The department of German, Russian, Asian, and Middle Eastern Languages & Cultures encompasses eight languages which are deemed of critical importance in today's multicultural world. Development and cultivation of any of these languages may enhance your earning or hiring potential in any field of science or business. Fulfilling the Global Perspectives part of the Miami Plan requirements for graduation becomes much easier with a language as study abroad options become wide-open avenues for personal, and future career development. As you plan your collegiate life, we invite you to consider the taking one of the languages we offer.
"After graduating, I used my degree in English to start a career teaching my native tongue, a decision that ended up taking me across the world, from Iceland to Tajikistan. Incredibly, regardless of where I went, I always seemed to find some use for my German."
"I want to work for an international humanitarian organization or NGO."
"My experiences on the ground, interacting with the people of Iraq, are what sparked my interest in the Middle East and the Arabic language."
"Majoring in German and American Studies has taught me to analyze and think critically about different cultural trends and allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of both cultures."
"I received a scholarship and take Russian lessons twice a week. This is my favorite program within the Russian department because it encourages us to attend related lectures and become more active in it."
"My degrees from Miami have given me the practical knowledge needed for my position in addition to preparing me to live and work in a foreign country."
"Miami's [GRAMELAC] Department will not only challenge you but encourage you to go beyond coursework to reach fluency in your chosen foreign language."
"The faculty of [GRAMELAC] ignited in me a keen interest in German literature, from its origins to postwar works."
"...the Miami Plan prescribed language aptitude. Since I didn't have any, I picked German nearly arbitrarily. It turned out to be a very useful language."
"Within a couple months, I developed an intense fascination with language studies and changed my major immediately to East Asian Languages and Cultures."
"...my knowledge of German, especially technical German, was invaluable..."
"When looking back at some of my best personal and professional decisions, attending Miami University is always at the top of my list."
"When I arrived at Miami University … I had no idea just how much my life would change and how much I would learn. And I owe a great deal of that to the German department at Miami."
"I came to discover more about myself and who I wanted to be as a world citizen."
"Miami allowed me to take advantage of numerous departments, including [GRAMELAC], to create an undergraduate experience that was deeply personalized and current."
"I've learned many concrete things at Miami, but the most important thing was how to work with people and develop an intercultural relationship."
Congratulations to Dr. Sascha Gerhards!

