Founded in 1984, NCI Building Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, and markets a wide-ranging line of metal buildings and components for the non-residential construction industry. The Company is one of North America's largest integrated manufacturers of metal products for this industry. NCI Building Systems has its corporate headquarters in Houston, Texas.

NCI has a network of around 3,200 affiliated builders. It also has relationships with approximately 5,500 architects. The Company serves a broad array of industry segments. With this diversification, NCI Building Systems has no single customer accounting for greater than 2% of sales. This is a nice hedge against one customer controlling its revenue streams.
NCI said that it is seeing growth in insulated metal panels. It said that it believes this growth will maintain at a pace of multiples over the industry growth.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Norman Chambers, said in a presentation at the D.A. Davidson Engineering & Construction Conference Broker Conference Call, "On the growth side we have insulated metal panels that are clearly growing and have an opportunity to grow because of a low penetration rate the energy efficiencies and the fact that we have such a short distribution network that we can accelerate that growth by pushing it through our existing distribution system. That's going to be a good thing for a number of years to come." (Seeking Alpha – NCI Building Systems' (NCS) Presents at D.A. Davidson Engineering & Construction Conference Broker Conference Call (Transcript))

What to Keep in Mind When Choosing Plants
You will find a wide variety of offerings at spring plant sales. As you look at all the beautiful plants that tempt you with their color and uniqueness, think about where they will fit in your garden.
Consider the final size of the plant to make sure you won't be overcrowding your garden, which can lead to unnecessary maintenance plus pest and disease problems. Also, consider light and water needs. The right plant in the right place will make for a successful, low-maintenance landscape.
While you're at it, choose some wildlife-attracting plants. Every garden can benefit from pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
If you have any questions about a plant, don't be afraid to ask. Many of these events will have Master Gardeners and other plant experts on hand to answer questions and help you choose plants that will work best for your space.
I'm always happy to discuss native plants and landscaping, so leave me a comment below or visit my Facebook page to ask your questions or let me know which spring events you are most excited about.

Michael Pineda will be an interesting piece when trade talks heat up around the league during the middle of the summer.
He's had trouble being consistent and has dealt with injuries [missed all of 2012 and 2013]. The combination of those two have sort of re-built his ceiling from a possible first or second starter into a high-end third.
The Yankees probably thought they would get more out of Pineda when they got him for then-heralded catching prospect Jesus Montero. However, when you consider that Montero ended up being a bust and what the Yanks have gotten out of Pineda, they actually made out pretty well on the deal.
While Pineda has been inconsistent, the one thing he has done consistently is strike guys out. Last year he ended with 207 strikeouts, good for sixth in the American League. This could be very attractive to a team that needs pitching help by the time July rolls around.
A team like the Pirates, for example, who have a knack for taking in guys that have shown flashes of dominance and turning them into consistent rotation contributors, might be interested in a guy like Pineda, who will be a free agent after this season.
Big Mike is on a relatively team-friendly deal, making $7.4 million this season, plus, a team trading for him mid-season would only have to pay a fraction of that. Even a team like the Cubs, who still have plenty of quality prospects to give in return, would benefit from the services of Pineda at the back-end of their rotation.
The only reason that might keep the Yankees from trading Michael Pineda would be if they are contending around the All-Star break, which is possible. However, even if they are, it would be silly to hang onto him.
It's likely the Yanks let him walk in free agency next winter anyway, and even if they have a shot at a Wild Card spot, it would be smarter of them to make this move for their future rather than playing to win in 2017.
They're not a team built to last with the top dogs in the league right now. It makes more sense to bolster their farm system with a Michael Pineda trade than to reach the playoffs only to get bounced in the Wild Card game or the ALDS.
Depending on how his first half goes, they could get a nice return on the big right-hander, which would make their already strong farm system even better.

Bread is a concept that is unique to humanity. I learned more about bread in a spiritual context in a television program by Rabbi Daniel Lapin called Ancient Jewish Wisdom on the TCT channel. Think about it – animals do not grow grain, harvest and mill the grain, grow yeast cultures, press plants for oil, and prepare dough into loaves of bread.
Rabbi Lapin pointed out that bread is first mentioned in the Bible in the same sentence as the so-called 'curse' of humanity in Genesis 3:19: "In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread , till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou [art], and unto dust shalt thou return." He also points out that making bread represent two important qualities in humanity, namely cooperation and delayed gratification. Making bread often requires trade and division of labor. All the processes involved in preparing the ingredients all represent long periods of time as well.
Rabbi Lapin and his wife Susan observed that bread is always presented at every formal meal. For example a loaf of bread or rolls often come to the table before anything else at a formal restaurant. A formal kind of meal would not be complete without it.
It is interesting to think about bread as we enter the season of passover, with the important symbols of unleavened bread and wine. Unleaved bread represents Jesus' holy flesh and wine represents his pure blood that were both given in sacrifice for us.

Laser Cutting
Laser cutting is a modern technology employing a high intensity laser to cut sheet materials. The laser is computer controlled, ensuring that the cut is extremely accurate and repeatable. The area being cut vaporizes away, leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish. Laser cutting yields a product that is extremely accurate and precise. We use the best equipment to ensure that your job meets the most exacting standards. Laser cutting can be used for extremely complex and simple shapes alike.
Precision Fabrication
We employ skilled tradesmen, who receive excellent training and have access to state-of-the-art equipment to fabricate products that meet your requirements and specification. We can employ any combination of the technique described on this page, including laser cutting, CNC folding, welding, machining and more, to produce the product you need.
MIG and TIG Welding
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding both use an inert gas to shield the welding process from oxidation and other contamination. MIG uses a continuously feeding wire which serves as electrode and filler/weld material. TIG uses a tungsten electrode, with a separate filler/weld rod. Both methods yield strong, clean and precise welds. Generally MIG is the preferred method for welding thin sheet, and some machined products. TIG is widely used in the aerospace industry, and is often used for joining tubing, welding tools and where a corrosion resistant weld is required.
CNC Folding
CNC (Computer Numerically Controlled) folding uses a high tech folding machine, linked to a computer controller. The machine receives precise instructions from the computer to position and fold sheet material to exact specifications. The technology ensures that folds are placed in exactly the right position, and that the angle of the fold is exactly as specified. CNC folding may be used for a large range of application where sheet materials need to be folded in complex or simple shapes.
Design and Development
Our staff have a wealth of experience and training in fabricating a huge range of different jobs. Coupled with intimate knowledge of our state-of-the-art equipment, this means that we are extremely well placed to assist you in designing the solution for your problem or application. We can help select materials, design, construction processes and then assist with future development. From the simplest to the most complicated application, we can design and develop the solution.
Powder Coating
Powder coating is a surface coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. The coating is applied electrostatically and is then cured under heat to allow it to flow and form a "skin". The polymer coating is used to create a hard finish that is significantly tougher than conventional paint. Powder coating is normally used to coat metals, but may be suitable for other applications depending on the material.

