Fast forward to the video shoot for their single, Helena, and each of the guys got to keep their costumes. Naturally, for a band as theatrical as My Chemical Romance, this meant turning them into their stage clothes. Getting this look really hinges on two things - the suit, and the willingness to embrace how funky the suit actually is. For Gerard, there was one constant uniform - black jeans, a black t-shirt of some kind, cherry red Doc Martens, and a black leather jacket. This uniform was constant, to be fair, because the guys were all functionally homeless at the time, living in their van and touring basically non-stop. I have heard horror stories about the state of that leather jacket by the time it finally went the way of the Dodo, but I’ll spare you that nightmare.

Way was born in Summit, New Jersey, on April 9, 1977,[3] the son of Donna Lee (née Rush) and Donald Way. He is of Italian and Scottish ancestry.[4] Raised in Belleville, New Jersey, alongside brother Mikey Way, he first began singing publicly in the fourth grade, when he played the role of Peter Pan in a school musical production. What struck me most, at the tender age of 10, was that I had never really encountered a sub-culture before. Finally, I was introduced to a world outside of the perfectly packaged pop that I was the target market for. I was always a weird kid (in the least embarrassing cliché way of saying that) and something about that picture of this beautiful, black haired, makeup-ed man stuck with me for the rest of my life.

Early life

He’s not yet penned anything as thrillingly menacing as his closing cover of the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Snakedriver, although snappy, arty, swaggering anthems such as Brother and No Shows get arms swaying like a 70s glam rock gig. “My brain arguing with me over whether I should grow my hair, cut it, or dye it a bright color,” she posted on Twitter, sending fans into a frenzy with suggestions over what the singer’s next look should be. Many artists find they lose their muse when they get clean, but MCR would suffer no such fate thanks to the classic crossover album they were about to unleash.

As a solo artist, Way performs with a live band to provide additional instrumentation and vocals. As I transitioned through so many adolescent stages and as I probably move through multitudes of twentysomething cliches, I feel like Gerard Way's constantly changing looks move right along with me. As a result, plenty of promos have hit the internet including the one below where she’s sporting her new red do.

The cropped, platinum blonde that Gerard sported was (apparently) an effort at making him look more "ill" for the role of The Patient in the life changing "Welcome to the Black Parade" music video. If you didn't know (why wouldn't you know), "The Black Parade" had a complete storyline to it, that followed The Patient coming to terms with his coming death. But for me, Gerard's haircut brought with it a whole new inversion of my personal standards of style. As previously I judged and abhorred anyone with short hair, dreaming constantly of finding a guy with straight ebony hair to sweep me off my feet — now I was opened up to a new... Aging can be a difficult reality for people to accept, which is why so many dye their gray hair when it starts coming in. Anyone who regularly colors their hair understands how much time and money goes into the constant upkeep, and the entire process can quickly become frustrating.

It’s also a raw display of five dudes that knew they were gonna be a big freaking deal, and simply didn’t have the resources to show that off yet. It’s a rough record, full of stuff not being in key, including Gerard’s voice a handful of times, and really garbage mixing, and yet there’s a certain charm about it that’s unavoidable. Everybody has that one celebrity crush who overtakes every aspect of their being from ages 12 to 16 (16 being the age when you [should] realize that there's a reason you never see adult emos), and mine (like most people's in the 2000s) was Gerard Way. The man, the icon, the legend who has only been pipped for the post of "favorite man to ever exist in my heart" by David Bowie. Not only did My Chemical Romance fuel every aspect of my emo personality and never-ending need for music that screamed at my angst along with me, but Gerard's specific style through each album and era was and is iconic.

In another shot from this same shoot, you can see Gerard wearing a simple pair of black Converse Chuck Taylors, which is a look I have always been partial to myself, but I know plenty of people hate. It’s the kind of look that says “I tried, but this just so isn’t me,” and not only do I enjoy it aesthetically, but I relate to it in a big way. No recommendations for how to get this look, since I’m sure you could throw it together with what’s already in your wardrobe, but the next time you feel like overdressing when going out, maybe tone it back a bit like Gerard. Each of the band’s members is individually one of the most creative guys in whatever room they’re in, and that is hardly more true than when taking a look at their frontman, Gerard Way. Gerard and I have a few things in common, not the least of which is that we both love comics and come from New Jersey. But the thing that really drew me to Gerard was his style, and the way he carried himself.

Gerard Way review – goodbye to emo

This album meant the world to me, mainly because it meant that I got to watch "the band that saved my life" live for the first time. Of course, by this time I already had numerous My Chemical Romance t-shirts, as well as a lot of other useless merchandise, including an MCR pillow and most importantly, a Black Parade jacket. This uniform is probably the most recognizable of all the band's "looks" over time and an obvious shout out to those worn by The Beatles on the Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club album cover. US rock star Gerard Way previously fronted the popular American rock band My Chemical Romance, whose darker anthems found favour with emo fans. However, recent solo debut Hesitant Alien saw him significantly change tack, a shorter haircut reflecting his new songs’ mix of David Bowie, Suede and Britpop. So, something that I should probably own up to from now - this is actually only part one of two articles discussing Gerard’s style evolution.

