Not everything is as it seems in the once pristine life of Adrienne Ferreira. Abandoning pretenciousness for a life of partying, she soon realizes that things aren't always in her favor, no matter how quickly she tries to gain control. With only her best friend, Kat by her side, she must gracefully make her way through one of the worst situations she's placed herself in, and somehow stay on top, even if it means dragging a few heads down in the process. Can she ever regain perfection? Or is she destined to stay on bottom forever?
Excuse the shortness! Trying not to give away spoilers!
I'm actually really excited about this. The first script is done, and I plan on adding more characters as the story progresses, but here's the cast for now!
There's LOTS of cursing, general bad language, dirty jokes, etc, so I ask that everyone is fully aware of that, and proceeds with caution. The characters are all terrible human beings, but so am I, so that's what makes it work.
Everyone who auditions for a character [Sterling auditions in particular] will also be considered for characters in future episodes. Filming 8+ sims at once is hard and terrifying, so yeah, only a couple at a time.
Feel free to improv lines for any character [my lines are taken straight from the episodes, so they sound weird out of context] and please please please include the reel of crying/laughing/etc if the character denotes that. It just helps with the entirety of the casting :D
Thank you so much! Good luck, have fun, and should you have any questions whatsoever, feel free to message me here, or email me at [redacted]. <3
The product of too much spoiling and far too much privilege, Emelyn is currently in the process of finding herself, after a constant string of being held back, due to her strong desire for her own independence. The youngest in the Sheppard family, Emelyn was sheltered extremely starting at a young age, causing an extreme shock to her system once she left home for school. She has since dropped out, and spends her time traveling [on her parent's dime] and has picked up a few modeling gigs in between. Her current obsession is Paris, with annoying the shit out of her brother being a close second.
Emelyn can be extremely loud and feisty, but can also be extremely loving and sweet as well. Having grown up, much like Adrienne, with a strict routine of manners and discipline, she does tend to give off an aura of being extremely stuck up and pretentious, but, unlike her brother, is actually just, if not more than, crude. Doesn't have any hidden secrets, but knows everything about everyone, friends and family non excluded. Her parents are low key terrified of her.
Emelyn is 20 at the start of the series.
[annoyed] Oh please, you're not fooling anyone. My bras cost more than your botched boob job.
[laughing] So you're the bitch who's out to ruin my brother?
Improv Line
The oldest in her small family of four, she is often pushed to the side in favor of her younger sister, Melanie. Fresh out of high school, and ready to explore the world as a grown up, her idea of a good time consists of ranging debauchery and making some very poor life choices.
Overall, Adrienne is rather loud, crude, outspoken, and generally extremely cynical, given her posh upbringing. She carries extreme self esteem issues and refuses to share any details of her past life with anyone aside from her roommate and long time best friend, Kat.
Adrienne often finds herself in rather crude situations of her own belligerence, but underneath the constant RBF and barrage of inappropriately timed jokes, she does have a soft side, which only lasts a few seconds, depending on the person.
Adrienne is 18 at the start of the series [and has a passion for swearing, auditioner be warned]
Ah yes, the dreaded question of 'how in the fuck did I end up here? It wasn't the best of situations, and while I was totally aware of everything, I sadly had no crutch to justify my poor life choices.
I swear, she's crushed that I left her bullshit private school. I'm already drowning in debt, but you know, I figure I'd flock to the stoners, junkies, and effeminate male gathering ground to stay sane.
Improvised Line [OR] reel of crying/laughing/screaming
The spoiled younger sister of Adrienne, Melanie uses her mother's disgust of her sister in order to stay in the spotlight. Melanie is the pinnacle of perfection, doing whatever she can to beat her sister, regardless of the cause.
Melanie is extremely entitled and does anything in order to stay in her mother's good graces, regardless of how demeaning or ridiculous. Is very poised and polite, but can be extremely cruel and vicious on the inside. She can be rather self destructive, and channels that toward others, specifically Adrienne and her friend group. Melanie attempts to follow in her mother's footsteps and has the over exaggerated fear of being left alone, much like her mother was months prior to when she was born.
Melanie is basically a smol bitch.
Melanie is 15 at the start of the series.
Unlike you, I'm actually doing something with my life. Something doesn't include fucking the whole town because you're too insecure to actually settle down with something!
Maybe you should try a crash diet. I know you don't care, but having a fat lesbian as my sister is actually rather insulting.
reel of crying/laughing/yelling, be as over dramatic and bitchy as possible.
Kat, as she insists everyone calls her, has a rocky relationship with the rest of her family and keeps extremely little contact with them. More or less the motherly figure between the duo, Kat, while mostly an accessory to Adrienne's antics, knows the ins and outs of being an adult.
