2004 Volvo S60 R - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
This is Volvo's M-Series
By dropthatpuck on
Vehicle2004 Volvo S60 R 4dr Sedan AWD (2.5L 5cyl Turbo 6M)
ReviewI drove and evaluated the new M3 and
535I compared with the Volvo S60R. The
R has better lines and exterior design
than the BMW and the standard power,
although turbocharged, gives you the
torque and power you need to satisfy
even the most discerning motorhead,
particularly with the standard 6-
speed. Turbo lag is nearly non-
existent and even when cruising along
at 70-80mph+ in 6th gear, pressing the
accelerator will push your head back
into the seat. Volvo solid throughout,
great interior (upgrade for Atacama
leather is outrageously expensive - and
it looks like a new baseball glove for
$1,800). Incredible braking power.
Best FeaturesExt. design; metalic paint, 18" R type wheels/brakes; 60/40 rear seat with both sides folding into cabin for additional room (w/ ski pass-through); auto up power windows; entire drivetrain including best AWD system I've driven yet; suspension mode feature (partic. adv. mode!).
Worst FeaturesInc. ht. of grnd. effects (air dam);Inc. ht. of splr. on trunk to wash under it;Inc. the ht. of the strg. column or let me lower the seat more so my legs are not touching the wheel;prem. sound is lame;Nd. seat heat auto-off;Nd. compass on the RV mirror and put the O.S. temp up there.

We recently made the first of many donations that are part of the launch of my new book, "The 7-Day Back Pain Cure"
Not only are we giving away copies of the book for free, but we are also donating $2 of the shipping fee to one of two great charities: Habitat for Humanity and St. Jude's Children's Hospital (you choose!).
As you can see, the first donation was $1198 to Habitat for Humanity and while I'm the only one in the picture, our entire team was very excited to be able to make such a large contribution to a great organization like Habitat. We'll be making another similar donation to St. Jude's this week.Thank you so much to everyone who was a part of this. This truly turned out to be a great way to help a lot of people at the same time.
If you have not yet requested your FREE copy of my book, do it now because I'm not sure how much longer we'll continue to offer it for free. As you hopefully can imagine, we are losing quite a bit of money with this offer.

In just three months, nearly 200,000 women across the country have paid up to the equivalent of three days' wages to see their screen idols in the flesh. These sold-out strip shows have aroused the ire of some conservative Roman Catholic bishops, who have tried to counteract the phenomenon by organising morning-after confessions for these defiant females. Few bother to attend.
Some right-wing city officials in the provinces have tried to score political points by cancelling permits at the last minute, but all of them have ultimately relented to public pressure. Mothers, wives and sisters simply insist that this show - "Solo Para Mujeres" (For Women Only) - must go on.
The inspiration for this new anti-macho fervour is British. While watching a video of the 1997 film The Full Monty, soap-opera hunk Alexis Ayala wondered what would happen if, instead of a line-up of ordinary blokes, Mexican women could watch screen icons and pop stars strut their stuff. His idea was to find a way for "more direct contact with our fans, to give flight to our dreams and mutual fantasies" - and to make pots of money.
He rounded up almost a dozen colleagues and after considerable objections from spouses, and initial embarrassment about stripping off in front of the others, they agreed to go for "the whole enchilada". Sergio Mayer, a performer and co-producer, explained: "This was something new for Mexico. Sure, we knew it was risky, but never thought there would be so many religious, political, and social objections."
In Puebla last month, 70 demonstrators heckled the thousand secretaries, housewives and beauticians who had queued for hours in the sun to buy tickets, their flyers excoriating "mothers, the pillars of society" for falling down on the job. "We want Liberty, not Libertines", they taunted. When officials tried to close down the theatre, police were called to restore order.
Raunchy stage shows, featuring lap-dancers and even animal acts, are nothing new in Mexico and many modern Mexican men take pride that there are so few prudes. But until recent years, even the cantinas were strictly a male preserve. As the millennium approaches, the hypocrisy rankles and Mexican women are starting to rebel.
Just last Thursday, in Mexico City, housewives put down their mops and irons to go on a 24-hour strike. Gabriela Delgado, a government official who heads the women's collective Pro-Mujer, called on women in the capital to down tools in order to protest against the inequity of getting stuck with all the household chores."We want housework seen as a family responsibility," Ms Delgado explained. "It is not good enough that all the work falls to women when they, too, have to go out and earn."
Instead of putting their feet up, some strikers thronged to check out the thongs on stage at "Solo para Mujeres". Men are allowed to accompany their partners, but only if they come disguised in drag. "It is a real quandary for modern Mexican men," said Deborah Hawley, the show's choreographer. "They want women to advance, but only under their rules." Many men drop their girlfriends off and collect them after the show.
At the show, the male line-up - all but one of whom are happily married - bump and grind in unison. When volunteers press forward to come up on stage, or the stars wander through the audience wearing only Doc Martens, bikini briefs and bow-ties, the excitement is palpable. Frequently, there is a rain of bras and panties from the balcony. Afterwards, the stars put on their t-shirts and shorts and sit primly on stage, signing autographs. Each fan expects her cheek to be kissed, and many ask for sexual counsel.
Edna, 55, came with her daughter and granddaughter as a birthday treat. "It's nothing I haven't seen before," she blushed, "but never have I seen so many bare bums at one time." Her friend, Greta, came along out of curiosity. "My husband doesn't know where I am," she giggled. "But, yes, I am going to tell him."
After the show, a sweaty Sergio Mayer towelled off and said: "I am proud to be part of something which is opening the eyes of so many. We are revolutionaries. We make people think twice about who makes the rules to run your life."

