Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard says that he believes David Moyes can still be a "huge success" as Manchester United manager.
United are currently seventh in the Premier League, 12 points off the top four following a 3-0 hammering by Liverpool at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Moyes has overseen nine league defeats - 12 in all competitions - since taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson as Red Devils boss last summer.
But United States international Howard, who spent seven seasons under Moyes at Goodison Park, still reckons his former gaffer is the right man for the job..
"I think this club will succeed and David Moyes here, given the right time, will be a huge success," Howard told ESPN FC.
"David Moyes never takes a backward step. He always believes that he can do the right things.
"He believes in his methods, he believes in the players that he brings to a club and that makes for a really good working environment over a long period of time."
Moyes has come in for criticism recently, not merely for his side's on-field deficiencies but also for his moves in the transfer market.
Should United sack David Moyes?
Marouane Fellaini has struggled since his £27.5million move from Everton on the final day of the summer transfer window, while the £37million deal for Juan Mata has seen Moyes criticised - for using the Spaniard on the flanks rather than in a central role.
However, Howard says that Moyes will still be able to attract world-class talent, and that United's struggles this term have been a consequence of United's difficult first transfer window without Sir Alex Ferguson.
"Any time you are at club you want your biggest players in order to attract other bigger players and they have done that so I am certain they will have a pretty good summer spending money," he added.

Sunrise — Olli Jokinen was eager about coming to play the Panthers two months ago, but the reunion never happened. Days before the game, the Flames traded him to the Rangers.
Put on hold, Jokinen's long-awaited return has arrived.
Saturday, the Panthers' former captain and all-time leader in goals (188), assists (231) and points (419) will play his first game at BankAtlantic Center since he was traded to the Coyotes at the 2008 draft — a deal which brought over defenseman Keith Ballard.
"It's a special game. I have a lot of good memories in that building. It will be a little weird," Jokinen said.
He'll have friends at the game, as well as his family. After his trade to the Rangers, Jokinen's wife and two daughters watched him win bronze with Finland in Vancouver, then packed up and moved back into the house the family still owns in Parkland.
Jokinen said he doesn't know what to expect from Panthers fans Saturday.
"It could be anything between cheering and booing, I guess," he said. "I really enjoyed my time when I was playing for the Panthers. There's a good group of fans over there, hard-core fans. I know a lot of them, actually, being there so long."
Jokinen spent seven seasons with the Panthers — four as captain. The team's failure to make the playoffs, a poor personal finish to the 2007-08 season, and a strained relationship with then-General Manager/coach Jacques Martin led to his departure.
That hasn't lessened his affection for the Panthers.
"This is where he made his name," winger Nathan Horton said. "He became a great hockey player here and was the go-to guy here for a long time."
Jokinen, who said he enjoys playing in New York because of the big-city atmosphere and hockey-crazed fans, is empathetic toward the Panthers. Unlike his former teammates, he finally made the playoffs for the first time last season with Calgary.

This is pretty straightforward, your problems are being caused by an Acrnois Software (probably True Image).
The product seems to be outdated as most of its drivers date back to 2011. You should upgrade to the latest build/2012-Version.
I also noted that an old Samsung printer driver, ssport.sys(2005) is installed on that system, such an obsolete driver may cause issues. You should update it.

Well I hate to jump too early, but I have not had a single BSOD since removing one of my two DIMMS.
I am using G.Skill F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL memory, which I thought would work. The approved vendor list does not list it, but rather G.SKILL F3-10666CL8D-4GBECO(XMP) 4GB(2 x 2GB).
Evidently it is ultra important to use approved memory that matches perfectly. Does the issue I am having sound like a memory compatibility issue that would only be caused using 2x4gb insteand of a single 4gb DIMM?

Well, it appears I spoke to early. I have gone over 3 weeks without a BSOD, but got one again today, but different this time with ntfs.sys. Again, this computer has been running idle. I was just about to bring it live to our main server PC at work, then this happened. I am attaching an updated file for your perusal.
I did run a full chkdsk, and no errors were reported.

Your Samsung printer is still problematic as it dates back to 2005, I would strongly recommend to update it.
Multiple issues are being listed, the main being NTFS File system and once again a memory related problem.
Start by removing any Asus software like Asus Update, PC Probe or any other Asus hardware monitoring/overlcoking software related. These may interfere with the proper functioning of your hardware.
Is anything overcloked (RAM, CPU, Graphics)?
|My System Specs
|26 Jul 2012
I looked at updating the Samsung printing software, and did. Unless there is a specific windows file related to the printer, nothing is updating. This system is not overclocked.
It is possible it is memory related, as I am still running a single DIMM that is not on the list of recommended memory by the manufacturer. I thought that I had it solved when I removed one of the 4gb DIMMS. I will order some memory that is on the approved vendor list and go from there.