In part two, we’re going to dive into Gerard’s post-MCR stylistic choices, including his life in the world of writing comic books for DC. Before then, though, I’ll leave you with this - my picks for the four best My Chemical Romance songs, one from each of their major studio albums (in order). It’s definitely more of a Halloween costume look than anything particularly wearable on a daily basis, but still a bit of fun to play around with regardless.

Near the end of, and just after the end of, the Black Parade touring cycle, Gerard adopted a uniform that has become known as his “Teacher Gerard” aesthetic among the band’s fans. It’s kind of easy to see why - black vest, white dress shirt, striped tie, black jeans...it’s all very academic looking. What sets it apart from something that you might see Jon wearing, for example, is the kind of haphazardness of it all. The collar, for example, has started to curl, and the tie knot is slightly lopsided and definitely a bit loose. The belt buckle is huge, which is definitely not the kind of thing you’d expect to see with a shirt and tie.

Stylistically, though, there’s a look that Gerard donned near the end of the touring cycle for the record that I think is worth checking out. As Martin explained on Instagram, he starts by using a color extractor to remove any remaining artificial color. Then, leaving the gray roots intact, he bleaches the rest of the head to prep hair for the new silver color. The band’s first record, I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love, has perhaps one of the angstiest album titles of all time.

Gerard and My Chemical Romance rose meteorically from the underground in 2005 when their Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge album catapulted them up the charts and into larger and larger venues on both sides of the Atlantic. But it wasn’t just the apocalyptic pop-punk anthems that appealed to the nations’ teenagers – it was the band’s frontman. It’s all geared towards making the musical volte-face less difficult than it could be. Although the sound system – cranked up to compete with the screaming crowd – renders some of the songs slightly shrill, the trickiest bit might be reaching an older crowd beyond the MCR fanbase.

A Colorist Explains How He Created This Low-Maintenance Gray Hair Transformation

Somewhere in the move from elementary school to high school, I completely forgot about My Chemical Romance — until a year later, anyway. When I started dating the only goth in my year, I had to learn hurriedly about the music that came with black lipstick and a dog collar. Obviously, as a proud member of the MTV generation, there is no way that "Helena" was the first music video that I ever saw, but it is the first that I properly remember.

With that album came a new look, fed by Gerard’s fertile imagination and all part of his driving creativity. Copying someone so individual is hard because the plagiarism is so clear, but the power of Gerard’s image and personality was too strong and dozens of copycats were soon spawned. The band - completed by guitarist Frank Iero - recently fired drummer Michael Pedicone, and earlier this week announced his replacement, Jarrod Alexander, who joins them for the rest of their current US tour.

Gerard Way beat depression with solo album

The My Chemical Romance singer decided having his hair styled into a long bright red streak was the best way to rebel against what was expected of him as a musician over 30 years old. “Dangerous” was a word used to describe them here, in part because they were so avante-garde, and in part because they’d only just started to see real mainstream success with their second studio album, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. It’s a classic among the genre, and its cover is even graced by some of Gerard’s artwork.

Just as we can (and love) to track Bowie's progression through artistic phases, the same can be done for my childhood hero. French actor Gérard Depardieu will stand trial in October on charges of sexual assault brought by two women who claim the Green Card and Cyrano de Bergerac star assaulted them on set of the film The Green Shutters in 2021, the Paris Public Prosecutor said on Monday. "My clients with natural gray hair come two or three times a year, instead of every few weeks," Martin tells Allure. It's an appealing degree of flexibility, with the added bonus of letting you lean into your natural gray. At the time, the singer debated between an array of colors including pink, slime green, Gerard Way red and lilac. While she went with the purple hue at first, thanks to a new Saturday Night Live promo, it appears she may have given one of the other shades a try.

Gérard Depardieu to Stand Trial Over Sexual Assault Allegations

Way is the co-creator of Peni Parker, an alternative version of Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe. Last April, in an in-depth report published by French investigative news website Médiapart, 13 women accused Depardieu of sexually inappropriate behavior. He is also the target of a complaint from Spain, where journalist and writer Ruth Baza has accused him of having raped her in 1995. The Paris Public Prosecutor made no mention of allegations related to the 2014 film shoot.

