Hey guys, it's Nate A.K. the Photocount and welcome back to the channel. I wanna talk a little bit more about the web app today and some of what is going on right now with the FIFA 22 news with a lot of insane ratings being leaked, posted. We'll talk about that whole situation and of course the web app. A lot of people were misinformed about the release date of this web app. A lot of people thought it was gonna be released yesterday on Wednesday the 15th. I don't think I ever expected it to be released then. If you watched yesterday's video about how to start FIFA Ultimate Team, I mentioned the 22nd of September. That in my mind has been the most likely date for the web app alongside of a confirmed date for EA Play but I wanna dive into that a little bit deeper today and again just kind of quote some of the rumors and put some of those down and just talk about this web app period a little bit more as well as some of the ratings that are going on and just what the madness is right now as we head into Friday. I think tomorrow and Friday is a big day because we hopefully will get pitch notes and that'll give us a lot of information on what's gonna happen in this next week where we will be starting to get onto our Ultimate Team for the first time on that 22nd or maybe they're dropping the web app a day early on the 21st, I don't expect that but again, let's talk it through. So first things first, a lot of people there was many internet articles, Dexterito, I think Gfinity, Charlie Intel, even posted videos on their, not videos but articles on their websites that the FIFA 22 web app was expected to be released on September 15th. Now I remember seeing these articles like literally a month ago. These articles have been out for a while and when you look at the calendar, the web app has always been released about seven or eight, maybe nine days before the actual full release of the new game coming out. So the full game release is October 1st and for us this year that puts that date to Wednesday, September 22nd as the date that we would expect to see the web app coming out but for whatever reason, a lot of these guys thought it was gonna be September 15th. I didn't think it was gonna be there from the beginning and of course it is not out because as we know right now that even the FIFA 21 web app is still up and running. I could log in right now to the FIFA 21 web app and control my FIFA 21 club. So one of the things we're gonna be looking for this week to see and to get our first I guess glimpse or a little bit of information that the web app might be coming out soon is a tweet like this from Footwatch last year or just when you try to log on your companion app or your web app, they will take the old one down for maintenance, load in the new database, load in all their new features to that web app and the web app will be down for basically like a week. Last year on FIFA 21 at the start, they dropped the FIFA 21 web app on September 30th. You can see that on this 23rd of September, so a week prior, a week prior to the web app dropping, they took it down. So of course right now we are technically a week out from when the web app should be dropping and it's not down as of yet but I do think that at some point in the next couple of days they're gonna be taking this down for maintenance. They'll probably tweet it out. Maybe they won't, who knows and that'll be a big clue that the web app is coming soon. But again, I'm gonna talk about this a little bit more tomorrow. I really think that these launch pitch notes that we get hopefully on Friday or very soon should give us a lot of information about what is gonna be coming over the next week or so because again, you guys remember these from last year there's a ton of stuff talking about early access, ones to watch, they confirmed some more players last year programs, icons, tons of information to talk about when those pitch notes do come out. So we're gonna be looking for the web app to be shut down and that will kind of give us, I guess, a little help of information kind of a leading and knowing that the web app is going to be coming soon. But again, it just seems weird to have EA Play and they have the web app starting on the same day but I think that is what we are gonna have. I know a lot of people say the web app is always one day before EA Play but in the past couple of years EA Play has been released on a Thursday not necessarily on a Wednesday. So we'll talk a little more about that timeframe later on in a couple of days as we get closer because it might depend what you do if you can get on EA Access first or on the web app first, it just kind of depends on timing and servers and stuff like that. So we'll talk about that a little bit later on but that's kind of the web app situation I never expected it yesterday. I expected on the 22nd, maybe the 21st. Those would be my two dates. If EA did wanna do a web app starting earlier that's kind of what I'm expecting for that. Now, let's talk about ratings because there's a lot of stuff going on especially on Twitter at the moment. It is not all 100% confirmed but there were some new cards released yesterday. These are all official. I believe basically the ones that are on footbender are mostly official. I'm not sure about Gretzka and Godfrey but there's a lot of pictures going on on Twitter and we'll talk about that here in a second of people that have links to a database and yeah, it seems really legit and the cards look pretty real but it's not confirmed yet. So it does look like however that we are going to be getting a full database because if there's these groups and collections of players that somehow people in the world have attained and have put together, you would think that there is gonna be some sort of database released. So those rumors early this week that a database might not be released, I think those are kind of being put to the side. It sounds like we will get a full database per normal at the moment. Let me show you this really fast. Let me look up FIFA 22's website and just show you this. They are releasing ratings right now by league. So yesterday it was La Liga, the day before that it was Premier League. Today we will probably see another league, maybe the Bundesliga or something like that as the focus and EA will tweet some of that out. Now guaranteed yesterday we did get some brand new ones to watch cards. So we now have eight ones to watch items that are confirmed, Lionel Messi, Wijnaldum and Hakimi. Hakimi back to back years with a ones to watch card. But these are three brand new ones to watchers that were confirmed by EA Sports themselves. They posted them all. So Messi and Ronaldo wants to watch this. How crazy is that? We've never had a Messi wants to watch before. Obviously we had a Ronaldo wants to watch in FIFA 18 I believe, FIFA 19. FIFA 19 is what it was when he transferred to Juventus and now we have another Christiana Ronaldo wants to watch. I mean, Lukaku has already confirmed, Gorillich has already confirmed of the eight cards that are confirmed. Again, it's looking like a really, really solid set of cards for a ones to watch so far. So eight cards already confirmed, definitely more are gonna be coming out. But again, Messi, Wijnaldum and the Hakimi were added today to the list that we already knew. So probably a few more of these, maybe as we go into today on Thursday as they're releasing another set of ratings per league. Maybe they'll show another ones to watch for like Bundesliga, they do Bundesliga, so we'll have to see. But again, let's talk ratings, right? Because a lot of people are on Twitter talking about these ratings and these cards that are being posted. Big information with this Goretzka card. I mean, this is one of the best. I mean, this is basically like Baby Holitz already on a gold card, 87 rated Goretzka, his lowest face that being 81. Now we don't have in games for a lot of these cards yet, but absolutely insane looking card. A really big upgrade for Goretzka. That card looks fantastic. If you take a look at some of the other higher rated cards that were confirmed yesterday, Memphis the Pi 85 rated didn't get an upgrade like a lot of people are hoping for with the year that he had last year. Frankie the young 87 rated card looks really solid with the dribbling and the passing stats that he has. A lot of people are pretty pumped about that one. I think that Alejandro Gomez is a solid card every single year. He looks pretty good again this year. I think his pace is down, but still a solid looking card, 85 rated. And a lot of people are actually talking about this Jared Moreno, which to me is just SBC fodder. But this is still an item that I think people will maybe try out a little bit at the start of the game if big and tall strikers, not necessarily big and tall, but you know, more of the less mobile strikers or just somebody who's got a powerful striking boot and a lot of finishing is overpowered in this game. This Jared Moreno would kind of fit that bill. So it's going to be SBC fodder at some point, but a lot of people are talking about that Moreno card and the massive upgrade that he got.  