I absolutely adore her very professional and knowledgeable and very welcoming.
very friendly and very easy to talk to. She takes her time and explains things and procedures to you.
I was referred to Dr. Lockhart by a relative, and I will say it was the best choice I've made. Like the previous reviewer stated, Dr. Lockhart always made me feel like I was her only patient. She took the time to explain in detail what was going on with my body. Not only did she take the time out for myself as a patient, she spent almost an hour at a separate appointment speaking with my husband and helping us construct a plan to get us pregnant. The ladies in the office are nice and approachable. I am pregnant with my first child, and needless to say, I would not entrust my prenatal care or my labor and delivery to any other doctor.
One of my friends reccommended Dr. Lockhart to me and I am so happy that she did because I had such a pleasant experience there. Her staff was nice to me and she was wonderful! We had a long discussion about my condition, she made me feel as if I was her only patient. I was confident that she understood what was happening to me and she explained it to me in great detail but simple to understand. I didnt want to leave the appointment, we had a great comversation. I would definately reccommend her to ANYONE.

|Wine maker notes
|Chateau Meyney's vineyard is planted of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot, on a perfectly-drained gravel soil that provides ideal conditions for grapes ripening. This unusually high share of Petit Verdot explains a particular trait of the wines, which regularly show notes of leather and musk after a period of time. The wine is full-bodied, well-rounded and structured. After ageing, the wine displays the remarkable charm of the best Saint-Estephe: complexity, balance and harmony.
|Chateau Meyney is one of the oldest estates in the Medoc. In 1662, it was a Convent mentioned in records under the names Couvent des Feuillants or Prieure des Couleys. Today, the estate stretches over some of the best hilltops above the Gironde Estuary. The river lying alongside the first rows of vines makes for a majestic, serene landscape. The estate belonged to the Luetkens family for several generations, and was then acquired by Mr Desire Cordier in 1919. In 2004, CA Grands Crus, a subsidiary of the Groupe Credit Agricole, acquired Chateau Meyney, with a determination to strengthen the potential of this outstanding cru. An improvement plan was put together for the entire estate. It is supervised today by Anne Le Naour, the Technical Director, and the consultant oenologist, Hubert de Bouard. The company CA Grands Crus, a fully-owned subsidiary of the Groupe Credit Agricole, became, in 2004, the owner of prestigious Bordeaux estates: Chateau de Rayne Vigneau, 1er Grand Cru Classe Sauternes, Chateau Grand-Puy Ducasse, 5eme Grand Cru Classe Pauillac, Chateau Meyney, Saint-Estephe, Chateau Blaignan, Cru Bourgeois Medoc.

September Red
Another September come and gone. The change from summer to fall, from green to red. I sat on my porch step examining the leaves, mostly brown and crisp now, but there were still some precious red, bright and inspiring. This was the only thing I liked about fall: the red. It was vibrant and exciting while everything else was dull and brown; the grass, the trees, the flowers.
September was a sad time for me, the summer fun was long gone, faded away faster than the green did. I wasn't always like this, so morbid and masochistic. In fact, many, many September's ago I loved the browns and yellows. That was before—well before he disappeared from my life. Mr. Jonathon Kingston , more perfect than any man, or so I thought.
He swept me off my feet about ten September's ago. He came and I couldn't help but fall in love with him.

Wow my first blog...ever! woohoo.(yes woohoo indeed) now on to my topic.
I don't know why every one thinks that final Fantasy VII is the best FF ever. I mean don't get me wrong it's a great game. I enjoyed a lot and yes i am going to buy Advent Children beacuse it is going to kick ass.
but still Final Fantasy VI is the better game it has better music,magic system,story,characters. ok FFVII has better graphics but when it comes right do to it graphics are not the most important thing in the world gameplay and story are. and FFVI exceles at both of them.
In FFVII you save the world prevent armagedon...how cute.In FFVI you play through the end of the world and you have to free the post-apacilptic world from a ruthless dictator.
That is just a few reasons i think FFVI is better than FFVII. i'll touh more on this later now if you'll excuse me i'm gonna go off and smoke a nice doobie.peace

90(+?) Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - June 2014
Pale golden-tinged yellow. Deep aromas of gooseberry, candied pit fruits, green fig, chamomile and sage, with a suave floral topnote. Sappy and penetrating, offering intense nectarine and winter melon flavors complicated by musky notes of coriander and fresh herbs. Becomes sweeter with air and finishes with very good energy and volume, leaving saline and herbal qualities behind. An outstanding Aile d'Argent, one of the best to date.

State of the Union Not Looking So Stately
WASHINGTON, D.C. President Bush's State of the Union address tonight is supposed to be low key, but already it has been transformed into a political campaign rally.
Right-wing Republicans here are building a new P.R. campaign against liberal Bush-bashers, portraying them as a group of dotty Vietnam War-era has-beens. An "Impeachment Forum" lunch of anti-Bush activists here yesterday was reported by the Washington Times as a gathering of geriatric leftovers. Former attorney general and onetime Saddam attorney Ramsey Clark's voice "faltered." Marcus Raskin, founder of the leftish Institute for Policy Studies, was "confused." Cindy Sheehan was depicted as the ditzy, commie-loving "Mother Sheehan."
"Attending yesterday's private lunch were about 100 anti-war activists, many of them silver-haired, bespectacled veterans of the 1960s in linty sweaters and Naturalizers, nibbling on vegan pizza and bean sprouts," reported the Times.
"On the wall was a painted collage of slogans ("Make Love Not War") and nostalgic faces such as Joan Baez, Bella Abzug and a younger, thinner Ralph Nader."

