Rhee Elizabeth-I have been singing since I was three. Influenced by shaina Twain, lady antebellum, Jay z, Eminem and many more. Have played trumpet clarinet flute, piccolo and viola. Sing karaoke when as much as possible. Have been writing songs since 11... Respect all types of music from jazz to country, rock to EDM... have one song produced by Keith Dunham, co-wrote with John called pre-historic love. Attended a song writers round at a celebrity event in 2015, best night of my life. Love going to concerts, meeting other artists who share the same passion and get excited from not only their performances but from the light/stage production.

Paige Alexander - is an American Country Pop, and Christian singer who grew up on rock and roll and country in the 1970's.  Paige's influence in country was from listening to the Everly Brothers, Glen Campbell, Patsy Cline, and Dolly Parton.  She found her true love of country music after hearing Alison Krauss and Union Station perform Keith Whiltley's "When You Say Nothing At All".  Paige threw herself into the New Country genre and formed a band in the early 90's "Ruby Shoes" a New Country Cover band covering Faith Hill, Terri Clark, LeAnn Rimes, Jessica Andrews, JoDee Messina, Mila Mason, The Dixie Chicks and more.  Paige's favorite singers include Martina McBride, Jessica Andrews, Julie Roberts and today's Maren Morris.  "Tennessee Honey Band" was formed in 2013 covering modern day New Country music.Type your paragraph here.

Nicole Emerick -  I'm a singer and I love to see smiles on people's faces and love to give and get back positive energy .. I love to make people smile not knowing what their life could be like and just to see that one smile knowing you could of made someone's day, that makes me happy. I don't do it for the money I do it because it makes me feel good and makes everyone around me feel good as well. And it's also  a way to express oneself ..singing has gotten me through a lot of ups and downs in my life; music makes people happy ... And that's why I need to write about happy things, not negative stuff, that's what makes the world a happier place! Positivity 👍..that's me 😝

Chris Dundon - (born September 16, 1971) is an American rock musician, singer and songwriter. He is best known as the co-founder and front man of the rock band C.O.I., of which he was the lead singer, and primary songwriter. C.O.I. released their debut EP “Along for the Ride” in 2008 and full length, self-titled studio album in 2012. Dundon left C.O.I. in 2014 to pursue other musical ventures. Since his departure he has collaborated with various artists and is currently active in several studio and song writing projects.

Ginger Teabo - I started singing and performing on stage at a very early age. I was a natural to singing and playing keyboards. I was involved with the chorus at school, and learned to play various instruments. As a child, I usually entertained guests when they came to my house to visit. I had been with two heavy metal bands briefly, and wound up playing my first solo gig in a local bar at the age of fourteen. In 1985, I met Keith Dunham at an audition for the band he was in at the time, "Gard." We felt we had more to offer musically, so we broke off and started our own band, "Shadow." We played heavy dance rock featuring mostly cover songs with some originals mixed in. We made demos in the studio and played shows in NJ and PA for seven years. I moved on to studying classical voice with Deborah Berioli, and did one performance of "Amahl and the Night Visitors" with "The Village Opera Company." I briefly toured with "The Trinity Christian Ensemble," (A gospel choir), as a soprano, then went on to playing in several rock bands. I then teamed up with jazz guitarist, Scott Laine for a smooth jazz/easy listening project. I did a solo project at SCA Renaissance Faires as a traveling minstrel for awhile, singing songs from the 1500's. I performed throughout my life; playing at weddings, funerals and parties when I wasn't playing in clubs or bars. I decided to do some of my own recording, so I started composing my own music and played all instruments to accompany my voice. My main musical influences are: Blues, soul, R&B, gospel, metal, rock, opera, and jazz. Twenty years later, Keith and I teamed up once more to form the acoustic duet, "Blue Mile." The songs we performed showcased our varied musical genre interests. Today I am just recording for myself and sharing my music with my friends.

5 questions to ask when considering a counter-offer

Orange neon arrow on wall pointing to information about counter-offers

You've been offered a new job, but just as you hand in your notice, you're approached with a counter-offer from your current employer. What to do? These questions will help you work through your options...

1. Why did you consider a new job in the first place?

Changing jobs is never easy, so you must have had good reason to explore the job market and consider leaving your current role. Perhaps you've been lacking motivation lately and have felt like you aren't moving quickly enough or maybe you've fallen out of sync with the company values since you joined.

There are plenty of reasons why it might be time to move on, and for most people these are not just about money. It can feel flattering to get a pay rise and feel you’re wanted, but it’s unlikely to be a long-term solution for you unless you can feel confident that the underlying issues that made you want to leave in the first place are likely to be addressed.

"After all, 39% of people who initially accept a counter-offer end up back in the job market within a year anyway," according to Jason Grundy, Country Head at Robert Walters.

2. Have you taken some time to weigh up your decision?

Our initial reactions to a counter-offer can be emotional and impulsive – a flush of pleasure at feeling in demand, perhaps, and the feel-good factor of an unexpected pay rise. Loyalty and affection for your current colleagues and workplace can play a part too.

"But it's important to separate the emotional side of leaving your job with the reasons behind your decision," says Jonathan Green, an expert consultant at Robert Walters.

“It can feel like going through a break-up when you leave your job,” he says, “but try to distance yourself and be rational.”

39% of people who initially accept a counter-offer end up back in the job market within a year

Jonathan recommends making sure you take a few days to consider your options. Draw up a list of pros and cons, and discuss the issue with family and friends you trust. In this way, you can make sure that your decision has been carefully argued, and isn’t just based on an initial emotional reaction.

“Don't be blindsided by the emotion of leaving a workplace; focus on the reasons you decided to do so,” he adds.

3. Is the pay rise enough to stay? And why are you only being offered a pay rise now?

Part of the counter-offer is usually a significant pay rise. This certainly makes staying in your current role an appealing option – but is higher pay really enough? After all, if your pay was the problem you probably would have addressed this issue with your manager before feeling compelled to look for other jobs.

And why has it taken until now, as you're about to resign, for your company to offer you a pay rise? You need to consider whether you would have been rewarded for your hard work and contribution to the company if you hadn't handed in your notice.

“If they can offer you more money now, it’s only natural to ask: Is there a reason they didn’t pay you that before?” says Jonathan Berry, an expert Robert Walters manager who recruits lawyers for roles in the Middle East.