Rick Pitino promised his Louisville players that he'd get a tattoo if they won the national championship.
They did and now he will.
Pitino knows just what he'll get and where he'll get it.
"I said it … not believing this was going to be a reality but I am going to get it," Pitino told "CBS This Morning" earlier this week. "I'm a man of my word. I'm going to get it on my left shoulder. It will be a cardinal and it will say 2013 champions."
The 60-year-old coach explained shortly after his team won the national championship Monday night:
"About 12, 13 games ago, all these guys — if they say hello, they get a tattoo — said, 'If you win the national championship coach, are you getting a tattoo?'" Pitino said. "And I said, 'Hell, yes, I'm gettin' a tattoo.'"
America needs to see this.
If Lebron's "The Decision" was an @espn special, then "Rick Pitino Gets A Tattoo" better damn well be one too…

Ever since Viktor "Isildur1" Blom first burst on to the online poker scene as a teenager, there has always been a mysteriousness side to him. Initially it was because nobody knew who this person was, taking millions from the likes of Tom "durrrr" Dwan and Phil Ivey on Full Tilt Poker. However, despite us all now knowing who he is, he still has that air of mystery simply because he prefers to keep himself to himself.
He is not into self promotion like some other players, rarely uses social media and it is even rarer to see him give interviews. NutBlocker though, have managed to succeed where many others have not and get him to give a short interview, giving us all a little look into the world of Viktor Blom.
In the interview he explains why he did not go to the World Series of Poker this year, his best poker moments, the longest session he has had online, how online players compare to live players and who apart from him is the best Swedish poker player.
You will have to check out the full interview to get the majority of the questions and answers but we will share the final question in which he was asked was what advice he would give to himself five years ago if was able to.
"To have better financial awareness. If I could go back I'd advise myself (or any player looking to become a long-term winner) to set up a bankroll management system that suits your need.
You have to tailor it to your specific needs so that you don't risk going broke. As well as this you should always play with a stop loss limit, so that even if you lose your maximum amount in a single day it won't really impact on your bankroll too much.
The final piece of advice I'd offer would be to quit a session if you feel like you're running bad. If things don't feel right, even if you've only lost two buy-ins, it's best to stop. Some days it's just not your day and you'll be a one way train ride to destruction no matter what you do."
That answer on its own is a very important piece of advice for any player and it goes to show that he is fully aware that when he was younger, he perhaps stayed at the tables a little too long on some occasions. We are pretty sure he would admit that he makes that mistake sometimes even now.
Anyhow, head over to NutBlocker to read the full interesting interview with one of pokers most elusive players.
When it comes to longevity in the game and records, no other site can touch that of PokerStars, what with reaching 100 billion hands back in June and now...
When Full Tilt Poker announced its Jackpot SNGs, the online poker community didn't hesitate to jump on the bandwagon and the first winner emerged soon after. A Russian girl...

Three Masked Strangers Crossed My Path
the story that reminds me that not all matters depend upon my control
Three masked strangers crossed my path
as I trekked through autumn wood.
In black and grey, they made their way,
with no regard of me.
I wondered as they lumbered by,
if their motive, bad or good..
Why did my presence concern them not,
not even a passing look.
These furry,silent pilgrims,
wobbling down their well-worn path,
to their fishing, dining brook.
I watched the three from nearby trees,
as they worked their watery field.
Each in turn, each as could,
they caught their shining, wiggling prize,
their feast, this river's yield.
And when they finished with their course,
this chore now met and done,
the three masked strangers, journeyed back,
they crossed the path a final time,
of this nameless human one.

