Monster Magnet
Formed: 1989
From: NJ, United States
Last Known Status: Active
This space-rock band was formed in New Jersey, USA in 1989 by David Wyndorf (vocals/guitar, ex-Shrapnel), with John McBain (guitar), Joe Calandra (bass) and Jon Kleiman (drums). After a couple of self-released tapes and a rather self-indulgent debut album, Monster Magnet suddenly found broad press and public support with Spine Of God, despite the back cover disclaimer that "It"s a satanic drug thing . . . you wouldn't understand'. The sound and songs drew on Wyndorf's obsession with late 60s psychedelia, music and culture, producing a hypnotic set that blended Space Ritual -era Hawkwind -style with an MC5 / Black Sabbath guitar barrage and a liberal sprinkling of drug references, all played with a 90s venom.
The band were quick to capitalize, touring almost non-stop around Europe and the USA, and, following a US tour with Soundgarden, they lost McBain but gained a contract with A&M Records, who were happy to give the band creative freedom. The resultant Superjudge, with new guitarist Ed Mundell, was, if anything, more intense, and saw Monster Magnet pay tribute to Hawkwind with an affectionate blast through "Brainstorm".
Their live shows remained an experience in themselves, with lighting engineer Tim Cronin's astral projection backdrop proving to be an essential component as the band whipped up a frenzy on stage, touring Europe with Paw and the USA with Raging Slab in 1994. Dopes To Infinity and Powertrip honed their space rock sound to perfection and established them as arguably the leaders of the genre. Guitarist Phil Caivano was brought into the line-up in 1998 to augment the band's live sound and help record God Says No.

Monster Magnet Announces New Album & Tour
Monster Magnet is back! The band has confirmed an October 15th North American release date for their new album entitled "Last Patrol" via Napalm Records. Today, Monster Magnet has unveiled the artwork and track list for the release. Dave Wyndorf and Phil Caivano produced Last Patrol, while Evil Joe Barresit mixed the album with additional production duties handled by Matt Hyde. The artwork was created by Johun Sumrow with consultation coming from Chris Ryall and designs by Ryan Clark for Invisible Creatures Inc. The album will be available as a Limited Edition CD, standard CD, 2LP and digital format.
In support of "Last Patrol," Monster Magnet will be embark on a full-blown North American Tour! Although the band has toured Europe relentlessly over the past decade, this is Monster Magnet's first full North American tour in over 10 years! The band is eager to hit the road in the states for the first time in what seems like forever. Prepare to hear Monster Magnet classics and new cuts from "Last Patrol" for the first time live! Support will come from Prosthetic Records artist Zodiac. The tour is scheduled to kick off November 14th in Grand Rapids, MI and will run through December 14th in New York, NY (see dates below).
Frontman Dave Wyndorf checked in with his thoughts about Last Patrol: "Last Patrol is a return to our roots in terms of vibe and recording style. It's full-on psychedelic space-rock with a 60's garage feel, recorded almost exclusively with vintage guitars, amps and effects in our hometown of Red Bank, NJ. The songs are a kind of Space-Noir, tales of cosmic revenge, peaking libidos, alienation and epic strangeness. It's a weird trip through the back alleys of a dark, retro-future, which not by coincidence very much resembles my own life. (laughs) The lyrics aren't fantasy really, rather a recounting of my musings on, observations of and general emotional reaction to my life and environment during a 1 week writing period in February of 2013. But I tend to use the vernacular and imagery of science fiction and surrealism to express myself and that's where these lyrics get trippy. There's also our cover version of Donovan's "Three Kingfishers" which I thought fit the mood of the album." More...

Monster Magnet Video Interview Posted Online
A new video interview featuring Monster Magnet's Dave Wyndorf has been made available online. The interview was conducted during the band's appaearance at this year's Getaway Rock festival, which is currently taking place in Gavle, Sweden. You can now watch the interview in the player located below.
Graspop Metal Meeting: Day Two
Being awoken by drunks at a festival is to be expected, being awoken by rain, was not. The second day of the Graspop Metal Meeting was considerably more dreary than the first when it came to weather, but just like the first day, there was still a fantastic lineup of metal to look forward to.
After deciding to stick around in the campsites for a little while, we headed into the main area to be greeted by the frustrating news that tonight's headliner, Ozzy Osbourne, has cancelled his performance due to laryngitis. Instead, second from top Judas Priest would be taking over the headlining position with an extended two hour set and Belgian metal veterans Channel Zero would be stepping in to fill the empty slot, bumping Whitesnake up the bill in the process.
Although we missed the first couple of bands on saturday, we arrived with plenty of time to catch the second band on the main stage, Italian gothic rockers Lacuna Coil. The band performed a solid set with material which focused mostly on their last three albums, "Comalies," "Karmacode" and "Shallow Life" and were on fine form. Although singer Cristina Scabbia receives much of the attention lavished on the band, her singing partner Andrea Ferro also deserves a huge amount of recognition, as both singers voices sounded absolutely perfect. The fans were clearly enjoying it too, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed throughout the entire set in the miserable weather, not just bearing the climate, but singing along and raising their hands too. Scabbia carried herself on stage with a real ballsy attitude, the kind that shows just how well women really can fit into rock and metal music, and was able to coax the crowd into singing as loud as they could for the Depeche Mode cover, "Enjoy The Silence." I must say there were a few songs I was hoping it would be included in the set that weren't, most notably, "Swamped," but nevertheless, they were still a captivating live spectacle and disappointed no-one.
It would then be a while before I was to catch another set in full, having only caught a few songs from Kylesa in one of the Marquees to avoid the rain and watching the first song from Greek power metal outfit Firewind before deciding it was time to eat. In any case, we made sure we were in Marquee 1 with plenty of time to spare to catch Triptykon, one of the main reasons I wanted to return to Graspop. Following their chilling, "Crucifixus" intro, the band broke into the Celtic Frost classic, "Procreation Of The Wicked." The song went down a storm but in all honesty, took some time to recognise as it has become a much slower and more doom metal laden affair than what is heard on the "Morbid Tales" album. It was truely a thrill to see Tom G. Warrior back on stage, displaying the dark intensity that has made him such a popular figure in metal music for almost three decades. He wasn't the only notable member of the band too, as Dark Fortress guitarist V. Santura was able to perform with total accuracy and bassist Vanja Slajh showed everyone that she has a mesmerising stage presence too. After "Procreation..." the band busted out one of their own tracks in the form of "Eparistera Daimones" opener, "Goetia," before heading back into more familiar territory with another Celtic Frost song, this time "Circle Of The Tyrants." Warrior thanked the fans afterwards, displaying the utmost sincerity and grattitude for the warm welcome the audience had given Triptykon, before launching into another Frost staple, "Babylon Fell." Only four songs into the set and it was time for the last, in this case, Triptykon's album closer, "The Prolonging." It takes some balls to perform a twenty minute song at a festival and it takes alot of musicianship and charisma to keep the crowd interested, which is exactly what they did. "The Prolonging" is clearly a song the group are very proud of, as performing it meant that they had to cut out other brilliant songs both of their own and the Frost catalogue. Having seen Celtic Frost before, I can say that seeing Triptykon is as close as one can get but with the added bonus of their own, outstanding material. I eagerly await seeing them again. More...