“It could mean they’ve been under valuing you. And even if they pay you more now, are you just being frontloaded a pay review you might have got anyway, taking you to a pay level you will now be stuck on for longer?”

From a business point of view, it's frankly cheaper and easier for a company to pay a bit more to retain an existing, valued employee rather than invest in recruiting, training and developing a new starter from scratch. From this perspective, the pay rise may seem less flattering. So again, it's important to look beyond and think about your position in the long run, when the novelty of increased pay has worn off.

4. How will your future in the company be affected?

Some employees worry that the fact that they are now known to have considered accepting another job could affect the way they are perceived in the company if they choose to stay.

It might be that you sense a lessening of trust in you, so that if ever you work from home or have to attend a medical appointment, you feel all eyes watching you. Or it might be a concern that people in the company see you as a ‘flight risk’, and so are reluctant to involve you in strategic work or confidential information because they fear you may be on the verge of looking to leave again.

“Bear in mind that it will now be common knowledge that at one point at least, you wanted to leave,” says Jonathan Berry. “So, you need to factor in whether that knowledge will prejudice your future and they only want to save the cost and disruption of having to replace you.”

5. What is going to make you happy?

If you've been feeling excited and ready to begin working in a new environment and a more fulfilling role, this is a very telling sign that you shouldn't accept your counter-offer.

Whilst it's tempting to stick to what you know, with the benefit of a bigger pay cheque, taking the time to evaluate your options will mean you don't regret your choice in a few months' time.

So make sure that, whatever option you choose to accept, it's for the right reasons.

Check if it's time to move on from your current role

Large format print and branding solutions. Designed for you.

About Us

Rocket Media is a growing design and print company in Flax Bourton, just on the edge of the stunning city of Bristol. We have over twenty-five years experience in the digital design, graphics and print sector, and have made a name for ourselves by producing only the highest quality work at very competitive prices.

As both the design studio and the large format print production are based under one roof, we have the ability to forge solutions to design and graphics issues that many other companies can’t. We can have involvement right from the design stage to the end product, so we can take on even the most ambitious projects knowing exactly how they will be executed.

This means our clients avoid the time-consuming and stressful back-and-forth between design studios, print companies and production houses and instead enjoy a straight-forward and prompt service.

Internal Graphics

Display Graphics and Posters

We print on high quality paper with colour-fast, fade-resistant inks, giving you photographic quality results. If you’re looking for a custom size we can print any size in-house up to 1525mm wide by 50 metres long, so just drop us an email or give us a call with your specifications.

We also provide high-quality prints on a wide range of materials including vinyl, canvas, wallpaper, non-curl roller banner & pop-up material, and lightbox material.  We can mount paper or vinyl onto 1mm, 3mm, 5mm or 10mm foamex (PVC), foamboard/foamcore (lightweight foam centred board for internal exhibition use), card or Dibond (aluminium composite).

For longevity, we can apply a variety of seals and laminates to weather-proof or life-proof your graphics, and we can also source aluminium clip frames at regular or custom sizes.

For roller banners, pop-ups and other exhibition graphics

External Graphics

Signage and Graphics

In addition to printing direct to 3mm, 5mm and 10mm Foamex (PVC), we can also print direct to Dibond (aluminium composite), acrylic and glass, all of which are perfect for all your signage requirements, inside and out.

We can also supply fully branded free-standing signs like A-boards and swing signs.

For single-sided banners we use a high grade, weather-resistant PVC, and for double-sided banners we use high grade blockout PVC. This means that, even without hemming, you won’t experience any fraying. We also print with environmentally friendly latex ink at 100dpi, giving you a full-colour, photographic quality image with up to 5 years fade-resistance.

In-house we can print up to 1525mm, but if you’ve got a larger requirement then we’ll outsource it to one of our trusted trade suppliers. If you require pockets for poles or reinforced eyelets, let us know – we will always produce your banners to your exact specifications.

Get your message out there with a range of external branding solutions from flags to vehicle graphics.

For all our available available graphics systems, please click on our catalogue button.

Exhibition Graphics

Roller Banners

Roller banners are a great, simple marketing tool with loads of impact and we can supply roller banners in widths from 800mm to 1500mm and heights from 2 metres to 3 metres, single and double sided, complete with high-quality, non-curl graphics and carry bag.

All of our pop-ups are supplied with high-quality non-curl graphics with optional extras available like spotlights, carry case and a wooden tabletop to convert your carry case to an exhibition table.  Pop-up systems are lightweight for easy transportation, and are simple to assemble and dissemble – if you’d like a demo we’re happy to show you how!

Graphics Systems

For a wide range of other available graphics systems, please click on our catalogue button.

Exhibition Stands

Modular Exhibition Stands

Our modular exhibition stands consist of anodised aluminium base units that will support your main graphics, and which can be easily transported assembled into a wide range of configurations giving you a stand suitable for use over and over again. You can also add on a variety of accessories and components such as spotlights, literature holders, storage space, I-Pad fixings, coffee tables and lit acrylic display units.

Custom Exhibition Stands

Need some ‘WOW!’ factor?  Rocket Media can make you a completely custom exhibition stand. Using our extensive knowledge, in-house design studio, print service and build partners, we will work with you to create an exhibition stand that no-one will forget. This might include graphic backdrops, temporary flooring, lighting and surfaces – anything you can imagine we will aim to build, on budget!

Give us a call to discuss what you’d like from your exhibition stand – no matter how ambitious your plans are.

Point of Sale

Shelf barkers, shelf wobblers, shelf strips, graphics for display units, tent cards, stickers, hanging signs, lightbox graphics – you name it, Rocket Media can produce it in huge quantities.

How about the logistics?  Tell us where it needs to go and we’ll package it all individually and ship it to your stores both country-wide and internationally.

Not quite sure whether your point of sale idea will do the business?  If you require point of sale mock-ups or one-offs for trials, we’ll be happy to discuss your requirements – please just give us a call.

Corporate Events

Event Graphics Design

Beginning with the event logo and working through the theme, we will ensure everything you need is included in your chosen branding style, from the large (such as banners and stage backdrop graphics) to the small (such as menus, flyers, lift button stickers and badges).

We also design and supply pre-event marketing, which might include posters, graphics, table-top literature, banners or video stings – as well as any other ideas you may have.

Event Graphics Production

We will produce all of your large format graphics in-house and because of our numerous years of experience in events and production, our team will ensure all of your graphics and hardware are finished to the highest quality, in durable materials and complete with all the necessary fixtures and fittings.  And all on time.

