Arroe Collins Unplugged and Totally Uncut

Making your presence known begins with you.  If you don't recognize yourself in the mirror how do you expect others to play along?  We spend too much time depending on coworkers, family and friends to pick us up.  Emotional vampires and or wet blankets.  Which isn't a good thing because a wet blanket can smell moldy.  Making a presence through awareness.  To be in fully in touch with yourself and not another human's supply of energy.  

Those old sayings. Who what where when and how? Some of those old sayings are not only ancient but still carry an impact today. One of them? Money doesn't grow on trees.

As the daughter of a music producer and drummer, Olivia grew up taking naps in guitar cases, playing around on piano keys and singing in vocal booths. At age 5, she wrote and recorded her first single, "If I Could Fly." At 13, she wanted to start taking it seriously and asked her dad to be her producer. They continued to record together through her teen years, and in 2021 she released her first album, "Silhouettes." While her parents supported her musical dreams, they emphasized the importance of education. During college, Olivia explored international relations & political science. However, music remained her priority. Along with music, Olivia has an eye for thrift shopping and anything '70s is her vibe, which aligns with her love for that era's music. She takes inspiration from artists such as Linda Ronstadt, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones.

Intimacy Coordinator Reveals How Sex Scenes Are Staged and How Actors Are Protected!

From Basic Instinct to Call Me by Your Name, Coming Home to Fifty Shades of Grey, P-Valley to Outlander, sex scenes play a vital role in movies, TV shows, and plays spanning genres and subjects. Yet, as dramas and comedies increasingly reflect the reality of diversity, depicting acts of intimacy in a way that's genuine, affecting, free from entrenched stereotypes, and respectful to audiences and actors is a challenge.

In The Intimacy Coordinator's Guidebook: Specialties for Stage and Screen (Routledge; April 1, 2024; Original Trade Paperback; ISBN: 978‑1‑032‑53147‑2), Brooke M. Haney reveals how intimacy coordinators use their cultural competencies and specialties in practice to create the most compelling storytelling.

As Haney stresses, the job requires competency in the language of choreography - every move performed for the camera or a live audience, from a passionate kiss to a chilling assault, is meticulously choreographed, just like a dance or a fight scene - along with training in tools like modesty garments and props. In addition, an intimacy coordinator must possess excellent communication skills and the ability to read situations and respond proactively. What's more, every intimacy coordinator must find their unique lens. (For instance, some coordinators are specialists in bondage, whereas others are specialists working with minors.)

The book features other intimacy coordinators' stories. It includes conversations with Olivia Luccardi (a producer and actress who played Melissa in The Deuce, the first television show to employ an intimacy coordinator), Tai Leshaun (a Black actress in Thunder Force and The Other Black Girl), Becca Blackwell (a trans actor, performer and writer), Jimmy Smits (an Emmy Award-winning Latino actor known for roles in TV dramas from NYPD Blue to Sons of Anarchy) and other Hollywood insiders who have worked on projects involving intimacy.

The strength to not only be patient but to have a willingness to listen. It requires a cleared head and heart based on faith and trust.

When Ona Gritz’s adopted sister Angie disappears, Ona finds herself conflicted between being concerned and feeling indifferent due to Angie’s previous disappearing acts.  This all changes when Angie, her infant son, and her husband are found murdered, execution style. 
In the new book, EVERYWHERE I LOOK (Apprentice House Press, April 16, 2024), author Ona Gritz recounts how, after struggling with her grief, she realized how many aspects of Angie’s life were misunderstood…or kept from her.  With an investigator’s grit, Ona embarks on an investigation to uncover secrets that could change everything she thought about her family.  
All through their lives, Angie was always the rebellious and unwanted sister, while Ona was the golden child, who also suffered from health issues from birth.  Written as a letter to Angie, Ona is refreshingly honest about herself, doesn’t sugarcoat her actions growing up, and comes to terms with her role in Angie’s feelings of being unwanted.  At its core, EVERYWHERE I LOOK is a wildly fascinating, if heartbreaking, story about families and the secrets that lurk just out of reach. 