Disappointment For Pools At Wycombe
Two second half goals saw Wycombe Wanderers come from behind to defeat Pools on a frustrating and controversial afternoon at Adams Park.
ng victory over Torquay United last weekend, Colin Cooper named an unchanged starting line-up for the trip to Buckinghamshire but some sloppy defending, combined with some dubious officiating left them heading home empty-handed.
With the game still in its infancy there was major drama as Luke James stormed clear on goal only to be bundled over as he prepared to shoot. However, the referee inexplicably decided there had been no infringement and waved play on when he should really have been pointing to the spot and fishing for his red card.
Cooper and his players looked visibly shocked by the non-decision and moments later a concession of possession led to a Wanderers break led by Matt Bloomfield but the skipper sent a rushed effort high and wide.
When Pools went forward they often looked dangerous, getting plenty of time on the ball and finding lots of room in wide areas, particularly down the left where Andy Monkhouse and Darren Holden combined to good effect.
However, it was the hosts who continued to carve out more of the openings and, when Simon Walton slipped as he went to switch play, Sam Wood got to the ball and played through Dean Morgan but the front man scuffed a shot across goal and wide.
Brad Walker did well to block a shot from Nick Arnold on the edge of the box, while Scott Flinders held a drive from Scott McClure, an early substitute for the injured Paris Cowan-Hall.
With half time approaching another Pools ball in from the left found Harewood who showed the presence of mind to lay it off ten yard out to Barmby who took a touch to steady himself before lifting a wonderful looping volley beyond keeper Matt Ingram and in to the top corner of the net.
Wanderers came out with renewed vigour after the break and Pools were forced to block a series of shots on the edge of their own box before counter-attacking dangerously through James who burst away down the right only to deliver a cross too deep to pick out a team-mate.
Flinders had to be alert to claw away an inswinging corner from the left which fell to Dean Morgan who blasted over the bar, while Kretzschmar spurned a golden opportunity when he blazed too high from just inside the area.
However, the half was only around six minutes old when the hosts did level things up; Marvin McCoy's long throw was headed clear by Sam Collins but when it immediately came back in to the box, Morgan was free to head in to the corner of the net.
The goal knocked Pools' confidence for a time as Wanderers threatened more though Cooper's men could have stolen in front again when James almost battled his way in to a shooting position in the area as he continued to cause problems for the home defence.
As Pools recovered their composure they started passing the ball better; Walton sent a left-foot volley just wide before Jordan Richards' testing cross was well cleared after he had played an excellent one-two with Walker to get clear down the right.
There was more controversy in the offing though and when Kretzschmar whipped a right-wing corner in to the far post Flinders looked as though he was fouled as he tried to gather, allowing McClure to get free and head home to put Wanderers in front.
Kretzschmar should probably have increased the lead but leaned back on his shot to send it high and wide, before McClure made Flinders work with a stinging shot and Morgan put a volley just wide on the turn.
Darren Holden's long throw was a problem for Wycombe and as he delivered another one in to the area there were appeals for handball as Monkhouse found enough space to fire shot on goal which was deflected over.
Walker almost caught out Ingram with a wonderfully-struck long-range effort but the Wanderers keeper got just enough on the ball to send it round the post for a corner, from which Collins glanced a header wide.
Substitute Antony Sweeney sent a tame header just over in injury time after Pools had attempted to keep Holden's inswinging corner alive and that proved the final opportunity for the visitors.

Wycombe Wanderers 2 Pools 1
Barmby (45), Walton (70)
3073 (188 Pools)

About: William Harvey Hospital William Harvey Hospital Ashford TN24 0LZ
Posted by Anonymous
Anything else?
My wife was admitted to this hospital, some 300 miles from our home, in an emergency. From my first contact with the A&E receptionist, through A&E, ITU, Cambridge J ward (respiratory services) until a transfer to Preston could be made I felt that not just the patient but myself and my family were cared for in a first class way. Staff at every level were helpful and considerate - this is an exceptional team.

