'No-Show Rubio' faces friendly fire
Soon after congressional leaders announced a compromise on a big omnibus spending package, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) made clear he didn't like it. In a Fox interview and at a campaign event, the Florida senator talked about the need to delay a scheduled vote, "slow down" the process, and wage a fight over blocking Syrian refugees.
"[W]e should use every procedural aspect that we have to slow it down and perhaps force some changes on these things that we've been discussing," he said on Thursday.
But when Rubio said "we," he wasn't referring to himself. In fact, he did not take any steps to pursue his goal: the Republican didn't show up on Capitol Hill to try to delay the process, and a day later, Rubio also didn't show up to vote against the bill he wanted to kill.
The Washington Post noted that the senator has already been burdened by criticisms about absenteeism, but this one "stood out more than most – for the legislation's scope and the extent of Rubio's criticism of it."
Rubio was one of just two senators who did not vote on on a sweeping tax and spending bill that passed with bipartisan support. His three Republican Senate colleagues running for president each cast votes. […]In a Friday interview with CBS News, Rubio said of the bill, "In essence, not voting for it is a vote against it."
It wasn't long before other Republican presidential candidates were once again taking aim at No-Show Rubio. Chris Christie told a New Hampshire audience over the weekend, "Sen. Rubio, listen if you're going to say you are opposed to something, how about showing up to work and voting 'no.'"
Rand Paul added, "It's a trillion dollars in spending and I think earlier this week he talked about having some activity and then wasn't here. So yeah I think it's important to show up to your job. I think that really he ought to resign or quit accepting his pay if he's not going to come to work."
Of course, this line of attack probably sounds familiar: Jeb Bush used this to go on the offensive over the summer, but it had no real effect. There's no reason to assume it'll be any more effective now.
That said, the $1.1 trillion omnibus spending package isn't popular with conservatives – there's a reason Ted Cruz and Rand Paul made sure they showed up for work on Friday for the final vote of the year – and Rubio doesn't have much of an excuse for his absence.
What's more, a larger narrative is taking shape: Rubio isn't showing up much in Iowa; he isn't making many appearances in New Hampshire; and he's not bothering with his day job, even when important bills he claims to care about are under consideration.
As a state legislator, Rubio developed a reputation in Florida for being a little lazy and avoiding hard work – he used to tell people he was "more of a big-picture person" – and now the senator is reinforcing that reputation in ways that won't do his presidential campaign any favors.

Former British prime minister Tony Blair's political and personal "dominance" over his cabinet had reached such levels that nobody could challenge his decision to enter the Iraq War, says the author of the Chilcot report.
John Chilcot, who wrote a damning report about how Blair invaded Iraq on false pretenses, said Wednesday that he arrived on the conclusion after speaking to Jack Straw, Blair's foreign secretary during the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq.
"Tony Blair had, as leader of the opposition and in government, rescued his party from a dire predicament. I had the sense from Straw's answer that he had achieved a personal and political dominance, a sheer psychological dominance," he said.
"He [Blair] had been right. Was he not right this time? That's what I took from Mr. Straw's evidence," he noted, adding that Blair's easily went "beyond facts" to make a case for war.
Chilcot made the comments at the UK Parliament for the first since the publication of his report, which came out in early July.
The report said that the legal basis for military action was "far from satisfactory" and that Blair based his case for war on "flawed intelligence" about Iraq's supposed weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).
The inquiry also concluded that military action was "not a last resort," saying the UK chose to go to war before the peaceful options had been exhausted.
The UK Parliament voted in March 2003 to support Blair's decision to join the invasion of Iraq.
Blair's government sent 120,000 members of the British armed forces and civilians to Iraq. A total of 179 British personnel were killed in the war.
The former Labour leader, however, has defied all accusations with regards to the war and the subsequent occupation of Iraq that killed thousands of people.
Responding to the Chilcot's findings, he said he would accept "full responsibility" for the decision. However, he defended the war, saying it made the world "a better place" by removing Iraq's former dictator Saddam Hussein from power.

In a recent update of its World Economic Outlook, the International Monetary Fund has called upon developing countries to make the fight against inflation their top priority. While marking up inflation forecasts for these countries by more than 1.5 percentage points to 9.1 per cent in 2008 and 7.4 per cent in 2009, it urges central banks to tighten their monetary policies, and governments to exercise fiscal restraint. Unless these policies are pursued vigorously, there will be no moderation in inflation over the near-term. In addition to soaring commodity prices, the IMF cites "above- trend" economic growth in some of these countries and accommodative policies followed by their governments as the main factors behind the inflation. In developed countries, inflationary pressures are likely to meet with a fall in demand. In the European Union, fears of a sharp economic slowdown have overtaken the fears of inflation. Until recently, the European Central Bank has focussed on price stability. The U.S. Federal Reserve, having brought down the interest rates sharply, has not yet signalled a tightening presumably to forestall a full-blown recession.
The world over, policy makers are forced to balance the demands of economic growth and price stability. The IMF expects the world economy to slow down from 5 per cent last year to 4.1 per cent in 2008 and 3.9 per cent next year. Developing countries including India and China are widely expected to partially off-set the slowdown in the West. However, partly due to monetary tightening in the past, they are expected to grow at a slower 7 per cent in 2008-09, one percentage point less than in the previous year. In India, the WPI inflation has climbed to 11.91 per cent during the first week of July. There can be little consolation from the fact that the index increased only marginally over the previous week or that the prices of some food items have come down slightly. Global oil prices, despite their recent unexpected fall, are still on the high side. The secondary effects of the last hike in domestic petrol and diesel prices will take time to work their way through the system. The spatial distribution of the South-West monsoon has been uneven so far. Despite a record harvest, food prices are still very high. Citing some of these reasons, RBI Governor Y.V. Reddy has said that there is little likelihood of inflation coming down to single digits in the next six months. Hence some more monetary measures involving hikes in the CRR and the repo rate are strongly indicated, by July 29 when the RBI is due to review its monetary policy, or even earlier.

