![]() It contains "The Blade" Parts 1-4 with indication of further adventures from these characters in later installments to Phase II. This graphic novel is part of the second phase in the High Republic era books. Very much looking forward to the sequel series! It has also inspired me to get back to drawing, which is always a good thing. It does many things right it tells a great story, it has a refined, consistent and fitting art style and is a fantastic addition to the High Republic as a whole. So yeah, I am very pleased with this wonderful comic. A very compelling take on the fight for Light and Life. Without spoiling too much of the story: at its crux is the hubris of the Jedi to trust in peace and the light where others can abuse and take advantage of them. It is a great formula that works well in revealing the complexities of the situation as they go. This means that layered, political negotiations and intrigue are balanced with tense actions scenes and awesome feats of Jedi prowess. The plot revolves around a planetary dispute where we see them both try to resolve the issues with their expertise. It is a wonderful construct and their interactions are great. They complement each other perfectly and form a sibling team. ![]() Where Porter has already made a name for himself as one of the Order’s most skilled lightsaber wielders, Barash is very well connected to the force and uses it to investigate and judge people of their missions. The both of them are the starts of the story. Especially the designs of both Barash and Porter are wonderfully rendered, giving them even more character. There is fantastic light/shadow play good facial consistency and expressions and a nice conveyance of motion. One thing that immediately stands out is the art, both the cover arts as well as the panels are very well done. The mainline comics by Scott have been pretty disappointing to me, but I am glad that things like Trail of Shadows and The Blade can give me wonderful THR comic experiences. It blends action, world building and interesting characters very well and leaves me wanting more. Much of the feel of that book somehow translates to this comic format. I will probably pick up the continuation of the comic, as I still like the tropes and what can be done with it.Ĭharles Soule introduced us to a fantastic character in Porter Engle, back when the High Republic project started in Light of the Jedi. To my disappointment, I was expecting some cool lightsaber fights because I am a big child and want to see space wizards hit themselves with differently coloured sticks, and there are some cool scenes with force and guns. But for this, it seems only as a prequel to a larger story, which will come. I do not know anything about this character, but I understand that if you have a Jedi who can duel anything and want to bring him down, you do it in a way other than fighting. There is so much focus on his sister and the overall conflict, which I did not enjoy. The story is fairly simple and promises "the biggest, hardest" adventure for Porter, which unfortunately does not happen in this. But a mini-series from Charles Soule featuring a bearded dual wielding the best in the galaxy swordsman ever sounded so good I had to try it.Īnd It was OK. The whole line seems to be very complicated, and nowadays, retcons in Star Wars are a very normal thing, so my enthusiasm to read something new fades. Since the High Republic initiative started, I thought I would give it a go when the right time came. This is the beginning of the exploration of this character and I am looking forward to seeing more of him after reading this collection. Did I really need to know more about a character that I saw in the first phase but had no connection with? The answer is yes because finally a character was fleshed out that I could connect with. I believe this happened because there wasn't as much build up for these characters as this is only a four issue collection. There were a couple of twists within the story that wasn't that impactful. As for the story it was enjoyable but nothing really new as once again Jedi are sent to a planet to diffuse a conflict. ![]() I also loved his relationship with another Jedi and this was easily the highlight of this collection. I enjoyed the character Porter as we get to see his skills but also nods of how we know him in the first phase. That changes with this collection and I am hopeful that it stays this way for the second phase. Throughout the different forms of media that was involved for the series I had no connection with any of the characters. I was not the biggest fan of the first phase of The High Republic series. In this collection we see a younger version of him and his role in trying to diffuse a civil war on a planet. He was introduced to us in the first phase of The High Republic series. This is a collection that begins a new series with the character Porter Engle.

