'Basketball Wives LA' star Jackie Christie is blogging for HollywoodLife.com, sharing her thoughts about each episode! Read what she has to say below!
Wow is all I can say about episode six of our show Basketball Wives LA is that it was explosive! From the opening scene of the girls, Laura and Draya's MMA tousle, the drama was in full swing!
However on a lighter note, Doug and I enjoyed having dinner with Matt and Gloria and getting to know them even better. Matt's open expression of his love for her was sweet. We all had a great time.
Going shopping with the girls was fun too, but I found myself wondering if what I was saying to Imani in the clothing store about finding the right guy was really resonating with her, because her and Laura were having a ball talking about the height and size of the guy's package! Fun though. Anyway, I meant it when I told Imani she was a queen and needed to be treated as such. At that point in our friendship, I had grown to love her like a sister and only want the best for her.
Gloria and I got a chance to have lunch alone and it was a real treat! We got to catch up and have girl time as well as share our feelings on a few subjects. And besides the food was delicious!
The temperature definitely changed a bit once Laura came over to my house to discuss the whole Draya debacle once again, but this time we were going to see if there was any truth to any of it — not that the Internet is 100% correct. By the way I was not serious when I told her I always read the blogs — not so, only the ones that interest me. Well we were able to find a few disturbing things, but we wanted to get together with the others to decide a plan on how we would ask her once and for all to come clean. And if it were true, I was ready to extend a helping hand to her and try to assist her how ever I could.
So Laura and I met up with the other girls to discuss what we ran across about the rumors we heard and that we had found a police report as well. It was decided at lunch that the entire group would meet up and talk to Draya and try to get to the bottom of it all. But, it all went south at Beso Restaurant. Once we got there and began our discussions, I was still shocked along with the others about all that we learned that night! Stay tuned.

First….wow at this severely photoshop picture of tou!!! What's said is that you seem to gold yourself to some high standard when you are honestly one of the most negative people on the show!! It blows my mind that you women find time in bringing another down!!! Guess what Vh1 is paying you is worth you looking a dang fool and showing how not to be a lady!!!

Just a quick note – how in the heck can any of you on the show criticize Draya for what she is doing or has done. Laura is always talking about kick rocks; but didn't Gilbert make her KICK ROCKS from DC to LA and now she has no self worth that she would go back to him after he treated her like a GROUPIE.. GROUPIES are probably treated better than that. Imani–no comment except, go back and get the kid you left behind for a man… Jackie–i expected better than you since you were the older more mature and stable woman..however, i guess even you have skeletons–hence a 20+ year old daughter that you threw out of your house. Gloria and Laura are both beneath even commenting even further… Laura needs a real job and stip living off of Gilbert's money and take care of her own four children on her own..i guess that is a joke..and by the end of this year, she will be the one KICKIN ROCKS…LOL
Posted at 7:38 PM on October 4, 2011
Who made you queen of the circle? Why do you feel that Draya has to answer to you and these other women. All of you are jump-off. So I would not be too quick to throw stones. If you are truly happy with Doug, it would show.All I see is an very mean and vindictive person who wants to put other people down for past mistakes.

Jackie, Laura, Gloria, and Imani are to LA Basketball Wives, what NeNe Leakes is to ATL Housewives…Sad, Bitter, and Media Whores. Whatever Draya did or did not do, is her business. None of them pay her bills or put food in her little boy's mouth.
* Jackie needs to focus on her own children. One blogs awful stuff about her and the other tells her nothing, because clearly if kissing at boy at 18 brings "mom" to tears she is clearly unstable.
*Laura needs to control her temper, before she gets locked up. After 3 weeks she should have been with her infant, not getting her behind beat. Plus, she sleeps with married men. So that makes her Crazy and a Whore. Crazy Whore!
*Gloria has a man what will not marry her, but feels its ok to abuse her. Hell even Ike married Tina.
*Imani-sad, lonely, evil Imani. A person who feels it is ok to call someone worthless in secert, but after 9 years a man told her, she were worthless in public by calling the wedding off on her wedding day. A man she denied her own blood for.
However-I would like to say I'm sorry for the statements I just made about each woman. I don't know you (like you don't know Draya), I just googled you (like you googled Draya), and I just don't have anything better to do but hate on you (like you hate on Draya).
Team Draya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am trying to figure out who you people think you are ganging up on Draya!!!! It's none of your business what happened in her past!! You all are total idiots and she don't have to explain jack to you all!!!! You all are total haters!!! This show is a joke and you all are some fake botches!!! And Jackie you are a freaking Nutt Case!!!! Dray don't owe y'all jack!! Y'all have done a lot of crap in your past and Jackie and Shaq's jump off Laura Get Real!!! Y'all are a Joke!!! Laura was sleeping with a married man and Jackie you are what 50 with 4 different husbands!!! That means you have been all across the country giving up yo goodies!!!! Leave that kid alone!!! A real black woman never set out to destroy another sista!!! Gloria you are giving up the cookies and cream with no signs of a marriage!! Your kids are growing up on a home with you shacking up with a man that will never Marry You Boo Boo!!! He is never gonna commit!!! Stop downing Draya!!! Wake up!!! I am ashamed that you ALL are a part of our race!!!!!
Posted at 7:04 PM on October 4, 2011
Jackie, what is the REAL problem? Do you hate yourself so much that you must demoralize another person? I'm so shocked to see women of color hate on each other instead of uplifting and embracing those who need guidance. Jackie, your kids are watching their mother behave like trash — what about your mother? Why not tap into something positive that could possibly help some of the younger ladies watching this show? Instead you rather bully Draya because you lost your looks and body and you hate to see someone like her that could possibly turn the head of your husband. Wow!
I can say this..you are so insecure and jealous of Draya that you are willing to beat her down…wow!!! You are a bully. Shame on you.
Posted at 4:49 PM on October 4, 2011
Wow as a black female freshman attendee of a prestigious undergrad university and future graduate, the only person I would hang out with on the show is Draya. I never knew that being married to a "basketball star" made a woman valuable or being a "stripper who everyone speaks about" made a woman worthless. I was taught that every human being has inherent worth and dignity and as a result, are equals. It is very sad for me to watch a group of middle aged women and some a bit older than I am act dumber than my teenage counterparts or on the same level. Either way, no one on this show should be "ganging up" on anyone, especially Draya since neither of you have become famous on your own accord. If I am correct, you are linked to basketball players, people who have talent in the realm of basketball.If Draya is so worthless and the rest of the females ,except for Malaysia, do not want to hang out with her, what makes all of you so much more valuable than Draya?Is it your willingness to participate in 16 weddings, is it going back to a man that will not marry you after you have had 4 or 2 of his children, or is it nationally announcing to the world your problems with men? When this question can be efficiently answered with proper empirical and causal logic, maybe I will sympathize, but as it cannot be answered, then the claims and cruel actions of the BBWs and BBG's cannot be justified.

