dark As the Ghostrunner community eagerly awaits news of the cyberpunk hack ‘n’ slasher’s upcoming sequel, publisher 505 Games has decided to throw them a bone in the form of some Ghostrunner 2 concept art — depicting the hi-tech towers awaiting Jack’s next bout of high-speed slice ‘n’ dice action. The new art was revealed as part of a special live stream this weekend, which you can watch right here. Currently in development at Polish studio One More Level, Ghostrunner 2 was first announced way back in May 2021, though very little has been revealed of the project to date — with plot details, locales, and mechanics still under wraps. One can only assume that the developer will stick with what brought it to the dance, offering highly adrenalized action, wanton violence, and dizzying acrobatics set against the backdrop of a highly impressive future world and the A.I.-based power play that forever shakes its walls. Originally published by Polish company All-In! Games, the Ghostrunner IP was eventually purchased by 505 Games — following an amusing bit of business where the company first refuted All-In!’s offer, then decided that, actually, they would like to buy Ghostrunner after it sold 600,000 copies and recouped its development costs in a single day. With 505 Games in its corner, One More Level hopefully has the extended resources and marketing power to make the sequel a real smasher. While it has undeniably been very quiet on the development front, fans can hope that the studio is simply busy making another fantastic entry to one of the coolest franchises of the modern gaming generations. Gameplay video might still be some time away but, as the adage goes, the best things come to those who wait. And given the total radness of its predecessor, I’m more than willing to wait a little longer. Ghostrunner 2 is in development at One More Level. Platforms or release date are yet to be announced.

Ian Bickis, The Canadian Press EQ Bank owner Equitable Group Inc. said Tuesday it has closed its takeover of Concentra Bank in a deal valued at $495 million. The takeover of Concentra boosts Equitable’s assets under management base by $13.6 billion to help it compete, said chief executive Andrew Moor. “Banking is a bit of a game of scale, especially in this digital world. So when we put Equitable and Concentra together we will be the seventh largest bank in Canada. That’s a pretty meaningful jump.” Concentra operates under the Wyth Financial brand, and also has a Trust division that provides services largely to credit unions with $38.6 billion in assets under administration. Equitable has been talking to numerous credit unions since announcing the deal and will be looking to expand its services to the sector, including syndicating loans, supporting registered savings businesses and advisory services, said Moor. “There’s a wide range of activities that we are deeply enmeshed with the credit union world and I’m looking forward to trying to build those capabilities.” Along with added assets, the takeover of Concentra adds around 400 staff to bring Equitable’s total employees to about 1,800. With the deal closed, Wyth operations will be replaced by EQ Bank as the single digital platform. Overall, Equitable said the deal brings its direct and indirect client total to more than five million. The Credit Union Central of Saskatchewan had been the largest shareholder of Concentra before the sale at about 84-per-cent ownership.

Bands just ain’t what they used to be. In the 20th century, most kids dreamed of learning an instrument and jamming with their friends in a makeshift garage band as they sought fame and fortune. And while the aforementioned scenario still occurs across the country, the frequency of said scene has diminished tremendously. With the advent of hip-hop and studio quality programs like Ableton and FL Studio becoming more accessible to everyone, most kids aim their musical aspirations at the rap game. Consequently, bands aren’t as cool as they used to be, and finding great groups is substantially more challenging. However, even though rock bands aren’t as plentiful as they once were, the sparse field of contenders has virtually ensured that only the strongest bands survive. Such is the case with Polyphia, the band linked above. The song The Audacity from their new album Remember That You Will Die showcases the intense musical complexity and craftsmanship Polyphia is capable of. On January 31, 1978, post-punk pioneers Talking Heads performed “Psycho Killer” on the British music television show The Old Grey Whistle Test.

