text: One of the most notorious bands to record Peel Sessions are the legendary Napalm Death, with their ferocious live versions still considered by many to be amongst their finest recordings. Indeed, Mick Harris himself in an interview for the 'Grind Madness At The BBC' compilation release noted, "I've always said this, and a lot of people agree, that the first Peel session was the most extreme recording that the band ever made. There was something about that space we recorded in. It was about capturing the essence and it did, it caught Napalm Death during the infancy of that line-up, and we just went in and played everything we knew."

Digital Phase Detector with the world's first non-metal-contact voltage sensors. At installation of three-phase power distribution, electricians had to conduct a four-step test (3 x voltages between each line and 1 x overall phase rotation.) Now, thanks to the three voltage sensors, the PD3259 is able to do the test in just one-step. The time and complexity are dramatically reduced. Also, the voltage sensors are of non-metal contact, which are very safe and reduces physical and mental work load of the electricians. The PD3259 surely is a tool to revolutionize the work style in the field.

I was just looking for some Doctor Who videos on YouTube and I found this one. It lists a load of reasons why the Classic Doctor Who series was better than the current new one. I have listed some below, but make sure you watch the video and give credit to davros667788 for the ideas and reasons. You can view the original video by clicking here.
- There was no time war, which meant we were able to see episodes set on Gallifrey (The Planet of the Timelords) and Skaro.
- There was no Torchwood. (Unit was much better than it is now.)
- The spin offs were descent such as 'The Autons Trilogy' and 'Shakedown: The return of the Sontarans'.
- The Doctor had an anger level for humans.
- More violence and deaths on screen.
- Not much emotion for companions.
- The seasons had quests like, 'The Key to time' season. (This sites name!)
- The titles had the face of the Doctor in them.
- The next time trailers release too many spoilers.
- The Sonic screw driver was better.
Do you agree with the points above? Has the time war wrecked the new series from the outset? New or classic, which is your favourite?

In a world, a country, with dwindling art and music programs, I'm thrilled to read at History Is Elementary that students in upper elementary grades (grades 4, 5, and 6) will be taught darkroom photography and printmaking.
I'm so jealous — but mostly happy. *wink*
And I hope it starts a trend.
In the article, along with a discussion of use of photography in teaching history, there's this:
What a terrific opportunity to teach what may be a dying art. Bob Smith, a local photographer in my neck of the woods states, "This is interesting …I guess it's great to expose them to the way [photography] used to be done, but in ten years, they may have to buy the chemicals themselves to do the developing. I wonder what types of film will still be sold in ten years. You have to go to professional photography shops……just to buy old 120 film that went in every camera since World War II…and they have to wait on the manufacturer to produce the next allotment."
I don't have any statistics to back up sales of film and photography equipment, but it seems to me that film photography is on the incline. But maybe that's just my own anecdotal experiences — which includes my 10 year old son's intent fascination with an antique camera at our last visit at an antique shop.

Many visitors from England think visiting Scotland is Glasgow and the Highlands and drive right past the Dumfriesshire turn off en route to other parts of Scotland. They are missing some of Scotland's most beautiful unspoilt countryside and coastline with lovely towns and villages to explore. This of course is a bonus for walkers, cyclists and lovers of outdoor pursuits who can relish in the quieter country roads. Explore by bicycle or on foot you'll discover sandy beaches, miles and miles of forest trails, gentle slopes or rugged hikes to the top of hills and mountains with the reward of spectacular views.
Dumfries is the largest town in the county and the headquarters for the whole of the Dumfries and Galloway region. This lovely riverside town nestles on the banks of the River Nith, and is famous for its connection with the famous poet Robert Burns who spent much of his adult life there. There are many places to visit in Dumfries which celebrate their historical connections with him. Dumfries also has excellent leisure facilities such as the Ice Bowl, the largest ice rink in the area and fairly new DG One leisure centre with swimming pool featuring the amazing swirling river flumes, sports courts, health and fitness facilities and regular live theatre shows.
Other attractions in the area include Mabie Farm Park an excellent family attraction that has steadily developed over the years. It has all weather play facilities, slides, rides, quad bikes, paddle boats, feed the animals, cafe, gift shop and much more! On the site of the former RAF Dumfries base, there's the Aviation Museum – see the 1940′s shop, an air shelter and exhibits are not roped off so you can really see them properly and some planes you can actually go inside – not just a wee boys dream.
So make that all important turn into Dumfriesshire and you'll find more than just a base to explore from. A warm welcome with quality cottages, lodges and caravans in beautiful locations!

