Why do we love being scared? It can't be the way it makes our heart beat at rapid rates. Or how it keeps us up at night, leaving us to clutch our sheets as we stare at our half-open closets and listen for the faintest sounds down the hall. What the hell is it then? What gives us the oomph to spend 24 hours at vintage theaters for horror movie marathons? Why do we feel the need to sit down and watch John Carpenter's Halloween for the 568th time every time October rolls around? It's really odd.
For some, it's an emotional release. Watching masked murderers hunt down hapless idiots or seeing nuclear families flee from the fractured promise of the American dream is a spiritually cynical escape from our own problems. It's a cleansing of sorts that filters out our own personal anxieties that stem from real-world problems. So, in effect, these 90-minute B-fests serve as a therapeutic experience that a) costs less than your average therapist and b) traditionally involves candy and/or beer.
For others, it's a nostalgic thing. Growing up throughout the '80s and '90s, and even throughout the '00s to a certain extent, there was a mythology to the horror movie genre. What made you scared said so much about you as a person. Whether your skin crawled over the sight of gore or your spines tingled at the sound of a werewolf, it was your fear to cultivate, and you wore that fear as a badge of courage. It was something to talk about on the playgrounds and in the aisles of your local video shop.
Today, that connection seems different, if only because everything has been sterilized by being parsed out through various streaming services. We seek out horror in different ways now, not through physical scouring but through mindless scrolling. It's kind of the same, but it's also not really the same — overall, it feels like something's been missing from the experience. But, here's the thing: Fear will always find us, no matter what changes, and this list is definitive proof of that notion.
Because no matter the time nor the medium, these films will scare you.

Why? And why not?
I've been producing feature films and television shows for over a decade, and I learned early on that artists needed an ally in their pursuits.
They needed more than just a passion, they needed a realistic plan on how to achieve their vision.
However, there were too many people in Hollywood who were predatory producers: fast-talkers who promised introductions to major power-players, and all the artist needed to do was pay $1,000.
I learned the hard way that anyone who wants an up front payments for introduction fees were scam-artists.
As I grew and became a certified project manager, I found there were many people who needed real help in fulfilling their vision. Not just filmmakers, but artists of all stripes, entrepreneurs, and visionaries who cared about making a better world.
These people needed help with business plans, executive summaries, budgets, schedules, and the logistic issues that would help shape what they wanted to make.
Too often, without any help, these great and grand ideas would just falter as the people who shaped them were too busy dealing with their every-day lives. They struggled with the how.
That's where the Greater and Grander collective came in. My partners and I wanted more than just to work for large corporations. We wanted to build something that was greater and grander than ourselves.
To put it simply, we want to be part of creating something cool. Some producers ask why, we want to ask, "Why not?"
So find out more about Greater and Grander, and the services we provide. Budgets, schedules, business plans, and logistical support are just some of what we offer. Find out more by signing up below.

This White-streaked Honeyeater was very shy and would not come out into the open at all.
For some time it was heard calling but was not seen. Eventually it appeared briefly before retreating back into the foliage.

If you had ever told me growing up that I would have any contact with a wardrobe stylist I would have laughed. Let's face it, I grew up in meager circumstances to say the least and left home at 17. Not the recipe for even having a decent wardrobe. Time does, however, change things. One day I turned around and the kids were taking care of their own expenses, the house was paid off and suddenly I had a little extra income to purchase clothes from somewhere other than Value Village, Zellers and Costco. Unfortunately other things had changed as well.
I had always been a very thin person from a very thin family who ate and drank pretty much whatever I wanted - no exercise required. That all changed during the five years I spent creating over 200 dance costumes a year. The stress was unbelievable. While there were many things I loved about designing costumes - I revelled in the creative process, enjoyed watching dancers in my costumes, had costumes on stage for the Attorney General and actually won an award - the business was not a good match for my organizational skills. All the work is accepted at one time with no real knowledge if there will be a delays along the way. If you don't finish on time, a dancer (or a whole class of dancers) will be on stage naked. More than once I was up all night so I could deliver costumes for a dance competition the very next day.
