Bruce Turgon (25 April 1952) is an American bass guitarist, guitarist, vocalist, songwriter and producer who has played in several bands throughout his career, including Foreigner, The Lou Gramm Band, Shadow King, Steve Stevens, Warrior, Black Sheep and Showcase.
Turgon was born and raised in North Chili, New York, a suburb of Rochester, and near the hometown of future bandmate, singer Lou Gramm. A multi-instrumentalist, Turgon started playing in elementary school, and, after high school, became a member of Showcase, competing in the same market as the Gramm-fronted band Poor Heart. In late 1971, he and Gramm started the band Black Sheep, which built a regional following over the next two years. In 1974, the Gramm-Turgon written EP Stick Around was released on Chrysalis, which later led the group to be signed to Capitol. The band released two albums in 1974, and was poised for major success when a vehicle accident in 1975 damaged their equipment, which led to Black Sheep losing the support act slot for Kiss that year. Turgon then left New York for Los Angeles, eventually writing, recording and touring with artists like Billy Thorpe, Nick Gilder, Prism and Warrior as well as performing around the Los Angeles area with his own bands. In 1987, Turgon co-wrote the song "My Way" along with Paul Stanley and Desmond Child for the platinum Kiss album Crazy Nights.
The Lou Gramm Band[edit]
Eventually, Turgon's long association with his friend Gramm led to the writing and recording of Gramm's first solo album Ready or Not, yielding the hit single, "Midnight Blue". The album charted at number 27 in the United States. The single "Midnight Blue" was number one on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks. Eventually a second solo album, Long Hard Look was released, that included the top ten hit "Just Between You and Me" and "True Blue Love", and reached the Top 40. Also contributed, was a song to the soundtrack for the horror film The Lost Boys (1987), titled "Lost in the Shadows". In 2003, Gramm attempted to rejuvenate his solo career with a band that included Turgon on bass, Rocket Richotte on guitar, Kevin Neal on drums, John Purdell on keyboards (who suddenly died very early during the tour), and Gary Corbett on keyboards. Following the death of Gramm's father and mother, this initial lineup decided it best to take different paths.
Steve Stevens Atomic Playboys[edit]
In between the recording of Gramm's second album, Long Hard Look and its subsequent tour, Turgon also toured with Steve Stevens in support of his solo album Atomic Playboys (1989). The band featured Steve Stevens on guitar, Perry McCarty on vocals (formerly in Warrior with Turgon), Gregg Gerson on drums, Phil Ashley on keyboards, and Turgon on bass guitar. The album was Steve Stevens first solo recording and featured the music video "Atomic Playboys" in which Turgon performed (playing bass).
Shadow King[edit]
In 1991, Turgon and Gramm formed the short-lived band Shadow King, along with guitarist Vivian Campbell (Dio, Whitesnake, Riverdogs and Def Leppard) and drummer Kevin Valentine (Godz, The Lou Gramm Band, Kiss, and Neverland). They released a self-titled album in 1991 and contributed one song ("One Dream") to the film Highlander II: The Quickening (starring Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert). Turgon co-wrote nine of the ten tracks on the debut album, as well as handling multiple instrument, arrangement and programming duties. The video "I Want You" received some play on MTV, and although plans were made for a tour, they performed only once, at the Astoria Theatre in London, England, on December 13, 1991. Shortly afterward, Vivian Campbell announced he was leaving Shadow King to join Def Leppard. Although replacements were considered, the band members eventually went their separate ways. Lou Gramm performed the Bad Company classic "Can't Get Enough" on stage with former bandmate Vivian Campbell and Def Leppard when their Adrenalize tour made a stop Gramm's hometown of Rochester, New York.
Foreigner era[edit]
In 1992, when Gramm rejoined Foreigner, Turgon was hired for the bass position now vacated by the departing Rick Wills. Bringing new energy to the band, three new songs were recorded for the compilation, The Very Best ... and Beyond. These songs included "Soul Doctor", "Prisoner of Love" and "With Heaven on Our Side". Foreigner then released their eighth studio album, Mr. Moonlight in 1995, with several songs co-written by Turgon, including the single "Until the End of Time". Several tours followed that reestablished Foreigner back into the classic rock spotlight, and once again proved the band to be a successful touring act.
Projects and solo efforts[edit]
Over the last ten years, Turgon has become increasingly involved in television, movie and documentary soundtrack work, contributing to shows on HBO, Showtime, PBS, and Warren Miller Films. In late 2005, Turgon finally released his first solo album entitled Outside Looking In, featuring the tracks "Living a Lie", "Any Other Time", and the title track "Outside Looking In" featuring Ronnie Montrose on lead guitar. Ex-Montrose member Denny Carmassi was the drummer for all tracks. Turgon recently worked on a collaboration album with Redding, California electronic musician Craig Padilla. The collaboration is titled Places of Power and the CD Now Is the Hour was released on January 23, 2009 on the Blistering Records label.