lemon rhubarb cake (gluten-free + quick how-to videos)/
I had to take Sundae to the vet today. Nothing serious (we hope), she just has a bladder infection, but my goodness ever since we moved up here to Utah, it seems like this poor pup gets bladder infections. This is her third one. Luckily we FINALLY found a kind, smart and understanding vet that doesn't charge up the bottom and I think she's gonna help us kick this silly thing.
Speaking of bottoms, I totally held Myles' butt up to my face while the vet was talking to me to see if he had pooped. I didn't really realize what I had done until after I'd done it. Story of my life - me acting THEN thinking, but the vet smiled at me and kept talking as though I'd done nothing weird.
I also realized that I am totally that mom that I said I'd never be.... which is the slightly gross mom.
Example: I got a piece of cake with a new friend today at my new favorite bakery (Tulie) and I kept feeding pinches of my cake to Myles. Then when he'd spit out the pinches or not quite finish the bites, I'd just discretely wipe them off his face and eat them. Again, one of those instances where I didn't really realize what I was doing until I'd already done it. Also, see aforementioned example of butt smelling.
Are you still with me? Or are you officially grossed out?
Let's talk about tastier bottoms now. Like the bottom of this cake with its cleverly cut rhubarb. (see videos below) You sprinkle sugar at the bottom of the pan right before the rhubarb goes in and this little extra sugar balances out the tartness of the rhubarb - and since the sponge of the cake itself is tang-tastically lemony - you need just a tiny bit of that sugar at the bottom to make the party dance.
Also. Cream. Whipped cream definitely makes me dance. Please note that I only artistically placed the whipped cream for the picture's sake. Really, I ate a slice of this completely lathered in cream. #itwasamazing
This is a beautifully, easy cake that keeps well in the fridge for a week and makes an excellent on the fly breakfast.
Love you friends. xo
lemon rhubarb cake (gluten-free)
adapted from Elisabeth Prueitt's Tartine All Day
I lose it when a gluten free recipe is so good you don't even know it's gluten free. Behold this cake. Fully adapted from the master pastry chef herself, Elisabeth Prueitt of Tartine Bakery. (Whispers, I love you Elisabeth). This is one to keep forever my friends. AND. You don't need to make it with rhubarb if you're not into it or scared of it or whatever. The rhubarb adds a wonderful zip to the already tangy crumb but feel free to make this recipe sans rhubarb and it will still be the best lemony gluten free cake you've ever had. I said it.
bakers note: You know how a huge pumpkin is really cool but then when that pumpkin gets turned into a golden carriage to take you to the ball it's even cooler? That's what whipped cream does to this cake.
another bakers note: It's really imperative that all of your ingredients are room temperature here. AND. Don't be putt off by this cake because of the ingredient list. Most are ingredients you probably have on hand anyway with maybe the exception of the flours. Good news is, if you have to purchase these flours in order to make the cake, they can last you a long time in the freezer. But trust me, you'll probably go through them fast because you're gonna want to make this cake a lot - it's that good and easy.
⅔ cup / 130g sugar, plus a scant ¼ cup / 50g sugar for sprinkling at the bottom of the pan
4 large eggs, room temperature, preferably pasture-raised
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup / 110g unsalted butter, at a very soft room temperature
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon coconut flour
¼ cup / 60ml water, room temperature
zest of 1 lemon
3 tablespoons lemon juice
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups / 360g almond flour, (I used 1 cup / 120g blanched almond flour and 2 cups / 240g almond meal)
¼ cup / 24g brown rice flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Preheat the oven to 350° F / 180° C and grease a 10 in / 25cm cake pan with softened butter and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Sprinkle a scant ¼ cup / 50g of sugar at the bottom of the pan and lay your cut and trimmed rhubarb to fit into the pan. *See videos here and below for a reference.
With an electric mixer, using the whisk attachment, beat together eggs, sugar and salt for 2-5 minutes until the mixture gets really light and fluffy and triples in size. You'll know its ready when you lift the whisk and satiny ribbons fall and leave a slight impression in the batter.
In a large cereal size bowl, using a spoon, smash together the really soft butter and olive oil until incorporated.
In a small bowl, mix the coconut flour and water together. Let it sit for just a sec until the coconut flour absorbs the water and gets thick, then add this to the butter + olive oil mixture.
Add lemon zest + juice + vanilla into butter mixture.
Whisk together almond + rice flour + baking powder in a bowl and then gently fold these dry ingredients into the fluffy egg + sugar mixture. This is the slightly tricky bit: Beat in only ¼ of the butter mixture. Then gently fold in the rest of the butter mixture with a spatula.
Pour batter into prepared cake pan smoothing it evenly over the cut rhubarb.
Bake until edges and top are a golden brown, about 30 minutes. If you stick a toothpick in it, some crumbs will stick to it, but the batter will not be wet at all. Let cake cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then flip it out onto a plate and let it cool for another 15 minutes or so before serving. Serve with lots fresh whipped cream.
Cake keeps for a week wrapped in the fridge if it lasts that long. :)
why is this good for me?
rhubarb - is actually a vegetable, even though I treat it like a fruit! Rhubarb contains vitamin K, calcium and some vitamin C (but not a ton). Vitamin K has actually been known to protect against Alzheimers and used as a tool to help our blood clot (therefore it may help reduce your risk of having a stroke). Look for deep red stalks as they contain more beta-carotene, which is code for higher antioxidants. ;)

