In celebration of our new local beer sponsor, Austin Beerworks, we asked Sonny and Biddy of We Buy Your Kids to illustrate a koozie design for their upcoming gallery show, HARSH MAJICAL. The Australian duo was happy to help…and also let us know that koozies are called "stubby holders" down under.
The two-sided koozie design includes a reworked version of the WBYK's logo, and mirrors the offbeat, colorful style present throughout the posters and original art featured in the show. The first fifteen people in line at the opening will receive a free koozie, and the remaining koozies will be sold throughout the duration of the show!
We're big fans of Austin Beerworks' beer and design style and are thrilled to now offer a selection at our gallery shows. We will have the Fire Eagle American IPA, Black Thunder German-Style Schwarz, Pearl-Snap German-Style Pils and Peacemaker Extra Pale Ale available at this Friday's opening reception.
HARSH MAJICAL's opening reception will be this Friday (8/29) at 7pm at the Mondo Gallery located at 4115 Guadalupe Street, Austin, Texas 78751.
We're thrilled to announce the programming lineup of panels and screening events for MondoCon, set to coincide with the first weekend of Fantastic Fest on September 20 & 21 at The Marchesa Hall & Theater in Austin, TX. We want to create a convention unlike any other, bringing together unique guests from a variety of areas to celebrate film, music, art, and toys with the world's finest artists, designers, toy creators as well as filmmakers, composers and more. Also, check out the MondoCon logo designed by Mike Saputo!
Panels and screenings will take place in the theater and the exhibition hall will host booths for individual artists and companies featuring artwork and products for sale. The exhibition hall will also offer a unique chance for fans to interact with creators in an intimate environment.
A full service bar and Austin's finest food trucks will be available at the convention, ensuring that attendees will have access to delicious food and beverages.
MondoCon attendees will also be able to take advantage of live screen-printing for t-shirts and exclusive posters throughout the weekend, courtesy of Industry Print Shop. It will be a rare look into the process of screen-printing and the individual stages of poster production.
Below you can find information on panels, screenings, artists & exhibitors and MondoCon exclusives!
Designing Movies
Panelists: Geof Darrow, Jock, Mike Mignola, Alex Pardee, William Stout and Bernie Wrightson
It could be as small as a weapon or as big as an entire world, but each part of a film is designed by an artist. Who does that? How are the creatures, ships and landscapes of our shared dreams created? MondoCon sits down with six artists who have given form to some of the most iconic imagery in film. They will share stories and art, including pieces that have never been released publicly from the design phase on films like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Ghostbusters, The Matrix, Blade 2, Dredd 3D, Return of the Living Dead and more.
The Art of Toy-making
Panelists: Mike Mitchell, Brock Otterbacher, Dan Willett
Go behind the scenes on the world of collectible toys! The panelists will dive deep into Mondo's brand new toy line with photos and design images from the making of the first lineup of collectibles for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Iron Giant and Alfred Hitchcock. Artist Mike Mitchell will also talk about turning his Lil' Mikey illustration into a 3D figure. The future of Mondo's toy collectibles will be discussed with the announcement of a new vinyl figure from a beloved comic book property.
Geof Darrow's Shaolin Cowboy
Panelist: Geof Darrow
Renowned comic book creator (Hard Boilded, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot) and conceptual film artist (The Matrix trilogy) Geof Darrow will discuss Shaolin Cowboy, including presenting 8 minutes of never-before-seen finished animation from an unproduced adaptation of the beloved cult comic. In 2009 Variety reported that the Wachowski siblings and Circle of Confusion were producing an animated feature of Shaolin Cowboy, but no one has ever seen this footage publicly… until now. Darrow will discuss his history with the project and his experience working on the animation in Japan. This is a unique opportunity for the world to get a first look at a potential anime classic that almost was.
Shaolin Cowboy follows an unnamed former Shaolin monk who wanders the land with a talking mule named Lord Evelyn Dunkirk Winniferd Esq. the Third. Having been "asked" to leave the Shaolin temple, he has since had a bounty placed on his head, which many are eager to collect. Given the Shaolin Cowboy's prowess in martial arts, however, this proves to be very difficult.
"I met Geof Darrow a year ago in San Antonio. During our talk, he mentioned that he once lived in Japan and was working on an anime. My brain broke at the thought of a Geof Darrow anime based on Shaolin Cowboy followed immediately by heartbreak when he said that funding was pulled and the project was canceled. I've always wondered what it would be like. What would a Geof Darrow drawing be like if animated? What would the Shaolin Cowboy look like in action? Good news. All of these questions will be answered at MondoCon," said Mondo CEO Justin Ishmael.