Thanks for helping!
Italian restaurants are always either good or great. Gina's is very good, not great, but far superior than average. Stick to the specials. You will be super happy and the prices are aligned with the food and service.
Try the Rigatoni Pesto with grilled chicken and roasted pine nuts.... delicious. They also service delicious bread with lunch and dinner. This is a great local place.
We manage to get to the central California coast about once a year and always make it to Gina's for lunch. We have never been disappointed.
The butternut squash raviolis are absolutely delicious! Others in our group were equally pleased with their meals. Service was very good and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended. (Get the butternut raviolis).
We came here on the recommendation of our hotel concierge, who suggested that we could get an excellent Italian meal here. I respectfully disagree: it was not an excellent Italian meal (mediocre to pretty good, at best).
We enjoyed our visit to Gina's, but not for the food. We had a table at the window and had great views of...
Fond memories of Gina's are a thing of the past. The atmosphere is not very comfortable, and the food does not stand up to the finer Italian restaurants in San Luis Obispo County. We drive the extra miles to Pismo Beach for Italian meals.
Been going to Gina's for years... to meet friends, have a business meeting, or just to relax with a glass of wine. Small intimate Italian restaurant with great food, service and small town ambience. No TVs, just the sounds of happy people enjoying the many selections they have. Known for their raviolis and local wine selection, Gina's is a special...
My husband and I ate at Gina's on a weeknight,so unfortunately we didn't try any of their interesting wine list. We did , however, try the eggplant parmgiana appetizer which was very good. The sauce was tasty , the eggplant tender and filled with cheese. I had the pollo marsala, which was a very large portion, with fresh green beans(...
We arrived for dinner at this quaint small restaurant around 6:30 without reservations on a weeknight and we had to wait.
If possible make reservations. The food was good and the serving sizes were generous. They had the best tiramisu I have had in a long time.
Easy to find, generous portions of fresh food, patio eating available. A great dinner at a fair price!
The service and food are outstanding, and a good wine list. The only reason it didn't get 5 stars from me is because the menus is pretty traditional and the decor is pretty basic. I would absolutely recommend this place for a very nice Italian meal.

Victoria Beckham (Getty Images) Victoria Beckham's stay-fit tricks never vary: The fashionista hits the treadmill every morning to maintain her slender figure.
She said: "I run four or five miles every day on the treadmill. For me I like the fact I can get off whenever I want … I've also started seeing a trainer at the gym and he's fantastic. Brutal, but absolutely fantastic."
Although her husband David Beckham shares his wife's passion for keeping fit, he doesn't enjoy pounding a treadmill. The soccer superstar admires Victoria's commitment to exercise but he prefers to run and get somewhere for his efforts. In a joint interview with his 36-year-old partner for InStyle magazine, he said: "Victoria's obsessed with working out. She's in the gym every morning … But I hate running and not getting anywhere. I like to be outside. I like to run on the roads late at night. When I've got the day off, I'll go to the gym with Victoria. There's this amazing gym in Santa Monica we go to."
Despite being prepared to hit the gym daily, Victoria accepts she will never be able to compete with 35-year-old David's fitness levels because he has to stay in shape for his sports career. The brunette beauty said: "I'm not going to compete with him -- are you kidding me? Come on. He has an amazing body. He doesn't have any fat on him at all."

We absololutely loved our stay here over a weekend exploring Bristol and the surrounding countryside. Couldn't have felt anymore welcomed, and can safely say Amanda's family went above and beyond to ensure we were well looked after - fanatstic conversations and an impromptu Bristol 101 tour just to name a few. Great location, lovely home, super quiet and quaint, spacious and comfortable room, with everything you could need, effortless to get into the city centre.Sam2016-11-28T00:00:00Z
Juste génial!Denis2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Amanda and Jeremy were such generous and hospitable hosts. They went above and beyond our expectations of Air Bnb hosts. Their two sons were also particularly charming and friendly. Jeremy even drove us to the city and gave as a grand tour of Bristol! Our stay with this lovely family was one of the highlights of our trip.Gabriel2016-11-07T00:00:00Z
This place is one of the few I can put 5 starts. If I could do it I would rank it with 6. Amanda, the landlady, is lovely and friendly. She interested in us and care when we arrived her home, all we were in her house and when go moved from it. The room and the bathroom are amazing, and the family share their live with us like a family. The house is beautiful and the neighbourhood is the countryside just 10 minutes by bus from the Bristol downtown. Better is impossible.Humberto2017-03-31T00:00:00Z
Great host very accommodating. Many thanks for a lovely stay :)Alan2016-08-13T00:00:00Z
Hosts were very welcoming and lovely people who made us at home as soon as we arrived with a pot of tea and biscuits. We were just stopping over for the night so didn't have chance to visit much of the surroundings but the views from the house were stunning. After a good nights rest on a very comfortable bed and a brush up in the well fitted out wet room we went down to be greeted by our two hosts and a lovely breakfast including fruit from their own garden. Lovely interesting couple with good conversation. Recommended.Edward2016-07-23T00:00:00Z
It was a lovely time staying at Amanda and Jeremy's. We were their first Airbnb guests and they have treated us with kindness and care. We had dinner together in their beautiful garden, picked fruits in the morning, stayed and chatted for hours because we just enjoyed our time there. Their house were excellent, everything was even better than described. We really hope we can go back and stay with them for longer next time.Tammy2016-07-15T00:00:00Z
Amanda and her family were excellent hosts. They were accommodating, friendly and provided us with invaluable local knowledge of the area. The house was clean and comfortable with a lovely family atmosphere which made the perfect base for us to see the balloon festival, just a 20min walk to the site. On Sunday morning they prepared a great breakfast for us to sit and watch the balloons outside as we ate. Everything you could want from an Airbnb host.Nick2016-08-14T00:00:00Z

