Guessed authors - shadows of echoes of memories of songs
12:18 pm July 4th, 2005
Guessed authors
It's my mum's birthday in August, and she usually has a book wish-list which she gives to my dad, my sister and me in case we can't think of anything else to buy her. Now while I don't really mind buying stuff off the list, a) it seems a bit daft given that she's quite happy to buy them for herself anyway, and b) there's always a lot of faff between the three of us as to who buys what, sometimes resulting in duplicate copies. I'd quite like to get her something that she wouldn't buy for herself, i.e. something she might not even know exists, but should like anyway.
So, knowing that there are a fair few SF/Fantasy geeks reading this, I'm turning to you guys for help. Things I know she has read and enjoyed recently:
[edited to include suggestions that I know she's already got/read]
Pratchett (funny how it's always the obvious ones you forget to mention)
Katherine Kerr (? I think she's got some of these)
Julia Gray, The Guardian Cycle series
Guy Gavriel Kay, pretty much everything AFAICT
Robin Hobb, "Assassin" / "Fool" series
"Bridget Jones" :-)
Can anybody recommend anything that someone who's liked all these might enjoy? (Apologies in advance if I end up saying "I think she's got/read that", I can't remember everything that's on her shelves...) Ideally I want to avoid authors she's already buying everything by, because it's just too easy to duplicate stuff.
NB it doesn't have to be Fantasy (you know I don't really do genre anyway!) but she doesn't read that much SF and I've not had that much success finding non-genre things that she likes... at least, I lent her a huge stack of books a while ago and she wasn't wildly enthusiastic about any of them. Open to suggestions, though.

I'd never heard of author or title until now, but if the review/summary on Amazon is accurate, it sounds fantastic! Suspect this is one for me to read anyway (and buy a copy for my mum if I think she'll like it too).
BTW, um, those Georgette Heyer books... [looks sheepish] ... there was faff, & I didn't have an address for you, but mostly there was just faff, & I'm sorry. I do still have them, and if you email me an address, I'll post them to you -- will pay postage ('printed paper' will be cheapish anyway) for the sake of giving them a good home & gaining the space in the library. :-)

The name rings a bell, which may just mean that other people have mentioned her or may mean my mum's already got some... Sounds good, though, so I will try to sneak a peek at bookshelves (or ask my dad to do so).

Lois Bujold? I hear a lot of good things about her stuff even if I've not got round to reading it myself yet.
From: keirf Date: July 4th, 2005 02:40 pm (UTC) (Link)
I found Lois McMaster Bujold irritating. Combined the worst traits of EE Doc Smith and Asimov.

Wizard of the Pigeons is Megan Lindholm's (Robin Hobb's less famous name!) most consistently recommended book. And, well, I enjoyed it…
From: j4 Date: July 4th, 2005 04:01 pm (UTC) (Link)
ISTR sion_a said he hadn't been too keen on the Lindholm he'd read (which may not have been that one), but will look into it, thanks.

I'll recommend the earlier Mercedes Lackey stuff - Oathbound/Oathbreakers, Arrows of the Queen/Arrow's Flight/Arrow's Fall. After that she starts writing too many angsty gayboys. (I have nothing in principle against angsty gayboys, but Vanyel Ashkevron is such a stereotype!)
From: bibliogirl Date: July 4th, 2005 02:11 pm (UTC) (Link)
Actually, you could always try her on some of the non-Valdemar Lackey, too -- the recent stuff like _Gates of Sleep_ is quite fun, as is _Fairy Godmother_. I mean, we're not talking deep literature here, but still entertaining.

I *heart* Diane Wynne Jones (and she has written so much stuff that you can probably find something she doesn't already have without too much effort too, Amazon marketplace is good for out of print stuff).
On the grounds that anyone else who loves DWJ might also love other things I love, I also love Ursula Le Guin. Not that the styles are the same in any way, I think it is more to do with intelligent, well written stuff not about 'real life'. The Earthsea stuff is her most fantasy, least sci fi, work but also what she's most likely to have already come across. Maybe she hasn't already found things like 'Worlds of Exile and Illusion' 'The Left Hand of Darkness' 'The Lathe of Heaven' or 'The Dispossessed' though?
From: j4 Date: July 4th, 2005 02:21 pm (UTC) (Link)
I'm afraid she's already got all the Le Guin I'd be likely to be able to find... and I thought "The Left Hand of Darkness" was required reading for anybody who claimed to have ever read SF/Fantasy (or is that just in Cambridge?) ;-)
There may be some DWJ she doesn't have but I know she just got rid of "Howl's Moving Castle" and, um, another one (in the same series? Looked like, anyway...) on the grounds that she probably wouldn't bother reading them a second time, so I suspect I may have mined that seam to the limit.
From: vinaigrettegirl Date: July 4th, 2005 02:21 pm (UTC) (Link)
totally off, but
She might really like David Nobbs's "Going Gently" (he's the originator of Reginald Perrin, amongst other things). It's a very lively and satisfying read, and as it includes humour, elements of fantasy and the surreal, more than one wise woman, and insight, it might be a memorable birthday book.
She might also like "Notes from Overground" ('Man is born free but is everywhere in trains'), by 'Tiresias', which is fantastically funny and can be returned-to over and over again.
From: j4 Date: July 4th, 2005 04:04 pm (UTC) (Link)
Re: totally off, but
"Notes from Overground" sounds fantastic, definitely one for me if not for her... I should ask for recommendations for other people more often! (Not that I actually need to lengthen my reading list any, but hey ho.)
Not sure about the Nobbs book (for reasons I can't quite put my finger on), but I'll have a look. Thanks for the suggestions.

Ooh, yes, possibly. I started reading one of them & it didn't really wow me, but it looked quite good fun, so I might have another look with a view to "will she like this?" rather than "do I like this enough to bother reading it given that I have a zillion other things to read as well?" IYSWIM. :-)

Lyndon Hardy's Master of the Five Magics et seq (two others whose precise titles I forget, although their numerical parts follow on from five).
Katherine Kurtz's Deryni novels.
Ardath Mayhar - Khi To Freedom and others.
Patricia C. Wrede - Talking to Dragons and its related works are fairly light-hearted, the other stuff rather less so.
PC Hodgell - God Stalk et seq. (Though laying hands on God Stalk itself may be Hard :/ )
(Pretty much everything I'm mentioning is off my mother's bookshelves.)
From: borusa Date: July 4th, 2005 02:30 pm (UTC) (Link)
"Secret of the Sixth" and "Riddle Of The Seven Realms", I believe. I loved Master of the Five, but the sequels were a bit disappointing and quite frankly awful, respectively.

