According to the latest figures, an average of around 10 potholes dot every mile of road in England and Wales, and the total number will pass two million for the first time this year.
Cyclists are now being deterred from using their bikes because of poor road surfaces, Miss Pendleton said.
"Following more bad weather this winter, potholes are still a serious problem for road users, particularly people cycling to work or school, cycling for fun, keeping fit, or even cycling professionally," she said.
"We have to make our roads safer and more accessible for cyclists who often lack confidence to ride their bikes in and around urban areas because of poor road surfaces."
Her comments follow warnings that councils will struggle to repair potholes because of a £165 million shortfall in funding.
The Local Government Association, which represents around 350 councils, said highways departments will be hit by cuts as they begin to survey the damage exacerbated by the worst December weather in a century.
According to the Asphalt Industry Alliance, every mile of local authority-owned road in England and Wales will have 10 potholes.
The organisation, which produces a yearly report on the roads, said the number of potholes could reach two million by the spring.
"This is a very serious issue. Cyclists and motorcyclists are the road users most vulnerable to accidents caused by potholes," the alliance's Helen Melhuish said.
"If central government provided more funding to help get local roads back into reasonable condition, local authorities would be better able to implement their planned preventative maintenance programmes, rather than wasting already stretched funds on reactively filling potholes."
Miss Pendleton, 30, is supporting an awards scheme to judge UK councils on repairs to potholes which occur when water repeatedly freezes and expands in cracks in the road.
She said: "I'm getting involved because anything that showcases pothole repairs and encourages councils to improve their roads has to be a good thing for both cyclists and motorists.
The top performing councils will meet Miss Pendleton and receive awards at a presentation in May.
Construction company Aggregate Industries has launched the scheme with CTC, the national cyclists' organisation.
The FillThatHole website, created by CTC in 2007, receives an average of 29 pothole reports a day. So far, it has passed 43,000 reports of road defects to the relevant highway authority.
Transport Minister Norman Baker said: "We know how important it is that local roads are well maintained. That is why, despite the need to make in-year budget reductions, we have protected day-to-day funding for local road maintenance this year.
"We will invest £3 billion in maintenance over the next four years as well as spending £6 million to help local authorities make their road maintenance programmes as efficient and effective as possible.
"However, local councils should be managing their road maintenance throughout the year and in view of the last two winters we would expect winter maintenance to be a priority for them."Reuse content

Nelson Cycles and Engineering was established in 1979, by David Evans, to produce hand built cycle frames (He retired in 2007 and Nelson Cycles closed; if you are looking for the bike shop in Llangynidr, you need www.cyclebasket.com ). Originally David, then a technician in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Cardiff University, agreed to build some frames for Jack Hearne Cycles in Slough. This developed into building frames for sale under the Nelson brand and from this developed enamelling and frame repairs.
As time went by, demand for frames increased and also a demand for complete bikes developed. A search had to be made for a supply of quality frames. This proved difficult as, although frames were not hard to find, there was a great deal of rubbish on offer! The first consignment of frames from a "Well Known" builder required so much refinishing and rectification as to be uneconomic. Luckily a former Reynolds Tubing frame builder set up in business and was able to supply quality frames in suitable quantities.
During the 1990s frame manufacturing was changing and Mountain Bikes had become established. This led to the building of Nelson Mountain Bikes and to importing of frames from Europe and directly from Taiwan. Fortunately, frame building and engineering experience is of immense value here, in terms of frame design and it also ensures that frames can be independently evaluated, without reliance on costly marketing hype and reputations that have been bought rather than earned.
Nelson frames are still available via cyclebasket.com, which is run by David's son Martin. Prior to setting up cyclebasket.com, Martin had been running the very well equipped Nelson workshop, which not only included a comprehensive range of cycle related tools but also frame building, turning and milling facilities.

