According to the WASDE report released on Sept. 12, 2012, USDA has lowered U.S. corn and soybean production by more than 50 million bushels for each commodity. Corn prices dropped 30¢/bu. on each end of the spectrum; soybean prices remain unchanged at $15-17/bu.
U.S. feed grain supplies for 2012-2013 are projected higher this month with a reduction in forecast corn production more than offset by higher projected corn carry-in. U.S. corn production is lowered 52 million bushels with the national average yield forecast 0.6 bu./acre lower at 122.8 bu.. Lower yields and production in the Corn Belt and Central Plains are partly offset by increases elsewhere, particularly across the South where an early harvest is boosting available supplies.
U.S. corn supplies for 2012-2013 are projected 108 million bushels higher as an increase in expected beginning stocks more than offsets lower production this month. Exports for 2011-2012 are lowered 10 million bushels reflecting the slowing pace of shipments during August. Feed and residual use for 2011-2012 is lowered 150 million bushels based on the record level of crop maturity and harvest progress as of Sept. 1. State-level crop progress reports indicate that nearly 11% of the 2012 corn crop was harvested before the Sept. 1 start of the 2012-2013 marketing year. Based on state-by-state production forecasts from the Sept. 12 Crop Productionreport, nearly 1.2 billion bushels of new-crop corn are estimated to have been available for use before the end of the old-crop 2011-2012 marketing year. This is up more than 700 million bushels from a year ago. Early new-crop corn use is expected to displace use of 2011 old-crop corn and boost old-crop inventories on Sept. 1. As a result, early new-crop usage reduces the feed and residual calculation in the balance sheet. (For a more complete discussion see Westcott and Norton, Implications of an Early Corn Crop Harvest for Feed and Residual Use Estimates (pdf), FDS-12F-01, Economic Research Service, USDA, July 2012.)
Total U.S. corn use for 2012-2013 is raised this month with higher expected feed and residual disappearance more than offsetting lower projected exports. Feed and residual disappearance is projected 75 million bushels higher, in part reflecting higher expected September-December disappearance with the expected rise in early new-crop usage during the 2011-2012 marketing year. Exports for 2012-2013 are projected 50 million bushels lower with increased competition from lower-priced South American supplies. Ending stocks for 2012-2013 are projected 83 million bushels higher at 733 million. The projected range for the corn season-average farm price is lowered 30¢ on both ends of the range to $7.20-8.60/bu.
Global coarse grain supplies for 2012-2013 are projected 4.0 million tons lower despite higher beginning stocks of corn in the United States and barley in Canada. Reduced corn production prospects for EU-27, Serbia and Canada add to the decline in the United States to reduce world corn output 8.0 million tons. Corn production is lowered 4.4 million tons for EU-27 with yield reductions for France, Italy, Romania and Hungary as extended drought and heat in August further reduced production prospects across southern Europe. Serbia production is also lowered 1.2 million tons reflecting the same adverse weather conditions. Canada corn production is lowered 1.1 million tons based on the latest survey results from Statistics Canada.
Global 2012-2013 corn exports are lowered 1.8 million tons this month with the largest reduction for the United States. Corn exports are also lowered for Serbia and EU-27. Partly offsetting these reductions is a 1.0-million-ton increase for Brazil exports. Foreign coarse grain consumption is lowered mostly on lower corn usage. Corn feeding is lowered 4.0 million tons for the EU-27, 1.0 million tons for Canada and 0.4 million tons for Serbia. Corn feeding is raised 0.8 million tons for Egypt. Global corn ending stocks are projected 0.6 million tons higher with the increase for the United States partly offset by a reduction for Brazil.
U.S. oilseed production for 2012-2013 is projected at 82 million tons, down 1.4 million from last month. Lower soybean and cottonseed production is only partly offset by an increase for peanuts. Soybean supplies for 2012-2013 are reduced due to lower forecast production and beginning stocks. Soybean production is projected at 2.634 billion bushels, down 58 million due to lower yields in the Midwest. Soybean exports are reduced 55 million bushels to 1.055 billion mainly due to reduced supplies. Soybean crush is reduced 15 million bushels to 1.5 billion, the lowest since 1996-1997. The reduction reflects lower projected soybean meal exports and domestic soybean meal consumption. Although soybean ending stocks are projected unchanged at 115 million bushels, they would fall to a nine-year low. Other changes for 2012-2013 include reduced soybean oil production and ending stocks.
Soybean crush for 2011-2012 is increased 15 million bushels to 1.705 billion reflecting higher-than-expected crush reported for July. Soybean exports are increased 10 million to 1.36 billion. Residual use is lowered 10 million bushels reflecting the impact of early harvest of the 2012-2013 crop in the South. Ending stocks are projected at 130 million bushels, down 15 million from last month. Other changes for 2011-2012 include increased soybean oil production, exports, and ending stocks and increased domestic disappearance of soybean meal.
The U.S. season-average soybean price for 2012-2013 is projected unchanged at $15-17/bu. Soybean meal prices are projected at $485-515/short ton, up $25 on both ends of the range. Soybean oil prices are projected at 54-58¢/lb., up 1¢ on both ends of the range.
Global oilseed production for 2012-2013 is projected at 453.1 million tons, down 4.2 million from last month. Reductions for soybeans, sunflowerseed and rapeseed are only partly offset by increased peanut and cottonseed production. In addition to the United States, projected soybean production is reduced for Ukraine and Canada. Early harvest results for Ukraine indicate a lower yield in part reflecting unusually hot temperatures during the growing season. Lower soybean production for Canada is based on the most recent crop survey results reported by Statistics Canada.

