The Department of Economics at University College London (UCL) and the Department of Economics, Mathematics and Statistics (EMS) at Birkbeck provide exceptionally strong and complementary expertise in the field of economics and finance, and have been centrally involved in the operation of the UCL and Bloomsbury DTCs.
Students should apply independently to programmes at UCL and at Birkbeck. Applications will be scrutinised within the two institutions prior to agreement on joint evaluation.
Birkbeck and UCL have a long-established practice of collaborating in PhD training through their Bloomsbury PhD programme, and aim to strengthen these links over the lifetime of the DTP, increasing the range of advanced training modules available to students of both institutions. Contributors from both institutions to teaching on the training pathways have backgrounds in economics, econometrics, statistics, mathematics and computational methods. Hence the Economics pathway will be able to provide substantial training to students in other pathways and groupings, such as Economic and Social History, Education, Health and Wellbeing, Interdisciplinary Area Studies, International Development, Politics, Psychology, Quantitative Social Science, and Social and Policy Studies of Energy and Environment. There is substantial scope for co-supervision, both within the pathway and with International Development, Psychology, and Quantitative Social Science. Birkbeck also has longstanding collaborative arrangements for advanced doctoral training with other London Colleges.
The Economics pathway offers three routes, all of which aim to provide research training at the international frontier, enabling graduates to conduct research of high academic merit and to make original contributions to the subject. All three routes are available in both 1+3 and +3 structures which formed part of provision within the UCL and Bloomsbury DTCs. The 1+3 Economics route at UCL provides core training through the MRes Economics, a highly structured programme with research training comparable to top-10 US economics departments. Entering students are required to hold an MSc in economics with substantial training in economic theory and methods, at a level equivalent to the UCL MSc in Economics/Economic Policy. The programme then provides substantial further subject-specific training in theory and methods, and does so for both full-time and part-time students. At Birkbeck, students on the 1+3 routes in Economics/Financial Economics and Finance/Mathematical Finance are trained in their first year through the MScs in Economics or Financial Economics; and Finance, Financial Engineering or Financial Risk Management respectively.

Judicial review proceedings place the decision-making of public bodies under intense scrutiny. It is important they have appropriate advice and representation, ensuring such challenges are responded to effectively.
Judicial reviews are the route through which challenges are made to the decisions of public bodies. They are an important constitutional check on the exercise of power, and are triggered by increases in public awareness of rights and private bodies protecting commercial interests.
Public bodies (including private bodies carrying out public functions) need to understand their duties and powers and be robust in their decision-making so they are ready to defend these challenges.
We have the breadth of expertise to advise clients on the complexities of judicial reviews and ensure that practical and commercial issues are taken into account.
Our expert lawyers understand the policy, regulatory and commercial context in which our clients operate, whether for education or healthcare clients, arms'-length bodies, central or local government.