By contrast, the College Republicans (of Jack Abramoff fame) were getting set for a "Support the Troops" rally for Bush, bouyed by the appearance of Senate Majority leader Bill Frist.
Key topics for Bush's speech tonight:
Health Care: We now devote 15 percent of the nation's economy to health caresome $1.7 trillion. The number of people without health insurance rose by 800,000 last year to 46 million, and is expected to keep on growing. As health insurance premiums for workers rocket upward, coverage declines: Half of all small businesses no longer provide health benefits. Half of all personal bankruptcies are due to health care bills.
The administration's remedy is limp proposal to give consumers more information so they can shop around to buy the plan that best suits their needsuseless to people without money to buy any of them, good or bad. The president wants people to save for their medical crises by putting money into health savings accounts, which in theory can be used as backup in case of catastrophe. Most people don't have any money to invest in such plans. As always, Bush is sure to repeat his demand to limit malpractice suit damages.
Economy: Bush will try to make his tax cuts permanent, a move that would push the budget deficit higher. The 2005 budget deficit was $319 billion. Goldman Sachs predicts it will reach $5 trillion in the next decade. A year ago, then Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan declared, "The federal budget is on an unsustainable path. . . . Unless that trend is reversed, at some point these deficits would cause the economy to stagnate or worse."
National Security: The president will once more defend his post-911 NSA surveillance program, claim victory in Iraq and Afghanistan, and extol the export of democracy (the Hamas victory in Palestine not withstanding) around the world. However, the war in Iraq rages on. The Taliban are back in Afghanistan. Radical fundamentalist Muslims are spreading across the Middle East from Iran, through Iraq, and now into the Palestinian territories.

One of the more peculiar January transfer rumours to surface over the past few weeks has been talk of former Everton defender Joleon Lescott making a surprise return to Goodison Park on loan (via The Telegraph).
These stories were first published at the start of the month, with David Moyes stating he'd be delighted to see Lescott come back, under the right circumstances.
Even with their manager quizzed on the subject, supporters remained sceptical of such a move being feasible, yet during the past few days the rumours seem to have gathered pace (per The Mirror).
Given the sour nature of his 2009 departure—which culminated in a unwelcome transfer request and Lescott eventually being banished away to train with the youth team—a return would certainly be an interesting viewing.
If there is indeed substance in this, and the Toffees do have a chance of bringing back a player once revered by fans, here's five reasons why it would be smart business.

08/20/2012 04:47 PMPosted by ObliteronAs someone who has never used the RMAH and will probably never use it, if the price of gold drops down to the levels of 0.25 per M then won't the price of items on the GAH multiply by up to a factor of ten for top end items; as it will be so simple for people to acquire the gold necessary?
Only the stack size has changed for gold listings (increased from 100,000 to 1,000,000); all other numbers have stayed the same. The minimum price per stack is still the same, and you will still be limited to 100 total stacks. I've updated the main post slightly to make that bullet more clear.
This will only apply to gold auctions made after the patch, by the way. Gold auctions that already exist when 1.0.4 hits will only be valued at 100,000 gold per stack.
There are still lots of improvements that can be made, many improvements are listed in this thread: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6307801324
Although some of the points mentioned there are being addressed, there are other functionality features that would be great to have!
That said, many players already complain about items being "sniped" off the auction house at the last second, and allowing to sort by time remaining will only increase the frequency at which this happens, thus increasing player frustration. The ability to sort on time remaining should NOT be added.
You realize how easily this concept is right now though don't you?
Lets say I search for an item that has Vitality, Strength, and Cold Damage.
I up the amounts of Vitality and Strength to the highest I can find.
There are 3 items that show up that are all awesome.
Those 3 items also have 1D12H left on them.
I write them down, come back in 35 hours and find them again.
Watch them for around 20-30 minutes.
Bid around the 5 minute mark.
Items are mine for bid price now.
The only thing they did was make it easier to initially find the item.
If you do not want people to be doing this and feel that you get ripped off.
Simple. When you bid on the said item, put your "BID" amount insanely high. You get the item and what money was left over comes back to you.
Bid Option
I've seen many players complain about items being sniped off the auction house at the last second after they had the winning bid for several minutes or hours. I've also seen the suggestion to increase the time remaining on an item before it expires so more bids are allowed to prevent items from being sniped.
Suggestion: If an item receives a bid within the last five minutes (five is just an example, it could be more or less), then the time remaining is bumped up to five minutes. This allows people to keep bidding on the item without extending the time remaining indefinitely, it prevents items from being sniped at the last second, allows the seller to make some more money than they would if the buyout amount is not reached, and Blizzard can collect more gold or money from the transaction.
Suggestion: If a bid is placed within the last five minutes (again, five is just an example), future bids can only be placed by players who have previously bid on the item. This way if several players are engaged in a bidding war, one of them is guaranteed to get the item, and they only have each other to compete with rather than the whole community.
08/20/2012 04:35 PMPosted by CamNo, I can't. I can't cancel them right now. By the time I am able to cancel them someone will have the chance to buy them, resulting in a loss due to the changing market.
Forgive me. When you said 'gold auctions' I assumed you meant the gold you are selling, instead of auctions you currently have on the gold auction house.

