Nani's future with Manchester United in doubt
Manchester United winger Luis Nani wants his future with the club to be sorted out soon amidst fears that the former is keen to sell him after a collapse in contract talks.
Nani is keen to carry on with the club, but is not sure whether the club wants to do the same.
The Portuguese star's advisors have been trying to sort out a new contract since the end of last season but without success.
United were ready to hand him an increase on his 90,000 pound-a-week deal that has two years left to run in May, The Sun reports.
United proposed a salary rise of between 30,000 pounds and 40,000 pounds a week, but it is understood his demands exceeded what was on offer.
United immediately called a stop to negotiations despite Nani's advisors then lowering their initial demands.
Nani, on a three-week break after reaching the semi-finals of Euro 2012, has still not heard anything from the club and he will not be going on the pre-season tour of South Africa and China.
The star now wants his future sorted before the chief executive David Gill, boss Alex Ferguson and the squad fly out in 12 days. (ANI)
Top Headlines
Nani is a great player. ManU cant just let him go!
Nani has been a great inspiration at united and if we are to lose him we will suffer yet another big loss after Cristiano Ronaldo and I'm not ready or should I say we are not ready to let go of Nani and I would love to admit that we do need him if we wish to reclaim our title next season...So please Sir Alex don't let him go!!!!
It is good for fergie to retain nani in united because of his great talent and passion given a chancr also berbertov can assist united .

The Java EE jars in the javax.* groups in the Maven Central repository are the ones provided by Sun. What if you want to use another vendor's specification and implementation jars?
Unfortunately, Maven doesn't understand "is an implementation of". For example, if you declare a dependency on the MyFaces JSF implementation, and you have a transitive dependency on Sun's JSF reference implementation, you will end up with both of them on your classpath because Maven can't tell they are the same thing.
The same applies if you host an internal repository and want to use IBM's or BEA's Java EE implementations, which aren't available in the public repository.
The Servlet API jar is generally not a problem because it is almost always declared with 'provided' scope, which takes it out of transitive dependency resolution. Otherwise you might end up with one of Geronimo's Servlet 2.5 API jars, as well as Sun's servlet-api-2.5.jar on your classpath.

In March 2013, Eriny Y. decided to drop by the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan to peruse the adoptable animals. That's when she met a special black-and-white kitty named Hamper, since renamed Lucy, and the two became inseparable. She shared the following story with us:
When I first saw Lucy at the Adoption Center, I asked if I could meet her because I thought her lazy eyes were adorable. The moment her cage opened, she started licking my fingers and purring. I knew I had to have her. I was hooked! She came home with me, and with a bit of time, she began to trust me.
Eventually, she started to curl up in bed with me and fall asleep as I scratched her head. She now insists on sleeping with me every night! She also loves her kitty treats and her catnip toys.
Whenever I leave the room, Lucy meows until I come back. At the end of the day, when I come home from work, she meows as though she is telling me about her day.
I love sharing my home with my adorable companion, and she has enriched my life in so many ways. I'm so thankful I decided to take that trip to the ASPCA on the off chance I might find a new friend.
Lucy has adjusted very well, and she makes me so happy to come home every day. Thank you so much, ASPCA!
omg, what a beautiful story. Thank you for sharing!
I am so happy for you and Lucy! There is nothing greater than knowing she has a forever home.
Lucy is beautiful!! My black and white kitty passed away last year and he was the best!! Good luck to the both of you and thank you for saving Lucy's life!!
Oh, she is so adorable. So glad that she found a forever happy home and someone who treats her like the little princess she is!! She looks like a very spoiled kitty!! :)
I am very happy for you and your new fur baby.
She is a Beautiful Baby! I know that Lucy is glad you visited the ASPCA that "PERRRFECT DAY! We also enjoy the "Perrrfect" love of our cats. Thank You for sharing.
I have two rescues that hooked me immediately. One thinks she is a princess and the other is such a baby...he always wants to be held. I love rescued cats. They are such a blessing.
I love this story!! I have 4 kitties and they are such a joy to come home to. I work 3rd shift and I think of each of them through the night, their cute little ways and I miss them and can't wait to see them in the morning! My oldest, Louie, is such a mommy/daddy kitty. He is our oldest but the most spoiled, well, all 4 are spoiled rotten. Louie, however, is our little boy and he wants all the attention. I can be in the kitchen and he'll pick up one of his catnip toys in his mouth and carry it around and cry out for me until I come and hug and kiss him. He purrs and purrs. He loves to sleep with me. In the morning, I usually take a nap when I get home and he is ready to go to sleep with mommy. All 4 of my fur babies are so precious to me!!
Why is that money-making comment on here? I thought that this forum was only for posts about the animals.

