Movie Review – “La La Land” (2016)

I have noticed most people have two basic reactions to musicals – They either love them and are saddened that there are not enough of them, or groan in frustration because musicals are so boring. When I went to see the latest musical, “La La Land,” one kid, probably around 14 or 15, was laying on a bench outside the theater and waited until the last minute to go inside, and did so stomping his feet in frustration. He clearly did not want to be there.

Why is this one of the general reactions to musicals? Why are there people who roll their eyes at song and dance numbers? It might explain why musicals are so scarce and why they seem to be a dying artform. As someone who previously hated the concept of musicals, this hatred towards them probably comes from a lack of action or reason to care about the music. When films like “Moulin Rouge!” did their musical numbers, the film would come a screeching hault and the plot did not seem to matter anymore.

But another reason could be that musicals are not grounded in reality. Who breaks out into song when they are happy or sad? What kind of person can come up with an impromptu musical number with nothing more than their wit and emotions?

I felt that is what made musicals so unappealing for a long time, with the only exception being “Singin’ In the Rain.” Then I realized what made that Gene Kelley movie so admirable and so much fun – because it was not grounded in reality, just history. The appeal of the musical is they are not supposed to be about how people really act, but a visual display of individuals raw and uncut emotions using song and dance. Those who say musicals lack action are missing the point, the elaborate sequences using thousands of people and moving parts is the action.

Musicals are beautiful pieces of art that speak their minds through choreography, vibrant colors and long takes.

And I would love to thank “La La Land” for making me realize all this.

“La La Land” is the most whimsical film experience of 2016 that doesn’t pull any punches. It balances a harsh reality and playful nature perfectly. It shows the lives of people who moved to Los Angeles with bigger than life dreams, attempting to conquer the world in their own way, but ultimately realize this world is unforgiving and full of too much talent.

Set in modern day L.A., Mia Dolan (Emma Stone) is an aspiring actress working at a coffee shop on the Warner Brothers lot, and is constantly turned down from audition after audition. But when Mia has a chance encounter with struggling pianist Sebastian Wilder (Ryan Gosling), the two form an immediate connection, and try their best to help each other, Mia with getting her acting noticed, and Sebastian to get his jazz career off the ground.

From the first few moments of “La La Land,” I was entranced by the surreal combination of reality and fantasy, as hundreds of people stuck on an L.A. freeway break out into song and dance around like they don’t care about anything else. There are people breakdancing on top of their cars, skating down this long road and a band playing inside of a truck. But the best part is that it is all done in one continuous take, uncut by editing so we can appreciate every single person on this bridge, even the ones you can see dancing a mile down the road.

There’s another long take sequence between Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling as they tap dance with increasing vigor and excitement, like something right out of a Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers film. In fact, there’s many neat touches to older musicals, with the Cinemascope introduction to a fantasy sequence later in the film reminiscent of Broadway Melody from “Singin’ In the Rain.”

Yet the film is unapologetic when it comes to the harsh reality of trying to make in Hollywood. Thousands of people flock to L.A. every year to become famous in one way or another, but it ultimately leads down a long and disappointing road, as Mia and Sebastian learn throughout the film. This leads to best song in the film, “City of Stars,” with its melancholy lyrics and pitch-perfect tone from Ryan Gosling.

Overall, everyone should go see “La La Land” because it is the reason films are made. A story that can only be told through cinema, while giving us a reason to love musicals again. Don’t wait for this to come out on DVD either, this is a grand experience that needs to be seen on the big screen. This is the most personal yet elaborate movie of the year and you don’t want to miss it.

1996 Chevy Astro AWD clunks

  • 1996 CHEVROLET

Only has 274,000 miles but it clunks sometimes when shifting, starting to accelerate, and braking. Also vibrates, especially on rough pavement, 70 + MPH.
This is Van #4. Finally junked #1 after 550,000 miles with suspension problems, engine was fine. # 2, # 3 and this one are still going strong after 200,000+.

One more thing. Oil leaks in 1996 + astros are usually caused by the oil cooler installed between the filter mount and block. Fix costs $1.01.

Site is great. Thanks

Do you
have the same problem?

Sony NEX5n/SAMYANG 8mm

First test of a new spherical panorama acquisition setup.

Camera: Sony NEX-5N, manual mode, 1/50 sec, auto-HDR(5EV) jpeg.

Lens: Rokinon 8mm/3.5 fisheye (EOS mount) on Fotodiox adapter, f/3.5.

Shots: 4-around up 30 deg interleaved with 4 around down 30 deg, nadir.