For the last few months, we have been concentrated on Federal income tax issues. Given the time of year, we figured that's what might interest you. Now that we are a bit past April 15, though, we wanted to leave income taxes behind a moment and talk about other taxes, specifically sales and use taxes.
Most of us concentrate on the income tax side of things when we think of "taxes." After all, that's what we see come out of our paychecks. Then, there are those "love letters" we call tax returns that we send to the government every year.
Of course income taxes seem to be the big-ticket item to most of us, but not necessarily to state and local governments. With the exception of four states, sales taxes make up a significant part of our states' revenues, averaging 20.3% in 2002 according to the Tax Foundation. In the states that have a sales tax, but no individual income tax, sales & use taxes make up greater than 50% of state revenues, except for Wyoming (40.7%). The reason is simple, not everybody pays income taxes, but everyone has to eat and somewhere or sometime, you will have to pay sales tax on food and other purchases you make at your local store. And don't think that you save a fortune in sales tax if you buy everything on the Internet. In most states, you still owe tax, but instead of calling it a sales tax, the state calls it a "use tax." The problem for the states right now is there is no effective way to police the collection of use tax, or lack thereof, on Internet purchases.
Sales tax - The tax charged and collected on purchases of taxable items at the time of purchase.
Use tax - The tax charged on purchases from an out of jurisdiction source and imported for use into another jurisdiction. Internet purchases are the perfect example. Suppose you purchase a book from Amazon.com for $10. Amazon will charge you for the book and shipping (possibly), but not necessarily for sales tax. If you bought the same book at Barnes & Noble down the street and your sales tax rate was 10%, you would pay sales tax of $1. Theoretically, you should, in many states, send $1 in use tax to the state where you received the book. Before you jump up and down and kick the screen, we said theoretically because many states have no mechanism to collect the tax and even if they did, most people still don't pay it.
Nexus - A presence in a state sufficient to require a business to collect sales tax from customers. Generally, that means a company must have more than just sales into a state. Factors such as the presence of inventory (warehouse) or employees are typically two other major factors.
Point of delivery - The place where the customer actually takes receipt of a product. For example, if you buy a mattress in Texas, but have it delivered to your house, where is the point of delivery and what tax should you pay? More than likely, if the mattress is shipped by common carrier or a store's own truck, the delivery point is your house, if that is where it is received. You would pay taxes based on the rate where you live. If you take your pickup truck to the store and get the mattress, then you pay tax based on the rate where the store is located. This can offer a substantial tax savings in some instances.
With these in mind, let's look at what businesses and individuals need to know.
Sales taxes for individuals are generally cut and dried. If you purchase something that is taxable, the seller collects the tax. What you should do, however, is be certain you know what state law says about taxable and nontaxable items as well as what constitutes a sale. Prescription drugs may be tax-exempt in one state, but taxable in another. Even within a state, one city may tax prescription drugs and another may not levy taxes on prescription drugs. What happens if you have an old television and sell it to Fred down the street for $10.00; are you required to collect tax? It is highly improbable you would be required to collect any tax on the sale since you are not in the business of television sales. The same is true if Fred was the seller; so don't let him collect sales tax from you.
If you are involved in charitable organizations that have carnivals, bake sales or any other fundraisers that revolve around a product, be sure you check the laws. In many cases, non-profit organizations don't have to collect sales taxes where they are the sponsors, but do if the sale is made by a for-profit entity and the charity's cut is a minor share. These rules will be different from state to state. If you will have to collect sales tax, you can factor that into the price of the product.
Businesses have the same considerations as individuals, plus a few more. The thing is, though, that businesses are much more likely to be visited by a sales tax auditor than an individual is. The revenue recovered per dollar spent from auditing an individual doesn't justify auditing the individual just for sales or use tax purposes. On the other hand, businesses, particularly retailers and those who purchase substantial amounts out of state can be lucrative indeed.
For example, one jurisdiction became very interested in services offered by CPAs and began auditing firms. In particular, the auditors really wanted to know if the firms sold off the shelf software, which is taxable in the state, rather than billing only for professional services, which are tax-exempt. The problem was even if the software sales were not present; there were many other items subject to use tax on which no tax was paid.
Businesses, particularly manufacturers, also have to precisely define their product and it's components. In many states, items bought for resale are free from tax to the purchaser with the idea that the tax is really due from the ultimate consumer. Sometimes, the purchaser is required to pay the tax to the seller and show it as a credit on a sales tax return and sometimes, if the purchaser has a tax-exemption number, the tax doesn't even have to be charged by the seller. A key distinction for manufacturers in many states will be whether the purchase is considered raw materials for the manufacturer's product. For example, suppose you are a baker and you make cookies. Naturally, the sugar that goes into the cookies is part of the final product. Now let's say you make a special kind of cookie and in order to get the sugar and your "secret ingredient" to bind and make that special flavor, you have to use vinegar as a catalyst, but when all is said and done, the vinegar is used up in the chemical reaction. Since the vinegar is not in the final product and was used like any other "supply" item, taxes must be paid on the vinegar.
We mentioned nexus a bit earlier. If you are selling into one or more states, you need to review what will cause you to have nexus for sales tax collection purposes within the states where you sell. If you are required to collect tax and you do not, you could wind up paying huge penalties in addition to paying the taxes owed and the interest thereon. This could literally put some companies out of business.
We have only scratched the surface of the sales tax jungle and believe us, it is a jungle. Luckily, there is a moratorium on new taxes to be levied on Internet sales while states seek to work out a cooperative agreement on the collection of Internet taxes. This still leaves a lot of room for businesses and individuals to make a costly mistake through ignorance of applicable laws. If your business is involved in multi-state operations, it may be to your advantage to undertake a sales tax study to determine your exposure. Businesses, as well as individuals, can also go to the state revenue departments' web sites to learn more about taxes in states where they have an interest.
If you are concerned about your potential exposure for sales taxes, give us a call and we can discuss the best alternatives to quantify any exposure be it personal or corporate.

