“LA is LA,” McCoil told Sporting News. “I feel like it’s a dream place to visit. I think everybody should come visit, just to see how it is. I’ve just happened to had the opportunity to live there twice. It’s a blessing.” McCoil’s two-time path to Los Angeles is a winding one that has stretched across four time zones, three different professional leagues and two countries. McCoil parlayed a successful stint with the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL into a shot with the Chargers, but it took thousands of miles in the car to get there after his college career at Tulsa ended....

Hourly Rates In general, charging an hourly rate is best for work that’s considered an update, such as changes to a website after launch or revisions to an existing print design for additional uses. It also can be the right choice for a small project, especially for one that’s particularly difficult to estimate. Flat Rates Charging a flat rate is common for large design projects, and for repeating projects for which the designer can accurately estimate the hours....

Heath was bursting with creativity. It was in his every gesture. He once told me that he liked to wait between jobs until he was creatively hungry. Until he needed it again. He brought that attitude to our set every day. There aren’t many actors who can make you feel ashamed of how often you complain about doing the best job in the world. Heath was one of them....

Turning Point Academy, which will start with the private Dream City Christian School in Glendale, Arizona, will expand into additional locations. Its curriculum and school culture is based on what founder and Executive Director Charlie Kirk called “bedrock principles”—to never waver from the truth, to teach self-government and liberty and to honor “God’s promise that all are created equal.” Woke ideology, including critical race theory (CRT) and what TPUSA referred to as “radical LGBT agendas” and “anti-American ideas such as the 1619 Project,” will not be allowed....

WRETCHED ROTHERHAM’S FATE SEALED Rotherham have picked up a solitary point on their travels this season, but a return to home surrounds could not help them beat the drop. A positive start, in which David Button denied Lee Frecklington, soon faded and the Cottagers struck the crucial blow midway through the second half as Sone Aluko bundled home a scrappy effort....

Stockard Channing? Great name, but how did she become a great presence? “I worked my butt off,” is her concise explanation. How did a Park Avenue debutante with a Radcliffe education, a trust fund and a moneyed husband come to work her butt off? The trust fund has long since dwindled away. The husband, Walter Channing, supplied her name (originally Susan Stockard) and has been succeeded by three other spouses....

Elden Ring follows the story of the Tarnished, exiles of the realm known as the Land Between, who are summoned to search for the Great Runes, scattered shards of an ancient relic known as the Elden Ring, which held power over the land.

Martin, the author of A Song of Ice and Fire, who has since praised the game and how FromSoft was able to translate his work into the final product....
