Hi: 18° Lo:10°
A FATHER'S "Herculean" effort to save his children when their boat capsized in Barford ended in tragedy as he and his youngest son were drowned, an inquest has heard.
Successful antiques dealer Julian Mynott, 42, and three-year-old son Freddie were killed after their small motorised fibreglass rowing boat capsized after being swept over a three-metre high weir on the River Avon, close to their home, on May 12 this year.
Also in the boat were his six-year-old daughter Florence, who suffered a heart attack, and seven-year-old son Archie, but both have made full recoveries after being pulled from the fast-flowing swollen river thanks to the extraordinary help of neighbours.
An inquest held at Leamington Justice Centre yesterday (Wednesday) was not attended by the Mynott family but a statement on behalf of Julian's wife Emma explained her husband had much boating experience and took the safety of his children very seriously, insisting all wore a life jackets before they went out on that fateful Saturday evening. Florence and Archie could both swim but Freddie, who could not, was excited to go out on the river too and was allowed along.
At 5.30pm neighbours saw them suddenly in difficulty, the boat having capsized and the children bobbing up and down in the water. The force of the current eventually ripped their life jackets away and Freddie disappeared under the water. Julian, standing up in the water, screamed for help as he attempted to swim through the current to reach his children.
On the riverbank, neighbours attempted to throw ropes out to the children and eventually one of them – Matthew McFadden - tied himself to rope attached to a large tree and lowered himself into the water, managing to grab hold of the older two children. They lost sight of Julian soon after. His and Freddie's bodies were recovered from the river later that evening.
Coroner Sean Patrick McGovern, recording a verdict of accidental death, described the case as "terrible" and offered his condolences to the family, adding "it would have been easy for Mr Mynott to walk away from this but he chose not to – he died trying to save his children."
Mr McGovern also praised the many residents of Barford who had done their "absolute best" to save the family, singling out Mr McFadden's contribution as especially brave.
In a statement DS Colin James, Warwickshire Police's senior investigating officer, also praised the "strength of the close-knit community of Barford.
He said: "Together with Barford residents, more than 50 representatives from the police, fire, ambulance and specialist rescue teams were involved in the operation and everyone, without exception, was affected by what happened.
"We can never know exactly what happened in the boat on that early summer afternoon, but we have heard today of the Herculean efforts of a father to protect and save his children in the most challenging and overwhelming of situations."

The accommodations were perfect and I just loved all the color! Your staff was so friendly and accommodating and the housekeeper was a jewel!

2 piece simple and classy tv-dinner table
I was tired of wobbly tv-dinner tables, and they were quite frankly in the way. The remotes kept being knocked over and breaking, drinks were spilled, food was knocked over, there had to be a better way! So I made this very simple, yet elegant side table for my couch. I went from student den to warm and welcoming living room in just a few steps with two pieces of wood!
1-A piece of sacrificial wood was pre-drilled with the walnut so that 4 ¼ inch bolts would hold them together.
2-I then put tee nuts UNDER the sacrificial wood, so that when the table was bolted on it would pull up on them and be very snug.
3-The sacrificial wood was then screwed (with countersinks to avoid issues) onto the arm rest.
4-The walnut was sanded and coated with LIVOS oil (a special blend of boiled linseed and other oils)
Now the table bolts on easily, and can easily be removed for clean ups, or to clean the couch cover my fiancée is making. By using bolts instead of screws, I can guarantee that my table will not get damaged over time.