Diary Entry 1
A brief introduction to our main character, Saber.
Yes, a book has been made about this, but I wish to recreate my own version of it.
Thank you.
Diary of Saber-
Diary entry 1
I got woken up by Theresa in the early hours of this morning, she was tossing and turning. Her face seemed so confused, and she just sat up suddenly, her eyes were wide open, it must been another one of those dreams she has been having. She seems to be having them more recently now. She laid there for hours, just staring at the ceiling, but she finally fell asleep. I just laid there, waiting for the morning. I was thinking about Theresa, what was she dreaming about, she didn't tell anyone, and she hadn't told mother, father, or myself. This worried me, she had always been so happy, but inside I knew something was wrong, something that troubled her so much that she had dreams about it. I just hope she can be happy again, like she used to be.
It's the morning now, mother is out for the day, and she said that she would be back later, she had something to do first. I think that she is out to get Theresa's present, as it is her birthday. I had to get my sister something for her, I haven't been able to think straight, my mind has been other places, and I didn't know what to get her maybe I should ask father. I got dressed for the morning, I was just a small, scrawny boy, I hadn't much so it was the usual, I had my baseball gloves on, my shorts, my t-shirt and my sandals, that had been through so much, I don't know how much longer I was able to wear them before they wouldn't fit or before they broke. I stretched, walked around the small martial house, it had two beds, a book case, an open fire, a small rug, and a wooden chair. The house wasn't furnished well but it was enough to make a home. It was coming up to 8 o'clock. I walked to outside the house, to where my father was waiting. He looked down on me, he was about 6ft, maybe more. His name is Brom. He was wearing a brown and green woodlands outfit. His face was long, but rounded at the end. He had short, brown hair, a light stubble and he had deep hazel eyes. My father was a very understanding human, but I had always a strange connection with mother. Her name is Scarlet, and even though she was never here to spend time with us, as she is normally always out, but when she was here, she was always trying to keep Theresa and I out of harm's way. Looking down at me he asked had a got anything for my sister's birthday, I just looked away and he knew I hadn't. He then told me to go round the town and do some good deeds for the villagers around Oakvale and that he would reward me with a gold piece for each good deed I had done. I shrugged. I didn't talk, I was a mute. I have never talked. Not one word came out my mouth, which I guess is weird. I always expressed what I meant by using my body.
Oakvale was a small, peaceful village, which was located at in the south of Albion. I had never really travelled out of it, but I have always had the wanted to go and venture out, to see more of Albion, to see more than what reaches the eye. In Oakvale there was a tavern, where people of the village went to enjoy themselves and have a drink. A general goods shop where one could things like fishing rods, spades, food, and other useful everyday items. A melee shop, which sold weapons such as swords and cross bows. A storage warehouse which is where goods came in from the bay that some goods came in from overseas by boat, and crop fields where produce was grown. But nothing was open today, because it was a Sunday, so the beach and the shops weren't open.
I strolled down the right side of the hill to start my mission of good deeds. I saw the young girl in the village, Emily. This girl was smaller than me, she had blue eyes. She had brown hair that was in a plait today, and she had a fringe, that was parted in the middle. She wore a white t-shirt underneath her blue t-shirt. Around her waist Emily had a royal purple cloth, which was tied up into a bow at the back. Her skirt was brown, it was poorly sown up, as the stitches we visible and loose, and it had pockets that were made of a darker brown material. Under her skirt she wore trousers; red and blue tartan trousers. Her shoes were the same as mine, yet hers were in better condition compared to mine. Emily's facial expression looked sad, I knew that she was moving today to a town called Bowerstone South, or North, I couldn't remember, but she seemed worried about something else. I walked up to her, and she explained to me about her problem, she had lost her teddy bear, she explained to me that 'Rosie' needed her stuffing changed. I agreed to help her find Rosie. After about five or so minutes, I saw the local the bully, who was Emily's brother, and he was with Emily's friend, I could remember his name at this point in time, which seemed weird. He saw me and pleaded me to get rid of this bully, he explained that he had Rosie, he was looking after it for Emily. Yet her brother was going to rip the head of the bear off. So, being myself, I 'persuaded' the bully to leave the kid alone. Emily's friend gave Rosie to me, saying that she'd be safe with me. I ran back to Emily, her face lit up, and she gave me a smile as I handed her Rosie, she seemed eternally thankful as I did, she then skipped off to prepared for her journey. I knew I had done a good deed so I walked up to where my father was, still standing by the house, he had heard that I had done a good deed so he places one gold piece in my hand. I thought he would have given me more. So I had to continue my adventures.
I strolled down to where the tavern was, the tavern was a large inn where visitors of other towns would sleep for the night, get cheap drink, and gamble in some sort of coin game. I walked past there, to see my friend's mother standing outside the melee shop. She was waving her hand around, this seemed like another good deed to me. I walked up to her, she seemed rather agitated. She just started ranting about how her husband was always off, with some no good woman, and how she was always looking after the children with no help. She asked me to look out for him, and if he was with some 'tart'. So I agreed to help her. I knew for a fact where he'd be. He is normally always around by the end row of houses near where I lived, I sneaked round to where he was, and he was with a lady. He didn't see me at first but, he soon tried to bribe with me with one gold piece to not tell his wife, but I wasn't going to fool for that. I ran back to where his wife was, and I pointed in the direction to where he was, she went running off shouting something like 'I will turn him into Balverine food…' I wasn't sure what that really was, but I followed anyway. She noticed me and thanked me for this, her words seemed to trail off into 'you philandering swine…' I just walked off so I didn't get caught up in this affair. As gossip travels around Oakvale like a bullet, I then went on to see my father. He offered me once gold piece again.
I walked off again, to find some jobs, possibly the storage area had some deeds to be done. The storage area was basically a place where the drinks for the tavern would be kept. It was three barns, they were just simple, plain, brown and red barns, made out of wood. They had been there before I was born, they had a sturdy structure, which meant that they didn't have to be constantly built back up because one of the roofs collapsed. There was a man standing at the entrance, he seemed impatient and his eyes looked worried and he had an odd expression on his face. Once he set eyes on me, he ran over to where I was standing, I just looked at him as he started to talk to me. His voice was soft and gentle and had a slight lisp as he talked. I think that he was suggesting that he needed to go and answer a call of nature, but I knew that he wanted me to stay and look after the barns while he was gone. I nodded in agreement. I stood there, waiting for him to come skipping back. Instead, a little boy came naughtily running along to me. He started to talk to me, he had a slight hunch in his back, and he had dark green eyes. He rubbed his hands together, I wasn't listening, but I think that he was talking about me breaking into the barns, but I just stood there, I wasn't going to be prepared to be shouted at by my father for doing bad deeds, not today anyway. Soon the man came running back, as if he suspected that I would have done something wrong, but he thanked me for doing a good job, and that he'd tell my dad that I'd been such a good lad. The child that had been trying to convince me to do bad deeds was no just hopping around, like he was playing hopscotch, but without the grid.
I was walking through the centre of Oakvale, I passed the guards, and they wore blue uniform, except the joinery was red where pieces of fabric were joined. They wore hats that covered their eyes, and they stood up straight, but slightly arched their backs, so I guess that they were able to see what was going on. Their arms were crossed slightly and had a hand clenching their wrists, and in the other hand, they had their sword. I passed one of the guards and he muttered to me 'have a nice day'. I presume that they had heard of my good deeds too. I walked along, to see other village folk. They all seemed so relaxed and chill, like they had no care in the world. Which was a good thing, I guess. The shops were closed, so I wasn't able to buy a present from there.
I walked up to the house where I lived, father was still there, he looked at me and handed me another piece of gold, told me that he was pleased with what I was doing, but he had more to say this time. He explained to me that there was a trader down by the tavern, and he was able to give me a present with the gold pieces I had earned, also father had told me that Theresa was playing down in the fields by the exit. I waddled down the path way, to find this trader by the tavern. He just stood there staring at the scenery of Oakvale. I walked up to him, he started nattering to me, his voice was husky, his face was dirty from all the travelling and he had a long thin moustache that stuck out from either sides of his face. He knew that it was my sisters birthday, much of heard some talk of the town folk, and he offered me some sweets to give her, at only three gold pieces, all the money that I had earned from my deeds earlier this morning. I passed him the gold coins that were lodged in my pocket. He gave me the sweets, which were a box of chocolates. I ran to the fields where my sister was. She was hopping around merrily, her eyes were big and blue, her light freckles dotted evenly over her face, and her red tinted hair in two ponytails. She wore a long skirt, which looked like cotton, it had a red pattern on the side of the skirt, and she was wearing small poncho, which was also red.
I walked into the field and she told me that she was sorry if she woke me last night, she confirmed to me that it was one of her dreams again. I gave her the present that I had just bought. The expression on her face was happy, and she said that she was glad, and that I didn't forget like last year. She was telling me that mother would be back soon, so we should get going, but I wasn't concentrating properly, I kept on hearing something, but I couldn't quite figure out what it is. Theresa started to walk back, she got to the gates, but before I could start walking, a screaming voice started coming in closer to the entrance. She paused. A man came through the entrance of the village and shouted as loud as he could 'Bandits!' I felt my whole life freeze. Theresa turned back and stuttered the words of 'it's just like my dream!' she ran back to the house. I hid behind a part of the fences, where the grass had over grown.
Bandits ran past in the hundreds, they rain past with rage and anguish in their faces. They just kept on running in to Oakvale, so many of them, all carrying weapons of destruction, some swords, and some cross bows. I had never seen anything like this before. Everything was getting destroyed, burnt down, all there was were screams, things getting set on fire. All that ran through my head was were my family okay, where is mother, and father, and what about Theresa, did she get home safely…all these thoughts going through my head. I was terrified. Dawn soon set in on Oakvale, cries quieted down, all I could do was wait, but I couldn't wait any longer, I had to know. Fire still alight and still rising up into the purple skies. The town of Oakvale still burnt high in the skies, but I needed to leave my spot, they were sure to find me. Corpses lay all across the lanes, but I had to carry on, until I reached my house. I felt as if my heart beat stopped. His body… there lifeless, he was just there. He had fought for his kin, but had failed. There was no sight of Theresa or my mother, I knelt down by my father, I places my hands over my face and the tears just rolled down. I just couldn't believe it, and I won't. I was so confused, I didn't know what was happening. It almost felt as time had just slowed down. Screams went silent, the air felt cold and time froze.
A voice came trembling to my eardrums and I looked up in shock. A bandit came hurdling towards me, my heart stopped and I just watched in horror as he came closer and closer. The air felt thicker as I tried to breathe, my heart was racing faster than ever. Each footstep he made shook the round as he ran. His face grew angrier as he was steps away from me.
Suddenly, the man stopped in his tracks. His pupils grew as he was frozen. My confusion grew as to what was happening. I pulled my hands slowly from my face as the bandit feel to his knees. I presumed he was dead, but I was still weary of going near him. A man stood behind him, he lowered his hand. He was slicked back white hair, a long scarlet robe, and his face was hard as stone, yet he was obviously a man of Will as he had a glow in his hands. His trousers were tight at the top and became looser as they went down. He asked me if I wanted to live, and then said to me 'then take my hand boy.' His voice was deep, and I knew he wasn't playing around. My mind went through a million decisions as I got to my feet, what was my fate if I stayed here, what will happen if I go with him, maybe a worse fate? I don't know, all I could guess is that it was better than this mess. I grabbed his hand, he wore a fingerless glove which was worn. A wave of teleportation grew around him and myself. The glow was blinding, I placed my forearm over my eyes.
We were in another destination. The land was still countryside, but the trees were more clustered to the sides as a brick wall separated the path from the vegetation.
I felt sick, all that had happened, all that I had seen, all that I had felt. Everything was too much, I couldn't keep anything down. I vomited. I hadn't eaten much today, except this morning before I came out, and that wasn't even that much, but I brought it all up. He turned round and glanced at me, in total disgust. Looking at me, he turned around. I was obviously not to his expectations, whatever they were. He carried on walking, I walked along holding my stomach, and we walked down a hill, the sunlight was just hitting over a large building, it was soon to be morning. On the left of the building, there was a large stand, it had pillars around it, and had red material, it looked old, and well looked after as the brick work was clean. This appeared to be something important to someone. In the corner of the right there was a small stall, it wasn't that big, just big enough to place some items. It was made of wood, with a white and purple cloth hanging over the limbs of the stall. The sun hit over the building, a moment of, what it seemed to be, peace. The doors of the building were a dark brown wood, carefully built to make sure there were no draft let it. It had a sign of it, which I presumed was the sign of this building, but the building was, confused me. The man pulled the door open, and we entered the building.
The building was huge inside. Entering the door we encountered some stairs, which lead us up to a round table that had a 3D replica of the map of Albion. I still didn't know where we were, but I knew I wasn't near Oakvale anymore. The floor was cold and some of it was covered in red, where people walked, not to the edges. A man stood to the top of the table on the right. He wore a long trench coat, colours off dark sea green and a golden colour for the outlines of certain parts of his garment. He held his hands close to himself. He had a long face that pushed out his cheek bones, to make his face look old and wise. He had no hair, except from the moustache on his face. He looked down on to me, he had deep blue eyes, and bags around his eyes, many long nights, many stressful moments I presume. The man who brought me here introduced me to him, the Guildmaster. He opened his mouth and said "you don't look like Hero material to me. But I guess maze knows what he's doing, I suppose. Well, follow me then" He lead me up the stairs, to where there were rooms, he turned right when he got into the main rooms, he shown me into the room where I guessed I would be staying in for now, a girl was there. She was dark skinned, and she had big blue eyes, just like Theresa did. She wore an outfit, a cotton one, she had rolled up sleeves and had the bottom half of the outfit ended about half way down her thigh... The Guildmaster said that I would be sharing this room, with the girl, Whisper.
After a while of staring I laid on my bed, staring at the ceiling, thinking about everything that happened, the flames still burned in my mind, all that I saw… all that I felt.
The guild was now my home.

