Klipsch IMAGE S4 In-Ear Enhanced Bass Noise-Isolating Headphones
" These were the first IEMs I bought that were over 50$ after reading good reviews on it. Unfortunately I don't think they live up to the hype. They are definitely better than some of the other consumer-oriented brands such as Beats, Bose, etc. but they are not worth 70 or 80$.

Product Details
New York-based designer Demy Lee makes low-key and seemingly simple basics that are both current and classic. A genius with proportion and fit, Lee crafts the go-to pieces you reach for (and get compliments on) again and again. And again. This drop-shoulder style has a cropped, slightly boxy fit—perfect for pairing with high-waisted denim or layering over an extra-long shirt.
Size & Fit Details
Demylee™ Giselle sweater
Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 19 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Bohogal Not oversized! For me, the most important part of the review is how does it fit! This sweater is semi-fitted, as the description states. By your normal size. It is a boxy style, cropped, with bracelet sleeves. In JCREW sweaters I can either wear a XS or S. Small fit. I was not crazy about where the darts/seams fall in the front of the sweater and I prefer a longer sleeve, so it will be going back. The knit is beautiful and the style would work with a high waisted pant. Just not what I was looking for. October 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Amanda gorgeous sweater Yay! I just got this sweater on super-sale and am so glad as I couldn't afford full price. The knit is thick and heavy and soft - it feels like quality. I like things to fit small, but actually sized up in this (I would size up in all the Demylee sweaters - I tried every style in small and medium for comparison). The arms were tight in my usual small size, so I got a medium. The shoulders hung better in the medium too (I have straight shoulders, and the small made them look broad). I can't wait to wear this with everything. The ivory color is beautiful! October 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Polly2 Unique Sweater I am 5 feet tall and this sweater is perfect. Don't even have to roll up sleeves as I have to do on everything else! The unexpected side slits and the placement of the unique wool pattern is lovely. The color is very flattering and I am very pale. Thanks JCrew...you did it again! August 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by VermontErin AMAZING SWEATER First, I love the weight, it's hefty, but with the swing it's not clingy. I'm sensitive and am thrilled the fitted sleeves are not itchy. I am 5'4" 110 lbs. and love the way the Small fits. The crop is perfect, with its slightly swingy drape. Also, I have small shoulders, so the high crew neck is very flattering. I live in Vermont, thus the weight is fantastic now that it's chilly. SUPER happy I got this on sale! The coral is a true coral. This is a spot on sweater for a petite pixie-ish woman. October 20, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by JCNH Sweater Weather Great sweater for a person over 5'7" Swamps anyone smaller. October 15, 2014

I've had an epic rant on this topic brewing for years, but the CDC's latest recommendations on the prescribing of opioid painkillers has finally given me the reason I needed to write the darn thing down.
See, here's the thing: I think this country's understanding of pain and approach to pain management is a clusterfuck of the highest order. And that's me putting it nicely.

I occasionally make spicy peas. Dried peas, tequila, and wasabi. Soak them and roast them… Simple. But here's a treat that uses sushi nori which contains a lot of good things like vitamins and minerals. As well, a spicy infusion of wasabi to make your brow sweat and the compunction to eat more until they're gone!
NOTE: some say that for a real vegan experience, ensure your nori is certified vegan!
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons powdered horseradish wasabi (or use paste if not available)
10 sheets nori (Makes about 60 crisps)
Heat oven to 250°F.
Combine the water and the wasabi in a small bowl and whisk with a fork until dissolved.
Take a sheet of nori and fold it in half. Unfold it and lightly paint half the sheet with the wasabi water using a pastry brush. Sprinkle with salt and press it closed. Lightly brush the top with wasabi water. Using a sharp knife, cut the nori into six strips and to a baking sheet.
Repeat until you have filled the baking sheet. Strips shouldn't touch. Bake for 10-13 minutes, until darkened, dry to the touch, and brittle. Transfer the nori crisps to a cooling rack to finish crisping.

Writing in the Catholic weekly, The Universe, the columnist James Kelly explains why "I'm apparently a member of a minority group... when I learn about what's happening in the Middle-East, I don't feel the need to rush out and burn the nearest Israeli flag.
"Despite the way it's presented as a perfectly reasonable thing to do, I don't find myself making a placard in support of terrorist groups who have as their goals the destruction of Israel and all Jews."
Although critical of Israel's assault on Gaza, he was repelled by some of the "deeply unpleasant" scenes of protest outside the Israeli Embassy.
"Equally as disgusting," he concludes, "is the opinion that Israel has forgotten its own history and is now committing a holocaust against Muslims, that Palestine has become like the Warsaw ghetto.
"The Holocaust was the deliberate and planned attempt at the racial extermination of the Jews. Israel is not systematically attempting to wipe Muslims from the face of the Earth. Anyone who claims that is misguided or deliberating undercutting Israel's very right to exist, born as it was out of that horrendous event.
"And there perhaps lies the real problem. Many in the Middle East do not recognise Israel's right to exist. Mixed with a virulent does of antisemitism, this mindset means peace becomes ever more unlikely."
The (Anglican) Church Times, however, lays into Israel with a hostile editorial entitled "Israel is judged by what it destroyed" and a letter co-authored by Canon Paul Ostreicher who cites his Jewish background in calling for economic sanctions.