2001: A Lost Score
Panelist: Brian Satterwhite
Mondo is releasing the lost score for 2001: A Space Odyssey on vinyl for the first time ever!
Stanley Kubrick's seminal masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is known for its classical musical cues as much as for its vivid imagery. What few people know is that those cues that are forever associated with the film were a last minute revision on the part of Kubrick. An original score exists, composed for the film by the late composer Alex North (A Streetcar Named Desire, Spartacus) that was abandoned during post-production. North did not know his score was discarded until he saw the film's premiere screening.
Composer and writer Brian Satterwhite will host a panel on the subject, featuring a live presentation of several scenes from 2001: A Space Odyssey with the lost score meticulously reintegrated back to the film to show what could have been.
Working with North's estate, Mondo will release "Music for 2001: A Space Odyssey" in a deluxe package, complete with liner notes by Jon Burlingame. The vinyl will be available for sale at the Mondo booth.
Godzilla 1983
Panelist: William Stout
Long before Gareth Edwards and even Roland Emmerich took on the iconic monster, Godzilla was set to make landfall on American soil, but it wasn't his time. Writer Fred Dekker, FX artist Rick Baker and conceptual artist William Stout were just some of the big names involved in an early attempt at a US-produced feature film in the 1980s that few were even aware existed until now.
Artist William Stout will take the audience through the entire feature film with over one hundred storyboards and conceptual art designs that he created along with Dave Stevens (creator of The Rocketeer) and Doug Widley (creator of Johnny Quest)
Mondo Talk: Art Direct a Poster Live!
Panelists: Justin Ishmael, Mitch Putnam, Rob Jones
Mondo Creative Directors Justin Ishmael, Mitch Putnam and Rob Jones will discuss the creative process behind Mondo's work, showing how the team works with artists to arrive at final images. The panel will include a presentation of alternate poster concepts from previously released prints and reveal new poster designs. The audience will also have the unique opportunity to "art direct" a project live during the panel, adding their feedback and voting on their favorite concept. Mondo will then produce the fan-created project.
Tickets for the evening screenings will be made available to badge holders ONLY via Eventbrite before the convention. Stay tuned to the MondoCon website and @MondoConAustin for screening times, ticket release dates and additional screening announcements.
FUTURE SHOCK! The Story of 2000AD (World Premiere Screening)
A long overdue documentary that tells the story of 2000AD, the unsung cult hero of the comics industry. This film will celebrate and pay respect to the comic and explore its importance and influence on contemporary pop culture. Through in-depth interviews with the creators, writers, artists and fans of the last 35 years, we will tell the story of how this irrepressible, independent weekly comic has survived to have such a widespread cultural impact, not only on the international comics industry but also in film, art and literature.
MondoCon will have the world premiere screening of this documentary on Saturday, September 20. The screening will be free to badge holders with the Mondo poster for the event sold separately following the film. The trailer for FUTURE SHOCK! The Story of 2000AD can be found here.
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with Live Original Score
The most terrifying film of all time will be presented as you have never seen or heard it before. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will be shown remastered in 4K with an original score performed live at MondoCon on Sunday, September 21. Composers Anton Maoif and Umberto created a completely new score for the film over the course of the last year after conceiving of the idea with Death Waltz records at Beyond Fest last October. This is the first time it will be heard anywhere. The film will also play with the live score at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles on September 27.
Death Waltz records has produced the score and will make it available exclusively at the two shows in Austin and LA. Only 800 copies will be created. The exclusive Death Waltz vinyl will be included in the cost of admission. View a trailer for this very special event here and listen to three tracks from new score on Sound Cloud.
Sci-Fi classics Ghost in the Shell and Total Recall (1990) will also have screening events on Saturday, September 20 at MondoCon with brand new Mondo prints included in the cost of admission.
We'll be operating a pop up shop in the parking lot of The Marchesa Hall & Theatre with tons of surprises throughout the convention.
The Iron Giant Mini-Gallery
Celebrating the 15th anniversary of The Iron Giant Mondo will present a mini-gallery with multiple artists taking on the beloved animated classic. To give a tease of what's to come, Mondo is thrilled to unveil the first print of the event from famed comics artist Alex Ross, working with Mondo for the very first time.

