Help to Sell
From old to new in 4 easy steps – and help towards estate agents' fees
What is Help to Sell?
Help to Sell is a great way to make moving home simpler. It enables you to buy a brand new Redrow home, while we take care of selling your current property for you; even helping out with a contribution towards your estate agent's fees. With Help to Sell, we'll arrange the valuations, appoint an estate agent to conduct your home's marketing activity and take the paperwork off your hands too.
Who is it for?
For all homeowners looking for a hassle free way to sell their home. Unlike Part Exchange, Help to Sell covers any home, whether it's a flat, maisonette or ex-council house, whatever the value relative to the price of your new Redrow home. So whether you want to move up, downsize or even step sideways, Help to Sell could be the best move you could make.
How does it work?
Help to Sell helps you move into your brand new Redrow home in four simple steps:
Step 1 - Choose your new Redrow home
Step 2 - We'll agree a valuation and marketing plan for your existing property
Step 3 - We will work with the estate agent to achieve a quick sale and contribute towards your fees
Step 4 - Reserve and move into your new Redrow home
What should I do next?
For an easier way to move, talk to a Redrow Sales Consultant today about how Help to Sell can help get you moving.
The contribution towards *estate agent's' fees will vary depending on the property being purchased. Please liaise with our Sales Consultants for full details. Please note, if having sold your property through Help to Sell, you decide for any reason you no longer wish to proceed with the purchase of the Redrow home, then you become responsible for the estate agent's fees and costs. If a customer completes on their related sale prior to the completion of their Redrow home they must pay the estate agent fees in full and the Redrow fee contribution will be reimbursed upon legal completion. Subject to build stage.
Part Exchange
The chain free way to upgrade to a new Redrow homeWith no lengthy chains getting in the way, and all your estate agent fees paid for you, Part Exchange is the easiest and most straightforward way to move to your new dream home.
If this sounds like your cup of tea, then pop down to the development that's caught your eye and have a chat with one of our Sales Consultants. They'll not only tell you which of the properties are available for Part Exchange, they'll fill you in on all the finer details.
If you're happy with what you hear, you'll then be asked to complete a simple questionnaire. When that's done, we'll set the ball rolling by arranging for an independent estate agent to value your home.
For Part Exchange to take place, the value of your property must usually be a minimum 35% less than your chosen home. Subject to availability, on selected plots only

New York Attorney General Letitia James announced on Thursday, April 4, 2019 that her office has filed a lawsuit against Park Avenue Stem Cell, accusing the for-profit stem cell clinic of performing unproven procedures on patients with wide-ranging medical conditions. The lawsuit is one aspect of Attorney General James' crackdown on stem cell clinics in New York, which often promise miraculous results despite insufficient scientific evidence.
FDA Struggles To Regulate Stem Cell Clinics
The FDA is also struggling to keep up with growth in the stem cell industry, taking on rogue clinics across the country offering unproven treatments. In early April, the agency warned two dozen clinics nationwide to stop offering treatments that may harm patients.
Big Promises, Unproven Results
The FDA says that many clinics and stem cell manufacturers offer therapies to treat medical conditions from erectile dysfunction and sore knees to heart disease without any proof that the treatments are safe or effective.
Some of the stem cell treatments have already proven dangerous, and critics of the industry blame a lack of regulation. At a Florida stem cell clinic, three women were blinded after stem cells were injected into their eyes. And in California, twelve patients were hospitalized with severe infections after being injected with stem cells derived from umbilical cord blood.
Park Avenue Stem Cell
In Midtown Manhattan, Park Avenue Stem Cell, the company currently under scrutiny, claims that "current literature in the scientific community suggests that treatment with these cells represent a medical breakthrough in the treatment of many chronic medical conditions." The clinic's website claims it offers "personal cell therapy" to "enhance the healing process in your own body." But regulators say these claims have yet to be proven, at least when applied to the specific treatments offered by Park Avenue Stem Cell.
Park Avenue Stem Cell is run by Dr. Joel B. Singer, a plastic surgeon. In 2007, Singer was sanctioned by medical regulators in Connecticut and New York over allegations of negligence, incompetence and inaccurate record keeping. He was fined $5,000. Dr. Singer is also reportedly operating a GoFundMe campaign in hopes of offering stem cell treatments at no charge. The campaign promises, "not only chronic pain, but other ailments such as post traumatic brain syndrome, autoimmune diseases, orthopedic injuries and other ailments can be helped by this amazing procedure." No one has yet donated to the campaign.
Cell Surgical Network
Regulators also say Park Avenue Stem Cell was part of the Cell Surgical Network, a business based in California with around 100 affiliate clinics across the country. In May 2018, the Food and Drug Administration filed suit against the Cell Surgical Network and affiliate clinics for administering a stem cell product derived using the smallpox vaccine to cancer patients. Regulators say the treatment posed a risk of heart inflammation.
How Stem Cell Treatments Work
Stem cells are derived from cells found in the blood, fat or birth tissues, and doctors are excited about the possibilities of these treatments. But health regulators, both on the state and federal level, have become increasingly concerned that the medical claims made by companies and clinics providing stem cell treatments are not in line with available medical evidence. Many of these clinics, Park Avenue Stem Cell included, offer people treatments that can cost thousands of dollars. In most cases, patients pay for the therapies out of pocket, because health insurers refuse to cover the services.
In recent years, hundreds of stem cell clinics have popped up across the country. Offering treatments containing stem cells, which have the potential to grow into other cell types, the clinics promise effective therapies for a wide range of severe medical disorders, but scientists say there is no proof that they are effective or safe.
Park Avenue Stem Cell focused on treatments using cells taken from a patient's own adipose, or fat, tissue. Clinics offering similar treatments often argue that, since the stem cells are derived from a patient's own tissues, they should not be considered a drug and regulated as such by the FDA. According to the New York lawsuit, "defendants claims that they can treat a variety of serious medical conditions, including but not limited to, urologic diseases and erectile dysfunction, neurology diseases, cardiac / pulmonary disease, autoimmune diseases, and orthopedic conditions, even though there is currently no adequate scientific substantiation that these treatments will be effective; in fact, they could be harmful."
"Misleading vulnerable consumers who are desperate to find a treatment for serious and painful medical conditions is unacceptable, unlawful and immoral," James said in a press statement. "We will continue to investigate these types of clinics that shamelessly add to the suffering of these consumers by charging them thousands of dollars for treatments that they know are ineffective."

