Agustina C. (Photo credit: Nuria Celnik): Being a mother is something supreme; it's an experience that every woman should live. It's full happiness. All my life I wanted to be a mother and start a family, maybe that's why I decided to study to become a kindergarten teacher, which enforced my wish of having my own son and give me the answers to know how to take care of him and respond quickly to his needs. For me, when I first carried him, it was like having a dream fulfilled. I do not miss any of the things I had to leave for my son, and even with complications in childbirth, to the aches and pains, I regretted never having had it because it gives me the strength to get up every morning, to move, to fight, and to survive. Santino makes it all worthwhile.
Amelia R. (Photo credit: Sebastian Luraghi): The words I see: When I asked my aunt to take her a picture, I told her "Smile aunt", and she answered me back "You ask me to smile?, You never saw me smile? Every time I look at you I smile because I raised you as the son I once had, and see you, fills me with happiness. Yes, I am telling you, the one who is looking at me from behind the glass, I tell you. I love you like a son, then I will always smile for you. "After hearing that sounds a click, and that smile was recorded on my camera and thought "I could not have chosen a better person to portray." The words to me that day I had never heard it from her and I feel that rather than portray, to her, I portrayed those sweet words that gives me that smile, just for me.
Andrea B. (Photo credit: Monica Rios Aguirre): Andrea is a sweet and charismatic woman, always with a smile, apparently living things that are bearable is no problem if we refer to her smile- it is easy eloquence. She is a working woman who cares about the welfare of her daughter and that of others. She gave birth to her first and only child at the age 37, she dances and likes to share, and watches her baby grow. Current Status: Divorced.
Beatriz B. (Photo credit: Pedro Vidal Bavio): In 1993 a group of 32 volunteers began Grávida, a center for unborn life in the city of San Pedro. Our main concern is to train and promote moms so they can sustain the life of their children. In other words, our experience is teaching them to be mothers.
Belen V. (Photo credit: Maria Victoria Benitez): It's not easy being a teen mom, and it is not easy being a mother and father at the same time, but the light that brings a child, does not compare to anything. That a small person gives you so much love, without expecting anything in return, the strength to get up every day and that is all that you expect to see at night, it's incomparable to anything. It is not easy but it is worth every second, every second is unique and irreplaceable. From the moment you know that someone lives inside you, until ... the rest of your life! And if I had to choose how to do things again, I would do exactly the same, because every step I took to be a mom. I would choose him again.
Carmen D. (Photo credit: Fernando Litvac): Carmen is a mother who has raised her children with the same love and the same affection that today she also offers unconditionally to other people. She feels it is part of her life to help and be kind to the people around her, regardless of race, creed or social status. Her maternal behavior transcends, thus bringing all her experience as a woman and as a mother to help others. Understand that those bad things she has faced in her life should not interfere in her family and in the lives of their loved ones. By being compassionate and having self-esteem she is the heart of the people around her.
Estela B. (Photo credit: Gabriela Martinez): My children are the best thing that happened to me. I would do anything just to be with them again. A tip for all who are just beginning motherhood: Be patient, love them, listen to them and advise them. It is preferable that our children say they are fed up with our advice than to say that they never had any advice.
Gimena P. (Photo credit: Fiorella Heredia): The year we got married, we decided to look for a child. We were traveling and got pregnant for the first time. In the first ultrasound we were excited to go hear our baby's heartbeat, but unfortunately it was not alive. I had a disease called MOLA and I had to make a scraping internarme because it was dangerous to allow more time. It was a very sad situation. We had to wait 6 months to keep trying and I became pregnant, the first ultrasound before I started having losses, I rest but it didn't work out. When I made the relevant studies, I detected a clotting issue and other genetic problems, which, given certain risks could be treated. Finally, I got pregnant for the third time and as they say, the third time's a charm. Despite fears that suffered during pregnancy, 20 August 2010 was born Clara. It was worth it to keep trying!
Johanna A. (Photo credit: Andrew Gamez): When I was 16 years old I had my daughter, at first I felt she wasn't mine - I was still living the same as before. Then she started growing, and from that time we were inseparable. She fills my life with love and joy. When I gave birth to her I didn't know what to do with it, now I don't know what I'd do without her, we do everything together and are inseparable. When she was only 3 years old she asked me about my relationship with my girlfriend, and I told her about my sexual orientation, but she only smiled and kept playing.
Judith F. (Photo credit: Celeste Farias): I am the mother of a daughter desired with all the strength of my heart. I raised her with the purest love that a great mom can have. Over his 21 years I had to go through some unpleasant circumstances, due to premature birth, and rely on a wheelchair for the rest of life. Nothing that we have gone through together has put her in a situation so unpleasant and of discrimination, as it is now she has to live outside her sexual orientation. I never felt so proud of someone like my daughter; she has fought for their rights for life and will continue doing it, because she deserves it, like all of us, the same opportunities in all areas of her life. I never tolerated discrimination against her disability and I won't for her sexual orientation. We teach her about freedom and equality, and fight for a better and fairer world. If today I had a chance to turn back time, I would choose my daughter exactly the way she is, genuine and happy.
Liliana R. (Photo credit: Paula Araceli Gauto): I have four children, four altogether. They are quadruplets, so in my case motherhood was a total change in my life. Their dad is gone. I am a mom and a dad and that costs you more. Motherhood is a struggle for me. And things overcome you when you have a lot to do. I have to teach them that life is not easy, but we must not give up ... so I do not lose my smile.
Marcela G. (Photo credit: Maria Laura Ayala): Having children completes you as a woman, it's like a legacy. I didn't think I was going to get married and have children, but when you see that little person is different, love is different to everyone, it changes everything, and you grow as a person. It gives you a reason to live – for them. Mother is the one who raises, not only the one who gave birth, and everything depends on love.
Maria Belen G. (Photo credit: Romina De la Torre): María Belen Gomez began her maternity at the age of 31 years, and at just three months, her daughter was born with an emergency. Milena was premature at 7 months' gestation and weighing 650 grams. The obstetrician said it was necessary to induce labor by cesarean section sooner and that from then on there was a 50% chance both for and against her survival. Belén felt sadness and fear but she never lost his characteristic smile and optimism towards life. Today Milena has reached 2kg and is expected to leave the hospital soon, with her husband to go home. It is a long and exhausting process, but the love of her mother and her personality as a sweet and strong woman helps Milena grow a little more each day.
Maria Florencia I. (Photo credit: Maria Candelaria Rivera Gadea): Flor is a great makeup artist. At the age of 26 she had her first child as a single mother and raised him with effort and dedication, without renouncing her profession. Flor continued to devote herself to what she likes to do. Her youthful spirit, is so lively and dynamic, and makes her a positive energy person. The relationship with her eldest son, now 9 years old, has always been very loving and special. Seven years after her first pregnancy, Flor met the man who is now her partner, and together they look forward to the arrival of Sofia. Flor is a few days away from giving birth to this new baby. She looks very happy to start a family together, and she's confident that any problems they encounter in the future, they may face and solve together. Now she begins a new stage in her life, and looks forward and hopes.
Maria Laura R. (Photo Credit: Dario Lucio Canestrari): I gave birth to my son choosing to get pregnant, but his father chose to be with another woman, and after two years the situation, I left, because I resigned to living a life with a man who would not love me. From then on, my son was solely my responsibility. After several years I had another husband, with whom I lived through situations of abuse and violence, and therefore I separated from him. I started from scratch again with my son accompanying me on the bed, but with integrity. Gradually I was taking new possibilities: I changed jobs, I did many different things, and I was growing and creating new emotional contexts, but it all had to do with knowing that I need to transform myself. However, I got cancer. So many years of violence and emotional distress in my body surfaced, and I was my own enemy. As a mother, I take care of the situations I can for my son.
Maria Paula G. (Photo credit: Guadalupe Rojo): Paula is a young mother who gave birth to twins after unintended pregnancy that turned out to be the greatest blessing of her life. At birth she was "unconsciously happy", relaxed and smooth, and after a cesarean procedure, the twins were born in perfect condition. Six months after the arrival of her children, her parents and sister died in a car accident on their way to visit. But it was from her role as a mother that she found "harmony within the horror". Her children helped rebuild her family concept, and today, in the absence of her own mother, she became one, with admirable values. To Paula motherhood means love, unconditional. She is a very cheerful and artistic, and despite the pain of her loss, managed to find this harmony doubly in her children, Joan and Fred.
Maria Victoria A. (Photo credit: Gustavo Penjasoff): The greatest treasure in life is definitely being a mother, in my case I gave birth when I was 19 years old to my first daughter. Today I am a mother and grandmother, and that makes me happy every day. Sometimes I feel that even as adults protecting you as if it were the first day I came into the world. Becoming a mother gave me peace and happiness that might otherwise never have been found.
Micaela Paula B. (Photo credit: Agostina Mercuri): With my age, at age 21, being a mother changed my life in taking more responsibilities, prioritizing the needs of my child before my own, and choosing to make the right decisions for him. I care that my son sees me as a good example and as the mother figure throughout his life. Because I did not have a strong mother figure, and I think it is essential for growth. I think that the concerns arise over the course of time, and depend on circumstances that arise in life. I understand that motherhood is a mutual process of learning and teaching, it does make you feel full and content with yourself as you rate what you have at your fingertips and more. I think motherhood is making the impossible possible.
Mila K. (Photo credit: Victoria Muruzeta Jurjevic): I am 95 years old. I was 21 when I arrived to Argentina in 1937. From the moment we got off the ship in Buenos Aires I liked the landscape. I came here to meet my new husband that I had not seen since I was young in my country, Croatia. We settled in Ramos Mejia and I had the first of my daughters the first year. I was always happy to have four daughters. And my husband was good, so that was good. Now I have nothing to do with being a mother, I am now a grandmother, but I'm still mom. Patience is the most important at the time to be a mother, love, care, and education that children need, and always having fun.

