Beak> don't pull any punches as far their influences are concerned. Their self-titled début was effectively a precise exercise is approximating the exact sonics, rhythms, and production, of Krautrock demi-gods Can and Neu!. It's very tempting to throw a 'but' in there, to say that it was a fanboy indulgence, but it was so good it didn't matter; but does it really matter anyway? It's not as if popular music hasn't been ploughing the same familiar furrows for decades anyway and where many pop/rock/indie musicians struggle to leave an imprint on the musical tapestry of their forebears the sheer facelessness of Beak>'s music actually works to their advantage. If it wasn't for the reputation that Geoff Barrow brings with him from his full-time occupation (in so much as three Portishead albums in 14 years can be called 'full time') Beak>'s output could easily be assimilated within the genre and era that so explicitly inspired it. The very obliqueness of their album titles and and their literally faceless press photo stand-ins contribute further to this quality, although the pseudo-numerically titled first two albums and showroom dummies could easily be another nod to Beak>'s influences.
The motorik beats, throbbing picked basslines and the modulated analogue synthesizers are all once again present and correct on >>, but far from acting merely as a late Sixties/Seventies time-capsule, Beak> actually manage to conjure some of the forward-looking spirit of the original Krautrock pioneers despite doing little to alter the template.
The tormented squeals on album opener 'The Gaol' could well be produced via vintage analogue synths, but their disorientating cacophony easily sounds as 2012 as it does 1972. The drum-less synth manipulation of 'Ladies Mile' is hardly envelope pushing, but it captures the exploratory made-in-a-laboratory mood of krautrock's more electro focussed side with quite serene results. Meanwhile 'Elevator', with its light percussive propulsion and gleaming electronics textures, breaks with the over-riding oppressiveness of the record with a glint of 'Europe Endless'-esque technophilic optimism in its eye.
That's not to say Beak> aren't effective in conventional Krautrock mode. 'Yatton' typifies this; a taut beat, bone dry bass guitar and eighth beat synth pulse set the pace from the beginning, but Beak> know how to shift gear without unlocking the groove, shifting an octave on the synth and simply adding a hi-hat to increase the urgency of the beat with unshowy precision. On 'Liar', one elasticated upper-register bass note that cuts through the looping low-end notes and bustling tom fills acts as a simple yet mesmeric focal point around which the addition of scatty synth arpeggios culminate in a dizzying final flurry. 'Spinning Top' shares the same basic DNA but moving at a much more soporific pace, and despite the addition of some bleary, barely comprehensible vocals and even something resembling a chorus, at six minutes the ennui begins to set in. At the same length, album closer 'Kidney' is a laborious dirge with a would be cathartic pay-off that just isn't worth the preceding mire.
Without undermining the worth of the sort of material that forms Beak>'s bread and butter, >> really hit its peaks when it blurs genre distinctions. Album centre piece 'Wulfstan II' puts the rock in krautrock with its unrelentingly nose-bloodying riffage with and unsettling incantational vocals briefly separated by passages of psychedelic guitar and organ noodling. You could call 'Egg Dog' psychedelic too, although it bears no resemblance to the aforementioned track. Instead its fuzzy warbling synths are almost woodwind-like in tone, more akin to baroque psychedelia of the sixties, and in their company the barely audible vocals have a gorgeous lullaby effect. The humble majesty of 'Egg Dog' (ridiculous title 'n' all) highlights the largely impersonal nature of >> that makes it easy to like, occasionally even lose yourself in, but difficult to love and commit yourself. But, hey, considering Barrow still has Portishead and Quakers (a hip-hop collective with 35 members), commitment doesn't really seem like the point.

Huzur gave a discourse on the Divine attribute of Al Razzaq (The Provider) in his Friday Sermon today. Explaining its various meanings according to the lexicon Huzur said Razzaq is an attribute of God as He alone provides overtly and covertly for all creation. It is a word that is only really used for Allah and not for anyone else. Huzur said this is a word that is part of every day Urdu and Punjabi language in a very limited way because its meanings and connotations are extensive. According to Imam Raghib the word Rizq (provision) means what is continually granted whether it is worldly or of the Hereafter. The word is also used for a share of something as it is used for food/sustenance. Another meaning of the word Rizq is everything that is beneficial.
The word Rizq is cited abundantly in the Holy Quran. Allah states in Surah Hud verse 7: And there is no creature that moves on the earth but it is for Allah to provide it with sustenance. And He knows its place of temporary settlement and permanent abode. All this is recorded in a clear Book. (11:7) Huzur said in this verse Allah has made a powerful declaration that it is Him alone Who provides. Huzur said apart from other forms of life there are million of insects inhabiting this earth and Allah has provided sustenance for them all in the earth. Huzur said indeed through research etc. it has been discovered how sustenance is provided for numerous insects but there are some creatures about which there is still no knowledge as to how they find their nourishment. Huzur said in agriculture part of the crop is used for human consumption and the rest is useful for animals and it is through Allah that everyone gets their sustenance. Whatever is granted is Rizq, including the Rizq of the Hereafter. That particular Rizq is only for mankind. The basis of that Rizq is spirituality and good works. The reward of this is given in this very world while its zenith is in the Hereafter. In order to dispense the spiritual Rizq Allah sends His Prophets, and it was through the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that Allah provided the most excellent spiritual sustenance, which will last forever. In the aforementioned verse the connotation of citing material provision and all living creations is to encourage reflection that Allah is the true Provider, Who is so kind and caring in this temporary life, why would He not then provide us Rizq for the life that will be forever.
