In the late '80s and early '90s, punk band The Altar Boys were shaping the sound of Christian music. Just a few years later, the band had broken up and were out of the music scene altogether. But thanks to the rediscovery of some old recordings, The Altar Boys are making headlines again. We spoke to Mike Stand, the lead singer and songwriter for The Altar Boys, about the newly found and released album No Substitute.
CCM: Can you tell us about the circumstances around the original recording of these songs? What was the band up to?
CCM: Why were these songs not released in the early '90s?
Mike: In 1990, we presented No Substitute to our label Frontline Records, and they were really excited about it. At the same time, we tried to renegotiate our contract, but it was to no avail. We moved on from Frontline and sought out a few other labels, but they were only interested in signing me as a solo act—something I wasn't prepared to do.
In September of 1991, Mark abruptly moved to Nashville, and then Steve soon followed. It became apparent to Jeff and I that No Substitute wasn't meant to be. The group played its last gig on New Year's Eve 1992 and took a hiatus. I went on to form Clash of Sym-bols and Jeff went back to school.
In the late 90s and early 2000s, Steve, Jeff, Mark, and I did reunite and played a number of very successful gigs (including Cornerstone Festival in 2000 and 2002), but there was never any talk of reforming the Altar Boys or finishing No Substitute.
CCM: How did your "rediscovery" of these songs come about?
Mike: In March 2017 I began having severe vocal issues. Things went from bad to worse and I was diagnosed with a severe hemorrhage and growths on my vocal cords. I did all I could to try to fix the problem, but couldn't get any relief. Finally, on September 25, 2017, I had surgery that eventually remedied the issue.
CCM: How do you think the musical world has changed since No Substitute was recorded? Is the world ready for this?
CCM: What is the audience for a project like this? Longtime Christian rock fans or do you think a younger generation of fans can be reached?
CCM: What is the future for The Altar Boys?


Political workers threaten dire consequences to the people of Heirok on February 13 evening, if fails to attend grand reception programme of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh and Education Minister Th. Radheshyam. Reason both have succeeded in collapsing the Citizenship Amendment Bill, 2016 from passing at Rajya Sabha. Video record showed supporters of Education Minister Radheshyam roaming in the streets of Heirok using load speakers.
On the following day large number of BJP supporters organised a grand reception programme at Hatta Kangjeibung and celebrated on the Union government inability to present the Bill for passing at Rajya Sabha. After the Chairman of the Rajya Sabha adjourned the session sine die without making any chance to table the Bill, it become lapses and the worried face of all the entire people of North East States showed smile on their face. But as the people of Manipur as aware of government policy not all celebrated as there is a chances of passing ordinance of a similar act with that of the CAB. MANPAC and the PAM which has been spearheading the agitation against CAB had appealed to remain alert as they still have apprehension of passing it by the Union government using any means.
Well, from the time that anti- CAB protestors started talking about the probable impact that would give to the state of NE in general and Manipur in Particular, the BJP had always been defending saying that the Bill if converted in Act will not harm anything to the state of Manipur. Chief Minister N Biren Singh had stated that those talking about the Bill should go on and study the content of the Bill. His previous stand was that the Bill will give no impact in the state of Manipur as his government will urge the President of India to give assent to the Manipur Peoples' Bill passed by the State Assembly. Later as the movement against the CAB rises and as he felt that the situation might go out of his hand, he then said that he will urged the Union Government to insert a clause that will ensured to protect the state of Manipur.
When one goes through the content and the motive for introduction of the CAB, it is purely an electoral matter. BJP would have gain a lot of vote back in Northern India particularly at the Hindu heartland block. It does not matter whether the defeat in the Rajya Sabha, the tabling of the CAB is a win-win situation for the BJP.
They really have no interest for the North Eastern State as it has only 25 MPs. The 25 MPs can be neutralized by the MPs from West Bengal which have 42 numbers.
Manipur Burn or not BJP's agenda was to pass the Bill. As the Bill could not be even presented at the Rajya Sabha during the just concluded session it is a real set-back for the BJP leadership.
The difference is that the situation was taken as a political mileage without having a second thought to the Manipur Pradesh BJP members as they seem to forget that they are celebrating the defeat of their mother party.
Changes in politics of Manipur seem not far as every happening reaches to the leaders within a blink of eyes.


Dunno about you, but #QPAT never really did it for me. Okay, it's opaque and puzzling – a bit like Qatar itself – but what would have been wrong with #QPDLADT?
Well, it's long and unwieldy, and perhaps not right (check out French: given the profusion of definite articles, it's an inconclusive language). What about #Arc? Anyone use that? #Arc2017? Not many, by the looks of it.
Anyway, that's done. From one Q to another – Qipco, sponsor of the globe's most daredevil meeting, British Champions Day, destined one year, surely, to be completely washed out. But not so far.
It's interesting to revisit the old world (in your mind; time travel not yet available). Just imagine if 20 years ago someone had said to you, "Champions Day is going to be great – and what's more, there's free WiFi now at Ascot." You wouldn't have had a clue what they were on about. Champions Day hadn't even been invented.
Things have changed massively – and yet Ascot, founded 1711, is a constant, adopting the latest tech like a fresh pair of tailored shorts on ageing yet supple legs.
It's the track at the leading edge of beer and hashtags, its latest being the magnificent #AscotBeerFest. No, wait, that's done too. They've gone back to racing. Now it's #ChampionsDay. Got to like that. Nice and simple. A hashtag someone could have understood before Twitter (except the #, which would have foxed them – as would Champions Day). And it's popular.
Ascot (@Ascot) seems unconvinced though. At time of writing only one of its latest four tweets on the matter employed the hashtag. I'd count up further, but it would be pointless and time-consuming, like the road to the Super Bowl. The latest sample of anything – tweets, the road to the Super Bowl, cheese, you name it – is usually the best sample.
Sadly all the good free Twitter analytics tools have folded or have started insisting on posting tweets for you, which reminds me of that time the police handed me a three-page statement I hadn't written, ready for me to sign. Witness statement, btw.
Champions Day, if not the first, must be the biggest meeting to be launched in the online era and the organisation is switched on. The series itself might have fallen short of Game Of Thrones engagement levels, but the Day is a different matter.
The Day has been embraced. It's billed as 'Racing's Big Finale', which is not far off the mark, and says 'We Are Ready, Are You?' Not really – but at least it means something. None of that 'Feel The Passion' nonsense.
There are videos, although not all in the same place and not all on the Champions Series YouTube channel. You'll have to flit around their Twitter feed (@ChampionsSeries) and Great British Racing's (@GBRacing) to get most of it.
GBR edges it with some good material, including this.
And this, with that bloke. Chris Hughes. He's a star on the telly. Look out for the start, where he keeps talking even when his mouth closes. If that's not emblematic of something or other, what is?
Actually, he seems okay. Perhaps you should watch Love Island. It might be great. He certainly helps get you ready for Champions Day, although it's unlikely you'll be able to spend it "chillin' with Frankie".
BCS have been running videos of big events in 8-bit. Going by the number of views, you (yes, you) might not have known that.
It's good, although you might find yourself stabbing at the screen to try to play the game. But you can't. It's just a video. Or maybe I'm just not technologically aware.
For those who are already ready, BCS is offering to add a bit of stardust. To try to win a bottle of fizz and entry to the parade ring, share a pic of yourself and/or a friend preparing for the big day (and presumably holding your ticket) using the hashtag.
An unthorough search suggests there are no entries. There are two examples from the organisers, both of a dog holding a ticket. So if you get in fast you've got a great chance of scooping the prize and if you don't invite a dog you'll have a unique edge. Are dogs allowed anyway? Not really.
You might be ready for Champions Day but are you ready beyond it? Don't worry. It's all been mapped out by the "almost prophetic" Bill Gates. The future is most likely a deadly pathogen that could wipe out 33 million in a year. D'oh! Also, though, it's an enabling world of mobile banking in which the lives of the poor will be transformed. That must be only if they've got any money, which seems a flaw. But Gates reckons there won't be any poor countries by 2035, so there.
Most people would probably go less extreme than Bill and opt for the children, or the next generation – something like that. It's a topic oft-debated in racing, while the sport peddles the same product it has for the past few decades, altered only by peripheral changes like modified whip rules and digital boards.
Still, some of the next generation have been trying and a few months ago a Twitter account, Rein It In (@ReinItInRacing), popped up with a call for aspiring young racing journalists.
Then nothing happened and it disappeared for ages. Now it's back. It can be hard to distinguish between grassroots and astroturfing but this looks earthy enough. A few writers have appeared and there's an embryonic website.
It's early days and there's nothing there yet to concern Alastair Down, unless he'd be concerned that he's not 18 any more. But the spelling and grammar is pretty good and enthusiasm is evident. Even better, there's no self-consciously salty 'banter'.
Would-be writers can apply with a form on the Twitter feed. They want to know what days you are free, so it sounds like there's a rota. Write – but don't let the system steal your youth!
Is the home page where the heart is for racecourses?
Can racing really cause a stir on Twitter or is it all just internal affairs?

