![]() Among the chickens, goats, and creative-types, we found ourselves retracing the very steps Katniss took during her second reaping. (Who knew? J-Law got into a car wreck because she thought she saw Honey Boo Boo.) Our next destination would be The Goat Farm, known to many for its artists and galleries, but to us as District 12. Our guide kept us entertained between stops with stories of filming, Suzanne Collins’ inspiration for the series, and of Jennifer Lawrence being Jennifer Lawrence. We returned to the bus and continued traveling up Peachtree. One of President Snow’s (Donald Sutherland) prop white roses from filming. From behind a sleepy warehouse, we saw “The odds are never in our favor” written exactly as it was during Catching Fire. We continued southward, learning about the state of the movie industry in Georgia (spoiler alert, it’s still going strong), passing by the old Atlanta farmers’ market that stood in for District 11 during Catching Fire, and arriving at curious bit of ATL filming history-turned-street art hidden near Adair Park. The area had been used as a large basecamp, and our guide also quickly pointed out the abandoned Norfolk Southern building, which had a brief moment of fame when it was adorned with a large blue screen for M ockingjay Part I’s rappelling scenes. Our group departed from Atlanta Movie Tours’ Castleberry Hill office and immediately out the door, we were given our first bit of Hunger Games history courtesy of the nearby Gulch. We previewed the adventure recently and learned a little about Atlanta along the way. Atlanta Movie Tours is preparing to launch its newest offering, the Girl on Fire tour based on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Mockingjay Part I, on February 8.

In the movie adaptation of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, there’s a scene where the characters were stranded on a beach and wearing wetsuits. You can swim here or simply relax by the waterfall. It’s the waterfall where Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) discovered a briefcase. Waimea Falls is another prominent setting in the first season of Lost. Fans of Lost can even take tours tailored for visits to the show’s filming locations on the island. Survivor’s Beach, in particular, was the place where the crew shot the plane crash site scenes. Wanderer of the World traced the TV crew’s footsteps to the Oahu beaches. The majority of its scenes were shot in Oahu.

The aftermath has resulted in further growth for the franchise, and other titles tied to Jumanji have begun popping up. The movie did well due in large part to Johnson’s star appeal. ![]() Thanks to the movie’s performance at the box office, this area may become more popular with tourists. The scene where Dwayne Johnson and the rest of the cast are at the waterfall was shot in Papaikou, which is north of Hilo on the Big Island.

![]() Having Alex rescue Eliza is conforming to the tropes of romance novels. Doctor Cochran, Eliza’s uncle, is best known for inoculating the troops stationed in Morristown against smallpox. I do not think that these events happened since if they had, it probably would have come up in the letters that Hamilton wrote to Eliza during their engagement and marriage (her letters to him, unfortunately, have not survived) but are not out of the realm of possibility. They become reacquainted when she inoculates him against smallpox. The couple are reintroduced in Alex and Eliza when her carriage breaks down and he comes to her rescue. Hamilton’s letters show that he was smitten with Eliza, who he described as “unmercifully handsome,” and they were engaged within three weeks. The official reason for her visit was to aid her aunt and uncle (her uncle was surgeon-general to the Continental Army) but there was an unspoken assumption that she was there to find a husband among the Continental Army’s eligible officers. Hamilton and Schuyler met again three years later in February of 1780 when she came to visit the Continental Army headquarters in Morristown New Jersey, which I visited a year ago. ![]() A misunderstanding causes our hero and heroine to initially dislike each other. Alex is pranked by some of Eliza’s friends, who send him a note, supposedly from Eliza, saying that she will meet him in the barn at midnight. In Alex and Eliza, this makes Eliza dislike the young colonel, though he becomes smitten with her. Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler first met in 1777, when he was sent to relieve her father, General Philip Schuyler, of command after the Continental Army’s loss at Saratoga. We know when they met, when they started courting, when they got engaged, and when they got married but we don’t everything that went into getting from one of these steps to another.Īlex and Eliza is heavily influenced by Pride and Prejudice, mainly in how the dynamic between its two protagonists is set up. The courtship of Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler is an example of this. History itself often gives us only the bare bones of what happened and its the job of the author to provide the details. Historical fiction is by nature, speculative. Alex and Eliza is known as the fanfic/ romance novel version of this story, as opposed to more straightforward historical fiction works like The Hamilton Affair (which I did not care for) and I, Eliza Hamilton (which I haven’t read but probably won’t, lest it give me The Hamilton Affair PTSD), and is the least historically accurate of the three. In the wake of the smash-hit musical Hamilton, a number of novels have come out telling the love story of Alexander Hamilton and Eliza Schuyler. It’s very well written and the story is a page-turner. ![]() For starters, I very much enjoyed Alex and Eliza by Melissa de la Cruz. ![]() Let's support this cultural gem here in Lubbock, as it has supported our entertainment needs for over four decades.

Ten minutes later we launched again after stopping for the wee Lochy remembered he needed moments after we set off the first time. It was beguilingly warm, the lake and the fells blazed in saturated Instagram hues. We’d brought our own canoe, which accommodates three, but had spiced up the challenge by wrestling a six-month-old Border collie into a life jacket and coaxing her aboard. This, in essence, was the plan on a cloudless May morning when we shoved off from a stony beach on the western shore. You disembark, watchful for natives, and you explore every track, every cluster of trees, every cliff and lookout, every rocky corner, and then you plant your flag and declare the island yours forever. On reaching the small island huddled close to the southeastern shore of the lake, you find your way in among the rocks to the hidden harbour. Your craft may look like a canoe, a sit-on-top-kayak, an inflatable dinghy or (if you’re really going for authenticity) a sailing boat rented in Coniston, but you know that really, it is a pirate brig or a raft you have cobbled together from bits of shipwreck.

It’s also one of the tiniest, though it could hardly command a bigger place in his imagination. In Lochy’s view, the smaller and less inhabited the island the better, and the best of all islands is the first he remembers visiting. In this extract from The Voyage to Wild Cat Island, Amy-Jane Beer describes an ambitious canoe trip to the island made famous by Arthur Ransome’s Swallows and Amazons, that didn’t quite go to plan. ![]() He currently serves as the Executive Director of Zara Aina (a Malagasy phrase that means “share life”), a company he co-founded in 2012 with fellow Broadway actor, Lucas Caleb Rooney, to help children in developing countries expand their capacity for achievement through theatrical performance and storytelling.

The plane plunged into the sea in a controlled crash after completing its mission.īecause of its suborbital flight, the falcon's body is able to protect itself from extreme heat - up to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit - during high-speed flight at such high altitudes. This allows the Falcon's arrow design to literally "cut" into the upper atmosphere at unheard-of speeds, making it essentially a hypersonic glider, albeit at Mach 20. The vehicle is released from its missile "booster" system, achieves "self-control" and orientation, and then continues its dive back to Earth at a speed of 13,000 miles per hour (Mach 20, 20 times the speed of sound). The concept of the Falcon HTV-2 is fairly basic, involving the delivery of unmanned aircraft into subterranean orbit. HTV-2 is a research vehicle designed to collect flight data for post-mission processing. The HTV-2 will be a missile launch system that is basically unmanned and controlled from the ground in the same way as a modern UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) - without putting the pilot at risk. Still, DARPA continued to fund the construction of the original. Both proved concepts sound, although wind tunnel testing was limited to a Mach 15 environment and for a short period of time. Following the design phase, the HTV-2 was fabricated through computer simulations and wind tunnel testing to evaluate the effectiveness of such a system. military develop a delivery vehicle with the simple goal of reaching anywhere in the world in less than an hour.