Kat's personality completely depends on the person she's with. While mostly friendly and upbeat, she's known to go from various stages of anger or annoyance rather quickly. Her shortened temper has been mostly contained while living on her own, however.
She's more often than not contemplating her current relationships, as she wishes to break the cycle of putting others before herself, which in her opinion, got old too fast. Has a passion for everything artistic [as well as alcoholic] and is quite the creative mind.
Kat is 21 at the beginning of the series.
Yeah, because she's so concerned the only good thing that came out of her isn't chasing after the dream of popping Adderall and wine drinking to cope with a loveless marriage. Your mom's a piece of shit, you know that?
Jesus, how are you remembering all these people? [defensive] And for your information, she didn't leak hers, they somehow 'accidentally' ended up on my phone.
Improv line
On again, off again girlfriend of Sterling, Jessa is a complex character. She has a very easy time making friends, but can make enemies just as quick, if not more. Jessa has an extreme problem with commitment, and is often calling off her longtime relationship with her boyfriend. Has an extreme dislike toward Emelyn, especially considering how protective she is of her brother, and attempts to drive them apart, though this often times does not work in her favor.
Emelyn looked up to Jessa at one point, finding her life much more exciting than hers, and the two were once close. However, this was merely a ploy to get closer to her brother. Jessa is what you could consider the cheaper model of the two. She dropped out in between her junior and senior year, and hasn't gone back since. She manages to maintain a luxury lifestyle by mooching off her boyfriend's family.
Jessa is extremely blunt and sarcastic, but at the same time, rather seductive. Her sex appeal is her biggest [and only] asset
Jessa is 22 at the beginning of the series.
[sarcastic] You learn a lot of communication skills in rehab.
[falsely innocent] What? All I'm trying to do is make sure that his side-bitch knows her place, that's all.
[annoyed] If that's how it's gonna be, then fine. I guess you were never actually into this then.
Mother to Melanie and Adrienne, what she lacks in parenting is made up in her ability to manipulate. She wasn't always this nasty, but after years of an unhappy marriage, followed by two unwanted pregnancies and the suicide of her husband, everything changed. She began using this inner torment by attempting to shape every aspect of her children's lives in order to have them avoid the same fate as her.
Elena's personality differs, while she can always be seen favoring Melanie, when it's only herself and Adrienne, she learns to tolerate her. Having been extremely wealthy, she has a variety of resources at hand, coming up to the caliber of Emelyn, she, however, doesn't always use them for the better of others. Adrienne's departure from the household crushed her, as it justified how bad of a mother she actually was, and therefore has sent her into 'materialistic mommy' mode, where she uses gifts and monetary offers in order to win her daughter back. This, however, doesn't work in her favor.
Elena is extremely good at hiding her actual feelings and using the art of manipulation to her advantage. Lying and being able to cry on command helps out, too.
Elena is 35 at the start of the series.
And what the hell do you think? That'd he'd just give everything up for you, because you fucked up? Get real!
[falsely sweet] You know how teenagers are, once they hit that age, it's almost like they forget who raised them.
[angry/verge of tears] Go to hell! AND Reel of crying/yelling/laughing
Younger sister of Elena, aunt of Adrienne and Melanie. Serena is one of a kind, having spent so many years outside the family. She loves her eldest niece dearly, yet shares similar opinions with her toward the younger one. Serena is the surrogate mother substitute for Adrienne, having helped raise her for a few years after her father died.
Serena is very much a child at heart, and understands the nuances of attempting to grow up, especially under difficult circumstances. She fits right in with Adrienne's friend group, and is often confused as Adrienne's older sister.
Much like her niece, she can become very feisty at will, and isn't afraid to let the claws out whenever needed.
Serena is 32 at the beginning of the series.
*being able to rapidly curse in spanish is a major plus, regardless of whether or not you can speak it. Literally anyone can still audition, though! :D *
High key feel free to submit rapid fire spanish speaking, if you're able to master that wonderous skill.
And you're just letting him do that? What the hell?
Once you realize it's better to give yourself than to give them stuff, I'll leave you alone. Otherwise, you're not in the clear.
[yelling] Because she needs a mother more than ever! If you would stop driving her away, she wouldn't be in this mess!
Mother of Emelyn and Sterling, Holly is anything but slowed down. Encouraging her children to go beyond the norm, she is extremely young at heart, and, much like Serena and Adrienne, can often be confused as their wizened older sister, rather than their wealthy birth giver.
Can be posh and polite when need be, but grows extremely tired of this rather quickly. Holly is an energetic, hilarious addition to the Sheppard family, and has a youthful aura about her, following mostly with people in her daughter's age group, than any of her own friends.