"Wow Wow Wow...what a vacation it was...13 of us, 5 children under the age of 6 and 8 adults all celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary at Disney. We chose ALL STAR based on your high customer ratings all over the Internet. What we received when we arrived far exceeded our expectations. ALL STAR under-promises, and over-delivers, so unusual in this day and age. From the moment I started my planning, the staff were more than helpful. They can answer any question you have and if they don't have the answer, they find it and get back to you!!! "As for the home we stayed in, well it is a home not a house. Our family loved everything, but the one feature that stood out was the comfort of the beds...after hours of walking, those foam topped beds are heavenly and everyone slept so well (we all returned home and bought one for our beds). "ALL STAR does a great job of advertising and giving you all the information you need to make your decision, but here of some of the great things they don't tell you: the foam toppers on the bed, two dryers not one, great for a big family, a waffle maker, movies available at no charge, a Disney book on the coffee table, the table all set ready to eat when you arrive, and a wonderful resident handyman who seems to sit by the phone in case you need anything. "Our family loved our vacation and we have told everyone that staying in an ALL STAR home is the only way to go if you have a family. We will be back. Thank you ALL STAR for making our anniversary and Disney visit such a wonderful one."
- The Durdos Family from Canada
"Lighthouse Key Resort was everything we expected. The condo was clean and spacious. The kids had their own room and we had a place to relax when they went to bed. The balcony overlooked the beautiful pool area. We used the in-room washer/dryer daily which meant we only needed to do one load of laundry upon coming home from vacation. "We also used the business center each day to make restaurant reservations, look up directions for places, and to print out out return plane tickets. It was very convenient for us. The game room was a big hit for the kids as well. Overall, this place was great. I will definitely use ALL STAR again in the future!"
- The Soler Family from Connecticut
"My husband will be leaving in July for a one year tour of Pakistan. In looking at taking the children to Disney we decided a house versus a hotel was the way to go. Then, once we decided on a house, we invited the whole family to join us for our vacation! "The house was great, everyone had plenty of space yet we were able to all watch movies in comfort. The kids enjoyed getting to go to Disney World with Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts and Uncle. What a great vacation!"
- The Gregory Family from Alabama
"I could have never imagined that going to Disney with my husband, 3 children - ages 6, 5 & 2 - my parents, sister and 14 year old nephew would be so relaxing. We spent the most glorious week enjoying our beautiful ALL STAR home and all the fun Disney World has to offer. "Our ALL STAR home in Windsor Hills gave us the opportunity to relax and enjoy one another's company each and every day. Having the comforts of home away from home made our trip to Disney even more magical. Our kids had the greatest time with their big cousin in the pool and at the Disney parks. They enjoyed every second of it because they had the normalcy of a home and their own room every day. "Enjoying the 'new-to-them' toys in the playroom, the themed bedrooms, swimming in the pool and then off to Disney each day was not too much for them because they were comfortable and well rested. You can never do that in a hotel room. Their happiness each morning made the trip more magical and relaxing than I ever thought it would be. "I never could have imagined how much fun this trip would turn out to be. I can look at our pictures every day and still get teary-eyed reliving it because the magic is still in my heart. Now, I just hope I never lose it. "In the end, this is the only way we will go back to Disney. It was a true vacation! We came home happy, full of magnificent memories and well rested. And, Mommy came home the happiest because the only dirty clothes we had were our pajamas from the last night in the house. "Thank you ALL STAR, we will surely see you again soon!"
- The Martin Family from New Jersey
everything we thought that it would be." "What a great house. There were 12 of us staying in your home. My husband and I and our four children and my friend and her husband and 4 children. "We went on a cruise to the Bahamas and we were very crowded on the boat. No room in the pools and people everywhere. It was such a relief to get to the house and everyone could have there own space. OUR OWN POOL AND HOT TUB. "We also went to Disney and did some shopping. The house was immaculate and everything we thought that it would be. "Your ALL STAR Staff was very friendly and helpful every time I had to call with questions - even before the trip. "Thanks and can't wait to go again."
- The Norman Family from Indiana
Our 2009 ALL STAR Story Winners!
"Our family trip consisted of 11 people, from 6 months old to 65 years old. The house was perfect for all of us. It had everything we could think of: crib, high chair, pool, spa, game room, movie theater room, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, every kitchen item imaginable. The furniture was top notch. The decor was also top of the line. The pool safety features were wonderful too. "If that weren't enough, the clubhouse offered other swimming and gaming options. We felt safe and secure in the gated community and the kids loved the playgrounds. "Thank you ALL STAR for a wonderful experience. "PS...we certainly didn't expect someone from ALL STAR to show up with new batteries for the remotes. That was very impressive. Thanks again!" - The Lucas Family, North Carolina
"This was a trip to remember. Christmas in Disney with 4 grandchildren and 6 adults who enjoy Disney as much as the grandchildren. ALL STAR helped us arrange for the decorated Christmas tree to be set up when we arrived at the home. The kids thought this was really great that Santa knew that they were spending Christmas in Orlando. "ALL STAR also helped us find a chef to cook us Christmas dinner in our home. What a meal - nothing to do but eat... "Our family thought that this was one of the best Christmases that they ever had."
- The Stewart Family from Canada
"Many of our most cherished family memories come from when our parents exposed us to different vacation destinations, especially during the holidays. Last Thanksgiving my siblings and I were able to do the same for our kids with our vacation in the Windsor Palms Resort. "Our kids took full advantage of all of the amenities that were offered, especially the Wii game room and 60 seat movie theatre in the resort clubhouse. It's been almost a year since our visit and our kids are still asking us 'when are we going back?' "Our ALL STAR vacation gave me and my siblings the ability to be able to give our kids the kind of memories and vacation experience that our parents gave us. We look forward to coming back real soon!"
- The Neal Family from Florida
"This was my family�s second stay in an ALL STAR vacation home and it was just as great as the first time!! Not only was it our family of 5 this time, but my parents and my brother�s family of 6 visiting Disney for the very first time. The kids, ranging in ages from 4 � 12, had a ball at the house swimming in the pool, sharing the Mickey themed bedrooms, playing pool and using the computers. Not to mention the entertainment they provided for each other and the adults in the house. There was never a dull moment. "My son even celebrated his 8th birthday during this trip and couldn't have been happier celebrating in Disney with his cousins. This trip provided these cousins with memories and fun that they will always remember. This never would have been possible in a hotel. My parents thoroughly enjoyed watching their grandchildren enjoy the magic of Disney and each other all together."
- The Silano Family from Pennsylvania
"We absolutely loved our Orlando vacation. We traveled with 6 adults and 3 children (4 years and younger). The house we stayed in was perfect - 5 bedroom/5 bath, which worked wonderful for 11 people! The pool and spa were the perfect end (or middle) of the hot August days. The house had a playroom which occupied the kids for hours. Each bedroom had a DVD/TV Combo, which helped out a lot. Once we settled into the home, which had plenty of storage, perfect kitchen and comfortable living room, we had everything we could have asked for. Having a washer and dryer was key! The house also had a PC with Internet access, so we were able to look up everything we need to know for the parks, weather, as well as take-out food options. "The service ALL STAR provided equally matched. When I first reached out for information, I knew we'd stay with this company. The service representative was so informative and suggested this home because of our family arrangement - additional safety fence around the pool and close proximity to the playground. She listened to our needs and selected the perfect home for us. ALL STAR also politely answered our silly questions and replaced problem appliances within minutes of our call. The house was immaculate upon arrival and set up perfectly. ALL STAR has everything covered! "The Windsor Hills community was beautiful and offered a zero entry pool (which everyone loved) and an amazing playground for the children. "We will no doubt return to Orlando and will again stay with ALL STAR. We have already recommended the house and ALL STAR to a dozen friends. "Thank you for making our family vacation everything (and more) than we had hoped for."
- The Sullivan, Miele, Sullivan and Chamberlain Families From New York
"Thank you ALL STAR Vacation Homes for making our dreams come true. We had a total of 16 people, including three generations of Texans who had never been to Orlando or to Disney World. For many of the adults in our group, this trip was a once in a lifetime opportunity to visit and experience the magic that is the Magic Kingdom. For the children, it was a time to spend quality play time with their cousins, swim in the ocean, and participate in endless opportunities for fun that can be found in Central Florida. "However, although most of us were looking forward to visiting Mickey, Minnie, and the rest of the characters at the theme parks, we were extremely impressed and excited with the luxury accommodations that were offered by ALL STAR Vacation Homes. Our Five Star house in Acadia Estates offered plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms, and all the amenities to keep a large extended family happy. We LOVED the pool, the game room, the wireless Internet, and more. But, what we enjoyed the most was spending our days and nights together as a family that would not have been possible had we stayed in a hotel or other type of lodging. Thanks again for a memorable and outstanding vacation! When we come back to Orlando, we'll definitely stay with ALL STAR Vacation Homes!"
- The Hummel, Aranda and Cruz Families From Austin and Dallas, Texas
�We first heard of ALL STAR Vacation Homes when we attended the 2007 DisMeet (MagicMeets�) in Allentown, PA, and ALL STAR Vacation Homes was a sponsor. We looked at the brochures they had at their table and saw how beautiful the houses were and dreamed of going. Imagine our surprise when we won the grand prize of a 4 night stay!! I went home and immediately began planning when we would go and picked Memorial day weekend, so my son could go to Star Wars Weekends at Disney, since they were usually held the last 2 weeks of May and the First 2 Weeks of June. So we booked for our whole "Disney family" (12 of us - 4 children and 8 adults) and planned and were so excited. �Unfortunately, that year they moved SWW to 4 weekends in June, so we missed it by one week. But the house more than made up for the disappointment!! We swam and relaxed and had a wonderful time. �So wonderful, in fact, that my father in law (83) kept mentioning to us how much he enjoyed it and how he wished we could do it again some time. �Labor Day weekend 2008 we had friends over and looked over the school calendar and decided to go the 5th of June -11th of June, 2009. We booked it and the kids (7 of them this time - we added another family and picked a house with bunk beds to fit them all) were jumping up and down and screaming. It was all we talked about from that point on. �And what a wonderful time we all had!! The pool was wonderful, the house was fantastic (especially the Movie Theatre Room!), and it was close to our favorite place in the world: Disney! The best part of the whole thing? My son finally got to go to Star Wars Weekends, and this time with more friends!! �Thank you ALL STAR for wonderful times and wonderful memories! I hope we will be able to book again soon!�
- The Stocker Family From Pennsylvania
ALL STAR Vacation Homes is a proud sponsor of MagicMeets� 2009.
See you in Harrisburg August 7th - 9th! |
"My family and my buddy�s family decided to book a home for our Disney vacation - 9 people in all with 5 children under 5 years old. We decided on a 4 star home (to save some money). We were so happy with our home. There were 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, so no one complained about not having a potty. "The house was immaculate and fully furnished (pack n' play, high chair, blender, bowls, silverware etc.) The pool was awesome!!! There was an alarm system on the back door so no kids could go outside unsupervised. There was even a child gate around the pool that an adult had to lift up and unhook (ALL STAR thought of everything). "The staff was so helpful and friendly (They even offered us a great recommendation to a phenomenal buffet 5 minutes away: Villa De Flora in the Gaylord Palms hotel - highly recommend - and even came over to raise the heat in our pool within 10 minutes of calling). "The house had 2 suites for the adults and an amazing game room for the kids. The kids loved the house, the parents loved the house and we will not get a hotel on any future vacations!!! I will recommend ALL STAR Homes to anyone and everyone who asks!!!!!"
- The Asch Family From New York
"I spent three years planning our Disney vacation! I studied the parks online from my desk at work. I ordered videos from all the attractions, calculated costs on spreadsheets, and looked at dates on calendars. Each year I felt defeated when I realized the Orlando dream was out of our budget. I wanted to take my children to Orlando while they were young so they could experience the magic that can only be felt by a child. Finally, after years of nagging, my husband agreed to take us. "I had decided to stay at one of the moderate Disney resorts for our accommodations but I was shocked at the price. Because I am a school teacher I can only travel during the peak season and the costs were outrageous! My friend told me to research vacation houses online and when I did I found ALL STAR Vacation Homes. "I found the most beautiful townhouse (4-2536 ML-WH) with three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a kitchen/living room, and washer/dryer. It was cheaper than a room with two queen beds at the Disney resort! It even had a pool and a Mickey themed bedroom/bathroom with a PlayStation 2 for the kids!!! There was also a community pool with a water slide! I rearranged my husband's vacation time just to get that town home and I am so glad I did! "We had a great time in Orlando! We visited the Magic Kingdom, Sea World, took a fan boat ride, and visited Universal Studios! It only took five minutes to get to Disney and 15 minutes to Universal Studios! We even visited family at Cocoa Beach! They were jealous of our accommodations! Because of the August sun we took the short ride back to the house during the days we visited the parks and ate lunch and swam in the pool. "We thought our vacation was going to be stressful with two kids, but it was wonderful. The home made the vacation relaxing and stress free! It was a home away from home. Actually, it was better than home! We were spoiled! The kids loved the house so much that they WANTED to leave the crowded hot theme parks to swim in the pool! "We had such a great time that we made a movie of our vacation for all of our family and friends to see! I have told all my friends and PTA moms about ALL STAR! I can't imagine what our vacation would have been like if we had the whole family crowded into one hotel room for a week! We have decided to go back to Orlando again and plan to stick with ALL STAR!! The staff was great and friendly and accommodated all of our needs!! We will never stay in hotel again."
- The Dooley Family From Virginia
"Our stay at Vista Cay Resort in Orlando was not only a vacation, it was our delayed honeymoon. Eight months after our wedding, we both finally had the chance to get away from the demands of college and work. What a perfect place to relax, bask in 5-star amenities, and enjoy Florida's beautiful weather! "We really appreciated the no-hassle check-in/check-out process. We simply entered our emailed pin number in the door of our condo, and checked-in online at our own convenience. There were no long lines at a front desk keeping us from getting our vacation started. Upon leaving, we just closed the door behind us. How cool is that? "During our five days at Vista Cay we swam in the huge infinity pool, enjoyed the hot tub at night, and used the provided Internet access to plan other activities. We visited nearby SeaWorld and took a roundtrip shuttle to Busch Gardens. More than anything, my husband and I were grateful to stay at such an impressive resort that made our honeymoon well worth the wait. "Our friends and family have seen our photos of the resort and are very impressed. The large bedrooms, leather furniture, granite countertops, tile floors, and spacious patio are gorgeous. Because the condo was stocked so well with supplies and amenities, we only needed to bring toothpaste and shampoo. We hope to book another stay with Vista Cay ALL STAR Vacation Homes next year. This time we'll bring others along too!"
- The Moorey Family From Michigan
"Since this was our sixth year renting a home through ALL STAR Vacation Homes, we pretty much knew what to expect - excellence! We were not disappointed. "We down-sized this year since we did not have as many people joining us. This was our first stay in the Windsor Hills community and we were very pleased with the home and community. My daughter loved the slide at the pool. We felt very secure in this neighborhood and did not mind having to be let in through the gates each time we returned home. "This year was all about relaxing and taking it easy, and that's just what we did. One day we rode out to Cocoa Beach and laid out on the beach and enjoyed the ocean. We went up to the Daytona NASCAR flea market and shopped around, but most of the week was spent enjoying the home, pool, hot tub and all the home's amenities. It was a much needed week of relaxation, rest, and enjoying the company of the friends we went with. "I can't wait until next year...we are already booked!!!! See you in February 2010!"
- The Dillon Family From Maryland
"Our dream vacation happened with ALL STAR Vacation Homes! My husband has been working on his education for most of our married life (15 years). He is now working on his doctorate and at a very challenging part of writing his dissertation. On top of this, he also works full-time to support his family. Most of our vacations are spent driving out to see our families that live in a different part of the country than us. Last year, my in-laws made a special announcement that they wanted to go on an individual trip with each of their 6 children's families. They said we could choose anywhere in the continental United States. This was a dream come true for us - finally a "real" vacation for our family to enjoy. When we made this announcement to our children, and asked them what sounded interesting for a vacation they asked us the following questions: "Does it have to be in Minnesota?" (That's where we live.) "Do we have to drive again?" (That's our usual mode of transportation, 2-3 days each way.) Then with more courage, "Could we see the ocean?" And finally, "What about Disney World?" Thus began our adventure of planning our vacation. Our children, 9 and 12, had never been to Florida or to Disney or to the ocean. Naturally we chose Orlando as our vacation destination. Staying with you was the icing on our cake! Our family enjoyed the townhouse and amenities almost as much as the visits to the Disney Parks. We even took a day off of the Parks to just enjoy the pool, activities, and movie theatre. It helped us relax and enjoy the Parks even more. The excitement of Disney can be exhausting, so it was good to come "home" each night to our townhouse and soak in the warm, heated pool. The location was perfect! We easily drove to the parks and grocery stores - even the ocean was a pleasant 45 minute drive. It was in good proximity to other major attractions of the area as well. Our family finally had one of our dreams come true, and a big part of the pleasure of our vacation was staying at ALL STAR. Now we can come home and tackle my husband's schooling with more vigor. And who would have known that we would want to come back just to stay at ALL STAR and see the other attractions of Orlando we didn't have time for on the first visit! Thank you ALL STAR for your wonderful service, beautiful home and excellent value!" |
Our 2008 ALL STAR Story Winners! "My parents celebrated their 40th anniversary by taking the family to Orlando for the week. The seven of us had a wonderful trip. The logistics of renting the All Star Vacation Home for our group was perfect. It began with renting the full-size SUV which fit all of us (& our belongings) comfortably. Having just one vehicle made it easier for us to all stay together. The rental home was phenomenal. The home was a 2-story with 5 bedrooms giving everyone their own space. The in-ground heated pool was a relaxing refuge at the end of each day. The game room also provided entertainment for the kids (both young and old). Our week included visits to the Magic Kingdom, Disney Hollywood Studio, EPCOT, the Magic Kingdom (again), and Sea World. Each morning we would get up to be at the park for opening. It was so nice having 4 bathrooms to get ready. After spending the day at the amusement park, we would phone one of the many nearby restaurants to order food for pickup on our way home. This was ideal as none of us wanted to cook or deal with a crowded restaurant after a busy day. We would eat dinner outside by the pool and unwind. With 2 young children, it was nice being able to put them to bed in their own room. We couldn't imagine being at a hotel and having to turn out the lights so they could fall asleep. The large family room also provided a place for the adults to visit after the kids went to bed. It was the first trip to Disney for my 2 daughters (ages 3 & 5). Their favorite memory of the trip varies between seeing Ariel, riding the teacups, the Princess Breakfast, visiting Sea World, or swimming in the pool. After returning home to Illinois, my 3 year old keeps asking when we will go back to our other house (referring to our rental house)." - G. Yuccas, Naperville, Illinois
After driving over a thousand miles with nine kids, the last thing all 13 of us wanted to do was cram ourselves into 3 or 4 hotel rooms. We've done Disney with family groups as large as 21 and done everything from multiple rooms on property to timeshares. But nothing compared to the value and comfort we got from having our own house from ALL STAR Vacation home. The pool and hot tub were the biggest hits with the kids. Several days we just cooked up snacks and then set out a "buffet" for them to graze on while they swam. At night, the littlest ones could go to bed, while the older ones played games and the adults could watch a movie or have some hot tub time to themselves. Even Santa found our stockings hung on the entertainment center and left presents under our decorated ficus tree! Still today, the kids say that when we go back to Disney, that they only want to go if we rent that house again!"
- The Green Family From Texas
I started looking for nearby homes to rent for 9 people and the most beautiful and accommodating one I found was through ALL STAR Vacation Homes. The site is user-friendly as well as the staff I spoke to on the phone. The kids loved the pool and swam every night in it after a day at Disney. What a relaxing, enjoyable vacation! Although, I think I've earned the job of planning all family vacations! Thanks for making it so easy."

