Tom Williams
Gentle folk sounds. They have been raising eyebrows amongst fans, who now number the likes of Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and Tom Robinson, taking their well known ear for a melody into new and darker musical territory.

George Ezra
Young singer/songwriter folk-blues balladeer George Ezra first came to attention when BBC Introducing in his adopted home of Bristol picked up on a handful of tracks posted online. That led to a live session at the legendary Maida Vale studios and an oversubscribed performance on their stage at the 2013 Glastonbury Festival.
The Hertford-reared, Bristol-based singer/songwriter possesses a deep, resonant, and emotionally weathered voice that belies his considerable youth. Influenced by similarly precocious troubadours like Dylan and Hank Williams, Ezra was just 19 when he issued his debut single 'Budapest', a warm, amiable, and soulful slice of classy folk-pop that invoked names like Willy Mason, Ben Howard, Ray Lamontagne and Tom Odell.

Leo Moranti Photography captures the special moments for weddings, engagement shoots, family portraits and special events.
What was your favorite wedding photo?
I love them all but I really loved the shots of just my husband and I
How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits?
We didnt even notice him moving around and taking all the shots he did...
What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers?
We got an Album, prints, a nifty USB Flash Drive.
How did the photographer make you and family comfortable?
I used Leo as a secondary photographer in my wedding in May of 2012. The ONLY reason he was secondary is because he was out of state and I had already booked another photographer. I regret not using him as my primary. He is brilliantly talented and very professional. He was able to capture specific moments into unbelievable images. I highly recommend Leo for your occasion and assure you that you will not be disappointed. He was punctual, accomodating and creative, which is critical for me. I would use him over and over again!

Recensioner för denna bostad
Thank you, Manuel! We enjoyed to be at your apartment and felt like visiting relatives. - In a quiet neighborhood of Porto at the 10th floor of an apartment building, we had an own room which was separated from the rest of the apartment through a corridor. The room is very cozy, clean, including everything that is necessary and next to it was the bathroom. In walking distance, we enjoyed some fantastic Pastel de Natas in a cafe and next to it was a restaurant with delicious authentic Portuguese food. On our whole trip, we haven't found any better Francesinha. Consider not to order too much, as the portions are very large. Walking a bit further downhill will lead you to all the famous port wine cellars. A port wine tour at Taylors is recommendable. We enjoyed being there.
Manule was a great host who informed us about the city. The room was nice, clean and big, the bathrooom was shared. The public transport was far around 5-6min.on foot, recommended a map. This area the price was friendlier -1Euro for a hot chocholate,coffee - and you can find a lot of nice Cafes with local biscuits. If you walk 10-12 Min to the river, you can find the cruise opportunities with wine tasting. If you do not like walking, I recommended the Porto ticket for public transport.
It was a great accomodation for a couple.
Good time and good place to stay in Porto! Nice guy who gave us a nice tour arround Porto and we had some nice wine!
Perfect view over the city from his place!
The room is very clean and it is the same like on pictures. Bed was very comfortable. Manuel is very friendly and helpful host. He explain everything what was needed about Porto. I strongly recommend this host.
Very recomendable place to be. Very kind and gentle hosts who offer you beautiful and neat accomodation with the city center in view. Close to public transportation and shops of daily need in the vicinty.
We are deeply greatful to had such nice introduction to this great city. Thank you very much.
Perfect stay at Manuels place. Excellent service. He came to pick us up and brought us to the airport at 6 am!!
He was very kind and really enthousiastic about almost everything that concerns Porto or Portugal. The stay is in the house of Manuel but you have your own room that you also can lock. We walked to the city centre everyday in 25 minutes but there is also a metrostation nearby. We really liked our stay in Porto and want to thank Manuel for his good care!
Bonne et agréable surprise pour cet appartement à Porto. Manuel et sa femme sont des hôtes attentifs et serviables. Ils ont été à l'écoute de nos demandes sans être envahissants. Un climat de confiance s'est instauré dès notre arrivée.
Nous nous sommes dès le 1er jour sentis accueillis et comme chez nous.La chambre est grande et propre dans un grand appartement avec une vue sur Porto à couper le souffle.
Manuel passe du temps avec ses invités à les renseigner sur sa ville.
Et le petit déjeuner servi par Teresa est sublime, avec ses confitures maison.
Le fait de ne pas être à Porto mais dans la ville d'en face (Villa Nova de Gaia) n'est nullement un problème. L'appartement est situé près de la ligne de tramway desservant le centre ville.
Good and pleasant surprise for this apartment in Porto. Manuel and his wife are attentive and helpful hosts. They were attuned to our requests without being intrusive. A reliable climate was established from our arrival.
We felt from the 1st day welcomed and as at our home. The room is big and clean in a big apartment with a breathtaking view on Porto.
Manuel spends time with his guests to inform them about his city.
And the breakfast served by Teresa is sublime, with homemade jams.
The fact of not being in Porto but in the other side of the city (Villa Nova de Gaia) is by no means a problem. The apartment is situated near the cable car route harming the city center.
Anfitriões muito educados. Deixaram-nos à vontade, respeitando sempre nosso espaço, além de terem uma postura muito flexível quanto ao horário de check-out. Muito obrigado!

