Restless Robert De Niro, an ex-Marine, becomes a New York Cab driver. Unable to sleep, even after long shifts, he frequents porno movie houses and observes the human garbage which he comes to hate, particularly the hookers and their breed. De Niro is attracted to Cybill Sheperd, campaign worker for Presidential candidate Leonard Harris. She's fascinated by De Niro's philosophy, while her co-worker Albert Brooks immediately dislikes him. When De Niro takes her to a sex film, she becomes disgusted and refuses to see him again. De Niro tries to get advice from fellow cabby Peter Boyle, then decides to arm himself. He becomes friendly with underage hooker Jodie Foster and attempts to rescue her from her pimp and lover, Harvey Keitel. With a Mohican-type haircut, De Niro nearly becomes an assassin at a Harris rally. In a bloody climax, he frees Foster by killing Keitel, Murray Moston and mafia collector Robert Maroff. Badly wounded, he recovers and gives Sheperd a ride in his cab.
Tie in with the Bantam Books paperback edition of the screenplay. The names of Oscar winner De Niro and of Scorsese, plus the critics' raves should do the trick.
On every street in every city in this country there's a nobody who dreams of being somebody. He's a lonely forgotten man desperate to prove that he's alive. Columbia 112 mins.

Mr McElroy, the Claimant in this case, was employed by an NHS Trust, and had direct responsibility for patients. The Employment Tribunal agreed that he did come to work smelling of alcohol, but that his subsequent dismissal for gross misconduct was unfair, even though it had happened before. Why?
Although there had been several incidents in the past, which had not been the subject of the Trust's disciplinary procedure, Mr McElroy was picked up on this occasion. He gave a number of inconsistent reasons for the smell of alcohol, including his aftershave, having eaten garlic, having had 2 cans of beer the night before, and using the hospital's hand disinfectant.
The Trust's disciplinary and substance misuse procedures were very significant in this case. These referred to the ability to dismiss, but only where the employee is unfit for duty. This was not the case here.
Mr McElroy was also dismissed for failing to attend an occupational health meeting to deal with the alcohol issue. This was not, however, raised as a disciplinary issue with him. Furthermore the relevant policy did not state that a refusal to participate would amount to a disciplinary offence.
For these reasons, Mr McElroy was found to have been unfairly dismissed.
Employers should review their policies to make sure that they are tailored to incidents such as these. The result in this case would have been completely different if it had forbidden the drinking of any alcohol at all. Furthermore, the NHS Trust should have been clear that they expected Mr McElroy to attend the occupational health meeting, and that this was to be deemed as a reasonable instruction, rather than as a helping hand.
This is a good example of the type of forensic approach a Tribunal can take, where, on the face of it, the outcome would appear to be obvious.

Ground lamb is perfect for a stuffed eggplant recipe. Slightly gamey lamb is mellowed some by the rich silky eggplant.
First off let me say I love eggplant, but it ain't everyday that I can naturally squeeze eggplant into a conversation with my crew. Don't get me wrong many of my guys know their way around the kitchen, but we ain't talkin eggplant in those moments. I'm catching side eye and an extra large side of clowning…
But my chef homies, yes we can talk eggplant and anything else. I was at a cooking event with Chefs Marvin Woods and Tre Wilcox of Top Chef fame. We were talking shop about soul food, and Tre blind sided us with the statement that he never cooked and actually didn't know how to cook soul food. This would be akin to someone saying they never smelled weed at a Hip hop concert.
Now we gave him da business about losing his hood pass and all that, but on further reflection I thought it's actually a great thing. He was a black chef free to just cook whatever. More importantly, we have enough chefs cooking "soul food"; it's time for some of us to leave La La Land and evolve the culture and food. Don't get me wrong, I love fried chicken, mac and cheese with that smooth velveeta melt, and a big ole plate of smothered pork chops but we got plenty of experts who provide this and plus I can't eat it everyday.
This stuffed eggplant recipe was born out of those conversations as we discussed the need and desire for more creativity in this space. Underscored in all of this was the attitude to be free and challenge the accepted norms. For example when people think soul food they don't think eggplant. Why not? We gotta keep it real, that's exactly what's wrong. Keeping soul food "real" is killing us literally.
So throw on some Digable Planets, cook this stuffed eggplant to this "Escapism" chorus…
"Get free, get free ya'll
Funk is you, funk is me, funk is us, funk is free
I think every mom and dad should say to their kids
K-k-kids be free
Be whoever you are and do whatever you wanna do"
Stuffed Eggplant Serving Suggestions
You can enjoy this as a one-dish main entree. It's filling so I prefer to serve with a few lighter sides or salads like:
Expert Cooking Tips For Lamb Stuffed Eggplant
The actual recipe is a simple one. It's just a riff on stuffed peppers. The only real difference is in the prep of the eggplant. Whereas peppers are hollow but firm, with eggplant you are essentially removing the flesh which holds it intact.
- In order for it to act as a vessel for the stuffing, a layer of the flesh has to be left behind to maintain the necessary firmness.
- Removing the flesh can be a little tricky so carving the flesh in criss-cross fashion makes it easier to remove. Going heavy on the olive oil helps also.
- The skin is edible
- Be flexible with the ingredients. Don't feel married to ground lamb, as other meats work just as good. Same holds true for vegetables
- Use traditional eggplant for this recipe that are longer than round

