Mirror: Depressed man 'cured' by revolutionary treatment
The Daily Mirror kicked off Mental Health Awareness Week #MHAW2017 with the story of Smart TMS patient Freddie Webster, who beat serious long term depression with rTMS treatment.
The feature 'Depressed man has been 'cured' by revolutionary treatment – and it doesn't involve drugs' examines how Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation helped Freddie to move on from a 10 year history of depression with suicidal thoughts.
Freddie's TMS Experience
Freddie struggled with serious depression for many years. He told the Mirror:
"The depression impacted all areas of my life. When it got more severe it would affect how I functioned at work, my motivation, my ability to make simple decisions, to communicate, even getting to the train on time."
Having, trying medication and exercise but never really getting better
"One day I listened to a podcast with an American comedian who struggles with clinical depression. He said the only thing that worked for him was a treatment called TMS – a magnetic therapy for the brain. I'd never heard of it. He described what it was like, and said it felt like the weight he'd carried on his forehead for as long as he could remember had been lifted. It allowed him to come off medication completely, and he was no longer in pain.
"I knew I had to do it. I asked an NHS psychiatrist's opinion before I went ahead and they said they only paid for it in extremely disruptive and severe cases, and had only used it on someone who was so violent he could have ended up in prison without it. I had to seek private help.
"Of course, there was part of me that had doubts because it was expensive, but at that point I would have tried anything. I knew I couldn't live my life any more like that, I was willing to do anything and I'd have sold anything I had to do it. I called a psychiatric clinic specialising in TMS, had a consultation and was told I was suitable for treatment, which uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the front area of the brain affected by mental health problems, so the neural pathways in the brain are stimulated and re-grown."
Freddie had 20 sessions of rTMS therapy for depression, each around 40 minutes long, followed by 15 minutes focusing on the right side of the brain to deliver anxiety treatment.
Freddie describes how the results built up:
"For the first three weeks there was an up and down in my mood as the relief gradually came in, and the real change came in the last two weeks of treatment when I started to feel normal all the time. I felt confident things were different this time, that it was a purer kind of feeling than I had felt for 10 years. It was like I was re-growing that invisible broken leg and, not just that, I was walking and even running on it.
"I finished the treatment three months ago and life has gone up and up and up, and I'm still improving every day, it didn't just end when the treatment ended. I can't remember feeling so consistently like myself and at my full potential like this for over a decade.
"I have a healthy brain and I feel confident the depression isn't going to come back because I've been fixed – it's not just putting a plaster on it like drugs can."
Expert Opinion
Dr. Alex O'Neill-Kerr, Consultant Adviser to Smart TMS and Medical Director – Northamptonshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust says:
"For some patients TMS can be a life-changing treatment. Around 30% of patients who have this form of treatment report having no symptoms of depression afterwards, while others say their depressive symptoms are significantly reduced. We hope to see TMS offered by the NHS, as we know current treatment for resistant depression costs twice as much and is not proven to be more effective."

I have to say that Gerry's workouts have proved his catch phrase "be race ready" to be true. I can now confidently line up and jump into the open water without hesitation. His beach workouts and instruction have provided the added confidence I needed to get to a different level.
I can appreciate all he has given to us in his workouts and know it is all for the good. Gerry's workouts definitely have increased my knowledge of swimming a great deal and improved my fitness level as well. He provides us with so many different perspectives on not only swimming, but swimming smart.
I like to say that I have a lot of hay in the barn now, but I need to work on stacking it in the right places. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to swim with Gerry and I wish the same for everyone out there. He is one of a kind, give him a call.

If you're naturally genuine, then its a plus if you're seeking a job in the medical field. Yes there are doctors, nurses, and therapists; but one significant individual flying under the radar is the certified nursing assistant (CNA). The phrase might be unfamiliar with you, but this actually is the term for a person looking after patients and is under the control of a nurse or medical doctor. They're the ones who get your bed sheets done, get your vital signs, aid you in getting around, and even discussing with you and hearing your stories. You might consider yourself compassionate, in reality that won't be sufficient. So prior to deciding to embark into this career, make sure to obtain a CNA license first.
Of course, there are particular requirements. An aspirant should first go through an accredited training program, after which a licensing examination will be given which should be taken and passed. A CNA training is a series of classroom and laboratory lessons made to develop the actual required knowledge and skill-sets needed for the job. Every state gives certain number of hours for this training's timeframe. Say in Kentucky, the mandatory training hours is 75 hours minimum.
Upon completion of the training program, the last challenge you will need to face is the certification test. This examination is known to be divided into two parts: written (about theories and principles) and practical (hands-on test). Passing this licensure test would get you certified and officially included in the medical team.
Progressively, the need for CNAs is continuously rising; especially that people normally age as time passes and the population never runs out of ill ones. That's the reason a career in the health care industry is not affected even by recession. Studies have shown that Louisville is the top recruiter of CNAs. If you want to grab this chance, starting a career at this time is the best move. Apart from earning a competitive sum of money, it's so much worthwhile to be in a position where you can touch people's lives and give rise to the improvement of the human species.Author: Paula Shelton

Making innovative new products in response to our customers feedback
At Ecotile we take our commitment to new product innovation seriously. We have an active Research and Development lab at our ISO9001 Certified production plant in Luton, Bedfordshire and constantly look to break new ground in the industrial, commercial and garage flooring sectors.
We have developed two brand new products this year alone, which we are highlighting on this page.
Both of these came in response to our customer surveys. It's the great advantage of being a manufacturer; our ability to respond to feedback and suggestions with great new solutions that no-one else has thought of.
Check out the very latest from Ecotile's R&D Team here!
New! The Reinforced 7mm Ecotile
People kept asking us if they could put a light coloured tile on their garage floor, but we always had to advise against it. Not anymore!
What was the problem?
When a light-coloured garage tile meets a black rubber vehicle tyre bad things happen. A chemical reaction occurs and the dark rubber migrates into the PVC, leaving an ugly greeny-brown stain that can't be removed. Lots of people would like a bright garage floor but are stuck with darker tiles because of this common problem.
Our Solution
We've developed a unique 7mm thick smooth textured tile with a 3mm thick metal plate placed in the centre that sits flush with the tile. Not only do they look amazing but they are incredibly practical. Simply insert 4 of these tiles in to your Ecotile floor where tyres will rest and the rest of your floor can be any colour you choose.
These tiles are also popular with our customers who own motorbikes. They make an excellent surface to support the motorbike stand – as you can see in this photo at a BMW motorbike dealership.
New! Speckled Decorative Ecotile with Grey Background
Our hugely popular Speckled Ecotiles have always been a hit with customers, now they can choose a new lighter background colour.
The problem?
Our Speckled Decorative tiles have always done a great job at hiding the inevitable marks that occur in busy, high traffic areas. But in tight spaces and small poorly lit rooms they have sometimes felt a bit too dark.
The Solution
We have developed brand new technology that allows us to produce the same tile in a grey finish. This gives a nice bright and attractive silvery effect that looks amazing whilst still hiding all of those tiny accidents. These new tiles are a massive hit and have already been chosen by Walkers Crisps for use in their canteen.

