FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Two of the last three years Mike Anderson has led the Arkansas basketball team to the NCAA Tournament. A third appearance, this time in a fourth season, would provide the Razorbacks with their best stretch in more than 20 years.
Easier said than done in 2017-18.
Arkansas must replace its leading scorer in Dusty Hannahs, its leading rebounder and two-time All-SEC Defensive Team player Moses Kingsley and Anderson's favorite "glue guy" Manny Watkins. The SEC also is more highly thought of than any time in the last 10 years. Usual powerhouses Kentucky and Florida are joined by top 25 teams Texas A&M and Alabama. Missouri has the No. 1 recruit in the nation and a preseason All-American in Michael Porter Jr. Vanderbilt and South Carolina made the Big Dance last year.
The Razorbacks are hardly slouches. The return of guards Daryl Macon and Jaylen Barford plus 6-foot-10 freshman Daniel Gafford give Arkansas plenty of firepower. It's a matter of how long it takes to come together.
With that in mind, let's take a look at how the Razorbacks stack up. This is a game-by-game look at the Arkansas schedule and one writer's predictions on how it all plays out. Some games have explanations.
Let's put it this way: Things are going to be tenuous. Should make for a fun season.
Samford, Friday, Nov. 10
Win (1-0)
Bucknell, Sunday, Nov. 12
Win (2-0)
Fresno State, Friday, Nov. 17
Win (3-0)
Oklahoma, Thursday, Nov. 23
Loss (3-1)
Arkansas is a bit better than Oklahoma on paper. Every year there is a game on the Razorbacks' schedule like this one: The Razorbacks are a slightly better team but, for some reason, they play absolutely positively flat and fans panic. It's going to happen this nonconference season at some point. I say it's here.
North Carolina/Portland, Friday, Nov. 24
Win (4-1)
Almost no chance this is North Carolina. Accordingly, working off the assumption Portland loses to the Tar Heels and Arkansas has lost to Oklahoma. If the Razorbacks beat Oklahoma and get a rematch with North Carolina, flip the result of the game on Thursday and this one.
TBA, Sunday, Nov. 26
Loss (4-2)
It's hard to chalk up a loss in a game in which Arkansas doesn't know its opponent. Look at the possibilities, though, and two of the four teams the Razorbacks could play are better. One is about the same. If somehow DePaul makes it down this far, this is a "W."
Houston, Saturday, Dec. 2
Win (5-2)
Colorado State, Tuesday, Dec. 5
Win (6-2)
Minnesota, Saturday, Dec. 9
Loss (6-3)
The Gophers are solid, man. Minnesota played seven guys in its rotation last year and return six of them, including its top four scorers. Arkansas lost last year when these two teams played up in Twin Cities, 85-71, a game the Razorbacks were completely flat. Expect Arkansas to play better this year, what with the game at home and everything. Still, Minnesota is a team that has Elite Eight dreams.
Troy, Saturday, Dec. 16
Win (7-3)
Oral Roberts, Tuesday, Dec. 19
Win (8-3)
Bakersfield, Wednesday, Dec. 27
Win (9-3)
Tennessee (Home), Saturday, Dec. 30
Win (10-3, 1-0)
Arkansas' first SEC game of the season should get the Razorbacks off to a good start. Tennessee was picked 13th in the conference and is coming off a sub-.500 SEC season. Not a lot of individual talent on the roster, but with coach Rick Barnes, the Vols can be scary on the right night. They did beat Kentucky last year in a shocker. Don't anticipate that against Arkansas.
Miss State (Road), Tuesday, Jan. 2
Loss (10-4, 1-1)
Auburn (Road), Saturday, Jan. 6
Win (11-4, 2-1)
LSU (Home), Wednesday, Jan. 10
Win (12-4, 3-1)
Missouri (Home), Saturday, Jan. 13
Loss (12-5, 3-2)
The Razorbacks should be feeling pretty good entering the basketball version of the Battle Line Rivalry. Likely 3-1, and perhaps even 4-0 depending on how good Mississippi State is, Arkansas and Missouri should grow their underrated good hoops rivalry this season. The Mike Anderson connection has been around for several seasons now, but the Tigers have been down and out pretty much since joining the SEC. Now, with the No. 1 high school recruit in the country, Mizzou looks for a sudden turnaround.
Florida (Road), Wednesday, Jan. 17
Loss (12-6, 3-3)
Ole Miss (Home), Saturday, Jan. 20
Win (13-6, 4-3)
Georgia (Road), Tuesday, Jan. 23
Loss (13-7, 4-4)
The second of a handful of SEC toss-up games for me. Georgia was picked eighth, just two slots behind Arkansas. The Bulldogs aren't a walkover. Forward Yante Maten might be SEC Player of the Year by the end. Georgia lost the dazzling JJ Frazier but return practically everyone else and have top 50 freshman Rayshaun Hammonds, too. Georgia is powered by its front line, so if it isn't shooting, Hogs win. If gets even a few, Hogs lose.
Oklahoma State, Saturday, Jan. 27
Win (14-7)
Texas A&M (Home), Tuesday, Jan. 30
Loss (14-8, 4-5)
LSU (Road), Saturday, Feb. 3
Win (15-8, 5-5)
South Carolina (Home), Tuesday, Feb. 6
Win (16-8, 6-5)
Vanderbilt (Home), Saturday, Feb. 10
Win (17-8, 7-5)
Ole Miss (Road), Tuesday, Feb. 13
Win (18-8, 8-5)
The Razorbacks will have to be feeling pretty fantastic right about now. Good bet they will have won at least four of its last six by the time the Ole Miss game is over. If Arkansas does beat the Rebels — and the rest of the season falls close to projected above — count on the Razorbacks sitting OK at about a No. 9 or No. 10 seed with an 18-8 overall mark and an 8-5 record in the SEC. Thing is …
Texas A&M (Home), Saturday, Feb. 17
Loss (18-9, 8-6)
Kentucky (Home), Tuesday, Feb. 20
Loss (18-10, 8-7)
Alabama (Road), Saturday, Feb. 24
Loss (18-11, 8-8)
Auburn (Home), Tuesday, Feb. 27
Win (19-11, 9-8)
Missouri (Road), Saturday, March 3
Loss (19-12, 9-9)
The final five games on the schedule are horrifically hard. Texas A&M is a dark horse to win the conference. Kentucky is picked to actually win the league. If you're Arkansas, you'd just as soon play those games on the road and instead get Alabama and Missouri — much more beatable opponents — at home. The schedule doesn't fall that way, though.
Final tally: 19-12, 9-9
As much as the NCAA Tournament selection committee has tended to take into consideration how teams finish, the final five games of the season scare me for Arkansas' Big Dance chances. It's almost not fair because I believe the 2017-18 team to be almost as good as last year's on paper.
But who knows. There are five games, including four in conference, that I had difficulty selecting before ultimately picking the Razorbacks to lose (vs. Oklahoma, at Mississippi State, vs. Missouri, at Georgia, at Alabama). If Arkansas somehow manages to go 3-2 in those games, the projected 19-12, 9-9 record turns into 22-9, 12-6. Doing that wouldn't shock me in the least. It would also get the team into the NCAA Tournament.
As good as the SEC is anticipated to be this season, 22-9 and 12-6 gets the Razorbacks into the Dance.
At 19-12 and 9-9, however, get ready to host an NIT game at Bud Walton Arena.
Here's to hoping I'm wrong for once.