No matter how much it rained, how it dry. No matter how much she have not ate or how do not drink. Nothing else matters but her flock. Joy, just the joy of having her around, see her, smell her, touch her, raise her, educate her, love her.

She had her first child at the age of 15 years old, a strong and healthy boy, and later gave birth to a girl. Being a mother, from young stands out in her personal life, both at work and in any business carried out. She is single, but beyond that her condition makes her a woman who is strong with a high sense of transcendence.
Yolanda S. (Photo credit: Mailen Brito): My life story: In a few years my life underwent a great change, when I was 18 years old I had my first daughter, two years later I had my son and four years later, I widowed. Being a single mother involved a greater effort especially because I was very young. I could not devote all the time that they deserved, because there was a greater need for going to work. They learned to be so independent that my 18 year old daughter decided to get married and have a baby. These were her last moments, for a malpractice of the doctors, my daughter died. As a mother I began to feel hatred, bitterness, and resentment, I could not understand how I could lose my daughter and knowing that it was not by the laws of life. I still had my son, who I had to fight for, he was my only hope. He takes his place and my daughter's, I take care of him regardless of age, he is really the only person I have left in life.

PEOPLE'S TRUST INSURANCE CEO SUING HIS PARTNER'S WIDOW FOR $4 MILLION HE SAYS HE OVERPAID IN 2014 BUYOUT
By Ron Hurtibise, Sun Sentinel — April 23, 2018
People's Trust Insurance lost $42 million in 2016, was recently in financial "shambles," and was overvalued by more than $50 million when current President and CEO George W. Schaeffer agreed to buy half of the company from the widow of his late partner. Those claims surfaced in a memo that Schaeffer reportedly sent to Eileen Gold, widow of company co-founder Mike Gold, before he sued her for the return of $4 million he says he overpaid her.
One of Eileen Gold's attorneys, Etan Mark of the Miami-based firm Mark Migdal & Hayden, said in an interview Friday that the widow released the memo because "my client is not going to be threatened by a bully who views it as sport to renege on a deal from four years ago."
According to Mark, Schaeffer has not disputed the memo's authenticity. Eileen Gold, however, disputes Schaeffer's accusations that her late husband engaged in criminal behavior, spent his time in casinos and massage parlors, and mismanaged the company's finances, Mark said.
Plus, "I have not seen any evidence suggesting the company was overvalued when he bought it," he said, adding, "What Schaeffer has done with the company in the past four years he's been running it … I guess we'll find out."