I love when Christ reveals Himself through everyday stories. So, here's one for you…
— — —
I have pink-eye. More accurately, I have bacterial conjunctivitis.
It's awesome.
So awesome, I tell you, that I woke up EARLY in the morning and said in a semi-panicky voice, "I can't open my eyes!!!" My husband said, "It's okay. We'll take care of it later. But right now, you don't need to open your eyes. Just sleep." I said, "BUT, it hurts!" And he said, "It won't hurt if you just sleep." I said, "okaaay…" and rolled over. He reached over and rubbed my back for a moment and soon, we both dozed back to sleep.
When the alarm to get up went off, still pretty early in the morning, he went and got me a wet cloth so that I could clean my eyes, open them, and see.
— — —
I've been thinking about this early morning incident all day and I see such a picture of Christ in Jon's response to my panic…
When I wake up in the middle of the night, I like to be able to look at a clock so I can know how much longer I have to sleep. I don't know why I find that so important. It doesn't actually matter. It's time to sleep, not time to worry about or dwell on how much longer I have to sleep.
I've been reminded today of the many times I am like this with the Lord about life, plans, or spiritual understanding. I've definitely asked the Lord in a panicky way "How much longer until ___________?" once or twice (or a lot more than that) before because I was wanting to see something I could not see.
I think we probably all spend time wondering the answers to questions like: How much longer will I struggle with this issue? How much longer will I feel this disappointment or shame? How much longer will things keep going well? How much longer will it take for me to learn that you've got this? How much longer am I going to be single? How much longer until I'll have children? How much longer until I'll be able to have a job that I really love? How much longer will the Lord have me stay where I am? How much longer until I can retire? How much longer? How much longer?!?!?!
In those moments of wondering "How much longer?" the Lord is often gently telling us, "It's not time. You don't need to see. Just rest." (Like Jon did for me this morning.) And our response is often something like my,"BUT it hurts," But, as Jon told me… "It won't hurt if you just sleep." He was right. It only hurt because I was trying to open my eyes and see. When I chose to rest, I was fine. And when it was time to get up, Jon brought me what I needed to help me see.
When we REST in the Lord, there is no need to dwell on the "How much longer" questions. When it is time to see, the Lord will provide what we need to open our eyes.

The Three Word Shortcut to Great Influencer RelationsEstimated Reading Time: 2 minutes
There isn't one.
Recently I've been getting a lot of pitches from companies wanting to "leverage" my "influence." That's not surprising, since "influencer marketing" is the buzzword du jour.
So it's also not surprising that for every company or marketer who's trying to do this thoughtfully, there are tens, if not hundreds, of others, trying to make a quick buck by creating an influencer marketplace.
The thing is, you can create any kind of marketplace. You can line up any number of vendors to attract buyers, and you can promise tons of buyers to your vendors, to attract them to your particular marketplace.
Heck, you even give the vendors a cut to come to your marketplace, rather than someone else's.
Maybe a good percentage of vendors and buyers show up. And maybe some of them even buy stuff. And maybe some vendors make a little bit of money (most probably won't).

You've always dreamed of owning a home with hardwood floors, but after 10 years, they're just not the same. From dogs and kids at play to forgetting to take your shoes off, scratches and other imperfections on your hardwood floors are inevitable. At Azores Hardwood Flooring Inc., we carry environmentally friendly and quality floor cleaning products that will keep your floors shining long after we've left.
Mirage Clean cleaner is specially formulated for maintaining and cleaning your polyurethane and water based hardwood flooring. Mirage Clean is biodegradable, environmentally friendly, and quick and easy to use.
Mirage Clean Concentrated cleaner is a great way to clean your hardwood flooring. It makes 5 Litres (1.32 Gallons) of total Mirage floor cleaning product.
Hassle-free cleaning: Mirage ergonomic mop features a long, narrow head for those hard-to-reach corners. Made of a unique blend of advanced microfiber, the Mirage Easy-glide mop cover attracts dust and is ultra-absorbent, with powerful dirt attraction, absorption and retention.
The Mirage Touch kit is specially designed to touch-up your prefinished wood flooring. It allows you to repair everyday accidents and restore your home floors back to their shiny new appearance.
The solution to protecting floors while moving your furniture is the "Slipstick Foot" – a unique foot that is easily attached to the legs or base of most furniture pieces. It is comprised of a hard plastic disc with an inset o-ring that prevents furniture moving on any flat surface. However, when on a 20-degree angle, the o-ring loses contact with the floor and allows the piece to slide easily into any desired position. Simultaneously, protection is provided as the furniture is prevented from scratching the floor surface below.
Applied to the legs of furniture, they protect floor surfaces. Installed under office equipment, they protect desk and counter tops from scratching. Applied to pottery, lamps and picture frames, they allow movement back and forth without scratching. They can be cut with scissors to fit any size leg or pedestal. Heavy duty Olefin fibre construction makes EZ GLIDES water resistant for extra durability.
Glide N' Guard is the interlocking track system that makes it easy to move appliances and protect your floor. The Glide N' Guard patented system allows for the appliance to be moved across the tracks – never the floor!
Durability with aesthetic appeal – that is what DuraSeal® products have come to signify in the wood flooring business. Our product line includes stains with a high solid content for deep colour and exceptional sealing action, and transparent finishes that withstand brutal wear and punishment.
As a finishing professional, look no further for fine water-based, eco-friendly furniture paints, chalk-style paint and wood stains, cabinet finishes and superior green wood finishing products. Check out our award winning water-based topcoats, water-based wood stains, glazes and professional waterborne coatings.

There has been remarkable improvement in the survival of childhood cancer in developed countries. One of the major reasons is application of multi modality treatment. Radiation is an important aspect of treatment of solid tumor in children. Most children are now treated on an international protocol with specific radiation guideline.

Priced at 275,000 Euros, comes with 24 carat gold.
Russian stylist TopCar has revealed its upgrade program for the Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S dubbed the Stinger GTR. Using a total of 24 carbon-fiber composite body panels, the tuner says 90 percent of the car's exterior has been changed. It took nine months to make and interested parties will have to part with 46,580 Euros for the pleasure of applying it to their rides. In addition, the tuner will boost output by 60 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque, and offers a selection of ADV.1 alloys.
Pictured is a model finished in black leather with lacquered carbon-fiber panels and 24-carat gold trim. TopCar wants 275,000 Euros for its creation it has modestly described as "craftsmen artwork."

