Allow parent-child relation. Refs #9648.
Mostly reuses logic from pred-succ relation so there isn't really any
work for relation handling beyond adding the relation to the list of
configurable relations; the rest is data-driven.
However, the relation handling builds lists and we previously handled
parent as a singleton so some parent field handling needed tweaking:
- TracPM.parent() now returns None if there is no parent field or
relation configured or if there is no parent. Internal code was
adjusted. The only user outside this module, tracjsgantt.py, works with
this change.
- When creating a pseudo-ticket for milestones, set the parent list to
empty, not the previous place-holder ID 0.
- When normalizing and parsing a configured parent field, make a
one-element list of the parent ID
- When testing for children, check if the child ID is in the parent
list rather than the parent field is the child ID
Also fix a bug where parent/child field handling assumed the value of
fieldName left over from a previous loop.
Note this was tested with a parent field, with a parent-child relation,
and with no parent configuration.
Some plugins that support parent-child relationships may allow multiple
parents (Subtickets does). Doing PM-ish things on projects broken down
into phases broken down into deliverables broken down into tasks, etc.
all assumes a tree structure which excludes multiple parents. If
someone creates multiple parents, this will blow up. I'm OK with that.

This is a late follow-up to changeset [9813] after more in-deep discussion on
permission checking for whole Trac realms and specific Trac resources in #8458.
With my original patch proposal from 04-Feb-2011 in mind I call this an aged
and really matured changeset, and that's not so bad after all.
Furthermore code from [12304] gets improved here as well.
Special thanks to Odd Simon Simonsen, Ryan J. Ollos and Christian Boos for
their help on my way towards better understanding Trac permissions.

TracAnnouncer: Part 7 of 7 - Finally: Go from present to future, refs #5774, #7975, #8056, #9742 and #10384.
Now we've bridged the gap and provide an upgrade path for each historic schema
revision of this plugin, while data migration is incomplete yet, especially
regarding subscription attributes stored in
session_attribute(before v3).
Due to component name changes the conversion will be rather complicated, and
therefore corresponding research and development is postponed to a future date
and will largely depend on explicite demand as well.

TracAnnouncer: Part 5 of 7 - Care for some schema adjustments, refs #5774 and #9742.
Early adopters beware: The long-awaited script for data migration from
subscription_attributedb tables
is still a pending issue, that requires even more investigation.
Currently the upgrade procedure just drops the old table irrevocably,
following corresponding historic schema changes, hereby labeled as revision 4.
Make sure to backup your db before upgrading, if you still put faith into
recovering some old user settings later on - you've been warned twice now.

TracAnnouncer: Part 3 of 7 - Follow historic footsteps in schema development for this plugin, refs #5774 and #9742.
The schema discovery logic already leaks a bit about my recent research and
about the number of required follow-up changes to add an incremental upgrade
module for each discovered schema revision as well.
Futhermore, thanks to Jun Omae we utilize a db-specific, non-intrusive query
for retrieving the db table list used in any table existence check from now.

TracAnnouncer: Part 2 of 7 - Restore db-related plugin history, refs #5774 and #9742.
Main feature of the code added here:
- seamless schema upgrade by dedicated upgrade scripts - Trac core style
From the beginnung (see [3015]) this plugin's SQL driven schema check relied
on a SELECT raising an exeption for non-existing db table.
This has been discussed lately and found to be a flawed approach, that is even
known to break installations and interferes with db upgrades for Trac 0.13dev
and ultimately Trac 1.0 as well.
After introduction of the db schema version number for this plugin, table
existence testing is required one last time, current schema version is
registered, and only the registered schema version gets checked further on.

TracAnnouncer: Part 1 of 7 - Move towards a versioned db schema for this plugin, refs #5774 and #9742.
Main feature of the code added here:
- schema version tracked in
systemTrac db table
Now we introduce the common, recommended approach of tracking plugin db schema
versions in Trac db table
system, that doesn't require any guessing later on.
This changeset requires a database upgrade.
Make sure to backup your db before upgrading, especially if you put faith
into recovering user settings later on. While it may become technically
possible to recover parts of an older configuration, the value of such a
configuration is rather questionable in context of the current feature set,
and I guess that doing a conceptual reinitialization by starting from scratch
is what many (most?) users should consider anyway.
Stand back and wait, at least until it has survived more rigorous testing by
other developers and until enough data migration code has been developed to
preserve critical parts of your Trac applications configuration in production.

SELFLESS men and women who have strived to make Swindon a better place over the years were recognised for their commitment at a celebration marking the 30th anniversary of Volunteers Week.
More than 40 volunteers, who have consistently given up their time to support local charities, community groups or schools, were each handed a certificate by Swindon North MP Justin Tomlinson at the ceremony staged by Volunteer Centre Swindon at Christ Church Community Centre on Friday.
Over the years the need for volunteering has increased but people have risen to the challenge, according to Volunteer Centre manager Sue Dunmore.
"Volunteers have a huge impact on life in Swindon," she said. "Every volunteer is special. It's about celebrating the ethos of volunteering and the people who give something back to the community, raising the profile of volunteering."
Each volunteer was put forward for recognition by a charity, local club, community group or health service.
Dave Bell, who chairs Swindon Sport Forum and North Wilts Hockey Club and is also a governor at Dorcan Academy, among several other voluntary roles, was among those nominated for the accolade.
"I get asked to do these things and I love doing them," said Dave, of Liden.
"You get involved in things if you think you can make a difference.
"For example with the hockey club, it's an opportunity that should be there and if you don't have people running the club it won't continue.
"If you don't have people volunteering and putting themselves forward the opportunities won't be there."
Fellow recipient Rosemarie Phillips, who volunteers at Christ Church Community Centre and is a South West representative for the Royal National Institute of Blind People, has been supporting local groups and residents since 1962.
"I love helping people," said the 80-year-old from Old Town. "If you have spare time then it is wise to use it for the benefit of others.
"There are volunteer jobs that will suit everybody.
"There is always some little niche and some little place for your interest and for you to benefit somebody."
Justin praised the volunteers for making a huge difference to their community.
He said: "It's a fantastic opportunity to pay tribute to our brilliant army of local volunteers for making such a real and tangible difference in the heart of our community."

