Do you enjoy watching re-runs of your favorite shows or movies while you work or browse the web? If you try to play the video on one tab and work on another, then you can only hear the audio but not the video. It is possible to stream your favorite OTT video in a floating window using extensions. Here are different methods to pop out video from YouTube, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hotstar, and Twitch in Chrome, Firefox, and Opera browsers so you can enjoy your content and work simultaneously.
What is a Pop-Out or Floating Video?
Pop-out video is a great way to enjoy your content as you work. It plays the video in a small window that you can drag and place anywhere around your screen and resize to make the content of the video more visible. This way, you can switch tabs, minimize them and work on some other application on your PC, and the video will continue playing as long as the browser tab is still running.
It is also referred to as Picture-in-picture mode (PiP) or floating video. This feature has already made its way to smartphones but still missing on desktops. Youtube does have a mini-player that minimizes the video to a small window, but it is only limited to the Youtube page. We will show you how to easily add the pop-out video feature to your preferred web browser.
Get Pop-Out Video on Chrome, Edge, and Brave Browser
Chrome, Edge, and Brave browsers are all based on Chromium, so the methods we are about to mention will work for all three of them and any other Chromium-based browser. We have tested these methods on platforms like YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ Hotstar, and Twitch. So here are different ways to get a floating window.
1. Picture-in-Picture Extension (by Google)
This extension comes straight from Google itself. It is free to download and use just like the others on this list and works flawlessly with all the streaming platforms we tested. If you want a simple one-click way to get a pop-out video on your browser, then this is the extension to go with. Here is how you use it.
Step 1: Download the Picture-in-Picture Extension (by Google) extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Step 2: Click on the extension icon at the top right corner of the address bar.
Step 3: Now click on the pin icon next to the Picture-in-Picture extension to pin it to the toolbar.
Step 4: Go to any of your preferred streaming sites and play a video.
Step 5: Click on the Picture-in-Picture extension on your toolbar, and the video will start playing on a floating window.
You can drag it anywhere, change its size and switch to other tabs while the video keeps playing.
2. Floating Player Extension
Another extension that you can use to get pop-out videos on your web browser is the Floating player. You will enjoy this one if you watch a lot of YouTube videos as it provides several tweaks and adjustments specific to YouTube, like showing chat, player controls, and a lot more.
It is a great way to enhance your YouTube experience as you focus on other things on your browser. It works well with all other platforms we tested o except for Prime Video. Let’s take a look at how to set it up:
Step 1: Download the Floating Player extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Step 2: Once downloaded, click on the extension icon at the top right corner of your browser’s address bar.
Step 3: Then click on the pin icon next to the Floating Player extension to pin the extension to the toolbar.
Step 4: Right-click on the extension icon and go to Options to access Floating Player settings.
Here, you can change the floating player’s settings, size, width, and other settings specific to YouTube.
Step 5: Now, just head over to YouTube or any other streaming platform and play a video.
The Floating Player extension does not work with Prime Video.
Step 5: Click on the Floating Player extension on your toolbar to open the video in pop-video mode.
You can drag the floating player anywhere on the screen and switch to other tabs while the video keeps playing.
3. Picture-in-Picture with Playback Controls Extension
Watching videos in pop-out video mode does take away player controls from you. With Picture-in-Picture with playback controls extension, you can stick a small playback control button on your screen to play, pause, rewind and move forward the video. It also provides keyboard shortcuts to do the same.
The controls work with all the OTT platforms and streaming services. This is how you can add this extension:
Step 1: Download the Picture-in-Picture with Playback Controls extension from the Chrome Web Store.
Step 2: After downloading, pin the extension to your toolbar by first clicking on the extension icon at the top right corner of the address bar.
Step 3: Then click on the pin icon next to the Picture-in-Picture with Playback Controls Extension to pin the extension.
Step 4: You can right-click on the extension icon and go to Options to access extension settings.
This is where you can change the position of the playback button on your screen and change the shortcut controls.
Step 5: Now, just head over to any streaming platform, say Prime Video, and play a video.
Step 5: Click on the extension from the toolbar to open the video in pop-video mode.
Just like others, you can drag the pop-out video anywhere on the screen and access playback controls by clicking on the playback button to expand it.

Get Floating Video for Prime, Netflix, Twitch on Firefox
If Firefox is your go-to browser, you won’t miss out on anything. You can still enjoy the pop-out video feature, and there are a couple of ways to do it. Just like Chrome, we have tested on several streaming services and OTT platforms. So without any further delay, let us look at how you can get pop-out videos on your Firefox browser.
1. Enable Built-in Picture-in-Picture Mode
Firefox added a pop-out video feature in their browser a while back. You do not need to install any add-ons to access it. And it is enabled by default, so you can start using it right away, or you might be already familiar with it. In any case, let’s still see how you can use it:
Step 1: Go to YouTube or any other streaming service and Play a video.
Step 2: Hover your cursor over to the lower-left corner of the video, and you will see a small button pop up. This is the picture-in-picture button.
Step 3: Click the picture-in-picture button, and the current video will appear in a pop-out video.
If you have trouble finding it, switch the video to full-screen mode and try again.
If it still does not appear, it might have been disabled for some reason. You need to enable it again by going to the settings. This is how you can do it:
Step 4: Click on the three horizontal lines in the far right corner of your browser.
Step 5: Now select Settings.
Step 6: Once in settings, scroll down to Digital Rights Management (DRM) Content and make sure the option under it is ticked.
Step 7: Scroll down again to Browsing and click on Enable picture-in-picture video controls to enable pop-out video mode.
Now try going back and playing any video, and the button should be visible.
2. Add Windowed – floating Youtube/every website Extension
Other than the native picture-in-picture mode, you can also use a useful add-on to watch videos in a pop-out video mode. This add-on is called Windowed, which enables a floating video on YouTube and every other video streaming website, but it works slightly different from the extensions on Chrome. It will switch the entire tab into a pop-out video. Let’s explore how it works:
Step 1: Download the Windowed – floating Youtube/every website extension from the Firefox Add-on store.
Step 2: Go to YouTube or any other streaming service and click the More tools or two arrows on the top right corner.
Step 3: Click on the option Windowed is enabled.
Step 4: Choose the Windowed option.
Step 5: Now go back and play a video. Then click on the Fullscreen button, and the video will appear in a pop-out window.
But you will need to resize the window as the pop-out video will appear in large view. It works on all platforms, and since it detaches the tab and turns it into a pop-out window, you get access to all player controls and tools.
Get Pop-Out Video for YouTube, Netflix, and Prime in Opera
Opera is a feature-rich browser with tons of amazing additions like a sidebar, quick access to favorite sites, and an in-built VPN, but it also comes with a pop-out video mode for YouTube, Netflix, and Prime Video, as well as for video conferences. Keep reading to learn more about this feature.
Use Built-in Video Pop-Out mode in Opera
Opera also comes with a native pop-out video mode. It works well with almost all streaming services and OTT platforms except for Disney+ Hotstar. This built-in feature comes with a few additions. It gives you complete playback and volume controls within the pop-out video on YouTube and Amazon Prime.
The playback controls don’t work well with Netflix and Twitch videos. It also provides transparency so as not to hinder your workflow. Here’s how you can use it.
Step 1: Go to YouTube or any other streaming service and Play a video.
Step 2: Hover your cursor over to the top of the video, and you will see a Detach the video button.
Step 3: Click on the Detach video button to play the video in pop-out mode.
It is that easy. As said before, if you are playing a video from YouTube, then you can enjoy full playback controls, but they might not work properly with other platforms.
Bonus Ways to Get Pop-Out Video for OTT Platforms
1. Using the PiP mode in Netflix App (Windows)
Netflix app on Windows allows you to play any show or movie in pop-out video mode. This is only available for the Windows version of the app. It is a native feature, and you do not have to mess with the settings to enable it. This is how you switch to pop-out video in the Netflix app.
Step 1: Play any video on the Netflix app.
Step 2: Click on the Picture-in-Picture button on the bottom right of the video to play it in a pop-out video mode.
The pop-out video gives you some controls to play and pause and rewind the video by 10 seconds.
2. Switch to Pop-out Video in Prime Video App (macOS)
Just like the Netflix app on Windows, you can enable pop-out video on the Amazon Prime Video app on the macOS version of the app. This feature is absent from the windows version for some reason. It is enabled by default and you can access it directly in the video player.
Step 1: Play a video on the Prime Video app.
Step 2: Click the Picture-in-Picture button next to the volume slider on the top right-hand side of the player.
The video will start playing in pop-out video mode. You can drag and resize it as you like on your screen.
This was a list way you can use to pop out video mode for OTT like Prime Video, Netflix, Hotstar, Twitch, or YouTube on your favorite web browser, along with bonus methods to enable it in the app. These are all free-to-use methods, and we hope you will enjoy using this pop-out video mode. It is certainly a great way to keep yourself entertained while you work and also makes multitasking easy on your desktop. We hope you enjoyed this guide, and stay tuned to Browsers Tp Use for more such amazing guides and How to’s.

SOMETIMES, a musician at the very end of their career will embark on a disappointing “farewell tour” that is little more than a ritualized last chance to pay homage to memories of better times and better performances.
However, Buddy Guy’s headlining Savannah Music Festival performances this past weekend at Trustees’ Garden were not examples of this kind of farewell tour!
One of the last surviving great legacy bluesmen, an incredibly hale and hearty 86-year-old Guy stalked the outdoor stage like a predatory cat, flinging out filthy blues licks like a machine gunner, dropping casual F-bombs, using a drumstick as a bow, and telling time-tested stories like an old-school comedian.
In short, after opening with his signature tune, “Damn Right I Got The Blues,” this was a career retrospective of sorts – a veteran pulling out all the stops, dominating the stage like a man 60 years younger, pouring out his whole bag of tricks, almost all at once, for a rapt audience to enjoy.
While it was essentially the same stage show Guy's been doing for years, including most of the stage patter... who cares? Guy always delivers the goods, and everyone at Trustees' Garden knew they were in for something special – possibly for the last time ever.
At one point, the retrospective becomes literal with Guy's typical “medley," mashing together bits of B.B. King’s big hit “How Blue Can You Get” (aka “Downhearted”); "Hootchie Coochie Man," a Willie Dixon tune popularized by Guy's Chicago Blues mentor Muddy Waters; Al Green’s “Take Me To The River"; and a tantalizingly too-short version of Hendrix’s “Voodoo Chile” – which if Guy had continued playing for 20 minutes, as Hendrix used to do live, would have been worth the cost of admission alone.
Seeing Guy cover Hendrix, it struck me that the two were essentially contemporaries – if he had lived, Jimi would only be six years younger than Buddy. And watching Guy absolutely shred the shit out of a Stratocaster brought home the analogy even further.
The Hendrix shoutout wasn’t a stretch, as Guy has always had a nastier guitar tone than many more marketable blues artists ("so funky you can smell it," as he says), such as the abovementioned King with his smooth caramel tone.
At this performance (as well as frequently throughout his career), Guy commented on how radio basically ignores the blues and bluesmen, even though most rock ‘n’ roll is explicitly based on it. In talking about Hendrix, Guy gave credit, as he often does, to the British listening audience and to UK musicians such as the Rolling Stones – who appreciated the greatness of American blues while it was mostly disregarded and devalued at home.
That said, there’s a certain liberation in not having to worry about marketability, and Guy makes the most of it. His stage patter is uniquely his own, a combination of Redd Foxx-style raunchiness, Borscht Belt corniness, and lovable good-heartedness.
He comes across like your cranky but charismatic old neighbor who you’d love to have a beer with. Oh, and who can also absolutely destroy an electric guitar.
Buddy Guy encapsulates the seeming paradox at the core of the blues, i.e., how can a music based on, and literally named after, sadness be so damn much fun?
But of course, that’s the whole point: The transcendent triumph of the human spirit over adversity.
The highlight for most attendees was the patented “walkaround,” with Guy leaving the stage and venturing a good ways into and through the adoring audience, playing a guitar solo the entire time.
Guy’s return of that adoration was evident. This is a man who literally lives for playing in front of an audience.
While this two-night SMF stand was billed explicitly as part of Guy’s “farewell tour,” the man himself didn’t seem to take that very seriously, at one point saying point-blank he’d continue playing for as long as he is alive.
But the audience surely knew that when Buddy Guy is eventually gone, the old bluesmen will be almost all gone, too. That generation of Depression-born, mostly Southern Black men who helped birth rock ‘n’ roll – but barely made a dime profiting from it – will be a fond memory. “Greatest Generation,” indeed.
As a nod to this impending handoff of the blues baton to a newer generation, Guy closed the show by inviting several younger bluesmen – including his son, Greg, who plays in his dad's band – to take turns soloing after the old master had already left the stage for good.
The visual acknowledgement of the inevitability of the passage of time – and the ability to triumph over it – was unmistakable.

Watching movies, videos, and DVDs can be a fun activity in which children and adolescents can use their imagination and fantasy. Parents should, however, consider the following issues when planning to watch movies at a the atre or at home:
- Although going to a movie theater can be exciting, movies can create anxiety for children with loud noises and frightening and upsetting scenes.
- Younger children may have trouble telling the difference between make-believe and reality. They can be upset when a parent figure dies in a movie or frightening things happen to children.
- Some children cannot tolerate the darkness of a movie theater, even with their parents present.
- Viewing movies with sex, violence, drug abuse, adult themes, and offensive language can have a negative effect on children and adolescents. Many movies are not appropriate for children or teenagers.
- Older children and adolescents may copy risky and possibly dangerous things they see in movies.
- Having a TV, VCR, or DVD player in children and adolescents’ bedrooms encourages movie watching without adult supervision.
- Movies should not replace child-care or be left on as background noise.
- If parents are unsure whether a movie is appropriate, they should view the movie in private before watching it as a family.
Tips and Recommendations for Parents:
- Check a movie’s Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) rating and read reviews before it is viewed. Movie reviews can be found online, and on AACAP’s
- Discuss upsetting or frightening events seen in a movie.
- Turn the movie off or leave the theater if your child becomes upset or frightened.
- Use the same care and attention to a movie’s content when choosing a movie to watch at home for a child or adolescent as you would a movie in the theater.
- Deciding when a teenager can go to a movie without parental supervision depends on the teenagers’ maturity and the friends going with your teenager.
- All ages of children should have their movie watching supervised by their parents or adult caretakers.
- Parents can and should be active participants in their children and adolescents movie watching experiences.
Watching movies together can be a rewarding experience. It can be an opportunity for your child to have fun with family and friends. If your child or adolescent, however, develops strong and persistent emotional reactions or behavior from seeing a movie, then consider having your child evaluated by a qualified mental health professional.