Louise is a friendly person. Her place is quiet and comfortable. I recommend her house for staying in Long Ashton.Mohammed2016-10-10T00:00:00Z
Louise made us feel very welcome in her cosy home. The accommodation was exactly as described and perfect for our short stay. Louise thoughtfully provided water in the bedroom, the bed was very comfortable and there was a file detailing local attractions and walks. We were pleasantly surprised to find that there was a dedicated parking space outside the house. The location is excellent; easy to find, in the countryside yet only a short drive to Bristol.Sheila2015-10-19T00:00:00Z
was happy to leave key for to gain access even though she wasn't going to be in which is excellent news for a long distance traveller , lovely comfy bed and very warm toward my black lab. Cosy bijou cottage style end of terrace that is obviously a sun trap as all the plants thrive. Absolutely no airs and gracis . Parking was a doddle. If you want a place well located to Bristol or North Somerset (airport) and great value for money with a 'real' human being then I recommend Louise's place.Guy2016-09-26T00:00:00Z
Louise has a lovely home with a beautiful garden and is a very friendly and accommodating host. I was kindly offered to join dinner when we first met and to take fresh eggs, courtesy of her own chickens, whenever I fancied. I was made to feel at home throughout my stay. Thank you, Louise!Caya2016-04-17T00:00:00Z
Lousie was a lovely host who answered our emails and gave us lots of information before we arrived. We arrived later than we expected due to a delayed bus, not being picked up by the car hire place and she was still kind enough to show us around before heading out. The room and house is exactly as described. Noise does travel a bit, so if you're a light sleeper, you might need some earplugs.Jill2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
I enjoyed mu stay very much and recommend Louise. ' s house. The bed is very comfortable , the room , kitchen and bathroom were clean. I slept undisturbed by outside noise of traffic etc and the house is in a quiet estate.

Our stay at Long Ashton house was wonderful. We were greeted by our host Timo. Immediately our family were made to feel like home. We were introduced to Claire and there little boy Lucas. Our two children were welcomed to play with Lucas. It was lovley. unfortunately we were very busy running around we really only had a chance to sit down with Timo, Claire and Lucas our last day. You will not find a more lovely couple. In our time of need we needed a place to stay and could not have found better hosts. I would suggest everyone to stay here at Long Ashton house.

Yvonne and Al made us very welcome during our stay with them. The room and en suite were spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Al very kindly set out breakfast for us to have on both mornings which was much appreciated. There was parking and it was a short walk to local pubs and restaurants. There is a good bus service into Bristol. We would recommend staying at Yvonne's great host's.Paul2016-09-05T00:00:00Z
I have stayed at Yvonne's place for 2 night , while I was on some course in Bristol . Even thought I was gone most of the days I have found the place very cosy and nice , very nice location and quiet . For me it was perfect . Thank you again Yvonne for hosting me .Gross2016-05-23T00:00:00Z
This is my first Air BnB experience and Yvonne & Al are first class hosts in a 5* home, everything was as described and more. Super room with en-suite, Tv etc, great coffee and breakfast, could not be made to feel any more like being at home. Many thanksJohn2016-07-24T00:00:00Z
Yvonne was a great host ! My boyfriend and I staid at her place for one night and we had a great time. Yvonne told us where to go to get good food, and she directed us to an indian restaurant located only 5 minutes walk from her house, and it was the best chicken tikka massala I ever had. The next morning, she cooked us a very good breakfast early in the morning because we had a flight to catch. The bedroom with a private bathroom was perfect, the bed is comfortable, we had a TV and the bathroom is very clean and functional. The location of this airbnb is very convenient as it is only 10 minutes drive from Bristol airport, and there is no traffic to get there. I would definitely recommend Yvonne's place, it was one of the best airbnb experience I have had so far.sophie2016-05-03T00:00:00Z
I could not have asked for more hospitable or generous hosts. A Lovely house with great view. Room had en suite, and was perfect.Jason2016-05-18T00:00:00Z
We were very pleased with our stay and made to feel very welcome. The breakfast was excellent and a good selection of Cereals and Preserves. Fresh bread and fresh coffee teas or orange was readily available. Car parking secure in front of house. Bedroom and En Suite very private. The hosts were very friendly and it was a pleasure to stay there. We will book again when next in Bristol.richard2016-10-24T00:00:00Z
Stayed for 10 days due to working away from home and could not have asked for a better place to stay. Yvonne and her family made me feel at home and the room was very comfortable and clean in a beautiful location. I would definitely stay again.Warren2016-05-14T00:00:00Z

