CMS Cameron McKenna and Dundas & Wilson have put 60 jobs at risk following their planned merger in five week's time.
Dundas & Wilson has put 40 of its support roles under consultation and CMS Cameron McKenna could lose 20, including from its third-party suppliers Integreon, Initial and Xerox. The two firms agreed to merge on 12 December 2013 (12 December 2013).
A CMS spokesperson said: "This merger brings benefits to our clients and the majority of our staff, but as with any combination it is regrettably to be expected that there are some duplication of roles resulting in redundancy.
"This is an unsettling time for those potentially impacted and we will be doing our best to support them over the coming weeks."
It is not the first time CMS has put support roles in consultation at its third-party outsourcer Integreon. The firm shut down part of its £600m facilities services arrangement with the provider last year (28 March 2013).
But it is the first formal redundancy consultation launched after the vote, though Dundas has lost several partners since the merger announcement.
Among those were former chairman David Hardie (7 January 2014). Environment, health and safety chief Mark Brumwell, employment partner Mandy Laurie and former Bank of Scotland partner Allan Wardhaugh have also quit (8 January 2014).
The two firms have been engaged in a flurry of meetings to bond together teams and practice areas. They are understood to have already attended join pitches for new panel spots and are in talks about how to manage shared clients (17 February 2014).
Nine Dundas partners are understood to have been handed £280,000 income guarantees as part of a high-level package decided before Christmas (14 March 2014), which also involved a two-year partner lock in (27 January 2014).
The CMS spokesperson said: "To build the best structure for the combined business, we have looked at both firms and relevant third party suppliers as part of this process."

All We Have Is This Moment: Katy Perry's 10 Best Deep Cuts
From pop-rock to dance-pop to hip-hop, Katy Perry is the queen of switching up her Top 40-busting sound.
The pop star first burst onto the scene in 2008 when her controversially electrifying ode to bi-curiosity, "I Kissed a Girl," invaded the airwaves and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The same year, she released her debut album, One of the Boys, a collection of flirty, tongue-in-cheek power-pop and rock bops that matched her (at the time) technicolor rockabilly/pinup girl style. In 2010, Perry veered down a different road, switching gears from rock to pure pop on her record-breaking smash, Teenage Dream, which delivered a string of massive hits, from "California Gurls" to "Firework."
A deluxe album re-release was unveiled in 2012 (The Complete Confection), but it took until late 2013 for the musician to drop her third album, Prism, which saw Perry dip her toes deeper into the waters of hip-hop ("Dark Horse") and disco ("Birthday"). And while the pop star is best known for churning out major radio hits, her non-single tracks also pack a punch of pop personality.
Below, discover Katy Perry's ten best album deep cuts, from sweet, synthy ballads like "Pearl" to rollicking indie rock jams like "Fingerprints."
"Hummingbird Heartbeat," Teenage Dream
One of the album tracks off Perry's sophomore LP, many critics (Billboard, Digital Spy) agreed that this Tricky-produced song should have been pushed as a single during the artist's Teenage Dream era—and we agree. A starry-eyed, synthed-up '80s-styled rock banger featuring a driving electric guitar riff and written lovingly (at the time) about Perry's ex, Russell Brand, "Hummingbird Heartbeat" is is pure, sweet, fluttering pop bliss celebrating the "birds and the bees." It gets our heart racing every time.

"Legendary Lovers," Prism
Dreamy and sensually-charged, "Legendary Lovers"—co-written by Bonnie McKee—is another track many assumed would be given the single treatment. Featuring a trap-meets-bhangra beat, flickering sitar cords and exotic, throbbing electronic production, the world music-inspired song finds Perry musing lyrical on karma, sexual pleasure and destiny while also shouting out various famous historical and fictional romantic figures, from Cleopatra to Juliet.