Not 100% thrilled with the auto-HDR, but it is convenient and way better than a single exposure.  Note flare at bright windows.  Unfortunately the maximum bracketed exposure is only +/-0.7EV, so HDR raw sets will require manual intervention.  Don't have the IR remote yet so can't say how well it will work for pole shots.

The SAMYANG lens seems fine, not quite sharp enough to 'staircase' at 100% crop on this 16 MPix camera, but the 75 MP equirectangular is satisfactory.  At less than half the price of a Sigma 8mm, it is a major bargain.

3Squared welcomes three new starters

15th October 2013

3Squared are delighted to have taken on three new starters in the last month, further expanding the development teams. All three join us on their placement year, continuing 3Squared’s history of employing students from the local universities.

We caught up with each of them to find out how they are settling in and what they are looking forward to.

Simon Rose

First to join us was Simon Rose, who is from Sheffield and is studying Games Software Development at Sheffield Hallam University. Simon joins the .NET team, where he will be helping to create state of the art web applications and websites.

We asked Simon what he was most looking forward to in the coming year. “While at 3Squared, I will hopefully be developing my skills, but I am particularly looking forward to contributing to real world projects” said Simon. “And I suppose the free snacks will help!”

Simon is a keen a sportsman and plays football several times per week as well as following his team Arsenal.

Lucy Child

Lucy Child started the following week and also joins us from Hallam. She is originally from County Durham but moved South (!) to study Games Software Development. Like Simon, she is also joining the .NET team.

She is looking forward to working on a dedicated team and gaining real project experience. “I can’t wait to start working on real projects that actually matter, rather than just to get grades.”

Lucy has a vary varied list of hobbies including keeping racing dogs, running triathlons and she is also a grade 8 clarinettist and occasional gamer!

Ben Walker

Finally, we have Ben Walker, who is from nearby Chesterfield and studies at Manchester Metropolitan University. Ben is studying Computing and has joined 3Squared’s ever-increasing Android team and is looking forward to broadening his knowledge of Android development and programming in general.

In his spare time, Ben enjoys coding, listening to podcasts and playing video games.

All at 3Squared would like to wish Simon, Lucy and Ben the best of luck for the forthcoming year.

Malawi’s President Moves To Scrap Elections; Will Step Down

Malawi's President Moves To Scrap Elections; Will Step Down
Joyce Banda

AFRICANGLOBE – Malawi President Joyce Banda has ordered the nullification of presidential and parliamentary election results, citing what she says are irregularities. The president says the action is in accordance with constitutional power given to her, but legal experts say the law that President Banda has used is irrelevant.

Banda said that she has nullified the elections because of irregularities that have marred results of the poll.  She cited a number of complaints that the Malawi Electoral Commission has received.

“I, Dr. Joyce Banda, the president of Malawi, in exercise of the powers conferred in section 88 (2) of the constitution,” said Banda. “I hereby call for the nullification of all ongoing  processes in relation to the 2014 tripartite elections, including announcement and counting of the results to cease forthwith.”

Speaking at a press conference at her State House in the capital, Lilongwe, on Saturday, President Banda called for fresh elections in 90 days during which she said she will not run.

However, legal experts have faulted the president’s order as saying the section she has cited does not give her the power to nullify an election.

Edge Kanyongolo is a constitutional lawyer at the University of Malawi.

“My reaction is one of my puzzlement if you will allow me, [to say that] because I am reading this section here and is says ‘the president shall provide executive leadership in the interest of national unity in accordance with this constitution and the laws of the republic’,” said Kanyongolo. “I am really struggling to find out how one can really interpret that to say ‘it gives the president specific powers to call off an election and call for a fresh election in 90 days”

Law Society of Malawi President Mandala Mambulasa also told journalists that there is nowhere in the laws of Malawi where the president is given powers to nullify elections.

Voters went to the polls on Tuesday to choose a president, members of parliament and local councils. Long delays and ballot problems prompted authorities to extend voting in some areas into Wednesday and Thursday.

Malawi Electoral Commission Chairperson Maxon Mbendera declined to comment on the presidential order to reporters. He has however, directed the commission’s staff at the national tally center to continue working.