1976 Château Climens
At 40 years of age this gorgeous, hugely perfumed Barsac, from arguably the appellation's greatest estate, is fully mature but cruising along effortlessly, with the potential to reward at least another decade of cellaring, perhaps even more, given that a great Climens from a renowned vintage can deliver the goods for well over a half-century and often much longer.
Château Climens dates back to at least 1547, the year its name first appeared on a real estate deed, and was first planted to vines at some point in the 1600s by the Roborel family. In 1855 the estate was purchased by the Gounouilhou family, who held onto the domaine, often producing some legendary wines, before Lucien Lurton acquired it in 1971 to bolster his growing Bordeaux empire. Lurton's daughter, Bérénice, took over administration of the château in 1992 and since then, the already lofty reputation of Climens has climbed even higher.
The Climens style favors balance and elegance over brute force but the wines in no way lack concentration or power, not to mention the capacity to age. From one of the great vintages of recent decades, the 1976 (a hot year where the botrytis had a field day, or season) shows a color that suggests a far younger wine, with none of the incipient tawny or even brown hues that one would reasonably expect from a Barsac or Sauternes of such age. It displays a compelling bouquet of candied orange, apricot, mango, honey, brown butter and exotic flowers, with just a hint of caramel that is indicative of its true age. Rich and weighty but almost shockingly vibrant on the palate, the 1976 shows sappy, mineral-tinged citrus marmalade, pit fruit liqueur and buttery pastry flavors that completely coat the palate without coming off heavy or overly sweet. The finish, if one could call it that, is enlivened by a smoky mineral element that serves to impressively extend and brighten the wine's rich, deeply concentrated fruit qualities.
Straddling the fine line between indulgent and decadent, this utterly compelling Climens is fabulous on its own but it would really shine with a not-too-old, vaguely salty blue cheese of sheep origin, such as Roquefort or even a cow's milk rendition such as Bleu d'Auvergne or Fourme d'Ambert. 95/Drink: 2016-2040.

As individuals, we demand total responsibility from ourselves; as Associates, we support the responsibilities of others.
We choose to be different from those corporations where many levels of management dilute personal responsibility. All Associates are asked to take direct responsibility for results, to exercise initiative and judgment and to make decisions as required. By recruiting ethical people well suited to their jobs and trusting them, we ask Associates to be accountable for their own high standards.
A mutual benefit is a shared benefit; a shared benefit will endure.
We believe the standard by which our business relationships should be measured is the degree to which mutual benefits are created.
These benefits can take many different forms, and need not be strictly financial in nature. Likewise, while we must try to achieve the most competitive terms, the actions of Mars should never be at the expense, economic or otherwise, of others with whom we work.

We use resources to the full, waste nothing and do only what we can do best.
How is it possible to maintain our principles, offering superior value for money and sharing our success? Our strength lies in our efficiency, the ability to organize all our assets – physical, financial and human – for maximum productivity. In this way, our products and services are made and delivered with the highest quality, at the least possible cost, with the lowest consumption of resources; similarly, we seek to manage all our business operations with the most efficient processes for decision making.
We need freedom to shape our future; we need profit to remain free.
Mars is one of the world's largest family-owned corporations. This family ownership is a deliberate choice. Many companies began as Mars did, but as they grew larger and required new sources of funds, they sold stocks or incurred restrictive debt to fuel their business. To extend their growth, they exchanged a portion of their freedom. We believe growth and prosperity can be achieved another way.

Media conservator at The Museum of Modern Art, Peter Oleksik offered insight into how an institution like MoMA handles production and exhibition of complex media art. He let us know the technical ends of their work from creating backup copies, how to procure obsolete equipment, updating technology, to consideration of digital presentation.
Artist and moving image archivist Andrew Lampert has been working through the challenges that face presentation and preservation of moving image works. In this interview, Lampert gave great feedback to our Expanded Cinema research team about various aspects of presenting and preserving complex media art: digital vs. analog, performance vs. installation, iterative life of works, presentation and archival material, and the importance of documentation.
Collaborative Cataloging Japan (CCJ) is an international, 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, documenting, and disseminating the legacy of Japanese experimental moving image made in 1950s—1980s, in order to enable their appreciation by a wider audience. Without this effort, this unique sector of Japanese cultural heritage, which historically has been underrepresented and unsupported, would remain available to only a very few. Buried in artists' studios or independent archives, many works are in danger of literal disappearance as film and video mediums continue to deteriorate. The scope of moving image focus includes: fine art on film and video, documentations of performance, independently produced documentaries, experimental animation, and experimental television.

A Florida appeals court has upheld an $11 million jury verdict against Continental Tire North America Inc. The Fourth Court of Appeals affirmed the jury verdict that had been returned in favor of the Plaintiff Tracey Parker. The Plaintiff spent 107 days in the hospital following a tire blowout in May 2009 that caused her vehicle to roll over several times. The appellate court rejected Continental Tire's argument that the court deprived it of a fair trial by allowing the Plaintiff to rely on an expert Continental Tire had withdrawn and by excluding evidence that the alleged defect hadn't occurred before. The tire manufacturers also complained about animations and stills depicting the company's manufacturing process.
Ms. Parker was driving to her job in Port Saint Lucie, Fla., on Interstate 95 when the right rear tire on her 2006 Chevy Cobalt failed. She had to be airlifted to a trauma center in West Palm Beach, Fla., where she spent more than a month in a coma and had to undergo 17 surgeries. It was alleged that the tire's failure was caused by a design and manufacturing defect. According to the evidence, the tire was, at the time of the accident, well-maintained and did not have uneven tread wear or repairs, and had three years left on its warranty.
Continental Tire argued that the tire couldn't have been manufactured with wires sticking out of the rubber, as the Plaintiff had claimed. The company argued further that even though the tire had suffered earlier damage to the rim that caused it to lose air, the Plaintiff drove on the tire anyway. The jury rejected the Plaintiff's design defect theory, but found that the tire had a manufacturing defect that led to her injuries. Continental Tire was found to have been negligent in manufacturing the tire. The jury awarded $9.9 million to Ms. Parker and $1 million to her husband.
The Plaintiff pointed out in her brief that Continental Tire failed to address the negligence ruling, saying that the company "conspicuously omits" that her tire lacked an inspection stamp that each tire leaving its factory was required to have. It was argued in the Plaintiff's brief:
Appellate courts do not reverse cases where the losing defendant fails to assert prejudicial error on one of the plaintiffs' winning theories of liability; i.e., [Continental Tire] agreed that Mrs. Parker's tire had no 'inspection stamp,' which supported the jury's finding of negligence, and CTA has not challenged any issue related to that finding.
After hearing arguments, the appellate court agreed with the lower court's decision in its entirety. Ms. Parker and her husband are represented by Julie Littky-Rubin of Clark Fountain La Vista Prather Keen & Littky-Rubin LLP, a firm located in West Palm Beach, Fla. She did a very good job in this case. The appeal was heard in the District Court of Appeal for the Fourth District of Florida.

