HBO is coming to Cal Poly to turn students into TV monsters
HBO is getting in the Halloween spirit with a special event at Cal Poly.
The premium cable channel is sending a horde of makeup artists to the San Luis Obispo campus Friday night, just in time for pre-Halloween parties, according to an HBO representative.
They'll transform a select group of students — about 10 to 12 people — into their favorite characters from HBO shows for free, HBO said.
Sample looks include the terrifying Night King from "Game of Thrones," creepy kid sister Amma from "Sharp Objects" and sex worker-turned-filmmaker Candy from "The Deuce."
In addition to those full makeovers, the makeup artists will offer quick touch-ups and additions to existing costumes, HBO said.
HBO will also provide tips and videos for do-it-yourself makeup designs.
The HBO Lounge is just one of the attractions at the Monster Mash, an Associated Students Inc., event being held 8 p.m. to midnight Friday at Cal Poly's Multi Activity Center. Other highlights include a roller rink, a DJ performance, a palm reader, escape rooms, face painting and food.
HBO said just three schools will receive visits from makeup artists as part of the cable channel's "Watch Me Become" campaign, including the University of Utah and New York University. Cal Poly is the only California university on the list.
For more information about Monster Mash, call Joanne Lodato at 805-756-1112 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Coit Tower (Abby Kane FBI Thriller - Chasing Chinatown Trilogy #3) based on 0 ratings. 6 reviews.
Really love Abby Kane. Smart, independent, strong FBI agent. Feminine and coy as well. The storyline is far fetched but you wont mind cause its so entertaining. Will continue with series. Cant wait to see where Ty will take Abby next. Highly recommend this series.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! It had enough female air to it to keep my female side interested and plenty enough action and mystery to keep me on the edge of my seat! I loved it!
I just finished the 3rd book in the "Trilogy" and could not stop reading from the first book and sometimes it was the wee hours before I could quit reading because I could not keep my eyes open because I just HAD to read one more page! Excellent writing and always keeping me guessing.
Enjoyed every moment couldn't put them down. Fast paced drama and excitement. You won't be disappointed. Entertaining and a great read. Thank you Ty !!!
In the final book of the trilogy, Agent Abby Kane is determined to end the Chasing Chinatown murders. The question is how. Eliminating the players only creates new players. Somehow they must get to the master mind of the game. By acting as players, they have been able to reach the targets before they became victims, but what will get them to the top? Now, they are no longer one of the teams, Abby has become the target, and even her family is now in danger. Abby feels like a poor mother who doesn't spend enough time with her children before this, now this is taking a toll on her. How can she stop this and keep her family safe? Following up on any and all leads, Abby and Kyle search for a way to end this game. Ty Hutchinson will keep you guessing who the master mind is, but can Abby stop it before it's too late?!

Self-Care : A New Music Playlist
Hey you!!! Are you ready to create a new music playlist, all about self-care and what it consists of? If you have been following me in the Garden of Music, you would have noticed that we have already "Faced the music," "Listened to the music" and now we are about to "change the playlist." As said before this won't be a typical blog post theme. It will be different, raw, emotional and unusual to an extent. Bare with me now things may get a little heated.
Self-care just like self-love is essential for oneself; because it's YOU learning to appreciate, love and care for yourself. To me, self-care has more to do with your mental health and the entire 360 degrees of YOU. Notice my emphasis on the "YOU." Self – care isn't about luxury but, a mean to survive for yourself. When I say luxury, I mean using the "plastic card" and spending it on hair, nails, clothes, etc. even though I am guilty of this sometimes… don't judge me. Self-care has a lot to do with your entire well-being; how YOU look after yourself and putting yourself first before anything. It can come off as selfish but if you don't understand don't worry I will explain in a bit. Self-care is something you have to learn to do for yourself because, without it, I think many of us would be mentally unstable or always in what they like to call "funk." With all that being said… it is time to walk in the music garden, this time we are going to create a new music playlist about self-care; this time we are viewing the difference between self-care and self-love, the meaning of self-care and much more!!!! Who is ready?? I know I am.
