LANGTON, Sir Thomas (1496/97-1569), of Newton and Walton-le-Dale, Lancs.
b. 1496/97, 2nd s. of Ralph Langton of Newton and Walton-le-Dale by Joan, da. of Sir Christopher Southworth of Samlesbury. m. (1) Elizabeth, (?illegit.) da. of Edward Stanley, 1st Lord Monteagle, 8s. 5da.; (2) Anne, (?illegit.) da. of Thomas Talbot of Salesbury, 3s. 1da. suc. bro. 1511. Kntd. 8 June 1533.1
Commr. subsidy, Lancs. 1523, 1524, 1563, tenths of spiritualities 1535, relief 1550; other commissions 1532-7; j.p. 1531/32-d.; sheriff 1533-4, 1555-6, 1566-7; gov. Blackburn g.s. 1567-d.2
Langton's father died in 1503 and his elder brother died eight years later when Thomas was 14. Their mother had obtained the wardship of her sons but granted it on 11 Nov. 1506 to Sir Edward Stanley, later 1st Lord Monteagle, who married his ward to his daughter, sometimes said to have been illegitimate. On 4 Aug. 1558 Langton conveyed his considerable estates to his brother-in-law, the 2nd Lord Monteagle, Bishop Stanley of Sodor and Man, and William Fleetwood, in a settlement of questionable legality designed to exclude the children of his second marriage from the inheritance. Fleetwood was the nephew of John Fleetwood of Penwortham who had married one of Sir Thomas Langton's daughters: the Fleetwoods were later to inherit the Langton estates.3
Langton held the advowson of Wigan where the rector, acting through a steward or bailiff, was lord of the manor. In 1519 he presented the physician Thomas Linacre and during 1532-3 his own son Richard. Richard Langton died almost immediately, whereupon Langton presented Richard Kighley, from whom the rectory was leased by John Kitchen, who also purchased the right to the next presentation from Langton. This was one of a number of such sales or grants by Langton: thus, his kinsman Bishop Stanley was presented on 10 Aug. 1558 by John Fleetwood and others, and Fleetwood presented again in 1569. As lord of Newton, Langton was the chief lord of Wigan, but he aspired to be the rector's steward as well. Balked of this office he acted as if he had secured it and interfered in the mayoral election of 1539. In or about 1546 he even appointed the 3rd Earl of Derby his deputy, but when Derby sued him for his fees of £5 6s.8d. a year Langton blandly replied 'that he was never seised of the said office'. Early in Elizabeth's reign, when Derby was suing Langton on this score, Bishop Stanley as rector of Wigan and Sir Thomas as deputy to the then steward, William Fleetwood, appeared in the duchy court against William Gerard II and others in a dispute over the title of the parsonage to certain liberties. An ardent litigant, Langton fought one case against Thomas Fleetwood and in at least one other employed William Fleetwood.4
Langton was knighted at the coronation of Anne Boleyn. He led over 100 men in helping the Earl of Derby to suppress the Pilgrimage of Grace. During the 1540s and 50s he was repeatedly called upon to serve in the border fighting against the Scots and twice during the period he had difficulty in raising as many soldiers as were expected of him. His experience in local management and in war well qualified him for election to Mary's second Parliament when his fellow-knight was his kinsman Sir Thomas Stanley. The Journal does not mention Langton. He may have promoted the enfranchisement of his borough of Newton in 1559, but this is more likely to have been the work of William Fleetwood, then counsel to the duchy of Lancaster and steward of the borough. In a will of 4 Apr. 1569 he recounted a settlement made 11 years previously and, besides naming the manors involved, enumerated his '600 messuages, 200 tofts, 12 mills, 20 dove houses, 600 gardens, 600 orchards, 6,000 acres of land, 2,000 [acres] of meadow, 5,000 acres of pasture, 1,000 acres of wood, 6,000 [acres of] heath, 6,000 acres of moor [and] 1,000 acres of marsh'. As executors he named his friends Sir Richard Sherborn, Alexander Rigby of Arley and Edmund Winstanley of Wigan, and his servant John Woodcock, and as supervisors Thomas Carus and John Walshe. He died in the same year, when his grandson and heir was eight years old.5