More than 400 people have died after an earthquake hit the border between Iran and Iraq last night (November 12).
The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.3 which also left thousands of people with injuries, according to The Guardian.
It is thought that the number of dead will rise as rescue work continues to take place in both countries, following efforts throughout the night.
The area hardest hit was Kermanshah in Iran, and three days of mourning are now scheduled to take place.
Farhad Tajari, a local MP, said that the hospital in Sarpol-e Zahab has been heavily damaged with those who were inside now buried beneath it, therefore it cannot cope with the injured people.
Another hospital was damaged in the Kurdish town of Darbandikhan, the most damaged area overall.
The President of Iran, Hassan Rouhani, has called on his government to focus on supplies of aid.

This year's Rugby World Cup in Japan is going to be the most exciting one in the last few years for many reasons. One of those reasons here in the USA, NBC has acquired the rights to broadcast the World Cup 2019. Granted, it is only in the United States where they have the rights, but we think it's great.
The NBC Sports Group has the exclusive media rights to the Rugby World Cup through a seven-year partnership too. They are teaming up with world Rugby to make this happen. NBC's agreement says that they have all media rights on every platform and in all languages to the Rugby World Cups in 2019 and 2023.
NBC has made this agreement and the World Rugby has agreed with having NBC to broadcasts the matches solely. NBC started airing U.S. collegiate rugby clubs and now, they have the Rugby World Cup. Part of the decision has to do with the growing fan base that the U.S. has become and is still growing and rapidly.
How to Watch Rugby World Cup 2019 on NBC Sports
NBC Sports are going to provide fans in the United States with the most comprehensive coverage ever of the Rugby World Cup this year. They are giving fans and spectators of Rugby over 250 hours of Rugby World Cup matches and programming. NBC will also air 26 matches live on NBC Sports Network. Every USA team match will be shown and the Rugby World Cup Final too.
One game that NBC will broadcast is the US vs England on September 26th, at 6 am. They will also open the tournament by airing the Russia vs. Japan match on September 20th, also at 6 am.
This six-week tournament will have NBC broadcasting a lot of coverage. They will show much more coverage than they have in quite some time for this sport in general. NBC is wanting to grab as many new fans as they can in the United States. This game is very popular in other countries which has them making more money with this sport. Only if the U. S. could get on board, the sport would probably expand much like the MLS has done in time.
Rugby World Cup 2019 Pass
NBC is also offering a Rugby World Cup 2019 Pass. These are available to purchase from NBC only. The Rugby World Cup Pass is available for $199.99 and this includes the entire tournament. This price breaks down to $4.15 per game. It includes all the games of the Rugby World Cup, plus 22 matches that are exclusive and only shown on NBC Sports Gold.
All-access Premium Rugby Pass
The All-access premium Rugby Pass is $229.99, and this includes Rugby Pass and the Rugby World Cup pass as well. The Rugby pass consists of all matches from the Premiership Rugby League, Six Nations Championship, Heineken Championships Cup and knockout phases of the European Rugby Cup Challenge.
Rugby World Cup Single Match Pass
There is on more pass available as well. It is the Single Match Pass. This costs $29.99 and this cost covers one of the pool matches in the Rugby World Cup games. There is not a specific match that you have to watch, you can pick the match you want to see at the time of its airing.
Watch Rugby World Cup online
Watching the Rugby World Cup online is very easy for anyone. The Rugby World Cup will begin on September 20th and it ends on November 4th. There are many ways to watch the Rugby World Cup online. There are many online streaming services for you to watch the RWC on. One of them is fubo TV. This service is a live streaming service that is centered around sports. There is a 7-day free trial and the regular cost for this service is $19.99 for the first month and then $44.99 a month after your first month. It also includes a live feed of ESPN in dozens of markets.
There is also Sling TV, which is another online streaming service. This is one of the best services on the market today. You can customize your packages with this service. You get ESPN, ESPN 2, and ESPN 3 with your subscription. This free trial is 7 days as well.
Watch Rugby World Cup Highlights on NBC Sports
You can always watch the Rugby World Cup highlights on NBC Sports if you may need to catch up on all things Rugby. On NBC Sports, you can watch highlights, scores, and more on NBC. The passes that NBC has also offer highlights and more in the first package.
Last Words
This year may be slightly different for Rugby fans and spectators. Now that is information on where to watch if you live in the United States. This is going to be a great tournament and the sport is getting a lot more exposure than normal and we're adding more and fans every day.

Stalked: Goyer, Hartnett, Apes prequel
There's rumour that a Planet of the Apes prequel is in the works, Josh Hartnett is to play a nuclear war obsessed American Football player, and David Goyer is in talks to direct his next script, a supernatural thriller.
David Goyer is in negotiations to direct a script he wrote for a supernatural thriller about an eighteen year old who realises that she is being possessed and begins to fight back. The story comes from The Hollywood Reporter.
Josh Harthett is set to star in End Zone according to Variety. The film is directed by George Radcliff and adapted from the novel by Don DeLillo (Amazon.co.uk / Amazon.com). The story looks at an American Football player who is obsessed with nuclear war and looks on his team tactics sessions as military planning. It's supposed to be very good and very funny.
Although there's nothing confirmed and it's just an emailed source, Bloody Disgusting have a rumour that there's going to be a Planet of the Apes prequel film. It will be a prequel to the Tim Burton remake of Planet of the Apes. Oh lord. Luckily it's just going to start the search for a writer, so this could take a long time and still be turned around.

Two men charged with murder over teen's death in Ingleburn house party brawl: Photos
Two men have been charged with murder after a teenager died at a 16th birthday party in Ingleburn on Friday night.
Emergency services were called to Chester Road about 9.40pm on Friday, May 24 following reports of a brawl involving a large group of people.
The brawl is understood to have begun during a house party, before it spilled onto the street.
Campbelltown police arrived and the crowd began to disperse.
Local police were assisted by the Public Order and Riot Squad, the Dog Unit, Police Rescue, Police Transport Command, and other South-West Metropolitan Region Police Area Commands officers.
Emergency service crews found an 18-year-old man with serious head injuries on the roadside.
He was treated by paramedics, who conveyed him to Liverpool Hospital, where he died.
Several crime scenes were established and several weapons - including a baseball bat and golf club, along with wooden and metal poles - were seized for forensic examination.
Police searched an Eagle Vale home on Sunday, May 26 and arrested two male teenagers, aged 17 and 18.
They were taken to Campbelltown Police Station, where both were charged with murder.
They were refused bail to appear in court today (Monday, May 27).
The juvenile will appear at Campbelltown Children's Court and the 18-year-old will appear at Campbelltown local court today.
Police also searched a home in Campbelltown, where several items were seized.
On Saturday, police arrested four other men - all aged 19 - and took them to Campbelltown Police Station.
One man was charged with destroying or damaging property, and illegally entering a premises without permission.
Police allege the man ran from police and forced entry to a Chester Road unit, before he was arrested nearby.
The Cabramatta man was refused bail to appear at Parramatta Bail Court on Sunday.
The three other men were released pending further inquiries.