It's a bummer, yeah but we've been through this kind of thing before. Make no mistake, Magnet goes on. We start the Mastermind tour tonight in Cologne, Germany with Phil Caivano and Garrett Sweeny handling duel guitar chores.
"I'd like to thank Ed for the immense talent he's brought to the band over the years and wish him good luck in whatever he decides to do next.

Pilot Robert Poole of Granite Quarry was able to walk Wednesday after flipping his plane at the end of the runway at the Rowan County Airport.
Poole was flying a homemade experimental plane known as a Vans RV9A, according to Rowan County Emergency Services Chief Frank Thomason. Poole was attempting to land when he "bounced" the plane and it flipped over onto its top.
Poole had a scratch on the head, but was otherwise alright and refused treatment from Rowan County EMS.
The airport was closed to air traffic while the plane was moved and while a small fuel leak was cleaned up from the site.
Thomason said that there would be an investigation handled by the Highway Patrol, Salisbury Police Department, and Rowan Sheriff's Office.

Days of Wonder
Ticket to Ride iPad gets Retina support, and it's beautiful
The iPad version of Ticket to Ride was updated to take advantage of the Retina display of new iPad hardware, and the results are spectacular. You can take a look at the image inside this story, and make sure to click on the picture to really take in the details. The text is much easier to read, the graphics are sharper, and the added resolution allowed Days of Wonder to add shapes inside the paths so the color blind can play the game as well. We caught up with Days of Wonder CEO Eric Hautemont to discuss how much work went into the upgrade. "There was very little work involved, and a lot less than we had to do for the initial, non Retina-enhanced iPads," Hautemont said. "Hence the quick turn-around." The reason is simple: The new display has a high enough resolution, and is high contrast and sharp enough to use the same print files the company uses for the physical board games. "We still sample these files down and tweak them a bit, since we print at 1,200 dpi in the cardboard version, for instance, which would obviously make no sense here," he explained. Still, the images in the digital game are now the images used in the physical board game. This is as close to the "real" thing as you can get. "When the display is really crisp, like with the new iPad, we like to try and be as close to the real board game as we can," he explained. "However on lower resolution screens, like old iPads, and the iPhones, even the Retina ones who still have a very small screen form factor, we simplify the graphics from the board game a lot, for readability purposes." I've had a chance to play a few rounds of the game since the update went live, and it really is a beautiful update. The board is clear and easy to read, and the graphics are detailed and attractive. The latest iPad is a luxury product with that new screen and added horsepower needed to run it, but it also allows games like Ticket to Ride, which is the closest you can get to a board game without the physical product in front of you. There are a few assets in the game that don't seem to be updated and look oddly fuzzy on the screen, but the game delivers where it counts. As we know, digital products are a big part of Days of Wonder's strategy, and ports like this will help keep them ahead of the pack. So what's next? "We'd love to do the same, along with many other long-wished-for improvements, for our other iPad game, Small World," Hautemont told the Penny Arcade Report. "Hopefully it's only a matter of time."

