Thanks To Our Partners
Host Our Coast, a tourism initiative featuring an online contest and the use of social media to highlight local travel, was honored with two awards at the 29th Annual Maryland Travel and Tourism Summit.
Host Our Coast was the only tourism initiative in Maryland to win an award from both Maryland Tourism and the Maryland Tourism Council.
Governor Martin O'Malley presented the Host Our Coast partnership with the "Visit Maryland Award," one of only seven Maryland Tourism Awards distributed, and the only award presented to an Eastern Shore venture. The Maryland Tourism Council presented the "Impact Award" for leading a new initiative with a major impact on travel.
Host Our Coast was a low-cost collaborative marketing effort between Delmarva Low-Impact Tourism Experiences (DLITE), Worcester County Tourism, University of Maryland Eastern Shore's Rural Development Center, Southern Delaware Tourism, the Town of Berlin, OceanCity.com, the Makai Condominiums, and Full City Media.
Paul Cox and Melanie McLean, the Host Our Coast contest winners, were introduced in June. Thousands of us enjoyed their summer adventures through blog entries and posts to YouTube, Facebook, Flickr, and Twitter. Paul and Mel helped many of us appreciate our amazing local wildlife, beaches, waterways, towns, museums, country roads, produce, crab cakes, and Delmarva hospitality.
As Director of DLITE, I wish to thank the partner organizations for their support of this award-winning program, and thank all of those who followed Paul and Mel's summer travels. We look forward to launching Host Our Coast II in February 2010. Check out www.hostourcoast.com for more.

Proper Recycling Urged
The general categories for recycling at Worcester County drop-off areas, such as the one located at Wal-Mart on Route 50 are glass, cans (aluminum), paper, plastic and cardboard.
What are people thinking when they misuse recycling areas? Items "other" than those within the marked categories are often left. Such items I have seen are old tires, toys, electronics, appliances, furniture, yard and wood debris, general residential trash and much more.
Recycling is a responsibility, right and privilege. Recycling areas are not a "dump" or landfill. People can pay for residential trash pick-up weekly or monthly. Also, people can pay a $50 fee annually per registered vehicle with Worcester County that will "permit" them to take "other" non-appropriate items to the county transfer stations landfills. The audacity of some inconsiderate people that continue to abuse recycling areas is sad. Please properly recycle appropriate categorized items only. "Go Green". Let's all try to get recycling right.

For Good Samaritans
I want to recognize two young men who make me realize that good guys are still out there.
On Thursday, Nov. 12, I was driving home in "Nor-Ida." As I approached home, I realized that my street was flooded. I decided to turn around and take another way home, when I turned into a ditch. Instead of turning around, the whole right side of my van was now in a ditch. Not good. It began to take on water and the tide was rising.
A nice guy, Drew Melson, stopped to ask if I was okay. I said, "no." He immediately pulled over and rescued me. He carried me out of my van and into his car (along with my two fire cadet girls who came to rescue mom) and carried us into safety. What a kind act to anyone – he could have easily driven by as so many others did.
My daughter called her friend who promptly arrived to help. Do not let anyone tell you today that some kids are not raised correctly. Marilyn and Michael James and John and Kathleen Lewis have done just that. Matt James and John Lewis Jr. were right there. Both young men had a heart for my situation and did not even think about the rising water and how their boots were filled or how little space they had to fit their faces into the rising water under my car. They were on their hands and knees (booths being filled) and faces under my van, racing against time to wrap their rope around my axel to pull me out. And that they did. They were successful – my van was pulled out and we were all saturated to the bone.
I was so overwhelmed with this act of kindness and privileged to be a part of it. Matt and John, these things come back to you, the Bible says they come back tenfold. I am grateful for both of you. Thank you so much, you are truly gems among stones.

