Sleep and fatigue analytics for the elite sports team
Accurately measure sleep, understand its impact on athlete readiness, and view team insights all in one place.
Measure sleep properly, without the electrodes
Originally designed for the military and research community to measure sleep effectively outside of the laboratory, the Readiband is the world's most accurate wrist-worn sleep detection device. And now, it's engineered specifically for elite athletes.
View your team's sleep data all in one place
Know who's sleeping well, and who's not, so you can focus your resources on the athletes that need the most attention.
Monitor athlete sleep patterns
Even good sleepers can go through rough patches due to injuries, stress or environmental factors. By identifying such anomalies early, you can intervene to help prevent recovery and performance shortfalls.
Build a culture that champions sleep
With the player app, your athletes can monitor their recent sleep stats. Use it as an opportunity to check in with them regarding their sleep, and enforce its value as key to their recovery and performance.
Quantify sleep's impact on team readiness
While the Readiband accurately measures sleep, the key to our platform is a fatigue model. Based on sleep quantity, quality and timing, it outputs a dynamic mental effectiveness score. If the score is low, an athlete's reaction time, speed and strength is impaired.
All the features you need to manage fatigue on your team
Flexible grouping means you can generate reports for different sub-groups on your team. For example, rookies, offensive players, or those who are injured.
Data export
Granular team, group or individual sleep and fatigue data can be exported in CSV format for any date range.
Date range control
View sleep data for the whole season, or just the past week, or compare how sleep patterns change between road trips and home stands.
Fatigue modelling
Thanks to 25yrs of applied research (trusted by the US Military and Department of Transportation), our best in class fatigue model generates minute by minute predictive fatigue scores.
Managing fatigue = managing recovery
Sleep is the most important contributor to recovery and injury prevention. If you're not effectively measuring it, you can't manage it.

Fourth suspect arrested, charged with death of Halethorpe man
HALETHORPE, Md. - Police have arrested a woman suspected of killing her boyfriend and dumping his body in Baltimore City.
Renne Delores Evans, 50, is the fourth suspect taken into police custody and charged with the death of Brian Michael Reiser, a 49-year-old Halethorpe resident.
Police issued an arrest warrant for Evans Thursday. Officers credited public assistance for helping detectives locate and arrest her Friday.
RELATED CONTENT: 3 charged after dumping body in vacant home
Reiser was killed in his Halethorpe home last week.
Police arrested and charged three men in connection with his death on June 21. Kevin Brooks Pendergraph, 31, Roy Bernard Munson, 18, and Eric Patrick Henry, 37, were charged with first-degree murder. All three men were held at the Baltimore County Detention Center without the possibility of bail.
Police allege that the suspects left Reiser's body in a vacant home in Baltimore.
From a previous report, a concerned person reported Reiser missing the day before the suspects were arrested after having no contact with the Halethorpe man for several days.
Police believe Reiser was killed after an argument with the suspects in his home.

"Idlewild," aka "The OutKast Project," achieves magic--something sorely missing from so many movies these days--and does so via a philosophy of respect, but not reverence, for what's come before it; it never recycles, it just reimagines. Pic should not only lure its target fan base but achieve crossover success as well.
"Idlewild," aka "The OutKast Project," achieves magic–something sorely missing from so many movies these days–and does so via a philosophy of respect, but not reverence, for what's come before it; it never recycles, it just reimagines. With its two platinum-selling pop stars, propulsive musicality and a something-for-everyone approach leading to a huge payoff, pic should not only lure its target fan base but achieve crossover success as well.Fashioning his musical fable like a Warner Bros. Prohibition drama in which production numbers erupt at the local nightclub, writer-director Bryan Barber has absorbed all the gangster tropes, along with a healthy dose of Coen brothers' irrationality, "Cotton Comes to Harlem" comedy and Terry Gilliam-style animation. Andre 3000 and Big Boi — aka Andre Benjamin and Antwan A. Patton — mount musical numbers that are incongruous, but only to a point: Given the sense of enchantment with which Barber sets up his film — with the playful manipulation of archival photos, notation dancing across pages of music, a talking whiskey flask and various effects-driven visual pranks — he has created a universe in which rap, swing, Ma Rainey-style blues (as performed by Macy Gray) and special effects might very well co-congregate in a place like Church, the Georgia speakeasy where so much of "Idlewild" unfolds. Percival (Benjamin) and Rooster (Patton) are childhood friends who seem destined to go into their fathers' businesses — in Percival's case, undertaking; in Rooster's, bootlegging. But between mortuary duties, Percival plays piano at Church, which is owned by the unpleasant Sunshine Ace (Faizon Love) until he, and the gangster Spats (Ving Rhames), are ventilated by the even more unpleasant Trumpy (Terrence Howard). Trumpy — more evidence that Howard is among the best actors working — is a sociopathic free-lance thug who puts the squeeze on Rooster, once Rooster has inherited the club. In between juggling women, deceiving his wife (Malinda Williams) and performing his own explosive numbers at the nightclub, Rooster has to make money and keep from getting killed. Barber's background in musicvideo — including his genre-blending work with OutKast — is obvious, both in his acrobatic camera and his leisurely approach to the actual narrative. A story really doesn't start until about 30 minutes into the film, but there's so much going on, few will complain. Once Barber jump-starts the narrative — which includes an ill-fated romance between Percival and show-biz hopeful Angel Davenport (Paula Patton) — it follows a rather predictable path. What keeps "Idlewild" from idling is the ornamentation — music, manipulation of image and stylistic unpredictability. Barber is in total control. From the staccato gestures of figures over the opening moments, to the way dance girls move like silent movie characters in old, mistimed "flickers" to the stammer of one of Trumpy's henchmen, Barber infuses his film with a sense of rhythm — and this is in addition to the music itself. "Idlewild" may not succeed entirely in terms of story structure, dramatic motivation or acting (both Benjamin and Patton are good, although Patton is the one the camera loves). But it has such ineffable charm and pure entertainment value, it's hard to imagine auds going only once.

