A lot of men and women turn into landlords because it seems like a great method to make some excess income. So long as you retain the assets up,landlord building insurance cost? and also you are selective about who you let lease the location, you may have the opportunity to produce an earnings stream that permits you live really easily.
However, in the event you undoubtedly are a landlord, and also you have not nevertheless started out an insurance plan policy, you are only environment by yourself up for catastrophe.
Educate Yourself:
It is vital to go looking about for insurance plan protection right before you select an organization to begin your coverage, just therefore you know very well what kinds of pricing and terms you are looking at. To be a landlord, you may have the predicament of choosing the right insurance plan protection that could don't just be cost-effective, but which will make sure your financial commitment is totally safe. At the time you recognize what varieties of pricing and phrases to search for, you are going to be significantly better prepared to discover an insurance plan coverage that fits your needs.
Safeguarding Your Investment decision:
When you undoubtedly are a landlord, you might be trusting men and women you do not seriously know to help keep your house as good as possible. The insurance plan will cover you from struggling any monetary losses in case your home is ever damaged or in the circumstance that it gets to be uninhabitable in almost any way.
To be a landlord, you may need to create confident you might be acquiring an excellent return on your own expenditure. Whilst insurance plan won't be able to prevent from owning an empty house or vacant flats, the coverage will make sure you have got income coming in whenever you absolutely can't lease out your home.
To start with Matters 1st:
It is recommended which the very first thing you are doing when you acquire your rental house should be to safe the right coverage plan. Regrettably, most landlords dismiss landlord's insurance policy because they consider it's a waste of cash, or because they make your mind up they can reach it later on once hire starts off coming in. But when you decide on to hire out your assets and also you don't have insurance plan, you only could regret it afterwards on.
Tenant Destruction:
The main reason why you may choose to get landlord coverage is due to any problems tenants may perhaps result in although they are leasing your house. You'd be surprised on the issues tenants can do in terms of earning a building uninhabitable. It is best to safeguard by yourself 'just in case'.
Unavoidable Disasters:
An additional explanation why you can would like to get coverage for landlords is simply because you in no way know when a all-natural disaster like a flood, fire, earthquake (and indeed, they are doing happen during the Uk!), storm or something else will render your own home not able to be rented out.
Every single landlord coverage plan will come with more possibilities that you will want to consider. These will range depending on which insurance plan businesses you decide on, but some of these extras include hire warranty, contents insurance plan and lawful bills insurance coverage.The underside line is that if you really are a landlord, you'll not want to by-pass the right insurance plan except if you'd like to live to regret it afterwards on.

Early diagnosis of a disease process can lead your pet to a longer healthier life. For example; Kidney disease, if diagnosed early, will allow us to modify your dog or cat's diet and in some cases add supplements to their diet to potentially extend their lives.

Kanchan Bhattacharya Though this is a poem of hope, the tragedy is many fold. On one side a nation watches its own populace becoming victim to political expediency, on the other hand, a malicious breed spills over from its home and invades through asylum, grows and rebels against the very nation that shelters them. It is a shame. The KP's loss of homeland is a vendetta.

THE generality of literary men who have mentioned "The Spirit of Laws," having rather endeavored to criticise it than to give a just idea of it, we shall endeavor to supply what they ought to have done, and to explain its plan, its nature, and its objects. Those who may think this Analysis too long will, perhaps, be of opinion, after having read it, that there was no other way of making the author's method properly understood. It ought also to be remembered that the history of celebrated writers is little more than that of their thoughts and their works, and that this part of their history is the most essential and most useful.
BOOK I. --Men in the state of nature, abstracted from all religion, in those disputes which they may have, know no other law than that of all animals, the right of the strongest; the establishment of society ought to be regarded as a kind of treaty against this unjust title--a treaty destined to establish a sort of balance between the different divisions of the human race.
But it happens in the moral, as in the physical equilibrium, that it is seldom perfect and stable, and the treaties of the human race are like treaties among our princes--perpetual sources of dispute. Interest, necessity, and pleasure made men associate together. The same motives urge them continually to desire the advantages of society without the burdens of it; and it is in this sense that we may say with our author that men, from the time they enter society, are in a state of war. For war sup. poses in those who make it, if not an equality of strength, at least an assumption of this equality: whence arise the mutual desire and hope of conquest. Now, in a state of society, if the balance among men be never perfect, neither is it, on the other hand, very unequal. But, in a state of nature, on the contrary, they would either have nothing to dispute about, or, if neces-

Tuesday's Tip - Meal Plan
What's the very best way to save money on groceries? Have a plan! If you're trying to save money this is the very first step. As Maria in Sound of Music would say, "Let's start at the very beginning. A very good place to start." Make out a week or month of meal ideas(whichever works for you because remember this?). Check your cupboards to see what you need to buy to make the meals on your list. As you become better at this you will try to use what is in your cupboards or what is on sale, however, if you've never made a menu plan before it alone will save you money. There aren't anymore, "I don't know what to make tonight, let's run to McDonald's." I've been there, I know! Ask your family for ideas of their favorite meals and go from there. Also, if you go out to eat a lot, buy convenience foods to start. Later you can make more things from scratch as you get the hang of things. For Frugal Living to become part of your life, go slowly. Every month add something new that will save you money and before you know it, you too, will be a True Home Economist!

Are your kids constantly sick? How to avoid having your kids catch a head cold
Tips for a healthy, happy child
It's that time of year again – flu and cold season! If you don't want your kids coming home with a head cold and infecting the rest of your family, take these tips to mind.
Teach them how to wash their hands
Hand washing with soap is one of the best defenses your kids have against common colds, viruses and the flu. Teach them to sing the alphabet song or "row, row, row your boat" while they're washing so they know how long they should soap up for. It's fun and it'll make your kids more likely to actually wash their hands well. Washing hands with soap and water is a whole lot better than using antibacterial gel or hand sanitizer. Overusing antibacterial gel actually creates an environment that can create a super bug, one that is resistant to common meds and even antibacterial gel. You really won't want to get that bug when it comes around. Also, hand sanitizers take away the good bacteria that boost your immune system along with the bad.
Teach your kids to cover their noses and mouths when they sneeze or cough
This may not save your kids from a cold, but it will stop it from spreading to other kids. And if every parent instilled these skills into their kids, everyone would be a whole lot healthier. It's amazing how far sneezing and coughing can spread germs and bacteria. On the same note, tell your kids that they can and should avoid people who don't cover their noses and mouth when they sneeze or cough. They may feel rude doing so, but it will keep them healthier in the end.
Make sure your kids are getting enough sleep
Sleep is so under-appreciated, but going without enough sleep can cause serious problems for your kid's immune system. Sleeping allows your kid's body to rest and recharge so it's strong enough to fight off the bugs it comes up against during the day. After all, kids should sleep 8-12 hours a day. More hours of sleep is needed for younger kids; less hours for older kids.
Encourage a better diet
Asking your kids to eat their fruits and veggies is probably an uphill battle. Given the amazing, cold-fighting powers that most fruits and vegetables have, this is one battle you need to win. Fruits and vegetables are loaded with immune-boosting vitamins and nutrients, like vitamin C. Getting these nutrients from food allows them to be absorbed better in the body than having your kids swallow vitamins. Eating a fruit at breakfast, one at lunch, and another for a snack are great, easy ways to get enough fruits in the day. Oranges and grapefruit are especially good for the immune system with a lot of vitamin C.
Exercise helps boost the immune system
Even if your kids have gym and recess during school, consider getting them into an extracurricular sport as well. Making sure your kids are active and exercising will boost their immune system and make them strong enough to fight off infections. Lots of exercise also helps kids sleep better at night, getting more hours of sleep in. So it's a win-win.
Using these tips as a family will help keep not only your kids free of a head cold, but also you and your spouse healthier and happier.