This is a time of unprecedented change in medical education globally. Medical schools, postgraduate bodies and other organisations are responding to rapid advances in medicine and changes in health care delivery.
New education approaches are being adopted to exchange information. This enables the institutions to produce relevant health professionals.
There are a number of innovations and models that are being explored to improve the learning of students studying medicine and public health. And institutions are learning from each other by sharing experiences on overcoming challenges they have faced during medical training.
For example, a Kenyan case study shows that partnerships between the higher education institution and the community are working. The way the partnership worked is featured in the Routledge International Handbook of Medical Education . It gives an account of the Moi University community programme that uses adaptive instruction for health trainees in the schools of medicine and public health.
Adaptive instruction is a student centred approach where they are given real life cases to solve health problems theoretically as tutorial cases.
This discussion, with the guidance of a tutor, promotes active learning.
The model – built an inter professional collaboration that benefits the community – is recognised globally because it encourages active learner participation in the provision of health services.
The experiential model
An early relationship with Linköping Universityin Sweden led to this unique staff and student exchange programme.
The aim of the Community Based Education and Service programme when it was set up at Moi University in 1989 was to give both students and teachers a chance to form partnerships with the community early in their careers.
The programme introduces the students to a community health framework where they work in rural health facilities as part of their continuous assessment. It means that graduates entering the profession are able to apply and practise knowledge and skills beyond the theoretical knowledge learnt at the university.
It has shaped the careers of its health graduates. It has also encouraged the promotion of health and health services in communities.
The program serves residents in the three former provinces, before devolution to counties – Rift Valley , Western and Nyanza.
The trainees are posted in:
22 rural health centres within 11 districts, and
19 urban health centres within 19 districts.
The activities are theoretical as well as practical so that students can be engaged fully in applying learnt principles.
From these experiences they are expected to handle community health programmes by providing preventive, promotive and curative care.
The students diagnose issues affecting the local community, develop a research proposal, work with district health management teams and implement activities. They conduct surveillance and monitor diseases and in the event of an epidemic, they are expected to respond effectively.
The students also master the principles of how rural health facilities are run.
How it works
The six week model is designed to produce students with competency in community health.
It begins with an introduction to community health and developing research proposals on issues affecting their placement stations.
The first two weeks are dedicated to teaching research methodology and community entry, followed by three weeks of attachment and a final week of presentation of the field attachment research findings.
The programme is divided into five phases:
Introduction to the community
Community diagnosis
Writing a research proposal
Investigation executing the research plan
District health service attachment
The research projects designed and implemented in phase three and four have produced fascinating reports with research topics that address issues affecting the communities.
Examples of popular projects include those that recognise women's self help groups as change agents in alleviating malnutrition among children under five years.
There have also been initiatives that create awareness on hygienic food handling among kiosk food vendors in Eldoret.
Eldoret is the fifth largest town north west of Kenya with 500,000 residents. It hosts Moi University with a 30,000 student population.
The benefits of the teaching model
This is a unique niche for our graduates as it takes 20% to 30% of curriculum content and it makes the graduand socially responsible and accountable team players in health care delivery.
The students are responsive to community needs and the experience prepares them to work in rural practice and primary health care.
It has produced health professionals who have locally relevant skills to work in community service on completion of their training having been exposed to the realities of working in a health care set up in remote and rural areas.
The students gain experience on appropriate responses to how they can improve the health of rural communities where they are posted. They also learn about how they can be leaders that embrace the servant leadership model.
The way forward in medical education
Sharing our experience in the book was a useful resource for Moi University and other tertiary institutions that train health care professionals.
We hope that other tutors in Kenya, Eastern Africa and beyond the continent will benefit from this model.
The experience provides tutorial guidance towards building a resilient and experienced crop of health professionals at par with global health training standards.
This a bold step in moulding well rounded health professionals.
Professor Simeon Mining contributed a chapter "Community Development of Interprofessional practice in Kenya. He was one of the 199 authors from 26 countries who contributed to the compiled instructional book titled, 'The Routledge International Handbook of Medical Education'


text: CM Valencia 61 Posted March 25, 2019 Adventurers! We're excited to tell you about our new, large-scale PvP Node Wars that allow guilds to battle it out for the occupation of nodes. The world of Black Desert is separated and categorized into 'Nodes'. Guilds can battle it out for the ownership of these nodes in Node Wars. Winning the battle and capturing the node enables your guild to occupy it for one week. The amount of tax accumulated on that node will then be transferred to your guild funds to lay the foundations of growth for your guild. These Node Wars will initially start as an event and then become a permanent part of the game. (Depending on how the Node Wars are implemented into the game, the content may change or nodes may be reset after the event.) ■ Node War Event Schedule The Node War event will only be held on Balenos-1 and Serendia-1. There will be many battles occurring at the same time, but if you are an adventurer who does not want to fight, you can still enjoy safe gameplay by moving to another server. Order Schedule NA Server Event 1st Round 3/25 06:00 PM ~ 08:00 PM PDT EU Server Event TBA ※ Event schedules are subject to change at any time. ※ The results of the Node War event may be reset or change after the maintenance. ■ Node Wars 1) Node War Servers: Balenos -1, Serendia -1 Node Wars will be held on the above two servers. The following nodes will be part of this Node War event and forts can only be built in these specific areas on those servers. Please note that forts built on nodes in the Balenos region must be made on the Balenos-1 server. For example: You can build a fort at the Cron Castle Site only on Balenos-1 as it is in Balenos. It will not work if you try to build a fort on Serendia -1. The same goes for the Serendia region nodes. Those can only be built on the Serendia -1 server. Nodes Region Levels Max # of participants allowed Cron Castle Site Balenos Level 1 40 People Elder's Bridge Balenos 25 People Southern Neutral Zone Serendia 25 People Altar of Agris Balenos Level 2 60 People Costa Farm Serendia 30 People Olvia Coast Balenos Level 3 40 People Moretti Plantation Serendia 100 People Northern Heidel Quarry Serendia 55 People 2) How to prepare for Node Wars For more details, check out the [Game Guide]. ■ Tip : How to build forts Only one fort can be built on each node. In order to participate, guilds must go to the Guild Manager NPC to purchase a Node Fort (500,000 Silver). You must complete construction of the fort at least 1 hour before the start of the Node War on the node of your choice. Guilds that win occupation of the node have the option of increasing the production of the node or collecting taxes from it. ■ Node War Event Rewards Those who participated in the Node War and those who successfully occupied a node will be rewarded with guild funds. Participation Reward Eligibility : Guilds that have a Node Fort constructed before the war starts. Rewards : 5,000,000 (Guild Fund) (Even if you build a fort in multiple locations, your guild will only be eligible for the rewards once.) Winners Reward Eligibility : Guilds that participated in the Node War and successfully occupied a node. Rewards : 20,000,000 (Guild Fund) * Guild fund rewards will be sent during maintenance after the event has finished. ■ NOTE: The Node War event will only be held once. - The battle for nodes will start simultaneously in all regions. - Depending on the event, content may change when the actual system is applied. - The status of nodes can be checked on the world map. Move the cursor over the node to discover which guild occupies it. - As this is an event, taxes cannot be collected even if you have won occupation of the node. We would love to see as many Adventurers as possible participating in the first Node War event. Don't miss out on the opportunity to be victorious and be the first guild to conquer a node! ■ Important notice for participants! 1) You must build your fort and annexes in the specific regions on the specific servers. E.g.) If you are battling for nodes in the Serendia region, you must build them on the Serendia-1 server. 2) All participants will be able to see the locations of the node forts an hour after Node War starts. 3) Participating guilds that have lost their forts will no longer be able to attack. 4) Participants will not receive a penalty for dying in the node wars. 5) Guilds will not be able to accept any more members two hours before the start of the Node War until it ends. 6) In order to participate, you must mark your participation in the Guild Window. If you do not do so, you will be unable to see enemy movements and forts. ■ Important notice for Adventurers not participating in the event! 1) Monsters will disappear from the map 15 minutes before the start of the Node War. Please move to any of the other servers to continue enjoying the game. 2) Those who are not participating in the event cannot attack participating guilds but they can be attacked by the participants. ========================================================= We strive to bring you an immensely exciting, but stable, Node War. We hope that many Adventurers will join us in this event. Thank you for your continuing support, we hope you enjoy the event!