#825677 45 Years of Following the Latics
Posted by pcassist on 09 January 2016 - 12:45 PM
May I first of all say, I don't post much but read a lot and I'm totally disillusioned at the present time.
I started following OAFC 45 years ago when I got married to Barbara and we moved from Droylsden to Shaw.
It was a very exciting and interesting time and as my family and business interests flourished we then moved back to the North Manchester area but I had been bitten by the bug, and OAFC was in my blood, I encouraged my wife and my 2x boys to follow the Blues at every opportunity we could.
We became both sponsors and ardent club followers of Latics, we went through the ups and down that this brings you to the heights of promotion, the Premier greed years, Wembley we did it all home and away.
Then came the lows relegation down the divisions, the Chris Moore era both good and bad, administration and bucket collecting we did it all. Then along comes my pal Sean and his pound coin with Neil Joy and we all rallied round because OAFC is our club not just the wim of somebody who has a bit of money or see's a way of making a fast dollar.
The 3x Amigo's appeared on the scene and invested in our little club but some very bad management decisions we're made and eventually after lot's and lot's of battles with the council, the housing crash it all fell apart and two of the saviours left the club in limbo taking their ball and bat with them but leaving their gofer as chairman with very limited support.
We carried on sponsoring and supporting the club to a very high level, it all started going sour for me about 4x years ago when Barbara was diagnosed with MND, but we carried on going to the games with her in her wheelchair slowly disintegrating away in front of our eyes, we'd sponsored Jean Yves M'Voto that year and he actually came to the house to see Barbara in these last days and she loved it, such a smile to lighten up the start of the dark days. In August she passed on and to me it seemed the doom of Oldham everything has gone downhill since then, I'm not blaming anybody but where are we now:-
The local circus act, manager after manager. Bad decisions all round, poor management and even poorer results. I'm now at my wits end with supporting the club I've loved for the last 45 years. I'm now moving to Worcester to follow my heart and my new life, but I still read the internet and I'm on Latics PlayerHD I even still try to go to as many home and away games as possible, but I'm totally disillusioned by what's happening, so could we be given some answers please.
Simon Corney - please tell us what you are trying to achieve at the moment, is your heart still in the club if not move on and let others try and bring our little club back to life and Simon please don't bring Barry into any more major decisions, a puppet for you he may be but unfortunately the majority of fans hate him for one reason or another and he only upsets people with his blunt attitude.
Finally, a statement of the clubs intentions would be good, silence isn't always golden unlike the latter years of my life.

Posted by LaticsPete on 24 April 2016 - 06:13 AM
He was the wrong appointment for us but as far as I'm aware did nothing malicious towards Latics when he was here or afterwards
The man is a human being, has had a lousy year and he and his family must be feeling rotten . He has tried to be a success at something he obviously loves and failed. Would any of us want to be in that position?
Time for him to re-assess his ambitions probably, but also time for us to stop seeming to revel in his misfortune.

#818082 Thanks for the memories but .......
Posted by joe_lead on 30 November 2015 - 07:53 PM
I grew up much closer to Maine Road than Boundary Park. My Grandad would take me to watch City on the occasions when my Dad couldnt take me to Oldham. I could have supported City but in those days you tended to support the team your Dad supported, lets call it an arranged marriage.
Living in Manchester none of my mates were Oldham supporters, so when I started going to watch Oldham without my Dad I had to make new friends. So I found new friends and what started as a common passion for Oldham grew into family friendships where we now share visits, holidays, birthdays, weddings and unfortunately funerals. When I look back I thought it took a lot of guts for a young lad to go and watch Oldham when all his mates were off watching City every weekend, but I know that I made the right decision even though at the time my love was blind and my dad wouldve kicked me over next doors back wall if Id chosen otherwise.
There would be a dozen or so of us who would meet up all those years ago in the old 2nd Division. Like my City mates we all grew up with a common allegiance to a club, we sang on the terraces around the country, like them we had heroes that we idolised. But thats where the commonality ended. We got to talk to our heroes when they were warming up or taking a throw-in and wed meet them at the open days and possibly again in the street or at a petrol station. We truly believed we were part of our club, we could access our club and talk to players, club officials and Directors, whereas my City friends could only reach out and barely touch theirs. Our club promoted a family image, an image recognised across the country, yes there were other family clubs but it meant we were slightly different than the norm and it was a badge we could wear with pride. With the family image came a personal responsibility to consider those around you and moderate your language when giving the opposition and officials pelters, but this meant that the patter was generally humorous rather than abusive. There was also the word unfashionable that prefixed Oldham which we always assumed was aimed at us for wearin the same T-shirt and jeans for 3 seasons when everyone else was wearing Fred Perry and Tachinni. Whatever it meant, it gave us a unique identity.
Winning wasnt everything to us, because our love wasnt shallow it was forged by a close association with club and fellow supporters alike, it was in our genes, or more likely it simply drained out of us after 40 years that saw us win only 2 promotions. However, our alternative to winning was a sense of pride that for many years we were associated with playing attacking football. I recall our goal scored was regularly one of the highest in all leagues. Admittedly our goals against were equally the highest but that never mattered because it was entertainment and there was lots to talk about post-match. I can also remember feeling smug when people would never put us down for a no-score draw because there were long periods of time when 0-0 was so infrequent. Our history is peppered with characters who kept you talking after the final whistle, not blessed with world-class skill but more of honest endeavours. I admit that there were also dismal times, but you always knew that there was a commitment within then club to turn things around.
All of the above were positive attributes that founded the strong association between club and supporters. I accept that Society has changed and I accept that Football has changed but most of these attributes are maintained through a top down club ethos rather than any amount of financial input. The performances on the pitch for several years have been a direct reflection of the (lack of) leadership shown by those at the top. Outside of minimising expenditure there appears no visible strategies for improving the entertainment offered. It has been painful watching something you have grown up with being treated with such frivolous contempt.
Weve been through a lot of turmoil in recent times but even up until 2005 there were six or seven of the original dozen would meet up for a couple of pints before and after the games. Last year only two of us attended matches this year theres been only me. The strategy of (over) reliance on lone players has been counter-productive eroding the connection between supporter and player, and preventing any opportunity for continuous improvement. Recruitment of borderline competent footballers and managers intent on playing low-risk, dont lose anti-football has reduced the entertainment value to zero. A family image that took decades to build up was cut down in one week of the Ched Evans affair. For all of us there has been a gradual cutting of the positive identity that originally bound us to the club, but worse than this, any hope of the future return of these values have now been replaced with a belief that this rudderless ship will be a haven for any workshy fop that wants to earn their coin for the near future. My love has stopped and my respect and admiration replaced by dislike and irritation.
The final but strongest bond that motivates me to attend is now my Dad. He took me to my first game for which I will be forever grateful, and he still goes regularly as he has done for nearly 80years. Circumstances over the last couple of seasons have meant that Ive been in the area for many weekends which have allowed me to attend many more games, and just like my informative years I go along with my dad. We sit and put the world to right and blether about the past players and the characters in the crowd and how we would all stand in the same place in the paddocks, the banter youd have with the linesman and players.
This weekend at Crewe we were reminiscing about the lies people would shout to Ronnie Blair about what the opposition winger had said about him, and Ronnie would give you a knowing wink after hed sent him into the advertising boards. Just as wed stopped laughing one of our own supporters shouted a tirade of abuse at Brown from behind. Neither of us said anything, I could see my Dad shaking his head though, in fact he shook his head that many times on Saturday Im surprised it didnt fall off.
It wasnt a nice atmosphere at the end of the match and I was glad to be going home, and as we slowly walked back to the car my Dad turned to me and said Do you only come to the games because of me? I replied Not really, I enjoy the time with you and its just like what we did all those years ago After a few seconds he stopped and said I think thatll be my last game, I dont enjoy it anymore, lets create some new memories just you, me, (your wife) and the grand kids. My eyes filled up as I realised Saturday was probably the last time Ill ever watch Oldham with my Dad.
So with that final tie for me attending matches being severed what about my relationship with Oldham. Well weve been growing apart in recent years, in spite of the difficulties weve faced I can honestly say that I tried to make it work but it is now clear to me that we want different things and are going in different directions. I do not see any of attributes that originally drew me to Oldham, and none of my friends like her that much anymore. The increasing arguing and bickering, some of it in public in front of our friends, has become tiresome and destructive. All the good times and laughs are clearly in the past and I will always treasure them however I dont see any future in trying to make it work when all you do is ignore the people that have cared about you. I think its time for a trial separation.
Ive no intention of finding another club. I think this has come at a time when football in general is losing my interest and has been sliding down my own set of priorities for some years. There's far too much football being broadcast and far too much money involved in a game which ought to be primarily about participating rather than spectating. I may be enticed to return if there is a change in ethos at the club, an ethos that would set us aside for being different and doing the right thing, the suggestion of food collections is a small but important step in the right direction.