A Warranted Peace Prize
All the kickbutters are apoplectic with rage that Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize. Reasonable people can only laugh at them and ignore cynical journalists who won't "give peace a chance." Get with it, guys: Last Nov. 4, most Americans voted peace in and Bush out.
Of course, the Nobel Committee was political. Imagine it not trying to clothe with the prize's prestige a peace-friendly most powerful man in the world as he goes out into the world to reduce nuclear weapons, stop global warming, lessen tensions with Muslim states and do all this by negotiation/cooperation rather than by unilateral force – the Bush way.
As Obama noted, the prize "has not just been used to honor specific achievement, but also to give momentum to causes." The committee chair said Obama "is giving the world hope for a better future." A future, let's hope, with fewer wars – costly, futile and stupid wars.
No doubt to kickbutters' surprise, more Nobel Peace Prize winners have come from America than from any other country – 19. That's one-fifth of all the winners. Here's half of that one-fifth:
— 1906: Teddy Roosevelt, for negotiating peace in the Russian-Japanese War of 1904-05.
— 1919: Woodrow Wilson, for settling World War I and promoting the League of Nations.
— 1950: Ralph Bunche, for mediating between Arabs and Jews in Palestine.
— 1953: George Marshall, for America's helping Europe recover from World War II, the Marshall Plan.
— 1962: Linus Pauling, for efforts to ban nuclear weapons and testing.
— 1964: Martin Luther King, Jr., for leading a non-violent struggle for racial equality.
— 1970: Norman Borlaug, for breeding high-yield grains to help developing countries.
— 1973: Henry Kissinger, for negotiating a cease fire in Vietnam.
— 1997: Jody Williams, for her work to ban land mines.
— 2007: Al Gore, for alerting the world to the dangers of climate change.
A noble company Obama's joining, isn't it? And this time, the kickbutt parents are not going to keep teachers from talking about it in school. It's too big a piece of our history.
And too big a piece of our future. It isn't the peace people who are naïve. It's the kickbutters. How do you expect cooperation from the world after saying its opinion doesn't matter – as Bush did? Remember, all the Chinese have to do is to stop buying our bonds.

GOP Bill Is Way To Go
I don't understand how a complete government overhaul of our health care system described in Pelosi's 2,000-page bill (that few people have read) will not increase the national debt. I would like someone tell me that when and if they cut five billion dollars out of Medicare, how is that not going to increase health care costs?
We absolutely need health care reform, but not one that tears apart our entire health care system. Please let's try and get real bipartisan support in a health bill that will still protect the people who do have health care as well as provide for the people who do not.
Republicans introduced a bill which includes solutions to:
Guarantee that all Americans, regardless of pre-existing conditions, have access to the care they need at affordable prices by creating Universal Access Programs that expand and reform high-risk pools and reinsurance programs.
Empower small business to pool together and offer health care at lower prices, just as corporations and labor unions do.
Reward innovation by providing incentive payments to states that reduce premiums and the number of uninsured.
Help end costly junk lawsuits that contribute to higher health care costs by increasing the number of tests and procedures that physicians sometimes order, not because they think it's good medicine, but because they are afraid of being sued.
These are just a few highlights of the bill. To learn more about the Republican plan and read the bill, visit healthcare.gop.gov.

Emily Maynard Heads To Vegas For A Girls' Weekend! Is She Still Trying To Get Over 'Bachelor' Brad Womack?
Emily tweets that her 'friends kidnapped' her for a much-needed girls' weekend — and Emily seems to be putting Brad behind her as she hangs with her bestie Carrie and tweets at Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend, Cy Waits!
Emily Maynard's doing everything she can to take her mind off of breaking up with her ex-fiance Bachelor Brad Womack. During her interview with Bachelor host Chris Harrison, Emily admitted that she thought she would be planning a wedding with Brad — but now she's reverted back to the single life. Thank goodness Emily seems to be coping well as she went away for the weekend with her best friends on a trip to Las Vegas — and even hung out with Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfirend Holly Madison!
"Friends kidnapped me!" Emily tweeted on July 23. "At the airport heading to Vegas for girls weekend. Anyone have any fun suggestions? Im so excited!"
Emily must be having tons of fun as she also tweeted a photo of her out with "best friend in the world Carrie" on July 25.
Could Emily possibly be even finding romance in Vegas? She tweeted Paris Hilton's ex-boyfriend Cy Waits, who is a Vegas socialite and works in the nightlife industry. Cy's twin brother Jesse Waits is a co-owner of XS, a hot club at the Wynn hotel — and Emily wrote to him "xs cabana" on July 24. Could they have been chilling together in his club or was this just her way of trying to get a private area for her and her friends?
A source tells us that Emily partied the night away at XS on July 24 staying late in the evening with her besties. During the night's fiesta, Emily met Holly and the two instantly hit it off, adds the source. The girls joined their two group of friends for the rest of the evening in the private VIP area.
Either way, it's good to see Emily trying to move on — and what a better way for her to do so than by surrounding herself with her best girlfriends.
BFFs — how do you cope with a breakup? Share your stories with us below!

