http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot18s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot18l.jpg)When we talk foreign horror, the people who usually come up in conversation are directors. Fulci, Argento, de Ossorio, the Pangs, etc. Actors rarely get mention, despite their sometimes prolific tenures as leads in horror by the dozen. The one exception, though, is the Spanish icon, Paul Naschy. He brought a vintage versatility and showmanship to his performance that always inspired comparisons with Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff. He was a classical actor who just happened to be coming of age in the grindhouse era of cinema, so his grandiose acting was always revolutionary amidst the common splatter. He worked A LOT. Like Christopher Lee A LOT. While no box set could possibly do justice to his range and oeuvre, BCI has certainly tried with their Paul Naschy Collection box set. Included are five films from every horror sub-genre imaginable, from zombies to gialli. Is this a selection we should remember Naschy for, and more importantly, are these the transfers we should be remembering with?
The Story
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot73s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot73l.jpg)
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot74s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot74l.jpg)http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot70s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot70l.jpg)
Vengeance of the Zombies begins with a couple grave robbers getting their comeuppance from the graves themselves. Yes, a masked man has employed voodoo to bring the dead back to life in order to fulfill his dirty deeds. There's going to be a lot more vengeance for him too, since Krisna (Paul Naschy), a séance guru, has decided to relocate from London to the same countryside where the masked man was lynched by visitors because of his powers in black magic. Like Freddy though, Kantaka (also Naschy) is back to make sure the progeny of his murderers continue to bathe in blood.
With Naschy in the two lead roles, and another one off as the devil, this is the perfect showcase for his versatility and his tenacity for performing behind the veils of make-up. On the one hand he is magnetic and suave as Krisna, while on the other he is almost unrecognizable behind a burned face. This duality is the perfect metaphor for the battles Naschy faced in his own career, teetering between the sex symbol idolatry of being a leading man, or the professional anonymity that comes with being a character actor. Naschy wanted it both ways, and he grossly succeeds here. The film as a whole, too, is worthy of study, since its horror is of a different tonality than that commonly found in the genre. Rather than the guilt that fuses most western contributions to the genre, there's an almost glorification of murder here. Captured in slow motion and with a feverous jazz soundtrack, it's a virtual celebration of the fragility of death.

Horror Rises from the Tomb turns its sights this time to witchcraft. As a witch and warlock are tried for heresy, the Alaric de Marnac (Naschy) vows his return should he and his partner be murdered. The villagers don't listen, and sure enough years later the murders begin once more from beyond the tomb. Apparently Naschy's head has been living ever since it was purged from his body, and when a couple believers place his head with his torso, he comes alive once more, along with his bride of the black arts. Without much reason, they vow simply to kill anyone in their paths, usually first by seduction and then by ripping their beating heart out of their chest. Little do they know, though, that a few sharp pieces of silver are just waiting to be pricked into their body to end their reign of terror for good.
It's slow going in this, by most accounts, rudimentary clone of Hammer's Dracula franchise, with voluptuous women stuck in a laborious period setting. Christopher Lee never played dual roles in his Draculas, though, and it is fun to see Naschy once again toying with his image. On the one hand he's a nerdy, turtle-neck wearing sissy, and on the other a bearded lothario, with a stare that could kill Stevie Wonder. This time, though, he's almost one upped in the second half of the film with a seemingly never-ending display of traditional special effects. Beheadings coming to life, witches disappearing, and bodies rotting on the spot are just some of the visual showcases the crew takes joy in bringing to crude life. It isn't believable for a second, but there's a sort of old silent movie-like joy in the illusion of death. Think the Melies brothers, but with blood. Still, you've got to have a lot of patience to make it to the half-way mark.

Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll, as its title suggests, is manufactured in the mold of Argentos gialli. Rather than sticking to the decay of the big city though, Naschy makes a point of starting out on the road, hitchhiking in the open Spanish countryside, looking for work. He gets hired in the garden of a rich mansion in the country. Inside it are three very dysfunctional sisters one a paraplegic, one a burn victim and the other spiteful. Sexual tensions rise in the household, but tensions rise throughout the county when people start turning out dead. It seems the killer is after their eyes, and it could be anyone. Is it Naschy with his proletariat sensibilities, one of the jealous girls, the police chief, the psychiatrist or somebody else out of left field? They better find out quick, before everyone gets the Blues.
Well, Argento it aint. Thats not necessarily a bad thing, though. Its shot like a soap opera, with high key lighting, comfortable framing and simple moves. It plays like one too, though, with each of the sisters continually competing for the love of Naschys chi. Couple that with the big band soundtrack that totally lightens even the most horrific of death scenes with its brass, and youve got a distinctive take on giallo. Its drama like only the Spaniards can do it, and with plastic hands, severed eyes and murderous nightmares, theres a fair bit of perversity thrown into the mix as well. Naschys your straight arrow this time around, but his role in the finale definitely goes against expectations. Certainly not the best in the genre, but the tone definitely sets it apart.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot61s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot61l.jpg)