I agree with most everyone on here. This "beating up" on Draya is sad. If she did those things maybe she is "lost" As a young mother we should help her to be a better mother, maybe she does not know how. It takes other moms to helps other moms the stress can sometimes be overwelming if you do not have a support system. And the older moms on this show should be ashamed of themselves. No one is a perfect mom and most of us have all made mistakes and most of us can look back and see where we could have done something better, but at the time it was happening we thought we were doing the right thing. Being a mom is the toughest job there will ever be and the more suppprt we have as mothers the more we can succeed at it. Older moms have been through a lot, we can pass that wisdom to younger mom or at least be there for them. It is bad enought that most mom (at least I do continue to "beat myself" up on not being a good mom and I pray that I don't make so many mistakes that it will harm my child. I am so shocked at this show. But one shining hope is Malaysia, she is so sweet and she is not a follower, she is her own person that always wants to do the right thing. I just love her!!!

Jackie, I cant believe how ghetto you are, I had thought you would be the one cast member to show some class…but you disappoint…did you sell your soul to the devil for a paycheck…you and your circle make black women look class less…you have kids almost Draya age I expected you to take her under your wings and guide her…all of you ladies take please in bashing her…all of you have skeletons in your closet…you should definitely know better the internet has not been kind to you…there are horrible stories about you…all of you ladies are dissed on the internet so be careful in your judgement of Draya.. I guess you feel as long as you are being talked about its all whether good or bad…because believe me you and your circle are some of the most hated women these days…they talk about all of you everywhere I go…hairdresser, nail salon every place and the talk is filled with venom and contempt for you ladies…

WOW…. I am totally amazed how these women call themselves so "MATURE" about their relationships and families. As for ganging on Draya (except Maylasia), Jackie, Imani, Gloria & Laura you ladies are the Webster definition of "stupidity."
Laura, for someone who has #% kids and living in a 2 bedroom apartment….stop making excuses. Gil is just playing you, if he wanted to be with you it would have happen a looooong time ago.
Gloria….well…birds of a feather flock together.
Imani….get a life!!
Lastly, Jackie…..as a mother of a 13 year old, I don't have to have a "therapist" to come and talk with my child. We are more like sister's but she "knows" when "mama rules". Here is some motherly advice: use "common sense." The reason your daughter won't "open up to you is because you focus toooo much on your …"let's see what theme we are going to do for this anniversary!!" I bet my last dollar that you very seldom gave your daughter the attention during her early teen yesrs. Think about….you constantly let "everyone" know that wherever you husband was playing "you were there". What about your daughter? Sorry, it's too late…now it's "biting your butt." Remember: "Children do grow up."
Tell the truth
Posted at 3:55 PM on October 4, 2011
Jackie. You are an embarrassment to older, mature women with kids!! And you both should be ashamed of your old self for hating on Draya, someone young enough to be your daughter! And don't you have a daughter around Draya's age…so, why are you putting yourself on a her level? What kind of role model do you think you're being to your kids? And I don't understand why you made such a big deal out of her not showing up for your "16th wedding" (it's not like it was real)! Just because you have a husband wrapped around your fingers & catering to your insecurities so much, that he's willing to go along with those phony weddings…does not mean that you can bully others into being that way!!! Bottomline: Act like you have some class, because you're representing more than just yourself….you have a family & so far you've been proving the media right about you!!!

Jackie, what's sickening about your behaviour is that your oldest child is not that much younger than Draya and that's how you act? You are grown and made A LOT of mistakes in your past, all of you have. I don't think you raised your oldest did you? Considering you were so insecure and psycho you travelled to all of Doug's away games, so where was your child?? What Draya did was disgusting but in no way, shape or form did she need to explain herself to none of you ladies and you shouldn't have went there and expected her to. who the hell are you guys, GOD?!?! This girl is young and clearly lost, and you being the mom you claim you are should try to help her. But you were the ring leader of it all. Laura got a lot of nerve, Gloria and don't get me started on Imani who left her kids to chase a MAN!!!! I don't think there was one person who saw last night's episode and wasn't disgusted with ya'lls behaviour!!! It seems to me you guys are just jealous because Draya is young and in her prime and you all look like nasty middle aged women who look their age!!! Dumb broads!! Team Draya all the way!!

1st off I would like to say that I am a huge fan of the show! Some of the things I see up there I just wanna reach thru my tv and choke the crap outta these lil girls!!! Draya need to tighten up and stop crying and explainig herself to be part of a part that she is not welcome in anyway. Gloria sister was banging Shaq while he was married correct?!? And she was supa mad!!! Theres blogs going around that Gloria husband beat the crap outta her…Pull that blog up!!! Nobody perfect Draya u need just a lil bit of East Coast buck in ya system baby!!! You killing me explaining urself…u owe nobody no explaination! You are a beautiful young lady….love your child and don't let nobody tell u otherwise! If u didn't do it you wouldn't be upset! That's what u gotta deal with when ur in the public eye!!! IJS :-) but love all u girls!!! Loving the drama, keep it coming!!! Nesha from Portsmouth VA

What I don't understand is why in the world did they think Draya needed to explain anything to them in regards to her past, or what was printed about her. She doesn't have to answer to anyone. Mature Black Women don't even act like that, so it has to be the producers telling them to act that way. The show is not Basketbal Wives, because only two of them are married. There needs to be a name change. Malaysia and Draya need their own reality show.
Posted at 2:44 PM on October 4, 2011
some really bad fat womam. so lets pick on the only person on the show that you want to know more about. you other woman, cloria- with a man that hit's on her and have kids, why not get married.. he do not want you, if so he would have married you by year 2, Laura- 5 kids and not married, have sex with other peoples man. what are you going to tell your kids. mom's a W!!!! imani- with a man for 10 years had hes kidsand he still would not get married. but you think your all that. your a just a puppy mill. jackie where was your kids when you would not let you're man go to a game with out you. your one crazy fat B!!! but you guys sit around and run someone down. fat girl club, you all suck.