Mondo welcomes back beloved Australian artist duo, We Buy Your Kids, for the next gallery show, "Harsh Majical." The show will run from August 29th through September 15th. The opening reception will be Friday, August 29th from 7 –10pm at the Mondo Gallery, located at 4115 Guadalupe St. in Austin, TX.
Sonny Day and Biddy Maroney, the faces behind Sydney-based We Buy Your Kids, are known for their colorful, off-beat design style. They combine hand-made and digital techniques to create their work, often experimenting with color, shape and texture. Their influences include a shared love of comic books, skateboarding, music and film.
The show's title, "Harsh Majical," came from a direct English translation of a Chinese description of WBYK's work. "We felt it might sum up the final outcome, but more importantly describes the fun we've had working on this collection." It will include prints from films previously tackled by Mondo artists, such as Alien and The Fly, but will also introduce some new titles such as White Men Can't Jump and Thrashin'.
"When we started to think about movies for the show, Alien was one of the first that we chose," said WBYK. "We both love it, everyone loves it, it's an all time classic." They had originally gone for a more static, art deco approach to the print, focusing on beautiful designs of the helmet and monster frozen in space. "It didn't quite seem to illustrate the horror of the film, or the tension. Instead we let it rip with a bolder image of the terror inside man."
The show will also feature a softer take on sci-fi horror classic, The Fly. "When I first watched the film, I was surprised at how touching and sad it was. This tenderness was the first thing we wanted to convey in the poster. We zoomed right in so we could focus on those human emotions that run right through the movie, which are often overlooked in favour of the iconic glowing sci-fi, goopy-fleshed imagery," said Day.
In addition to creating prints for Mondo's online store, this will be the second gallery show featuring art from the talented duo. Their first, entitled "Tina's Mom's Boyfriend" (which opened in December of 2012), was a huge success and "Harsh Majical" is expected to be equally bizarre and awesome.
"We are over the moon to have another chance to show our work in their amazing space," said the pair. "We cannot wait to get back to Austin."
We had such a fun time at San Diego Comic-Con this year. As always, it was that perfect balance of excitement and chaos that keeps everyone coming back for more. It was great to meet new fans, catch up with old friends, and get out with a few purchases of our own.
We were so pumped to give you guys a sneak peek at our upcoming toy releases and have special guests come by for poster signings. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth – we hope you had as much fun as we did.
For those of you who couldn't make it this year, we will be selling a few remaining prints, as well as the Batman: The Animated Series 7-inch records, that premiered at SDCC online. Stay tuned to our newsletter for all release information! You can check out a full list of our releases here.

