A issue with p element outside a list

w3.org, 

Thanks for a great site to check all my mistakes. 

I do have a little surprise for you. 

I have a nested unordered list that has the following style added in the
style section within the head element. 

ul {
list-style-image: url('needle.gif');
} 

This makes my bullets into a sewing needle 

Here is the error I get when checking the page 

and here is my code that it is hitting on, but I cannot see the reason
for the error as the paragraph is in fact opened and closed. I checked
the whole page in notpad++ to be sure no orphan code was laying about
and still cannot find this issue. 

Good luck on this one :)