We have had two recent suggestions about electrical plugs.
One person wrote:
Hi, Could you please add more electrical plugs in the library. Too often, they are out of reach for people at sitting areas and the ones we can actually get to are all being used. Thank you.
and, another person wrote:
More 110V outlets are needed. The third floor has a section of highly coveted workspaces that are both large, and contain two 110 volt outlets. We need more of these workspaces considering the time we live in, and the fact that most students are using personal computers to complete assignments and conduct their research.
There is a plan to install many more electrical outlets along the perimeter of the Webster Library in all the study locations. They should be installed in the near future.

Energy and heat is produced at the Energy Recovery Facility on Bernard Road, using waste that cannot be recycled. Kerbside black bin waste that is collected by Veolia Environmental Services on behalf of Sheffield City Council is incinerated at the site. The incineration process generates low carbon energy in the form of electricity for the national grid and heat which is used in Sheffield's District Energy network. The heat is pumped through underground pipes to properties which are connected to the network.
The network provides 'green heat' to 149 properties across the city including The Town Hall, Ponds Forge, The Crucible and The Winter Gardens.

Nice lines, I always like a bit of per-spective... :)

School=Prison, Ha!
Nice shot. And nice speaking with you on the forum. By the way, my brother lives in Göteborg. He has been there for about 6 years now. So I enjoy looking at the blogs from your country even though I know you are on the other side of it.

Nice talking to you too!
I'd love to take credit for the picture but just to confuse the rest of the world :) we're a small team hiding behind this blog and this particular shot is courtesy of Stefan.
With a brother in Gothenburg I'm sure you're familiar with the eternal argument on which side of Sweden is really the front and which is the back... ;)
Take care!

Front or back is just a matter of perception.
I'm a bit surprised that the good people of Göteborg don't have a daily. Flickr is always a good source though.

I wish my brother would blog so the family could see where he lives, but alas, he's very busy with his research--a nanophysicist at Chalmers.
Thanks for visiting my blog by the way. I appreciate comments.

Thank you! It's great to have such a response when I manage to publish a post again.

Asus Motherboard shows Code-00 (No POST a lot of times)(MB: Maximus vii Hero)
Hello, For nearly a year I've been receiving error code "00" on my Asus motherboard. No POST happens a lot of times but after turning it off and on for a couple of times(Sometimes just leaving it off for a few hours and then turning it on again) it will again continue to work normally(Again I've been using the computer for nearly a year like this). During the time when "No POST" happens, I've tried removing RAM sticks and i still received the same code.
I've also taken my computer twice to the repair shop. These people did the same thing which I did. They checked with different RAM (Same Code-00), then they changed the PSU (Which I couldn't because I don't have extra parts to test but still same Code-00). And then they say its a motherboard problem and they need to mess with ICs else my computer wont turn on. Another person said my motherboard is dead and i should buy a new mobo instead.
I usually just take the PC back because i know that if i leave it off for a few hours, it ends up working fine(Most of the times it turns on with a couple of attempts).
May I know what should I do to fix the 00 error so my computer works fine always?
Things I have tried:
Resetting the BIOS. Works for a day and then it goes back to Code-00 and after 4-5 attempts of powering On and Off it works fine.
Leaving the system on for 10 or so minutes and then retrying (It works most of the time this way). Saw this on a youtube comment once since a lot of people seem to be getting this 00 error. The explanation which the user gave was that the processor needs a bit of warmth. (But again sometimes it doesn't work).
Keep in mind, when my computer works it works perfectly. I even tried doing the stress test on CPU-Z and it worked fine. Could it be some major problem still?

when my older Maximus VIII Hero put out error 00 it also had a lit CPU LED, and i learned that the CPU an i7 7700k was dead. My retailer exchanged it for a new CPU and it fixed that problem.
A suggestion: turn off the power from the wall socket for 30 seconds, then turn it back on and try to boot. Let me know if it boots first time. Do this a few times to verify if whatever the PC does can be repeated.

It's quite sad that the Error Code 00 is actually seen on so many different MOBOs.
I haven't noticed any red led blinks. I can see an orange led blink below my ram area but that's no big deal I guess (heard it shows a working HDD).
As for your suggestion, sometimes yes. As I've said in my post, my computer eventually works on its Xth attempt. Sometimes it works when I turn it on, sometimes it takes 10+ attemps. Sometimes I turn off the power socket for 30+mins(sometimes 30secs) and it works. But it eventually always works (It's been working for like this for nearly a year) and when it turns on, it works fine as it always did. The problem is the initial startup which sometimes takes me 30+mins for that god awful "00" error to disappear and normal working codes to appear.
BTW I feel as if this is important, but when I get the 00 error, My CPU fan spins at full speed (as if my CPU is overheating. It's impossible for my CPU to overheat the moment I start my comp...But my CPU Fan goes

text: I'm a huge fan of orange chicken, primarily because it bills itself as a Chinese restaurant staple, but it's really not all that authentic to begin with, and was actually invented in Hawaii at a Panda Express, or at least that's what the internet tells me and as I've heard before, you have to believe everything that's on the internet. I love this dish so much that I even turned it into a delicious Orange Chicken Slider in my cookbook. Crazy or genius (or maybe even crazy genius)? You'll have to get the book, make the sliders and decide for yourself. This time around, however, I had an idea the other day, while eating orange chicken, that I wish the chicken was bigger. Then I got to thinking about how some of us out there in the world, primarily me and Ina Garten, have a chicken dinner at least once a week. So that's how this dish came about. It's basically jumbo pieces of orange chicken, designed to be a complete dinner served with rice and sautéed broccolini. So if you've ever wanted giant pieces of orange chicken, your wish has come true. A delicious, crunchy, orangey wish.

