The status quo for the superhero/comic book movie genre is that Marvel Studios and Warner Bros./DC adaptations are different beasts - the former's output continues to tow the line of light-hearted entertainment, with both its "Phase 2" films and ABC's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV series. Meanwhile, the latter has embraced a more serious approach with the aesthetics/themes of its budding shared universe (see: Man of Steel), following its failed attempt to branch into Marvel's tongue in cheek territory with 2011's Green Lantern.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier is the next Marvel Studios project that will open in theaters, but despite its contemporary political overtones the film offers it share of the company's trademark humor, as evidenced by the healthy amount of cheeky dialogue and one-liners featured in the Cap sequel's marketing footage.
Badass Digest's Devin Faraci recently got a chance to pick Marvel President of Production Kevin Feige's brain about the creative side of his company's business (see: calls for increased diversity in terms of the studios' films' headliners). Their conversation included a discussion of the contrasting philosophies for Marvel and DC, with Feige saying that "I like them both" - a PR-friendly sentiment, sure, but one that's been expressed by many a comic book movie fan, at this point.
Feige went on to discuss how he enjoys being able to defy people's expectations:
"I like suprising people. I think people were surprised by how, for lack of a better word, funny Iron Man Three was, or how funny Thor: The Dark World was. Going by the trailers people asked me, 'Are you going gritty now?' Even this movie - there's humor, thankfully in [The Winter Soldier]."
Iron Man 3 was marketed as being a more psychologically-complex examination of Tony Stark and modern terrorism, while the cast and crew of Thor: The Dark World talked up the film as being director Alan Taylor's (a former executive producer on Game of Thrones) more rough and tumble take on the Thor fantasy universe. For better or worse, that's not really what we got - the former is essentially part Iron Man movie, part PG-13 Rated Shane Black joint, while The Dark World is basically the Thor franchise's equivalent of a Flash Gordon-esque serial adventure (with greater self-awareness).
The teaser trailer for this summer's Guardians of the Galaxy - Marvel Studios' first full expedition into the more extravagant cosmic realm of the Marvel Film Universe - differs from marketing for the other "Phase 2" releases, as it paints the project as being completely aware of (and embracing) its innate goofiness. However, Feige believes that many a moviegoer will be taken back by what James Gunn's film actually has to offer:
"I think the surprise in Guardians will be that it looks like a weird, zany movie - and it is! - but we're attempting to do, what James [Gunn] is attempting to do, is make it a somber movie in places and a shockingly emotional movie in places. That's the idea of the roller coaster ride when you go to the movies."
This isn't the first we've hear of Guardians' purported emotional depth. Previously, Gunn emphasized that his offbeat superheroes-in-space flick has strong familial themes and offers an uncynical perspective on the importance of caring for others as much (if not more) than yourself. Similarly, part of what Vin Diesel claims attracted him to the project - to play the role of anthropomorphic alien tree Groot - was the script's version of (as he put it) a "different kind of love story," reminiscent of the relationships that serve as the backbone for Diesel's Fast and the Furious movies.
No worries, Vin - we've been Team Rocket Raccoon/Groot since Day 1.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier opens in U.S. theaters on April 4th, 2014.
Guardians of the Galaxy reaches U.S. theaters on August 1st, 2014.

It's hard to keep up with the latest food trends, the latest fad diets, and the latest health crazes, but what if we actually visited someone who could help us to better understand what we should be eating in a day?
We did some research to learn more about Dieticians and what they can really offer us.
First and foremost, dieticians are registered nutrition experts who are trained to help us with our overall health and wellness. They are able to coach us through our daily diets and learn about lifestyle changes we can make to improve our eating habits; they help us to set goals and to follow through on them. Dieticians can help us to steer clear of the fad diets and to understand practical solutions to unhealthy eating habits, resulting in long term results and and overall improvement to our physical health.
I think we all know how difficult it can be to understand the labels we find on our food; how is one ever supposed to fully understand a list of ingredients we can't even pronounce?! Luckily, registered dieticians can help us to read labels and fully understand what we should be getting from our foods. When we understand the labels we are given, it is much easier to stay on track and feed our bodies with proper nutrients.
It's also important to realize that changing our diets doesn't necessarily mean we have to miss out on our favourite foods. Dieticians can help us to adapt our favourite recipes to better suit our diets, therefore keeping us healthy and happy!
Registered Dieticians don't only work with clients one on one, they also work with families, communities, and professionals to develop healthy eating habits and to set reasonable health goals. They help patience who are in long term care, and they help hospitals, and nursing homes to maintain healthy menus for their residents. Further to that, Dieticians can work with corporations to develop a corporate wellness plan for you and your employees.
As an added bonus, Registered Dieticians are covered under your Chambers of Commerce Group Insurance Plan! If you'd like to learn more about your coverage, contact us today. if you'd like to learn more about Dietitians, click here.

