Eric Clapton And Jeff Beck: The Death of a Musical Revolution
On February 18th Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck took to the stage at Madison Square Garden. The long-running rivalry between these two guitar idols has been legendary. The significance of their sharing a stage has brought full circle a battle that began more than 40 years ago when Beck replaced Clapton as the lead guitarist for The Yardbirds.
The website MSG has recorded, in 20 photographs, the historical performance by these two rock and roll icons. In Angela Cranford Photographs Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck at Madison Square Garden, our own Blogcritics photography expert FCEtier discusses the masterful artwork of photographer Angela Cranford.
The concert at Madison Square Garden, along with an unprecedented joint interview Beck and Clapton gave in the March 4, 2010 issue of Rolling Stone magazine, proves that both men have grown beyond the competitiveness that marked their younger days.
They have finally begun to show one another the respect they deserve as two of the most influential guitarists in the history of rock and roll. It's a credit to Clapton that he has been able to overcome his past rigidness and give Beck the credit he has long been due.
There is, once or twice during their Rolling Stone interview, a feeling of cloying, mutual genuflection; an ingratiating, ego-stroking that feels purely saccharine. Even as they poke one another in humorous fashion a few statements stand out. For instance, after being asked, Clapton admits that there are things Beck can play on a guitar that he can't. When Beck is asked if Clapton can do things on a guitar that he can't his response is "no." Both men laugh, but Clapton replies that "it really is true." Beck responds "No, bollocks" and takes his turn to compliment Clapton's playing. No bollocks, indeed.
The one thing woefully missing from this triumphant reunion story is a historical overview of these men, the musically incestuous, and often ugly, relationships between the original members of the British rock explosion and the rift that has now become a part of rock and roll lore.
In the Rolling Stone interview Clapton admits that he was "very disagreeable — intolerant" during the break-up with The Yardbirds. Over the years, mixed reports have accumulated of Clapton's battles with his contemporaries. Couple that with Beck's notoriously violent on-stage temper tantrums, and this reunion would seem unlikely at best. The fact that it happened at all can probably only be attributed to the passage of time and life's lessons hard learned.
Eric Clapton Vs Jeff Beck: The Rivalry Years
In the mid 1960s graffiti proclaiming 'Clapton is God' began springing up all over brick buildings of London. Eric Clapton had recently vacated his position as lead guitarist for The Yardbirds. He let it be known that he had no interest in being in a band that was veering away from hardcore blues into more experimental psychedelic and pop music. Clapton packed his guitar and joined John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. It was during this time that his phenomenal blues guitar playing began spawning a devoted group of followers. These followers would proclaim his holiness by word of mouth and, most famously, in paint across the dirty facade of London's Underground stations. By the time The Yardbirds' single "For Your Love" hit the charts Clapton was already long gone.
The Yardbirds, looking for a replacement, turned to friend and fellow musician Jimmy Page. Page, who was making a name for himself, and a good income as a studio musician, turned them down but directed them to Jeff Beck. It wouldn't take long for Beck to gain his own acclaim within The Yardbirds. He was a fearless innovator when it came to experimenting with new sounds. As The Yardbirds began to rack up hits, Jeff Beck was racking up fans, including worshipful writers from some of London's most influential music magazines. It was during this time that he developed the fuzz, feedback and distortion that would become his trademark, and his legacy.
It's no surprise that a rivalry would develop between Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. It wasn't only the critical and commercial success that The Yardbirds achieved during Beck's time with the band that drove a wedge between them, these two musicians harbored entirely antipodal views on guitar playing as well. Clapton was always a purist, almost elitist, blues guitarist. The pop/blues/psychedelic musical anomalies that The Yardbirds and others (such as The Beatles' Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and The Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request) were creating held no attraction for him. When Jimmy Page decided to join The Yardbirds, taking a backseat by playing bass and rhythm guitar to Beck's lead guitar, the Clapton/Beck rift was firmly set in stone.
The late 1960's marked a turning of the tides. Clapton found his own commercial success and critical acclaim in Cream. His reputation as a first class blues guitarist had grown rapidly within British music circles. Beck and Page, now playing dual lead guitars, had taken The Yardbirds about as far as they could go. Beck would be fired in the middle of a US tour for being a consistent no-show; his perfectionism and explosive temper were reaping havoc on the band and his own health. After his departure, The Yardbirds were unable to recapture their former popularity. Jimmy Page would leave to form Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton would move into one of the darker periods of his career, a period that would lead to great commercial success, but would also put him at odds with friends and fans alike.
After the death of founding member Brian Jones Jeff Beck was approached to join The Rolling Stones. Mick Taylor had initially filled that spot but left complaining of poor treatment by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards.
Beck's post-Yardbirds project, The Jeff Beck Group, originally started with Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood, although musically successful, was cementing Beck's reputation for being tempermental and difficult to work with. Stewart and Wood would finally jump ship to join The Faces. Ironically, it would be Ronnie Wood who would take the position that Beck had coveted in The Stones.
The Jeff Beck Group would go on to cycle through impressive line-ups featuring some of the best musicians in the UK. This project allowed Beck the freedom to experiment, to surround himself with other creative artists, to grow at his own pace musically. During his career Beck has been credited with creating the sounds that would become psychedelic rock and heavy metal. He has won five Grammy awards.
At the same time that Beck was becoming renowned for musical combat, Eric Clapton was entering a period of personal turbulence that would prove to intensify his reputation as both an incomparable guitarist and a deeply troubled, often self-destructive, man. If there were a grave marker at the end of each of Clapton's musical phases and I could write the epitaph, this period would read Broken on the wheel, I climbed their corpses to reach the Gods.