Allah has unfolded the ways to attain spirituality in the Holy Quran; spiritual sustenance which was given to us in terms of quantity as well as quality through the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him). The Quran draws attention towards valuing the spiritual sustenance because some times not valuing it can lead to depravation of material provisions.
It states in the Holy Quran: And Allah sets forth the parable of a township which enjoyed security and peace; its provisions come to it in plenty from every quarter; but it denied the favours of Allah, so Allah made its dwellers taste a life wrapped in hunger and fear as a consequence of what they used do. [Surah Al Nahl verse 113] (16:113). Huzur said this is a citation of what happened in Mecca despite the prayer Hadhrat Ibrahim (on whom be peace) made for its inhabitants. However, on account of their rejection of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) the people of Mecca faced starvation and famine. As long as the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) lived among them provision would come into the town from everywhere and they did not face such a situation. After the migration of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) they faced a terrible famine and Abu Safyan came to Medina requesting the Prophet to pray for the state of hunger and fear of his brethren. The benefactor to all humanity that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was, rather than remind Abu Safyan of his dreadful persecution of Muslims, was moved and prayed for them. Allah accepted his prayers and the situation was alleviated. Indeed his enemies acknowledged that he was truthful yet they did not desist from opposition. Eventually victory of Mecca took place and they were conquered.
Huzur said today the world needs to think about the current food shortage and inflation. If a dire situation (as aforementioned) could happen earlier, it could happen again. Is the current state of affair a result of the dearth of spirituality in the world? There is a clamour of food shortage and financial crisis in USA, the most powerful and rich country of the world. This is despite the amazing agricultural development of the last fifty years with crops yielding many times over what they did decades ago. To the Muslims Allah has made it absolutely clear that it is Him Who is the Razzaq Who provides spiritual as well as material sustenance. Huzur said Muslims need to be aware of this more than the others.
In the Holy Quran Allah states: And how many an animal there is that carries not its sustenance! Allah provides for it and for you. And He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (29:61) [Surah Al Ankabut verse 61]. Here our attention is drawn to the fact that no matter what the situation is, those who do good works should be mindful to abide by Allahs commandments and stay firm on Allahs religion. Huzur said one should never entertain the thought that if one does not follow influential people and powerful governments one would lose ones livelihood or sustenance. No Muslim government should ever entertain the fear that their trade or gains are associated with such and such country therefore it is OK for them to deceive other Muslim countries, as it is happening. Fear whether on an individual level or a national level that ones sustenance is tied up with anyone besides Allah is wholly erroneous. Allah always provides for those who fulfil their honour. He is the Master of the heaven and the earth, would He not have the power to provide for those who turn to Him with sincerity?
Citing verse 63 of Surah Al Ankabut: Allah enlarges the means of sustenance for such of His servants as He pleases, and straitens them for whom He pleases. Surely, Allah has full knowledge of all things. (29:63) Huzur said if the powerful and wealthy countries truly provide for themselves then why is there such clamour among them of shortage? Huzur said Allah provides for the needs of a believer and also generates a sense of contentment in them. One should always only ever have the true Provider in view.
Huzur said in the age of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) one needs to specifically have a grip on reality. By virtue of the technological mass communication and mutual dependence the poor nations consider the wealthy nations the be all and end all. Allah has stated that He is the Lord of everything and everyone rather than some person of this world or some power of this world. Therefore seek refuge only of the true Lord and inculcate an insight and understanding of Him and be of those who attain spiritual sustenance.
Huzur read an extract from the noble writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) in which he explains that too much dependence on ones property, inheritance or friends is a dangerous shirk (associating partners with Allah). He said the Holy Quran is replete with verses exhorting that Allah undertakes to provide for the righteous. One who does not appreciate this, in fact rejects the Divine attributes by virtue of which Allah provides. The extract further elucidated the Unity of Allah.
Huzur cited And in the alternation of night and day, and the provision that Allah sends down from the sky, whereby He quickens the earth after its death, and in the change of the winds, are Signs for a people who try to understand. (45:6) [Surah Al Jathiyah verse 6] and explained that this verse has a message in particular for the Muslims. They observe that all the developments and advances are made during the day time, similarly spiritual life has periods of darkness and of light. The time preceding the era of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) was one of the darkest gloom of the spiritual kind. He was given the last Shariah and the final Book which will illumine hearts and mind till the end of time. However, the Prophet (peace and blessings be on him) said that it was destined that after him another period of darkness would come, through which the light of the perfect Shariah will continue to shine only in places. He said that it will be with the arrival of the Messiah of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) that this dark spell will vanish and the whole world will be alighted, spiritual sustenance will be sent down which will revive everyone. In complete subordination of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) the Messiah (on whom be peace) will bring that spiritual light which will once again illumine the world.
Huzur said Allah has sent this spiritual light and spiritual water through the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) who is a true and ardent devotee of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and it is our duty to seek its beneficence and doing so is as obligatory as it is to accept the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) because he commanded about it. Huzur said lexicons also describe Rizq as rainfall just as the aforementioned verse (45:6) signifies. Huzur said now that this spiritual water has descended there will be a long period of light, i.e. light of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) for the dissemination of which the Promised Messiahs advent took place.
