From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Martin Dressler comes a stunningly original new book set in a Connecticut town over one incredible summer night. The delicious cast of characters includes a band of teenage girls who break into homes and simply leave notes reading "We Are Your Daughters," a young woman who meets a phantom lover on the tree swing in her back yard, a beautiful mannequin who steps down from her department store window, and all the dolls "no longer believed in," left abandoned in the attic, who magically come to life.
With each new book, Steven Millhauser radically stretches not only the limits of fiction but also of his seemingly limitless abilities. Enchanted Night is a remarkable piece of fiction, a compact tale of loneliness and desire that is as hypnotic and rich as the language Millhauser uses to weave it.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
In novels such as Edwin Mullhouse and the Pulitzer Prize-winning Martin Dressler, Steven Millhauser conjured fictions as intricate and delicately formed as soap bubbles. True to form, his Enchanted Night seems to want to float right up out of the reader's hand. In its pages are many of Millhauser's trademark fascinations: dolls; mannequins; an obsessed artist; teenage girls meeting secretly at night; and above all, the strangeness lurking just under the surface of everyday life. Set entirely over the course of one night, Enchanted Night follows the denizens of a Connecticut town as they rise from their beds under the light of a brilliant, almost-full moon. Fourteen-year-old Laura Engstrom wakes to a restlessness so fierce that "if she doesn't do something right away, this second, she'll scream." Middle-aged Haverstraw (who still lives with his mother) writes for hours in the attic, then leaves to wander the streets. Janet Manning trysts with a lover in her yard, and a band of teenage girls breaks into houses only to leave behind the cryptic message "WE ARE YOUR DAUGHTERS." Meanwhile, more magical events are afoot. "This is the night of revelation. This is the night the dolls wake. This is the night of the dreamer in the attic. This is the night of the piper in the woods," a chorus of night voices tells us--and a mannequin begins to stir behind a store window, while all over town, abandoned dolls and stuffed animals come slowly to life.
So far, so good. But somewhere along the way, the fairy dust gets a little thick. Is it the chapter in which the moon goddess ravishes virginal Danny? ("Now she strokes the skin of the sleeping one, now she kisses his eyelids closed in dream, now she stiffens his love-lance with her hand.") Or perhaps the appearance of Pan, "a moon-dancer, a flute-dreamer" making music for the town's children? How about the "Song of the One-Eyed Cuddly Bear" chapter, which reads, in its entirety, "I wuv woo. Does woo wuv me?" The only real danger posed in this wispy novella--"the man with shiny black hair" who stalks Laura in order to add her to his "gallery"--is not actually a threat, we're assured. Millhauser even reduces his bold girl outlaws, with their "pleasure in violation," to sipping midnight lemonade with their victim. And what, really, is magic without danger? Decoration, mostly, though there's nothing particularly wrong with that--just nothing particularly urgent either. None of which is to say that there aren't moments of startling beauty in Enchanted Night. There is no stylist more graceful than Millhauser at his best, and here he writes movingly about the formless yearnings of adolescence and the mortal sweetness of sex. Yet even the prose can't quite animate his novella. In the end, Enchanted Night is a rarefied aesthetic experience that asks for very little back. --Mary ParkFrom the Back Cover:
"Moonlit, entrancing. . . . [Millhauser is] master of a prose that doesn't merely aspire to the condition of music but actually achieves it." --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World
"Writing in tableaux as concise as magic spells . . . Millhauser is at his poetic best." -- Los Angeles Times
"Lovely . . . a mini-opera. . . . the collective dramas that make up [ Enchanted Night] are strikingly aural, visual and emblematic. . . . [Millhauser's] prose remains consistently sensual and rhythmic, alive with color." -- Newsday
" Enchanted Night feels teeming, complete and note perfect." -- Chicago Tribune