Gareth is a great host, really relaxed and friendly. The room was lovely, really spacious and comfortable with lots of natural light. There was also a peaceful garden for warm evenings and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. It's in a perfect location and was within walking distance for everywhere I needed. Local pubs and eating places were also good. Highly, highly recommended. (The cue dog/ewok is another bonus!)Nicky2016-06-06T00:00:00Z
A lovely and spacious room in a quiet neighbourhood. Gareth is a great host, very friendly and helpful and his children too. I really felt like home. The house is close to everything you need, the airport, and Bristol city Center by bus. I won't hesitate to come back for a next trip in uk. Highly recommended !Claire2016-06-21T00:00:00Z
Easy communications and a warm welcome on arrival. Spacious bright room in family home within easy walking distance of a good (reasonably priced) pub for dinner. Comfy bed and relaxed stay - would stay again if I need to stop over in the area. Thank you. ChrisChris2016-06-11T00:00:00Z
This was our first time using Air B&B and we were really pleased. Gareth was a great host, he was very friendly and welcoming. Gareth was also very flexible and relaxed and it was kind of him to let us check in early. When booking, his communication was great and he came back very quickly. A completely hassle free experience. The room itself was great, it was really large with a very comfortable bed and we had a great night's sleep. The room was spotless and nice fresh towels were provided. Good storage too. The location was ideal really as it was just outside of the centre so easy to get to but then really easy to get into town and back with a 15 min bus / taxi for a couple of pounds. The area was nice and safe and lots of green (URL HIDDEN) didn't feel like it was so close to a large city centre. We felt that we got good value for money too. Would definately recommend and will go back if we stay in the Bristol area again.Andy2016-05-23T00:00:00Z

We had a great time in Long Ashton. The house was a lovely home so we felt comfortable straight away. The hosts were very friendly and extremely accommodating when we checked out a little later than planned! We stayed in the summer so were able to use their garden and eat in a great room which was filled with sunlight. I wouldn't hesitate recommending this delightful house.Michelle2015-07-07T00:00:00Z
We loved staying here. The house and gardens are beautiful, impeccable clean and well provided. The notes on the various cupboards and draws are very useful and the house bible very helpful and informative. The area is excellent, quiet but will excellent access to Bristol. The pre arrival instructions were good and accurate, and the host very accessible if there were questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us, we hope to be able to stay again in the future.joseph2016-08-16T00:00:00Z
Nice house in a quiet neighborhood. Description was accurate and wonderful views. We never met Flick but talked to her on the phone. Everything was fine.Nancy2015-06-14T00:00:00Z
We had a fabulous weekend in Long Ashton. Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Quiet village but close to Bristol. Great pubs and village amenities. Loved staying in what is a well cared for home. Would stay again without hesitation.Shay2015-10-19T00:00:00Z
Flicks house was very well presented, comfortable and, although we didn't meet it was clear that she is thoughtful and hospitable. The village is close to Bristol and so access is easy. Plus there are shops in the village and a pub with really good food.Geoffrey2015-03-01T00:00:00Z
We felt very much at home straight away. Flick has a lovely home in a quiet location that was perfect for our needs whilst undertaking a sponsored cycle ride in the Cheddar Gorge area. It was a pleasure to come back 'home' after an energetic day in the saddle! The numerous little notes around the house ensured you were always confident of what you were using or where you were putting things. Having milk and bread in the fridge when we arrived was really handy and a thoughtful touch by Flick. As was the travel cot that Flick offered to provide for our little Grandson. All in all a very lovely home that was a pleasure to stay in. Thank you Flick.Julia2015-06-21T00:00:00Z
Lovely house, really nicely set up for guests. Flick left notes around the house giving info (e.g. 'bathroom blind is sticky so don't pull up') and clearly marked which rooms / drawers / wardrobes were for guests use and which were to be left untouched. The house itself is a lovely big space with a wonderful garden which we enoyed playing it very much. There is plenty of space for a family - put the kids to bed and the downstairs is big and welcoming. A nice, well equipped kitchen with a table, plus a conservatory also with a dining table if you fancy a change of view. And a very comfortable living room separate from the eating areas for reading/watching TV. Long Ashton itself was a brilliant place to stay for a family holiday based near Bristol - plenty of buses into the city and also the Park and Ride which we used sometimes. We spent a day in the village and enjoyed walking the cycle path. Highly recommended place to stay for a family - loads of space, peace and quiet, and great facilities in both the village and this house!Kieran2015-04-26T00:00:00Z

My stay at Jim's place could not have been any better and I would recommend to anyone. The Forge itself is a beautiful self-contained home with comfy beds and a great living area to cook/relax/watch tv, whatever you need to do. I wish I had been there in the summer to take advantage of the outside terrace. Location wise, there are amenities within walking distance and Bristol centre is a short drive away. Jim is a thoroughly nice man and excellent host who could not have helped more.IAN & HANNAH2016-10-11T00:00:00Z
Comfortable and well equipped accommodation. Ideally suited to anyone using Bristol Airport as very near, although also very quiet.

Monica's room was perfect. Much bigger than in the photos and with kettle and fridge provided. I had some lovely teas and a cheeky kit Kat that she kindly left for me too. The wifi was perfect and even though I didn't come out of my room as I had work to do she offered me to spend time with her an her husband or in a separate sitting room on my own. There is also a bathroom just outside the room which was for my use only. Anything you may need is there! Also the location is great, very close to the marine and a beautiful path overlooking the sea. Would definitely recommend and stay here again.MARIA DEL PILAR2016-09-30T00:00:00Z

Laurie was a great host, thanks for the tips on local bars! I only stayed one night as I was passing through for work but would happily return for a far longer break. The house was great, very clean and obviously recently done up. I didn't get the chance to light the log fire but the house was still cosy. The beds were incredibly comfortable and the house was well-equipped. Very private, and the courtyard garden was a bonus as it isn't mentioned in the listing. Communication was great, Laurie was there to meet me on arrival and gave me an emergency number if I needed it – I didn't! I can recommend the Rudgleigh pub up the road for food – a great steak and the beer was good too.Alice2017-02-28T00:00:00Z