It may be freezing in much of the country—and we all may look like walking duvets—but that's all the more reason to focus on what makes you feel pretty like a spring daisy. Or a hothouse orchid.
The latest Lucky has a whole story on dressing sexy: they have "bombshell" clothes and "sex kitten" clothes and blah blah — sure, it can be a lot of fun. But for me, this has very little to do any old-school notions of looking sexy. It's about feeling sexy. Sure, the clothes might be cool, but it doesn't matter unless they have that special, elusive magic for you. What I'm talking about here are those items that, for whatever reason, make you feel great. Maybe they have good associations. Maybe they make you look extra-hot. Whatever: you feel good in it and that's what makes the difference.
Actually, "sexy" is too limiting a word, because some of the strongest examples of this come from childhood: a kid will just love something, and want to wear it all the time, and I'm kind of talking about the adult version of that. I remember being absolutely obsessed with this one dress when I was about 6: it was red and blue and kind of geometric and, I suspect, objectively ugly. But I felt divine in it: the most elegant, regal lady in the world. And we don't lose this as we age.
I've had a few magic items over the years — a blue cashmere sweater dress; a certain long-sleeved tee shirt; a favorite pair of heels — but I wore them until they died, and at the moment I'm between magic items. Sure, I have stuff I like, things that look fine, but nothing has the special magic to inspire confidence, nothing has the automatic-reach quality of a sexy standby.
I asked a number of people about theirs and got wildly varying answers.
For me it's this pair of jeans — just thrift-store Levi's — that if I do say so myself make my ass look amazing. They're totally my strut jeans.
There's this one tee-shirt, really old and soft. I borrowed it from my girlfriend the first time I ever stayed over there and I still wear it all the time. The good associations are so strong that it always makes me feel happy and smiley.
Okay, this sounds kind of trashy, but mine is a corset. From Forever21. But seriously, it's really awesome! It's just like this black top that looks amazing with everything, and is like my secret weapon. The Corset comes on every important date. And even a few job interviews. It never fails. Unfortunately, it's starting to fall apart.
I have this hat. It's like this vintage beret and it makes me feel like a sexy Faye Dunaway character who can do anything (minus the whole bank-robber thing.) I wear it all the time, so I guess it's kind of my trademark?
Now, I want to know yours. What's your secret weapon, and why? (Not that you need a logical reason.) Send a picture if you've got one. Then we'll compile a list, in the interests of science and magic.