- 2 large eggplant halved lengthwise
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large onion halved and thinly sliced
- 4 garlic cloves crushed
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 1 12 oz can fire posted tomatoes
- 3/4 lbs ground lamb
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 lemon thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano finely chopped
- Cut a line 1/4 inch in from the edges of the eggplant halves, then score the flesh inside with a criss-cross pattern.
- Rub plenty of olive oil over the eggplant and season with salt. Arrange in a single layer in an ovenproof dish. Cook in preheated oven at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes until the flesh has softened. Set aside leaving eggplant in the dish.
- Season ground lamb with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat oil in heavy skillet and brown the ground lamb. Remove lamb to a paper towel lined bowl, set aside and clean the skillet.
- Heat oil in the cleaned heavy skillet, then add the onions, peppers and garlic, and saute over low heat 3-4 minutes. Increase the heat and add the tomatoes. Cook until the juices from the tomatoes have reduced some, then add salt and pepper to taste. Add the parsley and oregano to the onion/tomato mixture, then add the sugar.
- Scoop some of the flesh from the middle of the eggplant, leaving a shell around the outside to help hold the eggplant base in shape. Chop the scooped out section and add to the tomato mixture. Add the ground lamb and mix well. Pile the mixture into each of the four eggplant shells and sprinkle with additional black pepper and paprika. Arrange lemon slices on top. Add some additional olive on top and then dose with about 1/4 cup of water.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40 minutes until soft. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of cooking. Serve sprinkled with any leftover parsley and oregano.