Ill Nino has been out on the road with the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival and besides wooing fans of the old, they guys have been working diligently to win some new hearts on tour, despite the difference in their sound from their contemporaries. Since 1998 Ill Nino has been bringing melody infused Latin metal to the masses, banging heads and breaking boundaries across the entertainment industry. What many best remember these New Jersey head bangers for is their contribution to the 2003 horror showdown film Freddy vs Jason, which featured their single "How Can I Live" off the album Confession. Even after their cinematic success, Ill Nino never rested, going on to release four more studio albums, a 5-track EP, a video album and a "best of" record. Now, the men of Ill Nino are back at with the release of Till Death, La Familia, which is more of a love letter to their fans than an independent statement. The title alone clues you in to the heart of this record and each track tells its own story. Before the album release, we got a chance to chat with front man Cristian Machado to talk about the madness of being chosen for Mayhem, making friends on tour and what feeds their creative process.
How do you guys feel about playing Mayhem this year?
CM: We are more than grateful. It's been a very long time since we had the chance to bring the Latin metal jungle groove to such large American audiences. The Mayhem Festival is certainly the best American touring metal festival and we're just thrilled to be honest with you. Our label Victory Records really did a great job along with our manager Dave to get this accomplished. We are looking forward to putting on an intense show and making some new fans out there.We hope to see out fans having a good time with us. Our slot is 2:45 every day and I think while it will be challenging with the heat it's a great time of the day to listen to some ILL NIÑO.
Is there anyone you were especially looking forward to seeing or getting to know?
CM: Lots of good friends in this tour including our label mates Emmure, our OG label mates Trivium, and also Suicide Silence. Can't say enough great things about those bands. Also, our homies from Korn and just great dudes. Stoked to see Head back in the band. I actually became a huge fan of his band Love & Death. I felt his album was genius and, well, I hope he brings that style back into Korn. Always interested in seeing what Ice-T is up too and being in the same tour is gonna be pretty cool. I can't say I was a fan of Body Count, but to be honest, I'm kinda digging "Talk Sh*t, Get Shot", it's a lyric that would certainly get a message across pretty clearly and I like that.
How do you feel playing with bands known to be, categorically, a little heavier?
CM: I dig it. We've been very lucky throughout our career. This band has the ability to cross genres and play with bands of many different styles and heaviness. It's not the first time we've played festivals or toured with crashing bands and to be honest with you, we not only welcome it, we enjoy it. I am a huge heavy music fan and while I now listen to everything and anything that is "good", there was a time in my life when I played only death metal. When most kids were listening to Nirvana's "Nevermind", I was listening to "Cause of Death", "Leprosy", and "Effigy of the Forgotten". If I have to name what bands those albums came from and you play heavy music, well, you should be ashamed of yourself. Since then you can say that I sold my soul to the Latin metal jungle groove gods but, I am still a proud old-schooler till this day.
What can fans expect from the new album?
CM: I personally feel it's a really great album with a lot of intense songs. I am sure it'll surprise some people, but the element of surprise sometimes is a good thing. We don't claim to reinvent the wheel but we do intend to always release refreshing music on every new album. Love us or hate us we've been around for a long time and part of the appeal to our band is the ability to seek new creative approaches with every album. That's not to say that we don't continue to carry nostalgia for our past musical approaches, we do, but to put it plainly we want to grow as musicians and expand our creative abilities. I can say honestly that this album is one that I could listen to and actually enjoy. I think many of our fans will feel the same.
How do you usually go about putting together an album?
CM: We usually practice very different approaches with each new album. On this particular album we had a very strict deadline so we didn't have much room to constantly rethink. I think this was a great thing and it allowed us to be spontaneous and also allowed the music & lyrics to be intuitive. As musicians, we can easily get caught up in second-guessing Ourselves which usually leads to a lot of procrastination. This time around it was not so. I give a lot of credit to the guys in the band for writing great songs. The tracks they wrote truly captured a special place in my creative mind and I think at one point or another we were all running with the ball. Having Eddie Wohl around for this album was a gift and this album would definitely not have been done on time without his immense help. In the past we've all been very involved with many of the recording details that go into making an album but this time we all remained pretty focused on only the music. I really hope everyone enjoys the album as much as we do.
How hands on are you, as a band, in development and post-production?
CM: Most of the time we are very hands-on and to a certain extent you could say we are a very demanding band to work with. Ahrue and Laz certainly put a lot of time into production for their songs and Dave as well put a lot of time into approving mixes with Eddie Wohl. We do allow each other plenty of creative room and we're not the kind of band that's constantly down each other's throats. Every member of the band plays a very crucial role and we don't intend on changing that. Sometimes we may disagree about certain things but that's what makes a band a band. If we all shared the same brain our music would possibly be dull and unoriginal. There's a lot that we learn from each other during his particular type of process and it is a great advantage that helps us grow individually as musicians.
What is your favorite part of the creative process?
CM: My favorite part of the process is writing music or lyrics. Everything else about it is very tedious and even though this album was very easy for me to personally record I sometimes wish I had a clone that could just record it for me. That's not to say that I don't think recording it is fun sometimes but for me the writing process is just a lot more fun.
What is your favorite song off the new album?
CM: "Blood is Thicker Than Water".
What do you guys have lined up for the rest of 2014?
CM: Lots of cool stuff. We'll also be doing a South American tour soon after Mayhem. We'll be in Europe, UK, and Russia in November. We just launched our updated website: illnino.com – link up with us on Facebook and on Instagram (@illninoofficial) – Till Death, La Familia. Pick it up!

