A Great track full of bewhind the scenes storys and information about the making of this film. Afew slow spots here and there, But at around six hours long that's to be expected.

I also loved this track. I remember thinking "no way will they talk for 6hrs" but they do pretty well as far as im concerned. Its made me seek out other Stephen King tracks. I will admit that i didnt listen to it all as 6hrs is a long time to listen to someone talking about a film, but i am in the process of listening to the remaining sections as i type this. The Stand is one of my all time favourite projects (not sure its a film, and i wouldnt class it as a series) and this chat track makes it that bit better by hearing the backstory and the production tales.

Not unexpectedly, Garris and King have the most interesting contributions on this lengthy commentary series - a double-act that can also be found on their collaboration of the TV version of The Shining. The rest is filled in by the few actors on hand, with Lowe coming across as the most congenial, but the inclusion of Ruby Dee was, quite frankly, a mistake, partly because she doesn't have that much to say, but also because she draws it out with a wheezing, babbling delivery - my patience with the fast-forward button gave out around the third time she appeared. There's some insight into the differences/restrictions of making 'The Stand' for TV rather than as a feature film. Script/filming decisions are always interesting (did you know this was made in 16mm?), character motivations far less so - it's really irritating when everybody keeps talking about "Nick", "Tom", etc, as if they were real people with real histories and real viewpoints. Also the good-vs-evil and 'human nature' tropes keep getting brought up again and again, but that's fairly unavoidable for a 6-hour chatathon like this one.

I very much agree with badge, Ruby Dee makes this Commentary intolerable to listen to.

While powerhouse Helix Studios is continuing to celebrate its 15th Anniversary delivering gay erotica fans with some of the hottest gay porn on the planet with its record award wins, Top 10 and No.1 hits In Retail as well as its domination in Video on Demand, director of perfection, Alex Roman, drops another blockbuster gay twink scene targeting the gay twink BDSM/Fetish Bareback genre with Gay adult film superstars Joey Mills and Cameron Parks.
Once again Roman delivers gay erotica fans nothing but top quality gay erotica for Heix fans to feast their eyes, cocks and buttocks on repeatedly! Even if one is not into BDSM action, they will be unable to take their eyes off of 'Virgin Kink' [2018].
"Joey Mills is always on a twink lover's wet dream jack off fantasy team! In this super special scene the young superstar sits down to tell us about his first time in delicious detail before the raunchy reenactment which will leave you breathless. For most of us, our first times are a bit of a fumble, but not for Mills and his Grindr! Even at a tender young age, the kid knew he liked to be dominated from watching porn and wasn't afraid to ask for it. Here our boy gets EXACTLY what he wants and THEN some! Cameron Parks is the lucky lad who plays the kinky college kid that devirginized our young dick pig.
From the jump, Cam starts in with devious dirty talk matched by a fierce face fuck complete with slapping and spitting in Mill's pretty mug! Joey eats it up and enjoys every hot second while taking orders like the kink loving cadet he is. Parks came prepared with everything needed to whip the kid into shape. After hogtying Mills to the bed he shoves his sweaty underwear in his mouth and blindfolds the boy. Then, he gives his feet loving licks before slapping the young slut's beautiful, smooth butt with…. more than ONE of his favorite things. The dirty talk keeps cumming while Cameron invades Joey's virgin hole with his tongue and a butt plug which Mill's inhales to it's base while moaning like a bitch. After stretching his sex starved teen's tight hole Parks takes it to the next level and shoves his big bareback schlong deep inside Mill's for his very first fuck. Cameron does NOT go easy on the virgin, untying him only to strap him up with leather restraints and a leash"

HONG KONG (BLOOMBERG) - Sinic Holdings Group has become the latest Chinese real estate firm to default as investors wait to see whether China Evergrande Group will meet overdue interest payments on dollar bonds this week.
Sinic's credit rating was lowered by S&P Global Ratings to "selective default" from "CC" after the company failed to repay the interest and principal of its US$250 million (S$336 million) note due on Monday (Oct 18), according to a statement dated Tuesday.
Sinic warned earlier this month that it did not expect to repay the United States dollar bond and that may trigger cross-default on its two other notes.
The news follows a surprise default by developer Fantasia Holdings Group earlier this month. China's real estate market has been rocked by a crisis at Evergrande, as the authorities try to cut leverage in the sector and prevent a bubble.
"We expect this non-payment to trigger cross defaults and accelerate demands for repayment of the company's other debts, including its US dollar bonds and domestic loans, some of which are already overdue," S&P Global said in the statement.
Sinic is much smaller than Evergrande, ranking 41st in a list of China's biggest property developers by contracted sales as at August, compared with its bigger peer at third. Sinic has US$694 million in dollar bonds outstanding, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The firm missed domestic payments in September.
A 30-day grace period for Evergrande to meet interest payment deadlines on several dollar bonds will end this week, raising the spectre of the real estate giant defaulting.
The strain on real estate companies adds to a string of broader risks for China's economy, which depends on the real estate market for about 30 per cent of gross domestic product. Home prices fell in September for the first time in six years, while real estate investment slid for the first time since last year.
A government clampdown on the property industry is making it harder for companies to refinance and threatening to create a wave of defaults. The yield on junk dollar bonds from the nation's borrowers climbed to a decade-high of about 20 per cent this month before dropping to 17 per cent.
Shares of both Sinic and Evergrande are suspended from trading in Hong Kong. A gauge of Chinese real estate company stocks fell 0.3 per cent to trade near a three-year low.
A senior official with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said risks to China's economy from an Evergrande meltdown are "contained" for now.
"People understand that the government has the tools to contain the risks going forward," IMF's China mission chief Helge Berger said on Bloomberg Television.
Risks in the property industry are contained to the sector at the moment, but the authorities should keep monitoring in case they escalate, he said on Wednesday.
Beijing finally broke its silence on Evergrande's trouble last Friday and reiterated over the weekend that the risk can be contained. But analysts from Citigroup said in a note on Monday that "more decisive policies are still needed to shore up market confidence in the property sector".