MPW Explains Hurdles to Road Construction
Although, the Ministry of Public Works (MPW) has explained the delay in construction of the Police Academy Road in Paynesville as due to lack of funding, residents of the Police Academy Community have called upon the government to address the environmental hazard being caused on the road by copious amounts of dust leftover from incomplete construction.The Assistant Minister for Operations and Construction at the MPW, William L. Slour, made the disclosure on Monday, January 6, to some residents of the community at his office in Monrovia.The residents convened the meeting to seek the MPW's attention in solving the environmental problem the dust is causing in their community. At least 820 students are currently not in class at the Ann Sandell Independent School along the Police Academy road in Paynesville as dust from the unpaved road has covered every surface of the campus.Some residents of the area have reported experiencing health problems as a result of inhaling the dust.Explaining to the residents at the meeting, Minister Slour disclosed that the company could not continue the road project due to lack of compensation for those whose structures are to be demolished."The Government has not provided the money needed for the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) in order to implement the road project. We have learnt that the company is therefore opting to discontinue. RAP being put into effect, is the only way the project can continue", he disclosed.The road construction is being undertaken by CHICO, a Chinese construction company.The Public Works Assistant Minister promised to apply all efforts in addressing the concerns of the Police Academy residents."We are going to contact the management of CHICO to sprinkle water on the road in order to reduce the dust as part of their social responsibility," he concluded.The Daily Observer contacted the management of CHICO and will tackle the story from their angle in a follow-up article.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
JustPrince
It all started when a very emotional Ebola track "Ebola stay away from Africa" was aired on Hottfm 107.9 on "Disturbing the Peace's" late night radio show.Nearly a hundred callers called in wanting to know more about the artist behind the song, and why Ebola mattered to him so much.Luckily, we were able to contact the Liberian performer who's been contributing for many years of essential instrumentals, songs and hope for Liberian music.Prince Sherman Thomas, commonly known as 'JustPrince' is an artist worth talking about; he's also the powerful voice behind the Ebola track. He's been adding flavor to some of your favorite songs and working with some Gospel and R&B headliners."I have been fortunate to work with big artists such as Jeff Majors and Trinitee 5-7. I was also on a production team for Whitney Houston. I am a member of Glorious Lamps International and we were privileged to be in a concert with Hezekiah Walker. And on a more international level, I have worked with Sonnie Badu and the Prophet Seth Bah," JustPrince says.What's important in this deadly Ebola fight knowing that spirited people such as JustPrince feels the pain of those who have been affected directly. According to him, he came out with the emotional track "Ebola stay away from Africa" after learning he had also lost a relative to the deadly disease."I became inspired to do the Ebola song following the death of my cousin Sharon Washington from the virus. In my grief, the words "Ebola stay away from Africa" came to me and I immediately got up around two in the morning and went to the studio to record it," he shared.Though many Liberians have stories to tell about their own experiences, we hope that one-day they all will be told. While Ebola is said to be slowly winding down in these parts, there's another battle to be fought: the fact that many Liberians at home and abroad are being stigmatized."Ebola has affected me as a Liberian who is here in America because it's my home and day by day I am hearing and watching my fellow country men and women passing away. Food is said to be scarce because the markets can't open. I personally still have family back home whom I'm unable to protect. I would like to encourage all those in Africa who have been plagued by the Ebola virus to stay prayerful, continue to trust in GOD who is the master healer. It may not seem like it right now, but Ebola will pass," he says.JustPrince has been musically gifted for quite awhile, and has his own story to tell. The strong spirit that can be felt through his voice in his Ebola track doesn't just come from deep within. But the force in his lyrics comes from a past that he didn't mind sharing with LIB LIFE."As an artist in the gospel spectrum, I reflect back from time to time on some of the things God has allowed me to go through," he narrates. "I started to play the piano at a very young age and over time I was given many opportunities for my skills to grow. But as a young child, I became seriously ill. I was so sick that I was literally knocking on death's door, but GOD healed me."I chose to be a gospel artist because I grew up in a Christian home. Over the years God has done many great things in my life. For instance, during the war, one of the rebel soldiers wanted to execute me and again GOD delivered me," he testified.Meanwhile, JustPrince has made a lot of hearts warmer through his Ebola track. He has helped many to cope with the reality of the damage caused by Ebola when it's eradicated. He's also helping to develop the capacities of other Liberian musical artists. The latest about to grow under his tutelage will be the Liberian gospel vocal powerhouse, Bernice Blackie, who is presently in the USA."I have had the great pleasure in giving back to the Liberian community musically and the joy of building up artists and watching them grow into their GOD given potential."Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) read more
Over 500 online signatures gathered to save historical gallery
Relocation of Walter Roth MuseumGovernment seems to be clueless about where it will be relocating the Walter Roth Museum, and as the days progress, Guyanese from all walks of life are expressing their disappointment at such a move.People's Progressive Party Chief Whip Gail Teixeira on Friday said the more than 500 online signatures to the petition to save the museum, has also seen widespread condemnation for the move by the Ministry of the Presidency to have the museum relocated:"The latest insult of Government to the Amerindian citizen is the move by the President to remove the Walter Roth Museum and the way it was done by having GDF soldiers moving in to inform staff that they had to move was even scarier."The current location of the Walter Roth MuseumShe said the museum is a "living tribute to the Amerindian Peoples of Guyana from prehistoric times to now." Ironically, she said, like the decision to relocate the Stabroek Market vendors or close the Wales Sugar Estate, "they have no clue where they are relocating this museum" as a mandate given by Junior Minister of Public Infrastructure Annette Ferguson has been unsuccessful.Last week, the Ministry of the Presidency said it was removing the Walter Roth Museum and its employees to the National Museum by the end of the year. This announcement came one day after Guyana Times broke the story about government's plan to move the museum.The museum was founded with the collections of Guyanese Archaeologist, Dr Denis Williams and in 1980, the ethnographic collections of Dr Walter Roth, Mr JJ Quelch and Sir Everardim Thurn were transferred to the museum from the National Museum. The Walter Roth collections also include excavated artefacts from all 10 Administrative Regions.Former Culture, Youth and Sport Minister, Dr Frank Anthony, had stated that the museum is an institution and instead of dismantling it, "we have to be preserving it and growing it because it has a very important role to play in Guyana."Dr Anthony said he does not think the President is aware of the space the National Museum has, since it has been overcrowded with its artefacts: "They cannot display their current holdings because there is a lack of space and to move an entire museum and somehow cram it into the space of the National Museum, I don't think that is possible."Dr Anthony added that if it is true the President wanted all the museums in one place then the Government would have to construct another building and he does not believe that they are rebuilding the current museum, and "if they are doing that, where are they getting the budget from because there was no budget voted in 2016 for it."The Walter Roth Museum was established in 1974 but did not open to the public until 1982. It is located on Main Street, Georgetown and is famous for its journals in some of the leading universities of the world. read more