By buying some winter-proof linen, you could wind up saving yourself and your company a small fortune in heating bills.

For anglers, it's always a special day: The fly fishing opener at Silver Creek, always the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend.
This year it's extra special: It marks the start of a summer of celebration for the preserve's 35th anniversary.
We have a summer of activities planned, including a 35th anniversary gala with inspirational speakers, music, dancing, auction trips and more--set on the beautiful grounds of Heart Rock Ranch (formerly the Diamond Dragon Ranch). Mark your calendar for June 30 and sign up today!
First, though, is this weekend's opening day barbecue. Join us for food and stories at the visitor center from noon to 3 p.m. (or until the food runs out) on Saturday, May 28. And check out our complete summer schedule.
And how will the fishing be this year? It's always hard to know, but if last year is any indication, there should be some real monsters lurking in the depths. Maybe you'll be lucky and catch one like the one Conservancy staffer Mark Davidson caught (pictured below).
We hope to see you at the preserve this summer. We'll be saving a a place for you!

In this tutorial, we learn how to create a masquerade ball mask with makeup. First, draw the outline of the mask around your eyes. After you do this, paint on light blue eyeshadow in circles around your eyes. Then, take a dark blue color and apply it on the outer edge of the light blue and inside the outline that you created. Apply glitter to the dark blue portion of the eyes, then draw on black around the outline of the mask, smudging it onto the outer edges of the face. After this, apply eyeliner and false lashes to the eye. Finish this look off with two layers of rhinestones stuck to the mask area. One layer should be around the blue and the other should be around the black, enjoy!

O Brave New World that has such people in it!
Report of a Sunday in Lancashire
Last weekend I ventured over to Lancashire. I'd been invited to a garden party at a friend's allotment (dress code: fascinator and wellies) in Higher Walton, near Preston. It was raining as I left home in Yorkshire but by the time I was across the Pennines it had stopped and we enjoyed a Jacob's Join lunch in the open air. I must say that allotment gardening, and gardening in general, look like an awful lot of hard work … but the gain is tremendous; Kath's plot exceeded all expectations.
Welcome to the Party!
Wildflower Bed
Kath's Bee Hotel
It turned out that the allotment is just a few minutes from Hoghton Tower so after lunch two of us made our way to the Tower where we came across a reenactment of the Battle of Preston (1715). Amongst the reenactors I was surprised to see the Leeds Waits a group of musicians specialising in medieval music and, incidentally, my next-door neighbours!
"The battle of Preston at Houghton Tower 2015 : a short film showing the musicians that used to play at executions!"
We booked a tour of the house at 2.30 and made for the tea room for refreshments beforehand.
Some significant people are associated with Hoghton. In particular our guide was impressed by the James I connection. James is reported to have spent a few nights at the Tower in 1617 and it was here that he was so pleased with his roast beef dinner that he knighted the joint Sir Loin. James was apparently a small chap and instead of dismounting outside in the courtyard he rode his horse right into the house and up the stairs.
It is also reported that William Shakespeare spent some time here during the period known as his 'lost years'.
Charles Dickens was also familiar with the house and wrote a short story centred around it including a description of the building as a farm house: George Silverman's Explanation.
"And so, by fragments of an ancient terrace, and by some rugged outbuildings that had once been fortified, and passing under a ruined gateway, we came to the old farm-house in the thick stone wall outside the old quadrangle of Hoghton Towers."

A Beautiful Oasis of Peace and Tranquility in the Heart of Durham City : Crook Hall and Gardens
Durham Cathedral from Crook Hall Tea Room
Writing this on a warm sunny Easter Monday it's hard to believe that last Tuesday in Durham I managed to avoid snow showers whilst meeting a friend from my online book group for a day out at Crook Hall and Gardens in Durham.
This fascinating house and garden deserve another visit in the summer time when there will be more colour and a less forbidding sky. However, we did manage to visit each garden and delighted in what we saw.
The Hall is 13th century and provides a spectacular backdrop to the stunning gardens. It's a short walk from the bustling city centre to this oasis of peace. There's a tea room in the Georgian wing served by the house kitchen and you can visit many of the rooms in the house including the medieval hall with exposed beams.