We live in an age of too many questions and too many Google answers. Why aren't we scholars? Is it because we aren't digesting the information? We get a sip of an answer then quickly jump to the next question.

"You may think you know Dog the Bounty Hunter. Think again. This time, I'm writing my story-my way."

Within Nine Lives and Counting, Duane "Dog" Chapman not only offers fresh perspective on well-known life events but also ventures into behind-the-scenes territory and backstories never shared publicly.

This book sheds new light on:

* memories of the painful events that shaped the author's childhood

* the surprising hope he found in prison

* triumphs and failures from his days as a single dad

* lessons learned from his job as a vacuum-cleaner salesman

* his story of learning to bounty hunt

* and many other highs and lows from his life.

When the guys and women you used to look up to are no longer around. It's your turn to shine. This is hard to digest. Like small children, nobody teaches us about the next levels of life. I didn't sit around asking my mother questions about the afterlife of middle aged. She worked very hard for several years but was there something else my mother wanted to be remembered for?

Ron Keel’s RFK Media label digs deep to release Cold Sweat - “Unburied Alive” in conjunction with the band’s appearance at the 2024 M3 Festival May 5th.

The foundation of this album consists of four unreleased studio tracks from the early 90’s, which showcase the band (Marc Ferrari & Erik Gamans, guitar – Chris McLernon, bass – Anthony White, drums – and Roy Cathey, vocals) delivering powerful heavy melodic rock at its finest. The lead track “Rain Down” is a classic-style arena rock working class anthem; “Unburied Alive” also features vintage concert cuts from their 1990 appearance at the Super Rock Festival in Mannheim, Germany supporting Whitesnake, Aerosmith, Dio and Poison, plus recent modern-era live recordings from their triumphant reunion at the 2020 Monsters Of Rock Cruise pre-party. 

Ferrari founded Cold Sweat after departing the band Keel in 1989. The band released their acclaimed cult classic “Break Out” on MCA Records and toured the US and Europe before falling victim to the changing musical landscape of the 90’s. This collection of recordings proves that the music has stood the test of time, and the men behind that music plan to drive that point home when they hit the stage May 5th in Columbia, Maryland at this year’s M3 Festival, on the bill with Bret Michaels, Night Ranger, Y&T and Stryper.

“We [RFK Media] heard these unreleased studio tracks and realized immediately, we have to get this music out there,” explains RFK chief Ron Keel. “Then we found out there were unreleased live tracks, not just from the 2020 reunion but from the 1990 festival appearance in Germany. It was like an uppercut to the jaw, a right cross and a body blow in quick succession, and we’re ready to deliver the knockout punch with this very special Cold Sweat release.”

There's so much change and challenge. When you think you've got it, there's more change and challenge. It's a circle we continue to step in. It's not that we dislike change, it's just taxing on our emotions.

Fifty years to the month after Trouser Press published its first issue, Trouser Press Books has released Zip It Up! The Best of Trouser Press Magazine 1974 - 1984.

This 440-page large-format paperback collects more than 90 of the best articles - profiles, interviews and histories - that appeared in the magazine fans have called "the bible of alternative rock" but had a broader mission than that.

Sections on:

. the 1960s

. classic rock

. glam rock

. prog and art rock

. reggae

. the roots of punk

. American punk and new wave

. UK punk and new wave

. post-punk

Annotated with recollections and reflections on the changing times, the ridiculous business of independent magazine publishing and the colorful, complicated artists - illustrated with cartoons, covers, documents and ads from the Trouser Press archive - Zip It Up! is vintage rock journalism of a form that is no longer widely practiced: features heavy on historical detail and lengthy, probing interviews, all written with wit, intelligence and a willful expression of opinions and values. It is also an extensive document of rock's evolution from the 1970s to the mid-'80s, often capturing now-iconic bands in the early stages of their existence. By turns reverent, snarky, adulatory and cynical, Zip It Up! is a rich grazing ground for fans and students of music and music journalism.