I've got books by about 2/3 of that list and would add the following (some of which I know other people have said, but I may as well add a vote or two):
* Lois McMaster Bujold (especially Shards of Honor & Barrayar, sometimes sold in one book as Cordelia's Honor)
* Ursula Le Guin (especially The Left Hand of Darkness, because it is excellent and everyone should read it)
* Vernor Vinge: A Fire Upon The Deep or A Deepness In The Sky as a first one, I was less enthralled by Across Realtime although it is still good.
* Jenny Crusie, who's definitely Not SF or fantasy, but more like Georgette Heyer except set *now* rather than in costume drama. And makes me laugh a lot.
From: j4 Date: July 4th, 2005 02:42 pm (UTC) (Link)
Bujold and Duane are looking like the top of the list so far...
I utterly loathed "A Fire Upon the Deep", I'm afraid, so I really don't think I could wish it on anybody else!
Never heard of Jenny Crusie, but will investigate -- thanks.

Is she much on the historical stuff? I very much enjoyed 'Quicksilver' by Neal Stephenson which is sort of, er, historical-fantasy-epic, er... I dunno, I enjoyed it in the same sort of way as I enjoy fantasy, because he has this richly detailed & enormously complicated world to get engrossed in. So your mum might like it too.

I've seen others have already mentioned George R R Martin and Diane Duane, who I'll second, but what about...
Katherine Kerr - Deverry series
James Patterson (mostly writes crime / mystery type fiction - although his latest is, shockingly, Mills and Boon-esque!) The Lake House, which is fairly fantasy-based.
James Clemens, the Wit'ch series (Banned and the Banished - 5 books), which are engrossing once you get past the apostrophe-itis.
I've found that a lot of people I know with similar tastes in fantasy to myself have enjoyed a lot of crime/murder mystery authors - in particular ottah, beckyl and myself are pretty much consistently enjoying the same books.
From: j4 Date: July 4th, 2005 03:51 pm (UTC) (Link)
Hm, my mum's not too keen on crime/murder mystery -- she used to read Agatha Christie and Margery Allingham but seems to have gone off the whole genre a bit in recent years.
I think she's got some Terry Goodkind and Katherine Kerr, but will check.
Sorry to be awkward! :)
Oh, and the Clemens sounds interesting -- she managed to read a lot of David Eddings so I suspect she can cope with apostrophes. ;-)

To add my own tiny voice:
1) the last book that really blew me away was "The Light Ages" by Iain MacLeod - "alternative England" with Fifth Element and lots of industrial-Age griminess. The sequel is a bit of a mess, though.
Though I haven't read it myself, I am led to believe Perdita (?) Street Station by China Mieville is very good in the same vein.
ii) Aberwyswyth Mon Amour by Malcolm Pryce - very, very funny Raymond Chandler spoof set in south Wales.
iii) anything by Neil Gaiman (but then I'm sure you knew that already)
iv) "Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell" by Susanna Clarke - weighty but ultimately rewarding (more alternative Englandery, this time with explicit magic, and jane Austen period setting). And if you get bore of it, it makes a very good brick.
v) Iain Banks - always reliable. The Crow Road is probably the best start-point of the non-genre...

Weather 11th October 2016 – Los Cristianos/Las Americas	Posted on October 11, 2016	by Red Queen's Musings The rain we were expecting yesterday never arrived and the forecast has been revised suggesting we could see some light showers midweek with heavier rain this weekend. As I write though, that doesn´t seem to be backed up by the view from my window. The sky is a delicate shade of blue, not a cloud in sight and the sun is sparkling on the sea, and although it is still early, it is already 20°C
Yesterday was a bit mixed, although there was plenty of sunshine, there was also a lot of cloud and whilst for the most part temperatures hovered around 25°C, come teatime I had to close the windows to stop the cold drifting into the house.

Outstanding - Review of Outrigger Beach Resort, Fort Myers Beach, FL - TripAdvisor
“Awesome stay in May 2014!!!”
“Love, Love Love!!!!”
“Awesome.. love it..love it.”
“Beach is so worth it”
“Beach Vacation at a very nice place”
Outstanding - Outrigger Beach Resort
We stayed at the Outrigger for 3 nights (5/21-5/24, 2014) and loved it!!! We upgraded to a balcony-well worth it. Don't think I would have liked it otherwise-.money well spent. It was wonderful. The beachfront was super! Everything we wanted was right there...breakfast buffet, pool, massive white sand beach, cafe, tiki-bar, entertainment, friendly, helpful staff, discount savings coupons on drinks, etc. We did NOT even leave resort to visit Sanibel Island as we had planed because we were enjoying the Outrigger SO much!. Room was great, glad we went for oceanfront!
Room Tip: Go with the oceanfront