FREE Breaking News Alerts from StreetInsider.com! StreetInsider.com Top Tickers, 11/9/2022 TORONTO, Oct. 18, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Eloro Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ELO; OTCQX: ELRRF; FSE: P2QM) (“Eloro”, or the “Company”) is pleased to announce assay results from two (2) additional diamond drill holes from its on-going drilling program at the Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project in the Potosi Department, southern Bolivia. One drill hole, DSB-36, collared 400m southeast of the Santa Barbara adit, tested the extension of the core of the high-grade feeder zone at Santa Barbara while hole DSB-34, tested the potential southwest limits of the high-grade feeder zone as shown in Figure 1. To-date, the Company has completed 79,258m in 118 drill holes to-date at Iska Iska, including four holes in progress, as shown in Figure 1. Table 1 lists significant assay results for the drill holes reported. Prices used for calculating Ag equivalent grades are as outlined in Eloro’s July 21, 2022 press release. Table 2 summarizes drill holes completed with assays pending and holes in progress. Tom Larsen, CEO of Eloro, said: “Results from hole DSB-36 continue to confirm that the high-grade feeder zone extends much further south-southeast across the valley of the Iska Iska caldera as interpreted from our geophysical surveys. This new hole has extended the strike length a further 400m to the south-southeast where it remains open along strike. We are continuing to aggressively drill this important target which has the potential to outline a significant open pittable resource.” Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo. Eloro’s Executive Vice President, Exploration commented: “We are continuing to carry out our 100m-spaced sectional drilling across the Iska Iska caldera valley. As shown in Figure 2, we have four holes in progress with four additional holes planned that collectively total 6,000m to complete our first-pass definition drill program. We expect that this drilling will be completed by the mid- to latter part of November. Currently, assays are outstanding for approximately 14,213m of drill core as shown in Table 2. Turnaround from our assay laboratories has however improved in recent weeks so we expect most of this backlog to be cleared up by the end of November. We are working closely with Micon International to build a robust model for the mineral resource estimation. GeologicAI is also completing development of comprehensive mineral maps calibrated by our new mineralogical data which will greatly aid the modelling process.” Santa Barbara High Grade Feeder Zone Extension Definition Drilling Hole DSB-36 was drilled to test the potential south-southeastern extension of the Santa Barbara High Grade Feeder Zone shown in Figure 1. This hole was collared approximately 400m south-southeast of the underground drill bay in the Santa Barbara adit and was drilled at an azimuth of 225° with a dip of -60°. This hole intersected many significant intersections including: Hole DSB-34 was drilled at an azimuth of 225° with a dip of -60° and was collared approximately 200m due south of the Santa Barbara adit to test the potential southwest limit of the high-grade feeder zone (Figure 1). This hole intersected several wide lower grade intersections in the upper part of the hole which are notable for their silver content in the absence of appreciable base metals. In the lower part of the hole, base metals are again present including tin and copper. Significant results are as follows: Figure 1 – Geological Plan Map showing Drilling in Santa Barbara Area with Holes referred to in this release highlighted.https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/b0a8faf8-2143-4455-b357-21e0a30ca404 Figure 2 – Plan map showing Completed and Planned Drill Holes to test the South-southeastern Extension of the High-Grade Feeder Zone at Santa Barbara. The surface projection of the High Conductivity Zone (from 200m below surface) and the 3D Magnetic Susceptibility Anomaly (from 500m below surface) are also shown for reference. For further discussion on our geophysical surveys, please refer to our press release of September 20, 2022.https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/f051fbfe-3deb-485f-b3fd-148637469b95 Table 1: Significant Results, Surface Diamond Drilling, Santa Barbara Resource Definition High Grade Feeder Zone Extension as at October 18, 2022. Note: True width of the mineralization is not known at the present time, but based on the current understanding of the relationship between drill orientation/inclination and the mineralization within the