The John Innes Centre – based on Norwich Research Park alongside UEA – is one of the world's leading research institutes in plant genetics and crop improvement, so there are few places in the world where you'll find a better opportunity to work with such leading authorities and world-class facilities.
Course Profile
The one-year MSc course in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement provides training for students wishing to undertake a further degree in plant molecular genetics, or alternatively, a career in plant breeding and crop improvement. The course focuses on plant molecular genetics and its potential applications to crop improvement in the 21st century.
The course is run jointly by the School of Biological Sciences (BIO) at UEA and the John Innes Centre (JIC), which also includes The Sainsbury Laboratory. The John Innes Centre is one of the world's leading research institutes in plant genetics and crop improvement. The teaching staff includes members of the School of Biological Sciences together with scientists from the John Innes Centre and a number of leading plant breeding and plant biotechnology companies within the UK.
In recent years the career prospects for students with a postgraduate degree in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement have been very good, often leading to a PhD or employment in the plant breeding industry. The course will provide you with a unique opportunity to study plant genetics and crop improvement in an environment of academic and research excellence.
The taught modules cover subjects including plant molecular genetics and biotechnology, target traits for crop improvement, and plant breeding. Training in a number of key transferable skills is also included. You will also undertake a six-month laboratory-based research project under the supervision of a member of BIO faculty or a senior scientist at the John Innes Centre. You will be required to submit a dissertation and present a seminar on your research project.
Research projects are offered in the following areas:
- Plant genetics
- Plant biotechnology and crop improvement
- Plant genome organisation
- Plant-microbe interactions
- Cell and developmental biology
- Plant gene function
"I found this course very beneficial but it was also tough for me as I did not have a molecular biology background in my first degree. However, there was always support from the lecturers, supervisors and staff of the course who are sympathetic to students and encouraging. The number of students is kept small, so the atmosphere of the class is friendlier than the other large courses. We are also privileged to have so much exposure to the latest Plant Science at John Innes Centre where renowned researchers gather from all over the world. Thanks to this course, I was offered the PhD studentship to research Crop Genetics at JIC and enjoy a life as a scientist there!"
Course Modules
Students must study the following modules for 180 credits:
This module is a more in-depth version of BIO-7010A, providing a Master's level introduction to the structure and function of DNA. The module covers mechanisms of inheritance in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms and an introduction to the study of model organisms and their genomes. This will be followed by lectures that cover the contemporary 'omics' technologies used for the analysis of whole genomes, gene function and expression. Lectures and seminars that introduce the role of bioinformatics in genome biology and evolution will also be included together with an opportunity to gain practical experience in bioinformatics. These lectures and seminars will provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills for more in-depth coverage of these topics later in the academic year, including their laboratory-based research project.
Compulsory and restricted module for MSC in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement. A six month laboratory-based research project on some aspect of plant genetics, crop improvement, plant-microbe interactions or plant biology supervised by a member of scientific staff at the John Innes Centre or The Sainsbury Laboratory. This module provides a thorough training in experimentation, data collection, critical analysis, and presentation.
The aim of this module is to provide an understanding of the basic principles of plant breeding and genetics and to explore the principles and applications of the newer technologies in the manipulation of traits in crop improvement. On completion the students' understanding will include: The principles, analysis and application of Mendelian, population and quantitative genetics in plant breeding; the principles and application of molecular techniques such as marker assisted breeding and selection; breeding strategies and selection procedures including the use of doubled haploids; principles and application of heterosis and hybrid breeding. Students are expected to be familiar with the basic principles of plant genetics, a basic knowledge of plant molecular biology would also be an advantage.
Compulsory Module for MSc in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement. Plant genetics and biotechnology have played a significant role in understanding fundamental aspects of plant biology, and they also have tremendous potential for crop plant improvement in the future. This module will provide an overview of the theory and practical applications of plant molecular genetics, genomics and transformation technologies in both model and crop plants.
The aim of this laboratory-based module is to provide a link between the theory of bioinformatics, plant molecular genetics and marker-assisted selection, (which is covered in modules BIO-7001B, BIO-7012A and BIO-7003A), together with their practical basis. Using bioinformatics students will design molecular markers to determine the genotypes of F2 plants segregating for distinct morphological characters. Genotyping of the F2 seedlings will be used to predict the phenotypic characters exhibited by mature plants. The module will demonstrate how molecular genetics can be used to select plants with specific combinations of traits - which is a key feature of contemporary breeding programmes. The module will also provide students with key practical skills in bioinformatics, molecular genetics and scientific writing skills.
This restricted and compulsory module for the MSc in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement involves individual work carried out by the student under the supervision of the research project supervisor. This module involves an extensive survey of current literature related to the research project (BIO-7033X), the formulation of hypotheses, and the design of experiments to test them. The module is intimately linked with the research project module BIO-7033X where students conduct these experiments, analyse their research project data, and critically assess their hypotheses.
Restricted module for students on the MSc in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement. This module will provide training in statistical methods appropriate for analyzing data from many experiments in plant science and crop plant improvement. No prior knowledge of statistics will be assumed. The preliminary lectures and practicals will cover Basic Statistics and Design Principles, the estimation of important parameters, confidence intervals and significance tests and will also introduce linear models and concepts of experimental design. The later lectures will cover Experimental Design and Analysis and will teach the use of general linear modelling as a widely-applicable method of analyzing data from most experiments. Further lectures will develop specific topics relevant to plant genetics. This module will provide students with essential skills required for analysis of experimental data from their own laboratory-based research projects and for a wide range of research in the future.
Compulsory module for MSc in Plant Genetics and Crop Improvement. Future crop plant improvement will depend upon new varieties expressing a number of key traits, either by conventional plant breeding, or by genetic modification. These traits include durable resistance to pathogenic microorganisms, and promoting interactions with other microorganisms that will result in mutually beneficial symbioses that could reduce inputs of nitrogen and phosphorous in agriculture. Other desirable traits include tolerance to abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and extremes of temperature, as well as crops with enhanced nutritional quality. This module will investigate the genetic basis underlying these important traits in both model and crop plants, and the strategies for introducing these traits into specific crops.
DisclaimerWhilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.

