Dorothy Baker’s Cassandra at the Wedding was one of my reading highlights of 2014 and ever since then I’ve been looking forward to trying her debut, the jazz novel, Young Man with a Horn. I’m glad to say it did not disappoint, far from it. This novel is a modest triumph, finely crafted and deeply felt.
First published in 1938, Young Man was inspired by the music, but not the life, of Leon (Bix) Beiderbecke, the legendary cornetist and pianist of the Jazz Age. The novel opens with a prologue in which an unnamed narrator, possibly an observer or biographer, offers an overview of the story of Rick Martin’s life. Rick was a jazz musician, a young white guy with a rare talent for creating some of the sweetest, most imaginative music known to man. But we know from the outset that Rick’s life is over, he’s ‘washed up and gone’. His passion for music was so great that he struggled to keep pace with his own ability – here’s how the short prologue ends:
Our man is, I hate to say it, an artist, burdened with that difficult baggage, the soul of an artist. But he hasn’t got the thing that should go with it – and which I suppose seldom does – the ability to keep the body in check while the spirit goes on being what it must be. And he goes to pieces, but not in any small way. He does it so thoroughly that he kills himself doing it. (pg. 12)
The remainder of the novel is divided into four sections, each one covering a key phase in Rick’s story.
Orphaned as a baby, young Rick is raised by his (largely absent) older sister and brother. By the age of fourteen, Rick is skipping school and teaching himself to play the piano at the All Souls’ Mission church in Los Angeles. Around this time, he meets an eighteen-year-old black guy, Smoke Jordan, at the local Pool Hall. Rick is fascinated by Smoke’s natural sense of rhythm; he can see it in the way Smoke moves across the floor as he sweeps up at Gandy’s Pool Hall. At first, Smoke is a little wary of getting too close to Rick, but a lasting friendship soon develops between the pair as they bond over a mutual love of music.
First there was his absorbing interest in the music, and next there was his deep feeling for Smoke Jordan, the only person in the world he knew and loved. Or it may have been first Smoke and then the music. Whichever came first, the two had to be bracketed together. (pg. 38)
This deep relationship between the two young men (one white, one black) is one of the most touching and affectionate features of the novel, it’s beautifully rendered by Baker.
Smoke and Rick spend their nights sitting outside the Cotton Club listening to Jeff Williams and his Four Mutts. This band is hot, the players know what they’re about both collectively and singly, and Rick soaks it all up. Smoke knows the band and one evening the two boys are invited into the Club. Rick is in his in element; he is entranced by the music, not only the piano but the trumpet too. The way Art Hazard plays that horn simply blows him away.
It may have been the gin; something had him fixed up so that he was playing constantly right up to the place where genius and madness grapple before going their separate ways. It was Hazard’s night. (pg.53)
Jeff Williams agrees to teach Rick a thing or two about the piano and Art Hazard does the same with the horn. Rick’s world revolves around the music. He practices piano in the afternoons followed by a couple of hours on the trumpet, and in the evenings he heads to the Cotton Club to hear Jeff’s band. Rick just gets better and better; he’s on his way.
By the age of twenty, Rick is playing first trumpet in Jack Stuart’s dance band for a summer season in Balboa. Jack, a traditionalist by nature, wants the band to play straightforward arrangements of crowd-pleasing tunes, but Rick is itching to improvise a little; he needs an outlet for his creative juices. There’s a great scene where Rick gets to play things his own way for one dance number. He doesn’t show off, he’s respectful about it and lets the music speak for itself; out comes a sound that ‘could be tender and still hold its own shape’. Four choruses later and Rick has the crowd, they won’t leave the dancefloor. From that point on, every fourth number features a Rick Martin trumpet solo.
The final section of the novel moves to New York where Rick shifts up a gear to play in Lee Valentine’s band. Four years on and he’s working in Phil Morrison’s outfit, the leading society orchestra in NYC, playing hotels, drawing a crowd and earning more money than he has time to spend. When his stints with the orchestra are through for the night, Rick heads over to Louie Galba’s, a musicians’ hangout. Here he is reunited with Smoke, some of the guys from Jeff Williams’s band and other great musicians he has met along the way. By the age of twenty-four, Rick has become the big name; he’s the leading trumpet player in America.
It is here in New York that the tension between Rick’s creative drive and his ability to keep his life on an even keel starts to increase. His personal life gets complicated when he meets and falls for Amy, a bright and intelligent society girl.
When she came into a room, Rick felt it and his knees went cold. When she bent her head to light a cigarette from the match he held, he was lost until the flame burned his finger. When she stood in her long white robe in front of the fireplace, propping an elbow against the mantel and crossing her feet in the classic attitude of insouciance, he couldn’t let himself look at her; the sight of her twisted him. (pg. 137)
I love that quote, it could have come straight out of a Chandler novel (or the film, Casablanca).
Rick and Amy are happy for a little while, but it doesn’t last. Rick continues to push, to give himself up to the music, and when the fall comes he takes it hard.
Young Man with a Horn is a very fine novel; there is much to enjoy here. Baker writes so vividly and realistically about jazz musicians and their music; it’s one of the many pleasures of this book. As an example, here’s a passage from the scene where Rick is inside the Cotton Club listening to Jeff’s band.
Jeff led them to it with four bars in the key, and then the three horns came in together, held lightly to a slim melody by three separate leashes. Then Jeff left the rhythm to the drums, and the piano became the fourth voice, and from then on harmony prevailed in strange coherence, each man improvising wildly on his own and the four of them managing to fit it together and tightly. Feeling ran high, and happy inspiration followed happy inspiration to produce counterpoint that you’d swear somebody had sat down and worked out note by note on nice clean manuscript paper. But nobody had; it came into the heads of four men and out again by way of three horns and one piano. (pg. 49)
Baker also nails the ambience of the Harlem speakeasies, the clubs and hangouts where players congregate after hours. She captures the bond and sense of kinship between these musicians so well. At a time when racial tensions remain present in America, it’s refreshing to see just how natural it is for Rick and one or two other white musicians to jam alongside Smoke and his compatriots.
Ultimately though, this is the story of a young man’s fall from grace, of an artist so talented he couldn’t contain it.
In Rick Martin’s music there was, from the first, an element of self-destruction. He expected too much from it and he came to it with too great a need. (pg. 11)
Even though we know the arc of Rick’s life from the opening pages, the narrative remains compelling and engaging to the very end. I’ll finish with a favourite quote from the novel, one that conveys something of the wistful tone of the closing section.
They played hard and they played well and it wasn’t all solo either. Toward daylight they had built up a blend of melody and harmony that was older and emotionally deeper than the brave virtuosity of the first hours. It was the music of men who look backward with wisdom rather than forward with faith. They were tired now, and dependent on each other, not so ruggedly individualistic. They brought the dawn in with sad and mellow music. (pg. 154)
Young Man with A Horn is published in the UK by NYRB Classics. Source: personal copy.

There is definitely something truly majestic about watching the antics of some of the largest creatures on earth. Watching the whales of Sydney Harbour can be an amazing experience for anyone but, of course, it’s all about where you go. Create the perfect experience for your family and make sure that you really enjoy your next vacation.
What Whale Watching Means for You
If you’ve always been interested in the great outdoors and you’ve always loved the ocean, then you’re going to absolutely love whale watching. You’re going to love going out on that boat and you’re going to definitely love the experience of watching the whales jump and play around you. After all, these beautiful big creatures are definitely inclined to play and have a whole lot of fun, just the same as your family loves to do.
With this type of experience, you’re going to have no problem getting up close to these giant animals and you’ll have the time of your life taking pictures and watching what they can do. This isn’t a circus or a performance where the animals have been trained; this is just nature allowing you to see what it’s all about. You’ll be able to experience a fun boat ride and you’ll be able to see the whales doing what they do best. Altogether, it’s going to be a great day and it’s going to be a learning experience for your younger children as well.
Exploring the Waters
Each year, the whales of Antarctica leave in their annual migration. These humpback whales then travel all the way to Queensland, which means that they’re traveling right through Sydney. What this means is that you’re going to have the best experience of whale watching right here. You will have the opportunity to see some of the thousands of whales that make Sydney whale watching some of the best you’ll find at any point in the migration. With the warm waters throughout the region, you’re going to enjoy the ride on the boats as well, which means that from beginning to end, you’re going to love the experience.
The whales along the trip are not the only creatures that you may see either. You may also see other creatures that will be jumping and playing in the ocean while you continue on with your journey; even the birds in the sky will enhance your experience. By enjoying a responsible and respectful journey through the ocean, you’re going to see something truly great. All you need to do is pick out the perfect tour time for your family. You’ll get the best experiences throughout the entire whale-watching season, which runs from May through November.
There’s no reason not to enjoy the season with a whale-watching cruise. Your entire family is going to love it and you’re going to have an experience that you definitely won’t get anywhere else. That’s going to really make your vacation, whether you’re from the area or not.

Public events during the EJCAt the European Juggling Convention (EJC) 2008, besides training and show activities for paying jugglers and artists, several events for visitors will be offered:
International Vaudeville Gala Show of the EJCThe gala show is the undeniable highlight of the numerous public and internal shows of this world gathering. By now the show is mentioned in one breath with the German top-level vaudevilles as Apollo (Düsseldorf) and Friedrichspalast (Berlin) or the famous international vaudeville events in Monte Carlo and Las Vegas - one time the gala show is the stepping stone towards the other shows and another time international vaudeville artists enjoy their chance to shine in front of a knowing and acknowledging audience. In summer 2007, works started for putting the program of the gala show together in order to create a unique vaudeville show at the EJC 2008 to fascinate both, jugglers and public!
Tickets are available throughout Germany or via internet, see details.
[Thursday, 07.08. and Friday, 08.08.; at the Brahmssaal of the Stadthalle]
Parade through the citySometimes jugglers and artists are getting caught up so much in training and show activities at the festival site that they are unable to see anything from the hosting city.
Likewise, citizens of a city often cannot imagine the colourful bustle of the artists at the convention site. In order to put things right, a huge parade takes place through the hosting city telling everybody that "The jugglers are in town!". About 3000 jugglers will engross the city on the second day of the EJC by crossing the town in a colour- and cheerful parade, in the end joining in front of the castle to watch the opening show.
[Sunday, 03.08.; route: ZKM - Klauprechtstraße - Hirschstraße - Kriegsstraße - Karlstor - Karlstraße - Ludwigsplatz - Waldstraße - Kaiserstraße - Marktplatz - Schlossplatz]
Opening show in front of the castleThe EJC will be opened officially with the show in front of the castle, even though the day before the participants will have started to check in and behind the active participants will already have passed a long convention day and an even longer convention night. At the opening show, Mr. Major in person will welcome all the jugglers from around the word.
[Sunday, 03.08.; castle´s courtyard]
Medieval juggler spectacleWhere was the possibility to see jugglers, and other travelling "show"- people in the Middle Ages? At the medieval markets! One did combine the necessary (or perhaps not necessary) shoppings with copious meat and drink and all kinds of amusement. While doing so, one was hoping to amuse oneself at the jugglers’ spectacle without suffering mischief -sometimes successfully, sometimes losing the overview (to put it mildly), if too much juggling was going on...
At the festival site of the EJC, jesters, jugglers, acrobats, bards, jongleurs and other medieval figures are waiting between and inside the booths of the bargainers and the innkeepers for the jugglers and other goofy public.
[Saturday, 02.08. - Sunday, 10.08. daily; festival ground Günther-Klotz-area]
Show stage of the traveling peopleIf considered with adequate clapping, each weekend members of the traveling people will reveal a potpourri of their medieval skills on stage.
[02. /03. 08. and 09. / 10.08.; medieval jugglers’ spectacle]
Children’s circus - offers to participateAt the circus tent at the lake, the children’s circus "Maccaroni" offers to train with the kids what the grown-ups do practice at the EJC: circus and vaudeville arts! As a run is expected, participation is only possible after pre-registration at the Stadtjugendausschuss (city youth committee).
[Monday, 04.08. through Friday, 08.08.; festival ground Günther-Klotz-area]
Vaudeville show for childrenLike the EJC gala show of/for the grown-ups, there is a special vaudeville show for the little ones: during the week, show people are performing vaudeville arts suitable for children at the circus tent at the lake daily.
[Monday, 04.08. through Friday, 08.08.; festival ground Günther-Klotz -area]
Europäische JonglierspieleVenturing a fair guess, most jugglers are "playing children" - there is no other explanation for the great variety and developments of juggled and balanced artifacts. That´s why a competition in the various disciplines cannot be a deadly serious event.
Nonetheless, at the European juggling games top-performances can be seen - who else can state to be able to balance a club on the nose or juggle seven balls? Because there are no established tournaments, one can be curious about the disciplines the jugglers will compete in... perhaps the one who throws the flour bag farthest will be chosen?
[Saturday, 09.08.; festival site Günther-Klotz-area]
Festival Site and artists’ groundIn accordance with the Karlsruher EJC concept, the site is principally open for all public. That is also true for the part called "artists´ ground" inbetween the circus tents. It is meant to be a platform for both, visitors and convention participants to exchange knowlodge and skills, to watch and to be amazed - a merry get-together crossing culture as well as languages.
[Saturday, 02.08. through Sunday, 10.08.; festival site Günther-Klotz-area]

If you think a walk in the park in winter sounds a bit mundane and dreary, you haven't seen the Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park. This glittering extravaganza has been wowing the capital's visitors since 2007, and we're running some great value weekend breaks with return coach travel and 4 star overnight hotel with English breakfast, so you can see for yourself just what makes London in winter such an unforgettable experience.
There's a Bavarian–style Christmas market and fun–fair, and a sparkling fairy–tale land featuring:
The Magical Ice Kingdom – An immersive walk–through experience, with frozen giants, an ice lake and fairy forest and an ice castle where you can meet the snow queen.
Ice Skating – A timed one–hour session on the UK's largest rink, set around the Victorian bandstand and strung with 100,000 lights. Skates are provided, but be sure to wrap up warm.
Zippos Circus and Cirque Berserk – Family–friendly Zippos Circus by day, with clowns, acrobats, high–wire stunts, jugglers and a Wheel of Death. In the evening a change of mood with Cirque Berserk's show featuring death–defying stunts, daredevil aerialists and full–throttle action – a rather more adult circus experience.
Giant Wheel – Enclosed pods, 60 metres high, views for miles - you get the picture. You can even book a luxury pod for that lofty VIP experience.
Bar Ice – Arctic cocktails and drinks served in a bar completely made of ice, though you won't be cold because special winter cloaks and gloves are provided. A complimentary drink is included with the ticket.
The Park is open between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. and you can wander round for free. Many of the special attractions are ticket–only and timed–entry, and evening and weekend tickets tend to sell out quickly, so to guarantee places and fast–track entry you're advised to book in advance at www.hydeparkwinterwonderland.com
This tour is organised and operated by Omega Holidays plc ABTA V4782 ATOL 6081

It is a custom for modern games to have a secret ending, and God of War 4 is no different. God of War Secret Ending is also quite a bit more important than the other games because it may hint to what is going to happen next in the series.
Our God of War Secret Ending Guide will tell you what the secret ending is and how can you go about seeing that ending for yourself. We will guide you in a step-by-step manner so that you can easily access this ending.
God of War Secret Ending
Before we move any further, it is important to remind you that this guide contains MAJOR SPOILERS. It is advisable only to return to this guide once you have finished the game with the standard ending so that you can experience the alternative one as well.
The God of War Secret Ending is actually quite easy to achieve and the reward that you get is akin to watching a sneak peak of the next season of your favorite TV Show. So let us go ahead and see how to get the God of War Secret Ending and what the ending actually is.
How to Get Secret Ending
As we said before, the Secret Ending is actually quite easy to unlock. When you are towards the very end of the game, you will see that Atreus’ is named Loki by the giants.
What this means is that Atreus’ has a massive role in the Norse Mythology and he is probably going to be a focal point in the future of the series or at least as important as Kratos is right now.
At the end of the game, Kratos and Atreus’ will have a private moment after which they will return to Midgard and the credits will begin to roll on your screen. Even though this should be the end of the story, you can experience an additional cutscene.
Once the credits are over and you return to the home of Kratos and Atreus, you will have the chance to press the ‘Circle’ button and rest. This will trigger the final cutscene of the story.
The cutscene shows Kratos and Atreus a few years later and lightning strikes Kratos’ home. He heads out in a rush and sees a mysterious figure shrouded in the lightning. The hooded figure has nothing to say when Kratos asks him who he is.
Instead, he pulls back his cloak to reveal his hammer and the fact that he is Thor. This is where the scene ends.
This definitely leaves us very hopeful of what is to come. It is quite reminiscent of the ending that God of War 2 had in which they had Kratos ready to fight Zeus as the game ended. Players can now eagerly await the next iteration of the game and whether or not they will get to see a fight between Loki and Thor.
That is all we have for our God of War Secret Ending Guide. Let us know if we missed something using the comments section below!

Net sales rose 148.6% to 154 billion yen ($1.39 billion) in the three months ended June 30 compared to a loss of 62 billion yen in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, the Kyoto-headquartered company said in a filing published on Wednesday.

Sales of its Nintendo 3DS platform rose to 11 million units from 10.6 million units in the prior year’s period and total units of the Nintendo Switch platform, which launched in March, were 10.3 million. Underpinning demand for the Switch console were new and already released games such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (pictured, left), which was released in April, and sold 3.5 million units worldwide, ARMS, released in June, which sold 1.18 million units globally, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, which was released in the previous period, and which sold 1.16 million units during the quarter.

Today my dad and I went to see Star Wars in Concert at the Amway Arena, and my god, it was glorious. GLORIOUS. An entire stadium of people who love Star Wars enough to buy tickets to an orchestrated movie montage narrated by Anthony Daniels. It was almost worth the price of admission alone for the opening crawl.
They had props outside the theater for you to look at, which I checked out during intermission. The coolest, in my opinion, were the Chewie suit and Han in carbonite. While I was walking past the display with two Ewok costumes in it, there were two boys up close staring at it, and I heard their father chide them as I walked away: "Come on, you remember how I feel about Ewoks."
( Han Solo tiglo carbonite! )
I saw people in full Jedi regalia, little children in Jedi costumes, a little girl dressed as Leia in the row in front of me, hundreds of Star Wars shirts, and even a Slave Leia descending the staircase next to me. It was fantastic seeing so many happy nerds of all ages and all kinds.
It was amazing. I'm so glad I went. They did a wonderful job of blending clips with the music to tell a condensed version of the entire saga from Episode I to VI. I would not have protested the addition of more Han Solo, but I wouldn't take anything away. The entire arena gave the orchestra a standing ovation; Anthony Daniels was clearly shocked by it. After exclaiming "You really don't want to go home yet!" he asked if we would like to return to the Dark Side, and then we had an encore of the Imperial March!
I am so glad my father dragged my unwilling ten year-old self to the theaters to see the original trilogy's rerelease. He had no idea what an impact that movie would have on my life, and how much I would love it almost fifteen years later.