Savonlinna Opera Festival
Every year in July since 1912, Savonlinna plays host to what has become the world-renowned Savonlinna Opera Festival. The festival, which lasts a month, attracts huge crowds, and tickets can be quite expensive. I don't like opera, but to give you an idea of the festival's popularity, the 2006 show featuring former Nightwish singer Tarja Turunen was sold out over 7 months in advance.
What makes the festival so special is its location: medieval Olavinlinna Castle (see my Things to Do section for more details) provides a dramatic backdrop to the opera shows.
Even if you are not interested in opera, it is wise to know about the Opera Festival because you will have to book your accommodations well in advance if you plan on going to Savonlinna in July.
The Savonlinna Opera Festival office is located at Olavinkatu 27. Tickets can be purchased through Lippupalvelu at +358 600 10 800 or +358 600 10 020.

Auditor: Wait till September
for Sunshine audit request
WARREN – The Ohio Auditor's Office says it will wait until September before deciding on a request to audit Sunshine of Warren Trumbull Inc. and the Warren Redevelopment and Planning Corp.

Matt Mullins, liquor control spokesman, said Monday the decision was made last week to let Joe Sankey Jr. keep the license in "temporary closing authority" because Sankey's in the process of selling the building, contents and property.
Sankey put the permit on the shelf temporarily after he voluntarily closed the bar in downtown Warren in January following a fatal shooting there during a New Year's celebration. The 180-day term expired July 1.
Meanwhile, a hearing on liquor license violations filed against the company that operated as the now-closed Sunset has been postponed, according to the Ohio Liquor Control Commission. The hearing will be reset sometime in the next three months.
Hubbard Township
proceeds with levy
HUBBARD TOWNSHIP – Trustees have approved placing a 1.75-mill, three-year police renewal levy on the Nov. 5 general election ballot.

She said with the renewal, there is no increase in taxes.
Former state rep
eyes Congress seat
A former state representative filed Monday to run for Congress in the 6th District, which includes the southern portion of Mahoning County.
Jennifer Garrison, a Democrat, plans to hold events today in Marietta and in Canfield to announce her candidacy.
Garrison represented Ohio's 93rd District from 2004 to 2010 in the Ohio House. Afterward, she founded the Southeastern Ohio Landowners Association, which helped landowners negotiate natural gas and oil mineral leases.
The winding congressional district along the Ohio River is represented by Republican Bill Johnson. Garrison will have to win the party nomination before challenging Johnson, who likely will be unopposed in the primary.

Legislator to discuss earthquake study
WARREN – Following last week's release of a report linking the natural gas and oil drilling industry to seismic activity, state Rep. Robert Hagan this morning is scheduled to discuss the findings with Joel Riley of news radio 610 WTVN in Columbus.
The study, released Friday by Science Magazine, indicates that "injection-induced earthquakes," such as those that struck in 2011, clearly contribute to the seismic hazard. The report also indicates that hydraulic fracturing has been known to induce "microearthquakes," or those with magnitudes below 2, and which pose a low risk of inducing destructive earthquakes.
"There is no harm in slowing down to examine scientific research to see what we can do better in our state," said Hagan, D-Youngstown. "We are at the forefront of oil and gas exploration in Ohio; there's no reason our safety and regulatory practices shouldn't be cutting-edge as well."
Hagan is expected to discuss the issue at 8:30 a.m. on the Columbus-based talk radio station.

