Relationship Vibes
Relationship Vibes; When people are having relationship problems, they often point the finger at the other person as the sole cause. A wise person once said, any time you point the finger at someone you must always look where your other three fingers are pointing. (Try this if you have not already).
This action of course is called taking some responsibility and that is the theme of this article on relationship vibes. Also remember it takes two to tango, if both parties are just trying to be right and make the other person wrong as is often the case, nothing but unhappiness is created from these negative relationship vibes and actions.

HA NOI (VNS)-- As she knits the final fabric flower onto her latest self-sewn dress, Cong Bich Ngoc cannot help but let the biggest smile stretch across her face.
For Ha Noi-based Ngoc, making souvenirs and all sorts of accessories by hand has been a long-time hobby, but now the 20-year-old is finding her favourite pastime to be quite profitable.
Ngoc is among many who get beside themselves cute hand-made articles, which help them satisfy their passion, express themselves, give their beloved ones unique presents and, now, earn money by selling them.
Ngoc has loved hand-made articles ever since she was a young girl. Being the only child in the family and with her parents having divorced when she was small, she spent most of her time playing on her own. Fed up with watching cartoons and inventing conversations with teddy bears, she started making greeting cards for her friends, sewing dresses for dolls and making simple jewellery for herself.
Some of her happiest times came when she successfully completed one of her hand-made projects – happier certainly, than when she was given a toy as a gift, and the things she did make by hand were, to her, an absolute treasure.
"On special occasions, I designed and gave bracelets and cards to my friends," Ngoc said. "I was excited but shy because I didn't know what they would think of my gifts. But they loved them! People said the hand-made gifts I gave them were so nice and they especially loved the fact that they were made by hand."
Now, Ngoc finds it easy to learn how to make handicrafts as she and other girls who share the same hobby exchange ideas and tips over the internet. It did not take long for her to realise the passion she had for fabric buttons and found endless sources of inspiration to produce hand-made things from buttons.
"Making colourful buttons is not difficult; I just collect scraps of fabric and wrap them tightly on buttons using a machine," Ngoc said. "In my opinion, the purpose of a button is not just to fasten two pieces of fabric together. Fabric buttons are pretty, colourful and have various sizes."
Ngoc said she used fabric buttons to make hundreds of things. She combined them with other materials like fabric and beads to decorate dresses, hair-bands, hairpins, brooches, earrings and bracelets.
Accessories made from fabric buttons are not a strange concept among fashionistas but Ngoc realises that they often buy them in shops in the Old Quarters at a very high price or at souvenirs shops where the number of unique and sophisticated products is low.
She thus decided to design accessories using fabric buttons then sell them via her online shop.
"I hardly ever make two identical products so my shop draws quite a lot of attention from young people," she said. "They're satisfied when they can buy pretty accessories for affordable prices and I in turn have a small income to keep my passion alive.
"Money is not my purpose but I confess that in selling hand-made things, I have a responsibility to produce them to meet demand. Previously I just made them when I had some free time, but now I do it everyday."
Ngoc also sells buttons to supply material for other girls who share a similar passion for making hand-made things.
Ngoc and a few others were offered to partake in a festival where they could trade and exchange their hand-made products at the Mintown Special Event – Creative World in Ha Noi last month, which drew thousands of visitors.
Van Ha, who also brought her hand-made products to the Mintown Fair, founded a shop that has been selling Amigurumi, woollen products made in a Japanese style, on Kim Nguu Street, Ha Noi, since 2008.
Ha weaves colourful woollen yarn and create various plushies (stuffed toys) which became one of the most popular products at the fair.
"It's easy to find woollen products on the market but most of them are imported from China," said Ha. "At such low prices, customers can buy mass-produced things which are not unique and don't have a high quality.
"Imported products that are nice and unique cost a lot. But the materials used to make these products are not expensive or hard to find, so I try to offer a lower price."
She said most of her customers are students who do not have much money. But now they can still be the proud owners of lovely, unique and decorative objects made from wool.
After the fair, the close-knit community of lovers of all things hand-made gathered to set up forums and groups, and was committed to organising other fairs and offline meetings to exchange, share experiences and trade their products.
Visitors will be taken aback when they stand in front of the stalls where they can find anything and everything made by hand such as jewellery, decorative objects, dresses, souvenirs, paintings, cakes and cosmetics.
While accessories and souvenirs are available on the market in various styles and types, more and more young people, especially girls, tend to do it themselves to express their characteristics and dextrous hands. "Hand-made things are wonderful gifts, which help them send special messages to their beloved people," Ngoc said. – VNS