Awful. I'd give no stars if could. Definitely should stay away. Waitress and manager both knew we couldn't have gluten. They screwed both mine and my daughter's orders-giving us both something with breading. Mine was supposed to be a grill chicken taco. Honestly I don't understand what breaded chicken is doing in a taco in the first place. The manager said she'd personally make sure the orders would come out right then . . . Brought us out breaded chicken again. We walked out. Hour and half of our lives wasted.

This place is the freaking bomb! Because their fried taco shells are made at a central location, FRIED TACO SHELLS ARE BACK ON THE MENU. Also, since they can just use fried taco shells as the "chips," chips and salsa are back on the menu. Only mexican food place in town where I c an eat chips salsa. ALSO, the enchiladas are safe! Bon Appetit!
7050 Ridgmar Meadow Rd, Fort Worth, TX 76116
separate gluten free menus. gluten free chips upon request
600 Center Blvd, Newark, DE 19702
It was a wonderful experience. My waiter was knowledgeable, and helpful. They have a gluten free menu with lots of options. And as a bonus they gluten free chips for you to snack on while you wait for your food. I will definitely be back
11347 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
I've always had great experiences here. Lots of gluten free options, staff is knowledgeable of what is and what is not gluten free.
1860 Deptford Center Rd, Woodbury, NJ 08096
The staff might not be knowledgeable on what is naturally GF. But you can bet that they know what the chef is putting on the food and then you can be the judge.
11347 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
great tex mex. plenty of gf options.
5121 Rufe Snow Dr, North Richland Hills, TX 76180
Never been sick yet! they give baked GF chips on request and the staff is super helpful! I also enjoy the options available on their GF menu!
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
Lots of choices. Be careful of the regular chips, they are fried in shared frier. Fajitas with corn tortillas are very good.
8150 Us 31 S, Indianapolis, IN 46227
Had a great abundance of gluten free meals. did not care to much for the skinny style corn tortillas, had a weird texture.
100 Towne Center Blvd, Sanford, FL 32771
Manager let me know half way through my meal that the kitchen made a mistake and my sauce wasn't gluten free. Verified with server that I needed gf. Verified when food was delivered that it was gf. It wasn't gf.
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
server was new and uninformed but did research for us without acting as if this were a big hassle. The Gluten-free menu specifically states that you should notify the manager if you have gluten-free needs. then the manager oversees the whole process to ensure compliance. it's not the greatest mexican food but they have a vast menu and you know you'll get your specific needs met.
11347 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
the food was a typical Mexican restaurant. they has a separate place to cook the food. I had the veggie fajitas.
401 Riverboat Row, Newport, KY 41071
Gr menu. Don't eat the regular chips. Cross contaminated so ask for GF ones
3145 Miller Rd, Flint, MI 48507
this location is permanently closed!!
2745 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
I will not be going back. Staff seemed clueless about gf. Had a really hard time locating the gf menu, finally printed one out.
11347 Viking Dr, Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Manager was very helpful! The rice is no longer gluten free so he let me know that right away, seemed very aware of celiac and what was gluten friendly/gluten free.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
the brunch menu is fantastic for those who can eat it however I am gluten-free and Dairy-free and found no food options, I don't feel they understand the issues. I had ordered the civeche and then asked if the sweet potato came with butter and the waiter came back and said the civeche had condensed milk and I politely said to cancel the order. fortunately I had brought my own food with just in case.
5121 Rufe Snow Dr, North Richland Hills, TX 76180
IMPORTANT UPDATE. It's been reported that they no longer have a gf menu by several people, including me. I called and the GM called me back personally and assured me it was temporary and only because their menu was changing and they needed to time to make sure items were still gf. He called again a week later to say the gf menu was back!
1361 Nixon Drive, Moorestown, NJ 08057
The food is safe, but it tastes quite generic. I wouldn't cost to go there, but I wouldn't mind meeting a friend here now and then.
2916 Knoxville Center Dr, Knoxville, TN 37924
Needs to be removed from here because I was told they updated their menu and no longer have gluten free.
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
Excellent food and very helpful staff!! Full gluten free menu.
6040 Knights Inn Pl, Maumee, OH 43537
They removed their GF menu.
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
GF menu was clear and waiter was helpful. Food was ok. Not the best Mexican I have had. Corn tortillas were overheated, onions and peppers on fajitas were undercooked.
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
They have a dedicated gluten free menu. I tried three of their dips in their sampler as an appetizer (the guacamole is not gf) and the carnitas with corn tortillas as my entree. More than enough food for 2 people to share and it was delicious. Great service...fast and friendly. Would highly recommend.
14181 Hall Rd, Shelby Township, MI 48315
i enjoyed my visit and my food. great place and will be going back
5911 Fruitville Road, Sarasota, FL 34232
Great gluten free selection!! They have their own GF menu, with a lot of items on it!! Food came out very quickly and it wasn't great, but it was pretty good. No complaints!
3824 E 82nd St, Indianapolis, IN 46240
ask for special gluten free chips for your salsa. yum!
1361 Nixon Drive, Moorestown, NJ 08057
Don Pablo's does a nice job. They have a gluten free menu and the manager often comes over to discuss allergen needs. They say their tortilla chips are gluten free, but they do cook them in a shared fryer, so beware of that. We always have to explain that to them, and then they make us baked corn chips in the over, which are a nice substitute
1860 Deptford Center Rd, Woodbury, NJ 08096
They have a GF menu however staff is NOT trained!!!! The wrong food was brought out to me. I asked the server if it was GF and he said yes. I looked at the GF menu and it was not on there. I watched corn tortillas being made on a contaminated surface, the lady did not wear clean gloves and the surface was wiped down with a dirty towel!!!!! I'm so sick!!!!! This restaurant should not be on this website!!!!!
5805 Beckley Rd, Battle Creek, MI 49015
I like the queso blanco dip. But have found I have a problem with cross contimination there.
1 Restaurant Park Dr, Owings Mills, MD 21117
Waitress didn't know there was a gluten free menu. Ordered a meal from it specifically and it still came out with flour tortilla. Had to say several times that it wasn't just that side of the plate that needed to be replaced. The waitress was very kind about it but there was no knowledge about it - don't eat here if you're celiac!
8717 International Dr, Orlando, FL 32819
We went there because I was told it was a decent place to eat. The service was horrible the food was sub part and there was no specific Gluten free menu that I could see. If I could give 0 stars I would.
6476 Strip Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720
Listen, everyone, if you cannot have any cross contamination do not eat here. Everything, is cross contaminated. Badly! Also, the taco meat has fillers in it so that's gluten even though it's on the gf menu. Trust me, I would know.
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
These guys have corn tortillas and fresh ingredients. Very tasty.
14758 N Meridian St, Carmel, IN 46032
They contaminated my food twice at one meal! They have a great gluten free menu so I had high expectations. I was very disappointed. The waitress gave us the wrong chips initially. She realized this after we had ate them for 10 minutes. Then my meal had a "gluten containing" chip laying decoratively on my food. The waitress said they put that on my plate to flag them that my food was special. Really!?!? Of all the things you could put on my plate to flag it as gluten free, you choose the only thing i tell you I'm allergic to. *** Update 2014: I just went back to give Don Pablo's another try after a year, and they are no better. They still flagged my meal sticking one of there "gluten chips" on my food. (Even after we explained it to them last year.)
401 Riverboat Row, Newport, KY 41071
It's not online, but they do offer a gluten free menu with plenty of choices. Hard or soft corn tortillas are available. Our server was very good about checking about potential cross contamination and genuinely interested in assuring safety (very appreciated as we are celiac). Their chips are made in a fryer shared with gluten items, but our waiter made us chips from hard shells heated in the oven. We asked for our soft corn tortillas to be heated with foil over the metal plates. They were out of foil so they microwaved them. That wasn't great so they gave us heated hard shells instead.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
The first time I went here I was okay, got fajitas with corn tortillas but I was also newly diagnosed (from fairly asymptomatic celiac) so that could have been why I didn't feel any negative effects. The corn tortillas were eh but the fajita meat was good. I got the fajita salad the past two times due to the eh tortillas for the fajitas and have gotten sick both times. Also, their on site gluten free menu is identical to their online one which hasn't been updated in over 2 years.
2745 Fairfield Commons Blvd, Beavercreek, OH 45431
Manager brought me a menu!! Good was above average and they had lots of choices. This is the only Mexican place that I can get enchiladas!!
741 Haywood Rd, Greenville, SC 29607
Good is very good and fresh. Lots of options. Service is lacking a little.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
Second opinion here -- went for dinner 1/25/2014 and didn't have a good experience. The server looked at me like I had three heads when I asked if they had a gluten-free menu, said "no of course not, this is our menu, hahaha." Most of the items on the "regular" menu use flour tortillas. The salad was bland, fajita meat tepid and tasteless. I didn't have a reaction to the food but it just wasn't very good.
8161 Honeygo Blvd, White Marsh, MD 21236
Very nice gluten free selection. I particularly like the fajitas with corn tortilla's. They also provide you with a tortilla chip alternative (basically baked taco shells), in place of their fried tortilla chips, which definitely aren't gluten free.
2916 Knoxville Center Dr, Knoxville, TN 37924
Thought this was gonna be awesome. 'Twas not. They have a GF menu, but I don't think they actually prepared our food GF. Got sick.
2831 E 80th Ave, Merrillville, IN 46410
i have been here before a long time ago and it was good. here is the updated gluten free menu: http://donpablos.com/downloads/glutenfreemenu.pdf
7887 Elm Creek Blvd, Maple Grove, MN 55311
The waitress was extremely nice!! I simply asked for corn instead of flower tacos, and she asked right away if it was due to Gluten! Very knowledgable about gluten free!!!
140 Andrew Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275
Nice option of gluten-free foods. had a specific gluten-free menu to choose from;We had a really good waiter - Andrew. Only recommendation is to do a better job cleaning their entry doors and bathrooms.
122 Mall Blvd, Monroeville, PA 15146
Have a separate menu & how to order. Both times manager came over and took care of us... Delicious
7887 Elm Creek Blvd, Maple Grove, MN 55311
server seemed to know the gluten free menu well and they had a nice selection of gf foods.
6476 Strip Ave NW, North Canton, OH 44720
The staff member was very nice and told me that nothing there is truly gf. They put everything in the fryer including their corn tortilla chips with the flour tortilla and breaded items. I am grateful she told me before I ordered. NOT GLUTEN FREE
140 Andrew Drive, Pittsburgh, PA 15275
They have a gluten free menu with lots of options. Ordering made easy by not having to specify changes to menu items (ex-change from soft taco to crispy taco), the waiter/waitress only has to hit a certain button on their computer and all needed changes are made. Not 100% sure if the chips thy bring out are gluten free but saw a few online sites that said they were not gluten free.
3525 Jefferson Davis Hwy, Alexandria, VA 22305
excellent knowledge on gf and allergies. gf menu. large variety