The buzz surrounding East African geothermal energy has been increasing in recent years . Although Kenya is the clear 'leader of the pack'; Ethiopia, Rwanda, Tanzania and now Djibouti are all taking steps to harvest the, as of yet un derdeveloped , power resource. T he potential is undeniably huge, and if successfully developed could significantly boost social and economic growth and help to ensure long-term energy security in the region. That said, a lthough the industry is receiving a great deal of support from development banks and other international organisations, we believe that funding insecurity remains a key risk and could hinder the sector's development in the short-to-medium term.
News that Djibouti is in talks with the World Bank (WB) to discuss plans to begin geothermal energy exploration in the country adds to the growing list of countries in t he East African region that are hoping to exploit the untapped geothermal potential in the Great Rift Valley. The negotiations , which took place in April 2013, were reportedly concerning a loan from the WB to fund geothermal projects in Djibouti.
The Great Rift Valley in East Africa is tectonically active , with high enthalpy levels suitable for geothermal electricity generation. Some experts believe there could be up to 15GW of geoth ermal potential available to exploit across the region (with some countries having more than others - as highlighted by the map) . However, at present only Kenya and Ethiopia have installed geothermal capacity (170M W in Kenya and 7MW in Ethiopia , according to EIA data from 2010 ).
|Abundant Potential
|East African Geothermal Resources
Geothermal: An Attractive Resource
On paper, geothermal energy is hugely attractive, especially for a region that is currently relying on costly thermal imports and weather-dependent hydropower to meet its electricity demand . Furthermore, this demand is set to increase rapidly over the coming decade, spurred on by positive macroeconomic and demographic fundamentals and progresses with electrification rates (which are currently dismally low). The East African power sector in general is suffering acutely from inefficiencies and a lack of investment, and developing domestic geothermal power would no doubt boost energy security , whilst helping to support economic and social development.
The benefits of geothermal energy are numerous: it generates a reliable, indigenous 'base-load' energy supply and it is cost-effective in the long-term thanks to the high levels of natural potential present in the Rift Valley. As such, it is understandable that so many countries in the region are turning to the resource ( see our online service, November 22 2012, 'KenGen Remains Focused On Geothermal', April 8 2013, 'Geothermal Pilot Project Highlights Rift Valley Appeal' and February 18 2013, 'Breaking Ground For Geothermal' ).
The industry is also receiving a great deal of support from development banks and international financial institution s, which view the exploitation of geothermal as a crucia l element in combating poverty . For example, the UNEP has implemented a programme called the 'African Rift Geothermal Facility' (ARGeo), which has been initiated in six countries (Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania), to help encourage development within the sector. By providing services such as knowledge sharing databases, technical assistance and risk minimisation policy frameworks, it aims to facilitate investment for geothermal projects. In addition to this, the WB and the AfDB have been providing ongoing funding support for exploration projects, and we expect them to continue to play a key role in the development of the region's renewables sector going forward.
Risks To Limit Potential
Despite the vast natural resources and the ongoing support from external financers, we still flag funding insecurity as a pertinent risk. Geothermal is certainly economically viable in the longer term, however start up-costs are notably high and we have witnessed delays with numerous projects over the last year.
Experience from Kenya indicates that several different parties need to work in conjunction with one another to support projects, such as the government, utilities, project sponsors and adevelopment institutions, to ensure that the risks to the projects are spread across a bigger variety of participants.

