New Kids on the Block to Host Fan Convention in Chicago This Spring - NBC Chicago

Image
New Kids on the Block, the iconic quintet that dominated the pop charts and set the stage for a new wave of boy bands in the 1990's, is taking an audacious leap beyond the concert world and into the world of fan conventions, the group announced Monday. The band, which formed in 1984 before reuniting in 2007, says that the event will take place at the Rosemont Theatre and the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in suburban Rosemont from May 26 through May 28. The event will include a concert, panels, a "prom-themed" party and more, according to a press release. "We've done almost every event imaginable with our amazing Blockhead family over the last 15 years – from cruises to concerts to town hall meetings – but nothing quite like BLOCKCON," Donnie Wahlberg, one of the band's founding members, said in a statement. "Spending three full days with them, while hosting a convention crafted especially for them, is the perfect way to celebrate ...

Beale Street Music Festival: Lineup, tickets, return to Tom Lee Park - Commercial Appeal

Image
Show Caption Hide Caption Beale Street Music Fest 2022 Beale Street Music Fest 2022 Joe Rondone, Memphis Commercial Appeal The full lineup for Memphis in May's Beale Street Music Festival will be announced Monday. Set for May 5-7, the event will mark the festival's return to its historic home, Tom Lee Park, for the first time since 2019. The 2020 and 2021 festivals were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, while last year's event was held at the Fairgrounds at Liberty Park, while the Downtown riverfront park underwent redesign and reconstruction. The redesign already has necessitated or at least inspired one significant change. The three main music stages will remain, but the traditional Tom Lee "Blues Tent" is no more. Instead, blues acts will perform in the outdoor Handy Park amphitheater, in what has been dubbed the "Blues Stage on Beale."...

Woodside advances in Australia and Senegal, but stumbles on safety - Upstream Online

Image
Australia's Woodside Energy is forging ahead with its Scarborough and Pluto Train 2 liquefied natural gas projects in Western Australia, which both remain on track for start-up in 2026. This year, Woodside will focus on progressing secondary regulatory approvals, continuing fabrication of Pluto Train 2 and starting work on subsea installation and drilling operations, chief executive Meg O'Neill said on Monday. The operator is also forging ahead at its Sangomar phase one development offshore Senegal. Seven of the planned 23 wells have now been completed and Woodside now expects to complete subsea installation and relocate the floating production storage and offloading facility from Singapore, ahead of targeted first oil later this year. Woodside last year achieved record production, underpinned by great performance at its LNG assets, which achieved 98.5% reliability across the year. "A total of 9.4 million barrels of oil equivalent was processed via the Pluto-KGP Interc...

The Best Tubing Mascaras For Longer Lashes That Won't Smudge - BuzzFeed News

Image
Short, sparse and thin eyelashes can plague the best of us, but even if we dream of long feathery lashes, extensions and falsies have the potential to be more trouble than they're worth. Before you reach for your old reliable tube of mascara, know that there's a new sheriff in town: the tubing mascara.   Sometimes referred to as "lash extensions in a tube," these innovative formulations differ from traditional mascaras in that they are typically made up of polymers rather than pigmented oils or waxes, according to L'Oreal. True to their name, the polymers individually envelop lashes in order to build and extend beyond the natural lash length. Another reason why tubing mascaras are trending (the hashtag #tubingmascara has 29,000,000 views on TikTok alone) is that they tend to be especially long-wearing and resistant to smudging, sweat and flaking due to their very cohesive properties.   People with sensitive eye...

Marathons, heroic rescues, halftime shows — here's some of the incredible things pregnant women have done - Yahoo Life

Image
Beyoncé, Rihanna and Serena Williams and countless others have pushed themselves during pregnancy. (Photos: Getty) Earlier this month Rihanna commanded the attention of 113 million people around the world at the 2023 Super Bowl, using the moment in the spotlight to subtly announce her second pregnancy. She sang from high platforms, aced her modified low-impact dance routine and gave new meaning to do-it-all mama. For pregnant women who have been told to do less, slow down and focus on being a sacred vessel, the singer's hugely public performance was refreshing. "Rihanna, with all her grace, athleticism and growing belly, proves that a pregnant person has very few limitations, if they are thoughtful and in good physical condition," says Dr. Sherry Ross, an OB/GYN at Providence Saint John's Health Center in Santa Monica, Calif. And the superstar isn't alone in powering through a pregnancy. Below, a round-up of some of the incredible feats women have achieved while p...

"It's come to my attention that a fan may have been hurt at r show in Adelaide Australia possibly being hit by the microphone at the end of the show when I traditionally toss the mic to ...

A French onion pasta recipe that turns the soup into a one-pot meal - The Washington Post

Image
Carolyn Wong, who goes by @carolbeecooks on TikTok, is relatively new to the world of food blogging. It was a hobby she picked up during the pandemic as an outgrowth of her love of cooking and her desire to share that with others. Her style embraces spontaneity. "In general, I just kind of like using ingredients I have on hand, since I just do it for fun," Wong said in a phone interview from her home in Columbus, Ohio. "A lot of times I don't really do a lot of planning things out. I just kind of think of things throughout the day and see what I have to try to get some inspiration using ingredients I like." In January 2022, after recently enjoying homemade French onion soup, she was inspired to make a one-pot French onion pasta — "I make a lot of pasta dishes in general," Wong said — and a viral recipe was born. But Wong acknowledges she wasn't the first to come up with the idea. "There's definitely people that have thought of it before me...