In the final story of The Inn at Shining Waters, Anna Larson's granddaughter Sarah is beginning to find her independence. But her relationship with her parents suffers as a result and she travels away from all that is familiar.
While the solace of the river calls Sarah back, surprises await upon her return. Three generations of family heartbreak and disappointments converge at Shining Waters as Sarah finds God right in the center of it all.
Visit the author's website at http://www.melodycarlson.com/
River's Call, River's Song and River's End are the three great novels in the series about Anna Larson and her family at The Inn at Shining Waters.
The first two books in this series were a delight to read, and River's End continues the story of Anna, her daughter and her granddaughter as they get older and the roles of each generation changes as well.
The Inn at Shining Waters is a place of healing and peace. It is the type of place that would be fantastic to visit, and even better ... a place to call home. As the three generations of women have struggled to find their own place in the world, the stability and unconditional love of family eventually draws them back home. Just like the story of the prodigal son, they are welcomed with open hearts and open arms.
I have loved all three books in this series, and highly recommend them all!

The state's controversial global warming law still has the support of a majority of Californians despite growing doubts about its potential impact on the economy, according to a Field Poll released Tuesday.
The poll shows 58 percent of registered voters support Assembly Bill 32, which will require significant reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. The poll was commissioned by Next 10, a San Francisco nonprofit group that supports green technology and reducing gases blamed for global warming.
Next 10 released the survey as AB 32 is essentially fighting for its life; a conservative group, bankrolled by Texas oil companies, is pushing a ballot initiative to delay the law's implementation until the economy recovers.
This was first time the Field organization asked Californians specifically about AB 32. But some slippage in support for the ideas behind AB 32 was revealed in a companion question that's been asked in previous years.
Asked about global warming and the economy, 69 percent of those surveyed said they believe the state can reduce greenhouse gases "and expand jobs and economic prosperity at the same time."
That was down from 74 percent in 2008 and 83 percent in 2007.
Poll director Mark DiCamillo said the diminished support reflects anxiety over the economy. In 2007, when support for the law was higher, "people were bolder in venturing into new kinds of policies," he said in an interview.

David Richardson: Lessons from LEAF
We men all wore black ties and dinner jackets. The ladies were far more decorative, but I am not well enough informed on fashion to adequately describe their dresses. Suffice to say they looked good and were in the mood for celebration as we consumed a succession of courses of impeccable provenance.
The guest speakers were Gregg Wallace of BBC TV's Masterchef and Raymond Blanc, also famous for his TV appearances, but even more for his Michelin-starred hotel and restaurant, Le Manoir aux Quat' Saisons, in Oxfordshire. Also there performing charity auctioneering duties was past president of the RICS, Simon Pott who was entertaining as well as effective.
The birthday party, for that is what it was, marked the coming of age of LEAF (Linking Environment And Farming) and those present had either, like me, been involved in its inception or become enthusiastic supporters since. The scale and extravagance of the event was in marked contrast to its modest beginnings. But even LEAF can be excused for pushing the boat out once in 18 years.
I won't go on about the party except to say it was enjoyed by all present and mention that both speakers complemented LEAF on its achievements in promoting sustainably produced, British, local, quality food and urged it to continue. Raymond Blanc, who wore a bow tie featuring a Union Jack, was passionate on the matter. Bearing in mind his French antecedents, this was remarkable.
The following day the membership got down to business at LEAF's annual conference, where speakers led discussion on the role LEAF could and should play in addressing the problems facing farmers and consumers. There was, of course, talk of imminent changes in food security around the world and the need to produce more in as environmentally friendly ways as possible.
Will Day, chairman of the government's Sustainable Development Commission, reminded us that in the lifetime of some of those present we had moved from scarcity to plenty, but that we were about to move back from plenty to scarcity. He also warned that the world was addicted to oil and that we must find ways to respond that did not add to carbon emissions and exacerbate climate change.
Alistair Leake of The Game and Wildlife Trust thought we should look after our soil structure better. "The quality of life below ground determines the productiveness above," he said. Mike Barry, head of sustainable business at Marks & Spencer said when it comes to sustainability the world is at the foot of the mountain facing a long climb. We must all get better at it, but too many people, including farmers, ask "What's the point?" Somehow, that apathy must be reversed.
Jon Hammond, a LEAF Marque Grower believed more consumers, encouraged by an increasingly friendly media, were heading in the right direction. This is a marvellous time to be farming, he said. But Ian Piggott, a LEAF demonstration farmer and the originator of the Open Farm Sunday concept – and fellow FW columnist – said there was still a lot more to do to improve the image of agriculture. Many consumers find farmers incomprehensible, he suggested, and we should be more pro-active in reaching out to them.
My contribution was to suggest that LEAF should aim to become the main vehicle on which to base the Campaign for the Farmed Environment. All the requirements of that campaign already exist within LEAF. If most UK farmers modified their practices to fit LEAF principles the government would have no reason to introduce regulations to replace set-aside.

