DojoBoom, Thousand Oaks: See 5 reviews, articles, and 6 photos of DojoBoom, ranked No.18 on Tripadvisor among 18 attractions in Thousand Oaks. But, most of the staff are really great! Also, if you go during a weekend it can get VERY crowded, which takes away from some of the enjoyment, so either go early or during the week. The only drawbacks are the hourly cost, which is pretty expensive and can easily cost over $50 for one hour if you have multiple people jumping, and there are a couple of older staff that will yell at you for the littlest infringement, like being too excited. This place is the perfect place for any active child (or adult) and will leave every guest ready for a nap by the time they leave. This is all complimented by the insanely cool murals covering the walls, making ever attraction an Insta worthy photo spot. I am a child and I am very against masking children. And just when you thought you conquered it all you look up to see the inflated floor and extra long extended trampolines, where you can practice tricks. 1:30 Foam pits, trapezes, a complex obstacle course and a handful of other athletic and recreational features have been a recipe for success for a new Thousand Oaks business at the Janss.

If that wasn’t enough there’s also the frequently redesigned parkour course and jousting battle beams, accompanied by the aerial slicks and giant swinging ring.

![]() ![]() In this illustration, and all the other illustrations, notice how the arrows go into the spaces. Now look at the first illustrations 1A-C. If you can, try to introduce furniture (corner cabinets, chests, sofa tables, round drop-leaf tables, etc) or decorative elements (folding screens, artificial potted trees, large urns on pedestals, etc) into the corner(s) of the room to cut off the room’s corners as the corner fireplace does. You want to place furniture so sofas talk to chairs, which promotes easy conversation while seated in the room. You want to place your furniture so its angles match / mirror the angle of the fireplace and how it extends out into the room. All or part of your furniture placement should be directed toward the hearth. When it comes to decorating a room with a corner fireplace, I think one, or all three of the following things should be taken into consideration… I know that once you look at the illustrations you will be inspired, and it will be a snap to arrange your furniture and create a space that is a warm and inviting place to be in. I hope that through this post your uncertainties are erased. Having to arrange furniture around it might be a daunting experience for the amateur decorator. One of those different kinds of features is a fireplace in the corner of a room. E.g one sofa parallel to the main wall and one sofa facing the fireplace wall to create an L-shape.Nine different way of arranging furniture around a FOCAL POINT in the corner of a roomĮvery so often a person comes across a house with characteristics that are not common-everyday. But there are two obvious options, either make the corner fireplace the focal point by angling the majority of furniture to the corner or, our preferred option, choose a main wall that adjoins the corner fireplace and angle your furniture towards that, leaving the fireplace side of the room open. Your arrangement will of course depend on the size, shape, and amount of furniture you want to fit in the room. However, we see this lack of rigid format as a blessing and one of the big pluses of having a corner fireplace is that you can often be more flexible with your layout. How do you arrange a room with a corner fireplace?Ĭorner fireplaces are often seen as tricky when deciding on a room's layout as they don't give you that very obvious focal point you get with a more traditional fire. Plus, with these designs, you can skip the expense and hassle of having a traditionally log burner installed. And they are idea for small living rooms, or any small space, as they tuck into a corner without the need for any extra space for the flue. ![]() Bio fireplaces, which have the traditional log burner look but are run on gas, don't need a chimney or a flue so you can add them to any room, perfect for adding instant coziness to your home. Notice anything different about this wood burner? It's flueless. The grey wall, rather than just being painted with a flat matte, has a natural texture to it, designed to imitate polished concrete so it stands out in the room but isn't too much of a stark contrast against the white walls. Now we know we aren't all fans of a feature wall, and they have got a bit of a bad rep in the world of interiors, but in certain circumstances, they can work, and this is one of them. Take inspiration from this Scandi-inspired living room and make the fire more of a focal point by painting the surround in a contrasting color to the rest of the walls. ![]() You still get all the benefits of a roaring fire without the bulk of a more traditional fireplace. Wood burner ideas are also a good option if you have inherited an outdated corner fireplace – strip it down and replace it with a more minimalistic stove. A freestanding stove can work just as well in a corner as a more traditional fireplace and can be tucked into the smallest of spaces so an even better option if you are tight on space. ![]() ![]() ![]() Zeus asked Persephone where she wanted to live, and she honestly answered in front of her mother and the Gods that she wanted to live with her husband, Hades. Persephone knew what this meant, but she still willingly ate a few of the seeds Before bringing Persephone back to the surface, Hades offered her to eat the seeds of the pomegranate fruit. Zeus and Hades finally conceded to Demeter’s demands. Upon hearing of this, Demeter threatened to never return to her duties until her Daughter was brought back to her. She refused to eat anything from the Underworld, knowing that it meant forever being bound to Hades and his realm.ĭemeter later found out that Zeus conspired with his brother Hades to have Persephone as his wife. In the Underworld, Persephone would feel alienated from everyone, greatly missing her Mother, but found meaning in her new role as Queen of the Underworld and knew she had work to do. Meanwhile, while she was absent from her duties as Goddess of Agriculture, the fields started to wither, while mankind suffered from famine and colder temperatures. She scoured the Earth in search of her daughter, but could not find her. He kidnapped Persephone and took her to the Underworld.Īs soon as Demeter heard of this, she rushed the Olympus pleading for help, but none wanted to help her, and she was confused as to why. It turns out it was the Ruler of the Underworld, Hades. From that flower rose a chariot with a dark shadow riding it. It happened one day as Persephone was playing in the field with her Nymph friend when she spotted a Narcissus flower. The most famous story of Persephone stems from Hades kidnapping her and taking her to the Underworld. Persephone was the daughter of Zeus the Ruler of Olympus and Demeter, the Goddess of Agriculture. We are here to delve deeper into what it means to wield such a tattoo. Inspired by statues, paintings, poems, and operas, some have even decided to pick a Persephone tattoo as a tribute to the Goddess as their inspiration. In Mythology she was an important figurehead, to which artists tried to bring tribute. You might have heard of Persephone as the wife of Hades, the Queen of the Underworld, and also the Goddess of Spring. ![]() ![]() In Greek Mythology, we always hear the deeds of the Big Three, Zeus the Ruler of Heavens, Poseidon the Ruler of the Seas, and Hades, the Ruler of the Underworld.īut in this post, we focus on someone just as important in the Pantheon as the leaders. ![]() ![]() ![]() Suddenly, they’re in opposite perspectives as they were in part 1, both now having lost a spouse and rallying for their sibling.