PETERBOROUGH, NH — Jeb Bush admitted Thursday that Donald Trump might just clinch the Republican nomination despite his own objections to the frontrunner's bombastic style and general election prospects.
"If Donald Trump wins the nomination, and he might, Hillary Clinton will beat him like a drum," he said. "Just tear him up. I mean, it will be ugly to watch."
Bush has assured voters for months that his slow and steady strategy would ultimately win the race to the nomination — even as his candidacy sunk below expectations and Trump continued to rise.
The governor even carries small tortoise figurines in his pocket that he gives to children at campaign events to illustrate the fable he hopes could be a model for his eventual ascent.
"I think we need a president who has been tested in his life, someone who has a steady hand and someone that you can look back and say he has been a committed conservative from day one," he said. "You look at the Florida record and I promise you're looking at that guy."
That was the message during a three-day swing through New Hampshire, where Bush saw larger than normal crowds and encouraged voters not to squander a vote on Trump.
"You make us walk through the hot coals," he said. "I have enough confidence in the voters of New Hampshire that you'll make the right decision of who our party's nominee will be."
That trust, however, appeared not to be ironclad when Bush told the Washington Post in an interview that "Trump's the front-runner and there's a jump ball for second."
It's a small shift in tone for Bush, who had been previously adamant that Trump wouldn't capture the Republican nomination. The governor has been a proud champion of the anti-Trump cause by frequently touting his willingness to combat the frontrunner while other candidates take a pass.

A book on water has garnered Wilfrid Laurier University Press its first nomination for a Governor General's Award for literature.

The Memory of Water, a collection of short stories and artwork by Allen Smutylo, is one of five books nominated in the non-fiction category.

Smutylo, who lives on the Bruce Peninsula, is also a finalist in the adventure travel category of the 2013 Banff Mountain Book Competition. He won the award in 2007 for his first book, Wild Places, Wild Heart: Nomads of the Himalaya.

The book's local connection is particularly timely, since the theme of water is flowing throughout Waterloo Region.

Themuseum is presenting the international exhibition Surface Tension: The Future of Water through Jan. 5.

In conjunction with the downtown Kitchener museum, Wilfrid Laurier University is presenting a lecture series, Waterloo Dialogues, from Oct. 20 through Dec. 4.