Self-care. Say it with me people and shout it: SELF-CARE!Yes, yes yes. Don't you just love that phrase? Doesn't that sound like an ear orgasm? What do you think self-care means?*as I wait for answers * don't be shy all responses welcomed. Now that you all have answered the question… I will tell you what I believe self-care is. "Self- care is self-compassion. It is focusing on yourself in a non-narcissistic way. Paying close attention to yourself and putting your needs and self before others. It's knowing who you are as an individual; this includes the ins and outs of you and your limits. Self-care is getting enough sleep every day or almost every day (I wish I could get 8+ full hours)and eating well or what we like to say "healthy.""Yes, I know this is an extended definition, but at least you get the point. ANYTHINGthat involves taking good care of YOU and being kind to yourself is self-care. That also includes spiritually feeding yourself, changing to a positive environment, decompressing, etc. you get the point. Don't hurt your head I will explain that part in detail a little later on when we create our new playlist.
Let me just admit to this now because I am human with my own personal faults. I kind of suck at self-care. I know it sounds weird for me to say that if I am writing about it but, just hear me out for a minute. Yes, I do understand what self-care is, but I find that I didn't know entirely what it meant and how oblivious I was to it until now. I thought that certain things automatically meant I cared for myself, but I was wrong. Just because I had learned to have self-love, I didn't quite master self-care and what all it involved especially with my mentality. I automatically thought that self-love was enough. WRONG!!!!!!! How did I realize it? I realized when I noticed that I was still getting stressed over simple things, I always felt tired and sad, I kept putting others before myself, I didn't know how to tell others "no", I would always sacrifice "my time" just to benefit others and every time I got into an argument I was only hurting myself. They say that "Good self-care means no stress or anxiety."That is so true. I would always ask myself "Why the hell do I feel this way mentally, emotionally, spiritually, etc. If I am giving myself self-love already?""I no longer have self-hate so what's really going on?"but guess what? I thought giving myself love was the self- care I needed, but I had it all wrong. *face to palm * those are two different things but there is a thin line difference between the two. Anyway… so I did some meditation and realized what I needed to do to care for myself more:
1. Be selfish sometimes: some persons think that being selfish is a bad thing, but honestly if you are trying to care for yourself more it is really not.
2. Walk Away from Arguments:this was a major one for me. Mentally I can't take arguing and fighting anymore. I've reached a point now whereas, I will say what I have to and I will walk away from you. My mental sanity is way more important. I could care less about your smart remarks. To be honest, if I try to argue I'm only going to hurt you verbally. NO CARES ARE GIVEN.
3. Keep Away from Negativity: cut the negative cords out of your life ASAP. This includes your work environment, friends, family, etc.
4. Drink plenty of water:I know this sounds weird, but this is just a reminding to drink at least 8 cups per day.
I only spoke on those four because I know for me personally those are the ones I really need to focus on and are the first four songs on my playlist to self-care. There are many songs you can add to your self-care playlist, but I can't tell you which to add because you know yourself better than I do. One more thing before we stop talking about my personal self *giggles *. I will admit that I am very hard on myself and that I need to learn to lighten up and allow myself to enjoy each and every happy moment in my life; despite things not going the way I would like them too. It is something that I don't want to admit aloud; however, I can't hide from the fact that it is true.