Random Discussion Thread
Bring up random topics for discussion. Made for the two people who think it's something that we should have here.
You can go ahead and start it. I'm blank at the moment. :hmm:
Wow, uhh... this is more vague than I imagined. o_O
So, how was everyone's day? =P Mine sucked, as usual.
I enjoy Xfire~
They're Grrrrrrrreat!
I wouldn't mind chatting with some people on LT while I'm playing DFO, or vice versa.
Thanksgiving coming up, that means..... FOOD!
Been busy with school and dont have the energy to work on photoshop stuff.
On the subject of school, what grade/year are you guys?
I'm Junior year in College btw.
Sophomore in high school. =P Could be better than it is so far...
Oh, and food FTW!
:py01::py01::py01::py01::py01::py01::py01::py01::p y01::py01::py01::py01:
:py45: *spacing out* :py22:
Does anyone have a thought of abandon Royalty for a higher rank guild(which is stupid) or for the evasion/acc. from chaos/order?
I do :py56:
I really want to quit Royalty and join a chaos guild for its' bonus(evasion) but lol... *sigh*
I don't want to ditch Dave and i like the people in the guild. :py22:
I dont notice any difference on my char with the bonuses...
I like the guild. Almost 1st anniversery since the day i joined the guild (Nov.24 2008).
Wow it's been almost a year already. o_O I started the game on Thanksgiving, joined the guild on Dec. 1.
We should do something special for our 1 year anniversary! =O
yay parties~! <3 is there cake? =DD
thanksgiving is going to suck so much for me omg. My parents invited this family we're close to. except said family is already going somewhere else for thanksgiving. turns out only the oldest guy is coming to our place. he's 24, 25? AND MY PARENTS ARE FIXATED WITH THE IDEA THAT ME MARRYING HIM WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA =_=; 8year age difference and the fact that i haven't spoken more than a paragraph to him in 10 years doesn't mean anything apparently D<
LOL That's gonna be so awkward Liri! xD
Tell your parents that you aren't into incest. If they don't care, refuse.
It's not really incest if it's not within your immediate family.
I never said it was incest o-o just awkward D<
awkward turtle~!
liri just fried her brain studying physics for 3 hours D: ohhiisthatmybrainonthefloor?
Anyway... who studies? Not this Roboto, that's for sure! I don't even do my homework at home anymore.
At the risk of turning this into a twitter <- (most fail thing in the world in my opinion) thread.... *too many letters I guess, but w/e*
Indecisive Insomnia is the worst.
I'm too tired/lazy to up and start mining, although I said I wanted to, but I can't sleep. It's like being half awake, but without that tiny bit of oomph to go to sleep.
Pink Panda (at least I think it is) is back in the game, and I REALLY want one. It's kind of like how people want fashion because it appeals to them. I just really like that pet even if it does have crit damage on it. I'm still kind of miffed about why I don't already have one. (Buying a Minebot while it was still in ladeck instead of a panda first and then not getting to buy my panda because my seller sold it *cough*>_> *cough* and then Panda being taken out of the game for MONTHS and Minebots being placed into the FASHION SHOP for everyone and their grandma to get. ;;;...)
*** This is the part where I make discussion ***
How do you get to sleep? Falling asleep when you're tired kind of falls under exhaustion at a certain point.
I'll post more when I think of something to say..
I normally don't have trouble falling asleep, though it does take me a couple minutes of rolling around to find a comfy spot.
When I do get insomnia( though very rarely), I tend to take a shower before I go to sleep, helps relax the body for me~. And if that doesn't work....i guess i count the spots on my ceiling =/
LOl:py12: -..."For everyone and their grandma to get." :py01:
My Thanksgiving break is coming up starting next Wednesday. I'll have a lot of time on my hands, maybe jump on LT for a bit. :py55:
Also, did anyone else see the movie 2012 yet? I'd recall it as a "good movie". (quotations used, because it's hard to actually find a good movie nowadays ])
I saw 2012, it was atleast better the "the box" I waited in line around 11:30 pm for the last showing for 2012 it was sold out :< so we decided to watch the box. LAME it was. so i wasn't satisfied and watched 2012 the next day, pretty good in my point of view.
THANKSGIVING <3 means BLACK FRIDAY means MAJOR DISCOUNT means MALL <3
Can't forget food also :D
I've been hearing 2012 is a good movie. This makes me want to see it.
It just dawned on me a little while ago about Thanksgiving and Black Friday and such. I wish I had some cash to spend on cheap stuff.. :py56:
Anyone have plans for Thanksgiving? Well, aside from eating and falling asleep. lol
I'm thinking I might go out with friends since they'll be in town.
I fall asleep when my internal clock says so. I can't simply "go to bed" and not expect to be staring at my ceiling for an hour before I finally fall asleep. I guess I'm a guy of old habits. >_>
Insomnia never gets me, really. If I'm tired and actually go to bed, I fall asleep within seconds.
And yeah Saph I remember that whole issue with the Pink panda xD.
Thanksgiving= Food, food, Black Friday, food, 5-day weekend, and food.
Oh, and let's not forget Royalty's 1-year anniversary! ^_^