Twelve years ago, the Bishop Planetarium's future was dark. Today, the outlook for Bradenton's windowless window to the universe is bright.
The recent acquisition of some of the nation's most technically advanced equipment has upgraded the planetarium's capabilities and reinforced the South Florida Museum's commitment to providing a high-quality experience for visitors and star gazers.
It wasn't so long ago that the potential for such progress was in doubt.
An early morning fire in August 2001 ruined the planetarium's lasers, lights, audio gear and computers. Heavy smoke trapped under and inside the thick dome caused enormous damage.
The former board of directors -- citing declines in attendance and losses from the fire -- considered permanently closing the planetarium, which opened in 1966 and had been renovated in 1989.
Members of the community, many of whom had fond memories of attending the planetarium on school field trips, rebelled. The structure and membership of the board were challenged -- and eventually changed.
The board of the South Florida Museum, where the planetarium is housed, proceeded with plans to dramatically refurbish and upgrade the entire facility -- including the planetarium.
Renovation of the museum's first floor was completed in 2002 and the second floor re-do was finished in 2006. In between, a vastly improved planetarium was reopened to the public in 2005 -- which led to a 35 percent increase in admissions to the entire complex the following year.
Now, just 12 years after the near demise of the domed home to star shows and programs about the universe, the planetarium is aiming even higher.
As Billy Cox recently reported in the Herald-Tribune, the Bishop Planetarium has acquired a Digistar 5 dual-screen projection system that came on the market just this year. The system includes computer processors that project images in 3-D across the entire dome. The operators will have access to hundreds of continuously updated satellite dispatches and high-quality digital maps of outer space and Earth.
The staff will also be able to adapt the software programs to meet the knowledge level of audiences -- a feature that could make the programming more accessible to a wide range of visitors, from elementary school students to experts.
Retooling the planetarium complements a long-term series of upgrades at the South Florida Museum. The landmark institution has not only provided entertainment and enlightenment; it has stabilized and stimulated downtown Bradenton, which is in the midst of a renaissance.
Snooty the manatee, who lives comfortably in a 60,000-gallon tank, has long been the star attraction at the museum. But, with the arrival of Digistar 5, the 65-year-old official mascot of Manatee County might have to step up his game.
The Bishop Planetarium will host a free open house Nov. 7 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. For more information about admission to the planetarium and museum, call 746-4131 or go to www.southfloridamuseum.org.
Bishop Planetarium's star rising
Twelve years ago, the Bishop Planetarium's future was dark. Today, the outlook for Bradenton's windowless window to the universe is bright.

The shock departure of Exchange FS's dream team from its board last week marks another dramatic turn in the fate of what was once an IFA-only quotation service.
The four board members who took the company to a £400m float, chairman Paul Lindsey, finance director David Chislett, sales director Nick Prestwich and managing director of product marketing Nigel Phillips, have all stepped aside, having watched the company plummet to a £60m market capitalisation and a share price low of just 12p last December.
The board has faced mounting criticism after two years of about-turns in business direction.
Lindsey and Philips were the driving force behind The Exchange, securing the backing of 20 life offices in 1991 to set up a quotation service for IFAs.
With life office ownership, it had a monopoly position but it really stamped its presence on the industry in 1994 when regulatory changes to the way life offices made quotations meant a new system had to be implemented fast.
The Exchange got its common trading platform up and running to accommodate the changes.
Financial Technology Centre director Ian McKenna says: "This was really the making of The Exchange. Life offices needed to find a way of getting millions of quotes out to IFAs to meet the changes. It saved the industry's bacon."
In 1998, Lindsey, Phillips, Prestwich and Chislett staged a £10m management buyout and, in 1999, at the height of the dotcom bonanza, the company floated on the Stock Exchange at £2 a share, making the company worth £400m and the dream team millionaires.
McKenna says: "If it had continued as industry owned, the business would have fallen apart. Until the management buyout, there were 20 insurance companies pulling in different directions."
Its deal to provide financial information to Yahoo saw The Exchange's price soar to a high of 385p, giving it a market cap of nearly £800m.
A number of acquisitions followed, including Swedish online fund supermarket Fondex in a deal worth £22.1m in Exchange shares. But Fondex was the latest casualty and was sold off last week to Swedish financial services internet firm Teletrade for just £150,000.
Renaming itself Money-extra in February 2000 after the launch of its consumer site showed loyalties had shifted firmly towards the consumer.
But in the dotcom fallout, its share price started to slump in the second half of last year and speculation was rife about the future of the business. Moneyextra.com proved to be a financial drain on the company as revenue did not meet expectations. The expensive affair with the consumer was finally ended last year and it turned back to the business-to-business arena, with a complete about-face in renaming itself Exchange FS.
Moneyextra.com was sold last November to Bristol & West for £26m. But the investment in direct consumer business lost Exchange FS support in the industry, which felt betrayed by the consumer emphasis.
Permanent Insurance sales and marketing director Rod Macdonald says: "The Exchange has really failed over the past two or three years to respond to the changing dynamics in the industry. They have changed their strategy every few months and failed to look after their customers."
In a major coup aimed at winning support from the IFA community, former Misys and Countrywide chairman Jim Gaskin came on board to take the business forward in the intermediary market.
But the industry has moved on and now Exchange FS is not the only IFA portal. Misys-owned M-Link and DBS-owned Assureweb are free for IFAs to use while Exchange FS still has a monthly charge.
Macdonald says: "The Exchange has had a complacent monopoly and is now having to work hard to restore customer confidence. Other portals are not charging for quotations. I do not know how The Exchange expects IFAs to continue paying for them."
But Exchange FS is providing 60 million quotations a year and has 15,000 RIs using its service. New services are being added, most recently a Tep trading service and investment bond comparative quotation service.
McKenna says: "The Exchange is responsible for a quiet revolution in the industry. There are three or four alternative platforms but Exchange FS has far more users who are actually paying for the service. The industry would look very different if it had not come about. It is impossible to understate the contribution it has made to IFAs and providers."
Exchange FS bought financial services software com–pany Crisp Computing for £29m last November. The firm has extensive experience in point-of-sale and back-office systems for life offices. Using this expertise, Exchange FS is planning to position itself as a provider both to intermediaries and life offices.
Corporate development director Gaskin says: "We are working to power other people's distribution. We spent a lot of time trying to build a consumer brand but that has gone now. We are now totally focused on business to business. We can provide solutions to small IFAs, large IFAs, networks and providers. We are very customer-focused and very confident about what we can provide going forward."
McKenna says: "The challenge now is to maintain its market position and bring out more tools for IFAs to not only help them run their own business but also deliver services to their customers. Its core business has gone from strength to strength. It does need to do some work to maintain its position but its share price does not reflect the value of the business."