![]() ![]() One of the great things about meal planning is it gives you a plan but there will always be days and weeks where either things don’t go accordingly or unexpected plans shake things up. These are the favorites that you find yourself cooking frequently and can easily fit into your approrpiate themes. There is also room below to fill in your family’s Go-To Dinner Ideas. Simply fill in the title with the appropriate season or month (many prefer to rotate their dinner themes each month) then write in the weekly themes in the calendar. You can download the blank template below to create your own dinner theme template. I also have a separate Spring & Summer themes template where I cook more lighter meals using an abundance of fresh produce. Once you have a feel for the type of meals your family prefers, create a simple weekly or bi-weekly template that you can refer to as you plan your meals.Īs I mentioned above, I have two dinner theme templates that I refer to by seasons, a Fall & Winter themes template where I plan more hearty and comforting foods like casseroles, soups and chili. Or maybe your family absolutely loves a variation of pasta night and wants some sort of Italian dish every week? Sit down with your calendar handy along with a list of your family’s favorite meals and look for any themes. Those are the nights you want to use your slow cooker! If Monday nights are busy nights with sports practice or church events, you probably don’t want to plan for a brand new recipe with multiple steps. So how do you set up dinner themes that will work for you?įor the first step is thinking through your family’s preferences and schedule. ![]() I also give myself room to try new recipes… you know all of those many hundreds of recipes I have pinned! Instead of just pinning them and letting them stay hidden in the vaults of Pinterest never to be seen or heard from again, I am conscious to go through there periodically and make myself try them out. I might choose one week and my kids rotate in too. For example this week it’s my husband’s choice so he can request any of his favorite meals. Family favorites are meals that each family member gets to pick. Italian, Mexican and BBQ meals are always sure hits, and I never go a week without using my slow cooker (some weeks I use it more than once). Saturday – Family Favorite or Dinner OutĪs you can see, we have a variety of themes so I can plan meals that I know my family will love.Sunday – Pizza Night (we love making homemade pizza).What do I mean by themes? Mainly they are just guidelines that help me to plan.įor example, my current Fall & Winter dinner theme looks like this: Week 1 I prefer to use a two week model that way there is plenty of room to incorporate a variety of themes. Setting Up a Dinner Theme Template for Meal Planning I have a seasonal, two week template in place that helps me take the guesswork out of what to cook allowing me to rotate in tried and true family favorites but also helps me to think a little outside of the box to try new recipes or get creative.Ĭurrently I am using my Fall & Winter dinner themes template but I also have a Spring & Summer template set up too. I plan around set dinner themes that don’t change. So to say that I was overwhelmed when it came to meal planning from the beginning would be understatement! I was a fish out of water!įast forward to nine years later, I now have a system to make meal planning super easy and, almost, seamless. I went from my mother’s house, where she prepared meals every night, to the college dorm cafeteria, back to my mother’s house after I graduated, to finally moving into my husband’s house after we married. When I married my husband I never really had a season where I had to cook for myself. The list could go on with all of the reasons that make meal planning feel like so much work. BUTthe actual process of meal planning can be overwhelming, even laborious, especially when you have a growing family, food allergies or sensitivities, picky or very opinionated eaters, or a limited budget. On one hand when you take the time to sit down and think through your meals for the coming week or month, you’re creating a plan of action which will save you time in the long run. Meal planning… two words that can bring both a sense of dread and relief, depending the way you look at it. ![]() ![]() What we do know is that male tortoiseshell cats are extremely uncommon and they are almost always infertile. The incidence of tortoiseshell in male cats is reported to be 1 in 3,000, although there is no research to back up this claim. Image Nynke van Holten, ShutterstockĬhocolate: Image credit homeandgrowing, Instagram Tortoiseshell in male cats This causes clumps of melanin in varying sizes along the hair shaft and areas which lack pigment, producing the illusion of a lighter coat colour. Melanin synthesis is normal in the dilute cat, however, the pigment granules are enlarged and deposited unevenly in the hair. Melanocytes contain organelles known as melanosomes which synthesise, store and transport melanin out of the melanocyte via the dendrites to neighbouring keratinocytes (keratin producing cells). The cause of dilution is a single base deletion in the melanophilin (MLPH) gene which provides instructions for making melanophilin, a carrier protein found in the pigment-producing melanocytes. Image Nynke van Holten, Shutterstockĭilution is a coat colour caused by the aptly named dilute gene which alters the coat colour from black to grey, chocolate to lilac and red to cream. The pigment granules of chocolate torties are are oval instead of spherical, giving a warm brown appearance. Chocolate is an alternate form of black and an uncommon tortie pattern. Lyonisation doesn’t occur in the male, so he will either be orange or non-orange, but almost never both.īlack and red is the most common and well-recognised tortie colour, blue and cream is the dilute of black and tortie. This inactivation (known as lyonisation or x-inactivation) is random which is how the tortoiseshell coat displays both orange and non-orange. Every cell will have one active X chromosome, and one silenced X chromosome (known as a Barr body). If she inherits two copies of the orange gene she will be orange (ginger).ĭuring embryonic development of the female kitten, one of the X chromosomes is switched off to prevent the expression of both X chromosomes. If she inherits one copy of orange, and one copy of non-orange (black or chocolate), she will be tortoiseshell. The female can inherit one copy of the orange gene or two copies. The male can only inherit one copy of the orange ( O) gene and if he does, will be orange. The O gene converts the production of black pigment (eumelanin) into orange (phaeomelanin). Male cats have one X and one Y chromosome (XY) while females have two X chromosomes (XX). The orange gene ( O) is located on the X chromosome and is dominant to non-orange. Each gene comes in a pair, one from the mother and one from the father. ![]() Chromosomes and genes Designua/ShutterstockĪ gene is a basic unit of inheritance that determines the cat’s traits. The black, chocolate, grey or lilac areas of the tortoiseshell cat are non-agouti. In the case of the tortoiseshell cat, the non-agouti gene is a recessive gene responsible for producing hair that is a uniform colour instead of the typical banded hair shaft seen in tabbies. We have pointed cats, dilute, sworls, spots, curly coats and cats with white patches. The wild-type coat colour and pattern is a brown mackerel tabby but genetic mutations have occurred that have led to changes to the cat’s coat pattern and colour. In some cats, there will be more red than black, which is known as a reverse tortie. The most common colour combination is black and red, which consists of almost equal amounts of black to red. This unusual coat pattern is sex-linked and is almost exclusively found in female cats. A tortoiseshell cat is a cat with a coat colour made up of mottled patches of black, chocolate or grey along with red or cream. ![]() Waste (talon) - It contains cards you revealed from stock but decided not to use at the moment.Stock - It is the rest of the deck used when players run out of moves in the tableau.Tableau - The biggest area with rows made of 28 cards in total.The first necessary step is understanding the solitaire layout.