This period would see Clapton vilified for rumors of his mistreatment of Brian Jones just prior to his death. Even as his place as a world renowned musician was secured, his reputation for erratic behavior was growing. He was facing down the dual demons of heroin and alcohol addiction and the implosion of Cream. When his next effort, Blind Faith, failed to rise above mediocrity, Clapton took off for the U.S. He worked on the studio sessions known as Music From Free Creek, as did Jeff Beck, although they managed to avoid one another during recording.
It was also during this period that Clapton was introduced to Jimi Hendrix. As much as he had been critical of Jeff Beck and Brian Jones' musical experimentation, he embraced Hendrix's reverb and feedback-laced acid rock. The fact that Jimi Hendrix was the only guitarist at the time to usurp Clapton's place as the world's greatest guitarist might also have made Clapton more tolerant towards his musical bastardizations.
Whatever the reason, Hendrix was one of the few musicians with whom Clapton never found fault. It has long been rumored that Clapton even went so far as to buy Hendrix a left-handed guitar for his 28th birthday (An extremely thoughtful gift). Hendrix was known to re-string right-handed guitars and play them upside down. A skill born of necessity during the days when he couldn't afford the more expensive left-handed guitars. It would be a birthday that Hendrix would never celebrate, a gift that he would never receive.Clapton worked with The Plastic Ono Band on the Live Peace in Toronto album as well as recording his self-named first solo album. He also began spending time with close friend George Harrison as they worked on Harrison's album All Things Must Pass . It was during this time that Clapton developed an intense infatuation with Harrison's wife, Pattie Boyd . His unrequited passion would lead him to form Derek and the Dominos and release the song "Layla", written to woo her. The song marked a dynamic change in Clapton's musical style. It was raw, fiery and passionate. It was rock and roll.
With the addition of Duane Allman (The Allman Brothers Band) and his searing guitar work to the Dominos, his growing friendship with Jimi Hendrix and inspiration from his (still unattainable) musical muse, Pattie Boyd-Harrison, Clapton seemed to be overcoming the demons of his past. And then it all came crashing down around him.
The devastating deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman, along with public criticism over the discovery that "Layla" was written for Harrison's wife, sent Clapton further into the depths of drug addiction. In a drunken rage he took to the stage in Birmingham England and went on a tirade saying that England was turning into "a black colony" and people should vote for Enoch Powell to "keep Britain white." The media and his fans turned against him. The response from his fellow musicians was the creation of the crusade Rock Against Racism.
His reputation seriously tarnished, he would disappear from the public eye while he fought his heroin addiction and reappear with Pattie Boyd, now divorced from George Harrison, finally by his side. He would release the critically acclaimed album Slowhand featuring "Wonderful Tonight," another song written for Boyd, although it would still be years before she would agree to marry him.
I recall once reading an article after the break up of Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall in which Hall was asked about gifts given her by Jagger. Although I do not recall her exact reply it was something along the lines of 'I always knew when Mick cheated. He would return home with a sheepish look and expensive gifts'.
I imagine that it was much the same for Boyd. In 1979, after years of public criticism for dumping Harrison and pressure from Clapton, she finally agreed to marry him. During their marriage Clapton would father two children by women he had affairs with. Ruth, whom he did not acknowledge publicly as his daughter until well after his divorce from Boyd, and Conor, whose death after a fall from his mother's 53rd story New York apartment window at the age of four inspired the song "Tears In Heaven." That song earned Clapton six Grammy Awards. It also marked a change in Clapton's attitude. He has become less rigid and competitive over music and musicianship. Willing to give credit where credit is due. For the most part.
Clapton ranked #4 to Beck's #14 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of 100 Greatest Guitarists, published in 2003. The one thing that is consistently said about Clapton's playing is that he plays as if his guitar is merely an extension of his own body. The heights that Clapton has risen to as a musician would be viewed by most as an achievement, but for Clapton it was an obstacle that he needed to overcome. No one can truly appreciate success when they take themselves too seriously. Clapton seems to have found his humor at last.
Jeff Beck's re-emergence into the spotlight is introducing his music, and his unique approach to guitar playing, to a new generation of fans. His determination to dissect every chord and note, to move it, bend it and stretch it until it holds no secrets from him. He knows his instrument intimately. He has explored it like a lover. But it is the precision of his fretwork that still impresses most. His fingers seem to fly in a blur, yet he hits every note distinctly. While fellow guitarists bemoan Beck's lower ranking on the lists of guitar players there really is no one to blame but Beck himself. He has never courted, nor even seemed to care for, commercial popularity.
Eventually Eric Clapton ditched the raw, emotional wailing that has made "Layla" consistently rise to the top of Greatest Songs lists for the more adult contemporary/pop oriented sound that led to heavy radio rotation and record sales, while Jeff Beck continued to work in a different realm entirely, gaining critical praise for his innovative guitar explorations and becoming the sort of guitarist that other guitarists use as a measuring stick. There are few guitarists who can do what Beck does with a guitar. They may be able to emulate him, but the process by which he creates is a secret that lives within him only.
The point where these two artists diverged musically made their 'guitar rivalry' moot. They were no longer competition for one another. They weren't even playing for the same audience any more. But they have now. To sold out audiences in London, New York and Canada.
In a minuscule musical community that offers no more than two degrees of separation between members (that fishbowl known as The British Invasion), Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck have managed to keep their distance from one another for more than forty years. The end of their rivalry leaves a faint ray of hope for future collaborations--and a certain sense of mourning; a nostalgic longing for the good old days of piss and spit, rock and roll rivalries.

