Woman Goes $10,000 In Debt Trying To Become Instagram Star
Doin' it for the 'gram is one thing, but dammit it's gone too far!
According to NYPost 26-year-old Lissette Calveiro is admittedly in $10,000 in debt after spending stacks on trying to become Instagram's biggest star.
Calveiro moved to New York from Miami in 2013 and claims she was living the "Sex and the City dream" while working a, wait for it…internship and PART-TIME job.
Despite her limited funds, Lissette was going on extravagant vacations, shopping sprees and monthly memberships to luxury goods.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BeEcDOAlo5L/?taken-by=lissettecalv (Travel)
"I wanted to tell my story about this young millennial living in New York," Calveiro, who has more than 12,000 followers on Instagram, told The Post. "I was shopping . . . for clothes to take 'the perfect 'gram.' "
Even after New York ate her up and spit her back out to Miami, she was STILL doin' it for the 'gram.
"I was living a lie," she said. Although she was earning in the low to mid-five figures, "Debt was looming over my head."
That lie became difficult to maintain…
"Snapchat had these [geo-]filters [like digital passport stamps] and I wanted to collect at least 12," Calveiro said.
Although she traveled some for work, Calveiro said, "If you break it down, a lot of the travel I was doing in 2016 was strictly for Instagram."
Eventually she paid off her debts, but still, the moral of the story: don't be Lissette.

The last
time Yulen spoke to her, Atty was heading east, along
with Fortune Kalich and several other hunters. With the latest onslaught of Bloods gone, so was
the game, until there was little left to hunt to feed
the growing population of Alta Novis. Since very few
hunters went east, they figured it might yield good results. She planned to be gone
four or five days at the most, a week tops,
and promised to return with good news.
That was, until Fortune returned without Atty.
Worried and frightened, the Battle Lord,
along with a handful of volunteers, go in search of
the Battle Lady. They
pray they'll find her alive. Either way, they are determined not to return to the compound without
knowing the truth.
What they discover will change their world forever.

An exclusive Northumberland estate is set to open its doors to the public as part of a second charity event owners have agreed to this year.
Blagdon Estate, near Stannington, will be opening its gardens on Sunday to raise money for the North East charity St Oswald's Hospice.
It comes after North of England Children's Cancer Research (NECCR) announced Viscount Matthew Ridley will be allowing 500 fundraisers to take a walk through woodland on the estate never before opened to the public.
The charity's Children's Cancer Walk on September 21 and will be led by revered author Bill Bryson, who is a patron of the NECCR. But this Sunday, for the St Oswald's Hospice event, the estate will be open from noon to 4.30pm and guests will be treated to an afternoon of family friendly outdoor entertainment.

The estate has been owned by the same family since 1700 with the viscounts being named Matthew for more than 300 years. Lyn Cain, fundraiser at St Oswald's said: "The open garden event will be a wonderful family day out, with plenty on offer for people of all ages.
"We are extremely grateful to the Blagdon Estate for holding the open garden event in order to help us raise money for the hospice.
"We need to raise £6.5m each year to continue caring for adults, young people and children across the North East."
Tickets cost £3.50 and children under 10 go free. For more information contact the fundraising team on 0191 246 9123.

By Rick V., Team Titleist Staff
Rick V., Team Titleist StaffDuxbury, MA
Hi, everybody.
What a busy winter it's been for the Titleist Gear team. A new Green Out Collection, new Custom Gear options, not to mention brand new additions to the Titleist Hat and Golf Bag lineups!
Speaking of which, have you had a chance to check out the new 2019 Players Collection and Hybrid golf bags that we launched on February 1st? Our design team worked closely with Team Titleist members to develop these new products and they're very eager to hear your thoughts on the final results.
Please hit "reply" and share your feedback if you're gaming a new Players 4, Players 4 Plus, Players 4 StaDry, Hybrid 14 or Hybrid 5 golf bag.
• • •
We wanted to dive deeper into the new models, so we sat down with Sean Slater, Golf Gear Product Manager for Titleist, who told us about the creation and inspiration behind the new Hybrid and Players Collection bags, starting with the Players 4 Plus stand bag. (Check out the video above for an overview of Players 4 Plus features and benefits.)
TT: Please share the story behind the new Players Collection stand bags.
SEAN SLATER: When we set out to develop the Players Collection, we did a lot of research with Team Titleist members and other dedicated golfers who walk most of their rounds. There is definitely a trend towards smaller, lighter weight bags and our initial focus was to develop a lightweight bag without sacrificing durability or storage. What we discovered, through working with golfers, was that there was not a one-size-fits-all solution for lightweight bags. We realized we had to take it one step further to ensure we had a lightweight solution for different types of players.
Our response to that design challenge is a collection of three stand bags, the Players 4, Players 4 Plus and our Players 4 StaDry, which features our waterproof materials and seam-sealed construction. All three models feature a 4-way top cuff divider for club organization, which is why we use the number "4" in each model name.
TT: Let's talk about the Players 4 Plus stand bag. What type of player did you design this bag for?
SS: During golfer research, we came across a lot of players who were looking for a slightly larger bag. These players may carry a few extra items in their bag and can benefit from slightly larger storage pockets. Or, they may appreciate a larger top cuff opening when they're pulling or returning their clubs from the bag. That's where the idea for the Players 4 Plus came from.
TT: How much bigger is the Players 4 Plus than the Players 4?
SS: When we were creating the Players 4 Plus, we took many of the lightweight elements from the Players 4 and were able to include some additional size and storage. The Players 4 Plus offers about 7% more storage than Players 4. The top cuff is 9% larger. But the bag is still very light and easy to carry - only 4.3 pounds compared to 3.8 pounds for the ultralight Players 4.
TT: Finally, are there any other features or improvements that were inspired by the feedback you received from Team Titleist members and dedicated golfers?
SS: There are several new features in the Players Collection that evolved, thanks to the player feedback we received, throughout the testing and development process. For example, all of our Players Collection bags feature a full length apparel pocket. This was a result from feedback we received from many of our testers. The full length pocket provided them with more usable space when walking and a preferred traditional style.
We've also improved our hardware by using a new, intuitive clip system made from an ultra-durable material - similar to what you might find on a backpack. Golfers also told us that they preferred prototype bag models that used thicker padding in the carry straps. So, all Players Collection bags are now outfitted with redesigned dual density bag strap padding. The new padding system provides additional comfort and lasts longer than some traditional foams or pads that are used in the market.
So yes, golfers have been a huge help from our early conceptions all the way to the final Players Collection designs. And chief among those golfers are the many Team Titleist members who shared their experiences and provided feedback throughout the process. Our goal is to make the highest quality and best performing golf bags in the industry. At Titleist, we are lucky to have a community of golfing experts who help guide us toward that goal. A big thank you to them from the Titleist Gear Team!
Thanks, Sean!
Check back soon as we'll be shining the spotlight on additional new Hybrid and Players Collection stand bags.