Holly is a force to be reckoned with. Much like her daughter, she's extremely fierce, slays in practically every aspect, and isn't afraid to be blunt when need be. She's rather supportive of both her kids, and is constantly telling Sterling to calm down, and follow more in his sister's footsteps.
While she may be up in age, Holly is the definition of fabulous.
[high key, try these with a British accent.]
Your melodramatics are both hysterical and tragic. It's moments like these I question who in the hell told me it was a good idea to start a family.
[feigning innocence] You'd really do that to me? Who else will join me on weekend soirees and the occasional botox session?
[sarcastically/bored] Oh, I like your outfit too, except when I dress up as a frigid bitch, I try not to look so constipated.
Eldest child of the Sheppard family, Sterling is actually quite difficult to make out at first. His motives are generally unknown, and aside from his mother and sister, he doesn't allow many people to get to know the 'real' him. Can oftentimes be extremely distant, stoic, and rather brash, however, once the walls break down, he's pretty much a joy to be around.
Sterling, unlike his sister, prefers to be in the background. His relationship with Jessa gives him the label of being a player, considering how quickly they both are to go on a romantic break and see other people. He finds himself growing further apart from his longtime girlfriend, but refuses to let anyone aside from Emelyn know how he actually feels.
At a young age, he's taken priority of keeping his family ever since his mother divorced his father. He can be rather overprotective of those he cares about, however, since he's lived on his own, he's a bit more lax than that.
Generally the kind of guy to make jokes with a straight face and be the only one to not get them
Sterling is 23 years old at the beginning of the series.
[annoyed] Since when do you give a shit about my personal life? I already told you , it's none of your fucking buisness. Jessa and I are fine, you're just a spoiled brat because I spend more time with you than with her.
[yelling] Would you just shut the hell up? You don't know me! You don't know anything about me!
[deadpan] So I guess you're expecting me to swoop in with flowers and chocolate? News flash, princess: Not. Gonna. Happen.

- Country's Cross-border insolvency law also inline with the UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission on International trade law) model. If any other country has dealt with the insolvency proceedings to recover the defaulter's asset which is lying in India, then the country will also co-operate as per the law.
- Recently and in the past few years, we had seen that some of the companies went bankrupt or way to the bankruptcy like Jaypee Infra, Unitech, Amtek auto. As they had the plenty of debt that lead to the defaulter.

Seattle might be notorious for niche coffee shops and scenic waterways, but locals know it's also home to an array of people who love to create. This city is chock-full of artists who we love to feature weekly on Seattle Refined! If you have a local artist in mind that you would like to see featured, let us know at email@example.com. And if you're wondering just what constitutes art, that's the beauty of it; it's up to you!
Seattle Refined: How long have you been around/writing together/performing?
Bailey: I've been writing and performing in some way shape or form for as long as I can remember. It started in elementary and middle school, doing plays and singing in church. I started playing guitar and really writing songs when I was 12 or 13. That lead to playing my songs on guitar as loud as I could on the side walks of Sequim, Washington, where I grew up. When I wasn't at school singing in choir or maybe in the school musical, you could find me outside every weekend trying to get people to listen and throw money into my guitar case. Somehow that lead to me signing my first publishing deal with a company in Nashville at the age of 15, and moving there to write and be an artist full time at the age of 17. It was inevitable, but that is the short version of the story.
Tell us about the artistic process and the different stages that work into it.
The artistic process changes for me all the time. There is so much creative energy that can go into writing and releasing music. I write all of my own songs, which can come about in many different ways. Sometimes the song writing process starts with a poem in the notes on my phone, or a guitar riff that I like, or me walking into a co-write and venting for two hours to the other writers about something going on in my life. It usually is at least inspired by, or starts from a very personal place. Recently my creative process has expanded beyond the writing element, as I've been in the studio recording a whole new batch of music. It was important to me to start learning about and really involving myself in the production process, which I had never done before. For me, that meant asking Clint Lagerberg (producer/writer extraordinaire) if I could spend hours just sitting in his studio, trying to explain my vision for each song despite my lack of technical knowledge, and learning by watching and giving input as he completed those visions. It was the best experience to be that much closer to the creation of my own music.
Where does your inspiration come from? What other musical artists do you take inspiration from?
My inspiration comes from everything. I think its a blessing and a curse that I spend most of my time in my own head turning every situation into some kind of song or story. Whether it is something I'm going through, or something I heard or saw that made me feel I certain way, good or bad. I love to find ways to tell the story of an emotion, whether that's through extremely personal lyrics, or the right sounds in the track. I take little pieces of inspiration from so many different artists. J Cole is one of the best lyricists and storytellers releasing music today in my opinion, his music inspires me to go deeper and push boundaries from a lyrical standpoint. I love how clear Halsey's artistic vision is in everything she does, I'm inspired by emotion in her vocals and visuals. And believe it of not, Post Malone was a huge inspiration for me when it came to the production of this new music, he provides such a cool example of genre blending and bending. I could go on and on, I just love so many songs from so many artists and genres, and I think it all has an influence, even if I don't realize it.