The fact that we didn't have to spend money on eating out because we had everything we needed in the house was great. I can honestly say I had more fun in the house and pool than in the Disney Park. Thanks All Star for such a wonderful experience.

Michael and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your help and support as we planned our wedding. All of our family was coming from out of town and you managed to help us find several homes to fit all 45 family members and close friends that were making the trip from all over the United States to our wedding here in Orlando. Your homes are warm and welcoming, as well as spacious. Due to so many friends and family coming to our wedding that we don't get to see often, we wanted to have a family BBQ style dinner Friday night before the wedding. The house my parents rented was a perfect layout, open and spacious for all 60 people that came to the BBQ dinner Friday night. It was perfect! The house was also perfect in that it allowed our families to relax and enjoy getting ready for the wedding Saturday night. It might not have been my parent's home, but it sure did have a lot of love in it and it will always have a special place in my heart. The boys enjoyed spending Saturday morning swimming in the pool and had fun with our photographer on the playground. Our families still speak about their "wonderful Florida week"! It was the first time that anyone in mine or Michael's family had used a vacation home, and I'm pretty sure that after our wonderful week, filled with happy memories it will not be the last time! Thank you for sharing in one of our family's special moments in time. You are a truly wonderful company and I will be recommending you to anyone that asks about places to stay in the Orlando area! Thank you for all you did!

"We loved it! It was our first trip to Disney, and we were worried having three young children (6, 4 and 13 months) that a 7 day vacation in Orlando wouldn't be relaxing. We were wrong!
The condo with our own pool was perfect for us! The kids could sleep in their own rooms after a busy day at the parks and we could relax ourselves in the evening by our own pool. We saved a lot of money by not doing the Disney hotel, especially since we ended up not eating out once. It was just easier to cook in the fully equipped kitchen or have food delivered than to drag tired children to a busy restaurant. The club pool was huge and never busy. The kids also liked the playground and just walking around the neighborhood with us (it felt very safe and home-like). We were a short drive to Disney, an hour from Cocoa Beach and close to everything else we needed. The condo was a relaxing place to come home to. Our kids called it home all week and still ask if we can go to our "other home with the pool". I don't think we'll ever stay in a hotel again for vacation. I would highly recommend All Star to anyone!" - G. Wilker, New Bremen, Ohio
We are a family of six, and that meant paying for two hotel rooms, or a suite. We were traveling on a budget due to the fact that the children were paying for it with paper route money!! I was able to locate All Star Vacation Homes on the internet, and the more I researched, the more impressed I became! My initial impressions were completely accurate...our experience with All Star has been wonderful. Our vacation condo was beautifully decorated and in "top notch" condition when we arrived. Everything was just as it was featured on the web site...what a wonderful blessing! Everything went very smoothly for check-in...we arrived in the middle of the night, but had absolutely no problems finding the All Star office or our condo! Another blessing considering we had been traveling for nearly sixteen hours from the West Coast of Canada with four children in tow. Your service is THE BEST!! - C. Jones, British Columbia, Canada
be a yearly tradition!" |
"We had 6 kids and 6 adults and we all had a blast. It was so nice having fun at WDW all day, then heading HOME! At least it felt like home. I had myself, my wife, my son, my sister and her twins, my mom, my brother, his wife and two kids and we also brought my sister-in-law�s niece! The kids were never bored with the media room, pool table. We even had our own life size arcade game. The heated pool came in VERY handy. It kept the kids up for anything. They didn't mind if we decided to leave a park early because they knew we could go home and swim.
"We have told several friends and family about it and even had a group of 12 stay on our same street with overlapping dates so we could hang out. The biggest decision was picking whose house was better!! "All the homes are decorated perfectly and the ammenities are pretty much the same. What a great deal. We will never stay on property again! Thanks ALL STAR!" - B. Pilkington, Sr., Charlotte, NC
We stayed at Windsor Hills from March 5 - March 19, 2007: first staying at a resort home, then moving to a condo unit on March 12 when most of our party left for home. I am a Disney Resort "veteran", having stayed in Disney Resorts since there were only three. I have stayed at the Golf Resort, Polynesian, Contemporary, Grand Floridian and Old Key West Resort. We decided to try a vacation home because we were traveling in a large group, and liked the idea of saving some money. Everything about the home (and condo) and the resort exceeded our expectations. It was extremely close to the parks, with only a short ride to get there. What made it special was the "exhale" we could do at the end of the day, upon returning to our home. Instead of being cramped up in a hotel-style room, everyone had their own place to relax. The kids could swim and the adults to soak their sore muscles in the hot tub. |
I will highly recommend All Star Vacation Homes to all my friends and family planning a trip to Disney World. Great job All Star; we can't wait to go back!