Exorcism sees Naschy take on the devil. A womans young daughter is possessed by a satanic spirit. At first she thinks its a mental disorder, but even with psychiatric help, many people start to turn up dead around her. Eventually though, she starts showing facial aberrations and talking in a voice much deeper than her own. The devil is inside her, and only the power of a priest (Naschy) can save her. Sounds like The Exorcist? Yeah, but this one also factors in hippie cults, catastrophic car accidents, nude orgies and a bearded Paul Naschy.
Like Beyond the Door, Exorcism covers very similar ground to The Exorcist, but like that Italian production, its ethnicity is what sets it apart. Theres Spanish countryside abound, and much of the cult mysticism harks back to the Blind Dead mythology. More interesting, though, is the way the Spaniards handle the effects, shying away from the high gloss class of Hollywood or the tech-heavy opticals of Italy. Instead, they use primitive, but undeniably effective make-up techniques to make a truly horrific incarnation of the devil. Theres an organic sloppiness to the whole setup that makes this possession a horror all its own. The crusted contact lenses, particularly, are downright nasty. Grounding the film in all that Manson-cult pretext also helps give it a relevance here in North America that it might not possess (heh) abroad. Compared to the previous films Naschy struggles to stand out from the foliage, and it certainly takes awhile for the devil to finally manifest. Still though, like Horror Rises from the Tomb, if youre patient its more than worth the wait.
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot6s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot6l.jpg)
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot35s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot35l.jpg)http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot4s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot4l.jpg)
Naschys back in Human Beasts. A little larger, a little less hair, but back nonetheless. Hes hired by his lover and associate, Mieko, to kill off a few shady businessmen, but when more bodies drop than expected, he becomes the hunted. Mieko seeks revenge, and when Naschy is injured and lost in the woods, it seems that may be just what she gets. At the last minute, though, he is rescued by a kind family with a pig farm, gorgeous daughters and a sexy black slave. Everything seems too perfect they give him pills, bandage his wounds, feed him well and even sex him up any chance they get. Mieko is hot on his trail, but the true cause for concern is what kind of meet hes been eating.
After a string of disappointments to close off the seventies, Paul Naschy found himself coupling with Japanese investors to get his brand of films made. This was the first, with The Beast and the Magic Sword to follow shortly thereafter. This explains the forced first act with a Japanese mafia and love interest. Once Naschy is grounded in bed, though, this goes down similar Naschy territory. Compared to the others, though, this one has a wild sense of A.D.D., always jumping from one weird plot to the other. This one is all over the map, and whether its being incredibly racist (whether its whipping the black slave, her liking it, or her referring to herself as Watermelon) or trying to infuse some class commentary in the intercutting of pigs feeding in the stable and the rich munching down at dinner, its always a curiosity. Easily the worst of the bunch, but if ever there was a document to prove the worth of political correctness, this is probably it.
Image Quality
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot2s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot2l.jpg)Exorcism, Vengeance of the Zombies and Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll are all 1.33:1, while Human Beasts and Horror Rises from the Tomb are 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen. Apart from that, theres little difference in these transfers theyre all fantastic! All of them digitally remastered, these transfers look amazing considering their age, budget and distance from the usual Hollywood preservation core. BCI has done an amazing job cleaning them up, removing almost every instance of debris. The prints they have to work with, though, are also in excellent condition. Of the lot, Human Beasts is a slight step down from the rest in terms of coloring and dust, given it was shot on a lower budget in Japan. The rest though, all exhibit very saturated colors, deep blacks and a limited amount of grain. It really is amazing how nice they look. All the prints are a wee bit soft, but thats a small price to pay for all the other leaps these transfers have over their predecessors on video. A fabulous restoration, and all uncut, to boot!
BCI didnt just stop with the video. The sound is presented in the two options viewers will care about most the original Castilian, and the dubbed English. Human Beasts is the only film without the English dubbing, but English subtitles are provided (as they are on the other films). All the tracks sound very clear, although faint crackles can be heard throughout each track. There is never a drop out, and the mix effectively balances dialogue, sound effects and music. All the tracks are mono only, but since thats the way they were recorded, thats more than alright.
Supplemental Material
This section could be really long, or really short. Lets make it short: BCI has done a commendable job in creating a very polished disc with personal supplements right from the source. The first thing to note on every film is just how nicely everything is packaged. All the casings for the five discs all have the same aged backdrop, and inside each case are quality liner notes. On the discs themselves the menus aggregate the experience even more, each with a beautifully rendered gothic motion menu. The menu structure is convincingly set up like a book, with each menu a turn of the page away. Just from a presentation standpoint, BCI has really done a stellar job in uniting Naschys films together in a package that complements his work ably.