PocketNester is an NES emulator that will turn your Pocket PC into an 80s games console.
The emulator allows you to play classics such as Super Mario Bros., Zelda, WWF Wrestlemania, and Duck Tales on your Windows Mobile device. Like most emulators it works by playing ROM files that store the game data. These can be downloaded freely from the internet or created from the original cartridge. I should warn you at this point that downloading ROMs of game you don't own is illegal.
PocketNester makes it pretty easy to start playing these retro classics. You just need to choose 'Open ROM' from the 'File' menu and browse to the ROM file on your handset or portable device. The games generally load impressively quickly and are faithfully recreated with their original graphics. Bear in mind that the screen on the Pocket PC is much smaller than the TV you used to play Nintendo on so some games will be a little more fiddly and hard to view. It's also impossible to guarantee that every ROM file will work in PocketNester, so it's a case of trial and error really.
Play the game
In order to start playing games properly in PocketNester you'll probably need to play around with the Controller settings to define the keys. I found this to be quite a cumbersome process though, and you'll find that PocketNester doesn't seem to like certain key configurations.
There are lots of features and customization options to explore in PocketNester, including sound and graphics settings, full-screen mode, turbo buttons, and save slots. Unfortunately, the program is lacking in help files, so you're on your own when it comes to setting up PocketNester.
If you've got a love of retro video games then why not play all your old favorites on the bus with PocketNester?

Video games are an extraordinary way to have fun or learn, with life-like graphics and sounds that make you feel like a real part of the action. You can use your gaming time to rack up points taking out invading aliens or get ready for a college entrance exam! Learn more with the following helpful article.
Always look at the platform before buying a game for your computer. If you own a computer made by Apple, for example, you cannot run a PC game on your system. Particularly, if you aren't paying attention, it is easy to make this mistake. Invest an extra minute in the buying process to determine that you have the right version of the game.
Do not allow your child to play games on a unit that has Internet capabilities without first ensuring that the security settings are adequate. This can apply filters to the available games that kids can play, and only gives them information that is suitable for them. You can also determine how much they can chat with others while online.
If you are interested in a game that has a sequel (or two), go for the newest version of the game. In general, the newer it is, the more interesting the title will be. Therefore, don't start at the beginning and work your way through. Simply go for the best game at the beginning, especially if you have a limited budget.
Get the most for your money and buy video games used. If it isn't necessary to buy video games when they first come out, wait until you can buy a used copy. You will be able to save a little bit of money this way and still enjoy the game.
Parents should take the time to look in the game console's settings for parental controls. Consoles will have these controls within their setting's menus. These can allow you to control games by ESRB rating, the amount of time on the system and limit online access. With these controls set, your child can play games more safely.
As we all know, video games are quite expensive. You can increase your child's selection by organizing a video game co-op with neighbors or friends. Print out lists of what games each member has, and formulate a "check-out" system, allowing kids to borrow a video game for a specified period of time. Make good rules and stick to them.
Be sure that you're staying hydrated when you play a lot of video games for a lengthy time period. Gaming is great for escaping one's troubles, though it is also possible to become focused to the point of forgetting to drink water. Dehydration can be very dangerous, so make sure that you stay hydrated while playing your video games.
Do not buy a new console game when it first comes out. I know it is tempting to have the newest equipment, but history has shown that 6 months after release, many console systems price will drop $100. So save yourself some cash and wait for the initial rush to die down before you purchase your console system.
If you let your kids play games online, it is crucial that you monitor their activity. Keep an eye on who exactly they're playing with online. Child predators often use online video gaming to talk with young kids. Keep your kids safe by only allowing them to play with people you know and trust.
An excellent way to please your children with a gaming system and ensure they stay fit is to buy a Nintendo Wii. This gaming system requires actual activity to play. Your kids will not be sitting for hours on end playing a game. They have to be moving around in order to play the games on this system.
If your kids get tired of games quickly, rent them instead of buying them. You will save quite a bit of money this way. In addition to local renting options, you can also get a subscription to an online service that lets you get a game or two at a time, depending on what type of subscription that you buy. Then, your kids can simply swap out titles when they get tired of one.
When buying games for your kids, look into the features of each selection. Many new games allow for interaction with other players, most of whom will be complete strangers. Some games feature online chatting, for instance. Take your kids' ages into consideration, but also think of their maturity levels.
Go online to check the ESRB rating for the video games that you purchase for your children. This will give you an in depth analysis of what each of the ratings mean, which can make you feel comfortable that your children are put in the safest position possible when playing the game.
Make sure that all your daily chores are done before you start playing a video game. Video games can be very additive and many people end up playing for a lot longer than what they intended. Therefore, it is a good idea to make sure that all of your daily chores are completed before you start playing your favourite video game.
To save money, consider renting the games that your children play instead of buying them. This will cost a fraction of the price, and most gamers will never play a game again after the first couple of weeks. This is one of the most cost conscious things that you can do in regards to gaming.
When your eyes get tired playing video games, make sure to stop. When you strain your eyes and force yourself to continue to the next level of the game, it will harm your eyes and lead to vision problems. Pause the game and give your eyes a rest periodically to avoid these problems.
No matter what your forte in gaming is, or what the purpose behind your play, there is always something new to learn! Hopefully, this article has introduced you to a few new facts and concepts about gaming that you can put to practical use. With so much to offer, what's not to love about video games?

Ryan’s Picks will be a weekly segment on BEASTMODEDEALS.com where some of the best Amazon discounts are discussed. We will be highlighting many temporary price drops, daily offers, and limited price opportunities for consumers. The products we showcase are not intended for resale. Instead, view these hand-selected items as great shopping opportunities for yourself or someone you know!
$22 Star Wars Black Series figure for $11.99 (Chewy!)
What we have here is a $10 discount on Chewy from the Star Wars Black Series line. These figures are six inches tall and are far nicer than any Star Wars toy you grew up playing with. Perfect for a Star Wars nerd who saw the original trilogy 30+ years ago or for someone watching them for the first time. This is a discount that rarely comes around. Definitely worth stocking up on as a gift or for yourself.
$35 Lightsaber for $21.99
Next is a Star Wars Ezra Bridger Lightsaber Blaster. The discount here is $22 for a toy normally selling at $35+. This is from the newest Star Wars cartoon, Star Wars Rebels. It shoots darts in addition to all the other awesome, self-created, SWOOOSHHHHHHHHHH and BZZZZZZZZZZZZ and RZZZZZZZZZ-ing that a child will do while playing with one. A very nice deal, especially for a father/son combo with the figure above.
$70+ gaming headset for $49.99
Moving on to our gaming deals today, we have a very well reviewed gaming headset. Normally Amazon sells this for $72+. Today it’s only $50. Many gamers swear by the advantage of a good set of headphones while online gaming. Now is your chance to experience it for $22+ below what everyone else probably paid.
$50+ gaming mouse for $34.99
In addition to a good headset, many a PC gamer consider their mouse to be a fundamental tool on the online battlefield. Logitech makes some of the best around. Amazon typically sells this one for $40-50. Today it’s only $34.99. A nice discount on one of Amazon’s best sellers in the category (proven by being the #6 seller at the moment in Mice on the marketplace).
Bad ass $100+ gaming headset for $79.99
Do you recall everything I mentioned about the headset above? The DP11’s? Well apply that here, then add some siracha spice and unicorn tears because these are even nicer. These are wireless up to 40 feet and pair with PS4 and Windows 8, Windows 7 or Windows Vista computers. They are pretty extreme. Also, these MSRP for $150, and Amazon will move theirs at $100, but the price has temporarily dropped to $79.99 for today. A damn good bargain.
That’s all I’ve got for today. Check back tomorrow as you never know what deal is about to go live.

Welcome to my musical gallery. Here you can see and listen to all the material I have released of my original music. From my Brazilian fusion large ensemble that I formed for my masters degree at the JIB in Berlin to my Mannheim-based string ensemble 'Silk & Steel' to smaller side projects and results of jams and combos to experiment with new compositions.
My main band as a sideman is the power funk band FATCAT, that I've played over 400 concerts with, including Festivals like Montreux Jazz Festival, support shows for Jamie Cullum, Chaka Khan & Anastacia and performances on German national TV (ZDF). We have released 3 studio albums, 3 EPs and a number of Singles.
Since 2021 I've had the pleasure to be involved in arrangement, recording and production with the deadnotes for 2 Singles ('Easy Summer' & 'Deer in the Headlights') and an EP ('Forever Outsider') that was selected for a live session at Audiotree. As of 2023 I've performed some shows live with them on the saxophone as well as piano and small percussion.
I played with rapper Chabezo for the first time on the 'Raps'n'Horns' tour 2022 and continue to share a stage with him and his band regularly, playing the Saxophone and flute alongside Keys, handling some samples as well as a vocoder.
I have also been part of the house band of the exciting event Party Like Gatsby for the last years, playing alto, tenor saxophone and clarinet among fantastic acts such as acrobats, burlesque dancers and charleston groups.

March 25, 2021
Translated by: Maria Galanopoulou
We are celebrating Black History Month by proudly promoting Greeks of African-Arab descent!
Born in December of 1986 in Athens, Marina Satti is one of the most distinct voices of the Greek female pop music scene. And even though we know her as a recognized musician and a formidable performer, there are very few who know of the double racial pride she carries, since she comes not only from Greece, but also from Sudan. As she herself has said: “My father, who is from Sudan, had Arabic channels constantly on and he listened to Arabic music, that I used to shun back then, but which I now love. I mean he listened to contemporary Arabic songs, as well as older, big Arabic orchestras with violins, very dramatic, Umm Kulthum and stuff like that. Back then I used to say “God, I cannot stand it anymore”, and now that is all I listen to.”
Raised in Heraklion, Crete, classical piano kept her company right from the age of seven, while, as a teenager, she started studying classical singing, as well. In 2004, she sails to Athens to study Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens, as well as classical singing, jazz, theater, and dance at the Higher Drama School “Veaki”, at Kentriki Skini (English: Center Stage) Drama School, and at Philippos Nakas Conservatory. And while the awards are received one after the other, her scholarship as an exceptional music talent will give her the opportunity to specialize in synchronous orchestration and production, as well as in cinematic music at Berklee College of Music. In America, Marina encountered very different music sounds, appreciated Greek folk songs, while she also dared to dive into the sea of the sounds of her ancestors, eventually discovering her music identity. Her international collaborations in more than 15 countries in the realm of the music industry (Patrice Rushen, Peter Herbolzheimer, Zebra Omnes, etc.), her representation of Greece in the European Jazz Orchestra and her concert at Kennedy Center (Washington DC) with the World Jazz Nonet, along with her participation in the vocal band The Singing Tribe foretold her abilities as an artist early. In 2016 she establishes and conducts the a capella polyphonic band fonés, with which she ended up reaching New York, and the female choir chóres, a pilot group of 150 women of 13-55 years of age.
But Marina Satti is something more than a musician. She has given her voice to the dubbing of characters such as Moana and Ariel, and, in the context of the Festival of the General Secretariat for Gender Equality, she organized a dance-and-music performance, YALLA, in which the music traditions and contemporary sounds of more than 10 countries are united in a harmonious on-stage performance, while she has also acted in the largest productions of Greek cultural organizations (Once, Erotokritos, Shrek The Musical, Fiddler on the Roof, etc.), along with television roles (Steps, C4). In the same year, she releases a cover of the Smyrnean song “Tha Spaso Koupes” (English: I’ll Break Cups), and in the following year she releases “Mantissa” (English: Fortuneteller), which is inspired by the polyphonic songs of Epirus and rapidly climbed the Greek and international charts. In 2018, she was voted “Female Musician of the Year”, proving to us that, rather than a short-lived firework, she is a star that propels culture forward at every opportunity, promotes and empowers women, and publicly speaks out against fascism.
Smyrnean (adj.): related to or originating from Smyrna, a prominent Greek coastal city in the Anatolian peninsula. Nowadays, the city belongs to the Republic of Turkey.
Epirus is an administrative region of northwestern Greece.

Finding a good place to play your favourite casino games online may prove to be a real challenge, even for those players who spend a lot of time researching and reading trustworthy reviews. Although you can actually find a large number of truly reliable and honest online casinos, it is not rare for someone to open a casino site with the intent to quickly reach the money. Luckily, that’s not the case with the Crypto-Games-net Bitcoin Casino, because it is one of the most reliable places where you can play some popular games safe and secure, using cryptocurrencies only.
About Crypto-Games.net Casino
Started to operate in 2014 as an online slot machine, the Crypto Games Bitcoin Casino is an online gambling platform that now offers four different games, including Dice, Blackjack, Slot and Lottery. Based on the idea of safe and responsible gaming, this website if offering safe and fun environment where you can play popular games and use cryptocurrencies for all transactions.
Crypto-Games.net is a result of the close cooperation and hard work from a group of cryptocurrencies enthusiasts and fans with much of experience in programming and software engineering. Soon after they launched the first Bitcoin slot game, they have decided to enrich their offer with more popular games to play with the virtual money. At the moment, you can play up to 4 games using various cryptocurrencies.
The site features the Provably Fair gambling, a technology that is unique only to Bitcoin gambling and makes it practically impossible for the casino or a player to cheat.
In addition to the improved safety and security, Crypto Games also have an interesting referral program, where each player can get the link to advertise this website. Your account will be credited with 25% of the house edge of every bet made by everyone you refer this way.
Crypto Games Casino Game Features
As mentioned before, the casino offers 4 different games, so let’s start with the slots:
It is a classic 5-reel slot game with only 1 paying line and a total of 7 winning combination. The game features vintage fruit symbols and the odds of winning are around 49.7%.
Another great game is called Dice, a crypto dice game. Here your task is to predict whether a number the dice will roll is higher or lower than a certain digit from the range from 0.000 to 99.999. This is not a classic dice game, but it still gives you a possibility to use different systems as Martingale or D’Alembert to predict the final outcome.
Blackjack is a classic card game where your goal is to have only 2 cards with a sum that equals 21. Also, you will win if the dealer has a lower score or the same with more cards. Crypto Games Casino offers the basic variant of this popular game, so you won’t have any difficulties to start playing it immediately.
Finally, there is a lottery game called simply “The Lotto”. The goal it so have a ticket with all the winning numbers on it, just like in any other similar game. After you buy your ticket(s), simply wait for a draw that takes place twice per week, on Wednesday and Saturday.
The Crypto Games Bitcoin Casino offers both free play and the Play-Money mode, so you can actually test games without making a deposit through the so-called built faucet (reward system) that allows a restricted number of free play requests during the 24 hours time.
The Crypto Games Bitcoin Casino is a rather unique platform that doesn’t require any registration procedure. In order to keep things safe and simple, every new user will get a unique ID, which it writes into cookies and is stored there for the next 14 days.
After the system generates an ID for a newly registered user, you will get a personal deposit address where you can send your crypto coins. The procedure lasts less than 5 minutes and you’re ready to play once the first deposit is made.
Still, it is strongly recommended to add your e-mail address to your Crypto-Games.net account, because the system is programmed not to keep cookies valid after 2 weeks time. If that happens, there’s a chance to lose all your funds. Even more, you can’t register more than one account, because the system will see that as a threat and will block all accounts and confiscate all the money.

