Lots for The Force Awakens fans this week, as Bloodline by Claudia Gray drops Tuesday. The Leia-centric novel has been among the most anticipated since it was announced. (Look for my review tomorrow.) Out on Wednesday is Poe Dameron #2.
25 years of Heir to the Empire
The first Star Wars novel to be set after Return of the Jedi, Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire was released in hardcover on May 1, 1991. It was the first major step out of what's now called 'the Dark Times,' when Star Wars was (mostly) a dormant franchise. The book was immensely successful and helped prove there was still an audience for Star Wars
Although now classified as non-canon 'Legends', along with the rest of the pre-2014 Expanded Universe, Heir remains an important part of franchise and fandom history. Hell, we wouldn't exist without it.
Also it's a damn good story and you should read it (along with '92's Dark Force Rising and '93's The Last Command) if you haven't already. Though note I am totally biased.
Wear Star Wars Every Day: Week 17
My streak of Star Wars Celebration wear continues for #WearStarWarsEveryDay week 17! Plus we have a new per-day pledgemaker, so big thanks to Kismet! Also thanks to Kristen who donated Celebration shirts for two of the days! This review for Week 17 covers April 22 to April 28 of my wearathon, and an update on fundraising for Collateral Repair Project, a non-profit organization that provides emergency assistance, education, and community support to urban refugees.
Just a reminder, I want to turn May into a showcase of Star Wars fandom, highlighting different fan efforts such as websites, podcasts, costume clubs, collecting clubs, artwork, etc. So if you've got something cool to donate or lend, like a club shirt, hat or costume item, send it on over, and I'll promote your group or solo effort. Get the shipping info here.
Get more info on what Wear Star Wars Every Day is all about, or make a donation or a per-day pledge!
Spoilerphobes beware: Episode VIII Pinewood sets spied from above
The Daily Mail has some images of outdoor sets being built for Episode VIII at Pinewood. The first, which appears near-finished, is very similar to Skellig Michael/Ahch-To. Two others remain mysterious. Also present: The Millennium Falcon. View at your own discretion.
Spoilerphobes beware: Mads Mikkelsen keeps the Rogue One details coming
After admitting that he's playing Jyn Erso's father in Rogue One the other day, Mads Mikkelsen had even more to say to the Evening Standard on Friday. He teases the presence of "iconic characters" – more than Mon Mothma, that is – and a bit more about his interactions with the Jyn character.
Mothma's trailer appearance was a complete surprise, but there have been plenty of rumors regarding other characters from the original trilogy era showing up.
Video: Rifftrax's The Force Awakens trailer
Rifftrax has given The Force Awakens the MST3K treatment. I chuckled! The full audio track is available now.
Carbonite dreams: Best #StarWars and #TheForceAwakens tweets for April 22-28
This week, Luke met Bucky, Millicent attended a birthday, Hufflepuffs were cursed at and a lot of people squeed about Bloodline. Also, Beyoncé. BECAUSE IT'S THE LAW.
Halfway there: Rian Johnson marks midpoint of Episode VIII filming
Episode VIII director Rian Johnson highlights the microfiber sham guys in his Tumblr post marking the halfway point of filming.
Rock on, microfiber sham guys.
Video: Mads Mikkelsen spills (some) beans on his Rogue One character
Mads Mikkelsen told Sky News that his character in Rogue One is the father of Felicity Jones' Jyn Erso.
Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen reveals that he's playing the father of the main character in Star Wars film Rogue One https://t.co/6dagUqZB2j
— Sky News (@SkyNews) April 28, 2016
This does confirm part of an earlier report from (who else) Making Star Wars. Here's the direct link, but be warned MSW goes into far more detail regarding the plot and his role in it.
A statistical look at The Force Awakens' fan fiction
Remember when a respected publication wrote about The Force Awakens fanfic? Well, here's an intriguing follow-up of sorts: Tumblr user DestinationToast on the Archive of Our Own stats for the fandom.
Archive of Our Own (aka AO3) is arguably the most important fan fiction archive for general fandom. This isn't a complete picture of Star Wars fan fiction, as Star Wars has always been a bit of an outlier to overall fandom trends, but The Force Awakens is the first major Star Wars film to come out since AO3 launched in 2008. Toast does look briefly at the numbers for old standby Fanfiction.Net (FFN,) plus relative newcomers Tumblr and Wattpad.