Cassini flew close by Dione on December 12 and, as usual, the close pass provided opportunities for lots of dramatic photos, not just of Dione, but of other moons wandering by in the background.
Emily Lakdawalla • December 12, 2011
Images from the Cassini spacecraft's flyby of Dione.
Emily Lakdawalla • October 31, 2011
Last month I posted a preliminary version of a slide I was working on for use in my public presentations, a slide that contains everything in the solar system bigger than 400 kilometers across, and invited comment. I've listened to all of your comments and corrections and come up with a second version.
Emily Lakdawalla • October 20, 2011
Cassini has completed two very close flybys of Enceladus in less than three weeks, one of them just this morning, and the images from that encounter have already arrived on Earth.
Emily Lakdawalla • September 28, 2011
Since Cassini currently orbits Saturn within the plane of Saturn's rings, it has lots of chances to catch two or more moons in the same photo. One such "mutual event" happened on September 17, featuring four moons: Titan, Dione, Pan, and Pandora.
Emily Lakdawalla • August 30, 2011
It's always awe-inspiring to see our great world as just a tiny spot within vast space. The latest spacecraft to get such a view of Earth and the Moon is the Jupiter-bound Juno.
Emily Lakdawalla • April 13, 2011
I've got some lovely pictures from Saturn to show you! Every three months, the Cassini mission dumps gigabytes worth of precious Saturn data into the Planetary Data System, and the latest gift came on April 1. This particular pile of data, which was taken between April 1 and June 30, 2010, contains a lot of really terrific moon observations.
Emily Lakdawalla • January 31, 2011
Here's an image I've been meaning to post for months, a new mosaic from Voyager 1 by Ted Stryk of Io crossing Jupiter's terminator as it neared closest approach.
Emily Lakdawalla • January 20, 2011
Daniel Macháček has reached into the dark side of Prometheus and pulled out an incredible amount of detail where the potato-shaped moon is illuminated by Saturnshine. He produced an animation that morphs among the three sets of four-filter color images that Cassini snapped during the flyby.
Emily Lakdawalla • January 12, 2011
Cassini got some incredibly tricky shots during its January 11 Rhea flyby!

A state-wide 2014 Oregon Reads yearlong celebration will feature Oregon's most famous poet, William Stafford who would have marked his 100th birthday on January 17. Stafford was Oregon's Poet Laureate from 1975-1990, and the library will host a variety of events to celebrate his work.
Stafford, born in Hutchinson, Kansas, had his first collection of poetry published when he was 48 years old. Traveling Through the Dark won the 1963 National Book Award for Poetry. Despite his late start, he was a frequent contributor to magazines and anthologies and eventually published 57 volumes of poetry. He retired from Lewis & Clark College in 1980 but continued to write, travel and share his poetry. He won the Western States Book Award in 1992 for lifetime achievement in poetry. Often compared to Robert Frost, his poems are typically short, accessible and rich in detail.
Some of the events this month include:

REOPENING JUNE 29: Reservations and face coverings required. Read More
What Keeps a Rhino from Sleeping?
What's the most common behavior among all animals? Sleep! Yes, everything sleeps from flies to elephants. I think we all know personally how important sleep is to our daily lives. It's difficult to function without it. And we know that stress can disrupt our sleep. Well, animals are no different.
We have just published a scientific paper on how and when wild black rhinoceroses sleep.
It's difficult to find black rhinos in the wild, let alone ones that are sleeping. So we used silent, digital, infrared "camera traps" to monitor them in the field. The cameras were placed in front of two dust pits in two areas of Addo Elephant National Park, located in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. People often asked how we knew rhinos were sleeping at those sites. Well, our skilled rhino field technician, Jordana Meyer, could see the body prints. But ask yourself—if you weighed around 3,000 pounds, would you want to sleep on the hard ground? No! These dust pans are soft, kind of like memory-foam mattresses.
The cameras took photos whenever there was movement, such as an ear twitch or the rhino rolling over to switch sides. We found out that black rhinos spent about 90 minutes in recumbent sleep at night. (Our study period probably only covered one of three–four sleep bouts the rhinos had throughout the day and night.)
Above: A black rhino takes a break from sleeping to check out its surroundings. Top photo: A black rhino snoozes in front of the camera trap at Addo National Elephant Park.
Did males or females sleep longer? Well, what's your guess based on your experiences? The answer is males! Did you guess correctly? Well, there are biological reasons for this phenomenon. Female rhinos in the wild are either cycling, pregnant or lactating, so they need more calories to support offspring development. Meaning they have to eat more. So partners, if you find your wife eating in the middle of night when she's pregnant, don't question it!
Interestingly, we also found out that rhinos on the two sides of the park were sleeping different hours. Rhinos on the Addo side were sleeping between 8 p.m. and midnight, but rhinos on the Nyathi side were sleeping between 8 p.m. and 4 a.m. Both were sleeping for approximately 90 minutes, but why the differences? Well, when we went back into the literature, we found out that adult lions, which are only found on the Addo side, are most active between midnight and 4 a.m. When is an adult rhino at risk to a predator? In recumbent sleep. We can't be sure this is the reason for the difference, but it is a very interesting coincidence.
Moving forward, we hope to continue our sleep research on Lincoln Park Zoo's rhinos and expand it to other species as well. In the meantime, be sure to get plenty of sleep!
Rachel Santymire
Rachel Santymire, Ph.D., is director of Lincoln Park Zoo's Davee Center for Epidemiology and Endocrinology. Among other projects, she contributes to black rhino conservation efforts in South Africa's Addo Elephant National Park.

There are some who will get into crazy situations in their driving and in order to get where they want to go, and this video captures such a situation. This video shows a bus that is attempting to cross a waterway, obviously needing to get somewhere.
The bus has almost made it across the water and back onto the road where it should be when things start to get a little crazy. The bus topples just as it is about to reach land, and it flips down into the water. This video is exciting and a bit crazy, something that captures an experience that is not one that anyone wants to face. This video shows a crazy stunt that took place by a bus driver.
If you find this video to be interesting, please take the time to SHARE it on Facebook so that you friends can check it out, too.

Professional Music Appreciation Lesson Plans Ks2 Ideas - On account that i've commenced coaching recorder almost five years ago, ode to pleasure is one of the songs that i love coaching. For one, it's primarily based on a popular symphonic melody and it allows introduce college students to classical track and a well-known composer. There's so much you can do with this tune. I find the students evaluation technique at the end of the process very useful as i can pick out the strengths and weaknesses of the students in small agencies. In this manner, time isn't wasted too. Such institution evaluation additionally allows weak students to feel less intimidated and that they experience that they can mixture inside the organization if they can play a number of the simpler passages.