What kind of genre is your music? What kinds of things do you write about?
The genre of my music is country! It is country from a girl who grew up on the west coast, listening to and loving all genres, but who found herself the most passionate about the words in the songs. The heart of country music is the words and the stories, and being proud of who you are and where you come from, that always resonated with me. So, when I picked up a guitar and wrote a song for the first time, that's what came out! I write about what everybody writes about, just through my own lens. Love and loss, the good times and bad times. Life is so full of little stories.
Something that crippled my songwriting for a while was anxiety, I went through a period of time where I wasn't as inspired to write because I was so worried about what people would think of what I had to say. Until one day I wrote about that feeling, because that was all I had. That's how my most recent song, "Songbird" came to be. I make it a rule now to just write about what I'm feeling, or write something that I would want to hear. Nothing else matters when I'm writing.
Do you have one song that means more to you or is extremely special to you?
Songs mean different things to me at different times. Right now "Love Yourz", from J Coles 2016 "Forest Hills Drive" album is my anthem. It's about choosing to love what you have instead of constantly making comparisons.
What experiences in your life have shaped your music/art?
There are definitely a few key events in my life that have shaped me as an artist. I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 13, and had corrective surgery for that at the age of 16. That whole experience really forced me to grow and find confidence within myself, despite all of the physical difficulties and changes I was experiencing. That inspired a lot of the music from my first EP. Along with moving across the country and living on my own for the first time as an 18 year old, all for my dream of doing music. The music that I've been working on most recently have been inspired by my life now, trying to figure out what it means to be an adult, to run my own business and trust myself and really have control, meanwhile try to have a real life and experience things and grow from that. I'm still dealing with the anxiety and self doubt that comes with all of those things, but let me tell you, it can make for some very real songs.
If we want to see more of your work where should we go to find? What about upcoming shows?
If you want to know more about my music just look me up anywhere! I'm on all the streaming platforms. I'm on instagram and twitter as @baileymyown I HIGHLY suggest you go onto Youtube and search "Bailey Bryan Songbird" and you will find my new music video out today.
You can also catch my performance at the CMA Songwriters Series show with Cassadee Pope, Walker McGuire and Barry Dean Tuesday, Dec. 4 at Showbox SoDo from 7-9pm.
What is next for you? Anything you're working on right now that you're really excited about?
I'm VERY excited about the release of "Songbird," and all of the new music that I am getting ready to put out in the new year. This is the start of a new chapter for me!
Lastly, how do you take your coffee? We ask everyone!
I take my coffee with almond milk and sugar! But really, I'll drink coffee any way it's presented to me, any time. I am tired.

Buzzing Daily
Darcie - Modern Day Housewife
Up-and-coming singer and multi-instrumentalist Zigi Porter, who operates under the moniker Darcie, strikes an inimitable balance between subtlety and spaciousness with her minimalist songwriting and maximalist production style. The eclectic, Manchester-based solo artist's recently released track "Modern Day Housewife" captures the essence of what makes her both a no-nonsense storyteller and a mystical tour de force. The song is an artful, left-of-center rumination on the life and unbending expectations of millennials. With down-to-earth yet unapologetically honest phrasing like, "We are we are / Cosmetically / Replacing our brains" Porter points to the ways in which our obsession with constantly improving our outward appearance is rapidly contributing to our inevitable demise. Although this phenomenon affects each and every one of us, female and feminine-identifying people often feel a certain pressure to build up these fabricated, social-media-constructed personas. That being said, Porter doesn't use any gender-specific language other than the term 'housewife' which she adapts in an all-inclusive way. Porter's lyrics might appear overly critical on the surface, but it's important to keep in mind that as a young millennial woman she is highlighting problems that she herself faces. "Modern Day Housewife" is a communal effort to help us all understand ourselves in this current day and age a little better. Darcie's ethereal, lo-fi pop-soul sound is truly genre-bending and impossible to classify—there is nothing else like it. Look out for Darcie's debut EP Conversations with a Hot Dog due for release at the end of July.— Andrea de Varona on July 15, 2019
Samia - Ode to Artifice