Those were all the confirmed, basically confirmed ratings. Now there was one more and again, same thing with Gretzka, it's maybe not 100% confirmed, but this Ben Godfrey card was being tweeted out by a lot of people yesterday as a confirmed rating. And look at that card, bro, it's all I'm gonna say, that card looks nuts, 83 pace, 82 physical, 76 defense, a lot of people are gonna think of like FIFA 20 Joe Gomez when he was 80 rated, right? With these sorts of stats, a great starter level center back probably gonna be 10, 20, 30,000 coins right away, but I will say this, all the stuff that's happening on Twitter today, we are seeing some crazy, crazy levels of stats. Now again, what I'm about to show you, you can only take with a grain of salt because technically it is a leak, even though it could be 100% legit and 100% real, these are still only hype, right? So all based on hype and hearsay, nothing is confirmed by EA sports and that is what we, if I'm gonna show you something that is not confirmed, I'm gonna make sure that I tell you upfront that it is not and this is not confirmed by EA sports yet, but we will see when we get the database, a lot of this stuff that has been released before EA has confirmed it, has been spot on. But take a look at this Laquac right card, 88 pace, 80 defense, 77 physical. Again, just a continuation of a massive upgrade of pace to these cards in the center back position and Bobby with 88 pace again, a nice green link to that Laquac card with the Wolfsburg links. Klosterman is another center back item, 85 pace, 82 dribbling, 77 physical. There's cards all over this game that are being quote unquote leaked, quote unquote, I guess released and ratings that are being shown from these different websites and lists that people have that are supposedly from the database and that's where all this is coming from. But if these cards are real, it's insane, right? And there's gonna be so many center backs with high base card stat of pace starting off this game that it's ridiculous, right? So I mean, you go on Twitter right now and you see that Weaver and Donk trading where guys that were tweeting on a lot of these yesterday. There's a lot of information just all over Twitter. And again, it's fun to read through and fun to look at. Cimetto, 80 rated, right wing back, right? Lasdano, 81 rated with 93 pace. Lindelof, Ibrahimovic, right? Some skill move in weak foot. Four stars, weak foot, five star skill moves. Now Donk tweeted out yesterday that Ronaldo is no longer five star, five star. Even though, and he made a good point here, Son will not have five star skills. He was shown doing a five star skill in the FIFA trailer, but that dream is now quote unquote over as he says. So again, what I'm saying here again is that you just have to take all this with a grain of salt. It seems really legit. It seems really real because they're pulling up these stats from whatever their source is, pulling it up so quickly. And from what they've shown before, it has actually been correct. But it's just kind of interesting. So take a look at Ed Weaver. I mean, ESOC, right? Take a look at these accounts if you want to kind of read through them. But again, just a grain of salt. We're not putting all of our, we're not basing everything on this until we see that database come out from ESports. So again, with this information available, it does make you think that possibly by the end of this week, we might have a database to look through cards to look at and stuff like that. So I know that as you guys are really starting to prepare your starter squads, what I'm kind of using as a general rule of thumb is when the cards show up on foot bin, they're legit. Foot bin, foot whiz, wherever you're looking right now to look at your legit cards, I believe that foot whiz doesn't have any of these ones that are floating around Twitter. If, let me double check that just to make sure, latest FIFA 22 players, yeah. So none of these sites, I mean, Foot Whiz isn't even putting up Gretzka and Ben Godfrey yet. So just again, stick to these websites to know what is basically 100% confirmed because these guys will be spot on like 99% of the time. They will only be posting cards that are confirmed 100% with their stats and nothing that is just technically hearsay even though it does seem very legit. So again, take all that with a grain of salt but it is very, very cool to look at some of those cards and get excited about some of those ratings that you do see and some of those cards that are popping up on the timeline. I'll show you a couple more here really quick. Cool Abali with a nice pace upgrade, 81 pace, makes him look really usable, right? When before he wasn't necessarily that usable, 87 defense, 85 physical, you could pair him up with Scrinniar in a Serie A back line if you wanted to. Of course, Godfrey and Gretzka, Muriel, 89 pace, 87 dribbling, 83 shot, another Serie A card. Abamiang with 89 pace, a big downgrade. That was a card that was talked about a lot yesterday. Inaki Williams with 94 pace, 78 dribbling, 79 physical, he was an expensive card last year at the beginning of the game. Bruno Fernandez, technically from what they're saying has the most in-game stats. So again, that does look like a pretty nice card, a big shooting and passing boost I think for Bruno. So we're taking these with a grain of salt, but it is fun to look at. And again, I wouldn't stress about it too much because on Friday, if we do get a database, then we're gonna be getting all this information anyway. And the minute that we get on the web app, all of this hype and all of this leak kind of stuff is gonna go away, because we'll be on the game and doing all that sort of stuff. So it's nice to have, it's cool to see, but it's definitely not confirmed just yet. And that's what I wanted to talk about. There's just a lot of rumors going around. So there's gonna be a secondary upload today at some point about how to use your FIFA points, because a lot of you guys probably got the ultimate edition, right? A lot of you guys probably got the ultimate edition of FIFA 22. You pre-ordered it. You get the ones to watch player, the FIFA points, the foot heroes card, all the loan stuff. So I wanna talk about how those FIFA points are gonna impact the market when they are released, which is going to be on the early access date, not EA play. Early access is when we think you'll be seeing those FIFA points, because that's gonna impact the market a lot. It really, really is. So that's gonna be an upload coming out later today. If that has any interest to you, make sure you check that out there. That'll be on the channel today. So that's the video for today, boys. Again, the web app is not released yet. It was never gonna be released today. Watch out for the FIFA 21 web app going down. That'll be a clear sign that the 22 is starting. And we'll kind of follow this ratings situation as we get closer and closer to the end of the week and closer and closer to the 22nd, which is the day we know for sure we're gonna be getting on FIFA 22 with EA play for the first time. So one less day, boys. One less sleep until we get to FIFA 22. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it. Comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you're new. It's been Nathan Fodacow and I'll catch you guys later. Peace out.