What is the best approach to game mechanics, for medieval/historical MMO game, when speaking about historical events and time flow?
Easy part is the start, that could be some predefined year and universe-sate. But what about time flow, and events.
- Should game just start from predefined point and let players "write their own history" without a time limit?
- Give some sort of real time flow (like 1 real day is 1 game year), and set enviroment realistic (with people getting adult/old, etc), no historical events that "touch players".
- Give time flow and AI driven historical events, if player is situated at historical event location and his current side loses, he lose/is affected too.
- Make players always neutral, give opportunity to join historical events but their actions does not affect final, just gives some goods.
- Historical achievements take global scope, new player has current technology level, not the lowest that was in game.
- If there is time flow, what to do about the point, where "game ends"? "Reset Matrix"?
- No historical events, tons of graphical/textual data, that "can be readen" while in game or *pops out* when player gets some achievement?
There are tons of approaches but I'm interested mostly in those, that would allow The Game work as educative material, that would allow explore and learn history, feel/understand the life, that was back there.
Summing up: what would be best approach for game universe design, of historical MMO startegy game, that could serve as history lesson about early to late middle ages in europe. I would like to see your suggestions to what should have most accent, what could ruin such game, what could make gamers enjoy "playing history".
I have seen many games, where developers was using many different approaches, like in "Mount & Blade", all of those "Hearts Of Iron", "Age Of Empires", "Civilization" and many many more, but still, I could not say, they are educating or very close to reality, but I can't really say, what was that, what they missed to get that teaching perk. What are your thoughts?

The Pacific Islands region covers almost 15% of the world's surface and is characterised by a high degree of ecosystem and species diversity as well as an extremely high level of endemicity (often over 90% for particular groups). The region has a high degree of economic and cultural dependence on the natural environment, and many conservation and development challenges: for example, rapid population growth often leading to over-harvesting of natural resources; high levels of threats by invasive species in island ecosystems; and vulnerability to the impacts of climate change.
The Species Programme of IUCN's Oceania Regional Office is concerned with delivering on the organisation's Thematic Priority Area 1 – Conserving the diversity of life - by ensuring sustainable and equitable management of biodiversity in the Pacific islands region.

The Food

Past successes have included a velvety-smooth lobster bisque for a starter, along with basil-fed escargot served with pumpkin. Excelling when dealing with the seafoods that have made Baltimore famous, Hampton's gives local foodies a reason to be proud with dishes like a novel crab and mustard-encrusted rockfish.
Simply put: One of Baltimore's Best!!!
Absolutely the best service. Truly romantic atmosphere, great views of Baltimore's Inner Harbor, and terrific food. Tables spread out to allow for private conversation. Relax and have drinks in the Explorer's Lounge while listening to cool Jazz.

1930 - First round
1950 - First round

2006 - Second round
The story so far: As the dominant footballing force in the North American/CONCACAF region, it is rare for a World Cup to be without the Mexicans. However, they have a record of underachievement at the finals - only in 1970 and 1986, on both occasions as hosts, have they gone beyond the second round.
After making their World Cup debut in 1930, they became serial qualifiers onwards but generally struggled. In 1986, Mexico advanced to the second round, where they defeated Bulgaria at the Estadio Azteca. A memorable scissor-kick goal from Manuel Negrete was the hosts' highlight before West Germany won 4-1 on penalty kicks in the quarter-finals. They were excluded from the 1990 tournament after fielding ineligible players in qualifiers for the 1988 Olympics but returned in 1994 and 1998, exiting both in the second round. Local rivals USA got the better of them at the same stage in 2002 and Germany 2006 was the same old story, though Argentina needed extra-time to see them off in Leipzig.Qualification: Mexico survived a near-nightmare, and needed three coaches in the process of qualifying. While he was getting his team together for World Cup qualifying, Hugo Sánchez was fired after failing to qualify for the Beijing 2008 Olympics. Sven-Göran Erikson coached the team for only 13 games, including six defeats, and left the team in serious trouble. Former Atletico Madrid boss Javier Aguirre then came to the rescue for the second time in his career. Qualifying record: P18, W11, D2, L 5, F36, A18.
Most appearances: Andrés Guardado, Ricardo Osorio (16).Top goalscorers: Andres Guardado, Carlos Vela, Cuauhtemoc Blanco, Fernando Arce, Jared Borgetti, Pavel Pardo (3).