Radical ForgivenessJane, age 23 (same age as Amethyst) and Ka'traix, age 27 (same age as Andrew) were married in 2008. Another commonality that they shared with us. They started their family immediately, as is commonly done in Congolese culture. They were intercessors with the local Pentecostal church in their village, sometimes spending all night in the church praying.
But only a few months after their second child, Ushindi (Swahili for victory), was born. The unthinkable happened.
Rebels invaded their village on a violent rampage.
Grabbing their 3-year-old son and less then a year old baby the couple fled into the bush to watch in silence as the rest of their family was slaughtered with machetes.
The couple escaped with the clothes on their back and their two children. After walking for more than 50 miles and hitching rides from various passerbys, the couple found their way to an internally displaced people (IDP) camp, where they were able to make a small house out of tarps and share food with generous neighbors (who were also internally displaced).
Andrew, two young visitors and myself were visiting the IDP camp only a week ago, when we discovered Jane and Ka'traix. I was sitting in a tent with a Mama who was telling me the story of how she had been raped and was now disowned by her husband, when suddenly Jane walked into the tent.
She sat by the discouraged Mama as we ministered to her and prayed for her. But as I prayed for the Mama, I saw that the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jane. I began to prophecy over Jane, not knowing anything about this lady.
She then took me to her tent where her husband had a prayer request.
"We need forgiveness," they told us. "Our family was killed with machetes and we were angry, we spoke hateful things against the soldiers who did it."
The couple genuinely felt that they needed to forgive, so that they could be forgiven.
"How long ago did this happen?" We asked them after they told us their story.
"Almost two weeks ago."
It was then that I knew why the Spirit of the Lord was upon this woman, Jane. It was because of her willingness to supernaturally forgive.
Andrew and I have had a heavy burden for this couple. We helped them buy food for that week and have continued to meet with them since then, and have bought the family some new clothes.
Our last meeting, the couple told me that they are going to try to go back to the village. They explained that there was nothing for them in that camp and that they hated it there. They would walk back home and if it had at least minimal security, they would try to restart their lives.
We prayed for each other and this time, they prophesied over me.
All around the world, the church and every institution known to man… we debate what does love look like? How can it be an agent of change in this world?
Well, I'm privileged and honored to say that, this indeed, is what love looks like. The beautiful young couple who has chosen to free themselves of hate and destruction, look into the future without fear and walk the path of healing and rebuilding their village.
We plan to stop at the camp soon to see if Jane and Ka'traix have gone back home. I don't know if we'll see them again. But I know that the short-lived relationship we've had with them… is indeed what heaven looks like.

Top Flange Hanger With Strengthening Embossment
Structural connector for connecting first and second structural members has a substantially planar first flange and an embossment in the first flange, and the embossment in the first flange is formed with first and second sections.
The first section generally extending uniformly to a first level above the top surface of the substantially planar first flange, that is different from a level to which the second section generally uniformly extends, the first and second sections being joined to each other at a distinct transition portion where the embossment sharply descends from the level of the first section to the level of the second section. The structural connector can be made with a bend that forms a first member adjacent the first flange and the embossment can extend through the bend into the first member.
The structural connector of the present invention has particular application in the field of structural hangers where an elongated, generally horizontally disposed structural member is hung from a supporting structure, both being part of thestructural frame of a building.
In light frame construction, it is common to hang the joists supporting the floors of the building from horizontally disposed members often called headers, beams or ledgers. The joists can be supported by hangers which are attached to theheaders, beams or ledgers. One type of hanger used is called a top flange hanger. A top flange hanger has a portion or member that rests on the top surface of the supporting structure, increasing the strength of the connection.
Unfortunately, the presence of the top flange can interfere with the setting of the sub-flooring members on top of the joists and the headers and ledgers. The top flanges create an unevenness in the surface upon which the sub-flooring isinstalled.
Preferably, the flat top surfaces of the joists, headers and ledgers will all be uniformly level and set at the same elevation, once the members are set in place, although deviations are often made to allow for shrinkage of members made from woodor having wood sub-components. Also, preferably, the sub-flooring used is made up of large sheets of relatively thin planar material, such as plywood or oriented strand board, that can be laid down on the level top surfaces of the headers and ledgersresulting in a uniformly flat surface for laying down the flooring.

