As a result of the trauma and abandonment, Johnny would repress his memories of having a younger brother and sister. Growing up at the Quentin carnival, Johnny witnessed the death of his father during a stunt accident, and was left alone as his mother took his siblings away in fear of her family's curse. Johnathon "Johnny" Blaze was born in Waukegan, Illinois to Barton Blaze and Naomi Kale, and is the brother to Danny and Barbara Ketch. He would later give up the position as King of Hell and return into the mortal realm. Johnny would soon meet Alexandria Jones and make her a ghost rider and then meets Robbie Reyes becoming a mentor to him. His family were reborn as demons with Roxanne becoming Black Rose and would usurp Mephisto as King of Hell at one point. Johnny would later marry Roxanne and had children with her until they were killed by Zadkai's forces causing him to become Ghost Rider gain. Blaze would soon meet his long-lost half-brother Danny ketch who would also become a Ghost Rider himself and the two would fight villains such as Blackheart, Vengeance, and even Mephisto himself. Johnny would meet his childhood friend Roxanne and eventually the two would form a relationship. After this deceit he was forced to do his bidding but later rebels against him and vows to protect the innocent. ![]() However this proved in vain as Crash died in an accident not long after and Mephisto later fuses him with Zarathos into becoming the Ghost Rider. The Crash Stunt Show continue to grow in popular but Crash was about to die of cancer desperate to save his father figure Johnny meets Mephisto and makes a deal with him by selling his soul to cure Crash's cancer in the condition to being his servant.

With the rise of social media and online video content, being able to edit videos is a valuable asset. ![]() Video editing is an increasingly important skill in today’s world. ![]() The game has three major quests to complete, but almost every aspect of these quests is completely non-linear. The caves of Avernum are expansive, and every nook and cranny is full of danger and treasure. Unlike many modern RPGs, Avernum doesn’t focus on major plot choices or character development. ![]() The game’s good sense of humor also helps keep it entertaining. It really is one of the most interesting settings you’ll ever find in a game, though it is held back by its reliance on clichés like all-powerful tower-dwelling wizards and evil super-empires. The many characters you can interact with span a diverse range of stories, motivations, opinions, and personalities, and the countless tales they tell about their world help give it impressive life and depth. The vast subterranean prison of Avernum is inhabited by outcasts from the surface world who must all struggle to survive the same terrifying dangers after being cast into that forsaken abyss. It may not be very pretty, but there is still a lot to like in this game, and one of the best things about it is the setting. It also can be a bit hard to spot small items lying on the ground, but other than that the graphics are perfectly functional for gameplay and don’t get in the way. It also suffers from consistency issues since player character images, NPC portraits, menu illustrations, and large splash images all have very different art styles. The game uses fairly simple sprite graphics, very little music, and some art and sound effects are reused enough that they become a bit repetitive. Thus, I find myself cast out from the evil empire that rules the entire surface world and am thrown through a magic portal into Avernum, the labyrinthine system of inhospitable caves inhabited only by convicts and monsters.Īvernum was clearly created on a very small budget, and nowhere is that more clear than with its graphics and sound. Recently, Spiderweb Software released a second remake of that humble game, Avernum: Escape From the Pit, and that seemed like a good a time as any for me to finally play through it. I played the free demo for that game back then and enjoyed it, but never got a chance to play through the full game. Way back in 1995, Spiderweb Software released its first game, a downloadable RPG called Exile: Escape From the Pit. ![]() Her mother Tisha was an all-America heptathlete at Tennessee, her father Delino played 13 years of professional baseball in the Major Leagues and her brother Delino Jr. She was meant to be a professional athlete. When I saw her overseas and in watching all the film of her in college you look at her footwork and the intensity in which she fights through screens, there was no doubt that she is a good defender and takes pride in it."