Sharp-toothed and honey slick: somehow Samia, the 22-year-old New York songstress whose warbling wit has captured the attention of acts like Father John Misty, manages both. The singer's latest release, "Ode to Artifice," stands as no exception, serving up a relatable dose of anxious self-reflection wherein she begs her authentic self and stage persona to just merge already! "Keep it together for both of us," she pleads, her desperate itch for a confidence supplemented by more than just makeup and party tricks sanded down into an inviting, retro-groove. Such vulnerable self-cynicism—a phrasing that would sound utterly oxymoronic to the uninitiated ear—is nothing new to the artist, who often uses her work to explore the ugly and uncomfortable through a feminist lens. It's enough to argue that Samia goes down kind of like a top-shelf whiskey; in her warmth and smoothness, there's a potency that will absolutely kick your ass if you're not careful.— Lindsay Thomaston on July 12, 2019
Generationals - Breaking Your Silence
Generationals are a beautiful anachronism. They write the kind of songs you might (quite reasonably) assume were hits decades ago the first time you hear them because their soulful, retro stylings are more than an excuse to write soulful, retro songs, but are instead an inseparable facet of the band's identity. But they seem to love smoothing over these potentially jarring juxtaposition—in the accompanying video for their latest single, "Breaking Your Silence," a truck mounted with a video billboard shows the band performing in front of a vanilla concrete wall while driving through the idyllic wilderness. The truck, with its abrasive video screen, seems out of place at first, but dogs still frolic in its wake. The drum kit sounds like it's covered in a layer of dust and the chorus explodes with a wall of sound like the Motown greats, but these techniques are used in the service of a sound more akin to trendsetters like The Strokes than to other retro-soul reenactors. Generationals' fourth full-length album, Reader As Detective, is due out July 19th.— Daniel Shanker on July 12, 2019
Casey Dubie - Confetti*
Vermont-born singer-songwriter Casey Dubie has arrived with a stripped down version of her folk-pop ballad, "Confetti." Feather-soft musings of both ache and fondness cascade around the listener like the very squares of rainbow tissue the song is named for. Such lightness is thanks in part to Dubie's chiming harmonies echoing in the background, which lend a fuller, more mesmerizing tone to the song's acoustic approach. Fans of acts like Daughter and Oh Wonder will appreciate "Confetti*"'s warm glow and accessible lyricism.— Lindsay Thomaston on July 11, 2019
Spoon - No Bullets Spent
"No Bullets Spent" is a Spoon song. It was released as part of the announcement of Spoon's upcoming greatest hits album, Everything Hits At Once,and it has all of the hallmarks of what defines Spoon—the introduction has Britt Daniel's snarling voice echoing with the reverb of their more experimental outings before Jim Eno's simple drumbeat highlights the dual staccato guitar hits. Outside of numerous song placements in films and TV shows, Spoon has never quite hit the mainstream, although they perhaps came close when a video surfaced of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg playing the instantly recognizable piano riff from "The Way We Get By." A perpetual cool-kid's band, able to co-headline with The Shins but open for Cage The Elephant, Spoon's remarkably consistent and perhaps intimidatingly deep catalog—spanning nine full-length albums—is an obvious candidate for a greatest hits collection. In an era of playlists and single song streams, Everything Hits At Once is a way to canonize the work of a beloved band for future generations and "No Bullets Spent" is a summary of an astounding career and a commitment to continue forward. This is Spoon.— Daniel Shanker on July 11, 2019
Arlo Parks - george
London-based Arlo Parks' twitter bio reads "poetry baby with a little side of soft rock," and that is truly the best descriptor of the 18-year-old singer/songwriter's sound. Her latest single, "george," is a perfect example of this—blending elements of jazz, R&B, and soft rock together with some masterful lyricism to create an ambient, magnetic track. Parks' newest song was named for the famed English poet and notorious narcissist and heartbreaker, Lord George Gordon Byron, and his legacy is reflected in the poetry of Park's lyrics and her message on reckless loving. Her story builds as she describes the mess a careless lover can leave behind and stays grounded in both the melodic anchor of the guitar riff that plays coolly under her vocals and the arresting visuals Parks creates. Vivid colors appear all over the track—rose quartz, purple rose petals tracked around a pool, powder blue walls—creating a more complete sensory experience than we have any right to expect from a song. Parks hauntingly illustrates the marks her lover leaves, singing, "you leave a bit of blood in every room," and describes how those marks linger with her somber chorus line, "I know that you've been here." Arlo Parks reveals wisdom beyond her 18 years, but "george" also proves that the intensity of these feelings is something that transcends age as well as era.— Brigid Moser on July 10, 2019
Rayland Baxter - 2009
With his smooth and steady voice, Rayland Baxter pays homage to the life of the late rapper Mac Miller with his cover of "2009". Rayland's typically folky vocals sport a new outfit, gliding over the jazzy piano and showcasing a different domain wherein his talent resides. While the track does take on a sound unique to Rayland Baxter, the charm and lyrical mastery of Miller remain. This is the second-released track from his upcoming EP, good mmornin, which will consist solely of covers of Mac Miller's work as a tribute to his life. "2009" is a glass-house glance into the troubles and triumphs throughout Miller's life, sung with love and respect by a dedicated, and endearing self-proclaimed fan.— Laney Esper on July 10, 2019
