Remember… in 2007 Ed O’Donnell, a young seventh generation farmer wanted to diversify as farming was looking bleak at the time. He saw a niche in the market for an Irish hand cooked cooked crisp and decided to make crisps from the potatoes grown on his farm. Ed believed it was important that the product and flavours were Irish and artisan so he sourced local food producers to give the crisps fantastic individual flavours. In June 2010 O’DONNELLS Crisps were born!

movie recommendations

because I randomly feel like it.

The Hunt for Red October (1990): Adaptation of Tom Clancy's book of the same name. Stars Sean Connery (Marko Ramias), Alec Baldwin (Jack Ryan), Scott Glenn (Bart Mancuso), James Earl Jones (James Greer), Sam Neill (Vasili Borodin), and also has several other actors I like. Since this is a Marvel blog, I will add that Stellan Skarsgard, the actor for Erik Selvig, is Tupolev. During the late Cold War, the Soviet Union built the Red October, a massive submarine built with new technology so that SONAR could not detect it. Ramias, captain of the Red October means to defect to the United States. Ryan, a CIA analyst, deduces this and has to prove his theory to the US Navy before it's too late.

Ocean's Eleven (2001): Remake of a 1960 film, Ocean's 11. Stars George Clooney (Danny Ocean), Brad Pitt (Rusty Ryan), Matt Damon (Linus Caldwell), Julia Roberts (Tess Ocean), and Andy Garcia (Terry Benedict). Again, Marvel blog, I'll let y'all know Don Cheadle is in it as Basher Tarr. Danny and Rusty plan a $160 million heist of a Vegas casino owned by Benedict, the lover of Danny's ex-wife Tess. They assemble a team to steal the casino's money

Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016): Adaptation of the book Wild Pork and Watercress by Barry Crump. Stars Sam Neill (Hector or Hec), Julian Dennison (Ricky Baker), Rima Te Wiata (Bella), and Rachel House (Paula). Again, Marvel blog, so I'll tell you it's directed by Taika Waititi. So he has a cameo in it that is hilarious. Hec and his foster son, Ricky, don't get along all that well. After a crazy turn of events leaving Ricky and Hec stranded in the New Zealand bush for a couple weeks before social services were supposed to pick up Ricky, the authorities assume Hec kidnapped Ricky. The two live on the run in the bush and grow close. It's a Waititi movie, meaning that it is a comedy used to discuss a more serious topic, in this case chosen families. It is hilarious and had me laughing so much when I watched it.

Invictus (2009): Based on John Carlin's book Playing the Enemy: Nelson Mandela and The Game That Made a Nation, which is in turn based on real life events in South Africa. Stars Morgan Freeman (Nelson Mandela) and Matt Damon (Francois Pienaar). It is shortly after apartheid and Mandela's election as president. There are lots of racial tensions in South Africa and Mandela wants to find a way to unite the country. Mandela decides to help the national rugby team win the 1995 Rugby World Cup in order to create something both whites and blacks can agree on and hope for together.

The Sixth Sense (1999): Stars Bruce Willis (Malcom Crowe) and Haley Joe Osment (Cole Sear). Malcom Crowe is a child psychologist trying to help Cole. Malcom eventually learns something supernatural is happening. Can't say too much, I don't want to spoil it since it blew me away.

Hatari! (1962): Swahili for "danger." Stars John Wayne (Sean Mercer) and Elsa Martinelli (Dallas). Sean and several others are professional game catchers in Africa. Dallas, a photographer, shows up unannounced. A series of funny events happens afterwards.

Swiss Family Robinson (1960): Based on Johann David Wyss's book The Swiss Family Robinson. Starring Johann Mills (Father Robinson), Dorothy McGuire (Mother Robinson), James MacArthur (Fritz Robinson), Tommy Kirk (Ernst Robinson), Kevin Corcoran (Francis Robinson), and Janet Munro (Roberta). A Swiss family is on a boat to New Guinea when pirates attack and the ship flees into a storm. They shipwreck not far off from an island. They have to build a life for themselves on the island and learn to love the island. But they have to be careful - the pirates are still out there.

Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959): Based on Herminie Templeton Kavanagh's Darby O'Gill stories. Stars Albert Sharpe (Darby O'Gill), Janet Munro (Katie O'Gill), Sean Connery (Michal McBride), and Jimmy O'Dea (King Brian). Darby captures King Brian, king of the Little People, who grants Darby three wishes. At the same time, Darby's landlord sent Michael to live in the townhouse and expected Darby to move elsewhere that required less maintenance now that Darby is old. Katie and Michael start to fall in love.

How I Paid for College

RETRO REVIEW

How I Paid for College: A Novel of Sex, Theft,Friendship & Musical Theater

Marc Acito

276 pages

Broadway Books, 2004

Hard work may pay off in the long run, but the benefits of laziness are immediate. 

Edward Zanni is a high school senior in suburban New Jersey in 1983, Edward and his friends are “Play People,” also known as theater kids. The summer before school starts, this band of friends embarks on an adventure of “CV”, also known as Creative Vandalism. At the start of the school year, Edward’s newly remarried dad drops the news that he won’t pay for Julliard, Edward’s dream, he’ll only pay for Edward to go to college for business. What’s a guy, along with his group of madcap friends to do? 

Natie Nudelman, the group’s computer whiz kid with a broken moral compass comes up with a list. 1. Work. 2. Scholarships. 3. Theft. 4. Murder. OK, murder is a little extreme, but theft? Well, Edward does get a job, and through a little fun and lighthearted theft, fraud and money-laundering to create a scholarship, they should be able to get him to Julliard. And as a bonus, they might get back at his dad’s new wife. All the while they are scheming, there’s a lot of sexual tension in the group as openly bisexual Edward is having trouble pleasing his girlfriend Kelly because he can’t stop thinking about jock-turned Play Person Doug. 

Books written about teens in the eighties basically ignored the LGBT community, so it’s nice to see a bisexual character whose sexuality isn’t the source of drama and heartache. Doug knows Edward has a crush on him and even though he doesn’t return the crush, he is kind of flattered. (Also, Edward isn’t the only LGBT character in the book....but no spoilers).

How I Paid for College is absolutely hilarious. The teenage characters are smarter and funnier and somehow cooler (even though they’re supposed to be big nerds) than I have ever been. There’s a lovely found family storyline, queer characters, crazy schemes, and an absolute loathing of the suburbs that teenage me could relate hard to. (”What have they got to be snobby about? Don’t they realize they live in New Jersey?” asks on character.) It’s a damn shame this hasn’t been made into a movie. 

***** I basically NEVER do this but I went ahead and Fan-casted this book because I love it so much***

[dragonprincefan]

Hey Dragon Fans! Let’s do a round up of all the information we’ve gotten so far about The Dragon Prince! This is quite a lot of info, so I’ll be throwing the bulk of it under a cut. (There will be spoilers for episode 1 of the show below the cut.)

The Dragon Prince, developed by Wonderstorm Inc., animated by Bardel Entertainment, and distributed by Netflix will be releasing all the episodes of the first season on September 14, 2018.

The official summary is, “Two human princes forge an unlikely bond with the elven assassin sent to kill them, embarking on an epic quest to bring peace to their warring lands.”

You can watch the promotional trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7Bf7JLnlOU

Promotional taglines used by the official accounts have been “Destiny is a book you write yourself!” and “dragon big”.

Netflix currently has the show rated as TV-Y7 for Fantasy Violence. The animation is cell-shaded CG, much like what you see in Fire Emblem, Guilty Gear, or Avatar: The Lost Episodes.

The show will have an accompanying video game developed by Wonderstorm* with the story tellers for both show and game working closely together to ensure the stories being told are well integrated and complementary.

Our lead characters for the Netflix series are Callum, the elder human prince, Ezran, the human crown prince, and Rayla, a Moonshadow Elven Assassin.