School Girl Can't Hold It Any Longer | Omorashi Title: The Rise of Real Live Sex Cams and Its Impact on the Adult Industry Over the years, the adult entertainment industry has seen a significant shift in the way people consume and interact with sexual content. From magazines and DVDs to online streaming and virtual reality, technology has played a crucial role in shaping the landscape of adult entertainment. And one of the latest advancements in this industry is the rise of real live sex cams. Real live sex cams, also known as webcam shows, are live performances of individuals or couples engaging in sexual activities through a webcam broadcast to an audience. These shows are typically broadcasted on adult websites and can range from solo performances to group shows, all happening in real-time. And while webcam shows have been around for a while, it s only in recent years that they have gained immense popularity and become a significant revenue source for the adult industry. One of the reasons for the surge in popularity of real live sex cams is the accessibility and convenience they offer. Unlike traditional porn, where viewers are limited to pre-recorded videos, webcam shows allow for real-time interaction between the performers and the audience. Viewers can request specific acts and engage in private chats with the performers, making the experience more personalized and interactive. This level of engagement and control over the content has attracted a wide range of viewers, including those who may have previously been uninterested in traditional porn. Furthermore, real live sex cams have also provided a platform for performers to take control of their careers and earn a significant income. Webcam models are essentially their own bosses, choosing when and how long they want to perform, setting their rates, and deciding the types of shows they are comfortable doing. This level of autonomy has made webcam modeling a popular and lucrative career choice for many individuals, especially during the pandemic when traditional adult entertainment venues were closed. Moreover, the rise of real live sex cams has also led to the emergence of new and innovative revenue streams. Many adult websites now offer tips, virtual gifts, and premium memberships, allowing fans to support their favorite performers and access exclusive content. Some webcam models have also expanded into other ventures, such as selling merchandise, creating custom videos, and even offering virtual girlfriend/boyfriend experiences. This diversification of income sources has not only benefited the performers but has also contributed to the growth of the adult industry as a whole. However, with the rise of real live sex cams, there have also been concerns about the exploitation of performers and their safety. While most adult websites have strict guidelines and regulations in place to protect their models, there have been cases where performers have been taken advantage of, especially those who are new to the industry. It is essential for viewers to be mindful of the performers well-being and to support ethical and reputable websites that prioritize the safety and rights of their models. In conclusion, the rise of real live sex cams has brought significant changes to the adult entertainment industry. From the way people consume sexual content to the opportunities available for performers, webcam shows have revolutionized the industry and opened up new possibilities. With the ongoing advancements in technology, it s safe to say that real live sex cams will continue to shape the future of adult entertainment, and its impact will be felt for years to come.

Everything about Euphoria is simply eye-catching - from the gorgeous cinematography and engaging storylines to the talented cast that pulls off the most captivating makeup looks. We’re talking neon graphic liner, glitter tears, and rhinestone eyebrows… all of which were once made into Instagram filters. Yes, really. Celebrity makeup artist Doniella Davy is behind all of these Gen Z-ready makeup effects, and has developed a beauty profile for each character. As difficult as it is to take our eyes off Zendaya, because hello, she’s stunning… Hunter Schafer is an icon in her own right. The breakout star made her acting debut in Euphoria as Jules, a transgender girl dealing with high school drama along with issues like mental health, failed relationships, and gender identity.
She’s received critical acclaim for not just her performance as Jules, but her dramatic makeup that expresses the character’s mood and story arc. “She is bold and confident and her looks are supposed to be totally cheeky and playful and expressive,” says Davy, whose work on Hunter Schafer is a symbol of her artistry and real life experience as a transgender woman. While the neon eyes and bedazzled highlighter that Jules wears on the show may look complicated, they’re really not… we promise. In fact, many of the products that Davey uses on Hunter Schafer can be found right at the drugstore! Enter Euphora and celebrate LGBTQ History Month with these makeup products that Hunter Schafer wore on the hit TV show.
Between Rue’s glitter tears and Maddy’s ever-present rhinestones, there’s no shortage of shimmer on Euphoria. In fact, Lemonhead LA even launched the Euphoric Glitter Pro-Squad in 2019 as a tribute to the show’s most sparkly looks. Pretty cool. And while Jules loves her neon eyeshadow, she can totally get down with a good shimmery eye - courtesy of the Glitter & Glow Liquid Eyeshadow by Stila Cosmetics. Doniella Davy has been known to apply this ultra-blendable liquid eyeshadow on Hunter Schafer when her character needs a little glitter. And in true Jules fashion, it’s often accompanied by floating liner or exquisite designs around the eyes. Rose Gold Retro is the shade that Davy most frequently uses while doing Euphoria makeup, but this Stila favorite is available in seven shades to layer and illuminate - expressing your inner and outer sparkle just like Hunter Schafer!
One thing that many are surprised to hear about celebrity makeup artists? They love their drugstore beauty products - a lot. And Doniella Davy is no exception. She uses tons of affordable favorites when creating otherworldly Euphoria makeup looks, and regularly lines Jules’s eyes with this cult favorite eyeliner from NYX! If you watch the show, you know that Hunter Schafer’s character isn’t exactly a cat eye or natural eyeliner kind of girl. Although the Matte Liquid Liner can do it all, Davy prefers to get a little more creative when doing Hunter’s Euphoria makeup. The celebrity makeup artist regularly uses the sharp, perfectly precise tip to draw the intricate eye art that makes Jules stand out, including the spikey design that she wore with neon pink eyeshadow in episode 5. You’ll definitely be inspired to show off your makeup skills after binge-watching Euphoria, and you can easily recreate Jules’s most daring looks with one $8 liquid eyeliner. Another reason that beauty influencers and makeup artists love the Matte Liquid Liner? The ultra-black, matte formula means that it won’t reflect the light in strange ways on camera, making this liquid eyeliner ideal for selfies, YouTube videos, and filming hit TV shows.
"They are so affordable and the colors are so pigmented, and there's so many colors," Davy says about Colourpop palettes - a must-have in the Euphoria makeup department. They’re also extremely versatile, as shown by the Hunter Schafer-approved Ooh La La. At first glance, this eyeshadow palette is a vision of romance, with sultry shades like Opulent, Tickled, and Big Sugar to get you ready for date night. And don’t get us wrong, it is. But you can also switch it up and blend out these hues for an edgy, hot pink smokey eye - just like Davey did for Jules on Euphoria! From sweet to sexy to sparkly and everything in between, these Colourpop palettes serve as the basis for your favorite Euphoria makeup looks. It’s easy to smudge a bit of pink on your lids with your finger to get the purposely unkempt, daring eye effects that Jules (and Hunter Schafer!) makes her own - but Ooh La La also has you covered for more simple looks. Moon Struck is a golden hue that’s ideal for an inner corner shimmer, energizing your eye area or adding the final touch to your glam makeup, and light pinks like Soft Core and Poodle provide a simple wash of color for everyday chic or minimal makeup.
“You turn NE-on” - us to Jules, every single time she appears on our TV screens. But especially in episode 2 of Euphoria, when she wore the tricolor neon eyelids that launched countless makeup tutorials and major blending envy. There’s no denying it, Jules wears her neon eye looks to perfection. And luckily, her celebrity makeup artist Doniella Davey is more than willing to spill beauty secrets from set. One of the key players in this iconic makeup look? Hydra FX in Fanny Pack, a neon green cake liner that delivers intense color payoff and literally glows under a blacklight. Talk about vibrant. While Davey used this liner as a shadow on Jules, serving as one of the colors in her vibrant eyelid trio, you can get as creative as you want. Do a double wing as you pair this green with your favorite black eyeliner, form a floating liner look that Jules and Hunter Schafer would love, or simply draw a line across your upper lid to add a little color to your Zoom school sessions. You’ve got this.
It’s easy to feel like you have your head in the clouds sometimes, especially when you’ve spent the last day binge-watching Euphoria instead of doing your virtual homework. Oops. Or maybe you’re feeling dreamy from Jules’s memorable cloud eye art - a makeup look that captivated viewers for its beauty and simplicity. But it goes even deeper than that. The unconventional shapes and colors that adorn Jules’s eyes are meant to reframe the concepts of masculinity and femininity. Both Jules and Hunter Schafer are transgender women, whom Davey calls “artists who want to transcend gender stereotypes.” The celebrity makeup artist told Allure, “even though the character of Jules is transfeminine, I wanted to make sure that her makeup looks had a not-too-polished rawness to them that was more experimental and had an artistry to it that wasn't labeling itself as something." It’s safe to say that she succeeded, as Jules’s trademark looks have captured the hearts of viewers, aspiring makeup artists, and LGBTQ youth everywhere. As we celebrate LGBTQ History Month in October, give Hunter Schafer the shoutout she deserves by creating your own cloud eye art - which looks dreamy on all genders and can be easily done with the Liquidlast liner by MAC.
“Whatever her mood is or whatever her outfit is, her makeup looks are never supposed to feel too planned out,” Davy once said about Jules. “They're very much about her having the confidence and freedom to express herself.” Perhaps the character’s biggest outfit change came in the Halloween episode of Euphoria, where she became a “romantic and gothic” version of Juliet Capulet - complete with glitter brows and even more Colourpop eyeshadows. While Jules didn’t exactly wear the “typical” version of the classic costume, she still looked like a goddess in glitter. So much glitter. In fact, her 15th century outfit got a modern twist with the Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick by Fenty Beauty. Davey used this cult favorite from Rihanna’s makeup line to give the cheeks a bit of highlight - and the shimmer definitely didn’t stop there. Watch the Halloween episode to see some of the best Euphoria makeup looks, and superb acting from Hunter Schafer that demonstrates her talent, skill, and stardom.
If you read Doniella Davy’s many posts about Euphoria makeup on Instagram, you’ll know that Jules’s makeup always matches her mood. Pastel glitter when she’s vulnerable, colorful eyeshadow when she’s smitten with a boy, and red eyeliner when she’s… well, feeling a lot of different things. When speaking about the smokey, gothic red eyes she did for Jules in the season finale, Davy didn’t hold back. “I remain astonished and forever inspired by Jules’ uncompromising devotion to self-expression. This look is so different from her previous looks, and absolutely aims her in a new direction for the future.” She’s pretty on point regarding Jules’s path for season 2 of Euphoria. It’s mysterious, unknown, and most of all beautiful… just like this ultra-red look you can recreate with the 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil by Urban Decay.
Davy once said that she liked Jules’s makeup to appear “painted on her face,” the ultimate symbol of the character’s artistry and expression. And you can’t get more “painterly” (a favorite word of Violet Chachki, another LGBTQ History Month honoree,) than with the Aqua XL Color Paint Shadow by Make Up For Ever. This waterproof, 24-hour cream shadow blends out beautifully on the eyelids to deliver ultra-pigmented color, and Davey loves to use it on Hunter Schafer for Jules’s most dramatic looks. Like, even more dramatic than the Euphoria plot lines. Aqua XL is available in 10 hues, ranging from beige and copper to the orange, fuschia, and purple shades that are perfectly Jules. This product isn’t just beloved by the Euphoria cast, either - it also has top MIRA ratings for blendability, staying power, non-creasing and pigmentation.
Colourpop eyeshadow palettes are a staple for Euphoria makeup looks, especially Jules’s. Davy has also stated that she wanted the character’s eye effects to be “playful, carefree, and universal in terms of gender—not super feminine." She held off on more classically feminine products like mascara and lipstick - instead choosing to play with colors on the eyes and show off Hunter Schafer’s fearless style. Mar is a favorite eyeshadow palette on set - with 9 teal and bronze shades that Davy pairs with glitter for a Hunter Schafer-approved look. Davy isn’t kidding around with her love for Colourpop eyeshadows, and neither are we. These travel-sized palettes are extremely pigmented, blendable, long-lasting and affordable - and create the most flawless eye effects whether you’re a beauty beginner or celebrity and LGBTQ icon like Hunter.
You know the Euphoria makeup inspired glitter collection we told you about earlier? Now is your time to shine, literally. Lemonhead LA has changed the way that people wear shimmer - as their jars feature pigment-packed glitters floating in adhesive gel to provide maximum sparkle without fallout or the need for glue. The brand has gained celebrity fans like Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, and the entire Euphoria cast… many of whom wore these shimmers on the show! Houdini Spacepaste is a favorite that was worn by both Rue and Jules, and you won’t be able to look away once you start packing on this pigmented glitter. It’s an icy white shade with a lavender shift - which appears for a hot second when the light hits, before disappearing right before your eyes. If the fact that Hunter Schafer loves Houdini Spacepast isn’t enough for you, just know that Beyonce has also worn it onstage on several occasions. Need we say more?
Find all the best Euphoria makeup and Hunter Schafer favorites on MIRA!

Have you been an avid fan of Grey’s Anatomy since the beginning? If so, you will be delighted to know that season 17 is coming to Sky Witness in 2021. In fact, American audiences have already started watching the new season on abc, which started with a crossover 2-hour episode with Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19, on the 12th November 2020.
If you don’t like show spoilers – then don’t read any further!!!
No long-running show goes without its criticisms, whether their favourite character has got killed off, or the storylines are just not as dynamic as before. The covid pandemic did impact filming, shortening season 16 by four episodes. It looks like the show will demonstrate the impact that such a pandemic has in a hospital setting. The real PPE that the show had available was donated to hospitals who were desperate for it at the beginning of the virus situation, and PPE used in season 17 was costume – not real, to not take away stocks from the ongoing crisis.
However, the pandemic is not the only storyline gathering interest. Much of the shows early success was down to the Meredith and Derek love-story, which abruptly ended when Derek died in season 11. As you can see from our cover picture, Derek (aka – McDreamy), has a story arc in season 17 where he appears in a number of Meredith’s visions/dreams. According to stories circulating Derek may not be the only character she brings back to life!
Grey’s Anatomy Cast
Of course Ellen Pompeo is returning as Meredith Grey, but other season regulars are also set to return: Jackson Avery (Jesse Williams), Andrew DeLuca (Giacomo Gianniotti), Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson), Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone), Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr), Teddy Altman (Kim Raver), Jo Wilson (Camilla Luddington), and Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd) all return. Anthony Hill and Richard Flood also appear now as ‘series regulars’ as Winston Ndugu and Cormac Hayes. A new person joins who you might recognise from Charmed (Mackenzie Marsh), who plays Val Ashton.
What to expect
Showrunners have suggested that the pandemic will feature heavily, as it was impacting so many lives around the globe. You can expect laugh out loud funny moments, long-distance love stories, the enhanced use of tech, romance, heart-ache and more…
As I write this Sky Witness have not released a UK airing date, but spring 21 is a good guess. If you can’t wait until then, check out the trailers available:Tweet

Zakir Hussain is today appreciated both in the field of percussion and in the world of music at large as an international phenomenon. A classical tabla virtuoso of the highest order, his consistently brilliant and exciting performances have not only established him as a national treasure in his own country, India, but gained him fame all over the world for his many accomplishments. The favourite accompanist for many of India’s greatest classical musicians and dancers, from Ali Akbar Khan and Ravi Shankar to Birju Maharaj and Shivkumar Sharma, he has not let amazing talent rest there. Zakir’s contribution to world music has been unique, with many unique and historic collaborations including Shakti, which he founded with John McLaughlin and L. Shankar. His playing is marked by uncanny intuition and masterful improvisational dexterity, founded in formidable knowledge and study. A child prodigy, Zakir was already touring by the age of twelve. He came to the United States in 1970, embarking on an international career which includes no less than 150 concert dates a year. He has composed and recorded many albums and soundtracks, and has received widespread recognition as a composer as evidenced by the numerous grants and awards that he has received, including participation in the Meet the Composer programs funded by the Pew Memorial Trust. In 1987, his first solo release, Making Music, was acclaimed as “one of the most inspired East-West fusion albums ever recorded.” In 1988, he became the youngest percussionist to ever be awarded the title “Padma Shri” by the Indian government, a title given to civilians of merit. In 1990, he was awarded the Indo-American Award, in recognition for his outstanding contribution to relations between the United States and India. In April 1991, he was presented with the Sangeet Natak Academy Award by the president of India, making him one of the youngest musicians to receive this recognition from India’s governing cultural institute. In 1992, Planet Drum, an album co-created and produced by Zakir and Mickey Hart, was awarded a Grammy for Best World Music Album, the Downbeat Critics Poll for Best World Beat Album and the NARM Indie Best Seller Award for World Music Recording. In 1992, he also launched Moment! Records which features original works and collaborations in the field of contemporary world music, as well as digitally recorded live concert performances by great masters of the classical music of India. The label presents Zakir’s own world percussion ensemble, The Rhythm Experience. His compositional skills can also be heard on soundtracks for the films In Custody, Ismail Merchant’s directorial debut, and Little Buddha by Bernardo Bertolucci, for which Zakir composed, performed and was the Indian music advisor.

Andrea & Paul
This dreamy couple threw together their wedding in less than three months. After ten years together traveling the world, they knew exactly what they wanted for their wedding: a super relaxed and fun party for their guests and themselves. They found those down-to-earth backyard vibes that they were looking for (and that I love so much) in the beer garden of the Post Office Hotel in Melbourne. Cool urban classy, and the most rocking dance floor I've witnessed in a long time thanks to killer local band Phoebe and the Night Creatures. This wedding was a complete reflection of Andrea and Paul as a couple, and I felt that in every bit of their day. So. Much. Fun.
As featured on the IVORY TRIBE.

Fetishman is the UK’s finest fetish-that-isn’t-porn humorous comic featuring the latex-clad superhero who repeatedly fails to fight crime due to being clad in his restrictive latex outfit.
Fetishman is now a bi-annual 32 page comic with an online version and a loyal fan base covering a wide spectrum of subcultures including fetishists, goths, steampunks and other comics fans and creators.
In a world where sexual freedom is fighting hard against increasing online restrictions, the existence of a comic like Fetishman and how it treats fetish-related themes becomes even more important. Aside from his main job of fighting crime, badly, so very badly, Fetishman also tackles topical themes; for example Fetishman #7: the Banned issue mines the comedy gold of the 2008 Criminal Justice & Immigration Bill to discuss the absurdity of the Extreme Pornography Laws and its impact on art.
As of April 2015 there are 18 issues of Fetishman, all of which have been independently published by Doctor Geof (as has all of the art and other comics he’s ever created). Fans and newcomers alike have become increasingly interested in, and supportive of, having a “full set” of the comics, but producing something of this scale presents a challenge for an independent artist.
Whilst reprinting each of the first 10 issues is an option, Doctor Geof’s passion to create amazing things lies at the core of everything he produces, and he has wanted to make something else even more beautiful and representative of the Fetishman world for some time. Finally, he realised the best way to bring the rude, rubbery and ridiculous world of Fetishman to fans and newcomers alike would be to create a Filthology; a 300+ page compendium featuring issues 1 to 10 of Fetishman, flyer artwork, historical and new sketches, discussion, and answers to so many of the questions about Fetishman fans have asked me over the past 11 years.
With your help he wants to use Kickstarter to make the Fetishman Filthology a reality, and produce something utterly beautiful and lasting that includes Fetishman’s formative years.
Doctor Geof (aka Dr Geof Banyard, yes actual Dr, no, not that kind, thankfully) is a physicist turned artist and comics creator, alternative historian and museum forger. Over the last decade he’s created a series of comics including the award-winning Steampunk Literary Review, built and exhibited his Tea Museum under the Cutty Sark, and guested & traded at dozens of conventions across the UK including MCM Comic Con, Dysprosium and the London Film & Comic Con. His full artist bio can be found in the press section.

“Using fiction we can examine what ‘true history’ can be by talking about feasible and implausible fake histories.” – Dr Geof

They tell me people don’t like to read. I don’t know about them but I like to write — actually, change that to love — I love to write so much that I signed up for NaNoWriMo. This love for writing may be short-lived or even impulsive. Or it might be the start of a new world of awesomeness for me. Who cares?
After all, it’s November and that’s the only thing I care right now. Because it’s time for some insane non-stop writing and a lot of bang-your-head-against-the-wall — I mean NaNoWriMo.
Yes, I declare myself a participant of NaNoWriMo 2013. I accept the challenge. As part of the challenge, I will be working on my virgin novel “Life Beyond Control“.
To give a glimpse (or maybe a lengthy teaser) of it, Sid is madly in love with his family and finds himself entangled in a serious delusional series of nightmares. He is, however, determined to go the distance — life beyond control — and do anything to retain his family. Did he succeed? Or did he go too far? Therein lies madness.
Wanting to know what Sid did or what happened to him, I asked him and he replied keeping his cool, “What happened? I don’t know. You tell me..”
Eh fine. If you don’t want to reveal the plot, maybe the narrator will. Oh wait. The narrator doesn’t want to spoil the story either, at least not before the end of November.
Wow. They really know how to build up the tension. If you are like me and want to keep track of Sid’s adventure (or is it misadventure?), here’s a handy widget, displaying Sid’s progress:
See y’all at the end of November!