Michael Nau - Rides Through The Morning
Michael Nau's "Rides Through The Morning" sounds like going to church. His newest single, released via Karma Chief Records, is reminiscent of a different time. The first verse has a slow start—minimal instrumentation and a choral arrangement that brings to mind a church choir. The lyrics of the first verse nod to the sound, stating, " Go by the breeze, I'm bound to pine / You will always come to mind / And rescue my dream down this marvelous stream / Where holy waters overflow." The chorus picks up with a nostalgic 1950s/1960s inspired blues, "Alas the ship rides through the morning / When the darkness aptly grows / Now every bit of the, bit of the, bit of the, bit of the sun is shining / I feel it calling, feel it calling me back home / Put down your sorrows and dance with me." This song is the perfect mash-up of psychedelic-folk and soul, the ideal soundtrack for all these sunny days. You'll be listening to "Rides Through The Morning" all summer long while driving with the windows down. Nau's two newest singles, "No Quit" and "Rides Through The Morning," will be released on vinyl August 16, 2019, but can be streamed pretty much anywhere right now.— Anastasia Philabaum on July 9, 2019
Ritual Talk - If
Imagine you're driving down a long, wooded road in the middle of a calm summer day. The sun is shining, there are no other cars around, and the lush green trees trick the light into casting prismatic shadows across everything around you. Then, the perfect song comes on your queue: it's indie rock trio Ritual Talk's dreamy new single, "If." The otherworldly soundscapes, psychedelic guitar riffs, and shimmering synths are reminiscent of nature's hypnotically effortless beauty. Slapping drums push the song forward with vigor and optimism, and the hopeful melody, luminous in the form of singer Alex Desimine's soothing vocals, feels like the sun coming through the clouds after rain. "If I hold my breath for another second more / fall to the floor," he sings in the chorus, and his vocals drift off naturally into the arrangement, almost as if they had been born out of it. "If" is a vivid, atmospheric daydream, and it's Ritual Talk's best work yet.— Britnee Meiser on July 8, 2019
Vagabon - Flood Hands
Lætitia Tamko, better known by her moniker Vagabon, leans into electronic with her newest single "Flood Hands." Tamko's voice glides over each beat and synthesizer, shifting from deep and syrupy to high and piercing with casual precision. She played every instrument and produced the entire track, which explains the extreme cohesion. Every sound builds or subtracts from the ones around it as it peaks and drops in just the right places. It is eerie and ethereal as Tamko explores submission to the unknown of love and life. The vulnerability that one must embrace if they are to truly experience it in its full capacity as she sings, "I know even if I run from it / I'm still in it / I know I'll hold you so close." It's not defeatism though—it's a sincere belief that releasing control could be the answer. "Flood Hands" is the first taste of Vagabon's upcoming second album All the Women in Me due out via Nonesuch Records on September 27th.— Corey Bates on July 8, 2019
Erin Durant - Islands
"Islands," the title track from New York singer-songwriter Erin Durant's recently released sophomore LP, is an open-windowed summer lullaby that captures the emotional dissonance that simultaneously experiencing beautiful weather and heartbreak can bring. Swelling piano melodies, the hiss of jazz-tinged percussion, and Hemingway references alight the tune, while Durant coos with the kind of quiet gravitas that harkens the greats of the folk revival. Durant seems to find some comfort in lyrical escapism, lines that paint images of drinking champagne on the Californian coast are informed by the ones that imply tension—"the islands are calling / the islands are calling / you told me to go and have a good time." Durant's narrator never settles on the ground, but even as the islands call and heartbreak looms at home, the tune shifts and expands like a kaleidoscope of swooning piano and summer breeze.— Emma Bowers on July 5, 2019

Sirithiliel posted a topic in Show OffBased him off a Sally Lightfoot Crab. Because I like my undead creatures to be bright and colorful. Makes them all the more tragic Base is originally a Corpse Field base by Secret Weapon from my Bag O' Crap, which I modified into coral reef shallows. I imagine he's rising out of the ocean and scuttling up onto shore. Don't know if it's very noticeable, but I used a thin layer of realistic water over the base and I dripped some into the hole in his shell as if he's still got water in there after coming up out of the waves WIP link: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/56761-14501-scuttlebones-by-siri/

ultrasquid posted a topic in Works In ProgressI said I'd introduce this fellow once I was done with my Burrowing Horror, but I need some advice on how to proceed. Here's what it looks like naked (as in unpainted, still SFW): And here's what I've done so far with it: So my questions are, Where did I go wrong? What can I do next to make this look more convincing and natural, whilst maintaining the vivid colors?