South Carolina's Steve Spurrier takes SEC Media Days by storm
In typical Steve Spurrier fashion, the South Carolina football coach's appearance Tuesday at SEC Media Days was appointment viewing.
He opened, as he usually does, with a joke.
"A lot of familiar faces out there after a lot of years coming to this event," Spurrier said. "I figured a bunch of you guys would have retired by now."
Spurrier said last season was a disappointing one for the Gamecocks, who struggled during the middle portion of the season and wound up 7-6 overall in 2014.
Optimism runs high that South Carolina will rebound and contend for the SEC East division title this fall.
"We got rejuvenated," Spurrier said. "We got new life. We were 7-6, same as Tennessee and the same as Arkansas, and I think they're sort of celebrating big seasons last year. So, we were celebrating also. We were doing some cartwheels and high-fiving after that Independence Bowl game (against Miami) because it was a year that could have gone real south, and guys hung in there and somehow or another found a way to win the game."
Here are other highlights from Spurrier's half-hour with the media:
On the Gamecocks' quarterback battle with Connor Mitch, Perry Orth, Michael Scarnecchia and freshman Lorenzo Nunez:
"I know you can't get four ready to play, but we'll have maybe some plays for Lorenzo Nunez and the other guys. I've been a coach to play two quarterbacks. I think you all know that, and you can win with two. There's nothing in the rule book that says you have to have one."
On handling elite recruits with excessive hype:
"You handle them a little differently. As (legendary UCLA basketball) coach John Wooden used to say, he treats everybody the way they deserve to be treated. Every now and then, I'll tell the player, are we going to have to put you on the (Jadeveon) Clowney program?"
On if he's considering retirement and how he keeps his sanity after so many seasons as a football coach:
"Same way you sports writers do it, I think. Yeah, I really think the program I own helps to hang around a long time. Somebody said, why are you still coaching? I said, well, I forgot to get fired, and I'm not going to cheat. That's about the way you lose your job."
On if he's considered an exit strategy:
"I breezed right through age 60, breezed right through 65, and I'm going to try my best to breeze right on through 70. I can still remember just about everything. So mentally, I think I'm the same as I was. We got two people running for president, I think Hillary (Clinton) and Donald Trump are both 69, I believe. Coach (Mike Krzyzewski) at Duke, he's still doing pretty good at, I think 69 also. So the age really doesn't mean a lot. The number on your years is not what's important. It's whether you can function physically, emotionally, mentally, get your team ready to play. That's what's important. We've got some goals there that we've not hit yet. That retirement thing, I don't think I'd be very good at it."
[Editor's note: Clinton is actually 67 and Krzyzewski is 68.]
Not everything was a laughing matter for Spurrier, who also addressed the recent political controversy in South Carolina.
On the Charleston church shootings and ensuing controversy about the Confederate flag:
"It was a tragedy, obviously, nine innocent people to be killed like that. I applaud our governor (Nikki Haley) for setting the initiative to remove the flag, and obviously it was received very well by just about everyone in our state and around the country. Obviously, all of us in college sports, we know the importance of equality, race relations, everybody getting along. So certainly, I think all the coaches all over — I know all over South Carolina was happy and glad to see the flag come down."

I decided to grab a few LMs from my folder of "places I found and really like and want to blog someday" and, you know, actually blog them. The system works!
Herbalys - designer Albert Beerbaum has put together a fantastical, whimsical, and really really well-done stock of items, mostly decorative in nature. He has some really fun (almost Seussical) trees available, as well as the pond set included in the first group of pictures, below. Great use of sculpts and awesome texturing make this a must-see shop - and those purple curtains alone make it a must-buy shop! The little ceramic (or stone maybe) owl is just precious - I think I'll definitely need one of those for the windmill!
Kidd Garden - I am a big fan of really awesome landscaping items, and am especially drawn to grasses and wildflowers that really bring depth to a large open area. I've blogged several of my favorites in the past, and now I add Kidd Garden to the list! Created by doP Kidd, Kidd Garden offers just a ton of really amazing landscaping options. One of my favorite things is how the basic grasses are sold - you'll see in the first pic below that the grasses are offered in various shapes to give a really 3d option to your space. That pic only shows just a few of the various sizes/shapes - there are many more! In addition to great grasses and wildflowers, there are also quite a few really nice structures, stepping stone sets, and bridges. Plus, the sim is set up so nicely with all the products on display, you'll just want to wander around in the fields picking flowers and soaking up the fresh air. Or something. :)
As I was preparing this post, I got notice of new releases from The Loft - so, while clearly The Loft is not a new place for me to blog ;) - you know I have to share the goodness!
I believe the Krissy Shelves are completely brand new, and the Mayer Chaise was previously released in a single color for the Haiti fundraiser. Lots and lots of colors are available now, and I gotta say that this chaise is THE best I've seen on the grid. The curves are perfect, and (of course) the texturing is amazing. I bought the Haiti relief edition, which is an olive green -- and I think I'm gonna need at least one more color! The zebra stripe is sassy, I may have my eye on that one. ;)