Here's recent news mentioning SZK - "ProShares 130/30 ETF Surpasses $100 Million in Assets" - http://fileslawsuit.info/SZK
Try, SH, no frills, 2.7 billion in assets, and % change is -1.83% in short interest! Same manager.I recently bought SH too early, held it from Oc.t 11th - Oct. 27th, but immediately switched to SRS Oc.t 27th at $37.59, and sold that Nov. 1st at $41.20! Made a quick 10% gain, recouped all losses in SH+ a little profit. IN cash now, and thinking of doing the same again, starting with SH, if I'm too early, I'll switch to a 2X. SH is lower now, so a good point to start my stratedgy over again.In summary:I recommend buying a 1X short fund for a hold, and if your wrong, switch to a 2X at the opportune time to recoup. Repeat over and over, and eventually, your buying short will go up.Or you could wait for the opportune time, starting with a 1X first. Always 1X then 2X. Hope this helps, GL
Are you kidding? I see that SZK has 5.0 million in assets, Hratch Najarian, manager, and...% change in short interest from previous month, +209% Red flags???

Asymmetric effects and long memory in dynamic volatility relationships between stock returns and exchange rates
We use univariate and multivariate GARCH-type models to investigate the properties of conditional volatilities of stock returns and exchange rates, as well as their empirical relationships. Taking three European stock markets and two popular US dollar exchange rates as case study, our results show strong evidence of asymmetry and long memory in the conditional variances of all the series considered. In multivariate settings we find that bilateral relationships between stock and foreign exchange markets are highly significant for France and Germany. Moreover, both the univariate FIAPARCH and bivariate CCC-FIAPARCH models provide more accurate in-sample estimates and out-of-sample forecasts than the other competing GARCH-based specifications in almost all cases. Finally, there is evidence to support the suitability of the FIAPARCH model in forecasting portfolio's market risk exposure and the existence of diversification benefits between stock and foreign exchange markets.

The Aftermath of World War II
The Grand Alliance was a military success—Germany and Japan were defeated by the fall of 1945. However, despite the agreement to organize the United Nations, nothing close to a lasting ideological or political alliance was formed among the Allies during the Second World War. There were simply too many irreconcilable differences between them, exacerbated by a traditional distrust that commenced with the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

Tease by Lovehoney Silky Restraints (4 Pack)

Silky, sexy and oh so good
Reviewed: 20 February 2016 by afrodan, a Bisexual Going Steady Male
These restraints are gorgeous. They are made of silky satin, which feels great against your skin. Despite them being super silky, they are very easy to tie into a strong knot, and very easy to undo, making them easy to use in bed so you can focus on your partner rather than tying knots.
The restraints also feature a loop at one end and a pointy end at the other, meaning you can quickly create a slip loop, making restraint even easier. Plus the slipknot is easy to get out of and the harder you pull the tighter the bind around your wrist or ankle, which is great. I love the colour - makes bondage pretty.
I would recommend these to anyone looking to try bondage for the first time or even pros!
Another quality Lovehoney product.
- Pros
- The silky material.
- Cons
- Not many hotel rooms have beds I can get tied to!
- Bottom line
- Great restraints, perfect for first-timers.