Some of you have been asking me for an update on my case. This is what has happened thus far.
On December 3, 2009 I had a meeting at the QHRC to discuss the failure of the mediator Mr. G to return my messages, after the breakdown of the mediation session on September 15, 2009, the dismissal of Mr. Niemi as my advocate and Mr. G's request that I submit another offer of settlement to Les Ailes de la mode and the legal firm they hired, Heenan Blaikie.
I met with Mr. G's supervisor Mr. B and we discussed some of the elements of the case. On December 11, 2009 I received an offer to continue discussions on December 14. I accepted and Mr. B and I met again, in his office, to discuss the case. Once again, it started off with Mr. B asking me what I wanted, even though I had made copies of the emails messages between myself, Mr. Niemi and the QHRC mediator, Mr. G, available to him.
The emails state, in no uncertain terms, what I am asking for.
Our meeting was fairly brief (about 40 minutes) and ended with Mr. B promising to get back to me on December 18, 2009.
The 18th of December came and went with no word from anyone at the QHRC.
So what am I going to do?
Stay tuned…
If you want to read about some of the details of the case you can download the pdf files below.
Something is seriously wrong in the Province of Quebec right now. As an English-speaking, African Canadian, it seems as though I am going to have to fight even harder, to obtain a just settlement, even after I won my case.
This could make for a very interesting documentary.

Key Aspects of Professional Landscaping Design
It is always a misconception by home owners that by creating their landscapes by themselves it will be more appealing since they understand what they want for the yard and will also cut the costs of landscaping the garden as well as thinking it will be more appealing since they are the once doing the job rather than other people but that could be wrong since there are some critical aspects of landscaping that they miss which would not be the case for professional landscape designer where they compare themselves since they have some little know how from the internet about landscaping.
Among the best landscaping companies is Lawson landscapers since it has quite a lot of information about the industry and landscaping design s to ensure that your property has the best unique appeal that fits to your style going a long way beyond the pretty picture to the bigger picture of the landscape that is in line to your unique lawn and style.
To ensure that you have a customize landscaped lawn it is important to take your time to find a competent company that will ensure that it landscapes your yard according to your preference and these is possible by finding companies that carry out projects such as landscaping lake Charles to ensure that same quality service is implementable to your yard. By contracting professional landscaping companies they ensure that they design your lawn to match your indoor style, color choices and patterns, flow of traffic, free space left around and the lighting of the garden.
There are several considerations that an be made to ensure that you hire professional landscaping designs that will ensure that you design the landscape in a desirable way by professionals according to your personal preference which would not be the case by personally implementing the landscape yourself. The first aspect of a yard that they consider is the intricate knowledge of the yard to ensure that they determine at an early stage factors such as if the yard drains rain water in the right rate, the amount it collects and the required one and the amount of sunshine cover that it should have depending on its use so as to determine the plants and tree cover to plant.
It is also important to have the future consideration of the lawn to ensure that it is appealing even in the future occurrence when the plants and trees become mature having the right match. Also it is important to ensure that professionals implement the project so that it can be appealing even in future.
Landscaping is a tricky task to design to ensure that every yard has its different style like rooms in a house yet they seamlessly flow together thus ensuring that all aspects of taste and uniqueness of yards match is important to make a single masterpiece rather than several yards that do not have anything in common.

Shout! Factory's February 25, 2014 six-disc DVD release of the 22-episode first season of the 1986-1994 drama "L.A. Law" begins a particularly "Bocho" Spring for Shout!. This company is following this release up with a May 20, 2014 release of the second season of this former member of NBC's "Must See" Thursday night lineup.
Shout! is also releasing a complete series set of "Law" creator Steven Bocho's wonderfully gritty police drama "Hill Street Blues" on April 29, 2014.
"Law" centers around the professional and personal lives of the partners and associates at the "white shoes" Los Angeles law firm McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney, and Kuzak. The portrayals of power struggles and personality conflicts in the office and the legal disputes of the clients that these "professionals" represent ring generally true to those of us with a legal background.
The following clip, courtesy of YouTube, from an early first-season episode provides both an excellent sense of the blend of office relationships and legal tactics that characterize "Law." It also touches on Sifuentes' apparent furniture fetish.
A small percentage of terminology, such as sua sponte, may beyond the understanding of the average viewer. This does not diminish the incredible entertainment from watching the attorneys (mostly) skillfully present legal arguments that (mostly) support the case of their client.
It is also refreshing to see clever PG-rated sexual innuendo in place of the cruder raunchy dialogue of today's programs. Separately referring to a sexual act as one that is normally described in reference to two numerals and stating a desire to not engage in behavior that justifies being called a two-word phrase that ends with a word that ryhmes with "freezer" are prime examples of this witty wordplay.
Watching the first-season episodes nearly 30 years after they first aired is akin to attending a 30-year college reunion after not seeing classmates in the interval. The overall experience is very positive and the interaction enjoyable, but you find that your memories are a little distorted.
The studs are less hunky and a little more chunky then recalled, the cool clothes and stylish 'dos look dated, and the decor goes from "to die for" to making you want to die from embarrassment.
The pilot strikes a good balance between introducing the characters to the audience and getting right down to business. A hostage situation develops early in the episode, senior partner Chaney is discovered dead in his office, and summer associates who are working on a trial (of course, pun intended) basis are sweating out the decision regarding which, if any, of them will receive an offer of permanent employment.
This episode also brings Deputy District Attorney Grace Van Owen, played by "The Partridge Family's" Susan Dey and public defender Victor Sifuentes, played by Jimmy Smits, into the McKenzie Brackman universe.
Another notable development in this episode is the commencement of the romance between associates Ann Kelsey and Stuart Markowitz, who are respectively played by real-life spouses Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker.
The more compelling legal issues that episodes from the first half of the season raise include whether a man should be held criminally liable for a mercy killing of his partner who is dying from AIDS, whether a flaw related to convicting a man who is almost certainly guilty of a series of horrific crimes justifies setting him free, and the right of a man to be frozen after his death.
On a more general level, the first season of "Law" contains more than a fair share of classic moments from the show despite the fact that a despised attorney getting the shaft comes later in the series. Early stand-out events include a warped variation of the penultimate scene of the classic '60s film "The Graduate" and the introduction of the highly effective sexual technique known at the Venus butterfly.
This season is notable as well for its guest stars; seeing '70s sitcom actors Bill Macy and Harold Gould in serious roles is fun even if Macy's character is simply a wilder and more perverse version of Macy's Walter Findlay from "Maude."
Seeing Boyd Gaines, whose first television role is a sweet goofball on the sitcom "One Day at a Time," play a not-so-nice guy in a recurring "Law" role is a bit more jarring than watching his fellow CBS comedy veterans in their "Law" parts.
Further, the dramatic black actresses Alfre Woodard and CCH Pounder have prominent roles in back-to-back episodes.
Shout! supplements these episodes with an impressively large collection of recent interviews with everyone from Bocho to Larry Drake, who plays Benny the mentally challenged office worker.
The final verdict regarding the first season of "Law" is that it provides a good time capsule of the era and provides a strong foundation for the future seasons.
Anyone with questions regarding "Law" is welcome to email me; you can also connect on Twitter via @tvdvdguy.

