When the Delta Blues Buffet opened this year, it ushered in a new era
at Resorts Casino. The
Buffet was remodeled
and rebranded with new
flooring, chairs, tables,
countertops and serving
areas. Fresh paint on the
walls and ceilings and
new artwork from the Mid-South and Mississippi Delta add to a new,
updated look.
Fresh is a word that could also be used to describe the design of
the Delta Blues Buffet. The designers of the buffet delivered a casual
sophisticated design that ties into the region. The look of the carpet
reminds one of a flowing river. The gray wood-plank inspired floor
tiles have a weathered barnwood look and yet are virtually maintenance
free. Art from the region provided by the Delta Arts
Council lines the wall and is available for purchase.

HOROSCOPE
The theme of this period is buried secrets, Scorpio
Editor’s Note: These horoscopes are meant for entertainment purposes
only and are for the time period October 30 - November 12, 2014.
3CORPIO/CT.OV— The theme of
this period is buried secrets coming to light.
The past comes to the forefront and features
in your life. You abhor the process but it removes a
substantial degree of confusion in the eyes of others
generally.
3AGITTARIUS .OV $EC — This
period appeals to the impulsive side of your
nature. You can waste a lot of time and
energy running around trying options that in the
end are not suitable. Figure out what you want
beforehand.
#APRICORN $EC *AN — Physical
activity is the best use for your energies; so
you could try gardening and DIY, going to
the gym and playing competitive sport, or throwing
yourself into various career objectives. Emulate the
human dynamo. Fall into bed each night so tired you
can’t think any longer as your grief for so many things
gradually burns itself out and your foundations for
the future grow obvious.
!QUARIUS*AN&EB— It is not yet
the moment to make a major change. Keep
working on the lines you’ve established, yet
there are still minor improvements you can promote
to better your circumstances in the meantime. This
is a good period for your close relationships so you
don’t need to bear the burden of responsibility alone.
0ISCES&EB-ARCH — Neptune in
your sign for the long haul is a double-edged
sword. On the plus side this planet is linked
with intuition and idealism, helping you to visualize
your perfect situation and instinctively know how to
attain your dreams. Less favorably, it has been tied in
with confusion, self-deception and escapism.
!RIES-ARCH!PRIL — This period
brings freedom, change and individuality
as you liberate yourself from excessive
limitations and make life what you want it to be.
Don’t anticipate a lot to occur in the way you’d have
thought. Expect the unexpected and surprises.
4AURUS !PRIL -AY — The longstanding emphasis on your partnership
affairs intensifies. Close friendships and even
business links are noticeably highlighted. The current
trend help outline some of the compromises you can
MAKESOASTOLETOTHERSSHAREINYOURLIFEEQUALLY
'EMINI -AY *UNE — Obligation
and responsibility keep you on your toes.
This unremitting pressure is nothing new,
although its severity comes and goes. It isn’t easy
sometimes, leaving you tired because of a cumulative
impact. Work on adopting better health practices.
#ANCER *UNE *ULY — If you have
children or care for them, you’ll find they take
up plenty of your time and in ways you were
not expecting. The reasons could be financial, as the
Bank of Mum and Dad could be expected to come to
their rescue again. Whether in fact you do so is up to
you, since it comes down to your assessment of your
current position.
,EO*ULY!UG— A big personality
like yours isn’t always the asset you’d think it
might be. For a performer or a world leader
it is obviously an enormous plus to have a presence
THAT COMMANDS ATTENTION "UT AT CLOSE QUARTERS THE
situation is complicated. All members of a happy
home must believe they make their own contribution.
6IRGO!UG3EP— Think how your
relationships could improve. What matters
the most, continuing with a viewpoint that
has seen happier days, or enjoying more harmonious
relationships?
,IBRA3EP/CT— An enormous
amount has happened recently in your life,
Libra, and some events come to a head
during this important period. Pay close attention as
it is during this period of time that you are left to
consider what you’ve learned and how to apply these
insights.
