Unless it's for medical reasons, I don't trust people who don't like cheese. I mean, I would be friends with a non-cheese lover but I wouldn't let them babysit my children. Cheese is just amazing.
I've been battling for years the idea of the perfect grilled cheese. There is the simple question of what kind of cheese would go on such a thing, but there are more subtle questions regarding bread, other fillings, toppings, and accompanying drinks.
There isn't a recipe per se for grilled cheeses which is one reason why I like them. I used French bread for this which was a decent choice, but I'm not sure that I grilled it to a crispy perfection. I might give the bread a second try though.
I went with a basic New York Sharp Cheddar. It's impossible to go wrong with this cheese: Melty and tasty. I want it right now even though I just ate it. With bacon and caramelized onion, it was a full sandwich.
Not everything was positive about this sandwich. There is definitely room for improvement. First, I needed to crisp the bacon more. I thought it was good, but you need it crispy if you are putting it in this sandwich (which is tough for me because I like my bacon a bit chewy typically.) It wasn't crispy enough though so when I took a bite I would rip out a whole piece of bacon. When this happened that particular bite would be delicious, but the next few bites would be lacking bacony goodness.
Cheesiness: How good was the cheese? Did it melt appropriately? Was it well distributed?
Bread: Did the bread toast well and hold up to the fillings? Was it crunchy yet giving?
Fillings: Did the filling compliment or overpower the cheese? Did they make the sandwich hard to eat?
Overall: This could include variables like ease in making, situation, and my general mood.
So how would the first sandwich of many, the bacon and caramelized onion with sharp cheddar rate?
Keep in mind I'm being extremely hard on this sandwich. It was freakin' good. I just think there is lots of room for improvement. Be on the lookout for more Grilled Cheese trials.
Very cool. I'd love to see more of these trials. Grilled Cheese is my favey!
Fantastic appetizer…… if you cut on a diagonal, there is more oozy goodness exposed.
we've recently gotten one of those Hamilton Beach breakfast sandwich makers that's making the rounds, and as a result I've wanted bacon for sandwiches without making it every single time we use the sandwich maker. Instead, I'll cook up a big batch on a cookie sheet in the oven, and then cut it into small squares when cool…that way you don't have the issue of big strips coming out of your sandwich, but it gets evenly distributed. You can stash the bacon pieces in the fridge and use throughout the week in sandwiches (or whatever else) — I have found there is no need to reheat.

Calgary Flames – Who Is Corban Knight?
June 18, 2013 by Anna Santiago
The Calgary Flames have announced their acquisition of 22-year old center Corban Knight from the Florida Panthers in exchange for a fourth round draft pick. The news broke on the morning of Tuesday, June 18th and since then, the excitement on the Calgary Flames front is buzzing again.
So who is this relatively unknown player and why should the Flames and their fans be excited about getting him?
Corban Knight was born in High River, Alberta to Jack and Laurie Knight. If the name Jack Knight rings a bell, it's because Jack has had ties to the Calgary Flames organization as their hockey chaplain.
At 17, Knight played with the UFA Bisons Midget AAA Hockey Club, where he scored a league-leading 65 points. Moving on to the AJHL, Knight's 2-season stint with the Okotoks Oilers was an impressive one. During the 2008-2009 season, Knight led all rookies with 72 points (34 goals, 38 assists) in 61 games. In the post-season to follow, he scored 10 goals in 9 playoff games and was subsequently named to the AJHL South Division All-Star team.
In the 2009 NHL Entry Draft, Knight was taken in the fifth round (135th overall) by the Florida Panthers.
Knight continued his hockey career at the collegiate level with the University of North Dakota, where he excelled and quickly became known as a great leader on the ice and a humble and friendly young athlete off the ice. In the 4 seasons spent with the University of North Dakota, Knight has been consistently hovering at the top of the scoring race, and has received numerous awards for his leadership qualities and athletic excellence.
Most recently, Knight was nominated for the Hobey Baker Memorial Award for the 2012-2013 season. His college career has been compared to the likes of TJ Oshie and Zach Parise.
At 6'2 and 200 lbs., Knight is a complete player with a big on-ice presence and a lot of skill. It was doubtful that Knight would sign with the Panthers for the upcoming season, and seeing an opportunity for something in return instead of losing him to free agency, Florida had to make a move.
When it came down to it, Knight was faced with the decision of going with the Flames or with the Edmonton Oilers.
As per the Calgary Flames organization, Knight has agreed to a 2-year entry level deal with the team, and is slated to be seen wearing the 'Flaming C' by this fall.

According to surveys, about half of a share's price is tied to the performance of the industry/sector the company is in. But just because a sector is going well now does not mean it will continue to do so. The following table, courtesy Morningstar, shows US returns by sector. While not entirely relevant to the Australian market, note the performers and the trends and how quickly the returns change.
Morningstar also provide sector valuations for subscribers but the business of identifying sectors with the best prospects, is not an exact science. To find companies with prospects is even more difficult. Look for confirming signals like directors buying, companies buying back their shares, institutional shareholders topping up. Look for companies that have developed important new services or products.

Also be aware that some industries are more volatile than others. High tech shares for example are much more volatile than consumer shares.
We acknowledge just how difficult it is to pick sectors, or companies for that matter, that are due for a surge. Much, if not all of the expectations are often already reflected in the prices.