Reward offered to solve armed robbery of Seattle restaurant on Mother's Day
SEATTLE — Detectives in the Seattle Police Robbery Unit are asking for the public's help to solve a takeover style armed robbery on Mother's Day. The thieves got away with $10,000 in cash because it was the busiest day of the year. Police say suspects robbed the Palisade Restaurant at 2601 W. Marina Place in Magnolia on May 13th. The call for help came into 911 at about 11:36 pm.
Detectives say a manager told them he was inside a coat room when he was accosted by a masked suspect who pointed a silver semi-automatic pistol at him, then demanded money from the safe. The victim said the suspect repeatedly told him, 'Don' play with me." The manager said he went to the office where the suspect ordered him to empty the contents of the safe into a duffel bag. The manager couldn't tell whether the suspect already knew where the office was located.
The suspect then escorted the manager to another area of the restaurant where an employee was being held at gunpoint by a second masked assailant. The victim told officers he was in the kitchen cleaning up when he was approached by a man holding a gun. He says the suspect ordered him to turn over his phone which he did. Officers say the two were ordered to get inside a walk-in refrigerator in the kitchen and to count to 30 before leaving. They complied and then exited and began looking for a 3rd employee known to be working that night.
The 3rd employee told officers he escaped when he was approached by the two gunmen but ran down a hallway and around a corner, before getting in an elevator and taking it to the basement. He says he locked the elevator so the suspects could not pursue him. He says he ran outside and took off his work apron so that he could hide in the bushes. He remained there until officers arrived on scene. His work apron was later recovered 300 yards from the scene.
Police say one suspect was described as a white male, approximately 6'01", with a muscular build. He was also wearing all dark clothing with a dark colored mask covering his face. Detectives say the race of the second suspect is unknown but the victims told police he seemed to be in his 20's, 5'07" to 5'09", wearing all dark clothing with his face concealed by a black mask.
There is no surveillance video or images of the suspects but detectives are hoping someone has bragged about their large 'score'. Crime Stoppers of Puget Sound is offering a cash reward of up to $1,000 for any information that leads to an arrest in the case. If you know who was involved, submit an anonymous tip via the P3 Tips App on your phone or at http://www.P3Tips.com. You can also call 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Agra gets 24th spot in smart city rankings
The Agra Municipal Corporation (AMC) has been ranked 24th among 87 smart cities in the country. The rankings were released by the Union ministry of Housing and Urban Development.
While AMC was declared second in Uttar Pradesh, out of its 10 smart cities, Varanasi stood at the first place. Agra was selected in the smart city project only in the second round in 2016. Soon after Agra's selection in the list of smart cities, a special purpose vehicle (SPV) was constituted to plan, apprise, approve, release funds and evaluate development works. Named the 'Agra Smart City Limited', the SPV is headed by the Agra divisional commissioner.
Nagpur, with a score of 259.9, topped the list, closely followed by Vadodara with 195.31 marks. Ahmedabad came in third with a score of 190.96.
Officials at the ministry said that rankings were based on the expenditure, project implementation and performance of civic bodies in the past four years. Of the total 99 smart cities in India, 12 were not assessed this time since the third list of cities was released late.

Thanks to the nice weather this weekend we managed to get a lot of work done on the outside of the Lighthouse. We added more Cushion fall bark chip to the main play area and topped up the sandpit with some fresh East Coast sand. Plenty of weeds were removed and fresh new plants were introduced. Out the front the whole car park area has been water blasted and a new garden area has been built by the sign. New security lights have been installed on all four corners as well. A new railing has been added to the tower to make it safer. Over the next few weeks we plan to make a few more improvements so watch this space…

Rumblings of 'Dinosaur Train' Heard at PBS
The Jim Henson Company has reached an agreement with PBS Kids to debut Dinosaur Train, which promotes basic scientific analysis and skills, in fall 2009.
The show, created by Craig Bartlett (Hey Arnold!), is now in production for 40 half-hour episodes. PBS plans to have a wide-ranging interactive Web site component of the show at pbskids.org with games, learning tools, and teacher resources. PBS will also handle consumer and educational distribution of the program.
"Based on input from paleontologists, science educators, and early childhood education experts, Dinosaur Train has developed an ambitious and creative curriculum that harnesses children's enthusiasm for and curiosity about dinosaurs, sparking children's interest in life science and natural history," said Lisa Henson, co-CEO of The Jim Henson Company.
The show is about pre-school aged Buddy, a CGI-animated Tyrannosaurus Rex, and his adoptive family of Pteranodons traveling through different eras on the "Dinosaur Train" to learn more about the creatures.
"PBS is thrilled to bring in a second series from The Jim Henson Company," said John Boland, chief content officer at PBS. The Jim Henson Company also produces Sid the Science Kid for PBS. "Dinosaur Train extends our mutual vision of creating quality educational preschool programming," Boland added.

In response to the news of a nuclear attack submarine being named after former US president Jimmy Carter, I called him to find out how he felt about it:
JC: Hello?
RK: Hi, Jimmy.
JC: Hey! Robbie! How are you?
RK: Good. You?
JC: It's a beautiful day today. I'm in, uh, Costa Rica right now. It's so lovely. Hey! Did you know that we share the same birthday?
RK: Yeah, I did. But your birthday is public knowledge, mine sure isn't. How did you find out?
JC: I'm a former president of the United States of America; birth dates really aren't something difficult for me to get.
RK: Yeah.
JC: So what's up? How's Beth?
RK: She's good. Uh, you know, she ...
JC: Is she still doing the childcare business?
RK: Yeah. Wait, you mean child advocacy?
JC: Yeah.
RK: Yeah. Yeah. She's there, but the job is hard right now.
JC: What do you mean?
(Rob explains why Beth's job is hard.)
JC: That's a very well thought out explanation, Robbie.

