![]() Now that I'm also an executive producer, I really value it as part of my personal life as much as my professional life. "I never take for granted the privilege of being part of Silent Witness. The audience and I have been through a lot together. From day one, I've always said I'll stay as long as I enjoy it, and I still really enjoy it.

(Image credit: BBC) Who's in the cast?Īs well as Emilia Fox and Amanda Burton, David Caves returned as Jack Hodgson. It’s been a rocky series, but it looks like the BBC could be turning out Silent Witness for another 19 years to go, as it remains a favourite on our television screens. Overall, ‘River’s Edge’ is a much improved outing on ‘After the Fall’. I think Silent Witness could benefit greatly from a longer running story underneath the week-by-week case stories, and with its 20th series to air next year, this could be the time to do it. It’s perhaps good to show that Nikki and Jack can’t solve everything which comes their way, and maybe we haven’t seen the last of Schrader. It’s an interesting twist for the villainous mass-murderer and rapist, Erich Schrader (Dean Paul Gibson), to escape justice, smirking as he prepares to board a plane out of the country. The performance of Elen Rhys as a tragic young doctor Amy is good, but if I’m honest, I was confused as to why she didn’t turn to the police far sooner. However, my issue with the episode lies after this point, as the drama simply fizzles out. The drama, perhaps unusually, runs straight into a dramatic first ten minutes of the concluding episode, which leaves you with bated breath as Nikki and Jack run for their lives in woodland, pursued by a ruthless gunman. The realisation by regular pathologists Nikki (Emilia Fox) and Jack (David Caves) that they’ve been ‘looking through the wrong end of the microscope’ and have been looking at the case completely wrong is well performed by the two leads. It’s frustrating knowing that you are watching pointless arrests and police inquiry for a good chunk of the first half, but the episode delivers satisfying drama as it approaches its chilling cliffhanger. However, two minor details suggest that there is more to the case than meets the eye, as a medical student is forced to perform a secret operation at a high-flying London home, and an older detective links the case to one that escaped him ten years previously.Ī murder at the river’s edge kicks off a dramatic finale Sally Butcher (Sally Carmen), quickly jumps to conclusions in blaming a spurned ex-husband.

Although it still has its flaws, it equally has an intriguing plot, with more rounded guest characters and an interesting twist at its conclusion.Īs ever, it’s a story of two partS and each episode has a distinctly different feel. It’s been five weeks since I reviewed the show’s opening two-parter, which I described as ‘weak’ and ‘largely overcomplicated’, and I’m pleased to say that its finale, ‘River’s Edge’, is a different story.

![]() Sulfates are a large group of ingredients which act as cleansing agents in Cosmetics. Which Ingredients are classified as Paraben?Ī product will be paraben-free if it does not contain any of the following parabens: If not, don't worry about it - they do have had one of the longest safety records as preservatives! If you are concerned about the health safety of parabens, then feel free to avoid them by looking out for the Paraben-Free icon. ![]() There's still a lot of support for avoiding parabens following the better safe than sorry route. However, the majority of the scientific community have deemed these findings non-conclusive due to the limitations of these studies. There has been some healthy controversy surrounding them due to a few studies finding paraben presence in breast tumours and breast tissue. There aren’t many unique colours in there but it’s a nice set to play around with.Parabens are a large group of preservatives which are used to prevent bacteria growing in cosmetic formulations. If you’re into completing your collection, then I definitely think it’s a must! But as an everyday/useable palette, I definitely prefer the chocolate bar palette a lot more! It’s a nice palette with some standouts. To make the shadows stand out, I had to use a light based primer and pat the shadows on, having to dip into the palette several times. When applying, my brush kicked up quite a bit of shadow and there was some fall out – especially with the matte shades. L-R: Bless Her Heart, Tempting, Charmed I’m Sure, Bellini, Peach Pit, Delectable, Puree, Summer Yum & Talk Derby To Me. They required a primer to hold onto their colour. Unfortunately some of the matte shades were patchy and not opaque. The green and purples were unexpected additions to the palette. The right side contains all the darker shades. L-R: White Peach, Luscious, Just Peachy, Nectar, Cobbler, Candied Peach, Peaches N’ Cream, Georgia & Caramelized. Although, I have seen it swatched on others and seemed to be fine? You can definitely get some colour if you rub at it! I was severely disappointed by Candied Peach which was meant to be a bright pastel pink with specks of glitter. The best shade from this side would have to be Luscious which is a shimmery orange-pink which reminds me of MAC’s Tan eyeshadow. They are not as opaque and take some work to show up on my darker skin. The shadows are not as good as the Chocolate Bar palette. The left side of the palette contains soft neutral, pink tones. ![]() Of course it’s better to have a wider range in a palette but if I were to look at the palette without knowing the theme, I would never guess peaches! I expected it to contain a lot more warm, orange shades than it actually does. The colour range of this palette was a bit of a surprise to me. I do prefer this as the base shades have always been unused as they were too light. Unlike the Chocolate Bar palette, you get 18 shades and not 16. The smell is quite strong when you open the palette but you can’t smell it when shadows are applied. I accidentally licked my finger after doing swatches and it tastes sweet! (I don’t recommend licking your palette though.) Not so much the natural, fruity scent as it is the candy peach heart lollies. For someone like me, with glasses, I have to hold the mirror quite close to my face and now, even closer.Īs promised, the palette smells like peaches. It does contain a mirror but is annoyingly half covered by the name “Sweet Peach”. The palette is made from the same sturdy metal casing which is great for travelling. The packaging takes its cue from the Chocolate Bar palette series but instead of the chocolate pieces embossed, it has peaches. After falling in love with the Chocolate Bar palette, I had high hopes for the Sweet Peach palette but was kind of disappointed. Too Faced are known for their limited edition, quirky palettes and this one ticks that box. There have been many mixed reviews floating around in regards to this palette. Regardless, I got my hands on a palette after a lot of work and issues with Mecca postage too. This was a slap in the face for those of us who had waited up all night, lined up outside stores and involved ourselves in te chaos of the launch. Also, although it was limited edition, it took a few days to sell-out. Mecca announced that it would be released in the morning without providing a proper time and then announced the next morning that there was a glitch and it didn’t go up in the site as planned. If you’re in Australia, you’ll know that the release was a joke. So today I’ll be giving you my honest opinion on the highly sought after Too Faced Sweet Peach palette which may or may not make you feel better if you missed out!