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overload here sure we're talking about scream six in this video here again today So today on Christmas Day this Sunday We got a new holiday themed Scream six poster now this scream six poster is something I doubt that of course will be used constantly Throughout the rest of the marketing however It seems that the poster has a few teases and tidbits of what we could potentially expect playing into the plot of this upcoming movie One thing in particular can be interpreted two different ways because of a thing that viewer or not has decided to share Which again if you don't want any potential spoilers, you should not be watching this video. However, just to continue the poster itself is of New York City and What many people think they're spotting are clues that we have more than two killers in the movie They think there's a clue related to stab nine The fact that stab nine is blatantly mentioned being the biggest thing and the potential chance that we could be seeing a musical Related to Gale whether there's very first book about Marine Prescott But that line in particular the wrongly accused the musical portion of the poster is also being interpreted as something related to Sam Carpenter, which I will get into in a second So as pertains to the contents of what can go down in stab nine Stab nine very much so could be the actual movie adaptation of what happened not too long ago with the events of screen five. However Given that that movie Just was released and the time frame between five and six in terms of what Melissa Borreira said in the past It seems like not too much time has gone Come and go not to say they can't rush production because that could easily be a way for them to be Commentated on them on themselves the fact that stab nine happened so fast after Richie and Amber's attacks Could be within the commentate on the fact that we're getting scream six so fast after screen five So maybe that's all it is scream scream or the stab nine contents very much So could be related to that or they could be related to some other Requel idea that was born out of what's out of what Richie and Amber did but not ex exactly blatantly portraying that on screen now when it relates to The wrongly accused line wrongly accused the musical people have been associating that I want to talk about the Sam Carpenter interpretation People have been interpreting that it might have something to do with Sam Carpenter And the reason for that is because a viewer and on put out a tweet Revealing that one of the things playing into the story of screen six is Sam Carpenter Having to face a nasty rumor that she is the one that is actually behind the events of screen five and that Amber and Richie are innocent now. It's also something that apparently is very widespread So that could be a lot to deal with of course knowing you specifically did not do that and that you are innocent it could be commentating on this trend of false accusations people are facing And how things can be twisted around onto you And you are painted as the villain by the media when you really have not done anything wrong And the evidence of who actually did something wrong is right there in front of them But yet everything's being spanned on to you That could be something they're commentating on about some of the current trends in pop culture Related to some other instances where this has actually happened Or it can also be interpreted as their way of commentating on conspiracy theories Now the reason i'm bringing up the conspiracy theories is because there was a while ago I brought up a video idea of maybe you could have a motive Where sydney prescott if she was involved but now of course this would be applied to sam carpenter I applied to the sydney in that video What if You have a group of people maybe they're from the staff subreddit who believe that amber and richie are innocent So in their quest to prove that amber and richie were innocent and maybe they they downright know these two aren't innocent But they think that it would be much better To have a movie play out Where you actually see the daughter of billy lumas as the villain And the idea that amber and richie had actually needs to play out So they go out of their way to stage a new spree And prove this conspiracy that's going around to be true That sam was the killer in screen five and that it was not amber and richie You could have a group of conspiracy theories working to prove that the events of screen five actually were the work Or actually were the cause of sam and not amber and richie. That would be a very unique motive It would be something that's fresh. It would be something that's never been done before Uh, you could also throw in something else there just so that way you if you want to make it more personal You can throw something else in to make it more personal, but you can see something like that play out uh So that nasty rumor that's something that also is tying into like Their way of giving sam a new arc or something more to her development over time with this trilogy If it ends up being that because we know that in screen two what sydney was dealing with in her screen two Was unwanted press attention now because she had press all over her, you know the new movie the new book by gail weathers people trying to have Her just in the spotlight that she did not want she just wanted all of this to go away And the press was just all over her because she was that she was the uh, titular target of these of these sprees She's now had her character immortalized in In in several forms of media that being a very big recent horror film that's gained a lot of recognition And you know the killing started up again So sydney had all this unwanted press so the unwanted press for sam comes in the form of nasty rumors Now as it pertains to the gail weathers musical that you could potentially be seeing play out with the wrongly accused Monica wrongly accused was the very first book that gail weathers put out that was about marine prescott So is gail weathers back to exploiting things of the past to try to make herself more relevant again And I don't want to chalk it all up to just exploitation because we know that there's a lot more to gail Then how she could be perceived by other people because we've gotten to know the character a lot A lot more personally over the course of these six films Could she be going through a phase where she is desperate to revitalize her career? And now the very first book that she's published is turned into a musical Because she did say that she started all of this if she hadn't written that book about About sydney's mother in screen five and sydney kind of talked her down that no it wasn't you it was billy lumas who started this Okay, so here's the thing If she actually has allowed them to turn that first book into a musical I wonder what type of development that would give between her and sydney if sydney is to return in future installments because She's back to profiting off of these terrible things that she seems so remorseful about She could be it could be her way of just coping with the loss of do we or again It might be just something more than exploitation. Maybe there's something going on with gail that we will learn about in screen six That ties into why she's going back to her old stick Maybe some of her new material just isn't being as profitable for her as she thought it would be And she's already talked to sydney about this and maybe sydney gave her Give her her blessing for this and sydney understands the industry now a little bit more given that she's now a written author And maybe there's some other things that sydney has been working on Over the years that relate to what they titled exploiting And that's why sydney was okay. Maybe sydney gave her a blessing gail Weather's car probably also has written a new book. That's another possibility There's so many different things that could be going on in screen six But the new poster definitely gave us a lot to talk about so that's why I wanted to make this quick video Uh, what do you guys think about it? What do you think all of the stuff in the tea or in this new poster means? Let me know down in the comment section below If you haven't already, of course, make sure you go ahead and subscribe turn on post notification The number is a video in the description. I will have links on my social media accounts I am on facebook twitter and instagram you can message me there, of course You let me know is any movies news or reviews let me to cover in the future And with all that in mind guys, I will see you in the next video


Well, hi there. I'm Sandy Allnock and I have a new pen in the studio and it's from Bastion. They emailed and asked if I'd be interested in trying one of their pens. They have fountain pens on their site, but they also had a $125 ballpoint pen and I just had to see what this was all about because I've never had a hundred dollar ballpoint pen and this one is a bolt-action pen. It's made of titanium and it's very shiny. The bolt-action, I think, is this thing. When you want to click the pen to make it come out or in, you just push down on that. You don't have to push left to right. It just automatically snaps back and forth and the pen releases out of the front like a normal ballpoint pen would. The weight of this is super nice and I like a good heavy pen. Some people don't, but I like a good heavy pen, so I was hopeful. So I thought let me give it give it a little test and right away I could see this was one that's going to give me some gray lines because it doesn't have like an immediate flow to it. If you're used to fountain pens, like it's nice when the ink just kind of comes gushing out. It does not do that here. So that means it was going to give me a lot of gray tones and I thought I'd give it a little test and see can I get a nice gradation making lines with it and then all of a sudden I found a spot where I just didn't want to draw it all and then it