JC: Don't digress. All of a sudden you don't approve?
RK: I guess I don't understand.
JC: What's to understand? I'm a former US president. Commander-in-chief and what-what. And stop making me say 'what-what.' This isn't Mary Poppins.
RK: But you're a pacifist.
JC: Pacifist, yes, but we still need a defense.
RK: Doesn't it seem odd to you that a Nobel Peace Prize winner would have a nuclear attack submarine named after him?
JC: Well, that's it, isn't it? Nobel Peace Prize. Did you happen to hear my acceptance speech?
RK: No, I didn't.
JC: Here's what I said, (pause) Here it is: '... my first chosen career was in the military, as a submarine officer. My shipmates and I realized that we had to be ready to fight if combat was forced upon us, and we were prepared to give our lives to defend our nation and its principles. At the same time, we always prayed fervently that our readiness would ensure that there would be no war.' So what is interesting to me is not the creation of strength, that's just going to happen, but rather, the growth of great wisdom to effectively control that strength.
RK: Right. I should read that.
JC: I think you might find it rather interesting.
RK: Yeah. I'm still not convinced. It still seems like your name on a nuclear attack submarine is an implicit acceptance of war.
JC: I should remind you that I'm also a trained nuclear physicist.
RK: Nuh-uh.
JC: Yuh-huh! Remember Three-Mile Island? When the nuclear energy plant melted down, my, uh, my first priority was to prevent panic and calm the American public. So, I read the hard data about the environment inside the plant, and fortunately it was safe. So to convince the American public that it was safe, I arranged a television broadcast from within the plant, and brought Rosilyn with me. I wouldn't have been able to do that if I didn't know in my head and believe in my heart that the plant was safe.
RK: You're fascinating.
JC: Oh, man. The TV reporters and cameramen set up their equipment and got as far away from me as possible though, I can tell you that. Ha!
RK: Heh heh.
JC: But, Robbie, here's what I like most about all of this. Any time someone hears about the USS Jimmy Carter, what will they think? They'll hear 'Jimmy Carter'. I don't mean to be iconic, but that name does stand for something which people might consider when they hear it.
RK: Like the proper use of a nuclear attack sub.
JC: Like the proper use of a sub specifically, but of their strength in general. That's what I hope it represents: a symbol of tempered strength.
RK: Like you, Jimmy. You're wise and strong.
JC: I wouldn't say that, but your premise is good.
RK: Yeah.
JC: You see the new trailer for the Hitchhiker's movie?
RK: Yeah. It looks good.
JC: So good!
RK: Are we going to see it?
JC: Sorry, now it's 'maybe'. Nigeria is still suffering a lymphatic filariasis outbreak and I'm probably going to have to travel at that time to help expand their program.
RK: But we could maybe get a screening, right? We're buds, Jimmy. Right?
JC: Right, Robbie. We're buds.
RK: OK, love to Roz and everyone. Thanks for the explanation.
JC: Yeah, nice to talk with you. See you in April.
RK: OK. Yeah. Bye.
JC: Bye.

Nuclear Attack Sub named after Jimmy Carter

Dear Rob,
I am so glad the Jimmy has a bud like you! And that you gave him a chance to explain to you young'uns just how appropriate the naming is. Ron and I remembered his background and commented in how seemly it is that he be honored in this way.
Next time you talk, tell President Carter that he was almost as good as President as Jed Bartlett is. And that Washington was too small for him. The world needs him and his largely unsung efforts.
Sorry that child advocacy is so difficult these days. Seems that so many people have forgotten what is important.
Give Beth a big hug for me. Karen

Sounds like your balcony will be lovely - I've got a garden - there are lots of plants that suit balconies. Is it windy?ReplyDelete
p.s. check the weight of the paddling pool on the balcony as water is very heavy (and difficult to tip away if you live above someone else)
I have a balcony and a garden but the garden is on such an incline that it's basically unusable. I don't tend to let the kids out on the balcony as I don't trust it but we are very fortunate to live opposite a massive park so we spend a lot of time there.ReplyDelete

Sounds like it is going to be lovely :) I dont have a balcony but i have a garden. My girls love the paddling pool out and a few outdoor toysReplyDelete
Sounds like a great way to utilise your balcony. I live in a flat too, but only have a Juliet balcony which isn't as good!ReplyDelete
It sounds like you have some great plans for your balcony. I have never been to a house with a balcony before. We have a garden but it is too big and I rarely use it, I probably should xxReplyDelete

At some point, everyone has heard the age-old saying, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
That is, everyone besides hipsters of course.
If you thought hipsters should be exiled from civilization for ruining all our favorite snacks with bougie BS ingredients, you might want to brace yourself.
It seems that nothing is safe from hipster nonsense nowadays, not even the sacred American sport of hot dog eating contests.
That's right. We recently came across a new type of eating event at The Taste Of Buffalo this year that might just be the biggest hipster crime ever committed against humanity.
A kale eating competition called "Kale Yeah! — The World's Healthiest Eating Championship."
If you ask me, there are few things in life more entertaining than watching a bunch of people frantically attempt to demolish half of their body weight in Nathan's hot dogs.
However, I think I would rather kale myself than watch a bunch of hipsters stuff handfuls of nasty kale down their throats. Also, there's no way that much fiber at once is good for you.
The website really tries to talk up this alternative eating contest, stating,
For the first time in human history, the world's greatest eaters will test themselves against the almighty kale — the leafy green vegetable that has captured the hearts and minds of both the culinary set and those for whom their body is a temple.
Not to mention, they're even awarding the winner of this kale eating contest with $2,000 worth of green.
However, you would have to pay me a whole lot more than a couple grand to choke down a box full of this coveted hipster vegetable.
I mean seriously, what is this? An eating contest for rabbits?

Yes, I'm still alive and yes I'm still writing on my blog! I started a long term subbing position on Tuesday this week, and it has been crazy trying to get into the swing of going to school everyday. It takes some getting use too! I haven't really been working on my 40 Days, 40 Bags challenge as much as I would like to this week, because of trying to figure out what is going on... and the fact that I have been exhausted by the time that I actually got home. After supper tonight I'm going to work on my bedroom project a little bit more. I don't stay up very late these days, because I can't, I will fall asleep in a chair or at the kitchen table.

