She's successfully run her own dog training business for years, perfectly content with her beloved rescue pitbull as the main man in her life. She's given everything to her business, and her lack of social life (or slobber-free clothes) has been completely worth it. But all that changes when she meets Charlie Gill, the hottest client she's ever had. The only problem? Charlie's taken. Luckily, Cora has a new friend -- the sweet, lovably geeky Eli Crawford. More loyal than a retriever, he's always there to help Cora with her problems, including her love life. That's why she's shocked to realize that even as things start heating up with Charlie, there might just be a more-than-friends spark between her and Eli, too. As Cora's life gets more tangled up than a dogwalker's leashes-and as she prepares to audition for a dog-training TV show that may irrevocably change her entire life-she has to figure things out before it all goes straight to the dogs. Charming, witty, and warm-hearted, Life on the Leash inspires you to cheer for every underdog looking for love.

Linc had always been the unsettled Callahan, looking for danger, the one who couldn't wait to leave the family farm. This time he was back for his little sister, Hadley's, wedding. From far and wide, the Callahan relatives were streaming toward Stringybark Creek. Linc's little brother, Griffin, was the steady son, the one who stayed at home, the one who did the right things. And now, the one who had feelings for city-girl, Cash Sullivan. For Cash, the offer to manage her best friend's luxury beauty spa tucked away in the country had come at the right time. She knew she needed to make smarter choices in her life, starting with the men she dated, and an enforced break in the Price: AU $29.99 NZ $32.99 country seemed the right way to consider her options.

Sound film is conquering the big screen, leaving many by the wayside: producers, cinema owners - and silent film stars. Investigating the violent on-set death of actress Betty Winter, Inspector Gereon Rath encounters the dark side of glamour and an industry in turmoil. When his father requests that he help his friend, the mayor of Cologne, Konrad Adenauer, and his ex-girlfriend Charly makes a renewed attempt at rapprochement, things start to get out of hand. Trapped in the machinations of rival film producers, he roams Berlin's Chinese quarter and the city's underworld as he works ever closer to the edge of legality. Meanwhile the funeral of the murdered Horst Wessel leads to clashes between Nazis and Communists. About the Author Volker Kutscher was born in 1962. He studied German, Philosophy and History, and worked as a newspaper editor prior to writing his first detective novel. Babylon Berlin, the start of an award-winning series of novels to feature Gereon Rath and his exploits in late Weimar Republic Berlin, was an instant hit in Germany. Since then, a further four titles have appeared, most recently Marzgefallene in 2014. The series was awarded the Berlin Krimi-Fuchs Crime Writers Prize in 2011 and has sold over one million copies worldwide. Volker Kutscher works as a full-time author and lives in Cologne.

  • Guide to Marinades
    #95 - Guide to Marinades Hi there! You’re listening to the Lazy Genius Podcast. I’m Kendra, and I’m here to help you be a genius about the things that matter and lazy about the things that don’t. You’re listening to episode 95 - The Lazy Genius Guide to Marinades. I’m pretty sure when I started this podcast almost three years ago, I didn’t anticipate some of the topics we’d dive into for an entire episode… like marinades. It’s pretty fantastic, and I’m here for it. But whenever I do any kind of InstaStory that involves a marinade of any kind, you guys ask all kinds of questions and understandably. Using them seems like this perfectly natural skill in cooking, but it also seems really random, especially if you haven’t been taught how to use them. So that’s what we’re going to do today! But before we jump into the ins and outs of marinades, I want to say thank you. Last week was a big week for me on Instagram. If you’re not on Instagram, you can check my SorryWUT highlight to see exactly what happened, but essentially within a few hours of each other, an interview I did with The Kitchn was on their main site and Jenna Fischer, aka Pam from The Office, talked about this very podcast on her Instagram stories. You guys. It was quite a day, and I’m still recovering a little. But the coolest thing wasn’t being on my favorite food website or being mentioned by one of my favorite celebrities.

  • On the Backburner: an Analysis of Documentary
    ON THE BACKBURNER: AN ANALYSIS OF DOCUMENTARY STYLES THROUGH AN ANTHOLOGICAL CULINARY DOCUSERIES A CREATIVE PROJECT SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ART BY ASHLEY MULLEN MR. CHRIS FLOOK - ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA MAY 2020 2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION With the arrival of streaming content platforms, such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, an increasingly significant number of new fictional and non-fictional programs are being offered to audiences. Within this novel abundance of content, audiences can find many new documentaries (as well as “docuseries”). The increase in documentaries as a percentage of all new content on streaming platforms is a response to the documentary’s popularity among the average viewer (HotDocs, 2018). For instance, some of the most popular documentaries series recently debuting on streaming services include Making A Murderer (Ricciardi, Demos, Nishimura, & Deo, 2015), Blackfish (Cowperthwaite & Oteyza, 2013), Fyre (Smith, Purzycki, & Gabai, 2019), Explained (Klein, Rozansky, Mumm, Nishimura. Posner, Spingarn-Koff, & Townsend, 2018), and Tiger King: Murder, Mayhen and Madness (Chaiklin, Goode, Smith, & Stevens, 2020). These are only a few in the ever-increasing list of popular documentaries and docuseries appearing on streaming services. Among these popular films and series are several culinary documentaries, including Chef’s Table (Gelb, Fried, McGinn, & Weaver, 2016), Salt Fat Acid Heat (Cotner, Gibney, Lawrence, Nishimura, Nosrat, Offman, Suh, & Biraghi, 2018), and Ugly Delicious (Cotner & Del Deo, 2018). The interest in culinary docuseries has been substantial, so much so that in July of 2019, Netflix debuted its very own “Netflix Food” category and corresponding Twitter account (@NetflixFood), which advertises the streaming platform’s food programs.

  • MA2 Draft V5 Final Submission Clean
    Salt. Fat. Acid. Heat. Media. An Analysis of Food Media Practices in Switzerland Nila Chea Media and Communication Studies Two-Year Master, 15 credits Spring 2020 Examiner: Michael Krona Supervisor: Pille Pruulmann Vengerfeldt Word count: 17’408 Grade: A Abstract According to Samin Nosrat’s (2017) best-selling cookbook, salt, fat, acid and heat are key to cooking good food. At the same time, the process of making food has never been more connected with media. Given how intertwined food and media are today, I also add media to the list of ingredients. Food has become a popular topic in traditional media, as well as on new digital platforms. Since there is already a large body of research on food media texts, this thesis concentrates on food media related practices in the everyday life and the convergence between traditional and digital food media. For this study, a mixed-method approach was chosen, which included a questionnaire and a subsequent in-depth interview for the participants. The qualitative analysis of the data builds on a theoretical framework which draws first and foremost on Couldry’s (2004) Practice Theory which is complemented by Foth & Hearn’s (2007) Communication Ecology Theory to organize the practices. The food media practices of the study participants illustrated how embedded media have become in everyday practices and explained the convergence between traditional and digital food media. At the same time, the results brought media power dynamics to light and demonstrated that even media, that seems innocent at first, has to be consumed with a critical eye. Keywords: food media, practice theory, communication ecology theory, everyday life, media power 2 Table of Contents Abstract ...................................................................................................................................................................