The Perfect Oasis :-)
I'm gonna start out with ...WOW !!! Everything about this place is wonderful from the staff to the food to the Tiki bar to the Ocean Front room. The beach front view was simply incredible ! The soft cool white sand that ran the horizon with the beautiful blue waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
We randomly picked The Outrigger off of the internet for our honeymoon.We stayed here for 6 nights, We were apprehensive but wanted a first floor beach front room. I kept telling the fiance' (now hubby) that I wanted to open the door and be able to put my feet in the sand. Literally, it was just that :-) Upon arrival, we were greeted by a two ladies that were very nice and extremely helpful (cuz we arrived a lil early) and they were able to get us in a room right away. The entire staff here was always gracious and friendly. i call this "The Perfect Oasis" because it does have everything you need. You never have to leave the resort whether are looking for food, beverages, entertainment, a quiet place,or conversation with the locals or other travelers. Be sure to book a Beach front room...it sooooo worth it !!!
Thanks for the champagne and card,
Jodie and Brad Burton
Ask Jodie S about Outrigger Beach Resort
This Fort Myers beach front resort, has it all! No rental car needed.
The Outrigger Beach Resort is a beautifully situated resort on Fort Myers beach. There is a delightful pool to swim in if the warm gulf waters are not your style. The rooms are clean and comfortable and all have a good view. The grounds are beautifully tended and cleaned.
The deckside restaurant has great food, beer and wine for a great price. I had the buffet breakfast every morning which was $9.00. If this is too much, there is a breakfast menu to choose from. One day I ordered the fried fish (fish & Chips) for $11.00, It came with two nice sized, whole fish fillets and fries, and I couldn't finish it all. One night I had the Crispy Grouper which was just delicious! You can eat inside or outside.
If you want something stronger than the beer and wine that the restaurant offers you can order a drink from their tiki bar. The tiki bar has a small stage next to it, and there was live entertainment every night. The bar closes at 10:00 so it is not too noisy to get a good nights sleep and start your day early.
One day we took the trolley, the fare is fifity cents, to the north end of Ft. Myers beach and shopped. We also took the trolley to the Santini Plaza Marina, where we went on a tour and saw many Dolphins, as well as two Manatees, in Estero Bay. They have every water sport imaginable within walking distance or you can take the trolley. The resort rents bicycles which were a lot of fun to ride especially on the beach.
Some of my favorite moments were my morning walks on the beach to collect shells, the island breeze that kept you cool even when it was hot, sitting at the tiki bar listening to good music, and watching the sunset each night over the gulf.
My favorite experience happened at sunset, where I witnessed an unpracticed, impromptu event that occured every night, almost a spiritual experience. Each night as the sun set, at the moment the sun disappeared below the horizon, everyone on the beach and at the tiki bar, applauded and cheered as if it were the last curtain call of a great performance, thanking the sun for the great day it had given us.
Room Tip: The larger size standard is perfect for a couple or two friends. I only stayed here once, however I...
Ask gvallaro about Outrigger Beach Resort
4 Thank gvallaro
We were lucky to get in for just one night on our travels around the state. And, very lucky that the last room available had a beautiful ocean view! Beds are very comfortable, nice screened in balcony and very friendly staff. Also, there was a restaurant directly across the street which gave 10% off your meal because of staying at this hotel. I would definitely visit both places again.
I know this is a high end resort area, so I guess the price was in line with the area, but it was a little expensive. Only drawback that I can see to this lovely hotel.
Room Tip: Our room was an end room with gorgeous ocean view.
Ask Linda T about Outrigger Beach Resort
Amazing location! Great rooms!
You can't say enough good things about this location. Just far enough from fort myers beach tourist area-5 minute drive. It's perfect! The beach is steps from your room, pool is perfect, walk up bar and restaurant on site. We could have stayed in this location all week and have been happy. Cabana rentals are inexpensive and fantastic for beach days!
Ask Cashe311 about Outrigger Beach Resort
1 Thank Cashe311
I stayed at the Outrigger on May 4th for 5 days and was extremely pleased with my stay. My husband had made the reservations and had mentioned we were coming for our anniversary. Upon arrival, a complimentary bottle of champagne was waiting in the room. The staff at the Outrigger was exceptional! We needed batteries for the tv remote and mentioned it to one of the maids. She immediately got on her radio and called maintenance and within 5 minutes it was done and while he was there, he noticed a loose handle on the sliding glass door and quickly fixed that too.
The resort is located right on the beach and I highly recommend spending the extra money to stay in one of the beach side rooms. It was complete heaven! The tiki bar is located next to the pool and right off the beach. It isn't a "spring break" sort of place which was a relief. It is peaceful and fun at the same time. The sunsets are absolutely breathtaking!!
This is a MUST STAY if you are going to Ft. Myers!! Definitely will be back!
Room Tip: Choose the rooms on the beach side.

Ludo Bites ~ December 2007
Posted on December 20, 2007 by susan
Excuse the Ludo Bites count down but I just adore the food there and the fact that you can b.y.o.b. with no corkage. The combination of excellent food and no corkage is rare. So I returned this week, the last week of the event, with a few more friends.
We started off the night by popping off the cork on a shiraz and going to work on the bread basket with Echire butter. Our large cheese plate was served up shortly after featuring these pairings:
Epoisse (Cow) – honeycomb
Mimmolette (Cow) – pink grapefruit confit
Petit Basque (Sheep) – date puree and sea salt
Morbier (Cow) – toasted hazlenut paste, licorice
Le Cornilly (Goat) – spiced Prune

Ludo Bites, Again
Cherry tomato aigre-doux, rigatoncini pasta, poached lobster in tamarind butter
I went back Ludo Bites a few times since my post but haven’t written about any new subsequent dishes. And there are new dishes or little edits every week! My initial plan was to go eat there every week but unfortunately this did not come to fruition. But next week is the last week of Ludo Bites and a small panic set in. It’s been over a month since I ate there and I wanted to come back and see what was going on.
Bread, Cheese, Ludo Bites
Posted on October 7, 2007 by susan
Last week when Karina was in town she suggested a group dinner at Ludo Bites, a collaboration between Breadbar, Beverly Hills Cheese Store and Chef Ludovic Lefebvre. This sounded intriguing. I’ve never had Chef Ludo’s food before at L’Orangerie or Bastide, either being a poor student or a poor college graduate depending on what year it was. Dinner at Ludo Bites turned out to be an absolutely amazing night of food, fun and excitement. A night of beautiful quenelle of feta mousse over juicy and sweet heirloom tomatoes; an amazing spread of cheeses with equally amazing condiments most of which were made by Chef himself, especially the addicting pink grapefruit confit; chile spiked chocolate mousse; and so much more. Karina and Dawn both wrote great posts on this magical dinner with beautiful photos to accompany.

New England's History: June 2015
Posted by Jim Belshaw at 5:32 pm 7 comments: Links to this post
We know from the ethnographic record that the pattern of Aboriginal life across the broader New England on the dawn of invasion was varied and complex. The archaeological record suggests that this pattern began forming after sea levels stabilised around 6,000 years ago, with growth accelerating around 5,000 years ago.
New England’s history is dominated by geography. From east to west, the often narrow coastal strip ends in the rugged broken escarpments of those blue ranges that provide a constant visual backdrop to much of the coast. The New England Tablelands, the largest tablelands in Australia, declines to the west, becoming the Western Slopes and then falling away into the vast Western Plains.
Looking north-south, that pattern creates the broad zones we know today, coast, tablelands, slopes and plains, each marked by local variation.
Five thousand years ago, as today, travel was easier north-south than it was east-west. The Aborigines of the slopes and plains formed one very broad grouping, those on the coast another.
Petrology studies rocks. In early pioneering work, Ray Binns and Isabel McBryde used petrological analysis to trace Aboriginal ground-edge artefacts in multiple collections back to source. Their work revealed a widespread exchange network that carried artefacts from the stone quarry at Moore Creek near Tamworth north and especially west as far as the Darling River.
This was a remarkable result because of the distances involved, and suggesting that the patterns we know from ethnographic evidence formed early.
Binns and McBryde’s analysis also showed more limited exchange on the coast where suitable stone was widespread. However, there appeared to be almost no interconnection between either coast or Moore Creek and the Tablelands. Further, those major sites connected with the Tablelands such as Bendemeer or Graman are on the periphery.
So what, to use Iain Davidson phase, about that bit in the middle, the main Tablelands?
The evidence suggests that the Tablelands were a marchland area, with a relatively small resident population squeezed between the big coastal language groups whose territories extended into the headwaters of the coastal rivers and the large Kamilaroi language group extending along the Western Slopes.
Oral tradition, the ethnographic evidence and limited archaeological evidence all suggest seasonal movement between the coast and tablelands. Petrological evidence from the Salisbury Court axe factory shows a relatively limited local distribution, suggesting that it was important to a local resident group.
The central –southern Tablelands Nganyaywana (Anaiwan) language itself appears structurally related to the coastal languages, but is also very distinct, hinting that it diverged during a period of isolation.
One of the most interesting feature of the Tablelands is the presence of significant ceremonial sites, including the Serpentine stone arrangements p(icture). Some served local needs, but high country sites such as Serpentine clearly met broader needs.
There are hints in the evidence we have of the broader patterns that once existed. By combining all forms of evidence, we may yet be able to discover those patterns. It’s a tantalising prospect.