kind of got itself started again. And I'm going to have to watch that throughout the drawing to see if that happens again. But you can kind of get it started by scribbling again. The pen itself has the clip that you have to have up on top or else it'll run into your hand. I guess depending on the size of your hand. But the other thing is that bolt, that bolt has to be up above your hand or else it also is scratchy and hurts just like that clip does. And I don't usually like to hold my pen down quite that close. I like to hold it further back. So we'll see how that plays out as I get the drawing done. So let's go ahead and get started on the drawing. I like drawing with ballpoint pens on drawing paper. This is Stonehenge drawing paper. It's soft so I can get that varied line. Sometimes if you're drawing on some other kind of papers you won't be able to get that. But you achieve that line by using less pressure on the pen just barely skipping over the surface and it'll give you that grayish looking line. And then to get the darker tones you just go back and forth with it. Not necessarily always the same direction. Even if the fur or the feathers or whatever you're drawing goes in a particular direction. I'll do something like a 30 degree angle and then a 32 degree angle and then a 34 degree angle so that the flow of the line stays going in the direction of the fur or the feathers. But that it keeps adding ink to it and filling in the gaps in between without looking too much like cross hatching because you can do cross hatching but it's just a little bit easier if you can go with light pressure and build up those gray tones little by little.  But once I get the really darks around the eye then I can go back in later and darken that bottom side of it and then get a lot of tone within tone. Now you might wonder why a person like me who has ridiculous amounts of hard supplies at my disposal why would I use a regular old ballpoint pen. I mean this is a fancy one it's not just a regular old one but why even bother. Well part of it is because I've seen other people do amazing work in ballpoint pen and I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could do it. But I also find that it's great for things like what I had going on this past couple weeks. I was summoned for two weeks of municipal jury duty in my town and I learned the first week that there's a lot of sitting around waiting when people arrive we have to get there early in the morning but then there's just a lot of checking everybody in and assigning numbers and blah blah blah before our dear starts and everything. So I decided on week two I would take with me a sketchbook and a pen and when you take a ballpoint pen with you you don't need a sharpener you don't need an eraser you don't need any other supplies you just need your pen and your paper and this was just much easier to take with me than something else would have been and it was more fun to do than sit on my phone. So I figured I would just work on a drawing I did the head first before I left the house saved those back of the back of the back like down below the head saved all that portion to do while I was sitting in jury duty and then finish up the rest at home so I could fill in the rest but I did not get on a jury on the second time fortunately but we still only had very few people show up for jury duty so I just want to commend everybody if you get a summons please go do your jury duty don't beg out of it it's really hard on the people who do end up showing up and trying to do our part in society it's really helpful if everybody did that and shared the load a little bit we had 300 people who got a summons and the judge said only 22 of us had showed up and we had two weeks worth so I almost would have gotten on a second trial there were people who were on the first trial who were also on the second they didn't get out of it and yeah not fair not fair but anyway back to the bird and creating all these wonderful darks and lights I love making anything that has to do with wood any kind of sticks and bark it's just fun it's very forgiving you don't have to make it look like anything it just needs to look like like a stick and you can do cool textures with it and everything just going back and forth with it with layers and layers and layers and then once I got it all finished I just kind of looked across to see if there's anything else that needed a little strengthening to add color to it I decided to add a wash of watercolor and these are water color sticks and it's basically watercolor in a stick format that all you have to do is touch a wet brush to it and it turns into paint and even though I'm working on drawing paper I did test out a little bit ahead of time it does make the paper warp a little but I tested the ink that's in the pen so I didn't end up having the pen ink run all over the place if you're going to try a ballpoint pen or any kind of pen with your wash and ink then make sure you test it ahead of time to make sure that you're not going to just like turn into a blob of black ballpoint pen ink but this one didn't move anywhere so I was safe to add colors so I picked two blues a light blue and a dark blue purple and a brown and just I wasn't trying to paint particular feathers I just painted the whole thing because that gave the bird the look of having that shimmer that crows can have in the sun and that gave me exactly the effect I was looking for so I was quite pleased with that and I was not as pleased however with this pen for 108 dollars I was expecting a lot more from it it did do a lot of skipping throughout the whole drawing I did a lot of scratching off on scratch paper to try to get it moving again and I also struggled with trying to figure out how to hold the pen so that I wasn't scratching my hand with the bolt or the clip that made it very uncomfortable for me because that's just not how I hold pens now some people you hold your pen all the way down at the the nib totally might be fine for you so I did enjoy my drawing though I thought this came out pretty cool in my sketchbook and if you're interested in more on the watercolor sticks there is a whole video including this butterfly that you can go check out in order to get a whole bunch of techniques that you can use those watercolor sticks for they are more versatile than you might think so I'll link to that in the doobly-doo that's about it for me I will see you again next time go out in the meantime and create something every day and I'll see you next week


A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and a hearty high old silver, the lone ranger. During the years of unrest that followed the Civil War, a powerful secret organization called the Legion of the Black Arrows sprang up in the western United States. Its members were to be found everywhere, defying the law or using the law for their own purposes, working toward the ultimate goal of revolt and the foundation of a despotic empire. It was the masked rider of the planes who led the fight against this band of outlaws and traitors. And for once, his great strength and courage, his daring and resourcefulness were taxed to the utmost in the cause of democracy. Return with us now to those thrilling days when the West was young. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of a great horse, Silver. The lone ranger rides again. Come on, Silver!  Come on, Silver! As the lone ranger, Tonto and Chief Thunder Cloud headed for Finger Mountain to find the magic belt and regain the leadership of the tribe for Thunder Cloud, they were unaware that the Black Arrow knew of their mission. The Chief was old and frequent stops were made to allow him to rest, but at last the broken ground of the Badlands gave way to the rolling, heavily wooded slopes at the foothills. It was on the third day of their journey. Just an hour before sunset, the masked man raised his arm and a signal to stop. We may camp here, Kimisabi. Thunder Cloud is not tired. Ride more tonight. I know, you came, Chief. If there's another trail, join this one just up ahead. I want Tonto to take a look at the tracks. Ah, you do it. You think that others ride this way? It's possible. Many trails come this far. Soon we find only one that lead on to Finger Mountain. Yes. Then we can be sure if anyone's ahead of us. Look. You look. He's found something. All right, Silver.  