Today we are proud to present one of the most comfortable and most beautiful pieces we have seen so far when it comes to furniture.Designed by the Italian architect Angelo Tomaiuolo and produced by Tonin CASA, SLEEPY, designed as a minimalist bed with amazing materials, the extremities being finished in white leather,it`s ideal for contemporary interior designs . According to the manufacturer and producer, the wide base , in these pictures the white one, is upholstered with fabric or eco-leather in different high end finishes. The wrapping sculptural headboard is the strongest accent, being an extremely original and unique shape. Production processes are being studied in order to guarantee each product with the right apparel and comfort and to exalt the organic feel that Sleepy bed transmits.
Homesthetics Conclusion
Considering the big dimensions, Sleepy would fit perfect into big bedrooms as it seems to dominate the room and the surroundings with glamour. Also we really have to consider the small glass table that enters in a sublime harmony with the bed. Even if the side table seems to be little small and not need a lot of space, it`s the best to have space to breathe and catch attention, another argument for using the assemble in a bigger bedroom.
Describe the design in the comment section below, and let us know you`re valuable opinion .

Today was supposed to be a short day as we were meeting our friend Gilly for lunch, who was in Nottingham taking her son & his friend to summer camp. The only problem was that the camping boats 'Collingwood' with the butty 'Ash', Camping Afloat run by BCBS Ltd got the jump of us and about half a dozen others and there were queues at all the locks down to Penkridge.
We decided to stop before Filance lock and walk down to the pub as Gilly had arrived. It was great to catch up with her as she lives in Scotland now and we haven't seen each other for ages. We had a good lunch and had to say goodbye at 3 as she had to go and collect the boys.

Sue's story:
On 30 December I collapsed in the lane outside my house and was taken to
A&E at Pinderfields. Told I had a heart murmur and recommended that I should
have an Echocardiogram, which would take several weeks to arrange. Sent
home after advising that I could travel by air. Visited Spain for a 6-day holiday.
Finally received Echo appointment for 8 March.
We flew again on 5 February to Amsterdam to celebrate our 54th wedding
anniversary. Next day we had booked tickets for the Van Gogh museum. Were
very careful to use lifts and avoid situations that made me breathless. However,
on returning to hotel felt unwell and eventually a local GP was called. He
listened to my heart murmur and got straight on to the cardiologist at the local
hospital who requested I should be admitted. Went by taxi to hospital and
straight onto Cardiac Ward. Next day given an Echocardiogram and finally a
diagnosis of Acute Aortic Stenosis with Syncope - a complete surprise to my
husband and myself. There was talk of operating there and then, but we
wanted to return to the UK. The Cardiologist agreed, but only if we did not fly!
Then began a long journey. We booked a taxi to take us from Amsterdam to
Rotterdam and a ferry from Rotterdam to Hull. Our son had to collect our car
from the car park at Leeds-Bradford airport. Our daughter came to pick us up in
Hull at 8 am on Saturday morning only to find that the ship was unable to dock
because of Storm Ciara and we had anchored back out at sea until it was safe
to land. However, we had asked for assistance getting off the ship and when
the staff found out I was ill, I was in trouble for not disclosing this when we
boarded. We were told that 4 people onboard had registered showing their title
as Dr, but could be any type, and if I felt unwell they would start knocking on
doors. Obviously, being airlifted off was impossible - that really scared us! We
spent 8 hours out a sea and finally docked at 4 pm and our daughter, who had
returned to Hull, picked us up. She drove us straight to A&E at LGI where I was
admitted on the night of 9 February 2020. We finally knew that I was in safe
hands! Had to be isolated for 7 days as I had been in a hospital abroad and
that's when I was in a room overlooking the Zen Garden. Also on the ward was
the Take Heart fish tank, which was much enjoyed by my great-granddaughter.
We thought I would be allowed home to await my operation, but no, Mr
Elmahdy put paid to that idea - I was going nowhere until he had sorted out my
heart valve, which he did on 20 February. Six days later I was discharged and
finally made it home. We are so grateful to the wonderful Staff at LGI for their
care, at what was the worst time of my life, which they definitely saved. Also to
Take Heart for all the work they do at the hospital. I made several trips around
the building for tests and these were brightened up by the lovely artwork in the
corridors. Unfortunately in February the weather was not conducive to enjoying
the rooftop garden.
Very many thanks Sue. You've been through the mill…
Even more thanks for arranging the appeal for Take

- Making a Statement - What Jewelry Says About You and Your Unique Style
Exquisite Jewelers Miami
Expressing your personal style through the jewelry you wear is a time-honored tradition. Jewelry is just like clothes, music and cars; it will depict your style and personality in an instance. Though nobody will know who you are or what you think, they will certainly have a hint of who of your personality and worldview.
Stylish or non-stylish, what we wear, how we visually present ourselves to the world will have an impact on not only a first impression, but also a long lasting one too.
An individual's jewelry selection speaks volumes about their style and personality; it can reveal meaningful clues about virtues and aspírations. It can impress, and attract, it can make a wild or a subtle statement.
If you choose to wear statement jewelry, for instance a thick circle necklace, extravagant rings, big hoop earrings, and bespoke designs, you are likely to be an open-minded, social and bubbly personality. The thick dangling necklace shows off your naughty or flirty style while large colorful earrings and rings brings out the adventurous and fun loving part of you. Shiny pieces of jewelry will depict how much you really love and trust yourself and how comfortable you are in your own skin. It takes a lot of confidence and courage to remain calm while attracting everyone's eyes. But it's fun to be extravagant, at least once in awhile.
Recycled material
If your choice of jewelry often gravitates toward earthy tones such as forest green, brown, beige and ocean blue, it is highly likely that you are a down-to-earth person. People who prefer jewelry made from recycled material such as bangle bracelets turquoise earrings, and sea glass or shell necklaces generally connect with nature and the boho lifestyle.
Classic Elegance
Are elegant pearl earrings, pearl necklaces and designer jewelry with petite details your jewelry of choice? These classic pieces speak of etiquette, fineness, taste and elegance. This classic choice of elegant and simple jewelry can be referred to as the "eternal style" because it is not only classy but also timeless. Your calm demeanor and elegant poise communicates your strong personality in a subtle manner that makes you standout in a crowded room.
Gold Lovers
To these people, all that glitter is gold. Their style communicates glamour and authority. They choose every piece with great care and attention to detail and will not settle for second best. Such a person will always choose quality over quantity. Gold will always be gold, and no other precious metal will serve a more glamorous purpose.
Handmade unique pieces
These people love to make a bold statement, and the perfect weapon for the job is a "vintage" piece that is out of this time and out of this world.Vintage accessories do not follow the trends but rather sets them.
Perfect Coordination
This person selects matching sets of jewelry. Their style is precise, neat, and responsible.
Wrap up
Jewelry is just like clothes, music and cars; it will depict your style and personality in an instance. Dress to impress by wearing a piece that's contrary to your style, be different from your regular style surprise those around you.

