TracRac Tie Downs
Reviewed by Michael A (SUNSET, SC) — Jun 21, 2016 7:14 AM
Works very well and looks great. My only complaint is that they don't match the two tie downs that came with the original product as the tie down rings are a slightly different shape
Reviewed by Joel B (COLORADO SPRINGS, CO) Reviewed for a 2008 BMW 5-Series — Feb 06, 2015 6:11 AM
I needed to another set of ladder tied downs, when they showed up they fit perfectly.
Great OEM addition to my TracRac System
Reviewed by Eric H (Port Ewen, NY) Reviewed for a 2012 Chevy Silverado — Feb 05, 2015 2:40 AM
I needed additional Tie Downs for my TracRac system and these OEM parts were a perfect match. AutoAnything offered the best price, free shipping and fast delivery.
Rail Tie Downs
Reviewed by Alicia G (Weare, NH) Reviewed for a 2009 Dodge Ram — Sep 05, 2013 3:20 PM
I bought these to make it easier to tie down ladders and wood on my racks. This has made it so easy. What use to take me 15 minutes of climbing up on the side rail and looping the tie downs around the rack, now takes me 1 minute from the ground. I just throw the tie down over the ladder in the middle, hook it to the trac tie down and done. If hauling for long distance I will still tie down around rack for safety, but most of the time I can just lock it down with one strap. Great product!!
Nice Tie Downs
Reviewed by Jason J (ALLEN, TX) Reviewed for a 2012 Dodge Ram — Mar 17, 2013 7:32 AM
The tie downs came in a timely manner at the best price available. They are made of high quality aluminum and were easy to install. The reason for the 4/5 stars for value is that TracRac components are pricey. I would shop at AutoAnything again!

Nigeria's economy has been battered for a months in a row. Hence inflation has increased to its highest in almost 11 years.
At the present rate, the Central bank of Nigeria may not be able to withstand market forces as the economy will most like contract.
Read Also: Muslims attack Catholic Church in Abuja, beat Father.
Nigeria's rate of inflation increased to 16.5 percent from 15.6 in May.
These figures are from National Bureau of Statistics, Abuja.
According to Bloomberg, "That's the highest rate since October 2005, according to data CBN's website.
"Prices rose 1.7 percent in the month.
"The median of seven economist estimates compiled by Bloomberg was for inflation to quicken to 16.2 percent'" Bloomberg reported.
Nigeria imports more than 60% of refined petroleum products.
This is irrespective of the fact that we produce about 1.6 million barrels of crude a day.
The naira has also weakened. At the parallel market, the naira stood at 280 per dollar and trades for 360 on the black market.
A financial analyst with FSDH, Babajide Solanke stated that "Inflation will continue rising because the driving factors are still there.
"Thereafter, it may slowdown in the subsequent months.
"Inflation may not necessarily cause monetary policymakers to increase rates, because that will hurt growth.
"They may choose to use other monetary instruments to tighten liquidity," Solanke said.
According to the International Monetary Fund, IMF, Nigeria's economy may contract for the first time in 20 years.
This is directly linked to fall in revenues from oil and epileptic power supply, Bloomber says.
"Gross domestic product contracted by 0.4 percent in the three months through March.
Read Also: Nigerian Children will be poorer in 10 years time.
This was as a result of the naira peg and restrictions on trading foreign currency which led to a shortage of dollars needed to import fuel and materials for manufacturers.
The Central Bank of Nigeria, which kept its benchmark rate at 12 percent in May, will announce its next policy decision on July 26.

Chair Chat Returns!
IMC USA Chair & CEO, Loraine Huchler, P. E., CMC cordially invites you to join the
conversation about opportunities and resources to grow our organization. As the
board of directors prepares to finalize our strategic plan, we welcome you, our
members, to a wide-ranging discussion of about ways to increase the value of
belonging and the value of IMC for clients and prospects and gain the right
kind of visibility in the marketplace.
Our six strategic objectives are:
Membership – Membership is
central to our organization: retain members and attract new members as well as
attract more small and medium-sized firms as members.
Certification –Certification is
an ISO-accredited mark of excellence, recognized in over 40 countries and one
of the best ways for consultants to differentiate themselves as a competent,
tested professional.
GROW! – This conference
provides us with an opportunity to brand ourselves in the marketplace and build
a larger community of consultants.
– Our future consultants and future members are in our universities. Our
certificate in Management Consulting offered through partner universities
allows us to brand IMC, generate income and provide essential training to
students in executive MBA programs.
– The IMC Academy is an outstanding member value for members who want to pursue
continuing education and upgrade their skills.
Initiatives –
We have two new initiatives: protecting, leveraging and growing non-dues
revenue from the sale of intellectual property to non-members; and broadening
our "umbrella" to include a broad range of consultants.
I look forward to elaborating on our strategic direction and
hearing your ideas and experiences.
P. S. Something on your mind that just can't wait? Let me
know: 609-865-8151 or email@example.com.

Excellent and efficient service provided by Ross Motors. Previously I had always used a Toyota garage but following their move from the area decided to look elsewhere. I used www.whocanfixmycar.com who offered me a number of garages who could undertake a service and MOT for my 13 year old diesel car. I am very pleased I chose Ross Motors. Gavin was very efficient in booking me in and kept me informed when some extra work was inevitably required - rear brake discs and pads. I did not feel, as I have elsewhere, that problems were being sought. The job was done quickly, efficiently and for a good price. I will definitely be using Ross Motors again. Mark Hewitt
Great service!!! Will be going back next time
Definitely recommend Ross motors! great value fast service and above all honest! You should use this garage for sure!
Good price and very helpful and professional.
Job finished on time for the agreed sum. Excellent customer service and value for money, I will definitely be back in the future and recommend Ross Motors to my friends and family.
A £66 estimate ended up in £400 pounds just for fixing the hand brakes. They don't have the tools to test hand brake for 4x4, so shouldn't have taken this job. First we changed one cable, then all the cables, then all the pads. After each fix, the car had to be taken to another place for testing. Customer service was good and they got my MOT done for free,
All the staff were very friendly. A warm drink was provided whilst we waited. The cost was as quoted. Would definately use again.
Excellent service! Very professional and very good value for the service. I will certainly use them again soon for the MOT. Thanks
Done a good job, had no problems so far, very frendly staff, would definitely recommend.
Great Garage
The diagnostic found that the flywheel had to be replaced together with the clutch kit. The job was done very quickly, price was competitive and the car runs perfectly now. I will definitely use their services again.