In short: As a motor racing fan & a lover of running, this is a great place to race and one of my favourites of the year, extremely welll organised but you have to keep your head down on the straights to avoid seeing how far you've got to run, great atmospherDate of review: May 20, 2010
In short: Enjoyable event and a great way to see behind the scenes of a grand prix track. Quick course when the wind is slight.Date of review: May 19, 2010
In short: Great course for a PBIn full: 2nd time I've done this race and it was to gain a PB (which I did-thanks Tim!) Conditions were perfect. Well organised race, shame about chip timing situation but understand why. Was quite gutted (but my fault I suppose)that I thought the finish line was further away than it was so sprint finished far too late- almost at finish line. Maybe a 500m to finish would be helpful. Will prob do again but only to gain PB. Not organisers fault but just quite a dull course.Date of review: May 19, 2010

How to Respond to Negative Reviews
Beth posted this almost a full month ago, but I've been thinking about it nonstop since then. It's SO worth a read, and very, very wise. It is also now VERY relevant for me.
I'm grateful to have had some amazing positive feedback for The Darkest Minds, but I've also had some harsh feedback, and some disappointment from readers who liked my first book (which, for me, is the hardest to see—I have a very deep fear of disappointing people) but didn't care for this one at all. TDM might turn out to be one of those books that you either love madly or hate ruthlessly.
I'm glad that I'm in a good enough place emotionally about this book that I can look at the criticism and think, "Oh, because this reader didn't understand where the main character was coming from or didn't like XYZ plot point, the rest of the story didn't gel for them." Or I can look at a comment like "this book needed more editing" and just laugh because—no joke—a good six people have had their hands in this story editorially. (And, not to humblebrag, here, but if I find I need perspective on things, I can also look at the book's Kirkus review and remember that a professional reviewer loved the main character, the plot, and thought the pacing was right on.)
Thanks to Beth, I ALSO keep repeating the following mantra to myself: "There are people in this world who don't like bacon." It usually comes with me just turning to look at myself in the mirror and saying, "BACON."
I, myself, do not like chocolate. Or kittens. Or coffee. And that's okay. As Liam would say, different strokes for different folks. Obviously I want everyone to love this book as much as I do, but that's not a realistic goal. A realistic goal, for me, is to keep working to improve with every book I write—regardless of the feedback I get on this one.
(But I still went ahead and blocked GoodReads on my work and home computer. At this point, I really just need to finish Sequel and I'm not going to be able to do it if I have other critical voices chatting in my head.)

SPARKS – On Friday at about 10:30 p.m., Sparks police officers responded to the 2300 block of G St. on a report of a stabbing that had just occurred. When officers arrived on scene, they met with the victim, a 21-year-old male Sparks resident. The victim told officers that he was walking towards a nearby convenience store when he and a friend were approached by two Hispanic males. The Hispanic males confronted the victim regarding possible gang affiliation. When the victim denied any gang affiliation, he was "jumped" and one of the suspects produced a knife and stabbed him.
The first suspect is described as 17 to 18 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches tall with a thin build and wearing a black t-shirt and shorts. The second suspect is described as 17 to 18 years old, about 5 feet 7 inches tall with a thin build and wearing a white t-shirt and denim shorts. Both suspects were described as having black hair. Neither suspect is known to the victim.
The victim suffered multiple puncture wounds that were not life threatening. He was transported to Renown Regional Medical Center for further medical attention.
The Regional Gang Unit is investigating the stabbing and possible gang affiliation.
Anyone with information regarding this stabbing is asked to call the Sparks Police Department Detective Division at 353-2225 or Secret Witness at 322-4900.