Prefer to see the vinyl LP?
Experimental electric piano duo Footy release their first album Mobile Cemetery on Lost And Lonesome on Friday, May 3.
Inspired by restless, meandering drives through the industrial fringe suburbs of Melbournes "mid-west", Mobile Cemetery is a nuanced and exploratory album, thematically cohesive and even "conceptual".
Footy are Lewis Mulvey and Paddy Gordon, two gentlemen influenced equally by underground pop, the cerebral jazz of Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett and other ECM alumni, and the clean, driving Kraut-rock of Neu! and Cluster.
Mobile Cemetery highlights the considered nature and breadth of ambition of this unique band.

Hmm, what to do with your tax refund? 6 tips for military families
Will your family receive a tax refund this year? The average tax refund is around $2,800 and slightly more for direct deposit refunds. Even if your refund is more or less than the average, we have a few tips to make your money work for you.
Military families encounter fluctuations in household income for a variety of reasons including: deployment and training incentives; bonuses; loss of income from a spouse's job; or cost of living adjustments after a military move. A tax refund may provide the funds you need to help account for the changes in household income. Here are some tips to consider:
- Review your emergency savings funds. Do you have money set aside for unexpected expenses? Out of pocket costs for an upcoming Permanent Change of Station (PCS)? Consider starting or adding money to a designated emergency savings account.
- Pay down debt. Use your refund to pay down or pay off a high interest credit card.
- Contribute to your retirement plan. An extra contribution to your service member's Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) or your own retirement account can go a long way.
- Deployment savings. If your service member is deployed, consider adding your refund to the Savings Deposit Program. A total of $10,000 may be deposited each deployment and will earn 10% interest annually.
- Save for college. If you have children, you can contribute to a college 529 savings plan. Going back to school as an adult? You can put your refund towards a 529 plan for yourself, too.
- Don't spend your refund before your receive it. Wait for your refund to arrive before you spend the funds. You can track the status of your federal refund online.
Before you are tempted to spend the extra money on a shopping spree, review your current financial situation. It may be helpful to talk to a financial counselor at your local military installation or through Military OneSource to help you decide how to put your refund to good use.
How will you use your tax refund?

OKLAHOMA -- Oklahoma's incarceration statistics are staggering: the state ranks fourth nationally for incarcerated men and first for incarcerated women.
So is Oklahoma's probation system keeping convicted offenders out of prison?
News 12 looked into it and found that because there are no state mandated requirements whatsoever, offenders can merely check-in with their probation supervisor through the mail and anyone -- without special training -- can oversee probation.
We spoke with four local Oklahoma district attorneys to learn how they supervise probation. Each of these district attorneys told us that they require offenders to comply with the conditions of probation required by the court.
All of them say that they allow offenders to check-in with their probation supervisor via mail, but most report in person.
Two out of four of these offices don't have specially trained personnel overseeing probation.
Just this month, District 19 Attorney Emily Redman hired a specially trained officer to oversee probations.
"He also is responsible for doing the random urinalysis and things that take more training and more law enforcement knowledge," Redman said.
District 17 Attorney Mark Matloff says his office has an employee with more than 15 years of law enforcement experience overseeing their probations.
But District 20 Attorney Craig Ladd and District 22 Attorney Chris Ross don't have trained probation supervisors. Ross says his office doesn't have the funds to hire a specific person for the task. Ladd says because most of the probationers in his district are misdemeanor offenders, his office doesn't need specially trained personnel to handle their program.
Probation supervision is relatively new for Oklahoma district attorneys.
In 2005, Oklahoma legislators established the District Attorney Supervision Program, which gave district attorney's offices the authority to oversee probations.
Before that, felons were supervised by DOC, but most people convicted of misdemeanors were not supervised.
"Those people weren't being supervised at all. There was no supervision to determine if they were really going to their counseling that the court ordered, if they were really paying their fines as the court ordered," Redman said.
That legislation also allowed district attorney's to collect on monthly probation supervision fees, generating more income for their offices.
In 2012, that meant a total of $15.3 million dollars for District Attorney's offices statewide.
Less than half of th e funding for district attorney's offices comes from the government. The rest, the office must come up with.
Ross says if the probation supervision dollars disappeared, their doors would close.
But it's not just district attorneys making ends meet with probation fees. That same 2005 legislation also authorized private entities to supervise probations.
Justin Humphrey has built his business, Last Chance Probation in Atoka, around that.
"We focus on drug and alcohols because we believe that's what's behind most of our crimes committed here in Oklahoma," Humphrey said.
Humphrey says offenders supervised by Last Chance Probation are drug tested more frequently on their state of the art drug testing machines.
But some district attorneys are concerned that these private entities will take away their probation fee income.
District 21 Attorney Greg Mashburn is proposing legislation that would require offenders to pay the DA's office, regardless of whether the office is supervising their probation.
"The offender will be charged with paying us $40 a month to recoup the charge of prosecuting them and to compensate us for monitoring their probation to see if they're successful or not," Mashburn said.
Again, the way the law is written now, anyone is able to supervise probations.
The question is -- is this probation system keeping Oklahomans out of prison or is it focused on making ends meet for District Attorney's Offices?

Tune In to Hep C, where Natalie Cole sings to raise money for the Denver-based Hep C Connection, is much more than an occasion where a local nonprofit brings in a star who is basically just doing it for the money.
The Oct. 12 event at Denver's historic Paramount Theatre has personal significance for the nine-time Grammy recipient. Cole, daughter of the late Nat King Cole, was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis C, a viral infection of the liver, during a routine blood test in 2008.
Tune In to Hep C, "An Unforgettable Concert with Natalie Cole, also is a public awareness campaign sponsored by Merck. Cole is its ambassador. Hep C affects 76,000 people in Colorado alone.

