Rated 3 out of 5 by DS11 Disappointment this time around. Hi, My family and I have stayed at this Sheraton for the last 5-6 New Years Eves with great anticipation but we have noticed the quality of the hotel deteriorate during that time. We stay on a Club floor with the Club Lounge access. This year in particular we found the hallways and room looking tired and dark and in need of a makeover. We also found the bed to be not as comfortable as in the past, which was surprising as this is one of the "features" that you highlight. Also, why are there no fitted bottom sheets anymore? There's nothing worse then trying to sleep and the bottom sheet bunches up. The quality of the Club Lounge apps and continental breakfast was also sub-par this year. We order room service everytime we come and there were items missing and ice cream that was completely melted. We did not call room service about it as you never know if something would happen to your order at that point - not taking a chance. Anyway, I do not usually write these reviews but we were really disappointed with the little things this year and loved our experience in the past - but we'll probably be looking for a new place to celebrate New Years for 2014. Sincerely, D.S. January 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JS2010 Great Staff I stay at the hotel frequently and the staff is always welcoming and accommodative; especially on the Club Level. January 17, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by deto First time using SPG points We use this hotel whenever we stay in Toronto. It is conveniently located and we have never been dissapointed. I was apprehensive at first as I was using my points for the first time (it was combination of points and cash). I was not sure how hotels look at the people "freeloading" with points. I should not have been - within 1 minute of reaching the front desk, we were checked in early, upgraded to a 2 room suite (for more space) as we had a 3 year old son with us, our bed preference was changed as my wife decided at the last minute that she wants King instead of two beds and even offered late checkout as we were visiting new Toronto Aquarium in the morning. Basically, amazing service, hotel with great location, great price, amazing staff... What else could one need? This hotel has been around for a while now and rooms show some age in the wall corners and bathrooms, but everything was perfectly clean, furniture and plumbing was all new... Hotel is on the Path (underground pathways that connect all major buildings, shopping centres and attractions so that in the hot summer day or freezing winter day you never need to go outside to do anything). Thank you! Great job! November 14, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by DCFeb2013 Falls way short of SPG Standards I came to the hotel tired and wanted to get some rest...the room was extremely dry and made sleeping impossible! February 15, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by 12Ben34 The hotel has great features and the staff is very friendly I had a couple of issues upon checking in but the staff solved them very quickly. Great hotel for conventions. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by basset clean, fine and organized gentle personnel, hotel clean, quiet, well organized. Very good restaurant and bar; central position, near bay. June 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by PattyMarie Above and Beyond Booked another sheraton instead but front desk made room for me even though the hotel was sold out. Thank you! April 20, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tamalla Great stay for a conference This was my second time to this establishment this year and the accomodations for conferences are amazing. November 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mary260 Front desk were very helpful and accomodating. We had some issues checking in but Marilyn at the front desk was very helpful. View from the room was great!! June 24, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by toomuchwork Great Location/Friendly staff Wonderful location downtown Toronto. Easy access to Eaton Center for holiday shopping and access to subways. November 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 Hotel was nice but parking is expensive, no internet and no breakfast and no phone not even local calls. Room was nice and bed was very comfortable. It was clean. The only concern was anything extra will cost you. January 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by woarbob Folio I was not emailed my folio automatically like all other Sheraton does fo rme. I have yet to receive it!!!!! September 27, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by William60 All you could ask for! The staff went out of their way to please. The "Club Level" staff understood the needs of a 'young family.' March 17, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by JAAR Watch out for SPG Options Good hotel but front desk needs training. Long lines and lack of full understanding of SPG amenities exist. June 3, 2013

Fusing the graceful gestures of ballet and Pilates, the Xtend Barre workout challenges all body parts through a series of isometric exercises and orthopedic stretches. The briskly paced, 55-minute workout sculpts and lengthens muscles in the style of traditional Pilates while also increasing one's awareness of posture and the prevalence of squirrels in pink tutus. Xtend's torso-twisting staff will help sculpt bodies proportionally, toning arms, thighs, and lifted derrieres, and can modify workouts for beginners, prenatal clients, or clients with injuries. Offering classes seven days a week, Xtend Barre SLC asks students to arrive for class sporting either socks (grip socks recommended) or suction-bottomed toe rings.
Salt Lake Fencing's skilled instructor fuels friendly athletic competition by adaptating fencing techniques to each guest's form and ability. During two-hour group fencing lessons, the savvy instructor gives beginner to intermediate swashbucklers a brief tour of fencing's noble history while elucidating the weapons, basic attack moves, and this season's most stylish sword holsters. Rapiers in hand, masked guests learn and execute horseless jousts, lithe lunges, intricate footwork, and deft parries while dodging swift jabs and slices. Fledgling swordsmen work up to partaking in a real fencing duel, crossing blades with fellow dueling enthusiasts and freshly made mortal enemies to thwart the rise of such modern fighting techniques as eye pokes and selling false stories to the National Enquirer.
As a dancer and instructor, Tiffany Enger has pirouetted through world-renowned institutions such as Steps, The Broadway Dance Center, and Joffrey Ballet School. Today, at Just Dance Academy, she and her staff of dance professionals help ignite passion for the art form in children as young as 3 years old. Though their classes build strong foundations in ballet, hip-hop, and other styles, benefits extend beyond just technical dance skills. The instructors strive to help each pupil become comfortable with self-expression and creativity during recitals and state-mandated flash mobs as well as auditions for the studio's competition teams.
Academy West gives restless young Utahns a chance to expend excess energy in the form of choreographed dance, tumbling, cheer, or gymnastics classes. The adroit staff of CPR-certified safety gurus is composed of deft dancers and top-notch tumblers who teach thrilling routines to children craving more choreography in their lives. The 22,000-square-foot facility is packed with high-quality equipment and enough protective foam to swaddle a Herculean toddler attempting a triple aerial in place of his or her first steps.
The dress code of each fitness class at Onyx tells a lot about the curriculum: the shorter the shorts, the better in the pole fitness classes, as contact between the bare skin and the pole helps keeps students in gravity-defying inversion. Meanwhile, it's better to wear long pants for the aerial fitness classes—you can avoid rope burn this way while climbing the silks that hang in the spacious aerial studio. These two types of classes make up the majority of Onyx Pole and Aerial Fitness Studio's classes, and though the classes are fun, the instructors take the fitness aspect seriously, too. To that end, they offer boot camp, bodyrock, and core pole classes to help students achieve their overall fitness goals.