Feature and Follow #93 – Happy 2015
YAY it’s Friday! Gain new followers and make new friends with the Book Blogger Feature and Follow! If this is your first time here, welcome! You are about to make some new friends and gain new followers — but you have to know — the point of this hop is to follow other bloggers also. I follow you, you follow me.The Feature and Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Rachel of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read. Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to meet more new bloggers!
What was your favorite book of 2014 – or books if you can’t name just one? – Suggested by Alison Can Read
Of course, I can’t name just one, but I think I can keep it to two!
Red Rising by Pierce Brown blew me away! The Sci-fi, the worlduilding, the poetic writing and the amazing characters plus the character development made me fall in love with this book!
One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva was such a tender and well-written coming-of age story that involved a young Armenian teen, on his journey to figuring out he was gay, and how to deal with that.
I think it’s interesting that both my favorite books were written by male authors, and that both were debuts, too. If you haven’t read these yet, you’re really missing out – they are both amazing in very different ways.
Happy New Year! I hope 2015 will be a beautiful year for you, filled only with good things.
Thanks for stopping by today, have a fantastic Friday and a wonderful weekend.

Content The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Oz #1):
The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is a children’s book written in 1900 by L. Frank Baum and illustrated by W.W. Denslow. It was originally published by the George M. Hill company in Chicago, and has since been reprinted countless times, sometimes under the name The Wizard of Oz. The story chronicles the adventures of a girl named Dorothy in the land of Oz. It is one of the best-known stories in American popular culture and has been widely translated. Its initial success led to Baum’s writing and having published thirteen more Oz books.
” Follow the yellow brick road!
Dorothy thinks she’s lost forever when a tornado whirls her and her dog, Toto, into a magical world. To get home, she must find the wonderful wizard in the Emerald City of Oz. On the way she meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman and the Cowardly Lion. But the Wicked Witch of the West has her own plans for the new arrival – will Dorothy ever see Kansas again? ”
Country: United States
Genre: Classics/ Fantasy/ Children’s novel
Folklore, legends, myths and fairy tales have followed childhood through the ages, for every healthy youngster has a wholesome and instinctive love for stories fantastic, marvelous and manifestly unreal. The winged fairies of Grimm and Andersen have brought more happiness to childish hearts than all other human creations.
Yet the old time fairy tale, having served for generations, may now be classed as “historical” in the children’s library; for the time has come for a series of newer “wonder tales” in which the stereotyped genie, dwarf and fairy are eliminated, together with all the horrible and blood-curdling incidents devised by their authors to point a fearsome moral to each tale. Modern education includes morality; therefore the modern child seeks only entertainment in its wonder tales and gladly dispenses with all disagreeable incident.
Having this thought in mind, the story of “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” was written solely to please children of today. It aspires to being a modernized fairy tale, in which the wonderment and joy are retained and the heartaches and nightmares are left out.
L. Frank Baum
Chicago, April, 1900.

I cannot speak highly enough of Cole and Klaine Freeman and their Dance Star Studio. My twin daughters have danced with Dance Star four out of their five years of dance. Ms. Cole is absolutely precious with the children. She treats each child as an individual and doesn’t lump them altogether in a “one-size-fits-all” kind of class. She pulls on the strengths of each child, encouraging each to perform at their best level. “I can’t” does not reside at Dance Star. “I will try my best” is alive and well with Ms. Cole and Ms. Klaine.
Dance Star is a family run business that offers almost any level of dance that a family might desire. If dance is just a hobby for your child but not a passion, your child can excel in their dance class. If your child wants to perform at a more advanced level, Dance Star offers a performance team that is quite active as well as dance convention opportunities. Ms. Cole and Ms. Klaine never push students (or parents) to be involved at the performance team levels. Whatever level of involvement that is right for your child and your family is very much supported at Dance Star. As the mom of two girls involved in dance, I really appreciate the fact that Cole and Klaine try their best to keep dance affordable.
Dance Star provides a positive atmosphere in which students at any age can learn not only to dance, tumble, tap or twirl, but also how to listen, to get along with others and treat them respectfully, to move gracefully, and to feel comfortable on the stage. Thank you, Dance Star for all you have done to help my girls gain in physical strength, flexibility, self-esteem, and confidence. You have greatly added to their overall strength of character.
As a dance dad, Dance Star is a great place. They are awesome with my daughter Ruby! She is learning so much here! After searching around Murfreesboro I am glad I found a dance family for my family to be a part of.
– Michael Miller
Dance Star is an amazing studio, they are not your typical dance studio. Dance Star and all of the staff really pride themselves in giving the best atmosphere for your child in learning not only dance technique and ethics, but also manners and values. Ms. Klaine and Ms. Cole are beyond awesome with the children and their parents. Dance Star is truly a family atmosphere and environment. I am thankful that we are a part of such a wonderful studio. I look forward to being a part of their dance family for many years to come. We have built some new and amazing friendships that we will treasure for a lifetime.
– Bridget Miller
The “Frozen” camp was a lot of fun for Hailey! She didn’t really know what the theme for camp was, but was ecstatic when she found out it was “Frozen”! Her and the other girls were the cutest Elsa’s! The girls did “Frozen” activities and wowed us with 2 final dance routines. Hailey had a blast! Ms. Cole & Ms. Mattie were awesome with the girls!
– Brandon Burns
My son is in the special needs dance class at Dance Star. He is on the autism spectrum, and Ms. Cole is wonderful with him. Ms. Cole is not only helping him with age appropriate dance skills, but with life skills such as following directions, waiting, and taking turns. Having a special needs dance class is so important for our community. We love Dance Star!
– Rachael Slough
When asked about what makes Dance Star special I start with how they not only want dancers to become better at dance but also better people their classes stress commitment and persistence. Opportunities to attend dance conventions to be pushed to achieve more than they thought they could. It has been impressive to watch.
Dance Stars involvement with the community is outstanding, donating time, money and talent to worthy charities such as 2 Dance 2 Dream( a special needs dance program), I Am What I Am (a fund raiser for autism awareness) and many others. Dance Star not only teaches dance but community awareness.
– Carla Herbison

The following is a review of “Warrior” that I wrote today for the IUN newspaper, the Redhawk Review.
In 2004, director/screenwriter Gavin O’Connor showed considerable skill at telling a sports underdog tale with the popular film “Miracle”, based on the true story of the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team. With “Warrior”, this time an original and current narrative, he sets a new high-water mark for himself.
The story centers on brothers Tommy and Brendan Conlon (Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, respectively) and their recovering-alcoholic father Paddy (Nick Nolte). Right from the get-go, the Pittsburgh family’s traumatic past hangs like a specter over the protagonists, informing nearly every nuance of the three men’s performances. Paddy is approaching 1,000 days sober, but as his estranged sons come back into his life, forgiveness for the abuse and neglect that left them scarred and their mother dead does not come easily.
A family of warriors, Tommy and Brendan were both dominant wrestlers in their youth who became fearsome MMA (mixed martial arts; think UFC) fighters as adults. Their father provided both training and, unfortunately, fuel for their respective fires. They seemed destined to finally clash in the ring one day. When a new winner-takes-all middleweight championship with a 5 million dollar purse (which they both have honorable intentions for) comes up, the brothers jump at the opportunity.
Tom Hardy, whom you might recognize as Eames from “Inception”, oozes with an incredibly authentic combination of profound psychic pain and myopic intensity, commanding the viewer’s attention. As we slowly learn throughout the story, the ex-Marine’s motivations are more complex than a grudge against his father. Joel Edgerton is just as convincing, effectively conveying both quiet despair and white-knuckled determination as a man fighting for his wife and children’s future.
The grizzled veteran Nick Nolte shows at least two moments of sheer brilliance. In Paddy’s first scene with his oldest son Brendan, Nolte exudes genuine remorse and heart-wrenching longing. Later, he shows his more belligerent side in a surprisingly tender scene with Hardy, injecting into the film some much-needed catharsis.
Supporting players Jennifer Morrison (of “House” fame), Frank Grillo, Vanessa Martinez, and Kevin Dunn complement the stars well, bolstering the story’s plausibility in various ways.
O’Connor’s direction is classic and straightforward early on, becoming more dynamic and modern during the many climactic fight scenes. Speaking of fight scenes, “Warrior” may be an earnest drama, but it is also a sports movie in the legendary Rocky tradition; No matter how intense the emotions get, the increasingly brutal bouts are exhilarating to behold.
Screenwriters Anthony Tambakis and Cliff Dorfman’s sturdy, fleshed-out screenplay doesn’t overflow with originality and may be a tad long. However, it does present a classic-yet-modern take on the genre while diligently building up to a satisfying resolution of uncanny depth and complexity. The viewer doesn’t want to see either man lose, hoping against hope that both will find solace.
If you’re a fan of MMA fighting, a sucker for underdog stories, or just crave a good applause-inducing sports film, get to the theater and catch “Warrior” while you still can.

This weekend, the KC Blues Rugby Football Club is hosting their summer 7's tournament at Hodge Park 9am-5pm Saturday. Teams from all over the Midwest and MoKan area are coming to have a crack at 1st place in the opening tournament for the summer. There will be snacks, beers, and good sport all to be watched on what is supposed to be a nice day.
Summer 7's is 7 on 7 rugby with 7 minute halves in a tournament style bracket. Teams play in generally pools of 3 or 4 and the top 1 to 2 teams advance to the elimination rounds. In this particular tournament, there will be a Men's Division and Boy's High School Division. Plenty of talent will be on display to kick off the season, and a lot of Blues players will prove themselves, knock off the rust, and have a good run at the upcoming tournament. High schoolers from around the area will get to show their stuff too, with future Blues players and possible talent for USA Rugby as well. If you're looking for something to do, come watch a few games out at Hodge. It's a great place to watch good sport and learn the game of rugby, as well as have a couple drinks too. I may be biased, but I can't recommend rugby events enough. Even if you don't know the game too well they're still a fun and welcoming social atmosphere. Come out and see it some time!

The top casino bonuses and promotions will serve you, the player, in the best possible way. As a subjective term, “best” implies what will work for you and may not work for someone else. For this reason, we are going to explore the types of casino bonuses and promotions made available to online players. It is up to you to choose the bonus or promotion package that works on the games you like to play. Each casino has terms and conditions that outline wagering requirements designed to allow players to keep their winnings. Before choosing a casino bonus or promotion make certain you read through the terms and conditions, understanding the details, and what you need to do before you can withdraw any winnings and bonus from your online account.
Casino bonuses come in a variety of styles with two major headings, deposit, no deposit. A deposit bonus will require you to put money from your bank account into the online casino account before you are credited with the online casino bonus. No deposit promotions are provided without a deposit from you.
Welcome Bonus – a first-time player bonus at a casino. A welcome bonus is given to any player who is creating an online account for the first time with a casino. The rules state you must be new to the site and cannot try to establish a new login after letting an account lapse or after closing an account. A welcome bonus is usually a match bonus, where you make a deposit of $300, the casino will match it up to a certain amount. For example, the first deposit may be 100% match, and a second deposit is 50% matched, with a third deposit 25% matched. Some welcome bonuses only pay out once for a fixed amount. Several may come with free spins as part of the promotions. The free spins are generally targeted for a specific slot machine game.
Match Bonus – a match bonus is a changing amount with a fixed maximum. For example, if you deposit $200 and it is a 100% match of up to $250, you will receive $200 from the casino. Read more about match bonuses here.
Fixed Casino Bonus – a casino bonus with a specific amount, no matter what you deposit. You may be asked to deposit $100, and the casino will provide $50.
Fixed Casino Bonus – a no deposit casino bonus is a fixed bonus. Without putting money into your account, the casino may provide $5 up to $100 in a deposit. Most no deposit bonuses are small in scale.
Click here for everything you need to know about where, when and how online casino no deposit bonuses work for Asian players.
Free Spins – an opportunity to play a specific slot machine or any slot the casino has to offer. When you are given free spins, you are allowed to keep the winnings, based on the wagering requirements. Free spins can be paired with the best casino bonuses or be a standalone promotion.
Click here for everything you need to know about free spins bonuses for Asian players.
Freeroll Tournaments – tournaments are different from free spins. In a freeroll tournament, you are playing a specific game against other players, continuing to play until you run out of spins or time. The winner of the tournament is the one with the most winnings during the game. The award is the prize money noted by the casino.
The best casino bonuses and promotions will have wagering requirements that you must adhere to as a way to keep any winnings. Each online casino has their precise rules, but here are a few generalities that fit most casino bonuses.
Each casino has different methods for accepting a casino bonus. To make it simple, most companies display the best casino bonuses on the casino bonuses and promotions page, with a place to click to accept. However, emailed bonuses may require you to email your acceptance code before the money is provided. You may also need a “code” to enter or to send a contact staff request to ask for a bonus to be allocated to you.
As a player, you want to have the maximum amount of fun possible in an online casino, whether you enjoy slots or table games. Bonuses and promotions help you have the most entertainment without risking your funds. The best casino bonuses and promotions available are designed to give a player something they desire for a game they love to play.
You may be required to make a deposit, however, in the end, you have money to play with, winnings to cash out, and entertainment for several hours.

Ed Skrein is a talented actor from England, known for his remarkable roles in movies and TV shows. You might remember him as Daario Naharis in the renowned HBO series Game of Thrones Season 3.
But his Hollywood journey doesn’t stop there. He’s been in many other cool stuff like The Tunnel, Northmen: A Viking Saga, Deadpool, Alita: Battle Angel, Naked Singularity, I Used to Be Famous, and Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon.
Everyone’s talking about his big role as Balisarius in Zack Snyder’s space movie for Netflix, Rebel Moon. But there’s more to this story.
We’re about to explore Skrein’s personal life and how his relationship with rumored wife Tara Wilson and even Hollywood superstar Angelina Jolie is connected in a tale of love, fame, and the movies.
Tara Wilson is not Ed Skrein’s wife
Skrein isn’t married to anyone, and he’s been super secretive about his personal life. No news about him saying “I do” to a wife or having a girlfriend has popped up.
Now, some gossip is floating around. People thought Wilson was his wife, but that’s not true. Wilson is a different lady altogether. She’s an actress from Canada, married to someone else named Chris Noth, and they have two kids.
But here’s the deal: Skrein is a dad despite not being married. He has a son named Marley, born around 2011 (we’re still determining when). But he hasn’t spilled the beans about who Marley’s mom is or whether they’re still together.

In an interview, Skrein mentioned that he spends his free time with his son and family. He gets all emotional during touching moments, even when watching movies. He thinks being a dad is the most essential thing in his life and gives his life a sense of purpose.
Much earlier, it was said that Skrein lived with his partner and their son in East London, but we’re in 2023 now, and we can’t confirm if they’re still together or have gone their separate ways.
Also, he has not shared much about his son Marley on social media or in public. To conclude, he likes to keep his family life private. Furthermore, there are no reports of Skrein dating a girlfriend at the moment, so he might be single unless he’s still together with his baby mama.
Ed Skrein was previously linked to Angelina Jolie
Back in 2018, there was a lot of talk about Jolie and Skrein. They were working together on the movie Maleficent 2, and some people thought they might be more than just co-stars.
It was said that Jolie had a little crush on Skrein, who was 35 years old at the time. She liked the idea of working with him, not just because he was a great actor, but also because she wanted to get to know him better.
They were spending a lot of time together, and it was even rumored that she introduced Skrein to her kids. They were seen hanging out at his place in London.

Rumors went even further, saying they were serious about their relationship and thinking about the future. Skrein was considering moving to Los Angeles after they finished shooting the movie because they didn’t want to be apart.
But here’s the thing: all of this was just rumors. There’s been no official confirmation that Jolie and Skrein were actually dating.
It could have just been people talking and guessing. So, as of now, it’s still a mystery whether there was anything romantic between them.
Ed Skrein’s career and net worth
Skrein is from London, born in March 1983, and he’s a guy who does a couple of cool things – acting and rapping.
He started acting in 2012 when he appeared in some movies like Piggy, Ill Manors, and The Sweeney. But the big moment came in 2013 when he played Daario Naharis in the famous show Game of Thrones.

Skrein has been in a bunch of movies, too, like Northmen: A Viking Saga, Sword of Vengeance, Tiger House, Kill Your Friends, The Transporter Refueled, Deadpool, and The Model.
He even won an award for his fight scene in Deadpool with Ryan Reynolds. Besides acting, he’s also a rapper. He dropped his first album called The Eat Up in 2007. Before that, he released a couple of smaller music projects in 2004 and 2007.
So, to sum it up, Skrein has done some cool stuff in music and acting. He’s earned a net worth of around $7 million along the way, which shows just how successful he’s been in the entertainment world.
Ed Skrein’s role in ‘Rebel Moon’
Skrein’s role in the upcoming movie Rebel Moon is a big deal. The film will be in theaters for a short time before you can watch it on Netflix starting December 22, 2023.
So, what’s the story? Well, it’s set on a faraway moon where a peaceful place is in big trouble because some really mean rulers are causing problems. Their best hope for survival is a mysterious person who lives among them.
The movie is directed by Zack Snyder, famous for making superhero films. Some talented folks wrote the script, including Shay Hatten, Kurt Johnstad, and Snyder.
Alongside Skrein, you’ll see other big stars like Sofia Boutella and Cleopatra Coleman, which is pretty exciting.
It’s all about a clash between tough folks and those wanting peace. Skrein plays Admiral Noble, and he’s in charge of a bunch of soldiers on a huge spaceship called The King’s Gaze.
He works for Regent Balisarius, played by Fra Fee, who’s the big boss in that part of the galaxy. Admiral Noble is not nice; he’s all about being tough and not caring much about doing the right thing.
He’s driven by ambition in a world where doing good seems to be fading away. As for the story’s setting, there’s a town called Providence that has an old-timey American West look, thanks to Snyder’s cool style.
‘Ballerina’ Star Park Yu-rim’s Family, Dating Life, and Boyfriend Explored
Park Yu-rim is all set to star in Netflix’s upcoming movie ‘Ballerina.’
Emerging South Korean actress Park Yu-rim has been building up impressive credentials in the film industry over the past few years.
She first gained widespread attention for her role in the critically acclaimed movie Drive My Car, which bagged the Best International Feature Film at the 2022 Academy Awards.
Now, Park is set to further raise her profile by starring in the upcoming Netflix thriller Ballerina. Directed by Lee Chung-hyun, the revenge drama sees Park playing the character Min-hee.
With Ballerina slated to premiere globally on Netflix on October 6, 2023, her talents will be spotlighted by audiences around the world. As her fame quickly grows, interest in the rising star’s personal life off-screen heightens as well.
Fans are eager to learn more about Park’s background, relationships, and future ambitions as she reaches a new level of her career with Ballerina.
Park Yu-Rim has never spoken about her love life publicly
While interest in the rising Korean actress continues growing, especially with her upcoming Netflix project Ballerina, it’s worth noting that Park has kept details of her romantic relationships completely out of the public eye.
Park herself has never spoken about having a boyfriend or being romantically involved with anyone. Her agency also does not comment on or confirm any dating news regarding the actress.