Joey "Deez" Blog "The Rust Belt Rattled"
Today's blog comes from one of my dad's mentors, Dan Sanders:
*** At the bottom of the page is a short note about protest that I had to include after watching the violent outbursts across the country after Donalds Trumps Presidential Victory.
The trivia question for this week is, what song does this line come from: "The light he said at the end of the tunnel / Was nothin' but a burglar's torch"?
Well, the Make America Gasp Again campaign is finally over. It ended in a night of shock and awe-my-God as Donald Trump walked all over the prognosticators predictions as they watched their nice little map of blue states and red states fall to pieces like the jigsaw puzzle maps I constantly got for my birthday when I was a kid. It seemed I heard the same mantra on every channel I went to: What are we seeing? How could this be happening?
What was happening was the mad-as-hell scene from the 1976 movie Network. People might not have been screaming out their windows at the top of their lungs, but your average Joe or Mary were rattling the rust off the belt in the upper northeastern United States, the Great Lakes, and the Midwest, areas suffering economic decline, population loss, and urban decay due to the shrinking of its once-powerful industrial sector. Joe and Mary didn't get to move on up to the east side, and if they got any pie at all, it was old and stale. Now they are justifiably mad as hell at what they see as false promises and business as usual in Washington and are ready to have their voice heard and make a change. Apparently the loudest they could scream was by voting for the biggest change they could, a racist, sexist person who makes fun of disabled people and calls for offensive bombing attacks on sovereign nations because someone gave the middle finger. This is a very short list of the insane thoughts of the man some now call president, but maybe when you have been kicked long enough and you feel powerless and someone with high visibility comes along shouting many of the things you feel, even if you don't agree with all of them, you'll let them get away with groping women and making fun of the disabled just as long as they seem to be telling the establishment to take an effing walk off a short pier.
I was driving a young friend home from work the other day, and we were talking about the election and the surprise we both had at how completely Trump marched to victory. I got on my soapbox about the 1960's and protest and "The People" working for change. My friend, while young in years, is wise, and she said, "I am afraid that kind of passion is gone."
Did you hear? The immigration website in Canada crashed with people wanting to leave America (or at least wanting to know how). To me, leaving is the wrong move. Stay in this country and organize, write, talk, march, protest. Do everything you can to make Donald Trump miserable and bring his regime to a quick end. Remember, it is still a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, and this is our country. He may be in the White House, but he can be impeached. Watch him closely and draw attention to his every false move. In my mind, he's only one discovered crime behind Richard Nixon. If there are enough people to crash Canada's immigration website, there are enough people to bring his Big Top Circus in D.C. crashing down on the clown's head.
I would like to say this is my last political blog and write about cute cats and puppies and clever kids that do tricks, at least for a while. I would like to say that and so I did, but I may also have lied.
In the podcast I'll have the answer to the trivia question and as always some rock and roll news and history. I hope you'll join me on the shores of Rambling Harbor.
*** Protest ( the podcast is below this)
PROTEST: Since I have made it very, very, clear that I am in favor of protesting, I encourage protesting, and in fact have taught people how to protest. NOW: I want to make it just as clear that the protesting I am seeing on the news is not a protest but a RIOT. There is no place in a real protest for looting, burning, rock throwing, or in any way retaliating against whatever police force be responding with violence. Doing so only gives sound and video bites to the very side you are opposing.

InMomentum InTransition To Unreal 3 Engine
Interesting news for InMomentum, the splendid esoteric free running platform… thing. They've just been approved by Epic to move over to the Unreal 3 engine. The game, currently in beta, was previously using the Unreal Development Kit. But now they say they're able to do a lot more, with a more flexible engine and greater polish. As project lead Norbert Varga explains to us, after praising UDK, "Ever since we started working with UE3, things started to work a lot better." But there's a lot more going on in the colourful geometric world, too.
Epic seem pleased too. Their European Territory Manager (I love publisher job titles) Mike Gamble gave a neat cough, put on his press release voice, and said,
"As part of our mission to provide developers with the best tools, we are keen to see Digital Arrow fully realize their unique vision for InMomentum. The studio has already come a long way by using our free UDK toolset, and is now positioned to achieve even more success with a commercial Unreal Engine 3 license."
Digital Arrow seem to have an enormous amount of ambition for the game. When we first played it, it was already a very exciting idea, well executed. But as the beta goes on, it keeps evolving. And we're hearing rumours that hidden in the game is something of a single-player narrative-driven campaign that they're not even discussing yet. There are further plans to let the game start getting influenced from the outside, but that's all pretty vague at the moment.
Varga promises us that the game will continue to evolve after release too, explaining that it will frequently be patched.
"What users can also expect is constant patches which will be heavily influenced by user support upon release. We've already added some edits to our game modes based on the beta feedback, and the game plays so much better. Most of the user feedback has already found its way into the game one way or another, and the rest will follow shortly as new patches arrive."
They're not kidding about that. Entire new game modes are being added at the beta users' suggestion, as we can exclusively reveal.
"All of our levels have been boosted up to these new visuals as well, and there are some additional levels in the making for a game mode that users suggested – a game mode inspired by Super Smash Bros: knock your enemy off – get points – stay alive the longest = win."
However, that mode is not yet in the beta.
And another thing – the soundtrack is beginning to be revealed.
To give you an idea of the difference UE3 will make to the game, here's a before-and-after image:
The game is due out in the first half of October, if all goes well. But if you want to get your hands on it right now, we've got 50 Steam beta keys to give away.
The first 50 people who email firstname.lastname@example.com with the title "stick your key in me" will get one. If you don't use that title, you'll not get a key, and I'll mark you as spam. And kick you. They're all gone now, sorry.