The universe The Dragon Prince takes place in is divided into two primary areas, Xadia, the magical lands in the East, and the five great human kingdoms in the West. Centuries ago, Thunder the King of Dragons guarded the border between Xadia and the Human Kingdoms.

In the TDP universe, there were originally six types of magic: moon, sun, stars, earth, ocean, and sky. Humans developed a seventh type of magic, Dark Magic. With Dark Magic you find a creature that has that magic as part of their essence, you consume it quickly, and it unleashes a great amount of magic quickly. Dark Magic became a shortcut to great, fast power, but led to corruption and was wielded at the expense of the varied, intelligent, and powerful magical creatures of Xadia. The dragons and the elves allied to try to put a stop to the humans’ use of Dark Magic, but the Dragon King Thunder was killed by humans using dark magic and Thunder’s only egg and heir, The Dragon Prince, was destroyed. Now the world stands on the edge of all out war...

The first episode is titled “Book 1: Moon, Episode 1: Echoes of Thunder” and was premiered at the SDCC 2018 panel. You can read IGN’s review of the episode here.

SPOILERS FOR EPISODE ONE BEGIN HERE

Ezran is scared of thunderstorms and likes to steal treats from the baker with his pet glow toad, Bait. Glow toads are described as “the Grumpy Cat of magical illusionary amphibians.”

Even though Callum is older he is not the crown prince because he is the stepson of the king. This means Callum and Ezran are half brothers. The condition and whereabouts of Callum and Ezran’s mother is reported to be a spoiler. The King is a black man, and it appears that Ezran may be biracial.

One of the royal guards Sorin/Soren/Zoren (spelling unknown) is tasked with training Callum in sword fighting. Callum is disinterested and prefers to draw, unless Soren’s sister, Claudia, is around. Callum appears to have a crush on Claudia, and Soren helps by going easy on him in sparring sessions in front of her. Claudia appears to be very studious and nearly runs into a tree while reading because she is too focused on her book. Claudia and Soren’s father is a highly placed lord and leader of the royal army/guard.

It looks like Callum will be learning to use magic over the course of the show. What type of magic he uses is currently unknown. Based on the trailer I think that may be Claudia also shown using magic. Regardless of her identity, I suspect what the dark haired female magic user in the trailer is using is the Dark Magic we’ve seen discussed.

The elves that Rayla is a member of are called Moonshadow Elves (white haired elves with dark horns) and they literally draw power from the moon. They are at thier strongest during the full moon. The bracelet Rayla wears was acquired during a ceremony swearing loyalty to the Dragon King’s cause/memory(?). Moonshadow Elves demonstrate at minimum some form of cloaking magic, but can still be detected by certain types of animals. Rayla has a Scottish accent.

Rayla is going to be something of a mysterious figure and strongly conflicted about her role in current events, “testing her sense of right and wrong.” She tries to tell herself that “an assassin does not decide right or wrong, only life and death.”*

When the Moonshadow Elves stage an attack on the castle, the King decides to send Callum and Ezran away for thier own safety. Meanwhile, Soren and Claudia are ordered by thier father to stop the assassins. Callum wants to help but is told he cannot because he is only 14 (and 3/4!) years old and he must be 15 to fight.

There was a black-haired guard in the first episode (the one attacked by Rayla) that had not been formally named, but when asked by the panel audience they named him Marcos.

END OF  SPOILERS FOR EPISODE ONE

During the Q&A session (I’ve discussed this with several people who were in the room now trying to get clarity) it sounds like the question of if there would be LGBT+ representation in the show was very narrowly sidestepped. They told the panel audience that any sort of answer would be a spoiler. It seems likely that there will be LGBT+ representation, but it has not been explicitly promised, and I urge folk to temper expectations with the knowledge that while it’s wrong to use the TV-Y7 rating as a reason to not show canonically LGBT+ characters, it may end up being outside the Wonderstorm team’s hands to try to get it on screen. I’m cautiously optimistic. We’ll have to wait and see.

The staff did say they are strongly dedicated to creating an inclusive and diverse fantasy universe, with an especial focus on visible ethnic diversity. We can already see the beginning of that with the King and Ezran.