http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot7s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot7l.jpg)
Whats a Naschy set without word from Naschy, though? BCI has gone to great lengths to include the Spanish legend extensively on every disc. He first provides an introduction for each film. More than just saying the title, he uses props and speaks with a macabre that would do Alfred Hitchcock proud, introducing the major themes of each film and providing a wonderful lens by which to view the rest of the film. He also contributes two commentaries, one on Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll and the other on Horror Rises from the Tomb. Although you wouldnt necessarily tell it from his films, Naschy is a surprisingly deep thinker and well versed in film history. Hes constantly referring to older films, and really does an effective job of dissecting the themes of his movies, from the fetishization of the plastic hand in Blue Eyes to the appeal of surrealism in general. There is a lot to learn about Naschy, and the cinema itself, from listening to these tracks.
Naschy also has a sitdown interview in Exorcism that runs about thirty minutes. In it he talks about a number of interesting items, from the pluses of making movies in the seventies to his collaborations with Japan. He then talks about each film from the box set specifically, as well as others such as his famous Wolfman character. Like the rest of his supplements, this is filled with a wealth of information. The last of the Naschy exclusives is a newer short film with Naschy, The Vampyre, which is a pretty shoddy recapitulation of his older films, with Naschy predictably the count. Shot on video, it doesnt have the appeal that his other films do.
Each DVD in this set also has extensive still galleries, with photos both on set and from advertising used all across the world. Most usually have the theatrical trailer as well, alternate title sequences, and, most interestingly of all, fully clothed sequences. These are, as you might imagine, the riskier scenes from the films shot with clothing. So that sexy nude sacrifice in Exorcism becomes a display of tacky nylon shawls. While it would have been nice to hear from a few other filmmakers somewhere in the extras, whats here is truly commendable. This set really does do Paul Naschy right.
Final Thoughts
http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot71s.jpg (http://www.horrordvds.com/reviews/n-z/naschy/naschy_shot71l.jpg)Paul Naschy worked the genre film like no other, never typecast and always donning new appearances to further lose himself in character. His tour de force multi-character performances in Horror Rises from the Tomb and Vengeance of the Zombies are the real standouts here, but even when hes playing it straight in Blue Eyes of the Broken Doll or Exorcism, hes always a captivating screen presence. More than just fine examples of Naschys versatility, these films in BCIs box set really showcase the diverse appeal of Spanish horror. This is the perfect set to sample for those looking to get a foot into the country politic, since it covers a wide variety of sub-genres within all of horror. The visual transfers are spectacular, and the audio is preserved nicely in two languages. The entourage of extras, many with Paul Naschy today, really help pay respect to these usually slighted films, and the professional packaging of the casing and menus just seals the deal.
BCI has released all these titles separately in the past, but this is a great place to start for those who did not snap these up originally. My only gripe with the set is BCI not including one of their previously produced Naschy Werewolf films. Considering his werewolf is his longest running and most famous creation, the lack of any films on the subject, be it Night of the Werewolf or Werewolfs Shadow, is a major oversight. One of those could have easily replaced the sub-par offense of Human Beasts. Perhaps a Naschy werewolf set is on the horizon? Even without any Naschy wolf man theatrics though, this is a stellar sample of one of the most iconic horror careers in the history of cinema. Spend your Cashy on Naschy this is a great box set.

Thanks for reviewing this! I was wondering whether these flicks are any good.
Horror Junkie
I'm one of the few who likes "Horror Rises from the Tomb" I would imagine. I've never seen it uncut tho.. would be a treat.