Philosophy - A Code to Live By
One of the potential outcomes of a well considered philosophy is surely the development of a personal code by which one may live one's life honourably and thus contentedly. A code which enables one to face any situation, no matter how challenging or onerous, with dignity and courage of conviction even in the face of grievous personal danger. A code which is sustainable for richer or for poorer and irrespective of personal loss. To live by such a code, applying it in all situations, is to discover the key to true happiness. Without such a code, one may never be truly happy, no matter how much wealth or power one accumulates and surrounds oneself with.
Wise men have understood this truism since ancient times, and yet, such an understanding seems to have become largely lost among the hurly burly of modern life where we are constantly encouraged to prize wealth and celebrity above all else. Our teachings have strayed from the concept of humanity to an equation which pairs personal success with the acquisition of wealth and power rather than with understanding and compassion. Consequently, we encourage an exclusive, competitive social environment which shuns integrity and which, by definition, must constantly exploit its own members. But those who embrace and thrive within such a model will never attain true happiness or the sense of inner contentment that a more noble existence may provide.
This is hardly a revelation, as the fundamental premise has been reflected in many works, religious, philosophical and anecdotal. Furthermore, we see the concept emerge in both humans and animals, sometimes under extreme stress and, occasionally, within everyday life. There is a component within our complex psychological constitution that seeks expression by caring for others and maintaining integrity in all that we do. But, too often, we suppress this component in favour of material gain or vain social recognition. However, both of these prizes are ephemeral. They do not complement our inner soul and we cannot take them with us when we depart from this Earth. Furthermore, they do not lead to the development of the complete human being, the attainment of which state should be our aspiration. Nor do they lead to contentment and true happiness.
The story of King Arthur and his Knights of The Round Table nicely encapsulate this need for integrity, courage and the will to do good for others. The word of a true Knight is his bond and he will only ever deal fairly and honourably, even with his opponents. Indeed, he would readily die before compromising that integrity. Furthermore, his daily code will be one of courtesy and kindness towards all whom he encounters, and he will have a special respect for women, offering them his protection at every opportunity. He will give freely of his own possessions in order to assist others less fortunate than himself. To him, such thoughts and deeds are an essential element of life, as he understands only too well that, without them, his life has no meaning. Consequently, he cannot be bought by promises of gold or celebrity as such factors are an anathema to him.
Some may scoff and decry such notions as only existing within the realms of mythology, and yet, modern day Knights do exist. They may be few and far between but they are there. You may not have noticed them as they will not be engaged in self promotion and may only appear when events necessitate such a revelation. Most of the time, they are ignored by those consumed by avarice and position. There are lady 'Knights' as well - King Arthur may have called them 'Angels' who administer their gentle kindnesses to those in need, always without thought of recognition or reward. But Knights and Angels are an endangered species. They are endangered by our relentless worship of material gain, power, position and celebrity at the expense of humanity. They are endangered by our abject refusal to teach morals within our various educational models. They are endangered by the pretence and deception of modern politics.
Consequently, we need to protect this endangered species and fight for its survival and further flowering within our world. The key to the preservation of Knights and Angels lies in education and teaching by example. Youngsters need to have a full appreciation of history and humanity, understanding where and why both our brightest and darkest moments have occurred. They need to be taught that kindness and compassion are not archaic relics of a bygone world, but an essential element of modern life. They must understand that integrity, courage and generosity of spirit are the keystones of life and the building blocks of inner contentment. Furthermore, we should demonstrate all of these things by example and provide the younger generation with the tools they need with which to create their own code to live by. Their Excalibur must be education, and we must hold it forth from the lake of avarice and vanity.

Friends, the other day when I was finishing up work I noticed a post by John Squires over at Bloody Disgusting, it was concerning a Ghostbusters fan film by Christopher J. Tomlinson and Devin DeFluiter. Squires in his article headline straight up said about the fan film "…the most touching love letter to 'Ghostbusters' you may ever see' – and he isn't wrong in the least. Generations is quite simply about the love of a Father and his Son and their shared connection to the Ghostbusters franchise – I think that is all the set up that you need so I'm going to just share the short film now -but I do want to add that you need to keep your eyes open for more than a few other vintage pop culture properties in the video.
Is someone cutting some onions in here or is it just me? Generations was Directed by both Tomlinson and DeFluiter – from a script by Tomlinson – and that is in fact the Writer and Co-Director's own Son and Wife in the short film. It appears that Tomlinson is also the Director of Ghostbusters: Station 6 – what began as a short film three years ago turned into a TV pilot – with the main focus being on what Oscar Barrett from Ghostbusters 2 did when he grew up… which is obviously what you think – he become a Ghostbuster.
Speaking of Ghostbusters though – it turns out that we only have to wait until tomorrow to catch an online reunion with the likes of Bill Murray, Sigourney Weaver, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, as well as Ivan and Jason Reitman – courtesy of Josh Gad's Reunited Apart.
I will admit that earlier this year I was a little bummed to hear that Ghostbusters: Afterlife was pushed all the way to March of 2021 – but I think both Generations and the Ghostbusters: Station 6 pilot and of course the latest Reunited Apart will make that wait a little more bearable.

"Muriel de Saint Sauveur: impresario for women"
by Vicky Sommet
Muriel de Saint Sauveur has always been working in communication, then found the courage to create her own company and got catched again by the corporate world. Communicating, promoting, exchanging and passing along, these are the tasks she assigned to herself and does her best to realise. Before taking an interest to women and to point out disparities and discriminations with the firm intention to suppress them here and there…

"The winning trio for looking forward entrepreneurs: Diversity, Mix, Parity"
by Muriel de Saint Sauveur for Voxfemina
If we believe what Jacques Attali says, the companies of the future will be "positive", that is to say being at the same time profitable and useful for the future generations, they will attract employees. If we listen to Human Resources experts, those who are looking to give a new start to their work, it is essential to make one's employees happy in order to increase their efficiency. But, who are these employees each company wants to attract and keep?
"Women at the origin of the Value Work Revolution"
by Muriel de Saint Sauveur for Voxfemina
From the Antiquity where each person had a role according to his place in the society, to our time where Artificial Intelligence is threatening our position of human worker, going through religions which gave contradictory values to work and without forgetting Adam Smith advocating work as wealth during the Industrial Revolution, is work an emancipating activity as per Marcel Maus or an endangered value as Dominique Meda wrote? And what if we ask women?