Germany : Memories of a Nation
Over the last couple of days I've been reading the book of this title that accompanied the British Museum exhibition of the same name and the series of BBC Radio 4 talks by its author (and British Museum director), Neil MacGregor.
It's a weighty hardback book, nearly six hundred pages long and with masses of photos and maps. There are 30 chapters. This is no conventional history of Germany. Instead, MacGregor chooses to focus (as he did in his ground-breaking History of the World in 100 Objects exhibition, talks and book which has generated umpteen spin-offs) on objects and pictures which he feels relate to a "German history [which] may be inherently fragmented, but … contains a large number of widely shared memories, awarenesses and experiences". Quotations here are all taken from the book.
8 Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Each of the chapters was absorbing but several held particular interest for me. I studied German for four years at school to A-level and have visited Germany a few times. So when I read the chapter "One Nation under Goethe" I was straightaway reminded of his "Urfaust" (the earliest form of his Faust work) which we studied for A-level. But most of the chapter presented a picture of the German equivalent of William Shakespeare which I did not recognise.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe by Johann Tischbein and my 1968 edition of Faust Part One
The object MacGregor focuses on is the Tischbein portrait of Goethe (1786-7) which shows the playwright (and polymath) in a classical setting "out of these survivors of a dead culture, Goethe will make something living". Interestingly, for his fourth birthday Goethe was given, by his father, a toy puppet theatre which can still be seen today in his birthplace museum in Frankfurt. Goethe later wrote that this gift was to change his life. He was to become especially interested in Shakespeare and it was the influence of his (Shakespeare's) writing that led Goethe to write his first work "The Sorrows of Young Werther". MacGregor declares "Werther established German for the first time as a European literary language".
17 An artist for all Germans
Self-Portrait – Albrecht Durer (1500)
The artist Albrecht Durer (1471-1528) created the first and possibly the most celebrated logo of all German logos. I remembered visiting the British Museum as a student to see The Graphic Work of Albrecht Durer in late 1971 or early 1972. This was an exhibition of Durer's prints and drawings in celebration of the 500th anniversary of his birth. I remember seeing his Praying Hands drawing and Young Hare etching in a beautiful dark room where only the pictures were lit. More recently I visited a show of his work at the Lady Lever Art Gallery in Port Sunlight on Merseyside, 'Durer and Italy', in the summer of 2010.
20 Cradle of Modernism
The cradle in question was designed by Peter Keler in 1922 and is still in production today and the modernist movement with which chapter 20 is concerned is Bauhaus. Elegant and simple sums up Bauhaus design established in Weimar in 1919 by Walter Gropius. Inspired by historic German values it was to "combine the medieval-guild traditions of communal working with the most rigorous principles of modern design and the enormous potential of industrial production". Funding for the Bauhaus was cut in 1924 when the Social Democrats lost power in Thuringia. In 1925 it moved to Dessau. Although intending to be apolitical, when the Nazis took control of Dessau the Bauhaus moved again and to Berlin but was finally closed in 1933 when it had been "condemned by the Nazis as a centre of cultural Bolshevism". There is now a Bauhaus Archive in Berlin which I have seen from a tour boat but not yet visited (it's on my list!).
Bauhaus Archive, Berlin
22 The Suffering Witness
Here is my photo (2009) of the Neue Wache or "New Guard House" built by Karl Friedrich Schinkel in Berlin. The sculpture is an enlarged version of "Mother with her dead son" by Kaethe Kollwitz. The light is from the oculus in the roof. The memorial to the fallen of the war lies directly under the oculus exposed to all the Berlin weather.
In this chapter MacGregor talks about the life and work of the sculptor and printmaker Kaethe Kollwitz (1867-1945). The sculpture above, within the Neue Wache, was chosen by Chancellor Helmut Kohl in 1993 as a "memorial to the Victims of War and Tyranny" to be placed in this "austere neo-classical building in the heart of Berlin".
I also recommend the chapters on Gutenberg (16 In the Beginning was the Printer); on the Hanseatic city-states (13 The Baltic Brothers) and on beer and sausages (10 One People, Many Sausages)!
Two Henrys : The Fourth Part Two and Moore
From Renishaw Hall on the eighteenth of June we made our way to Stratford upon Avon where we checked in at our hotel in time to wash and brush up before heading on foot (only a few minutes distant) to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre by the River Avon. It was a lovely warm evening and there were lots of people about enjoying relaxing by the River and the Canal.
We were booked for supper at The Rooftop Restaurant followed by a performance of Shakespeare's Henry IV Part Two by the Royal Shakespeare Company. This was no dull, boring history play rather it seemed to me dominated by comedy. Anthony Sher played Falstaff and the whole performance was being filmed and relayed simultaneously to a greater audience in cinemas throughout the country. This meant that the director, Greg Doran, came on stage at the beginning to introduce the play.

The Birthplace
The next morning after a leisurely breakfast and opportunity to take a walk in Stratford we headed off to nearby Compton Verney where we had a full programme of tours, a sandwich lunch and time also to walk in the park, visit the chapel and spend time (and money) in the attractive gift shop.
"10.30am Depart for Compton Verney. Set in a park designed by the ubiquitous 'Capability' Brown, this long-derelict house of the Willoughby de Broke family is now resurgent under the inspiration of the [Peter] Moore's Foundation. The collections are numerous and varied. The morning will be given over to the current display of sculptures by Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin, while the afternoon will feature a guided tour of salient points of the main collection which encompasses British Portraits, Chinese Ceramics and Bronzes, British Folk Art and for Textile-buffs The Marx-Lambert Collection. You will be free to visit those parts of the collection which are your particular interest. www.comptonverney.org.uk" [Our Programme]