University names Davis alumni director
Jeff Davis
Jeff Davis, a veteran alumni association executive at Steven F. Austin University in Nacogdoches, Texas, is being named Mississippi State University's executive director of the alumni association.
Davis succeeds Jimmy Abraham, who retired earlier this year after a 38-year career in alumni affairs and student affairs. He is set to begin his duties on Nov. 18.
"Engaging our alumni is a core mission and I'm confident that Jeff Davis is capable of leading an already successful MSU Alumni Association to the next level," said MSU President Mark E. Keenum. "I also appreciate those who served in an exhaustive search process that led to Jeff's ultimate selection. His experience, energy and enthusiasm will be an excellent fit as the university's leadership team works to advance MSU in new and exciting ways."
Davis will serve as the key liaison between the university and its more than 127,000 living alumni around the state and across the nation. The 135-year-old land-grant institution has more than 95 alumni chapters in locations across the U.S. and overseas.
In his new role, Davis will develop and implement programs to maintain lifelong interactions between Mississippi State graduates and the institution and provide feedback from alumni about their concerns, said John P. Rush, MSU vice president for development and alumni.
"Jeff Davis possesses the unique skill set necessary to lead our MSU Alumni Association to new heights of engagement, service and success," said Rush. "Despite an illustrious group of predecessors in this important position, Jeff will be MSU's first alumni association director with significant prior experience in alumni relations. That experience, combined with his enthusiasm and warmth, positions MSU well for the future."
Davis served as SFA's executive director of alumni affairs since 2008. He also was chief executive of both the SFA Alumni Association and the SFA Alumni Foundation.
At the comprehensive regional institution, Davis was responsible for the direction and management of an SFA alumni relations program that serviced nearly 100,000 alumni worldwide. He also was charged with raising funds to support student scholarships and alumni programs. Prior to the executive director post at SFA, he served as director of development for the SFA Alumni Association. The Clear Lake, Texas, native also worked for the University of Alabama at Birmingham as assistant director of new student orientation and parent programs.
Danny Hossley, a 1965 MSU business alumnus and alumni association executive committee member, said Davis was chosen based on his experience and proven successes as the alumni director at a major university.
"Jeff demonstrated that he knows the mission and has the vision and passion to lead and grow our association. I feel that he'll create enthusiasm among all our alumni and at the same time work well with our entire university staff and officials," Hossley said.
"Jeff also fits the mold of the young, enthusiastic and passionate professionals MSU has brought in most recently to lead us forward," he said.
Tommy R. Roberson, national president of the MSU Alumni Association and 1967 political science and history graduate, said Davis is automatically a part of the Bulldog family because his grandfather, 1940 alumnus Richard Warfield Davis, played football at Mississippi State.
"Jeff is very knowledgeable about the history of this university and very engaging," Roberson said.
Camille Scales Young, immediate former national president of the association and a 1994 communication and 1996 agriculture and extension education alumna, said she is looking forward to Davis's leadership and the experience he brings to the table.
"Jeff's personality brings enthusiasm that is contagious, and our Bulldog family welcomes him into our ranks. We look forward to a productive and successful tenure as director of our alumni association, as well as many years of growth," Scales said.
MSU Alumni Association executive committee member and national first vice president Ron Black, a 1980 marketing alumnus, said Davis has "tremendous energy and vision."
"There is no doubt that Jeff can and will take the MSU Alumni Association to the next level," Black said.
Davis holds a master of business administration in management from the University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Business. He is a 2002 graduate of Stephen F. Austin State University where he earned a bachelor's in business administration from the Nelson Rusche College of Business.
Davis belongs to the Council of Alumni Association Executives, which is made up of 100 chief executive officers of the top 100 alumni organizations that support four-year institutions of higher education. He is an active member of the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education, the Alumni Professionals of Texas, the Association of Fundraising Professionals, the Nacogdoches Jaycees, the Fredonia Rotary Club and the alumni chapter of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity.
Christie D. Walters, a 1998 fine arts alumna and Alumni Association executive committee member, said she looks forward to working with Davis. "What an exciting day for Mississippi State University to welcome Jeff Davis as our new Alumni Association director. With his experience in alumni leadership, our association will continue to grow and succeed," Walters said.
Joining Davis in Starkville will be his wife, Jenny, and two daughters Campbell and Collins.

FT. WORTH, TX (April 5, 2008) – Carl Edwards and the No. 60 Scotts Water Smart team went into Texas Motor Speedway with a lot of confidence and motivation and nipping at the heels of the Nationwide Series points leader Clint Bowyer. Practice was delayed for weather and qualifying was cancelled because of rain and the 43-car field was set by 2008 owner's points. This gave Edwards a fourth place starting position on the 1.5 oval. Edwards fought a loose car all day and experienced some bad luck by getting caught a lap down while pitting under green flag conditions. Eventually, Edwards got the Lucky Dog spot and was able to get back on the lead lap, but it was too late to make up any major ground. He did gain one position from David Reitumann, but finally finished 13th.
Edwards started from the fourth position when the green flag dropped. He fluctuated between 2nd and 8th over the first 54 laps and reported to his Scotts Water Smart crew that his Ford was pretty good, but a little loose. They green flag pitted on lap 55 and made air pressure adjustments on both left sides, four tires and fuel. Edwards entered 7th and resumed racing in 7th once the 43-car field cycled through.
On lap 91 the second caution flag flew and Edwards pitted for a trackbar adjustment, fuel and four tires. He entered pit road in 5th, but resumed racing in 7th on lap 95.
Edwards ran in the top-10 the whole race until lap 152 when he got caught a lap down while green flag pitting. While the field was cycling through a yellow flag came out on lap 155 causing Edwards to go a lap down and put him back in the 14th position.
Edwards and the No. 60 team fought a tough battle at the end and did capture the Lucky Dog position on lap 189. Unfortunately, it was too late to gain much ground. He was able to get by David Reutimann on lap 198 and was able to finish on the lead lap in the 13th position.
"I've just got to thank Scotts and everybody, but this Scotts Water Smart Fusion was just not fast enough at the end," stated Edwards. "It was really loose throughout the race and we had some bad luck by going down a lap. The team did a great job, but we were never able to get back into the top-10."
"This Scotts Water Smart Ford Fusion was free all weekend. We just made some changes to tighten it up before the race and just didn't quite get enough out of it. We worked on it all day. We worked really hard. Everybody put a lot of thought into it and every stop it got better and better and better. It just didn't get all the freeness out of it and got a lap down when that 41 car spun. We were just a little too far back and it put us at the tail end of the lead lap. We needed a caution to come a little quicker than it did. We definitely lucked out with 11 laps to go when the caution came out and we were able to come back around. With that short of time and starting at the tail end of the lead lap you do the best you can. Carl did a great job with doing the best he could with that car. That's how you get a championship team, by running with what you have every week. We're going to go back to the shop and work a little harder. The guys did a great job. The motor's good. We've just got to keep digging," stated Crew Chief Pierre Kuettel.
Next week Edwards and the No. 60 team head to Phoenix International Raceway with their World Financial Group Ford Fusion. Edwards remains in second place in the overall points standings, just 57 points behind the leader Clint Bowyer.

