FX Gives 'What We Do In The Shadows' A Season 2
By The Movie God | @ | Wednesday, May 8th, 2019 at 5:00 pm
FX has ordered a season two for its vampire comedy series What We Do in the Shadows, which is based on Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi's movie of the same name.
The show's debut season kicked off on March 31st, and is currently six episodes in with the seventh episode, titled "The Trial," set to air on FX later tonight. You can find much more on the show and the season two order below.
Here's the full announcement from the press release:
Bust out the crepe paper! FX has renewed its hit verité vampire comedy series What We Do in the Shadows for a second season, it was announced today by Nick Grad and Eric Schrier, Presidents of Original Programming, FX Networks and FX Productions. Four new episodes remain in season one with the finale set for Wednesday, May 29th, and season two will debut in 2020.
"Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi and Paul Simms have more than delivered on the high expectations of Shadows fans by adapting the cult classic for television and building a passionate base of new and returning fans," said Grad. "We also want to thank the rest of the creative team, including Scott Rudin, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush, and the incredible cast and crew for delivering such a fun and original series, and we look forward to working with them all on season two."
What We Do in the Shadows returns tomorrow night, Wednesday, May 8 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on FX with an extraordinary lineup of guest vampires in "The Trial." Featuring a surprise line-up of all-star guest stars, tomorrow night's seventh episode finds Nandor (Kayvan Novak), Laszlo (Matt Berry) and Nadja (Natasia Demetriou) on trial before an international vampire tribunal who gather to judge them for the death of Baron Afanas. Written by Jemaine Clement; Directed by Taika Waititi.
Season one of What We Do in the Shadows is Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes (Tomatometer 95%).
Among 34 cable comedy series in 2019 to date, What We Do in the Shadows (through the first five episodes) ranks in the Top 5 across the board, including #4 in Adults 18-34 and #5 in Adults 18-49 and Total Viewers. Across all platforms and airings, inclusive of streaming and VOD, What We Do in the Shadows (through the first five episodes) has generated an audience of 2.81 million Total Viewers.
Based on the feature film of the same name from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, What We Do in the Shadows is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who've "lived" together for hundreds of years. In Staten Island.
The self-appointed leader of the group is Nandor The Relentless (Kayvan Novak), a great warrior and conqueror from the Ottoman Empire, who has taken the helm of the group despite many of his Old World tactics resulting in what some might politely refer to as bupkis. Then there's the British vampire Laszlo (Matt Berry) – a bit of a rogue and a dandy and a fop, he might say. He's a lover of mischief and a great soirée, but not as much as he loves seeing Nandor fail miserably in every attempt. And then there's Nadja (Natasia Demetriou): the seductress, the temptress, the vampiric Bonnie to Laszlo's Clyde. Her wisdom and provocative tales from times past allow us insight into the many ups and downs of living an immortal life.
Also cohabiting in the vampire household is Guillermo (Harvey Guillén), Nandor's familiar (a.k.a. servant/protector during the daylight hours), who wants nothing more than to be made a real vampire just like his master. Also lurking about is Colin Robinson (Mark Proksch), an energy vampire and day-walker of sorts — he feasts on humans, but not on their blood. A frequent visitor is Nadja's new friend, Jenna (Beanie Feldstein), a student at a nearby community college. She loves LARPing, boys, and art history, and for some reason has been rather confused lately as to why it is she so ravenously craves the flesh of the living.
After an unexpected visit from their dark lord and leader, Baron Afanas, the vampires are reminded of what they were initially tasked with upon their arrival in Staten Island over a hundred years ago – total and complete domination of the New World. But what exactly is the best way to go about achieving said domination? Our vérité camera crew follows along as the vampires set out to answer this query.
Clement created the 10-episode first season of the series. Clement, Waititi and Paul Simms are Executive Producers with Scott Rudin, Garrett Basch and Eli Bush. What We Do in the Shadows is produced by FX Productions and stars Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guillén and Mark Proksch.

Localization map of the Dissimieux Project
15 mining claims covering 8.4 km2, 100%-held by Genius
Located within the Dissimieux Lake P-Ti-REE's property, province of Québec
Accessible via Provincial Highway #138 from Forestville, then driving northward on Highway #385 to Labrieville, and from there using a network of secondary gravel forestry roads to reach the east-southeast shore of Dissimieux Lake.
Historical Resources: 235 million tonnes @ 3.65% P2O5 and 4.72% TiO2 *
*A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves; and the Issuer is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
The Property hosts titanium-phosphate (ilmenite-apatite) mineralization located near the southern margin of the La Blache Anorthositic Complex (the "LBAC").
Rocks from the Dissimieux property occur on the margin of the Grenvillian anorthositic De La Blache massif. The De La Blache mafic plutonic suite (1327±16 Ma) forms a plurikilometric elongated massif composed of five units principally formed by anorthosite with accompanying leucotroctolites, troctolites, norites and gabbronorites. The marginal gabbroic facies constitutes the northwest boundary of the massif. At Dissimieux, anorthosite and massive and highly deformed slivers of norites are oriented NE to SW. Intercalated between the gabbros and anorthosites several fragments of metasedimentary gneiss are present. The southern margin of the De la Blache massif is composed of fine-grained magnetic gabbros. Metasedimentary rocks, anorthosites and deformed norites are in contact with the gabbroic rocks. Within the anorthosite and noritic rocks, oxide-rich layers (magnetite, ilmenite or hematite) with apatite occur.