Grouse Hunt
The Grouse and The Snake
When I was seventeen I had been hunting several times with my father. I kept a current hunting license and increased the types of hunts to game birds and deer. I never did go for anything much bigger than a deer. One hunt my father and I partook in was a grouse hunt. We went out with our shotguns to try and get us a grouse. Grouse are notorious for waiting at the last minute before springing out of their hiding spots.
As my dad and I headed towards the creek that runs through our property, shotguns in a low ready state we made a normal amount of noise. There was really no need to be as quiet as possible because of the grouse. I came up to one particular bunch of grass that I thought nothing of. It was just a normal clump of grass in a sea of grass. As I stepped down, right in front of my face a flurry of beating wings sprung out from within the clump of grass. My heart instantly jumped into my throat and took on the pace of a marathon runners. I just about fell backward but caught myself just in time. My dad swung his shotgun and aimed at the grouse, and I, always cognoscente of where my dad was while hunting, also threw up my shotgun and took aim at the grouse.
The both of us shot at that grouse about five times each, it was like a warzone out there and the grouse was the enemy. We both missed each and every shot though. In our excitement we forgot to lead the grouse in its flight. Whatever though, I had my vengeance on it for scaring the living hell out of me.
Hub Challenge
The Kill
As my heart settled back to where it is supposed to be we continued on the grouse hunt with five shells each left over. Up the hill and to the fence line we went. Each one of us a little on edge and expecting another grouse to swoop up out of nowhere at any given second. As both of us had pump action shotguns, all five of our rounds were in the breech and in the chamber ready for action. We looked like a couple of warriors expecting enemy contact at any second.
We reached the fence line in short time so we headed along that same fence line hunting for more grouse. Soon afterwards and almost to the end of the quaky trees dad spotted a grouse on the other side of the fence.
"There's one son." He said
I raised my shotgun and put the bead at the end of the barrel right over the grouses head. BOOOOMMM!!!
As the recoil brought the shotgun up I pulled back the cocking slide re-chambering another round. I am still thinking about the first grouse we came across and figured that I would need to shoot it at least five times to kill it. As my first nickname implies, I did not need to shoot it anymore and my dad hollered as I was about to decimate that grouse, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's dead!!!"
Sure enough, that grouse was just jumping around on nerves. So we waited for the natural reactions to finish and I hopped over the fence to retrieve it. We got one at least.
That was the only grouse we got on that hunting trip, so I decided that I would go again and again after school until we had enough for a nice family meal.
The Snake
The Solitary Hunt
A couple of days later I grabbed ten shotgun shells, my shotgun and headed out to hunt for more grouse. I informed my grandma and grandpa that I would be out hunting for grouse, and then took off. I took the same route dad and I took a couple days earlier. I walked with the same trepidation I had on the first hunt, always expecting a grouse to spring up at me in the middle of the hunt. I continued all along the fence line with the same sense of impending fright. I found no grouse at all along the fence line so I decided to continue all the way to the intersecting section of fence. Still I found no grouse and still I was in anticipation of being scared. I crossed the creek, being careful not to fall in again, and made it safely to the other side. As I continued on my hunting trip I climbed the slight rise to get to the trail that ran along the edge of the pine forest near one of the fields.
At this point in time I have become exasperated at not having even seen one grouse so I started to relax. I strolled along the trail with my head hung low not expecting to see anything for the rest of the hunting trip. As I continued along the trail I looked up and a little black coil caught my eye. I thought to myself, "What the heck is that?" then figured it was poop left by a deer or some other type of animal in the forest. Just as I was about to step on the coil it straightened out and slithered off towards the creek.
I jumped straight up in the air, screamed, fired the shotgun, and tried to run while I was still in the air. I ran all the way home and as I ran, four grouse took flight just as I was about to step on them. Each time I almost stepped on one and they flew away from me I screamed a little more. By the time I made it home all my shotgun shells were expended and all my breath was gone. My heart raced for at least half an hour after I got back. That was the last time I hunted for grouse.

We have partridges around here that jus drive the dogs into crazy barking fits, n I agree, they fly out of nowhere n do scare the hey outta you, lol. They are cute walking together with their babies though, :) great Hub!
Took me back to when I was a kid hunting in eastern Ky. On an overnight camping trip squirrel hunting we had just laid down around the dying campfire when the loudest "SNORT" echoed through the clearing. I came out of the sleeping bag and almost fell in the fire. Afterwards, as I was changing my underwear my uncle informed us through tears of laughter that it was a deer that had come up to the camp and had done the snorting.
That's a really funny hub. I'm still chuckling as I write this.
well I will have to side with Wesley Cox on the snake as the weather is still warm enough in September for a snake to be out of hibernation..
ha ha ha well that makes the two of us with our wild foul hunting adventures posted on HP..this was too funny!
Now that was a real good read. I'm still chuckling, hahaha. Once a Grouse does that to you, you never forget. They can scare the ---- right out of the bravest man alive. hehe
But the snake, don't faze me and what time of year was this anyway? I would think it would've been in hibernation or was it early fall and a nice warm sunny day?

Hello lovelies!