No matter how much I was aware you needed to eat a regular diet when stressed - I honestly couldn't stomach food and believed my genetics would save me. WRONG! The day started with coffee and Gravol - bad, bad, bad - and food just didn't find it's way into my system until well after 8 p.m. at night. Each year after the season ended my weight set point was up another five pounds. When I finally walked away from the business I realized I had a weight issue for the first time in my life. All those years of knowing what looked great on me were now gone. I struggled to find a look that went with the new body, but shopping became a depressing experience. I would take 20 items into the change room and at least 19 would go back on the racks.
Added into the mix was the unexpected passing of my mum (age 85) in February 2009. I had to go not only to a small family funeral, but a large memorial service at the university where she was still working at the time of her stroke. I was in a quandry emotionally and needed help. In sheer desperation I walked into JC Studios and put myself in Shannon's capable hands. The requirement? Find me something conservative, but not boring, that looks good on my current silhouette. I didn't want to be somber as my mum had a wonderful life and an exceptionally easy passing. I also didn't want to stand out as disrespectful. Shannon came through in spades and that outfit is still in my closet. As it is a bit more conservative, it's not one you will often see on me out at fashion events, but I still wear it today and continue to get compliments on it. My favourite was from another designer, "Whoever put that together for you knew what they were doing!"
Over the course of the last couple years I have learned to lean on Shannon to help me slowly build a wardrobe with depth and versatility. Each season I come in for pre-booking and we work together once the clothes arrive to decide what works best. The designer for the Jaqueline Conoir line, RozeMerie Cuevas, shared with me in an interview that her stylists try to keep a client's wardrobes up to date by encouraging them to try one new look each season.
Keeping this in mind, I am always open to a new silhouette whether I think it will look good or not. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised. Colour is another area I have broadened my tastes. I actually did know my best colours, but as you age the hue of your skin changes. There are a few I have had to let go and a few new ones that can now be added to the palette.
For the first couple years Shannon would adjust my garments at events, or in studio on my way to events, to make sure I looked my best. I even showed up at the JC Studio launch one season with several jewellery choices in my pocket and had her help me decide what was best as I wasn't sure. When I did a great job putting together a new combination she was always the first to let me know. I loved the mothering - it made me feel cared for and special! Suddenly it all started to blossum and I began to regularly come up with different combinations on my own that received her stamp of approval. I knew I was finally getting there when we were both at the same event and she didn't take a moment to adjust my garments even once. That said, I hope she always keeps her keen eye out for me.
What should you look for in a stylist? I think a personal connection is probably most important. Someone who garners your trust and really listens when you talk about your likes and dislikes is your best bet (let's face it we all have personal fashion dislikes.) If your life has changed, your body has taken on a life of its own or you just want to get out of a fashion rut and give your wardrobe a new start, a wardrobe stylist is a godsend who can even make the process fun.


The State of Florida is one of the most famous of the United States, especially for its wonderful beaches, but also because of the many attractions you can find.
The capital is Tallahassee, but the most famous places are Miami and Orlando.
Miami, whose urban area is the most populous in Florida, is particularly famous for its natural beauty, which includes the natural park of the Everglades, Biscayne Bay, where the famous Villa Vizcaya is located and the immense beaches situated on the world famous Miami Beach, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
Unlike Miami, the city of Orlando attracts tourists with an entertainment industry that has few equals in the world. Besides hosting the famous Disneyworld park in Orlando, you can find many other ways to have fun, such as Sea World, where spectacular sea world representations enchant visitors! Another must-see stage is the Universal Orlando Resort, a park which includes hotels, shops, discos, nights and many possibilities to spend your days.
Taking your vacations in Florida is certainly a way to indulge in fun, alternating between the most insane moments passed on to the most realizing ones on the most famous beaches in the world, both while being soothed by a wonderful climate, which will allow you to fully enjoy the beauty of unique places like south beach!