"Fingerprints," One of the Boys
Yes, kids, it's true: Katy Perry was once a burgeoning rock princess and not the glossy pop diva she is today. Her assertive musical grit and Alanis Morissette leanings are no more apparent than on "Fingerprints," an energetic, defiant "fist in the air" rock anthem off her 2009 debut album. Over a rollicking flurry of zippy guitar riffs, Perry sings, in her gravelly tone, about wanting to leave a legacy: "I'm worth more then they ask for then / The toe-tag generation full of regret / Oh I won't settle no!" Mission accomplished.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Spiritual," Prism
Produced by Greg Kurstin and co-written by Perry's then-boyfriend John Mayer, "Spiritual" is nirvana in pop form: Over a mid-tempo beat and a soundscape of '90s trip-hop, the artist sings airily about a lover who "makes [her] float" on this cut off the deluxe version of Prism. It's totally ethereal and blissed-out, making it one of the pop star's most pleasant, feather-light listens.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Pearl," Teenage Dream
One of the more emotionally raw offerings from the pop star's discography, "Pearl" is a surprisingly tender synth-pop ballad about a young woman caught in an abusive relationship. Speaking to Rolling Stone in 2010, Perry admitted that the slow-throbbing track is actually self-referential, making it all the more poignant as she sings about a girl who's "become a shell of herself." It's heartbreaking and hopeful all at once.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Lost," One of the Boys
The calm before the storm: The then-burgeoning pop superstar muses, in her raw honey hues, on "fair-weather friends" and being "so sick of this town pulling [her] down." Anchored by a melodic trip-hop beat and twinkling music box synths, this light rock song draws some sonic and emotional comparisons to Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You."
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"This Moment," Prism
Perry tackles the fleeting passage of time and missed opportunities on this sparkling Prism cut. A big, rattling electro-pop tune produced by Benny Blanco and Stargate, the singer ruminates on the unspoken nature of tomorrow and the importance of seizing (and reveling in) the moment while you can: "Can you tell me, who called a race? / Can anyone stay in one place? / And when you get to the finish line / Will you wish for more time?" she asks, her voice shimmering. It's an exhilarating ode to existential FOMO, and in a better world, it just may have received the single treatment.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Not Like the Movies," Teenage Dream
A flickering mid-tempo piano ballad chronicling the bittersweet search for The One, Perry's glassy vocals glide on "Not Like the Movies," the closing track off Teenage Dream. Technically released as a promotional single, the heart-wrenching track was written both before and after Perry entered into a relationship with her estranged husband, Russell Brand, making it all the more sorrowful and intimate atmosphere. "I didn't feel the fairytale feeling, no / Am I a stupid girl for even dreaming that I could?" Perry sings on the cinematic ballad, breaking our collective hearts.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Walking on Air," Prism
Perry tries her hand at '90s deep house on this gigantic dance track and promotional single off Prism—and it pays off. Inspired by the rave thumpers of CeCe Peniston and Crystal Waters, the pop star flexes her chops as a dance diva on this euphoric Max Martin-produced banger, belting out stratospheric vocals about a love that "even heaven is jealous of." Once the gospel choir kicks in towards the end, you're already so high up that it's impossible to come back down.
Subscribe to K-Fox 95.5 on
"Double Rainbow," Prism
One of Perry's more ethereal offerings, "Double Rainbow" abandons the high energy pop and hip hop of Prism for something more shimmery and quiet. A stunningly restrained synth-ballad—all breathy and airy and awash in sonic pastel hues—this Greg Kurstin-produced track sounds like sunbeams breaking through the clouds after a thunder storm. Meanwhile, the singer's wistful vocals float, benefiting from Sia's miraculous pop penmanship.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy refused to confirm the hopes raised by his military chief on a December release for the two journalists held hostage in Afghanistan, their support group said Friday.
"The president has been very careful and has not given a date for the liberation of our friends," the support group's spokesman Richard Coffin said after its members met with Sarkozy for the first time since the kidnapping nine months ago.
"I will not commit myself to give set dates, France continues to work over there for the liberation of our colleagues," Coffin said the president had told them.
Earlier in the day, France's top officer had raised hopes that the two men, Stephane Taponier and Herve Ghesquiere, could be home for December 25.
Admiral Edouard Guillaud, France's head of military staff told Europe 1 radio. "We've been able to speak to them by telephone and we have other proofs of life that show they are coping bravely with the shock."
Asked if the reporters might be home in time for Christmas with their families, the admiral said: "That's a reasonable hope, yes."
Stephane Taponier and Herve Ghesquiere, a reporter and a cameraman for the state-owned television channel France 3, were kidnapped in Afghanistan on December 30 last year in an area rife with anti-government insurgents.