Large scale structure contains vastly more Fourier modes than the CMB, and is therefore a promising arena for studying the early universe. One obstacle to using these modes is the non-linearity of structure formation. The amount of weakly coupled information available is therefore very sensitive to scale at which non-linear effects become important and simulations become necessary. Using effective field theory techniques, I will present evidence that the perturbative description of dark matter is much better behaved than previously thought. I will discuss the implications for improving constraints on non-gaussian initial conditions.

Over the weekend, we showed you some of the new G.I. Joe toys that will hit the market to coincide with the sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation. However, those images lacked the novelty of the stars of the movie playing with the toy versions of themselves. Dwayne Johnson, Adrianne Palicki, D.J. Cotrona, and director Jon Chu stopped by the G.I. Joe booth at Toy Fair, and we've got the pictures to prove it.
Bruce Willis, Channning Tatum, Byung-hun Lee, Ray Park, RZA, Joseph Mazzello, Elodie Yung, and Walton Goggins also star in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, scheduled for release on June 29, 2012. Hit the jump for the images.

My first Dorie recipe.
A couple weeks ago Maria of Two Peas and Their Pod posted this recipe from Dorie Greenspan's Baking, From My Home to Yours. First I have to mention that if you have not checked Maria's blog you definitely should because she is constantly whipping up something delicious. I had no intention of baking the night I made these, but then I remembered seeing them on her site and I more or less had all the ingredients on hand. I ended up having to use three different types of peanut butter in the recipe because I did not have enough of any one kind, but it still worked out. In case you were wondering what three kinds of peanut butter I used and how has three kinds of peanut butter I will explain. I generally use Jif for baking because I think it works better than all natural peanut butter, but we use all natural peanut butter as our everyday peanut butter. You know for sandwiches or when you just need a spoonful. The third jar was reduced fat Jif which was an accidental purchase. Jif was buy one get one free at the grocery store so I grabbed one and the one directly behind it assuming it was the same thing and ended up buying the reduced fat. I don't think the mix of the peanut butter made any difference in the cookies so because they still turned out great.
This was my first Dorie Greenspan recipe (which may be shocking to all you Tuesdays with Dorie members) and I was very pleased with the results. This is definitely not your traditional oatmeal or peanut butter cookie, but it is quite delicious. I am not sure I was going to like the combination of the cinnamon and nutmeg with the peanut butter and chocolate, but it made for a unique and delicious cookie. Thanks Maria and Dorie for sharing the recipe with us!
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp salt
2 sticks (8 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup peanut butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup (packed) light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
9 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chunks, or 1 1/2 cups store-bought chocolate chips or chunks (I used chocolate chips)
Getting Ready: Position the racks to divide the oven into thirds and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats. (I only baked one batch at a time on the center rack. In fact I baked one dozen and then froze the dough and did not reuse it for another week. I then let the dough thaw and baked the rest one batch at a time)
Whisk together the oats, flour, baking soda, spices and salt. Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with a paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition, then beat in the vanilla.
Reduce the mixer speed to low and slowly add the dry ingredients, beating only until blended. Mix in the chips.
If you have the time, cover and chill the dough for about 2 hours or for up to one day. (Chilling the dough will give you more evenly shaped cookies.) If the dough is not chilled, drop rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto the baking sheets. If the dough is chilled, scoop up rounded tablespoons, roll the balls between your palms and place them 2 inches apart on the sheets. Press the chilled balls gently with the heel of your hand until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, rotating the sheets from top to bottom and front to back after 7 minutes. The cookies should be golden and just firm around the edges. Lift the cookies onto cooling racks with a wide metal spatula - they'll firm as they cool.

It was probably a rather small step for Lego but it was certainly one giant leap for a Lego man when he was launched into space by a couple of Canadian teens recently.
The mission was the result of the hard work and ingenuity of friends Mathew Ho and Asad Muhammad, who worked on their project during free time on weekends. It took them four months to complete and cost just $400.
The space-bound contraption the two 17-year-olds came up with comprised an $85 weather balloon, a homemade parachute, a Styrofoam box, three point-and-shoot cameras, a wide-angle video camera, and a cell phone loaded with a GPS app so they'd be able to find the thing when it (hopefully) returned to Earth.
The finishing touch came in the form of a Lego man holding the Canadian flag strapped to a gangplank attached to their creation.
Now that it was built, the question was: would it get off the ground? Well, there was only one way to find out.
Once a particularly helpful website had calculated that—according to their contraption's design and the prevailing winds of the day—it wouldn't land across the border in the US, the pair decided to go for launch at a soccer pitch in Newmarket, near Toronto.
After turning on the cameras and cell phone, all they had to do was ensure the Lego man was in position, inflate the weather balloon and let it go.
At an altitude of just over four miles the GPS signal was, as expected, lost. But then 90 minutes later, Ho's iPad signaled that the Lego man and his craft had returned safely to Earth, and even better, its location was only 75 miles from the launch point.
Ho and Muhammad picked up the Lego man, and the rest of the gear, the following weekend. They worked out that the Lego man had reached a height of about 80,000 feet in 65 minutes, and took just over half-an-hour to return to Earth.
They "started screaming" when they saw the footage their video camera had captured. Indeed, it shows some spectacular shots from high above the planet, complete with flag-holding Lego man.
Speaking to the Toronto Star about Ho and Muhammad's successful venture into space, Dr. Michael Reid, a University of Toronto astrophysics professor, said: "It shows a tremendous degree of resourcefulness. For two 17-year-olds to accomplish this on their own is pretty impressive."

