text: There's a small park and a grove of trees sloping gently to the water on a narrow island in the Seine just northwest of Paris. Unremarkable perhaps, except that the island is known as Île de la Jatte and the peaceful spot is the setting for Georges Seurat's magnificent painting, "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of the Grande Jatte." It wasn't only Seurat who was drawn to the serene île: Claude Monet, Vincent Van Gogh and Alfred Sisley painted there as well. Of course, the place has changed a lot in the last 130 years; it now has about 4,000 inhabitants and looks a lot like any small French village. But a few years ago a walk, called "the circuit of the impressionists," was established around the island so art lovers can appreciate its unique and special history.

Against the backdrop of a Tanzanian woman student allegedly beaten up and stripped in Bengaluru, actress Sonam Kapoor has said the issues of racism and intolerance are not India-specific and are prevalent across the world.
Against the backdrop of a Tanzanian woman student allegedly beaten up and stripped in Bengaluru, actress Sonam Kapoor has said the issues of racism and intolerance are not India-specific and are prevalent across the world.
"Racism exists all over the world, it is not specific to India. But the reason education has always been my favourite category is because it is something which makes people aware and less ignorant.
"It makes people take decisions which are a little more thoughtful as opposed to behaving like hooligans and 'junglee'…," Sonam told reporters when asked if India had become racist and intolerant.
Criticising the recent incident involving the Tanzanian woman, the 30-year-old actress said she too has faced racism.
"It was a very badly done thing (referring to Bengaluru incident). I do not think racism and intolerance are specific to India. It's something that is across the globe. I don't think we should say only Indians are like that. I've faced racism in the world always," she said.
The "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" star was speaking at the L'Oreal Paris 'Women of Worth' awards nomination ceremony, in association with NDTV. The award will felicitate the achievements of ordinary women who have achieved extra ordinary success.
Sonam also said that the issue of pay disparity exists in Bollywood, and she has taken a conscious decision to work with people who will give the actress her worth.
"I do not work with people who do not respect me enough to give me my worth.
That's always been my stand. That's why I always work with directors and producers and companies which give me what I deserve and give me respect," she said.
"Otherwise I take a stand. But everybody does not have that luxury…I believe there is pay disparity. It's upto you whether you want to encourage that or not," she added.
The 'Women of Worth' award ceremony will be held on March 28, 2016, in Mumbai.

Inlays and onlays are used to restore strength and appearance to teeth that have been damaged by trauma or decay. Inlays and onlays are ideal for back teeth in instances where dental fillings would not provide sufficient restoration. They are also a more conservative option than dental crowns for the protection of teeth that have been worn down or otherwise compromised.
How inlays and onlays may be used as part of your dental treatment is best determined by one of our experienced Houston dentists.
If you live in the Houston area of Texas and would like to learn more about your restorative dentistry options, please contact Fantastic Smiles or call 832-862-1111 today to schedule an appointment with Dr. Jean Morency.
About Inlays and Onlays
Placed in between the cusps of teeth, inlays are used to restore the top area of a damaged or decayed tooth. Onlays are also placed on the top of a tooth but can extend between one or more cusps to restore those areas as well.
The inlays and onlays offered by our dentists are colored and shaped to fit seamlessly into your smile. This enables us to strengthen and protect your teeth while helping maintain their cosmetic appearance. At Fantastic Smiles, we understand how important the appearance of your smile is. That's why even our restorative dentistry treatments are geared toward creating aesthetic perfection.
What's Best for Your Smile
Our inlays and onlays may provide a better solution than dental fillings when placed on back teeth with larger cavities – all while offering the same benefits of metal-free restorations. During your appointment, we would be happy to discuss these restorations in more detail, answer any questions you may have, and help you determine if they are the best solution for your smile.
To schedule an appointment with one of our Top Houston dentists, please contact us today. We provide inlays, onlays, and other restorations to people living throughout Houston and surrounding Texas communities.

A few months ago, a special someone told me they were going to be traveling to Petaluma and asked if there was anything I would like them to get for me. As it so happens, one of my favorite beers is brewed in that area: Oyster Stout by HenHouse. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to get Oyster Stout in a bottle. Fortunately, the beer is available in a growler . :)
Wow, what an absolutely amazing and delicious gift! It didn't take more than a weekend to empty the growler and imbibe the glorious nectar. Having a growler from HenHouse Brewery, while being quite awesome, is also somewhat depressing. The growler was empty and it would be a long time before I had the opportunity to fill it again. Obviously I needed to do something to the bottle...
"lamp fever" seems to have infected me lately, so... uh... why not make a lamp?
Okie Dokie!
Cut the bottom off
Sometimes, the urge to make a vessel designed to hold liquids no longer have the ability to hold liquids is just too much for me to handle. Time and a little patience go a long way towards cleanly removing the bottom of a 64oz growler.
Put the cap back on
Everything was flipped upside down, and the cap was filled with a thick layer of J-B Weld. After the J-B Weld had cured, a hole was drilled through the center of the cap. J-B Weld cures quite hard. To make the drilling easier, a ceramic/glass bit used.
Fill the inside
Just to be on the safe side, some high temperature white paint was used to coat the inside of the growler bottle. Without paint, too much light passes through the glass. By diffusing the light with the light paint, the logo doesn't get over powered and will still be quite visible when the lamp is turned on.
Kits for a simple hanging lamp are about $18 at most hardware stores. The kits contains a socket with a pull switch, about 15 feet of cord, and some chain for hanging the lamp.
A bit of twisted copper and the original label that came on the growler were added to the pull switch.
Let there be light!
After hanging the lamp in the lamp testing spot by the dart board, the power switch was pulled. Hot damn, that logo looks nice!
All in all, this was quite a fun project, and a soon to be birthday present.
Now quite reading, and ...um... bring me some beer. :)