HARTLAND — On a night when heavy rain and a stiff breeze made throwing the ball problematic, to say the least, the Pinckney football team used a strong rushing attack and field position to its advantage.
The result was a 19-0 win over Hartland at the Eagles' homecoming, a loss that ended Hartland's hopes for a third consecutive playoff appearance and ended their hopes of being KLAA West champions for the fourth time in five seasons.
Click here for the archived broadcast!
Luke Rendell rushed for 140 yards and two scores and Alex Wasyl ran for 58 yards on his only carry of the game to put the game out of reach with 1:13 remaining.
The Pirates had 260 yards in total offense, all but four of it on the ground. Quarterback Jack Wurzer threw only four passes, for 4 yards, but proved an able foil to Luke Rendell in Pinckney's rushing attack, rushing for 54 yards and forcing the Hartland defense to keep an eye on him as well as Rendell.
The results, Pinckney coach Jakob Gailitis said, were due to a challenge he threw down to the Pirates' offensive line earlier in the week.
"We said we had to have positive yards on first down, and we had to win the first-downs battle," he said. "Our offensive line, I put it on them. I said I put this on you. Nobody else. As the O-line coach, it's on me, too. We're all in it together."
But the Pirates defense and special teams also shone.
Hartland got the ball across the 50 only once until the final minute of play, and the Pirates pinned them deep in their own territory for most of the first half.
An Eagles rushing attack that ran for more than 300 yards the week before in a win against Milford was held to just 80 yards by, according to the Eagles, the Pirates defense and their own mistakes.
"I don't think it was their defense," Hartland quarterback Brad Ekonen said. "I think it was us personally. We had a lot of mistakes, ourselves. The weather conditions were no excuse, but it's tough playing in this weather. We should be able to do i. We have to quit with the mental breakdowns on our side."
Rain, at times heavy, and a strong wind from the north made passing, and shotgun snaps from center, an adventure.
The Pirates got the ball in Hartland territory twice in the first quarter, but didn't capitalize until Rendell scored slightly after the midway point of the second quarter on a 2-yard run.
The score stayed at 7-0 until Rendell scored from 2 yards out midway through the fourth quarter and Alex Wasyl scored on a jet sweep down the sideline in front of the Hartland bench with 1L:13 remaining. Both extra-point attempts failed. The first was aborted due to a fumble on the snap and the second was blocked.
But, by then, the game was decided. The Eagles moved the ball nine plays for 49 yards on their last drive against Pinckney substitutes, but suffered three drops before the clock ran out.
"Our defense played light's out," Gailitis said. "I've been bragging about our defensive line. They're so big and so tough. Buto ur linebackers and theother kids also play so hard. We dot have many of them, so our kids have to play a lot of snaps, and that's something you don't see much any more. It's refreshing to see kids just play hard every play. No one cares about getting credit, and that's huge."
Pinckney, 4-2 overall, 2-1 in the KLAA, travels to Grand Blanc next week to play in the Bobcats' homecoming.
"We say that every win makes the next game bigger, and that's more fun," Gailitis said. "We want to play in big games. That's why you play high school football, and we're excited to go to Grand blanc on their homecoming game and lay it on the line. We'll ave a ball up there. They always have a great crowd and it's a blast. I can't wait."
For Hartland (1-5), next up is a trip to Brighton for the Bulldogs' homecoming.
"I told the kids we're playing for pride," Savage said. "We're playing or Hartland, Keep working hard and finish strong."

MANILA – The Philippines' resignation as member of the International Criminal Court (ICC) will cause serious harm to its reputation and standing in the world stage.
So say various legal experts, who pointed out that the exit gives the impression that the country is unable to meet its legal obligations to the community of nations.
The Philippines announced its intention to leave the ICC last year. Last week, that exit became final.
The Duterte administration took the big step of leaving the court which had begun to probe the killings of thousands of Filipinos as a result of the government's anti-drug war. However, the court will continue its probe on the killings which took place when the Philippines was still an ICC member, according to prosecutor FatouBensouda.
The ICC's "independent and impartial preliminary examination into the situation in the Philippines continues," Bensouda said in a statement to media on Tuesday, March 19.
Among others, the spectre of the country losing millions of dollars in foreign aid because of its withdrawal from ICC was raised by Rep. Gary Alejano.
Furthermore, the possibility of an increase in human rights abuses in the Philippines could result in the exit, according to Gilbert Andres, counsel for the Philippine Coalition for International Criminal Court.
"One cannot invoke now the parallel means provided for in the ICC for an effective remedy against international crimes, " he said.
Another congressman, Ariel Casilao, said the Duterte regime left the ICC because "it is guilty of murdering its own constituents, particularly the marginalized sectors."
Senator RizaHontiveros said, "the country's exit from the ICC is an act to defend not Philippine sovereignty but the climate of killing and impunity in the country." She added that it was a step back from the country's commitment to global treaty obligations on human rights and democracy.
For its part, Malacanang said that the country's withdrawal from the court was not a big issue.
"The sky has not fallen and the sun still rises in the east," presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said the day after the withdrawal took effect on Sunday, March 17.
Oddly enough, despite the highly publicized announcement of the Philippines' exit from the international court, Panelo said that the country was never really a member of the ICC in the first place.
This is because the treaty that the government signed in 2011 was never published in the Official Gazette or in a newspaper of general circulation.
A UN-sanctioned body, the Philippines is only the second country to withdraw from the ICC, with the other being the African state of Burundi.