Gov't must do more to encourage investment – outgoing GCCI President
The 127th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the Georgetown Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI), held at Duke Lodge in Kingston, Georgetown on Thursday, saw calls being made for the Government to be bold in creating legislation and a tax structure that would encourage, rather than deter, investment.Outgoing President of GCCI, Vishnu Doerga, expressed the need for more legislation to be tabled that would create opportunities to lift Guyanese out of poverty. He pointed out that the private sector is a key stakeholder in the fight against poverty, since it creates the majority of employment.A section of the gathering of business leaders and representatives"We want a tax structure that will reduce the burden and incentivize growth for the compliant. I must stress for the compliant, because we seem to be in a (situation wherein) the compliant pays for the non-compliant," he expressed.Doerga says there is need for legislation to be created where absent, or amended where present, in order to improve opportunities for investment. He said investors need to know that they can get a return while at the same time creating higher paying jobs for the local workforce and increased value- added services and products."We still have the outstanding issue of how (to) deal with the allocation to SMEs (Small-Medium Enterprises) procurement across all our agencies, and then in terms of our commercial law. How do we start focusing on our legal framework so that it makes it easier for people to get legal resolutions to civil conflicts?" he asked.The business executive posited that if an investor wanted to do business but knew there was a risk that litigation may take years to get a result, then that investor may rather not invest. Hence he emphasized the need to make the environment more conducive for doing business.We've seen movement in that direction. And that is what we will keep (advocating) for," he declared. "We've also noticed, over the past few years, that while we have been getting early budgets, timely spending of such approved budgetary measures will provide the needed financial stimulus to energize our economy. It's excellent that our budgets keep increasing. We know it's being funded with the taxation that also increases hand in hand. But (if) the money isn't spent and it doesn't find its way back into the economy, it is of no use," he explained.He expressed worry that while Guyana has been saving money, but tracing the money and ensuring that it is directed in a way that contributes to national development would be a challenge. He was nevertheless optimistic that transformation was on the horizon for Guyana."Transformation is inevitable, especially if we look at 2019 and beyond. Guyana will definitely be transformed, but will it be a wealthy, prosperous state, or will we remain for our entire history the land of much potential?" he asked.Doerga disclosed that for the past year, the GCCI has been fixing its internal structural weaknesses. The executive stated that GCCI is upgrading its human resources, and will be aiming to provide more training, support, and add more skills to the organization.Doerga has, over the past year, been outspoken on matters of taxation; in particular the 14 percent Value Added Tax (VAT) which has been placed on private education as well as utility services such as water and electrical. He has also made clear his opposition to the controversial Georgetown parking meter project.The election of the 2016/2017 GCCI council is expected to take place by next week, after which a new executive will take over the reins from Doerga, owner of Doerga Business Enterprises.The GCCI is the oldest private sector representative organization in Guyana. Established in 1889, it is a member-driven and professionally staffed non-profit association of business people who are committed to improving the economic climate and quality of life in Guyana. The GCCI's mission is to represent the voice of the business community in Guyana, and to advocate policies that would stimulate trade and investment, connect businesses, sustain economic growth and expand member opportunities. All of this is with the aim of contributing to a stable and sustainable economic and social environment in Guyana, wherein businesses can prosper. read more
AFC hints at leaving Coalition after talks breakdown
The Alliance For Change (AFC) Thursday hinted strongly at the possibility of leaving the coalition with the A Partnership for National Unity (APNU) after talks regarding their Prime Ministerial candidate reached a stalemate.The AFC has made it clear that their Leader Khemraj Ramjattan should be the Prime Ministerial candidate. However, their partner, the APNU, prefers someone else as President David Granger's running mate.Both parties were in talks over the revision of the Cummingsburg Accord including the selection of a Prime Ministerial candidate. However, those talks have since been stalled owing to both sides refusing to budge on their positions."We don't accept that any other party should tell us or dictate to us who we should choose as our Prime Ministerial candidate. Why should we go back to our membership to say let's have another discussion…on what basis?" Dominic Gaskin contended during a press conference today."The AFC should name the Prime Ministerial candidate and the APNU should name the Presidential candidate…It's non-negotiable for us," Gaskin posited.Moreover, party executives gave strong hints about the possibility of leaving the coalition if Ramjattan is not accepted at the Prime Ministerial candidate."We are the Alliance for Change and I think we have always said that we are here to form alliances for the benefit of Guyana. So, we have no inherent opposition to forming alliances with anyone," Gaskin said. read more
Prehistoric horse bone found in the Peace River Valley
"The Valley and its significance to the Treaty 8 First Nations is irreplaceable and the construction of the Site C Dam would be the final nail in the coffin to its already fragile ecosystem, which supports the First Nation people who have lived in this region for at least 500 generations," writes Treaty 8 Tribal Association.The Peace River Valley is a part of the Treaty 8 landscape – acting as a school, church, pharmacy and grocery store.The story is told that in 2014, Shawn Bigfoot, a Prophet River First Nation member, found the horse bone around a gravel pit along the banks of Peace River.- Advertisement -"The Peace River Valley is home to a tremendous number of First Nations archaeological deposits and cultural sites that date back to the end of the last ice age," the association writes. "These values are complemented by diverse and prolific paleontological resources found there as well."At first, Mr. Bigfoot was unsure of what he found."After Shawn found the bone, he contacted me and told me of his find; he said it looks very old," the association quotes Diane Bigfoot, Shawn's mother, as saying. "I decided to take the bone to Treaty 8 and see if we could get it identified. We just did not realize at the time, we were holding a piece of history 30,000 years old."Advertisement Confirmation of the age of the bone and its species of origin, through radio carbon dating and analysis, was completed with the assistance of archaeologist Dr. Jon Driver from Simon Fraser University, according to the association.The communities of Prophet River First Nation, West Moberly First Nations and McLeod Lake Indian Band are in B.C. Supreme Court today arguing their opposition to Site C. read more
Mane insists Liverpool will not 'choke'
admin tdofbszp January 6, 2020 No Comments
Pep Guardiola has warned Liverpool of the pressures of being Premier League leaders but Mane expects his team-mates to cope with the run-in, as they look to end the club's 29-year wait for the title.He said: "This is not a team of chokers. I am sure we will be champions of England."When I wake up, I don't go to the training ground thinking we will not win. We are determined to show we are the best team in the league."Liverpool's last serious title challenge came during the 2013-14 season when the club finished two points behind Manchester City under Brendan Rodgers.A costly 2-0 defeat to Chelsea at Anfield, coupled with a 3-3 draw with Crystal Palace in the penultimate game of the season, allowed City to come from behind and claim the title.Mane says the current squad will use that disappointment as motivation in the second half of the season.He said: "It is not easy to hear people accuse the team of being chokers but we have to ignore it and focus on what is in front of us."Liverpool had the chance to win it a few years ago and did not do it but I prefer to think it helped to bring us where we are now."This is not a team of chokers.