Nevion showcases journey to virtualization at NAB Show New York , 9-10 November
New products demonstrate ease of transition to IP for broadcasters
Last Updated: October 24, 2016 10:21 am GMT
(October 24, 2016)
, award-winning provider of virtual media production infrastructure, will showcase how broadcasters can continue the journey to virtualization, with a host of interoperability demonstrations and technology showcases at NAB Show New York.
In the spotlight will be the new
VideoIPath 5
software and
Nevion Virtuoso
, a revolutionary new software-driven media node platform, which is being shown for the first time in the US. Both solutions are designed to meet the emerging network and service management challenges in a world where the distinction between the facilities and contribution is blurring and where virtualization will play an increasing role. The solutions are therefore relevant for both broadcasters and service providers involved in IP production.
VideoIPath 5 is a major software upgrade in terms of architecture and functionality to enable an even higher level of scalability, responsiveness and ease of use. It also offers a raft of new features to enhance the monitoring of links, devices and services.
The new Nevion Virtuoso platform can be used to perform a variety of tasks, including compression and decompression, transport protection, monitoring, and signal processing, which can be changed on demand through software licensing. The initial release of the platform is focused on wide area network (WAN) functionality, such as contribution networks, with local area network (LAN) functionality for campus and in-facility being announced in the near future.
"As a broadcaster, whether you are looking for cost-efficiency, enhanced flexibility or maximizing productivity, we believe the transition from baseband to IP can revolutionize your workflow. As a company we're focused on working with our broadcast clients to provide them with the best IP-based solutions that will ultimately assist in increasing efficiencies whether that is working with them on the transition from baseband to IP, or implementing full IP solutions, in live production, or both in studio and remote," says Geir Bryn-Jensen, CEO, Nevion.
"We're keen to demonstrate this capability to the US market once again, and introduce broadcasters to the updates in our portfolio, as well as the brand new Virtuoso platform that will play a key role in their IP workflows."
Visit Nevion on booth 924 at NAB Show New York from 9-10 November for further information and a demo of the company's solutions for virtualized media production.

What diet types contribute to depression and anxiety?/
I am reluctant to write this post. I'm sure I'm going to make a few people mad. In last month's Connectors Meeting there were questions about how different diet types contribute to mental health concerns. When a person's diet choice restricts food categories, they can find over time that their diet is contributing to increased anxiety and depression. This is because a diet that limits food groups can lead to nutrient deficiencies if health metrics are not carefully monitored through diagnostic labs.
In this post I'll review some things to watch out for when eating significant amounts of highly processed foods, following vegetarian or vegan diets, and keto/paleo/Atikins types of diets.
Highly Processed Food Diets
Diets high in processed foods have been shown to increase depression and anxiety. These are diets with lots of white foods (bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, muffins, bagels, chips, sweets, fast food). With this diet, when I look at an individual's labs what I typically see are deficiencies in nutrients that help to synthesize dopamine and serotonin. Common deficiencies are protein, B vitamins, magnesium, zinc, omega 3, Vitamin D3, and fiber. Additionally, there is increased inflammation as indicated by elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels. Inflammation contributes to depression, fatigue, bipolar, cardiovascular disease, dementia, and diabetes, to name a few concerns. Dr. Felice Jacka provides a whole body of research about the impact of diet on mental health. Here is her seminal paper: Association of Western and traditional diets with depression and anxiety in women.
When I see vegetarians and vegans in my office, they tend to be very anxious individuals and the anxiety often leads to depression. I'm not saying that all vegetarians and vegans struggle with anxiety and depression. Rather, that individuals who are anxious and depressed and vegetarian tend to have higher levels of anxiety and depression due to nutrient deficiencies. Their anxiety is often caused by fluctuations in blood sugar levels because of the low carbohydrate to protein ratio in many of the foods they typically consume.
For example, let's consider a bean burger. Beans have some protein and some carbohydrates. The bread is all carbohydrates. So this bean burgers contain a lot of carbs and not a lot of protein
Clinically, I have seen anxiety decrease significantly when we assure that they are getting enough protein throughout the day (8 grams per 20 pounds of body weight or at least 65 grams divided throughout the day for anyone over 140 lbs.)
There is a large body of research that suggests vegetarians have better physical health then omnivores. Vegetarians tend to have lower body mass index and cardiovascular disease. However, an Australian study with 9113 participants indicated that vegetarians and vegans have more anxiety and depression then omnivores.
Here are two more studies that may be of interest:
Vegetarian diet and mental disorders: results from a representative community survey
Food and Nutrient Intake and Nutritional Status of Finnish Vegans and Non-Vegetarians
For vegetarians, the labs that I carefully look at are total protein, Omega 3, ferritin (iron stores), B vitamins, and Vitamin D3. In my client base, vegetarians and vegans tend to carry less muscle mass and more fat mass.
For vegans, I will also look to see what their primary sources of fats are. The addition of coconut milk and oil can help with fatigue caused by a lack of cholesterol in their diet; consuming enough cholesterol is important because it helps synthesize hormones.
I am going to make a "no duh" statement… But it's one we often forget: Weight does not determine health.
High-fat mass can impact health, but it's not everything. I'm far more concerned about an individual's ability to be self-compassionate, eat primarily health-sustaining foods, engage in some level of regular movement or exercise, sleep well, and have healthy labs.
I have seen a number of individuals who started on a keto diet (low carbohydrate with high protein and high fat) to lose weight. However, after the initiation phase of just meat and fat, they did not add fruits or veggies back into their diets for years. They explain that primary reason for staying with this phase is because adding back fruits and veggies caused them to gain back the weight they had lost. This is true, because when we do quick weight loss programs it's hard to not do quick weight gain as well. However, there are some serious health consequences not eating fruits and vegetables.
One of the consequences is that they became very low in B vitamins and Vitamin K. For women following this type of dietary restrictions, they started having heavy menses because their blood was not clotting well. This then also led to iron deficiency, which contributed to their story of depression/fatigue.
Check out these articles:
Intravenous iron for the treatment of fatigue in non-anemic, premenopausal women with low serum ferritin concentration
Dietary and supplement treatment of iron deficiency results in improvements in general health and fatigue in Australian women of childbearing age.
In conclusion
Diets that support physical health do not always support mental health. Diets that are low in nutrient dense foods can contribute to mental health concerns through presentation of depression/fatigue and hypoglycemia/anxiety. When someone is considering medications or has tried medicines without the expected positive impact, it's worth suggesting that they ask their primary care providers for a laboratory workup for fatigue. Going to a naturopathic physician, nutritionist, or acupuncturist to have their diet evaluated for deficiencies that could be contributing to their mental health status is also a good option.