Danny Trejo Invades Predators
Danny Trejo is a badass. Theres no other way to describe him. Look at the dudes sweet stache, his awesome tats, and his amazing long hair. If I described any other man, you would think he was a pansy, but a pansy Danny Trejo is not. And with Machete having just wrapped, his badass level is sure to rise within the next year.
And if that isnt enough to convince you, apparently hell also have a role in Robert Rodriguez and Nimrod Antals Predators. In an interview with Punch Drunk Critics, Trejo seemed to let the cat out of the bag with little reserve. Maybe he was so caught up in his own badassness that he forgot that an announcement had yet to be made. He doesnt give any detail as to the role hell be playing, but one can imagine that it will be badass.
,br> According to Trejo, filming on Predators will begin in about a month. As for Sin City 2, things arent looking any better. Trejo says that the movie is currently in the thought process. I guess not everything Danny Trejo says is badass.

I have a Super-D race coming up in about 3 weeks and I need to find some new rubber. I'm going to press the XTS Moto into race service for this one event (the Blinside is just not suited for it).
I have a perfectly fine pair of 2.35 High Rollers on it now, which would be perfect; but figure I better get some sponsor rubber on for an actual race. The course is at an Idaho ski resort, so it's going to be a mix of hard-pack-with-marbles decomposed granite fireroads punctuated by dry, blown-out bike park single track.
Here are the options I'm looking at:
- Nevegal 2.35 wire bead/Stick-E
- Blue Groove 2.35 wire/Stick-E
- El Moco2.35 wire/Stick-E
I was considering just going with Small Block Eights but I don't think there's enough knob there for the loose stuff. And I want something that will roll a bit faster than Excavators will. I don't need that much knob. Thoughts?

Visit Strict Spanking
There was a time when spanking was commonly seen as the proper way to rectify a wayward individual. In these modern times, it appears that some people see things quite differently. At the time of this review, spanking is illegal in close to 24 countries. Some people just don't understand what they're missing out on. Thankfully, there's nothing wrong with hand-to-ass discipline on Strict Spanking, which serves just as well as a guide as it does a source of entertainment.
The disruptive and the rude have much to fear on StrictSpanking. Lenience and mercy are words that lack meaning here. Those responsible for meting out the "conditioning" are quite the stern lot. Plus, the disciplinarians here are British. There's just something special about hearing some chick get reamed by an ol' English gentleman or Ma'am.
Oh, and you are going to have fun hearing these little troublemakers yelp. The 85 movies are as crystal clear as the stern lessons being taught. Both the streaming and download options give viewers great shots of these faces as they wince beautifully, as well as capturing all the redness in the ass like it's meant to be done. You can download it all in a good-quality Windows Media format, although most of the scenes come as clips.
There's only one problem with the 27 picture sets and that's the fact that there aren't enough of them. With this kind of spanking fun you need abundance, or at least enough to match the videos for quantity. The women are just so beautiful and seeing a perfectly shaped ass becoming red as a strawberry will only leave you wanting more. The photo sets can be downloaded in Zip files and they are full of high-res images for you to savor.
There aren't any bonus sites, but you will have access to a forum and there is a bonus section that has a few extra videos and photo sets. Spanking fans will definitely be able to appreciate what Strict Spanking has on the table and it offers more on a weekly basis. This site is worth considering, especially given the reasonable price.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.