Hi Hub,
I've had a silver cap in 1.4 for a long time very happy with it. Some time ago I bought a used orange cap gun in 1.3 with the thought of dedicating it to base and my silver to clear. Used the orange cap for the first time recently and was immediately disappointed with the fan size. I benchmarked the two guns at the same pressure swapping the caps back and forth. The silver cap gave a fan size of about 10-11 inches at a distance of just over 5 inches. The orange cap gave 8-9 inches under the same conditions. regardless of which gun they were on (one is a 1.4, the other a 1.3). Fan and fluid wide open on both guns, about 20psi at the gun trigger pulled.
Checked both guns are clean, no obstructions no obvious issues with the orifices on the orange cap.
The official Iwata blurb states 11.4" for silver and 12.2 for Orange. While I am on the money for the silver cap, the orange is way smaller.
What orange cap fan size should I expect?

After you've finished cooking, [the cooling rack](http://www.amazon.com/Stainless-Steel-Cooling-Rack-Commercial/dp/B00NYBBM8G/ref=as_at?tag=foodinnogroue-20&linkCode=as2&s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1440442251&sr=1-8&keywords=wire%20rack) keeps [the crunch in a doughnut](http://www.epicurious.com/expert-advice/how-to-deep-fry-like-pro-article), the sogginess out of bread, and [the crisp in latkes](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/our-favorite-latkes-51259720). But a cooling rack can also be used to heat things up.
Make sure you have plenty of napkins—this might get messy.
It does absolutely everything.
You got your breast men and your leg men and your thigh men, but let me tell you something: I'm a wing man. What I love about wings is that you get a two-in-one treat when you eat them: Between the drumette and the flat, that's some good gnawing. Wings are great for weeknight cooking too, because they take very little time to prepare and cook. NOTE: The best way to trim chicken wings is to use kitchen shears to lop off the tips and separate the pieces.
In Texas, barbecue is about beef: specifically brisket, the cut by which any joint is judged. Brisket has become a favorite of restaurant chefs, too, hence the smoke ribbons and Hank Williams songs drifting out of restaurants as far away as Brooklyn. But can great brisket be made at home? I devoted a weekend to the task and learned that with a few key ingredients— salt, pepper, patience, and advice from Aaron Franklin, my neighbor and the pitmaster at Franklin Barbecue in Austin—swoonworthy results are doable. You just have to take the time—12 smoky hours. Brisket (from the cow's breast or lower chest) is rich in connective tissue, so it requires a low-and-slow process to relax the muscle into tender goodness—a pleasure that can't be achieved with a quicker method. Luckily, those first unforgettable bites are worth the weekend. So let's get started.
Beef brisket is one of the hardest meats to cook correctly. In Texas, this dish is a benchmark for how good a cook or restaurant is, and everyone has an opinion about how to do it right. Good food takes time, and this recipe will help you through the pitfalls of cooking a brisket. Don't ever steam your beef; it dries the meat and makes it tough. Applying a dry rub is important with large cuts of meat. Our [BBQ Beef Coffee Cure](/recipes/food/views/51171610) is a select mixture of seasonings paired with an earthy dark-roasted ground coffee that complements the brisket. The salt and sugars in the rub will cure the outer portion of the brisket, leaving a hearty flavor and the smoke, charred crust called "bark."
When Snow's BBQ in Lexington was named best barbecue in Texas by _Texas Monthly_ magazine in June 2008, Tootsie Tomanetz became an instant star in the barbecue world. It's odd that her significant skill as a pitmaster was "discovered" only after more than thirty years of tending pits. As one of thee rare female pitmasters in Texas, she says some folks insist on calling her a chef because they don't feel comfortable applying the pitmaster moniker to a woman, but Tootsie is no doubt a master of the many pit types out behind Snow's. Even several years removed from the initial stardom, she still gets asked every Saturday morning to pose for photos. Always humble, this reluctant star says she is just a "plain old country girl" who has lived her entire life in either Lexington or Giddings, just seventeen miles away, and would just as soon keep a low profile. That's going to be tough if she keeps showing up at 2 a.m. every Saturday to cook some of Texas' best pork, and she has no plans to stop, even at age seventy-seven.
We don't know where Bob Palmgren, head pitmaster and proprietor of RJ's Bob-Be-Que in Mission, Kansas, got the idea for smoked sausage in cornhusks, but we credit him for inspiring our own version. Bob features a pork sausage with chopped jalapeño peppers and other seasonings. Ours pays homage to the artist Georgia O'Keeffe, who spent much of her creative life in northern New Mexico at a place called Abiquiu, taking inspiration from the local terrain. This one features a chicken sausage with chopped fire-roasted Hatch chile peppers and other New Mexico seasonings.
The Pacific Northwest is understandably known for its outstanding salmon, but Washington State and Oregon are also among the country's leading producers of apples, cherries, and hazelnuts—hence the pairing of this nutty apple and cherry salad with hot-smoked salmon. The full-flavored acidity of apple cider vinegar highlights the sweet-tart combination of Granny Smith and Gala apples as well as the dried cherries; the vinaigrette really helps cut the richness of the salmon.
**Noah:** We're always looking for alternatives to pork at Mile End, and this dry-cured lamb breast was an amazing meat discovery for me. You can use lamb bacon in pretty much any dish you'd use standard bacon or pancetta for: Italian peasant soups, potato salads, meat braises, pasta dishes, whatever. We finish our lamb bacon in a smoker, though at home I've cooked it in the oven and gotten great results; it just has a milder flavor. You can store the bacon in the fridge for many weeks.
When Pete and I tried this in London, we were amazed. It's probably what made us decide to do a whole chapter in clinching. Lamb that doesn't flare up, leaving a slick black residue, is the Holy Grail of every lamb griller. You can cook these chops quickly, with no flame, to produce a beautiful crust and, on the inside, _á point_ (perfect) lamb. For the most part I avoid clinching with bone-in pieces, but here the bone doesn't affect the cooking at all—it's essentially just a way of holding the two loin sections together, which makes for a different presentation from a typical lamb chop. You'll need to get these chops from a specialty butcher. This cut—two sections of loin joined by a bone—is called a Barnsley chop in England and an English chop among old-time American butchers.
A ham may be fully cooked and usually smoked as well, but another round in the smoker and a tasty glaze really take it to the next level. The apricot-soy combo here adds a sweet/salty taste to the outside of the ham. This recipe calls for a bone-in ham, but you can easily adapt it to any cooked ham. This is a great way to impress the family for the holidays and leave the oven available for other dishes.