The internet is probably having the opposite effect - people find websites that already agree with them and filter out opposing viewpoints. ahem I'm kind of lazy right now so I'm just going to post the wikipedia thingy on group polarization.
permalink[–]Valgor 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago (1 child)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onThe examples provided in the article are from social websites, so you can be on twitter and not subscribe to pro-gay tweeters, but the point is: the amount of people in that group are very small. What people filter and how much they filter doesn't matter. Haters make up a small part of the Internet.
permalinkparent[–]doomybear 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted onWell, there's the other side of the coin - websites that are predominantly liberal are liable to vilify and denounce conservative opinions. Actually, I think it might be fair to say that large conservative movements aren't likely to surface on Twitter and Facebook.
Christian Mingle is a top 10 dating site, so I'm positing that the religious right would move to other social networking sites if they were 'viable.' Although I don't think they really care right now. Fox News, probably the largest single focal point for the religious right, seems kind of stuck on itself.
And now my profit senses are tingling. If only I wasn't so lazy...

Last minute in Merida
When I got to Merida, I looked for a hotel room available while I was walking around the main plaza. I found art57 on expedia and went directly to the hotel to book my overnight stay.
The hotel is small but super chic and charming. The rooms are clean, the front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
I would stay here again the next time I'm in Merida.

Lumb Beck is a lovely farmhouse b&b on the Moor above Ilkley and Addingham, we stayed in the original en-suite room with bath and over bath shower. The room was huge with a comfy double bed, and a single bed, antique furniture, tv and dvd - very suitable for both leisure and business traveller looking for a quiet place to stay, approx 10 mins from Ilkley, 15 mins to Skipton and near Leeds and Bradford. The hosts are very accomodating and friendly, the breakfast was absolutely delicious - great choice of fruits and cereal, proper coffee or tea and a fab aga cooked breakfast. Overall a great place to stay. The lane to the house is fairly narrow - but is well signposted. We will be returning to Lumb Beck!!!

This review is the subjective opinion of a TripAdvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. schoolsie
We have just returned from a four day stay at the Lumb Beck Farmhouse B and B in Addingham Moorside, near Ilkley, West Yorkshire. In 2006 it was awarded the Yorkshire Tourist Board's Silver Gilt award.Located about 1.5 miles up a long windy lane, the farmhouse enjoys beautiful views over the Yorkshire countryside. There are only two rooms available, but both are large with one double and one single bed in each room. Our room had large en-suite bathroom with a very efficient over-head shower in the bath. The room itself is decorated in traditional Edwardian style with antique dark wood furniture, two recliner chairs, tv, dvd, and the usual coffee/tea making facilities, as well as iron, ironing board, fridge, board games, electric blankets, water bottles etc etc! I can't imagine you would ever need the last two items as the luxury duvets must be at least 15 tog ( a bit too hot for a menopausal lady in the middle of August!). The host and hostess are genuine Yorkshire people who do absolutely everything to ensure your stay is perfect. The breakfasts are majestic...........the full English of course, complemented by homemade things such as peaches cooked in honey, and gently poached plums, plus fresh strawberries, raspberries, bananas, freshly squeezed orange juice, yogurt, cereals, porridge on request (lovely).......it was very fortunate we were playing golf every day and burning up all those calories!Wendy, the host, obviously enjoys sharing her lovely property with her appreciative guests. We were greeted on arrival by tea and yummy homemade cake in the summerhouse, and left with a beautiful yorkshire parkin cake to take home! The garden is also a delight, with interesting features at every turn. There was also a large plasma screen tv in the lounge available for those guests who cannot leave the outside world behind for a few days.We would definately return here another year. A first rate B and B in a beautiful location!
Liked — impeccable friendly service
Disliked — the road up to the farmhouse - very narrow