MERIDIAN TOWNSHIP - In 2004, Brianne Randall-Gay filed a police report with the Meridian Township Police Department regarding sexual abuse at the hands of former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State University doctor, Larry Nassar.
"The police questioned you, and you had the audacity to tell them that I misunderstood this treatment because I was not comfortable with my body, how dare you. Sadly, they took your word instead of mine," said Randall-Gay during her victim impact statement directed to Nassar during his sentencing hearing on January 23rd.
Meridian Township Manager confirmed that the Township paid for Randall-Gay's plane ticket from Seattle to give her statement.
"We wanted Brianne to be able to share her story with the other survivors in front of Nassar and share her pain," said Walsh.
The redacted Police Report Randall-Gay filed in 2004 will be available to media on Wednesday, January 31st at 9 am. Meridian Township will also be holding a press conference on February 1st at 12:30 pm in regards to the handling of the 2004 Police Report in reference to Randall-Gay. Meridian Township Manager Frank Walsh and Police Chief Dave Hall are expected to issue a statement of apology and announce new initiatives and training regarding Criminal Sexual Conduct investigations.
When asked about the overall goal of holding this press conference, Township Manager Walsh said, "to publicly acknowledge our regret for what happened in 2004 and personally apologize to Brianne. It is important to convey to Brianne and the public what initiatives have been and will be undertaken to prevent anything like this to happen in the future and to raise awareness for sexual assault survivors."
HOMTV will be providing live coverage of the press conference on Comcast channel 21, HOMTV.net and the HOMTV Facebook page.

Pilgrim's Progress was written by John Bunyan in the 1600s while he was in prison for his faith.
After the end of part one, there is a poem called "The Conclusion". These four lines are part of the last stanza:
What of my dross thou findest here, be bold
To throw away, but yet preserve the Gold.
What if my Gold be wrapped up in ore?
None throws away the Apple for the Core.
I think what Bunyan is saying here is that if the reader finds something in his writings that are not correct, to not use that as a reason to throw out all he has written. He is admitting that he could be in error somewhere, but pleads for readers not to throw out the truth of scripture found in his writings. It's like "Don't throw out the baby with the bath water."
I ask the same. I am so very far from knowing all the truths in scripture. But, please don't throw out my writings. If you find me in error, tell me. Send me scriptures to read. Share with me your insight. And, please, don't throw out the baby and keep the bath water!

This weekend, I was reminded of a fantastic little addition to our medicine cabinet when Bear accidentally encountered a couple yellow jackets while fishing with her Daddy. Insect stings hurt! Especially yellow jackets…but it doesn't matter what critter did the stinging, they just hurt. There can sometimes be quite a bit of swelling after one of these encounters as well. So, how do you take the sting out to make your little ones comfortable again?
I've heard several home remedies for insect stings in my life…most of them from my grandmother. I've tried all of these at least once, and for the most part, she has a pretty good track record for knowing things that work…no matter how crazy they sound! Now, my granddad, on the other hand, he wanted to put kerosene on everything…he even kept some in his medicine cabinet. I wouldn't suggest kerosene, but I do have a couple of my grandmother's suggestions to pass along!
Maalox was my grandmother's go-to for insect stings…ant stings in particular. I was terribly susceptible to ant stings when I was young. If I got one on my toe, my foot would swell so badly that I couldn't put shoes on within an hour. I grew out of it for the most part, but they're still a nuisance! Grandmother would dab liquid Maalox onto my stings, and, while it didn't help the excessive swelling too much, it really did help the pain.
Meat Tenderizer
A doctor at my university's student health center actually suggested meat tenderizer when I was bit by a spider (not an insect, I know) in my dorm room. I tried it…you actually make a paste to apply by adding water (some folks say to use vinegar instead, but I haven't tried it that way). It worked pretty well to take the pain out, but there was still a lot of swelling, and it still turned purple, prompting an after-hours visit to the ER. Maybe I should have used it with vinegar!
I've heard this one from a lot of folks. It makes sense, really. It's not as crazy as meat tenderizer! Aspirin is an anti-inflammatory medication. You can crush a tablet, and make it into a paste with a little water…then apply it to the insect sting. This method works fairly well, but it takes a little while. It's definitely not as fast-acting as the next remedy.
Laundry Bluing
Laundry bluing? What on earth is that??? Fear not, that was my first reaction when my grandmother first suggested it to me.
I took the kids up to visit my parents and grandparents one summer. Apparently, at a stop along the way, we gained an additional passenger who remained unnoticed until a couple hours later. Lizard was only about a year and a half old at the time. She had fallen asleep, but just before we reached our destination, she woke up and started screaming. I couldn't figure out what was going on while driving into Dallas rush-hour traffic, so I pulled over, and managed to get her calmed down…though I still couldn't find the cause. Well, a couple hours later, at my grandmother's house, I laid her down on the floor to change her diaper. There was a huge welt on her leg. She had been fussy ever since the incident in the car…and now I knew why. Something had stung her on the leg. It was big and red and angry! I made a rather surprised exclamation about it, and my grandmother came to look. She said, "That's a bee sting. I just bought some bluing."
I looked at her like a cow looking at a new gate. "Bluing? Is that what you said? What's that?"
"It's for laundry." She stated rather emphatically.
My mom jumped in, "People used to use it a lot to make their whites brighter."
"Okay…" I was still waiting for someone to tell me why we were talking about brighter whites in every load instead of my daughter's giant bee sting.
"Mother used to use it on us when we got stung, but I hadn't thought about it in years. It takes the sting out, and all the swelling will be gone by bedtime. I just bought some last week I just happened to come across. Let me see if I can find it." Grandmother took off for her back bedroom to look for it.
I looked at my mom and shrugged my shoulders, still a bit dubious. But, I figured I might as well give it a try.
My grandmother returned after a few minutes with a little blue bottle labeled, "Mrs. Stewart's Liquid Bluing" and a few cotton balls. She said, "Put a little of the bluing on the cotton, then dab it on the sting. Make sure you cover the whole thing. Try to keep her still until it dries, because it will get all over everything and it will stain."
So, I did as instructed. I made a big blue painting with that stuff all over Lizard's leg. By the time we sat down for dinner, Lizard had stopped fussing. By the time I changed her next diaper, the swelling was gone. She still had a big blue splotch…but no swelling. I used it again the next morning, just to be sure…but I had a hard time telling where the sting had even been. I was sold. Grandmother told me to keep the bottle, and I did!
I've used it several more times since then…every time someone gets an insect sting. It has a great track record for bee stings, and for yellow jacket stings…including Bear's little encounter over the weekend. She was stung on the leg and on the nose. At first, she didn't want me to turn her nose blue, but within minutes of the time I put it on her leg, she said her leg didn't hurt any more and wanted it on her nose too. So, Bear had a blue nose Sunday afternoon…and I didn't hear another complaint about her nose. By Monday, her nose wasn't blue anymore, but that yellow jacket sting was gone too. A blue nose is a small price to pay!
So, next time you or one of your little ones gets an insect sting, give bluing a try. You may be just as surprised as I was.
Incidentally, while bluing is great for insect stings, you can also grow a fantastic crystal garden with it, I've been told. It's on the list to try this week!