breccia pipes and the host rocks such as sandstones and dacites, it is estimated that true width ranges between 70% and 90% of the down hole interval length but this will be confirmed by further drilling and geological modelling. Chemical symbols: Ag= silver, Au = gold, Zn = zinc, Pb = lead, Cu = copper, Sn = tin, Bi = bismuth, Cd = cadmium and g Ag eq/t = grams silver equivalent per tonne. Quantities are given in percent (%) for Zn, Pb Cu, Sn, Bi and Cd and in grams per tonne (g/t) for Ag, Au and Ag eq. Metal prices and conversion factors used for calculation of g Ag eq/t (grams Ag per grams x metal ratio) are as follows: (Prices updated as of July 21, 2022, to more accurately reflect current metal prices): In calculating the intersections reported in this press release a sample cutoff of 30 g Ag eq/t was used with generally a maximum dilution of 3 continuous samples below cutoff included within a mineralized section unless more dilution is justified geologically. The equivalent grade calculations are based on the stated metal prices and are provided for comparative purposes only, due to the polymetallic nature of the deposit. Metallurgical tests are in progress by Blue Coast Ltd. to establish levels of recovery for each element reported but currently the potential recovery for each element has not yet been established. While there is no assurance that all or any of the reported concentrations of metals will be recoverable, Bolivia has a long history of successfully mining and processing similar polymetallic deposits which is well documented in the landmark volume “Yacimientos Metaliferos de Bolivia” by Dr. Osvaldo R. Arce Burgoa, P.Geo. Table 2: Summary of Diamond Drill Holes Completed with Assays Pending and Drill Holes in Progress at Iska Iska from October 18, 2022 press release. S = Surface UG=Underground; collar coordinates in metres; azimuth and dip in degrees. Total drilling completed since the start of the program on September 20, 2020 is 79,473.6m in 118 drill holes (32 underground drill holes and 86 surface drill holes) including 4 holes in progress. Qualified Person Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P. Geo., General Manager of Eloro’s Bolivian subsidiary, Minera Tupiza S.R.L., and a Qualified Person in the context of NI 43-101, has reviewed and approved the technical content of this news release. Dr. Bill Pearson, P.Geo., Executive Vice President Exploration Eloro, and who has more than 45 years of worldwide mining exploration experience, including extensive work in South America, manages the overall technical program, working closely with Dr. Osvaldo Arce, P.Geo. Dr. Quinton Hennigh, P.Geo., Senior Technical Advisor to Eloro and Independent Technical Advisor, Mr. Charley Murahwi P. Geo., FAusIMM of Micon are regularly consulted on technical aspects of the project. Eloro is utilizing both ALS and AHK for drill core analysis, both of whom are major international accredited laboratories. Drill samples sent to ALS are prepared in both ALS Bolivia Ltda’s preparation facility in Oruro, Bolivia and the preparation facility operated by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent to the main ALS Global laboratory in Lima for analysis. More recently Eloro has had ALS send pulps to their laboratory at Galway in Ireland. Eloro employs an industry standard QA/QC program with standards, blanks and duplicates inserted into each batch of samples analyzed with selected check samples sent to a separate accredited laboratory. Drill core samples sent to AHK Laboratories are prepared in a preparation facility installed and managed by AHK in Tupiza with pulps sent to the AHK laboratory in Lima, Peru. Au and Sn analysis on these samples is done by ALS Bolivia Ltda in Lima. Check samples between ALS and AHK are regularly done as a QA/QC check. AHK is following the same analytical protocols used as with ALS and with the same QA/QC protocols. Turnaround time continues to improve, as laboratories return to more normal staffing levels. About Iska Iska Iska Iska silver-tin polymetallic project is a road accessible, royalty-free property, wholly controlled by the Title Holder, Empresa Minera Villegas S.R.L. and is located 48 km north of Tupiza city, in the Sud Chichas Province of the Department of Potosi in southern Bolivia. Eloro has an option to earn a 99% interest in Iska Iska. Iska Iska is a major silver-tin polymetallic porphyry-epithermal complex associated with a Miocene possibly collapsed/resurgent caldera, emplaced on Ordovician age rocks with major breccia pipes, dacitic domes and hydrothermal breccias. The caldera is 1.6km by 1.8km in dimension with a vertical extent of at least 1km. Mineralization