Toronto residents will soon get the chance to give their input on a proposed casino, after the city's executive committee approved a series of public consultations on the controversial gambling and entertainment complex. Most trade and convention cities in Canada and North America have already allowed casinos nearby, including Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal, Halifax and even the latest convention town – Ajax.
Over the past decade, trade and consumer shows in Toronto have taken a hit. Trade shows have seen lower attendance, fewer exhibitors and even the cancellation or amalgamation of shows.
Will a new casino complex in the heart of Toronto revive the trade show industry? In our opinion, that depends upon the location. Here is the list of potential sites for the new casino:
Metro Toronto Convention Centre ( www.mtccc.com )
Oxford Properties Group recently announced its development project for a $3 billion casino complex. The project is still pending the support of council to be built in downtown Toronto. But this could likely be the frontrunner in the bid for a world renowned entertainment complex. The project would be fully funded by the private sector but built and operated by a group selected by the province.
The Metro Toronto Convention Centre would be revamped and expanded, bringing new life to this trade show venue. The new downtown casino centre would also host an addition 4,000 new parking spots. Its new location would allow for two residential and office towers across from it.
Exhibition Place ( www.explace.on.ca )
The barren, open space known for hosting the annual Canadian National Exhibition is devoid of crowds for the rest of the year. A casino opens temporarily for just over a month during the yearly CNE event, but aside from those operations, the land is relatively untouched.
With no immediate neighbourhood, this could be the perfect location for a casino to thrive. Empty convention centers could also host the proposed tourism hub of adjoining restaurants and bars. With the city owning the land, it could also generate direct income for Toronto.
Ontario Place ( www.ontarioplace.com )
This park is currently undergoing a facelift as the city attempts to revitalize the neglected site. Ontario Place, which was shut down this past February, is being transformed into "an innovative provincial landmark" according to its website.
The casino could potentially become part of this revitalization project, as an entertainment hub along the waterfront. However, Finance Minister Dwight Duncan said earlier this year that the site wasn't large enough to host such a large entertainment project.
Woodbine Racetrack ( www.woodbineentertainment.com )
The racetrack operators are eager to turn this location into a bustling casino entertainment hub. Its Etobicoke location means it is outside of the downtown core, but is a favourite among Toronto residents. According to a poll conducted by Woodbine Entertainment, it found 51% of the 500 residents surveyed supported a casino at Woodbine Racetrack.
The Portlands (www.tplc.ca )
This rumoured location, like Ontario Place, features a prime lakefront location. Large gambling giants like MGM have said that the building of a casino in the GTA is dependent on a waterfront location. But The Portlands is already seeking money to fund a major infrastructure project from city council to turn the derelict land into a bustling community.
Downsview Park ( www.downsviewpark.ca )
This proposed location has been mentioned as a potential site by some, but it is less popular than the other rumoured locations. The land, which is a federally owned former military base, doesn't have the key features of a downtown spot or waterfront views, but could provide the space needed for a large complex. The project would be fully funded by the private sector but built and operated by a group selected by the province.
So which location would give the best boost to Toronto's Trade Show industry? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Tom Hiddleston offers MTV News a little bit more on Loki and his souped-up costume. "It's more gangster" the actor observes. "If in 'Thor' he was an Asgardian prince, in 'The Avengers' he's an Asgardian pirate. It's evolved. It takes into account between the end of 'Thor' and the beginning of 'Avengers,' [that] he's been around." Meanwhile, Clark Gregg debriefs Crave Online with some disinformation. "I'm taking down the Skrull armada single-handed!" he announced before taking it back with, "I'm just kidding. 'Skrull armada single-handed...' No, they're Kree!" Of course, he also followed that with another "just kidding," but who knows what truths may have been utter in that moment.

Various sites, including Latino Review are quoting star Karl Urban about the possibility that Dredd will take off his mask. His words come from an interview in the print version of Total Film, in which he says, "I say this hypothetically. If I went to a movie called 'Judge Dredd' and the lead actor at one point took of his helmet so we could see his full face I would just puke in my popcorn because that's not Dredd. He is mysterious and enigmatic. We're doing it right, it's gonna be harder, grittier and above all faithful to the comic. It's gonna kick ass."
Release date: September 21st, 2012
According to Ain't It Cool News, the film will make its Blu-ray debut in December. I've been waiting for this since I bought a Blu-ray player.
Release date: December 13th, 2011
Over at the Comic Vine message board, user Red Hulk hears tell that his namesake will appear in the show. Quoting an email he received, he writes that "David Eick and Guillermo del Toro submitted a treatment that includes the development of the Red Hulk as a villain." Of course, we're playing a game of telephone with this one, so salt is required.
Airdate: TBA
AMC spoke with new executive producer Glen Mazzara about his take on the second season. "Our approach to our group of survivors when they reach Hershel's farm is that they are a plague unto themselves. Nothing goes right for Hershel once Rick and his band show up," he explains. "They make the zombie apocalypse look like kids in a candy story. What's interesting is that if this was a show solely about Hershel, Rick and his band would really be the antagonists. And that's been really surprising because every action that Rick and his band take is completely logical, but you'll certainly sympathize with Hershel." He also offered the following: "I am dying to meet the Governor."
Premieres: October 12th, 2011
With the town still waking up from Labor Day, the Reel winds a little slow this morning. I'm sure that won't last with "The Avengers" and "The Dark Knight Rises" still shooting. Meanwhile, if any of you in the great, wide Internet discover something awesome, disheartening, or just plain weird, let us know! Take credit, come up with a clever nickname, or go anonymous. The choice is yours. Fresh rumors and movie news every weekday morning. I am Erik Amaya, bracing for the future threat of the Joseph Gordon-Levitt/Robin rumor surfacing again.