In this article from New York, although homeschooling is said to be a smaller factor in the decline of rural school enrollment, the only family profiled in the article homeschools. Why is it the homeschooling that garners such attention when the article credits a greater number of children in private schools?
- Auburn Citizen, Auburn, New York, 2 July 2006, School choice adding to enrollment decline   Â
Turck estimated 90 school-aged children residing in Southern Cayuga attend private schools in other districts. A smaller number of families, he added, are opting to home-school their children.  … Â
On the flip side of that coin, the superintendent said the committee should also know about reasons behind families' decisions to school their children.
… or perhaps the reasons behind families' decisions to send their children to private schools? Does the committee want to know about that, too, or is there some kind of professional courtesy only within the education industry so that schools don't poach on each others' populations?
The decrease in the number of enrolled children in this New York area apparently is local/regional as a 2005 article from Ohio paints a picture of a growing number of school-age children in the country as a whole, with an emphasis on, "increasing numbers in western and southern areas of the nation …"
- The Columbus Dispatch, Columbus, Ohio, 23 June 2005, Report Puts Education goals on Iffy Ground   Â
These and many other interesting statistics can be found in the latest annual issue of "Condition of Education," the congressionally mandated national educational statistical report released by the Department of Education. Â
An analysis of this huge volume points to demographic shifts and student population trends that will have far reaching effects on public education. Elements sparking change include:Â Â
• A 25 percent increase in the annual birthrate since the mid-1970s means more schools will be needed.
In any region with a significant population (say, a small town-worth of citizens), the need for schooling will have to be addressed, especially given our democratically compulsory model of a 'free' public education. This 'freeness' is a euphemism for the transfer of some of the wealth, via taxation, from those who have more to spend to those who have much less to spend. 'Free' schooling in the United States is paid for to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars each year (Ctrl F and search for "trillion").
I don't find this transfer objectionable, in theory, because I usually think encouraging people to become educated and aware is a good thing to do, although every silver lining has its cloud.  Despite not objecting to the wealth transfer that funds the American elementary and secondary education industry, I'd be interested in reading objective observations on the dynamics of mass-schooling and the sum of the effects on a population practicing such things. Finding the control-group to compare this mass-schooled population against may be difficult, although one group springs to mind.  However, catching and banding them might prove difficult.
What I do find objectionable is the focus on homeschooling in these kinds of articles, even though it's flattering to be a member of such a talked-about subgroup (are we cool yet?).  If homeschooling is a factor in public school policy then, ultimately, so are the birth-control practices of any adult in the catchment area, meaning that if any fluctuation, for whatever reason, in the feeder population is valid for consideration, then all reasons for fluctuation in population are valid.
If 'families and their reasons-for-leaving a public school system' are to be showcased, then examples from both kinds of families should be used. To do otherwise indicates a bias in considering the culpability of the leavers (if such a thing exists in a free country where Choice is extolled as a great good), and creates the impression, yet again, that children serve the education industry instead of the other way around.
It is encouraging that this public school system is trying to find the reasons why people are voting with their feet, but the complexity of the industry that schools human children en masse, and the ebbs and flows endemic to doing this, can't be distilled to 'Public v. Home' concerning schooling.

It's a cool place to bring a friend for dinner. I love their salmon stuffed with crab meat, and they have great salads too, the Monteray Salad is awesome and a ton of food. Omg, I recently had their coconut flan... It melts in your mouth, you have to try it. My bf doesn't like coconut, but he liked it. Ask for Christina, she is the best waitress they have. I've never had such a great waitress.
Posted by Marie on 03/13/2014
No idea what the hype is all about. Service is poor food is mediocre.

Posted by robb76 on 02/17/2009
the food is great, we had gambas al ajillo pretty good, for dinner we had carne asada a la parrilla wow pretty good..the frozen margaritas great, the staff awesome and yes it gets very crowded...if im ever in the D.C. are again we will make sure we stop by the great place...so if you're into mexican food and you're in d.c. stop by lauriel cause you wont regret it...
Posted by Jo on 01/17/2009
The food at Lauriol Plaza is pretty tasty, especially the guacamole. And I love the fajitas - great big flavorful chunks of meat, peppers, and onions. I like to go early before the crowds to get a seat - preferably outdoors on a nice evening.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/14/2007
You can't really deny this being a fun place if you can grab a seat. The service is pretty good considering how chaotic the place can get, but get there early. However, I used to love their salads but I think they might have changed their recipes. Last time I was there they looked different. Nonetheless, this place has a fun atmosphere, great salsa and reasonably priced.
Posted by Clifford the Dog on 05/07/2007
...but then I realized that the only reason I had a good time is that you have to wait so long for a table that you've always had at least 2 or 3 drinks by the time you sit down. So you don't notice that the food isn't as good as a lot of other Mexican restaurants in DC, and that the service is really pretty indifferent. The atmosphere can be fun, only because the sheer number of people there. Definitely try to eat outside. I still go there once in a while, but it's completely lost its luster for me.