The good thing about cheap plastic pots is that you can easily turn them into great DIY gifts or into nice decor items for your home or garden. Here are few ideas on how to decoupage a flower pot and make hanging flower pot out of simple and cheap plastic pot.
On your right you see the kind of cheap plastic flower pot I used for this project. It cost me $0.7 a piece. On the left you see, how it got transformed by being decoupaged.
Some plastic is tricky for decoupage, as both paint and polish have hard time sticking to it. So, you have to start by working with sandpaper on the pot first. You may also put a layer of glue and let it try up well and only then start repainting the pot or decoupaging it.
I put a layer of white water based paint on the pot. Even though it did not change the pot color, it helped the napkin pattern to stick better to it. Let the paint dry well.
Cut out your napkin patterns and try to position them well on your pot. Sometimes I get so anxious to decorate that I do not do the positioning on a dry pot. It's an easy way to let things go wrong. When you try them on a dry pot, you can always change your mind and pattern, too.
I use transparent polish for my decoupage projects. I apply the polish sparingly on the pot surface. Then I glue the napkin pattern, get rid bubbles with a soft brush and only then put more polish to soak the napkin well.
5. Cover up the entire pot with the polish and let it dry well.
If you just leave the napkin pattern on, the decoupaged flower pot would look like some child's craft piece. To make it look better, you should color it. I use the same white paint as for the base. Only I add various tints and colors to it. Experiment. Place a small amount of white paint into a small bowl and start adding colors to it until you get the desired tint.
Then you may apply the paint to your decoupaged flower pot with a brush, but I prefer using either plastic foam or a piece of napkin. You dip it into the paint and make gentle strokes on your pot. It adds an airy touch of color to it.
Now, how do you turn a simple plastic pot like that into a hanging one?
It's pretty easy. First, I made the holes in the pot. I used a nail and pliers for this purpose. You take the nail with the pliers and heat it up. I simply stuck it into the gas stove. Once it heats up enough, you easily prick the holes in the plastic. Only make sure to use pliers with the plastic handles. The iron ones would heat up and burn your fingers.
Then I decoupaged the flower pot and put the ropes thru the holes in it. I also used a decoupaged old CD as a pot holder. I have also made holes with a hot nail in it and attached it with the same blue rope to the decoupaged flower pot.
That's my step by step DIY decoupage tutorial for flower pots. I hope you find it useful. Comments are welcomed.

Reading your blog makes me want to decoupage half the things in my house! You do a beautiful job! And I now have more recipes to try (Although, my waffle maker is nothing compared to yours, lol). I'm so glad you stopped by blog (Diy Nerd) so that I could sneak behind you and follow you back to yours! I'm inspired to see what I can do too! Thank-you!

Have you seen enough pumpkin spiced food related items yet? It isn't even fall and people have already indulged in several pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin spice yogurts and all the things pumpkin. I know I have already jumped on the bandwagon with the delicious Chobani flip.
Today I bring you just one more thing pumpkin - pumpkin spiced broiled grapefruit. If you haven't noticed yet, I am a huge fan of minimal ingredients. You can find tons of 3 ingredient dishes by browsing the blog.
I have been a grapefruit lover for a long time. I remember eating grapefruit as a kid at my grandparent's kitchen table. There are a lot of potential health benefits to eating grapefruit and they are a good source of vitamin C. Some of these benefits include hydration, healthy skin, digestion and many more. Go stock up and enjoy yourself some seasonly spiced, warm grapefruits - perfect for fall.
Use a drizzle of honey and a dash of pumpkin spice seasoning then broil in the oven for 5 minutes and you will have a tasty snack. I like to use a grapefruit knife to slice the grapefruit in half then cut away from the membrane on each section.
I have heard that a lot of people are not fans of grapefruit because some can have a very bitter taste. In fact, my husband has never really be fond of grapefruit. I would suggest giving these a try anyways. You can make them as sweet as you'd like by adding however much honey you want.
Click to tweet: Say what?! Pumpkin spiced broiled grapefruit. Yum!
Have you ever had broiled grapefruit?
They are so very good!! A healthy addiction.
I totally would've never thought to pair pumpkin spice and grapefruit! What a delish combo!
Broiled grapefruit is so yummy :) great idea for spicing!
Seriously, it's the best! I used to only use honey and cinnamon, but it's pumpkin season and that's my favorite combination of spices.
OMG. I have never tried broiled grapefruit, but it looks to die for! Especially with those pumpkin spices...Oh. Em. Gee!!!!
YES - pumpkin spice is my everything. :) Plus with the cooler temperature, it's always nice to have something warm like the broiled grapefruit.

Q: Cant delete item in table With Ruby on rails Im trying to delete an item from a table i generate using a scaffold. I done some research and seen this is a common issue with windows machines where instead of deleting the item it just gets it. This is my destroy method in the controller
 def destroy
    @measurment.destroy
    respond_to do |format|
      format.js
      format.html { redirect_to measurments_url, notice: "Measurment was successfully destroyed." }
      format.json { head :no_content }
    end
  end

This is the fix that I tried below. I added remote: true and class: "delete" to the destroy link in the index page
<%= link_to 'Destroy', measurment, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?', remote: true }, class: "delete" %>

I then added jquery using yarn add jquery and added //= require jquery
//= require rails-ujs to the application.js file. Lastly i created a file in the measurements folder called destroy.js.erb. This contained :
$('.delete').bind('ajax:success', function(){
    $(this).closest('tr').fadeOut();
});

After all that i still cant delete items from the table. Any help would be greatly appreciated

A: Using Button_to instead of link_to works

A: If you're using Server-generated JavaScript Responses (SJR) you want to perform the actions directly instead of adding an event handler:
<%= link_to 'Destroy', measurment, method: :delete, data: { confirm: 'Are you sure?', remote: true }, class: "delete", id: "measurment-#{measurment.id}" %>