Our agricultural roots run deep. It all started in Italy over a hundred years ago.
view interactive timeline of sangiacomo family history
Our family has always felt a deep connection to the land -- most especially through farming. It all began in Genoa, Italy where a good day's work for our grandfather Vittorio Sangiacomo started and ended in the field. He voyaged to America in 1913 on the advice of our great grandfather and got his first job at age 17 in the vegetable fields at Bay Farm Island in Alameda County, California. Shortly thereafter he began working in the scavenger industry in San Francisco where he later successfully launched his own business. But he longed to return to working the land and in 1927, he purchased a 52-acre fruit tree ranch in Sonoma Valley.
Today, we call that the Home Ranch.
Our grandfather's next move was to settle down and start a family. In 1928 he married our grandmother Maria, a hard-working and warm-hearted woman, who had also immigrated from Genoa, Italy. Together they raised four children ---- Angelo (our father), Bob, Buck and Lorraine ---all of whom learned the business the hard way, working in the fields after school and each summer.
Our family struggled through the Great Depression and then slowly built the business until we became the largest pear-growing farmers in Sonoma County. But over time the market for pears began to crash. In order for us to survive as a family business we had no choice but to switch gears and jump headlong into grapegrowing. We tested the water in 1969 when we planted our first vineyard. By the late 1980s, the conversion from pear trees to grapes was complete.
Vittorio passed away in 1987 and Maria in 1995 and shortly thereafter we --- Mike and Whitney Sangiacomo, Steve and Connie Sangiacomo, and Mia and Mike Pucci --- joined the family business. As the third generation of the family, we run the day-to-day operations, yet draw heavily upon the daily support and knowledge of our parents Angelo and Diane, Uncle Buck and his wife Sue, and Aunt Lorraine. Our two generations work side-by-side every single day to make decisions and keep the ball rolling.
We are proud to continue our family's farming tradition. We would not be where we are today without the knowledge and values we learned from our grandparents, parents, uncles and aunt. And we continue to plant seeds to enable future generations of our family to build upon this legacy.

The City of Experiences
How are smart cities responding to the changing global technology landscape?
Five out of the 6 major smart city projects we analysed for this report — Dubai, Singapore, New York, Barcelona, London and Vienna — has released revised smart city strategy in the past year.
The revised strategies are not tackling new technology. To maintain agile and innovative, the smart city elite are moving away from technology. The smart city vision of the next decade is one of experiences.
The smart city of the next decade will be defined by experiences.
In Singapore, city leaders are pivoting aware from digital city services — mission complete — and focusing efforts on social services such as healthcare, education and mobility.
To inject innovation and agility into the initiative, Singapore is opening its smart city program to encourage contributions from the general public and the private sector, under the SmartNation's new tagline, "Many smart ideas, one smart nation."
As it moves beyond digital city services, Singapore is redefining its vision of a smart city as one where "people are empowered by technology to lead meaningful and fulfilled lives."
New York City, under a new Mayor, is pouring investment into the Internet of Things to create a Smart and Equitable city. Guided by Mayor Bill de Blasio's vision for a "strong and just city," the New York's updated smart city strategy will deliver smart initiatives ranging from wireless water meters, to real-time gunshot detection, to snow plow tracking, to deliver improve city experiences to all residents, proving "that connected technologies can help improve government services and better the lives of all New Yorkers and communities across the five boroughs."
Barcelona has announced the next chapter of its digital transformation, setting straightforward vision, to "make life better for people."
Absent the pressures of technology proofs, digital blueprints, and initiative roadmaps, a vision that is focused on positive city experiences is giving smart city leaders the flexibility to explore emerging technologies, try and discard new approaches, and change directions when or as needed, towards achieving a goal that everyone in the city can get behind: a better life.
Dubai, who has been steadily investing in developing its knowledge economy since the early 2000's, has staked a claim as an early pioneer of this new approach to smart cities.
The Smart Dubai initiative, launched by the Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, in March of 2014, made a splash in the international smart city arena with a bold new vision: to make Dubai the happiest city on earth.
(Smart city darling Barcelona, in the same period, was operating under a remarkably disconsonant vision, to achieve "many slow cities inside one smart city.")
Guided for three years now by this unique vision, the Smart Dubai initiative has effectively managed to deliver the same benefits that most smart city initiatives were promising in the 2013-2014 era: Internet of Things, open data, city platforms, and simultaneously adopt new strategies to deliver impactful new technologies well ahead of the curve. Dubai's smart city initiative announced a citywide strategy to champion blockchain in October 2016; and in early 2017 announced a similarly comprehensive program to expand artificial intelligence capabilities for services and processes across the city.
Singapore, Barcelona, New York and Dubai represent a new vanguard of smart city programs that have moved beyond ICT technology. For these pioneering cities, the future lies in smarter experiences, not smarter technology.
The Future of Smart Cities
Half a century ago, at the Community Analysis Bureau in Los Angeles, the first smart city initiative stumbled into obsolesce.
The early promise of the CAB, to harness computational power to uplift standards of living for everyone in city, gave way to bureaucratic accounting, piecemeal demands for new programs and incremental initiatives with little value to show for the effort. Absent a unifying vision for public good to motivate stakeholders, and left instead with only its technological capabilities, the initiative didn't survive its first decade.
As today's crop of global smart cities confront the 10-year milestone, the route to longevity is clear: to build a resilient smart city, forget about the technology. Focus on the people.