Microsoft is allegedly wheeling out Bill Gates and design chief J Allard for a special event on Wednesday that will see the company announce a trio of new Zune portable media players.
Some of the new models will be flash memory-based and have a similar form factor to the Apple iPod nano. They will feature a high-resolution colour screen with video playback, Wi-Fi and more storage than their rivals, according to Beta News.
ZuneScene has also published photos of what could be the new players - they show two flash-based models and one hard disk drive version. Microsoft has apparently chosen pink, brown and black colour schemes for the new models.
Microsoft's Robbie Bach said in May that it had sold over one million Zunes in the US since it launched in November 2006.
However it still has one heck of a way to go to catch up with Apple, which is expected to sell 68 million IPods this year alone. Cumulative iPod sales since its launch 2001 are said to be in the region of 150 million.

The blinds at Fuel & Fuddle, 212 Oakland Ave., are drawn, the inside is dark, and a note on the front door reads, "Closed for some renovations. We'll see you soon!" But the reopening date is undetermined.
The popular central Oakland restaurant and bar closed for renovations after a ductwork malfunction filled its kitchen with smoke on April 28. The Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire received a report that evening of "smoke coming [from] electrical wires in a vent" at 218 Oakland Ave., according to Pittsburgh Public Safety spokesperson Sonya Toler.
Shoefitr, a company the helps consumers buy shoes online, is located at 218 Oakland Ave., and its space extends above the restaurant.
Toler said in an email that faulty wiring caused the incident and that the estimated cost of damage is $11,000. No injuries were reported, she said.
Vic Bovalino, the restaurant's director of operations, said the malfunction and its consequences were "not a big deal," as only the pizza oven and its duct were affected. During the search for contractors to fix the damage, he said the unexpected closure will be used productively for usual summer duties, including painting and heavy cleaning. Bovalino declined to comment on whether there will be any extensive renovations or remodeling to the restaurant. It is Fuel & Fuddle's company policy for Bovalino to answer any and all inquiries on the restaurant.
Alexandrea Milton, a server on duty at the time of the incident, said she saw "a ton of smoke coming out of the pizza oven" when she entered the kitchen.
"Nobody knew what was going on," Milton said.
She said the smoke spread to Shoefitr, where someone then notified the fire department.
The building was evacuated, Milton said. Four fire trucks arrived and firefighters remained there for about an hour and a half. Fuel & Fuddle was closed later that evening, she said.
The fate of Fuel & Fuddle's employees is uncertain.
There is no telling when Fuel & Fuddle will reopen, but Bovalino said it will be "as quickly as possible." The repair job is small enough that it is difficult to immediately find contractors to do it, he said, as they are more eager to pounce on the more lucrative jobs.