Event Graphics Installation

Rocket Media will provide an experienced, dedicated team to deliver and install everything prior to the event, and dismantle it again after it’s finished, meaning all you have to worry about is arriving on the day.  Afterwards, we can also store anything that is to be used again safely at our premises in Bristol.

Corporate Literature

Whilst we’re big on large-format printing, we can also produce quality, stylish and creative solutions for your everyday print requirements.

Ask us about logos, leaflets and fliers, business cards, company brochures, training manuals and newsletters.

Whether you’re simply looking for a fresh take for your company literature, or you need a complete re-brand from logo up, we’ll be very happy to discuss your requirements.

Electronic Solutions

As well as creative solutions for print media, at Rocket Media we also have extensive experience in designing for screen.

With dedicated web designer and video programmers we can undertake any manner of electronic design.

Whether it’s a total website redesign to complete your rebranding, converting your existing website to a content-managed site, video editing & production of conference openers or the programming of interactive, animated training courses, we can help.

And if you have anything more ambitious in mind, let us know.

Junior graphics production technician and installer

We now have an exciting new opportunity for someone with practical skills to join our expanding print finishing department as a junior graphics production technician and installer.  It’s a busy and varied role with, for the right person, plenty of opportunity to develop a whole range of skills.

Whilst experience in a large format print finishing department would be looked on favourably, it is not essential as full training will be given; however confident use of power tools would be ideal.

A clean, full driving licence is required.

A typical day might include:

  • Printing to large format printers using Onyx 12 and Mimaki software
  • Operating the large format laminator
  • Organising the print workload, in conjunction with the Production Controller
  • Trimming prints and boards accurately
  • Cutting, weeding and applying computer-cut vinyl graphics
  • Stocktaking and ordering of materials
  • Controlling and collating large print jobs
  • Packaging graphics suitably for overnight delivery
  • Installing graphics and signage at client premises and event venues
  • Constructing off-the-shelf exhibition sets/display stands

We offer a bright and modern working environment, a super friendly team and free on-site parking.

If you have an eye for quality, a sense of urgency, and take a pride in your workspace and equipment then we’ve probably got the job for you.

Interested?  Please e-mail your CV to in the first instance.

See Norm Macdonald Ask Drew Barrymore About Her Cocaine Use

Comedian’s new talk show, ‘Norm Macdonald Has a Show’ premieres on Netflix this fall and will also feature Chevy Chase, David Letterman, Judge Judy and others

Norm Macdonald, the onetime SNL “Weekend Update” host and failed candidate to inherit The Late Late Show, will be back behind a prop desk this fall as the host of Netflix’s Norm Macdonald Has a Show. A trailer for the talk show spotlights Macdonald stiffly questioning the title of the program, asking Drew Barrymore if she misses cocaine, David Letterman if he thinks much about dying and Chevy Chase about knowing Bob Dylan (“I fucked him,” Chase answers). Throughout, it shows Macdonald’s off-the-cuff, irreverent brand of silliness. “This isn’t in the script,” he says comically toward the end.

The first season, for which Letterman serves as “special counsel,” will premiere on September 14th and feature 10, 30-minute episodes. In addition to the aforementioned people, Macdonald’s guests this season include David Spade, Judge Judy, Jane Fonda, M. Night Shyamalan, Michael Keaton, Billy Joe Shaver and Lorne Michaels. Macdonald’s sidekick on the series is comedian Adam Eget, who manages the Los Angeles club the Comedy Store and had a role in Joe Dirt 2: Beautiful Loser.

In a 2014 Rolling Stone interview, Macdonald described how he found out that he had been considered as a host for The Late Late Show – unbeknownst to him – and did not get it. “When I left Saturday Night Live [in 1998], a week later, they phoned from Letterman,” he recalled. “They said, ‘Would you mind coming in next week and doing five straight man-on-the-street pieces?’ And I thought ‘That’s weird they were asking me to do that.’ But I said, ‘Sure, yeah of course.’ Then they phone a few days later like, ‘Nah, we don’t want you to do that anymore.’ A week later, Rob Burnett, who was the producer of The Late Show, he called me and he said, ‘Oh, you didn’t get the job.’ ‘What job didn’t I get?’ ‘They’re going with Craig [Kilborn], and Dave really fought for you.’ I was like, ‘Wait, for what again?’ And Rob Burnett said, ‘[Former Late Late Show host] Tom Snyder, he’s leaving.'” He added at the time, “I never knew any of this, and if I hadn’t known I would’ve felt fine.” Now he’s finally getting his shot.

Da Enzo al 29

Via dei Vascellari, 29
Mon – Sat: 12:30pm – 3pm & 7:30pm – 11pm

da enzo al 29

An experience at da Enzo’s is about as close to a home-cooked meal in nonna’s kitchen as you are likely to find in Trastevere. Starkly-lit and strictly no-frills, this authentic trattoria keeps loyal patrons coming back for more thanks to its quality, rustic dishes. Think Roman primi classics including Cacio e Pepe and Amatriciana, as well as decadent meatballs in rich tomato sauce.

Da Teo

Piazza dei Ponziani, 7
Mon – Sat: 1pm – 3pm & 8pm- 11pm

The Ultimate Guide to Rome’s Trastevere Neighbourhood. Best restaurants, bars and things to do in Trastevere.

Specialising in white truffles and porcini mushrooms, the culinary staff skillfully prepare a range of hearty dishes suited to any palette. Also specialising in seafood-oriented pasta dishes as well as tasty zucchini flowers, da Teo won’t disappoint.

Il Maritozzo Rosso

Vicolo del cedro, 26
Mon – Sat: 12pm – 12am

Il Maritozzo Rosso Trastevere

Il Maritozzo Rosso brings a gourmet twist to Rome’s traditional maritozzo. What’s a “maritozzo”? It’s a typical Roman dessert consisting of a small loaf cut in half stuffed with plenty of whipped cream. But forget il maritozzo’s classic whipped cream filling and say hello to savoury and gourmet combinations that will make your taste buds tingle. Think a maritozzo filled with crispy guanciale and cacio e pepe, or the maritozzo with stracciatella from Puglia, anchovies from Sciacca and yummy baby spinach. These are just two of the 30 different recipes the owners have created.