age is similar to Cerro Rico de Potosí and other major deposits such as San Vicente, Chorolque, Tasna and Tatasi located in the same geological trend. Eloro began underground diamond drilling from the Huayra Kasa underground workings at Iska Iska on September 13, 2020. On November 18, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of a significant breccia pipe with extensive silver polymetallic mineralization just east of the Huayra Kasa underground workings and a high-grade gold-bismuth zone in the underground workings. On November 24, 2020, Eloro announced the discovery of the SBBP approximately 150m southwest of the Huayra Kasa underground workings. Subsequently, on January 26, 2021, Eloro announced significant results from the first drilling at the SBBP including the discovery hole DHK-15 which returned 129.60 g Ag eq/t over 257.5m (29.53g Ag/t, 0.078g Au/t, 1.45%Zn, 0.59%Pb, 0.080%Cu, 0.056%Sn, 0.0022%In and 0.0064% Bi from 0.0m to 257.5m. Subsequent drilling has confirmed significant values of Ag-Sn polymetallic mineralization in the SBBP and the adjacent CBP. A substantive mineralized envelope which is open along strike and down-dip extends around both major breccia pipes. Continuous channel sampling of the Santa Barbara Adit located to the east of SBBP returned 442 g Ag eq/t (164.96 g Ag/t, 0.46%Sn, 3.46% Pb and 0.14% Cu) over 166m including 1,092 g Ag eq/t (446 g Ag/t, 9.03% Pb and 1.16% Sn) over 56.19m. The west end of the adit intersects the end of the SBBP. Since the initial discovery hole, Eloro has released a number of significant drill results in the SBBP and the surrounding mineralized envelope which along with geophysical data has defined an extensive target zone. In its September 20, 2022 press release, the Company reported that new downhole geophysical data has significantly extended the strike length of the high-grade feeder zone at Santa Barbara a further 250m along strike to the south-southeast from existing drilling. The 3D inverse magnetic model which correlates very strongly with the conductive zone suggests that the high-grade feeder zone may extend across the entire caldera for as much as a further 1 km along strike for a total potential strike length of at least 2 km. As reported, the definition drill program has been modified to sectionally drill this potential extension with the intention of defining a major open pittable deposit in the valley of the caldera. As a result, the estimated completion date for the maiden National Instrument 43-101 mineral resource has been pushed back to the end of Q1 2023. About Eloro Resources Ltd. Eloro is an exploration and mine development company with a portfolio of gold and base-metal properties in Bolivia, Peru and Quebec. Eloro has an option to acquire a 99% interest in the highly prospective Iska Iska Property, which can be classified as a polymetallic epithermal-porphyry complex, a significant mineral deposit type in the Potosi Department, in southern Bolivia.

The stock market can be an incredible way to build and sustain wealth, but it takes time, patience, and consistency to achieve rewarding returns that bear up through various market cycles. While larger investments may help grow your portfolio faster, you don't need lots of money to start building positions in the companies that interest you most. If you have $500 to put into the stock market right now — this should be money you won't soon need, not money better put toward bills or covering other financial obligations — here are two fantastic stocks to consider for a long-term, buy-and-hold investment.

SYLACAUGA, Ala. – On Thursday night, Nov. 10, the Recreation Master Plan survey results will be presented to the Sylacauga community in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
The survey results meeting will take place at 6:00 p.m. and anyone is welcome to attend. The city of Sylacauga is undertaking a Recreation Master Plan to explore new ways to improve the recreational experience and best manage the park and recreational facility assets in the community. As part of this process, every Sylacauga household was invited to complete an online survey to help the Sylacauga Parks and Rec department understand how the parks, facilities, and programs are currently used, and how to better meet residents’ needs moving forward. The city of Sylacauga retained Brailsford & Dunlavey, a nationally recognized municipal advisory consulting firm, to administer the survey. Chambless & King, an award-winning architecture firm notable for its master planning and building efforts displayed throughout the state, will be presenting an overview of the results as well as the proposed catalyst project.