Please note that you can only play in the currency you deposit so if you started playing with Bitcoin, you can’t exchange your winnings into any other cryptocurrency.
The website has no fees for withdrawing money to your account, while the withdrawal time goes from 6 minutes for Dogecoin to 60 minutes for Bitcoins and you can make up to 10 withdrawal requests per day.

Also, Blackjack game has its own requirements where you can bet between 10 (0.00001 BTC, 0.0002 ETH, 0.001 LTC, 0.001 DASH, 0.01 PCC, 10 DOGE) and 50.000 Credits (0.05 BTC, 1 ETH, 5 LTC, 5 DASH, 50 PPC, 50.000 DOGE). In the dice game, the minimum bet amount depends on the payout.
Bonus Offers and Promotions
The Crypto-Games.net has no classic bonus offers or any welcome package that you may used to get on some other online casino websites. Still, they have regular wagering contests on all games combined where 3 users that wagered the most will receive nice awards on their account. For example, the ongoing contest will see the winner with 0.25 Bitcoins, while the second and third placed player will be rewarded with 0.1 and 0.05 Bitcoin respectively.
There is also an interesting option called “The RainBot”: if there is enough users participated in the chat, the giveaway will randomly start in intervals between 10 to 60 minutes. Based on the quality of your messages, you can actually earn a maximum of 30% of your balance as a reward, or a maximum of 10% of your daily deposit. Keep your messages free of spam, because the system is intelligent and you won’t receive much, even if writing a lot of posts.
Customer Support Service
For any queries, complaint or message, you can send an e-mail to the casino operators and they will get back as soon as possible. Although this is a nice and convenient solution, some players still prefer to contact the customer service via telephone or a live chat.
Conclusion: Crypto Games’s Overall Rating
Crypto-Games.net features some rather unique and interesting options. You won’t find an abundance of games here, only 4 are offered instead, while the user-friendly interface, simple registration process and fair gaming will certainly keep you occupied for a while.

Same ol’ story, same ol’ fun
Peach gets captured because Bowser wants to take her for his wife and you are playing Mario who is once more willing to risk his life to save her. You can say game designers for Super Mario games got an easy job here because it is known what to expect when playing it (at least in relation to the story ;)).
While you are chasing Bowser you are discovering different kingdoms with your Odyssey. Every time you complete a world by collecting enough blue/red/yellow/whatever moons you are able to power up your Odyssey and fly to another kingdom. While in the beginning you just try to capture Bowser other worlds got robbed by him and you try to get those things back. But I let you experience those things for yourself 😉
Like in other parts of the games the kingdoms have different topics: Like the wood, lake, or icy kingdom where the surroundings and enemies have different origins. In every kingdom there is a different plant and animal life to discover. You can actually become some of the inhabitants by just throwing your hat at them, which is quite fun.
At the end of a kingdom or episode, you mostly have to fight one kind of a supervillain – which sometimes is one of Bowser’s buddies (or bunnies :D) or another huge enemy where you have to find out some special strategy to be victorious. Most of the time it is just jumping on their heads :D.
Nevertheless it is a Super Mario game and it is not as complex as you might want it to be.
There are so many lovely characters in the whole game, so it’s definitely made with much affection. I really fell in love with the skull-people in the dessert <3.
The different worlds have their own feeling and authentic characters. The things they are saying or the text that is appearing over their heads when you get near the people living in the worlds are quite amusing and inventive.
During playing the different worlds you also get to play short parts in 2D, for example when you want to climb a wall. This puts you back into the old times which is quite amusing and entertaining. That’s also an awesome concept to give a game more diversity when playing.
Considering that it is a 3D Super Mario game you can say most of the things are said :D. On the switch when playing in Coop-Mode you have the controls similar to the old 2D games holding the controller sideways.
It feels quite natural but there are also some annoying and misleading functions like when you are playing the tank and have to shoot by pressing a button and move your controller to adjust the view. Maybe this just needs too much brain activity for my part 😀 Pressing buttons and moving the controller at the same time.
Additionally, I sometimes got annoyed when a jump-and-run section was too difficult and I died a lot. For example, in the sections when the floor is quite slippery. But I think those sections where always a bit of a challenge for me since the very first Super Mario I played.
I also thought one downside here was the equipment. The controllers of the Nintendo Switch are very small and I do not think that they are made for adult hands. Sometimes you are simply not able to make that small movements that would be necessary for the game.
As I mentioned before, I mostly played Super Mario Odyssey in Coop-Mode.
Initially, we were expecting that one player is playing Mario and the other one will be Luigi or any other equivalent character. Unfortunately, that was not the case but the second player is playing the hat that is accompanying Mario on his missions.
Now, as you can imagine playing only an item can soon become very boring, because also the moving possibilities were not as advanced as Mario’s. I think this can become quite a big problem for many players but we found a quite good compromise: We were changing who was playing who constantly.
So the game still stayed entertaining and sometimes I was even grateful to play more like an advising role and be passive. However, I think that’s a quite mature view of the things and that the inequality of the roles in the game can cause many fights of youngsters… So if you are buying this game for your children, it might be safer to just keep the coop-mode a secret :D.
When it comes to the coop mode I would recommend to just try it out. I am convinced it depends on the people who are playing whether you can enjoy this mode or not.
Overall it is a good Super Mario game with many different worlds. I like the way they designed each section differently – as they always did 😉 and think many of the characters are very lovely. I really enjoyed discovering the different sections. You should buy this game if you like an easy game you can play every once in a while not worrying about any complex story or controls you might forget.
However, if there is one wish I am allowed to make I would love to see more diversity at least in the end fights. Most of the time you are just jumping on their heads (three times (!)). I don’t know if there is some kind of no-go because of which the makers of Super Mario do not break this rule, but I would be happy about some changes.

Behind the Pig-n-Pancake restaurant on W. Bond Street in Astoria, Oregon, sits a non-descript gray building housing the humble Astor Street Opry Company. Here, a small band of energetic and talented actors risk bombardment from popcorn projectiles and heckles from the crowd, all in the name of good fun.
Take a seat among the audience, get cozy with your neighbors, and focus on the stage. Blur the edges of your sight and immerse yourself for a visual and auditory melodramatic treat; The Real Lewis and Clark Story…or How Astoria was Discovered by Finns!”, written and directed by Judith P. Niland.
Although arguably not as grand as Shakespeare’s plays at the Old Globe Theatre in 16th and 17th century England, the experience is not dissimilar. But instead of hurling peanuts, wind up your arm and throw popcorn. The audience is a wee bit tamer, but you still get to shirk responsibilities of ‘adulting’ for a night and embrace your inner child.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist.
Throwing popcorn is encouraged!
(Well, in the front row, it is. Those farther back probably run the risk of beaming an audience member in the back of the head.)
However, ‘Ranger River’, played by Cadet Elsa Nethercor, would agree (after much arm-twisting), that, while the story presented was far-fetched and completely inaccurate, the melodramatic presentation, The Real Lewis and Clark Story or, ‘How Astoria was Discovered by Finns!’ will make anyone laugh out loud until their stomach muscles ache.
This is the point of great melodrama; exaggerated nuttiness. The good are gooder and the bad, badder.
‘Humphrey Q. Krooke’, played by Markus Brown, is exactly what you’d expect in a villain; mustache twirling, hand-wringing, no-good-doer out to reap the riches of the west.
Little does he know that the difficulties along the way will weigh heavy on his soul…and his bear-trapped foot. Even his counterpart, ‘Sneak (not Snake!)’, played by Nate Bucholz, can’t seem to bring him out of his funk.
That’s the least of his worries.
But a story just wouldn’t be complete without our hero, ‘Captain Meriwether Lewis’, played by Jason Hippert.
I’m still giggling and I’m sure the real Captain is rolling over in his grave. Hippert plays a bloated, militaristic, effeminate, straight-laced man to a “T”, right down to his penciled-in cleft chin. Lovely buckles, my friend.
So, does the intrepid Corps of Discovery make it to Astoria? Do Lewis and Clark rise above evil and save the day? Do Ole and Sven remain ‘sweet but dumb’? I’ll leave that for you to discover on your own.
It’s not what you think.
So, come hear the “Songbird’ sing (Stacey Brown),
but never underestimate the power of these ^^^ ‘sturdy Finnish vomen’!

A week ago I stood in the photographers’ pen photographing the stars. Tonight I watched the film. Here’s what i thought.
The ugly sisters – could have been ‘uglier’ both in look and in nature and definitely more rounded in the film and maybe the prince’s character could also be a little more developed. Only slightly.
But all other characters were perfect and the actors chosen were really right for the roles.
The photography was stunning, vivid and beautiful.
The dresses were amazing. The enormous gown Cinderella wore at the ball was overwhelmingly gorgeous.
i cant see how anyone can really criticise this film. It stuck faithfully to the story. Cinders was simple and innocent and natural. The film was full of genuine emotions. it was a touching film as well as well produced. The famous leading actors like Blanchet and Bonham Carter were perfect for their roles.
It’s got to be watched on a big screen because the scenes were so full of colour and life. You’ll miss so much if you don’t watch it somewhere big like the Odeon leicester square. (And why are they knocking this cinema down?)
Two scenes stand out. 1. The CGI animations of the mice throughout (sooo lifelike!) and the turning of the pumpkin into a coach was outstanding. 2. the scene at the ball was really sumptuous.
Some people will think it’s boring because the end is already known. But that didn’t matter. There were some interesting insights. The nastiness of the evil stepmother was given a history or psychological realism – something like (not exact quote) – “Why don’t i like you? i don’t like you because you are innocent, young, beautiful and i am (not)….”
Cinderella came across as a genuine compassionate person but also could be very strong. At the end she said slowly and deliberately to her stepmother, “You are not and never will be my mother”. And the very last time Cinderella spoke to her stepmum she turned back and said “i forgive you…” That too was a nice touch. Forgiveness is so often missing from the storyline. There was something almost christlike in her final words rather fitting for an easter release!

A Studio of One’s Own: Backstory of Won't Let You Down
The best part about having some success in music is that you get to make more music. And music is the best!
Having spent the first half a dozen years after I graduated from college toiling as a freelance bass player for some odd 14 touring bands at a time, being continuously passed off at dusty highway-side rest areas from one shitty 12-passenger van at the end of of tour, straight into the next shitty 12-passenger van at the beginning of another tour, I was overjoyed when at the age of 27 I found myself, thanks to the success of my band Lake Street Dive, finally possessing Virginia Woolf’s classic recipe for creativity: money and a room of one’s own. Truth be told, I actually still didn’t have my own room…I was paying $150 a month to inhabit a Brooklyn living room. And the money was not much to speak of either…butbecoming a one-band woman had left me with swaths of TIME between tours, and there was enough cash to put food and beer on the table for me while I took my first ever solo songwriting retreat at a studio in the (slightly creepy) woods of inland Maine.
It was paradise. It was a studio I’d recorded two records in already, with two different bands and I knew its instruments and atmosphere well but now I had it all to myself! No schedules or agendas to attend to and crucially, no cell service or internet as well….just each day an uninterrupted flow of creativity, following each thought from the seed of an idea to where it made my mind wander from there, to where the wandering ideas coalesced and blossomed into something concrete, and then at the end of the day listening back to complete songs that I’d made THAT day, that hadn’t existed when I woke up. Amazing! All of those hours in the van, listening to Fleetwood Mac, Beck, McCartney, The Zombies, Cyndi Lauper, The Flaming Lips, etc, had endowed me with a wellspring of ideas and enthusiasm for music, and now, with time and space to work, the songs were just pouring out of me. I ran wild. I wrote songs about sex dreams (Daniel.) I wrote songs about gun violence (What Happened Today.) I wrote songs in odd meters that swerved through vast harmonic landscapes (Serenity) and slow, barren, cyclical songs that wallowed in their simplicity, self-aware that they, like their narrator, were doomed to repeat themselves (Who Are We Kidding?) I was in heaven. Then when I got back to the city, another opportunity presented itself…
I’d developed a friendship over my years in Brooklyn with a musician who I was secretly in awe of, musically. When he would invite me to a show or a party he was having, I would get all excited and nervous, then show up and try to act totally casual around him, like he was just any other friend to me and I wasn’t covertly obsessing over his encyclopedic knowledge of records, his vintage instruments and recording gear and the way he could effortlessly put different styles and eras of music on a footing of equality in his mind, mentioning 50s exotica in the same breath as George Michael and finding un-ironic merits in both. The ability to see past the fads of production and hear the songs and the sounds themselves, seemed like the epitome of cool to me. In an effort to seem cool to him, I’d told this man, the drummer and producer Robin MacMillan, about my Maine songwriting getaway before I left for it. When I got back he wanted to hear the fruits of my labor, and with those ears that can hear through production elements and into the songs (and specifically, could ignore my very suspect drumming on the demos) he got really excited about the possibilities for this music and asked if we could start working together in his studio in Brooklyn. Duh, I accepted!
Here we are again at the awesomeness of time and space for creativity… Now in my breaks from touring with Lake Street Dive, at home in Brooklyn, I had a STUDIO to work in! And a brilliant, capable, creative, open-minded, patient producer and engineer to work with. As liberated as I had felt writing alone in Maine, working with Robin in Brooklyn was like being free, with wings! We had no deadline and it was his studio space, so we took our time. We experimented. We labored over the sounds and the parts that each instrument would play and how they weaved in and out of each other. We put weird space sounds on things and turned em up loud (Won’t Let You Down.) We made some songs really really big (Nothing Does It) and some songs really really exposed (So Long.) We put things backwards. We used tape. We blew out amps. We got better and better at working together over time, let the music flow, and just kept doing it until we realized we had made a record. And then we listened to that record, and we loved it!
SO, all of this is to say, I made this music. And music is the best! This is an album that was made out of absolute love for music and blissfully unfettered by worldly concerns. I think accordingly, it’s some of my most personal and honest musical output to date. It’s fun, it’s sad, it rocks and it broods, I’m really proud of it and I hope I can continue to be so lucky as to make music for the rest of my life! Thanks for listening!!! -Bridget Kearney
p.s make sure to listen to “Wash Up” because it’s my favorite! As a lyrics nerd, I love the way the verses introduce the chorus, so by the time you get there “wash up” means simultaneously “clean up your act” and “go fuck yourself” at the same time. As a music nerd, I love that you can say “clean up your act/go fuck yourself” and make it feel so good!