Historical Works
Only regional geophysical surveying and geological mapping has been carried out on the Property area before AFCAN Mining Corporation ("AFCAN"), formerly known as Société d'exploration Minière et pétrolière Gaspésie, staked the original claims. AFCAN completed detailed mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys over the original property (Pritchard, 1994,; GM53348; Birkett, 1995 and 1996; GM 53515 and GM 54835; Oswald and Birkett, 1996; GM 54764). A drill program of 8 holes totalling 637.5 m on two sections was also carried out in 1994 by AFCAN (GM 53349).
Ilmenite-apatite concentrations were traced along a 6 km a northeast-southwest corridor, up to 1 km wide, near the south shore of Dissimieux Lake. The mineralization is hosted in several 20 m to 50 m-wide bands composed of finely disseminated magmatic apatite and ilmenite, associated with gabbro. The magnetite-ilmenite assemblage is linked to a magnetic high anomaly. The average grades calculated from surface sampling was 5% TiO2 and 3.5% P2O5 (corresponding to 10% apatite). The average grades from the core samples were 4.72% TiO2 and 3.65% P2O5, with high values of 8.35% TiO2 and 4.42% P2O5. Zones characterized by lower intensity magnetic anomalies retained higher TiO2 grades but were lower in P2O5.
Lakefield Research of Canada Ltd. ("Lakefield") (1997; GM 54867; 1998; GM 56490), COREM (2000; GM 58571) and Lakefield (2000; GM 58570) assessed the feasibility of concentrating the titanium and phosphate. Lakefield achieved recoveries of 92 % for apatite to produce a concentrate at 41. 2 % P2O5, and recovered 62.5 % of the ilmenite to produce a concentrate of 48.1% TiO2 from an initial a sample containing 3.5 % P2O5 and 5.4 % TiO2. It was concluded at the time that the higher the TiO2 and P2O5 grades in rocks, the higher the recoveries in concentrates.
In 2012- 2013 Jourdan drilled 34 holes at Dissimieux Lake, for a total of 3949 m, demonstrating mineralization over a strike length of 2.4 kilometres. Five parallel zones of phosphate mineralization were intersected, often containing mineralization > 100m in apparent drilled thickness.
A target resources of 235 million tonnes were estimated at a grade of 3.65% P2O5 and 4.72% TiO2 based on the drill core results (Met-Chem, 2000, in GM58569). The estimate is considered historic Mineral Resources*.
The last major work on the Property involved the Met-Chem scoping study (2000, in GM 58569). Met-Chem indicated the ilmenite-phosphate mineralization was amenable to open-pit mining with a 1:1 waste to ore. It was proposed to transport the concentrate via a pipeline at a cost of $3.28 per tonne based on a yearly transport of 457,500 tonnes of concentrate (217,500 tonnes of ilmenite and 240,000 tonnes of apatite) over a distance of 140 km.
*A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves; and Genius Metals is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.

'Disintegration, focalisation and the politics of mega-identity in the performances of Marie Jones's "A Night in November" and Anna Deavere Smith's "Let Me Down Easy"'
Tom Maguire
School of Arts & Humanities
In this paper, I explore how the figures of the storyworld can be presented, by examining the performance strategies in Anna Deavere Smith's "Lay Me Down Easy" and in Marie Jones's "Stones in his Pockets". As Birch observes, 'Through verbal and nonverbal clues, effective storytellers bring out the nuances, both large and small, which delineate the characters within the story ' (1996: 119). Such strategies of characterisation are fundamentally metonymic in storytelling. However, the choice of specific details to depict a character may draw on characteristics associated with specific social groups, invoking issues of identity and power. The sense in which characterisation is then dependent not just on the performance strategies but on the ways in which these are read by the spectator becomes an important issue in understanding what is at stake when a teller represents someone from a group other than her own.

Washington [US], December 2 (ANI): Hollywood star Dakota Johnson recently revealed that she inked her co-star Olivia Colman after a dance party with the cast.
According to People magazine, Johnson told a magazine that after the October New York Film Festival screening of the film, which also stars Peter Sarsgaard, the cast bonded at the Altro Paradiso in Soho with a rock-inspired playlist that included "a lot of Talking Heads, the Cranberries."That same night, she also convinced Colman to let her give the actress her first stick-and-poke tattoo. "Maybe it was me being completely seduced by this gorgeous person and wanting her to think I was cool. Or maybe it was my midlife crisis," Colman shared.
As for the dance party that came beforehand, Johnson said that revellers were relishing in post-vaccine life. "The thing is, people are not behaving normally. If you go to a party, you f------ rage," Johnson said.
The 'Fifty Shades of Grey' alum revealed the cast's dance party tradition started at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado earlier this year. She said Netflix offered to pay for a cast dinner party, but 'The Lost Daughter writer' and director Maggie Gyllenhaal had something else in mind.
"Maggie was like, 'Instead of having a dinner, let's have a dance party,'" recalled Johnson.
The actor revealed cast and crew from other movies playing at the festival were also invited to the bash, including 'The Power of the Dog' stars Kirsten Dunst and Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnson's former 'Fifty Shades of Grey' co-star Jamie Dornan.
Since its debut at film festivals, 'The Lost Daughter' has generated a wave of awards buzz.
Adapted from Elena Ferrante's novel of the same name, the movie stars Colman as a literature professor and mother of two grown daughters who goes on an extended vacation in Greece. While there, she encounters a vacationing family and a young mother who reminds her of her own dark experiences with parenthood.