Writedge is Your Zujava Alternative
Another content site is closing its doors. Zujava announced today that as of July 1, it will be no more. In a long blog post, it shared the reasons why it would be closing. Reading forums around the internet, writers don't seem that surprised but are looking for a Zujava alternative.
Writedge is a great option for those looking for an alternative to Zujava. While you can only publish unique content, now is a great time to get your content off the other site. It won't take long for articles to deindex from Google—and you can speed that up by using the deindex tool—and then you can publish on Writedge.
How Much Does Writedge Pay?
Yes, I know you want to know this. At the moment, the pay is $1.5 per 1000 unique views. I know it doesn't sound like much at the moment, but that is ongoing and the income will go up as the site earns more money. The site owners have already promised that; and they keep their promises.
You can also earn through your own affiliate links, making it a great Zujava alternative since it lost its Amazon Affiliate account. You get to keep 100% of the commissions you make on affiliate links. Amazon, Commission Junction and ClickBank are preferred, but there are many other trusted affiliate programs out there that you can use. Zazzle is one of the more popular ones for artistic needs.
Why Writedge as Your Zujava Alternative?
There are so many other sites, so what makes Writedge so popular? After all, what about HubPages, Wizzley and the others?
The first is that the minimum word count is 400 words. While others have that minimum word count, they thrive on much longer articles. I've not made much from the other two without writing at least 800 words. With Writedge, I've earned more and stick to 400-600 words depending on the topic.
Another benefit is the $5 minimum payout. That's the same payout that Zujava offered. Most other sites have a $25-$50 minimum.
As already mentioned, you can use your own affiliate links. Most other sites have a strict limit on the type of links you can include.
What Are the Owners Like?
I know many people will want to know about the Writedge owners. I've read a lot about Zujava owners and the lack of communication. That isn't a problem with Writedge. The owners ask for opinions and listen to writers—they're writers, too, and know how important we are for the site.
There are multiple ways to get in touch with the owners. The editors are also friendly, and will help you create great posts that are likely to make you more money, while sticking to the content guidelines.
You need to remove your content from Zujava, and you might as well post it somewhere that will make you money. Writedge is a great Zujava alternative to consider for your work. I've been here a year now and have no plans to move on.

CHARLESTON,WV - A pair of legislative committees endorsed the idea of a new state prison Tuesday in Charleston.
Now, the West Virginia legislature will decide whether to call for a new 1,200-cell, medium-security prison.
The House and Senate Judiciary committees votes, which were not unanimous, follow the release of a special commission study of inmate overcrowding.
Because West Virginia state prisons are full, more than 2,100 convicted felons are housed in regional jails rather than prisons. That leaves regional jails with more inmates than they were designed to hold.
The Legislature's regular 60-day session begins Wednesday.

Any attention to mass incarceration is welcome in a nation where prison reformers, community groups, advocates from across the political spectrum, major foundations, and many policymakers favor reducing prison incarceration—currently at levels that have no peacetime historical or international precedent.
Yet despite evidence that the U.S. Prison System as a whole may at last have turned away from the annual increases in state prison incarceration that began in the early 1970s, it remains to be seen whether progress toward meaningful reductions will proceed at a pace necessary to have a significant impact on the phenomenon.
The basis for broad-based and deep change in sentencing and corrections practices has not yet emerged.

Massachusetts prisons are rapidly moving into the ranks of the most overcrowded and expensive in the country — and Metrowest facilities are among the biggest offenders. Two "Three Strikes and You're Out" bills passed the Massachusetts House and Senate recently will only make a bad situation worse
MARION, Ohio (AP) — David Kah will report to the same job in the same training kitchen at Ohio's 17-year-old state prison in Marion in January — but much about his life will be changed.
Kah (pronounced KAY) is leaving the public payroll and taking a job with Management & Training Corp., the Centerville, Utah-based prison vendor that takes over operation of North Central Correctional Institution on Saturday. The longtime culinary arts instructor, who's 67, says he'll see significant reductions in pay and vacation days, but he's looking forward to the new operator's plans for his program.

WASHINGTON (AP) — New death sentences in the United States have declined 75 percent from their peak since executions resumed in the 1970s, an anti-capital punishment group reports.
The Death Penalty Information Center said 78 people convicted of murder were sentenced to die so far in 2011, the first time in 35 years there have been fewer than 100 new death sentences.

California - San Quentin State Prison officials presented a $38,232 check Monday to seven Bay Area agencies that provide services to crime victims.
The money represents 20 percent of the wages earned by 30 prison inmates who assemble medical devices, San Quentin State Prison spokesman Sgt. Gabe Walters said.
Each of the seven agencies will receive $5,400.
CORPUS CHRISTI, TEXAS - It's a change that's expected to save the state criminal justice system $2.8 million this year. Texas state inmates and inmates at transfer facilities no longer get three meals a day, every day. Since April they've been getting only brunch and dinner on the weekends, and some inmate's families are fighting back.

Street Food Adventures Chapter 03
Country : Taiwan
Type: Beverage
Name: Bubble Tea / Boba Tea
Bubble Tea aka Boba Tea is one of Taiwanese staples in street food
technically it is a drink. It is so popular that it made its way to a bunch of other countries. People who have never tried them are missing out on something really special. The most common type of bubble tea is Milk tea with large tapioca pearls, but the more popular bubble tea gets, the more varieties of flavour combinations pops up. From fruit teas with pearls to slushies with puddin and jelly.
"Boba" is derived from the Chinese word "large breast" which the Taiwanese nicknamed their large size tapioca pearls after, so if you are ordering the tiny pearls, they are NOT boba. Bubble Tea's name on the other hand originates from the bubbles made when shaking the milk tea, so technically if your tea is not a milk tea and shaken to froth up, it is not a bubble tea. Now you have this knowledge, don't go argue with people when someone calls it boba or bubble tea, it doesn't really matter, what matters is that the drink is oh-so-good.
We've decided to make this recipe from scratch, just so people with no means of obtaining tapioca pearls can make them at home and give it a try but mostly because I think dry pearls cook really badly, it is easy to undercook or overcook the store-bought pearls which will result in an average beverage and leaving you wondering why your pearls is never as good as the ones your get at the bubble tea shop. One more additional perk of making it from scratch is knowing what goes into your food :)
Below are a few links that helps us out along the way to explore more of the world and for you guys to have some easy access to recreate what we have tried here :)