I hope you are enjoying the music thus far about self-care. So, I've had someone say to me before "Don't you think its selfish that you always seem to care about yourself more than others?"well, the answer is "No." in a sense self-care is being selfish but not in a negative light. I would say its more about learning to stop giving so much of yourself and time to others and give more of it to oneself. Like honestly it is not worth it. There are times where we need to learn to say "no" to others because we need time to fuel up ourselves and make sure we are making ourselves happy just as much as we are making others. Why do we always go the extra mile for others and we don't do it for ourselves? Why is that we are so quick to fix our phone screens when it gets cracked, but we can't even fix ourselves when we are emotionally broken inside. Why is it so easy for YOU to cater to your job and your boss more than to cater to yourself? Why for the love of god do you give a shit more about caring for a person who honestly doesn't care for you??? WHYYYYYYYY! We all need to stop focusing on making others happy and leaving ourselves in the dark. Make YOURSELF happy first then everybody else can come after. If you don't make yourself happy, really really happy deep down inside, then who the hell will? We aren't born with self-care but we can learn it, and it is never too late to start. Don't mind what social media has to say because most of the time those "persons" who claim to be living their "best life" are just as stressed and depressed when they put down that camera. If any person tries to tell you-you are being selfish for putting yourself first simply say: "No, I just care for myself more."And if they try to run on with you tell them to "kiss your ass"and politely smile and walk off.
So I know you guys are wondering what the difference between self-care and self-love is… well, to be honest, it is common to mix them up. This is because there is a fine line between the two. So I will try to make this as simple as possible. Self-love to me is more about acceptance of oneself and learning to appreciate who YOU are as a human being. Realizing that you aren't perfect and that you have flaws, but you learn to love every part of you. Self-love starts with YOU and don't apologize for being YOU either. On the other hand, Self-care leans more to the 360 of you, meaning your mentality, spirituality, emotions, getting Intune with your physical self. It's about putting yourself first before anything. Self-care is about having a healthy relationship with yourself. It's about learning to shut down for a while and focus on YOU. Self- love, and self-care go hand and hand together because caring for yourself is to love yourself. Don't you agree? I hope you guys get the point of the difference between the two. I tried my best for you guys to understand the difference. Gosh… I mean…ughhh. Like it's so hard sometimes for me to write about these things because like I said earlier I'm still learning about self-care and creating a playlist in my life for it. *inhale and exhale slowly *This is so off topic, but I really appreciate you all and salute you all who are on this journey like me to self-love and self-care. I've made a vow to myself that 2019 is the year for me to be selfish even if I come across as a mean person at times. Moving on!!!! We are almost done walking through the "Garden of Music" for the day. Just a few more things I want you guys to add onto your new music playlist.
So there are 5 different categories I want you guys to add to your new music playlist. Don't stare at me puzzled, please. Thank You!! Think about it even though self-care is a broad topic there are 5 types of self-care that I have taught myself over the year of 2019.
The first being Sensory:
Of course, sensory has to do with touch, smell, sight, and sound. Sensory self-care is all about the mind and keeping sane and Zen. So things to help with sensory self-care are: walking on the beach and enjoying the feeling of the sand. Listening to music while reading a book. Getting your favorite candle and lighting it up and just inhale that sweet scent you like. Or simply cuddling with a soft cloud like pillow.
The second Spiritual:
I know not everyone is spiritual and that's fine not a big deal. Spiritual self-care focuses on meditating and focusing on your purpose in life and your values. My practices for spiritual self-care were: reading poetry (R.H. Sin, Samantha king Holmes, Atticus, R.M. Drake, Rupi Kaur, and April Green are my personal favs). Looking in the mirror after a nice shower and repeating affirmations. Writing a blog post for you all to read. You guys get the point.
Thirdly we have Social:
I would say social self-care is my favorite. Like, come on who doesn't want to take their self out on a hot date and enjoy their own company (I do). I did it for Valentines Day. Even if you go with a few close friends. For social self-care, I would recommend: make a new friend, join a yoga class, go to the park with your close friends or the bar (depending on how stressful work was that week).
Fourth Emotional:
This one I think is straight forward. If it's not let me explain. We all have feelings and emotions we need to get off our chest every now and again. So let loose and get it all out. Write in your journal, scream at random times when nobody is around. My personal favorite is throwing a tantrum when I'm all alone, I might break a glass or 2. Or simply cry.
