ENYA AT 60: The shy star became the best-selling solo artist in Irish history and she did it by ignoring every rule about the music business. But where is Enya now and has the reclusive star stopped releasing records? She may be shy but this is a woman who lives in an actual castle.

Melissa McCracken grew up with a neurological condition that means she processes songs as colors—a gift that translates into paintings inspired by her favorite musicians.

Out of everyone who’s ever auditioned on any of the “Got Talent” shows, Calum Scott is one of the most successful. The young man was just 26 years old when he walked on the stage of Britain’s version of the show. With his sister in the back cheering him on, he told the judges that

I made this poster several years ago. I made the feathers so they could be pulled off. I tell the children that we are going to pluck the feathers off our turkey for singing time today. On the back of the feathers I put the name of the song to sing, or how to sing the song. I also have written something that the children have to say they are thankful for. For example, "I am thankful for____" Or, it may say "tell someone in the room why you are thankful for them". Then we sing the song. I like to add an element of surprise and one of the feathers may say "sing for a sticker" or "sing for a candy" etc. Easy and fun! "Thankful Charades" Another idea for Thanksgiving that I have done before is to play a game of charades. In a jar I have different songs that also are things that you can be thankful for. I choose a child to pick out of the jar and then have them act out the name of the song and the children try to guess what it is. Whoever guesses gets to do it next after we sing the song. Here are some ideas of songs: "Scriptures" sing Scripture Power "Family" sing Families Can Be Together Forever "Food" sing For Health and Strength "Earth" sing My Heavenly Father Loves Me "Prophets" sing Follow the Prophet, or Latter Day Prophets "Temples" sing I Love To See The Temple "Baptism" sing any baptism song "Prayer" sing A Child's Prayer I like to talk about why we should be grateful for these things. This is a great activity when you need something quick and easy!

These pens have been around for more than a quarter of a century, yet I've never heard of these! I saw these at a local office supply discount store (a discount store? To fuel a pen addiction? SWEET!), and the first thing I noticed was how thin these pens are. I was attracted to the fact that it was a felt-tipped pen for a reasonable price. Felt-tipped pens usually go for $2-$3 a pop, but these went for $1.39. (Maybe it's the fact it was a discount store, but whatever.) I picked up a burgundy version of the pen. Below are the lyrics to "Maybe Tomorrow" by Stereophonics written with the pen. This pen is about 7 mm in width and stands 14 cm tall. Overall it's a pretty thin pen. This seems like a minimalist pen – no grip, thin, not many bells and whistles, metal clip, and the such...not saying it's bad. There's a metal clip on the cap that seems sturdy to clip on books, papers, etc. Engraved are the words "Le Pen Marvy Japan" in silver. The felt tip is .3 mm, but it writes a bit bigger than that. The ink comes out a nice wine red and writes quite well. It sort of scratches a bit on the paper, but that might be the felt. Also, the tip seems a bit fragile and slightly bends in the direction I'm writing. This pen would be good for doodling or taking notes with. This isn't something I would use to write out my homework. (Then again, most of that is done on the computer nowadays...) So to recap... Good: Minimalistic, rich colour, sturdy metal clip, cheap Bad: Tip scratches slightly, fragile; likely to crush Costs: $0.50-$2.00 I give this pen... a B+!