15 February 2014 to 31 August 2014
10th Anniversary Year – Moore Rodin at Compton Verney
This ground-breaking international exhibition compares the work of two giants of modern sculpture: Henry Moore and Auguste Rodin. This is the first exhibition to be devoted exclusively to these artists, with major works being displayed in our 'Capability' Brown landscape as well as in our exhibition spaces.
Fallen Caryatid by Rodin
Reclining Figure : Bunched by Henry Moore
In the grounds
Enjoy eleven large scale works which complement, challenge and create new perspectives to vistas 'Capability' Brown formed in the 1760s. Amongst these amazing pieces is one of Rodin's most famous works, Monument to the Burghers of Calais (usually on display outside the Houses of Parliament), Moore's magnificent monumental Three Piece Sculpture: Vertebrae and The Arch.
Rodin's Walking Man on Column
Henry Moore Upright Motive No. 9 with Chapel
Inside the galleries
Gain an amazing insight into the works of these two artists. Explore the parallels between their treatment of the figure through a beautiful collection of drawings and models made for larger works. See a special display curated by Moore's daughter Mary which reveals both artists as keen collectors of antiquities and found objects which profoundly influenced their work. The final treat is a display of rarely seen archival documents and photographs taken by Henry Moore revealing that … 'as time has gone on, my admiration for Rodin has grown and grown'.
After our sandwich lunch I wandered round the grounds and visited the Capability Brown Chapel. This was built in 1776 as part of the relandscaping of the site and is one of the few surviving Georgian chapels in Britain, and one of the very few remaining architectural works by 'Capability' Brown. It is currently undergoing a restoration project and more funds are needed to support this work as it's hoped to use the building in future for music and learning.
The Chapel Interior
And in the afternoon we had a tour of the permanent collection – British Portraits
Beautiful Displays
and British Folk Art. Currently there is an exhibition of British Folk Art at Tate Britain and this will then come to Compton Verney from 27 September 2014 to 14 December 2014.

And finally, the Marx-Lambert Collection.
"Enid Marx (1902-1998) was one of the brightest design stars to emerge from the Design School of London's Royal College of Art (RCA) during the interwar years. She was an author and illustrator of children's books, a book designer, a printmaker, a textile designer and a painter.
The Marx-Lambert collection at Compton Verney features both work produced by Marx and a large number of pieces of folk or popular art which were collected by Marx and her friend Margaret Lambert (1906-95). These then inspired Marx's own work -sometimes directly, as seen in the pair of ceramic wall-mounted cornucopia cases which inspired her 'Cornucopia' textile design."
Canal Art and Wallpaper
A wonderful trip full of interest and variety marred only by a 3 hour delay on the M1 due to a lorry on fire.
The Pilgrim's Progress and A Winter's Tale – Some Literary Remains in Bedfordshire
The clues to the literary connections in the local area can always be found in the Landmark Library of any property.
John Bunyan was a Bedfordshire man. He was born in the village of Elstow in 1628 and he spent 12 years as a prisoner of conscience in Bedford Jail where he had the idea to write his most famous work. The Pilgrim's Progress was published in two parts in 1678 and 1684. Bunyan died in Holborn in London in 1688 and I have seen his grave and memorial in Bunhill Fields Cemetery in London.
I discovered the existence of Houghton House not too far from Old Warden from another little series of books which I consult before making trips; the Heritage Unlocked series published by English Heritage.
I'm not a member of EH and to visit the remains of Houghton House, just outside the busy little town of Ampthill, it's no advantage to be because it's free to visit during daylight hours.
From the EH website :
"Houghton House today is the shell of a 17th century mansion commanding magnificent views, reputedly the inspiration for the 'House [or Palace] Beautiful' in John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress.
It was built around 1615 for Mary, Dowager Countess of Pembroke, in a mixture of Jacobean and Classical styles: the ground floors of two Italianate loggias survive, possibly the work of Inigo Jones.
Information panels describe the house, its owners and the surrounding hunting estate."
The ruin of Houghton House is approached along a tree-lined track.
There are also many trees laden with mistletoe – giving quite a seasonal feel. Also, it was approaching dusk which increased the dramatic effect of the ruin but maybe my photos turned out a little on the dark side.
Houghton House "commands spectacular views over the Bedfordshire countryside and would have been a grand setting indeed for the countess' social events."
And in the History Album at Keeper's Cottage we are informed of a Shakespearean connection to Old Warden :
"Warden Pear. A small pear used for cooking, the Warden Pear was the key ingredient in Warden Pies, which crop up here and there in Elizabethan and Stuart literature, most notably in Shakespeare's Winter's Tale , where the Clown almost gives the recipe : "I must have saffron to colour the warden pies; mace; dates? …nutmegs, seven; a race or two of ginger, byut that I may beg, four pounds of prunes and as many raisins o' the sun" [Act IV, sc. Iii] Hot Warden Pies were still sold in Bedford in the nineteenth century."

Forced arbitration: A clause for concern
Source: Scott Medintz, Consumer Reports
Whether you realize it or not, chances are you have agreed to arbitration on dozens of occasions, forfeiting your right to take problems—even serious ones—with a product or service to court. Arbitration clauses have spread rapidly through the consumer landscape in recent decades, first in the financial and telecom industries and more recently—as new Consumer Reports research shows—into the realm of consumer products.
Because arbitration proceedings are private, and because arbitration clauses almost always forbid plaintiffs from joining together, companies can use arbitration to preemptively crush consumer challenges to their practices, no matter how predatory, discriminatory, unsafe—and even illegal—they may be.