Ah, the sound of biting into a crisp apple, the scent of those red beauties dangling in the tree and the smell of a fresh-baked pie. It`s the season for apple harvesting, and the quality this year looks fairly good. Low humidity and scarce rainfall earlier this growing season kept scab, rust and other diseases down. There`s less insect damage, such as the dimpling and brown trails left by the apple maggot and the rotten core produced by the coddling moth. But some apple-growers have found some brown rot.
Two fungi with the impressive names of Moniiinia fruticola and M. laxa cause this fungal disease. These fungi infect apple fruits injured by insects, hail, birds or other means; birds seem to be the major culprits this year. Mature apples develop soft light-brown spots that enlarge rapidly and may destroy the entire fruit within a day or two. Ash-gray tufts of mold develop on the surface of rotted fruits in damp weather. Because brown rot usually poses only a small problem, your best control is to avoid bird damage by placing a fake snake or hanging aluminum foil strips in your apple tree. If damage occurs and brown rot invades, pick up and dispose of the affected apples. Then enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of your remaining harvest. -

Silver can dream about a hard cap as long as he wants. The NBPA will never agree to one.
Silver can dream about a hard cap as long as he wants. The NBPA will never agree to one.

Ok, let me put a possible solution out there:
NBA moves to a hard cap. Cap moves to be based on 55% of BRI, no max contracts, players can be cut from cap.
Contract signed is still 100% guaranteed, even though cut players wont count to the cap. To pay for that 5% of BRI get's put in a yearly 'legacy fund' and players cut that offseason see the remainder of their contract paid out of that, prorated based on what they sign for. The left over from the 'legacy fund' gets rolled into the cap for the next offseason.
If this were in place for the 2018 offseason. A 55% BRI would mean a $115 mil hard cap per team. The extra 5% would mean $500 million (give or take) in the fund.
Cav's decide, "We're going to cut JR Smith, LeBron walked and Smith ain't helping us." $14,720,000 comes out of the Cav's cap. Smith is guaranteed $30,400,000 the next two years no matter what. Lets say he signs a 2 year $14mil contract. For 2018 Smith get's $7,000,000 from his new team, and $7,720,000 from the legacy fund.
We hit the 2019 offseason and there was $60mil left in the 'legecy fund'. That means for the 2019 offseason, you take that and divide it evenly among the 30 teams, increasing the cap by $2mil over the 55% of BRI for the 2019 season. If the total offset salary of players cut go beyond the 5% of BRI set aside, then the owners must dip into their own pockets for offsetting contracts (divided among teams based on the percent of the fund used to cover for their players).
So now you got an all around win-win IMO. Players never give up guaranteed money, as the funds will always be set aside. Owners/GMs get flexibility in the hard cap of being able to move on from a player that under performs. The true superstars can really get theirs. Role players continually have a way to make money.
My estimation in this is the Superstars will rarely move. What you would see is the 2nd level players continuously move an take 2-3 year deals. For a guy like say, Marcus Smart, he could end up playing on 4 teams over 8 years, but that could be 8 years of $12mil AAV contracts, making him almost $100mil. Right now he might not make that over that time. It give players like that a larger pool to move to, as top teams would likely have continual money to use to change up their teams.
If I understand what you said then teams that make bad contract deals wouldn't be "punished" for their mistake but the league as a whole would pay it for them. That doesn't seem equitable for the teams that didn't and don't make those bad mistakes. It seems it would encourage teams to take a lot more risk on players with questionable health (Chandler Parsons would be thrilled to sign another huge contract, and if he's not healthy, cut him and the league will pay it out).
What incentive does a team have to offer JR Smith more than the vet minimum?
What incentive does JR have to choose the team that offers the most money when it makes no difference to his bottom line? This is why I suggested the guarantee should only be for a percentage of the total deal ... if JR signs for 2 years for $14M he gets say 75% of the difference from his old team (off the cap) rather than 100% so it's worth 25 cents on the dollar for him to take the bigger deal from another team. Maybe 75% is not enough incentive and it should be 50%, but 100% is a problem. Or maybe the guarantee should be extended to be 100% but over 15 or 20 years (which could have the added benefit of helping protect players financially from themselves).
What makes you think players will give up guaranteed contracts? They wont.
And thats not the league covering for cut players. Its players paying for cut player by not using full BRI for current salaries.
Its like my first job, my parents took 25% of my paycheck each week and put it in a college fund to pay for supplies. The legacy funds or trust fund for players is the exact same thing. Players ensuring theyll get paid.
I also dont buy teams are losing money since franchise valuations continually go up.
The money in the reserve pool comes from the teams in the form of withheld pay, using that money to pay cut players implies that the money to cut players will come from the reserve which is filled by all teams ... it should come from the team that screwed up in signing the deal in the first place.
If your parents took the 25% from you then your brother got fired because he sucked at his and they gave it to him would you think that was fair? Or are you saying the individual cut player would only get paid the amount they put in to the pool?
I doubt teams are losing money too, but they claimed they were to get the BRI to where it is now ... they will complain at people moving it up.

