The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, applying Kansas law, has held that an employment practices liability policy (EPL Policy) afforded no coverage for a class action based on an exclusion for alleged violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act or "similar" state law. Payless Shoesource, Inc. v. Travelers Cos., Inc., No. 08-3246 (10th Cir. Nov. 10, 2009).
A group of present and former employees of the company filed a class action against the company alleging that the company "unlawfully required hourly employees to work 'off the clock' without compensation and did various other things proscribed by the California Labor Code, the California Business & Professions Code, and state common law." The company tendered the lawsuit for coverage under its EPL Policy. The insurer denied coverage based on the policy's exclusion "for an actual or alleged violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act (except the Equal Pay Act), the National Labor Relations Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Employee Retirement [Income] Security Act of 1974, any workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, social security, or disability benefits law, other similar provisions of any federal, state, or local statutory or common law or any amendments, rules or regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing." Following settlement of the underlying action, the employer-insured filed suit against the insurer seeking coverage. In the coverage litigation, the insured contended that the phrase "other similar provisions of any federal, state, or local statutory or common law" in the exclusion must be read as applying only to the immediately preceding clause and not to the Fair Labor Standards Act (the FLSA). In the alternative, the insured argued that the placement of the modifier within the exclusion rendered the exclusion ambiguous.
The appellate court affirmed the trial court's entry of summary judgment in favor of the insurer. In so holding, the court noted that "a punctuation peccadillo notwithstanding, the meaning of the parties' contract is unambiguous" and by "operation of the plain terms of the agreement, [the company] has no claim for coverage."
First, the court rejected the insured's contention that the applicability of exclusion was narrowed by the perhaps grammatically incorrect placement of the modifier. According to the court, the insured's argument was implausible because the "other similar provisions" clause was separated from prior clauses by a comma and not a conjunction, which, unlike a comma, would have suggested a connection with the preceding clause. In addition, the court noted that the "other similar provisions" clause appeared at the end of the exclusion, which is "where modifiers meant to address all of the preceding items are often found." In addition to these textual points, the court made the more fundamental point that the insured's interpretation of the exclusion would lead to an absurd result, in that the insurer would have "disclaimed responsibility for liabilities arising under certain federal laws but then assumed responsibility for some (but not all) liabilities arising under parallel and even identical state laws."
The court also rejected the insured's argument that the placement of the modifier rendered the exclusion ambiguous. The insured argued that the misplaced modifier violated rules of proper grammatical construction, thus creating an ambiguity. According to the court, "in the more mundane task of contract interpretation, [courts] must be no less entitled to acknowledge the parties' plain meaning without being straight-jacketed by a grammatical rule into reaching a patently unintended result."
Finally, having concluded the exclusion barred coverage for claims alleging violations of laws "similar" to the FLSA, the court addressed whether the exclusion applied to bar coverage for the suit against the company. The court determined that all of the state law violations were "similar" to the FLSA and thus excluded from coverage under the terms of the policy. In so holding, the court also found that the word "similar" was not ambiguous in the context of the exclusion.

Simon's Guide to Gambling in Slovakia
Gambling and casinos in Slovakia are legal and licensed by the state, both online and land based. The current legal framework for controlling, overseeing and taxing the gambling industry is laid down in the piece of legislation, the Act No 171/2005 on Gambling Games*. The act also defines types of venues and operators that are eligible for a gambling licence under Slovakian law, as well as the conditions to which the licensing of such providers is tied. The regulatory body trusted with controlling, licensing and taxing of the gambling industry is the Ministry of Finance.
The main types of licenses that are issued by the Slovakian authorities are:
- a license for the operation of lottery games,
- a license for the operation of casino gambling games,
- a license for the operation of bet games,
- a license for the operation of gambling games by means of gambling machines,
- a license for the operation of gambling games by means of the Internet,
- a license for the operation of state lottery*.
Although the legislation lays down the legal framework for licensing operators, given they are registered in the country and their servers are located between its borders, no licenses appear to have been issued so far to any operator, except to the state backed company TIPOS. Private operators, are only eligible for an online sports betting licence.
The state of Slovakia is the sole shareholder of TIPOS and on top of nationwide lottery games and scratch card schemes, they also operate an online casino, an online poker room, an e-Bingo game, Keno.
The government attempted to enforce an ISP ban on foreign online gambling providers in 2011, but they didn't go through with the plan due to fierce criticism from, among others, EU legislators and local ISPs*.
Currently, there are no laws in place restricting players form accessing foreign online platforms in any way, although unlicensed foreign operators are technically illegal in the country.

Casino gambling in Slovakia
Online casino gambling in Slovakia: state monopoly
Land based casinos in Slovakia are legal and licensed. There are many of such venues around the country – I counted 12*, with the main ones located in Kosice and Bratislava.
An online casino in Slovakia is, theoretically also eligible for a licence, although only, if the company running it is registered in the country and the servers are also located locally. According to the Act No. 171/2005 on Gaming Games operating foreign gambling sites on the territory of Slovakia is prohibited. The only legal online casino in Slovakia is ran by TIPOS.
Foreign online casinos in Slovakia are technically illegal. However, the government does not block such sites and doesn't prosecute players either.
The following online casinos accept players from Slovakia:

Bingo in Slovakia
Online bingo in Slovakia: state monopoly
Land based bingo is legal and regulated in Slovakia, and bingo games are permitted inside licensed brick and mortar casinos. The 2005 legislation differentiates two types of Bingo games:
- regular bingo, and
- special Bingo – "it is a bingo, in which the stakes are taken and winnings are paid out in the collection points. The drawing of lots and the entire course of a special bingo is realised centrally in one place, whereas its course and results are generally released by mass media means"*.
The latter is run by TIPOS on a national level. TIPOS also offers the only legal online bingo platform in Slovakia, called e-Bingo.
Foreign online bingo sites are technically illegal, but for now, authorities don't block them and players are not prosecuted either.
The following bingo websites accept players from Slovakia:

Poker in Slovakia
Online poker in Slovakia: state monopoly
Poker is legal and regulated in Slovakia inside licensed casinos, and since January 2010, through an amendment to the Gambling Act, also outside such premises*. As a result of this provision, poker clubs started to spread around the country and the popularity of the game also began to rise considerably.
The only legal poker website in the country is the one offered by TIPOS. Foreign online poker operators are deemed illegal by the 2005 legislation. However, players are allowed to bet on these platforms without any legal repercussion.
The following online poker sites accept players from Slovakia:

Sports betting in Slovakia
Online sports betting in Slovakia: legal, licensed
Sports betting is legal and regulated in Slovakia. There are many licensed land based sports books, with the major ones being Niké, Fortuna SK and TIPOS.
Sports betting operators are also eligible for an online bookmaker licence in the country. Fortuna SK, Niké and TIPOS offer such platforms. Foreign online sports books are technically illegal, but players are not prosecuted and such sites are not blocked by the authorities in Slovakia.
The following online sportsbooks accept registrations from Slovakia:
Lottery in Slovakia
Online lottery in Slovakia: state monopoly
Lottery is a state monopoly and is conducted by the state backed TIPOS, the only shareholder of which is the Finance Ministry of Slovakia. The company offers several lottery games, such as Loto, Eurojackpot, EuroMillions and Two separate Keno games. All of TIPOS's games are offered on an online platform as well.
Foreign lottery operators are considered illegal. However, the government does not restrict access to such sites and players face no legal repercussions for taking part in foreign online lottery draws.
The following websites let people from Slovakia purchase lottery tickets online:

Bitcoin gambling in Slovakia
Bitcoin gambling in Slovakia: not regulated
The National Bank of Slovakia (NBS), stated that bitcoin does not have the legal attributes of a currency, and therefore does not fall under national control. European legislation, including the Slovak law, does not define the activities associated with virtual currency.
Given the above statement and the fact, that gambling online is not criminalised on an individual level in Slovakia, we can be fairly certain, that players of foreign Bitcoin casinos are not prosecuted by Slovakian authorities.
The following Bitcoin casinos accept players from Slovakia:

4 Links 4 You 4 Christmas
Christmas is slowly but surely knocking on the door – which means you gain a lot of weight on some places (fat) while you loose an astonishing amount of weight elsewhere (money).
If you cannot wait until the presents arrive or you are being tortured with yet another version of "My heart will go on" on the Christmas market (seriously, are they nuts?), I will therefore present you with something to ease your pain.
Since this is a blog, my presents to you are of course digital: four links to great stuff you can watch, read and listen to.
Link 1: The 20th Birthday Portfolio
If you ever wanted to see your much beloved movie actors incorporating again their most famous roles, here's your chance. The empire magazine managed to drag some very well known actors before their cameras and some of the results really look cool. My favorites are Simon Pegg/Nick Frost and Sean Bean/Viggo Mortensen. Especially the Bean/Mortsensen picture is great, because I felt they still are some of the best friends. Well done.
Link 2: The Morgan Freeman Chain of Command
I already knew that Morgan Freeman is one of the coolest actors out there. But the graphic on this German website proves not only this but even more: this guy essentially could found his own state – no, his own universe. Now, that is what I would call awesome/coolestest/whatever. The only problem in that universe could be the fact that he never played women in a movie. But who would want this.
Link 3: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Review
This 70 minute YouTube-Video (that makes its rounds on the net) about the train wreck called Phantom Menace is a must see for any movie geek out there. It proves – if nothing else – that letting George Lucas take full creative control of the prequels was one of the most epic mistakes ever. They just should have fired him.
Link 4: National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation – Intro
And since Christmas is knocking on the door it's time to get you in the mood for Christmas with the opening of one of the best Christmas comedies ever.
Merry Christmas to all of you and a happy new year!
By the way: I will make some big changes and a bigger announcement to and regarding this movie blog so stay tuned.
the best movie actors for me would be Val Kilmer and Morgan Freeman, they are really nice ~
you can say that morgan freeman is one of the most versatile actors that we have today "

Almost Transparent Blue
Based on the M9 Master Project: Theses & Project.
Exhibition Almost Transparent Blue – Hotel – Belgrade Seaboard explains the key elements of the methodology implemented in this research-by-design project, consisting of thesis followed by architectural design, and, based on results, conclusion. Theoretical field of research is built in a balance between architecture and philosophy (phenomenology), aesthetics and theory of form, technology and ecology. Spatial framework makes natural-real / imaginary landscapes Belgrade at the sea, an endless amount of blue, of air and water being its main characteristic and primary (non-) formal content that is projected over Belgrade as an architectural shot or sequence.
Boundaries of the program reach territories of tourism, recreation, wellness and life-style, while boundaries of the scenery outline the horizon of Belgrade facing Pannonian Sea on its north side. This means that among thematic and spatial context represented in the depth of transparency and blueness students could maintain an individual frame of design. Instability of contemporary architectural professional field engages a variety of design principles that are, in this project, raging from fully aesthetic autonomy of its formal appearance to erasure of authentic domains of its physical outlines. The aim of the case study itself is to set out the thematic structure of the project through the abstraction of different elements and their contextual relations. The potential of a video as a media, is chosen to represent a visual capacity of the topic set between its formulation and notion with intention to be translated in the possibilities for further projections. According to Nicolas Bourriaurd, object of architecture still possess the value of the shape able to communicate, in the scope of architectural design, topics within the wider cultural surrounding. It is the offer, equalling a spatial ability to become at the same time landscape of both settlement and mobility.

1. Get it in Writing.
The first thing you need to do is get any agreement calling for payment in writing. It will be much easier to prove your point. Relying on some type of verbal agreement based on a hand shake generally will not work.
2. Secure Your Payment.
See if there is a way for you to secure your rights. Whether it's a construction lien on real property, a UCC on materials, or even a guaranty from an individual, it's always helpful to have something else to fall back on if you're not paid.
3. Bill Regularly.
The worst thing that you can do is send bills sporadically. Your customers need to know you're serious about getting paid and they can set their watches on the bills that they receive from you.
4. Cap the Credit You Provide.
To the extent you can limit your exposure by limiting the credit you give, you should do that. It's much easier to suffer a loss of $5,000 than $50,000. You need to make credit decisions based on the credit risk of the customer, and adhere to that limitation as you continue to do business with that customer.
5. Contact Delinquent Accounts Often.
Do the obvious – contact the account holder. Do it verbally and in writing, nicely and firmly but do it, and do it often. Remember, the squeaky wheel generally gets the grease.
6. Resolve Disputes Quickly and in Writing.
Sometimes your customers will tell you that the goods arrived late or that they are unhappy with your service. Try to resolve these issues yourself. Better to give a small credit in exchange for a prompt payment, and move on.
7. Negotiate with Actual Decision Makers.
Whenever you're negotiating payment of a delinquent debt, make sure you're negotiating with someone that has the authority to make decisions. Avoid the frustration of negotiating with someone who has no real authority. Deal with someone who can actually move the ball forward.
8. Condition any Reduction on Prompt Payment.
After you decide that you're going to provide a reduction in what is owed, be sure to require an immediate payment. Make sure that that condition is expressly set out in a written agreement (can be an email or text). The last thing you want is to give a credit and then keep waiting on a promised payment.
9. Don't Delay in Initiating the Legal Process.
Once you determine that there's nothing more you can do yourself, don't wait to enforce your legal rights. Get to your lawyer ASAP. Every day that goes by makes it that much harder to collect the debt.
10. Avoid Emotional Decision Making.
Leave your emotions at the door when you deal with collection issues; it makes resolving a business dispute much easier.
Employ these 10 debt collection strategies and you will likely see your cash flow increase and your frustration level decrease.