Art show and day-long conference about Jim Crow opens Friday
An exhibit about hate is a simple but profoundly provocative idea.
"Painful Paradox," a juried show sponsored by local group African Americans Beginning to Educate Amreicans about African American Art (ABEA), opens Friday at the Art and Cultures Gallery at Alverno College.
It is part of a larger project, "Hateful Things," a day-long conference and traveling exhibition that explores the legacy of segregation in America. The conference is Friday. Sessions cover topics such as "Kara Walker Syndrome," voter suppression, American imagery of native peoples, lynching photography and Mexican-American civil rights.
The conference ends with a reception that runs from 4 to 8 p.m. and marks the opening of the art shows. "Painful Paradox" will feature work by Della Wells, Mutope Johnson, Marlon Banks, Jammea Edwards, Kari Couture, James Kloiber, Tamiko Dargan and others.

You guys may have seen from my Z4 ad that I am keen to buy a new shape (E60) 5-series, ideally with the BMW navigation and Bluetooth.
However, as the wiring loom should have all the relevant connections, is it possible to retro fit the BMW Navigation system and if so where would be the best place to source one from?
Many thanks,

Battle-hardened Taliban fighters could join forces with Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq and Syria, a former head of the armed forces has warned.
General Lord Richards of Herstmonceux said air strikes alone would not be enough to defeat IS as the RAF announced the latest action by Tornado jets in Iraq.
He said "many thousands" of Western troops would be needed to train ground forces to take on and defeat IS in Iraq and Syria.
And he warned against shifting the focus away from Afghanistan, where there was a danger that the Taliban could form links with IS in support of their goal of establishing a caliphate.
In the latest British military engagement, two RAF Tornado jets used Paveway guided bombs to attack IS forces who were firing on Iraqi troops from a building near Ramadi.
The planes, operating out of Akrotiri, Cyprus, resumed sorties in support of local ground forces in Iraq after a pause in respect of the Muslim holiday of Eid.
But in a sign that allied air strikes had not deterred them from seeking further territory, IS militants have targeted the Syrian town of Kobani, close to the border with Turkey.
Kurdish forces claimed to have repelled an offensive by IS yesterday, but reports suggested that a fresh assault had been launched by the militants and their black flag has been raised above a building in the town.
Lord Richards told BBC Radio 4's The World At One that the battle against IS could not be won from the air, and warned that it could be too late to intervene to protect Kobani.
He said air strikes can "write down or reduce the combat effectiveness of an enemy" but "they learn how to respond to that, they become cleverer in their tactics".
He continued: "Ultimately you have to seize and hold ground yourself to deny them the ability to operate.
"Only an army, or armies, can do that."
Asked whether Kobani would fall, he said: "The thing is, if that's going to happen, it's going to happen. It's too late now to inject well-trained armies, whether local or indeed whether they are reinforced by Western troops.
"So one has to stand back and take a more strategic view and look at how you are going to actually confront Isis over many months, if not years."
He said the Western allies, including US president Barack Obama and Prime Minister David Cameron, had the "bare bones of a perfectly good strategy", training local ground forces such as the Iraqi army and Kurdish Peshmerga to combat IS.
But he added: "What I am a little bit concerned about is the scale of the challenge is not being met by the scale of the response required."
To defeat IS, Lord Richards said: "Many thousands of Western and other allied troops will need to be involved in the process of raising and training and ultimately mentoring them as they go into battle."
Lord Richards insisted that the rise of IS - also known as Isil or Isis - in the Middle East should not be seen as a separate issue to Afghanistan.
He said it is "important that Afghanistan is seen as part of the solution to the so-called Islamic caliphate, and Isis".
The former chief of the defence staff said: "We have heard very hard-line Taliban talk about the prospects of joining the caliphate while others are talking peace, so this is not a united organisation and it never has been."
The prospect of Taliban extremists joining up with IS was a "risk that we have to be well aware of" and political leaders needed to understand the threat.
"My worry is that those leaders don't understand the scale of the response required, a key part of which is that we continue to look after, as necessary, and train and mentor the Afghan armed forces," he said.
Lord Richards compared the militant threat to a balloon, where "you press one bit and it rises in another".
"We need to continue to keep the pressure on these groups wherever they may come up and Afghanistan, after all we have done and been through, has got to be one of those places," he said.
"My take is that we could do a little bit more in Afghanistan than I think we are planning to do."
The US has taken part in air strikes against IS positions in Syria, but the British military effort has so far been confined to Iraq.
Leaders of the Kurdish resistance in Kobani have warned that air power was having a limited impact on the IS advances.
Idris Nassan, a senior spokesman for Kurdish fighters, told the Guardian: "Air strikes alone are really not enough to defeat IS in Kobani.
"They are besieging the city on three sides, and fighter jets simply cannot hit each and every Isis fighter on the ground."
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg signalled he would be prepared to support British air strikes in Syria if the situation on the ground becomes less "chaotic".
But he told ITV's Good Morning Britain: "Additional air strikes in Syria will only have limited effect unless we can make sure that the forces we're supporting in Syria really can make progress on the ground."