Wednesday, May 23, 2012 |
In honour of this mysterious month of May, CBC Books mashed up some CanLit characters and presents a little murder mystery of our own. A new chapter was revealed every few days and we ask you, our readers, to solve the mystery before we revealed the culprit!
Congratulations to Cherry Blossoms, who is the grand prize winner, Cherry Blossoms gets to take home a brand new Sony Reader™ Digital Book. The two runners-up, Jackie S. and MarkyMark, each get to take home a CanLit Mystery prize pack!
Read the complete mystery below to find out who committed the crime.
Whodunit? Was it Emily Byrd Starr from Lucy Maud Montgomery's Emily of New Moon series? Angus McLintock from Terry Fallis's The Best Laid Plans? The always mysterious Ramona Flowers from Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series? Dunstan Ramsay from Robertson Davies' classic Fifth Business? Or Mordecai Richler's iconic character Duddy Kravitz from The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz?
Naturally, the lights went out halfway through the awkward dinner party. Various mysterious sounds ensued: smashing glass and various thuds and grunts and footsteps. When the lights came back on, everyone was standing, agape, and the sixth guest and the host were missing from the dining room. The glass door that led out to the yard was ajar, and shattered, and there was a small mound of snow melting on the dining-room carpet. Suddenly, the host screamed. Everyone raced out to join him.
The sixth guest was dead, lying face down in the doorway of the dining room. The night was snowy and stormy. Five people, previously unacquainted except through what they'd read of each other, had been invited to the home of their sole mutual friend, Avi D. Reader. They'd arrived one by one, wary of the prospect of a cross-genre dinner party, but always hungry for higher readership. Avi welcomed each character warmly, and had prepared a coyly thematic meal, each dish a sly reference to one of his guests. Some ingredients, of course, had to be outsourced, but Duddy Kravitz seemed happy enough to bring a dozen bagels from Montreal. Avi was relieved to see that it was the Duddy from the book who showed up, not the Duddy from the movie. Avi couldn't abide movie adaptations. Ramona Flowers arrived first, having rollerbladed through subspace to avoid traffic. Next, Angus McLintock stormed up to the door, and immediately started complaining about the traffic to Dunstan Ramsay.
A sixth guest was also in attendance that night, present from the beginning. Sullen and gruff, he sat in a corner and glared as the guests arrived, scowling especially hard at Ramona's rollerblades and then at Emily Starr, who arrived carrying a thick manuscript. Ramona, recognizing him from one of her shortcuts (she knew they didn't agree on most things, including the cultural value of manga), returned the scowl.
The sixth guest gave a brief nod of recognition to Dunstan, and reached right into Duddy's bag of bagels to help himself to a pre-dinner snack.
Emily had been hoping to show her manuscript to the dead man. Instead, Dunstan had thumbed through it. The two of them were seated side by side at dinner and were deep in discussion. Emily looked distressed, but then, Emily often looked distressed, so who knows how much of a clue that is.
During dinner, only Duddy noticed when Ramona put on her earmuffs. She said she was chilly, but Duddy was astute enough to know that she was trying to drown out the earsplitting brogue to her left, as Angus prattled on to the sixth guest as though trying to talk him to death.
At first, suspicion fell on Dunstan, who had excused himself to use the bathroom shortly before the lights went out. Dunstan swore he had never seen the sixth guest before. Avi was crying. Emily patted him awkwardly on the back as he explained who the dead man was. "My favourite English professor," he said, through sobs. "I wanted you all to meet him! Dunstan, he always reminded me of you. And Ramona, I thought you could win him over to recognizing the artistic merit of graphic novels! Emily, I thought if he could see your manuscript before Dean got to it, you'd be happier quicker! Angus, I thought you could make him finally recognize the value of self-published work! And Duddy...I needed some real Montreal bagels."
The guests recoiled. "This guy has been trying to get self-published books declared ineligible for any awards in Canada," growled Angus. "He's been fighting for copyright laws to forbid any book from being adapted into a movie," said Duddy. "I use his subconscious as a shortcut sometimes," admitted Ramona. "There's some nasty stuff in there."
Avi ran to the bathroom, where he could be heard vomiting. Maybe there was something in the bagels.
Eyes turned to Duddy. "Don't anybody eat another bagel," said Ramona.
Skating around the dining room in an attempt to clear her head, Ramona slipped in the little pile of snow. Emily raced to her side. "Why are your shoes wet?" Ramona asked her. Emily turned bright red. Dunstan noticed. "You really need to learn how to take criticism a bit better," he said to Emily.
There are two. Duddy hated the Professor, for he knows the film industry needs book adaptations in order to survive with any credibility whatsoever. He fed the professor a poisoned bagel. At the moment the lights went out, the Professor was beginning to suffer from horrible cramps and stood up and turned to amble towards the doorway to the hall in search of ipecac or something. Meanwhile, Emily also contributed to the murder, although accidentally. Furious at Dunstan, who she felt was lecturing her patronizingly about her manuscript (he was trying to encourage her to write more plainly, which she did not take well), Emily took the opportunity of a power outage to run outside through the glass door, expertly roll together a snowball containing a rock, and whip it at Dunstan's head. Dunstan, as is his wont when he feels something whizzing towards his head, ducked, and the sixth guest (the Professor) was next in the line of fire. The blow to the head knocked him out for long enough for the poisoned bagel to work its deadly way through his system.

Centura Health has more experts in more places throughout the region. Start your health journey by finding the right one for you.
When you have a knee injury or arthritis, simple
pleasures like walking and shopping can become unbearable. Knee replacement —
either full or partial — can reduce or eliminate pain, allow easier movement
and get you back to your quality of life.
replacement surgery may be considered for people suffering from arthritic knee
pain, or trauma to the knee joint that can severely limit the activities of
daily living. It is only recommended after careful examination and diagnosis of
your particular joint problem, and after conservative measures such as
exercise, physical therapy and medications have proven ineffective.
Total knee replacement is a surgical
procedure where the worn out surfaces of the knee are resurfaced with metal and
plastic components. Over time, the cartilage that cushions the bones can wear
away, cause pain and discomfort, and make simple pleasures like walking and
shopping unbearable. Knee replacement can reduce or eliminate pain, allow
easier movement and get you back to normal life. OrthoColorado Hospital also
offers minimally invasive total knee replacement.
Partial knee replacement is a minimally
invasive surgical procedure that resurfaces the worn, arthritic surfaces of the
knee joint with metal and plastic components. Over time, the cartilage covering
the ends of the femur (thighbone) and tibia (shinbone) can wear away causing pain,
swelling and reduced mobility. If the wear is confined to one area of the knee,
partial knee replacement may be an option.
Our expert physicians make OrthoColorado the top choice for knee replacement surgery.
Our search tools require a zip code to match the location nearest you.