 Pizzeria Ai Marmi

The Ultimate Guide to Rome’s Trastevere Neighbourhood. Best restaurants, bars and things to do in Trastevere.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do, which means abandoning any preconceived notions of sampling thick-crusted pizza; here it’s all about doing it thin! Perhaps one of Rome’s most iconic and recognised pizzerie, Ai Marmi has been serving tasty, no-frills pizzas for decades in its very casual and relaxed environment. A favourite of ours is the margherita with gooey buffalo mozzarella.

Immersed in a culture full of pizza expertise, Seu Pizza Illuminati is the ultimate heaven for the pizza lovers in your life. What I find so delicious about this restaurant’s pizza is the thick and doughy crust – crucial to the overall pizza eating experience.

La Prosciutteria

Open daily: 11am – 11.30pm

The Ultimate Guide to Rome’s Trastevere Neighbourhood. Best restaurants, bars and things to do in Trastevere.

When conjuring images of Italian culinary extravagance, there are the staple contenders: mozzarella, carbonara, and of course prosciutto. Recognising the latter’s importance in the Italian antipasto tradition, la Prosciutteria captured a niche market, and has devoted itself to serving a decadent mix of cut hams off the bone. Sample one of their mixed platters, and couple it with a fine red.

Coffee Pot Trastevere

Set in an uber-cool, collective space featuring lounge and an outdoor patio for the summer months, this is the type of place you don’t want to leave in a hurry. Specialising in sushi and tacos, all that’s left is a drink from the extensive cocktail menu.

Whichever is your penchant, rest assured that Checco Er Carettiere will deliver. Since the 1900s, this rustic taverna has been treating its customers to typical Roman dishes. Wanting something a little heartier? They also specialise in fish dishes.

The Ultimate Guide to Rome’s Trastevere Neighbourhood. Best restaurants, bars and things to do in Trastevere.

While Rome is not necessarily synonymous with a seaside town, it certainly packs a punch when it comes to its decent selection of seafood restaurants. Trastevere’s Vizi is no exception to the rule. Serving indulgent dishes under the watchful culinary eye of Chef, Fabio Di Felice, pastas are perfectly paired with seafood, and the wine selection is sound.

Glass Hostaria

Michelin starred, elegant, and aesthetically modern, Glass Osteria is the place you go to for that special occasion in Rome. With its menu often changing, diners can be treated to something a little more unique than what they may usually find in a typical osteria.

Serving typical food in a rather old-fashioned environment reminiscent of 1960s Italy, Pucci is lovable kitsch; and its food is fine too!

On Sundays they often host ‘Brunch and Vintage’, which is your chance to sample brunch goodness and try in-house vintage gems.

Carlo Menta

Via della Lungaretta, 101
Sun-Thurs 12pm-11:30pm – Fri-Sat 12pm-12am

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

Although Carlo Menta is not one of the first names that comes up when asking where to eat in Rome, it’s a safe bet. From the classic roman pizzas and pastas, to signature dishes from all over Italy, Carlo Menta’s true strength lies in its variety and prices. In fact keep in mind that you need a reservation, and that you and your party must all be present before they seat you! With one of the most affordable menus – €4 for a round margherita pizza – you’ll leave Carlo Menta with a full stomach, and wallet!

Alle Fratte di Trastevere

Via delle Fratte di Trastevere, 49/50
Mon- Sun 12-11om, closed Wednesdays

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

Here at Alle Fratte di Trastevere, the cooks know what’s good. With a typical osteria image and menu, what’s special about Alle Fratte are its American specialties. With an original NYC cook, you can find everything you might be craving from back home. Fresh bagels, pumpkin spice latte, apple crumble, homemade brownies, bacon, and much more are what sets this place apart from the rest. With the best of both worlds, Alle Fratte has you covered on all fronts. And on Saturdays and Sundays, they brunch!

Rome Breakfast Guide

Hidden in the Trastevere nooks, Le Levain is an irresistible bakery that calls upon the french tradition. True to its name, in english “le levain” means “mother yeast”; a prized ingredient when baking. Used in almost all of their recipes, Le Levain is popular for its homemade delicacies. From buttery croissants, macaroons, eclairs, and original tartes, Le Levain gives cornetti and pasticcini a run for their money. With flocks of students and locals often filling the bar, you’ll be able to experience Paris in Rome for a meal!

Dar Poeta

Vicolo del Bologna, 45
Mon-Sun 12am-12pm

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

Translated, this osteria’s name means “the poet’s place” and is one of the most loved restaurants in Trastevere. With your typical checkered tablecloths, wooden chairs, and simple tableware you’ll feel right at home. Boasting a long list of pizzas to choose from, you’ll also be able to try different combinations you may have not known about. A personal favorite is definitely the “Cacio e Pepe pizza” that yes is like the pasta, but on a pizza! And no, that doesn’t mean the pasta is physically on the pizza (carb overload x100) but simply a pizza with cacio cheese and black pepper sprinkled on top. Might become your favorite too!

Caffe Settimiano

Via Porta Settimiana 1

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

With a long line of tables outside and the sun always shining on them, Settimiano could become your favorite bar in Trastevere. And not bar as in cocktails and shots, but the classic caffè and cornetto Italian bar. With lovely bartenders and a welcoming interior, you will be pampered and looked after the whole time. In case you don’t want to sit outside no worries, settle down in the other room; perfect for catching up with emails, friends, or a good book. Bask in the sun as you enjoy your cappuccino or try one of their lunch options- sunglasses are a must!

Via della Pelliccia, 27
Mon-Sun 12pm-3am

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

And just when you thought Trastevere couldn’t get any better, Pico’s proves you wrong. With colorful interior, a delicious mexican/american menu, and an overall happy vibe served by the food and its staff (like Sesa at the cash register and her patient soul) Pico’s knows how to treat its visitors. Burritos, tacos, philly cheesesteaks, and much more are what make this tasty haven a popular destination for meals when in Trastevere. Whether you choose to eat here or take it home, I highly recommend adding churros and extra guac to your order. And yes, Tuesdays are indeed TACO Tuesdays; a corona and 3 tacos for 7 euros!