IT SEEMS obvious enough: when defendants plead guilty, they've done the deed for which they're accused.
In the federal criminal justice system, however, appearances often mask realities.
Endowed with enormous powers, federal prosecutors are inducing more and more defendants to plead guilty. At last report, a mere 10 percent of those accused of federal felonies asked for a trial. Are more defendants owning up to their guilt, or are there other forces producing this cascade of mea culpas?
Enter Joseph P. Lally Jr., who announced Monday that he was making a deal with the US attorney's office to plead guilty and become a witness against former House speaker Salvatore F. DiMasi and co-defendant Richard Vitale. In connection with a federal inquiry into an alleged kickback scheme, Lally, who had steadfastly asserted his innocence, pleaded guilty to conspiracy, extortion, and mail and wire fraud. In turn, prosecutors promised to recommend that Chief Judge Mark L. Wolf impose a sentence of between two and three years, instead of the nine years he faced under prevailing sentencing guidelines. Further, the government agreed to drop a money-laundering count that otherwise could have cost the witness title to his North Reading home as well as about $30,000 in bank accounts.
But leniency comes at a price. Lally has agreed to provide testimony that will help prosecutors. The dog gets the bone only if it performs the trick.
The culture of testimony in return for rewards is now so firmly embedded that nary a brow was raised at this unseemly arrangement.
How did the system come to this, where the government can trade freedom and money for testimony? How can prosecutors be allowed, in the words of Harvard Law professor Alan Dershowitz, to "teach witnesses not only to sing, but also to compose''?
These questions were raised some dozen years ago, when Sonya Singleton of Kansas, who was accused of money laundering and drug distribution, challenged the practice. Singleton argued that the government, by promising the witness leniency, had violated a federal statute that makes it a crime to give or promise a witness "anything of value'' in exchange for testimony.
The issue made its way to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, where a three-judge panel found that there was no exception for prosecutors in the witness-bribery statute. The decision sent shockwaves through the federal criminal justice system. The Justice Department promptly sought, and received, a further review by the full membership of the 10th Circuit.
To the detriment of innocents everywhere, the full court reversed the upstart panel. It ruled that "in light of the longstanding practice of leniency for testimony,'' it must be "presumed'' that, had Congress intended to "overturn this ingrained aspect of American legal culture, it would have done so in clear, unmistakable, and unarguable language.'' But, of course, that is precisely what the statute appeared to do; it did not make an exception for prosecutors who reward witnesses with lower sentences and cash incentives. The language, as the three-judge panel had noted, was unmistakably clear, providing no exceptions for prosecutors bearing gifts to witnesses.
The Singleton decision paved the path to today, where a trial before a jury of one's peers — a citizen's constitutional right, after all — is becoming increasingly rare. When a defendant is made an offer he feels he cannot refuse, a guilty plea and "cooperation'' may seem the best possible option. Where innocence is no longer a defense that an accused is willing to assert, citizens — and surely the news media as well — should view with skepticism the guilt of both the witness and the vanishing breed of defendant willing to risk going to trial.

Migration and multiculturalism
'Populate or perish': Australia's postwar migration program
By the end of World War II, millions of people in Europe had been forced to flee from their homes and were living in camps for refugees and displaced persons.
Relief agencies called on other nations to help to resettle these people. At the same time, Australia was suffering from shortages in the work force and its small population and isolation increased its sense of vulnerability.
To increase the number of workers available for defence and development, Prime Minister Joseph Chifley approved an urgent recruitment campaign in Europe to attract migrants. The Australian Government also sent officers to select people from the camps to migrate to Australia. The slogan 'populate or perish' was used to help the Australian population to accept this large intake of migrants.

A world in distress: The first stage of the battle against the pandemic
Politicians and public servants are immersed in one of the most challenging non-war situations in a century. The novel coronavirus has tied the world in a series of policy knots that start with public health and national safety, and sweep across global transportation and employment, to deficit financing and fundamental questions about the role of government in society.