With the changing economic equations the growth can be derived either by bringing more resources into the economic system or by adding to productivity. Thus the role of competitiveness gains significance as an economy exhausts its reservoir of abundant resources. A nation must therefore concentrate on developing skills and competencies for increasing its competitiveness so that it can establish itself on the global platform. This Endeavour requires sustained attention to provide a facilitative environment for investment and entrepreneurship. It requires shifting to more value added production, internalizing innovation, driving skill development and research and financing growth effectively.
The Eleventh International Conference on "Developing Competencies and Skills For Global Competitiveness" invites empirical, conceptual research papers and case studies from academicians, professionals, consultants, practitioners, scholars and students related to the theme and sub themes of the conference. The selected papers of the registered delegates out of those accepted for presentation in the conference will be published in the form of a book, which will be released during the inaugural session of the conference.

in priceless, she's dressed to kill throughout the whole movie
wearing designer dress after designer dress.
in amelie, she's kinda frumpy but in a cute way.
in dirty pretty things, she's down to earth-very gritty-
but it's the best movie (a 8.5-9) i've seen her in.
let's not discuss the da vinci code.
He's Just Not That Into You - 9
Dark Knight - 9
Excellent films!
Ponyo - 10
I'd give it more, but Spirited Away was even better. ;) Who would've thought that I could still sit there, watch some hand-drawn animation, and keep saying, "Wow..."
it might get loud-a rockumentary with guitar gods jimmy page, edge from u2 and jack white
from the white stripes/raconteurs. i give it a solid 9. anyone with at least a passing interest in the
history and future of rock n' roll should see it at their local indie moviehouse or rent it when it comes
out. in this group, page ends up looking like the straight-up player (regardless of the sonic vocabulary
he added/modified/enhanced over the years), edge comes out as the tech geek and jack white plays
as the deconstructionist, going back to the bluesy roots of rock n' roll (even more than page's early
years w/ yardbirds & zep). those that actually play guitar may score it higher and i wouldn't argue
with them. goosebump-inducing footage, especially with page.
I don't even like Tarantino, but I thoroughly enjoyed Inglorious Basterds...give it an 8
in the loop-a foreign affairs/political/current events satire not so loosely
based on the us/british-led united nations resolution to invade iraq (colin powell
anyone?). deals mainly with the networking/politicking/backstabbing/backscratching
aspects that unfold before tv cameras start rolling. obscenity-laden and unfolds
at a frantic pace but that just adds to the "ambiance." some good performances
and one great performance by the scottish alpha-male. i give it a 7.5.
a busy weekend supporting the local indie theater. :)
also a midnight showing of a clockwork orange: 9.5-10.
i hadn't seen it it about 15 years and had "misremembered"
just how intense & disturbing it was.
no wonder it generated so much controversy in 1971!
lots of twenty-something's and barely street-legal kids in
attendance. judging from the overheard post-viewing
comments and looking at their post-viewing faces:eek:, i don't think
many in attendance had seen the flick before. even though
it's been nearly forty years since the film's release, it still
retains enormous visual impact and societal commentary.
the passage of time has not lessened its' power.
kubrick...what a genius.
Defending Your Life
4 stars out of 5. I really charming little film. Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep who's about as good in this as she has been in anything.
Kill Bill 1&2, back to back.
9.875. Loses fractions for underuse of Michael Madsen.
UP. 9.5. The best movie I've seen all year, new or old, animated or live action.
If the viewer isn't at least misty-eyed in the first ten minutes, they have no heart.
District 9. Best Sci-fi I have seen. The 10mins the male lead spends in the Robosuit is worth 4 hours of The Transformers.
movies but it is the slowest/arguably most developed of his efforts (in a single movie
release format) and lacks the explosiveness of the kill bills, pulp fiction, inglourious
basterds, et al. least favorite is reservoir dogs but i know that is some people's fave.
regardless, has any director ever made the inane & trivial so essential & central to their
movies in a good way? with tarantino, it is indeed about the journey just as much as (and
perhaps even more so than) the destination.
Anal Lesbians - 1 out of 10.
A huge disappointment. It was about two fat ugly women dressed in overalls who were labelling all the containers in their fridge.
sticking with the dirty/nasty theme, watched the political history film
frost/nixon. highly recommended for those interested in
history, poli sci or pop culture.
i give it a 8.5-9. frank langella is fantastic as richard m. nixon. what a
complex and twisted character-fascinating case study.
Last seen:
Stardust (again) - 8.5
... which inspired me to re-read the original graphic novel (writing by Neil Gaiman, 175 paintings by Charles Vess) - 10! :love:
I feel like I should go see it again before it leaves, for no other reason than to contribute another few bucks to good cinema.
Oh, yeah --
It Might Get Loud - maybe a 7, I guess. I'm not a guitar player, so maybe some of the actual technique went over my head. Putting Jack, Jimmy, and The Edge together on a stage to chat seemed contrived, unfortunately, but it was interesting to see three radically different approaches to the instrument.
I guess I wanted to see more depth, more of the weird **** that only fellow performers seem to understand, and maybe some revelations. Most of the time I was going, "Yeah, I know... I get that... played weirder stuff than that myself..."
Don't get me wrong -- the musicianship was outstanding, and the stories they told were interesting. I just wanted to see more, I guess.
"Observe and Report"
"Observe and Report"
New on DVD. Checked it out last night and would give it a "7" for an interesting performance by Seth Rogen. Dark comedy feels long despite a running time under 90 minutes. Satisfying conclusion.