A live, original score evokes the wonder and discovery which ran through the BBC Radiophonic Workshop in its early days as Blood of the Young's dynamic ensemble of Glasgow-based theatre-makers bring to life the amazing story of Daphne Oram and her legacy.
One of the most distinctive composers of the 20th century, Daphne Oram cut a trailblazing path through uncharted musical territory. In 1942 a seventeen-year-old Daphne attended a séance which inspired her to forge a career in music. This led to her co-founding and becoming the first director of the world-famous BBC Radiophonic Workshop, (birth-place of many of television's early Sci-Fi themes, such as Doctor Who.) In a career spanning more than 30 years, she worked with opera singers, classical composers and rock and roll stars. She released several records, influenced the teaching of music in schools, wrote a book on her personal sound philosophy (An Individual Note) and continued always to pursue innovation, learning and teaching her craft - often as the only woman in that professional environment.
A true innovator who sacrificed everything for her art, Daphne's boldness and pioneering spirit created a legacy that remains important today to musicians, sound artists, engineers.At the heart of this show sits the music of electronic sound artist, composer and performer Anneke Kampman (formerly of Scottish band Conquering Animal Sound), a longstanding admirer of Oram's work. Kampman's innovative, contemporary score draws parallels between past and present, combining aspects of Oram's oeuvre and influences with her own distinct sound.
Director Paul Brotherston said: "The nature of the experimentation taking place in 1950s sound studios continues to sound cutting-edge to this day.There is a constant sense of discovery and adventure – danger, even. I remember when I first heard Daphne's work I instantly started to imagine movement dynamics and theatrical images. She was a truly original personality - not just a pioneer of electronic sound but also a radical, holistic philosopher, historian and thinker interested in the mysteries of the vibrational universe. I just wanted to know more and more about her.
"We are working with some incredible artists on the piece, notably electronic musician Anneke Kampman and Linbury Prize winning designer Ana Ines Jabares-Pita (NTS's The Driver's Seat and Dundee Rep's George's Marvellous Medicine). This is opening loads of new and exciting possibilities for how we tell Daphne's story. Anneke and Ana are both very curious and brave artists and are the perfect embodiments of Daphne's spirit of innovation and creativity."
Paul Brotherston is artistic director of Blood of the Young.His recent work includes directing Gerry Mulgrew in Samuel Beckett's Krapp's Last Tape (Tron Theatre), Blackout (New Room Theatre), Secret Show 1, Golden Arm Theatre Project (Blood of the Young) and Thank God for John Muir (Brunton Theatre). His recent assistant directing work includes Seven Hungers (Company of Wolves), Happy Days, Ghosts (Tron Theatre), Lanark: A Life in Three Acts (Citizens Theatre/ Edinburgh International Festival) and Anything That Gives Off Light (The TEAM /National Theatre of Scotland/ Edinburgh International Festival). Paul is originally from Kelso in the Scottish Borders, and trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.
Isobel McArthur is an actor, playwright, musician and theatre maker.She grew up Manchester training and performing with the Contact Young Actors Company, The Royal Exchange Youth Theatre. Isobel later trained at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and since she has performed for and collaborated with a number of prestigious Scottish companies including Imaginate, Playwright's Studio Scotland, The Glasgow School of Art, Terra Incognita and Communicado. Isobel now works in Glasgow as a freelance actor, as well as writing and producing her own work, both as a solo artist and a member of contemporary ensemble Blood of the Young. Recent credits include Anthony Neilson's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Royal Lyceum Theatre), Cock (Tron Theatre Company) and The Last of the Dragons (Manhattan Children's Theatre).
As a playwright Isobel created multi-media comedy show How to Sing It which previewed at Glasgow's Tron Theatre in Summer 2015. Alongside Clare Duffy and Isabel Wright, she also contributed a number of short plays to Golden Arm Theatre Project – a piece of 'gig-theatre' for which playwrights produced innovative pieces of modern ensemble theatre, inspired by new Scottish music.
Anneke Kampman is an Edinburgh-born composer, performer and sound artist. She is currently based in London, where she is an associate artist at Open School East.Her practice concerns the politics and poetics of sound and the voice, using performance, video, installation and text to examine the intersection between experimental music and issues of labour, gender, the body, technology and subjectivity. Recent performances and exhibitions include: The As If Body Loop(BBC Tectonics Festival 2014), I Will Leave You NowAnd This Loudspeaker Will Take My Place (Exhibition, Lancaster Women in Sound Symposium 2015), Where Blips of Light Called Players Disintegrate (performance commissioned and presented by Jerwood Visual Arts) and Labyrinthine, a collaborative Opera performed at The Self The Other Festival in Brussels (Commissioned by La Monnaie De Munt/QO2) and the BBC Glasgow Tectonics Festival in 2016.