Politicians and public servants are immersed in one of the most challenging non-war situations in a century. The novel coronavirus has tied the world in a series of policy knots that start with public health and national safety, and sweep across global transportation and employment, to deficit financing and fundamental questions about the role of government in society. As our leaders and governments walk us through the greatest crisis faced by this generation, we must all understand that the current challenges and decisions are only the start of a process that could well last for years and may well recast some of the most basic elements of contemporary society.
Canada and China, despite serious legal and diplomatic tensions, are now irretrievably connected. Because of Covid-19, schools have closed, small businesses shuttered their stores, governments have imposed restrictions on public gatherings, and families are contemplating the open-ended uncertainties of these troubled times. As the coronavirus crisis appears to have settled down in China it continues to expand its reach in Canada. But as the virus and collective actions take hold in Canada and countries around the world, it is not too soon to realize that even before the medical battle is won, subsequent and more complicated struggles are sure to follow.
Federal, provincial, territorial, Indigenous and local governments have, for the most part, acted with appropriate haste and determination, eager to "flatten the curve" and slow the spread of the virus. And so we find our lives disrupted in dozens of ways, from imposed social isolation to cancelled public events, the closing of international borders, the disruption of government and commercial services, the cancellation of thousands of flights and the hasty return of people travelling outside the country. We may know, in time, which of these actions were appropriate and most effective. For now, Canadians are working collaboratively and with a full commitment to "peace, order and good government."
But trouble lies ahead—hopefully not in the form of thousands of infections and numerous deaths, but rather in severe economic dislocations, challenges to the world's commitment to globalization, jobs and business survival, to say nothing of the collective psychological effects of prolonged isolation. Even as the tragic drama unfolds around us, it is not too soon to contemplate the challenges that lie ahead. For one day, perhaps by the middle of May, but maybe as late as the fall, the pall of the coronavirus will lift. Life will return closer to normal. Consider a somewhat eclectic partial list of major issues that Canada will have to deal with in the post-virus world and, potentially, for years to come thereafter.
The importance of the length of the crisis
Canada is in the early days of the coronavirus outbreak. If the restrictions were lifted next week—they will not be—it would take the Canadian and global economies weeks, if not months, to rebound. Should the crisis carry into July or August, or beyond, the economic impacts will be exponentially greater. Think of what has happened to date. Thousands of businesses closed, hundreds of thousands of jobs lost, goodness knows how many trips and hotel reservations cancelled, and millions of purchases suspended. In the four days of the widespread shut down of business due to the virus, 500,000 Canadians applied for employment insurance. Given the loss of work and the obvious inability of governments to make everyone financially whole, each week that the crisis continues adds weeks if not months to the eventual recovery.
The fate of small businesses and debt
Each day, the list of local businesses that have had to close grows longer. Restaurants and bars are shut, save for take-out. Spas, gyms, hairdressers and others are no longer operating. Groceries and pharmacies are staying open, but most other stores are closing or coping with a severe decline in sales. Some construction is still underway, but with government services disrupted and political processes stalled, approvals and permits are going to be hard to come by. Emergency services will be maintained—the shutdown is not going to be total—but the government-mandated closure of non-essential activities means that small business may well bear the brunt of the economic slowdown. Estimates suggest that between a quarter and a third of small businesses will not survive the crisis, a personal and economic catastrophe of monumental proportions.
The perilous state of family finances
The economic crisis is going to filter down swiftly to the family level. Pre-coronavirus, numerous commentators observed that a large proportion of Canadian families were one cheque away from financial collapse. The apocalypse is now at hand. Tens of thousands have lost their jobs; many more will follow. Small businesses are hemorrhaging cash. Many people will not be okay if they miss a pay cheque or two. What happens when the period of unemployment and economic distress stretches for several months? People fortunate enough to have been able to save will dip into their reserves and use money that had been saved for a future holiday or a long-planned major purchase to pay for immediate expenses. The Government of Canada has made it clear that people will be protected from penury, but millions of Canadians will nonetheless suffer a sharp reduction in their quality of life. Canada's plans for salary substitutions will fall far short of Denmark's more generous commitment of 75% of personal income.