Another major outlet for Star Wars fic is TheForce.Net's Jedi Council boards, but no doubt the message board format makes these sort of things much harder to track. I do hope that authors on the JC have gotten better about double-posting their works to FFN or AO3… A lot of fics were all but lost when TFN migrated their boards to a new system several years back, causing posts of length (aka mostly fanfic) to be truncated beyond readability.

These events are FREE and open to the public. Children are welcome in the company of an adult.
You will receive information on parking when you register. Registration information is below.
Wake Up and Weed
Date: Thursdays, 10 am to 12 noon
Time: 6:00 to 7:30 pm
Meeting Place: Volunteer Trailer in the front parking lot
Join our weed-warrior crew! We are Fresh Pond citizens dedicated to keeping invasive plants at bay for the benefit of wildlife, water and humans alike. No experience or long-term commitment necessary! All tools are provided; sturdy shoes, pants, long-sleeves and a water bottle are strongly recommended. Please contact Martine at (617) 349-6489 or firstname.lastname@example.com for any RSVPs or questions!
Among the migrating birds that are passing through at this time of year, we might see several species of waterfowl as well as songbirds, including a variety of warblers. In addition, many of our summer residents will have returned: tree swallows, catbirds, phoebes, vireos, orioles, grackles and red-winged blackbirds. Beginners are welcome. We have binoculars to lend and will show you how to use them. Led by Nancy Guppy. Register with Catherine Pedemonti at email@example.com.
Walter J. Sullivan Water Purification Facility Tour
Date: Monday, April 11
Time: 6 to 7:30 pm
Meeting Place : Water Purification Facility front door
250 Fresh Pond Parkway
Find out how water that falls as rain in the suburbs 10 miles west of Cambridge is transported to Fresh Pond, and then tested, treated, and delivered to the City's residents and businesses! Learn about the plant's state-of-the-art technology that keeps our community's tap water clean. You'll have the chance to speak with water treatment staff, see the equipment in action, and check out our water quality lab. Advance notice is appreciated if coming with a large group. For more information or to RSVP, please contact Martine at (617) 349-6489 or email@example.com.
Future Monday evening Water Department tours: April 11, May 16, June 13, July 11, August 15, September 12, October 17, November 14
Join Ranger Jean for a Third Friday lunchtime Ranger walkabout around Fresh Pond. We will monitor wildlife by sign, track or presence, and make note of weather, state of plants, condition of water and other abiotic resources. On these monthly walks from December through June, help chart the seasonal changes of some of our most active wildlife spots, or simply come and enjoy the walk. Come dressed to be outdoors for the hour. Attend one or the series and develop your ability to take in more of the reservation. No dogs please! Extreme weather cancels. For more info, contact Ranger Jean at (508)-562-7605.
A volunteer event perfect for both kids and adults! Come help remove garlic mustard, an invasive, non-native plant that crowds out native plants and puts toxins in the soil that inhibit native seeds from sprouting. Fortunately, it's easy to recognize, easy to pull, and edible! No experience necessary! All tools are provided; long sleeves, pants and a water bottle are recommended.
In addition we invite you to help sprout wildflowers all over Cambridge by making "seed-bombs" out of compost, clay and seeds! Take them home with you and spread throughout town. Native wildflower species are not only beautiful, they also provide nectar and seed for wildlife, and reduce erosion. Please RSVP to email@example.com.
MIgratory Bird Walk #2
Every bird walk is unique and an opportunity for surprise sightings. That is part of the thrill of birding! We can only guess in advance what we might see and hear. At this time of year many of the birds are courting and claiming territories, so we will probably hear plenty of bird song. We welcome beginners, and we will lend you binoculars. Led by Nancy Guppy. Register with Catherine Pedemonti at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Invasive Plant Walk @ Fresh Pond with Ted Elliman
Curious about the seemingly innocuous plants you've observed volunteers removing from the Reservation during the summertime? Or are you suspicious of some strange new visitors popping up in your garden or climbing up your fences? Join Ted Elliman, botanist extraordinaire formerly of the New England Wildflower Society, for an evening walk around the Reservation, in which he will teach how to identify common invasive plants, why these invasive species pose such a danger to native plant and animal communities, and how to manage them for the health of our local ecosystems. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or (617) 349-6489.