Charles Martin Jones was born in 1912 in Spokane, Wash. and began his distinguished career in animation in 1932, as a cel washer at Ubbe Iwerks Studio. In 1936, he became an animator for Leon Schlesinger, later bought by Warner Brothers. He stayed with Warner Brothers until the studio closed in 1961; during his employment there, he was animator and director for such characters as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Marvin the Martian. He has been honored with four Academy awards and directed one of the most popular Christmas specials of all time, the Peabody award-winning Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas (1966). His What's Opera, Doc? (1957), in which Bugs and Elmer Fudd do their own version of Wagner's Ring Cycle, was the first animated film to be included in the National Film Registry (1992). Chuck Jones is also the author, adapter, editor, and illustrator of several children's books, including Rudyard Kipling's Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (1982) and William the Backwards Skunk (1987).
Steven Spielberg is a director and filmaker.
Matt Groening, 1954 - Matt Groening was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. He moved to Los Angeles in 1980 to start writing the comic strip "Life in Hell" for the newspaper he worked for. The strip had premiered in 1977 and appears in over 250 newspapers worldwide. Groening got his big break when the Fox television network was looking for a filler for "The Tracy Ullman Show." James L. Brooks had seen some of the "Life in Hell" strips and offered Groening a chance to create 30 second skits for the show. The skits were so well received that the newly titled "The Simpsons" for which Groening was now creator and executive producer of, debuted on Fox as a half hour Christmas special on December 17, 1989 and as a regular series on January 14, 1990. In 1993, Groening formed "Bongo Comics Group" which publishes "Simpsons Comics," "Itchy and Scratchy Comics," "Bartman," "Radioactive Man," "Lisa Comics" and "Krusty Comics." In 1995, he founded and published "Zongo Comics," which included "Jimbo" and "Fleener" Groening oversees all of the licensing and merchandising of the "The Simpsons." He is also a best selling author, publishing books such as "Life in Hell," "Work is Hell" and "School is Hell," based on his "Life in Hell" comic strip, and "Bart Simpson's Guide to Life" based on "The Simpsons" animation. Groening is also creator and Executive Producer of "Futurama," another animated prime time television show.

Tesla is riding high off the success of Model 3 launch and reservations, but there's more to come after the launch of the $35,000 electric car: smaller and more affordable Tesla cars. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, speaking in Norway, said that after the Model 3, the next generation of Tesla vehicles will include smaller and more affordable vehicles:
I'm super excited about being able to produce a car that most people can afford. And there will be future cars that are even more affordable down the road, but, with something like the Model 3, it's designed such that roughly half the people will be able to afford the car. Then, with fourth generation and smaller cars, we'll ultimately be in the position where everyone will be able to afford the car.
Musk has been clear from the start that the goal of Tesla was to create affordable electric cars, but admitting the challenges of the market and that raising capital and awareness required the production of low-volume, high-price cars like the Model S and Model X first.
The Model 3, due to start production at the the end of 2017, is the most affordable vehicle Tesla has unveiled to date, but it's still out-of-reach for the budget of roughly half the car-buying market (not to mention something of a budgetary stretch for a good portion of the market that could conceivably afford it), There's a reason that the Toyota Camry and Corolla are the best-selling cars in the United States — they're good cars and are priced at, respectively, roughly 2/3 and 1/2 the price of the Model 3.
Tesla does have a huge challenge to come in scaling to produce the Model 3. With nearly 400,000 reservations already placed, Tesla as a company has produced right around 100,000 vehicles to date. The Gigafactory 1 battery manufacturing facility under construction in Nevada will go a long way towards fulfilling Tesla's expansion needs, but even it too won't be enough should Tesla's goal of a truly affordable EV come to light.