Tied up and nowhere to go
Reviewed: 16 October 2015 by naughty mum, a Straight Going Steady Female
This was sent to me as a secret tester as my current partner voiced an interest in trying out something a bit kinky and I was delighted to get this to try out!
It did take a bit of time to get a quiet evening with no kids about and us both in the same house but, when we did, we decided to make a fun evening testing this and a few other products.
Firstly, these are simple but effective. They're made in gorgeous silky satin and finished very well. There's a small loop stitched in at one end so you can form a quick and easy loop around your wrists or ankles by slipping the free end into it. This leaves plenty of length to tie to whatever you wish. Luckily, at my house I have a metal-framed bed so it was an easy task to tie off at many points. There was a lot of giggling and innuendo from both of us.
Once I was tied up my partner found I was really well fastened, it was quite a challenge to move. They restrain perfectly without cutting off the blood to your extremities, although the sensation of them tightening when things got more steamy was actually quite a turn on!
For ease of getting back out of them, I would say it is fairly easy to do - you just loosen them and open the loop a bit to slip out. However, if you are trussed a bit firmly it might be more of a challenge.
My partner had a go of being the recipient too and it was quite a turn on having him so restrained as he could not riggle out of anything I was doing to him (bliss!).
- Pros
- The soft feel of the fabric, but still firm enough to hold.
- Cons
- Nothing.
- Bottom line
- Great intro to a spot of bondage.

Reviewed: 01 October 2015 by DeadBoy, a Straight Going Steady Male
These restraints are very simple, but very effective.
They are basically 4 giant purple ribbons (but they are doubled over and great quality). Because of the simplicity there are really no limits to how you use them. They are also really easy to use because you don't have to put the right body part in the right place and attach it to any specific thing, you can just do whatever you want which makes everything more relaxed and comfortable.
Normally I tie my girlfriend up, but our first time with these (and an added blindfold) we decided to try it the other way around for a change, and it was a lot of fun. We have also used them the other way around. My girlfriend and I both agree that they are very comfortable, even for longer periods of time.
They really are great, versatile, easy to use, comfortable, fun, and good looking (although the purple is maybe a bit too girly for me). They are also not intimidating so good for beginners.
- Pros
- Easy to use, comfy, good quality, versatile, fun, looks good, not intimidating.
- Cons
- The colour is a bit girly for me, but my girlfriend likes it.
- Bottom line
- The perfect restraints for us. Fun and sexy, without being too serious.