28 of Our Most Anticipated February YA Books - The B&N Teen Blog — The B&N Teen Blog
28 of Our Most Anticipated February YA Books
February may be the shortest month of the year, but there’s nothing lacking in its bookish offerings. Kicking off with some of the most anticipated new voices in YA, sprinkled with gorgeous releases from some already beloved voices, and ending with a collection of historical rainbow joy, it’s truly a month of magic both figurative and literal. Below, check out twenty-eight of the titles we’re most excited for, and treat yourself to a new book for every day of the month!
The Disturbed Girl’s Dictionary, by NoNieqa Ramos (February 1)
Macy’s dictionary is full of so many words that describe all the tough times she’s having right now, but the only one people want to label her with is “disturbed.” Never mind that she doesn’t feel safe even in her own home, with the guys her mom brings in and a regularly empty fridge. Never mind that her father’s in prison and her brother’s been taken by Child Protective Services. Never mind that her two best friends are all she has, and they have their own struggles. Ramos is a powerful new voice in YA that you won’t forget anytime soon.
The Belles, by Dhonielle Clayton (February 6)
Pause for a moment of cover admiration. Okay, now, let’s discuss one of the most highly anticipated fantasy YAs of ever, shall we? Camellia is a Belle, someone who controls beauty in the world of Orleans, where beauty reigns supreme. And she’s angling to be the top Belle, chosen by the queen to tend to the royal family and be accepted all over as the best. But when the Belles get to court, they see that in the palace of beauty, dark and ugly secrets have taken hold, and being top Belle is nothing like what she imagined it would be…and her powers aren’t either. When she’s put to the ultimate test, forcing a choice between loyalty to the Belles and aiding the royal family, what will she choose?
All We Can Do is Wait, by Richard Lawson (February 6)
Noted entertainment writer Lawson may be known for his humor, but his first foray into noveldom is a heartbreaker for sure. It explores loss, grieving, moving forward, and changing relationships in the aftermath of a Boston-area bridge collapse that changes the lives of five teens forever, forcing long-held secrets and unspoken fears out into the open as they contemplate how they’ll move forward if their loved ones are lost.
American Panda, by Gloria Chao (February 6)
This fresh-voiced debut introduces Mei, a Taiwanese American teen who can’t quite seem to live up to her parents’ plans, though that won’t stop her from trying. They want her to be a doctor and marry Taiwanese; she can’t stand biology and her affection lies with Darren Takahashi, her Japanese classmate. She pushes forward anyway, a seventeen-year-old freshman at MIT, exactly as her parents dreamed. But then she reconnects with her brother, Xing, whose failure to comply with his parents’ wishes regarding dating led to his ostracization from the family, and now she can’t help asking herself: is it worth it to be exactly who they want her to be, or is it time to strike out on her own?
Winterfolk, by Janel Colby (February 6)
Rain’s settled into life among the Winterfolk, the homeless people living outside the fringes of Seattle whom she imagines to be invisible. Then word comes that the Winterfolk will be swept out, and her only hope for survival is to have her fellow homeless friend King take her to Seattle. But when they’re separated during a dangerous night in the city, Rain learns there’s more to urban survival than she imagined, and that she isn’t quite as invisible as she imagined, either.
Down and Across, by Arvin Ahmadi (February 6)
Scott’s a bit of a flake,—a problem when college applications are nearing deadline and your parents are the “pick a practical career” type. His master plan? Sneak off to D.C. to find the psychology professor whose study about stick-to-itiveness strongly resonated with him, making him think there might be a solution to his problem. Instead he finds Fiona, a college girl who aspires to write crossword puzzles and takes Scott on a wild ride through a night of mishaps, crosswords, and the unexpected that he’ll never forget.
The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza, by Shaun David Hutchinson (February 6)
Elena isn’t like everybody (anybody?) else. For one thing, she’s the product of a virgin birth. For another, she hears voices—one that tells her she can heal her crush, Freddie, from a gunshot. One that keeps telling her to heal, even though every time she does, people disappear. Are the powers a gift from God? Is the world coming to an end? Mysteries follow Elena wherever she goes, and faith may be the only explanation.
The Last to Let Go, by Amber Smith (February 6)
When Brooke’s mother kills Brooke’s abusive father, it throws all the plans she had for positive life changes into upheaval. Now she’s barely keeping her head above water as she navigates a new school, her relationships with her remaining family, and what a new crush says about her sexuality. Meanwhile, no one’s sure exactly what happened on the day that changed everything, but Brooke will need to confront it if she’s to move forward and embrace her new life.
Tempests and Slaughter (Numair Chronicles Series #1)
Tempests and Slaughter, by Tamora Pierce (February 6)
Few names translate to “highly anticipated” like Pierce’s, and today, she kicks off brand-new fantasy adventure series the Numair Chronicles. Powerful mage Arram, a student at the Imperial University of Carthak along with his two best friends, Varice (who may become more than a friend) and Ozorne (who just may find himself on the throne). Get to know them in this opener to the story of how Numair Salmalín came to Tortall.
Shadowsong, by S. Jae-Jones (February 6)
This sequel to the New York Times–bestselling Wintersong is set six months after the first book’s end, as Liesl is back at her family’s inn and working toward a musical career. But she misses her Goblin King, and her brother has become distant. When the barrier between the worlds threatens to crumble, Liesl is forced to return underground in this story of love, sacrifice, and the mysteries of one’s own mind.
The Traitor Prince, by CJ Redwine (February 13)
The third book of the fairytale-inspired Ravenspire series mashes up The Prince and the Pauper and The False Prince in the story of Javan, crown prince of Akram, who returns from a decade at boarding school to see an impostor nab his throne. When the impostor’s assassins force Javan into prison, his only hope for salvation comes via fighting in the prison’s annual tournament and winning an audience with the king. But Javan has made many enemies, and only the imprisoned Sajda, a skilled fighter in her own right, is willing to help. If they can band together and emerge victorious, they’ll save both their lives. But if they fail, they may never see the outside of prison again.
Between the Lines, by Nikki Grimes (February 13)
It has been seventeen years since Grimes’ Coretta Scott King Award–winning Bronx Masquerade, but she hasn’t missed a beat in this companion; indeed, only a summer has passed between the books, but that’s enough time for Mr. Ward to get a whole new class. Darrian joins in the hopes that the emphasis on poetry will improve his wordsmithing enough to help him realize his dream of writing for the New York Times. But he learns a lot more than skills when he gets to know his classmates through the work they share and what they reveal about themselves and their families.
Honor Among Thieves, by Rachel Caine and Ann Aguirre (February 13)
When two New York Times bestselling authors team up for a futuristic sci-fi adventure, the results are nothing short of thrilling. Meet Zara, a petty criminal who’s on her own since refusing to move to Mars with her family. She’d be fine if she could just stay out of trouble, but when that becomes impossible, she finds herself instead recruited onto an elite team of humans called the Honors who’ll be charged with exploring the far corners of the universe as passengers aboard sentient alien spaceships the Leviathan. Zara clicks with both her ship, Nadim, and her partner, Beatriz, making for a better experience than she could’ve imagined…at least until dark secrets rear their heads, raising questions about the Leviathan and what they might be hiding.
Dark Goddess, by Amalie Howard (February 13)
In this sequel to Alpha Goddess, all is well in the Mortal Realm now that the Lord of Death has been removed from the throne and Sera’s best friend, Kyle, sits there instead…until demons suddenly descend upon them, and Sera is forced to desperately search for their source. When she beseeches the gods for assistance, they send Kira, the living incarnation of Kali, goddess of destruction. Kira will fight by any means necessary to preserve the heavens, even if it means the Mortal Realm suffers in the process. With their only hope for help now an entirely different kind of enemy, Kyle and Sera have to work together to protect their world and save everyone they love.
Sightwitch (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Witchlands Series)
Sightwitch, by Susan Dennard (February 13)
This third entry of the Witchlands series is an illustrated novella set back in the beginning, when Ryber was but a Sightwitch sister tucked away at a convent and waiting for a call from a goddess who never comes. Suffused with the pain of being the only Sister who doesn’t possess the Sight, watching the others hurts her soul for years, right up until they’re all summoned into the mountain and don’t come back. Ryber is alone, and she’s the Sisters’ only hope, Sight or no Sight. It’s on her journey to save them that she meets Kullen and their perilous path changes things forever.
Web of Frost, by Lindsay Smith (February 13)
Smith has showed off both Russian expertise and major fantasy chops in her previous books, so what better way to go next than a book that combines them both? This first in the Saints of Russalka series is set in a Russian-inspired world in which Russalka is an empire protected by a royal family who works miracles from the saints. That family includes Princess Katza, who has been receiving visions she knows mean she’ll never take the throne. Then tragedy strikes, making her next in line just as the empire is on the verge of being torn apart by rivals and rebellion. Katza fears it may be the beginning of the end of Russalka, until she meets a prophet whose visions tell an entirely different story. But whose visions are correct, hers or the prophet’s? And what will happen to Russalka if she trusts the wrong ones?
The Prince and the Dressmaker, by Jen Yang (February 13)
Prince Sebastian’s parents may have brides on the brain, but he’s not interested in getting married right now. The joy of his life is something else entirely: wearing beautiful dresses and gallivanting around Paris as the fashion icon Lady Crystallia. It would never be possible without Frances, the dressmaker who both makes his beautiful outfits and keeps his secret. But keeping quiet about the fact that she’s the brilliant mind behind Lady Crystallia’s outfits is getting more and more frustrating for a girl who’s got ambitious dressmaker dreams. How long can she keep his secret if it means she has to stay one, too?
Blood of a Thousand Stars, by Rhoda Belleza (February 20)
The conclusion to the epic sci-fi fantasy duology that began with Empress of a Thousand Skies picks up with Princess Rhiannon in the throes of revolution, forced to make a choice between trusting her enemy or denouncing him no matter how great the cost may be. But she’s not the only one with the villainous Nero in her sights; Alyosha wants nothing more than to kill him in cold blood, but revenge may come at too high a price. Meanwhile, Kara’s still struggling with the secrets of her past and the fact that she’s the throne’s rightful heir…if she even wants to claim it.
The Precious Dreadful, by Steven Parlato (February 20)
Teddi’s had a tough time of life, between past trauma, an alcoholic mother, and a deceased father. To occupy herself with better thoughts, she joins a writing group at her library called SUMMERTEENS, hoping for a solid distraction. Instead, inexplicable and bothersome memories of a childhood friend surface, and suddenly, Teddi has questions for everyone she knows, including herself.
Pitch Dark, by Courtney Alameda (February 20)
Laura is a shipraider, trying to piece together history by searching the galaxy for its missing pieces. Tuck has been stuck in statis on a ship for centuries, one that contains a piece of Earth. When Laura and her family discover the ship and what’s aboard, they know it’s the key to saving the human race. But deadly monsters abound, and in order to save humanity, they’ll have to work together to save themselves first.
These Vengeful Souls, by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas (February 20)
The “Victorian X-Men” trilogy that begin with These Vicious Masks comes to a close in 1883 England with the powerful Evelyn on the run with Sebastian, who’s still in mourning. She’s determined to get revenge on Captain Goode, but will the cost be too great? And if he and his lies have their way, will she have any choice at all? This has been such a fun series, mashing up powers, history, and romance in a delightful way that makes me hope there’s plenty more ahead for this writing duo.
Where I Live, by Brenda Rufener (February 27)
Linden’s got a secret life. By day, she’s a blog editor with great friends and a bright future. By night, she’s living at school, where no one knows she’s homeless. Then she learns another classmate’s secret—that her boyfriend is abusive—and the only way she can help is by revealing her own. Can she come forward even if it means revealing her own painful truth? And what will her life and relationships look like if she does?
Heart of Iron, by Ashley Poston (February 27)
Billed, irresistibly, as Anastasia in space, this sci-fi stars Ana, a girl who was saved as a child by a ship’s captain who found her floating through space with a sentient android named D09. When D09 starts glitching, Ana’s desperate to save him, but it’s a dangerous journey to find the information she needs—and someone else beats her to it. When she and the Ironblood who stole her treasure end up as fugitives from a kingdom that wants it every bit as much as they do, their lives are on the line, their future is uncertain, and Ana ends up facing an impossible choice.