Thunder Cloud has made you travel slow. We've been making good time. You and Tonto go faster alone. You look here. How many horses were there? Maybe seven, eight. Indians? No. Come to find this piece of cloth and branch. White men ride this way. When were the tracks made? It many hours. I was afraid it might be. Black arrow? Let's hope not, Kimisabi. We know they'll do anything in their power to keep Thunder Clouds and becoming the chief of the tribe again. Ah, you have not told Thunder Cloud the meaning of the black arrow. We're only following orders, Chief, just as Tomahawk was when he persuaded the other braves to rebel against you. Thunder Cloud knows that white men gave him gold. They want a war, and you're the only one who can stop it. Not without the magic belt that glows in the dark. Get, Malatotto. We're riding on. Yes, Count. Ride all night. Man or two will give Thunder Cloud strength. We can't leave you behind because Cadota won't give the magic belt to Tonto or to me. That is true. Huh? Steady, Scout. Ride all night. Come on, Silver. Get him up, Scout. Miles to the west were only one trail threaded through the forest. Jim Blaine had built his log cabin in the middle of a clearing. He made a good living from his traps, and he and his wife had grown used to the loneliness of the great wilderness. But the sound of hoof beats in the trail, and the passing of a traveler was always a great event. It was just as they were finishing supper that Laura Blaine raised her head, a smile on her face. Jim, I think somebody's coming. Are you sure? Listen to yourself. Yep. Horses coming this way. Quick. The lantern's hanging by the door. Get it lit. I will, honey. And tonight we're going to stand right out on the trail so they can't miss the cabin. Wasn't that awful two weeks ago? You mean when that cowboy went on pass without stopping? What else would I be talking about? Of course. He might have been an outlaw. Maybe we were lucky. He couldn't have stole nothing but furs, and there's plenty more of them around. I'd give all we have to hear some news from outside. Well, they're getting close. This is fine right here. How many disposer are? Oh, five or six, maybe even more. I can see them. Wave the lantern. Hello there. They're raining up. Howdy, strangers. I'm Jim Blaine, and this is my wife. Good evening.  Maybe you'd like to stay the night. There's plenty of room in this doorhouse. It sounds good to me. We'll stop for food, that's all. We're ahead of the mask man and the chief. We gotta be. This is the only trail. We'll stop for food, that's all. You're the boss. All right, ma'am. Russell the grub. Off your horses, ma'am. The more the merrier, we sure like to have company. You? Yeah. Up with your hands. A gun? Yeah. Well, Laura, I guess you got the outlaw you was asking for. Tie him up, Turner. What's the idea? Do as I say. We may be ahead of the lone ranger, but we're going to use these two to delay him even more. Tie him up. A woman can wait until she's cooked our food. All right, come on. Must be a cabin. That's right. It's raining. There should be a light so late. Might be somebody asleep. Help. Mochka. Teddy sugar. Teddy Moist. Teddy Moist. You hear a call for help? Yes, under crowd. Help. Getting to be more certain than ever that they're ahead of us, Tutto. Are you the lone ranger? That's right. Teddy's rope, Tutto. I'll come to do it. What's happened? There was eight men. Outlaws. They stopped here and we tried to be friendly. We? Who's we? My wife and me. The leader pulled a gun. They tied me up. What did the leader look like? Oh, big and dark. Eyes like an eagle. I see. Go on. Well, they made Laura cook supper for him. Then they took her with them when they left.  And they didn't put out that light on the table. That was so you wouldn't miss the cabin. What? Sure. I know you're after them. They admitted it. I don't know. I don't know. You said they took your wife. They must have known we'd try to catch them more than ever. But they didn't take her far, mask man. Just out into the forest. They were going to tire up and leave her. Oh, that's plenty bad. You don't have to tell me. There's mountain lions and panthers and wildcats. I don't want to stop you. I want to see them crooks get what's coming to them. But maybe I won't be able to find her alone. Maybe even now. I don't can find their trail. He'll help me. There's no time to be lost. Deep in the forest, Laura Blaine struggled against the ropes that bounded her to the tree. But at last, her strength gave out and her head drooped. The blackness and silence of the night closed in around her. Hope was gone. They'll never find me. Never. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. I'll be there. A new strength flowed through her body. The fear was driven from her eyes. There was her name, all the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen. Then silence once again, but faintly, in the distance, almost hidden by the trees and yet moving closer. Closer. A light. It's Jim. I can see him. And that masked man beside him, a big alone ranger. Jim, I'm here. Oh, Jim, hurry, please. Suddenly she stopped short. The light from the torch had found a reflection in the tree above her head. Two great yellow eyes burned from the darkness. A wildcat. It's all right, honey. The masked man got him just as he was going to spring. Oh, then it's all over. Sure. I'll get rid of these ropes in a minute. Then go on. That way. We know where they're heading, Cutto. We won't have to follow the trail anymore. You get after Mask Man. We're all right now. Do you rather go back to the cabin and rest, Chief? No. We ride on. Ready, Cutto? Are you ready? Anadios. Get us out of here. The long ranger, Jim. The long ranger. How about it, boss? Are you sure that was Clearwater Canyon we just come through? I'm perfectly sure. Well, aren't you making a mistake now? Don't ask so many questions. Look, we're up above the canyon, sure. But we're heading east. I saw that big rock when we came through the opening. That's Sentinel Rock, Turner. Not the one we're looking for. What's more, I can see a teepee down the hollow ahead. Cadota? It must be. All right, man. Let's go. Get up there. Come on.  Your name, Cadota? Uh... I come from Chief's Thunder Cloud. Cadota, happy, welcome friend, a great warrior. Yeah. As a matter of fact, Thunder Cloud isn't a warrior. He used to be. Well, all men grow old. He's having a lot of trouble with his young braves. Oh, that bad. It's worse than that. If we can't do something for him, there's going to be an election of a new chief. Can't you guess why he sent me here? Cadota, not know that. He wants the belt. The magic belt that glows in the dark. Magic belt? Yeah, magic belt. Once he has that, there isn't an Indian in the west who won't obey him. You know where it is, don't you? And tell me, we want to get back to Thunder Cloud's village just as fast as we can. Cadota cannot tell. When Thunder Cloud gave him magic belt many years ago, he made Cadota swear by Manitou. I understand. You were to take care of it, hide it away. Never give belt anyone but Thunder Cloud. I told you that he sent us here. Cadota swear. This is a matter of life and death. They might even kill him. No. Thunder Cloud must come self get magic belt. I can't. It's a long way here. He's too old. No. You see this, Cadota? That gun. If you don't change your mind, I'm going to pull a trigger. Then secret magic belt die with Cadota. Just let me work on it for a few minutes, boss, and he'll be glad. You're going to leave this matter to me. What? What's the matter? I'm just looking at the back trails. What about it? Maybe nothing. I'm not sure. But I think you better take your glass look for yourself. Over here to the edge of the cliff. Keep an eye on that Indian. Sure.  Down below. I don't see anything. Not the opening of the canyon. Out far there. Way out the Mesa. Wild horses. There's some that ain't so wild. I miss my gears. One of the trail boys. You're right, Brayton. Is it them? Must be. They still have a long way to come before they reach the canyon. Then they'll have to go all the way through it to find the trail. Leads up here. They'll be passing directly below us. Good night, dear. This rock. A charge of blasting powder. A charge of blasting powder would send it crashing down to the bottom. You could see the opening just as they're passing through. This answers all our problems, Brayton. We'll get the magic belt and we'll get rid of the Lone Ranger. The curtain falls on the first act of our Lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story. Far out in the Mesa, the Lone Ranger, Tonto and Thunder Cloud had rained up. The Chief pointed to the rock high above the opening of the canyon. There is the rock they call Ascentano. Close by is the Tepe Tipi of Cadota. Our trail leads through the canyon. Do we have to go all the way through the canyon? That is the only way to reach the top of the cliff. The rock, Thunder Cloud. From here it seems to be balanced on a pin point. We are many miles away. The rock stands firm. As long as Thunder Cloud can remember it has stood so. Better we go on. Then there already may be. Cadota will not tell them where the magic belt is. He is sworn by Manitou. But his life may be in danger. That is true. Come on, Silver. Don't show yourself in the edge of the cliff. Keep behind the rock. We've got to pick the charge down on the canyon side. You be careful. Don't stand up. They won't be able to see you. It's almost set. Do you understand what we're doing, Cadota? Have you ever seen Blasting Pot of Work? We're going to send that rock to the bottom of the canyon. Close opening. Yeah. We're going to wait until those travelers out in the Mesa are right underneath.  