That's right. Ohio.
So, I'd like to be able to say I'm here for patriotic reasons, as the photo suggests. Ohio is the state that always votes for the winner. Like…always*.
However, I am not here for the noble cause of casting my vote in this fine, fine election. It's too late to register here, anyway.
I'm here to write, fuck, and be merry.
It's working out pretty fucking well so far.
AND OMG OMG OMG TOMORROW NANOWRIMO STARTS OMG! NaNoWriMo is the month where all the nutjobs who think they're writers, and all the crazies who have hopes to be writers, sit down and write an entire fucking book in one short month.
It's fun! It's intense! It's…well, it's actually what a lot of writers do every month. What I theoretically should have been doing the last…um…six months. But, do what can you do, right?
What can you do?
Join me if you want. I just checked my profile and it's pretty unspectacular…but if you're registered on NaNoWriMo.org, add me as a friend. I'll try to add a photo and novel info shortly.
*Yeah I totally don't check out facts before I publish blog entries. See the comments for more details. :)

The new Bush candidate, George P. Bush, Jeb's kid
by Ziks511 - 11/26/12 6:32 AM
he's half Hispanic, speaks fluent Spanish, and served in the Navy on station off the coast of Iran during part of the Afghan war. Then again, the article in Slate magazines web site says he served "in" Afghanistan.
Am I overly nit-picky when I point out that Afghanistan has no coastline? or is the author Geographically Challenged?
GP wants to be Texas Land Commissioner as his first step into politics. Well, I suppose the good news is that he's Jeb's kid and is thus unlikely to suffer from genetic impairment.

Thinking Outside the Crayon Box at the Friday Nights Art Table
Submitted by Sarah Bailey Hogarty on
Guest blogger Danica Gomes is an intern in the Public Programs Department.
The art table has become a fixture of Friday Nights at the de Young. Every Friday kids, adults, regulars, and newcomers all crowd around paper-covered tables to take part in the evening's hands-on art project. The projects are created and led by one of three museum artists, Suzanne Couture, Christian Davies, or Lisa Hubbard, and are always reflective of and inspired by special exhibitions. This summer, drawing on Picasso: Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris, the art table has adapted Picasso's definitive modes of expression and represented themes into activities designed for the general public.

Young Professionals Network
Jays Care Foundation offers students, recent graduates and young leader's an opportunity to join the Young Professionals Network (YPN).
The primary objective of the YPN is connecting like-minded, philanthropic individuals, complimenting and supporting the Young Professionals Committee's initiatives and the advancement of Jays Care Foundation's mission to invest in kids in need from coast to coast by raising awareness and funds within the young professional community.
The YPN offers members various engagement opportunities annually, including invitations to attend speaker series networking events, Young Professionals night at the ballpark, YPC hosted events and a variety of volunteer opportunities.
Become a network member by donating a minimum of $150 to Jays Care annually. Membership includes:
Young Professionals Committee
The Jays Care Foundation's Young Professionals Committee (YPC) is a volunteer opportunity for Toronto's young professionals to utilize their leadership and management skills, creativity, passion, talent and social networks to engage in the Toronto Blue Jays community investment efforts to benefit Canada's children and youth. Currently, 20 young professionals sit on the Committee and manage the strategic direction and development.
ChangeUp Challenge Campaign
This season, the YPC launched their Second Annual ChangeUp Challenge, a unique fundraising campaign that challenged individuals, groups and corporations to step up to the plate, contribute towards community change and solicit pledges from their networks. The success of the campaign concluded with the ChangeUp Celebration A Night at the Ballpark in a Rogers Centre luxury suite on September 12, 2014, as the Blue Jays took on the Rays. The YPC hosted over 250 young professionals who participated in the campaign to celebrate and enjoy a fun night, which included food and beverages, interactive activities and an opportunity to win great prizes!
We are excited to share the 2nd annual YPC ChangeUp Challenge was a tremendous success, raising over $150,000 in support of Jays Care! The funds raised through the ChangeUp are earmarked to fund the building of a Blue Jays Youth Zone in the Bridletowne Circle YMCA. This YMCA will be located in the priority neighbourhood of Steeles-L'Amoreaux, where more than 50% of residents are physically inactive and access to safe community space is crucial.
Thank you to our sponsors, fellow young professionals and friends who supported!