The Charlotte Interview: Rackhouse Pilfer
The Charlotte Interview: Rackhouse Pilfer
written by Charlotte Jakobsen
1. Can you tell us about the band?
Rackhouse Pilfer formed about 3 years ago now, but the seeds of the band were being sown a few years before that when Leon and Leslie had a 2 piece band going. They were playing covers of people like Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch, Bruce Springsteen etc. and some older roots stuff, they really had a good thing going and it sounded great with just the two of them. Myself, Leon and Les have known each other since childhood and so I'd sit in with them the odd time on drums. I suggested to the two guy's that we make a full band out of what they were doing and eventually one drunken night they gave in to my requests haha, and so we began looking for other musicians. It came together really quick then actually, we recruited another childhood friend Duane on Bass - Done, Mark our Banjo player who's younger than us had been sitting in on some of their sessions to gain experience playing and had become friendly with us all and of course is a super player - Done. And Figs our Fiddle/Dobro player came recommended by two musicians in Sligo who's opinions we trust and how right they were, we didn't even audition another guy once we met Figs, he was in - Done! And then we basically started by picking up on Leon and Les's Monday night Bluegrass session in McGarrigles bar in Sligo, we still play some of the covers the guys were doing as a two piece, so it's really the foundation of it all. Unfortunately just over a year in Duane the Bass player wanted to leave, it wasn't his thing and so we took on Hugh who is the youngest of us all now and had never played an upright bass before, but a few of us had worked with him in other bands and we knew he was good and more importantly a person we liked and he was into the gig, so we asked him to go buy a Double Bass and one month later he was there playing his first Rackhouse gig on the thing and was doing a fine job at too, amazing!! 3 years on we'd never have imagined back then we'd have achieved everything we've achieved already... We've just been awarded "Best Folk/Trad" band in the Hot Press readers poll awards, beating off serious competition like Christy Moore, Sharron Shannon and Damien Dempsey, unreal!! We were also in another category for "Best Live Band" with The Script and Hozier etc. we didn't win that one somehow haha. But we did win the Hot Press and Jagermeister freezer sessions Live Band of the Year just at the end of 2014 there, again unreal. We've supported people like Imelda May and Paul Brady, we've done some of Ireland's and Europe's biggest festivals. We've released two albums, the second 'Love and Havoc' was recorded in Nashville Tennessee with Brad Jones a producer whom some of us really admire. And I think honeslty the most meaningful thing we've achieved is that we've built an incredibly loyal fan base of people who are just the best and support us so well everywhere we go, the journey is only young yet but we're loving it.
2. How would you describe your music?
Leon was chatting to a person after a gig recently who described us as The Sex Pistols with Bluegrass instruments haha, we hadn't really thought of it that way before, but he's pretty much hit the nail on the head. When we get fired up at a gig it's just Raw Energy, we don't try to play every note to perfection, we just let lose and it's all heart, energy and sweat. But as the Drummer and in my musical opinion haha, I think the lads, the string players in this band are just great at what they do, they are brilliant musicians so they can afford to let go and play with abandon. And of course the Rackhouse Cherry on Top is that we all sing both Lead and Harmonies, that seems to be the deal breaker for a lot of people. At our gigs it's a constant changing of voices and instrument swaps and it somehow all comes together so well. So to sum up I'd say Irish, Americana, Bluegrass, Punk.
3. How did you get into alt country/Americana music?
We all came to this kind of music ourselves in different ways. Personally I come from a family of musicians who played country music a lot, so I've been immersed in country music since I was born. Leon's Grandad was a huge country music lover, people like Hank Williams etc. the old school proper country, so Leon again was exposed to it a lot as child and has a deep love and knowledge about all things Country and Americana. Figs parents we're Folk musicians on the road too, they toured Europe a lot in the 70's, Figs was actually born on tour in Holland, so he's just been steeped in all kinds of music his whole life. The other guys I think came to it later, they we're all Heavy Metal lovers and all Heavy Metal Guitar players until just a few years ago, but they somehow arrived here and they love it!!
4. You recorded the 2nd album "Love and havoc" in Nashville last year? Why Nashville?
Yeah we recorded in Nashville January 2014, what an amazing experience for us as a band. Why Nashville? Who wouldn't want to record in Nashville? Agh no, the truth is I have been going there since I was a kid, again with my Country music playing family. I always loved that city and so in my early 20's started going there every year using my 90 day Visa, I was learning how to write songs, recording demo's, and eventually recorded my own solo album in 2007 Produced by John Carter Cash at the Cash Cabin Studio. That album didn't do much for me, but what it did do was provide a chance meeting with one Brad Jones on the day I was at the Mastering studio finishing up my solo album. So I met Brad briefly and after he left the studio, the Engineer told me he was a great producer. Not being one for absorbing album credits, I actually didn't realize I owned several albums he had produced that I loved. Anyway that brief meeting always stuck in my head and when it came time for Rackhouse to record our original material I suggested Brad to the rest of the band and they liked the idea. So I got a number for him and called and he loved what he heard. We actually asked him would he come to Ireland to record us, save money on flights haha, but he said we should go there and use all his amazing vintage Guitars and Mic's which would help the sound of the recordings. So that's what we done and we're so glad because we had such a top class experience all round in Nashville and Music City really took to Rackhouse Pilfer too, we do hope to return.