I love capturing special birthday parties for parents. And those parties for under 5s are very special indeed! Our youngsters change more in those first five years than any other period. Consequently those precious photographs of those memories are special.
I've been to A LOT of under 5s parties and have compiled a tip list to share!
- Most parties follow a similar format, in that parents hire an entertainer. It definitely reduces the stress to get someone in who can engage under 5s with ease. As parents we can be great with our own, but entertaining a group, with parents watching on, raises anyone's stress levels!
- Most entertainers will still offer scope for parents to decide on a theme. Asking youngsters to dress up too all adds to the party vibe. It also reduces the need for decorations, because the guests provide the theme decor!
- If you are inviting boys and girls, themes which work well for both genders are often the following: Farm or Jungle Animal Themes / Pirates & Under the Sea themes / Circus themes / Transport, Wild West and Hero themes or parties based on well known characters like Paddington or Beatrix Potter stories.
This Pirate party was led by one musician, Tabitha Blyth. She is well known in the area for running Tabby's Tunes music classes for pre schoolers so most guests were very familiar with her and her whirl of puppetry, songs, games, parachute action and bubbles. Impressively her parachute for this bash was sea themed, with trailing seaweed and came with an abundance of sea-life.
Tabby's activities shifted about every 6-10 minutes, so she really packed in a lot in an hour. Experienced with under 5s, she knows maintaining pace and not asking them to stick with one activity for too long creates the most fun.
The kids lapped it up before eating up their pirate buffet and lining up for eye patches, swag bags and cake. And, so follows the next tip, because this was not a long party.
- 90 minutes is often LONG ENOUGH. A lot of parents feel they need to offer a 2 hour party, but most entertainers for under 5s offer the one hour option through experience. Often an hour's worth of party time followed by food and cake is plenty for this age group.
And finally, the best tip in the world for EVERY party….
- Party bags are the best and politest way to tell parents and children it is time to go home! They needn't contain a lot, often a balloon is the biggest treat under 5s need, with some colouring pages and a small sweet treat.
This party imagery is private, so there are deliberately few guest images shared here. You can browse more of my party work elsewhere on my blog and through my gallery page here.
Last tip!
- Often there are only so many parties before your youngsters prefer to go bowling or to the cinema or just out with pals without us! So, understandably parents want to treasure those extra special parties where they hire in a photographer. Not every party warrants pro photography, but have a read of this blog if it will help you to decide!

CNN Misquotes President Trump Then Freaks Out Over Fake Statement
As bad as what Fake News CNN is doing as they misquote President Trump, it starts out even worse, in the setup to what they pretend is a spontaneous interaction between their hired hit man Jeffrey Toobin and staff propagandist Jake Tapper. Pretending to that theirs is an actual conversation, not the scripted assault on the President that they are demonstrating it to be, Toobin asks, "Can I just raise one point about what "I thought" the President said, that I thought was interesting and perhaps a clue to how things may unfold in the future?" Tapper, answered "sure" during the course of his request to bring up the topic."
Two CNN Fake News revelations took place during that sentence. The first being that he's asking permission to raise the issue and the phony permission is being granted, to a scripted and predetermined topic of discussion that they've already cued up the video for. The other is that Toobin, perhaps inadvertently admitting he's lying, phrased his request describing the President's comments as "what I thought he said." Is there a reason to say that other than because it's deliberately misrepresenting what he knows he actually said? Why would he say he's addressing what he thought the President said rather than simply what he said? Tapper plays the clip he "just happened to have ready to go, 'having heard' the same thing."
President Trump said in the clip, "But the entire thing has been a witch hunt. And there is no collusion between, certainly myself and my campaign, but I can always speak for myself and the Russians, zero."
Tapper does the follow up as the moron former prosecutor chuckles, saying, "And there it is Jeff, as you know, he said 'certainly myself and my campaign but I can only speak for myself.' Maybe their ears are still ringing from all the champagne corks that were popping around them at CNN headquarters with the news of Mueller's appointment, maybe they're just out of practice of listening or are so used to making up their own version of events they never gave it a thought when they misquoted him. "Always" is different from "only" although it's undoubtedly what these CNN Fake News hacks wanted to hear.
Surely President Trump is getting all kinds of legal advice on what to say and what not to say. He's be wise to not take live questions any more until after the witch hunt is complete.
Keep laughing Toobin, the fact that you and Fake News CNN think anyone trusts or believes what you're putting out is truly what's funny.