In 1954, trumpet legend Dizzy Gillespie collaborated with Cuban percussionist Chico O’Farrill on Afro, a fantastic African-Cuban genre-hybrid jazz album that has long been out of print (though it had been subsequently reissued under a different title a few years following its initial release). Afro is an important album that delivered fresh interpretations of Dizzy’s pioneering 1940s work during the burgeoning, early days of true hi-fi’s 1950s emergence. And now, Afro has been reissued by the good folks at Vinyl Me Please (VMP), and the results are quite exhilarating overall. Now, I’ve been a fan of Dizzy Gillespie’s music for most of my life, as he was one of the first trumpet players I admired when I was still taking lessons on the instrument way back in junior high. While I never got very far with my own trumpet playing (I did a lot better learning guitar on my own, ultimately giving up the horn after high school), I still have a great appreciation for the instrument and the people who can do great things with it. Hands down, Dizzy Gillespie is one of the all-time trumpet masters. He’s also one of the driving forces who shaped jazz music as we know it today. Having been on the front lines for the creation of bebop, he was also an early progenitor of what later became known as Cuban, Afro-Cuban, or simply Latin jazz. (And from what I’ve read, Dizzy himself apparently called it “Cu-Bop” at times.) Let me put it this way — if you’re a fan of artists like Cal Tjader, Mongo Santamaria, Vince Guaraldi, and Stan Getz’s excursions into Brazilian music with Joao Gilberto, then you should be listening to Dizzy Gillespie’s Afro. If you enjoy soul jazz from the late 1960s on the Prestige and Blue Note labels, then you should be listening to Dizzy Gillespie’s Afro. if you dig the Latin grooves on labels like Tico and Fania Records, you really owe it to yourself to take a step back and listen to Dizzy Gillespie’s Afro, which was initially brought into the world in 1954 via producer Norman Granz and his pre-Verve Records label, Norgran Records. As we learn from the terrific liner notes on the VMP site, the roots of the Afro-Cuban influence on modern American music, including jazz, can be traced back to the likes of W.C. Handy at the turn of the 20th century, and later to the Mambo and cha-cha crazes of the 1930s and 1940s. Dizzy’s Afro is in some ways part of a trilogy of albums produced by Norman Granz exploring the then-emerging genre, the first being Machito’s Afro-Cuban Suite in 1950, with Charlie Parker, Chino Pozo, and Mario Bauzá. O’Farrill’s 2nd Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite, issued in 1954, was the series sequel, soon enough followed by the Dizzy Gillespie-driven Afro. The VMP Afro stats are these — it’s a 180g 1LP black vinyl release pressed at RTI, with its AAA lacquers cut from the original analog tapes by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. As an end-to-end listen, Afro is a smoker that sounds remarkably good for its age. This isn’t an RVG production, mind you, but producer Granz does an amiable job of capturing the sound of this orchestra in a group setting with a minimum of microphones used. (More on that in a moment.) And what a band Dizzy has assembled here, including — but not limited to — Lucky Thompson on saxophone, Quincy Jones on trumpet (in addition to Dizzy and some others), J.J. Johnson on trombone, and Charlie Persip on drums, plus Ramon “Mongo” Santamaria and Candido Camera on congas. And that is just part of the band on the “Suite” side. Afro has some bona-fide classics on it too, including excellent Cuban jazz interpretations of Dizzy’s own “A Night in Tunisia,” as well as Duke Ellington’s “Caravan.” This album includes the first appearance of Dizzy’s signature tune “Con Alma” (which is just a knockout gorgeous melody). One of the key components of Afro is the opening track, “Manteca,” as composed by percussionist Chano Poza along with Dizzy. The tune is considered one of the first Afro-Cuban jazz compositions to become a jazz standard. Actually, that whole first side of Afro is the centerpiece to the album, a variation and theme composed and arranged by O’Farrill, including “Contraste,” “Jungla,” and “Rhumba-Finale.” These days, it is easy to take hybrid music like this for granted, but it might have never happened had all these elements not come together as they did. From a video interview I found on YouTube with Dizzy explaining the genesis of “Manteca,” he states, “It was similar to a nuclear weapon when it burst on the scene. They’d never seen a marriage of Cuban music and American music like that before.” I first became familiar with this album in a roundabout way, finding an original pressing in the new arrivals bin at Amoeba Music about 6 months ago. I was stunned, because as a collector and fan, I had yet to see a copy of it before, anywhere. I