John and Kath are wonderful hosts and we felt very welcome staying at their apartment. The apartment is very spacious and comfortable, well decorated and provided with everything you may need in a holiday accommodation. It is in a fantastic location to explore the area, with shops, cafes and restaurants easily accessible by car or bike. We enjoyed taking walks or riding along the paths on the riverside to nearby parks or beaches. Fremantle or Claremont are only 10 minutes drive in either direction

For all the compliments that John & Kathy received whether it's for their hospitality, location, amenities, value or even the feeling of returning to this place - I now have the pleasure of saying it's all true. From the point of booking confirmation to our farewell, John & Kathy have been incredibly friendly and responsive. We were pleasantly surprised when they went out of their way to offer baby equipments during our stay which saved us quite a bit from separately renting. The place itself is comfortable, spacious, very well designed and it's situated in a lovely location that is great for morning and evening walks (especially along the river). It's our first time using Airbnb and it's simply because of John & Kathy why our first Airbnb experience is such a memorable one. And yes, we would certainly choose this place when we visit Perth again. Thanks again John & Kathy for making our stay a delightful one. Keep up the great atmosphere!

John and Kathy could not have been more hospitable hosts. They were always quick to reply and very accomodating with check-in/out times and provided us with wet weather gear after unpredicted stormy weather. The property is even better than the photos show. It is spacious, immaculately clean and has everything you could need or want including kitchen appliances/utensils. The beds were very comfortable. It is very private and quiet and has a lovely outdoor area. Fremantle, Cottesloe and Scarborough were all within easy Uber distances. I would definitely recommend others to stay here - it really was a home away from home.

John & Kathy were excellent hosts who were very responsive and made us feel very welcome. They have a beautiful home which was very well designed, clean, airy & spacious. It sits on a slope on a hill in a nice residential area. I highly recommend John & Kathy's home & will definitely return when I next come to Perth.

David User Profile

John and Kathy were exceptional hosts to our family of four. Firstly they were very accommodating in allowing us to check in after midnight due to our flight. Moving on to the property and it's location, it is a beautiful waterfront home and we occupied the ground floor which is a self contained 2br 2 bathroom space with views out to the Swan River. In fact it was so comfortable my wife found it hard to leave! Location we found really suited us as we enjoyed spending time in Fremantle which was a short drive and also Cottesloe had a great number of trendy cafes and fresh produce shops where we would stock up on supplies. We stayed 5 nights and would come back in a heartbeat.

Bristol Silver Zone Car Park reviews

Bristol Silver Zone Car Park logo

Here are some comments that our customers have made about Bristol Silver Zone Car Park

Showing 1 to 30 of 870 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... >>

"Very impressed with service. Bus picked us up straight away in both directions. Very efficient in the office. Would use again."

December 12, 2016

"Great service."

October 21, 2016

"Awarded a complimentary Gold Valet, returned to broken front suspension & 2 scraped front wheels. I was then told to arrange to have the car towed by the AA & that the airport was not responsible in any way for the damage. Never again!!!"

October 17, 2016

"As usual the service was superb. Easy access via the Internet, easy access via the roadways and easy transport to and from the car park to the airport. Takes a lot of stress out of the journey, thanks."

October 13, 2016

"Service on site was very good but the price of a booking a fortnight before travel for 5 days of over £60 was extortionate. Would have been cheaper to take the car to Ireland than to fly from Bristol (which I will do in future)."

September 22, 2016

"very quick and easy, would use again."

August 8, 2016

"Perfect !"

July 13, 2016

"what can I say about the silver zone parking in Bristol?? for starters I guess its a good idea as you just park up and catch the shuttle bus outside reception which takes you right to the door of the airport. The downside of it, is you have to leave your keys with the guys in reception so they can move your car to a different location of the car park when and if they want to. Not happy with that as EVERY SINGLE TIME that we use the car park, our car gets moved somewhere else. We got wise after a while to where they fancied parking it, so we thought we'd beat them to it and park it in the area that they keep moving it to. Believe it or not they weren't happy with where we put it, and just had to move it again!!! the funny part is, they moved it 6 spaces down on the opposite side, what the ****!!! WHY????? somehow they managed to move it literally 3 seconds away and did a MILE in mileage to get there! you seriously need to keep tabs of your mileage when you drop your vehicle off. Another annoying thing is, we are quite tall and the person who moved it must have been about 2 foot tall, all the seat was squished right up to the steering wheel and we couldn't get in the car! they must have fiddled with every single button surrounding the seat to fit this 2 foot person and took us a good ten minutes to get it back where we wanted it originally. Not funny when you've come back off a night flight and just want to get home! anyway when we went to pick up our keys to go home, we knew we'd get a grilling as we decided to put a crook lock on the steering wheel this time, hee hee!!!! they weren't happy! we thought it was funny tho! they said that we should have told them about the crook lock and it shouldn't have been there, as they couldn't move it, EXACTLY!!! that was the whole point we didn't want it moved and someone driving about in it, our car is our pride and joy, not for someone else to drive about in it for the hell of it! Its not just us, there was an elderly gentleman behind us in the queue who was disabled, so for obvious reasons they parked it in a disabled space, makes sense don't you think??? Oh no, they moved his car too somewhere else where he had to take a long stroll and find it :( its absolutely disgusting isn't it! its bad enough they shift our cars, but a disabled driver, come on, whats wrong with you people???? we should have a choice as to where we leave our car and not have to worry about some idiot riding around in it, we pay good money for the privilege of a security system and trust of the team there, but wont be trusting them anymore if they abuse the system. I read another review earlier where a land rover I think it was, went into the car park in tact, and came out with a cracked windscreen. for some reason the security cameras weren't working the time they went in and out, mmmmm..... make your own minds up about that one! on that note, yes its handy and all that, but my advise, put a crook lock on your steering wheel so they can't man handle your pride and joy!!!!!!!!!"