“I’m gonna be really mad if we don’t routinely acknowledge this as one of the best books of 2018,” I thought when I finished this, so here’s me living up to my word: this book is powerful and nuanced and rare and good. Zarin is a Zoroastrian Indian expat living in Muslim majority Saudi Arabia, or at least she was living. When the book opens, she and Porus, the dedicated boy who’ll do anything for her, have been killed in a car crash in Jeddah. How they got there, how Zarin became thought of as “a girl like that,” and the lives of not just the two of them but two other teens unfolds in a stark, memorable story of mental health, sexism, religion, expat life, and more.
Tess of the Road, by Rachel Hartman (February 27)
Tess isn’t the ladylike woman she’s expected to be in the medieval kingdom of Goredd, and she can’t seem to stop getting herself in trouble. So much trouble, in fact, that her family sends her to a nunnery. But Tess isn’t meant to be a nun, and she isn’t meant to follow the rules. So she chops off her hair and hits the road, looking for a life in which she fits. Along her journey, her backstory slowly unfolds in this thoughtful feminist fantasy.
All Out, ed. by Saundra Mitchell (February 27)
Marginalized teens have seldom gotten their due in history, but in this anthology, previously sidelined queer teens throughout the ages are front and center. In it, you can find stories by Malinda Lo, Anna-Marie McLemore, Shaun David Hutchinson, Tehlor Kay Mejia, Kody Keplinger, Scott Tracey, Sara Farizan, Nilah Magruder, Kate Scelsa, Mackenzi Lee, Robin Talley, yours truly, and more, spanning the ages with gay, bi, lesbian, transgender, and asexual representation. I realize I’m slightly biased, but is that a dream collection or what?