The Chopak Family's Orlando Vacations with ALL STAR!
We planned a trip to Florida for my daughter's Sweet 16 in August 2006 and were taking 3 of her friends. When we checked out the website we realized how perfect renting a vacation home would be. We were a group of 9 and we chose a wonderful home that accommodated all of us. When we first arrived at the home and opened the front door, everybody ran in different directions, exploring every nook, and making room selections. Of course, the birthday girl got to choose her room first. Once we settled in, we all hit the pool. It was a huge highlight. We also enjoyed being able to eat breakfast at home before we left for the parks and we even barbequed one night. It was one of the best nights of the week. We were all quite sad when the week came to an end. I do have to say though, my daughter had a very special Sweet 16 "Birthday Week" thanks to All Star. We never would have been able to do it if we had to stay at a hotel. We loved that trip so much that once we arrived home we started talking about when our return would be. My son, who was seven at the time, asked if we could celebrate his birthday in Florida too. We were skeptical at first but decided to take the plunge and go back for a quick five day visit in May 2007. We rented the same house because we loved it so much, and we invited my brother and his family to join us. For this trip there were 11 of us, 6 adults and 5 kids. I can't tell you what a joy it was to return to "our house". It felt like we were home. My brother and his family loved it just as much as we do. They couldn't believe how beautiful it was. Again, the pool was a huge hit, and the boys especially liked the game room and played many games of air hockey. |
Upon our return, of course we were raving and all of our relatives heard
about what a great time we had during both trips. Many of them were
intrigued by the home rental. My brother-in-law mentioned that they
were thinking of going to Orlando in the summer of 2008. Of course a
big discussion took place and all of us (15 this time) decided to go.
The outcome: we've booked a bigger house for August 2008 for 11 days.
There will be four families in total, 9 adults and 6 children. The
house we booked has 7 bedrooms and a giant pool off a small stream. My
own family is excited to be staying at a different house this time,
although we will pass by "our house" during our stay for old times sake.
I can say that we are now officially hooked on All Star Vacation Homes! We just love everything about them. The furnishings, the room sizes, the cleanliness, the personal pools, and the proximity to all the parks and restaurants make for a great vacation. Your staff is wonderful and very helpful from the first initial call to check-out. They're always very accommodating and extremely friendly. I love the whole package and will return with my family again and again, and probably bring more family members on future trips. - The Chopak Family, Brooklyn, NY
A special family vacation for the Perez Family!
All of us, a family of 9 arrived at our All Star Home on September 12, 2007. It was a once in a life time vacation. My Nana saved up money for years so we could go to Orlando. We know this will probably never happen again. We enjoyed the pool, hot tub, rooms and game room. All of us went in the pool all day, everyday after the parks. I enjoyed my room, I'm the oldest granddaughter. I had my own room for a whole week it was awesome! We are not that rich and not that poor but can only afford just one family vacation. The All Star Home was awesome it was beautiful. Before we exited the house on the last day September 19th we all said goodbye to this once in a life time house. I'm the pre-teen granddaughter and nobody knows I entered this contest. I'm trying to win this contest because this is the only time in our life that we had a family vacation. It would be amazing to enjoy another one. Thank you All Star Vacation Homes. Thanks for this awesome family vacation. If you are wondering in the pictures which one is me I'm in the first picture of me laying on my bed! Thank you again! - The Perez Family, Philadephia, PA
Plan your Team Event in an ALL STAR Vacation Home!
This month we are featuring "The Family Team", a Detroit, Michigan, Boys' Basketball team whose members stayed in an ALL STAR vacation home during the AAU 9U National Championship at Disney's Wide World of Sports. According to Coach Jay Bressler, "We finished in 8th place. Losing to the team that won it all. The kids had a blast! Especially enjoying 'THE FUN SPOT' I can't wait to go back!" - The Family Team Basketball Team, Detroit, Michigan
Family Fun with ALL STAR Vacation Homes!
We would like to let you know that we enjoyed our week stay with you. All of your staff were very professional (Pablo, Karen, Hugh) and friendly. This also includes your privacy gate staff. My wife said she felt very comfortable and safe here and I agree. Saftey is a big ticket item for me and my family. We had all the comforts of home. My 6 year son asked on our 4th day there "Daddy what day is this?", I knew that we would be back. My special needs child enjoyed everything as well. We started looking at the Estate homes before we left to help with planning our wedding vows renewal/family reunion next year here. No more hotels for us when in Orlando. Keep up the good work and know that the blessing of the Lord is on your business. SEE YOU in 2008! - The Graham Family, Columbia, SC
Plan your Family Reunion in an ALL STAR Vacation Home! It was perfect! My parents are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. The one thing they wanted to do was have all the family come together in one place. Thanks to you, we were able to have four families (9 adults and 7 children) comfortably and happily together. It couldn't have been more perfect. The house was lovely, and the kids (big and little) loved the pool and game room. Thank you for making a special event ultra-special. - The Mohler Family from Florida
Create Magical Memories with your Family!
We have stayed in your vacation homes twice with our entire family - once in 2004 and again in 2006. We do this close to Christmas as our Christmas gifts to our children and grandchildren. Both visits were incredible and we will be planning another one in 2008. Every year we add MORE people - with our children having children - it adds to our numbers. The grown-ups love it as much as the little ones. We have 10 adults and 3 grandbabies so far. Living under one roof is the best experience since the kids have moved out of our home and begun their own lives and families - when we are all together in one home it makes for 'magical' memories. To be able to get up in the morning, have a light breakfast at our 'home', head out to the parks, and come 'home' again in time for dinner, or to just to crash in our OWN rooms, relax in the hot tub, watch TV in the comfort of the FAMILY room, makes for the best vacation EVER! Keeping our own hours in our own pool and hot tub, everyone having their own bedroom AND bathroom helped to make our vacations perfect. So rather than buying material things for Christmas gifts - we create MEMORIES that will last a lifetime for our children and grandchildren. |
Another reason I am writing is that because of our
trips and the high recommendations we have given All Star Vacation Homes
- this year our dear friends and their entire families have rented 2 of
your vacation homes for their family vacation this coming December.
They were able to rent side-by-side 6-bedroom homes for their families.
I helped with all their planning - showed them your website - all of our
pictures taken during both of our two pre-Christmas trips, and convinced
them that this was the ONLY way to take a trip!!!
So please know that we are your #1 fans and continue to look forward to many more wonderful times in your vacation homes! Thanks for making it so easy and so economical to vacation. - The McKee Family, Chicago, IL
Enjoy the Magic of Orlando, Florida with your Family!
