When the time comes to choose a tile for your pool, things can be overwhelming. There are so many different pool tile options out there. All differing types of pool tile look great. But, which tile option is the best one for you and your pool? This may come right down to your personal preference and therefore, the overall design of your outdoor oasis.
Negative-edge pools, spa spillways, tanning ledges, and complicated water features, are parts of pool designs that function as an inspiration for a surprising tile. The most commonly used type of pool tile includes glass, natural stone, ceramic, and porcelain.
Are Pool Tiles Important for Your Swimming Pools?
Most people would not know the difference between swimming bath tiles and, say, the subway tile backsplash in their kitchen, but they are fundamentally different. The pool tile is meant to face up to chemically treated water the bulk of the time, and as temperature fluctuations go below freezing, pools are drained for the winter.
Types of pool tiles
1. Ceramic and Porcelain Pool Tiles
For decades, porcelain and ceramic are the most popular choices for tiles around pools. With porcelain tiles, the advantage is that they do not absorb heat.
2. Glass Tiles
While porcelain and ceramic are great options for pool tiles, the glass may be a comparatively expensive option. Glass tiles are small square tiles made of recycled glass for a clean iridescent look. Hence, they are eco-friendly and non-porous, and more sturdy than the other kinds of swimming pool tiles.
3. Stone Tiles
Like ceramic pool tiles, the stone is one of the other popular types of tile for swimming pools. They are available with a textured feel that blends perfectly with other natural elements of your landscaping.
4. Mosaic Tiles
Mosaic tiles add a colorful punch to your pool design. Mosaics are different pieces of glass, ceramic, or porcelain tiles combined to create a singular design.
5. Brick Tiles
If you seek a regal look in your pool, choose the brick tiles. Though they are not modern, these tiles are as durable as stone tiles and do not call for frequent swimming pool tile repair. Mostly, brick tiles are available in red, but you can find other colors also.
What Type of Tile Is Best for Swimming Pools?
One of the primary decisions you will make when picking out your new pool tiles is what look and feel you would like most. Pool tiles can use ceramic and porcelain, glass, or natural stone.
Ceramic and porcelain have traditionally been the "go-to" choice in swimming pool tiles and are great for those with a strict budget. The tiles will be hand-painted with intricate designs or formed into a mosaic.
Final Thoughts
Choose the best pool tile and make a sublime environment for your outdoor oasis. Get in touch with a knowledgeable pool builder to learn about the best selection and maintenance of your pool tiles over the years.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pool tiles a bad investment?
No. Tiling takes into account a premium finish for swimming pools. Its attractive look and possibilities for creative designs are only the start. Tile is also easier to scrub than rendered surfaces. Tiling only along the waterline is an inexpensive option with aesthetic and practical applications.
Why are pool tiles falling off?
If the pool water stays acidic for a prolonged time, the pool tiles will fall off eventually. If the whole quantity of Ca2+ within the water is smaller than the quality, the pool water and carbonate are corrupted. It can cause depressions on the surface of the concrete and stains on the pool walls.
Is there a difference between pool tile and regular tile?
Pool tile has been specially manufactured to face sunlight, changing temperatures, an aquatic environment, and constant contact with the chemicals in pool water. "Regular" household tile — like bathroom and kitchen tile – is not designed for outdoor use and should not offer identical durability for lesser pool tile repair.

Dear Ronin,
We all arose with the sun on Sunday morning. There were no clouds above us, but below us they covered everything like an ocean. Little peaks of trees appeared as tiny islands.
You played in your pajamas and sleeping bag (thanks uncle Lint!) for the early morning. Later, after breakfast and getting dressed, you decided to climb some more rocks. I must admit that we were impressed; and perhaps a bit frightened. You managed to work you way up the vertical face of the rock with, what seemed like, little effort.
Soon though, we had to pack up and head down to the PCT and complete the 6+ miles to loop back to the lodge.
Before heading home, we grabbed a quick brunch at Timberline and explored the impressive lodge. A prefect end to a spectacular first backpacking trip.
Your father,

In stories of impending change, as in life, it is common for the protagonist, before stepping off the edge of the known world, to first turn, reach backward in time, and touch their past. When Tom Mck knew he was en route to leaving this earth, he took me on drives to show me the location of his family ranch, the creek he played in as a boy, the cemetery that held his ancestors. We spent long evenings together as he told me and my tape recorder stories, that, although were meant to be stories of the lost boy, Johnny, they were more accurately stories of the lost boy, Tom. The keeper of the legacy. "I have a promise to keep to Isabelle," he said of his great grandmother, a woman he never met but knew as intimately as if their lives had crossed. "I have a promise to keep." We spent many, many days and nights reaching back so that he might have some peace when taking his next step.
I came down from the upstairs office to find Kerri, a dedicated holiday-white-light girl, untangling strings of colored lights. "These were my mom and dad's" she said with more than a little excitement in her voice. "I've put together a strand with bulbs that still light up! I think we should put them on the railing out front." What could be better, as we turn our eyes to the future than having Beaky and Pa alight at our front door.
Touch back. Look forward. Build a bridge – live a bridge – from one dot to the next.
This morning I dug through Columbus' record collection. We brought it home with us and, quite suddenly, I wanted to find his holiday albums. I took out our little suitcase record player, and put on the carols of my youth. Julie Andrews. Vic Damone. A Firestone Christmas album sang to us through our breakfast. Columbus filled our house with his good music.
Now, with Beaky and Pa at the front door, Columbus filling up our home with cheer from Christmas past, we relish our touching back. And, I think we're both ready, as we breathe-in what was, to turn and take a solid step toward what will be.