This leaves fans wondering if Park is currently single or secretly dating someone privately. She may intentionally want to keep that aspect of her life confidential, which would not be surprising given the intense scrutiny Korean celebrities face.
Whatever her relationship status, Park values maintaining privacy when it comes to her personal affairs and connections. Any rumors about who she may or may not be dating are pure speculation unless Park confirms them.
Her focus for now is fully on advancing her film career, not sharing her love life. Fans will have to keep wondering if Park has a special someone supporting her behind the scenes or if she is fully devoted to her blossoming acting path.
Park Yu-Rim is a private individual
Korean actress Park is highly private when it comes to both her love life and family details. Just as she has never spoken publicly about dating or relationships, she also keeps information about her parents, any potential siblings, and her upbringing completely out of the spotlight.
She has not shared the names or occupations of her mother and father, likely intentionally keeping them removed from her public career. It is unclear if Park has any brothers, sisters, or is an only child.

Essentially, the rising star’s family connections and origins remain a mystery. This further highlights Park’s desire to maintain a clear separation between her professional acting pursuits and personal history.
She seems to prefer letting her work speak for itself without relying on her family background for publicity or buzz. While many celebrities use their origins and family ties to build their brand, Park has steered entirely clear of leveraging her inner circle for professional gain.
As she continues captivating global audiences, especially through Netflix’s Ballerina, fans will have to accept that Park’s family life may always remain her closely guarded secret.
Park Yu-rim is not deaf in real life
Park delivered an acclaimed performance as the deaf character Lee Yoo-na in the Oscar-winning film Drive My Car. Her moving and nuanced portrayal of Yoo-na, who communicates through sign language, captivated audiences.
However, Park herself is not deaf in real life. She took on the role of a deaf woman convincingly through sheer acting talent. Park’s ability to compellingly depict Yoo-na’s physicality and expressions with such delicacy highlighted her skills.

Drive My Car marked the first major film role for Park, who had acted in minor TV parts previously. Though not deaf, she showed dedication to authentically representing the deaf experience on screen.
Her emotional performance was praised for adding an impactful layer to the film without sensationalism. While playing a deaf character could seem like a significant challenge for a hearing actress, she skillfully avoided caricature through research and commitment to the craft.
Audiences were moved by her humanizing portrayal, which transcended assumptions. Park proved she could immerse herself in any character with sincerity.
Park Yu-rim’s career in movies and net worth
Park has been building up an impressive resume with roles in both television and film since starting her acting career in 2017. Some of her early minor parts were in dramas like Kingdom, Romance Is a Bonus Book, and My First First Love.
She gained wider attention after her delicate performance as the deaf character Lee Yoo-na in the Academy Award-winning film Drive My Car in 2021. This breakthrough role allowed Park to demonstrate her emotional depth and acting skills on an international stage.

Other recent projects include TV shows like Extraordinary Attorney Woo and Miraculous Brothers in 2022 and 2023. Though still an emerging talent, Park’s net worth is estimated at around $1 million – $2 million as of 2023, reflecting her rising profile.
While not yet hugely wealthy, the Korean actress is certainly on an upward career and financial trajectory. As she books more prominent roles, like Netflix’s Ballerina, Park’s net worth and fame will likely continue to grow steadily in the coming years.
Park Yu-Rim is also part of a K-pop girl group
Along with being an actress, Park is also a member of the K-pop girl group 3YE under GH Entertainment. She first debuted in 2017 as part of the five-member girl group Apple.B, releasing their single ‘Woochuchu.’
After Apple.B disbanded in 2018, Park went on to re-debut the next year as part of the trio 3YE with fellow Apple.B members Yujin and Haeun.
Since their debut in May 2019 with the song ‘DMT,’ 3YE has put out several more singles, including ‘OOMM’ and ‘Queen.’
They released their fourth single, ‘Stalker’, in October 2020. Along with 3YE’s music activities, Park has been concurrently acting in Korean dramas and films. She started transitioning more to working full-time in recent years as her on-screen career took off.
But her experience as a K-pop idol gave Park a strong foundation in dance, performance, and entertainment. Even as an actress, she still draws upon her girl group background.
‘Ballerina’ Star Jun Jong-seo Is Open about Dating Life but Remains Mum about Family
Jun Jong-seo is gradually growing into an internationally acclaimed actress.
Emerging South Korean actress Jun Jong-seo has quickly made a name for herself over the past few years with riveting performances in film and television.
Though new to the entertainment scene, Jong-seo immediately impressed, landing the lead in her first-ever audition for the acclaimed 2018 mystery Burning opposite established stars.
Her emotionally complex portrayal earned praise and spotlighted Jong-seo as a talent to watch. She went on to prove her acting range in projects like the thriller The Call and Netflix’s hit series Money Heist: Korea.
She continues to take on compelling roles, including her upcoming part in the Netflix movie Ballerina. As the 27-year-old’s star rises rapidly on screen, fans are curious to learn more about her life off camera.
How did Jong-seo get her start in acting? What’s known of the ultra-private actress’ family, relationships, and inner circle? As Jong-seo continues captivating audiences worldwide, her personal story and future career ambitions will draw equal interest.
Jeon Jong-seo’s boyfriend and dating life
Jong-seo is currently in a relationship with director Lee Chung-hyun. The two met while working together on the 2020 thriller film The Call, which Lee directed and Jong-seo starred opposite Park Shin-hye.
During filming, they developed a natural interest and chemistry with one another. After keeping their budding romance private for some time, Jong-seo’s agency confirmed in December 2021 that she and Lee recently began officially dating.

Lee also gave an interview confirming they transitioned from colleagues to a couple after realizing their feelings on the sets of The Call. He shared that they had started going on public dates, though they initially kept things low-key.
Now, their friends and acquaintances are aware of the relationship. And while there is that, it could also be said that Jong-seo’s acclaimed performance in The Call, for which she won a Baeksang Arts Award, impressed Lee. As of now, the love birds are still together.
Their time together has led to a meaningful personal connection as well. Lee and Jong-seo’s upcoming collaboration on the Netflix film Ballerina will allow them to work together as partners and co-creators. Fans are delighted to see Jong-seo happily thriving in her career and love life.
What we know about Jun Jong-Seo’s family
Jong-seo was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1994. Though she calls Korea home now, she spent most of her childhood living in Canada with her family. She attended middle school there before returning to Korea for high school.
After graduating, Jong-seo began studying film at Sejong University. But in 2018, she took a break from her studies to pursue acting opportunities. Tragically, her father passed away in February 2023, a loss she continues grieving.

Jong-seo was raised as an only child without any siblings. She does have two pet dogs named Yuki and Billie, who she dotes on. Having lived in Korea and Canada, Jong-seo likely has an international perspective shaped by her upbringing.
She is very close with her mother, who may have supported Jong-seo’s acting aspirations after the tragic loss of her father. While reserved about her family, fans hope to see Jong-seo continue succeeding in her career and healing with her loved ones by her side.
Debunking the rumors behind Jun Jong-Seo’s plastic surgery
Rising Korean star Jong-seo has been the subject of plastic surgery rumors. Still, they stem from her role in a movie rather than real-life procedures.
In the acclaimed 2018 film Burning, Jong-seo’s character Haemi is shown to have had plastic surgery, which surprises her old classmate Jongsu when he fails to recognize the new Haemi.

This fictional plot point led to assumptions that Jong-seo herself had gone under the knife. In truth, the 28-year-old actress has never gotten any surgical enhancements in real life.
Her natural beauty has served her well, allowing her to build a modeling career in addition to acting. With a height of 5 feet 5 inches, brown eyes, black hair, and fair skin, Jong-seo has a versatile look that suits her profession.
In reality, any gossip about the actress having plastic surgery likely comes from audiences conflating her with her on-screen role. Jong-seo is confident in her appearance, just as it is. She became a star based on her acting talent and charisma, not artificial improvements.
Jun Jong-Seo’s role in the highly anticipated movie ‘Ballerina’
Jong-seo is set to star as the lead character Ok-ju in the upcoming Netflix revenge thriller Ballerina. The film centers on Ok-ju, a former bodyguard with exceptional combat skills who seeks vengeance for the murder of her dear friend Min-hee, played by Park Yoo-rim.
Ok-ju was willing to risk everything to honor Min-hee’s dying request that she kill Min-hee’s enemy, Pro Choi, portrayed by Kim Ji-hoon.
Jong-seo’s Ok-ju demonstrates fierce determination as she relentlessly hunts Choi while wearing Min-hee’s ballet costume, wielding a gun, and showcasing her fighting abilities.
Ballerina marks Jong-seo’s reunion with director Lee Chung-hyun after their successful collaboration on the critically acclaimed thriller The Call. It also pairs her again with co-star Kim Ji-hoon following their roles in Netflix’s hit series Money Heist: Korea.
Jong-seo’s gripping performance as the vengeance-seeking Ok-ju will captivate and impress audiences globally when Ballerina premieres on Netflix on October 6, 2023. Her emotional depth and action skills make Jong-seo the perfect fit for this complex lead role.
Insight on Kim Ji-hun’s Age, Family, Wife, Net Worth, and Netflix Career
Kim Ji-hun is back in the spotlight with Netflix’s ‘Love to Hate you.’
Veteran South Korean actor Kim Ji-hun, also known as Kim Ji-hoon, has become more globally recognized recently thanks to high-profile Netflix projects like Money Heist: Korea and a new series on Netflix.
After years of success in Korean television, Kim portrays fan-favorite character Denver in Money Heist: Korea, catapulting his fame worldwide. Now he stars in Netflix’s 2023 release Love to Hate You as a confidant to the male lead.
With Kim’s career reaching new heights, interest in the prolific actor’s personal life and background has also been piqued. How old is Kim, and what is his family situation? Who is his wife?
And how much is the Korean star now worth, thanks to his thriving Netflix stardom? As Kim continues captivating global audiences, his story, both on and off camera, will surely enthrall newfound fans across borders.
Unraveling the truth behind Kim Ji-hun’s partner
Kim keeps details of his personal life private, so his current relationship status is uncertain. There are no signs of a girlfriend on his social media, leading many to assume he is currently single.
In the past, some outlets reported that Kim was previously married to a woman named Lee Jong-eun in 2007, and they shared a son. However, Kim has never officially confirmed being married or having a child.

These reports of a former wife and kid remain unverified rumors. Throughout his career, Kim has never spoken publicly about his romantic life.
Some fans used to ship him with former co-stars like Nam Sang-mi, but these were just on-screen partnerships, and the co-stars were not dating.
While Kim stays mum about who he may or may not be dating, he has expressed being open to marriage in principle. For now, the actor seems entirely focused on his thriving acting career.
To conclude, unless Kim himself substantiates the rumors, his relationship status should be considered single, and any past marriage remains speculative, not a confirmed fact.
Kim Ji-hun is relatively private about his family life
While South Korean actor Kim has had a prolific career in television for many years, he tends to keep his personal life and family out of the public eye. Kim, who is 42 years of age now, has avoided revealing details about his parents, potential siblings, or other family members.
He has never shared photos or information about his relatives on social media or in interviews. The star was born in Seoul on May 9, 1981, but little is known about his upbringing and origins.

Kim seems to prefer keeping his family removed from the spotlight of his celebrity life. However, during a recent appearance on My Little Old Boy show, Kim mentioned inheriting his good looks from his parents.
He also revealed his father had even worked as a commercial actor. But beyond this tidbit, Kim’s family connections remain a mystery since the actor values privacy regarding his inner circle.
Unless Kim himself decides to discuss them publicly, facts about his family may remain scarce due to his guarded nature.
Behind Kim Ji-hun’s net worth and career
Kim has built up an impressive resume and net worth of around a million over his decades-long career. He first entered the entertainment scene in 2002 with a supporting role in the drama Loving You.
After playing minor parts in various projects, he landed his breakout lead role in 2006’s Great Inheritance. This helped establish Kim’s name and led to more opportunities in hit shows like Stars Falling from the Sky and The Golden Age of Daughters-in-Law.

Kim has now appeared in over 20 TV series and films, spanning different genres. His prolific career has allowed him to amass a net worth estimated above $1 million as of 2022.
In recent years, Kim has enjoyed renewed popularity worldwide thanks to joining the cast of Netflix’s Money Heist: Korea as fan-favorite character Denver.
The global reach of this buzzy Netflix remake has introduced Kim to wider audiences. As he continues taking on engaging roles, Kim’s fortune and fame will likely keep rising steadily.
Kim Ji-hun’s role in Netflix’s ‘Love to Hate You
Kim takes on the part of Won Joon in the 2023 Netflix romantic comedy Love to Hate You. His character is a top actor described as a “master kisser.”
Won Joon helps coach his friend Kang Ho, played by Teo Yoo, on how to overcome kissing anxiety before an acting role. Their almost-kissing scene showcases the easy chemistry and charm between Kim and Yoo’s characters.
Won Joon also develops a sweet connection with Kang Ho’s manager, Na Eun, portrayed by Go Won-hee. As Na Eun tries to avoid falling for Won Joon’s handsome looks, their romantic storyline depicts the struggles of denying one’s feelings.
Kim’s nuanced performance draws viewers into Won Joon’s journey from the first flutterings of love to eventually pursuing Na Eun openly.
In interviews, Kim has praised how Love to Hate You subverts typical rom-com tropes by presenting a fiercely independent heroine determined to succeed in a male-dominated law firm. Kim brings depth and emotion to his role as part of this empowering narrative.

Anyone who creates has some sort of influence that has stuck with them from childhood. Game developers remember their first time playing DOOM or Super Mario Bros. Musicians recall their first time hearing Beethoven or Tchaikovsky or U2 or Ludacris. Writers look back to any book they picked up from their local library’s kids section.
I remember five distinct pieces of media – two books, two book series, and a video game – that have stuck with me to this day and have influenced much of the characters in my personal canon. I’ll share those with you now.
Magic Tree House by Mary Pope Osborne (1992-present)
I love that Mary Pope Osborne is still writing the Magic Tree House series. My nephews and nieces have read the newer books in the series while I have fond memories of the first ones. If you went to elementary school in America, chances are that you read the Magic Tree House books as well, and maybe you loved them as much as I did. But for the uninitiated:
Jack and Annie Smith are two kids living in the quiet town of Frog Creek, Pennsylvania (which doesn’t exist, although you can replace it with just about anywhere in Pennsylvania.) One day, they discover a tree house in their backyard which is operated by Morgan le Fay, the enchantress from Arthurian legend. The treehouse is full of magic books, and every time the kids open a book, the treehouse takes them inside the book’s world. Often, Morgan – and later on Merlin – will leave clues hidden in these books to get the kids to solve a mystery.
The Magic Tree House series still goes strong today because it’s a masterpiece of children’s literature. It mixes history with fantasy, fun and danger, and kid-friendly simplicity with more complex themes from throughout the literary and historical canon. I like to consider the series as the base that shaped my imagination; the other pieces of media on this list more fully shaped my specific interests, but without Magic Tree House, there’s nothing.
Ghost Twins by Dian Curtis Regan (1994-1995)
As I explained in my post about the imaginary friends, the Ghost Twins series influenced Robbie and Beka Stevenson, two of my oldest characters. Regan’s books follow Robbie and Beka Zuffel, twins who drowned in Kickingbird Lake fifty years before the series begins. The lake becomes part of a resort, and as visitors start to frequent the site, Robbie, Beka, and their ghost dog Thatch get involved in all sorts of hijinks.
Ghost Twins was the first piece of media that really stuck with me. I clung on to the supernatural tones, mostly because I read the books during a formative time in my life where I started to wonder what happened to people when they died. The idea of ghosts moving around in the shadows and causing all sorts of trouble interested me, and so I started to write more about paranormal events and dark fantasy. You’re going to notice that the other books on this list follow this theme. I credit my fourth and fifth grade teachers for this.
Stonewords by Pamela Louise Conrad (1990)
With all due respect to Ms. Conrad, Stonewords absolutely messed me up.
Stonewords introduces readers to Zoe and Zoe Louise, two best friends who have grown up together since childhood. Zoe lives with her grandparents, while Zoe Louise is a ghost who has haunted the house for over a hundred years. Zoe and Zoe Louise can visit each other’s worlds through the unused back stairs in the house, and as Zoe grows up and learns more about her friend’s demise, she becomes obsessed with finding out how to save Zoe Louise. But both of them fear that if Zoe meddles in the past, she’ll destroy the friendship that they have in the present.
This book got me into the ramifications of time travel, as well as the idea of everyday objects or liminal spaces acting as portals to other times and dimensions. It was also the first young adult novel that I read with well-crafted female characters. Not only are Zoe and Zoe Louise major protagonists, but Zoe’s mom and grandma each have developed backstories and personalities that make them feel like much more than supporting characters.
The reason that this story messed me up is because it went hard with the gruesome details. No spoilers, but there’s a part where Zoe is watching the ghost of Zoe Louise kind of deteriorate in front of her, and I’d be a goddamned liar if I said that didn’t give me nightmares for a week.
Much like I did with Ghost Twins, I borrowed Zoe from Stonewords and crafted her into a new character for my own canon. She shares a tiny bit of the backstory – no dad, messed-up mom, grew up living with her grandparents – but other than that, she’s totally different. She didn’t have a ghost friend growing up, but I can neither confirm nor deny that she had an imaginary friend.
Time for Andrew by Mary Downing Hahn (1994)
I read Time for Andrew at the same time that I read Stonewords. This was because my fifth grade teacher was trying to introduce us to the idea of synthesis essays, and she figured that the books were similar enough that we would get the idea of how to write a good paper. I loved both of these books so much that I got an A+ on the assignment, but I got in trouble because I read ahead of the rest of the class. (I don’t actually remember what grade I got, but the getting in trouble definitely happened. I was a bright kid! Sue me.)
Time for Andrew follows Drew, your average mid-Nineties middle-class soft boy, who’s visiting his great-aunt for the summer. During his stay, he receives a visit from Andrew, a more aggressive kid who has materialized in the present from 1910 and is technically Drew’s great-great-uncle. Andrew is dying of diphtheria, so Drew agrees to switch places so that Andrew can get better through modern medicine. For a time, Drew explores 1910 and learns about the past, his family, and the trials of growing up at the turn of the century. Andrew, meanwhile, reaps the benefits that the 1990s have to offer. Of course, Drew wants to return to his own life, but Andrew’s not going to go back to the old times without some sort of price.
This book stuck with me because it had similar themes to Ghost Twins and Stonewords, which I already loved. But it also played with the theme of alternate selves, another concept which has wormed its way into some of my writing. This also messed me up a little bit; I started to wonder if the people we meet are really from this timeline or if they’ve switched places with folks from different times or universes. I also started to think about the idea of a multiverse, or at least the fickleness of our universe. If Andrew and Drew didn’t switch back, what would have happened to Drew’s family? Would the whole world have become different? Would – could – such a thing happen in the real world?
Anyway, it freaked me the hell out. While I didn’t borrow any characters from Time For Andrew, it got me into reading more YA and adult historical fiction. I already had an interest in historical fiction from reading the Magic Tree House series, but Time For Andrew acted as a bridge between the kids’ section and the adult section of the library.
Eagle Eye Mysteries (1993)
Back in the 1990s, Electronic Arts (known today as the infamous EA) spun off their children’s software division into EA*Kids and published all sorts of DOS games for a younger audience. One of these games was Stormfront Studios’ Eagle Eye Mysteries, a point-and-click whodunnit game with dozens of different mysteries for kids to solve. (Old gamers will recognize Stormfront Studios as the developers of famous pioneer MMORPG Neverwinter Nights, the early 3-D fantasy adventure Stronghold, and of course, Tony La Russa Baseball.)
Eagle Eye Mysteries featured Jennifer and Jake Eagle, two kids from the fictional suburb of Richview who ran their own private investigation business out of a treehouse in their backyard. (Man, the Nineties really was all about treehouses, huh?) It was one of the first games to feature full voice acting, which was huge because the game featured so many challenges and all sorts of different characters. It made the game that much more immersive, and at a time with limited technology, that was a massive feat to pull off.
From Eagle Eye Mysteries, I learned how to worldbuild. Richview wasn’t a big place, but it felt like one because of the characters and places featured in all of the Eagles’ mysteries. So much goes into creating even the smallest of towns, and before playing the game I had no idea how much detail went into developing a location to make it feel real. I also learned how to build suspense, as while the mysteries featured in the game weren’t terribly complex, they were written in such a way that really made you wonder who actually did the dang thing.
The game influenced my writing in that my earliest stuff featured a lot of sibling pairs, many of whom are still part of my character canon to this day (Monica and Lee Marrows, Robbie and Beka, Jimmy and Adrianne Finkle). But it would also sneak back into my writing later on, as I developed Mallory McAllister into a mystery-solver who runs her own agency out of her old house in Brooklyn.
Wrap it up
So that’s a little dip into the media influences from my childhood. I don’t think it’s strange at all that these works about solving crimes and ghosts and time travel and death have stuck with me more than, say, Sesame Street or Mister Rogers. But then again, I was a weird and curious kid. I went to the library to look through the periodicals. I would spend my time reading through translation dictionaries. By the time they started teaching us about sex in school, I knew everything already because I’d often sneak into the romance section of the local Barnes & Noble. And folks, I’m happy to say that I still managed to turn out as a well-adjusted, totally normal adult with no messed-up traits whatsoever.