Rebalancing federal and provincial debt
Government debt will underpin efforts to keep the Canadian economy afloat. Finance Minister Bill Morneau has announced more than $80 billion in emergency payments. No one thinks it stops there. Federal emergency expenditures of two or three times that scale are almost inevitable. Indeed, in the United States many economists are saying that $3-4 trillion in support is required. Employment Insurance regulations are being loosened. Payments to small businesses are promised. The catastrophic collapse of the tourism industry calls out for immediate assistance; towns, from Whistler, B.C. to the Maritimes are facing a spring and summer of previously unimaginable decline. The demands on the health care sector, particularly if the coronavirus really takes hold, will be exceedingly high. Provinces and municipalities are assisting families and businesses, but they will also be suffering through sharp declines in tax revenue, local employment and business activity. When the crisis ends—within a month if the country is very fortunate, but perhaps in three to six months—a national financial reckoning will be required. Will more taxes follow, or will governments cut back dramatically on services? And if you think the conversations are difficult right now, the debates that will follow will strike at the heart of fiscal federalism, Canada's standard of living and, perhaps most ominously, our entrenched complacency.
The dislocation of the gig economy
Over the last decade, there has been a mixture of excitement and concern about the "gig" economy of Uber and Lyft, on-line tutoring and tax-filing services, animation workers, and hundreds of thousands of part-time, flexible contractors. The shift from regular modes of employment to temporary, mobile jobs was heralded for its informality and its fit with the high technology, service-first mentality of the 21st century urban economy. The weaknesses of the gig economy—absence of benefits, unreliability of income, dependence on the success of local firms—have been exposed in the current crisis. Work has dried up. As "independent contractors" rather than employees, most are not eligible for Employment Insurance and other benefits. It is unclear how some of the Government of Canada's $5 billion in emergency benefits will flow to gig workers, although it is a great sign that funds are being allocated for these workers. The "ghosts" of the contemporary economy could easily haunt government efforts to bring order to the virus-driven chaos of 2020.
Recalibrating education
"The shift from regular modes of employment to temporary, mobile jobs was heralded for its informality and its fit with the high technology, service-first mentality of the 21st century urban economy. The weaknesses of the gig economy—absence of benefits, unreliability of income, dependence on local developments—have been truly exposed in the COVID pandemic crisis."
Ken Coates and Carin Holroyd
Some of the issues seem trivial to society at large, but are of intense importance to the people involved. Consider the situation facing students waiting for graduation and applying to post-secondary education institutions. Canadian high schools can deal with graduation by using in-class grades, but without the standard precision. In universities, in particular, the difference between 89 and 90% can determine acceptance, scholarships, internships and the like. Even MIT has shifted to pass/fail grades. Hundreds of institutions will be rejigging their admission processes to accommodate the absence of standard end-of-the-year grades. The educational future of hundreds of thousands of Canadian students is uncertain, adding to the inevitable anxiety of graduation year. Of course, this is only part of the problem. It is not yet clear when post-secondary institutions will reopen and what funding will be available to support the colleges, polytechnics and universities.
There is another impending crisis in post-secondary education. On a national scale, the half million international students in Canada— and the annual 150,000 or so who replenish the supply—are critical to the financial well-being of high schools, colleges, polytechs and universities. With closed borders, over-burdened embassies, crises in numerous countries, and no end in sight, the challenges of international student recruitment are both imminent and fiscally catastrophic. Institutions could face budget reductions of upwards of 20%, depending on the level of reliance on international students. Institutions will have few options: raise fees in an already volatile economy, seek more money from cash-strapped governments, add to the international borrowing frenzy or reduce institutional costs. None of these is the least bit appealing and the situation is dire.