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To determine whether you have human leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA-B27) on the surface of your cells; to help assess the likelihood that you have an autoimmune disorder associated with the presence of HLA-B27
When to Get Tested?
When you have symptoms of arthritis-like chronic joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation in certain areas of your body, such as your lower back, hips, neck, and chest, or have painful inflammation of the eyes called uveitis, especially if you are male and the symptoms began in your early 30s
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
HLA-B27 is a specific protein (termed a human leukocyte antigen or HLA) that is found on cell surfaces. The term HLA-B27 is also used to refer to the gene that codes for the HLA-B27 protein. The HLA-B27 test determines the presence or absence of HLA-B27 protein on the surface of a person's white blood cells.
Human leukocyte antigens are proteins that help the body's immune system identify its own cells and distinguish between "self" and "nonself." Everyone has an inherited combination of HLA genes that code for the many antigens present on the surfaces of their cells. The presence or absence of each antigen creates a distinctive HLA combination for each person.
HLA-B27 is found in about 6% of the U.S. population. People with HLA-B27 have an increased likelihood of developing autoimmune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis (AS), juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), reactive arthritis (of which one subset is Reiter syndrome), and isolated acute anterior uveitis. HLA-B27 has also been linked with inflammatory bowel disease and a range of other chronic conditions.
While HLA-B27 has not been established as a cause of any of these disorders, there is a higher prevalence of the antigen in those affected. For example, even though only 6% of the population has HLA-B27, approximately 88% of people with ankylosing spondylitis are positive for HLA-B27.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.

text: I don't like that last quote but in the end that might the right thing to do. If that injury has still not healed, maybe we'd better of letting it healed "completely" (if that's possible) so starting next year, he can play up to the end of his contract relatively injury-free. I'd rather see that than watch him rushing back and get injured again and rush back again and get injured again and again and again... and in the end play around 50% of the season and bring not much because he is not healthy.

Hi Jon! Van Cleef & Arpels Bois d'Iris for me today
Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho, it's back to work I go.
Ruth Mastenbroek EDP today.
Good afternoon.
Une Voix Noire
Do happy
Nimitz by Paris Bleu
Schools not back, so no work as yet. Time to clear away
the mayhem of Christmas and New Year!
My SOTD is Rive Gauche.
A belated Happy New Year to you all. May you enjoy health
and prosperity in 2013 (and carry on smelling fantastic!)
A woman without perfume is like a flower without a scent.
Nothing today (!). I slept poorly and was too tired at 7.00am to perform the mental gymnastics required for picking something to wear.
Best to all.
...............Bonjour Mesdames!
................Pierre Cardin - Iris Sauvage
Hello all. Etro Heliotrope, original version.
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
Good afternoon,
I'm still off work this week. Kewart's plan was mine too - cleaning and getting rid of the Christmas stuff. It always feels liberating to me.
I have Boxeuses and Forreau Noir on me. The Boxeuses with the Scandal animalic remainders from last night combined smell divine. My words... more animalic leather required in Boxeuses. So, let's turn to Fourreau Noir, which is quite perfect in what it promises.
Best to all

Good morning!
Getting some heavy snow this morning, glad I don't have to go out today.
SotD is Hermes Rose Ikebana.
Have a great day!
Good morning everyone!
Happy Birthday stuigi!
I don't know why the kids have another day off from school, but they do. So daughter and I will be going out for lunch together once she figures out what she wants to eat.
SotD is B&BW Black Raspberry & Vanilla

Hi all, l'm just in from work, feeling weary in mind & body as l haven't had a day off since Boxing Day. Also had to do the grocery shopping on the way home, which just about wore me out. l should explain that l walk to work & back, that's ten miles a week! Looking forward to two days off now, catching up on some sleep & clearing Christmas away.
SOTD was Royal Egyptian Amber & Honeysuckle by Lucy B. l'll decide on my SOTE after a bath & a meal.