Out of all the craziness that I got these last three episodes. The craziest by far is that the opening of this anime took 6 episodes to finally debut. But to move to more serious topics these episodes dive into the past of Emilia and a little bit into the past of how the sanctuary was formed. So let us talk about these episodes of Re:Zero Season 2 Part 2.
Episode 17: Emilia and Echidna Rivalry
We start off where we left off last episode with Emilia & Echidna. During the entire three episodes span that I watched. Echidna was ruthless towards Emilia. As she seems to have a bias towards her (I wonder why). As she is constantly finding ways to insult her every chance possible. While Emilia doesn't have hate towards her. Everytime she brings up anything related to Subaru. You can just see the hate in Echidna everytime and I just loved it and can't wait for more.
Young Geuse and Fortuna
We meet the mother of Emilia being Fortuna. But, she is really her aunt. As we learn in episodes 18 & 19 that they passed long ago. Leaving Fortuna Emilia's aunt to take her in her care and raise her. She taught Emilia a lot of things. With one of the major things that she learned is the importances of promises. Something that Emilia keeps important to her this day. Also in this episode we get introduced to Geuse before he becomes basically insane. He is a person that before the events is an entirely different person more calm yet still a heavy believer in his religion. Also Geuse and Fortuna have this close relationship with one another that I enjoyed.
Seal, Subarua, and Archbishop of Greed
Also in this episode we learn about a seal in the area of Emilia's past. As while Emilia learned how to use spirits on her own. They guided her to the location of this seal. We get moments like that and more with Emilia being curious of the world and exploring it. We then pan to what Subaru is doing. As he is still embarrassed by what Garfield saw. But, then we get the Ryuzu clones to come and start to explain some information about the sanctuary and its past. So we are getting multiple backstories that might intertwine. The episode ends though with the Archbishop of Greed Regulus Corneas appearing with Emilia, Fourtuna, and Young Geuse in the forest playing at the end of the episode.
Episode 18: Another's Past
The start of this episode we got to take a look into another past. As we get some of the story of Echidna, Beatrice, and Roswaal many years ago. It is something very interesting to me. As Beatrice seemed to have a close relationship with Ryzuu and is still a tsundere. Also we see a young Roswaal so we might get information about his devotion to Echidna soon.
Witch of Vanity Pandora
Now we get the fight between Fortuna and Geuse against Corneas the bishop of greed. But, there is another person that appears. And when this person came into the anime. I just knew that this person was the strongest by a mile. Her calm demeter and her aura was something not to be messed with. The way that she praised Guses with tears in her eyes. To then giving Geuse the title of sloth after seeing his conviction to taking in the dark energy to defend Emilia and Fourtuna and by them time to run. Pandora is such a interesting character. As she even made Corneau who I thought was gonna be the main threat vanish to a place of peace it seemed. She has a power that might be even stronger than Satella and that is something not to be messed with. I can't wait to learn more about her character.
Sacrifice and Serpents
I wanted to touch on the animals of the world of Re:Zero. As there is an abundance of animals with powers of mass destruction. Whether it be the whales, dogs, and even rabbits. This is one of the most dangerous worlds in fiction to live in. With the serpente being an animal that took the life of Archi(Member of Emilia's Village) and had such a contagious attack that you can't even cut off your leg to save yourself from it.
Episode 19: Seal and Pandora
After fleeing from the battlefield. Eventually ending up on her own. Emilia is led back to the seal. Where she meets Pandora and learns that she has the key to the seal. Pandora tries to get her to open it. But, she refuses to keep her promise with her mother. After her conviction Fortuna comes but she is nothing to Pandora. As Pandora can do almost anything with her illusions. She tricks her and when Geuse comes he thinks that Fortuna is Pandora and stabs her through the heart killing her.
Birth of Betelgeuse & Snow
Finding out afterwards, Geuse is broken after killing someone that he cared for deeply. On the ground shattered Pandora comes and pampers him with words changing him. Turning him into the man that he is today Betelgeuse Romanée-Conti, the archbishop of sloth. As this is happening, Emilia is with her mother and talks to her for the final time as she is on her deathbed. After Fortuna passes Emilia with rage freezes everything including herself in ice and snow. Pandora and Betelgeuse leave before they are frozen ending the first trial.
Emilia's Biggest Regret
Emilia passes the first trial overcoming her biggest regret. She still has two more to go but she did it. While she is passing the trial. Subaru goes to speak with Roswaal about the past that he just learned. Ending the episode there.
Overall Thoughts
It is a great builder to the backstories of many people. With the main person being Emilia as we learn how the forest was frozen and how much powerful Emilia can be. As she is someone that is not to be messed with. I wonder where Puck fits into all of this. Also, I am really interested to learn more about this Beatrice, Roswaal, and Sanctuary Backstory. One thing I want to note is a little detail with Ram and Subaru. As she asked if he met Echidna and he said yes. I feel that that was just to learn more about Rosewaal's obsession over her. So I wonder if there's a storyline there. Overall a great three episodes and amazing fights. Can't wait for more.
Final Thoughts
Thanks to everyone that took the time to read this. Follow me on twitter @SakeDez and all of that good stuff. Until next time, be great.
Echidna jealous is amazing.