Darla Davis can fly. Suspended from long, flowing silks, she tumbles through the air with grace and elegance, creating movement that's athletically and aesthetically impressive at the same time. An experienced performer, she has honed her skills on the aerial silks with guidance from some of the same trainers who work with Cirque du Soleil. When she's not performing, Davis introduces others to the world of aerial acrobatics, teaching children and adults challenging and exhilarating moves. Classes at her sunny studio include hand/body balance and aerial yoga.

Bey Teases "50 Shades"
by Mike Stanz
posted Jul 22 2014 5:00AM
They're calling it a teaser trailer. Beyonce posted this to her Instagram account over the weekend, leading people to believe that her music will be on the soundtrack for
50 Shades of Grey
No official word yet on Queen Bey's involvement – not yet, anyway. The official first trailer for the film is due on Thursday, and there could be some news then.
A thought. In the context of the subject of the film and the book upon which it's based, maybe "teaser" trailer isn't the right expression.
Then again, it's perfect, isn't it?

RNC Up To No Good - What I Received In My EmailSubmitted by lamborghini_man on Thu, 05/31/2012 - 22:15
I am disappointed my information somehow got to this campaign. I received it tonight but I have no clue how. I took 2 screen shots of the email. Pay attention to the bottom of the page of the email. The blue box with small text, I found this interesting.
I also unsubscribed to the email, hopefully they will get the hint.
Has anyone else got this same email?
Text that is in Question:
Paid for by Romney Victory, Inc., a joint fundraising committee authorized by and composed of Romney for President, Inc., the Republican National Committee, the Idaho Republican Party, the Massachusetts Republican Party, the Oklahoma Leadership Council, the Vermont Republican Federal Election Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the National Republican Congressional Committee.

Iowa to Open 12 Victory Offices Around State For Donations.
I recently visited the Iowa State Republican Party Headquarters. I had called 3 weeks before to volunteer for collecting donations especially since Ron Paul had a large amount of the Iowa delegates. I asked to speak to the Iowa Chairman A. J. Spiker when I called but the woman Office Manager said he was busy. Now I was there in person. i asked to speak to A J Spiker, once again. The Office Manager went in his office and closed the door behind her, then a minute later she came out and said he was "busy". So he did not even come out to shake my hand or say "hi". I asked for a tour of the office and it was like pulling fingernails. I offered to show my Republican card and/or my drivers license, they declined. They were sort of unfriendly. I finally said if they gave me a tour of the offices upstairs, I would go home. So finally I got a tour thru the building. I do not know what was the big deal. There were a couple of young fellows and a gal working up there on phones. On the first floor there is only an empty kitchen, an empty big meeting room and the offices of the Office Manager and A.J. Spiker. I have gotten quick tours in former years. But anyway, it was from the gal of upstairs, that I found out about the 12 Victory offices to be opened in early June. They said all their bills were paid. Sounds like they are still getting donations inspite of Ron Paul getting delegates. When I got home, I saw no reason to have A.J. Spiker, the Iowa chairperson as my Facebook "friend", so I defriended him.
Nice names for the pictures! Hahaha
I received a different email with the same blue box
Mine was from Ann Romney. I actually did sign up to receive the emails, because I wanted to see what shenanigans they were up to, and sure enough, they delivered!
By claiming there is no conspiracy, you prove to those who believe in the conspiracy that you are part of the conspiracy.
RP supporters should flood this contest
We should flood this contest(the non fundraising part of it), then if a RP supporter gets picked, we should grill romney hard, ON CAMERA, why he supports the NDAA and all that other stuff that is anti American.
Then make it go viral.
nevermind for this one, to late... but flood it on the next one
Tools of war are not always obvious. The worst weapon is an idea planted in the mind of man. Prejudices can kill, suspicion can destroy, and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has an everlasting fallout all of its own.
No purchase necessary
Contributing does not increase your odds. you may enter the contest without contributing...
You know what would be hilarious? A table full of ron supporters asking inquisitive questions of old presumpty dumpty :D
I haven't got any emails yet but I did receive a letter today
asking for money. I didn't read his damn letter that was 2 pages. The only reason I know he wanted money is because their was an envelope enclosed asking for a donation. Several weeks ago I got an expensive campaign letter with an 8 x 11 glossy picture enclosed with Mitt next to an old barn and the American Flag hanging on it. He was asking for money then too. I live in California so he is trying his hardest to get real votes from real people. Of course, he knows if he doesn't get the votes, they will flip enough votes so he can win. The only person getting my vote is Ron Paul!
Yeah, that barn picture of Mitt...he was wearing Mom Jeans!
Obama wears Mom Jeans too. Ron Paul wears Levis and they look like he wears them to work in.
I've been getting those too.
I've been getting those too. It is addressed to me in a unique name that I used when I signed up for some RNC website, but I can't remember what website. So, they got our emails from a website you must have signed up for to vote or defend RP.
Sounds like electioneering to me. I wish Doug Wead would
at least tell us if they are working on something in some way with LAWYERS.
Sounds like we could get an INJUNCTION with something like this.
He REALLY needs thousands of
He REALLY needs thousands of small donors so he can hide that the big corps are financing him. It is so sad, the GOP is so horrible at picking a decent candidate. Ron would CREAM Obama, and Romney will probably concede in the first 5 mins like McCain did.
And they're doing it like people are winning something special
Win a chance to eat with Obamitt!
Ha, Ha! Obamitt????
Is it just me or does that sound like 'O' vomit???
OMG!! I couldn't resist! Thanks, I needed a great laugh! Last one that I laughed as hard about was Newt's Poor Lip Reading segment on YT.
Oh vomit, or Oh bomb it
Take your pick.
This needs to be forwarded to
the legal team, if there is one. This is illegal as hell. What's more, then actually ADMIT who it's funded by! It actual proof!
So the Idaho State Republican Party is paying into a fund that is going directly to Romney and their state convention hasn't even occurred yet.
Idaho Republican State Convention June 21 - 23
thats what I found
thats what I found interesting; how can they do this?
Is this what it LOOKS LIKE?!?!?
Destination, date, ground transportation- all determined by the party for two days. Hmmm. Now let me see. I wonder if that could be Tampa???
I can't believe this!!!! This is ROTTEN!!!
Sounds like the "winners" will be annointed delegates for those shadow parties.
I bet Mitt is Worried That A Lot of His Delegates Aren't Going
to show up at the convention. Where as Ron Paul delegates are anxious to go to the convention and win it for him, including those who are delegates for Mitt. Winning!!! Mitt, RNC, the establishment, etc. will cheat, lie, and do whatever it takes to steal this nomination from Paul. I just hope we can stop them.
Yeah Thats the link to make
Yeah Thats the link to make the donation, I will post the text in question.
I think the whole thing is in question.