Did everything asked at the price agreed. Very friendly and much cheaper than the £85 quoted by F1 Autocentres.
Will recommend
Cost more than quoted only due to the fact my car had a rusty downpipe that needed replacing. Great work however and got a replacement car to use in the meantime!
Car was booked in for brake pads and decided to have the mot done as well Burbank garage said it didn't need brake pads doing and the car had failed the mot so booked it back in a week later and had the bits done and had it retested for mot which it passed the one thing I found with this garage was how honest they were where a lot of places would of done the brake pads even if they needed doing or not so I would definitely recommend this place and will be using them again
Excellent comms, accurate pricing, and a professional and prompt service - would definitely use again.
Friendly service, but I doubt that 70 quid was justified, given that i was quoted an MOT of 40 quid. Apparently 20 quid for a "drink" (tip), and the remaining to pass the car which had high emissions by using another car (something dodgy going on here). Says I need a service to solve the emissions problem, but I had done my servicing 3 months ago from a reputable garage! The honesty is questionable when I have to pay 70 quid which is way above the maximum cost of 54.85 that can be charged. I'd like to dispute the total amount I've to pay!
Excellent customer service! Will be using them from now on, and will definitely be recommending them
Amazing hassle free service, also repaired head lamp free of charge, I couldn't fault service, it was the best customer service from owner and his team, highly recommend with 5+ stars, he helped me out big time and gave me a car to use, went out their way to make me feel at ease, would always use now and 100% recommend to anyone, they've restored my faith in mechanics !!! Well done and keep up this brilliant service :) regards Rachel.
brilliant service. Picked up my car from my home in the morning and dropped off in the evening. did exactly what I asked for.
Excellent garage very friendly and very helpful will definitely use again no hidden extras just straight talking so anyone can understand fast and efficient and best of all very cheap thanks will see you next time
Very poor job done. I asked them to investigate wiring issue and to look for damaged wiring ect. They barely looked at the car. They plugged the car in and told me it couldn't read the ecu!!! Well that's the exact reason it was down with you!! They told me possibly a whole wiring loom at the cost of hundreds. Turned out after having a second opinion it was just a broken wire and was fixed easily. These people give mechanics a bad name! I would not recommend this garage this website won't let me unstuck the box!!!!!!
very disappointed! they fixed my car in May, I paid over £ 1000 for that. I paid them very quickly. one month later i received a parking notice, £ 80 to be paid because they didn't pay for the parking ticket. I called the garage and was told to pay for it and forward them the notice in order to be refunded. so i did it. I never received this money!!! I've been calling them every week, they said they transferred the money last week, but still no money in my account. I called them yesterday (today is the 28th August) and they said they were calling me back, of course this didn't happen. I find it ridicolous, I paid over 1000 pounds in 2 days and now I've been chasing them for £ 80, after 2 months they are still not refunding me. no reply to my emails, no calls back as promised, no money. will never and ever go back to them to fix my car.
Garage did exactly what I asked of them Very convenient timing and easy access to leave vehicle at a time that suited me Would come back and would recommend
A professional and quick service would 100% recommend this garage!
Service completed. recommended some other work that needed to be done, but not immediately mandatory.

Firefly: The Killers wrap Day 2 with fireworks
DOVER, Del. – To the thousands of fans who flocked to Firefly Music Festival and waited for The Killers to come on stage about 30 minutes late, the group's performance was, in a word, awesome.
Bombastic rock that has come to define the Las Vegas-based band flowed seamlessly from opener Somebody Told Me to classics like Mr. Brightside. Complete with pyrotechnics, The Killers rounded out a Saturday filled with rock, pop and hip-hop.
MORE: Mix of bands keeps the vibe cool on hot final day
MORE: Jack White kicks off headliners at Firefly fest
They couldn't have imagined this reception: Fellow Vegas natives Imagine Dragons, who opened Day 2 with songs like Imagine, were excited to see Grouplove. They embraced comparisons with The Killers — both have big, emotional tunes.
Lead singer Dan Reynolds has something else to be excited about: a baby arriving in about a month. "I have eight brothers and now my wife (Aja Volkman, lead singer of Nico Vega) is having a girl. So I don't know what expect."
Nearby, guitarist Wayne Sermon's parents watched. "Most parents would not approve of their kid starting a rock band, but my parents said, 'You should get into music and go for it.' " Reynolds' parents are so supportive that they send the band's demos to his dad for feedback. (The band's new album, Night Visions, is out Sept 4.) "I hope to be half of what my dad wants me to be," he says.
Lots of love for Grouplove: Every festival there's a breakout band, and of the 40-plus bands playing here, it was hands-down Grouplove. Each band interviewed gave the group glowing reviews, and the crowd enthusiastically sang along to just about every song, including Colours, Slow and Tongue-Tied.
Grouplove wasn't aware of its lofty status, but the bandmates were open about their group love for Jack White. "Missed Jack White last night because we got here today, but we really just wanted to sit next to him for lunch," says vocalist Hannah Hooper.
"That would have been an awkward video, though," says drummer Ryan Rabin. "I would've been starstruck."
The quintet, who met at an artist commune in Greece, admits that they get cabin fever and sometimes crave alone time. "If we want to get away from each other, we usually go behind our curtains (in their bunk beds on the bus) and cry," jokes guitarist Andrew Wessen. "I miss bathrooms," says Hooper, who is dating blue-haired lead singer Christian Zucconi.
With the end of the tour in sight, the band will make stops Japan and Hawaii before heading back into the studio in 2013. "We've never been to Japan and we're looking forward to Hawaii as a little vacation," says Rabin.
An abundance of Young fans: Young the Giant attracted a massive crowd for its set on Firefly's main stage. Lead singer Sameer Gadhia shone with his creamy, rich vocals. "This is one of our last shows and then we're going back to the studio," says Gadhia. "I'm tired. But it's always fun to play festivals — it's very rejuvenating."
Having just wrapped up a video shout-out for VH1, E! and Access Hollywood, Gadhia admits he's not that comfortable in the spotlight. "We're not best first-impression band — we're mellow, soft-spoken and socially awkward," he says. "It's only onstage that we shed all of that."
Of the band's next album, "it's about a third of the way through the writing process," he says. "The first record, we recorded when we were like 17, and now we're older, just by a little (he's 23) and we've experienced so much now."
Since the band is relatively new to success, Gadhia was happy to give props to a couple of other bands. "Of course, Grouplove is amazing … Ra Ra Riot has been around for a long time and they deserve so much more recognition than they get."