"Fashion changes with the seasons. Gaucho pants will be shunned one year and in every color the next. The same goes for overalls, Norwegian sweaters, and thigh boots. Identifying fashion faux pas can be a tricky business in such conditions. But some looks and trends will always fail to flatter. Read on for the Parisian's most-scorned style blunders."
*Bras and transparent plastic straps: No one ever gets used to them. A stylish, visible bra is far sexier, and if you really want to wear a strapless dress or top, how about a strapless bra, too?
*Thongs with ultra-low hipster jeans: One of the fashion's great mysteries.
*Visible thigh highs: Unless you're on stage at the Crazy Horse!
*No matter how big or small your bust, not wearing a bra is always a mistake.
*Never wear a necklace and earrings at the same time— too much! The same goes for rings on every finger. As for accumulating bracelet(s) + ring(s) + watch + earrings + necklace. Non, non, non, non, non! Even at Christmas...
*It should come as no surprise that scarf rings are prohibited.
*Body piercings: "No future" is the wrong kind of fashion statement...
*Too-sexy bikins in lurex and sequins: Think Ursula Andress or Halle Berry in their Bond Girl briefs. Much more attractive.
*A swimsuit with too much lacing or complicated cuts: You'll see why when you take it off after a day in the sun.
*Bikini briefs too small to cover your bottom: The Parisian keeps a bikini line á la Brazilienne, but not the bikini to match.
*White fringed boots: There are more sophisticated ways to achieve the Wild West look.
*Hair scrunchies: Too girly.
*Fanny packs or bum bags: Even if some designers are trying to promote their comeback, these are too practical to be attractive. Just say non, whatever the season. And especially if you're a tourist!
*Plastic flip-flops: And pool sandals. Guaranteed to shatter the chic-est of looks.
*Sandals with white socks: Unless you're an actress in a New York art-house film. In Paris, the combination is practically illegal.
*Matching tights, shoes, and bag: No, you can't.
*Backpacks, once you've left college.
*Back-to-front baseball caps: Ask yourself if a baseball cap — even the right way around — is really a good idea? Choose a sailor's cap or a straw hat instead.
*Too-tight shirts that gape at the buttons across your (ample) chest. Choose an ample shirt instead, and never button it up all the way up.
*Leggings: Seldom a good look on anyone.
*Leather suits: Even if leather is in this season. Even if Angelina dares to wear one. Even if you see them all over the magazines. By all means go for the leather jacket or pants, but never the two together. Too showbiz.
*Fishnet T-shirts: Difficult to see how these could possibly flatter anyone, apart from Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan.
*Cropped T-shirts: Displaying your navel away from the beach is never chic. It's a matter of proportions.
*Leopard-skin dress with plunging necklines: Too sexy is not sexy.
*Nightgowns printed with favorite children's characters: I have never met a man who was seduced by a Hello Kitty nightie!
*Transparent pants: What's the point of wearing pants if they reveal all?
*Supposedly witty "message" T-shirts: "My boyfriend's out of town.", "Gold Digger".... Do I really have to explain why?
*Too many mixed materials: Satin + velvet + chiffon + tweed = textile overdose. "
I think most of the advice in this chapter is spot on, but will say that I do not agree with all of it. Specifically the part about never wearing a necklace and earrings at the same time. Perhaps if they are both over-sized, but if one or both items are dainty or just a *normal* every day size, I think it is perfectly fine, and can look quite lovely.
Have a lovely day! :)

NEW ORLEANS, La. -- Clemson junior running back Travis Etienne broke the school's career rushing record in the first quarter against LSU in the national championship game, crossing 3,960 yards to set the mark.
Etienne went into the game needing 7 yards to break the record of 3,966 set by Raymond Priester from 1994-97.
Etienne, the ACC Player of the Year, took the record in only three seasons with the Tigers. Later in the game, Etienne surpassed 4,000 career yards to become the ninth player to accomplish the feat in ACC history.
There is another record Etienne could set. If he rushes for 100 yards, he would have the school record for career 100-yard games with 18. He is currently tied with Wayne Gallman (2014-16).
Etienne had five carries for 18 yards in the first quarter.

The Vale of Rheidol Railway
Burry Port and Gwendraeth Valley Railway and Its Antecedent: Volume one
Regular price £12.95
Tax included.
The author's father was posted to Burry Port in 1933 to work over the Old Company, the erstwhile Burry Port & Gwendreath Valley Railway. He was passionately interested in any form of history. His four year sojourn at Burry Port was particularly interesting for him, as there he was operating over a route which had been a canal and had evolved into a railway with its many eccentricities. Conditions were often so difficult with flooding that his father on occasions was not sure whether he was an engine driver or a bargee! The author would accompany him on footplate trips over the Gwendraeth. Features of the old canal works and other interesting industrial items would be pointed out to him. Many years later the seeds planted in his young mind have brought this important work on the company's history to fruition. This first volume deals with the earliest years, the canal history. Four substantial canals fulfilled the needs of the expanding anthracite mining industry which was to become world renowned. The Kidwelly & Llanelly Canal & Tramroad Co. became the main waterway. From Burry Port it was carried over two substantial aqueducts and was lifted by three massive inclines to Cwmmawr. By 1866 this waterway was transformed into the Burry Port & Gwendreath Valley Railway Co. Although experiencing great operating difficulties because of the limited canal bridge clearances and constant flooding, the company became an efficient and immensely profitable passenger-carrying system. The book is to A5 format, 184 pages with 56 photos/plans and full colour glossy laminated card cover.

Danny Meyer does fast-casual pizza
Martina, a new concept from Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality Group, is carving out a niche in the crowded fast-casual pizza segment—call it "slow casual." Here's how.
A quicker clip
Each of its made-to-order pies takes seven to 10 minutes to cook. The speedier sibling of full-service Marta, Martina is drawing comparisons to Shake Shack, but reps say there are no current plans to expand. "I'm not trying to create the Shake Shack of pizza," says Nick Anderer, Martina's executive chef. "I'm trying to create the Martina of pizza."
'Coursed' fast casual
About 60% of Martina's guests order a starter (suppli, crochette, salads and more), or they order beer, wine or other beverages, Anderer says. It sources many of the same ingredients as full-service Marta, but cooks its pizzas over gas, for more efficient temperature control than the wood used at Marta.
Boxing up quality
Guests can order Martina's 10-inch pies to go, but about 70% dine in. "We always encourage people to try the pizza first in the restaurant," Anderer says. For takeout orders, Martina sources boxes that have a reflective nonstick coating and 20 small vents that allow steam to escape.

October 14, 2016: Datacenter Network Firewall Migration
Maintenance Window: 4:00 AM to 8:00 AM Friday, October 14th
Services Impacted: All Campus Network Services
During this maintenance window, campus datacenter firewalls will be migrated to new high-capacity, next-generation security systems. This migration will require multiple brief (few minutes) interruptions to all campus network services as systems are transitioned and tested. Interruptions are expected to occur early in this maintenance window, followed by extensive low-impact testing. Longer interruptions in service may be required if unexpected circumstances arise and additional troubleshooting is necessary.
As a precautionary measure during this work, some campus applications will be shut down until the migration is complete, and as such, will experience more prolonged service interruptions. Most notably, the BlackBoard Learn system will be shut down at 4:00AM, and remain offline until migration activities are complete and uninterrupted service can be assured.
Potential update for Collaborate B2
If time allows, DLT may use this maintenance window to install an updated Blackboard Collaborate B2.