Hodgson lays down Lallana rules
Roy Hodgson will not stop Adam Lallana completing his impending transfer to Liverpool if a deal is agreed while he is at England's pre-World Cup training camps.
Lallana was included in Hodgson's initial 23-man squad for Brazil on Monday but the midfielder is closing in on a £20 million move to Liverpool, according to ESPN sources.
'I was hoping I'd be on the open-top bus'
- Roy Hodgson presented Brendan Rodgers with the LMA Manager of the Year award on Monday night, but the Liverpool boss wished he was somewhere different at the time.
- Rodgers narrowly missed out on the Premier League title to Manchester City, but steered his side back into the Champions League following their seventh-place finish last season.
- However, after coming so close to ending the club's 24-year wait for the title, Rodgers joked: "I was hoping I'd been on the open top bus tonight."
- Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis was named Premier League Manager of the Year having steered the club clear of relegation. Palace had four league points when Pulis took over in November but, following a remarkable turnaround, they finished the season in 11th.
Hodgson said: "If we were in Miami and it was a last minute thing and they wanted to send a doctor over and we had a free afternoon and could Adam Lallana go and do a medical in his free afternoon, I am not going to say: 'You can't do that'."
England fly to Portugal for a training camp on Monday and go to Miami for further preparations on June 1, after they have played Peru at Wembley. They are due to arrive in Brazil on June 8 and their first World Cup game, against Italy, is on June 14.
Hodgson hopes any potential transfers affecting members of his squad will be wrapped up before they travel to Miami and has warned agents not to distract their clients' focus on the national team.
"You don't control players moving or being the subject of transfer speculation, this is something which happens," Hodgson said. "What I make very, very clear to everyone is that I accept the reality of the situation and anything that happens is not going to be allowed to affect us.
"You sign up for this World Cup and you sign up to do a good job for England. Your club future is what it is and it will be taken care of outside of England time. That is all I can do.
"I was asked: 'Would you like all of this to be sorted before you go to Miami?' " Hodgson said. "Of course I would. It is not an ideal world and that might not happen but the one thing I am going to be very firm on.
"When we are together with England we are England and it is England that matters. If you have got matters to resolve you do it outside England time. England is England and your club is your club. The two are not married together. I don't try as England manager to have any effect on you and your club and what you do at your club."
Southampton are said to be holding out for more money for Lallana and Hodgson said: "I am definitely not going to have agents swirling around or having this player having to leave the camp. I would expect the players to understand that."
Coates in contention to face England
- Sebastian Coates has been included in Uruguay coach Oscar Washington Tabarez's 25-man preliminary squad for this summer's World Cup.
- Liverpool defender Coates was sidelined for almost eight months after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury on international duty last August, but has been on the comeback trail at former club Nacional, whom he joined on loan in January.
- Uruguay will face England, Italy and Costa Rica in Group D in Brazil.
Luke Shaw is another of Hodgson's young guns whose future remains unclear. The Southampton defender, who was preferred ahead of the experienced Ashley Cole, is on the verge of a £25m move to Manchester United with only personal terms yet to be agreed.
Hodgson dismissed the notion Shaw might have a "scrambled brain" over his potential move and has Dr Steve Peters, the psychologist hired by Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool, accompanying England to help if he is wrong.
"I would like to contest the 'scrambled brain' issue,'' Hodgson said. "From what I know of him he's quite a strong lad mentally. But he will get a lot of help from us to make sure his head doesn't get scrambled.
"We have to wait and hope that a] it gets resolved quickly if there's any resolution to be done and b] that it doesn't scramble people's heads.''

Does the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement (FTA) contain provisions dealing with copyright? According to Prof. Geist it does not. Does the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) require Canada, the U.S. and Mexico to protect copyright? According to Prof. Geist it does not. NAFTA doesn't deal with copyright.
These revelations about the FTA and NAFTA were part of Prof. Geist's prepared opening remarks to the Parliamentary Standing Committee on International Trade on the subject of CETA, the Canada EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement. Prof. Geist appeared before the Committee on February 15, 2011 to warn them against including copyright as part of a potential trade agreement with the EU.

Voices: Making it Work
New Gasket Tackles Tough Tasks
Patterned material provides enhanced compressibility for better sealing
Oct 21, 2019
Gaskets are ubiquitous components in a processing plant. Every flange, equipment joint and connection point will have some form of gasket to prevent fluids from compromising (i.e., leaking from) a process system. However, effective sealing can pose challenges. A new form of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) gasket, Gylon Epix, already has successfully addressed a number of persistent problems at plants.Read More