STATE — The Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, the only certified burn center in New Jersey, has seen an increase in census as a result of Hurricane Sandy. On an average day, it admits one or two patients into the Burn Intensive Care Unit. That has increased to three or four per day after the storm as a result of generator misuse, carelessness around gasoline canisters and using grills indoors.
In hopes of preventing injuries, the Burn Center At Saint Barnabas offers these tips:
- Always read manufactures instructions on any generator and follow them completely. They explain how to run the equipment safely including
- Safety precaution
- How to run unit appropriately
- How to cool the unit off
- How to fuel safely
- What extension cords to be used safely
- Gasoline generators produce carbon monoxide. They must be used outside, never inside, including in the garage, even with doors and windows open. The build up of carbon monoxide gas is odorless, tasteless with no fumes to alert us. The build up of CO in a garage requires a fire department fan and equipment to remove. Open windows and doors will not be effective.
- Always use generators outside, away from doors and windows
- Do not leave gasoline can next to generator
- Monitor generator frequently
- Always have a battery operated CO detector when using a generator, even if the generator is outside. Any change in wind could potentially send fumes back into your house via any open window/door.
- When filling a generator, make sure to allow the unit cooling time before restarting. Gasoline is extremely flammable. Check your manufacturer's recommendations regarding cooling time.
- Never place generator near combustibles, i.e. wood, housing, furniture, clothing, or gasoline can
- Never plug a generator directly into home outlets. Only use manufacturer's recommended heavy duty extensions cords.
- Generators should be treated as you would any electrical appliance, in terms of water. Make sure you are not standing in water when using.
Use of gasoline
- Make sure it is stored in a UL approved container
- Transport gasoline secured in vehicle to avoid spillage.
- NO SMOKING near any gasoline or gas cans. Fumes are flammable.
- When pouring gasoline make certain that there is no spillage on side of container or around your work area.
Never heat your home with a gas oven. Heating is not approved by manufactures as gas produces carbon monoxide. Also, many times the oven door is left open an inch or so to allow the heat to permeate the room. This leaves the potential for fires because of combustible materials in a kitchen.
Use caution when using boiling water for bathing especially with and around small children. Always check the bathtub temperature with your elbow/hand to ensure water is of safe temperature.
- More than half of all candle fires start when something that could burn, such as furniture, mattresses or bedding, curtains, or decorations is too close to the candle
- The risk of fatal candle fires appears higher when candles are used for light
- Consider using battery-operated flameless candles, which can look, smell and fell like real candles
- If you do use candles, ensure they are in sturdy metal, glass or ceramic holders and placed where they cannot be easily knocked down.
- Keep candles at least 12 inches from anything that can burn.
- Never use a candle where medical oxygen is being used. The two can combine to create a large, unexpected fire.
- Always use a flashlight – not a candle – for emergency lighting.
- Extinguish candles after use and before going to bed.
- And never leave burning candles unattended!

In this short tutorial I will show you how to sculpt a sphere and turn it into something interesting.
First let start a new Blender project then delete the default cube and add in a sphere, Mesh->UV Sphere.
Next add in a Multiresolution Modifier
Next click once on the Subdivide button under the Multiresolution Modifier to increase the Preview, Sculpt and Render value to 1.
Then switch from the Object Mode to Sculpt Mode and make sure that Mirror x has been selected. This is just like using the Mirror Modifier on our object.
Select subtract so we can dig a hole on the object, before that make sure you switch to Front Ortho View first. Now start to sculpt a hole on the right part of the sphere.
Now you should understand why we need to set the X Mirror at the beginning of the tutorial.
Next click on the Subdivide button once, not too many time, just once to smooth the object a little bit.
Next switch from subtract to add.
Create below figure.
Click on Subdivide again to smooth the object.
You can also press the F key then move your mouse to increase or decrease the area of the brush as well as press the Shift+F key to increase or decrease the strength of the brush.
That is it! Hope you like this short sculpt tutorial, sculpt is not easy to master, you need to keep on practicing in order to perfect your skill.

Hugely exciting news. Dum dum duuum, "We'ze Be Ballin" our girls basketball team finally won our first match on Tuesday!!! Hells yes…we played like hyperactive rockstars and there were plenty of crashing body slams and fighting off girls to get the ball, it's just no fun without a bit of competitive violence on the court!
We have two weeks off for school holidays and then we have to play every team again, and hopefully now we have learned how to actually play we might not lose 20-60 to the other teams. I will be doing sneaky practising on the weekends and it's a good excuse to watch shitty American B-Ball movies.
Anyhooo, here's a really yummy wintery warm salad that we have been making stupid amounts in our house. Making crunchy chickpeas is new to me and my gosh they are yummy, you can eat them just as a salty snack too.
Firstly mix the oil in a jar with all the ingredients apart from the feta. Cube the feta up and then put it in the jar with the oil and very gently shake about so the marinade coats all the feta. You can now leave it out until needed or for best results keep it in the fridge for 2 days – a week. You will only need about half the feta, so you can keep the rest in the fridge for another salad day!
Preheat your oven to 180˚C. Rinse the chickpeas and dry them with some kitchen towel. On a baking tray mix the chickpeas with the ground coriander salt, and oil and bake in the oven for about 30-40 mis until they are crunchy.
Cut your pumpkin into small cubes and roast in the oven with some of the oil and all the coriander seeds. It will take roughy 45 mins depending on the size and oven temp but you just want it nice and golden.
Roast the kale and broccoli on a separate tray with the rest of the oil and some salt. It should take about 10-15 mins to get nice crispy.
When everything is cooked, combine in a big bowl, toss with half the feta, fresh coriander and drizzle the lemon dressing over the top.
Et Voila a super warm roasted salad!