In Surah Qaf verse 12 (50:12) Allah states: As a provision for Our servants; and We quicken thereby a dead land. Even so shall be the Resurrection. Huzur said here rainfall is cited as bringing back dead earth to life. He said indeed this can be observed in many areas of the world, as Thar in Sind, Pakistan. Regions where sandstorms blow in dry weather are transformed into green and verdant terrain after rainfall and where due to dry weather there is severe food shortage, rainfall heralds harvest and Rizq. Indeed a sensible person notices this and in his/her own way glorifies the Creator. For a Muslim the perception is that much more acute. Momentarily any religious person acknowledges that sustenance come from God but people forget. Allah is thus reminding that just as He brings life to dead earth/soil He will resurrect mankind after death when we will be held accountable for what we did in this life. If one wishes for good in the Hereafter one should do good works in this world for whatever we earn here will avail us in the Hereafter. May Allah always cover us in His mercy and forgiveness and make us tread the path that is of His pleasure and may He also give sense to those who do not accept the truth.
Citing And enjoin Prayer on thy people and be constant therein. We ask thee not for provision; it is We who provide for thee. And the end is for righteous. (20:133) Huzur said the most excellent part of the spiritual sustenance is worship of God, in particular Salat. Huzur said we should make special arrangement for Salat in homes. Indeed Salat is also associated with the blessing of Khilafat. Huzur said in the above verse Rizq is mentioned with worship of God. Huzur explained that sometimes Rizq is obtained through unwarrantable means. To attain Allahs blessing whereas it is essential to observe Salat it is also vital to seek pure Rizq (livelihood), in fact those who are sincere in their worship have been guaranteed to stay firm on pure livelihood.
Huzur elucidated a fine point with reference to (20:133) in the words of Hadhrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him). He said that if Allah does not ask for any provisions then why do we have to make financial sacrifices? Explaining Huzur said Allah promises to return several-fold all monetary contributions, subscriptions etc. made in His cause. Allah does not enjoin financial giving because (God forbid) He has any need, rather this is so that we may receive the return of our good deed several-fold.
Huzur concluded on prayer that may Allah make each deed of ours attain a good end in this world and in the Hereafter and may He bestow us with His most excellent Rizq each moment.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

I was sitting on a plane a few days ago, listening to this album and lamenting the EQ on the mix. I decided to do a little research on the internet today, and a remastered version has been waiting for my discovery for the past five years.
I feel like a complete clown for not having seen this until today. On the bright side, though, there is indeed a remastered version of FYOSS, and that is a bright side, indeed.
Better five years late than never to have found it at all...

The San Diego City Council on Tuesday passed new policies that make it easier to reuse household water for landscaping.
In a unanimous vote, the council approved changes to streamline the process for piping graywater from sinks, showers, washing machines and bathtubs into gardens.
Graywater systems can help boost conservation and reduce residents' water bills.
The changes finalized Tuesday are meant to clarify unclear and contradictory rules about graywater systems, and to remove certain obstacles to their use.
With the revisions, no permit will be required for graylines from washing machines and sinks that discharge less than 250 gallons a day into a yard.
The vote also simplifies the permitting process for more extensive systems that divert water from other household fixtures. And they call for development of a public outreach program that would promote use of graywater.
Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who pushed for the changes while serving on the Natural Resources and Culture Committee, said she wants to further modify the rules.
She said the city should establish a rebate program for people who install graywater systems as well as explore incentives for developers to include "graywater-ready" plumbing for all new residential construction.
Lightner asked city staff to return with updates on those proposals.
A typical family of four can save 16,000 gallons per year through graywater use, said Josh Robinson, director of the San Diego Sustainable Living Institute.
The group is hosting the "Great Graywater Challenge," with the goal of installing at least one graywater system per day in San Diego. For more information, visit

Pressure on ChoicePoint and other data brokers mounted Thursday as members of Congress called for investigations and new legislation to better regulate the industry. The intense scrutiny comes in response to last week's revelations that 145,000 U.S. citizens are at risk of identity theft after criminals stole a host of personal information from the database giant.
Separately, reports surfaced that two ChoicePoint executives sold $21 million worth of stock beginning in November, just days after the first arrest in the ChoicePoint case last October. ChoicePoint CEO Derek Smith told the Atlanta-Journal Consitution that the sales were planned -- and the required papers filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission -- well before the extent of the break-in was known.
According to a Nov. 3 company press release, Smith filed plans to sell 11 percent of his stake in the firm last fall. Authorities arrested Olatunji Oluwatosin on Oct. 27 in connection with the data theft.
The sales began Nov. 9, according to SEC filings, with Smith selling 21,140 shares each week thereafter. Each sale netted Smith between $856,00 and $929,000. President Douglas Curling sold shares on a similar schedule, netting between $335,000 and $365,000 each week.
The firm didn't immediately respond to MSNBC.com requests for comment on the stock purchase. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution quoted ChoicePoint spokesman James Lee as saying the the stock sale had been approved by ChoicePoint's board on Oct. 26, before Oluwatosin's arrest.