Electronic Waste (e-waste)
E-waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their "useful life."
What is E -Waste?
Computers, VCRs, stereos, copiers, and fax machines are common electronic products that can be reused, refurbished, or recycled. Unfortunately, e-waste is becoming a larger part of our waste.
Where To Recycle E-Waste
You can recycle your e-waste at our Eagle Rock Convenience Center.
Accepted E-Waste
- Computers and Peripherals
- Fax Machines
- CPUs
- CRT Monitors
- Printed Circuit Boards
- Mice
- Typewriters
- DVD and VHS Players
- Stereo Equipment
- iPods
- Thumb Drives
- Hard Drives

- Scanners
- Cables and Cords
- Memory Devices
- Telephones and Cell Phones
- Drills and Small Tools
- Printers
- Laptops
- Servers
- Plotters

Not Accepted for E-Waste Recycling
- TVs
- Toasters
- Small Household Appliances
- Hazardous Waste
- Small Appliances
- Blenders
- Medical Equipment
- Light Bulbs
- Rechargable Batteries
- Sewing Machines
- Items with Freon
- Alkaline Batteries
Disposal Fees
- Residential and Commercial Loads: $ 5.25 per load (Including Tax)
- Unsecured Load Fee: $5.82 Extra (including tax)
A Growing Problem
Research has estimated that nearly 75 percent of old electronics are in storage in part because consumers are uncertain of how to manage these materials. In addition, the computer industry is continually marketing new and improved products. As manufacturers make these technological advances, consumers follow the saying, "Out with the old and in with the new". As a result, an overwhelming influx of e-waste is bombarding the world and challenging it to create an environmentally conscious disposal process.
E-waste that is not recycled often ends up in landfills. As a result, toxic substances commonly found in electronics such as lead, cadmium, and mercury have the capability of contaminating land, air, and water. Computers contain an average of 6 pounds of lead. Accumulation of these substances in the environment is toxic to humans, animals, plants, and microorganisms.