Saracens too strong for Scarlets
Mako Vunipola got the champions on track before Nick Tompkins, an 11th hour replacement for Brad Barritt, Marcelo Bosch, Chris Wyles secured the bonus point.
Rhys Patchell kicked 16 points for Scarlets who briefly hinted at a comeback after Ben Spencer's yellow card with second half tries by Aaron Shingler and Jonathan Davies.
But Michael Rhodes completed a dominant display from the Saracens pack to take charge of Pool 3.
Patchell drew first blood at Allianz Park with an early penalty but Mako Vunipola rumbled over for the opening try in the tenth minute.
Schalk Burger was involved several times as Saracens' forwards drove forward, Alex Goode and Michael Rhodes put width on the attack where Vunipola charged a way through.
Scarlets, who lost Wales centre Scott Williams in the morning of the game with an ankle problem, then saw full-back Liam Williams limp off after just 14 minutes.
Saracens had also lost a centre before kick-off when Brad Barritt pulled out after the warm-up so Nick Tompkins stepped up and scorched over for a try just 26 minutes into his European debut. The centre beat four defenders as he weaved his way between the posts.
Farrell converted and added a drop goal but penalties allowed Patchell to limit the damage to 20-12 at half-time.
Both Vunipola brothers punched holes in the Welsh team's defence, before England fly-half Owen Farrell flung a loopy pass for Bosch to finish on the left wing.
Wyles put the bonus point within touching distance, finishing from 30 metres with aplomb after a Scarlets' handling error.
Shingler scored the visitors' first try of the night just past the hour mark as both sides pursued the extra points.
Replacement eight Josh Macleod thundered off the base of the scrum to set up a second try for Scarlets, with Wales centre Davies powering over from close range.
But South African flanker Michael Rhodes swiftly struck back to secure the bonus point and extinguish any hopes the two tries had fanned of a Scarlets come back.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: M Vunipola, Tompkins, Bosch, Wyles, Rhodes
Cons: Farrell 5
Pens: Farrell 3
For Scarlets:
Tries: Shingler, J Davies

It's a basic trade-off between performance and flexibility. Many/most audio processing implementations use a block-based approach to processing, instead of a per-sample approach because of the huge performance win. A block-based approach to implementation creates some modest limitations concerning how small the delays can get. Nevertheless, a large number of real-world common feedback-delay effects are practical using it. It's the implementation approach many modular systems use. As it stands right now, the Web Audio API makes no claims about whether the underlying implementation uses a block-based or per-sample approach. From a purist API perspective it really doesn't have to, because in the future such performance limitations may become moot. But until that time is reached, practically speaking we may have to spell out some limitations (minimum delay time with feedback...). This is what I would suggest. There are systems (such as Pure Data) which explicitly expose block-size and allow sub-graphs to run at smaller block sizes (down to one sample). If we wanted to get this fancy, then we certainly could. But because this is a very much more specialized use case, I don't consider it essential to get that fancy, at least not right now.

Back in my day, we had to wait until Saturday to watch cartoons. And we'd get detention for passing notes because texting didn't exist. And our fantasy football leagues were TD-only scoring.
That's right. Barry Sanders averaged seven TDs over a three-year stretch, making him a fleet-footed RB2 in fantasy, scoring 42 points a season.
We were barbarians, I know.
But everything evolves, including fantasy football over the past 20 years. From adding points for yardage, to adding a third wide receiver, to adding a flex position, to drafting IDPs, to auctions, to survivor leagues -- the sport of fantasy football is always being modified every five years or so.
It's time to start modifying again!
Before you click on the Twitter link to e-yell at me that I'm ruining the purity of the game that your great-grandfather taught you, just hear me out.
I'm not trying to make you throw your league out, start anew with European scoring rules or anything. All I'm saying is you're probably in more than one league already. So think about making some alterations to one of your "other" leagues. You can even get the same guys from your one league and get them to try one of these alternative ideas.
Collecting league fees is always a pain every season. Maybe the first six teams that pay their fees get a 10-percent discount and the last three teams have to pay a 20-percent penalty?
In one dynasty league I was in, we instituted a rule where each year, all of the teams would pay 125 percent of the league fees. So we would pay $125 for a $100 league fee. That extra $25 would go into a kitty, and then, after four seasons, we had a Super Duper Bowl. This meant the champion that season would take home a prize that had been building for four seasons, adding up to an extra $1,200. The reason this was so great was because it added an extra layer of strategy, as some teams would adjust their strategies in Year 2 or 3 in order to gear up for a big Year 4.
I did not win. So this rule is dumb!
My buddy George is Australian and he loves fantasy football. Did you know their fantasy football drafts go in a counter-clockwise order, and the 12th pick selects first and the first pick drafts last? OK, well, sometimes I lie.
But I do think people don't take advantage of how exciting the draft and the draft lottery can be. Too often, we're all so excited to get the draft going, that we zoom through the lottery and rush our way through the draft. Take a step back and enjoy it!
Rather than just have the same old hat with the same old names being pulled out of it, mix it up. I read on Reddit where someone set up a beer pong table, and people tossed ping pong balls into mixed-up red solo cups that had a draft number on the bottom of it. That's what determined their draft order! Be creative!
Also, consider allowing the lottery winner to choose where in the draft they'd like to pick. Personally, I'd rather have the third overall pick over the first two picks. You'd get one of the top three running backs (Arian Foster, LeSean McCoy or Ray Rice), and you'd end up with a higher draft pick in the second round than the other two owners.
If you're in a keeper league, think about putting three names into the hat for the worst team, and two names in for the second-worst team. This gives them a better chance at a high draft pick, hopefully, counteracting the fact they likely don't have great keepers. If you are in a dynasty league, they should automatically get the top pick.
It's not uncommon to see the teams that lose in Week 1 finding themselves in the championship at the end of the season. A couple years ago, Week 1 losers had a chance to snatch up players like Michael Vick and Peyton Hillis.
So rather than over-rewarding a loser, how about changing to a free-agent acquisition budget (FAAB) system? This allows everyone the same chance at all the players every week. They can bid on players each Wednesday, choosing to spend what they want, with a $100 budget for the year (free agents are free after Thursday).
Another fun option is to have your waivers play out on Twitter! Players can be picked up and dropped at any time -- even during a game! Talk about making Sunday dinner at the in-laws stressful!
The first one to pick up a player gets him -- and whomever he drops is instantly available to other owners. This reminds me of a boiler room at some finance firm on Wall Street with people yelling "Buy! Buy!" and "Sell! Sell!" and "Who ate my sandwich!?!" (I honestly don't know what goes on in those boiler rooms, but I like to think there are a lot of sandwiches being pilfered out of the breakroom fridge.)
"The Twitter" is underutilized by many fantasy owners. There's a lot to be learned on there, and I've set up a huge list of
Hopefully, you can install some of these rules into your league -- or better yet, it inspired you to come up with some interesting rules of your own! Tweet them to me! (Grown men should not say, "Tweet.")