It wasn’t long before Debbie Wilson-Berment discovered that the kitchen was where she wanted to be. As a young girl growing up in Trinidad and Tobago, she would often help her mother, Alma, an accomplished and award-winning chef, prepare family meals, as well as dishes for her mother’s catering clients. By the time she was 16, Wilson-Berment, who is known professionally as Chef Sagajo, had clients of her own and a steady stream of requests for the beautiful special occasion cakes she made.  You’ll find more than just sweet treats (but you can find those, too) in Chef Sagajo’s first cookbook, THE SAGAJO EXPERIENCE: Recipes for Lifestyle & Entertaining (Virago Global Publishing, February 14, 2024). She goes beyond a cookbook, showing you how to create moments, not just meals—a feeling she learned from her mother and continued with her family. You will find page after page of easy-to-follow, yet elegant, recipes, but she extends her culinary canvas beyond the plate. She offers suggestions about other ingredients that make meals memorable, such as the settings you choose, the stemware you use, the flowers you display, the styles (formal or informal) you create, the wines you select and, most importantly, the people you choose to gather around the table. She provides an amazing smorgasbord of delicious menu ideas (with accompanying recipes) for some of life’s more common gatherings, such as family dinner, lunch (or tapas) with friends, breakfast in bed and those special occasions when you pull out all the stops with a menu that includes beef brisket, whole roasted red snapper, roasted duck, spatchcock chicken and Chilean sea bass. You can also find tips on food and wine pairings and a helpful “In My Pantry” guide, which lists all the ingredients that you will need.  Her recipes and tips for entertaining are easy to follow whether you are a seasoned chef or an aspiring cook. Beautiful, eye-catching photos throughout the book bring the meals to life, as well as the family and friends who gather around her table, including her husband, grandchildren and three children, Sasha, Gabrielle and Jonathan. (Her children are the inspiration behind her professional name and brand. Sagajo--pronounced sah-ga-joe—is an acronym from the first two initials of each of her children’s names.) Since that early start in her mother’s kitchen, Chef Sagajo has gone on to a successful career as a private chef, a pastry chef, a culinary educator and now, an author. Her dishes reflect the rich Caribbean flavors of her early roots along with the cooking traditions she learned while training at top culinary programs in the United States. She calls her style Caribbean meets Mediterranean. She hopes her recipes will inspire others to gather, entertain with joy and adopt an approach to life that has long guided her personal and professional path: “Life is meant to taste and celebrate.” 

New from award-winning book publisher Octane Press, Trophies and Scars is the profoundly personal and remarkably revealing story of the life and times of NASCAR Hall of Famer Ray Evernham, as told to New York Times bestselling author Joe Garner. With forewords by motorsport legends Jeff Gordon, Rick Hendrick, and Roger Penske, the book launched in March.

Trophies and Scars traces all the twists and turns of Ray Evernham's fascinating life. A son of the Jersey Shore, he was dedicated to fulfilling his boyhood dream of becoming a professional race car driver, and by age eighteen, he was banging fenders with good success on the Northeast short track circuit. When his dreams of becoming an Indy car sensation literally crashed and burned, he turned to Roger Penske's International Race of Champions (IROC), before another brutal crash forced him to give up his Indy dream for good.

It was time to change careers.

As a technical crew leader rather than driver, he developed new skills and strategies critical to building successful racing organizations. A brief, ill-fated, and downright volatile stint on Alan Kulwicki's crew, turned into a "right place at the right time" scenario, sparking a seminal partnership with racing phenomenon Jeff Gordon. They would prove to be one of the most potent racing duos in history. Evernham shares previously untold tales of how the pair led the No. 24 team to three championships in four seasons (1995, 1997, 1998) and an astounding forty-seven wins in just 216 starts, revealing in candid detail how and why their storied relationship came to an end.