A just-released report by the Department of Transportation's Inspector General predicted that Lockheed Martin's aggressive consolidation schedule could lead to problems.
The report is the result of an audit undertaken to see if the FAA had implemented effective controls to transition FSS to Lockheed Martin, achieve anticipated savings, and ensure that the operational needs of users continue to be met.
The contract, worth about $1.8 billion, is one of the largest non-defense outsourcings of services by the federal government. FAA estimates initially pegged the savings at $2.2 billion over the 10-year life of the agreement. That figure has since been downsized to $1.7 billion.
The savings are expected to be seen through the consolidation of 58 FSS into three hub facilities and 16 stand-alone facilities; deploying FS21, a single, nationwide operating system that will allow flight service specialists to file flight plans, access aeronautical and weather information, and provide other information to pilots for any airport in the country; and reducing staff from approximately 1,900 to about 1,000 employees.
The audit found that the FAA implemented effective controls over the initial transition of FSS to contract operations. "These controls include contractual performance measures that require the contractor to achieve acceptable levels of operational performance and service as well as internal mechanisms that oversee the operational and financial aspects of the program," according to the report.
It is uncertain, however, if the controls put in place by FAA will be sufficient to ensure that anticipated savings are achieved during the next and most critical phase of the transition. "In February, the contractor began actions to complete, test, and implement FS21 and to consolidate the existing 58 sites into three hub and 16 refurbished locations — all within a six-month time frame. There are significant, inherent risks associated with this phase of the transition, and any slips in that schedule could affect the anticipated savings," the IG's report said.
The consolidation depends upon the contractor completing and deploying FS21, but Lockheed Martin has already experienced delays in implementing it, according to the report. According to FAA officials, the current deployment schedule for FS21 already includes a 10-month delay that Lockheed Martin experienced during development, and they believe an additional six-week delay is possible. "Further delays in implementing FS21 could have a cascading effect on consolidation plans," the report states.
Schedule delays could expose the contractor, FAA — or both — to additional costs, such as extending existing leases at some locations and maintaining legacy systems. While the ultimate responsibility for delays will depend upon the party responsible for the delay, it is likely that FAA would bear some portion of the total costs, which would impact the overall anticipated savings.
The FAA is already facing possible reductions to savings as Lockheed Martin is requesting nearly $177 million in equitable adjustments to the contract. Most of that adjustment ($147 million) is based on the company's claim that it was not provided with the correct labor rates when it submitted its bid.
Customer service also could suffer.
"We also found that better controls are needed to ensure that the operational needs of users continue to be met. Specifically, we found that staffing levels at outsourced facilities were lower than what the contractor anticipated, resulting in some users being routed to adjacent facilities that did not have adequate local knowledge needed by those users."
For example, one flight service facility supervisor noted that calls at the San Diego FSS were off-loaded last summer to the Albuquerque FSS due to staff shortages. However, this overloaded the Albuquerque facility and required Albuquerque's calls to be sent to the Fort Worth FSS and Fort Worth's calls to be transferred to facilities in the east.
"While we found that call off-loading provides users with flight services in a timelier manner, some users noted that they do not always receive adequate local knowledge when they are off-loaded to an adjacent facility," the IG's report states. "This issue should be corrected when the consolidation is complete and FS21 is implemented at all continuing and hub locations.
"However, we are concerned that any delays in the next phase of transition could cause further degradation in services as facilities scheduled to close remain open longer than planned and call off-loading is used more and more often as a stop-gap measure to short staffing," it continues. "This could be even more pronounced if attrition among flight specialists continues to increase. In our opinion, Lockheed Martin needs to develop contingency plans to ensure that services meet user needs should there be delays in consolidation during the next phase of the transition. Those plans should be reviewed by FAA for feasibility."
FAA also needs better controls for monitoring contractor staffing and plans for ensuring that flight service specialists are properly trained and certified to meet user demand, according to the report.
Finally, the FAA does not have a system for monitoring customer service that is independent of Lockheed Martin, according to the report. "Such a system is important to independently verify the quality and level of services provided during this transition and after consolidation," it states.
One step the FAA has taken is to require Lockheed Martin to establish contingency plans to maintain services should there be delays in consolidation during the next phase of the transition and establish a website link (independent of the contractor) for monitoring customer service.

We conducted a multicenter, phase II trial to investigate the efficacy and safety of rituximab plus CVP (R-CVP) combination therapy for patients with previously untreated stage III or IV marginal zone lymphoma (MZL). The treatment consisted of rituximab 375 mg/m 2, cyclophosphamide 750 mg/m 2 and vincristine 1.4 mg/m 2 (maximum 2.0 mg) being given intravenously on day 1 and oral prednisolone 100 mg on days 1-5. The treatment was repeated every 3 weeks and this was continued for six or eight cycles. Forty-two patients were enrolled from 13 institutes in Korea. Among them, two patients were dropped after the first and second cycles of chemotherapy, respectively, without evaluation. The 40 patients received a total of 287 cycles of R-CVP chemotherapy. The overall response rate was 88% (95% CI, 77-98%) with 24 complete responses (60%). The median duration of response was 28.3 months. After a median follow-up of 38.2 months, the estimated 3-year progression-free survival and overall survival were 59% and 95%, respectively. There were 30/287 cycles (11%) and 5/287 cycles (2%) of grade 3 or 4 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia, respectively.

I just sent this to David's father, in the event something happens to me.
Hopefully, David won't go through what I've been through because they will find the answer and cure him, or David will have enough preventative treatment that he will be okay (like antibiotics and IVIG).
I've been fighting to stay alive for a long time, and I can feel myself losing the fight. I just hope to stay alive to get everything cleaned out…I don't want to leave a mess behind–

Subject: Noah's daily antibiotic
I can not stress enough the importance of David taking his daily antibiotic. Because his immune system is impaired, a little antibiotics every day is much safer (and cheaper!) then developing more serious infections–it's giving him a little protective shield.
(For people with normal immune systems, daily antibiotics would hurt them, but for David, it helps stabilize his immune system because it helps keep the diseases out of his body.)
This is very important, because I only became very ill over the last few years due to an infection that would have been avoided if I had been doing daily antibiotic therapy.
It's cost Joe thousands to keep me on the planet. These are not resources you have, so it's best for David to just avoid the serious infections as much as possible in the first place.
Do not let people dismiss the importance of this. Anyone with any questions, just refer them to Dr. Kachru over the years–she can explain (better than I can 🙂 how the immune system works and why David benefits from such therapy.
Immigrate to Canada if you can. Otherwise, set aside money for co-pay and deductibles. There will be years you will be paying the maximum on your plan.