This is Ed Bingle owner of Rods1. I have created this site and ecommerce to supply Antique and Vintage Parts to customers that are repairing and collecting old reels. I have an inventory of about 20,000 parts that are before 1959. I have about 20,00 parts that are after 1959. I am always looking and buying parts lots to build my inventory. As of now only about 10 % of that inventory is listed on this site. I made a point to always include a picture to each part. By doing this it is more time consuming and will require more time to post all the inventory that I have. 95% percent of this whole inventory is all new parts.
I have about 20,000 parts that need to be Identified. 95% percent of this whole inventory is all new parts.
In the near future I will be purchasing antique reels. (which a lot I have now) I will disassemble and sell for parts. When I post a part that is not new it will be posted that the part is from a used reel. On used parts the condition will be well stated.
Rods1 hopes to be the go to place for hard to find parts. Vintage parts that will bring life back into that great reel once again.
Thank You ED.
Rods1 has been cleaning and repairing reels for over thirty years. Our mission is to supply quality workmanship and professional care of all the reels that we work on.
Here you will see an inventory of old reels that are ready to fish with. Then you may see some that are being repaired. Reels displayed are owned by Rods1. Shakespeare, Johnson, Pflueger, Penn, Shimano, Quantum, Ocean City, Bronson, Julius Von Hofe, Sears, South Bend, Hendrix, Mitchel, Abu Garcia, Garcia, True Temper, Outdoor Hardware, Abbey & Imbrie, Horrocks – Ibbotson, Sage, Orvis, and many others. Old reels for collecting and fishing have two features. One is eye appeal and the second is function. The mechanics is the first parts of having a good reel for your collection or fishing passion. The second is that it looks good. Some people may want their reel to look old and dirty in the display. But most want a reel that looks clean and sparkle. At Rods1 we can do what you want with any reel for both the mechanics and the display look.
Finding some parts may be a challenge. Rods1 has many avenues in which to locate parts. Sometimes a better used part or an undamaged part is the best you can hope for. Rods1 will in some cases make a handle or part customized for a reel. NOTE: (If a reel has been altered or reel does not have original parts). This should be noted and tagged on reel. Rods1 will always note and describe reel condition on all reels.
When making a decision to spend money on a reel. Find out how much the reel is worth. Many production reels are of such a low value that fixing them may not be the best thing to do. In that same frame of thinking if you have a reel that fixed and cleaned is worth $30.00 and you only have to spend $10.00 to fix it. I would fix it and place it in your collection or sell for a small profit. Rods1 buys old reels for parts, so if you have any old reels you want to get rid of, contacts us email@example.com
Rods1 takes pride in customer service
Rods1 will do everything in its power to make a customer feel like they have had a good experience dealing with us.

There are tons of tutorials available online, this is true. However, these are usually accompanied by some sort of sales pitch, and there's usually some catch. Find out the truths behind website design by reading the following paragraphs.
Look at your site in multiple browsers when designing it. What you're seeing in one browser may not actually be what other people are seeing. Research all the commonly used browsers and design accordingly. It's also a good idea to send your website to someone who's using another operating system in order to see if their browser and yours are compatible.
Does your site pass the NoScript test? Download the extension to ensure your website is readable. While you may need to have some scripts running, you do not want to see a completely empty website if they are turned off.
Speed is king when it comes to webpages, so be sure that your images are loading quickly. Your visitors are more likely to lose interest in your website and leave the page if they have to wait for a few minutes before having access to the content.
Do not publish any site pages without verifying all the links are working. An error page after clicking a link is very frustrating for visitors to your page. Use a program or check links manually to be sure you have no broken links on your site.
Don't use lots of graphics. Even though graphics might give you a professional looking website, too many may result in a crowded site. Graphics should enhance what you have to say on your site. They shouldn't be put there to just look pretty. Your site may be easier to use with just the right amount of graphics.
Pop-ups should be given a wide swerve. This is one of those most hated marketing tactics on the web! It is not unusual for some people to refuse to stay on a website, and not return either, if it contains pop-up ads. Avoid using these irritating ads to keep your visitors happy. If your web hosting company requires the use of pop-ups, consider moving to a new host.
Free software exists that can help you set up your site. Though expensive software is certainly available, free products can work just as well when it comes to setting up and running your site. You just have to search a little to locate the free tools that best suit you.
Each topic needs its own page. When you focus on different discussion topics, give each one its own page. This ensures that no one ends up confused and leaves as a result. Search engines will also have an easier task of ranking specific pages.
Make sure you optimize your website for older Internet Explorer versions like IE7 and IE8. People usually say they hate Internet Explorer, but many people still use it. These require the use of some workarounds. You should read up on the frustrating "box model bug" that has plagued IE for a long time.
Know your niche. Good research will help you to create the ideal site. By providing your viewers with information that is murky or false, you lose traffic. Knowing your subject is important when making a good blog.
Test your site early and often. While you're designing the website,it is very important you perform the usability tests and website's user interaction as soon as you can. Make sure you continue to test it as you grow and improve your site.
Be certain to have a way to receive feedback from site users. This makes it easier to identify problem areas and to create a more user-friendly site. If a visitor feel involved, he or she will want to see your website again.
Basic design tools will get you started on your website, but you will want to add some custom options. Your site should reflect you and your personality, so you want to make sure it's not too generic.
Pop-up ads should never be included on your website. While PPC advertising might be a beneficial endeavor, annoying pop-up ads should definitely be avoided. This usually results in visitors not returning to your site. Keep the ads you do use simple; you don't need crazy pop-ups.
Adobe Dreamweaver is a great program to try if you need to create a website. Even if you are a beginner, you can easily use this program. It allows you a number of templates and potential layouts, and even tests what your possible site would look like online.
Adobe Dreamweaver can help you create a great site. Even amateurs can quickly get the hang of using this program. You can add features and use their various layouts and templates.
Proofreading your content will ensure that it does not looked rushed or amateur. You want people to breeze through it. Errors that appear on your site make the site appear unprofessional, and the credibility of the site is likely to take a hit.
Use your friends or colleagues as a source for refreshing your information from the various design elements you use. You want to make sure that all of the information that you learned was truly retained; the last thing you need is to be in the middle of making a site and become lost or confused.
HTML5 is a tool you are going to need to become familiar with. If you don't know what html5 is, then it is important that you buckle down and learn it so you can be the best at web design.
Ask someone to try out your website throughout the designing process. Impartial, unbiased feedback will help improve your site. Your readers will not appreciate it if they find something is slow, broken or crashes their browser. Always seek out different, outside opinions.
Doing research before implementing your web design in very important. Research your chosen niche so you can better reach your targeted audience. You need to design your website so it maximizes your efforts in bringing in your target audience. This will ensure that your design is efficient.
When you add videos to your site, remember that some people don't have high bandwidth. You may want to show them in high definition, but consider the cost your visitor will pay just to view them! This can mean a very slow loading time for the video, which will cause it to buffer frequently.
You should use a visible tagline for all your pages. These taglines should be in text that is large and bold so that they are the first thing a viewer will notice when he or she follows your links. It has to explain what the page is about so your visitor can quickly decide to stick around or not.
White space is actually essential in order to perfect website design. You don't want to clutter everything together and make it seem unorganized. It improves readability, gives your content the focus of the page and allows the mind of your reader to be relaxed and absorb what you're trying to get across.
Keep in mind that your entire website doesn't have to be all designed by you solo. Creating a comprehensive website will require knowledge in design, programming, interface, content and SEO. It's common to outsource some of this work, so don't feel ashamed to do so. If you are not comfortable working on a certain aspect of your site, consider hiring a professional to offer assistance.
Website content should be available to all people. Have someone in another country try to access your site. Some of your content may not display the same way in different countries, so you might want to check this out.
Make use of a site map for your website. This accomplishes two purposes. They help anyone who visits the website obtain a quick overview. It lets them find what they want easier. Site maps are helpful for SEO. They make it easier for web crawlers to navigate and index your site.
Try finding some unique inspiration sources when you are designing a site. Great places to look are anywhere that presents visual material like mags, your favorite TV shows or displays in stores as these all may give a fresh idea. There are a lot of new ideas just waiting for you, and these can lead to a unique website that will have potential customers clamoring for your services.
You must know your new technologies in order to keep up with web design. Websites are replacing brick and mortar companies more and more, becoming the future of business. Websites are an excellent source of revenue for any business and need to look professional and up to date.
Learn all about CSS, or cascading style sheet. There is HTML, but there is also the heavy lifting that CSS does for design. The style sheets are actually great formatting reference guides so that your website looks great over multiple pages. This can make things easy to change on the website. Then, if you feel like changing all of the font color to green (or purple), you only have to change one line of code.
Put your logo on the top of every one of your pages. Doing this makes it a simple matter to link the pages together, creating a coherent site. It boosts branding as well. Choose a logo which represents what your company stands for.
Your logo should be near the top of all of your pages. You can link every page with a logo and turn your site into one entity. It also helps visitors remember your website. Try incorporating what your business stands for in your logo.
For the typical website, keep your background colors neutral. Textured backgrounds can be hard to read. Use a plain background of a neutral color such as white. Studies indicate that text set against neutral colors such as these are easiest to read.
If your website is a commercial website, your best option is to avoid free web hosts. While free sounds good, these hosts have many ads that you cannot control, which they load on your site. This will cause you to make sacrifices in your business ethic and design, and customers will shy away from your sites.
If your target audience is local, think about buying a top level domain in your country code. You are ensured of getting a domain name in a certain part of the world this way. A ccTLD is useful in routing local visitors to your website, who may not be able to find it using other means.
Make it simple for your readers to share your content on social network sites by providing the appropriate links. You will gain valuable visitors to your site, as well as increased awareness of what you have to offer.
Make sure that you thoroughly check the code on each webpage that you design. Easy-to-use WYSIWYG web editing programs tend to burden your pages with junk code that is extraneous or even harmful. If those programs are used, be sure that you take the extra effort of utilizing a validation service to validate your code. There is a free service available to do this through W3C.
Free web hosting is not intended for a commercial website. If you are attempting to sell a product, or some type of service, it is not professional to have your message being overwhelmed by non-associated advertising. You will be much better off to use a hosting service that you have paid for.
Add human personality to the website design. Make sure to include things on your site such as testimonials, customer reviews and company exposure. These little touches go a long way to give a site personality. Your business will appear better to visitors, and this is the first step to building a great customer base.
As you begin learning, all the pieces will fall into place. You need the puzzle pieces placed before you, and that's what these tips are. Once you've read the article above once more, you'll be ready to piece your website together and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Remember to sprinkle keywords liberally on every page of your website. The most effective websites are both attractive and effective. You must determine what target group you wish to attract to your site. What are the terms that will provoke the strongest, most positive response from your target audience? Find three to five keywords and layer them throughout your design.