Now that that’s accomplished we need to ramp up and figure out how to get through the next round. “We were just trying to come out here and play really well and certainly get through the first round was the goal. “I can’t say we really talked a whole lot about goals to be honest,” Bottcher said. “Laura’s made a lot of key shots when I’ve got us in a little bit of trouble and we’re managing to score points in those situations and still control the scoreboard.”īottcher/Ferguson (6-1) will also be in the playoffs, but their final pool-play contest, versus Sherry Middaugh/John Epping (2-5) ended after press time. We’ve had a couple really good games and we’ve had a few where we’ve caught a few breaks and made a lot of big shots. “I don’t think we’ve had a game where we threw everything together and played perfect. “We’re making shots, we’re making a lot of really key shots,” Walker said. What’s been the key to Crocker and Walker’s success? We wanted to make sure that we kept some intensity out there in that game and treated it just like a playoff game and any time we missed I thought we bounced back.” “We knew we had a spot in the playoffs locked up, but win and we got first place, which meant hammer and such in the playoffs. “We definitely wanted to win that game,” Crocker said. A single in seven gave Crocker and Walker a 7-6 lead and they secured the victory after Ferguson’s final stone in eight was heavy and resulted in a steal of two in a battle of unbeatens.

![]() Note: All players whose signings remain unconfirmed by the team are denoted by an asterisk (*). So although the start of training camp remains more than two months away, we can start to take a look at who will comprise the Bills’ roster for the upcoming season. Nonetheless, most if not all of Buffalo's 2014 depth chart will be made up of players who were either already on the roster, drafted by the team or signed as a free agent. There could be more veteran releases in store, however, while some of those undrafted rookies, as their signings have not yet been announced by the team, might only be coming to Buffalo on a tryout basis during rookie minicamp. Should all nine of those undrafted free agents sign contracts with the team, the Bills will reach the 90-man roster limit. Tuesday, but the team is also reportedly set to sign former University of Minnesota cornerback Mike Carter (who went undrafted in 2013 and has not played an NFL game), according to Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun. The Buffalo Bills’ official roster stood at 80 players as of 6 a.m. With the 2014 NFL draft now complete and undrafted free agent signings also mostly taken care of, the Buffalo Bills’ 90-man preseason roster is largely set. This is something the O-line will have to learn as the regular season progresses.There's plenty of new talent for head coach Doug Marrone and quarterback EJ Manuel to work with on the Buffalo Bills' 2014 roster. Communication along the offensive line is extremely important, and this does not happen overnight. The biggest concern for this group is the fact that the expected starting five have not played a single snap together. He played the position well enough and will be the backup center/guard. The coaching staff tried him out at center the final two games to see if he could handle the responsibilities of the position. This forced Urbik out of the starting lineup and down the depth chart. Legursky and Urbik battled for a spot over the final two weeks of preseason after the Bills decided to move Erik Pears inside to guard. There weren't too many surprises along the offensive line with Doug Legursky being the biggest name cut. Starters: Cordy Glenn, Chris Williams, Eric Wood, Erik Pears, Seantrel Hendersonīench: Cyril Richardson, Kraig Urbik, Chris Hairston, Cyrus KouandjioĬut: Jared Wheeler, Antoine McClain, Doug Legursky This opens up a roster spot that now can be used at another position for additional depth. ![]() The