What we love
- This charming colonial century old bungalow, set high up in the hills above Kandy, surrounded by lush green forest and vegetation, and offering stunning views of the compelling valley below, was originally a tea estate's manager's home. A couple from Britain took this over more than a decade ago and decided to turn this into a beautiful boutique property that feels much like a friend's country home!
- 8 unique bedrooms, nestled in the midst of soul-soothing tropical gardens, are spread out across the estate. The vintage main house has 3 bedrooms that retain some of the traditional elements with red oxide floors and period furniture while providing contemporary comforts to guests of the 21st century. Two of these rooms have a little annexe with a single bed - a good room choice for couples traveling with children. The bedrooms here open up to a charming sitting area where guests often mingle with one another towards the evening.
- The valley house, as the name suggests, boasts splendid views of the valley below from the spacious and indulgent verandah. It has generous bedrooms, contemporary in style and furnished in subtle hues - better suited for those who'd like to stay close to the swimming pool and a few steps from the communal spaces.
- The two independent garden cottages, each with a bedroom, sitting area and a fabulous balcony, enjoy their own peace and seclusion in a setting that's truly enchanting with dramatic views down to the valley and mountains beyond.
What to know
- Enjoy laid back meals at the alfresco dining area, tucked in the midst of tropical greens. For breakfast, choose from an array of fresh fruits, cereal, toast coupled with home-made jams. Cooked preparations are available as well and we do recommend sampling the famous Sri lankan dish - egg hopper served with coconut sambal or curry. Dinners are a delicious three course affair, starting with soup/ salad, followed by a choice of curry or non curry main course and ended just right with some scrumptious dessert - from sorbets to panacotta!
- Through the day, a choice of well made cocktails, gin and tonics, local alcoholic drinks are offered while after dinner, imported wine is served - all on the house!
- Afternoons are best spent lazying in the infinity edged pool soaking in the wilderness around or reading a book while on the lounger with a gin and tonic or local beverage by your side. And if you'd like to snap out of the sedentary vacation and pace things up a bit, take one of the mountain bikes available at the estate and go on one of the many suggested trails. You could also pay a game of tennis tennis or croquet!
- The staff strike the perfect balance of being hospitable yet non-intrusive. Should you need anything at all and if they're not within eyesight, all you have to do is tinkle and they'll be right at your service, warm, smiling and ready to help!