"The film is about a lot of things, but one of the things that this film is about is how complicated it is to be a mother, so I don't think I could have really have explored those things and all of the complications without knowing that my family was taken care of," Gyllenhaal told People magazine at the Gotham Awards.
The Lost Daughter will be in select theatres from December 17 and available to stream on Netflix starting December 31. (ANI)

Producer for the album is Jamaican Singer/Songwriter/Producer Sadiki, who also does a dual role as Recording and Mixing Engineer. "Doing this album was a great journey into an area of Jamaican Music that had it's heyday in Jamaica, a bit before my time," said Sadiki. "I'd always been a fan of Ska, but I became even more involved when I was asked to manage Mr. Morris back in early 2010. My hope for this release is that it helps to not only kick-start the fourth wave of the Ska music genre, but that it also helps to put some of the spotlight back upon traditional Ska music.
There were some challenges involved in producing the album, the major one being recreating classic songs with an updated feel so that they captivate a new audience, yet making certain that Morris' tried and true fans would be appreciative of the new recordings. "I believe that we've hit the mark," said Sadiki. The album's eleven tracks were chosen on the basis of their popularity and how well they fit into the all-around vision for the album. European and U.K. performances are scheduled for mid-April. Through a worldwide distribution deal with Zojak Worldwide, "The Living Legends Collection – Eric Monty Morris" will be released in digital format on 3.29.11.

Social and Meetings Diary
For almost 50 years, CAMRA has worked to support pubs, real ale, breweries, and cider producers. However, the outbreak of coronavirus (COVID-19) has made public safety of paramount importance.
It is our duty to follow the Government's guidelines to safeguard everyone's health and well-being, which is why we are withdrawing from all social and public events until the situation improves.
CAMRA, as a consumer organisation, will continue to work closely with the brewing and pub industries in the very difficult times that lie ahead.
We have an interesting number of social events throughout the year, including brewery visits, minibus trips to some of our excellent country pubs, walks around towns and much, much more. For more information on any of them, or to book a place on a bus trip, e-mail our social secretary or click the bus by the trip you are interested in.

WACO, Texas (Oct. 26, 2016) – The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recently released its report, "Household Food Insecurity in the United States in 2015." The report shows a significant decline in the national food-insecurity rate, from 14 percent to 12.7 percent in one year, which means that millions more people throughout the nation now have access to food.
Jeremy Everett, M.Div., is director of Baylor University's Texas Hunger Initiative (THI). In 2014, he was appointed by Congress to serve for a year on the National Commission on Hunger, which was charged with providing policy recommendations to Congress regarding programs and funds to combat domestic hunger and food insecurity.
In this Q&A, Everett discusses the report, food insecurity in the nation and in Texas, and which campaigns and efforts are working to reduce the number of people going without meals.
Q: After looking at the report, and with your knowledge of national and statewide efforts, what are some of the most effective strategies that you are seeing emerge?
A: In part, the significant decline in food insecurity in the United States is due to a strengthening economy. We know that is one of the key indicators, since food insecurity is largely an economic measure. So the lower food-insecurity numbers could indicate that more people are employed and gainfully employed.
We also know that efforts such as THI's public and private partnership model – where we are building collaboration and facilitating coordination between federal, state and local government agencies, nonprofit organizations, congregations and the corporate sector – seems to be moving the needle considerably. We are doing a better job of utilizing both public and private programs and making them more efficiently available while also saving taxpayer money and reducing the need for bureaucratic spending.
Q: Are federal initiatives driving the change, or are you seeing state initiatives as the primary drivers?
A: Actually, it seems to be both. The way we at THI have been working on the federal, state and local levels simultaneously have helped us bring about much more strategic collaboration. The USDA has strategically aligned across its sectors to work more closely with state and local organizations. Similarly, state and local organizations are collaborating to fill gaps and meet needs of individuals and families. School districts, for example, have really started to step up and make sure kids have access to two to three school meals a day and are also becoming more engaged in summer meals.
Q: What does food insecurity look like in Texas?
A: It depends on where you live. Along the Texas and Mexico border, the driving reason for food insecurity is often immigration status. When people do not have legal documentation, they are unable to be employed legally. Oftentimes, they are employed under the table and not paid a good wage. When that happens, they do not have health insurance and they are not going to qualify for federal nutrition programs or federal welfare-related programs. A direct result of that is food insecurity.
In some larger urban areas, places like Austin, Houston and Dallas, food insecurity can be a result of rising housing costs. We know that in the state of Texas we have the most minimum-wage paying jobs – which full-time only pays $12,000-$15,000 a year – so it's hard to feed an individual on that, much less a family. We also know that people with minimum-wage jobs rarely get full-time hours. So, the issue in Texas is not so much unemployment as it is underemployment.
Q: The report shows that there are 9.8 million households in Texas and the food-insecurity rate in the state is 15.4 percent. That's still higher than the national average, but it reveals a significant decrease from the rate of 17.2 percent in 2014. What's happening in Texas to account for millions more people transitioning from food insecurity to food security?
When THI started in 2009, 18.5 percent of Texas households were food-insecure. The USDA report shows that number has declined to 15.4 percent. That is a significant decline. We know that that has a direct correlation to our strengthening economy. We also know that the work THI has done with public and private partnerships has corresponded to a reduced percentage of food insecurity in Texas. These partnerships have created better access to childhood nutrition programs when kids are in and out of school, better utilization of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program and so on. These are big reasons why we have seen some of the biggest reduction in the country happening in Texas, and we are thrilled that our efforts are making a difference.