"If you are trying to make the case that this is somehow insider trading, you are going down the wrong road," the report quoted Lee as saying. There were no trades by Smith of Curling filed with the SEC during the previous eight months.
Congresssional hearings planned
News of the stock sales contributed to the already intense scrutiny ChoicePoint is facing. On Thursday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter announced that his committee would hold hearings into identity theft and data brokers in the wake of last week's revelations.
"I got a letter from Senator Leahy yesterday on the identity theft issue and I immediately said we can hold a hearing," Specter, R-Pa., told reporters. No date has been set for the hearing.
Another senator plans to introduce legislation soon that would give the Federal Trade Commission jurisdiction over data brokers like ChoicePoint. The measure proposed by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., would extend the provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and its recent update to govern commercial data brokers, according to Nelson aide Dan McGloughlin.
Such a law would give consumers broad new protections. U.S. residents would be entitled to review data stored on ChoicePoint computers once annually for free, and have the ability to correct errors. Consumers would also be able to see a list of companies that have requested a peek at their personal information.
"The senator feels strongly that if something isn't done to reign in and bring these businesses under a regulatory agency, then Americans can kiss their privacy goodbye," said McGloughlin.
Nelson's bill would join a series of related bills that have already been introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. One would give residents nationwide a right to know if their personal information has been stolen by a data thief and used to commit a crime. A similar law in California led to the initial disclosure of the ChoicePoint data theft. Currently, California is the only state with such a disclosure law.
GAO to be asked to look into terror risks
MSNBC.com has also learned that Nelson and House member John Conyers, D-Mich., plan to call for a General Accounting Office investigation of government contracts with commercial data brokers. A person familiar with the request said the investigation will look into the use of firms like ChoicePoint by U.S. intelligence agencies, including the CIA and the FBI. The request will also ask investigators to determine if such databases are vulnerable to misuse by terrorists.
Meanwhile, legal troubles mount for Atlanta-based ChoicePoint. A California resident named Eileen Goldberg, who claims her information was exposed in the privacy breach, has sued the firm and is seeking class action status for her case.
And the larger story of identity theft continues to attract attention from lawmakers. At a news conference Thursday, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., blasted the Westlaw legal information service for making Social Security numbers available to some paid customers. His office said he would introduce legislation soon to bar the practice.
Westlaw responded by saying the service is available to very few customers, mostly government agencies with regulatory responsibilities.
"The information the senator is concerned with is not available to the general public," the firm said in a statement.
ChoicePoint issued a statement Thursday supporting legislation designed to protect consumers. The firm said it would back independent oversight of its industry, stiffer criminal penalties, and disclosure laws.
"ChoicePoint is also renewing its call for a national discussion -- involving legislators, regulators, privacy advocates and the information industry -- on how to ensure that information is used responsibly, that the positive benefits of information use are preserved and that the illegal uses of data are severely punished," the firm said.
Only a first step
But legislation proposed so far is only a tepid first step towards a solution, warned George Washington University professor Daniel Solove, author of a new book on the data brokerage industry, The Digital Person.
"(The proposed legislation) is better than nothing, but it still needs to go further. There are a lot of unaddressed questions," he said.
Giving consumers access to their records at each company is meaningless if people don't know which companies to ask, Solove said.
"(The legislation) doesn't really address issues such as, how are people to know who these companies are? Many people hadn't heard of ChoicePoint," he said. "And it's not just ChoicePoint. There are hundreds of data brokers. If you don't know who the companies, are what good is a right of access?
Number of victims still unclear
Meanwhile, investigators in Los Angeles have reduced earlier estimates of the number of victims who might have been exposed by the crime. Published reports last week suggested Los Angeles law enforcement officials believed 400,000 or more people may have been victimized by the data leak -- and there were hints at a far larger number of victims. But on Thursday law enforcement officials said it's too early to tell just how many victims will ultimately turn up.
"Without going through the investigative process, there's no way of knowing how far-reaching it will be," said Lt. Robert Costa of the Southern California High-Tech Task Force.
A report in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution on Thursday said that Detective Duane Decker of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department testified in a December court hearing that ChoicePoint representatives told him "something like 4 million people have been exposed" in the data leak incident. But officials from the sheriff's department told NBC News on Thursday that many of those records were duplicates, and the company's assertion that there were only 145,000 people exposed nationwide is the best current estimate of the number of victims.

I always love meeting people, so was delighted to hear about Plus North, an event for curvy women held in Leeds. Similar gatherings are usually in London but Toni and Becky, the organisers of Plus North were keen that women above the Watford Gap have an event of our very own!
I like Leeds, it's such a bustling lively city, and as such it reminds me so much of my very own Liverpool.
Held last weekend, Plus North was at the Aspire venue in the city centre. Upon entering we were given a hearty welcome, a generous drinks voucher, plus a lanyard with our names and the ID of our blogs on them.
I was overwhelmed by the number of 'plus size' bloggers there are in the UK, and how many attended Plus North. Many I had 'met' on Twitter or Facebook beforehand, how nice it is to already know people, it makes the whole business of making friends so much easier.
Plus North not only boasted lots of clothing retailers (Evans, Simply Be, Curvissa, Chesca, Excite Clothing, F&F, Ann Harvey) with special offers and sample sales for delegates, but the event had freebies as well – and who doesn't adore a gift?