Advantage East Asia
The corona virus originated in China, spreading quickly around the world. The impact on Wuhan has been catastrophic. But East Asia, having borne the early brunt of the disease, is now stabilizing faster. The authoritarian Chinese regime imposed strict conditions and is now optimistic that it has the pandemic under control and that economic recovery is possible. South Korea has become a testing machine, with drive-in testing centres and aggressive business development efforts. Taiwan successfully used technology and policy interventions, based on extensive civic participation, though the country's digital democratic platforms. The number of cases in Japan appears to have stabilized. East Asia is producing excellent examples of effective responses, from Singapore's contact tracking to Taiwan's marriage of policy, technology and citizen engagement and strong region-wide public health strategies. The success of East Asian measures may give the region an opportunity to focus on revitalization and economic renewal while other leading industrial nations continue to cope with the surge in coronavirus cases and paying for frighteningly expensive intervention measures.
For the past 40 years, the world's economies have focused on capitalizing on the potential of economic globalization. China has been the focal point for the increasing entanglement of the international economy, producing an unprecedented surge in Chinese incomes and standards of living. It is not clear that the international interest in globalization will be maintained. China's central role in global supply chains will invariably be challenged. An episode like the coronavirus outbreak will convince some countries into enacting protectionist measures and, perhaps, a shift back to nation-centric economies. Countries shipping raw materials may be less affected than those producing advanced products, potentially upsetting the globalization imperative and altering the foundations of the 21st century order.
Revitalizing the economy
For extremely important reasons during this time, governments have prioritized public health and collective well-being. This is absolutely as it must be. But a reckoning lies ahead. Add together a resulting decline in the number of small businesses, massive emerging government debts, the collapsing natural resource economy, the implosion of the service economy and other elements of the current pandemic. Let these run, conservatively, for three months. Now, at the end of June, try to revitalize the national and global economy.
Governments will be substantially tapped out as will the severely battered small business sector, typically the real engine of economic growth in Canada. Slow economic growth around the world will slow the revival of the natural resource sector. Family finances, battered and bruised by months of isolation, will be in no shape to sustain a consumer-led economic rebound. Government directed economic renewal, always of limited benefit, will not have a great deal of money to sustain the effort. The rebuilding will happen, likely to a smaller, less certain and less connected global economy. But this could take years. That no country or region is immune to the crisis—there will be no equivalent of the USA after World War II—means the post-virus world may well lack for leadership, inspiration and funding.
Canada has never experienced anything of this sort of crisis before. During World War II, the country shifted to a government-directed economy with significant rationing, price controls and other regulations. At the same time, wartime spending sustained the workforce and kept Canadian businesses active, albeit at a different level. The speed, intensity and reach of this crisis is unmatched, with Canadians so far demonstrating impressive calmness amidst the chaos. But as the days become weeks and months, our collective unease will grow, uncertainty will accelerate, and the economic dislocations will increase. As time passes, our collective attentions will turn from the immediate challenges, formidable though they will be, to the longer-term effects of a global calamity.
Rebounding from the Coronavirus
When countries go to war, they immediately start planning for the peace. Canadian governments must cope with the current crisis, but they have to also prepare for when the restrictions are lifted and the recovery begins. The country needs and deserves regular briefings on preparations for the post-virus world. We need to know the plans, the costs and the consequences.
Currently, Canadians have no sense of how long the social isolation requirements will continue. While it is easy to appreciate the reluctance of governments to speculate, they must trust the citizenry with information about the future and the data that will inform their decisions. Government should share the metrics that they intend to use when they reduce and eliminate restrictions. Given the sacrifices everyone is making, it is important that governments trust the public and their decisions-making logic.
Each institution, agency, department and organization should conduct a quick but comprehensive assessment of how a short, medium or long-term crisis will affect operations. The results should be shared with stakeholders who should also be asked to help with formulating responses. Institutions require a recovery plan, one that provides a guide to the future and which offers, one hopes, a modicum of optimism.
Countries tend to operate in splendid isolation, too rarely looking to other nations for inspiration, ideas and policy ideas. East Asia has some of the most effective responses to testing, crisis management and recovery. We need to scour the world for best practices and new ideas on pandemic management.