Finally, in conjunction with Themuseum, the Princess Cinema is screening Watermark, a new film by Edward Burtynsky and Jennifer Baichwal, on Oct. 24 at Princess Twin Cinemas.

The nomination has left WLU Press director Brian Henderson in "high spirits."

"It took my breath away," Henderson recalled after receiving notification of the nomination.

"It's some kind of a dream. You don't expect such nominations for a scholarly press."

The Memory of Water was published as part of the press's ongoing Life Writing series.

With more than 50 works, the series features life writing and life-writing criticism and theory that promotes autobiographical accounts, diaries, letters and testimonials written or told by people whose political, literary or philosophical purposes are central to their lives.

Although it is impossible to predict the impact of the nomination on the press's publishing program, Henderson speculated that the news might attract more submissions of a similar nature.

Henderson suggested the nomination provides "a good showcase for the series" and "highlights the range of the series."

For more than three decades, Smutylo has circumnavigated the globe, writing and creating artwork chronicling his travels. His destinations have included some of the most remote and desolate places on earth — the High Arctic, Patagonia, the Amazon, Antarctica, the Himalaya, the Ganges and Rajasthan.

The 10 autobiographical short stories and artwork comprising The Memory of Water outlines his personal relationship with water.

Readers accompany the adventurer on his travels, as he is attacked by a polar bear, stalked by a rogue walrus and almost drowns in treacherous waters.

Other stories are tamer, including his account of living in a Georgian Bay fishing village as a young artist or enjoying an urban river in southwestern Ontario.

He encounters the complexity of water while visiting the Ganges, in India, and finding a massive misuse of water that a billion people revere as sacred.

Smutylo described the nomination as "a surprising, pleasant shock."

"It wasn't at the top of my list or anywhere on my list," he noted over the phone from his home in Big Bay.

Smutylo began his artistic career depicting the lives of fisherman who earned their livelihood out of Tobermory, a small community at the northern tip of the Bruce Peninsula.

He then lived to Newfound before the collapse of the cod fishery.

He began travelling abroad, first venturing to Labrador and Greenland, after moving to Owen Sound, prior to moving eventually to Big Bay.

"I didn't start travelling the world by predesign," he affirmed. "One thing led to another."

Not a thrill-seeker by nature, he found comfort in danger by "putting myself in situations that excited my creativity."

He has always been attracted to water.

"I have always lived by the water or on the water," he confirmed.

"When people from the city visit, they begin relaxing as soon as we grab drinks and sit by the water. You can feel the tension leaving their bodies. It's very therapeutic."

It's the "simultaneous joy and fear" of water that appeals to his imagination.

"Experiencing the hidden world of water's three dimensions is endlessly fascinating."

Winners, who will be announced Nov. 13 at a news conference in Toronto, will receive $25,000, while finalists receive $1,000. Winners will be celebrated during a ceremony at Ottawa's Rideau Hall on Nov. 28.

Sing! Karaoke is a free app available for iOS and Android that lets you sing along with other users all over the world. While you can use Sing! Karaoke like any other karaoke app, playing for points or practicing your own performances, you can also join someone else's duet or group performance at any time without having to pay for the music track. For access to all songs, however, there's a pretty steep fee.Features
A karaoke party for all. Smule, the developer of Sing! Karaoke, says its mission is "connecting the world through music." Thus, the focus of this app isn't just singing music but sharing it. You can invite friends from social media to join your performances, and you can record your group efforts to post on the web, adding vocal effects if you wish. It's also possible to use Sing! Karaoke as a game, earning points for hitting the right notes, but it's the sharing features that set this app apart from others.Pros
A bit clunky. One unique feature of Sing! Karaoke is its global view, which lets you view uploaded vocal tracks by location. However, reviewer Dale Culp of 148Apps.com considers this view a "fancy trick" that doesn't work particularly well. He prefers the song-view mode, in which you can sort songs by date or popularity, but overall he considers the interface a bit clunky. Also, like most karaoke apps, Sing! Karaoke gets a few complaints about glitches from Android users. Some say it's hard to load songs, while others complain that it skips, crashes or takes forever to save a track.
Costs are confusing. Sing! Karaoke is a free app, and there's a small selection of songs you can download and sing free of charge. However, to access most of the 1,000-plus songs in the catalogue -- particularly the top hits -- you'll need credits, which you can earn in a variety of ways. The simplest is to pay for a subscription ($3 per week, $8 per month or $40 per year). However, you can also pick up a few credits by viewing advertising videos or signing up for online services, such as mailing lists. Kit Eaton of The New York Times says trying to earn credits is the most frustrating thing about this app.
1. 148Apps.com
Dale Culp, Aug. 24, 2012
Dale Culp gives the iOS version of the Sing! Karaoke app an overall rating of 3.5 stars out of 5, with 4.5 stars for iOS integration, 3 for user interface and 3.5 for reuse/replay value. He says the app "can be an awful lot of fun," but the interface gets a thumbs-down.
Practice for 'The Voice' by Using Yours with Mobile Karaoke, Kit Eaton, Feb. 13, 2013
Kit Eaton describes the Sing! Karaoke app as a cross between a karaoke player and a point-earning game. He says it's "polished graphically" and includes up-to-date songs and interesting audio effects, but earning credits for new song tracks can be a frustrating experience.
3. Google Play
Sing! Karaoke by Smule, Contributors to Google Play, As of March 2014
We found 35,000-plus reviews for Sing! Karaoke on Google Play. Users give the app 3.9 stars out of 5 overall, the highest rating we've seen for an Android karaoke app. While most users describe the app as tons of fun, there are many complaints about glitches.
4. iTunes
Sing! Karaoke by Smule, Contributors to iTunes, As of March 2014
There more than 230 reviews for the current version of Sing! Karaoke at Apple's iTunes store, and all versions have amassed roughly 44,000 ratings -- more than we've seen for any other karaoke app. Both the current and previous versions earn ratings of 4.5 stars out of 5.

|Francesco Schettino, captain of the Costa Concordia,
is taken into custody Saturday.
Two survivors on the Costa Concordia have been found inside the ship, Italy's ANSA news agency reported early Sunday. The man and woman have responded to the rescuers, but have not yet been reached, according to the news agency.
With perhaps up to 50 people unaccounted for, divers suspended their efforts at dark, with plans to resume the search in the azure waters off the island of Giglio at dawn Sunday.
Accounts of the chaos from many of the 3,200 passengers were reminiscent of a maritime disaster 100 years ago this April -- the loss of the RMS Titanic.
"For me, the worst part of the whole ordeal" was when a lifeboat crew member told those boarding that it was "women and children first," said passenger Benji Smith of Boston.