Tamora Pierce made sure I could never fall out of love with the fantasy genre. My cousin introduced me to her books when I was twelve and bought me the first two as a gift. Though skeptical at first, I quickly fell in love with The Song of the Lioness series and its protagonist Alanna of Trebond. By the time I read Lioness Rampant, the last book in the series, I was hooked and desperate for more. As it turned out, I was in luck. Tamora Pierce is a very prolific author. Next I read the Protector of the Small series, featuring Keladry of Mindelan. In Song of the Lioness, I found something I had never seen or read before. In Alanna and the other female characters that surrounded her, I found characters that not only fought and took names, but were also shockingly unladylike, deeply flawed, and to the adolescent me, strangely self-interested. Perhaps only in Brian Jacques’ Redwall series with the likes of Cregga Roseyes and others had I encountered female characters who got to be impulsive and selfish, without being easily disliked. Even then, most of those characters ended up mellowing in the end or suffering some form of consequence for their disposition. Pierce’s heroines, though, were short-tempered, fearful, reckless, haughty, naïve, and a laundry list of other characteristics on top of being brave, dignified, intelligent, tough, kind, and protective, and for the most part, they stayed that way. To use another word, they felt human.
I could go on for quite some time about Pierce’s world building skills, but I only fell in love with that aspect of her writing in retrospect. The diversity of her characters, in nearly all manners is what made me realize, even as a preteen and teenager, that I’d be buying these books for my kids and reading them into adulthood. Perhaps it was because I led a comparable sheltered life to other kids, but I had never encountered an LGBT character in a book before, let alone in one about fantasy. I had also only encountered characters of color in two other fantasy series before, J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series and Jenny Nimmo’s Charlie Bone series, to be specific. Never before had I encountered characters of color in high fantasy before, where non-white characters could exist alongside knights, lords, and ladies. The Tortall Universe had Kebibi Ahuda, Buriram Tourakom, Dovasary and Saraiyu Balitang, and others. The Circle Universe had Daja Kisubo and Evumeimei Dingzai, among others. All these people, whom it seemed so strange and thrilling in fantasy novels, had roles and did things by their own motivation! They didn’t just serve the purpose of some other character or serve as side props to the story. These characters showed me that there was a place for me in fantasy. There was a place for my dark skin, braids, and big hair in my favorite genre. In the same way that I latched onto Daja Kisubo, a metal and fire-magic wielding black girl, I’m sure other readers were able to latch onto other characters and hold them close to their hearts.
The characters felt real to me, as diverse and humanly flawed as they were, but so did the details of their lives. Tamora Pierce writes high fantastic, focused, precise character driven stories. This is by no means unique to her writing, but she takes time to include the incidentals that so many adolescent girls care about. Her attendance to these issues only make her stories and her characters more compelling, as they have to deal not only with the fates of their friends and their realms, but also the seemingly insignificant things that affect the day-to-day lives of girls and women all over the world.
Nearly all her female characters at some point have to make provisions for their monthlies, something so simple and routine but so often overlooked in fantasy fiction. For Alanna of Trebond, a girl posing as a boy, this becomes a bit of a plot point in her first story. Beka Cooper, heroine of the Provost’s Dog series, seeks tea to soothe her cramps and sorts out fantasy birth control. Keladry of Mindelan suffers the mortification of receiving the sex-talk from her commanding knight. These heroines deal nurse crushes, personal vanities, ruin nice dresses, and a host of other things, and they still take names in the midst of it all. They didn’t have to be divorced from the little pieces of life that popped up in order to function as role models and leaders. They get to deal with the same things adolescents across the world deal with and still lead the day.
The heroines of Tamora Pierce’s novels present real and heartfelt representations of girls as they grow up and grow into themselves. They’re flawed human beings who come from many walks of life and many different persuasions. As they move through their respective adventures, they learn both to use their flaws to their advantage and also grow and help others grow as people. Unlike so many other heroines, they don’t tag along to help some hero along. They don’t have to hide life’s normal, everyday happenings in order to succeed. They’re people, plain and simple, and they live their own stories.

It is the dream of every online slots player to hit the big jackpot. To do this, most times players will go on a surf hunt to find which online casinos have the best slot machines. Since the online casino industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, most times players will find what they are looking for. However, not all casinos will offer high payouts, and we can’t promise to give you a definitive list of the best paying online slots either. What we will do, however, is tell you how you can get the maximum payout from the slots you currently play.
Every online slot game is different from any other one. The options are different, especially considering if you are playing in an online environment. In a live casino, you have to move from one slot machine to another. Online slots are a different thing altogether. All it takes to switch is to go to the casino’s main page and select the slot that you wish to play. By this setting, it figures that every game will vary, and the payout will also be different. That said there are still ways to ensure that you get the most out of the slot you are playing.
If you do happen to come across an online slot that offers a high payout, make sure that you play the lines correctly. The traditional slots that offer a single line pay will often payout the most cash to players who bet on maximum credits. For such slots, the big pot is only accessible if you bet max credits.
The multi-line online slots, on the other hand, will rarely reward you for betting max. The best way to get the maximum payout on such slots is to play every line. Play every line and read the bonus information beforehand. Some bonuses will require a minimum bet to activate a combination. If you are unable to play every line and bet the minimum per line, then you should change your bet denomination.
Online slots with the highest payout percentages often are those with paytables that are huge from the bottom up. It’s common for some slots to offer huge jackpots, but very often the rest of the paytable is left to its own devices. If you are going to spend your time on a particular slot game, then go for one that has spread its winnings consistently on the paytable. For such paytables, if you do get lucky and hit it big, you will go home a very happy camper. If it doesn’t happen to be your day, then you can rest assured that you’ll still go home with a little something for your efforts.
Use the above tips to ensure that you get the maximum payout every time you play online slots. If you do want to get serious about it, you can contact the casino support staff about the payout percentages. While not every casino will proudly display that information, they are required to keep track of it at all times, for all slots.

The soundtrack of a movie sets the tone, establishing how a production is remembered. Sometimes, it becomes more successful than the actual movie while more often than not, we can’t recall the music from something we viewed. It has been proven that whereas poor video quality can be overlooked, poor audio quality is almost always unforgivable.
It is important to use a stand-alone microphone while filming. Camera microphones provide low-quality audio and will have a negative impact on what you’re presenting. Visuals can be edited and adjusted, but modest audio will ruin your production. When videos are watched, sound effects and background music often go unnoticed: This means that the quality is superior and the person who worked on the sound did an excellent job selecting and synchronizing visual accompaniments. A good engineer is often responsible for superior quality.
Music may determine if viewers receive your message or become immersed in what they’re seeing. In contrast, it can be distracting and give off a message that’s unintentional. Poor music selection makes a video undesirable while a better choice can captivate an audience and promote resonation. Sometimes, songs and musicians are used to help market and promote a movie, but the music may not necessarily be featured in the film. Instead, it’s used for branding and building interest and excitement for its debut. For example, The Hunger Games soundtrack was star-studded and featured “Safe & Sound,” a chart-topping single by Taylor Swift. While the song was composed for the soundtrack, it wasn’t incorporated into the movie.
This central component is what you’ll probably notice more when you’re watching an action movie. If you’re watching something that’s calm like a scene at a park, a lot of audio will go unnoticed.
Dialogue isn’t always perfect when recorded on set, so actors return to the studio and re-record their lines. Scenes intended to trigger emotion require pristine discourse accompanied by the right music or sound when incorporated.
The audio in your production is even more important than your visuals. It’s imperative, whether you’re doing a corporate video for your company, an independent movie or an interview, that your audio is presented in the best quality.

I definitely intended to write more about music on here than I have done. So here’s to better intentions this year, and to the best music of the last 12 months.
Here’s a spotify playlist, though I’d recommend clicking the video links too ‘cos some of them are rather good.
A late-album highlight on a disappointingly uneven new National record, ‘Dark Side Of The Gym’ is a gorgeous, woozy winner, reminiscent of older classics like ‘The Geese Of Beverley Road’ or ‘Lucky You’. A tremulous keyboard leads us in, and like most of the best National songs it sounds gently, dangerously inebriated, a fragile man making grandiose promises that he can’t keep. “I have dreams of anonymous castrati singing to us from the trees” is a wonderfully oblique Berninger-ian line, melting into “I have dreams of a first man and first lady singing to us from the sea,” which conjures a weird, timely and emotive image of a dignified, departing presidential couple (ahem) sailing off into the distance.
Having made her name with an album of sun-flecked country-rock in 2016, Julia Jacklin returned with a EP which demonstrates a clear maturation of her songwriting. ‘Eastwick’ is her best song yet, opening with a striking, sad, witty line about ways of coping with bereavement (“I don’t want my father’s ashes scattered over stranger’s couches”) and evolving from a slow folk jam into an incandescent fuzz-rock finale.
Not a Savage Garden cover, but just about as brazenly pop as that would have been, Fever Ray’s first song in 8 years was an alt-pop banger entirely unprecedented in the context of the project’s previous output (but much more akin to The Knife’s most radio-friendly moments). Both playful (“Hey, remember me? I’ve been busy working like crazy”) and unexpectedly profane (just… listen to it, you’ll see), it’s a terrific track, absurdly catchy and yet deceptively complex in its insistent, syncopated melody.
Michelle Zaumer’s second album as Japanese Breakfast was as eclectic as it was intense, encompassing driving motorik-rock, Grimes-tinged synth-pop, lush chamber pop and, on ‘The Body Is A Blade’, pristine Pacific Northwest indie-rock. Its nuanced existentialism is framed through a reflection of the life of her late mother, and the song’s arpeggiated riff builds to a bubbling climax of synth reminiscent of Grandaddy’s ‘The Crystal Lake’. Zauner is a wonderful songwriter, capable of being very funny (see ‘Boyish’ highlight “I can’t get you off my mind / I can’t get you off in general”) but also quite devastating (“Try your best to slowly withdraw,” she repeats here).
The four Perfume Genius albums have all been so tonally different, and ‘Wreath’ epitomises the atmosphere of No Shape perfectly – an ecstatic, almost transcendent sense of acceptance, sharp-edged with the knowledge of what it took to get there. It’s a four-minute symphony of catharsis, and yet the joy is tempered even here – “I want to hover with no shape” is, quite literally, about wanting to leave the stifling confines of one’s body. The excellent video, comprised of submitted footage of fans dancing to ‘Wreath’, neatly captures the essence of the song and of Mike Hadreas’ music: just be you, even when that seems like a hard thing to do.
Michigan emo band Swordfish released their debut album Rodia this year, and it’s a strong opening statement – they’ve got an instinctive feel for the aesthetics and dynamics of the genre, not just packing in the emotion but also understanding that emo can and totally should be fun. ‘Trenton Garage’ is the best example of the latter, with a sung-shouted caterwaul of a vocal, horns and a huge chorus packed into two delirious minutes; I’m not sure a line this year has made me inexplicably grin like the non-sequitur, “the last time that I saw you smile, I drove us to the SECRETARY OF STATE!”.
Picking up pretty much exactly where Sprained Ankle left off, ‘Appointments’ was the first taster of Julien Baker’s second album and it felt at once familiar and otherworldly. Glacial, heartbreaking and wracked with doubt and loathing, it’s stripped-back and simple and yet something that only Baker could write and deliver. The line which gives the song its title – “suggest that I talk to somebody again who knows how to help me get better / and till then I should just try not to miss any more appointments” – conveys so much, a gruelling battle to get from day to day.
Honing a sunny, tight, instantly recognisable sound that’s somewhere between 80s college rock, Flying Nun bands and turn-of-the-century Spoon, RBCF have already made a huge impression over the course of two EPs. ‘French Press’, the title track from their latest release, is perhaps their best song to date, with guitars that duel, sparkle, chime and interweave around the rhythm section’s taut groove. It’s strong lyrically, too, singer Fran Keaney using a poorly-connected international call to his brother to explore larger themes of interpersonal and geographical disconnection.
Katie Crutchfield’s Waxahatchee project continues to go from strength to strength. Her fourth album, Out In The Storm, streamlined her sound but is an out-and-out break-up record, and ‘Recite Remorse’ sits at the heart of the record both literally and thematically. Over big, spacious synths and a throbbing two-note bass line, she looks back at tainted memories and dissects what went wrong in painful detail. The second verse is so wonderfully, brutally honest about the two of them: “When we were new to each other in the city after dark / you were so condescending / you wrote me in, gave me a part / see, I always gravitate toward those who are unimpressed / I saw you as a conquest, I saw you as a big fish.”
Sydney’s Oslow are arguably the most promising emo band in Australia at the moment, and their first full length was a thing of rare beauty and intensity, influenced by (but not indebted to) both 90s bands like Braid and the fourth-wave likes of Title Fight and Turnover. They have nailed one of the best guitar sounds I’ve heard in a while – rich, thick and piercing – and ‘Everything, Etc.’ is a superb example of their craft, coming in like a flood but creating plenty of space for the guitar riffs and melodies to shine.
The World Is… have never been afraid to push hard at the boundaries of their scene and sound, and ‘Marine Tigers’, the first song to be released in advance of Always Foreign, made their ambition clear. Immense both in length and in the scope of its subject matter, it’s very much a reaction to the current climate of heightened xenophobia in their native United States. Singer David Bello was born to Puerto Rican and Lebanese parents, and the title ‘Marine Tigers’ comes from his father’s book about his experiences as a Puerto Rican immigrant in America. The song reflects on the experience of being “foreign”, but also rounds on prevalent ultra-capitalist, compassion-less values (“making money is a horrible and rotten institution”). Musically, it’s expansive and torrid, stalking in on a huge, forebording six-chord riff, taking in a quieter mid-section before burning out in a maelstrom of horns. Somehow, in the context of this song and of the wider world in 2017, the kindergarten-simple take home message (“There’s nothing wrong with kindness”) sounds profound and revelatory.
London producer and percussionist Georgia released ‘Feel It’ way back in the opening days of 2017, and if your New Year’s resolution was “have more fun” (and why wouldn’t it be?) then this was the song to soundtrack it. A certified banger, it sounds both like a lost radio smash from 2000 and bracingly futuristic. Georgia works otherworldly samples and harmonics over a twitchy beat, before layering thick, blaring synth chords over a fist-pumping chorus to blistering effect.
With his main band on hiatus, Modern Baseball co-frontman Jake Ewald spent most of 2017 on his intriguingly-named side-project. But far from being a distraction or an outlet for MoBo off-cuts, it’s proved to be a vehicle for some of Ewald’s strongest songwriting to date. It’s altogether more acoustic-driven and folk-tinged, though ‘104 Degrees’, from the excellent Motorcycle.jpg EP, is a propulsive exception. It describes a dream-like, fantastical relationship in fast-forward, not with broad brush-strokes but with tiny details that draw you deep into the lives of his characters: the girl “sitting on a bench in Baltimore and reading Murakami”, taking her coffee hot and black despite the heat, admitting to the fact that “counter-culture makes me tired”. The protagonist craves “dull domestication / free from pressure to pursue another love, another touch, another tired conversation” – which, fuck, is surely a perfect depiction of how empty and exhausting dating can feel. SBD’s output takes Ewald’s writing in exciting new directions; it’ll be a thrill to see where he goes next.
First appearing as a show-stealer on their split EP with Camp Cope, and then a few months later as track two on Cayetana’s second album, ‘Mesa’ is a surging pop-punk anthem – four simple chords, spiky vocals and buzzing chords. The lyrics may be on a downer about a relationship going badly (“We can only hurt ourselves for so long”) but Augusta Koch’s vocals are full of character and the song feels totally effervescent, a summer jam to blast out the windows on a drive to the coast.
It might not be the genre you’d most associated with protest music, but Muna use synth-pop as a powerful vehicle for a message of solidarity and empowerment that feels vital and necessary in the current climate, set against the backdrop of an increasingly divided world. It’s no surprise it’s struck a chord with a lot of people – a lot of the sentiments are familiar, they’re not afraid to use stock phrases, and yet juxtaposed to its shimmering synths and mighty beat they feel powerful, touching, and like the very different-sounding but similarly empathetic ‘Marine Tigers’, a little revelatory.
The sinuous synth-pop menace of ‘Los Ageless’ might be the latest entry in a bulky canon of songs about the artifice and darkness of L.A., but it’s also a terrific break-up song – “how can anybody have you and lose you, and not lose their mind too?” is a very good line that graduates to being absolutely perfect when Annie Clark howls it over the descending minor chords of the chorus. The lyrics conjure images of sadness, claustrophobia and death, but the aggressive throb of the backdrop makes it hard to do anything but flail like your life depends on it.
Melbourne’s finest had a lot to live up to after 2014’s Throw Me In The River – wall-to-wall emotional punk-pop bangers, one of my favourite records – but More Scared Of You Than You Are Of Me picked up the baton seamlessly. It’s every bit as anthemic and deals with a lot of the same themes (mental health, growing up, distance), but viewed through the prism of singer Wil Wagner’s turbulent relationship with Camp Cope singer Georgia Maq. ‘Birthdays’ comes early in the piece, a genuinely optimistic song about the start of something, and for all their angst the Smithies are really fucking good at optimism. “Spent the morning cleaning my room in the hope you’d ask to see it soon,” Wagner opens, charmingly relatable, and when he sings, “All I want occupying my mind, is ‘what’s the highest thing we can climb before sunrise?'” it’s pretty exhilarating. The positivity is fragile but persistent, even when he foreshadows the bad parts (“I’ll be intense and I’ll be too much”) or gets way ahead of himself (“I don’t mean to put the pressure on / but you’re gonna like my dad, I know you’ll love my mum”). It’s a feel-good song that feels all the better for all of the bad stuff that comes before and after.
Allison Crutchfield’s solo debut feels sonically a long way from the Pixies-meets-punk-pop squall of her former band Swearin’, but her innate sense for hooks and incisive, cutting lyrics remains firmly in place. The girl who once yelled the magnificent kiss-off, “I hope you like Kenosha so much you stay there”, has probably grown up a bit, but over an excellent pitch-shifting keyboard hook and sunny chords she’s still emotionally and geographically displaced. “I keep confusing love and nostalgia”, she admits, and ‘I Don’t Ever Wanna Leave California’ is, as much as anything, is about how places become inseparable from the memories that are entangled with them.
Sylvan Esso’s ‘What Now’ frequently hit heights that placed it among the finest electro-pop of the last few years; like Purity Ring’s ‘Fineshrine’ or Chvrches’ ‘Recover’, ‘Die Young’ manages to be an absolutely huge tune without ever leaving mid-tempo. It’s not as dramatic as the former or as emotive as the latter, but its strength comes from its playfulness – the verse ducks and hides around jittery bass and wispy synths, the chorus is hooky and garish, and there’s a terrific delayed-gratification fake-out at 2:15. The tongue-in-cheek lyrics about meeting someone who makes growing old seem semi-alright suit it perfectly: “I had a plan, you ruined it completely,” sings Amelia Meath, sounding somewhere between put-out and relieved.
At End Of The Road Festival in 2016, Kevin Drew made a speech in which he pretty much announced that Broken Social Scene were coming back to save the world from despair. It sounded just a little grandiose, but less than a year later the band almost lived up to it with the very appropriately-named Hug Of Thunder, a fierce, politico-personal and often beautiful album, easily their best since 2002’s You Forgot It In People. Feist takes the lead on the title track and centrepiece, a gorgeous, bluesy, bass-heavy jam which unfurls over five hazy minutes. Her stream-of-consciousness vocal, which seems like a string of disparate memories, reveals much more than it initially suggests; “certain times in our lives come to take up more space than others” is quietly profound, and while it’s often oblique and hard to decipher, the song as a whole feels optimistic and supportive at a difficult time. It ends with a fragmented memory of watching soldiers train at a military base, the imagery capturing both sturdy reassurance and implicit violence.
It doesn’t seem so long ago that emo and indie-rock were considered antitheses of each other – one earnest and high-strung, the other restrained and ironic, or so the stereotypes would have you believe. In truth it was never quite like that, but nonetheless the convergence of the two genres in the last few years has been unexpected and incredibly rewarding. Sinai Vessel’s Brokenlegged and its opening track ‘Looseleaf’ provide an excellent example of the obliteration of that divide – jangly, driving guitar rock, melodically exquisite, structurally dextrous without ever losing its intensity or momentum. It’s probably most similar to the Hotelier’s recent output – it certainly shares their musical DNA and dense, existential lyrical preoccupations – but you can trace it back to Wolf Parade, Modest Mouse and even R.E.M. too.
The most technicolour track on the most technicolour Mount Kimbie album, ‘Blue Train Lines’ is a remarkable piece of music – its synths splitting the difference between jarringly dissonant and sweetly melancholic, the flickering beat gathering momentum like an intercity train pulling out of the city into the fields, and a memorable, excoriating vocal turn from King Krule which endows the song with a wild-eyed intensity and instability. The lyrics aren’t really important here; it’s more the way he delivers them, an unholy mix of New Orleans jazz singer, south London troubador and untamed bluegrass howl. It’s an exciting creative pairing and makes for a relentless, runaway train of a track.
Throughout the stages of their evolution from the self-styled “tweecore” kids of their debut to the far more nuanced (albeit sex-football-and-death-fixated) band they are now, Los Campesinos! have never been afraid to put the pop in indie-pop. This has never been more apparent than on their latest, Sick Scenes, on which arguably the two best songs (‘Got Stendhal’s’ and the mid-tempo post-Brexit despair of ‘A Slow, Slow Death’) almost remove indie from the equation entirely. With its melancholy synths and plangent chords, ‘Got Stendhal’s’ feels like it could have fit neatly on the soundtrack to a turn-of-the-millennium romantic drama – not an insult, honestly. It’s a heady mix of nostalgia, romantic failures (“I assembled former ghosts at a seance”), fatalism (“At least when we’re encased in concrete we’ll be safe”) and mild body dysmorphia (“Trusted hearts pumps blood around a monolith that lets me down”) – classic Los Camp!, in other words.
Thank god for Charli XCX. You just know that if Katy Perry or her ilk had tried to write or perform this song it would have been irritatingly coy or brash and charmless; in Charli’s hands it’s confident but self-effacing, unapologetically libidinous but totally endearing. “I wanted to flip the male gaze on its head,” she said about ‘Boys’ and its hilarious, star-studded video, and she does so with charm and alacrity. Over a warm, playful, bleepy beat, she sings with giddy excitement and amusing exaggeration about the boys in her life, before apologising to her pals for ignoring their messages with one of the best lines of the year: “I wish I had a better excuse / like, ‘I had to trash a hotel lobby’ . but I was busy thinking ’bout boys”, she grins, gleefully riffing on her own reputation.
Life Without Sound was a natural progression for Cloud Nothings, expanding on both the melodic punk-pop and aggressive noise-rock of the last two albums. The slacker-rock anthem ‘Enter Entirely’ is one of their best songs to date and surely set to be a staple of their set for years to come. It’s an excellent example of how to do a lot with a little; the mid-tempo groove and four chords remain unchanged, allowing all the variation to come from changes in dynamics and vocal melodies. The sunny vibes make Dylan Baldi’s trademark nihilism sound less biting than usual; even lines like “I’ve had a lot of time alone, disintegrating / watching all of the hours with a bottle of wine” sound – well, not positive, but at least close to a sort of reconciliation. The slower pace of the song allow space for some exhiliarating guitar-work in the second half; like most Cloud Nothings songs, it turns negative emotions into something weirdly, profoundly uplifting.
The first Alvvays record was a little mini-masterpiece of fuzzed-up, blissed-out indie-pop, by turns rapturous and melancholy, with singer/lyricist Molly Rankin capturing the twists and turns of city living, millennial angst and tentative romance with consummate wit and empathy. ‘In Undertow’, the majestic opening track on Antisocialites, picks up exactly where the first album left off; paint-stripping guitars blast out a sweet, ecstatic, feedback-laden melody while Rankin recounts the awkward, painful fade-out of a relationship. “You find a wave and try to hold on for as long as you can,” she sings – maybe a good idea if you’re a surfer, less so for the couple in this song, who “toss and turn in undertow”. The characters in Alvvays songs might frequently be doomed but they always feel close to home; you get the feeling they might be your friends if you lived in Toronto.
Everyone was dying around Sorority Noise vocalist Cam Boucher (on ‘Disappeared’, he tells us he “lost a basketball team to heaven” in a year), and from this place of grief and pain came You’re Not as ____ As You Think, their third full-length, on which every song deals in some way with this overwhelming loss and his own struggle to keep going. Opener “No Halo” is an extraordinary moment of catharsis; the two-chord throbbing headache of the verse explodes into a savage, blistering assault of a chorus, which lasts just six bars but feels cataclysmic. There might be catharsis but there are no easy answers and no sense of closure; ‘No Halo’ is just a harrowing howl of survivor’s guilt, of the inescapable feeling of somehow not having done enough.
‘God In Chicago’ hit me at a weird time. I was four days away from moving away from a place I wasn’t at all sure I wanted to leave, crashing at a friend’s house, on the brink of considerable adventure but at the same time feeling dislocated and profoundly uncertain about, well, almost everything. And while the characters in ‘God In Chicago’ have a very specific and very different story (it’s an archetypal Craig Finn tale of two people connecting over bereavement, an unplanned road trip and a very low-key drug deal), there was something about listening to this tiny, possibly pivotal but possibly tangential moment in their lives depicted with such tenderness that ripped the floor out from under me. It’s easily the best song Finn’s written in almost a decade, and while it plays out over sombre piano rather than a bar-room racket, it reminds me of why I fell in love with The Hold Steady in the first place. And god, the chorus, when it finally comes, is heavenly. It’s essentially a short story, and I’ll avoid spoilers, but it ends in medias res and you realise what the characters are feeling – that heavy, winded feeling of something special having just happened, and having no clue as to what, if anything, happens next. I guess maybe that’s where I was when I heard this song, too.
Lorde’s always been prematurely nostalgic. On her debut album – released at the age of 16 – she painted sepia-tinted eulogies to suburban twilight drives, house parties and young love, at an age where most people would only barely be discovering those things. Of course, Lorde isn’t most people, and the success of that excellent record propelled her into an entirely different world. The fear was that Melodrama, its long-awaited successor, would have lost the intimacy and charm that made Lorde’s music so special.
Turns out, of course, we had nothing to fear. And Melodrama‘s closing track, ‘Perfect Places’, epitomises the growth in both her songwriting and her range of emotions, but retains everything great – the breathless, tumbling pre-chorus, the glistening production and hooks, her gift for singing both within the moment and removed from it – and yes, that nostalgia. On a song about “graceless nights”, searching for bigger and truer things under club lights on heady summer nights, she can’t help but analyse what her and the people around her are doing. At the heart of the song, there’s “all of our heroes fading / now I can’t stand to be alone / let’s go to perfect places”. The contrast between Pure Heroine‘s closer (“we’re dancing in a world alone”) is striking – there are moments when we’re in a good place, and moments when we’re striving painfully hard for something better. Both are worth being in the moment for. And ‘Perfect Places’ should probably be the last track of the night at every nightclub, for all time.
Captivatingly beautiful and impossibly melancholy, ‘Smoke Signals’ hones in on an elusive mood somewhere between sadness, nostalgia and hope that few songs and almost no words can locate. Phoebe Bridgers gets there via fragments of memory, stolen glimpses of moments between people that say so much more than traditional narrative could have done. The backdrop is sublime, with circling guitar lines and sensual, delicate production which incorporates tiny snatches of strings, voices and found sounds to great effect. The lyrics carry it home, though: “One of your eyes is always half-shut / something happened when you were a kid / I didn’t know you then and I’ll never understand why it feels like I did” might not sound like a lot, but the way it draws you into Bridgers’ memories and leaves you wanting more of the story is remarkable. The imagery is great, too: walking around the reservoir, pelicans circling, “‘How Soon Is Now’ in an ’80s sedan”. The first time I heard ‘Smoke Signals’ was on a cross-country train, looking out at the fast-fading autumn dusk, after a weekend with friends I don’t see enough (read: almost all of them, these days). Maybe that was the best time to come upon it, because this song is for those contemplative moments, and it will make you feel so very, very connected to people and places you care about. And that’s no small achievement.