Murray Pedder - Flyz Inc.
It was my father, Dennis, who first introduced me to fishing at the age of five and then fly fishing and tying at the age of twelve. My first fly-tying kit was very basic and in less than two weeks I was asking for another. I was hooked. Given my newly-discovered passion, my dad would take me, every Saturday, to Leo Rosenstein's in town to stock up on tying supplies. Through the store, I was introduced to Terry Ruane – a phenomenal fly tier. Over the next six months' worth of Saturdays he taught me the finer points of fly tying.
I first entered the world of work as a casual employee in the fishing departments of Outdoor Living and M.E. Stores. After completing a diploma in data communications, I realised my passion for fly fishing and the outdoors was where my heart was, so I left the communications industry.
Over the next two years, I worked for Gone Fishing in their wholesale and retail division. While with Gone Fishing, I spent time in Botswana assisting with the establishment of a small fly-tying operation whose employees needed fly-tying training in smaller patterns for fresh water species. At the time, Gone Fishing's tying expertise lay in the tying of flies for large bass and pike.
After leaving Gone Fishing, my wife and I moved to Malawi for four years. We managed a fly tying operation there – Zomba Fishing Flies. The company exported upwards of six hundred and eighty-four thousand flies a year to both Canada and America. We employed seventy fly-tying experts on a full-time basis and an additional one hundred and ten seasonally. It was while running Zomba Fishing Flies, that I learnt the true meaning of quality-production tying. The American and Canadian markets only accept flies tied to the highest of standards and of exceptional quality. The company took just two years to turn a profit and grew substantially during the time that my wife and I ran it.
After leaving Zomba, I joined Fly Fishing Adventures – taking over the retail management from Derek Manson in 1994. However, as with anyone, in any industry, there was a definite desire to escape being merely an employee. So, together with Ricko Cronje, I founded my own company. We named it Fly Fishers Unlimited and the two of us worked together in the retail industry for close to sixteen years. A big part of our business was the making of custom flies and rods. Within this retail business model, we added the option for travel. We thus ran, hosted and guided trips to the Seychelles, Cuba, Costa Rica, the Zambezi, Mozambique and to local fishing hotspots.
I have had the privilege of fishing in the Seychelles, Costa Rica, America, Zambia, Mozambique and many of the great local destinations South Africa has to offer.
I have also acted as the Fly-Tying Field Editor for The Complete Fly Fisherman magazine for over 8 years. This role includes writing articles on fly tying as well as the practical application of using flies for all manner of species, both locally and abroad.
I now head up production, customer relations and certain aspects of our travels at Flyz Inc.