As Watford sit rooted to the foot of the Premier League table with no wins from eight matches, a goal difference of -16 and head coach number two already in the dugout, fans could be forgiven for assuming things are going to be bleak at Vicarage Road come the end of the season.
So far, the Hornets have scored just four goals, conceded 20, including eight in one match, and kept just one clean sheet, suggesting their place in the Premier League could be in the balance.
Fortunately, with the Premier League in its 28th season, there is a wealth of data to look at to help consider how likely it is that Watford will beat the drop and so, using examples from previous campaigns, here is a brief analysis of the Hornets' chances of survival.
An obvious comparison to start with is Watford's previous Premier League seasons, of which there have been six, and this seventh season in the current version of the English top flight has seen the Hornets make their worst start.
In both the 99/00 season and the 06/07 season the club had begun more positively than they have this time around, but still ended in last place.
After eight matches in 99/00 Watford were 14th and had nine points with three wins, no draws and five defeats. They would go on to claim just 15 more points and finish the season with only 24.
The beginning of the 06/07 season bears a closer resemblance with the current campaign, but was still marginally better, as the Hornets were in 19th place after eight games, with four points from four draws. That season they gathered 28 points, which was not enough to prevent them from dropping back down to the Championship.
From the 15/16 season up until the 18/19 season, the Hornets had already amassed double figures points-wise at this stage, with 10, 11, 15 and 13 on the board respectively.
This season has also seen Watford amass their lowest goals tally after eight matches, with five goals in the 99/00 season the fewest scored from their previous campaigns.
None of this makes for comfortable reading and is the reason the Hornets are as low as 11/10 with some bookmakers to end this season in the bottom three.
However, there are plenty of examples of teams in similar situations at this stage going on to survive.
A total of 15 teams have found themselves on just three points after eight matches and of those teams, seven survived and eight were relegated, which shows that the Hornets' fate is by no means sealed already.
In fact, there are some teams who have overcome even worse starts to their seasons, but gone on to retain their top flight status.
Included among those are Southampton in 98/99, who had just one point after eight matches, had scored just three goals and conceded 21. They went on to finish 17th on 41 points.
Spurs had a similarly poor start to the 08/09 campaign when they took just two points from the first 24 available, but ended up finishing eighth with 51 points on the board.
More recently Sunderland escaped relegation twice from bad starts when they overcame a one point from eight games start in the 13/14 season to finish 14th with 38 points and then again when they picked up just three points in eight matches before finishing 17th with 39 points in 15/16.
Similarly, their north east neighbours Newcastle survived the drop last season, despite having just two points at this stage in the campaign. They came a respectable 13th with 45 points.
So there are plenty of examples Watford can look to for inspiration as they look to turn their season around and of the previous 27 seasons, nine of the teams who were bottom after eight games went on to survive, statistically giving the Hornets a one in three chance of surviving, if history is to be repeated.
However, anything is possible in football and last season has shown that Watford aren't necessarily a club interested in duplicating the past.
With a squad that took the club all the way to its first FA Cup final in 35 years and that broke several club records in the Premier League, there is enough talent in the squad to dodge the drop.
At the moment the real problem seems to be with confidence, but in their last game against Sheffield United, Watford showed a togetherness and an ability to work together as a unit.
If they can harness that all-for-one attitude again this season, there's no reason why they cannot beat the odds and maintain their place at the pinnacle of English football.

A few months ago, I pointed out the dangers of a contractor pouring dry wall spackle down a storm drain in front of my house. This storm drain is down the street from my house.
There are a cloth item, a plastic medicine bottle and grass clippings all poised to wash into the drain and into our water system.
Grass clippings, though organic, should not be dumped into storm drains. They may contain pesticides. Grass clippings are ideal for a compost pile. Try composting.

The UK High Court is expecting a glamorous guest – Katie Price.
The star is in court over a bankruptcy application. She has tied the knot three times, and has recently been in the headlines over the collapse of her latest marriage to Kieran Hayler.
It's a shocking twist of fate for Katie Price, who was once said to be worth more than £40 million.
The Sun said the mother-of-five is expected to appear at a bankruptcy hearing.
A representative for the reality TV star told the Press Association: "Katie is aware of the hearing and is working with her advisers to resolve her current financial issues.
"She hopes to be in a position to do so and reach agreement with her creditors."

The Social Media Tools I Can't Do Without
All of us–whether it's NFL star J.J. Watt who sports a VERY cool black arm brace or Pharrell Williams who dons an interesting(?) hat--have our tools of the trade; objects which are instrumental in helping us do our jobs better and/or feel a greater sense of comfort. When I was little, these tools consisted of my thumb (which could usually be found in my mouth), a "blanky," and a stuffed giraffe I dragged around by its neck until it's head literally fell off. As I grew older and matured (well, that's debatable), these tools became more elaborate and practical. Toys and stuffed animals were replaced by sports equipment, pens and pencils, personal computers, cellphones, Blackberry handheld devices, and so on.
Today, I have vastly different tools of the trade–especially from a professional perspective–than I did when I was younger. And in this post, I'll share what some of these items are and how they are integral to my work as social media manager for the Harvard Business School's (HBS) alumni office.
#1 Storify
My first–and these are in no particular order–indispensable social media tool is Storify. Most alumni would agree that we tweet A LOT. In fact, from January 2013 to December 2014 we tweeted 37,000 times which resulted in 4,900 retweets, 8,782 replies, and 6,905 favorites. While much of this activity consisted of day-to-day engagement with alumni, a significant portion of it also focused on event coverage as well as chats we curated with alumni.
Given this flurry of daily activity, I needed an easy-to-use means of collecting, organizing, and publishing specific tweets. Storify seemed to be the best option and one I was familiar with from my previous position at the Tufts University Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
)Here's an example of some of the event coverage and chats we have published through Storify.)
From the outset, the main objective of my social media work has been to engender as much alumni engagement as possible. This goal can be met through Twitter alone, but Storify opens up additional outreach opportunities. For example, once I publish a Storify I can send the link to classmates of alumni quoted in the story. Or, conversely, if I post a Storify of an event I can forward it to alumni who attended the event or were unable to attend. This can lead to additional alumni engagement and inform even more alumni of our social media efforts.
#2 TweetDeck
During a typical month, I'll curate 2-3 chats on a particular business-or career-related topic via Twitter. These conversations usually last a few days and commence with a leading statement I want alumni to complete ("Leadership is…") or a question I'd like them to answer ("Which HBS Professor had the greatest impact on you and why?"). In the hours leading up to the chats, I identify the alumni I would like to target–this can be based on everything from business interests to when they graduated–and then, using TweetDeck, I schedule tweets to these individuals
TweetDeck is an ideal tool for this type of outreach. Like Storify, it's easy to use and as a bonus it offers the option of seeing additional social media activity like notifications and mentions.
#3 Spredfast
I had been working at HBS for about a year when I heard about Spredfast for the first time. Our central communications office had adopted the social marketing platform and was gradually rolling it out to several departments at HBS. At first, the platform didn't seem like a good fit for my work, since one of its primary features was the ability to schedule tweets, Facebook posts, and other social media activities.
With the exception of the chats I highlighted in the previous paragraph, I do little scheduled social media messaging. And when we do, I prefer to use TweetDeck. But when I looked deeper into Spredfast and its functionality I found some very useful applications, one of which is its ability to provide excellent analytics. This is vitally important to my work since one of my mandates is to drive traffic to our alumni website. So, beginning in August 2014, I began sending all tweets and Facebook posts to our content via Spredfast, making sure to tag the content appropriately (i.e., all of our articles are given an "HBSWeb" ID). The following is example of some of the reports the platform generated.
With these reports–which provide everything from clickthrough numbers to engagement stats–I'm able to provide yet another means to justify the impact and importance of our social media efforts. I can show, in a pretty detailed way, that Twitter and Facebook are useful means for getting alumni to consume (and hopefully amplify) our content.