5. How was it coming from the West Coast of Ireland and suddenly find yourself playing with the some of the greatest musicians of all time – like Harold Bradley who has played with Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis just to mention a few?
To be honest it was mind blowing having Harold Bradley in the Studio with us, not only has played on records by the Artists you've mentioned but he has played on virtually all of Roy Orbison's records and Patsy Cline's too. Harold and his Brother Owen were pioneers in making Nashville Music City back in 50's, creating recording techniques that had never been done before, that's why they created some of the most timeless records ever made!! He came in and played his signature "Tic Tac Bass" on our tunes "Angela" and "Me and a Polar Bear", it's a very subtle percussive bedding type sound, but it's so effective in moving the song along, and so recognisable once your ear tunes into it. It's the same sound he recorded on so many huge hit records of the 50's and 60's. It was just amazing to have him do that on our album and get to work with him.
6. You have had an amazing year in 2014 and you have just won the Hot Press Magazine Readers Choice Award "Hotties Folk/Trad Band 2015". What have been the highlights so far?
Yeah winning that award was one of the best things so far, I mean if not only for the fact that we were in with Christy Moore, Sharron Shannon and real heavy weights of the Irish Music scene, we can't believe we won it really, but all the credit must go to our fans that took the time to vote for us! Winning the Freezer Sessions Live Band of the Year was class too, again thanks to our fans. Being invited to play at President Higgins Summer garden party at Aras an Uachatarain last Summer was such an honour too. Of course recording in Nashville, so many great things have happened, we're very grateful.
7. What can the audience expect at a gig?
Well as I said before, we always play our hearts out with tons of energy. I mean we can get chilled sometimes too for periods of our sets or albums, we don't keep things at 100 Miles an Hour all the time. But generally it's all about the upbeat energetic stuff and we have a lot of fun, which most nights is a two way street between us and our audience. A Rackhouse gig is just lots of fun.
8. What makes a good song and a good gig?
Tough question we're no experts, but I'll try haha.
A good song... Something that connects with it's audience. Whether that be emotionally or energetically. I think that's how I'd at least look at answering that from a Rackhouse perspective. We got some slower songs that have gotten a great reaction from our fans and critics, I think the reason they're recieved well is that they are written from a place of truth, I suppose you're getting a piece of the writer in them which makes them genuine and in turn when that translates to the listener they can connect with it and make it their own and feel somewhat personal with the piece of music. On the other hand we strive to be upbeat and those songs are actually very hard to write, I suppose in those ones you're looking for hooks or catchy phrases or riffs, something exciting, fun.
A good gig... I think for us the good gigs are always the ones where the band and audience are in it together, a two way street. We feed off their energy and they feed off ours and it's one big beautiful thing, gigs can be lame sometimes when the audience or band isn't into it, thankfully that rarely happens.
The biggest thing on our schedule for this year is that we want to try and make another album before the end of the year. We've only just begun writing songs for it, they're starting to come, so at the moment it's all about getting those written, rehearsed and demo'd. We gig constantly also, it's always been our philosophy to hit the road and gig in as many places as we can to build our fan base from grass roots level up, so we're always trying to get to new towns and venues. We also already have been confirmed for some great festival slots in 2015.... Arainn Ceilteach on Inish Mor March 14th, Vantastival, Sea Sessions, Hilden Brewery, La Roche France and loads more to be announced. It's going to be another crazy busy year and we love it!!
Not really you done good, and I bet you're glad you didn't ask anymore judging by the length of my answers!! Thanks a million to you and all your readers, Best wishes to you all. Come jump on the Rackhouse bus, it'd be great to see you at gig. RHP
EP Review: Monsoon Season - Elements
EP Review: Monsoon Season - Elements
Written by Peter N
I adore this debut EP from Dublin based World Music band 'Monsoon Season'. Heavily influenced by the soulful reggae vibes of the 80's Monsoon Season make swooning catchy pop music that sounds both fresh and nostalgic.
The bass guitar brings the grove, the sax and flute brings the swoon along with the Suzanne Vega style vocals of Helen Holligan and you've got a quality band that I'm looking forward to seeing live.
The four songs representing Air, Earth, Water and Fire compliment each other very well. I'd say 'Drifting' and 'Sunrise' edge the other tracks in terms of quality but the whole EP is a joy to listen to. I'll be hoping to see this band on a number of Festival line-ups in the Summer so I can chill to these soulful sounds.