I must have been six. It was the first year the big time magic of the season etched into my little brain. The scenes are still indelible. Our little two bedroom VA financed home looked out at a street light that during this season seemed always to be wrapped in swirling snow. A real life snow globe! The tree was strung in those big old fashioned colored lights. Mom, no real artist created a Bon ami snow scape scene on the living room mirror and the window in the front door. I thought they were shear beauty. We had a record player, not a high fi, but a little player with speakers attached and I played needle drop over and over and over on Silent Night and Gene Autry's Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Life could never be more perfect, so full of pure joy and wonder.
Trumbo is American history and civics, warts and all.

Become a Superstar Employee: Harness Your Emotional Intelligence
It's a valuable soft skill.
Jun 12, 2018
The summer months are the perfect time to slow down, get out of the rat race for a while, and relax. In fact, it can be an excellent time for self-evaluation, a time to discover passions and interests, and how you can be a better person, a better friend, and a better employee through emotional intelligence.
Defining Emotional Intelligence: A soft skill that lends perspective on how you work and interact with others, it involves incorporating new strategies to strengthen your value in the workplace - a necessary attribute in today's unpredictable job market.
Emotional Intelligence will be one of the top ten job skills by 2020, according to The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report. So, what does it mean?
Psychology Today's definition is: "the ability to identify and manage your own emotions and the emotions of others. It includes three skills: Emotional awareness, the ability to harness emotions, and apply them to tasks such as thinking and problem solving; and the ability to manage emotions, which includes regulating your own emotions and cheering up or calming other people." That's a mouthful. Let's simplify.
In the work environment, the myth that the highest IQ's make the most successful employees is debunked after decades of research. Emotional Intelligence and IQ are different; EQ relates to human behavior (your personal and social competence), while Q relates to your intellect.
Two Categories of Competence That Define Emotional Intelligence
1. Personal Competence
- Self-awareness: A conscious awareness and accurate perception of your emotions.
- Self-management: Using that awareness to stay flexible and confident in your behavior.
2. Social Competence
- Social awareness: An awareness and accurate perception of other's emotions.
- Relationship management: Using that awareness to manage social interaction successfully.
According to TalentSmart, a firm that provides EQ training, 90% of top performers across all industries have a high EQ, and this asset is responsible for 58% of job performance. Your EQ is at the core of everything you do, and controls every skill in your toolbox, but, when differentiating, IQ is learning ability, and EQ is how to use what you've learned.
How to Raise Your EQ at the Office – 6 Tips
- Digital communication: Email is an integral part of office communication; but, sometimes words are misconstrued; therefore, it's imperative you read and re-read all correspondence before you hit the enter key. Keep in mind, recipients, including the boss, cannot read your tone of voice in your email; you can easily give the wrong impression with just one little word.
- Reflect on your emotions and ask others for their perspective: You may not always be accurate in defining your emotions, but with practice and help it improves.
- Pause and observe: It will help you be more in tune to what you and others are feeling.
- Ask yourself questions: Why am I feeling this way? Why do they think the way they do? What factors am I missing? What would I think if I were in their shoes?
- Embrace criticism: Accept criticism as a gift – an opportunity to grow and learn. Even unfair criticism can convert into a learning experience.
- Avoid negativity: It's very easy to get pulled into negative conversations at work. Some people thrive on gossip and negative talk. Their behavior can change the mood of an entire office in one full sweep and convert a once optimistic group of employees to a pack of complainers. Exercise your EQ by avoiding negative conversations – or better yet, change the course of the conversation.
Above are just six examples of how EQ is enhanced; however, every individual has their own set of deficiencies to attack. If you want to take charge of your career, and strengthen your job security, build emotional intelligence. Recognize the feelings of emotions that arise within you, and choose to control them. Take time to recognize others' emotions empathetically. This new skill allows for a more peaceful co-existence in the world.

Angry relatives hit out in disgust after learning they could be kept in the dark about the investigation.
One Teesside mum even vowed to take action into her own hands in a bid to make her voice heard and bring the inquiry into the open.
Mounting complaints from families suffering the agony of inquest delays led to the investigation into Michael Sheffield.
Now they have been told they may not even be allowed to make representations to the inquiry and may not even discover the eventual findings.
Margaret Wright endured a 14-month wait for an inquest into the death of her daughter, Middlesbrough mum Mandi Blake, to be completed.
An open verdict was recorded into the death of the 32-year-old after she was found dead at the bottom of her stairs in November 2001.
Today Mrs Wright, from Thorntree, made a vow to write to her MP in disgust at how the inquiry is to be handled.
"It is our lives they are messing with, not the Coroner's life," she said. "It is us that have to go through it.
"Two children are left here without their mum. He doesn't see what they go through, he is just in his office.
"Why should it be kept quiet? It is going to be another whitewash.
"What's the point of having the inquiry in the first place? I am furious."
David Pinkney waited two years for an inquest into the death of his parents Kathleen, 87, and Edmund, 82, to be held.
The couple died in a car crash on the A19 near Hartlepool on December 1, 2000.
"I think this is appalling. There is no reason why this should be carried out in secrecy, we are not talking about nuclear secrets here," he said.
"If the Prime Minister can give evidence in public for the Hutton Inquiry then there is no reason why the coroner cannot."