Quinn Hughes Growing Into Michigan's Unquestionable Leader Before Entering NHL
Kristen Nelson
Sports IllustratedFeb 13, 2019, 10:47 PM
From learning how to cook to being more accountable for his mistakes, Quinn Hughes has been making the most of his time at Michigan to prepare for what's waiting for him at the next level.
When Quinn Hughes decided to return to Michigan last summer, he knew he had a lot of developing to do.
But what's been the most important thing he's learned in this last season since being selected seventh overall by the Canucks in the 2018 NHL draft?
"Oh, I learned how to cook," Hughes said.
The 19-year-old Hughes opted to extend his time with the Wolverines before heading to the NHL and decided to live on his own, forcing him to navigate his way through the kitchen. He keeps it simple, no go-to recipes quite yet, but Hughes's newfound culinary expertise is just a small part of his growth in maturity that has become the theme of his sophomore season in Ann Arbor.
Michigan head coach Mel Pearson said Hughes is a rink rat—always working on his puck-handling and improving his shot—but it's Hughes's time off the ice that has impressed him the most this season, and the leadership that has stemmed from that.
"He is a leader without a doubt," Pearson says. "He doesn't wear a letter, but the way he performs and carries himself, there's no doubt about that."
Between his two seasons at Michigan and competing at the World Junior Championship for two years, Hughes said he's always felt like a leader. But it's perhaps the harder times that have tested him the most and have truly shown just how much he has developed.
When the Wolverines made their way to New York City for a game against Big Ten–foe Penn State, they were riding high on a 5–1 win over the Nittany Lions from two nights before and were looking to take a series sweep.
But as the teams faced off at Madison Square Garden on Jan. 26, it took only a period to show that despite being heavily outshot, Penn State was in control of the game, taking a 4–0 lead into the first intermission thanks in part to a costly turnover from Hughes.
It's not uncommon to see the skilled defenseman skate the puck through the neutral zone, usually gliding around opponents and creating scoring chances. But this time he found himself clashing with the stick of Nittany Lions star Evan Barratt, who poked it away from Hughes and found Liam Folkes on the breakaway to give Penn State a 2–0 lead.
Things didn't improve in the second period. As Hughes was skating through the neutral zone once again, this time on the power play, a behind-the-back pass was intercepted by Alex Limoges, who then scored on a one-on-none chance.
Pearson said that Hughes stood up in the locker room following the 5–2 loss and took responsibility for his mistakes.
"It takes a lot to do that, especially for a young player who's an elite player," Pearson says. "To call yourself out in front of the team, and once you do that you have to back it up." And Hughes decided not to waste much time to do so. The following weekend when the team went to Minnesota, Hughes scored a goal and added an assist. "He was arguably the best player on the ice."
But even in that Penn State game, which Pearson dubbed as the worst he'd ever seen Hughes play, there were still moments highlighting why it's so easy to be enamored with his game.
Down four goals to start the second, Hughes found himself deep in the offensive zone with two Penn State players closing in on him. He shook them off his 5-foot-10 frame with ease, skated behind the net and wrapped around the other side to get a shot on goal, the rebound going to Luke Morgan for Michigan to finally get on the board and find its first moment of relief.
"It was a great play," Morgan said after the game. "He had great puck protection the whole time. He came around the net and I just battled for a position. It sort of just went off me and ended in the back of the net."
Hughes's mobility is a big part of what had him pegged so high going into the 2018 draft and fits him into the NHL's latest trend of relying on smaller, puck-moving defensemen. He racked up 29 points as a freshman and has already matched that this year to lead the team with four games remaining in the regular season.
Pearson said he chatted with Vancouver GM Jim Benning and head coach Travis Green last summer, an "honest conversation" about what they think would benefit Hughes the most. But he mostly discussed this with Hughes himself as he was deciding between gunning for a return to the Frozen Four and signing an entry-level contract.
"We talked about how many defensemen are in the NHL at under 20 currently," Pearson says, "and that it's a tougher position to jump into because you're judged by your mistakes more than anything else and you're the last man."
The question that faced Hughes following Vancouver's prospect camp last summer is inching its way back. Michigan's regular season ends on March 2 and the tight standings in the Big Ten have not ruled the Wolverines out of making some type of postseason run. Although Hughes wouldn't reveal what his plans are when the college season concludes, he is fully aware of what's waiting for him when he does decide to join the Canucks.
Hughes got a taste of Vancouver hockey for 29 days during the World Junior Championship, where he helped lead the U.S. to a silver medal, one-upping his bronze medal from the year before. Unlike Michigan's legendary Yost Arena that seats around 5,800, the final at the WJC boasted an attendance about triple that.
The crowd got his attention.
"It's like 'Holy crap, there's a lot of people here,'" Hughes says. "Whereas sometimes you're playing and you don't even realize people are watching you. But there, oh shoot."
Vancouver hosting a tournament featuring the best young players in the world was rather fitting, especially this year. After seeing off Henrik and Daniel Sedin at the end of last season, the 2018–19 Canucks have had three young stars stealing the show, starring Elias Pettersson (20 years old), Brock Boeser (21) and Bo Horvat (23). The trio leads the team in scoring and has had it flirting with a playoff spot.
The hype surrounding the future of the Canucks has not gone unnoticed by Hughes, who said he's been paying attention and is excited to join in on the fun when the day comes.
"I'll just do what I'm good at and hopefully that helps all of them out. I'm sure they'll make me a better player, too, because I know how skilled and smart they are," he says. "Hopefully we can just complement each other."
And it's not just one Hughes who could see himself in an NHL uniform very soon. Quinn's younger brother, Jack, is expected to be the top pick in the 2019 draft and is the next installment of a generation of Hughes hockey players that are preparing to take over the sport. Their dad says the youngest brother, Luke, could be the best of the three, but Quinn says it's pretty hard to bet against Jack right now.
But before Jack or Luke, all eyes may soon find themselves on Quinn, who knows whenever he chooses to join the Canucks, it's not going to be easy.
"I'm making sure I'm 100% ready for what's to come at the next level," he says. "Obviously I don't know, I haven't been there yet, but I think it's as much of a mental grind as it is a physical grind."
His coach knows that whenever Hughes does make that jump, he's got plenty in his favor to help him succeed.
"Every time he steps out on the ice he wants to be the best player and to win. His competitive spirit, I don't know if it's his best attribute, but it's such an important part of his game," Pearson says. "He's got some God-given skills, there's no question. He's worked on his game, but some of that is God-given. I haven't seen a player like that at Michigan with just that complete package."

Interesting article from Steve Ewen at the Province
Interview with Jack LaFontaine who played goal at the University of Michigan last year with Quinn Hughes:
"Quinn Hughes is the best skater I've ever seen," said the 21-year-old LaFontaine, a Mississauga, Ont., product who, we should mention, played with Toronto Maple Leafs' forward Mitch Marner and against Chicago Blackhawks' forward Dylan Strome in midget hockey.
"Quinn can turn on a dime. He can accelerate better than anybody. I've never seen anything quite like it. He's something else. I'll tell you right now, he's a stud. Everyone in Vancouver is raving about Elias Pettersson, but this guy is something else, too.