Success comes Knocking: Another under-the-radar act that's attracting a growing following is New York dance duo The Knocks. "We got our name from living in our tiny apartment on Avenue C," says James Patterson, aka JPatt. "We had paper-thin walls and we'd each be recording beats in our rooms, and periodically an angry neighbor would knock on the walls. So we'd go into each other's rooms to mix and say, 'I just got the knocks.' "
Posting a piece of Cake: At festivals, fans snapping photos and posting on Facebook and Twitter while the band plays is as common as foot blisters. But Cake frontman John McCrea would have none of it. "This doesn't have to be an acquisitional experience all the time," the sardonic singer told the crowd during the band's afternoon set. "Even if you forget to post this to Facebook, this is real."
Cake's feel-good jams accented with trumpet and McCrea's ever-present vibraslap created an instant party with singalongs for nearly the whole hour, including Frank Sinatra, Short Skirt, Long Jacket and a killer closer, The Distance, which the band squeezed in, promising that they would "play it real fast."
Even with the crowd whipped up, McCrea took time out to address the movie theater shooting earlier this week at a midnight showing of The Dark Knight Rises.
"I just want to say out thoughts are with the people in Colorado," McCrea said. "We all feel it because we're all connected somehow."
A dose of good-time soul: It was impossible not to smile during Charles Bradley's captivating soul set Saturday afternoon at Firefly's most private spot, the Backyard stage, which is tucked away on the northernmost corner of the 87-acre festival grounds. After all, the man is in his mid-60s, sings soul songs that harken back to '60s and '70s and dresses like he's an extra on Good Times, topped by an over-sized Afro.
He only began singing professionally about 15 years ago, culminating in his first studio album, the perfectly retro No Time for Dreaming. But backed by a young band complete with a horn section, Bradley gave it all he's got, knowing full well that not many 60-somethings get their first crack at being a critically acclaimed musical draw.
He dropped to his knees. He thanked the audience non-stop. And, of course, belted out some quality R&B, proving his nickname "The Screaming Eagle of Soul."
It was in the early '60s that Bradley first saw James Brown perform live and was immediately drawn to the electric legend. Fifty years later, he was at Firefly as the oldest headliner, showing the kids how it's done.

Conference previews
Two-time defending champion Mukwonago has a nice blend of veterans and youth, according to coach Dan Purney. First-team all-conference pitcher Kali Kaestner, a junior, and senior third baseman Carrie Siekierski, a three-year starter, will set the tone. Muskego finished strong to grab second place last season. Ten players return, including seven starters. Junior infielder Annika Graves, senior outfielder Brianna Witter and sophomore catcher Christy Dachowski were first-team all-Classic 8. Third-place Arrowhead brings a lot of speed and will be able to manufacture runs. Seniors Monica Fischer and Noelle Weiss shared pitching duties last season. Makenzie Paszek, a second-team utility pick, also pitched and played third base. Waukesha North has a chance to build on its fourth-place finish. Five players who received all-conference honors are back, led by first-team pick Alyssa Grimm, a shortstop who hit .523 with 23 RBI. Catholic Memorial has gone from one victory in 2010 to 12 last season. The Crusaders' ascent could continue, thanks to the solid defense of senior third baseman Mari Klement, an all-conference first-teamer, and sophomore shortstop Hannah Smith, who coach Brian Johnson believes is poised for a big year after hitting .540 with a .794 slugging percentage last season. Kettle Moraine, which finished sixth last season, is led by senior outfielder Ashley Madsen, a three-year starter who will play at Washington University in St. Louis. Waukesha South's Greg Gloudeman is the only new coach in the league. Helping him usher in a new era will be senior shortstop Callie Schaser, who received honorable mention on the all-conference lists. Waukesha West coach Tim Granger expects his team to be stronger offensively and defensively. Senior Andrea Mader and sophomore Taylor Kelenic are captains.
Menomonee Falls' run at a fourth straight league title is expected to be challenged most by Brookfield Central and Divine Savior Holy Angels, which finished second and third in the league last season. Falls has top-notch pitching and defense. Junior Kelly Berglund was third-team all-state and posted a 1.18 ERA. The left side of the defense is solid, too, with the return of all-conference first-teamers Brittany Robinson at third, Claire Mohrfeld at shortstop and Taylor Paulson in left field. Brookfield Central is strong in the circle, where its top three pitchers return. Sophomore Crystal Sicard is the ace of the staff. Senior infielders Laura Hauser and Angie Chartier are four-year starters. DSHA jumped from last place in 2012 to third last season. The Dashers feature sophomore pitcher Rose Dentice, a second-team all-conference pick last season, and Katherine Walsh, a sophomore shortstop who hit a team-best .441. The rest of the league is filled with new coaches with the most notable departures coming at Brookfield East, where Rich Anderson retired and has been replaced by Ashley Webber, and Sussex Hamilton. Longtime Sussex coach Jim Lawinger is coaching at his alma mater (Platteville) with Tom Schlueter taking the reigns at Hamilton. Hamilton's lineup has the chance to be potent thanks to the return of a number of starters, including three .400 hitters: senior catcher Bailee Bobert, senior outfielder Whitney Wnuk and junior outfielder Emerson Vesley. Hale, coached by Druscilla Schneider, returns league player of the year Sarah Mueller, a pitcher who is the league's most dangerous hitter. Coach Ed Raue moves from Wauwatosa West to Tosa East, where he has seven returning starters and four freshmen he expects to contribute to a team that finished seventh last season. Led by four-year starters Aubrey Nigh at catcher and Kirsten Miller at first base, the Red Raiders hope to make a big jump in the standings after several close losses last season. At West Allis Central, Joe Cascio takes over a program that was winless last season. The focus for this young team he said is "remembering the basics and staying positive one inning at a time."
Teams in the league will again be chasing Kenosha St. Joseph, which reached the Division 3 title game last spring. The Lancers are a senior-laden team led by all-Metro performers Maddie Chase (pitcher) and Maddie Kilby (infield). Racine Lutheran returns just three players from the team that finished second: senior first baseman Miranda Richio, junior catcher Caitlin Eiben and junior centerfielder Shannon Legath. Burlington Catholic Central's No. 1 pitcher, Mackenzie Kyle, a junior, returns for her second season as a starter. She went 6-10 in 2013 but posted a 2.80 ERA. Junior outfielder Tori Kempen (.404) will be one of the Hilltoppers' top hitters. Greendale Martin Luther's Liz Radcliffe and Racine St. Catherine's Corey Scheel are new to the league. Scheel was the co-coach at Division 2 state qualifier New Berlin West last season. The top of St. Catherine's lineup is solid and the team is in good shape at shortstop and catcher, where junior Annie Landreman and senior Amy Grycowski received all-conference honorable mention. Martin Luther will build around all-conference senior infielder Liz Hafemann. Shoreland Lutheran will try to bounce back from a sixth-place finish with six senior returning starters. One of those players is senior catcher Alissa Puder, a second-team all-league selection. St. Thomas More has a core of veterans and a quality freshmen class. The team has just one key senior, Heidi Golembiewski, plus returning all-conference honorable mention pick Grace Walton, a junior.