Last but not least… Let us Get Physical:
Yes, getting physical is self-care. No, you don't have to work out if you are like me. Dance around your home with your music blasting on MAX. Just go for a simple walk around your yard or neighborhood or even go for a swim. For you older adults, get down and intimate with your partner. *winks eye with evil smile * I heard that's an excellent stress reliever. I hope no-one choked on their drink or food while reading that just now. *giggles *
Now that you guys have your 5 categories for your playlist let loose and add your music and begin the journey of self-care and be at peace. It really feels good to open up about self-care because I never thought a day in my life I would write about such a thing. Funny how the universe works sometimes. Anyway… its time to leave the "Garden of Music."I really hope you all enjoyed this tour and I look forward to hearing your new music playlist. You guys know what self-care is, the difference between that and self-love, you got in my business and how I am learning about it myself. What more do you all need? Nothing right? GREAT!!! *closes garden door *. Please, guys, put yourself first focus on YOU and your INFINITE SELF. It's not selfish. You are simply putting your self and needs before others. Who cares what others have to say.
You are more important than material things. It's Self-care!! Remember that. Smile and hug yourself. I love you silly !!!!

The avoidance of collusive practices by members of a trade or industry, which affect prices, fees, or the ability of others to compete is a major goal of the antitrust laws. This requires that particular attention be paid to activities at RISI Conferences so that anticompetitive effects do not result. A summary of some of the aspects of antitrust compliance follows:
- Price–fixing is clearly illegal. This includes concerted action to raise, lower or stabilize prices. Price–fixing is a per se violation; that is, in itself it is deemed to be unreasonable restraint of trade. No company should exchange or discuss prices with a competitor at a RISI meeting or elsewhere.
- There must be no agreement among competitors to limit or otherwise control production volumes. Discussion of production volumes or quotas should be avoided.
- Agreements to allocate customers or markets are also illegal. Discussion from which allocation agreements could be inferred must be avoided.
- Agreements to channel distribution are unlawful per se. For instance, agreements to sell only to contractors or only to builders would violate the law.
- Conspiracies in restraint of trade are seldom proved by direct evidence of agreements; rather, they are usually proved by inferences from writings, conduct and communications between competitors. Verbal understandings on prices, etc., are as illegal as written understandings. Such can be proved and, in fact, much of the evidence in antitrust cases consists of verbal communications.
Therefore, it is prudent and, in fact, essential to avoid discussions or activities from which unlawful action could be inferred by the enforcement agencies. Any such activity could subject attending companies to costly and highly prejudicial antitrust attack.
If at any time during the course of the conference you as an individual feel that the discussion borders on possible violation of antitrust compliance, you should indicate to the chair that you object. If the discussion continues, you should remove yourself from the situation after requesting that written record of your objection be made.

Boost Productivity By Eliminating Office Clutter
What are some simple ways to cram more into your work day? Something as simple as organizing your desk can boost productivity and make you happier. Good Housekeeping reports sorting work supplies reduces financial stress and marital conflicts. Here are some easy tips to get the most out of your day, and be happier for it, too:
Start With a Purge
First and foremost, there's no reason to make your job — and life — harder. Major organizing endeavors should always start with discarding any papers and items you no longer need. Refer to office guidelines on how long paperwork and files need to be stowed. If there is no reason to keep it, shred and recycle office papers. Also consider donating or trashing unused equipment, furniture, knickknacks, and trinkets.

"This is the worst crisis Hero Factory and the galaxy have ever faced"
― Nathaniel Zib, Breakout Part 1
Parent Page: Missions
|Captured villains escape the Hero Factory jail
The Hero Factory recently experienced a massive Breakout from the prison located in the Factory.
Orchestrated by Black Phantom and Voltix, the breakout freed all of the criminals from their cells in the Hero Factory Storage Facility jail, releasing them back out into the universe. Voltix, who had allowed himself to be captured by the Hero Factory, used his proximity to Von Nebula's Black Hole Orb Staff as an opportunity to trigger it, which created a massive black hole that disabled the villain containment units and provided a means for traveling throughout the universe.