First off, we want to thank everyone who pre-ordered the GRAVITY 2XLP for their patience. We strive to produce the best sounding vinyl possible, and we learned with this release that sometimes that takes a little longer than you can plan for. The good news is they are now shipping! A good portion of you should begin receiving tracking information for your records today. In the meantime, we wanted to show you some photos of what you will be receiving.
We decided on a Blue Sky / Cloud Cover variant for our randomly inserted chase this time around, and it came very nice.

Mondo Gallery is teaming up with Mobile Loaves & Fishes for its first charitable event to feature original paintings and illustrations from talented artists among Austin's homeless. The show will have an opening reception with artists in attendance on Thursday, July 10 from 7 – 10pm and will be on display July 11 and 12, from 12 – 6pm at the Mondo Gallery, located at 4115 Guadalupe Street in Austin, TX. All profits from the sale of the artwork will benefit the artists.
Mobile Loaves & Fishes is a social outreach ministry that empowers communities into a lifestyle of services with the homeless. One of their programs, "Art House," is designed to provide dignified work for those currently on the streets as a means to provide income and an opportunity for change. Operated out of a studio trailer, the Mobile Loaves & Fishes "Art House" equips artists with a place to work as well as art supplies, in addition to providing a safe space where they may also take showers, do laundry, and enjoy a healthy lunch.
"When we first met the artists from the Mobile Loaves & Fishes Art House project we saw a fantastic array of styles and an abundance of unique creative expression. For this gallery show we challenged these artists to share their interpretations of the movies that inspire them. We are thrilled with the results and think you will be too," said Alamo Drafthouse CEO Tim League.
"I am so grateful to Tim League and Mondo for coming along side us to support the artists and Community First!" said Alan Graham, President of Mobile Loaves & Fishes.
"It is a wonderful opportunity to work with the community of artists and supporters here in Austin. Mobile Loaves & Fishes helps the homeless by providing a platform for us to nurture our talents and make income to survive," said artist Aaron Drawdy.
The show will include approximately forty original pieces of artwork from the following artists: Debbie Cantu, Amy Carpenter, UTE Dittemar, Jerry Hurta, Katy Joy Kingdom, Aaron Drawdy, Cathy Carr-Haynes, Clifton Hayes and Michael Walker.
When I first came down to Austin, TX I was obsessed with the Alamo Drafthouse. I watched and got exposed to a ton of movies there, but a major part of my "education" came with just hanging out and watching shit with friends. One of the people I watched the most movies with (and ate the most candy with) was Zack Carlson. I remember the first time I went to his place he had walls and walls of VHS, DVD, etc. It was like the best video store I had ever seen. I remember I watched and was introduced to a lot of my NOW favorite films. Later, I met Joe Ziemba and found his site BLEEDING SKULL and was gifted a copy of his great book about shot on video films of the 80's and 90's.
We are super excited to begin our collaboration with Zack and Joe for their premiere VHS release: CARDS OF DEATH. These guys are truly experts and I hope that if anything, we can recreate that great feeling of finding something new that I had going over to Zack's and digging through his movies and reading Joe's book.
For a long time, we at Mondo were doing posters for movies that we hoped you'd give a watch. Now, by helping Bleeding Skull with their endless pursuit of unearthing these lost films, we can bring these to you directly. I really hope you enjoy and please write and let us know what you think!
- Justin Ishmael
Read a note from Zack & Joe from Bleeding Skull! below:
"We are Joseph A. Ziemba and Zack Carlson, collaborators on the trash-horror film website, BLEEDING SKULL.COM! Together, with the help of our friends at MONDO, we've launched BLEEDING SKULL! VIDEO. Specializing in ultra-obscure, no-budget horror and exploitation movies from the 1980s and early 1990s, BLEEDING SKULL! VIDEO is a VHS and digital streaming label that is dedicated to sharing unreleased (or barely released) movies with the world. Our inaugural title is CARDS OF DEATH. Completed in 1986, the film has never been released in the United States until now. CARDS OF DEATH will be available June 24, 2014 on VHS.
Over the past fifteen years, we've been obsessed with discovering, collecting, and reviewing the world's rarest exploitation films. Joe is the founder of BLEEDING SKULL.COM, the co-author and designer of BLEEDING SKULL! A 1980s TRASH-HORROR ODYSSEY (Headpress, 2013), and an art director/ film programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX. Zack is a film producer and co-author of DESTROY ALL MOVIES!!! THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO PUNKS ON FILM (Fantagraphics Books, 2011). After discovering an unreleased 1980s horror movie by one of our favorite filmmakers in the trunk of a used car, we knew that something had to be done. With Mondo's help, we're devoted to preserving and sharing these discoveries on the format that they were originally meant to be seen.
Each BLEEDING SKULL VIDEO! VHS title is authentically packaged to represent its respective era, from classy big boxes to photocopied clamshell cases. Every release also includes an issue of MINIMUM UNDERDRIVE, an in-depth 'zine that features interviews, rare photos, and artwork specific to each movie. All of our releases will be available online at: BLEEDINGSKULLVIDEO.COM and MONDOTEES.COM. "
CARDS OF DEATH: Written and directed in 1986 by Hollywood veteran W.G. MacMillan (who appeared in the Dirty Harry sequel THE ENFORCER,) this shot-on-video scuzz-sex-slice-and-dicer has long been described as the "holy grail of slasher movies," mostly for its sheer rarity among VHS collectors. Though it was an American production, CARDS OF DEATH was released on VHS exclusively in Japan before disappearing completely, without even a listing on IMDB. The BLEEDING SKULL! VIDEO release of CARDS OF DEATH marks the first release of the movie on home video in the United States. Watch the trailer below:

Monitoring Costs and Occupational Segregation by Sex: A Historical Analysis
AbstractFemale manufacturing workers around 1900 were far more likely to be paid by the piece and were rarely employed at the same occupation in the same firm as males. These and related aspects of work organization can be understood through a model in which workers shirk, monitoring is costly, and males and females have different turnover rates. Employers adopt either piece rates or deferred payment. Occupational segregation by sex and differences in earnings result even if workers are equally productive. Establishment-level data on supervising male and female workers in time- and piece-rate positions are examined.

ExecuJet In Charge of Schoenefeld GA Terminal
Berlin Airports has selected ExecuJet Europe to be the official operator of the new general aviation terminal at Berlin-Schoenefeld Airport. The facility was handed
over to ExecuJet on January 15. ExecuJet, which won a Europe-wide tender to manage the terminal on behalf of the airport company, will be responsible for all business aviation movements at Schoenefeld, although other handling agents can provide service there. In fall 2008, ExecuJet opened a new two-floor, 4,300-sq-ft FBO in the terminal and provides handling services, including fueling and parking. Separately, on January 11, Evo Jet Services started offering full-service handling at Schoenefeld, complementing its operation at the German capital's Tegel Airport. Evo offers discounts on fuel, hotels and ground transportation, in addition to arranging catering and helping with tax-exemption paperwork.