Wonder how to work catwalk cool into your own closet? Here's how to translate the trends for real life.
Forget it being just a one-off trend: Maxi dresses are in it for the — er — long haul. The nearly-to-the-floor style has become a wardrobe staple, as both consumers and high-end designers continue to embrace the easy-going look.
During the spring 2013 runway shows, we saw maxis from the likes of Tory Burch, Zac Posen, Ralph Lauren, Carolina Herrera, Marc Jacobs, Mara Hoffman, Rachel Zoe, Badgley Mischka, Oscar de la Renta, DKNY … You get the idea, right?
So, what makes them new this summer? We asked Denver-based image consultant Milena Joy for her top maxi dress trends and tips – so you can take your own style to the, you know, maxi.
THE RUNWAY: Tommy Hilfiger, spring 2013
Nothing says summer comfort like a super long maxi dress in sunset orange. This catwalk style is chic with summer wedge sandals.

Smoked Salmon and Pea Pasta
Hubby's gone to Singapore on business again this morning but thankfully this is a short trip and he is back Friday morning. I hate it when he goes away and miss him terribly, so I keep busy around the house, cleaning, baking and making yummy meals for one! Comfort food is something I always crave when I am home alone and I found it in this recipe for Smoked Salmon and Pea Pasta. This recipe definitely delivered comfort; it's low fat and incorporated Total Greek Yoghurt! A heart healthy, speedy meal packed with omega-3s and ready in 20 minutes.
Smoked Salmon and Pea Pasta
Serves 2
175g fusilli or other pasta
100g frozen peas
125g pack cooked smoked salmon fillets
3 rounded tbsp 0% Greek yogurt
2 rounded tsp horseradish sauce
Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water according to pack instructions, adding the peas for the last 3 mins. Meanwhile, flake the salmon and set aside, then mix the yogurt with the horseradish, salt and pepper.
Drain the pasta, then return to the pan and stir in the salmon and yogurt, letting the heat of the pasta warm the sauce. Tastes great with a crisp green salad.

Sounds lovely. I prefer cooked smoked salmon to raw. Will try the yohurt and horseradish, never thought of that combination before. I really miss decent peas. The frozen peas we have here are not good at all - miss birds eye frozen peas.

JCRC to honor House Republican who voted for civil-unions measure
Already the tributes are coming in for state Rep. B.J. Nikkel, the first Republican lawmaker to cast a vote for a civil-unions bill in the House.
The Jewish Community Relations Council on Thursday will honor Nikkel with its "legislative appreciation award," an honor she said "touches her heart."
Also being recognized at the group's annual luncheon is former Denver City Councilwoman Carol Boigon, who ran for mayor last year, and her husband, Howard Boigon.
Nikkel, of Loveland, on May 3 voted for the civil-unions bill in the House Judiciary Committee, setting in motion a series of events that moved to the measure to the House floor, where it died in dramatic fashion Tuesday night. She was a "no" vote against civil unions last year, when the bill died in committee.
Nikkel has worked to to make sure juveniles are charged appropriately in the criminal justice system and for more government transparency.
Carol Boigon is receiving the Jewish Public Official Distinguished Service Award; Howard has been awarded the Community Leadership Award.

Recent reviews
Fabulous 8.8 From 190 reviews
The hotel is nice but sits wayyyy back from the road. They have shuttles to and from the road but still annoying to have to wait for one. They also are a bit far from the beach. They have another shuttle to take you there but you have to find your own way back. We took a cab to Karon and found that we liked it better and wished we'd stayed in that area instead. We booked a pool access room but were "upgraded" to a private villa. It was cool, though we would have preferred what we booked. The villa was huge, so that it never really cooled off in there. There were a lot of bugs, especially in the bathroom. Some kind of ants or mites or something. There was a private pool but we opted for the regular pool, which was large, clean and neat as it wraps basically around the whole hotel. Breakfast was good, lots to choose from. Overall, our stay was fine but we probably wouldn't stay again.
The staff is very helpful and friendly, which makes the stay very enjoyable. The room is comfortable. There is construction nearby but it doesn't bother us much.
Absolutely loved our staying there. We stayed there for our honeymoon for 5 days at villa with access to the pool. Delicious breakfast, friendly people, clean please and beautiful pool. 10 minutes walk to the Kata beach. I would love to come back again.
The staff are amazing. Such a lovely, helpful team that cannot do enough for your stay. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone coming to phuket.
We upgraded to the private pool villa which was about $30 US per night.

Sure beats waiting for the lockout to be over…
Yep, EA Sports is back again, releasing the newest in a long line of solid games. NBA Live '99 comes just in time to help basketball fans get through the tough
times that the current NBA lockout has brought on. Updated this year with better
graphics, new moves, new statistics, and a new play-by-play commentary, EA Sports
has done more for Live this year than they ever have in the past. And the
results are damn good.
As soon as you start the game, you can tell Live '99 is slick. The interface is one of the most polished in games today. A 3D scoreboard in the background of 2D buttons alerts you to current NBA scores (if there were any!) as well as information about the current menu. Real slick.
As soon as you pick a team, you'll see how the graphic engine has undergone a serious facelift. You'll see head shots, rendered in real-time, of the starting lineup. Here's the catch – they actually look like the people they are supposed to be. If you pick Utah, for example, Malone and Stockton look pretty much like Malone and Stockton. Add in realistic looking player heights, animations, and facial expressions and you'll see that Live '99 has some of the best graphics in any sports game. Real-time shadows and reflections in the wood finish off the graphical flair. Live '99 is truly a marvel to look at.
Some may suspect with all this time spent in making the graphics great that
the gameplay would be shallow, and they would be wrong. There are so many moves
you can do – jab steps, fake passes, aggressive rebounds, around the back, through
the legs, etc. – that you'll spend hours just figuring out how to do it all.
Although annoying for beginners (10 buttons is a little overkill),
the depth allowed through this system creates a basketball game that you can
play over and over and not get bored.
There's also a variety of game modes to
keep you interested, such as 3-point contest, General Manager mode, Simulation
mode, and Arcade mode. There is even a Coaching mode where you can pick plays.
The gameplay in Live '99 is incredible and is certainly better than last
The tag line for the game is "NBA LIVE comes to LIFE" and in this case it
isn't just a marketing machine lying to you. Sound in the game is incredibly
realistic, while music clips remind you of being at a real game. That's the
main draw of Live – it is actually like being at a game.
Networking is in there as well, but unfortunately it's only for 2 players. If only you could have had 10 players at once…5 on 5 would have never been the same.
For all of the mistakes EA Sports has made in the past in terms of barely updating their games, they have made amends with NBA Live '99. A lot has changed for the better and the game is probably one of their best ever. Live '99 will make you forget that basketball isn't on TV – it's just that good.

