Mid Wales

Mid Wales (Welsh: Canolbarth Cymru or simply Y Canolbarth "The Midlands") is the name given to the central region of Wales. The Mid Wales Regional Committee of the National Assembly for Wales covered the counties of Ceredigion and Powys and the area of Gwynedd that had previously been the district of Meirionydd. A similar definition is used by the BBC. The Wales Spatial Plan defines a region known as "Central Wales" which covers Ceredigion and Powys. If Mid Wales is classed as Ceredigion and Powys, the area would be 6,962 square kilometres (about the size of Cumbria).

Mid Wales is dominated by the Cambrian Mountains, including the area sometimes referred to as the "Green Desert of Wales". The region is sparsely populated, with an economy dependent on farming and small businesses. The density of the counties of Ceredigion and Powys combined is only 30 people per square kilometre.

    A phased launch of the new domains was scheduled, with trademark holders being eligible to apply initially. General availability was expected by the spring of 2015. Early adopters of the domains include the Welsh government and male voice choir Only Men Aloud!.

    Wales (i/ˈwlz/; Welsh: Cymru [ˈkəm.rɨ]) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and the island of Great Britain,bordered by England to its east, the Irish Sea to its north and west, and the Bristol Channel to its south. It had a population in 2011 of 3,063,456 and has a total area of 20,779 km2 (8,023 sq mi). Wales has over 1,680 miles (2,700 km) of coastline and is largely mountainous, with its higher peaks in the north and central areas, including Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa), its highest summit. The country lies within the north temperate zone and has a changeable, maritime climate.

    Welsh national identity emerged among the Celtic Britons after the Roman withdrawal from Britain in the 5th century, and Wales is regarded as one of the modern Celtic nations. Llywelyn ap Gruffudd's death in 1282 marked the completion of Edward I of England's conquest of Wales, though Owain Glyndŵr briefly restored independence to what was to become modern Wales, in the early 15th century. The whole of Wales was annexed by England and incorporated within the English legal system under the Laws in Wales Acts 1535–1542. Distinctive Welsh politics developed in the 19th century. Welsh Liberalism, exemplified in the early 20th century by Lloyd George, was displaced by the growth of socialism and the Labour Party. Welsh national feeling grew over the century; Plaid Cymru was formed in 1925 and the Welsh Language Society in 1962. Established under the Government of Wales Act 1998, the National Assembly for Wales holds responsibility for a range of devolved policy matters.

    Fade Out

    by: Matt Willis

    Girl I got a question needing your attention
    Something that you can't avoid
    Gotta to get a chance to
    Trying to get an answer
    Somewhere in between the noise
    Think you got a reason
    Everytime you're screaming
    Shouting till you got no voice
    Don't know where your head is
    I don't want to feel this baby
    But I got no choice
    Tell you what you want from me
    Is there somewhere
    That you'd rather be?
    'Cause everytime that we're alone...
    I'm watching it all fade out
    I'm feeling my heart grow colder
    Bridges are burning down
    And I just want to get away
    I'm hearing a different sound
    I'm hoping the worst is over
    Waiting to hit the ground...
    Every memory of us, for once was never enough
    to the dust while...I'm watching it all fade out
    Standing in the bedroom
    Whistle-ing the sametune
    How I never walk the walk
    Hearing 'bout the problems
    How I got to solve them
    'Cause you see it's all my fault
    Same conversations, same explanations
    Yeah but you never gonna have the time
    Always come undone
    'Cause I'm trying to be someone baby
    That I just can't find...
    Tell you what you want from me
    Is there somewhere
    That you'd rather be?
    'Cause everytime that we're alone...
    I'm watching it all fade out
    I'm feeling my heart grow colder
    Bridges are burning down
    And I just want to get away
    I'm hearing a different sound
    I'm hoping the worst is over
    Waiting to hit the ground...
    Every memory of us, for once was never enough
    to the dust while...I'm watching it all fade out
    Yeah, what used to seem so right
    yeah is fading out of sight
    Oh, do you even care?
    I'm watching it all fade out
    I'm feeling my heart grow colder
    Bridges are burning down
    And I just want to get away
    I'm watching it all fade out
    I'm feeling my heart grow colder
    Bridges are burning down
    And I just want to get away
    I'm hearing a different sound
    I'm hoping the worst is over
    Waiting to hit the ground...
    Every memory of us, for once was never enough