Death comes in many forms,

it comes at dawn and noon and dusk
its final tryst to keep.

Acclaimed band, The Travelin' McCourys have started a new chapter in their book with the announcement that their guitar chair will be permanently filled by long-time friend and fan favorite, Cody Kilby. It's a fitting call, given that Kilby — a veteran of the national bluegrass scene since appearing on the IBMA Awards Show in 1993 as a member of the Bluegrass Youth All-Stars with fellow teenagers like Chris Thile — was the guitarist on the Travelin' McCourys debut appearance at the Wintergrass festival. Since then, a distinguished and varied group of guests have toured with the McCourys— the list ranges from bluegrass stalwarts like Jeff White and Ronnie Bowman to edgier pals like Keller Williams, The Infamous Stringdusters' Andy Falco, and String Cheese Incident's Billy Nershi — with Kilby enjoying the role of most frequent. Prior to today's announcement, Kilby spent 14 years as a member of Ricky Skaggs' award-winning Kentucky Thunder and as a sought-after studio player, most recently on Beck's Grammy winner, Morning Phase.
With the addition of Kilby, the Travelin' McCourys — bluegrass Hall of Famer Del McCoury's sons Ron (mandolin) and Rob (banjo), along with Del McCoury Band colleagues Jason Carter (fiddle) and Alan Bartram (bass) — serve notice that they are ready for the next steps down the musical road they've been paving alongside the Del McCoury Band in recent years. "I guess we had our 'a-ha' moment at DelFest this year," says Ron McCoury. "We were on stage Saturday night and it was like a light bulb went on — with Cody, we really have the perfect combination. Don't get me wrong, we enjoy featuring guests and still plan to collaborate at times, but from now on, Cody will be involved in all of those shows. He is a great player, and fits perfectly with what we do - straddling the fence between traditional and progressive. No matter what we throw at him, he can handle it."
Here's some video from that pivotal 'a-ha' moment – The Travelin' McCourys cover 'Loser'
With a full schedule of Del McCoury Band appearances interwoven with the Travelin' McCourys calendar, the quintet's got a long and busy road ahead. As they look down it, the Travelin' McCourys know they've got everyone they need to get them where they want to go.
Continuing on the path of creating, over 5 years ago the McCourys launched what they call The Bluegrass Ball (which in the past have included guests like Jeff Austin, Billy Nershi and Michael Kang of String Cheese Incident, The Lee Boys, and others) The Travelin' McCourys embark Wednesday for nine shows in 11 days starting in Iowa, and ending in South Carolina. They will have Drew Emmitt and Andy Thorn from Leftover Salmon along for this run of Bluegrass Balls. See the full schedule below.

On this auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan make these Burfis which are soft, creamy and melts in mouth. Make them for your loving brother and I am sure you will notice a big smile on his face, a perfect way to celebrate festival.
We wont get mawa in uk. So I have made mawa with ricotta cheese.
To make mawa, ricotta cheese is mixed with milk powder and cooked in ghee till it forms soft dough.
Usually ricotta cheese is made by boiling milk, heavy cream and salt. Then lemon juice is added to it and the milk gets curdled. The curds are then drained on a muslin cloth. The remaining milk curd mixture is called ricotta cheese.
I have not added saffron, as it was not available for me.😞
Malai Burfi
250 grams ricotta cheese/mawa (makes approx 12 pieces)
1 1/2 cups milk powder
1/4 cup sugar (add more if required)
1 tablespoon ghee
1 teaspoon milk
1 teaspoon cardamam powder (elaichi)
1 tablespoon chopped pistachios
1 tablespoon chopped almonds (badam)
Few saffron strands (kesar)
1. Mix few saffron strands in 1 teaspoon warm milk and keep aside.
2. In a bowl, add ricotta cheese and milk powder. Mix well.
3. Heat ghee in a non stick pan, add the prepared ricotta cheese mixture and saffron. Cook on medium low flame by stirring continously until the mixture starts leaving the sides of the pan and forms soft dough.
4. Cool the dough till it reaches lukewarm. Then add sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well till the sugar melts.
5. Transfer the mixture on to a greased tray and press firmly. Make approximately 2 inches thick burfis.
6. Let the burfis sit for 2 hours before cutting into squares. Garnish with pistachios, almonds and saffron strands.