Īnother source of pride for DeShields is her family and background. "But Diamond (is) unquestionably (one) of our best defenders and (she) embraces that. It's unfortunate that people often have the myth that players who score a lot of points don't go out and play defense. Her defense has been and will continue to be just fine. "Whenever I would express my interest in Diamond, the question people would always raise to me would be, 'Yeah, but what are you going to do about her defense,'" Stocks said. Sky coach Amber Stocks followed DeShields closely in Turkey, and doesn't necessarily agree with DeShields' own perception of her defensive shortcomings of the past. She passed on her senior season at Tennessee and played in Turkey instead. A native of Georgia, she started her college career at North Carolina before transferring to Tennessee. ![]() So I just go out there and just try my best."ĭeShields got a valuable dress rehearsal for expectations in the WNBA last winter when she played professionally overseas. I don't want to be the rookie who has to learn those hard lessons from the vets. "I have athleticism and I have that ability to defend but I think knowing that if you don't defend (in the WNBA) you're going to get exposed, it's kind of lit a fire under me having to guard players like Angel McCoughtry and Diana Taurasi and all those other great guards that I've had to defend. "Historically, I haven't been too well known for my defense," said DeShields. But she says that defense wasn't always her thing. Lately, she has put more effort into her defense. "I want to be talked about with players like Angel someday," said DeShields, who has always been a scorer (she's averaging 12.3 points per game, second-best on the team, and scored a game-high 23 points against Atlanta). Start the chit chat, or make the full-out debates, about DeShields and her defense. 3 overall pick in the 2018 WNBA draft, wants to be in the same conversation as the best players in the league - players such as Atlanta forward Angel McCoughtry, a perennial all-star who scored a career-high 39 points recently and was averaging 18.5 points per game heading into the Sky game.īut McCoughtry was held to just 6 points on 1-of-11 shooting against the Sky, and DeShields guarded McCoughtry for much of the game. "I want to be in that conversation," DeShields, a rookie forward with the Chicago Sky, said Wednesday after the Sky posted a 93-80 win over the Atlanta Dream at Wintrust Arena in the South Loop.ĭeShields, the No. The premise sounds innocent enough, but the lessons learned about appearances and consequences make this series an enlightening watch.īased on the children’s books series of the same title by Cindy Callaghan, this series puts a mystical spin on the original with characters who are easy to resonate with. The “Just Add Magic” series debuted in 2015 and followed the journey of three best friends and their inevitable encounter with a magic cookbook. Just Add Magic (two seasons)Īmazon video writers have a knack for producing quality kids shows that are also a bit spooky. The sense of closure and the fond memories of the three best friends’ trials and joys impart the viewers with a sense of contentment that is hard to beat. However, all good things eventually come to an end, and the ending of this series might actually be the best part. From the ominous twinkling of the music box intro to whatever fantastical adventure the three friends get into for the day, this show is an addicting mix of witty and whimsical. Part of what distinguishes life on Normal Street from living at the Tipton is that their adventures are simultaneously magical and spooky. With the kind Gortimer, the energetic Ranger and the intelligent Mel tackling heavy subjects and the realities of growing up, it is clear that the writers take children seriously. The series has no airheaded Ariana Grande from “Victorious” or overly excitable Raven Symone from “That’s So Raven.” Each protagonist has their own quirks and charms and, unlike most Disney Channel shows, the acting is not super cringey. ![]() ![]() In terms of kids shows, of the many seasons of “Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street” are total game changers. ![]() What most expectant moms do not know about c-sections is that be it planned or scheduled, they can always have their birth plan in place. If you live far from the hospital, then it is better you check for the essential documents required from you. In my own case, I called my hospital ahead of time to know the exact documents to bring along. The first thing you want to pack in your hospital bag for a c-section is the essential documents like Photo ID, Insurance, and your medical record document. **The owner of this website, is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for website owners to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to, and any other website that may be affiliated with Amazon Service LLC Associates Program. ![]() Here are the things to put in mind for a seamless experience when packing your c-section hospital bag.