What is good mental health and wellbeing?
Good mental health and wellbeing means feeling happy and positive about yourself, enjoying life and maintaining a healthy relationship with family and friends. However, it is quite common to struggle with life issues from time to time, which will affect how you think, feel and behave. The sooner you sort out these issues, the quicker your life will get back on track.
Our goal is to help you learn about each yourself, recover from any mental health difficulties or mental illness and to become the best you can be – to have great mental health and wellbeing!
Check out how we can help you!
For urgent enquiries, please call 000 for an ambulance or go to your closest Emergency Department.
As you get older, you may want to be more independent and sometimes you may want to find out information before you talk to someone you know about what's on your mind.
When you need a little more help than that there are people who have special training to help young people when their mental health is not as good as it could be. These might be people at school (like school counsellors) or your doctor to start with. They might send you to see other people, like us at the RCH Mental Health or someone who has their own clinic (a private practitioner).
Alternatively, if you can access the internet there are loads of places you can get good quality information from people who work in this area. They have lots of details about what you can do on your own to start feeling well as well as options to talk to trained staff on the phone or online (if you are allowed).
There's nothing to be afraid of. It's really good to tell someone you how you are thinking and feeling and when you think it is time to get some extra help. The quicker you start, the faster you will feel better.
What happens at the RCH Mental Health?
When we first hear about you, it is usually by telephone from your parents or carer, a teacher (who has your parent's permission to talk to us) or letter from a doctor, teacher or school counsellor. Or you may have phoned us yourself. The person who contacts us is who we call 'the referrer'.
You may have seen someone, like your local doctor (a GP) or school counsellor or spoken with your parent about not feeling right. Your referrer will have collected information about how you seem to them and we ask them to share this to work out how we can best help you. The information we collect about how you are is what we call 'a referral'. We have trained health professionals (clinicians) that think about all this information. They might have more questions before they make a decision about how we can help, so they may discuss you with the person making the referral and your parent/guardian (if these are different people). They might also want to talk to you too to get your perspective.
Together, we will decide on what will help you best and who you should meet with. You will be told about any decision and guided towards any other useful information.
If you are coming to the RCH Mental Health to see one of our trained people (we call them clinicians), typically, an appointment will be booked. You will be given the details of the time, date and place. Information will be sent to you to help you be organised before the first appointment in most cases. Or we might see you while you are at the hospital for other medical reasons.
When you see us, you might meet with one or more of our clinicians. We will explain your rights as a 'consumer' of our service, so you know where you stand. They will talk with you and your family about what seems to be the matter and they will work with you to see how we can help. We do a lot of talking!!! You might be asked some more questions, or to do some other activities with the clinician. Sometimes these can be quite fun, like artwork, music or playing games. This helps us work out what you are good at as well as what's not going so well.
Often we will write a report about why you have come to see us and what we think might be good things to do to recover. We will also make sure that you are safe and people know what to do while you are getting better. You may have some new things to practice, which can help too.
You might see us more than once, but we will tell you. Sometimes our clinicians come to your school or visit you at home if you can't come to us. You might see us in different places, like the hospital or the clinic in the community. It just depends what you need.
What if I have to go to hospital?
If you have a serious mental illness and are really unwell, a doctor or clinician you are seeing will talk to you about having some time at hospital. Generally, this is because you can't get well at that moment in the community and you need some extra care, or tests, or medicines. Sometimes, when you start a new medication for mental illness you need to be carefully monitored to get the right dose and this is easiest or safest to do in hospital.
We have a ward, called Banksia, which is just for young people aged 12 to 18 years old.
You have rights when you are in hospital and it is important to know what these are. These will be explained to you if you have to go to hospital. But not everyone with a mental illness needs this.
A recovery plan will be written with you and your family to make sure you and the Banksia Team know how best to help you get better, be ready to return home and get back to participating in school and living life to the full. Sometimes this plan will include more sessions with some of our clinicians and things to practice. We really want your wellbeing to return as quickly as possible.
We would like to hear about your experiences, good or bad. Your suggestions and comments will help us improve our service and the care we offer.
No, you don't have to give your name if you feel uncomfortable with this. Keep in mind though that we can only get back to you about the matter if we have your contact details. Please be assured that your feedback will be kept confidential and it will not disadvantage you in any way.
OK, so how do I go about giving feedback?
Send us an email to MH.Complaints@rch.org.au Please give as much detail as possible.
You can also pick up a form in the waiting area or download form here. Deposit the completed form in the feedback box at reception, or mail it to us.
We will evaluate your feedback, and if you have provided your contact details and would like a follow-up, we'll get in touch with you. We will respond to complaints without delay and aim to resolve them within 30 days.
What can I do if…?
Feeling worried is also known as anxiety. It is an unpleasant feeling that most of us have when faced with something challenging. It is normal to feel physical reactions e.g. a faster heart rate, sweating, shaking, or "butterflies in your stomach." There are many reasons you might feel anxious. This can range from worrying about what others think of us, being excluded from a your friendship groups, being asked to talk in front of class, worrying about your hands being dirty all the time, or even just seeing a spider!
Feeling anxious or worried can help us in certain situations such as preparing to perform at our best (e.g. playing sport), keeping us motivated (e.g. to study for a test), or keeping us safe (e.g. not standing too close to the edge of a train platform). However, if anxiety or worry gets to the point where it is extremely intense, long lasting, or interferes with your daily life it can become a problem. If this is the case learning to manage the anxiety may be helpful.
Become brave by trying something new and get better with more practice!
It is important to get help, and sometimes that means meeting and talking with a mental health clinician to work out what to do.
Everyone feels sad or "down" at times. It is one of our human emotions. You might feel sad when you have lost something important, are hurt, or during a sad movie. Some people have strong feelings of being down that may bother them for a much longer time.
Feeling sad is different to being depressed. Depression is a serious condition which makes coping with day-to-day life hard and leaves you feeling down most of the time. It may include feeling irritable or stressed, getting more angry than usual, feeling worthless or guilty, having sleep problems, not enjoying things you used to, or changes in your appetite.
If you are experiencing these things most of the time and it gets to the point where it is affecting your schooling, friendships, or family relationships you may want to seek some assistance. A good place to start would be to discuss it with someone you trust such as a family member, friend, school counsellor, or health professional. These people may help you develop ways to cope more effectively, or help you find further assistance in coping with these feelings.
Feeling angry is a normal human emotion. It tells us when something is not fair, or that someone has done something wrong. Whatever the reason for you feeling angry, there is nothing wrong with feeling angry. What is important is how you cope with, and express, angry feelings in an appropriate way. Anger that is not managed effectively can have an impact on your relationships, as well as your physical and emotional health.
We know that anger can be unhelpful if expressed through violence, or by withdrawing, and can result in hurting yourself or others. If you are finding it hard to control your anger, if you feel angry all the time, or are reacting violently it is important to seek help. When this is happening, it is important to get help, and sometimes that means meeting and talking with a mental health clinician to work out what to do.
Young people's experience of attending school is often mixed. At times it can be very enjoyable and at others it can be extremely hard. Those finding the experience difficult may have problems with their peers such as bullying, being excluded from social groups, having regular arguments or fights, or just feeling like they do not fit in. They may also find the school work challenging and not feel supported by the teachers, or even feel picked on by teachers and other staff. Things that are happening at home, or with other young people in or outside of school or online may also be a worry and effect your school work and wellbeing.
Most young people attending school will have faced these kinds of problems at one time or another. If it is getting to the point where you are avoiding school, pretending to be sick so you don't have to go, or getting very worried about attending all the time you may benefit from doing something about it. A good place to start would be to discuss it with someone you trust such as a family member, friend, school counsellor, or health professional. These people may be able to help you develop ways to cope more effectively with school, or they could help you find further assistance in managing your difficulties.
It is important to get help and sometimes that means meeting and talking with a mental health clinician to work out what to do.
Many young people have worries about eating and their bodies. It can be useful to consider what is normal eating and what your attitude is towards food. If you can eat without feeling guilty, eat when you feel hungry and can stop when full, you most likely have a normal attitude to food. Most people eat different amounts of food on different days, eat more foods you like on some days, and overeat or limit how much you eat or drink sometimes. Dieting is also common, though not the best way to maintain a healthy weight. Most of us who worry about what they eat and the shape of their body do not go on to develop an eating disorder.
Eating that is unusual is not so much about whether you skip meals, limit food intake, or overeat; it is more about your thinking behind your eating behaviour, how frequently it occurs, and feeling as though you have to eat this way.
If you are finding yourself doing these things it is important to get help. See your local doctor first. A mental health clinician (a trained person) can also help. We have a team of them here that work with young people with a serious eating disorder. Young people with eating disorders can get better with help.
This type of behaviour can be very hard to deal with for you or the people around you. There are urges that may be difficult to control, but the sense that this 'feels helpful'. Many people self-harm in secret because they don't want to upset others or feel ashamed.
There are various reasons why you, or someone you know, may self-harm. Self-harm is different from suicide. It involves deliberately hurting your body without necessarily wanting to die. It is not always easy to put into words what the reasons for self-harming are, but it may be a way of coping with emotional pain or stress, a way of telling other people that you are distressed and asking for help, or can be a symptom of a disorder such as depression. Hurting yourself can include cutting a part of your body (often the arms, legs or body), burning your skin, banging your head, or taking overdoses of legal or illegal drugs.
Seeking help early if you are self-harming is really important. Telling an adult you trust such as a family member, friend, teacher, or health professional who can keep you safe and get medical assistance for you if required is a good first step. The next step is finding a health professional to help you find safer ways of coping when you have urges to self-harm.
Sometimes self-harming can suggest you are thinking about suicide. Having thoughts of committing suicide does not mean you will take action to attempt suicide. However, if you have a plan about how you would commit suicide, and intend on complete the plan it is crucial you tell someone.
If you don't think you can speak to someone who already knows you, you can talk to an independent professional. These are three good places to start (among others).
or look up their website.
or their webpage has details about their online or email counselling service too.