Q: Can you explain what it's like for a family to move from food insecurity to food security?
A: Often, if people have to choose what to spend money on – whether it is housing or transportation or food – they know that they have to pay their rent and they need to continue to pay transportation costs so they can continue to get back and forth to work. So, food ends up being one of those things they typically find to be negotiable.
The transition means that families who were previously unable to afford adequate meals for themselves or their family members can now do so. With that in mind, less food insecurity also means more people are able to afford other things as well. They may be able to pay their rent and mortgage payments in a timely manner and afford transportation. It might mean that they can afford adequate childcare or that they can pay for their medications. That's a big step in the right direction. Of course, that is going to mean different things for different family makeups, but we are excited about that.
Q: Obviously, there is still a lot of work to do. What are some of the successful programs THI has developed these past few years that you feel will continue to drive progress?
A: Essentially, we've gotten the majority of people and organizations working to address the issue of hunger in Texas to collaborate more. We have been able to identify the gaps in our state, and we have been able to address those gaps; we have been able to identify duplication of services and reduce them.
An example of that is the community partner program where we recruited and trained 1,400 community-based organizations to utilize Texas' online benefits application to help individuals and families and apply for benefits and resources. In doing so, the Texas Health and Human Services Commission was able to close 99 regional offices. We now have more places for people to be able to access federal nutrition programs as well as Medicaid, Medicare and the Children's Health Insurance Program, at a reduced cost to the state. Not only does this program provide more efficient access to much needed resources, it often yields other benefits.
It's also appropriate to highlight the work we are doing with summer meals participation. THI has developed business models to strengthen summer meals sponsoring organizations that either make the meals or do the contractual work on the behalf of the USDA or Texas Department of Agriculture. We have also recruited sites – churches, congregations, nonprofits – strategically located in low-income neighborhoods. This has resulted in an increase in over 2,000 summer meals sites in Texas, as well as an increase of 21 million more meals to children over the past several summers.
Q: Looking forward, and armed with the numbers in the report, what's on the horizon for THI?
A: Though we have seen a reduction in food insecurity, we still have a level of food insecurity that is higher than the national average and is just absurdly high for a state with one of the fastest-growing economies in the country, with one of the strongest economies in the world. The kind of disparity of wealth we have in Texas is unacceptable. THI will continue to work to reduce food insecurity as well as working on the issue of poverty so that we can build stronger public and private partnerships, knowing that we work better together and collaborate with experts in their respective fields, across disciplines and sectors.
The challenge is too big for any one entity or sector to be ultimately responsible. We all have to do our part in order to meet those needs, whether we are working on a local level, a state level or a federal level. It is all our collective responsibility. We would love to see our top elected officials playing a part in it, but if they don't, then we need to step up to fill that void.
Jeremy Everett, M.Div., is director of the Texas Hunger Initiative, a capacity-building project within Baylor University. In 2014, he was appointed by Congress to serve for a year on the National Commission on Hunger. Jeremy holds a bachelor's degree from Samford University and a Master of Divinity from Baylor University. He has worked for international and community development organizations as a teacher, religious leader, community organizer, fundraiser and organic farmer.
The Texas Hunger Initiative (THI) at Baylor University is a capacity-building and collaborative project, which develops and implements strategies to end hunger through policy, education, research, community organizing and community development. THI works to make the state food secure by ensuring that every individual has access to three healthy meals a day, seven days a week. THI convenes federal, state and local government stakeholders with nonprofits, faith communities and business leaders to create an efficient system of accountability that increases food security in Texas. THI's work to increase participation in school breakfast programs is supported by No Kid Hungry. Along with its office located within the Diana R. Garland School of Social Work at Baylor, THI has offices located in Austin, Dallas, El Paso, Houston, Lubbock, McAllen and San Angelo.


Ikea, the Swedish king of small space furniture and home decor, has unveiled their 2012 catalog.
It's 374 pages fat and this time there's an iPhone-app version of it.
Later this month you'll be able to find an iPad one as well, if you use one of those.
To me, this year's catalog and Ikea's growth is proof that folks in general are downsizing.
People are interested in moving into smaller, smarter places.
That's what's on the front cover in bold.
Inside you see examples of a living room with a bunk bed over the couch.
A kitchen and dining area surrounded by three bunk beds.
Various examples of vertical space being utilized with shelving.
The spokeswoman for Ikea mentioned how one of their focuses has been to lower prices.
In addition they're working on ways to make things easier for people. For example, the company's working on a couch that can fit in the backseat of a car.
They're also exploring methods to create sturdy furniture while using less materials.
If you enjoyed this post do me a quick favor and share it with your friends on Facebook and Twitter. And if you already haven't, sign up for our email newsletter to be the first to get more cool updates similar to this.
[+] Download and view Ikea's 2012 Catalog on small spaces right now.
I signed up for your awesome posts within the last six months and just came across this one. However, the link to the IKEA catalog now features the 2013 edition. I would love to have a copy of the 2012 edition featuring small spaces. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of it? Thanks!

The second Mordheim ruin I was renovating is finished.
Originally seen here it was one I'd used polyfilla on to give texture.
But I wasn't happy with merely touching the paint work up, I decided to go on a proper overhaul.
