Environment Variables: On Surplus, Scarcity, Fear & GreedBy Mark Sigal
August 18, 2009
I am big believer that markets gravitate between FEAR and GREED, and that industries are driven by core assumptions about the SCARCITY or SURPLUS of enabling resources. Think about the stock market in terms of the former (it's heavily outlook driven), and the evolution of computing, as afforded by the latter (i.e., the commoditization of processing, storage and bandwidth).

The news out of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (the BLS) was grim this weak - the unemployment rate had reached 8.1%, climbing two whole percentage points in the last quarter. This rise is even more stunning given that unemployment had reportedly been stable for the past several years at around 5%, though this may also be simply a reflection that the numbers haven't been cooked quite so vigorously.

I had to read that a few times, once to count how many times he used burr, to follow what he was saying. No wonder why people get confused when talking about sharpening.Many assume that an edge burr is an edge burr and the presence of any burr indicates a specific level of sharpness that can only be refined further by polishing or stropping.

A San Francisco-area toy company that found itself in a public dispute with the Beastie Boys said on Tuesday that it had reached a settlement with that hip-hop group over its use of the band's song "Girls" in a popular viral video. In November, the toy company, GoldieBlox, gained widespread attention for a video which showed girls building an elaborate Rube Goldberg device and singing a version of that song with alternate lyrics celebrating their scientific achievements. GoldieBlox filed a lawsuit against the Beastie Boys, asserting its right to use the song in its video; the band countered that the video was "an advertisement that is designed to sell a product," and that it does not allow its songs to be used for such purposes. The band filed a copyright infringement suit in December. On Tuesday, a press representative for GoldieBlox said that suit had been settled, adding in a statement: "That settlement includes (a) the issuance of an apology by GoldieBlox, which will be posted on GoldieBlox's website, and (b) a payment by GoldieBlox, based on a percentage of its revenues, to one or more charities selected by Beastie Boys that support science, technology, engineering and mathematics education for girls." A press representative for the Beastie Boys confirmed these details of the settlement.

Beastie Boys Continue Copyright Battle With Toy CompanyBy Dave Itzkoff
Despite an earlier effort to broker peace between the Beastie Boys and a San Francisco-area toy company, the legal battle over a viral video that parodied one of the rap group's songs goes on.
In court papers filed on Tuesday, lawyers for the Beastie Boys said that a popular online video that was created by the toy company, GoldieBlox, and contained an alternate version of the band's song "Girls," constituted "copyright infringement and is not fair use," turning the band's music into "a 'jingle' to sell GoldieBlox's products."
GoldieBlox gained widespread attention last month for the video, which showed girls building a comically elaborate Rube Goldberg machine while singing about their engineering skills. The toy company says that its mission statement is to encourage girls to learn about science and technology.
In late November, GoldieBlox sued the Beastie Boys, seeking affirmation that the video was a legally permissible work of criticism, pointing out in its suit that the video "has been recognized by the press and the public as a parody and criticism of the original song."
The Beastie Boys responded in an open letter that, though they were "very impressed by the creativity and the message" of the GoldieBlox video, the band considered it "an advertisement that is designed to sell a product," and said that it does not allow its songs to be used in commercials.
A few days later, GoldieBlox posted its own open letter, saying it wanted to respect the band's wishes, and that the toy company had taken down the video.
In their counterclaim, filed in Federal District Court in California, the Beastie Boys' lawyers said the band members "have suffered injury to their business, good will and property," and were "entitled to recover from GoldieBlox the gains, profits and advantages" it had obtained.
Daralyn Durie, a lawyer for GoldieBlox, said in a statement on Wednesday that her firm was reviewing the band's latest filing. She added, "Although the ad has been taken down and we would prefer an amicable resolution, we strongly believe that the parody constitutes fair use."
Toy Company Pulls Beastie Boys Song From Viral VideoBy Dave Itzkoff
A San Francisco-area toy company offered an olive branch to the Beastie Boys on Wednesday, saying that it had no intentions of fighting the rap group over a popular online video that used a parody of the band's song "Girls." The company has removed the parody song from the video.
"We don't want to fight with you," the toy company, GoldieBlox, said in an open letter to the Beastie Boys. "We love you and we are actually huge fans."
GoldieBlox, which makes toys and games designed to encourage young women's interests in engineering, had gained widespread attention for the video, set to an alternate version of "Girls," in which girls sang about all the feats of science they can accomplish. (In the original song, the Beastie Boys rapped about women's prowess "to do the dishes" and "to clean up my room.") Read more…
Beastie Boys Fight Online Video Parody of 'Girls'By Dave Itzkoff
Over a music career of more than 25 years, the Beastie Boys evolved from a goofy rap trio to a conscientious band with more nuanced positions on politics and art.
But now that group, which says on principle that it does not allow its music to be used in advertisements, has come into conflict with a company that feels just as strongly about its own socially aware messaging, and that has gained wide attention with an online video that parodies the Beastie Boys song "Girls."
On Monday, the band released an open letter to the company, GoldieBlox, a San Francisco-area start-up that makes toys and games designed to encourage girls to learn about science and technology.
GoldieBlox had filed a lawsuit on Thursday that asserted its right to use the music in the video, which has gone viral with more than eight million views. It said in the suit that it "created its parody video specifically to comment on the Beastie Boys song, and to further the company's goal to break down gender stereotypes."
But the Beastie Boys, in the letter to GoldieBlox, said the video was essentially part of a commercial enterprise and "an advertisement that is designed to sell a product," for which the band says it does not allow its music to be used. Read more…