The makeup brand Benefit who I wasn't familiar with were doing free make up makeovers so guess who was pretty early in the queue?
It was clearly all hands on deck as I was lucky enough to have Leanne, Benefit's Area Manager for Yorkshire, do my makeup. I'm not sure about you but I find myself getting into a bit of a routine, pretty much doing the same thing for day time then of an evening slapping on a bit more eyeliner and lipstick, so it's always helpful to get some tips from the experts on how to make the best of one's face.
There were also some lovely ladies – whose names I'm ashamed to say I have forgotten – offering manicures in exchange for a donation if we could spare a few coins. They were raising money for a Cystic Fibrosis charity, and of course Plus North delegates were happy to donate in exchange for a pampering!
We were also treated to cupcakes and brownies (essential foodstuffs) and a fashion show, made all the more unique because the models were delegates and bloggers! Each looked absolutely gorgeous in such flattering styles.
The stalls and freebies were ace – but the best part of all was meeting fellow bloggers and curvy ladies; what a friendly, vibrant community to be a part of! The overwhelming enthusiasm for fashion really came across, but there was a sense of sadness too that much of the time women felt they couldn't go shopping on the high street – one of life's true pleasures – due to a sheer lack of choice and instead were forced to rely on the internet.
Ordering something then waiting for even just a day or two for it to arrive simply isn't the same as the buzz of trying something on in a shop, finding it fabulous and taking it home. I'm just sorry so many women don't get to experience that.
By the end of event, Toni and Becky were saying they hope to make Plus North an annual event, and hold it in a different northern city each year.
Ladies, Liverpool would love to have you…


text: As a sport, cycling has long been one of the biggest advocates for the use of sports supplements. The intensity and effort required in all disciplines of cycling demand a nutritional programme that provides the energy, power and stamina to succeed. TabsIntro Whilst distances and workloads vary, the common factor with any cycling discipline is that your body must produce the power and intensity to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. Although the concept is quite similar, the nutritional requirements for endurance and sprint events are quite different; long distance cyclists must be proficient in utilising all forms of fuel in the body - whilst sprint cyclists need the type of fuel that can provide explosive bursts of power. In all disciplines of cycling exercise must promote a number of physiological changes to help make the body more efficient and improve physical performance. Therefore, it is vital to ensure that the body receives the essential nutrients it requires to improve fitness and help avoid injury and illness. A number of sports supplements can go a long way to improve physical capabilities and push the body beyond opponents. Helpful Tips Energy to cycleCarbohydrates are essential to fuel both long and short distance cycling by keeping muscle-glycogen concentrations high. When concentrations are low performance will be negatively affected. It has been shown that insufficient amounts of carbohydrates can also affect co-ordination as the Central Nervous System becomes fatigued. Tri Carb is an extremely effective carbohydrate drink which can be consumed before, during and after exercise to great effect. As a rapid source of energy, Tri Carb will fuel exercise whilst helping to keep the body hydrated; particularly important during long distance events. Fuel to aid recovery and help growthDue to the high work rates in both distance and sprint cycling, it is advisable to consume high amounts of protein and carbohydrates upon completing a session. This is when muscle glycogen levels are at their lowest and most susceptible to replenishment. Recovery XS combines protein, carbohydrates and a number of other excellent ingredients to help promote recovery after exercise. The nutrients included in Recovery XS have been proven to improve recovery and help the body repair itself from the damage incurred during intense exercise. Improving performanceOnce the basic components of your diet are in place, such as carbohydrates and proteins, it is useful to look at products that can enhance your performance and push your fitness beyond your opponents. Sprint cyclists may find Caffeine to be an extremely effective performance enhancer when taken before exercise. Caffeine can increase adrenaline levels, provide extra mental focus and boost energy. Both disciplines would benefit from the addition of Creapure, an extremely pure form of Creatine Monohydrate. Particularly beneficial to sprint cyclists Creapure helps your muscles produce ATP, improving explosive power and strength. During a long distance race, cyclists will benefit from Creapure's ability to re-produce ATP enhancing the ability to perform repetitive sprints. Looking after your bodySpending a significant amount of time in the open elements and pushing the body to such physical extremes can leave a cyclist particularly vulnerable to illness and injury. The high volume of exercise and the aerobic nature of cycling demand a diet sufficient in all vitamins and minerals. Alpha Men Super Multi-Vitamin will help the body flush out any unwanted toxins and also help improve the rate at which your body repairs itself after heavy physical exercise.

My husband was working yesterday and my son went up north with friends, so I accepted an invitation to hike along Nahal Prat/Wadi Kelt. I haven't seen this area for a long time. If you don't like crowds, this is not the hike for you during the Passover holiday! The pools and parks are jammed with picnickers. However, if you are fit enough to hike the trail (medium difficulty, not recommended for very young children), you will quickly reach areas without crowds.
The Nahal Prat route from Anatot to the car park on the highway near Nofei Prat is about 5-6 km. Add another kilometer if you're coming by foot from Anatot. When the upper and lower parking lots get full, the Parks Authority start turning people back. They won't let taxis through. Add another kilometer if you walk to Ein Al Fuwar (Ein Mabu'a). There is a charge at the Anatot park entrance. At the other end, Ein Al Fuwar is free (and as full as you expect it to be!). You will find the hours, entrance fee, and other useful info in English at the Israel Nature & Parks Authority site.
