🚨Riverdale & Nancy Drew Premiere and Series Finale Dates🚨

Riverdale’s 7th and final season will premiere Wednesday, March 29 at 9pm ET.

Nancy Drew’s 4th and final season will premiere Wednesday, May 31 at 8pm ET.

Both shows will air their series finales on Wednesday, August 23.

RIVERDALE SEASON 7 SYNOPSIS:

The seventh season of RIVERDALE goes where no season of RIVERDALE has dared to go before—the 1950s! Picking up where last season ended, Jughead Jones (Cole Sprouse) finds himself trapped in the 1950s. He has no idea how he got there, nor how to get back to the present. His friends are no help, as they are living seemingly authentic lives, similar to their classic Archie Comics counterparts, unaware that they’ve ever been anywhere but the 1950’s. Archie Andrews (KJ Apa) is the classic all-American teen, coming of age, getting into trouble, and learning life-lessons; Betty Cooper (Lili Reinhart) is the girl next door, starting to question everything about her perfect life—including her controlling mother Alice (Madchen Amick); Veronica Lodge (Camila Mendes) is a Hollywood starlet who moved to Riverdale under mysterious circumstances; Cheryl Blossom (Madelaine Petsch) is the Queen Bee with a withering wit and a secret longing; Toni Topaz (Vanessa Morgan) is an activist fighting for the Black students of recently integrated Riverdale High; Kevin Keller (Casey Cott) is a “square” crooner wrestling with his sexual identity; Reggie Mantle (Charles Melton) is a basketball star from farm country; and Fangs Fogarty (Drew Ray Tanner) is a greaser who’s destined to be an Elvis-type star. It isn’t until Jughead is visited by Tabitha Tate (Erinn Westbrook)—Riverdale’s Guardian Angel—that he learns the cosmic truth about their predicament. Will Jughead and the gang be able to return to the present? Or will our characters be trapped in the 1950’s forever? And, if so…is that such a bad thing?

NANCY DREW SEASON 4 SYNOPSIS:

Season four of NANCY DREW begins as Nancy launches a new investigation to find a group of missing bodies from Horseshoe Bay’s cemetery that have been dug up and stolen—or have possibly risen. As Nancy is drawn into this ghostly case, a string of unexplained paranormal crimes leads the Drew Crew to believe that the literal sins of the town’s past have returned to haunt the living. Meanwhile, Nancy struggles with yearning for Ace, the man she loves. But when a slow-burning attraction begins between Nancy and the son of Ryan Hudson’s newest enemy, Nancy must decide whether this love interest is worth the ire of both her father and Ace—whose own heart may also be tempted by a new relationship. Nancy’s exploits this season will bring the Drew Crew numerous standalone cases, stunning twists, humor, and unexpected romances as they are drawn into a season-long mystery unlike any they have had to solve before. When Nancy’s efforts to protect her seaside hometown from the sins of its past backfire, she must do the unthinkable to save her friends from both the supernatural and earthbound threats coming for them—and it could cost her everything, and everyone, she’s ever loved.

•TV show: "Criminal minds".

•Content warnings: Mentions of cirrhosis of the liver and hemorrhages, a doctor being disbarred because he caused eight of his patients to die in childbirth, the institute those patients lived in covering up that situation, the fact that that doctor was an alcoholic too and a girl getting pregnant at 17 and being abandoned by her boyfriend, then raising her son as a single mom.

•I was the one who decided for Sister Margaret's last name to be Collins and for her to be 77 years old in 2005. Neither of these things was ever said in "The goodbye room".

•I changed the number of girls who died from six to eight and Doctor Finnegan's year of death from 1975 to 1979 to make the story more believable in the first case and to follow the eleven-years age up between Jennifer's passing and the doctor's one that there was in "The goodbye room" in the second one.

•Yes, I obviously know Spencer is a genius, but here I put that there's something he didn't know, simply because it's normal. No one can know everything, not even him.

•Yes, I know things like the one that happened to Emily in this story (I'm not counting JJ in this because she died so soon after her baby's birth) still happened in the 1970s, but people's mentality was definitely a bit different than the ones they had in the 1960s.

•Some of the lines are almost the same that are in a scene of the "Cold case" episode this story is inspired by. I did modify them a bit, though. I didn't just copy and paste them.

Between their two hearts

Chapter 9: A new baby and a new witness

Had it been up to them, Jacqueline and Scarlett would have immediately started looking for Doctor Finnegan to ask him about Jennifer, but life chose for things to go differently that time.

That's because in the morning of August 7, Jacqueline went into labor and that evening her first baby, a boy she and her husband named Hudson, came into this world.