With myself, my husband, my mom and our three kids, we knew a hotel was out of the question. All Star really provided a great value on a beautiful home. Windsor Palms was beautiful and it was so convenient to everything. The kids loved having their own rooms and my mother loved having her own bathroom. We had to drag my 10 year old son out of the pool most days to get him to go to the parks! We hit all the parks including Sea World and Universal. I think the kids liked Epcot and Animal Kingdom the most! I really enjoyed Epcot. What a nice treat to have a hot tub to soak in when you came home at night after being on your feet for hours. We would absolutely come back! - The Woodbury Family, Worcester, MA
My daughter and I stayed in our All Star Vacation home for a business
trip lasting a few days two years ago and had such a terrific experience
that she made me promise to return as soon as we could. When we booked
our family vacation (the first in 6 years) she wanted the exact same
home that we had stayed in the first time. My husband and I and my 12
year old daughter and my 15 year old niece couldn't have had a better
experiece. My sister in law and her son (that were staying in Tampa in a
hotel) came to visit for a day and were speechless at the amenities in
our home. She had to make the same solemn promise to her son to return
to that same house as soon as she can. My niece made my sister promise
to do the same. I'm just happy that I can recommend such a fabulous
place to stay. We'll be back--my husband made me promise!! Thanks All
- The Scullion Family, Riegelsville, PA
Our family decided to make the Disney Trip so that our brother who has
downs syndrome could see Disney World (something he has always asked
for his birthday). He had never traveled before so we decided to do
it. With all his brothers and sisters and some nieces and nephews, 19
of us made the trip and booked two houses side by side. We loved every
bit of it.
We walked the parks by day and came "home" and played in the pool all night. We were able to save money by cooking most of our meals and took turns going to the "neighbor's" next door back and forth for supper and breakfast each day. The trip we wanted to make special for him turned out to be special for all of us. It brought us closer together as a family. You thought of everything we might have needed and we truly felt at home! - The Fitzthum Family, Port Clinton, OH
Recently, a young girl named Hannah Bossner and her family came to vacation in Orlando and stayed with us in the Windsor Hills resort community. Hannah had such a wonderful time she wrote us a poem about her trip. In the spirit of the magical holiday season, we would like to share this poem with you. "My Trip" by Hannah Bossner, Age 11 |
My grandparents told me They were taking me on a plane Across a bunch of states Now let me explain:
For their anniversary I was going to Florida.
I could not believe it
When we got inside our house
We kids were so excited
We just loved the club house and arcade |
The parks were so much fun We liked Star Wars, Soarin' and Test Track, when we saw the weather on TV for Michigan we didn't want to go back!
After Magic Kingdom
When it was time to leave
It was hard to leave
Then we left hot Florida |
Enjoy the Magic of Disney World on your Orlando, Florida Vacation!
We wanted to bring the kids to Disney but worried about how our 2 year old would take his naps in a hotel room. All Star Vacation Homes was the answer. We rented a 3 bedroom townhouse and was able to bring my mom and step father too. All Star provided us with an adorable crib with baby Mickey and Minnie sheets and also a really nice high chair. Windsor Hills is a perfect location! Literally 3-5 minutes from each Disney park. Being able to do laundry before we left meant that I didn't have to worry about it when we got home! The staff was fantastic! They gave me great directions to Disney and what ever store we needed to go to. I highly recommend All Star Vacation Homes! 100 times better than a hotel!! - The DiNitto Family, Marcy, NY
Spend time with your family at Discovery Cove!
We enjoyed our first stay in this townhome so much that our second visit was for 2 weeks! Windsor Palms is a beautiful and well kept community and this unit was very clean, beautiful and spacious. We'll never stay in a cramped hotel room again as there was plenty of room to spread out and relax after a busy day. My husband and I traveled with our 2 children and grammy and pop. It was great to have a bathroom with each bedroom and also the laundry facilities cut down on packing. The small pool was great for the kids when the grown ups were too tired to go the community pool. We're now planning another trip with my sister and her family. I have complete confidence in All Star and will probably be looking for a 4-5 bedroom house this time. - The Niemiec Family, Scranton, PA
After not seeing my sister, who lives in Tampa, Florida, for five years we decided to have our first family vacation together at ALL STAR Vacation Homes - the experience was priceless! Having my sister and brother-in-law stay with my wife and kids, my other sister and her husband and their kids, and my mother and mother-in-law stay all under the same roof brought back childhood memories. We played together, prayed together, ate together and woke up together - this made us much more closer. Again I can't stop recommending it to my friends. Thank you again ALL STAR for making us feel like a family again!
- The Vazquez Family, New York, NY
Just look at the joy on our children's faces! THIS IS WHAT A VACATION AT WALT DISNEY WORLD IS ALL ABOUT!! I knew the only way I was going to take our kids to Disney was if we stayed in a rental home. But, I had my doubts that I would find a property that would meet my expectations. I tend to be pretty "high maintenance" (I was a Corporate Event Planner who only held events at "4 & 5 Star" Hotel/Resort properties before becoming a stay at home mom). I am used to high standards and impecable service. I wanted it all for this vacation - a CLEAN, beautiful home away from home - NOT an overpriced, grungy, over-utilized & undersized hotel room. Again, I had my doubts..."how would we ever afford it?" Then I had an idea..."I know!! Let's invite the grandparents (both sets) & we'll split the cost!!" We were absolutely awe-struck when we saw the fabulous amenities that our home had - the kids were bubbling over with joy at their own private pool & the youngest's Mickey Mouse bedroom! Each set of grandparents had their own Master Bed & Bathroom and my husband & I had our own room as well. Our kids have LOTS of energy so having a private pool for them to blow off steam in was a MUST. Also, we rented a box of toys which was WONDERFUL so I didn't have to pack them! I even rented baby monitors & a crib bumper!! Everything was so clean and meticulously maintained - even to my standards. It was HEAVEN to put the kids to bed around 8 or 9 pm & then relax with a glass of wine in the hot tub! We also saved an incredible amount of money on meals and lodging and had all the room in the world to spread out! We would absolutely rent from your company again and again and again! And we plan to! Thank you for helping us create some of the best family memories we'll ever have! -The Simon Family, Lancaster, PA
When my family and I sold our vacation home we were undecided what to do
with seven children who were used to spending their summers at the
shore. We found All Star Vacation Homes on line and thought it a
wonderful adventure to try. After much research, we found the perfect
home for us. This beautiful six bedroom home enabled us to spend the
summer together as we always did but with many more advantages. Our
children loved the private pool and game room in our home. We all loved
the close proximity to Disney World and Universal Studios. We loved
everything so much, we can't wait to return this summer for an
additional four weeks. Thanks for creating magical memories for the
Centrella and Scirrotto families All Star!!!
-The Centrella & Scirrotto Family, Philadelphia, PA
This is a great Value and a beautiful home! We traveled to Disney World
for a family vacation and enjoyed every moment. The pictures of the
house were exactly what we found -- It was great to have a home cooked
meal every once in a while! We have 5 in our family and the 3 bedrooms
were perfect for me and my wife to still have our own room! We often
have to get 2 hotel rooms so this was a much better deal. 7 days was
just enough time but there is plenty to do if you stay longer. Thank You
All Star Vacation Homes --class act!