Defending champion Lake Country Lutheran and Kenosha Christian Life, last season's runner-up, will battle for the title again. Heritage Christian and Wayland Academy are trying to build their programs. Heritage has increased its roster to 18. Senior Rebecca Go, who will split time between pitcher, shortstop and catcher, was first-team all-conference utility last season. Senior Abbey Erzberger, an honorable mention selection, will move around as well, splitting time between catcher, first, third and shortstop. Wayland has a couple of experienced seniors in Jessi Schnacky, who split time between pitcher and catcher, and Laura Peterson, an infielder. Living Word Lutheran canceled its season due to low numbers.
Defending Zussman Division champion Milwaukee King is the team to beat again. Eleven players are back from a team that went undefeated in the league last season. Senior Katie Wasielewski (.589, 36 runs, 21 RBI) is three-time all-City catcher. Pitching is a concern with the graduation of league player of the year Lydia Klabunde. Junior Claire Menzel and senior Kali Norton will handle that duty this year. Hamilton, which is traditionally King's toughest competition, has a new coach, Kaelyn Hogan. She has four returning all-City second-team picks: senior third baseman Tanaya Ruhland and juniors Sandy Yang (second/pitcher), Monica Willoughby (outfield) and Kianna Heredia (catcher). All-City catcher Destiny Mercer will lead Languages, which hopes to get a boost from sophomore outfielder Timeah Stotts, an outfielder. Bay View, which took second in the Martin Division, has senior Jennifer Lyon, a pitcher/catcher who is a three-time all-league choice. She hit .344 last season. Senior infielder Nicole Caraballo posted a .368 average and .556 on-base percentage.
Germantown, the three-time defending champion, is the team to beat. The Warhawks are solid across the board. Senior Kimmy Soderberg, the team's No. 2 pitcher last season, is poised to take over the No. 1 spot. The team has no returning first-team all-league selections, but Soderberg, senior shortstop Erika Berry (.362) and senior outfielder Becky Soderberg (.308) received second-team or honorable mention. Grafton's Amanda Hunt, the league's 2013 player of the year, is out due to a torn anterior cruciate ligament she suffered during basketball season. Senior third baseman Emmy Kabitzke will pick up some of the slack in the circle, and sophomore infielder Katie Hunt will provide versatility defensively while continuing to improve at the plate. Homestead returns seven starters from the team that finished third. Junior shortstop Hannah Behnken was a first-team all-conference pick. Juniors Carly Schulz and Meggie Lampen give the team a solid pitcher-catcher combination. The rest of the league has a number of teams with potential. Port Washington will be inexperienced in the outfield and at catcher but returns No. 1 pitcher Maggie Schmidt, a junior, and senior shortstop Kelsey Brockman. Nicolet returns six starters, four of whom received all-conference mention: senior shortstop Edyn Herbert, junior pitcher Amanda Mehl, sophomore second baseman Sam Peltz and senior catcher Jaclyn Clark. Whitefish Bay should be fun to watch with the speed it brings. Blue Dukes junior Anna Lauko was all-state last season and fellow outfielders Emily Bonner, a junior, and Amelia Flint, a senior, received all-conference honors. Cedarburg first-year coach Erin Mann will rely on the leadership of seniors Erika Proehl and Katie Gasperetti to help the Bulldogs improve on last season's seventh-place finish. Milwaukee Lutheran, which finished eighth last season, hopes to move up the standings with a more experienced group. Seniors Emily Neumann (left field) and Lizzy Vavruska (catcher) are four-year starters
Kenosha Bradford's run of titles is six years and counting. The Red Devils have plenty of experience to extend the run. Eight players from the 2013 Division 1 state runner-up squad are back, including all-state catcher Kori Grasso and all-district outfielder Angie Malsack. Both are seniors. Expectations are high at Racine Case, where first-year coach Don Katzer has 11 players back from a sectional final squad. Senior Courtney Ellingson is one of the state's top pitchers, while senior shortstop/third baseman Lauren Heffel, a second-team all-league pick, is one of five all-conference performers back overall. Senior catcher Breanna Guenther is a three-year starter. Kenosha Tremper is another contender. Senior Courtney Reeves is one of the league's many talented catchers. Along with senior outfielder Bridget Nelson, Reeves will provide the big sticks in the lineup. Senior pitcher Sadie Schmidt is a four-year starter. Speaking of pitching, Kenosha Indian Trail has plenty. Sophomore Emilia Jackson was a second-team all-Southeast pick last season. Coach Megan Weber-Vassos thinks she has two more quality arms and a team full of players capable of playing multiple positions. Tom Thurin is the new coach at Franklin. The Sabers have depth at a number of positions. Watch out for seniors Kayla Hirt (first baseman) and Andi Zblewski and junior Sidney Behlendorf (utility). They all were first- or second-team all-conference last season. Second-year coach Jeff Trask expects a strong offense at Oak Creek, though the team will be pretty young overall. Senior utility Kayla Grant (.357) and senior third baseman Mikayla Kenney (.338) were first-team all-Southeast selections. Trask also hopes to get a boost from the return of junior catcher Lauren Blunt, who was hitting .406 before getting injured midway through the season. Racine Horlick has a nice core of young players to build around. Sophomore Vienne Seitz, a second-team outfielder, moves to shortstop. Juniors Katie Adams (first base), Cassie Walek (second) and Ashleigh Valukas (third) received all-league honorable mention.