Sydney siege sees Uber raise prices before backtracking
- Published
Cab-ordering firm Uber has been criticised for increasing fares by up to four times normal rates during the hostage crisis in Sydney, Australia.
As the police cordoned off a wide area around the Lindt cafe where a gunman was holding staff and customers hostage, Uber's pricing algorithm raised prices as demand spiked.
Uber responded to the criticism by offering free journeys out of the city's central business district (CBD).
It also refunded some passengers.
But the rapidly expanding cab firm also tweeted that higher rates were still in place "to encourage drivers to get into the CBD".
In a blogpost on Sunday, Uber explained that "surge pricing is used to encourage more drivers to come online and pick up passengers from the area."
Twitter users had accused the firm of exploiting a potential terrorist situation for its own financial gain.
Minimum fares rose to A$100 (£53) at one point with one customer telling tech news site Mashable he'd been quoted A$145-185 for a journey from Sydney's CBD to the airport - a 13-mile journey that would normally cost about A$40-70 depending on the time of day.
Another customer said this was "almost price gouging at its worst".
Uber backlash
This is the latest in a run of negative news stories for Uber.
Taxi drivers in France have been blocking some roads around Paris and at airports in a protest against the firm.
Monday's demonstration came as France's Interior Ministry said it would ban UberPop, the company's car-pooling service, from 1 January.
And last week, Uber said it would suspend operations in Delhi, India, following the arrest of an Uber driver accused of raping a female passenger.
In response, the Delhi authorities banned all internet-based cab services.
Uber apologised for what happened and acknowledged that it "must do better".
There have also been taxi protests in other cities around the world with various governments threatening to legislate against the firm.

About the teacher: Melissa Longfellow
I am here to serve and this is my story. I lead programs for the Baptiste Yoga Institute and I'm an Experienced, 500-Hour (E-RYT 500) teacher and trainer. I created the Power Yoga Academy and Yoga On Liquid, Int'l. I have been a yogi and a seeker ever since I can remember. Sometimes in very odd ways that I didn't even know what I was seeking. And in a seemingly unlikely path for a half-Guatemalan/half-French-Canadian-WASP raised Catholic in suburban Massachusetts, at age 8 I was given the name "Padmavati" (lotus flower) by the late Siddha Yoga guru Swami Muktananda. Unknown to me at the time, it would be the beginning of my yogic journey. After several years of being unconscious of, and unkind to my body, I sought out yoga for healing and serendipitously arrived into a daily yoga practice with Baptiste Yoga founder, Baron Baptiste (who continues to be my main teacher, nearly 15 years later). In the months that followed, I watched in awe as my body healed, my life transformed and my heart opened (possibly for the first time, I noticed). After moving from Boston to San Diego to Bellingham WA. I am deeply inspired by yoga and the life practice of it, as well as the pursuit of surf, sun, snowboarding, playing with my 2 boys, painting murals, making green smoothies and embracing my family legacies of both Maya culture and cosmology and the teachings of JC, Buddha and many other wise ones. Including friends and students and family. When not in rainy, beautiful Bellingham, you will likely find me traveling to teach, pursuing a good wave or teaching SUP Yoga in some sunny, tropical location. When you take a class with me you will feel my sincere love and enthusiasm for yoga and for you! I will lovingly hold the space for you excavate the gems that make you uniquely amazing!
We look forward to seeing you at the event!

Antonio Brown Finally Issues an Apology to Ben Roethlisberger
The past year for star wide receiver Antonio Brown has seen his once illustrious NFL career put on a complete halt due to his erratic behavior and poor decision-making off the field. That has put him out of a job in the league as he's dealing with numerous legal issues that could potentially land him with jail time if things don't work out in his favor. That alone has created another significant hurdle he must bypass to have a chance to play in the NFL once again.
It also presents a chance for him to reflect on his poor choices that began with what ousted him out of the Pittsburgh Steelers. With that in mind, Brown has voiced an apology to his former teammate Ben Roethlisberger via social media.
Antonio Brown's disappointing downfall in Pittsburgh
Before he saw his tenures with the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots ever truly take off, Brown had things fall apart with the Steelers.
All of that came to ahead in the 2018 season as his internal issues with Roethlisberger began a progressive meltdown process. Brown had his tiff with the star quarterback that led to his incident in practice throwing a football at him that led to the All-Pro wideout being declared out of the regular-season finale by the team.
Brown's behavior didn't rub many of his teammates the right way, which further escalated after JuJu Smith-Schuster was awarded the team MVP award for that season. Although the two never had any issues, he took exception to Smith-Schuster, earning the honor over him.
These issues were piling up and led to Pittsburgh finally deciding to move on from him with a trade to the Raiders. Things continued on a downward spiral to where he's isn't on a team due to his poor decision-making.
Brown has continued to be unpredictable over social media, but he looks to have turned a leaf one regard.
Antonio Brown's apology to Ben Roethlisberger
If the time away from the league has cleared up one thing about Brown is that he's quite unpredictable with his behavior.
That has become quite evident on social media accounts as he's expressed his feelings on both ends of the spectrum through that avenue. Brown moved towards the apologetic side again, voicing remorse regarding his actions that ended his tenure with the Steelers regarding his relationship with Roethlisberger.
The two had a dynamic connection on the field that made them one of the top 1-2 punches in the league in terms of quarterback/wide receiver duos. Their elite level of production together led the Steelers to much success over the years, which helped Brown emerge as an elite talent while Roethlisberger further added to what should be a Hall of Fame resume.
There has been plenty of guilt from both sides with the situation was handled, but it's an opportunity for them to grow and learn moving forward. That is more so the case as Brown has damaged plenty of relationships along the way, and amended his with Roethlisberger is apart of the process.
Will Antonio Brown get another chance in the NFL?
Brown has entered a territory where his NFL career is out of his hands entirely. His actions off the field, paired with his pending legal matters, have made it difficult for the league or any team to trust him fully.
Before the thought of any franchise allowing him to play, he has several pressing legal issues that must be addressed first. Brown could face some severe punishment by the court system. If those matters work out in his favor, then there is a strong likelihood that he will face stiff discipline from the NFL due to his actions.
There are plenty of hurdles that Brown must pass first before he can get another shot in the NFL. Yes, he has the talent that not only belongs on a roster but can lead an offense, but it's all the other issues off the field that are preventing him from getting back on it.