|Taro Powder

2. Remove tea bag from tea
3. In a cocktail shaker/mason jar, add ice 3/4 of the way
4. Add the half and half, sugar syrup and brewed tea into the ice
5. Shake the tea until the tea is thoroughly chilled, you can feel it from the shaker
6. In a glass, add 1/3 of pearls into the bottom and add a couple cubes of ices, strain the chilled drink on to it and serve it with a thick straw.
1. Steep the green tea bags into 80g of hot water for 2.5 minutes
2. Remove tea bag from tea
3. Dissolve the taro powder in 80g of hot water
4. In a cocktail shaker/mason jar, add ice 3/4 of the way
5. Add the half and half, brewed tea and taro mixture into the ice
6. Shake the tea until the tea is thoroughly chilled, you can feel it from the shaker
7. In a glass, add 1/3 of pearls into the bottom and add a couple cubes of ices, strain the chilled drink on to it and serve it with a thick straw.
I. Tapioca pearls will go hard if it is refrigerated so it is best to consume on the day it is cooked but you can store uncooked pearls in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 3 months. Cook it straight out of the freezer, do not defrost
II. If dough is too dry and cracking, add a little room temp water, if too sticky add tapioca starch
III. Every large Boba straws come in a slight variation in size, so make sure to roll it according to your straw size to prevent it from getting stuck
IV. The more you tumble the pearls the rounder it gets, so I usually shape my pearls with a quick pinching motion to round the corners and let the tumbling do it's work to make it round. It saves a lot of time this way
V. Our cocktail shaker is small so we did the shaking in 2 batches
VI. Simple syrup quantities are just for reference, adjust the sweetness to your liking
VII. If you want real taro in your drink, dice a peeled purple taro root, around the size of the straw, and steam it until a fork sticks through it. Add it in with the pearls in the bottom of the glass
VIII. For the earl grey tea, add pearls, egg pudding and grass jelly to make Gong Chas signature combo
Hope you guys enjoy this weeks [How To's]
See you next week :)

Just the other day you packed up your belongings. I found you asleep, surrounded by your suitcases. I glanced at the boxes and clear plastic bins filled with your toiletries and school supplies.
I listened as you sang Jesus songs and yelled at the kneading cats.
Just the other day you packed up the car, fit everything just so.
Just the other day, I keyed the ignition to drive you towards your destiny while contemplating the cutting of our unseen cord: you, away from me.
But I can't let it show.
I can't fathom a heavenly King loves you better than I, that He'll command angels concerning you faster than the whisper of a prayer.
I won't understand the depth of His protection or how He'll grace your footsteps.
Blank pages of your life story await. You're about to pen a chapter not yet written, filled with details, adventure, and awe.
You'll find 'just-right' friends to divulge secrets to. You'll feel the scorpion sting of fair-weather friends. But this is good, because it can only lead you towards true friends who love unconditionally, ones you'll keep forever.
Daughter of mine, the faith you've tucked into your heart will be challenged and ridiculed by lofty and arrogant ideas. Ones formulated by finite minds and appealing philosophies.
You'll be overwhelmed with academic requisites, but the exhilaration which comes with learning will far outweigh the workload.
And so, I pray the seeds of unseen faith will root deep when passionate ideals try to entrap you.
Many a Romeo will offer your hungry skin what's delectable, but to fall into sin is to awaken to a heavy cloak of shame—daughter, your body and heart are worth far much more than fleeting moments.
May the Spirit of wisdom hover and whisper deep into your soul when you're weak-willed and emotionally-hungry, yearning for what's familiar.
Carnal and fallible will sometimes try to override what's righteous, pure and true inside of you.
Daughter, will you cling to what is good?
Even so, foolish choices will sometimes be made.
Beautiful one, I made them too.
This is when you'll realize:
Prudence is a golden, blessed key which unlocks sensible doors of peace and integrity.
I can only pray you'll cling to the infinite truth which longs for the fidelity of your youth.
Daughter of mine, the cord which tied us together will shrivel and fall away.
You are growing exponentially—in all facets of life—I must understand this is part of life.
You'll flourish into womanhood and become lovelier.
You'll grow intellectually and be challenged by wonderful professors.
One teacher will steal your heart and earn your utmost respect and just like that, your life calling will fall into perfect place.
Right now, your empty bedroom holds the echo of your exuberance…traces of your laughter remain. A small pile of dirty laundry carries the essence of who you are and I don't care to wash it.
Daughter of mine, I'm struggling.
But you? You are ready.
Your heart.
Your mind.
Your spirit and soul.
The inner and outer of what makes you beautifully you, is ready.
The days will shorten. Leaves will crinkle and turn mahogany brown. Ice wind will whip around my ankles and try to haunt my heart with the loneliness of not seeing or hearing you or holding you.
Daughter of mine.
I must trust that the King who holds my heart …
will simultaneously hold your hand.

I was listening to a recent NPR podcast of the show "All Songs Considered" with Bob Boilen in which a panel of Generation X and Y-ers talked about how music-and what specific music-defined their respective, and the current, generations (The Sound of a Generation). They ended the show with a song by Okkervil River called "Plus One," which name drops a good number of popular song lyric references. This got me thinking about other similar songs, such as Jimmy Eat World's "A Praise Chorus," and the WFUV's radio show, Mixed Bag, which occasionally themes entire shows after songs that name drop pop culture and otherwise. And to be quite honest, this happens very often. Sometimes it's a stolen riff, a beat, or just straight out referencing your predecessors or contemporaries.
The point I'm trying to get at is that pop culture informs itself. Pop culture is one meta-idea encompassing all music (yes, all music), films, reality TV, comic books, mass market paperbacks, literature, all of it. And none of it would exist without the rest of it. Everything is symbiotic and interwoven. Weezer jabs fun at the youtube "culture" as it were with a music video referencing America's favorite web-video-follies. Pop-writers like Nick Hornby write books such as High Fidelity, which truly only exists because of the music that makes up its heart, which feeds into the film industry, which then makes the music more popular through its soundtrack and so on. Even the TV show "American Idol," which I refuse to watch and abhor for its superficial harvesting of "talent"--that show feeds into this idea too. If little miss pop-star covers a Simon & Garfunkel hit on her segment, maybe downloads and sales will spike a bit that week. The same goes for any artist subjected to a very strong spotlight in an unusual venue. Largehearted Boy, a music blog favorite of mine, has a regular feature entitled Book Notes, in which authors discuss music that was important to them while writing their latest work.
As a musician and also a writer, I find this meta-culture truly intriguing. I suppose it calls the ago old question of "What is Art" into play. Everything is granted an equal playing field when it is in the present moment. Record albums pressed on weighty 180g vinyl are consumed parallel to ringtones bought off of iTunes; books are sold in pulp and digital form. It's hard to exist and thrive in such a multi-faceted arena. There are just so many options that it becomes overwhelming. With the realization of the internet as a truly level playing field for all creative artists, it becomes more a matter of the discretion of the consumer to decide what is quality. I think that this puts us in a very different place than music lovers or bookworms of our parents' generation (spoonfed only by Rolling Stone magazine and the NYT Book Review).
This was just rambling of a bunch of ideas that the "All Songs Considered" show put into my head that I wanted to get down, no matter how many times and ways they've been said before. I recently picked up a retrospective of Lester Bangs' work (who, by the way, I didn't know was a real person until 2 years after seeing Almost Famous for the first time) and felt the need to get some words down. Even music journalism has been brought down to a level playing field, because I can just easily buy a copy of Paste magazine as I can pull up Pitchfork Media in my web browser (or someone could pull up MY blog for that matter). If anyone does happen to read this, chime in and give me some specific talking points. This whole idea of the interconnectedness of pop culture is just too large of an idea to take on at once.