Eat Street

Piazza Trilussa, 40
Mon-Sun 10.30am-4am

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

On the corner right next to Meccanismo, Eat Street is perfect to grab a quick delicious bite to eat. With gourmet burgers and craft beers, Eat Street specializes in high-end street food. If you aren’t in the mood for burgers though,  Eat Street serves up some delicious pasta and vegetarian cuisine as well. Especially great if you’re planning on sightseeing and need a meal that doesn’t involve sitting at a restaurant, here is the place to go. Make sure you try their desserts as well, the cheesecake isn’t New York, but is most definitely up there!

Via Benedetta, 1
Mon-Sun 8am-2am

Restaurants, trattories and bakeries in Trastevere

With an entrance that may go unnoticed, Mammò is a must-see for anybody looking to eat healthy street food. Small yet well organized, Mammò has a few tables you can eat at and a long list of takeaway items in case the tables are full. With options that range from bagels and salads, to craft beers and cold cut options, you can choose between having a snack or a bigger meal. Vegan friendly, the ingredients are topnotch and carefully paired to guarantee the best results possible. Make sure to give the pastrami salad a go!

Our take on Auberge de La Fontaine

Located in the heart of Montreal, Auberge De La Fontaine is a charming bed and breakfast in the Mont-Royal neighborhood. Convenient for both business and leisure travelers alike, this property is within walking distance to downtown as well, as just minutes to the business sector. Auberge De La Fontaine only has 21 rooms, so guests can expect a personalized level of service that sometimes falls by the wayside at larger hotels and resorts, and since the hotel is in a Victorian house, old-world allure prevails. Guest rooms are comfortable and include a wide variety of amenities including top-quality mattresses, down comforters, Wi-Fi, bathrobes, and even Jacuzzi tubs in some of the rooms and suites. Enjoy a hearty breakfast buffet each morning before exploring the city. Parc La Fontaine, the third largest park in Montreal, is right across the street, and there's plenty of shopping to be done on the Plateau Mont-Royal. But whatever it is you end up doing on your Montreal trip, you'll always have the Auberge De La Fontaine to come back to after a long day of exploring.

Eden Hill man banned for 20 years for beating dog

Eden Hill man banned for 20 years for beating dog

Scott Toop (33), formerly of Eden Hill, pleaded guilty to ill-treating an animal and in Armadale Magistrates Court today was fined $3000 plus costs and prohibited from owning an animal for 20 years.

In February 2014, Mr Toop struck Flash, a two year old female black and white staffy cross, after she had wandered into a Noranda Pharmacy.

As Mr Toop approached Flash in the pharmacy she cowered and walk backwards, he then roughly grabbed her and punched her causing her to make high pitch squeals before carrying her out.

Flash was punched again as she was carried to the car, where she was thrown into the back where the punching continued.

Flash was forfeited to RSPCA WA and remains in our care being treated by the dog behaviour and veterinary teams.

On arrival to RSPCA WA, Flash would back away from anyone who approached her. If we attempted to touch her she would scream.

The behaviour team has spent over 15 months working with Flash to get her to the point where she will now readily approach people for interaction and only rarely screams.

RSPCA WA Chief Inspector Amanda Swift said this was a violent and disturbing incident and sadly evidence showed this was not the first time Flash had suffered at the hands of Mr Toop.

"Aggression towards an innocent animal is unacceptable, but to do so in a public place shows Mr Toop has no concern for animals or the people who witnessed the incident.

"RSPCA will not tolerate people who treat their animals in such a manner and will take the necessary action to protect the welfare of an animal.

"We encourage anyone who sees any acts of animal cruelty to contact us and report it."

"We are pleased to have achieved justice for Flash and of the progress she has made after extensive behaviour modification with our dog behaviour team," Inspector Swift said.

An Irish make up artist has been travelling around by tractor to make sure that brides are wedding ready, despite Storm Emma!

Anne Marie Doherty didn't let snow blanketed roads stop her from getting to Knightsbrook Hotel in Co Meath, to help bride Elaine Doyle look her best for her big day.

The brave MUA was ferried by tractor to the venue yesterday morning.

Speaking to RSVP Live, Anne Marie explained:

"Brides put so much into their weddings, between getting all of the suppliers booked, going for trials and paying deposits.

"Elaine was up to hight dough wondering would they, or should they, turn up on the day."

The Athboy based make up artist was determined not to let Elaine down, despite treacherous road conditions:

"It was touch and go because the roads were so bad, so I realised that the only way I could get to her was by tractor.

"There's a secondary road from Athboy to Trim, which would be about nine miles from me to the hotel.

"Not everybody has a tractor, but luckily my sister's fiancé was on hand.

"We had to stop a few times to pull people out of ditches. The secondary roads were unreal!

"I thought, 'Are we ever going to get there?'

"I just didn't want to let her down!"

Anne Marie added: "I suppose people think that hair and make up would be the last think you'd worry about, but its a huge thing for a bride.

"A bridesmaid did the hair, so that was covered.

"I just said I had to do what I had to do to get there - and I did!"

Thanks to Anne Marie, Elaine walked down the aisle looking absolutely stunning.

Congrats to Elaine and Edwin - and fair play Anne Marie!

France to end sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2040

France to end sales of petrol and diesel cars by 2040
France has announced it will end the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles in less than 25 years. The country plans to meet its targets under the Paris climate accord, new Ecology Minister Nicolas Hulot announced Thursday.

“We are announcing the end of the sale of gasoline and diesel cars by 2040,” he said.

Hulot did not specify if this would mean a ban on the sale of petrol and diesel cars. Neither did he explain how the ban would be introduced or whether it would include hybrid vehicles.

The minister said the target would impose a “heavy” burden on local carmakers. Leading French producers Renault and PSA, the maker of Peugeot and Citroen cars, are partly owned by the state.

Authorities in Europe have been looking to raise taxes on diesel vehicles. Diesel cars are more polluting than originally thought, and there are plans to ban or restrict them in some cities.

The German cities of Stuttgart and Munich said they are looking to ban some diesel cars, saying they cause a rise in respiratory disease.

Sales of diesel cars in Europe have been plunging since the Volkswagen emission scandal. Germany plans to add one million electric vehicles on the road by 2020.

All Volvo cars launched after 2019 will be electric or hybrids, the Swedish-based company said on Wednesday. It is the first major traditional automaker to set a date for phasing out vehicles powered solely by the internal combustion engine.

Last year, hybrid and electric cars accounted for only 3.6 percent of sales in Western Europe.

3rd US citizen arrested, remains detained in N. Korea – report

3rd US citizen arrested, remains detained in N. Korea – report
A third US citizen has been arrested and remains in custody in North Korea, according to South Korean news agency Yonhap.