July 11, 2016

"I've given this service 4* because I haven't used any other in Bristol so don't know how they compare. Our experience was trouble free from the time we arrived to the moment we picked up the car - at 02.00hrs! Even at that time in the morning the staff were cheery and efficient as they had been when we dropped it off. The transfers to and from the airport were seamless and only took a little over 5 minutes with only a short wait for transport on our return journey.
The location meant that we were on the main road (A38) within a very short time. It's a service I'd recommend and will use it again when the need arises."

July 5, 2016

"Trouble free booking and similar experience at site. Only "downside" came from long walk from initial parking to reception office. will
happily recommend usage to family and friends in future."

June 27, 2016

"No hastle, a swept-up service that left us with no complaints at all."

June 23, 2016

"Friendly & efficient service. Will use again."

May 16, 2016

"I use Bristol silver zone numerous times a year always quick and easy check in check out process.. My only complaint albeit a minor one is the moving of the cars.. I understand it has to be done.. We landed late night after long day as hotels like you out early. And my car was parked way out from reception.. Not nice when returning to chilly Bristol from a warm country"

April 24, 2016

"It was very easy to find the car park. The check in was quick and efficient. The bus was waiting to take us to the airport, which took less than five minutes. On return we waited less than five minutes for the bus, it was very easy to find the bus stop. Key collection was also very quick. All in all, it was an excellent service. I highly recommend it. Thank you."

April 23, 2016

"Used this site many times, brilliant"

March 30, 2016

"Can recommend this parking. Easy to get to. 5 minutes to airport,dropped and picked up outside terminal. No hassles, cheap and safe."

March 23, 2016

"At the check in desk I was told that my booking was not on the system and I might have to pay again when I returned . I didn't have any problems collecting my car on return . I think that it was a bit of scaremongering to get people to think twice before booking with a cheaper company again . It was a time consuming and I was kept waiting for 15mins and had to fill in a form but didn't sign anything ."

March 3, 2016

"Very good ,but would rather park car & not have it relocated by others."

February 25, 2016

"Always use silver zone and never had a problem would recommend"

February 16, 2016

"Fab service lost my key from my key card rang today and they went out to where I picked up my car and found it. Being returned when I send saw

February 7, 2016

"No waiting, either at drop off of car or for the bus returning to car park at end of trip. Altogether a very efficient operation, this time."

January 30, 2016

"Excellent, affordable and professional."

January 2, 2016

December 28, 2015

"Fast and smooth service with no hiccups!"

December 26, 2015

"Very good service by Silver Zone parking - we will use it again.
However, the airport should cover the pick up waiting area - you can get very wet while waiting even a few minutes for the bus."

November 18, 2015

"I found booking through this site was slightly cheaper than going direct to the car parking site on the internet. It worked perfectly."

November 15, 2015

"Fast services. Highly recommended !!!"

August 30, 2015

"No problems at all ,quick service and a smile."

August 11, 2015

"Very good service"

August 10, 2015

"Quick, easy and regular service to and from the airport"

Broad-winged Hawk

IUCN Conservation Status: Least Concern

One of the greatest spectacles of migration is a swirling flock of Broad-winged Hawks on their way to South America. Also known as “kettles,” flocks can contain thousands of circling birds that evoke a vast cauldron being stirred with an invisible spoon. A small, stocky raptor with black-and-white bands on the tail, the Broad-winged Hawk is a bird of the forest interior and can be hard to see during the nesting season. Its call is a piercing, two-parted whistle.

Keys to identification Help

Typical Voice
  • Size & Shape

    Broad-winged Hawks are small, compact raptors with chunky bodies and large heads. In flight, their broad wings come to a distinct point. The tail is short and square.