The Siwa Team
Somewhere Different is a family run business. Penny and I design and build the villas and once they are up and running, build a team of locals to provide the level or service we would expect for ourselves if we were renting the Villa. As the Siwa Villa was our first project to go live, we spent over a year training the new staff insuring the level of service we want was established and everything runs as well as it possibly can.
We have purposely tried to build a team of people that are very reliable and enthusiastic about what they do yet at the same time not over keen and who will let you get on with your holiday without them fussing and constantly asking you if everything is OK.
We have produced a little profile on each member of the team that you can view from the links above.
When we take off on our tours around Egypt, we have several people in different locations that help us provide the Somewhere Different experience we want for our guest. With out our extended team we would not be able to gain the same access to services and peoples homes as we do here in Siwa.

"It's magic Andy – just played it through the Kemper!!"
Many thanks,
"Cheers Andy it arrived this morning and is gracing on one of my jazzmasters. Thank for a speedy service and delivery.

Hi Andrew,
Many thanks for being so kind to Sandra and myself. We had a great time and loved your shop. Wow – the guitar! I have not been able to put it down, it's fab! I have enjoyed it so much, the serial no is 15155. Thank you for your kindness.
All the best,"

All the best
"Thanks Andy, the guitar is great."
Best wishes

The Fire Bottle arrived safe and sound. It's pretty amazing!"
Just a belated thank-you for the excellent repair to the scratchplate on my D'Aquisto – lovely job. Very fortunate that my son, Gavin, caught you in on a Saturday.
Afraid I was working away last week and didn't get chance to get back to you."
Thanks again,
PS You should have charged more!
"Been plugged in for the last 20 minutes and the strat plays like butter, brilliant service thanks again Nige (elite strat)"

"Andy, just a note to say that the guitar played so much better last night.
Many thanks for helping to sort it. Hope to see you again next time."
My best,
"Hi Andy,
Thanks for the work on the Les Paul. The pots and the cap change have made a big difference to the sound."

Just arrived.

"Hi Andy
I've just recieved the compressor, and I couldn't be happier. It's simply perfect!
I just wanted to thank you for your great customer service, and the fast delivery.
Thank you."
Best Regards