The Truth About Homelessness
What causes homelessness?
The Bay Area is home to some of the wealthiest and most expensive places to live in the world. In the shadow of this great wealth, thousands of people are homeless and many thousands more live below the poverty line on the verge of homelessness.
We know from talking with our Team Members and hearing their stories that there are many reasons people can become homeless: a traumatic event, loss of a job, the inability to pay for needed health-care, or a criminal background got in the way of finding a job.
How is homelessness defined?
Any person living in a temporary location, such as a shelter or a place not fit for human habitation (encampment, car, abandoned building, etc.), is considered homeless, according to the Department of Housing and Urban Development. For the official federal definition click here.
(These statistics are drawn from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Point-in-Time count 2014.)
How do people become homeless?
Top reasons people become homeless:
- 31% job loss
- 20% drugs or alcohol use
- 15% divorce or separation,
- 13% an argument with a family member who asked them to leave
- 7% domestic violence.
- 10% eviction
- 7% mental health
- 7% physical health or medical condition.
- 12% incarceration
- 1% housing restrictions due to probation or parole
What could prevent homelessness?
When asked what would have prevented their homelessness, respondents reported:
- 34% employment assistance
- 31% rental assistance
- 28% drug or alcohol counseling
- 19% mental health services
Homelessness By the Numbers
Homelessness affects our communities on a national, regional and local level. The extent of the challenge is mind-boggling. Take a look at the numbers from the Home Not Found: The Cost of Homelessness in Silicon Valley report.
United States:
- In January 2014, there were 578,424 people experiencing homelessness on any given night in the United States
- Of that number, 216,197 are people in families, and 362,163 are individuals
- About 15% of the homeless population (84,291) are considered "chronically homeless" individuals
- About 9% of homeless people (49,933) are veterans
- California hosts a total of 113,952 homeless individuals
- This represents 20% of all homeless people in the United States
- There are approximately 15,179 homeless veterans
Santa Clara County, California:
- In 2013, there were 7,631 homeless individuals in Santa Clara County
- By contrast, in 2015 there were only 6,556, representing a 14% reduction in homelessness in Santa Clara County.
- 4,654 of them were unsheltered
- There are approximately 683 homeless veterans
Did you know that homelessness costs Santa Clara County $520 million a year, an on average cost of $62,473 per chronically homeless person? Other consequences of homelessness.

Vodafone will this week fire the first formal shot of its £93bn hostile takeover bid for Mannesmann with the release of its offer document for the German telecoms group.
Vodafone will this week fire the first formal shot of its £93bn hostile takeover bid for Mannesmann with the release of its offer document for the German telecoms group.
Chris Gent, Vodafone's chief executive, is likely to spell out a strategy designed to reap £600m of annual savings from a deal which would be the largest hostile takeover in corporate history. Vodafone will confirm a plan to retain Mannesmann's fixed-line businesses but float off those in which the combined group has only a minority interest.
The document will also underline Vodafone's intention to demerge Orange in preference to finding a trade buyer for the British mobile phone group. It was Mannesmann's acquisition of Orange, arousing fears that the German group would gain a dominant position in the European cellular phone market, which last month prompted Vodafone to launch its bid. However, there are concerns that Vodafone will struggle to recoup the implicit premium it is paying for Orange, which has to be disposed of under rules barring a company from owning two mobile phone licences in the UK.
Vodafone may also detail who will fill the key executive positions in the merged companies. Previously it has indicated that senior Mannesmann managers will be offered roles.
The publication of Vodafone's offer document will kick start a bid period which, under German takeover rules, could last up to two months. Mannesmann's chief executive, Klaus Esser, dashed hopes of an agreed deal on Friday with a pledge to resist Vodafone's advances. Mr Esser is insisting that Vodafone must raise its bid by at least £25bn before he will consider a recommendation.
Mr Gent needs to persuade 50.1 per cent of Mannesmann's shareholders in order to secure control. However, at least one shareholder will side with Mr Esser - Hutchison Whampoa, the Hong Kong investment group, which owns 10 per cent.
It is likely that most other shareholders will wait to see what happens to Vodafone shares during the course of the bid period before deciding which way to vote.
Vodafone is also flying in the face of the corporate national culture that has never approved of hostile acquisitions. Gerhard Schröder, the German Chancellor, has already indicated his opposition to unsolicited takeover bids.Reuse content

Toyota GT86 Shooting Brake: The '86 You'll Never Admit To Wanting
Everyone and their dog loves the Toyota GT86. But get a load of this Shooting Brake version...
The Important ChangesThe Shooting Brake's body length is increased by 55mm, giving cramped rear passengers (putting it mildly) much-needed legroom for longer journeys. The current fold-flat rear bench is also ditched in favour of a practical 60/40 split unit. Thanks to the SB's new body, seats-up boot capacity is increased from a tight 243 litres to a more family-friendly 298 litres, while seats-down capacity measures in at a useful 1040 litres (or 230 packs of nappies/diapers). Engine and transmission options will match those of the coupe (2.0-litre Subaru-derived boxer unit mated to either a six-speed manual or six-cog auto 'box), while the Shooting Brake's 0-62mph time of 7.8 and 8.5sec respectively is slower than the coupe's by 0.2 and 0.3sec. This is due to the SB's 86kg weight penalty. Naturally. UK pricing will start at £26,945 for the manual Shooting Brake version and £28,445 for the automatic. This represents an increase of just £1,950 for both models. So there you have it, Toyota. A brilliant new business plan for a car your customers never knew they wanted. Who's in?