  • Color Pattern

    Adult Broad-winged Hawks have reddish-brown heads, barred underparts, and broad black and white bands on the tail. The pale undersides of the wings are bordered in dark brown. Juveniles are lighter brown with coarse streaking on the underparts, particularly on the sides of the breast; the tail is narrowly banded. In the West, rare dark-morph adults are completely dark sooty brown with a banded tail.

  • Behavior

    Broad-winged Hawks hunt small animals from perches underneath the forest canopy. They sometimes soar above the canopy or across gaps such as roadcuts. Their call is a piercing whistle on a single pitch.

  • Habitat

    Broad-winged Hawks live in forests and spend much of their time underneath the canopy. On migration they soar along coastlines and mountain ridges, often in very large flocks.

Similar Species

Red-shouldered Hawks are less compact than Broad-winged Hawks, with longer wings and longer tails. Red-shouldered Hawks have dark-barred underwings rather than the pale underwings of Broad-winged Hawks. They also have narrower bands on the tail than the Broad-winged Hawk, and in flight they usually show pale crescents or “windows” at the base of the outer flight feathers. Immature Red-shouldered Hawks are very similar in color pattern to immature Broad-winged Hawks, so use size & shape to distinguish them; the Red-shouldered has longer, blunter-tipped wings. The Short-tailed Hawk of southern Florida is usually clean white on the underparts with dark flight feathers. Immatures tend to have much less streaking than immature Broad-winged Hawks. Red-tailed Hawks are considerably larger than Broad-winged Hawks. They have pale chests, with a distinct, dark belly band. Cooper’s Hawk and Sharp-shinned Hawk are accipiters—their short wings and very long tails give them a shape that’s quite different from Broad-winged Hawks.

Regional Differences

The rare dark morph of the Broad-winged Hawk is much more likely to be seen breeding in the western portion of its range and migrating through the eastern Great Plains and Texas. It is entirely sooty brown except for white bands in the tail.

Find This Bird

Broad-winged Hawks are most easily seen during migration at hawkwatches such as Hawk Ridge, Minnesota, and Hawk Mountain, Pennsylvania. They form sometimes enormous aerial flocks, especially in southern Texas, in Mexico along the Gulf coast in Veracruz, and along the shores of the Great Lakes. If you’re looking for Broad-winged Hawks during summer, go to an eastern or northern forest and listen for their piercing whistles, often given while circling above the forest canopy, when they are easier to see.

Ladder Is High, Women Keep Climbing

Jack Bowers By

Sign in to view read count
Unlike college sports, there is no Title IX program for women in jazz. Those who wish to pursue that line of endeavor have to elbow their way into what remains essentially a male-dominated profession (or art) and keep climbing the ladder one rung at a time. True, women have made notable inroads in recent years and are no longer looked upon as simply "band singers," as they once were; but their numbers remain woefully small, even though their talent on a wide range of instruments can no longer be denied. There are even all-female big bands that can hold their own in any company, the most conspicuous of which is the New York City-based ensemble DIVA, led by the excellent drummer Sherrie Maricle. On the US West Coast there is, among others, the Montclair (CA) Women's Big Band, co-led by Jean Fineberg and Ellen Seeling, which brings us to the point of this brief essay.

Not only does the Montclair WJO espouse a high standard of musicianship, it believes in sharing its expertise and artistry with the next generation, hence its involvement each year for the past four in the Jazzschool Girls' Jazz & Blues Camp for girls in grades 6-12, apparently the only summer jazz camp in the world for girls only with an all-woman faculty. The week-long camp is being held this month at the Jazzschool in Berkeley, founded in 1997 by Susan Muscarella who serves as executive director as well as president and dean of the Jazzschool Institute. The goals for the Jazz & Blues Camp are admirable: to provide a supportive atmosphere in which young female musicians can hone their musical skills; to encourage friendships among young female musicians; and to foster enhanced self-esteem and confidence. Some of these girls may be the Regina Carters, Esperanza Spaldings, Terri Lyne Carringtons, Diana Kralls, Claire Dalys, Anat Cohens and Maria Schneiders of tomorrow. Anyone who has been lucky enough to see and / or hear today's world-class female musicians will no doubt applaud the Jazzschool's camp for introducing another generation of young women to the beauty and wonders "America's classical music."

Speaking of Women in Jazz...