Marxism and censorship
I am interested to see the views on the Stephen Lawrence case published on the Spiked website by Brendan O'Neill1 and Mick Hume.2 Before discussing those articles, I should explain why I have mixed feelings about Spiked and associated groups, including the Institute of Ideas. My feelings with regards to them are mixed, but largely positive. They are one of the few groups standing up for freedom from state control in an intelligent way, and we need all the allies we can get. So I welcome their regularly updated website, www.spiked-online.com, which holds articles on an astonishing array of subjects. One can with profit spend many hours on that website, and in a day when Internet browsing can easily become a bored surfing from site to site, that cannot be said of many sites.
My mixed feelings relate to the fact that in an earlier incarnation I was a supporter of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RCP), which published a well-argued and interesting magazine, Living Marxism, later LM, before having to close down as the result of a libel verdict pursued by ITN (the details of which are well worth examining; personally, I feel that LM was unlucky to have lost the case, but all such cases are rather unfairly adjudicated). The decision that the objective circumstances for revolutionary politics did not exist in Britain (apologies to LM or anyone else if I have poorly remembered the reasons for the closure of the party in 1997) showed this group was rather unusual in being able to "think outside the left-wing box" and draw interesting conclusions from the changes in the world in the early 1990s. Following the final closure of LM magazine in 2000, the online magazine Spiked was set up, giving the group a new platform for their views, and in the years since then Spiked has gained something of a reputation for libertarianism.
Despite its opposition to the bourgeois state, freedom from the state is not a logical consequence of Marxist thought. I remember one of the members of the RCP arguing that "after the revolution", all sorts of censorship and repression would be used to reorient social discussion and close down opposition. Lenin himself was unabashed about the use of state power. And yet for around two decades, the people who are now grouped (very loosely) around Spiked have argued against mindless calls to give "no platform" to anyone who could be painted as "Fascist and Racist" (Fascist with a capital F and Racist with capital R because these are contentless labels), partly because such calls allow the authorities to direct social discussion, and if they bar one group's political ideas, then they can bar another's. They also appear to believe that the "Racists and Fascists" hold viewpoints that are scarcely credible and easily defeated in the full glare of argument, and so there is little to be gained from not thrashing out ideas; indeed, the failure to do so can allow non-progressive assumptions to reign unchallenged.
From a people to a population
There is some confusion in Spiked's ideas: their assumption seems to be that it is possible to argue for immigration and anti-racism without enforcement by the state or other official bodies exercising a censorship over self-expression on the subject. In fact, state intervention is crucial to the project. To create a society with no common culture, where groups are enabled to replicate their ancestral cultures and carry on as if they were not in England; to create a society where violent crime by immigrant groups may not be openly discussed; and to insist that no ethnic group has a prior claim to the country: all this requires state repression. I lived for four years of my life in China, but it never occurred to me to claim that China does not belong to the Chinese, or that all human beings have an equal claim to every square inch of the earth, regardless of the achievements of long-standing settled societies there. To do so would be to express racial prejudice in fact – to deny others the right to claim their sods of earth and to create societies in their territories that reflect their cultures.
Of course, Spiked would claim that it does not support the politics of identity, and that it stands for humanism, rather than narrow nationalism. However, this is either a coy support for the dispossession of the English nation, or it is a nonsense trussed up as theory. No one can love the whole of Humanity (capital H required here too) equally. The Human Race is just an abstraction, or, to use the terminology of the far left, it is a social construct. If nations are imagined communities, based on real cultural connections and allegiances, then how much more illusory is the imagined Human Race? What unites the Human Race? Simply that we all have two legs? If our cultures are distinct, then a common identity across the Human Race has to be a thin thing indeed, as many have noticed with the multiculturalism promoted by bureaucracies in the West. "Humanity" has too much of a whiff of synthetic and sanctimonious piety about it. Even those who claim to support Humanity could not feasibly warm to all human societies. Place Mick Hume or Brendan O'Neill next to a barbaric "female circumcision" ceremony in Somalia, and they might find it within themselves to object to Somali culture (and thus, logically, given that cultures are the values of the people that adhere to them, to Somali people themselves).
It is, of course, likely that there is no way back to a society united on the basis of England's traditional identity, but that is a problem that in itself stands in the way of freedom in England today. Reduced from a people to a mere population, there is nothing that unites England today, other than our exposure to intervention by the same bureaucratic machine. Where there is no society, the state grows to assume a dominant role, arguing that social fragmentation forces it to intervene to regulate the fragmented lower orders. No one should suppose that a loss of a country's identity is the natural consequence of a globalised world. Hong Kong is one of the most globalised economies in the world: Hong Kong has strong trade and investment ties with all other economies; people from all over the world work in Hong Kong; and people from all over the world visit Hong Kong, a free port, without the inconvenience of having to apply for visas. And yet Hong Kong remains 97% Chinese. Maybe it is because Hong Kong does not promote multiculturalism, requires overseas workers to be highly skilled and does not allow the entire Indian subcontinent to apply for welfare upon arrival in the territory. Ditto for Japan, China, Taiwan, South Korea, etc.
The decision to become a multi-ethnic society is a policy choice, and it is one that Spiked supports. They have the society they always dreamed of: the right has been vanquished; the demographic realities on the ground have been totally altered; and those opposed to these developments have no voice, and indeed are subject to prosecution where they speak out! What is there not to like for the likes of Spiked? Apparently, official anti-racism has become a moral crusade that has taken the place of what Spiked sees as the erstwhile official promotion of racism, amounting to a new form of class prejudice, the despising of the Racism of the lower orders. According to this analysis, we seem to have successfully moved the cultural basis of the Establishment's rule on to new territory, but this time the role of democracy, free speech and freedom of expression seems to have been excised. A technocratic society has little need for popular participation.
Racism and power
Mick Hume explains that his earlier opposition to Racism was directed towards the 'official' kind, that racial prejudice was used to back up the rule of the British capitalist class in order to create ideological support to 'cohere' society under the rule of the powers-that-be. Hence, the reinvention of Racism as a viewpoint found only in the lower classes is a perversion of his concept: anti-racism was meant to weaken the hold of the authorities over society, not strengthen it. Brendan O'Neill echoes this viewpoint, claiming the authorities want to "redefine racism as a disease of the brain rather than as a relation of power".
There is so much wrong with this, it is difficult to know where to begin. The assertion that Racism is a "relation of power" is pure Marxist rhetoric; without this assertion, the Spiked viewpoint would disintegrate. Neither of the Spiked writers stop to examine whether support for the society around you is actually 'racism' (a word I can only understand as "hatred of those of other races") or a healthy phenomenon implying no hatred for others, and akin to the average person's support for his family's interests over those of strangers. Neither of them shows that Racism has its origin in an earlier period of promotion of the ideology by the British ruling class.
First, you would need to go back a long while to find a period when the state promoted racism, if it ever did. True, Britain was an imperial power, and the logic of imperial rule was in the inequality of the governed races, not in their supposed equality despite the disparity in their social, economic and cultural achievements. It was probably true that in the 19th century, imperial rule did give a sense of pride to lower-class Britons. But the state was so small – at times accounting for just 7% of GDP in the late 19th century – that you would be hard-pressed to show that the British state worked overtime to promote prejudice against the subject imperial nations among the lower orders. The working class had little interaction with the state in those days. There was no TV and no BBC, and while treason and sedition were crimes on the statute books (as they remain today), there was no attempt to officially enforce racialist views. Race was in fact an abstract category when England was more than 99% European in terms of its population. We are meant to believe that the British state was frenetically promoting prejudice against people in far-off countries who most English people would never come across. A more logical view is that pride in the British Empire was derived from its fact, the fact that a small dot in the North Atlantic had conquered one-quarter of the world, a feat that it could not have accomplished had Britain not been centuries ahead of the developing countries.
In the early 20th century, Antonio Gramsci argued that all societies have ruling elites and that all societies have cultures that prop up the rule of their elites. No ruling class can rule by a monopoly of violence alone, he argued, but by cultural hegemony, which induces society as a whole to support the elite's rule. These ideas were not new, being broadly in line with the ideas of Niccolò Macchiavelli in The Prince. However, it is one thing to show that an elite obtains social acceptance of its rule by supporting, or feigning support for, the society's culture – and quite another to show that that culture is created out of whole cloth in order to induce support for minority class rule. Historically, no society before Soviet Communism was able to develop the propaganda resources and means of social control to create a truly unfree state. Only in the modern period do you have states large enough to be able (as with multiculturalism in Britain today) to seek to reinvent society. If elites ruled by virtue of their support for the society around them, that represented the natural evolution of a society with cultural connections internally.
Patriotism and society
You have to presume that there is an essential antagonism in class society – a precept of Marxist dogma – before you begin to explore how a society creates compliance with the rule of an elite. Yet there is a fundamental distinction between a society with hardly anything in the way of a state structure – late 19th century England – where some people were rich, and a society where the state accounts for half of the entire economy, and the state bureaucracy is in itself a key means for personal self-advancement for a parasitical minority. The 19th century bourgeoisie – an economic elite whose position in society derived from their entrepreneurialism and not from their political propaganda – did not cast around in an artificial way for cultural theories with which to "cohere" society. People made their own luck, in a society with considerable social mobility and no means for government promotion of "opportunity for all". While strikes and labour unrest among the disadvantaged were of concern to the government, the ultimate tendency of capitalism was to raise average living standards. The advent of democracy aimed to give all Britons a stake in society, and as revolutionaries such as Gramsci found out internal cultural connections in most European countries made violent revolutions rare and unlikely events.
Patriotism, far from being a tool for the bourgeoisie to dominate society in its own interests, was a means whereby society kept a hold on its rulers. Demands for social reform were a demand for patriotism among the ruling elite. If we consider how the White Australia policy was supported by generations of workers in Australia, we can see that patriotism sought to keep the rulers operating in the interests of society as a whole, rather than bringing cheap labour to undercut the working man and divide society. If we see today how our rulers have abandoned support for our society, often encouraging immigration, rule by foreign bureaucracies and pointless adventures to "spread democracy", it is clear that patriotism and other moral values used to be a binding force on the so-called bourgeoisie, and not a binding force to keep the lower orders in line. Mick Hume explains:
Thirty years ago when I joined a group called Workers Against Racism, there was no sympathetic media coverage or mainstream political support for the Asian families being burnt out of housing estates or the black youth being routinely brutalised by the police. The national debate was all about the scourge of 'immigrant scroungers' and black 'muggers'. Those who fought against racists were branded extremists, the flipside of the fascists.