Pretty Eat-In Kitchen
Clean-lined cabinets and finishes play off feminine accents.
The original kitchen plans of designer Sarah Richardson, host of HGTV's Sarah's House and Sarah's Cottage, didn't include wallpaper — until she came across this pattern. "I loved the large scale and that it was a contemporary floral," she says. "And the silver is such a subtle metallic touch, it was just pure luck that it happened to work with my scheme."

The School of Law and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science (RSMAS) at the University of Miami offer an exciting and targeted offering for students who want to further their careers in marine affairs and policy. Enabling a student to earn both a Juris Doctor and Masters of Professional Science in Marine Affairs degree (J.D./M.P.S.), the joint degree program in law and marine affairs and policy prepares students to be leaders in law and marine affairs and be better positioned to tackle the environmental issues society is facing from a policy and legal angle.
"One of the advantages of the joint degree program is that it permits students, while they are studying in each program, also to study in the other," stated Professor Bernard Oxman, a founder of the program and a globally-renowned expert on the Law of the Sea. "This makes them better students in both because they are learning more about the underlying field."
The program was initially created in order to meet students' interest in both arenas and allow them to earn the degrees in a shorter period of time. In addition to the time savings, students learn from interacting with professors and students with a wide variety of perspectives.
Raleigh Watson, 3L, came to UM specifically to pursue the joint degree program. Watson has much experience at fishing, as he was raised on the water in a coastal North Carolina town. During the two years between college and law/graduate school, Watson worked full-time on different fishing boats and at a fishing lodge.
With a passion for fisheries management and conservation, Watson was particularly intrigued by the unique opportunities offered by UM. Watson explained that "I wanted to figure out a way to further my career, but also stay involved in ocean issues."
Through courses at both schools, Watson was able to obtain the legal and policy tools necessary to succeed in his internship and his future career. He has completed a variety of research papers and presentations, and has a deeper understanding of fisheries and admiralty issues. In addition to his internship at the Billfish Foundation, Watson has worked at admiralty firms during his law school experience. After graduation, Watson hopes to work on effective policies for sustainable fisheries with the best scientific evidence available.

Medical examiner: Grandfather's leg wounds proved fatal
An 83-year-old grandfather died from complications of gunshot wounds to his legs, a medical examiner told jurors Thursday in Durham County Superior Court.
Dr. Samuel Simmons of the N.C. Medical Examiner's Office performed the autopsy on homicide victim George Junior Pratt, who was shot during a 2010 carjacking.
Simmons said Pratt had wounds in his left leg above the knee and the inside of his lower right leg.
Pratt was shot April 7, 2010, and died two months later after staying at Duke University Hospital and later in a hospice.
A toxicology test on Pratt's body detected morphine, used in a clinical setting for pain, but no alcohol, Simmons said.
The medical examiner said Pratt appeared to have moderate heart and kidney disease, and recently had contracted pneumonia and an infection.
"Most likely, the ultimate cause of death was infection from the gunshot wounds," he testified.
Robert Earl Wilkerson, 31, was charged with murder. He is represented by attorney Matt Cook.
A witness testified Wednesday that he saw a car pull up beside Pratt's car on Franklin Street, near Alston Avenue, about 11 a.m. the day of the incident. A man got out of the passenger side and told Pratt: "I got your old [expletive]" and shot him twice, pulled him out of the car and threw him to the ground. He said the gunman got into Pratt's car, and he and the driver of the suspects' car departed in opposite directions.
Soon after the shooting, Durham police found the suspects' vehicle near at a house on Currin Road in Durham.
Police arrested Wilkerson and two others: Leryan Ishmael Scarlett, 30, charged with murder and armed robbery; and Sharell Roberson, 28, charged with felony accessory after the fact and filing a false police report. They will be tried later.
The prosecution, led by Assistant District Attorney Jim Dornfried, plans to call Scarlett as a witness against Wilkerson.
Testimony continues today, with Judge Osmond Smith presiding.

If there was anyone having a good day yesterday, other than President Obama and our gorgeous First Lady, of course, it had to be Kelly Clarkson. She was at the occasion to sing My Country 'Tis of Thee with the United States Marine Band after the Prez's address. Her backstage time was well-spent with that other powerhouse, who blew us away with her rendition of the national anthem, Beyonce. Kelly was suitably star-struck around Bey, as you can see in the picture on the left. "Me and B just hangin' out ….don't worry about it. Seriously, God did good. She is so beautiful!" is what her tweet read.
And then it got even better. Because during the time that she was actually singing — and TV cameras picked this up everywhere — she kept getting photobombed by none other than ex-Prez Bill Clinton. Solid gold. This photograph (above right) has been doing the rounds and cracked us up completely. You go, Kelly.