Deception (Powell Book 3) by Bill Ward – My Review!!
I do like a good thriller, and Deception by Bill Ward, fits the bill (no pun intended). Read on to see what I thought about the book!
Synopsis (from the author):
The Americans aren’t happy with the changing political climate in Britain. Elements of the CIA and MI6 enter into a conspiracy to help shape the thinking of the British public.
Meanwhile ISIS has a plan to bring terror to the streets of Britain.
Powell is caught in the middle when he offers help to a former lover, whose life is in danger. Soon it becomes evident, someone will stop at nothing to see them both silenced.
Unsure who can be trusted, Powell must act to save the lives of his friends and right a terrible wrong.
What I liked:
The book started with a bang and didn’t let up until the end. The idea that government agencies would work to influence the public’s opinion in a nefarious way harkens back to any number of scandals, and makes it believable. Powell and the other characters were believable, too. With plenty of action, good characters, and an entertaining storyline, I liked Deception!
What I didn’t like:
I had a little trouble with the idea that the Americans could run such a complex operation in Britain, but once I accepted it, the story worked. I thought the demise of Lara was too predictable, as well.
Deception by Bill Ward was an entertaining read. Good action, good characters, and a believable plot makes this a book to add to your TBR list! My only regret is that I picked up the third book in the series…now I have to read the first two!

“The Walt Disney Company apologises after Disneyland Paris employee ruins marriage proposal.
Disneyland Paris has apologised after a worker interrupted a romantic wedding proposal, in a moment caught on video that has gone viral.
In footage shared on Reddit, a man was seen getting down on one knee to propose to the woman, only to be interrupted by a worker who ran between them and grabbed the ring out of his hands, The Independent reported.
The worker then ran down the platform, and gestured to the couple to get down.
The man is seen telling the employee that she said yes, to which the employee responds: “That’s great, but over here will be even better.”
Though the couple seemed confused by the employee’s action, they eventually followed him down.
The clip was shared by the man’s best friend who clarified that his friend had asked for permission from the park to propose there prior to the incident.
The Walt Disney Company headquarters in California has since issued an apology for the incident.
In a phone interview with The New York Times, the man known as Ante, said that he and his fiancée were saddened after his proposal was interrupted by the employee.
“Disneyland stands for dreams,” he said.
“Our moment was destroyed.”
The 31-year-old man said he had been planning the proposal for five months, ever since his 26-year-old fiancée gifted him Disneyland tickets for Christmas.
Since the incident, Ante revealed that Disney has contacted the couple by phone and email to give them a free weekend at any Disneyland park and hotel of their choice.
Ante mentioned that they rejected the offer and that they would not be visiting Disneyland anymore.
“They can’t give us the moment back and that’s the only thing I want — to get a second chance.” (Source: The New York Times)

The Duncan High School Bands are committed to a tradition of excellence. Duncan offers its students many musical opportunities through membership in the DHS Bands. In Duncan Public Schools, students begin learning musical instruments at the middle school in sixth grade. After this year, they join the Middle School Concert Band, which consists of both seventh and eighth grade students.
At the high school, students are able to be members in the Marching Band, the Concert Band, the Basketball Band, the Jazz Band, and the Percussion Ensemble as well as numerous solo and ensemble opportunities. We perform two concerts annually with all our combined concert ensembles; a holiday concert in December and a spring concert in May. Additionally, the concert band and Jazz band go to contest each year and perform a pre-contest concert for parents and friends. These performances are free and open to the public and are in addition to performances at athletic events for the district.
Students of the DHS Bands are encouraged to audition and participate in many honor bands throughout the year and over the summer. We have a rich tradition of students who have been named to All-Region and All-State Bands. Also, as part of our curriculum, students participate in solo and ensemble contests as these opportunities provide our students with venues to further develop their musical skills.
The Goals of the Duncan Band Program
The goals of the Duncan band program are as follows:
Duncan Band Boosters
One of the most active Booster organizations in Duncan are the Duncan Band Boosters. This group of dedicated parents, grandparents and anyone else who supports the band, work extremely hard to keep the excellence of the band intact. Through this group's financial assistance, they have helped in the purchase of two band trailers, various instruments and many, many meals for our band students.
The Band Boosters' largest fundraiser is the annual Dehydrator Bike Race. This event brings in riders from all over the state of Oklahoma, as well as the surrounding states. This event is held the last Saturday in July.
Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at the High School Bandroom, and anyone interested in supporting the bands, grades 6 - 12, are always welcome.

Strand Theatre History
The theatre was built and owned in 1946 by Mr. Hairsine of Birtle. It had a seating capacity of 400 with living quarters at the back. It was originally called the Star Dust Theatre and when it was sold to Mr. Chuck Doerr in 1954, he changed the name to The Strand. Mr. and Mrs. Kobell purchased the theatre in 1955, and after the death of Mr. Kowbell in 1966, Mrs. Kowbell operated it until 1977 when she sold it to Pat and Bill Gerlock. In March of 1979, Bill, Marilyn and Bob Holden purchased it. There have been many changes. In 1984, the candy bar was added to the north side of the theatre. In 1994, the projector was upgraded and a platter system was installed. In 2003 a new sound surround and seating were installed.
From 2009, the Prairie Vision Arts Council began renting the apartment at the back. The Arts Council built a stage and installed stage lighting and sponsored concerts.

Georg Zeppenfeld – Biografie
Vertretung: Austria | Sundry territories, Kontakt: Helga Machreich-Unterzaucher
Tel.: +43 (0)5 0680-12, E-Mail: [email protected]
After completing his training as a music and German teacher, Georg Zeppenfeld went on to study concert and operatic singing at the Academies of Music in Detmold and Cologne, under the guidance of Professor Hans Sotin. After his first operatic engagements, which took him to the Municipal Theatre in Münster and to the Bonn Opera, he was engaged by the Sächsische Staatsoper Dresden (Semperoper) in 2001 and has been a member of the ensemble ever since.
Performing with such renowned conductors as Myung-Whun Chung, Daniele Gatti, Fabio Luisi, Kent Nagano, Peter Schneider, Marcello Viotti, and Leif Segerstam, Zeppenfeld has been able to develop an extensive repertoire of predominantly serious bass roles from various periods and styles. Among them are Monteverdi’s Seneca/L’INCORONAZIONE DI POPPEA, and Mozart’s Sarastro, Commendatore, Figaro, Bartolo, and Don Alfonso, as well as Verdi’s Padre Guardiano/LA FORZA DEL DESTINO, Sparafucile/RIGOLETTO, Zaccaria/NABUCCO, Banquo/MACBETH, and Philipp II/DON CARLO, Wagner’s Fasolt/DAS RHEINGOLD, Veit Pogner/DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG, Landgraf Herrmann/TANNHÄUSER, Gurnemanz/PARSIFAL, König Heinrich/LOHENGRIN, and König Marke/TRISTAN UND ISOLDE, Mussorgsky’s Pimen/BORIS GODUNOV, and Dvořák’s Water Sprite/RUSALKA.
Guest appearances have taken him to the leading opera houses of Germany, such as Hamburg, Berlin and Munich, and to international music centers including Amsterdam, Antwerp, Luxemburg, Barcelona, Madrid, Paris and Vienna as well as New York, San Francisco, Chicago, and more. He made his debut in 2010 at the Bayreuther Festspiele in the role of König Heinrich/LOHENGRIN and returned in 2011 as Veit Pogner/DIE MEISTERSINGER VON NÜRNBERG (recorded with the BSO under the baton of Marek Janowski). After his debut in the role of Philebos/DER KÖNIG KANDAULES in 2002, he has regularly appeared at the Salzburg Festival in operatic, lied, and oratorio performances alike. In summer 2012, he returned to Salzburg as Sarastro in a new production of DIE ZAUBERFLÖTE, conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt. At the Glyndebourne Festival, Zeppenfeld appeared in the role of König Marke. In 2005, he sang Sarastro in a new production at the Festspielhaus Baden-Baden; in 2007, he made his triumphant U.S. debut at the San Francisco Opera House in the same role, which he also sang at the Metropolitan Opera in New York in 2009 and at the Wiener Staatsoper in 2011.
Among his recent highlights are his debut at the Grand Théâtre de Genève, where he sang König Heinrich in a new production of Richard Wagner’s LOHENGRIN, as well as guest performances at La Scala di Milano in the role of Commendatore/DON GIOVANNI, followed by Landgraf Herrmann/TANNHÄUSER.
Highlights of the 2011/12 season include Peneios in Vienna, Sarastro in Munich, Barcelona and at the Salzburger Festspiele as well as Gurnemanz in Lyon, and others.
The 2012/13 season takes him to Antwerp, Gent and Luxembug in the role of Gurnemanz, and to Hamburg as Landgraf Hermann and König Heinrich. In Dresden, Georg Zeppenfeld will appear in his major role of Sarastro as well as in the roles of Rocco/FIDELIO, Daland/DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER and Zoroastro in Händel‘s ORLANDO.
In addition to his operatic engagements, Georg Zeppenfeld also pursues an active international career as a concert singer. In particular, the works of Bach, Handel, Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven as well as the great late Romantic oratorios have given him the opportunity to sing in many of Europe’s leading concert venues.
Recent engagements include concerts with the Munich Philharmonic as well as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Christian Thielemann, Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra under Pierre Boulez, Gewandhausorchester Leipzig under Riccardo Chailly, Concentus Musicus Wien under Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Filarmonica della Scala under Kurt Masur, Accademia di Santa Cecilia in Rome, Orchestre National de France, Sächsische Staatskapelle Dresden and other leading orchestras which allowed him to expand his stylistic spectrum and by that to accentuate his immense vocal versatility. In Summer 2012, Zeppenfeld sang Beethoven‘s 9TH SYMPHONY with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra in Birmingham, at the Lucerne Festival and the Beethovenfest in Bonn; in November 2012 he returned to his University in Detmold for a recital.
Georg Zeppenfeld has participated in numerous radio and TV productions and many CD recordings. He sang in the Memorial Day performance of Verdi’s REQUIEM under Daniele Gatti on the 60th anniversary of the destruction of Dresden, which was televised by ARTE and released on DVD. His artistic achievements are documented on CD and DVD recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Deutsche Harmonia Mundi, Oehms classics, and Unitel, as well as radio and TV productions for major German broadcasting corporations.

“We don’t make mistakes…just happy little accidents.” Happy Little Accidents is the game where your mistakes become your masterpieces! Celebrate your creativity in this positive party game inspired by the wisdom of legendary painter Bob Ross. You will surprise yourself by transforming abstract shapes and squiggles into charming pieces of art. Then share your clever doodles and award points to other players for their inspired creations.
It’s time to defend the house! When the McCallister family jets off for the holidays, they accidentally leave 9-year-old Kevin home alone. And now, the notorious Wet Bandits are casing the neighborhood, hoping to score some valuable loot! Team up as the burglars to try and steal the goods, or play as Kevin to unleash an arsenal of creative contraptions to protect the house. Who will triumph—the little guy or the bad guys?
It’s ok to play with your food! Pick your favorite Monster Cereal character and battle to see who can “eat” the most cereal. In this fast-paced game of luck and strategy, players collect as many Cereal Cards in their Bowls as they can. Each Monster has special powers to give you an advantage and help you gobble up the most cereal. Use Milk Tokens to combine Cereal Cards and take bigger bites. The Monster Cereal character that munches the most wins the game!
The Brady kids are at it again, and Alice is on the hunt for a Troublemaker! Will the siblings stick together or will they help Alice solve this family mystery? One player takes on the role of Alice, and the other players are the Brady kids. Everyone gets in on the mischief making as they try to fool Alice or snitch on their sibling. You’ll be humming along to The Brady Bunch theme as you snoop and scheme with your favorite TV family.
One player is the bank and controls the guards while the other players are a team of robbers. Take turns planning your actions by playing cards – but keep your strategies secret. Then take turns revealing your actions by moving, picking up money bags, triggering alarms, and more!
Will the bank win by protecting its loot?
Or will the robbers make off like bandits?
Find out in this suspenseful game of teamwork and competition!
The Wizard Always Wins…but the question is, WHO is the true Wizard? Round by exciting round, players jockey for news roles –from the Trader and the Oracle to the Apprentice and more. Each of the seven roles offer different abilities that are useful for leveling up your power. Yet only the player who is the true Wizard will pull their own gem from the Bag of Fate and claim victory!
Earn “chill points” by painting landscape features like Happy Little Trees and Almighty Mountains using colors and brushes from your hand of cards. Keep your eye on what other players are doing and be strategic about the sequence in which you complete the features. All the while, Bob sets the painting pace as he advances across the easel, offering sage encouragement and bonus opportunities for even more chill.

True North Theatre invites you to visit The Moors, written by Jen Silverman and directed by Jasmine A. Ireland.
Two sisters and a mastiff live out their lives on the bleak English moors, dreaming of love and power. Agatha, the elder spinster sister, is a dangerous, powerful woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants. Huldey, the younger spinster sister, is enamored of her diary and the fame and glory its words could bring her. The arrival of Emilie, a hapless governess, sets all three on a strange and dangerous path. And then there’s the brooding, depressed mastiff who has developed an affection for a wounded Moor-hen needing care and attention. Above all, The Moors is a dark comedy about love, desperation, and visibility.
PLEASE NOTE: The Moors is intended for mature audiences. Scenes of stage violence and adult situations are depicted.
COVID-19 POLICY: True North Theatre requires that all patrons attending this production be masked.
SEIZURE WARNING: This production contains strobe lights, which may affect patrons who are sensitive to photosensitive epilepsy or other photosensitivities.

A little boy in a Darth Vader costume and a guy sucking Doritos crumbs off a co-worker's fingers were among the main characters in the most-liked TV commercials of 2011, according to a report released this week.
Nielsen surveyed TV viewers to find out which ads they liked best. It assigned the ads a "Likeability Score" based on the results. "The best-liked ads reflect the enduring value of traditional ad elements that have withstood the test of time -- strong creative, simple and engaging messaging, and a solid emotional connection," the company said.
Nielsen explained the methodology:
The Likeability Score is the percentage of TV viewers who report to like "a lot" an ad they were exposed to during the normal course of viewing TV (among those recalling the brand of the ad). These scores are then indexed against the mean score for all new ads during the period (Likeability Index). 100 equals average.
Read as: With a Likeability Index of 231, the top-ranked Volkswagen ad has proven to be 131 percent better-liked than the average new commercial during the measured period.
Nielsen also discussed the most remembered brand integrations into dramas and sitcoms, as well as the top primetime programs with product placement activity. The Big Bang Theoryand Desperate Housewives had particularly memorable brand integration, but reality TV shows held nine of the top 10 slots for product placement.
Turn the pages for videos of the top 10 commercials.
Likability Index: 201
Another ad that describes how the product brings families closer together. I like that the dad here seems grumpy at first about being woken up in the middle of the night.
After watching these two commercials, I'm bawling like a five-year-old. I'll present the remaining ads without commentary. Watch them while I compose myself.