Jackie…all of you women except for Draya and Malaysia should be ashamed of yourselves, I am appalled at this episode and this cast!!! WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO PASS JUDGEMENT ON ANYBODY BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU PULL UP OFF THE INTERNET!!! I guess I can get a group of my friends and confront you on how you are a dead beat mom who threw her first born and PRECIOUS GRANDBABIES out onto the street, you know where I read that Jackie…ON THE INTERNET YOUR OWN DAUGHTERS'S WORDS! I also read ON THE INTERNET that you allowed your husband to almost die while choking in a resturaunt all because a male doctor wasn't around!!!!! Now maybe that isn't true but the same way you don't give draya a chance you don't deserve one either!!! LET's KEEP GOING SHALL WE!!! I guess a group of my friends and I can go confront Laura on the allegations of screwing Shaq while he was married to her friend shaunie (but draya is the jump off right). There are emails to prove it!!! But no those emails were fabricated right but a police report can't be fabricated?????? Guess where I read this jackie ON THE INTERNET!!! LET'S KEEP GOING!!!!! How about a group of my friends go and confront little miss perfect gloria about how her husband (excuse me fiance who won't marry her) went upside her head in front of those "precious twin boys faces"….LET'S PULL UP THAT POLICE REPORT!!! Where did I read you ask…ON THE INTERNET!!! LET'S KEEP GOING!!! LAST BUT CERTAINLY NOT LEAST MS PIGGY IMANI!!! How about a group of my friends get together and confront her about how she is a DEADBEAT MOM AND A LIAR!!!! Who lies about their age, how many kids they have and leaves their child in someone elses's care in order to follow behind a NBA player who ended up NOT EVEN MARRYING HER BUTT!!! Where did I see this??? Let's all say it together folks ON THE INTERNET!!!!! True friendship, and classiness was only shown and exemplified by Malaysia who took draya by the hand and comforted her. Jackie you in no way shape or form wanted to help draya or extend a helping hand as you claim. I'm sorry your comment and I quote, "She needs an a** whooping," does NOT specify someone who wants to help anybody out. Draya keep ya head up honey, these tricks (except malayasia) are making this show all about you, you are gonna be the break out star…your husband is coming. Go ahead and delete this comment Jackie…I know you are not woman enough to take it.

Jackie. You are very judgemental. All you are doing is making it the Draya show, and making yourself look like the old washed up hating women you are showing the world. Have some dignity. Stop being so typical. No one is impressed. Who made you God and gave you the power to judge others and throw stones. at them. You are not near perfect, she made a mistake. Let her have that, but you keep reminding her about her mistakes, and is trying to force her to talk about it to make you guys feel better about your dumb circle that I am sure no one wants to be apart of. How about you not be typical and uplift the black women who are lost. Draya is young and she is not hopeless. We have all made mistakes in our lives and the only person who we need to discuss our mistakes with and make sure we are forgiven is God, not Jackie, Imani, Gloria and Laura. None of you are perfect. I have seen negative stuff about all of you on the internet, especially Laura. If you are attacking Draya to try to make the show interesting then you have lost respect with that from America. You all look bitter and you look like haters. I would rather see a reality show about Draya and her friends then see anything else about the rest of you so called women. I say so called because you all act like children, and you are picking who will be in the club house. Grow up and get a life. Leave Draya ALONE!!! Before you loose the show, because I am sooooo over you!!!
Posted at 12:40 PM on October 4, 2011
You all are very disturbing, poor examples of women. I don't agree with Draya if everything you've learned about her is true, but the joy you people find in tearing down Draya because she's not in in your circle, while conveniently ignoring the dark secrets of Laura and others because they're in the group is ridiculous. I'm most disappointed in you Jackie because you demand respect that you haven't earned. Every week you go back to high school with your catty attitude and your vulgar mouth that rapidly diminishes any hope i had of you being a true lady. Group attacking anyone is cowardly and weak. You people as a group feed all of the negative stereotypes and you look awful. Grow up and stop selling your character to the devil for a pay check. I'm done watching this show and you all are disgusting!

i dont think that yall sholud charge at dreya like that ya i understand if she was talking trash but throwing here out like that was wrong everybody makes mistakes some people make really bad mistakes maybe she didnt want to talk about what happen 6 months ago she knows what she did let her talk it out with god and if she dosent care she can burn in hell but dont call her out like that talk to her private unless it a problem with the whole group

i agree, comfort, that these women ganged up on draya, like thugs! jackie was the ring leader. she wanted to make things worse too by accusing draya of disrespecting her man. wtf? that comment was so out there, made no sense and was specifically meant to frighten draya. she is young and foolish and she was surrounded by all these gigantic, middle-aged angry women with no way out.if she did leave her son unattended, its bad. but who the hell are these women to make it their business? they all have skeletons. it's not their business. and being in their circle is no great prize11 maybe that's why she doesnt want to be around them. cheers to malasia for walking out with draya. she is the only lady in that group..
Posted at 12:43 PM on October 4, 2011
It really seems as if you guys are picking on Draya because she is different and you can. Where do we have the right to judge. I am going to say that you Ladies, are very "Blessed", that you are able to go to work daily, provide for your family and spend time with your family. If you see someone that is in need, instead of bringing them down help them, if they don't need your help at least you know you reached out to help them. Try to be more empathetic of the person instead of projecting your own life into someone's situation. I just feel like every week it's game up on Draya week. We all have sinned and there's no one perfect. Children mean the world to me and I understand you guys stance on the manner because you are mothers but again, we all know how it feels to be judged. By the way I enjoy watching Basketball Wives LA. I don't have a favorite I am just a very neutral person.

I am sadden by the way these females caried theirselves on this show.I am a female and a mother,and i am repulsed by their actions.Jackie and Imani has to be in their late forties and should be ashame of the way they handled this situation. first off they aren't in any position to place judgement on this gourgeous young lady who is in need of guidance.instead she get these alleycats clawing at her because all of their looks are no longer existing,Jackie girl that outfit you had on did"nt do a thing to hide that big belly instead of worring about Draya tell your man to pay for some lipo, all of you guys suck,I will not give this show any more ratings.