After a long journey I was warmly welcomed by Nicki and John at their lovely, spacious family home in beautiful Clifton. My room was great...comfortable, nice linen, an array of towels plus thoughtful extras such as a snack and bottle of water. Nicki and John were super hosts...they offered tea, coffee and/or wine upon my arrival, they were genuinely interested in my plans, they provided breakfast and John even drove me into town to the function that I was attending. I whole-heartedly recommend staying here.Clare2017-02-19T00:00:00Z
Nicki's house in set just minutes from Clifton, close to the greens and the bridge, in a lovely residential street with parking on weekends. It is an ideal place from which to explore Clifton, one of the most elegant parts of Bristol. I stayed in the single room, not immense but sufficient, clean, with a comfortable bed, a shared spacious bathroom. There is no TV but some books are available, and I spent time chatting with Nicki and her husband in the evening.Chiara2017-02-13T00:00:00Z
My two-day stay at Nicki's home was really comfortable and relaxed. The house is located in a tranquil, off-the-beaten-track area, yet not too far from the lovely surroundings and small town and amenities of Clifton and Clifton Village. Nicki as a host was wonderful. She made me feel extremely welcome with her open and generous nature and was accommodating to the needs of someone being hosted in her home. All in all, a very pleasant stay. thank you!Anthony2016-05-13T00:00:00Z

World in brief: Raul Castro meets Vatican emissary
Wed., Feb. 27, 2008, midnight
Raul Castro met behind closed doors with the Vatican's No. 2 official Tuesday, in his first encounter with a foreign dignitary as Cuba's president.
The talks with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Pope Benedict XVI's secretary of state, came two days after the 76-year-old Castro succeeded his older brother Fidel to become the first new Cuban head of state in 49 years.
Cuban Foreign Minister Felipe Perez Roque and vice presidents Esteban Lazo and Carlos Lage also attended the meeting. Details of the talks were not immediately released.
Bertone, whose visit marked the 10th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's visit to Cuba, said earlier Tuesday that the island's leaders had assured him they would allow some Roman Catholic broadcasts on state-controlled media.
Ruling limits right to 'Parmesan' name
The European Court of Justice ruled Tuesday that only the tasty, crumbly cheese that has been made for some 800 years near the Italian city of Parma can legally be called Parmesan.
In a case dating back to 2003, the court criticized Germany for allowing sales of imitation "Parmesan" in violation of European Union food origin rules that reserve the name Parmesan for Italian cheese only.
The case was brought by the European Commission. There was no punishment for Germany, but German producers will now have to change the name of their cheese.
Germany had argued that Parmesan was a generic term for a type of hard, crumbly cheese that is often grated over food and cannot claim an Italian uniqueness.
The court disagreed, saying Parmesan was "clearly a translation of 'Parmigiano Reggiano.' "
Walesa tested for heart transplant
Nobel Peace Prize winner and former Polish president Lech Walesa was undergoing tests for heart failure and being evaluated as a potential heart transplant recipient, Houston's Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center said Tuesday.
A brief announcement from the heart center did not detail the extent of the 64-year-old Walesa's condition, saying only that he was being evaluated this week.
Officials confirm new mad cow case
Canadian officials confirmed a new case of mad cow disease Tuesday, the second such case in two months and the 12th since the disease was first discovered in Canada in 2003.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency said no part of the carcass entered the human food or animal feed chains. The cow was detected in Alberta under a national monitoring program that targets cattle most at risk for the disease, also known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy.
The agency says it expects to detect a small number of cases over the next 10 years as Canada moves toward its goal of eliminating the disease from its herds.

Castle Thade was originally published by the Spectrum Adventure Exchange Club over a year ago, and as I didn't have space to review it then I thought it only fair to have a look at this new improved version. I'm glad 1 did too, as it's definitely a very enjoyable, value-for-money adventure - or rather two adventures, as there's one part on each side of the tape - though you can play part two without having to complete part one. It gets an extra mark for value as each copy comes accompanied by the latest issue of the SAEC's Spectrum Adventurer tape-mag, which normally sells at £2, plus five 25p discount vouchers for use in the exchange section of the club.In this tale of derring-do, it seems that the people of Kral have been living in fear of the Lord of Darkness, whose postal address is Castle Thade. The goodies from the Council have despatched many an adventurer in the past in an attempt to defeat the evil Lord, and now it's your turn. The Council's decision is of course in no way connected with the fact that you haven't paid your rates for the last three years.One of the virtues of this text-only game is the text, which is very well-written and conjures up its own vivid graphics. Take this, for example: "The raging river from the south plummets into a deep chasm, forming a huge waterfall. Hundreds of feet below on the floor of the chasm the water churns into white froth, sending a fine mist-like spray into the air. Nearby stands a small bush with leaves as tough as leather."A command like Level 9's 'That's just scenery' has been built-in whereby if you try to examine something in a location description that isn't relevant you're told 'See text for details.' And you'll need to read every location carefully, as well as paying attention at all times in case you miss the various hints. If you do miss them however, type HELP for a list of solutions to problems using the infamous backwards-writing.Plenty of extra little responses have been built-in should you try doing things that aren't going to get you anywhere, and all-in-all, it's well worth sticking your hand in your pocket for.