My first impression? Very pleased compared to last months which was an utter failure which other LHI members also agreed to.
They must have realised that they had disappointed quite a number of people and stepped up their game to impress us again.
This months bag is a bright orange which brightened up my mood (since I'm sick with a cold in bed) and at first feel I could feel that it was jam packed with a lot of goodies to try.
So what exactly is in this months bag you ask? Lets open it up and see.
1. Baby Foot - Dead skin remover foot mask
I am so excited to try this product. I have heard about these foot masks before where they gradually peel away the hard dead skin from your feet leaving them feeling just as it claims. Like baby feet.
I personally don't have a huge problem with dead skin on the soles of my feet but I still wouldn't mind trying it out to see if these things actually work.
2. Matrix Deep smoothing shampoo
3. Matrix Deep smoothing conditioner
Sample shampoos and conditioners are great to take away on holidays so I'll be definitely giving these a try when I go to Bali in a few months!
4. Mirenesse Velvet Lip Lift Moisture Shine
I've seen and heard a lot about Mirenesse make up but has never had the chance to actually try it out for myself. I want to know what all the talk and advertisement is about. I have yet to try a lip plumper yet so this will definitely be interesting. Thankfully its a nice deep pink colour too which means there is no excuse for me not to use it. I just hope it isn't sticky, I cannot stand sticky glosses.
5. Avene gentle eye-makeup remover
6. Avene Ystheal+ Cream anti aging
Avene products are quite well known for their products and again I have yet to try any of their products other than the face mist which I really like. Since my Makeup Forever eye makeup remover is nearly at its last bend I will definitely be using this. Hopefully it works well.
Anti aging products are always a welcome now I am at the age where I should be taking care of myself for a better future. HA.
I should get a move and try all these samples I'm receiving. They seem to be piling up and overwhelming me.

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - The man accused of shooting another man with an assault rifle in Gulfport has been charged with additional crimes. Jesse Lane Pinion, 26, was initially arrested Friday afternoon and charged with aggravated assault after allegedly shooting Richard Lee Mallard in the leg.
Harrison County Sheriff Melvin Brisolara confirmed that Pinion was charged with 11 additional crimes on Saturday.
The new charges include possession of a stolen firearm, nine counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to distribute and one count of possession of precursor chemicals with intent to manufacture a controlled substance.
"On the day of the shooting, we obtained a search warrant for his home, and that is when we found all the drugs as a result of the search warrant," said Brisolara.
According to the jail docket from Harrison County, the drugs and chemicals found at the residence include marijuana, methamphetamine, cocaine, oxycodone, synthetic marijuana, ampthetamine, pseudoephedrine and hydromorphone.
Pinion is being held at the Harrison County Adult Detention Center on a combined bond of $320,000.

Karen Asrian was born on April 24, 1980. He won the national Armenian Championship in 1999, 2007 and 2008, and the tournaments of Dubai 2001 and Stepanakert 2004. In 2006 he won a gold medal at the Chess Olympiad in Turin as a member of Armenian team, playing on board three.
Asrian had a solid playing style, refusing to take much risk on board. Combined with good endgame technique this made him an excellent team player. His highest rating was 2646 (in January 2006), his final rating 2630.
MSNBC reports that Asrian, apparently feeling ill, pulled his car into a courtyard in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, early Monday and lost consciousness. An ambulance crew pronounced him dead at the scene, possibly of a heart attack. A moment of silence was held in his memory before the opening of a speed-chess tournament in Yerevan on Monday, after his death was announced by Armenian player Smbat Lputian.

Who are Karuna Action?
Karuna Action was founded in 1988 with a vision to meet the needs of the poor and the eradication of extreme poverty. This began in partnership with local churches in Sri Lanka. Since then we have grown and diversified our work, we have partners in many countries around the world and have supported hundreds of projects in 19 countries worldwide.
We are a voice of justice
for the oppressed, ending
poverty through compassion
in sustainable communities
and bringing the message of the
gospel to a new generation.
We operate through relationship by partnering with people and churches around the globe that have a vision to personally connect with the poor. Our partnerships are a two-way relationship, functioning from biblical foundations. Working on this basis often means the projects we support continue for many years. We are not interested in the 'quick fix', we exist to see extreme poverty eradicated through sustainable, relational projects. We believe this is how we can change lives and transform communities.
Ka·ru·na [kah r-u nuh] is a Sanskrit word for Compassion:
A feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering.
Com·pas·sion = [kah r-u nuh]
Merciful, understanding, love, humanity, kindness.