Solving Nonlinear Dispersive Equations in Dimension Two by the Method of Inverse Scattering
Seminar Room 2, Newton Institute Gatehouse
AbstractThe Davey-Stewartson II equation and the Novikov-Veselov equations are nonlinear dispersive equations in two dimensions, respectively describing the motion of surface waves in shallow water and geometrical optics in nonlinear media. Both are integrable by the $\overline{\partial}$-method of inverse scattering, and may be considered respective analogues of the cubic nonlinear Schrodinger equation and the KdV equation in one dimension. We will prove global well-posedness for the defocussing DS II equation in the space $H^{1,1}(R^2)$ consisting of $L^2$ functions with $\nabla u$ and $(1+|\, \cdot \,|) u(\, \cdot \, )$ square-integrable. Using the same scattering and inverse scattering maps, we will also show that the inverse scattering method yields global, smooth solutions of the Novikov-Veselov equation for initial data of conductivity type, solving an open problem posed recently by Lassas, Mueller, Siltanen, and Stahel.

I am completely smitten with this lip balm! I absolutely adore Cardamom, so I formulated this with lots of Cardamom for the true Cardamom lover. Not only does this lip balm contain pure certified organic Cardamom essential oil, but I also infused the Sunflower oil with organic Cardamom seeds. This lip balm is for anyone who adores this spice as much as I do - it's rich, decadent, and completely infused with Cardamom!
An extremely rich, creamy, conditioning, and smooth lip balm made with natural, organic, and fair trade ingredients. This gentle and soothing blend is handcrafted in small batches with pure botanical and herbal elements. Contains luxurious, healing, and nourishing ingredients which offer protection from the harsh elements while providing beneficial vitamins and minerals.
Ingredients: organic Sunflower Seed Oil infused with organic Cardamom seeds, organic unrefined virgin Coconut Oil, organic and fair trade certified Cocoa Butter, pure Beeswax from U.S. honeybees, organic Cardamom Essential Oil, and Vitamin E Oil (from non-GMO sources).
This listing is for a .15 oz oval shaped tube of lip balm.

Sunset Evaluation of Barbering and Beauty Culture
Report No. 01-02
During the 1999 legislative session, the Legislature found that deregulating professions and vocations where appropriate could reduce government bureaucracy and red tape. Consequently, Act 254, Session Laws of Hawaii 1999, directed the Auditor to conduct a sunset review of the regulation of barbering and beauty culture. The Auditor is required to report on whether regulation of these professions should be continued or repealed, and if continued, whether it would be more efficient and cost-effective to regulate barbering and beauty culture through a regulatory board, the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, or some other agency or mechanism.
Barbers cut, trim, shampoo, and style hair. Beauty culturists, also known as cosmetologists, primarily shampoo, cut, and style hair, but also perform a number of other services. Many beauty culturists offer specialized services and work exclusively on hair, nails, or skin. A growing number also actively sell cosmetic products and supplies.
Currently, all 50 states regulate beauty culture, also known as cosmetology, and require licensure while 49 of 50 states regulate barbering and require licensure. Barbering has been regulated in Hawaii since 1947 and beauty culture since 1929. As of July 2000, there were over 6,700 licensed practitioners, shops, and schools in Hawaii. In addition, a total of 202 apprentice permits and 600 temporary permits have been issued.
Since 1980, we have conducted two sunset evaluation reviews of barbering and three of beauty culture. In all five reports, we recommended against the continuation of the statutes under which the two occupations are regulated (Chapter 438 and Chapter 439, HRS). We found that regulation of the practices of barbering and beauty culture under these chapters was not warranted as the two practices posed little danger to the public. Potential dangers to public welfare were found to be outside the purview of these two chapters and could be more appropriately addressed by other state and federal laws and agencies.
We found that little has changed since we last evaluated these occupations over ten years ago. The practices of barbering and beauty culture pose a minimal risk to the public's health, safety, or welfare. Locally and nationally, there is little evidence of abuses by barbers and beauty culturists. Furthermore, protection from the potential harm posed by these two occupations exists within the purview of other state and federal agencies' regulations. For example, the state Department of Health regulates the sanitation of barber shops and beauty parlors while the federal Food and Drug Administration regulates cosmetic products.
In addition, other incentives exist for practitioners to prevent harm to consumer health, safety, and welfare. These incentives relate to the impact on insurance cost and availability, the potential for liability lawsuits, and practitioners' word-of-mouth reputation.
Finally, we found that regulation of barbering and beauty culture reduces the number of individuals able to provide services and thereby limits consumer choice. Relatively high failure rates for barbering and beauty culture examinations indicate that these examinations are barriers to entry into the occupations. As a result, consumers face a reduction in the selection and quality of services, while facing higher costs for those services.
Recommendation and Response
We recommended that Chapters 438 and 439, HRS, be repealed.
In its response, the Board of Barbering and Cosmetology noted strong disagreement with our recommendation. The board feels that repeal of Chapters 438 and 439 would open the door to fraud, incompetence, and public distrust in barbers and cosmetologists. The board also noted its belief that repeal would undermine the safeguards administered by the state Departments of Education and Health and the federal Food and Drug Administration. The Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs did not submit a response.