I attended the Zillow housing forum in San Francisco on Friday. The first panel discussed "Is it a Good Time to Buy in California?: The Housing Market's New Normal".
The participants were John Burns, CEO, John Burns Real Estate Consulting, Bert Selva, President and CEO, Shea Homes, Eric Gutshall, President and COO, Haven Realty Capital and Mark Hanson, Mark Hanson Advisors. And the moderator was Colleen Edwards, Owner, EMC Creative.
John Burns has turned positive on housing (he commented that some of his colleagues have been calling him a "raging bull"). Bert Selva said that sales are up about 40% this year for Shea Homes the year, and Eric Gutshall talked about their single family rental program (REO-to-rental) and also that they've seen house price increases in the markets where they are active.
Note: I had an offline discussion with Bert Selva and John Burns, and I asked about the possibility that some new home builders will be land constrained next year (that they may not have enough finished lots to meet demand in some locations). Selva said it probably depended on the builder, but there could be a period next year were sales are limited by lack of lot supply - although he seemed to think that would be resolved by 2014. John Burns shared his 2013 new home sales forecast with me, and it was around 450 thousand (he was close for 2012).
I was very interested in the comments of Mark Hanson since he has a different view on housing than me (I think prices bottomed earlier this year and that residential investment will continue to increase). Hanson thinks we are just seeing a stimulus bounce and that prices will start falling again. Here are a few of Hanson's comments (from notes and memory - Zillow will have a video of the forum available this week).
Hanson argued there is a substantial "shadow inventory" that will come on the market. He talked about the number of homes with negative equity (CoreLogic puts the number at 10.8 million, Zillow put the number at 15.1 million). Hanson also mentioned 6 million delinquent mortgages (LPS puts the number of properties delinquent or in foreclosure at 5.45 million).
And Hanson also mentioned the 6 million recent modifications (he called modified loans the "new subprime" because he thought a large number would default again). Hanson talked about the high "Back-End Debt-to-Income Ratio" even after modification. What Hanson was referring to was the HAMP programs were the borrowers have substantial debt payments in addition to their mortgage payment (student loan, car, other installment loans). In the most recent HAMP report, the back-end DTI was 53.6% after modification, and the front end DTI (principal, interest, taxes, insurance and homeowners association and/or condo fees) was 31%. With these high back-end ratios, Hanson argued many of these people would default (that is why he called it the "new subprime").
Hanson also discussed low mortgage rates (he called "stimulus"), and asked what would happen when mortgage rates increase.
Let's take a deep breathe.
Hanson mentioned several big numbers: 15 million with negative equity, 6 million modifications (more counting other retention programs), 6 million properties currently delinquent. No question there are significant issues for borrowers with negative equity, as an example they will have difficulty moving for a new job, and, as Hanson noted this limits the move-up market. But we can't add these numbers together because that would mostly be double counting. Most (but not all) of the seriously delinquent borrowers have negative equity - and if they don't, they can sell their homes and avoid foreclosure.
And most of the modifications have negative equity. And probably all of the listed (visible inventory) contingent short sales have negative equity. So when we are talking about unlisted inventory that will be forced on the market over the next 2 to 3 years, we can mostly ignore negative equity and focus on current and expected delinquencies.
As far as modifications, Hanson focused on the HAMP data (about 1.08 total permanent modifications so far, and about 23% have defaulted). And I agree that many more of these HAMP modifications will default over the next couple years. But there are another 4.6 million proprietary modification programs completed too (these are lender specific programs). Some of this data is available from Hope Now. The lenders also offered additional retention plans. The redefault rates for these proprietary plans are much lower than for HAMP (the lenders put the highest risk loans in HAMP if they qualified), and most of these programs have low fixed rates for at least 5 years. These borrowers may redefault when the mortgage rates adjust, but that is several years from now - so this isn't imminent forced inventory on the market.
The most important short term numbers are the 2.02 million properties currently in foreclosure pre-sale inventory (in the foreclosure process) and the 1.52 million properties that are 90 or more days delinquent, but not currently in foreclosure. Many of these properties will be sold as short sales (many are already listed as "short sale contingent"). A large number of these properties that are in foreclosure are located in judicial states, and that means there will not be a huge wave of foreclosures, but a steady stream in those states as the foreclosures work through the courts (and that could keep house prices from increasing).
Two months ago I wrote: House Prices and a Foreclosure Supply Shock. In that post I argued the peak of the foreclosure supply shock is behind us, and that suggests prices have probably bottomed. I think the coming modification redefaults and current delinquencies will keep prices from rising quickly, but I don't think this will push house prices to new lows. There are still large problems to work through, but nothing in Hanson's discussion changed my views on housing.