This is not a time to hunker down, financially, from the world. Just as governments have to spend to help the country through the crisis, so must Canadians support local businesses and services and keep money circulating through the economy. We need to keep people employed and we need to keep our small and large businesses intact and ready to reinvigorate the economy when bans on social interactions are lifted.
Even as we cope with the national crisis, Canadians need to retain their compassion for the developing nations. If and when the virus sweeps through sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, the prospect for mass infections and hundreds of thousands of deaths is very real. We have to prepare ourselves to help other countries who will be in even more dire conditions.
Information is the most valuable currency in a crisis. We have excellent examples in the work of public health officials across Canada. We need comparable spokespeople who can speak about economic changes, employment challenges and rescue and recovery efforts. We need political leaders who will connect government actions to national realities and who share information on unfolding realities. Regular updates are essential to reassure the public and to provide a counterbalance to the spread of rumours, speculations and misinformation.
Less than a month into the coronavirus crisis, Canadians and Canadian governments have held up well. Too many people are flaunting social isolation instructions, but overall public compliance has been high and governments have been calm, competent and reassuring. Frustrations will spike as time passes, particularly if job and business losses continue to escalate. The country needs to emphasize well-being and containment, but it also must start looking to the future. When the virus is under control, an equally profound struggle of economic renewal and social reconstruction lies ahead.

Turns out ENCHANTERS' END GAME has all kinds of POVs in it, mostly, in fact, of women. Well, no, not mostly: mostly it's Garion. But every other POV is a female, because Eddings dips in around the West and visits the queens who are holding the thrones while their husbands are off fighting the big war.
Re-reading as an adult, I found that interesting for two reasons: one, it means every POV in the Belgariad that is not Garion's is female, which–from the adult perspective–is fairly awesome. One wonders if that was his wife Leigh's (whose name went on the much later Eddings books) doing, or if–well, honestly, it does simply make the most sense. Ce'Nedra's a fairly obvious viewpoint character, since she's the most important of them whose storyline doesn't follow the same physical path as Garion's, and the kings' activities can be related through her gaze, since she's with them. The queens, however, are entirely out of either Garion or Ce'Nedra's line of sight, and they're doing important things, so bringing them in as viewpoint characters makes sense.
Two, it means that Eddings presented a totally different series of points of view in the final book, which is, like, Not Allowed. Readers have certain expectations, dammit! You can't go around messing with them! …except apparently you can. So that's kind of cool from a writer's POV, 'cause hey, look, perhaps one can get away with that kind of thing.
I also realized on this re-read that although my youthful perception was that this story was done, upon reflection it's clear Eddings never intended The Belgariad to be the whole story. He always intended The Malloreon to follow it. All the threads are in place, and while I, like many others, might object to the fact that he wrote the same story again (and again, and again; Eddings is an excellent demonstration of Robin McKinley's theory that perhaps at the heart of it we all only have one story to tell), there is the fact that he wrote that same story many times to huge success. His books, and that story, with its faintly different trappings, were and are immensely popular. There may be a lesson there, for those of us who do this for a living.
…well, you wouldn't have the Belgariad when you were done, and that would be a shame, because despite their flaws, these are still entertaining, delightful reads that I would not hesitate to recommend to any fantasy reader.
I've enjoyed your re-read reviews. I read this series many years ago and remember loving them--but really have had no idea how it would hold up on re-read.
I'm re-reading the Belgariad now. This is all your fault. Only read 'Pawn of Prophecy' so far but it's really interesting to read it with a writer's eye rather than an accepting-of-anything-teenager's eye.
You're right, it's all very simple. And very tick the boxes. But fantasy has advanced so far since it was written, that it's one of those series which we look at as being cliched now... but is cliched because an awful lot of later work owes it a debt. IMO, anyway.
I was always amused by the fact the CHARACTERS in the Mallorean realize it's the same story and present a reason for this being the case.
I do love the Mallorean though, it's nice to revisit the characters.