Defending Division 1 state champion Westosha Central has several key players back but must replace D1 state player of the year Sarah Fonk, the team's pitcher. The lineup is loaded with quality hitters, though. Sophomore third baseman Kayla Konwent (.541, 11 home runs) has unparalleled power. Seniors Larkin Langston (.446), Taylor Bergles (.460) and Liz Fonk (.413) all had big junior seasons. The Falcons' top competition is expected to come from Union Grove and Waterford. Waterford, which finished second and lost to Central in the sectional final, returns ace Maddie Szalewski, a senior who went 15-5 with a 1.92 ERA last season. The Wolverines are also set at shortstop, where junior Jenna Bouffiou will try to build on a sophomore season in which she hit .373 and claimed honorable mention on the all-league team. Union Grove, which finished third, has a deep roster, and coach Ryan Boylen believes his lineup will have a nice blend of "power, speed and contact" that should produce runs. The team's top two pitchers, sophomores Allie Trudeau and Alyssa McClelland, are back as are junior infielder Cassidy Kortendick and sophomore infielder Claire Ryan, two all-conference picks. Wilmot was extremely young last season. As a result it has eight returners who played a lot but eight underclassmen are on the roster. Upperclassmen leading the team will be senior third baseman Kerrigan Patterson (.333) and junior pitchers Lauren Orszula and Justine Schattner, who combined for 13 victories last season. Sophomore second baseman Sawyer Wightman, a second-team all-SLC pick, hit .373. Burlington's best players last season were freshmen. Pitcher Danielle Koenen received honorable mention on the all-conference team; Chyanne Onstad, an honorable mention outfielder last season, has moved to catcher and infielder. Emily Stipek is Lake Geneva Badger's new coach. Among the Badgers' returning letterwinners are seniors Molly Schumacher and Ashley Sanew, the team's top two pitchers last season, and sophomore Kiley Johnson, an infielder who hit .400. Elkhorn moves down to Division 2. All its key players return, including sophomore Morgan Rudolf, a sophomore infielder/pitcher who received honorable mention all-conference. Delavan-Darien jumped from two wins in the league in 2012 to seven last year with the help of pitcher Jennah Spaeth. The sophomore was a first-team all-league pick as an infielder, but she also pitched. She went 12-7 in the circle with 160 strikeouts and a 3.28 ERA in 132 1/3 innings. She also led the team in hitting with a .451 average. In fact, all of the Comets' top hitters are back: sophomore shortstop Brooke Boss (.380), sophomore first baseman Amber Reed (.361) and junior second baseman Cindy Crawford (.338).
Watertown, which finished second behind Oconomowoc, is considered the team to beat. Hartford could be the Goslings' toughest competition. The Orioles, who tied for third last year, are set at pitcher, where senior Clare Robbe is a four-year starter and three-time all-league performer, and catcher, where senior Rachel Cammack is the returning starter. Senior outfielder Rachael Marinin and senior first baseman Nicole Klipstein also received all-league honorable mention. Beaver Dam, led by new coach Tim Ladron, has eight returning starters and just one senior from a team that took fifth last season. Junior pitcher/infielder Brooke Heck hit .418 with 20 RBI last season. Two other .400 hitters return: junior third baseman Ashley Stobbe (.410, 16 RBI) and junior catcher Kayla Murray (.416, 14 RBI). Oconomowoc coach Dave Schweder expects to have a quality lineup at the plate, but the battery is new. Senior Lexi Punzel, who hit .430 last season, was second-team all-conference in the infield, while junior Brooke Little was a second-team infielder who will take over pitching duties. Dallas Wodsedalek is the new coach at West Bend West. The Spartans have four-year starter Sally Mundinger back in the circle and expect to be in the thick of the league race. Slinger coach Steve Fischer says his team has good speed, depth, athleticism and versatility. Second-team all-league selection Megan Breuer, an infielder, hit .366 last season as a sophomore. Wisconsin Lutheran, which finished seventh last season, expected to be much improved. Its top players, Sarah Throgmorton (catcher) and Katie Grunert (pitcher), were freshmen last year. Senior pitcher Randee Witz led West Bend East in hitting last season (.400), while seniors Natalie Geidel (first base) and Tori Schwartz (shortstop) are solid in the field.
Defending co-champion South Milwaukee returns division player of the year Abby Mahsem, a junior who hit .467 and struck out 192. The Rockets' other big sticks are sophomore Maygen Marcell, a second baseman/shortstop who hit .398, and Caitlin Schwanke, a sophomore third baseman who hit .433. Whitnall, which shared the title with South Milwaukee in 2013, graduated just two starters. Sophomores Alex Cimler and Sarah Bauer will be the team's top two pitchers again. Defense is the team's strength, coach Tom Hickman said. Junior third baseman Liz Thon (.562) will be a presence in the field and at the plate. Greenfield will be in the hunt again, too. The Hawks, third last season, return their top two pitchers and seven other starters. Senior shortstop Sara Kassel (.371) is a three-year captain and all-division first-teamer. Sophomore Kaylan Blersack, who splits time in the circle and infield, was the first-team all-division utility player. Sophomore Isabella Mathias earned second-team honors as a pitcher and hit .378. Cudahy, which won a Division 2 regional title last year, returns a number of quality players, but there is also lot a lot of youth. Junior catcher Bailey Kraft is the team's top player, but senior second baseman Courtney Krznarich, sophomore shortstop Sam Gorski and sophomore outfielder Jessica Kessler were honorable mention all-division selections. Shorewood has five returning letterwinners. Aisling Maloney (.368) and Brittany Lee (.318) will be counted on to lead the offense. There are two new coaches in the league: Brown Deer's Chris Miller and St. Francis' Colleen Rooney. Rooney's goal this season is to develop players' love for the game and build confidence and "mental smartness." Brown Deer has just one senior, catcher/outfielder Katie Montgomery. Junior infielder/pitcher Shannon Murphy is a "junior by grade but a senior by leadership".
New Berlin West rose from third place in the division last year to qualify for its first state tournament appearance. This year the Vikings are one of the teams to beat. Six starters are back, including five all-division picks in the infield. Those players were also West's most productive hitters. Seniors Mallory Klotz, a shortstop, and Kailey Nealon, an outfielder in 2013 who moves back to the infield (second base) this year, were first-team picks. Defending champion New Berlin Eisenhower returns its top two offensive players in juniors Steffi Lombardo, an infielder, and Katie Schlegel, a pitcher. And as one of the league's traditional powers, Eisenhower has a solid group of junior varsity players to draw from to fill the holes left by last year's graduating class. Milwaukee Pius, which finished second last year, will have a new battery, but four players who received all-conference mention return. Some of those players changed positions, though. Senior Becky Blando, a second-team outfielder, will pitch, and senior Natalie Schraith, who received honorable mention as an infielder, will catch. Greendale struggled last season, but the Panthers have the potential to show improvement. The team's ace, junior Heather Justus, is back after receiving all-division honorable mention last year. The team is also solid defensively up the middle with sophomore shortstop Ellen Davis, an all-division second-teamer, and junior second baseman Bailey Jedrzejewski. Pewaukee coach Jerry Alberti says speed and defense will be the strength of his squad. Nine letterwinners are back, including three all-division selections. Only senior catcher Ellen Wertz is playing the same position, though. Senior Angela Andes, an infielder last season, is listed as a pitcher this year and junior Makenzie Barton, an outfielder last season, is listed as the team's second baseman this year.
