Franny’s NPC Music Pals

Alternatively: McKala rudely writes a novel about Daniel Maitland and everyone else just gets bullet points.

.

Obvs she’s got a million but these are her main NPC music buddies that will be referenced in game.

 Daniel “Dan” Maitland (June 14, 1980)

FC: Martin Sensmeier 

Born in Alaska, moved to Payne Lake, Georgia when he and Franny were in middle school

Alaska Native, Tlingit and Koyukon Athabascan

 Beginning of his contact with Franny

Daniel has been Franny’s best friend since middle school. They were an inseparable trio with the late Molly Vaughn, who was Franny’s best friend since Kindergarten. The three of them got matching tattoos when they were twenty. It’s bluebonnets because of the song Cowboy Take Me Away

Daniel and Franny got a second matching tattoo the year Daniel was inducted into the Native American Music Awards Hall of Fame and they were both inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame -- it’s matching banjos on their wrists

  His dad always liked country music so he got into it a little as a kid, but mostly listened to rock in the early 90s, got real into grunge, but in late high school he rediscovered country and bluegrass music

He and Franny played in a rock band in their last two years of high school but they were both getting really into country and bluegrass together at this time so they’d get together and jam

 Acquiring a love for country/folk music

 Daniel has said in interviews that, “Unlike Franny, my music taste wasn’t very diverse until I was in  high school. I was a product of the 80s and 90s, you know, rock n roll, grunge, Franny and I were even part of a rock band with some classmates. I got a car and could drive us around. Franny usually commandeered the cassette player. She really opened my ears to influences outside of rock music.”

 On how a Nirvana fanboy grew up to study bluegrass music academically and become a bluegrass musician; “It was really our senior year of high school that I fell head over heels for country and bluegrass music. He isn’t always considered country, but I discovered the music of John Denver in the late nineties. After his death, Franny and I went to a record store and purchased one of his Best Of compilation albums because all we really knew [...] Country Roads, the obvious. We sat on my bedroom floor, I had my guitar, Franny had her thrift store mandolin, we played with that album and came up with harmonies until my sister bangs on my door at almost midnight to tell us to shut up. I found a cassette tape we recorded from that day actually, I still have it. We have a lot of recordings of our early- I don’t even want to call it work, we were just playing around. That night sent me down the rabbit hole.”

 He hasn’t just ditched rock music though, he’s a guitarist and backup singer in a female-fronted alt-rock band Venus and The Flytraps.

 He has a prolific career as a songwriter, a successful career as a solo artist, he and Franny Robinson form an americana-bluegrass duo called Dara & Danny, and he’s one of the members of a kind of “supergroup” of musicians living in Appalachia called Pardon My Banjo. Daniel used to play mandolin in a band called NDN Cowboys- a country-folk band made up of all Native Americans, but he left the band on friendly terms in 2010, the year after Dara & Danny was formed.

 Daniel went to East Tennessee State University to pursue a degree in Country, Bluegrass, and Old Time Music, the only place in the world to offer such a degree.

 Personal Life

 Daniel was born in Juneau, Alaska, to a Koyukon-Athabascan mother and a Tlingit and white father. His paternal grandfather is of English, Croatian, and Czech descent. Daniel maintains a home in his native Alaska, and in Kentucky, his primary residence. Shortly after his birth, he, his father, and his siblings moved to the Hoonah–Angoon Census Area where they lived in various communities with friends and relatives of his father, primarily Hoonah and Pelican, while his mother worked as a civil engineer in England and sent money home. He didn’t live with his mother until, in 1991, she got a job opportunity with the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the family relocated to the town of Payne Lake in Clayton County.

 “Payne Lake’s this little nowhere town sandwiched between Jonesboro and Lovejoy, in the rural part of Clayton County,” Maitland explained in an interview. “You’re driving south from Jonesboro, you blink and you passed through Bonanza and Payne Layne, then you’re in Lovejoy.”

 Daniel became a classmate of Franny Sor Robinson at Lovejoy Middle School and Lovejoy High School. “She’s been my best friend for 30 years,” Maitland said in a 2021 interview. “It’s been a gift to know her for long. We’ve been through marriages, kids, all of the good and bad in life together. It’s great to have somebody besides your family and partner to lean on and to knock some sense into you when you need it. Apart from my family, the only non-negotiable people in my life are Franny and, uh, Madalaine, my oldest kids’ mom. I’ve always just had a better time being one or two token guys in a friend group of mostly women.”

 In 2009, he and Robinson formed the duo Dara & Danny together after having regularly collaborated since the start of their music careers.

 Twice divorced, his divorces were the inspiration behind Dara & Danny’s “The Divorce Album”, a critically acclaimed and fan-beloved album about divorce and the lead up and aftermath. Daniel wrote most of the lyrics and Franny wrote the music to go with Dan’s lyrics, which was unusual because she usually writes most of the lyrics. In addition to his divorces, Daniel’s had several rocky serious relationships that have served as song inspiration.