Petr Cech was in positive mood after another pre-season clean sheet in Indianapolis on Thursday.

'It was a deflection, so I took it really fast and I chose the right thing to do, going with the opposite hand,' said the Czech. 'I was on time, and I was happy with that because at that point we were 1-0 up and 1-1 could have been a different story.'
As it was we ran out comfortable 2-0 winners, with returning internationals from Brazil, Spain and Nigeria all acquiring their first competitive action of the new campaign.
'In pre-season you have players with a different state of fitness so you have to adapt to that,' Cech said. 'The second half was different because they had the guy sent off and we had players playing for the first time.
'When you come in, we had three weeks and most are much fitter than those who played for the first time. We're glad they got their first 30 or 45 minutes under their belts, we won again which is important and we had no injuries. This is massive.'
The goalkeeper was also impressed by the surroundings in Indianapolis, finding an ultra-modern stadium with an excited local support, including one fan decked out in complete Cech kit, gloves and helmet included.
'I saw him on the big screen, I thought it was funny,' he said. 'Also the stadium was fantastic. We are based in Washington where we have all the facilities we need to progress, and coming to places like Indianapolis, New Jersey and Miami is always good.'

TORONTO - A global outlook from Royal Bank says an improved U.S. economy could be a boon for Canada — and that could push the central bank to raise interest rates before the end of the year.
Mark Chandler, head of fixed income and currency strategy at RBC Capital Markets, says he expects the Bank of Canada to boost rates by as much as half a percentage point.
An increase in rates would rely on domestic economic growth to pick up the pace, rather than slow as it did late last year.
Royal Bank doesn't expect momentum to decline, however, an instead suggests that if the U.S. economy continues to pick up the pace, then demand will climb for some of Canada's biggest exports into the latter half of 2013.
The industries that would benefit most include ones that produce materials for the recovering U.S. housing sector, as well as the automotive industry, capital spending, and industrial production.
He says growth in the U.S. would also push commodity prices higher and keep the Canadian dollar elevated.

What Is the Difference Between a County Tax Auction & a Bank Auction for Real Estate?
Homeowners who default on mortgage payments can have their properties foreclosed and sold at a bank auction. A home also can be foreclosed by a government entity when homeowners are delinquent on their property taxes. While lender foreclosures and auctions return money to the lender, tax foreclosures and auctions benefit only the foreclosing government.
Auction Purposes
Bank foreclosure and delinquent property tax foreclosure generally share the same outcome, which is foreclosure and repossession of property. However, auctions or sales following a foreclosure differ based on who's conducting them. Bank foreclosure auctions usually are scheduled through auctioneer companies and designed to net foreclosing lenders as much money as possible. Property tax auctions can be conducted on courthouse steps and are designed to net foreclosing government units what they're owed for back taxes.
County Tax Auctions
Once a county or other local government unit forecloses a property for delinquent taxes, that property is scheduled for eventual auction. Governments tend to hold property tax auctions on a regular schedule throughout the year. Once tax-foreclosed properties are listed for auction, they're frequently bid on at oral public auctions hosted by the foreclosing governments. Those foreclosing governments want to recover only what they're owed, and there may or may not be money left over to distribute to any other lien holders.
Lender Auctions
When a lender forecloses a property and auctions it, the intent is to maximize the property's auction sale price. In a perfect world, a lender foreclosing a property would auction it and recover at least what it's owed. However, foreclosing lenders might not recover what they're owed when selling a foreclosed property at auction. But foreclosing lenders can accept or reject bids on their foreclosed properties in accordance with their financial needs.
Lien Survival
Another difference between lender foreclosure and government property tax foreclosure has to do with property lien survival. When a lender forecloses a property, it might pay off or otherwise eliminate any liens on that property's title. However, lenders are free to sell their foreclosed properties "as is" and with liens still on the titles. Property tax liens, though, are superior to all other liens, and foreclosure for property taxes frequently wipes away non-tax-related junior liens, including any mortgages.
Beware Property Liens
Foreclosure investors intending to bid on properties usually pay title companies to search those properties' titles for liens. It's important to search a foreclosed property's title for liens because of the deeds given with those properties. Although lenders might give warranty deeds guaranteeing a foreclosed property's title, foreclosing governments frequently issue quit claim deeds. Quit claim deeds don't guarantee title, meaning any other tax or surviving title liens usually become the responsibility of the foreclosed property's new owner.