My guitar sounds fantastic; just how it should. Many thanks for sorting it out and coming over last night to let me pick it up."
"Hi Andy,
You've done a beautiful job.
Many thanks indeed."
Kind regards,
"Hi Andy,
Just wanted to say thanks for your service on the Rickenbacker. Arrived exactly when you said it did, and its a beauty! Gigged it last night and my guitarist (who is a hard man to impress) said my bass sound was the best its ever been. Sounded great through the old calssic Ampeg SVT setup.
Thanks once again, I do pop up to Nottingham here and there (mum's side of the family all grew up there) so when I do ill pop in and say hi."
"Hi Andy.
The guitar arrived today ! No problem during shipping, top packaging.
I love this Les Paul, that is just like you told me. Nice vintage player look and sounds good.
Thanks for all."
Best regards
"Hi Andy,
Received in perfect condition – many thanks again'"
What a difference a good set up, and pot and wiring change makes.
You've done a great job, fantastic work again the tele sounds fantastic.
Many thanks!"
Through a deft combination of experienced handiwork – and faith in room-temperature – you brought my warp-necked Mexican Fender Jazz bass back to life. I thought I'd lost her – you felt differently! Thank you so much for your efforts. The set-up and action are better than they have ever been.
"Hi Andy,
Thank you very much for your mail and advice.
The amp arrived yesterday in the morning, so I found it when I came back home late in the evening, which was a very good welcome!
I understood quickly why you wouldn't reopen the package to put the soft cover in: it was really a laborious and time-consuming packaging! And a great job too, since the Cornell arrived in perfect condition.
I unpacked it an tested it for some minutes yesterday (too late for making noises) and then early this morning. And as soon as I finish writing you I will get down to business for two or three hours.
I was important to read some of the instructions in the manual. the amp sounds wonderfully and there is a lot of work to do with it to discover its full capabilities. On the top of that, it is a beautiful piece of work indeed.
I will also write to Denis Cornell to thank him.
Thank you again for everything, Andy, it has been a real pleasure dealing with you.
All the best,"
"After some time studying information about some thirty boutique amps I finally decided to get a Romany 12.
I bought it from Andy Avison. It was a pleasure to deal with him. He gave me all the information I needed, he sent me your last design he had just received (and I guess he had two ancient models on stock), changed the mains lead so I could use it here in Spain, included a soft cover, his price was better than the rest.. it was a very fine purchasing experience.
The amp arrived last Friday and yesterday I could use it for some hours. I know I still have a lot to learn about its possibilities but I would like to let you know I love the clean crystal-clear sound it has.I also tried on it my only pedal, a Durham Electronics Mucho Boosto. With the C power output ant the pedal gain cranked, the distorted sound I got was lovely: I always had distorted sounds that I found strident (I don't know if in English the meaning is exactly the same as it is in Spanish) and the Romany gave me a compact, thick and at the same time sweet subtle sound I had dreamt about for years and thought it was not possible to get directly from an amp (most of what I know about tone I learnt during this recent process of browsing through all these fine amps).
I think the Eq switch is much better than a pull/push volume knob and I'm very glad I have it. On top of it all, the design of your amp is really a beatiful thing, and Andy is right, I find myself often staring at this nice leather handle…
I don't want to get too long and boring. I expect to get a lot of learning and pleasure from the fruits of your nice work.
Best regards,"
Great work, everyone is pleased I have two more guitars to drop off when I am next down in Nottingham.
"Hi Andy,
Just to say that the Mastery bridge arrived yesterday (I missed the delivery but the nice man at the post office let me prise it from their grasp without waiting the required 24 hours).
It's all installed & setup and ticks all the boxes, and sounds very well-rounded with a lot of sustain. It must have knocked about half a pound off the weight of the guitar to boot! What a superb bit of kit.
Your service is equally superb; many thanks for the fastest dispatch & delivery I've encountered.
Thanks again!"
"Hi Andy,
Just wanted to thank you for the work you've done on my Les Paul. She's playing great!
All the best"
"Hello Andy,
The bridge arrived on Friday. I'm very happy. Many thanks!"
"Andy thank you. I'll send you a music! Spend a good time in your beautiful store."
"Hi Andy
it was good to see you today. The re-fret and lacquer look great."
Thanks again, and all the best,
"Thanks Andy,
Arrived this morning – great service!!!
Best wishes"
"Thanks for the work you've done on my guitar Andy, so much easier to play and sounds great!
"About as good as it gets on reverb or anywhere else! If i could do ten stars I would. Thank you!"
Greg Noseworthy
"Hi Andy
Just a quick message to say thanks in regards to purchasing the 1997 Gibson Les Paul off you today, top quality guitar at such a great price and sounds awesome driven through my Orange valve amp . I just want to add that your shop has such a relaxed atmosphere without the usual sell sell sell bollocks that other guitar shops seem to push on you, so thanks again and iI'll be popping in again in the near future to hopefully pay you guys to have my Strat set up .
Kind regards"
"Hi Andy,
The acoustic sounds great and the set up is spot on, played it so much my hand is hurting.
Thanks again Andy."
"Thanks for that Andy,
That was the sort of sentiment I picked up from the web when I was looking for info on them. I knew there was something a bit special about it as soon as I played it. Played for a few minutes when I got home and couldn't get the smile off my face!
Thanks again for finding such great guitars.
All the best"
"Hi Andy,
Thanks for the invoice and for your time in helping me get the right amp for me. I've had a chance to play it at home much of this afternoon and it sounds cracking. With a bit of pickup height adjustment all my guitars seem to work really well with it. Still not sure quite what makes this little monster so magical but it absolutely sings – it seems like every note just can't wait to jump out from the speaker!
Kind regards"
Just a mail to say thanks, guitar is playing like a dream. Unlike it's owner!
Great job and thanks again."
Quick note to say great to meet you today, and thanks for all your help with the guitar. It is really great and I am enjoying playing it a lot!
Once again thanks, much appreciated."
"Hi Andy
Just to say thanks so very much, Deacon is amazing, sounds a lot different to the Breadwinner. Thanks again for helping me with my wish list. Also nice to meet at last.
Cheers again"
A quick note to say thank you for looking after my guitars.
I am particularly delighted to get the acoustic back. I feel like I have a mate back in my life!
"Many thanks Andy.
Great service indeed. Have a good weekend when you get to it.
"Hi Andy,
The Bridge arrived on Wednesday. WoW, that was very quick.Installing it was a piece of cake.
The only problem was that the wider post – supposed to fit Japanese guitars – were too wide. The narrow ones fit perfect.
Oh, and I need to file hex key for intonating because in this guitar there is not much space between Bridge and Bigsby. Now the guitar resonates like a dream! Incredible upgrade. Thanks for your support!
"After my Peavey Classic 30 blew at practice to the point of no return, it was new amp time. Thankfully, Andy was able to help me out and supplied me with a Cornell Plexi 7.
Sure, its 23 watts quieter than my peavey in numerical terms, but the real-world volume – and most importantly TONE – was out of this world.
Rich, precise bottom end and sparkling highs, with a pronounced middle, the Plexi is not only the sound I've been endlessly searching for, but also the amp that I don't think I could ever part with!
Two gigs in and the amp has received plenty of praise for just how good it sounds."
Joshua Hall
"Hi Andy
I have now finally had the guitar delivered and I'm more than happy. I feel so comfortable with this model – nice flat fingerboard, a bit thicker (and lighter) than a 335 but not as thick as a 175.
I'll try to fade the red a bit in sunlight – it's too red, but that's the only thing that is not absolutely perfect. You packed really well and that strip of wood is genius – only thing you could think of for the future is that the stringholder on a jazzbox isn't firmly attached, so it was actually loose in the case. Nothing has happened but it could possibly have cracked a control or scraped the top, if the box had been thrown about carelessly.
Once again
Thank You"
"This amp is absolutely awesome. The best I've ever had and I've had Marshall, Peavey (EVH 5150), Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier half stack, Lpnestar 2×12 combo, Boogie Tremoverb 2×12 combo …….. the list goes on and on ….. Think I have found the holy grail of amplifiers. Please pass on my best regards to Denis Cornell. This is absolutely spot on drop dead gorgeous tone.
Can you tell I like it?"
Kenneth Stephen Kowalski
"Hi Andy
Thanks for the work on the strat, sounds and feels amazing!
With thanks"
"Hi Andy.
I just wanted to let you know that i'm still happy with the guitar and that i'm keeping it.
I want to say thank you for the deal, and for being very communicative. I'll make sure to drop by your facebook page and say something nice.
Cheers, and merry Christmas"
"Thanks Andy.
Nice to meet you last week. Really pleased with the Cornell – great amp.
Kind regards"
"Hi Andy,
Just want to thank you again for setting up my strat. Since you've sorted it out I literally can't put it down its a completely different instrument so thank you. May have to bring my other gear down to you!"
"Good Morning Andy,
Just a message to confirm my M2 Mastery Bridge has arrived.
What a thing of beauty it is. Great engineering as well.
Now off to fit it to Jazzmaster.
Thanks for the picks and your advice
I will keep an eye on your website.
Thanks again"
"Hi Andy,
Had a chance to give the Strat a good workout this evening at rehearsal and very impressed with the work you did. The neck feels great, the action is perfect and it's playing and sounding great. Many thanks."
"Hi Andy,
Thanks for the work on the strat , you've done a great job."
"Hi Andy,
Guitar arrived safe and well yesterday morning, it sounds good and plays great, very happy! And thanks for the strings!
Many thanks"
"Hi Andy,
BIG thank for sorting my guitar out with the new picks ups, the work really well. Massive difference. I don't even need to use the noise gate anymore.
Thanks again"
"Hello Andy,
First, sorry for my English: I'm French, nobody is perfect.
Last week I ordered (on Reverb.com) a Fredric Effects Golden Eagle coming from your store. I just received it this morning and plugged it. I don't know how they do, at Fredric Effects, but I already have their Green Russian Muff, and all I can say is that both of them are very very good on their own, very very good together, and very very good with all my others pedals. Furthermore, compared to other similar quality gear, their prices are gifts.
For an unknown reason of my bad technology knowledge, I can't access to their website, and I'm not on Facebook. So I can't congratulate them and thank them. If you could do it for me, it would be very nice of you. Otherwise it does not matter.
Anyway, I want to thank you first for sending the Golden Eagle, which arrived in perfect condition and works perfectly well. I'm very satisfied about this purchase.
Congratulations too for your website, which is very well done, simple, aesthetic, with many interesting things, (for example your blog, but unfortunately I do not read easily English).
Thank you too for your card, and for the Nottingham City Guitars pick.
Really with my best regards"
Michel Wichegrod
"Hi Andy,
The Golden Eagle pedal arrived safely this morning. Looking forward to gigging with it on Saturday.
Thanks for your help!"
"Thanks Andy, its just arrived.
The Mastery Bridge.. Its a thing of beauty"
"Hi Andy,
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the work done! The guitar hasn't sounded so good in the entire time I've owned it! Cannot thank you enough.
Really grateful for the volume dial too! Hadn't thought to ask.
Thanks again man!"
"Dear Andy,
Guild arrived safe and sound. Thanks for the extras most generous. Very very pleased it sounds awesome, again thanks very much."
"Hi Andy
Univibe. I'm keeping it! Awesome sound."
"Hi Andy,
String tree arrived the next day after the order.
Thank you so much for the fantastic service.
Hopefully I'll be in touch with another order soon!
"Hi Andy,
The guitar arrived yesterday, it was a lightning fast shipment! The packaging was exceptional, better than any other guitars I have ever bought from anywhere in the world.
I must say, this piece is absolutely gorgeous! The case obviously has seen better days, but who cares, it looks really authentic and does its job.
The guitar itself is simply perfect. The body, the neck, the frets, binding, headstock, pegs, etc. are absolutely fine. It must have had a very caring owner, and I suppose you also did some refreshment in your shop as well…Setup could not be better for me, action is low, intonation is perfect, even the strings would last for a while. Knowing this is a little older piece than I am (I'm 45 now), well I must admit it is in far better condition than me J.
Anyway thanks again for your assistance in this business, it was really my pleasure. I'll keep checking your shop, maybe some other lovely thing comes up in the future."
"Hi Andy,
Just wanted to say didn't have time to try my guitar (Gordon Smith) in the shop Saturday but you have done a brilliant job. Why I didn't get it set up professionally years ago I will never know. Its like a completely different instrument."
John Shepherd
"Sorry I'm bit late with this email, just a quick word to say thank you for the great service and mugs of tea.
And also like to make a point of highly recommending Cornell guitar amps, for many years I hoped to try Dennis Cornell's amps. And as soon as I saw that Nottingham City Guitars stocked them, I tried them. I now have a Romany Plus and the new Vintage Brown, both stunningly made and great sounding valve amps. You could think that his amps are expensive, when you can buy valve amps cheaper.
Most valve guitar amps are printed circuit boards cheap to make and not the best things to repair.
Cornell amps are point to point, expensive to make and easier to repair.
I have spoken to Dennis Cornell and I'm convinced he makes his amps to leave a legacy not just to make a living. So if you are in the market for a new guitar amp, give Cornell amps a go.
Thanks again Andy."
"Have had my Guitar back a day now after having had work done having a Parsons Green B Bender fitted, and I have only one word to describe the work done, the playability, and most amazingly all the issues that people warned me about such as tuning, snapping strings, noises from the unit itself, I HAVE NONE of those problems at all, I can Bend and bend as much as I want, 2 hours nearly this morning, One word AWESOME. I love it. Thank You so much Andy At Nottingham City Guitars. Your work is amazing, your setups amazing. Thank you so much!"
"Just wanted to say thanks again for the work you did on my Tele now I have had chance to play it more. I am very happy with the feel and the look of the instrument, and enjoying playing it a lot. With best regards,"
"Got my the guitar home last night and couldn't put it down. You have done an exceptional job in upgrading an already good guitar and taking it to another level. Your pinpoint accuracy in fitting the new Bigsby tremolo is absolute stunning. You are a true craftsman with a great eye for detail. I hope this demonstrates to all the Bigsby chickens or sceptics out there that when the trem is fitted properly it's a stable as any hard tail guitar. Thank you once again for a great job and more important outstanding customer service which is a rare commodity in this world of mediocrity."