As far as losing money is concerned, prior to the new tv deal yes some teams probably operated at a loss. Team valuations only continued to go up, however. Amazon operates at a loss every single year, and yet it is one of the most valuable companies in retail. With the new tv deal, I suspect every team is in the black now.
And the guaranteed contracts bit is entirely seperate though anyways. Non or partially guaranteed deals dont actually benefit the owners. It benefits the league, as it allows for more player movement since teams can free up cap space. More player movement should mean more parity, especially if teams arent stuck in purgatory with bad deals. And non or partially guaranteed deals can benefit the players. Thats the whole point Im making generally.
The owners benefit from a hard cap because they cant be forced to decide between paying insane tax bills and competing or not paying the tax and sucking. A cap for players would result in a similar share of money overall, so it doesnt significantly impact them as a whole from a monetary standpoint. But if you inplement a hard cap, you now run into how teams can or cant be built. Thats where the guaranteed deals come into play. This issue doesnt impact the owners bottom lines. It only affects how an owner can build his team. But from a players standpoint, this impacts them more than the actual implementation of the hard cap individually. Injured or underperforming players lose money with non or partially guaranteed deals. Healthy, consistent and productive players get rewarded since theres now more money in free agency.
And by more money, I mean you know longer have the 8th guy on the team eating up $12 mill per year. So when guys hit free agency, the money pool is larger, since thats money is again available. Take John Henson for the bucks. He makes $11 mill next year. If he were cut, hed probably sign for no more than $5 mill, which dumps $6 mill back into the FA pool for the same number of players. So that with 20+ players around the league, and theres some real cash opening up.

To review:
Hard cap would have to be considerably higher than it is now and would need a CBA change to implement it.
Hard cap would be a problem with guaranteed contracts so there needs to be some way to mitigate guaranteed contracts to keep probably a third of the NBA teams to be stuck in salary cap hell year after year.
I don't believe a hard cap will make a significant difference in which teams win the most since regardless of rules better owners tend to end up with front offices and coaches and talent and win more. And the reality of the situation is most likely that Silver mentioned it just to make the complainers happy for a bit.
Golden state drafted incredibly well, but they still landed a good stroke of luck by happening to have their success coincide with an incredibly rare massive cap jump and coincide with a top player also being a free agent. They still would have been really good and could still have a few rings, but theyre a different team without Durant obvisously.
The nba is still going to come down to the top few players at the end of the day more than any team sport. Good management can help get you there, but theres plenty of times where a little luck helps in getting one of those top few players. But I do think a hard cap would help. It at least makes it a little more difficult to assemble a super team.
Love the hard cap idea. LOVE IT!! I feel like oprah, you get a hard cap and you get a hard cap.

