"He was concerned about putting (individual) numbers up and that really wasn't what we (Yankees) were all about. We were all about winning games." - Joe Torre

Greatest Britons 2007, ITV1
Kate Thornton (the presenter): A dried up pair of ruined housepainter's trousers ironed out and bleached in an effort to make them look presentable.
Amy Winehouse (the greatest living British musician – official) : A six-sided dice that has had all the markings eroded away by overuse but that still flings itself about in its box begging to be used.
Robbie Williams (not quite as good as Amy in the music category but he was one of the top five Great Britons): An abandoned, occupied coffin that is valiantly limping to try to and keep up with the rest of the funeral procession, but is really only holding up traffic.
The Queen (the winner – didn't bother showing up, though): A tarot card driven to stoic insanity by the knowledge of its inevitable future.
Prince Edward (did bother showing up to pocket mummy's award) : A piece of dog shit allowed to stay in the bowel well past the date upon which it should have been expelled.Ricky Gervais (the greatest living British TV star – official): A rabble of shirtless shirt buttons marching to London to demand fewer legal rights for trousers.
David Beckham (got a global achievement award but lost out to Sir Ranulph Fiennes when it came to the sports category): A star that has spent the last billion years reading an Agatha Christie novel but now has gone supernova on the penultimate page.
Geri Halliwell: A snort of a choleric horse's snout shortly before it is put down for bring too dull to ride.
The 1966 World Cup victory: A crime scene cordoned off for 41 years, where the crime is only remembered as it now obstructs pedestrians.
Paul McCartney (one of the top five Great Britons) : Thirty-seven years' worth of unsold calendars now providing tramps with material for mattresses.Giles Deacon (the greatest living British figure of fashion – official): The odorous remnants of a drunken laddette's belch sewn into the night sky with stardust.Margaret Thatcher (one of the top five Great Britons): The shaved-off fur from a cat about to undergo an operation that has been kicked under a desk by a lazy veterinary nurse.
Julie Andrews (one of the top five Great Britons): A stone cold cup of coffee being eyed thirstily by a neglected package holiday to Hollywood.
Sacha Baron Cohen: The frantic rush by a team of surveyors to measure and record the mouth span of a yawning child.
Daniel Craig: A lone lung protesting outside the Houses of Parliament about the heat of the sun.
Jimmy Carr: The impossibility of Jamie Oliver being frantically explained to a class of five-year-olds by a blooming garden as it is eaten alive by greenfly.
Kyran Bracken: Polish scraped from a shoe that was so bright that it blinded a car.
Gordon Brown: A warm hug that has become infested by a colony of cockroaches.
Gordon Ramsay: A sodden used teabag trying to launch itself to the Moon.
Sir Geoff Hurst: A blameless written sentence that has been barbarously chopped up and fed to feral window cleaners.
Simon Cowell: The opposite of water.
Peter Jones: A perfectly healthy heart that has been ripped from the chest and replaced by an auctioneer's rhythmically banging hammer.Bansky (the greatest living British artist – official): An unfair bank charge that has gone on a murderous massacre, killing hundreds of innocent questions.

Jennifer Utsch
Artist Jennifer Utsch has always been passionate about art and creating. Seeing promise, her high school teacher, urged her to enroll in art school. Like so many, Jennifer never believed there was a future for her in art; so, she veered in the opposite direction. Yearning to escape to the West, she left her home town Virginia, and headed for college in the great Rocky Mountains. She graduated with degrees in Spanish and International Relations. She pursued careers in Law Enforcement, Firefighting and Real Estate.
Though the work was exciting and rewarding, Jennifer still felt unsatisfied and restless. This is when she turned back to her first love, and established Mandala Recycled Art in 1998.
Although these educations and careers were not "right" for me, she now sees how her paths led her to this point in her life. Law enforcement provided her with the assertiveness and awareness needed to be self-employed, and firefighting gave her the appreciation and connection with fire, as well as, the knowledge of using the oxy-acetylene torch. Real Estate prepared her for the daily office routine that any business requires.
In a nutshell, these experiences looped back to her youthful passion with art and allowed her to understand it in new ways. Wanting to work with people and the environment, wanting to see and show the connections between each other and with the earth, Jennifer began to envision how she could make the interconnections of these passions into her life's work.
Now, she collects "trash" and makes it "work" for her; it is in this simplicity that creates beauty and allows new ideas to flow.
Jennifer designs all products with the use the hand torch. All metal is reclaimed (mostly sheet metal and steel cans). She then hand paints and assembles each piece with beads selected from Sustainable Cooperatives in India and Indonesia. collection