TVO attempts to tell a third of the population that they are wrong.
They brought in a biased panel of pro-vaccine advocates.
They disabled comments on their Youtube movie (so it is not possible to point out inaccurate information.)
Their experts "forgot" to mention the science regarding vaccine-injury. They called parents' concerns – fake news and misinformation.
Do you think that they mentioned that, in the U.S., over 4 billion dollars were paid in compensation for vaccine injuries?
While it is not possible to comment on their Youtube movie, it IS possible to VOTE THUMBS-DOWN, if you wish to express your dissatisfaction with this form of one-sided reporting, that did not bother to include a representative of the vaccine-safety, vaccine-choice camp.

Art by Ariel Olivetti; Doctor Strange Annual #1 (2019)
- Raymond Chandler
The last time I put out a Strange Sounds compilation was way back in 2017, on the six month anniversary of Chris Cornell's death. I'm constantly listening to and absorbing music - not just rap - and there's nothing more that I enjoy than sharing it all. It's time-consuming, though. But worth it. Hope you enjoy this selection of tracks, new and old. Let me know what you think in the comment section.
1. George Harrison - Isn't It A Pity (Demo Version)
Let It Roll: Songs By George Harrison
Starting things off with a sparse and beautiful demo version of one of my favorite songs from my favorite Beatle, George Harrison.
2. Ty Segall - Isolation
Fudge Sandwich
And here's Ty Segall covering "Isolation", a great song for our times by my second favorite Beatle, John Lennon. Fudge Sandwich (In the Red Recordings) is a really fun covers record featuring music by the Grateful Dead, Funkadelic, The Dils, War, Neil Young, and more. Highly recommended. Ty Segall's output in the past decade has been prolific to say the least and a joy to behold.
3. Mikal Cronin - Shelter
"This is a song about searching for answers in an uncertain world," Cronin says. "It's about the observer reluctantly stepping out of their comfort zone and looking around, while trying to keep their head straight." Seeker was released in October via Merge Records.
4. The Black Angels - Currency
Death Song
"I can see/ Currency/ How it always sanctions us/ All these paper lives you've sold/ There's no God in who you trust/ Print and print the money that you spend/ Spend and spend the money that you print/ ... You've paid with your life/ A slave from nine to five/ You're spent through us/ You take from us when we die/ So claim the diamonds in your eyes/"
5. Thee Oh Sees - Sticky Hulks
Mutilator Defeated At Last
A slow-paced, fuzzy, psychedelic journey from the Bay Area band's sixteenth(!) studio album (released on Castle Face Records).
6. Froth - Lost My Mind
A hazy,fun, surf-psych jam from Echo Park's own Froth. Available on Lollipop Records/Burger Records.
7. Ultimate Spinach - Mind Flowers
Behold and See
Boston's Ultimate Spinach released three albums in the late 60s. This track is a total trip. "I am falling/ I am falling/ I am falling/ Into the quicksand of my troubled mind/ My troubled mind/ My troubled mind/ My troubled mind/". More on Ultimate Spinach and the Bosstown Sound here.
8. Wand - Planet Golem
Love me some heavy psych, and "Planet Golem", off their album Golem (In the Red Recordings), is the heaviest track on this compilation. Wand released their debut album, Ganglion Reef, on Ty Segall's God? label in 2014, and have been consistently putting out great records ever since. This year, they released Laughing Matter (Drag City Records).
9. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - I Put a Spell on You
Viva Las Vegas
Can't go wrong with Nick Cave covering Screamin' Jay Hawkins. This appears on a bootleg live album called Viva Las Vegas. (Side note: I subscribed to Nick's Red Hand Files via e-mail and I suggest you do the same. Fascinating insights on music, politics, life, spirituality, everything.)
10. Arzachel/Uriel - Queen St. Gang
From the album Arzachel, a psychedelic rock gem (and coveted collector's item) by the band Uriel, here's a fun take on Keith Mansfield's "Funky Fanfare".
11. Wakefield - Something Is Coming
The Lost Warthog Tapes
I don't know too much about this band, but I came across this compilation, The Lost Warthog Tapes (Gear Fab Records), and enjoyed it quite a bit.
12. King Tuff - Birds of Paradise
The Other
The Other was one of my favorite albums of 2018. It opened my eyes about a lot of things I'd already been contemplating. I saw him perform an acoustic set at the Masonic Lounge at Hollywood Forever Cemetery in 2016. (He also performed with Ty Segall and Cairo Gang.) It was cool to hear a lot of those songs in acoustic form before they were fleshed out into the beautiful versions we hear on The Other. Then earlier this year, I saw him at the Troubadour. I took this photo, which he posted on his IG. (Not the first time he's done that, either.)
Here are a couplem of videos I shot during his 2016 performance:
Here are a couplem of videos I shot during his 2016 performance:
13. Roky Erickson - Warning (Social & Political Injustices)
Gremlins Have Pictures
Closing out the set with Roky Erickson, a true pioneer of psychedelic rock, who passed away earlier this year at the age of 71. Here are a few obits/tributes/articles: KCRW, AltPress, NPR, Rolling Stone. Worth checking out as well is the 2005 documentary You're Gonna Miss Me. R.I.P.