Three days later, Spencer went to visit his daughter and grandson and in order to see her best friend and meet her baby, Scarlett accompanied him.

Melissa was away with her son, since it was her turn to go on vacation with Tyler, so she would have met Hudson upon her return home.

So, just like his daughter had done a few days prior, Spencer took advantage of the woman's absence to ask about the case, on which Scarlett and Jacqueline had continued to keep him and Aaron updated.

"So, have you managed to find Finnegan by now?" he questioned a little over half an hour after he had arrived at Jacqueline's house, after having seen and held his grandson for the first time, moved as any grandfather would have been in that kind of situation.

"More or less" Scarlett replied with a sigh "That butcher died of cirrhosis of the liver in 1979".

"Oh. Was he an alcoholic?" Spencer asked.

"Yes" his daughter's friend confirmed "Eight girls died of hemorrhages during childbirth because of him between '61 and '68, and then he was finally disbarred".

"Did eight deaths really have to happen before they decided to do that?" Jacqueline exclaimed, shocked by what her friend had just told her.

"Unfortunately, that's how things were done back then. I'm happy Jackson's mom was a single mother in the mid-Seventies, not in the Sixties" Scarlett said referring to Cheryl, her husband's mother, who just like Jennifer, had gotten pregnant at 17 and been left alone by her boyfriend, but had had the support of her family in that situation and had been able to keep and raise her son.

"Who was the director of Saint Bridget's in 1968?" Jacqueline then asked her, gently rocking Hudson as she spoke.

"Sister Margaret Collins" Scarlett replied "Now she is 77 years old and spending her retirement in a religious community near New York City".

"I didn't know nuns retired too" Spencer responded, clearly surprised.

"Me neither" his daughter's friend told him "She's the only one who can tell us what happened at Saint Bridget's, though".

"And she's also one of the people who had the most reasons not to talk about it at that time" Jacqueline added, and at that moment, even though a part of her wished she could have stayed home with her baby forever, she hoped to get better as soon as possible to go with Scarlett to talk to that woman.

Unlike her friend, after all, she had firmly believed from the beginning that the solution to that case could have only been found thanks to the people who used to work at Saint Bridget's.

Ziegfeld and His Follies: A Guest Book Review By Cheryl Rice

So much for labor saving! One of the happy benefits of having written a popular book (and now a popular blog) is that I have accrued pen pals all over this great land of ours. Hudson Valley Poet Cheryl Rice has been among the most valued for many a long year now. She suggested a review of this book and I lobbed the task back to her….and of course what do I want to do after reading the review?…

"More than 130 people, including Gloria Steinem, and organizations in the field of women’s rights advocacy and domestic violence and sexual assault awareness have signed an open letter to support Amber Heard, who lost a defamation suit this year brought by her ex-husband, Johnny Depp, for an op-ed in which she said she was a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”

The letter, which was exclusively shared with NBC News ahead of its public release Wednesday, was signed by groups like the National Organization for Women, the National Women’s Law Center, Equality Now and the Women’s March Foundation.

GALTx eNews: Many Thanks to GALT's 2022 Emergency Heroes!

About three weeks ago, we launched GALT's Emergency Fund 2022 to cover some extraordinary medical expenses and utilities that arose when we were in a cash crunch. An anonymous donor quickly offered $10,000 in matching funds, and we met that goal in the first week! Then, two more generous donors, Lori & Bill Elmer, pledged another $5,000 in matching funds in memory of Rock (pictured), the greyhound who “started it all” for them.

We are pleased to announce that 24 emergency heroes stepped up to donate $500 or more by July 31st, for a total of $13,000. While we are sincerely grateful to these heroes and our matching fund donors, we also appreciate the 66 other donors who gave between $25 and $250, for a total of $4,600! In total, we exceeded our matching goal by $2,600 and raised $32,600 including our matching funds!

We are grateful to all who contributed to this effort, and we are humbled and honored by your dedication and commitment to helping GALT’s hounds! Thank you all, from the bottom of our hearts! Special thanks to the following Emergency Heroes who donated $500 or more. You can read comments about their inspiration from them and see their hound photos here.

Great Egret In the Desert, 2012 This close up, photographed at J.N. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island in Florida, is juxtaposed against the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley.

The Art of Birds, Revealed Through an Altered Reality

— By Becky Harlan • Published: June 30, 2015 | Saturday April 27, 2024 | All Images Created By Cheryl Medow

At first glance, these birds wowed me. A few seconds later I started to wonder, Are they real?

Well … Yes. And No.