Ubaldesca Taccini (* 1136 in Calcinaia; † 28. Mai 1206 in Pisa) war eine italienische geweihte Jungfrau, die der geistlichen Gemeinschaft des Ordens vom Hospital des Heiligen Johannes zu Jerusalem angehörte. Sie wird in der römisch-katholischen Kirche als Heilige verehrt, ihr Gedenktag ist der 28. Mai.

Leben
Ubaldesca war die Tochter und das einzige Kind einer toskanischen Bauernfamilie. Im Alter von 15 Jahren trat sie in Pisa in den Konvent der Schwestern des Ordens vom Hospital des Heiligen Johannes zu Jerusalem, der Frauengemeinschaft des Johanniterordens ein, die dort ein Hospital unterhielt. Bis zu ihrem Tod blieb sie 55 Jahre lang in diesem Konvent, sie pflegte die Kranken, kümmerte sich um die Bedürftigen der Stadt und begleitete die Sterbenden.

Nach ihrem Tod wurde der Leichnam nach Calcinaia überführt, wo ihre Reliquien immer noch verehrt werden.

Ihr werden mehrere Wunder zugeschrieben, darunter eines zu ihren Lebzeiten, bei dem sie Wasser aus der Quelle der Kirche Santo Sepolcro in Wein verwandelt haben soll.

Nachwirkung

Ubaldesca Taccini gilt neben Bona von Pisa, Guido della Gherardesca und Rainerius als eine der Heiligen, die das spirituelle Leben Pisas im 12. und 13. Jahrhundert prägten.

Papst Sixtus V. gestattete 1587 ihre Verehrung. Im Malteserorden genoss sie hohe Verehrung, insbesondere durch den Großmeister Antoine de Paule, der ihr das Patrozinium der von ihm gestifteten Kirche St. Ubaldesca in Paola auf Malta widmete.

Three decades after she started it, Eileen Finley finds it astonishing her children's choir is as popular today as the day the group hit its first note.
That "wonderful organization" – a youth singing group that, over the years, has performed in 26 states, overseas and twice at Carnegie Hall in New York City – will delight visitors to Glencairn Museum in Bryn Athyn with an interactive concert March 11 at 4 p.m.
Founded in 1977, the nonprofit Pennsylvania Youth Chorale includes about 75 children from Bucks and Montgomery counties in its junior and senior-level choirs. The senior choir, comprising 42 members ages 10 to 15, will perform at Glencairn. The concert will feature a varied program including art music - music composed in a classical tradition and intended as serious art – and international folk songs.
The concert will be "very interactive," she said, with children in the audience invited to sing on stage with the youth chorale during the hour-long show.
The youth chorale's roots run deep. In 1976, Finley was a music teacher in Bucks County's Neshaminy School District and her children's choir participated in the high school's musical.
The school year ended and still there was great enthusiasm to continue Finley's youth singing group.
Admission to the March 11 concert is $10; $5 for museum members and students, and free for children 5 and younger. Glencairn Museum is located at 1001 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn.


Democratic congressional challengers have posted very impressive fund-raising tallies so far this year. In the last quarter, nearly three dozen Republican incumbents were outraised by at least one Democratic challenger — an astonishing number against sitting members of Congress. The breadth of Democratic fund-raising is also strong.
But there's an important pattern under the big numbers that will shape the battleground in the 2018 midterm elections. So far, nearly all of the biggest Democratic recruiting struggles have been in working-class areas. And Democrats might have too many challengers successfully fund-raising in the most affluent districts.
Democrats have debated extensively about whether they ought to focus on winning back working-class Trump voters or on expanding their gains in diverse, well-educated Sun Belt suburbs. This can be a false choice: They can do both to some extent, especially in congressional elections where individual candidates can run campaigns well suited to their districts. But Democrats, who need a net gain of 24 seats to retake the House, won't have the option to target districts they held as recently as a decade ago if they can't find viable challengers.
There is not yet a strong Democratic challenger in David Valadao's district (the 21st) in California's Central Valley, the nation's least-educated Republican-held congressional district (going by the percentage of those with a college degree). It broke for Hillary Clinton by 16 percentage points last November. There isn't a strong challenger in John Katko's upstate New York district (the 24th), where Barack Obama won easily in 2012 and where Mrs. Clinton won in 2016. These races remain rated as "likely Republican" by the Cook Political Report.
Democrats have notably failed to recruit a strong challenger against the Republican freshman Brian Fitzpatrick, who represents the blue-collar suburbs northeast of Philadelphia. Frank LoBiondo, a moderate 71-year-old, 12-term congressman from an Obama district in southern New Jersey, is the sort of candidate whom the Democrats might reasonably hope to pressure into retirement with a strong challenge. But he won't be feeling much pressure so long as his top opponent has a mere $9,486 in the bank.
Over all, there are 11 districts (out of the 50 districts that ought to be most competitive, by our estimates) where the Democrats don't have a candidate who raised $100,000. On average, those 11 districts are much less educated than the battlegrounds as a whole; just 31 percent of whites over age 25 have a degree. In comparison, whites with a degree represent 41 percent of the population in the other 39 districts that ought to be most competitive.
There is still plenty of time for Democrats to find candidates in those districts. And even in working-class areas, Democrats are doing far better at recruiting and fund-raising than in recent years. They have attracted strong recruits in many competitive working-class districts, like Maine's Second, New York's 21st and Illinois's 12th. Democrats even have well-funded challenges in a few working-class districts that weren't bound to be competitive at all, like Paul Ryan's district in Wisconsin, Kentucky's Sixth or Kansas' Second. And working-class districts are often in less expensive media markets, making it easier for Democrats to make a late bid.
The Democrats will clearly have the money to compete in expensive markets like Los Angeles and New York. They've posted staggering fund-raising totals in many of the best-educated districts, often outpacing longtime Republican congressmen. If anything, Democrats might have the opposite problem in these well-educated areas: too many viable candidates.
In Orange County, Calif., Democratic challengers have outraised Republican incumbents by a two-to-one margin this year, even though the Republicans got a head start before their Democratic challengers entered the race. But there's a catch: There are 15 Democratic candidates who have raised more than $100,000 in just those four districts, setting up a series of costly primaries that might ultimately prove detrimental to the party's general election chances. There's a similar pattern in well-educated districts across the country.
The abundance of Democratic challengers in these well-educated districts is a reflection of huge enthusiasm. In these areas, there's no shortage of well-to-do and well-connected political novices looking to "do something" about Mr. Trump's presidency, just as there was no shortage of well-educated Democrats lining up for the Jan. 21 Women's March or donating to the campaign of Jon Ossoff in Georgia's Sixth District special election.
Few established politicians are standing in the way of these political newcomers. The Democratic bench is quite weak in these traditionally Republican and often heavily gerrymandered areas. There are no obvious contenders strong enough to clear the field.
The enthusiasm among well-educated Democrats and the relative lack of success recruiting established politicians in working-class areas has occasionally led to an odd mismatch: affluent, liberal types running in working-class districts. Take Josh Harder, who worked for a San Francisco venture capital firm but is now running in California's typically competitive 10th District in the Central Valley, or ex-Obama administration officials like Elissa Slotkin, Lauren Baer and Andy Kim, who are running in middle-class districts in Michigan, Florida and New Jersey.
The good news for Democrats is that they don't need perfect recruits to pull off big wins if it's a so-called wave election year. Mr. Ossoff was a true political novice and still came close to winning, and the 2006 and 2010 wave midterm elections are full of examples of fairly weak recruits who pulled off important victories.
But the G.O.P. starts from a position of strength: The Democrats' path to a House majority is much more challenging than it was in 2006, or than it was for the Republicans in 2010. They can't afford to leave many districts like New York's 24th or California's 21st off the board.
An earlier version of this article misstated the competitiveness of a Democratic House challenger against Representative Jason Lewis in Minnesota. Angie Craig has a track record of successful fund-raising and will challenge Mr. Lewis in the 2018 midterms; Democrats did not fail to recruit a strong challenger in that race.