New International Trailer for Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2
A new international trailer has been released for Sony's CG animated sequel to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (aptly titled Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2), which follows the first film's intrepid inventor Flint Lockwood as he returns to Swallow Falls, in order to make amends and clean up the mess that his invention left behind in the first movie.
The new trailer isn't heavy on the food puns, unlike the previous ones, but it's enjoyable nonetheless, especially since it features the scene-stealing monkey Steve, who is voiced by none other than Neil Patrick Harris. You can check out the trailer below:
Directed by Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is scheduled to open in the US on September 27, 2013, with a UK release to follow on October 25, 2013.

French house at its finest. | Reviewer: DrMalpractice | 3/5/13
Awesome track on an awesome album by an awesome duo.
P.S. - blackman2101, I think you're looking too deeply into an electronic song. I mean, yeah, it has lyrics, but you only need to look at modern hip-hop to know that lyrics can be very, very (oh so very) meaningless.
human after all | Reviewer: white | 5/1/09
i bit repetitive (could have added just one more melody and it wtoulda been perfect) but still a great song. I think it has more to do with they are not* robots but are human, and like all humans, are not perfect.
a legend in techno | Reviewer: blackman2101 | 11/22/07
i love this song so much, its part of a story about robots trying to become humans in a robot community, but horribly fail after they are expelled due to the fact that the others are scared by such change, there is a moral in there somewhere

School is back in session at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and that means that we are about to dive head first right into another year of Tar Heel athletics. A few of the fall sports have already kicked off for UNC and football is set to open up its season this coming weekend meaning that the balance of life is slowly beginning to restore itself. It's a funny thing, watching the students interact with the big athletes on campus.
I remember being in college and always telling my friends which players from the football team were in my class or which players from the basketball team were in my study group. It almost turned into a contest of sorts because you wanted to be friends with all of these people that would go represent your school on the field of battle night in and night out. We almost forget that they're all regular people that are there to do the same thing every regular student is and that is go to school. The fact that they play big time college sports and get seen on ESPN once or twice a week tends to make us forget sometimes. Hey, that's why we love it!
I mentioned football being in action this weekend earlier, but both men's and women's soccer, volleyball, field hockey, and cross country all have big games coming up this weekend as well. This is such an exciting time for UNC fans in general because there are very few universities that can make national headlines and can compete nationally in virtually every sport. Here in Chapel Hill, we get spoiled with so many great teams every year.
How many schools can say that they have won at least one national championship in at least 6 different sports? The answer is not many. How many schools besides UNC get to say they are home to a 21 time national champion team? The answer is zero. Here's a stat that may blow your mind, since 1981 North Carolina has won at least one national championship every year with the exception of three. That means that 28 out of the past 31 years, UNC has brought home the ultimate prize at least once. 1998, 2002, and 2010 are the only three years not to represented in that span.
Women's soccer clearly carries the bulk of the streak on their shoulders having won the NCAA title 21 times in 31 years. The program has won more national championships than the rest of the university's sports teams have combined (19). An impressive feat none the less, but UNC has found success in other areas most notably in men's basketball. Women's basketball, field hockey, men's lacrosse and men's soccer, who currently is defending a title, have also brought back glory to Chapel Hill.
With so many talented programs and athletes in one school, it's easy to understand how much pride and love we have and share for UNC athletics. Now it's time to welcome in another year of tradition and excellence. I challenge all Tar Heel fans to show your love to every team that wears Carolina blue and help cheer on our men and women on their quest to bring back the university's 41st national championship.