Recently on The Fishing Wire, I read a report about aggressive bass biting fingers and caught by hand. News Station WKRG posted this video, perhaps worthy of a visit by Jeremy Wade of River Monsters.
The aggressiveness is attributed to a genetic strain of largemouth bass developed by fisheries scientists, Don Keller and Barry Smith. The Tiger Bass® is the result of over 15 generations of crossing confrontational northern male bass with a strain of Florida female bass at the American Sport Fish Hatchery, near Montgomery, Alabama. The goal is a rapidly growing bass species that can be caught, and thus enjoyed, repeatedly.
Genetic variation in aggressive behavior occurs naturally, like the bully on the playground. But unlike the bully, with bass fishing we like to reward the fish with poor social skills.
For about five years, we had a bass that lived, no lurked, under the dock of our pond. It thought it owned the place. The activity of regularly feeding and fishing off the dock was like a dinner/boxing bell for this bass. It was almost impossible to reel in a bluegill fast enough to avoid being chased. And yes, even hands dangled in the water would attract attention, as my young son learned the hard way.
Still there were never any hard feelings; my kids loved our "crazy bass." We watched that bass grow from about two to five pounds, and then it disappeared. Today, there is a different two-pound bass staking claim to the territory under dock, with plenty of pond monster potential. Do you know any pond monsters?

Cllr Denise Mullen: We Must Be A Leader In Accepting Afghan Refugees!
Responding to the humanitarian crisis ongoing now in Afghanistan, Aontú Deputy Leader & Cllr for Mid Ulster, Denise Mullen, has called on both the Stormont Executive and the Irish Government to step up and be leaders in accepting Afghan refugees at risk!
Cllr Mullen: "The worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan which has played out over the past few days as the Taliban have recaptured the country, was something we never thought we would bear witness to. Desperate Afghans clinging to airplanes taking off – some falling to their death. The terror being felt by so many women and children at falling once again under the thumb of the Taliban, and the violence and oppression they will be subjected to, is all too real. In this dark time, we cannot be silent. We cannot turn away from the cries for help. We cannot ignore those in need. That is why I am calling on both the Stormont Executive and the Irish government to open our doors to Afghan refugees. Ireland can, should and must be a refuge and a leader for those fleeing the violence and oppression of the Taliban. Time is running out till it may not be possible to get people out of Afghanistan. We must act – and act swiftly."

More than 100 children took part in the Centre Parcs badminton county finals as part of the 2013 P&G Surrey School Games, on the 12 February at Guildford Spectrum.
The youngsters qualified through previous rounds to reach the county final where competition was extremely tough.
The boys' competitions were keenly contested, particularly between Glyn School and Howard of Effingham School who both won gold in different sections of the contest competition. There were some outstanding doubles and singles matches where great badminton was displayed by all taking part.
The girls' competitions were just as exciting with a mixture of independent and mainstream secondary schools reaching the county final stage.
The P&G Surrey School Games is currently in its third year. It is currently building on the success of London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games to encourage and inspire more young people to take part in sport and art competitions.

In the face of the US threat to attack Syria over its suspected use of chemical weapons, President Bashar Assad is "calm and serene and has strong nerves," his political adviser said in an interview that aired on Wednesday.
Buthina Shaaban spoke to the Lebanese pro-Hezbollah Al-Mayadeen television station following a tweet in which US President Donald Trump wrote that "nice and new and 'smart'" missiles will be used against Syria. Trump also called Assad a "gas killing animal who kills his people and enjoys it.""We do not fear the war and we are prepared for it if it happens," Shaaban said.After what was reportedly an Israeli attack on Syria's T4 airfield on Monday, Syria and Russia have carried out "preparations," she said.Shaaban accused the West of waging "psychological warfare" against Syria, but said this will not work and that things will not go as the Americans wish. "The game of engagement has been changed to serve the interests of Syria. We are stronger than before," she said.She also charged that Israel is spearheading "aggression" against Syria, but predicted Israel would be the big loser from war.Shaaban railed against Saudi Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman, who has said that the kingdom could take part in the response to the suspected chemical weapons attack. "Muhammad bin Salman is a partner of aggression. Since 2011, Saudi Arabia has been a partner by funding and arming terrorists. Some Arab countries have chosen to stand in line with Israel; this increases the greediness of others toward Syria," she said. MEANWHILE, Abdel-Bari Atwan, the editor of the London-based, pan-Arab website Rai al-Youm, predicted that Israel would play a central role in American attacks on Syria.Atwan referred to a report in Maariv quoting senior Israeli security officials as saying that Assad would be made to disappear in the event of an Iranian retaliatory attack for the T4 bombing, whose fatalities included Iranians."We believed the aggression planned by Trump against Syria would take place at any moment and would be a tripartite French-British-American effort," Atwan wrote. "But after the Israeli threats to erase Assad and his regime, we are now convinced that [Israel] – the state of occupation – will be in the heart of the new American coalition and the main instrument of its tools to attack. We don't rule out that Iran and Hezbollah will be at the top of the targets."Atwan wrote that Trump is now interested in an all-out war. "Trump has used the chemical attack as a pretext because he wants a bigger war on the Syrian land, not just missile strikes. He wants to divert the attention from America's defeat on Syrian land... he is acting because the noose of impeachment is tightening around his neck, after the investigation for corruption charges and [for] forging the presidential election reached his office and lawyer."He termed Trump's tweet about the missiles "a declaration of comprehensive war by a shaken and defeated president who is trying to restore the centrality of international leadership that has gone to new forces like Russia and China – while he was busy collecting billions, blackmailing Arab leaders and engaging in his sexual and political scandals."Atwan added that Assad will not be cowed. "Perhaps he will leave his palace – which will be a main target along with military and civilian airports and headquarters for security forces – but he will never leave Syria, as the Americans and Israelis claim."He and his family didn't leave when the shells were only meters away from them. He continued carrying out his duties for seven years. At one stage, he lost 60% of Syria's land [to the rebels]. Will he leave now after he restored most of the land?" If anyone should be afraid, it is Israel, Atwan wrote. "Israel is threatening to erase Assad and his regime. It had 20 years to implement its threats and never did it. What Israel should fear is that its own existence is threatened now. It is [under] the threat of removing its existence. The missiles of the resistance can't reach America but they will hit [Israeli] cities, settlements and airports from more than one front.""Syria has been on the map for 8,000 years but Israel is only 70," Atwan added. "Israel has lost all the wars [sic] during the last 35 years. Those [Israelis] who are threatening should take these facts into consideration."