Narcissistic Children or Adults. Narcissism. We all have a general idea what does that mean. Maybe you have experienced a narcissistic individuals around you. Maybe you have heard stories how they impact people around them. But one thing is clear: they can be more than a bit unpleasant.
"Narcissistic personality disorder is in fact a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance. They have a lack of empathy for others and a deep need for admiration. But behind this mask of ultra confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Narcissism can be a genetic characteristic, but, more often than not, it is developed overtime in relation to a specific parenting style.
Researchers wanted to know what parenting styles were more likely to create a narcissistic personality. So, they took a survey on exactly 565 children between 7 – 11 years old. They also made interviewes with their parents (415 mothers and 290 fathers).
The results showed that parents express excessiv admiration to their children. They tell them that they are superior to others, and deserve special treatment. These kids are more likely to become narcissistic children who may grow up to be narcissistic adults.
This is particularly true for children between the ages of 7 – 11.
Researchers stated in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences:
"When parent see their children more important, more entitled and more special than other children, they may actually incorporate or internalize the view that as individuals, they are superior. It is actually a view that is at the core of narcissism.
But when parents treat their own children with appreciation and affection, they may in fact incorporate the view that they are valuable individuals. That's a view that is at the core of self-esteem."
In fact, it is very important to show attention and affection. Bot not teach your children that they have your affection because they are better than everyone else. It is also important to remember that narcissism may develop because of a child's need to protect an insecurity.
There are a lot of ways to help children feel good about themselves.
You can do that without encouraging narcissistic tendencies.
Here are some great tips!
Teach children to connect and not impress
Make sure to tell your kid you love spending time with him or her because you love him or her, not because of what the child can do. Your child will mimic this in future relationships.
Teach Empathy
Children need to understand that their actions can hurt another person. By teaching your child to be aware of other's emotions or feelings, you are giving them social skills that will stay with them into adulthood.
Encourage friendships
It is important to allow your children to build friendships. Friends will tell them the truth and teach them that they do not need to be perfect to be liked. These times are also ideal for teaching your child how their actions affect others.
Be gentle
At their root, most narcissists, and especially narcissistic children, have low self-esteem. Discipline is important, but do it with respect and care. Remind them that it is okay to make mistakes, but it is important to apologize. They know they did something wrong. Teach them how to make it right.

Nice pics. I did the whole trail a few years ago so bringing back memories
Great, I have a blog about it. At the moment it's in Dutch, but I'm going to translate it in English (once I finish Hadrian's Wall Path). I'll let you know. Might bring more memories/inspiration.@bricam2096 Are you going to do the full trail? Where will you start and end?
I did Offa's from Knighton to Prestatyn a couple of years ago, kind of on a whim. I had a week of work and wasn't sure what to do with it, so I bought the Trailblazer guide and off I went. I absolutely loved it and caught the long distance walking bug. The first day was Knighton to Mellington over the switchbacks which was tough going and something of a baptism of fire for walking with a heavy pack (something I'd never really done before for more than 3-4 miles for overnight wild camping), but I got stronger and fitter, day on day. When I got to Prestatyn I was full of beans and would have happily walked all the way back again. Sadly i had to return to work though.Since then I've done other National Trails but Offa's Dyke may be my favourite still. There's so much variety along the route. I'm planning to return in April to do Knighton to Chepstow.
New Dog and I will be doing most of this in May. I hope the weather is like that in the pics.