A number of women placed high in the 60th annual Critics' Poll, which appears in the August issue of DownBeat magazine including Nicole Mitchell, who won as best flutist, and Schneider, best composer, arranger and big band. Anat Cohen was named best clarinetist, placed fifth on soprano sax and fourteenth on tenor, while Jane Ira Bloom earned second place behind Branford Marsalis on soprano. Spalding won a third-place vote on acoustic bass, was second behind Christian McBride on electric bass, and placed third behind Vijay Iyer and Robert Glasper as Jazz Artist of the Year. On the other hand, I've heard Spalding sing and am frankly puzzled by her third-place finish among female vocalists, trailing Cassandra Wilson and Gretchen Parlato but ahead of Dianne Reeves, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Tierney Sutton, Karrin Allyson, Krall, Roberta Gambarini and others. Carter earned the nod as best violinist, Ingrid Jensen was in tenth place on trumpet, Mary Halvorson fourth on guitar, Jane Bunnett eighth on soprano and sixth on flute, Daly fifth on baritone, Geri Allen eleventh on piano, Hiromi ninth on keyboard, Amina Claudine Myers eighth, Barbara Dennerlein tenth and Rhoda Scott twelfth on organ, Marilyn Mazur tenth on percussion. Carla Bley placed twelfth among composers, fifteenth among arrangers.

Halvorson, Hiromi and Parlato were listed among the rising stars, Tineke Postma likewise on soprano and alto sax, Tia Fuller on alto sax and flute, Grace Kelly and Sharel Cassity on alto, Cohen on tenor, Lauren Sevian on baritone, Ali Ryerson and Holly Hoffman on flute, Helen Sung on piano, Hiromi on piano and keyboard, Patrice Rushen on keyboard, Dennerlein, Myers and Rhoda Scott on organ, Halvorson on guitar, Linda Oh on bass, Carla Dihlstedt, Mary Oliver and Susie Hansen on violin, Allison Miller on drums, Peggy Lee (cello) on miscellaneous instrument, Satoko Fujii as composer, Chie Imaizumi as arranger. Still largely outnumbered by the men but gaining ground rapidly.

And that's it for now. Until next time, keep swingin.'..!

Product Description

Walsh Clark has survived a lot--alcoholism, the break-up his band, Lush, and the betrayal of the love of his life, Tammy DiLorenzo. Now Walsh is hiding out on a ranch in north Texas, working to stay sober and steer clear of his old life.

Tammy DiLorenzo knows how to be one thing: Walsh Clark's girlfriend. Together since they were fourteen, Walsh and Tammy are a rock and roll institution, and she's not about to give that up, even if Walsh has run away to hide.

When Tammy walks back into Walsh's life, the sparks fly, the heartache is hard, and the damage could be permanent. How much love does it take to forgive? And do Tammy and Walsh have enough of it to survive?

I really liked this book. Selena Laurence creates such depth in her writing, and it doesn't take long at all to get pulled into her storytelling. The emotions feel so real and her characters, although flawed and realistic, are just so damn likeable. When I read her work I find myself not only becoming attached to her main characters, but also the secondary characters who aren't just going along for the ride, they're an important part of the storyline as a whole. At the end I'm ready to move on immediately and find out what happens to them in the follow-up books.

With all the e-books out there these days I find it's a game of hit-and-miss when it comes to choosing a novel to read, but with Selena's work it's thankfully all hit. Wonderful writing. I look forward to continuing to support her storytelling.

4.0 out of 5 stars I love Lush sooooooo much!!! 15 September 2014
By Tiffany Williams - Published on
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
"I'm still human enough to be ashamed, still in love enough to be destroyed."

My goodness.

Betrayal and addiction are too powerful things.

For Walsh and Tammy, these two things have controlled their lives for way too long. They fell in love when they were just 14 years old, and they thought nothing would ever break them apart.

Addiction. It can come in many forms. For Walsh, it was alcohol. He started drinking at a young age and it only got worse. To the point that Tammy thought he would drink himself to death. With the help of Walsh's best friend, Joss, Tammy put Walsh in a rehab facility. But when she realizes that he will never be the same, what is she to do?

Betrayal. Tammy and Joss didn't mean for it to happen. It just did. They needed comfort to help them through this difficult time with their best friend. They had no clue that that one action would cost them friendship, a job, a band, and the love of Tammy's life.

After Walsh up and leaves without so much as a proper goodbye, Tammy is determined to find him and make things right. She follows him to Texas where he is working at a ranch that is ran by a couple that help people with alcoholism. Walsh was less than thrilled to see her, and he tried his hardest to get her to leave.

"Let's just accept that we hurt each other more than we ever should have and that being around each other only makes it worse."

Tammy doesn't back down that easily. She refuses to leave until they have worked through ther issues. But, some issues are just too hard to work through. Demons haunt you, and it's so difficult to recover completely. Let alone forgive someone.

"Have a beautiful life, pretty girl."
"Don't be ridiculous, Walsh. We're not done. We never will be."