Being on Netflix permits the staff to do a darker take on the story than they might have been permitted on network television, and they’re excited to get to tell a complex and nuanced story that explores moral grays and the idea that there are both good and bad actors in every group and culture. That said, they want this series to be fun, light-hearted, and quirky too.

The SDCC panel gave away two goodies to anyone lucky enough to get into the panel, a large physical poster version of the concept art we first saw with the initial announcement and an enamel pin of Ezran’s pet glow toad, Bait. The backing for the enamel pin announced that Hot Topic will be carrying exclusive merchandise for The Dragon Prince beginning in September 2018.

11, 14 and 16

11. favourite native writer/poet?

My favourite writer would have to be Sebastian Barry. I’ve talked about his novels here before. But he is such a beautiful writer; so lyrical and then at times so simple and to the point that he breaks your heart. Kevin Barry makes me laugh out loud and then seconds later my heart is broken again (definitely a thing with Irish writing). Emma Donoghue who wrote the devastating ‘Room’. And a shout-out for Oscar Wilde of course ;)

For poets, hmm…I love the writing of John O’Donohue (not just for his poetry). And Paula Meehan and Paul Durcan. I prefer contemporary poets to the greats of Irish poetry like WB Yeats and Patrick Kavanagh.

14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV?

Oh boy, that’s a loaded question! There is incredible cinematic talent in Ireland but unfortunately not a hugely robust industry to support it. I can’t say I enjoy Irish TV, no. I very rarely watch it. For film, I do support it but it’s very hit and miss. An Irish director I would whole-heartedly recommend is Lenny Abrahamson, who directed Room which received multiple Oscar nominations in 2016. His films Adam & Paul and Garage have that mix of funny & heartbreaking I spoke about. 

16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?

The one I dislike the most is that the Irish are very quick to anger. Having traveled and lived all around the world I know this is no more true of the Irish than of any other nationality. The one I agree with is Irish friendliness. That is true, and it’s lovely, and I really hope it doesn’t change. It’s so nice seeing foreign visitors being charmed and disarmed by it. Another stereotype that is pretty true is how much we talk. Why use 3 words when we could use 30? :) And the drinking…I mean - yeah. But it’s rainy and grey here most of the year, what else are we gonna do???

Thanks Anon!