Security forces disband terrorist team in northwestern Iran
FNA- Security forces in the Northwestern province of West Azarbaijan arrested members of a terrorist team who plotted to conduct sabotage acts and assassinations in Iran.
"(The members of) a group which aimed to carry out sabotage operations in the province (West Azarbaijan) and assassinate at least 10 figures were arrested by the security forces," Commander of West Azarbaijan province's Law Enforcement Police Brigadier General Nasser Aslani said on Sunday evening.
In relevant remarks last Wednesday, Iranian Intelligence Minister Seyed Mahmoud Alavi announced that the country's security forces had disbanded hundreds of terrorist teams in the past few years.
"Fortunately, due to the vigilance and efforts of the Iranian security forces, 300 terrorist teams which intended to foment unrests, plant bombs and conduct terrorist acts have been identified and disbanded," Alavi said, addressing a large number of people in the Northwestern city of Maraqeh.
He underlined that despite the fact that the region is in critical conditions, the Iranian military and security forces are always vigilant and ready to confront threats.
Alavi announced last December that his forces had disbanded tens of terrorist teams.
"The enemies want to challenge security in the country," Alavi said, addressing a meeting in Alborz province near Tehran.
He stressed the need for the Iranian security forces to keep vigilant against enemies' plots, and said, "Over 120 terrorist teams which sought to carry out sabotage acts in Iran have been disbanded."
Also, earlier this month, the Iranian border guards repulsed a terrorist attack against a watchtower in the Southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan after heavy clashes with the militants.
The public relations department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Ground Force's Quds Base announced in a statement that a terrorist team attacked a Law Enforcement Police Force's watchtower in Mirjaveh region early April 17 from Pakistan to seize its control but they were pushed back by the border guards.
It added that during the clashes, three terrorists were killed and a number of others were wounded or fled the scene.
Meantime, Deputy Border Guards Commander of Sistan and Balouchestan province for Social Affairs Major Abolhassan Ziyayee said that 2 Iranian border guards and 2 Basiji (volunteer) forces were martyred during the clashes with the terrorists.