May Death Never Stop You: The Eras of My Chemical Romance As Told By Gerard Way’s Style Evolution The Sound of Style

When they released The Black Parade in 2006, My Chemical Romance became an arena band and, turning their back on any semblance of their hardcore roots, they embraced a whole new audience, as well as a ‘Green Day meets Pink Floyd’ sound. Of course, with their notoriety and ‘emo’ image, they picked up no small amount of haters, along with the archetypal cred thieves, taking underground music and packaging it for the teen market. Gerard found his band hated in the hardcore and metal underground, and they were still far from being household names. The New Jersey-born self-professed comic nerd gave not just music but ideology to a generation of goth/punk/emo kids who ached for affirmation.

With the odd recreational drink not suiting him, he decided to abstain completely. He was clean, sure, but he’d still ‘been there, man’; he understood the meaning of ‘lowest ebb’. When it comes to affordable ways to achieve this look, the only thing that you might have any difficulty finding is a jacket similar to Gerard’s, as the t-shirt, jeans, and Docs are all pretty relatively available. The closest I’ve been able to find is this example from Milwaukee Leather, which comes in at about $140. Gerard’s jacket’s primary standout features are those rounded lapels and the button front - everything else is generally pretty standard. Way co-created and wrote the comic mini-series The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and The Umbrella Academy,[1][2] the latter of which was later adapted into a Netflix series released in 2019.

For the jacket, we have the AllSaints Leather Biker Jacket in black, naturally. While I can’t be 100% sure this is actually a variation of the jacket worn by Gerard, especially since Lewis Leathers does offer some similar looking jackets of their own, it is definitely as close as one is likely to get. Sure, at $373, it isn’t exactly cheap, but a similar one from Lewis Leathers would cost you just shy of $1k, so all things considered, it might still be a value prop in its own right. Before you find yourself in a panic, don’t worry - I’m not gonna recommend to you the best way to replicate their costumes from this era. Still, the concept behind what is largely regarded as their best record, The Black Parade, is a dark and dour one that is equally uplifting - if you can get to the end of it. It centers around a character known only as “The Patient,” a man dying of cancer who is greeted in the moments that he passes by a marching band and a black parade (hence the title).

Another assault case against Depardieu involving allegations of two acts of rape dating back to 2018 brought by actress Charlotte Arnould is still making its way through the French courts. French prosecutors dismissed a different complaint, filed by French actress Hélène Darras, in January, citing the statute of limitations for the alleged crime, which Darras said occurred on the set of Fabien Onteniente’s film Disco in 2007. Multiple media sources, including Agence France-Presse (AFP) and BFM-TV, reported that the 75-year-old actor has been accused by two separate women of sexual assault. The alleged incidents reported occurred in 2021 — when Depardieu was shooting French film Les Violets vertes (The Green Shutters) — and in 2014 during the making of TV movie Le Magicien et les Siamois (The Magician and the Siamese).

On stage, he was a dynamo of confidence and self-awareness, bending all the right rules and pushing all the right buttons. Off stage, he was just a normal dude, no more or less bombastic than the next guy, and who really just loved making whatever kind of art he could make. Something about that was easy to connect with, and his clothes over the years definitely tell much of that story. Without further ado, let’s get into some of those clothes by taking a look at the most iconic outfits from each of the band’s different eras. The Black Parade was the album that cemented My Chemical Romance in my heart and gave the band a much bigger audience. Welcome to the Black Parade reached number one in the UK and I remember my poor emo heart burning with rage as people who bullied me played the song on their Sony Ericsson phones.

As we kicked off a brand new year, the singer took to Twitter to debate what 2019 could hold in store for her next creative color—with some possible help from Gerard Way. A charisma-dripping showman to the last, Way drops to his knees like Elvis and – when he plucks a girl from the crowd to play tambourine and leaves her with a bear hug – he gives one young fan a moment to remember for the rest of her life. As MCR’s popularity skyrocketed during Three Cheers, his drug and alcohol addiction had already reached an unworkable level and he decided to get clean.

The following day, the singer revealed that she went with lilac in a totally cheeky way. The group also discussed their exposure to fan fiction - where a group's admirers write fantasist stories involving the band, in most cases with some sexual content - admitting they aren't fans.

She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one.” —The New York Times Book ReviewThe House on Mango Street is one of the most cherished novels of the last fifty years. Readers from all walks of life have fallen for the voice of Esperanza Cordero, growing up in Chicago and inventing for herself who and what she will become. It means sadness, it means waiting.”Told in a series of vignettes—sometimes heartbreaking, sometimes joyous—Cisneros’s masterpiece is a classic story of childhood and self-discovery and one of the greatest neighborhood novels of all time. Like Sinclair Lewis’s Main Street or Toni Morrison’s Sula, it makes a world through people and their voices, and it does so in language that is poetic and direct. This gorgeous coming-of-age novel is a celebration of the power of telling one’s story and of being proud of where you’re from. As the vignettes progress, Esperanza matures and develops her own perspective of the world around her.