I decided to do some quick random research today by looking for everyone in my database who was born on today's date, October 2, and list all the facts I have so far about them. I found two people. The first was Ruth CARNAHAN. The other was a living person, so I will not post anything about him here.
So, what do I know about Ruth?
1) She was the sister of my great-grandfather's brother-in-law. Ruth's older brother, Leo Clayton CARNAHAN, married Madeline Marion PEMBERTON, the younger sister of my great-grandfather, John Vital PEMBERTON. Ruth and Leo were the children of Joseph Lee CARNAHAN and Anna L. SCHEFFLER.
2) Ruth E. CARNAHAN was listed in the 1930 census in the home of her parents, Lee and Anna L. CARNAHAN, at 1518 Miller St. in Port Huron, St. Clair, Michigan. Ruth's age was given as 1y 5m in 1930. This would put her birth date roughly around Oct 1928. She was the youngest child of Lee and Anna. Her birthplace was given as Michigan. Her father was a truck driver for an oil refinery.
3) Her brother Leo's obituary from 1984 lists her as Ruth GARDNER. Her
residence was given as Port Huron.
2) I found a Ruth Y. GARDNER in the SSDI who was born 2 Oct 1928 and died 2 Sep 2010. Her last residence was given as Port Huron.
As I wrote this, I decided to see if I could find an obituary for the Ruth in the SSDI to see if she was in fact the same Ruth as the sister of Leo CARNAHAN. Sure enough, I was able to verify this at Legacy.com. Her obituary was published in the Times Herald in Port Huron from 3 Sep 2010 to 5 Sep 2010. If you would like to see Ruth's obituary, along with a picture, click here.
If you want further info about Ruth or her siblings, my cousin Steve CARNAHAN, son of Leo and Madeleine, has more info in his online family tree at Ancestry.com. Happy Hunting!

Driver's - Maker Card License Virtual Id Fake Uk
Posted in Texas on October 3, 2018
Fake IDs are an unfortunately common method for people to try and pass themselves off as an age or individual whom they are not, usually to conduct activities they can't do legally. One of the most widespread uses of fake IDs is for college students and minors who wish to purchase alcohol underage, but there are many other circumstances where individuals use fake identification.
However, what many people who use fake IDs do not realize is that merely possessing a fake identification card or certificate is a crime under Texas law. Aside from the penalties for purchasing alcohol and drinking under the legal age, fake IDs have their own set of potentially serious consequences.
What Actions Can Lead to Fake ID Violations?
Numerous actions can become fake ID violations. One route is purchasing a fake ID online, a common practice among many college students. Another is the attempt to forge one's birth date on a license or to falsify documents when obtaining identification. Even borrowing the ID of a sibling or friend who looks similar constitutes as false identification by misrepresentation of age. The exact possession and use of false identification will determine the classification of the crime and its penalty.
Possession of Fake Driver's License or ID in Texas
Texas law prohibits several scenarios related to false identification, including possession and providing false information when applying for an ID card. The statute outlines several scenarios, including:
- Knowingly displaying or possessing a fictitious or altered ID
- Lending an ID to another individual
- Displaying another's ID as his or her own
- Driver's - Maker Card License Virtual Id Fake Providing false information or documents when applying or renewing an ID
Any of those violations is a Class A misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of one year in jail and $4000 in fines.
Misrepresentation of Age by a Minor
Any form of misrepresentation of age by a minor with the intent of claiming to be 21 years old or older to purchase alcohol is a violation of the law, including the presentation of false documents. This crime is a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of up to $500. In Texas this is the most common offense involving a fake ID.
Possession of a Fake License or Certificate
Even if you do not use your fake ID to commit misrepresentation of age, it is still illegal to possess any form of fictitious ID that is "deceptively similar" to an official ID. However, there is an exception to possession of such IDs if they have the statement "Not a Government Document" printed diagonally on both sides in red capital letters. Violating this statute is also a Class C misdemeanor, punishable by up to $500 in fines.
Tampering With a Government Record
If your ID is a legal document that you have attempted to alter, then you have committed the crime of tampering with a government record. This can include:
- Knowingly making a false change to a government record
- Knowingly presenting a fake document
- Intentionally damaging the legibility of the record
- Possessing or selling an official government document for an illegal use or knowing that it has been obtained illegally
- Knowingly making or using false documents
Under Texas law the most serious false ID crime, tampering with a government record, is a third-degree felony. Penalties can include imprisonment for two to ten years and a fine of up to $10,000.
Aside from the penalties imposed by Texas law, college students can also face additional academic consequences if caught using a false ID. Ordering a fake form of identification online can put you at risk for identity theft. With the serious consequences of false ID crimes in Texas, it's not worth the risk. If you have been arrested for having a fake id in Texas, call our top-rated Houston defense lawyers right away.