This presentation requires heavy subtext. The national debate was about immigrant scroungers, because immigrant scroungers were flooding in in large numbers, although it must be admitted that the numbers back then in the 1980s were a small fraction of the numbers that have been flooding in ever since. The debate about black muggers reflected … (surprise, surprise) the high proportion of muggings by black youths. Support for England's being English was something that working men traditionally sought in their ruling classes, not because they were duped into not being internationalist by a ruling class that sought to divide up Humanity in order to rule us, but because a decent society needs to conduct its affairs on the basis of a recognition of common origin and common interests by the rulers and the ruled. Where the rulers can allow the ingress of millions of unskilled labourers, they are showing as plain as they can that they are not accountable to their own lower orders. They will keep the wages low, and there is nothing the workers can do about it. And they will culturally divide the ruled in a way that allows for an industry in social propaganda to install itself in every workplace, school and even living room.
Immigration and propaganda
Immigration is not just about cheap labour, of course. It is also a moral project. Communism, atheism, the rise of the developing world – all these have weakened elite belief in the national cultures of Western societies. Multiculturalism began to be implemented, not because patriotism no longer worked as a cohering value with which to con the workers, but because the Establishment no longer believed in society's values. As O'Neill says, "the Lawrence murder became a significant turning point in the way in which the white working classes were discussed and understood – and feared", precisely because large swathes of the 'white' working class would still be interested in England's being a nation-state, which is in turn because the elite's project of multiculturalism runs directly contrary to the interests of the English working class (dubbed "white" by left-wing commentators, although the point is not that we are white, but that this is our country). The workers have been brought along more sullenly into the multicultural paradise that increasing numbers of senior state personnel have sought to promote, until today, where the promotion of this cultural shift is now compulsory for all state bureaucrats.
Democracy becomes impossible where the political elite is united in a project to reform society demographically. Much of social policy is off-limits to political debate. Public broadcasting is used for the strong promotion of tendentious views. As every single workplace, school and club of any type is now required to promote the multicultural agenda, people are strongly deterred from expressing themselves on cultural topics. The elections still take place, but the content has been removed. One example of the way in which politics is constrained is the prevention of social discussion of the ethnic involvement in crime. It has become apparent that the police only exist in England today to promote the great experiment of creating a multi-ethnic society, and the suppression of crime is no longer really on their agenda.
Given that the immigration we have had to absorb has been to the detriment of the long-standing population, in terms of welfarism, crime, our subjection to constant propaganda and the ruthless excision of anything revealing England to have a culture (which would also reveal the English to be an ethnic group, and not just "white" people), it is unsurprising that at a slightly less extreme phase in the demographic shift there was a national debate about the scourge of immigrant scroungers and black muggers. We have now moved on to the more advanced phase, where we cannot even discuss what is happening to our society. The fact that the police were – in Mick Hume's words – "brutalising black youths" merely shows that, back then, there was still some social pressure on the police to fish where the fish were, to prevent black crime from having a greater impact on the host community, whereas, by now, we are expected to have become accustomed to a decaying social fabric and hence to keep quiet. Mick Hume's article is devoid of any explanation as to why PC Blakelock's killers roam free, while two men who are not proven to have had a connection to the killing of Stephen Lawrence are behind bars.
If Mick Hume is right that in the 1980s there was "deliberate, politicised and vitriolic racism, popularised from the top down and enforced by the state as a weapon to divide the working class and consolidate white support for the authorities", it is only because white support was only available for the authorities when they showed themselves to be on the side of the existing community. In fact, contrary to what Mick Hume claims, the government has long been opposed to the nationalism of the English working classes, and a firmer stance against black crime has long been coupled with policies to allow refugees and secondary immigrants to arrive in Britain unchecked in terms of numbers, at the same time that propaganda units in all state bodies to promote "anti-racism" were being set up. Is Mick Hume unaware that so-called Racism had been outlawed under the Race Relations Act of 1965? Back as far as 1965, before my birth, the state was already trying to force the population to accept a planned demographic change. Those like Enoch Powell who claimed there might be three million people of New Commonwealth descent in Britain by the end of the 20th century were vocally condemned (by Mick Hume, along with the Establishment press) for Racism. And yet the official figure is north of nine million today.3 How does Spiked explain this?
Mick Hume goes on:
What has happened over the past two decades is that Britain has undergone a major cultural shift as the old politics of nationalism and race have lost their grip on public consciousness. This would have happened whether or not Stephen Lawrence had been murdered by racists. Indeed, the fact that his killing remains the benchmark for racist violence 19 years on shows how rare such incidents have become.
It is difficult to deny that the younger generation are not captivated by what Hume claims was the "old politics of nationalism and race", although support for the demographic change is more sullen and passive than Hume admits. Hume does not tarry to investigate whether state propaganda of an almost blanket nature has driven acceptance of the state's agenda. Has he ever watched Eastenders or noted how most television programmes seem to be used as a vehicle for the state's cultural messages today? Marxists used to speak of "false consciousness". Well, is it not false consciousness for official figures to show the heavy and disproportionate ethnic involvement in crime, when the average English person instantly blurts out that it is not true when confronted with the facts? Is it not false consciousness to force yourself not to notice that it is the English and English culture that are on the receiving end of prejudice in England today? Many are afraid to think of inconvenient facts lest they end up thinking the wrong thoughts. It is only an abuse of state power that can make an untruth stick. It is true that many of the young are prepared to mouth the nostrums of multiculturalism, but it is not the case that an integrated new society, with a new common culture, has been created – which is what Hume needs to show in order to praise the "major cultural shift" that has happened. If we were gradually creating a new culture that united society on a new basis, attempts to oppose it by conservatives would be quixotic. But in the end all Hume shows is that the technocracy has had its way and created a society that requires constant state management of inter-cultural issues.
As Hume says, "racist" killings of ethnic-minority individuals are extraordinarily rare – and there is no reliable evidence that Stephen Lawrence was killed on account of his race. Racially motivated killings of British people are considerably more frequent, but I do not think Spiked will be launching campaigns to publicise this. Richard Everitt, Ross Parker, Kriss Donald, Gavin Hopley and others are among the unknown victims. I personally would feel uncomfortable for English people to take up the victim mantle – as I think it is more appropriate for us to claim England as ours because we are English than to claim it because we are victims, but it is worth pointing out that there are many English victims of extreme racial prejudice whose names and cases are of no interest either to Spiked or to the Establishment press.
Hume continues:
The truth is that the less overtly racist British society has become in recent times, the more the authorities have started preaching about the evils of racism and launching new crusades against it. What has altered most is the perception of racism. Where once it was society's guilty secret, now there is a concerted effort to trawl for and publicise any hint of racially incorrect language or behaviour from the school playground to the football pitch. The less racism is in evidence, the more everything appears to have been racialised.
When Hume says that British society was "overtly racist", he could just as easily have chosen to say that Britain was a free society, where free expression of the view that the authorities should not be trying to change the ethnic identity of the population was common. That is not racism; that is the normal expression of solidarity with one's society expressed by any normal person. Even racially inflammatory comments and behaviour amount to merely an inchoate reaction to what is happening to our society, although genuine racial hatred is rare among the majority English community (and far from rare among the ethnic minorities, whose unjustified sense of grievance is officially fostered). By tolerating everything culturally, we stand for nothing. We are being asked to become cardboard cut-outs of people, with no views or loyalties, rather than people with genuine passions and adherences, along the lines of the becalmed population created by the authorities in the film Equilibrium. In a free society, people are more than walking-and-talking tolerance machines: they have real views and express them, and it is this that Hume describes as "overt racism".
Along with millions of other English people, I have no axe to grind against individual people of other ethnicities, as long as they remain in their own countries and are not trying to take over England. It is absurd to claim that this expression of "ownership" of England is itself motivated by prejudice. Does Mick Hume open his home as a hostel to all the homeless? If not, is that because he is denying the equal worth of all human beings and expressing contempt towards them? Is he violating his own expressed support for Humanity with a capital H? Or is it simply because he needs his space as a human being to live the way he chooses to live and wishes others well to find their own spaces and ways of life without intruding on him? The same principle applies to the nation. People who come here – ideally, people who arrive here with strong democratic support for their arrival, which can only be obtained where a frank national discussion on the issue is permitted – should join our culture, not bring theirs with them. Logically, they will recreate their cultures in England if their numbers reach critical mass, which means only a low number of immigrants can be easily integrated.
O'Neill says Racism has been "thoroughly reconceptualised, turned from an ideological thing into a kind of instinctive tick, from a tool of the powerful into a disease amongst the powerless". What about the "powerless" – among whom I have to number myself – who do not feel any "hatred" for people of other races, but for whom a nation-state is an ideological thing, because I want to live in a democracy and in a society that feels like a society where there is something in common between ruler and ruled? In a society where instinctive support for the country and people around you is not penalised by the state? Where the rulers also feel instinctive support for their own lower orders? Where freedom of speech, expression and association are taken for granted?
Perhaps beaten, but never silent
Of course I realise that there is little likelihood of a reversal of the state's cultural policies, which means that a divided society has been successfully created, apparently giving the technocracy a permanent role in society. But the fact that what has been done will not be reversed does not mean we should surrender our right to freedom of expression on the subject for ever more. I would like to see official promotion of multiculturalism stop, all the discrimination tribunals closed down, and the ethnic minorities told they will no longer be allowed to be "more equal" in our society. If the demographic change could be stabilised at current levels, with an end to the propaganda element and the constant negativity of the discussion of race and culture, I suppose many English people would see that as an improvement they could live with. Ironically, if this happened and people felt free once again to voice their views on a range of racial and cultural issues, Spiked might find that support for multiculturalism had been more superficial than they had supposed, leading them to editorialise about an upsurge in Racism once again.
So while I rave over the majority of Spiked articles, I cannot do so over the ones on race and immigration that still try to promote the anti-racist agenda while claiming to oppose the moral crusade against the Racist 'white' working class. The real reason Mick Hume and LM promoted the idea that Racism was a state-backed ideology to con the workers was because, as Marxists, they believed that the workers of all nations had more in common with each other than with their rulers. Workers of the world, unite! and all that. Yet Humanity is an abstraction, as proven by the failure of the international revolution to take place in the early 20th century. A Humanist agenda with no plan for international revolution, as still plugged by Spiked, seems like a stance on race and immigration that has forgotten its original rationale. Hume and O'Neill clearly back the state's views on race and immigration, while posing as opponents of the way race has become a moral crusade against the workers. And yet, without the state's adoption and enforcement of this agenda, the cultural shift Spiked welcomes would not have happened. Without state propaganda, the somewhat passive acquiescence of the young would not have happened either. The only way that multiracialism could have been enforced is via the ideological interests of the ruling minority supported by an over-large state. It's called preventing democracy and preventing liberty, with a cast of hangers-on made up of moralising enthusiasts and advocates for cheap labour in tow: to support the technocratic agenda, but not the technocracy, is simply confused, and yet that is where Spiked is.