Sarah & Jamie's E-Session At Dalkeith Counry Park
From the minute I picked Sarah & Jamie up to the minute I dropped them off I don't think any of us stopped laughing. The hour seemed to fly by! We headed into Dalkeith Country Park as it was a little breezy to say the least so the park offered some welcome shelter. Right from the get go, Sarah and Jamie just ran with it and had a blast. I was quite happy not saying to much as they were doing such a great job on their own. Just brilliant!

St John of the Cross, O.C.D. was a major figure of the Counter-Reformation, a Spanish mystic, a Carmelite friar and a priest, and a Doctor of the Church. St. John of the Cross was a reformer of the Carmelite Order and is considered, along with Saint Teresa of Ávila, as a founder of the Discalced Carmelites. He is also known for his writings. Both his poetry and his studies on the growth of the soul are considered the summit of mystical Spanish literature and one of the peaks of all Spanish literature.
More about St. John of the Cross in the Catholic Encyclopedia
Works by St John of the Cross:
Ascent of Mount Carmel (pdf)
One of St. John of the Cross' most important and insightful works, Ascent of Mount Carmel is a brilliant work of Christian mysticism. Considered one of the great Spanish poets, St. John depicts the soul's ascent to Mount Carmel–allegorically, the place of God–and the "dark night" that the soul must endure to reach it. St. John describes the different mystic experiences the soul encounters on its way to union with God through the dark night. Although St. John continues to describe the dark night in Dark Night of the Soul, the sequel to Ascent of Mount Carmel, this book provides a hauntingly beautiful, profound, and mystical account of Christian spirituality.
Dark Night of the Soul (pdf)
A sequel and continuation of Ascent of Mount Carmel, the Dark Night of the Soul is a spiritually moving and mystical book. In it, St. John of the Cross continues his description of the soul's journey–the "dark night"–to the "divine union of the love of God." A poet at heart, St. John describes the journey and the union with beautifully rich and deeply symbolic language. However, St. John does not simply describe the journey; he seems at times to be offering encouragement and comfort directly to readers as they too struggle with the excruciating dark night. Offering hope to the downtrodden and discouraged, the Dark Night of the Soul is one of the most difficult books a person can read, but its difficulty is surpassed by its reward. One of the most profound works of Christian mysticism, this book is highly recommended for those seeking union with God.

MANCHESTER, New Hampshire (Reuters) - It was Mitt Romney's turn in the spotlight, and his Republican presidential rivals helped make sure it was successful.
At their first major debate on Monday night, the Republican White House contenders bypassed several chances to take aim at Romney and chip away at his front-runner status in the still forming 2012 nominating battle.
Instead, the polite face-to-face encounter offered the former Massachusetts governor a friendly platform to defend his support of the state's healthcare law free of criticism — and he took advantage.
U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann also performed well in her White House campaign debut as she announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.
"It was a good night for Mitt Romney, nobody laid a glove on him," said Fergus Cullen, the former chairman of the New Hampshire Republican Party. "And Bachmann stood out in a field where most of the candidates blend together."
None of the six other candidates participating in the debate even tried to lay a glove on Romney, choosing instead to focus on selling themselves and attacking Obama.
Tim Pawlenty, the mild-mannered conservative former governor of Minnesota, sidestepped several opportunities to criticize Romney's Massachusetts healthcare law, a precursor to Obama's national plan and an object of derision for conservatives.
Pawlenty's polite refusal early in the debate to engage his rival on the issue face-to-face came one day after he mocked Romney's plan on national television as "Obamneycare."
Romney responded with a lengthy and detailed defense of the plan that included his pledge to support repeal of the national law.
"From that point forward Romney looked in charge," said Dante Scala, a political scientist at the University of New Hampshire. "I don't know if you could have had a better night if you are Mitt Romney."
His rivals also declined to resurrect criticism from Romney's failed 2008 White House campaign about his relatively late conversion into an abortion rights opponent, a move that helped create his label as a flip-flopper.
"Case closed," said former pizza executive Herman Cain.
The candidates, most still relatively unknown in the critical early voting state of New Hampshire where the debate was held, decided to use their time introducing themselves and convincing Republicans they could win in 2012.
"No one wants to be the bad guy in an early debate," Scala said.
Obama leads most of his Republican rivals in polls, but Bachmann confidently predicted he would be a one-term president. The outspoken conservative from Minnesota was a forceful presence, offering detailed explanations of her views that reinforced her Tea Party appeal.
The other candidate who gained some ground was the one with the most to gain — former U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Newt Gingrich, whose campaign seemed on life support after his entire senior staff quit last week .
Gingrich, accustomed to the spotlight and comfortable with the issues, was not asked about the staff desertion but showed he was not giving up quite yet.
"He'll live to fight another day now," Cullen said.