In the analysis of the contemporary relations between Poland and Russia, the historical context has to be taken into account. This requires not only references to the 100th anniversary of the so-called Bolshevik revolution but also reflection on the history of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (16th-18th centuries). For no other reason than that, Putin's Russia commemorates the event of an "expulsion of the Poles from the Kremlin" in 1612 as a national holiday, i.e. recognizes it as a a significant fragment of the history of the so-called Russian Smuta (The Time of Troubles), a period that started in the beginning of the 17th century when Polish nobility supported military False Dmitri, a claimant to the Russian tzar's throne.
At the same time it should be remembered that at that time the territories of today's Ukraine, along with Belarus, Latvia and Lithuania, have belonged for several centuries to the state called "Rzeczpospolita" which was a federation of the Kingdom of Poland and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. However at the end of the 18th century Poland was divided between neighbouring powers (Russia, Prussia and Austria). The period 1917-1918 not only was marked with the two revolutions in Russia (1917) but also with the rebirth of Polish state, initiated by the conflict with Ukraine (1918) and the war against Soviet Russia (1919-1921).
The issue of the eastern borders of Poland was decided during the war between Poland and Soviet Russia in the 1920s.Trying to apply his federal program, the head of state Polish,Marshal Józef Piłsudski has entered into an alliance with the head of the so-called Ukrainian People's Republic, Semen Petlura. In April-May 1920 the offensive against the Soviets began, its first phase was completed with the conquest of Kiev. In the following months (July-August 1920), the Soviet offensive brought the Red Army near Warsaw, the Polish capital.The Polish-Soviet war of 1920 ended with an armistice in October of the same year, and finally with the Peace Treaty between Poland and Soviet Russia signed in Riga March 18th, 1921. Victorious Marshal Józef Piłsudski has consolidated the eastern border of Poland buthad to give up the federal program (i.e. the creation of buffer states: Belarusian and Ukrainian related to Poland and new (but never realized) the Polish-Lithuanian union.
The international system has been shaking already 30 years before the Treaty of Monaco of Bavaria (1938) and the German-Sovietalliance (1939).The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (August 23rd, 1939) was formally a simple agreement of non-aggressionbut it was accompanied with the secret protocol delineating the areas of mutual interests in case of "political-territorial changes" in Central and East Europe. Eventually it was a project of the new, fourth partition of Poland. In September 1939 a double invasion on Poland began with the Nazi Germany's attack on the September 1st, and Soviet Union's on September 17th. These events are referred to as "the fourth Polish Partition" (1939-1941) conducted by Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.In the years 1939-1941 the Stalinist repressions of the security apparatus have been launched against Polish population of the eastern territories of Poland. And in this light one should perceive the mass murder in Katyń (April 1940), executed by NKVD on the tens of thousands of Polish officers, prisoners of 1939 war.
The new frontiers of Central and Eastern Europe have been outlined by leaders of the great powers of the anti-German alliance during the conferences in Tehran (1943), Yalta and Potsdam (1945). Despite the fact that Poland formally belonged to the winners of the WWII, its eastern borders were also changed in accordance with the so-called Curzon line, or along the river Bug. Polish eastern territories with the cities of Wilno (Vilnius; Lithuania) and Lwów (Lviv; Ukraine in the Soviet Union and current independent Ukraine) remained outside new borders.Due to the transformations in Central and East Europe that began in Poland in 1989, and the 1991 dissolution of the USSR, Russian Federation emerged. The Federation confines (on the north-east) with Poland: it is the so-called enclave of Kaliningrad(ex Konigsberg). In the meantime, due to large enlargement of 2004 the eastern border of Poland has become an important element of the new eastern borders of the European Union.
Since the fall of the USSR to the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century Polish-Russian relations were very harsh. From 2010 until 2013 the government of Donald Tusk attempted to adopt the policy of "thaw" in relations with Russia (being, however, strongly opposed by President Lech Kaczyński and the president's brother, the leader of then parliamentary opposition, and since 2015 the ruling party in Poland, Jaroslaw Kaczyński). It should be recalled that in the course of the Russian-Georgian war President Lech Kaczyński (tragically died in the Smolensk air disaster on Russian territory in April 2010), during a meeting in Tbilisi, delivered in 2008 a "geopolitical prophecy" regarding the aggressive policy of Putin's Russia. The President argued that Georgia was the first of the victims but later the Russian tanks could appear, in an order of succession, in Ukraine, the Baltic States and finally in Poland. The issue of Smolensk catastrophe remains one of the most important problems of Polish-Russian relations.
Regardless an aversion or willingness towards the "thaw" of the Polish political standpoints on Russia, there were, and continue to be, the objective reasons of geopolitical conflict in the Polish-Russian relations, particularly concerning the totality of the relations between Poland, Ukraine and Russia. Furthermore there is an issue of energy security, and eventually the role of Poland and its active participation in the EU and NATO policies, as well as recent Polish support towards Ukrainian cause.Main current affairs concerning Polish-Russian-Ukrainian relations are not only related to the contemporary issues but also to the past, and can be listed as following: 1) The memory of Ukrainian nationalists' crimes against Poles, and a significant importance of the historical memory of the genocide of Polish population in Wołyń (Volhynia, 1943) conducted by the Ukrainians; 2) The memory of the period of the "real socialism" and the dominance of the USSR (1945-1989/91); 3) The change of the relations between Poland, Russia and Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union (1991-2014); 4) The role of Poland and its support for Ukraine in the European integration process against Vladimir Putin's policy of reconstruction of the "Russian Empire" hence Polish stand against the annexation of the Crimea and Russia's interference in the conflict in the South-East of Ukraine (2015-2017).
One should consider an ultimate goal of Putin's policy as a radical change of the current spatial design of Central and East Europe with the intention of rebuilding Moscow's direct or indirect power over these territories. Putin seriously and repeatedly said that the dissolution of the USSR (which to him means also the rule of Russia) was the "greatest geopolitical catastrophe" of the 20th century. Putin's wars, from Georgia to Ukraine but also military intervention in Syria (the latter differs from the former ones, and is conducted formally in the name of the "war on Islamic terrorism"), have a territorial and, above all, geopolitical character. In this context, NATO and the European Union should play a leading role, call upon development and implementation of a real Ostpolitik (in a conjunction with the new reality of a Visegrad Group). Only in this way - considering the new geopolitical balances - it is possible to preserve the stability of the international security system.

The Ground Round restaurant is located in the Best Western Premiere Waterfront Hotel and offers a great spot to enjoy the warmer months coming up in Oshkosh. The location had great potential for many years and once renovations were completed about two years ago the spot is finally being put to great use.
I decided to sit at the bar inside when I went, it was not quite warm enough to enjoy the outside area yet. The bartender started making the drink with Gordon's Vodka and I was very excited to see her reach next for a bloody mary mix that was not a pre-made brand. Talking with the bartender she told me the following ingredients are in their own mix: tomato juice, pickle juice, celery salt, A.1. steak sauce, wing sauce, worcestershire sauce and monterey jack steak seasoning.
This combination was very delicious and had a smooth, refreshing taste but was lacking one thing. It did not contain anything to add a little kick. The mix should have horseradish or tabasco sauce to add that bit of spice a bloody mary drink is known to have. I would recommend asking for some tabasco if you go there and prefer some spice to your bloody mary drink.
The bloody mary was served in a large snifter glass and had great presentation. It had celery salt on the rim and included portion of beef stick, cheese, olive, and pickle for garnishes. It also included a lemon and lime on the side the glass which is something I haven't see yet and is one of my favorite things to add to the drink. The chaser options are fairly good as well because there are more options available on tap than just typical domestic beers.
Overall I really enjoyed this drink and the service was great. The only things missing were that kick for the drink and nice weather.