I just do not know how to feel. Angry? Proud? Sad? Relieved it is over? the answer of course, is yes.
The season started for me and my son in Boston in early November - where we saw Jermaine make his surprising season debut and Ron have a good game in leading the good guys to a victory.
This team looked good - like it was on a mission. This was the season. This would end all of the frustrations of 'wait until next year' - and this woul dbe the year. My 36th year on the planet, Reggie's 18th and final year - finally, this would be OUR year.
Well without getting too much into it because I know how important it is not to offend pistons fans on a Pacers board - that was taken away from us as fans. Whether it was Ben, Ron, the Pistons fans, or the 1-0 vote in the commisioners office. Say what you will about whether the Pacers had it coming. We, as Pacers fans - did not. So I will always remember 11/21 - because that is the earliest a Pacers season and the accompanying hope has ended in a while. Napolean had heard the cries on NYC talk radio on the 20th - nd his mind was made up - he could make an example of a small market team like he never would have the balls to do to a large market team.
I understand why so many of you felt a sense of pride for what this team accomplished. I do. But it did nothing for me. It was not like we were developing young players for future seasons. It was like a giant band-aid that never healed the wound. Am I proud of the character they displayed? Sure. Was it enough for me? Not considering what this season could have been.
So I was happy that we won like we did and made it to the playoffs - but I was not emotionally wrapped up into this team like I have been to team after team over the past 20 years or so. It was nice, but part of me just wanted the season to end.
I was proud that we won game 7 in Boston. But part of me wanted it to end there because I did not want the istons to beat us. But what if we could actually beat them?
Well, we couldn't - and last night I was just glad the season was over - and I was glad and felt damn lucky to have had Reggie on my team for 18 years. Even more, I felt lucky to be from a place that treated Reggie the way those in attendance did. I will see you all the night that 31 gets risen to the rafters.
I will post more of what I think of the changes needed as my head clears, but initially I would like you all to think about the fact that both Tins and jermaine were not 100% - cut them some freaking slack. Jax is a nice player when he is not a primary (top 2 or 3) option. So when Ron is back, he will be valuable - but we will need a 3 point threat ala Jon Barry. And we need a big body. A younger Dale. is that Harrison? No clue.
So now we have a month more of basketball. I may watch the WCF, but that is about it. Let's get Ron back and maybe Jermaine can hand deliver Reggie the ring we win next year.

Energy Company Teams With TPWD, Others To Reforest San Jacinto Battlegrounds Historical Landscape
LA PORTE, Texas — Ongoing efforts to restore the marsh at San Jacinto Battlegrounds State Historic Site took another step forward recently with the planting some 3,000 native hardwood trees along the shoreline and on Goat Island.
On March 3, more than 80 Shell/Motiva employees and their families joined with other volunteers to plant loblolly pines, bald cypress, red maples and several species of oaks along one mile of recently restored San Jacinto. Joining in the mass planting, made possible by a $150,000 donation from the energy company, were volunteers from the Port of Houston Authority, James Simmons Group, Cahagan and Bryant Engineers, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff and park hosts. The grant also will help fund the construction of a marsh viewing platform and prairie restoration.
The tree planting is part of Texas Parks and Wildlife's larger effort to restore the landscape of the San Jacinto park to conditions present at the time the Texan army defeated the encamped Mexican army on April 21, 1836.
The area once enjoyed diverse and complex ecological systems of native tall grass prairie, tidal marsh and bottomland forests, but cattle grazing, timber harvesting, fire suppression and dredging and other construction have dramatically altered the landscape in the last century. The park's shoreline and Goat Island had been submerged under the river's waters by subsidence and erosion. Sand and clay dug from the nearby Houston Ship Channel were used to restore these landmarks and the planted trees will reestablish the forest that was once present.
The revegetation project comes on the 100th anniversary of San Jacinto's acquisition by the State of Texas as the first state park. The historic site southeast of Houston, which includes the San Jacinto monument, battleground and Battleship TEXAS, is one of 112 Texas state parks and historic sites operated by TPWD.
Over the past few years, interpretive panels, a boardwalk and revegetation efforts have begun to return the Park's prairie, marsh, and forestland to the way it once looked when Mexican troops routed by Texan Gen. Sam Houston's volunteer army fled to try to escape the onslaught.

FINAL Video Blog - It's August. It's GBBF!
That's when we began our series of 12 monthly video blogs over the course of the year, financed solely by Peter Amor of Wye Valley Brewery, who wanted to put something back into an industry he felt he'd done rather well out of.
Peter's brief was strictly to champion British real ale, and to address the lack of pride and attention we have for it. Regular readers will know I'm becoming increasingly frustrated by partisanship and the creation of false enemies within the beer world, no matter what side it's on. Single-minded real ale advocates have long been the worst for this, but craft beer snobs are making efforts to catch them up.
But wherever your own beliefs lie, no one can argue that British real ale, while not entirely unique, is one of the most special, individual, eccentric, flavoursome, well crafted beers in the world. It is the only style of beer that can pack in a flavour explosion at 3.8% (excepting beers that are so hop-imbalanced they're undrinkable - and I say that as a hophead). Belgian and American beers are just as wonderful on their day - but they only seem to start being so at around 5% ABV.
If real ale were French, it would no doubt be iron-clad in appellation controlees and EU Protected Designations of Origin. It would be as famous globally - and as celebrated in its homeland - as Bordeaux wine, French cheeses and foie gras. It is a peculiarly English trait to be indifferent or even negative about things we're good at. I've never met a single non-real ale drinker who nevertheless sees our brewing prowess as something to be proud of, and I've met many real ale drinkers who believe it is not.
So even though I get frustrated with Old CAMRA diehards and am personally at least as likely to enjoy an American craft beer or German lager as I am a pint of best bitter, I was proud to be asked to co-present these blogs. We've toured the country, seeing a year of beer first hand, trying many excellent ales and meeting people from brewers large and small who love their craft. Every pub we've drunk in has been of outstanding quality. We've hopefully shown that Britain really should be proud of its beer and its pubs.
This final blog is from GBBF 2011 - edited and finished in time for you to watch it and then go along and try both the beers and the atmosphere. We both use the occasion to make some points we've come to feel strongly about on the journey. And I get to taste some beers that we missed along the way, several of them among my all-time favourite real ales. We didn't get chance to get everywhere in the country, and I'll always regret missing out Yorkshire and, to a slightly lesser extent, Kent and Sussex. But maybe there will be chance of another series.
Anyway - hope you enjoy the blog:
Thanks to Eggy, Kaz and Dave, to Ian for channeling an exasperated primary school teacher as he tried to direct and produce us, and especially to Mr Amor for the funding, the cantankerousness, and most of all the hats and bow ties.