Recent reviews
Outstanding 4.6 /5 from 900 reviews
After having just a terrible experience at another hotel about 15 minutes away the staff here were super friendly. They upgraded us after hearing about how the other hotel treated us and the room was amazing, clean, free toiletries, huge bathroom, nice shower, big soaker bath, king size bed and living area. This was the best place we stayed our entire two week trip in Europe (Paris, London and Rome were our other stops) easy access to the beach, hotel lounge and get this....while we stayed there we ran into celebrities that were on tour! AMAZING HOTEL AND GREAT STAFF!!!!
staff was outstanding. courteous and helpful
Beautiful hotel with friendly professional and helpful staff.
Great hotel - helpful and friendly staff, large rooms. The neighborhood is fine - safe and walkable - but we ended up spending our time for site seeing and dinners a distance from the hotel. Still walkable, but not as close as many might prefer. Cabs are easily accessible and the subway stop isn't far, but not the 'best' location if you want to be able to walk out the door and be in the heart of the shopping/restaurant areas. We'd consider the hotel again but we'd probably look for something better located.
Despite we booked a month ago for three persons, the third bed was not there when we checked in, and when we called they said we will bring it in after 2 hours!!
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Lindbeck Campaign's First Ad Outlines Case Against Don Young
The ad, titled "Reasons," highlights several of the reasons that Steve Lindbeck is running for Congress against Don Young – including Young's well-documented history of doing favors for big donors, and his lengthy ties to Louisiana-based Edison Chouest Offshore, the company taking over tugboat operations in Prince William Sound that could lead to 200 Alaska jobs being outsourced to Louisiana workers.
"I don't think our congressman should be caught by the FBI
doing favors for big contributors."
Lindbeck makes a strong case for change pointing out that Young refused to get involved in a tugboat contract to his top donor Edison Chouest Offshore – which could outsource 200 Alaska jobs to Louisiana workers. "The Don Young of 40 years ago would have fought like hell for those jobs," says Lindbeck. "I will."
"It's time for leadership that always puts Alaska first," said Lindbeck. "I'll be a strong supporter of our oil and gas economy to fill our pipeline and strengthen our state – but I'm also willing to ask the tough questions to stand up for Alaska jobs and the safety of Prince William Sound. Congressman Young has shown he is more interested in speaking up on behalf of his biggest contributors than doing what's right for Alaska."
Lindbeck has called for greater scrutiny of Young's repeated ethics troubles – most recently a revelation that he failed for decades to disclose ownership of California land leased to oil & gas companies that sold for up to half a million dollars. Lindbeck has also questioned why Young pushed the U.S. Coast Guard during a Congressional hearing to lease an Edison Chouest vessel – while staying silent on the Chouest contract in Prince William Sound, which also falls under the purview of the U.S. Coast Guard. Chouest employees and family members have donated over $300,000 to Young over the past five elections cycles.
Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP): Expanded Corporate Power, Lower Wages, Unsafe Food Imports
Have you heard? The TPP is a massive, controversial, pro-corporate "free trade" agreement among the United States and 11 other countries – Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam. Although it is called a "trade" agreement, the TPP is not mainly about trade. Of TPP's 30 chapters, only six deal with traditional trade issues.
The TPP comes from 500 official U.S. trade advisors representing corporate interests involved in years of closed-door negotiations while the public, press and Congress were locked out. At the heart of the TPP are new rights for thousands of corporations to sue the U.S. government before a panel of three corporate lawyers that can award unlimited sums, including for loss of future expected profits, to be paid by American taxpayers when the corporations claim U.S. policies violate the new entitlements the TPP would provide them.

Latest Jones Act Attack Repelled in House
The latest attack on the Jones Act was thwarted late June 8 when the House Rules Committee determined an amendment to eliminate the Jones Act from trade with Puerto Rico was not germane for the current bill before the House to aid the financial situation for the U.S. commonwealth.
"As the facts have clearly shown, the Jones Act does not in any way have anything to do with the unfortunate financial situation before the citizens of Puerto Rico," he added. "This amendment was simply the latest attempt by the enemies of U.S.-flag shipping to constrain decent American seafaring, shipbuilding and transportation jobs. We have weathered these fights for generations, and will remain vigilant for future attacks." Read more.