Boat blockade Fishermen blocked the entrance to Piraeus port with their boats for the second day yesterday. They were protesting a European Union directive, due to come into force next year, preventing them from fishing less than 1.5 nautical miles from the coast and at a depth of less than 50 meters. http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_articles_politics_100016_04/12/2008_102730
It is obvious that we were lied to and in place of Athens we were given a $7 refund and free beer and wine for a period of one hour. If they had made any attempt to apologize and tell us the truth and even offer us rewards toward our next cruise some kind of customer service would have gone a long way to overcoming the bad taste left after this kind of treatment.
The day to day staff in the Casino and serving in the restaurants tried their best but from overheard conversations it was obvious that they were putting in 12-16 hour days due to being so understaffed. Several conversations that took place between uniformed officers were overheard as they tried their best to ensure some service but were hard pressed since staff were exhausted. Service was terribly slow in the restaurants and it was clear that walking through boat that standards were slipping.
We spoke to several people after the cruise on the bus to the airport and on the plane home and many of them told us that this was there 4 or even 7th cruise on NCL and every one of those we spoke to told us how disappointed they were at this cruise. They had chosen the Jade due to excellent previous experiences and were now overwhelmingly angry and ready to complain. We met one couple who had cruised over 36 times many on NCL and who would never sail on an NCL ship again after this experience.
The ports are amazing and for the most part everything we had hoped for. Rome was incredible and very easy to do on your own. The train from Civitavecchia was easy to find and very quick (much quicker than the NCL overpriced buses). Touring Rome is difficult due to traffic and we have to say the Hop on Hop Off buses are useless as the staff are far more interested in their cell phone conversations than telling tourists what stop they are at. We were told later by other passengers that the public transit is quicker and easier and included in the price of your train ticket to Rome which was around $8 Euros.
Turkey is fantastic but organize your own tour through Sisan or one of the other companies recommended by cruisers. We went with 6 others and paid $75 and had a superb experience with Sisan's Dennis the tour guide. Malta is ridiculously easy to do on your own but be prepared for the hill and steps up it's a good hike but many private tours can be arranged at around ½ of the ships rate. Egypt well it has to be seen but be prepared it is filthy and as one passenger told us they will sell their grandmother to you for a buck. Even the cops in Egypt want a handout but be prepared to be very rude to the guys trying to sell you stuff. The filth and the harassment make the pyramids a disappointment and the National Museum is a disgrace, it is dirty and dingy and you cannot see the incredible pieces in a decent light. King Tut's treasures under lit and in filthy cases and always carry your own toilet paper because they charge for it and won't let you flush it. We organized a tour from home and our guide Rasha El Ashmawy at www.egyptdailytours.com was excellent and highly recommended.
Disembarkation was easy with carrying off your own luggage, and we were off the bus at 6 am sharp as our flight was due to leave around 9:30 from Barcelona. It was pretty obvious that no-one gave a rat's as we got of the ship. We were forced to wait until all the buses were loaded with people which meant sitting around for ½ an hour of so before we left for the airport. Then at the airport we were not allowed to get off the bus until the luggage had been taken of the two trucks ahead of us and our luggage wasn't even on the truck. All in all though a simple process to get of the ship and at that point we were looking forward to airport food which I have to say well outweighed the Jade with respect to quality.

