But Paolini manages to inject enough colour into the their backstories that negates the need for predictable ‘shocking’ reveals, helping to keep them unique and relevant. The characters can, on first introduction, feel a little too archetypal. Paolini’s Faster Than Light (FTL) space travel rules feel particularly well thought out and serves a great purpose, presenting real challenges for the characters (and we assume the author) to overcome. Even though there is a rogue absence of the more high concept philosophical questions that hard sci-fi largely demands of a reader, there’s still plenty of intelligent scientific/sci-fi concepts to get lost in. While some of the ideas and plot may sound familiar, the book reads better as a love letter (a bloody long love letter admittedly) to sci-fi rather than a mind-blowing fresh and unique take on the genre. Furthermore, when you consider that that story was told in a 22-page comic book format, author Christopher Paolini’s 800+ page behemoth of a book starts to look a bit bloated. Upon first reading that Kira is covered by a slick black sentient skin suit with slightly aggressive tendencies and otherworldly abilities to adapt, fight, heal and build, you can’t help but draw parallels to the Eighties Venom/Spider-Man concept. Soon she’s rescued by the Wallfish, a rogue spaceship run by a ragtag crew of morally ambiguous misfits who (after some explosive incidents of their own) decide to team up with Kira as their deadliest weapon on a quest to try and bring an end to a newly awakened alien war. Following an explosive incident with her new-found ‘companion’, she is left adrift in space on a survival mission to try and decipher the secrets of the alien tech to which she’s now bonded. Waking up days later on a government military ship, Kira discovers she is now host to a symbiotic alien technology. However, as Kira is tidying up one last job, her curiosity gets the better of her when she makes an alien discovery of her own, unwittingly uncovering a dormant and deadly secret. She can see remnants of their architecture but no-one’s ever seen an actual alien, let alone met one. She knows that aliens exist, or at least that they existed. Her work as a Xenobiologist has taken her far across the galaxy in an effort to explore and discover what might be out there. It is a brilliant work of intricate sci-fi that demands time, but pays off well for its readers.Kira Navárez is looking forward to going home. I would recommend this work for both Paolini alumni and newbies. Paolini also includes blink-and-you’ll-miss-them references to the Eragon series, a special treat for those of us who grew up reading them in the early 2000s.Ī sci-fi novel of this scale might seem an odd choice for someone whose writing career to this point has been entirely in the realm of Tolkien-influenced high fantasy.īut, in his afterword, Paolini makes the point that ‘By trying new things we learn and grow and maintain excitement for our craft’ (Paolini, p873), and To Sleep in a Sea of Stars is nothing if not a fine example of the craft. It’s difficult to adequately capture the essence of a book of this size – a whopping 800+ pages – but suffice to say that Paolini’s intricate sci-fi epic is very much in the spirit of his best-selling Eragon series.Įpic space battles, different races that cannot reconcile, a chosen one who is challenged to their very soul, and an intricate cast of characters make this a rich, full storytelling experience.