$("#measurment-<%= @meaurement.id %>").closest('tr')
                                     .fadeOut();

The way that SJR works is that the return javascript is popped into a script tag and executed immediately after the request is completed. However this code has absolutely no idea about which element fired the orginal event so you have to get hacky and unique ids.
If you instead send a JSON request you can write a lot better javascript and not make your server responible for altering the page.
<%= link_to 'Destroy', measurment, method: :delete,
            data: {
              confirm: 'Are you sure?',
              remote: true,
              type: 'json'
            }, class: "delete" %>

// place this code in your packs or the assets pipeline
$(document).on('ajax:success', '.delete', function(){
  $(this).closest('tr').fadeOut();
});

Ride Report - March 9, 2013 - Home Patch Ride Report - By Yvette
Well, this Saturday's ride was definitely special and one to be remembered! The group was small this time, Dina, Ingrid, Frances, Yvette, John, Ilan, Sasha and Uri. We headed out north westwards towards Kfar Nachman. From there we quickly reached the "Har Hazevel" and were gently persuaded to ascend. Smoke was seen from the back wheel of Ilan's new epic carbon bike as he raced to the top and we all enjoyed the stunning view of the Sharon while regaining our breath. We rapidly descended and bearing west we rode through the fields coming out by the railway lines. Continuing northwards parallel to the railway lines we quickly came to the crossing before Kibbutz Yakum. We continued on only to find our way blocked by an enormous puddle, causing us to return and cross under the bridge. We stayed close to the lines, passed the puddle, crossed back over and continued up the hill towards Tel Yitzhak. We arrived at the bridge and found 3 cyclists, one lying on his back and feeling rather the worse for wear. After assisting him with refreshments and instructions to ride no further we carried onto towards Udim. Passing through the beginning of a "trance party" we declined to stay and headed down our usual path only to come across an un-crossable "lake". Even the horse on the other side declined to cross. We headed back and found an alternative route, through Udim we then stopped for the loo and a quick glance at the horses and the MGA sports car. Heading on, we soon came to Si café where we were met by Ted for well-earned refreshments. It was here that Frances whipped out a packet of chocolate biscuits and surprised us all by calmly announcing that after 12 years she and Jules had finally tied the knot! She told us the story of how they went to Cyprus back in January and were married. Those of you that missed this will have to ask her to repeat the story. Congratulations to the both of you, Frances and Jules, we are now waiting for the garden party! From here we continued homewards towards Raanana, having enjoyed 35km of pleasant company, good riding weather and a wonderful home patch ride. I am now adjusting to my new safire bike (a fact that was previously omitted).
We all wish David and Ingrid mazal tov on the birth of their newest grandson in Australia, Benjamin Max. Hurry home David, you are missed by us all. A speedy recovery to Rafi for his cycling injury, sustained on the Friday ride with Gaby and we hope to have Ted rejoin us on the next ride whose absence has also been felt on the recent rides.
Ride Report - March 8, 2013 - Special South Ride Report - By John
Last Friday, Gabi organised a ride down South and here is his report:
On Friday March 8th, 6 of us braved the very early morning hours and set off for Zeelim. Having arrived in Reim within 1 hour, we left one car there, piled into the other two and continued to Zeelim, where the ride began.
Right at the start we missed the regular entrance to the path, and fell on top of a long section of difficult, winding and in some places quite dangerous single track. Later we found out it was the "etgari" section, and there exists also a regular one paralleling it. Having survived it, some riding and some by walking part of the sections, we arrived at the famous "Ropes Bridge" - "Gesher Hachavalim" where we walked across and back, just for the fun of it. From there the path was very clearly marked all the way to the destination, some 34 kms from the beginning.
In spite of a quite dramatic and acrobatic fall which one of the riders took, and which transformed his appearance to resemble a battle-injured pirate, we continued relentlessly onward and all 6 made it in one piece to Reim. From there 3 drivers took the left-behind car, drove to Zeelim and returned with all 3 cars to Reim. Logistically speaking, it was a bit of an operation. But well worth it...
As to the track: it is every lunapark-lover's wet dream. The path runs more or less alongside the Bsor river, and is a narrow single-track in 95% of its length. Although there exists a more conventional 4x4 path running more or less in parallel. There is an endless sequence of downs and ups, twists and turns, and all of it is flowing, no rocks or sandy sections to interrupt the continuous motion. We could not hope for anything better. The Negev is still lush with vegetation, including patches of poppies (kalaniot) although they are obviously tired already. The path is hard and not sandy, the landscape is vintage Negev, and every turn is beautifully marked by directional arrows pointing the way.
All in all, it was a remarkable ride, although it was definitely not easy and also quite tiring. I would rate it medium in physical difficulty and medium technically. Not something resembling our customary Saturday morning rides. But for lovers of the adventure, it is a magical route. I plan to do it again in two weeks.