The sheet track above is certainly a very good one that i've found and used through the years. It's simple to peer that the lyrics are direct and easy for primary kids to soak up. Although the notes are not the ones that i might use in coaching recorder, the lyrics are genuinely brilliant!. 3.? before running on an extract from coleridge's poem, the students become familiar with the plot of the tale by using paying attention to "the rime of the historic mariner" as they put numerous pictures in the proper order.

1. The scholars listen for precise data by using writing an reason for every of the phrases, names or pics in this timeline based totally on "kilkelly, ireland", a tune wherein circle of relatives information, along with births and deaths, are shared for a length of thirty- years. Selecting a tune that meets the scholars' needs is not always clean, though. Apart from lyrics in trendy english that are not too difficult to comply with, the scholars shouldn't be too acquainted with them in case you're making plans to perform a little language paintings with them. I suppose songs that target widely wide-spread subject matters which includes love, friendship or private feelings, or songs that inform a story, are bound to work better irrespective of the music style. Most importantly, they are also more likely to conform to our precise learning goals.

Updated 3/15/19
Occasionally I get asked about what blogs I follow, what podcasts I listen to, what conferences I attend. I like keeping a leg in both worlds: libraries and the eLearning industry. This is especially important since I also teach in a graduate instructional design program.
Here's a short list of my favorites:
- Blended Librarian (for instructional design/online/eLearning librarians!)
Especially great for periodic webinars – recordings are available online.
- Experiencing E-Learning by Christy Tucker
Christy is a freelance ID pro. She covers a wide range of topics on her blog, and usually includes wonderful illustrations to boot. She regularly offers a link round-up of interesting things to read.
- Rapid eLearning Blog
Articulate-centric, but also offers tons of freebies and ideas for any elearning developer.
Both of these are fairly expensive, but offer discounts if you work at a nonprofit. DevLearn gives you free registration if you present!
- DevLearn
Held every year in Las Vegas in the fall, this is a huge conference mostly geared to corporate ID and elearning pros. It's slick but it's expensive, even with the half-off for being an academic. Get a presentation accepted and get free registration!
Also expensive, this conference features many speakers that are also authors. Basically every speaker is a total professional not only knowledgeable on their topic at hand, but very polished in their presentations. You can't go wrong at this conference no matter what session you attend! Huge conference held all over the world once a year.
See more conferences that I recommend!
- Dear Instructional Designer
Lovely podcast by instructional designer Kristin Anthony covers a wide variety of instructional design and elearning topics and interviews with people in the field.
- eLearning Coach
The original elearning podcast – ID pro Connie Malamed covers a wide variety of topics and interviews people in the field. Many podcasts have complementary blog posts, highly recommend.
- Elearning Scenario Design
New on the ID podcast scene, Anna Sabramowicz (of Broken Co-Worker fame) focuses on scenarios – how to do them, what they're for. Episodes are short and personable.
The e-Learning Heroes Community has tons of great stuff. I especially enjoy their weekly challenges (someday I'm going to participate, I swear!) The community is run by Articulate, so naturally it's Storyline-focused.
Nothing like this exists for Captivate, unfortunately!
- e-Learning Heroes Community (Storyline)
TONS of templates!
- lynda.com
For learning all that software! This is a paid subscription, but your workplace or local public library might offer access.

Fredericton busses won't stop on hills during winter weather
City transit officials are telling users to walk to the top or bottom of a hill if they want to catch a bus during messy winter conditions, if they want to get a ride.
In early December, the city decided busses will no longer stop on steep hills when snow is on the roads. This impacts students on campus looking to catch bus on Windsor Street.
The change is a result of safety concerns raised by drivers and passengers about sliding busses when roads become slippery. It also becomes challenging for a bus to continue up a hill in slick conditions after losing momentum during a stop.
Riders can check the Fredericton Transit Facebook page for updates on when the new policy goes into effect.
University presidential search committee selects finalists
The University of New Brunswick's joint nominating committee, tasking with hiring a new president, has determined two candidates for its shortlist.
The committee has employed Kenniff Leadership, a Montreal-based search consultant, to assist in finding and contacting candidates.
"The level of interest was encouragingly high and there have been many applications to consider," committee chair Jane Fritz wrote in an email to students and faculty.
The committee conducted several rounds of interviews by Skype and face-to-face to determine its final shortlist. The finalists recently met with a number of university community members from both campuses, confidentially.
The joint nominating committee has decided to hold closed sessions with the candidates and selected community members, in order to respect their privacy. Historically, UNB has held open town halls where any student or faculty member could pose questions.
"From the perspective of most candidates, being required to publicly declare their interest in the position has implications for their relationships at their current institution; their concern is significant enough that some well-qualified candidates consider withdrawing from consideration," Fritz wrote. "This decision was not taken lightly; it is one that carefully balances the need for further consultation with the Committee's responsibility to find the best candidate."
The committee expects to have selected a finalist by the end of January or early February.
UNB researchers aim to reduce falls through senior exercise program
Researchers at the University of New Brunswick are partnering with Horizon Health Network and Fitness NB to start Zoomers on the Go, a free fall prevention exercise program for people 50 and over.
The 12-week program hopes to assist aging adults meet physical activity guidelines through a variety of activities, and will start in the Fredericton area in spring of 2019. Two 60-minute sessions will be offered per week.
Danielle Bouchard, assistant professor in the faculty of kinesiology at UNB is leading a team of UNB researchers that will evaluate the participants' health. She said Zoomers on the Go is a sustainable, replicable model.
"Unlike most programs that often neglect rural areas, this project can be accessible to almost any older adult in the province," Bouchard said in a news release.
The program aims to increase older New Brunswickers' ability to remain independent, promote social inclusion through exercise, and social networking opportunities that combat isolation.
Zoomers on the Go is currently recruiting people age 50 and over, to participate in the free program. It will be offered on the north and southside of Fredericton.

Professor Bart Nnaji, Nigeria's former Minister of Power who had also served as Minister of Science and Technology, was 60 years on July 13, but it was not celebrated till a month later because he was in the United States in discussions with investors like General Electric, the world's foremost electric power equipment manufacturer. The celebration was grand. It was an assemblage of who is who in Enugu State, including Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu and old Anambra State governor Jim Nwobodo, as well as Ambassador Bianca Ojukwu, wife of the storied Biafran leader Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu. Yet, if Nnaji had his way, he would have marked this milestone in his eminently eventful life very quietly, and would have preferred the money spent on the ceremony given to the needy.