Solutions for Sustainable Software Development
No more Architectural Debt
Our tools are designed to detect and address different forms of technical debt with a focus on architectural and structural issues. Those issues are the most toxic form of technical debt because it is very hard to fix them once they have propagated through your code base. Currently we support Java, C#, C/C++ and ABAP/ABAPObject with support for more languages in the horizon. More »
Immediate Developer Feedback
Sonargraph can be easily integrated into your development process. Once this is done your developers will be notified about rule violations either directly in their IDE or via your continuous integration process. This allows them to fix violations while they are still easy to fix and avoids the accumulation of technical and structural debt. You will notice that your projects will run a lot smoother while the quality of the result will be significantly better than before. More »
Improve Sustainability and Agility
Addressing the issue of technical debt in your software development will dramatically reduce the cost of making changes to your system, simply because it is a lot easier to modify a well structured piece of software. Keeping your code clean at all stages of development will allow you to skip the hefty interest payments that become due when you do not monitor your technical debt properly. This will improve agility, mitigate risks, and result in better software with a significant reduction in cost. More »

A stomp pad for those hit a little harder by the growth hormones in their milk.
Share your thoughts
What do you think of the
DAKINE Modular Mat Stomp Pad
? Share a...
Physical incarnation of perfection
Philip Anderson
I got the black so it would match my board(capita scaremaster) and i find myself having problems finding it on my board it blends in so perfect. Plus the spikes are perfect. Zero slip even on crappy icy days.
Great Pad
The three separate pieces allow you total flexibility with placement. I purchased the clear and it doesn't take away from the graphics on my board. Great product.
Through three days of riding, this pad is the awesome!
Matt Auten
I've used the pad three days so far, on on a dangerously icy day and had zero problems. Its a great pad, grips very well and gives you way more control than any other pad I've had.
Right the f on!
I bought the clear one to put on my kids evo. Very aggressive pad(as in it WILL bite you). Tip for any pad I install: Clean area with warm soapy water. Dry. Wipe with rubbing alcohol. Heat area with hair dryer and heat the pad(you want them both almost too hot to touch but don't melt anything). Lightly lay it where you think you want it. Step back, look, adjust if necessary. Once you are happy, stand on it to really seat it. Then stack some books or one book and a paint can or something to keep heavy pressure until it cools. Personally, I leave it on over night. Never had one lift.
on all my boards
Great pad. Stays on. Grippy
The clear stomp pad looked superb on my GNU. I loved the style and how you could customize the top and bottom for a big/small foot. Great grip, the adhesive stays on all year long for ever season. awesome pad.
Trevor Lightner
It works well!
Great stomp pad!
Finally a stomp pad that works! The traction on it is great!
Good Stomp
Will Oren
Had another Dakine pad fall off on subzero riding day and picked this one up. I love it!
Sharp and Spiky
I've got this stomp pad in the clear colour - and it's REVOLUTIONIZED flat-spots on the slopes. The spikes are sharp and keep my boot in place NO PROBLEM.
Also - the clear pad doesn't obscure any of the images on my board, and since I'm a girl and I care about how things look, I'm into that.
Also - 8 bucks? You can't beat that
I work as an instructor so i do a lot of one footed riding, and this stomp pad is niiiiice. works well, and you can arrange the pieces in whatever pattern you want!
the best stomp pad
ben shaw
i tried this stomp pad on my firends banana and what a difference ther was. the boot actually stayed on the pad. so i had to go and buy one. great traction. the 3 peices produce maximum tracion buy placing them where theres sapose to be traction: the toe, middle and heel instead of just the middle. Just dont forget its there when you grab you board there without a glove, it hurt.
This picture doesnt even give it justice
Jack K
The picture doesn't show the sharp spikes on this stomp pad. The thing is truly deadly. I love it my foot sticks like glue on them.