Cracking blog there Pete,the whole mini-series really showed that British beer is alive, kicking and enjoying itself as a community. Also it's made me want a pint, so if you;ll excuse me....

A nice, positive, end to an excellent series. Was also good to see you both get more confident in front of the camera as the year went on - a career in showbiz perhaps beckons. Well, would be good practice for Saturday Kitchen at least!

Seconding on these comments - I really enjoyed these videos. I think the production values really raised them beyond the level of people drinking and the brewing aspect of them was great. Sad to see that this is the last.

Really enjoyed the whole series, and to have it topped off with the news that Mighty Oak won Champion Beer of Britain is brilliant.
A fantastic brewery - another success story for Essex brewing to go alongside Crouch Vale and others.

WASHINGTON In retrospect, George W. Bush's legacy doesn't look as bad as it did when he left office. It looks worse.
I join the nation in congratulating Bush on the opening of his presidential library in Dallas. Like many people, I find it much easier to honor, respect and even like the man now that he's no longer in the White House.
But anyone tempted to get sentimental should remember the actual record of the man who called himself The Decider. Begin with the indelible stain that one of his worst decisions left on our country's honor: torture.

SAN DIEGO (TheStreet) -- Russian-style saunas with birch branches to invigorate the skin, Alpine reenergizing massages, private hammams and caviar body treatments are just a few of the luxuries being unveiled by the Four Seasons at spas around the globe.
The spas, at Four Seasons hotels in St. Petersburg, Milan, Geneva and Shenzhen, are aiming to be among 2014's best new pampering hotspots, focusing on authentic, locally inspired treatments and over-the-top amenities.
The spa in Geneva for instance, Spa Mont Blanc at the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, was more than three years in the making and includes such things as an infinity edge pool overlooking Geneva, Roman hammams and a massage circuit pool that prepares the body for a hands-on massage.
"These are the things that make a difference between a normal spa and a destination spa," Jose Silva, general manager of the Four Seasons Hotel des Bergues, said during a recent phone interview. "People will say, 'I've been to spas, but I've never seen this before.'"
The Four Seasons has been at the forefront of the movement to include spa experiences as part of a hotel's offerings. Its first opened in 1986.
Spas in Geneva and Milan opened in October. St. Petersburg and Shenzhen spas are scheduled to open in early 2014. The luxury chain will be opening four additional hotels in 2014 in Dubai, Moscow, Orlando, Fla., and Johannesburg -- all with cutting-edge spas
But these spas are about far more then just deluxe amenities.
The spa in Geneva for instance, features highly trained therapists, some with medical backgrounds, and the treatments offered involve locally sourced products, Silva said.
"Two-thirds of our therapists have a medical background. They either have had chiropractic or shiatsu or Chinese medicine training, which are each typically four to five years of medical training. And the other members of our team are trained by them. So one of the first unique things about our spa is we elevate treatment from masseuse level to chiropractic or Chinese-medicine level. The precision of what is being done to the body is very different."
Spa Mont Blanc is also the only spa in Geneva to use exclusive Swiss Perfection products, Silva said. The local company makes products aimed at stimulating cell metabolism and enhancing the skin's natural renewal process. Treatments involving the products don't exactly come cheap: from 450 to 800 Francs per treatment at Spa Mont Blanc, or from about $500 to $880. The $500 treatments include such options as a cellular eye contour treatment that lasts 45 minutes or a cellular neck and decollete treatment, also 45 minutes.
Meanwhile, for $880 the spa offers the Cellular Exclusive Lift Concept, which among other things is supposed to improve firmness and promote cellular renewal. It also includes rejuvenating techniques to smooth away wrinkles.
The spa, open for only a little over eight weeks, is sold out nearly every weekend, Silva said. During the week the spa averages about 200 treatments.
"Our clientele are the affluent, but it's also people who have made a life choice. They want to be connected to the current time and like to be current and in style," Silva said.

A Georgia man was arrested last week for allegedly punching a woman in the face in front of Walmart, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, a couple from Washington State reported that they were in the store's parking lot on Airport Park Boulevard at 1:05 p.m. Feb. 4 when a man approached them and asked for a ride to Humboldt County.
The wife reported that the suspect, identified as Timothy R. McCartha, 40, of Georgia, became aggressive and tried to start a fight with her husband. When she intervened and stepped in front of her husband, the victim reported that McCartha punched her in the face.
An officer responded and located McCartha in a large group of people outside the store and placed him under "citizen's arrest for battery."
Thrift store broken into
A Ukiah man was arrested last week on suspicion of burglary after allegedly breaking into a thrift store, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, officers responded to the Nifty Thrifty in the 1200 block of South State Street around 10 p.m. Feb. 4 when the building's alarm sounded and found the glass front door had been broken out. Nearly $400 worth of items were reported stolen from the business.
Raymond E. Ellis, 27, of Ukiah, was contacted nearby by Mendocino County Sheriff's Office deputies and found to have a warrant for his arrest, as well as the stolen items on his possession, police said. Video footage also reportedly showed Ellis entering the business and taking the merchandise.
Ellis was arrested on suspicion of burglary, vandalism and violating his probation.
Driver passes out at intersection
A Covelo man was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after reportedly being found slumped over his steering wheel at a traffic light, the Ukiah Police Department reported.
According to the UPD, an officer saw a driver who appeared to be asleep waiting at a red light at the intersection of South State Street and Washington Avenue. When the vehicle did not move as the light turned green and red again, the officer approached the driver, identified as Ronald D. Maple, 49, of Covelo, who "appeared confused and was lethargic."
Maple was reportedly under the influence of an opiate, such as heroin or a prescription medication, as well as marijuana, and was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. Officers also reportedly found more than a pound of marijuana in several packages, several grams of methamphetamine, hydrocodone tablets and syringes in his car.
Maple was then charged with possessing and transporting a controlled substance, possessing a narcotic and possessing drug paraphernalia.