The Ark: Floating Hotel Designed By Remistudio
It looks like a cross between Noah's Ark and something out of a 1970s science-fiction film. The futuristic Ark Hotel has been designed to withstand floods caused by rising sea levels. The floating behemoth is a 'biosphere' conceived as a safe, self-contained haven in case of disaster. Boasting a green, self-sustaining environment for guests, the shell-shaped hotel would withstand tidal waves and other natural disasters.
'The Ark is an attempt to answer the challenges of our time.
'Provision is made for an independent life support system.
'All the plants are chosen according to compatibility, illumination and efficiency of oxygen producing, and with the aim of creating an attractive and comfort space.
'Through the transparent roof there is enough light for plants and for illuminating the inner rooms.'

After a brief, but picturesque drive up Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford, a sight emerges that boggles the senses. A massive structure that is both grand and modern is nestled amongst the mountainous, woodsy area. This beautiful building is a Bed & Breakfast, as well as a Corporate Lodge called The Lodge at Twin Creeks.
The lodge was built in 1989 and was meant to be the home for a multi-generational family. They intended to grow their families here and continue to pass it on through generations to come.
The Lodge has since been added on to and expanded, and while I may not be an expert craftsman, it's instantly evident that the Lodge was beautifully designed and is full of quality workmanship. The floor, beams, trim and finishing all came from a single fir tree that fell on the property back in the 1920's and was milled on-site. Some people may know the Lodge by it's former and very fitting name, Hidden Fir Lodge.
Pat and Peggy, the current owners of the Lodge originally discovered it after Peggy catered an event there approximately nine years ago. At the time, it was not for sale and they lived in Hope, with no intention of moving. Fast forward several years and Pat and Peggy had moved to Abbotsford and were keeping their "next step" options open. When they heard that the Lodge was for sale, they knew that this was what they wanted to do and purchased it in June of 2010.
Pat, a Pastor, maintains the yard and property, including chopping the 40 cords of wood that are used to heat the Lodge in the winter. Peggy's past experiences as a food services manager, owner of a housekeeping business, and busy mother of six (now grown-up) children has truly prepared her for the task that comes with running the Lodge. While she believes her best job has been that of a Mother, she has always loved hospitality and has a deep passion for creating a warm and inviting atmosphere for their guests.
The Lodge is open year-round and hosts four unique Bed & Breakfast suites, each with its own private deck. In addition, multiple rooms accommodate group retreats, such as sports teams, corporate team building events, family reunions and more. The group areas have multiple beds, bathrooms and kitchenettes, as well as access to the yard, with a fire pit and walking/hiking trails nearby. They also host day meetings for businesses and have both small and large meeting spaces, including a separate and private building.
For personal guests that stay in the Bed & Breakfast suites, breakfast is included with your stay. For groups that visit, all of the meals are catered using fresh, local and in-season products. The menus are personally prepared with the intent to make guests feel cared for and thought of. In fact, every person who comes to the Lodge is treated as a personal guest. This vast, but inviting, space truly comes alive when it is filled with people.
We'd love for you to visit and experience The Lodge at Twin Creeks for yourself. Leave a comment below to have your name entered to win a two night stay (double occupancy) at this gorgeous Fraser Valley lodge (a $350 value)! Winner will be chosen at random and announced on September 19, 2011.
For an extra entry, please post the following on Twitter: "I entered to win a 2 night stay at The Lodge at Twin Creeks from @FVPulse. You should enter, too! http://ow.ly/6l7cI"
Update: Congratulations to Sean F – enjoy your stay. This contest is now closed.