With the 32nd and final pick of the 2011 NFL Draft's first round, the Green Bay Packers selected Mississippi State offensive tackle Derek Sherrod. Or, as Packers' linebacker extraordinaire, Clay Matthews, Tweeted after the selection, "protect the franchise." And if anyone needs reminding to whom that refers look no further than QB Aaron Rodgers. Yes, even the Claymaker -- who no doubt was salivating at the idea of adding to the defense some of the great defensive ends and linebackers still on the board -- recognized the need to make sure Rodgers stays healthy and upright as the key to the Pack's future success.
Combined with last year's first round pick, Bryan Bulaga, some pundits -- including yours truly (OK, self-described pundit) -- think the Pack may have their bookened tackles for the next decade. Who plays right or left at this point doesn't matter. The point is, the Packers now have two very large and capable players to anchor both ends of the offensive line. While Sherrod may compete for a starting role, as long as Chad Clifton stays on the field there will be no rush to insert him into the starting line.
One thing they say you can't teach is big. And big is what Sherrod is: 6'5-1/2" and 315 pounds. He was a three-year starter at Mississippi State. Arguably, Sherrod was the best run blocker on one of the best running teams in the SEC. You also can't teach smart. Sherrod has already graduated, and did so with a 3.54-grade point average. He is also reportedly enrolled in a Masters program and has stated a goal of completing that program. Sherrod seems to have many of the qualities which the Packers not only value on the field but also in the locker room.
You can read more about Sherrod as the heir apparent to Clifton here. If you wish to read what various scouts and other observers have to say about him, you can do so here.
The feeling here is that, failing to have Alabama running back Mark Ingram fall into their lap (taken by New Orleans at #28 via trade with the Patriots...dang!), the Packers made a key addition to the team. Yes, they took a step to protect the franchise for a long time to come. Now, in the upcoming rounds, they can look to add depth on the defensive line, outside linebacker, and defensive backs. And, if they also happen to hit on a running back or wide receiver/returner along the way, that would be just fine, too. All of that is quite possible given the nature of this draft. Barring trade moves up or down, the Packers will select at #64 and #96 during the second and third rounds of the draft this evening.
Go Pack Go!!!

Packers "protect the franchise" with draft pick

The State of Access Report 2016 found that 1 in 5 camping festivals don't have a dedicated accessible campsite, meaning Deaf and Disabled music fans are often locked out of the festival experience.
While the ideal at festivals is that disabled customers are afforded the same options as any other customers, and that access is created throughout the site, many festivals find that the best way to provide good camping access is to create a dedicated 'accessible campsite' with full access facilities.
Who should stay and when?
Festivals are a social experience, and therefore we recommend that disabled people are allowed to be accompanied by a minimum of 3 friends/Personal Assistants. If you have space for more than this, be sure everyone is aware of the need to respect the access facilities and maintain routes etc.
Additionally, if you offer separate family camping we advise you to place accessible facilities there also to provide choice to customers with children.
If you operate an Early Bird policy for campers, it may constitute discrimination under the Equality Act to deny this option due to access requirements; therefore the policy should extend to the accessible campsite.
Consider the access route from the accessible parking to the campsite. Parking can be advertised as accessible if it is either within, adjacent to, or as close as possible to the accessible campsite.
If the parking is away from the campsite, best practice is to allow customers to drop off belongings before parking, if possible. In lieu of or combined with this, we recommend having stewards available to assist with the carrying of bags and putting up tents.
Layout and Location
Accessible campsites should be as close to the arena as possible, with the route being step-free. If multiple routes are an option, allow customers choice, informing them, for example, of a steeper but shorter route and also of a longer route with level access.
In addition to standard fire lanes, provide access lanes 1.2m wide throughout the campsite to maximise the accessible locations that people can utilise.
Trip Hazards and Lighting
Ensure that all potholes in the campsite are filled in advance of customers arriving, that festival tent guide-ropes in the vicinity are clearly colour contrasted, and that any other unnecessary ground-surface trip hazards are addressed.
Any Information or Charging tents should have overnight lighting as standard. In addition to this, consider lighting around water points and toilets; best practice would be for lighting to be installed inside individual accessible toilets, as this is an access requirement for many.
Electricity and Campervans
If possible, give customers the option of parking in the accessible campsite instead of in the campervan area, so they have access to accessible facilities. If this is not possible, equivalent facilities must be placed in the campervan area.
Access to electricity, meanwhile, is a key part of making a campsite accessible. You should aim to provide pre-bookable power supplies to tents or vans for customers requiring a personal fridge etc.
Non-bookable facilities include Charging Points for power wheelchairs and other access equipment within a sheltered and lit location (typically a tent). The number of these should reflect the number of booked customers.
Medication Storage
Camping festivals should have 24 hours / day facilities for the refrigerated storage of medication; this is often in Welfare or First Aid tents but if the main festival medication storage location is unavoidably far from the accessible campsite every effort must be made to provide a secondary location to ensure that customers can gain ready access to their medication.
We recommend clear signage for all entrances and exits, as well as to indicate access facilities – Access Routes, Info Tent, Charging Point, Water, Toilets, and Showers.
Toilets and Showers
A variety of toilets should be provided in the campsite, with at least one which is able to accommodate users of large motorised scooters/wheelchairs. If the numbers of accessible facilities are limited, be sure to provide standard toilet units for the use of friends and PAs of disabled people. You should also consider how a Changing Places toilet might be incorporated within the campsite.
Accessible shower facilities should also be provided, preferably with hot water options. As with toilets, having standard showers also available frees up accessible units for those who need them.
Accessible Water Points
Ensure that there is an accessible water point in the campsite. The minimum provision would be a stand pipe positioned with a tap height of no higher than 1m, however having raised sinks is the more accessible option by far.
Regardless of whether a stand pipe or sink is provided, a standard twist tap is preferable to a push top tap as the force required and the time the water runs can make them difficult to use for those with certain impairments.
Information Tent
A useful addition to an accessible campsite, providing information about the site and its access as well as acting as a conduit for information about changes and situations on site and giving customers a place to go with questions or concerns.
Security and Stewarding
The entrances/exits to the campsite should be stewarded as necessary to ensure the security of access facilities and Deaf and disabled customers. In addition, it is advisable to have stewards available to help people carry their belongings onto the campsite and also to aid in putting up tents.
It is essential that these stewards receive basic Disability Awareness training and are briefed on all access facilities and polices on site.
Late Night Access
It is essential to anticipate that customers are likely to partake in any activity on site, including late-night activities after main arenas have closed. Therefore it is crucial to plan for how those customers can easily navigate back to their campsite; this might involve allowing those with accessible campsite wristbands to use certain routes at night.
Additional Services
You may also wish to consider what other services can be brought to customers in the accessible campsite. These may include programme sellers entering the campsite, food and drink stands being present within the campsite, and perhaps even bespoke services that could bring an otherwise inaccessible part of the festival to customers, such as massage and meditation activities.