When the season 5 trailer dropped on September 29, 2022, it was shocking to say the least. What's happened in Yellowstone season 5 so far? (Spoilers ahead) You know who's not in season 5? Matthew McConaughey, though he might be joining the Yellowstone universe in a future sequel. Some of her songs also appear on the Yellowstone soundtrack from seasons 2 and 3. Avid fans will also remember that Paramount Network invited her to give a special acoustic performance that aired on commercial breaks during the season 4 finale. Two other cast members- Jen Landon (seasons three and four) and Kathryn Kelly (season four)-also returned with their status upgraded to series regulars.Ĭountry singer Lainey Wilson joined the cast in season 5. Whatever the reason for the delay, Yellowstone fans can now breathe a sigh of relief knowing that the remaining episodes are on the way.Īll of your favorites returned for Yellowstone season 5, including stars Kevin Costner (who picked up a Golden Globe for his performance on the series in 2023), Luke Grimes, Kelly Reilly, Wes Bentley, Cole Hauser, Kelsey Asbille, Brecken Merrill, Jefferson White, Forrie Smith, Denim Richards, Ian Bohen, Finn Little, and Gil Birmingham.Īlso on the list: On-screen ranch hands Ryan Bingham and Hassie Harrison, who caused a stir in April when they went Instagram official as a couple in real life. Others speculated that contract issues with the star stalled filming, while Paramount maintained there was no news to report and Costner’s lawyer Marty Singer denied claims that the actor was only willing to work one week on the remaining episodes. One “highly placed” Hollywood source reportedly told New York Post that Sheridan had not finished scripts in January when Costner was available for filming. Originally, the remainder of Yellowstone season 5 was scheduled to return this summer however, filming was delayed, and rumors ran wild about why. The series is somewhat unique in that creator and director Taylor Sheridan also writes the episodes, reports The Atlantic, as he does for some of his other series, including 1923, Mayor of Kingstown, and “possibly” the upcoming 6666. ![]() And, the even bigger news: It will be the last season. On May 5, Paramount announced that the second half of Yellowstone season 5 will debut in November 2023. However, good news for Yellowstone fans, it appears the strike will not delay the series. Scriptwriters, who are part of the Writers Guild of America, officially went on strike on May 2, 2023, and no one can predict when it will end (if the strike of 2007 is any indicator, it could be months). ![]() Will the Hollywood writers strike affect Yellowstone season 5?