Looks even better when I don't take the picture of it installed backwards. It hangs over the air, not over the pillow *facepalm*

Many music and home theater enthusiasts have begun using multiple subwoofers in their systems, rather than using just one subwoofer. A home entertainment system that has weak, distorted bass sounds less than thrilling! Getting great bass in consumer-sized living rooms is a challenging topic, and a single sub may not fill the room evenly with great bass. Let's investigate the reasons why multiple subs make sense.
Many consumers know that a large listening area may require a second sub. What is sometimes missed is that every listening room, large or small, suffers from standing wave issues. When excited by deep bass, the room itself resonates, storing and re-releasing bass energy, somewhat like a water glass hit by a fork. The slowly-decaying bass notes can lead to muddy-sounding bass, even from a quality subwoofer.
The subwoofer and the room work together, creating the bass sounds that we hear.
Bass wavelengths are long (over 50 feet in the deepest bass), and most home listening rooms are smaller in comparison. The deep bass wavelengths are reflected off walls, ceilings and floors, colliding with each other. This sets up areas in the room where bass energy is too prominent, which sounds boomy to listeners in those areas. It also creates cancellation points, or "nulls", where bass energy is lacking. In single-sub systems, depending on where you are seated, the bass sounds may be satisfying or far from it.
Twin subs, strategically placed, can help balance these room resonances. Twin subs are far more capable than one at filling in the null spots where bass cancellations occur, and smoothing out overloaded, boomy areas. The whole family is more apt to get clear, rich bass. Much research suggests that four subs is the optimum number, but two sub systems are nearly as effective as four subs (and far better than a single sub). Twin subs are also more practical, cost-effective, and easier to position in the room than four. Here are three reasons why multiple subwoofer systems make sense:
1. Decreased distortion and greater bass headroom: Even a solo listener will enjoy lower-distortion bass. Twin subs offer greater headroom and minimize compression, so neither sub works as hard to fill the space with bass. The climactic scenes in movie soundtracks, and big passages in musical pieces (such as the 1812 Overture), are more easily handled by double the power and twice the subwoofer radiating surface. Clean beats "overloaded" every time!
2. A wider "sweet spot": Well-placed twin subwoofers recreate bass that is more evenly distributed throughout the room, minimizing areas where bass seems either weak or boomy. Multiple listeners can have a great Home Theater and music experience.
3. Longevity: Heat is the enemy of electronic longevity. As neither sub is working as hard as one sub would, heat build-up is minimized, prolonging subwoofer life.
The Benefits of Using Multiple Subs

Why Hollywood Only Ruins Alice In Wonderland When They Try To Remake It
It's safe to say childhood in the Western world wouldn't be the same without Alice in Wonderland, and regardless of where you first learned about the Cheshire Cat and the Red Queen, they're characters as embedded in your life as people you actually know

Show Day: Turin - Stadium
21 July 2001
Show Day: Turin - Stadium
I'm sure a question hanging on the lips of every reader is 'how do the road crew get their laundry done?' When moving at high speed (and the crew party moves faster than the band party by a factor of about 300%) through unknown territory, how do you get your smalls washed? As with every aspect of road life, a system has evolved to deal with this. You take your laundry bag to the production office, fill out the front of a specially printed little envelope with your name and bus number & put $20 in local currency inside. Whilst you say a few Hail Mary's a local person hired for the day as a 'runner' then takes all the bags to a nearby laundry who wash & dry your clothes, take your money & put any change back in the envelope before the runner returns to bring all the bags back to the gig. What could possibly go wrong? Well, of course, practically everything. I won't bore you with endless tales of laundry disasters over the years, but it's a sure fire way of getting to know some of your colleagues perhaps more intimately than you would have liked. I remember well the occasion in Zagreb, with everyone's laundry coming back in one giant bag and being poured out in the middle of the production office floor (funny how no-one ever claimed that funny looking vinyl thong).
Having given the runner my bag of washing yesterday I was rather dismayed to find that he had simply failed to find a laundry and returned it this lunchtime still dirty. I was already at crisis melt down point with lack of t-shirts and underwear, so this came as a bitter blow. However, as fate would have it, a window of opportunity opened up. There is a washer/dryer which the wardrobe dept. carry as part of their touring gear for band garments which can't be trusted in the hands of strangers. As it happened, the proprietor of said machine hadn't come into the gig yet, being 'unavoidably detained' after a bit of a bender last night, so I saw the gap and went for it. My lighting pal Bruce, finding himself similarly sartorially challenged, joined in & so we crammed this washer to capacity and went off to do other things. Returning an hour later the machine appeared to be finished, but opening the lid I found it half full of water & soggy clothes. And then depression set in.
The source of the problem soon became apparent. The washing machine had been set up in the players tunnel, behind a gate right by the edge of the football pitch. It was plugged into a power strip which was gaffer taped to a faucet - a metal water tap - which was gently dripping. Anyone with the most rudimentary knowledge of physics, or indeed anyone who's ever owned a hairdryer, will know that the combination of water and electricity can bring spectacular results, including sparks, death, etc., or in this case a completely melted plug spectacularly welded to the water pipe, resembling a tiny Dale Chihuly sculpture in black and brown. Drum tech Sam said that on farms in Ireland they have photographs of things exactly like it with 'Whatever You Do, Don't Do This' underneath. Anyway, to make a long story even longer of course it took forever to get this sorted out, but eventually the Italian electricians came through for us. By the time all was washed and dried the opening acts were well under way, so Bruce and I were able to experience the bizarre pleasure of folding up our tumble dried clothes whilst standing inside a cage being watched by 70,000 young Italians bouncing to the strains of raging thrash metal from some local punk band currently on stage. Nice day for it though.
Show was great too. They do love a gig in this part of the world and they don't come to watch, they come to be a part of it.