#817817 An open letter to the club
Posted by oafcprozac on 29 November 2015 - 02:25 PM
I have always prided myself on my support for MY home town, team and club. When I first started following Oldham Athletic I could have easily chosen Liverpool or Everton the two top teams of the time. Or perhaps gone following United or City, both were in the doldrums but both were relatively cheap and all my mates followed one or the other. But, No. I chose my dads team Oldham Athletic. The team I fell in love with prided themselves on being a family club with a loyal fanbase that had been brought up on attacking football. Theyd been struggling in the second tier for 12 years but had always tried to play the right way and the number one aim was to entertain. Football like it or not is an entertainment business and the number one aim is goals. I was lucky I began supporting the team in 1986 and for the next eight years or so it was thrills and spills all the way, there were a couple of poor periods in late 1987 and late 1988 but overall the team won the majority of its home games, ok we were crap away but week after week you were guaranteed goals at Boundary Park. Another thing, the directors were local men, the players were contracted to the club and we had stability with a management team that wanted to win football matches played the right way. The ground was a dump, we didnt care it was ours and we were all in it together from the chairman to the tea lady.
Fast forward to the summer of 2003, my darkest days as a Latics fan but also some of the best. I was proud to be a Latics fan seeing how we rallied round and pulled together to try and save our club, the togetherness I felt in that 2003/04 season is something that will live with me forever. We knew the good times were well and truly behind us and the club was fighting for its very existence. Luckily three New York Businessmen rode in and saved the club from oblivion. They had great ideas to move the club forward, yet were halted and then delayed by a council lacking vision.
Still we began to move forward on the pitch and between 2005-09 we saw FOUR consecutive top ten finishes which saw the club in a good place and consistently in the right half of the league. However, eventually those frustrations off the field resulted in the Chairman walking away and around the same time saw John Sheridan sacked. Ever since our fortunes on the field have nosedived, the fanbase has become demoralised and half of those fans that worked so hard to keep the club afloat in 2003, the same fans that were simply happy to have a club have walked away. Washing their hands of a club that is only heading one way.
It wont happen They say, well ask Grimsby Town, Tranmere Rovers, Stockport County, Lincoln City, Wrexham etc. all similar sized clubs to us these days. Well it happened to them!
With each cock up we inch closer to oblivion.
2015 has been a nightmare for Oldham Athletic
Ched Evans Saga. Were these the actions of a family club, one I and my kids proudly support?
Lee Johnson to Barnsley. He was under contract, he stays until the end of the season. THE CLUB COMES FIRST.
Dean Holden being placed in charge. Just what was the plan here? IT smacked of little Oldham giving up and part of the reason we have only 3 wins in 28 league games. An unforgivable lack of ambition.
Darren Kelly A joke of an appointment handled pathetically and stinks of rying to save a few quid.
Re-signing: Croft and Wellens Both well past it jobs for the boys and obvious external interference.
Dunn: A mistake from the start.
The Stand: It should have been OAFCs moment to savour, it should be Simon Corneys legacy. Instead it will be remembered for delay after delay. It feels like an anti-climax when it should be celebrated for the wonderful achievement it is!
Barry Owen: Need I say any more?
I know times have changed in football and many clubs of our size live hand to mouth, I can cope with that. Thats the reality of 3rd tier football however, the clubs very identity is at stake. A procession of loanees year on year kills any affinity people feel with the club. I assure you that, the team yesterday would not have witnessed such vitriol if it wasn't so top heavy with loanees and short term deals. Fans can see when players are holding back and not giving their all. That is a bare minimum we expect. Oldham is a hard working town but not a well paid town. £22 + travel + refreshments is a large chunk of your average Oldhamers income, they deserved more yesterday.
I can honestly say in my 30 years of supporting the cub I have never felt so detached from the club, The fans, owners, directors, management, coaches and players have never felt so distant. Why? Well just what is our aim as a club? What is the vision to move the club forward? What is the vision to make the club sustainable in a way that will see crowds improve? Some fans are gone for good BUT there is a big interest in the club in Oldham, many fans cant afford it or are lapsed but a modicum of success or even consistent attacking football will see people return. Make the product marketable with a team the fans can identify in and some will return.
How do we change things and move forward?
(1) Have an owner that is either here more often or delegates true power to the board can the present directors be trusted to do this?! If not show true desire to find a viable owner that can do the above.
(2) Develop a manageable vision statement how the club will move forward in the next THREE to FIVE years
(3) Employ a manager and coaching team with an ethos of attacking and scoring goals not simply to go out and not lose. Like it or not this has been the ethos of our last FOUR full time managers.
(4) Insist home grown talent gets a chance on merit. Contracted players are OUR players so why the need for a constant stream of short term deals and loanees? Emergency loans should be just that. Not used as an excuse to bin the previous managers contracted players.
(5) Reintroduce reserve team football to help develop our own players and keep the squad fit.
(6) Stop treating the fans like idiots with the constant criticism in the press.
I do have sympathy for a lot of what Simon Corney has had to put up with in the last 6 years since his partners pulled out but if we keep with the present board we will continue to stagnate and slip towards oblivion. I know Simon doesnt want that and Im sure one day he will be very proud of his legacy the North Stand. Will he be as proud to see us struggling in league 2 next season, because with the current board and management structure it is inevitable?
I feel we have reached a tipping point over the last few weeks, fans are voting with their feet the Millwall attendance will be sub 3,000 I guarantee it. After what I have seen at Chesterfield and yesterday with fans arguing with themselves and the reaction the players got. You know what I simply dont want to be part of such a toxic set up. So with a heavy heart Im going to take a break from following the team I love away from home initially, until I see a change in atmosphere and maybe even home games too, season tickets or not.
I know I'm not alone, there's a close group of about ten of us that go everywhere that number has dwindled massively over the last month - many of us have missed only 6 games or so in the last three years and when lunatics like us are fed up and walking away, I really do think it is time to sit up and take notice.