Intravenous literature: Leistner, R., Thürnagel, S., Schwab, F., Piening, B., Gastmeier, P. and Geffers, C. (2013) The impact of staffing on central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections in preterm neonates – results of nation-wide cohort study in Germany. Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control. 2(11).
Background: Very low birthweight (VLBW) newborns on neonatal intensive care units (NICU) are at increased risk for developing central venous catheter-associated bloodstream infections (CVC BSI). In addition to the established intrinsic risk factors of VLBW newborns, it is still not clear which process and structure parameters within NICUs influence the prevalence of CVC BSI.
Methods: The study population consisted of VLBW newborns from NICUs that participated in the German nosocomial infection surveillance system for preterm infants (NEO-KISS) from January 2008 to June 2009. Structure and process parameters of NICUs were obtained by a questionnaire-based enquiry. Patient based date and the occurrence of BSI derived from the NEO-KISS database. The association between the requested parameters and the occurrance of CVC BSI and laboratory-confirmed BSI was analyzed by generalized estimating equations.
Results: We analyzed data on 5,586 VLBW infants from 108 NICUs and found 954 BSI cases in 847 infants. Of all BSI cases, 414 (43%) were CVC-associated. The pooled incidence density of CVC BSI was 8.3 per 1,000 CVC days. The pooled CVC utilization ratio was 24.3 CVC-days per 100 patient days. A low realized staffing rate lead to an increased risk of CVC BSI (OR 1.47; p=0.008) and also of laboratory-confirmed CVC BSI (OR 1.78; p=0.028).
Conclusions: Our findings show that low levels of realized staffing are associated with increased rates of CVC BSI on NICUs. Further studies are necessary to determine a threshold that should not be undercut.