was all the more extra-ecstatic about it, because this seemingly exotic album turned out to be in near-perfect condition with an absolutely beautiful cover, featuring artwork designed by the legendary David Stone Martin (DSM). The new VMP edition of Afro stands up very favorably to my original. Actually, the recording sounds very, very similar — and in some instances, even better. My original reference copy was so clean I could (and did!) easily play it nicely on my Music Hall MMF 7.1 turntable with Goldring cartridge. But there was some inevitable surface noise on it, for good reason — even though the album is very clean, the reality is that pre-1958 monaural microgroove recordings were cut with a wider groove than later “compatible” pressings made with stereo cutting lathes. When I played my original copy of Afro on my Esoteric Sound Ramses II transcription turntable using a Denon DL 102 mono cartridge with a wider-tipped stylus, the sound was much cleaner still. That sounded comparable to the new VMP edition — perhaps a bit better, though I admit that may also be my subconscious love for original pressings creeping into the equation. The point is, the new VMP pressing of Afro sounds pretty darn close to my original copy. And because it is a modern microgroove recording, you won’t have to worry about groove width, and all that. Also, finding an original copy in decent condition like mine is not going to be an easy task. At the time of this posting, there were four original copies of Afro available on Discogs maxing out at VG-plus condition, with prices ranging from just over $30 for a fair-condition original — albeit with skips and nearly complete seam splits — to $190 with top and bottom seam splits. Even the 1958 reissue on Verve with different cover art and the alternate Manteca title is going for around $90, so scoring a new VMP copy for its reasonable $39 SRP (which you can do right here) is a relative bargain. That said, please remember this recording was made on May 24, 1954, during one session in a single, open-studio type setting without much isolation or baffles between instruments. Check the studio photos on the back cover to see what I mean — there was one overhead microphone used for the percussion section, all of whom were sitting together in one area. Hence, do set your expectations accordingly. Don’t be expecting the more-sculpted sonics of later productions like Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue from 1959, for example. Afro is more raw, and a bit more ambient at times, yet it’s still direct and rollicking. This is a larger-band jazz experience, after all, so the session reminds me at times of that sort of free-flowing, party-on-the-bandstand feel that Charles Mingus captured on some of his landmark albums. Afro sounds fantastic — especially when you turn it up loud, with a pleasantly surprising amount of low-end bass response. About the only disappointment I had with this new VMP edition of Afro — and, frankly, the only reason I can comment on this is because of my now owning an original pressing — is the cover art looks like it was taken from a copy of an album as opposed to from the original art elements. Don’t get me wrong — it still looks really pretty and the artwork is indeed beautiful, but compared to my original, it’s a little bit blurry and diffused. You can see in the photo we’ve included here — how even the DSM signature looks blurrier on the new edition vs. the original. (A brief aside: as a fan of DSM’s artwork, I heard long ago when I first started actively collecting records with his illustrations on them — and I have many of his covers by artists I’m not really into, as I buy them just for the art — I was told some collectors consider original DSM pressing covers in good condition akin to having a first-run lithograph authorized by the artist. In this instance, I can totally appreciate that notion, for what it’s worth.) All that said, this new VMP edition of Afro was manufactured in a nice, glossy, laminated thick cardboard stock cover — so, technically, it is in some ways superior to the original. My feeling is, you should grab the new VMP edition of Dizzy Gillespie’s Afro while they’re still in stock, since it’s a limited-edition run. At the end of the day, the VMP Afro sounds real nice and quite close to an original pressing. It has period-accurate labels, and offers a good representation of the original cover art (which is much better than the 1958 Verve Records repackaging of this material, imo). And, again, it’s not easy finding original, clean, and non-split copies of this album anywhere, at a reasonable price. On this VMP AfroLP, you are going to hear some beautiful trumpet playing from the legendary Dizzy Gillespie, set in a Cuban jazz setting. Bottom line: This new VMP edition of Afro will be a cool, listening-worthy addition to your collection.