Couple's gift celebrates Greek life at WVU
Billy and Christie (Mullett) McCartney remember their time on the West Virginia University campus with fond memories, particularly of the activities they participated in as part of Greek life. Billy, a member of Phi Sigma Kappa, and Christie, a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, met and, later married, as a result of their involvement with these organizations.
Alumni and friends gathered together today (Nov. 16) at The Erickson Alumni Center for the unveiling of the McCartney Greek Wall. The wall, a celebration of Greek life at WVU, is part of a $200,000 gift made by the couple to the WVU Alumni Association as part of the WVU Foundation's comprehensive fundraising effort, A State of Minds: The Campaign for West Virginia's University.
The couple, who have been actively engaged in the life of WVU since graduation, wanted to do something special to celebrate these organizations that meant so much to them.
"Greek life at WVU presented both of us with many opportunities—opportunities to meet new friends, to take on large responsibilities, and to learn from our experiences," Billy said. "It was great training for the real world."
The wall, a living history of Greek life on campus, features nostalgic pictures, historical information and other memorabilia. Two interactive displays (one dedicated to fraternities, and one to sororities), generously provided by Erik Muendel, president of Brightline Interactive, will feature lists of Greek organizations – past and present, contact information for the organizations, a search option, photos, and a giving option.
"Billy and Christie have been wonderful stewards for our University, giving generously of their time and financial resources," said Stephen L. Douglas, president and CEO, WVU Alumni Association. "Phi Sigma Kappa and Kappa Kappa Gamma were instrumental in helping them achieve personal and professional success. This gift is very fitting of their love for these organizations, as well as that of their alma mater."
Billy graduated from WVU with a degree in chemical engineering in 1995. A native of Bridgeport, W.Va., Billy began his career with Dominion Transmission and later began trading natural gas at CNG Energy Services. He is a partner and energy trader with Vitol, where he leads the firm's North American natural gas business. Billy was elected in August 2010 to serve on the WVU Foundation Board of Directors. He also serves on the Board of Directors of the Houston Symphony, and he and Christie, served as co-presidents of the WVU Alumni Lone Star Chapter of Houston and remain active in chapter activities.
Christie, a native of Huntington, W.Va., graduated from the WVU Honors Program in 1996 with a Bachelor of Arts in Interdepartmental Studies and a minor in Political Science. She earned a Master of Business Administration from Rice University in 2004 and, upon graduation, worked as a consultant for Futurestep, a division of Korn Ferry. She remains active in life at WVU by serving on the Eberly College of Arts and Sciences Visiting Committee and the WVU Alumni Association Board of Directors.
Billy and Christie reside in Houston, Texas, with their three children, Katie Reese, Kinley, and Kellen.
In addition to retiring debt on The Erickson Alumni Center, the WVU Alumni Association has identified two additional goals for the fundraising campaign: create a building maintenance fund for the alumni center and establish an endowment that will assist in developing programs for national and international outreach, enhancing on- and off-campus programs, and assisting the Association's constituent groups in engaging fellow alumni.
The $750 million campaign, being conducted by the Foundation on behalf of the University, runs through December 2015. Alumni and friends interested in giving opportunities at the WVU Alumni Association can contact Devanna Corley at 304-293-0971.

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
My fellow former altar boy and pal Art Cashinwill translate the Latin (and I can't believe it's not taught anymore) but generally it means I'm sorry this rally caught me flatfooted.
Thursday's continued string of better than expected earnings reports plus a better number on existing home sales encouraged the bulls and scared the shorts. 3M , Qualcomm , Bristol Meyers , Ford and McDonald's all did better than expected and they represent quite a cross section of industries. But I am still troubled by the fact that revenue growth is lacking and the better earnings are coming from cost cutting which can only go on for so long.
I remain cautious.
While the housing number marks the third month in a row of better data, many of the sales are foreclosures and we are still 70% below the sales peak hit in 2005. The better number does, however, indicate to me the bottom in housing is at hand.