Sandra Cisneros

The House on Mango Street is considered a modern classic of Chicano literature and has been the subject of numerous academic publications in Chicano studies and feminist theory. The book has sold more than 6 million copies, has been translated into over 20 languages and is required reading in many schools and universities across the United States. Cisneros, like Esperanza, dreamed as a child of having her own house, and she was able to achieve this dream through her literary successes. But the house she now owns in San Antonio, Texas has caused some controversy because of its bright purple color, which Cisneros chose herself.

Esperanza eventually enters puberty and changes sexually, physically, and emotionally, beginning to notice and enjoy male attention. She befriends Sally, an attractive girl who wears heavy makeup and provocative clothing, and who is physically abused and forbidden from leaving her home by her strongly religious father. Sally's and Esperanza's friendship is compromised when Sally ditches Esperanza for a boy at a carnival, leaving Esperanza to be sexually assaulted by a group of men. She recounts other instances of assault she has faced, like an older man forcibly kissing her at her first job.

The house itself plays a very important part, especially in how the narrator reacts to it. She is fully aware that she does not belong there, everything about it is described in negative terms delineating everything that it isn't versus what it is. It's by knowing where she doesn't fit that she knows to where she might fit.[58] It is similar to the concept of light and dark. We know that darkness is the absence of light, in this case her identity exists outside of this house on mango street.

She is utterly desperate to find a man to marry her, to escape the beatings and maltreatment she gets from her father at home. This ‘vicious cycle’ is seen when Esperanza goes and tells Sally's mother that her daughter is in a garden with three boys and the mother completely disregards this, her mother doesn't seem surprised or worried. Her mother cares for her cuts and bruises allowing for the violence to perpetuate,[21] both mother and daughter give excuses to the father. The bare fact that Sally marries at such a young age to a man that ends up treating her just like her father, shows how this cycle is so ingrained in the way of life of many women, and passed from generation to generation. The author pities this character, not blaming her for what happened to her, Sally was very young and immature to fully understand her surroundings, to find a way out. Every May we celebrate the rich history and culture of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders.

Some people argue that the color doesn’t fit with its historical neighborhood, while others support it as a statement of Mexican culture and Cisneros’s own creativity. Our mission is to foster a universal passion for reading by partnering with authors to help create stories and communicate ideas that inform, entertain, and inspire. Because the novel deals with sensitive subject matters, such as domestic violence, puberty, sexual harassment, and racism, it has faced challenges and threats of censorship.

Esperanza's traumatic experiences and observations of the women in her neighborhood, many of whom are controlled by the men in their lives, only further cement her desire to leave Mango Street. It is only when she meets Rachel and Lucy's aunts, who tell her fortune, that she realizes her experiences on Mango Street have shaped her identity and will remain with her even if she leaves. As the novel ends, Esperanza vows that after she leaves, she will return to help the people she has left behind. The House on Mango Street covers the formative years of Esperanza Cordero, a young Chicana girl living in an impoverished Chicago neighborhood with her parents and three siblings.

Before settling into their new home, a small and run-down building with crumbling red bricks, the family moved frequently, always dreaming of having a house of their own. Pining for a white, wooden house with a big yard and many trees, Esperanza finds her life on Mango Street suffocating and yearns to escape. Esperanza begins the novel with detailed descriptions of the minute behaviors and characteristics of her family members and unusual neighbors, providing a picture of the neighborhood and examples of the many influential people surrounding her. She describes time spent with her younger sister, Nenny, and two older girls she befriends in the neighborhood; Alicia, a promising young college student with a dead mother, and Marin, who spends her days babysitting her younger cousins.

Esperanza highlights significant or telling moments both in her own life and those in her community, mostly explaining the hardships they face, such as her neighbor being arrested for stealing a car or the death of her Aunt Lupe. The House on Mango Street is a 1984 novel by Mexican-American author Sandra Cisneros. Structured as a series of vignettes, it tells the story of Esperanza Cordero, a 12-year-old Chicana girl growing up in the Hispanic quarter of Chicago. Based in part on Cisneros's own experience, the novel follows Esperanza over the span of one year in her life, as she enters adolescence and begins to face the realities of life as a young woman in a poor and patriarchal community.

In spite of this, it remains an influential coming-of-age novel and is a staple piece of literature for many young adults. For Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we are sharing books to educate and raise awareness about mental health and the various factors that may affect it, and to provide tools and resources for student wellness. Cisneros has written that for some of the stories in The House on Mango Street – like “The Family of Little Feet” – she started with a title and then had to make a story for it, while the first line of “The Three Sisters” came to her in a dream. The novel is composed of 44 interconnected vignettes, of varying lengths, ranging from one or two paragraphs to several pages. Welcome to the LitCharts study guide on Sandra Cisneros's The House on Mango Street. Created by the original team behind SparkNotes, LitCharts are the world's best literature guides.