A total of 80 winners will be randomly drawn and then narrowed down by the Sponsor to "select two (2) winners best representing, in the sole judgment of Sponsor, Mitt Romney's support across the country..."- ending up with a total of four prize winners.
Also this rule below makes the randomness of the winning even more suspect. One day to respond with all the signed documents? This ain't no happy-clappy trip to DisneyWorld.
"The winner must respond to his/her notification and complete and return all required documents within one (1) day of notification in order to be awarded the Prize. If the winner does not meet eligibility requirements, fails to respond to the notification within one (1) day, or fails to return the signed documents within one (1) day, he or she will be disqualified, and an alternate winner will be selected from the remaining entries, in the same manner as outlined above. The identity of the winner's guest is subject to approval by Sponsor, and Sponsor may, at its sole discretion, conduct background checks on potential guests..."
I got it and didn't bother to
I got it and didn't bother to unsubscribe, I bounced it back to the sender :P
Those are a bunch ofthe shadow parties
on the bottom.
Well, we can just make
Ron Paul our "shadow" president, no matter what happens.

I would do it... but only if the "bite" was a zombie bite to the frontal lobe miami naked man style

Obamny voters!

Because it sounds like Oh vomit.
You should post the link to the one that does not require a donation to enter. I would love to grab a meal with Mitt and ask him about his policies.

NEW YORK (AP) — Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were married Saturday in Correns, France, a spokesman for the couple says.Jolie and Pitt wed in a small chapel in a private ceremony attended by family and friends at Chateau Miraval. In advance of the nondenominational civil ceremony, Pitt and Jolie obtained a marriage license from a local California judge. The judge also conducted the ceremony in France.
NEW YORK — Lauren Bacall, the slinky, sultry-voiced actress who created on-screen magic with Humphrey Bogart in "To Have and Have Not" and "The Big Sleep" and off-screen magic in one of Hollywood's most storied marriages, died Tuesday at age 89.Bacall, whose long career brought two Tonys and a special Oscar, died in New York. The managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Estate, Robbert J.F. de Klerk, said that Bacall died at home, but declined to give further details. Bacall's son Stephen Bogart confirmed his mother's death to de Klerk.
NEW YORK | "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" outmuscled a trio of new films, as the science fiction sequel topped the box office for the second-straight week with an estimated $36 million.
According to studio estimates Sunday, "Planet of the Apes" easily bested the horror thriller "The Purge: Anarchy." Universal's low-budget sequel to last year's surprise hit, "The Purge," opened with $28.4 million.
In third place is Disney's "Planes: Fire & Rescue," the animated sequel to 2013's "Planes." It made $18 million.
NEW YORK | "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" thumped its chest at the box office with a $73 million opening weekend.
According to studio estimates Sunday, Fox's "Planet of the Apes" sequel rode excellent reviews and high anticipation to one of the summer's best debuts. It easily surpassed the $54.8 million opening to 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes," the reboot of the 1970s chimp franchise.
NEW YORK | Robert Redford will play Dan Rather in a film about the former CBS anchor's disputed report about President George W. Bush's National Guard service.
The film, titled "Truth," will be adapted from the memoir "Truth And Duty: The Press, The President, And The Privilege Of Power" by former CBS producer Mary Mapes, said the production company, Mythology Entertainment. Cate Blanchett is signed on to play Mapes.
NEW YORK — The Fourth of July went off like a dud at the box office, as the Michael Bay sequel "Transformers: Age of Extinction" and the Melisa McCarthy comedy "Tammy" led the weakest summer holiday weekend in at least a decade.The North American box office was down a whopping 44 percent over the July Fourth weekend last year, when "Despicable Me 2" and "The Lone Ranger" opened.
NEW YORK | "Transformers: Age of Extinction" beat out Melissa McCarthy's "Tammy" on a weak July 4th weekend at the box office.
According to studio estimates Sunday, the fourth "Transformers" film made $36.4 million in its second week of release. It's a steep drop for the Paramount Pictures sequel, which had the year's biggest debut last weekend with $100 million.
NEW YORK | The Vegas ensemble comedy "Think Like a Man Too" topped the weekend box office with $30 million, besting blockbuster holdovers from last week and Clint Eastwood's new Four Seasons musical "Jersey Boys."According to studio estimates, the Kevin Hart sequel "Think Like a Man Too" narrowly edged out "22 Jump Street," which earned $29 million in its second week of release. The DreamWorks animated film "How to Train Your Dragon 2" slid to third with $25.3 million.
NEW YORK | Dave Chappelle's hesitant, slow-motion comeback reached a big-tent crescendo when the comic performed a nearly two-hour set at Radio City Music Hall that seemed to officially announce his long-awaited return.
NEW YORK | With a $48.2 million debut, the young-adult romance "The Fault in Our Stars" thumped the time-shifting Tom Cruise action film "Edge of Tomorrow" at the weekend box office.
According to studio estimates Sunday, "Fault" easily topped the big-budget "Edge of Tomorrow," which took in $29.1 million. Despite some of the best reviews of Cruise's career, his sci-fi thriller was no match for the highly-anticipated adaptation of John Green's popular book.
The Disney fairy tale "Maleficent" with Angelina Jolie slid to second place in its second week, with $33.5 million.

Les Dawson – The Manchester school of philosophy
The comedian Les Dawson excelled as a stand-up and as an actor. What is often overlooked is his whimsical mastery over the English language.
Les Dawson,
Laugh With Les,
To celebrate Les Dawson solely as a reliable and rapid deliverer of crude mother-in-law jokes, is to do him a great disservice. True, he delivered many a gag about his wife over the years, as well as her supposedly gorgon-like mother, but Les Dawson had many other comedic talents that are underappreciated. There was the character actor who brought to life scripts and plays by the likes of Galton and Simpson, Roberto Cossa and Alan Plater. There was the comedian equally at home in TV sketch shows as he was performing stand-up late into the night at a boisterous working men's club. There was the consummate quiz show host ever so slightly at odds with the lavish television sets, forging a rare intimacy with contestants and audience alike. And then there was the writer and novelist, the constructor of intricate fanciful prose as whimsical, rich and playful as anything ever heard on a comedy stage.
In his 1985 autobiography A Clown Too Many, Les Dawson describes Collyhurst, the Manchester suburb where he was born back in 1931. The words that he uses, the turns of phrase he conjures, and the images he conveys emerge every bit as vivid and evocative as an LS Lowry street scene. The grimy dark streets wreathed in smoke are a world full of, "teeming running fighting children, never pausing for breath as they dart down drain-blocked alleyways…" The poetic turns of phrase and literary leanings of Les Dawson find full reign in that description, inspired by his hard upbringing, thwarted ambition and multifarious struggles. Time and again, that same mastery over words would appear in his comedy.