Live Review: King Charles - The Academy, Sat 21st Feb [Review by Claire McConnell]
Live Review: King Charles - The Academy, Sat 21st Feb
Review by Claire McConnell
Recognisable by his penchant for flamboyant and theatrical fashion, his ability to pen the perfect pop tune with undeniable nuances of glam, afro- beat, folk hip-hop, rock & roll and country, the new-wave force that is King Charles rolled into Dublin's Academy last Saturday.
Overall, King Charles delivered on my expectations; I came, I sang, I danced and had a great time as did my gig buddy who was entirely unfamiliar with his music. The new material shows great promise even if upon first listen, it tends lean heavier on the folkier side than the exuberance of LoveBlood.

Album Review: Cry Monster Cry - Rhythm of Dawn [Review by Una Begley]
Album Review: Cry Monster Cry - Rhythm of Dawn
Review by Una Begley
One of the more exciting releases of 2015 is Cry Monster Cry's debut album "Rhythm of Dawn" which will be released on March 6th, with a Tower Records instore show set for March 7th, and an album launch in Whelans on March 14th, with support from Biggles Flys Again.
Cry Monster Cry are brothers Richie and Jamie Martin, who follow up their 2012 "The Fallen EP" with a really beautiful album. While their music always contrasted their sweet vocal harmonies with darker lyrics, this album also showcases a depth of musical complexity that was not as evident on their previous release.
It is hard to choose a highlight on an album that aims to bring the listener on a cylical journey, where the songs have more meaning when considered as part of the whole. That said, "Starling", current single "Postcards" and "The Distance" are standout tracks, in addition to old favourite "On Tangled Shores" which had featured also on their EP.
"Rhythm of Dawn" - a stunning folk album from the talented Cry Monster Cry, very much worth waiting for. 9/10

The Charlotte Interview: Eamonn O'Connor from Lucky Bones
The Charlotte Interview: Eamonn O'Connor from Lucky Bones
by Charlotte Jokobsen
Can you tell us about yourself and your band Lucky Bones?
I guess I'm to blame for Lucky Bones. While tramping around the USA in 2009 I met with producer Stephen Ceresia at Kansas Irish Music Fest and we hit it off. I headed back to his studio just outside Austin, Texas a few months later and we recorded "Together We Are All Alone" with some of Austin's finest players. On my return to Ireland I got the band together (I guess that was 2010) as promotion for an album and we haven't been able to get rid of each other since.
There's been a change or two in personnel since, some have managed to escape. We've recorded another album since (Someones Son-2013) and our new EP "Blessed" is on the verge of release. We've played some great gigs and we've suffered some real toilets too but we're still here making music and we have a great time doing it.
How would you describe your music?
Like Mike Scott and Willie Nelson at a session in a Dublin flat at 2am intoxicated and playing songs by The Band. That or alt-country.
What have the highlights been so far?
Being handed my very first printed copy of our debut album was a proud moment. Being Album of The Week on RTE RADIO for our second is up there. A couple of sold out tours in Germany have also been very special. There's been loads of special moments.
Has touring in the States and especially recording in Texas influenced your songwriting?
I think so yes .I think consciously or subconsciously you can't helped but be drawn to a sound that surrounds you. I've always be drawn to the Americana sound which itself has its own roots firmly steeped in Irish music. I'm a huge fan of Texas songwriters Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clarke and Steve Earle. While we were recording our second album in Texas we were lucky enough to get to see Willie Nelson play to a small crowd for a TV special. He sang "Always On My Mind" which is one of my all time favorite songs. Moments like that have had a huge influence on my own song writing.
Can you tell us ore about your new EP?
The "Blessed" EP is an amalgamation of a few different recording sessions. Three songs which we left from the "Someones Son" LP-"Maria", "Love In Vain" and "Greensleeves", "Blessed" which we recorded last year in Dublin and a Icarus which I recorded at home more recently.
What is the song "Icarus" about?
"Icarus" is a tribute song to a friend and an original member of our band Billy Morley. Billy passed away suddenly in January 2014. He was a great storyteller, a brilliant guitar player and an all round good guy. We miss him but were glad to have had the chance to have known him.
What are your plans for this year? Any solo gigs or tours with Lucky Bones?
We've got two tours of Germany, we'll be playing at some of the Irish summer festivals as well as touring around Ireland and we're hoping to make it back to the USA before year end, I also tour Scandinavia on a very frequent basis, so four or five more tours up there this year too. There's always plenty in the pipeline as far as gigs and tours are concerned. We keep on rolling on to the next town or venue and will do till we derail or the engine blows up!