Many of the available Heroes were called to recapture these villains, and bring them back to the factory. In a departure from protocol, each Hero was sent on a solo mission, against the tradition of deploying Heroes in teams. The Alpha 1 Team was given new armor and weapons to track down and bring back the escaped criminals, and were also outfitted with new Hero Cuffs.
After the Heroes had been deployed on their missions, Black Phantom infiltrated the Factory and seized control of it, raising the failsafe shield and preventing contact with the outside world. However, the Hero Daniel Rocka was still inside of the Factory, and managed to thwart Black Phantom's effort with the assistance of Alpha 1 and Nathaniel Zib.
The Breakout was revealed to be an elaborate ruse, so that Black Phantom could steal the structural plans to the Hero Factory and transmit them to an unknown benefactor. The recapture mission is ongoing.

This section is from the book "The Horse - Its Treatment In Health And Disease", by J. Wortley Axe. Also available from Amazon: The Horse. Its Treatment In Health And Disease.
The character and composition of the blood, and the part it plays in the animal economy, has been dealt with in that part of this work devoted to physiology. It has been shown that every part of the body depends upon the blood for the supply of those materials which maintain it in health and repair the waste that is always going on.
Every tissue, nerve, muscle, bone, skin-cell, and hair-follicle depends upon the blood-stream for its maintenance, every gland for its functional activity.
The nutritive material so constantly being given up by the blood for the sustenance of the body is renewed by the food in its passage along the digestive canal. The blood also serves as a vehicle to remove waste products from the body, chiefly by the lungs, kidneys, and skin, and through its medium the body is affected in various ways for good or ill. If from any cause it is deficient in the materials needed for repair or secretion, the body as a whole or some part thereof will suffer, as will also be the case if some deleterious matter be allowed to remain in the blood-stream in excessive quantity, or beyond the time when it should be separated and passed out.
It is intended by the foregoing remarks to show how the nutrition of the body may be affected by introducing into the blood agents which, being carried to all parts of the system, exercise some influence upon its tissues.
The preparations of iron in forms not detrimental to digestion, together with suitable diet, appear to increase the production of red corpuscles and improve the general health.
It is sometimes desirable to employ substances which, instead of inducing the red blood corpuscles to give up oxygen freely, will arrest combustion. Where the body-heat has risen above the normal standard, and a condition of fever prevails, we employ for this purpose quinine, alcohol, salicine, and some other agents, the effect of which is to reduce temperature.
Medicines also act upon the blood by increasing the amount of albumen, salts, fat, phosphorus, etc.

The road in Suburban Big Six girls soccer continues to be tough.
Blue Springs South, ranked No. 10 in the Class 4 state poll, dropped a 1-0 conference decision to host Lee's Summit West a day ahead of meeting No. 1 state-ranked Lee's Summit.
The Jaguars had a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal, but the Titans slipped a direct kick from 30 yards out over the head of Jaguars goalkeeper Megan Swanson in the first half for the game's lone goal.
"After losing to Lee's Summit West earlier in the year, we came out much stronger in this rematch," Jaguars coach Todd Findley said after his team fell to 9-4-1 overall and 4-3 in the conference. "The girls played with great effort and work rate. I'm so proud of their energy and teamwork. We outshot the Titans 6-5, unfortunately they were just a bit better in the end. Sometimes, when two good teams play, a free kick can be the difference in the game. We've played well in the conference and look to bounce back tomorrow night."
LEE'S SUMMIT NORTH 3, BLUE SPRINGS 0: Gianna Palmentere scored two goals as No. 5-ranked Lee's Summit North blanked Blue Springs in a Suburban Big Six contest Tuesday at North.
Sarah Peters and Anna Schwartz combined for the shutout in goal as the Broncos improved to 10-5 overall and 4-2 in the conference.
Addie Merrick scored the other goal, while Keelie Fothergill added two assists and Liz Bales had one.