How to get a work permit in Moscow
Foreign citizens must obtain a Russian work permit to legally work in Russia. Here's a guide to organising a Russian work visa.
Employeesin Moscow
If you want to work in Russia, you will need to be registered and get a work permit issued by the Federal Migration Service (FMS). The work permit is an official document in the form of a plastic card which can be obtained by applying to the FMS. The application takes about 10 days to be processed. If the permit is given, you can legally be employed in Russia by a company, or you can become self-employed. The cost of a work permit is RUB 1000 (around EUR 25).
Foreign citizens living in Moscow who have a temporary or full residence permit do not need to get a separate work permit. There are also some other special categories of people who do not need a work permit. You do not need one if you:
- study or work in Russia during holidays,
- are acknowledged as a reporter or teacher in Russia,
- have been invited to work at an educational institute,
- certain other special categories.
People who have a profession requiring obligatory licenses or qualifications, such as general practitioners and lawyers, should submit a copy of their notarised diploma. The diploma also needs to be translated into Russian.
A work permit can only be used for the profession for which the permit was given. Also, you can only work in the regions mentioned in the permit. If you would like to work in several regions simultaneously, it should be mentioned in the initial application.
Once the work permit is issued, you should find gainful employed within 90 days, otherwise you will be expected to leave Russia. If you are working, but you have to leave Russia temporarily, you do not have to apply for another permit: the work permit will stay valid for the period of time for which it was issued.
You should never trust non-governmental agents or suspicious companies with your work permit application. It might be possible to get your documents from somewhere other than the Federal Migration Service (FMS), but you should be careful and check their authenticity, otherwise you risk both losing your money and being expelled from Russia. Therefore, the safest solution is simply to apply via the FMS.
Employers in Moscow
Employers require a permit to be able to hire foreign workers, and the company needs to be registered at the Department of the Federal Migration Service. Without a permit, the company risks being caught and faces heavy fines. The cost of a permit for hiring foreign workforce is RUB 3000 (around EUR 74).
Employers are also in charge of providing the employees with a set of documents which needs to be returned to the Migration Service within 90 days. This procedure completes the employment process. The documents include a health certificate stating that the applicant is not infected with HIV, does not have a drug addiction or any contagious diseases. Once a company has taken on a foreign worker with a legal permit, the company has to notify the Employment Service and the Tax Service within 10 days.
In 2010, a foreign labour quota of 200,000 workers was allocated for Moscow.

About MeHello. Thank you for checking out my portfolio. If you're interested in working with me please contact me on here and I will get back to you as quickly as possible.
A little bit about me; I'm a photographer based in London and I am in the middle of doing my degree. As a result I constantly have a wide range of projects that I need to photograph, for my course, and for that I need models. So I am offering TFP shoots where I do the images for my course and at the same time help you grow your portfolio with some different images.
If you are in London, or indeed elsewhere in the UK, and are interested in working with a photographer to help build your portfolio then I would love for you to get in touch!
Most of my work is location based and I often rely on natural light but I am very comfortable in a studio environment too and have the facilities if the shoot requires it.
Thanks for reading this and I look forward to working with you soon!

Yes, the ingredients that you saw in yesterday's post, show up again today. But isn't that one of the challenges that we face on a constant basis…how to use up leftovers in a creative, or if not creative, at least in an appetizing way. So, I had some of the roasted peppers leftover and some of the goat cheese, and I had been craving pizza lately. Do you ever do that, get stuck on a food? I had pizza 3 times in the past week, I finally feel like I've saturated my need for pizza for a while. I made a garlic infused olive oil to brush on the crust and used my favorite bread machine pizza dough recipe, only this time I was actually smart enough to make double the dough recipe and freeze one ball of it. Why have I not been doing that in the past???? Also for the pizza dough, I substitued the whey from the drained yogurt (from making yogurt cheese)for the water in the recipe, and it was great. It gave the dough a slightly tangy flavor, almost like a sourdough, but not quite.
Hi this is really a nice blog article about pizza and peppers.. I found this (http://www.comparemywiki.com) nice site about comparing any two things on the Internet. The results are based on the articles published in Wikipedia.org. I compared goat cheese and cow cheese.
This nice site has been surprisingly designed by an India based company Huge H Web Services (http://www.HugeH.com). This was unexpected by me as I had always believed that the Indian companies were mainly good at BPO jobs and other software services outsourcing.

that pizza lokks deleesh!
i could eat the whole fridge just by looking at the pic. really really tempting…
awesome pics! congrats on being a blog of note btw!
feel free to check out my blog anytime!
Roasted sweet peppers and tart goat cheese…perfect food balance.
Great topping combo for a pizza!
your crust looks great! and yes, i get stuck on food all the time. i tend to eat a food until i get sick of it and then move on to something else. and repeat. and repeat. and repeat. 🙂
I think it sounds delicious! I love it, especially the goat addition.
I want that pizza. Really, I want THAT pizza. How clever that you used the whey from the drained yogurt, and that garlic infused olive oil you mentioned has set me to drooling. YUM! Great photo!
Oh my word….I'm drooling…
I second Pam's statement that your pictures are great! But in my house, we never have to deal with leftovers. Those which are not consumed by the hungry hordes for dinner become someone's lunch the next day. I am surprised we have had no fistfights over who gets the leftovers.
You take such great pictures. This pizza is calling my name.
Hmmmm, I have leftover goat cheese and leftover roasted red peppers too. And a couple of artichoke hearts, and a few olives. I feel a pizza coming on!