Todos los fuegos y la fuego

Se considera inteligente servirse a uno mismo en último lugar. Se considera sabio. Es extraña la forma en que nos bajamos del tren. Es extraña la manera en que subimos al subte. Es extraña la manera de entrar en un ascensor sin dejar salir. Nunca reconocimos nuestra ciudad como accidental. Sanidad de fronteras? Ni idea , pibe me dijo el diariero , amablemente Frente a nosotros pasó un renault Fuego rojo y nos quedamos mirando. Pregunté a once personas por Huergo (me niego a hablar con máquinas) y ninguno de los doce teníamos la respuesta. Volvía a recorrer una ciudad que no conocía habitada por personas que en su mayoría parecían no saber donde habitaban. En la oficina de un ministerio del estado me atiende un señor jóven que podría ser yo, mi doppelganger. Antes de llegar a emitir mi consulta me dice-perdoname no sé, es mi primer día y remonta la escena unos minutos después una señora a la que antes dejaban fumar adentro de la misma oficina. Se ríe. Todos nos reímos cuando sabemos la respuesta. *Nota aparte *Cuando fui a renovar mi registro de conducir (en mi sede municipal) , por adentro o a nuestras espaldas, todos se reían , la recepcionista de los números y los turnos, el de seguridad, el del sellito, el que no tenía pigmentación, el de la caja, la señora de la ventanilla 6, la del largo vestido hippie del exámen de ojos, la joven con pecas y ojos claros  y un botón desabrochado de la camisa y  un trabajo eterno, que no sonríe pero nos calienta Todos se reían porque sabían la respuesta. Utiliza ese poder con todos tus zombies: los que hacemos trámites. y el cambio del verbo, la conjugación como el cambio del tiempo: amar temer partir Camino la avenida Madero y como fallé la dirección sigo por Huergo hasta la Boca De retiro hasta la boca. Ya siento el aroma a alquitrán. La calles se están rehaciendo. Esta vez no habrá pozos. Camino y veo el backstage de una ciudad que insiste y persiste en darnos oxígeno. En los espacios verdes las personas que bajan de los rascacielos por un descanso, parecen hormigas, las motos mensajeras parecen hormigas nerviosas con alas. Camino entre las vena aorta y los muros hinchados y pintados prolijamente. La hinchazón son los afiches, todos los afiches acumulados de los últimos cuarenta años. en el medio de pastiche debe haber uno de Italo Luder , Óngaro y Tosco, Lorenzo Miguel, probablemente. No fuimos lo que nuestros padres quisieron. Camino y pregunto al 600, la altura de mi avenida. -Sanidad de fronteras? - No pibe, eso se mudó creo que están frente al Colonia Express Todo parace llevarnos a otro lado. De dónde venimos. Los camiones pasan lento cuando se acumula la la cosa cuando pasan rápido algo me succiona y quiere llevarme al medio. En principio de mi peregrinaje me crucé con un teléfono público telefónica. Fue un viaje al pasado. Ahí estaba como una máquina del tiempo y todos esperando un llamado. Sobre la avenida de los culos de los mundos. Yo el mi propio guía de mi sinceridad nacional. Todo fue para ayer,  la gran mayoría del núcleo se psicoanalizó de una manera u otra (que gastadero) y saborea las nuevas formas, porque insiste y persiste. Insistimos y persistimos. los reyes del panqueque y el self awareness Nunca pudimos esperar …Nunca supimos esperar nuestro turno y toda esa ansiedad adonde nos llevó. De lejos diviso el edificio de la Aduana, parece un grand hotel de la Manhattan gótica En otro extremo cruzando containers de Maersk emergen torres de los diques parece Sin City. Es divino. Hay polvo y tierra en el viento. La casa Rosada que le dio la espalda al Río de la Plata, se da la vuelta El fondo será su frente. Siento el olor a alquitrán de las calles nuevas. Algo está en movimiento. Un cigarrillo de lejos hecha humo, es una fábrica y su tubo. -Te puedo hacer una preguntita- escucho una conversación ajena que parece repetirse como mantra. el caos que calma. La búsqueda de respuestas. Camino detrás de escena de la ciudad nueva hasta la ciudad vieja. Los reflejos sobre los nuevos vidrios son los vidrios viejos. Pasan camiones y autos de todos los años y todas las marcas. Vienen y van a todas partes. Nos une el centro, el núcleo. Paso por la CGT y pido permiso para tomar una foto del mítico estacionamiento. me invitan a sacar otra foto del hall de entrada. me hacen sentir un sueco y sigo caminado por los jardines de atrás de la ciudad de la Santa María que devuelve al puerto. Acceso Wilson. Una señal que nunca me llevó hacia ningún lado. Sobre murales veo a nuestros antepasados y el mar en sus ojos entre el temor y la emoción llegando a un mundo nuevo respirando nuevos aires.. “Hard to believe this place had any                                                                                       beginning. I feel it to be as eternal as                                                                                                          air and water” “Es díficil de creer este lugar haya tenido comienzo alguna vez. La siento tan eterna como el aire y el agua” Qué misterio me digo y veo murallas con formas extrañas y prolijamente pintadas arriba. qué isla, que lugar precioso le dijo a un anciano que conversa con otro anciano en la plaza de un lugar cerca de la cancha de Boca que nunca había visto Hermoso no es. Es tranquilo. Pero hermoso no es. * En un sueño que tengo, en un pesadelo King Kong eleva un brazo en los más alto del Kavanagh pero no sostiene a la rubia en un puño sostiene a Axel Kuschevatzky y no entiendo. Pero hay tantas cosas que no entiendo. Miro al lado de mi cama y la veo a Paula que no se la llevó King Kong. Me miro la vacuna que me dieron para la malaria y la fiebre amarilla. Suena el teléfono. Es Claudio un tipo que no conozco me pregunta por mi auto y si como parte de pago le acepto su Renault Fuego rojo *