"Hi Andy, got everything sorted! I'm really pleased with the products, many thanks."
"Andy thanks so much for the E333 she's a beauty – cheers for the beers too."
"It's a pleasure doing business with you. All the best."
I wanted to drop you a line about my Joe Pass – I have no idea how you've done it but you've transformed an ugly duckling into a sublime swan. I've spent the best 4 or 5 hours with a guitar I've had in a long time this evening, it's that good!
It's great to know I've got someone I can trust with my guitars on my doorstep!
Thanks again"
"Hi Andy, got everything sorted! I'm really pleased with the Mastery Bridge products, many thanks,"
"Hello Andy,
Just wanted to say thank you, what an extraordinary difference a millimetre can make! I've done six gigs (including a two-hour slot yesterday) since collecting my guitar from you and it feels and plays like a different instrument, AND amazingly I haven't broken a single string. Very happy indeed."
Cheers, Paul
"Hi Andy,
I was going to email you today and say thanks,
I've given the Strat a good go and it looks and plays great, well worth investing the time and money to get the original parts as well as the hard work from you to bring it back to it's original glory, really happy and a huge transformation from what arrived on my doorstep a couple of months ago!"
"Hi Andy,
The Gretsch sounds and plays great thank you, very pleased with it.
I'll be back in with that other one."
"Hi Andy, Howard Rose here. Just a few lines to say a very big thank you for the guitar. It is absolutely splendid, made a big positive difference to my life. Also read your latest blog, you are quite a talent."
Thanks again
"Just sending you an email to say thanks for the great service you gave me.
The amp is sounding great,and is getting better as it gets more played in.
I had some problems with my pedal board at first Squashing the tone of the amp , but I have resolved that problem.
I see your stocking Coopersonic pedals, I have two on my pedal board they are a quality product.
I hope to get to your shop on the last Friday of the month to check out their fuzz pedals.
Gigging the amp this weekend for the first time."
"Hi Andy,
Fitted the bridge to my Fender Jaguar MIJ the day after I bought it, so I've given it a good play before making a final judgement. I have to say it's done everything the makers claim.
All the buzzing, rattles, string popping etc are cured at a stroke but it definitely adds more life to the sound without changing the jaguar's personality.
I'd most definitely recommend any jaguar/jazzmaster player to fit this bridge, they won't regret it.
By the way, although my guitar is Japanese made, the american size posts fitted it not the over-sized ones intended for MIJ guitars !!!"
"I popped in yesterday for the Mastery M1!
I got it straight in with no problems and the intonation was almost perfectly set straight away. It has improved the guitar for sure! It's much more resonant and is seeming even more stable than before. It's incredible, I just cant believe it! It's made beautifully too, so positive all round!
Cheers for the help and the chat yesterday, really liked the shop! Hopefully be back for something soon."
#FF @nottmguitars simply the finest #guitar shop in the East Midlands and possibly the world…. #fact #RockNRoll