Blue Springs, which also suffered a 2-0 loss to Kearney on Monday, dropped to 3-8-1 overall and 0-6 in Big Six play.

Photorealism at the VMFA (From May, 2013)
Photorealist gallery open at theVMFA.
There's an interesting new gallery over at the VMFA. With a description tag bearing the simple title Realism.
This room contains nine paintings and two sculptures which came on view March 17th. Never seen before as an ensemble, these pieces have come out of storage from the museum's permanent collection to inhabit their own space in the late 20th century wing. All but two were created during the 1970's, the classic decade of Photorealism.
Together, these pieces seem to have been chosen with an eye for variety, forming something like a sample-survey of the Photorealist movement and its wake, and for anyone growing up in the 1960's, 70's or early 80's these works can't help but invoke a nostalgia for that era. In one painting a smashed Pontiac sits abandoned beside a dirt road. There's also a massive canvas of a graveyard, meticulously done and looking like a blown up, painted over, ten-foot-wide post-card. Across the gallery is a painting of what appear to be seven toga-clad, tussle-headed, early 1970's Manhattanites who imbibe, giggle and smile wryly at one another from the middle of an Arcadian bacchanal.
There is something intangible about these paintings – beyond mere subject matter - that invokes the spirit of the era to anyone who lived through it: something not unlike the effect of Polaroid film.
In hindsight it's hard for us to see what a massive taboo these artists were breaking. First, in the 1950's, Abstract Expressionism had ascended to the throne of "advanced painting," and seemed poised to reign for decades, causing some critics to announce the end of representation. Then in the 60's conceptualism arrived, knocked Ab-Ex off its throne and declared the "death of painting." But paradoxically, Conceptualism - and then Pop - would lay the foundation for Photorealism. First conceptualism with its penchant for formula-over-spontaneity would provide license to paint in the most mechanical of ways. Pop took that license and replicated the every-day commercialism of the post war industrial boom. The possibility of photorealism grew out of these two developments.
But not all the photorealists were working from slide projectors. Also included in the gallery are two artists who painted exclusively from life: Philip Perlstein and Gregory Gillespie. Pearlstein often strikes me as a kind of human tracing machine, with an almost inhuman eye for the human form, copying down rigid outlines and pedantically transcribing cool pink flesh tones. If it's a graceful, spirit-filled depiction of the figure you're looking for you might have better luck going to the local wax museum than gazing into a Perlstein. There is however, something else happening in his Two Female Models Reclining on a Cast Iron Bed, something that gets at what's going on in the whole gallery, something that cuts to the essence of 1970's Photorealism.
A closer look at Pearlstien's painting brings our attention to the arabesques of the cast-iron bed-post as they pass across the front figure, cropping it and leaving us with smaller segregated views of the body: a wrist overlapping the model's hip, folded hands resting on her belly, and the corner of a heel peeking out from behind the line of her calf. Anyone who's ever tried to draw something like this from life knows how frustrating such a problem can be. These various overlapping shapes would be constantly shifting, even with the slightest movement of the artist's head. There would also be the effect of stereopsis, having two eyes makes you see such overlaps as doubles.
It would be impossible to copy this part of the painting from life; it's been constructed in a way that implies very clearly a kind of rational intent, something like visual engineering. The story of this analytic construction is the primary content of the painting. The implications of Pearlstien's process hit the viewer directly and more forcefully than the painting's actual subject matter (two nudes on a bed). His painting is about thought: cold, analytical thought, and how important clear thinking is to seeing the world around us with any degree of real accuracy. This is an essential characteristic of classic Photorealism; something which can be seen as a swing away from the subjective, heroic and ineffable spirit of Abstract Expressionism, and toward the clear, the fixed and the familiar.
One of the charms of these paintings is their ability to combine the familiar and the casual on the one hand, with the analytical and the scrupulous on the other. It's a difficult juxtaposition to pull off, but one that these artists do in many places, and that's one of the reasons this is such a fun section of the museum to visit. So next time you're down at the VMFA, take make sure you set aside some time to see this gallery!