The various working class areas of Manchester where Les's family lived over the years did not provide the sort of environment that would normally encourage any intellectual leanings or idle comic musings. Career aspirations for Les and his neighbours did not extend much beyond 'learning a trade' or if really lucky, securing a steady job in a shop or an office. A mediocre student at best, Les Dawson left school at the age of 14 and embarked on the first of many ill-suited jobs in the drapery department of the Co-Op Manchester. He would go on to be an equally inept electrician, newspaper reporter, dishwasher and door-to-door salesman.
It is perhaps only the fact that Les Dawson proved so utterly hopeless at every single trade and profession he attempted to make a living from, that the British public were able to eventually enjoy his comedic output. Les's breakthrough into comedy was driven by a fierce and relentless ambition. Not the sort of ambition that propels someone to instant overnight fame and stardom, but rather an obdurate sense of determination that allowed him to take risks, suffer multiple failures and setbacks, until success eventually came.
Les's narrow horizons were expanded and ambitions first stirred during his National Service in post-war Germany. While no better at being a soldier than he was an electrician, and equally as dangerous to those around him, Les found that his piano playing abilities were enough to keep him ingratiated with his comrades. They also kept him out of military jail on a constant litany of charges caused by his unfailing ineptitude. After his spell in Germany, demobbed and back in Manchester, it was not long before Les felt the urge to try his luck on the continent again and decamped aboard to try his luck in Paris. Piano playing in brothels did not prove lucrative enough to sustain his dreams of living a bohemian aesthete's life on the banks of the Seine and he returned once again to Manchester.
One further trip away from Manchester might have proved enough to squash most aspiring showbiz ambitions. An unexpected and potentially lucrative offer to work with celebrated comedian Max Wall in London proved a false start as Wall became embroiled in an extra-marital affair which saw his career stall amid the prudish atmosphere of 1950's England. And so, with his big break gone, Les Dawson returned to Manchester, and became resigned to his familiar world of vacuum cleaner selling and occasional gigs on the Northern club circuit.
Les Dawson developed his act gradually over the years mixing his piano playing skills with comedy until, in 1964 and at the insistence of his wife he took the decision to apply for Opportunity Knocks, then the biggest TV talent show of the day. Les would go on to win the studio vote with his own unique blend of self-deprecation, world weary cynicism and earthy Northern humour, an act honed in the many years playing desperate soul-destroying gigs across the UK. That successful TV debut earned Les appearances on the televisual spectacular Blackpool Night Out. Performing an act forged in adversity and hardship made him stand out amongst the usual polished slick cabaret acts of the time, and in 1969 Les Dawson earned his first headlining TV show, Sez Les. He was at last a success, after only 38 years of toil! Les Dawson was rarely off the TV screens from 1969 until his untimely death in 1993, earning a place in the nation's heart that few comedians can aspire to.
Les's first vinyl album, An Evening With Les Dawson , was released in 1976. Recorded both in Manchester and London, the record was a mixture of live sketches featuring his by now well-known and established TV comedy characters, as well as two novelty songs recorded in the studio. When Dawson left Yorkshire TV to make programmes for the BBC in 1978, it consolidated Les's reputation and produced his second album in 1979.
Gathering material from his BBC Radio 2 series Listen To Les as well as the BBC One TV series The Dawson Watch, that 1979 record Laugh With Les contains many wonderful examples of what made Les Dawson an enduring and cherished comedy star. The tracks are split into 'dissertations' (that is to say convoluted rambling jokes), long musings on various topics, as well as tracks performed with Roy Barraclough, with the two comics in character as the gossiping housewives, Cissie and Ada.
The first dissertations delivered is The Barnsley Dracula, a rambling yarn that tells of Yorkshire's very own vampire, a certain Albert Shufflebotham killed by a consignment of silver tipped tripe only to be raised from the dead and married off to a pub landlady. Other dissertations deal with alien invasions and a continental coach holiday on a decrepit bus powered by 'swamp gas and bat droppings'. These long discourses allow Les to give full flight to his fancy and absurd imagination and are sprinkled with wonderful turns of phrase.
For all the killer one-liners, fanciful monologues and brilliant wordplay, it is the Cissie and Ada routines that are the undoubted highlights. Ada, played by Les is a lusty dreamer, thwarted in love and ambition, her speech peppered with malapropisms and innuendo. Cissie, played by Roy Barraclough, is her slightly more well-to-do friend, pretentious and with an affected air of refinement and superiority. Both are united in their love of gossip nattering and intrigue, and no topic is off limits as they discuss, love, money, robust Canadian soldiers, infirmity and scandal.
Cissie and Ada are easy to picture sipping tea in their garish frocks and curlers, putting the world to rights over a macaroon while engaging in the sort of philosophical symposia that Plato could only dream of. Here then to play us out are the erudite and learned logicians of Lancashire, Cissie and Ada, discussing how best to make ends meet. Their own ends, one hopes.
Jake Thackray – Not the North Country Noël
So much more than just a North Country Noël Coward, singer-songwriter Jake Thackray produced some enduringly witty and well-observed songs.
Jake Thackray,
Jake's Progress,
Columbia SCX 6345,
It seems that Jake Thackray is often compared to Noël Coward. Certainly his erudite, clipped, staccato tones are reminiscent of Coward's measured delivery, and it's true that both performers deliver self-penned songs infused with carefully observed wit and hilarity. But listen to the works of Jake Thackray and you will discover so much more than a singer in thrall to Noël Coward. For all Thackray's politely delivered words, his ditties so often deliver a turn of phrase or accent that instantly signals his upbringing in Leeds and his honest passionate love of the people and places of Yorkshire.
It is hard to imagine Noël Coward tackling the sort of topics that Jake Thackray does. Though both were born into unremarkable suburban families, Coward soon became part of the theatrical elite, adopting the airs and graces of the upper class to affect an accent and lifestyle far from that of his birth, gradually becoming more upper class than most of the upper class. Jake Thackray though wrote gleefully of jumble sales, buxom lasses, poultry and North Country buses. If Noël Coward had experienced the rough pleasures of any of those earthly delights, then his usually forthright and frank biographers have failed to record it.
Born in the West Riding of Yorkshire in 1938, Jake Thackray initially flirted with the notion of becoming a priest after attending St Michael's College in Leeds. Thankfully for the sake of music he instead decided to become a teacher and left the priesthood well alone to those of a more sober disposition. After graduating from Durham University, Jake spent almost four years teaching English in France, roaming across the country to schools in Brittany, Lille, the Pyrenees, and for a brief period Algeria. Upon his return to England in 1964, he took up a teaching position back in his native Leeds.