Border Crossing
The trek from Southpass to the border was uneventful, as Zane had told them it would be. The Crown wouldn't make a move on the Viducian side of the border, he had assured them. It was unfamiliar territory, beyond their sovereignty, and sending anything other than a few bodies would risk a major political incident.
This meant they would have to cross the most highly guarded border outside of the Mardoken capital before they could even engage in any sort of conflict with the Crown's forces, who intel suggested were camped just outside the Wildwood, in the foothills of the mountains.
It also meant they would be in the country where the Carmine Ledger had a much wider influence, though. And Zane believed the border crossing would be easier than usual because the Crown would want them to pass unperturbed into their clutches.
In theory, it was a difficult situation, but doable. In practice, Zane would remind them at every opportunity, things always went wrong. They would need to think on their toes. One last pep talk was all there was time for before they reached the border and put their plan into motion.
× × ×
"Are ya alright back dere? Not much longer til ya can come out," Wrench whispered. She was riding in the front of a wagon with Frederick, while their passengers hid in the back under thick canvas sheets with preserved meats piled on top.
Frederick's day job as a merchant had been the perfect cover for their crossing, and the border guards hadn't looked twice once the relevant contracts had been produced. In fact, they hadn't encountered any resistance at all even as they approached the forest. The closer they got to freedom, however, the more nervous Wrench seemed, the head of her wrench clinking on the floor in rhythm with her tapping foot.
As the hills gave way completely to flat ground and the forest dominated the skyline, Wrench noticed their horses nickering and fighting against their blinds, straining their necks toward some unseen threat. Her wrench clinked one last time as she grabbed it from her feet, the tapping having now ceased.
"Shades," she informed Frederick, her typical bright smile gone grim, memories of their last encounter resurfacing.
Frederick nodded, and brought his wagon to a stop. He dropped from his perch with a grunt and unhitched his horses, sending them running toward the forest with a slap on their flanks. He then pulled a pair of thick leather gloves with inlaid brass fittings over fists the size of hams and sat beside Wrench again.
"Ya hit dem hard enough and dey'll feel it," Wrench explained. "But not for long. We just gotta keep dem away from Ori, d'ough."
Frederick nodded again.
"Are ya ready back dere? I can see dem comin'," Wrench said, her eye on two wisps of black powder skimming along the grass toward them.
When the Shades reached the vicinity of the wagon, Wrench stood atop the wagon and leapt at them, swinging her wrench overhead into one just as her boots crashed into the other.
The Shades flowed around her blows like smoke past a waving hand, and the first solidified into human form crouching just underneath the wagon. With a cacophony of creaks and groans, the wagon was lifted onto its side, upsetting its contents.
As meats tumbled from their places, the canvas sheets beneath them came to life. Throwing their cover from on top of them, James and Kelly jumped from the wagon.
"Are ya alright?" Wrench grunted, already locked in battle with the other Shade.
"I will be when I take that thing's head off," Kelly shouted, pulling a pair of climbing axes from clips on her leg.
Beside her, James brandished an ornate animantis lute, inlaid with gold.
"Really?" Kelly deadpanned, her righteous fury interrupted. "You're going to fight a terror of the night with a musical instrument?"
"I'm an entertainer, not a fighter," James said. "But I know how to improvise."
"That thing probably cost more than a month's wages," Kelly sighed. "Just stay back will you?"
Kelly dashed around the wagon to face the Shade on the other side. James ignored her request and followed behind her, lute raised above his head like a club.
"Dis one's not as strong as da last ones," Wrench explained to Frederick through gritted teeth. She was attempting to push the Shade (who was holding her wrench from the opposite side) into the ground, but was not making any headway. "But dey're all pretty tough."
Frederick shuffled over and slipped his hand around the Shade's neck, lifting it from the ground. Its grip didn't falter, though, and Wrench found her arms lifted above her head as the Shade took her wrench with it.
"Hey! Make him leggo, would ya?" Wrench complained, standing on tiptoe.
Frederick drove his other fist into the Shade's face. When doing so failed to have any effect, he tried again. And again.
The Shade, while still unmarked, screwed up its face in annoyance. After one last blow, it finally let go of the wrench and brought its hands up to its neck. Its lithe fingers crept beneath Frederick's and began to pry them loose from its neck.
"Cut that out," Wrench demanded, flogging the Shade in the gut with her wrench.
The Shade declined to follow her instructions. Instead, it freed itself from Frederick's grasp and dropped to the ground, where it planted a solid punch directly into the merchant's solar plexus.
Frederick, to his credit, did not budge, but his face contorted and he wheezed as his breath was forced from him. He swatted at the Shade's head in retaliation, but it spun out of the way and grabbed his arm. Still trying to catch his breath, Frederick groaned in pain as his elbow was pushed the wrong way.
Wrench intervened before the Shade could do any real damage, swiping the creature in the ribs hard enough that it was sent spinning through the air.
"Are ya alright?" Wrench asked. She crouched beside Frederick, who had taken to one knee. He grimaced in reply, trying to catch his breath.
"Jus' relax den, I'll keep him busy."
She rounded on the Shade, who had clambered back to its feet, but their showdown was interrupted by the arrival of her companions and the second Shade. Both Wrench and her opponent turned and stared at the spectacle before them.
The Shade was fleeing with its arms held protectively overhead, and it was trailing wisps of powdery black smoke. James followed behind it, smashing his lute repeatedly over its head. And Kelly brought up the rear, blood streaming from a cut near her eye and curses flowing from her lips.
"Why is that working!?" she thundered. "She just shrugged off the axes!"
"The… power… of… music?" James hazarded between swings, holding the lute at arms length as though the Shade might turn and snatch it from him at any moment.
Wrench flinched as Kelly's outraged cursing resumed. Then she flinched again as something touched her forearm.
She jerked her arm back in alarm and a hand slid down to her wrist before losing its grip entirely. Puzzled, she watched the Shade she had been facing off against backing away from her, hiding something in its hands.
For a brief moment she entertained the notion the Shade had stolen one of the bangles she wore, but a glimpse at her wrist confirmed its presence. Furthermore, the Shade didn't actually seem to be hiding anything in its grip. It was clutching its own hand, which seemed to be reverting back to its smoky form.
It also looked like it was in pain, which shocked Wrench so thoroughly it took her a moment to put two and two together. James' lute, her wrist. The Shade was attempting to hide it, but it was too little, too late.
"Gold!" she exclaimed, her face lighting up as she made the connection. Her smile grew even broader as she noticed the Shade's eyes had widened in alarm. "Gold burns dem! Use gold!"
Frederick—surprised, but eager—patted his hip and pulled three coins from his purse. He stuck them between the fingers of his fist and rose to his full height again.
"I don't have a gold… 'weapon'!" Kelly complained, eyeing James' lute with derision as it fell to pieces against their Shade.
"Den improvise!" Wrench said, sliding one of her bangles over the head of her wrench and clamping it down.
James and Kelly's Shade had begun to round on them again now that the lute lay in pieces, revenge burning in its eyes. James sidled behind Kelly, but she didn't look much more like she wanted to fight it than he did.
"What am I supposed to do, put my ring on an axe?" she objected.
Wrench looked to Frederick, who nodded and faced off with their Shade, pounding his gold-laced fist into his other hand. The Shade looked apprehensive, but it didn't back off.
Wrench, meanwhile, dashed toward the other Shade, who was now going berserk on Kelly. Had the Shade's arms not still been half-intangible due to its earlier beating, she likely would have been overwhelmed by its fury, but even as it stood she was losing ground.
Determined to change this, Wrench wound up and swiped the Shade's ribs. She expected to knock it soaring and cause some actual damage for a change, but instead the swing went right through, sending her careening off balance. She caught herself just in time to see the Shade's upper and lower halves suspended separately for a moment before they both collapsed into a cloud of black powder.
"Whoa," James said.
"Dat's wicked!" Wrench said, glee shining in her eyes.
She turned back to Frederick to witness him swing a right hook toward the other Shade's face. It's head dissipated as Wrench's Shade had—along with the hand trying to block the blow—and the rest of its body followed seconds later.
There was silence as both Shades remained inert for a moment, nothing more than piles of dust in a field. Then they began to float away as though on a gentle breeze, and the silence was broken.
Kelly cheered and tried to bump chests with James, who promptly fell over. Wrench whooped and ran to Frederick's side. "Tossed him right under da wheels, didn't ya?"
Frederick smiled, but it was a fleeting gesture that he replaced quickly with a frown as though with sleight of hand.
Wrench followed his line of sight to the forest as Kelly and James drew up beside them. The four of them stood and watched together as easily a hundred Crown soldiers marched out from their hiding places in the treeline and toward them.
"Great," said Kelly. "So what's their magical weakness?"