A Korean-American professor in his 50s, identified by the surname Kim, was detained at Pyongyang International Airport just as he was leaving North Korea, the agency said, citing unidentified sources.

The academic, who used to work at the Yanbian University of Science and Technology, was working on aid and relief programs for the country and had spent a month in North Korea to discuss those plans in further detail.

The reason for his arrest is still unclear, and there has been no comment from the US authorities so far.

South Korea’s spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, said it “was not aware” of Kim’s arrest, according to Yonhap.

If the report is confirmed, the professor will become the third US citizen to have been detained that remains in custody in North Korea.

More than 10 US citizens have been detained in North Korea since 2009, but only two still remain under arrest there – a college student named Otto Warmbier and a Korean-American pastor named Kim Dong-chul.

North Korea has no formal diplomatic contacts with the US, and relations between the two countries have recently soured dramatically. Only a couple of days ago, Pyongyang warned Washington that it could launch a “super-mighty pre-emptive strike” that would “reduce the US to ashes,” after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said the US is looking to pressure Pyongyang over its nuclear program.

Absolutely LOVE these bars, and so do the dogs. I've never seen them so crazy about food before!

Smart choice for the working dog! As a Service Dog handler, sometimes we have LONG days and miss our regular dinner time. While we've tried our best to prepare snacks (since our dogs are on a raw diet), we haven't found anything quite as wholesome until now. We always have a Ruff Bar (or two!) packed away for our outings. In additional to helping bridge the gap between meal times, Ruff Bars are also extremely easy to break down into bite size pieces as a special treat that is sure to light up eyes of your pup. We can't wait for more flavor options to be added because our dogs are #RuffPups for life!

Perfect for all of our adventures! I have been hoping for a product like Ruff Bar for years. Living in Colorado, my two dogs and I are constantly hitting the trails for hiking, backpacking, camping, or just general training opportunities. These bars have been a god send for us! Not only do the dogs LOVE the taste, but I love how simple and healthy the ingredients are, and how compact and easy to pull out of my pack they are. Instead of reaching into a bag of mushed up treats, all we have to do now is grab a bar and go. We will be buying these for years to come!

The product arrived so fast to my house which is such a plus. These bars really keep my place organized, I just organize them like little books in a container! I love how I can stuff this in my pocket, basically slip it anywhere. My dog gobble it up like there's no tomorrow. I also feel like an awesome dog mom for feeding my pup a good snack.

My dogs’ favorite snack ever! I have four dogs and they ALL absolutely adore ruff bars. They go crazy whenever I bring them out during hikes or even during training sessions. I love that I can read every single ingredient that goes into it and there’s no mystery chemicals preserving the integrity of the bar, and I love that they are so compact. Maximum nutrition while taking up minimal space. Perfect for hikes or camping! I tasted them myself and they taste like jerky! We are forever fans of ruff bars now and will be repurchasing as many times as we need to!

The inspiration to create RUFF BARs came out of a desire for an easy to carry, nutritionally appropriate food bar for our dogs while on the trail hiking and backpacking.

Most dog snacks or on-the-go meals on the market today are heavily based on cheap fillers like potatoes, oats, legumes and beans such as chickpeas, lentils and peanuts. Those kinds of foods are alright for omnivorous humans to eat but not healthy for your carnivorous canine pal to ingest on a regular basis.

More about RUFF BARs...

We keep it simple with whole food ingredients and no preservatives. Just what you would want to eat.

With the assistance of a Veterinarian and a Naturopathic Doctor we created a bar composed of top notch ingredients that not only fulfills your pup's nutritional requirements, but is quick and convenient too.

We believe that your dog should get the very best so we use only grass fed-no antibiotic-no hormone beef and organic ingredients. Dogs are natural carnivores so don’t compromise.

There may be a lot of stresses on the baby’s skull

and spine due to an awkward cramped position

in the womb or during the birth process.

  • Chiropractic care for babies

    Chiropractic is often known for its treatment of bad backs and people are often surprised to hear that many chiropractors work with babies. Perhaps you have heard of Cranial work or Cranial Chiropractic/Osteopathy.

    There may be a lot of stresses on a baby’s skull and spine due to an awkward cramped position in the womb or during the birth process. Intervention such as ventouse, forceps and emergency caesarian may add to these stresses.

    At Saffron Walden Chiropractic Clinic some of our chiropractors have a special interest in working with babies and children and have followed specific post graduate training to develop the skills necessary.

    Our chiropractors take a detailed history of the mother’s pre-natal and natal health, together with their baby’s birth and medical history. Our examination includes assessment of the function of your baby’s joints, paying particular attention to the spinal joints, pelvis and cranium (skull). Chiropractors work gently with their hands on these areas. Many parents report that their babies cry less, are more settled, need to be held less and wake less frequently, after receiving Chiropractic care.

    If you would like to know more about Chiropractic care for babies please get in touch.

My husband and I took our five month old son to see Jo. Jo was understanding, kind and Brilliant with George. She really took time to explain chiropractic treatment to us and how it might help George. We noticed a difference in a few treatments and we are so relieved. We wish we had gone to Jo sooner! We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Jo to family and friends.

Becky Varey.

As a forceps baby we felt it was even more important to get Maiya treated. She was immediately calmer after her first session and remained a very content baby. Goodness knows how life may have been different.

Emma and Christian Lacey.

Jo has been an amazing help. My baby son was unsettled but with Jo’s advice and treatment I feel he really improved and is much happier and more settled now.

Samantha Clayden.

From the age of 5 weeks Ella started to become very unsettled during the evening. But after 2-3 sessions with Jo, which involved chiropractic treatment, it was as if a switch had been turned on which resulted in us having a much happier, settled and contented baby. It was our last resort, as we had never really believed that it would possibly work….how wrong were we! Thank-you.

Andy and Carolyn.

The Saffron Walden Chiropractic Clinic treated my son George from seven months old and the level of expertise coupled with their manner towards both George and my wife and I, has been second to none. I would whole heartedly recommend them.

Dave Gooderham.

As a second time mum, I just knew Darcey wasn’t ‘right’, it was like something was bothering her and wouldn’t let her be the smiley baby she wanted to be. After one session with Jo she was like a different baby. Darcey settles easier now and is always smiling, with just a few bad days instead of dreading each day, we can now enjoy our days together. Thank you.