His French travels proved an important part in developing the Jake Thackray style of singing, far more than any cursory study of Coward's compositions he may have casually undertaken. It was in France that Jake Thackray first heard the likes of Georges Brassens and Jacques Brel, deeply passionate singer-songwriters in the chansonnier tradition who performed lewd, crude songs of love, suffering and desire. Thackray went on to collaborate with Brassens on tracks such as Brother Gorilla (Le Gorille). Initially though he remained a teacher, performing his songs in the classroom to a captive audience and in local pubs and clubs around Leeds and Bradford to a slightly less captive, but equally enthusiastic audience.
Regular spots on local radio and television brought Thackray's work to the attention of composer Brian Fahey who recommended him to the EMI record producer Norman Newell. Lured down to London, Newell recorded the sessions which would become Jake Thackray's 1967 debut album The Last Will and Testament of Jake Thackray and would go on to oversee all of Jake's subsequent studio releases.
Jake's Progress, Jake Thackray's second album released in 1969, bore witness to the fruits of his labours since the first album. Occasional appearances on the regional TV show Look North, had earned him a chance in 1968 to appear nationally on the BBC show Braden's Week, hosted by Canadian consumer champion Bernard Braden. Now broadcasting nationally, viewers were apparently appalled by the rough Yorkshireman with his bawdy suggestive songs. Jake's natural charm soon won the TV audiences over though and he stayed with Braden's Week until Braden himself left in 1972, subsequently joining the show's natural successor That's Life. The demands of the weekly topical consumer show format meant that Jake had to write and perform a song every week. While other performers could afford to craft their songs over months and years, Jake Thackray worked dedicatedly and diligently to produce the songs that made his name.
Jake's Progress showcases many of the regular themes of Jake Thackray's songs. The opening track Country Girl for instance, is that perfect blend of an outwardly respectable composition which hides a barely concealed licentiousness amongst its rough bucolic verses. Amidst the goat milking, church hall dances and catalogue clothes, there lurks a lustful maiden who thinks nothing of lying down in moonlit bracken with her many lovers before brushing the straw from her hair and returning to respectable society. If ever a song served to distance the earthy, shameless, observant humour of Jake Thackray from the staid considered wit of Noël Coward, then it would be this one.
More pastoral love scenes are enacted across the album. On The Blacksmith and the Toffee-Maker, Jake Thackray spins a comic yet tender tale of a shy blacksmith wooing a village toffee-maker pining away into a lonely spinsterhood. Salvation Army Girl features the respectable titular heroine playing her bugle in village pubs while all the time whispering sweet lusty promises to Jake. On the Shelf also features a woman on her own, coping and getting on with life without tears. It too is a sensitive and tender paean, devoid of false pity and with the very merest touch of lament and melancholy. Nurse is all innuendo and lust, in the finest Carry On tradition. The dramatic pay-off to all the yearning and pleading is truly wonderful and sadly, far too clever for me to reveal here.
Aside from his sardonic observances on the machinations of love and lust, Jake's Progress also contains many moments of humour which demonstrate Jake Thackray's unique and lively sense of wit. The Hole is pure whimsy, telling a tall tale of Jake sticking his finger through a hole in a door to relieve the boredom while waiting for a bus. As the ludicrousness escalates, police, dogs, and reporters from the BBC gradually gather before Jake is taken to court, pleading an excuse of 'justifiable curiosity'.
There is plenty of self-deprecating humour at Jake's expense too. On Family Tree, the Thackrays are revealed to be a reprehensible clan of uncouth sinners, whose only brush with the aristocracy came with the rape of a duchess and the offer of some Woodbines to the Queen. Jake delves further into the misdeeds of the Thackrays on Grandad, another degenerate relative whose cast-iron constitution and dipsomaniacal habits lead Jake to suspect that the old man will fight off the clutches of death and escape from his grave as soon as the pubs open.
The song which best demonstrates the heights of Jake Thackray's preposterous whimsy, is perhaps The Castleford Ladies Magic Circle. A wonderful tale of suburban devil worship, thanks to the deft subtle touches of Jake Thackray, it is easy to picture the scene as Elizabeth Jones and Lily O'Grady (and three or four more married ladies) practice their unspeakable pagan rites. These North Country witches have no need for fancy, expensive props and familiars, instead relying on their 'Woolworth's broomstick and a tabby cat'. I could wax at length about the joys and horrors to be found in the 'upstairs aspidistra'd room that's lit by candlelight', but it's perhaps best you listen and enjoy the antics of the Castleford Ladies yourself. Take it away Mr Thackray.
Frankie Howerd – Titters and triumphs
Frankie Howerd reinvented his act many times during his career, but his most important moment came during a bleak period in the early 1960s .
Frankie Howerd,
At The Establishment & At The BBC,
Decca LK 4556,
Born in York in 1917, Francis Alick Howard was never the most comfortable or natural of performers, and yet from an early age that was really his only ever ambition. If ever anyone was unsuited to a showbiz lifestyle though it was the comedian soon to be known to a nation as Frankie Howerd. He lacked, in all honesty, almost everything that any competent performer usually needs to build and sustain a successful career.
A writhing, squealing mass of nervousness, anxiety and stammers, Frankie Howerd was never confident performing. Success eventually came when Howerd embraced his nerviness and fear, moulding all of his various tics and curious nervous quirks into a unique persona that became the essence of his act for almost fifty years. For every well scripted gag delivered in Frankie's stage show, there would be a dozen more exasperated sighs punctuated only by raised eyebrows, groans, gasps and nagging admonishments to the audience.
Rejected by RADA and a failure in numerous amateur talent shows as a struggling youth, like many people of his generation, it took the advent of the Second World War and the need for troops to be entertained for Frankie Howerd to really make a mark. Frankie was conscripted in early 1940 and immediately applied for ENSA, the army's entertainment organisation which did their best to amuse troops across all theatres of war. But, with an abundance of talented performers who had more than a string of failed auditions and amateur dramatics on their résumé, he faced yet more rejection as ENSA announced they would not require his services. For Frankie, rather than a showbiz tour of military hotspots he would have to settle for life in the Royal Artillery defending the coast of Essex from the Luftwaffe.
Not to be deterred by his posting, Shoeburyness Barracks soon saw Gunner Howard of B Battery organising and starring in weekly concert parties. It was in these Sunday night frivolities that he learned to make the most of his nervousness, honing it and taming it to form the basis of an act. Essex also witnessed the first appearance of a deaf apathetic pianist in Frankie's act. The first time in Southend it was for real, for the next five decades it was usually a carefully rehearsed but always hilarious act.