|Big John Games
Strike Force Foxx is a military helicopter rescue game from Big John Games for the 3DS eShop.
The gameplay is relatively simple. The player controls a helicopter in a 2D plane. When pressing the fire button, the helicopter fires in the direction it is facing and fire straight down when facing forward. Pressing the shoulder button rotates the helicopter. Facing in a direction allows the helicopter to go faster in that direction. The game also features motion control to allow the player to tilt the helicopter and aim better. Each level has an objective that usually involves rescuing civilians. There's also a stars system where if the player defeats enough enemies, destroys enough buildings and does the level fast enough, the player receives up to 3 stars. Stars are used to unlock stuff in the shop for purchase.
The plot of this game is much like a summer flick. The player plays as an ace helicopter pilot, Captain Foxx, for the island nation of Pacific Isles under attack by a terrorist organization led by Doctor Synchros.

An analysis of PAC contributions and legislator quality

This paper empirically examines the influence of three legislator attributes on political action committee campaign contributions. In particular, the study investigates the roles that committee assignment, committee leadership, and majority party membership play on campaign contributions from political action committee representing firms from the four well-defined industries of aerospace, airline, automobile, and oil. The empirical results indicate that committee leadership is a key variable that drives contributions. However, membership on a seemingly relevant committee does not appear to carry as much weight. Furthermore, majority party membership appears to have a significant influence over the level of contributions. These patterns appear to be consistent over the eight election cycles studied.

