4 JUL 2024 · Heavy, aggressive, and melodic, Dystopica’s first full-length album, Infinite Reflection, elevates their sound to a whole new level. It combines the strength of heavy metal, the driving force of thrash metal, and the complexity of progressive metal in a way that is unique and catchy. With harmonized guitar riffs, epic guitar solos, vigorous drumming, and powerful female vocals, the band stays true to their core sound while further expanding upon it.   Infinite Reflection is about reflecting on the past, taking hold of the present, and redefining the future. Produced by Nick Bellmore (Dee Snider, Corpsegrinder, Ripper, Hatebreed, Toxic Holocaust, Many Eyes), it is much heavier and more progressive than Dystopica’s 2021 Perception and 2022 Deception. Each song is very distinct from one another, but together they tell a story of evolving through time that parallels the evolution of Dystopica’s sound. Hailing from Connecticut, Dystopica is a metal band with a distinct sound blending heavy metal, hard rock, thrash metal and progressive metal.  Their music includes melodic, harmonizing guitar riffs and powerful female vocals.  The band's lineup is Becky Brideau on vocals, Rob Muller on guitar and Erich Bender on drums.  Joining Dystopica for live shows is Lucas Dellaporta on bass and Connor Sperry on guitar.  The band was formed by singer and songwriter Becky Brideau.

3 JUL 2024 · Thank you for being part of the conversation.  This is Play It Forward.  Real people.  Real stories.  The struggle to Play It Forward.  Episode 630…during this 50th anniversary of Michael Landon’s adaptation of Little House On The Prairie actor/producer Dean Butler shares with us Prairie Man   Dean Butler shares the behind- the-scenes of Little House on the Prairie on a heartfelt journey of "good luck, good television, and the very good- if gloriously imperfect-people who made it so." Cast as Almanzo, Laura Ingalls' starring love interest, Butler captured the enduring affection of fans and co-stars alike. With a foreword from Melissa Gilbert (Laura) and Alison Arngrim (Nellie), this uplifting memoir follows Butler's journey from childhood to the Prairie and beyond.   Cast at twenty-two years old, Butler had no idea of the lasting impact being cast in Little House on the Prairie would have on him. Having previously starred in Judy Blume's Forever with Stephanie Zimbalist, Butler was fresh- faced and naïve to Hollywood, eager to make his mark. He found his home in the Prairie and embraced his fellow cast members as family. Butler's passion for honest-to-goodness entertainment began in the Prairie and followed him throughout his rich career of acting, producing, and directing.

3 JUL 2024 · During the summer months it requires a lot of confidence to stand in the extremely tall grass on this forested floor. It's the darkness caused by what we assume that looms within the mystery. When we allow our fears to control our thoughts and actions a lot is long on the walk and way of the everyday life.

3 JUL 2024 · This delightful narrative takes readers on a powerful search to unlock the secrets of dog cognition, based on evidence from trainers, owners, behaviorists, and the animals themselves. With in-depth reporting and more than a few personal adventures, bestselling author Jennifer S. Holland digs into what intelligence really means. Readers will meet a pack of genius dogs embodying all types of smarts. Holland heads into the field with a cadaver dog and his trainer to learn about "nose intelligence.” To unpack emotional intelligence, she examines how dogs help people dealing with trauma. To investigate task learning ability, she seeks agility trainers, TV-dog trainers, and a man whose dog has learned to hang glide—one step at a time. She interviews police-dog trainers (volunteering to be attacked by a bite dog in the name of science), service-dog trainers, and trainers who rehabilitate "bad" dogs. And she gets to know breeds that are considered especially intelligent—border collies, cattle dogs, and German shepherds—to discover whether they are truly "smarter" or just more willing to do as they're told. Both surprising and heartwarming, this book is one woman’s quest to understand what it means to be smart—and how dogs got that way.

8 MAR 2022 · I could spend hours studying the effects of water and wind. How a one time sheet of glass glamorously paints the portrait of fall colors then swiftly evolves into a series of ripples by a restless wind. It's as if Mother Nature has sent out a message of her portraits being for a limited time. As people we endlessly send out signals. Body language! What our body is performer may not be what it's physically projecting. What is seen from afar versus what is truly heard are two different shapes of communication. Body language to a receiver is solely based on assumption. Because your body is saying this doesn't mean that's the vocal message. I've learned to work with the wind. To mess up the calm and give those watching waves of new beginnings. I see myself in two different places, on Undercover Boss and on Tik Tok. Camera's are always watching. No step is taken without body language. What is your body saying to other people? The worse part about it is how it's not what others are reading.