Greek-Style Burgers with Feta Aioli
This burger—stuffed with roasted bell peppers and spinach—carries Greek flavors in every bite. We've topped it with a tomato slice, lettuce leaves, and our low-fat version of the garlicky French mayonnaise aioli (ay-OH-lee) made more flavorful by adding feta cheese.
How to Make It
To prepare aioli, combine first 5 ingredients in a food processor; pulse 1 minute or until smooth. Cover and chill.
Prepare grill or broiler.
To prepare the burgers, place onion slices on a grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook 2 minutes on each side. Set aside.
Combine the beef and the next 9 ingredients (beef through crushed garlic) in a large bowl. Divide the beef mixture into 5 equal portions, shaping each portion into a 1/2-inch-thick patty. Place patties on grill rack or broiler pan coated with cooking spray, and cook for 6 minutes on each side or until burgers are done. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons aioli over top half of each bun. Place patties on bottom halves of buns, and top each with 1 onion slice and top half of bun.

Sad news about a Bicycle Times contributor
Editor's note: Back in Issue #13, we ran a piece by Kyle Lehman titled "Like Riding A Bike". It told the story of how he lost his grandfather when he was young and later reconnected with his past through cycling. Shortly after the story went to press, Kyle embarked on a 5,000 mile bike tour of the southern U.S.
Just a few hundred miles short of his destination, in Daytona Beach, Fla., he was riding with friends when he was struck by a minivan. Despite wearing a helmet, he suffered a traumatic brain injury and was in critical condition. Once stablized, he was flown to a Denver hospital where he will remain for the rest of his rehabilitation. The story of his accident was also told by one of his former teachers, Chris Jones, in the May 14 issue of ESPN The Magazine.
You can read Kyle's story from Issue #13 below, you can donate to his recovery at HelpHOPELive.com, and read his dispaches from the road on his blog.
Like Riding A Bike
By Kyle Lehman,
It was a Schwinn. I can remember that much. Slung low to the ground with sweeping chrome handlebars and a ratty banana seat that had been baked into granite by decades under the unforgiving Montana sun. My brother and I yanked it from the dusty shadows of my grandfather's barn and I swung a leg over the blistered red frame, grabbing the split plastic grips like a bronco rider to reins. Lined up before me was a hundred-yard drag strip of potholed access road cut from the rich Bitterroot farmland.
We were visiting for the week, having made the nine-hour drive from Oregon to my grandparent's farm. Days were spent in the dusty shadow of my grandfather, me trying my best to act useful as he poured slop for hogs, beat rusting machinery into form, and hauled irrigation pipes through his fields.
The old Schwinn filled the moments in between, resting patiently in the backyard like a tethered mustang. Waiting.
Warily I chose my line of attack, tracing a route through the apple-sized rocks and ruts riddling the road. I was determined to ride, to finally break free from the hesitant, foot- dragging, noodle-armed fear that had consumed my previous efforts. With eyes fixed on the horizon and legs straining, the bike wrenched to a start, its cracked rubber tires gaining momentum across the hardpack in a rambling charge toward seared elbows and gritty knees.
Gradually my attempts to ride began to flow together. Slowly I replaced the flurries of hot dust and bruised skin with cascading rampages of speed, carrying my momentum through the ruts and rocks, and bouncing precariously out the other side on top of two twenty-inch wheels.
My fear faded with each improvement, and with it, the frantic movements and desperation that always preceded a crash. I was beginning to relax. Beginning to breathe. I measured my progress by furrows in the field, from five rows to ten, then the end and back without stopping. Then anywhere.
I am twenty-one years old, I have been riding for three hours, tracing the highways and bike paths from my home in Missoula due south through the Bitterroot Valley, towards the 117 acres of my grandfather's farm that I haven't seen in eleven years. I leave at six in the evening for the one hundred mile ride without a map or directions, just the anxious notion that memory alone will deliver me.
I am riding hard, my tires humming on the warm road and wind searing across my knuckles. The ragged teeth of the Bitterroots rise to my right; the hot summer air channeled along their length stifles my lungs. Miles to the south, wisps of virga dance over the valley, glowing pink in the fading sun.
As I cross the Bitterroot River outside of Hamilton the wind kicks up, blasting into my chest and throwing flecks of fat summer rain into my face. I crank through town and turn east toward the Sapphire Mountains, my eyes searching for some landmark to jump from the annals of memory and guide me to the farm. I can feel darkness coming as I drop my eyes and push the bike's tallest gear across the blacktop.
After that Montana summer when I learned to ride, the ragged Schwinn returned to the dusty alcove from which it came, but sporadic memories of it and my grandfather's sagging red barn amid the brisling alfalfa fields remain. On one visit my cousin, brother, and I found a long list of names hewn into the rough wood of a grain silo, deep in the barn. The names stretched from far above my reach nearly to the floor, a sprawling record of those who had passed through the barn. I imagined drifters and hired hands and cowboys. Lives and stories stretching out on both sides of the brief minutes they spent in this dark corner, pocketknife in hand, hewing their names into the wood like points on a timeline.
On the last day we added our names, unease growing as I watched. Like it was wrong, like we didn't belong with such company. We were tourists forcing ourselves on a place beyond our understanding. Somewhere in the rubble of that old barn is my name, carved on an old pine plank under many others. The last in a long line.
