Lots of jazz standards have seen a peak version that was not the first (Autumn Leaves comes to mind). Stevie Wonder can hardly be improved on, which makes the cover of "As" by Gene Harris all the more extraordinary youtu.be/TNS8-lFuPVs?...

The combination of direct evaporation and ingredient-diffused scent in the new HERMITAGE NOEL POURRI MOUILLÉ from JONATHAN WARD produces the most incredible aroma and a wonderfully circling effect in the room. Read my review at bit.ly/HermitageNoel

I don’t think I had a gateway into horror. Horror was always there. But then it was the 70s. I didn’t have much say on the matter.

SEA JOY
![[Scene is a BEACH. A little kid is running towards the shore. Speech bubbles that follow are mostly coming from THE SEA, which is sort of talking to us.]
1
THE SEA:
Happens all the time.
2
THE SEA:
One second they’re a kid thoughtlessly running into me for joy
[Show kid running towards the sea]
3
THE SEA:
And the next, they’re an adult standing there
contemplating my sublime, death-like endlessness.
[Show the kid instantly transformed into an adult, hands on hips, boringly contemplating the horizon].
4
THE SEA:
I mean, I get it. I’m the *Sea*.
I don’t really do the whole ‘time’ thing.
But it always seems to happen so *quick*.
5
THE SEA:
Right. One way to fix this.
[Shoe the waves licking up against their toes]
6
PERSON [shocked from cold]:
JESUS
7
THE SEA:
Come on
a bit further ….
[Person paddles out into the water a bit]
8
THE SEA:
That’s it…
bit further…
[Person wades to waist height]
9
THE SEA:
Right.
[Person standing still waist height in sea]
10
THE SEA:
HAVE THAT.
[BIG WAVE goes over them]
11
[They are instantly transformed back to a kid again]
KID [laughing]:
UURGHHAHA
12
THE SEA:
Works every time

Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero, says thinktank
Public ownership of England’s water companies could cost close to zero, says thinktank
Exclusive: Common Wealth report argues debt, pollution and underinvestment justify process known as special administration
Ministers could bring water companies into public ownership for minimal cost through a process designed to safeguard vital public services when the companies running them are failing, a thinktank report has argued.
According to the report by Common Wealth, ministers could use a process known as special administration to take over a company like Thames Water and, rather than transfer it to another private company, keep it under permanent public ownership. Continue reading...

As we celebrate Pride let us pause for a moment to remember. This is an image of the AIDS Memorial Quilt on display October 11-13 1996 on the National Mall in Washington D.C. Let us never forget.