HSBC Used Blockchain Technology For First Commercial Trade Finance Transaction
Blockchain has been a constant source of change and innovation for the financial world. HSBC has now made history, as it completed the first blockchain transaction that involved trade finance. This marks a major point in financial history, since blockchain's usage has been reserved for non-commercial finance trade in the past.
Typically, this kind of transaction would take about a week to complete, using the paper-based transaction methods that were used before. However, with blockchain involved, it took less than 24 hours to take place.
Much of the point of blockchain is to minimize the time that users have to spend waiting on transactions, like the speed of this trade finance transaction. Normally, transactions of a larger magnitude involve paperwork that takes up more time than necessary.
By bringing the blockchain technology into this area of the industry, it can soon be used for other entities as well, like trade finance, health care, insurance, etc. In fact, professionals estimate that the time needed for exports within Asia Pacific alone can be reduced by 44%, with costs being cut by 31%.
The transaction that is breaking the wall between blockchain and large commercial transactions was for a shipment of soybeans, which traveled from Argentina to Malaysia. HSBC, as the handler for Cargill (a food and agriculture group in the United States), provided Dutch ING Bank NV with a Letter of Credit.
Both banks used a cryptocurrency bank called Corda to make the transaction, which often deals with banks that want to involve blockchain solutions for big banks.
Head of Growth and Innovation at HSBC, Vivek Ramachandran,
"The need for paper reconciliation is removed because all parties are linked on the platform and updates are instantaneous." He added to the statement, "The quick turnaround could mean unlocking liquidity for businesses."
HSBC has already noted to other companies considering the same transaction that it is entirely possible. By integrating the blockchain to these types of transactions, they can become more seamless, more secure, and faster. With all of these advantages to integrating blockchain, it is easy to see why more countries and financiers are integrating it into their routine transactions.
Even though last week's updates from China revealed that they were banning cryptocurrency trading as a whole, they are using ICOs and other activities from these platforms to create a blockchain standard. With national levels of attention, growth should not be a concern. These new opportunities have also attracted the attention of companies like Orange, the second-largest software company, and Facebook, a social media trendsetter.

Article #1380 by Dave Sindelar
Viewing Date: 12-24-2004
Posting Date: 5-23-2005
Directed by William Dieterle and Max Reinhardt
Fairies play havoc with the lives of lovers and actors that find themselves in the woods late at night.
Several of Shakespeare's plays have fantastic elements, though this one (along with THE TEMPEST) probably has the greatest amount. This one sticks fairly close to Shakespeare's language, and sweetens things with the addition of the music of Felix Mendelssohn and Eric Wolfgang Korngold. There's also some balletic dance sequences, and a plethora of familiar Hollywood faces and names, almost all of which do a fine job. The cast includes James Cagney, Joe E. Brown, Dick Powell, Mickey Rooney, Victor Jory, Ian Hunter, Olivia de Havilland, Grant Mitchell, Frank McHugh, Hugh Herbert, Arthur Treacher, Billy Barty, Kenneth Anger and Angelo Rossitto, and those are just the names I recognize. Visually, it's stunning, particularly in the scenes involving the fairies; any fan of fantasy will definitely want to take in some of these moments. It does have some problems; if you throw in the overture and the end music, the movie runs two hours and twenty-two minutes, and it could use some pruning throughout its length, In particular, we do have too many sequences of fairies scampering about to little or no purpose. It's also easy to get annoyed with Mickey Rooney's Puck; his laugh (which goes up the musical scale and ends with a screech) is overused, as is his character. On the plus side, the comedy is actually quite funny at times (actually being funny wasn't one of Shakespeare's strengths), thanks to some shrewd casting. Any movie which gives you a chance to see James Cagney blow kisses to Joe E. Brown through Hugh Herbert's parted fingers is worth at least one viewing.

Tyson Fury retained his WBC heavyweight title but only after rising from the canvas twice before knocking out Deontay Wilder in the 11th round of a spellbinding contest at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
This third fight between the pair was unquestionably their most riveting with five knockdowns in total, Wilder the first to go over after sinking to his knees in the face of some punishing blows from his great rival.
Wilder not only survived the third round but turned the fight on its head in the next session with his famed right hand decking Fury twice and this time it was the Briton holding on to preserve his unbeaten record.
But the exertions seemed to take their toll on Wilder and Fury regained the upper hand around the scheduled halfway stage, evening up the knockdowns in the 10th before a flurry in the penultimate round brought an end to the bout.
Fury said in the ring afterwards: "It was a great fight, worthy of the best trilogies. I will not make any excuses, Wilder is a top fighter, he gave me a run for my money.
"I always say I am the best fighter in the world and he is the second best. Don't ever doubt me. When the chips are down I can always deliver."