Yet another contribution to the World Wide Parking Lot... A little .NET, Coding, and fun
Jan 9 2012
When choosing to cast in C#, there are at least two obvious patterns.
These two casting options have very different performance characteristics which should be considered. In tight loops you may wish to choose 'as' casting just for the performance benefits which I've measured as high as 50% over the alternative
Although this may seem like just a syntactic shortcut; under the covers; it's actually two different sets of behaviors which account for the different costs
Go on... Give it a go.

Bought the theme. But it doesn't work on v22.214.171.124 of OpenCart?
Any idea?
Hello MaxWolfje and thanks for your purchase! We have responded to your email! If you need any further information, please log to our forum: http://themeforest.net/user/aldema
Kind regards, Aldema
is there anyway that i can put return page on information section?
oh,, one more thing,
can i change main banner scrolling time? I want it little bit faster than default setting.
i have another question. on product detail page, i like to make image bigger than default. can you help me how? http://anens.com/temp/qimage.jpgHi Ijoyoya, sorry for the late reply.
1) what do you mean with return page on information screen? The return page cannot be moved amongst the information pages. The only thing you can do is create a page containing the return policies and info.
2) open the slider's tpl page and play with animSpeed and pauseTime values
3) No, that's advanced personal customization and we cannot help. You need to change the stylesheet of the theme but that's up to you, sorry.
Regards, Aldema
1) this link you missed. http://peachyday.com/store/index.php?route=account/return/insert i want to put it in the information section. tell me which file i have to edit, and i will just put it in. 2) can you tell me where is that slider's tpl file? i will find out what to do. 3) can you tell me which stylesheet i have to edit? i will find out.
Thank you
i figure out 1, and 2. can you tell me which stylesheet i have to edit for question 3)
Hi ijoyoya, you should edit the stylesheet of the theme:
Anyway, It will not be easy to get the things you asked for if you don't know HTML and CSS.
Regards, Aldema
hello there,

Monitoring Your UPS With apcupsd
When apcupsd is run, it first initializes the serial port and tries to determine if there is a UPS connected. Once it finds a UPS, it spawns a number of child processes, each doing a specific task. This is a design decision, due to the number of things that apcupsd must do simultaneously.
The main apcupsd process creates an IPC-shared memory pool and an IPC semaphore, then forks the apcmain task, becoming a dæmon, before exiting. The job of apcmain is to fork all the other asynchronous tasks, wait for child termination, and listen for signals. It acts as a watchdog to avoid zombies or lost signals, and it does so simply by waiting with the wait() system call.
After becoming a dæmon, apcmain forks more processes depending on which configuration has been selected in the configuration file. Figure 2 shows the operations of apcupsd once started. Let's see them in detail.
If the UPS is local to the computer apcupsd is running on, the first task that is started is apcser. This task listens to the serial port for UPS alerts, and chats with the UPS to gather all the information needed to know the status of the UPS. In this configuration, apcser is the most important process running on the system, because, besides chatting with UPS, it executes all the actions needed to run and shut down, if necessary, the computer safely during power failures. In addition, this task generates the reports that are written to system and private log files for history purposes.
Also, if apcupsd is asked to act as a Network Information Server, it will start apcnis. apcnis is a task that accepts connections from clients on the network and delivers information gathered from the UPS to them.
If the UPS protecting local computer's power utility is managed from a remote computer on the network, instead of starting apcser, the apcmain task will start the apcslv task. apcslv is a slave task that sits on a socket waiting for a connection from an apcupsd remote master. This process is the most important task of a networked apcupsd slave. When the network master sends the UPS' alerts to the slave, apcslv executes the same action routine executed by apcserial. This means that a slave that receives a battery-exhausted alert from its master will shut down the computer to ensure data and hardware safety.
Finally, if the UPS is local and it powers a utility line with other slave computers connected, apcupsd will start apcmst, the master process for network alert. apcmst's task is to send, at defined intervals, the status of the UPS to every slave configured. Also it is very important for the slaves because if the UPS sends alerts to the computer, apcmst bypasses the time-outs and reports them immediately to the slaves. In this way we can make sure that the slaves receive power alerts almost immediately.
It is interesting to note that apcupsd processes communicate with each other through IPC shared memory areas and semaphores. This means that apcupsd will not run on a computer where System V IPC or some equivalent (such as memory mapped files) is not present.
Before running apcupsd it is necessary to configure the dæmon to work as needed with the local hardware configuration and the desired behavior. In a standard installation, the configuration file is in
This file is a plain ASCII file that contains all the configuration directives needed by apcupsd.
The directives must be properly configured before apcupsd can operate correctly. With these directives you specify the kind of cable, the model of UPS connected to the computer, the device where the UPS is connected, how to operate on power failures, logging options and much more.
A typical stand-alone configuration includes a computer and a UPS connected to its serial port.
Listing 2 shows a configuration file for a stand-alone SmartUPS connected to the first serial port of the computer. On power failure, apcupsd will shut down the computer when the battery level falls below 5% of full charge or the UPS remaining run-time falls below three minutes, whichever happens first. apcupsd will send messages to user consoles every five minutes sending the first message one minute after the power failure occurs. apcupsd will not disallow user logins during a power failure. UPS events are logged in /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.events. The UPS status can be read from our CGI interface or from /etc/apcupsd/apcupsd.status, which is updated every minute.
Re: Monitoring Your UPS With apcupsd
Not only is this an excellent review, but its also short, but covers alot of the basic material. Besides from being a review and a tutorial, its a inspiration.
I just bought a APC 1000 and had problems with upsd .. but this made me switch over and are now running apcupsd and made tons of scripts to monitor it .. even mrtg. Wonderfull program :)
Re: Monitoring Your UPS with apcupsd
Nice article.
I will add that we are also successfully monitoring Belkin UPSs with apcupsd.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.

LONDON (AP) - The British filmmaker behind "Death Wish," restaurant critic and bon vivant Michael Winner, has died at the age of 77.
Winner's wife Geraldine says he died Monday at his London home after an illness.
Winner's 30 movies included three "Death Wish" films starring the late Charles Bronson.
He had a second career as restaurant critic for the Sunday Times newspaper, where his highest praise was to declare a meal "historic."
His wife, a former dancer who married Winner two years ago, said he was "a wonderful man, brilliant, funny and generous. A light has gone out in my life."