The Root: New Sentencing for Mumia Abu-Jamal?10/12/11

|Title: WITH FAITH.
Original (SOLD).
Prints available in my etsy shop.
this reindeer girl started out as a happy flower.
i just couldn't get her face right… until i gave her an animal nose. and from there, she fell into place.
her body was created with layers of bleeding art tissue paper and acrylic….sort of a beautiful mistake.
since i've played with the bleeding art tissue paper before, i knew that when i applied a coat of vintage mod podge on top, the paper would bleed, and, in this case, a bit too much into the background.
but that inspired me to paint the background all black and really make the colors pop. then i added the moon made with book pages, ink and acrylic paints. and patterned the background using pant markers (one of my new favorite art supplies).

I wanna keep jordy
Given age, Jordy seems like a more logical restructure candidate and Cobb seems more like a cut candidate. Jordy likely isnt getting much of a payday on the open market. His value is almost entirely tied to Rodgers at the moment. While Cobb isnt likely to get a major payday, he still has value on the open market.
But who knows. These guys all were here through the Greg Jennings fiasco. Jennings was a big time old spice guy and essentially lost that endorsement because he left GB. Cobb has to know his partnership with State Farm is done if he leaves Rodgers. Not sure what he gets paid, but Im sure that stuff factors in some as well.
Cobb today is showing exactly who he is. Hes great to have in the sense that he can be a matchup nightmare at times.
But he needs to be schemed open. And he needs to have a mismatch against a LB or S to consistently get open. Hes not a guy you can line up across from just about any cb and expect him to win more often than not. And thats not a guy you can pay more than $5-6 mill a year at most.

I agree I don't think Jordy will be around much longer, and I think you need to try and restructure both Nelson and Cobb, and I argue you keep Cobb and move Montgomery back to WR. He was almost a failed experiament at RB largely due to the emergence of Williams and Jones who appeared more than capable of being excellent complimentary pieces to Rodgers in the back field. Both displayed solid hands and the ability to run the ball. You run basically a futures compition between Cobb and Monty to see who needs to remain. This also needs to occur because adding to the offense needs to be a secondary matter as the defense (CB/pass rusher) will need to be top priority.
I will argue against the restructuring for a moment. One thing with restructuring is that you do kick the can down the road. In any restructure, youre likely giving more years and a signing bonus. So even if you restructure Jordy or Cobb, youre adding a cap hit next year. As much as I think restructuring is probably smart, if you dont restructure, youre out from under any guaranteed money to either one of those two next year.
I probably agree they need to be restructured, but depending what else we do in free agency, it might not be a bad idea idea to either cut or just let one of them ride it out and be out from under any guaranteed money next year.
I am not adding any years to Jordy. He looks toast. Tell him to take a pay cut or be cut.
Good. If he left he would have been another on the recent list of players that signed elsewhere and became probowlers or even elite level players. Hayward has literally became one of the best CB's in the NFL. Hyde also had a great year and is going to the probowl. Hyde is one thing because safety is a deep position for GB but Hayward should have never been let go. I hated when they let him go and I hate it even more seeing how great he has been as a #1 CB.
I have to say it's nice that we take care of our own, but suddenly we have one of the highest paid trios at the WR position and none of them are named Antonio Brown, Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, or AJ Green.
And yes, I understand that hopefully some restructures and/or cuts are coming, but that is just crazy.
Details are out for both deals. Adams makes sense. Slightly smaller cap hits in year 1 and 2 (about $10.5 mill each) with larger hits in 3 and 4, which is standard operation for the packers. Linsley is a little more interesting. Small cap hit in year 1, good size hit in 2 and a pretty big hit in 3, but the guaranteed money is pretty small, so we can walk away pretty easily before year 3.
And both deals got done under this years cap. Since cap carries over, its not a huge deal if they both play out their contracts. But its really smart if we have to cut one of them before the deal is up because their signing bonus is spread out over an additional year.

Multi-Award Winning
Best Activity Holiday Company…so good they said it thrice
The British Travel Awards hold a similar status within the travel industry as the BAFTAs or even the Oscars do in the world of film and television arts. To win a British Travel Award is one of the industry's greatest accolades especially as the results are determined by a public vote rather than travel insiders.
Every year, the best travel companies in the business are nominated for the awards and to win just one award is a remarkable achievement given the excellence of the contenders. To win the same award in three consecutive years is almost unprecedented and demonstrates that somebody, somewhere is doing a very, very good job.
We're exceedingly proud to have been nominated again for two awards in 2017!Read more
You can probably see where this is heading and yes, we are going to blow our own trumpet because years and years of hard work and experience in the family holiday market have led to us enjoying considerable success at the British Travel Awards in recent years.
Featured Holidays
A Magical Search for Father Christmas