Camping With Lock & Lock
My mom is a Lock & Lock junkie. If you think I'm bad, just scroll down a bit! When we visited them while they were camping, I took some pictures of the seriousness of her L&L habit. :)
This is the fridge in the camper. She can fit a whole lot in that thing!!
Sticks of butter
In the bathroom closet
This is the pantry. She really especially loves the bread box because it keeps the bread fresh for much longer than just keeping it in the usual bag.
Notice the labels? I wonder where I get it from...
The cleaning closet.
She even puts the chips in one because they don't go stale!
Have you ever seen such organized sugar packets?? Yeah, me neither. This reminds me a little of Sean Penn in that movie...what was it called? The one where he's obsessed with the Beatles and names his daughter Lucy.
A whole lot of fruit fits in a seemingly small container!
The freezer. She likes the small water bottles because they fit well in here. She fills them halfway, freezes them, and then fills them with water so that they will have ice water all day. They're a good size for kids too. Caleb loves his!
You can fit two whole sticks of butter in one of these small containers! Not bad!
So there you have it...confessions of a Lock & Lock junkie! :) If you know my mom, you know that she's all in when she loves a product...and you also know that she doesn't "love" something if it isn't really awesome! I'm telling you: if you haven't tried them out yet, you really need to. They have fabulous deals ("Like" them on Facebook to get the daily Happy Hour deals--those are the best!!) and the product is top notch!

You need to explain that the box that says hot drinks is not dirty...it has black marks from being burned in our old camper. It was stored on top of the wheel cover and because of a flaw in the cover the tire was hitting it and made the cover melt! My lock and lock was actually burned by the friction! It still works fine so I kept it.

Oct. 12, 2016 - Depression is a mental illness that affects how a person feels, thinks and handles daily activities. Antidepressants are prescribed to alleviate the symptoms of depression and help the brain process and use certain chemicals that regulate mood or stress. Unfortunately, existing medications usually require two to four weeks of use before patients respond. In a recent Paper of the Week in the Journal of Biological Chemistry, Mark M. Rasenick and his team at the University of Illinois at Chicago describe why antidepressants have a delayed impact.
One consistent finding in brain and some peripheral cells of patients who suffer depression is depletion of cyclic adenosine monophosphate, or cAMP. cAMP is a second messenger. Regular antidepressant treatment activates signaling pathways to cause an increase in accumulation of cAMP and transcription of cAMP-regulated genes, which include genes for neurotransmitters and growth factors, to alleviate the symptoms of depression. Antidepressants work to increase the brain's concentrations of various neurotransmitters, such as norepinephrine, dopamine, noradrenaline, adrenaline and serotonin. Researchers suggest that the antidepressants' effects may be mediated through induction of the system that generates cAMP. But they need to understand why there is a delay in clinical efficacy of antidepressant action.
Rasenick and his team used glioma cells that lacked the monoamine transport proteins, including serotonin reuptake transport proteins, which are one of the binding sites for many antidepressants. They demonstrated that in the absence of SERT, antidepressants accumulate gradually in the plasma membrane microdomains of glioma cells. Next, Rasenick and colleagues showed that a sustained treatment with an antidepressant drug called escitalopram, better known by brand names of Lexapro and Cipralex, translocated the G-protein Gαs from lipid rafts. Lipid rafts are specialized regions of the plasma membrane that have been shown to inhibit the cAMP-generating cascade. Gαs went from lipid rafts to nonraft regions of the plasma membrane in the glioma cells, which enhanced its signaling ability.

Young's hopes for United title delusional
MAN UNITED v HULL CITY
(Tonight, 11pm, SingTel mio TV Ch 102 & StarHub TV Ch 227)
In such moments, Premier League footballers must call upon the cliches.
Nothing too specific, just a generic comment about taking the season one game at a time and not looking past Hull City tonight.
That's all Ashley Young had to say.
But, as he so often does on the field, the Manchester United winger got ahead of himself. Yesterday, his unfortunate remarks ignored sobering reality in favour of blind faith.
"The manager has said we want to break that top four," Young said, standing on solid ground.
"But you know players and staff at the club, we want to win the league title," he added, before the ground gave way and swallowed him whole.
Unless he's hankering for a second career in stand-up comedy, Young is guilty of misplaced optimism. Or he's a tad delusional.
United aren't winning the title this season. They're not even getting close.
If the Premier League table never lies, then it's proving to be a master of deception right now. The Red Devils are fourth by default. They are the fourth least inconsistent side in an ongoing elitist battle of inconsistency.
With the exception of Chelsea, this season represents a transitional one for most of the leading contenders, the kind of season that is occasionally essential, but quickly forgotten.
The Premier League's cyclical process makes for entertaining peaks and troughs. Unfortunately, Chelsea's paper challengers are sniffing around the trough, waiting for either a transfer window buffet or for Jose Mourinho to clear off so they can gorge on their own success again.
United are fourth because they are the least bad of their other rivals, an unpalatable fact clearly underlined when their most patched-up first 11 in recent memory defeated the most gutless Arsenal first 11 in recent memory.
Porous defences do not prevail. Despite their improvements, Tyler Blackett, Chris Smalling and Patrick McNair are not the stuff that open-top bus parade dreams are made of.
Luke Shaw's ankle injury ensures Louis van Gaal is deprived of another player integral to his tactical plans. His loss - along with Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo, Phil Jones and Rafael da Silva - has butchered the back line.
If dodgy defences do not win trophies, decimated defences are lucky to qualify for the top four. As Liverpool and Arsenal amply demonstrate, it's hard to take a club's title credentials seriously when there are cardboard cutouts playing in front of the goalkeeper.
United have lost only one of their last seven games, but statistics can be shaped to fit any reasonable hypothesis. This season also represents the club's poorest start since 1986 and the victory at Arsenal was the first away from home.
Van Gaal's men have conceded as many goals as Stoke and, more interestingly, the most expensive attacking line-up in the club's history have scored a goal less than West Ham.
Of course, the Hammers are not governed from the sidelines by one of the most decorated managers in the modern game.
Young mentioned van Gaal's aura, and then his presence, and then his belief, all in the same comment. It's a wonder he didn't wear a sign, saying: "Please pick me against Hull, boss."
The 29-year-old is not necessarily wrong. Van Gaal's personal magnetism makes him a formidable presence. His dictatorial stance at the Emirates Stadium contrasted noticeably with Arsene Wenger's.
Compared to van Gaal, the Arsenal manager displayed all the aggressive intent of a teddy bear's picnic.
The Dutchman's tenacity is a wonderful asset, but he doesn't boast enough on the pitch. Mourinho already has the monopoly on game-changing assets.
After just 12 games, United are 13 points behind Chelsea and the Blues' biggest obstacles have already been successfully navigated. They went to Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton and returned undefeated.
Young mentions a tilt at the title and hears stifled giggles. Bookmakers slash the odds on Chelsea finishing the season unbeaten and no one laughs.
A record points tally and a record margin of victory are already potential targets for the Blues. Everyone else is playing for second place. This title race can no longer be won, but only thrown away by those remorseless, relentless winning machines. And Mourinho's sides just do not implode.
At every club, from Porto to Real Madrid, the Portuguese perfectionist finished his second season at the summit. Mourinho is a creature of habit. He will win again.
United may make a pretty bridesmaid in the spring, but this wedding march is only playing the Blues.
6 The Red Devils have won all six previous EPL meetings with Hull City.
'Van Persie not certain to start'
Robin van Persie. PHOTO: REUTERS
Louis van Gaal has warned striker Robin van Persie he will have to fight for his place, as the Manchester United manager prepares to welcome Radamel Falcao back to his squad.
Van Gaal is hoping the injury-hit Colombian can finally display the qualities that have made him one of the most feared strikers in world football, especially important for United with van Persie struggling for form.
Falcao's loan spell at Old Trafford has been disrupted by injuries, but van Gaal is hopeful he will be in the squad for the visit of Hull City today.
Asked if Falcao's return would increase the pressure on van Persie, who was substituted against his former club Arsenal last weekend, having had just 13 touches of the ball, van Gaal said: "Every player in my selection has to fight for his position and I shall always take the best of the players and it must also be suitable for the mix of players. So it is also an obligation of a player that he does that."
Asked if he felt confident that Falcao can start to live up to his potential, the United boss added: "I hope so because we have him on loan because of that."
It is not just Falcao poised to provide a huge boost for United, but Argentina defender Marcos Rojo is also in contention after being out with a shoulder injury.
Van Gaal said: "We have to wait and see until the last training session of course. It's always difficult to say, but we have good news, yes. You have to read between the lines."
The Dutchman said he was happy that United were in the top four, despite their injury problems and having played some heavyweight opposition in recent games.
"When you see how our preparation was, how many injuries, then it was a very big test and, after the heavy opponents, we are still fourth, so I'm happy," said van Gaal.
"But we have to be at least fourth at the end of the league and not now. Now is not so important. We have to improve our playing style and beat our opponents more easily."
Van Gaal was also careful to provide an exact statement on England fullback Luke Shaw, who suffered an ankle injury against the Gunners.
A week ago, the United manager's comments on Daley Blind's knee problem were misinterpreted and led to the club's 3.5 million Twitter followers being erroneously advised the Dutch player was out for six months.
Van Gaal said: "Last time, I said something and it was not interpreted so good, so I have asked my medical adviser and maybe the Manchester United Twitter account can pay attention to it."
The United manager then read from a prepared statement, saying: "Luke sustained an ankle ligament injury but with no serious complications and he will be out for the next few weeks because of this."
Van Gaal also added that "with Daley Blind, it will not be six months".