Murdoch and Crabtree investigate the death of Reginald Chilton, the Member of Provincial Parliament from Toronto East who died from a fall from an upper floor at the Provincial legislature, Queen's Park. The guard on duty at the time, Briggs, swears he saw a ghost push Chilton over the railing. Samuel Jenkins of the Toronto Gazette informs the police that he was investigating Chilton's unscrupulous business dealings. Crabtree for his part wants to explore the supernatural elements of the case but Murdoch dissuades him. Dr. Grace says Chilton definitely died from the fall but it appears that he fell backwards over the balcony as if he had been pushed. A second man, Dr. Ansel Fraser, dies in a similar fashion and the police focus on the Provincial Secretary, Thaddeus Walsh. As far as the ghost is concerned Murdoch is convinced the apparitions are very human.

Elizabeth Black is a hero. She is a cop who single-handedly rescued a young girl from a locked cellar and shot two brutal kidnappers dead. But she's also a cop with a history, a woman with a secret. And she's not the only one.
Adrian Wall is finally free after thirteen years of torture and abuse. In the very first room he walks into, a boy with a gun is waiting to avenge the death of his mother. But that is the least of Adrian's problems.
He was safer in prison.
And deep in the forest, on the altar of an abandoned church, a body cools in pale linen. It is not the first to be found.

Redemption rɪˈdɛm(p)ʃ(ə)n/ – the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil.
Everyone needs a little redemption at one point in their lives, fortunately for us John Hart is at hand with his latest novel Redemption Road, a story about one woman's struggle to come to terms with her torment, her past and her strained relationship with her father. A woman struggling to conquer her demons, the book charts her fight to come through her trials and tribulations and seize her life back.
I remember reading Iron House five years ago, a book I remember fondly to this day, I remember being mesmerised by John Hart's storytelling and magnificent characterisation. There are few books that have that lasting effect on you but as an author John Hart is right up there with the best of them.
Redemption Road is well paced and incredibly brutal; in fact the book is rather unforgiving. I briefly mentioned characterisation above and this book is no exception. Elizabeth Black is damaged and her past slowly catches up with her as the greater story unfolds. An interesting character, Elizabeth is a protagonist that will divide opinion. Some will love her, some will hate her, for me she had a wonderful balance of right and wrong, good and evil. It's all about survival and protecting those she holds dear. With a colourful history that has helped shape her become the cop she is today, Lizzie will stop at nothing to find the truth.
Along with a host of interesting characters, Crybaby Jones was possibly my favourite character of the book. An ageing lawyer who hasn't left the sanctuary of his big house for a decade or more, he as a character, had so much to offer the book. Even though Jones wasn't in the book as often as the main protagonists he left his mark with emotion and passion. For me, whenever he was involved in the storyline the book was the stronger for his appearance, he certainly left his mark with me.
The story moves along at a fairly rapid pace, there's so much to take in and the pace slows every once in a while due to the complexity of the storyline but the pace takes nothing away from a magnificent book. Reading the first chapter I knew I was hooked, a book that causes your heart to miss a beat, not once but twice in the first chapter, you know you are with some certainty on to a winner.
Another breath-taking story from a master storyteller, Redemption Road is one not to be missed.

May 30, 2008 at 9:45 am #1229255
I recently got a pair of Salomon XA Comp 3 trail runners and wore them on a day hike. I like them!
I do have one question about the shoe laces. Instead of tying them, one tightens them simply by pulling on them, then keeping them in place with a cord lock. For those who have experience with this cord lock mechanism — do you expereience slippage and does the lock wear/fray the shoe laces with time?May 30, 2008 at 9:50 am #1435745

Ben, I have used Salomon's now for 4 seasons. Not once have I had the chord lock to slip. I am about to purhase a new pair of trail runners and yep, you guessed it, Salomon!May 30, 2008 at 9:53 am #1435746
Good to know, thanks, Ken.
I'm going to do another day hike this weekend. If I am still happy with my Salomon (and I expect to be) — I may just buy another pair. Things I like always get discontinued!May 30, 2008 at 10:08 am #1435750

As long as you have a fairly neutral stride (don't over pronate, supinate, etc.) that kind of lacing system seems to work fine. However, if you have any gait abnormalities, stretchy laces don't give as much support as solid, non-stretchy ones, and can lead to injuries on high mileage days.
I found this out the hard way, 15 miles into a 20 mile training run, felt like someone stabbed me in the top of my foot. Good times.