The information I have on him came from the research of the late Norma Blanchard Powell, from some of what Aunt Melva told me, and from some of my own on Walter. I'm giving the information from memory because I've been filing and now can't lay my hands on everything as I used to be able to. If anyone has anything to correct or add, please do so.
Alma Moroni Blanchard was born 5 Apr 1842 in Troy, Oakland, Michigan. (The nearby Royal Oak seems to have been named for a splendid large oak tree.) Alma Moroni, called 'Rone' was the son of Asaph Blanchard and Eunice Elizabeth Thompson.
The family — which consisted of Asaph, Eunice Elizabeth, and her parents, Thomas A. and Charlotte Rice Thompson — moved from Michigan to LaHarpe, Hancock, Illinois when he was a baby. Most of the Mormon settlers in the areas outside Nauvoo either squatted or worked communally on land that belonged to more prosperous members of the community.
Asaph's brother Walter M. Blanchard probably joined them by the spring of 1845. He came from Andover, Ashtabula, Ohio to work as a carpenter on the Nauvoo Temple at least for the summer of 1845 (only one of the time books for temple construction has survived).
Asaph's sister, Lodema, her husband Frederick David Winegar, and their children had even earlier settled in Bear Creek, Hanock County after having been driven from Caldwell County, Missouri. Thomas A. Thompson died 11 Sept 1845, the day of the anti-Mormon attack on the outlying Mormon settlements. (No record of his burial that I've been able to find.)
When the Blanchards left Nauvoo with the widowed Charlotte Thompson, probably in the spring of 1846, they went to Garden Grove, Decatur, Iowa, one of several Mormon way stations. Walter M. went back to Andover where he served as the presiding elder for the Strangite Church. They lived there — probably in a dugout or perhaps a cabin — until the spring of 1852 when they were finally able to cross the plains. This means that Grandpa Blanchard walked from Iowa to when he was only 10 years old. But what is even more remarkable is that his grandmother Charlotte also crossed the plains in her mid-70s. (She joined the Church in February 1832 when there were just about 1000 members, and she lived to be 90 years old.) They settled in Springville the year after it was first settled. Of the Blanchard siblings who joined the Church — Asaph, Walter M., Clarissa Arvilla, Lodema, Cynthia — Asaph was the only one who came to Utah. Sometimes just being there is at least half of the battle, isn't it.
Grandpa Blanchard married 13 May 1864 Emma Bocock Law, who had been a plural wife of Charles Law, along with her two sisters. She brought her son Francis to the marriage. She died — probably from toxemia — before her 30th birthday, following the birth of her last child, who also died. He was left with five small children, aged 1 to 8. Even though Medora took a lot of responsibility for an 8-year-old and Eunice Elizabeth was nearby, he seems to have been inconsolable. He married Emily Pierce when Medora was about 12. The mix of his children and the new stepmother was not a success.
When Aunt Jane Ellis came down from North Ogden for her father's funeral (Asaph Blanchard died 23 Sep 1879), she could see the situation. She took the now teen-aged Medora back to North Ogden with her. Aunt Jane was a midwife and she needed someone to carry on when she was called to a delivery. Medora's older brother, Frank Law, helped out with her school expenses. Eunice Elizabeth had been a schoolteacher and was a constant reader so Medora had an advantage there. Soon she was the assistant schoolteacher in North Ogden. About that time, Ann Ham Hickenlooper moved to the North Ogden area. Uncle John Hickenlooper and Aunt Belinda Wade were already living there, and our Grandmother thought Salt Lake City was getting a little too wild for her boys. So when Charles A. Hickenlooper was able to take advantage of a little schooling, he had a teacher about his own age. Another connection between the Blanchard and Hickenlooper families came a little later when Medora's youngest brother Byron married the lovely Annie McLane, daughter of Duncan McLane and Rachel Ann Hickenlooper, Charles' sister.
In the meantime, things were not going well between Grandpa Blanchard and Emily. In fact, Grandpa Blanchard was not doing well himself in spite of his talents. He ended up going to prison and there was a bitter divorce when he got out. He refused to accept Lucile, Emily's last child, as his own. There is an oral history of Lucile at the Utah State Historical Society. The story is that Emily had no means of support while he was in prison. She thought she was going to get a ham but along with the ham ended up pregnant with Lucile.
After that, Grandpa Blanchard sort of drifted around and became the family embarrassment. He had a certain flair with words, wrote a good deal of verse, and he called himself the "bard of Bonneville." He probably had hopes of publishing, but his manuscript was a casualty of a fire. Some of his verses are floating around.
He took sick while visiting family and died 18 May 1913 in Chester, Fremont, Idaho and was buried in the Farnum Cemetery in Chester.
Emma (Blk. 46 Lot 4 Pos. 4), Asaph (Blk. 41 Lot 4 Pos. 3) and Eunice Elizabeth (Blk. 41 Lot 4 Pos. 2) are buried in the old Springville cemetery at 200 West 400 South (an immediate right when you pass over the viaduct coming East into Springville from Exit 263, the middle of the three I-15 Springville exits).

Dear Business Builder,
The dynamics of the business world have changed.
As business owners, we have to adapt or be left behind.
It's no longer sufficient to simply have a digital marketing strategy in place. You need one that works really well - and is good enough to grow your business at lightning speed, while leaving your competitors behind smelling the dust.
If you're a huge company, you may have encountered smaller, more agile competitors swoop in and steal your market share by using Google Adwords or Facebook Ads.
If you're a smaller business, you know how fast you can grow with the help of a High Powered Digital Agency as your partner.
Imagine what it would be like to double your sales in the next few months. Your profits would skyrocket, you might even be able to pay yourself slightly more for all your hard work, and most of all - you'll be able to spend your weekends NOT worrying about work anymore.
Finally, the quality of your life will improve, your employees would be happy, and you'll be able to experience the long awaited FREEDOM which accompanies a successful business.
So ask yourself, are you sick and tired of spending your hard earned money on incompetent people who cost you more than they make you? Are you fed up of all the "Gurus" and "Experts" that have never run their own business, nor spent their OWN money on advertising?
Why not stop all this stress and frustration, and finally work with someone who really knows their S#!t? Our elite team of marketers manage more than $700k of profitable advertising budget monthly.
Unlike many goons out there, we don't EVER let interns or junior marketers run your campaigns.
What's the difference between us and other agencies? We genuinely care for you, and we value ALL relationships in life. Our team will only take on your project if we're 99% sure we can deliver BIG results.
We've proudly helped many of our clients Double, Triple, or even Quadraple their revenue while working with us. Sounds hard to believe right?
That's totally understandable. The Digital Agency industry has a filthy reputation, with many agencies simply collecting retainer fees without even knowing how to run proper a proper Google Adwords or Facebook campaign.
Our client retention rate is currently at 92% year on year, compared to the industry average of 37% (Yes, we're not perfect)
On average, our clients work with 3.7 agencies before working with us. East Side Mafia is known as the "Agency you work with after you fire your agency"
In fact, we're so confident that we'll even guarantee results.
No other agency will dare to do this. Try asking them to give you some form of guarantee, and watch them either run for the door, stare blankly into thin air, or skillfully avoid your question.
By sending highly qualified traffic to your business
Most agencies have it wrong! They focus on useless metrics like website visitors and Facebook shares, but you can't convert those into cash. We are a performance marketing agency that turns your hard earned marketing dollars into revenue. Below are some of the things we're really good at.
Have you tried running Facebook or Google Ads and failed? Or even worse, have you allowed an "agency" to manage your marketing budget with crappy results? We know how that feels, and we're here to help. We're honest, and we genuinely want to help you grow your business.
Digital Marketing is not easy, and it's getting harder with more saturation on Facebook and Google. With so much information and BS online, it's challenging to know where to start.
Why are Top brands working with East Side Mafia to manage their online marketing? Because many have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled their businesses by using the strategies and tactics we implement.
You know money loves speed. Stop waiting for "the right time" to get started.
why choose
Unlike most of the "gurus", "experts", or "growth hackers" out there, our team is doing this stuff every day, NOT talking about it in seminars or online courses. We know what it takes to grow your business, and work really hard to achieve your targets.
Our team is fiercely proud of our work, and will never settle for mediocre results.
If you're looking to EXPLODE your sales or leads, we would love to hear your challenge.
Before you contact us, please understand that this is only for people serious about growing their business for long term success. We value your time, and we humbly request that you value ours.
Our team has gotten Great Results with Dentists, Cosmetic Surgeons, Yoga Studios, Law Firms, and Ecommerce Brands - and helped many of our clients Double, Triple, or even Quadruple their businesses.
If you're looking to scale your business to 7, or even 8 figures and beyond, we're waiting to get this started!