I stayed 4 nights, 28th June to 2nd July 2012 and travelled on my own non stop from Australia to Bangkok then on to Paris and changed airports then straight on to Marakech, arrived a bit shell shocked, disorientated and exhausted but was looked after so well. Paolo really is such a gentleman and the best host, kind hearted with such a generous spirit and will do whatever he can to help your stay be better or more interesting. Paolo drove me around on the back of his scooter and showed me around to help me adjust. The Riad has a lot of charm and grace with very generous breakfasts, coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice which was the best! served when I wanted by the wonderful Ismail each morning at about 8 or 8.30am because I like to sleep in. Ismail greeted me with a great smile each morning and treated me like a VIP. The Emerald room I stayed in was very comfortable, discreetly cleaned daily with lots of space and was a cool oasis.Mohamad also is very charming and helpful to do whatever he can. Mohamad was actually very kind on my last day to drive me around on his scooter showing me around Marakech and I saw a weeks worth if I were to walk the streets myself. He saved my shopping in the end in that that he helped me find genuine beautiful moroccan scarves made in Morrocco and not ones made in china which I had purchased the day before. Mohamad also took me to a genuine morrocan herbalist shop and I got lots of great products like argon oil, shampoo, face creams, massage oils, room deoderisers etc etc..
The Riad is very close to the famous Marakech market of course and a wonderful place to stay! Thankyou Paolo, Ismail and Mohamad for making my stay that bit better and making me feel so welcome!!

Apps of the Week: Overcast, Ingress, Endless Numbers 1.2 + more
New Apps
Google Analytics (free) — Google has released a new Google Analytics app that allows users to access their web and app data from an iOS device. For those not in the know, Google Analytics is a popular service that offers website owners detailed site traffic statistics. The app offers Real Time reports, which lets users monitor recent changes.
Overcast: Podcast Player (free) — There is no shortage of thoughtfully designed podcast apps made to replace Apple's own app, which has been through many ups and downs since it was released. The latest, and perhaps most hotly anticipated, is Marco Arment's Overcast. The app is currently iPhone-only, available as a free download. It's fully usable as-is, although a $5 in-app purchase unlocks a number of features that enhance the experience, such as cellular downloads, a sleep timer, and unlimited playlists. The key features that help differentiate this one from the others on the market, apart from aesthetic design, are both audio engineering tricks that get unlocked when you spend the money. Smart Speed is a really cool tool; rather than increasing the speed of the podcast and making the speakers sound like chipmunks, it's able to detect gaps and edit out the silence, saving you time in listening. Voice Boost does just what its name says, making it easier to listen to podcasts in cars or other environments where there's background noise, without having to pump up the volume. Both Smart Speed and Voice Boost can be used for five minutes at a time before you decide to buy.
New Games
daWindci Deluxe ($3) — Mimimi Productions has released a new version of its popular, Apple Design Award winning daWindci game with daWindci Deluxe. The upgraded game — in which players paint wind, hurricanes, and lightning on screen to guide a hot air balloon through levels — now features full Retina support and new wind drawing mechanics. All new particle effects, crisper textures, and post effect shaders have also been added to the game. Considering the original daWindci is still $4, this is the one you want.
Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon ($5) — Marvel Entertainment's new game Guardians of the Galaxy: The Universal Weapon hits the App Store weeks before the upcoming film. A realtime strategic fighting game, GotG offers zero in-app purchases. Players can unlock, upgrade and control 25 characters. More than 60 levels are available in Story Mode, while an additional Arena Mode lets users play as the villains, as well.
Ingress (free) — Google's popular Ingress, which has long been played by Android users, has finally come to iOS. A free game, Ingress uses the real world as its map — players join either The Enlightened or The Resistance in a battle to capture territory and tap into the energy that exists at the heart of the game. Ingress players are all over the globe, and the game is a fun way of combining actual activity with an online sci-fi game — but some may not want Google tracking their every move.
Endless Numbers (free) — Originator's Endless Numbers children's learning app has updated to version 1.2. The new update brings a $10 in-app purchase that lets kids explore numbers 26-100. That follows a starter pack of in-app purchase for $5; all numbers can now be purchased for $12. While we've always been a big fan of Originator's funny, clever, smart apps for kids — and Endless Numbers is no exception — $10 is a steep price to pay for another IAP. We'd recommend it for children who already love the app and can learn those numbers, but otherwise we'd probably steer clear.
Google Wallet (free) — The updated Google Wallet app — version 2.0.16011.10356 — lets users digitize gift cards, and then track balances within the app. Those gift cards can then also be redeemed in stores directly from the app. Also, the app has added the ability to request money from friends and family in the US. Sending money from Google Wallet, a debit card, or a bank account is free, while a 2.9 percent fee is added to credit card transactions.
UP by Jawbone (free) — Jawbone has updated its UP app for its UP fitness tracker to version 3.2. The updated app now features a weight management option, and a redesigned food experience for logging meals. Additionally, the app now adds a food score to rate the healthiness of a certain dish with one number.