Varun Dhawan is certainly the heartthrob of today's generation. From his debut in 2012's 'Student of the Year' till 2017's Badrinath Ki Dulhania, the guy has constantly entertained us with his performance, dance and humor. It's a well known fact that Varun has not given a single flop at box office yet. All his 8 movies are Hits. This is an amazing achievement.
Varun Dhawan's movies have collected ranging from 53 crore to as much as 150+ crore. So, he has a very strong hold at box office. Varun also has a massive fan base in youth. His last film Badrinath Ki Daulhania is one of the most profitable movies of 2017.
So far, Varun has 3 100 crore club movies on his name: ABCD 2 (105.74 crore), Dilwale (148.72 crore) and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (116.68 crore). His next film Judwaa 2 is all set to rule the box office from 29th September, 2017. So, the question is: Can Judwaa 2 become Varun Dhawan's 4th 100 Crore Club Movie?
Judwaa 2 is one of the most anticipated films of this year. A remake of Salman Khan starrer movie which has already taken the movie community by their hearts. The trailer of Judwaa 2 got mixed response. Its songs are also getting decent feedback which needed to be huge.
However, audience loves Varun Dhawan and his movies have always entertained the crowd, kids and families so even Judwaa 2 is on that front. The cast of Varun, Taapsee Pannu and Jacqueline Fernandez and the direction of David Dhawan mean only one thing, a big entertainer is on its way on 29th September.
The concern that is going on in audience is that Judwaa 2 is looking like a complete copy of its original movie rather than a modern treatment to the story. But, we can know for sure only when the movie gets released. If everything works out fine, Judwaa 2 can become Varun Dhawan's 4th 100 crore club movie.
The movie is releasing in Dussehra weekend so Judwaa 2 has a very good release date slot, helping it boost its footfalls and earnings. Let's see how Judwaa 2 fares at box office and Varun Dhawan's career.

Chromebooks, Netbooks, Redcats and Mimeos in the classroom.
At Cottonwood Elementary School, these devices have replaced the Casios, CDs, clip art and Encarta of their parents' schooldays.
Thanks to a voter-approved $15 million capital bond request last November, kids in Cottonwood elementary and middle schools are reaping the benefits of high-speed internet, individual test stations and instant access to educational resources worldwide.
Mingus Union High School students weren't so lucky. Mingus' spending override request failed to pass. Mingus is again turning to voters this November to approve a $5.99 million dollar bond request.
The effect of technology in elementary classrooms
"The best thing with technology in schools is that it opens the students' world, even in somewhat isolated rural communities," said Steven King, assistant superintendent of the Cottonwood-Oak Creek School District.
This year, all schools in his district have high-speed internet, individual test stations and instant access to educational resources worldwide.
The effect of technology on teaching has been amazing," said Jason Douvikas, principal of Cottonwood Elementary School.
"There is a huge difference from grades three to five. Now we can do Dibbles (online resources for teaching relationship skills)," Douvikas said. "We can do diagnostic reading assessments for the whole school so we aren't missing any of the student's needs."
Chromebooks are a portable laptop computer that are networked together for ease of access to shared resources.
"We have mobile Chromebook carts with charging stations that are shared between teachers. They can accommodate a whole class," said Douvikas.
As a low-cost, low-weight notebook-style computer, Netbooks offer a compact size suitable for students of elementary school age.
"They are designed for students to take quizzes on ACE reading tests," Douvikas said.
Also available is an online language class called Mango.
"It offers six different languages -- English, Spanish, Italian, Mandarin, Russian and French," said Douvikas.
According to the manufacturer, Redcat audio systems use "exciter" technology to enhance voice intelligibility and distribute sound evenly throughout a classroom.
"Red cats are a speaker setup specifically designed for teachers," said Douvikas. "They are like a microphone. It amplifies and clarifies voices anywhere in the room."
Like the blackboard of old, Mimeos are used to display a lesson class-wide.
"Teachers can project lessons onto a whiteboard," Douvikas said.
Computer lab
New this year at Cottonwood Elementary School is a dedicated computer lab filled with desktop computers.
According to Kathy Epperson, technology director, the computers were purchased from Yavapai County for $1 each when the county upgraded their equipment.
The networked desktop computers enable a roomful of students to access the same computer program at once. This is particularly useful during group testing and online lessons.
Equal access to resources
In an area as diverse as Cottonwood, school officials agree that technology helps to create a more level playing field in public education, as well as to expand a student's knowledge of the opportunities in life.
"It comes-up to an equity thing. It gives every kid an option to explore what's out there," King said.