Its 9AM on a cool Sunday morning in KL about a week ago. The two of us laid in bed and wondering how best to spend the final day of the weekend before the blues of Monday took over. Our favorite parks? Nah, its too late as it will only get warmer and more humid in a couple of hours as noon approached. Shopping mall? Too mundane. Suddenly the brilliant thinking inside of me speaks out "Let's be tourist for the day, you know visit places we normally won't go cos we think only foreigners does such things". Unanimous decision made and boy it was an excellent one.
After a typical mamak-styled breakfast, a plate of nasi kandar to be exact for the femish pregnant woman (like myself), it is only right to complete the tour using only public transport. I mean isn't that what typical tourist would go for? We took Grabcar to the nearest LRT station and headed for 1) Central Market or Pasar Seni.
By then it was already around 10:30 AM at central market and the complex was warming up with visitors. Honestly it was probably my second time being there. We were greeted with colourful traditional tile flooring which sort of reminds me of baba & nyonya houses in Malacca. Traditional music playing in the air and the air-conditioning is working beautifully making it so comfortable walking around. We were in flip-flops, to complete the tourist like experience. We were at awed looking at the souvenirs on sale at the small shops and even tempted to buy. Batik merchandise, rattan bags & I love Malaysia t-shirts at RM10 each. Definitely a steal! We took our sweet time getting lost in the tiny alley in the building before heading out to Laluan Kasturi or Kasturi Lane beside the complex. It's an alley filled with more stalls selling souvenirs and local foods.
We continued our journey by making our way to 2) Petaling Street, 10 minutes of walking distance to a place made famous by selling imitations of high end brands. Its interesting seeing the sales people trying to sell their products especially to foreigners. I was more interested looking at the surrounding and the architectures of that place. From the red lanterns hanging above to the skinny buildings guarding the sides. We arrived at the MRT station and my jakun-ness kicks in. Not to mention hubby was rather embarrassed looking at his wife so excited and shrieking over the newly built train system. The building was new and the aircondition was superb. Perfect to cool off after the long walks.
We decided to take the train and went for 3) Ikea at the Curve in Mutiara Damansara. It was surprisingly a short journey and a comfortable one. The train was wide and the seats were plenty. After lunch and our usual tour in Ikea fantasizing how we would decorate our new house next year, we went back to MRT and instead of home we went to check out 4) Bukit Bintang. There were like 8 exits at that station which reminds me of the trains in Seoul (how I missed that place). Walking down Bukit Bintang to 5) Pavillion and it was almost dark. Surprisingly my lil doll was so sweet and easy to deal with the entire time. Honestly, I was so tired by that time but hubby decided to get a grabcar to 6) KLCC and have dinner there. Finally after that we took the LRT home.
It was a great yet super tiring experience. In comparison, we skipped the weekend traffic traveling at any time we pleased via public transport and spent less than RM50 for transport alone (MRT, LRT and Grabcar) which if were to drive to all the destinations, gas and parking would cost us double.
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Taking a ride on the Harley Quinn Parkway! This week's episode asks: what separates a villain from a super-villain? What bad guy wants to work with Joker's ex-girlfriend? Episode 3 explores the villainous difficulties of being a woman in a male-dominated field of super-villains.
If there was a negative from episode 3, it has to be the lack of Poison Ivy. Sadly, Ivy, voiced by Lake Bell, takes a breather in "So You Need a Crew?" With that out of the way, let's jump right in to the takeaways and best moments from this week's episode.
Harley Quinn wants a crew…
Episode three starts off with Harley Quinn attempting to steal a warhead from a speeding train in Russia. All seemingly goes to plan until Joker ruins the party and throws Harley Quinn. "You're only successful because you have goons doing the work for you" says Harley. Joker has her thrown off the train with Harley coming to the realization: I need a crew.
Getting a crew isn't easy, especially when you're a former girlfriend of Joker and Poison Ivy wants to stay solo. Underworld Talent Inc (UTI), who assign heroes henchmen and women, want nothing to do with Harley. Even locals at a neighborhood dive bar choose to work with Kite Man over Harley. Word travels fast as Poison Ivy seemingly isn't quite over Kite Man's advances from last week's episode. Could this be setting up a future hook up? All signs point to yes.
No one wants anything to do with Joker's ex-girlfriend…
According to Poison Ivy, there is a glass ceiling for female super-villains. In the sexist world of DC, female super-villains are only tolerated if they don't become too powerful. Poison Ivy's message brings Harley to the Queen of Fables, voiced by Wanda Sykes. After being caught by the Justice League, thrown into Arkham Asylum and treated like a mastermind, the Queen of Fables is transformed into a tax book. No, I did not type that wrong.
Harley's next step is to find a villain that no one believes in. That brings her to Dr. Psycho, who was recently banned from the Legion of Doom for publicly calling Wonder Woman the "c" word. Dr. Psycho is voiced by Tony Hale, who is most recently famous for his voice-work as Forky from Toy Story 4 and the Disney+ series Forky Asks a Question.
The introduction of a new, incredible character…
Dr. Psycho, along with the hilarious wannabe actor Clayface, join Harley to cast revenge against motivational speaker/self-proclaimed super-villain Maxie Zeus, voiced by Will Sasso. Sasso's most recent work includes the highly recommended Christmas flick Klaus on Netflix. Quinn and crew eventually convince Zeus to tell a local news station that "Harley's crew ain't nothing to f*** with." This gives Harley some serious street cred and makes her an instant threat to Joker.
This show has done very well with representing many of the major side characters in DC Comics. It was Commissioner Gordon stealing the show in the premiere. It was Bane taking every scene in the second episode.
Clayface steals every scene…
The highlight of this week's episode was Clayface, voiced by Alan Tudyk (who also voices Joker). Clayface's over-the-top acting and performance as Maxie Zeus' son was outright hysterical. Better yet, Clayface is now officially part of Harley Quinn's crew. If this means more Clayface in the future, then we're all winners this week.
For the first time we see the heroes in Harley Quinn. Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman all make an appearance this week. While I'm having a blast watching Harley Quinn wreak havoc on the bad guys of the DC universe, I'm truly hoping that we'll get to see Harley eventually take on the Justice League.
My Grade: 7.8/10
Very solid episode this week. It was fun watching the Justice League get some nods but the show's strength is the relationship between Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn. Unfortunately, Poison Ivy sat on the couch for the majority of this episode. The best moments of this show have come between these two female super-villains and here's to hoping Ivy eventually joins Harley's crew in the nearby future. Episode four of Harley Quinn releases on the DC Universe on December 20th.