The route was one that we have done many times so I wont bore you with a description save to say that we had great weather and that the Black Irises are now in bloom and if you visit the Sharon Coast Nature reserve within the next week or so you will have an opportunity of seeing this very rare flower. The area of the nature reserve is one of the few places in the world that this flower grows.
The photos of the ride show the flowers and you can also get an idea of the scenery in the area of our ride.

Ride Report - Sat. Feb. 23, 2013 - Home Patch Ride Report - By John
The weather forecast for the ride was "Rain and strong winds". At 5.55am I looked out the window and there was no rain or wind although the sky did look threatening and 5 minutes before I left, the rain started. Five minutes later, however, it stopped and I rode to the meeting point in perfect cycling weather where I met eleven other stalwarts and off we went on a route that we had traveled many times before. There were a few new views on this oft traveled route, namely some little and some bigger lakes that had not been there a few weeks ago. (see the photos). On a few occasions we had to backtrack due to pools and mud that not even I was prepared to try and cross. On our return trip, a strong headwind came up making the last few kilometres of the ride a lot more difficult than the first three quarters. Eventually we ended back at "Central Café" at the Ra'anana Park. Good food and good service brought another +/-34 kilometre ride to a happy end.
Arugot (in the South) 9 February 2013
Ride Report - Feb. 9th, 2013 - Arugot - The Ride and The History - By Adrian
Another of those delightful Cyclenix rides on Saturday 9 February
Drove in convoy along the coastal road, passed Ashdod, turning before Kiryat Malachi into Arugot (garden beds), an agricultural settlement established in 1949 by immigrants from Poland and Romania, containing an ancient Chalcolithic and Early Bronze Age settlement Tel et Turmus.
Our 12 riders ride headed eastwards, seeing evidence of the recent saturating rains. We rode though peach groves in full pink and also in white blossom, the rich half-meter high wheat fields, alfalfa, humus and grape vines. The hilly area included olive trees reminding us of pastural Tuscany here our own Israel.
Through a muddy tunnel under the railway line to Be'er Sheva and highway #6 to a hill, the highest in the area, commanding a superb view of the coastal towns of Ashkelon, Ashdod, including Rehovot, Kiryat Malachi, Be'er Tuvia and Kiryat Gat. Also we could observe the kibbutzim/moshavim/kibbutzim of Kfar Menachem (Ussishkin) Gal-on, Yinon, Beit Nir, Luzit, Nahalah, Kedma and Timorim.
The ride was not for the timid, as most of the first 11 kilometers was uphill to the observation hill near Tel Zafit, then a enjoyable downhill sweep back to Arugot, totaling 30 kilometers. Our two relatively new female members were real contestants, never complaining and completing the ride - well done ladies.
The ride ended at the home of Tami and Eyal, daughter and son-in-law of Ted and Dina Silverman, who prepared coffee, tea, light drinks, and various cakes for all of us. Thank you very much for the hospitality, and to Eyal for his superb steermanship during the ride.
The History of this immediate region - Biblical
The ancient overland trade route from the Mediterranean to Mesopotamia passes through this area (not parallel and close to the sea as it is too sandy and swampy). The modern highway #6 follows this route.
The Philistine town of Gat "The Philistines assembled their camps for war...(they) were standing on the mountain on one side and Israel was standing on the other side, and the valley was between them. Goliath of Gat, his height six cubits and one span. He had a copper helmet on his head, and was wearing armor of mail; the weight of the armor was five thousand shekels. He had a copper shield on his legs and a copper neck-guard between his shoulders. The shaft of his spear was like a weaver beam and the blade of his spear weigh six hundred iron shekels." (I Samuel 17:1-7).
Tel Zafit (Blanchegarde), a Crusader administrative center is constructed in 1142 by King Fulk to control the road from Ashkelon to Ramle. The fortress is captured by Salah a-Din in 1187, recaptured by the Crusaders in 1192, to be captured again and destroyed by the Mamluks in 1244 who also capture Ashkelon in 1247.
War of Independence.
The Egyptian Army is unhindered by the British before they leave Palestine in 1948, invades Israel from Gaza heading along the coast . The Egyptians are defeated at Asdor (Ashdod- Ad-Halom) and at Jerusalem where they were stopped at Ramat Rachel. The Egyptian Army withdraws to the Faluga Salient in the modern Kiryat Gat-Ashkelon area.
In 'Operation Death to the Invader' the Negev Brigade cuts through Egyptian lines, surround Majdal (Ashkelon), creating a corridor, isolating the Faluga Salient and Beit Guvrin from the sea.
At Gal-on the IDF uses one of the two tanks in its possession, stolen from the British. The tank moves forwards towards the Egyptian lines, breaking down after only about 100 meters. The brigade was called armored for moral reasons, although in reality it only had a single tank company (later in the war, two companies), and a single APC company (these companies became the brigade's armored battalion), and an assault battalion composed of jeeps.
Before the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 this area was barren scrub, with very limited developed agriculture as the annual rainfall is only about 200mm a year. New Development towns are established at Kiryat Malachi and Kiryat Gat (steel, HiTech-Intel, etc), together with many kibbutzim and moshavim.
The construction of Highway #6 has encouraged regional economic development and subsequent resident construction in this area. Be'er Tuvia, a 1st Immigration village from 1887, attacked during the Arab riots in 1929, abandoned, reestablished in 1930, together with all the villages in this area has grown enormously in the passed decade, boasting many industrial zones creating job opportunities.
Home (After the Rains) Patch - 2 February 2013
Ride Report - Feb. 2, 2013 - Home Patch Ride Report - By Frances
Not quite Singin' in the rain....
Twelve stalwarts gathered to set off under what looked like threatening black clouds. Luckily for us, they dissipated and it turned out to be a great cycling day. Lots of cyclists were out and about, all trying to avoid too much water and mud. We were led along with a few muddy dead ends - can't fault us for trying....
We whizzed through Gan Rachel to the Herzelia park and on to the Herzeliya beachfront. From there we headed back through Ramat Hasharon. On the way we saw the blue sea and some wild waves and the best, a car half submerged in water. Now how do you explain that to your wife/husband/mother/father??
We stopped off at a cafe in Ramat Hashron where we fueled our tanks - very good coffee and accompaniments. We headed off home having cycled some 34 km in good company, as always.
What a glorious feelin'
I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds
So dark up above
(from Singin in the Rain)