Mondo Drag "New Rituals" 2010 US Heavy Psych,Space,Stoner
full spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/album/3YD6nzho096Uf03kUJ7L5h
Mondo Drag on soundcloud
Mondo Drag facebook
It sounds like the five members of Iowa rock band Mondo Drag have spent a lot of time flipping through old LPs in local record stores, fishing out vinyl from late-'60s performers like the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Blue Cheer, then investigating how to replicate the guitar effects on those records. They may have worn out copies of the original Nuggets collection, too. The result on their debut album, New Rituals, is a set of tracks with the heavy feel of the hard rock of 1968. True to the eclecticism of that era, Mondo Drag throw in slower tempos here and there and even break out acoustic guitars for songs like "Come Through" and "Black River." But they don't necessarily stay with one tempo or set of chords throughout an entire track, sometimes shifting abruptly to something else, as when the slow closer "Tallest Tales" suddenly changes gears for a faster, harder coda to end the disc. One big difference between Mondo Drag's influences and their own performances is that the band de-emphasizes vocals, which, when they are there at all, are low in the mix and distorted. Large sections of New Rituals are instrumental, making this a psychedelic experience given over to guitar textures and spacy soundscapes….by William Ruhlmann…allmusic…~
From deep in the cosmos of Iowa, and from the same interstellar scene that gave you Radio Moscow, comes Mondo Drag, orbiting the planet's garage, psych, space, sludge and stoner rock. With a wall of sound all their own, an arsenal of guitars, and a head full of clouds, they are on a rock n'roll mission.
Formed by Johnnie Cluney (drums/vocals), Nolan Girard (rhythm guitar/vocals), John Gomino (keyboards/saxophone), Dennis Hockaday (bass), and Jake Sheley (lead guitar) the band is flying head-first into the future, while channeling artists from the past; Pink Floyd, Pentagram, Blue Cheer, even Hendrix are part of their musical lexicon, while Sonic Youth, Dead Meadow, and Comets on Fire hint to their current references.
The band has been playing with artists such as Sleepy Sun, Dead Meadow, Witchcraft, Black Diamond Heavies, Radio Moscow, Jennifer Gentle, The Dodos, La Octracina, Cass McCombs, Cave, Awesome Color, Monotonix, to name just a few. "New Rituals," Mondo Drag's debut for Alive, is an album about life, death, love, revenge, and the unknown. Especially the unknown…..~
Mondo Drag came out of nowhere for me, I discovered them because they were recently added to Roadburn and I read a lot of positive things. "New Rituals" has become a favorite from the first listen and probably will be for most fans of psychedelic rock. The album begins with the title track. The intro is really spacey, slowly gaining focus until it explodes into this sun drenched surf rock stomp with awesome keys. The vocals are very smooth but the real focus is on the music. Expect a lot of interstellar jams throughout.
"Fade Out (Into Space)" hits you immediately with a powerful groove and soaring vocals. This is definitely one of the best shorter tracks on the record and has great energy that dissipates in a slow feedback drenched solo. It's easy to see the band's influences run deep into the 60's and 70's haze of Cream, Pink Floyd, Blue Cheer and Hendrix. Speaking of Floyd, "Serpent Shake" and "Love Me (Like a stranger)" makes use of the organ in all the right ways. You couldn't really ask for better production, it still feels very 60s/70s but without sacrificing any quality. "Come On Through" has a trippy blues vibe going on, it's very catchy.
Mondo Drag has a lot in common with some of the new wave of psychedelic bands, both from the stoner rock side and the shoegaze side of it. Bands like Dead Meadow have a lot in common here and I'm sure some of that comes from the two bands touring together. Mondo Drag more of a diverse sound than many of their peers and they really layer the instruments well. While their sound is easily classified under psychedelic rock, there is a larger range of sounds covered here than the average band in this style. The vocals compliment the sound well and never overpower the music. The only downside to some would be the difficulty had making out the words over the fuzz.
"Black River" is a beautiful instrumental, the acoustic guitar, light keys and flute mesh together to create a really beautiful soundscape. Basically, the whole album is pure psychedelic joy and I see this getting heavy rotation as spring comes along. I know it has only begun but far as 2010 is concerned, this is my top album. This album is highly recommended to anybody with a taste for rock music in general…..by Bleekill…sputnik….~
Neo-psychedelic rock band Mondo Drag were formed in Davenport, Iowa, by Johnnie Cluney (drums/vocals), Nolan Girard (rhythm guitar/vocals), John Gomino (keyboards/saxophone), Dennis Hockaday (bass), and Jake Sheley (lead guitar). The group released its debut album, New Rituals, on Alive Naturalsound Records on January 26, 2010. Their equally trippy, seven-track follow-up features Zack Anderson on bass and Cory Berry on drums, both former members of Radio Moscow. A third rhythm section of bassist Andrew O'Neil and drummer Ventura Garcia joined the band after Mondo Drag was recorded and they relocated to Oakland, California. The album was released on Kozmik Artifactz in the spring of 2015. ~ William Ruhlmann & Marcy Donelson…..~
Hailing from the psychedelic hotbed of, uh, Davenport, Iowa, this stomping five-piece recalls the days when dinosaurs ruled the earth… namely the mid-'70s, when Led Zeppelin crossed bombast, prog, and cherry-picked mythology to conjure up epics like "Achilles' Last Stand". So yes, Mondo Drag boldly goes where many others have gone before on the ironically-titled New Rituals, but the band pulls it off with aplomb, as well as with the requisite saxophones and keyboards, from the swaggering, start-stop rhythms of "Light as a Feather" to the jazzy Deep Purplisms of "Fade Out", the glam boogie of "Serpent Shake" and the pastoral "Black River". While some songs are little more than excuses to jam for five-plus minutes (viz., "The Apple"), the band – led by lead guitarist Jake Sheley and bassist Dennis Hockaday – can really bring it, and rarely devolve into stoner rock drudgery/wankery. Mondo Drag may be dwelling in the genre ghetto of '70s psych/hard rock revivalism, but damned if they don't do it well….by…STEPHEN HAAG…pop matters….~
Trip out with Mondo Drag! From deep in the cosmos of Iowa, this psychedelic outfit has created a strange brew of garage, psych, space, sludge and stoner rock. "New Rituals," their debut for Alive, is an incursion into extended psychedelic blues guitar jams and haunting vocals over heavy, steady bass lines and thumping percussion. Mondo Drag has shared the stage with bands such as Witchcraft, Dead Meadow, Pentagram, and Radio Moscow, to name just a few. "They rock. Most songs clock in at over 6 minutes, yet you don't notice the time go by because they seem to take that long just to rev up. Each song stretches, cries, screams, and tears itself apart." - Berkeley Place…..~
Hailing from Iowa, somewhere in the middle of the USA comes Mondo Drag, a psychedelic rock outfit and their freshly released LP, New Rituals.
The album begins with the nine minute long title track 'New Ritual', encapsulating all the different appeals this band presents in their music. With moments of choppy punk rock-like vocals, a mix of sharp, distorted and windy psychedelic guitar work and an enthusiastic keyboard melody thrown in for good measure, this opener shows what Mondo Drag are all about. Following is the bass-heavy 'Fade Out (Into Space)'. Evoking Black Sabbath, it's a short but catchy tune; a good rock and roll song.
'True Visions' slows down the tempo and drawls out from the speakers, vocals echoing out and around the intricate yet fuzzed-out guitar, before flawlessly falling into 'My, Oh My'. 'Love Me (Like a Stranger)' is a lamenting love song with the same mellow feeling as Dead Meadow, but you can feel something crawling underneath it all.
'Lights as a Feather' begins with a guitar riff straight out of Mr Hendrix's own book, as much as it pains me to make such an easy and lazy comparison, though then floats into a trippy keyboard jam of bizarre space-like noises. 'Black River', my personal favourite from the album, pulls out the acoustic guitar for some fast-paced flamenco-esque action, before the seven minute long epic 'Apple' rounding it all together with a Darker My Love reminiscent rock song laced with a pop sensibility to leave a lasting impression and one last elongated smokey dream-sequence to walk out of.
Mondo Drag's New Ritual brings together spacious 1970's jams with a punk rock aggression, giving it a contemporary appeal. The 11 tracks together create a harsh but romantic landscape that I can only imagine would take on even more life when witnessed live….by….Alexandra Duguid…~
I'm sure a lot of folks consider California to be the physical and spiritual home of psychedelic rock, but let's face it: often the best mind-trippers come from places with no glittering array of city lights, stars (of every type) and constant activity to distract them. Take, for example, MONDO DRAG, an acid-fried quintet that hails from the deepest Midwest – specifically Davenport, Iowa. The band displays the usual plumage on New Rituals – distortion and feedback, hazy melodies, a dreamlike atmosphere, acoustic ephemera. But despite treading well-worn ground, the Draggers make it sound fresh, rather than hackneyed – likely the virtue of having no scene to get lost in. Muscular and melodic, Mondo Drag kicks out the new/old jams….by Michael Toland….~