The relationship the protagonist has with the house itself is a pillar in this process of self-discovery, the house is in itself a living being as well, as mentioned by de Valdés.[57] Her neighborhood engenders the battles of fear and hostility, of dualistic forces, of the notion of "I" versus "them". The character is impressed upon by these forces and they guide her growth as a person. Sally – She is one of Esperanza's closest friends and mentioned in several of the vignettes in the novel. There is one full vignette dedicated to this character.[20] The author describes her as “the girl with eyes like Egypt and nylons the color of smoke.” This is the first phrase in the chapter, and it seems to embody the type of dreams Sally holds for herself. The protagonist is attracted to Sally's way of being and considers her to be a true friend, she likes being around her.

Elements of the Mexican-American culture and themes of social class, race, sexuality, identity, and gender are interwoven throughout the novel. In honor of Jewish American Heritage Month in May, we are sharing books by Jewish authors who share their individual stories, experiences, and lives. Aunt Lupe – Aunt Lupe is primarily present in the vignette "Born Bad," in which Esperanza scolds herself for mimicking her dying aunt. Aunt Lupe is thought to "represent the passivity that women are so revered for in Mexican culture, that passivity which makes women accepting of whatever it is their patriarchal society chooses for them."[32] Aunt Lupe married, had kids and was a dutiful house wife. Sally seems to represent the vicious cycle of domestic violence and repression felt by women on Mango street.

The lawyers want that information to bolster their potential trial defense that members of the so-called deep state conspired with the Biden administration to have the indictment filed against Mr. Trump. Judge Cannon still has not issued a decision on the underlying motion to which the newly unsealed exhibits were attached. Person 16 also suggested to the F.B.I. that Mr. Trump may have told his personal aide, Walt Nauta, who was ultimately charged as a co-defendant in the case, that he would receive a pardon if Mr. Trump was elected again. Still, Person 16 was exceptionally candid with the F.B.I., giving his interviewers gossipy details about members of Mr. Trump’s legal team.

Both states have been building more homes than any other part of the US, in a race to make room for pandemic-era newcomers. A lack of US housing has fenced off most would-be buyers, but two states are dealing with the opposite problem — an overflow of homes. This Agreement represents the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and representations between them. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and the other terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

While the unsealed exhibits did not greatly alter the basic story of the classified documents case, they did provide a few new details. The Nasarawa State House of Assembly, NSHA on Tuesday issued a 14-day ultimatum to the Abuja Electricity Distribution Company, AEDC, to restore power supply to communities within the state. When they formed in 1964, the Moody Blues were called the M&B 5, using the initials of the brewery that owned clubs and dance halls where they had been playing.

Some of the exhibits revealed, for instance, that the F.B.I. used the code name “Plasmic Echo” for its initial investigation of the classified documents that Mr. Trump took to Mar-a-Lago. “There is a power blackout and outrageous bills across the state by AEDC as our people are in pain and suffering, we cannot take it,” the speaker said. The stand-alone bill forcing TikTok owner ByteDance to divest the app or face a ban in the United States went from introduction by Gallagher, Krishnamoorthi and others to a committee markup and House passage in about a week. That original bill passed the House with overwhelming support, was modified by Speaker Mike Johnson as part of a national security supplemental and was signed by President Joe Biden last week.

This has become a growing concern for the national housing market, as worsening climate risks amplify costs to insurance providers.

By the end of the contract term, the lowest starting non-tipped wage will be $24.15 an hour. A little over a year ago, House cafeteria workers with Unite Here Local 23 were contemplating protests and pickets if negotiations with Sodexo turned sour. Now, they’re celebrating a new contract that raises wages and improves working conditions.

Los Angeles

The legislation is co-sponsored by more than three dozen House Republicans. Legislative measures that the committee is championing now need to be shepherded through relevant congressional committees, Illinois Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, the top Democrat on the panel, said in an interview. Mike Pinder, the last surviving founding member of the Moody Blues, whose innovative use of the Mellotron — a predecessor of the sampler — helped make the band a pioneer of progressive rock, died on Wednesday at his home in the Sacramento area.

The name was a ploy to get money from the brewery to fund the band. So, Mr. Pinder told Classic Bands, he was inspired to create the name Moody Blues by tying together “the mood affecting changes of music” and the fact that the band’s repertoire at the time was primarily rhythm and blues. Student protesters from Howard University, as well as union members from other locals, gathered outside a bargaining meeting last year, early in the negotiation process. That set the tone for relatively quick talks that delivered the cafeteria workers — who keep Congress fed — a series of wins.

Overseeing Tuesday’s panel and advocating for the administration’s federal action plan was Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris. Emhoff said the plan aims to reduce the country’s roughly 132 suicides a day. “I’m here because I am my beloved mother’s daughter and on the day she died, which will be the two-year anniversary in one week, the disease of mental illness was lying to her and with great terror convinced her that it would never get better,” Judd continued. That’s still not enough, as far as the cost of living, but what’s really important to our folks is that they’ll get free health insurance for the first time.