The premise that there is a “world's greatest musician” is absurd. There are so many different kinds of music in the world, and so many brilliant and accomplished practitioners of music, most of whom are unknown to us, that it would be impossible to make a convincing case for the primacy of just one player. However, it is an interesting mental exercise. When I think about my favorite musicians, a lot of names come to mind, many of them my good friends, but a few stand out in terms of importance to me. One is Jordi Savall, the Spanish-Catalan viola da gamba player who introduced to modern ears the music of Marin Marais and others who played the abandoned instrument. Another is Randal Bays, Seattle-area Irish fiddler who, after discovering Irish traditional music rather late in life, was soon lending guitar accompaniment to great fiddlers like James Kelly and Martin Hayes, and who went on to become one of the best players of Irish fiddle in the world. Yet another is Martin Simpson, the English guitar wizard who introduced me to open tunings and his signature “guitar frailing” technique, with which any clawhammer banjo tune may be perfectly imitated on guitar. These musicians and many others are truly great, but finally, my mind comes to rest on Ross Daly.
Ross is an Irishman whose parents were diplomats. He grew up all over the world, and studied music from an early age. As a young man, he traveled to Greece. He found the traditional music he encountered there captivating, and not unlike the Indian music he had already studied, with its modal basis and uneven time signatures. Greek music gives us the seven “modes”, or scales, of Western music, but it actually contains more than seven modes. It contains notes between notes that Western musicians might consider “out of tune”, but which are actually very precisely played micro tones. Greek music also often involves odd meters, in which the beats are grouped into twos and threes, using time signatures such as seven-eight, which sounds like “ONE-two, ONE-two, ONE-two-three”.
Ross studied very diligently, and mastered many instruments, including the Cretan lyra, a pear-shaped lap-fiddle with three main strings and many sympathetic strings, which is extremely difficult to play. Instead of pushing the strings down against the fingerboard with the pads of the fingers, as on the violin, the fingers rest beside the strings so that the strings are stopped by the large, smooth surfaces of the fingernails. The result is an eerie, haunting sound with rich sustain and expressive vibrato, reminiscent of the human voice. Ross also plays many plucked-string instruments, including rubab, an Afghani banjo; lauto, a Greek lute; setar, a Persian lute; and various Turkish lutes, called saz. He has mastered many forms of music from Greece, Turkey, and Iran, and has transcended these forms, developing a fusion that mixes traditional instruments and themes.
Ross has also become a prolific composer. His tunes evoke a mythic past, shrouded in Aegean mist, while remaining fresh and urgent, embodying the longing, love, and tear-wet sorrow of human existence. His compositions, like their traditional models, are melodically and rhythmically dense and complicated. Once Ross and his collaborators have established the musical territory of these compositions, they launch headlong into the open space of improvisation, soaring to ever-new heights of imagination and freedom, gliding among iridescent, melodious birds before plunging down through unknown stratospheres to dive with shimmering rhythmic fishes, and deeper, to the very darkest sub-marine trenches of music.
Daly has trained and mentored an entire generation of younger musicians from the around the world. When he started playing traditional music it was not popular among the youth of its native countries, many of whom were seduced by the “cool”, modern pop music of the West. The music of their grandfathers was seen as staid, boring and conservative. Ross Daly, an outsider, nurtured a new appreciation for some of the greatest musical traditions in the world, and brought his interpretation of those traditions to enthusiastic audiences who had never heard music like this before.
Ross Daly is now considered to be a national treasure in Greece. The government of Crete has provided him with a historic villa, which serves as a museum, housing his collection of hundreds of instruments. It is also the home of the “Labyrinth Music Workshop,” where musicians flock from every continent to attend master classes with top players and singers in pan-Near-eastern styles. Some of his famous protégées are Stelios Petrakis, the great lyra and lauto player from Crete; Bijhan Chemarani, Paris-born Iranian zarb master; and Sokratis Sinopoulis, player of the politici-lyra, from Athens. Ross Daly's accomplishments as a player, a composer and an ambassador of music are unparalleled by any other living person I can think of, and that's why, for my money, he is the greatest musician in the world.

Sometime in the late 17th century, the Bohemian composer Heinrich Biber (1644-1704) composed a series of 15 sonatas for accompanied violin. Known variously as the “Mystery Sonatas” or the “Rosary Sonatas,” each of the 15 sonatas in the collection corresponds to one of the mysteries in the life of Jesus and Mary that focused meditative devotion.
Baroque violinist Fiona Hughes, a former member of our parish and our choir, has in the past played some of these sonatas as Preludes or Postludes during services at All Saints. With colleagues in the ensemble Three Notched Road, she has recorded several of the sonatas, including the first, which musically imagines the event of the Annunciation.
I phoned Fiona at her home in Staunton and asked her when she first became aware of this remarkable body of music.
Here is Fiona Hughes’s interpretation of Biber’s Rosary Sonata, no. 1, “The Annunciation.” She is accompanied by Kevin Payne on theorbo and Joseph Gascho on harpsichord and organ. This recording is from Three Notch’d Road’s CD, Epiphany, which is available for purchase here.
There are numerous recordings of the entire set of Biber’s Mystery Sonatas. Until you have the occasion to purchase a copy (and support musicians in their wonderful vocation), you may listen to the performances by violinist Igor Ruhadze and the Ensemble Violini Capricciosi.

Alan Wake was a triumph in videogaming. It had emotion, excellently written and performed dialogue, and also offered a new, twist on the horror genre. How does American Nightmare stack up?
As an Alan Wake fan, my expectations for this were quite high. The original had a compelling story that left me wanting more, and an uncompromising level of dread and tension that didn’t let up until the credits rolled.
So, is Alan Wake’s American Nightmare any good?
The answer is yes. If you liked the original.
AWAN is more of the same in terms of game play, with a few tweaks to the camera and a slight increase to the pacing of firefights with Taken. There are loads of guns to collect, which alter your play style significantly. You will want the enemy up close when you use a 12 gauge, but will want to whittle them down from a distance with the pistol. The new weapons allow for a more action oriented experience.
The light mechanic that worked so well in the previous game makes a return, so you will need to use light to destroy a Taken’s darkness shroud before you can dispatch it with whatever you have handy.
There isn’t as much tension in this entry to the series, but it’s obviously going for a different mood, with a grindhouse feel to the area and narrative as opposed to the claustrophobic environs of the first game.
The storyline is a little tricky to explain, but you should play Alan Wake before this if you want to make sense of it. Let’s just say it will have you confused at least once. I don’t want to spoil the game for anyone, so I’ll just say that this is more of a spin-off than a sequel.
A new feature outside of the story mode is arcade mode, which challenges you to stay alive for ten minutes against increasingly difficult enemies. Chain successful attacks and dodges together to earn multipliers to increase your rank on the leaderboard. This gets tricky as new enemy types come into play. Again, I don’t want to spoil anything here, so I won’t go into too much detail.
There’s a fair bit of replay value to be had if you like the game, too. Unlockable weapons, story snippets and flares all await the explorers amongst us. Add that on top of the lengthy 6-7 hour campaign, and you’ve got great value.
All in all, Alan Wake’s American Nightmare is an excellent game and easily worth the 1200 points. Get yourself a flashlight and get comfy. It’s going to be a long night.

“What a fantastic night you gave us! You really made the night and your music, song choices etc got everyone pumping. We’ve had lots and lots of comments about how great you all were. The kids are still talking about how you came around the pool and kept singing!!”
Alison February 2021
”Thanks for an amazing night! Talk of the family today was definitely how amazing you were and I know that often all people remember from a wedding is the food and music and I think we certainly nailed it with you guys!! You made the night and sorry you had to battle with the cold at the same time, you did amazing!! Can’t recommend you enough to others”
“Hi you incredible people!!!!
Holy shit – what a night it was on Friday…. you guys are absolutely incredible. When we booked the band for the wedding we deliberated over reviews, setlists, number of pieces etc etc, and it was Sam that chose you guys in the end. I fully agreed and we booked. 10months later, you not only lived up to expectation, but completely blew us out of the park!!!!! Seriously, i know you’d be good, but holy crap! We were (and everyone else) blown away!!!
Thank you again for being amazing and so accommodating!! Absolutely brilliant xxx”
Mel and Sam
“Thank you all so much for playing at our wedding in January. Our guests loved your performance and the song choices! You really made the evening an event to remember. We really appreciate you letting Tosh play in the band with you, it was a highlight of the evening.
Isabel and Tosh
“Thank you so much to Brightside for their awesome effort at our wedding the other weekend. You guys were amazing!!! Everyone has not stopped talking about how good you all were. Our guests were up dancing all night and having a great time. Was a fantastic song list as everyone got amongst it. Some very hoarse voices the next day!
I can’t recommend Brightside enough. You have been fantastic to deal with and all really professional.”
”Just wanted to send a message to thank you all so much for playing at our wedding on Friday. I had an amazing night and so did all our guests. You played at my sisters wedding and so I never considered any other band but was not disappointed. We had a lunch with our guests the following day, and everyone was raving about how much fun the night was with you guys playing. I’m looking forward to seeing you again for our friends wedding next January but might have to try to catch a gig before then. “
Hannah and Tom
“Thanks so much for the awesome atmosphere you created our dance floor got a pounding that’s for sure. We had such a good time- would definitely recommend you guys!”
Sarah and Damian
“Thanks so much you guys!!! We had an incredible time and the guests have raved about the awesome band… It was so good to see people of all ages on the D floor. You guys sure know how to channel the crowds mood. But in all seriousness, a gigantic thank you. We will definitely recommend you to anyone else looking for a fantastic band.”
Jane and Quentin
Where do I begin?! First of all thanks a million for completely taking care of the music from the ceremony right through to the reception. The entire band worked together to ensure that everything went smoothly. The range of music was a complete hit and the guests had nothing but positive feedback! The only downside was the time curfew because ourselves and the guests could have listened to Brightside all night long! Thanks again!!!!”
“Thanks so much you guys you rocked!! Also thanks for playing a lot longer than you were supposed to! Hope you had as much fun as we did. Everybody thought you were awesome! Cheers.’
“Firstly we wanted to say a huge thank you for playing at our wedding, you guys were truly amazing. We had so many comments on how good the music was and how great you guys sound! Even those who didn’t get up dancing were commenting on how much they enjoyed listening to the music so again thanks for creating such a great atmosphere.”
Amanda and Phill
“You guys are AMAZING! Best covers band I’ve ever seen & I knew from the first time I saw you perform that I HAD to have you at my Wedding! The fact that you learnt special songs for us was more than I expected and made the night even more special. I got comments all night from our guests about how great you were so I know I made the perfect choice. Thank you so much for giving us a night to remember,”
Amy & Tue

The actress Elena Petrova thrilled more than 200 guests, gathered in Studio 5 club for the official premiere of Jordanka Gospodinova's poetry book "South Blood". The premiere started with a fiery passionate paso doble.
In the evening of St. Archangel Michael's day the guests had the pleasure of hearing some of the poems of "South Blood", read by Elena Petrova under the music of Orlin Tsvetanov's violin and Bisser Ivanov's guitar. The two musicians, who are also part of Lili Ivanova's band, had prepared entirely original music specifically for Jordanka Gospodinova's lyrics.
Studio 5 was decorated with the original covers' artwork, specifically painted by Alexandrina Karadjova, inspired by Jordanka's poems.
"I wish every woman to be able to take a part of that passion and craziness, that Jordanka gives us with her book. And to all the men - to find a woman of "south blood" in their lives." said Nadezhda Zaharieva, the book's editor.
Jordanka Gospodinova was dressed in original dress, collaborative work between Alexandrina Karadjova and the fashion designer Mariyana Panayotova (El Mari).