*Please note that this recipe serves 4-6 people.
- 250g of macaroni (I used elbow macaroni because that's my favorite for mac and cheese)
- A tablespoon of salt
- Water (I used pre-boiled water because I am paranoid, but I'm guessing tap water is fine too, since it'll boil anyway)
- 200ml cooking cream
- Around 300g of your favorite cheeses, shredded (I combined two types of cheddar cheeses – one has an earthy, tangy flavor, and the other has a strong, sharp cheddar flavor)
|These are my combination of ingredients for the cheese sauch.
- Shredder (to shred the cheese, if it's not pre-shredded)
- Small bowl or plate (to put the cheese in, if it's not pre-shredded in a bag)
- Wooden spoon (to mix it all up)
- Confidence (to ensure no regrets)
- TEFAL RK704E Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker (to cook everything in – seriously!)
The Macaroni
Mix the macaroni, water, and salt in the rice cooker. This is how I figured out how much water to use: I measured the macaroni to one knuckle, and made sure the water was one knuckle on top of that. Does that make sense? LOL. I want to say something fancy like, "use a 1:1 ratio to figure out how much water to put in" but I didn't know if that would be right.
Anyway, this was TOO MUCH water. I am the worst recipe-writer ever. If you're reading this while actually making this recipe, please take out a "half-knuckle" amount of water. Now the water should juuuuust cover the top of the macaroni completely. Ok, so moving on…
|Too much water la dey.
Anyway, if all you're cooking is rice, you can choose the texture you'd like for the rice. Soft, hard, normal? Up to you! I like a normal basmati rice, whereas my dad loves a soft jasmine rice – it's all a matter of personal preference.
|Beep beep! So canggih waaaan.
The Cheese
|Oh, cheese...yummmm...As you can see, I shredded the block of Mainland cheese.
Set the cooker to "keep warm" till the cheese mixture is mixed through.
Et voila! The mac and cheese is done!
Mac and Cheese, My Way
I like to eat my mac and cheese with deep fried chicken. That's right, this Malaysian gal eats her mac and cheese Southern style! To spice things up, I add a dash of Tabasco too. This is my favorite comfort food for sure. The funny (slash sad) thing is, my kids don't eat mac and cheese at all. So since I can only make small batches, I usually either do boxed mac and cheese (depressing) or cook the whole thing on the stove top from scratch (so much effort!).
|The plating so cantik right? Actually, in reality there is about three times this serving on my plate each time, so please don't tertipu ya hahahaha.
One thing to note: while it is certainly easier to make this mac and cheese recipe compared to doing it on the stove, it actually takes longer. Usually, on a stove top, it takes me 20 minutes max. Doing it in the rice cooker took about 40mins. Daniel says it's like cooking in a slow cooker, and that's probably a good way of looking at it. It sure takes longer but it is also so much richer and tastier! This is honestly the best-tasting mac and cheese I've ever had k, no lie.
I'm already looking for other recipes I can try to make in my TEFAL RK704E Fuzzy Logic Rice Cooker. Any suggestions? I'm an adventurous cook (and an even more adventurous eater!) so throw some wild recipes my way!

Nintendo Has Become My Comfort Food of Video Games
Nintendo has never been number one on my must have gaming console list. I have been a SEGA man since the Master System days, then an Xbox guy after the Dreamcast faded away. But recently with all the bickering between XB1 and PS4 fanboys about resolution of games, graphics and game length, I have found myself playing less. Maybe I was just reading too much social media or maybe I hit the Destiny bottle too hard. But for whatever reason I wasn't having that much fun, I was just going through the motions. But that changed last month when I picked up the New 3DS XL.
I have owned a DS whatever since they first launched. First it was the original DS, then when the DSI launched, I upgraded and it was the same when the 3DS launched. I liked my 3DS but the system was just too small for me to enjoy. Not just the screen but with very large hands, it was not comfortable for me to hold. When the 3DS XL first launched I thought I would upgrade, but every time I decided on a color another special edition came out, then another and another. So my 3DS sat and got played once in a blue moon. When the 2DS's launched, my wife bought one for herself and I used mine a little more because we would play games together. When the New 3DS was announced I had decided I would upgrade when the XL versions came out. Lucky for me here in the US it was the only version to come out. Since I have had the console I play it every day. I'm loving games like New Super Mario Bros and Pokémon. I now can get more enjoyment out of the system because it's more comfortable for me to hold and I can see the screen better but it's not just that. I have more fun playing it then I have had playing my PS4. Plus, wife time and playing games together? That's a win.
I have had so much fun on the 3DS I went out and bought a Wii U and you know what? I am having fun on that too. I'm not shooting aliens, robbing banks or fighting a war. I'm collecting coins, enjoying remixes of games from when I was a kid and other fun games. I was playing the Wii U the other night and it hit me, Nintendo has become video game comfort food to me. You don't hear people bickering of buggy games, lack of content, video resolution or connection issues with Nintendo games. You just hear about people having fun. That's what being a gamer is all about. It's not your kill death ratio or how many hours it took you to play whatever, it's did you have fun. I have logged almost 400 hours in Destiny since launch. That's a lot. Did I have fun? Sure, but I never felt satisfied. Like most MMO style games, there is always something more for you to level up or try and find. It also has to do with the guys and gals you play with that adds to the fun. But even with games like The Order, I did enjoy but was not satisfied with the game and wanted more. I find with Nintendo games even with short half hour play sessions I have fun, feel relaxed and enjoyed myself. This is also why I have been an avid retro game collector. Classic games give me that feeling of fun and enjoyment that I first got when I was just a young gamer.
People (even me) have said that Nintendo has lost their way. They don't know what the modern gamer wants anymore and they are out of touch with their audience. But are they really? In the day when Nintendo was king and Sega was trying to get into the video game market with flashy system add-on's and games for a more "mature" crowd, Nintendo did what they always did. They made good games that were fun, and in the end they came out just fine. They will this gen too. With embracing the mobile platform and making a unified ecosystem, I see great things for Nintendo in the next few years. So if you are feeling like I was: tired of all the graphics this, short games that, maybe you are just getting burned out on newer games right now. Fire up a Nintendo system, it may just make you smile and have fun again.

Ali lived in Habibya, it's considered as a part of the Sadr city. On Friday the 14th at 11:30pm Baghdad time, Iraqi National Guard forces raided the street where Ali's house is, one of the neighbors heard a gun firing after 15 minutes from the arrival of the Iraqi National Guard convoy to the street, the force left at 3:00am. His neighbors kept calling Ali's phone and it was switched off all the time, so they called his cousin Amar because he lives one block away from where Ali lives.
Amar arrived in Ali's house and found Ali shoot dead in the living room, Amar called the Iraqi Police and told them the story as he heard it from Ali's neighbors. At 8:30 am Baghdad time the Iraqi Police took Ali's body to the morgue, his two uncles received the body at 10:00am and they headed to Najaf to bury him.
Amar said the neighbor who lives in the front of his house was shot dead too during that raid, the guy's name is Hussein and he is 26 years old. He was in his place along with his brother and nephew. The brother and the nephew disappeared after the convoy left.
The morgue report says that Ali took 31 bullets between the chest and the head and died immediately. He will be missed and remembered. His two brothers were killed in the Firdos Square bombing in 2005. He is survived by his mother and sister. As written above, we are collecting donations for his family via Paypal and mail at smallworldnews (at) gmail.com No amount is too small, and anything will be appreciated.