Speaker: Carol Gracie, Author of Spring Wildflowers of the Northeast
Our native spring wildflowers evolved in the once contiguous forests that stretched the length of the East Coast and west to the prairies. Their flowering coincides with increased sunlight and warmth before the forest canopy leafs out, and their associations with the early-flying insects of spring are remarkable. Come learn about the life cycles of selected species in detail— and why many populations are in a marked decline due to human activity. By understanding their evolutionary relationships to forest habitat, we can better protect these ephemeral beauties on all lands, and integrate them into our woodland gardens.
Carol Gracie is a botanist and highly-skilled photographer. In addition to Spring Wildflowers of the Northeast: A Natural History, she has authored several field guides. Her botanizing in South and Central America has led to seven tropical plant species and one genus being named for her.
Planting in a Post-Wild World
Speaker: Claudia West, Co-author of Planting in a Post-Wild World
Few wild places remain in today's world, making it ever more important to bring ecological principles back into the design of our managed landscapes. Much more than simply using native plants, this work necessitates understanding plant communities and embracing a new form of design that marries horticulture with ecology. Join us as we translate the ecological principles of wild plant communities into design and management tools to inform our native plantings. Using the work of several European ecologists and planting designers, we explore the science behind stable and lasting plant combinations—to help you create the landscapes you envision.
Claudia West co-authored Planting in a Post-Wild World with Thomas Rainer. As the Ecological Sales Manager at North Creek Nurseries, Claudia works closely with ecological design and restoration professionals throughout the northeast— focused on stable, layered planting designs and the extensive use of native plants. ?
New England Wild Flower Society's
Our Urban Gardening Series is a set of classes designed to help city dwellers grow healthy, sustainable, and beautiful urban gardens. Led by Society staff in partnership with the Cambridge Conservation Commission, these free classes take place in the lecture hall at the Cambridge Public Library, 449 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02138.

Tough Plants for Tough Places
What will grow well under that hemlock tree? Or out back on the edge of the neighbor's lawn where the goutweed pushed in? How about those really difficult places where nothing grows? Join Dan Jaffe to learn about the toughest of the New England flora, from black cohosh, which thrives in dry, acidic, shady ground, to little blue stem, at home in sunny, barren, dry sites. Instructor: Dan Jaffe
Pruning Fundamentals

New and probably final version of the speed calc.
Should make no mistakes now if your lvl 20 at least.
Thanks to Pfts and king_avx for contributing to the calc
And another new function:
Still makes a few mistakes though, but is better with high agility.
Thanks to Pfts for sending me all the data points. :)
Function is now correct for all my 67 data points. Please tell me if you find errors.
Collected a bit more data and approximated the function better. The calculator should make fewer mistakes now.
To make it more accurate i need high agility data points (agility, speed bonus, speed).
Topic: Rise of Champions /
Made a speed calculator with this information:
Just put in your agility and the speed bonus (e.g. +43%) and you know the resulting speed.
Thx to Shadawn for the formula!
EDIT: formula isn't accurate enough with high agility

Death by 'zorbing': Horrific moment father-of-two is killed after giant inflatable ball sped out of control and plunged off a cliff
- Denis Burakov, 27, broke his neck and spine in the accident
- Companion Vladimir Shcherbov, 33, was hospitalised with concussion and multiple lacerations to the head and body, but was later released
A father-of-two was killed in a
horrifying accident when a giant inflatable ball in which he and another
man were rolling down a mountain plunged off a cliff at a ski-resort in
southern Russia.
Denis Burakov, 27, married with two young daughters, broke his neck and spine in the zorbing accident, say reports.
His companion Vladimir Shcherbov, 33,
was hospitalised with concussion and multiple lacerations to the head
and body, but miraculously was later released.
Scroll down for video
Denis Burakov, 27, was killed in a horrifying accident when a giant inflatable ball in which he and another man were rolling down a mountain plunged off a cliff. Pictured: Mr Burakov with his two daughters and his wife
Tragic accident: One of the zorbing operators holds the sphere securely as the path it is meant to travel down stretches out ahead
The so-called 'orb' was supposed to come to a halt at the bottom of a gentle snowy piste, designed for the sport, which originates in New Zealand.
But in a terrifying accident filmed by the victim's friends, it lurched first to the right and then to the left.
As he got into the giant ball, an unnamed friend - who filmed the horror - is heard saying: 'Denis, you'll be like Jackie Chan in the Armour of God movie!'