When he left the army in 1946, Frankie brought his uniquely hesitant and incompetent delivery to the top BBC Radio show of the time, Variety Bandbox. Initially Frankie Howerd floundered in this new medium and his confidence ebbed with each passing week as his co-host Derek Roy garnered the praise of the audience and the admiration of BBC bigwigs. A chance meeting with a writer, the young and newly demobbed Eric Sykes, while in panto at the Sheffield Lyceum would rescue Frankie's career and propel him to new heights.
Through many tortuous turns and failed forays into film and TV, by 1961 Frankie Howerd's career in comedy was all but over yet again. Work was thin on the ground and his reputation as a 'difficult' cantankerous individual was making gigs ever harder to find. In his mid-forties, reasoning that he had enjoyed a long and fairly successful career and despairing at ever finding decent work or mass acclaim again, Frankie had determined privately to quit showbusiness for ever and invest what little money he had left in a London supper-club.
Committed to a summer season and a pantomime after that, Frankie resolved that once those dates were fulfilled, his career would be over. During the final days of his pantomime appearances in Southsea, an offer came in which Frankie found intriguing. He had been invited to present the 1962 Evening Standard Drama Awards at the end of January in London's Savoy Hotel. Feeling that his career deserved to reach its conclusion in an atmosphere a little more dignified than a seaside production of Puss In Boots, he accepted gladly. It was another chance meeting with a young writer, much like that one some 16 years earlier, that would change Frankie's mind about abandoning showbusiness and propel him on to greater fame and acclaim than he could possibly have imaged in those cold dark days in panto.
Buoyed by a lack of concern about his career (and quite a lot of gratis booze) Frankie lit up the awards show with a vintage tour de force, polishing old material and slipping in newly scripted gags with ease. In the audience that day accepting numerous awards were the young geniuses behind the ground-breaking new revue, Beyond The Fringe. Impressed by the veteran performer's compering, Peter Cook was one of the first to congratulate Frankie after the awards dinner. Cook extended an invitation to Frankie to perform in his newly opened Establishment Club in Soho, then by far the most fashionable comedy club in the land frequented by each night by an eager audience of university educated satire fans.
As usual, it took much gentle coaxing and much more forthright nagging to persuade Frankie Howerd to attempt to launch his career anew. The masterstroke in Howerd's renaissance was to come from the fruitful mind of Johnny Speight. His simple idea was not to reinvent Frankie for a hip new audience, used to the edgy satire of Lenny Bruce and the studied wit of Peter Cook, but to present Howerd as he was; a washed up, embittered vaudevillian totally at odds with his rarefied surroundings. Stepping on to the stage of The Establishment on the 26th September 1962, Frankie Howerd was reborn for a new generation of comedy fans and his legendary status was confirmed.
Thankfully, due to some remarkable foresight, that monumental moment in the career of Frankie Howerd was preserved forever by Decca Records. Bolstered with a choice script fashioned by Johnny Speight along with Galton and Simpson at the height of their powers, the triumph of Frankie Howerd still sounds remarkable. Full of self-deprecating humour and camper than ever before, the 'music hall comedian' Frankie Howerd is as swift to put down and ridicule his own career chairing 'Billy Fury tours' as he is to criticise the shabbiness of the venue and the ambitions of the Beyond the Fringe players themselves, urging them all to consider the need to 'turn professional'. It is a remarkably mature and swaggering performance by a comedian who has tasted fame and success as well as failure and ridicule. With nothing to prove and relieved of the desperate need to succeed, Frankie Howerd delivers the routine he always wanted to, a confident domineering performance that captivates and enthrals an audience.
The routine preserved on this record saw Frankie go on to further polish his satirical skills on That Was The Week That Was but he did not remain long with the hip young things of the satire boom. Frankie Howerd would have many further moments of doubt and uncertainty again over the years, but his major triumphs all lay ahead of him. He would succeed on stage in A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, on TV with Up Pompeii! and at the cinema with appearances in two Carry On films and various adaptations of his TV work.
That comedy fans (me included I am pleased to say) were still able to see Frankie performing well into the 1990s is largely due to the wonderful fanciful reinvention contained in just one vintage LP recording. Here then is how it all began second time around for Francis Howerd, titter ye not:
Tracey Ullman – A salute to bubblegum pop
Before becoming a global TV megastar, British comedian and actor Tracey Ullman enjoyed a brief but spectacular career as a pop starlet.
Tracey Ullman,
You Broke My Heart In 17 Places,
Stiff SEEZ 51,
Many years have passed since Tracey Ullman first found fame in the BBC series Three Of A Kind alongside Lenny Henry and David Copperfield. The fast-moving sketch show ran from 1981 to 1983 and made stars of all three of its young talented cast. After three series, Three Of A Kind finished and they each went their own individual and idiosyncratic ways. David Copperfield managed a brief career as a children's comedian before becoming a staple of 'where are they now?' documentaries. Lenny Henry proved he could do a lot more than eat condensed milk sandwiches on Tiswas while impersonating David Bellamy, but the really shining megastar discovered during Three Of A Kind's short ephemeral run was undoubtedly Tracey Ullman.
After Three Of A Kind ended Ullman appeared in Girls On Top, an ITV flat share sitcom which also gave early exposure to future comedy luminaries Ruby Wax, Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders, alongside veteran actress Joan Greenwood and her flea-bitten stuffed dog. Important for proving that women could actually be funny without the need to snog Bob Grant or pile on the pounds to play the role of a frumpy wife, Girls On Top was a significant moment in comedy. While it shared many similarities with the boys only sitcom The Young Ones, it was distinctive enough and original enough to prosper on its own merits.
Between series one and two of Girls On Top, Tracey Ullman was far from idle and resting on her many laurels. She appeared in films such as Plenty alongside Meryl Streep and Sir John Gielgud, and in Paul McCartney's musical oddity Give My Regards to Broad Street. She also found time to record two music albums and release a collection of infectiously catchy and popular hit singles. Little wonder that when it came to record the second series of Girls On Top, Tracey and her TV producer husband had already decamped to Hollywood to plan her next move in achieving global domination.
After a faltering start in the US, a show reel compilation tape sent to comedy producer James L Brooks was enough to earn Tracey her own eponymous prime time TV show. The Tracey Ullman Show premiered on Fox in 1987 and was an instant hit. Rarely off the screen since, Tracey's American TV shows have been incredibly popular over the years, winning her seven Emmys in the process and granting the world its first brief crudely animated glimpse of The Simpsons. Tracey's shows have not enjoyed a similar level of exposure in the UK though, and all but the most dedicated of Brits will have managed to keep track of everything Tracey Ullman has made in the US over the last thirty years. Americans are probably unaware of her achievements in the UK though, that is if they are even aware that there is a place called the UK.
