Author David Rhodes
9/9/1962-5/30/2013
The Arts and Entertainment Magazine & THE EERIE DIGEST has sadly learned of the passing of a great writer, David Rhodes. David had been a prolific writer and had submitted many stories to our magazine. His last story appeared in our publication just a few days before his passing.
David’s style was unique and unmatched by many. His stories were easy to follow and “scared the bejusus out of you”, according to fellow author R.B. Clague. David’s first entry was a serial called Maniacs which first appeared in our June, 2011 issue. His most memorable was Season of Drake, a four part series that we first introduced in our November, 2011 issue. I had constantly told David that I could envision Johnny Depp playing the title role, this just prior to Depp’s involvement in the Dark Shadows movie. Depp would have made a great Drake for this role if he could portray the same type of character that he played in the Sweeney Todd and Sleepy Hollow productions. (more…)

Falling Further – Our portfolio followed the S&P 500 straight down from the May 21 all-time closing high. Unfortunately, the portfolio did not recover as sharply as the index when it bounced off its 50-day moving average on June 6, nor did it rise as smartly as the S&P 500 did on June 7, following the May employment report. Over the past four weeks our portfolio lost 1.4% while the S&P 500 gained 0.6%. Our stock positions gained 1.1% (despite a 12.7% loss in Facebook (FB)), but a 14.9% loss in mortgage REIT American Capital Agency (AGNC) combined with a 6.8% loss in our ETF positions (SPDR Gold Trust (GLD), SPDR S&P China (GXC), and Wisdom Tree Japan Hedged Equity (DXJ)) put our portfolio on the losing side of the ledger since May 10. Since its January 10 inception our portfolio has gained 4.89% while the S&P 500 has gained 12.06%.

TAEM- The Arts and Entertainment Magazine has always sought new and interesting authors so that our vast readership can experience the many genres of storytelling. There have been many American authors that we had interviewed, but we often look beyond our borders to display talent that we have yet to uncover. Many times we have introduced some fabulous writers just north of us, in Canada.
TAEM- The Arts and Entertainment Magazine has many followers who are students of the arts, and use our publication as a learning tool to hone their craft, and careers. We often introduce seasoned and accomplished personalities in the world of cinema to ask how they succeeded, and what pitfalls they made. In this way young actors can not only follow the same course to reach their goals, but avoid the pitfalls that could trip them up.
TAEM- The Arts and Entertainment Magazine loves to delve into music that has inspired us for generations.

This group played in over 400 colleges in North America, and appeared on many popular television shows. Today former members Roy Connors and Alan Scharf continue those melodies in their new group, ‘2 Guys’ .
The Arts and Entertainment Magazine has asked us to take a look at the latest flick in a series of Superhero films to deluge the silver screen. This weekend we took in Man of Steel, the latest film released in this genre.