N.B. The AUTUMN TOUR 2016 will now be based at the OLD ENGLAND HOTEL on the shores of Lake Windermere. The itineraries will be basically as advertised although in true 'Morecambe and Wise' fashion – all the parts will be there, but not necessarily in the same order! There are still a few places available.
There has been a big demand for details of next years calendar so here are the provisional plans.
PLEASE NOTE These are provisional dates and ideas, Things may evolve as time goes on! (And/or demand requires).
March/April 31-2nd EAST ANGLIA TOUR
3/4 Days in Norfolk and Suffolk. Based near Norwich, Starting near A1.
May 21-27th DALES TO WALES
Start in Derbyshire/Staffordshire Dales, through Peak District and into Cheshire.
(Jodral Bank, Anderton Boat Lift, Delamere Forest.) One night near Whichurch then North Wales (Worlds End, Llangollen, Pontcysylte Aqueduct, Horseshoe Pass), then 3 nights at Lake Vrynwy.
June 25- July 2nd CARDIGAN TO CORK
Start near Welsh Borders, through Brecon Beacons to Cardigan. Ferry from Fishgaurd to Rosslare. Cross country to Clonmel then 3 nights in Kinsale. (different hotel to 2016)
July 31st –August 5th BORDERS AND NORTHUMBERLAND
Start in Lake District, South West Scotland, Borders ( Jim Clark Rooms, Floors Castle, Ettrick Valley), Northumberland (Cheviot Hills, Alnwick Castle) finish Lake District.
September 1-3rd AUTUMN DALES
Start near M6. Pendle Hill, Ribble Valley. Then one day in Dales and one in Trough of Bowland. Based at Coniston Cold. (Skipton)
October 3-15th PECOS AND PORTO
Ferry to Santander, through Pecos Mountains and across Spain to Porto. 'Rest days' in Porto then return run around coast to Santander via Compostela de Santiago.
I am 99% sure we have now cured the problems with the Alpine………fingers crossed! Dirt in the petrol tanks seem to be the main problem but it is hard to say if that is a result of the poor petrol in France last year, or just old age. The car ran perfectly on a local motor club event recently, BUT unfortunately another problem arose.
The exhaust manifold is now blowing so the car won't make it on to the HIGH ROADS TOUR. I will have to use my new toy instead, see below. The Scirocco is a very pretty car but hasn't quite got the performance I expected, although I am assured this is just due to modern technology. The power comes in differently to the old Golf supposedly in the interests of economy and emmisions?!
However, I believe this can be improved by re-mapping/chipping. We will see at some point in the future. It performed quite well in Ireland and it may be just a case of getting used to a new car.
The MOUNTAINS AND GLENS TOUR went very well with 12 cars and generally good weather except for the day we visited the Giant's Causeway and Carrick a Rede rope bridge. The Antrim Coast and Wicklow Mountains provided some spectacular driving routes and a visit to a private car collection (more than 60 pre-war classics) provided the icing on the cake.
The High Roads Tour has a good entry and Scotland is virtually full. There are still some places left on the AUTUMN TOUR but that too is filling up steadily. Plans are also being formulated for 2017 and it looks like Portugal is go! There has been a lot of interest in this and I have put the first steps in motion, but I don't want to divulge too much information at this stage. Other events in the provisional calendar for next year include the previously mentioned, DALES TO WALES, and maybe CARDIGAN TO CORK, SCOTTISH BORDERS and NORFOLK/SUFFOLK.
I didn't have time to write a 'blog' in May as I spent most of the time in Ireland. Firstly a combined recce for the JEC Lincs Tour and the Mountains and Glens Tour was hard work, but worthwhile.
The actual JEC Tour suffered from a lack of entries, several people having to pull out at the last minute. Those who did make it and completed the course were treated to some fantastic weather and there were parts of the route I had never seen before.
It was third time lucky in the Slieve Bloom Mountains which have always been shrouded in fog on my previous visits. The National Stud and Guinness Storehouse visits went down well but the surprise of the tour was the amazing tappas lunch at Roundwood House. A lovely un-restored country mansion and a superb, if unusual meal. I was so impressed I tried to book the Mountain and Glens Tour in straight away but unfortunately it doesn't look possible due to a clash of functions.
The JEC N.Lincs group were so pleased with the tour they have provisionally booked for next year, although probably 'tagging' on to the Dales and Wales Tour (date to be fixed.)
The Barbon and Bowland Tour was also well received despite terrible weather at Barbon on the Saturday. Sunday was surprisingly sunny until late afternoon but more than ¾ of the route had been completed before the heavens opened over Denthead. Fortunately several CCT(MK) regulars joined the event otherwise it may have been cancelled due to lack of interest form the local motor club. (Although in their defence it may have been a lack of publicity?). As we did get at least one new customer who was very enthusiastic I may chance running another local one day event, sometime?