Maybe they really were drifters and cowpokes and outlaws, but most likely not. If their motivations were anything like mine, they left their names partially out of boredom, and maybe a bit out of the desire to leave something behind. To make something that stuck.
I am thirteen. In less than a year my grandfather will die. We walk through the field behind my house in Oregon and watch my dad's draft horses rolling over the pasture. I see my grandfather change as he watches them, his posture stiffening and eyes growing soft. It's probably been two of my lifetimes since he last rode, and slowly he recounts stories summoned by the timeless grace of the animals. Stories of charging through grass slews after fox, pursuing them over the prairie until they collapse from exhaustion, then clubbing them over the head and selling their hides.
Alzheimer's is setting in. He tells the same story over and over, pausing in between, then seeing the horses and starting again. I listen to every telling. Every word.
Waiting for something new, some vignette, a piece of his past riding around in the depths of memory waiting to be jarred loose and passed on. I commit his words to memory, desperate to carve every sentence into my mind. Knowing that I can only retain so much and never brush the surface of what he knows. Knowledge of farming and horses and sustaining through bitter North Dakota winters miles from electricity. Months so fierce and dark he had to stretch a hemp rope from the back door to the barn just to find it. Knowledge that takes lifetimes to gain and just a generation to lose.
I cried at his funeral. Uncomfortable in the stiff clothes bought for the occasion. I heard my grandfather was a wonderful tap dancer and catcher on the softball team and could guess the weight of a hog to the nearest pound, but I never had the chance to talk to him as a man, or saddle up horses and rip across the rolling Montana wheat fields like I'd always dreamed.
My memories of the man are rooted in the inconsequential observations of a child. Erratic scenes spliced together like the contents of an old VHS tape that's been re-recorded too many times, its contents jumbled and incoherent. The pearl snaps on his shirts, the way he rolled his jeans up at the cuffs and combed his hair so that it broke over his forehead like a sweeping silver wave.
Suddenly these were the only remnants I would ever know. The ability to learn, ask questions, hear stories, all of that was gone, scraped as bare as a beet field in late fall. My oldest living relative shuffled out of my life without a final handshake or words of advice, leaving only the unfamiliar image of him in his black suit and tie rather than the worn jeans and flannel shirts I knew. The golden brown coffin we carried from the church in Oregon his final ride. With time his voice and actions fall away, grow soft like rust collecting on the blade of a knife.
In the fertile valley he once worked, developments have spread, capping the rich black loam with concrete and asphalt. In the darkness I forge ahead. As I turn from the main road my mind flickers with recognition. The sweet mixture of dirt and alfalfa drifts to me as I cross the creek where my brother slashed his foot open on a shard of river rock and stumbled back to the farmhouse trailing bloody footprints.
Ten years later I follow his path back. Ahead, the oak and maple trees lining the yard loom from the night. I roll off the road, my tires grinding through the loose gravel. I unclip my feet from the pedals and stare. In the twilight the Sears and Roebuck farmhouse is just how I remember it, the irrigation ditch stretching in front, the backyard where as a five-year-old I dreamed of riding my grandparent's dog over the fence after a trip to the rodeo.
All but the old barn remains. Family lore says it was built in the late 1800s by the Copper King Marcus Daly to house his racing thoroughbreds between trips to the Belmont Stakes. Now a simple corrugated shed sits on the upturned dirt where it once was. It's late, and I don't approach the house, slouching just outside of the yellow beam from its lone porch light. From where I stand I can see enough, let the darkness filter out the new owner's changes and preserve my memory.
I can feel rain coming, and with it a restlessness, a desire to leave.
I turn for home, letting the methodic work of pedaling overtake my thoughts. I am over forty miles out, fleeing the ragged edge of a thunderstorm, sailing down an iridescent ribbon of highway under the glowing moon. Lighting bursts to the east, backlighting the Sapphire range like breakers in the distance. In the Bitterroots a fire is burning; I can taste the smoke and see its embers resting like scabs on the hills. The day's heat carries into the night and cold strings of sweat roll down my face. Just outside of Stevensville the storm overtakes me, embracing me with billowing curtains of rain.
The initial joy of finding the farm has worn off, replaced with the burn of lactic acid in my legs and a hunger in my stomach. Home seems far away, stifled by the mass of black thunderclouds to the north. A car's headlights stream onto the bike path, glaring off the wet pavement. Blinded and disoriented, I stray from the path, ripping open my front tire on a staple. Cowering under an oak tree, I press my last patch onto the flaccid tube, my frustration growing with the rain.
I squeeze until my stiff fingers ache with the pressure. This patch must hold. A square centimeter of rubber is my ticket home; one errant glass shard or sheetrock screw will mean a thirty-mile hike in bike shoes.
I reassemble the wheel, pump it up, and take to the spongy seat. As I turn back onto the bike trail, my jacket heavy with rain and muscles stiff with inactivity, I think back to the furrows that once measured my progress. Now it's homes and construction sites and mile markers, points of recognition that will deliver me.
But there is another realization, one that is just beginning to emerge as I struggle for an escape from the discomfort. An awareness that whether it's clutching for memories and landscapes to affirm a bond that's deeper than both, or battling a rusted Schwinn over a rugged access road, there is a point of submission: a time to relax and trust your balance. A time to breathe. To pedal.