Article: Canadians Engineered The Great Escape
The 1963 film, The Great Escape, tells the true story of the 76 airmen who tunneled out of a German POW camp in 1944. Most of the prisoners in the camp were Britons and Canadians. The 'tunnel king' Danny Velinski, portrayed in the film by Charles Bronson, is a composite of several men, including two Canadian miners: F/Lt Wally Floody, the real 'tunnel king', and Flying Officer Hank Birkland from Spearhill, Manitoba.
Birkland was born in Spearhill, Manitoba, but with work hard to come by, Hank moved to Ontario, and eventually B.C., where he became a coal miner. When war broke out in Europe, Hank joined the RCAF, and was assigned to 72 Squadron in England. While flying his Spitfire over Dunkirk on November 7, 1941 – only three months after joining the Squadron – Hank was shot down and barely managed to skid to a safe stop on the beach. He was sent to Stalag Luft 3 and made fast friends with Wally Floody, a Chatham, Ontario mining engineer.
After several unsuccessful escape attempts from Stalag Luft 3, work on the tunnel began in earnest in 1943. Wally was the obvious choice to head the project. Three separate tunnels – called 'Tom' 'Dick' and 'Harry' to maintain secrecy from the German guards – were started under his supervision.
The camp's location in Sagan, Poland had been chosen for its sandy soil, which posed a serious risk to tunnelers. To protect the diggers, Wally came up with an ingenious design that used the bed boards to shore up the walls. Despite this, cave in's happened regularly and only one tunnel, Harry, proved suitable for the 95-meter journey to freedom. In March 1944, the guards grew suspicious of a possible escape and transferred several prisoners out of Stalag Luft 3, including Wally Floody.
Work on the tunnel continued. Hank was well known for his stamina as a digger, and worked tirelessly to finish the tunnel. On March 24, 1944, the prisoners made their move. Hank worked as a hauler, pulling carts carrying the prisoners through the tunnel, and after delivering 20 men to freedom, it was Hank's turn. Of the 250 hopeful escapees, 76 made it out before morning. Hank was recaptured later the same day. In all, only three made it out of Axis-occupied territory to safety. Sadly, on March 31, 1944, Hank was executed, along with 49 other prisoners. In all, six Canadians died as a result of The Great Escape; which remains to this day one of the largest mass POW escapes in history.

Really love true history from WW 2. How people survived and fought for the world. These men that spent many years locked up in camps and were miles away from families and loved ones. They suffered and offered their youth. What a generation … and it's quite fun that a 18-year old boy flew a bomber and had a machine gun. So young and already educated in warfare.

The Secret Influence of Comic Books – From Transformers to I Love You, Beth Cooper
<img src="http://dev.blogs.amctv.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/transformers-revenge-of-the-fallen-560.jpg" alt="" title="The Secret Influence of Comic Books – From Transformers to I Love You, Beth Cooper" width="560″/>
The summer of 2008 was pure heaven for comic book fans: Iron Man, The Dark Knight, heck, even Wanted offered geeks four-colored cinematic glory. But now that X-Men Origins: Wolverine is out of the way, the rest of 2009 feels a little light on the capes and tights. But look closer at this summer's offerings: Comic books have exerted their influence over the multiplexes in some obvious (and some not-so-obvious) ways.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
The first Transformers movie took concepts and characters from the '80s cartoon and comic book, put them in a blender and hit "Michael Bay." Fans recognized elements like the All Spark — similar to the "Matrix" from the Marvel comics series and the 1986 Judd Nelson/Orson Welles animated movie — but for the most part, these robots in disguise didn't really resemble anything that came before them. The new movie, however, gets its title villain from the recent Transformers comic series published by Dreamwave Studios. Fallen first appears in Transformers: The War Within: The Dark Ages (penned by long-time writer Simon Furman) as one of the original thirteen Transformers who betrays the creator Primus — he's Judas, as a giant robot. We'll see how the character is portrayed in the movie, but it appears he'll have ties to the Transformers' origin. We also almost got to see human industrialist G.B. Blackrock from the old Marvel series, but Michael Bay apparently found the name "too cartoony." This from the guy who had a dog urinate on one of the Autobots.
Terminator Salvation
While the latest Terminator installment is firmly rooted in established movie continuity (one would hope), there are some interesting comic book tie-ins. First off, there's the movie's uncredited co-writer, The Dark Knight's Jonathan Nolan. We all know how Nolan's last collaboration with Christian Bale turned out, so this could bode well. Then there's IDW's Salvation prequel comic, and Terminator Revolution, a continuation of the T2 saga from Dynamite Entertainment. Terminator has an interesting history in comics, occasionally meeting the likes of Superman and Robocop (in a Frank Miller-penned series). Perhaps when the current movie series run its course, we'll see Skynet team up with Omni Consumer Products.
I Love You, Beth Cooper
Believe it or not, this cheesy Hayden Panettiere vehicle — which looks like the ungainly offspring of Superbad and The Girl Next Door — has a comic book connection: The book on which it's based features illustrations by indie comix legend Evan Dorkin (Milk & Cheese). Dorkin's illustrations add to the novel's humor, showing the physical toll a night with the titular cheerleader takes on hapless teen Dennis Cooverman. Paul Rust, who plays Dennis, looks like a Dorkin drawing come to life. But that's about where the similarities to the book end, as the trailer makes the movie look as monotonous as every other teen comedy released in the last decade.
G.I. Joe: Revenge of Cobra
If there is anything even remotely cool or interesting about Stephen "The Mummy" Sommers' take on the "Real American Hero," you can thank longtime G.I. Joe comic book scribe Larry Hama. Through his work on the comic (which at one time outsold The Uncanny X-Men) and on the filecards that came with the action figures, Hama established the many character traits and story points that fans know and love: Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes being part of the same mysterious ninja clan? Drawn from Hama's own background in martial arts and Japanese history. Cobra Commander's transformation from an average guy to a maniacal extremist? That's Hama too. Snake Eyes and Scarlett's romance? A Hama creation that was more complex than the cartoon's simplistic Duke/Scarlett flirtation. The fact that Sommers brought Hama in as an on-set consultant speaks to the writer's influence on the franchise. Though even he couldn't stop the filmmaker from bringing in those silly accelerator suits.
Based on the award-winning graphic novel, G-Force follows an intrepid team of secret agent guinea pigs. Can they stop diabolical billionaire Leonard Saber from — I'm kidding. Sassy talking animals plus high-octane action? This brilliant concept could only have come from the mind of Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer.
Have you noticed any comic book connections in other 2009 summer movies?