Put simply, a 404 Not Found Error means that the webpage simply does not exist with the URL entered.
Simple Steps to Solve
There are some simple tips you can try to solve this problem from your end. We will go over some advanced troubleshooting tips later. In any case, you should try these tips first because many times, the 404 Not Found Error can be solved rather quickly.
Refresh pageHoodie Hoodie White redskins Youth Jersey

Go ahead and send a message to the webmaster and let them know of the 404 error. If you are the website owner then contact your hosting provider for more information. If the server is encountering problems, it may return 404 errors.
Advanced Troubleshooting
For PrestaShop store owners, a 404 Not Found Error can be frustrating. I'll go over some of the most common causes and solutions for seeing a 404 Not Found Error on your Back or Front Office.
Many of these "common causes" actually concern the .htaccess file. I do not recommend playing around with this file unless you know what you are doing.
Solid Hosting Providers can walk you through setting up your .htaccess file and troubleshooting issues while having a Raider In Raiders Babee Nation Oakland 260 2017 Images Bestensures that these errors get solved quickly by a PrestaShop team member.
WAIT! Before you start playing around in your Back Office and PrestaShop files, you must backup your entire Database and PrestaShop files.
Please read this post to learn how to backup, or have your hosting provider backup both your Database and PrestaShop files.
Football Nfl Jerseys Discount Cheap Girls Eagles Jersey Now let's get to solving the 404 Not FoundError.
- Deleted Pages - If you have deleted pages on your store, be aware that Search Engines may have already crawled and indexed the page. It can take some time (up to a month) for search engines to recognize that the page has been deleted. Your customers also may have bookmarked the page as well. It is a good idea to redirect your deleted products to a different page, like your homepage.
- Permissions - If you are getting a 404 Not Found Error along with a sentence that reads "You don't have permission to access…" Then it's almost certainly a permissions problem. You should tweak your CHMOD permissions via FTP, or call your hosting provider to have this changed. Usually, a good permission set would be 755 for directories and 644 for files. However, permissions vary by host, so be sure to check with them first.
- Memory Limit - You might receive a 404 Not Found error as a page that shows up because of a memory_limit issue with your host. Although the two are not directly related, it's important to learn how to turn on Error Reporting. Turn Error reporting on and then reload the page with the 404 error, if you see an error that starts with "Fatal error: Out of memory" . Then contact your host to increase your memory limit.
- .htaccess Problems - The .htaccess is a configuration file used by Apache web-servers on your root folder that can, among other things, control redirects, protect folders, and change aspects of your URL's. Many times you can solve 404 issues by regenerating this file. You can delete the .htaccess file manually through your FTP and regenerate it by heading over to your Back-Office/Advance Parameters/Performance. Sometimes, simply toggling the option for Friendly URL can do the trick by forcing the regeneration of the .htaccess file.
Football Nfl Jerseys Discount Cheap Girls Eagles Jersey
- SSL Certificate Incorrectly Configured - If you can receive a 404 Not Found error after your install your SSL certificate then your SSL Certificate is not set up correctly. Double check with your hosting provider to make sure that your SSL URL is pointing and connecting with the correct PrestaShop URL within the .htaccess file. In PrestaShop 1.5.6 + you have the option to Force SSL on all pages; in that case, you need to confirm that any page with content located within an iframe is called in https.
- mod_rewrite is disabled - mod_rewrite is an apache module that allows you to customize your URL's (That is what Friendly URL is). If you receive a 404 error when you turn on Friendly URL, chances are you do not have mod_rewrite enabled on your server. If your Friendly URL is working but in your Back-Office/Advance Parameters/Performance you see a warning that says "No URL rewriting (mod_rewrite) is not active on your server, or it is not possible to check your server configuration." Then the problem is not due to mod_rewrite. Some hosting servers have security features that do not allow PrestaShop to check your server configuration. If Friendly URL works, then mod_rewrite is installed correctly.
- Incorrect Custom URL Route - If you received the 404 error after you created a Custom URL route for your pages in your Back Office/Preferences/SEO & URLs , (Must have Friendly URL active and enabled). There is a strong chance that your custom route was not inputted correctly.
When in doubt: ask our PrestaShop forum
Once you get more information about the error, it is always a good idea to search the error in Google (Tip: Add the word "PrestaShop" to your search and hone-in on the problem.)
You will find a plethora of information and tutorials about your error. Without a doubt, you will find some PrestaShop Forum threads with the [SOLVED] tag by them. Make sure to take the time to read those first.
If you cannot solve the problem after reading this post, researching on the internet and working with your Webmaster/hosting provider, you should definitely take the time to register and post on the PrestaShop Forums.
Please open a thread on the forum and our expert team of Community Mangers and Moderators will answer you. There you have it; if you follow these steps and suggestions you should be able to troubleshoot most all 404 Not Found Error pages.
Whether you are a customer on an Ecommerce website or the online store's owner, a 404 Error can be slippery to find the cause and solve it.
With the knowledge you learned today, you are well prepared to navigate and solve any 404 Not Found error.