#846225 Hillsborough
Posted by dave_ragg1984 on 26 April 2016 - 11:19 PM
It astonishes me that with all the information that is freely available about how the disaster happened, people still believe the lie pedalled by the police that it was caused by drunken ticketless fans.
There were ticketless fans at the game. But no more than any other game of that magnitude. And no more than what the police should be expected to cope with.
The overcrowding at the turnstiles wasn't caused by people without tickets. But by the fact that 10,000 people had to enter through only 7 turnstiles, and poor policing and organisation run by an inexperienced match commander led to massive congestion at the turnstiles and there not being a chance that they would all get in by 3pm.
And then add in the other factors that lead to that deadly crush. And then there is the pathetic response to the disaster as it was ongoing and afterwards by the police and the emergency services.
But no, its easier to just slag off the group of people you don't like and ignore any facts. For whatever reason, people will believe what they want to believe.
One thing I really don't like about a lot of football fans is that they don't see and treat fans of other clubs as the same as themselves. A lot of people don't like Liverpool fans and instead of seeing this as another, and the worst, example of the authorities treating football fans (us) on the whole like shit, they just see it as just Liverpool fans who deserve it. But this whole sorry episode isn't just about Liverpool fans. It could have been any of us. A year later we were in the FA Cup Semi final, so really, it could have been us in that situation.
This victory today, albeit a quarter of a century too late, is a victory for those families who will now hopefully get some serious justice for the killing of their loves ones. And its a victory for those supporters who had been accused wrongfully of causing the deaths of their fellow fans. As human beings, we should be glad that those families get a bit of closure and will hopefully now get justice. And as football fans we should all be glad that fellow football fans, whose scarf might be a different colour and who we might see as friends or rivals (depending on your view), will get some justice for their tragic loss of life and have been cleared of causing it.
No person should ever got to a football match and lose their life because of the incompetence of the people who should be protecting them.