The Quang Binh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism has given the green light to tours to Tien (Fairy) Cave in the central province's Cao Quang commune, Tuyen Hoa district.
The Oxalis Adventure Tours Company is permitted to undertake such tours, which will include a one-day tour, a two-day, one-night tour, and another from the Tu Lan Cave system to Cao Quang. The new tours will be available from November to August next year before being temporarily suspended in September and October due to the flood season. The mildly-strenuous discovery tours are expected to appeal to many tourists.
First explored by experts from the British Caving Association in 1994, the cave consists of stalagmites that at times look like terraced rice fields. As one of the largest in the Tu Lan Cave system, Fairy Cave, with a total length of nearly 3 km, includes two branches - Fairy Cave 1 and Fairy Cave 2 - which are connected by a primeval forest with huge trees. The cave is dry, with streams only appearing in the flood season.
The opening to the cave is quite wide, at 50 meters, and has a height of nearly 70 meters. Due to flooding in the wet season its walls are covered with a layer of sand.
The department expects the new tourism service will diversify tours and meet tourists' needs.
Moderately-strenuous tours to explore Va and Nuoc Nut Caves within the UNESCO-recognized Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Quang Binh were officially launched on August 16.
The Phong Nha-Ke Bang tourism center also launched a program to explore Toi (Dark) Cave, as part of the Quang Binh Cave Festival 2015, themed "Quang Binh - Kingdom of Caves".
Phong Nha-Ke Bang is famous for its spectacular cave system, with the 123-hectare park also being home to nearly 2,934 species of flora and fauna.
The largest cave in the world, Son Doong, is hidden within the park. Since the cave was discovered in 2009 by a group of scientists from the British Cave Research Association it has become an international sensation and drawn tourists from all over the world.

The 95th celebration of the Day of Defence Procurement took place at the Marble Hall of the Palace of the National Military Club, on Monday, 5 November.
"Romanian military needs now, more than ever, a dynamic Department for Armament, able to put to best use the human and financial resources, the technical, technological and industrial potential of the defence, so that it is a true strategic engine of the transformation process of the Romanian Armed Forces, for their full integration into the Euro-Atlantic structures", was the message of State Secretary for Armament Floarea Şerban to the audience.
The State Secretary for Armament congratulated and awarded prizes to the teams of the Military Equipment and Technologies Research Agency and the Military Technical Academy for outstanding scientific achievements in 2012, with a project from NATO Research and Technology Agency, namely 3rd prize in the final phase of the international Diligent Design Contest 2012, that took place from 22 to 30 September in Pullman, Washington, USA.
During the ceremony, State Secretary for Defence Policy and Planning, Sebastian Huluban, conveyed the defence minister's message that emphasized the importance of the activity conducted by the personnel of the department of Armament.
"You carry a huge responsibility as the future military equipment depend on the quality of your work. I assure you I appreciate the effort the personnel of the Department for Armament, the way you met your goals and the activity of this structure in general, as it plays an important role for the procurement of the Romanian military during a period of financial constraints" the message of defence minister Corneliu Dobriţoiu said.
The attendants had the opportunity to visit a still mini-exhibition of the Military Equipment and Technologies Research Agency and the Military Technical Academy at the Palace of the National Military Club.
The event was attended by the Secretary of State for Parliament Liaison, Public Information and Personnel Welfare, Dan Tătaru, the chief of General Staff, Lieutenant General Ştefan Dănilă, representatives of defence ministry structures, the Department for Armament, the Military Equipment and Technologies Research Agency and the Military Technical Academy.
Established in 1917, the Department for Armament changed its name and structure twelve times.
At present, the Department for Armament is a modern structure undergoing a full process of adaptation to the needs of the military derived from the reorganizing and restructuring process it goes through as a consequence of its integration into NATO structures, while having clear cut responsibilities for technical development and procurement of the military. In order to meet its goals, the department seeks to further its bilateral technical-military cooperation relations with NATO member and partner countries and others, thus contributing to strengthening international cooperation in the field of armament.