We took the scenic route by foot from Anatot. The normally brown and dusty hills are covered with desert rocket, white mustard, and horehound flowers in spring:
Near the bottom you pass the Firan monastery (Russian Orthodox). It is open to the public (modest dress required) during certain hours.
In this view of the monastery church, you can see the original hermits' cells in the cliff wall. I don't think they're inhabited at the moment. This photo was taken quite a distance away, which is why it's a bit hazy.
At the bottom of the trail are couple pools and a picnic area. A very crowded picnic area.
This boy brought over a pan of shakshouka (eggs poached in sauteed tomatoes and peppers). Some people bring enough equipment to furnish a small kitchen. This is not your average picnic.
A woman asked me to photograph a couple teenage girls by the cold water pool and gave me her email address to send her the photos. (I sent five photos this morning. She thanked me and said the photos were lovely.)
The Nahal Prat trail follows a stream that flows year round, past several natural pools, stands of wild mint and pampas grass, and lots of rock ledges. The trail crosses the stream several times. Although there are rocks placed as stepping stones, they're slippery. You have to be quite agile to keep your shoes dry the entire trip. I only got one toe wet, at the last crossing.
Wild mint:
Pool with high walls and small waterfall:
The rock formations are stunning, full of natural caves and ledges:
The ponds are teaming with matzah-eating fish. I've heard that you can get a fish pedicure as well, but I'm just not into fish nibbling my toes. If you stick your feet into the water they'll swarm around your feet. It's a bit disquieting.
One of the boys stuck a piece of matzah between his toes.
Fish carrying off a piece of matzah.
There are a few spots where you have to climb on iron bars. You don't need to be a professional rock climber but you do need to be in reasonably good physical shape to manage the steep slopes.
If you are walking from the parking lot at the end of the hiking route to Ein Fuwar, there are two routes. The road is the longer way (about 1.5 km) but it's smoother and easier on the feet. The dry wadi is quicker but it's murder on the feet — lots of gravel, sand, big and small rocks.
Unfortunately, my battery went dead before the end of the hike (forgot that I'd shot video of the matzah baking), so I can't show you Ein Fuwar. You'll have to imagine a tiny swimming pool surrounded by about 200 people — haredi and Sephardi families, Arab teenagers, anyone who's looking for a free activity during Passover (which is about 85% of the country). The site has porta-toilets and a refreshments counter, which were both pronounced acceptable. I noticed that the patio includes the mosaic floor of an small church (you can see the outlines of the rotunda).

Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (BAC) is moving to settle a lawsuit initially filed on behalf of some 700 black brokers who charged the firm with discrimination, the bank said Wednesday. The news came before President Barack Obama spoke at the Lincoln Memorial commemorating the 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have a Dream" speech.
The amount of the preliminary settlement, which will not be reviewed by a federal judge until Tuesday, is reportedly $160 million.
"We are working toward a very positive resolution of a lawsuit filed in 2005 and enhancing opportunities for African-American financial advisors," the bank said in a statement. It declined to confirm the amount of the settlement or disclose the current number of black advisors at the firm.
As of June 30, the number of financial advisors at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch was 15,759, while the total headcount for client-facing financial professionals was 19,689.
The Chicago legal firm representing the advisors, Stonewall & Friedman, did not return phone calls about the lawsuit.
Nashville-based advisor George McReynolds brought the case to the courts in order to address the lack of support he said he received from management and co-workers. His allegations date back to 2001.
Ironically, many of the suit's claims stem from issues that arose during the leadership of Stanley O'Neal, who is black. O'Neal joined Merrill in 1986, was CFO from 1998 to 2000 and became head of the private-client operations in 2000, though he had never been an advisor.
In 2001, O'Neal was tapped as president of Merrill, and he moved into the role of CEO and chairman in 2003, a role he held until 2008. He was forced out for starting merger talks with Bank of America and Wachovia without first consulting with Merrill's board of directors.
In a deposition, O'Neal said that it was possible that black brokers could have a difficult time building a book of business at Merrill since many of the firm's prospective clients were white and might not trust brokers who were of a different ethnicity, according to a New York Times report.
Continuing Divide
Speaking Thursday about ethnic relations and economic mobility in the United States, New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said, "Though we have accomplished much in the past 50 years, our aspiration for equality has not subsided, and the pursuit of equal justice under law must continue … Today, let us not only celebrate the culmination of the great movement-building of Dr. King's era, but also let us recommit to taking our part in his mission of greater justice and greater equality with each generation."
Experts say that the number of black financial advisors is hard to pin down but remains quite low nationwide, not reflecting the fact that African-Americans account for some 13% of the U.S. population.
In addition, a study released by Prudential Financial in May found that only about one-fourth of African-Americans feel any financial-services company has effectively shown support of the black community. Across all income levels, African-Americans are 13% less likely than the general population to have been contacted by a financial advisor.
A 2012 study from the University of Illinois-Chicago found that black financial advisors at a major firm earned about 33% to 40% less than their white counterparts. Only 2% of advisors at the company were black, and more than 85% of the firm's offices had no black advisors.
Isolation limited their ability to join brokerage teams, the study concluded. Close to 42% of non-black financial advisors were able to join advisor teams, but less than 12% of black brokers could.