The now-infamous 47 percent video – secretly taped at a Mitt Romney donor event in May – is still reverberating in media circles as well as political ones.
Mother Jones, which posted the full version of the video Tuesday, enjoyed one of its best days online, according to Clara Jeffery, one of the magazine's co-editors. James Carter IV, the unemployed researcher who helped bring the video to light, received a congratulatory note from his grandfather, the former president Jimmy Carter. (Earlier, Ben Smith at BuzzFeed chronicled the video's long strange trip to Mother Jones.)
President Obama had a public opportunity to respond to the video during his appearance on "Late Show" with David Letterman, saying that Mr. Romney "was writing off a big chunk of the country." As Bill Carter reports, the host also managed a reference to Clint Eastwood's performance at the Republican National Convention and "got an immediate laugh by noting the empty spot next to the president and asking: 'Is there anything you want to say to the empty chair?'"
Barry Diller, the chief of IAC/InterActiveCorp, and Scott Rudin, the Broadway and Hollywood impresario, are getting into the e-book business. The pair have teamed up with Frances Coady, a publishing industry veteran, to invest in The Atavist, the Brooklyn-based electronic book publisher. The new venture, called Brightline, will look to eventually publish physical books as well.
Apple, which has aggressively gone after its rivals in commercials like "1984" and its series of "Mac vs. PC" ads, is now on the receiving end. Samsung, which recently lost a billion dollar patent case to Apple, has been taking direct aim at the new iPhone in a series of print ads, including one with the headline "It doesn't take a genius." On the blog Gizmodo, Apple fans immediately began retaliating with their own parodies based on the Samsung ads, one with the headline "Don't settle for cheap plastic."
The magazine Closer, which recently published topless photos of Kate Middleton, has been ordered by a French court to stop all distribution of the pictures and to hand over the originals to the royal family.
Also in France, the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo has published cartoons mocking the prophet Muhammad, setting off another wave of protests in the Middle East. In New York ads calling Islamic jihad "savage," will soon appear in subways after a federal court ruled that the transit authority could not refuse the ads, which were purchased by the American Freedom Defense Initiative, a pro-Israeli group.
NBC's hit show "The Voice" will add Usher and Shakira as stand-in judges while two of the show's biggest stars, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green, take one season off to record and tour.
And Steve Sabol, for years the creative force behind NFL Films, the revered and much satirized chronicler of the football league, has died at the age of 69.