Unknown to come: The pair set off on their journey as they are rolled down the slope by the operators
Bouncing ride: The giant sphere bounces down the path as the pair spin around while harnessed into place
An instructor is asked how far the 'orb' can go, replying 'not that far' and explaining there was a man lower down the mountain ready to catch it if it went off track.
But as it is pushed down the slope, a man's voice is heard saying: 'Oh f***, it's gone in the wrong direction again.'
Suddenly the male voice screams: 'Hold it, hold it! Hold!' Then he says: 'Ah well, it's OK, it'll stop by itself.'
The ball crashes through rocks and teeters on the edge of ravine - before disappearing from view, over the cliff.
Uncontrollable: The ball rolls to the bottom of the hill where people are waiting, but then suddenly veers off to left
Panic: As the massive sphere rolls across the path a figure can be seen desperately chasing after it
Desperate: When the ball rolls over the side of the slope it starts to gather momentum and turns
The friend filming the death ride plunge asks: 'What's going on there?'
The voice replies: 'Nothing.' But then calmly adds: 'A catastrophe.' At this the footage stops.
At terrifying speed, the ball had
plunged down Ganachhirskiy Gorge in the Dombai resort complex in
Russia's North Caucasus mountain range.
Falling steeply and battered by rocks, it was pulled down relentlessly by gravity.
'The orb went on for about one and a
half kilometres, jumping on the rocks and hitting them,' said anaide to
local police commander Sergei Shuvayev .
It came to rest on a frozen lake called Peacock's Eye.
Surrounded by thick woodland it took
rescuers an agonising long time to reach the stricken men, and drag the
orb onto firm ground.
When they got there, Mr Burakov from Pyatigorsk, was still alive but he died on the way to hospital on the day of the incident, 3 January.
Speed: Although the ball slows at a bump - it is not clear from the video which it is - it then tips over and speeds up
Fatal: In the final shot of the terrifying video the ball can be seen spinning out of control down a steep incline
His companion survived. 'He was extremely lucky to get away so lightly,' said a local report.
'As for whatever they felt falling
down the slope it is hard even to imagine. Some compare the pressure to
what cosmonauts feel,' said the Stavropol edition of Komsomolskaya
Pravda newspaper.
A probe has been opened into criminal negligence causing death on the part of the extreme sports organisers.
The maximum penalty is ten years in prison.
Tragic: Denis Burakov, left, pictured during a skiing holiday. Friends said that he had gone on away following the New Year
Family man: Mr Burakov with wife Ekaterina. It was not immediately clear if his wife and his young daughters were with him in Dombai
Astonishingly there were no barriers to prevent the out of control orb rolling relentlessly down the mountain.
Friends said that he had gone on a ski-ing holiday following the New Year.
'He became intrigued about the orb
and the man said the trips were only 300 roubles - and that it was great
fun,' said an onlooker.
'Denis was known to love extreme adventures,' said a friend.
He enjoyed visiting the mountains in winter and summer.
It was not immediately clear if his wife, Ekaterina, and his young daughters were with him in Dombai.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera
21 May 2011 14:18 GMT | Middle East, Syria
At least 11 mourners have been killed and at least 27 wounded in Homs after security forces opened fire on a massive funeral procession, according to human rights activists.
More than 40,000 people gathered in Homs on Saturday for the funerals of protesters killed in the city on Friday and were walking back from the cemetery in Tal al Nasser on the outskirts of the city when they were fired on without warning, a witness told Al Jazeera.
The sound of gunfire and cries to help the wounded were audible over the phone as Al Jazeera spoke to the eyewitness.
But lawyer and human rights activist Lina Mansour told Al Jazeera, "Today we've lost about 10 people killed in Homs. Tens of people injured as well."
The wounded have been taken to private clinics and homes as people feared the secret police would raid and arrest the injured from the main state hospital, he said, as they had done in previous such attacks.
Mansour also said that one of the more difficult aspects of the uprising had been that Syrians simply had little, if any, information about friends and family who had been detained.
"Up to the moment there are hundreds of people who went missing and there are people who were detained and they were really tortured... People are detained haphazardly, and we don't know who is alive and who is not."
Live Box 2011421105226899357
She also explained the harsh situation for medical treatment and medical workers themselves.
"Hospitals in Syria are not really able to deal with the huge numbers of injured and killed. The doctors and the medical staff are not allowed to deal properly with the injured people or even treat them... The security forces attacked the ambulances that are full with injured people."