Sunday, April 20, 2014
By John Richardson firstname.lastname@example.com
Staff Writer
PORTLAND — Maine voters are sticking by President Obama – so far, at least – despite deep concern about the lagging economy, according to a Portland Press Herald poll.
The Portland Press Herald poll was conducted by Critical Insights, a Portland-based opinion research firm.
The company called 615 voters around the state from June 20-25. It used random landlines and cellphones and conducted personal interviews.
The results were statistically weighted to reflect the demographics of the state's voting population.
The poll has a margin of error of 4 percentage points for results based on the entire sample, with larger margins for subgroups such as independent voters or older voters.
An additional 100 women were polled to provide additional data on women's perspectives.
A statewide sampling of Maine voters shows they favor Obama over Republican challenger Mitt Romney, 49 percent to 35 percent, with four months left in the intensifying presidential campaign.
Nationally, Obama and Romney are in a dead heat at 47 percent each, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll released Tuesday.
Mainers say they continue to struggle economically just like other Americans, and that disappointment has subdued the enthusiasm of some who supported Obama in 2008, 58 percent to 40 percent over Republican John McCain. However, Romney has yet to turn the issue against Obama and connect with voters in Maine the way he has in other states, the poll suggests.
Former Maine Gov. Angus King, meanwhile, holds a substantial lead over his Republican and Democratic rivals in the race for Maine's open U.S. Senate seat.
Fifty-five percent of those polled said they support King, more than double the support for the closest candidate, Republican Charlie Summers. Twenty-seven percent of respondents said they favor Summers and 7 percent said they favor Democrat Cynthia Dill.
King, running as an independent, is drawing support from members of both parties, especially Democrats. Sixty-seven percent of the Democrats polled said they support King, while 17 percent said they support Dill, the party's nominee.
Maine's two U.S. representatives, both Democrats, lead in their bids for re-election Nov. 6, according to the poll.
Rep. Chellie Pingree is especially strong in the 1st Congressional District, leading Republican Jon Courtney 57 percent to 31 percent among those polled in southern and coastal Maine.
Rep. Mike Michaud leads Republican Kevin Raye 47 percent to 35 percent in Maine's 2nd District, where a relatively large bloc of voters said they are undecided.
The poll, conducted by Portland-based Critical Insights in late June, provides a snapshot of voter opinion in Maine at the start of the four-month general election campaigns. Poll numbers still reflect name recognition to some degree, and there is plenty of time and campaigning left for candidates to rise and fall, experts say.
A close look at the results shows where candidates are strong and where they face challenges. It also reveals that Maine voters are following national trends in some ways, and breaking away in others.
Here is a deeper look at each race:
The poll results suggest two big reasons for Obama's lead in Maine so far: Many Mainers are not blaming him for the continuing economic problems, and they have not warmed up to Mitt Romney.
The strain of a lagging economy three years into Obama's presidency is clearly swaying some voters here.
Greg Hatt, 56, a carpenter who's a registered Democrat from Camden, said he voted for Obama in 2008 but is leaning against voting for him again in November.
"I think he's let the country down by focusing so much on this health care thing," Hatt said. "He should have been really pushing the economy."
Overall, however, Mainers clearly appear to be more forgiving than most other Americans.
Obama's 48 percent approval rating in Maine is about the same as his rating nationally. But his disapproval rating is 40 percent in Maine and 48 percent nationally.
Jason Bermudez, a 40-year-old legal receptionist who is a registered Democrat, said he still has faith in the president.
"I think he was handed a big mess, and to think that he could have wrapped it all up in four years is a little naive," said Bermudez, who lives in Portland. "I think that he's a great man and I don't think we've seen the best he can do yet."