At the moment I am just getting ready for Ireland again. I don't think the Alpine will be fixed in time, (the fuelling problem occurred again on the B+B tour). I won't feel happy about taking it if the problem isn't definitely cured. The RS is making progress but is unlikely to be on the road before the last tour of the year in October. It is now on its wheels and has all the panels attached and is nearly ready for painting – although I keep saying that!
As for a new car, I was very taken with Roger Marriott's new MAZDA MX5 on The Barbon and Bowland Tour – but, I don't think I would like it as an everyday/work horse sort of car. *
As for the remaining tours this year – the High Roads is virtually fully booked, there are a couple of places left for Scotland but some interest from Europe, which might be encouraged by the current exchange rate!, could see it fill very quickly. So if you are interested, don't hesitate, book now. The tour already has an international feel with bookings from Belgium and Switzerland and an enquiry from Latvia.
There are plenty of places on the Autumn Tour but it too is filling up steadily.
*STOP PRESS There will be a new car on the next tour…………………..
What a brilliant start to the 2016 motoring year.
We experienced all the seasons, enjoyed fantastic scenery and the company of a good group of like minded people.
Thank you for organising it so well.
We look forward to meeting up again for the Ireland Tour.
Best wishes Ruth and Ray
Once again another superb tour, excellent hotels and food, the route planning and road book were imaginative and without fault. The hard work you put into your tours cannot be over estimated! Chris and I look forward to seeing you and friends in Scotland. Best regards Chris & Derek Tucker.
I think I can say the COTSWOLD AND CYMRU TOUR was a success.
The weather was a bit 'iffy' at times but the visibility was generally good and the Welsh scenery looked its best at all times. The quiet smooth flowing roads were also very popular and the Lake Vrynwy Hotel made an excellent base. Look out for "DALES AND WALES" in 2017!
If the tour was a success, the repairs to the Alpine weren't quite so successful!
The fuelling problem experienced in France
last year occurred again on more than one occasion. The general consensus of opinion is dirt in the system?? I am seriously considering buying another car – not that I would ever part with the Alpine – but it is covered up in the garage at the moment while I reboot my enthusiasm for it!!
I have just been out 'topless' for the first time this year and the sunshine has inspired me to organise an extra event! I had been thinking of a 'Drive it Day' tour, but as there are so many around the country I thought it may not be worthwhile, especially with the state of our local roads. However it was brought to my attention
that I did a 'Barbon and Borders Tour' acouple of years ago in connection with Barbon Hillclimb, so as I am free for the Barbon weekend this year, I thought, 'Why not?'
For those unfamiliar with Barbon – or hill climbs, Kirkby Lonsdale Motor Club and Liverpool Motor Club run two speed hill climbs every year, at Barbon Manor just outside Kirkby Lonsdale. The course is up the short (1/2 mile) but very picturesque manor drive through scenic parkland overlooking the LuneValley. It makes a good day out for everyone, petrol heads or not. All sorts of cars compete from single seater racers to historic racing cars and rally cars.
The hillclimb is run on Saturday June 11th so the plan would be; visit the hill climb and display our cars on Saturday and then do a tour on Sunday. (Displaying your car gets you a free entry to Barbon – otherwise £8 per person!)
Cars will meet on Saturday at Barbon as above. Accommodation can be arranged for non-locals and then a 120 mile tour will start from the Crooklands Hotel on Sunday morning. The route will go south through the LuneValley and on to the Trough of Bowland. A small scenic loop will then take us to the Wild Boar centre for coffee.
From here the route would take in Longridge Fell with views over the Fylde and RibbleValley, before climbing back over the fells to Slaidburn and north again through GisburnForest. Lunch will be at the Watershed Mill in Settle.
A slightly shorter afternoon run takes us up to Ribblehead Viaduct, then on to Denthead, down Dentdale and over Barbondale, passing the hill climb course on our way back to Kirkby Lonsdale. A short run through some familiar back lanes will then bring us back to the Crooklands.
Entry Fees ; £30 PER CAR (2 PEOPLE) to include; coffee at start, souvenir medal and rally plate AND Entry to BARBON HILLCLIMB on Saturday provided the participating car is displayed at the venue.