Learning Drupal Fundamentals
Many of you already know what a huge Drupal fan I am, but on October 19th I am going to show you. I hope you'll join me for a two hour online class about the fundamentals of building a Drupal site. This class is ideal for those of you who are just getting started using Drupal, or who are curious about why and how you should use it. As I am sure you know, Drupal is behind some pretty large-scale web sites and applications, and you've probably spent some time visiting Drupal sites such as Ubuntu.com and SpreadFirefox.com. I'll show you the basics of getting a Drupal site up and running so you can start on the path to use Drupal's flexibility for your own projects.
Since many of you have your own open-source projects to promote and support, but may not be as well-versed in web development, I will create an open-source project site for the Billix distribution to demonstrate site building. When you'd like to expand beyond your SourceForge page, you can turn to Drupal.
Drupal Fundamentals
Drupal is a leading content management platform used to build everything from small-scale blogs to major media and government agency sites, as well as complex enterprise applications. We'll show you how to put its power and flexibility to use on your own project. This online class will cover the basics of building a Drupal site, including essential module selection, configuration, and theme selection and modification. Using an open-source project site as an example, we will go through the major points essential to getting your first Drupal site online. We will demonstrate installation, basic architecture, content types, content display and layout.
Register at http://linuxjournal.webex.com
I'd also like to thank our sponsor, Codero, for helping to make the class possible.

Thank you I await for that intro to drupal. I recently started using it in my Ubuntu desktop. I know it is server sided and I am a little nervous of what to expect upon running it on a hosted site. I know in ubuntu I usually go to localhost/drupal6, but what will happen upon installing it on a hosted site. I hope that upon going to a website drupal will take people directly to the index page. Little nervous specially since my boss wants me to learn it and put content in production very soon.
its easy
when you place it on your hosted site just install it to your root html directory and then edit your .htaccess file to make index.php your directory root page instead of index.htm etc.
there are some great tutorials here as well http://mustardseedmedia.com/podcast

A Look at Various Kinds of Restaurant Supply Glasses
Those who run a restaurant business need to have enough restaurant glassware in their establishment so as not to run out of glasses for their customers and guests. But before going out to purchase your commercial glassware, it is always a good idea to choose the right glasses for your restaurant or food-service establishment. It is also a good idea for you to choose the best commercial glasses available in the market today, so you can get the most out of your purchase.
Common restaurant glassware includes restaurant wine glasses, restaurant kids cups, restaurant water glasses, and more. It is essential to determine which type of restaurant glassware you require for your business.
Restaurant Water Glasses
When comparing various types of commercial glassware, you will find out that restaurant water glasses are some of the most heavy-duty. For instance, restaurant water glasses are thicker than other types of restaurant glassware, owing to a thick construction as well as straight sides. This allows restaurant water glasses to withstand the rigors of a busy restaurant and kitchen environment.
Needless to say, if you are looking to purchase restaurant water glasses for your food-service establishment and not for household use, you need to look for durability. For instance, the most durable water glasses tend to be short and thick, with straight sides and a heavy bottom.
For some of the best restaurant water glasses around, you don't need to look further than Libbey's. Here at Rapids Wholesale, we have a large selection of Libbey water glasses ideal for use in any restaurant or food-service establishment. You can choose from a variety of Libbey water glasses ranging from the classic model design and one with a heavier base or bulge tumblers.
Commercial Wine Glasses
Before going out to buy new restaurant wine glasses, one important thing to consider is the type of wines you will be serving. For instance, red wines are often commonly served in commercial wine glasses that have a wide bowl. This is because wide-bowled restaurant wine glasses to let in more air and release all of the aromas and flavors. On the other hand, white wines tend to give out more delicate flavors compared to reds, and they require commercial wine glasses that are narrower than those used for red wines.
However, regardless of the type of wine you are looking to serve in your establishment, it is important also to consider the aesthetic appeal of the restaurant supply wine glasses you need to purchase. Restaurant wine glasses are also made of different types of materials. The most common and preferred type of material is crystal. Because crystal tends to be thin and clear, it is a very good choice for restaurant wine glasses. Thinness is essential for the type of commercial wine glasses you will want to purchase because thicker glasses may throw off the taste of the wine. Thinner restaurant wine glasses can direct the wine to the proper area of the tongue, which results in the best taste of wine.
One disadvantage, however, of thinner commercial wine glasses is that it can break easily. It is therefore essential that you get a balance of functionality and durability when you purchase your restaurant supply wine glasses. Also, most wine connoisseurs will prefer a long-stemmed wine glass because the prevailing thought is that the long stem tends to keep your hands away from the glass and prevents it from warming up the wine—wines, experts say, should be served cooler than body temperature. However, there are restaurant wine glasses nowadays that don't feature stems anymore, as wine drinkers are not expected to be holding an entire glass of wine anyway, enough to warm up the drink.
Here at Rapids Wholesale, you can choose from a wide selection of commercial wine glasses from Libbey. Our Libbey wine glasses include Libbey stemless wine glasses, Libbey red wine glasses, and more. Get your Libbey wine glasses wholesale here at Rapids.
Beer Glassware Wholesale
Here at Rapids Wholesale, you can choose from a wide selection of Libbey beer glasses, Libbey pilsner glasses or pub glasses, and Libbey pint glasses. If you want to purchase beer glassware wholesale, Rapids is the place for you.
Beer mugs are designed to have a thicker construction so that they can hold beer without breaking. Beer mugs feature sturdy and heavy-duty handles that makes for easier lifting. There are also dedicated beer glasses specifically for holding pints of brew, pilsner, and lager beers.
Some glasses are specifically designed to hold pints of beer or pilsner and lager beers. Pilsner glasses are specifically designed to flare at the top, being wider than the bottom. Pint glasses are very versatile as they can also be used to hold water, ciders, and soda aside from beers.