Back of the Net……Three in a Row!!
2013 - Best Small Activity Holiday Company
We have been providing Family Activity Holidays since 2002 and we've always strived to follow our mantra of "Improve, improve, improve". In 2013, our hard work was rewarded when we won Best Small Activity Holiday Company at the British Travel Awards.Read more
"It doesn't get much better than this" we thought and it might have been understandable if we had relaxed, content to rest on our laurels.
2014 - Best Small Activity Holiday Company
However, nothing was further from our minds. Like any sporting team that tastes success, we too, were hungry for more and, redoubling our efforts, we were rewarded again in 2014 when we retained our crown.
2015 - Best Activity Holiday Company
Due to work and travel commitments we couldn't attend the 2015 awards ceremony and had to follow proceedings on Twitter. We knew that the voting had been very, very close at the interim stage so we were on tenterhooks as the Activity Holiday Company announcement drew closer and closer. Finally, the result came through confirming that we had won the award for the third year running which naturally enough sparked much whooping, hollering and cork popping.
Customer Feedback is Vital
How do you win the same award three times in a row when there are so many great activity holiday companies out there?
We have always listened to and, more importantly, acted on, what our customers have to say about our holidays. Everybody who travels on one of our holidays is sent a questionnaire, not as some perfunctory PR exercise but so that we can ascertain exactly where we are going right and, vitally, wrong.
These questionnaire returns are an absolutely invaluable source of firsthand information and we always love the positive comments and kind words of gratitude from our loyal clients.Read more
We also appreciate any constructive criticism and suggestions as to how we might improve our holidays, even those we have been running since 2002. We do our absolute best to make every one of our clients as delighted as possible with their holiday.
We review every holiday on an annual basis and, based on our customers' feedback, we then discuss any tweaks or changes with our partners in the destination. Everything we do is about improving our holidays year after year after year and, with three British Travel Awards under our belt, it seems that this is a formula that works.

Tasting Notes
Wine a pale straw color.
Taste wine - rich, harmonious, with fruit, mineral and woody and long aftertaste.
The aroma of wine fruity notes intertwined with mineral and oak nuances.
The wine is recommended to serve with fish dishes and large crustaceans, poultry with cream sauce, seasoned and blue cheese.
Interesting Facts
White wine "Batar" is made from two grape varieties - Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc grown in the vineyard of the same name "batteries", which was planted in 1988. Interestingly, in the interval between 1998 and 1991 wine called "Batard-Pinot" and was created from Pinot Blanc and Pinot Gris. Crop harvested in 8 kilo crates and sent to the winery, where it is gently pressed. Aged wine in French oak barrels, 30% of which - the new, and 70% - one year of use. After bottling wine "resting" another 6 months in the cellar of the winery. In total, the aging process "Batar" takes about 20 months. Wine storage capacity "batteries" is more than 15 years.
Winery "Kverchabella" founded in the Chianti Classico region in 1974 Giuseppe Castiglione, who had previously engaged in the manufacture and sale of steel in Mexico and earn a fortune. After some time, he decides to return to Italy and carries out his dream - the production of high quality wines. Year after year, Giuseppe acquire land, develop their own vineyards, winery and built a new cellar. As soon as a developing economy, and improved quality of wines, year after year, receiving more and more high ratings and positive feedback from experts. Thanks to Giuseppe Castiglione, "Kverchabella" became one of the best farms in Tuscany.
Today the economy "Querciabella" led by the son of Giuseppe - Sebastiano, continuing the tradition of his father. He invests a lot of money and effort in improving the production of wines with a view to improving their quality, while clearly realizing that innovative ideas and advanced equipment have always been and will be secondary to the gifts of nature. The philosophy of management is to create high-quality wines that reflect the richness of the terroir. Since the late 1990s, the farm "Querciabella" only apply biodynamic methods of cultivation of grapes, which favorably affect the harmony of the earth and produced wines. Sebastiano Castiglioni has full control over the process of wine production, from planting the vines to the choice of material for the barrels. By the way, "Kverchabella" - the second in a row farm in Chianti Classico, which was introduced the practice of aging wine in oak barrels.

Among the walls of evidence inside the Houston Police Department property room are 6,663 untested rape kits. Even though HPD has said these kits are not part of current investigations, the fact that there are so many untested kits has always been controversial.
Houston City Councilmember Ellen Cohen said, "To go through all that and not have your kit tested, it's probably the greatest indignity following a rape that you can have."
Now after years of debate, finally a solution -- the city will use a combination of grant money and general funds to outsource the long overdue testing in bulk.
"We didn't want a fix. We didn't want to piecemeal it," said Houston Mayor Annise Parker. "We wanted a solution. We wanted the solution to be cost effective as possible but once and for all, let's get rid of this issue."
The city wants outside vendors to tackle not just the 6,663 stored rape kits, but also 1,450 active rape kits, 1,020 other DNA kits and 1,000 anticipated cases, for a total of more than 10,000 DNA tests. Once city council approves the plan, it's estimated to take 12-14 months to get rid of the backlog.
"We will get to a position where we can guarantee every victim that sexual assault evidence or other DNA evidence will be processed thoroughly and promptly," said Houston Forensic Science LGC Chair Scott Hochberg.
Because the city is outsourcing so many cases at once, the price of doing each DNA testing is a third of the current price, at about $400 per test, instead of the current $1,200 apiece. The city had originally set aside $5 million for the testing, but anticipates it will only need $2.2 million, along with $2 million in grant money. City council votes on the proposal next week.

Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi's hopes of playing host to the 1982 Organization of African Unity (OAU) summit, originally scheduled to open in Tripoli Thursday, were fading for lack of a quorum, conference sources said.
A number of countries have boycotted the meeting. Conference sources said Colonel Qaddafi, due to take over the OAU chairmanship from Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi, was holding a series of private talks in Tripoli with 16 African leaders, mostly radicals. An informal meeting of the 16 might be held to decide on the next step, but the OAU constitution states that a two-thirds majority, 34 of the organization's 51 members, must be present for a formal meeting to take place.

in vivo Training Initiative
The BAP is delighted to announce the 2018 round of its new funding initiative to encourage and support pre-clinical research in the UK and provide opportunity to train in in-vivo skills. This scheme was originally developed in response to the document published by the ABPI on the current shortage in in-vivo skills.
The aim of this scheme is to give students training and experience in in-vivo skills in psychopharmacology and related neuroscience fields. We aim to provide supervisors with some flexibility across the academic year to provide this training and to facilitate Psychopharmacology-related projects that may not have existing funding.
These applications will be supervisor led and awards must be spent by 31st July 2019. A total of 4 projects will be available with up to £5,000 available to support each project. BAP can provide animals from Envigo who have generously agreed to reduce the costs of animal purchase for this scheme.
How To Apply
- Supervisors, who must be BAP members, are invited to complete the online application form, submit a short CV (2 pages) and a research proposal (approx. 500 words) with full costing for the project.
- Supervisors must ensure the student receives adequate training and both student and project meet all statutory requirements for the work to be undertaken.
- Student recruitment will be the responsibility of the supervisor, but the scheme is aimed specifically at pre-PhD students who may be considering PhD study and is explicitly not intended to support students already registered for PhD or masters components of PhD students or their projects.
- Applications are now closed for the 2018 round of funding. Applicants will be notified in April 2018.
Project Criteria
- The project must be based in a UK or ROI Home Office Designated Institution.
- The project must be one that involves whole animals (in vivo) and fits within the remit of the BAP – to advance research in the science of psychopharmacology.
- Projects should have a psychopharmacology theme but related psychiatry/neuroscience/genetics projects are acceptable provided they include a strong component of in-vivo training.
- Projects on neurological disorders (e.g. Huntington's and Parkinson's disease) and pain systems will also be considered as long as in vivo approaches are utilised.
- Projects on animal welfare issues will also be welcome.
Project Funds
- Projects will be funded up to a total of £5,000 per project and must include a stipend for the student.
- The funds on offer are to be specifically used for student stipend (mandatory), animal maintenance costs, consumables and Home Office personal licence fees as necessary (as required by the project).
- Payment of the funds will be made directly to the University or Institution.
- The supervisor has until end of the calendar year following the award to complete the project.
Project Dissemination
- Recipients of the BAP project funds (supervisor or student) will normally be required to present a poster or oral communication at the BAP annual summer meeting.
- A final jointly authored report (approx. 500 words) will be required from the supervisor and student to provide feedback to the BAP to allow evaluation of the initiative. This report will made available to download on the website.

Sometimes talking can get dull and mundane, to change things up PUMA decided to create a dance dictionary for people to convey all their sentences in dance format.
For the new campaign for PUMA's 'Sync fragrances,' the company partnered with dance choreographer Super Dave and 25 other dancers to create a dictionary of dance. For each word there's a corresponding dance move that represents it. One can create sentences such as "Hey bro your body is hot."
The website houses several pre-made sentences with words that can be interchanged to create new sentences -- imagine talking to your friend like this. It may not be the most practical way of speaking, but it does seem like a lot fun.

The Well-Tempered Papier Mâché Shuttle
This is a picture of the only Russian space shuttle. It stands next to one of the only Russian rollercoasters. The two make a nice balance for the shuttle seems to be made of paper, and roller coaster seems to be made of cardboard. I will be posting to this thing all summer. For the ten people who read this, may I suggest buying an issue of one of these journals: Circumference, Absinthe: New European Poetry, Caketrain, Cimarron Review, or the St. Petersburg Review. Also, keep reading Zone. As I crawl up the hierarchy of print I will less and less make references to various publications until I will simply call myself "the writer" --my bio will be something like: "Peter Golub, he writes!" or "See Golub run". The latter might be my Nobel speech.

Carolina Athletic Fields
Sports fields play a pivotal role in recreational and competitive outdoor athletic activities.
A quality playing surface is appreciated by all participants, whether playing casual pick-up games or professional team sports,
and produces a pleasing appearance to spectators.
In addition, sports complexes are facing increasing legal questions and liability regarding injuries associated with
a poorly designed, constructed, or maintained facility.
To have a quality turfgrass playing surface in all seasons of use, sports fields must have the following:
(1) Adequate surface and subsurface water drainage.
(2) A properly designed, installed, and maintained irrigation system.
(3) A vigorous, regular turfgrass maintenance program with an appropriate turfgrass.
(4) Reasonable play and field use.
(5) Basic equipment.
An unacceptable turfgrass stand often results when
one or more of these elements are omitted or when uncontrolled or excessive play and traffic are allowed.
Bermudagrass exhibits optimum growth during summer months; however, with the onset of play and traffic in fall,
along with soil compaction, the turf may become excessively worn.
For this reason, some fields will be overseeded with a ryegrass to provide a wearable surface during the winter and early spring seasons.