SNOQUALMIE, Wash. -- A decade ago we didn't even know they were in Washington. Now, researchers have discovered wolverines roaming the state's back country. The question is, are they spreading out?
There are dozens of eyes monitoring the deep woods where only the wolverine and a few other hardy creatures dare roam during the cold winter months. Remote, motion -activated cameras are attached to trees patiently waiting for something to move.
Researcher Aja Woodrow is hoping that something is a wolverine.
Woodrow is doing surveys for the U.S. Forest Service, and on Friday, he was snowshoeing in search of a suitable research site.
Once he finds a location, he builds a small deck attached to a tree and then mounts a camera on a nearby tree. If a wolverine climbs up on the deck, the camera will snap several images that Woodrow and other researchers can use to identify the animal's size, sex and distinguishing markings.
All he has to do is attract the animal so he brings along a snack - two large hunks of raw cow meat, which he hangs from a metal line stretched between the two trees.
But to really get some attention, he dowses the base of the tree leading to the platform with a concoction of salmon guts and cow blood, and for good measure, he throws in a little ground up skunk organ.
If he can attract a wolverine, it will be a big deal because his camera is set up, not in the remote Okanogan wilderness but in a secluded area near Snoqualmie summit. That would put a wolverine within just a few hours of Seattle.

Mother Earth
A typhoon has found its way to my doorstep again. The sky is gloomy and the rain is steadily falling. Days like these call for hot soups, or hearty braises, or something roasted whole. We will go for the roast I think. A roast chicken dinner sounds just about right.
And hopefully there will be leftovers for me to use and post about!
Meanwhile (if there are leftovers...C loves roast chicken), I am bursting to share with you something we (I and a group of three other fabulous girls...Christine, Angela, and my best friend K!) have been working on for a while. It's been so much fun and so satisfying planning this little project with them...now that it has actually come to fruition, and I can hold the tangible results in my two hands, the delight is immense!
Avoiding food waste is just one cause I am trying to champion in my own personal corner. The other has been avoiding plastic. Again, I am by no means a lean, green, eco-machine, but I do try to do all my shopping in reusable shopping bags***. You all know the tune I'm sure, and I'm not going to stand on a soapbox and talk about the evils of plastic. There are experts out there to do that and I wouldn't want to get my numbers wrong. Suffice to say that by opting to tote our own shopping bags, we are helping our planet out of plastic's evil clutches! :)
So it is with great pride and excitement that I present you with our Mother Earth bags!!! When Christine shared the idea with me I was all for it. Before we knew it things magically came together (as most good things do) and we found ourselves with the finished product sitting happily in front of us. I couldn't be more thrilled with how everything worked out (and is still working out...we get more good news everyday!) :)
The bags are made in a livelihood centre that employs the elderly, disadvantaged women in a neighbouring city (D'Livelihood Shop in Taguig). So this venture helps these women earn their living, as well as helping our planet breathe easier :)
You can check out the different bags (with better pictures!) at our website. They're available in Metro Manila only for now until we can sort out shipping. You can also find all sorts of interesting links there – from information about the threat plastic poses to our environment, to other eco-friendly products made locally.
One bag line is made of canvas and the other is made of recycled flour sacks. Yes, we've been badgering our favourite bakeries for more than just their cakes! ;) I've already taken both out for a spin and I can say (with no bias whatsoever, heehee!) that they perform commendably! They can both lug around quite a load :) Lots of space for all your shopping, boys and girls!
Hope you get the chance to take a peek at our site :) While you do, I'm off to roast that chicken...
***Aside from being kinder to the earth, reusable shopping bags look much nicer than plastic bags do. Plus, it is so much easier to carry three of these bags on your shoulders, than five plastic grocery bags with your hands. Trust me. I live on the third floor and my elevator is, uh, "charming" at best. I know what I'm talking about.