Selena did such a good job showing a difficult side of alcoholism. Well, no part of it is easy, but a lot of people don't see the ends and outs of it all. My heart broke for Walsh. You feel for Tammy so much, too. But poor Walsh has so many demons and he puts himself down because he doesn't feel worthy enough for the love Tammy wants to give him. Heart breaking!!!

Tammy, that girl is a determined chick! Wow! I give her major props to handle what she did with such a great attitude. I kind of wanted to reach in a strange her a few times though. hehe.

I truly really loved this book and I can't wait for Mike's story next! Eeeek! More Lush, PLEASE!!!

"Just tell me-do you still love me? Even a little?"
"Why, Tammy? Why does it even matter?"
"Tell me, Walsh. I have to know. Please."
"As much as I hate it, Tammy...As much as I hate what you did, what I did, what I feel when I'm near you- I'll always love you."

4.0 out of 5 stars Difficult topic handled very well 16 February 2015
By Sandy Milan - Published on
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
This is book 2 in the series about members of a rock band. I knew before buying it that I didn't love the h because she was pushy and controlling. Book 1 tells us that she betrayed her long term fiancé with the H from book 1. So it isn't an easy story to read about how they get their hea. The H in this book is a recovering alcoholic and is trying to straighten his life out and get over the h's betrayal. For him this meant leaving the h at the start of the book and moving on even though he loves her. This is so true to life and I know many addicts of any kind are warned to break unhealthy relationships in their lives. The h isn't easy to love but she really works hard to redeem herself.

+++Minor spoilers+++
I was happy that neither of the main characters gets involved with anyone else in this book. It's all about them and how they find their way back to each other.

Can't wait to read the third book

By Heidi - Published on
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
Six months after their world fell apart, Walsh hangs on to his sobriety by a thread and Tammy will do anything to get the man she has loved most of her life to forgive her and start again, but love is complicated and it may not be enough to fix their broken lives.

Honestly, I was only going to read a chapter of this book to get a feel for it then start the series from the beginning, But after I started, I just couldn't put it down which is somewhat ironic given the plot is surrounded by addiction.
Selena Laurence does a phenomenal job of opening the minds of readers to show that past mistakes that seem unforgivable may be more about loss than selfishness and pulls them into the raw emotion of what pushed these characters to their limit in the first place.
The intimacy between Walsh and Tammy is heartbreakingly beautiful and the connection they share can never be erased no matter how much they keep their distance.

The writing of the inner voice of both these characters is flawless.

The dialogue is realistic and the pace of this love story is not rushed. This is not just about the isolation of recovery and finding self-worth, but also about repairing the bond of friendship and family because no one heals a damaged soul alone.
For the Love of a Lush is a sexy, intense, a little painful and heartwarming story that I recommend highly.

5.0 out of 5 stars I adore Walsh! 31 May 2014
By Heather A - Published on
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
It is no secret that Selena Laurence is one of my most favorite authors and has been since I read Hidden. Every book that she writes I read as soon as I can get my hands on it and it is suddenly my new favorite book by her. Lush 2 – For The Love Of A Lush is no different.

I feel like I am cheating on Joss right now. I love Joss. But Joss, now there is Walsh. I am sorry. I love him too.

We met Walsh ad Tammy in Lush 1 – A Lush Betrayal, which was actually Joss and Mel’s story. Tammy betrayed him deeply in the first book about the boys in the band and it all came out at the end of that book, though it tormented her throughout the story. In most situations, I don’t know how you come back from that, in fact a lot of couples don’t.

Tammy had a nervous breakdown.

The band broke up.

Walsh left.

Nobody could find him except for a couple of people who knew where he was.

Tammy wasn’t supposed to be one of those people.

Here Walsh was, off trying to survive the destruction of the life he knew while fighting to stay sober when Tammy shows up wanting to fight for what they had.

Poor Walsh.

This couple has so much chemistry yet they are so volatile. You know from the reaction between the two of them that something really good is going to happen or something really bad. It was just a matter of seeing which way the tempers were going to blow.

For The Love Of A Lush is full of so many emotions, Selena Laurence keeps us just hanging off the edge of “are they or are they not going to make it through this”? It is just everything you want in a romance book and more. I think this one was a little bit darker in where the characters were at than For The Love Of A Lush and it was perfect. There was so much guilt, anger, hurt, all of those emotions that needed to be worked through by all of the characters in the book. Walsh had so much he had been first letting go with alcohol and then struggling to deal with when he was sober that with Tammy being there, he had some darkness to struggle through.

I don’t want to give anything away while I go on and on raving about For The Love Of A Lush, so I will just end with, I LOVED it. I knew I would. It is an amazing book. Grab it and immerse yourself in Walsh’s world.