WHAT IS THE TAROT FOR? SOME MATERIAL FROM READERS STUDIO | Shining Tribe
WHAT IS THE TAROT FOR? SOME MATERIAL FROM READERS STUDIO
As many here know I was one of the featured presenters, with Mary K. Greer and Benebell Wen, at this year’s annual Readers Studio conference in New York. This is a great event, and I have been to all but one of them (I was ill that year) since the beginning, when Mary Greer and I were presenters. So it was special for me, and I wanted to do something special. Rather than narrow myself to a single topic that I could fully cover in the 2 1/2 hours we each had, I wanted to open it up, look at basics, and what’s special.
For several weeks I took lots of notes, writing many pages in my journal about subjects I might cover, readings we might do, aspects of Tarot in people’s lives. Then i wrote up five pages of handouts, covering many, though not all, of those topics. When we began I told everyone that I did not expect to do it all, but I wanted them to have it. Now i want to share some of that here.
The first page of the material was a list of uses people have found in the Tarot. I titled it the same as this post. Here it is. I hope people will feel moved to comment, question, discuss, and especially add things I missed. I should mention that a number of the items came from suggestions made by my friend Zoe Matoff, who is a brilliant and dedicated Tarotist.
I should also mention that I do not necessarily endorse some of the things. They are simply ways people have used the Tarot.
WHAT IS THE TAROT FOR?
Ways People Have Used The Tarot
Healing—through advice from a reading, or directly through the images
Travel to other worlds or stories
Travel on the Tree(s) of Life
Discovering secrets—in others or yourself, or in the world.
Art—Tarot as an art form or using Tarot to inspire new art
Story-telling, writing, poetry
Honoring/Speaking to/Summoning the dead
Honoring/Speaking to/Summoning spirits, demons, or angels
Controlling spirits, demons, or angels
Visual form of magical doctrines
Identifying threats or issues in a person’s life, and what to do about them
Legal, medical, financial direction, or decisions
Insh’Allah—discovering the divine will
To go out and come back
The last is deliberately mysterious and suggestive. I would be interested to know people’s reactions to it.

Love this list! Thank you for sharing it here too ❤
I call the Tarot my bible and use it as my spiritual book of wisdom.
On May 6, 2018 at 6:06 pm Rachel said:
Shari Lynn, I have not re-checked the list but I think–amazingly–I did not include Book of Wisdom. So thanks for putting that in the mix.
On May 10, 2018 at 7:48 pm Rash said:
Maybe this has already been mentioned in a way on your list, but I use tarot to simply ask “why?”. Why did I do (insert action here)? Why did this (insert event or something someone said) make me (insert feeling or reaction here)? Why do I keep…and so on. The images and archetypes trigger a deeper thought pattern that helps me go beyond what I see on the surface, even though it may be connected to an every day, mundane thing. Hope this makes sense.
On May 10, 2018 at 9:21 pm Rachel said:
I love this idea, including just the single word, without a specific reference. I just asked the Pholarchos tarot “Why?” and got Dreamer of Spirals (page of Cups). the picture shows a dreamy woman, eyes closed, with colors and forms merging in an out of her face and the air around her. The book says, in part, “Correspondences true throughout creation. Geography and spatial relations become a language that carries meaning…Keep learning.”
Seems like a perfect answer to Why.

I just googled “Pholarchos Tarot”. It’s beautiful. And yes, the perfect answer to “why”.

Generous with the toppings! - Review of Windy City Pizza, Virginia Beach, VA - TripAdvisor
Generous with the toppings! - Windy City Pizza
“Generous with the toppings!”
Ranked #132 of 1,565 Restaurants in Virginia Beach
The pizza was awesome. Based on the website I didn’t expect much but this place really delivered on the pizza. We called in the order and picked it up. It was not conventionally sliced which was actually a good thing. The people were friendly. The crust on the pizza was really good. They did not skimp on the toppings and I was very surprised. The ingredients seemed to be high quality and I say that because the food didn’t go right through me like other pizza places. I would definitely go back if I was in the area again.
Ask K B about Windy City Pizza
All reviews deep dish pizza italian beef chicago pizza spicy sausage green peppers pie mango fries thin crust call ahead the real deal worth the wait last night service was great toppings slice cicero
My Favorite Pizza in Va Beach!
This is my favorite pizza in VB. Try it! Many food items I've seen served there look great, but the pizza is the star of the show for me and the reason we keep going back. I like both the thin crust and traditional crust; the deep dish is too much for me (I want to be able to eat multiple pieces!). The pizzas are cut into easy-to-eat squares. Many key ingredients are imported from Chicago; the cheese is from Wisconsin. This is a smaller, modest venue, tucked-back a tad off the road, but we have never had to wait for a table.The restaurant is decorated with Chicago memorabilia. Carry-out and eat-in service is always pleasant. Try it, you will love it. Beer and pizza -- at its best.
Ask BeachDNS about Windy City Pizza
Great Pizza. Worth the wait!
My wife and I met some friends at Windy City Pizza last night for our Tuesday night pizza gathering. We had been before but several in the group had never been. I have to say this may be the best pizza in this area. It does take a while to make but they let you know that right up front and I believe it’s also stated in the menu. Just know that it will be very worth the wait!
My wife and I split a medium Cicero pizza with pepperoni, sausage, mushrooms, onions and bell peppers. It was a great combination of flavors on a delicious crispy crust with a very tasty sauce. The others got the deep dish Chicago style and they all thoroughly enjoyed them. There was plenty to eat and we all ended up taking some home.
Our server Cassandra was very attentive and kept our drinks full and made sure we had anything we needed.
We will definitely be back in the near future. You are missing out if you don’t check this place out!
Ask vbmike about Windy City Pizza
Thank vbmike
BY FAR THE BEST PIZZA WE EVER ATE
We just jumped off the highway and decided that the first restaurant on our side of the highway woukd get our business. Here sat this little Windy City Pizza shoo in this luttle strip mall and I thought perhaps this was the wrong approach.
WRONG! The waitress seated us, explained the entire menu, took our order and shortly thereafter delivered the best pizza I have ever eaten. We ordered the large thin crust pizza with pepperoni and sausage. We ate every bit of it. Trust me you will not be disappointed if you choose to eat at this great puzza shop.
Ask Joanne S about Windy City Pizza
A slice of Chicago in Virginia Beach
My son and I were looking for a good pizza place while vacationing in Virginia Beach. As we scanned the list of available places, we saw a listing for Windy City Pizza. We were intrigued by the description of their deep dish Chicago style pizza and the good rating that the Pizzeria had received......and having been to Chicago for the “real deal” back in May 2017, we were willing to give it a try. No disappointment......it was very, very good! That nice crisp buttery crust was awesome!! Hope to go back again before leaving this area.