It is important to get help, and that can mean meeting and talking with a mental health clinician to work out what to do.
A lot of people worry about a friend or family member. That's quite normal.
If you are worried about somebody you could talk it over with someone you trust like a family member, friend, teacher, coach, or school counsellor.
The main thing is to think carefully about what may help them. Don't make a quick decision unless they are really in danger. The important part of helping someone else is for that person to know you are there to offer support and that they can get better with help.
If you think that talking to the person you are worried about is the best thing, you don't have to do this on your own if you don't want to. Ask for someone you trust to go with you. Sometimes all you need to do is let a trusted adult know and they will be the ones to take action. It's really helpful to share your views because you might notice something others haven't.
You can also ring Kids Help (they have supports for teens) if you want to talk to someone that is completely separate from your family, friends or school to work out what to do or to talk about how it feels to be trying to support someone who isn't well.
There are different services for adults and young people in Victoria.

Q: Formula help using and/if/or together with a picklist This formula works:
IF( AND(RecordType.Name = 'Solutions',
DATEVALUE(Account.CreatedDate) <= TODAY() - 10,
CreatedBy.Profile.Name = "Perkins Access Standard User",
ISPICKVAL( StageName , 'Won Completed'))  ,
"existing customer", "new customer")

But I need to add more stage names- Won Pending Start' and 'Won In Progress'
I tried this formula and it does not work-
IF(AND(RecordType.Name = 'Solutions', DATEVALUE(Account.CreatedDate) <= TODAY() - 10,
CreatedBy.Profile.Name = "Perkins Access Standard User",
ISPICKVAL( StageName , 'Won Completed'||'Won Pending Start' || 'Won In Progress'))
,"existing customer", "new customer")

*

*am getting this error- Error: Incorrect parameter type for function 'or()'. Expected Boolean, received Text.

Is there another way to write this so it works? I'm new to formulas and for the life of me cannot figure this out!

A: That's not how you use ||; each value has to be compared individually. || is used to return true if at least one of two or more different Boolean values are true.
The traditional "shortcut" for this is to use CASE:
1 = CASE(StageName,"Won Completed",1,"Won Pending Start",1,"Won In Progress",1,0)

How case works is it finds the first even value that matches the first value, and returns the odd value afterwards. It returns the very last parameter if there are no matches. So, for example, if StageName is "Won Completed", case returns 1, and 1 = 1, but if StageName is "Lost", then case returns 0, and 0 = 1 is false.

Album Review: PTX Presents: Top Pop Vol 1
Pentatonix, (abbreviated PTX) is an acappella group from Arlington, Texas, consisting of vocalists Scott Hoying, Mitch Grassi, Kirstin Maldonado, Kevin Olusola and Matt Sallee. Their new album, PTX Presents: Top Pop Vol 1, was released April 13th and they will be doing a follow up tour in the summer. It marked their first album with Sallee and without Avi Kaplan.
I know I am going to sound overly critical here, and if you like the album, I truly am sorry. I do not want to sound like a super fan of Avi, and I am, but I do not want to disregard the other talent here. I love their voices, all of them. Including the new guy, Matt, but I am really not feeling this album.
The first two songs, Attention and Finesse, seemed to be to fast. Attention in particular I felt like the higher register / vocal ranges shined but the lower vocal hid behind a tree.
As far as the third song, it was more about the arrangement of the two songs combined here. It was not bad, I would have like more of "Are you that somebody" or even that song covered as a single itself.
Havana, Perfect, Stay, and Feel It Still were just ok. They were not bad but did not wow me like PTX usually does.
Praying, with such an emotional message, I felt like it was lost here.
I usually love PTX, but this album was a miss.