2006 Acura MDX - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Love the MDX, hate the mileage
By AED2491 on
Vehicle2006 Acura MDX Touring 4dr SUV AWD w/Nav, Entertainment System (3.5L 6cyl 5A)
ReviewI love the MDX. I drove a company car for years, and switched jobs so I had to purchase a car for the first time in over 10 years. I purchased it due mostly to the fact that it was the best- fitting SUV for me. (I am 6'4" tall, so the leg room was what led me to the MDX). Looked at other mid-size SUV's (Toyota, Volvo, VW, etc.) and others were just too small for me. All the features in the car are outstanding!
Best FeaturesNav system is great. Sound system as well. On-star, XM (wish it had Sirius though), and the many other amenities like back-up camera, heated seats, steering wheel audio controls, voice- activation. Acura does a top notch job with this car!
Worst FeaturesMileage is not what is advertised. I rarely get over 17 MPG, and it is advertised as 17 city/23 highway. But I suppose if you want to drive an SUV (and an Acura SUV in particular) you should expect that fuel will be expensive. Other than that, it is a great car!

First ride Yamaha R3 review
Gain experience on it if youre an A2 licence holder Cherish and enjoy it if youre not
THERE'S a good feeling about motorcycling in 2015. Superbikes have gone silly again, smashing the 200hp barrier, sales are up for the first time in years and sub-500cc machines have become more exciting than they've been in decades.
That's because, instead of producing bikes simply to meet the 47hp A2 power limit, manufacturers are reviving the class with machines to desire whether or not you have a restricted licence.
Last year KTM gave us the fully-faired RC390, using the same frame and single-cylinder engine as the Duke 390.
This year Kawasaki introduced the Z300, a naked version of the excellent parallel-twin Ninja 300.
And now Yamaha has launched a new addition to its YZF-R sports bike family, the R3.
It's all new, with a parallel-twin engine of 321cc acting as a stressed member in a diamond-type steel frame. That gives it 25 more cubes than the 296cc Ninja and Z300, and five more horses, at 42hp compared to 37.
Of course it's A2-compliant but Yamaha is keen that it be seen as more than that. It is, the firm says, a 'supersport bike for everyday use,' whose target audience only 'includes A2 licence holders'.
That's because the market for bikes designed as A2 compliant is too small, with many riders choosing to get a more powerful machine and have it restricted. The R3 has to offer something for the more experienced too.
And it does. It's an eager, engaging little sports bike, with a revvy, flexible engine which is as useful and fun on the road as on track.
It felt effortless to control from the moment a wheel turned, like a bike I'd been riding for years rather than one I'd just swung a leg over for the first time at the press launch in Spain. A generous steering and high clip-on bars, mounted above the top yoke, make for super-easy low-speed manoeuvrability.
The engine is revvy, with a satisfying top end. Peak power is at 10,750rpm and peak torque, of 21lbft, at 9,000. At 11,000 a white light illuminated at the top of the dash, ahead of the red line and rev limiter at 12,500.
It doesn't feel quite as free-revving as the Ninja and Z300, which red-line at 13,000, but that impression could simply be down to the R3's better spread of power across the range.
Where the Kawasakis sing at high revs, in what's not unlike a power-band, the R3 shares more of the character of a bigger-capacity engine. It pulls more strongly at 5,000rpm, letting you be generally lazier about what gear you're in, whether tackling corners or overtaking on the motorway.
In fourth gear at 5,000rpm, there's enough drive to sweep from one tight bend to the next on winding roads, and make good, smooth progress without changing down. That's until you see a slightly longer straight, at which point you'll point definitely want to knock it down a gear and nail it.
The launch ride included a couple of brief stretches of motorway, where the R3 felt comfortable at high speed, without excessive vibration. Like KTM's RC390, it's got a more upright riding position than typical of sports bikes, and the R3 also still manages to provide an acceptable amount of wind protection, with a screen that widens toward the top. The riding position didn't feel cramped to me, at 5'9", and I had no complaints about comfort all day.
Naturally, the ride also included miles of perfect twisty roads, near Tarragona on the Mediterranean coast. Here for the first time I felt I could have done with a little more readily-accessible power from the single 298mm front brake disc and twin-pot caliper. As on KTM's RC390, the power is there but to find it I had to move my two fingers a little further out along the non-adjustable lever than I'm accustomed to. Sometimes I'd already begun braking when that realisation dawned, by which point it's too late to change position.