If "sharing the role" meant they were both on stage at the same time then you'd have a point, but if someone had booked to see Jodie after voting for her and under the impression that she'd be doing a full week's work, only to find that the schedule had changed and Jessie was there instead, then they'd have every right to be disgruntled. I'm sure there are some people who don't care who they see so long as that person has been on the telly, but many of the audience will want to see "their" Nancy, not somebody else's Nancy.
It's not like the situation when someone's off sick and a replacement must be used. If people book to see Jodie and the producers don't even try to provide her then the audience is fully entitled to get a refund or an exchange.
It's not like the situation when someone's off sick and a replacement must be used. If people book to see Jodie and the producers don't even try to provide her then the audience is fully entitled to get a refund or an exchange.
I do see your point Matthew, and I don't believe for a moment that there wasn't a clause inserted by the BBC to prevent a runner up or another contestant from appearing as well within the initial contract time for the winner - which is about 6 months, isn't it? So, I really don't think it is going to be an issue.
However, Connie was only initially meant to do 6 shows, I believe I am right in saying? Therefore, the public is probably aware that if they were pre booking tickets, it would be better to do so for one of the 'big' nights, and guarantee their choice of performer, because after Connie strained her voice, the producers may have been more insistent that a relatively inexperienced reality show performer not risk the same problem? I am talking avoiding understudy here, not another contestant from IDA.
My second point to the person who said that to get top price tickets you had to book months in advance - this was certainly true for the first few months, and you needed to do that when they came out, four or five weeks before the final. There was no guarantee who was going to be Nancy at this point, even though it may well have looked like it would be Jodie.
Thirdly, I wanted Jessie to win, or Sam or Rachel. BUT, if one of them had and Jodie had been given two performances that were not at peak time, I really would not have had a problem. Yes I would have been disappointed if I had booked one of those performances, but I had the wit to think they might use an understudy for some Wednesday matinees, and therefore booked a Friday instead (I admit, hoping for Jessie, hey ho!)
I would not want my money back. The money raised from phone votes last year went to Children in Need, and this year it goes towards bursaries to help young performers train who may not have the funds to do so.
Lastly, I know that BG and RA may do all 8 shows, but RA is only on until July, and BG will probably have other filming commitments and therefore have the same sort of run. Most big stars, especially those who do other things than MT, do not have a really protracted run.
It would be hoped, by her fans (?) presumably that Jodie will do a year or more. 8 shows a week for that length of time, even with holidays is exhausting. Could this also be a factor in the decision, do you think?