He is so adorable. Actually my rabbit Lala just celebrated his 5th birthday last week (https://sewbeading.wordpress.com/2014/10/15/piccadilly-sweater-skirt-liberty-jane/). Granted he wasn't too thrilled about getting brushed. Rabbits definitely have a big personality in a little package. Good luck bunny proofing the house.
He is gorgeous, and yey for saving him!


These days residential real estate developers often give streets random names to evoke pastoral visions—such as "Silver Creek Avenue" (even though there is not a precious metal or a stream within miles) or "Misty Meadow Boulevard" (even though there is no precipitation or grassland within miles)—or to support the equally random name of a subdivision (such as "Round Table Terrace" and "Lancelot Lane" in a subdivision named "Camelot Estates").
But in earlier times street names had some logic behind them. For example, streets often were named for a prominent person. Several north-south streets downtown from Henderson east to Jones were named for figures from Texas and American history. Likewise John Peter Smith, Daggett, Jarvis, and Hulen streets are self-explanatory. Lancaster Avenue is named for John L. Lancaster, whose Texas & Pacific railroad in the early 1930s transformed his namesake street with a new passenger terminal, a new freight terminal, and three new underpasses. Or streets were named for a destination. For example, Belknap Street led to Fort Belknap in Young County. Camp Bowie Boulevard led to . . . wait for it . . . Camp Bowie.
On the other hand, sometimes a subdivision developer or a sales agent gave himself a little immortality by naming a street after himself, as in Clarke and Bunting avenues in Hi Mount or Sargent Street in Beacon Hill or Bailey Avenue in William J. Bailey's Bailey addition on the near West Side.
And sometimes streets were named for the relatives of the developer. And so it was with five streets on the near South Side. They are named for the wife and five daughters of a man who didn't even live in Fort Worth but whose story is one of great triumph and tragedy in early Texas.
In 1949 the edition of the Star-Telegram celebrating the centennial of Fort Worth said that five streets were named for the wife and daughters of G. F. Alford: wife Annie and daughters Annie, Henrietta, Ruth, Hallie, and Linda. The newspaper pointed out that the names of Hattie and Leuda streets are corruptions of the names of Alford daughters Hallie and Linda.
Some history: Confederate General George Frederick Alford was the son of Colonel George G. Alford, who had fought under Winfield Scott in the War of 1812 and under Sam Houston in the Texas Revolution of 1836. George Frederick was born the next year in New Madrid, Missouri, but the family soon moved to Texas, and George spent his early childhood on Alford's Bluff, the family's plantation and steamboat landing on the Trinity River in Trinity County.
Alford's Bluff was 349 river miles upstream from Galveston but still 311 river miles from the northernmost landing at Lockridge's Bluff in Navarro County, which was another 226 river miles from Dallas.
In 1847, when George was ten, his parents died, and he returned to New Madrid to live with an aunt. But he soon became restless and ran away from home. According to Biographical History of Dallas County, for three years young George lived with "semi-savage Indian tribes of the far western lands," learning their ways. Then he struck out once again—on foot—traveling to the promised land of California, a trip that took six months. In the town of Shasta he was appointed deputy court clerk. In 1857, when he had saved enough money, he returned to New Madrid to marry Annie Maulsby, a former schoolmate. In 1859 the couple moved to Alford's Bluff on the Trinity River.
With money comes influence. In 1859 Alford was elected to the Texas Legislature.
Yes, George Frederick Alford knew great fortune. But he also knew great loss. George and Annie Maulsby Alford would have ten children. At least four of six daughters, including Georgie Barfield in 1862, would die before their fourth birthday.
After the Civil War began, Alford fought for the Confederacy, taking part in the Battle of Mansfield and the Battle of Pleasant Hill in Louisiana in 1864.
After the war Alford was again elected to the Texas Legislature in 1865. But soon afterward a flood of the Trinity River put his plantation under twelve feet of water, washing away most of his fortune.
In 1866 Alford resigned from the legislature and moved from Alford's Bluff to Galveston, where he remade his fortune in cotton, groceries, banking, and foreign exchange. He and William G. Veal, with whom Alford would develop Alford & Veal's addition in Fort Worth, were members of the Galveston Cotton Exchange.
In 1867 the first of the five sisters of the South Side died. Daughter Annie Mary Alford died in Galveston. She is buried in Old Galveston Cemetery.
Then came the financial panic of 1873—the same panic that delayed by three years the arrival of the railroad in Fort Worth. George Frederick Alford lost his second fortune.
The year 1873 brought another loss—emotional, not financial. The Alford infant who was stillborn in 1873 may have been daughter Mary George Alford, who, records show, was born and died that year. Of seventeen people listed in the Galveston weekly mortuary report, eleven were one year old or younger.
After the panic of 1873, by 1875 Alford found himself $400,000 ($8.7 million today) in debt.
But the year 1875 was not done. That year Alford suffered still another loss. Daughter Stella Ruth died in Galveston before her first birthday. She, too, is buried in Old Galveston Cemetery.
In 1877, with three children buried in the local cemetery, Alford moved his family from Galveston to Dallas, where he remade his second fortune in real estate, banking, and railroads in Texas and in silver and lead mining in Mexico. It took him nine years, but he repaid his debtors one hundred cents on the dollar.
Alford also was president of the Dallas, Archer and Pacific Railroad.
In 1903 the sixty-eighth birthday of the "well-known Texan" was news even in Kansas City.
Linda Alford Edmonson (Leuda Street) was the wife of Dr. Milton Edmonson. She is buried in Missouri, where her parents were born.
Hallie Alford Evans (Hattie Street) died in Minneapolis and is buried there.
I could find no biographical information on Henrietta Alford, the fifth of Alford & Veal's addition's five sisters of the South Side.

are you related to the general and annie?
they had a son allen born 1871 who was the first husband of my great aunt grace and father of their daughter grace allen was not a good man I figure that is why he is never mentioned in any family info served in san quentin and missouri state prisons for forgery!!! died st.louis,mo he never divorced my greataunt just left her and daughter and got on with life!! I have proof to all of this.but several times george his father is mentioned as civil war hero!!
No relation. I just blog about Fort Worth history. There is an Allen Street a few blocks south of these streets, but so far I have not found any part of Allen Street to be in Alford & Veal's addition.