You're good enough: why encouragement is good for business.
If you have seen my typographic put down project you will probably have had a good laugh at my expense, reading the critisisms I have received since pursuing a creative career. The logical thing, of course, would be to follow up with a post on 'how to deal with criticism in the creative industry.' But then, you could probably Google that. You can't, as yet, Google my story about why encouragement has saved my bacon and why the creative industry needs more of it. Lucky you, I'm going to tell it.
See, there are plenty of blog posts about how to fulfil your dreams: how to achieve your ambitions or become a millionaire, but the people who read these things are already on the ladder of self belief; they're already on Linked-In, connecting with like-minded, self-confident people (or just sharing ridiculous motivational quotes). They already have a plan: they just need a little more motivation in their already stuffed pockets. But there are those who daren't even click on the link - those that probably don't even have a Linked-In password. There are those who don't even allow themselves to think bigger in case they're met with huge disappointment. There are plenty of resources for those that already believe in themselves, but very few for those that have received very little encouragement in their lives. They've always been told: "you're not good enough."
As a kid I was encouraged because I was good at drawing. Encouraged, that is, until I actually had serious intentions of pursuing it as a career or if I mentioned that dreaded word: ambition. After telling a teacher I wanted to be an illustrator, he told me that I would become an art teacher instead because that's what girls who were good at art did. I didn't want to be an art teacher, I wanted to make stuff, but a career in the creative industry also scared me - I'd heard how hard it was to get anywhere and I had little confidence in myself. And where I come from you just didn't do things like that for a living, you got a 'proper job' (and contrary to those who think that means a well paid job, where I come from that simply means a secure one - one where you stay forever). And coming from a working class background, it's seemingly common sense that you don't take risks - you play it safe at all costs when you have very little in the first place. Life teaches you to think smaller, to risk nothing, to put up your borders and only trust those close to home. You value a simple life over having any sort of influence or voice. You keep quiet and do as you're told.
It's incredibly difficult to break out of this rut, especially if encouragement is hard to come by. We probably all know people who have been told by their teachers and parents that they would never amount anything, and for a lot of them they never got to see past the criticism. This is why it's important for those in influential positions to give others a leg up where they can. I've seen so many people get overlooked in business because of their personality, race or sex - regarded as less important; disregarded for being 'a bit quiet', when they are full to the brim with ideas if they'd only be given a chance. Encouragement increases motivation and productivity. It helps people think a little bigger. It gives them confidence to open up and share ideas. It's common sense to incorporate it into business and get the best out of people. I regularly see posts by designers with the theme of 'good enough is not good enough' but, whilst recognising the need to develop and better our work, I also recognise that the people who say these things already have a lot of self belief. Some people spend a lifetime perfecting what they do and never feel good enough. You don't need to feel good enough, you just need to start. There are some absolutely brilliant artists who never have success with their work, and there are some very unskilled ones making a heap of money and happiness. Self belief counts for far more than talent.
But its not like you can go up to someone and say, 'hey, just believe in yourself!' As though there is a self-belief switch hidden under everyones left armpit. I have met a lot of people with no self belief, usually less-privileged families who have had to work incredibly hard just to make ends meet. Self belief doesn't even come into the equation for them; work is purely about survival - earning enough money to make sure children have hot dinners and a decent pair of shoes. "Who do you think you are with your poncy self belief malarky?! Just get back to work", they say (said in a broad Yorkshire accent for full effect). But the false economy is that a lot of people stick with low paid jobs because they don't think they can aim any higher. No one's ever told them they are good enough. And superiors may think they can get away with a half hearted "good job, Steve" at the end of the week, but we are not talking about hollow praise here - encouragement is a culture; an investment; a slow burner; a recognition of where someone's at and a gentle nudge to take another step forward.
So, I don't care if you're a Cleaner or a Chief Exec, I don't care how many people have told you you can't, you're able achieve great things. I don't care if that's making millions of pounds or millions of smiles, whatever makes you tick you can achieve it. I was told I would never make a career out of art, and now I'm doing it. And I don't know how long I'll be doing it for, or how many difficulties I'll have in the future, but the fact is I'm doing it and there's not a day I'm not thankful. And it's in part down to one or two people who told me I was good enough; they believed in me and my work, and they told me to go make stuff, despite my critics. Contrary to popular belief, there were no fireworks on the day I quit my day job; no one shook my hand; no one gave me a placard with 'living the dream' on it. Instead I was met with a lot of hard graft, a heap of condescending comments and a p45. But I don't think anything can prepare you better for a fulfilling career than small steps of self belief. And let's be perfectly clear, self-belief isn't about having a self inflated opinion of ourselves. People easily confuse arrogance with ability, but that is not what self belief is about. There are plenty of people who learn confidence before they've even learned substance – their attitude is all about self importance - and it's these people who pull the wool over the eyes of those with heaps of self doubt. Self belief is not something you're born with but something you cultivate, and something you cultivate in other people. I have been intentionally practicing it; surrounding myself with more positive people and challenging myself to take new risks with my work - and with each success feeling all the more confident. And with that confidence comes a responsibility to reach for those a few paces behind, to tell them they can achieve the things they thought impossible.
Perhaps if you're reading this you are already passionate about something. Perhaps you're well on your career path, fulfilling your ambitions and adding more to your list. But if, like me, you've also battled with self doubt, let me be the first to tell you that you are perfectly capable of achieving your ambitions, albeit with a lot of hard graft. And if you're currently surrounded by people who are critical of you, or who do not take you seriously maybe now's the time to surround yourself with encouragers. If you've never been told you're good at anything, let me be the first to say it:
You are good enough.
You are good enough to achieve brilliant things if you just take small steps to do so. Forget the non-constructive criticisms you've been told or how little you currently know, if you're up for learning then you can do it. That's not unrealistic, I'm not pie in the sky. I'm not telling you you won't have failure or experience huge setbacks. I'm not telling you you won't have to have determination or that it won't take time, but I am telling you it's possible.
You are good enough.
So go make stuff. Go invent something. Problem solve. Take a few considered risks. Apply for the job you thought you hadn't a chance in hell of getting. Yes, you might fail, but keep taking small steps in the right direction. Think a little bigger. Make a few harmless mistakes. You may not be the best in the world (yet), but you are good enough to make a start.
And once you've made a start, go give someone else a leg up.