Hockey mask collecting is a huge hobby amongst Friday the 13th fans. There are thousands of replicas in circulation representing many looks from the films throughout the film franchise. Although replicas made today are near screen quality, there is nothing like owning the real deal. Today we look at a screen used hockey mask from Jason Lives: Friday The 13th Part 6.
Today's particular mask, which is owned by Paul Wintner and displayed at www.yourprops.com , was worn by actor C.J. Graham after Jason was shot by Sheriff Garris. It's a very cool mask and one of many used during the production of the film. In fact, the mask posted here is one of 12 that was made for the production. This particular hock was rigged on the backside of the mask to explode when Sheriff Garris shoots Jason in the head with his revolver.
According to Mario Kirner from http://www.fridaythe13thprops.de/, the straps were originally removed at one point so the mask could be used for the F/X shot needed. Although the hockey mask was intended to be used for an F/X shot, it obviously was never utilized for its purpose as the damage from the bullet hole would have been much larger and more damaging to the mask. Check out the comparisons of the masks below.
This mask was originally kept by CJ Graham who played Jason Voorhees. Mario mentions that he knows of five masks in private collector's possession out of the 12 made for production.

Expanding on Konami's GBC sleeper classic RPG Survival Kids Lost in Blue strands you and a similarly-aged young girl on a deserted island with nothing but your wits and your instincts to save the two of you. Every day is a challenge to face when you're alone and have nothing to sustain you, but the island is full of everything you'll need to stay alive -- if you can find it and grab it. As the days pass on, you'll grow more comfortable in your home, with make-shift tools and weapons allowing you to create traps, hunt for meat, store supplies to get through harsh weather, and cook filling meals. Just making it through the day is hard enough, but you will eventually find the strength to be able to explore the island and search for some way to get home.
The survival role-playing aspect of the game completely dominates Lost in Blue. This makes the game unique, but it also can try the patience of even dedicated RPG outdoorsmen. Each day, you will hunt, fish and scrounge for food and needs, and no matter how well you build your home and prepare yourself with more permanent means of sustenance, there's still a good amount of daily homework you have to endure every time you turn your DS on. Those tasks weigh you down as you yearn to explore the island, and it'll take a day or two of dedicated preparation to be able to go out into the unknown. The island itself isn't very big by itself, but you have little time to allow yourself to just go and see it all.
It doesn't help that your female companion is hopeless without you. Skye is plenty resourceful when you're around -- she can cook up a hell of a meal with just some mushrooms, a few coconuts, maybe some taro root, and a little salt found on the beach, and she can also make baskets and weave ropes for you to use -- but if you leave her for too long, she's a goner. You can set her up with a jug full of water and a shelter stocked with supplies, but even though the game has the option to tell her you'll be gone for a few days, you'd better start getting back when the 24 hour game clock starts cycling the day or else you'll come home to a dead girl. The game's story explains some of why she's so useless on her own (a little 'oopsie' on your part has made her dependent on you), but the way it works out feels much less like survival teamwork and much more like babysitting.
Konami's development team has found creative ways to use the Nintendo DS in bringing this adventure to life, but it's not always a successful creation. The touchscreen allows you to dig in and forage for tubers and clams, digging in the dirt or sand by rubbing on the screen. You will also be fishing and hunting by touch, tapping the screen to snare your prey. Building a fire is a particularly strenuous exercise, as you tap the shoulder buttons to rhythmically spin the firestarter, then lean into your DS and blow (on the microphone) to give it air and start the flame. Physically interacting with the game is fun the first 20 times or so ... after that, it's just another part of the daily drudgery. Some of the more complex challenges were also surprisingly challenging for a game that is primarily an RPG. Building furniture, for instance, has you quickly whipping strokes on the touchscreen to fast-moving commands (much like a game of Dance Dance Revolution), and if you fail, the building materials are broken. It doesn't help that these challenges are played with only a tiny little box to draw shapes on, and the stylus accuracy isn't perfect to begin with (the difference between where we tapped the screen while fishing and where the character stabbed his spear was miles apart in some cases. Oh, the tales we could tell about the ones that got away...)
You play most of the game with the D-Pad, but you've got to have the stylus handy at all times for the touch play. We would have rather had the whole game just played with the touchpad and D-Pad -- especially since the context-sensitive commands aren't always accurate. If Skye is standing over near the woodpile and I want to talk with her, I've often got to grab her by the hand and pull her away, or else I'll just go staring at the woodpile. The start-and-stop play with the stylus gets annoying quickly, and the developers didn't really set the screen up right to mix the two play styles. You'll quickly give up searching the ground for crabs or shaking the trees for dropped goodies, for instance, because you will tap the screen to make something happen, but you can't go back to the main screen without pressing a button -- even if you just want to move five feet down the beach and check again.