Another life ruined

I want to tell you another story. I want to tell you the story of Jonno and Richard. You already know what happened with John and Ivan. Jonno lyed to Ivan that he was single to sleep with him. He has done the same to Richard while he was with Ivan. Jonno told Rishard he split up with Ivan and they were just friends. John told that lie in march this years. But Jonno was still with Ivan and all he wanted was sex. So he made Rishard believe he wanted to date and be in a relationship with him. From day one John turned the chat about sex telling Richard he wanted to "suck him off" and "fuck him hard in the ass". The story with Jonno and Richard is very similar to what happened with Ivan. John contonues with his way of hiding the the truth just so he can get laid. Risch is now struggling with his feelings as he finds out he was fucked for nothing. A few days after Rich finds the truth Jonno stops talking to him. He splits with both Ivan and Rich and contonies. He moves to Dan. Dan seems sweet and trusting. He buys his story too. It is early July and Jonno is already sleeping with Dan and telling him how he was cheated on in his last relationship. John tells Dan he was left heart broken, harassed, attacked. He knows this is not true but he also knows he has done it before and it worked. Jonno knows it is ok to make up stories to have sex with people and get money from them. We need to stop Jonno as this is enough. Noone can be lied to and taken advantage of. John is going to keep do this until he can and until he gets away with it.

Introducing | NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program Recipients and Finalists

NYFA has awarded $623,000 to 89 New York State artists.

The New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) has announced the recipients and finalists of the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship program, which it has administered for the past 32 years with leadership support from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA). The organization has awarded a total of $623,000 to 89 artists throughout New York State in the following disciplines: Fiction, Folk/Traditional Arts, Interdisciplinary Work, Painting, and Video/Film. This year’s recipients range in age between 26 and 77. Fifteen finalists, who do not receive a cash award, but benefit from a range of other NYFA services, were also announced. A complete list of the Fellows and Finalists follows.

The NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Program makes unrestricted cash grants of $7,000 to artists working in 15 disciplines, awarding five per year on a triennial basis. The program is highly competitive and this year’s recipients and finalists were selected by discipline-specific peer panels from an applicant pool of 3,071. Since it was launched in 1985, the program has awarded over $31 million to more than 4,500 artists.

“Artists deepen humanity and help us to understand the world and each other through their work,” said Michael L. Royce, Executive Director, NYFA. “We’re proud to collaborate with NYSCA to offer unrestricted grants to artists of all disciplines across New York State to support their artistic visions,” he added.

“We recognize that at the heart of the arts is the individual artist,” said Mara Manus, Executive Director of the New York State Council on the Arts. “These grants provide artists in a multitude of disciplines with financial support so they can take risks and flourish in their work, fueling the creative capital of New York.”

Sejal Shah, a Fellow in Fiction from Rochester, NY, reflected on the award saying: “Receiving the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship means it is possible for me to teach less, worry (a little) less, and write more. It is allowing me to focus on the big picture and helps me to believe that what I am doing has value to someone other than me. As an artist, I feel freer to take risks with my work, to experiment, and to continue to write about gender, race, silence, and speech.”

Kim Brandt, a Fellow in Interdisciplinary Work from Queens, NY, shared the following about her fellowship: “Receiving a NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship is a real gift—both a vote of confidence and a sigh of relief. On a practical level, it supports a continued commitment to my work by easing the financial burdens of its costs. For a contained stretch of time, I can pay for studio space and materials, take time away from my jobs, and travel for a residency with less worry and reduced stress. Yet to have my work recognized and acknowledged by NYFA and their panelist of arts professionals, peers, and colleagues, to be included in a roster of previous awardees whose work I’ve long admired and respected—this is the deeply meaningful support that doesn't run out once the last penny is spent. This kind of support feeds and fuels long past the fellowship period, and its value is immeasurable and unlimited.”