In case my title is too subtle, let me make things clear right now: I love Lyoto Machida. He is a master mixed martial artist of the highest order. On a normal UFC fight week I do a Judo Chop for each of the main event fighters, and I'll be covering both Jose Aldo and the Korean Zombie tomorrow, but there's no way I can resist breaking down the style of the man who single-handedly made a whole generation of MMA fans rethink their stance on traditional martial arts by gyaku-zuki-ing his way straight to a Light Heavyweight title. For my part, I don't care who the Dragon is matched up with, whether it improves the division or not. I'm just happy to watch him fight.
Lyoto has been the subject of plenty of breakdowns before, so I'm going to avoid running through the same techniques that plenty of others have analyzed. I'm going to focus more on the subtleties and intangibles of Lyoto's game: his stance, his angles, and his strategies.
Lyoto's stance is unique. Very few fighters stand the way he does nowadays, even in boxing, but his stance bears a striking (ha-ha) resemblance to those of boxers from the early twentieth century. Here is a still of Lyoto compared with boxing great George Dixon (who not only won the world bantamweight title in 1888, but purportedly invented shadowboxing--there's a video of Dixon fighting here, if you're interested).
In a stunning fit of analysis during Machida's 2009 title fight with Rashad Evans, Mike Goldberg was heard to say, "[Machida] gets his legs set but then he leans back and makes himself even a tougher target, just the way that head is further back than the rest of the body." And that's the key. Machida's stance, like the stance of George Dixon, is all about distance control. It's simple math, really. As a result of his rear-weighted stance, with the head over his back foot, Lyoto's opponents must cover more distance with their attacks to strike his head. More distance traveled means more time for Machida to see the strike and react accordingly. As a counter striker, that little bit of extra time and distance can be critical, and the results look something like this: GIF
In addition, Machida can initiate offense more safely by maintaining his stance as he enters range. The first thing to enter range is his lead foot, followed by his hips, followed by his head. By testing the water with his lower body first, Lyoto is able to maintain the critical distance between his opponent's hands and his face even while entering range.
The head being the defensive priority does, however, sometimes leave the Dragon open to body and leg attacks. The lower body enters range first, and it also exits range last, hence Machida's UFC 104 performance against Shogun Rua in which the challenger, while rarely finding Lyoto's head, was able to land numerous kicks to his torso and legs throughout the fight (GIF1, GIF2). Even Dan Henderson nearly stole a decision over Machida with little more than several dozen geriatric leg kicks.
For more on the virtues of a back-weighted stance, check out my Bloody Basics piece on the matter. As for Lyoto, let's talk about one of his greatest strengths: his understanding of angles.
This is one of those words that gets thrown around frequently by commentators, but the concept is rarely explained. Simply put, the use of angles allow you to hit your opponent without him being able to hit you back. An advantageous angle is a precious thing, which is why many high-level striking matches begin with a long period of "feeling out," in which the two fighters jockey with one another for subtle changes in position, and consequently many high-level strikers are called "boring" by casual fans.
The expert use of angles is a beautiful thing, however, and I encourage you to study the footwork of men such as Lyoto Machida. The following sequence is a shining example of how a small difference in angle can make a massive difference. Check out the GIF, too.
1. Machida has his lead side pointed at the center line of Thiago Silva.
2. Thiago, thinking he has the advantageous angle, throws a straight right. Lyoto hop-steps back and to his left.
3. Having secured an inside angle, Lyoto throws a left hand that gets blocked.
4. Thiago attempts to counter with a stepping left kick, but Machida throws a shift punch, stepping through with his left foot as he throws a right straight that drops Silva.
A sequence like this is all about the angles. A small step to his left at the right time, and Lyoto finds himself in a position to strike Thiago without being struck in return. The straight left to shift punch is a favorite combination of Lyoto's (he also throws it against Randy Couture, once again failing to connect with the left but landing the right as he steps: GIF). The step-through with the rear leg adds a further angle, as well as allowing Lyoto to throw a powerful straight right without overextending himself.
Machida's angles also allow him to utilize his tremendous footsweeps, techniques that I feared he was drifting away from for some time until his spectacular takedown of Dan Henderson (GIF). Angles are key to the success of many footsweeps, trips, and blocks. At any given moment, a person has a strong plane, and a weak one. A strong plane is one in which you are difficult to knock over, such as when you have one foot facing the opponent, and the other foot supporting your weight from behind. A weak plane is one in which you are easy to knock over. Observe how Machida uses his footwork and angles to take advantage of this concept.
1. Machida circles to his left. In this still, you can see Thiago committing to a big forward step as he attempts to chase him down--exactly what Machida was waiting for.
2. He throws a lightning quick straight left while stepping off-line.
3. As his punch lands, Lyoto enters a clinch with Thiago. He has a left underhook, and a shallow right overhook. Thiago's weak plane is indicated with a white line. Machida begins to lift with his underhook and drive Thiago against this weak plane.
4. In order for this plane to be strong, Thiago would have to step his left foot back, in essence posting on his left leg to keep from falling backward to the left. But Machida hooks Silva's left leg with his right leg, pulling as he continues to lift and push Thiago's upper body. This results in a rapid and irreversible fall for Thiago.
Machida's style is centered on his ability to position himself relative to his opponents. Though he is smaller, slower, and less powerful than some of his opponents, his understanding of angles allows him to pick them apart comfortably, or throw them to the canvas with ease.
Joe Rogan once remarked during a Machida fight, "it's as if guys can't resist chasing him." I'd say he was right. So many of Machida's opponents have fallen prey to his superb gameplanning, or else been defeated by their own lack of tactical planning. Thiago Silva chased Machida down, and Rashad Evans tried to out-counter him with pure speed. Ryan Bader and Dan Henderson attempted to throw bombs from range. All but one of these men ended up unconscious on the canvas for their efforts.
Machida's staple techniques--the gyaku-zuki and the stepping left knee--both rely on his opponents stepping in after him. But where some fighters simply wait for the opponent to attack, Machida forces the attack with careful pressure.
Despite the boos that accompanied it in 2008, one of my favorite Machida fights is his bout with Tito Ortiz. It's classic Machida, through and through. Lyoto was never really the aggressor, but he forced Tito to feed him a steady supply of counter opportunities with a relentless kicking game. Anderson Silva uses similar tactics with great success.
In the first round of their fight, Machida throws 19 kicks, and only six punches. He opens the round with four lead outside leg kicks, deftly stuffing a counter takedown attempt on the fourth one, and then feinting with the lead leg only to switch to rear inside leg kicks moments later. Unable to land a takedown or a single strike from Machida's range, Tito is forced to rush forward to try to catch Machida. By the end of the round the ex-champ is throwing up his hands in frustration, but it doesn't help.
So what's the point of all this? Turn your eyes to this magnificent GIF. In the third round, Tito is desperate to lay his hands on Machida, one way or another. All of this culminates in Lyoto's specialty strike, the left knee to the body. Tito begins to change levels to attempt yet another takedown, and dives liver-first into Machida's rising knee. He folds up in agony as Machida, ever the cautious fighter, is already circling to his right, exiting range on a different angle from his attack.
This is the choice that Machida offers his opponents. The fact is, these fights are part of a competition sport, and Lyoto's opponents know that. Fighting from a distance, Machida can happily carry a decision over most fighters in the division. Never one to put himself at unnecessary risk, he is happy to take those wins. If, as is sometimes the case, his opponents are not satisfied with the prospect of losing an uneventful decision, however, he is more than happy to let them walk into one of his picture-perfect power shots. It's not always kicks -- against Couture Machida used a pawing jab to draw his opponent in -- and some opponents don't need to be goaded at all, such as Thiago Silva. But of those who have chosen to chase the Dragon down, more than a few have woken up minutes later with a flashlight shining in their eyes.
Fighters like Lyoto Machida don't come around often. It takes a special fighter to translate years of Shotokan Karate into a successful MMA career (just ask Lyoto's brother and cornerman Chinzo). The ex-light heavyweight champ possesses a potent arsenal of strikes, and wields them with deadly wit. Whether or not Machida has the style to beat Jon Jones in a rematch I don't know, but every one of his fights is absolutely filled with beautiful little moments like the ones above, and I for one will never tire of seeing this master at work.
To close, please check out this GIF of Lyoto walking BJ Penn into the most artistic footsweep I have ever seen. Can't nobody do that like the Dragon can.
Check BE tomorrow for my breakdowns of the striking of The Korean Zombie, Chan Sung Jung and Jose Aldo, who just might be the best striker in MMA.