What's In a Name: Selecting the Right Business Name
With all that is composed about selecting an area name, I thought I would address the ART of selecting a name for your business. It's in no way, shape or form a simple errand or one that ought to be taken delicately. So here we go.
Ask 500 individuals, as of now in business, how they chose their business name and you will get 500 separate answers. Everybody has a story behind how they picked their business name. Regardless of the possibility that the business is named after their own particular original name, there's most likely a motivation behind why this was finished.
When you open a business, it might be said, you are conceiving an offspring. This new conception was made from a thought by you or your partners. It will have its own particular ledger, its own government distinguishing proof number, its own particular credit records, its own wage and its own bills. On paper, it is another single person! Pretty much as though you were picking a name for an unborn kid, you have to invest extensive time in settling on your business name.
There are a few reasons why a decent business name is imperatively vital to your business. The primary clear reason is on account of it is the starting distinguishing proof to your clients. Nobody would need to work with somebody on the off chance that they didn't have an organization name yet. This makes you resemble a novice who is exceptionally questionable. Regardless of the possibility that you call your organization "Bill's Lawn Service", an organization name has been created and you are surely an organization. Individuals will thusly feel greater managing you.
Also, a business name ordinarily is an evidence as to the item or administration you offer. "Joan's Typing Service", "Karate Club for Men", "Jim-Dandy Jack-of-all-Trades", "Primary Street Laundry", "Missy's Gift Boutique" and "Star Publishers" are all cases of straightforward business names that promptly tell the client what item you offer.
Then again, the vast majority will pick the straightforward methodology when naming their business. They utilize their name, their mate's name, their kids' names or a mix of these names when naming a business. The national cheeseburger eatery network "Wendy's" was named after, proprietor, Dave's little girl. Really, research has demonstrated that these "cutesy" names are not the best names to use for a business. Numerous specialists guarantee that it makes the business look as well "mother and-pop-sie." But this relies on upon the business. On the off chance that you are offering something that requests this mind-set or topic to speak to your business, its alright to utilize this methodology.
Names like, "Sensible Solutions", "Direct Defenders", "Moonlighters Ink", "Printer's Friend", "Entirely Class", "Accumulations and Treasures", and "Starlight on Twilight" are all great samples of infectious names. These sorts of names identify with your item or administration yet serve as a sort of trademark for your business. This is a huge help when promoting.
When you name a youngster, you may not settle on a distinct name until after they are conceived. Clinic nurseries are stacked with "Kid" Smith and "Young lady" Jones name labels. You do this in light of the fact that a name is now and again connected with a sort of identity. Some way or another, I don't think Tarzan and Jane got the message, "Kid"? (dah!). When you name a business you may need to hold up until you have an item or administration to offer and afterward choose a business name before going into the business itself on the grounds that your business name ought to issue some sign in respect to what item or administration you are offering. A business named "Joe's Collections" regularly wouldn't offer auto parts and a business named "Corked thigh" would not offer weaving supplies.
To produce thoughts - start taking a gander at business signs all over you go. Notice which ones get your attention and stick in your psyche. Attempt and make sense of "why" they stuck in your psyche. Characteristically, the business "Domino's Pizza" sticks in your brain in light of the fact that it is broadly known. These don't check! Look around and notice the littler organizations. Take as much time as required. Inside a couple of days you ought to have the capacity to concoct a couple of potential business names.

It's not something operators want their customers to know. It's not even something many of them are willing to acknowledge publicly. But voice is no longer the sole domain of operators like Orange and O2.
In fact, voice is quickly becoming an application, just as phones are quickly becoming computers. And if operators are slow to reinvent themselves, they risk being seen as access (as opposed to service) providers in the new world of communications.
Sure, declining landline revenues are problematic for operators – there simply isn't enough money to be made selling data to make up for the loss, or so it seems now.
But mobile and fixed operators face a potentially even greater problem – how to establish themselves as more than just network access providers competing on the basis of speed and cost alone, once voice applications become more widely available.
The reality is that your phone can now be used purely as a computer. Smartphone sales using operating systems (OS) like Android, Apple, WebOS and Windows Mobile – as open to developers as the operating system on your computer – are rapidly increasing.
In fact, smartphones represent the fastest growing segment for mobile devices, according to Gartner. Voice just happens to be another application you can use on these gadgets.
Very soon, it won't matter what kind of phone you have or which operator sold it to you – your phone number won't even be attached to a particular device but instead will function more like an email address.
In the end, what matters most will be the applications you choose to run on your phone. And, of course, the network speeds and reliability those apps require. It won't even matter what OS you're using.
The cloud will win out on delivery of services, and so the OS becomes secondary. Applications will be delivered on-demand, and will adjust to whatever device you happen to be using.
Once you open your device to apps from Skype and other voice service providers, your days earning money selling minutes are numbered. But this is the best thing that could happen to mobile operators, given the unprecedented innovation happening in mobile now that devices and their capabilities have been made available to the mass developer community.
Mobile operators may try hard to fight this new reality (barring Google Voice from the iPhone App Store is one example of such a fight), but a better strategy might be to figure out how to earn revenue from application development and distribution.
The bottom line is mobile operators have to move toward an enablement model, where access enables both the platform layer and application development layer.
As not just access providers but service enablers, they can both collect revenue and share revenue with developers. And by helping to standardise access to network services through open APIs, operators can move voice beyond the boundaries of traditional networks and specific devices – essentially broadening their revenue opportunities.
If operators allow developers to access their networks, they stand a better chance of monetising voice as a cloud service. If they don't, software companies (Google, Microsoft, Skype) are going to end up owning those services instead, and owning the customer relationships, too.