#827508 "Forget the past, enjoy the present & look forward to the future"
Posted by sjk2008 on 13 January 2016 - 11:53 PM
The start of the season was full of optimism amongst the OAFC fanbase - new stand, vacant managerial position, better players tied down to longer term contracts. We could only look up.
How wrong could we be? Getting straight to the point - this season has been shit. Not just a little bit, but massively shit. From the moment we hired Darren Kelly, to the moment he was (clearly) undermined by Dunn - and then the appointment of Dunn, all whilst watching some of the most disappointing football and calamitous defending we've seen for some time.
Blame for all this lies with nobody but the board and they have to take that criticism, no matter how fierce, on the chin. Yes Corney says it got a bit personal at times, but that happens when fans get frustrated and consistently let down. I've been guilty of slating him time and time again this season, and that is even with me still being grateful to him that we do still actually have a club.
Since the Dowie & Sheridan days, we've had some right shit rock up at BP (Penney, Dickov, Holden, Kelly & Dunn) and those decisions have been Corney's. LJ aside, who despite the way we feel about his exit was a relative success, the general managerial situation post "Shez part one" has been dire.
However.....bringing Shez back at this time - a time when we're as deep in the shit as we have been for a while, a time when we cant string a performance together for 90 minutes and a at a time when we need wins immediately - it just feels "right" - do you know what I mean?
We can all look back at the fact we've parted company before - the poor form prior to his departure and the Hughes/Bell Vue incident - but even then the situation on the field wasn't that bad, was it? I think we would all take that situation right now, wouldn't we? Top half with just over a handful of games to go?
John Sheridan is a club legend to some OAFC fans, hell, probably most OAFC fans. He's certainly one of the best players I have seen at the club, and I still look back at this time in charge of us as impressive.
I know some stats have been banded about already, but here's one that catches my eye the most:
Dave Penney (27.08%)
Paul Dickov (30.50%)
Lee Johnson (34.95%)
Dean Holden (20.00%)
Darren Kelly (11.11%)
David Dunn (15.00%)
There's a list of managers we have had since Sheridan left in 2009. How did Sheridan fare himself?
40.40%. And that's over a longer period than any of the aforementioned managers. His overall record in management full stop is better than those records above.
I guess the point I am trying to get across is for us to try and forget the shambles of the past, more specifically 2015, and look at what we have now with Shez in charge and how we can look to the future. He knows Oldham Athletic, both as a player and a manager, and he knows what the fans want. He has said himself he has unfinished business, so what better time to show that than right now? A team he regards fondly, currently struggling and adrift of safety with a fanbase that has had all the positive energy sapped out of it because of bad decision after bad decision off the field, resulting in bad performances on it.
It's not a perfect world, and with the personalities and egos on here there's bound to be differing opinions on all things Oldham Athletic, but whether you're buzzing with excitement that Shez is back again or whether you're underwhelmed by it, can we not just try and put the last few months/years of garbage and disappointment to the backs of our minds and try and enjoy this journey we ALL hope Shez can take us on, together?
The way I see it?
If we go down, we have a manager who has shown he can win promotion to this league.
If we stay up, we have a manager who can reach the playoffs in this league.
But most of all we have a manager who genuinely has a passion for Oldham Athletic and that is something every person on here shares.
Johnson has gone.
Kelly has gone.
Dunn has now gone.
Forget all that.
Shez is here to complete part 2 - so lets ALL get behind him.
See you at Bradford.

Move it to a Monday night for TV and charge them £37 in
FC United makes sense, get 1,000 of their fans through the door to put a bit of change in the coffers.

Posted by miserable git on 22 January 2015 - 08:17 PM
I'll put my head above the parapet, to say that those folk slagging off Paul Whitehead need to give their heads a wobble; I've known the Whitehead family professionally for more years than I care to remember, to the extent that I now think of them has personal friends. Because he and his brother are Oldham Athletic fans through and through, their company is constructing the stand on terms that no other company would entertain. Yes there have apparently been problems (I know not what) but they won't be of the Whitehead's making. Paul and his brother, are continuing their association with the club that was started by their father - another gentleman who's word was his bond. I can well understand people's frustrations, but don't take it out on those doing their best to full fill your aspirations.

#839032 Meet the manager 07/03/16 at OEC
Posted by HarryBosch on 07 March 2016 - 09:45 PM
Shez very funny, as you'd expect.
Shirtliff impressive.
Wants us in a proper reserve league next season - eg, needs to call on Mills but he's short of the match practice he'd have if we had a proper reserve side.
Similar with kids - would love to throw some in but can't. Would be doing were we mid table. Tuohy and Byrnes received mentions.
Will never play just one up front.
Gerrard and Wilson "incident" v Gillingham (where Gerrard told Wilson to grow some balls) continued at half time. Shez let it. Both players shook hands after the game.
Praised Wilson for being one of his better players after having gone through a hard time before he came.
Would have us back in the Chaddy End if it were upto him.
Shirtliff would have home fans behind both goals like Bournemouth (it was pointed out to him there aren't enough of us)
Shez would rather have no loanees but they can be both good and bad. He learned last time never to loan experienced, "known" players and will never do so again.
Shirtliff said defenders were playing it about in and around their own box without the confidence to do so and thought they were "supposed to". Quickly cut that out of them. Both Shez and PS mentioned a few times we were playing on the edge of our own box which is playing with fire. Needed to be playing 10 to 20 yards further forward which has been drummed into them and they're starting to get.
Coleman is his number 1 and will make mistakes just like him and PS did when they were kids. He needs to learn from the mistakes but has done well otherwise.
Shirtliff was coaching out in Florida and his wife wasn't too happy when he told her he'd took a job at Oldham.
Shez scored his first career goal at BP for Leeds.
Ron Atkinson the best manager they both played under.
No problems with players fitness when they arrived and since. Impressed with how strong they still are at end of games.
Shez knows we only really love him because of the penalty he gave away in 1991.