The final race Sunday was the Pro 2 Unlimited event that featured the fastest machines and some all-star drivers. When the dust settled, however, one racer held off all challengers to take the winner's trophy.
"I had one of the best drivers in off road behind me and he was faster than everyone all weekend and I knew it was going to take some digging to beat him," Brian Deegan said in victory circle. "All I can do is to run the lines I know and do the best I can do and if they're going to beat me, they're going to beat me."
Those lines were pretty good as it allowed Deegan to take the lead at the start and hold off Carl Renezeder for the entire event. Behind the leaders there was a battle royal for the next two spots on the podium.
One contender was Supercross legend Jeremy McGrath who battled with Rob MacCachren and Greg Adler for second and third.
There were a few cautions but the scary one came with two to go. Up at the top of the first hill, just before the ski jump, Jeff Geiser was bumped by the driver in back of him.
That impact sent him into the truck of Rob Naughton as they launched off the ski jump. The result was Naughton rolling about four times down the hill.
Fortunately all the safety gear and equipment worked and Naughton emerged uninjured but the same can't be said for his truck.
That set up a two-lap sprint to the finish that Deegan won when he held off Renezeder. Behind them, MacCacren took third followed by Greg Adler and McGrath.
Before that Pro 2 event the Super Lite trucks took to the track and put on a show of their own. This class, developed by local John Harrah is a great starting point for new pros.
One of them is Bryan Osborn, who finished third Saturday but didn't complete Sunday's race. His father Kenny Osborn builds the Black Rhino UTVs and is helping his son develop his racing career.
The family is based out of Alpine, California and are a good example of how racing parents are helping their children, both boys and girls compete in motorsports.
The Super Lites ran without a caution but there was wild action in the pack. One local competing was Matt Buyten driving in only his second Super Lites truck race.
After finishing ninth in Saturday's event he's really gotten the hang of racing on four wheels rather than on a motorcycle. In fact at one time he was battling for second but had to settle for fourth behind Drew Britt.
Up front, Sheldon Creed was able to hold off a determined Jessie Johnson for the victory.
"I got to the lead in the first turn and from there pretty much led the thing," Sheldon Creed said during the victory ceremony. "Made a few mistakes but I was too far ahead for anybody to pass so I got a win and keep charging up the points."
The Pro Lites event was won by Ryan Beat and Steven Greinke took the Pro Buggy victory.
The only other local competing in the pro divisions was John Harrah, who raced in the Pro 4 event where he came in ninth behind winner Carl Renezeder.
That race also featured a family duel as Todd LeDuc managed to grab second away from his father Curt LeDuc, who finished in front of his other son Todd.
On the podium Todd said what an honor it was to race with his father. And the elder LeDuc commented on how his sons were making him work harder on the track.
Each day's racing began with the Karts and Limited Buggies competing. While the karts, which look like small trucks, used a short course the buggies used the long course.
Saturday also featured a full racing card and that day ran almost to sundown.
In that day's racing the Pro 4 winner was Kyle LeDuc while Doug Fortin topped the Pro Buggy class. The Pro Lites winner was Casey Currie and Cody Rahdem topped the Super Lites while Marty Hart won the Pro 2 race.
The actual work on building the track from the old motocross course began on June 6 and was turned over to the Lucas Oil people on August 20. Most of the work was done by Q&D Construction, which was quite a feat considering how much earth had to be moved as well as bleachers built, concrete poured and the parking area set.
Most drivers liked what they saw although Deegan mentioned that it was a bit hard on the trucks. Harrah, when asked explained it's the most wide-open track the Lucas Oil series runs on and the speeds demonstrated just that.
While there might be some minor changes from what everyone this reporter spoke with the series will return once more for the second annual Silver State Showdown.
•American Valley Speedway in Quincy, Calif. was a busy place this weekend as the annual Dwarf Car Nationals were staged on Friday and Saturday evenings. Three classes, Sportsman or beginners, Veterans and Pros took their turns on this fast paper clip shaped track.
When the Sportsman took to the track, it appeared that Brock Peters had everyone covered. That is until the white flag lap when he spun out of the lead handing the victory to Hannah Mayhew, who was followed across the line by Dillon Chrisman.
Two cautions and a race stopping red flag period slowed the Veterans down. A spin by the leader caused another car to spin and get clipped by Leroy Kay's car that wound up on its side.
Fortunately only two cars were injured in the melee and when racing resumed the field took off. At the end Angel Figueroa won with Kevin Bender coming in second.
It took two attempts to get the Pro main started and only one caution slowed the race's pace. Local Joe Frock looked like a contender until he broke part of his car's rear suspension.
After that the race was all Ryan Winter's as he roared away to the victory followed by Ronnie Williamd and Ryan Diatte.
Unfortunately results from Saturday's racing were not available when this report was filed.
•This week's racing begins Saturday morning as the Reno Chapter of the Old Timer's hosts its traditional Nationals event. It's a two-day event with three motos on Saturday followed by two on Sunday and things usually get going around 10 a.m. each day.
On Saturday evening 95A Speedway in Fernley, starting at 6 p.m., hosts another of its point's races while an hour later, in Susanville, California Diamond Mountain Speedway also will be in action.
On Sunday, beginning around 10 a.m., the Northern Nevada Kart Clubs stages its next points race at Desert Park Raceway.
•NASCAR's Nevada Trio spent this past week at Bristol Motor Speedway. On Wednesday Brendan Gaughan started 11th and finished fifth in the Camping World Truck race.
In Friday's Nationwide event, Kyle Busch ended up fifth. When the checkered flag flew on Saturday's Sprint Cup race Kyle came from 10th to sixth while older brother Kurt started 20th but fell back to 28th at the end.