Lauren Brown.

Weymouth 2012 Good for Other Teams

While the U.S. experience at the 2012 Olympic regatta in Weymouth fell very much under the “agony of defeat” category, the experience was plenty thrilling for many of the other countries taking part.
Publish date:

While the U.S. experience at the 2012 Olympic regatta in Weymouth fell very much under the “agony of defeat” category, the experience was plenty thrilling for many of the other countries taking part.

Monopolizing the headlines was British sailor Ben Ainslie struggles for “greatest Olympic sailor ever” status. Ainslie achieved this title by winning a fourth gold medal in the Finn class that, in combination with a silver he won in the Laser class in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, propelled his overall count beyond that of the four golds won “the great Dane” Paul Elvstrom between 1948 and 1960.

Ainslie’s win proved especially dramatic as he had to come from behind to defeat Elvstrom’s countryman Jonas Hogh-Christensen, who seemed all but unbeatable in the first half of the regatta. Hogh-Christensen had to make due with a silver, though, after being defeated by Ainslie in the regatta’s final race.

 Australia's Tom Slingsby

Australia's Tom Slingsby

The rest of the British team also did well, picking up five medals for the fourth consecutive Olympics. Topping the medal count, though, were the Australians, with three golds and a silver. These included a gold for defending Laser world champion Tom Slingsby, and golds in the men’s 470 class and 49er class.

Other standouts included New Zealand’s women’s 470 team, which scored gold, New Zealand’s 49er team, which scored silver and China, which scored gold in the Laser Radial class, when Beijing bronze medalist Xu Lijia defeated the Dutch champion Marit Bouwmeester.

And let’s not forget Pavlos Kontides of Cyprus, whose silver in the Laser class represents the first Olympic medal in that country’s history. Good on ya, Pavlos!

Latest appeals court ruling a victory for LGBT activists — and a blow for Trump's Justice Department

The judge affirmed that sexual orientation discrimination is discrimination as defined by the Civil Rights Act

Nicole Karlis
February 26, 2018 11:47PM (UTC)

The latest ruling by a federal appeals court in Manhattan, in which the court determined that firing employees over their sexual orientation is a variation of illegal sex discrimination, is being hailed as a victory for the LGBT community.

In the case in question, Zarda v. Altitude Express, Inc., skydiving instructor Donald Zarda was allegedly fired by his employer because of his sexual sexual orientation. The Justice Department intervened unexpectedly in July 2017, and argued against the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, claiming that Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which defines workplace discrimination as that of “race, color, religion, sex or national origin,” didn’t protect gay employees.

However on Monday, the second U.S Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that it does.

"Sexual orientation discrimination — which is motivated by an employer’s opposition to romantic association between particular sexes — is discrimination based on the employee’s own sex," Judge Robert Katzmann wrote, according to the New York Times.

The ruling was made in the majority of a rare en-banc court composed of 13 judges. Three judges dissented. Typically, three-judge panel rulings are made in an appeals court.

Advocacy groups are celebrating the ruling.

“Today’s ruling is the latest victory affirming that employees should be evaluated only on their work ethic and job performance – not on who they are or who they love,” said Masen Davis, CEO of Freedom for All Americans in a statement. “Courts across America are increasingly in agreement that who a person loves has no impact on what they produce in the workplace, and no one should be singled out because of their sexual orientation.”

Zarda first sued Altitude Express in 2010, over an incident that occurred while he was working as a skydiving instructor for a client named Rosanna Orellana. Orellana was accompanied by her boyfriend, David Kengle. According to the case document, Zarda generally disclosed his sexual orientation to female clients when they were accompanied by a partner, to reduce any awkwardness from the closeness of being strapped together. After skydiving, the couple reportedly discussed their individual experiences which is when Kengle learned that Zarda told Orellana he was gay. Kengle reportedly called Altitude Express to complain about Zarda; he was shortly fired after.

Zarda died in a skydiving accident in 2014, but his relatives continued with the case.

"I think this would have meant the world to him. I think he would have been very excited and very encouraged," Zarda’s sister, Melissa, told Bloomberg. “I feel strongly that in the workplace employees should be evaluated based on their job performance and by their work ethic and never by who they love.”

Saul Zabell, who represented Altitude Express, told Reuters he agreed with the 2nd Circuit’s ruling, but that the company didn’t fire Zarda because of his sexual orientation.

Always on the first Monday in May, the Met Gala takes place and its 150-foot-long red carpet is probably one of the most-watched fashion events of the year with a gazillion of celebrities walking it in the most exquisite gowns. This year, it celebrated the opening of the Costume Institute’s exhibition, “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between,” that will go on until September 4, 2017.

Today I would like to share my personal list of best-dressed (and worst-dressed) celebrities that made their way last night into the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Temple of Dendur for the party of the year. The dress code called for avant-garde black tie, either you go big or go home, enjoy!

My favorite look on the red carpet: Lily-Rose Depp‘s pink Chanel look detailed with oversized silver camellias and a creeping vine.

Who did meet the dress code the best? The answer is clearly Rihanna. She showed up once again in a full-on fashion fantasy from the Comme des Garçons F/W 2016 runway that was also an architectural miracle, paired with Rihanna Loves Chopard jewelry.

As 2017 Met Gala cochair of the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between” exhibition, Pharell Williams wore ripped denim by Comme des Garçons Jeans with a black biker jacket, and plaid shirt. His wife, Helen Lasichanh, paired her straight-off-the-F/W-2017-runway red onesie with a blonde topknot. Not showing any arms, it looked like a fashionable straightjacket.

Cara Delevingne appeared as a sci-fi fashion fantasy wearing an embellished pantsuit from Chanel‘s Spring 2017 Couture collection. I love how she always surprises.

One of my favorites! Even that Zendaya rejected the theme of the night, she ensured all eyes were on her wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda ball gown covered in a tropical parrot print.

Two thumbs up for bringing glamour to the red carpet. Jennifer Lopez looked gorgeous in a Valentino dress and Harry Winston jewelry.

Lily Collins showed up with a graphic dark bob and black lipstick, juxtaposing her sweet Giambattista Valli gown and her fierce Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

Plus-size model Ashley Graham channeled her inner flamenco dancer in a fabulous custom H&M dress. So pretty!

I am in love with Blake Lively’s Atelier Versace gown that featured a draped gold beading at the bodice, giving way to a plumed train in shades of blue. She had the best accessory of the night with her … her husband:-)! Couple goals I would say!