Even as the dust settles from "Captain America: Civil War," Marvel Studios is preparing to travel to another dimension in "Doctor Strange."
With film's blend of magic and alternate realities, director Scott Derrickson promises the Sorcerer Supreme's big-screen debut will have a visual flair the Marvel Cinematic Universe hasn't seen before.
"If your love for the early Stan Lee-Steve Ditko comics was that visual, psychedelic ambition, I think you'll be pretty satisfied," he told the Los Angeles Daily News. "The primary resource for the visual design of the whole movie came from those comics."
Derrickson, known more for his horror films "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" and "Sinister," said he met with Marvel Studios' President Kevin Feige eight times before he landed the "Doctor Strange" gig, adding they quickly saw eye-to-eye on who should play Stephen Strange: Benedict Cumberbatch.
"You feel that he can play the intelligence, the arrogance, the unlikability and yet intrigue of Stephen Strange," Derrickson explained, "and that the massive arc that the character goes through in those early comics is something that he would be able to portray."
"Doctor Strange" has drawn its fair share of criticism, most notably for casting Tilda Swinton as the Ancient One, who in the comics is an elderly Asian man. Although Marvel has said Swinton's Ancient One is of Celtic decent, Derrickson still came under fire for casting a non-Asian actress in the role.
"Tilda was a way of adding diversity in terms of not just an ethereal, enigmatic, otherworldly actress playing an ethereal, enigmatic, otherworldly character," he said, "but we're bringing a middle-aged woman who's not 28 years old in leather pants into the Marvel Universe in a major role."
Derrickson admitted he knew Swinton's casting was "erasing a significant potential Asian role," but added that it led to his decision to change Benedict Wong's character Wong from his subservient role in the comics.
"I was going to leave Wong out of the movie at first; he was an Asian sidekick manservant, what was I supposed to do with that?" he said. "Unlike the Ancient One, he could be completely subverted as a character and reworked into something that didn't fall into any of the stereotypes of the comics."
Also starring Chiwetel Ejiofor, Rachel McAdams and Mads Mikkelsen, "Doctor Strange" opens Nov. 4.

San Miguel is a beautiful, culturally diverse city of about 170,000 people, located in the state of Guanajuato. In the early to mid-twentieth century it was 'discovered' by foreign artists who moved there and developed an artistic culture around institutes such as Instituto Allende and Escuela de Bellas Artes. Since that time art has been a central theme in San Miguel life.
The climate in San Miguel is very mild. There are many delicious restaurants and plenty of beautiful hotels and Airbnb's for lodging. And because of the vibrant art scene, there are literally dozens of art galleries in walking distance.

One-on-one coaching/mentoring sessions with Jerry and Melinda are also included at the request of each student.
Melinda Cootsona is a figurative painter in Northern California. Greatly influenced by the Bay Area artistic tradition, her paintings focus on the strength of the female figure. The paintings are created with layers of oil paint, applied and then scraped away revealing figures that fill the canvas in varying poses of contemplation or reflection in abstracted surroundings. Whether in a soft or harsh surrounding, the strength of the female figure is primary.
Having taught oil painting for almost 20 years to students around the globe, Melinda takes particular care to interact with each student individually to help them discover their own voice and work on their unique needs.
Melinda's work has been included in exhibitions at the Bakersfield Museum of Art and the Triton Museum in California, The San Francisco Art Market, The Coos Bay Museum of Art in Oregon, and Art Basel Miami, as well as many group and solo shows throughout the U.S.
Jerry McLaughlin, MD, initially trained as a pediatric critical care physician. He began his artistic career as a fine art photographer, but realizing he had always wanted to be a painter, he abandoned photography and started painting. Although encaustic was his initial medium, once he discovered cold wax and oils, he quickly transitioned and has never gone back.