Intrepid Theatre is a local theatre company, which produces the annual Victoria Fringe Festival and runs the Metro Theatre venue.
After volunteering in the 2004 festival box office, I volunteered my skills to design and develop a custom website based on the poster and brochure design each year from 2005 to 2014. I was also contracted to design and build the first website for their venue, the Metro Theatre, and later for the Intrepid Theatre organization itself.
Branding: Rayola Creative
“Thanks so much for making such a beautiful website for us! We really appreciate all your wonderful help at Fringe Fest time every year. Hope you caught some shows!”
with thanks from Janet, Sammie and the Intrepid Team, 2012

FirstMov - Watch American Hustle Online Free Megavideo Streaming Without Downloading| The acting was out of the park, the drama was real and heartfelt in a nuanced way, subtle yet pervasive throughout the film. I forgot I was watching a movie several times, the humor was not laugh out loud guffaw type humor, this humor was instead very human, but also very melancholy and often bittersweet, very much like life… I get this movie, it was like I was watching a movie reel of my own life that had some additional scenes and some different characters, but nevertheless, it was my life…I get this movie…I found it very entertaining, wasn’t bored once.
Watch American Hustle Online I love Amy Adams, she was gorgeous commanded the screen with her presence and beauty :) and Bradley Hot I don’t care was amazing as the cop that wanted fame :) all and all Lawrence was great as usual in their respected roles, I thought each had their screen time which was very pivotal part of the movie. yes there is a lot of dialogue you have to watch closely but it is a very well made skillful movie other actors such as Jeremy Renner worked great as well :) I like movies that deal with people and this movie did. two thumbs up for the director, the actors, I thought it was an amazing movie :) please see it if you like good movie watching, if you enjoy going dialogue, good sound track.
I think to truly appreciate this movie you have to had lived during the era it depicts and I think it does that very well. My wife and I are in our 50’s and found the movie quite realistic to that time They have made the scenes very authentic as well as the dress, mannerisms of the characters, and the music. It really took us back to our younger days. The ability to weave a little comedy in a movie such as this is what makes it so good. The ending was a true surprise and I never saw it coming. My wife loved it as well and we are even contemplating buying it on DVD when it comes out. A great film. Don’t pass this one by. You wont be disappointed!

Why go anywhere this summer when you have a pool in your backyard? Warmer days are here, which means it is the perfect time for a family pool party. Here are a few tips on the best pool accessories, decorations and snacks to liven up your summer.
The decor is the sprinkles on the cake of any pool party. They shape the atmosphere, so choose the pool accessories that fit your style! Here are a few fun suggestions:
Try hanging paper lanterns from trees, roof overhangs and gazebos or pergolas. Smaller lanterns can also be used for tables and string lanterns can be strung throughout the entire backyard.
Tiki torches give the ultimate tropical summer vibe. Install these around your seating area, at a safe distance, so no one gets burned. They will create a warm atmosphere — perfect for nighttime parties.
There is no pool party without inflatables! They are fun, relaxing and come in a variety of styles for both children and adults. Choose a chair lounger, flamingo or oversized doughnut. Have a few of each style on hand so your guests can choose their favourite type!
Balloons are a fun and easy way to amp up the decor! Hang some in your seating area or let them float in the pool.
Get creative with your table settings! Are you going for a beach theme? Decorate with mini palm trees, plants and seashell decorations.
If you are having a party after dark, bring out some candles or decorate the table with glow sticks!
Warm yourselves up after a nighttime swim with a fire pit. You and your family can sit around, play games and even roast marshmallows. It will make you feel like you are on a camping trip in the middle of your backyard.
The theme is the backbone of your party – it dictates decor, food, drinks, music and even costumes! Here are some ideas to get you started.
Two popular themes for kids are mermaids and pirates! One great way of incorporating these themes is through food. Instead of serving regular cookies, use frosting to create a mermaid’s tail or pirate’s hat. You can also buy napkins, balloons and inflatables that relate to your theme and let your kids choose the toys they want to display.
Tropical Beach Theme
Tiki torches, palm trees and coconuts — these all contribute to creating the best backyard tropical vacation. Serve some fun tropical dishes, like one of these 16 Hawaiian side dishes.
Under the Sea
Bring the ocean to your pool party! This theme is fun for both kids and adults. Serve some seafood, buy inflatables shaped like sea creatures and decorate your backyard with all things sea-related.
Some easy options for foods include any types of finger foods. You can keep a balance of healthy options and treats as well. Try serving a platter of fruit alongside sliders and shrimp tacos. Ice cream and popsicles are also great options for a hot summer’s day.
Turn your pool into an outdoor movie party with an inflatable movie screen. Float on your inflatables, put on your favourite film and munch on popcorn for the perfect family night.
One of the most fun games to play in the pool is volleyball. There are many volleyball nets you can choose from, take a look here and pick your favourite one. For more ideas, check out these 4 fun pool games you can try this summer.
Every party must have music! With a wireless floating pool speaker, you can listen to your favourite songs any time you are by the pool. Choose your favourite speaker and play your go-to summer playlist!
Essential pool party safety tips
Pool parties are more fun when you are staying safe. Here are some tips to follow:
- Always have at least one sober adult watching the kids
- Have a first-aid kit nearby
- Keep extra sunscreen on hand
- For support in the pool, use floatation devices labelled “Department of Transport Canada Approved” or “Canadian Coast Guard, Department of Fisheries and Oceans Approved.”
- If you are consuming alcohol, be sure to enjoy it away from and out of the pool and hot tub.
- Never swim while intoxicated
Even though you may be staying close to home this summer, you can still have the ultimate summer pool party. With the right themes, food and pool accessories, you are sure to have an enjoyable time. You can even customize the design of your pool even further to ensure you have your ideal atmosphere.

Katie Thurston, the new star of this season’s “Bachelorette,” is already winning viewers over as a fan favorite. The 30-year-old Washington native has made it known that she loves outdoorsy activities (and even took one of her dates fishing in this week’s episode), but that doesn’t mean she isn’t equally glamorous.
Following last week’s premiere, Thurston pulled out all the stops for her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel.” Here, makeup artist and hairstylist Nora Doench explains how she achieved Thurston’s rose-worthy waves for the occasion.
- To prep hair, use #TEXTURIZA Spray before using a curling iron. This creates a little extra hold and bounce to the style.
- Using a 1½-inch curling iron, alternate the direction of the curls to get more texture and volume. After finishing the waves, I apply TEXTURIZA Finishing Foam throughout the hair with my fingers to loosen the curls a bit and to create extra hold, then brush through. This gives the hair a nice bounce.
- To finish, use MAXCONTROL Spray to diminish flyaways, spraying onto fingers and then smoothing the front part of the hair for sleekness.

As the Sydney skyline readies itself to be adorned with the vibrant hues of Holi, the Indian community in Sydney, along with friends from various backgrounds, prepares to celebrate one of the most anticipated festivals on the multicultural calendar. Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colours, is not just a celebration within the Indian diaspora but a significant event that brings together people from all walks of life in Sydney, symbolizing unity in diversity. This year, the festival promises an even more spectacular celebration on Monday, 25th March 2024, marking the triumph of good over evil and the heralding of spring.
The Essence of Holi
At its core, Holi commemorates the victory of good over evil, inspired by the legend of Prince Prahlad and his triumph over the wicked Holika. It is a time when the community gathers to forget grievances and indulge in fun, symbolized by the smearing of colours on each other. But beyond the play and laughter, Holi is a testament to the strength of faith, the joy of spring, and the importance of community bonds.
Celebrations in Sydney
In Sydney, Holi is more than just a day of colour play; it’s a festival that spans over several days, featuring an array of events across the city that showcase the rich tapestry of Indian culture through food, music, dance, and, of course, the iconic colour play. Here are some highlights of where you can immerse yourself in the festivities:
- The Madison Function Centre, Dural (9th March): Kickstart the celebrations with a ticketed event that blends traditional Holi colours with mouth-watering Indian cuisine and non-stop music. It’s a day event, so mark your calendars!
- Sydney Holi Festival, Bradfield Park, Milsons Point (16th and 17th March): Set against the backdrop of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, this event brings a neon twist to the traditional colour play, along with multicultural performances and a range of food and drink stalls.
- Prince Alfred Park, Parramatta (17th March): Enjoy a free-entry day filled with colours, food, and cultural performances. A perfect setting for families looking for a fun and festive day out.
- Quakers Hill Festival of Colour (23rd March): Mihkelson Reserve in Quakers Hill transforms into a carnival of colour and culture, with food trucks, market stalls, and entertainment for all ages.
- Castle Hill Showground (24th March): A free-entry event that invites festival-goers to enjoy a day filled with colours, food, and lively entertainment.
- Blacktown Showground (24th March): This ticketed event promises a day packed with fun colour-throwing activities and a variety of food options to enjoy.
The Spirit of Holi
What sets Holi apart is its incredible power to bring communities together, transcending cultural and social barriers. In Sydney, the festival is a vibrant testament to the city’s multicultural spirit, allowing everyone to partake in the joyous celebrations. It’s a time when the streets of Sydney come alive with laughter, music, dance, and the air filled with colours, reminding us of the beauty in diversity and the strength of our shared humanity.
As we prepare to welcome Holi, let’s embrace the spirit of joy, renewal, and community. Whether you’re at Bradfield Park soaking in the neon lights or at Castle Hill enveloped in clouds of colour, the essence of Holi in Sydney is a vivid reminder of the joy that comes from coming together, celebrating each other’s cultures, and creating memories that last a lifetime. Happy Holi to all! May this festival of colours bring a palette of happiness, health, and prosperity into your lives.

Moonhauzen Animation Studio
Moonhauzen is a Ukrainian 3D animation studio that creates absorbing cartoon characters, commercials, and any 3D brand content you could ever imagine.
These guys are the biggest dreamers we’ve ever seen!
They want to create better worlds for brands and people with the help of absorbing 3D content, making our lives much less boring and much more fun.
Introductions are boring, let’s move to the most exciting part — a brand positioning we’ve created for this inspiring team!
We are here to unbore this world
We make big brands the biggest dreamers who inspire their audience to dream and change the world by creating content people watch as fascinating cartoons.
We’ve created a dynamic, playful logo that looks like a cartoon character with eyes and brows. Every logo block can look different, creating any mood we need.
Bright contrasting colors and contrasting fonts create an atmosphere of cartoon credits or movie posters.
We’ve added the signature visual elements to work with photos and videos, so any of Moonhauzen’s works can be easily recognized.
The studio has created many cartoon characters, so we use them for visual storytelling and create poster-like images.
Website. Exciting. Interactive. Inspiring.
We wanted to create a website that would fully absorb a visitor into some kind of Dreamland for brand managers. We needed to make everybody dream of getting the same fantastic animated content for their brand!
Here is a quick tour of the Dreamland we’ve created:
The main page with interactive animations and stories, engaging you to think of 3D as a wonderful alternative to casual video ads.
We’ve visualized the 3D video-making process to create expectations for those who’ve never worked with 3D.
Moonhauzen is people who work there, so we’ve created animated avatars for each team member and created an inspiring job page.
A template for cases makes any story an exciting journey through the content.
The website is still under construction, so let’s dream of the day when we’ll get a chance to experience all the magic we’ve created!

Headed to Las Vegas for the first time?
Can I please come with you? I’m a great guide! (And a decent craps player). No? Well ok then I will just put together a perfect Las Vegas itinerary for you!
But seriously – you’re in for an AMAZING trip. What I love about Las Vegas is that it can be anything that you want it to be. While most people head to Vegas to gamble and party like there’s no tomorrow, there’s also SO MUCH to do that is exactly the opposite. Incredible restaurants, terrific shopping, world-class shows and entertainment, and spas for days. So no matter what you’re up for – Las Vegas truly has something to offer for everyone.
I’m fortunate enough to live in Southern California, which is only a 4.5 hour drive from Vegas – so I’ve visited countless times over the years (even before I was 21…hi, Mom). This post is a roundup of all my favorite things in Vegas and the perfect Las Vegas itinerary for first time visitors! But first…
Before You Go to Las Vegas…
You’ll probably want to buy one of these! I won’t even ask for a cut of your winnings.
Where to stay for your first time in Las Vegas
- Both properties are well-located right in the center of the strip.
- Both have great on-site amenities including a spa, pool, restaurants, and shopping. So you can have an incredible trip and experience much of what Las Vegas has to offer without ever leaving your resort. You’ll thank me when you see how long the cab lines can get!
- Both hotels are relatively new, so the in-room technology is SUPER COOL (I won’t spoil the surprises). Vdara is also non-smoking, so if that’s important to you – Vdara is your spot.
Las Vegas Itinerary for First-Timers
There’s so many things to do in Vegas that just figuring out a game plan can be completely overwhelming. That is why I’ve pulled together all of my Vegas favorites into a 3-day Las Vegas itinerary for first timers.
Day 1: The Whistlestop Tour
Once you arrive, head out on foot to stroll the Strip. Bonus points if you decide to take a 3-foot-tall frozen drink with you. Check out some of the more interesting hotels on the Strip – either the New York New York, the Bellagio, or the pirate show at the Treasure Island.
View the Las Vegas Strip from Above
Grab pre-dinner drinks at the High Roller Ferris Wheel at the Linq for an amazing view of the Strip as the night lights come on. Having your own bartender will make for a pretty fun ferris wheel ride!
My Favorite Las Vegas Restaurant
For dinner, head to the nearby Paris hotel to hit up Mon Ami Gabi – my favorite restaurant in all of Las Vegas! If you can, try to sit outside so that you have a perfect view of the fountains at the Bellagio Hotel. After dinner, hit up a show (make sure you buy your tickets in advance) – I highly recommend Love, O, or Le Reve. Or there’s always Britney!
Day 2: Poolside Shenanigans, Shopping and Skydiving
Grab room service or a quick coffee breakfast so you have time to enjoy the entire day! Head out to the pool early to snag a pool chair and soak up the sun for a few hours. And I mean EARLY. Some of the pool chairs will get claimed with towels starting as early as 7am! As long as you’re out to claim a chair by around 10am – you should be fine.
Las Vegas Pool Options
When it comes to pools in Vegas, there’s two options: chill or party. Almost all resorts have a “chill” pool option – with plenty of lounge chairs, drinks on repeat, and a bit of a see-and-be-seen scene. If it’s in your budget, consider renting a poolside cabana where you’ll have a dedicated space for your group to gather, as well as plenty of shade. Cabanas are a great option for a bachelor/ette party – you can be as relaxed (or not!) as you want to.
If you’re looking for more of a poolside party scene, Las Vegas has some pretty incredible daytime pool parties that are more like clubs than they are pools – and they’re worth experiencing at least once – and more than that, if it’s your thing. If nothing else, the people-watching will be AMAZING. The best ones in my book are the Hard Rock Hotel’s Rehab (the original day club in Vegas and still going STRONG), Mandalay Bay’s Daylight or Tao Beach at the Venetian.
Day 2: Afternoon
For the afternoon, stroll through the shops in the Grand Canal and grab some gelato while you’re at it. The whole scene looks so much like Venice that you may feel like you can check that city off your bucket list! You can even take a gondola ride through the canal, complete with your very own singing gondolier (be on the lookout for marriage proposals!). If you’re still hungry post-gelato, a pizza at Otto’s is about as close as you can get to Italy without actually going there!
Zipline Through Las Vegas
If shopping isn’t your thing, spend the afternoon doing an activity that you can only do in Vegas. A few of my favorites are indoor skydiving or ziplining through Freemont Street. Head back to your hotel to put on your Saturday-night-finest, and then head out for the evening!
Secret Cocktail at the Chandelier Bar
Start your night with drinks at the Chandelier Bar at the Cosmopolitan, a 3-story bar where you’re literally having drinks INSIDE a chandelier. While you’re there, you HAVE to try the secret cocktail that you won’t find on the menu – The Verbana. Talk about tingly.
Day 3: Burn off A Buffet Breakfast
This morning is the perfect time to indulge in one of Vega’s famous buffets. The buffets are EVERYWHERE – but there’s only a few that are worth the price tag. My favorites are The Buffet at The Bellagio, The Buffet at the Wynn, and the Bacchanal Buffet at Ceasar’s Palace.
Hiking at Red Rock Canyon
If you’re game post-breakfast, I highly recommend checking out the natural beauty in and around Las Vegas – the scenery is just stunning, even though it tends to be overshadowed by the Strip. Try either a helicopter tour over the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, or if you’d rather burn off that buffet, the hiking trails at Red Rock Canyon are unbelievably beautiful.
There You Have it – A Perfect Itinerary for Las Vegas First-Timers!