While deep, this draft is also dangerous
The junkies with syringes loaded with stopwatches and measuring tapes, and the football swamis with crystal balls are calling this the deepest NFL draft in years. But if you're floating near the top of the pool, beware of creatures difficult to identify.
This is a very dangerous draft.
Not so much for the Chargers, who are scheduled to pick 25th overall Thursday night in the draft's first round (although I wouldn't count on them staying there). But for teams swimming at the surface, caution should be exercised.
Players such as quarterback Johnny Manziel and outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney are talented mysteries without denouement. There are others. No one's a can't miss. If you whiff up high, it could affect the health of your organization for years.
The League has pushed the draft back two weeks into May -- there's a strong possibility next year it could be moved closer to June -- and the longer the wait, the longer football people have to study prospects until their eyes hemorrhage into their laptops.
"Initially, I wasn't in favor of it," Chargers General Manager Tom Telesco says, "but they make the rules and we follow it. It has allowed us to get some extra information on some people."
But the more athletes are studied, zits that weren't there while the youngsters were playing college ball suddenly appear. And some that didn't particularly have good seasons but great Combines and pro days shoot up draft boards.
You know how it is. The longer you look at something, the better or worse it gets.
And that only could add to the danger.
"There are some times you look up there and all you see are the negatives for each player," Telesco admits.
Used to be the draft was held much earlier in the year, which wasn't good for the unprepared, but good for guys like Al Davis, whose Raiders always were under the radar but far above the curve. Moving it back helped level the war rooms a bit.
"Sometimes there's too much information," Telesco says. "It's a huge group of people. We all know what we're looking for, which is half the battle sometimes."
As an example, linebacker Manti Te'o had his "problems" prior to last year's draft. Telesco took him in the second round, but Manti required extra studying; the kind of work the club should have done prior to taking Ryan Leaf. Te'o was by far the most famous player in the draft, so the Chargers also had to consider how to handle his national baggage.
"A very talented player with character issues can mean a lot more work to do," Telesco says. "These guys are all college kids, and mistakes are made."
It seems Clowney is the most highly regarded talent in the draft and Manziel the top quarterback. But some football men see Clowney turning it off at South Carolina last year and wonder about his work ethic. Manziel has no such problems. He had a brilliant career at Texas A&M against top competition. But he's a shade under 6 feet and people wonder if his scattergun style will work in the NFL _ unless he goes to the right team.
This leads some to say the Texans should go for Buffalo outside linebacker Kahlil Mack. Why? He's good and the safe pick. But should he be No. 1 overall?
The Chargers need help at corner, nose tackle, receiver, pass rusher and offensive line. They will have choices, but without the drama.
"We don't rank needs," Telesco says. "I think you lose focus."
He's right. I think he may trade the pick and move down.