You are probably wondering what items to include in your c-section hospital bag checklist if it’s already planned or scheduled. ![]() Florrie Westwoodįlorrie Westwood (dates unknown) was a London designer active in the early part of the 20th century. As women were called into factories and offices, fashionable dress simplified and shortened. ![]() Though many trends had their roots in fashions of the previous decade, the First World War cemented the move towards more practical, less restrictive clothing. The 1910s were a period of dramatic change in fashion. During their life time Poiret and Paquin remained fierce competitors. ![]() The new high-waisted and shorter-skirted designs introduced by Paul Poiret were a main cause for this change. This design if compared to earlier ones by Paquin, seems to show a straighter and slimmer silhouette which was becoming increasingly fashionable towards the end of the decade. This design was created for the Summer collection 1908. The bottle green design is enhanced by the elaborate lace work adorning the cuffs and shoulder area of the dress. This could refer to the name of the dress, model or have some relation to a particular customer. There is a pencil inscription 'Reginella' on the right hand side of the model. The V&A has a magnificent collection of Paquin sketch books, ranging from 1897 to 1956. ![]() Paquin bought the House of Worth in 1953 but closed its doors on 1 July 1956. She was the first woman in her field to be awarded the Légion d'Honneur in 1913.Īt Jeanne Paquin's death in 1936, the house passed into the hands of the Spanish couturier Antonio Canovas del Castillo. One of her greatest achievements was the opening of foreign branches in Buenos Aires, Madrid and London - she was the first Parisian couturier to take this step and many followed her lead. The originality and opulence of Paquin's designs soon bolstered the international reputation of the fashion house. In 1900 Jeanne Paquin was elected president of the Fashion Section for the Universal Exhibition and, throughout her career, many of her creations participated to those international fairs. In an age when fashion advertising was in still in its infancy, Jeanne Paquin was the first couturier to send mannequins to the trend-setting and trend-spotting races at Longchamp and Chantilly. The innovative yet subtle use of furs became one of the house's trademarks. Paquin soon became famous for introducing coloured lining to otherwise mournful looking black coats, and for adding embellishments of lace or rich embroidery to black dresses. In 1890 Jeanne Paquin (1869 - 1936) and her husband Isidore Paquin opened their Maison de Couture Rue de la Paix in Paris, close to the celebrated House of Worth. 'Originality and Opulence': the House of Paquin These innovations, a significant liberation for women, were accompanied by the introduction of strong and vibrant colours. However, as the century unfolded, the concept of the 'natural figure' banished the corseted and exaggerated S-shaped figure that was fashionable at the beginning of the decade. E.1432-1957 1900sįor most of the first decade of the 20th century, fashion mainly showed seasonal modifications rather than any fundamental changes. ![]() Perhaps the need to improve the grittier side of the game, rather than anything technical, was behind the thinking.Īnd perhaps that is also the reasoning behind potentially allowing Palmer to spend a season away from the Etihad. Guardiola decided to take a different approach to McAtee's development in sending him out on loan, having previously decided to keep the likes of Phil Foden and Rico Lewis in his sights. “Everyone can see that I have developed I have got a little bit bigger and a bit more comfortable playing in front of fans," he admitted come the end of the season in May. With his development physically and mentally, the youngster grew into one of the league's most influential talents and played a major role in Sheffield's eventual promotion to the Premier League. ![]() The youngster had little choice but to bulk up in the battleground of the Championship, a league in which his technical quality shone through but meant little without the fight to back it up. He has been among the first-team squad throughout the treble-winning season, but only seven of his 25 appearances have come from the start - and only three of those seven have been in the Premier League or Champions League.Īttackers need consistent football in order to find their flow, and McAtee's record at Sheffield United last season is proof of such. The hope inside the club is that regular football at a high level will renew confidence and help the versatile forward rediscover his groove. But as he stays in Manchester, former under-23s teammate Cole Palmer looks set to head the other way.Ĭity do not want to lose Palmer permanently but are exploring the possibility of a loan deal, with a number of clubs across England's top two tiers, as well as some across Europe, keen on taking the 21-year-old on board. Such was McAtee's development in south Yorkshire that City will resist offers for another loan deal as Pep Guardiola looks to integrate him into a treble-winning squad. He has grown and grown into that role."ĪLSO READ: Man City unwilling to sanction Cole Palmer transfer this summer "He has learned a hell of a lot about himself, about first-team football and everything that comes with it when you are expected to perform week in, week out, every three days. "Macca has gone from a boy to a man," Heckingbottom told Yorkshire Live of the City loanee in May. His 37 league appearances yielded nine goals and three assists, enough to see him named Young Player of the Year for a side who achieved automatic promotion. A drop into the Championship was hoped to give the attacking midfielder a taste of senior football against experienced professionals, and he didn't half take it in his stride.