Memories of My Melancholy Whores is Gabriel García Márquez's first work of fiction in ten years, written at the height of his powers, the Spanish edition of which Ilan Stavans called, "Masterful. Erotic. As hypnotizing as it is disturbing" (Los Angeles Times).
On the eve of his ninetieth birthday, our unnamed protagonist–an undistinguished journalist and lifelong bachelor–decides to give himself "the gift of a night of wild love with an adolescent virgin."
The virgin, whom an old madam procures for him, is splendidly young, with the silent power of a sleeping beauty. The night of love blossoms into a transforming year. It is a year in which he relives, in a rush of memories, his lifetime of (paid-for) sexual adventures and experiences a revelation that brings him to the edge of dying–not of old age, but, at long last, of uncorrupted love.
Memories of My Melancholy Whores is a brilliant gem by the master storyteller.
Gabriel García Márquez was born in 1927 near Aracataca, Colombia. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1982.
Edith Grossman is widely recognized as the preeminent Spanish-to-English translator of our time.
Gabriel García Márquez's Living to Tell the Tale, The Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor, Chronicle of a Death Foretold, Love in the Time of Cholera, News of a Kidnapping, and The General in His Labyrinth are available in Vintage paperback. Vivir para contarla, El amor en los tiempos del cólera, Crónica de una muerta anunciada, El general en su laberinto and Memorias de mis putas tristes are available in Vintage Español.
"Unforgettable. . . . Classic Márquez. " –The Washington Post

"Luminous. . . . The cunning of Memories lies in the utter–and utterly unexpected-- reliability of its narrator" –The New York Times Book Review

Wine Cart
12 Jan 2013
This beautifully designed wine cart to serve guests their drinks is something that caught my attention when I passed by this section inside the Korean restaurant that is to open soon in one of the malls in the city. It would be nice to be serving rounds of wine and alcoholic drinks to guests in a party with this. I just thought and remembered someone who loves to drink when I saw this one.
It is nice if one does social drinking and I think everyone who drinks should be able to control. I think as long as one knows how to control their drinking, no one needs to end up in one of those rehab treatment centers spending some period of time in a full time, custodial care type, residential treatment center for therapy and education addressing alcohol addiction.When drinking gets out of control, stop it for it should just be for social drinking.
Anyway, this wine cart is really nice. I remember liking a table that looks as elegant as this one. It had more intricate designs while this one looks more modern. This is one beautiful wine cart indeed.

Gear Review
Alan Hebert
Soles cracked, but it took a few years
THese boots were incredibly comfortable and blister-free. If you asked me about them 6 months ago, I would have given then 5 stars. However, on the trip last week, about 8 miles fromt he trailhead, I noticed that the left boot sole was cracking, in fact had cracked all the way through. Inspection revealed that the right boot was starting to go, too.
I'm a big guy....275 pounds and I carry a 50+ pound pack. OK, that's a lot of weight. On the other hand, I ONLY wear these for backpacking, one week per year, plus maybe half a dozen short day hikes spread throughout the year. I think it's ridiculous that a boot at this price should have an issue like this. The old Hi-Tec's that I replaced with these Vasque's lasted nearly a decade.
mine cracked in much less time than that, and im 75 lbs lights... they need to look at the sole design.

Money and Its Use in Medieval Europe, Issue 1993
Cambridge University Press, Sep 21, 1989 - Business & Economics - 484 pages
This is a full-scale study of the history of money, not merely of coinage, to have been written for medieval Europe. The book is not limited to one country, or to any one period or theme, but extracts the most important elements for the historian across the broadest possible canvas. Its scope extends from the mining of precious metals on the one hand, to banking, including the use of cheques and bills of exchange, on the other. Chapters are arranged chronologically, rather than regionally or thematically, and offer a detailed picture of the many and changing roles played by money, in all its forms, in all parts of Europe throughout the Middle Ages. Thus money is seen as having differing values for differing parts of individual societies. The book shows money moving and changing as a result of war and trade and other political, economic and ecclesiastical activities without regard for national barriers or the supposed separation between 'East' and 'West'.

MADISON - An Oshkosh man charged in connection with a real estate investment scheme was bound over for trial, Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today. Judge Barbara Hart Key scheduled the case for a status conference on November 3, 2008 at 9 a.m.
Mark H. Brenner, 49, appeared in court this morning and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. Brenner pled "not guilty" to six felonies, including three counts arising from allegations that he engaged in securities fraud by making false representations and omitting material information in soliciting the investments from an elderly husband and wife. The other three counts allege that Brenner sold the securities without properly registering them with the Department of Financial Institutions, as required by Wisconsin law.
According to the criminal complaint, Brenner informed the investors that his business involved purchasing distressed properties, repairing and refurbishing them, and then reselling the properties for a profit. Brenner represented that his business was established and "going," enabling him to pay big interest and that he was working with a loan officer who fed him information when the loan officer's bank was getting ready to foreclose on a property.
Relying on these representations, the complaint continues, the elderly victims invested a total of $97,000 in a series of transactions between November 2001 and November 2002. The interest rates for these investments ranged from 10 to 15 percent annually. By November 2004, Brenner owed nearly $105,000, including principal and interest. He entered into another agreement with the victims to repay the obligation. All payments stopped in April 2005.
The complaint further alleges that, in fact, Brenner and his business, Valley Home Buyers, never purchased a single property and that Brenner used these investment funds to pay his living expenses and interest payments. Additionally, the investigation revealed that from 1990 to 1994, Brenner was sued numerous times, resulting in money judgments against him and one foreclosure. The complaint states that Brenner never informed the elderly couple of any of these facts.
A person charged with a crime is presumed innocent and the state must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant Attorney General Paul L. Barnett as special prosecutor for Winnebago County and was investigated by the Department of Justice's Division Criminal Investigation.