Home builders worked with Utah lawmakers to address the barriers to production in the state. Rep. Spendlove explained that the bill would allow the state treasurer to invest in low-cost loans that developers can use.

The speaker who was unhappy with the lack of power supply in the state with consumers paying higher electricity bills warned that failure to restore power will force the House to take drastic measures. The House in its resolution said the 14-day ultimatum is to ensure that residents enjoy a steady power supply and promote business activities in the state. The 76-year-old country star died in April 2022, a day before mother-daughter duo the Judds — made up of Naomi and eldest daughter Wynnona — was inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame.

Boosting housing supply was the central theme of the discussion featuring two state lawmakers in “New Approaches to America’s Housing Crisis,” a April 18 webinar hosted by Pluribus News and sponsored by NAHB. State Reps. Maxine Dexter (D-OR) and Robert Spendlove (R-Utah) spoke at length about recent legislation in their respective states in response to the housing crisis. Simply put, Arrow has built a supply house that many contractors have come to depend on. Excellent service and massive inventory have helped contractors finish their jobs on time, as promised.

In Utah, lawmakers also shifted their focus from demand incentives to supply. “The only solution is to build more homes,” said Rep. Spendlove. Florida and Texas are getting inundated with new houses, which is stagnating price growth.

Around 600 CE, local Celtic traditions merged with Anglo-Saxon to produce the insular style of art which would dominate the early medieval period in Britain and Ireland. Interlaced motifs became an integral part of insular illuminated manuscripts and metalwork, particularly in the work of Irish Celtic monks. We’ve had a lot of questions from people over the years asking everything from ‘Are Celtic symbols and meanings evolving? ’ (I’m not really sure what this one means, but we get it a lot) to ‘Which Celtic love knots make good tattoos? There is no definitive Celtic symbol for family, but there are several ancient Celtic knots that represent the meanings of eternal love, strength and family unity.

There are many theories as to how the Sailor’s Celtic Knot came to be. Perhaps it was just a way for bored sailors to pass the quieter times during their travels. It could have been a token gifted from loved ones to remind these sailors of the love and family that waited for their safe return. Celtic Knots have become one of the most popular ways people celebrate and connect with their Celtic ancestry, from tattoos, jewelry, and pottery, to clothing, accessories, and homewares.

The ancient Celts were big on travelling – wanderlust was a thing before that word was even created and the Celts had a serious case of it. After that, Celtic culture mixed with Christian beliefs, and a new early Irish Christian belief system was created. What we do know is that Celtic-inspired artwork became very popular from around the 3rd century to its final hurrah in the 11th century. The famous Celtic cross, although very familiar, is more of a Christian symbol with Celtic inspiration than it is a true Celtic symbol. The Trinity Celtic knot, commonly called the Triquetra, which is the Latin word for a triangle, is one of the more easily recognized Celtic knots.

Celtic Renaissance and Cultural Revival

This can also be a great opportunity to connect with other like-minded individuals and expand your knowledge of this ancient art form. As you can see, the early Christians of Ireland very quickly adopted this beautiful art and made it their own. Some historians believe that these never-ending designs date back as far as 500 BC. As we know, the Romans were inspired by the artistic endeavors of the Ancient Celts, and this Celtic symbol can often be found alongside other Celtic knots throughout their artistic expressions. The Celtic pagans thought that this Celtic knot would help them harness the power of the oak tree and with it would come wisdom and even protection. It is thought that the woven design of the Dara Knot was meant to imitate and symbolize the complex root system of the oak tree.

A bell in the center of the maze called the Peace Bell can be rung by visitors who complete the maze. The garden is composed of four different sections, each one representing a different season and named after the seasonal Celtic festivals of Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine, and Lughnasa. Stone circles and monoliths, a sunken garden, spiral-shaped stone walls, and a "crannog"—a type of prehistoric dwelling made of oak poles and a thatched roof—are among the garden's attractions. Native wildflower meadows, woodland paths, and a lake can be found along the garden's edge. The collection includes zoomorphic designs as well as those developed in La Tène style.

Celtic knots are also a popular part of the visual culture for many of Irish-American heritage. The Picts were a medieval society that inhabited northeast Scotland in the 3rd to 10th centuries. Their mysterious history has been difficult for scholars to understand due to a lack of surviving written records, but the Picts have left an enormous record carved in stone. The style of their monuments puts them firmly in the greater Celtic culture, showing artistic themes closely kin to the sculpture, metalwork, and manuscript art of the contemporary Irish. This is a very hard question to answer, as it depends what you are categorizing as ‘Gaelic symbols’. The various Celtic symbols and meanings often get lumped in with Irish symbols, like the harp, which can cause confusion.