 In 2003, Daniel married Madalaine Snow, daughter of English banjo-player John Mitchell and North Carolina Cherokee and Lumbee Native American activist, sociologist, poet, and musician Atsila Snow in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They had two children together, son Larkin Maitland Snow (b. 2003), and daughter Kalia Maitland Snow (b. 2004). They divorced in 2006 but they’ve remained friends.

 Snow’s children and older step-children from her current relationship occasionally visit Kentucky with Maitland’s children. “They’re my kids’ siblings. They’re welcome in my home anytime for a trip to the mountains with or without my kids.” Maitland has said in an Instagram live with Kalia, where he was teaching other dads how to do their daughters’ hair. “Her brother -- okay, for the sake of clarity I’m going to say just once stepbrother and stepsister, but those aren’t words we really use in our family. Her brother and sister literally call me like ‘hey, Dan, can my friends and I come crash at your place some weekend this month? We want to go hiking and white water rafting somewhere different’ and I’m like ‘great, any vegans or food allergies I need to know about for dinner?’ If you are my kids’ family, you are my family too. I stay at Maddy and Eric’s house when I have a show within an hour and a half drive to hangout with them and Larkin and Kalia. Eric and I have gone on fishing weekends together. We’re very fortunate that our divorce was a very mutual, natural conclusion to that part of our relationship, and that we’ve gotten to maintain a wonderful friendship. I feel like our marriage ending made my family grow, not shrink. And I hope all of Larkin and Kalia’s siblings through Maddy and Eric feel welcome in my family. Like a weird bonus uncle.”

 Larkin and Kalia mainly lived in Swain County, North Carolina, with their mother and attended New Kituwah Academy, a private Cherokee-language-immersion K-6 school. In 2019, Kalia moved to Cumberland, Kentucky to live with Daniel so she could graduate from high school there and get Kentucky tuition at University of Kentucky.

 In 2006, Daniel began dating Canadian actress and Mohawk indigenous rights activist Gina Taylor, but they split in 2009. They have one daughter together, Ariadne Maitland (b. 2007). Daniel is on good terms with Gina, and Ariadne lives primarily in Kentucky with him. 

He briefly dated Oscar-nominated actress Amanda Dunham in 2009.

 He married Australian journalist Sasha Teller in 2010. They divorced in 2014 and had two children together, boy girl twins Jack and Maxie (b. 2011). In 2018, he sued her for primary custody, citing Teller withholding his right to see the twins. He won primary physical and joint legal custody of Jack and Maxie, and was court-ordered to have the twins spend Christmas and three weeks in the summer with Sasha in Australia.

 In 2019, his son Larkin came out as pansexual and two-spirit. Dan retweeted their tweets that clarified their pronouns are “he/xe/they” and that “I don’t dislike the terms nephew, son, grandson, but do not call me a man.” He has been supportive of his son’s identity, appearing at North Carolina and Kentucky pride events with them, his daughter, and their mother.

 In February 2016, Daniel began dating American artist, poet, writer, and singer-songwriter Whitney Sullivan (born April 8, 1991). Her mother is from the Zuni tribe and she grew up on the Zuni reservation with her siblings, mother, and her father, whose ancestry comes from the Lummi, Ute, and Omaha tribes, and one Irish great-grandfather, hence the last name. 

 On her friend’s current girlfriend, Franny Sor Robinson has said, “If Daniel don’t marry her, I might have to.”

What Are The Highs and Lows Of Celebrity Diets

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

By CELEBRITY EDITOR FOR SUSTAIN HEALTH 

PUBLISHED: 06:22, 12 December 2019 | UPDATED: 06:28, 12 December 2019

January is traditionally ‘diet month’! And that’s no different for celebrities or us mere mortals. A recent survey from commissioned by Alive! multi-vitamins, found only 31% of respondents knew what constitutes a healthy diet.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

No wonder then there is massive confusion within the wider population of what’s good and what’s not when it comes to eating. Plus, latest NDNS (National Diet and Nutrition Survey) data tells us we’re still consuming well below the recommended one portion of oily fish per week, therefore many of these celebs are also going to have hormone issues if they’re not careful.

However, we all want to look as good as them, so clinical nutritionist, Suzie Sawyer, looks at whether their diets are healthy or just a passing fad. She also investigates the likely nutrient deficiencies they may cause, and why our celebs may need to supplement their diets.

Intermittent Fasting is rapidly becoming one of the most popular celeb diets and is favoured by Kourtney Kardashian. The usual routine is to skip breakfast and eat one meal around 1pm and another around 8pm.  The body is then fasting for 16 hours. This diet will produce weight loss because the body burns fat when it’s in the post-absorptive phase of digestion. 