Slots is a favorite game for many players in the UK and many other countries all over the world. It is very simple and does not involve any complicated game plays. This makes it very popular among all types of players, and perhaps even the casinos tend to enjoy offering these games to their clients. The advancement of technology has made them more stylish and fancy. Video and 3D slots are offering a realistic, real and intriguing gaming experience which is worthwhile.
There are many slot titles, and more are being created everyday by some of the most reputable software developers in the industry. They come with excellent sound effects and perfectly designed symbols that enable players to enjoy their gambling experiences. The old themed slot machines are continuously being replaced with new modernized ones. The developers are also attempting to create more intriguing game plays that will excite the newbies and the experts alike.
Types of Slots in Online Casinos
There are many types of slot machines found in online casinos. They can be played through the apps or no download through the browsers. None of them can be completely faced out because they all have their own players. They include:
- 3 reeled slots
- 5 reeled slots
- Progressive slots
- Video slots
The three reeled slot machines make up the older version, but it is still widely played all over the world. The modern five reeled games are currently the most played and most developers are focusing on them. Most of them have 20 or twenty five bet lines, and players can activate the desired number of pay lines. The progressive slot machines have massive jackpots that keep on increasing as more people lose. The pool of funds can be obtained from a single machine, all machines in a single house or all machines in a certain jurisdiction.
The video slots are the modern slot machines with excellent graphics and features, exciting sounds and themes. They are normally based on various movies, superheroes, TV shows, history, mystic features and great artworks. These ones use sophisticated technology to provide an exciting experience. The players get a unique opportunity of interacting with their favorite theme characters in a special way while making real money.
Slot machines can also be further classified as low, medium or high variance games. The low variance games have good regular wins, but the jackpot is not big. The medium variance games, on the other hand, have a relatively large jackpot while the high variance slots have the largest jackpots and moderate regular wins. It is essential to know the type of game you are playing so as to know what to look forward to.
Another factor to consider while playing slot games is the return to player percentage. This basically shows you how generous a slot game is. For instance, a 94% RTP means that the casino takes in 6% of the wagers and gives out 94%. However, this is an average value obtained after a long time hence cannot show a very direct impression.
Top 5 Tips to Win More
Betting at a maximum in slot machines can be very expensive, and most players may not afford to. But, does this mean that their fate of winning is sealed? Definitely not, players can win big without necessarily playing at the maximum wager. Here are the top 5 ways of doing so:
Play low variance slots
The low variance slots have moderate jackpots hence giving you an opportunity to concentrate on the regular payouts. These payouts are significant and can lead to sizeable gains at the end of the day. You should choose the type of slot to play depending on your bankroll. If you cannot afford to go for the big jackpots, then the low variance slots are highly recommended.
Play the slots with the best bonus features
The bonus rounds lead to free spins and multipliers which can lead to massive wins. They can enable you to increase your money value from even a penny to a sizeable amount of money. The only caution is to check whether players can activate the bonus rounds even when not playing at the maximum. This is the importance of reading about the slot or playing the free games for fun.
Also, you should take advantage of bonuses such as the free spins, no deposit bonuses, and the deposit bonuses. They could be given as welcome bonuses or loyalty bonuses. You should play as many rounds as possible in order to increase your chances of making several regular payouts hence it is important to use your bonuses wisely. The best bonuses should be large and should have excellent terms and conditions that will enable you to cash out easily. The main condition to consider is the wagering requirement because it determines the possibility of cashing out.
Keep the video slots away
Video slot machines have excellent sounds and graphics which offer an interactive game play which makes gambling more exciting. However, they take longer to load the winning symbols and this lag time could have been used to make a few more spins in the classic slots. The casinos take advantage of this factor to decrease the winning probabilities of the players. This decrease could be as low 5% or so, but this is quite significant when it comes to slot games.
Play the slots that offer the same prize potential regardless of the wagered amount
This is a classic feature that is offered by some of the best slot titles. They have huge jackpots, and all players stand a chance of walking away with them regardless of the amount they bet. The difference here is that the higher the amount wagered, the higher the chances of winning the jackpot. Also, the bonus feature is not limited to a certain bet line hence players must not activate all of them. It is totally random hence any player can win. Mega Moolah is one of the slots that work with these terms.
Go for the fixed jackpot slots
The fixed jackpot slots are normally lower than the progressive jackpots hence players are able to concentrate on the regular wins also. These fixed jackpot slots tend to award wins more frequently than the progressive slots. The aim of the house is to make profits hence it has to make more money before it can award the jackpot. This, in turn, decreases the frequency of wins for all the games. Cashing out without wagering at the maximum depends on getting several moderate wins which can eventually be quite big. If your chances of making wins are lower, it becomes difficult to make any gains.
Slot games require players to win severally in order to make sizeable gains. This is the best strategy, and it tends to work perfectly for most players. However, it is often impossible to do it while betting the maximum because of the cost implications. The best way out of this is to play without betting the max and still stand a chance to walk out of the casino a winner. These five tips are excellent ways to cash out on slots without betting the maximum. You can try them out and experience effective, low cost gambling.

August 26th was a magical night! My new works, “Cheap Seats” and “Slate,” were only completed just a week or so before the concert. Thanks to Maria Schneider for her music lessons, score, and permission to use her phenomenal music! Somehow, it all came together, as things usually do, and the dancers did a bang up job! Another big thank you to Megan Slayter for flying in from Michigan to do my lighting design. She made the pieces come to life!
As I stood in the back watching the night unfold, I felt a sense of joy: not only were we able to pull the gig off in two months, but I was able to reunite old friends in the cast. I even had an old friend, Sarah Levine, stage manager extraordinaire, join me to work her magic in the wings. As I hugged the sweaty dancers afterward in the dressing room, I was almost knocked over by the enormous amount of energy being exuded in the room. A cast of six incredibly talented dancers, all with amazing gifts, were together once again with me to ignite a powerful match that blew me away! Job well done, my friends! Thank you so much!

Downforce - EN von Wolfgang Kramer Neu!2017
2-6 Sp. ab 14 J.; Spieldauer: 30-45 Min.
Downforce is a card game for 2-6 players based on Top Race, the award-winning design by the legendary Wolfgang Kramer. Players first bid to own the six cars in the race.

Whoever has the most money from their prize money, winning bets, and remaining bank wins the game.
Downforce is our restoration of Wolfgang Kramer’s classic. For nearly 40 years, this card-driven racing game has been the delight of gamers and families. Known by many names – Top Race, Daytona 500, Cleveland Grand Prix – we bring it to you now as Downforce.

That year, the USA passed an anti-gambling bill that attempted to block players from accessing online casinos.
In response to that, Golden Palace left the USA market but created a sister site called Golden Casino that would continue serving players from the USA.
Unfortunately, Golden Casino stopped servicing all American players on December 1st, 2009.
The new Golden Casino was an instant success thanks to backing from the powerful "Golden Palace" name.

This blog was originally published on the Grand Lodge of Ohio website.
In 1999, country singer Brad Paisley released his first album, Who Needs Pictures. It was quickly met with critical acclaim, and Paisley was well on his way to stardom, receiving numerous accolades that year. He has created compelling country music for over two decades that has redefined the genre, earning him several Grammy Awards, dozens of chart-topping singles, and selling over 11 million albums. His rapid rise to fame came seemingly from nowhere but was, in truth, the result of relentless study, practice, and experience that began when Paisley was a young boy.
As a Freemason, Paisley has been an ambassador for DeMolay International and is a member of the Scottish Rite, Southern Jurisdiction. Due to his position as a modern pop culture icon, his advocacy for the virtues of the Craft is significant, and Brethren country-wide value his commitment to Masonic principles. Brother Paisley continues the lineage of great men and creative minds that have devoted themselves to the tenets of Brotherly Love, Relief, and Truth.
The Young Star
Brad Paisley was born on October 28, 1972, in Glen Dale, West Virginia, to parents Douglas Edward "Doug" Paisley and Sandra Jean "Sandy" (née Jarvis) Paisley. He was an only child who, thanks to the influence of his grandfather, Warren Jarvis, gained a passion for country music while still young.
Warren, who worked on the railroad, was a bluegrass acoustic guitarist and gave young Brad his first guitar, a Danelectro Silvertone when he was eight years old. Warren started giving his grandson lessons, and before long, Brad performed publicly for his community at church and received invites to play events throughout town, including holiday parties and events.
"Born on Christmas Day" was the first song Brad wrote when he was just 13 years old, and it later made it onto his album Brad Paisley Christmas. Around this time, he also formed his first band with a local musician, Clarence "Hank" Goddard: Brad Paisley and the C-Notes. While still in junior high school, Brad's principal invited him to perform at a Rotary Club meeting after hearing him perform. The Rotary Club performance impressed Tom Miller, the program director of a radio station in Wheeling, West Virginia, that he asked Brad to guest star on Jamboree USA. His appearance was such a hit that he spent the next eight years returning to Jamboree USA, opening for country singers such as The Judds, Ricky Skaggs, and George Jones.
College and Early Career
In 1991, Paisley graduated from John Marshall High School in Glen Dale and went on to attend West Liberty State College in West Liberty, West Virginia for two years. From there, he received a full scholarship from the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP) to attend Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee. Paisley majored in music business and received a bachelor’s degree in 1995.
By the time Brad graduated in 1995, he had already completed internships with ASCAP, Atlantic Records, and Fitzgerald-Hartley Management. Not only did these positions help him build foundational experience and knowledge of the music industry, they also allowed him to network and foster relationships with contacts in the business, including scouts from EMI Music Publishing.
Within days of graduating, Brad signed a songwriting deal with EMI and soon recorded a demo of his song, "I'm Gonna Miss Her." During this time, he wrote David Kersh's hit song, "Another You," and co-wrote David Ball's 1999 single, "Watching My Baby Not Come Back." The success of his songs quickly earned Brad a recording contract with Arista Records, and in 1998 he began to work on his first record.
Rise to Stardom
By the time Brad began writing Who Needs Pictures, he had already written enough songs to fill several albums. Despite limited experience in studios, Brad relied on his tour band to help record the album and played all the guitar parts himself. He invited his college friend, Frank Rogers, to produce the album despite having no experience working on a major record.
Trusting his instinct proved the right decision, and Brad released his first major album on June 1, 1999. The record sold more than one million copies and earned Paisley several chart-topping hits, including, "He Didn't Have to Be," "Me Neither," and "We Danced." Brad was an instant sensation, and the following year, the Academy of Country Music (ACM) named him the Best New Male Vocalist. He received the Horizon Award from the Country Music Association (CMA), and the album went certified platinum in less than two years.
As the accolades poured in, Paisley secured his place as a national icon, appearing at Nashville's legendary Grand Ole Opry for the first time. In 2001, he was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Later that year, pulling from his massive collection of pre-written songs, Brad returned with his second record: Part II. The album included several guest appearances from celebrities and saw several hit singles, including, "I'm Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin' Song)," "I Wish You'd Stay," "Wrapped Around," and "Two People Fell in Love." Part II enjoyed over 70 weeks on the national music charts and was certified platinum the following year.
In the last 20 years, Paisley released ten more albums to wide-ranging appeal and acclaim. He received praise for steadily releasing a diverse array of music, from his instrumental, "Throttleneck" to the mournful, "Whiskey Lullaby," written in collaboration with critically acclaimed bluegrass singer Alison Krauss. He has written and performed with countless artists, including Dolly Parton, Carrie Underwood, Mick Jagger, Demi Lovato, and LL Cool J.
Paisley has stated that his albums are musical photographs of his life and considering his journey, it seems to reflect the diversity of his music. The content of his songs touch on lighthearted and everyday topics while also tackling complex social subjects like racism, hatred on the internet, and cultural identity.
He performed at The White House for President Barack Obama and has toured the country nearly 20 times as a headliner and opening act. Brad has also written songs for Pixar's Cars franchise, including "Behind the Clouds," "Find Yourself," "Collision of Worlds," "Nobody's Fool," and more.
Paisley has also written two books, including the 2003 release Jug Fishing for Greazy and Other Brad Paisley Fishing Stories. In 2011, he published his autobiography Diary of a Player: How My Musical Heroes Made a Guitar Man Out of Me, which catalogs his early life and career in music.
Brother Brad Paisley is an active Freemason, and member of Hiram Lodge #7 in Franklin, Tennessee. Paisley has made Freemasons proud for years, demonstrating Masonic values through more than just his artistic contributions. Even as a young emerging artist in 2000, Paisley used his influence to help those most in need when he secured a sponsorship deal with USA Meats. With this sponsorship, the Brad Paisley Foundation used the funding to benefit the Children's Miracle Network, St. Jude's Research Hospital, the Opry Trust Fund, and the American Cancer Society.
Bro. Paisley is also a Noble of the AAONMS, also known as Shriners, and a member of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, Southern Jurisdiction. When he was inducted into the Scottish Rite on October 28, 2006, he was accompanied by his father, Douglas Paisley, 33°, at the House of the Temple in Washington D.C. Brad's keyboardist Kendall Marcy joined the Scottish Rite that day. Scottish Rite brethren from Marcy's Blue Lodge in Tennessee and West Virginia participated in the ceremony with both new Brothers. They witnessed the 4th, 14th, 18th, 30th, and 32nd degrees during the proceedings.
During his time in the Craft, Brad has developed recordings supporting the virtues of Freemasonry and DeMolay International. He has been instrumental in helping the fraternity maintain a positive reputation in the modern world, emphasizing the helpful impact Masons have in our communities.