This is an old revision of the document!
Is baseball a sports activity that you may have been following or actively playing for a long time? Or, is it a sport you already know absolutely nothing about? In order to enjoy the game fully, you have to understand a few things. The content under has a lot of excellent baseball details.
Figure out how to success a ball without having pursuing it simply by using a batting cage. A batting cage permits you to hit the tennis ball as challenging as you can with out being concerned about an errant soccer ball undergoing a home window. The batting cage has mesh edges therefore the ball is definitely restored.
If you're enjoying infield along with a groundball is hit, always go in the direction of it. Don't sit down there and wait for the ball to visit you. This will help you have a much greater chance of getting the mixture out as well as your staff will enjoy it. This too pertains to outfielders also.
When reaching, ensure you uudet nettikasinot set your unwanted weight on the back foot a lot more than the front side. Why? Your body operates like a coil when hitting. When you visit hit the ball together with your excess weight appropriately handled, your body will un-load just like a spring season. Which gives you with a ton far more potential.
When training baseball, there are several stuff you have got to have close accessible. Ensure you keep an excellent emergency first aid kit, properly stocked and at the all set. Take along a good amount of h2o and electrolyte drinks to help you players steer clear of lack of fluids. Have your practice program all set for each day time with in depth drills and shattered into achievable time segments. In a natural way, you must be certain of experiencing each of the correct products.
Be sure to remain aware about where by every single person is found on the discipline. Having a wise idea of the area of each and every person through the activity is ways to prevent most collisions. Collisions may cause awful injuries. The simplest way to prevent these kinds of accidents would be to warn other folks when you go for a golf ball.
Don't let a losing streak reach you. Dropping streaks happen in each and every sport, but in baseball good luck may play a very huge element on any day time. Losing streaks could be extented more than numerous video games. By no means let it allow you to get straight down. Technique every single online game with an oxygen of self confidence and very quickly you'll surpass that decline.
To boost left arm strength and acquire a steadier swing, buy some bat weights and employ together routinely. By hitting the gym by using a bulkier bat than you are going to use when on the dish, you are going to in a position to increase reliability, refine your batting capabilities and become a key cause of your team's prospects.
Ensure to check out the grass and roughness of your industry. Even facial lines in the lawn can adjust how the ball rolls or bounces. Often, a field is patchy and will make ground balls difficult.
Finding out how to modify directions is very important for outfielders. In case you are actively playing the remaining aspect from the outfield and need to perform towards centerfield, go across your appropriate ft . all over your still left ft . and potential from the step. This procedure can help you get the utmost broken of velocity right from the start of the operate.
Ensure you are able to operate soon after your bat tends to make experience of the baseball. To begin with, release the bat instead of tossing it. That is certainly risky as it is generally created from timber or aluminum. That wasted movement also slows down you down whenever you go to initially basic.
When taking part in the outfield, training both calling to get a fly ball and backing off when a fly soccer ball is named for by someone else. Miscommunication from the outfield has resulted in more lowered balls than you are able to ever envision, even just in the advantages it takes place. So get your outfield staff with each other and shag flies with the purpose of obtaining your interaction lower.
To put downward a successful bunt, retain the brain of the bat higher than the manage. When the mind dips lower, you will probably burst your bunt up. Retaining the pinnacle up allows you to bunt the most notable one half of the ball, forcing it lower towards the floor.
Figure out how to throw several types of pitches. With each sort of pitch, the tennis ball is presented slightly diverse. As an example, having a knuckle golf ball the center finger is expanded down among the seams of the golf ball. The directory finger is bent and put on other seam. As soon as the golf ball is thrown in this way, the tennis ball shape because it grows to the dish.
When selecting your son or daughter a baseball bat, it is crucial that you purchase one who is not really overweight for little one. If your kid currently features a bat, does he are likely to hit a lot of put take flight balls. In that case, this may be caused by your youngster employing a bat that is too heavy.
Discovering distinct pitches is important not only to helping you succeed the game but getting you a greater distance like a baseball pitcher. Tossing a indicate fastball and an offspeed pitch could easily get you through your early days, but you should learn a pair other unique pitches to possess a chance at the collegiate stage or as a specialist. In addition, it's fun learning to throw a contour soccer ball!
To chuck a a number of-seam fastball, maintain a baseball which means that your 2nd and thirdly finger go across both of the seams 2 times each. The yanking activity as you may toss the pitch provides you with an additional boost of speed. Also, deliver your entrance ft . up added great to make your whole body in a slingshot sending the pitch house easily.
Bat rate is every little thing when you find yourself attempting to turn into a greater hitter. Therefore, it's crucial that you construct your torso strength proper? Properly, sure, however your energy swing also arises from your thighs. Quite simply, those complete routines and batting training are what will help you enhance your bat speed for those residence goes.
The earlier post has shown there is quite a tad to discover baseball. If you are a newbie to baseball or even a expert pro, there is certainly usually something totally new to learn. By using these pointers, it is possible to turn out to be a professional in baseball swiftly.

Last week, the literary journal Tin House put an intriguing wrinkle in its submissions policy for the coming fall. Along with their submissions, writers will have to include a receipt proving they've recently purchased a book from a bookstore. The change affects submissions to the magazine and to Tin House's books division. In a press release the editors added: "Writers who cannot afford to buy a book or cannot get to an actual bookstore are encouraged to explain why in haiku or one sentence (100 words or fewer)."
Here at Utne, we wanted to find out a little more about the thinking behind this new (and awesome) policy. Tin House managing editor Cheston Knapp was kind enough to play along and supply some answers.Though Knapp noted that there is some "apprehension" that writers will be angry about the shift, he says, "We're just asking people to be accountable for the fact that they're participating in an ailing industry when they submit to literary journals or book publishers." The goal, then, might be to reinforce—concretely—the reading spirit of the creative writing community. After all, to support literary writing, there's no way other than by reading books, journals, and magazines. "People are trying to figure out what the [publishing] landscape's going to look like but we want to do our part to ensure physical books remain a part of it," says Knapp.
As for how long this policy might last, the current plan applies only for this fall's reading period. Knapp adds that "there are many other literary magazines that charge you to submit to them and that seems to work… folks don't raise a stink about that. We'll see how people react to this." It's an uncertain time literature in print, and as Knapp suggests, the future is up for grabs: "What we hope is that writers can continue to write and booksellers continue to sell their books long into the future, as the building morphs around us like something out of Proteus's wet dream." And you thought there wouldn't be any literary references in this post.
(Thanks, GalleyCat.)