The Kiuchi brewery is producing some utterly delicious beers under the Hitachino Nest brand. And they're also just so well packaged, with the distinctive owl logo. We've reviewed a couple of them in the past here. I had this beer at The Rake on Sunday evening.
Hitachino Nest Yuzu Saison du Japon
5% alcohol. Complex, textured with sweet textured, honeyed and a bit herbal with some nice tangy spiciness. Lovely intensity here- quite yeasty with some lemony freshness on the finish. Some toffee and malt in the mix, too. Distinctive and delicious. 9/10

Just about everyone in our family agrees—Lake Powell is the best vacation ever! And this year has to be one of the best of the best! I blog about our days on the lake every year, so I won't bore you with many details (I've got lots of photos though!). . . I'll just focus on what made this year stand out.
The first thing that comes to mind—NO WIND! That's a first! We almost always have a little wind, and sometimes we have quite a bit of wind, even to the point of being dangerous. Not this year! It was fabulous not to have to worry about the wind whipping up and creating problems; I know that's always something that Sterling and the boys stress about, so we loved that this year wind didn't even enter the picture.
Our grandchildren are getting older, which means a few things were different. While the menu items remain the same, the quantity sure did increase! I was amazed at how much food we went through—we're definitely feeding some growing bodies.
Shanna and Jared and the twins didn't come—we definitely missed them, but understood why they chose not to come. The twins are little but mobile—and fast! Two-year-old Makai was the youngest grandchild there, and we still had to keep our eyes on him, but watching one child is sure different than watching a dozen! The others were all old enough and good enough swimmers that, while we kept them in sight, we didn't have to be nearly as vigilant as in years past.
Because the grandchildren are older, they were going pretty much all the time. There was always someone on a wave runner or in a boat pulling a water skier or bumbuster! Because of some healthy cousin competition, pretty much everyone got up on skis or took turns wake boarding—even some adults who in the past have pretty much been spectators got in the act!
It was hotter than normal, so we spent a LOT of time in the water! Even I got more sun and swimming in than normal—and I loved every minute of it!
The trip felt more relaxing, probably because of all the things I just mentioned! We enjoyed visiting, popping popcorn and watching movies in the evening, just relaxing and enjoying each others' company. My only complaint? It ended way too soon! I'm already looking forward to next year. . .

Artist's Statement
My work attempts to discuss the perspective of our history as a nation from the reasonable doubts that generate the narratives of painting. For this I almost always value artistic images that support the depiction of a particular Cuban identity from Colonial times to today.
I edit, compose, and articulate possible realities into paintings which are postmodern and neo-classical works that challenge the status quo of immediate reality and official history to highlight the ludicrous premises of the capacity of art. I believe that painting allows me to manipulate the images to permit various interpretations, and refuse to consider the work as an instrument of linear reading or concrete experience stories, that's what journalism is for.
The freedom to experiment with different associations and interpretations of what is rigidly "historical" is my main goal.

The Difference between a Water Purifier and a Water Filter
It isn't unusual for terminology to overlap when it comes to certain kinds of household systems, and one area where this can happen is with water filters and water purification systems. Even industry professionals will sometimes use these terms interchangeably, but there is a difference, and as a homeowner looking to have the cleanest water possible, you should know the difference so you choose the right kind of water cleaning system for your home.
What really separates a water purifier from a water filter is the removal of biological contaminants, such as bacteria and viruses. This doesn't mean a water filtration system can't remove these contaminants or that a water purifier only removes biological impurities, but a water purifier's main goal is to remove any kind of biological contaminant from your water. With a water filter, the focus is on capturing as many different types of contaminants and impurities, so biological contaminants may slip past the filtration system. The best way to assess which type of system is best for you is to work with your Ken Neyer Plumbing, Inc. plumbing expert.
The Benefits of Installing a Water Purifier
Why install and use a whole home water purifier? Here are some reasons our customers chose a water purification system for their homes:
- Protection from breaches – should some kind of breach occur, whether in your municipal water system or something happens to the source of your ground water, you'll be protected from biological pollutants and other impurities.
- Environmentally–friendly – there are two ways in which a water purification system is friendly to the environment. The first is by using very little resources to operate. The second is reducing the amount of plastic you use when drinking purified water from a bottle. With purified water coming from every faucet in your home, there's no more reason to buy water contained in plastic.
- Convenient – with a whole house water purification system, you can have purified water anytime you want it!
The experts at Ken Neyer Plumbing, Inc. are here to assist with all of your water purification needs – just give us a call!

It's got to happen to someone and it seems this year's wardrobe malfunction has come courtesy of Nicki Minaj, whose whole dress appeared to just pop right open during one of her performances at the 2014 MTV VMAs.
After twerking and grinding like only Nicki can for her performance of Anaconda, the rapper made a very hasty costume change from a sparkly green two-piece and into an LBD, ready to take the stage with Jessie J and Ariana Grande.
But as Nicki walked back on stage to sing the trio's new single Bang Bang, something wasn't quite right. By which we mean 90% of her zip-fronted black mini dress was very definitely NOT zipped up. Whoops.
Holding on to her basooma-area for dear life, Nicki handled the whole thing like it was no big deal, making us wonder whether clothes that don't fasten are just the new fashion thing all the cool kids are wearing in America.
Very few people could look this calm on the verge of revealing their lady lumps to the world...