As the Orioles' long offseason begins, a total housecleaning is in order
By Paul Folkemer
The Orioles wrapped up the worst season in franchise history on a rare positive note, blanking the Houston Astros on Sunday in what may have been the swan song for both center fielder Adam Jones and manager Buck Showalter.
Now, the Orioles head into an offseason rife with questions. One looms larger than the rest: Who will be the manager and general manager for the club next season?
The contracts of Showalter, the club's skipper since August 2010, and Dan Duquette, the Orioles' executive vice president since November 2011, expire this month. The two baseball lifers, who were at the helm for three Orioles' postseason teams, face uncertain futures.
Showalter and Duquette deserve credit for restoring winning baseball to Baltimore after more than a decade of futility. During a five-year span from 2012-2016, the Orioles won the most games in the American League, going 444-366 and earning an AL East pennant in 2014. Nobody will soon forget those accomplishments.
Having said that, it's time for a change. The Orioles are in dire need of a fresh start, which means finding a new GM and manager to steer the ship.
Simply put, when a team puts up a season as historically awful as this year's 47-115 Orioles — who tied for the fourth-most losses of the modern era — maintaining the status quo can't be an option.
What's hard to swallow is that the Orioles not only lost 115 games but lost 115 games in a season in which they thought they might contend. That's where they differ from those other 115-loss teams, who knew they were going to be bad. The 1962 New York Mets (120 losses) were an expansion team and never had a chance of success. The 2003 Detroit Tigers (119 losses) were in rebuild mode from the beginning and threw untested youngsters to the wolves. The 1916 Philadelphia Athletics (117 losses) had traded away nearly their entire roster in a cost-cutting measure.
The Orioles, though, started the 2018 season thinking they could still make a run at the playoffs, ignoring the warning signs of a dreadful 2017 September (4-19) and a 75-87 record. It's why they didn't trade Manny Machado, Zach Britton or other pending free agents during the offseason. It's why they signed Alex Cobb to a four-year, $57-million in spring training to bolster their pitching staff.
The Orioles were making one last bid for glory before their best players went their separate ways, which made their catastrophic collapse all the more stunning.
The season derailed immediately, with the club losing five games in a row after an Opening Day walkoff win. For whatever reason, the Orioles never could pull themselves out of their tailspin. Loss after loss piled up, and the club was buried by the end of April in a season that snowballed hopelessly out of control.
The Orioles were depressingly consistent with their losing. They never won more than nine games in any calendar month. Only once did they win more than three games in a row. And they had just two series sweeps all season: a two-gamer against the New York Mets in June and a three-gamer over the Toronto Blue Jays at the end of August. By contrast, the Orioles were swept 17 times in a series of two or more games.
Even the Kansas City Royals, who for most of the season were side-by-side with the Orioles in MLB's basement, found a late-season spark after committing to a rebuild. They won 19 of their final 33 games, as their young team gelled and several prospects put up promising performances.
That didn't happen in Baltimore. The Orioles lost for four months with a roster of experienced veterans, then lost for two more months with a team of untested youngsters. No combination of players could find a way to win, and the coaching staff seemed helpless to improve the situation.
All season long, the club's defense and fundamentals — which had been a strength under Showalter in past seasons — abandoned them. The sloppy play, and lack of improvement over the course of the season, didn't go unnoticed by Orioles' veterans.
"It's extremely disheartening when you kind of play this sloppy game, extra bases, missed coverages, missed execution on all kinds of different things," said catcher Caleb Joseph after one particularly gruesome loss in Tampa Bay in early September. "It's one thing if you're playing clean games that you can see everybody kind of improving, and you can see guys moving in the right direction and kind of taking advantage of opportunities, but that's just not what we're seeing."
Let's be clear: Showalter wasn't the reason the Orioles fell apart in 2018. No manager could've led this team to success. But eventually, any manager's message can begin to be ignored — as Showalter himself has often acknowledged. Even a skipper as successful and well-respected as Showalter reaches a point where he may not be able to click with his team. It's nobody's fault; it's just baseball. Sometimes a club simply needs a new voice.
A managerial change would, most likely, result in sweeping changes to the coaching staff, too. That's probably for the best. Pitching coach Roger McDowell has found little success in his two years in Baltimore. The Orioles, who had a 4.22 ERA in 2016 under former pitching coach Dave Wallace, have seen that mark inflate to 4.97 in 2017 and an MLB-worst 5.18 this season, while young pitchers such as Dylan Bundy have failed to develop as hoped. Meanwhile, the Orioles' offense, led by fourth-year hitting coach Scott Coolbaugh, had the lowest batting average (.239) and on-base percentage (.298) in the AL this year, and few hitters performed up to expectations.
The Orioles' housecleaning, though, shouldn't be limited to the field. They could also use a revamp in the front office, where layers of bureaucracy and confusion have run rampant in recent years. In July, I detailed the Orioles' many mistakes and poor choices that led to this disastrous 2018 season, and most of them spawned from the fact that Orioles' key decision-makers often weren't on the same page.
In fairness, the Orioles have already taken steps to improve that situation. Majority owner Peter Angelos has ceded control of club operations to his sons, John and Lou, who have steered the team in a new direction (including a renewed commitment to the international amateur market, which was lacking under the previous regime). They handed Duquette the reins for the Orioles' flurry of selloff trades in July, and he pulled off five deals that netted 15 prospects and international bonus slot money.
Still, while Duquette got the rebuild started, there's plenty more work to be done. What better way for the Angelos sons to make their own imprint on the team than to hand-pick a new general manager? They inherited Duquette, but with the offseason now upon them, they can take the time to sift through other promising candidates and find one whose vision for the club best matches their own.
The times are very much a-changing in Baltimore. The overhaul of the roster is in full swing; 11 players who were on the Orioles' Opening Day roster have already been jettisoned from the organization, with plenty more to come this winter. Now, the Orioles need to take it a step further.
If the Orioles are fully committed to a rebuild, they need to reassess every aspect of their organization — not just who's on the field, but who's in the dugout and the front office. No single person was at fault for the debacle that unfolded in Baltimore this season, but everybody shoulders at least some responsibility.
There's no time like the present for the Orioles to start from scratch. The sooner they can put together a new front office and coaching staff — and distance themselves from their 2018 disaster — the better.
I'm hearing that the biggest changes coming(maybe by Nov)I are not Buck,DD,but ownership itself. Is MLB demanding that the team be sold and NOT allow the Sons to simply take over? This could significantly derail any plans going forward especially when it appeared there was finally a direction. This saga never ends. Meanwhile the Mesa bros are in Fla waiting to be scoffed up. Can't ANYTHING go smoothly?
Djowen
Every team has one owner that is designated as the one in charge to MLB. For the O's it is Peter who is no longer running things. MLB told the team that they needed to designate who is in charge by November. They never demanded that the team be sold.
The Mesa brothers are Cuban. Miami is a Cuban hot bed. Why wouldn't they look at Miami as the place they want to go even if they could get an extra million in Baltimore?
I heard that MLB will not allow a transfercto Sons and push for a sale. Not my opinion but what I heard(WashingtonTimes)
The 3000-pound elephant in the room is Chris Davis. Can a rebuild seriously begin with one hand tied behind the team's back: a wasted roster spot, or worse, three or four automatic outs every night? What impact will his presence have on the kids, both those in the clubhouse and those down on the farm waiting for a chance? The truth is, in business terms, his contract is a sunk cost; you cut your losses and move on. The results of a truly bad negotiation almost could not have been worse. I KNOW the financial impact will be enormous, but it already is.
deqalt
Orioles aren't being sold obviously. I think the overhaul should start in the minors were clearly the Orioles have a pitcher development problem!
Check the Washington Times. May have to sell.
Here is what the Washington Times said:
"That fight has resulted in rumors in Baltimore that the Orioles would consider moving the franchise if they are dealt what they believe is a debilitating hand in the MASN dispute.
Last week, respected Baltimore Sun columnist Peter Schmuck wrote that the MASN dispute has led to "whispers around town about the possibility of the Orioles leaving Baltimore one day."
I know Peter Schmuck well. He didn't just pull that out of thin air."…
"Threats of relocation are empty. What is more likely is that in the next several years, the Orioles are sold. There is this feeling inside Major League Baseball that they would not live with the two sons running the franchise, although how they could force a sale is unclear.
Then again, that could be the whole purpose behind MLB's support of the Nationals in the MASN dispute – to force a sale. Then, for Orioles fans, Christmas may finally arrive at Camden Yards."
This is coming from a Washington newspaper that supports the Nationals and not the Orioles. No where does it say the MLB is forcing a sale. It says that MLB doesn't want the 2 brothers running the team but it does not give any support to their statement other then rumors from Peter schmuck.
Beeb
It's amazing that losing 115 games is somehow a recipe to keep anyone. Let Dan go back to the Cape Cod league. Let Fightened Hormonal Buck keep Britton warming in the pen…somewhere else. "Anyone But" should be the mantra of every fan. Can it get worse?
bmorebirds
Yup, time for an unsentimental, top-to-bottom overhaul. I hope this leads to an era where the Angelos family allows BASEBALL PROFESSIONALS to guide the Orioles' on-field fortunes. Along those lines, if I go online tomorrow and see Brady Anderson has been made the new GM, that will be a baaaaad omen.
Please someone tell me why the Orioles didn't need a lefty throwing 100mph? #joshhader
Creatively09
You make the case for it, but I don't know if the O's will make that commitment. I have a bad feeling in my stomach that Duquette will be back, and I really hope that doesn't happen.
BMore! I agree on Brady. He seems to enjoy the periphery role. Let's hope that continues. The "everyday" is much harder. First interview question should be for a new manager, "what would you do with Davis?".
bigdaddydk
That's a good interview question, for sure. It's also important to note, since ownership seems to have a strong interest in Davis, at least financially, that a manager may be handcuffed for four more years. Maybe less once they've paid him enough to strike out and bat below .200, but I wonder if they'll actually agree to eat the contract and move on. It is, as was noted above, a sunk cost. Because the money is guaranteed, he gets paid to strike out, sit on the bench, or sit on the couch at home. They all pretty much have a similar result and the team is better with a replacement level player than Davis. As much as I hate to say it — I really do like the kind of person Davis is as a charitable and generally, seemingly, humble fellow — he needs to be cut loose now and the team needs to just acknowledge that it was a bad contract and move on.
Beeb, Chris Davis' presence is a testament to Angelos Family Meddling. The fact that the Orioles may have to eat his monstrous contract should clue-in the Angelos clan that this ain't fantasy baseball. folks. It may feel like it, but the resulting 115 losses are all too real. They need to hire the best front office they can attract, given their industry-wide reputation for meddling and mucking things up, and then sit back and give talented BASEBALL PROFESSIONALS the autonomy to return winning baseball to Baltimore. 2018 can't swirl down the toilet fast enough for Orioles fans.