MARCH '16 (Just!)
The sun has come out – for a while at least, and some of the bridges and roads in the Lakes have been re-opened at last. (In time for the Easter holiday, and some are only temporary repairs, but it is progress of sorts.)
Having taken part in several tours organised by other people recently I am pleased to say that everyone makes mistakes!! No further comment would be appropriate.
The Alpine performed faultlessly and even completed a couple of days recce after the RACE RETRO show and tour. A subsequent recce trip in Wales with the Golf was also very successful but our decision to return home via the M6 wasn't quite so successful.
Three hours in a queue near Stoke rather spoilt the trip and meant we missed our afternoon pint at the local! I still haven't decided on a new road car but almost bought another rally car – fully prepared having already done a run to Rome. The vivid green clashed a little with the Alpine and a missing front wheel rather put me off.
The Escort has made a little progress. All the welding is done and it is being prepared for painting but it is still some way off being on the road.
I am pleased to say all tours are filling up. There may still be one place left for the Mountains and Glens of Ireland and there is still room on the JEC Irish Tour May 21-29, any car will now be accepted. There are still a couple of places available on the High Roads Tour but I would need to know soon as the hotels are getting booked up – similarly with Scotland.
The trip to RACE RETRO with my old friend, Mr Capstick, might have paved the way to an interesting tour next year. We may be doing an "intense recce" in early 2017 in an area we have never been to. The Alpine tour is still a strong possibility but may be postponed to 2018 – then I might retire in 2019, just 20 years since my last retirement!
Apologies to regular readers for lack of a 'blog' for some time. This has been due to the terrible weather and the consequent problems with local roads meaning I haven't been out and about much recently. So, there hasn't been much to report. I am pleased to say we have just had a few nice days so I have commenced my route noting for this years tours.
There are still places available on the first tour of the year, Cotswolds and Cymru (don't forget you can just enter the first day if you wish) and the tours later in the year are slowly getting booked up. As the Scottish Tour is quite long this year and I know many people have done a lot of the route before, I have decided to give people the option to do either the first half only, or just the second half. Of course you can still enter the whole event.
With all the bad weather and roads closed around the area I have had plenty of time to think of warmer climes and start looking ahead to 2017. The 2016 calendar is deliberately a little more 'conservative', as last year was a bit too busy for comfort. So with the success of the Summer Monte Tour I am looking at something similar for next year. I mentioned earlier a possible 'Alpine Alpine' tour (2017 being my Alpine's 50th birthday) and I have since looked into the idea in more detail. It would use some of the best bits of 2015 but instead of going all the way to Monte Carlo we would double back through some of the high Alpine passes. I won't go into more detail at this time as it is not unknown for competitors to poach ideas!
The 'DRIVE IT DAY' TOUR (Tour of 97), April 25th. Is on hold for the time being. This is because the route was to be entirely on the O.S. Sheet 97, which is unfortunately the area badly hit by the Cumbrian floods, so it is difficult to plan a route at the moment. Some roads are likely to be closed well into the summer. It is actually the bridges which are causing the problem – health and safety gone a little over zealous maybe. I do have a 'cunning plan' however, utilising a route mainly on major (but quiet) roads which I have checked out already – but I am not sure if this will appeal to the lovers of 'Kirk Roads'? It might be "THE 100 MILE TRIAL" (115 actually), using roads from Kendal to Brough, then into the Pennines with a lunch stop at High Force, and a return run over Hartside Pass and Shap Fell. All very good driving roads and a very easy route to follow – any takers? To make it worthwhile travelling up to Cumbria, there may be a Yorkshire Tour on the Saturday as well – a quick ride around the other day proved that the roads aren't as badly affected over there.
The current problems shouldn't affect the Lakes Autumn Tour as hopefully most roads will be open by then, but if not there is plenty of time to devise a route around any them.
The Alpine has just had its pre-season check over and a new electric fuel pump has hopefully cured the fuelling problems I experienced at the end of last year. (In France I put it down to vapourisation in the hot weather, but when the same problem occurred in Cumbria in October I decided that it was something else!). The car now seems to be going better than ever. Not much more news on the RS though, I had hoped it might be seen out on a tour later this year – I am not holding my breath! I still haven't bought a new road/recce car, the old 'oil burner' Golf had a major service and seems to be working as efficiently as ever, so while I fancy something a little more exciting I have no need to rush the decision of what to get. A VW Scirocco is high on the list as it combines a bit of style with performance and practicality – but a Porsche Boxster or Cayman is also on the list purely for fun (and I have always wanted a Porsche) but maybe not so practical ---- until I retire!?
The Alpine's first trip out will be at RACE RETRO at StonelieghPark at the end of the month. No, I am not having a stand, but will be taking part in the HERO RETRO TOUR on Saturday (just to see how the 'professionals' do it!?), then I will be visiting the show on Sunday, so I will give you a wave if I see you there. Afterwards I am staying on for a day, route noting in the Cotswolds. Two weeks later I will be taking part in a local club's 'MINI MIGLIA TOUR' around 'my own patch' just for a bit of fun before my season starts for real, so there should be plenty to report next month.
Looking further ahead ----- I am working on plans for something special for 2018, which may involve a serious recce trip early in '17. More news on that later, suffice to say I am still not retiring – yet, but I may put all my efforts into one or two major events rather than a full programme……………..
P.S. I am aware that the colours on the photographs on the website have gone a little 'strange' and we hope to rectify that at some point.
Meanwhile the Escort has made a little progress and I am hopeful that it will be able to take over some of the tour duties in 2017. Its original 'reason d'etre' was as a competitive rally car but with the amount of money it has cost to restore I am not sure I will want to thrash it through forests and dirty farmyards in the future….. although I don't know! Somebody recently gave me a photo of the car on the last rally it did (finished 4th overall) and it looked so good it rather rekindled the enthusiasm again – what the hell, its only money, and I would rather use the car than sit in a field with hundreds of others just admiring it.