Camp Dread has been envisioned as a modern slasher film. This means that it comes steeped in modern homage, particularly when it comes to the casting. There is the presence of Danielle Harris, who has become regarded as a modern-day slasher heroine ever since appearing as Jamie-Lee Curtiss daughter in Halloween IV: The Curse of Michael Myers (1988) and Halloween 5 (1989), while as an grown-up has played regular roles in Rob Zombies Halloween (2007) and Halloween II (2009) and became the lead in Hatchet II (2010) and Hatchet III (2013), along with appearing in a host of other horror films. She is second-billed despite being in only two scenes, both of which come with irony-conscious lines about how she doesnt watch horror films. In addition, there is Felissa Rose, who also gets a producer credit on the film. Rose gained a certain fame after appearing as the gender-confused Angela in the slasher film Sleepaway Camp (1983). Since the 2000s, Rose appears to have discovered the convention circuit and has made appearances in some forty plus other horror films.
B. Harrison Smith is clearly a fan of genre cinema and Camp Dread has been produced with a love of 1980s slasher films in mind. The film sets up the archetypal summer camp setting, the array of victims and a number of moderately gory deaths for them. Smith never does anything particularly genre-bending with this, nothing to subvert or twist the cliches on their head. He delivers some okay despatches, although nothing that leaves you jumping out of your seat. The one area he does surprisingly well is giving the various teen victims well rounded characters a campfire scene where they sit around and all their various problems come to the fore at the same time as tensions play out is well done. This seemed for a time for be taking the film in a different direction, although the disappointment is that Smith never goes any further than that.
About the only major twist we get is that the slasher film has been conflated with the reality tv horror film. Alas, the reality tv horror is nothing particularly new and has been done by a number of other films over the last few years see the likes of Slashers (2001), Halloween: Resurrection (2002), Hell Asylum (2002), My Little Eye (2002), Reality Check (2002), Cruel World (2005), Survive This (2005), Are You Scared? (2006), Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007) and Elimination (2010).
The main problem here is that B. Harrison Smith does a none particularly enervated job of rehashing the reality tv horror theme. The film seems vague about the explanations of what the group are doing there. They are told it has something to do with their going through a rehabilitation program none of them seem to question the fact that a has-been slasher movie producer is allowed to produce the show and is doing so with no camera people or production crew. Nor even for that matter does anybody raise any eyebrows when, as part of the rehabilitation program, Eric Roberts casually mentions that there might also be a killer running around pretending to eliminate people. The film sort of wavers as to whether the killings are real or staged but never seems particularly interested in any of the interplay between the two when you feel like there is enormous potential in the idea of a horror movie producer making a reality tv program and seeming intent on turning it into one of his slasher movies. The final revelation of what is going on seems an improbably contrived one, at which point the films credibility falls apart altogether.

It was inevitable, growing up in Utica, NY I was destined to become a foodie. It is unbelievable to me how many remarkable culinary creations are unique to the Utica/ Rome area in upstate, New York. The Italian immigrants in this area and the Italian American community today are responsible for a number of local specialties such as tomato pie, chicken riggies, pasticiotti or "pusties" as they're commonly known around here, and the star of this post: Utica greens. Featured at many of the local restaurants it is a dish that's enjoyed as a shared appetizer or even as a main course. It is a staple at every party and one of my favorite dishes.
The greens called for in this recipe is escarole which is a variety of the endive family but with a milder taste. I love escarole in any recipe but if you don't, or if you can't find it, you can substitute mustard greens, frisée, spinach or arugula but keep in mind this will change the taste and texture of this dish.
I am giving you my recipe for Utica greens but you can alter it to fit your taste and what you have on hand. These greens are typically served with some degree of heat from the hot cherry peppers and you can adjust the amount according to how hot you want them. If you do not like any heat then you can substitute sweet cherry peppers in place of the hot. I have used both fresh cherry peppers and pickled cherry peppers with equal success, either choice will work well in this recipe. The traditional recipe calls for prosciutto but you can substitute pancetta, bacon, salami or even Italian sausage. The greens can be washed and boiled ahead of time and refrigerated until you are ready to prepare the finished dish making it a perfect dish to prepare for holidays or parties. Make sure you thoroughly wash the greens because escarole can be pretty gritty!
Utica Greens
- 2 large heads of escarole
- 2-3 hot cherry peppers sliced thin, can use fresh or pickled
- ¼ pound, about 4 slices Prosciutto chopped into small pieces
- ⅓ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ cup of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 3-4 cloves of chopped garlic
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cut off bottom of escarole and discard. Remove any bruised leaves and chop the greens. Place in a large bowl of water and drain and refill several times or until greens are well cleaned. Place in a large pot of boiling salted water. I always add a sliced clove of garlic to the boiling water when I'm cooking greens to further infuse them with flavor. Cook the greens for 6-8 minutes or until just tender. Drain well and rinse under cold water to cool down. Squeeze as much excess water out as possible.
In a large sauté pan heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced hot peppers and sauté 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the chopped prosciutto and chopped garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes being careful not to let the garlic burn. Add the cooked greens, breadcrumbs, grated cheese and chicken broth. Cook for 3-4 minutes until well incorporated. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed. Place greens in a greased oven proof casserole and top with extra Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and grated Pecorino Romano cheese. Place under broiler and broil for 3-4 minutes until top is browned watching carefully so that it doesn't burn. Enjoy as an appetizer, side dish or even as the main entree with crusty Italian bread on the side.