One of our staff, Abi, braving the cold to man our market stall, helping us to spread the word about what we're getting up to.
Once a month until June 2016 we will have a stall present at Warwick Market. This will allow everyone to stay abreast of our progress with the Market Hall renovations and to keep updated as to what our plans are ahead of reopening. We will have draft floor plans available, showing what the museum will hopefully look like once the renovations are complete. Additionally, we will also be using this opportunity to highlight this website, and we encourage everyone to get involved and share their thoughts on and memories of the county.
Our stall each month will have a theme, running alongside the Our Warwickshire Project, linked to events happening across the county and the redevelopment of the Market Hall Museum. Some of the themes we will be visiting include the Sheldon Tapestry, opportunities for volunteering with Heritage and Culture Warwickshire, and the access panel, taking place on Disability Access Day1. In addition, we will have a handling box containing objects linked to the three new themes which will form the basis of the museum's displays – Getting Here, Living Here, and Made Here.
If you're around this Saturday, please stop by to have a chat with our staff; feel free to discuss the Market Hall renovations and this website – we'd love to hear from you!
Heritage and Culture Warwickshire is looking for groups that want to find out more about the Our Warwickshire website. We can offer free sessions to groups from January to July 2016, at venues around the county and this will be a chance to see the website, discuss what's been posted, and find out how to get involved. If your venue has Wi-Fi, or computers, the session can be practical. We can also bring a portable scanner if you have images to add to the site.
For more information email Sarah Hann at sarahhann@warwickshire.gov.uk or phone 01926 736422.
We've also got callouts for both a visual artist and a storyteller for the Our Warwickshire Community Engagement Programme. Please open the attachment on this page to find out more.

Our good friends at Wedding Day Diamonds are really who helped to put us on the map in a big way. S0 – any time they ask for our help we jump at the opportunity.
Back when we very first started The Slow Motion Booth, Wedding Day Diamonds hired us to create a series of commercials which have now gathered almost 250,000 views! It was great to work with their creative team as we went back and forth on making a 30-60 video (all of our other videos were several minutes) but everyone had an awesome time and a great experience in making the videos.
At our latest event 'It's your Engagement' couples came to Pinstripes in Edina to hang out, have a few drinks, socialize, and of course – hit up The Slow Motion Booth! Fun was had by all and we look forward to the weddings that we will be shooting from some of the couples that we met that evening.
We always love doing events like this – something a bit smaller and more low key than our typical corporate events or weddings that we do. Its a bit more personal and relaxed and is always a good time. If you are thinking of a way to make your next small event a big success – don't hesitate to give us a call!
Thanks again to Wedding Day Diamonds for being one of our biggest supporters – can't wait to see what the future holds for both us!


"Hidden" ktichens are trending and Laboratorio Mattoni takes the concept to a new level by offering designs that completely conceal the cooktop and sink in the island. With the touch of a button, the stylish island top slides open to reveal the kitchen components you need to prepare meals, both big and small. When not in use, the modern marble countertop can be slid into place concealing all the fixtures and appliances. All the work and serving space you need with the touch of a button.


Ventura County's efforts to reduce impaired driving don't just mean targeting late night partiers, buzzed youth, or other "obvious" groups. People using standard medication might not know the dangers of what they take — and when they drive. They can be at danger for being stopped, and getting a DUI.
It's not about arresting more people. It's about getting them to think about their actions. Those labels say 'May cause drowsiness' or 'Do not operate heavy machinery.' Understand your car is heavy machinery.
The problem is real, and growing. The Ventura County District Attorney's Office filed criminal charges in 91 DUI drug cases over the first eight-plus months of 2015, nearly the same total as in all of 2014. Another 27 DUI cases involved drugs and alcohol.

Superb! Massimo Bottura and Luca Fantin collaboration at Bulgari Il Ristorante, Tokyo
Chef Massimo Bottura, of the exceptional Osteria Francescana in Modena, was in town for a couple of days earlier this week.
He was brought over as part of the remarkable and groundbreaking series of events, called "In Cibo Veritas" ("in food there is truth"), organised by Bulgari Il Ristorante in Ginza, featuring some of Italy's finest contemporary chefs.
As in the previous dinners (this was the 3rd of the 7-part series), it was a collaboration with Bulgari's own in-house chef supreme, Luca Fantin. It was (needless to say) memorable!
Having tasted Massimo's cuisine in Modena a couple of years ago (my blog post is here…), I was eager to see which of those classics he was going to serve in Tokyo. I was also really looking forward to trying some new dishes — as well as discovering more of Luca's beautiful creations.
I'll put some longer descriptions up later. For now I'm going to let the images speak for themselves. Starting with these appetizers…
…including this amazing rose (made with slivers of beet and rose jelly), inside an actual red rose on the stem:
• Gambero e carcciofi // Shrimp and artichokes (from Luca Fantin):
• Triglia all livornese // Mullet livornese style (from Massimo Bottura)
• Un capitone risale il fiume Po // An eel swimming up the Po river (Massimo Bottura)
• Carpaccio di verdure // Vegetable carpaccio (Luca Fantin)
• Riso cacio e pepe // Cheese and pepper risotto (Massimo Bottura)
• La parte croccante di una lasagna // The crunchy part of a lasagna (Massimo Bottura)
• Agnello paglia e fieno // Lamb "straw and hay" (Luca Fantin)…
The entrecôte of lamb (above) was accompanied by a rich broth made from lamb belly and onions:
• "surprise" (Massimo Bottura): "the first ever salad served as a pre-dessert"…
• Fragola // Strawberry (Luca Fantin)
• Ooops! mi è scivolata la crostatatina! // Ooops! I dropped the lemon tart! (Massimo Bottura)
• special balsamico di Modena
It was a more than just a superb banquet. It was a work of art and love!
Thank you Massimo. Thank you Luca. Thank you Bulgari!