New MMC Layer Announced for Kernel 2.6.24
Kernel 2.6.24 has kicked off with the announcement of a new MMC Layer. The new layer will support the SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) standards.
The MMC Layer will become available when the Kernel 2.6.24 merge window opens. In his posting on the Linux Kernel mailing list (lkml) developer Pierre Ossman writes that the subsystem has been reworked and that two major milestones, and many minor changes, have been achieved. The new subsystem is the first to provide native support for the SDIO and SPI standards – added incentive for deployment on mobile and embedded devices.
SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) is based on the SD memory card standard and gives users the ability to connect external devices such as mass memory, NICs, or GPS receivers via a SDIO slot. The new SDIO stack provided by the MMC Layer currently supports three drivers. Standard GPS devices can be accessed using the "sdio_uart" driver. In theory more UART devices (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) should be accessible in future. The "libertas_sdio" driver supports WLAN cards with Marvell's 8686 Libertas WiFi chip. However, it will not be introduced until shortly before the merge window closes due to unresolved dependencies between the SDIO maintainer's tree and the original "libertas" tree. The third driver, "hci_sdio", is for Bluetooth devices and will integrate with the kernel's Bluetooth subsystem.
Maintainer Ossman warns that the new stack design may make porting of more drivers a complicated process: on a brighter note, this may lead to more stable drivers that remove the need for hacks and workarounds.
The second major feature is SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) support. This will allow users to address and use SPI controllers for MMC, SD and SDIO, as long as they keep to the standard. Pierre Ossman admits that many controllers do not do so. Developer David Brownell is working on the SPI branch, but not on a permanent basis. This is why Ossman is looking for a new maintainer with sufficient experience of the Linux SPI interface, and time to spare.

We flew into Ft Lauderdale and were surprised about how difficult it was to obtain a ground transfer at the Ft. Lauderdale airport to the Miami area where we stayed in a hotel for one night before the cruise.
Embarkation: The pre-cruise paperwork had stated that the ship would embark passengers starting at 3 pm. After arriving at the cruise terminal early, we were pleasantly surprised that boarding was moved up to 1 pm. The process was extremely efficient and took only about 15 minutes to pass through screening and to complete all the paperwork. Our stateroom was impeccably prepared by out steward (Francis). It took about 4 hours for all of our bags to arrive at the cabin. We quickly started to make the rounds to request desired shore tours (we had not pre-booked any with Oceania) and to make the specialty restaurant reservations. They only had one poor person in the Horizons Lounge taking restaurant reservations for our group of cabins. This made the process very slow and it took about 45 minutes to complete our request. The Terrace Cafe was open for a lunch buffet so we had a delicious meal.
Stateroom: We had a very nice porthole stateroom on the 3rd deck. It was exactly as described in the brochure. The bed was very comfortable with plush linens. The stateroom was attended to twice daily with complete changes of towels. We had extraordinary service throughout the cruise from our steward who made sure everything met our requests. He coordinated with room service to provide a pitcher of water and ice twice a day so we could keep cool drinks on hand. The third deck location is kind of out of the way, but also many of the crew come out of their quarters via the 3rd deck.
Ship: All of the Oceania ships are identical in both configuration and naming of rooms/restaurants. This made it very easy to quickly regain familiarity with the various locations. The ship is a mid-size and had about 670 passengers. All of the public areas are very nicely decorated and the housekeeping crew keeps them spotless. The fitness center was well equipped with spectacular full height windows looking out to sea.
Favorite deck chair location - 5th deck, but you need to claim the spots early!
Entertainment: The cruise had a very talented classical guitarist aboard who played two shows with Latin themed music. The ship also had a string quartet that played beautiful music several times during the day, it was always a treat to listen to them following dinner.
Service: The hallmark of the ship is the quality of the crew. They were wonderful in every respect and thoroughly spoiled us. They all take pride in their work and always had a sunny disposition. Can't say enough about the positive attitude of the crew.
Disembarkation: This went very smoothly, were scheduled to leave the ship at 9:15am as we had independent transportation to Ft Lauderdale airport. Our bags were waiting ashore and we had no problems getting through customs.
Summary - Overall we truly enjoyed the cruise as this was our first visit to islands outside the BVIs. We were thoroughly spoiled by the very friendly and attentive ship's crew. The gourmet quality of the food made each meal a dining experience. If you have children, this is not the cruise line for you as there are no kid-specific activities. The ship is beautifully maintained and is able to make ports of call in interesting places due to being a mid-sized ship.

With Randy Moss' time in Minnesota shockingly coming to an end after just four games, according to some reports, WR Sidney Rice all of a sudden has a chance to make a serious fantasy impact down the stretch.
Report: Vikings release Randy Moss
Only four weeks after trading for the All-Pro wide receiver, the Vikings have chosen to let go of WR Randy Moss, according to the NFL Network.
Moss unhappy already? It's no Halloween prank
Randy Moss is unhappy with the media, but more importantly, he appears unhappy with his situation in Minnesota. Losing to the Patriots, the team that traded him, was a good reminder.
Vikings' players of the week: Week Eight
The Vikings' offensive, defensive and special-teams players of the week in their 28-18 loss to the Patriots in Week Eight.
Pats knock out Favre, hand Vikings their fifth loss
Tom Brady connected with Brandon Tate for a 65-yard touchdown on a broken play to give New England a 28-18 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, knocking Favre out of the game in the process.
Favre leaves game after hit to chin
Vikings QB Brett Favre was carted off the field with a facial laceration. His return is questionable.
Vikings-Patriots prediction
PFW's Eric Edholm thinks the Patriots will dominate the Vikings on Sunday — and knock Brett Favre out of the game.
Patriots-Vikings prediction
Brett Favre's ankle has taken attention away from Randy Moss' return to New England in this highly anticipated matchup. PFW associate editor Kevin Fishbain believes the well-rounded, confident Patriots have the advantage.
Vikings' Greenway off to terrific start
Although the statistics may not show it, the Vikings' defense has played well, particularly LB Chad Greenway, who's been playing like a Pro Bowler.
Don't rule out Rice's return to Vikings this season
Although he's still a few weeks away from getting on the practice field, Vikings WR Sidney Rice may yet be able to return to game action this season, according to NFC North Whispers.
Patriots-Vikings matchup of the day: Saturday

Kalil is headed to Hawaii after all. Kalil was added to the NFC's Pro Bowl roster Friday to replace Washington Redskins tackle Trent Williams, who was hurt in a brawl at a Honolulu nightclub.||||||| Kalil was the fourth overall draft pick last April and immediately established himself as a top player at one of the game's most important positions. He helped pave the way for Adrian Peterson to rush for 2,000 yards and usually faced the opponent's top pass rusher as the protector for Christian Ponder's blind side. He is the fourth Vikings rookie to make the Pro Bowl since 2007.
The Minnesota Vikings have signed Kalil, their top draft pick and the last player from their 2012 draft class to reach a contract.||||||| Terms weren't disclosed Thursday, one day before the team opens training camp in Mankato. Kalil was the fourth choice overall from Southern California.