Despite recent improvements in childhood obesity, the overall rate increased in six states last year and decreased in zero.
September 4, 2014
by Chris Kardish
Governing Magazine
The report, called the State of Obesity, is sobering after some recent signs of progress. The situation has improved since 2005, when the obesity rate increased in nearly every state, but overall rates remain static or have edged upward slightly. In 2013, no state's obesity rate declined by a statistically significant margin.
"While we've seen some progress on the childhood obesity front, the results remain mixed for adults," said Jeff Levi, the executive director of Trust for America's Health, in a conference call with reporters. "Quite simply, obesity in America is at a critical juncture," he later added.

Publisher's Summary
And here is the bleak new world of the day after: a world stripped of its institutions and emptied of 99 percent of its people. A world in which a handful of panicky survivors choose sides - or are chosen. A world in which good rides on the frail shoulders of the 108-year-old Mother Abagail - and the worst nightmares of evil are embodied in a man with a lethal smile and unspeakable powers: Randall Flagg, the dark man.
In 1978 Stephen King published The Stand, the novel that is now considered to be one of his finest works. But as it was first published, The Stand was incomplete, since more than 150,000 words had been cut from the original manuscript.
Now Stephen King's apocalyptic vision of a world blasted by plague and embroiled in an elemental struggle between good and evil has been restored to its entirety. The Stand: The Complete and Uncut Edition includes more than 500 pages of material previously deleted, along with new material that King added as he reworked the manuscript for a new generation. It gives us new characters and endows familiar ones with new depths. It has a new beginning and a new ending. What emerges is a gripping work with the scope and moral complexity of a true epic.
For hundreds of thousands of fans who read or listened to The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift. And those who are hearing The Stand for the first time will discover a triumphant and eerily plausible work of the imagination that takes on the issues that will determine our survival.

My First Completed Stephen King Novel
Before I get into my review, I have to say I've been terribly disappointed in a lot of the reviews of this book. The book is almost 48 hours long, yet most people barely have two sentences to say about it. I know most people have read this edition before, but for people like me, there aren't that many helpful reviews.
I've read many many books in my time, but nothing has ever captured my attention the way The Stand did. It starts off with a sick man plowing into a gas station and spreading the disease to about 3 or 4 people there. However, what intrigued me the most was not the characters themselves, but how they changed and grew. There are some obviously "Good" people, and there are some "Bad" ones. However, I felt like King also put some in the middle. He left room for people to change. The story, for me, was not predictable or dull, and by my experience, most 48 hour long books do get dull somewhere. This one never did. The narrator was fantastic. I thought he did a fabulous job. I can't recommend this book enough. I'm glad I started it, but I will warn you, you won't want to put it down. I finished it in 6 days if that tells you anything. Thank you audible for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this masterpiece. I will definitely be revisiting it again.

Worth the wait!
Would you consider the audio edition of The Stand to be better than the print version?
From what I've listened to so far the narrator (Grover Gardner) does a great job! He pulled me into the story with no distracting affectation that you get from so many other recorded books of the horror/fantasy genre. However, the daunting 48 hour listen may have me augmenting the audio edition with my paperback.
What other book might you compare The Stand to and why?
Grant's Pass - by Amanda PIller. A post-apocalyptic anthology, well written and very fun to read. At times I felt that this collection was the 'lost chapters' of The Stand.
Swan's Song - A very good read in the same vein, Robert McGammon is another of my favorites (unrelated but other great books by him: Boy's Life and Going South)
The Road - by Cormac McCarthy. Grittier and darker than The Stand but evocative (the book is better than the movie and I liked the movie)
Which scene was your favorite?
Gosh, so many! - the tunnel, the...hey, I'm not gonna spoil this for first timers! Read it and love it! Once everyone is up to speed, I may update this.
Any additional comments?
To all those folks who won't read this just because it's by Stephen King - please do yourself a favor and get this book. Although is has some 'horrific' scenes, the character development and story arc are some of the best I've ever read. Don't be put off by his reputation as Master of Horror - he's also a Master Storyteller; remember, this is the same author who gave us Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption.
Now, if we can just get Peter Jackson to take a peak at this little book....

Spanish director Pedro Almodovar possesses the singular ability to mix melodrama with kink, and if nothing else, The Skin I Live In plays like the purest definition of his cinematic vision, even if it's nowhere close to being his best movie.
The film stars Antonio Banderas as Dr. Robert Ledgard, a renowned plastic surgeon who has perfected a synthetic skin that is more durable than actual human flesh. At the same time, he's keeping a pretty young woman prisoner in his home. She has a room to herself, and a comfortable bed, and her meals are delivered on a dumbwaiter by Robert's loyal maid Marilia (Marisa Paredes), but she's always clad in a full bodysuit, and Robert keeps tabs on her through cameras he's installed in the room. Her behavior doesn't signal if she's being held against her will, and she attempts to have sex with him without any coercion on his part. However, it's still plainly obvious that Robert doesn't want anyone to know she is there, and he will not let her leave. His secret threatens to come out when Marilia's criminal son shows up and discovers the woman, leading to an attempted rape and a murder.
It's best not to know too much about the plot before going to see The Skin I Live In, because the fun comes from how Almodovar methodically but playfully reveals how this situation came to be and what motivates these characters. There's a sensibility about the whole movie that's very close to noir: We may be through with the past, but the past is never through with us.
Banderas was one of Almodovar's first muses -- he played a prominent role in a number of the Oscar winner's earliest international successes -- but this is the first time the duo have worked together in over 20 years. Luckily, Banderas continues to bring out Almodovar's most-outrageous impulses. You won't hear anyone coming out of this movie muttering, "we've seen that story before."
But in a way, if you've kept up with Almodovar over the last three decades, you really have seen much of this movie before. Sure, the actual plot points are new, but the themes are quintessential Almodovar. His obsession with cross-dressing finds its seemingly natural conclusion in this film, and he continues to show how most men are slaves to their sexual desires, while most women are forever at the mercy of these unstable men.
While it's undeniably gorgeous -- shot with a style that fuses Douglas Sirk and Alfred Hitchcock -- The Skin I Live In doesn't have the emotional pull of his best work. It lacks the emotional revelations of All About My Mother or the aching romanticism of Talk to Her. It takes a very long time to figure out whom, if anyone, we're supposed to care about in this story, and we end up feeling dissatisfied that there's no one to empathize with -- the hero's journey is so perverse that it's nearly impossible to embrace.
For those who value Almodovar's fearlessness when it comes to tackling the most-outrageous subject matter, The Skin I Live In is proof that he still has a number of surprises left in him. But this time around, his plot feels too manipulative. He's finally come up with a scenario so bizarre that even his abundant humanism can't make it feel real.