What if early Soft Machine had a serious blues bent and hired an ace guitarist? Slobber Pup.
What if Last Exit had swapped Peter Brötzmann for Larry Young? Slobber Pup.
What if the Band of Gypsies had been strictly an instrumental outlet for Jimi Hendrix's burgeoning fusion leanings? Slobber Pup.
Slobber Pup is a supergroup of sorts, banded together by the need to stretch out, plug in and jam on loose, blues-based forms. Like other Rare Noise Projects, band members are culled from the Rare Noise family of artists: both the band's leader Jamie Saft (organ, keyboards) and Balazs Pandi (drums) were together on the most excellent Metallic Taste of Blood project from last year (they also played for Merzbow). And then they add Trevor Dunn on bass (Broken Arm Trio, Mr. Bungle, The Melvins, John Zorn's Electric Masada) and arguably the king of free jazz guitar and prior band mate of Saft's, Joe Morris.
There admittedly isn't a whole lot a variation from tune to tune and even less within each song. It's loud, it's real jam-my, lots of single-line noodling and chord changes requires acts of Congress. But these are top-shelf improvisers, and within this simple, organic framework, they ply their trade like top-shelf improvisers. The songs were made up on the spot by the band, but if I didn't tell you that, your own ears would have.
There are just five tracks, four if you toss out the sub-three minute drum explosion excursion "Basalt," but you shouldn't, because everyone is playing their asses off even in this brief moment. The rest are finger blister-inducing lengths, and none more so than the nearly half-hour acid blues jam "Accuser." On here, Morris never sounded more…err, tonal. As it turns out, he's an excellent blues improviser on the level of his unique improvisation skills in the out-jazz realm. After playing hard for nearly a quarter hour, everyone holds their place in the middle of the song, giving Morris a breather, but he soon uncorks another blizzard of notes amidst Dunn's thunderous bass, Saft's unrelenting organ and Pandi's booming thwack. A group improv of the purest form with nary a trace of jazz anywhere. Except, perhaps, in spirit.
Morris' microtonal expressions against an elusive root chord makes "Black Aces" the closest to avant jazz of the bunch, but Dunn's searching, high-register bass lines puts the song on the experimental rock side of exotic. When Saft swoops in with thick slabs of organ going up against Pandi's thrashing about, it conjures up more than a passing resemblance to the original Tony Williams Lifetime band. "Suffrage" springs from Pandi's funky beat with a filthy bass line, dense organ, and an agitated guitar. What starts "Taint Of Satan" as a cloud of thick, sonic smoke ends with a singular, lumbering, feedback-laden monster.
This music has been described as metal, hardcore and grindcore at the core. For all I know though, Black Aces could have been recorded at the Fillmore in 1970, except that most of the members of the band probably weren't even born yet. That matters none, because they managed to capture the essence of a time when lines between rock, blues, funk and jazz were blurry and musicians were good enough to tackle it all at once. Slobber Pup is more than good enough.

The meet: Morrison's Fleetville
The destination: the Hub Redbourn
This week we welcomed a really healthy sized group to the ride; we had 4 of the 5MTF regular ladies and 8 riders who had seen our group on the GoSkyRide site or had spied our own website and decided to give us a go. We are used to riders coming up from London, but this week our fame had spread as far as Wellingborough!
So at 10am a contingent of a dozen riders followed me along a route I knew well, taking the quiet Valley Road that swings around to the Harpenden Road. We pootled along and took Beesonend Lane, which leads to the fisheries. It's here that everybody has to do their best at lifting their bike up onto a bridge to get over the river Ver. We made our way past the Redbournbury Mill, which is a fine sight. One of the pleasures of doing these rides is showing people who live in this area just what is sitting on their doorstep, with main roads bypassing a lot of the more interesting parts of our countryside.
Up from the mill we climbed and then on to a stint on the A5, which was quiet and I was able to get the group over to Punchbowl Lane without trouble. Punchbowl lane is a great ascent, it's not too steep, but it just steadily and windingly carries on for what seems like an eternity and at one point we all had to pull over for a road-swallowing tractor as harvest was in full swing. After this lengthy climb we reached the top and headed up Cherry Trees Lane and over to Holtsmere End, and then down into the back of Redbourn and a welcome break at the cyclist café The Hub for a good natter and a lovely stop. It's quite nice to stop at an establishment that uses local produce, i.e. cakes and bread that come from the mill we had passed earlier.
We set off again and this time we made our way to the Nicky Line and followed this all the way to Harpenden. At about halfway a major road breaks the line and unfortunately there had been an accident - with an ambulance crew in attendance. As we made our way past this incident a huge group swept past us and up the Nicky Line. We popped off the Nicky and went through Harpenden and up Piggott's Hill towards Wheathampstead. This is a fairly busy road so a strict single file was in order, but soon enough we entered Nomansland Common and back into the leafy countryside. It was just a quick jaunt along Jersey Lane and we were back at the start.
I would just like to say thanks to Theresa for being a great back marker; she really made life easier for me and the whole group.

The American Dream: A Reality Check
Friday, August 2, 2013
The world's best and brightest… struggling to reach our shores… reaching for a better life… and there is no better way to fulfill that American dream than through entrepreneurship.
But for immigrants, which came first – the American dream or entrepreneurship? It has long been assumed that the fiery spirit of capitalism infused those who came to the United States, bringing their talent and enterprise to create one Horatio Alger rags-to-riches story after another. However, as a recent study highlighted in Forbes argues, the high rate of entrepreneurship amongst immigrants has less to do with the inspiring American dream than mistreatment immigrants face at the hands of their employers.
The authors of the study at Israel's Ono Academic College sifted through data on LinkedIn (where most entrepreneurs maintain a presence) and research from the United Nations to arrive at their conclusion. The researchers confirmed that entrepreneurship is positively correlated with a high influx of immigrants into the U.S., but they noted that many immigrant entrepreneurs were not entrepreneurial at home. The reason for their turn to entrepreneurship once they arrived here? Discriminatory hiring practices. The researchers argue such discrimination, along with other obstacles, are the primary drivers of immigrants to pursue businesses on their own.
As Washington works to forge compromises on the immigration reform bill, the plight of new immigrants trying to enter the workforce reminds of the many difficulties they face. Increased entrepreneurship may appear to be the silver lining of exclusionary hiring practices and mistreatment at the workplace, but it no doubt comes at a heavy cost. While the Forbes piece points out that 21% of high-net-worth Americans became rich through entrepreneurship, the road to such wealth is paved with sweat and tears, especially for foreign nationals. It is certainly not a road filled with guarantees or universal support from others.
The impact of discrimination on immigrant entrepreneurship is also a clarion call that America needs to work harder to end such intolerance and provide better education to both newcomers and their children. Education is a bridge to opportunity, for both native-born and foreign-born citizen alike. However, more importantly for new immigrants, it is also a path from discrimination to assimilation.