Last Friday, on the eve of my darling Maxence's 25th birthday, I took him out to dinner. Usually, I know exactly where I want to take him, and like to make the location a surprise. Last year was easy : I had heard great reviews about a restaurant called "Le Maxence", where the chef was the talented David Van Laer. It fit the bill perfectly and we had a lovely evening with wonderful food.
But this year, for some reason, I was very irresolute about it. There were about twelve different restaurants I wanted to try, but couldn't decide which one I liked the most or, more importantly, which one Maxence would like the most. I spent a week agonizing over this, researching reviews, changing my mind every few hours, and actually making four (yes, four!) different reservations, three of which I ended up canceling, with apologies and as much notice as my indecisiveness allowed. The good thing is that I now have a fully qualified list of the top-twelve Parisian restaurants I want to go to!
When the whirlwind of doubt ended and the dust settled, the winner turned out to be Aux Lyonnais. This is a restaurant in the 2nd arrondissement, close to the Bourse (the Paris stock exchange). It is over a century old : first opened in 1892, it has been operating non-stop ever since, serving dishes typical to the French city of Lyon. Even more interesting is that this place was bought out, renovated and revamped just two years ago by no other than national hero Alain Ducasse. His brilliant idea was to take this somewhat declining old-fashioned restaurant and turn it into a sophisticated version of itself, lightening and sprucing up the traditional menu.
I set my heart on it because I know Maxence is partial to authentic historical settings, and has a weekness for charcuterie and down-to-earth popular dishes : he is known to eat pied de porc, oreille de cochon or croustillant de tête de veau without batting an eyelash, so I thought Aux Lyonnais would cater to this penchant. I gamingly kept the exact address a secret until the very last moment, narrowing it down only when absolutely necessary, to the general area, then to the street, and even then I arranged to meet him at another street corner. You would think I was trying to cover my tracks from mafia thugs or something.
The décor really kept its promise : the façade is bright red and antique, with engraved plaques, statues and frescoes. Inside, behind the heavy velvet drapes, they have also kept the original decoration, with black and white tiling on the floor, majestic mirrors on the walls, intricate moldings on the high ceiling, and a quite dramatic dark mahogany staircase with brass railings, leading upstairs to the petit salon, where customers can wait for their table in large club armchairs, sipping on a drink.
Our table, set on a red and white dish towel in place of the table cloth, was close to the window, and I switched places with Maxence so he would be the one with the view on the beautiful room – I mean, who's birthday was it? We ordered champagne, and our waiter brought us a plate of cervelle de canut. Literally "silkweaver's brain" (the weaving of silk was the traditional industry of Lyon) this is a delicious specialty of herbed garlic fromage blanc, served with fingers of toasted rustic bread. A waitress also brought a little cloth tote filled with excellent bread, which she attached to the special hook at the side of our table. A very creative tabletop-space saver!
We toasted to the happy occasion, and studied the daily menu. Our waiter came to describe the dishes that needed clarification, and we placed our order. Then came a young and friendly sommelier. Of course we wanted to drink a Côte-du-Rhône, from the region of Lyon, and Maxence had spotted two Crozes-Hermitage that looked good. We asked the sommelier for advice, and he suggested the 2001 Yann Chave Tête de cuvée with so much sparkly-eyed enthusiasm that we were happy to go along with his choice. He brought it, uncorked it, had us taste it, and it was indeed delicious, complex and full-bodied. Interestingly enough, the smell reminded me immediately of kefir, the yogurt-like fermented milk I love so much. If the sommelier found this a little odd, he was too well-trained to show it!
As a first course, Maxence had ordered the Pot de la Cuisinière Lyonnaise (the Lyonnaise Cook's Jar). Described on the menu as a "charpie de jarret de porcelet, mêlé de foie gras", this was pig's shin meat, defatted, shredded and mixed with foie gras. It was beautifully served in a verrine (one of those small ball jars with the rubber banded lid), along with toasted slices of bread and a small ramekin of creamed lentils. A true delight. I went for the Sabodet, Poireaux à la Vigneronne : two slices of a pig's head sausage, served in a cast iron gratin dish with "ears", and accompanied by four pieces of tender leeks, cooked in a red wine reduction (hence the naming : "vigneron" means winemaker), and sprinkled with herbs and miniature croutons. The sausage and the leeks, slightly sweet, were both delicious and responded well to each other.
Breaking the Golden Restaurant Rule, we had ordered the same main dish, the Quenelle de Brochet et Ecrevisses (Pike Quenelle Dumplings and Crayfish), following the original recipe elaborated in 1892 by Lucien Tendret, a famous French lawyer and gastronome. This was first brought to us somewhat too soon, we felt as if we had just barely swallowed the last bite of our first courses. We asked if they could keep it warm for us, and they were perfect about it, taking the dishes away with no comment and bringing them back in a seemingly identical condition a little while later, when we were ready to appreciate them fully. And we did. My adoration for quenelles is not unlike the one I have for boudin blanc, and I have them whenever I see them on a menu, but these were really something. Served in the same light brown gratin dishes as my sabodet, each of us got two plump and tender quenelles, surrounded with peeled crayfish and cooked in a luscious creamy crayfish sauce, which lent itself beautifully to shameless bread-dipping.
At this point, obviously, we were both pretty sated, and I almost lost Maxence to the cause of dessert. But I was not going to give up that easily, and I managed to convince the birthday boy to follow me right along. Breaking the Platinum Restaurant Rule, we also ordered the same dessert (but if you can't break a couple of rules on your 25th birthday, I don't know when's a good time), the Ile Flottante aux Pralines Roses et Tarte aux Pralines. How can you resist a dessert where you actually get two? An île flottante is (literally) an island of egg whites, sweetened, beaten stiff and baked, floating in crème anglaise (custard). Pralines roses (pink pralines) are sugar coated almonds with a pink coloring, which can be eaten as candy on their own, or used to flavor other confections, like brioches (Brioche aux Pralines Roses). This was a memorable dessert : a puffy and aerial île flottante in a glass dessert cup, studded with delightful crunchy bits of crushed pralines and floating, swanlike, in the fresh vanilla custard. Next to it on the plate lay a small slice of tarte, reminiscent of American pecan pie, sweet and sticky with a pleasant hint of praline bitterness. We slowly worked our way through this perfectly matched duo, alternating spoonfuls of one and the other.
This was a great birthday dinner and I can't recommend Aux Lyonnais enough : it draws a feeling of comfortable familiarity from the brasserie setting, the service is professional without being stuffy, and the food, based on hearty unpretentious dishes, is high-quality and elaborate.

A long time coming for the man KD,
Now he can finally be called MVP.
An emotional presser, thanking the team,
Glistening on his cheeks, the tears they streamed.
Russ, Serge Ibaka, even Perkins cracked a smile,
Nothing seemed forced; that's just KD's style.
Thirty-two points, is what he averaged a night,
Lighting up the scoreboard with numbers so bright.
MVP and give him that scoring title too
Now winning a title's all he has to do.
This year it'll be tough, down one-oh to the Clips,
Home advantage has, already been flipped.
But the Thunder can turn it around; they got KD.
Congrats, Mr. Durant, you're the MVP.