Is the lacing of those shoes Kevlar like on the tech amphibian? They don't stretch at all.May 30, 2008 at 10:38 am #1435757
Joshua GilbertMember
@joshcgil2Locale: Seattle
If they don't stretch, it's a moot point. The ones I was using were like little bungy cords, they were marketed to triatheletes for easy on/off.
They don't work well, imho. (they weren't salomon shoes either)May 30, 2008 at 10:40 am #1435760

@kennyhel77Locale: Scotts Valley CA via San Jose, CA
The lacing is made out of kevlar and does not stretch.May 30, 2008 at 10:42 am #1435761
The Salomon laces on mine are non-stretchy. Good to know about the potential peril of stretchy cords though. Thanks.May 30, 2008 at 12:11 pm #1435773

I use the Salomon XA Pro 3D's which have the same "Quickfit"…or whatever they call it…Kevlar laces. I've read lots of stories about the laces snapping, and similar horror stories about how difficult they are to fix in the field (there is a replacement lace kit available but I've never owned one).
So far, I have yet to have a lace break and I'm on pair #2, with well over 750 miles between both pairs, probably approaching 1000 miles as I still use my first pair for 'around town/gym/mow the grass' shoes. On the older pair, I am noticing the laces are fraying where the laces cross over each other. I'd recommend keeping an eye on these spots…I plan to use a bit of electrical tape to provide some friction resistance.May 30, 2008 at 1:57 pm #1435802

I use the Tech Amphibs with the same laces. I'm on my third or fourth pair and have had one set of laces snap. It was obvious that their days were numbered because I could see the inner white fibers underneath the worn black casing. They wore where the cord goes around the would be eyelets. I've never had the plastic adjuster slip. When the laces snapped it was time for new shoes anyway so I didn't replace the laces.May 30, 2008 at 3:56 pm #1435832
Thanks for the additional info. Sounds like the laces are fairly durable — just not forever. I'll add that to my pre-trip gear examination checklist.May 30, 2008 at 4:47 pm #1435840

This is actually one of those incredibly rare products that hasn't been discontinued. Well, not completely anyway.
The design of your Comps actually started as the original XA Pros. The original XA Comps were pretty ordinary IMHO, but the Pros were great. Then the 2nd gen Pros came out, and they weren't too flash. I thought I was done with Salomon. But when the 3rd gen Pros came out, they changed the Comps…..to the same design as the original Pros. I'm sure I wasn't the only happy camper. Same great shoes, 25% cheaper.
So just keep watching the XA Pros. When they change that style drastically, that's the time to grab a couple extra pairs of Comps.

I have had laces fail on me after around 100 miles. I didn't try a second pair because I had just found Inov-8 which I prefer. I never had the cord lock slip… and liked the fast on/off of the system. One downside is that you can't custom fit by changing the lacing pattern.May 30, 2008 at 6:15 pm #1435852
Brett TuckerMember
@blister-freeLocale: Puertecito ruins
The replacement lace kit can slip, probably because the tolerances on the "wheel lock" aren't quite as good as on the original (one threads the lace through the wheel lock when installing replacements – a fiddly affair to say to least).
As others have pointed out, the vulnerability of the laces to fraying isn't at the lock, but at the eyelets. The molded plastic eyelets found on some XA Pros seem to be less of a problem, but neither the current model Pro nor any of the XA Comps use these. Friction, exacerbated by water and grit, commonly frays these laces before the shoes themselves are worn out.May 31, 2008 at 6:30 pm #1435991
Max HoaglandMember
I have a pair of the Salomon XA Comp 3D (same lacing) which I use for running, hiking and backpacking. I have never used these on a long backpacking trip and wouldn't want to because the lacing system seems to just tighten the shoe rather than conform the top of the shoe to the contours of your foot. Thus, whenever I am descending steep downhills on trails, or accidentally over-tighten the shoe, the pointiest part of the top of my foot always feels, as Joshua said, like someone was stabbing me. The pain isn't always there and it isn't a huge inconvenience, but it is something to think about, especially if you like your shoe tied really tight.May 31, 2008 at 7:20 pm #1435996

To replace a broken lace in the field just skip the very first lace attachment point (the one by your big toe), then you can lace it up just like a regular shoe. The cord you use has to be pretty thin to be able lace it without too much trouble. I usually have some extra guyline (Kelty triptease) that could be used in a pinch.
The same idea applies if you need custom lacing.Jan 24, 2009 at 9:54 pm #1472730

