![]() ![]() While the food was good, what really makes this lounge better than other US lounges were the comfortable seats and relaxing environment. Overall, the Amex Centurion Lounge at Las Vegas McCarran was a nice lounge. Other airports in the US with a Centurion lounge include Charlotte, Dallas, Hong Kong, Houston, Los Angeles, New York (LGA), Miami, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco and Seattle. Lounges are planned for DEN, JFK, and LHR soon.Īmex Centurion lounges are complimentary for holders of the Amex Platinum or Amex Centurion cards and up to two (2) guests. The American Express Centurion lounges are not affiliated with any specific airline – they are for American Express card holders only. If you are arriving into McCarran, print a duplicate boarding pass to show at the front desk. The receptionist will ask to see your Amex card, ID and a boarding pass for same-day travel. The American Express Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas is open from 5:00 am – 12:00 am daily and is available for travelers arriving AND departing from the airport on the same date. If flying in from a Southwest flight which lands in Concourse C, you need to take a tram to Concourse D. Concourse D is much more quiet and calm than Concourse C. If you’re not flying from the D Gates, you can still get to the lounge without exiting security and going back through security. The Amex Centurion Lounge is located in Concourse D of Terminal 1 opposite Gate D1 at the Las Vegas McCarran Airport. We found the free hi speed wi-fi fast enough to use the internet.ĭesktop computers, tablets and printing/scanning services are available for guests. We liked that there was a waste basket by the door so you can open the door with a paper towel and toss it. The restrooms are clean and well maintained. We did not use the shower during our visit so we did not get a chance to check it out. The restroom and shower both have upscale L’Occitane amenities available. It is a small, fully enclosed room with a glass wall so parents can watch their children from outside. The family room was completely empty while we were there. We prefer when lounges offer portable water bottles we can take with us on our flight.Ī family room is located near the front desk and cafeteria but it is separated from the rest of the lounge. Self-serve filtered water was available but it was not very cold. The Amex Centurion Lounge offers its own signature cocktail menu by mixologist Jim Meehan and a selection of wines curated by its wine director Anthony Giglio. There is a full service bar in the center of the lounge. In fact, guests are not allowed to take food out of the lounge. The only negative is that there are no snacks to go. We sampled most of the offerings and had no complaints. In addition to the main dishes, there was fresh salad, fruits, vegetables as well as ham and Swiss sandwiches.ĭesserts included chocolate chip cookies, brownies and chocolate budino. The Amex Centurion Lounge Las Vegas website lists the current food and drinks menu. We arrived around 6 pm so we only tried the dinner menu. Lunch/dinner meal is served from 11:30 am-10 pm. Meals are served buffet style in the center of the lounge from a fixed menu. The food includes seasonal gourmet fare created by executive chef Scott Conant. The back end of the lounge is the most private part of the lounge with nooks, a large work table and three luxurious chaise loungers (which are usually occupied). There are tables, couches, nooks, privacy pods and chaise loungers. The Amex Centurion lounge has many different types of seating available. The only negative is that the lounge is somewhat cold. The lounge is very clean and employees are always walking around collecting used plates and glasses. The Centurion lounge has floor to ceiling shaded windows along the wall letting in natural light. There were many seats and outlets available. The Centurion Lounge is pretty quiet except for the dining area. The Amex Centurion Lounge in Las Vegas was really comfortable and relaxing with semi-private areas to relax in. Lounge access is not something that is super important to us since we usually do not get to airports early enough to spend much time in lounges but it is nice to have someplace to relax when we have a layover. American Express Centurion lounges are supposed to be really nice compared to other US airport lounges. We had read such great things about the Amex Centurion Lounge at the Las Vegas McCarran airport so we were excited to check it out. American Express will provide notice on and on the Amex Mobile App when locations reopen.** **2020 Update: In light of the spread of COVID-19 Amex has temporarily closed all The Centurion® Lounge locations, starting on Saturday, Mauntil further notice. ![]()