These reissues are ever so tempting. But factor in shipping and sales tax, and suddenly the privilege of listening to 45 minutes of music costs north of $50. If you buy as much as I do, you suddenly have to prioritize or take a break from purchasing. Still pondering buying this great album.

Excellent point re $$$, volvic. I struggle with that myself, as I am also a consummate box set obtainer as well, beyond the usual 1LP and 2LP options. Some of the higher modern pricing has to do with higher manufacturing costs for limited runs – or for any run, really, given the limited pressing plant options we currently face — and the usual supply chain issues. (And probably a “how far can we push it” profit motive too, to some degree.)
In a way, this reminds me of the conundrum I — and, I suspect, many of you — faced in my formative years, when I had maybe $10-$20 of LP-spending money in my pocket any given week. This was the money I had made mowing lawns in the neighborhood, with the main purpose being to have my own money in hand in order to buy new and used LPs on a regular basis. Each time I went to my fave record shop — Record Swap, in downtown Homewood, Illinois (now loooong gone) — I had to weigh which LP(s) I had to have at that moment, and which LP(s) I could wait a week or so to get, also hoping no one else would snatch it/them up in the interim. This, of course, led to sometimes strategically “hiding” said LPs in other slots/areas in the shop somewhat inconspicuously, as I bet y’all did too, no?
I got into vinyl in 1983, right after I compared a CD vs. LP recording of a Chung/Kondrashin violin concerto; the vinyl through the LP12 sang and not through the CD. I was committed to vinyl and didn’t buy my first CD until 1994. So I grew up in an era where sealed London, EMI, and DG recordings were being pawned off for $4.99 per record and, in most cases ¢0.99 cents at the second-hand stores, which were plentiful in my old hometown of Montreal. With my part-time job money, I scored huge amounts of vinyl being cleared to make way for CDs and continued buying through the 90s and early 2000s. By the early 2010’s I could still buy new sealed vinyl at Academy Records in NYC, my new home, for less than $12.99. But suddenly, in 2014-15, the prices increased, and it appears they haven’t stopped. I have been buying scores at a time, with box sets coming in with regular frequency. But in my case, buyer fatigue is creeping in, and suddenly, paying $50 isn’t so automatic anymore…..for now. I wonder how many others feel the same way.

Halo Infinite Halo Infinite understands that its absurdly long seasons are a bit of a drag, so here in the seemingly endless season 2, the game is launching a large Winter Update, not a fully new season, but something to tide players over. And most importantly, it comes with a big new feature for the game, the first fully live version of Forge mode, where players have already been making some wild creations in early tests, and many are hoping Forge alone could be enough to revive Infinite from here forward. Here is everything coming in Halo Infinite’s Winter Update today:
Halo Infinite
There are also some buffs and nerfs coming with the Winter Update patch to a few different weapons and tactics, that includes: Plasma Pistol
Pulse Carbine
VK78 Commando
BR75 Battle Rifle
Disruptor
Frag Grenade
It will likely take some time to determine how successful the Winter Update and Forge mode are in getting players to return to Infinite. Steam playercount has been desperately low for ages now, and on Xbox, Infinite is hovering around the 20th or so most played game on the console, and we will have to track how far this new update may get it to rise, which usually takes a few days to fully reflect a playercount surge in those rankings. All indications are that the Winter Update and specifically Forge mode look pretty great, so we’ll have to see if this is Infinite’s second (third?) wind or not.

