TimberCorp turns profit through difficult times
Published: March 1,2013
Tags: agriculture, Steve Butler, timber, TimberCorp
Heading toward its quarter-century anniversary, TimberCorp Inc. has managed to turn a profit every year.
However, there were some slim times at the land management company that has thrived through natural disasters, invasive species and a recession/housing market collapse.
"About three or four months of opening the company, I needed to buy a gate for a client," remembered Steve Butler, founder/president of TimberCorp, which is located just outside of Brandon in rural Rankin County. "I was informed we might not be able to afford it. A $70 gate — really? That was a watershed moment." After a pause, Butler added with a grin, "I immediately went back to the office and changed my fee schedule."
If it sounds as if Butler never lacked for confidence, it's because he had a pretty firm career going and had established a reputation and connections in the land management industry before forming TimberCorp.
Growing up in Jackson, Butler knew he wanted a career where he could work outside. He contemplated large-animal veterinary medicine and farming before settling on forestry. He would subsequently earn bachelor's and master's degrees in forestry from Mississippi State University. (He also is a graduate of the Southern Trust School at Birmingham Southern College and the National Graduate Trust School at Northwestern University, where he was a high honors graduate.)
He worked as an area forester for the Mississippi Forestry Commission, teaching assistant at MSU and consulting forester before joining Deposit Guaranty National Bank as a vice president and loan officer.
During his decade with the bank, Butler, 57, said he had the opportunity to connect with the industry and his fellow foresters, and learn lessons that would prove invaluable when he established TimberCorp.
"One of the keys to our success here at TimberCorp has been our diversity," Butler said. "When I was at the bank, I'd call up foresters and ask, 'Hey, would you be interested in mowing some grass for me?' Some would say no, others would do it. I learned that if you offered everything — a one-stop shop — people will call you and keep calling you."
In 1989, Butler hung out his shingle, and growth has been steady at TimberCorp since then. Today, the company's staff includes four registered foresters and a forestry tech, and Butler can count customers in Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas — it has even worked as far afield as Alaska.
Learning from the bank, the company offers a full slate of services, from timberland management, appraisal and brokerage to land partitions, market research and lease negotiations.
Butler said the last eight years have been TimberCorp's most challenging. Hurricane Katrina stood the market on its ear by shoving a massive amount of timber into mills and undercutting prices.
Then, there was the 2008 financial correction and the bottoming out of the housing market.
"It was tough," Butler admitted. "I advised clients to not sell after Katrina when prices were down some 30 percent. Then the recession hit and prices went down about 50 percent. In the mean time, too many of our small, family-owned sawmills have gone under. It has been a difficult time.
"We are seeing signs that the industry is starting to rebound. I understand our sawmills actually have been making money the last few months. And the news from the housing market is improving."
While TimberCorp is Butler's focus, he says he has always felt compelled to work toward bettering the industry as a whole. Among his many professional achievements is serving as president of both the Mississippi Forestry Association, Association of Consulting Foresters (Mississippi chapter) and emeritus trustee/chairman Mississippi Forestry Foundation.
"It's just kind of who I am — I like to get involved," said Butler, a big man whose personality quickly fills a room. "Not only do I feel like I'm contributing, but I also keep in touch with my peers, landowners and others. It's a win-win."
All of these accomplishments and his industry involvement have not gone unnoticed. Butler won the Presidential Citation from the Mississippi Forestry Association in 1985 and was named Outstanding Young Forester by the Mississippi Society of American Foresters in 1989.
Preparing to celebrate TimberCorp's 25th anniversary next year, Butler says he plans no major changes to the company's business model, though he did not rule out a satellite office or two in the future.
He said with a big smile, "Has it met my expectations? Yes. I can afford to buy gates now."