Stéfanie Renoma présente : Dancing Smoking
Film et musique, Clément Fontaine

Designer Walter Van Beirendonck reinterprets the archetypal headgear of war, a helmet from 1914, in this film directed by artist Bart Hess
Alcantara has been interpreted by the Indian designer Manish Arora to compose a magnificent art installation titled "Life is Beautiful", a fantasy house that glows in blue light and conveys a feeling of happiness and beauty.
"Life is beautiful" was presented to the public on the occasion of the opening of the Paris Auto Show, in the presence of the world-renowned fashion icon Diane Pernet.
Photos courtesy of Isabel Felmer
The colorful and joyous love story between Manish Arora and Paris began in 2007 with momentous runway shows that, beyond business, aim at restoring optimism and lightness to the down-and-out fashion public.
Beyond the runways and the Fédération française de la Couture, du Prêt à Porter des Couturiers et des Créateurs de Mode where he is a member, Paris has also become his second home, 10000 kilometers away from languid New Delhi and its incredible craftsmanship, an integral part of the brand. It was therefore natural for Manish Arora to open his first flagship in Paris, after the presentation of his Spring-Summer 2015 collection.
In just a few seasons, the Indian designer has wooed a demanding public looking to distinguish itself. After the success of his Galeries Lafayette corner and of the Galerie Joyce pop-up shop in 2013, Manish Arora has decided to take this new step and welcome his clients into his own world.
Located at 5 rue Rouget-de-L'Isle, between the Tuileries garden and rue Saint-Honoré, in an area reputed for its exclusive addresses and a stone's throw away from most Parisian palaces, the Manish Arora boutique is conceived as a natural extension to his Parisian home, with its colored glass panels, the pink and gold that sign all this collections, all distilled in-store on furniture, fittings and displays.
The store was imagined by the Milan-Paris based studio Riccardo Haiat (www.riccardohaiat.com), whose business focuses in the conception of boutiques, restaurants and apartments. The architect wanted to combine the strong and coloured univers of manish arora with a pure and elegant touch that well integrates the Parisian context of the rue de Rivoli.
With its two street-facing windows, and its 130 square meters, the boutique features dual spaces of beautiful volumes. Facing the street, there will be Manish Arora's ready-to-wear, his accessories and selected pieces from his Indian by Manish Arora collection (until then exclusive to the Indian market), as well as a curated selection of his favorite items: Varanasi toys or artwork, small trinkets or unique pieces, temptations of the day or of a lifetime.
At the back, the space will be dedicated to exhibitions, showroom presentation and private events, in relation with the enchanted world of Manish Arora.
By combining retail and exhibition spaces, Manish Arora will fully inhabit this location, marking it fully as his Parisian headquarters.
Address : 5 rue Rouget-de-l'Isle 75001 Paris
Open from Monday to Saturday :
Monday 2pm-7pm
Tuesday to Saturday 11pm-7pm
Embracing Uncertainty
"The freedom of the individual and the many different ways in which people live their lives provided the inspiration for my collection. To me, being open to everything and not following any predefined rules is a sign of our times. The individual's attitude and take on life are the elements that perfect the look - everything is wearable, there are no rules."
Creative Director Andrea Karg's enthusiasm for experimentation is visible on multiple levels. Using exquisite craftsmanship, contrasting textures are transformed into finely crafted structures which are typically associated with Allude. Minimalistic and clear silhouettes are translated into feminine, delicate and emotional looks by incorporating appliqué details and cut-outs.
Precise geometric shapes and patterns are skilfully featured, creating a light and airy effect thanks to transparent base materials, rhinestones or raw, untreated cashmere and fringing.
"The collection interprets jacquards, Vichy and pepita in an entirely new way by strategically playing with different knits. Particularly with pepita patterns, shades of nude have a softening effect on seemingly harsh colour contrasts."
Flat, open sandals were created for the collection as the perfect way to round off the look. The opulently crafted cashmere plaids are worn on a leather harness.
"I can't change the world, but I can make it a little more pleasurable."
Alcantara featured by Manish Arora!!!
Alcantara is pleased to invite you to "Life is beautiful"
A one night event where you'll discover the iconic installation by the inspiring designer Manish Arora
2nd october 2014 from 8pm to midnight @ Mondial de l'Automobile Officiel
Press RSVP: email@example.com
The collection is about coming undone in time - falling apart – floating off in space.
It embodies the contrasts between something extremely private and personal but at the same time exposed and revealed. An intimate room within infinity.
The silhouettes are inspired by the idea of the existence of cybernetic organisms that embrace both organic and technologic components. The invention and reinvention of nature.
A cat-lady in a broken time machine…
This feeling is evoked by the use of a reinterpretation of traditional handy craft methods. Devoré techniques, quilting, ruffles and smocking made on a 1950's domestic machine, all used to create a deteriorating feminine silhouette.
Leather, linen, hand painted silk and mink fur comes undone in complex juxtapositions, combining lightness and strength, heavy ropes and ruffles.
A patchwork of melting mechanical shapes, frayed edges, coats falling apart.