This and that today!
Hi everyone - Happy New Year!!
We left in such a rush I didn't get a chance to wish y'all happy holidays - I sure hope they were merry and bright! We were visiting the in-laws in Las Vegas for Christmas, and now (since I never mind snow as long as I don't have to shovel it) we're in beautiful Winter Park, Colorado for a bit of skiing ...no broken bones so far, but knock wood as I've got a few days and several slopes to go!
I've been wearing lots of musks lately - I'm in Kiehl's this morning. Y'all have a fantastic day!
Science is not only compatible with spirituality, it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light-years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. ..Carl Sagan
Good morning, good smelling people.
SSS Sienna Musk today. One of the few with the DH seal of approval, quite unexpected as the SSS are so strong he generally winces like a cat smelling a banana. But with a light touch, very pretty smell. Neither feminine nor masculine to my nose, at all.
"What is this secret connection between the soul, and sea, clouds and perfumes? The soul itself appears to be sea, cloud and perfume..." - from Zorba the Greek by Nikos Kazantzakis.
Slathered on my own sandalwood jasmine rose concoction (Myrurgia Maderas de Oriente, Donna Karan Essences Jasmine, and one spritz of Tea Rose, which would otherwise hijack the other two) in hopes this would get me through an MRI of the hip. It didn't. Even with open MRI, claustrophobia made it a no-go.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Stuigi, hugs, yay a b-day!
Crazy, insane day! Hubs goes into work, first day...learns the company got bought out and job was thrown out the window. Then just called a company that was interested in him and he got the job! This has been nuts really! Let's hope this one pans out. Omgosh, crazy.

Sick kids, sick husband, messy house, and it's only January 2nd, but I'm already behind on this month's deadlines... heavens only knows how that got me to Dior Pure Poison today, but it did. Maybe because the color of the box is the same color as my shirt.
Greets, Peeps!
Hopeful vibes for overcoming illness, job stress, claustrophobia and messy house. I mean that.
Bond Mothers.
Evening Folks,
Tdem & Foustie - ♥
Evangeline, don't even joke about skiing and broken bones ! Have fun on the slopes.
Enjoy your well-deserved time off, Teardrop.
Went for MFK - Cologne pour le Soir.
All the very best to all.
Hello all!
No work today, I try to do as little housework as possible,
after all the hard work for a New Year fest at our house yesterday.
I am wearing and really enjoying
First - Van Cleef & Arpels
.............................Happy Birthday, stuigi!
Thanks, Quarry. I just want to add re: messy houses. Never expect to improve your house by more than 20% for company. You will exhaust yourself otherwise and no-one will notice.
What do insomniac perfumers do to fall asleep? They count chypres!
Thanks Jon & gandhajala!
Kalli, that is great news!
l am now bathed & fed, & relaxing in Tom Ford's Amber Absolute. l've made my sample last a long time, but l'll miss it when it's gone. SSS's Champagne de Bois is on my wishlist for this year, though. l find the drydown very similar, & the price much more reasonable!

Evangeline -Enjoy the snow! I'm hoping to do the Winter Park Wipeout in April for my birthday!
I'm fragrance free for now, but only because I'm heading to Ulta where I can maybe find some new ones I haven't tried.
Back to work, hot weather here in S. Fla today...it feels like Summer (weird).
Miel du Bois by Serge Lutens (first time from a sample)
First time wearing this & I loved it. Really good stuff. I'm not a big fan of honey prominent scents but when it's well done, I really appreciate it. I was worried after reading some of the reviews, but I get no 'urine' notes from this. Very nice. I'm not sure I would wear a whole bottle of this, but it sure is a beauty.
This afternoon (another scent, with a nice honey note):
Antaeus by Chanel (from my dwindling decant, thanks lilybelle...wherever you are!)
"All problems are illusions of the mind."
-- Eckhart Tolle
SOTD: Notre Flore Cedre by L'Occitane.
Evelyn by Crabtree and Evelyn from the 90s, pink juice.
SotD is Narciso Rodriguez For Her EdT. I m on my third bottle of this one. I think it goes with everything, yet it s a quite unique scent IMHO.
Woke up to a ribbed Christmas tree this morning; the cats had taken care of the ornaments, and the pine needles had transformed into a green carpet under the tree. I should have realized the poor thing needed water...
Everything passes. Everything changes. Just do what you think you should do.

Back to work today in Chanel Bois des Iles, which seems an appropriate way to start the year.
Calvin Klein Truth - my only fragrant Christmas gift of 2012.
Happy Newyear everyone Sotd is #19.