Sony’s PlayStation 4 has an x86 processor and other new hardware to provide better gaming and streaming services
Seven years after the release of the PlayStation 3, Sony has disclosed details about its new PlayStation 4 gaming console, which it said will be out by the end of this year.
Sony introduced its latest console at an event in New York City on Wednesday evening. The PS4 will focus on “multidimensional” gaming and has superior hardware to improve the player experience, said Andrew House, president and CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment.
The new console will be out in time for the holiday shopping season, Sony said. It did not announce any pricing.
The goal is to put the PS4 at the center of the living room by offering the latest in console design, connected gaming and services, House said.
The PS4 runs on an eight-core x86 CPU and an improved graphics processor, delivering a combined 2 teraflops of performance. The console includes 8GB of memory and a local hard drive. Sony also introduced a new DualShock 4 gaming controller with a range of tracking and connectivity features to improve gaming quality on PS4.
The PS4 now effectively carries the system architecture of gaming desktop PCs, which are largely based on x86 chips. The x86 CPU is a big change from IBM’s Cell processor used in the PS3. That should close the gap between PCs and gaming consoles, which for a long time have been incompatible as Playstation games could not be run on PCs. Sony did not announce the chip supplier for the PS4, but it is rumored to be Advanced Micro Devices.
The PS4 console succeeds the PlayStation 3, which started shipping in 2006. Sony introduced a new PS3 model with a slimmer design and new hardware in 2009.
Sony’s other flagship console, the handheld PlayStation Vita, has struggled since its worldwide launch last year. Earlier this month, the company slashed its sales target for portable games by 30 percent, to 7 million, and has announced it will soon cut the price of the device by a third in Japan.
The PS4 will also carry a specialized processor that speeds up the delivery of online games. It will also have a new social networking interface and be able to interact with tablets and smartphones. A remote play feature allows games to be transferred to the PlayStation Vita console, and Sony said it wants to make every PS4 game compatible with Vita in the future.
Games that will be available for the device include a new “Final Fantasy” from Square Enix and “Watch Dogs” from Ubisoft. Blizzard Entertainment, known for PC games, said it will make a version of “Diablo” for the PS4 and the PS3. Games from other big makers are also expected.
In the PlayStation Network (PSN), users will be able to try games before they download them. Facebook and Ustream are also being integrated into the network, which Sony executives said will make PSN the most social gaming network available. Gameplay can be broadcast through Ustream, and a broadcast button on the controller will allow users to interact with PSN friends, who can assist or even take over gaming.
Sony will deliver movies and music through its Sony Entertainment Network, and is working with online streaming services like Netflix and Amazon to stream movies and other content to the PS4.
The PlayStation 4 is a rare Sony gadget that still generates the kind of buzz that made the company famous. CEO Kazuo Hirai, who previously oversaw Sony’s game division, has promised more hit products and said he personally selects and oversees promising projects.
In July of last year, Sony said it had agreed to acquire Gaikai for about US$380 million. The company said at the time it would use the purchase to deliver a “world-class cloud-streaming service” for its games and other content.
The company has made Sony Entertainment Network a core part of its future. Home gaming consoles increasingly share duties with set-top boxes — Nintendo’s Wii U, launched last year, can be used as a universal television remote and has a free app for browsing programs.
The PlayStation 3, which caused deep losses for the company after its launch in 2006, has recovered to become a hit product. Each console was initially sold at a loss to consumers, but they are now profitable. The PS3 contains custom components including the Cell processor, which Sony spent hundreds of millions of dollars developing along with IBM and Toshiba.
Sony’s main rival in consoles, Microsoft, is rumored to be gearing up for the launch of its own next-generation console, the successor to its Xbox 360. Nintendo released its lower-spec Wii U last year. All three are increasingly competing with games on PCs and tablets, as well as new devices from game companies like Steam.
Sony is in the midst of a restructuring after booking a record annual price last fiscal year. The company has stuck to its target for booking a small profit this year, selling off assets including its U.S. headquarters in New York City.

How to stream video to Android device from remote PC
A few days ago I’ve read on Google+ about upcoming version of Plex for Google TV and decided to test it on my Asus Transformer. I was looking for a way to watch movies on a TV screen. Connecting tablet with HDMI cable and using MX Video Player did the trick, but with local files only. DLNA apps and VLC Direct were not very convenient nor reliable.
After installing Plex server on my HTPC and adding folders with movies, TV series and music, I was able to play media on another computer, phone and tablet. Plex automatically downloads the information about media files and presents it very nicely.
It also keeps track of watched videos and maintains playback position. Media files are transcoded if necessary, so no problem with unsupported codecs on Android devices.
The same Plex app can also work as remote for a Plex client running on Mac or PC (server part is also available for Linux and compatible NAS devices).
On the left you can see how Plex looks on a computer screen, very similar to XBMC and other media centers designed to be controlled with a simple remote control. You can also stream content from over 150 popular online video, music and photo sources like Apple Movie Trailers.

I hate Cheyenne, Wyoming. With a passion. I hate every last corner of that city I’ve ever had the misfortune to meet – which is to say I hate Cheyenne’s Greyhound bus station at two o’clock in the morning. Believe you me it’s a dirty, dreary place complete with unsavory characters and unspeakable bathrooms. Cheyenne and I became acquainted during my college years. In those days, the Greyhound from Omaha to Provo was my ticket to school, and the trip always seemed to include a middle-of-the-night layover in Cheyenne.
I think you need to understand my hatred of Cheyenne to fully appreciate what I’m going to say next. There was actually one occasion when I didn’t mind the place so much – because I barely even knew I was there. That was the trip during which I fell in love with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. It happened in the fall of 2002. I’d read The Sorcerer’s Stone a few months earlier and sort of shrugged it off. I wanted The Lord of the Rings, and The Lord of the Rings it was not, but for some reason I still climbed aboard that Greyhound with a copy of The Chamber of Secrets in tow, and then a funny thing happened. I couldn’t put it down.
Not long after that trip, I devoured a copy of The Prisoner of Azkaban. Later I was staying up to the wee hours of the morning with my hair on fire to finish The Goblet of Fire. I was in full-fledged Potter-mania when The Order of the Phoenix came out. You better believe I was at the bookstore at zero dark thirty to pick up my pre-ordered copy before I went off to savor every last page. I was there again at midnight for The Half-Blood Prince. I was married by then, so I read it with Sara, who once famously said of the experience that she mourned far more for a beloved character there than she ever did for Michael Jackson (whose passing several years later was marked by nauseatingly ubiquitous media coverage). With The Deathly Hallows, Sara and I sequestered ourselves in our apartment and read as quickly as we could in a furious attempt to outpace the spoilers. We read so much so fast that I described the feeling afterwards as a Harry Potter hangover, but it was so fun and so worth it.
Then it was over. I’ve never quite had a reading experience like that one. There was – dare I say it? – magic in the anticipation and the journey. Great fiction makes you forget the drudgery of everyday life. That is, I suppose, what all fiction writers are aiming for. Harry Potter did that for me like nothing ever had, and there’s a certain sadness knowing no matter how many times I reread those books I can never quite go home again. Not like that.
But I’ve found a sort of solace of late. Now I’m reading Harry Potter to my kids. We’ve finished the first three books, and we’re currently partway through Goblet of Fire. I’m watching the light in my children’s eyes as their imaginations run wild. I’m hearing them chatter about favorite scenes and characters. They’re speculating about what happens next. They don’t want me to stop reading, I don’t want it to end, and I do believe Cheyenne has never been farther behind me.

Stable Car Monster Truck with Quality Sound Output
When it comes to monster trucks， there is one key element that enhances the overall experience - the sound. A stable car monster truck with quality sound output can turn an ordinary ride into an exhilarating adventure. Whether you're a fan of off-roading or enjoy spectating at monster truck shows， a car monster truck with superior sound can elevate the experience to a whole new level.
The stability of a car monster truck is crucial for both safety and performance. A stable car ensures that every twist， turn， and jump is executed flawlessly， providing a thrilling experience for the driver and spectators alike. A stable monster truck also minimizes the risk of accidents or mishaps， making it a reliable choice for adventurous individuals seeking an adrenaline rush.
Alongside stability， the sound output of a car monster truck is equally important. The roar of the engine， the screeching of the tires， and the reverberation of the exhaust pipe contribute to the overall immersive experience. A quality sound system ensures that these sonic elements are amplified and delivered in their true essence.
A stable car monster truck with quality sound output not only enhances the experience for the driver but also intensifies the excitement for spectators at shows or rallies. The deep rumble of the engine as the monster truck takes off， or the thunderous applause as it jumps and lands gracefully， all become even more compelling with a high-quality sound system.
The sound output is especially important for competitive events such as monster truck races or freestyle competitions. The cheers and applause of the crowd， combined with the intense growl of the engine， create an atmosphere that electrifies the entire venue. A stable car monster truck with quality sound output ensures that audiences feel completely engrossed in the action， amplifying their enjoyment and experience.
Moreover， a stable car monster truck with quality sound output can serve as a beastly and enjoyable road companion. While driving on regular roads， the thunderous sound of the engine and the bass-heavy music can elevate the driver's mood， making every ride an invigorating experience. This provides a unique fusion of the thrilling monster truck experience in an everyday setting.
In conclusion， a stable car monster truck with quality sound output is a must-have for any enthusiast. Not only does it enhance the driving experience， but it also elevates the overall ambiance of monster truck shows and rallies. Whether you're a driver seeking an adrenaline rush or a spectator wanting to feel the excitement， a car monster truck with superior sound is guaranteed to make every moment memorable. So buckle up， turn up the volume， and embark on an adventure like no other with a stable car monster truck that boasts outstanding sound output.

A Wedding Suit for Dorian Gray
From time to time, here at Jack Bunneys we get asked for something that is a little different. Wherever we can help we will certainly try. We created some fantastic and original suits after a unique and unusual request from a customer!
One of my personal favourites was the suit we made for a customer who was getting married in the ICE HOTEL in Sweden.
This customer brought with him a DVD sleeve with a picture of the suit he wanted to wear for his wedding. The DVD was the 2003 movie: The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen starring Sean Connery.
The character our customer would like his suit based upon was the character of Dorian Gray (played by Stuart Townsend). (pictured).
Well we like a challenge!
So we set about renting DVDs and trying to glimpse the suit as carefully as we could, although you never see the suit in its entirety in the movie, we could see enough to begin work.
Between the customer and Peter (our bespoke tailor) they created an interpretation of the suit Dorian Gray wore.
This interpretation also had to be a modern wedding suit, suitable for the Ice Hotel.
I think the pictures show that between the initial enquiry from the customer and the finished article the customer helped create something unique and unusual.
Thank you to Mr and Mrs Porter