Shamed Mom and 10 + year patron on Mother's Day – My friend has been a patron of Amenities in Fig Garden for over ten years. She has two very well behaved children 8 and 9 that she regularly takes and they sit in waiting room captivated with their PSP while she gets her hair done. On the days she doesn't take them, the staff in the past asks where her children are. Today, Mother's Day, she brought her children as she has in the past. The receptionist looked at her up and down and said she would have to reschedule because she had her children with her. When she said she always had brought them for years with no issue and never had problem before, the receptionist incredulously refused service even after consulting with the manager. This never has been mentioned in the past, nor when booking the appointment, and she almost seemed encouraged to bring her children. Instead of feeling good about herself and treating herself on Mother's Day, she left horribly embarrassed and feeling ashamed and cried in her car. She is a good decent mother and volunteer in the community who didn't deserve to be treated like this and especially on Mother's Day of all days.
I have never written a review in my life and am a well respected attorney in Fresno. I am so completely disgusted with the insensitive, cruel treatment I feel compelled to write this.
If you are a mother or have any ounce of compassion towards other's in this situation, I ask you, beg you, to boycott Amenities and take your business elsewhere. The only way to effect change is to hit this insensitive company in the pocketbook.
Beautiful day followed by a luxurious massage by MING – My moms birthday fell on Thanksgiving this year (2009) and as a treat, I took her around town two days before her birthday on a mystery-birthday scavenger hunt with a gift at each location.
My last gift to her was a massage. I read the reviews on google, and they seemed to have the best results in town regarding your typical spa experience.
As we went in it smelled of sandalwood, which I have never been particularly fond of (until now)...but by the end of our experience It conditioned me into connected sandalwood with tranquility.
So as soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Michelle, a very nice young woman who was friendly as could be. She walked us through the building to a waiting room that was decorated beautifully throughout.
I was not planning on waiting inside while she had her massage, but it was so relaxing and the atmosphere made me feel at ease. I was given a neck warmer as I sat by the warm electric fireplace (it looked like a gas fireplace, so cool) and I was also asked by Michelle if I wanted a 'foot soak' but I respectfully declined. I read some magazines and sipped on water as I waited privately until my mom finished her massage with Ming. When she came out, she looked so rested. Our appointment was later in the evening so it was a perfect way to end the day for my mom. We will be back. Thanks for the amazing experience!

