Each step forward puts money in the team's bank, with bonus money for each successful crossing. However, the team gets to keep the money only if it can "beat the bridge" by returning one of its players back across before time expires in an exciting end game. BEAT THE BRIDGE is a Game Show Enterprises Studios production with Ed Egan as executive producer and Sabrina Hybel Snow as co-executive producer. Josephine Brassey, Gary Chippington and David Mortimer serve as executive producers for STV Studios. SAMPLE EPISODE HERE: https://app.shift.io/review/660de05def029d452057014c/76fdc035-685b-476f-9a34-4116637e99b2

Dani began writing songs at 13 when she got her first guitar but mostly kept her music private. After moving to Ventura to attend Cal State Channel Islands, she started to branch out by participating in open mic nights and jam sessions, and even briefly joining a reggae band. She started "Artist's Brew" in her apartment complex, where she would book friends to play their original music and be among other musicians and creatives. In 2016, Dani moved to a house in Encino where she and her roommates would host live shows called "LowerDeck Sessions." It evolved from 10 friends jamming together to 150+ people attending the house shows monthly. In 2020, Dani moved to Nashville to pursue songwriting. She started doing writers' rounds and met her boyfriend, who plays bass in a rock band, which would eventually become her backing band. She and her boyfriend now travel the country in their camper, performing at stops along the way.

FAT LEONARD: #1 New York Times bestselling author Craig Whitlock's masterful account of one of the biggest public corruption scandals in American history-exposing how a charismatic Malaysian defense contractor bribed scores of high-ranking military officers, defrauded the US Navy of tens of millions of dollars, and jeopardized our nation's security. All the admirals in the US Navy knew Leonard Glenn Francis-either personally or by his legendary reputation. He was the larger-than-life defense contractor who greeted them on the pier whenever they visited ports in Asia, ready to show them a good time after weeks at sea while his company resupplied their ships and submarines. He was famed throughout the fleet for the gluttonous parties he hosted for officers: $1,000-per-person dinners at Asia's swankiest restaurants, featuring unlimited Dom Pérignon, Cuban cigars, and sexy young women. On the surface, with his flawless American accent, he seemed like a true friend of the Navy. What the brass didn't realize, until far too late, was that Francis had seduced them by exploiting their entitlement and hubris. While he was bribing them with gifts, lavish meals, and booze-fueled orgies, he was making himself obscenely wealthy by bilking American taxpayers. Worse, he was stealing military secrets from under the admirals' noses and compromising national security. Based on reams of confidential documents-including the blackmail files that Francis kept on Navy officers-FAT LEONARD is the full, unvarnished story of a world-class con man and a captivating testament to the corrosive influence of greed within the ranks of the American military. "Explosive, brilliantly reported and meticulously documented, Craig Whitlock's Fat Leonard reads like a thriller but depicts one of the most sordid chapters in U.S. military history, a tale of brazen corruption that soiled the Navy and is an infuriating insult to the American taxpayer. You won't be able to put this book down, and you won't stop wondering how it could have happened."-David E. Hoffman, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Billion Dollar Spy

Heavy, aggressive, and melodic, Dystopica’s first full-length album, Infinite Reflection, elevates their sound to a whole new level. It combines the strength of heavy metal, the driving force of thrash metal, and the complexity of progressive metal in a way that is unique and catchy. With harmonized guitar riffs, epic guitar solos, vigorous drumming, and powerful female vocals, the band stays true to their core sound while further expanding upon it.  

Infinite Reflection is about reflecting on the past, taking hold of the present, and redefining the future. Produced by Nick Bellmore (Dee Snider, Corpsegrinder, Ripper, Hatebreed, Toxic Holocaust, Many Eyes), it is much heavier and more progressive than Dystopica’s 2021 Perception and 2022 Deception. Each song is very distinct from one another, but together they tell a story of evolving through time that parallels the evolution of Dystopica’s sound.

Hailing from Connecticut, Dystopica is a metal band with a distinct sound blending heavy metal, hard rock, thrash metal and progressive metal.  Their music includes melodic, harmonizing guitar riffs and powerful female vocals.  The band's lineup is Becky Brideau on vocals, Rob Muller on guitar and Erich Bender on drums.  Joining Dystopica for live shows is Lucas Dellaporta on bass and Connor Sperry on guitar.  The band was formed by singer and songwriter Becky Brideau.

The geography speaks for itself. The bad guys are just kilometers away, across the river. We are the only international (or locals) with a brick and mortar office downtown, for them to go for help. No assistance from govt unless elderly, and the assistance they get is shit. Office safe from “normal” shelling (tank fire, most mortars). Glide bombs and attack drones are new since Ukrainians landed on other side and have beachhead. Quietly, that is a total massacre over there — poorly kept secret here. can’t do much about the big stuff … if we get hit with a glide bomb we’re fucked. I like our chances. Monday Wednesday and Friday the FREE STORE AT THE FRONT is open at our office. Basic foods medicines hygiene and winter clothes. Mondays we run bread into insanely dangerous places by the Antonivky bridge, do other stuff like that. Off the radar. For city admin. We are an important “off the books asset” for them.