Dates: ? – ?1974
This mysterious attraction in the early 1970s consisted of a mechanical gorilla in a tree carrying a human arm. It hung out in Tarzan's jungle, just beyond the Red Sea and Snow Cottage, around some grass huts.
The two photos show different stages (one with human arm, one without) and the Gorilla is in different poses. Does anyone know which one came first? In the bottom right photo of the huts (from 1973), there is no Gorilla – had he been removed by then?
See the Snow Cottage page for more context

- Charles Neil Making Large Panels
- Brand: Charles Neil | Category: DVDs
as the title states this is an A+ DVD. as we've some to expect it is very thorough also.
one thing that the DVD talks about is lumber selection. about knots, working with them, the boards themselves, the grain and everything in between
then preparing the lumber, and don't get worried that it will all be big tools. Charles uses only a tablesaw and planner for most of the milling process. he also uses a drum sander but that can be substituted for a planer.
then with all the boards milled as we've come to expect Charles takes it to another level and explains all the glues that could be used and their different properties. many people talk about gluing up panels but never before have i seen anyone go as far as to explain the different glues uses and properties.
last it gluing up the panels them selves. tips on getting good gluing pressure, clamps and everything in between. then as we always hear from Charles which is a key throughout this video as it is on his other videos he always emphasizes to sneak up on it.
this is a great video and especially if you have a large panel to make i would suggest this before going into it because it will really help you to do it. i would really suggest this video!

Assignment of tasks and technology
1. Assignment of tasks
The first meeting serves as a means of checking the feasibility of your idea together. Due to our 50 years of experience in the ODM (Original Design Manufacturer) field, it is easy for us to develop creative suggestions by taking efficient processes into account. This applies to individual solutions for single parts as well as complex mechatronical components.
2. Technology
In the second step, our employees taking part consult each other. Then colleagues from the construction, tool mould making or electronic departments get together and discuss the guidelines, and make sure that all working processes intertwine perfectly. By the way, our team also does not forget the formal general conditions. This applies for the compliance with the VdS guidelines and EU standards, as well as future certifications.

As gun sales soared into record highs, accidental gun deaths sank to record lows
"That's about three-tenths of 1 percent of the 146,571 total accidental deaths from all other listed causes. The decrease came in a year that saw record firearms sales to many millions of Americans," according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the gun industry's representative.
"This latest release from the National Safety Council shows that the vast majority of the 100 million American firearms owners meet the serious responsibilities which come with firearms ownership," said Sports Foundation President and CEO Steve Sanetti. "They store their firearms safely and securely when not in use, and follow the basic rules of firearms safety when handling them."

Last year we named 15 up-and-comers on their way to becoming billionaires by 2015. Four of them including Zynga's Mark Pincus, Groupon's Eric Lefkofsky's, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman and entrepreneur Sean Parker, all of whom make their money in social media or the Internet, are now new members of The Forbes 400.
So who is up next? We picked another new group of promising entrepreneurs, music moguls and Hollywood titans who we think stand a chance of making The Forbes 400. Let us know what you think of our picks and who you think will soon make the cut.
Ryan Kavanaugh, Movies $900 million
The Hollywood financier's star took off when his production company, Relativity Media, formed a partnership with Elliott Management (see below) in 2005. Kavanaugh, 36, has since pumped millions into movies such as The Social Network, The Fighter and last summer's Bridesmaids. JPMorgan is poised to buy out Elliott's investment in a deal that could value Relativity at $1.5 billion. Kavanaugh also has a stake in Ikea furniture supplier Archetype.
Paul Singer, Hedge funds, $900 million
The moneyman credited with helping push through same-sex marriage in New York is now railing against the Dodd-Frank bill. His $17 billion (assets) Elliott Management has returned an average 14% a year since 1977, often investing in distressed debt.
Kevin Plank, Under Armour $890 million
The U. of Maryland football player spent his final semester testing fabrics for a sweat-free T-shirt. He had some moisture-wicking synthetic ones made and founded Under Armour in 1996 at age 23. The now public company has over $1 billion in sales from its performance-oriented apparel and is moving into cotton T-shirts. As a teen he sold handwoven bracelets at Grateful Dead concerts.
The PayPal cofounder, now 40, got nearly $150 million in eBay stock in 2002 when his company was bought out. He is now CEO of electric-car maker Tesla Motors (his most valuable holding) and SpaceX, which has more than $3 billion in federal contracts, some for resupply missions to the space station. He is also an investor in photovoltaics startup SolarCity. A protracted divorce with his first wife may still gouge his earnings but hasn't yet. The South African-born Musk's bombast was an inspiration for Robert Downey Jr.'s portrayal of Tony Stark in Iron Man, and he was granted a cameo in Iron Man 2.
Jack Dorsey, Twitter, $650 millionThe man who came up with the idea for Twitter is now running two of Silicon Valley's most popular tech startups. The 34-year-old is executive chairman and head of product development at Twitter and is CEO of Square, which looks to simplify how people make and receive payments via iPhones, iPads and Android devices.
Marc Andreessen, Venture capitalist, $600 million
Valley veteran has worn many profitable hats. Among them: coauthor of Web browser Mosaic, cofounder of Netscape, founder of Opsware and cofounder of social network platform provider Ning. Now, with Opsware partner Ben Horowitz, he has an investment firm, Andreessen Horowitz. Between the firm and his own holdings he has stakes in Twitter, Facebook, Groupon, LinkedIn, Skype and Zynga. If it all doesn't work out? His wife, Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen, is daughter of Silicon Valley real estate billionaire John Arrillaga.
Andrew Mack, Teavana, $550 million
A hot summer IPO turned Teavana's CEO into a half a billionaire overnight. Mack, who started the tea retailer with his wife, Nancy, in 1997, sold $65 million worth of shares at the time of the offering but still has a majority stake. Teavana now has 179 company-owned stores in 36 states as well as franchised locations in Mexico and an agreement in the Middle East.
Diddy, Vodka, music $500 million
Over the years he has changed his stage name from Puff Daddy to P. Diddy to Diddy. Lately he's taken to calling himself Ciroc Obama, and for good reason: Through his vodka deal with beverage giant Diageo, Diddy receives an annual cut of profits and a big chunk of cash if the Ciroc brand is ever sold. With the vodka's value soaring toward $1 billion, and stakes in clothing lines Sean John and Enyce, marketing firm Blue Flame and record label Bad Boy, Diddy may beat buddy Jay-Z, featured on last year's cover, to The Forbes 400.
Michael Bay, Movies, $410 million
Bay is one of the smartest men in showbiz. When he makes a movie he doesn't just take a fee, he takes an ownership stake. That means he'll continue to earn big from films like last summer's third Transformers movie, which grossed $1 billion at the global box office. The Wesleyan grad got his start in commercials and music videos, and built on their sleek, fast-cutting look to create a whole genre around himself. He also has a large investment in special-effects house Digital Domain, which has done pioneering work on movies like Benjamin Button, Tron and the Transformers series.
Drew Houston, Dropbox, $400 million
At the end of August Dropbox was in line to receive new funding that will value the startup at $4 billion. Some were quick to name Houston, its 28-year-old CEO, a billionaire. He's not—not yet, anyway. He and his partner, fellow MIT grad Arash Ferdowsi, founded the Web-based file-hosting service in 2007 and graduated from Paul Graham's Y Combinator program soon after. They went on to receive $7.2 million in seed money before this latest round. The service boasted 25 million users in April but may have doubled since. Those users are uploading 200 million files a day.
Jimmy Iovine, Music, $400 million
After working with the likes of Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks and U2, record producer Iovine started Interscope in 1990, sold it, bought it back, sold it again and now runs it for Universal Music Group. He helped launch the careers of Eminem, 50 Cent and Dr. Dre, cofounding a line of eponymous headphones with the latter. It's been a very profitable association—in August HTC bought 51% of the firm for $300 million. Appeared as a mentor on American Idol last season, and his label is home to Lady Gaga.
Andrew Mason, Groupon, $390 million
Mason cofounded daily deals site Groupon three years ago and has a nearly 8% stake in the firm, which now has 115 million subscribers. It filed to go public in June, but its much anticipated IPO was delayed. It now appears to be back on and is looking to list later this Fall.