Mars Investigations, Loose Ends Division. Coco enters and tells Keith that PAQ moved out. Did Coco not witness Keith lording his victory over PAQ? Because that was kind of hard to miss. Coco adds that Wallace tells her Keith is to thank. Keith graciously hands her a cup of coffee and tells her that the law works slowly, and that he was worried...for Wallace. Coco apologizes for how awful she was, and says that Keith must be a very decent man. She also implies that the things people say about him are pretty bad. Hey, maybe it's just that they saw the pilot. Coco sips her coffee, and manages to choke out a request for sugar. Hee. Nice form on not spitting it in his face. I guess her attitude toward him really has changed.
So I just took a break to eat dinner, and Galaxy Quest was on TBS. I haven't watched that since I started recapping Veronica Mars, so I flipped it on. Man, I forgot how fucking hilarious Colantoni was in that. "Commander, some of the crew have requested to be present at this HISTORIC event!" If he wanted to convince PAQ he was nuts, he should have just channeled his performance in that role. While wearing the wig, of course. In other Galaxy Quest-related news, I couldn't love Sam Rockwell more if he showed up at my door with a bottle of chianti and an early X-Files marathon.
Oh, right, this last scene. It's not that big a deal, so maybe I'll skip it.
Jeez, calm down! Kidding! Prison. Veronica sits down behind the glass. She picks up the phone to talk to Koontz. As noted in the forums, I don't know how Veronica could have gotten in without ID showing her as Ellen White. Koontz tells Veronica she's a breath of fresh air, and throws her a little test about their hometown, which she passes. He muses that she reminds him of someone he knew a long time ago. I should throw in that Koontz is played by the same actor who played Balthazar in the Buffy episode "Bad Girls," so you know he can bring the creepy. And he's doing exactly that here, as he, as I sort of alluded to earlier, is giving off a kind of Jame Gumb-esque vibe, with the weird accent and the towering over Veronica and the CUCKOO! Watch out for the butterflies, Veronica! She shows him the sneaker pictures, and suggests that they could prove his innocence, or at least force a retrial. Koontz says he's not interested in any such thing, and reveals that he knows who Veronica is, because he used to see Lianne when she came into the office on lunch hours. As he works himself up into a lather, he adds that Veronica isn't Keith's daughter, but Jake's: "Look in a mirror! Are you the product of a schlubby sheriff, or the King and Queen of the prom?" Oy. Look, not to take away from the acting in this scene, because it's top-notch. But the problem is, Lianne and Veronica look nothing alike. And even though that's a pretty major flaw, considering that part of this plot point depends on Koontz recognizing the family resemblance, I could possibly let it go, were it not for the fact that Koontz is pushing the "You don't look like Keith, so you're not his child" argument. Either resemblances matter, or they don't. I mean, by Koontz's argument, Veronica could be the child of Haaron Echolls and Inga from the sheriff's office. (Aside to Rob Thomas: Is that right? You can tell me!) Anyway, having dropped the bomb, Koontz deems the conversation over. Veronica looks stunned. "Who's your daddy," indeed.

Whoever edited or deleted all my stuff for Alaska, I don't even care anymore because I totally forgot about the page anyway-- but with that said:
Because of this issue, my original design and information of Alaska will be strictly private. I apologize, since I did get several comments and praise for my design and detail of her personality, lifestyle, past, ect. but thanks to the Available-For-Any-And-All-To-Edit of this site, it will no longer be available.
If you saw my Deviantart for it or my Tumblr contact, you are lucky to have witnessed it while it was but sadly, Alina as one of the names I had called her, is gone.
P.S. Whoever that Russia in-character person that was, I live in Alaska, and my personal thought is, your view on Alaska sucks and is entirely biased by Belarus, Russia and Ukraine's canon character. It wasn't even funny so...... Sorry, you really struck out. I live in Alaska so..... There you go.
P.S.S. No seriously, whoever deleted all my shit here, thanks for making me go through the effort of reworking ALL that information I had. Hope it makes you giggle like a snide hyena, you fuck. I love it when I make people laugh.
Peace out! I'm keeping this girly in a safe vault. She's too cute for the likes of indecent editors anyway. :P

Don't try to force anybody to take your help while he can manage on his own. Don't force anybody to see through your eyes when he has eyes. And at least, please, don't place your specs on anybody's eyes; your numbers are different. You will drive that person blind, you will distort his vision. But not only specs are being put on you, people are putting their eyes on top of your eyes - and they are all doing it for your good, for your sake. And after twenty years, thirty years of continuous conditioning, you start forgetting that you had never asked the question in the first place.
I am reminded of a very creative person, Gertrude Stein. She was dying; her friends were around her. Suddenly she opened her eyes and asked, "What is the answer?" And the friends looked puzzled. Had she gone mad just before death? Had she lost her reason? What kind of thing was she asking: "What is the answer?"
One of them said, "But you have not asked the question, so how can we say what the answer is?"
So she said, "Okay then, tell me, what is the question?" And she died.
To me it is of tremendous significance. It relates to almost every human being. You have forgotten that you had not asked the question, and the answer has already been forced into you. And of course it is a simple process of conditioning: go on telling the person, go on telling the person the same thing again and again. Soon the person starts repeating it like a gramophone record. And the person has forgotten that he had not asked the question.
Perhaps at the very end Stein discovered her fresh childhood. It happens to many people when they are dying. The circle completes, they come to the same point from where they had begun. So she is asking, "What is the answer?" because only answers were given. And nobody had bothered about the question. And now when, at this last moment, somebody asked, "But first tell us what the question is" - she becomes aware.but now it is too late. And the answers have been so much, so heavy, such a load on the being, that to ask an authentic question now has also become impossible. So she asks, "Okay, if a question is needed, then I ask you: 'What is the question?'"
To me, this small incident is immensely significant. It is everybody's life. You talk about God, you talk about the soul, you talk about heaven, hell, but have you ever thought - are these your questions? Are you really interested in God? What interest can you have in God? On what grounds can God become your quest?
I was born in a Jaina family. In Jainism, God is not believed in; there is no God as creator; because the conditioning of Jainism does not enforce the idea of God on its children, no Jaina child, or old Jaina ever asks, "Who created the world?" They have been conditioned, from the very beginning, that the world exists from eternity to eternity; there is nobody who is a creator, and there is no need. Hence the question does not arise.