In the Appeals Chamber's view, the Prosecution's submission that the Trial Chamber erroneously mitigated Rasic's sentence by partially suspending it on the basis of her health condition[1] is misguided as it relies again on a conflation of suspension and mitigation. The Trial Chamber considered that the effect that detention could have on Rašić's psychological well-being did not constitute a mitigating factor.[2] It held, however, that this constituted a relevant consideration, among others, to partially suspend "the execution of the sentence".[3] Regardless of whether Rašić will serve the remainder of eight months in detention, her sentence of 12 months' imprisonment remains unaffected. Therefore, the partial suspension of Rašić's sentence by the Trial Chamber [4] does not equate to a reduction of her sentence, and the Prosecution's submission in this respect is dismissed.
[1] See Prosecution Appeal Brief [Prosecution Appeal Brief, 16 March 2012 (public with confidential annex)], para. 14. The Appeals Chamber is satisfied that, contrary to Rašić's assertion, the Prosecution explicitly opposed at trial her argument that "her detention resemble[d] a de facto solitary confinement". See Prosecutor v. Jelena Rašić, Case No. IT-98-32/1-R77.2, Prosecution Response to Urgent Motion for Provisional Release, 27 October 2010 (confidential), para. 2, referring to Prosecutor v. Jelena Rašić, Case No. It-98-32/1-R77.2, Urgent Motion for Provisional Release, 26 October 2012 (confidential) ("26 October 2010 Provisional Release Motion"), paras 16-18. Thus, Rašić's argument that the Prosecution has waived its right to object to the qualification of her detention conditions as quasi-solitary is dismissed.
[2] Sentencing Judgement [Written Reasons for Oral Sentencing Judgement, 6 March 2012], para. 30.
[3] Sentencing Judgement, paras 30-31. The Appeals Chamber notes that the Trial Chamber's reference to "the execution of the sentence" is misleading, as the execution of a sentence lies within the authority of the President and the enforcing state. However, the Appeals Chamber finds that this reference does not constitute an error of law, as the Trial Chamber's partial suspension of Rašić's sentence did not infringe the authority of the President and the enforcing state in this respect, as the suspended sentence was an integral part of its judicial discretion in the determination of Rašić's sentence (see supra paras 17-18).
[4] T. 72-73 (7 February 2012); Sentencing Judgement, para. 31.

This railway line between Revillo and Strandburg was abandoned by the Chicago and North Western Railroad in 1968.

I have seen this abandonment first hand as a child visiting my Grandfathers birthplace in Revillo. The old right of way was visible near some grain silos in 1990. From maps i've seen this was originaly owned by Minneapolis & St. Louis. The Great Northern also had tracks just north of town.

Originally from Iowa. I remember seeing this line being abandoned in 1974. The telephone poles and wires were still in place but the roadbed was graded and there were RR ties sticking up through the grade at odd angles. Part of the slaughter that was M&SL trackage that was abandoned by the C&NW after the merger in 1960.

Matt and I headed to Roosevelt Island for a meeting yesterday and decided to take photos there for a change of scenery. "The Island", as our colleague who lives there calls it, is a very strange place. Located in the East River between Manhattan and Queens, it's only accessible by one subway line (the F train) and the Roosevelt Island Tramway. I haven't taken the tram there yet, but it seems like it might be fun. It's also home to multiple hospitals, including an old abandoned small pox hospital. You didn't hear it from me, but it's actually really fun to find your way through the fence and explore the ruins. Just look out for falling bits of building!

- Who We Are
- What We Do
- What We Care About
- What You Can Do
Maria Walker is grateful for the support she was given to turn her life around and now takes time to give back to the community.
Born in 1960 in Puerto Rico to a family with 12 children, Maria didn't have an easy childhood. At 12 her stepfather tried to sexually abuse her. By 13, he kicked her out of the family. With no place to call home and no family guidance, she soon became pregnant and worked as a dancer to survive.
At age 21, Maria moved to the United States to live with her aunt, but that ended quickly. Shortly thereafter, Maria entered into an abusive relationship that lasted 11 years. During this time, Maria discovered that she had contracted HIV from intravenous drug use.
After learning that her mother was living in New Haven, Maria decided to move there in the hopes of starting fresh. But with no income to support her, the cycle continued – for the next 10 years she sold drugs and was in and out of jail. After completing a 1.5 year sentence, she pledged to change her life and stay away from drugs and out of jail. But to make that happen, she needed something that had been missing from her life: support.
Support came in the form of transitional housing through McKinney House in Stamford, a two-year program designed for people living with HIV. McKinney House provided Maria with safety, stability and a sense of community, but was a temporary program.
Maria found the permanency she needed through the Pilots program at Family & Children's Agency of Norwalk. Maria secured a spot in their Next Steps Supportive Housing Program, which includes support services and a permanent residence.
Maria now leads a Danbury support group for people with HIV/AIDS and volunteered for the 2011 Point-in-Time count homeless census. When she's not doing support work, she advocates on behalf of others living with HIV/AIDS, giving educational presentations about the realities of HIV.
She's thriving in the first apartment she has ever called her own.
Even though it took me a lot of struggle through addiction and jail, I'm happy to be where I am.
Maria credits the support she received from her case manager and the staff at Family & Children's Agency for her recovery and success. "I thank God that they've stayed with me from start to finish."
Maria has been clean for 7 years and her HIV is undetectable. Permanent supportive housing has helped Maria to rebuild her life, gain access to employment, stabilize her health and reconnect to her community.
Helping Maria end her homelessness and get back on her feet through supportive housing wasn't just the right thing to do; it was also the most cost effective solution to ending her homelessness.
The year after Maria exited jail for the last time, she utilized a number of institutional services, including:
Over the course of the year, these institutional services cost over $30,000 – with some of the programs/services billed at close to $100/day.
Supportive housing costs far less – approximately $19,500 over a year – and the outcomes are unparalleled.
Supportive housing combines affordable apartments with on-site or visiting support and employment services. A cost-effective solution for people with disabilities, mental illness, addiction and other issues, supportive housing provides its tenants with the support they need to stay housed and out of shelters, prisons, hospitals and other institutions.
Through supportive housing, Maria has a safe and affordable place to call home and receives the support she needs. She no longer utilizes costly services now that she has this support.
Over the past year she has attended a weekly substance out-patient support group and used the emergency room once – nothing more.