I've been pretty happy with the performance of my waterproof Salomons, they are very nice for sledding and such in the winter because if you wear these waterproof shoes, with snowpants over gaiters, then you have the mobility of shoes with the waterproofness of boots! They can get warm when hiking in the summer, but that doesn't mean you can't wear them in the summer, you just might not want to wear them all day long. And that warmth is appreciated in the winter.
I've never had to try to relace the shoelaces on my Salomons in the field, but I just replaced mine at home with very little trouble. I was intimidated by the volume of horror stories I'd read online about people trying to relace their shoes and spending hours, only to end up cursing Salomon.
But I discovered that with just a pinch of ingenuity, it's really not very difficult at all(read: If I can do it, anybody can). I did one shoe in maybe 10-15 minutes. I don't mean to excuse Salomon's terrible, or even non-existant, customer service, but isn't it better to figure out a solution to your problem yourself, rather than just whining about it?
I have a multi-tool that has an awl-type tool in it, this I used to enlarge the big plastic loop that is down by your big toe. The problem I'd read about with getting the lacing through that whole was that it was too tiny. But the problem isn't that the whole is tiny, but that it's flat, so if you open it up a bit, getting the replacement lace through it really isn't very difficult. Once you have the lace through that loop, you can lace it up just like a regular shoe. Then thread both ends through the clamp piece, stick the sprocket into the clamp from the top, spreading apart the laces. Pull down on the laces to lower the sprocket into position, then attach the spring backing onto the clamp by sticking its pointy part into the whole in the sprocket. You have to press HARD. Now the only problem is that you have two loose ends of lacing sticking out of the clamp. If you kept the rubber lace-pull from your previous lacing, then you can push one end of lacing through the lace-pull, and, I haven't quite done this yet, but I'm planning on it: superglue two sections of opposite ends of lacing together and then duct tape them together to ensure a hold that won't fail. And voila, your lacing looks almost identical to how it was when your shoes were brand-new!Jan 25, 2009 at 11:25 am #1472785
I was reading this thread this morning as I drank my coffee before heading out into the hills for the day. I remembered reading those same horror stories about these laces failing prematurely and being a pain to replace. "Good job I've never had a problem with mine!" I thought to myself as I headed towards the door and my Salomons. I had a peek at the laces on my Comps and would you believe it – they're bust! The white core was visible and worn down until a mere thread of dental floss looking material was holding them together. Luckily I have another pair of lined shoes (Keen Targhee II mids) to use in the snow today but I think I'm gonna be returning these puppies to the shop to see if I can get a replacement pair.Jan 25, 2009 at 11:30 am #1472789

The laces on my shoes have broken several times each time I replaced them with the replacement laces….however I now have a different solution….I went to Basspro shop and bought the split rings used on fishing lures…installed the rings thru the lace eyes and now I can use reguler shoes laces….plus you can skip eyes if you like to customize your lacing

Byker wheelie bin fire warning
Tyne and Wear residents are being encouraged to help keep themselves safe from fire following a number of deliberate wheelie bin and rubbish fires in the Byker Wall area last night.
Between 10.30pm and 11.20pm there were eight deliberately started fires in the area surrounding Byker Community Centre.
Two crews from Byker Community Fire Station, one crew from Newcastle Central and a Targeted Response Vehicle attended and dealt with the incidents.
Area Manager for Community Safety Kevin Gardner, Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service, said:
Luckily no one was injured as a result of these incidents. However, fires involving wheelie bins can pose a serious risk.
Although people who start these fires might think it's a bit of fun, the consequences can be very serious; the fire can easily spread to property, including people's homes. They also tie up the fire crews who are not then available to attend other more serious or life-threatening incidents. A fire engine can't be in two places at once.
Residents can help protect themselves and their property, and reduce their chances of becoming a target, by putting their wheelie bins out shortly before they are due for collection and by bringing them back in as soon as possible after they have been emptied.

Chapter Six: Page 5Mature
She rolled her eyes as she unlocked the door to her dorm room. "Please. I was barely asleep when you texted. You know me, I'm a night owl at heart." Inside the room was a set of bunk beds. The top one was decorated with a black and red rumpled comforter and about a trillion cushy looking pillows. The bottom bunk was simpler, adorned only by a light green fitted sheet and a decorative quilt we'd all had to take park in making a few years back for school. On the dangerously detachable bedside table hooked onto the railing of the upper bunk sat an untouched glass of water and a bottle of baby aspirin.
Nova grinned at me as she kicked off her slippers the same way she had flung off her wedges earlier that day. "Hey, do you want to see me do something really cool?" Without waiting for a response from me, she ran at the bed and grasped onto the thin metal bar of the upper bunk. Her toes clung to the bottom of the upper bed like miniature fingers, and she stayed in the raised crouch position before pushing off and flipping into the bed, somersault style. As she sat up, she beamed with pride, her face slightly flushed from the light effort she'd just exerted.
"Normal people use ladders, Nova. You could, too, if you wanted," I said as she chased down two of the baby aspirin with the water that she'd somehow managed to not spill. She made a face at me as I put the boxes on the floor next to the lower bunk and began rifling through the top one.
"Where's the fun in that?" she asked as I found the picture with my dad that I was looking for and propped it up on the empty bedside table. After changing into the shorts and button up shirt that functioned as my pajamas most nights, I flicked off the lights and lay down on the bed. The soft sounds of Nova's snoring above were gentle and lulling , but I couldn't sleep; instead, I laid unmoving there in the darkness, just thinking to myself about all that had happened.
I remembered the day that everything in my life had started to go to hell; it was a Tuesday when it happened. I'd just lost a tooth a few minutes earlier and I was double excited because my birthday was in a few days. I was in the middle of a math test, desperately trying to remember all of my times tables in the five minutes we had to answer the hundred questions, when the classroom phone rang. My teacher, Miss Lawrence, had gotten the most horrified look on her face and I'd been sent down to the guidance office for a "quick word" with a counselor. That was where they told me that my dad had died.
I picked up the picture of my dad from the bedside table and kissed it gently. "Goodnight, Daddy," I whispered, before putting it back down and turning over so I could sleep. Things would get better.
They had to get better.
I mean, they'd gotten better before, at least a little. After my dad died, my mother and I had had to move, so I switched schools. That was where I got the opportunity to meet Simon and Nova. It almost evened out.
Almost. Only ever almost.