I think I'll blame the media since no one else has. Not too hard, though. It seems to me we have pretty well-informed people in these discussions, but we don't seem to know very much about the troika of Brady and the Young Angeloses or how they interact in the present dynamics. Media people don't usually say much about them except who they get along with. Sometimes we read Brady was influential in making the team attractive to some players when those players are doing well, but that's about it. Not a lot of digging, it seems to me. Full disclosure: I don't live in the Baltimore area, so maybe I'm missing a lot. But I just don't see that the troika has a lot of baseball management smarts or even interest. If they really are as influential as has been suggested, maybe the housecleaning should start there, redefining them into weaker roles, assuming that they have to stay in some capacity.
Excellent hard hitting comment. We all know what the media can do(ask Trump). So yes let's hear what Brady does and yes this house cleaning should be more extensive than we all think.
This is off topic, but here's a suggestion for a future posting. Before the season began, the writers at BB made their predictions for the season. One guy surprisingly picked the Braves to win the NL East. What did he see that the rest of us missed?
Ryan Flaherty saw something in Atlanta that made him pick the
Braves over the O's. Maybe he's ready to be a GM.
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Guys, great comments all. Before we start re-constructing the roster, can someone who knows, tell all of us why the debacle of last September happened and why did the front office ignore it this past off season. There is something wrong in the clubhouse since the same players were there last September that were here to start the season. Don't we need to assess where we went wrong so we know NOT to repeat it again.
I'm sure that's foremost on their minds. There was talent around too.

Since our Cook is on Vacation for almost a month, Me and my Brother rotates as cooks (it's just my second time though). For Dinner, I cooked Sinampalukang Manok or Chicken on Tamarind Soup and Daing na Bangus or Dried Butterly cut Bangus.
Cooking Sinampalukan is quite easy. Just Sauté Ginger and Garlic until Golden Brown then Add the Onions and the Chicken. Cook for about 10 minutes until the Chicken gets Tender. Add about 7 cups of Water. Bring to Boil for about another 10 Minutes then add the Tamarind Base Soup Mix together with leafy veggies of your choice. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes and your soup is ready to be served!
Preparing the Daing na Bangus is quite a difficult job which includes De-boning, Sun-drying and and Seasoning it taht is why Commercialized Daing are being sold on Supermarkets and even on the Streets here in the Country but of course, Preparing it yourself makes the Bangus extra special. This one, it was given by our Aunt and all I did was to Fry it. You can make it as Tender or as Crispy as you like!

I'm Learning Japanese
Back in January, I set an unusual goal for myself. I decided I want to learn Japanese.
It happened because I decided to pick up New Japan for a month just to see Wrestle Kingdom. I had trouble navigating the mixed language site, and I ended up watching the show with the Japanese commentary instead of English. I loved it, and I was intrigued. So I decided to pick up Japanese.
Just a month or two before watching Wrestle Kingdom I heard Kevin Owens tell the story of how he learned English by watching Monday Night Raw. I wondered if it was possible for an American fan to do the same watching New Japan.
Four months later, Duolingo released their Japanese language module. I've been working at it ever since, and in July, I re-subscribed to new Japan World. Is it working? Well, no. Not yet. I'm still very much a beginner, but I'm determined. I'm also loving New Japan way more than WWE right now. As a matter of fact I'm planning to drop the WWE Network this fall and go exclusively with New Japan.
I'll repeat that in case you missed it. I am unplugging WWE this fall in favor of New Japan.
Fans, if you are sick of what you're seeing on TV, there are options. Vote with your remote. Vote with your subscriber dollars. Pick up New Japan World, or CHIKARATOPIA, or CZW, or High Spots. Or drop 'em all and get the free Rasslin' channel on Roku.
The WWE doesn't listen to your complaints on Facebook and message boards. As long as you keep on paying your $9.99 a month, they could care less what you say on Twitter, Reddit, or any other website.
You know what they do care about? People hitting the unsubscribe button. That's how you get their attention.
Right now, the best wrestling is not at the biggest company. I know I'm not alone in this sentiment. If you are tired of being disappointed, stop setting yourself up for disappointment. Cancel the Network. Find something new. Find something you love and support that. Stop supporting the stuff that's letting you down.

Six Inconvenient Truths About WWE and Indy Wrestling
I don't like to editorialize about the WWE, and I don't like to go negative in this space. That said, after hearing the air get sucked out of the building at the end of the Money in the Bank match, it's time we face some inconvenient truths.
Inconvenient Truth #1: The WWE doesn't want to push your favorite indy stars. Over the last several years they WWE has snatched up a dream roster of independent wrestling stars, but it's becoming clear none of these signees are ever going to be "the guy." Styles, Owens, and Rollins have done well carrying the top belts for long periods of time, but when push comes to shove, the WWE will always favor their own.
Inconvenient Truth #2: The WWE wants the next top guy(s) to be their guys. Never mind that independent wrestlers bring not only an established fan base but experience and ring saavy to the table. The WWE still believes it can manufacture stars from scratch at its Performance Center and push them over the independents. Get used to seeing Sami Zayn staring up in frustration at the latest home grown wrestler on top of the Money in the Bank ladder. This is your new reality in the WWE.
So why does the WWE continue to mine the independents?
Inconvenient Truth #3: The WWE is spending money on independent wrestlers to bleed the indies dry of their top stars. It's not about enhancing the roster. It's about hurting the competition by taking away their marquee stars and using those highly paid signees to put over their chosen elect.
Inconvenient Truth #4: Any independent star who has a WWE contract needs to consider more than just the money. That's a hard, hard thing to do when you're looking at going from $25 a night to the top of the business, but is the WWE really going to give you your dream shot? The roster is overcrowded. Guys who were on top all around the world are forced to job to pre-fabbed stars. Dalton Castle, Kenny Omega, and the Young Bucks have made the right call, staying where they are instead of taking the money for a one way ticket to obscurity. (Remember how excited we all were when Anderson and Gallows got signed?)
Of course it's easy for the guys who are being paid well to stay put, but what about the guys struggling to make it?
Here comes the most inconvenient truth of all.
Inconvenient Truth #5: Fans who are sick of it need to seriously consider where they spend their money. If you keep paying for a product you hate and refuse to spend a dime on ROH, NJPW, High Spots, CHIKARA, CZW, or any number of alternatives. Am I suggesting you cancel your Network subscription? Not necessarily. I am saying you should stop spending all that fat cash on T-shirts and Pops and Booty-O's Cereal and spend a little more on a wrestling product you can care about!
I've said this before and I'll say it again: one ticket to a WWE show costs the same amount as six tickets to an independent show; or two tickets and two T-shirts; or a six month subscription to the alternative wrestling network of your choice. The money you spend there goes into the pockets of real men and women who need and appreciate it far more than a faceless corporation that long ago decided it knows better than you what you want to see.
Inconvenient Truth #6: The WWE is not about to change its ways any time soon. Indy stars will continue to take the WWE money, and Inconvenient Truths 1-3 will continue to play out.
Knowing this to be true, you have a choice. You can continue watching a product you hate and griping about it online, or you can make a choice to spend your time and hard-earned money on a wrestling show you do love.
Life's too short to spend on these Internet rants. I'm going to find something I enjoy.