The Never Ever Mets – premiering Friday, April 19, on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network – features seven couples who have been virtually dating for some time and believe they may have found lasting love – only they have never met each other in person! Now, they’re meeting face-to-face for the very first time and sharing a house together for three weeks to see if their internet love can survive off the screen and in real life.
Some of these couples have been dating virtually for several years, and some soon find out that an in-person relationship is not what they anticipated. To test the strength of their love connections, the group participates in fun relationship activities and couples therapy. But visits from discerning loved ones, meddling opinions and tension from others in the house challenge their bonds even further. At the end of their stay, some will go home together…and some will sign off for good.

The President of the United States is the most powerful leader in the world. He's called to make the nation's most impactful decisions while maintaining the support of the multitudes. Though many have failed at the job, a select few have led America to new heights, and how they did it is worthy of study.

How the Best Did It takes the leadership lessons gained from our greatest presidents and makes them instructive today for all leaders who seek to enhance their performance. Based on Talmage Boston's sound evaluations, which have been endorsed by America's leading presidential historians, every chapter ends with a self-examination questionnaire that allows the reader to evaluate his or her own leadership skills.

How the Best Did It is an accessible and insightful explanation of how the most important leadership traits from America's eight greatest presidents can be implemented by today's leaders.

I love watching bad "B" movies. It slows down time. Not only that but it's enjoyable to see how the plot attempts to thicken with a little bit of shock and awe. We're also talking about the signs of getting old. Is it a sign when you start understanding the commercials geared toward the older adults? A exercise tool that's just two pedals that go round and round. Insurance beyond Medicare and bathtub you don't sit down in. Is this a sign of old age or is it the number of boxes stacking up but have never returned to get your money back?

A bold memoir of an extraordinary, singular life lived by one of the world's most beloved and acclaimed figures: Russ Tamblyn.

With more than eighty years as a celebrated artist and actor under his belt, Russ Tamblyn is a cherished figure to name among cinephiles and pop culture fans alike, working with such legendary directors as Robert Wise, David Lynch, and Quentin Tarantino.

Russ deftly guides readers through his star-studded life and his search for a deeper, more connected existence: attending school with Elizabeth Taylor, earning an Academy Award nomination for Peyton Place, dropping out of Hollywood at the height of his career to become a fine artist in Topanga Canyon, and forging a lifelong friendship with Neil Young. He shares the painful breakup of a twenty-year marriage and the joy of finding true love and inspiration as a husband, father, and mentor in his own right.

Perfect for old and new fans alike, Dancing on the Edge is an intimate and powerful story about the singular life of one of our most gifted storytellers, artists, and stars of the silver screen

We're constantly looking for better and easier ways to be centered. To locate our calm. Most of the great teachers say it arrives from mindfulness. Be present with your now. That's where I start to question. Where is your here? Physically you are here but mentally where is your here? Taking notes is so important. Mainly because when you return to your here, there's a better understanding as to how you can be present in your here.

A luminescent memoir from the stylist who created David's iconic Ziggy Stardust look, painting a dazzling picture of Bowie and the wild world of his entourage during this pivotal moment in pop history.

From the stylist behind David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust look, an electrifying memoir taking readers behind the curtains during a legendary chapter of pop culture history.

Suzi Ronson was working in an English hair salon in the early 1970s when Mrs. Jones came in for her weekly shampoo and set. After being introduced to her son, David, and his wife, Angie, she soon finds herself at the Bowies' bohemian apartment and embroiled in their raucous world.

Having crafted his iconic Ziggy Stardust hairstyle, Suzi becomes the only working woman in David's touring party and joins The Spiders from Mars as they perform around the globe. Amid the costume blunders, parties, and groupies she meets her husband-to-be, Mick Ronson, and together they traverse the absurdities of life in rock & roll, falling in with the likes of Iggy Pop, Bob Dylan, and Lou Reed along the way.