I have a few reusable bags but my dad tells me not to overdo it... Because we need to use the plastic grocery bags as trash bags! It's strange, considering there are now biodegradable trash bags. But the reality is these grocery bags get reused quite a bit in the metropolis. It's good, though, that Rustan's has incentives for using the Fresh reusable bag. I don't have a Fresh card, however!
You are right, these bags can take a lot of abuse! I love the designs you have! (I have an obvious affinity to the flour ones, hee) - 9:28 PM

I only use reusable bags! But whenever I get grocery bags, I use them as trash bags!

Great project! I'll sure to let my relatives know about it.

I have several canvas bags and one insulated bag for perishables. How cool is that? I can buy meat or something and do a few more errands before going home. Ahh. . . this world we live in.
Good for you, I'll be linking to that. - 11:33 PM
I think it's just terrific what you guys have done. When I saw them, I liked them so much that I wanted to give them as Christmas presents! But believe it or not, I've gotten quite a bit of my holiday shopping done already, and there's no one left on my list to give the bags to (I checked the list twice)! You can bet I'll be ordering for myself, though...just as soon as I decide which one I want! :-)
Hi Joey, first thing i learned about pinoys in Netherlands, is to bring your own shopping bag, because a plastic bag in the supermarket costs .10 to.20 Euros. Good thing I have a canvass bag that I can use and reuse. Hooray for Mother Earth!
- Marvin said...
How very admirable that you all have taken on this project. The plastic vs. reusable bags issue seems to be a hot one here, yet I never see anyone using the reusable bags in the regular grocery stores. At the farmer's markets for sure, but no where else really.
I've even heard that a new law may be passed that will require stores to charge people (maybe 25 cents or something like that) for using platic bags in hopes of encouraging the use of reusable bags.
You guys should also think of selling flour sack towels, as those are great for washing dishes and leaving little, if any, lint on wine glasses. They even sell flour sack towels at Williams-sonoma here for something like 20 bucks for a pack of four! - 6:15 AM

I have been using resuable bags for my grocery shopping for about a year now. My grocery gives back $0.05 for each canvas bag used instead of plastic.
I love having options on different types of bags to use! Yours look like they would hold up nicely. - 8:24 AM