I've tracked the world's wealthiest people for Forbes for more than two decades, first as an enterprising reporter and later as the editor who oversees all our global wealth coverage and ultimately signs off on the final ranks of the world's billionaires. Over the years, I written and edited well over 100 magazine stories including numerous cover stories and other features. Along the way, I have valued everything from Polish telecom companies to property on the Black Sea Coast to an African game park. I have gotten to travel as far as Iceland, Singapore and South Africa to meet these folks at their homes, in their hotel rooms and on their yachts. Handling highly confidential and sensitive information is a critical part of my job, as is figuring out who to trust. It is never dull and I am always trying to uncover new information and out new billionaires. Any tips, email me at email@example.com

Is it a Crisis or Disaster?
Posted by: Misti McHatton on Jul 15, 2013
The focus of CEN training is to prepare Christians, Churches and Communities to be prepared to serve their community in times of crisis or disaster. Many people fall into the mindset that "disaster could never happen here!" It is important, however, to understand that crisis and/or disaster affects everyone at some point in their life.
Disasters are defined as: "a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage or hardship, as a flood, airplane crash, or business failure."
Crisis is defined as: "a stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, especially for better or for worse, is determined; turning point; a dramatic emotional or circumstantial upheaval in a person's life."
Using these two definitions, people face crisis and disasters every day.
Chances are you know of someone who is facing an event that has caused great hardship, or is at a turning point in their life in which the decision they are facing will shape and affect the direction of their life.
So, what can we do?
The first, and probably the most important thing is to be THERE. As is stated in a popular phrase, "people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Just being there to offer a hug, a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, is the often the most helpful thing you can do to help people going through crisis or disaster.
Secondly, offer your support. Whether that is prayer, helping with stated needs (physically, emotionally, spiritually, or mentally). Be AWARE of what their needs are and do what you can to help them…even if it is to refer them to someone else.
And finally, do what you can to be READY to help. In the case of someone who is going through a spiritual crisis, learn and practice how to share your personal faith story. If they are going through a physical crisis or disaster, take time to learn how to help. There are many training programs available to help with all kinds of situations. Pick one or two and take steps to prepare.

Meet one of our Joni and Friends' staff leaders, Yaling Wang, who serves as project coordinator for our international outreach. Several years ago, after she embraced Christ as Lord and Savior, Yaling came to us as an intern from the People's Republic of China. When God began opening doors for Joni and Friends to minister to special needs families in China, it was clear we needed Yaling on staff. Her cultural expertise and insight has proved invaluable – in fact, right now we have two Wheels for the World teams delivering wheelchairs, Bibles and Joni books in China; we also are leading a two-day Disability Ministry Training Summit for 50 Chinese pastors! Ask God to open hearts to His Word as our teams minister over the next two weeks in the most populous nation on earth.

It is expected to have some myths in the biggest financial sector. Every day, thousands of people invest money but only a few people are rewarded. As the attempts never stop, the brokers and scammers have found ways to cheat the investors. As a result, many false beliefs have been produced. It is hard to tell which ones are true but most of the time, these ideas remain only thoughts. This article is going to bust a few common myths that have been prevailing for a long time. The focus is on the strategy and technique, no investors think if the concept was right. If the money is invested based on wrong decisions, the capital will be lost. As the decision is affected by these thoughts, it is important to know if these concepts are true and have an impact on trading.
A bunch of traders can never take the wrong decision
It is the myth that groups are the best traders in Forex. When a group of people analyze the trend, the chance of mistakes will be low. However, it does not reflect on performance and the money is lost. Mainly, these communities are formed by investors who do not have proper ideas. They want to depend on the decision of others and this is how a community is formed. The professionals argue and provide plenty of examples, wherein this concept is busted. If communities were so successful, the number of winners would have increased. It is still at 5% and people are trying hard to make the profit. By the time a person realizes he was wrong, all the fund is lost in trading.
Getting rich by taking a bonus from low-end brokers
Some of you might think the low-end brokers are giving you a unique opportunity to make more money. But in reality, you can never change your life based on the bonus amount. For this reason, the expert traders use the best Forex trading account in Singapore to ensure premium trading environment. Stop looking for various offers and trade with trusted brokers like Saxo.
Premium signals help to develop prediction ability
It is a new idea but caused a stir in the community. It is also seen as a relief where people can roll in profits without analyzing the trends. It is not free but traders are willing to pay the price. In this way, professionals will do the work of analyses and will forecast if the market is going to be bearish or bullish. The clients then decide the plan, place the trade and make the profit. This strategy is still under doubt because of the uncertainty of the signals. It also raises a question, if the signals are correct, why do the providers are not getting rich? Imagine what will happen if the providers increase the price every month? These mysteries remain unanswered and busted the concept.
A bearish market is profitable
From the basic understanding, people want to make a fortune by buying pairs at a cheap price and selling at a high price. This is only possible in a bearish trend and that is why people ignore the prospects of the bullish trends. If a person can properly develop the idea, it is possible to make a good amount of money through trading even in a bearish trend. The performance is important, not the volatility. Even a favorable pattern can turn if there is a news release. Do not be frightened if the pattern is becoming bearish, it is temporary and the price will be stable. The professionals make money all the time without thinking of the volatility. Every pattern is profitable when the right technique is used.
Time improves the performance
It is a foolish to think that time will set everything to rights. The demo account is provided for a reason, not to attract traders. If there is no practice, a person can never achieve the goal. Many traders are stuck at the same level after years when others have become professionals. If a trader is serious, he can improve the performance even in a few months.