an energy shot says "Hitman" on it,
you'll know why

If someone is anorexic, they grow fuzz all over their body. Due to the lack of fat, they need extra hair to hold heat to their body. Or so I'm told. I could be incorrect.
I was planning on cutting it, but now I'm not so sure.
This week has been chaos and wonderfulness. I no longer attend high school and have received my diploma. I went to prom; and it was okay- but absolutely not the magical night it is supposed to be. Or the crazy night its supposed to be. I wish there were things I could change about that night- but I can't. So thats it and we must move forward.
Harbor Cruise was my favorite event. It was the beginning of all the fun, and we knew it wasn't over yet. But now it is all over. Done. Forever. Finished. Completed. Cut off all ties. End all.
Where do I go from here? I suppose I'll just party every single night and hopefully get my act together for UMass. Fuck. When did I become so average? I wanted to be slightly more successful than the majority. But I came to find you must have a calling to do that. You must have a distinct goal you want to reach- a career you know you want, way ahead of time. With an undecided future, you cannot be more successful than the average person. Because you are the average person.
I just want to talk about Meghan. But I don't have the words. I feel like there are no words as wonderful and beautiful and inspiring as Meghan is. The way she lived. Knowing each day was closer to her last. ALWAYS SMILING. I can't even conceive it. She deserved life more than most people. She deserved prom. She deserved a graduation in front of hundreds. She deserved Harbor Cruise and All Night Long Party. She deserved the best parking spot in the senior lot. She deserved the most expensive raffle prize at All Night Long. She deserved a fun filled beach BBQ with all her closest friends. She deserved a full scholarship to the college of her choice. She deserved a golden sash and she deserved the right to hold all the awards she won this week, in her hands. And admire them, with her eyes. But maybe heaven is greater than all those things. Maybe heaven is greater than the best of anything of earth. I'll visit her soon. Maybe tomorrow I'll go for a walk…

Rainy Days And Mondays
I stand guilty! I've neglected this blog for quite sometime now and to make up for it, I just re-blog some of my posts from my main blog from time to time. Gosh, it is hard to maintain four blogs at the same time. You always seem to favor that particular blog where you get visitors and comments. I am not complaining though because I am trying to lessen posting pictures at Dreams and Escapes, I only have 35% more on the allowed limits while this one needs a little lift and update.
Just visited my garden blooms after the rain. It was quite a surprise to see new blooms. I could resist taking a few shots. It's been a while since I posted garden pics.
When Rain Lilies Are In Bloom
Originally posted on DREAMS AND ESCAPES:
You always get that nice smile on your face once you see a lovely surprise in your garden. I love flowers, they have that allure and beauty that are pure delight to the senses. There was a time when I used to document every lovely bloom in my garden and ambitiously thought of researching their growth patterns, what time of the year they usually show their faces but then being busy with everyday life sometimes keep one from doing just what you want to do. It is more of doing what you need to do.
This morning, I was watering the plants when I saw these lovely blooms growing side by side with my cacti plants. It hasn't rained in our neck of the woods for quite sometime now although every afternoon, you'll hear thunder when the sky gets dark. Rain lilies usually grow during the summer months when there…