As you likely already know, the governor has ordered the indefinite closure of all Louisiana movie theaters in response to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis. That decree makes our weekly What's Playing in Town report something of a sham, but I thought I'd continue to share weekly movie recommendations anyway (all in an effort to maintain the fictional veneer of Normalcy). I'll just be shifting into Online Streaming options as a substitute for the time being.
In that spirit, here are some suggestions for movies that you can stream at home while under quarantine: a grab bag of movies Swampflix has rated 5-stars that are currently available for home viewing.
Streaming with Subscription
Parasite (2019) – From Boomer's review: "Money is an iron. For the Parks, it is the metaphorical iron that makes life smooth and effortless, and the iron strength of the walls that separate them from the riffraff below. For the Kims, it is the iron of prison bars that keep them in a metaphorical prison of society and, perhaps, a literal one; it is the weight that drags them down, a millstone to prevent them from ever escaping the trap of stratified social classes." Currently streaming on Hulu.
Marjorie Prime (2017) – From Boomer's review: "If you search for the film online, it's defined as a drama/mystery, but that's not entirely accurate. There is a dark family secret that slowly unscrolls and unspools over the course of the movie's runtime, recounted in different ways by different people (some of whom aren't people at all), but it's not a mystery that you want to solve. The characters in the film don't want to remember, and that affects the viewer as well; once you know the truth, you remember that the urge to expunge is often as powerful as the urge to record, that the desire to remember is counterposed by all the things we wish we could forget. Marjorie Prime is at turns celebratory and solemn, weaving back and forth through different perspectives and memories that seem at times false and sometimes too real, and occasionally both." Currently streaming on Amazon Prime, for free (with a library card) on Hoopla, and for free (with ads) on Vudu & Tubi.
Unfriended (2015)– From our Movie of the Month discussion: "I'm starting to feel like somewhat of a phony fan of this movie even though I often go out of my way to promote its legacy. I've now watched it on the big screen and on my living room television, but I've never bothered to screen it with headphones on my laptop for the Pure Unfriended experience, the way I assume it was intended to be seen. This feels like the inverse of the blasphemy of a young brat watching Lawrence of Arabia for the first time on a smartphone. It's also further implication that I'm an out of touch old man who has no business taking as much pleasure in these teen-oriented, social media-obsessed genre film frivolities as I do." Currently streaming on HBO Go.
Streaming VOD
Raw (2017) – From Boomer's review: "I was beaten to the punch by Catherine Bray of Variety in the comparisons that were most evident to me, as she called Raw 'Suspiria meets Ginger Snaps,' which was my thought exactly while sitting in the theater. The school setting lends itself to the former allusion, as does the stunningly saturated color pallette and the viscerality of the gore (which is less present than one would expect from either the marketing or the oft-cited fainting of several audience members at the Toronto premier), while the coming-of-age narrative as explored by two sisters with a complex relationship makes the latter reference apparent. Make no mistake, however: even for the strongest stomachs amongst us, there will be something in this film that turns that organ inside out." A $4 rental on all major VOD platforms.
Paperhouse (1988) – From our Movie of the Month discussion: "After two smaller films that are largely forgotten, Rose directed Paperhouse, which was a perennial favorite on IFC in the early 2000s, before moving on to direct cult classic (and his only other truly great film) Candyman released in 1992. Candyman is undeniably a horror film, and Paperhouse was largely lumped in with the horror genre upon home video release as well, despite not strictly deserving that distinction. It's much more of a mood piece, with a relatively simple story elevated by striking visuals and a moodily beautiful score by Stanley Myers and Hans Zimmer." A $4 rental on all major VOD platforms.
The Funhouse (1981) –From our Movie of the Month discussion: "The Funhouse comes across as a run-of-the-mill B-movie because it follows the generic B-horror movie storyline; a group of teens get high and decide to get crazy & spend the night in their local carnival's funhouse. It really doesn't get cheesier than that, but somehow The Funhouse manages to be seriously scary. […] The gruesome murders that take place in the funhouse filled with horrifying animatronic clowns and evil dolls will haunt your dreams forever, or at least for a day or two." A $4 rental on all major VOD platforms.

Learn about our Medical Review Board Print Photo © Getty Images Table of Contents View All Table of Contents Breathing Awareness Cleansing Breath Patterned Paced Breathing If you take a childbirth class, a skill that you will likely learn is how to breathe during labor. One of the most well-known examples is "Lamaze breathing," which has been around since the 1960s. Today, it's just one of many breathing methods that are taught. If you take a birthing class, you will probably learn about several of the techniques that came after Lamaze. Any breathing method you choose to learn can help you cope with the emotional and physical ups and downs of labor. Here is a look at a few common breathing techniques that can relieve pain and help you relax during labor. Why Labor Hurts Breathing Awareness One of the first things you will learn is how to become more aware of your breath. In addition to childbirth classes, breathing awareness is also used in yoga classes. To use this technique, sit comfortably and place one hand on your chest and the other on your belly (under your belly button). Get into a comfortable position and close your eyes. Focus on your breath. Find your natural, relaxed breathing pattern (it doesn't matter if you breathe in and out through your nose, mouth, or both). Noticing your breath and paying attention to it can have a calming effect. It might also help if your partner or doula goes through this exercise with you. Abdominal Breathing for Labor Cleansing Breath A cleansing breath (or greeting breath) can work wonders during a contraction. This type of breath can serve as a signal to yourself (and others) that your focus is about to shift fully to the impending contraction. Learning how to breathe slowly and deeply can help you avoid hyperventilating, which can happen if you are stressed, anxious, or in pain. Start by taking a long, slow, deep breath in and slowly blowing it out. Some people find that doing this twice as the contraction is starting helps them focus on it. You can also use this breathing pattern with conscious relaxation to enter a more restful state between contractions. With this technique, you focus on releasing the tension in your muscles. It can also be helpful for your partner or doula to be on the lookout for signs that you are tensing up without being aware of it (for example, you are clenching your teeth or fists). Cleansing breaths can be used alone or with other relaxation techniques and breathing methods. How to Relax During Early Labor Patterned Paced Breathing Patterned paced breathing (also called conscious controlled breathing) can have different meanings and uses. In general, the levels of breathing vary in depth, duration, and speed to correspond to the rise and fall of a contraction. Some people like having a specific way to breathe because it can be a form of distraction during labor, but it's OK if you find it too restrictive or difficult to follow. Patterned breathing can be a slightly faster version of your own natural breathing rate. You can also use a slower rate and throw occasional sighs or vocalizations to release tension (which can be planned or spontaneous). This technique will look and sound different for everyone. You might try breathing normally for a few seconds, then releasing an "ah" every few breaths. You could also breathe normally and allow yourself to make whatever noise feels right in the moment. You might recognize this style of breathing as the classic "hee-hee-hoo" pattern that is often seen in childbirth scenes from TV and in the movies. The pant-pant-blow method was popularized by Lamaze classes but has since been adapted to other techniques. Lamaze Childbirth Education While it might feel a bit silly, the words or vocalizations are meant to be rhythmic and comforting. After a cleansing breath, continue to breathe while saying the words (ah, hah, hee, hoo, or whatever else you come up with) until the end of the contraction. Then, finish with another cleansing breath. You might decide that you'd rather use numbers instead of words, or have your partner or doula count you through the breathing pattern you choose. However, if you have someone else count with (or for) you and find that it's not helping (or it becomes annoying), that's OK! Just because you planned to use a technique does not mean you have to stick with it if it's not working. A Word From Verywell Even though you already know how to breathe naturally, you might find it beneficial to hone your breathing skills and learn new techniques that could help you through your labor. You can use your breathing to increase and direct your focus, as well as relax your body and release muscle tension. Try different breathing methods throughout your pregnancy and keep track of the ones that appeal to you. You can also involve your partner, doula, or other support people who will be present when you give birth. You can make a list of techniques that you want to use during labor and even make them an official part of your birth plan. Just remember that you can always change your mind.