Fall/winter 2012 Dog Sweaters-printed Mo - Walmart.com
Fall/winter 2012 Dog Sweaters-printed Mo
Cute and semi fuzzy but runs too small
This item is really cute, rather thin and not for the real cold winter . But overall , it's cute and ok for weather that is 60 degrees to about 50 degrees. It's rather thin and runs super small. I bought it for my little chihuahuas ( 2 of my babies ) 1- chihuahua of mine that is about 11 lbs and one that is about 6 lbs. I have three chihuahuas in total that were rescue pups. The two males one being 11 lbs now and the other one weighing about 6 lbs needed a coat /jacket like fleece item to wear. The third chihuahua who also weighs 6 lbs is a female and she basically ended up with the medium sized one that was intended for the 11 lbs chihuahua due to the fleece running to small. So, the small one that I purchased fit my male chihuahua who is barely a size small but can wear it and really needed a size medium as well. Basically , they both, being 6lbs, needed a size medium and the 11 lbs chihuahua needed a size large in this item. It's kind of thin in material and so it's really good for weather temperature of 50 degrees to about 60 degrees.
I bought an extra small for my 4 lb chi and it fits perfectly but i fold the collar down instead of velcroing the top shut

DO WE HAVE A DRUG SHORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY	| tea party conservative news
DO WE HAVE A DRUG SHORTAGE IN THIS COUNTRY
Posted on September 29, 2012 by conservativepolitics1
The AMA is calling a “national health crisis”-a severe shortage of medicines. Shortfalls of some 250 lifesaving generic drugs, mostly injectable meds used continually throughout ERS, ICU’s and cancer wards all over America. An estimated 90% of the nation’s anesthesiologists say they’re experiencing shortages. A reported 500,000 cancer patients have been unable to get drugs they need. Responders have been forced to use expired meds and even go without critical drug supplies for accident victims.
Drug shortages have increased about 27% in 2010 and again in 2011—re Univ of Utah hospitals and clinics.
Past two to three years we’ve seen unprecedented number of different types and different classes that have been unavailable. Tom Carey
Of America’s five largest manufacturers of generic injectable drugs—four were effectively forced to simultaneously take significant production offline in order to deal with FDA warnings. Their production declined by 30%. Forbes
Nine patients died from contaminated IV fluid in Alabama when they typical supply was unavailable—Reuters
Pediatric oncologist, know how to cure 70-80% of patients. But without the scarce cancer drugs you are out of business. DR. MIKE Link
The AHA says that 95% of the 820 community hospitals that responded to the groups
June 2011 survey reported experiencing at least one drug shortage in the past 6 months. A full 44% reported shortages of 21 or more different drugs. Some 47% of hospitals reported experiencing a shortage of at least one drug on a daily basis—Katherine Hobson
Unavailability of succinylcholine has led to adverse patient outcomes—sometimes even death. Arnold Berry.
The most common shortages are generic injectables such as propofol—epinephrine, heparin and even morphine. Hospital and health network magazine.
Regrettably most institutions have had to institute a review board often with involvement of their institutional ethics committee to develop harrowing plans of how to ration chemotherapy drugs. Dr Michelle Hudspeth
Doctors at the john Hopkins cancer center are rationing cytarabine a drug used to treat leukemia and lymphoma. They are literally deciding who will live and who will die. John Goodman.
Reuters reports that 58% of the 219 drugs on the shortage list were produced by facilities forced to shut down by the FDA but more were tied to reports of the drugs actually harming people.
Under Obama FDA commission Hamburg , the total number of FDA warning letters shot up to 1,720 in 2011 compared to 445 in 2008. FDA contribution to the drug shortage.
Heavy handed FDA inspections are throwing the nation’s drug suypply into disarray. Four of the five top generic drug makers Hospira, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Sandoz and Bedford Lab, were forced to shut down 30% of their manufacturing capacity by the FDA—-FDA contribution
FDA complained about the production quality of methotrexate—they only treatment for children with certain kinds of leukemia. The FDA tried to force Ben Venue Labs in Ohio to do expensive upgrade in the facility and the company shut down in Nov 2011—the sole US manufacturer of Doxil used in ovarian cancer. Latest Drug shortage threatens children
Hamburg’s aggressive enforcement and the fact that many generic mfg are actually losing money by producing certain drugs particularly for the elderly has led to production line being shut down and even shuttered mfg plants. More that 90% of US oncologist have experienced shortage of key cancer drugs. Reuters
We are finding that scores of critical drugs are now unavailable to people who need them. The first place to look when product shortages persist is for the presence of government price controls—Darrell Issa
Food and drug adm rules cause pointless delays. It takes as long a two and half years to receive FDA mfg approval for a generic. WSJ
11% of shortages were due to companies that stopped making a certain drug, usually for business reasons. Reuters
In some cases the drug shortage has created a gray market where things that used to cost $10 now cost $100. Hospitals and health network
To supposedly “fix” the problem on 10/31/2011, Obama signed an Exec Order instructing the FDA to speed up reviews for drug mfg and set up a voluntary advance warning system for potential shortages.
Still the FDA’s Sandra Kweder claims that Obama’s EO has helped the agency avert 150 new shortages since Nov. guess we should be happy it wasn’t the full 400.

The Beast's Lair: Yet Another "Beast"
Yet Another "Beast"
This past Tuesday, I had the opportunity to once again visit my favorite amusement park, Kings Island. I took my students up there to see a Red's game and go to the park. After watching perhaps the most inept baseball team ever get killed by the Cubs, the next day we went to Kings Island.
Now, let me explain the difference between Amusement and Theme parks. An amusement park is basically ride oriented, not too much emphasis on themeing or overall design. (although that is changing). Theme parks go with the idea of creating another world that you step into once you enter the gates. Just being in the park is every bit as cool as the rides themselves. Typically, amusement parks will have more thrill rides and theme parks will have more family oriented rides. That is why Islands of Adventure is the greatest park in the world. It combines the atmosphere of a theme park with the excitement of an amusement park. So, IOA is my fav theme park, but Kings Island remains my fav amusement park. Now that those things are understood. . .
The Beast is the greatest roller coaster in the world. Even better than the Hulk at IOA. Although it's counterpart, Son of Beast may be taller and faster, there is something special about The Beast that gives it the greatest coaster status. Let me outline just a couple of reasons why it is top in my book:
1. You cannot see the coaster. Yep, the only thing you can see is the lift hill. The rest of the coaster is hidden by the woods. Kings Island does a great job of building this up by advertising with phrases such as "lurking in the woods of Kings Island." I mean you literally can't see any part of the coaster except the lift.
2. It is the world's longest wooden coaster. It just keeps going and going. Half way through, when most coasters would be finished, you go back up yet another lift hill. Awesome.
3. The overall experience is unmatchable. The history, the tradition, the feeling. Even though Son of Beast is faster and taller, it doesn't have quite the charm of The Beast. It will always be the greatest coaster ever.

I have to agree with you the Beast is awsome!