Prince Royce Signs Exclusive Publishing Deal with peermusic
Miami, FL, August 20, 2013 - Peermusic CEO, Ralph Peer II today announced the worldwide exclusive co-publishing agreement with talented Sony/RCA artist producer Prince Royce.
Royce (real name Geoffrey Royce Rojas) is the leading break-out Latin artist over the past three years having inked five Number 1 singles and winning Latin Songwriter of the Year at the 2013 BMI Awards. With an unstoppable artistic force, Royce tours internationally and judges on the smash hit Spanish music competition show, La Voz while his new single, "Darte Un Beso," instantly obtained the #2 spot on Billboard's Hot Latin Tracks (1 of 3 songs he currently has in the Top 20). Additionally, Royce is set to continue his Latin pop culture domination and will be releasing his third full length album in October 2013 on Sony Discos. Peermusic publishes the current single and the songs on the upcoming new album as well as administers songs contained on his previous album entitled "Phase II" (on indie Top Stop Records).
Royce is handled by uber-manager David Sonenberg (Black Eyed Peas, Fergie, Will.i.am, John Legend). He is the first Latin artist that David has signed and his intent is to create a true crossover star. Having co-written songs with Toby Gad (If I Were a Boy, Big Girls Don't Cry) and superstar Selena Gomez, Royce has set the landscape to break out in the Pop world. Royce is currently signed to Sony for the Latin market and to RCA in the English market. Royce's first English language album will be released in 2014.
"peermusic is a perfect fit for Prince Royce. A family run independent with strong roots in the Latin community and offices globally, including a great studio in Miami where Royce can make music close to home." DAVID SONENBERG
Congratulations to the U.S. peermusic team which include Sam Kling (VP & A&R Film & Television) and Julio Bagué (Executive Director Miami and Puerto Rico) as the creative leads with Kathy Spanberger (President and Chief Operating Officer) overseeing the negotiations. peermusic welcomes Prince Royce to their exclusive family of songwriters!
"Royce is certainly the top emerging talent in the US Latin music market. What distinguishes this signing even further is that he is also very much on track to become an international cross-over star. Born of Dominican parents and growing up in the Bronx, Royce is a guy who thinks in both cultures. This is where the world is going."
Ralph Peer, peermusic CEO
About Prince Royce/basic bio info…
Prince Royce is an urban bachata singer from New York who broke into the Latin pop mainstream in 2010 with a bilingual version of "Stand by Me." Born Geoffrey Royce Rojas in the Bronx, NY, he is of Dominican heritage; both of his parents are from the Dominican Republic. In association with producer Andrés Hidalgo and 2Strong Entertainment, Royce made his full-length album debut with Prince Royce in 2010. Released on Top Stop Music, the label of New York salsa legend Sergio George, the album was well received by bachata fans, and the 20-year-old singer was compared favorably to Aventura, Xtreme, Bachata Heightz, and other urban-oriented acts from New York. A bilingual version of the Ben E. King standard "Stand by Me" was released as the lead single and became a smash hit, breaking into the Top Ten of the Billboard Latin Songs chart.
The PRINCE ROYCE NEW SINGLE "DARTE UN BESO"
Just two weeks after the radio premiere in U.S. Hispanic and Puerto Rico, the new Prince Royce single "Darte Un Beso" (http://smarturl.it/DarteUnBeso) reached # 1 on the "Latin Tropical Airplay," #3 on "Latin Airplay," and listed on the " Latin Pop Airplay "chart.

Morgan Stanley Gasoline Traders Said to Quit for Mercuria
Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Three of Morgan Stanley's gasoline traders have quit the bank to join Mercuria Energy Trading SA, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
Leo Sint Nicolaas, Sebastian Ferraccu and Louis Mitchell resigned from their posts in London, according to the people, who declined to be identified because the information hasn't been made public. They left this week, one of the people said.
Tom Walton, a spokesman for Morgan Stanley in London, declined to comment by phone today. Geneva-based Mercuria didn't immediately respond to a voicemail message or an e-mail seeking comment.
Mercuria hired staff for its energy business from other banks earlier this year, including Roger Jones, former global head of commodities and Phil Sutterby, a senior natural gas trader at Barclays Plc. Andrew Perkins joined the company from Morgan Stanley this year to head its new global agriculture team in Singapore.
Morgan Stanley's second-quarter net revenue from commodities and fixed income sales and trading fell 59 percent to $770 million from $1.9 billion a year earlier, the bank said in a statement on July 19. The drop reflected "the challenging global market environment with reduced levels of client activity," it said.