Sirithiliel posted a topic in Works In ProgressI got Scuttlebones, so I've started painting him! His base is a modified Corpse Field base from Secret Weapon. I'm turning corpses into coral covered rocks I'm going ot painting him like a Sally Lightfoot Crab why? Because I like making undead things all colorful and pretty! It makes the fact they're undead all the more tragic! [like my Nethyrmaul!]

NBC has handed an early renewal to their espionage show The Blacklist which stars James Spader and Megan Boone.
It seems that as soon as the producers managed to get James Spader to sign on for another season after his six year contract the chase was on to get the rest of the original cast to re-up as well. Sony TV then went on to secure new deals with co-lead Megan Boone and the other two original series regular cast members Diego Klatenhoff and Harry Lennix.
"Congratulations to our amazing producers, cast and crew, all of whom continue to work at the top of their game and make The Blacklist one of NBC's signature series," said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, Co-Presidents of Scripted Programming, NBC Entertainment.
The Blacklist also stars Amir Arison, Mozhan Marnò and Hisham Tawfiq.

"But when the charges were made against him by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer."
(Matthew 27:12)
"And the chief priests brought many charges against him."
(Mark 15:3)
We have already seen Jesus' using silence when he is confronted with these false charges. Note that the word here is kathgore/w (kategoreo), which is normally used in a legal context. These charges being lifted against Jesus are not meant as broad accusations, but they are given in a legal context — in this case, to try and have Jesus charged with a capitol offense. Much of Jesus' silence, then should be seen as an appeal to Jewish law that no one may be put to death on the evidence of a single witness, but that two or three credible witnesses must be present to corroborate the accusations (Numbers 35:30; Deuteronomy 17:6-7; 19:5). And we have already seen that these false witnesses cannot seem to get their stories right. Jesus need not dignify their charges with a reply because there is no legal charge being brought.
As we see this, though, may we remember to look carefully at how we raise objections to those in our midst. How often, on the basis of one "gossipy" witness, we develop an opinion of someone else's character — an impression that is often very difficult to undo. How often, on the basis of speculation, we jump to conclusions about who did this or that. How often, on the basis of a label, whether political, denominational, or otherwise, we make wrong assumptions about others. How often we are just as guilty of false accusations as these chief priests and officials are — and how often, when those first impressions are proven wrong, we fail to humble ourselves and apologize. May we seek to make amends with those who have remained silent at our false accusations.

Manila - Metro Manila was spared the wrath of typhoon Ompong (international name Mangkhut), which…
For many Filipinos, Pasig River might still conjure images of floating garbage, closely matching perhaps how the river is illustrated in the popular song "Anak ng Pasig."
Yet, sailing now along a segment of the river that flows through Sta. Mesa in Manila, one would see that the water is no longer black and filled with trash, as what the lyrics of the song had limned. Fish, though few, visibly swim on the shallows.
A third of the Pasig River, in fact, has already been cleaned, and for its cleanup efforts, the Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC) has been named one of the four finalists in the Thiess International Riverprize, an annual award given to the world's best river rehabilitation programs.
Pasig lost to the San Antonio River in Texas, results released on Sept. 19 show, but George De La Rama, PRRC public information advocacy and tourism head, still considers the recognition significant.
The award, he told VERA Files, serves as inspiration for the agency to continue its efforts until the desired water quality for the Pasig river system is reached.
After all, the 18-year-old agency now stands before a more daunting task: cleaning the river's larger two-thirds that remains dirty, and maintaining the restored parts clean.
For instance, one tributary, the San Juan river, was tagged by PRRC as one of Pasig river's most polluted. Where trash has yet to accumulate, the river's surface keeps bubbling with methane gas, and locals who live by the riverfront inhale the everyday stench of its murky waters.
Weeks before the contest, in a Sept. 8 tour organized with nonprofit Greenpeace Philippines, PRRC exhibited before journalists the San Juan river, the epitome of Pasig river's dilemma.
"It needs to be rehabilitated. There's so much that needs to be done," De La Rama said during the tour. "But efforts are ongoing."
Most garbage in San Juan river flow from Quezon City, traveling down through San Juan, Mandaluyong, Pasig and Manila. Through its new San Juan River Dredging Project, the PRRC intends to increase the river's depth by retrieving its pollutants.
