Don’t Make Me Laugh balances anger and humour with the deftest of touches.
It is a story about power and control and manipulation, about gendered roles in both the workplace and our personal lives, and about how women are set up in competition with each other.
And ultimately – satisfyingly – it’s a story about fighting back.
Adrian Raeside has created a magical tale of adventure for pet
lovers of all ages in "The Rainbow Bridge." Using his gift for
creating spunky characters, Raeside has created a valuable fable
for anyone who cherishes the companionship of a family pet.
Seven-year-old Rick and his beloved dog Koko are inseparable.
They cavort in the swimming hole, chase each other through the
fields, play fetch and wrestle. But their relationship changes as
Koko grows old and his health declines.
With Koko's passing, Rick is devastated. But then one night, he
is woken by Buster, a flatulent but well-intentioned messenger dog,
who suddenly appears at the boy's bedside. Buster ferries Rick to a
magical paradise for pets where Rick is reunited with Koko; it
fills Rick's heart with joy. It's a place where cats burrow through
fields of catnip, no couch is off-limits to dogs and frisbees are
flung endlessly. This mysterious adventure is truly a holiday
miracle
Adrian Raeside captures the special bond between humans and

Thousands of shows have opened on Broadway. Why do we remember some
and not others? The musical theatre repertory is not composed of
titles popular in the theatre but by those with successful cast
recordings, movie versions, or even illegal bootlegs on YouTube.
The shows audiences know, and the texts and music they expect to
hear when they attend a production, are defined by media consumed
at home more than by memories of performances witnessed in the
theatre. For example, author Doug Reside shows that it is no
accident that the serious book musical with a fixed score developed
in the 1940s - when commercially pressed and marketed record albums
made it possible to record most of the score of a new musical in a
fixed medium. And Hamilton, a musical with dense lyrics and
revolutionary musical style, would not have been as easily
accessible to world audiences if most hadn't already had the
opportunity to learn the score by listening to free digital streams
of the original cast recording. The technologies that made these
media possible developed concurrently with and shaped the American
musical as an art form. Reside uncovers how the affordances and
limitations of these technologies established a repertory of titles
that are most frequently performed and defined by the texts used in
these performances. Fixing the Musical argues that the musicals we
most remember are those which most effectively used their era's
best recording and distribution technologies to document and share
the work with those who would never see the original production on
Broadway.

Dogs are tops--35 percent of Canadian households include at least
one canine--and anyone who's been owned by one (yes, that's right)
will tell you why: we share in each other's joy and pain; they
cheer us up when we're blue; they strive to please us and are
indispensable workers, serving us even at their peril; we pamper
and play with them, train them and take them for walks (actually,
they take us); they sleep in our beds; sit on our laps; and if we
let them they will follow us to the ends of the earth. But do we
really know what they think?
This collection is for anyone who has ever wondered what
constitutes "dog breath" to a dog, the real reason why dogs hate
doggie coats, or why they replaced woolly mammoths as man's best
friend. The answer to the last question is that dogs shed
"slightly" less. But for other profound, hilarious and sometimes
poignant observations, like why dogs shouldn't open restaurants, or
what would happen if a dog actually caught a car, readers need look
no further than "Tails Don't Lie"--the best of Adrian Raeside's dog
cartoons.
Jnaneshwari is a commentary on the Bhagavad Gita completed in 1290
C.E. by the poet-saint Jnaneshwar. Swami Kripananda has simply put
the Jnaneshwari into the contemporary English idiom in rather the
same way that Robert Bly put Tagore's translation of Kabir into
contemporary language.