Well, that's up to you. What you mean? You can save their lives by telling us where the magic belt is. Cadota never do that. But you don't know who they are. I want you to look through this spyglass. You'll be able to see their faces. Too far. This is white man's magic. Take the glass and look. That's it. Now what do you see? Two Indian, one white man with a mask. Look at the older Indian, Cadota. Don't you recognize him?  That thundercloud? Yeah. You come, Cadota. Say you friend thundercloud. Now you try to kill him. Nothing will stop us from setting off that charge if you don't tell us where the belt is. I swear by Manitou. What's more important, thundercloud's life is built. Thundercloud wanted I for Cadota break off. Would he want the Lone Ranger to die? What you mean? That's who the mask man is, the Lone Ranger. The best friend the Indians have gotten a west. Look again, Cadota. Make sure. That white horse he's riding silver. That's Tato on the paint. They're getting close now. Almost underneath the cliff. You can see them plainly, can't you? Lone Ranger. You're the only one who can save him. You haven't much time. It's all set, boss. You hear that? All we have to do is light the fuse. It's a few minutes and it'll be right underneath. Hurry up, Cadota. Make up your mind. You promised not hurt him. I promised. Now hurry up. By Manitou, you promised. By Manitou. Cadota tell. You've got to get it out before they reach the opening. And swear by Manitou that you'll tell the truth. Cadota swear. Out with it. Trail lead west. To Finger Mountain. That big peak we can see in the distance? You climb many ridge. Come to Black Gorge. Black Gorge. Is there any way to get across that? No. Trail go down to bottom. Up other side. Then what? Finger Mountain beyond. You climb high. Find Lone Pine. Waterfall there. Breaking rock. Hind waterfall. Go on. That's where magic belt is. Good work, boss. That's all we came for, Cadota. You're getting into the opening. Good. And let him have it. Huh? You promise. You'll break promise. Curse of Manitou fall on you. Sure. Just the way it's going to fall on you. Stand aside, boys. I like to fuse myself. The trail is rough here. We'll have to go slow. There are men on top of cliff. I saw them, Tonto. And a chute. A thousand feet up there. They wouldn't have much chance of hitting us. They might have set a guard on the trail ahead. We'll have to... Tonto, that was a blast. The rock. The rock falls. Quick thunder cloud. Red fill the hang of the cliff. It's our only chance.  Come on, Silver. Faster, boy. Faster. I got a handle to you, boys. Quick work. Not a sign of them down there. They're down a mountain of rock and gravel. We won't waste any more time here. Get mounted, men. Why not take it easy for a while? Plenty of work to be done as soon as we get the magic belt. Now hurry up. What about the engine? We're taking him with us. He can ride with you. Hear that, Cadota? Climb aboard. Follow me. Come on. Tollock and his men rode on toward finger mountain. Confident, the lone ranger, Tonto and thunder cloud had been killed by the falling rock and the avalanche that followed in its wake. But far below on the floor of the canyon, the overhang of the cliff had given them protection. And only chief thunder cloud had been hurt. It was a bad cut, Tonto. Now that we have it bandaged, I think you'll be all right. Ah, him not open eye yet. Look, he's stirring. Ah, Tonto look at chief's horse. Maybe him lame. No, Tonto. The horse wasn't even touched. Oh. There. We'll have to wait until his head clears. They should be able to ride again. Thunder cloud hears you. You'll be all right, thunder cloud. Ah, you get horses. Bring them here. We ride soon. Horse. Yeah, what's the matter? My horse is carrying double. He can't keep up this pace. And Lou and Eddie's. They're having a tough time over too. Rain up. Whoa, whoa. Can we rest for a little while? No. There's no need for all of us to go after the belt. See that grove of trees over there? Yeah. The most of the trail leads up from the canyon. Sure, there? Of course I'm sure. You and Eddie and Lou and Mike can make camp there. Hold the Indian in prison until we get back. It suits me. All right, the rest of you. Come on. Get up, man.  I sort of wish we'd made our camp out in the open. These trees are too thick. You're right, Tonto. Maybe it's just that inch of the singing that's getting on my nerves.  You, cut that out. Did you hear me? They cut it out. That's just a sample. You'll get a lot worse if you don't follow orders, Pronto.  What's that? You ate. You see. We aren't afraid of Manitou now that we got rid of the Lone Ranger and Thunder Cloud. Cadote, see him now. What are you talking about? Where? Spirit Lone Ranger. Thunder Cloud, come back. They'll make you pay for oath you break. Spirits, huh? Well, just as long as their bullets aren't made of lead, I guess we can put up with them. You hear that? Yeah. I heard it. That Thunder Cloud. Your local. In close now. Listen, that's enough of that talk, see? You're going to keep your face shut, or I'm going to fix it so you can't talk. Yeah, that's what I say. You heard him? Sure, all of us did, and we don't like it. Why don't we get rid of him? We got orders to hold him prisoner. Why should we? If we let him loose, he'll tell the engines we're after the belt. Nothing can stop Torlock now. You'll get it all right, but we've got to get back to the plains with it. No sense in fighting out of an engine ambush if we don't have to. There's other ways to keep this hombre from talking. You don't want to put a bullet through him. I'll take the job. Maybe the boss wants to use him for something else. We're fed up with that talk about spirits. It'll be bad enough to sit around here for two or three days without listening to the curse of Manitou and that local chant. I say shoot him.  Listen. You hear that? The boys are with me. Well, we say to Torlock. That's easy. He tried to get away and we had to shoot him. Listen. He said that was Thundercloud. Yeah. We'll all be as local as he is if we don't get rid of him. If I could only be sure. There's something wrong here. Thundercloud, close now. Put a bullet through that engine. If you don't, I will. He's a medicine man, you know. Maybe there is something in those spells they work. He's got it again. I'm not waiting any longer. I'll do it. Just stand aside. Go on.  Curse of Manitou is on you. It's Thundercloud near. From land to dead. Spirited Lone Ranger coming.  Use your gun. I am right now. Oh, my hand. Somebody shot the gun out of my hand. What the? Look, by the tree. The Lone Ranger. There's Thundercloud in town hall. It can't be. We saw him get killed. Up with your hands, all of you. It is. They've come back. Hurry up. He's come a tortoise. I'm sorry to disappoint, Cadota. We're not spirits. We mean business. Quick, time to get their guns. Uh, time to do it. Then tie them up. You couldn't have. Cadota. Him? Go after Magic Belt. Thundercloud, cut your ropes. Did you tell him where it was? Uh, Cadota, do that. Try, save your life. Then Torlach, break promise. You tell our Masked Brother now. Uh, ride for Finger Mountain. Cross Black Gorge. Find Waterfall near Lone Pine. Magic Belt and Rock behind Waterfall. Finger Mountain. The Waterfall near the Lone Pine. That shouldn't be hard to find. How long ago did Torlach leave? Maybe three, four hours. They have a big start on you. Look out, turn it away. Go for guns. Down on the ground. I'll show you. I wouldn't try it again, Turner. Leave your gun where it is. All right. You got me. Torlach and the others are climbing straight up from here. They'll hear those shots and they'll be waiting for you. Let's have a look at your wrist. Just as I thought. The Black Arrow. You'll never beat us. Thundercloud, I want you to stay here with Cadota and guard these men. It won't be a sheriff or a judge that sees to their punishment with the great white father himself. That's good. That's where they'll get you. It'll be Torlach that comes back, not you. He'll set us free. And we'll use that belt to rouse the injured. Ah, plenty big magic in belts. There's bigger magic in the Black Arrow. Just try to beat us. You can't win. I'll bring Silver Scout. You watch out. Plenty danger, Masked Man. We'll try to get to the waterfall before Torlach's thundercloud. Come on, Silver. Get him up, Scout. Oh, Silver! Away! Oh, Silver! Away!

