Praise for the Graven series: ' Exceptional. For the last time, Caiden and his makeshift family must carry the fate of all the worlds in their hands. And Caiden must weigh his final choices against a new risk: if he finally unlocks the ancient Graven abilities lying dormant in his genetics and saves the multiverse, he risks losing himself to the whispers - just as Abriss has. As Abriss's strength grows, her sanity wanes under the burden of the universe's whispers. And she still wants to collapse their beautiful, diverse, constellation of multiverses down to one, growing more powerful and more ruthless with each unique universe she destroys. Threi's sister Abriss is still the most powerful being in existence. Caiden has finally been reunited with his sister Leta after ten years on the run with his unique starship, and has managed to convince his longtime enemy - Threi - to join his side. In the final book of this genre-breaking, roller coaster of a space opera trilogy, bold new voice Essa Hansen will stretch the limits of your imagination in this adventure perfect for fans of The Expanse and A Long Way to a Small Angry Planet. Principally of interest to kids whose parents fearlessly brave the PG-13 rating, “Dragonheart” will also please lovers of ancient ruins and richly orchestrated Scotch-Irish airs. Peasant revolts against wicked kings open and close this excursion to medieval England, which might be called “Monty Python and the Politically Correct Flying Loch Ness Monster.” There is no love story to speak of, just some spectacular fun and games for Quaid’s hirsute Bowen and Connery’s scaly, sometimes out-of-scale Draco. The plot concocted by Patrick Read Johnson and Charles Edward Pogue for Rob Cohen’s tale of the 10th century mixes together a bit of Robin Hood with some odd-couplemale bonding between a free- lance knight played by Dennis Quaid and a huge, fire-snorting flying reptile voiced by Sean Connery. Though it brims with technical wizardry, “Dragonheart” has the brains of a salamander when it comes to storytelling. **** Excellent *** Very Good ** Good * Fair * Poor It received numerous accolades and awards, was named the best film of the year by various critics and publications, appeared on many best-of-the-decade lists, and was ranked 61st on the BBC's 100 Greatest Films of the 21st Century list. Under the Skin was acclaimed for Johansson's performance, Glazer's direction, and Mica Levi's score. Most of the cast had no acting experience, and many scenes were filmed with hidden cameras. He and Campbell pared it back from an elaborate, special effects-heavy concept to a sparse story focusing on an alien perspective on the human world. Glazer developed Under the Skin for over a decade. It was released in the United Kingdom on 14 March 2014, North America on 4 April 2014, Switzerland on 23 July 2014, and worldwide on 10 August 2014. The film premiered at Telluride Film Festival on 29 August 2013. It stars Scarlett Johansson as an otherworldly woman who preys on men in Scotland.

I do keep some garden “frost blankets” on hand in case of need. Our cold spells are rarely so cold that outside plants are actually threatened, as long as one takes some simple measures. I also clustered pots on the ground together as a small measure of protection. I’m thankful that we were able to get some needed masonry done in our garden before the cold temperatures and precipitation and I was able to run around and add mulch to the root zone of some precious plants. Today is Friday, January 21, and we had snow a few days ago! It didn’t last beyond one day and night, but it was so pretty while it was falling. In fragrance as in life, your mileage may vary! YMMV. This is meant to be a kind space, so please try not to give or take offense, and let’s all agree to disagree when opinions differ. The perennial theme is fragrance, but we can interpret that broadly. Welcome back to the weekly Perfume Chat Room, perfumistas! I envision this chat room as a weekly drop-in spot online, where readers may ask questions, suggest fragrances, tell others their SOTD, comment on new releases or old favorites, and respond to each other. Yet that is precisely what Tim Loughton, Conservative MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, and Carolyn Harris, Labour MP for Swansea East are doing if you compare their proposals with official figures supplied by the Department for Work and Pensions of the demographic breakdown of the women affected. One would expect Guy Opperman, the pensions minister, and Therese Coffey, the secretary of state for work and pensions, who have good pensions themselves, not to be bothered.īut one would not expect the two MPs who head the All Party Parliamentary Group on State Pension Inequality to be in the vanguard of depriving millions of 1950s born women getting any money at all. One would expect the Department for Work and Pensions to fight not to pay 3.8 million women born in the 1950s any money for lost pensions. Carolyn Harris MP : Official Parliamentary photograph Somewhat of an introvert and unquestionably a perfectionist, Coltrane reportedly went so far as to work his way through Nicholas Slonimsky's massive Thesaurus of Scales and Melodic Patterns. Coltrane's career can perhaps best be viewed as a struggle against the limits of conventional jazz improvisation, and also ultimately against the limitations of conventional saxophone technique. If you're totally unfamiliar with Coltrane's A Love Supreme, or know it only by name, some introduction is in order. If you are a jazz fan-or if you want to begin an in-depth exploration of jazz-this book is a must-read. Even if you're not a jazz fan, there's a lot to be said for at least sampling from the book, in the interest of cultural literacy. This is the definitive book about one of the most important jazz albums. However, A Love Supreme, saxophonist John Coltrane's 1965 concept album with his "classic" quartet (McCoy Tyner, piano Jimmy Garrison, bass Elvin Jones, drums), is one of the handful of recordings important enough to merit such extensive attention. Writing an entire book about just one record-especially one that clocks in at just 32:47-might seem a questionable proposition at best. New York, Viking Books, 2002 hardcover, 260 pages, 9" by 8".

That was the best decision I made that day! The post made me seek out the book, and then the blurb insisted that I read it straightaway. Triggers include: on-page descriptive (non-erotic) rape, and stalking.įorrest's #Win was a spur of the moment read instigated by a post on a Facebook group.

I should have done anything other than what I did. I should have vetted his hook-up before I let him go off by himself. I’ve never had any problem with any dating app, why would I expect one now? When he asks me to put a hook-up in his schedule, I take care of it. He lives and works by his schedule, and I keep it for him. I didn’t know until I met Forrest how good a structured life could be. I don’t know how I’ll ever recover, but I know I can’t do it without Blake. We didn’t expect a rendezvous for sex would turn into a nightmare. I have no qualms asking him to help me find a casual hook-up so I can explore my preferences. I trust him completely because Blake never lies to me. Since then, Blake has become my best and closest friend. I knew I’d hired the right person immediately. The first person to respond showed up at my door with everything he owned and never left. Half a year ago I put out a want ad for a PA. Which can be discomfiting and a little scary. All of us have light and darkness within us. Possibly it’s less complicated to see everything as simply good or negative, with no shades of grey in between? Possibly that’s why we stay in a culture that has expanded significantly unforgiving when individuals make errors or are viewed as less than ideal? What I like about this series by Penelope Douglas is that she faces the reality: individuals are complicated.