Dazzling and intimate in equal measure, Me and Mr. Jones provides not only a unique perspective into one of the most beguiling stars in the history of pop music but also of a world on the cusp of cultural transformation.

The storms will always be heavy but we know there'll always be shelter. Knowing this helps create the courage to step up and out. We have to be visible and unafraid.

The geography speaks for itself. The bad guys are just kilometers away, across the river. We are the only international (or locals) with a brick and mortar office downtown, for them to go for help. No assistance from govt unless elderly, and the assistance they get is shit.
Office safe from “normal” shelling (tank fire, most mortars). Glide bombs and attack drones are new since Ukrainians landed on other side and have beachhead. Quietly, that is a total massacre over there — poorly kept secret here. can’t do much about the big stuff … if we get hit with a glide bomb we’re fucked. I like our chances.
Mon wed Friday the FREE STORE AT THE FRONT is open at our office. Basic foods medicines hygiene and winter clothes. Mondays we run bread into insanely dangerous places by the Antonivky bridge, do other stuff like that. Off the radar. For city admin. We are an important “off the books asset” for them.

How often does the average person think about where we are in history? A former president is on trail. There are three wars with no sign of peace. Inflation haunts the daily grind and people with magic cards are eating better than those who can afford to pay their bills.

Decisions are being made by leaders that don't have entire planet in mind. If it breaks. We know things will change and no matter what the conditions are, we will be shown the way.

With their family's support, they gained more confidence and had opportunities to perform in concerts and shows, including opening for Filipino celebrities at the Fox Theater.

I often wonder if parents know how they're effecting their young ones when spouting off those crazy sayings. Money doesn't grow on a tree. Close the door this isn't a barn. I'm to hell and back. Put some elbow grease into that.

In TRIPPED: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age (Mariner Books; on sale April 9), Norman Ohler, New York Times bestselling author of Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich, returns with a provocative new history of drugs and postwar America, exposing the hidden connections between the Nazis and the early days of drugs in the United States. Based on extensive archival research on both sides of the Atlantic, TRIPPED examines how fascist experiments into psychedelics covertly influenced CIA research and secretly shaped America's War on Drugs. As Ohler reveals, "When most people think of LSD, they don't think of the Nazis, and yet that unseen hand played a role in framing our laws around this class of drug and in limiting our ability to use psychedelics for medical research." In fact, Ohler was inspired to explore this topic as a result of his own mother's medical condition. His father wanted to know why he couldn't just get LSD at the pharmacy for his wife if it was supposed to help treat her Alzheimer's disease. It was this question-why can't patients in need of psychedelic therapy access it?-that launched Ohler on his investigation for TRIPPED. Unlike cannabis which is on the precipice of global legalization, psychedelic substances containing promising healing potential are still bound up with taboos. With TRIPPED, Ohler aims to alleviate the fear and disinformation around these drugs by educating readers on the untold story behind them.

My father always accused us of being a bump on a log. What does that even mean? Showing no movement is always going to play on your mindsets. The goal is to get moving. It doesn't have to be a walk or run but also being creative. Move your mind forward.

A huge spring storm is about to bust loose on this forest. It's swirling in circles like that of a hurricane but it's much too early for such a thing. The forest is leaning in to prepare for the worst. Human's tend to run indoors to watch the storm from a window or an app. I can't control what plays out inside this collection of trees. I am only a poet in a forest.

Is there anything worse than running out of something while you're using it? We try to stay ahead by purchasing the refills online. Only to learn we got the wrong stuff. I'm guilty of being that consumer that's beautifully lazy about not going to a local store. It seems easier to buy it online. Only to make the wrong purchase over and over again. What is it costing businesses? Billions!

Reverting back to laws once put into play during this nations Civil War. Does this prove reincarnation exists? Not really. Instead of moving forward decision makers are tossing us back ten to one hundred steps. If laws are going backwards, how does that lose off they equal rights of all people? Making our way through a constant redesign. Will we have seatbelts to hold us in?