with this MERIDEN MODEL 35!
This one goes back a ways, a Meriden side-by-side 12-gauge. The Meriden Fire Arms Company was started by Sears and Roebuck's because of Winchesters refusal to sell firearms to them. Meriden firearms were well-made and reliable, and priced for the "budget-minded" consumer. (some models sold for less than five dollars in the early 20th century). This example features 28-inch Modified & Full-choke barrels and a nicely-aged walnut stock with a 14.5-inch LOP. The buttstock has a 1.5-inch drop at the comb and a 2.5-inch drop at the heel. There is some light discoloration on the barrels, but, given its age, this shotgun is in quite good shape.

Rates and Random Thoughts
Here is the short and sweet on rates:
Groundfish: $1,100 Striper: $1,000 Tuna: $1,200 Shark: $1,250 Buzzards Bay half-days are $550. All Day Buzzards Bay is $900.
Open Boat fishing: $300 except tuna, which is $375 if there is three people or $325 if there are 4.
Really, I could talk all day.... I get thinking in the winter what I can do on the boat and it's a downward spiral. The last couple of years I have a flip flop on the "what's my best day on the water" thought... Tuna does come to mind...Is it the crazy run+gun, looking for busting fish? Is it the Wicked Tuna style of fishing with the big rods, looking for giant tuna... One is 100% adrenaline. The other is 100% anticipation....I love them both. The good thing about giant tuna fishing is that you can do it in much worse weather because you're just drifting. It's good to have options.