How fearless can a barrister afford to be when representing a defendant at a criminal trial? That's the question at the heart of a high-profile disciplinary hearing that opened on Thursday.
Lawrence McNulty, who has practised as a barrister for more than 28 years and is described as a "leading junior", denies five charges of professional misconduct arising from a terrorist trial in the summer of 2011. The charges were brought by the Bar Standards Board (BSB), which regulates the profession, and are being heard by a five-person disciplinary tribunal of the inns of court chaired by a retired circuit judge.
The allegations against McNulty achieved some notoriety last summer when they were referred to by Lord Judge in the last judgment he delivered as lord chief justice. Giving judgment on behalf of himself and two other appeal judges, Judge referred to McNulty's "flagrant misconduct and alleged professional incompetence" while the barrister was representing his client, Munir Farooqi, at a trial in Manchester.
The appeal judges' remarks about McNulty – made as they dismissed Farooqi's appeal against conviction and sentence – form no part of the disciplinary case against the barrister. William Clegg QC, who is representing McNulty, told the disciplinary tribunal in written submissions that "much of what has been said elsewhere has been the result of misinformation and has been said without any knowledge of the defence that the tribunal are to hear".
Opening the case for the BSB, Adrian Darbyshire QC told the disciplinary tribunal that there had been "something of a falling-out" between McNulty and the judge who was presiding over Farooqi's trial, Mr Justice Henriques. But whatever differences barristers and judges might have, Darbyshire continued, counsel still retained an overriding duty to the court.
Farooqi was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum term of nine years. He and two other defendants were convicted of engaging in conduct in preparation for acts of terrorism. They and a fourth defendant, who was acquitted, were accused of conduct designed to radicalise individuals to commit violent jihad in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Farooqi ran a Da'wah stall in Manchester promoting Islamic material. He was the main target of a covert surveillance operation conducted by two undercover police officers, who posed as vulnerable and isolated individuals. There was no challenge to the propriety of the police operation. The case against Farooqi turned on what he had meant by comments he made to the police officers, which were secretly recorded.
The first disciplinary charge against McNulty is that, in his closing speech for Farooqi, he advanced submissions alleging entrapment by the police officers, contrary to a ruling by the judge "that there must be no further pursuit of the non-existent defence of entrapment in any guise in the presence of the jury".
McNulty's response, according to Clegg, was that he had not advanced such a defence in his speech. Such a defence could be advanced only by a defendant who admitted an offence, which Farooqi did not.
Charge two against McNulty was that he suggested to the jury in his closing speech that Henriques might be biased. McNulty had said:
You must take care that you do not let [his lordship's warm and generous approach to your welfare] turn into what lawyers describe as undue influence … Undue influence is … when you accept the validity of what someone has said, not because you have critically considered it but simply because it has been said by somebody that you like and you respect and perhaps trust. After all, when you meet with a salesman, he does not start off his sales patter by insulting you, does he? He may … be friendly, but that does not mean what he is selling is worth anything, does it?
Darbyshire told the tribunal, in written submissions, that to invite a jury to approach the summing-up with the same caution as they would show towards sales patter was properly capable of being regarded as prejudicial to the interests of justice.
In response, Clegg argued that McNulty had not accused Henriques of bias. The charge was only that McNulty had suggested the judge might have been biased. "If a defence advocate believes that a judge might slant his summing-up in favour of the prosecution, it is not professional misconduct to warn a jury of this possibility," Clegg wrote. "In a jury trial, justice has nothing to fear from a suggestion that a judge is biased and the system ought to have sufficient faith in juries to come to a true verdict whatever an advocate says about a judge."
The third charge against McNulty was that he had impugned witnesses without having given them an opportunity to answer the allegations against them. Clegg advanced detailed responses to all the remarks relied on by the BSB, adding at one point that it was not necessarily professional misconduct for an advocate to "say something in a long speech that he ought not to have said".
Charge four, in summary, accuses McNulty of not notifying the prosecution in good time of the defences he would be raising, requirements which Darbyshire said had been designed "to prevent trials being derailed by the tactic of ambush". Clegg's response was that notice had been given promptly once it had been decided that these submissions would be made.
The final charge against McNulty was that he made assertions in his closing speech "in a manner calculated to give the jury a false impression as to the status of those submissions". The BSB alleged that McNulty "crossed the line between making argument as to permissible inferences which might be drawn and telling the jury what evidence his lay client could or would have given had he chosen to do so". In response, Clegg said it was not accepted "that McNulty did any more than invite the jury to draw an inference from evidence they had heard that was different to the inference the Crown were inviting the jury to draw and consistent with innocence".
Darbyshire spent Thursday taking the tribunal through passages in the trial transcript. The hearing, which had a time estimate of two days, continues on Friday but is then likely to be adjourned for further argument in some weeks' time.

BeschreibungHow were Chinese pots made, glazed and fired? Why did China discover porcelain more than 1,000 years before the West? What are the effects of China's influence on world ceramics? These questions (and many more) are answered in this history of Chinese ceramic technology, from the late Stone Age to the twenty-first century AD. The non-specialist reader will appreciate its unique coverage of research materials originally published in several languages.

Pressestimmen'... huge and unique work of scholarship ... huge and unique work of scholarship ... huge and unique work of scholarship ... there is much to learn on the impact of this technology around the world from the seventh to the 21st centuries.' Antiques Trade Gazette 'Kerr and Wood are to be congratulated on this authoritative contribution to our understanding of Chinese ceramic technology.' Asian Affairs '... an amazing compilation of comprehensive and up-to-date information on the history of Chinese ceramic technology ... the authors have presented the information in a clear manner that makes it accessible to the non-technical reader ... well worth waiting for ... It will stand as the definitive work on this subject for the foreseeable future.' Northern Ceramic Society Newsletter '... one can find information about almost every aspect of Chinese ceramics with well-chosen, cogent references to follow up. ... In its breadth and depth of coverage this book is unprecedented in the literature on East Asian ceramics. It is also a very suitable addition to the Needham series, which continues both to record and advance our knowledge of Chinese science and civilization.' Journal of the School of Oriental and African Studies '... comprehensive study ... the authors' impressive grasps of historical sources ... this book is indispensable for those interested in Chinese ceramics and the history of science ... Rose Kerr and Nigel Wood are to be congratulated for this landmark achievement.' Ming Studies 'This part in itself provides what will doubtless become an invaluable reference for students and scholars of Chinese ceramics. The following parts (clays, kilns, manufacturing methods and sequences, glazes, pigments, enamels and gilding) provide and exceptionally detailed study of the Chinese ceramic tradition in all its rich diversity. The seventh part deals with the transfer of Chinese ceramic technology to the rest of the world. ... there is plenty to keep an avid reviewer engaged, and the story Kerr and Wood tell is laced with a multitude of remarkable facts and juicy human interest morsels. ... The book is copiously illustrated throughout, making good use of contemporary drawing and prints, notable the illustrations from the Thien Kung Wu (AD 1637) showing a variety of kiln-related activities. There is no question that Ceramic Technology represents a great leap forward, a distillation of knowledge which earlier generations of Chinese ceramicists would have wanted to keep a closely guarded secret, and a testament to the remarkable history of innovation and tradition of continuous ceramic production in China.'