Posted on April 22, 2015 April 22, 2015 by Galaxy Jane
I think all of us who have somehow glommed on to Bad Movies as a hobby all have certain things we keep on the shelf to trap the unwary. Things so gloriously terrible that their very existence defies expectation. So of course we look for any opportunity to inflict them on our fellow man. I call mine my Pet Bad Movies™, and they are glorious.
Today's feature was one I came across in the early '90s when holed up in my apartment with a terrible cold. In those days, whenever I was sick, I'd take a trip to my handy dandy local video store (remember them?) and pick up whatever looked worst before going home, loading up on the cold medicine, and settling in for an evening of crap cinema. I believe I picked this up to form half of a double-feature with Trick or Treat, a particularly silly heavy metal horror flick, which starred Skippy from Family Ties as a misunderstood headbanger who accidentally kills off about half the population of his high school by resurrecting his favorite metal musician from the dead.
The reason it made a good companion piece is that both films contain performances by KISS bassist and sometime vocalist Gene Simmons, who, in the early '80s, decided that he was going to be a movie star (yeah, I know, you'd have thought he'd have learned from KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park). Over the couple of years he worked in Hollywood he turned out fare ranging from the low-budget, but competent, sci-fi thriller Runaway to our subject today, which falls so far below that standard that it transcends competence to become a true piece of trash art. Folks, I present Never Too Young to Die.
Even the poster tagline makes no sense!
We open with a gathering of Road Warrior extras with torches standing at the top of a dam somewhere over Los Angeles. I'm pretty sure this is the only pre-apocalyptic film ever made. By which I mean that the baddies all dress like something out of a random Italian Mad Max ripoff and, as we'll see later, their preferred mode of transportation is motorcycles covered in dead horse skins, with the occasional rag-draped dune buggy for variety. Meanwhile everyone else in the movie lives in a perfectly-modern (in a 1980s way) universe. Seriously, I was so stoned on DayQuil (it's the dextromethorphan component, makes me nutty) the first time I saw this that for years, until I tracked it down again, I fully believed it was a post-apocalyptic movie.
A very ugly woman, Velvet Von Ragnar (Gene Simmons), comes out to harangue them with such choice sobriquets as "my little turdballs, my little scumbuckets" and lays out the whole villainous plot in the first 30 seconds of the flick. Apparently, they are going to access some computers to redirect radioactive waste to poison the entire water supply of the city below. Why? "For gold, for ransom, for jewels, for money" of course. I have no idea how this is supposed to work as I can't imagine transporting radioactive waste through pipes, particularly pipes that somehow connected to a municipal water system, nor how that would make you rich, but then again I'm not a psychopathic hermaphrodite (the movie's word, not mine). Now my theory is that his minions dress sense is their way of getting a jump on the apocalypse they are planning to cause.
Everyone starts chanting something about RAM K (to save you a lot of confusion that the movie doesn't see fit to clear up for ages, the RAM K is the computer disc with which Velvet plans to divert the radioactive waste, no it doesn't make any sense, just go with it), but the RAM K has been stolen fromthe bad guys, so they prepare sacrifice a slutty biker chick (by the end of this movie you will be utterly sick of the term "RAM K") to "The Finger". Not "The Finger!!!" For what it's worth, "The (index) Finger" has a sharpened fingernail, making it something less than the most intimidating weapon of doom of all time. This is reinforced when Simmons loses the nail during the killing-the-traitor scene and it's not actually in the next shot when he holds "The Finger" up threateningly. Before she dies (remarkably quickly, that must be a hell of a poison on that nail), she reveals that she gave the disc to someone named Stargrove. "I want Stargrove!"
And only after this folderol do we finally get some opening credits. These will serve to help solidify the movie's credentials as a firm contender for most 80s thing ever. Lance Stargrove (John Stamos, natch) jumps on a trampoline over his own obnoxious theme song gymnastics montage. It's an obnoxious earworm titled Stargrove ("Stargrove! He's running through the danger zone!"). Everyone else in the facility (sweaty metrosexual men) does gymnastics, while John just bounces, because he has no gymnastic ability whatsoever. Well,crap, George Lazenby pops up in the opening credits, which doesn't bode well for his post-Bond career. After the bouncing is over, but before the damned song ends, we also get our first glimpse of Lance's Nerdy Asian Roommate™ Cliff (Peter Kwong) in awful 80s clothes, who is sending Lance test answers on a big Seiko calculator watch. Because that's komedy gold right there.
The last few components of what passes for exposition in this mess follows immediately as we establish that the roommate is a supergenius, building weapons and spy gadgets in the dorm (folks, we have our ersatz Q!). They have a whole collection that they just casually keep in their room. Yes, of course that includes the super-flamethrower, what could possibly go wrong? Despite having such a super cool life and attending a super-ritzy private university, poor Lance is sad because Daddy (he's a "troubleshooter for oil companies", *cough* *cough*) doesn't care about his gymnastics tournament and doesn't generally turn up for parents' day. But hey, he did send a nifty care package (aha, methinks I spy a plot point or two).
Given what we've seen so far, you'll be utterly unsurprised to discover that the real reason Daddy isn't there is because he's really super secret agent Stargrove (poor George Lazenby). He's trying to hunt down Von Ragnar in his secret underground lair. Without revealing too much, let's just say it's obvious who the traitor on his Velvet hunting team is (and hence what the big reveal near the end of the movie will be), which doesn't say much for Stargrove's observational skills. Lance is doing rings when his dad is attacked by the post-apocalyptic Roadies from the opening scene. I do give this scene credit for containing one of the worst falling dummy scenes ever, (it bends in half backwards upon landing with knees over head), which earns it points in my book. Dad is captured and we will cut back and forth between Lance on the rings and Stargrove, Sr. being threatened by Von Ragnar until the moment wonder Daddy is murdered (no, we are still in the first 10 minutes of movie, that in no way counts as a spoiler). Lance falls poetically at the exact moment of his father's death.
Gene Simmons is especially ridiculous here and sets up a bit that will continue throughout the movie, where each time he does something particularly EVIL, he laughs like a hyena and rolls his eyes back in his head.
OK, now that we've set the plot in motion, how about a love interest?
And conveniently, the very next scene will introduce a mystery chick in whory clothes (lace half-gloves, see through lace skirt and all, did I mention it's the 80s?) who turns up at Stargrove's funeral. Eventually she will be revealed as Danja Deering (Vanity) whom Lance will soon help rescue from a giant barbarian with a morning star (what the everloving hell?). Danja was a fellow agent who worked with Lance's father and the two loathe one another on sight, which means they should be having sex some time in the next half hour or so.
From here on out, we will more or less spend the rest of the movie alternating between set pieces, where first Lance will get in trouble with Velvet's goons and Danja will save him and then Danja will get in trouble with Velvet's goons and Lance will save her, with the occasional appearance of Cliff to help rescue them both with the use of all the Chekov's gear from the dorm.
Where's Bob Mackie when you need him?
Highlights include a visit to Von Ragnar's nightclub (because all charismatic, preapocalyptic, hermaphrodite gang leaders are also famous nightclub owners, right?). Velvet's entrance must be seen to be believed, as Simmons makes the world's ugliest Cher drag act ever to perform (despite having once dated the lady herself). Hilariously, Simmons must have written the lyrics for his sprechstimme opening as he would reuse some of the lyrics for the song Spit on the Revenge album several years later ("Got no manners and I'm not too clean, but I know what I like if you know what I mean").
There's also a pretty nifty car/bike chase scene, although it does serve once again to highlight just how stupid the horsehide covered cycles are, particularly as they aren't even real, manly motorcycles, but lightweight sport bikes (125s? 250s? I can't tell). The dune buggy isn't much better.
The best part may be the appearance of Robert Englund. He knows how much this movie sucks and will ham it up every time he appears. He's so much better an actor than anyone else involved in this tragedy, that he figures a way to steal every scene he's in. Yes, that's right Freddy Krueger manages to steal the spotlight from a six-foot tall Gene Simmons dressed in drag and going all out with the camp. Seriously, no matter how far in the background he appears, he will prance around like a flying monkey providing much needed entertainment for the rest of the movie. Many years ago, Liz, over at And You Call Yourself a Scientist, coined the term Nut 'O Fun to describe any background object in a movie that is so bizarre and attention-getting that it constantly distracts your attention from whatever is going on in the rest of the scene. I am therefor declaring Robert to be this movie's living Nut 'O Fun.
Wanna see me caper?
Oh, in case you were interested, Robert is the mad scientist behind the water-pollution plan and has all the radioactive waste that the plot requires ready to go.
Stuff happens, stuff happens, "The Finger!", stuff happens, really (and I mean really, let's put it this way, it involves an apple and a garden hose) awkward sex scene, more stuff, RAM K, even more stuff, inevitable betrayal, you get the general picture.
The final confrontation will return us to the high dam overlooking the city and will be left to your imagination except to say that this movie contains not one, but two, count 'em, TWO of the worst falling dummy scenes in the history of the motion picture.
So what's the overall take? I gotta say, this movie is a lot of fun with the right audience (you, several like-minded or simply extremely gullible friends and at least a rack of good beer) and I pull it out semi-regularly to inflict on folks. It has the advantage of being obscure enough that even my hardest-core B-fan friends are unlikely to have seen it (it had brief official VHS and possibly Laser Disc releases, but no one has seen fit to put it out on DVD). Re-watching it alone (and sober) for the purposes of this review was a somewhat more painful experience.
For one thing it just seems so damn long, this is mostly due to the things-happen-until-we've-reached-our-statutory-running-time structure. Very little of what is going on serves the plot, but simply fills time and (arguably) looks cool until it's time for the final confrontation between Lance and Velvet.
The complete lack of charisma or acting ability in our two stone-faced leads is also a major problem for the movie. Let's face it, while John Stamos may have been gracing the cover of Tiger Beat every week, it wasn't for his acting ability. The only reason he had such a successful run on Full House was the fact that the role actually called for a vacuous prettyboy. Vanity fairs no better. Her biggest claim to fame, such as it was, was as one of Prince's musical protegés and the best you can say about her is that, as an actress, she makes a hell of a singer (see also her turn in The Last Dragon). Neither seem to realize they are in a James Bond parody and play things so expressionlessly that it becomes much funnier than if they had given it the slight wink-and-nod that the material really deserves.
Judging from some of his other work, Gene Simmons can act, and he gives the part his best shot, but it's too ridiculous a role for anyone to escape with their dignity intact. Given his sheer size and presence (not to mention his reputation as, well, a manslut), he won't be winning any awards from RuPaul anytime soon.
Still, overall the movie is hilariously over-the-top goofy fun and you could do a lot worse than to track down a bootleg (Note from our lawyers: GalaxyJane does not advocate breaking copyright law), invite your favorite movie-riffing pals, crack open a cold one (or a nice box of wine), and have a great what-the-hell-is-going-on-now evening.
Until next time, folks!