Okay, I admit it. I can't resist this shit. I'm Pavlov's dog and the gods of thrash just rang the fucking dinner bell. You can be as sick of retro throwback bands as you want, you can say we don't need a band like MERCILESS DEATH around when we have the original 80's classics to jam, you can say MUNICIPAL WASTE write better songs and CROSS EXAMINATION is funnier, and you know what? I can't hear you, because I've just sprouted a thick, wiry Mexi-mullet with cheap Sony headphones permanently fused to it, and blasting my eardrums into trebly, off-the-rails oblivion is this rancid slice of 1980's thrash metal so goddamned authentic, it ought to come with a free painter's cap with the MERCILESS DEATH logo badly stenciled onto the bottom of the brim.Basically, these three burnouts have no interest in anything but thrash metal, the good, the bad, and the ugly of it. They single out "people with the Reeboks High-Tops that shouldn't have them" for special entry in their "much hate" list in the liner notes. The singer mimics Steve "Zetro" Souza to the point where you can almost hear him eating too many doughnuts so he can run out of breath at just the right moments. And Jesus H., will you just feast your eyes on that Ed Repka cover? A band that commissions that artwork, in the year 2007, and causes it to be, can really do no wrong. And open the CD booklet. Go on, open it. You know what you're going to find. That's right. A fucking photo collage, complete with a pasted-in Judge Dredd. It shouldn't even have to be said that the music enclosed herein is utterly without subtlety, breathing room, or the influence of anything newer than the Iran-Contra scandal. The thing is, as much of this shit as there is out there, MERCILESS DEATH may be the flat-out best at pulling it off. They're not "thrash-influenced," they're not hardcore kids making fun of the DARK ANGEL albums they found at a flea market… they are a fucking thrash metal band from the mid-1980s. It's as if they're trying to will themselves back in time by the sheer power of downpicking, vaguely out-of-tune soloing and redolent leathers with a cutoff denim jacket on top (festooned with a RAZOR back patch, of course). Basically, you could throw "Haunting the Chapel", "Bonded By Blood" and "We Have Arrived" into a blender, liquefy, and pour over a raging circle pit, and you'd have the experience of listening to this record. Yeah, you're thinking, but a 9? Look — this band does one thing. They don't profess to do anything but that one thing. And they do that one thing better than you do any thing. They dish out blistering solos, polka beats, savage riffs, cranky snarling vocals, and in-your-face bloody thrash metal attitude, and they never let up until you either get into it or go join the poseurs in the bathroom, still looking at their hair. The best part about MERCILESS DEATH is that you know — you know — that if no one on earth gave a rat fuck about them or what they were doing, these three dudes would still be sporting HOLY TERROR buttons on their denims, and still wearing high-tops, and still sitting around each others' apartments headbanging and getting drunk and, more than likely, starting destructive and ludicrous three-man mosh pits in their living rooms. MERCILESS DEATH is thrash metal to the core of their being. End of fucking story. Go buy this.

Quick Update; ExpressionEngine Struggles
I haven't posted on this blog for a long time, mostly because we've kept ourselves quite busy hunting for, then buying and renovating a house in Concón, Chile. After 5 months of remodeling, we finally moved in last month and we're very happy to have made that choice which satisfies both our heads – we're convinced it's a great investment over the long run – and heart – outstanding direct view on the ocean, lots of space, our kids love it. There's easily two or three years of additional work ahead to get our dream home out of it (and home office – did I mention we're across the street from the Pacific ocean?) but we're starting to be nicely settled already.
On the web publishing tech front, we've been working with ExpressionEngine for a bit more than a year. We like it for the most part, but still have several unresolved issues: Read More

You should know that any attempt at weather modification, regardless of method, requires that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration be notified in writing ten days in advance of any such operations and there is a $10,000 fine for failure to notify them.
In addition, some states have laws requiring a permit and insurance coverage for any weather modification operations, again, regardless of what method may be used, and those states impose significant fines on unlicensed operators. It is doubtful that your apparent good intentions would be considered reason to acquit in a court of law.
In view of such realities, it might be advisable to refrain from public announcements of such illegal activities.