The Legend of Masked Superman I
In 1940 a man by the name of Masked Superman took the Allen Athletic Club in Louisville by storm. His dirty tactics and roughhousing drew the ire of the fans who hated him so much, they turned up in larger and larger numbers every week, hoping to see him unmasked.
In early 1941 Masked Superman was unmasked by Orville Brown. The man beneath the mask was Hans Schnabel, the son of German immigrants, and a native of New York state. Schnabel was no stranger to the Louisville fans. He had made numerous appearances for the Allen Athletic Club beginning back in 1935. But the run he had in 1940 and 1941 was so successful, he launched a steady parade of masked wrestlers that would continue throughout the Allen Club's history
Schnabel was born Herbert Moeller in Rye, New York in 1908. His parents had two sons, Fritz and Otto, who were both born in Germany. Their mother died shortly after young Herbert was born, a victim of the flu epidemic that struck New York in 1910. The family moved to Connecticut not long after Herbert's mother passed.
Herbert contracted Polio at age 8. The disease affected both his legs, but his right leg suffered the worst. It was a long recovery for the young man, and brothers Fritz and Otto would pull him around town in a wagon for the next two years. Herbert slowly learned to talk again, but he was left with a club foot. He eventually fully from the disease and his right leg returned to a normal position, but he was always self-conscious about his legs. He wore sweats throughout his career as a result.
Herbert took a job in a factory as a teenager before embarking on a new career as an auto mechanic with his brother Fritz. They opened a garage in Connecticut and were very successful, but Herbert dreamed of two things: seeing the country, and wrestling. When Fritz saw the money that was possible in pro wrestling, he too took an interest, and the brothers decided to leave the garage for what they hoped would be a more lucrative future.
When the time came to choose a ring name, Fritz and Herbert decided to honor their mother by adopting her maiden name, Schnabel. Herbert chose to work under his childhood nickname Hans, and together, the Schnabel brothers broke into the wrestling world.
During the early 1930s the Schnabels worked for promoter Jack Pfefer, wrestling mainly in New York and Ohio. In 1936, Hans was offered his first shot at the World Heavyweight Championship, but shortly before the match, Hans became so ill, he had to withdraw. Dave Levin took his place and won the Title on a disqualification.
Later that same year, Fritz and Hans left for a tour of South Africa. When they returned to the United States, they were joined on the road by brother Otto. Otto had a tag partner from Denver who wrestled under the name of George Schnabel, but was no relation.
Schnabel worked in Louisville during the late 1930s and had his highly successful run as Masked Superman during 1940 and 1941. By the late 1940s Hans and Fritz were working for promoter Fred Kohler in Chicago as well as several promoters on the West Coast.
By the early 1950s Fritz was ready to get out of the business. He was 45 years old and didn't have the desire Hans had to continue. Fritz came to Louisville before hanging up the trunks in 1951 for a one night stand as a masked wrestler named Big Red. He appeared once more in a tag match with Bill Longson, looking for revenge against the man who unmasked him, the mysterious "Mr. X."
With his brother gone, Hans teamed up with his long time friend Lou Newman and wrestled as the Iron Russians. He also worked with another famous mask, "The Zebra Kid" George Bollas.
In 1952 the Masked Superman story came full circle for Schnabel in an interesting way when he appeared on television with TV's Superman, George Reeves. Schnabel appeared in the episode "No Holds Barred" playing a wrestler working for a crooked promoter. The life long heel did the job at the end of the show for the Man of Steel.
Hans Schnabel's final match, according to his son Phil Moeller, was in May 1960. Hans Schnabel retired at the age of 52 after a career spanning 26 years. He wrestled all across the United States, Hawaii, South Africa, and Japan. The young boy who suffered a devastating bout with Polio overcome life's hard knocks and become one of professional wrestling's greatest heels.
Hans Schnabel passed away on July 2, 1980. He is buried in Chatsworth, California.

The Great Billy Thom
Heywood Allen ran his first show under his own banner in Swiss Park on June 4, 1935. They drew 1000 people that night, 822 of them paid, for a gate of $485. Allen was already there established face of Louisville wrestling, having been part of the city's fight tradition for nearly 30 years, but at history first show, Allen chose a man whose pro wrestling legend has largely been overshadowed by his accomplishments in traditional wrestling.
Billy Thom was billed as the Junior Welterweight Championship that night, and he successfully defended his title against Alexander "Cyclone" Burns. Thom, who also wrestled in Indianapolis and other towns across the Midwest, was a fixture for the Allen Club from 1935 to 1940. He wrestled Louisville stalwart Blacksmith Pedigo, the groundbreaking Lord Patrick Lansdowne, and University of Kentucky legend Billy Love.
Thom's rivalry with Love was fitting because outside the squared circle, Thom was the head wrestling coach at Indiana University. He began his coaching career at Wabash High School before moving up to IU in 1927. Thom built the IU wrestling program into a powerhouse, winning eight Big Ten titles and the 1932 NCAA championship during his tenure.
Thom's proudest moment came in 1936, when he traveled to Berlin to coach the United States wrestling team in the Olympics. Three of Thom's Indiana students made the squad that summer Charley McDaniel and Willard Duffy were named alternates, while Dick Voliva competed against the world's best.
Voliva was a native of Bloomington, a two-time state champion, and a member of Thom's 1932 national championship team. He won an NCAA title of his own in 1934, and after graduating with his bachelor's degree, he continued to train with Thom while working on his Master's degree.
Voliva made it all the way to the gold medal round, where he finally tasted defeat. He took home the silver, becoming the only Indiana University grad to medal in wrestling.
Thom was thrilled for his student, a young man he had watched over for nearly a decade. "A boy I had seen grow up in Bloomington, had coached to a Big Ten Championship, an NCAA championship, a National AAU championship, and then the Olympic team… if I were to pick one incident as my greatest thrill, that would be it."
Thom's success at the Olympics enabled him to continue recruiting the top wrestlers from across the state, including a state champion from Hammond, Indiana known best to today's fans as Dory Funk, Sr. He left Indiana University in 1945 but returned to work for the Allen Club in both 1945 and 1946 as a wrestler. He made one final appearance for the club in 1951, when he acted as special guest referee for a match between Lou Thesz and a masked menace named Green Dragon.