It's nice to be back and share my garden finds. I guess it's time to take hold of my camera again and take a few shots. Look what I've found.
I didn't plant this tomato shrub but just saw it growing side by side with our peanut grass at the front garden. It was a delight to see these green tomatoes waiting to ripen. Something comes to mind, botanically speaking, tomatoes are fruits but we consider them vegetables. How's that again? I am getting confused.
Our two jackfruit trees are laden with fruits growing in almost every tip of each branch. The sad thing though, not all of them will grow big at all. Mom says the fruits with smooth skin are the ones that would ripen and grow big, the rest will just dry up and fall. Every morning, I would count the fruits, can't wait to harvest some in a month or two.
One thing I love about our calamansi trees (we have two) are the scents of the flowers. Calamansi or Philippine lime bear fruits all year round and they are perfect in almost any dish that need a little spicing up. They could be used to marinate meat or as sauces for grilled or fried food. Ripe fruits are excellent as juices too.
Not to be left behind are my pink Bougainvillea. I just love the pink blooms.
So Why Are They Called Bleeding Hearts?
I haven't seen these flowers for a number of years but when we removed the invasive African rose in our garden a few months ago, I noticed this vine growing from a pot in a corner. I love these tiny blooms, they make the garden colorful. Lamprocapnos spectabilis, that's what they are called but don't you think the common name Bleeding Heart is more lovely?
Garden Finds
It rains every day now and the grass grows faster and longer. Such a shame because I could not garden when the grass is wet with rain. I am afraid of mosquitoes and some insects sharing a home with my ornamental plants and vegetables. Mom planted taro shoots a week ago and they are nicely growing outside. Every year, the back of the house is always full of ampalaya ( bitter gourd) occupying our garden trellis permanently fixed with tie wires. Ampalaya is so easy to grow, it just need enough space to crawl through. In a month or two, you would be harvesting some for the kitchen. This morning, I harvested more than a kilo of the bonito variety and every three or four days, it would give you enough to last for a week's supply. Most of the time though, I share my harvest with our neighbors.
One thing about organic gardening is that you are assured that the veggies you eat are pesticide-free and you can always have them freshly picked. Aside from using this for our famous Pangasinan pinakbet, one could also mix it with scrambled eggs or as fresh salad.
Tomorrow, it's time to pick calamansi and make it into a refreshing juice. The rewards of gardening!
Rain, Rain Go Away

It's been raining since Monday prompting most schools and universities to declare "no classes" in most areas here in Metro Manila. The start of the week was marred by horrendous traffic, leaving so many flood prone areas in waist deep water. This is a perennial problem in our country every time the rainy season sets in.
This morning though, the sun bravely showed its face and look what I saw in the garden while emptying our small pond with rain water. I can't resist taking a few shots (as always).
These are called rain lilies and they produce these tiny flowers during the rainy season. I planted some in a corner of our garden, the rest I put in a vase. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw these tiny blooms. They somehow erased the gloomy atmosphere of the morning.
A Zinnia bud about to bloom. I love the surprise…

The AP is reporting
that one of its reporters was told by "a senior manager at the
Cap-Haitien airport" in Haiti that the L-410 that crashed just
after takeoff Monday was too heavy. All 21 aboard, including the
two crew, were killed. The AP says that the 'liner shouldn't have
had all the seats filled. [Without knowing the weight of the rest
of the cargo, and the fuel load, it's hard to say --ed.]
The short hop, planned from Cap-Haitien to Port-de-Paix, a
15-minute trip, did have every seat filled. The quantity of fuel
aboard was not immediately known; but the AP said this trip's PAX
were likely, "loaded with gifts for family."
Witnesses say that,
shortly after takeoff, a rear door was seen open, and smoke (and
some baggage) was pouring out. The crash begat a fire that consumed
most of the wreck.
Tropical Airways, which owns the plane, said that both Walter
601 engines had been replaced three weeks ago; whether the engines
were replaced with used, rebuilt, or new units was not explained.
Whether the engines were any factor in the crash has not been
determined, either. The airline's PR firm also said there was no
data recorder aboard...

What someone with Parkinson's disease thinks of new Michael J. Fox show
BY JIM O'MALLEY For Sun-Times Media October 9, 2013 5:00PM
The Michael J. Fox Show - Season 1
Updated: April 14, 2014 4:49PM
Last week I was sitting in a restaurant with my daughter. My left hand was shaking, but I hadn't knocked anything off the table yet, so I didn't think it was obvious. Still, two women came over and asked, "Did you see the new Michael J. Fox show? What did you think?"
"Wow," I thought. "People know what Parkinson's disease looks like now. They don't think I'm on meth."
I'd never been a fan of Fox — I disliked "Family Ties." But I've thought about him more sympathetically in the last few years, because like him, I got Parkinson's young. Only 10 to 20 percent of the 1.5 million Americans with Parkinson's are under 50, and it's not a club you want to join. I had to leave my job as a teacher, because there are so many things I can't do. Like get up on time — because I can't always sleep at night. Or walk reliably. Or deal well with crowds. It's frustrating, because your mind's the same, but your body's doing the hokey pokey. It feels like a betrayal.
On the show, which airs its fourth episode on NBC tonight, Fox plays a TV newsman who left his job because of PD — his tremors made his chair slide off-camera. But he decides to come back — with wheel locks on the chair — like Fox came back to television. I admire what he's doing — saying nuts to his illness and doing what he loves. Not everyone can. Linda Ronstadt would sing again if she could.
I'm not sure yet what I think of the show — in many ways it seems like a regular sitcom — wacky friends, mischievous kid, cute wife, etc. Parkinson's doesn't play much of a role — it's just there. Sometimes I wish it would talk more about the experience of Parkinson's for a regular person. Fox's character gets asked for autographs. I'd like to see him at a grocery store, getting picked on because he's shaking. But I have hopes for the show. Maybe Parkinson's awareness will get trendy — like Cuban music a few years ago — and people will be more understanding about it. And maybe the increased understanding will build more momentum for a cure.
Jim O'Malley, an Avondale resident, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2011 .