Another lawyer and human rights activist Razan Zaitouna told Al Jazeera that about 58 people have been killed since Friday and that the number continues to increase by the hour.
Zaitouna said while her human rights group has eleven names of those killed in protests at Homs, the actual death toll is much higher because there are many hospitals in different areas that have not yet been contacted for confirmation of casualties.
"First we should be clear, [the] violence is from one side," she told Al Jazeera by phone from Damascus.
"People on the street act peacefully and don't use any kind of violence. So who can stop this violence? It is the regime which uses the violence to crack down. It's the regime who can stop the violence against the people who are demanding freedom - peacefully," she said.
Zaitouna said there were many chances for the regime to open dialogue with the Syrian people and to stop the deadly crackdown, but now it might be too late.
'I don't know if [the Assad regime has] even decided to start a dialogue in the future [and] if the people will agree [to one] after all this blood, after all these people who got killed by the security [forces]," she said.
Al Jazeera cannot verify reports from Syria because of restrictions placed on reporting by the Syrian government.
The death toll in Friday's anti-government protests rose to 47, according to Insan, a Syrian human rights organisation which has gathered the names of those killed.
Earlier in Homs, a witness told Al Jazeera that security forces opened fire on mourners and shot into the air to disperse crowds leaving the Grand Mosque, but left the scene, retreating in tanks as the size of the funeral procession overwhelmed them.
He said that the massive procession converged from funerals at various mosques around the city.
"When we gather in large numbers we show our power. As individuals we are strong, but this is a stronger message," the witness told Al Jazeera. "We encouraged people to join us on this funeral march and people of all backgrounds and religions did."
The size of Saturday's crowd could offer a hint as to the level of grassroots support for anti-government protests which have been ongoing since mid-March, and have reportedly seen the deaths of over 850 Syrians at the hands of government security forces.

Is Nielsen Losing to ComScore When It Comes to Counting Online Viewers?
For 66 years, the Nielsen ratings have been the go-to tool for advertisers and television networks.
And, per an Oct. 23rd, 2015 report in The Hollywood Reporter (the source for the illustration above), Neilsen still dwarfs all competitors in revenue and number of employees.
Nielsen is a legacy business. Almost since the birth of network television, Neilsen's "overnights" have been considered the gold standard for how many viewers were actually seeing a TV ad - and therefore how much money would change hands (the ad rates) for airing broadcast TV commercials in particular broadcast timeslots.
According to an April 26th, 2016 report in TheWrap, the era of Nielsen dominance may be ending.
"Last month, comScore (newly powerful, having merged with competitor Rentrak in Sept. of 2015) delivered its first ratings across digital and TV platforms. "We believe that the future belongs to comScore," comScore President Bill Livek told TheWrap. Unlike Nielsen, which centers its data around age and gender, comScore provides much richer information, Livek maintained. Nielsen extrapolates its ratings from thousands of households that agree to have "people meters" measure their viewing habits. But comScore data comes from 40 million set-top boxes that cable operators include without most customers even knowing they're there. ComScore combines that household data with demographic details about consumer behavior. And comScore performs better in areas where Nielsen is weak, according to critics, including measurement of local markets, cross-platform viewing, behavioral consumption habits, and lower-rated networks."The other guys are currency around age and sex, we're the currency around how people buy products," [comScore's Bill Livek] said. "You can target [ad buys] a whole lot better and more efficiently.""
How Neglected Independent Films (Released Under a Broken Theatrical Model) Inspired Beyoncé's 'Lemonade'
Reading the reviews in Indiewire and the New York Times of Beyoncé's 'Lemonade' that premiered on HBO on Saturday April 23rd, 2016, it's possible to overlook the 65 minute film's roots in independent filmmaking.
In an April 26th, 2016 piece for The New Yorker, Richard Brody explores how the American system of publicizing independently-financed films has failed to support distinctive filmmakers - like Julie Dash - whose 1991 film "Daughters of the the Dust" was one of the inspirations for Beyoncé's 'Lemonade', a visual-album that is itself a fascinating piece of filmmaking.
As Richard Brody notes: "Part of the blame lies with critics—predominantly white critics—who paid no attention [to pioneering African-American woman Julie Dash, and indie films about the African-American experience like her Daughters of the Dust]. But part of the blame lies with a system of tacit complicity between critics and the industry that poses obstacles to the recognition of independent films."