Live Review: Blog Party - The Sugar Club [Review by Una Begley]
Live Review: Blog Party - The Sugar Club
Review by Una Begley
The 'Blog Party' event in the Sugar Club brought some of the best up-and-coming acts and DJ crews of 2014 to the stage, with the range of styles on offer reflecting the diverse Irish music blogs who had chosen them. MC for the night was Abner Brown and they did it in style.
The 'Blog Party' event in the Sugar Club brought some of the best up-and-coming acts and DJ crews of 2014 to the stage, with the range of styles on offer reflecting the diverse Irish music blogs who had chosen them. MC for the night was Abner Brown and they did it in style.
First up was Nialler 9's choice Carriages, who blend producer Harry Bookless' field-recordings with rich electronic layers and the stunning vocals of Aaron Page. They may have been the openers, but for me, they were the highlight of the night and set a high bar for those who followed.
Next was Le Cool's selection Dear Desert. Having seen them before (http://www.ceolcollective.com/reviews/gigs/live-review--columbia-mills---whelans-upstairs-nov-29th.html) I knew what to expect, and they didn't disappoint. Channeling the 80s but avoiding cheesiness is a tricky one to pull off, but Dear Desert do it in style. I'd be surprised if they aren't snapped up by one of the big labels soon.
The Last Mixed Tape chose September Girls, who brought their noise pop sound to the stage with tonnes of swagger. While not my personal taste, they were the first act of the night to get people to the floor and were a real crowd-pleaser.
However, the final live act, Goldenplec's pick Bitch Falcon, were the ones that really got the crowd going. Bursting onto the stage with massive riffs and a loud, grunge sound, Bitch Falcon were the perfect closing live act as there were few not on their feet by the end of the set.
Wrapping up the night were Choice Cuts best of 2014 DIP, WellKnown and DiscoTekken, who kept the party going well into the wee hours. A unique idea that created an opportunity to showcase some of the diversity of home grown music around at the moment, the Abner Brown's Blog Party was a real musical treat.

EP Review: The Clicks - Time Goes By
EP Review: The Clicks - Time Goes By
by Peter Nagle
The Clicks are Dublin singer-songwriters Keith O'Brien and Shane Davis and 'Time Goes By' is their debut release under the name 'The Clicks'. The five track EP showcases both vocal styles, quality songwriting as well as including a quality cover version of one of my favourite songs.
The titles track opens the EP and is a fine folk tune with the right amount of strings to add a shine to an average track. 'I Know I've Won' is another really pleasant country folk song with superb harmonies. 'Bodies' sounds a little like The Avett Brothers and is the best song on the EP. Keith's vocals really shines on this song.
The cover included is of Ryan Adam's 'Oh My Sweet Carolina'. The EP version is a live recording and it does a great song justice. To finish the EP there's also the obligatory Lullaby song that is actually a beautifully composed love song and brings a charming EP to a nice close.
'Time Goes By' is a quality EP with fantastic vocals and harmonies from two of our finest songwriters.

1. Who are you?
Andy Harper from the band Vagabonds and Thieves.
2. Where are you based?
Kildare, the band practices in my home studio out in Rathangan.
3. What achievements do you want me to know about?
We have just recorded our E.p. all by our little selves. We wrote recorded and produced it ourselves and are getting it ready to send for mastering.
4. What are you up to now?
Now we are getting ready for the release and writing. We have in the region of 20 originals so apart from gigging as much as we can we also want to plan making the album a solid collection of tunes.
5. Name something unique about you or/and your product?
We don't really stick to one style, we have a tendency to experiment with whatever feels good at the time, oh and we have a bouzouki player who plays through a marshall.
6. What is the best song ever written?
To me Pearl Jams alive, I was 11 and it was the first song that got me into guitar music, first time I heard it everything changed. I was into Jackson 5 and off the Wall, but when I heard the riff followed by Vedders voice that was it, everything changed that day.
7. What's the best album ever made?
Ten Pearl Jam, to me just perfect album from the last era of the vinyl album. Where you had two albums in one. First side was pure rock then flip over it starts with oceans its a totally different vibe. That's the sad part about cds and mp3s you don't get that break to split a record into two, plus artwork is always cooler on vinyl.
8. What are your future plans?
Release albums and play as much as we can.
9. Where can I spend money on you or your product?

How gaming is revolutionizing education
December 5, 2012
It's the 21st century. Teenagers, on average, play 30 to 53 hours (depending on rules) of video games on consoles, PCs and mobile devices. Technology and gaming is changing the way we learn, which was the question asked at a Zócalo Public Square event.
James Paul Gee, the Mary Lou Fulton Presidential Professor of Literacy Studies, co-founder of the Center for Games and Impact and member of the National Academy of Education, first answered the question, "What does a game really do to the brain?" before an overflowing audience at Los Angeles's Museum of Contemporary Art, Dec. 4.

Filming has already begun for a business reality television programme where staff can step up to the management chain and compete to replace the boss!