Ortona median real estate price is $143,559, which is more expensive than 37.5% of the neighborhoods in Florida and 40.8% of the neighborhoods in the U.S.
The average rental price in Ortona is currently $936, based on NeighborhoodScout's exclusive analysis. Rents here are currently lower in price then 67.1% of Florida neighborhoods.
Ortona is a suburban neighborhood (based on population density) located in Daytona Beach, Florida. This is a coastal neighborhood (i.e., is on the ocean, a bay, or inlet).
Ortona real estate is primarily made up of small (studio to two bedroom) to medium sized (three or four bedroom) single-family homes and apartment complexes/high-rise apartments. Most of the residential real estate is owner occupied. Many of the residences in the Ortona neighborhood are older, well-established, built between 1940 and 1969. A number of residences were also built between 1970 and 1999.
Vacant apartments or homes are a major fact of life in Ortona. The current real estate vacancy rate here is 39.9%. This is higher than the rate of vacancies in 97.3% of all U.S. neighborhoods. This can sometimes be the case in neighborhoods dominated by seasonal homes (such as vacation areas), and occasionally it is also found in neighborhoods that are primarily filled with college students, as some apartments could be vacant when school is not in session. But often neighborhoods with vacancy rates this high are places that can be plagued by a protracted vacancy problem. If you live here, you may find that a number of buildings in your neighborhood are actually empty.

Bite-Sized Appetizers Cups (Cup-a-tizers)
by Robin Miller in Robin's Healthy Take, July 17, 2012People always ask me for quick and easy recipes that they can bring to parties. They want to share something homemade, something personal. But those same people also tell me they have NO time, NO patience and practically NO cooking ability. Game on, I say.
I've got you covered and you'll knock the socks off of every party-goer at your next soiree.
The best appetizers for a party, whether the soiree is held inside or out, are handheld munchies you can tackle in a bite or two. The goal is simple: gourmet flavors that come alive in one small portion. That's basically my mantra.
That said, I love little "cups," vessels created for holding other ingredients. Restaurants and caterers make them all the time, but they're often fried or loaded with fat and salt. Not true of the home-made version. Plus, frying masks flavors sometimes, and when the filling is amazing, you shouldn't do that.
Behold 3 of the best little cups you've laid your palate on (or laid on your palate). Asian-inspired, Mexican-inspired and Greek-inspired, they each cram loads of flavor into an adorable, edible bowl.
The variations to these recipes are endless so feel free to experiment and let us know what you make!
Note: If you plan to refrigerate any of these cups for more than 1-2 hours, I recommend waiting to fill them until just before serving. Sometimes the moist filling causes the shells lose their crispness in the refrigerator.

Because I like to discover new music or hear stuff that I'm not familiar with, and because 'traditional country' is getting harder and harder to find these days, I've started expanding my horizons…Continue
Sure am glad I found a group of true country lovers, those who understand what real country music is and should be.
The other night I was doing a circle-check on the truck and I had the radio tuned in to 100.7 The Island, which is one of the local country stations, and has a Classic Country Hour....Well, this wasn't that hour, and the song I heard made me almost weep for the future of country music, it's called Parking Lot Party.
We've come from the lyrics of Gentleman Jim Reeves' songs about love and companionship and never leaving anyone behind (The Blizzard) and Charlie Pride's songs about hard work and gospel (Abled-Bodied Man, Let Me Live) to these long-haired wannabe country boys in John Deere T-shirts and Dodge ballcaps singing songs about constantly partying and getting drunk or songs about how they would rather not do their manly duties but just drink beer instead....Country music used to speak of and tell stories of some very manly things and had great messages in the lyrics...Now...I just don't know.
I tell you, Gentleman Jim, The Possum, Ernie Ashwroth, Webb Pierce, Tex Ritter, Gene Autry, Mother Mabel and Lew Dewitt (of the Statler Bros) must be turning over in their graves with what passes for country music nowadays.
A savage murder has been committed on Music Row, gentlemen.

Bacterial vaginosis is vaginitis due to a complex alteration of vaginal flora in which lactobacilli decrease and anaerobic pathogens overgrow. Symptoms include a gray, thin, fishy-smelling vaginal discharge and itching. Diagnosis is confirmed by testing vaginal secretions. Treatment is usually with oral or topical metronidazole or topical clindamycin.
Bacterial vaginosis is the most common infectious vaginitis. The cause is unknown. Anaerobic pathogens that overgrow include Prevotella sp, Peptostreptococcus sp, Gardnerella vaginalis, Mobiluncus sp, and Mycoplasma hominis, which increase in concentration by 10- to 100-fold and replace the normally protective lactobacilli. Risk factors include those for sexually transmitted diseases (see Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD)). In women who have sex with women, risk increases as the number of sex partners increases. However, bacterial vaginosis can occur in virgins, and treating the male sex partner does not appear to affect subsequent incidence in sexually active heterosexual women. Use of an intrauterine device is also a risk factor.
Bacterial vaginosis appears to increase the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease, postabortion and postpartum endometritis, posthysterectomy vaginal cuff infection, chorioamnionitis, premature rupture of membranes, preterm labor, and preterm birth.
Vaginal discharge is malodorous, gray, and thin. Usually, a fishy odor is present, often becoming stronger when the discharge is more alkaline—after coitus and menses. Pruritus and irritation are common. Erythema and edema are uncommon.
Speculum Examination in Bacterial Vaginosis
For the diagnosis, 3 of 4 criteria must be present:
Clue cells (bacteria adhering to epithelial cells and sometimes obscuring their cell margins) are identified by microscopic examination of a saline wet mount. Presence of WBCs on a saline wet mount suggests a concomitant infection (possibly trichomonal, gonorrheal, or chlamydial cervicitis) and the need for additional testing.
Clue Cells
(See also the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention practice guideline Sexually transmitted diseases characterized by vaginal discharge.)
Metronidazole Some Brand Names FLAGYL Click for Drug Monograph 0.75% vaginal gel bid for 5 days or 2% clindamycin Some Brand Names CLEOCIN Click for Drug Monograph vaginal cream once/day for 7 days is the treatment of choice. Oral metronidazole Some Brand Names FLAGYL Click for Drug Monograph 500 mg bid for 7 days or 2 g po once is effective but can have systemic adverse effects. Women who use clindamycin Some Brand Names CLEOCIN Click for Drug Monograph cream cannot use latex products (ie, condoms or diaphragms) for contraception because the drug weakens latex. Treatment of asymptomatic sex partners is unnecessary.
For vaginitis during the 1st trimester of pregnancy, metronidazole Some Brand Names FLAGYL Click for Drug Monograph vaginal gel should be used, although treatment during pregnancy has not been shown to lower the risk of pregnancy complications. To prevent endometritis, clinicians may give oral metronidazole Some Brand Names FLAGYL Click for Drug Monograph prophylactically before elective abortion to all patients or only to those who test positive for bacterial vaginosis.