NEW YORK, April 7 (UPI) -- A former stuntman on the Broadway play "Spider-Man: Turn off the Dark" alleged failure to update computer software led to injuries in both his knees.
Richard Kobak asked a New York court to compel the producers of the extravaganza to turn over documents about the computer that controlled the rigging used in the many aerial stunts that were a highlight of the show.
Kobak contends the production crew never reprogrammed the computer to accommodate his weight after he hurriedly replaced Christopher Tierney, who was injured in a 30-foot fall while on stage in 2010.
Kobak's petition indicates his knees took a beating from some 70 jarring landings on the stage. The stuntman alleged he also hurt his back and suffered a concussion when the rigging hurled him into a wall, The Hollywood Reporter said.
The Reporter said the production company behind "Spider-Man" declined comment but noted Kobak was back to work on the Green Day musical "American Idiot."

Since our stay was so short, we had to maximise our time efficiently. Took a red-eye flight into Narita so that we could reach in the morning with a full day ahead; and took a night flight back to SG likewise. Both of us knew the place well, knew what we wanted, so no time wasted at all.
Our itinerary went something like this:
Day 1 - Arrival at Narita Airport, Narita Express to Shibuya, check-in at Shibuya Excel Tokyu, Tsukiji Market, Kappabashi, Shibuya
Day 2 - Check-out, Shinjuku for lunch, Limited Express train to Kawaji Onsen, check-in at KAI Kawaji
Day 3 - After breakfast, check-out and travel back to Shinjuku, shopping around Shinjuku, check-in at Shibuya Excel Tokyu, Shibuya
Day 4 - Little Pie Factory at Hiroo, Arisugawa Park, Shibuya
Day 5 - Jiyuugaoka, Aoyama, flight back to SG
We bought the pass and also booked the train tickets at the Narita Airport JR East Travel Service Centre.
Basically this is a consecutive 3-day pass for unlimited rides using reserved seats on Shinkansen, limited express and other regular trains in Tokyo and the surrounding Kanto area.
The pass cost 8300 yen per person, which is value-for-money because a one-way ticket on board Narita Express is 3190 yen and two-way limited express train to/fro Kinugawa Onsen is 8000 yen. That's already savings of 3490 yen (and not forgetting the JR Yamanote line which we use quite often when traveling within Tokyo).
We reached the Shibuya Excel Tokyu at about 10.30am, which is usually too early for check-in. But the front office offered us an upgrade of room with immediate check-in (couldn't remember how much, maybe 2000-3000 yen) which we gladly took up the offer so that we could freshen up before the intense shopping ahead.
The room was good size with two Queen size beds. For stays in Japan, we usually opt for twin-bedded room rather than a single king bed room because the former room size is much bigger, so we have more room to pack our luggage.
Standard size bathroom, with a full-size bathtub.
Lovely view! We could see the Yoyogi Park in the horizon.
My favourite crossing of Shibuya.
Night view.
After freshening up, we proceeded to Tsukiji Market, couldn't wait to tuck in to our first sushi meal!
Wish I could buy more stuff back. (Yes I pack grocery and fruits/veg back ok).
Saw some grilled beef, couldn't resist buying a stick for appetiser. Oishii!
Some of the sushi we ate.
Total damage, 5196 yen. And even with GST, the meal was about S$60 only! This could easily cost us $80-100 back home.
My lovely box of Yuzu from Tsukiji Market! 13pc for 2527yen (~S$28, ~S$2+ each). In SG supermarkets, if lucky to spot, each pc goes for about S$6.50. Lalalalala =D
After Tsukiji Market, I headed to Kappabashi for kitchen and baking stuff whereas hubby proceeded to his favourite fishing tackle shops.
A huge bowl of ramen like this cost less than S$10, the broth was so good!
After dinner, we went to Tokyu Food Show depachika, which is the basement food hall market. Japan depachika are definitely feasts for the senses and there's so much vibes that made me go high each time I visit.
Since I was still full from dinner, could only take in some ice-cream for dessert. Did I mention before that it's also very shiok to eat ice-cream during winter, especially after a hot bowl of ramen. LOL!
Stay tuned for next post, on Kawaji Onsen!!

"desHecho en Syfy", acting as a container showcase for "Hecho en Syfy" (Made in Syfy), celebrates Z-movies from an irreverent perspective. NBC Universal Spain needed a header, closer and signage, with elements that would link to "Hecho en Syfy". We decided on an explosion that would allow us to focus on Z-movie icons. The original one-eyed monster that appears in "Hecho en Syfy" explodes, filling the white Syfy space with the detritus of it's insides. Dinosaurs, monsters, airplanes, among many others, fly across the screen. To avoid a chaos of colour, we maintained a white palette for the innards. This allowed us to focus on macro details of the objects and body goo, playing with depth perception and light.
I made with the art and creative direction of "the Cómodos" some scenes and I worked in the lighting and compositing of the whole project with VRay.