50 Years of Displacement of the Nubians in Egypt
Former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi meeting with the Nubian community from southern Egypt. Nubians are demanding an end to marginalization
AFRICANGLOBE – Stories of loss, longing, and hope for the future mark the fiftieth anniversary of Nubian displacement from their historic home.
On 18 October, 1963, the Nubians embarked on the final chapter of their deracination. Today we sheds light on 50 years of Nubian displacement: the unspeakable loss, the new land, and all that fell in between.
Ever Been to Nubia?
The one-hour drive north of Aswan was a smooth one. Wafting from the car's cassette player, a Nubian beat drifted like the musical equivalent of the Nile River, on the banks of which were scattered the blue houses of its original inhabitants.
Along the Nile, stretching from the south of Aswan's Fourth Cataract and up to Egypt's border with Sudan, lies the ancient land of Nubia.
This rich, albeit forgotten chapter of Egyptian history, is believed by some to have derived its name from the ancient Egyptian "Nbu," meaning gold, in reference to the abundant gold mines dotting the area. Famed for its wealth and pre-historic multilayered civilisation, the 'Land of Gold' was in the 1960s deliberately flooded by Lake Nasser – the High Dam's water reservoir – and 44 Nubian villages were consequently drowned, along with their 12 million palm trees.
UNESCO, as well as some 40 countries, cooperated to salvage the Nubian monuments, which were relocated to the banks of the newly-formed Lake Nasser. As for the Nubian people, well, they were promised new villages.
The Nubians got new villages, 44 to be exact, but their new home of Markaz Nasr Al-Nubia shares little of their homeland's glory.
Resting under the scorching desert sun, 'New Nubia' is devoid of the true lifeline of Nubian culture: the Nile's waters.
"Nubian displacement villages are situated 60 kilometres north of Aswan, east of Kom Ombo, some 25 kilometres away from the Nile," explained Samir Haqqar, chief of Markaz Nasr Al-Nuba.Occupying an area 180 square kilometres in length and50 square kilometres in width, the location housed some 47,000 displaced Nubians in 1963/64.
Today, this number has increased to 87,000, divided among five main constituencies: Al-Fadigga, Al-Konouz, Arab, Thomas Wi Affia and Nasr Al-Noba, Haqqar added.
The construction of the Aswan Reservoir, which preceded the High Dam, forced the Nubians to relocate multiple times prior to the final 1963/4 displacement – in 1902, 1912, and 1933 – with governmental approval to select the destination of their choice along the Nile's bank.
Upon the erection of the High Dam, however, all Nubians had to be deracinated from their homeland in order to make room for Lake Nasser. "At that point, Nubians held opposing views, with some choosing to be relocated north of the dam and others opting to remain south near their salvaged monuments," remembers Abdallah Hassan, the mayor of Thomas wa Affia village. "Gamal Abdel-Nasser issued a referendum supervised by Nubian teachers, and I was one of them," he noted.
In old Nubia, only one hospital could be found, in addition to a sailing boat clinic providing medical care. "Since we were deprived of numerous basic services, the majority voted for south of the dam, hoping for a better chance at medical and educational government services," Hassan explained. Thus, the Nubians were relocated to the desert separating Kom Ombo from Aswan, some 25 kilometres away from the Nile, or any shade of greenery.
In the Valley of the Jinn
The Nubian temple of Abu Simbel was relocated in order to save it from the flood waters of the Aswan Dam, however many other Nubian monuments were covered by lake Nassser
Along with their cattle and luggage, the Nubians were dropped in the middle of the desert at a location known as Wadi Al-Jinn (Valley of the Jinn). "When we first arrived, among thousands of other families, we discovered that only 30 percent of the houses meant to receive us had been built, while the rest were mere chalk marks on the ground," recounted Ahmed Ishaq, head of the Follow-Up Nubian Committee and chairperson of the General Coalition of Thomas wa Affia village in Cairo.
Little has changed since. In Thomas wa Affia, one of the displacement villages, the houses are the colour of sand and the powerful sun. Inside the mayor's modest house, an elderly woman clad in all-black sat beside an interpreter who translated her Nubian into Arabic. Refusing to revisit her grief, Fatma Abdou, one of the many mothers who lost their children in the 1963/4 displacement, summarised her first day at the new village in one sentence:"I remember fatigue, illness and death." Her two- and four-year-old sons both died from drinking contaminated water, she said.
The Egyptian government provided drinking water in rusty buckets, and small canals bearing traces of agricultural pesticides offered the only other alternative. Intolerable heat, combined with the contaminated water, contributed to what Nubians refer to as 'the nursery tombs.' "The hardship caused by the displacement killed all the infants born in 1963/64. Graves were being dug from dusk to dawn, yet the media never made mention of the incident," Ishaq explained.
Another shortcoming of the displacement process was the insufficient research done on the soil, which, "in 90 percent of the displacement villages, is 'baga' [porous] and cannot hold concrete foundations, so houses crack," commented Hassan Abdallah, the Thomas wa Affia village mayor. Of the 300 village houses, not a single one is free of cracks.
As most of the displacement houses are still government-owned, the government allocates LE125,000 for the restoration or reconstruction of each faulty unit based on an annual rotation.
But even this solution proved insufficient, as new cracks became visible on Samir Ibrahim's house only 15 days after its restoration. "How is it possible that our mud houses in old Nubia were able to sustain the rain and the floods, while here they can barely stand on the ground," he wondered.