text: on Jun 10, 2014 @ 2:11 AMJun 10, 2014 @ 2:11 AM PublishedWatchdog to determine punishment soon on Amore Pacific for unfair business: sourcesSEJONG, June 10 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's antitrust watchdog is expected to determine its level of punishment soon for Amore Pacific Corp. on charges that the country's largest cosmetics maker abused its market power against sales outlets and smaller companies, government sources said Tuesday.Some speculate that the fines could be tens of billions of won, given the punishment in a similar case before.Amore Pacific is accused of forcing sales outlets to take more products than they can afford by abusing its market influence, an allegation that the company has denied. The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) started its investigation after the allegations were first raised in June last year.This case renewed the controversy over large conglomerates' power over smaller companies in supply deals, which were brought to public attention in May last year when an employee of Namyang Dairy Products Co. was recorded on tape insulting and threatening a small store owner to buy more stock than he can sell.Sources said that the Seoul branch of the FTC has wrapped up its probe on Amore Pacific and notified the company of the results. If the company responds with its own stance within two weeks, the FTC would then set a date for deliberation on the case."We expect that corrective orders, including fines and others, could be announced next month," an FTC official said.The FTC stopped short of elaborating on the level of punishment, but it is expected to be based on an earlier ruling on Namyang Dairy, which was ordered to pay 12.3 billion won (US$12.1 million) in fines.At the time, the FTC also had referred some former and incumbent company executives and employees to prosecutors for more investigation."Corrective measures will be determined based not just on our investigation (into Amore Pacific) but also precedents, including the Namyang case," another FTC official said.The level of fines is usually determined by taking into consideration the amount of sales related to unfair business activities and the duration and the nature of such violations, among other things.Exact figures on sales that Amore Pacific might have generated through such unfair business practices have not been disclosed.Given that Amore Pacific's total sales last year stood at 3.89 trillion won, which was more than three times the 1.23 trillion won of Namyang Dairy, some observers speculate the fine could be tens of billions of won.<All rights reserved by Yonhap News Agency>

The zoupa di pimodoro is rich and tasty. I personally like the salad with goat's cheese as well for starters. Best spaghetti vongole I ever had!
There's a Batelco shop inside. A collection of apparel shops and fast food joints. At some point, THE spot for Riffa/Sanad/Sitra families.
Good burger, AMAZING fish and chips and very friendly service. Good for watching sports on TV.

