 of a £1.25million bid from QPR.
"We have targeted a number of players during the last few weeks and although we have missed out on some, the board are continuing to work hard to assist me in bringing new additions to the football club,'' Warnock told his club's official website. "I am confident that we will have a few new players on board in the next couple of weeks."
Warnock has also refuted reports that he is ready to leave the club following comments made by Peterborough director of football Barry Fry.
QPR reportedly met with potential target Craig Mackail-Smith recently but the striker turned down a move as he did not receive assurances that Warnock would be at the helm come the start of the season, according to Fry.
The comments led to rife speculation that the former Sheffield United boss had quit the newly-promoted side, with sources citing disagreements with major shareholder Flavio Briatore.
Warnock, though, dispelled such suggestions, saying: "With regards to my own position, I am really excited about the challenge that lies ahead next season and I can't wait for pre-season training next week."
The 62-year-old's sentiments were echoed by an official statement from QPR, which denied reports that Warnock had quit.
"The club is aware of rumours circulating with regards to the future of QPR manager Neil Warnock," it read. "The club would like to make it clear that Neil Warnock has not resigned from his post and is continuing to work hard behind-the-scenes ahead of the R's return to pre-season training next week.
"We would once again advise QPR supporters to ignore idle speculation and reiterate that news is only official once it appears via our communication channels."Deepwater Horizon: Five Years On
It is clear that Gulf’s wildlife is still feeling the effects of the disaster. A federal judge will soon decide the case against BP and other companies for violations of the Clean Water Act.
Five years ago, the Deepwater Horizon oil rig exploded and sank in the Gulf of Mexico. Eleven people were killed, and the resulting oil spill was the worst in US history. By the time the well was capped, after 87 days, an estimated 3.19 million barrels of oil had leaked into the Gulf. The oil spread throughout the water column. Some floated to the surface to form oil slicks which spread quickly by being pushed by winds. Some remained in the middle layer, formed because chemical dispersants released into the water to break up the oil allowed it to mix with seawater and stay suspended beneath the surface. Some oil sank to the sea floor by gluing together particles in the water, such as bacteria and phytoplankton, and falling as “marine snow” causing damage to deep sea corals.
The impact of the oil spill on the local wildlife was immediately visible. Sea turtles and dolphins stranded on beaches, fish lay belly-up in brown sludge, and seabirds’ feathers were covered in oil, impeding their ability to fly, feed and find food.
With the five year anniversary approaching, on 20th April, a new report by the National Wildlife Federation has examined how 20 species of wildlife are faring in the aftermath..”
Five Years and Counting: Gulf Wildlife in the Aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon Disaster reports the following.
- modelling estimates that 12% of the brown pelicans and 32%.
It is clear that Gulf’s wildlife is still feeling the effects of the disaster. A federal judge will soon decide the case against BP and other companies for violations of the Clean Water Act. This will fund projects to restore wetlands, rebuild oyster reefs and protect landscapes – necessary actions to enhance the health of the Gulf to benefit local people as well as wildlife. As O’Mara notes: “Holding BP fully accountable and using all fines and penalties to restore the Gulf of Mexico must be a national priority.”Thursday, March 3, 2016
The Invisible Resistance
Every gank performed in the name of the Code is a revolutionary act--and a wholesome, fulfilling one at that. Agent Aaaarrgg acted quickly and resolutely when he destroyed a rebel Retriever in the Dresi system. How would the locals respond?
The reaction was mixed. And it was slow to develop, as many residents were still returning to their keyboards nearly an hour later.
Uh-oh, we've got a live one!
xxBIOHAZARD xx spoke out against the New Order's authority. Though harmlessly docked up in a station, his words were harsh and full of anger. Was he merely having a bad day, or was he a committed rebel?
xxBIOHAZARD claimed to be a former member of New Order Logistics, a corporation in the CODE. alliance. If he'd joined the resistance, there was no telling what kind of sensitive intel he might've brought with him. Gank methods, schedules... Anything!
Aaaarrgg had no choice but to investigate the potential security breach. He politely requested the identity of xxBIOHAZARD's alt.
It was worse than Aaaarrgg feared. xxBIOHAZARD created entire squadrons that had spent months ruining New Order gank operations. And none of us were aware of it!
Rebel spymaster xxBIOHAZARD carefully guarded his secrets. He wasn't going to let CODE. know where CODE. members were dying.
Thus far, the leader of the rebel squadrons had kept all of their activities under the radar. Way, way, way under the radar. Like, still parked on the runway.
The squadrons were growing. xxBIOHAZARD and his secret alts only formed the vanguard of his resistance movement.
At last, the Anti-Gankers had a leader worthy of their cause.
Aaaarrgg and xxBIOHAZARD parted ways. In the months that followed, there was no sign of xxBIOHAZARD or his squadrons. He didn't take any action against the New Order. But then again, that was sort of the point: A resistance movement so secret--so invisible--that as far as anyone in the New Order knows, it doesn't exist.

Looks like antiganking failed again!!!
Any antigankers that are upset about this please remember we are here for you to talk to. Dont be like your moderator. Speak up and get help.
#broadcast4reps
Any code members that are upset because I give my attention to Wolf's ass and his rectal health, you need to call and make an appointment. The number to call is 1-800-382-5663. The thing about Wolf though, is that he actually invited me into the "secret place" in his ass to take a load off. Bonus room indeed.
In before anonymous crybear claims "Y U BULLY xxBIOHAZARD?!"
Are there ever any kind of resistances other than invisible ones?
Do forum resistances count?
It would seem that Miners are so "polarized" that they don't have any resistances.
Fit your cat
I wish I was so edgy that I had "xx" at the beginning and end of my name!
CCP needs to look into VOTER FRAUD!! There are people who do not have EVE accounts who are VOTING
"hope in 1 hand and shit in the other"
"Id clean that off if I were you"
I spat on my screen. Great job. Seriously! xD
It was classic, Aaaarrgg Master of wit. I love it. Looks like XXBio came unarmed to this battle
Dear miners of highsec,
If you are going to lie about being in CODE at least say you were in The Conference Elite(TCE). Saying NOL just makes you look sad because that corp is literally cool people from top to bottom. Everyone knows this and it gives you away immediately.
Hope this helps!
Hugs and kisses,
John
Oh goody! A new Rebel Commander!!
I hope he lasts.

Should I worry about this dude chasing me in highsec? This is important.
I'm asking for a friend.
It is hard to believe that day after day after week after month after year, we are still able to find people as stupid as this lying xxbio bitch.
Yeah! More boring tripe from the CODE whose lasting legacy to EVE, despite all of its own pseudo-psycho religious protestations, amounts to nothing more than self-aggrandizing drivel. Never has a corporation worked so hard to achieve so little. Please, no really, please regale us yet once more with gallant tales of burning ants with a magnifying glass, er, I mean yer mighty and most righteous gankings.
I'm certain those ants did not have a mining permit, so yeah they were POD killed.
You don't really equate AFK high sec miners with ants do you?
Ants are hard working, colonists that work together to achieve targets no single ant would ever be able to accomplish. High Sec AFK miners couldn't possibly hope to accomplish such a feat as working together for mutual benefits.
Certain they didn't have a permit, are you? Since when has that mattered? Plenty of pilots have been killed and podded who had permits. And who said they are AFK and not working together? Prove it. As in objectively-speaking, produce your empirical evidence of AFK and not working together case-by-case. Stop cowering behind sanctimon