Increasing compulsory super will strip $20b from workers' wages, Grattan Institute says
A legislated plan to increase compulsory superannuation contributions from 9.5 per cent to 12 per cent by 2025 would strip up to $20 billion from workers' wages each year, or nearly 1 per cent of gross domestic product (GDP), according to the Grattan Institute.
The move, which is supported by both major political parties, would save the federal budget about $2 billion a year if it goes ahead.
But modelling from the Grattan Institute suggests by the time it was fully implemented in 2025-26, a 12 per cent super guarantee would result in a $20 billion cut to workers' wages, and low-to-middle income Australians would be worst hit.
Grattan Institute fellow Brendan Coates called on both major parties to rethink the increase.
"For an election that's all about stagnating wages it's remarkable that both sides have this policy," he told ABC News.
"It's particularly remarkable for Labor, which is staking its case on the fact that wages haven't been rising."
The Productivity Commission recently looked at the issue and suggested further research be carried out before the increase is implemented.
Move will leave workers 'poorer': Coates
Mr Coates said the policy would take wages from workers today without them getting substantially higher retirement incomes.
"It actually makes them poorer over their lifetime," he said. "They lose 2.5 per cent of wages each year and get and less than 1 per cent a year boost to their retirement incomes."
Mr Coates said middle-income Australians would be particularly hard hit for two reasons.
First, the pension is benchmarked to wages. "If wages grow less, which they will if super contributions rise, then the pension grows by less," Mr Coates said, adding pensioners should be outraged.
The second reason, he said, is the pension is means tested.
Mr Coates said more superannuation did not translate to more retirement income as most of it would be clawed back by the age pension asset test, especially for middle-income Australians.
"Someone on about $45,000 a year median income working a full working life [37 years] will start their life on a part age pension," he said.
"The extra income they have from super is $50,000 but they lose over their lifetime about $40,000 in pension payments. So the boost to their retirement income is microscopic."
The Grattan Institute has previously argued that reducing fees charged on Australians' superannuation funds would do more to boost retirement incomes.
In any case, Grattan has previously done projections showing most Australians, except women who rent, are already on track to have adequate retirement incomes.
Super industry modelling 'flawed'
Mr Coates said modelling commissioned by the super industry which suggested Australians did not have enough to retire on was based on flawed assumptions.
"Industry Super Australia points to the higher super balances workers will have at retirement if compulsory super contributions are increased," he said.
"But it's a misleading story. More super at retirement is only useful if it actually translates to higher incomes in retirement. And for most low- and middle-income-earners, it won't help much."
A full-time worker on the minimum wage could already expect a retirement income 20 per cent higher than their after-tax wage when working.
"Even workers in their 40s and 50s today — many of whom didn't benefit from the present high rate of compulsory super contributions for their entire working lives — can expect a retirement income of more than 70 per cent of their pre-retirement incomes," Mr Coates said.
Further, he said, in the long term the change would not save the budget money because super tax breaks exceed pension savings.
"Super tax breaks will exceed any decline in pension spending until at least 2060," Mr Coates said.
The Grattan's estimate of a $20 billion hit to workers' wages is based on projecting forward the hit to wages to 2025-26 arising from an increase in the Superannuation Guarantee to 12 per cent as scheduled, from 9.5 per cent today.
"We take estimates of compulsory super contributions today from the ATO, project them forward to 2025-26 using nominal GDP forecasts in the budget papers, accounting for the extra compulsory super contributions that will arise from a 12 per cent Superannuation Guarantee rate," Mr Coates said.

Forest Service Issues Decision on Continental Divide TrailOriginally posted on November 24, 2009 at 20:16 pm
Steve Sherwood, Director of the Rocky Mountain Region's Recreation, Heritage, and Wilderness programs further explains, "An important feature of the new directive is that, while it establishes hiking and horseback riding as the primary uses of the trail, it clearly allows for other shared, non-motorized and human-powered uses—including mountain biking. The directive charges the local land managers with making the decision on which uses will be allowed based on an analysis of the local conditions. These decisions will be made under the auspices of NEPA and will allow for full public involvement."
"As far as I am concerned, this is a very positive outcome that promotes shared use of the trail," Sherwood continues. "We had a lot of push back on the issue of shared use beyond hiking and horseback riding and we still have strong advocates each way both within the agency and externally, but people need to understand that the CDNST is a 3,100-mile trail that can and needs to accommodate multiple uses."
The amendment's focus on district-by-district management strategies makes it imperative for mountain bike clubs to work closely with their foresters. "The decision provides a basis for Forest Service offices that are willing to maintain or even expand access for mountain bikers," says IMBA Government Affairs Director Jenn Dice. "However, it also states that hiking and equestrian uses are the original intention for creating the trail, so mountain bikers are going to have to continue making a case for shared-use arrangements that allow citizens to get the maximum recreation value out of this wonderful national resource."

Okay, gettin' creative here at 9:37 at night. Does it count for a Friday finish, if you finish it at the end of a Friday?
Hope so.
What I finished today: Grading 23 MLA (Modern Language Association) tests for class (no photo–you can imagine this one)
Cutting out the pieces for the Rubrik's Cube quilt
Correcting the color and sending to print about 230 photos for my quilt journal project
Now can I call it a night? I'd be tempted to but my dashboard widget says it's still 91 degrees out there and when I opened the door to check, I smelled smoke–fire's in the air. Ah, end of summer, Southern California-style: Heat and Fires.
But look what an East Coast friend sent to me, that made me do a happy dance at the mailbox: some Going Coastal fat quarters. Their coast has certainly been active this week, what with an earthquake and an impending hurricane. But even with all that, my friend sent a smile all the way across the USA. Thanks!