A mother dog risked her life to save her puppies from the fire surrounding the burning house, which started because of a car bomb.
The mother dog, Amanda, raced back and forth between the house, putting her 10 day old puppies in the safest place she could find – a fire truck!
She didn't stop racing back into the fire until all of her puppies were safely away from the fire. The firemen on scene could not believe their eyes. Most people have never seen a dog this smart or this brave!
After rescuing all of her pups from the blaze, Amanda sat down next to them, protecting them with her body. Onlookers called an emergency veterinary service and she and her pups were rushed to the hospital. Aside from one puppy being treated for serious burns, the entire family are alive and well – thanks to the bravery of Amanda!
What a heroic mother!

Impact of Winter Storm Continues to Be Felt in Dallas Co.
From the West Alabama Newsroom–
The winter weather event has caused officials in Selma and Dallas County to close schools, government offices and roads.
The aftermath of the winter storm left the Selma area covered in a blanket of snow and ice.
EMA Director Toya Stiles says county roads have been deemed impassible and she's urging people not to drive.
"All citizens are encouraged not to be on the roadways," she said.
"Only vehicles should be on the roadways as of right now are emergency vehicles."
Stiles says another night of freezing temperatures means the dangerous road conditions will last a little longer.
"We're not going to go above freezing until tomorrow, so that could cause problems as far as icing on the roadways as well as sleet on the roadways."

Staten Island & Brooklyn New York Disability Lawyer | Social Security Administration to Use Electronic Medical Records to Cut Down Disability Claim Processing Time
Frank J. Dito, Jr.
Comments (0)
The Social Security Administration is planning to use electronic medical records to try to cut down on the disability claim backlog.
The Social Security Administration will receive medical records and clinical information from hospitals and other healthcare providers electronically in order to review each Social Security Disability case more quickly and efficiently.
Until now the Social Security Administration has been processing disability applications by using a paper based system. They are looking to start implementing this process soon along with a separate process for collecting disability claim applications online. They hope that the combination of these two new processes will speed up the time it currently takes to process the disability applications.

NAMM 2014: Fender Celebrates 60th Anniversary of Stratocaster!
Here's the latest from Martin Guitars at the 2014 NAMM Show.
Here are some of the great unadvertised Boxing Week deals we have – due to space issues these didn't make it into our ads, but we still have stock (check your local store for availability)...
Read More
I'm a left-handed person, but I play guitar right-handed. I'll be the first to admit life isn't fair for the left-handed guitarist. There isn't anywhere near the selection of guitars for the left-handed as there is for right-handed. And when it comes to things like Boxing Week, all I can say is it must be frustrating to see all of these great deals everyone else is getting and not be able to get a deal of your own.Read More
We just recently became dealers for Schecter Guitars, and the timing was great for our Boxing Week Sale. Boxing Week deals can come from a lot of places – suppliers might have some extra stock, maybe something didn't sell well at the regular price but would be a huge hit at a lower price, or maybe some models have been discontinued and they need to clear out stock to make room for the new stuff.Read More
As the guitar and drum buyer for Tom Lee Music, it's my job to scour the planet for the best possible deals for you, our customer. Boxing Week is a particularly fun time, as it's one of our biggest sales of the year and we need to have great stuff at great prices.
Great deals can come from anywhere – the big name brands, smaller companies – it doesn't matter as long as the products are interesting and the deals are great. Recently, an interesting opportunity came along that I wasn't expecting. I usually contact our regular suppliers but this time an American distributor contacted me (presumably from one of the contact lists the musical instrument industry produces). I was aware of this company as they have been in business for decades and have an excellent reputation, but for whatever reason we hadn't done business before.Read More