Sometimes scripture seems to be difficult to follow so I wanted to provide an example to follow.
Stranded on an island
You are stranded on a deserted island and the only thing you can have is 3 books. What 3 books would you choose to have?
If you are a Christian then most likely one of your books was the Bible. Maybe you chose the biggest dictionary that exist so you could burn it in a fire to stay warm. However, most likely you did not answer "a survival guide."
The answer that makes the most sense is often the one that we overlook. Unfortunately the same is true right now in real life. As Christians we are stranded on this desert island called Earth. We are not of this world but we do have a calling here. The creator of this world , our Heavenly Father, gave us a survival guide for living out this earthly life. His Word, the Bible, is our survival guide that teaches us how to more than survive this life.
Unfortunately, we don't turn to the guide often enough and especially not in our greatest time of struggle. I am just as guilty as the next guy of not making the logical choice. As long as we recognize this truth and realize our God wants to guide us to success. He has given us the tools to do so but is up to us to use them daily.
So the next time you are asked, "What 3 books you would want if you were stranded on a desert island?" remember to answer with "survival guide." However, make sure to still choose your Bible also.
Costume Prayer
I have two daughters so I have always dealt with costume jewelry. Usually stepping on the cheap plastic at night walking through the house. The imitation jewelry that made you feel like you had the real deal.
I was reminded today of how when I was a novice payer (still am, just now as much) I preferred to pray for things in which I would have no idea if God came though or answered. Praying for Him to move in others lives, an emotional need of someone or praying for someone I might not ever see again. I look back now and call it costume praying because it looked like the real deal but didn't have the real feel. It was much easier to have great faith when I knew I wouldn't have to face the possible let down if God didn't come through. It was the same doubt that we all probably face at some point but I was able to disguise it so it wasn't as noticeable.
Now I love to pray for other people in those same kind of situations but not for the same reasons. It is no longer has the cheap plastic feel but it is the real deal. I have Faith in God and I love to see other people blessed. Also, to have the Hope that their Faith will also be increased in those times when they see God come through in their life.
I'm glad that I have grown up "some" to get from costume prayer towards a greater faith in The Real Deal.
Narrow Path
The other day I was driving to work and a squirrel caught my eye (as they often… SQUIRREL!). This squirrel, however, was not on the street dodging cars or leaping onto trees trying to become invisible. He was running across a telephone wire that expanded across the street. I was then reminded of Matthew 7:13-14 – "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it." Clearly in the situation of this squirrel the "broad road" would be the street with cars and the "narrow road" in his situation was the telephone wire. We have seen what happens to many squirrels that choose the wide option. Destruction comes to them by way of cars and trucks. We often choose the same type of path and receive the same consequence. We made a poor choice and all of the sudden we are caught in the middle of devastation not knowing where to go. Do I go back or keep going and than all of the sudden, SPLAT! However, this little guy found "the narrow road that leads to life" with safe passage across the street. Too often we make a common choice doing what we see everyone else doing, not asking if it is the choice that God would provide for us. So the next time you have a major choice to make ask yourself; Is this the broad road with danger or the narrow wire leading to life? . . . SQUIRREL!

Please pray for my Dad, who had a quad by-pass(his second by pass in 17 years) in November in his recovery. He also has Bergers, which is a progressive kidney diease that has flaired up since his surgery. He and my Mom have to make difficult choices as to what medication and treatment to follow. Either way it does not look good. My Mother seems to be in the early stages of what could be Alzheimers (her mother had it also). These progressive conditions impact the daily care that my parents need and what my husband and I can do for them and take care of our children and ourselves. As care takers it is a true test of faith to minister to the needs of the ill and cope with the feelings of loss, worry, irritation (at times) and all the other feelings and thoughts that go with the realization of the choices and effects of those choices. Many people have gone through similar things and are going through situations that effect them in ways that only God knows. Let us pray for all those involved in care giving, living with illness, and facing the future that is uncertain. God is good and will provide the source for all comfort and final healing. Blessings and hope to all. |

I am so glad that I was led to this site. I am suffering from several chronic diseases and have felt very alone. I am completely disabled and can no longer work. I recently lost my SSI benefits (my only income) and with that I may lose my Medicaid which pays for the medicine I need to live and my oxygen which I must have. I have COPD, an extremely enlarged heart diseased by rheumatic fever when a child, hospitalized and suffer with congestive heart failure. I am on oxygen 24/7. I also suffer with diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea (where without my "machine" to aid when I sleep I stop breathing more than 60 times an hour), asthma. God has given me strength to get through the tough times, but I still feel alone. I have lost almost 50% of my lung's ability to work on its own. My heart is swollen like an over-inflated balloon and could rupture at any time. I have been praying that God would heal my heart and stop my diabetes in its tracks. I am so glad that this site exists to pray for one another and that others suffering from chronic diseases can share our feelings. God bless you all and thank you for your prayers. I will keep you all in my prayers, too. I will welcome any emails. We can become prayer partners. |

My brother is going through chemo treatments for lung cancer which is in Stage 3B- inoperable. We lost the oldest brother to cancer 9 years ago and I pray that God will not let him suffer too long and to grant me peace and my family to accept whatever God's plan is for him. I know God is with him every step of the way in his journey and that God will give him strength and comfort to face this difficulty and that he goes into remission. Please pray that he can be healed. Thank you for all of your prayers. |

Dear Heavenly Father, All Knowing, Eternal God of Tender, Healing Mercies, I love You so much. Thank You for saving my soul. You and I have been through so much together- the rheumatoid arthritis, the lupus, the breast cancer, the MS scare, and now today the diagnosis of fibromyalgia. Lord, this is just another obstacle in the road that You will take care of for me. It has been a long road, and not an easy one for me, but God, You made me, and You can take care of me. Praise to Your Son and our Saviour, Jesus Christ! One day You'll give me a glorified body! Bless those going through chronic diseases. Draw them close to You, and give them the "Warm Fuzzy" feeling in the center of their chests that will let them know that You have them in them palm of Your hand, and, yes, You do still love them. In Jesus' Sweet and Precious Name. Amen |