Hi Andy, just thought I'd write and thank you for all of your help with my recent transactions.
Firstly let me say what an interesting shop you have……not stocked with the usual rubbish that one see's in most guitar shops.
The Cornell Romany Plus I bought is an absolute joy to use and fits my needs perfectly, it's nice to find a handmade guitar amp made in the UK with an american flavour……highly recommended.
I also bought a used Fender Princeton re-issue amp as a bit of a project (nothing at all wrong with the amp) I just want to do a hardwood cabinet…..and this amp was sold at a very very reasonable price.
Lastly I purchased an EMG DG20 (David Gilmore) active pickup loaded pick guard for a strat……this has completely transformed my existing Strat (which I was considering parting with prior to the purchase) and the Strat is now destined to remain in my guitar collection.
I've travelled down from Manchester twice to your Nottingham shop, and on both occasions I was immediately offered a cup of tea after my journey, this may not seem a lot to most people but your hospitality in these days of guitar superstores is refreshing…..as was the tea!!!
I look forward to more excellent deals in the future and the 2 1/2 hour journey that I will make to get there should prove, that you have now got another loyal customer.
All the best for 2015 and I hope that your business goes from strength to strength…..it deserves to!!!
Kindest Regards……MarkW
"Thank you @nottmguitars for giving my 1967 Martin D35 some much needed #TLC"
"Hi. This is Tony Foster guitarist with NWOBHM band Sparta. During a recent rehersal I accidentally dropped my 1972 Gibson SG deluxe. Gutted was not the word. I thought RIP Gipson. But I contacted Andy Avison at Nottingham City Guitars . He was able to fix the break and set up the guitar from scratch again. I cant tell the difference. Great work from a very skilled guitar repairer. I would recommend this guy to anyone who wants a guitar repair. Alchemy in action."
"My latest #fender #guitar is a thing of beauty sourced from and set up exquisitely by @nottmguitars"
"Thanks to Nottingham City Guitars for picking up my Fender Squire-Strat & Falcon Guitars for set-ups. Much appreciated"
"Cheers Andy, I will get another bridge at some point soon… I'll let you know when. Thanks again for the work you've done, it plays 100 times better!"
"Hi Andy. Been meaning to call into your shop but have been a bit busy just lately. I wanted to thank you for all the advice and time you've given me. Because of you I'd gone from thinking about buying the Baja, to a Standard and then after seeing your Deluxe and listening to you, to buying one and it plays beautifully. I continue to tell all my friends and people that I meet that Nottingham City Guitars is the best Guitar shop around and I will hopefully be in myself some time soon for strings and any other stuff that I need. Thanks again for all your help."
"Thanks very much for this, and for your great service the last couple of days: it's much appreciated. I got home yesterday and played my guitar for about 5 hours without stopping, the amp really is fantastic, way better than anything I had in mind, and worth the money. Have a beer on me sometime over the weekend: I really like what you're doing with the shop, I wish you the very best of luck with it."
"I recently bought a vintage fender amp from Andy Avison at nottingham city guitars. Not only was the amp exactly as i expected to find it from the online description: properly serviced and set up, but the simple blend of personal professional knowledge, good business style and friendly atmosphere was very welcome. Overall a very positive experience within the cut and thrust of the vintage market."
"Thanks for the Blueshawk, its finally arrived safe and sound here in Crete. The packaging ??? I'm glad that we don't spend Christmas at your place, it must have taken me all of ten minutes to get to the guitar but it certainly did the job thanks."

I just committed to walking up 1,776 steps in April. That's 144 flights of stairs. Not only am I walking up 144 flights of stairs, I'm doing it at 6 o'freaking clock on a Saturday morning.
This is for the WWF's CN Tower Climb. If you feel like sponsoring this insanity, you can visit my sponsor page.
"WHY", you ask? Yesterday evening, I was supposed to go to Muay Thai kickboxing for the first time with a friend, but she was sick. I was terrified to go alone, so I decided to check out the new 7pm Intro to Pilates class at my yoga studio. When I arrived, I was told that the class required pre-registration and had been cancelled due to lack of interest (likely because their website mentioned nothing about pre-registration). I decided I would go to the gym in my building and run on the treadmill, but all of the treadmills were taken and had at least 30+ minutes left on the timer. Feeling frustrated and a little depressed, I went home. As I was walking up the stairs, I impulsively skipped my floor and walked up to the top of the building (7 floors). I went back down and did it again, 4 more times, for a total of 35 flights of stairs.
Stairs are freaking hard. My friend Susan has been writing about her amazing stairs progress on the Thousand Steps Beach in California, so as I was trying to catch my breath after my 35th flight of stairs and thinking about sliding back down to my apartment on my butt because my legs were so shaky, I started wondering if there was a cool place in Toronto where I could go to walk up stairs. You know, for fun. Because feeling my legs get all wobbly and my calves get all crampy is what I consider a jolly good time.
I started googling, and found the CN Tower Climb. The CN Tower is 1,815.4 ft high, and has 1,776 steps (or 144 flights of stairs) to the top. "I just did 35 flights of stairs and I only almost died," I thought. CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. Now I have to do it; they have my 25 bucks, I've blogged about it, there's no going back now!
Overall, I've been doing really well. I'm on Week 6 of my Fitbit training plan (which is basically just, "do more stuff"). In fact, I've been killing it:
Here's my chart from last week:
Wait, what?
If you recall, when I started out, just 6 weeks ago, I was in the 14.7th percentile. It told me I was sedentary. Now I'm considered active, and only 5% of female FitBit users in my age group are more active than me.
Considering that just 2 months ago, I couldn't stay awake for an entire day, I needed naps every time I got off the couch to do something, and I was irritable and depressed and unmotivated, I feel pretty amazing.
Amazing enough to walk up 144 flights of stairs? I guess we'll see.

N's Brother died last night, and there is both sorrow and relief for N and his sister. Grief because he will not be around to lend his humor and insight with us, and relief that he passed quietly and with no pain, after so long. DH cannot go to KY without an 8 hour drive, but knows his back will take only so much, even sitting while DS drives. To fly takes even longer, as the routes are anything but straight forward; for example, there are 4 plane changes. DH turned 70 last month, and feels especially sad that his brother didn't make it that far.
This is a substitute for my bumper sticker for the day, as I am dieting and not getting anywhere. I see my GP doctor next week.


text: I am going out of town this week for the Region 8 Gymnastics Congress and in order to make sure my poor husband doesn't survive by eating Ramen noodles and PB and J sandwiches I always try to make something he can eat on for a few days while I am away. This time I decided to do breakfast. I used to make this when I used to eat eggs and have wanted to try it Vegan for some time now. This is the super yummy result of this! Breakfast Casserole

Even though wooden garage doors have many more fans, metal doors also have their good amount of fans since they are inexpensive and durable. They don't rust easily, especially the aluminum.

Hoboken Aluminum Garage Doors | Metal Doors Resist Bad Weather
If your house is located close to the coast or hurricanes strike often your neighborhood; metal doors, especially steel ones, should be your only option because they can resist to strong winds. Of course, the more money you will spend the most durable and resistant against elements they will be.
That doesn't mean wood doors have too many disadvantages. Manufacturers have improved significantly the elaboration of wood and they have introduced many new coatings for their protection. But the truth is that wooden doors require more maintenance. If you have wooden garage doors, you must refresh their painting often and be alert of mold signs if you live in an area of high humidity.
Hoboken Aluminum Garage Doors | Wood Doors "Look Better"
Wood is better than the other materials in terms of aesthetics. You might need to pay some extra money for its maintenance, but the installation of a wooden door would mean that your property's value will increase extraordinary.