![]() ![]() She’s going to get the feeling that he’s going to be more of a burden than a benefit to her. When a guy is talking to a woman, he’s either going to be triggering her primal instinct of attraction or he’s not.įor example: If a guy is talking to a woman and he’s self-doubting and insecure and he’s a bit hesitant while he talks to her, he’s not going to be triggering her primal instinct of sexual attraction. Is he an emotionally strong man that she can rely on during challenging times or is he an emotionally weak man that she’s going to have to keep propping up, patting on the back and encouraging along as they go through challenging times in life?Īll of these assessments that a woman needs to make about a guy happen during a conversation.Does he have the potential to succeed in life one day or is he the sort of guy that’s going to get looked over for promotions at work?.Is he a confident man or is he insecure?.Does he get along well with others or does he get picked on or left out?.What’s more important to a woman is what sort of guy he is. However, a woman’s attraction for a man doesn’t work the same way.Ī woman’s primal instinct of attraction is not driven purely based on a guy looking good, being of a breeding age and being healthy. Our initial attraction to women and motivation to want to have sex with them isn’t any more complicated than that. It’s an instant attraction based on the woman looking physically attractive, having a fully developed body, of breeding age and being healthy. What is driving the attraction is the primal instinct for a man to want to plant his seed so he can then pass his genes on to the next generation. The reason why is that a man’s primal instinct of attraction (which is still present even though we’re in a modern civilized society) is about wanting to plant his seed inside of a physically attractive woman who has a fully developed body, of breeding age and is also healthy.Įven though we might want to get to know the woman and have a great relationship with her and go on dates and go watch a movie together and go on a holiday together, etc., all that stuff is after the fact. ![]() We can easily feel attracted to the woman and be motivated enough to want to talk to her, have sex with her and even get into a relationship with her simply based on her physical appearance. So, how does a man actually trigger a woman’s primal instinct and her feel sexually attracted to him? How does he trigger that desire in her?įirst, you need to understand that a man’s attraction for a woman works differently to a woman’s attraction for a man.įor a man, we can look at a woman and feel what I call Insta-attraction. Triggering Her Primal, Instinctive Need to Have Sex That is a primal instinct that triggers automatically when you see high-calorie food.Īnother primal instinct is the need to have sex so a man and a woman can create offspring and pass on their genes. You might also start to feel a bit hungry. We humans all have primal instincts that trigger automatically without us having to think about it.įor example: With the primal instinct of needing to eat food, if you see high calorie foods your mouth will start to produce extra saliva in preparation to eat the food. Making a woman want you sexually is a very easy thing to do. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their pride and dignity makes them the kind of person others naturally look up to, and are always first to offer advice and counsel.

Instead, with Venus slowing down and about to turn retrograde, they will soon start moving closer. It is while this is still in the spotlight that there is a chance to simply be aware.įor Venus to have returned to Leo over a month before Mercury returned should mean that they have no chance of catching up. As the North Node spends its last full day in your career sector and the South Node its last in your home and family sector they are vying for your attention as they have done every day for the last 18 months. It is going to be a delightful day.It has been a few days since the Moon crossed the lunar nodes for the last time while they are policing your work/life balance, long enough to ensure the emotional fog of war is gone but recent enough so that you can still see clearly both sides of life's fence.

Let's have some comparisons to back it up.Įlementalist and Naturalist can both build into simply creating their source material (flames, plants, trees with Arches), so they basically avoid the problem entirely. So, why is at at disadvantage compared to other abilities which deal with a specific type of landscape? (which are Elementalist, Naturalist and Earthscribe) (not necessarily even by humans.) Maybe something like "Artimancer" would be more fitting? It deals with mechanisms and tools which were artificially made, that is the core idea. It is called "Humanist" but doesn't deal with "humans". However.īy the way, this is also the only ability with a name that strikes me as. The idea is beautiful, and for the most part I love the way magic in this game is implemented. Like, an Earthscribe feels really good fighting in an area full of rocks. And I get the design philosophy behind it: the idea that a particular kind of Mystic should feel stronger in the enviroment which is rich in particular element. They are both meant to take advantage of particular types of objects to interfuse with. ![]() This is going to be kind of lengthy, because I am going to delve a bit into my perception of balance of the Mystic, explain why I think a rework of this particular thing is needed and so on and so forth.įirst, let's establish a fact: there are currently two Mystic abilities the wiki considers "not typically strong".