Sinister electronic break beat track with a science fiction/ futuristic bent. With a bass line reminiscent of a tripod from War of the Worlds, weird alien laughter, and a screaming synth melody this track is not for the faint-hearted.

'Frozen cases' aim to chill investigative reporting in Greece
October 10th, 2016
|Type of Law
A lawyer for the Italian town of Amatrice, where nearly 300 people died in an earthquake in August, announced last week that the town would file criminal defamation charges against the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Earlier this month the magazine "commented" on the earthquake with two cartoons, the first of which crudely depicted victims as different types of pasta. The second, in response to understandable outrage over the first cartoon, read: "Italians, it's not Charlie Hebdo who built your houses, it's the mafia!"
The International Press Institute (IPI) today welcomed an appeals court ruling overturning the criminal conviction of a prominent Greek investigative journalist for defamation.A three-judge panel of the Athens Court of Appeal on Monday unanimously threw out the conviction of Kostas Vaxevanis, editor of the investigative magazine HotDoc. A lower court sentenced him to 26 months in prison for defamation in March 2015.
One can only imagine the feeling of satisfaction and vindication that Greek journalist Dimitris Hortargias must have felt on Dec. 22, 2015, when lawmakers overwhelmingly approved critical reforms to Greece's Press Law, widely known then as the "press killer".
"All I was thinking on that day was that no other colleague of mine will have to suffer the same nightmare that I went through," Hortargias said in a recent interview with the International Press Institute (IPI).
"There is no worse thing for a journalist than to sit in a courtroom and hear that he has been sentenced to prison for doing his job," Greek journalist Stratis Balaskas recounts.
Nearly two months ago, on July 11, Balaskas found himself exactly in this position after the Northern Aegean Court of Appeals confirmed a guilty verdict against him for insult and sentenced him to three months' imprisonment.

Jeremiah 5International Standard Version (ISV)
A Dialogue about Righteousness: The Lord Speaks
5 "Wander through the streets of Jerusalem.
Look and investigate;[a]
The Prophet Speaks
3 Lord, don't your eyes look for truth?
The Lord Answers
"But they, all together, have broken the yoke
9 "Should I not punish them for these things?"
The People Reject God's Warning
10 "Go through her rows of vines and destroy them,
14 Therefore, this is what the Lord God of the Heavenly Armies says:
"Because you people[m] have said this,
17 "They'll devour your harvest and your food.
18 "Yet even in those days," declares the Lord, "I won't destroy you completely. 19 When the people[p] ask, 'Why has the Lord our God done all this to us?' you are to say to them, 'Just as you have forsaken me and served foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'"
The Lord Warns a Stubborn People
20 "Declare this to the descendants[q] of Jacob,
26 "Evil men are found among my people.

PCRI awarded two new laptop computers to school-age youth living in PCRI housing at the beginning of February 2017. The two laptops were gifted to PCRI by Comcast at a late-2016 event providing information about Comcast's Internet Essentials program. After receiving the computers, PCRI invited youth to submit letters describing how they would benefit from having a new computer. While PCRI received many deserving submissions, two winners stood out:
If it wasn't already evident in Takara's letter that she loves to read and write, it quickly became obvious when she came into PCRI's office to pick up her new laptop. Her face lit up when she described what she would be able to learn and write on her new computer.
Similarly, her mother Tiffany beamed as Takara talked about the focus areas of the IB program and how she had earned bracelets for each of the program areas, including thinking critically, taking risks, caring, being open-minded and more. IB schools encourage students outside of the basic common core lessons "by developing inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who are motivated to succeed."
Another youth picked up his new laptop from PCRI's Maya Angelou Community Center.
"I have attended the Maya Angelou Community Center ever since it first opened," wrote Joseph, age 14. "Since that time, I have usually used the center's computers for homework, but now that I am in high school, by the time I get home the center is either closed or ten minutes to close. Never enough time."
Joseph's letter went on to describe how having a new computer would help him and both of his brothers with their studies and completing homework. Joseph was beyond happy when Resident Services Coordinator Adrena Christmas delivered the news that he had won the new laptop. His immediate response was that Ms. Adrena (as he calls her) was tricking him, but once he realized it wasn't a joke, he thanked Adrena and PCRI over and over again for allowing him such a great opportunity.
"My teachers would usually assign work that needs to be on Google classroom, I cannot do it without a computer or internet capable device," Joseph said. "My mother has tried hard to get one, but she never could afford to buy one. This computer will help me so much. My papers will be turned in on time, it will also give me something to do over the weekends."
Since receiving his new laptop, Adrena remarked that Joseph has been in to the community center every day to work on it and she has noticed him become much more in tune with completing his homework.
"I will work as hard as I can to keep my grades up by using the device," he wrote in his letter. "I will graduate by keeping my grades up by using the laptop that I am hoping to win."
All of the staff members who read Takara's and Joseph's letters congratulate them on their new computers. PCRI staff look forward to reading more of Takara's writing and seeing Joseph graduate in a few years from Grant High School.
About the Comcast Internet Essentials Program
Working side-by-side with schools, government, and non-profit partners, Comcast has connected more than 750,000 families—over 3 million low-income Americans—to the power of the Internet in their homes.
Portland Community Reinvestment Initiatives Inc.
6329 NE Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Portland, OR 97211
Tel: (503) 288-2923 Fax: (503) 288-2891

Since 1992, PCRI's vision has been to provide affordable housing and associated services that achieve family stability, self-sufficiency and wealth creation.