Q: Elegantly set a single attribute of a Model used in a OneToOneField using a ModelForm I am able to update the height attribute of MyLittleModel using MyModelForm(OneToOneField(MyLittleModel)) as follows:
models.py
class MyLittleModel(models.Model):
    height = models.IntegerField()
    has_color = models.NullBooleanField(null=True, blank=True)

class MyModel(models.Model):
    my_little_model = models.OneToOneField(MyLittleModel)
    age = models.IntegerField()
    is_male = models.BooleanField(default=False)

forms.py
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    height = forms.IntegerField(max_length=30)

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ("height",
          "age")

views.py
class MyUpdateView(UpdateView):
    form_class = MyModelForm
    model = MyModel
    template_name = 'my_template.html'

    def form_valid(self, form):
        my_little_model = MyLittleModel.objects.create(form.cleaned_data["height"])
        form.instance.my_little_model = my_little_model
        form.instance.save()
        return super(MyUpdateView, self).form_valid(form)

    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse("my_list_view")

urls.py
urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(regex=r'^update/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', view=MyUpdateView.as_view(), name="my_update_view"),
)

I think this is not a good coding style because this forces you to modify your code in the ModelForm as well as in the View, it would be preferable that this would happen in only one location.
So is it possible to set a value to my_little_model.height without modifying my views code as I did?
Note: I don't like the title to this question, if someone has a suggestion for renaming it  into something more readable please let me know.

A: I would do this by overriding your MyModelForm's save method, like so:
class MyModelForm(forms.ModelForm):
    height = forms.CharField(max_length=30)

    class Meta:
        model = MyModel
        fields = ("height",
          "age")

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        my_little_model = MyLittleModel.objects.create(height=self.cleaned_data["height"])
        self.instance.my_little_model = my_little_model
        self.instance.save()
        return super(MyModelForm2, self).save(*args, **kwargs)

Then your view becomes:
class MyUpdateView(UpdateView):
    template_name = "my_template.html"
    form_class = MyModelForm
    model = MyModel

    def get_success_url(self):
        return reverse("my_list_view")

This way, all your logic for updating the model information lives in the form - if you want to change what's being updated, you can do it all in one place.

Onepageafrica reports that the command had in February made similar seizure of marijuana with a street value of N150 million, and a suspect arrested.
The Customs Area Comptroller (CAC), Mr Umar Yusuf showed newsmen round the seized goods during a joint inspection exercise by the Customs, Navy, and National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).
Other agencies on the exercise at the WMC base in Lagos were the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), State Security Service (SSS) and the Police.
Yusuf told newsmen that operatives of the command at Badagry, while on patrol of the creeks on Thursday at about 2a.m got intelligence report on the intended activity of smugglers in the area, and took action.
He said that while monitoring activities within Tanfi Island, the team found a heap of 26 jumbo bales of the contraband packed at the habour and meant to be smuggled into Nigeria.
He disclosed that each jumbo bale contained about 100 smaller packs valued at N20, 000 each, while the total number weighed 3750kg.
The CAC told newsmen that the customs operatives had to request for support from the Nigerian Navy operations team at Badagry, due to their experience in marine environment.
He said that with the reinforcement from the Navy immediately, the joint team mobilized, confiscated the smuggled goods and moved them to the Customs Western Marine jetty in Ibafon.
The Area Controller said that although no suspect was apprehended, a motorcycle with Lagos State registration number was found at the scene.
Also speaking, Navy Capt. Simon Dogo, the Commanding Officer, Forward Operating Base Badagry, commended the growing synergy between the Navy and Nigeria Customs Service, noting that the collaboration has been yielding results.
He said: "The synergy is getting stronger. Our Armed Forces Act mandates us to coordinate the enforcement of Customs Laws.

Redknapp: if only he'd tried to be Spurs
I didn't think I needed to vent; I thought I'd said it all in this letter back in April. Turns out I hadn't, so here goes.
If he'd toed the party line, he'd still be manager.
If he hadn't flirted with the England job, and if he hadn't tried to conduct contract negotiations in public, he'd still be manager.
But that is Harry – if he thinks he can improve his own position by talking to his friends in the press, he'll do it – without caring about whether it brings the club into disrepute, or makes the chairman look daft.
At the end of March, when Redknapp was being asked about the England job (on a weekly basis) he said:
"They [the players] don't care whether I'm the manager next year. They wouldn't lose any sleep over that. That's football.
Footballers play the game, they come in every day and train. Someone else walks in here tomorrow – the king is dead long live the king! They don't worry. They don't think 'Harry is going to England' or 'he is going to go somewhere else'.
Fast-forward to June, and he seemed to have had a total turn-around:
"If they [the club] don't extend it [his contract] and I go into my last year, it is not an easy one when players know you have only got a year left.
It is not a case of me looking for security. What it is about is players knowing you have only got year left on your contract and knowing that it doesn't work, basically. I think it's a situation of, 'well, he might not be here next year'."
This just about sums the man up; he's hinting at his own players leaving – weakening our bargaining position, putting thoughts in players mind – in order to push the board into offering him a longer contract.
And it is because of these sorts of comments, I'm almost sure, that he is no longer manager.
His record largely speaks for itself – two top four finishes, Champions League football; we've "never had it so good" ("…and if you know your history…") – but his short-term approach to achieve these finishes does leave a somewhat sour taste.
Bringing in the likes of Friedel, Gallas, Parker, Nelsen, Saha – all ageing players – plus Adebayor only on loan, means that we have another summer of rebuilding ahead of us and would have done even if he'd still been there. He has marginalised a large section of the squad, leaving them ready to quit the club (or already having quit in Kranjcar's case), and meaning that we have a core of 12-15 players who will realistically be considered for selection next season.
Congratulations to Redknapp for some wonderful football during his tenure. Congratulations for the run of league finishes. Congratulations on bringing Champions League football to the Lane – it was great.
But you never really had me feeling involved – I never felt like you were one of us, or even wanted to be. I don't know whether it was the fact that you commuted all that way because you couldn't leave Sandbanks. I don't know whether it was the fact that you referred to us (the lifeblood of the club) as "them", whether it was calling fans who phoned TalkSport "idiots", or whether it was the "they've never had it so good" line. Some will miss you because of the relative success that you brought, but to me supporting a club is about a lot more than achieving 4th place finishes, and for that reason I'm not crying.
Anonymous14th June 2012 at 07:56
Good piece Windy, and also lets not forget that the club supported him all through his tax trials as well, and that is the thanks we get!