Another one arrived with her handsome husband who might have thought looking at his wife Gisele Bündchen in Stella McCartney, of Ed Sheeran singing «I’m in love with the shape of you» …

If you don’t have a husband to bring, bring the designer of your dress! That was Dakota Johnson‘s motto of the night, as she appeared in a stunning ruffled black Gucci gown with Alessandro Michele at her side.

Radiant like a sun goddess, actress Jessica Chastain in a yellow fluid Prada gown paired with some stunning Piaget jewelry.

Lupita Nyong’o also dazzled in Prada, pulling off the vibrant orange shade with Tiffany & Co. jewelry.

Gigi Hadid looked amazing in a nude, asymmetrical Cinderella-esque Tommy Hilfiger dress. I am just not so sure about the stay-up.

Showstopper! Leave it to Bella Hadid to steal the show in a glittering catsuit by none other than Alexander Wang. She looked so fabulous!

Priyanka Chopra did not disappoint in a bold Ralph Lauren trench coat gown with an unbelievably long train. Very different, something I like. I am just not a big fan of her booties in combination.

Like it or not, the award for most nude goes to none other than Kendall Jenner, whose slinky La Perla Haute Couture dress will absolutely go down in Met Gala history.

When it comes to Gwyneth Paltrow‘s understated Calvin Klein dress, I love the cut and the color, but I am not fond of the ankle length.

Katy Perry was unfortunately not among my favorites last night. The custom red tulle gown by Maison Margiela, designed by John Galliano himself, was topped with a heavy-looking wool coat covered in adornments like tulle flowers and plenty of beads. On the veil, a cryptic message across her eyes spelling “Witness” was embroidered, nevertheless it was truly one of the night’s most creative looks.

My favourite picture of the night! Have a look at Sarah Paulson dressed in a beautiful classy Prada gown. Her facial expression says everything! The American Horror Story actress seemed to have a heart attack after bumping into Madonna with the designer of her camouflage Moschino dress by her side, Jeremy Scott. Declaring war on fashion in camouflage, the famous singer was definitely not going incognito. I am not a fan of her look.

Swiss power at the Met Gala… Roger Federer in Gucci. I adore this snake embellishment on his back!

LoL, Sandra

"Beauty and the Beast," a tale as old as time

As a young girl watching “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” with her mother, Hilary Maiberger made an important decision.

“I remember leaning over to her and saying, ‘Mom, I want to be Belle someday,’ ” recalled Maiberger, who plays the plucky heroine in a brand-new touring version of the Broadway musical.

Local parents might hear similar comments when “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” stops in San Luis Obispo on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The story of “Beauty and the Beast” has spawned countless adaptations on screens big and small, from Jean Cocteau’s 1946 fantasy film to the 1980s television series starring Linda Hamilton as an assistant district attorney and Ron Perlman as her lion-like lover/protector. (The show was rebooted in 2012 with Kristin Kreuk and Jay Ryan as the central couple.)

But perhaps the best-known version of the fairy tale is Disney’s 1991 Academy Award-winning animated movie “Beauty and the Beast.” The stage version, which premiered on Broadway in 1994 and ended its run there in 2007, follows the same basic storyline while adding seven songs that offer fresh insight into the characters.

“It’s a richer experience,” said director Rob Roth, who helmed the first Broadway incarnation of the musical.

In both Disney versions of the tale, Belle (Maiberger), a headstrong village girl, has caught the eye of her town’s most eligible bachelor, Gaston (Joe Hagar), but she doesn’t care much for his macho, self-absorbed attitude. She’d rather spend her time reading.

Belle’s life takes a sudden turn when her inventor father, Maurice (William A. Martin), gets lost on the way to a fair and seeks shelter at a seemingly abandoned castle — only to discover it’s actually occupied by several enchanted servants, including cook-turned-teapot Mrs. Potts (Erin Edelle), butler/clock Cogsworth (James May)and valet/candelabra Lumiere (Hassan Nazari-Robati).

It’s also home to the Beast (Darick Pead), a handsome young prince transformed by the same enchantment into a hideous monster.

Only Belle has the power to break the spell — provided she can see past the Beast’s ugly exterior to discover the wounded soul inside.

“Looking beyond the exterior and falling in love with someone for who they really are inside … is the main message of the show,” Maiberger said.

Roth said the idea of transparency extends to set design as well.

While the original Broadway production had a two-ton stationary version of the Beast’s massive castle, the touring production features three smaller set pieces “that can travel and move and spin around the stage,” he explained. “That gave us a lot of flexibility and freedom.”

Ann Hould-Ward’s Tony Award-winning costumes have also been redesigned for a lighter, more layered look.

Although “Disney’s Beauty and the Beast” is known for its splashy song-and-dance numbers — such as “Be Our Guest,” “Gaston” and the title tune — Roth said the musical’s true appeal lies in its story of love and acceptance.

“The reason ‘Beauty and the Beast’ has been around for 20 years is really the story,” Roth said of the musical, which features a book by Linda Woolverton, music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. “(It’s) a really beautiful tale that people of all ages relate to it in one way or another.”

According to Maiberger, the musical’s central couple has a lot to do with its charm. She described Belle as a down-to-earth heroine who always follows her heart.

“She’s so passionate. She’s strong, she’s brave. She’s not your typical damsel in distress,” said Maiberger, who has also played Disney heroines Cinderella in “Cinderella” and Jasmine in “Aladdin: The Musical Spectacular.” “I could really go on and on about her.”

The Beast is a kindred spirit, Maiberger added.

“He’s so similar to her, and it’s so comforting to know there’s somebody out there like that,” she said.

Pead, who plays the Beast, agreed that his character shares a special bond with Belle.

“He’s really mean and really sad and really introspective, and (he) gets to get outside himself” while undergoing both physical and emotional transformations, Pead said. “It’s something I love doing every night.”

Mounted Shooting Tips

The first is Saturday, April 19, the second Saturday, June 7, and the third will be Saturday, August 9.

At our clinics, we always start with a gun safety briefing, followed by each new person loading a revolver and shooting five balloons while walking to get the feel of shooting while moving.  Then we bring in the horses and have both the new and experienced shooters ride around a circle of balloons, letting each horse decide how close he can comfortably be to the balloons.  No horse is ever "forced" during any of our exercises.