Grey Crowned Cranes Each crowned crane was photographed on an acacia tree near Richards Camp in Masai Mara, Kenya. Mount Kenya was photographed from a Cessna.

Before attempting to explain what’s going on in these images, the artist, Cheryl Medow, might appreciate you taking a similar approach to experiencing her photography as she does to making it. “I don’t think my pictures through,” she says, “I feel them.”

She described this incident to me: Visitors at one of her gallery shows were asking questions about how she creates her work, and she was answering. But then a guest approached her and said, “No, no, no, don’t say a thing. I just want to enjoy these pictures.” It was then that she realized that she was looking for an emotional reaction, for people to enjoy looking at the work without having all the answers.

So please: Look. Enjoy. Feel.

Roseate Spoonbills Each bird was photographed at St. Augustine’s Farm in Florida. This is where they nest in the spring. The waves were shot in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.

Cattle Egret Portrait ”During mating season the cattle egret colors are like a rainbow,” says Medow. This portrait was photographed in Florida, with the pattern of sand dunes from Death Valley in the background.

White Ibis With Fish This white ibis with his seaweed and fish catch were photographed at J.N. Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel Island, Florida. The background clouds and surf were shot in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.

But if you’re like me, you still want to know the story behind these images. So here goes.

These are real birds, photographed in the wild. They are also pictured in real landscapes. And both parts of the images are photographed by Medow. But they weren’t captured at the same time and often not in the same place.

Why does she go to the trouble of capturing these stunning birds in the wild and then transposing them somewhere else?

Great Blue Heron With Chicks Balancing on a branch, the great blue heron was photographed at the Venice Rookery in Venice, Florida, along with the chicks in a nest. The background was photographed in Bigfork, Montana.

Greater Flamingo I This flamingo was photographed on Isabela Island in the Galápagos in a brackish saltwater lagoon. The clouds were also photographed in the Galápagos on a different day.

It all started because she was photographing birds with a 600mm lens. And when you shoot birds with a lens that long, the rest of the background becomes blurry—the birds wind up being the only thing in the frame that’s in focus. All context is lost. She wanted to put the birds back into an environment, so she began creating composite images.

At first she was just placing the birds into photos of the landscapes where she’d originally shot them. But then she realized she could take it to another level—she could put the birds anywhere and at any scale.

Saddle-Billed Storks This mother and baby were photographed in the Masai Mara Game Reserve. The landscape was shot by plane in the same area, traveling from Sirikoi Lewa Wildlife Conservancy in Laikipia to Richards Camp in Masai Mara.

“I’m an artist first, and photography is a tool that I use to be creative,” she says. “When I picked up the camera and the computer it opened up new possibilities for me. I can make the birds much larger than life. It draws attention to these guys that if you just saw them in the wild with the naked eye you wouldn’t see.”

She draws inspiration from the Hudson River School painters. “They took their sketchpads and went out, as I take my camera and go out, and they got sketches of all these different things. And when they went back to their studios and made their paintings, they combined the different elements that they had seen out in the field. So when the normal person went to the Hudson River and looked for the pictures they couldn’t find some of them. And that’s because they weren’t out there in the real world. Even the painters had manipulated what they had seen and brought it together and combined different elements to make their paintings,” she says. “They’re redoing nature in their mind’s eye, and I guess I’m doing that too.”

Reddish Egret This bird was photographed at Little Estero Lagoon, Fort Myers Beach, Florida. The landscape was also shot in Fort Myers at a different time.

Her subjects come from all over the world. Kenya, Tanzania, Botswana, South Africa, Los Angeles, New Mexico, the Galápagos, Costa Rica, and Brazil are some of the places she’s traveled to photograph birds. She’ll often photograph at a certain place during a certain season to see, for instance, an egret in its mating plumage. “I’ll pick April and May to go to Florida because that’s when they’re in their mating colors,” she says.

Great Egrets, A Starry Night The egrets were photographed in St. Augustine, Florida, and Devereux Lagoon and Slough, Santa Barbara, California. The night sky was photographed in Hanalei Bay, Kauai.

Some might think that because these images involve Photoshop in their final state that the painstaking work of photographing a bird in the wild is somehow less work. But Medow assures me that capturing these creatures in the wild isn’t for the hurried. “When I go out and shoot birds there’s a real Zen, a meditative state. Patience is something that I think is a wonderful asset to have, and I don’t usually use it in my normal life, so when I go out in the field I can almost zone out. I could sit there for hours waiting for birds to come and go,” she says. “They’re wild. They’re really wild. They can fly away. There’s something about that that’s just intriguing to me.”