Thank you so much for my copy that was gifted to me! I loved it so much I have gifted more a few copies out via Amazon from myself to people.

Now I am hoping Mike’s book is next.

4.5/5 Stars

Ugh, this book did a number on me … but not in the way I was expecting. I was expecting for Walsh’s alcoholism to be a focal point of the story and, honestly, I really didn’t want to read a book about an alcoholic. Thankfully I didn’t have to. I read a book about two people trying to forgive each other as well as themselves as they attempt to salvage a once cherished relationship. Oh, and one of them happens to be an alcoholic.

For Walsh and Tammy, it was love at first sight. They were high school sweethearts who spent fourteen years together until one tragic betrayal destroyed not only their relationship but also the band and friendships within the band. Going into this book, I wasn’t a fan of Tammy’s but somewhere along the way, she gained my respect and forgiveness. I’ve been a fan of Walsh since A Lush Betrayal so it was difficult for me to have moments of dislike for him throughout the book. Trust me though, he earned them.

One of the things I like most about Selena’s writing is that it’s real. You can relate, sympathize and often times empathize with the characters in this story. Her plots are not far-fetched and ridiculous … she hunkers down on her characters and you live and breathe every up and down with them. I especially felt that way with Walsh and Tammy. I don’t think I’ve ever wanted two people to find their way back together more.

For the Love of a Lush is the second book in the Lush series and focuses on the band’s drummer, Walsh. The book can be read as a standalone but I strongly encourage reading the first book beforehand not only to be more in tune with Tammy and Walsh but because you really don’t want to miss lead singer Joss and Melanie’s story!

Editorial Reviews

"Myths of PR is one of the first books to realistically capture what public relations is today and educate the business community about its value and role in achieving commercial success. Not only does it quote many of the great and the good in PR today and showcase the worst, it's basically an ethics manual every practitioner in PR should be forced to read. Massive thumbs up from me." (Sarah Hall Consulting, Founder and Editor of #FuturePRoof, CIPR President-Elect 2017)

"If PR is in the dock, I'd choose Rich to represent us over any large agency MD. He demonstrates how PR thinking can thrive on what's possible today, instead of 'the way things are done' or 'who you know'. He helps illuminate our industry from a dark art to a beacon in the modern marketing mix." (Max Tatton-Brown, Founder and Managing Director, Augur)

"Rich Leigh's passion, experience and creativity sets him aside as one of the top PR professionals in the country with a breadth of knowledge that belies his years. A must read for any aspiring PR guru." (Paddy Power, Head of Communications, Paddy Power Betfair)

"At a time when 'fake news' is a common term it's no wonder there's a lack of trust in PR. Rich Leigh is restoring the faith at a crucial time with his book 'Myths in PR'. It's an essential guide for practitioners, an inspiring read for PR hopefuls and an open door for anyone interested in 21st century PR. Let's bury the myths and enjoy the most exciting time in history for communications." (Stella Bayles, Director, CoverageBook)

"If I could marry a book, this would be the one! There is almost nothing worse than someone saying that all publicity is good publicity and Rich Leigh hits that myth head on. What's more, I have dedicated the better part of the past 10 years working toward changing the perception that people have of the PR industry (though Spin Sucks) and everything Rich writes in this book speaks to that vision. I love it so much, I wish I'd written it. If you think PR is just getting your name in the paper so the phone will ring, this book is for you. Buy it, read it, highlight it, read it again, and share it. Your business depends on it." (Gini Dietrich, CEO of Arment Dietrich and author of 'Spin Sucks')

"At a time when the telling the truth is a revolutionary act, Rich Leigh tackles misconceptions and strategy head on with facts, tact and wit. This book is required reading for current and aspiring communications professionals and, frankly, anybody affected by or contributing to the daily onslaught of misinformation; a practice exercised at present, most damagingly and disconcertingly, by even the highest offices in the world." (Nick Hewer, PR impressario, 'Countdown' host and Lord Sugar's aide on 'The Apprentice' and personal PR advisor)

"This is a candid, punchy and practical book. Buy one for your mum or your children when they ask what you do. Buy one for your employer to underline the value of public relations. And buy one for yourself if you want to advance your practice." (Stephen Waddington, Partner and Chief Engagement Officer, Ketchum, Visiting Professor, Newcastle University)

"Rich Leigh's punchy approach to dispelling PR myths makes for an entertaining and informative read. Is PR really glamorous? Do you have to be an extrovert to succeed in the industry? Can you make something go viral? Rich gives his experienced insights into all these questions and more." (Sarah Stimson, Chief Executive, Taylor Bennett Foundation)