Palmyra-Eagle, a member of the Rock Valley South, has several experienced players, but the three seniors it graduated last year were all key performers. Senior shortstop Brooke Balk (St. Cloud State) is the school's first scholarship athlete in school history, Panthers coach Deb Balk said. Kettle Moraine Lutheran of the Wisconsin Flyway, returns all-conference second-teamer Sydney Hanick.

Holster or drop gun, do as they say and hope there's a good witness.

Holster or drop gun, do as they say and hope there's a good witness.
I just watched the movie SALT and the final action scene just before SWAT storms into the bunker is a good example of how a situation could play out with you as the BG...
Gives me pause...The Duke
"It's time to nut up or shut up" - Woody Harrelson, "Tallahassee" in "Zombieland"
Close but no cigar....re-holster, and put your hands UP (standing on your own weapon makes it useless to you unless you have monkey feet...if you re-holster, your weapon is out of your hand, secure from other people's grasp, yet still accessible IF the need for it arizes again). That is what we are trained to do as far back as the academy in an off duty or a plain clothes incident. If we can't for some reason display our badge, or if responding officers come up from behind....they might now know we are a cop, or whatever. But, we recognize their MAY BE an off duty or plain clothes officer there. It WILL get sorted out. Mean time...do what the nice officers tell you.
Obey all LE commands RIGHT NOW.
It will be sorted out.
TELL the officers you are armed and WHERE YOUR GUN IS. Volunteer that info...don't make them search you. Just fess up to where it is...it WILL be sorted out.
You WILL be handcuffed. Don't sweat it. It WILL happen. Don't get all "Second Ammendmenty" and "Constitution this and that"....remember this would be an EXTREMELY tense moment for YOU and the OFFICERS responding. Now is NOT the time to get on a soap box. This is a traumatic event. Remain calm, do what you're told, and it WILL be sorted out.
Make sure you take note of witnesses to YOUR actions versus the shooter.
Make sure you said silly things like.."Stop, drop the weapon!" or even "POLICE! Stop!" (IF some whizz bag claims you were impersonating an officer you can reply..."I was CALLING for the police!").
In short...what happens in the moments following a critical incident are just as dangerous as the incident itself. Some advocating saying nothing at all....EH EH EH WRONG.
"Officer, I was in a shooting. That man/woman lying over there had a (insert gun/knife/flame thrower here), and it is laying _________________. He/she shot into the crowd, I was in fear for my life and the lives of the people around him. I want to cooperate totally, but I am very shaken right now and I'd rather not say more until I have had a chance to talk to a lawyer."
It "WILL BE SORTED OUT," or not. If only he'd holstered his weapon? (which he could not reasonably do in the midst of the melee.):
Baltimore Plainclothes Cop Killed
Drawing your weapon puts you in jeopardy. More so in a defense-of-others situation than in defense of self alone.
It could be worse!
I suppose
The tragedy in MD is a whole different scenario from the one the OP posted, which was the one I was answering. The shooting in MD happened while a scuffle was still in progress. Any officers rolling on this call would know an incident was IN PROGRESS, and may already know there is at least one armed subject. It may be a club known to officers in that district for having trouble. There are lots of what ifs and variables. I was answering a question about a singular incident.
I have a pretty good handle on the way TPD and the PCSD would handle rolling up on a scene where the THREAT HAD SEEMINGLY PASSED and you have a downed subject and a person of interest standing with his hands up and holstered weapon. No professional officer will get out guns a blazin' in that case. I went to the same academy as those officers and worked for both departments during my career. I started with the city, then moved to county for 20 years before I retired. I know how they are trained.
It will never fail to amaze me how many apples and oranges get compared in a pear orchard.
Your previous post though, was interesting. I've always thought the same thing. If a cop shows up DURING the shooting, drop my gun as soon as they arrive on scene. But if they show up after I'm done, I'll have already re-holstered my firearm and will immediately 'hands-up' surrender and ID myself as the good guy, and let them take me into custody if they wish. After all, they just have my word on a very wild scene where someone has been shot and I just admitted to shooting at least one person.
And no sudden moves :)
A Non-LE involved active shooter incident played out this way: Subject opens fire at a gathering (who cares where...people are crowded together). Several bystanders are hit, some onlookers run, some are paralyzed by fear. Some don't even recognize what is happening as they believe that life is all lollipops and cotton candy and it MUST be firecrackers. One guy or gal with a CCW and an evil yucky gun (that's for the libs), based upon training (hopefully he or she has aquired some) recognizes a threat, sees the shooter, evaluates the shot (Can he/she make it safely without hurting yet more innocents?) and deals with it. Let's say it is a good center mass pump stopper, and the subject drops like a stone. Good Guy/Gal does a fast reload, scans the target area while still covering the downed subject...seeing the threat has apparently abated, and is down and no longer armed. Goog Guy/Gal moves the subject's weapon away from his grasp, and reholsters HIS own weapon as responding officers roll in. Good Guy/Gay steps back raises his hands and waits for the R/O's instructions, and complies competely without hesitation.
Does anyone here really think a cop is going to shoot him now?
It WILL get sorted out.
Note: It probably took ten times longer to type the last paragraph than it would for that incident from first-shot to holstering the weapon. Think about that....it ain't like TV.
I guess the issue is what if the RO shows up right as you're shooting? All he knows is that shots were fired in a crowd, people are down, and that he sees you shooting some guy carrying a gun. Is that guy the bad guy? A good CCer? A plains clothes cop? A nearby storeowner who tried to shoot at the shooter? Who knows. I guess the critical issue here is whether you notice the RO has arrived, or are you still focused on your target?
Nonetheless, you're right - staying alert and using common sense is paramount, especially as your hearing and vision is going to be compromised (you'll have tunnel vision) after the adrenaline rush and shots fired.
My CCW instructor suggested that you take cover, reload, and wait for the cops. Have someone else call 911, not yourself. Don't say anything until you get your lawyer.
I'm sure there could be a lot of discussion on this. How does it look to the cops when they arrive on the scene and there is some guy in the bushes with a gun drawn? What if another permit holder comes along. What is he/she going to do?
We're all in favor of reducing violent crime. It's just that pro-gunners have a method that is proven effective. Anti-gunners don't.