seasonal brews 2: Tazawako Cherry Beer
And no better way to welcome the blossoms than a brew of Sakura Beer. It's from Tazawako Beer in Akita Pref., and it's made with a yeast that is (somehow) extracted from cherry trees — not clear about the science here, so if anyone can contribute...
Bottom line, though, is that it's excellent — and totally seasonal, of course — and so is Craft Beet Market Jimbocho, which is where we supped on it.
As always, there were plenty of good comestibles to go with it. Starting with a nice fresh salad of new-season shungiku (chrysanthemum) greens...
…and then the lamb tsukune — actually more like a giant Indian seekh kebab, with plenty of cumin in that jumbo patty.
Great stuff — in fact, worth a lingering close-up...
What a buzzy fun place it is, Craft Beer Market. Just don't go along expecting a pub. It's not, it's closer to an izakaya in feel. You go for the food as much as the (excellent and well-priced) drink. If the tables are full, you just have to wait — and most nights you won't be the only people on the waiting list.
Here's the relevant section of the menu...
Here's a link to my piece for CNN... What's changed since then is that as of last month, Craft Beer Market Jimbocho is now open on Saturdays. It's just as popular, though.
And hold your hats for the third Craft Beer Market. Before the summer is out!

Rouge, a wine bar with yakitori (it also serves vin blanc)
Time to shed more light on the source of that under-endowed Balkan sausage. As revealed in my Japan Times column last week, this is one of the highlights of the menu at Rouge, in the back streets of Kagurazaka.
What Rouge serves most of is grilled chicken on skewers. But don't call it a yakitoriya; it's far too well put together for that. Think of it instead as a wine bar that does a great little line in charcoal grilled foods.
It does plenty more as well. Even the otoshi starters are worth mentioning — bruschetta topped with fresh-made ratatouille...
From the hors d'oeuvres: marinated enoki mushrooms...
...and the chicken liver pâté, plain-looking but as good as any we've had at other gourmet yakitori joints.
But the primary focus at Rouge is the charcoal grill.
Most of the usual chicken cuts are represented. But instead of the thick shoyu-based tare basting sauce used at traditional yakitori shops, they are seasoned with mustard...
...or yuzu-kosho . Much better if you're drinking wine.
There's an interesting range of non-meat items too, including excellent plump shiitake...
...zucchini annointed with with yuzu miso...
...myoga buds with a "gratin" of lightly browned white miso...
...and even chunks of avocado — great with a spicy sprinkle of shichimi.
But, as mentioned, for us the stand-out item is the ćevapčići, little patties of minced lamb, served with a dab of grain mustard, salad greens and a grilled cherry tomato daubed with balsamic vinegar.
Here's a link to Rouge's home page...
And here's a map link...

An idiomatic miss here with this little, darling, silly little camera. First read says to me that crank+camera equals either, like..advance-the-image or, like..crank-the-moving-film through.
What strikes you immediately about the Sun & Cloud is its unusually cubic shape and the the folding hand crank and solar panel, already making this a camera not like others you have seen. Superheadz wanted to give users ultimate freedom, so they built a camera that can be charged without needing to be tethered to a wall. Even with a completely dead battery, crank the Sun & Cloud for just one minute and you'll have enough juice for between 4 and 8 pictures. With three customizable quick access buttons, you can easily select your favorite color and B&W filters. The Sun & Cloud is philosophically pure, and the lo-fi photos it takes reflect just that.
I'd much rather that if my imaging thing is going to have a crank on it. Like a moving film camera. Or even a still image camera with a crank..that advances the film. A bit heavy with irony, but a better start at the least. There are all sorts of new practices for image making that would come from enforcing old, relevant mechanical rituals in the age of digital things.
The hug-chest-palmss-on-cheeks // isn't it darling? sensibility of a camera that needs the sun to see makes me want to throw up forever.
I suppose the fact that this darling little thing lets me crank a bit to take a photo when, otherwise — a camera's battery may've gone flat is a bit of a thing. Like, when I used to shoot with an old Nikon F2A, I always knew I could take a photo even if the meter battery went out because it's 100% mechanical otherwise. But, still..