Posted by Diego_Sideburns on 14 November 2015 - 07:31 PM
What a roller-coaster of emotions experienced this afternoon!
First we had a minute's silence before kick-off in solidarity with the people of France.
Then a fellow Latics supporter was taken seriously ill, to the extent of paramedics being involved and Latics fan Kenny administering CPR, with all supporters moved out of that section of the crowd and a sheet being used to screen him.
While this was going on, the chanting amongst Latics supporters became subdued understandably, only to be broken by a minute's applause for the late Marton Fulop. Football was put into perspective!
The goal conceded was another defensive howler, and as the performance of the players got worse, the dark atmosphere amongst Latics fans boiled over with a scuffle over a difference of opinion.
After what I'm told was four minutes of CPR, it worked – well done Kenny!
On the pitch Latics continued to perform like an under 12s' team and they left the field to boos at half-time.
The second half continued with nothing for the fans to get excited about, and when eventually Latics produced a shot, the fans celebrated it as if it was a goal. Then we had "let's pretend we've scored" and the black humour was successful in raising smiles out of the desperation experienced so far. In response to a question, Tommy Lee pointed to where he keeps his caravan, as Latics fans continued to make their own amusement.
Then the pitch was lit up with the arrival of Giorgio Rasulo. In no time he had produced a bit of magic and a shot, which Tommy Lee could only push to the side of the goal, where Poleon snapped it up for the equaliser. Suddenly the black cloud was lifted over our part of the ground and the fans raised the roof.
Then it happened, with Poleon ordered to leave the field to repair a boot malfunction, Latics got that long-awaited slice of luck. Philliskirk shot from distance at Tommy Lee only for Tommy to prove he is human after all, as he pushed the ball onto the post for it to rebound off him into the net.
The faithful traveling support's prayers were answered and the jubilation was complete with a rendition of 'Jingle Bells'.
It's rare for the depths of despair and the heights of exhilaration to be experienced so close together, but it can happen supporting Latics. It's happened before and today was one of those days again.
I hope the supporter makes a full recovery and is able to continue his support – we need all we can get.

The Bakken Oil Reserve is reported to be 10X the reserves of the Alaska North Slope. The Bakken is being developed now. That post supposedly by a Bill Phillips seems to have some inaccurate information in it. The post is now being examined by Snopes as to the validity of several of the facts presented. The Bakken can be developed without many of the enviornmental hazards associated with drilling off the coast of California. There presently is 64,000 acres under lease by oil companies to be developed. They could be doing this but why, when oil can be bought from other countries. When the price gets high enough, this will be the impetus for more exploration and drilling. Why all the noise now about drilling off the coast of California and Washington, when there is oil on land?
You obviously know nothing about the industry.FYI, Original Oil In Place (OOIP) is not the same as reserves. Reserves are the volume of economically recoverable oil that is a fraction of OOIP. The Ultimate Recovery Factor (URF)is the % of OOIP that tells you what the reserves are. Typical worldwide URF for conventional reservoirs is ~35%. For unconventional reservoirs like the Bakken, URF may be more like ~5% to 10%. And due to the low permeability of the Bakken, recovery rates are low. One saving grace is that the oil is low viscosity, light oil.Yes, money is being made in the Bakken. And yes, people and companies who stuck with the play are getting what they deserve for their foresight. But the Bakken production will have only a little impact on U.S. oil economic picture and need for oil.
That is not what my research tells me.
The Bakken was discovered 50 years ago. Next.
I am well aware of that. The discovery, even though it was 50 years ago did not make an impact because it was cheaper to do verticle drilling than horizontal drilling which the Bakken requires. The price of crude now makes it an important U.S. oil reserve. Indications are that a millionaire is being made every day in North Dakota.

Daffodil Days paints it yellow
Spring bloomed early in Dawson County this year as we painted our community yellow with daffodils. The overwhelming support from our residents, businesses and other groups showed to support the American Cancer Society's Daffodil Days® was incredible. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to everyone who participated in this important campaign to raise money to fight cancer and provide hope to all people facing the disease.
It is heartwarming to know that so many of our fellow residents are dedicated to the society's efforts to prevent cancer, save lives, and diminish suffering from the disease. We appreciate the volunteer drivers, onsite coordinators, and daffodil processors, as well as to everyone who supported this year's Daffodil Days by purchasing flowers for their homes and/or offices or donating flowers to area hospitals and health care facilities. I must add special appreciation to the corporate sponsors who support Daffodil Days each year.
This year, we raised $11,180 to support the American Cancer Society's research, education, advocacy and patient service programs.
Together, Dawson County is making a difference in the fight against cancer.

CNBC just did a documentary on ASTI and the power of research reports sites, and new technology being used to scan the markets via research reports. Savvy investors that follow research reports are often statistically ahead of the street by DAYS, this can often translate into millions in potential profits. They mentioned that flash market research (google them ), a site I can vouch and have personally profited over $190k net profits, is now using this technology.