Title: Detecting Lava Tubes with a Smartphone?
Author(s): Lillington, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 3, Spring 2013, page(s) 119-31
Abstract: This paper describes the methodology and subsequent field tests undertaken in July 2013 to try and detect the presence of a lava tube using the magnetometer inside an Android smart phone. Trials were undertaken at three different lava tubes in Iceland, which all produced similar and repeatable results. A comparison is then made to other research that was undertaken using professional surveying equipment, together with a direct comparison to precision 3-axes USB powered digital magnetometer. The results demonstrate a reasonably close correlation, which suggests that it may be possible (in some circumstances) to roughly detect lava tubes using a smart phone in lieu of expensive surveying equipment.
Title: Morphology and Evolution of the Lava Del Passo Dei Dammusi 1614-24 Lava Flow, Mount Etna, Sicily
Author(s): Wood, C.
Journal Series 13, Number 3, Spring 2013, page(s) 132-144
Abstract: During August 1976, a large team, made up of students from St Albans College of Further Education, members of the Shepton Mallet Caving Club and members of Club Alpino Italiano (Sez. Etna. Gruppo Grotte Catania), undertook detailed mapping of the lava tube caves and the surface morphology of a part of the 1614-24 lava flow, Mount Etna North. It was hoped that such a survey would contribute to an understanding of the role played by lava tubes in the evolution of this most unusual lava flow. The area selected for investigation comprised some 3 km2 lying astride the forest track that runs between Casermetta and Villagio Turistico Mareneve, in the eastern part of the flow known as the Lava del Passo dei Dammusi.
Series 13 Number 4
Title: Ban Mani Phruk Expeditions 2012-2014
Author(s): Ellis, M.
Journal Series 13, Number 4, Autumn 2013, page(s) 146-185
Abstract: Since the last report on the club's expeditions to Ban Mani Phruk in Nan province, Thailand was published (SMCC Journal Series 12 No. 7) there have been two further expeditions in February 2012 and February 2014, and in March 2013 a small team visited for three days. Tham Pha Phueng has been confirmed as Thailand's deepest cave with a vertical range of 476m and is now the tenth longest in the country (4,750m). Three other caves with a vertical range of more than 100m have been explored and one cave has been surveyed to a length of 1.9km.
Title: The ooLiTE: Thermo-Electric Lighting for Cavers
Author(s): Lillington, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 4, Autumn 2013, page(s) 186-203
Abstract: This article summarises the findings from a prototype DIY cave lighting device "the ooLiTE" which uses the heat energy from a tea-light to directly illuminate a LED using the Seebeck effect in a Thermo-Electric Generator (TEG). TEGs based on existing technology are generally inefficient at converting heat to electricity, and so this design transmits the waste heat energy into a liquid based heat sink, to ultimately provide the caver with a warming drink. The ooLiTE is an inexpensive, compact, lightweight portable design solution. It can be built for less than £40 as a DIY project using no more than simple hand-tools and readily available components. The design uses the latest Cree LED technology to generate up to 150 lumen of light output for an extended period, depending on the heat source and size of heat sink. The ooLiTE could perhaps provide a useful alternative lighting and heating source for an underground camp on an expedition.
Series 13 Number 5
Title: SMCC 60th Anniversary Trip to Romania
Author(s): Campbell, J, Davey, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 5, Spring 2014, page(s) 205-32
Abstract: This is a report of the SMCC Summer 2009 trip to the Apuseni Mountains in the north west of Romania, to mark the club's 60 th anniversary. This report includes practical advice on getting there, geographical situation, maps, guidebooks, further reading and some other non-caving activities. This report gives details of 12 of the most popular caving trips in the area and information on 4 show caves.
Title: Lava Tube Detection Using Wi-Go, Iceland
Author(s): Lillington, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 5, Spring 2014, page(s) 233-39
Abstract: This paper describes a number of pilot surveys undertaken in Iceland during June 2014 to try and detect the presence of lava tube from the surface, using a fairly sensitive 3-axes battery powered digital magnetometer streaming live data to an Android® smart phone via Wi-Fi. This article follows on from phone magnetometer trials which were undertaken in July 2013, as described in an earlier Shepton Mallet journal article. The survey results were a little ambiguous, with only weak anomalies detected, which may relate to the known lava tube. It is considered a range of unforeseen factors may have obscured the results including a significantly thicker rock overburden, potential overlying surface level lava tubes and even layering of the basalt. Further work to expand the pilot survey work is required to look at the effects of overburden thickness on magnetic anomalies.
Series 13 Number 6
Title: 2015 & 2016 Expeditions to Doi Phuka National Park, Nan, Thailand
Author(s): Ellis, M.
Journal Series 13, Number 6, page(s) 241-77
Abstract: Following the 2014 Shepton Mallet Caving Club expedition to the Doi Phuka National park in Nan there were two smaller expeditions to the area in January and February 2015. These trips concentrated on the region between the end of the "Southern Track" and the village of Ban Nam Pua Patthana and many caves were located, including the main resurgence of the Nam Pua river. In February 2016 the fifth Shepton Mallet Caving Club Expedition to Ban Mani Phruk saw 15 cavers in the field for 10 days.
Title: Basic Surveying with a Smartphone?
Author(s): Lillington, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 6, page(s) 278-80
Abstract: This article describes trial experimentation using a waterproof smartphone in conjunction with a waterproof laser distance measuring device to try and measure survey leg bearings, inclinations, and distances. A number of survey loops were undertaken on the surface, which were then compared to a control set of results using a Suunto Compass/Clino.
Title: Digging at Cutlers Green, Chewton Mendip
Author(s): Begley, J.
Journal Series 13, Number 6, page(s) 281-91
Abstract: This article describes progress at a dig site at Cutlers Green, Chewton Mendip. The dig site is located in an area of the Mendip Hills that hasn't seen a lot of interest from cavers, but appears to have potential for some significant cave development. A summary of the digging activity is given, along with a geological overview of the site and a summary of the biological finds at the site. A survey of the progress to date is also provided.
Title: Jurassic Limestone Caves in Normandy
Author(s): Lillington, A.
Journal Series 13, Number 6, page(s) 292-97
Abstract: This article provides a brief overview of Les pertes karstiques de l'Aure, a 5km long active river cave formed in Jurassic (Quaternary Oolitic) limestone. The cave is located close to the town of Port-en-Bessin-Huppain, Normandy, France. The resurgences and sinks were unexpectedly encountered during an unrelated camping trip to the area in June 2016. This article intends to compile some background information about the cave system, the sinks and resurgences, for general club interest and for any potential future trip.

"What is this place?" S. asks Osfour.
"This is where you meet the people you're here to meet," Osfour replies.
"Why is it all here in the first place? Is this a library? A museum?"
"A safe place for beautiful things. That's all."
In the Chapter A Sleeping Dog, S. finds himself hurried into a large room where many men and women are rushing significant objects (books, scrolls, paintings, etc.) underground into a safe place from the imminent attack on El H—. This is where S. obtains his valise – the significant object that will remain with him throughout the remainder of the book.
Ostensibly, the coming invasion is on the entire city of El H—, and the people in this room are merely trying to protect one part of that city. However, we have two clues that this room is much more significant…
- Osfour tells S. on p226 that he is taking him to the resistance. On p241, as S. watches the people shuttle treasures underground, he thinks This is the resistance? It seems tragically insufficient. Osfour explains It's not that kind of resistance.
- On p314, Agent #26 is mentally reviewing his long list of accomplishments in the name of Vévoda. He recalls that he is the Agent who located the storehouse in El H—. This accomplishment alone seems enough to Agent#26 to earn him an invitation to the Château.
If this single room houses the entire resistance and El H—'s most precious objects, and if Agent#26 expects special recognition from Vévoda for locating it, then it seems to imply that the entire reason for the attack is to destroy the storehouse, its objects, and everyone in it.
Why would Vévoda care so much about this single location? Why is it so central to Ship of Theseus? Vévoda appears to have both stolen items from it (p430) after Agent#26 discovered its location and then destroyed it ("the repository is no more" p260).
Here is one thought. This storehouse is "a safe place for beautiful things" according to Osfour. Another word for such a place is a thesaurus. Before Roget borrowed that word to indicate a book that connects words to its synonyms and antonyms, thesaurus meant storehouse of treasure.
J.J. Abrams refers to "S." as a love letter to the written word. Is it possible that we, the readers, are meant to see the storehouse at El H— as a thesaurus in both meanings of the word?
A thesaurus is a book of connections. It connects words to a spectrum of synonyms and antonyms (point and counterpoint). This takes us back to the idea of the Glass Bead Game (hinted at in Fn5 p52) and its challenge for us to create meaningful connections between otherwise disparate subjects. "S." appears to be a book of connections as well. We as readers are meant to explore those connections.
A few attempts at using the storehouse as a thesaurus to make connections. The first example is a verified connection from the marginalia…
- The painting of The Sleeping Dog shows a writer at work at his desk and a dog not asleep, but ready to attack an apparent intruder that may interrupt the artist.Jen Heyward connects the chapter title to use as the key to solve the Chapter 6 Nihilist cipher, using SLEEPING and DOG to get MAC WAS JUDAS NOT TIAGO (p236).
- When S. asks Ostrero what this place is, Ostrero responds This is where you meet the people you are here to meet. The most prominent person S. meets is Khatef Zelh. She is preparing a painting for storage when S. notices that the girl in the painting looks just like Sola. When S. asks who is in the painting, Khatef Zelh replies Samar.Samar is the first island spotted in what we now call the Phillipines by Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan on the first successful expedition to circumnavigate the globe. Is this a nod to we explorers of "S." that Samar in the painting is the first of many more discoveries?
- As S. notices Sola in the painting, he notices that he is standing in the precise location that the artist must of stood in order to paint Sola beneath the columns and arches on this balcony.Are we to infer that S. is somehow the artist that paints Samar (Sola) – and her story?
- Standing in this location, where the artist once stood and painted Samar, S. receives the all-important valise. A study of the etymology of valise leads to an extinct city in Italy called Valesio, where the center point of the community was the hot baths, or the caldeira.Is this a connection to FXC? Filomela Xaldera Caldeira later returns S's valise to him in the Winter City. It is the only object in the room besides S. and Sola as they connect together in the same room where S. learns he is somehow connected to Sobreiro, who once lived in and died from defenestration.
What connections do you see?