Kaito is very excited to offer you their first Kenyan coffee. This lot was sourced via their new partnership with Collaborative Coffee Source. The Gaturiri Factory, along with Karatina, Gatomboya and Karindundu factories, is part of the Barichu Cooperative Society in Karatina Town.
The Cooperative was registered in October 1996. The factory currently has 467 female and 804 male farmers that contribute their cherries. It also has its own plot of land with 1500 trees. The agronomist for the Cooperative uses it for training farmers. Proceeds from the sale of these cherries help fund the factory's operations. Its tasting notes are blackberry, stone fruit and lime.


There used to be days when you looked forward to getting dressed in the morning– you'd mix and match your way to a "perfect" outfit, proudly clomp down the stairs, and run to meet the school bus. Your style was… whimsical, to say the least– and you wouldn't have had it any other way. However those days were soon squashed out by judgmental peers and a sudden bout of extreme self-awareness. They were replaced by the daily zombie-like shuffle to the closet to behold an array of monotonous garb. Strike back against days spent in gray-scale with these cheerful chukkas by Yuketen. Whether you choose to beat the streets with pride or relinquish them to bedroom-slipper status until you muster up just a bit more courage, we won't judge. Baby steps, folks. Baby steps. Get them here.

66-year-old inmate found dead at Snake River Correctional Institute
Updated: Jan. 09, 2019, 10:30 p.m. | Published: Jun. 10, 2015, 9:41 p.m.
By Laura Gunderson | The Oregonian/OregonLive
James A. Papineau, an inmate at Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario, was found dead in his cell early Wednesday morning, according to the Oregon Department of Corrections.
James A. Papineau, 66, was found dead in his cell at the Snake River Correctional Institution on Wednesday morning.
A correctional officer found Papineau, who was alone a cell, at 7 a.m. The prison's medical staff attempted to resuscitate the 66-year-old but he was pronounced dead at 7:15 a.m. according to the state.
Oregon State Police are investigating the death.
Papineau had originally been convicted on multiple charges for crimes in Multnomah and Clackamas County, including robbery in the first degree, burglary in the first degree and coercion. He was paroled on May 3, 2004, but violated his parole.
He was returned to prison on Feb. 1, 2006, after being charged with multiple crimes including burglary and theft. He had at least 15 years remaining on his sentence when he died.
Corrections staff could not find Papineau's next of kin - he didn't list an emergency contact in his intake papers, said Betty Bernt, a corrections spokeswoman.
Anyone who knows Papineau is asked to contact the corrections department at 541-881-5029 or 503-945-9426.

At a time when immigration is a complex and controversial issue in the U.S., hearing a positive story of an immigrant family is always welcome. The cosmetics entrepreneur and founder of the LimeCrime brand, Doe Deere recently revealed her own feel-good story of overcoming the odds to find success in the U.S. After moving to New York from a small city in rural Russia as a teenager, the fashion influencer and her family hit rock bottom before bouncing back to find success on many different levels.
Taking the decision to move to New York City was not one the family of Xenia Vorotoza took lightly but was one they took in an effort to improve their lives. Vorotoza would go on to change her name to the anglicized, Doe Deere just before establishing her cosmetics brand, LimeCrime in 2008. LimeCrime was established a decade after the family arrived in New York and found the change in culture a shock they struggled to cope with as they underwent homelessness and living in shelters and Harlem's Projects.
The attitude of Doe Deere to the problems her family faced is one to be admired as she believes the issues they faced forged a resilient nature in herself, her mother, and sister. Although Doe Deere and her family had to pull themselves out of the poverty they faced in their first years n the U.S., the owner of the Poppy Angeloff jewelry line is quick to praise the efforts of those who helped them during those difficult years. Doe Deere praises the work of a charitable group, Sanctuary for Families and its head, Dorchen Leidholdt. Doe refers to Dorchen Leidholdt as her first mentor responsible for inspiring the teenaged immigrant to use her sketches to gain entry to the New York Institute of Fashion.
Doe Deere explains the success she has achieved is her own version of the "American Dream" she imagined achieving when she moved to the U.S. from Russia. Difficult times can prove a starting point for all residents of the U.S. to push on and achieve their own success story no matter where they start their lives.