Highway 9 church of Christ
Who we are  What we believe
We are a group of Christians who assemble together on each first day of each week (the LORD's day Revelation 1:10) to commemorate the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God by partaking of the Lord's supper. We do this by example of the inspired apostles and first century Christians (Acts 20:7) and upon the request of Jesus Himself (1 Corinthians 11: 23-26).
And while we are assembled together, we observe the other items of worship as dictated and followed by the Inspired Apostles and the first century Christians. They sang (Colossians 3: 16), so we sing. They prayed (Ephesians 6: 18), and so we pray. They had someone read scripture or preach (Acts 20: 26-27), we also have preaching or scripture reading. And they gave of their means according to their prosperity (1 Corinthians 16: 2), and we do likewise. These are the items of worship to our Lord as given by command, divine example, or necessary inference and we are not so presumptious as to add to or to subtract from those items. Come worship with us and you will see that we make every effort to do all things according to the teaching of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The Highway 9 church of Christ is not a name. It is a descriptive sentence explaining what it is. It simply means it is an independent group of followers of Jesus Christ who have joined no earthly denomination but have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine taught by Jesus and His inspired writers of the New Testament. According to His word, when one has followed the detailed commands concerning what they must do to be forgiven of their sins, they will then be added to His church...by Him (Acts 2: 47) and the joining of some organization founded by man is neither authorized, necessary or beneficial. We also believe that these organizations are cause for divisions among His followers. (I Corinthians 1: 10-13)
We accept the word of God, the Holy Bible, as being true and absolute. We believe that God created the heavens and the earth in six 24 hour days and did so by His spoken word as described in the Genesis account. We believe that the requirements for removal of one's past sins are summed up by obedience of the following commands...not one or two of them, but all.
(1) Hear (learn) the word of God and believe it, and believe that it must be obeyed. (Romans 10: 17, James 2: 17-26, John 14: 23)
(2) Repent (determine to turn from a life of sin to a life of obedience and sacrifice). (Luke 13: 3, Acts 2: 38, 3: 19)
(3) Confess (confess that you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God). (Romans 10: 10, Acts 8: 36-38)
(4) Be Baptized, totally immersed in water following the completion of the above 3 requirements...not as a ritual into some earthly organization, but in obedience to the commandments of Jesus Christ at which time your sins will be forgiven and remembered against you no more. And Jesus will number you among His "called out". (Mark 16: 16, Acts 2: 38, 1 Peter 3: 21), (Acts 2: 47)
At this point one has become a new creature and is cleansed from his old sins. He can, however, sin anew and be lost. The additional requirement is expressed in Revelation 2: 10.
We also reject the unsound Calvinistic doctrines of total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistable grace, perseverence of the saints. Neither of these doctrines are taught in the Holy Bible, and in fact, are contradictory to biblical truths.
We believe that God created all men and granted to each the right of free moral agency. Therefore, we respect the right for any to believe and obey God or to disbelieve and disobey Him. We also believe that He has placed obligation upon His children to proclaim His truths to others and make every peaceable effort to persuade them to accept those truths.
We find the ultra liberal actions presently polluting the gospel of Christ to be abominable. Specifically those items that are unauthorized by the inspired word, i.e. allowing women to preach, teach and otherwise usurp the authority of men, Singing Gospel songs accompanied by instruments, humming, swaying, arm waving, hands clapping and such like. The choirs, the special groups singing, the building of highly expensive and ornate edifices, compromising sermons and doctrines, participation in group activities of those who are in error...all of which constitute apostasy.
We believe that the Holy Spirit, through inspiration of the Apostle Paul, meant the exact words expressed in Colossians 3: 17 "And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him." This forbids any innovations or additions to His instructions for worship. "In the name of" means "by His authority"!
Our only plea to you is to live your life as the New Testament Christians did. They did Bible things in Bible ways. They followed only the word of the Holy Spirit through the inspired Apostles which we now have as the Bible. They obeyed only the Bible which made them into only Christians, not Paul Christians, not Peter Christians, just Christians and if you do nothing today except strictly as the scriptures dictate, it will make YOU a Christian just as it did them. Because your sins will be forgiven and the Lord will add you to His church...His called out. Whose name do you wear? Or what kind of Christian are you? Re-read the paragraph next above this one. By whose authority do you get your religious name?

Chennai: Flaying the Centre for its "lethargic
attitude" in solving interstate water disputes, DMDK on Friday said
instead of convening meeting of Chief Ministers of Tamil Nadu
and Kerala to solve Mullaperiyar dam issue, the Centre should
take steps to increase storage level in the dam from the
present 136 feet to 142 feet as per the Supreme Court order.
Due to the "lethargic attitude" of the Centre, Tamil Nadu
had lost heavily, whether it was Cauvery issue or Mullaperiyar
dam issue, DMDK leader Vijaykant said in a statement here.
"It is the duty of the Centre to implement the Supreme
Court order", he said.
Describing the recent acts of Kerala government as "knee
jerk reaction", he said Kerala government was creating a panic
among the public only to counter any possible order from the
empowered committee appointed by the Supreme Court that the
dam was safe.
Kerala government`s acts would only create enmity between
the people of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. he said.
He said Kerala was not prepared to wait for the order of
the empowered committee headed by justice KS Anand.