Hi Manggy! I don't have a Fresh card either, hehe (although yes it's great that they give incentives to use their eco-bags)! We also use whatever plastic bags we can't avoid for the trash...yup almost everyone I know does! :) I like the flour sacks too...I love the vintage-y look of their designs...and it's the cheapest one!
Hi Rosa! It looks like the grocery bag as trash bag thing is really popular...I do too!
Hi Veron! Thanks so much!
Hi Erin! Thanks! So cool! I have to look for one of those insulated bags...this is what I've been wanting! What I do now is take a small cooler in my car for perishables...
Hi Katrina! Thanks! We are having fun to and it feels great :) You are so good about your Christmas gifts! Yikes...I gotta get cracking on those!
Hi Zeph! I remember (from some other European cities too)...I used to take my backpack :)
Hi Marvin! I know what you mean – that's why we've tried to keep our prices down and offer incentives for buying more, so that families who used 20+ bags in the supermarket will switch to our sacks :) 20 bucks for a pack of four flour sack towels??? That's wild! Great idea though! We'll keep that in mind...thought not for 20$! Wooo.
Hi PatsyK! That's a great incentive your grocery is doing :) I love having options too and I have collected quite a lot...including one for wine bottles! :) - 9:27 AM
- Bordeaux said...
Excellent initiative. I love shopping bags made from recycled materials and it is a trend that you see all over Asia nowadays. If only South Africa would catch onto it. Good luck with the project!
- MyKitchenInHalfCups said...
Joey that's a wonderful plan. I had such a hard time when I first started out to use re-useable bags. I left them in the car repeatedly now I'm really getting pretty consistent! Great bags.
Hi Joey,
Do give us a shout if & when you do out the international shipping and payment logistics - I'd be really keen on a few... !
Ling - 11:14 AM
- Barbara said...
That's great Joeuy. Good luck with the venture. I'm sure it will do well.
- ChichaJo said...
Thanks Bordeaux! I do hope more and more people start using reusable shopping bags over plastic...good for the planet and much cuter looking too :) You are the master bag sewer though...I've seen them on your blog and they are lovely!
Hi Tanna! Thanks! I too had to keep reminding myself to bring them...now it comes easy :) Especially since they are much more convenient for me to carry my shopping in!
Hi Ling! I definitely will! :)
Hi Barbara! Thank you :) - 9:29 PM
- Erin said...
Funny, that's what I used to do. The insulated bag is much easier to manuver.
- Rico said...
The wife has a couple of reusable bags. Like most people, we use the plastic biodegradable ones for trash.
We even go as far as using organic soaps and shampoos to be more earth friendly. - 7:54 AM
- Suzana said...
A really interesting perspective on 'Mother Earth'! I mostly use reusable colorful bags that are so much nicer than plastic ones. Love, love the flour bags!
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Erin! Really need to find me one of those insulated bags!
Hi Rico! Legaspi market has a great supply of organic soap :) One my sidebar under News you'll find a link to the girl I buy from...her soaps are really lovely! And she carried eco-friendly laundry detergent as well!
Hi Suzana! Thanks! I love the flour ones too :) - 7:36 AM
- Lael said...
I love this! So glad it came together smoothly for you all. Wish I could hop back over to Manila and pick one up...I really love the flour sack ones. I stuffed an empty basmati rice bag in my suitcase after studying in Oxford for 4 months and brought it home to redesign into a big purse/book bag. It's my favorite bag, and I receive compliments on it all the time. Best of luck with Mother Earth!
- mtan said...
Marvin's got a good idea there, the tea towels at Sur le Table are made of flour sack cotton and they sell for $9 (plus tax), so why not come up with mother earth tea towels? They're good for all sorts of projects.
Looking forward to seeing the bags when I get home! - 6:27 AM
- marye said...
These are great!
I love my reuseable bags. Theya re so much easier to carry. - 4:44 AM
- Chili, Chocolate & Co. said...
That's a great idea. I have been living in Legaspi City for almost six months now, and I am still amazed at how wasteful Filipinos are on plastic bags matter.
My husband's colleague, an Italian guy, also complains about it constantly how people shove you plastic bags no matter what you buy. - 3:39 PM
- christine said...
Lovely post, partner! :)
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Lael! Thank you! I can imagine it making a cool book bag...they are stronger than they look! If ever you are in Manila let me know!
Hi M! I can't believe those tea towels! But I agree, they would make nice ones :) See you soon!
Hi Marye! You said it! Much easier to carry than the plastic grocery bags...
Hi Chili Chocolate & Co! It's a little harder to make the message stick but I'm sure it will...every time I go to the market I see more and more people opting for reusable bags...now the supermarket, that's a different story! But they are already encouraging customers not to use plastic by coming up with reusable bags of their own and crediting rewards points to the customers that use them...a good sign :)
Thanks partner! :) - 11:25 PM
- Helene said...
I love your project. I do have over 30 bags & now I am sewing new ones. That's my little project. I'll be sending these to my family that lives over 3000 miles away for Xmas.
- ChichaJo said...
Hi Helene! That will really make a special gift...I love gifts that are hand-made by the giver :) Makes it all that more special!