keithGL necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 51 diseños de 17 diseñadores freelance.
GroundLink - http://www.groundlink.com
We're a travel technology startup. We work with Delta, JetBlue, Royal Caribbean and other to provide them with ground transportation options (like sedans, limos, suv's, hybrids, and shuttles). We provide a marketplace between the demand they generate from their customers and the supply from the 45,000 independent operators around the world we work with.
We are in the process of securing funding so we are most concerned with potential investors and partners (like other airlines and hotel chains). We need to present an identity that we have it together and know what we're doing within the travel space.
We would like a combination of the company name (GroundLink) with a graphic. Our tagline is "Ground Travel. Reinvented." and this can be incorporated if you want.
We need something that conveys movement but doesn't need to be blatant like a picture of a car or tires. It needs to fit well within the travel space and look professional to board members and c-level employees of major public companies and also to potential investors. Nothing childish or cartoon-like.
Our current colors (blues and grays) can be seen on our website but we're open to changing them to match the logo. No pink or purple.
We are not married to the font, so please feel free to play around there as well.
We would like to find someone we can work with on future projects and help us with branding moving forward. We want to find someone we can build a relationship with.

Charminar Kannada Movie ReviewFeature Film
For those who have felt filmmaker R.Chandru follows the same kind of storylines and narration, his new film "Charminar" would come as a pleasant surprise!
Though it has a rural backdrop like in his previous films, the beauty of "Charminar" lies in the way the director has introduced fresh elements into the narration and fantastic dialogues. Everything looks completely natural.
You may feel that the movie is slow in pace, but it can be easily forgotten owing to the sequences, which leaves a heavy emotional impact on the audience.
Chandru has narrated the story in flashback, but still has been able to engage the audience through heartwarming dialogues and technical strength. He has used the resources to the best of his abilities - whether it is his cameraman K.S. Chandrashekhar or new music director Hari creating good compositions.
The film has some high voltage performances from all the artists.
It stresses upon the importance of parents, friends, teachers and a lover, who form the four 'minars' (pillars) of a successful person's life.
The story starts with Mohan, a CEO of an Amercian software firm, who is on his way back to his village to meet his friends and be part of an old students' meet. While returning to his hometown, Mohan recalls his close bond to the friends and his everlasting love towards Radhe, who got closer to him in his journey towards achieving a bigger goal.
For Mohan, who was a dullard in school days, Radhe is a real inspiration. She encouraged him to study and have an aim in his life. However, Radhe was nowhere to be seen when Mohan made it big in life.
He hopes to meet Radhe at the friends meet, but is disappointed when she does not make it. He goes to her house in the village to find her handicapped because of an accident. The accident also took her mother's life away. Mohan accepts her and decides to start a new life with her.
Nenapirali Prem delivers a really good performance and "Charminar" may well be considered his best film. He has donned different garbs in the film - a college student, a person who has completed a professional course with distinction, and as a CEO of a company.
Meghana is a real surprise in the film as she has given a captivating performance. She emotes well through her eyes. Murduala has a smaller role, but impresses with her glamour quotient. All the other artists have done their best.
"Radhey radhey" is the best pick among all the songs composed by Hari.
"Charminar" has a huge emotional appeal and will attract the family audience and youngsters.