Personalized Golf PencilsWritten by Rebecca Russell
Golf enthusiasts are one of the top categories catered to in novelty stores. Golf-themed mugs, sweatshirts, calendars, and countless other items abound. There are personalized golf balls and golf hats, tees and clubs. If you have a golfer in your family, it is likely that you have purchased, or considered, many of these items as gifts, and you may be looking for a few new ideas.
New Ideas for Golf Gifts
One item crucial to any golf game is a golf pencil. Most golf clubs supply these shorter-than-average writing utensils. The avid golfer, however, might enjoy his or her own supply. Perhaps you could show your love and support for the golfer in your family by presenting him or her with a set of personalized golf pencils.
Golf pencils can be ordered in various colors and in different quantities. If your golfer loses things easily, it might make sense to order a large supply. You can present them all at once, or give a few on every occasion, as a running gag.
Pencils can be stamped with a special drawing or logo, or with a simple inscription of a name or initials. You may choose to include a quote by a favorite professional golfer; or if you are feeling humorous, you might choose a saying like "Dear Rob, Golf suits you to a tee!†However you choose to customize them, personalized golf pencils will almost always be an appreciated and thoughtful gift.

For the first time in many seasons, experienced defender Luke DeVere will hit the ground running in the opening round following an uninterrupted pre-season.
The 28-year-old, who was a key part of the back four last season, has featured in the majority of the Roar's pre-season fixtures and is relieved in part to be available for Friday night's Hyundai A-League opener against Melbourne City.
"It has been a long time coming for me. I've been looking forward to have a nice run into a season to get a good base under myself," DeVere said.
"I'm happy with how pre-season has gone and positive about what this season can bring."
Many will remember the impact DeVere had in the opening round clash last season.
Despite falling backwards in a sea of players, he stuck a boot out and left Melbourne Victory goalkeeper Lawrence Thomas dumbfounded as the ball nestled in the back of the net for a 96th minute equaliser.
"Last year was great given I had had a year out of football and came back in, we got a decent result and I scored so late on," he added.
"I'm not looking to emulate that so much, hopefully we can put on a good performance, put into place what we've been working on and get the season off to a positive start."
The Melbourne City squad that will take the field at AAMI Park on Friday night won't feature Socceroo legend Tim Cahill or potent striker Bruno Fornaroli, but that won't change the Roar's approach to the game.
"The Brisbane Roar way is to look within ourselves first and this week will be no different. We will be looking to get off to a good start regardless of who steps out on the pitch for them," DeVere said.
Despite only playing six games during the 2014-15 season, and then missing the entire 2015-16 campaign, DeVere is closing in on becoming the 12th player to play 100 Hyundai A-League games in the Brisbane orange.
He enters the new campaign with 96 league appearances under his belt, and has taken it upon himself to help some of the club's fresher faces settle in, being noticeably vocal at training during pre-season.
"Every year I try to develop my game and different attributes. From an early age, I've always tried to stamp myself on a game in one way or another," he said.
"Being a bit more vocal is just another way of helping some of the younger players and given a bit of direction."

WESLEY CHAPEL – The Wesley Chapel Wildcats advanced to the Regional semi final game Tuesday night with a 2-0 win over the Gators of Land O' Lakes.
The District 7 champion Wildcats (18-3-2) who were without the services of their top goal scorer in senior Heather Sefton (20 goal), brought the defense against an improving Land O' Lakes squad to only allow three shots over the entire game. Wesley Chapel's keeper M Holcombe manage saves on all three attempts for the shutout.
The Gators, who began the season 0-6 came on strong in the later part of the season with a 10-2-1 finish to get to the District 8 title game against River Ridge and finish as District runner-up to qualify for the FHSAA Regional tournament.
Maddy Golka, with an assist from captain Sydney Bauer, opened the scoring for the Wildcats on a shot that got by Gators keep Mackenzie Cameron for the opening score.
The other Wildcats score came unassisted via a penalty kick from close range by Katie Dixon after a foul that occurred inside 18-yard box.
Wesley Chapel will move on to the Regional semi-final to face District 8 champs River Ridge (11-6-1) Friday night with the winner advancing to the Regional final to be held on February 12th.

Calls For Action
TAKE ACTION and tell Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey to REJECT the Rate Bureau's current request.
In the last days of 2018, the North Carolina Rate Bureau, a non-government entity made up of insurance company representatives, presented a request to state Insurance Commissioner Mike Causey to increase homeowners' insurance rates an average of 17.4 percent. This is the second rate increase request in just TWO YEARS, with rates being increased 4.8 percent statewide on average in 2017.
Any rate increase will negatively impact the decision-making of your clients and ultimately the state's real estate industry. Just a couple of percent increase in insurance rates can mean hundreds and possibly thousands of dollars in additional costs that will have to be borne by the homeowner. While the average rate increase requested is only 17.4 percent, some communities across the state could see up to a 30 percent increase.
Tell Commissioner Causey to protect North Carolina's real estate industry!
When Congress is considering legislation that affects the real estate industry, NAR calls on its members to act. Simply by contacting your Member of Congress through an e-mail or a phone call, you can ensure that your business remains strong. NAR members join together and speak with one loud, powerful voice.

Some people seem to just throw shaker cards together. I am not one of those people. Today I managed to explode a large tub of glitter, a really large tub of glitter, in my craft room! I couldn't get the lid off, and then the sprinkle dingsen jammed, and the lid fell off!! Then, when I tried to put it back on, the container split, in a dramatic dump all that glitter on the floor sort of way. I was proud of myself. I didn't shout or swear. I did look at it in disbelief that the shaker card gremlins had managed to strike again. And then I discovered, that while I was on holiday, my dustbuster had lost all it's charge and that large pile of glitter attached itself to my socks and the cats paws and now the house is looking amazingly festive. Hey ho, ho ho ho..........
So here's my card. I like it. I will deal with the escaped glitter later....
I used Marianne dies. The star wreath die is LR0126 and the pine branch is from the same set cut from two shades of green. I used dies COL1301 to construct the robin.
I used wood effect paper and funky foam behind to make the shaker. I cut the foam with circle dies from CR1331 and added some glitter. Just noticed it looks like robin is safe and warm in his box and it's snowing outside LOL.
Thanks for dropping by. I'm off to scoop some glitter.... Hugz