I'm in the beginning phases of next August's two week vacation, which will probably be Alsace and the Black Forest for four to five days, then to Switzerland (thinking Lucerne (2 nights), Wengen (4 nights), and Vevey (3 nights), before flying home from Geneva. We would fly LAX- CDG, then train on the Air France ticket to Strasbourg (and collapse).
We're most interested in seeing Strasburg, Colmar, and, in the Black Forest, the Black Forest Open-Air Museum in Gutach, the BF Museum in Triberg, and maybe Baden-Baden, if we have time (not into the spas, particularly, more the town itself). I don't know a lot about Freiburg, though it looks like it has a nice cathedral. We will be using trains the whole trip - don't want to rent a car at all on this trip.
My question is where to base ourselves. My original idea was to spend two nights in Strasbourg (since we're landing there, see that city and Colmar), then move over to Freiburg for three nights. However, if we can avoid moving around, we'd prefer to stay in one place..
In looking at the train routes, it looks like there are easier, more direct trains from Strasbourg to the BF places I've listed than from Freiburg. Is that correct? Will we be missing a lot - considering that we're following up with mountains and hikes in Switzerland - not basing ourselves in the BF?
Also, if we're using the trains a lot, is there some sort of pass for our short haul trips in France and Germany (we'll look into the Swiss Pass when we go there)? After having to wait to purchase from the booths in Toulouse (no chip-and-pin credit card), we'd like to avoid all the hassle.
Thanks very much!

Alsace and Black Forest - where to base, trains
I'm in the beginning phases of next August's two week vacation, which will probably be Alsace and the Black Forest for four to five days, then to Switzerland (thinking Lucerne (2 nights), Wengen (4 nights), and Vevey (3 nights), before flying home from Geneva. We would fly LAX- CDG, then train on the Air France ticket to Strasbourg (and collapse).

Ah another person verbing a noun
What are your interests in Alsace, the wine,walking, the castles, WW1, WW2, Strasbourg's architecture? This affects where you should base yourself.
I guess similar questions about the Black forest, normally walking, breweries, wineries?
Report Abuse
Oh dear, I verbed a noun? Which noun, and was it painful? (Just trying to be succinct on the title).
Anyway, the things we are interested in Alsace would include gardens, architecture and historical buildings/chateaux. We are not interested in the Wine Road, which would probably be more difficult to see without a car, anyway. In the Black Forest, this would would be the places I mentioned above (under "Alsace" and also in my introductory paragraph), walking in the forest (not strenuous hiking), and relaxing in charming surroundings.
And good food.

I used the half-timbered town of Gengenbach as a base for this region a few years ago. Nice cobblestone town square, small museum of Fastnacht costumes, check out the medieval Engelgasse. Worth investigating. Plenty of restaurant choices.
Love the town. You'll have to generally change trains in Offenburg a transport hub...might be worth investigating IT.
Gengenbach-->Strasbourg 1 hr 19
Geng-->Colmar 2 he 4
Geng-->Triberg 37-53 min
Geng-->Gutach Open air Museum 1 hr 9 min
Geng-->Freiburg 1 hr
I used to post under another name, can't remember it to give my TR!

These are areas that we love and frankly I think not renting a car is a big mistake - much easier to get to the smaller places and off the beaten track with a car.
We stay in Strasbourg for Alsace and at a gasthaus in the countryside for the Black Forest. But then we love exploring and serendipity - both more difficult by train.

Thank you for your replies; I have been reading about Gengenbach and it is definitely one of the places we're considering if we stay in the Black Forest - it looks lovely, and thank you for the train connection information.
It depends on how many days we have to allot in the area, and how many moves we want to make. Usually on a two week trip we like to limit it to four places, and stay a minimum of three night nights - it's just much more relaxing to do that. We are already limiting Lucerne to two nights in order to have more in the Berner Oberland.
We need to stay in the city where we "land" at least one to two nights. If we move from Strasbourg to Gengenbach, that's 2 nights/3 nights; if we stay in Strasbourg, it might be OK to do four nights there (I figure that you lose at least a half day each time you move).
nytraveler, we have driven before in Europe, many times, but really don't want to do it this time. The villages are small, and my husband does not wish to try to drive and park there - and I want to reduce stress, so I'm looking for places that we can see by train.
mokka, I'll do a search for TRs and see if I can find yours.
Are you aware of some kind of pass in the area in France and Germany? I know about the KONUS pass, but not any other passes. That will help make the decision…and if our credit card gets chip-and-pin by then (we have Capital One, and they're in the process of changing over).
I have plenty of time to figure it out, just starting to get information and hear your experiences. Because it's August, we're looking for someplace cooler, and this area seems like it would be perfect. Thank you very much!