These winds tend to be more short-lived and affect a smaller area than the spring’s frontal winds. 30, strong winds are more often associated with localized afternoon thunderstorms than regional cold fronts. In this season, which began June 15 and runs through Sept. “If I knew nothing about the weather forecast, and saw that my colleagues were forecasting a high of 108 on a Thursday and a high of 92 on Sunday, I’d think we must be having wind somewhere in there.”Īs the summer progresses, cold fronts become weaker as the southwest settles into its monsoon season and a more consistent high-pressure air mass settles over the region. The temperature in the Vegas area fell from a high of 106 degrees on June 16 to 88 degrees on June 19 as the front moved in.īoucher said the temperature drop associated with a cold front is almost always associated with wind in the valley. The spring is a transitional time when the jet stream begins moving northward, causing disturbances in atmospheric air that lead to the frequent windy cold fronts we see in the spring.Īt the same time, longer days and more sunlight cause surface air temperatures to increase, creating more turbulent air.Ī silver lining to these cold fronts - like the one this past weekend - is a relief from the heat. March, April and May are generally the windiest months of the year for the region, according to Boucher.Ī lot of that boils down to the changing seasons. “At 40 mph,” Boucher said, “that will pretty efficiently move your trash cans and things on your porch that aren’t secured.” Winds in the 30 to 39 mph range can cause whole trees to sway and make walking inconvenient.Ĭombined with the heat, residents may feel like they’re living in a sandy, sweltering air fryer whenever a windy day rolls around. ![]() They issue wind advisories when they expect wind gusts above 40 mph or sustained wind speeds of 30 to 39 mph for at least three hours. High wind warnings are issued for the Las Vegas Valley when meteorologists expect sustained winds of 40-plus mph or gusts above 58 mph. Likewise, there have been two high wind warnings issued for the valley in 2022 - the average number from 2018 through 2021 is 1.25 by June 7. By comparison, from 2018 through 2021, the NWS issued an average of eight wind advisories for the Las Vegas Valley in that time. Twelve wind advisories have been issued from Jan. For example, when the wind comes from the north and down through the Colorado River Valley, towns like Laughlin may be the windiest. Wind direction also determines the gustiest areas of Clark County on a given day. Wind gusts in the area frequently top 50 mph, fast enough to damage powerlines and break tree branches. ![]() “I would say Red Rock Canyon is one of the prime examples of the windiest places we have in the county,” Boucher said. Wind gusts up to 45 mph were recorded near Kyle Canyon in the Spring Mountains last Saturday. Areas closest to the mountainside experience the brunt of these winds before they encounter too many buildings, trees and other sources of friction that can cause them to slow down. Under certain conditions, dry air coming over the top of the mountains can quickly pick up speed as it moves down the other side. ![]() “We issue quite a bit more wind products than any other product.”Īreas like Summerlin and Red Rock Canyon on the west side of the valley are some of the most prone to windy conditions due to their proximity to the Spring Mountains. Meteorologist Trevor Boucher said wind is usually the “most common concern” we have here in the Las Vegas area, more common even than heat advisories. The NWS has issued 27 red flag warnings so far this year, up from 17 in 2021. On June 12, winds gusting to 67 mph hit the Las Vegas Valley and downed a stoplight.įire danger has also increased. Daily maximum wind gusts averaged 31 mph - 3.3 mph higher than the 18-year average - and there were four times the number of days with gusts over 50 mph. Wind gusts between March and May, however, stood out. Maybe it’s a gust knocking down an unsuspecting pedestrian, a set of patio furniture ending up in a neighbor’s yard or dust covering your car.īut an analysis of National Weather Service data shows it was surprisingly only a little breezier than the normal spring with the average wind speed between March and May on par with the past 18 years.

It provides such a great, warm, clean sound, I use pedals for dirt, can't recommend the Vox Pathfinder 15r enough! A single 8, 8 ohm speaker of Oriental origin sported a Vox Bulldog sticker (Figure 2). Throw in a headphone jack, a line out, an external speaker jack and a foot switch for the tremolo and boost, well this is a great amp not just for home, but also goes surprisingly loud and sounds huge thru a 2x12 cab. So in this scenario I'm not actually using the tremolo and reverb from the amps, but I gotta say the Pathfinder tremolo is fantastic, and there's actually a real spring reverb in there as well! The reverb isn't terribly strong but sounds good. Now I use the Flint to separate the signal from my guitar to the two Pathfinders. I bought a Flint for the front, dime the vol and tone on the amp and what a sound! But that was when I was living in a proper house, even the 5w Valco is too loud for this flat when it sounds it's best. I use to own the non-reverb Pathfinder 15 which also had the Blue Speaker but I now own a 15R which has a Gold Speaker. I still have (and love) a mid sixties Airline 62-9032, about 5w, kinda Valco's version of a Champ (5圓, 12ax7, 6v6) which sounds great.