George Dearsley14th June 2012 at 08:00
Thoughtful and well argued piece Windy. But personally I'm a better-the-devil-you-know man. We binned Jol and made a big mistake. I think players DO like certainty and longevity. I'd have given Harry three more years. Unless Daniel has a replacement lined up (Martinez?)it's hard to see this move as anything but a reaction to the awful disappointment of missing out on a CL place, albeit by a quirk of the rules.
Can totally appreciate that PoV, George.
I know a lot of fans want success at any costs - probably the same fans who wouldn't complain if we were bought out by an oligarch - but it seems like you're somewhere in the middle.
Personally I'd rather feel a part of the club that's all pulling together in the same direction but finishes 5th or 6th than one with a manager who couldn't care less about the traditions and history or the fans but will deliver decent league finishes.
Torleiv14th June 2012 at 08:11
Good piece Windy. It's clear for everyone that he wasn't sacked because of results, which have been very good for the most part. Even so there was always a sense of short-sightedness in his tenure, despite great football and good results he never had me convinced regarding a long term vision for the club. It was all a bit stop gap living in the moment with 'Arry and that's why his relationship with Levy, a meticolous planner, never quite worked out.
Torleiv - totally agree with your summary. Imagine there was a massive clash of personalities between Levy/Redknapp.
I agree with all of that, just hope Levy has a better rabbit up his sleeve than Moyes or Martinez otherwise I'd have stuck with Harry warts and all.
Thanks for the good times Harry, but I won't miss your media-whore personality. If only you'd been intelligent enough to keep your head down and your mouth shut.
Cheers for the comment - agree with your last para. I think Moyes deserves a club where he has cash, think he could be a decent appointment actually.
Gagan14th June 2012 at 08:24
Spot on Windy. He was always pessimistic when it came to Spurs but sounded so optimistic when it came to England in Euro 2012. Remember all those stupid statements like 'we have no divine right to finish 4th and all that jazz'. All his friends in the media are in mourning today. One look at twitter and you'll feel someone has passed away
That's a great point re: pessimism. Some of the key print journalists were shameful today.
Unknown14th June 2012 at 08:27
Well said Windy, I actually posted on COYS almost identical comments regarding the players not being affected when he was talking about England, but being affected when he was trying to get a contract. He has done a good job, for which I thank him, but I am also relieved now that he has gone and hope that we can get a manager who is 'Spurs' in image and playing style.
I agree with you about him never feeling like one of us and having been a supporter for over 50 years now, I half resented his references to 'them'. Love your work mate and particularly enjoy your bits on the loanees. Cheers for all.
Thanks very much for the comment, really appreciate it. The contract/players thing was such blatant hypocrisy and yet the press seemed to totally ignore it; frustrating.
This has been in the offering for some time,some of Arry's decisions on and off the pitch were damn right confusing in anyones books,Arry cost us 3rd place and he knows it
there are too many examples to name and that is not just this season but last season as well!
I'm happy that Arry has gone I just hope Levy gives the new man (Pep) a war chest so we can build on what we have got
Shelf SideYid
I agree, and I didn't even go into his failure to see us home to 3rd, mate. Lots of other issues, but I feel the media whoring is what eventually got him the chop.
The short termism is the thing that tilts the balance for me. Parker and Friedel I could accept because they made a clear and instant improvement to the first XI. But Nelsen and Saha? And his failure to get any sort of value from Pienaar was really highlighted by his form for Everton. We will be doomed to for ever wonder what might have been if one or two players of quality had been added in January (or even not allowed to leave). Oh for a Papisse Cisse...
We really did need that boost of a classy player coming in in Jan, I think.
Being a Spurs lover didn't save Jol. For better or worse Levy removes the emotion from his thinking and its purely down to Harry losing that lead and not getting CL football.
Probably right, but I don't think Redknapp's inappropriate relationship with the media helped.
Michael Nelson14th June 2012 at 20:16
I think that if it was simply for not getting into the CL or securing 3rd he would have been sacked weeks ago. I believe he had been offered a new contract months ago but didn't want to sign because of the England possibility. I really don't think he has anyone but himself to blame. Either way, him always talking to the media about everything was never going to help him in this situation.
I think Levy would have put up with the slump from 3rd to 4th if everything was perfect off the pitch. Teamed with his constant self-serving chat, it was deemed too much methinks.
In any other industry, if a person under contract makes it known to his employers that he was showing interest in another job, he or she would probably be instantly dismissed. Redknapp has only himself to blame for his downfall and he has paid the price for declaring his interest in another job, and costing his employers millions of pounds in revenue through our failure to qualify for the CL. Lets hope
that someone comes in who has an idea what to do when things go wrong on the football pitch. He was very lucky to have managed our fabulous football club. Come on you Spurs.
Spot on. COYS!
Cushty14th June 2012 at 08:38
Good article Windy, just about sums up hidden thoughts behind the modern day football club. Gone are the days when fans bled the teams colours (any team)it's now down to money. Gone are the days of loyalty from anybody involved with a football club including supporters. Mostly the fans are still loyal but the majority are only loyal when the money is spent like Man. City & Chelsea. Players are just mercenaries & go where the pay is better. Jimmy Greaves asked Bill Nicholson for a pay rise only for Bill to say "do you think you deserve one, your well paid now. Go & do what your payed for & score goals. Jimmy left his office & history speaks for itself. Now players just think of themselves & their wallet, they are all overpaid for what they do. Kicking a bag of wind around! When they reitre they just don't think of hetting a normal everyday job like the fans who have spent good, hard earned money to follow their team. The average way of working people is around 25 to 30 thousand a year NOT £100,000 + per week. Will be interesting to see who comes in next & lets hope they can build on & improve a team that was on the verge.
Thought-provoking stuff mate, and I agree with you. Rather depressing, though!
Sam-I-Am14th June 2012 at 08:42
Spot on, Windy. I too believe it's the way he behaved that got him fired rather than the football. That said, his naivety, crudeness and lack of tactical nous was a common thread in his pronouncements, his unsavoury attempts at contract extension and ultimately his football and team management.
Totally with you on the extras that I didn't mention.
Skizt14th June 2012 at 09:25
Right as always Windy. He brought his own downfall. Not sad to see him go, but will remember the good moments fondly. Hoping for Martinez personally.
I like Martinez but not convinced on his ability to organise a defence...
lesta14th June 2012 at 09:25
Very well written mate and spot on...was never in it with his heart and was ready to jump ship if England came knocking...was always about him and always will be so good luck and god bless u Harry...just hope he doesn't come out with too much rubbish in the press and goes with dignity
Appreciate it, cheers. Agree with the England stuff - he can't feel hard done by after the way he behaved.
Faucv14th June 2012 at 09:47
For me it was not the collapse in the Arsenal game, the loss to Stoke or the loss to ManC that made it clear that Harry had lost his focus, it was the Aston Villa game where he simply appeared to be content with a draw. His two-faced communication post-season just proves that Spurs was not in his long-term plans, so why should he be in ours?
Interesting thought that re: Villa. I personally think we should have secured 3rd by then but, even with 10 men, Villa did seem there for the taking.
bonse14th June 2012 at 10:38
I think the real problem is who is going to leave with him or be replaced by the new manager, and I don't necessarily mean players. While alot of the familiar faces are interchangeable for my liking there are many lower profile characters that have had a significant effect on our improvement fundamentally, especially in the youth developement side.
Inglethorpe, Ebleton and Mcdermott for example have given us a system of developement and integration that should rival our competitors, I would hope this remained intact. How long is it since we had a kid that came into the first team and looked like staying? We've had kids with the quality, but always lacking that extra little bit, when was the last one? king? carr? Lennon was an in at the deep end test and thats before we exclude players we didnt develop pre16. I may be missing someone obvious, but more to the point we now have something that looks like a sustainable production line
I really don't think you have to worry about JMcD or AI leaving as a result of HR being sacked. Tim Sherwood as an outside possibility - if he doesn't see his reserves/development squad going anywhere, but the Academy coaches have all been through changes of management before and I'd suggest that a lot of the work they do is far more progressive than that of the first team. Arguably there is good logical reason for this to be the case, but they would have been more affected by the departure of say Ricardo Moniz, Frank Arnesen or in terms of philosophy Juande Ramos.
While I tend to agree with this, it really has only been the last 3 years that we started getting the last step right. Not the developing of young talent, but the actual getting them into the team in a sensible way via careful selection of loans etc
I'd say that we've been on the right track for a bit over 3 years, but are only now starting to reap the benefit.
I don't think we need to worry about JM or AI leaving, though...
James Griffiths14th June 2012 at 10:39
I can't believe these comments, I mean really? Surely the most important thing is winning games as a manager. He wins games! More than any other manager we've had in years. So what if he was interested in the England job, his dream job came up, he was interested, he didn't get it, he could have just carried on now. We don't deserve success with supporters like this. Harry brought you all champions league football, some of the best football we've ever seen and played the 'spurs' way. But all you can remember is the last few months of the season (where we still finished 4th!).I hope your all happy when were mid table next season playing boring football under Moyes, but at least Moyes dose not talk to the media hey boys.
From his PoV, yes, the main job is winning games. But he also has a responsibility to respect the values of his bosses and traditions of the club. Every time he said something inappropriate in a press conference, Levy must have been wincing.
Like I say in the article, supporting a football club isn't just about success/failure - it's so much more.
It is his job to win games, but what was he doing then when we were comfortably in 3rd? Granted, finishing 4th is nice but not after being in the position we were in. 4th means nothing. All it means is that you (usually) have to chance to qualify for the CL. I thank Harry for what he did at Tottenham and I enjoyed the way the team played but I did not enjoy him.
Bob14th June 2012 at 10:49
100% Windy
Cheers Bob!
Very well written piece Windy and I completely agree with you. He has done a good job but I just don't like him. I am sick and tired of his verbal diarrhea and it is no surprise that was eventually his downfall. His comments last week were a disgrace and only went to re-emphasize just how self-serving a man he is. At best he was just talking crap to get himself a better contract; at worst he was admitting that the reason we lost that massive lead was down to his public flirtation with the England job.
Totally agree with you, and appreciate the comment - thanks!
The Vodka Yeti14th June 2012 at 11:18
I don't care that Harry wasn't one of us, or that he's a media darling. We've had three seasons of 4th, 5th, 4th, and with our limited resources that's an excellent achievement.
Of course he blew it when we were at 3rd spot but it's not his fault that Chelsea won the CL is it?
Some Spurs fans have no patience and want short-term solutions to everything. And that could be our downfall.
Good luck to our new manager, because if he doesn't get at least a top four spot or silverware next season, another witch hunt from impatient, deluded and unrealistic fans will begin!
Thanks for the many great memories Harry. Some of us will miss you.
I want the opposite - I want a long-term solution, which I personally don't think Harry was.
I would be happy to appoint a long-term manager and would take a couple of years of finishing lower whilst he gets to grips with the task at hand.
I blame John Terry,Redknapp's head was turned the moment Capello walked.That was the turning point of our season,and it kick started with Chelsea's Mr wonderful.
I appreciate all that Harry has done for us,but as someone has highlighted in a previous post,Redknapp is a media whore who doesn't know when to keep quiet. This has only added to his downfall in my opinion.
Redknapp needed to forget about England until the season was over, but he kept answering the questions as he wanted to keep the FA's mouth watering.