With miX, Alain Ducasse invites you to discover a new range of culinary and aesthetic sensations high above the Las Vegas strip...
Culinary artistry with strong French and American influences, edgy interior designed by Patrick Jouin and breathtaking views: this is miX, a restaurant and lounge imagined by Alain Ducasse, to be experienced in THEhotel at Mandalay Bay.
With newly appointed Chef Bruno Riou, who trained under Ducasse for ten years, the restaurant continues to remain a culinary favorite.

With a decade of experience working with Alain Ducasse in London, Bruno Riou now serves as the Executive Chef at miX in Las Vegas, on the top floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel, where he is recognized for interpreting classic and refined Ducasse cuisine in a contemporary way.
Riou attributes his passion for cooking to his family and traces his ardor for quality produce to his grandfather. He enrolled in culinary school at age twenty four and worked in southern France for two years before moving to London. He started at Le Suquet and in 2002, he took an opportunity to work at Alain Ducasse's Spoon at Sanderson in the Sanderson Hotel in London, where he was inspired to work for a renowned culinary master and by the fine ingredients available. Three years later he became sous chef, and in July 2007, Riou opened Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester. As executive sous chef, he helped the restaurant achieve its three Michelin stars in three years. He thrived in the demanding environment and credits Alain Ducasse for providing strong leadership, which pushed him to strive for perfection with rigorous practice and the simple goal of creating well-seasoned food.
When Ducasse asked Riou to take on the Executive Chef position at miX in Las Vegas, he was ready for a new challenge and to lead a team under the values that he has learned working for Alain Ducasse. Diners enjoy menu items that express his culinary artistry accomplished through both highly toned and edgy French technique.
AMAZING!!! I loved everything about this restaurant; the food, the service, the views! We sat on the outdoor patio for dinner and it was perfect!
-Megan M.
We love MIX! We come here every time we are in Vegas now. The food is really great, and the drinks are always good. And did I mention the view.... I always get the filet mignon rossini. Probably the most expensive thing on the menu, but you have to try it at least once in your life! And the baba ah rhum cake is a perfect end to the meal. Try MIX at least once in Vegas. Great atmosphere and food. This would be a great special occasion meal.
-Sharon S.
This is an amazing restaurant with an amazing menu.
We have eaten at Alain Ducasse in The Dorchester London and whilst it was lovely the menu was super dooper fancy which doesnt suit me. The menu here was much better in my opinion although still of an extremely high standard.

Wandsworth crowned champions of London
Updated 8:24am Tuesday 8th July 2014 in Sport
Wandsworth are champions of London for the second year running after being crowned Balfour Beatty London Youth Games winners on Sunday.
The south London borough team collected the Jubilee Trophy from four-times Olympian Chemmy Alcott as Europe's largest annual youth sports event drew to a climax at the National Sports Centre, Crystal Palace.
Over 100,000 young Londoners take part in the London Youth Games every year and an estimated 15,000 took part in 18 sports at finals weekend.
Wandsworth won with a record total of 1193 points, with 2012 winners Croydon in second place with 1150 and Richmond third with 1147.
The London Youth Games season began in November last year and took in 30 sports on route to Crystal Palace.

Reilly Smith will be back in the lineup tonight as the Dallas Stars play at Detroit. Smith, who was scratched last night in Columbus, is expected to start the game at right wing line with left wing Brenden Morrow and center Tom Wandell
"We want to get him ice time," Stars coach Glen Gulutzan said of Smith. "He's fresh legs."
Ryan Garbutt, who had been playing with Morrow and Wandell, will move to a line with Eric Nystrom and Vernon Fiddler.
Tomas Vincour will be the odd-man out and a healthy scratch.
Defenseman Aaron Rome (flu) joined the team today, but will not play. Derek Roy (groin) is out as well.
Kari Lehtonen, as noted in an earlier post, will get the nod in goal. He'll be getting starts on consecutive nights.
"When we have a goalie of his caliber that is playing this way and his saying that he is completely healthy and fresh, then you've got to trust the athlete," Gulutzan said.

MEDFORD (WAOW) – A Rib Lake mother told investigators she tried to kill herself and four of her children so she could "be in heaven" with them because she didn't think they could handle an upcoming divorce, according to a criminal complaint filed Thursday.
Heidi Mann, 37, was charged with four counts of attempted first-degree homicide of children ranging in age from three to 11. The incident took place at her home March 8, the complaint said.
Mann said she loaded the children into a sports utility vehicle parked in a garage and planned on poisoning them and herself by starting the vehicle and filling the garage with carbon monoxide, the complaint said.
"Heidi stated that she just felt peaceful and felt like she was doing the right thing on that day," the complaint said. "Heidi made the comment that she just wanted to die and be in heaven with her four youngest children."
Mann told investigators that she felt that she had no "good options" in what she could do regarding the children and the divorce, the complaint said.
She told investigators she let the vehicle run for about two hours and then stopped but she was unsure why, other than one of the children had fallen asleep but she saw he was still breathing, the complaint said.
The mother told investigators that she decided to let two older sons live because she knew they would be OK and could deal with issues of the family breaking up, the complaint said.
She said she wrote a letter to the boys and left a letter for her grandmother "explaining everything," the complaint said.
According to the complaint, police became aware of the incident in the garage from a report from a psychiatric facility associated with St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Appleton, the complaint said. Doctors there learned of the incident June 7, the complaint said.
Mann is to make her first appearance in Taylor County Circuit Court on Tuesday.
The maximum punishment for each attempted homicide count is 60 years in prison.