Dick the Bruiser Gets His Due
"When I started wrestling, everyone like Gorgeous George had on capes [and] big robes; really gaudy and everything. Then I came along and all I had was pair of trunks and my shoes. I had no gimmick. It was the absence of gimmicks that made me different."
— Dick the Bruiser
I first heard about this book when I was working on Bluegrass Brawlers from Chris Parsons, who used to run a fabulous website on Indianapolis wrestling called Rasslin Relics. For many people who grew up in Indianapolis, Dick the Bruiser is wrestling, moreso than the WWE will ever be. He was a no nonsense wrestler and a savvy businessman who ran Indiana for decades, helping to launch the careers of hometown boys from Bobby Heenan to David Letterman. He's the reason promoters in Indiana enjoy more freedom than almost any other state. And now, his story has finally come to print.
Order your copy from Crowbar Press. Grab a cigar and a beer and enjoy the tale of one of wrestling's true, original bad boys.

CHIKARA Pro is off the hook
I read a lot about CHIKARA while I was writing Eat Sleep Wrestle. I watched a number of matches from past shows online. I even interviewed their fearless leader, Mike Quackenbush. Tonight I learned that you don't really know CHIKARA until you see them live, and when you do, you will become a true believer.
Unlike most major independent promotions, CHIKARA is not a star-driven show. Fans who are tuned in to the indie scene will recognize some names and faces, but it's the promotion itself that is the draw. CHIKARA bills itself as the super lucha fun party, and they deliver on fun from beginning to end.
That's not to say this is not a serious wrestling promotion. CHIKARA's roster is filled with talented high fliers and even a few brawlers. Blaster McMassive and Kentucky proud wrestler Chuck Taylor delivered a show stealing brawl right before the main event. But that's not the reason Chikara continues to add to its fan base in its 15th season.
CHIKARA gives you colorful characters in masks like Dasher Hatfield, Ophidian the Cobra, and the Proletariat Boar of Moldova. CHIKARA gives you heels who toss foreign objects (in this case, a cucumber) to kids in the crowd and later try to get it back from that kid so they can cheat to win. CHIKARA gives you characters like Freshly Squeezed Orange Cassidy, who laid down to take a nap during the opening bout. CHIKARA gives you a tag match, Arik Cannon and Darin Corbin vs. Lucas Calhoun and Missile Assault Man, that ends with almost five minutes of slow motion wrestling. This particular match was so much fun, the fans responded with a drawn out, slow motion "This… Is… Awesome…" chant.
CHIKARA is very fan interactive. No insult from the crowd goes unanswered by the heels. Just remember to keep it clean. CHIKARA is PG and kid friendly, and rule number one is no bad language from the wrestlers or fans.
CHIKARA does occasionally feature inter-gender wrestling, which may not sit well with some fans. That said, they currently have Heidi Lovelace on the roster. Heidi is an OVW graduate with a stellar resume who not only excels at inter-gender matches but truly seems to enjoy mixing it up with the boys.
CHIKARA doesn't travel extensively, and if you're lucky enough that they pay a visit, the ticket prices may seem a bit high. My ticket tonight was double what I normally pay for local shows, but it was worth it.
This was the first time CHIKARA has ever visited the Louisville area. Given the reactions from the sell out crowd, I doubt it will be their last visit. Check out their website at www.chikarapro,com to see their schedule of upcoming events and watch video online. Thanks to 2 Tuff Tony and the gang at the Arena in Jeffersonville for bringing the best in independent wrestling to town.

A new Hoosier promotion EMERGEs
Promoters and wrestlers in the state of Kentucky refer to Indiana as the "wild, wild west." You see in Kentucky, professional wrestling is heavily regulated by the state athletic commission, where in Indiana (thanks to Dick the Bruiser), pro wrestling is considered entertainment. Consequently, while you have only a handful of state-sanctioned promotions on one side of the Ohio River, you can find wrestling just about everywhere in the Hoosier state.
Columbus, Indiana is known for its world famous architecture, while nearby Seymour, Indiana is best known as the home to the world's first train robbers, the Reno Gang. Now, Dave Dynasty is hoping to put the area on the map in the growing independent wrestling scene.
EMERGE Wrestling opened its doors on January 10, 2015 in Seymour, Indiana with EMERGE1 where a tournament was held and "The Mastodon" JD Mariani was crowned the first ever EMERGE champion. Successive shows were been held monthly in Columbus, Indiana as well as Seymour, and most of those shows have been sell-outs, averaging 350-400 fans.
"EMERGE Wrestling is unique because we strive to be fresh and cutting edge," said promoter Dave Dynasty. "We promote a highly athletic and entertaining product with high production value and presentation. We strongly utilize social media and an online presence to promote our product and stay in constant contact with our fans.
The core roster includes the current EMERGE champion "The Main Attraction" Donny Idol, the current EMERGE Outbreak champion "Warfare" Jeremy Hadley, Ricky Ruckus, "The Mastodon" JD Mariani, Khris Kaliber, "Diamond Cut" Ace Perry, Joe Pittman, and "The Next Level of Entertainment" Owen Travers. "We also feature tag team regulars including the current EMERGE tag team champions B.A.D. and the 8bit Punks," adds Dynasty.
EMERGE is also attracting guest performers from across the Midwest, including "Poison" Appollo Starr, "Beautiful" Bret Havoc, and the tag team Team IOU. This September they're bringing in their biggest attraction yet when Donny Idol will defend his EMERGE championship against "The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels.
"Our goals for the future include containing to promote high quality events and increase our attendance," says Dynasty. He adds that EMERGE will soon enter the DVD and video on demand market and hopes to offer iPPV's and webshow in the future.
True to their mission, EMERGE is easy to find on the web on all social media platforms. And if you're in Seymour/Columbus area, about half way between Indianapolis, and Louisville, Kentucky, they'd love to have you stop in for a visit.