Well written as always, Windy, and you are of course spot on.
I was there, singing "Harry Redknapp - we want you to stay" with the rest at the Newcastle-game in february. I wasn't sure then, but thought it be better if he stayed untill the end of the season, than to have the whole upheaval midseason, with no transfer window to support the new manager for the first 6 months.
If only I had known then what I do now... Our abysmal run from the mentioned Newcastle-game untill the end of the season could not have been worse either way. We could have had a donkey at the helm, and still manage the same points tally.
Add to that, both the "young and exciting" replacement managers have now been snapped up by Liverpool and Villa. Unless Levy's got Pep Guardiola in his sleeve, that probably mean we're left with a choice between Moyes or Martinez. How would Bale, Modric, VdV and our other high-profile players take that?
We're do or die now. Levy MUST get this next appointment right. More than anything, Redknapps replacement will be a statement to our players that we're serious, we mean business. I'm afraid that if we go for Martinez (or even Moyes), we'll be signaling to our current squad (let alone transfer targets) that we're content to be a "second tier" club in the Premier League. That would certainly mean a farewell to Modric and Bale, and possibly also VdV.
Now, if Levy does have a world class replacement lined up (a certain Mr. Capello, a certain Mr. Guardiola, or a certain mr. Mourinho) we could very well retain the services of all our high profiles, and to build on what we did achieve last season, which was at times stunning football, brilliant attacking and flowing, and perhaps in time challenge for honours.
Get it wrong, and we're back in mid-table obscurity before you can say balaclavasareveryhotinthedesert!
Junior19 - cracking stuff. Although I'm not sure about Moyes, he definitely has something about him...
Sorry, although nicely written, this piece is sentimental tosh.
Does Bale, Modric and Adebayor make you feel they are one of us? That they've got Spurs running through their blood and that their love for the club far outweighs the disappointment of not reaching the CL or the relative paucity of EPL wages paid by the club compared with the new money in the game? Of course not.
We need to wake up and stop deluding ourselves:
1. Harry was brought in at a time of crisis and he succeeded. Since then, he did what he's always done, and bought tried and tested (ageing) players who helped us climb up the table while Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all wobbled at the same time. Arsenal and Chelsea recovered, and Spurs - deluded by the press and by us fans running away with ourselves - declined. And embarrassingly so.
2. Then England (never came) calling. And Arry (I ain't no f*****g wheeler-dealer, I can't read or write) Redknapp made everything worse. He has since admitted he would have left Spurs at the end of the season for England, and listening to his tactical analysis again and his punditry over the Euros, thank f**k for England he wasn't offered the job.
3. What is 'the Spurs' way'? What is 'I never felt he was one of us'? Every club up and down the country wants loyalty from players and a set of family-like principles to which their fans can aspire?
If we want to seriously take the club to the next level, let's get a decent stadium to generate the revenue to buy a better squad and increase our commercial advantage abroad by taking B teams littered with a couple of stars to Asia, Africa, the Far East. Let's pay for better transport links, because TFL ain't gonna do it. And let's start building from first principles: a long-term manager that nourishes academy youth into Spurs men.
Whoever comes in next season. Expect more of the same, if you're lucky. But we're 10 years behind the true Top 4 and the Arse, and with Levy and Lewis (rather than a pluralistic board) holding the purse-strings, it will be more pacifying and soul-searching next year, while we struggle to maintain a campaign for an entire season.
You're right Windy that Harry had to go, but the reasons why are far deeper than your blog suggests.
Thanks for the comment, pal.
Re point 1 - don't disagree with any of that until you get to "deluded by the press and by us fans running away with ourselves" - you think that was the reason we failed to get 3rd? For me, it's all on Redknapp - be it court case, England, tactical errors, lack of rotation or otherwise.
Re point 2: agree.
Re: point 3: 'I never felt he was one of us' - he made little effort to get to know the traditions of the club or to empathise with our fans, which was a real shame.
Spurs you never fail to amaze me, I have been a life long Spurs Fan ever since i could first understand what football was all about. Over the years my understanding on that has changed. Its no longer a game were eleven guys on each side try to out play and score more goals than the other side. Its now all about Business and the 90 minute part on the pitch is a very small of what the clubs are all about. Spurs again have proved that to me today. Why do you sack a manager who has got you playing the best football seen at the lane for years, They did the same with Martin Jol and to a point Terry Venables. I'm sorry if i'm missing things here but i just don't get it. What makes it worse is the so called Spurs fans who are now shouting off their mouths saying its the best thing for the club and calling him all sorts of foul names. The same guys who when we had a fantastic run in the champions league were calling him a God. FOR FUCK SAKE I JUST DON"T GET IT
"Its now all about Business and the 90 minute part on the pitch is a very small of what the clubs are all about."
- Isn't it just, and how depressing.
Agree that Redknapp has achieved some good things, but his lack of respect for the club, the fans, and his boss has been unpleasant to say the least.
Just glad Levy made the decision after Chelsea had announced RDM. Not sure where Harry will end up, not sure I care.
Qatar?
Good Work Windy. You've pretty much summed it all up for me. There was a piece in Football365 where it said "You can afford to mouth off at a reasonably small club like Portsmouth, but not at Spurs. Not when your chairman is a fairly ruthless businessman."
Arry's hype will get him another job, but he'll never manage a bigger club then Spurs.
If you think Parker is too 'ageing' for Spurs, we'll have him. He gives his heart and soul every single match for Spurs and for England. You don't deserve him.
Don't get me wrong, no problem with signing Parker, but he needed to be teamed with long-term signings.
Darren Jackson14th June 2012 at 20:50
I think Levey made the decision at least year ago, thats why no real money has been spent. I think DL was planning to give the next guy in a 'war chest' to spend and was banking on a) us having CL football and b) arry either banged up or in the England job. Im surprised the relationship between the 2 lasted so long, especially after the Mordric saga last season, with arry trying almost get Modric to go or up his wages, whilst DL was pulling in the other direction.
Unfortunately getting CL football backfired, which may have kiboshed any pre-arranged agreements with his planned next man in. But I really think Levey is very shrewd and will have a plan up his sleeve, hes not a gambeler and I can see him not having the next man sorted before outing Redknapp.
Trust Levey, right now I think hes is more important to us than Redknapp or Modric for that matter. @darrenjackson75
You could be right Darren that the decision was made some time ago. I personally think in an ideal world we'd have stuck with him, but his comments on top of not getting 3rd left Levy with little choice.
turkster14th June 2012 at 22:58
Good piece windy/ I have been saying for the last 6 months that harry had taken us as far as he could dont get me wrong i wish him all the best and appreciate what he did for us but i am not sorry to see him go, as long as mr levy has something planned for the future what about the fabio rumours any one else heard anything
AVB seems to be the firm favourite, mate, and I would personally be quite happy with that. What do you think?
The boy done good and being a spurs fan since my dads dad was a young boy I will miss him. His head was turned by the England post and I respect that as he would of had the lads in the national team playing out of their skin. But alas being the gobby mouth that Harry is he walks away with the memories. I really wanna know what the players think even if it is just hear say. And if Harry had of got three more years and won a title then I think this article would of had a different tone to it.
Don't hate Harry he is a product of modern football.
The only people at the club which are spurs are the supporters, not the players( bar ledly) manager or chairmen.
To them it is buissiness not a passion.
The only interests that were considered during this decision were that of David and his faceless men.