The Perfect OutfitMature
Sebastian stopped inside of the mens clothing store and looked for the racks that held the more classy clothes.
He spotted them over in the left corner and walked over there with his trembling hands shoved into his pockets.
Things with Cole had gone better than he had expected, Cole was shocked yet happy that Sebastian and Thane had a date. He wasn't angry or even upset. For once Cole was happy for Sebastian, in fact he was so happy, he chose to help him pick out his outfit.
"Bas, come here!" Cole shouted from the other side of the clothing store.
Sebastian winced and shuffled over to him with his head ducked slightly. Other shoppers were looking at Cole with frowns or looks of curiousty. Sebastian's face heated in embarassment as he hurried over to Cole.
"Keep your voice down." He hissed at Cole through clenched teeth. Cole smiled and held up a dark blue button down shirt.
"What do you think?" He asked him witha grin. Sebastian eyed it closely then shook his head.
"Too bland." Sebastian said to him. Cole sighed and out it back on the rack and walked over to the next one and sorted through the shirts.
Sebastian blew out a breath and looked around the store again.
He wanted his outfit to be perfect, everything had to be perfect. It was Thane he was going on a date with, he had to look sharp and the best he could possibly look.
Sebastian paused when something behind the counter caught his eye. His eyes widened as he wondered over to the counter and pointed up at the blood red silk shirt that shone in the shops overhead lights.
"Could I please see that shirt?" He asked the clerk behind the counter. The clerk smiled at him and bent behind the counter and handed over a red silk shirt.
Sebastian ran his hands over it in wonder as he checked the size and smiled. "I'll take it." He says and pushed it back to the clerk.
He strolled out of the shop with the bag clutched tightly within his hand. Cole scuttled out of the shop with three shopping bags stuffed with clothes clenched tightly within his hands. He grinned at Sebastian and nodded at his bags.
"They were all on sale, so I thought that I'd get them." Cole said in excitement. Sebastian smiled at him and shook his head.
"Want to go get some lunch before we move on the pants and shoes?" He asked Cole.
Cole nodded and started walking to a nearby café. Just before they reached the café Sebastian noticed a watch in the window of a jewllery store. He walked into the store and looked at the watch in amazement. Cole strode in and whistled when he saw the watch.
"Wow Bas, that is a really nice watch." He said. Sebastian nodded and peered at it closely.
"It is." He breathed in awe. Sebastian had to have that watch, right then his silk shirt seemed so mundane compared to the watch.
It was a white gold watch with a pearl white face plate and shiny silver roman numerals as the numbers.
He had to have it.
Sebastian had the feint thought that her was going over the top with this date but he didn't care. He wanted to look his best and he knew, in his gut that with that watch he'd feel like he was at his best. There weren't many things in Sebastian's life that he treasured but this date with Thane blows everything he owns right out of the water.
He waved to one of the store clerks and pointed at the watch.
"I'll take that please." Sebastian said as he pulled out his wallet and without blinking at the price of the watch he paid for it and again strolled out of the store happily.
Cole wondered out behind him and smiled softly at Sebastian.
"He really must be that special to you Bas." Cole whispered to him. Sebastian nodded.
"He is." Sebastian whispered. Cole nodded and reached out to stroke his thumb over Sebastian's cheek.
"Then he is a very lucky man." Cole said to him softly. Sebastian's eyes filled with tears at Cole's words. His breath hitched slightly as he smiled a small smile past his clogged throat.
"Thank you." He whispered to Cole.
Cole nodded and removed his hand.
"Shall we eat then?" He asked as he started toward the café again. Sebastian nodded and followed behind him.
And with each step that he took, his heart felt light, Sebastian felt almost at peace. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to finally getting out of the shadow that his and Cole's break-up and caused.
Sebastian smiled. Things were finally going the way he liked.
Now all he had to do was count down the days left until possibly the best night of his life.

Reynolds Strike SLG Carbon Clincher Wheelset
If you have a need for speed and lack the budget of successful financial advisor, the Reynolds Strike SLG Carbon Clincher Wheelset may well be your new wheelset. The 62mm rim profile has been designed to best suit triathlon and time trial, but can deliver clear benefits on rolling terrain or in longer road races. Criterium riders who favor a stiff, stable and responsive wheelset will also love the Strike SLG. Basically, if you love to compete, crave aero speed, and optimum results, Reynolds knows who you are, and has made you a high performance wheelset.
The challenge has not been how to make a wheel fast, or aero. These developments have been evolving for years, with incredible results. But how can the wheel be stable, stiff, and still ride well? Reynolds mates the 62mm profile with the now standard 25mm external rim width. Mated with a 25mm tire, the handling and ride quality is superb for such a deep section rim. The extra stability and larger contact patch of the tire makes cornering at speed safe and predictable. The wheels also perform better in cross winds and at greater yaw angles, keeping you in charge of where you the bike is going, not the wind. These details are crucial. The more comfortable you are with speed and handling, the less you fight the bike and simply let it rip.
Aerodynamically, Reynolds uses Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimize the shape and function of the rim and wheel build.From this process, SLG was born. SLG refers to a technology that Reynolds has developed, called a Swirl Lip Generator. It refers to a small lip on the crown of the rim on both sides. It's role is to significantly reduce drag by smoothing turbulence and pressure drag. The Strike SLG features an Enhanced SLG, and wind tunnel testing shows it helps to reduce drag by about 20% (from the same rim design, without SLG), in order to make the wheel faster.
Reynolds sources aerospace-quality carbon fiber from Japan, developed specifically to Reynolds specifications. For the Strike SLG, they employ their PR3 methodology, precisely assigning different carbon fiber lay-ups to three distinct regions of the rim. Each lay-up (fiber, resin, and epoxy) is optimized for the specific requirements of that area. For example, the strength requirement of the rim hook bead is much different from the rim shell profile and the brake track has its own parameters. As such, these areas have different construction. Reynolds considerable experience in cycling and working with carbon composites inform these decisions, just as it has in developing the CTg Braking System. CTg is an acronym for Cryogenic Glass Transition and is comprised of very specific carbon and resin combinations to help dissipate heat at the exterior of the rim surface to enhance braking performance. Testing shows this reduces heat buildup by 53%, which keeps the inside of the rim much cooler than the exterior, essential for performance and safety. Proprietary Cryo-Blue Power brake pads are included with the wheelset and work in conjunction with the brake track to deliver the powerful, consistent braking while keeping things cool.
The Strike SLG Carbon Clincher features DT Aerocomp bladed spokes laced to Reynolds hubs, using DT alloy nipples. The cartridge bearing hubs are which are as smooth and durable as they are simple to maintain. The front wheel's 16 spokes are radially laced at high tension for lateral stiffness and aerodynamics. The 20 rear spokes are laced 1x on the drive side and radial on the non-drive, and when tensioned on the stout 25mm rim, the effect is immediate propulsion when you put the power down. The rim itself has 17mm internal width, and is designed for tubeless ready tires, as well as standard clinchers. Between the aerodynamics, quality design and construction, tubeless ready status, and wind tunnel and real life proven performance, the Strike SLG is an exceptional wheelset. The fact that it is available for under $2000 makes one stand up and take notice. That will only be eclipsed by the feeling you get as you blister your first ride.