So Byakhee Rich provided some flaming braziers for the door, which itself was painted marble white, as was the second storey window, and the tiles were red rather than grey.
Part of the second floor flooring had become damaged and hung at an angle, but I left it like that deliberately.
I also added some paving outside the front of the house.
By coincidence, I was watching a certain show when i realised this ruin had ended up looking similar to one of the locations.
Points awarded for guessing which comedy I was watching.
Jack Dee: Points will be awarded, and what do points mean ?
Audience: POINTS MEAN PRIZES !
Brucie bonus point for what show that comes from.
Whilst I was at it, I also finished off some more gaudy baubles.
It's from ISIHAC which I've been listening to since it started (round about the Norman Conquest).
AOS, on the other hand? Not the slightest idea – must be a generation thing.
Well done Doug, and we here at "Just a Miniature" that we just love playing here, and across the globe loved your intervention so we'll give you the bonus point, but I'm afraid you haven't identified the comedy show I was watching, so under the rules of "Just a Miniature" it's not hesitation, deviation, repetition or procrastination…so we'll have to leave the game open as we do so love playing this game here and across the world….
And Samantha tells me that she's just going out to help clean top some aged Smegma from her latest gentleman who denies he is a Space Marine.
– Nicholas "Lead Head" Parsons…..
Sim1213 is this week's winner of "Just a Miniature", the games we love playing here, and across the globe.
I'll be sending Samantha round with some Oregano.

Comb of the Wind
Pintxo-hopping in San Sebastián
Monte Igueldo
Victoria Eugenia Theatre
It's easy to explore San Sebastian, the city of three mountains, three beaches, one island, and one river. Above and beyond its natural beauty, the capital of the province of Gipuzkoa has forged its own charm with enviable architecture, quality of life, and a world-renowned culinary reputation.
Sixteen Michelin stars, a culinary university, pintxos (miniature haute cuisine creations), two protected designation of origin products (Idiazabal cheese and txokoli wine of Getaria) served at some of the world's finest restaurants, farmers markets that delight the senses, and a wide range of top-quality natural products. For these reasons and many more that you'll discover when you come here, San Sebastian is a genuine foodies' paradise.
Run, pedal, surf, skate, gallop, sail, or score a basket! San Sebastian loves all types of sports, as long as they can be enjoyed outdoors along with the beautiful surroundings. With views around every corner of the city, sports are an authentic pleasure here. It's no wonder that so many exciting events are hosted here (marathon, Behobia-San Sebastian foot race, San Sebastian Cycling Classic, Donosti Cup, sailing regatta, horse races, International Chess Open), in addition to a countless number of popular events throughout the year. It's the healthiest way to explore the city.
San Sebastian was selected by the Spanish Royal family in the early 20th century as their summer residence. Today it is still the perfect place for the most demanding traveller. A five-star hotel overlooking the Urumea river, three exquisite restaurants boasting three Michelin stars each, top-of- the-line shops, a stunningly beautiful natural setting and a long list of institutions and resources of international acclaim (Chillida Leku Museum, Cristóbal Balenciaga Museum, La Perla Thalassotherapy Spa) make the city a destination for travellers looking for five-star luxuries.
Waves of energy lapped the shores of San Sebastian in 2016 as the city played host to the European Capital of Culture. The city saw more cultural events, exhibitions, concerts, festivals, creative encounters and, above all, cultural networking than ever before. There were more spaces open to inspiration, creation and reflection across all sectors of society. But the fact is that the city has been bathed in culture for a very long time – with every sculpture by Chillida, Oteiza or Basterretxea, with the International film Festival, with Musikene, the Higher School of Music, with Tabakalera, the International Center for Contemporary Culture, with the Orfeon Donostiarra choir, and with the San Telmo Museum. The result: a creative and inspiring city.
Donostia corners
Plaza de la Constitución and the Old Town
Plaza de la Constitución is San Sebastian's old town square.
La Concha Bay
La Concha Bay is one of the city's most recognizable landmarks.
In 1893 Queen Maria Cristina and her royal entourage began to summer in San Sebastian, making the city the resort of choice for royalty.
Sagüés
Sagüés, at the far end of the Gros neighbourhood, is the epicentre of the surf scene on the Côte Basque.
The swells rise up forcing water through holes in the ground and creating a geyser affect.

I froze Zomm in a PVP match.
Silly me thought that meant he was still frozen, he wasn't, and I lost.
Please make it so ice doesn't hang around after the heroes unfreeze.
Hey @danac. Do you have a video of this happening? I believe you, but I'm not able to get it to happen in my game, so this is most likely a corner case bug.
I run into this often when I use or face a Selwyn. His ice tower remain, blocking views even when guys unfreeze.
@Joel this has been happening on and off for quite a while. I'm not sure exactly when it started, but I started noticing it around the time 2x speed was introduced.
It's hard to get a video of it, because the Frozen effect disappears when it should when you watch a replay. The visual effect of the ice staying past the expiration of Frozen only happens during the actual match.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think I've only experienced this issue with heroes who are able to counter attack or do followup attacks (Hansuke, Beast teams, etc.). Zomm would fit with that, obviously.
@Sockless and @ScoutYo, you might be talking about different visual effects. Sockless is talking about the ice from Selwyn's Northern Gale. That visual effect stays around for the entire battle, but isn't related to heroes being frozen. I can see how that could be confusing though and will bring it up to the team. ScoutYo, you seem to be talking about the actual Frozen visual effect. I'll do some experiments and see if I can get it to happen.