'Act of Valor' trailer: Is this a Navy SEALs recruitment video? Is that a bad thing?
Francois Truffaut famously said that there is no such thing as an anti-war film, because the action of warfare fundamentally looks exciting onscreen. (Just look at the D-Day sequence of Saving Private Ryan, which briefly appeared horrific before becoming the model of the modern shaky-cam action sequence.) Really, you could argue that the very notion of portraying war as "entertainment" is fundamentally immoral, if you wanted to be a fun-killing hippie about everything.
Which is all a roundabout way of saying that I'm not quite sure what to think of the trailer for Act of Valor, the upcoming February release which portrays a Navy SEAL mission using actual Navy SEALs, and carries the stamp of approval from the Navy. (If you're interested, the Wall Street Journal has a long piece on the making of the film.) The cynic in me wants to point out that the film sidesteps some real-world issues: Oh, look, an Eastern European terrorist, how topical for 1992! But there's something undeniably compelling about seeing genuine men of war re-enacting strikes, instead of actors who went to a five-day vacation boot camp. Watch the trailer and ponder the greater political implications:

Most people who have stopped smoking cigarettes wonder whether it is possible to regenerate the body, destroyed by long-term addiction. Smoking cigarettes causes very extensive damage. There is no doubt that quitting smoking is the only way to stop the damage caused by smoking. But will you be as healthy as when you have not smoked cigarettes?
Immediately after stopping smoking, the risk of heart disease and stroke will begin to decrease. Within two years after quitting smoking, the risk of heart attack falls to the same level as a person who has never smoked cigarettes. The risk of cancer also decreases after you quit smoking. The risk of lung, oral, throat, pancreatic and bladder cancer decreases by 50% after five years after quitting smoking.
Smoking cigarettes reduces the flow of blood and oxygen to the upper layers of the skin and, as a result, damages the skin. This leads to wrinkles and accelerated aging. This process can also be stopped by quiting smoking.
So, stopping smoking is very beneficial for health and actually stops the damage caused by smoking. Over time most of the ailment is passing. However, there are certain types of smoking-related harm that can be permanent and fatal. If you smoke a lot or you have been addicted for a long time, you may develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
If you smoke cigarettes, you must quit smoking as soon as possible to reverse the addiction. Quitting smoking is not easy for everyone, but finding the right way dramatically increases the chances of success. The most popular are the natural methods of combating nicotine addiction. Natural methods of quitting smoking can help to avoid costs and negative side effects.

5 reasons why Poland is a great Christmas incentive destination
The jolly festive period before Christmas is always a busy time for our team.With all the scheduling, researching and (not to mention) bringing out our vast supplies of creativity, it is very easy to forget about packing your own Xmas pressies 🙂 However, we love Christmas in Poland and we'd love to share our thoughts on why we think Poland is a great MICE destination for Christmas incentives which become increasingly popular!
1. You do get snow in December!
Right, you'd think that with all the global warming the snow has melted away, but thankfully, we still do get occassional snow in December and it's very likely that you will see it in Poland in the period leading up to Christmas! Warsaw offer a ski-slope called Gorka Szczesliwicka (yes try to pronounce that!) so you might actually do some skiing before enjoying a mug of mulled wine at the Warsaw Old Town
2. Warsaw's Christmas lights do shine through!
Voted among TOP 10 Christmas lights in Europe by many magazines and tourism websites, Warsaw indeed does shines through in December. All the main streets are powered by beaming Christmas decorations and there's even a Santa armchair located on the Royal Route towards the Old Town. Perfect if you'd like to impress your peers on Instagram 🙂
3. Christmas Markets
Wherever you may go in Poland, be it Krakow, Gdansk, Warsaw or Poznan, each major Polish city opens up a Chistmas market at the very beginning of December. Comparable to those in other countries such as Germany or Austria, the Polish Christmas markets offed ample food options (do try Polish bigos stew and dumplings!) You may also buy Christmas decorations and some great sweets.
4. Poland is a home to Chistmas baubles!
Yes, that's correct! Poland is the biggest producer of Christmas baubles in the world. Krakow even offers Christmas baubles workshop so you might want to learn how these are produced and realize that the original baubles are actually made of glass.
5. Get sporty in winter!
The Warsaw National Stadium changes into one big winter fairytale theme park. With ski slopes, an ice rink, skating, curling and a food court located inside, the stadium is a great choice for those who'd like slide more than move and enjoy a Christmas spirit on the go. Perfect for smaller incentive groups.
Obviously, there's much more to the list, but of course we can't spill it all for you! 🙂 You're more than welcome to join us in Poland for your Christmas incentive.
Merry Christmas! Ho ho!< back to posts

text: Herati design is a very common repeat field design consisting of a flower centered in a diamond with curving lanceolate leaves located outside the diamond and parallel to each side. There are many versions of this design in different shapes and dimensions. Some refer to this design as a fish design because of the resemblance of the inner shapes to a fish. This beautiful nomadic design was created in the city of Harat (the capital of Timur) now in Afghanistan. Although falling far short of the high standards of the time when Herat was part of Persia, weavers of this region are still attentive to the early traditions of weaving. Having been made across the border around the city of Mashad, many of these rugs have the silky appearance peculiar to the rugs of Persian Khorassan. However, their tones of color, mainly consisting of red and blue in the field with yellow, light green, and ivory in the border, as well as most of the patterns remain distinct. In one type the fields are covered with pear designs, but their bent narrow ends always turn in the same direction, while those of other rugs turn in different directions in alternate rows. Entwined fish (Mahi - dar - ham) pattern is one of the sub - patterns of this category which was produced for the first time in Khorasan but gradually it found its way to other carpet weaving areas of Iran. Sub - Patterns are: Mahi (fish) Farahan, Mahi Sanandaj.