Surprise, surprise, surprise! -- Gomer Pyle
For several weeks now the market has been very optimistically predicting that a fiscal cliff deal would be made before the end of the year. What the market didn't count on was that Speaker Boehner would come up with a plan that neither the Democrats nor Republicans would accept.
No one expected Speaker Boehner's Plan B to pass the Senate, but the assumption was that it would make it through the House and be the basis for further negotiation. That turned out to be a very poor assumption and now the chances of a deal before the end of the year look remote.
What is particularly interesting is how the market didn't see this coming. The market is often given great respect as a discounting mechanism that prices in future events, but it was just dead wrong in this case. We even had a late rally yesterday in front of the Plan B vote as market players anticipated that a deal would eventually emerge from the political maneuvering.
The big problem, of course, is that the market hates this uncertainty and no one knows how much longer it is going to drag out. The Democrats weren't even going to accept Boehner's compromise deal and they are just going to laugh at what some of the House Republicans are demanding.
The good news is that it has been very difficult to put money to work in this market recently, so hopefully folks aren't too heavily long. A pullback here will give us some new opportunities, but the timing of this action really causes a high level of chaos. I suspect many market players are simply going to shut down now and enjoy the holidays rather than suffer through more of this painful political sideshow.
One of the other negative consequences of this failure to make a deal is that it may push more market players to lock in profits and harvest capital gains out of fear of being hit with the fiscal cliff tax increases. A retroactive deal can be made in 2013, but there is some real danger now that we will be hit by substantial tax increases as the politicians drag this out.
Technically the S&P500 has had a very nice run for a month as it anticipated a deal, but now it looks like we will quickly test support at the 50-day simple moving average around 1413. That will put the recent uptrend in question and many will be looking for downside momentum to build as the fiscal cliff takes a toll on the economy.
One of these days we will have a market again where we can focus on stock picking rather than central bankers and politicians, but today is not the day. We are handcuffed by the headlines and many market players are simply going to throw in the towel and ignore this market for a while.
We'll see if we have any sort of bounce after the open, but it is likely that many market players will be using strength as a means of escape. I will be in no big hurry to add long exposure right now.