Diversity programs seemed to compound the challenges of black advisors, the report concluded, saying such efforts "typically have little impact on discriminatory workplace barriers and often do more harm than good."

Summer soon gives way to fall. You'll likely not see the hot temperatures from summer, but you probably won't see too many cold days either. Most Sims won't bother to change into their outerwear when going outside unless it's raining. During fall, the symbol representing the season is a red leaf.
Increased Weather and Parasols[edit]
Fall does produce more precipitation than most of the other seasons, which might cause your Sims a little distress. Becki is in danger of shorting out due to being a SimBot, but even Pyro and Pete will draw "Soaked!" debuffs from being out in a storm for too long.
To counter the elements, you can buy a parasol through Buy Mode. Head to the Entertainment sort, and the Miscellaneous subsort. There are two types of parasols: one to repel precipitation (the Rain Disruptor), and one to repel the sun in the summer (the Sun's Bane Parasol). We buy a Rain Disruptor, then lay it on the ground anywhere in the house. Once Becki is up, we'll select her as the active Sim, then interact with parasol and use the "Put In Inventory" command. (We also could have simply click-dragged the parasol into Becki's inventory manually after returing to Live Mode.)
You may have noticed in the above screenshot that the parasol can be upgraded. Depending on a Sim's handiness, you can make a parasol unbreakable, or even add a glow to make it light up at night. Parasols quickly degrade when used in many storms and often need to be replaced. They cannot be repaired, so if it starts to look damaged, you should sell it and buy a new one. Sims will still deploy a broken parasol, but they'll draw the Soaked! debuff anyway.
Sims will automatically pocket their parasol if they perform pretty much any action other than walking, so you'll need to micromanage them. Becki may be protected from a storm here, but if she decides to work out in the sandy area by the pool, she'll put the parasol away and short out if it's raining. Even if it wasn't Becki, the human Sim would draw the Soaked! debuff and be pretty miserable.
Spooky Day[edit]
Spooky Day is the specific name of the Leisure Day for fall. Not only does everyone get some time off, but you may have costumed kids knocking on your door for treats! Candy is pulled out of nothingness, so you won't need to worry about going shopping in Buy Mode to stock up. You can also throw a party and make the attire "Costume" to see the creative outfits your neighbors have thrown together.
In order to decorate for Spooky Day, you may want to head to the grocery store and pick up a few pumpkins, as Pyro does here. Once you're home, interact with them in your inventory, and then you can choose to carve a Jack-o-lantern in several different shapes. Once it's done, you cna move it around in Buy Mode and place it wherever you wish.
Fall Festival[edit]
Since Pyro had fun at the Summer Festival last season, and he's now sleeping off crashing from about 14 different hot chocolates, Pete decides to leave his brother behind and head down to the abandoned warehouse this time.
There's aren't as many events in the Fall Festival as in the Summer Festival, but there is still a lot to do. For some strange reason, Pete really wants his face painted, so we go ahead and let him do it to get started with his festival fun. It earns him a few tickets and he's the one who looks ridiculous (especially because something went horribly wrong), so why not?
Pete then proceeds to enter the apple bobbing contest and pie eating contest, as well as get a fall greeting card picture taken. There's a "spooky house" to check out, which helps to fill the Fun meter too. The Fall Festival is often decorated with hay bales which can be spread around, but they don't have any effect other than to make a mess. Still, there are plenty of people to meet, and as Pete finishes his activies and collects his tickets, he's made some new friends that can come to parties!

Command performance: Fine Arabian Stallions Timed by GRIEB & BENZINGER
Now it's a case of GRIEB & BENZINGER, fulfillers of horological dreams and fine watch wishes.
To realise the desire of a watch collector and horse enthusiast from the Arabian region, GRIEB & BENZINGER specially created the POLARIS from 2011's BOUTIQUE Collection in solid white gold and palladium alloy.
Due to the owner's passion for Arabian stallions, the watch for this collector needed to incorporate a colour scheme that would complement a special saddle especially made for him together with made-to-measure riding boots and the steel fittings of a riding harness.
A white-gold-and-honey-brown combination allowed GRIEB & BENZINGER to fulfill the client's custom order. The watch is crafted in the subtle white gold and palladium alloy with a hand-guilloché bezel and a solid case.
The mechanical movement, as with all GRIEB & BENZINGER watches, was created in-house using only traditional craftsmanship, machines and tools: skeletonisation, guilloché and engraving were all completed by hand.
The multi-part dial, the hand-guilloché and semi-skeletonised caseback dial allows a view of the technical movement modification of the hour and minute indications. It is crafted in solid Sterling silver and glows with a white Breguet frosted finish, a technique that is currently only applied by GRIEB & BENZINGER. The applied red gold skeletonised dial elements hover gracefully over the base dial.
And the price for such artistry? €36.850 net price (excluding tax) in a white gold and palladium alloy (€43.850 incl. VAT Germany/EU).

A running discussion on the Cincinnati Reds and everything else in the baseball universe.

2008 in Hindsight: The Affeldt and Fogg Signings
Jeremy Affeldt
Prior to the season, I thought the Affeldt signing was a good one for the Reds due to both on the field and off the field reasons. Affeldt actually came through in both departments, as his on field production was good enough to earn him a Type B free agent classification.