It is fairly easy to cook a delicious apple cobbler. First, you will need to have at least two cups
of apples on hand, and they should be peeled and sliced into thin crescent shapes. Almost any
type of apple will do–either red delicious or granny style or whatever your local grocery store
offers. Next, you will need about one half cup of sugar for extra added sweetness. Either white
granulated sugar or brown refined will work equally well. (I have used both kinds with the same
success.) Finally, about two sticks of butter or two pounds of margarine will be necessary to
give the cobbler that lip-smacking smoothness that my family just loves.
The actual making of the cobbler is also fairly simple. You'll need a very large mixing bowl,
into which you will pour all the carefully cut apple slices as well as the sugar and the butter.
Now you'll need a rather large fork or spatula to mix and "mush up" all the ingredients together
until they are all fairly well blended.
While you have been doing all this, the oven has been pre-heating to a toasty 425 degrees
Fahrenheit. When you think the mixture is well blended, then place the bowl carefully near the
back of the center oven rack and leave it there for about thirty minutes. After about half that
time, you will begin to smell the enchanting aroma of baked apples filling your home, thus
telling everyone that the wonderful time of fall is definitely here.

Good day pedrosek83,
currently Locus do not support opencaching sites. Suggest to vote for already existing idea here: http://help.locusmap.eu/topic/geocaching_opencaching_de . I can imagine opencaching support in similar way as is for geocaching with geocaching4Locus add-on.

Location: La Vapeur, Dijon, France
Date: 30th September, 2012
When one of the brothers of Volker Leson (bass player of WIZARD) understood that he will play at Dijon, he asked: 'Are there any metalheads there to play in front?'. I do not know if this happened before but in the wonderful evening of 30th September all of us were screaming before the phone of Mr. Leson to be heard by his brother. Although that I live a little bit aside from Dijon – at around 2000 km…
The scene of Rising Fest grows on the efforts of a serious group of enthusiasts. These fans are united in Association Phoenix Rising. They became a factor for the increase of a regional metal culture which shines with originality and devotion. The organization of this year's Rising Fest indeed can praise with providing comfortable conditions for bands, journalists and public. This was a precondition for the strong experience that I'll try to reproduce.
Yet with the coming out at the stage of the young men from DEPTHS OF MADNESS a powerful lights show with a curtain of smoke exploded. This immediately made the air hot emphasizing the enthusiasm of the French men. Yet in 05:30 pm a hard mass of fans of the band was headbanging in front of the stage. The style of the quintet is not easy to be determined because includes a classic heavy metal approach and modern influences. The riffs are straightforward and with no unnecessary complexity. The vocals are mainly high and take their inspiration from the power of the young voice at places with more ambition. The band demonstrates wide inventions including rock elements in its music. I remain with the feeling that the seeking of boys goes in direction: progressive/math metal/rock. Their college image is in synchrony with this assessment. But they need more refined guitar technique and development of the rhythms. This was an interesting opening set. Around 6 pm the fans with the shirts of DEPTHS OF MADNESS in front of the stage disappeared in the big crowd.
Around 06:15 pm the Bulgarian guests from RAMPART already were radiating the public with classic energetic heavy metal. As if their only guitar player was obtaining sound with the movement and the energy of his whole body. It seems that the non-standard articulated voice for a lady of the vocalist Maria was deriving with marches on the stage and with emotional grimaces. Both of them did not leave any free space on the stage. Inherited something from HELLOWEEN the quartet was striking in order fast and middle tempo songs, all garnished with not bad solos. Perhaps because of his colleagues the bass player stood still in the corner. Even during the manifested bass parties he was standing half-back to the public not letting us see demonstrations on his 7 strings instrument.
When RAMPART performed the only one in their setlist track from their first album 'Warriors' it became clear that there are fans who know the song and who are singing it with the band (Inferno Records that released their two albums is a French label). Indeed it was obsessing with its more straightforward rhythm and fast dynamics. The heavy metal maniacs definitely were infected with this virus when the band went down the stage in 7 pm.
The heavy metal baton is taken by HEAVYLUTION. Their frequent gigs in the region supported by debut demo and EP gained the band the respect of the fans. Immediately became clear that the vocalist Paul is an admirer of Rob Halford. The double guitar attack of the French men is noisier and aggressive (the guitar players wear T-Shirts of DEATH ANGEL and MEGADETH). The choruses of the bigger part of their set are with aggressive, low and clipped syllabified singing. This manner of the boys reflected on the cover song of IRON MAIDEN which they performed.
The energy spread to the every corner of the hall. When it returned to the stage it became a demonstration maximum expressed high tones singed with lots of harsh. This is a situation in which the tonality always is lost somewhere at the windings. It's most likely – we also were screaming "Metal in Our Blood". Timed was passing and around 8 pm we sent the five boys with applauses.
Besides its presence on the stage, the French band SANCTUAIRE set a table with a skull, a glass and an ink-pot with a quill – subject-matter from the cover artwork of their album 'L'Empreinte de Lucifer' (2011). The scene became scarlet... The music was a unique combination of classic heavy metal and the musicianship of the early BATHORY. There is something occult in the whole look of Florean B-Manquat (bass, vocals). From the calm spoken introductions to all songs there is a smell of darkness and mysticism. The presentation and the lyrics are entirely in French with affinity to poeticism. In the middle of its set the quartet slowed down the tempo emphasizing on the minor melodies. A distance appeared between the fans of the band and the heavy/speed maniacs in the public. Amongst the second mentioned there were sarcastic smiles – the remark is toward this attitude to the band.
The presentation of the misanthropes SANCTUAIRE at the festival was short, but remarkable! The different face of the metal or if you prefer 'the fresh breathe air' for those who did not appraise them.
Gained speed from their strong debut album ELVENSTORM conquered the stage shortly after 9 pm. After a short intro the audience literally was blown by two speed songs with no pause between them. The guitar riff is like the most aggressive things of RUNNING WILD. As if the drum cannonade was shaking the band. The vocals of Laura are climbing to the high female tones full of nervous energy. The first shown electricity turns to more hymn songs. Here the efforts thrown in the beginning played a bad joke to the front lady and she looses the power of her high tones. This is something which was fixed until the end of the set.
The uncompromising speed playing and the serious metal vision of ELVENSTORM pressed the public to the edge of the stage. The pure energy that the fans were searching for was given to them. That's why while the band was getting down the stage the audience was screaming its name.
Shortly after 10 pm the German band WIZARD let the magic out. The quality of the festival jumped on the next level. The common measured rhythm is pulsing in the hearts. Teutonic melody caresses the ears under the remembering riff. Yet with the first stanza of the chorus unblock the throat. The music of the band enters under the skin with no effort. This is heavy metal that needs no words and classifications.
The musicians demonstrated the freedom to become one with the instrument. The most impressive thing is the voice of Sven D'Anna. This person presents with ease the high tones, the low ones, and even at the middle where lots of vocalists of big bands have collapses, he effortlessly moves the tones. Till the end of the concert there was no tone which needed the attention of the sound engineer or a standard approach for glossing over that we often hear at the festivals. WIZARD was the only band that did not loose the attention of the public during the slow songs. These music messages were not to be missed. With the live presentation this band made me its fan. I do not like too melodic heavy metal with melting motives as if from 80'es pop tracks but the melodies of WIZARD touched me. I do not like battle appeals made of effective word in the veins of MANOWAR but I liked the choruses of WIZARD. I always strain from the clownish humor of big names from the German scene but this set was honestly entertaining.
Without unnecessary poses and pretentious demonstrations the quintet forced us to call it for more for the final conclusion of the concert. Although they played the previous night there was not metalheads unsatisfied with the show. So in 11:30 pm the noisy part of the feast ended.
The wonderfully built hall, the excellent organization and the heavy armored scene deserved the attention of more people! Having in mind the spectacle I believe that the enthusiasm of the girls and guys from the Association Phoenix Rising is yet to begin repaying. The growing scene and the splendid festival are the things for which they breathe!