Travel Channel Invests in Oyster.com
Your spring break just got fancier. The Travel Channel has, according to a press release, "acquired a meaningful interest" in Oyster.com, an upscale hotel booking site based in New York City. Founded in 2008, Oyster.com started out as a review site like Trip Advisor and grew to be a full-service transaction site like Hotels.com, using professional writers – not consumers – to check out the hotels in person, take candid photos, and write the reviews. Per the agreement, Oyster.com will share exclusive content with the Travel Channel, as well as collaborate on cross-platform promotional opportunities and programming.
Said Travel Channel president Laureen Ong:
This is a transformational event for the Travel Channel. Entering into a strategic relationship with Oyster.com greatly broadens our position as a trusted source for information and allows us to go beyond the inspiration and entertainment we offer on television. Simultaneously, this partnership provides an incredibly meaningful way to connect with and improve the experience of travelers and adventure seekers everywhere.
Said Oyster co-founder and CEO Elie Seidman:
We believe in engaging audiences through the power of a strong respected brand and reliable expertise. That's what we're building at Oyster.com and we were always impressed with the trust and knowledge that Travel Channel represents, and the large and discriminating audiences it attracts.
UPDATE: This morning GalleyCat editor Jason Boog interviewed Seidman on the Morning Media Menu about the Travel Channel's investment, which Boog reports was $7.5 millon. Follow this MP3 link to hear more about the deal.

Under a radiant July sun the first ever Haute Route Alpe d'Huez riders completed the inaugural edition today, after three days of magnificent cycling on and around Alpe d'Huez. Riders completed a total of 245km and climbed over 8,700m through some of the most famous climbs in the Alps: Glandon, Croix de Fer, les 2 Alpes and the three different ascents up Alpe d'Huez from Bourg d'Oisans, Villard-Reculas and col de Sarenne.
The short and sharp 74km long final stage provided the final test of the event; riders got to enjoy a tough stage with beautiful panoramic views over the Vallée de l'Oisans from the Balcons d'Auris and over the Muzelle Glacier during the ascent up Col de Sarenne.
Ex-Professional cyclist Frank Schleck from Luxembourg, who won a stage of The Tour atop Alpe d'Huez in 2006, shared his thoughts after three days riding in the peloton of amateur riders: "It was a beautiful stage today, I tried to enjoy it as much as possible, especially atop Sarenne where the view is stunning. Riding another 3km up Alpe d'Huez after a short descent was a great way to finish as well. Riders were lucky to see all three ascents of Alpe d'Huez actually, each has its own character, but the Bourg d'Oisans side remains my favourite obviously because that's the one where I won."
"Cyclosportives like the Haute Route are great," he added, "they allow riders of all abilities, who share the same passion for cycling, to live a great experience together."
American rider Jason Eckenworth, discovering the Alpe d'Huez region for the first time this week, is unlikely to forget the experience: "It's the first time I'm riding here in Alpe d'Huez and it's great to stay three days in the same location. The views are splendid and it's incredible to be riding on some of the most renowned climbs in cycling. I'm going to buy a personalised KM marker to commemorate it".
French Haute Route veteran Céline Schuller thoroughly enjoyed the new 3-day format and shared her thoughts with us after the final stage: "It's a more accessible format for riders who aren't used to riding long days back to back. You can also ride harder and faster than on the 7-day events since it is much shorter. I was delighted to ride with Emma and Tatjana again after we met in the Dolomites. There's a great atmosphere and everyone encourages each other; for me that's reason enough to sign up!"
Frenchman Cedrick Dubois added the Haute Route Alpe d'Huez to his 2016 Haute Route Pyrenees victory, winning by over 30 minutes from his compatriot Julien Brun and teammate Richard Scales. In the women's race Emma Pooley from the UK took the win ahead of Swiss riders Elise Chabbey and Tatjana Ruf.
Race director Jean-Francois Alcan was delighted with the first iteration of the 3-day Haute Route format: "It's a great success for the first edition of a 3-day event. I'd like to thank all of our partners as usual, especially the town of Alpe d'Huez for their warm welcome and support. Thanks also go to all the towns and communes we passed through, the volunteers on the side of the road and the rest of the organisation team".
Following the success of this first edition, the second edition is already in the calendar for 2018 and is set to take place this time over the weekend of July 13th, 14th and 15th. Further information and registrations will soon be available on hauteroute.org.
Next up in the 2017 Haute Route calendar are the traditional 7-day long Pyrenees (August 13th-19th), Alps (August 21st-27th) and Dolomites (September 2nd-8th) events, as well as the brand new 3-day Haute Route Ventoux taking place in Bédoin from October 6th to 8th.