Sheesha is one of the best! This is where I had my first 7up + Vimto.
The Fish Market Restaurant has great seafood! Try the lobster.
Arguably one of the best pizza places in Bahrain! Cafe Italia salad and caprese salad are good starters. Cafe italia penne pasta is a favorite.
Popeye has good chicken. My fav here is the tiriyaki beef noodles. Fresh juice is alright too
Generally the grills are not bad. Rice dishes are good for lunch. Try the vine leaves (waraq 3enab)

A travel junky with a dry sense of humor, a love for mountain air and city noises, and an addiction to world affairs.
I grew up in India's most cosmopolitan city, Bombay, and came to the US for college. That was 12 years ago. I've lived in the midwest, northeast and the mid-atlantic, but New York is where home is now. I love adventure and trying new things. I enjoy hiking, kayaking and have just started taking skiing lessons. I love traveling and have enjoyed all the countries I've been to -- Vietnam, South Africa, Namibia, Chile and Uganda to name a few. I work in international development, and have a passion for world affairs as well as an appreciation for political satire. My job takes me to a lot of hard places in the world. It gives me a sense of purpose, and value for the opportunities I've been given. I'm looking for someone who shares my love for travel and adventure, has passion and drive for what he does, has integrity and a great sense of humor. Did I mention I love to laugh?

Drug courts and mental health courts have expanded rapidly in the past several decades to provide more efficient coordination of treatment and supervision of offenders with behavioral health problems. A significant number of offenders in these court-based programs have co-occurring mental and substance use disorders, which predict early termination, relapse, rearrest, and other negative outcomes. A web-based national survey examined programmatic adaptations for co-occurring disorders (CODs) among 54 drug courts, mental health courts, and freestanding COD dockets. COD dockets were smaller and of longer duration, and provided more intensive services than programs situated in drug courts or in mental health courts. However, more similarities than differences were noted across the different types of court-based program. Key adaptations for CODs included extended program duration, highly intensive and integrated treatment, smaller, less formal, and more frequent hearings, and use of specialized supervision teams and dually credentialed staff.

Rain Reign and Crossover
For the past several years, my ladies book club has decide to spend the months of December and January reading children's novels that have a chance at the Newbery Medal. We do a bit of research, come up with about 15 to 20 titles, then share the books. We meet in January and talk about our favorites. The Newbery Medal is announced at the end of January.
This year, the book I liked most was Rain Reign by Ann M. Martin. The story is about an autistic girl and her dog. It is a beautiful, beautiful book. I was extremely disappointed when the Newbery Medal was awarded to Kwame Alexander's Crossover, a book I hadn't even heard of.
Well, I just finished reading Crossover, and I am delighted that it won the award. It is a wonderful novel-in-verse about two African American brothers who love basketball. I'm not male, I'm not African American, and I don't much like basketball. It doesn't matter! The story is brilliant and the writing inspired. Alexander's poetry jumps off the page and sings in your head. Some poetry you have to read aloud to hear it as poetry, but I could hear the cadence and the rhymes in my head even in silent reading.
Crossover is not only a book for people who love to read, it is a book that will appeal to those who hardly ever read. So, hats off to Kwame Alexander and the Newbery Award committee. Great book. Great choice.

My Little Free Library
The first Little Free Library was started in 2009 in Wisconsin. Since that time, more than 15,000 Little Free Libraries have been built.
I am happy to announce that my family has built a Little Free Library:
Our little library is near the end of our driveway (so the snow plow doesn't knock it over in the winter). Books are available to anyone who walks by and wants to borrow one. The Little Free Library works on the honor system. Readers can borrow and return a book, or swap books.
People ask: Aren't you worried that someone will steal the books? The answer is: a free book cannot be stolen!
My little free library is filled with books for both children and adults representing a variety of genres. My friend Sally helped paint the library and suggested the text above the door.
If you are ever in my neighborhood, stop by and borrow a book! To learn more about Little Free Libraries, visit the official website.

