![]() Many Alabamians thought it was the end of the world. But there's never been a Leonid storm as luminous as this one. Leonid meteor storms supposedly originate in the Leo constellation, have been recorded since AD 903, and show up every 33-and-a-bit years. One hundred and eighty-two years ago, a spectacular Leonid shower rained down on the eastern United States, but most especially Alabama. What comes first – the words or the music? Well, in this case what came first was the meteor shower. ![]() That's Frank Perkins' lone enduring contribution to the American songbook - his tune, and Mitchell Parish's words. Perkins had a non-meteoric career, except for one very meteoric hit: The apogee of his time in Hollywood was conducting the score for the screen version of Jule Styne's Broadway masterpiece Gypsy. He was a studio conductor and composer of serviceable film music for such landmark pictures as The Incredible Mister Limpet. The composer is a one-hit wonder called Frank Perkins, born on April 21st 1908 in Salem, Massachusetts. In other words, it's because of this record that Jimmy Buffett and She & Him sing this song today. All in twelve months.įrom that banner year of 1956, here's a track from Swingin' Affair! that isn't the greatest song in the world but it's beautifully sung to a marvelous arrangement - and the combination is so good that, as with so many other entries in this series, it secured the number's place in the standard repertoire. It ended with the sessions for Swingin' Lovers' swingin' successor, A Swingin' Affair! In between came a great soundtrack album of new Cole Porter songs ( High Society), an exquisite ballad set with the Hollywood String Quartet ( Close To You), a collection of specially commissioned orchestral pieces conducted by Frank ( Tone Poems Of Color), and a bunch of singles, variously slight, terrific, goofy, memorable, including "How Little We Know", "Five Hundred Guys" and "Hey! Jealous Lover". ![]() In 1956 there was so much of it: The year began with the sessions for the defining album of the early LP era - Songs For Swingin' Lovers, including " You Make Me Feel So Young", " Pennies From Heaven", " How About You?", " We'll Be Together Again" and, of course, " I've Got You Under My Skin". Bryce gives Madison the Alabama code of “God, country, and football,” but not necessarily in that order, to start off their weekend in Willow Valley.When Frank Sinatra and Nelson Riddle found their groove in the mid-Fifties, the music just poured out. However, Madison comes to his rescue and plays her part, as she is an actress bursting on the scene, but secretly desires the role she is playing. As southerners do, he is chastised for his lack of southern protocol. ![]() Bryce, also known as “Dixie,” is very tight with his high school friends even though he has not returned home in over a decade. Successful Hollywood agent, Bryce Dixon (James Maslow), and his client, a starlet on the verge of making it big, Madison Belle ( Ciara Hanna ), immediately connect on the farcical weekend, as just friends but realize they have chemistry because “your heart knows things that your mind can’t explain.”Īlthough the film is supposed to be set in Alabama, it mainly takes place in Beaufort, South Carolina, which with its Palmetto trees lining its iconic Bay Street, works just fine as a background for a couple to fall in love and cause a bit of trouble. ![]() Stars Fell on Alabama is the quintessential rom-com plot of bringing your movie star client to your high school reunion because you need a date or else be ridiculed by classmates from 15 years ago. There’s nothing like a high school reunion to make you revisit your bucket list and notice that there’s an unchecked box to get married and have kids. ![]()

I thought the cover art was brilliant as well. She fleshes out the already amazing characters to a new height. She showed excellent vocal skills without overdoing it. America's New Wild West! Narration: Annika Conner was hands down the best reader for this audiobook. I love that the author is mingling names from the old west as well as from classics and pop culture and creating this fabulous weird world that's totally fun. I also liked the new kid in town named Balmy who is Stormy Wether's kid sister. The characters, mainly Kit Carson are relatable and likeable.