Yep it happens to a lot of visuals like death after res on two times speed. Once they die and are instantly ressed and someone else uses an ability right after, it's too fast for the animation and it looks like people are dead with health bars.
Also semi-related is Agnon's health bar disappears completely and even holding on him wont bring it back for a couple turns. Mostly happens in the tower.
@MrTheWaffleKing, you're the first to mention it happening with a hero being instantly resurrected. @danac, did anything like that happen in your battle?
@Joel Yup, I'm talking about the actual Frozen effect (from heroes like Valkin, Igorok, etc.).
Also, I think @MrTheWaffleKing is just referring to other visual issues he has seen.
Yep it's visual but it has to do with animations being canceled because of 2x speed. It's also hard to target the "dead" people.
since Zomm was frozen turn one, there were no resurrections.
But the frozen visual effect remained.
One more thing: If I'm paying attention to the match, I can check the tabs over the hero, and the frozen tab will have disappeared even tho the visual effect remains.
But I think it's unfair to ask me to pay attention to what I'm doing.
I have lost many pvp battles thinking Zomm was frozen (because of the ice surrounding him) but we wasn't since he didn't have the snowflake icon above him. I have tried to learn to check for the icon, but forget once in a while. I'll take a screen shot next time I see it.
Hey @Moschophoros. Was your team attacking or defending? If defending, what was the name of the player attacking? I'm going to see if this is related to runes.
@Joel I was using my alt account: kriophoros. I was the attacker. I am using an android tablet for that account (if that ends up being a factor). I could not reproduce the glitch on my main account (moschophoros) which uses an iphone.
Also, the replay does not have the visual glitch.
In fairness, there can be a ton of icons hovering over heroes' heads. Sometimes I've seen so many icons above Goretusk that it actually overlaps with the enemy's on the other side of the screen.
I've had this happen nearly every time I face Agnon in the tower now. No health bar at all.

While standing in line to get into this vigil with my husband, who was newly knighted, someone who had jumped line to get in front of us** turned around and started chatting with us. This person glanced at me, looked me up and down and then turned so that she practically had her back to me and started chatting up my husband. Now it's possible that she was just rude.. and chatting up any man was her goal.. but I very much got the feeling that as a non-peer, non-pointy-hat I wasn't worth her time. Even though I had all the same knowledge as I would have 3 months later when I received my offer.. without the medallion it was not instantly obvious that I was "worth her time".
What's to dislike: At all times, especially when I wear the medallion, I represent "all Laurels" and even sometimes "all peers".
If I have a bad day, if my son is especially whiny, if I have a migraine, if I'm preoccupied then I become that story about "all peers are mean because a peer once frowned at me and marched off without acknowledging my presence" or whatever basic "I'm having a bad day and you are not my priority" thing happened.
This also manifests in that I have to be careful to point out when I actually don't know what I'm talking about on a subject lest someone assume that "of course she knows, she's a Laurel". Despite tales to the contrary, receiving the medallion does not actually give me instant access to ALL THE KNOWLEDGE IN THE KNOWN WORLD (not even when I hold it up to my third eye).
"Of course you can do XYZ, Sylvie did it and she's a Laurel". I AM NOT DOCUMENTATION. I do things that I know are wrong. Even though I try to carefully call out any places where I've strayed away from the perfect impression it's not possible for me to start every conversation with a pile of disclaimers.
There are folks who will give me more respect/deferential treatment now after I have the medallion than they did before I had the medallion. I am no more or less worthy for having received the medallion. I believe everyone should be treated with respect.. and treating someone with MORE respect because they have a peerage means that they are treating people who don't have a peerage with less respect. Frankly I see it as a failing on their part.
There is another set of folks, these folks specifically are folks who don't have the medallion who I feel are hunting the medallion. Those folks now go out of their way to seek me out to show me their new project. This is good in that as I wrote in my post about "Becoming a Laurel" they should be the PR agent for their projects.. but it's bad because they should be PRing to EVERYONE. PRing to only folks on the Laurel counsel looks very self-serving. As in "I am showing you my project so you can mention me and I can get that medallion" not "I am showing you my project because I'm genuinely excited about it and you happened to be sitting still and I am too excited about it to not talk about it". To me this again is an example of the medallion giving instant recognition.
My vigil advice to all new peer has been "this medallion/ceremony does not MAKE you anything. This just acknowledges that the Crown and counsel have finally noticed that you embody this ideal and They are finally giving you the Tchotchke to recognize this".
*A little bit of interkingdom anthropology, in the West at a vigil there will usually be a book where you sign onto the list to get in line to go visit the person on vigil. Once you're signed onto the list you wander around in the vigil hang out area, eat the provided munchies, drink the provided drinks and socialize with everyone else until the holder of the book calls your name. In Artemsia you get into an ACTUAL line which forms outside the vigil tent and stand there until you either get in or give up and leave. You then socialize with the people 1-2 people in front of or behind you.
**While standing in line people who are higher rank will jump line and get in front of lower ranked people. The same thing happens with the list on paper.. but at least then you're mostly unaware of it since the list is over there (vague wave) on paper and not a literal queue of people where someone who is very impressed with themselves jumps into line in front of you and loudly announces they outrank you and get to go first.