His work has been collected across the US and internationally and has appeared in many publications. He works with HG Contemporary Gallery in New York, DZINE Gallery in San Francisco, Jennifer Perlmutter Gallery in Lafayette, California, and ARTERRA in Seattle. In 2017, Jerry, with co-author Rebecca Crowell, published Cold Wax Medium: Techniques, Concepts & Conversations. It is the first ever comprehensive book exploring the myriad techniques and ways artists are using cold wax medium. Jerry is passionate about teaching, and he holds a certificate in adult education from the University of Washington. His strength lies in identifying and addressing the individual needs of his students and helping them analyze and develop solutions to the difficulties they are encountering. Jerry maintains an active artist mentoring and coaching practice, working with artists around the world. He lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico with his husband Mike and their dog Bert.

Temporal Driftwood (Time Is Eternity)
by Stephen Osborne
3.00 · 1 ratings · Published: May 31st, 2012 |
David tried not to stare, but it wasn't easy. Gorgeous Guy had a mop of dark hair, dark brown eyes that David knew he could stare into for eternity, an adorably dimpled chin, and just enough of a five o'clock shadow (it was just after noon) to give him that dangerous, bad boy look. This guy is totally out of your league, Lassen. Then GG is gone, replaced by a little man with spectacles telling David he's got one more opportunity to connect with the love of his life. The question is... will David take the chance? A story from the Dreamspinner Press 2012 Daily Dose package "Time Is Eternity."

Lessons Learned, Investor Builds Portfolio of Stamps
Saturday, May 27, 2006
In the 1940s, a woman in Middletown, Ohio, set aside a stack of postage stamps, expecting them to appreciate in value over time and thereby pay for the college education of her young son, Bill Gross.
When Gross went to the big city 20 years later to try to sell the stamps, dealers gave him the bad news: They were worth less than his mother had paid.
He went to college anyway, thanks to a scholarship, and became William H. Gross, managing director of Pacific Investment Management Co., controller of more than $600 billion in fixed-income investments and perhaps the most influential bond investor in the world. Somewhere along the way, he decided to give a try at assembling a stamp collection with better financial staying power than his mother's -- and in the process learned that building a portfolio of rare stamps is not all that different from building one of bonds.
"I knew stamps could be a money-losing proposition," he said yesterday. "Being a bond investor, I wanted it to be a hobby, but a successful one. I just didn't want to lose my shirt."
He hasn't.
His collection, along with dozens of others, are on display at the World Philatelic Expo over the next week at the Washington Convention Center. Gross's collection is in competition to be named, in effect, the most impressive stamp collection in the world.
He owns -- and has put on display -- every stamp the United States produced from 1847 to 1869, including the 1868 1-cent "Z Grill," a specially embossed stamp with the image of Benjamin Franklin, of which only two are known to exist. It cost him $3 million, via a trade in which he gave up four 1918 24-cent "Inverted Jenny" stamps. In total, his collection is valued in the tens of millions of dollars. (Forbes magazine estimates Gross's net worth at $1.1 billion.)
It has been a good few years for rare stamps. There are no reliable indexes of the values of rare stamps, but Charles Shreve, of Shreve's Philatelic Galleries, said that in a typical example of recent appreciation, an 1869 15-cent stamp with an inverted center sold at auction in 1993 for $209,000 and in 2004 for $418,000. It just traded hands this week, he said, for $800,000.
Gross examines that rapid appreciation in the last couple of years through an economic prism as well. It is a function, he said, of excess liquidity sloshing around the globe, a result of easy money policies in Japan and the United States.
"The liquidity provided by central banks over the past two, three, four, five years has led to asset appreciation not just of homes, but of stamps, collectibles, gold and commodities."
He started out as a serious stamp collector in the early 1990s, when he was becoming wealthy from the investment-management business. He fondly remembered collecting stamps as a young man but hadn't engaged in the hobby in decades.
So Gross went to see a stamp dealer, who offered to sell him a group of stamps for $2,000. In trying to make that transaction work, he used his business training.