Ride Report - Jan. 26, 2013 - Carmel Coast - By Adrian Wolff
There was an expression used in England "Join the army and see the world". In our case "Join Cyclenix and see Israel". Cycling is faster than walking.
The Cyclenix home trials are always fun as the vegetation changes with the season as our expert tracker David Lewis can always find a new trail. The 'Away Rides' take us around the country to smell the soil, breath fresh air, bounce along sandy or rocky trails and above all have fun, with the happy, cheerful, friendly and helpful riders.
Saturday 26 January was one of those wonderful winter days. Bright blue sky, with little wind combing a perfect cycling temperature of around 20 degrees. The heavy rains from the previous fortnight left a few puddles just awaiting one of Cyclenix technically experienced rider's to explore with alacrity its depth and muddy floor.
We began at Ein Carmel, a kibbutz founded in 1947 which to today has banana plantations, hot houses growing peppers, B+B facilities and developed a residential area for young families to acquire a smallish house and garden at a reasonable price. We rode passed an ancient reservoir carved into a sand-stone mound, able to provide water for the fields in the Carmel Plain from the coast to the Carmel mountains.
Moshav Habonim, founded in 1948 by South African members of the Habonim Youth Movement boasts a Crusader Fortress constructed over Arab ruins to defend the norther approach to the port at Dor and perhaps the coastal road. Ruins of the walls and towers are easily seen both from the #2 highway and of course by us the cyclists entering the settlement.
Here too, a residential area had been constructed affording a magnificent view of the fields and Mediterranean Sea. Just think of siting like King Herod did 2000 years ago in his royal place at Caesarea drinking wine as the sun sets over the Mediterranean Sea!!! (obviously after a cycle ride and not as a intermediary pit-stop).
Our route then passed many fish ponds where Israel farms fresh water fish, and incidentally in this area also sea-water fish in cages out in the sea.
We approached Nachsholim from the north-east, suddenly entering the crescent-shaped beach, one of the finest in the country. There are four small-rocky islands off-shore forming a lagoon. Nachsholim is founded in 1948 on the abandoned village of Tantura. The kibbutz has clean B+B facilities looking over the beach, agricultural land (bananas), a factory producing plastic netting and rope.
This area previous is the site of Baron de Rothschild's glass factory, managed by Meir Dizengoff, the future first mayor of Tel Aviv. The purpose of the glass factory was to produce glass wine bottles of the infant winery in Zichron Ya'akov. Unfortunately the color of the local sand is not suitable to market wine and the facility closed after a few years. The kibbutz also houses a Nautical Museum, displaying the items found from nautical archaeology. It is here that Napoleon's army fled after their defeat in Acre, and disease at Stella Maris (Haifa), to French naval vessels off the coast. Many of these unfortunate soldiers dropped their weapons in the sea as they feared the extra weigh would cause then to drown - just waiting for the modern day scuba diver to have an exciting find, recovering stone anchors, cannons, rifles, daggers, and swords.
Dor is mentioned in ancient Egyptian papyrus and later during the Biblical Period. Joshua conquers "the districts of Dor in the west " (Joshua 11:2). Over the cliff on the norther side is the site of the ancient Phoenician port of Dor or Dora, a Greek port, later to be conquered by the Hashmonean king, Alexander Yannai. "The whole sea-board from Dora to Joppa, midway between which the city lies was without a harbor, so that vessels bound for Egypt... had to ride at anchor in the open when menaced by the south-west wind." (Josephus Flavius).
We could see evidence of the jetty and part of the town that has been excavated under the auspices of the Israel Antiquities Authority. Remains include the ancient port and jetty, burial caves, Hellenic temple, Purple Dye making complex (from the local murex sea snail), Roman theater (northern bay), Byzantine church with paved mosaics, a Crusader fortress, city wall and a mosque. Today it is a Nature Reserve.
Our return journey was ever so pleasant riding along the beach, astride rich green wheat fields with many poppies waving as we rode passed. It was very worthwhile for all the 17 participants.
Just wait, its Be'eri famous for the expanse of natural poppies in the north-west Negev in a few weeks time.
Home (Sand) Patch 19 January 2013
Ride Report - Sat. Jan. 19, 2013 - The Longest Day - By Ted
So what took us so long to finish a "routine" home patch ride? In my previous life as an executive I was required to analyze occasionally how I spent my time in an average day so I conducted a time analyses on what were the extras on this particular ride
Sand 40%
Extended Lunch for 15 or so persons 20% (40 different orders of coffee types did not add to the "fast food" image of Si). Cold, hot, skimmed, no froth, espresso, longo, latte, paper cap, small, ceramic,( phew, I'm out of breath recalling)
Ingride's archeological expedition 5%
Just enjoying the conditions 12%
Miscellaneous 3%
There was always a miscellaneous in my career analyses so as not to break the habit I included one for yesterdays Longest Day ride.
Dina's route (she discovered this and must be held accountable) is one that challenges the imagination. We routinely avoid it on the grounds (more than a grain of sand in that) it is sandy. The myth is that after rains it is ride-able but it is only a myth and in fact is never ride-able. David's small detour to avoid the sand was proof that the myth is nothing but myth. All variations to Dina's route sink into the sandy wastes.
As for the ride it was nevertheless thoroughly enjoyable as we dressed, undressed, dressed, undressed and so forth. The sun was sunny when it shone and the sky cloudy in between(what else could it be?). The green was green and the blue was blue. The damage caused by the storm was evident but more so at Ga'ash where a lake has suddenly appeared. But seriously folks, it was fun, albeit long!!!!!!!!! And even the political discussion was entertaining. Another perfect ride. As for the time it took Dina correctly remarked "what's the hurry". Who indeed cares if it took a little longer.
Home (Mud) Patch 12 January 2013
Ride Report - - Mud... glorious mud... - By Frances
Six of us gathered to cycle in the welcome sunshine after all the wild weather we have been experiencing. The NINNIES stayed at home and missed a water- and mud-filled day! Some of the excuses: sick (naaah!), swollen fingers and visiting son in the army (come ON! ) and the best, lock on the shed jammed and couldn't get the bike out (yea - and the dog ate my homework!!).
The first evidence of the devastation the heavy rain caused was a huge donga (ditch for those not from the southern hemisphere) as we started our ride. We had to make a muddy detour in the pardesim - see the results of the glue-like mud on our bikes and shoes. We trundled along, spraying mud as we went. It made me think of the chorus of the Flanders and Swann Hippopotamus song:
Mud, mud, glorious mud
Nothing quite like it for cooling the blood
So follow me follow, down to the hollow
And there let me wallow in glorious mud
We did resist and tried to avoid more mud by going on the road. Rafi was disappointed as he just came to play in the mud puddles... We turned back onto the gravel, only to discover that there was a river to cross. John thought we should all become Mudskippers and bounce along the mud and water. They are rather like walking fish, but we managed to resist that too.
We made our way, mostly by road, to the gas station where Ted, having arisen from his sick bed came to join us. His vintage car attracted a lot of attention. I tried to drape myself over the car but no offers came my way (or his), so I guess the next Tel Aviv car show is not waiting for me to help sell!
We rode about 25 km in perfect weather with good company as usual.
Home Patch - 5 January 2013
Ride Report - Sat. Jan 5, 2013 - Home Patch Ride Report - By John
As the weatherman had predicted, it was raining when I woke up, but I promised myself (and others) that I would ride so, up I got and all dressed up in my cycling gear (including my rain suit) off I set to the meeting point where I was met by Megan we were joined by Ilan. Yvette, Rafi and Frederic. That was it. All the other regulars had chickened out or were away or had other "plans".
The route we did was one that we have done many times. There is no doubt about it that the scenery in winter is far prettier than in the hotter seasons. We came across numerous "temporary" lakes and pools that had attracted various species of water birds. We had our fair share of rain and mud. On the trip home Rafi and I separated from the other four who, when they were near |Ra'anana had to cross a "river" and then found themselves "fenced off" but with the help of Frederic the bikes were lifted over the fence and they then scaled the fence ( see the photos) and met up with me and Rafi and we all headed for home having covered 34+ kilometres. Another really enjoyable ride with great company was under our belts!