From police violence to the media's coverage of her campaign, Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein addressed a wide range of topics during a rally in Chicago Thursday evening.
Fitch Ratings lifted Chicago's credit outlook to stable from negative Tuesday due to the city's efforts to stabilize its pension funds.
At a talk Monday at the City Club of Chicago, Illinois State Sen. Kwame Raoul discussed what's next for the Chicago elected school board bill.
Details on Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposed water and sewer tax have been released.
A new tax increment financing (TIF) surplus proposal is being floated in Chicago.
Nearly 1,000 Chicago Public Schools staffers — including 494 teachers — will be laid off, district officials announced Friday.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's plan to shore up the city's municipal pension fund calls for a new water and sewer tax.
A group of Chicago aldermen proposed a package of ordinances Wednesday to generate revenue for the city's cash-strapped public schools.
The Chicago Public Schools (CPS) district has a $300 million budget gap, and schools are reportedly facing a 7 percent funding cut in the upcoming academic year.
"We've received some money from the state, but it's just not enough," Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) said at a press conference before the council meeting with fellow aldermen, the Chicago Teachers Union and other education advocates.
"We need to find more progressive and more viable solutions to increase revenue so that all of our schools can be adequately financed, so that we can give quality teachers an opportunity to teach in our schools," he continued. "When I had a conversation with a principal yesterday, she was perplexed that she could not hire a 20-plus year veteran school teacher because she could not afford it. That's not right."
Chicago aldermen are weighing a mayor-backed property tax rebate plan for households with incomes of $75,000 or less.

…one of THOSE days.
Listening to a great recorded Webinar about using Social Media in your business. Lots of great tips, and info that you wouldn't think of unless it was pointed out by someone who's been there, done that. Thanks The Voiceover Network!
Very excited. I have a day in the studio with Gary Terzza – looking forward to it immensely. All the feedback I have seen and heard points to this being a great day.
We'll also be recording a demo reel, and that is where this venture really kicks off.
Can't wait for 2nd November.
I had a fantastic day at Big Fish Media with the lovely Fenella Fudge. So much fun, and some great tips about working in the VO industry. She's a very funny lady who put me at ease and helped me immensely. Thank you Fenella, (and Big Fish Media for the great location).
If there was one thing I took away from the day it was her advice to:
"…just slow some of it down, and you'll be fine!"
So my Electro-Voice RE20 has turned up! Thanks lovely courier man. It's a heavy thing, (the mic, NOT the courier!) and I can't wait to plug in and get vocal later.

Around the country, other chiefs can relate. So can other communities where officers – and sometimes, the police chiefs themselves – have posted Facebook messages that created controversy and sometimes led to suspensions or firings. Such episodes have played out on other social-media sites, of course. And, like the Internet itself, they extend beyond the United States. (In the United Kingdom, more than 150 officers have faced disciplinary action for bad Facebook behavior, including one constable who wrote: "Let's not be so soft on these [worst expletive imaginable] out there.")

Nope. AT&Ts networks are a regulated public utility.
The FCC may have ruled that the internet is a public utility under Title II, but the infrastructure that AT&T and others pay for (fiber optic lines) ect are still paid for by them. And AT&T isn't the government or a company owned by its users. It's not a cooperative, or a government agency. It's a private company.
If they decide to install monitoring drops on their lines...that's up to them. When you sign up to use the internet through an ISP you agree to a litany of conditions and terms. Most people don't read them.