Good Books and Fit Bods
Are you an obsessive reader? Do you realize you need to exercise more than you do, but feel like you don't want to give up your reading time? You don't have to!
Here are several ideas to keep your body healthy and fit and keep your mind engaged in a good book.
The stationary bike. This is obvious. Reading and spinning. I do this about once a week during the school year—take my book with me to the YMCA, get on the bike, set up the workout, and read. After 30 minutes or so, I close my book and go shower. The exercise happens. The reading happens. I'm a happy camper. But not everyone has access to a stationary bike, so….
Walking and reading, inside. I've been doing this for most of my life. As a teenager, I was insecure about my weight, but wanted to spend my free time reading. This activity helped me stay healthy, feel good about myself, and not lose valuable reading time.
How: In a large room, walk in a circle while reading. Don't have a large room? Create a "track" and walk from room to room on the same path. Have stairs? Walk up and down those stairs while reading.
Warning: If you have never walked and read at the same time, begin slowly and carefully. You need to be able to read while still being aware of your surroundings.
Am I the only one who does this? It seems so reasonable to me, but others seem to find it odd. Inside works for when the weather is bad. It is a good option for those of you too embarrassed to read and walk outdoors.
Walking and reading, outside. First of all, leave the car at home and walk places—even if you don't take your book. But why not take your book? Combining errands and walking and reading just makes sense.
I often walk to and from work with a book in hand. A grocery store, a drug store, a movie rental place are all within a mile for me, so I walk there while reading. A thirty minute walk, with a book in hand, feels like about five minutes.
If you live in a big city, you will have lots of opportunities for walking and reading. No need to worry what others will think. Everyone else will be texting and won't even notice that you are holding a book and not a phone.
If you live in the suburbs, you might think this option doesn't work for you. On the contrary! Take a walk and read. I realize many suburban streets don't have sidewalks, so you'll need to walk on lawns or the edge of streets. I say, be that eccentric person in your neighborhood. Life is too short to pretend you aren't different. Embrace your passion for books!
Live in the country? Wander your quiet roads with a book. Look up from time to time to greet the horses or sheep. Fresh air, exercise and a good story. This is what life is all about.
Warning: If you have never walked and read at the same time, practice inside. You need to be able to read while still being aware of your surroundings—don't fall off a sidewalk or walk into a car!
Audiobooks? Yes, yes, yes. I know many of you are thinking: exercise while listening to a book. For those of you who listen to audiobooks, there are many exercise options. So far, audiobooks have not become a part of my life. I like to see words on a page. But for those of you who do like audiobooks, think of all the ways you can exercise and listen. Don't limit yourself to listening to your book while driving places.
Do you have other suggestions for combining exercising and reading? Please let us know!

World Book Night
April 23rd is William Shakespeare's birthday, the UNESCO International Day of the Book, the day of Miguel de Cervantes' death and World Book Night.
To celebrate, volunteers all over the world are offering free books to reluctant readers, encouraging people to read more. I was fortunate to be chosen as a volunteer this year.
The book I distributed was Doris Kearns Goodwin's memoir Wait Till Next Year, a story of baseball, family, and growing up in Brooklyn in the 1950s.
The Stevens Point YMCA seemed like a good place to find a diverse group of people who might not be regular readers.
I was a little nervous about asking people if they liked to read, and then telling them if they did they couldn't have a free book. It seemed tricky to me, so mostly I offered the books to everyone who walked by. I explained the purpose of World Book Night and, to my surprise, several people who loved to read gave me the book back and told me to find someone else; they also wanted to spread the love of reading to non-readers.
I hope the people who got books today, from me and from others around the world, give reading a chance. I am crazy happy to have been a part of World Book Night 2014.
If you would like to apply to be a volunteer next year, to donate to the cause, or just want more information about World Book Night, visit World Book Night US or World Book Night UK and Ireland.
My impression is that World Book Night/World Book Day was started in Spain. The Spanish website is La Noche de los Libros (I think. I don't speak Spanish, so can't read much of the site.)
If you know of any other countries participating and have their websites, please post in the comments below.
Happy Reading!

- Nico could be a human-cat. He's quick on his feet and able to adapt to anything that's thrown at him.
- It may not be the biggest one, but give Zoe her props for being able to walk on top of a small brick wall. In the middle of the night, no less.
- Jeanne taking down Costa with her martial arts skills in the climax.

Elf'd is the story of a little Christmas Elf who causes big trouble when he's sent on a special delivery by Santa and inadvertently infects everyone with the "Elflu". Ahh-ahh-CHOO!
I've always been a fan of silent storytelling. My intent is always to make a comic story that also works as a piece of art. I love trying to combine the flow of a story with the aesthetics of color, balance, shape and form. Some end up more art than story and others more story than art but that's what makes each piece a unique experience.
If you like this story I have several other comics available, please check them out!

It isn't too surprising, and I'd say other stress-related consequences would be found to be higher when you're worried 24-7 about losing everything. Now, the stressful job could stand some more breakdown. What's happening in that workplace to cause the increase in stress? In LDS scripture, the Lord has admonished us not to 'oppress the hireling in his wages', but overloading an employee is still done often. We still don't have good protection against working a person to their death in Utah.