In my opinion, one of the requirements of the job is that I get to/have to attend the Laurel meeting. It's totally true that you can receive the accolade and then skip all the meetings, but to me that would be wrong.
What's to like: I get to attend the super secret meeting and speak with an equal voice and suggest people who should join our very select club and offer my opinion about candidates. I also get a heads up of names of artists I should watch and I get to help them grow in their art.
What's to dislike: The meeting is the one more thing. I need to pack up my encampment after a long hot/dusty/wet/cold camping event and I still have to drive home and instead of doing that I'm attending a meeting. I have homework for every Crown and Coronation, I have to log into the electronic classrooms, familiarize myself with the candidates and always be on the alert to spot folks that may have been missed or overlooked.
I will teach anyone and call them my student.
A man-at-arts is "feeling out how this relationship works to see if we want to enter the bonds of fealty". This extends until both parties wish to change the relationship by either ending it or entering a fealty relationship.
My apprentices are persons with whom I share fealty (and a contract). This fealty includes me publicly declaring that they are "mine" and that all words about them good or bad should come to me. I agree to speak on their behalf should questions come up about them or their art. I agree to teach them anything that I know and I will make time to teach them and re-arrange other events to help them where I can. They promise that they will behave with honor, strive to learn from everyone around them and come to me for guidance.
What's to like: I get to have people. This is MY Apprentice/Man-at-arts. THEY'RE MINE!! Aren't they great! They're fabulous. I get to foster a close relationship with someone I really admire and I get to help them to develop and guide them along the peerage path.
What's to dislike: I am responsible for people. If my life blows up and I have "a case of life" then I'm letting them down. It's a huge responsibility. If their life blows up then I have to tread that careful line between "You do you until you're ready to do otherwise" and "my peer hasn't spoken to me in 4 months".
I need to be careful that I don't over-commit myself so that I can give attention to all of my man-at-arts/apprentices so I can't take "too many". It also means that I need to be prepared to say a gentle "no" to someone who asks to become my man-at-arts/apprentice when I either don't have the bandwidth or feel that the fit is not right. I am exceedingly bad at confrontations and that really feels like a confrontation.
The medallion in the feature image ia mine. It was made by Mistress Diane de Winchester and Master Mark von dem Falkensfenn.

Keeping Up With Paige!
We've always planned on having children. We planned on what the baby's name would be, we picked out cute baby clothing, and we planned what the room would look like.
We thought we planned for everything. However, we didn't plan on staying at the hospital for over 180 days. Paige was born with an omphalocele – an abdominal wall defect which causes the internal organs to develop outside the body in a clear sac. In addition to having an omphalocele, Paige was also diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension and a heart condition known as an ASD (Atriel Septum Defect). During Paige's stay at Hasbro Hospital, her condition would fluctuate. One day things would be great, and one day things wouldn't be. Just as things started to look brighter, Paige required a tracheostomy as well as 24-hour ventilatory support to assist with breathing.
Several days after Paige was born a Social Worker approached us a asked us if she could make a referral to the Ronald McDonald house on our behalf. At this point we knew we would not be able to leave Paige's side, so we accepted. We took a tour of the residence and we were blown away. We instantly felt comfortable. We felt like this was somewhere we could rest. We felt like this was somewhere we could escape to, even if just for a few hours. We instantly felt connected to the staff and volunteers at the house. Their genuine concern for everyone in the house and for their well being was so refreshing and much needed. Being able to connect with the other families in the house served as a support group. We all had similar stories. Different experiences, but a familiar road. We supported each other. Cried when there was bad news and cheered when there was good news. Everyone was there for each other.
Being able to stay at such a warm, loving, a welcoming house is one of the biggest reason we were able to make it through such a tough ordeal. Being able to stay a short walk from our daughter was comforting, those late night phone calls are never pleasant ones. Being able to have a warm home cooked meal, a hot shower and a soft bed any night of the week was priceless. Feeling some type of "normalcy" in such a confusing and stressful time in our lives. We were all treated like family – and for that, we will never be able to thank you enough!
Today, Paige is doing so well!! To date, Paige has had 13 procedures, including open heart surgery, with still more procedures to come. We were recently told that Paige's heart has TOTALLY healed up and she no longer has any traces of pulmonary hypertension! Paige still has the trach but is only on her ventilator at night while sleeping! Paige's personality is shining! She's running around the house, making a mess out of everything, and doing her best to try and talk!! We are so proud of her! Even though our battle is not over, we couldn't have predicted how well Paige would be doing today. We are ready to face each day as it comes. We are very thankful for being where we are now, and we owe a large part of that to the Ronald McDonald House!

More sex please, we're hooked on different shades
April 28th, 2018 / / categories: 苏州美甲学校 /
THEY bear eerily similar covers: stiletto heels, satin sheets, lips and other hints of bare flesh, a locket and antiquarian key photographed against backgrounds of burnished blacks, steel greys and metallic blues.
Their blurbs hint of secrets, seductions, thrilling love affairs that push the characters to "their limits", tormented lovers and slap-and-tickle foreplay. Publishers pitch the look-alikes "for fans" of the Fifty Shades trilogy hungry for more of the same, and readers are gobbling them up.
With global sales of 40 million, the success of the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy has encouraged a crop of imitators.
The Australian bookstore chain, Dymocks, estimates 40 titles in this genre have been published or republished in the wake of Fifty Shades's March release, warranting a new category called steamy fiction.