Most of the things, apart from the spiritual process that I did, I never went through any training. I simply went and did it like I know it and it always worked to say things that people believe you cannot do. You know, there was a time when I was always on two wheels, four wheels, I looked at it with great disdain. I would never get into a car. Even if somebody asked me to come in their car, I said, no, tell me where I'll come on my motorcycle. Because getting into a four-wheeled vehicle was considered, I will do it when I'm on eighty-five. So, it was just beyond me, I could not get into a car. I said, I'm not going to get into a car. So, once it happened that we were driving to a wildlife century and I was on my motorcycle and this girl was driving this car with another four people. And none of those four people could drive and this girl got very sick and she got terrified because it's a wildlife century, she cannot drive. Then they don't know what to do. She says, I can't drive, I'm so too tired, I'm not feeling comfortable with all this forest, I cannot drive. Then I said, there was no other way, otherwise we have to wait and turn back. Then I said, okay, and I parked my motorcycle. I said, okay, I'll drive. I had never driven a car till that point. But right from my childhood, whether it's a bus or a car or whatever anybody is driving, I paid attention as to how it happens. I just sat down and drove ninety kilometers on a narrow track, narrow termic track to from, you know, like to Nagarhole which was a very narrow track at that time. I drove all the way and I parked the car there. Then I said, this is the first time I drove and never drove. And it's not as bad as I thought. I thought driving a car is for cripples. I thought motorcycle is the real thing. Car is for crippled people. It's like for handicapped people who cannot balance on two wheels. I said, it's not so bad. Then they said, what you never driven? I said, no, this is the first time I drove. How can you drive? Why can't I drive? I've seen people driving. Almost everything I've done is like this. I've never been to any training of any kind. It just takes a little attention. Every human being can do this, but they have a backlog in their head. They're carrying so many things of how it cannot happen.


But that's not true. The symptoms and brokenness that you've been feeling could very well be clinical depression. And if you relate to the signs about to be listed in the video, we suggest talking to a therapist. Because clinical depression actually requires professional help. We want to remind you that depression can be managed and you're not broken or flawed. Like what your depression is telling you. Here are six signs. You're going through depression, you're not broken. We also have a little treat for you at the end of this video. If you want to get more involved with us, stay tuned.  Sleep is one of the most important things we do daily or nightly. It helps with memory retention, helps our health, and allows us to recharge and refresh every day. The CDC recommends adults aged 18 to 60 get at least seven hours of sleep per day. When we sleep more or less than this, it can be a sign that we're running from and ignoring our thoughts and feelings. And this out of whack sleep cycle is your body's way of giving you a warning signal that something more is going on. Number two, drastic changes in your eating habits. Similar to number one, eating is a necessary thing to keep you alive and well. Over-eating is a common way some will numb their feelings and thoughts. Under-eating is also common. Sometimes depression can bring feelings of anxiety or even make you nauseous, so you may not want to eat at all. Either way, this is a huge red flag that something more is going on. Number three, you don't enjoy hobbies or hang out with friends. We all need a rest or mental health day here and there. It's healthy to pay attention to yourself to ensure you're keeping yourself in a good state of mind and body. However, it can be a problem if you've completely withdrawn yourself. Sometimes it may be as simple as going to school or work and immediately returning home. Sometimes it may be not partaking in hobbies. It can even be not leaving your room for days or weeks. This change of pace can be another warning sign of depression. Number four, you're angry or irritated a lot of the time. When you're in a low state and are forced to be around others, it can sometimes bring up other negative emotions like anger, irritability and agitation. Small inconveniences that you're usually able to shrug off or ignore might cause you to overreact or lash out. If you notice this is how most of your interactions are going these days, you may be going through something more. Number five, you talk and think about death a lot. It can start with the ever popular, I just want to die when something bad happens, but it escalates from there. It turns into thoughts and talking about death and slowly morphs into thoughts and talking about how you could end your life. This is commonly referred to as suicide ideation. This sign can be masked as dark humor. If a loved one is using jokes and sarcasm to mask depression or thoughts and feelings of death, this can be a silent cry for help. And there is always help. Please contact the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at<PHONE_NUMBER>. And number six, you feel aches and pains all over your body. Mental health issues can manifest as physical health issues. A 2010 study found that inflammation and a decrease in immune system function can be caused by depression. Inflammation can happen in your muscles and even in your digestive tract. Stomach pain, bloating and other gastrointestinal ailments can all be linked to depression. This is a huge distinction in figuring out if you're feeling broken because of a bad event or if you might be depressed. The brokenness that you're feeling is a lie that depression is telling you. So do you identify with any of these signs? Do you know anyone who does? If you do, please reach out to a loved one and a mental health professional to help explore your feelings. And do you have any stress-relieving tips? Let us know in the comments below. Alright, thanks for sticking with us till the very end.