But it's something any rider would adapt to, and with the extra leverage gained from using more of the lever, power is ample. Another journalist, who brakes using all his fingers, said he found no suck lack of bite.
The suspension, a pre-load adjustable shock and non-adjustable right-way-up fork, is softer than the Z300's, which I tested only a couple of weeks ago. The R3 is better damped than the RC390, which is soft-ish and bouncy.
The Yamaha coped well on the carefully chosen, perfectly surfaced roads of the launch ride. I wonder if it would acquit itself quite so well on the less well-maintained A-roads of the UK.
After the track-like roads, we hit some track-like track, with two 20-minute sessions at Circuit de Calafat, which is full of hairpins and ideal for exploiting the R3's strengths.
Claimed weight is 169kg with a full tank of fuel, and the R3 feels light enough to throw around like a toy but also consistently stable, whether nailing the brakes, driving through a corner or flat-out on straights. Top speed proved to be an indicated 176kph, or 109mph, where the R3 hit the rev limiter in top.
It's got a lower claimed power-to-weight ratio than the RC390 - which is more powerful at 44hp and lighter at 166kg with fuel – but the R3 is a smoother experience, less about mid-range and more about a linear build to the top end. It's easy to thrash, using all of the 42 horses most of the time with frequent changes through the slick gearbox.
Ground clearance was good, although Yamaha had removed the hero blobs from our test bikes.
The ABS, which comes as standard, activated a couple of times running into corners but otherwise I wasn't aware of it. When it did step in it was with relative subtlety.
A couple of times the Michelin Pilot Street rear tyre juddered sideways driving out of corners, but held on. It's not ideal rubber for this job, but coped. Stickier standard rubber would compromise Yamaha's ambition that the R3 be as good for city, long distance and 'every day' use as it is for getting a knee down.
It's an ambition which has been realised in the R3. Commute on it, thrash it, tackle longer distances on it. Race on it – Yamaha is planning a junior cup challenge.
Gain experience on it if you're an A2 licence holder. Cherish and enjoy it if you're not. It will do all these things.
Some parts don't look special. The steel swing-arm looks like it might be doing a half-hearted impression of cast aluminium, widening in the middle and tapering again toward rear wheel axle.
The dash consists of a big rev-counter dial on the left of a digital speedometer, with a gear indicator and fuel gauge. It also has something of a that'll-do look about it.
For a city bike, I'd like space for a disc lock under the seat, and I'm not sure there is one on the R3. There are two hooks on the underside of the seat itself, which a Yamaha man assured me functioned as helmet locks. With the D-ring of my helmet looped over one, I couldn't get the seat back on.
The pressed steel gear selector and brake pedal look like they could have been borrowed from a budget commuter.
But the R3 is competitively priced, at £4,799 plus on-the-road charges, so Yamaha can be forgiven for making savings somewhere. It's a couple of hundred quid less than the RC390, and £100 less than the Ninja 300.
It doesn't seem such a lot of money for a motorcycle that, while A2 compliant, could be the only bike many riders need.

LONDON, Aug 19 (Reuters) - European stocks were seen falling at the open on Wednesday, tracking similar declines on Asian and U.S. equity markets which lost ground on persistent concerns over China's economy.

Had my mind blown this weekend at the Vancouver Folk Festival by the Lost Bayou Ramblers. Cajun country/punk/rock (whatever that means) band from Louisiana. Andree Michot played rough with a little one-row button box going through effects and such. Noisy. All in Cajun French that sounds like it's channelling energy from the old singers in the 1930s-40s. Very fun, and reaching a new generation of Cajun kids who might have trickled away from the music. Guitarist Cavan Carruth said they didn't want Cajun music to become "like Epcot." They seem to be doing a good job of it.
We played this one on Accordion Noir last night.
I totally want their Vermillionair album:
I hope they did an animated video based on this cover. Clay-mation accordion has not been exploited enough.
Please "Donate to Co-op Radio" and tell them Accordion Noir sent you! Much appreciation.

These pads were easy to install and worked flawlessly right out of the box! Very happy and satisfied with the quality! Now my brakes stop like they should! No squeaks or anything. I'll have to see how they hold up long term but I feel very confident and safe with these new LTS brake pads from Hawk. I'd highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve their braking performance.