Fine Furniture Design to produce Biltmore Estate line
February 18, 2013-- Home Accents Today,
HIGH POINT - Case goods and upholstery producer Fine Furniture Design will unveil its first major licensing partnership this spring with the Biltmore Estate, the largest private residence in the United States.
Biltmore for Your Home will include 80 pieces of wood and upholstery in three collections. There are roughly 60 bedroom, dining room and accent furniture pieces and about 20 pieces of upholstery.
These aren't reproductions, but rather are inspired by the pieces collected by shipping and railroad magnate George W. Vanderbilt and his wife, Edith, over the years. Built in 1895 by Vanderbilt, the 250-room estate in Asheville, N.C., is a French Renaissance chateau that houses the family's original collection of furniture, art and antiques.
Fine Furniture signed a five-year licensing agreement with the Biltmore estate in July and has developed the collections in partnership with the Biltmore Home Products Division.
The line will debut at the spring High Point Market, April 20-25. It is expected to ship in July and hit retail in late August.
Other licensed Biltmore products include rugs, lighting, outdoor furniture and indoor furniture with Habersham that includes mostly custom, high-end case goods. The estate also has a license with Belk Department Stores that includes home textiles, cookware and silverware, bath, bedding and holiday products.
Fine Furniture officials said the licensing agreement gives the company an opportunity to align itself and its products with one of the most visited estates in the country. Biltmore has an estimated one million visitors per year and has a website that officials said draws three million unique visitors each year.
For Biltmore, the license agreement positions the estate with an upper-middle-priced case goods and upholstery resource that has a dedicated factory in China run by parent company Fine Furniture Shanghai.
The last time Biltmore had a license for a case goods collection was with Magnussen Home, from October 2005 to November 2007. However, that line was at a lower price point than the Fine Furniture collection will be, and didn't include upholstery.
"To sum it up we are proud to be a partner with Fine Furniture," said Donnette Miller, Biltmore's licensing director of home furnishings. "The core values are so strikingly similar in that both (organizations) are family owned. When you layer that with Fine Furniture's understanding of quality goods that are represented with case goods, upholstery and accents, it allows us to communicate with the consumer a complete story. We have not done that previously with our partners."
She said the three collections present lifestyles that can stand independently, yet also complement one another.
"You could literally do an entire home with this collection," Miller said. "Because it flows so easily, that is what makes it unique."
The line includes a 20-piece collection of bedroom, dining room and occasional furniture called Salon. Made with okume swirl veneers, the group has European traditional design influences and comes in a relaxed finish called Okume Swirl. There is also a silver finish available on a bed, a mirror and a nightstand.
Antler Hill is a 20-piece collection of bedroom, dining room and occasional furniture with American traditional design influences. Made with cherry veneers, it has two cherry finishes. There is also a textured black finish with gold rub-through elements on select pieces, as well as oak and walnut finishes.
Terrace is a 20-piece collection of mostly accent furniture that also includes a metal bed, a bamboo settee and a writing desk in Mozambique veneers. It features five finishes, for a total of 15 in the three collections.
Retail pricing is still being determined, but the line will be towards the top of the Fine Furniture line, said Jim Adams, vice president of product design and marketing.
He said the groups were designed to have eclectic pieces in diverse finishes that can be mixed and matched. In addition to its core retail customers, he anticipates the line will have broad appeal to designers and other retailers outside its traditional base.
"Biltmore is a one of a kind place, filled with amazing furnishings and décor from Europe, Asia and other far corners of the world," Adams said. "This new collection will take inspiration from this masterful mix, drawing on the unique furniture, architecture, art and other design elements found throughout Biltmore to create a collection of exquisite designs perfectly suited for today's lifestyles."

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Fun and burly journey if you want to work on some wide crack and chimney technique. Stout moves right off the ground with pulling a roof into 15' of steep wide hands. Then the real fun begins with getting into the 50' flaring chimney with a 4-5" crack in the back. Sweet stacking, armbarring, heeltoeing and kneebarring for a long ways through here leads past a bolt and into the technical crux of the route, a fist crack through a bulge. After this, about 20 or 30' of sustained wide hand and fist crack climbing finishes the route. While this route doesn't seem to be traveled often (I was eating sand most of the time), it is super fun with great pro and interesting moves, definitely an experience!
Immediately left of Too Much Cake.
Three or four #3 camalots. Lots of #4 camalots (I probably placed about six or so, and was walking some of them). Two or three #5 camalots are nice to have also. I brought a #6 Camalot and placed it, but it is definitely not necessary. There is one needless bolt before the bulge.

The Frenchman's first-half header to make it 2-0 was, in fact, his first goal for almost two years. The last time Evra was on the scoresheet was in a game against Wigan Athletic in November 2010 and before that there was an even longer gap, dating back to 2006/07.
That campaign - his first full one as a United player - brought him two goals, at the expense of firstly Everton and then Roma in the famous 7-1 romp.
Congratulations, Patrice, on reaching 300 games for the Reds - but more importantly on helping the team get back to winning ways in the Barclays Premier League.