To the Editor:
—In response to the statement of Dr. Pike (Correspondence, The Journal, Feb. 19, 1916, p. 591) I beg leave to confine myself to the two points that have been more objectively discussed.With reference to the action of the iodin compound of the thyroid in the animal organism, the belief is expressed that "a misstatement of fact" was made in our commentary. In effect we expressed the opinion that it is superficial reasoning to pass so readily from observed facts about the influence exerted on electrical permeability of cells by sodium iodid, which by dissociation yields iodin ions, to the conclusion that an organic iodin compound, which contains "masked" or undissociable iodin, has the same influence. If there is "a misstatement of fact" in this, it must be about the undissociable iodin. To be brief: There is nothing in Scudder's tables which indicates that the dissociation involves

Multiple sources are reporting that the Cleveland Browns will start Colt McCoy at quarterback this Sunday against the Steelers. While starting rookie quarterbacks early in their careers is often a precarious situation due to the mental and physical adjustments, the Browns are making the correct decision with McCoy.
While he may not achieve success early on, it is time to throw McCoy to the wolves and allow him to start developing into a starting NFL quarterback. Even if McCoy struggles out of the gate, would the Browns' faithful really rather have a struggling veteran than a struggling rookie? Probably not, and here are a few reasons why.

In Brief: Syria hands over last of declared chemical weapons
Syria hands over last of chemical weapons
NICOSIA, Cyprus -- Syria on Monday handed over to Western governments the last of the chemical weapons stockpile that it has acknowledged having, although doubts remain if all toxic weapons have truly been removed from the increasingly unstable region.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry hailed the Syrian handover of the stockpile as a significant step toward diminishing the threat of chemical warfare in the region, but warned that the use of chlorine gas remains a serious issue amid the three-year war in Syria that has claimed an estimated 160,000 lives.
Afghan official quits in bid to end crisis
KABUL, Afghanistan -- Afghanistan's chief electoral officer resigned Monday, fulfilling a demand of a presidential candidate alleging fraud and raising hopes an end is in sight to a political crisis that has threatened to undermine the country's first democratic transfer of authority.
Zia ul-Haq Amarkhail told reporters that he denies any involvement in fraud but he is stepping down "for the national interest."
One of the two candidates, Abdullah Abdullah, has said his campaign monitors had recorded ballot box stuffing and other irregularities.
Alstom CEO says GE deal will save jobs
PARIS -- Alstom's chief executive said the French heavy engineering firm's agreement to sell off most of its power generation business to U.S. rival General Electric Co. will save jobs and protect France's national interests.
The $17 billion deal was reached over the weekend. The government was worried that the GE takeover would cause layoffs and hand foreign owners too much influence over a major industrial player -- especially one like Alstom, which makes power plant equipment and pioneered TGV high-speed trains.
Alstom CEO Patrick Kron said Monday on Europe-1 radio that the deal with GE "is a combination of Alstom's qualities and GE's economic strength."
Kron will be left running the company's train, tram and railway signaling business. GE will take over Alstom's gas turbine business.

*[Extended Deadline to February 7, 2009] *
The *Graduate Program in* *Visual and Cultural Studies *and the *Global East
Asia: Media, Popular Culture, and the Pacific Century Humanities Project* at
the *University of Rochester* invite submissions for an interdisciplinary
graduate conference on Saturday, April 11, 2009. The keynote address will
be delivered by the curator and critic *Okwui Enwezor*. Professor Enwezor is
dean of academic affairs at the San Francisco Art Institute, adjunct curator
at the International Center of Photography in New York, and has served as
the artistic director of the Second Johannesburg Biennale in South Africa,
Documenta 11 in Kassel, Germany,the 2nd Biennial of Seville in Spain, and
most recently, the 2008 Gwangju Biennale in South Korea.
In East Asia, the year 2008 was marked by large-scale cultural spectacles:
from the Beijing Olympics to contemporary art biennales and triennials in
Taipei, Gwangju, Yokohama, Shanghai, Busan, Seoul, and Guangzhou. Each of
these events reflected the local, national, and global points of production,
dissemination, and reception that characterize spectacle in East Asia in the
21st century. The various degrees to which nation-states have been involved
in orchestrating these events and the multifacetedness of public responses
to and experiences of these spectacles call for a critical examination of
the formation of publics and counterpublics encouraged, if not produced by,
these events. This discussion, we contend, begins from looking beyond the
long-held binary between oppressive state power and oppositional political
resistance that has come to obscure the complexity of the various and
competing trans-national cultural and political agendas advanced in the East
Asian public sphere.
This conference aims to expand the traditional understanding of the public
as constituted by print culture (articulated by Jürgen Habermas and Benedict
Anderson, among others), by emphasizing "the poetic functions of both
language *and* corporeal expressivity" in shaping publics (Michael
Warner, *Publics
and Counterpublics*). The focus on spaces of performativity—including but
certainly not limited to print culture—as the site from which publics and
counterpublics arise requires reflection on multiple forms of spectacle,
such as public demonstrations, cyber space, film, video, performance, and
other cultural practices.
Papers may include a theoretical model for how public and counterpublic
discourses may emerge in the 21st century and/or analyses on visual and
cultural production that speak to the notion of spectacle and/or publicity
in the sociopolitical, economic, or cultural contexts of East Asia. The
conference is open but not limited to original scholarship in the following
· International art biennials, film festivals, and sporting events
as spectacles
· Politics of the spectacle in its local, national, and global
· Public demonstrations as spectacle or counter-spectacle (the May
18 Gwangju Uprising in South Korea in 1980, the June Fourth Movement in
China in 1989, the candlelight vigil demonstrations against U.S. beef import
in South Korea in 2008, the protests against the Beijing Olympic torch
relay, etc.)
· Integration of art and activism
· Application of Internet, virtual communities, and new
communication technologies (cell phone camera, web blogs, youtube, social
network service, etc.) in forming public/counterpublic spheres
· Issues of techno-nationalism and netizenry
· East Asian subcultures (Otaku, QQ groups, migrant labor
literature, outdoor exercise gathering, underground church, underground
music, Internet Café and online game cultures, etc.)
· New social classes formed by forces of globalization ("Freeters