Questions of real-life infidelity in Beyoncé's marriage seemed to dominate new reports - rather than the debt owed to indie filmmakers - when the music and the film of 'Lemonade' were released via the online streaming service Tidal (a company owned by Beyoncé's husband, Shawn "Jay Z" Carter) during the HBO premiere.
Initial reports suggested that after the HBO screening the only place to get 'Lemonade' would be on the subscription-based Tidal. But, as of April 25, 'Lemonade's' music and the film were also for sale on iTunes and Amazon. Amazon even has a preorder option available for a CD/DVD set, which will apparently include the "corresponding short film."
The platforms that are offering the film of 'Lemonade' are in themselves a fascinating story for anyone interested in monetization of non-studio content.
As is the enthusiastic response online - with users marketing 'Lemonade' through copious tweets:
Consider how in the past indie films struggled to get a one-week theatrical run in NY or LA - to merit a review in the leading papers and consideration for year-end awards.
To get a sense of how much Beyoncé might owe to prior filmmakers, take a look at the video below - put together by video essayist Nelson Carvajal - with excerpts from 'Lemonade' on the left set against excerpts from David Lynch's Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks,Terence Malick's The Tree of Life, Pipilotti Rist's video installation Ever Is Over All, Cameron Jamie's dance short Massage The History, Jonas Mekas' found footage and Terence Nance's An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty.
VIDEO ESSAY: Film Fidelity: Beyoncé's "Lemonade" from Nelson Carvajal on Vimeo.
Currently, there is still no way to stream the film of 'Lemonade' online without a Tidal subscription. And there have been no plans announced for a theatrical release...
The Making of a Sitcom Episode With Prince
"Prince rarely, if ever, lost his vision. That wasn't because he was a magical, otherworldly being; it was because he was rigorous, and generous, and he knew how to fight for what he wanted. It was a beautiful, constant fight. It was love."
Thanks to writer/producer Liz Meriwether for her sweet recollection (published online by Vulture April 26th, 2016) of working with Prince - and his dedication to craft - on an episode of New Girl.

Fire rips through popular Melbourne restaurant Donovans causing more than $400,000 worth of damage
- Fire at the St Kilda restaurant forced evacuation of 50 diners
- Owners Gail and Kevin Donovan have no idea how the fire started but have promised to rebuild it 'bigger and better'
- Comes after Melbourne's iconic Stokehouse restaurant was also destroyed by a fire in January this year
A fire has ripped through a popular inner Melbourne restaurant, forcing the evacuation of diners and causing more than $400,000 worth of damage.
About 50 people were enjoying dinner at Donovans Restaurant, St Kilda, when the fire broke out in its roof above the kitchen on Sunday evening.
Owners Gail and Kevin Donovan bought the restaurant in 1995.
'I have absolutely no idea how the fire started, it's completely bizarre,' Ms Donovan told the Herald Sun.

A fire ripped through Donovans restaurant on Sunday night forcing 50 diners to evacuate the building
Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB) firefighters said no one was injured and they were able bring it under control in 50 minutes.
They stopped it from spreading.
The damage bill is more than $400,000 and its cause is being investigated, A MFB statement said.
The site of Donovans was one of three original bathing houses built in 1920 on the St Kilda foreshore.
A passer-by reportedly spotted smoke coming from the restaurant's roof and alerted staff.
The fire has caused more than $400,000 worth of damage, Melbourne Fire Brigade said
Donovans is built on one of three original 1920 bathing houses on the St Kilda foreshore
Crowds gathered in the street around Donovans as smoke was seen overhead of the restaurant
Chef Andrew Craig said: 'We didn't even know it had happened until one of the wait staff saw the flames and smoke coming from outside the restaurant.'
Ms Donovan promised to rebuild her business and added: 'We love it and adore it, and hopefully the damage will all just be internal.'
MFB Commander Bruce Pickthall told 3AW radio: 'They're prepared to make Donovan's bigger and better than it was and thankfully St Kilda has still got one of its iconic buildings.
'It will come back. It will be trading in no time.'
The fire at Donovans comes after the iconic Stokehouse restaurant, on St Kilda beach, was also destroyed by a fire in January this year.
Around 200 customers were forced to flee and more than 70 firefighters battled for three hours to control the blaze.