Jet Airways is likely to sign a term sheet and announce a 24 per cent stake sale to Abu Dhabis Etihad Airways on Friday, sources said. The deal, once concluded, would be the first instance of foreign direct investment in a domestic carrier by an overseas airline firm since the sector was opened up in September 2012.
The deal is likely to happen in two tranches wherein there will be a direct sale of shares in the first tranche and then a second tranche will see issue of fresh equity and warrants, a person familiar with the development said.
Post the deal, Naresh Goyal will continue to be promoter and chairman but the board will be expanded to include some nominees of Etihad, the person said. FE

What's the strangest place you've ever biked, or the weirdest thing you've seen biking?
I'm thinking of taking a weird weekend trip to the Janesville Wisconsin area and biking around....have a look at Miracle the White Buffalo, Rock Lake with its mysterious sunken pyramids, and after dark, see if I have the nerve to pedal down Bray Road in Elkhorn, where, in the late 90's, there were several sightings of an aggressive, wolfman-like creature.
Any bizarre stories to tell? Pedalled the crop circle tour? Seen strange and inexplicable sights? Been abducted by aliens while cycling? :D

Besides that part of the light spectrum between blue and yellow, "green" has many diverse meanings. For example, one less fortunate might be "green with envy," where one with payments due might need to "make some green," and one who plays golf might be "on the green in one" – though highly unlikely. But no meaning of "green" could be more important than its most recent application: "green products." No, that does not mean their color or their level of maturity. It means that they are environmentally-friendly.
Over the past decade, there has been a growing trend toward designing and building with green products. In fact, some of the larger design firms have received green-design requests from many of their corporate clients. According to author Susan E. Haberle, companies like Starbucks, Nike, Guess and Donna Karan have already completed design projects utilizing green products. Haberle's article on the American Society of Interior Designers website states that these internationally-established corporations have chosen bamboo as the green product for their floors. But big business is not the only driving force behind the green trend.
Every day, more and more retail consumers are jumping on the conservation bandwagon. They are demanding homebuilding and remodeling products that are not only aesthetically pleasing, durable and safe, but also made from materials that will not unbalance the ecosystem. Thus, as with the companies already mentioned, bamboo flooring has become the consumers' green alternative to hardwood.
In order for a product to qualify as green, it must have certain characteristics, and bamboo flooring qualifies with more than one. But certainly its most important characteristic is that it is resource efficient. Bamboo is a sustainable material – and rapidly so. It replenishes itself up to twenty times faster than some hardwood trees, repeatedly sprouting from the same plant to maturity in just 4 to 6 years.
Another green characteristic of bamboo is its durability. Species harvested for flooring are actually harder than Red Oak and Hard Maple, and that means reduced maintenance and replacement costs. Additionally, because bamboo grows in tropical climates, it is naturally resistant to moisture and thus to stains. It is also less likely to gap, cup, or warp because of its laminated construction.
With all these positive attributes and green characteristics, it is no wonder that bamboo flooring has become such a hot, growing trend – one with no end in sight.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Police say the bound bodies of two people have been recovered from a Philadelphia river and a third man who said he managed to free himself is being treated at a hospital for stab wounds.
Chief Inspector Scott Small says officers were called to the Schuylkill River in Fairmount Park just before 4 a.m. Wednesday where the two bodies were found floating in the river.
He said a 20-year-old man found with stab wounds said he had been abducted in a different part of the city and thrown into a van where the other two victims were already present.
The man told investigators that he was robbed, stabbed and bound before all were thrown in the river, where he managed to free himself and climb out of the water.