ARIK LEVIN
Family: Father of 3 children and a devoted grandfather of 7 grandchildren (+ 1 in the near future).
Education: Technion Haifa, Faculty of Industrial & Management Engineering.
Work Experiences: A wide variety of work places and activities which included implementation of salary incentive methods, systems improvement, as well as project management, factory construction, logistics and the purchaser for electronic companies etc. For the last 30 years until my retirement I served as Vice President Operations in a large and well known data communications company.
Hobbies: A few ? which I enjoyed for a short while only - a self-defense course, wind surfing, sailing an 420 sailing dinghy, horse riding, Jeep driving.
Others - which I constantly enjoy - reading (especially subjects on meditation, fiction, thrillers, adventures), participating in many different kinds of lectures (Bible research, leaders and people who have influenced world history, globalization, linguistic changes in the Hebrew language, subjects relating to cinematography etc.) walking Israel trails (including the Shvil Israel), traveling abroad and, as (you may have guessed!)....cycling in Israel and abroad.
As I am still quite young, I hope to add a few more hobbies in the future!!
BASIC MOUNTAIN BIKE ETIQUETTE
ARRIVE ON TIME - Your time is no more important than anyone else's. Check the night before for air in the tires and that all is in proper working order.
RIDE PACE - This usually determines itself depending upon who and how many are riding. A smaller group is almost always quicker, while larger rides tend to be more relaxed and chatty – accept this reality!
KEEPING UP - Try to keep up with the pace of the group – it makes for a more enjoyable ride for everyone. If there is consensus that the pace is too fast, tell the leader!
NOBODY GETS LOST - Make sure that there is someone behind you who sees your riding direction. If not, wait until someone sees you before you continue… that person behind you will do the same. If everyone in the group does this, nobody gets lost and the group does not have to stop as a whole. We need to have space between riders – it is acceptable that the group is spread out, as long as you have sight contact with the rider in front of you.
YIELD – YIELD – YIELD - Always keep to the right unless you are passing. If you want to pass, make sure they are aware of your intention. Never change "lanes" before making sure you are clear to do so – sudden moves with no warning can cause an accident.
If you have to dismount due to sand, mud, a technically difficult uphill, etc., pull off the path, so as not to impede the momentum of the riders behind you.
Always yield to pedestrians, hikers, horses (all are unpredictable!).
If a rider approaches from the opposite direction and there is no room to safely pass, be prepared to pull off the path and stop.
The rider going uphill ALWAYS has right of way.
Restricted Line of Sight? Slow down, increase your awareness and be ready to stop. If you are coming to a blind curve, ring your bell or yell "BEEP, BEEP".
STAY TOGETHER –If you head up to the front of the ride or pulling away from the group always wait at the next junction for everyone to catch up. If you need to head back to the carpark, phone the leader, or at very least make sure you ask someone in the group to tell the leader.
TECHNICAL SECTIONS – Always wait until there is a safe distance between you and the rider in front before beginning a technical section. If you end up behind a slower rider don't ride too close behind, it only increases the pressure on that rider and can cause an accident. Hang back and give both of you space to enjoy the trail until you can overtake safely.
On a section that you would prefer not to ride, walk well clear of the track.
BE PREPARED - Ride with spare inners and/or puncture kits, tools, pump and basic first aid kit. Always wear a helmet, sunglasses, sunscreen, have plenty of water and some snacks. Do NOT wear earphones when riding – hearing what is happening around you is important.
RIDE SAFELY AND HELP OTHERS TO DO THE SAME