If you ARE in the Freiburg area, consider a few hours in nearby village of Staufen. Castle ruin above (just a few walls), Schladerer schnapps outlet, quaint town square with ? Faust house and a few wine-tasting cafes. About 30 minutes from Freiburg im Breisgau.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a footballer in lime- green boots – let alone pink – needs to be a good one. "And your point is?" Nicklas Bendtner might have been expected to say. Arsenal's young Dane is on his own admission not short of confidence, but he believes that quality to be fundamental to survival in the rarefied atmosphere in which he operates at the age of barely 21.
So what he did say was: "I'm confident that I'm good, so I can wear what boot I want." And he laughed out loud in acknowledgement of the thin line between self-belief (good) and arrogance (bad). "I know what I can do and the people that know me know that I don't come across as arrogant. I have a lot of self-belief and I don't think you could play at this level without belief [in yourself], that's true for every footballer really."
Playing in Arsenal's four successive goalless draws recently might have dented the confidence of many a striker. Bendtner kept plugging away and had his reward last Tuesday at the less-than-prickly Hawthorns, where he scored twice against West Bromwich Albion and was denied a first hat-trick in this country as another fine effort hit a post.
It was a timely boost to take into a big week for the club that includes an FA Cup tie at home to Burnley today, then the second leg of the Champions' League knockout round against Roma, who lost 1-0 at the Emirates.
Bendtner, who was speaking at the launch of Nike's nationwide Powerleague five-a-side competition (see nikefootball.com), said: "We'd gone into recent games with a lot of belief and confidence we would win, but unfortunately we haven't taken our chances and the goalkeepers made some amazing saves. We've kept tight at the back and kept our belief and at one time it had to pay off.
"I've missed a few chances, and as a striker you have periods like that. The main thing for me now is that I've scored again and want to build on that. You can worry, but you know you have a team behind you and you can be lucky with one deflection; so many things can happen to score a goal. So you keep your belief high and believe in your team-mates and eventually it will come." In an Arsenal squad full of tiros it is easy to forget how young Bendtner is; he was only 16 when he was brought over from Copenhagen five years ago, "a big decision but I wanted to become the best I could be". Arsène Wenger has always remembered it, and been especially paternal in forgiving such youthful indiscretions as a red card against Everton on his full League debut and a spat with Emmanuel Adebayor on the pitch at Tottenham.
Arsenal supporters will always remember a different game against the old enemy, when he was sent on just before a corner was taken and immediately headed it in for his first League goal and the quickest by a substitute since the Premier League began.
In the youth team and reserves before that he had scored 45 goals in 57 starts, and was then toughened up by a season on loan at Birmingham in the Championship. "It developed me well mentally and got me into the Danish national team as well. I had a great time there and getting promoted was a really big deal."
Further education this season has included adapting to a variety of attacking partners, the latest of whom was Andrey Arshavin at West Bromwich. In the first leg of the Roma game he even played, less successfully, wide on the left, with Robin van Persie up front. Now he hopes for a call in any position for the return on Wednesday, as English clubs attempt to supply half of the quarter-finalists for the second year running.
"We made it difficult for Roma because we had the ball for a lot of the game and we were unlucky not to score more. The second leg will be very different, but we have a good base and we know they need to score. The way we've defended, we look strong as a unit, and going forward we're always dangerous."
Being one round behind everyone else has kept Arsenal's FA Cup run low-profile, but they are only two home games from a semi-final at Wembley, which is incentive enough for Bendtner, who has never played at the stadium, old or new. Then there is the League, in which contrasting results have enabled them to cut the gap on fourth-placed Aston Villa back to three points. "We try to focus on ourselves," he said. "But to miss out on the Champions' League [next season] would be a major blow. It cannot happen."
Arsenal have been there, Villa have not. Who knows, it may all come down to a matter of self-belief.
This week's games
Liverpool (1) v Real Madrid (0)
The luxury of a week's preparation time with no weekend game will appeal to the meticulous Rafa Benitez, who should now know too much for Real.
Juventus (0) v Chelsea (1)
Didier Drogba's re-emergence as a force is the most encouraging aspect of Guus Hiddink's period in charge, and his goal at Stamford Bridge makes Chelsea favourites.
Bayern Munich (5) v Sporting Lisbon (0)
Although they have slipped in the Bundesliga recently, Jürgen Klinsmann's side caused an intake of breath with their result in the first leg. No Sporting chance here.
Panathinaikos (1) v Villarreal (1)
The Greeks will be without captain Giannis Goumas, who picked up another booking in the away leg after Giorgos Karagounis gave them the lead. Should be tight.
Manchester United (0) v Internazionale (0)
Inter's Jose Mourinho got lucky in similar circumstances with Porto, scraping a late 1-1 draw, and that memory will haunt United until they are a couple of goals ahead.
Roma (0) v Arsenal (1)
Arsenal are well placed to progress and should be further ahead after wasting chances, even though Roma must surely show more than they did at the Emirates.
Porto (2) v Atletico Madrid (2)
A huge week for Atletico after last night's derby against Real Madrid, but after making the Champions' League at last they may have blown their chance.
Barcelona (1) v Lyon (1)
Lyon would be doing all other contenders a favour by eliminating the favourites, although Thierry Henry's equaliser in the first leg has made that much less likely.
Odds: 11-4 Barcelona; 7-2 Manchester Utd; 7-1 Chelsea; 8-1 Liverpool; 9-1 Bayern; 12-1 Arsenal, Inter; 22-1 Juventus, Real Madrid; 28-1 Roma; 40-1 Porto, Villarreal; 50-1 Atletico, Lyon, Panathinaikos; 2,500-1 Sporting (Ladbrokes).