The edge: Buffalo vs Akron
An analysis on whether or not UB can get back on track this week
The UB football team started conference play in the midst of a three-game winning streak and looked like they were going to be able to make some noise in the Mid-American Conference. But the Buffalo Bulls (3-5, 1-3 Mid-American Conference) are now on a three-game losing skid.
It started with the seven-overtime marathon against Western Michigan and continued through last week when they fell to the Miami (OH) RedHawks 24-14. Injuries have been a huge issue for the Bulls causing freshman quarterback Kyle Vantrease to make his first start last week.
There are questions about who will start this week against the Akron Zips (4-4, 3-1 MAC). Head coach Lance Leipold said the team is the same position as last week and junior Drew Anderson will start if he's ready, otherwise Vantrease will make his second start. Here is The Spectrum's pre-game analysis.
Pass offense: Akron
Buffalo has managed to stay competitive with the pass offense no matter who is under center. Anderson's status wasn't clear in Tuesday's press conference. Assuming Vantrease is starting this week, Saturday will be a big test.
Akron has a much more settled situation. Senior Thomas Woodson has experience that includes a few starts from his freshman year for the Zips. Although he hasn't been perfect, his experience should allow him to outplay Vantrease.
Buffalo has the better pass catching unit. Junior Anthony Johnson is hands down the best receiver in this game and has more than double the yards of any Akron receiver. Akron has a deeper unit, but when Buffalo sophomore K.J. Osborn or senior Kamathi Holsey are in a groove, they are as good as anyone on Akron. Both teams have failed to get the tight ends thoroughly involved in the pass game.
The Zips take the edge in pass offense because of the amount of experience Woodson has. Vantrease hasn't had the time to develop as much chemistry with his receivers.
Rush offense: Buffalo
Neither team posts an impressive run offense. Both teams are bottom-five in the MAC in rushing yards, though the Bulls rank fourth in rushing touchdowns. The problem is that out of UB's 12 touchdowns, six came from players who will likely not see the field Sunday. Leipold confirmed Tuesday that junior running back Johnathan Hawkins is out for the rest of the year.
Redshirt sophomore Emmanuel Reed has taken up the bulk of the workload since Hawkins went down. He has almost 500 yards on the year and five touchdowns. But he picked up 371 of those yards during a three-game span, and only has 111 yards in the three games since.
The Zips are working with a running back by committee. Senior Warren Ball led the way for the first four weeks but suffered from a knee injury in week five. The team has had lower rushing numbers every week since the Bowling Green game that injured Ball.
Buffalo has a slight edge in this matchup. Reed is better than Morgan and Edwards and I think Saturday will allow Reed to get back into a rhythm.
Pass defense: Buffalo
This might be the most clear cut matchup in the game. Buffalo's pass defense has been great this season and is probably the strongest part of the team. The injury to junior cornerback Cameron Lewis doesn't help, but juniors Brandon Williams and Tatum Slack should be able to handle Akron.
Buffalo ranks second in the MAC in pass defense while Akron ranks second to last. They are allowing almost 80 more yards per game and have given up four more touchdowns on the year. The Zips have an advantage in interceptions and have double the amount of interceptions of the Bulls.
Despite Buffalo not causing as many turnovers, they have the better pass defense. They should make it a tough day for Woodson.
Rush defense: Akron
Neither teams' defense excels in the run game. Both teams are bottom-four in the MAC against the run. Akron has 33.5 less rushing yards allowed per game and five less touchdowns allowed than Buffalo.
Both teams are led by dominant linebackers. The Bulls have junior linebacker Khalil Hodge who currently leads the nation in tackles per game. The Zips have junior linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III who is second in the MAC in tackles per game. Hodge is better, but the problem is that the rest of Buffalo hasn't matched his level.
Buffalo's run defense has cost them games and I think that will make it harder on Saturday's offense. Both teams will enter Saturday with a chance to get their run games on track against porous run defenses.
Akron gets the edge here but only slightly.
Final pick: Buffalo
I believe this game will go Buffalo's way, even with their quarterback issues. Reed should be able to get back over 100 yards for the first time in four games. His success will open everything up and help Vantrease. If Vantrease can increase his efficiency, this is a very winnable game.
Last season, Buffalo's only MAC win came against Akron. This year, they should be able to beat the Zips for their second MAC win.

I am writing some code to retrieve data from SQL Server, including an image field.
I load the retrieved image data into a byte array and then convert the array into an image.
Finally, I want to show a thumbnail of the image in a picturebox control on my app's form.
All this works perfectly on my dev machine running windows 7, but the following code:
Dim myblankCallback As Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort = New Image.GetThumbnailImageAbort(AddressOf blankCallback)
PictureBox1.Image = newImage.GetThumbnailImage(180, 180, myblankCallback, New System.IntPtr())
produces an out of memory exception on Windows XP machines if the size of image is > 4 kb
Any help to rectify the situation will bw highly appreciated.