Scoliosis is not a disease – it is a descriptive term. All spines
have curves. Some curvature in the neck, upper trunk and lower trunk is
normal. Humans need these spinal curves to help the upper body maintain
proper balance and alignment over the pelvis. However, when there are
abnormal side-to-side (lateral) curves in the spinal column, we refer
to this as scoliosis.

Many questions present themselves when considering the historical relationship between anthropology and empire following the Scramble for Africa. These include the extent of imperial fortunes in Africa, rising and falling with officials' knowledge of the people under their jurisdiction. This book looks at the institutional frameworks of anthropology, and shows that the colonial project to order Africa, intellectually and politically, was a messy and not-so comprehensive endeavor. It first considers the roles of metropolitan researchers and institutes such as the colonial ethnographers active in French West Africa, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft in Berlin, and the British-based International Institute of African Languages and Cultures. The book deals with the role of African ethnograpghers for their study on African teaching assistants and schoolmasters-cum-ethnographers, and the study of Jomo Kenyatta's journey to produce
The book investigates the concepts and related practices of development in British, French and Portuguese colonial Africa during the last decades of colonial rule. During this period, development became the central concept underpinning the relationship between metropolitan Europe and colonial Africa. Combining historiographical accounts with analyses from other academic perspectives, the book investigates a range of contexts, from agriculture to mass media. With its focus on the conceptual side of development and its broad geographical scope, the book offers new and uncommon perspectives. An extensive introduction contextualizes the individual chapters and makes the book an up-to-date point of entry into the subject of (colonial) development, not only for a specialist readership, but also for students of history, development and post-colonial studies. Written by scholars from Africa, Europe and North America, the book is a uniquely international dialogue on this vital chapter of twentieth-century transnational history and on a central concept of the contemporary world.
Southern Africa played a varied but vital role in Britain's maritime and imperial stories. The region was one of the most intricate pieces in the British imperial strategic jigsaw, and representations of southern African landscape and maritime spaces reflect its multifaceted position. This book examines the ways in which British travellers, explorers and artists viewed southern Africa in a period of evolving and expanding British interest in the region. Cape Town occupied in the visual and cultural understanding of British people in the 1760s. It is a representation of southern Africa. The book presents a study that examines and contextualises such representations of southern African landscapes, seascapes and settlements by British officials, travellers and artists. It interrogates how and why these descriptions and depictions came about, as well as the role they played in the British imagining and understanding of southern African spaces. The focus is on a period of evolving and expanding British interest and intervention in southern Africa, its impact on peoples and their environs, and the expression in contemporary landscape and seascape representation. British formal control at the Cape of Good Hope brought European aesthetic frameworks to bear on the viewing of landscapes. Exploration and imperialism were defining features of the British experience in southern Africa. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, contemporary travelogues and visual images, the book posits landscape as a useful prism through which to view changing British attitudes towards Africa.
This book considers the ways that representations of Africa have contributed to the changing nature of British national identity. It does so by developing the concept of the African presence: the ways that references to Africa have become part of discussions within British political culture about the place of Britain in the world. Using interviews, photo archives, media coverage, advertisements, and web material, the book focuses on major Africa campaigns: the abolition of slavery, anti-apartheid, drop the debt, and Make Poverty History. Using a hybrid theoretical framework based mainly around framing, the book argues that the representation of Africa has been mainly about imagining virtuous Britishness rather than generating detailed understandings of Africa. The book develops this argument through a historical review of 200 years of Africa campaigning. It also looks more closely at recent and contemporary campaigning, opening up new issues and possibilities for campaigning: the increasing use of consumer identities, electronic media, and aspects of globalization. This book will be of interest to anyone interested in postcolonial politics, relations between Britain and Africa, and development studies.
This book is about images of Africa; who creates them, how they are manipulated, and what the effects are for African actors and their relationships in the wider world. While the role of image in international politics is taken seriously by practitioners and academics, no one has yet produced a systematic account of the particularly important role it plays in the relationships between Africa and the wider world. This book seeks to do this by focusing on the politics of image and Africa, broadly defined to encompass the way political elites, media organisations and individual writers and artists together construct and project images of the continent. The book explores the dynamic processes of image creation in an imaginative way. First, it brings together different disciplinary approaches. Second, it draws on experiences of a wide range of actors and forms of image, including central governments, traditional authorities, journalists, individual artists and authors. Finally, the book brings together ten researchers currently engaged in fieldwork-based research across Africa who together present an empirically rich, fresh take on an important topic.
Works of travel have been the subject of increasingly sophisticated studies in recent years. This book undermines the conviction with which nineteenth-century British writers talked about darkest Africa. It places the works of travel within the rapidly developing dynamic of Victorian imperialism. Images of Abyssinia and the means of communicating those images changed in response to social developments in Britain. As bourgeois values became increasingly important in the nineteenth century and technology advanced, the distance between the consumer and the product were justified by the scorn of African ways of eating. The book argues that the ambiguities and ambivalence of the travellers are revealed in their relation to a range of objects and commodities mentioned in narratives. For instance, beads occupy the dual role of currency and commodity. The book deals with Henry Morton Stanley's expedition to relieve Emin Pasha, and attempts to prove that racial representations are in large part determined by the cultural conditions of the traveller's society. By looking at Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, it argues that the text is best read as what it purports to be: a kind of travel narrative. Only when it is seen as such and is regarded in the context of the fin de siecle can one begin to appreciate both the extent and the limitations of Conrad's innovativeness.
Christiane Taubira's spirited invocation of colonial poetry at the French National Assembly in 2013 denounced the French politics of assimilation in Guyana . It was seen as an attempt to promote respect for difference, defend the equality of gay and heterosexual rights, and give a voice to silent social and cultural minorities. Taubira's unmatched passion for poetry and social justice, applied to the current Political arena, made her an instant star in the media and on the Internet. This book relates to the mimetic and transformative powers of literature and film. It examines literary works and films that help deflate stereotypes regarding France's post-immigration population, promote a new respect for cultural and ethnic minorities. The writers and filmmakers examined in the book have found new ways to conceptualize the French heritage of immigration from North Africa and to portray the current state of multiculturalism in France. The book opens with Steve Puig's helpful recapitulation of the development of beur, banlieue, and urban literatures, closely related and partly overlapping taxonomies describing the cultural production of second-generation, postcolonial immigrants to France. Discussing the works of three writers, the book discusses the birth of a new Maghrebi-French women's literature. Next comes an examination of how the fictional portrayal of women in Guene's novels differs from the representation of female characters in traditional beur literature. The book also explores the development of Abdellatif Kechiche's cinema, Djaidani's film and fiction, French perception of Maghrebi-French youth, postmemorial immigration, fiction, and postmemory and identity in harki.
This book provides a combination of critical argument about those central debates within African literary studies, alongside a focus on individual texts and writers that are central to the study of African literatures. It investigates how certain versions of the past get to be remembered, which memories are privileged and what the loci are for memory within the context of African literatures. The book establishes the main debates about African writing in relation to modernism and traditionalism, history and the present, trauma and the ethics of historical representation, and theories of memory as a challenge to the discourses of historiography and ethnography. In these respects, the book first focuses upon memory as a discourse in African writing, emerging as a product of discourse in the ways it operates in private and public life. It then explores how memory is socially and historically constituted within differing African contexts. The book also interrogates the invocation of memory within a number of other discourses (political, historical, ethical, autobiographical, gender, ethnic), enquiring how memory is called upon to legitimate identity, construct or reconstruct it. It further explores how memory is narratively organized, and the ways in which narrative is related to other cultural forms of remembering.
This book explains how the relationship between the European Union (EU) and Africa has evolved in the first decade of the twenty-first century. For this, it treats the EU as a 'bilateral donor', focusing in particular on the new partnership agreement between the EU and the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) group of countries. It also treats the EU as a 'collective actor', paying special attention to the Joint Africa–EU Strategy (JAES) and a number of EU policies that affect African development beyond aid. The book first sketches the evolution of EU–Africa relations, between the adoption of the Cotonou Agreement in June 2000 and the third Africa–EU Summit held in Tripoli in November 2010. The evolution of EU-Africa relations should be set against two tracks. The first track concerns the programme managed by the European Commission. In this case, the most important change is certainly the adoption of the Cotonou Agreement, which marked a fundamental departure from the principles of the long-standing Lomé Convention. The second track concerns the attempt to create a continent-wide policy towards Africa, under the slogan 'one Europe, one Africa', which started with the first Africa–EU Summit held in Cairo in April 2000. The book also presents some contending explanations, drawing on studies of EU external relations as well as offering a perspective of Africa. It examines a number of policy areas, ranging from more established areas of cooperation to new areas of concern, such as migration, energy, climate change and social policies.
Africa was a key focus of Britain's foreign policy under Tony Blair. Military intervention in Sierra Leone, increases in aid and debt relief, and grand initiatives such as the Commission for Africa established the continent as a place in which Britain could 'do good'. This book critically explores Britain's fascination with Africa. It argues that, under New Labour, Africa represented an area of policy which appeared to transcend politics. Gradually, it came to embody an ideal state activity around which politicians, officials and the wider public could coalesce, leaving behind more contentious domestic and international issues. Building on the story of Britain and Africa under Blair, the book draws wider conclusions about the role of 'good' and idealism in foreign policy. In particular, it discusses how international relations provide opportunities to create and pursue ideals, and why they are essential for the wellbeing of political communities. The book argues that state actors project the idea of 'good' onto idealised, distant objects, in order to restore a sense of the 'good state'.