However, was his production so good as to entice the Reds to sign him again? Personally, I really hope not. In 2008, Affeldt posted a 3.33 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, a 9.2 K/9, and a 2.02 GB/FB ratio. His performance exceded all reasonable expectations, but now is the time to cut bait.
As good as Affeldt was in 2008, the volatility of both the relief pitcher position and Affeldt himself makes him a mediocre bet for long term success. In addition, by re-signing him, the Reds would fail to maximize the value of their assets.
As I mentioned in my post when the Reds signed Affeldt, they need to "churn" players. By re-signing both Affeldt and David Weathers, the Reds would be holding onto their assets for far too long. In fact, they would likely be holding on so long that they would be running the value of their assets into the ground.
If they let Affeldt and Weathers walk for the compensatory draft picks, then they can exchange the value of their aging assets for young prospects to plug in at the bottom of the organization. If they re-sign Affeldt and Weathers, then they are likely to lose the value of the assets when Affeldt and Weathers retire or disappear into obscurity in the future.
The true choice isn't between re-signing Affeldt and Weathers or letting them walk, but rather whether to exchange aging assets for younger ones or to ride the aging assets until their is no value left in the organization.
To me the choice is simple. For smaller market teams, players must be churned to keep the value of the assets in the organization.
Affeldt was a great signing because he could be signed for only one season and had hte potential to net a compensatory pick with a solid season. He had the solid season we needed, so now it's time to cash in on the gamble.
Josh Fogg
As for the Josh Fogg signing, I didn't think it made any sense and thought it could be detrimental to the young pitching prospects. At the time, I thought signing a veteran pitcher instead of going with the younger pitchers only made sense for three reasons, none of which were satisfied by the Josh Fogg signing.
1) The veteran lacks the upside of the prospect, but will provide better production in the short run.
2) The veteran will work more innings and deeper into games than the prospect.
3) The veteran serves as a stop gap to give the younger pitchers more time in the minors to develop.
Fogg failed #1 by posting a lackluster 7.58 ERA in 78.1 innings. He failed #2 by averaging less than 5 innings per start. And, he arguably failed #3 because someone like Matt Maloney was probably ready to step in. Perhaps a case could be made that Fogg filled a need, especially given the injury to Daryl Thompson and the ineffectiveness of Homer Bailey, but Fogg was largely an unmitigated disaster and sadly not exactly an unexpected one.
While the Reds may have been right in wanting additional depth as insurance for always volatile young pitching, they'll have to do better than Josh Fogg in the future.

Affeldt signing for 2 yrs/$8 million with the Giants made clear why signing him wouldn't have been prudent. You get the sandwich pick and the $8 million that would have taken is free to use elsewhere. Worst case scenario is that the bullpen would crash and burn without him but that's unlikely. Good non-signing. I hope they replace him with young pitcher depth and not with a free agent. Same should go for Weathers.ReplyDelete
Hey Matt,ReplyDelete
I agree, though I do think the signing is a good one for the Giants, who get a lefty with a power arm who can throw a lot of innings out of the bullpen. That said, I just don't think there is anyway that Affeldt at $4M per season provides more value to the Reds organization than the draft pick.
As for his replacement, I'd also like to see the Reds turn to an in-house option. Danny Herrera is a guy that I actually like quite a bit. He has succeeded in some tough pitching environments, especially at high altitude in college, due in large part to his heavy groundball tendencies. Personally, I'd have no problem with having him as the second lefty in the bullpen. If not, then maybe it's time to give Matt Maloney a look, though I'd still like to see what he could do as a starter.
If the Reds choose to go the free agent route, then I'd like to see them bring in someone like Affeldt on a one year deal. Someone who, if he has a good season, could again net us compensatory picks next offseason.
As much as I like Affeldt, I think letting him walk was a no-brainer.
Anyway, thanks for the comment!!

| 8°C Belfast
The legacy of Margaret Thatcher includes the premature death of many Britons and a continuing burden of suffering, a group of public health academics has claimed.
The experts from Durham University denounced the impact of Thatcherite policies on the well-being of the British public after they concluded their study into social inequality in the 1980s.
Unnecessary unemployment, welfare cuts and damaging housing policies are three factors they blame for the negative impact.
They also accuse the governments of Baroness Thatcher of wilfully engineering an economic catastrophe across large parts of Britain by dismantling traditional industries to undermine the power of working class organisations.
Co-author Professor Clare Bambra, from the Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing at Durham University, said: "Our paper shows the importance of politics and of the decisions of governments and politicians in driving health inequalities.
"Advancements in public health will be limited if governments continue to pursue neoliberal economic policies, such as the current welfare state cuts being carried out under the guise of austerity."
The group also took aim at the coalition Government, saying it has opened up the NHS to markets and competition.
Co-author Professor David Hunter, from Durham University's Centre for Public Policy and Health, said: "Taking its inspiration from Thatcher's legacy, the coalition government has managed to achieve what Thatcher felt unable to, which is to open up the NHS to markets and competition.
"Its task was made considerably easier by the preceding Labour government which laid the foundations for the changes introduced in April 2013."
Other policies during her time as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990, such as selling off council houses, they say resulted in "a mushrooming of homelessness due to a chronic shortage of affordable social housing".
The other universities involved in the study, published in the International Journal of Health Services, were Liverpool, West of Scotland, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