other positive with the Orton signing is that the team doesn't necessarily need a third quarterback because of the type of player Orton is. They addressed his absence with the likes of Thad Lewis, Jeff Tuel and Matt Leinart. Last year the team tried to bring in a veteran when it signed Kevin Kolb, but he suffered a concussion in preseason that ended his time with the Bills. ![]() This was the best move the organization could have made and was long overdue. The Bills then decided to bring in a quality veteran quarterback with the signing of Kyle Orton. The team wanted to start fresh and cut the two quarterbacks listed above on Friday and Saturday, as well as Thad Lewis and Dennis Dixon earlier this week. The coaches were not happy with the quarterback position this preseason, specifically the backup quarterbacks on the roster. ![]() ![]() ![]() IPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad iPad, iPad Mini 2, iPad Mini 3, iPad Mini 4, 9.

I listened to it while taking my dog for a nighttime walk in the park near my home in Wyoming. It’s a horrific, deeply unpleasant story, made even more chilling by the steady cadence of Sharma’s voice. “Zombie,” which Oates later expanded into a novella, is told from the perspective of a college-aged, Dahmer-esque psychopath who performs lobotomies on kidnapped young men in an attempt to create a docile sexual slave. So, on the recommendation of a friend, I decided to go down a more literary route and listen to Akil Sharma read Joyce Carol Oates’ 1994 short story “Zombie” on the New Yorker Fiction Podcast. The barrage of ads for Dahmer did, however, pique my interest in fictional representations of the Milwaukee Monster, who committed the murder and dismemberment of seventeen men and boys between 19. The center of the cannibalism/sexual violence/obnoxious theater kid pep Venn diagram is not a place I want to dwell. But I’m not going to watch Ryan Murphy’s cannibal show. Serial killers, their origin stories, and the mark they’ve left on this country’s collective psyche, are interesting let’s not pretend otherwise. I very much enjoyed Mindhunter and The Silence of the Lambs and Hannibal (both the show and the extremely stupid movie). It’s not that I don’t understand the public fascination with serial killers and America’s storied serial killer heyday. ![]() ![]() I’m sure it’s entertaining, but I’m not going to watch it. I’m not going to watch the Jeffrey Dahmer show. ![]() No doubt the novel is a triumphant work of art, and indeed a cool feminist thriller, but it is one that haunts my dreams. In fact, if you haven’t read it, I don’t want to say anything else about it, except that you should only attempt if you have a stronger stomach than I. I tease her about it all the time, but I still fell for it when she recommended that I read Susanna Moore’s “cool feminist thriller” In the Cut, which turned out to be a terrifying, upsetting, gut-punch of a book with a devastating ending that I will not give away. When we were in college, my best friend convinced me to go see a movie because it was a “cool indie comedy” and it turned out to be Hard Candy, in which a pedophile and a teenager meet and one of them tortures and humiliates the other in a way that is kind of brilliant in retrospect but also deeply awful and disturbing to watch. Look, life is hard enough-why would I go out of my way to have more negative feelings? I know some people find it cathartic, but I just find it unpleasant. Here are the books that actually scared the Lit Hub staff, this year and in years past-pick them up if you dare, but leave some space in your freezer just in case. The following books, on the other hand, just might. Sure, you could go read Frankenstein this All Hallows’ Eve, and while it’s still great, it probably won’t make you jump. Yep, it’s spooky season, and the perfect time of year to read something scary-but as you know, horror can come from some unexpected places.