Drive by posting tonight ... I've been busy helping my son get ready for his Fiesta Bowl party tomorrow. Food had to be made tonight because I won't have time tomorrow. I'm wearing Traversee du Bosphore today, a favorite in the summer heat, but also quite lovely in the cold weather too.
Thinking of everyone ...
I've trademarked the color bleu
Tihota. Yum yum. Why don't they make it anymore *sad face*

Processed by D. Lennon
Encoded by Apex Data Services
John C. Fennell of Duplin County, N.C., enlisted in the Confederate Army on October 1, 1861, at the age of 18. He was stationed at Camp Heath near Scotts Hill on Topsail Sound and remained there until his death of yellow fever in November, 1862.
Of major significance is correspondence (1861-1862) commenting on the yellow fever epidemic in Wilmington, Union troop movements south of New Bern, the capture of loyal Negroes by Union troops, harassment of the civilian population, and blockade running along the coast.
Many of the letters are devoted primarily to a description of routine camp life in a Confederate coastal camp. Topics discussed include measurement for a uniform, expected pay, picket duty, lack of furloughs, camp routine, clothing, army food, conscription, officers, boredom, sickness, and efforts of ministers in the camp.
Also included are a series of letters (1837-1860) of the Cromartie family of Bladen County, N.C. Included in this group is a description (1837) of the courses taught in a Bladen County school and an account (1837) of a trip to Philadelphia. The latter correspondence comments on stagecoach and steamboat travel, a visit in Baltimore, and church attendance. Miscellaneous items include financial papers and a poem about North Carolina.

I'm really pleased with this post. Yes, it's on the heavy side, but its really easy to adjust and it's been solid for me. I bought it because I needed more set back, and the 25mm setback made my bike fit just right.
I have no complaints about it -- it's a great value and good looking to boot.

Comments about Truvativ Stylo T20 Seatpost:
So far its been a great post, I looked at this post because of its price and have not been let down. I use on a 29er configured for trail use and it has been plenty stiff for my large 200+ frame. The seat clamp is the normal 2 bolt configuration and does not creak or allow the seat to slip. The weight is really not really that great of a con, being that the is the cheapest post in the stylo line of posts. So if weight is a concern, look at the t30 or t40 posts.

Which nutrients help lower your risk for cancer? The answer seems to change from day to day, as medical research uncovers new compounds that may be cancer protective and at the same time concludes that others haven't lived up to their cancer reducing potential. Here's the latest on three that show lots of promise for fighting cancer.
Vitamin D: Defense Against Cancer and Tumors
Evidence has been mounting that vitamin D may protect against (or increase survival rates if you have) breast cancer, as well as cancers of the rectum, ovary, prostate, stomach, bladder, esophagus, kidney, lung, pancreas, and uterus, as well as non-Hodgkin lymphoma and multiple myeloma. Recently, researchers uncovered one function of vitamin D that may help explain its anti-tumor talents: In the presence of this vitamin, tumor-suppressing compounds in cells that are normally shut off when a cancer develops keep on functioning.
Many experts recommend supplements as the best source of vitamin D. Why? Very few foods provide it -- they include canned salmon, sardines, and fortified milk and orange juice. Vitamin D is also produced in your skin during exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays. But we're getting less sun exposure, in our efforts to reduce risk for skin cancer. Researchers estimate that one billion people around the world are low on vitamin D, including half of all menopausal women and at least 40 percent of elderly women and men. The recommended daily allowance for D was recently increased to 600 International Units for adults up to age 70, 800 IU thereafter; the safe upper limit is 4,000 IU per day.
Resveratrol: Reduce Cancer Risk, Slow Disease
Resveratrol has been found to block the growth of tumor cells in cancers of the breast, prostate, stomach, colon, pancreas, and thyroid. And in other lab studies, this antioxidant slowed the development of cancers of the esophagus and intestines too. The truly amazing part: Resveratrol has been shown to put the brakes on all stages of cancer -- from DNA damage in cells to when cancerous cells begin to invade surrounding healthy tissue and spread. To find resveratrol, look to red wine, grapes, raspberries, peanuts, and supplements.
Lycopene: Help to Prevent Prostate Cancer
Could this compound, also found in abundance in cooked tomato products like spaghetti sauce, save your prostate? Truth is, research has yielded mixed results. But according to the American Cancer Society, some studies have found that men who get lots of lycopene seem to have lower risk for this common male cancer. Others haven't found a link -- perhaps because not all men carry a fortunate genetic variation called XRCC1 that helps fix DNA damage.
So while the research continues, some nutrients already shine in the war against cancer. Take advantage.