...Oh my Lord, hear our prayers for the sick, the suffering, and all those in need at this time. I ask for specific help for my son Inaiah who lies in the hospital in critical condition as a result of a reaction to steroids he was taking for a serious bout with ulceritis colitis. Send your healing angels to his bed side, comfort him, give him strength to look into your light, that whatever is to be, will be in peace. Provide a way that we can be with him now, to hold his hand, and to lay his head in out arms once again. We accept what ever his life calls upon at this time...we acknowledge that we do not know what is to be, but we ask for peace of heart to Inaiah, our family and all those in conflict at this time. |

For all the people that are suffering with chronic pain, disease, and hopelessness, I pray for each and every one of you, and how you manage what you suffer. I have Post Polio Syndrome. It is not easy to live with, but God is helping me live with it. I suffer every day, but some days are worst. God say's that we are where He wants us to be, but will help with what we are doing. I know my disease will get worse over time. I know I will need more prayer's, but would like to pray for everybody else pain. God said, "It won't be easy, but it will be worth it." That is easy enough for me. As long as God is in charge, I will be fine, knowing he will not give me more than I can handle. People with diseases that uncurable, are just how God works. He will help everyone and every person's who ask Him to keep them from not falling down. May God bless all of you and for each and every one that is in pain, let God help. God Bless. |

Lotus E21 - FIA suspension clarification 29 June 2013
After Silverstone, Lotus are expected to make a minor modification to the E21's suspension for the next round in Germany after a rule clarification from the FIA, who were asked by a rival team to confirm the Lotus set-up's legality. Article 10.5.2 of the technical regulations states: "The loads from the suspension members and wheel bearings must individually and entirely be carried by the suspension upright. Exceptionally up to three suspension members may be connected together by titanium, aluminium alloy or steel components before their load is passed into the upright." As can be seen here, the Lotus would seem to have four rather than the maximum three members connected together for the upright: the lower wishbone (two arms), the pushrod link and the steering rod. Lotus are expected to change the layout, which has been in use for some time, by separating the steering pick-up point. It is not expected to have a significant impact on performance.

Maryland has seen its worst case scenario for 2012 come true. Its only QB with college experience, starting quarterback C.J. Brown, has been lost for the season due to injury.
Brown tore his ACL in a non-contact drill on Tuesday afternoon, and will miss the entire 2012 season. The other two quarterbacks that were behind him on the depth chart are both true freshman. Former starting QB Danny O'Brien was lost in the spring when he transferred to Wisconsin. Brown and O'Brien had split QB duties last year, but because of O'Brien's departure, Brown was the unquestioned starter heading into camp. Now that he is sidelined, one of the true freshmen will be expected to start.
This is a serious blow for the Terps. While Brown may not have been as good a passer as O'Brien, he was extremely good with his feet. Even splitting time with O'Brien last year, Brown was able to set a Maryland rushing record for quarterbacks with 574 yards and had started five games. His teammates had also voted him to be one of the captains for the 2012 season, and he appeared to be quite ready to be one of the new leaders of the team. He had put on muscle in the off-season, worked on his accuracy, and was one of the fastest players on the entire team during drills.
With Brown out for the season, the expectations for the Terps will drop. Despite the 2-10 season from a year ago, there were signs that things were looking up. A new turf field had been installed, a good recruiting class was coming in (and a good one for 2013 is in progress), and the chaos of last season had been put behind them. Now that they will not have an experienced quarterback leading the team, it will be a much tougher road ahead. Continue reading

After a grueling 39 hours and 51 minutes of sleepless paddling down the Guadalupe River, boat 314 team members crossed the Texas Water Safari finish line in Seadrift.
The bay waters were dark and calm when the Las Animas team paddled to first place at 12:51 a.m. Monday, completing the 260-mile race nearly an hour before another boat would arrive at the finish line. When the race kicked off Saturday morning, 103 boats entered the water. Late Tuesday, only 79 remained.
The Las Animas six-man team won first place overall, and first place in the Unlimited category.
"It felt awesome," 28-year-old San Antonio resident William Russell said.
"But we're pretty humble about it," echoed fellow team member Sam Ritchie, 23, of Philadelphia.
Both Russell and Ritchie completed the "toughest canoe race in the world" in previous years, and many of the crew members are former overall champions of the race.
"We've won the race three times," said 31-year-old team member Andrew Stephens, of Austin, gesturing to his cousin, Russell.
"When you finish, you're body is beat up afterwards, Russell said.
With multiple Safaris under their belts, including team captain Jeff Wueste who has completed the race more than a dozen times, boat 314 was determined to finish with the fastest time.
"So one of the super unique things about the race this year is the two top teams raced together almost the entire way," Russell said, referring to second place boat 154, which included team members Gaston Jones, Fred Mynar, Logan Mynar, Jeff Glock, Max Feaster and Kyle Mynar. "That never happens."
Russell and Stephens said the two boats were neck-and-neck until mile 200, then slowly began to separate.
Boat 154 finished the race in second place at 1:54 a.m. Monday, in 40 hours and 51 minutes.
Reflecting on the race, Ritchie said the team worked well together in a continuous paddle. Laughing, he recalled team member Daniel Cruz falling asleep and waking up believing he died, possibly because of heat exhaustion and general fatigue.
"He woke up asking if he was dreaming ... then he said 'I feel amazing' and starts paddling," Ritchie said.
"He was a born-again athlete," team captain Wueste said. "He was witnessing to me after that."
During Tuesday's Safari awards ceremony, the team accepted individual plaques and the 4-feet-tall champion trophy, displaying the engraved names of past winners.
When asked if the team has plans to compete in the 2012 Safari, Russell responded, "Yes. We just want to keep our names on the trophy."

Reds turnaround no surprise to Rio
Rio Ferdinand insists Manchester United's rapid rise up the Premier League has not taken him by surprise.It is just a calendar month since United were spinning towards a damaging defeat at Aston Villa at the end of a week that had started with a narrow escape against Wolves and a tame derby draw with Manchester City.United appeared incapable of sustaining a title challenge and major questions were being asked of the quality in Sir Alex Ferguson's squad.But Ferdinand insists he never lost faith."I do believe it," he said. "When I look around the changing room I see a fantastic bunch of players."I never doubt them or what they are capable of. If we concentrate and are focussed on doing the things we are asked, we are difficult to play against."