John Moses Browning day is January 24th, 2011
Plus, it might be movie-esque, but there's the possibility that if I don't make my lack of hostile intentions clear, the real perp might escape while I'm trying to convince the LEO I'm on their side or am otherwise distracting them.
I would pull and shoot fully aware I may be considered a BG at some point. That is the case with almost any SD shooting. I know only one cc permit holder in RL who was involved in a SD shooting. LE, officer who knew the victim (aka good guy with a cc who pulled during an armed car jacking attempt), yelled at him several times to lower his firearm. LE and cc / GG / gunowner were more then passing acquaintances, see each other weekly.
GG / victim had tunnel vision, and so did the LE. GG / victim finally lowered firearm, LE stated he had to catch himself at that moment because LE's finger was on trigger in the process to fire.
For the LE, when he arrived, all he could see was a guy with a gun looking all over the place with gun up, and a dead teen. Only until other LE arrived did 1st responding LE figure out who it was.
I assume every time you draw your weapon in SD, the chance of being considered a BG by a 3rd party increases, but it is all about playing the cards you are dealt, the situation, and the odds. You put your life at risk when you draw, but most likely your life was already at risk.
If I had been there, unless I was wetting my pants, any maybe even if I was wetting my pants, I would have drawn and shot if I could have ended the threat.
Am I a bull in a china shop? Maybe. The only thing in my heart I'm concerned about in a SD situatuion is will I harm an innocent, while intending to take out BG. This is the greatest concern I have in a SD situation. In contrast, what I would suffer with to the grave, is if I did nothing when I could have stopped the threat.

The OODA loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) which Biker refered to in his post is taught in each of our classes. Colonel John Boyd came up with the model, and it is can be used in all manner of problem solving including self defense situtations.
Lots of folks have already covered what one should do it they have time after being involved in a shooting, whether it is a mass shooting or you and one other guy/gal whatever. If the threat is stopped and there appear to be no other threats, get the gun out of your hand, holster it, stand on it if you wish. I prefer the reholster method myself if possible. Most importantly follow directions of any LEO's once they make themselves known. Point out the bad guy, if it is a mass shooting situation many other people will be pointing him out as well. Again, follow directions of the LEO's that respond, after they disarm you, it is your call as to what you tell them, or don't tell them.
Just remember that shot placement is much more important with what you carry than how big a bang you get with each trigger pull.

Formed in Milwaukee, WI, in the early '80s, Die Kreuzen took equal parts of heavy metal and hardcore punk as its inspiration, producing some of the more challenging indie rock of the period and in many ways anticipating the grunge rock sound of the '90s. The band consisted of Dan Kubinski (vocals), Brian Egeness (guitar), Keith Brammer (bass), and Eric Tunison (drums). After signing to Touch & Go in 1984, they continued a move from hardcore into a more traditional hard rock sound. ~ Chris Woodstra

That's exactly what I said - but in reverse :-) - How do you plan to integrate between web-server-based authentication and tomcat ? ( static files are served by the web server ). - How can you implement "trust only users from a certain IP domain ( a very valid and common security restriction )"? And most important question: Why use an interface that doesn't provide you anything that is not already available, but reduce the flexibility and add complexity ? What is missing in the current model? It seems all web servers ( IIS, Nes, Apache at least) are doing fine with the filter/SAF/module model. The interceptor is not supposed to implement password-based authentication - it is just a _bridge_ between tomcat and the real backend - that can be anything, including Realm ( or JAAS, or JNDI ). With the addition that you can take complex decisions based on the full request.

Yes - the interceptor is not supposed to implement authentication lookups, but to _use_ a component. With the difference that the authentication component is not imposed by tomcat, but it's anything you want, with any interface. It needs to be in its own component - but the component is not under our control, we should use existing systems where possible. Costin

Kailua-Kona Airport Taxis and Shuttles – Cost and Availability
Filed under: Big Island, Hawaii - general, Vacation Planning
Our flight arrives in Kona after all the car rental companies are closed (I was told they all close at 10:00 p.m.)
My questions is – would it be best to take a cab from the airport to Keauhou – if so, roughly what wouild be the cost? Should it be reserved in advance? I'm concerned because 300+ people may be looking for transportation to their hotels as they cannot pick up ther rental cars that evening.
Any information on the best way to get to our condo would be appreciated.
I called a couple of taxi companies, and the airport to Keauhou will cost $36 to $39. It doesn't seem like they take advanced reservations but one company gave me a number of the closest company to the airport if you find yourself unable to get a cab – she said call 329-1977 Mel's Taxi and they'll come right down. I can understand your concern, but if the taxi companies know the flight is coming in and they know the car rental companies are closed I am sure they'll all be ready and waiting.
You also could reserve with speedishuttle– their phone message says they operate every day of the year, from the first flight in the morning to the last flight in the evening.
Have a wonderful vacation! Lisa

Jake Walden wants you to know that while he might be
bleeding love, he's not broken. The Northern California
native is thoughtful, warm, and genuine, something that comes across clearly in
his frequent blog posts and intimate YouTube videos. His voice ranges between a
gravelly rasp and angelic falsettos, but it's his simple, beautiful melodies
and introspective lyrics that really grab you by the heart and don't let go.
On October 20, the out singer-songwriter released a new single
— a tender cover of Leona Lewis's "Bleeding Love," recorded as a duet
— and re-released his debut album, Alive
and Screaming, with additional live tracks. But it's another tune that
might soon be stealing the spotlight. He's hoping one of his other songs will become
a marriage-rights anthem … and he needs your help to make it happen.
AfterElton.com sat down recently with Jake to discuss his
new album, his views on being a gay artist, the birth of an anthem, and whether
or not he's available.
AfterElton.com: Hi Jake, congratulations on the new CD!
Jake Walden: Well, thanks, man! I'm pretty excited. It's been a long time
coming to re-release the album with these live tracks and with "Bleeding
Love." It took us like a year to get permission to do it.
AE: How did the "Bleeding Love" cover
come about?
JW: It was literally almost a year ago, Bonnie [Somerville] and I had been doing some shows in L.A. and New York. She is an
amazing singer and songwriter in her own right. We were going to try to do some
shows, so she came over to my little apartment, and we worked on some
background vocals for "The Line" and "Wide Awake." Then she
said, "I really want to do a cover song with you. Don't laugh, but I want
us to do 'Bleeding Love.'" It was a huge song at that time. And me being,
I don't know, somewhat hippy pretentious, was like, "I'm not doing some
slick pop song." [laughs]
She left, then late that night, I sat at the piano and just
started to kind of figure it out and play it. And suddenly, I was just like,
"Oh my God, this is beautiful!" It's really haunting. She came over
the next day, and sat on the piano bench next to me, and we just started to
sing. It was just one of those moments. It was like our voices were meant to be
together. We got to the chorus and started singing the harmonies and it was
like the male and female version of the same voice.