A couple of years back, I was in Asia and I came across a couple of bottles in a bar. The bartender in this bar, hidden away on a very well-known street in a very well-known area, known for its tendency to be a "party central", tried to convince me that it was scotch, made in Japan, and that it was very tasty and worth a try. Then he quoted me the price for a pour, and I mocked him, his intelligence, and the idea that the Japanese could call their whisky 'scotch'. It was one of the few times I have ever been wrong about whisky in my life.
Maybe two years ago, I came across Yamazaki whisky again, in a nice bar in a hotel in Asia. I drank, over the course of a week, almost half the bottle, and was very impressed by the quality of the whisky that it contained. So, when you take a tasty Japanese whisky, and then you talk about mixing it with a good cigar, I can't say yes to that fast enough. This is precisely what 1880 International has done.
The cigar itself is of carefully chosen priming's of different regional tobaccos; an Ecuadorian wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. But each individual part of the cigar is blended with Yamazaki 18 year old whisky, which makes it more flavorful, and gives it a peaty and smoky taste that you will love. The result is as unique as the patented process that makes this all possible. A true gem of a cigar!
If you're a scotch lover, there is no reason NOT to try this cigar.

CHESHIRE — After going 6-4 last season and 2-2 in SCC Tier 1, the Cheshire football team is looking forward to getting better this upcoming campaign.
Like every year, it will not be an easy road.
For starters, the Rams have a tenacious schedule. Along with a tough SCC Tier 1 schedule versus Shelton, West Haven, Notre Dame-West Haven, North Haven, and Fairfield Prep, Cheshire plays a crossover against defending state Class L champion Daniel Hand and non-conference games against perennial powerhouses Newtown and Southington.
For another thing, the Rams must replace the majority of their starters, including three-year starting quarterback Jack Raba and several All-Record-Journal and All-Conference players now suiting up in college — lineman Dan Covel (St. Lawrence), linebacker Nick Nelson (Pace) and four-year safety/wide receiver Michael Jeffery (Amherst).
Add wide receiver/captain Eric Angelone to that list. Add kicker/punter Ethan Bronson, who was also All-RJ and All-Conference.
There are a lot of positions to fill, which means there are a lot of opportunities.
"We are working hard," said Don Drust, who is entering his seventh year as Cheshire's head coach. "Guys showed up understanding that we had to get a lot of work done. We had a lot of holes to fill; we graduated a lot of seniors last year. The good thing is everybody has embraced it and everybody understands what we have in front of us and what we have to do."
The Rams certainly aren't ducking from the challenge.
"We've been a very energetic team. We've been wanting to get after it in the first couple practices, which is great," said senior Jason Shumilla, who started last year at cornerback and looms as Raba's replacement at QB. "I've seen a lot of the new guys picking it up and starting to get things rolling, and it is looking good."
The team's young energy and the uncertainty over starting positions is something the Rams will look to work to their advantage going into the season.
"Competition breeds success," Drust said. "I know it's cliche, but I am a firm believer in it.
"We have to take it day by day more than ever," Drust added. "We are replacing a lot of guys and we have a lot of guys that graduated, and we have to understand the process, understand what we have to get better at. And we have to understand that we have to learn from everything we've done wrong and right."
The Rams bid farewell to a senior class of 27. Even for a Class LL program like Cheshire, that's a large number.
So is the yardage that must be replaced.
Raba, now playing lacrosse at Loyola-Maryland, departed as the program's all-time leading passer (3,913 yards, 28 TDs). His understudy, the more-than-serviceable Will Graikoski, also graduated.
Of the 1,528 passing yards Raba and Graikoski dished out last season, senior receivers, led by Jeffery (670) and Angelone (431), accounted for all but 90 of them. Cole Escoto (Bridgton Academy), Tim Hoynes (UMass lacrosse) and Tom Wnuck are also key receivers who graduated.
Shumilla and senior Jackson Telese are looking to fill the shoes at quarterback. Seniors Tim Krutz and Jacob Simsik, along with junior Alec Frione, are the leading candidates to fill the open receiver spots.
Up front, Cheshire brings back just one starter, senior Tom Cherneskie. A pair of juniors, Will Bergin and Sean Cangiano, look to help fill the breach.
Where the Rams do return experience is at running back. Jake McAlinden was the team's leading rusher last year as a sophomore with 681 yards on 112 carries.
He's the lightning in the Cheshire ground game. The thunder is 215-pound senior Elijah Alston. A third-year starter, Alston rushed for 343 yards last year.
The Rams took graduation hits at all three levels on this side of the ball.
Along with Covel, the line lost Dan Calbo, Connor Whelan, Owen Reach and Andrew Zebarth. Calbo is now at St. Lawrence with Covel. The 6-foot-7, 325-pounds Zebarth is at Sacred Heart.
At linebacker, along with Nelson, Cheshire lost Jay Como and Cole Escoto. Led by Nelson's team-high 118 tackles, that linebacking trio accounted for 255 tackles a year ago.
Gone from the secondary, aside from Jeffery, Angelone and Hoynes, is Nick Quint, whose five interceptions were the team high.
Shumilla brings experience back to the secondary. The linebacking corps will be rebuilt around Alston. The line will be reforged with Bergin, Cangiano and Cherneskie.
These are the players Cheshire will count on heavily for their maturity.
"Jason Shumilla started at corner; he understands it," said Drust. "Will Bergin started on the offensive and defensive line a couple games; he gets it. And Sean Cangiano understands, too. We are leaning on these guys to help bring the others along and to be leaders and take on some of those roles."
With Shelton's turf field being resurfaced, the season opener with the Gaels has been moved to Thursday night, Sept. 6, at West Haven's Ken Strong Stadium.
The Rams stay on the road in Week 2 (Newtown) and Week 3 (North Haven). The home opener is a SCC crossover against Jonathan Law on Sept. 28.
Cheshire also hosts Fairfield Prep (Oct. 12), Notre Dame (Oct. 26), Hand (Nov. 2) and Harding (Nov. 9). This year's Apple Classic is in Southington.
Simsik likes what he has seen so far from his teammates in practice and is ready to get the season started.
"I've seen that we are going to be a team that plays very hard and finishes games," said Simsik. "I can't wait for Friday nights. There is nothing like them. Can't wait for the first game against Shelton."