Graboid Spyware
January 4, 2010 by TMO · Leave a Comment
Be careful with Graboid. If you google "Graboid spyware" you will see false reports that Graboid does not try to install any spyware, however if you have Spyware Doctor installed (free from google) it will catch a "high risk" item that appears right after Graboid has finished installing.
As of this writing that seems to be enough to block all malware from Graboid—there does not appear to be other malware packaged with it, however no guarantees for the future.
Other than the issue of malware, it appears that Graboid has improved a lot since earlier versions.

Each Johnny's variety has a sweet taste, smooth skin, and a tender, highly-colored interior, as well as healthy and flavorful "greens." Since beets with their tops don't ship well, this gives farmers or gardeners something they can't get in the store.

MLB.tv has it's own issues. It works fine on a laptop, but on Roku and Panasonic tv's they kinda suck. Takes too much effort and time to switch between games and does not have the same FF, Rew, etc., as on the laptop. And I have no problem with Netflix or any other streaming except for MLB.tv. It buffers all the time, irritating!
I'm going back to MLBEI next year!
I've had both for years.
Depending on Needs and Lifestyle, viewing habits usually determines which suits the particular customers best.
If the Main Concern is watching on a Large Screen at home EI is vastly superior
What, I hope for when the next contracts are negotiated is that there will be an option that one price will allow you to access both like the NBA does.

Rated 5 out of 5�by cocoscho Love 77% Nylon Dangerous Pants
I love the Bebe Dangerous pants in 77% nylon. First of all, they have a more satiny finish which allows my dogs' cream colored hair to easily wipe off. The Bebe pants with higher nylon content act like velcro for dog hair meaning that I have to put them through the drier, shortening their lifetime. I only purchase the 77% nylon anymore. I have these pants in grey cheetah and a rouched design in plum stripe. These pants are the perfect length for my 33" inseam. My two other pair came in about .5-1" too long. Another benefit is how stretchy the 77% nylon fabric is. I am pregnant and I think that these pants will allow for a considerable amount of growth and then still fit me when I slim back down (I am determined!). I purchased medium.

These look and feel very good. Nice and long, fit beautifully.

Programs and Services
Information Technology sets the standard of excellence for municipal governments by seeking state-of-the-art information services to improve the quality of our organizational processes, and to enhance information services to our communities. Below are the core areas that the IT department is focusing on:
Public Safety - Public safety, which incorporates emergency management, is a cornerstone to the City's image. With City residents numbering approximately 35,000 and the number of daytime visitors estimated at 150,000, public safety is a top priority. The IT Department is undertaking specific projects such as a telephone notification system, Automated Vehicle License Plate Reading and Closed Circuit Television to strengthen the City's positive public safety record and image. A newly upgraded Computer Aided Dispatch and Records Management System will aid the City in maintaining response times that our residents rely on and that are the envy of cities around the world. Our new Emergency Operations Center unites all public safety personnel to manage quickly and accurately, a large-scale crisis with the proper coordinated response.
Citywide Broadband and Wi-Fi - The City is in the midst of expanding its broadband network. To date, the City has invested nearly $4 million on broadband. The City's operations, residents, business community and visitors alike have greatly benefited from this expansion. There are now over a dozen free public Wi-Fi locations throughout the City covering many of our parks and public areas. The IT Department is working to expand coverage as well as utilize the existing broadband network to install or upgrade other public services.
E-Government - The City has already invested heavily on its internet site to meet its goal of world-class customer service. The elevation of customer service is fully embodied in the eGov initiative. Under the eGov initiative, the City developed a comprehensive plan that lays out the prioritized initiatives that will deliver the strongest ability to achieve 'world class' service. A newly revamped website and introduction of mobile apps shows our concerted effort to make information easy to find and presented in a clear, concise and useful way.
New Finance and Enterprise Resource Planning System - The City is in the process of overhauling its finance and enterprise resource planning systems to meet the current and future demands of many City departments. It will be a more integrated, standardized and robust finance and planning system that streamlines our processes and improves our service response times.

Calls of the wild online activity
Help researchers and have fun with this online audio experiment.
Calls of the wild gives anyone and everyone an opportunity to take part in important scientific research at home, school or even on the move on their mobile. This fun online activity takes 5-10 minutes and is a great way to get involved with real science.
Calls of the wild was first run for National Science & Engineering Week 2013. Working with researchers at the University of Surrey and the University of Salford, the study aimed to gain a deeper understanding into the emotions evoked by certain natural sounds.
The preliminary results of the Calls of the wild experiment show songs of certain birds may aid recovery after stress; the study has also shown our response to sounds is affected by meaning- the preliminary results can be collected below.
We are still collecting data so it is not too late to take part on the Calls of the wild experiment site.

Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
Would be happy with either Bird or NCN. Just not John Hastings, **** me.

john hastings is still injured from swinging so frickin hard at the crease iirc

unlike skidmark00, warner, like me, is a sixers boy, born and raised.
Watson the likely candidate to lead Australia for the boxing day Test.
Haddin, Quiney, Khawaja and Doolan to be the possible replacement batsmen.
surely will be haddin. combination of him proving to be still up for trying, wade making mistakes behind the pegs (wade to keep the gloves obv) and the need of someone with captaincy experience and half a brain in the side
Yeah the gap of Ponting (lol) really gives Haddin an edge here. (Quiney Can Lead???) although i repeat my preference for Wade to be shifted from the gloves
oooh what about bailey #specialistcaptain

The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed Americaby Erik Larson
Staff Pick An amazing history that recounts the inconceivable events surrounding the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, Larson's tale captures a time and place that vividly come to life. The central characters in this tale are Daniel H. Burnham, the architect responsible for the construction of the fair, and H. H. Holmes, a serial killer who used the popularity of the fair for his own nefarious ends. Burnham's work at overcoming the insurmountable obstacles before completing this awe inspiring project is interwoven with chapters relating to the maniacal Holmes, whose person will keep you both captivated and haunted. Breathtakingly written, this almost unbelievable history reads like the work of a highly inventive novelist. "I was mesmerized by this book. It was a deliciously creepy read, made more creepy for being true. Several times in the course of reading it, I had to keep reminding myself that the events really happened." Review-A-Day
"You've got to respect a book that makes you keep flipping to the back cover, double-checking that it is nonfiction. Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City seems like something from the mind of, say, Thomas Harris. But it is, in fact, true. A gruesome and gripping book.... Synopses & ReviewsFrom Powells.com:"In Chicago at the end of the nineteenth century amid the smoke of industry and the clatter of trains there lived two men, both handsome, both blue-eyed, and both unusually adept at their chosen skills." So begins The Devil in the White City. And there ends all similarity between those two men. Daniel Burnham, architect of some of America's most famous structures — the Flatiron Building in New York City and Union Station in Washington, D.C., to name two — would, as director of works for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition, organize a six-month fair on the shore of Lake Michigan that attracted 27.5 million visitors during one of the worst depressions in American history. Dr. H. H. Holmes, born Herman Webster Mudgett, a physician and hotelier, was meanwhile living and working in Englewood, only a short "L" ride from the fairgrounds at Jackson Park. Although no one would know it until long after Burnham's fair closed its gates, during the great event Holmes was nearby developing his enterprise as America's first urban serial killer. "You've got to respect a book that makes you keep flipping to the back cover, double-checking that it is nonfiction," Adrienne Miller admitted in Esquire. "[T]he heart of the story is so good, you find yourself asking how you could not know this already." Dave, Powells.com
Publisher Comments:Two men, each handsome and unusually adept at his chosen work, embodied an element of the great dynamic that characterized Americas rush toward the twentieth century. The architect was Daniel Hudson Burnham, the fairs brilliant director of works and the builder of many of the countrys most important structures, including the Flatiron Building in New York and Union Station in Washington, D.C. The murderer was Henry H. Holmes, a young doctor who, in a malign parody of the White City, built his "Worlds Fair Hotel" just west of the fairgrounds—a torture palace complete with dissection table, gas chamber, and 3,000-degree crematorium. Burnham overcame tremendous obstacles and tragedies as he organized the talents of Frederick Law Olmsted, Charles McKim, Louis Sullivan, and others to transform swampy Jackson Park into the White City, while Holmes used the attraction of the great fair and his own satanic charms to lure scores of young women to their deaths. What makes the story all the more chilling is that Holmes really lived, walking the grounds of that dream city by the lake.
The Devil in the White City draws the reader into a time of magic and majesty, made all the more appealing by a supporting cast of real-life characters, including Buffalo Bill, Theodore Dreiser, Susan B. Anthony, Thomas Edison, Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and others. In this book the smoke, romance, and mystery of the Gilded Age come alive as never before. Erik Larsons gifts as a storyteller are magnificently displayed in this rich narrative of the master builder, the killer, and the great fair that obsessed them both. To find out more about this book, go to http://www.DevilInTheWhiteCity.com. Review:"Engrossing...exceedingly well documented...utterly fascinating." Chicago Tribune
Review:"Another successful exploration of American history....Larson skillfully balances the grisly details with the far-reaching implications of the World's Fair." USA Today
Review:"Vivid history of the glittering Chicago World?s Fair and its dark side." New York Magazine
Synopsis:Includes bibliographical references (p. [423]-429) and index.
Synopsis:In a thrilling narrative showcasing his gifts as storyteller and researcher, Erik Larson recounts the spellbinding tale of the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
The White City — as it became known — was a magical creation constructed upon Chicago's swampy Jackson Park by Daniel H. Burnham, the famed architect who coordinated the talents of Frederick Olmsted, Louis Sullivan, and others to build it. Dr. Henry H. Holmes combined the fair's appeal with his own fatal charms to lure scores of women to their deaths. Whereas the fair marked the birth of a new epoch in American history, Holmes marked the emergence of a new American archetype, the serial killer, who thrived on the very forces then transforming the country. In deft prose, Larson conveys Burnham's herculean challenge to build the White City in less than 18 months. At the same time, he describes how, in a malign parody of the achievements of the fair's builders, Holmes built his own World's Fair Hotel — a torture palace complete with a gas chamber and crematorium. Throughout the book, tension mounts on two fronts: Will Burnham complete the White City before the millions of visitors arrive at its gates? Will anyone stop Holmes as he ensnares his victims? A nonfiction blend of Ragtime and Silence of the Lambs, The Devil in the White City is Erik Larson at his best. About the AuthorErik Larson lives in Seattle with his wife, three daughters, a Chinese fighting fish, a dwarf hamster, and a golden retriever named Molly.

Along with Cezanne, Van Gogh and Gauguin, French painter, draftsman, printmaker and illustrator Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec is one among the giants of the Post-Impressionist Period. His fascination with the colorful and theatrical life in Paris in the 1800s motivated him to capture in his art the bohemian lifestyle prevalent at that time particularly in Montmartre. This immersion led him to be a habitue of drinking bars, himself becoming an alcoholic addicted to American cocktail drinks. This set of experimental triples features Lautrec's art textured with neon bar signs and street scenes. What appeared to be Actionsampler-like layer is not at all taken with an Actionsampler but a Pop9. That mystery will be a tipster-in-the-making. Enjoy the tipsy character of these shots. Remember, drink moderately. Cheers!