Lawrence is home to more than 100,000 people, and has a charming, Midwestern friendliness that welcomes visitors and celebrates diversity. In addition to KU, Lawrence is home to Haskell Indian Nations University, the premiere tribal university in the United States.
Lawrence's historic and thriving downtown features restaurants, nightlife and local shops offering unique finds that you won't find anywhere else. The town has more than 50 parks, an encompassing mixed-use trail, and quick access to biking/hiking trails along the Kansas River and around Clinton Lake. A five-minute drive from Lawrence, Clinton Lake offers fishing, boating, beaches, camping and other outdoor activities.
Located just 40 minutes west of Kansas City, Lawrence offers the appeal of a mid-size, suburban town with quick access to the amenities of a large city, including an international airport.

Making KU Your Home
Something about Lawrence is magnetic. Long-time residents are never surprised when a KU student or employee from out of state decides to make Lawrence their permanent home. And, even those who do leave often find themselves returning to "the nest" at some point in the future. In fact, Lawrence has been named by several publications as one of the best places to retire.
At the University of Kansas, you'll join a global Jayhawk family and find a place to call home.

Q: My 2 columns are stacking in Zurb. How can I display them side-by-side? I want to have two columns, however they seem to want to be stacked on top of each other.
I am using the latest download.
Why is the grid not gridding?
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/foundation.min.css">
    <link href='/assets/css/foundation-icons.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link href='/assets/css/jquery.dataTables.min.css' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/assets/css/app.css">

This is

not a love song

A: The complete zipped version of Foundation uses the new(ish) XY-Grid by default. The syntax is different than the Float Grid and Flex Grid, which are somewhat interchangeable. Most notably, with the XY-Grid, instead of "row", you use "grid-x" and instead of "column", you use "cell". If you want to use the float grid or the flex grid, you have to select that option before downloading the zip file from the download page. The grid options are near the top of the page. In the doc, the grids are explained in the "General" section. Flex Grid and XY-Grid have more limited browser support.

A: large-6  + 2px > 50%
so the boxes never will float. Give the a BG color or use outline insted of border.

A History of Thorneyfield
When we (Carole and Andrew) took on Thorneyfield Guest House we found this historical narrative about our new home on the old website and thought we'd share it with you.
If you know more about the history of Thorneyfield, please do get in touch.
As Thorneyfield dates back to Victorian times, we have been trying to discover some at some of its fascinating history. We were help in this by Canadian gentleman Mr Raymond Shirritt-Beaumont, whose family owned the house in the late 1800's and early 1900's.
This is what he was able to tell us about that use the house at that time and confirmed that it had been the same name for well over 100 years! Sadly we still don't know why it got the name though:
"Over 100 years ago my great-great-aunts, Ruth, Clara and Isa Beaumont had a thriving dressmaking business in Ambleside at Thorneyfield. In 1988, I interviewed a cousin, Jean Irthing Whiting, who was raised by the 'old aunts' after her mother (their sister Agnes) died in South Africa. Jean was able to describe the layout of the house in some detail, when she lived there circa 1900 to 1919. Here is a brief summary of what she told me. Aunt Ruth had a fitting room on the main floor at the front of the house. Behind that were two rooms, to which one gained access by a hall. One was a kitchen and the other utility room was some kind that had a gas stove in it, with a wash-basin in one corner that was heated by a wood fire underneath. Periodically, the laundress would come and do the laundry in that corner washer. This kitchen was used by the aunts for preparing their meals. Apparently, there was a landing at the front door, and a few steps up, off the stairs there was a bathroom and then the stairs continued up to the second floor.
"On the second floor, Clara and an assistant had a room facing the front street. This is where they made the skirts for the dresses and added pleats, embroidery, etc. This was a smaller room, but there was a larger room either behind or alongside that one that was supervised by Aunt Isa. Here they were between perhaps a dozen young women from the neighbouring districts who worked as seamstresses. (She must have been a taskmaster because my Aunt Alice Beaumont worked there as a girl, and she didn't like it at all!). Apparently, the girls arrived in the morning and enter the house by a side door into the basement where they changed into their working clothes. It was not clear just how they got to the second floor, but there was undoubtedly a flight of stairs up to the main floor connecting to the stairs going up to the second. At the back of the second floor was the private living room of the Beaumont sisters it overlooked the back garden. It was quite a good sized room. From it was a set of stairs that went up to the third floor, where there were three bedrooms. The smallest was reserved for Jean. Clara had the next bedroom, and Ruth and Isa shared the largest bedroom."
The only other source of information we have come from a land registry search which is uncovered the following:
"A conveyance of land in the title dated 30 May 1891 made between Robert Crewsdon and Thompson Harrison contains the following covenants:
"The said Thompson Harrison here by covenants with the said Robert Crewsdon that he will for ever hereafter keep in repair so much the land hereby conveyed to him and also that no steam engine or machine for sawing wood or stone shall be erected nor shall any noisesome noisy or offensive trade or occupation creating a nuisance be carried on upon any part of the said premises AND ALSO that no building be erected shall be higher than those forming any other portion of Compston Parrock(?) and that no such building shall be used or occupied as a licensed victuallers public house or beer shop."
We promised that we have kept to this and don't have a steam engine or a machine for cutting stone or wood nor do we have a beer shop we don't yet know who either Robert Crewsdon or Thompson Harrison are but would welcome any information on them and anything that might pre-date 1891.

As of mid 2007 the world has experienced rather sudden and adverse changes in the financial markets. These changes are referred to as the "Credit crisis", the "Liquidity crisis" or the "Financial crisis". Due to intense media exposure these terms have become common household words. However, only a few people who use these words actually understand what they mean. In this article I will attempt to explain the dynamics of the credit crisis in relative laymen's terms.
The article is divided into three sections. In the first section I will give some background information on banking. I will explain terms like "Liquidity" and "Funding". If you are a banker and familiar with balance sheet management you can probably skip this part. These terms should be clear to understand the second section, in which I will describe the dynamics of the current crisis. In the third section I will explain how this crisis came to be.