One winter morning, when I was in kindergarten, I walked my usual route: cutting across the nearby Catholic elementary schoolyard and onto a big open field that led to my public school. I would walk to elementary school on a regular basis, even during arctic-cold Saskatchewan winters. When I was a child, I was afraid of the dark (I’m still unnerved by total darkness), but I was also terrified of fog. Next to Spielberg’s shark tale, THE FOG is the one I remember best: the music and sound effects, the dead sailors’ glowing red eyes, and the fog itself combined to scare me for several nights. I was too young to see horror movies in the theatre (I couldn’t have handled seeing JAWS on the big screen) and we didn’t have a VCR, so it was network TV where I saw my most formative films. Not to sound like a crotchety old man, but the kids today, with their plethora of movie-viewing options, wouldn’t understand: when I was a kid, one either saw movies in the theatre, on home video, pay TV, or network TV broadcasts. THE FOG was my first experience with John Carpenter’s work, as I saw it during its network TV premiere. I cite several factors that developed my love of horror cinema: my strange nocturnal nightmares that seemed so real, despite unusual paranormal goings-on therein, the Crestwood Monsters book series, celebrating the classic Universal monsters (I only read them in school, afraid to take them home, lest they conjure additional nightmares), and the TV premieres of JAWS and THE FOG. ![]() ![]() I remember when I first saw THE FOG and it was such a formative experience that I can still recall it quite vividly. After popularizing the slasher genre with HALLOWEEN, Carpenter’s next film probably surprised many people, as THE FOG is far removed from midwestern Haddonfield and a killer wearing a William Shatner mask.Ĭarpenter’s testament to an old-fashioned ghost story received mixed reviews upon its release in February 1980 but, 40 years later, THE FOG is now regarded as a horror classic. Spinning a yarn takes real talent, as demonstrated by John Carpenter’s THE FOG, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary today. “Cut to the chase!” people are thinking, as I stammer, struggling to create a coherent narrative. ![]() Not writing stories, but actual verbal discourse, providing an amusing anecdote or a synopsis (one needs only to listen to my guest stints on podcasts where I struggle mightily summing up a movie’s plot). ![]() I own his cast albums and soundtracks and have seen many of his shows. I have been a lifetime fan of Stephen’s work. (This was quite a gift for me, given Stephen’s work, at that time, on pre-production for Wicked filming, and his preparation of Disenchanted.) The answer was “yes,” if Stephen agreed to participate, which he did. When I learned Stephen Schwartz was going to be receiving the American Songbook Association (ASA) Lifetime Achievement Award, I immediately called Frank Dain, the amazing editor of Cabaret Scenes (sponsored by the ASA) and asked if I could interview Stephen. Stephen Schwartz receives a Lifetime Achievement Award, May 2022. Stephen Schwartz accompanied the current two leading ladies of Wicked on the piano and added his commentary.

While the alternate I Am Legend ending is still far from the book, it's much closer in spirit, as Neville learns that he isn't quite as righteous as he thought. The narrative may be closer to the I Am Legend novel in terms of Robert Neville dying, but it arguably misses the philosophical point of a story that's about morality more than it's about zombies. As Firewatch starts to end, our protagonist finds transcripts of his conversations with Delilah. The theatrical ending to I Am Legend was controversial among fans of Richard Matheson's novel, however, as they felt it failed to thematically capture what made the ending to the book so poignant. SPOILERS AHEAD IGN shows you an alternate ending to Firewatch, which occurs if Henry waits too long to board the rescue.

Generally speaking, I suspect people's first playthroughs will be somewhat non-intentional. I think it would be hard to find "everything" unless you have explored the world pretty thoroughly and know your way around the map. Most of the people I've seen play through the entire game have found different instances of these things.