Ileana gave Varun a run for his money as far as dance is concerned
It's a known fact that Varun Dhawan is a fabulous dancer. The man has proved his mettle by showing us some killer moves in various songs from his debut film, Student Of The Year.
But what if we say that Ileana D'Cruz is a better dancer than him? Yes, Ileana, who will be seen opposite Varun in the upcoming film, Main Tera Hero didn't need a choreographer to get grooving to the Besharmi ki height song, we hear.
Bosco-Ceaser, who have choreographed the song first made Ileana and Varun listen to the track and the duo started dancing impromptu. An impressed Bosco decided to include these moves between Varun and Ileana in the song. And hence Ileana was saved from rehearsals and learning the steps.
Directed by David Dhawan, Main Tera Hero also stars Nargis Fakhri. The film will hit the theatres on April 4.

Law Firms
Cadwalader Boosts Bankruptcy Practice
Posted Sep 20, 2007 6:37 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In an ongoing effort to amp up its financial restructuring practice in the U.S. and abroad, Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft has hired another six attorneys this week and plans to add more in London.
That follows the firm's addition of more than a dozen lawyers to the practice area earlier this year, reports Reuters. Cadwalader and other law firms have been gearing up for more bankruptcy business due to increased litigation against banks and other lenders following the subprime mortgage industry meltdown in recent months. The debacle has also resulted in a lack of financing for transactions that has created problems for some companies.
Meanwhile, capital markets partner Karen Gelernt advised fellow attorneys and clients in a briefing today that proper due diligence is critical in corporate transactions, the article continues.
One important tactic that is often overlooked, she noted, is visiting the company in person. However, attorneys should be prepared for potential problems in contentious matters, she added, noting that one lawyer a decade or so ago ended up with slashed tires. Advised Gelernt: "Make sure you have spares."

Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
The initial public offering ("IPO") of
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
's (
) unit Plains GP Holdings LP hit a new mark, raising a total of
$2.82 billion. The IPO by Plains GP Holdings is the largest this
year in the U.S., outpacing
Pfizer Inc.
's (
) animal health unit
Zoetis Inc.
's (
) offering of $2.24 billion.
Plains GP Holdings announced that it has priced its IPO of 128
million Class A shares at $22.00 per share. In Jul 2013, the
partnership had filed the IPO application with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Initially, the partnership
intended to issue 128 million Class A shares in the price band of
$22.00 - $25.00 per share. The unit's Class A common stock will
start trading on the New York Stock Exchange from Oct 16, 2013
under the symbol "PAGP". Plains GP Holdings will act as a
corporation for the U.S. federal income tax related issues.
Per the filing, the partnership will allow the underwriters of
the issue a window of 30 days to purchase up to an additional
19.2 million shares of the Class A common stock of the IPO to
cover over-allotments, if any.
Later, the shareholders of Plains GP Holdings will hold the right
to obtain a part of the earnings from Plains All American
Pipeline in terms of quarterly cash distribution. Initially, the
shareholders are expected to receive 14.9 cents per share as
quarterly distribution.
Plains GP Holdings intends to utilize the net proceeds from this
offering to make distributions to the existing shareholders, and
acquire a stake in the partnership owned by
Occidental Petroleum Corporation
) and Energy & Minerals Group. Currently, Plains All American
Pipeline's long-term debt-to-capitalization ratio is 45.9%. Post
offering, the partnership's long-term debt-to-capitalization
ratio will decline.
The newly formed entity will hold limited partner interests in
Plains AAP, L.P., which owns a 2% general partner stake in Plains
All American Pipeline.
The current transaction will help both the entities to allocate
their assets and restructure existing resources as per their
priorities. We believe this deal will subsequently enable both
the partnerships to concentrate on their strategic preferences
while identifying capacity for future growth.
Houston, Texas-based Plains All American Pipeline is engaged in
transportation, storage, terminalling and marketing of crude oil,
refined products and liquefied petroleum gas and other natural
gas related petroleum products in North America. The partnership
currently has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