You will notice a variety of designs that claim to be the motherhood knot; as it is a modern invention, aesthetics may be prioritized. Key patterns chart a path, that like the path of a knotwork design, meanders in a beautiful and interesting way. As you become more comfortable with drawing Celtic knots, you can experiment with more intricate patterns. Start by studying existing designs and breaking them down into smaller components to understand their structure. Then, practice sketching these components and weaving them together to create your own unique Celtic knot designs. Remember, patience and practice are key to mastering these complex designs.

Like the ships of the Breakaway and Breakaway-plus classes, the Prima Class ships have a lively zone that mixes casino space, bars, eateries and entertainment that sprawls across decks 6, 7 and 8. These vessels also have outdoor eating space in an area called Ocean Boulevard. Also, every ship has a least four and often many more extra-charge eateries. Two found across the entire fleet are Cagney's, the line's signature steakhouse, and Le Bistro, a fine French restaurant. Every ship also has an Italian restaurant, called Onda by Scarpetta or La Cucina.

Norwegian was responsible for many of the cruise innovations that have now become standard throughout the industry. The near perfect days, beautiful scenery, pristine beaches and sparkling water offer the perfect backdrop for any dream adventure in Sydney, Australia. Whether looking out into the city’s waterways, ancient castles or modern buildings, you’ll always have a great view when cruising to Stockholm, Sweden. The beautiful small coastal town of Seward, which is most known for its picturesque scenic views and many visitors’ attractions, is a perfect addition for your next Alaska cruise.

Prima Class

This allows it to sail U.S.-only itineraries around the Hawaiian islands. Foreign flagged ships (which most are) must incorporate a stop in a foreign port before they return to the United States. For the ultimate in luxury at sea, try out The Haven by Norwegian.

Complimentary Dining

All cabins on Norwegian vessels have standard North American-style, 110-volt outlets and European-style, 220-volt outlets. Norwegian also offers dedicated teen zones and programming on ships for children ages 13 to 17. Called Entourage, the teen zone is a place for teens to hang out, dance and play games, and it's supervised by counselors who plan activities and challenges.

As you might expect, pricing for all ships will generally be lower during offseason periods such as September and October. Reaching the second tier, Silver (20 points), would take at the most three cruises if you're doing seven-night trips. Norwegian has a point-based frequent cruiser program, Latitudes Rewards, that has seven tiers, ranging from Bronze (requiring 1 point) to Ambassador (700 points). Norwegian allows you to bring bottles of your own wine or Champagne on board, but it will charge you a hefty corkage fee of $15 per bottle for the privilege — even if you plan to drink the bottle in your room. This is a more draconian policy than you'll find at most lines.

Le Bistro Specialty Restaurant

Most lines allow passengers to bring at least a bottle or two of their own wine on board at no charge. Many of Norwegian's biggest ships have state-of-the-art theaters as big as those you'd find on Broadway, with big-name productions to match. Norwegian Bliss, for instance, has the Tony Award-winning "Jersey Boys."

In Miami, you’ll enjoy a small taste of the tropical weather many of you will experience during your cruise, and you’ll see why Miami is one of the most popular places to live in America.

Istanbul is a unique city that blends its two distinct influences – from its founding as the Christian capital of Constantinople to the Ottoman ruled Istanbul.

Today, it has become one of the more popular mainstream cruise brands and is part of Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings, which also includes the Regent Seven Seas and Oceania brands. This may influence which products we review and write about (and where those products appear on the site), but it in no way affects our recommendations or advice, which are grounded in thousands of hours of research. Our partners cannot pay us to guarantee favorable reviews of their products or services. That said, given the complexity of booking a cruise (there are a lot of decisions to make during the booking process — trust us) we recommend you use a seasoned travel agent who specializes in cruises. The line just recommends a step up to "smart casual" outfits in its more formal dining rooms and upscale specialty restaurants. In keeping with Norwegian's laid-backness, this might still mean nothing more than a crisper pair of jeans, or maybe slacks with a collared shirt, for men.

Norwegian appeals to vacationers who want a big-resort experience at sea with lots of options for dining and entertainment. In that, it's similar to Royal Caribbean — perhaps its closest competitor.

It also sends a few ships to Asia, Australia and South America, and it'll typically keep a single vessel in Europe, too. One notable outlier among the smaller ships is the 2,186-passenger Pride of America. Sporting a patriotic U.S. theme (you'll find venues named after Thomas Jefferson and John Adams), and a distinct array of lounges and entertainment, it's the only big cruise vessel based year-round in Hawaii. Norwegian is the world's fourth-largest cruise line by passenger capacity, with 19 ships that together offer 56,780 berths. As of April 2024[update], Norwegian Cruise Line operates 19 cruise ships, with eight on order. All its ships are flagged to the Bahamas, except for the Pride of America, which operates cruises within the United States and is flagged and registered in the US, as well as being owned by a US-registered subsidiary, NCL America.