Pak-China road via PoK part of string of pearls strategy?
Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, during his visit to China, inked a slew of agreements aimed at boosting his country's sagging economy, including two major ones - a 2,000 km transport link to connect Kashgar in northwestern China to the Pakistani port of Gwadar and an 820 km-fibre optic link from the Chinese border in Xinjiang to Rawalpindi -- both of which could have strategic implications for India.
Sharif, whose maiden trip abroad after his swearing-in coincided with that of Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony to Beijing, has described Pakistan-China ties in effusive terms - as "higher than the Himalayas, deeper than the deepest sea in the world and sweeter than honey".
The $18 billion China-Pakistan economic corridor, which Sharif has described as a "game changer for Pakistan", would also involve a 200 km-long tunnel through Pakistan-administered Kashmir. Both countries are to set up a task force to ensure the project is completed on a fast-track basis in the next five years, Sharif has said.
A state-run Chinese company was in February given control of the strategic Gwadar port, providing it access to the Arabian Sea and also the Strait of Hormuz through which a third of the world's oil is transported.
The road and rail network from Kashgar to Gwadar port will route Chinese goods destined for the Middle East and other global destinations from Urumqi through Gwadar. It is also touted as a short cut for Chinese imports of Middle Eastern oil.
Chinese firm Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd is to build the fibre-optic link to Rawalpindi over the next three years. Of the $44 million cost, 85 percent is to come from Beijing and the rest from Islamabad. It will take three years to complete.
The fact that the transport corridor passes through Pakistani Kashmir has its own inference - that "Beijing has road-rolled India's claim to PoK (Pakistan-occupied Kashmir), a de facto acceptance of the Pakistan position on the region", strategic analyst Commodore (Retd) C. Uday Bhaskar told IANS.
"And furthermore - when operational, this will make China an Indian Ocean power, which has huge maritime implications...China effectively trumps geography," Bhaskar, distinguished fellow at the Society for Policy Studies (SPS), said.
On the fibre optic link, he said the move was "again, potentially very significant for China's overall cyber capability. It can now place India in a cyber-pincer".
"And all this when Antony is in Beijing... Is it part of China's strategic chutzpah?" Bhaskar wondered.
According to an article in The Express Tribune of Pakistan, the transport corridor is "part of China's 'Strings of Pearl' strategic initiative, under which the economic giant wants to secure maritime centres in Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Maldives and Somalia. The plan highlights China's growing influence on the region's ports and airfields".
Indian Defence Minister A.K. Antony's visit was marred by provocative comments by a top Chinese military commander who cautioned India not to "provoke new problems and increase military deployments at the border area and stir up new trouble". India had taken up the comments by Major General Luo, the deputy-director general of the World Military Research department at a PLA academy, with Beijing and was told it was "not reflective" of the official view. - IANS

Everyone knew there would be some gun owners flouting the law that legislators hurriedly passed last April, requiring residents to register all military-style rifles with state police by Dec. 31. But few thought the figures would be this bad.
No one has anything close to definitive figures, but the most conservative estimates place the number of unregistered assault weapons well above 50,000, and perhaps as high as 350,000.
And that means as of Jan. 1, Connecticut has very likely created tens of thousands of newly minted criminals — perhaps 100,000 people, almost certainly at least 20,000 — who have broken no other laws. By owning unregistered guns defined as assault weapons, all of them are committing Class D felonies.
"A lot of it is just a question to ask, and I think the firearms unit would be looking at it," said Mike Lawlor, the state's top official in criminal justice. "They could send them a letter."
An aggressive hunt isn't going to happen, Lawlor said,...
It could be a tough sell. On Thursday night, Guglielmo heard from a constituent at a meeting in Ashford, who said most of his friends with military-style rifles such as AR-15s had not come forward.
"He made the analogy to prohibition," Guglielmo said. "I said, 'You're talking about civil disobedience, and he said 'Yes.' "
"I honestly thought from my own standpoint that the vast majority would register," said Sen. Tony Guglielmo, R-Stafford, the ranking GOP senator on the legislature's public safety committee. "If you pass laws that people have no respect for and they don't follow them, then you have a real problem."
That People have no respect for..?!
How about the goddamn President..? He doesn't respect the Law, so why should we..?
Lead by Example, or get the Hell out of the way.
And so it begins..
Firstly, take a second to think about what you're saying before you go off on an emotionally induced rant. What begins? The People finally deciding to disobey a Bravo Sierra law.
And so it begins..
And so what begins? Some type of full scale revolution or something? Mass uprisings the size of which can be measured by non-fractional population percent numbers? A complete government overthrow by the proles? What?
High or low risk isn't relevant. it's the principle
While its great that people are disregarding the law, there isnt really that much risk associated with disregarding it. No one knows they have the guns, right? So as long as they dont attract attention to themselves and/or guns, they are safe.
Thats your opinion and you're entitled to have one.
Its mild, low risk passive resistance at best, and just laziness at worst.
Again, It's about standing up to a Bravo Sierra law
No real personal conveniences lost, no real lifestyle changes, no real threat to ones safety, no real disruption whatsoever to everyday life for those who, rightfully IMO, said "stuff it".
Some may buckle but some will take the fight home. I think you underestimate the people.
But nothing has kicked off, and when push (which this isnt really even close to) comes to shove, the proles will buckle quickly when resisting would mean actual personal sacrifices of livelyhood, finances, ones life, or god forbid, personal modern conveniences.
Passive resistance is still resistance and far better if it gets the point across without it escalating further
Its good news to hear, but lets just keep it all in perspective. This is passive, negligible risk law flouting, NOT an active, high risk resistance movement, with members whove put it all on the line, that is directly confronting the gross assaults on liberty by an out of control rogue government regime.