cupcakey treats :: in over my head
amazon.com knows i love the book, so it kindly informed me when there was a new one by the same folks. it's called Little Cakes From The Whimsical Bakehouse: Cupcakes, Small Cakes, Muffins and other Mini Treats.
so, i requested it from our local library right away. had to check it out and can't afford to buy all the cookbooks i want, so i get them from the library often. when i got it i was not disappointed. it's as beautiful and whimsical as the first. i loved it.
i made their vanilla cupcakes and house buttercream, decorated like gerbera daisies...or supposed to be. i would include the recipes, but i already returned the book! as you can see, mine are not really fitting the description.
now, here is where the problem begins. it's something about me. how i am. i get a bee in my bonnet about making something or trying something new and i expect myself to be able to get it picture perfect on the first try. i get all twirked when it doesn't look like the picture in the book. i'm so hard on myself. clearly the folks at the WB are talented and have also practiced and practiced and tried new techniques to achieve the results they get.
so, why am i so hard on myself?
i'm not sure. i think it is because i long to be *really* good at something. i have never been a real career oriented person. so, i can't really say i "AM" something...painter, artist, teacher, web designer, engineer or what have you. being a mom is the first thing i have done that gives me any kind of identity or label like that. and i know i am a good mom. i feel proud of that. but i also want something that is just me that i can be good at outside of that.
because, what happens when they are all grown up and don't need me anymore? then who, what am i?

Hospitals Should Look at Best Practices in Food Service Standards
When was the last time your facility looked at tracers in the dietetic and food service areas?
"There have been a number of updates published in recent months on the topic, so it's a good time to take a look at best practices on the topic," says Elizabeth Di Giacomo-Geffers, RN, MPH, CSHA, a healthcare consultant in Trabuco Canyon, CA, and former Joint Commission surveyor.
In terms of Joint Commission standards, the following chapters have the most bearing on dietetic services:
- Emergency Management
- Environment of Care
- Human Resources
- Infection Control
- Patient Care, Treatment, and Services
- Record of Care, Treatment, and Services
Specific EPs to review include: PC.02.02.03, HR.01.04.01, and HR. 01.05.03.
Now let's take a look at CMS' Conditions of Participation (CoP). The CoPs require that a hospital have organized dietary services directed and staffed by adequate personnel. (Note: If your facility has a contract with an outside food management company, keep Joint Commission leadership standards in mind as well.)
What policies are required? Your facility should have and follow a minimum of the following policies and procedures, according to the CMS CoPs:
- Availability of a diet manual and therapeutic diet menus to meet patients' nutritional needs
- Frequency of meals served
- A system for diet ordering and patient trays delivery
- Accommodation of non-routine occurrences—e.g., parenteral nutrition (tube feeding), total parenteral nutrition, peripheral parenteral nutrition, change in diet orders, early/late trays, nutritional supplements, etc.
- Integration of the food and dietetic service into the hospital-wide Quality Assessment and Performance Improvement and Infection Control programs
- Guidelines for acceptable hygiene practices of food service personnel
- Guidelines for kitchen sanitation
All of these policies apply whether the food services are provided by the hospital alone or through a contracted vendor.
Matt Phillion, CSHA, is senior managing editor of Briefings on The Joint Commission and senior editorial advisor for the Association for Healthcare Accreditation Professionals (AHAP).

Santa Pudenziana is probably the oldest Christian church in Rome. It doesn't look interesting at all from the outside, and inside it's pretty plain, but the main attraction here are the 4th century mosaics (they have been restored). The mosaics (considered to be the oldest in Rome) are very impressive and colorful, they depict some religious scene. It's worth a stop for sure, especially if you are visiting Santa Maria Maggiore (short walk from there).Recommended for:History Buffs
If you want to see the best Rome has to offer you in terms of historic churches, save some time to visit Senator Pudenziana, situated on the remains of an ancient senator's house! When you visit, keep in mind that even before the Senator built his home there, the house's location was used for thermal baths. Today, you can appreciate the Byzantine-style mosaic depicting Christ with the apostles and two saints. Look underneath the building, in the crypt, to see the remains of the ancient Roman house. You can visit Santa Pudenziana from 8 AM to noon and from 4 PM to 7 PM daily, though from October to March, it closes at 6 PM.

Fast Approach to Speaker Identification for Large Population Using MLLR and Sufficient Statistics
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
In speaker identification, most of the computational processing time is required to calculate the likelihood of the test utterance of the unknown speaker with respect to the speaker models in the database. When number of speakers in the database is in the order of 10,000 or more, then computational complexity becomes very high. In this paper, the authors propose a Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) based fast method to calculate the likelihood from the speaker model using the MLLR matrix. The proposed technique will help to quickly find the best N speakers during identification.