What Is the Liquidity Coverage Ratio?
Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) refers to the amount of liquid assets banks are required to keep as coverage in order to have sufficient reserves on hand in the event of a financial crisis. More specifically, the Liquidity Coverage Ratio is defined as the percentage amount of cash, cash equivalents, or short-term securities that large banks are required to hold as reserves to meet their short-term financial obligations during a crisis event. The LCR is calculated by dividing a financial institution's most liquid assets by its cash outflows over a 30-day period. If a bank has High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) worth $100 million and its projected cash outflows for a 30-day stress period is $50 million, then its LCR is said to be 200%. LCRs apply to banks and nonbank financial institutions, such as insurance companies, finance companies, real estate investment trusts, etc. But they are especially important for systemically important institutions, such as large banks and financial institutions that hold large amounts of capital and are critical to the global economy's functioning.
Liquidity Coverage Ratio Requirements
The concept and requirements of LCR were devised by the Basel Committee of Banking Supervision in 2009 as a response to the 2008 financial crisis, which was caused by banks issuing risky loans and other egregious banking activities. Such behavior resulted in losses at banks and insurance companies and investors began withdrawing their funds from these institutions. Some filed for bankruptcy and were bailed out by the federal government. The losses at some of the other institutions were so severe that they had to shut down. The liquidity coverage ratio was seen as a solution to prevent future recurrences of similar scenarios. The Group of Central Bank Governors and Heads of Supervision, an oversight body for the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision, has stated that "the aim of the Liquidity Coverage Ratio is to ensure banks, in normal times, have a sound financial structure and hold sufficient liquid assets such that central banks are asked to perform as lenders of last resort and not as lenders of first resort." As of 2019, large banks were required to have an LCR of 100%, meaning they should have sufficient liquid assets to cover 100% of their cash outflows for at least 30 days. The requirement has been phased-in gradually since 2015. Large banks, in this context, refers to banks that meet either one of the following criteria:
- They have $250 billion or more in total consolidated assets
- They have $10 billion or more in on-balance sheet foreign exposure and their subsidiaries, which have $10 billion or more in assets.
The Federal Reserve and banks' own senior management conduct periodic stress tests in order to ensure compliance with LCR requirements.
How Is Liquidity Coverage Ratio Calculated?
The formula to calculate LCR is: LCR = High Quality Asset Amount (HQLA)/Total Net Cash Flow Amount Where, HQLA = assets that can be easily converted to cash. Net cash flow = the financial institution's estimated cash flow during a 30-day stress period. The net cash flow can be calculated as the difference between cash outflows, or the outstanding balances in various categories of liabilities and commitments at their respective interest rates, minus expected inflows during a stress period. For example, if a bank has high quality liquid assets worth $150 million and its projected cash outflows for a 30-day stress period is $100 million, then its LCR is said to be 150 percent. Three levels of assets are defined as high-quality assets. They are:
- Level 1 assets which include,
- Federal Reserve bank balances
- Easily withdrawn foreign resources
- Securities issued or guaranteed by the US government or other sovereign entities
- Level 2A which include,
- Securities issued by certain multilateral development bank or sovereign entities
- Securities issued by US government sponsored enterprises
- Level 2B assets which include,
- Publicly traded common stock
- Investment grade debt securities issued by institutions outside the financial sector
A bank can hold an unlimited amount of Level 1 assets but the number of Level 2A assets is capped at 40%, according to the original Basel Accord document.
Criticisms of Leverage Coverage Ratio
Critics of LCRs point to two major flaws with the concept. The first one is that LCR requirements can inhibit banks from lending money they are required to keep on hand to deal with a financial crisis that may or may not occur in the future. This can result in losses for the bank. For example, consider the case of a bank that has a total projected cash outflow of $100 million. This figure is a fairly liberal estimate of outflows during a financial crisis that the bank arrived at by taking into consideration all possible scenarios. If the bank fails to meet its reserve requirements, then it will have to pay premium rates to access the Fed's lending window. If, however, the reserve requirements are in excess of the required amount to weather a financial crisis, then the bank incurs an opportunity cost by not putting that money to work as loans. The second problem with the LCR concept is that reserve requirements may not be sufficient (or, they may be in excess) for another crisis. The scope and severity of each financial crisis is different. In turn, this means that it is difficult to predict their impact on the financial sector with certainty. For example, the recession caused by the Covid-19 pandemic was much more widespread than the one caused by the 2008 financial crisis. While the Federal Reserve's reaction to both crises was similar in some respects, it was also different because the agency deepened the extent of its intervention in the economy by sending out direct payments to citizens during the pandemic shutdown. How these financial crises affect liquidity coverage ratio values in the future is still to be determined.

4 steps to getting more.
Few workplace topics are more sensitive than salary. Almost no one thinks they're being paid enough. Sometimes to get a raise, you have to ask for it. To help you make the request and do it well, Steve Cadigan, former vice president of talent at LinkedIn, now at Cadigan Talent Ventures, offers these tips.
Thinking about your salary objectively may be hard, but it's worth it, writes Karen Cates of Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. She offers tips on how to approach your decision.
Do you feel like it's high time you started making more money? Are you trying to build up the confidence to initiate a conversation about your compensation? If so, you may be wondering what to say and how to say it.

Inject some fitness into your summer by incorporating exercise into your workday … Offer to be the "fresh eyes" for your boss and to sit in on important project meetings … Compose email using this rule.
"Is anyone receiving raises?" That's what one admin asked recently. "I've been told performance reviews will be coming up soon. I want to be prepared. How do you bring it up? How do you know how much to ask for? I'd like to stay in this position, but I'm only making ends meet."
How can someone convince her boss she deserves more money, without revealing that she knows she's being underpaid? Three steps:
The 2012 Salary Guide from Robert Half International shows that overall starting salaries for administrative professionals are expected to rise 3.4% this year. Among the biggest gains: Senior executive assistants can expect a starting salary between $44,250 and $60,000—a gain of 4.5%.