Top Rated Hair Salons in Gauteng?
Okay, let's talk straight. For decades, women of African descent the world over have relied on various tried-and-tested methods to "relax" their hair. Then, about a decade ago, the Yuko system made a big stink among people of all colors when it came over from Japan, followed by Opti-Smooth. Now a third contender is fighting to become top dog in the hair straightening stakes: the Brazilian.
Not what the name may imply, the Brazilian is a relatively new hair straightening system that has nothing to do with waxing away pubic hair. It is a semi-permanent way to straighten the hair on your head, which uses keratin - and sometimes formaldehyde - to tame even the curliest locks. But while it may be taking the world of hair by storm, even it has its drawbacks...
If you are considering straightening your hair for more than just an occasional night out, you may be thinking of a permanent hair straightening system. Here is the best - and the worst - of the most popular systems currently on offer. Remember, success will depend not only on your type of hair and how rigorously you adhere to its upkeep, but also on the skill of your stylist - as well as the products he or she chooses to use.
Brazilian Hair Straightening (aka Brazilian Blow-Out or Brazilian Keratin Treatment). The stylist applies active keratin, a protein found in the top layer of our skin which makes it both waterproof and tough, although sometimes this is used in conjunction with formaldehyde, which can be dangerous (see below). The formula is then sealed into the hair using a hot iron, taking away frizz, curls and unruly waves. Takes about two hours, more for longer or more unruly hair.
* Home Relaxing Kits. Much like a do-it-yourself salon-style routine. Apply straightening cream, leave on, rinse away, straighten with straightening iron, neutralize, wash and blow dry. Takes about two hours in total, more for longer hair. Good luck!
* Ironing. Time was when many young girls had their hair ironed - with a clothes iron - to have straighter tresses. The process could take up to an hour and was often saved for special occasions. Required two people: one to lay her head on the ironing board while the other wielded the iron. Had to be a trusted friend - with excellent eyesight!
Hair straightening is just another way that us mortals deal with "the grass is greener" syndrome. In the 1970s and 1980s everyone was rushing to have a perm and make their straight hair curly, now the reverse is the talk of the town.
If you decide to go the permanently straight route, it's important to find a salon you trust. Take heed if your hair is dyed, colored or even just highlighted, as this may affect the outcome of the straightening process - even if your stylist assures you this isn't the case!
Remember, also, that all chemically straightened hair will require a good hair-care routine to keep it looking good. This means using a protein-rich shampoo, conditioner and other anti-frizz products, as locking in all the moisture possible will be crucial in maintaining that salon style.
Want Longer Hair in Less Than an Hour?
It can be difficult to find a hair extension stylist near you, and you don't always have the time to drive hours to get your hair done. Luckily, several online resources are available to help.
Here is a helpful, condensed list:
The Hair Extension Salon Locator
This site lists hair extension salons by state. It also features articles on the care of hair extensions and hair loss information. Additionally, they have supplies and training resources.
This is the website for the HairBonz hair extension system. You can call 1-888-693-HAIR to find a listing of hair extension salons using the HairBonz system.
No matter where you located your hair extension salon, make sure that your stylist is qualified to apply the extensions. He or she should be a licensed cosmetologist with ample experience in applying the type of extensions you are considering. Many experts recommend that you meet some of the stylist's other clients and find out if they are happy with their extensions. At the very least, ask to see a portfolio with before and after pictures.

I should be more, but I have ended up restructing almost everything to make it more accessible for users. I also decided to add all game demos to the database, the main source of which are magazine coverdisks. I can think of nothing better that allowing the user to launch a demo and read the relevant page in the magazine it came from, all with just two clicks of the mouse.

KATZ CALIFORNIA FENNEL POLLEN - 11 grams/0.39 oz $10
Around here, we believe that highly fragrant and fresh spices can greatly influence the quality and taste of the finished dish. Fennel Pollen is one of those ingredients that can actually make a real difference!
Fennel pollen granules are hand harvested from the buds of flowering wild fennel in California and Italy, where it has long been a culinary tradition. It has slowly been catching on in the United States as more and more chefs are finding new ways to highlight the strong flavor profile. It has the licorice flavor of fennel seed and anise with some subtle citrus and honey notes. It acts as both a flavoring agent and booster enhancing the deep savoriness and intensity we are striving for in our cooking. As the food writer, Peggy Knickerbocker, exhorted in a Saveur Magazine article years ago:
If angels sprinkled a spice from their wings, this would be it.
Our KATZ Fennel Pollen is organically harvested in California. It has many uses from a rub for salmon or chicken, or try it on our KATZ Aromatic Pork Loin Recipe. It is a great addition to pasta and risotto dishes and can be either added to your sauce or sprinkled on top for a heightened fennel flavor. It also stands up to many grains including farro and quinoa, which is actually a seed and considered a super food; check our our KATZ Quinoa Salad Recipe...really healthy and really good! It marries very well with KATZ Extra Virgin Olive Oil drizzled on a toasted crouton and sprinkled with fleur de sel with a pinch of fennel pollen
darn near magical! Or, try our KATZ Smoked Trout with Apple and Fennel Pollen recipe next time you need an appetizer for guests.
And dont forget the sweets
from cookies, to muffins, to coffee cakes, and scones
all are enhanced by this magical spice. Please check out our tasty dessert recipe KATZ Fennel Pollen Apple Cake...This spice is great on just about everything!

We remain here and ready to 'embrace' you in the best way we know how, by offering you 'comfort' food during these challenging and difficult times.