Two things struck me whilst marshalling. One was the extreme diversity of competing cars from £200k state of the art Fiestas to a SAAB 96, a couple of Hillman Avengers, a Mini and an unbelievably 'tatty' Suzuki Swift. The other thing that was noticeable was the number of drivers who were of my generation, not all young 'whizz kids'. I did wonder who had the most enjoyable day, the guys in the expensive Fiestas, the best one only finishing 3rd, or the guy who looked as though he had just come down off the fells after tending his sheep, and drove his battered Suzuki into a firm last position? The whole Suzuki was probably worth less than one of the tyres on the Fiestas. Ironically the outright winner (by one second!) was a PROTON --- mind you it had Mitsubishi 4WD running gear and a 2.4 litre fuel injected Ford engine. An enjoyable day and food for thought.
One event that isn't in the calendar is my usual 'Birthday Bash' the STUFF THE TURKEY TREASURE HUNT on December 29th 2015. The usual format of cryptic clues and a short scenic run based at the Station Inn, Oxenholme. I had run out of ideas and different routes and did consider resting the treasure hunt, but as ever it is back by popular demand. (I have a cunning plan). Well, it would be a boring birthday otherwise! See below.
Merry Christmas and a Happy Touring New Year
Well, that's it, another year's tours finished, and plans already underway for next year. The last two tours of 2015 couldn't have been more different – weather wise at least.
Apart from the 'tail end' of a hurricane one morning in central France, the Summer Monte Tour was "topless" all the way. The hotels and meals were universally praised and I was surprised at how many well travelled people hadn't experienced the spectacular scenery of the southern Alps and Gorge de Verdun. Even our friends from Belgium and Switzerland were impressed and expressed a desire to return. I think regulars, Brian and Helen some it up best though;
"Well, we've been on some brilliant tours with you over the years but the scenery on the Monte one just about beats them all! We've been all over the world and seen a lot of stunning sights, and we wondered if we were getting a little blasé, but the Gorges and Passes you took us over certainly had the "Wow!" factor – and seemed to get better and better each day. Just too big to fit into the photos! Add to that some lovely French hotels, splendid weather for our first foray into open-topped motoring, and some excellent food and company – what more could we want.
Best regards Brian/Helen.
In contrast the Circuit of Cumbria was blighted with the worst weather conditions possible for a scenic tour. It is one thing to drive in pouring rain so long as you can see something, but fog and mist and low cloud just defeat the whole object! Fortunately there were a few clear spells over the four days and newcomers to the area were suitably impressed with what 'God's OwnCounty' has to offer. Some new roads and variations on past themes also kept the regulars interested and there was certainly an 'end of term' atmosphere amongst the group – all planning to do more next year!? Roger and Marie who completed a 'full house' of 2015 tours summed it up;
Hi Mike
Many thanks for the 7 tours we took part in this year, starting in March
with the Devils Diamond Tour and ending in October with the Circuit of
Cumbria. We always have such a good time and it would be difficult, almost
impossible to find better.
We look forward to the 2016 season.
Best wishes
Roger and Marie
So, it looks as though I am fully committed to a programme for 2016. There have been a lot of suggestions, and I have taken these into account. It would be impossible to do everything that has been talked about and certainly some past tours warrant repeating. However, at the risk of disappointing some regular customers, I do not intend to run any major European events in 2016. I will be sticking to ENGLAND, IRELAND, SCOTLAND and WALES.
I already have 2 trips to Ireland planned and was considering 'resting' Scotland after 15 consecutive years, but popular demand means I will be doing it again, albeit at a different time of year. Wales was already in the plan and of course England and particular the North is 'my own patch' and I am sure I can come up with some new ideas. With some events already confirmed I felt a major event at the end of the year would not only create a lot of hard work but may compromise entries on existing tours. But I am working on a European tour for 2017 ---
Therefore, the 2016 Calendar looks like this;
APRIL 3-8th COTSWOLDS AND CYMRU
1 day in Cotswolds, 1 Welsh Borders, 3 , Central Wales.
Gaydon Heritage Centre, BlenheimPalace, SevernValley Railway, Long Mynd, Lake Vyrnwy, Snowdonia.
APRIL 24th DRIVE IT DAY – TOUR OF 97
A circuit of Ordnance Survey sheet 97 – Kendal and Morecambe
MAY 21-29th JEC TOUR OF IRELAND - Jaguars Only
Dublin, 4 nights in Killarney, Ring of Kerry, South Coast, WicklowMountains. Guinness Factory, National Stud.
JULY 3-10th MOUNTAINS AND GLENS OF IRELAND
Start in EnglishLakes, S.W. Scotland, Glens of Antrim, Giant's Causeway, Titanic Experience, Mountains of Mourn, Gordon Bennett Circuit and WicklowMountains. Guinness Factory, National Stud.
AUGUST 1 -7th HIGH ROADS TOUR
Start Peterborough, Rutland Water, Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, Lake District, Northumberland and Hadrian's Wall
SEPTEMBER 12-20th SCOTTISH TOUR
Start Lake District, Borders, Falkirk Wheel and Kelpies, Forth Bridge, Glen Eagles, N.E. Coast, Pass of the Cattle, Loch Ness, Glenfinnan, Dukes Pass, finish in Northumberland.
OCTOBER 13-16th AUTUMN LAKES
4 nights at Crooklands. Some parts of 2015 Circuit of Cumbria reversed with interesting additions, and day in North Lancs, Trough of Bowland area.
The photos below show the (slow) progress being made on the Escort and a signpost that proves CCT(MK) Tours reach the parts that others don't.
It has been another busy few weeks with trips to Ireland, France and the Grand Yorkshire Tour. Ireland was just a 'fun weekend' at the LURGAN PARK RALLY. Lots of sideways Escorts and a few other modern rally cars. Unfortunately I left my camera in the hotel! So no pics.
France was the recce for the SUMMER MONTE TOUR which we did in a heatwave, 38 deg. C some days. It was a case of windows closed and air conditioning on. We found some spectacular roads though. I always thought the famous Col du Turini was the most awesome road in the Alps but now the vegetation seems to have grown up to hide some of the bigger drops. The hairpins are just as tight though. However the Col de Rousset and Mont Ventoux more than made up for that.

Cardinals agreed to terms with S Yeremiah Bell, formerly of the Jets, on a one-year contract.
"Yeremiah is the kind of guy you love to have on your football team," said Cardinals coach Bruce Arians in a press release. "He's a guy with experience as a starter who has been very productive. He's also been incredibly durable, starting every game but one over the last five years. Team-wise he's exactly the type of player you want in your locker room -- a football junkie who loves the game."I hope Idzik has a good plan here. I mean its looking now like the NY Jets are going to be made of a bunch of back-ups. That can all change in a day though. Bell was solid in the secondary. I wish him the best of luck in Arizona and like I mentioned in my Landry post the Jets seem to be very thin at Safety. Also the Cards cut Kerry Rhodes.