When I was in high school, I used to love coming home on Friday afternoons and watching Total Request Live on MTV. (Hey, it was the late 90's. TRL was awesome.) I'd drive home, deposit my massive backpack in my room, beeline for the couch, and just…veg. After a week of sports practice after school, hours of homework, and getting up at 5:30 each morning, my Friday afternoon chill fests felt amazing.
I'm no TRL host, but I do take requests: after my What I Ate Wednesday post, Jessie from Jessie Loves to Run and Madison from Eating 4 Balance both requested that I post the recipe for my Middle Eastern Lentil Soup. After doing a happy dance ("People are reading my blog! And they think the soup looks good! Yaaaaay!"), I'm more than happy to oblige their request!
So, think of this as Total Request (not-so) Live, in the sense that it's totally not live, and I'm totally not Carson Daly (thank God) — but if you request it, I'll gladly post it!
I came up with this recipe after finally, finally figuring out the spice mix that makes many Middle Eastern dishes taste so amazing. I was living in Israel for almost a year before I finally cracked the code: it's a mix of equal parts cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, and coriander. Once I had that down, I started adding it to everything — and when combined with garlic and ginger, it's even better.
Middle Eastern Lentil Soup
1 cup dry green lentils
1 cup dry brown rice
1 onion, diced into small pieces
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tbsp minced ginger
2 tbsp olive oil
4 cups vegetable stock or broth
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground cardamom
1 bunch of kale, washed, de-stemmed (I totally just made that verb up – I'm pretty sure it's not a real word, but oh well) and sliced into 1″ thin strips
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, baked with salt and pepper, then shredded and sprinkled with cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, and coriander to taste
Step 1: In a stock pot, warm up the 2 tbsp olive oil. Saute the onions until they become translucent. Add garlic and ginger, saute until the garlic begins to brown.
Step 2: Add the lentils and rice, stir until coated in the sauteed onions, garlic, and ginger.
Step 3: Cover with 4 cups of vegetable broth or stock, as well as the cardamom, cinnamon, coriander, and cumin mix. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and let it cook for 30-40 minutes or until the rice and lentils are soft.
Step 4: Once the rice and lentils are tender, stir in the kale strips — they'll cook quickly and can get mushy and sad looking if they simmer too long, so it's best to add them at the very end of the process. Stir them in until they become a vibrant shade of green (that's when they've reached their happy place). Add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 5: Remove from heat and serve!
Optional: Top with shredded chicken or nutritional yeast.

Trinidad Express / SINCE entering office in 2015, Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley has travelled a total of 17 times – 11 on official business and six in a private capacity.
On one occasion the Prime Minister travelled for both business and pleasure. This was in March this year where he travelled to Houston for energy talks and then proceeded on vacation. On all 17 occasions, Finance Minister Colm Imbert acted as Prime Minister.
Rowley, at the People's National Movement (PNM) post budget public meeting at Piggots Corner, Port of Spain last Friday said that he travelled about seven times since he assumed power. The Prime Minister was most likely referring to the seven occasions he left the country for private business (inclusive of the March trip this year where he went on vacation after the Houstan meetings).
Princes Town MP Barry Padarath took the Prime Minister to task during his budget debate contribution where he said the PM travelled 17 times and not seven as he indicated.
A list compiled of the Prime Minister's travels was also circulated on social media which the Express fact checked based on archived information and releases from the Office of the Prime Minister.
In 2014, Rowley, then the Opposition leader, slammed Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar for abandoning her post and taking a "carefree hotfoot excursion" while citizens suffered.
Persad-Bissessar had gone to Brazil on with her grandson to take in the World Cup action.
The timing of Persad-Bissessar's trip was called into question, however, as citizens have been facing difficulties travelling out of the country as a result of action being taken by workers at the Immigration Department offices in Port of Spain and San Fernando.

UK Universities Plead For More Funding To Compete Internationally, Reveals HEPI Report
The UK's top universities have warned they will need more public funding if they are to continue to compete with institutions around the world.
The Russell Group, which represents 24 of the UK's leading universities including Oxford and Cambridge, said other nations are pumping millions of pounds into research and higher education.
There is a "real danger" without support overseas universities could take over, leaving the UK unable to compete.

Day 106 -- Ugly Pants
When: Saturday, December 15th, 2012
Where: Studio, packing for home
Seriously? Pants again? The last time I wore these jeans, I posed about how much I detest wearing pants. I feel a bit differently now. They are warm and easy to throw on. I still don't think they're as comfortable as wearing tights and a dress, but something keeps telling me to put on pants! It's weird.
It should be noted that while casually wearing these pants around the house, upon first seeing me, my mother's breath was literally taken away. "Oh my GOD!" she gasped, "Those are the ugliest pants I have ever seen! Take them off!"
Needless to say, I did. I was only wearing them to brace the NorCal cold while letting the dog out.

Bayern Munich manager Carlo Ancelotti has been linked with a sensational move to take over Barcelona. This is after Luis Enrique departs in the summer. The 57-year-old Italian has been tipped to be axed by Bayern after a poor first season with the Bavarians.
Bayern Munich are currently favorites to win the Bundesliga and find themselves 8 points ahead of second placed RB Leipzig. However, they have been knocked out of both the UEFA Champions League and DFB Pokal in the space of two weeks to Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund respectively. Hence, this has led to speculation regarding his future at the Allianz Arena post this season, according to reports in Germany.
Ancelotti to Barcelona will not go down well with Real Madrid fans
The news of Ancelotti taking over at Barcelona will not go down well with the Real Madrid supporters. The Italian gaffer has a history with the Los Blancos in the past. Hence, a move to Camp Nou would surely ruffle a few feathers.
Carlo Ancelotti was at the helm of Real Madrid between 2013 and 2015 and during this period guided Los Blancos to 4 trophies. This includes the La Decima triumph over Atletico Madrid in the final of the 2014 edition of UEFA Champions League.
Meanwhile, Barcelona manager Luis Enrique has already decided of not renewing his contract with the Catalan giants. He is set to leave the club after the end of the current season.
Enrique's final season with Barcelona has been a massive disappointment. The Blaugrana have already been knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and are on the verge of missing out on the league title to arch rivals Real Madrid.
Hence, the only trophy Barcelona can win this season is the Copa del Rey. The Catalans will take on Alaves in the final of the domestic tournament on May 27, 2017.
Both Bayern Munich and Barcelona will try and focus on the end of the season. The two teams have the opportunity to end the season on a high. The Bavarians have almost won the league and the Catalans are in touching distance.
The Camp Nou outfit have already confirmed that they will only announce the appointment of a new manager at the end of the current season. Hence, we will have to wait until then to find out if Ancelotti does actually move to Spain, once again.
Rummenigge has no doubts over Ancelotti future at Bayern
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Bayern Munich CEO has recently spoken on the future of Ancelotti at the Allianz Arena. The 61-year-old has stressed that the former AC Milan manager's future is not up for debate after two tournament exits in eight days.
"Carlo is a very good and experienced coach.The length of his contract is well known, and isn't up for debate," Rummenigge said, as reported by ESPN.
"Things have happened that we cannot influence. Injuries, refereeing decisions and sometimes the necessary luck was also missing."
Bayern currently lead the Bundesliga by eight points with four games remaining.