With so many new companies in the market, it is hard to find the best home remodeling company. Here are some tips that can help you.
Get recommendations
Try to get recommendations from your friends and family. You can check out the National Association of the Remodeling Industry for a list of remodeling companies in your area. You can talk with a number of building inspectors as well for some good recommendations.
Conduct phone interviews
After you have come up with a list of potential contractors, call your prospects and ask them some important questions. You can ask about what kinds of services they provide, how long they have been in the business, names and addresses of some of their previous clients, etc.
Meet in person
Meet your prospective contractors for estimates and further discussions. By meeting face to face, you will be able to know about their personalities and behavior. These contractors are going to spend many hours in your home. So, make sure they are friendly and can adjust to your family environment.
Check facts
You should check the contractors' license and insurances. Make sure that the company conducts ethical business practice. You can check the background of the workers as well.
Get bids
Ask for bids. Ask the contractors to break down the costs of materials and provide you with a detailed estimate. Hire the contractor that you can afford. If for example, if you're in New York, and need HVAC help, call the HVAC New York NY experts!
Follow these steps and you will be able to hire a good home modeling company for your home improvement project. If you carefully select your home remodeling company then there is less chance that things will go wrong.

I'ts not only in the field that interesting discoveries are made - sometimes they fall off the bookshelf.
While looking for a report a scrapbook fell to the floor. Within the book were a collection of black and white prints of an archaeological excavation carried out in 1968. The excavation was on the corner of Victoria Street and East Street in Hereford and is now covered by the road and footpath, grass bank and public carpark.
The excavation examined the development of the medieval defences by cutting through the rampart behind the line of the wall. The area was not always defended, below the rampart were the remains of two grain or malt drying ovens with firing chambers, stoke pits and lateral stone-lined flues. The ovens would have been used to dry grain before it was put into storage. The process would have prevented the grains from going mouldy.
More information on the excavation can be found in Hereford City Excavations, Vol II. The volume was published in 1982 by the Council for British Archaeology and can be downloaded from the Archaeological Data Service.
The photgraphs were shot by PA Rahtz.
A Health and Safety nightmare!
Victoria Street is just visible in the background.

What follows are ten good reasons to consider learning some traditional folk music, reasons I learned over ten years as a performing singer-songwriter and as a recording artist, both for albums and for YouTube (www.youtube.com/bardofcornwall). My experience is mostly in folk music from the United Kingdom and North America, but these points also apply to many other traditions.
Reason 1. Huge Variety:
Those who would dismiss folk music as irrelevant to modern listeners generally haven't experienced even a fraction of the traditional songs that we know of. There are so many to choose from, and so many moods created by them, that there would be some song to suit any musical taste. When it comes to traditional folk music, modern musicians are really spoiled for choice: you could listen for a lifetime and still discover new gems, from comic songs to love ballads to laments for the dead.

Man admits to freeway road rage
Update: A 54-year-old man has admitted to a road rage attack that left a Perth doctor unconscious and bloodied on the side of the Kwinana Freeway.
The guilty plea came mid-way through his trial today in the District Court.
Robert Wilson Shepherd had been fighting a charge of aggravated grievous bodily harm that came after he repeatedly punched and kicked general practitioner Ali Hussain after a traffic incident on the evening of November 11, 2011.
Today after hearing evidence from two witnesses who described seeing Dr Hussain being punched and kicked while on the ground, his attacker at one point seeming to leave but then returning to land more punches and a kick, Shepherd changed his plea to guilty.
Shepherd's lawyer Terry Dobson had argued for the accused that he acted in self defence.
Prosecutor Joel Grinceri today told the jury at the start of the trial today that the case was about "the brutal unrestrained incident of road rage" which he suggested could change the personalities even placid-seeming people.
Mr Grinceri said Dr Ali Hussain had been driving home from work about 7.30pm and was a little under the 100kmh speed limit in the right lane when a car flashed at him to move over.
The prosecutor said Dr Hussain changed lanes and that as the car behind him passed, a third car driven by Shepherd allegedly tried to squeeze between them and clipped the doctors vehicle.
Dr Hussain today testified that he had honked his horn, put his hazard lights on and signalled to Shepherd to stop so they could exchange details, and that the accused man had kept driving for some way before pulling over.
The doctor told the jury he had gotten out of his car after seeing Shepherd was "nicely dressed" and seemed respectable, and had asked for his details.
He claimed he only remembered Shepherd swearing and raising a hand before he lost consciousness and later woke assisted by two police officers.
Mr Dobson today had agreed there had been an incident of "road rage" but said the defence disputed the doctor's version of events.
"There was some road rage but it started with Mr Hussain and he pursued Shepherd and he finally forced Shepherd off the road and that's when things turned ugly," the lawyer suggested.
Mr Dobson put to Dr Hussain that he had been annoyed and angry at the time Shepherd had taken to pull over and that he had gotten out of his car first and walked fast towards the accused man's door.
Dr Hussain, who the court heard had suffered a broken nose and cheekbone and broken teeth, rejected the suggestions.
Mr Grinceri told the jury the alleged attack had been unprovoked.
"The reality is that this case is about the brutal unrestrained incident of road rage," Mr Grinceri.
The prosecutor suggested to the jury that while it was common for people to become annoyed by other drivers, for 99.9 per cent of drivers it ended with a honk of the horn or a few words.
However, he suggested everyone knew gentle, placid people who "when they get behind the wheel of a car they can change their personality and lose their temper at the drop of a hat".
Judge Simon Stone warned Shepherd today that he faced a jail term for the "vicious" road rage attack – a type of crime that the judge suggested was becoming more prevalent in the community and needed a deterrent.
Shepherd will be sentenced on March 13, he was refused bail.