OFF NIGHT?: Let's face it, Marcus Lattimore didn't have a great night, but he probably deserved to have one after being Secretariat over South Carolina's first three games. Vanderbilt did a terrific job stuffing the run, but Lattimore still got those couple of extra yards when he needed the first down. Lattimore managed to pick up 77 yards, most of them the hard way, and his 22-yard touchdown run was the same magnificent cut and scamper that everyone is used to seeing. He still had 77 to give him 607 for the season, and added 73 receiving yards to boot. He didn't have a real backup, since Kenny Miles was held up with a sprained wrist/busted hand, but the Gamecocks gave him enough support to win other than him. He did what he could, which some others couldn't say.
TERROR TWINS: It's becoming a pattern - Jadeveon Clowney sets it up, Melvin Ingram finishes. It happened again on Saturday, where Clowney caused a fumble from Larry Smith that Antonio Allen scooped and should have scored on. He would have, except one Vanderbilt player had the presence of mind to wind up and pop the ball loose from Allen from behind, where it took a perfect bounce and rolled into the end zone, and Ingram fell on it. Whatever is going on for Ingram right now - luck or good play, and he had plenty of the latter on Saturday - it's working. He has more touchdowns this year (three) than all of USC's receivers. Combined.
STONEWALLED: Yes, perhaps Vanderbilt got a little bit of raised publicity with its first three wins. Yes, perhaps the Commodores just aren't that good. But anytime a team can hold another team to below 100 yards for a game, it's awful danged good. USC held Vanderbilt to 77 yards. The Gamecocks had 12 tackles for loss and six sacks. They forced two fumbles and had an interception. And the Commodores only got to 77 thanks to 27 yards on the final possession, when USC had its second-stringers in. USC was evenly distributed on the tackles, with Marty Markett leading the way with five stops, and I thought Devin Taylor had an excellent game, although he was only credited with one tackle. Ellis Johnson got a game ball. Deservedly.
A.A. STANDS FOR ALL-AMERICAN: Allen. Four games. Three fumble recoveries. Two interceptions. A team-high 36 tackles. Two touchdowns. Heisman voters will start getting propaganda in mid-October, and while USC may have a bevy of literature, some of it needs to be about Allen.
GETTING THERE: As bad as the offense looked, it converted 10-of-19 third downs. Gamecocks were 15-of-35 coming in.
CONSTANT: Ace Sanders is getting really good at the box-out route, where Garcia can hit him in stride and he can get out-of-bounds. It seems to be the one throw that Garcia can hit every time, at least this season. Sanders led the team with four catches for 75 yards, and is proving to be Garcia's favorite target in the short field (since the long route has been practically non-existent this year).
HE DID IT!: The struggles of Stephon Gilmore have been well-documented over the past 18 games, and many seemed to center on that he seemed to hardly ever play inside on passes where he was out-jumped or beaten on. Gilmore would go for the man and not the ball, which led to the trouble. On Saturday, the pass went deep down the sideline, Gilmore had him step-for-step, he cut inside, leaped at the same time and caught the ball with the receiver. Close call, but the interception stood, and Gilmore had the play. Gilmore's getting coached to play inside, and did so; perhaps the success on Saturday will inspire more of the same.
RUNNING WILDS: Brandon Wilds might have to get that redshirt removed, especially if Miles doesn't get his hand better soon. Wilds, big and powerful enough to not go down on first contact, and speedy enough to avoid some tackles, looked good when he got the ball. His first play, naturally, was called back due to holding, but otherwise, Wilds showed enough to where he could get some carries as Lattimore's backup if Miles doesn't improve. He can still get the redshirt if the Gamecocks choose to "find" an injury for him, but that's up to them.
FINALLY: Victor Hampton made his long-awaited college debut, and looked very strong. He only had two tackles, but played his position well and showed some attitude when he made a stop. The Gamecocks need some help, especially at cornerback, and Hampton can provide that. He's done well off the field as well, and if that continues, there's no reason that he can't be the all-world player he's projected to be.
THAT'S THE SITUATION: No, the Gamecocks haven't looked good, particularly on passing offense and passing defense. But they are still 4-0 and 2-0 in the SEC. It's the first time they've been 4-0 under Steve Spurrier. If they have to win ugly, they're still winning.
BLOCK-HEADS: Offensive line coach Shawn Elliott feels that he has his best five on the field, which is why they played every snap against Georgia and Navy and almost every snap against Vanderbilt. Against the Commodores, though, they didn't look very strong. Lattimore had no room to run, often being swallowed after the handoff, and when Garcia did pull it together to complete a pass, it was sometimes called back for holding. Not a great night for Elliott's boys, and I'm pretty sure he knew it, after being seen several times screaming from the sidelines and venturing onto the field (not that that's a strange sight). The Gamecocks have backups, but aren't using them. Perhaps it's time to change that, going to Spurrier's old line that if the first guys aren't playing well, then give the new guys a chance. Vanderbilt's defense was good, and I would have to say still leading the country with 14 interceptions, but a guy that ran for 246 yards suddenly getting held to 77 isn't solely the cause of playing a strong defense (from a team regarded as the historical worst in SEC history).
AUTOMATIC: There need to be five pages in every playbook. They contain five plays that are automatic, short-yardage pickups every time. These are used in crucial situations where a team may need to use both downs on third and fourth, so it can keep a game-winning or go-ahead drive alive. USC may have those, but sure didn't show it on Saturday. First quarter, fourth-and-1 from the USC 40-yard-line, Garcia was stuffed for no gain when he tried to take the snap and leap over the top. Fourth quarter, USC trying to salt it away with a fourth-and-1 from the Vandy 35, Lattimore was squashed for no gain. Yes, Vandy's defense is good, but on those plays, especially against a tired unit in the fourth quarter, it shouldn't be that good.
LOOK OUT!: It was mentioned as a problem in preseason camp. T.J. Johnson was snapping high too many times. It wasn't a problem in the first three games. Now we all see why. Johnson was still snapping it high many times, but Garcia knew Johnson well enough that he knew were to place his hands to get it, pull it down and then direct the play. Well, when Bruce Ellington checked in on the Wild Wing package, Johnson snapped it over Ellington's head for a 16-yard loss. I don't blame Ellington, because he gives up five inches to Garcia and Johnson is used to snapping to someone five inches taller. But you could tell Johnson knew he was the one that screwed up because on the very next snap, Garcia back under center, Johnson snapped it so low that Garcia never had it and Dalton Wilson had to dive on it and recover the fumble. Distressing to see from a center with so much experience, but it didn't cost the Gamecocks - much.
RE-THINK?: I give Ellington a break on the high snap. Not his fault, in my eye. On the others, though … He had two kick returns for 52 yards. Straight-ahead running, no jukes or tries to avoid the pile. On the Gamecocks' second play from scrimmage, Ellington got the ball on an end-around. He skirted the end and dropped the ball. Just dropped it. It rolled out-of-bounds, but he still dropped it. I know it's only been four games, and I know he hasn't played football in quite a while, but is it maybe time to start thinking about returning full-time to a place where he knows he's a full-time commodity - the basketball court? Sure hasn't been any of this razzle-dazzle excitement I was supposed to have seen by now (against three opponents who are regarded as inferior).
STOP SHAVING: Either he needs to re-grow that beard, or camp in the film room for a week, or something, because whatever Garcia is currently doing, it is not working. A fifth-year senior should not be making these mistakes. Why is it, unless it's that Sanders box-out route, Garcia still can't hit a man in stride? Why is every deep pass a jump-ball? Why is he still locked into the trap of trying to make nothing plays into something? FOUR interceptions on Saturday. One wasn't his fault, the sideline throw to Alshon Jeffery where Jeffery was supposed to run a come-backer and quit running. The others? C'mon.
Scrambling, getting hit, throwing deep with one receiver in triple coverage. Scrambling, sideline throw, never saw the man camping underneath. Scrambling, gets to the 5, the Tim Tebow jump pass where Jeffery thought Garcia was running, the throw was beyond his outstretched hand and picked. And let's not even bring up the other two - Jeffery breaking up a pass to him in double coverage that he couldn't get, but the two defenders should; and the insanely lucky completion that was a pick, but was dropped, and Sanders was there to catch the ricochet.
Garcia offered no excuse but also didn't say it was squarely on him. He said sometimes he over-throws or under-throws, or it's the defense. For as many times as I've stood up for the guy and said he's the best option - and he is, for the offense that Spurrier is determined to run - this is just bad, bad football. A quarterback needs to be a leader, not a guy that depends on his tailback and his defense to do his work for him. Seven interceptions in four games. That doesn't have the NFL, or even arena football, drooling.
THEY WERE ALL … YELLOW: Nine flags for 67 yards. A.J. Cann got hit three times. Many wiped out big gains, like passes where Garcia actually knew what he was doing. It's hard enough to win at USC without USC contributing to the loss.
HOLD ON!: I really don't understand what's so difficult about coming up with a simplified system where the quarterback knows the plays and calls the signals. Every time I looked up on Saturday, Spurrier or Garcia were calling timeout, including one just before halftime, after 15 seconds had run off the clock, on a punt, with 59 seconds left in the half and knowing there were no remaining timeouts and that the team couldn't hit a downfield pass. Spurrier answered with a, "Not really," when asked if there was some mis-communication going on, but there's something troubling about going to the line, crouching, rising and gazing to the sideline with the expression of the lost sheep. Call the play. If there's a tricky defense on, audible. The Gamecocks' offense is in bad-enough shape without not being able to get a play called.
HOME-FIELD ADVANTAGE?: After Garcia threw a couple of picks, or there were some ill-timed timeouts, the Williams-Brice Stadium crowd booed. And I don't blame it. It should have booed. It's so frustrating to see a team with this much talent play this badly. I encourage the booing. Perhaps some of the players that are not playing up to snuff will get the message and get it together. As for the recruits that attended Saturday's game and doubtless heard it, take it like this - come here and play so well that you can end it.
GOLDEN HORSESHOE: Has that shiny U-shaped trinket traveled up I-85, then hit I-385 to I-26 and landed in Columbia after beginning its journey in Auburn last year? The Gamecocks are getting so lucky that they ought to make offseason plans for Vegas. Garcia said he'd rather be lucky than talented, and last night, it served him well. That Sanders catch, where the guy had Garcia's fourth interception (at the time), and dropped it with Sanders right in front of him to make a catch? The ball rolling in front of Ingram, who was only trying to escort Allen into the end zone? Spurrier squandering all of his timeouts with an offense that couldn't pass downfield, then seeing Garcia get blitzed, flip to Lattimore and him out-running somebody to the end zone (as good as Lattimore is, his breakaway speed is not a highlight)?
At the end of the day, USC is 4-0. Have the Gamecocks had lucky plays? Good Lord, yes. I realize that Spurrier would much rather win comfortably than on lucky plays, but the wins are there. The problem is keeping that going, and luck doesn't last forever.

Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss has been hospitalized for treatment of cancer, the Orange County Register reported Thursday.
Buss, 79, has been checked in to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles; a source told radaronline.com that Buss is near death. The Register reported that it had prior knowledge of Buss' condition but did not publish the information out of respect for the privacy of Buss' family.
Buss has spent much of the past year in the hospital. He didn't take part in this season's Lakers' photo day (it was the first time he had missed it) and hasn't attended a game in more than a year. His health has worsened over that period, according to the Register.
In the event he can no longer run the team, Buss plans to hand the Lakers to his six children. The business side would be run by his daughter Jeanie and the basketball side by his son Jim.
The Lakers came under Buss' ownership in 1979, when he bought 66 percent of the team. The franchise, one of the NBA's most visible, has since won 10 championships on the back of blockbuster deals and shrewd draft picks.

Police: Customer puts choke hold on hatchet-wielding robber
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A customer put a choke hold on a man with a hatchet who tried to rob a deli Sunday night, police said.
Officers arrived on scene at Ashley's Deli, 4027 Main Street, to find Sidney Sean Queener, 22, "in the grasp of the customer," Springfield Police said.
According to police, Queener entered the deli shortly before 9 p.m. with a hatchet and demanded money from an employee.
The customer, Daniel Gehrig of Springfield, said that he heard the events taking place from a nearby slot machine.
"The guy that was robbing the place had no Idea I was behind him," Gehrig said. "I looked back at the employee, he gave me that look of 'Oh my god, what can I do?' ... and that's when it kicked in."
Gehrig said that after he evaluated the situation before he tackled Queener.
"We struggled for a little bit, and I grabbed ahold of the hatchet. He started to struggle some more so I started choking him out until he gave up," said Gehrig. "I didn't even think, I acted. It wasn't about my safety, it was about helping (the cashier)."
Queener faces charges of first degree robbery and menacing.
The incident capped a busy weekend for police, who responded to three shootings and a destructive drunk driving crash in addition to the hatchet robbery.

With the introduction of the proprietary Adora black seedless grape this fall, Bakersfield, Calif.-based Sun World will now be able to offer retailers a full color spectrum of late-season seedless grapes — red, black and green.
Adora, more than 10 years in the works, will be joined by green newcomers Autumn Crisp and Autumn King as well as the mainstay Scarlotta Seedless red, said Gordon Robertson, senior vice president of sales and marketing.
"We feel very bullish about how this will affect our late-season varietal mix," he said.
All four grapes will be marketed under the Sun World label and their varietal name.
Adora is a large oval grape with a dark black skin and a very sweet taste, Robertson said.
Berries average about an inch in diameter, and he said internally it's jokingly referred to as a "two-bite" grape because of the size.
Adora also has virtually no seed trace. Autumn royal — another late black grape — is considered seedless but it has such a large seed trace that some consumers may mistake it for a seeded variety, he said.
Harvest of Adora, along with Scarlotta, will start in October and run through early November. Both grapes should be available through the December holidays.
Other varieties
The proprietary Autumn Crisp is a large, round green grape that has a crisp texture, a sweet almost muscat-like flavor and delicate skin.
Sun World had very limited quantities last year, since it was the first production season. But consumer response was tremendous, Robertson said.
"We had many consumers contact us about where they could find Autumn Crisp in the fall," he said.
"When you get that type of consumer response on top of customer response, it's very encouraging."
This year Sun World expects more volume as vines become more mature.
The firm is planting an additional 370 acres of grapes this season, of which a large part will be Autumn Crisp, Robertson said. It takes about three years before vines produce a crop.
This fall, Sun World also will introduce its first commercial crop of Autumn King, which will lengthen its marketing window for green grapes, Robertson said.
Harvest timing for the public variety is slightly later than Autumn Crisp, which is harvested from mid-September through mid-October.
The proprietary Scarlotta Seedless, with its large, red seedless berries, remains an anchor of Sun World's late-season grape program, he said. They are harvested beginning in late September and are available through December.
All four varieties will be available in high-graphic laminated handled bags as well as zip-closure cast polypropelene pouch bags, he said.
The clarity of the CPP bag lends itself to color graphics, and the pleated bottom allows it to stand up better in displays, Robertson said.
Traditional slider bags, on the other hand, don't stand upright as well and tend to be made from a cloudier plastic, he said.
Sun World also will offer retailers high-graphic easy-to-assemble merchandising bins that have an artisan or a farm-fresh look to them, Robertson said.
Quick-response codes on the displays will allow consumers to learn more about the varieties and where the grapes are grown.
"These bins can generate tremendous lift," he said.
"The grape category is all about impulse. But how do you allocate enough space to grapes to help drive the category, because grapes can be under-represented from a space perspective?"
The bins can be used to expand existing produce department displays or used as a secondary display elsewhere in the store.
Sun World has found the bins can help increase grape category sales by up to 38%, Robertson said.

Congratulations to your library on its Centennial year. …when I was little I wanted most of all to learn about new things. I visited the local library every week and checked out the maximum number of books, which was then 12. Six would fit into each of my bike baskets.

Book flights to colorful Asian city!
Fly to the middle of colorful Chinese culture! Shanghai is a modern and westernised city spiced with old Chinese traditions. The city consists of two parts - Pudong and Puxi.
Shanghai has changed radically over the past 20 years. Underdeveloped Pudong has grown into the modern metropolis of skyscrapers. In Pudong, you will find one of the world's highest buildings the Jin Mao Tower, a giant shopping center the Next Age / Ba Bai Ban and a huge aquarium Shanghai Ocean Aquariumin.
However Puxi is still Shanghai's cultural, residential and commercial centre. Huangpu River flows through the city, and the vivid boulevard next to the river is dotted with boutiques, restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Souvenirs are more than easy to find from the breathtaking variety of shops, boutiques and markets. The same abundance applies to the food. Shanghai offers delicacies from all the world's cuisines. Try exotic Chinese treats from street stands to luxurious restaurants.