My question is always simple: When were you happiest? The answer
is always good.
Jack Nicklaus: "Probably the day Barbara called and said, 'You're
a daddy!' I was playing in a tournament in Cincinnati, but when I
got to the hospital in Columbus, I said, 'Which one's mine?' They
pointed to Jackie, and I fainted straight away. I passed out when
all my kids were born. I learned to bring a pillow and smelling
Yogi Berra: "The day I became a big league ballplayer. I drove up
from the minors in my car. The first pitcher I caught was Spud
Chandler. Man, I always wanted to be a big leaguer."
Martina Navratilova: "It was when I was nine, living in Prague
with my grandmother. She would bring me sliced carrot salad so I
could see the ball better. She didn't own a TV. We'd do crossword
puzzles and listen to the radio. I was her golden little girl.
She saw me play once in Dallas and passed away not long after
that. I can never have those years back."
Chris Evert: "I'm 17 years old, I meet Jimmy Connors, and I'm in
love for the first time in my life. We had all of Europe lying in
front of us for the whole year. We played Wimbledon, Paris, Rome.
I was escorted by my mom, and he was traveling with his mom, so
we'd sneak out and go to, like, the Eiffel Tower. One time we
snuck away to go to the Vatican. Jimmy went to confession. He
came out and said, 'I had so much to confess, the priest told me
to come back and finish tomorrow.'"
Larry Bird: "In 1986, for sure. I was happy as hell because I
knew we [the Celtics] were going to win it. We simply were way
too talented. Bill Walton was there. Robert Parrish was playing
great. We just knew. Even in the Finals, we knew."
Pat Riley: "I can't think of any year when I've been totally
happy. Even when you're winning, you're not really happy."
Kurt Warner: "It wasn't the Super Bowl season; it was two years
before that. I got married, we got pregnant, and I got signed by
the Rams. I remember Brenda and I had finally scraped up enough
money to buy a house together, so we went out to a nice dinner.
While we were out, I had a buddy come and throw rose petals on
our walk. I had written WILL YOU MARRY ME? in Christmas lights on
the house. Then I turned to her two kids and said, 'Will you all
marry me?' and they all said, 'Yes.'"
Jim Brown: "The year we filmed The Dirty Dozen in London [1966].
It was such a scene, man. The film had so many stars in it, the
Beatles and the Stones were hot, the civil rights movement in
America was cooking. I'd just played in the championship game.
Everybody thought I should still be playing, but I was very happy
to leave the NFL on my own terms. I never had a serious injury in
my career, never had an operation, brother. I don't walk with a
limp now. My neck's not stiff. When I went back and watched my
first game, I was smiling."
Mario Lemieux: "The year we won our first Stanley Cup, in
1990-91. I was coming off back surgery. I had spent three months
flat on my back, plus I had a staph infection. I didn't know if I
would ever walk again, much less play. I remember I took the Cup
home that night. I took it into bed with my wife, and, well, I
can't go on much further about that."
Chris Mullin: "Maybe right now. When I was drinking, I was never
happy. I was always on edge, guilty, knowing I was supposed to be
somewhere else, and instead I was drinking. Now I'm calm. My
family's healthy. It's great to be sober."
Charles Barkley: "I haven't had it yet. Maybe when it's all said
and done, I'm rocking on my porch, two or three great-grandkids
around, everybody's healthy--that's when I'll be happiest. Because
this life isn't about you, man, it's about the people you love."
Mike Schmidt: "It had to be 1980. Donna and I had our second
child, Jonathan. There was a strike during spring training, so a
bunch of us--me, Steve Carlton, Tug McGraw--lived on a 50-foot
fishing boat in Clearwater [Fla.]. We fished and laughed the
whole time. I had a great year: MVP of the league and the World
Series, too. Tells you how crucial spring training is."
Larry Walker: "The year I was born, 1966. Everything has been so
much fun ever since. I want to thank my parents for whatever they
did that one night, because this life has been a blast."
Tiger Woods: "I was 11. I got straight A's, had two recesses a
day, had the cutest girlfriend and won 32 tournaments.
Everything's been downhill since."
"I'm 17 years old, I meet Jimmy Connors," says Evert, "and I'm
in love for the first time in my life."

The stylish bow window canopy has been specially designed for the home improvement industry, from rigid GRP with an integral ceiling incorporated within the design. Material and labour savings are often achieved by using this method of creating a bay window and once fitted the canopy remains impervious to the elements avoiding costly and time consuming maintenance, ideal for bow conversions.
The bow canopies can be foam filled and / or reinforced at an extra cost.
To compliment the bow canopy we supply a range of base units which incorporate an outer GRP skin and gallows brackets. Bases are available in two versions, either plywood or with a moulded GRP finish.

• elate •
Pronunciation: i-layt • Hear it!
Part of Speech: Verb
Meaning: To overjoy and uplift, overfill with happiness, make ecstatic or exultant.
Notes: The past participle and action noun of today's Good Word are most often encountered, elated and elation. There is an adjective, elative, used to refer to the elative cases of Finnish and Arabic, but is semantically unrelated to elate.
In Play: The basic meaning of this word is to make extremely happy and to uplift: "The dismissal of all charges against Robin Banks elated him, his mother, and his lawyer. This elated Robin much more than receiving the Man-of-the-Year award last August." Robin was even more elated to hear that the committee had decided not to divest him of that award.
Word History: Today's word is based on Latin elatus "brought out", the past participle of efferre "to bring out, exalt". This word comprises e-, a shortening of ex- "(out) from" + latus "brought". This irregular Latin verb has two different roots because irregular verbs often have different roots; take, for example English bring : brought. Ferre "to bear, carry" goes back to PIE bher- "to carry", which ended up in English as the verb bear. Latus shows up in many English words borrowed from Latin and Greek: translate, legislate, relate, and so on, all with some sense of "carry", "bring", or "bear".

John Dillinger
Page 1 of 1 • Share •
John Dillinger
John Dillinger was one of the most famous bank robbers in history. He was born in 1903, Indiana and was killed in 1934. John had a very difficult childhood because his mother died when he was 3 years old. His older sister moved after she got married a couple years after, which meant the John was left alone with his father. As he was growing he became more and more of a rebel, he began to shoplift and he was stealing coal from train cars and he would sell it to his neighbors. He was known as "Jackrabbit". t was in 1924 that he robbed a grocery store, he got caught and put in jail. He escaped with his gang, and they went to Chicago were they put together the most dangerous and organized bank robbing gangs in the United States. His entire band was arrested but Dillinger continued communing crimes until he was shot by the FBI in 1934.

Re: John Dillinger
John Dillinger served in the Navy, he spent most of his adult life in prison. Not only did he robe banks, but he helped bust his fellow gang members of out of jail. He also robed police stations. Interesting topic Romane. What made you so interested in this rebel?

Re: John Dillinger
Interesting, I always believed that most of the people that have psychological problems had some kind of an upsetting even that occurred in the childhood, like the death of the loved one. How was he able to escape when his gang was caught?

Re: John Dillinger
Like Lisa, I wonder what made him so dedicated to shoplifting and thievery. It couldn't have been the sole motivation of money... In total, he robbed 24 banks and 4 police stations. Wow! I personally think he had a certain aversion to authority, and that is why he planned attacks on police stations as well. Most thieves would avoid such places, if you think about it. Interesting topic, keep up the good work!

It might be absolutely freezing and blowing a gale but at least it's a really clear and sunny day, bracing I suppose they used to call it, and definitely isn't another grey day for a change. In reality the 'Lazy Wind' is blowing with a vengeance and trying its hardest to cut you in two, mind you if you are covered in a good layer of hair you hardly notice it, strange how dogs never seem to notice the weather.
After a lot of rooting around in the dykeside Barney has seen the farmer about half a mile away slowly walking towards us and if we manage to meet up at the old Nissen hut we can at least exchange pleasantries about the weather shielded from the icy blast of the lazy wind.
As a postscript the Norfolk Reed looks fantastic in the sun, the wind has stripped all the leaves away and now the reed looks like miniature bamboo waving and swaying in the wind.
Absolutely lovely.