PHOENIX (AP) — Investigators said Tuesday they believe the same man who fatally shot a New Hampshire couple near a scenic northern Arizona resort town also killed a sheriff's deputy several days later in Phoenix.
PHOENIX (AP) — Investigators said Tuesday they believe the same man who fatally shot a New Hampshire couple near a scenic northern Arizona resort town also killed a sheriff's deputy several days later in Phoenix.
Ballistics experts confirmed that the rifle casings found at the scene near Sedona on Friday and in the parking lot of a Phoenix medical building on Sunday came from the assault rifle used by Drew Ryan Maras, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said.
Arpaio described Maras as a U.S. Marine Corps reservist who briefly attended Arizona State University, recently lost his maintenance job in nearby Peoria and was living out of his van.
The 30-year-old may have been depressed, had lost contact with his family, believed the world was going to end this year and showed an interest in UFOs, the sheriff said.
The deaths of the New Hampshire couple had baffled authorities over the weekend. The bodies of James Johnson of Jaffrey, N.H., and Carol Raynsford of Nelson, N.H., were found in a sedan at a remote highway turnout. Investigators said they found six shell casings on one side of the car, and two on the other side.
Johnson and Raynsford frequently hiked and camped together and were in the area to look for a house for Johnson, said Raynsford's friend, Jayne Kelly. They had planned to head home at the end of the month
Investigators still don't know why they were targeted. Officials have said there was no evidence that the two were robbed or that they had provoked the shooter.
"I don't think we will ever know the motive," said Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher, whose office investigated the killings near Sedona.
Maras fatally shot sheriff's Deputy William Coleman on Sunday after the officer responded to a burglary call at the medical building, Arpaio said.
Coleman knocked on Maras' van to rouse him. He responded by opening the vehicle's sliding door and shooting his gun, authorities said. Maras fired 29 shots, while other deputies got off 41 rounds and killed Maras.
By Monday, investigators had begun to draw a connection between the two shootings, which took place 85 miles away from each other.
Maras used a variant of an AR-15 assault rifle and shot unique military grade ammunition that has a steel core, giving the slug more penetrating power, investigators said.
He served with the Marine from 1999 to 2003, completing infantry training with a specialty as a rifleman before joining a reserve unit in Chicago, Marine Maj. Shawn Haney said.
Authorities said he had no serious criminal violations. A search of Arizona court records showed just a 2004 citation for driving with a suspended license. But that case was dismissed.
Coleman, 50, was a 20-year veteran. He is survived by a wife and two young children, ages 4 and 7. He also has grown children in another state. He was assigned as a patrol deputy and had previously worked the sheriff's lake patrol unit.
Associated Press writers Felicia Fonseca in Flagstaff, Ariz., and Kathy McCormack in Concord, N.H., contributed to this report.

6. NCIS – Mel OdomMel Odom is a highly awarded and famed author and his work lives up to the hype. He is actually a forensic investigation lecturer teaching on crime-scene investigation, profiling and cold-case investigation so you know he knows his stuff. He is a master at writing thrilling, suspenseful and action packed novels and the NCIS series is not an exception. An NCIS agent is found dead, a US marine who has ties to South Korean black markets is assassinated and Columbia cocaine is discovered in Moscow, Russia. Follow the National Criminal Investigative Service led by Will Coburn as they try to solve these cases that lead to a chilling discovery; the stage has been set for world destruction. With just a bit of super personal details and more thrill and action than feelings, this series is perfect for those times that you just want to get your heart pumping. There are 3 books – Paid in Blood, Blood Lines and Blood Evidence – each with its own unique but equally enthrallin story line. It's engaging, it's shocking, it's real and it's the perfect length. Buy it for your dad and your uncle and your boyfriend who claims he can't read books. I mean it, you won't regret it.
7. Political thriller – Joel C RosemburgNow this review would be a review just on its own if I didn't feel like revealing too much would spoil it but my, my my! this guys can have you at the edge of your bed. I mean talk about action sequence, suspense and the thrill of the chase, mix in politics and the end time and you've got yourself a best-seller. You've probably heard of 'The Last Jihad' or ' The Ezekiel Option' but did you know they are part of a 5 book series? Including ' The Copper Scroll' ,' The last Days' and 'Dead Heat' and you will want to buy them all…fast and first because you don't want to start on 'The Last Jihad' then wait 3 months to go into 'the Last days', it will kill you. The suspense, the drama, the faith and the end of days. I can't even tell you anything but that your very core will be shaken to it's core. (Is that a thing? ) Follow Jon Bennett and Erin McCoy as they go on the most testing, trying and thrilling adventure of their lives and hope they make it.
8. O'Malley Series – Dee HendersonThis series is great for a couple of reasons: it gives you career ideas, it reminds you what family is about and it shows you the power of God's love in action. Follow the O'Malleys, 7 siblings by choice,not blood, as they tackle their crazy careers, delve into their hurtful pasts and discover faith,grace and the depth of God's love. I mean a hostage negotiator, a US Marshall, a Firefighter, a forensic pathologist and a pediatrician to name but a few. One of the brothers even has 3 career through the series. There's even a prequel because everyone wanted to know where the story started. So 6 books(co one of the siblings doesn't get a book for reasons revealed in the books) and a prequel, need I say more? You will be occupied for at least 2 weeks. This series is great if you ever want to mix family with your action packed thriller and for one of them definitely get your tissue because you will bowl like a baby.
9. Chapter 16 series – Jake ThoeneYou want guns, bombs, national security and terrorists? this series is for you. You get detail, like the detail that you miss when you watch whatever FBI show you are watching. After a vicious attack in San Francisco, the FBI forms a new domestic counter-terrorism unit, Chapter 16 and thus begin their adventures. Follow Special Agent Steve Alstead as he races to save his life, his family and his country and you will definitely want to hold onto something with deep roots. 'Shaiton's Fire', 'Firefly Blue' and 'Fuel the Fire' are fast-paced and on fire, full of suspense and intrigue so grab yourself a copy and bunker down.
10. Cape refuge Series – Terri BlackstockThis series has 4 books; Cape Refuge, Southern Storm, River's edge and Breaker's edge. Whereas Nick Barrett (check first list) starts with the lies and secrets of old money high society, this one is about the lives of people in a small seaside town as two sisters struggle to continue the work their parents began in helping the troubled people who came to their house. Although I have only read the last two books of the series, I know that Terri Blackstock has mastered the art of suspense and therefore I am good with my recommendation. So follow Mathew Cade as he tries to solve the town's dark mysteries before they drown them all. Book three begins with the search of the wife of Ben Jackson, a mayoral race candidate, at the campaign's high season. And as deeper and darker secrets come out just as her body is discovered, will the town survive?
Hope you guys have gotten some fantastic good reads to last you the next 3 months 🙂 If you have read the books before, comment below what you thought of them. Like the post if it totally helped you narrow your book search or brought back memories and share it with a friend to brighten the day and give them something to look forward to.