This was the end of our Trans-Siberian journey. All went well.
Review by CAROL MALONE
17 Jan 2014The only option, and a pretty good one
The most important advice - take some food. The shop and bar are both really expensive (USD7 for a pot noodle!), and meal times in the buffet restaurant are a smash and grab affair with a strict time limit. Otherwise, the shared room was clean and comfy, the showers and toilets were fine and the staff were cool too. Access to safe hot and cold drinking water was a great convenience. Oh, and perfectly tolerable for me, I sleep through anything, but the engine noise was pretty loud in our cabin - take earplugs if you're a light sleeper.

13 Aug 2013Best way to leave Vladivostok (or arrive)
I travelled 2nd class. So 8 bunk beds per cabin, but very comfortable: large and long, reading light, good curtains for privacy, much space in the common area of the cabin, clean. But you cannot lock the cabin as there is only one key for all passengers. As a westerner you should definitely prefer bunk-beds, not floor cabins. Floor cabins have no privacy (which may lead to getting into interesting contacts though). Attention: Rubels are neither accepted for payment, nor can you exchange them! Yen, Won, Dollars and credit cards are fine. Information desk staff speaks good English. No proper Lounge, only bars etc. and banks outside. Leaving Vladivostok by ferry is a whopper!

31 Jul 2013a nice trip from Russia to South Korea
We are happy with our choice to travel from Russia( Vladivostok) to South Korea ( Donghae) by ferry. It gave us the respiro time between the experience of two cultures , time which we wouldn't have if we would had taken the plane. In Vladivostok, the Marine Terminal is just behind the main railway station, you just have to pass a walking bridge. Inside the terminal, the signs are not so obvious or are missing. Luckily there are people who are used to the formalities so all you have to do is follow them. This is how we found that we have to go in the office just in front the big souvenirs shop, to pay the terminal fee and take our tickets. Check your tickets to see if they are ok. we didn't and only in the ferry we discovered that we, husband and wife, were put into different cabins, even that we've bought the tickets together. It was easier to get embarked as well as disembarked because it is not as crowded as in an airport. The staff on the ferry was nice and helpful, and kind. All over was clean. We had a delicious breakfast with traditional Korean food. A minus was that there was not enough place for people to socialize inside when outside was bed weather. Still we could and share travelers stories with other people, and that would not have been possible if taking an airplane. Tip: Donghae Marin Terminal is quite far from downtown so you have to exchange some money in the exchange office there, even if the rate is not so good, in order to pay a taxi and so on. The express bus terminal was newly opened and didn't have an exchange office yet. So you pay for the bus ticket by card , or you change enough money on the maritime terminal.