'Step up and tell the truth' on killings, Ray
NEW ORLEANS -- It would be one thing if Ray Lewis just went out and played football and kept his mouth shut.
Yes, he'd still be a man who played a role in the killing of two young men but at the very least he'd be an innocent in the court of hypocrisy.
Related Items
The Baltimore Ravens linebacker and team leader, however, must rub our faces in the duality of his life lived with his proclamations about God and the path being chosen for him by the Lord.
I didn't bring up the subject and conflicting message of Ray then and Ray now.
Ray did with his incessant preaching following games and during one sitdown interview after another. Ray Lewis wants you to know he his good and he is righteous.
And since he wants us to listen to his perspective about the effect God has had on his life, let's take a moment to investigate the topic.
Is Ray Lewis truly a changed man? Or is he a con man systematically sanitizing his image in an attempt to make us all look the other way? Should we praise Lewis for his community work and certain Hall of Fame career? Or should we pay a little more attention to his role in the brutal stabbing deaths of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker.
No one, other than Lewis himself, really knows the truth. Is Ray repentant? Almost certainly. Has he changed for the better? Appearances would suggest so.
"I'm in awe of the work that God can do in one man's life. To me, Ray's the epitome of that," said Ravens coach John Harbaugh, following his team's AFC championship win over the New England Patriots. "Ray's a guy that has turned everything over. He's surrendered everything, and he's become the man that he is to this day. He's a different man than he was when he was at 22 or 15 or whatever. I think everybody sees that right now. I think it's a great thing for kids to see. It's a great thing for fathers to see."
This isn't the place for a treatise on Christianity but forgiveness is one of the faith's cornerstones.
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness," says the Bible.
That's where Ray kind of loses me. Maybe he's confessed to God but he certainly hasn't come clean to the law, public or victims' families.
"Step up and be the man you claim you are," said Baker's uncle Greg Wilson in an interview with the Buffalo News last week. "Step up and tell the truth and quit portraying yourself to the children of America like you're a hero. You ain't no hero. You ain't s . Tell the truth, and take it like a man."
Lewis wrote cheques to the victims' families rather than face a civil trial and then began cleansing his image using the Bible as his personal scrub brush.
It's mostly worked. Football fans like to focus on Lewis's career, which is near incomparable. Folks in Baltimore point to the wonderful work he's done in their community. No argument here. Lewis is among the greatest to ever play football. Instinctive. Fierce. Committed. No team would say no to Ray Lewis on matters of football.
His foundation has helped thousands. Lewis has had a tremendous impact on the people of Baltimore.
Maybe Lewis really has made his peace with God.
But forgiveness is a funny thing. It can be a crutch or a cure-all.
There is work to be done when it comes to righting one's wrongs and to me it should start with those who have been done wrong.
"It's sickening to see (Lewis)," Wilson said. "It's sickening to see his face. It's sickening to see his name and everybody glorifying him. It's disgusting to see America grasp him like this."
That doesn't sound like a family at peace. A family given the opportunity to address the perpetrators and crimes inflicted upon them. Lewis could make that happen. He had the chance once but skirted it and used money to try and absolve his guilt. He failed.
Lewis is heading to retirement and a new chapter in his life. Maybe he can start by closing another.
That would be something worth praising.

Hey John,
I'll be bringing Rusty ('49FCUB) with the Mott mower mounted underneath and a one way turning plow. Dad is bringing Bingo ('48FCUB) with a set of cultivators mounted underneath.

I am thinking of bringing my Cub with the belly disk plow that I bought down there last year. The same one I brought to Red Power. I will also bring my Cub Cadet Original I just bought. CHUCK
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.
Good Boy!!!!!!

Won't be going this year, but y'all be on the watch for BigDog's stealth trailer and tracking devices!!!!!
I may be old but I got to see all the cool bands
A 66 Lo-Boy and 4 early Cub Cadets.
You don't have to take an empty trailer, but it's best not to take a full one so there's room for something new to follow you home

ANGEL ISLAND Immigrants left their marks: Poems were carved into the Bay
The California state Parks Department and a nonprofit foundation have begun a $50 million project to restore Angel Island's Imigration Station during an era when it was U.S. government policy to drastically limit the number of Chinese and Asian immigrants.
Hundreds of heartfelt poems were carved into the walls by those detained there. As much as anything, it will be the poems that provide a window into the station's past.
Hundreds of heartfelt poems were carved into the walls by those detained there. As much as anything, it will be the poems that provide a window into the station's past.
"Here, we actually have talking walls," said Erika Gee, director of education for the San Francisco-based Angel Island Immigration Station Foundation, which is raising private funds for the project.
Some of the poems were written with pencil or brush nearly 100 years ago. Others were carved using a classical Chinese technique, deep into the wooden walls -- most likely by a professional carver. Many of the poems were written in the Tang dynasty style of regulated verse and couplets.