At Stevens Conference, Climate Change Leaders Examine Serious Impact of Extreme Weather
Few of us who were here in the New York City metropolitan area in the summer of 2011 will ever forget Hurricane Irene, one of the largest and most destructive hurricanes to ever hit the east coast of the United States. Or what about the record-setting, havoc-wreaking freak snowstorm in October 2011 that caused states of emergency declared up and down the east coast?
Worldwide, extreme weather events like hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, flooding, heat waves and winter weather are occurring with increasing frequency over the last decade, and are expected to become even more prevalent as the Earth's climate changes.
On June 26 and 27, Stevens hosted Impacts of Extreme Climate Events on Urban Coasts, a conference dedicated to building understanding of extreme weather in a changing climate. Bringing together approximately 70 academic scientists, leading engineers, industry-researchers, government-decision makers and students, the conference specifically focused on the impact of extreme climate events on urban coasts, which – due to their dense populations and potential for destruction from both the sea and sky – are especially vulnerable to substantial human, economic and ecological loss from extreme weather.
"Among the biggest problems facing society are climate change and sea level rise, especially in the 136 port cities around the world that have more than one million inhabitants," said Alan Blumberg, Stevens professor and director of the Davidson Laboratory/Center for Maritime Systems, a nationally-renowned hydrodynamic and ocean engineering research center based at Stevens. "Our goal is to make people aware of what these changes are doing to our environment, especially what the impacts could be on the most populous urban coasts."
The conference was among the first that brought both scientists and engineers together to address the important issues. It began with a keynote address by Adam Parris of the NOAA Climate Program Office, who discussed how scientists and decision-makers can work together to prepare for and adapt to climate change. Then, in individual presentations and panel discussions, guest speakers such as Dr. Timothy Hall, senior scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (NASA/GISS), Dr. W. Richard Peltier, a renowned University of Toronto climate scientist, and Dr. Suzana Camargo of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory shared the latest research and knowledge of the science behind extreme climate events.
"Communities are most affected by changes in the frequency of local climate extremes, not global air temperature averages, and there has been an uptick in the most intense events like extreme heat and extreme rainfall," Hall said.
Camargo, who has studies patterns in the tracks of Atlantic hurricanes, showed how improvements to current hurricane models can help better predict how climactic factors will impact where hurricanes make landfall. Peltier shared a process which can predict U.S. east coast sea level rise by taking into account the ongoing melting of a 21,000 year old ice sheet near Baltimore, Md.
Other presenters focused on how best to communicate climate risk to key stakeholders and the public, using the Web, social media and other techniques. Speakers included Dr. Jeff Masters, co-founder, board member and director of Meteorology at Weather Underground, a weather data and services website, and Dr. Ben Strauss, chief operating officer and director of the Program on Sea Level Rise at Climate Central, a nonprofit climate science news and research organization. Masters said the public best responds to simple, clear messages about global warming free of scientific jargon. Strauss added that including targeted, local information about immediate risks makes the public more apt to pay attention.
Following a luncheon, more speakers addressed the most urgent challenges and obstacles that hinder practical solutions to protecting coastal cities, focusing on reducing the financial, infrastructure and public health risks of hurricanes, sea level rise and other hazards. The first day of the conference concluded with breakout sessions dedicated to dialogue about projecting and forecasting extreme weather, as well as the stakeholder perspective on what is "acceptable risk."
The emphasis on the second day of the conference was on urban coastal planning for extreme events. Michael Marrella from the New York City Mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability shared structural and educational initiatives underway for reducing erosion and coastal flooding risks to New York City's waterfront. Scott Schwarz from the Philadelphia Mayor's Office of Sustainability and Carl Spector of the City of Boston Air Pollution Control Commission outlined their cities' Climate Adaptation Plans. Larry Atkinson, Director of the Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative at Old Dominion University, shared case studies on human adaptation strategies to reduce the threat of flooding of Norfolk, Virginia Beach and other nearby cities.
The conference was sponsored by the Coastal Zone Community of Partners, Group on Earth Observations, which provides forecasts and other information required for informed decisions concerning the coastal zones, and the Consortium for Climate Risk in the Urban Northeast (a NOAA RISA project), which conducts research to reduce climate-related vulnerability in the urban Northeast. It was organized by Blumberg and Dr. Cynthia Rosenzweig, a senior research scientist at NASA/GISS, where she heads the Climate Impacts Group.
"Stevens is proud to host this group of the climate change leadership to innovate solutions to the problem of extreme climate events," said Blumberg. "This conference represents an important advance in our work on climate change."

As Ive made some warm weather rounds, I came across this deadout. It was on my list to feed but wasnt desperately low on stores.
When I opened it about three weeks ago it appeared to be a thriving colony. It was in a yard with another dozen hives, all of which appear to be doing well. The bees in the photo were dumped off of the screened bottom onto this sheet.
As it was on a screened bottom board with the plastic drop sheet in place, I went through the debris .and nary a mite. I shook the pile of dead bees over the sheet. Mites? Zip! All the same you know what killed it? Mites well along with a bit of ppb.

Digitisation is transforming the way supply chains work every single day. There is an unprecedented amount of information available to organizations to trace their goods, predict what interference may arise, and adjust course accordingly. Historical forecasting cannot keep par with the on-demand needs of 2020 and beyond, and organizations like ORSAY, Morrisons, and even tech giant Intel found savings within days of implementing AI-based technologies from Blue Yonder. What are you waiting for?
*As of February 2020, JDA Software is Blue Yonder.
This article from The Economist outlines varying types of digitisation that are changing the game for supply chains around the globe. From IoT sensors emitting humidity and temperature readings, to cross border blockchain transaction traceability, to global visibility and beyond, this paper will shed light on emerging technologies enabling and empowering organizations to optimize the way their supply chain functions.

Last year my family and I went to LEGO Kids Fest in Charlotte. My entire family loves LEGOs and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at Kids Fest. It was truly an event for children of all ages. Therefore, I was excited about attending the LEGO Brick Fest this year with the family. However, I was disappointed in this event, to say the least. It seemed to be more vendors trying to sell things, than there were things to do. We barely stayed for an hour. They also didn't have nearly as many LEGO creations as they did the previous year. I did find a few things for us to do like the LEGO miniature golf, which was fun, and the glow in the dark LEGO room, but that was about it.
I give Brick Fest a 3/10. Hopefully next year will be a better experience.
Side note – A few weeks after I went to Brick Fest, they sent me complimentary tickets to Minefaire in my local area, which was a nice gesture. Unfortunately, I was unable to go, and everyone I asked either already had tickets or were unable to go themselves.
Disclosure: I received complimentary tickets from U. S. Family Guide, but the thoughts are 100% mine.

Don't forget, macs switched from PowerPC processors to Intel a few years ago, so why pay the premium for the same hardware. If your goal is to get away from Windows and move to a unix, there are many excellent distros of Linux freely available or you can even run OS X if your wanting the mac look & feel. I have no first hand knowledge, but I hear Linux has better performance than mac OS X.
Appreciate the feedback guys, haven't made a switch just yet....JP