Light Novel Debuts for December 2020
Hello everyone! Welcome to another look at the light novel series making their debut, this time for the month of December 2020. As always, if you want to see all the light novels releasing in December and beyond, be sure to visit the Preorders page.
I apologize for this being late. But I'm still getting it out before any of the new series debut, so hopefully you all can forgive me!
This month sees premieres from all the major English light novel distributors. We have 1 new titles from Seven Seas, 3 from Yen On, 2 from Cross Infinite World, 1 from J-Novel Club, and 3 from Sol Press who has risen from the dead ;)
As usual, the vast majority of titles are fantasy/isekai, but we manage to squeeze some slice of life/romance titles in there too!
So, with all that said, let's get to it!
First up is the single premiere from Seven Seas. This is a digital advance release, with the print version coming in March 2021.
This title should appeal to fans of Arifureta with its familiar themes of a summoned class of teenagers and one of them being cast aside for being average in his abilities. However, in this case, the summoning goddess herself is the one to betray him, setting in motion a god-destroying desire for vengeance!
Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells
Abruptly catapulted into a fantasy world, Mimori Touka and his classmates have been summoned by the world's resident goddess to serve as heroes. Luckily, most of the students display amazing skills upon arrival–except for Mimori, whose abilities bottom out at a measly E-rank. With no further use for him, the goddess banishes Mimori to a dungeon from which no one has ever returned alive. Yet, as it turns out, Mimori's skills aren't so much worthless as they are abnormal. Abnormally powerful, even. If Mimori can only claw his way back to the surface, nothing will stand in his way from getting revenge.
Failure Frame: I Became the Strongest and Annihilated Everything With Low-Level Spells Volume 1 (eBook)(print releases March 9, 2021)
Amazon — Apple — Google Play — Kobo — Bookwalker
Releasing December 10, 2020 — ASIN: B08LS4Y7R6
Next up is the first of Yen On's new titles. This is also one of the two slice of life, romantic comedies debuting this month. A number of people have said this is a very sweet and wholesome title. So if you like rom-coms and want a title that's going to feel warm and comfortable, this could be the one for you! It also doesn't hurt that it's ranked on Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi for the past two years!
Amane lives alone in an apartment, and the most beautiful girl in school, Mahiru, lives just next door. They've almost never spoken-until the day he sees her in distress on a rainy day and lends her his umbrella. To return the favor, she offers him help around the house, and a relationship slowly begins to blossom as the distance between them closes…
The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten Volume 1 (paperback/ebook)

Releasing December 15, 2020 — ISBN-13: 978-1975319236
Readers of Goblin Slayer will be familiar with the character of Sword Maiden and that she was part of a group to defeat a demon lord. Well, we're finally getting a chance to experience that adventure in this spin-off title.
Goblin Slayer Side Story II: Dai Katana
Not a soul knows how the death and destruction started. Only one thing is certain–it came from the north. Deep within the Dungeon of the Dead is where the Demon King resides, and the only hope humanity has of defeating this great evil rests on the shoulders of a handful of adventurers. This tale of Sword Maiden's past smells of ash and sounds like the ringing of bare steel.
Goblin Slayer Side Story II: Dai Katana Volume 1 (paperback/ebook)
The first of Cross Infinite World's titles is returning us to the world of otome games. However, this time, the game is filled with so many deadly bad ends, it's almost impossible for the main character to consider falling in love or enjoying her new life! There's a very dark Alice in Wonderland vibe to this one that I'm finding very appealing!
I Reincarnated As Evil Alice, So the Only Thing I'm Courting Is Death!
Struck by a car while saving a kitten, I died and reincarnated as the heroine of Evil Alice's Lover, my absolute favorite otome game. But before I could even enjoy my new life as Alice, I remembered something important. Even though this is a game about dating, there are so many bad endings, it won the award for "Deadliest Game of the Year"!
I'm not allowed to fall in love if I want to live?! But the death flags just keep coming!
Packed with suspense and romance, this is the story of my gothic romantic comedy!
I Reincarnated As Evil Alice, So the Only Thing I'm Courting Is Death! Volume 1 (ebook)
Amazon — iBook — Kobo — Google Play — Bookwalker
Released December 18, 2020 — ASIN: B08L7DHCB3
The next release from Cross Infinite World is actually a delayed title from last month. It's a isekai/fantasy/slice of life title about a young girl trying to improve the life of the man who took her in.
Reincarnated as the Last of My Kind
A bicycle crashes into me one night, and the next thing I know, I'm a baby?!
Getting reincarnated in another world populated by humans, demi-humans, and mythical beasts is certainly not the turn I thought my life was going to take. I especially didn't expect to be carried off by a wolf and given into the care of a one-armed former knight! Now I'm trying to repay him by rebuilding the family inn and healing his arm with alchemy. But the more time passes, the more it becomes clear to me that I'm not actually human…
Reincarnated as the Last of My Kind Volume 1 (eBook)
Releasing December 21, 2020 — ASIN: B08KFSHMPV
The next release is the sole title debuting from J-Novel Club this month. I'll cut them some slack as they've been pumping out new titles every month and certainly 2021 doesn't look any different.
This one is part of their J-Novel Heart line. A tale about a girl who finds herself in a very odd school which promises a bright future if she can become an accomplished maid?! Some heavy yuri vibes from this one.
Girls Kingdom
All Misaki wanted was a free education. Instead, she accidentally lands an exclusive contract with the most prestigious girl in school… to serve as her personal maid! Misaki soon discovers that Amanotsuka Academy for Girls is no ordinary school—her classes are all about how to be a maid, too! Students who impress the school's elite young ladies with their domestic service skills might be lucky enough to become a "Seraph," guaranteeing them a job with an upper-class household after they graduate.
But Misaki doesn't want to be a maid; she just wants to study hard, go to college, and work for a good company. So why did Himeko make her into her Seraph out of nowhere? What kind of rich girl hires a maid who wants nothing to do with the job?! If she wants to get through high school, Misaki has a lot to get used to!
Girls Kingdom Volume 1 (ebook)
Released December 23, 2020 — ASIN: B08L3TR3CY
On December 28th, Sol Press rises from its slumber to knock out three new series all on the same day!
The first one is a fantasy/reincarnation tale where the main character, who was a powerful swordsman in his previous life, decides to pursue magic in this new one. Too bad is talent is so low his own family disowns him. But hey, he's determined, so I bet he'll get somewhere!
I Surrendered My Sword for a New Life as a Mage
One day, Soma learns that he was reincarnated from a powerful swordsman. In this life, however, all he wants is to master magic!
When he learns that he has no skills at all in this life, he gets left behind by his family. With no magic spells, most would assume he'll never be able to cast even a single spell, but Soma isn't ready to take "no" for an answer…
I Surrendered My Sword for a New Life as a Mage Volume 1 (ebook)
Released December 28, 2020 — ASIN: B08MVT63RQ
The next title from Sol Press is a gameplayer being brought to another world with his game master skills intact. What makes it sound a little different is the fact he isn't just taken to the world of the game he played, he is abducted with a number of other players to separate world and they are pitted against each other!
The Game Master has Logged In to Another World
This MMO is taking the world by storm! Become a GM today and gain access to unique and powerful abilities!
Masaki Toudou, game master for the popular MMORPG Brittalia Online, collapses on his way to a ramen shop. When he awakes, he finds himself in a world ravaged by war and chaos. In this new world, countless other players have been summoned from various games and forced to do battle.
The moment he arrives, Masaki is put on the execution block. If he wants to escape, he'll have to call on his powers—a collection of GM-only skills that even cheaters can't replicate.
The Game Master has Logged In to Another World Volume 1 (ebook)
Released December 28, 2020 — ASIN: B08MWQLP6M
This last title from Sol Press was on the most recent Tankobon ranking in Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi. It's a play on the reluctant character just trying to get others to listen to him when he says he's no good and wants to quit.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party
The golden age has dawned for treasure hunters, who raid treasure vaults all over the world in search of glory, despite the dangers. Immeasurable wealth, fame, and power await those who prevail.
"Let's be treasure hunters!"
This promise between Krai Andrey and his friends came to a sad conclusion when young Krai realized he didn't have a treasure-hunting bone in his body. Yet for some reason, people's expectations of Krai continued to grow—as did the danger to his life. While his friends became greater, greedier beasts, Krai mastered the art of begging and pleading!
Witness the weal and woe of a man who just wants to retire.
Let This Grieving Soul Retire! Woe is the Weakling Who Leads the Strongest Party Volume 1 (ebook)
Released December 28, 2020 — ASIN: B08MVT1H5R
The last debut of the month comes from Yen On. It sees an accomplished assassin from our world being reborn into a new world. The twist, the family he's been reborn into is also a long line of assassins!
I confess, I wasn't as excited for this title until I was given a little more insight into why the main character has been summoned. I won't spoil things, but I am far more interested in checking this one out now!
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World
When a great assassin is reborn in another world, he finds himself the heir to a long line of killers from the shadows. With both his modern-day knowledge and experience and the special magic and techniques of this new world, he could very well become the most unstoppable assassin in history…!
The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World Volume 1 (paperback/ebook)
So those are all the series making their debut during the month of December, 2020. Which ones are you looking forward to?
I'll see you in 2021 with the January premieres!