A Cody-centric Total Drama fanfic by Baconsandwichman. It tells the story of a 4th season where all 24 contestants are competing around the world, but traveling not in a plane, but in three boats.
This fanfic provides examples of:
- Arc Words: "Think of her first."
- Black and Gray Morality: Cody notes that even if Gwen and he could never happened, he'd be perfectly content to see her back with Trent. He knows that while Trent's tendencies seen on TDA leave something to be desired, he'd show Gwen the same love and affection Cody would, and not take her for granted like Duncan does.
- Didn't See That Coming: Even Alejandro was surprised when Cody voted himself out rather than vote for any of the girls after the Japan challenge.
- Dogged Nice Guy:
- Ezekiel continues to seek Heather's forgiveness for his losing her million dollars from the previous season, even after being knocked around and eliminated, earning advantages for her team and being her only supporter in the final challenge.
- Cody never once blames Gwen for any of the acts she committed with Duncan and remains loyal to a fault.
- Cody also does his best to keep Courtney's spirits up while she deals with the aftermath of Duncan cheating on her and being ostracized by the others for her Type-A attitude, all despite Courtney seemingly deriding him at every turn.
- Humiliation Conga: Flushed down the Alcatraz sewer line, crapped on by wild animals, cold-cocked by an injured Cody, and flinging yourself off a hotel roof into a dumpster. Poor Al.
- I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me: Inverted when it comes to Cody and Heather; he's completely oblivious to her advances, i.e. Taking care of his bird, getting him to bulk up, letting him take leadership, until she pretty much screams the fact that she likes him during their date in Tokyo.
- I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: The reason Owen approves of Izzy hooking up with Noah, and played with when Cody confesses that he can't choose one girl over the others, remembering what Trent told him, "Think of her first", knowing that no matter who he chose, there would be 4 disappointed girls. It's that understanding that convinces Cody to vote himself off.
- Jerkass: Duncan. Guy didn't even bat an eyelash at Gwen breaking up with him over how she lost her friends and respect because of their manipulations and ignoring the unhealthiness of her relationship with the punk.
- Manipulative Bastard: Duncan, at the beginning of the season, anyway, but Alejandro takes the cake, pulling strings and bribing his way through people to get back at Noah after being eliminated, get back on the show, and win a challenge or two.
- No-Holds-Barred Beatdown: Alejandro to Cody. Even Chris is disgusted by it.
- Oh, Crap!: Turns out to be a literal one for Alejandro during the Alcatraz challenge when Heather's manipulations send him on a one-way trip through the prison's sewer line. and then having the animals take a quick potty break...
- Only in It for the Money: The reason Justin betrayed Noah and had him eliminated, as well as how Alejandro "won" the raffle to re-enter the contest and convinced Chef to help him beat out the girls in the Japanese Souvenir challenge. Justin's apparent reasoning is that, while $1,000 certainly isn't as much as $5 million, at least it's guaranteed.
- Running Gag: Duncan pretty much Lampshaded the notion that every time his team won they'd get a gift like a gumball machine or a dart board that's "crap" compared to a swimming pool or a furnace. Another would be the Japanese salaryman who's a big fan of Total Drama's candy fish tail commercial and, to Alejandro's great chagrin, won't stop popping up to offer ideas for it.
- Sanity Slippage: After his breakup with Bridgette, Geoff pretty much went from stone cold, geek-seeking psycho up to his elimination to a "BridgeBridgetteBridgetteBridge!" mumbling mental mess on the Aftermath.
- Sarcasm ModeNoah: Yeah, give a sociopath some explosives. No harm can come from that.
- Satellite Love Interest: The focal point of Cody's "The Reason You Suck" speech to Gwen in the Dracula challenge is that she is becoming a mere satellite to Duncan:Cody: Gwen, make no mistake, I am grateful you at least you think of me as a friend despite my feeling for you, but I HATE Duncan! Whatever you see in him, I cannot. To me he is a total jackass who makes off on the expense of others. He shows no remorse to the people he hurts and for you to tell me that I have to forcefully align and cope with my most hated adversary being with the girl I would take a bullet and then some for? No that is too much to ask, even from you...
Gwen: Even you are against me being with him?
Cody: In the end it's your decision, but riddle me this, what do you like about him that doesn't involve shallow outer attraction?"
Gwen: He and I share the same interests! We like the same movies, music, style...
Cody: ...do other interests include pulling pranks on others, bullying the weak, arson, and theft? What about all your other interests GWEN? What about your drawings? Have you once made a sketch since dating him? What about the environment? Have you once even mentioned it since going out with him? And what about the rest of your friends? From Courtney to DJ you always caved in to Duncan on giving everyone else the cold shoulder! I am not saying this just so you would go out with me! Because I know damn well that telling you this here and now probably blows all chances of future consideration. But I know for one thing that you were never like this when you were with Trent! I am telling you this because I bottled it inside me since Greece! DUNCAN IS WRONG FOR YOU!
- Taking the Bullet: Happens in the pirate challenge when Trent sees a cannonball, fired by Geoff in his vengeful state, flying towards Cody and pushes him out of the way, taking the shot. Turns out, unlike most injuries in the show, to be "serious" enough by Chris's standards that Trent requires medical attention and is ousted from the game as a result.
- Tsundere: Heather and to a lesser extent, Courtney towards Cody.

Featured {Style Me Pretty}
Today is a way good today thanks to the team over at Style Me Pretty for featuring Mary Beth and Tom's Northern Michigan wedding. Working with these two was such a joy thanks to their remarkable personalities and genuine nature. Mary Beth was always game for anything and couldn't have been more receptive to my ideas. And Tom was always willing to help, take on duties and give suggestions. I love when grooms are as hands on as Tom. Their wedding was a whirlwind day filled with endless amount of detail and some of the most memorable moments I'll never forget. You can see more of their wedding in its entirety here and catch the post on the Little Black Book blog here. I'm off to a rental appointment this morning before some more client appointments this afternoon! Make it a good day, blogettes xoxo