From that perspective, customer service should be included as part of an overall approach to systematic improvement. From the point of view of an overall sales process engineering effort, customer service plays an important role in an organization's ability to generate income and revenue. In this sense, an organization that values good customer service may spend more money in training employees than the average organization or may proactively interview customers for feedback. Customer service concerns the priority an organization assigns to customer service relative to components such as product innovation and pricing. The perception of success of such interactions is dependent on employees "who can adjust themselves to the personality of the guest". ![]()

Mazda has become the second best-selling car in Canada during 2006. Although their value-oriented price, the first Mazda 3 vehicles are often characterized as more costly sports sedans. The first generation (2003 – 2008) featured high performance, superior handling, attractive style, and great interiors. The Mazda 3 was created in order to replace the Familia/323/Protegé Series and in its lifespan was manufactured in three generations. In 2003, the Japanese automobile manufacturer Mazda introduced a new series of compact cars named “Mazda 3” (also known as “Mazda Axela”). ![]() ![]() The giraffes were popular to feed, and at one point there was a line up of cars waiting to get close to them. ![]() The second held giraffes and zebras together, including a leucistic (white) zebra that was either cool or freakish, depending on your viewpoint. The first separate enclosure held a single male giant eland the paddock was a very nice size for him, although like the rest of the park there was minimal variety in terms of landscape. Minimal topographic interest and watchman's fence barriers made the facility itself rather displeasing to look at, no matter the angle.Ī lemur island in a pond in the second large paddock held a group of ring-tailed lemurs with a painted house and rather lacklustre climbing structure.Īt the end of the drive through are several enclosures at the side of the road separated by fences feeding is possible in some (the first two described below) if you drive right up to the fence. There was some grass cover, but a lot of bare dirt due to the large number of animals. Each had a pond area for the animals to keep cool in, as well as some shade structures and large shipping containers (like are used for transporting goods by train) were also available for the animals to take shelter in. The paddocks were rather plain, and smaller than most of the other drive-throughs I have been to. who would want those horns near their car?) The bison were a bit pushy at times (not such a good thing), and one Ankole steer kept approaching vehicles (I don't think anyone fed him. (They were all very quick to pick up on a lack of pellets in a car, even with all of the windows open). Although the "welcoming crowd" were very persistent, crowding around the vehicles, those later in the park were much mellower and would approach the cars only if the cups were shaken. Not very good manners, if I may say so myself. I arrived early, so the animals were all hungry, and as soon as I opened the window a female elk had her head INSIDE the car rummaging for the cup of pellets. None of the animals are especially shy, and the elk are downright bold. Also present in the drive through area are llamas/guanacos and alpacas, sika deer, a highland bull, as well as a herd of bison and a small group of Ankole cattle. ![]() The main species held (by number) are fallow deer (1,000+? Several hundred, at least) and American elk (75ish). Although the drive through is divided into several paddock areas, all of the gates were open during my visit, so that everything was everywhere. At the entry to the drive through, there is a booth selling large cups of herbivore pellets (the small variety!), and in the middle of the drive through there is another booth where carrots are available for purchase. ![]() The park is divided into two parts, the drive-through and a 'village' area.Īs you enter the park, you get a little booklet of rules (how to feed, what to do if. I decided to visit the park since it was (relatively) close to where I was in Detroit. ![]() ![]() ![]() My mom had bought a stripped ’74 Valiant new as affordable, reliable transport to work as a school teacher. When I first got my driver’s license I was quickly indoctrinated into slant six culture. Was there a part of me that realized that a good percentage of cars on the road could turn my tiny Valiant into a sheet of tin foil with just a light tap of my rear bumper? Absolutely, but I tried to ignore that thought: I took this old sedan to my dry cleaner, I took it to my junkyard to haul parts, I took it to restaurants, I took it to official meetings, I took it to parties, I even took it 70 mph on road trips - the Valiant got me everywhere I needed to go without issue and in comfort. The ride was soft, the bench seat was cushy, and the radio cranked Alan Jackson whenever I needed it to. The manual brakes, too, weren’t that bad at slowing the 2,600 pound car down. The huge steering wheel and short gearing in the steering box meant taking turns without power assist - even at low speeds - wasn’t really that hard. I expected this car to be a pain in the ass given its age and low cost, but it was totally fine. In the snow, those thin, studded snow tires were absolute beasts, slicing through the fluff with ease, with those rear tires - weighed down by the car parts I had in the trunk - pushing the car confidently down the road. After I poured in some clean fluids and slapped on some used winter tires, the machine got me 650 miles back to Michigan without any major issues. What I didn’t know was that the $2,000 four-door sedan would actually live up to - hell, exceed - its bulletproof reputation. When I spotted a 1965 Plymouth Valiant with a stick (on the column) and one of the toughest engines in automotive history, I knew it was the one. So I searched for a car, with my criteria revolving around simplicity. I’d just driven from LA to New York, and didn’t feel like flying back to Michigan. I’ll admit that I bought the Valiant on impulse. Somehow my 1965 Plymouth Valiant - which I just sold - ended up being the best “winter beater” I have ever owned here’s why. ![]() And, aside from some small issues here and there, it really was. Equipped with the Chrysler Slant Six “Leaning Tower of Power” mated to a three-speed column-shift manual - and devoid of luxuries like power steering, power brakes, power windows, or power locks - the old car had all the right ingredients to be a stout, unkillable machine. Last fall I bought a 1965 Plymouth Valiant. ![]() ![]() ![]() Pick up orders have no service fees, regardless of non-Instacart+ or Instacart+ membership.