15 May 2013Overland and sea to Korea - the final stage
This was a fascinating introduction to East Asia. The boat was a manageable size with plenty of outside deck space to go for a bracing walk. Staff were very obliging. Our first class cabin had 4 bed rolls and a shower room . It was just as well there were only 3 of us booked as there was mnot a lot of floor space for a fourth. The restaurnat opened for dinner and breakfast for about one hour each. Access via the kitchens was an unusual arrangement. The food was decidedly eastern with little concession to western food. There was plenty though and the fresh rambutans were good. Passport control was slow at Donghae. Those continuing to Japan need to disembark for 4 hours.

Kind Words...
"She is so professional, talented funny and kind, I would highly recommend having Hannah as your makeup artist."
"My makeup lasted the full day, heat wave and all!"
"Makeup that you'll look back on in years time and still adore like you did the first time you wore it"
i first got into bridal when one of my colleagues asked me to do her wedding makeup, i had not long got into makeup so to say i was nervous was an understatement. i turned up on her wedding day and all my nerves quickly disappeared, i knew straight away that this is what i was supposed to be doing.
as the years went on, my past brides were recommending me to their friends and I was rapidly getting busier and busier, i was having to turn many brides away as working full time in cosmetics just didn't allow me the flexibility i needed. in 2018 i had my son oliver and whilst on maternity leave i thought long and hard about my bridal makeup and its potential opportunities. i then decided now or never, i finally took the plunge and made this my full time career. i absolutely adore bridal makeup and being a part of someones special day is truly an honour, i have seen so many brides on their wedding morning and i can honestly say every wedding is truly unique and special, that's what inspires me the most when i'm picturing you on your wedding day. bespoke, elegant, timeless and classic makeup that you'll look back on in years time and still adore like you did the first time you wore it.

BIG NEWS at The World's Worst Newspaper
A bit buried in the unexpected announcement that the New York Times is ditching its first female executive editor, Jill Abramson, after less than three years, is that the man replacing her is also historic. Dean Baquet, 57, unexpectedly became the first African-American atop the paper's masthead today, calling it "an honor to be asked to lead the only newsroom in the country that is actually better than it was a generation ago."
"There is no journalist in our newsroom or elsewhere better qualified to take on the responsibilities of executive editor at this time than Dean Baquet," said Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. "He is an exceptional reporter and editor with impeccable news judgment who enjoys the confidence and support of his colleagues around the world and across the organization."
Yadda, yadda, yadda.
He won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988. After about seven years reporting in New Orleans, including a stint at the Times-Picayune, Baquet moved to the Chicago Tribune in 1984. Four years later, he was part of Pulitzer Prize–winning team that covered City Council corruption. "I've got two boys with two Pulitzers," Baquet's mom has said, including her youngest, Terry, who also won one at the Times-Picayune. "Not many mothers can say that."
At the L.A. Times, he was accused of killing a story on the NSA. Pre-Snowden whistle-blower and AT&T technician Mark Klein worked for two months on a story with L.A. Times reporter Joe Menn, but then told the story "had been killed at the request of then-Director of National Intelligence John Negroponte and then-director of the NSA Gen. Michael Hayden," ABC reported. "Baquet confirmed to ABCNews.com he talked with Negroponte and Hayden but says 'government pressure played no role in my decision not to run the story.' Baquet says he and managing editor Doug Frantz decided 'we did not have a story, that we could not figure out what was going on' based on Klein's highly technical documents."
Klein's story was later published by … the New York Times.
Glennzilla's not going to like this.
But then what does he like?
Los Angeles did not work out. In what he called a "tragic, bad marriage" between the Tribune Company and the L.A. Times, Baquet was forced out when he refused to make dramatic staff cuts in late 2006. "It is the job of an editor of a newspaper to put up a little bit more of a fight than we have put up in the past," Baquet said at a speech just before his firing. "Your newsroom wants you to lead them."
Eventually, Baquet came back to New York. In 2007, he joined the Times again under executive editor Bill Keller, and was considered a top candidate to replace him before Abramson eventually got the (short-lived) job. "These are two people who are really good friends of mine. I don't know what happened," Keller told the Washington Post today. "I'm sad for Jill and hope for the best for Dean."
Meanwhile regarding Baquet . . . personally
Baquet's mother, Myrtle Romano Baquet, who passed away in 2010, was described by The Times-Picayune as "the matriarch of one of New Orleans' first families of home-style Creole cooking." She, along with Baquet's late father, ran the restaurant Eddie's, of which comedian Bill Cosby was a fan and where Baquet's favorite dish was gumbo.
While current coverage makes no mention of it, back in his LAT days Baquet referred to himself not as an African-American but as a "creole"
Here — let Tim Reid and company explain.
As you might expect, LaBelle will sing us out.

Data Parsing
Imagine receiving a file from a client, or your boss, with improperly delimited data. It's actually quite common. Just because someone can build a database, doesn't mean they can properly structure it. A common scenario is for the first and last name fields to be in the same column but you never know what you are going to encounter so it's best to be well versed with the text functions in FileMaker. In fact, data parsing can actually assist in creating features that weren't otherwise possible! That's why I consider data parsing one of the most important skill sets for database developers.

A couple of weeks ago, I told you that I would fill you in on our last meeting with L (Max's birthmom).
Better late then never...
For our 3rd meeting with L, we opted to not go to Chuck E. Cheese. I'm sure most of you are thinking - It's about time!
I'm so grateful for her choice and thankful to God for protecting his life.
On a side note: We Are Grafted In is featuring my Chuck E. Cheese Meltdown post on their blog today. Go check it out by clicking on the button below.

We ended up meeting L at her apartment because her car wasn't working. We were able to help her get that situation taken care of. Once again...God's timing is perfect.
The week before meeting with her, one of my prayers was that Max would perform all of the new things he had been doing lately. You know how it is...when you want your kid to clap, they just look at you like you're crazy. Thankfully, he did all of his new "tricks".
|Max with L
We were with L for a little over 2 hours. I love how much she loves Max and I love that she looks us in the eyes and tells us we're doing a good job raising him.
I had something on my mind for a while and wanted to ask L about it. One of my favorite things about L is that she will tell you pretty much anything if you ask. So this is what I asked her.
Did you ever consider having an abortion?
She immediately said no and told us that it wasn't
the baby's Max's fault that he was in that situation. He deserved to have a life.
I immediately said thank you for choosing life for Max. What else do you say? I find myself asking this question often when I'm with L.