Romance writers tend to love Buffy the Vampire Slayer because it’s the only show on TV that gets the dynamics of falling in love right most of the time. Whedon and his writers seem to have an instinct for the messy part of romance, the off-the-wall, over-the-top, why-am-I-doing-this? insanity that makes love such a pain in the neck, whether somebody’s biting you there or not. The reasons for this are many and varied, and all the more telling when the people at Mutant Enemy get it wrong. Watching Buffy is an education in how to write romance.
A look at how Buffy Summers meets and mates gives the first part of the answer as to why Buffy makes the best love on TV. Buffy has had three loves in her seven-year fight against the Hellmouth, and three of these relationships followed the basic psychological progress–assumption, attraction, infatuation, and attachment–which is why they all felt true emotionally, even if some viewers were less than pleased with Buffy’s choices.
The first move in establishing a relationship is assumption, gauging, consciously or unconsciously, if this person is somebody desirable, somebody it is possible to love. Is the object of potential desire physically attractive? Smart? Strong? Funny? These are all clues that the object is genetically a catch, physically and mentally healthy; it’s DNA shrieking “Pick that one, I want to live forever!” Since Sunnydale is populated almost entirely by beautiful, verbal teenagers, this is not a difficult stage for the Scooby Gang, their angst notwithstanding. But Buffy as Mythic Heroine is going to need more than just a knee-jerk jock of the week, so Whedon ushers in Angel, the Heathcliff for the turn-of-the-millennium. He’s strong (he can hold his own with the Slayer), he’s smart (he knows the evil world she must learn in order to fight it), he has a mordant sense of humor (even more effective because Angel is not a happy man), and he’s physically attractive, or as Buffy puts it after she first meets him in “Welcome to the Hellmouth,” “Dark, gorgeous in an annoying kind of way” (Whedon 44).
Once assumption is made, the second stage or Attraction begins, finding out if this is somebody who should be loved. Friends and family play a huge role here, along with physical and emotional connections. Buffy’s peer group sees Angel as attractive (even Xander’s jealousy is backhanded approval since he rates Angel a threat), her mother less so, perversely making him even more desirable because he’s outside the bounds of parental control. Also in the mix are physical cues: he falls into step easily beside her, they fight beside one another in synchronization, and they share long, deep looks (known to the psych trade as copulatory gazes). And then there are the emotional cues: he’s the only one who understands the darkness in her, she’s the only human he’s connected to in two hundred years. Everything is in place for Angel and Buffy to believably fall in love.
But for attraction to turn to infatuation, there have to be physiological cues, joy or pain or both. Joy is physical pleasure or emotional connection, great kisses or moments when eyes meet across a room in perfect understanding. Pain is stress, danger, jealousy, the reason for war romances and office affairs. (There’s a reason there are so many love stories in Sunnydale; it’s Pain Central.) The more of these cues that are present, the faster the relationship will move into the giddiness of immature love. And both joy and pain cues are all over the place in the Buffy-and-Angel story, climaxing in their first kiss, a physical thrill so great it provokes his vampire side, the part of his story he’d forgotten to mention (Greenwalt, “Angel”). The revelation that he’s her destined enemy would be enough to kill infatuation. But something has happened before the reveal: Buffy has moved past immature love to a recognition of who Angel is besides the hottie who loves her. She has moved into mature love.
The question “Is this real love or just infatuation?” misses the point: it’s all infatuation in the beginning, infatuation (or immature love) is the stage everyone passes through on the way to mature love. Erich Fromm in The Art of Loving makes the distinction between the two, pointing out that infatuation is about the person doing the loving, the lover, but true love is about the person who is loved, the object. Infatuation is about conditional love: I love you because of what you do for me, because you’re funny, you’re loving, you’re sexy, you’re smart, you’re not a vampire, etc. But what happens when the object stops being funny and sexy? What happens when he turns into a vampire? “I love you because” is conditional love, based on what the object does for the lover; the “You complete me” statement that sounds good but is really a threat: “Complete me or lose me, it’s all about me.” Mature love, goes beyond that and says that it doesn’t matter whether the object is wonderful or not, the love is just there, like the air we breathe. So Angel vamps and Buffy screams and rejects him, but when she has the opportunity to kill him, fulfilling her destiny as a vampire slayer, she deliberately misses, and Angel saves her from the woman who made him a vampire, symbolically killing his old life to enter a new one with Buffy. Their love is unconditional, the season ends, the love story is finished. Unless, of course, it’s playing out in Sunnydale.
Buffy’s choice to spare Angel in the first season is not based on blindly unconditional love; she has plenty of clues in that story arc that he is on her side. The second season brings the real test: in one of Whedon’s blatant, powerful metaphors, Buffy loses her virginity to a loving, sexually skilled Angel and wakes up with the murderous beast, Angelus. It’s easy to love Angel, he meets all the conditions for it, he completes Buffy. Loving Angelus is the antithesis of that, nobody could rationally love a vicious demon who rapes and murders without compunction. In the same way, it’s easy to love Buffy-the-Savior if you’re Angel, impossible to love her if you’re Angelus.
And yet they still love each other, much to their mutual disgust and despair. Angelus is riddled with love for her, and because of that he is driven to destroy her; as he tells Spike in “Innocence”, “To kill this girl . . . you have to love her” (Whedon). Buffy is stuck, too: she cannot bring herself to kill Angelus until he gives her no choice by opening the portal to hell. But she kills him as a sacrifice to save the world, not as an execution to punish and reject him, something that Whedon makes clear by transforming Angelus into Angel before she strikes (Whedon, “Becoming Part II). When he comes back from hell, tortured for a century until he is only slightly above a beast, he still loves her and saves her instinctively, just as she loves and protects him even though his mind is gone (Noxon, “Beauty and the Beasts”). The power of their love is larger than life not because they’re larger-than-life characters, but because it is implacably and completely unconditional.
Their final act of love is their great sacrifice at the end of the third season. Angel leaves her to free her and Buffy lets him go: He’s protected her until she’s graduated into adulthood, she’s stood by him until he believes in himself again, and now unconditional love recognizes that they have to move on with only the hope of their promise at the end of the series that they’ll be together again some day. It’s brilliant storytelling that gives Whedon the opportunity to move the series to a different level, but it’s also brilliant romance writing, a love story of mythic proportions.
Following that love story was going to be tough in any case, so Whedon pulled his punch and introduced Parker, the embodiment of the dangers of infatuation. Buffy makes the Parker Mistake because she wants to fall in love with a everyday human being more than she wants Parker in the specific. Zipping through the assumption and attraction in a rush to get to normal and loved, Buffy misses the cues that would have told her he was a shallow, not very bright user and pays the price. Parker adds to Buffy’s experience with men, but mostly he serves as foil and foreshadowing for Buffy’s next big romance, Riley Finn.
The assumption phase for this romance is automatic: Riley and Buffy are both beautiful, blond, athletic college students. When they discover in “Hush” that they’re both super-human demon fighters, attraction goes wild, fueled by copulatory gazes over dead demons and hot hand-to-hand combat (Whedon). In fact, combat is the foreplay for their first sexual encounter, one that leads to frequent healthy, sweaty, well-lit intercourse. But a gulf opens between them when Riley discovers that his super-human strength comes from drugs that are killing him, which forces him to return to being just a strong human. If he truly loved Buffy unconditionally, Riley would accept their differences as fact and not as a comment on his inadequacy. Instead, he sees Buffy only in relationship to himself, a reproach to his own lost power, and punishes her by finding sexual solace with the enemy as a vampire addict, a tacit admission that all that safe, bouncy lovemaking is a sham. Buffy fails him just as badly by turning from him when she discovers his addiction, betrayed because he isn’t the hero she needs him to be. Real love is unconditional, and they don’t have it.
There’s also another factor at work: Buffy is no longer a wisecracking teenager by the time the fourth season ends. She’s an adult, increasingly aware that the line between good and evil is more of a smudge, and she knows Riley’s matter-of-fact, Manichean view of the universe is too simplistic. The fifth season codes this in the form of the two men vying for her: Riley the Impossibly Good and Spike the Unspeakably Evil, an ostensibly easy choice. But it slowly becomes evident that while the noble Riley’s love is selfish and conditional, the murderous Spike’s love is without qualification.
At first glance, assumption plays no part in Buffy and Spike’s relationship. They meet as mortal enemies, trying without hesitation to kill one another. But their first interactions are in fact strong cues for assumption, and although she dismisses him as just another vampire, and he sees her as the third notch on his slayer-killing belt, they both surprise each other. He’s much more powerful than she realizes, and she’s much more complex than he can fathom. Adding to the attraction is the fact that from the beginning, their conflict is sexual. In their first real physical confrontation in “School Hard,” he knocks her to the ground and straddles her, saying, “I’ll make it quick. It won’t hurt a bit;” she says, “Wrong. It’s gonna hurt a lot ,” foreshadowing the next five seasons of mutual violence (Whedon and Greenwalt, 50-51). It’s a coded erotic beginning to a complex hate/hate relationship that takes an abrupt turn when Spike is forced to choose between Angelus’s plan for the end of the world and his own enjoyment of life. Stuck between Angelus and Buffy, he chooses her, and starts irrevocably down a path that leads him to unconditional love, not only of Buffy but of life (Whedon, “Becoming, Part II”).
Caught in a dynamic so strong neither can break away, Spike and Buffy continue to ignore what viewers can see plainly: they’re meant for each other. But when Buffy is injured and forced to confront her own mortality, it’s Spike she goes to for answers in “Fool for Love.” When she asks him how he killed two slayers, he gives her the key she doesn’t want. “Every slayer,” he tells her, fixing her with a copulatory gaze, “has a death wish,” and then he rephrases it in sexual terms: “You know you want to dance” (Petrie). It’s in this scene that their erotic attraction becomes clear: They’re tied to each other in a heated, perverse symbiosis that fuses all the elements of attraction: they’re beautiful, strong, smart, funny, and forbidden, and they’re the only two people on the planet who can understand each other. They’re the ultimate aphrodisiac: they know each other to the core.
Swamped by emotion and lust, Spike moves into infatuation much more readily than Buffy because he’s the true romantic, the real fool for love. In that, he’s smarter than Buffy, who keeps trying to fall in love with Good instead of finding a partner who not only understands her but also values her for what she is. Spike might have gone on loving her hopelessly forever except for a major plot move: Buffy dies to save the world. If Spike’s love were immature and conditional, that would finish things, and he’d return to his old life. Instead, he stays in a life that doesn’t fit him, helping her friends and protecting her sister, knowing that he’ll never see her again and still loving her hopelessly. When she claws her way out of the grave, he’s the only one who understands what’s happened, and his calm handling of her crisis is one of the best demonstrations of real love ever filmed. When she asks, “How long was I gone?” and he says, “Hundred and forty-seven days yesterday . . . one forty-eight today,” he speaks volumes about how much he loves her (Espenson, “Afterlife”).
And Buffy knows it. He’s the only one she can trust with the truth about her “rescue,” the only one she can talk to without anger or guilt, the only one who accepts her absolutely. But her love isn’t based on those things; like Spike’s, it’s also unconditional. Although she finally ends their affair, she stands by him through stupid crimes (selling monster eggs?), attempted rape, and insanity, refusing to kill him again and again even though he crosses her moral line, rejecting his offer to leave when it appears that the First Evil plans to work through him, telling him “I’m not ready for you not to be here” (Espenson, “First Date”). Even throughout a very uneven sixth season that swings between brilliant episodes and stories that are appalling world and character violations, Spike and Buffy’s love story stays true because Spike, like Angel before him, loves Buffy unconditionally, sacrifices for her, endures torture for her, almost dies for her, finally does die for her, and much against her will, Buffy reciprocates, risking her life to save him, forgiving him the unforgivable, telling him at the end that she loves him because he’s earned it.
But there’s another dimension to Buffy’s love stories beyond the psychological accuracy, a dimension that makes them even deeper: the ever-present knowledge that while falling in love can be devastating, consummating that love can be lethal. A quick run-down of Love’s Greatest Hits on Buffy shows that love in this world really is a matter of life and death.
Buffy sleeps with Angel who turns into a demon and tries to kill her with a short time-out when they’re possessed by the spirits of a murder-suicide love match (“I Only Have Eyes For You”). When she tries to date within her species, she ends up with an ex-boyfriend to tries to feed her to vampires (“Lie to Me”), a nice guy with a death wish (“Never Kill A Boy on the First Date”), a groping loser who turns into The Creature from the Swim Team (“Go Fish”), and another nice guy whose best friend tries to kill her as Sunnydale’s Dr. Hyde (“Beauty and the Beasts”). After that, she falls for a man whose jealous mentor tries to send her to her death (“The I in Team”) and a vampire who’s tried to kill her so many times he’s practically the Wile E. Coyote of Sunnydale.
Buffy’s friends aren’t doing any better. Willow’s hopeless crush on Xander leads her to accept a stranger’s invitation to a nice walk in the dark and almost gets her killed in “Welcome to the Hellmouth.” After that she gets a crush on an internet pen pal who turns out to be a demon-infested robot (“I Robot, You Jane”), falls in love with a werewolf who tries to rip her apart (“Phases”); and finally finds a haven with Tara, who is shot to death as she’s standing in Willow’s bedroom, making a sexual advance. Or there’s Cordelia Chase, who almost gets vamped by her dance partner (“The Harvest”), dates a fraternity boy who tries to feed her to a giant lizard (“Reptile Boy”), is kidnapped by a Frankenstein football player who wants to cut off her head so they can be together forever, and falls in love with Xander who betrays her which results in her impalement on a rebar (“Lover’s Walk”). Buffy’s family doesn’t fare any better. Her mother has two boyfriends in the entire run of the show (not counting her candy-inspired interlude with Giles on the hood of the police car): a homicidal robot (“Ted”) and the nice guy who sends her flowers the morning she dies (“The Body.”) And Buffy’s little sister Dawn goes on her first date and gets her first kiss from a guy who turns into a vampire, pins her down in the missionary position, and offers to make her immortal, after which she stakes him.
But it’s not just Sunnydale’s women who are mauled by the metaphor. Whedon’s universe offers equal opportunity death to men. Angel is human until a pick-up date named Darla murders him in an alley and makes him a vampire. He manages to make it through the next two hundred years and then meets Buffy, his one true love, who runs a phallic sword through him and sends him to hell. Spike’s story is similar: He meets Drusilla when she finds him weeping in the street after rejection by the woman he loves; she comforts him by making him a vampire. He loves her for the next century until he falls for Buffy as someone even more lethal than Dru, dying spectacularly in the series finale to save her and defeat his kind. Giles, Buffy’s watcher, falls in love with a fellow teacher and then, on the night they plan to consummate their love, finds her dead in his bed (“Passion”). But the real champ in the Sex-Is-Death sweepstakes is Xander, who ignores non-lethal and therefore non-sexual Willow to lust after a substitute teacher who invites him to her house for a study date and turns into a praying mantis (“Teacher’s Pet”), an undead exchange student whose kiss causes death (“Inca Mummy Girl”), and Cordelia who wishes him into an alternate universe where he’s a vampire staked by Buffy (“The Wish”). When he tries to be proactive and use magic to make things work, hordes of women attack him, ready to love him to death (“Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered”). He loses his virginity to deviant slayer Faith who tries to strangle him when he comes back for seconds, and proposes to Anya the vengeance demon who does her best to eviscerate him by proxy when he leaves her at the altar. Then his rebound date strings him up above an ancient symbol and penetrates his abdomen with a spear so that his blood will unleash the undead (“First Dates”).
Still, the most interesting sex-as-pain-and-death relationship in this series is Buffy and Spike. Their frequent physical fights grow more and more sexual, so that when Spike finally tells Buffy he loves her, and she tries to track back to where she went wrong, she decides it’s the pain: “I do beat him up a lot. For him, that’s like third base” (Fury, “Crush” ). The foreplay for their first sexual encounter is a knock-down fight, during which Spike tells her, “I wasn’t planning to hurt you. Much,” right before she hits him and then kisses him and then hits him again (Greenberg, “Smashed). It’s important that Buffy doesn’t sleep with Spike until she knows the prophylactic chip in his head does not work for her because it means that in the heated proximity of the rough sex they become addicted to, they’re both easy to kill, each knowing that the little death of orgasm can, at any moment, change from symbol to reality, and the fact that the sex is violent simulates this. They’re miming death over and over again, practicing the moment they both assume they’re hurtling toward, the moment they fulfill their roles as vampire slayer and slayer assassin. That erotic risk coupled with their repeated demonstrations of unconditional love makes their twisted relationship one of the most powerful ever written, a fitting climax to a series in which “dying for a kiss” isn’t just a figure of speech, at least not for Spike.
But Whedon’s greatest love story doesn’t stop there. He takes it down another layer, to the metaphor that fuels the series and raises the romances of Buffy to the level of myth: Buffy as the slayer is unconditionally, inextricably, erotically tied to Death.
Angel’s transformation into a vampire after their first kiss in the first season is the only incident in the series in which sexual arousal is directly linked to becoming the monster, but it ties into the long tradition of oral eroticism that the vampire story has represented since Stoker’s Dracula. Buffy screams when confronted with the truth, but it’s a truth that she needs to face. She can’t remain an innocent and save the world, too, just as she can’t remain sexually innocent and become a mature woman. That metaphor is reinforced when she makes love with Angel for the first time and wakes up with Angelus, a move that at first glance seems only to symbolize “all men are beasts,” but comes to mean that all lovers are dangerous when Buffy proves to be just as lethal as Angelus. When Buffy refuses to destroy Angelus, she protects death; when she sacrifices Angel to save the world, she sacrifices love.
The power of this metaphor also explains Buffy’s failed relationship with Riley. Yes, their love is conditional, but what really undercuts their relationship is a much deeper failing: Riley is the wrong metaphor. As the corn-fed farm boy, Riley represents the Beautiful American, light and peace and wholesomeness, and Buffy wants to connect to him because she wants to be Good’s Girlfriend. But the relationship feels wrong: Riley wears a milk mustache while Buffy’s hands drip blood. His appreciation of her as the Slayer seems to stem from the fact that she’s really athletic and great at covert ops, just like one of the guys. He never seems to understand what Angel and Spike know instinctively, that Buffy has a heart of darkness. As Buffy comes to understand this herself, the series darkens but it also deepens, becoming much richer as each season adds more layers to the metaphor so that in the last three seasons, Whedon connects directly with this paradox at the core of Buffy, the complexity that made the series so irresistible from the beginning: Our savior is a murderess, and she’s infatuated with Death.
The clearest embodiment of that is her relationship with Spike. Everything in their interactions reeks of sex and death, from the moment in “Fool for Love” when Spike tells her that he’s waiting for her to get tired of the struggle and come to him to be taken. He looms over her, phallic pool cue in hand, whispering in her ear that all he needs to get her is “One. Good. Day,” and becomes the symbol that eroticizes Buffy’s dark side (Petrie). This makes it all the more perplexing that the Mutant Enemy writers see their relationship as one-sided and harmful. In what was evidently one of the great botched metaphors in the history of storytelling, Buffy and Spike consummate their relationship and demolish a derelict mansion in their throes. Houses are a common symbol for people in stories (think of Roderick Usher’s mansion in “The Fall of the House of Usher” or Emily’s decaying home in Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”) and this one seems to clearly represent Buffy’s once rich but now derelict past life. She has died in one life and been resurrected into a new one, but she’s clinging to the past, living in the decaying shell of her former existence, an old life must be rejected before she can live fully in the new world. When she embraces Spike, she embraces the dark side of her destiny, an adult rejection of the simplistic good/evil universe of her childhood, freeing herself to move into the future and defeat the worst enemy of all, the First Evil. Their consummation takes them to their deepest levels, both symbolically and literally as they fall into the basement, and leaves Buffy standing in a shaft of light in the morning, reborn. As metaphoric scenes go, it’s one of the most powerful in the history of the series.
Except that’s evidently not what the writers had in mind, since they insisted in interviews that the wreck symbolized the relationship as a bad choice. If Spike and Buffy wreck her cheery little bungalow home, that’s bad. If they dismantle a church, that’s bad. If they demolish a deserted, derelict mansion, that’s urban renewal. The continued insistence throughout Season Six that this relationship is wrong, unhealthy, symbolic of something evil and immoral is not only inexplicable but annoying, which is probably why so many viewers are unhappy with the direction the series takes in the sixth season: they were reading a different metaphor than the writers intended.
But in the seventh season, Whedon brings the story back to its roots by taking it down one more metaphoric layer, to the beginning of his myth. In “Get It Done“, Buffy travels back to the beginning of the Slayers and discovers that the first Slayer was created when a council of men chained a helpless girl to be raped by a demon in order to imbue her with supernatural powers that would protect them. The concept of the slayer has always been a violation of free will, from very first episode in which Buffy is forced back to her role as Slayer against her wishes to the last season populated by bewildered and frightened Potentials who would rather just go home. In “Get It Done,” the image of a chained Buffy penetrated both orally and vaginally by the creeping black vapor of the demon, symbolizes this violation at the center of the myth, the rape of free will that every slayer represents. As defined by the council, the creation of the Slayer was a violent sexual sacrifice to death, a sacrifice that is destined to be repeated in every generation.
But the myth of Buffy the Vampire Slayer has never been the myth of the Slayer; it’s the myth of Buffy Summers, the Slayer who is different. Instead of obeying and dying like her predecessors, season after season, she has rejected the male power hierarchies that have tried to control her. She defies Giles in the first season and makes him treat her as a partner in decision making. She fires the council in season three, and when they come back for season five, she defeats them and forces them to work for her. In season seven, she goes back to the beginning and defies the original council, resetting the power structure at the heart of myth and taking back her story, and refusing the rape and its sexual-submission-as-power ploy, saying “You think I came all this way to get knocked up by some demon dust?” (Petrie, “Get It Done”). She is the Slayer who is different, the lover who embraces death on her own terms, the blonde who goes into the alley and comes back with patriarchy’s head, and she does it, not as a virginal, powerless Joan of Arc (even if she wistfully christens herself “Joan” in “Tabula Rasa), but as a fiercely sexual, passionate woman who knows exactly what she’s doing when she opens her arms to darkness.
In a world where any attempt to find connection results in pain and death, love is an act of unbelievable courage. That Buffy the Vampire Slayer explores that dangerous act in so many forms on so many levels through so many characters is the most compelling aspect of the series. But first among equals, it is Buffy in her passion and in her blazing, defiant sexuality that most defines the myth, Buffy the great feminist icon as warrior, lover, and finally mature woman. She’s our Ishtar who aced the SATs, our Morrigan with a snarky sense of humor, our Kali with a better fashion sense, and the complexity of her myth, the depth of her metaphor, and the truth of her love stories makes her a great romantic heroine and Buffy the Vampire Slayer one of the great romances of our time.