This means it’s not been fed for a while and insulin levels are low allowing fat burning to happen. Problems can arise because there are only two windows of opportunity for eating well-balanced, nutrient rich foods with a good proportion of macronutrients.

What does it look like? Eggs, smoked salmon and avocado for the first meal and chicken, broccoli and quinoa for dinner.

Pros and cons:  There are many health benefits to this diet especially relating to heart disease and inflammatory issues.  However, it may be low in antioxidants, which can affect the immune system, because there’s less opportunity for food intake overall.

Fad or glad?  This one needs to be strictly followed to stand any chance of the body getting what it needs.

Still one of the most popular celebrity diets is the Keto Diet and is favoured by Halle Berry and the model Adriana Lima.  The crux of this one is super-low carbs, with high fat, pushing the body into ketosis; the body is forced into breaking down fat for fuel.  Whilst there’s certainly merit in keeping a diet low in carbs overall, which reduces release of the fat-storing hormone insulin, following the Keto for a prolonged period can lead to acidosis or at the very least mood swings, constipation and energy lows. 

However, it’s certainly very effective for weight loss and you can choose the rate at which you want to lose weight by closely monitoring the total number of calories you’re eating on a daily basis.  For example, if you want to lose a kilo per week (a sensible approach), an averaged sized woman would need to eat around 1,500 calories daily.  Around 65% of those calories would come from fat.

What does it look like?  Eggs and bacon for breakfast, chicken and salad for lunch and steamed fish with mixed vegetables for dinner.

Pros and cons:  Weight loss can be achieved quickly, and with around 30% of calories coming from protein, the body won’t lose muscle mass, which frequently happens on weight loss plans.  However, you’ll likely to have quite a few nutrient deficiencies especially calcium as the diet contains no dairy or other calcium-rich foods such as soya milk.

Fad or glad?  Probably not a diet for the long-term but can be effective for weight loss in the short term, with potential of reducing the growing obesity crisis in the UK.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Veganuary (Vegan January) is here again and is sure to be as popular this year as last January. The tennis ace, Venus Williams and singer, Ariana Grande are both great advocates of being vegan which certainly proves how successful and healthy it can be.

The vegan diet contains no foods from animal sources at all, therefore it will naturally contain lots of nutrient-rich fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes.  Another positive of the diet is that since our food chain is far from perfect with tonnes of animal produce being pumped full of chemicals and antibiotics, you’ll be escaping their onslaught!  They’re certainly not beneficial to human health!

What does it look like?  Homemade beans on wholegrain toast for breakfast, chunky vegetable soup with barley and tofu for lunch and vegetarian goulash with wholegrain brown rice for dinner. You’ll not be hungry on this one! 

Pros and cons:  The vegan diet is generally nutrient dense with good levels of lots of key trace minerals such as magnesium, potassium and calcium.  However, vegans can sometimes miss out on vital vitamins, especially vitamin B12.  Interestingly, tempeh is taking over from tofu in terms of popularity as a vegan protein source.  Tempeh contains probiotics, which naturally encourage the body’s production of vitamin B12, so this could help to plug some of the gap.  However, taking a daily multi vitamin is recommended.

Fad or glad? Veganism is certainly increasing in popularity, but many people have had to revert to eating some animal protein due to varying health issues, often associated with low protein intake.

The Zone Diet has been around for many years but is still very popular with celebs, including Jennifer Anniston. It’s based on being ‘In the Zone’ where your body better manages the insulin response and has more control of inflammatory issues. The diet requires balance of 1/3 protein and 2/3 carbohydrates with just a small amount of monounsaturated fats from avocado, olive oil and nut butters.

The great news about this diet is that it includes plenty of colourful foods

every day and is much more likely to give the body the nutrients it needs; richly coloured fruits and vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals.

However, it’s lacking in essential polyunsaturated omega-3 fats found in oily fish, nut and seeds.  These fats are needed for hormone balance, glowing skin, healthy eyes, heart and brain.

What does it look like? Egg white omelette with spinach and mushrooms for breakfast, chicken salad with avocado for lunch and roasted cod with veggies for dinner.

Pros and cons:  The diet will naturally contain loads of antioxidants because there’s plenty fruits and vegetables included, although starchy veg and highly sugary fruits such as bananas should be avoided. It’s low in essential omegas, plus it’s difficult to get the ratios exactly right which may deflect from its effectiveness. However, any diet that reduces inflammation can certainly promote longevity, so some celebs may be hoping they’re immortal!

Fad or glad?  Most criticism of this diet has been about its sustainability and the difficulties in maintaining it with a busy lifestyle.  A fad for most.