With e-mail marketing, you'd better prepare to get your hands dirty.
Unlike postal direct marketing, e-mail marketing will allow you to learn more than you probably ever wanted to know about the unsuccessful aspects of delivery.
You will learn from two sources: bounce-back reports provided by your e-mail service provider and customers themselves.
Bounce-back reports simply identify undeliverable e-mail addresses. In other words, the message could not be delivered fora variety of reasons, as we'll discuss later.
You can also expect to hear directly from those customers who received duplicate e-mail messages, from those who believeyou are spamming them, from those who can't view the message correctly, even from those who expected to hear from youbut never received the message.
Let's look at the two main areas where these glitches occur: message delivery and message creation. I'll discuss the former inthis column and the latter in a second column.
Message delivery includes everything that happens from the time you hit the Send button and your message starts winging its way across the Internet.
Are We There Yet?
E-mail is not like postal mail, which uses a well-established, simple, and consistent process. This process usually ensures that you can create a package and reliably deliver it into the hands of the intended recipient.
Keep in mind that the Internet is a still-evolving collection of hardware and software technologies operating on a Web of data communications systems and protocols. As a result, any number of combinations of technology-related issues can conspire to screw up the successful delivery of a message.
E-mail uses a store-and-forward process. Messages are not magically handed over directly to the recipient's inbox. Rather, they undertake a sometimes tortuous journey between computers.
En route, a message is first delivered from your PC to your ISP's e-mail server. From there, it travels via several other e-mail servers until it finally reaches the recipient's e-mail server. At that point, it's uploaded to the recipient's e-mail browser.
As these e-mail servers "talk" to each other, they read and add to the header information, which provides information about what is being delivered, to whom, and via which route.
Sometimes, one or more servers in the chain are temporarily unavailable. Maybe one is overloaded for a while or is off-line for servicing. Maybe the network is congested. Or perhaps a data cable has been cut by backhoe.
For many reasons, therefore, e-mail can take a while to reach its intended destination, and it is impossible to predict how long it will take to deliver every message.
Know the Enemy
Here are some other reasons delivery might fail or be delayed:
- The recipient might have changed e-mail addresses and forgotten to notify you.
- If you send messages often enough or in a sufficient volume, the recipient's ISP might automatically invoke spam blocking, thus preventing the message from reaching the recipient's inbox. Or it might be diverted automatically to a bulk e-mail folder, which the user has to search separately.
- In some cases, virus scanning software on your customer's PC might erroneously block or discard HTML messages, especially those containing scripts, believing them to contain viruses.
- Very occasionally, messages can simply get lost on the Internet due to system or network failure somewhere along the delivery chain. More often, however, it will simply be delivered later, after a number of attempts, once the temporary network glitch is fixed.
Double Trouble
In some cases, a recipient might receive multiple copies of the same message for the following reasons:
- Failure to de-dupe your customer e-mail address list before delivery, so the same customer is listed with more than one e-mail address.
- If you use more than one vendor to deliver your e-mail messages, each might send e-mail to the same customer.
- The most common cause is a misconfigured e-mail gateway at the destination ISP. If this is the case, the recipient will typically -- though not always -- see all mail duplicated within a given time frame.
- A rare timing error can occur whereby a message is successfully passed along by a mail server, receives no delivery confirmation from the receiving mail server, and so is resent.
- This confirmation process occasionally fails if either the sending or the receiving server has a temporary technical glitch during the send-and-response cycle.
- Certain firewall applications can also corrupt this confirmation process, resulting in the delivery of multiple copies of the message. This can also result from a configuration error or a software bug in the recipient's e-mail server.
Ignorance Isn't Bliss
Finally, what about e-mail messages that don't reach the intended recipients while you remain unaware of the situation?
This will sometimes occur. For example, some ISPs will automatically filter e-mail they believe to be unsolicited commercial e-mail into a bulk e-mail folder that the recipient has to peruse separately. Or, in some cases, ISPs block delivery of bulk e-mail to their members.
Often, the only way you can detect this is if the ISP notifies you of spam complaints from its members or if you suddenly detect an unusually low viewing or response rate from particular domains you are sending to.
Here's an example. Say all your messages to recipients at Hotmail have, until now, been generating a good response. Then you receive no response at all. This is a strong indication the ISP has blacklisted you, meaning it is now blocking any messages from you.
In such cases, you or your e-mail marketing provider will have to work directly with the ISP to meet any compliance or prior notification requirements it might have.