"While the best of the 'copycat' books for Dymocks have only sold a fraction of Fifty Shades, these are nevertheless strong sellers for us that have, almost without exception, entered our top 10 bestseller lists on release and we are buying up everything that comes our way while our customers are showing such a strong appetite for it," said a Dymocks buyer, Sophie Higgins.
"There is no doubt that this will be an ongoing growth category for Dymocks. Romance has always had a loyal and wide readership, but the extra-naughty modern nature of these books and all the publicity has really taken it to a wider and perhaps a slightly younger audience."
Bandwagon publishing is not new, Ms Higgins said. Twilight triggered growth in the young adult and paranormal romance categories, Scandinavian crime grew in profile after Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and The Hunger Games tripped the trend to dystopian adult fiction.
The first to follow in Fifty Shades's mighty sales wake were Destined to Play from HarperCollins, The Secret Lives of Emma from Random House and Bared to You from Penguin, all of which were published in July.
Nikki Gemmell's 2003 literary novel The Bride Stripped Bare has recently received a Fifty Shades of Grey makeover and new editions carry a metallic grey livery designed to appeal to the trilogy's audience.
Among the parodies and mashups is Fifty Shames of Earl Grey and Fifty Shades of Mr Darcy, the latter featuring a cover of riding boots and crop.
The adult fiction publishing house Clandestine Classics is reworking classics such as Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice to include explicit sex scenes.
While the covers evoke the style of Fifty Shades of Grey, copyright infringement does not come into play because they are not copies of the original, said Kevin Lynch, a partner at Johnson Winter & Slattery.
"The lookalikes are unlikely to mislead a fan of Fifty Shades, given the books have different authors," he said. "They are imitations, but there is no law against sincere flattery."

Breonna Taylor's Family Is Still Seeking Justice After $12 Million Settlement
Louisville officials agreed to a settlement and announced police reforms, but Taylor's family wants charges against the officers responsible for the young woman's death. "As significant as today is," her mother said Tuesday, "it's only the beginning."
By Tarisai Ngangura
NEW YORK, AUGUST 09: Protesters took to the streets to demand the arrest of the officer responsible for the death of Breonna Taylor on March 13, 2020 in Louisville, Kentucky. By David Dee Delgado/Getty Images
Louisville city officials have agreed to a $12 million dollar settlement that will be paid to the family of Breonna Taylor, a young Black woman who was shot and killed by local law enforcement in her home early this year. According to the New York Times, the agreement was reached quickly in comparison to other cases of police shootings, which have often dragged on for years. Taylor, a 26-year-old emergency room technician was killed by white officers during what's been largely labelled a "botched drug raid." The officers rammed through her door to institute a search warrant at midnight on March 13 and proceeded to fire several shots into the house, five of which hit Taylor, while her boyfriend Kenneth Walker was led away in handcuffs.
The primary target for the midnight raid, according to reports, was Jamarcus Glover, a suspected drug dealer and ex-boyfriend of Taylor who had been under surveillance. Following her death, investigations revealed various inconsistencies and procedural failures on the part of law enforcement including the assumption that Taylor would be home alone, that she and Glover were still in a relationship, and that her residence was a local drug house. In an interview for the September edition of Vanity Fair, Taylor's mother, Tamika Palmer recalled how she had run to her daughter's house after receiving news of the raid, and for hours was given no information regarding Taylor's location or physical condition. Only later would she realize that her daughter's body had been inside the house while she was made to wait outside.
"As significant as today is, it's only the beginning of getting full justice for Breonna," Palmer said at a Tuesday news conference, according to the Associated Press. "We must not lose focus on what the real drive is and with that being said, it's time to move forward with the criminal charges because she deserves that and much more." An attorney for the family, Ben Crump, said: "We won't let Breonna Taylor's life be swept under the rug." Crump also called for charges against the officers involved, a point echoed on social media.
https://twitter.com/kerrywashington/status/1305942760281665536
The settlement is one of the highest ever paid in police killings and it also comes with the promise of policing reforms, including heightened scrutiny of search warrants and an early warning system to flag officers with disciplinary problems. According to documents obtained by the Times from Sam Aguiar, one of the family's attorneys, officers will also be encouraged to perform two hours of paid community service each week and will receive housing credits to encourage them to live in the neighborhoods they police, in an attempt to improve relations with marginalized communities.
Settlements have become a painfully common part of the conversation surrounding police violence against Black people, even as substantive reform and accountability remain tenuous. In 2014, the city of Cleveland agreed to a settlement of $6 million dollars following the shooting death of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was killed after police officers mistook his toy gun for a real one. In 2017, Minnesota paid $3 million dollars to the family of Philando Castile after he was shot the previous year, while in his car with his girlfriend and 4-year-old daughter. A $1.5 million settlement was also paid out following the death of Michael Brown who was killed in 2014, while a suggested $5 million amount for the shooting of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge was rejected by city officials. A wrongful death suit filed in the Sterling case is scheduled to go to trial next year.
Just days after Taylor's death, Daniel Prude was killed by Rochester police after suffocating under a hood that was placed over his hood to subdue him, even though he was already handcuffed. Both events highlight the prevalence of police brutality against Black people and the lack of transparency from law enforcement regarding policing tactics. Mass protests erupted across the country in May following the Minneapolis police killing of George Floyd—and again in August after Jacob Blake was shot several times in the back by police in Kenosha, WI, during a domestic violence call. Since the shooting, Blake has been paralyzed from the waist down.