Cornell Plans to Add a Spring Back to Student Life's Step
Ithaca, NY – Cornell University has announced a new proposal to transform the suicide nets under several of the campus bridges to also function as a trampoline park. "I was just walking by and the idea just fell out of the sky on me," said Karl Oppenheimer, a local designer who brought this idea to the attention of the university.
In a press statement, a university representative said, "We gotta raise money somehow. And morale too I guess. Kids like trampolines, right?"
Although it is planned to be used year round, initially it will be open mainly during orientation and graduation weeks, as well as being opened to the general public throughout the summer when the nets are usually at a peak low of use for their initial purpose. The statement from the university ends with, "We would like this to be a family place, and part of introducing students and parents alike to the Cornell culture."
Student groups would also be able to book the park for events and the IFC has considered using it for rush and fundraising events citing the success of the ΒΘΠ bounce house Guinness World Record attempt in fall 2017. When pressed for comment, Cornell President Martha Pollack noted with smile, "This could be a boon for student mental health; it could help them bounce back after a stressful week. A great way to get it out of their system." The president also made sure to highlight the revenue the park could bring to the university.
There have been talks that if this initiative proves successful to expand upon the park. "We're thinking that we could get a waterpark out of this too," Oppenheimer excitedly claimed, "Just think of the rides: Ezra's Tunnel, the Beebe Falls, etc." Due to the nature of reopening or revamping the once-popular with students Ezra's Tunnel location after Ithaca officials closed it in early 2018, it may become a difficult battle for developers, however they remain optimistic about their plans. Current estimates place construction beginning as soon as the current construction on campus is finished. There is currently no set date for when the park will open, although it is hoped it will be ready by the next fall.

It's been over two years since the poet of Chicago released her debut project, Telefone. After taking time to enjoy her success and tour the country performing her debut project, Noname is back with a new body of work called Room 25. In a recent interview with The Fader, the Chicago poet described the transition from her last project to this one by saying, "Telefone was a very PG record because I was very PG. I just hadn't had sex." She also noted, "It came to a point where it was, like, I needed to make an album because I need to pay my rent. I could've done another Telefone tour, but I can't play those songs anymore. Like, I could, but I physically hate it because I've just been playing them for so long."
Her sophomore project arrives with eleven new songs and features from Smino, Ravyn Lenae, Saba, Phoelix, Adam Ness, Yaw and Benjamin Earl Turner. As described in her interview, the project shows Noname maturing and experiencing new things. With that being said, she still has her soulful style and heart. Check out Noname's newest project and help her pay her rent this month. Stream Room 25 now!

There are so many things that I could say about Brelby but as these blogs are titled "My Brelby Story", I will share just that.
Two years ago I found myself unable to recognize the person I was. I had largely lost sight of myself and felt as though I had completely lost my identity; nothing in my life resembled my dreams or passions or 'Melodyness'. I felt like I was simply existing; no purpose, no direction, no identity. My nickname has always been Melly Sunshine but I was very certain at that point that my sunshine was gone. I didn't know where to start but I knew that something had to change. Taking a look at my life from the outside in, I concluded that while I was unsure of everything else around me, the one thing I was sure of was that I loved theatre; maybe I could find a remnant of myself on stage. And so my quest to rediscover myself, to recapture my sunshine, began.
I was twenty five at the time and had not done a full play since I was eighteen. I didn't have a resume or a headshot and I had absolutely no idea how to audition but nonetheless, I started showing up for auditions with a mixture of vigor and apprehension. My third audition resulted in a casting offer and I suddenly found myself plunged into the world of community theatre. As I suspected, the rehearsal and production process proved to be enlightening; a part of me, however small, was brought back to life and I knew I was at least going in the right direction in my quest. What I didn't know was that first show, my entrance back into theatre after an eight year hiatus, would put my quest into overdrive. I had been trying to put my foot in the waters of change and ended up jumping off a cliff; in the famous words of Will Smith "my life got flipped, turned upside down".
With the realization that theatre was not just a hobby but a part of me, I was challenged to make more changes, drastic changes, to start taking back ownership of my life. This process was scary as hell, the anxiety and depression I had been in the middle of worsened, but I continued pursuing theatre as it seemed to be the one thing I could be sure of.
Introduce Brelby. I saw an audition notice online for A Midsummer Night's Dream. I scheduled an audition and ended up having a blast. I had grown accustomed to auditions being competitive and uptight-professional but this was a unique experience; I was greeted by smiling faces and one girl, hearing that my name was Melody said "My name is Melody too!". She was sweet and sparkly and encouraging and made me feel welcome and unafraid. We played games during the audition and Brian and Shelby kept asking me to make bigger choices; I felt completely stupid but went with it anyway. I was not cast in Mid Summer, but something about that experience made me want to go back. I attended auditions for a studio show and was cast as the Narrator in a lovely little production of Telemachus, Darling. In this little group of seven, along with our crew, I felt at home.
It was almost a year later before I was able to return to Brelby where I was cast as Kaliope in She Kills Monsters. In that year, my theatre pursuits had been going swimmingly, but the rest of life had completely crumbled. In that year I had started to recover my identity but the crippling sadness lingered. I felt like I had a better grasp of who I was but I just could not kick the overwhelming depression. The production of She Kills Monsters, however, was a game changer. I found myself surrounded by a group of people who genuinely cared about each other and also had a ferocious passion for theatre. I decided to test the waters, sharing bits of my story and found that I was met with compassion and respect instead of judgment. I found myself surrounded by a group of people who could see the sunshine in me that I was no longer able to see. I was embraced as a person and challenged as an artist. I suddenly had a whole new group of friends who didn't expect perfection, just honesty. This was a place where I could show up as Melody, in my flower pants with my big pink bow in my hair, dancing around like a ballerina…and be loved instead of laughed at. This was a place where I could be unafraid. Unafraid to let my true self out, goofy and awkward and ridiculously enthusiastic, instead of trying to fit into some socially constructed box that I didn't fit in at all.
Through my experiences at Brelby this year, She Kills Monsters, the Leadership Retreat, The Princess and The Pirate, the Miscast Concert, I have found a place where I am good enough just as Melody. There is a tremendous freedom in that! It 's as if I have been given permission to be authentically me and a beautiful thing began to happen; I started laughing again, I became passionate again, I started to want to invest in other people again. I had found my sunshine again. For the first time in a long, long time I recognize the person I am. My heart is full of joy again and I have recaptured a sense of hopefulness. These recent months at Brelby have been a time of tremendous restoration.
Brian and Shelby have created a community that is a force to be reckoned with. At Brelby there is not an expectation of perfection but an expectation of authenticity. Not perfection but a willingness to try and to take risks and to grow. At Brelby, artists are not expected to be perfect but they are expected to conduct themselves with integrity and to support their fellow artists. Brelby is more than a theatre company putting on plays; it is a community that fosters growth in each artists craft and their confidence and a place where individuals are challenged to be leaders in the art community and in all aspects of their lives.
I'm terrible at condensing all my 'feels' and this is long already so I will end with this: I am inexplicably grateful to the Brelby community for helping me rediscover my sunshine and my zeal for life. I have grown immensely as an actress and have found myself again.