Mack Gordon / Harry Revel
One never knows, does one?
When love will come along
Then so suddenly life turns out to be a song
One never knows, does one?
The moment or the place
Then right before your eyes
Someone occupies your embrace
Someday look and you'll find
Two hearts were blest
Someday fate may be kind
Pray for the future
Hope for the best
One never knows, does one?
That's just the way it goes
All at once you hear
"Hold me. Caress me"
And then love may come
But when, one never knows

With the 5,000/1 odds Leicester were given last summer against winning the Premier League, now widely documented as bookmaker's face paying out enough winnings for a fan to place a down-payment on a house, perhaps the biggest indication of where this set of champions go next is found in the bookie windows. Leicester are currently shorter to get relegated at 25/1 than they are to repeat their triumph, at 33/1
"Surely this is an absolute one-off season" says the person who sets these odds, Andrew Wright of SkyBet, but it has been such a season of wonder for Leicester that it would take the most heartless of pragmatists to start concerning themselves with what comes next.
They will have to cope with the expectation that comes with a title defence, the demands of mid-week European excursions and that all comes after they have had to dodge the vultures that may attempt to circle around their players.
They could even be here to stay. Leicester's Thai duty-free magnates already have the financial muscle to meet new contract demands, hence the £80,000-a-week they handed out to Jamie Vardy in February, and are set to reap the rewards of the £92 million Premier League prize money and the boost of competing in next year's Champions League.
Global exposure
The global exposure borne from this achievement will open new revenue and advertising streams while there are plans to extend the 32,000 stadium that has been packed full for the season and is awaiting possible visits from Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Roma in the coming year.
Other clubs will be working hard to reign them back in of course; Manchester City have recruited Pep Guardiola to work under their open cheque-book whilst Manchester United may have Jose Mourinho in tow. Tottenham seem intent on sticking around under the brilliant Mauricio Pochettino, Liverpool have Jurgen Klopp, Arsenal could move on from Arsene Wenger and become stronger whilst it is hard to imagine Chelsea enduring such a painful season as this one under Antonio Conte.
But whatever happens next the fact is nobody can take away the Premier League winner's medal that will hang from the neck of Vardy who four years ago was playing non-league football for Fleetwood Town and was so overawed by his move up to the King Power Stadium that he began to turn up drunk to training when he first joined.
Marc Albrighton, released from Aston Villa last summer, Danny Simpson, who was overlooked for Nedum Onouha at QPR and shuffled out for less than £2 million, and Andy King, who has been with the Foxes since their League One days at the end of the last decade, will all share the winning podium with Vardy after the home game with Everton on Saturday.
Riyad Mahrez, a reluctant bargain basement £375k signing from Le Havre after so many coaches and scouts had turned him away for his sleight physique, will add a winner's medal to his mantelpiece alongside his PFA Player of the Year award and the winger's rise has been so captivating that his achievement earned praise from the president of Algeria for inspiring his nation.
Captivating and inspiring
And that's what Leicester have done- captivated and inspired in a way that transcends football. It must be pointed out that their billionaire owners have been lavish enough to fund the league's 8th most expensive recruitment program over the past 2 seasons but the true sense of wonder lies in how they've championed spirit and togetherness, playing a simple but effective way using a sustained core of players with Claudio Ranieri smiling on from the dugout and doing his best to keep a lid on the hysteria.
Ranieri was derided by many, including myself, when he accepted Leicester's call to replace Nigel Pearson last summer but he has answered those critics majestically whilst never losing his dignity or appeal.
The Italian has took an axe to the 'tinkerman' image that he picked up during his time with Chelsea, the 27 changes he has made to his starting XI only bettered by Manchester United's 26 in the Premier League's inaugural year. Leicester have 10 outfield players who have started 27 or more games.
That continuity has allowed the momentum to build and much is owed to the work of Matt Reeves, Leicester's head of fitness and coaching, and the hugely detailed work carried out in their state of the art medical and sports science departments. They have honed for example the extraordinary fitness levels of Shinji Okazaki, a Duracell bunny of a second striker, and N'Golo Kante, the midfielder who never stops running and has recorded the most tackles in the Premier League this season with 158.
The Frenchman, who head of recruitment had to persuade Ranieri to part with £6 million for, also tops the list of interceptions with 148 and is integral to Leicester's game-plan of sitting deep to wait for a mistake in possession before springing into an electric counter-attack.
Only Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion have seen less of the ball than Leicester this season but with Danny Drinkwater operating alongside the tireless Kante and using his vision to utilise the lightning pace of Vardy, top-scorer of 22 goals, it has been devastatingly effective. Mahrez, with 17 goals and 11 assists, has sprinkled the gold-dust on top.
The defence has also played its part, tightening up to keep 12 clean sheets in their last 18 games after achieving just 3 in their opening 18 when gung-ho and reckless abandon football was on the menu.
Ranieri tweaked it however, moving his defence deeper and Wes Morgan and Robert Huth, an unfancied centre-back combination allowed to play to their strengths of cutting off the room in-behind and forcing opposition teams to go wide to send crosses in, have excelled beyond any realistic expectation to see the Foxes over the line.
On Saturday Morgan will step forward to lift a trophy that seemed to be in for a future of being passed around a closed shop of elite clubs that can afford wage bills of around the eye-watering level of £200 million; whilst Leicester's for this season stood at £48.2 million, with only Norwich, Watford and Bournemouth paying their players less over this campaign.
The 32 year old will deserve every moment of it to and so too will Ranieri, a manager who now has his first top flight trophy from 30 years of management and has never compromised his principles across a career that has taken in 16 teams.
Arriving in the east midlands he was wise enough to not change too much of what Pearson left behind, his successor of course steered the club to safety last season with 7 wins from their last 9 games and sowed some of the seeds that led to the extraordinary momentum that has swept Leicester to this historic triumph.
But it is his triumph and so too his players and the fans and everybody at the club who worked so hard to deliver it. Challenges will come and a fall from grace may await them, but for now they can revel in every accolade, every plaudit and every drip of praise rightfully handed to them.
Something of this size may never happen again but people will never forget Leicester's incredible story.

Fingerprint scanners on phones have never been super popular, but they've been a reliable way to secure mobile computing devices for nearly a decade. They have often been used in laptops and PDAs, but the only high-profile Android device to ever sport a fingerprint scanner was the Motorola Atrix. There are rumors floating around that Apple will be including a fingerprint scanner in a future iPhone, so it's not too absurd to think that Android OEMs would be playing around with the idea as well.
When leaked pictures of the HTC One Max showed up last week, it was speculated that a square black panel on the back of the phone could be a fingerprint scanner. Today, newly leaked images of the phone seem to confirm that notion, giving us a closer look at the fingerprint scanner and a toggle in the phone's setting to turn the feature on or off.
Personally, I have no use for a fingerprint scanner on my phone. I rarely use pattern, face or pin locks on the phones that I use, so adding another locking option doesn't really excite me. However, I can admit that there is a certain appeal to fingerprint scanning for those who do need to make sure their device is secure. Passwords and pins are probably secure enough for the majority of users, but they are a hassle. You press your phone's power button to check your emails, but you first have to type in a 4-8 digit key. A fingerprint scanner would probably only save you a second or two every time you need to unlock your phone, but that could add up to a minute or two each day potentially saving you a few hours every month.
The fingerprint scanner on the Motorola Atrix worked just fine. The phone wasn't ever a huge success, but we doubt it was because it had a fingerprint scanner on the back. I do not think a fingerprint scanner will help sale of the HTC One Max, but I could be wrong. Do you think the fingerprint scanner is an important piece of Android smartphone's security puzzle?

ARTIST: eRikm and Akosh S.
ALBUM: Zufall
LABEL: Ronda Label
REVIEWER: Matthew J.
On the latest release from innovative record company Ronda Label, Paris-based artists eRikm and Akosh S. team up for a session of jazz-influenced improvisational sound manipulation in seven untitled parts. Hungarian-born Akosh S. takes center stage for most of this recording, simply by dint of being the one who plays most of the instruments. Jumping back and forth between clarinet, saxophone, and occasionally more exotic instruments, his melodic riffs range from strident squeals to inquisitive honks to an exotic, almost Mediterranean bleating near the end of the album. Given the free jazz mood of the album, some of his choices are bound to be more exciting than others, and his forays into more folk and tribal territory tend to be less compelling than his avant-garde woodwind and brass work; the kalimba in particular sounds more like filler than a musical necessity. eRikm, for his part, uses turntables and samples to provide a rhythmic underpinning for Akosh S.'s freestyle playing. Using cuts, splices and fades borrowed from hip-hop, he throws in unexpected sounds to make familiar techniques seem spectacularly weird; everyone's heard a DJ pull beats from old jazz, funk and soul records, but hearing someone chopping and scratching classical music is a much more foreign experience, and fascinating for its novelty alone. While the improvisational nature of this album makes it somewhat hit-or-miss in places, it's an impressive display of technique on the part of both musicians. Experimental music fans, especially those who are comfortable with free jazz's ambiguous relationships with structure and melody, are sure to appreciate that.