On-tap at the brewery: "Light and clean yet complex with banana esters surrounded by a slightly earthy, bready aroma. 4.9%"
A: Pours light golden with a thick white head that left a crazy sheet of sticky lace down the glass.
S: I get notes of clove, banana bread and maybe nutmeg on the nose.
T: The taste is more subdued than the nose. Banana esters and earthy dry grains dominate. Spices and clove come through in the finish. There are some peppery, earthy hops in the lightly bitter aftertaste.
M: Bubbly, fine carbonation, clean mouth but a bit greasy.
O: A decent drinking beer but not my favorite.

On tap at Bobby G's. Pours a clear light light amber with a small white head that has good retention and leaves big streaks of lacing on the glass. Aroma is some bready yeast, clove, pepper, some light floral notes, and biscuit. The taste is a peppery spicyness, clove, some floral notes, and biscuit. The finish is bready yeast with a light bitterness. Quite dry throughout. Light bodied. Heavy carbonation. Good, but not great.

Draft at the Pour House in Westmont, NJ.
Pours a slightly cloudy, dark golden yellow color with a one finger white head that slowly fades into a thin ring. Splotches of lacing left behind.
Zesty spicy aroma with hints of corriander and peppery cloves along with subtle citrus and some bready yeast. Lots of lemon peel with faint banana. Mostly citrus and spice.
Medium bodied with a crisp hop bite and prominent spice character up front that lingers over the sweeter notes into a dry slightly tart finish. Lots of zesty corriander/peppery clove followed by sweet fruit and bready yeast. The yeast character is stronger than the aroma suggests adding fullness to the body and some depth. I'm also picking up more banana than I did in the nose. Still some lemon peel but banana, spice and yeast overpower it a but. Decently balanced and easy to drink but nothing out of the ordinary.

On tap, can't pass up a hefeweizen. Beer is amber and clear with a big white head of small bubbles, some lacing, low retention, low carbonation.
Aroma is weak but mildly bananay.
Beer is grainy with an aftertaste but has that hefeweizen yeast character that i expect. Nothing special, sort of disappointing and I won't have it again.

3.53/5 rDev -5.1%
Pours a semi clear golden hue with a bright white head, fine white lacing left down the sides of my glass. Aroma has a tart/sour edge to a citric/banana/tropical fruit nose, with a nice biscuit/bready wheat beer base malt profile. Flavor has hints of banana very refreshing thirst quenching with just a touch of sourdough, and a touch of acidity no real hops to mention it is a wheat beer with a touch of a twist. Cleaner than any true Berliner Weiss I'm guessing they weren't going for that much more of a straight up German wheat style than a sour version. Lighter bodied lower alcohol very nice carbonation flows along with an easy going finish. Overall a nice beer that could get boring if you don't like the style but for me I thought this is quite enjoyable.

As a standard American Wheat Ale, its bready base and neutral yeast character allow for a crisp and refreshing session, but the lack of complexity relveals some flaws.
Pouring a pilsner-esque straw color and with a mild haze, the beer isn't as densly shaded as traditional Wheats, yet not as clear as Kristalweizens either. An airy white head builds atop the beer but its structure quickly falls back into the glass while failing to lace at all.
Spritzy with lemon, apple, and raw grain, the beer's bready base seems of whole wheat, light dough, and fresh pilsner malts. Light grassy aromas fuse with the pungent earthy grains for the essence of lemon grass herbs.
Flavors of grain, malt, and hops do much the same in taste. Fruity with green apples, mildly acidic tones of lime and citrus, and the musty tartness of under rippened berries, the beer has a mild musty, earthy, and grassy taste that carries the beer from sip to finish. In moderate fashion, the beer takes all these flavors and keeps them balanced and light for a refreshing and thrist quenching session.
The grainy flavor and aroma also reflects in mouthfeel. More rough and raw grain textures take precidence instead of the smooth malty textures. And as the grassy hops turn bitter, more astringency works onto the sides of the tongue and reinforce the notion of a watery beer late. Finishing with a minty cooling and slight fruitiness helps the beer to remain appealing even going into the next sip.
A fairly neutral, if not bland Wheat Beer. The malty textures are too slight to overcome the weak grainy flavor and textures and can't hide astringency of less-than-desirable hop grassiness and rough bitterness. But somehow the beer results in a beverage that's thrist quenching and refreshing, albeit bland.

I'm not sure that this beer is a kristalweizen or not. It certainly seems like it's filtered, but it doesn't use the typical German Hefeweizen yeast, but rather a Belgian yeast. Oh well, categories aren't all that important either.
The body is a clear, straw colored, and it certainly looks filtered. The white head is pretty healthy looking, the retention and lacing are both solid.
It takes a lot of sniffing to get a little bit of a fruity aroma, along with some grain and bread.
Bahl Hornin' Boontlinger Weiss is a mild flavored wheat beer. Grain and bread make up a lot of the profile. The fruit has a good bit of banana and a little bit of generic fruit flavor. I think describing the fruit as "tropical" might be over-doing it, but that is just me. I'll stick to malt with generic fruit.
Light bodied with carbonation that is a hair high.
I wasn't sure what to think of this brew when I tried it. Pleasant, but nothing that I got excited over.

On tap at Finnegan's in Plainfield, IL. The only location that has it in the Chicago area, according to Beermenus.com.
Pours a hazy, straw golden color, with a stark white, fluffy head of about two fingers that drops slowly, and leaves some nice lacing.
Aromas of tropical fruit, bananas, pineapple, wheat.
Flavors of bananas, pineapple, mango, and wheat. Spicy yeast character. Finish is medium with a lingering tropical fruit flavor.
Mouthfeel is medium/light, with a good level of carbonation.
Overall a nice complex take on a weissbier, using a belgian yeast to provide the complexity. Nicely done.