The entire building is self sustainable, being powered by an arc reactor, and its electronic systems are maintained by J.A.R.V.I.S. Tony Stark maintains a New York residence there with Pepper Potts, and the top ten floors are reportedly taken up with many technological research and development. In this reality, Stark Tower is a high rise building towering over Manhattan located at 200 Park Avenue, where the MetLife Building stands in Earth-1218. Marvel’s Midnight Suns is available now for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, with PS4, Switch, and Xbox One versions coming later.Marvel Cinematic Universe ( Earth-199999) Other locations featured in the game are epic too, but the Avengers Tower is certainly a unique environment to engage with Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ turn-based tactics. The Avengers Tower is as much a cinematic spectacle as it is a strong example of Midnight Suns' combat and boss fights, making it indomitable as a set piece arena. This is a great boss fight that introduces players to different grenades dropped on the stage, all while players continue to evade area-of-effect attacks from helicopters. ![]() The Avengers Tower stage also has a second phase to its combat mission that transitions players to another part of the roof where they must battle Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ Crossbones. This gives the Avengers Tower a scale and scope unmatched in any location prior, even if that is a wholly visual effect. Moreover, players can use the camera to peer along the helipad’s edge and look down the skyscraper at its massive ‘A’ insignia. Not only does its oval helipad provide a unique ring-shaped arena, but as players swivel the camera around, they are able to see the entirety of Manhattan stretching out into the distance. The Avengers Tower combat mission set piece is multi-faceted. The Sanctum Sanctorum is the only other location that gives the Avengers Tower a run for its money in terms of mainstream recognition, but it is also visited multiple times and therefore has less of a dramatic impact in that regard. This does alleviate some of the game’s suspense and stakes, especially if players are more inclined to spend their time on general combat missions for additional resources instead of continuing with the narrative exclusively. This diversity makes Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ Abbey feel like a home for the player and its characters, who are all encouraged to mingle and hang out leisurely between combat missions. The Abbey is a refreshing change of pace, which is good considering this is where players spend almost all of their time. Beyond its New York locations, the game takes place in locations unfamiliar to fans, and as such there is a lot of originality peppered throughout Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ narrative. Marvel’s Midnight Suns including the Avengers Tower may seem like an indulgent use of Marvel iconography, but it does not overwhelm the entire game. ![]() RELATED: Marvel’s Midnight Suns: Blade and Captain Marvel’s Relationship is Endearing Marvel’s Midnight Suns Honors Marvel Iconography However, Marvel’s Midnight Suns presents a uniquely stunning set piece in one of its narrative-driven combat missions, where the Hunter, Iron Man, and Captain America battle Hydra goons and Crossbones on the helipad of Avengers Tower. These sets all blend together aside from maybe Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ Mid-Manhattan Museum, and the American Southwest’s deserts are understandably more plain with fewer things to look out on. Likewise, players spend as much time as they would like in New York City’s streets during the game’s opening. That is why seeing multiple relevant Hydra facilities is still engaging, though they may not leave any lasting impressions in terms of standing out from one another. ![]() Each combat mission’s gridless stage is its own set piece with environmental interactions that players can spend heroism on, but while they are always contained to a rigid arena, these sets establish the continuity of the world that Marvel’s Midnight Suns’ iconic characters inhabit. Marvel’s Midnight Suns has few spectacular set pieces, at least from a visual standpoint. ![]() |