East Med Yacht Show 2017 Aims to Showcase Greece's Tourism Strength
Greek chartering companies, travel agents and shipbrokers as well as businesses providing services in marine tourism are ready for the opening of the 16th East Med Yacht Show on May 5 at the Zea Marina in Piraeus, with the participation of over 50 craft, including motor yachts, sailing yachts, catamarans and bareboats, as well as experts and yachting lovers at some 35 kiosks.
The annual show aims to promote quality sea tourism, upgrade services offered by pleasure boats, improve Greece's position on the global tourism market, establish Piraeus as a tourist destination, foster partnerships with foreign institutions and expand cooperation with other Greek stakeholders active in tourism.
"The East Med Yacht Show, one of the most important international marine tourism exhibitions, is part of our effort to promote Piraeus as a tourist destination… this requires patience and synergies," said Piraeus Mayor Yannis Moralis during a press conference on Tuesday ahead of the event.
Moralis added that "tourism, the sea and shipping are main pillars for the development of Piraeus" and that thousands of visitors will have the chance while attending the show to learn more about the city's sites, museums, and offerings.
"Last year we took a risk and we relocated an already recognized international exhibition to another venue. Our decision turned out to be correct and Piraeus is now the permanent host of the East Med Yacht Show," said Hellenic Professional Yacht Owners Association President Anthony Stelliatos.
The 16th East Med Yacht Show will wrap up on May 7.
The event will be held under the organization of the Hellenic Professional Yacht Owners Association (EPEST), the Hellenic Yacht Brokers Association (HYBA), the Hellenic Association of Travel and Tourist Agencies (HATTA) and the Greek Professional Yacht Owners Bareboat Association (SITESAP).

Admirals blow past Titans in the first round of region
Arpan Dixit
Herald Staff
All good things come to an end.
The three-year reign for the Mercer County Titans (7-11-2) boy's soccer team in the 12th region came to an end on Tuesday, Oct. 16, in a 4-0 loss to the Danville Admirals (17-1-1), in the first round of the region tournament, hosted by West Jessamine High School.
The Admirals were lead by Alec McAllister, who scored two goals, one on a penalty kick. Gabe Cisneros and Nathan Hazlett scored one goal each to round out the scoring.
The Titans had their opportunities throughout the game, but were unable to convert.
Kola Raskin, Marcus Lewis, Johnny Johnston, Angelo Ontiveros, Sam Warren, Andrew Turpin, Luke Dean and Jacob Cruz played their last high school game against the Admirals.
That senior class goes down as the only one in Titan soccer history to appear in three straight state tournaments.
"I told them that they can't hang their heads on this game," said an emotional Head Coach Doug McClain. "They've left behind a great legacy that saw them go to three straight state tournaments and that can't be taken away from them. This senior class has set the bar high for the future."
The Admirals were looking for revenge. It was the Titans who knocked them out of the region tournament last year in Somerset en route to their third straight region title.
It's safe to say the Admirals got their revenge in the biggest way.
The Titans end their season with a 7-12-1 record, going 5-6 in region play and 3-3 in district play.
"Soccer can be an ugly game. Sometimes the ball bounces in and sometimes it doesn't," said McClain. "We knew they were going to be tough. They are a really good team. Once we got settled, it was too late. But overall, this season has been great. We've had our ups and down like every team. We've played a very tough schedule and I think that will help us next season. It's been fun to coach a great group of kids."
Goals: Marcus Lewis 16, Andrew Turpin 12, Luke Dean 5, Hunter Booth 5, Jamie Bordeaux 4, Angelo Ontiveros 2, Nate Randall 1, Taylor Booth 1, Kola Raskin 1, Sammy Berger 1, John Beaven 1, Johnny Johnston 1.
Assists: Jamie Bordeaux 7, Hunter Booth 4, Marcus Lewis 3, James Johnston 3, Angelo Ontiveros 2, John Beaven 1, Sammy Berger 1, Job Aparcio 1, Taylor Booth 1, Luke Dean 1, Jeron Winchester 1, Andrew Turpin 1.
Clean sheets/games: Chris Day 2/15.
Saves/goals allowed: Aiden West 26/11, Chris Day 24/10, Sam Warren 2/3.

Safeguarding our building for communities
Sage Gateshead was founded on the principle that music could play a vital role in the social, cultural and economic health of the North. Since we opened our doors to the public in 2004, millions have listened, danced and cried to music performed in our world-class concert halls.
Designed by Foster and Partners in response to the region's heritage and landscape, our iconic building is a landmark and source of regional pride. We are a world-class performance space, a centre for music education and a community meeting place.
Our building is home to: three concert halls, each acclaimed as having amongst the best acoustics in Europe; a music education centre with twenty-six rehearsal rooms; and a 3,000m2 public area for free performances, activities for families, festivals and more.
We are the proud custodians of this extraordinary building, but this comes at a financial cost. 60% of our income comes from concerts, classes and events – this income stopped overnight. A further 20% of our income will be significantly impacted by the Covid-19 crisis. Without this income we will struggle to meet the costs of our building during 2020 without support.

Localities that declared themselves "Sanctuary Cities" to reject federal law and coordination in order to harbor illegal immigrants are now begging for federal help in the face of the Wuhan virus pandemic.
New York City, which has become the epicenter of the Wuhan virus outbreak in the United States, is seeing a surging case load overwhelm its hospitals. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned Thursday that the situation has become so dire the city's morgues are reaching capacity. Hospitals are stretched thin with dwindling supplies as New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and the state's governor Andrew Cuomo plead for resources from the feds, all while skirting immigration laws as a sanctuary state and city.
Last week, Mayor de Blasio urged President Donald Trump to dispatch the military as the cases began to surge, but simultaneously taking the crisis opportunity to criticize the president.
"The fate of New York City rests in the hands of one. He is a New Yorker. And right now, he is betraying the city he comes from," de Blasio said, never mind that the mayor's own lackluster response likely exacerbated the problem by encouraging New Yorkers to go to the movies and hesitating to close schools as the virus was blowing up.
De Blasio demanded 15,000 ventilators, 3 million N95 masks, 50 surgical masks, and 25 million surgical gowns, coveralls, and pairs of gloves in addition to mobilizing the military.
Gov. Cuomo made a similar request on Tuesday, calling on federal help to supply the state 30,000 ventilators from the national stockpile of medical supplies which only has little more than half that number in storage.
So far, the federal government has largely tried to adequately respond to the pleas for help with the available resources on hand, as it reasonably should.Read the rest of the story HERE.