Her final aria closes the show. Alvarez (in the title role), has three arias, the first of which is the longest and most difficult introductory aria in memory. She soars throughout, but especially at the end, when she makes a most magical transformation." - Pat Launer, Times of San Diego "Alvarez’s soprano is rich, full and supple, with stratospheric top-notes. Alvarez made us abundantly aware of why the public was in awe of her towering talents." - James Sohre, Opera Today The rich, pulsing tone was absolutely even throughout the wide-ranging part, and her alluring vocal presence anchored the performance with a poised, polished musical presence. Her pliable spinto soprano easily encompassed every demand of three wide-ranging arias. In the title role, Elaine Alvarez made a stunning impression. "The music making was superlative, starting with the vocals. Alvarez is vocally convincing, even in the high register.” - Barbara Röder, “The Cuban American soprano Elaine Alvarez portrays the heartrending, suffering Ethiopian king's daughter Aida, who is torn between her love for her fatherland and her love for the enemy Radamès.It is an impossible love, a silent suffering of fate, which Verdi demands from his Aida with enormous emotional outbursts. She proved to be a passionate expert on duality, light and shadow, leaving all over the stage the incessant contradictions of the amorous feelings she faced.” - Deashelle, “The highly demanding interpretation of Aida's acrobatic score starred Elaine Alvarez, who fully engaged, embodied the main character's theatrical complexities with dramatic balance and breathtaking lyricism. A bit shy at the beginning, she affirms herself scene by scene, emerging in Act III and above all in the duet with Amonasro, where she shows off an ample expressive range.” - Jean-Marc Onkelinx, L’Opera Magazine “The Cuban-American soprano, Elaine Alvarez, frequently seen on the stage of the Opera in Liege, demonstrates her exceptional vocal power and embodies Aida with a rare intensity.

![]() "Moxie" doesn't have the satirical bite of, say, "Mean Girls," nor does it have a particularly punk rock energy, but Poehler does an admirable job keeping things moving. Lucy, so central to the film’s early sequences, takes a backseat, at least in terms of screen time, once the movement is up and running. Nineties riot grrrl was criticized for not being inclusive enough, something Poehler's character admits, and so "Moxie" is a sometimes-awkward attempt to course-correct. The attempt to make the feminism of “Moxie” intersectional is well-meaning (and necessary), but leads to some inadvertent tokenism in the execution. Tamara Chestna and Dylan Meyer adapted Mathieu's book for the screen, and the script tries to do too much on occasion, as evidenced by the film's slightly bloated run-time. The movement sweeps the school, and causes a rift between Vivian and her rule-following best friend Claudia. There's CJ ( Josie Totah), a trans girl angry that she's not allowed to audition for the role of Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. There's Kaitlynn ( Sabrina Haskett), a girl sent home for wearing a tank top. There's Kiera ( Sydney Park) and Amaya ( Anjelika Washington), two talented athletes infuriated that their championship soccer team doesn't get as much support as the lack-luster boys' football team. There's Lucy, fired up by the possibilities of expanding her protest. Girls gather together, almost by osmosis. The zine, calling out the boorish behavior of boys and the sexist administration, immediately makes waves. She decides to put out her own and she calls it "Moxie." It's the 'zines that grab Vivian's attention. Vivian's mother (Amy Poehler) is a cool mom (although not like the grotesque "cool mom" Poehler played in " Mean Girls"), and one night Vivian discovers her mother's punk-rock past. Basically "boys will be boys." Vivian and her best friend Claudia ( Lauren Tsai) are not "trouble-makers" like this, but something about Lucy's fearlessness inspires Vivian. When Lucy reports Mitchell's harassment to the principal (a soothing-voiced Marcia Gay Harden), the principal warns Lucy not to say the word "harassed" and to just suck it up and ignore him. Her cluelessness is challenged when a new girl named Lucy ( Alycia Pascual-Peña) makes waves, first by challenging the summer reading list, and then by standing up to the menacing cocky football-player bully, Mitchell Wilson ( Patrick Schwarzenegger). Vivian finds it annoying, but also doesn't have any sense she could push back. These dynamics are particularly toxic in the high school in "Moxie," where "rankings" are published on social media every year, rankings like "Best Rack," "Most Bangable," etc. High school is high school, no matter the era. Directed by Amy Poehler, "Moxie" is both an awkward act of nostalgia for '90s activism and an attempt to push the riot grrrl legacy into the future. In "Moxie," a current-day teenage girl named Vivian ( Hadley Robinson) ignites a raging feminist movement in her high school, after discovering a treasure trove of riot grrrl memorabilia in her mother's trunk. ![]() With a talented young cast, "Moxie" takes its inspiration from the riot grrrl era of the '90s, from Bikini Kill (the punk rock feminist band most associated with riot grrrl), and, most of all, from the riot grrrl 'zines: self-created, self-designed, photo-copied, these 'zines spread across the country. High school is difficult for girls, but it's difficult for boys, too (at least girls aren't told "girls don't cry" from the moment they're born.) Girls, though, have their own specific challenges navigating a conformist world, and that's the world portrayed in "Moxie," based on a YA novel by Jennifer Mathieu. Those "dares" sound so simple, but they're not, particularly in high school. I got a proposition goes something like this:ĭare ya to cry right out loud." - Bikini Kill, "Hey Girlfriend" ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() By the end, you’ll have a good idea of which AI logo maker is right for you.