This almost slipped my attention today even if I glanced at the website no less than a dozen times earlier today. The "Android KITKAT 4.4 — The future of confectionery" reminds me of Jony Ive unveiling Apple's newest products and that's a good thing. I suggest you just watch as the Chief Break Officer breaks down Android 4.4 and the future of confectionery. This website is very well done and while I can't help but laugh at the idea of Google partnering up with a candy bar and how silly it all sounds, they're doing it with a lot of flair. In fact, they've got way more than 15 pieces of flair.
I lol haha. I can't wait to see the next iPhone with the revolutionary gold core processor. GALAXY NOTE 3 FTW!
You know that kitkat left chocolate all over his fingers when they were recording that.
Now i want a kit kat.
Always happy to see Android marching forward, but to announce a new version six weeks after one has just been released seems like a little much. Was it really that important to release 4.3 since they obviously knew 4.4 was so close?
I realize that, but it still seems to me that they could have just waited & rolled all the changes into one.
obviously they care about their consumers, 4.4 seems like a bigger change because of the implementation of SELinux.. this isnt apple, they dont wait to make money off of one thing, either way no other phone besides the nexus will have 4.4 at first.
Not sure I fully understand your comment. It's not like Google or Apple make money off of updates specifically.
kitkat is the worlds worst candy bar!
i thought i remember apple hating on screen sizes they didn't offer….7″ tablet is too small…5″ phone is too big…or was that steve jobs?