Welp, I've read the manga of world finest assasin reincarnation, and it was suck.
Having the supposed be THE world finest assasin getting reincarnated ONLY to get some super OP MAGIC cheat plus super EARTH KNOWLEDGE truly breaks the premise of the whole story. What is the point of him being an assasin in his previous life? How did he get those whole darn knowledge? Are those even necessary for an assasin. Well, it's just another stupid isekai, better go look for something else….
Ok, thats enough rant from me.
JustusRStone
I'm sorry to hear that. I thought that at least the reason he was brought to the other world (no spoilers) would make up for the typical OP MC aspect. Oh well….
Yeah, but at least the art was cool.

With 10 bedrooms spread out over two individual properties, Baan Thamarchat is a great bet for large group retreats in Koh Phangan. It boasts all the essentials that you'd expect of a luxury property, like immaculate service, beautiful living spaces and modern amenities. The villa's emerald surroundings, close proximity to the beach and gorgeous pavilions crafted out of natural materials add on to its tropical charms.
A total of 10 bedrooms are spread out across two standalone villas.
Baan Ya Kha houses 10 guests in five bedrooms. Each room feels warm and cosy thanks to its soothing cream hues, and come fitted with fans and air conditioners. The rooms are spread out across three bungalows: the first bungalow features two bedrooms with king beds and a bathroom, the second features two bedrooms (one with king bed and the other outfitted with twin singles) and a bathroom and the third contains a bedroom with private en suite.
The remaining five bedrooms are set in Baan Yai. Three of the rooms are set on the ground floor; two are outfitted with a king bed, air conditioner, TV and private en suite while the third features twin beds, air conditioners and a TV set. The upper floor bedroom boasts king beds, sofas, air conditioned interiors, fans and smart TV sets. The media lounge may be converted into a sixth bedroom to house two extra guests.
Make a splash in one of the two swimming pools. The first, located in Baan Ya Kha, features an indoor-outdoor design. It takes a free form shape, and flows from the garden into the living pavilion. A non-chlorine pool system keeps the waters free of harsh chemicals. Or take a dip in the pool at Baan Yai. Just like the swimming pool at Baan Ya Kha, it boasts a free form shape, and comes equipped with a child-friendly shallow wading area and pool benches.
Both outdoor compounds are spacious and inviting, offer recliners and are set against a picture-perfect environment.
Each standalone villa features capacious living areas with indoor-outdoor designs and an earthy colour scheme.
At Baan Ya Kha, the living spaces wrap around the pool and outdoor compound. The living area feels bright and airy, and boasts a lounge, kitchen and dining area set in an open plan layout. Recline against the L-shaped sofa for a siesta, whip up a snack or cocktail in the open kitchen or tuck into a meal while seated at the communal dining bench.
Baan Yai's living spaces differ slightly in its decor - while its interiors are similarly awash in neutral hues and are built for indoor-outdoor living, the lounge, kitchen and dining area are clustered in one section of the villa away from the bedrooms. There's also a media room with convertible king sofa and 50-inch flat screen TV; it can also double up as a spare bedroom to accommodate two extra guests.
Baan Tharmarchat enjoys all the essentials that come with being a luxury property - there's daily housekeeping, pool and garden maintenance and CCTVs installed through the compound to keep it secure. Services available at additional cost include: private chef, in-villa spa treatments and Thai cooking classes.
Nestled away in a coconut grove, the property is just a skip away from local amenities and restaurants, and is about 10 minutes' drive from Thongsala, the main town of Koh Phangan. There's a 24/7 7-11 store just 200 metres away, and a pharmacy and bakery are easily within reach. Great dining options located just a quick drive away include Romanzo Tropicale, L'Alcôve and Belgian Beer Bar.
The nearest beach is just two minutes' walk from your villa. Its tranquil setting appeals to villa vacationers seeking to spend hours relaxing by the coast, but for a livelier beach ambience, take a 20-25 minutes drive to Haad Rin Beach. As the hotspot in town, the coast comes lined with numerous dining and nightlife options, and is the venue for the island's monthly Full Moon party.
Your villa manager will readily assist with engaging a yoga instructor for private in-villa sessions. But if you prefer the vibes and setting of a group session, drop-in classes are available at Orion Healing Center (three minutes' drive), Gaia Yogashala Koh Phangan (five minutes' drive), Samma Karuna Yoga (seven minutes' drive) and The Yoga Retreat (12 minutes' drive).

The Cape Town Tourism (CTT) Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms Julie-May Ellingson and Ms Wahida Parker as Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson, respectively.
Ms Ellingson is Chief Executive Officer of the Cape Town International Convention Centre (CTICC) and is an Urban & Regional Planner and Development Economist by profession.

Under her leadership, the CTICC has achieved record-breaking revenues and doubled its investment in community initiatives.
"I look forward to working with the management team in building on the success of Cape Town Tourism. Today's tough economic conditions require us to be even more innovative in our approach and to use all resources at our disposal effectively. This includes twinning with other world class destinations and the enhanced use of technology to the benefit of our members, who make Cape Town, the incredible destination it is." – Julie-May Ellingson
Newly-elected vice-chairperson Wahida Parker is an admitted attorney, internationally accredited mediator and coach. Her leadership at one of the world's most iconic attractions is focused on ensuring that all South Africans get to experience Table Mountain at least once in their lives.

I relish the challenge that this brings and look forward to enhancing the offering to the membership and Cape Town in general.

We are indeed fortunate as Cape Town Tourism to have committed, passionate and high-calibre business executives like them leading us into the future." Enver Duminy, CEO, Cape TownTourism.

Mow for Moore
Dyllon Orthman, and eleven-year-old from Dalhart,Texas, spent two months of his summer mowing nearly ninety lawns to raise money for the victims of a tornado in Moore, Oklahoma. "I help them because they need the money, and they help me because it makes me feel good," he said. The idea started when he wanted to bring in $20 for the school fundraiser and his mother, Kristi, told him he could get the $20 from mowing lawns. Now $16,000 later, they are donating every penny to OK Strong, a disaster relief organization that has partnered with FEMA.
"I want to thank everybody who helped me," Dyllon said. "Especially my mom, dad, and sister. We had a lot of fun and laughter."