A Chettinad mansion is impossible to describe in words. The incredible detail, the opulence of the materials used in its construction, and the remarkable design all combine to make this a unique architectural achievement not found elsewhere.
By far the main attraction of Madurai is the great Sree Meenakshi Temple. This awe-imposing monument is the finest example of Dravidian temple architecture on this planet. Its Hall of a Thousand Pillars is a fabulous collection of elaborately sculpted and painted deities as well as other creatures from Hindu religious annals.

The extraordinary craftsmanship of the Taj Malabar can be envied even from the still, soothing backwaters of Kerala. As soon as you step into the lobby, you immediately feel calmed by the dark mahogany wood ceilings and soft lighting. The room's design will remind you of a romantic 1940s film.
The hotel's pool is a mixture of water and garden. The negative edge pool appears to melt seamlessly into the languid Cochin bay. From many angles, it is impossible to see where the pool ends and the sea begins. This pool paradise is the perfect place to read a book or bathe in the sun.
Whether enjoying yoga by the poolside in the morning, or a romantic sunset dinner with a loved one, it is a sanctuary of peace.
Meanwhile, it's a new radio collar now for tigress T-5 in Sariska. The radio collar on the tigress was changed by a team of WII, Dehradun, on Tuesday morning as the old one had become defunct.
The restaurants make you feel as if you've stepped into another world. Whether snacking at the hotel bar, Mattancherry, or sipping an exotic drink and listening to the soothing sounds of a live pianist, you are guaranteed to be surrounded by a luxurious ambiance.
Kalaripayattu, the martial art form of Kerala, is regarded as the oldest and most scientific of its kind in the world. Training in combat is given at the kalari (training school). The principles of kalari education stipulate that training in martial art begins with an oil massage of the body which goes on until the body is agile and supple. Feats like chaattom (jumping), ottam (running), marichil (somersault), etc., are then taught, followed by lessons in the use of weapons such as daggers, swords, spears, maces, the bow and arrow, and so on.
Kalaripayattu training is aimed at the ultimate coordination of the mind and body. The traditional training in a kalari includes specialization in indigenous medical practice too. Kalaris are also centers of religious worship. The general guidelines to be followed in kalaripayattu demand that once the course is complete, a person should undergo oil massage and engage in the practice of the feats regularly to help him keep in shape.

Claire Smith's thriller has the crowd on their feet
Updated 1:12pm Wednesday 25th June 2014 in Sport By Chris Phillips
RAYLEIGH'S Claire Smith brought the crowd to life with her entertaining bout against Lisa McCallum.
But she was unable to condemn her impressive opponent to her first ever defeat despite going toe to toe with her for all three rounds.
"I loved the fight and although I was disappointed with losing I really gave it everything I had," said Smith.
"The atmosphere was crazy and it went mad when I got in the cage.
"I have never fought a fight with that much support and it made it really special."
Despite the defeat, Smith also took great encouragement from her performance against the UK's number one ranked fighter.
"I knew Lisa was going to be tough and she really was but I went three rounds with her and I'm really proud of myself for that," said Smith.
"My next fight is now scheduled to be at UWC in October and I can't wait to get back in that cage."

Yes, so the 1 PID system is how I am going to go. With a $300 prebuild control for the Boil Kettle, I cant justify the extra $$ on the 2 PID Control.
So, the plan is -
1 PID/RTD monitering the mash temp at the exit of the HEX, controlling the element in the HLT.
2 pumps; 1 recirq the HLT water 1 Recirq the Mash.
2 110v outlets for the pumps
1 220 outlet for the element.
Will order the DIY Kit from eBrewSupply, and have him upgrade it to all push-button lighted switches. And will figure out how to wire it so the element can not be turned on with out the HLT Recirq pump running.
"The ART of brewing Beer, is the ACT of brewing Beer"
Ferm 1 - Amber Ale
Ferm 2
On Deck - Milk/Coffee Stout

Total Gallons brewed (2014) - 10
New pics of HLT, about to ship.
looking good there
Is that a boil kettle with weldless fittings and a 50ft stainless wort chiller built in?!? Is that an electric heating element in there too?!?
Deployed until Nov, then have to build the HERMS controller...that is why it will be first of the year

Those who are interested in the preservation of a stretch of forest that includes Hillsborough–or just like to see their home town on film–may be interested in the trailer attached to this article.
The 3 minute, 15 second video gives a look into
The film was created by independent film director Jared Flesher, who has been on a recent campaign to create awareness of his film about the region which, he hopes, will open people's eyes as to the importance of a healthy ecosystem in regards to farming, economics and the environment at large. The Sourlands are a 17-mile stretch of forest that encompasses towns such as Hillsborough, Princeton and everywhere in between.