Showbiz Cheat Sheet Binge-worthy entertainment news and celebrity interviews Much like their Twilight characters, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart had a love story. While not as epic as the one that Edward Cullen and Bella Swan shared, the pair were in a relationship for a number of years. And while they were fairly tight-lipped about their dating life, many fans of the actors were invested in their relationship and rooting for it. However, Summit Entertainment, the studio that produced all five Twilight movies, wasn’t thrilled about the relationship between the castmates. On her Twilight rewatch podcast, The Twilight Effect, Ashley Greene opened up about the romance brewing between Pattinson and Stewart. Considering Greene has a pretty substantial role in the series, she has a front-row seat to the romance brewing between her castmates. Fans of the films will recall that Greene portrayed Alice Cullen, Edward’s favorite (and most supportive) sister, in the series. According to Greene, the studio wasn’t in support of Pattinson and Stewart dating. “The studio advised against it,” Greene shared. “They saw how successful Twilight was, and the last thing they want is for the couple to get together and then hate each other and then the chemistry to be gone and that’s it. So I kind of get that. But at the same time, you’re put in these situations where it’s an epic love story, and it’s difficult not to catch feelings in those situations.” RELATED: ‘Twilight’: Why Robert Pattinson ‘Fought’ for Limited Screen Time in ‘New Moon’ Continuing on, Greene explained that Pattinson and Stewart falling for each other wasn’t too out of the ordinary. “They’re in these really intense situations, and as an actor, you find something about that person to fall in love with,” Greene explained. “So it kind of made sense. But they’re also great actors, so all day every day, they’re supposed to be in love and so it’s not like they had to hide much.” But the studio wasn’t the only entity that advised the actors against dating. Catherine Hardwicke, who directed Twilight, warned Pattinson off of Stewart after witnessing their chemistry in the pair’s initial audition. The director explained that Stewart (who was 17 to Pattinson’s 21 at the time) was too young to date. RELATED: ‘Twilight’: Robert Pattinson Wanted ‘To Strangle’ Kristen Stewart During This ‘Eclipse’ Scene “I remember I told Rob, separately, I went, ‘Listen, man, you gotta remember that she’s under 18, and in our country, you can get in trouble!” Hardwicke shared with PEOPLE about Pattinson and Stewart. “He went, ‘Okay, okay, jeez, calm down!’” But despite warnings from the studio and Twilight’s director, Pattinson and Stewart entered into a relationship anyway. In fact, Stewart has shared that there was nothing that she could’ve done to prevent herself from falling in love with Pattinson. Fortunately, for the studio, Stewart and Pattinson’s love affair didn’t stop the films from performing well.
The city announced its new director of film and media on Monday as well as a new music commissioner and production co-ordinator.
Donnie MacIntyre, with more than 15 years’ experience in the media, technology and telecommunications sectors in Canada and the United States, is the city’s new director of film and media. MacIntyre was last vice-president of distribution and business development for independent TV content producers Portfolio Entertainment.
The city’s inaugural film commissioner, Alex Jansen, left the Kingston Film Office earlier this year.
Moira Demorest was named the city’s new music commissioner. Demorest, one of the founders of promoters KPP Concerts and a musician herself, is to focus on fostering and promoting the city’s musical community.
Queen’s University alum Jillian Feathers, meanwhile, was named the production co-ordinator for the Kingston Film Office. She has worked on “Mayor of Kingstown,” “Titans,” “Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol” and the recent feature film “Angel Three,” all of which were shot at Kingston Penitentiary.