[Also additional embarrassing information, I have put on a lot weight, and will be having laproscopic gastric bypass early 2010 and I often feel very uncomfortable going to places like this since i've put on so much weight. I was treated so well and that was a big plus for me]
So Happy! – After having bad experiences at two other hair salons in Fresno, I decided to give this place a try. Wow!! They were able to accomodate me last minute and the second I walked in I was greeted by the friendly receptionist. They immediately took me to the waiting room and offered me tea. I felt instant relaxation that I've never felt at other salons. I was greeted by my stylist Camille who was such a sweet girl. I almost wish she was running behind so I could relax some more!! My haircut started with a wonderful neck and scalp massage which is standard with all their hair services. Later I was greeted my another woman while at the sink who gave me a hand massage. The only weird thing is she only did one hand!! I'm not sure if that is the norm, and I was too embarassed to ask about the other hand! During the styling, they teach you about all the products they are applying. I seriously thought I was going to get the sales pitch and pressure me to buy but there was none of that at all!! I am very happy with my hair and I have finally found a salon in Fresno!! This place is truly first class and without the first class prices I was paying elsewhere! With the added features, I am more than a happy customer.
Amenities Day Spa and Salon in Fig Garden – I went into the Amenities location with the hope of getting some help with their makeup products. After sitting around for about five minutes and finally asking if I could get some help (there were no customers in the store, only employees) Rachael Busenhart approached me smaking her lips with food in her mouth and asked what I needed. I explained that I would like to try on makeup and she suggested I start putting some colors on my hand? When I asked if I could be matched she stated that she could try to match me but since I was already wearing makeup that it might be kind of hard -- okay! When I suggested she remove my makeup she only said "I'm sorry I am not that good at this." At that point I walked out --- RUDE service and staff that are not knowledgeable - total turn off and I will not be returning!
Avoid unless you like poor quality service and haircuts – I had a terrible color and cut experience at Aveda in Fresno and even though I went back to have the color fixed, they couldn't tone down the brassiness. I didn't even ask them to fix the cut because I was afraid of what they might do based on the poor quality of the original cut. There wasn't even a scalp rub or hand massage to distract me. Worse yet, I wrote the owner a detailed letter regarding my experience and what it had cost me have my hair done poorly by Aveda and then again correctly at another salon. She didn't even have the courtesy to respond: no "I'm sorry," "please give us another try" or even a refund. She obviously doesn't care what people think of her salon or Aveda.
Wonderful service – No fake smiles here. Very friendly, caring place throughout. Beautiful spa and salon. I love Aveda. I have my Hair done by Dana and Monica and everywhere I go people stop me and say "great hair" Makes me feel so good. I also get facials and waxing. All the technicians are great. I have not had a bad service yet. Oh, and I great fabulous pedicures in a private room all to myself. Love it....If you have a gift to give someone, you cannot go wrong giving a gift certificate. That is how I started going there. Someone gave me a 100.00 Gift Certificate. What a great gift it was....
An Aveda salon in Fresno – great to have an aveda salon in fresno. always have good merchandise in stock. very friendly staff. always helpful
Aveda is good, hairstylist - not so much – I'm new to the area and was looking for a local hairstylist. I read these reviews and like Aveda products, so I picked this place for a cut and color. The color was fine, but how can you mess up an all over tint? The cut however, I absolutely hate. The layers are too obviously in rows across the back of my hair and the "long bangs" are a mess. I could've gotten this haircut at a mall. I can't wait until it grows out so I can return to Chicago to my old stylist to fix it!! The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the color was fine, so I would recommend it as long as you don't want any complicated color and don't have high standards for a haircut. I didn't schedule any spa services so can't comment on that, but I would go back and try them.
Editorial Review – Services include body wraps, massage, nail care, waxing, makeup application and facials, plus treatments for men and day of beauty packages.
A Diamond in the Rough! – Amenities is truly a diamond in the rough! I have visited many Salons and Spas over the years, but have never been treated as wonderfully as I am always treated at Amenities! From the moment I walk through the door, I am greeted by name by the ladies behind the desk. How wonderful to feel so welcome as i arrive.
And my stylist is truly a treasure, Denise always seems so happy to see me and makes me feel like I am her one and only client in the world. It is hard to find a stylist that can tame my hair, but let me say, my hair has never looked better. It is especially nice to find a stylist that works around MY schedule, instead of having to work around the stylists.
It is so nice to finally find a Spa that gives me everything that I have had to travel out of town for in the past. No more drives for me because Amenities, i'm here to stay!

Our Lady of Luján
The Virgin is a two feet tall terracotta statue of Our Lady. It was made in Brazil and sent to Argentina in May 1630. Its original appearance seemed inspired by Murillo's Immaculates. In 1887, to preserve and protect it, the image was given a solid silver covering. It is usually clothed with a white robe and sky blue cloak, the colors of the Argentinian flag. Only the dark oval face with big blue eyes and the hands folded in prayer are now visible.
Tradition says that an ox-drawn wagon was taking the statue from Buenos Aires to Santiago del Estero. The animals stopped at the Luján River and refused to cross. Through trial and error the teamsters discovered that it the box with the Virgin was in the wagon, the oxen would not move; if it was removed, then away they went. After testing this several times, the people realized that Our Lady wanted to stay in Luján, and so she is there today.
The image was first taken to the nearby home of Don Rosendo. He built a primitive chapel for it which lasted 40 years. A bigger shrine was completed in 1685. A new sanctuary was built in the 19th century. The image was crowned canonically in 1887. In 1930 Pope Pius XII gave the sanctuary the title of Basilica.