I have had psoriasis for 50 years and psoriatic arthritis for the past 25 years. I have been very committed to advocating for myself and others like me. I just recently came back from Boston, Massachusetts after being on a panel with Jerry Mathers of Leave It to Beaver. I have several other meetings lined up for 2017, one of which includes going to Capitol Hill to be heard.
It is good to let others know how it feels to live with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis.
I have had my shares of ups and downs. This disease has changed my whole life. I can't even imagine what it would feel like to have clear skin or be pain free. This is a distant dream that I hope one day will come true. I can only imagine what my parents had to endure with my having this disease since I was a young girl. I can only imagine the pain they had to go through to keep me safe and happy.
I made up my mind over 12 years ago not to feel sorry for myself.
I knew I had to do something to help myself. I started a support group, I attended Town Hall meetings, conferences, spoke on Capitol Hill and attend some speaking engagements. I know that one day we will find a cure for this disease or at least help to find a cure. I have educated myself enough to be able to speak to people in the medical field and other organizations.
Everyone needs to know that there are people out there who care about us.
We all want to get more information and to find out what makes us tick and why did this happen to us in the first place. We need to be empowered and be an encouragement to others; we are not victims. It is good that others want to hear what the patients have to say; the FDA is listening to us and cares about what we have to say. This is amazing!
It is so important to attend as many meetings and events about psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, in order to speak up about our disease. We need to have a voice in our treatment and care.

Following on from the outstanding success for the LOWA Zephyr models in law enforcement and Special Forces in the US and Europe it was decided to develop a more stable and supportive style. This to complete the selection as a link between the rugged board lasted models (like Combat, Mountain and Elite Desert etc.) and the more multifunctional models (like Zephyrs and Renegades). The military forces from many countries were asking for this type of "hybrid" to better suit their contemporary operational requirements including colours more aligned with changes in uniform.
The target was to have a lightweight but stable boot which offers walking comfort like a light hiker but the support and protection of a heavy duty backpacking boot
The Z–SERIES has arrived and it would appear that it will satisfy all those criteria and more. It will suit a broad range of military activities as well as police and security patrols.
At last very versatile comfortable lighter weight boots with virtually all the attributes of their more serious and traditional forbears.
They are rugged multi-function boots designed for demanding missions, while carrying heavy packs over varied and extreme terrain.
TWO HEIGHTS: The "Z" models come in two heights: "Z8" which is 8" (200mm) total at the Achilles and "Z6" being 6" (150mm).
BOOT CARE: These boots require good care especially those made with split leather. Whilst the leather is hydrophobic split leather takes up water more readily than full grain or nubuck. It is important therefore to apply our LOWA Waterstop and Active Crème generously to them to avoid the leather from drying out and becoming boardy. Love them now and they will reward you with comfort and performance.

Attorney General Buddy Caldwell's office on Wednesday accused an attorney for Orleans Parish Juvenile Court Judge Yolanda King of spewing "a stream of unsupported falsehoods clearly meant to distract the court and the public from the evidence" that King lied about where she lived when she qualified to run for her seat last year.
Assistant Attorney General Sonceree Smith Clark argued that attorney Clarence Roby Jr. should be held in contempt and penalized for alleging prosecutorial misconduct that he said was motivated by a desire to exact political revenge.
Roby did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
But last week, he cried foul in a motion to throw out the March 20 indictment that accuses King of filing a false public record and violating the state election code. Roby argued in the motion that prosecutors violated rules on grand jury secrecy, citing a response he received from Caldwell's office to a question about who was present in the grand jury room.
Roby also questioned whether Caldwell's office even has the authority to prosecute the case against King, who is accused of listing a New Orleans domicile on a candidate affidavit when she really lived at a house she owns in Slidell.
He cited a recusal letter from District Attorney Leon Cannizzaro's office that was not sent until April 11, 2014, three weeks after the indictment.
Cannizzaro endorsed King's runoff opponent, former Jefferson Parish prosecutor Doug Hammel, in the May 2013 election, and he has said that's why his office stepped back from the case.
In a six-page response Wednesday, Clark called Roby's allegations "completely baseless, without merit, and nothing more than an attempt to cast aspersions upon another officer of the court."
Roby appeared to be responding to a statement from Clark, provided to King's defense, that mentioned a case presented to the same grand jury "prior to (Clark's) presentation" of the King matter.
Nothing in the documents Roby received indicated that a local prosecutor was still in the room when the indictment against King was handed up, Clark wrote.
The filing Wednesday includes affidavits signed this week by both Clark and state prosecutor Kurt Wall.
In her affidavit, Clark says no one from Cannizzaro's office was "in the room, at any point, while this case was presented."
Wall, in his affidavit, claims he received a call from Cannizzaro's office on April 11, 2013, shortly after losing candidate Cynthia Samuel filed a complaint with the DA's Office alleging residency violations against both King and Hammel. Samuel also sent her complaint to Caldwell's office and the U.S. attorney.
In that call, Wall states in his sworn affidavit, a Cannizzaro representative said the office was recusing itself from the case.
Exactly a year later, First Assistant District Attorney Graymond Martin wrote a letter to Caldwell's office, formally recusing the office.
Cannizzaro last week also denied any participation by his office in King's prosecution. A spokesman, Christopher Bowman, has not responded to repeated requests for comment about the recusal issue.
A hearing has been set for Thursday on King's motion to quash the indictment against her. It will be held before retired Judge Michael Kirby, who was assigned the case by the Louisiana Supreme Court after all 12 Orleans Parish Criminal Court judges bowed out, citing personal or professional conflicts.
Roby argued that the grand jury based its indictment solely on the affidavit King filed with Secretary of State's Tom Schedler's office in February 2013, listing her address on Stillwater Drive in New Orleans.
Roby's claim, Clark wrote, was "completely conjured from his imagination."
"For (Roby) to go further and allege intentional prosecutorial misconduct is at the very least disingenuous and at the most sanctionable," Clark wrote. "While the defendant's motion and argument is entertaining on a very basic level, the allegations contained therein are not amusing at all."
Also included in the filing is a letter dated April 4, 2014, from Samuel to Wall describing phone records that Samuel said show a call from Cannizzaro's office in April 2013. In that call, Samuel wrote, she was told the district attorney was recusing his office from the case.
According to Clark, Caldwell's office "only participated in this case because it believed that it had the full consent and participation with the Orleans Parish District Attorney's Office."
While belated, the April letter from Martin is enough to make the indictment valid, Clark argued.
King, 56, faces up to five years in prison if convicted of the felony charge against her. She has pleaded not guilty.
King has never denied claiming a homestead exemption on the property she bought in 2006 on Chancer Lane in Slidell, but she has said the exemption was an inadvertent mistake that she later cleared up, paying back the tax savings, and that her twin sister lives in the Slidell house.
Several public documents, including King's 2012 bankruptcy filing — along with neighbors' statements — point to her living in the Slidell house at least in the months leading up to her May 2013 election after five earlier failed tries at public office.
The state constitution says judges in Louisiana "shall have been domiciled in the respective district, circuit or parish for one year preceding election."
Another clause says Orleans Parish Juvenile Court judges "shall have resided in the Parish of Orleans for at least two years immediately preceding their election."
In the meantime, a hearing has been set for Monday in East Baton Rouge Parish on a lawsuit filed Monday by Mayor Mitch Landrieu, insisting that Schedler's office remove King's judgeship from the ballot for the upcoming judicial elections.
Landrieu claims that King's Section E seat was abolished under a new law which took effect Aug. 1, aimed at shrinking the size of Orleans Parish Juvenile Court.