Danish filmmaker and journalist Mads Brügger boasts a first name that seems worthy of his work, which he has dubbed "performative journalism." He went undercover as a European Ambassador in the war-torn Central African Republic (CAR), armed with hidden cameras and credentials obtained on the black market. There, he brokered deals with corrupt blood diamond kingpins, leisurely traded diplomatic titles, and exposed a litany of murder, bribery, and bureaucrats from hell. The Ambassador balances a dark absurdity with terrifying revelations of exploitation, shocking fraudulence, and greed. The film opens in New York today, and we thought this would be a good time to explore some of cinema's most controversial figures (mainly directors) — several of which Brügger has been compared to. The Huffington Post called him the "most provocative filmmaker in the world." See if you agree after viewing our gallery after the jump. … Read More

Preview James Franco's 'Rebel' Art Exhibit in Los Angeles
Checking in on James Franco's artistic efforts, the actor/artist/curator/writer/human-meta has just premiered his exhibit Rebel at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, featuring the work of Ed Ruscha, Terry Richardson, Paul McCarthy, Damon McCarthy, Harmony Korine, Aaron Young, Douglas Gordan, Galen Pehrson, Ed Ruscha and, of course, James Franco. The show interprets Nicolas Ray's 1955 classic Rebel Without a Cause — one of Franco's very well known obsessions — through sculpture, short film, and mixed media. Hosted at a pop-up annex location inside a 20,000 furniture exhibition space on Highland Avenue, it clusters in and around Paul McCarthy and his son Damon McCarthy's recreation of Bungalow 2 at the Chateau Marmont, where Ray wrote and rehearsed Rebel Without a Cause with James Dean and Natalie Wood. One disturbed visitor described the experience as being "stranded in the psychotic maze of a serial murderer's madhouse — as the environment incorporated circus tent colors, street graffiti, and disturbing raw sexual and murderous noises." Here are a few press images of Bungalow 2's contents. You'll have to imagine the "noises." … Read More

Of course, this also means you're faced with the conundrum of finding something cool without spending too much.

Is James Franco's Venice Biennale Debut Still Happening?
Of all the different genres that James Franco has tackled, we've always found his art career the hardest to swallow — and considering his love of similes, that's really saying something. Maybe we were wise to be skeptical; according to a report in The Independent, the actor's highly-anticipated debut at this year's Venice Biennale has been "indefinitely delayed" so that he may "realize his vision" for Rebel, a site-specific installation of videos paying homage to James Dean. Franco is said to have collaborated with a number of well-known artists including Ed Ruscha, Paul McCarthy, and Aaron Young, on the project, and just last month he released an interesting short film that he shot with Harmony Korine featuring a mob of bike riding women with machetes. Considering that the Biennale runs until the end of November, he still has plenty of time to schedule a new launch date — unless there's something else going on here. Click through to check out the preview clip, and let us know in the comments what you think of the work. … Read More

Davies has scored four goals in 16 appearances for Wycombe since becoming manager Gary Waddock's first signing for the club in October.
The 21-year-old played under Waddock during previous loan spells at Aldershot Town and has been a key figure for the League One strugglers.
He will now stay at Adams Park until the middle of the month when Waddock will have to decide on seeking a longer-term deal for Davies.
The immediate extension of the deal means that Davies will be available for Wycombe's next two games against leaders Leeds United and fellow promotion chasers Charlton Athletic.