AE: Will there be a video for "Bleeding
JW: Yes. It's out now. It was done by an amazing animator, graphic designer
friend of mine, Holly. It is the most amazing, beautiful, haunting piece of
work. I always talk about my favorite book being The Giving Tree, and one of the things I love about the book are
the picture Shel Silverstein had drawn, so the style came from that kind of
look. Very simple, but the story follows the two characters through many eras,
five hundred years of unrequited love. I think people will be blown away by the
AE: You also have a beautiful video for
"For Someone" starring Bevin Price of One Tree Hill. Now you're an openly gay artist, but the video was
very heterosexual. Was that deliberate or just the artistic vision for the
JW: Wow. Interesting question. Yes, I'm openly gay as a person, but I've
never considered myself a gay artist, just because my work has nothing to do
with that. When I released the album, The
Advocate asked to do a piece on me. Honestly, that was the first time I'd
ever thought about saying whether I was gay or straight. It was just so not an
issue for me. It's not a big piece of my life, especially if I'm not in a
relationship. [laughs]
When we made the video "For Someone," it's not
that I was trying to hide anything. I'm just the narrator in the video. I
specifically didn't want it to be about me. The song isn't about me. As far as
videos on the future? I don't know.
AE: Would you ever consider doing a more
gay-themed video, or would you avoid that to steer clear of the "gay
artist" label?
JW: I would be interested in making a video where there are obviously gay
people in it, but you'll never see me doing a gay love story. In all my work,
in my blogs, and all the things I write, in all my honesty, in all the truth
that I hope to say about myself, there are some things that are mine, that I
don't feel comfortable making my work about.
I don't know what others will think of that. I would hope
the gay community would just see that as another form of expression, and the
truth of what it means to be a gay person at this time — just to be who the f**k
you are! This is who I am. If we're to move forward and be embraced as full
people — not just who we have sex with — I don't want to focus, like so many,
on the sexuality of our sexuality. I want to focus on all that we are as
I don't know what the future might hold. Life changes every
day. I am a different person now than I was a year ago, two years ago. I never
thought I'd even be talking to you about being gay right now for an interview.
It had just never crossed my mind. I'm still finding my way like everyone else.
AE: You're definitely something of a
philosopher, both with your songs and your blog. Let's talk about "We
Are." Earlier you called it an anthem. What did you mean by that?
JW: "We are, We are, We are not broken" became a line that would
get people every time when I performed it, and people would start to sing
along. And then it became stories of why they are not broken. No matter what
circumstance come into your lives, there's hope. It's not going to break you,
just make you stronger. It's the oldest cliché in the book, I suppose, but it's
one of the things that we forget most often.
It became kind of an anthem because people would sing along,
and I realized the magnitude of this simple line, this song. When I went to Las Vegas in April for
the AIDS Walk, and I sang that song in front of ten thousand people, I asked
people to sing along. We knew that "We Are," in that particular
moment, could mean something very specific. It started to relate to me in a gay
I don't think anyone can deny that being a gay person at any
time, even now, adds a lot of dimensions to our lives that are difficult. But I
realized for these people who were fighting AIDS, this is real shit, that this
song could mean something greater than myself in that moment. And it really
did. It was a life-changing moment.
So now what we're working on, we just re-recorded "We
Are," and we're approaching mainstream singers like Rob Thomas, Natalie
Maines, Dave Matthews, John Mayer, and we're trying to get them to record it as
a kind of group song, then release it and give all the proceeds to a charitable
organization which is yet to be determined — hopefully HRC — who we can stand
beside in our fight for marriage and all other forms of equality.
All of a sudden, I'm becoming political, which I never
thought, but like I said, it's just the truth of where I'm at right now. I
really believe in this cause. I sat a year ago in the redwoods with my family
as my aunts got married, these two women, and it was the most normal and
beautiful thing ever. I want that. I'm not afraid to say that.
"We Are" has the potential, if everything works
out as I hope, to raise a lot of money for a cause I truly believe in. As in
any civil rights movement, all of us gays can go out on the streets and say,
"Give us our rights," but until people who aren't gay get out on the
streets and say the same thing, we're not going to get there.
AE: These are all
artists who are really supportive of our cause, so I could really see that
coming together. That's really amazing.
JW: Did you read Rob Thomas' article in the Huffington Post? It was
amazing! That straight man changed my view as a gay man on gay marriage. He
really did. That's how this whole project came to be, because of how succinctly
and beautifully he stated what needs to be said by people like him and by myself and other gay people. I'm
not excluding myself. I think it could be amazing. We've been working on this
for a couple months. I feel so passionately about it, and I really believe it's
going to come together.
In fact, if your readers really want to help with this, they
can Twitter or Facebook Rob and the rest of our wish list and encourage them to
do it! Tell them, "Do it! Do 'We Are!'"
AE: Are you single or taken?
JW: I am very single … and almost available. [laughs]
I don't know how to be with someone. I've been alone for so
long now, not just not having a boyfriend, but always being alone. It's like
coming out of jail almost. I'm still learning how to relate to people again. I'm
the biggest romantic in the world. There's nothing more important in the world
than finding love and giving love.
AE: What's next for you? Is there a new album?
JW: I'm about halfway through the composition of a new album. We're hoping
to record in February. What we're doing — and this is an exclusive to you — in
about six weeks we're starting a new model: to make an album that's funded by
fans. We're creating this whole thing called The Giving Tree. I'm writing a
book, doing a journal, all these different things, people can get private house
parties, I'll record a song just for you, people can preorder the album, and
I'm also going to document the whole making of the album. Hopefully, it will
allow people who have been so dedicated and have contributed so much to me
creatively and as my friends to make this album together, in a way.
I can't make the album I need to make on my own again. I
just can't do it. So it'll be really interesting to see if people are willing
put their money where their mouth is. It remains to be seen. We need to raise a
lot of money. We're offering people a lot of interesting things in return, but
we'll see.
AE: When will the Bleeding Love EP and deluxe edition of Alive and Screaming be officially available?
JW: We just got word that it'll be available on October 20th. It will only
be available digitally. I've never been more proud of a recording, and it's
funny because I didn't even write it. I have really high hopes for it, to be
AE: And where can we find you online?