When my marriage imploded and my then-husband and I sat in the couples therapist's office trying to make sense of what had happened, I remember a moment when he looked at me angrily and complained about how I had to have the pillows placed a certain way on the bed.
Pillows? We were spending $125 an hour to talk about pillows when we had so many more pressing things to talk about, like, oh, infidelity and booze?
Not only did I realize that our therapist wasn't very good — she was the first of three we eventually had — but I also saw that the daily annoyances of living with someone can add up to a lot of anger and resentment. Double or triple that if you have kids.
And that's what's at the heart of "Mad at Dad [0]" — an article by Martha Brockenbrough in the January issue of Parenting that has touched a nerve. Based on a survey of more than 1,000 mothers, the article details just how pissed off so many wives are at their husbands.
What are they angry about? Writes Brockenbrough: "We spend more mental energy on the details of parenting. We're mad that having children has turned our lives upside down much more than theirs. We're mad that these guys, who can manage businesses or keep track of thousands of pieces of sports trivia, can be clueless when it comes to what our kids are eating and what supplies they need for school. And more than anything else, we're mad that they get more time to themselves than we do."
As a once married stay-at-home mom and now a divorced full-time working mom, I have a different perspective of those pissed-off moms' complaints.
Not to say that their complaints aren't valid — I had a few of those same complaints myself in my marriage, and obviously, so did my ex! But if they feel like they don't have an equal partner when they actually have a partner, they might want to project what it's like to not have a partner, period. Not surprisingly, many divorced women are still mad — at their exes — and now also taking care of everything, even the tasks their hubbies did "inadequately," by themselves. Sure, you get to call the shots and have everything your way, but you're also poorer and a lot more exhausted, mentally and physically.
Except for time off — and that's one of the biggest issues, according to the article, angering more than 60 percent of moms weekly and many daily. But perhaps without even realizing it, Brockenbrough answers the dilemma — "Moms tend not to let themselves slack off when there are chores to be done" — and the poor dads evidently are getting blamed for that. To which I ask, why? Instead of getting angry at their husbands for being able to walk away and use their off time to reenergize or entertain themselves, shouldn't the moms do the same thing?
It's a lesson I've learned since my divorce, but one I wish I learned while I was still married; making time for yourself, and letting go of what happens when you're not around. It wouldn't have salvaged my marriage — there were much bigger issues going on — but I would have been a much happier woman. I have learned how to "slack off."
Not too long ago, a married mom of two kids told me how she, like many married moms, secretly envy the free time divorced moms have. I get it; because I share 50 percent custody with my former husband, my kids live with their dad every other week. In the beginning, I didn't know what to do with all that free time — I wasn't used to it. And I worried about my kids when they were with their dad: would they eat right, sleep enough, have clean clothes, do their homework? (The answer is, yes, although his household looks and lives differently than mine.)
But that time off has become one of the blessings of my divorce, time that I devote to whatever I want to do with no apologies. If the husbands of the pissed-off moms appear to be able to do that, the wives should encourage them to continue — why deny them what makes them happy? — and then do the same for themselves.
And the wives should also appreciate their husbands for being different instead of wishing they were "more like us." They aren't, they're never going to be and perhaps shouldn't be, so instead we women should figure out how we're going to work with them.
It seems like a cliché to say that those pissed-off moms need to communicate their needs to their husbands, in a kind and loving way, but being angry accomplishes nothing — except putting them on a fast track to divorce court.
Ultimately, we all have to decide if our relationships are more important than all the niggling things our partners do that annoy us.
And, you know, nowadays I often don't even make my bed, let alone put the pillows on it.

Chesapeake rises on McClendon's departure
Chesapeake shares rise on CEO departure
Chesapeake Energy Corp. shares jumped 5 percent to a Friday close of $20.33 per share last week after the announcement that CEO Aubrey McClendon is leaving the company on April 1.
Mr. McClendon is likely to depart with $45 million in total compensation.
Mr. McClendon had been criticized for borrowing hundreds of millions of dollars from businesses that made deals with Chesapeake.
The company said it expects to release the results of an investigation into Mr. McClendon's financial dealings later this month.
The charismatic and outspoken Mr. McClendon was previously stripped of his title as chairman of the Oklahoma City-based company he founded.
The company is highly leveraged, with $16 billion in long-term debt, and was stung by falling natural gas prices and unusual financial arrangements.
Chesapeake is the nation's second-largest natural gas producer after Exxon and is both a major holder of mineral rights and a key natural gas exploration company throughout the Marcellus Shale region of Pennsylvania.

If this is true, it's certainly interesting.
Brad Pitt, in an interview with Esquire Magazine last week, revealed that he most likely suffers from a strange condition called prosopagnosia, more commonly referred to as Face Blindness. Meaning, he has extreme trouble recalling or placing the faces of many of those he crosses paths with. As Pitt put it:
So many people hate me because they think I'm disrespecting them. So I swear to God, I took one year where I just said, this year, I'm just going to cop to it and say to people, 'Okay, where did we meet?' But it just got worse. People were more offended. Every now and then, someone will give me context, and I'll say, 'Thank you for helping me.' But I piss more people off. You get this thing, like, 'You're being egotistical. You're being conceited.' But it's a mystery to me, man. I can't grasp a face and yet I come from such a design/aesthetic point of view. I am going to get it tested.
Honestly, I have never read Brad Pitt to be an egotistical guy, even considering that he's one of the biggest stars on the planet. He also seems very astute, leading me to believe that this could be a real condition plaguing him. According to research from Discovery, scientist have had their attention drawn to this "Face Blindness" as of late, concluding through research that, in a way similar to a learning disability such as dyslexia, strange wiring in the brain can render one with this condition. In some extreme cases, people affected might not even recall their own face. In turn, it can also grant someone the reverse ability to hyper-recognize faces.
It was cool of Pitt to open up about this, in any case. Hopefully this is something he can eventually overcome or learn to cope with.

An unidentified man walked into the Fuel Warehouse on Glenburnie Road early Friday morning and robbed the store, getting away with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Sgt. Paul Brown of the New Bern Police Department said no one was hurt during the incident. The robbery was reported to police at 5:23 a.m., he said.
�It looks like a single male came into the store,� Brown said. �He had on a black coat, jeans and something covering his face. He produced a handgun and demanded money.�
Brown said the robber then fled on foot from the Fuel Warehouse.
Judy Bowen, manager of the Fuel Warehouse, said only the clerk was in the store at the time of the robbery. She could not say anything else because of the pending investigation, she said.
Police were still at the Fuel Warehouse at about 9 a.m. conducting the investigation.