The Paleo Diet has been on the scene for many years with the likes of Miley Cyrus and Matthew McConaughey being enthusiastic fans.  It’s basically a throw-back to caveman times! So, it’s based on meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.  However, out go dairy, sugar, grains, legumes and beans.

The good news is that since it’s based on healthy eating principles, with foods that are not processed or pumped full of hormones, it’s certainly not in ‘fad’ territory unlike some other celebrity diets. 

What does it look like? Spinach, mushroom and tomato omelette to start the day (look for omega-3 enriched eggs), wild salmon salad for lunch and organic roasted chicken with mashed sweet potatoes, broccoli and peas for dinner. It’s not going to be cheap!

Pros and cons:  Your diet will be very ‘clean’ with no refined foods allowed.  It naturally follows that you’ll be getting a great range of nutrients. However, the Paleo Diet could lead to deficiencies in the mineral iodine, since dairy is one of the main sources.   We know from our National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS)2 data that 17% of women of child-bearing age are iodine-deficient.  Iodine is key for growth and brain development during pregnancy.

Fad or glad?  It’s not fad but it carries a high price tag!

These diets are all nutrient deficient in some areas.  Taking a high potency daily multivitamin and mineral such as Alive! Ultra Wholefood Plus, which contains a unique blend of 26 fruits and vegetables, plus nutrient-rich botanical blends, is going to plug the gaps.  Formulations have been carefully targeted for men and women and men and women 50+.  Visit www.feelaliveuk.com

Sophie Turner: Joe Jonas had to sign a ‘Game of Thrones’ NDA

Sophie Turner: Joe Jonas had to sign a ‘Game of Thrones’ NDA Sophie Turner: Joe Jonas had to sign a ‘Game of Thrones’ NDA https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Sophie Turner’s fiance Joe Jonas had to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) after learning how Game Of Thrones ends.

The hit U.S. TV show will conclude with a final eighth season which premieres later this month.

While details about the upcoming episodes are being kept tightly under wraps, one person who knows the highly-anticipated ending of the show is singer Joe. Sophie, who plays Sansa Stark in the show, previously revealed that her fiance became privy to how Game of Thrones ends, and has now revealed bosses were so determined to keep it a secret that they made him sign a NDA.

“Joe was on set most of the time so he kind of figured it out and he was like, ‘Can you fill me (in)?’” Sophie told Entertainment Tonight (ET). “And, he signed an NDN, NDA and everything so it’s all good.”

The 23-year-old actress has long been open about how difficult she’s found it bidding farewell to Game of Thrones, after starring as Sansa since the show first debuted back in 2011.

Kit Harington thinks 'Game of Thrones' inspired Trump's presidency

But she added to ET that she’s feeling better about things after undergoing therapy when she finished filming the series.

“Six or seven months ago, just after Game of Thrones finished, I went through a bit of a wobble as I think everyone would when 10 years of your life is suddenly like gone and you will never be that character again,” she explained. “I went through a bit of an identity crisis and suddenly feeling a little bit inferior. And then, you know, therapy really helped and now I kind of own everything.”

As for what she’ll miss the most about playing Sansa, Sophie smiled: “I think the thing I will miss the most is being in character, in costume, on these amazing sets and being with this crew of people for 12 hours a day and these other actors in their costumes as their characters… I’ve just never been happier on a set then Game of Thrones.”

Valentine’s Day

From dancing and dinner at supper club Le Balcon to a weekend of all things chocolate at Je t’aime en chocolat at Marché Bonsecours, Montréal dedicates not only one day but several to Valentine’s romance. For the big night itself though, go big with special multi-course meals at an excellent romantic restaurant such as Les 400 Coups, Toqué!, La Rose des Sable, Europea, Carte Blanche, Ikanos, Tandem and many more. Make Valentine’s Day even sweeter with maple syrup treats at Délices Érables & Cie or with more chocolate at Juliette & Chocolat. Go for a romantic snowshoe in Mount Royal Park, or take in the city lights together from on high from the observation deck of Au Sommet Place Ville Marie.

More wining and dining

So many ways to warm up from the inside out in Montréal… Start with a big bowl of pho or Japanese authentic ramen on a wintery day and end with signature cocktails at one of Montréal’s Hidden Bars. Or cozy up next to Montréal’s coziest fireplaces or go for something different at the city’s new bars and restaurants. Discover excellent restaurants in some of Montréal’s most popular neighbourhoods or indulge at the Casino de Montréal’s L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon. Style meets substance at Montréal’s tea houses, whether you’re looking for a quinessential Parisian café, traditional British high tea or calming Japanese green tea. Feed your sweet tooth and spoil your inner child at Montréal’s candy shops – they’ve seriously got everything. Or snowshoe your way to gastronomic delights on lantern-lit Mount Royal at Les amis de la montagne fundraiser Tuques Bleus on Feb. 16.