The Tel Halif excavations, where Cynthia Shafer-Elliott works, has been excavating a typical Israelite 4-room house and she explains the significance of this design.
With Steve Ortiz
Gezer, the sleeping giant, has yielded many secrets over the past ten years of excavations, although the first few years were not very exciting. But now there's a clear chronology from the Assyrian destruction back to the Merneptah destruction. More background on the Gezer excavation.

With Steve Ortiz
Tel Gezer, a benchmark site in biblical archaeology, has been under excavation for the past ten years by Steve Ortiz and Sam Wolff (co-directors). During this year's final season of excavation, the remains of two adults and one child were found in a destruction layer dated to about 1200BC. In this 2-part interview we talk with Steve Ortiz about the results of their excavation, what they know about those three skeletons, and why Gezer was such a hard city to conquer, for the Israelites, the Egyptians, and the Philistines, who were all in the area at the time.

With Alice Mandell
Called by one author, "a preface to Biblical History," the Amarna tablets describe the Canaanite world just before the Israelites arrived. These diplomatic messages were sent from Canaanite kings and others to the Pharaoh Akhenaton, describing and complaining about various circumstances. These cuneiform tablets were discovered in Amarna, Egypt, in the late 19th century and are still being discussed and debated by Egyptologists and biblical scholars. In this conversation, Alice Mandell, Assistant Professor of Classical Hebrew Language and Biblical Literature in the University of Wisconsin Department of Classical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies, describes some of the latest discoveries and latest debates about these tablets and the world they describe.

Hi, I've been looking around, and I cannot find the sheet music for Liszt's 'Piano Concerto No. 3'. If anyone knows where I can find it, it would be greatly appreciated if you would tell me.
Dear Franz Liszt,
IMSLP truly appreciates your efforts in making the recordings you have submitted to the site. I know the time and practice that it must have taken, and you are indeed a very talented pianist for such a young age. I see you are also a fan of Franz Liszt, and that is wonderful! Perhaps you could have some conversations with the user Lisztrachmaninovfan :-)
I am writing this message with the deepest regret to inform you that the recordings you submitted had to be removed from IMSLP. While you are an incredibly gifted pianist, we noticed a variety of technical slips in the recordings you have uploaded, and they sadly do not pass the threshold of quality that we have for this site.
Please do not take this message to disuade you from playing the piano or making recordings for IMSLP. Music is one of the great things in life that we can all share, but sometimes we get ahead of ourselves. I think it's possible that the pieces you are recording are a little bit above your current level. But that does not mean that you cannot get there, and I am certain that you will in a few years. We are still thrilled that you want to share your work with the world, and we would love to have your recordings on the site. But perhaps you could consider recording some less technically difficult works that you are certain you've mastered.
With kindness :) - Lndlewis10 01:30, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

I spent the afternoon today at The Knitting Fairy with my friend Wendy. I took a couple of pictures, but if I want Wendy to continue being my friend, I'd better not post them! I mean, I *know* she was concerned about where she was going with her sweater, but the pictures looked like both she and Alissa were ready to just say "To heck with it!" and frog the whole thing.
I was not a good photographer today, I guess. The sweater is lovely! I can't wait to see it finished!
So tonight when I looked out the window, the moon looked so big and beautiful that I just had to take some pictures. I'm still trying to find the best way to take moon shots with my camera. The best picture of the night was actually one of the first I took. It's not such a good picture of the moon, but it does show off how pretty it was!

Trump Calls Civil Rights Hero Lewis "All Talk, No Action"
President-elect Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday morning to blast civil rights icon and congressman John Lewis.
"Congressman John Lewis should spend more time on fixing and helping his district, which is in horrible shape and falling apart (not to mention crime infested) rather than falsely complaining about the election results," wrote Trump or a staffer. "All talk, talk, talk – no action or results. Sad!"
Lewis was one of the youngest civil rights leaders of the 60′s. As a founder and chairman of the influential Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), he was one of the principal organizers of the 1963 March on Washington, when Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech. Lewis also literally led the 1965 march in Selma, Alabama, when protesters were assaulted by state troopers. A trooper fractured Lewis' skull with a baton. Several commentators have noted the irony that Trump would attack Lewis during the MLK Jr. holiday weekend.
Since 1987, Lewis has represented Georgia's 5th Congressional district, which covers much of Atlanta. According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, it has a higher median income than Georgia as a whole, though also higher unemployment. Atlanta does have high crime like many major cities, but several analyses show its problems are not as severe as other major metropolitan areas; violent crime rates are lower than in Kansas City and Columbia, SC.
Trump was likely responding to a clip released by NBC News, where Lewis says that he does not consider Trump "a legitimate president" due to Russian hacking during the election. The full interview will air on Meet the Press on Sunday.

My PhD project focuses on the transmission and reception of Hrómundar saga Gripssonar, one of a number of "lost" Old Icelandic sagas i.e. sagas whose existence is attested in the medieval period but which appear not to have survived in their original form. Hrómundar saga is among the best known of these. A saga by this name is mentioned in a famous description of a wedding feast which took place at Reykjahólar in 1119 found in Þorgils saga ok Hafliða, part of the 13th-century Sturlunga compilation, but the saga has only survived in a 15th-century metrical version called Hrómundar rímur Gripssonar, also known as Griplur, which are presumed to have been composed on the basis of that lost medieval saga. A younger prose version, preserved in number of manuscripts from the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries and printed by C. C. Rafn in his edition Fornaldar Sögur Nordrlanda from 1829-30, is thought to derive from the rímur.