NEW CASTLE, Pa. —
Owning a pit bull in Bessemer will soon be a costly proposition.
For starters, try buying a $10,000 bond. And then there's more. Bessemer Borough Council unanimously revised its 25-year-old pit bull ordinance at a special meeting this week, updating fees to reflect current costs.
The dogs "are considered dangerous animals/dogs and potentially hazardous to the community," the ordinance states. The council raised the required bond to keep a pit bull or similar dog more than 6 months old from $5,000 to $10,000.
The bond must be posted to help cover victim medical costs in case of an attack. The council also raised a sliding scale of annual license fees for keeping pit bulls. They now range from $175 per year for one dog to $1,100 for three.
In addition, prospective owners must pay a $75 application fee to get the license. That was raised from $50.
One more type of dog, the Rottweiler, was added to dog breeds considered dangerous and potentially hazardous under the new ordinance.
Details for this story were provided by the New Castle, Pa., News.

Do White Castle prices tell us anything about the minimum wage?
The paper looked at how many delicious steamed sliders the minimum wage has been able to purchase over time. The point is that as it notes, in 1981, the $3.35 minimum could buy a whole dozen. Today, at $7.25, it could purchase just 10.

Fleshmarket Close, Edinburgh – Ink
This view of one of the old "Closes" is from an old print dated 1845. The closes, so named after the passageways formed by high buildings close to each other, were used for general passageways as well as for trading. Although there are no traders and people in this scene Fleshmarket Close would have been teeming with butchers plying their trade. It must have been a pretty insanitary place in the old days. In bygone many, many people were crammed into these buildings but today, Its interesting to note that the properties are much sought after. One tiny building, with one bedroom, is currently up for rent of around £1,000 per month. Fleshmarket Close has one of the smallest pubs in the city halfway down the steep street. It is called, appropriately, the Halfway House.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Exactly what we envisioned!
Hawaii Aloha Save the Date Magnets We are having a destination wedding in Hawaii and this design was exactly what we were looking for. The magnets are well made and the foil lined envelopes give them a special touch.
A great choice!
Hawaiian Sea Turtle Save the Date Magnets We are so happy we chose to go with save the date magnets. Our guests love them too because they are adorable but also useful. Since you can hang them on your fridge our guests are less likely to loose them which is great because we sent them out two years before the wedding as a reminder for people to start saving since the wedding is in Hawaii. The magnet looked great and we received them very quickly. I also loved how they came with their own envelopes.
Lovely magnet
Hawaiian Sea Turtle Save the Date Magnets I love these sea turtle magnets. I bought them for my Hawaiian wedding and I think everyone will love them. For the price and speed I was impressed at the quality of the magnet.
Amazing Save the Dates!
Hawaiian Turtle Save the Date Magnets I was incredibly impressed with my order of Save the Dates from Magnetstreet. My sister ordered hers through Magnetstreet, I did the same, and I will make sure that anyone else I know also does so. They deliver quality and they do so in a very timely manner. Couldn't be happier!!
Just right
Hawaiian Flowers Save the Date Magnets We are delighted with our purchase of save the date magnets for our upcoming wedding — the magnets look great and are true to the colors that we chose upon ordering (we personalized the colors). It took 10 days to receive them from the time/date they were placed. When writing it down, it doesn't seem like very long, but it felt like a long wait due to our own excitement and impatience. We even received four more magnets than we ordered and there was a note about that on the receipt in the box stating that they included the extras that were available at that time. I don't think this is something to EXPECT with every purchase, however it was a great surprise! Having a few extra will really come in handy. They came in a very nice magnetic box that we will surely be able to use again for something. Everyone who has seen the magnets (and even the packaging they came in) was very impressed! We will definitely order from MagnetStreet again!