Prior to her move to fame and fortune in America, Tracey Ullman made quite a reputation for herself as a recording artist. Her first single release was the lively bouncy pop froth of Breakaway in March of 1983. Written by Jackie DeShannon and Sharon Sheeley as the b-side of Irma Thomas's 1964 single Wish Someone Would Care, it immediately set the tone for all Tracey's subsequent single and album releases. Nostalgic and exuberant, Breakaway is a pounding retro gallop that never lets up, like a Motown hit pumped full of mescaline. It justifiably opens Tracey's debut album, an album which has many treasures equal to Breakaway to explore.
The collection of love songs that makes up You Broke My Heart In 17 Places are all rendered in Tracey's distinctive high pitched tones, backed up by a host of keen electronic musicians and singers including Kirsty MacColl, The Flying Pickets and Clare Torry (famous for screeching and wailing like an over emotional walrus through Pink Floyd's The Great Gig in the Sky).
Few songs manage to match Breakaway's blistering pace, if such a thing is even possible. The album slows down immediately for the second track, a cover of Chris Andrews' Long Live Love which provided a memorable 1965 number one hit for the shoe eschewing Sandie Shaw. Side one continues with a leisurely stroll through Wayne Carson Thompson's Shattered, and The Dells song Oh, What a Night before picking up noticeably for a breathless tongue twisting sprint on a version of Reunion's Life Is a Rock (But the Radio Rolled Me). Seemingly name checking every recording artist and record company of the previous three decades in a babbling three minute mini-epic, Tracey manages to cling on to the song with her sanity intact and finishes the job with credit.
Side two continues with yet more cheap frothy bubble-gum pop tunes, starting with Move Over Darling, a swirling great cuddle of a song and a great start to any 12 inches of vinyl. A cover of the Doris Day film track, Move Over Darling provided Tracey with a number eight hit over Christmas 1983.
Another hit from the album came in the form of They Don't Know, released in September 1983. Amongst all the vintage tracks They Don't Know does stand out as a cover of a much more recent song. Originally released as a single by singer songwriter Kirsty MacColl in 1979, a strike at the vinyl pressing plant put paid to Kirsty's hopes of a chart entry and the record disappeared from view. Tracey Ullman's version managed to make it to number two and remains her biggest chart success. With Kirsty MacColl providing backing vocals on Tracey's version, the success second time round must have offered some consolation for her initial thwarted attempts to release it.
Elsewhere on side two, Tracey also trills across a bold drum led cover of Bobby's Girl, originally recorded by Marcie Blane in 1962, and a cover of (I'm Always Touched by Your) Presence Dear by Blondie, another female led act that knew the value of vintage elegance and how best to bring class to a classic cover version. The title track You Broke My Heart In 17 Places reunites Tracey with Kirsty MacColl, who as well as writing the song also produced it for her friend.
The album You Broke My Heart In 17 Places is an affectionate pastiche, faithful to the enduring spirit of its many cover versions without ever being a straight copy. The modern arrangements and careful production imbues all the songs with a new energy and life. The LP is a homage to the joys of cheap poular music, to insubstantial love songs and the various agonies of romance. Whether the songs covered are from the 1950s, 60s or 70s, You Broke My Heart In 17 Places somehow evokes a stylish halcyon period of the early 60s, a time that may never have really existed. Oh and it's a cracking record!
Tracey's second album You Caught Me Out, released in 1984, contained more spirited cover versions and chart hits for her. Sadly, since then TV and film has dominated Tracey Ullman's career and not pop music. The legacy is quite something though, who can fail to enjoy the vivacity and energy of that very first single Breakaway?

Nato moving into Georgia will in fact inflict more pains on people living in the Causasus.
People like Natasha are simply far and few in between, and as one Russian journalist so aptly put it, this is precisely why they are killed first. Memorial reported that 9 people have been kidnapped since Natasha's death and tragically, there's no one left to call for the relatives of these victims. Just today, another human rights defender was killed in the Kiriliya region. Andrei Kulagin was a champion of prisoners' rights who had been missing since May. A Russian google news search for Kulagin turned up 3--THREE-- hits. As a native Chechen and Russian citizen, I feel anger, disappointment, and sadness.
I am Russian who has been living in US for the last ten years. My eye are filled with tears as I am reading this. Tears of grief, anger and shame...
One cannot defend the drunken bear for such atrocities in Chechnya, nor Captain America for similar misgivings in Iraq. In the name of security they perpetuate terrorism, and so perpetuate the need for security in its own economic viscious circles.
Rest in Peace, Natalia Estemirova. The world has not been responding sufficiently to the atrocities in Chechnya. It's shameful and disgraceful. Evil is loose across the earth. The world needs more courageous people like Natalia Estemirova. I hope the cowardice murderers here, whoever they are, will be caught and severely punished.
We do not appreciate the sacrifice made by people like Natalia Estemirova and thousands of others we'll never hear about. They are a shining example to anyone who does not aggressive, intelligently, passionately engage themselves in the affairs of their governments. We should all desire to have the strength, fearlessness, compassion and commitment she and others show by example. Thank you, Natalia. Resquiecat in Pacem.
You know although i am an American citizen i consider myself first and foremost a citizen of this world, and as such i am deeply aggrieved and saddened by the murder of Natalie Estemirova, she was one of those very rare persons who did not see Injustice through the eyes of Nationality or Ethnicity.
And who abhorred all cruel treatment and injustices which seems to flourish around us.
Because of our Apathy and Inertia I think we are all complicit in these happenings as a noted thinker once said Evil Flourishes When Good People sit idly by and do Nothing ....Remember what happened in Germany
I hope history has taught us a valuable lesson about standing up for what is right and Just in this world.
It seems the more things change the more things remain the same.
We have been saying for quite some time now that Russia is reverting to the bad old Soviet times. Some people objected, and called us Cold Warriors. Well, they were right and we were wrong...
The Soviets sent their dissidents to the gulag; the new Soviets just have them executed...
hello. truly this has been the most under reported murder of the most heroic human rights activist of our time. whether there be unjust ulterior motives or natural consequences of events for censoring her work, the fact that this brave woman needed asylum and was not abducted into it; for her own protection: is its own travesty. heads would literally be falling for this heinous crime, and that is the state of affairs that she was participating in: in which so many in her country still do. we should apply sanctions against a government which mistreats its citizenry repeatedly so uncivilly. 'inhumanity incorporated' with tanks, bombings, burnings, hordes of murdering rapists; then this brutal slaughter. these rich Russians do not play well with others.