Smooth. Jazzy. Worshipful.
It’s poetic and encouraging. Marcia Brackett successfully blends the smooth sounds of contemporary jazz melodies with silky smooth vocals in songs and spoken word for a masterfully created first CD. She artfully balances the old with the new for an enjoyable listening experience across demographics. From start to finish the music is soothing; you will relax but you will not go to sleep. I guarantee you that you will want to stay awake to listen to every word in every song. They are that captivating.
The songs I Give You My All, Forgive Me Lord and I Cry Out are prayerful and reflective. They take you into that secret place where you want to be alone with the Lord to have that one on one intimacy. The only instrument on I Cry Out is the piano. This provides a raw, honest and open worship experience. If you have ever had to cry out to God for any reason, if you have ever needed to feel Him near, you will appreciate this song. Another single instrument track that I found to be soulfully poignant is The Greatest Thing. This one is done with only an organ, giving it a nice Sunday morning feel.
It is difficult to decide which is my favourite track on the disc. Whenever I choose one, I hear another one which could be and so I conclude that all the tracks are my favourite. No exaggeration. I love the lyrics, the melodies, her voice and the backing music. It is the complete smooth jazz experience. Your Love, Rain and Russian Roulette are three of my modern favourites. As someone who loves the rain, I can picture myself listening and writing to this during a nice, light rain shower, or even a heavy downpour. I would be in my zone. The rock guitar in Russian Roulette gives it a hard edginess but the subdued funkiness of the track chips the edge right off and leaves that certain element of smooth.
Strange Fruit is another one that grabbed me early on. The name of the song reminds me of Billie Holiday, as she also did a jazz song way back when with the same name. When I heard the intro I thought I was going to hear Anita Baker’s Been Too Long, but they threw me off then pulled me back with something sweet and brand new. Very smooth. The Outro also has that Anita Baker feel to it.
The CD is a good listen and I recommend it. Some of these tracks are available for listening on YouTube. Or visit the Jazz D’Vine page on Facebook. We have added a couple of them there. I hope your listening experience will be as enjoyable as mine was.

“Illustrators, lets do it again. We’re looking for an illustrator who can draw awesome, quasi-retro robots for a fun book. Let me know.” -Giuseppe Castellano ( @pinocastellano )
Responding to this tweet was what started my adventure into the picture book world and ended with one of my favorite illustration projects of all time: the Robot Workshop activity book with Penguin Publishing.
There simply aren't enough words to express how thankful I am to have been able to contribute to this one. Working on a book which allows kids to draw on the pages was so much fun for me. My goal was to try and squeeze in as much detail as I could so kids would have fun getting lost in and drawing on top of this world. I hope they enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
My deepest thanks to Giuseppe Castellano. It was a dream come true working with him, and I hope lightning strikes twice and we get to do it again!
Now, onto the art!

In recent years, competitive gaming, commonly known as esports, has witnessed an unprecedented surge in popularity, transforming from a niche subculture to a global phenomenon. Esports has become a cultural and economic force, captivating audiences, and offering professional opportunities for skilled gamers. This deep dive explores the factors contributing to the rise of esports, its evolution, and the impact it has had on the gaming industry and mainstream entertainment.
Historical Roots of Esports
The roots of esports can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s when competitive gaming took shape in arcades and local tournaments. Early titles like Space Invaders and Pac-Man set the stage for competitive play. As technology advanced, multiplayer games like Doom and Quake laid the foundation for the esports culture we know today.
Proliferation of Online Gaming
The advent of high-speed internet and online gaming platforms facilitated the growth of competitive gaming. With the ability to connect players globally, the online multiplayer game qqmobil became the battleground for skilled competitors. Titles like Counter-Strike, StarCraft, and later, League of Legends and Dota 2, gained prominence, paving the way for organized esports leagues.
Formation of Professional Leagues and Tournaments
The 21st century marked the establishment of professional esports leagues and tournaments. Organizations like the Electronic Sports League (ESL) and Major League Gaming (MLG) became pioneers in organizing competitive events. The introduction of significant prize pools attracted attention, validating esports as a viable career path for dedicated gamers.
Diversification of Esports Genres
Esports is not limited to a specific genre; it encompasses a diverse range of games, including first-person shooters, real-time strategy, multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA), and sports simulations. This diversity has broadened the appeal of esports, attracting audiences with varying gaming preferences.
Globalization and Mainstream Recognition
Esports transcended cultural and geographical boundaries, gaining recognition on a global scale. Major tournaments and leagues attracted massive viewership, both online and in-person. Esports events filled arenas, and championships began to receive mainstream media coverage, further solidifying the legitimacy and cultural impact of competitive gaming.
Rise of Streaming Platforms
The advent of streaming platforms, particularly Twitch, revolutionized the way fans engage with esports. Gamers could now watch their favorite players and teams in real time, fostering a sense of community. Streaming platforms provided an avenue for players to connect with their audience, creating a more intimate and interactive experience.
Investments and Sponsorships
As esports gained traction, investments from traditional sports organizations, celebrities, and tech giants flooded the industry. Franchise-based leagues, such as the Overwatch League and the League of Legends Championship Series, adopted structures similar to traditional sports, attracting significant sponsorships and media rights deals.
Professionalization of Esports Athletes
Esports athletes transitioned from passionate gamers to dedicated professionals. Training facilities, coaching staff, and sports psychologists became integral parts of esports organizations. The demand for skilled players led to the rise of player contracts, endorsements, and a competitive ecosystem that mirrors traditional sports.
Integration into Education
Esports made its way into educational institutions, with universities offering scholarships for talented gamers. Collegiate esports leagues and tournaments emerged, providing a structured pathway for aspiring players to pursue their passion while obtaining an education.
The Future of Esports: Technology and Inclusion
Looking ahead, the future of esports is shaped by technological advancements such as virtual reality, augmented reality, and 5G connectivity. These innovations promise to enhance the viewer experience and provide new dimensions to competitive gaming. Additionally, the industry is actively addressing inclusivity and diversity, with efforts to provide opportunities for underrepresented groups in esports.
The rise of esports represents a remarkable journey from grassroots competitions to a multi-billion-dollar industry with a global fan base. Competitive gaming has not only redefined entertainment but has also created new avenues for professional athletes, content creators, and businesses. As esports continues to evolve, its impact on mainstream culture and the entertainment landscape is undeniable, cementing its status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of sports and gaming.

Downtown Santa Cruz is a unique and wonderful place, whatever it is that everyone loves about Downtown Santa Cruz, it’s hard to argue that the people are what make it so special. The people who live, work and play here all make up a shared experience that really does make our Downtown unique and wonderful.
One would tell you that the mix of over 100 one-of-a-kind shops with many of the big name stores you know and love, makes for one of the most exciting shopping experiences anywhere.
Of course with dozens of outstanding restaurants, each expressing its own interpretation of the best combined agricultural and fishing region in the world, one could argue that the food and wine is the main draw.
But don’t forget about the world class music scene, with more amazing sub genres than you ever knew existed. A nod must go to the wealth of local artists showcased throughout Downtown each month as part of the First Friday Art tour.

There are those that say that our generation has forgotten how to wait. Insta-everything and Uber-your-hearts-desires are great for distraction and convenience, but not so good for practicing delayed gratification.
However, to be reminded of the joy of the journey, we only have to see the building excitement of a child who is counting down to Christmas.
As adults, we can learn a lot from our kids about the forgotten thrill of anticipation. So, this Christmas Eve, join in! Celebrate the waiting, the journey, the pause before the big event by celebrating Christmas Eve with these simple ideas.
1. Christmas Eve in Iceland - Take a leaf our of Iceland's Christmas Eve playbook , and exchange books on Christmas Eve. Spend the evening reading them, and eating chocolate!
2. Christmas Eve Box: Wrap up a new pair of pyjamas, some popcorn, and a Christmas movie! Snuggle up together on the couch, and enjoy a classic Christmas flick.
3. Midnight Mass or Christmas Eve service: Many communities gather together at their local church for a Christmas Eve service, and
4. Christmas carols: Set the Christmas lights to twinkle and sing and dance together around the Christmas tree.
5. Leave out something for Santa and his reindeer: Milk, cookies, carrots. They could even create their own reindeer blend by punching holes out of leaves.

Wild on the Fly Shoot - Outdoor Channel
We are excited to be collaborating with The Outdoor Channel's Wild on the Fly TV program at Sailfish Bay in February. We will be targeting sailfish on fly rods for several days. The show will air in March 2011 and we will provide more details to everyone when we have exact dates for the show with Sailfish Bay.
The Saturday morning TV fishing show debuted January 1, 2011 on the Outdoor Channel – a stunning 13-episode high-definition series of sensational angling adventures around the world. Every production is un-staged and genuine, a little bit edgy and frequently humorous, and always rich in culture, lore, food, scenery, wildlife, critical conservation and of course, cutting-edge fishing.
"Truly great fishing trips are as much about the travel as the angling," explains Executive Producer Joseph Daniel. "While each of our shows will definitely inspire you with amazing fly fishing, they will also immerse you in everything from culture to cuisine to conservation. Think of Wild on The Fly as a crazy blend of the Outdoor Channel, Food Network and Discovery."
An exciting new episode of Wild On The Fly will air three times each week January through March at 9:00am Thursday, 6:00pm Friday, and 1:30pm Saturday (EST) – featuring episodes from Alaska to Argentina, Mexico to Mongolia. The series premiered New Year's Day on the renowned waters of Missoula, Montana, and includes a special segment on the restoration of the Clark Fork River.
Mention in the USA Today travel blog about the show:

His first major break-through came with the movie In Harihar Nagar in which he acted as one of those four heroes - along with Mukesh, Jagadeesh, and Asokan the other three. The dual director Siddique - Lal pair's film was a huge success and one of the top hits of that time. Since then actor Siddique became an essential part for comedy movies. The trio formed by Siddique, Mukesh and Jagadeesh was later on became an inevitable ingredient for comedy films. Some of the top movies include Manthrikacheppu (1992), Simhavalan Menon, Kasargode Khadarbhai (1992), Thiruthalvadi (1992), Mughamudra (1992), Kunukkitta Kozhi (1992), Mookkillarajyathu (1991), Mimics Parade, Grihapravesam, Welcome to Kodaikanal, Kavadiyattam, KaattilethadiTheverude Aana, Marupuram, Vaarafalam, Mughachithram and Kinnaripuzhayoram. He also paired with top heroines including Parvathy, Shobana, Sunitha, Mathu and Suchithra. Later on he appeared in many negative roles, an unlikely-thing for a once-hero actor. Over the past three decades Siddique has proved that he is a perfect actor whose range has no limits.

Frost Like Night
by Sara Raasch
Publisher - Balzer + Bray
Category - General Novel
Game of Thrones meets Graceling in this action-packed fantasy—the highly anticipated final book in the New York Times bestselling Snow Like Ashes series by Sara Raasch. Perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading—and no one is safe.
Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic—so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, Meira jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the very magic she’s learning to control—and make the biggest sacrifice of all.
Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira—and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their ranks, winning the war—and protecting Meira—slips farther and farther out of reach.
Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she’s freed by an unexpected ally who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer’s slave trade, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.
As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together…or lose everything.

A night filled with Hawaiian Themed Festivities, starting with a Hawaiian themed bar crawl, leading into an after party at Elan featuring local musical artists and a special performance by Zach Deputy!
$20 per person
Touring throughout most of his career as a headlining one man show, Zach creates an unprecedented live experience. His thrilling live show showcases his raw and uncut vibe with absolutely nothing prerecorded. Combining his family roots island vibe with his low country southern soul, Zach’s music emerges as a therapeutic experience that strives to remind people of the mere joy of being alive.
Tickets include free cover to the show and after party as well drink specials at each of the following locations:
Tickets also include bar crawl themed koozies, lei's, a hangover patch, a bar crawl scorecard and for the first 50 people who complete their scorecard will receive a free event t-shirt.
Drinking is 100% optional! Although this is a "bar crawl", that doesn't mean you are required to drink to participate. You do not have to purchase drinks at any bar in order to participate, get your scorecard stamped AND earn your "Bar Crawl" t-shirt. SHIRTS LIMITED TO THE FIRST 50 PEOPLE WHO COMPLETE THEIR SCORECARDS. If you do choose to drink, please drink responsibly.
Participants meet at their starting bar and at their own pace slowly move through their list of participating bars. Each bar has an incredible list of drink specials that are only available to those participating. Along the way, meet other patrons through the crawl while collecting lots of bar crawl themed swag. Once you've checked-in with each of the bars off your list, race on down to the after party to pick up your t-shirt!
To have fun! Complete your scorecard by visiting each participating bar and be one of the first crawlers to receive a t-shirt. As you enter the venue, the doorman or bartender will “mark” their respective bar’s section of your scorecard. You do not have to purchase a drink to have your scorecard marked. We've hand selected some of the best destinations this town has to offer, giving you a fully packed and inclusive experience with a great community of people.
Come with a group of friends or crawl alone and meet some of the awesome people this community has to offer. Whether you're new to the area, just visiting or have lived here your entire life, we have something for everyone! The after party might seem like the end, but that's where the real fun happens! Stick around and share your experience with others.