"Inflation causes so much pain with everything we buy and everything we do.".With the price of gas and price of food so high, I don't see how anyone can have extra money to do anything other than work." "I work 40+ hours and can barely afford to survive."Prices on everything just getting higher and higher.Some of the participants' feedback included: In fact, a new CNN poll shows that 75% of American families consider inflation their "biggest economic problem." Moreover, that number is bound to decline from here since inflation isn't fading. But when you adjust for inflation, they've only risen 15%." Sales appear to be up 30% from pre-pandemic numbers. Actual American consumption appears to be leveling off instead of increasing. "When adjusted for inflation though, it appears that spending isn't actually as strong as we once thought. " This is a telling bit of information - especially since many of the most optimistic economists cite strong consumer activity as the reason why they're expecting a mere mild recession. Let me explain… Inflation Is Hurting Everyone More Than You're Hearing (You're Hardly Alone) Americans are spending more because of high prices, but adjusted for inflation, they are usually consuming less." "Spending also rose over the past year, and like with wages, it was outpaced by inflation. When taking inflation into account, there hasn't been a single month with year-over-year earnings growth since March 2021. "But those steady gains have been wiped out by high prices. "Over the past year, wage increases have continued to exceed pre-pandemic levels, with year-over-year growth topping 4% each month. I went on to quote The Wall Street Journal as saying: "But how much longer can that last? Or, to ask another relevant question, how is this even possible?" Even though discretionary spending waned from its pandemic levels, Americans are still driving up demand for homes, cars, and other big purchases. "Throughout all of this though, the American consumer has remained surprisingly strong, all things considered. And earnings season has shed light on some of the challenges our banking institutions face. "Inflation metrics have quickly outpaced predictions from top economists. "In the last couple of weeks, we've witnessed a whirlwind in terms of economic data. In my blog post on Monday, July 19, I wrote: What I do want to do, however, is put them in perspective. And I'm not trying to completely downplay or disagree with those assessments. I know we keep hearing about the strength of the U.S. People are hurting financially these days.
… We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Whichever category you fall into, each week we'll feature a video that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. For some, these videos are forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. What a shame.ĭo you know what happened to Jayne? Got a Forgotten Video recommendation? Leave us a comment. In a 2007 interview, Lewis commented on the Guns-led incarnation saying, "You know, my opinion of it is that it's terrible." Two versions of L.A. Guns and Lewis, now adversaries following an acrimonious breakup in 2002, lead their own separate incarnations of L.A. Today, "The Ballad Of Jayne" is breaking hearts in the set lists of two bands. (As to what really happened to her, the answer may have lied in the whispering wind that blew those rose petals or the antique-style book Lewis carted around.) In another atypical move, an eerie, subtle Goth theme seems present in the song, evidenced by lyrics such as "Now she's breaking hearts in heaven" and "I still hear of us in the wind," that suggest dark mysteries. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990 - the only time these guns would shoot past the Top 40. Guns showcased theirs with the lighter-inducing "The Ballad Of Jayne." The story of the apparent death of Jayne complemented by lead vocalist Phil Lewis' somber wailing, a subtle back beat, acoustic guitars, and an understated Strat-worthy solo courtesy of Tracii Guns pushed the song to No. But every rocker is liable to have a soft side (well, except maybe Lemmy) and L.A. Guns had more than plenty of the usual Hollywood-style rock fare - try "Electric Gypsy," "Malaria," "Never Enough," "Rip And Tear," and "Sex Action" on for size. (A little bit of trivia: the band's first incarnation featured a vocalist named Axl Rose, who would go on to jungle-like adventures with some rough-and-tumble characters named Duff, Izzy and Slash.) While the band's look combined an atypical mix of glam and Goth with a hint of punk, L.A. Guns were one of many top-selling rock bands to emerge from the legendary Sunset Strip rock scene of the mid- to late '80s. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you. We're not here to judge, we just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Or, we'll be giving a fresh look at a video that deserves to be collecting dust. Well, for some forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. show are available at all Smith'sTix outlets.Welcome to Forgotten Videos. Guns are the London Quireboys, whose album "A Bit of What You Fancy," has gone gold in England, Germany, Japan, Scandinavia, Italy, Greece and Spain. Starting a new tour on June 10, the group will be in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, June 12, at the Fairpark Coliseum ("the chicken arena," as Lewis jokingly calls it). And, at 27, it's difficult for him to settle down with one woman, he said, "because it's hard for me to work out whether I should have an English or an American girlfriend." The rock singer said he was "something of a weirdo" while growing up in England, because he wanted to be American and liked James Brown. "Now it's up to us to make the most of it." "We're getting our 15 minutes," acknowledged Lewis. With their latest album, "Cocked and Loaded," going gold and their video "The Ballad of Jayne" a hit on MTV, L.A. Well, for the time being they're at least enjoying it. "Even before we were successful we were having fun, and it didn't matter that we didn't have money, so we realize that the most important thing now is to not get too wrapped up in the lifestyle so that we can't live without it afterward." Or so lead singer Philip Lewis would have you believe."We keep those worn-out cowboy boots firmly on the floor," he said with a thick British accent over the phone. But despite their attention-grabbing appearance of jet-black hair, pomegranate red lips, snow-white skin and ubiquitous tattoos - not to mention their effusive confidence - the group's members are really just normal guys having a good time. Guns hold no illusions about their raunchy image. Self-described as a band whose members "look like we were dragged under an 18-wheeler for a couple of weeks," the L.A. It’s another to test a headline in real life. It’s one thing for software to choose “the winner” based on a formula. …at the same time, he said that CoSchedule chose the best-performing headline just 40 percent of the time (SEJ has the ability to test different headlines and track the metrics.) Danny recommended running your own A/B test (you can find WordPress plug-ins or use a platform like Optimizely) to find the true winners. It’s a tool he uses himself - in fact, he said “For me, there’s only one headline analyzer.” He uses it to play with different headline ideas and to see what could work… Second, just because CoSchedule is a super-cool tool, doesn’t mean that it’s an infallible one.ĭanny Goodwin, Executive Editor of Search Engine Journal, discussed CoSchedule during his chat with my SEO Copywriting Certification students. You aren’t handing over your credit card information - but you do have to give up your name, email and company. What’s the catch?įirst, you need to sign up for the free tool. It especially comes in handy when I’m having a brain-dead day, and I need a little help creating the perfect LinkedIn headline. I use CoSchedule for a client’s social posts, and I love the way CoSchedule makes it easy for me to (generally) measure a post’s effectiveness. Running a quick headline check will help us determine if we’re on track…or if we need to go back to the drawing board. Some are stinkers - even if we’re convinced they smell like fresh daisies and will get ALL the click-throughs. Let’s face it, not every headline we write is a winner. Headline Analyzer also helps us get our egos out of the way and get a feel for what works. Outside of the rating, Headline Analyzer will also give you specific advice for ways to make your headlines better, such as “your headline is too short” or “emotional headlines pull better.” Nice! Simply adding one word (so) to the headline boosted the headline score by four points. You can see how I was having fun with my first attempt – I scored a whopping 14 points! But check out the other variations, especially the last two. He adds the grilled scallops to the salad and adds fresh dill for garnish. While the scallops cook, he dishes up some cracked wheat salad and drizzles it with the red pepper and tahini sauce. He grills them over very high heat so they develop a nice crust. The old Middle East began at the river valleys of the Tigris and the Euphrates rivers or at the western. He then brushes canola oil onto the skewered sea scallops and seasons them with salt and pepper. THE TERM Middle East came to modern use after World War II, and was applied to the lands around the eastern end of the MEDITERRANEAN SEA including TURKEY and GREECE, together with IRAN and, more recently, the greater part of North Africa.

He then adds chopped vegetables and fresh herbs and tops it off with lemon and olive oil dressing. He takes the cooled-down cracked wheat and adds it to a bowl. Bobby decides the sauce needs a bit of heat, so to complement the Middle Eastern cuisine, he adds harissa paste and blends again. It has a distinct and savory flavor and is used in a variety of Middle Eastern dishes, though applying a liberal dusting of it to any bread product is. He purees the sauce then adds a bit of canola oil and extra virgin olive oil while it continues to blend. Za’atar is a Middle Eastern spice blend that includes oregano, thyme and marjoram, but can also refer to the original plant that has since become government-protected due to its endangerment. For the red pepper and tahini sauce, he adds sherry vinegar to a blender, followed by some of the saffron, honey, a roasted red pepper, tahini and fresh lemon juice. He adds boiling water to a bowl and adds saffron so it will flower. This certainly complicates deciding who could be classified as Middle. He adds two cups of cracked wheat to four cups of boiling water, turns off the heat, covers it and lets it cook until fluffed.