One of the best things about being a game designer is seeing the kids I test with get inspired to make their own games. Designing a game uses so many parts of your brain and can keep kids’ math, reading, writing, creative, and critical thinking skills sharp throughout the summer. Plus, it’s a ton of fun and can be a project that the whole family can enjoy. You could spread the steps out over the whole summer, dipping in and out as you’d like, or just follow them in one day or afternoon.
Step 1: Get Inspired
Pop some popcorn and play a few of your favorite games or borrow some new ones from your friends and neighbors. Try to play a variety of types of games and talk about the answers to these questions after you play:
*What kind of game is this?
*What makes this game fun?
*What is the theme of the game? Note that some games are “abstract” and do not have a theme.
*What are the components or pieces of the game?
*What role does luck have in the game?
*What kind of choices do players make in the game?
*How would you change this game to make it better?
Step 2: Decide on a Theme
There are a lot of ways to start making a board game, but, I think that starting with a theme is one of the easiest (especially for kids). The theme of your game is the story of your game. What is your game about? Work together to brainstorm a big list of themes that might make a fun board game. Keep it on your fridge so that you can capture ideas as your family has them. You can draw inspiration from the things you’re doing this summer, like a trip to the beach or a family reunion, or think of something outrageous and wacky like teddy bear ninjas searching for treasure. Sometimes it’s fun to create a game around a book your family is reading or something you know very well. My daughter’s latest game idea is called “The Very Messy Room,” which is about, you guessed it, her very messy bedroom. At the end of the week, pick your favorite theme.
Step 3: Decide on a Mechanic
What type of game are you going to make? Is it a card game, a roll-and-move game, an up-and-active game where you run around the room? What type of actions does the theme suggest? Would it make sense to move along a path? Or trade cards? In “The Very Messy Room,” for instance, I hope players will be picking things up. Are those cards on the table? Or items on a board? If the game is cooperative, you’ll need to decide on an antagonist or the person or thing you’re working against. You can use this list of mechanics to help you decide what type of game would best fit your theme.
Step 4: Talk About Your Concept
Now it’s time to work out the details of your game! The best games combine both strategy (meaningful decisions made by players to affect the outcome of the game) and luck, but you can certainly have a totally luck-based game. Decide on the answer to these questions and use a pencil and paper to sketch out the board, the cards, or other components in the game.
*What do you do on a turn? Are there different parts to a turn or is it just one action?
*What decisions will players have to make and when and how will they interact with each other?
*What are the components or pieces in the game?
*How does the game end and how do you win?
Step 5: Make a Prototype
Your first prototype of your game should be fast and easy. Use markers, paper, and existing pieces from other games. I’ll often go to the thrift store and buy games just to use the pieces or the board, which I cover in blank paper to make a new game. The prototype should be playable but not fancy since there will be plenty of things you’ll want to change after you play your game the first time. You don’t need to use thematic artwork, and you can ask your first testers to use their imaginations. For now, players can imagine that the movers from Sorry are teddy bears and that the beads from a broken necklace are jewels that the bears are collecting. Be sure to jot down a quick set of rules.
Step 6: Play Together!
Take the game for a test drive. Play as a family or with neighbors and friends. Don’t worry if the game doesn’t work like you thought it would -- early prototypes rarely, if ever, do! That’s what playtesting is for. Make notes when you play about what is good and what can be improved. Ask other players what they think.
Step 7: What’s Next?
Now it’s time to think and talk about what you’ve learned and make a plan. What was broken about the game? How would you fix it? How could you make it more fun? Does the game need to be shorter? Do the players not land on the spaces they need? Is there anything that’s confusing about the game? How could you make changes to improve the game? Once you feel good about your game, you can make a fancier version and spend more time on the board and pieces. You can make custom pieces from Sculpey or movers out of wooden pegs and paint. You can make sturdy, uniform card backs by printing them on full-sheet label paper and adhering them to the card fronts (printed on card stock). You can “laminate” your board with clear Contact paper.
Most of all, have fun and let your imaginations run wild. And if you create something you want to share, send me a picture at [email protected]!

Christmas Musical: “The Journey of Christmas”
Two Musical Performances in the Worship Center include:
- Saturday, December 15
- Sunday, December 16
Invite your friends and wear your fun festive Christmas sweaters to this “The Journey of Christmas” musical performance and afterwards stay for our Christmas Sampler! Bring a favorite treat to share! We are going to have a blast as we celebrate Jesus, the true gift of Christmas!
From the first song to the last song, both choirs and congregations will be taken on a journey through the arrival of the King of Kings, the Almighty, The Great I Am. The Journey of Christmas features sing-able arrangements of both time-honored and newly-created songs for the Christmas season.
A way station is a stopping point on a journey, or a temporary stage in a longer process. Mitchell Schuster is the somewhat reluctant inheritor of a small family gas station that is, as he says, at the intersection of nowhere and oblivion.
Although his suitcase is perpetually packed, he never seems to be able to escape from his struggling business to take a long-planned-always-postponed Christmas trip, much less start the life he is sure God had promised him. But as the years pass, Mitchell finds himself providing brief, but necessary, respite for various strangers on their own Christmas journeys: some need to get directions, some need to turn around and take a different route, others simply need a short rest. Spanning six decades, Mitchell learns that sometimes the greatest journey you can take is in helping others find the right road. In the process, you may arrive at a destination far different than the one originally sought: returning to the foot of a manger . . . and the heart of God.
Childcare will be available for birth through pre-kindergarten in the Children's Department.

The Sundance Channel released the lineup for the third season of The GREEN, which will include the small-screen debut of the award-winning documentary Addicted to Plastic that investigates everything plastic.
Addicted to Plastic was directed by Canadian filmmaker Ian Connacher. Photo: Cbc.ca
Addicted to Plastic has been making the rounds at film festivals since its 2008 release and racked up awards in Amsterdam, Mexico City, Paris and Vancouver, among others. It was filmed over three years in 12 different countries, including two trips to the middle of the Pacific Ocean where plastic debris accumulates. The film details plastic’s history over the last 100 years and provides expert interviews “on practical and cutting edge solutions to recycling, toxicity and biodegradability. These solutions – which include plastic made from plants – will provide viewers with a new perspective about our future with plastic,” according the the film’s site.
The film will air on April 28 at 10 p.m. Eastern and Pacific time. Also airing during season three of The GREEN:
- Carbon Cops—a reality series where families conduct an energy audit and commit to reducing their environmental footprint by 50 percent
- Eco Trip: The Real Cost of Living—a life cycle analysis of different consumer products and their eco-impact from production to disposal, which will cover everything from cell phones to light bulbs to paper napkins in season three
- e² design—a six-episode series narrated by Brad Pitt that explores the field and key players of sustainable architecture
The new season of The GREEN debuts on April 21 to coincide with Earth Day.

The year is 1927, and Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes are feverish with youth, gin, and artistic ambition. They are riding high on the achievements of the Harlem Renaissance—the most dynamic and shocking literary movement in American history. To make their mark on the world, they decide to write an authentic African-American opera rooted in the folktales and songs of the South.
Despite these lofty ambitions, the messiness of everyday life and the pressures of patronage get in the way. The blues opera Hughes and Hurston work so hard on never materializes. At first it’s simply reduced to a play. Then its very ownership is brought into dispute. Eventually Hughes and Hurston’s friendship comes to a final and irreparable end.
Through all their arguments, love affairs, discussions and diversions, the characters work to create a new Modernism that is both accessible and relevant to contemporary Black life, and to the generations of readers and writers, artists and poets, both black and white, to follow.
Harlem Mosaics is based entirely on true events. In lyrical prose that evokes the heady 1920’s, it tells a story that reads as a cautionary tale, a love story, and a social novel, reintroducing us to these brilliant and important artists. The novel includes an introduction by Marc Primus, of the Afro-American Folkloric Troupe, who knew and produced the works of both Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.

The Controversy Surrounding the Term “OP”
While many use “OP” as a casual remark, the term also sparks debates among developers and gamers. Developers have to consider whether an “OP” element truly disrupts game balance or if it’s part of a strategy.
Sometimes, what is initially considered “OP” becomes less so as players find counters or as the game evolves.
“OP Mean in Gaming Culture: Memes, Lingo, and More
The term has also found its way into gaming culture, contributing to memes, discussions, and even merchandise.
Emotes like “OP Plz Nerf” have become a staple in many gaming communities, reinforcing the term’s influence and relevance.

Unlike any other orchestral interpretations of ‘classic rock’ tracks that tend to rely on rock rhythm sections, electric guitars and keyboards, these are purely orchestral re-imaginations that focus on the symphony ensemble to create new versions of instrumental hits for the first time.
The first release is Julian Kershaw’s orchestration of Carlos Santana’s ‘Samba Pa Ti’ released on all digital platforms on 12 June 2020 featuring soloists Caroline Dale (cello) and Jamie Talbot (clarinet).
‘Samba Pa’Ti’ was originally released on the Santana album ‘Abraxas’ in 1970. Although one of that album’s most popular air-played tracks, it was not released as a single until 1973, when it reached #27 in the UK Charts. The album was a #1 in the USA and Australia and reached #7 in the UK and France in 1970. It went on to sell six million copies worldwide, including five million in the US.

Jim Conway has assembled an astonishing array of talent to galvanise the ranks of his new dream band. “Big Wheel” boasts an absolute all-star line up of musicians who share Jim’s passion for Blues, Jump and Swing. Big Wheel features the talents of Jim Conway, Don Hopkins, Jess Green, Stan Valacos, Andy Byrnes and R. P. White. Each member of ‘Big Wheel’ is uniquely talented and stylistically distinctive and while they each draw from a wide source of influences, collectively they exhibit an instantaneous and uncanny empathy.
This fusion of diverse inspiration is evident in the Big Wheel’s mostly original repertoire that draws on 30’s swing and boogie, 40’s and 50’s rhythm and blues, Caribbean, Latin and New Orleans stylistic elements. It’s little wonder that their inaugural CD, Little Story received an ARIA nomination for Best Blues Album in 2004. From its humble beginnings in Jim Conway’s lounge room, Big Wheel had the magic, a distinctive sound that jelled from the start.
Over the past five years the band has performed at many festivals including Port Fairy Folk Festival, Bellingen Jazz Festival, Wangaratta Jazz Festival, Brunswick Music Festival, Illawarra Jazz Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Narooma Blues & Roots Festival, Kiama Jazz Festival and Balmain Acoustica. Over the last year, one of the bands major projects was to record their long awaited second CD, Share This Life.
Jim Conway: Harmonica, backing vocals
Jess Green : Guitar, Vocals
Don Hopkins: Keyboards, Vocals
Andrew Byrnes: Drums & Percussion

Artists covered include Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Professor Longhair, Jerry Lee Lewis, Doctor John, Leadbelly, Huey Piano Smith... with many well known songs given the Don Hopkins treatment.
Jess Green: (guitar, vocals) Winner of the 2006 Jann Rutherford Memorial Award (to assist in the professional development of an outstanding young female jazz musician) Jess Green’s career is set to climb. A first class honours graduate of the Canberra School of Music, ANU, majoring in guitar, she has composed original scores for theatre and studied and performed in Europe. Jess has performed her original compositions with her own bands (including the Jess Green Trio) at many established Australian Jazz venues and festivals, including Melbourne Women’s International Jazz Festival, Devonport Jazz Festival and Palmer St Jazz Festival (QLD) as well as playing at Blues/Funk/Rock venues and festivals with Big Wheel and other bands.
R.P. White: (Sax and Vocals). Born in Missouri USA, R.P came to Australia in the early 70’s. Originally a bass Trombonist, he also mastered trumpet, sax Guitar, bass and most other ‘pop’ instruments. Versatility is a key word describing this musician’s full-on career. In his own words; “I have been in everything from the Las Vegas Symphony to the Six-pac Bottle-blow Jug Band, a career that’s taken me from relative obscurity to complete oblivion.” R.P. rates his involvement with Big Wheel as ‘a pure delight.’

Wow it didn’t take me long to read this one! The Host by Stephenie Meyer.
This book was amazing. I love it.
It takes place in the not to distant future, not real date really so it means that it could be read in any age. The idea is that the world has been taking over by aliens. Ones that act as parasites and are inserted into the brain and take over the human. They call themselves souls and are very peaceful and not violent. The reason that they chose earth to take over because we kill each other.
The main character is Wanderer or Melanie, which ever you prefer really. They are trapped in the same body. Wanderer is the alien and Melanie is the human she was implanted in. They have some difficulties living together and because it in not normal they decide to go find Melanie's Family. Once they find them they have to win them over and gain their trust. This story is a huge love story and the Author does a very good job at making you feel for the Character.
The other characters are Jared Melanie's love interest Ian, Wanda’s love interest and Jamie. Among others. The main setting is a series of caves and you really can imagine everything with the descriptions.
I really felt this book was well written and if you liked the Twilight books you will love this one. It is full of action and love. I even got teary at the end of the book!
Well that was everything. I finished my book today, did my pedicure and manicure and am relaxing watching ER!

Selena Gomez Spices Up the Holidays with Two Cooking Shows on Food Network
Selena Gomez is not done cooking yet. After four seasons of her successful cooking show “Selena + Chef” on HBO Max, the Mexican-American celebrity will continue expanding her culinary talents.
This time, she will host two new cooking-related shows on the Food Network. Though we don’t have specific details, we know the gist of both new gigs.
Selena Gomez’s upcoming cooking shows will be a celebration
According to Variety, one of the shows will be a “celebration-focused series” and will air during the holiday season. Though the network hasn’t confirmed further details, we hope to see Selena Gomez celebrating her Latin culture. Imagine seeing her cook Latine holiday specialties like tamales or pozole. Maybe some holiday-inspired treats like churros or coquito?
“The holidays are always huge for Food Network, reaching nearly 60M P2+ viewers, and having Selena kicking off the nearly 100 hours of new and returning holiday programming will certainly make this coming season one to celebrate,” Kathleen Finch, Warner Bros. Discovery’s chairman and chief content officer US Networks reportedly said.
The second series is set to switch things up
Instead of Gomez inviting chefs to her kitchen (like in “Selena + Chef”), she will go to chef’s kitchens to celebrate cooking. The same source says that Gomez will be “meeting up with some of the best chefs in the country in a quest to cook their most popular dishes when she visits their kitchens.” This show is set to premiere in 2024.
During “Selena + Chef”’s four seasons, we saw Selena Gomez navigate her kitchen as a rookie. After three years, seeing her talent expand and continue within the culinary world is an inspiration.
Moreover, who can we expect to join her in her new chef quest series? We’ve already seen her cook with José Andrés, Aarón Sánchez, and Paola Velez. We are excited to see if any further Hispanic chefs will be featured alongside her.

By Stuart Rosebrook
Fifty years ago, the city of Prescott welcomed a Hollywood film crew and helped make a Western classic.
Over Labor Day weekend in September 1970, screenwriter Jeb Rosebrook received a call from his agent Mike Wise. “Robert Redford wants a rodeo story. Do you have one?” Wise asked. Little did the agent know that his North Hollywood-based writer had just written a first draft of “Bonner,” a short story about an aging rodeo star whose career, family and hometown are all on the line. Wise also didn’t know “Bonner” was a highly personal tale about my father’s adopted hometown. Rosebrook had found his inspiration for “Bonner” after a short visit back to Prescott on July 4th for the 1970 World’s Oldest Rodeo. Little did anyone know the short story would change the fate of so many, so quickly—especially our family.
My father, who first came to Prescott as a nine-year-old boarding student to attend fourth grade at the Orme School in 1945, had not been to Prescott since 1955, and the changes he witnessed while driving into the historic Yavapai County seat from Cordes Junction through Mayer, Humboldt, Dewey and Prescott Valley made a strong impression on him, especially the development of the wide-open spaces of the Fain Ranch.
The “Bonner” story and the Junior Bonner screenplay that developed under the tutelage of producer Joe Wizan reflected my father’s love of Prescott and Yavapai County, its history, culture and people. A novelist before turning to screenwriting, he imbued his screenplay with real locations.
When presented with the script in late 1970 and early 1971, both Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah signed on quickly to star and direct the film for Joe Wizan. There were many personal reasons they wanted to leave the confining nature of film production in Hollywood in the summer of 1971, but most importantly, they wanted to make the film on location in Arizona in the real-time of Prescott’s Frontier Days Parade and the World’s Oldest Rodeo.
The film is a deeply personal homage to family, historic Prescott and the small towns and ranchlands of Yavapai County. One reason the film was successful—and remains a snapshot in time and history—was its location manager, William Pierce, the local Arizona Film Commission representative, president of the Fair Association and the Prescott Jaycees rodeo chairman. The local businessman was well connected, friend to all and not intimidated by Peckinpah or in awe of McQueen. Pierce actually drove the leading man around on his motorcycle to get to locations during the parade sequence. Pierce’s local connections also helped secure a local track for McQueen and his son to race their dirt bikes.
Pierce was successful in landing the production of Junior Bonner for Prescott and Yavapai County because he recognized the locales my dad wrote about in the script and was able to open doors to secure all the film’s locations. Pierce’s contribution to making the film a reality was so appreciated by the production company, the film ends with a heartfelt message of special thanks to the people of Prescott and Pierce. This heartfelt thanks we should continue to express, for without Bill Pierce and the generosity of spirit of the people of Prescott and Yavapai County, we would not be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 1971 production and its subsequent release in 1972.
Ironically, Robert Redford didn’t make a rodeo movie until The Electric Horseman in 1979, but in 1972 three other rodeo movies were released: Honkers, J.W. Coop and When the Legends Die. Junior Bonner was not the only rodeo picture of 1972, but it can be argued it is the greatest rodeo movie ever made in Arizona, about Arizona and Arizonans.
Stuart Rosebrook is the editor of True West magazine. A Prescott resident, he assisted his late father in publishing his memoir Junior Bonner: The Making of a Classic in the Summer of 1971 with Steve McQueen and Sam Peckinpah.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why buy anything if the comic is for free on the site?
Well, aside from supporting Great y Comics and allowing us to expand in the future, the site only contains the pages of the comic, whereas physical books can be purchased from Amazon, and all sorts of goodies from posters to short stories are available on out patreon page. Also, completed chapters of the comic will be uploaded to Patreon before they are fully available on the site. We do this so everyone can enjoy our work, but those who pay get more access and lore for the Comic series.
you upload/ update?
From November 2021, we aim to update the SnakeByte comic series every Monday – and in 2022, the Yo-Ri-Oh comic series (formerly the Avaricious short stories) will be uploaded every Friday.
What projects are being worked on?
Currently, only the SnakeByte Comic series, and recently the Yo-Ri-Oh series are being worked on. As for Shallow Yarr, currently there are no plans to continue the project.
Where is Avaricious?
Avaricious was our short story series that took place in the modern SnakeByte universe. However, due to general disinterest, it has been redesigned to be a comic series, which will be uploaded to the site in 2022. It makes sense, after all we’re a comic book company that is seriously lacking in actual comic series under our belt, so I thought this would be a good move.
We used to have both a Facebook and an Instagram page, but these were deleted in October 2021 (just before the November update) as I don’t agree with the practises of the sites. To be honest I don’t like the whole scene associated with them generally, never mind all the “behind the scenes” stuff. It’s a whole different culture that simply doesn’t appeal to me anymore. I used to use them for business, but I’m sticking to just twitter as (even though it could be arguable as bad as the others) it is a good tool for reaching broader audiences.
Who is (blank)? What happened to (blank)/ Why is (blank)?
The comic focuses solely on Vipersnake and Kyrsten’s respective adventures, though if you want the broader picture, or just want to see more of the other “background characters” and other side stories, there is only one place. Novels. Everything you could ever hope to have explained, is all in the accompanying novels for each of the SnakeByte Comic chapters. You can buy the paper editions from Amazon, or get chapter specific short stories on our Patreon.
How do I properly pronounce these names?
Chances are, you can already, but if you want to be exactly sure - in all Graphic Novels will be a bonus "Pronunciation guide".
What is the tier system?
In SnakeByte, the fighters are ranked by a 5 tier system: with 5 being the lower ranks, and 1 being the best of the best. In each of the tiers fighters are ranked "E" to "A" - with A being highest. So a fighter in tier 4 with a rank of "C" would be a better class of fighter than a tier 5 with a rank of "A". This ranking system is just to provide an idea of how powerful/dangerous a certain warrior is compared to each other.
Why does X look different now?
From Chapter 11 onwards, a load of different SnakeByte characters have some redesigns based on the fact that I got better at drawing. There’s no in-comic reason for this, if we all could just pretend they always looked this way, that’d be great.
A couple of mistakes that are unfortunately now forever encased in stone, as they are part of the printed version of Book 1 (both the comic and novel).
- The printed Graphic Novel can have the edges of content cut off. This is because I had it all set up for A4 and Graphic Novels are printed in American Letter, so any mistakes are due to the cutoff size. That being said, every page is now set to American letter.
- Page 10. I cannot believe that slipped through the cracks. Unforgivable colouring mistake, but fixed for the site and collection.
- A Cape with sleeves is a Jacket. I’m aware of this, it’s just I was trying to explain that Kyrsten’s cape isn’t a jacket she could just take off – its attached to the back of her dress.
- 969? The SnakeByte Story set in the past picks up in the year 967 not 969. Just an typo in Book 1.