Here's my views from an Arsenal fan's perspective http://theubiquitousmind.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/spurs-back-on-decline-as-redknapp-is.html
Windy21st June 2012 at 16:00
Very nicely written piece, Manu, but you're only coming from the "league success is everything" PoV.
Aside from the fact that I do genuinely think that a better tactician could take us further than Redknapp over the next 5 years (although probably not over the next 2), there are so many "off-pitch" downsides to Redknapp, as I tried to outline.
Manu Lee25th June 2012 at 21:59
Yer I agree that he perhaps didn't have enough personal attachment to the club which is of course extremely important but that doesn't just come instantly had he stayed longer he might have developed more of personal attachment. In terms of success I just think it was a terrible decision to sack him. However, now that is is done I would suggest someone like Moyes or Martinez as a replacement.
Anonymous1st July 2012 at 17:44
I love the way that those that wanted Redknapp gone, now spend their entire time trying to downgrade what our expectations should be.
The bottom line is this; if we don't get a top 4 finish next season, we will once again under Levy be going backwards. It's been the pattern of ENIC's ownership since day 1. What amuses me is how few Spurs fans can see through the facade and understand how his financial control over the last two seasons has shaped the position we are now in.
A lessor manager would have failed far sooner under those financial conditions.
Windy1st July 2012 at 18:48
Maybe downgrading expectations because a new manager will take time to settle? Seems acceptable to me.
Personally think you have to focus on medium to long term rather than short term (something Redknapp failed to do). AVB will have more chance of taking Spurs to "the next level" than Redknapp IMO, but that's pretty much missing the point of my article.
So much more to being a Spurs fan than 4th plae finishes IMO.
Anonymous2nd July 2012 at 15:41
Downgrading expectations is pretty ironic when you consider that not being in the CL this new season is one of the sticks used to beat Redknapp with.
As for failing to focus on the medium to long term, the reality is completely the opposite, just witness Harry Kanes commments in respect of how much redknap helped him. It's a shame that once again a throw away line such as that isn't properly examined in light of our complete lack of spending for the past two seasons and more importantly the failure by our Chairmen to do the deals for new players that he told Redknapp were within in his reach, which he subsequently failed to conclude a single one of.
Anonymous9th July 2012 at 02:59
That guy with only a brain cell that call himself a manager only had himself in his mind. He thought he got the England job and yet it was his mates in the media that wanted him as England manager. Now that he is sacked, he would'nt keep his mouth shut. This is the nature of the twat that is Redknob.

The Delhi High court on December 19 held that reimbursement of medical expenses of the Supreme Court Judges (whether serving or retired) has been exempted from the Right to Information (RTI) Act 2005.
The court said that this information does not serve any public interest and Central Information Commission (CIC) was in error to direct Central Public Information Officer of Supreme Court (CPIO) to record the reimbursement of medical bills of the Supreme Court Judges separately for each Judge to ensure that the summary of the expenses for each judges are available separately overlooking that medical bills can lead to the disclosure of the disease which is invasion of once privacy and personal information.
On 25.10.2010 Subhash Chandra Agarwal had filed an application under RTI Act asking about the details of the expenses of last three years spent on RTI the individual Judges (including of their family member) on Private treatment in India or abroad.
This application was transferred to the CPIO under Section 6(3) of the Act and CIPO rejected the application on the ground that personal information is exempted from disclosure under Section 8 (1) (j) of the Act.
In 2007 the respondent appealed before CIC challenging order of the FFA and CIC directed CPIO to provide with the information.
Currently the Court held that information relating to the medical records would be personal information therefore it is exempt from the disclosure under Section (1) (j) of the Act. The medical bills would eventually indicate the treatment and/or medicines required by individuals and this would clearly invasion of the privacy.