The Pasig river has yet to reach Class C, where the water quality can support and sustain aquatic life. It is a task to which the government, river volunteers, patrols and now advocacy groups like Greenpeace Philippines, actively commit.
"There are serious steps done, but of course it has to be expanded, it has to be improved," said Michael Meyer-Krotz, a German campaigner from Greenpeace.
During the same tour, the group deployed at the area where Pasig river and Manila bay meet four Global Positioning System-equipped buoys to act as marine debris, which Greenpeace will track as part of its new study.
Greenpeace Philippines campaigner Angelica Pago said, "There's no direct study yet that details the direction of (plastic) waste once it's thrown into the river."
The buoys were launched following an international report published on Nature Communications by the Netherlands-based Ocean Cleanup Foundation in June, which aims to present "a global model of plastic inputs from rivers into oceans."
The study predicted the annual river plastic inputs to the oceans between 1.15 and 2.41 million tons. Asia's rivers account for 86 percent of the annual input, including Pasig river, which can distribute up to 63,700 tons per year.
San Juan river is part of Pasig river's two-thirds that remains dirty, the fraction that could have led it to the top 10 rivers contributing most plastic waste to the world's oceans.
De La Rama said though the PRRC has yet to read the study in full, it refuses to acknowledge the study. "We want to disprove this. We find the study inconclusive, because we have not received the full report. Its methodology is not clear to us."
On the other hand, Pago said Greenpeace Philippines conducts its study with hopes to publicize whatever its results and show how big the problem is.
"Once the study reaches its conclusions," she said, "Greenpeace will put the results out in public in hopes of reaching other agencies that want to intervene."
Greenpeace aims to highlight the larger picture of the Pasig river's plastic waste dilemma: That it could be lessened if local governments only followed the law, says campaigner Abigail Aguilar.
The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 tasks barangays to establish materials recovery facilities, which shall "receive mixed waste for final sorting, segregation, composting and recycling," with residual wastes brought to disposal facilities or sanitary landfills.
Instead, the government promotes waste-to-energy technology as a "quick-fix solution" where plastics are burned, but which Aguilar says not only causes respiratory problems, but is also forbidden under the Clean Air Act.
"Even in big countries like Japan, which is no. 1 in terms of waste management, groups say waste-to-energy is bad," she said. "If they say it fails in Japan, what more with us?"
Large companies that produce single-use and non-recyclable plastics, such as a sachet of shampoo easily found polluting Pasig river, must also take responsibility, Krotz said.
"Single-use plastic in the ocean is a global problem," the German campaigner said, pointing the finger at companies who "have the money" but implement no proper recycling methods.
This causes long-term effects on people's health and the environment, he added.
This had been a major problem in Germany, where it took long before they were able to control it in their country, Krotz said. "Don't repeat our faults."
Aguilar is hopeful that Greenpeace's partnership with PRRC grows. "They're very active," she said. "There's promise in the partnership."
One of PRRC's projects is collecting water hyacinths that grow on the river and turning them into handicrafts, which adds more income for people along the river, De La Rama said.
He added the agency also started conducting series of awareness seminars about solid waste management.
"We have to reach the grassroots level also and inform them of how important the environment is for them," he said.
No matter the efforts, De La Rama believes that if the people and government do not team up, the dream of reviving the dead river back to its pristine condition is bound to fail, and the already cleaned waters will only turn dirty again.
He will always go back to his belief that the river is everyone's burden.
"Unless the people will change their behavior and their mindset, then we won't be able to achieve totally what we want," he said. "Everyone has to be in full gear and on the same boat."
Attaining global prestige is proof of the agency's "collaborative efforts," De La Rama said, but a more fulfilling prize comes with the challenge of cleaning the whole stretch of Pasig river.That, the PRRC admits, will take a long time.

Today at church we are celebrating with our Pastor before he retires at the end of the month. He has been in the ministry for 43 years and at our church for the last 33 years. He is a kind and gentle man with a loving heart. We will all miss him! I work at the Preschool that is at church and I just can't imagine going to work this fall and not seeing him there every day. It will be an adjustment for many of us. But, we know that "To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."
This is the card I made to give him today. I used Stampendous Calligraphy Cross and a Stampendous Best Wishes sentiment. The flourish is from the Damask Chair Perfectly Clear Stamp set. The paper is from the DCWV La Creme Matstack. I also made a card to give him from the congregation, I'll share that in a few days.
Be sure to stop by again tomorrow when I'll be sharing a SNEAK PEEK from the Stampendous July catalog! Just wait till you see the new images! WOW is all I can say!!!
Time for me to finish getting ready for church, better make sure I grab some extra Kleenex - I think I'll need it today!
Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Take time to get inky!