There is some good news on the front of Aquaman, even though the upcoming comic book adaptation in the DC Extended Universe has been playing coy from the public for some time now.
Taking to Instagram earlier today, actor Jason Momoa confirmed that director James Wan and the crew are nearly done with scheduled reshoots.
He also shared a new photo from the set that features a staffer (extreme left) carrying a gold-colored Trident. The background suggests that this specific scene, much like most of the movie, takes place underwater as well.
Aquaman was previously reported to have received positive reactions from early test screenings held in February. The standalone debut for the character was praised by a select audience for not only featuring action-heavy sequences but also emotional content.
However, Aquaman remains without a trailer. Wan made it clear a few weeks back that nothing "subpar" will be shown to the public. This takes into account the fact that Aquaman involves an insane amount of visual effects, making it incredibly tedious to process every single scene. Hence, the trailer will only be released once everything is ready and polished down to the bone.
Aquaman will be set after the events of Justice League (2017) and center on Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) as he takes on the responsibilities of the throne of Atlantis and protect his underwater kingdom from arch nemesis Black Manta (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II).
The other confirmed cast features Amber Heard as Mera, Patrick Wilson as Ocean Master, Willem Dafoe as Nuidis Vulko, Temuera Morrison as Thomas Curry, and Dolph Lundgren as Nereus.
Aquaman is scheduled to open in theaters on December 21, 2018.

On this 500th anniversary year of the Protestant Reformation I want to finish reading Alister McGrath's book Reformation Thought: An Introduction. When I started reading, a few months ago, I immediately realized that what I thought I knew about that time and the purposes and processes of the Reformation was paltry at best. I anticipate enjoying the book, and coming away with a better understanding because I've read several books by McGrath. He is a good writer. I trust him to be knowledgeable about anything he commits to writing, and as accurate, easy to understand, and truthful as possible.
From the chapter titled Introduction:
…..The sad state of the church in the early sixteenth century was simply a symptom of a more radical disease—a deviation from the distinctive ideas of the Christian faith, a loss of intellectual identity, a failure to grasp what Christianity really was. Christianity could not be reformed without an understanding of what Christianity was actually meant to be…. [T]he obvious decline of the late Renaissance church was the latest stage in a gradual process which had been going on since about the theological renaissance of the twelfth century—the corruption of Christian doctrine and ethics.
Confronting corruption of Christian doctrine and ethics is an ongoing, and always contemporary battle. Reformation (in the perfect tense) is central to Christianity, both on a personal and corporate level.

Written below is some guidance that we can provide arising from questions that our members ask us.
Remember, however, if in any doubt consult your doctor or ring 999 in the first instance.
Don't ignore central chest pain.
A pain in the centre of your chest can be a symptom of a heart attack. See below for symptoms.
Don't waste time
Too many people waste time doubting their symptoms and wondering whether they should call an ambulance. If you get central chest pain, call 999 immediately. Time is of the essence. If you get treatment within the first hour, called the Golden Hour, so that clot-busting drugs can be given or stents inserted, your chances of avoiding damage to the heart muscle and recovering well from any heart attack are increased considerably.
Always carry your GTN spray with you.
If you start with chest pains stop what you are doing and rest. Put one GTN tablet or one spray under your tongue and wait 5 minutes.
If you still have discomfort, repeat with another tablet or spray and wait 5 minutes.
If you still have discomfort you need hospital attention so call 999
If you have had heart bypass surgery
If you have had heart bypass surgery your specialist will let you know if you are likely to get angina again after the operation. Sometimes in surgery it is not always possible to achieve complete revascularisation and therefore not possible to get rid of angina altogether so there may well be a good reason to continue carrying your spray with you. If your specialist tells you that you will no longer get angina because any narrowing of the coronary arteries has been completely rectified then it will not be necessary to carry a GTN spray. The most important thing is that if you find you are getting unexpected chest pain or using your GTN spray a lot after bypass surgery you need to talk to your GP without delay.