Turkish workers establish solidarity network against the crisis and the capitalists
The Communist Party of Turkey (TKP) has inaugurated the solidarity, struggle and communication network of workers against the crisis and the capitalists, soL news portal reports.
In its appeal, "the TKP will welcome those who wish to have access to this network at its buildings, clubhouses and representative agencies," the party said.
"We will join our forces. We will not bow down to the bosses. We will clamp down on the exploiters. Those who suppose that workers are all alone should know that we will breathe down bosses' neck."
A press conference held in Istanbul on October 13, where Alpaslan Savaş, a member of the CC of TKP, informed the press about the workings of the network during the press conference in which workers from various sectors expressed their ideas.
SOLIDARITY AGAINST CRISIS AND CAPITALISTS
Savaş noted in his speech that all the workers are under pressure due to the economic crisis that also has political dimensions, adding that hundreds of workers have lost their jobs since the burden of the crisis is being laid on their shoulders.
Despite the demagogy that the bosses and the workers are in the same boat, the bosses keep winning while the workers lose during the crisis, said Savaş.
Millions of people cannot meet their basic needs if they don't have a wage even for a single month and the workers fighting for life have to get organised, he added.
Savaş also added that the "anti-inflation program" announced by Berat Albayrak, the Minister of Treasury and Finance, was prepared in favour of the bosses, considering that millions of Turkish Liras would be transferred to the bosses through incentives.
Savaş noted that the profiteers of the economic crisis highly benefitted from the fluctuations of exchange rates during the release process of American pastor Andrew Brunson whose detainment in Turkey had led to a crisis between Ankara and Washington.
'THE WORKERS NEED TO HAVE THEIR OWN PLANS'
Saying the workers need to have their own plans just like the capitalists who act together during the crisis, Savaş noted that the network is mainly to disclose the violation of rights and committees will be formed at work places to fight against oppression. A group of lawyers will also be part of the solidarity network.
CARGILL WORKER: 'A LOT CAN HAPPEN IF WORKERS UNITE'
A worker named Abdullah from Cargill factory in Bursa talked about their experiences of struggle on its 180th day. He told that Cargill company was against the unionisation of the workers and they were fired under the pretext of economic crisis.
Detailing how the workers fired from the US-based sugar company Cargill commenced on a march from Bursa to the headquarters of the company in İstanbul in September, Abdullah noted that a lot can happen if the workers unite and that's why they will be part of the solidarity network.
TEXTILE WORKER: 'THE OFF BUTTONS OF THE MACHINES ARE IN YOUR HANDS'
Textile worker Fatma said that the textile sector is mainly composed of women, migrants and children who toil under extremely hard conditions.
Expressing that she will be supporting the solidarity network, Fatma added: "The off buttons of the machines are in your hands; you can turn them off and on whenever you want."
PLAZA WORKER: 'WE ARE AS WELL PART OF THE WORKING CLASS'
Noting that white-collar workers are as well part of the working class, Esin said that mobbing is a tool at the hand of the bosses in plazas and offices, leading various plaza workers to psychological depression.
Supporting the words of the textile workers, she said: "The power button of the computers are at our hands too, we can also turn them off."
She reminded that one of Turkey's biggest corporate groups Zorlu Holding already banned access to the website of the solidarity network in its offices and she read the solidarity message of Zorlu Holding workers at the press conference. The message said Zorlu Holding ranks first as in anti-labour policies, denying the most essential demands of the workers while recording a turnover of billions of Turkish Liras.
Press Conference of the solidarity, struggle and communication network in Istanbul, Oct.13, 2018.
BANK WORKER: 'WE ARE NOT STRONG ALONE'
A bank worker, who had been fired from the call centre department of Odeabank, said that getting organised was necessary during the economic crisis. "We're not strong when we are alone," she said, adding that the bosses could abuse the unorganised workers. She said that "We will breath down bosses' neck" would provide a planned work for solidarity and struggle against the bosses.
METAL WORKER: WORKERS FORCED TO PAY THE PRICE OF CRISIS
Indicating to the previous crises in 2001 and 2008-2009, metal worker Yılmaz said that the bosses were forcing the working class to pay the price of the crisis again, adding that they began to dismiss the workers. He said that it was not certain whether some workers could receive their dues since Ford would not produce trucks for three weeks in Turkey, and called on the workers to act in solidarity and contact.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF TEACHERS ARE NOT EMPLOYED AS PAYROLL EDUCATORS
Cihan, a candidate teacher, said that hundreds of thousands of teachers were sharing the same fate in Turkey, adding that thousands of teachers were forced to work not as payroll employees but as paid labourers. Despite the need for payroll teachers in several branches around the country, the Turkish government does not prefer appointing them as payroll teachers, but employs them with short-term contracts for less wages and occupational rights.
Stating that he had to find a job in a different sector, he also said that school principals in Turkey were acting like bosses, and called on everyone to participate in this solidarity network.
JANITOR: 'WE'RE NOT IN THE SAME BOAT'
Participating in the meeting on behalf of the janitors, Alican Kayhan, the chair of a trade union, said that the janitors were forced to work nonstop with irregular working hours. He said that the workers need to get organised, adding that they had been organised around a trade union for 20 years to protect the janitors' rights.
"They say, 'We're in the same boat,' we have a different boat, here is our boat," Kayhan said, with reference to the government's and capitalist organisations' metaphor of "the same boat" during the crisis. He declared his support to the solidarity network, adding that the TKP assumed the responsibility for uniting the workers.
FIRED AIRPORT WORKER: 'MESSAGE FROM TURKEY'S BIGGEST AND BLOODIEST CONSTRUCTION'
Halil, a worker who lost his job following their resistance in February while protesting the poor working conditions, also participated in the meeting. He said that the workers could triumph again since they had achieved previously.
Halil was working at the construction site of İstanbul's third airport. Tens of thousands of construction workers are employed at the airport site, as hundreds of them rallied several times to protest the work-related deaths, poor working conditions and unhealthy food and dormitory services. Stating that his co-workers could not come to the meeting because of the airport consortium's pressure, he shared the airport workers' message to the meeting.
"From Turkey's biggest and bloodiest construction site, we're greeting the call for the rise of Turkey's working class to intervene in the country's politics and to settle accounts with the bosses," the message read.
The airport workers said that their resistance served as a model, showing what the working class could achieve when they rose against the injustices, and how they frightened the bosses. "At the moment, our task is to organise more individuals from the working class that could rose up," the message said.
WORKER LAWYER: 'CRISIS MEANS UNPAID BILLS AND HOUSE RENTS'
Firdevs, a lawyer who is working at a law office, said that the crisis meant more exploitation of the workers from the viewpoint of the bosses while it meant bills and house rents that they could not afford, a struggle to survive for them.
She noted that they would struggle both for their rights and the legal rights of the workers within the solidarity network, calling on her colleagues to participate in the struggle against lawyer bosses.
CAFE-BAR WORKER: 'WE'RE FORCED TO WORK FOR 16-17 HOURS A DAY'
A cafe-bar worker said that most of the workers in their sector were forced to work informally without any insurance. "We work 16 to 17 hours a day, we cannot use our break times," she said. She added that cafe-bar workers could not seek for their legal rights since they were mostly employed informally.
Following the statements of the cafe-bar worker, construction worker Selahattin said that they were forced to work without any social security. He reminded a report of Anadolu Agency, a pro-government news agency, which had argued that work-related works were "natural" when a mine worker had died while working. He declared that they would not accept such impositions, adding that work-related deaths are intrinsic to this social order.
ANI TUR WORKER: 'WE ORGANISE THIS CALL FOR STRUGGLE'
Selda from Anı Tur tourism agency noted that they were fired on September 11, and gained victory within two weeks after their resistance started on September 17. Noting that they won by acting together, Selda said they support the solidarity network of TKP who was on their side during their resistance. Selda also expressed their gratitude to soL news that helped to spread their cause during the resistance.
Workers of Anı Tur, a tourism agency in İstanbul province of Turkey, who had been unlawfully dismissed from their work in groups during September, won their struggle on October 1
FLORMAR WORKER: 'WE ORGANISE AGAINST ALL CAPITALIST IN GEBZE, NOT JUST AGAINST FLORMAR'
Ayşe and Eren from the resisting Flormar workers noted that they organise against all capitalist in Gebze Organised Industrial Zone, not just against Flormar.
Saying that the voice of their resistance keeps getting widespread in its 152nd day, the workers added their resistance is against the AKP government as well as the capitalists. They called on all the workers to support the solidarity network of TKP.
The workers of Flormar, a subsidiary of worldwide French cosmetics brand Yves Rocher, had been fired for unionising on May 2018. Since that day, fired workers have been resisting in front of the Flormar factory in Kocaeli province Turkey.