Well, hello there. I'm Sandy Alnok and I'm going to be coloring some social media princesses today using MFT's new pre-princess stamp set. And I've stamped the three standing young ladies along with their carriage, wanted to use some Stonehenge cardstock in order to start my coloring with Prismacolor pencils. And I'll be floating the colors that I'm using above their heads if you're interested in what those color choices are. Notice that this little girl is using one color for the base and then another pinkish color for the shadows. This other girl is using a different colored base with the same colored pink shadow color. And the two girls come out with different skin tones. So you can mix and match your pencils to create different skin tones just by changing one of the colors in the combination. And I'm only using two in these, but you can use three colors. You can use all kinds of colors when you're doing your color pencil work. If you're interested in more on the human rainbow, the whole series and everything, over on my blog I have a whole page that collects all of my color pencil and Copic human rainbow stuff into one spot. So you can check that out. This little girl, the brown got too dark, so I added a lighter color, which is the base color for the girl on the left, on top of the brown and it lightened it. So the order that you put colors down makes a big difference because you can lighten something or darken something based on the order that you put it in. This is the place in which my card went a different direction than my expectation. So if you've watched many of my color pencil videos, you'll know that I generally use a much lighter touch. I like to layer colors and kind of let them let the under colors show through more, let them blend nicely and that sort of thing, but here I started using heavier pressure. I just got real excited about her hair getting nice and dark and started using like a four or five pressure. In my color pencil jump start class, we do an exercise in which you get to practice using a very light to a very dark pressure and decide which is right for you. This is exhausting. Your hand gets really tired by the time this whole thing was done. I was beating myself up for having gone down this road, but once I started, I kind of couldn't figure out how to stop. So there's that. But it's also okay to have something that's outside of your normal genre. This is not my normal kind of color pencil coloring because it's so heavy. Not that it's wrong by any means, but it's just different. I recently went on a tour of the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam and it was a virtual tour. So it was kind of fun to be able to visit Amsterdam during a pandemic without leaving my studio. I got to sit here and watch it on Zoom, which was fun. And one of the things that struck me in that little tour, not that I didn't know this already because I already know Van Gogh's work fairly well, is the difference in styles that he had. And they talked specifically about where he was and he had maps showing where he moved from one place to another. And that his style changed, his color choices changed, his paint application changed. And it made me realize that the times that I beat myself up, like I said on this, I'm coloring with a heavier pressure than I normally do. And I'm like, eh, should I refilm it? Should I start over? I gave myself permission to be Van Gogh here and to just do what I was doing and let it go. And the card came out fine and the end is just not my normal. And it was also exhausting for my hand because using this much pressure is a challenge for coloring this much stuff because I actually ended up doing a background too. Crazy, crazy. It's a choice I probably won't make all that much more in the future. I will know better because I will remember this experience, but it doesn't mean this is bad. It just means it's different than what I normally do. So if this is the way you color normally, that's okay too. Like all these, my social media princesses, because the colors that I chose to color them in are the colors of some of my favorite social media sites that I use. And yours may be the same, they may be different, but this is Facebook girl. You might notice that blue. I did give her a little bit more of a teal blue for the highlights on her little dress just because I wanted something a little bit different. And then added some white pen. Now white pen sometimes works over colored pencils, sometimes doesn't. It can be affected by the types of pencils that you use, the amount of layering that you use, and whether or not you use blending solution of some kind on it. I find that once I put some blending solution down, I don't get a very good grip from the white pen. So at the end, when I do the background, I wanted to put stars in the background and I will show you what I used in order to put the stars in there since the white pen didn't work. Instagram users might recognize the coloration on this young lady. I would love to have a gown that looks like this. She has a rainbow dress and I'm having to go back and forth between the different colors to get the rainbow effect to blend across the dress and using the colors in forward order and backward order in order to get that rainbow to happen. I'll catch up with her cape later on in the video, and yes I did catch up coloring her neck. I forgot that when I was coloring her skin tone in the first place. So if you were worried, have no fear. It got taken care of.  The third little girl is inspired by YouTube's colors, of course red, black, and white. And I've chosen a medium red and I'll add in a dark red for shadows and some white pen. Now you could use other social media for your inspiration for colors too. You can go make a TikTok girl and a, I don't know, a WhatsApp person. I just found out by the way that my mom is now on WhatsApp. Shocking to me, we just got her a brand new smartphone for Christmas and she is just having a blast learning how to work apps and things. And I just think that that's amazing and crazy and wild all the same time. So her cape, I wanted it to feel transparent so I colored it purple with a little bit of white over top of it. Then comes the carriage, which is Google's colors. They have a red, blue, yellow, so the primaries plus green. They throw in a green which throws the whole color scheme of the card off. I was trying to figure out where to use the green because there's no other green on this entire thing. So the green is going to stick out like a sore thumb so I wanted to find some places to put it where it would be present but not overbearing, I guess. So first got all of my primary colors in there and then just added the green to some of the smaller bits. I had the roof left and I was gonna make it all green and I realized that all green is too much so I just put a little green on either side and then blue in the middle to join it. I used a white pen to make more glassy looking windows. I'll add a couple of white pen lines to them as well as some white pen detail onto the roof to put the scrollies back in. And then I was faced with what to do with the rest of the card because I had, you know, my vision so far was to just have this much and it felt very plain. So I had it first establish that they're standing on the ground so I put shadows under them. That was a little darker of a gray than I would have liked so I put some white over top of it. Nice thing you can do with colored pencil. But then I realized that the little girl in the rainbow dress, her cape didn't show up as a transparent cape very well so I had the brilliant idea, okay, not so brilliant, of putting a night sky behind them. Like they're going to the ball and they're outside and it was going to be a purple at the bottom toward blue at the top. And since I'd already started with this heavy pressure then I guess I sort of needed to do heavy pressure on the sky in the background. If I had suddenly switched to doing a light pressure sky that might have been a little weird. So I proceeded for the longest time to color in my entire background. Do not do this. Just going to recommend that. Your hand will get very, very tired. And I sat there for the longest time trying to get this all nice and smooth, trying to figure out how to get the blend right. And it was not a fun process. This is my Van Gogh moment of trying something completely different. Van Gogh at least came out with paintings that were still hugely valuable. I'm not sure that I am achieving the same thing as he did. But nonetheless, I finally finished getting the coloring in there and then I cheated and went in with my blending stump and tried to get rid of all those little white spots so I could get a smoother blue background back here. The thing that that did to me though was make it so that my white pen would not work on top of all of the blending solution and fully blended color pencil. Now I have not done a full test of that to find out if the blending solution always causes the white pen not to work. I've just noticed that most of the time it does work and sometimes it doesn't. That might be the thing. So I had to come up with an alternate solution to make my star. So I got on some watercolor grounds from Daniel Smith. And I have the big jar, but it does come in smaller ones as well. I highly recommend the smaller one. It's taken me years to go through this bigger one. And I got a little teeny tiny brush. Doesn't have to be a good brush. And I'm just going to make little stars with that. And this actually works over a lot of different mediums. So if you're looking for something other than a Uniball Signo pen, because my Signo pens work well. Some people can't get one to work. This is a really good alternate.  So, Daniel Smith, watercolor grounds, thank you for saving my bacon. Well, this card may be my Van Gogh card that does not suit my normal style of color pencil, but it was still a fun process and I still learned a lot from it. And that makes it valuable in my book.

Hello, I'm Dr. Kristen Bush and I'm a colon and rectal surgeon with Mid-Michigan Health and a member of the Comprehensive Cancer Care Team. As a colon and rectal surgeon, I specialize in the diagnosis and medical and surgical treatments of disorders and diseases of the colon and rectum, anal canal, and perianal area. I strongly believe that patients can make the best decisions about their health and healthcare when they're well-informed. That's why I enjoy taking time with my patients to teach them about their disease and to explain the available treatment options to help them make an informed decision. In addition to performing colonoscopies, I specialize in treating and managing colon and rectal cancer, diverticular disease, colorectal polyps, inflammatory bowel disease, and fecal incontinence. Colon cancer is currently the third most common cause of cancer death in both women and men in the United States. That's why screening colonoscopies are so important for detecting polyps or cancers at an early stage. I am particularly interested in minimally invasive and robotic surgery for the treatment of colon and rectal cancer. Regardless of what condition I'm treating, the most rewarding aspect of my job is seeing my patients reach their full potential after treatment.