If you're sure Norwegian is your line, look for a travel agent who specializes in trips with the brand. You want someone who understands all the little quirks that are unique to Norwegian's cabin categories and, preferably, has done ship inspections to see the cabins firsthand. A good travel agent will quiz you about your particular interests, travel style and preferences, and steer you to the perfect cruise line, ship, itinerary and cabin for you. They can also help you if something goes wrong just before, during or after your voyage.

The lower drinking age in international waters does not apply during sailings in Alaska and Hawaii. You might even find Starbucks stores on some ships (the one-year-old Norwegian Prima has two!) and there are Starbucks products on every Norwegian vessel. Also, some ships have private restaurants just for passengers staying in The Haven.

It'll also operate trips to Bermuda from New York City and Boston, usually with two ships, and trips to the Bahamas and the Caribbean out of Miami. Norwegian thus appeals both to cruisers who like a giant resort vibe and those who prefer something more modest. The key, depending on your tastes, is getting on the right ship in the fleet.

In short, if you’re looking for the most upscale experience on NCL, then you’ll find it in The Haven. All your favorite games will be here, including slots, tables games, craps, roulette, and even a few games you won’t see on land like “claw games” where you try to maneuver the claw to pick up money. Laser TagAlong with go-karts, Norwegian has made a name for itself with outdoor laser tag games. The sets that are built are immersive and extremely impressive.

On a visit to Seoul, you’ll enjoy serene gardens, magnificent art and vibrant folklore along with new age technology, ultra-modern skyscrapers and a fast-paced city life. Known as The Emerald City, Seattle is a beautiful, luscious city with incredible views of the Cascade Mountains and Elliott Bay. The city is full of activities for both water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, San Diego is known for its near perfect weather, beautiful beaches and abundance of activities. Incredible mosaic art and ancient architecture grace this small port city, often used as a jump-off point for cruisers looking to spend some time in Venice.

The casino on Norwegian Encore has more than 300 slot machines and 26 table games (including blackjack, roulette, poker and craps), plus its own bar. Every vessel has two or three main restaurants and a casual buffet where meals are included in the fare — the latter is usually called the Garden Cafe. Two ships in this Epic class were ordered by NCL in November 2006, with an option for a third vessel that was not exercised. Later, this area was turned into cabins and a two-deck movie theater, later to be used as a casino.

These relaxing rooms are located close to the Mandara Spa and include access to the Thermal Spa Suites, sauna, hydrotherapy pools, steam room, and heated loungers. For the 3 packages above, you must be 21 years old or older to purchase. If 1 person purchases a package, everyone (over 21 years old) residing in the same stateroom or additional staterooms that were under the same form of payment is required to purchase it.

We were especially surprised by Q Texas Smokehouse — a BBQ restaurant on a handful of ships. Being from Texas, we’ve grown up on BBQ and what we had would fit right in back home. To us, there is a big difference between the cruise line’s ships. While older ships still have plenty to love, its newer ships are much more modern in both amenities and atmosphere and have more things to do. However, what you spend on cruise fare is just a portion of what you’ll spend on your entire cruise.

If you haven’t yet sailed Norwegian, you might not be sure what to expect. The name of the cruise line makes it sound like it is Nordic, however, as you’ll see below, the experience is anything but. The idea of the “best” ship is subjective, but the biggest and newest ship is Norwegian Encore, which debuted in 2019. Norwegian will be introducing the new Leonardo class of ships in 2022. If you’re traveling by yourself, check out the Studios on Norwegian Getaway, Norwegian Breakaway, Norwegian Epic, Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Encore, Norwegian Bliss, and Pride of America.

Norwegian ships are also loaded with bars, lounges and nightclubs, including always-busy casinos. Put it all together, and you have vessels with a very lively atmosphere — particularly at night. If you had to compare Norwegian ships to something on land, you'd probably say they were like floating versions of the casino resorts you find in Las Vegas. Instead of a few big main restaurants with fixed seating times, Norwegian ships offer a wide range of eateries and no assigned seating times — just make a reservation. The cruise port of Southampton features tons of diverse attractions that provide insight into England’s culture and storied past, including fortresses, gardens and national parks.

You can find cruise bargains for as low as $350 on four-night cruises, but if you want to splurge and do a longer cruise, expect to pay as much as $4,600 or more (especially if you book a suite or a Haven category room). A passenger staying in suites and booking through Latitudes Rewards Insider Offers could get to the Platinum level with just four seven-night cruises. In contrast to airline frequent-flyer programs, cruise line loyalty programs do not require you to requalify for status every year. But it's not as difficult as it might at first seem to hit the more rewarding higher tiers in just a few years if you're cruising a lot. Lower tiers don't bring all that much in terms of truly valuable benefits. You'll get things like priority check-in and discounted spa treatments performed while ships are in port.