I have been racing all disciplines for 30 years. After using tubeless in XC for several years, I finally wanted a Carbon Aero Tubeless Reliable Fast clincher wheelset to race and train on. Did not know what to expect really. The folks at Excel sent me this pair of Strike SLGs and 2 days later, I was in East Flanders for 10 days, near Oudenaarde during Spring 2016. I did an average of 100kms per day and one Kermesse at the end. Training routes outside my door included Oude Kwaremont, Taainberg, Lange Munte, Paadestrat(Extra Nasty), and every other Straat and Berg in all the Spring Races from Omloop to RVV. I did not go easy on these wheels and it was raining everyday all day. Tubeless was run at 85 PSI no problems. I weigh over 200 lbs. At the end of the trip I returned home to Cali and inspected everything. This wheelset even after all that beating, was NOT 1 mm out of true.... I ordered a second pair the same week. Just buy them already. They Seriously Rock.
Pros Fast, Durable, Tubeless, Perfect for Flanders
Cons None

"Mountains of the Mind" pursues an investigation into our emotional and imaginative responses to mountains, and how these have changed over the last few centuries. It is rich with literary and historical references, and punctuated by descriptions of the author's own climbing experiences. There are chapters on glaciers, geology, the pursuit of fear, the desire to explore the unknown and the desire to get to the summit, and the book ends with a gripping account of Mallory's attempt on Everest.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Three centuries ago, mountains were considered forbidding and forbidden?the abodes of dragons and other ill-tempered grotesque beasts. But with the growing recognition that the Earth?s surface had not been created once and for all but was slowly evolving, mountains came to be seen as the unexplored text of the Earth?s story?a terrain that scientists, adventurers, naturalists, and, finally, travelers began to explore. In Mountains of the Mind, Robert Macfarlane blends cultural history, meditation, and memoir to show how early geologists helped transform our perceptions of the wild, chaotic landscapes; how the allure of height increasingly drew fearless climbers, culminating in the romantic figure of George Mallory, the passionate Englishman who died on Mount Everest in 1924; and how the elemental beauty of snow and ice coalesced into an aesthetic of the sublime.
Mountains of the Mind is at once an enthralling work of history, an intimate account of Macfarlane?s own experiences, and a beautifully written meditation on how memory, landscape, imagination, and the landscape of mountains are joined together in our minds and under our feet.
From the Hardcover edition.
Combining accounts of legendary mountain ascents with vivid descriptions of his own forays into wild, high landscapes, Robert McFarlane reveals how the mystery of the world's highest places has came to grip the Western imagination--and perennially draws legions of adventurers up the most perilous slopes.
His story begins three centuries ago, when mountains were feared as the forbidding abodes of dragons and other mysterious beasts. In the mid-1700s the attentions of both science and poetry sparked a passion for mountains; Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Lord Byron extolled the sublime experiences to be had on high; and by 1924 the death on Mt Everest of an Englishman named George Mallory came to symbolize the heroic ideals of his day. Macfarlane also reflects on fear, risk, and the shattering beauty of ice and snow, the competition and contemplation of the climb, and the strange alternate reality of high altitude, magically enveloping us in the allure of mountains at every level.

Moonrocks Nevada
2 Attachment(s)
One of the guys I work with he and I went to the moonrocks. This was my first time there. It is a cool place. This was the first time I tested my self and my TJ. Here are a couple pics
Looks like a perfect spot to test articulation
There were 4 rock crawler there and one had busted a 3rd member. And there were trying to get it fixed. That was my first and it won't be the last . Mine is the silver one.
I have always wanted to go there. It's high on my wheeling bucket list.
Me are talking about going back out next weekend if we don't go to dog valley with Reno 4x4
That's awesome. Nothing like that over here in pa
We have a different run all the time from trails to rock crawling here in northern Nevada
Looks like fun...Wish we had something like that near here...

Stop and search powers at ports and airports – used to detain the partner of the Guardian journalist Glenn Greenwald for nine hours during the summer – are too intrusive, according to a parliamentary committee.
A report by the joint committee on human rights (JCHR) welcomes government promises to curtail powers contained in schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000 but says officers must have a "reasonable suspicion" of any passenger's involvement in terrorism before they can download and retain the contents of mobile phones or laptops.
MPs and peers on the committee are calling for these further restrictions to be imposed on the stop and search system when the reforms come before the House of Commons as part of the government's antisocial behaviour, crime and policing bill on Monday. The government has already promised to narrow the scope of the schedule 7 powers.
In its report, the JCHR says there should be a legal distinction between powers that can be used without reasonable suspicion – such as questioning, requesting documentation and physically searching persons and property – and more invasive powers.
"In our view, the … more intrusive powers [such as detention, strip-searching, searching the contents of personal electronic devices, the taking of biometric samples, seizure and retention of property] should be exercisable only if the examining officer reasonably suspects that the person is or has been involved in terrorism."
It adds: "We therefore recommend that the bill be amended to introduce a reasonable suspicion requirement before the more intrusive powers under schedule 7 are exercisable. We recommend that the reasonable suspicion threshold be introduced at the point at which the person being examined is formally detained, which the bill requires to happen after an hour of questioning."
The JCHR report refers to the arrest at Heathrow airport in August of David Miranda, the partner of Greenwald, who wrote the first Guardian stories based on intelligence material leaked by Edward Snowden. Miranda, a Brazilian national, was in transit between Berlin and Rio de Janeiro.
Miranda was detained and questioned for nine hours. His electronic devices were seized and detained by the police under schedule 7 powers. He has launched a judicial review of the decision to hold him and confiscate material. The action is against the home secretary, Theresa May, and the Metropolitan police.
Hywel Francis MP, chair of the JCHR, said: "My committee welcomes the improvements that this bill makes to the very wide counter-terrorism power to stop, question and detain people at ports and airports. Given the current nature of the threat from international terrorism, we also accept that the government has made out the case for having an unusual power to stop, question and search travellers without suspicion.
"However, recent events have brought to the world's attention how extraordinarily broad those powers are. They include the power to detain somebody, to take their mobile phone and laptop and download all the information on it, and to take biometric samples, all without reasonable suspicion. Most people would be shocked to know that the police have such extensive powers which could be exercised in relation to anyone, whether suspicious or not."
Shami Chakrabarti, director of the human rights campaign group Liberty, said: "David Miranda's nine-hour detention lifted the lid on the scandal of schedule 7 and now one of parliament's most influential cross-party committees has echoed the growing call for reform.
"But papering over the cracks of this dangerous, overbroad power won't achieve anything – schedule 7 is ripe for abuse, regularly wielded in discriminatory fashion and must be repealed without delay."
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) has filed papers at the high court after the Metropolitan police refused to reveal the results of investigations into its use of the powers.
Legal action calling for a judicial review was taken in "direct response" to complaints by community groups that innocent Muslims had been targeted, the IPCC said.