According to almost all religions and philosophy there is no greater good one can do to this world, but to sacrifice for his people, and for all the people. Why is it that the best always leave us first? Why the strive to bring good turned into this in so many parts of the world? Hope is only alive as long as people like this remain. In some other sense, this is the ultimate test for the Russian stile sovereign democracy. Is there democracy there or just political pragmatism – cold, calculating, criminal, murderous…and the best people laying their lives as collateral damage? What is the government hoping to build on all this blood? Gulag, prison for the nations…
I feel so 'low' reading this account. I cannot fathom why Russians and others in Chechen have to bring such mis-rule and suffering on so many normal citizens.
I dont understand what the civilised western world and UN are doing. There are open issues like this in Burma , Chechenya, Korea. Why are these not solved ? Why are only Iraq and Afghan attacked. Why not burma ? How about chechenya ? Is it because there is no 'business case' ? Who is accountable for the death of the likes of Natalia ? She fought to bring meaning to her life ? Now will her death be in vain ?
One can only pray for the likes of Natalia Estemirova.
Increasingly one gets the feeling that Civilised world (UN) and aligned models are defunct.
The West would like to pin the blame on Mr. Putin for Natalia unfortunate demise.
While I am mourning Ms Estemirova's death, I am still wondering - Why, WHY human rights campainers were silent and are still silent about the ethnic Russian population genoside in Chechnya in 1990-s?
You Happyfish...
Who else shall be blamed for this brutal death but Putin and his gang (which includes Kadirov)? In none of the NATO member countries political murders do not happen these days. People live peacefully and prosperously in all NATO member countries. This is Russia, not NATO who brought all this mischief to the peace-loving Caucasians. You Putinist Russians will pay a very high price for all the kilings you have done. This time will come, will come...
It is really awful that someone was killed. Though that fact that it happened in the Chechenya is not a surprise. One who is familiar with Russian history, knows that kidnapping, slavery and murders always happen to be in Chechnya: at the time of the Russian Empire, in Soviet times and now. A dungeon for hostages and slaves - an integral part of each Chechen household.
Memorial society (so called ''Russia's oldest human-rights group'') killed Ms Estemirova worked for is being sponsored by West European and North American foundations such as: Soros Foundation, Konrad Adenauer Foundation, Henry M. Jackson Foundation, National Endowment for Democracy and many others. A well-known Ford Foundation (USA) which is regularly accused of links with CIA sponsors Memorial and finances other Russian human rights organization for a total sum approximately in 5 million dollars a year. Taking into account the names of Memorial "investors" and their global interests we can understand for what purposes they spent money. Even a child will not believe that the West sponsors someone's actions in interests of Russian people. In practice all these so called human-rights groups are conducting network wars. The society Memorial officially exists from the end of January, 1989 and really - from 1970.
Though Memorial with the falling dawn of the USSR not only did not stopped its activity, but on the contrary, got set a net of branches in Russia and in the CIS-countries, continuing the same destructive, anti-state activity under a proud slogan of struggle for "human rights". As a matter of fact, actively having participated in disorder of one state, it there and then was accepted to another, the blessing of means for rough activity still were available.
The international Islamic organizations of extremist sense too operate through welfare foundations or others noncommercial organizations.
Where were these human-rights groups when before the first war in Chechnya all Chechen inhabitants from Russian to Jews called for stopping lawlessness created there? Chechens forced women, kidnap adults and children, demanding money or turn them into slaves. What Ms Estemirova and Memorial do about it? And the Soros foundation?
It also a lie that Ms Estemirova' murder was not widely covered in Russian mass-media. That news became number one theme in all mass-media, including central state television channels. An hour later after that had happened President Medvedev expressed indignation, sympathize with her relatives and charged to conduct investigation. In my opinion it was enough!
I do not want to say that Kadyrov well govern Chechen republic – it is not so. But I doubt that Kadyrov is accessorial to her murder as everybody knows that if something happen with a member of a foreign-sponsored group (as Estemirova) it will make such a splash around the world!
So Ms Estemirova worked for the organization, which was engaged in sedition activity and her murder was in such organizations interests for causing an anti-Russian wave of information and tense in the Caucause. Russian people want peace in their country.
Here is a part of my comment on a related story:
"... however when people start to take PRACTICAL steps to expose the wrong-doings of those possessing power (and I believe that such an activity requires GREAT caution and a cool head, the things that many truth-fighters may forget and end up not so well) it becomes PERSONAL, and the man with power will abuse it to stop the investigator ...
Its not about the WHOLE government being against the investigators of truth (the investigations help the government find out who's in charge of funding thefts, bribery, embezzlement and so on), its about a huge number of destructive elements in charge that use their position in their own interests and want to hide it from the public ...
The thing is that the government has to litelarly fight itself, and it is interested in finding these corrupt individuals within, because their actions undermine the stability of the country. And thats why the government is interested in the work of the truth-seekers.
The real problem is (as you mentioned before) the lack of government self-regulation and the absence of a mechanism that would track and dispose of the destructive elements inside it."
As a Russian citizen I can tell you that in our country investigating power abuses and human rights violations requires the qualities of a true hero ... My condolences to the family and friends ...
To what Iyechka has written, I would like to add: does anyone here know what was written on the billboard at the entrance to Grozny during all 1990-s? "Russians, do not leave Chechnya, we need SLAVES". I ask Western people stop blaming Russia blantly and look at the picture thoroughly and objectively.
p.s. Natalya Estimirova's killing WAS covered widely in the Russian press, including the front cover story in Kommersant, one of leading national papers. Where does The Economist take its data?
The bad thing is that lawlessness and killings are spreading from Caucasus to all over Russia. Happening even in the center of Moscow nowadays! This is an indication of a failed state. That's exactly where Russia is heading. And soon everybody is shooting at everybody like in the beginning of the 20-th century. Mrs. Estemirova was THE canary bird. Do take her seriously!
The abduction of Natalia Khusainovna Estemirova and her subsequent execution was tragic and bears the hallmark of Chechen separatists out to frame the Russians. It is all too easy to conveniently place the blame of this murder along with that of Anna Politkovskaya and Stanislav Markelov on erstwhile Soviet elements in the security services. Human-rights activities can be a double-edged sword in Chechnya. Mischievous people like 'geobeaver' who so callously blame 'Putin and his gang' for these killings ought to go to Grozny and mouth off to the Chechnyans. Frankly 'Putin and his gang' have better things to do getting the Russian house in order than to go round knocking off human-rights campaigners and journalists. Peace-loving Caucasians?
Chechnya...Try to protect your self and you are labeled Terrorist or Rebel.
RIP Natalia.