This is when you are so out of shape (because it happens more often) that when you play a game online with a buddy against 2 other guys and you are trying to get 1st so bad that your heart starts beating so fast and you start sweating and then you can't sleep for like an hour because you have too much adrenaline.
Man, the other day I got some good cybercise when me and my buddy played a 2v2 CTF on UT, the only problem was I couldn't sleep for like 2 hours afterwards!

Fido does not pass gas.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs an untoward behavior,ŌĆØ he said the other night. We lay in bed, ready for a long winterŌĆÖs nap. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs no more acceptable than it is in humans.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a good thing you think like that,ŌĆØ I said. ŌĆ£Otherwise youŌĆÖd be outside.ŌĆØ
We had just finished reading the long, long, l-o-n-g New York Times article about purebred dogs, especially bulldogs.
ŌĆ£Inveterate farters,ŌĆØ said Fido. ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs why I didnŌĆÖt mind that the Georgia Bulldogs didnŌĆÖt win. Not even the Superdome would be able to mitigate their behavior.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Ah, Fido, you read too much. Why, in our office alone we have a couple of purebred dogs.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£DonŌĆÖt I know it!ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£Hey, hey, hey hey!ŌĆØ
Not to argue with Fido. Not at all.
The article, by Benoit Denizet-Lewis, appeared Nov. 20 and has stirred up a lot of interest among dog lovers throughout the world.
It was headlined ŌĆ£Can the Bulldog Be Saved?ŌĆØ It dealt mostly with Uga, the famous Georgia mascot bulldog. Larger questions emerged than just bulldogs, though.
The report came out of a scathing British TV documentary, ŌĆ£Pedigree Dogs Exposed.ŌĆØ It highlighted the health and welfare problems of purebred dogs and claimed that breeders and the Kennel Club (the British equivalent of the American Kennel Club) were in denial about the extent of the health problems these dogs encounter.
Like farting.
Fido and I read the article together. It is rare to see Fido so thoughtful. It was if he lapped up every word.
After we were finished, we talked about it.
ŌĆ£It confirmed everything I ever thought,ŌĆØ he opined.
ŌĆ£Not so fast,ŌĆØ I cautioned. ŌĆ£He that is without gas among you, let him cast the first fart.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Well put,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£I have been known to read Chaucer from time to time, and in the MillerŌĆÖs Tale, one of my favorites of the Canterbury Tales, Chaucer writes, ŌĆśSpek, sweete brid, I noot nat where thou art.ŌĆÖŌĆ© This Nicholas anon let flee a fart.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£Rightly so,ŌĆØ I said, ŌĆ£but that doesnŌĆÖt mean you are entirely gentlemanly all the time.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£You snore, Fido. Not big, bellowing snores, but snores nevertheless. Actually I think theyŌĆÖre quite delightful. And when you lick yourself, you make this kind of slurping sound, as if youŌĆÖre licking a sno-cone. I also notice that you have no real compunctions about incessant panting.ŌĆØ
ŌĆ£A dog panting is an example of thermoregulation,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£It keeps me cool in the summer and warm in the winter.ŌĆØ
I thought we were done with our conversation. I turned off the light. Fido stretched out and nuzzled against my ear and neck.
ŌĆ£Am I a pure breed?ŌĆØ he whispered.
ŌĆ£No, Fido. You are a pure American mashup.ŌĆØ
I felt him relax. Within moments he began to snore.