Making the Cut - Safely
Hamilton, ON -- Each year many people are injured while using chain saws, notes the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health & Safety (CCOHS) in its latest Health and Safety Report (Vol. 10, Issue 9). The hands, knees, feet and head are most vulnerable to being cut by the chain saw chain. However if you use a chain saw often, there are also other health risks such as hearing loss from the noise of the chain saw; damage to the hands from vibration; poisoning from chain saw exhaust gases if used in enclosed spaces; and the risk of fire from fuel spillage.
The CCOHS report provided a list of valuable do's and don'ts of cutting with a chain saw, reproduced here with the aim of helping you prevent injuries.

Bad Blood Lyrics - Xentrix
Stinging sensation, a bad combination,
Tearing at each other all the time.
A need for aggression, a way of expression.
Where is the reason for the crime?
Bonded by hatred, sentenced to endless toil and strife.
Waiting for the time, to take away your life.
A fist full of fury, no judge and no jury,
There is a time and there's a place.
A rightful decision with perfect precision.
I think it's time to end the human race.
Bonded by Hatred...
It infects me, it annoys me,
It destroys me.
There's no reason for this treason,
Or what you've done.
Bad Blood
Bad Blood
Bad Blood
Bad Blood
It infects me...
Bad Blood...

A skier's best friend
If it's true that a dog is a man's best friend, then wouldn't it make sense to assume that an avalanche rescue dog is a skier's best friend? I think so! Especially considering that these specially trained dogs bring such a valuable skill and service to the table. And what would that be you ask? […]

Last weekends' snowstorm brought over 90″ inches of snow to Solitude (yippe!), but it also brought a slew of skiers from Smallwood {you figure out the translation} as well (bummer).

Satisfy your sweet tooth at Solitude
I think chocolate gets a bad rap. People spend so much time focusing on the negatives that they forget about the positives of this delectable treat.

Customer Reviews
September 2014
Wonderful little island in the Caribbean. Great fish lunch and fun catamaran ride. The island is off the coast of Columbia. For a fee you can snorkel or take a ride to a sister island where you can visit an aquarium. Recommended tour.
December 2013
The viator tour was quite good. You leave the marina on a sleek super fast boat which takes you to the island. You are with approximately 40 people. The water is rough and wild-but pleasing!
Once on the island, you can go snorkeling, scuba or see an aquarium. We opted for snorkeling which was surprisingly pretty good.
Then a typical Colombian lunch of fish, rise and plantains. Not great but not bad either.
This was a good experience.

Fish Oil Benefits
Heart Health
Fish oil helps:
- Promote healthy heart beat
- Moderate growth rate of atherosclerotic plaque
- Naturally balance triglycerides, an important heart health marker
This is why the American Heart Association recommends that you take 1000 mg of Omega-3 everyday.
Joint Care
Omega-3 is a powerful anti-inflammatory for your joints.
- Reduces joint discomfort
- Reduces morning stiffness
- Helps reduces the amount of painkillers needed
- Reduces enzymes that destroy cartilage
- Increases grip strength
- Enhances walking pace
Brain Health
More than half the fats in the brain is Omega-3 DHA. And the lining of the nerve cells in the brain is lined with Omega-3. So, brain performance & function (cognition) is strongly influenced by the amount of Omega-3 in your diet.
Increased levels of Omega-3 helps:
- Enhance memory
- Support thinking speed
- Increase overall cognition
- Manage age-related brain decline
EPA Omega-3 is crucial in maintaining mood health. In several studies, EPA has been found to be as effective as prescription anti-depressants.
Several studies have shown that persons with depression have low Omega-3 levels and high Omega-6 levels.
This is why Omega-3 Has Become a Buzzword.
- Major health organizations want you to take Omega-3:
- American Heart Association (AHA)
- Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
- National Institute of Health (NIH)
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- Even the White House is recommending Omega-3
- Solid scientific proof for health benefits
- Media coverage
New research and studies are constantly unearthing additional fish oil benefits.

What if u were told by one of a bootcamp member to take 25 fish oil tabs a day what would u think?????
- March 25, 2013 at 3:33 pm
Good Morning I have a question..
Im 20 Years old im 130 pounds (normal size) im not healthy at all. I dont like Veggies I eat alot of junk food, I want my hair to grow super long (b.c its short) I want my skin to be clear (I break out alot) && also would like my nails to grow too! Which fish oil pill you reccomend me buying at the drug store or herb mart, I dont care how much its costs i just really want a Great pill that will make my Hair grow long.. overall! thank you!!
- May 26, 2014 at 3:56 pm
first of all if you eat lousy you are going to look and feel the same. forget the long hair, or healthy hair for that matter cause unless you change some of your eating habits you are in for a rocky road as you get older. I would suggest you start with a real good multi vitamin mineral supplement. you can't get what you're looking for with just a fish pill. ALIVE by natures way if a good whole food multi that's reasonably priced to start with. its a whole food supplement. walmart sells it as will as a good fish oil softgel. or you can get it online. if you don't like vegetables get a little blender and do some combinations. they taste really good and its instant nutrition. cmbining fruits and vegetables gets the best taste. you will also need extra potassium, magnesium, calcium citrate, vitamin c and zinc. and I would also get a good eye vitamin. puritans pride has one called VISION 20/20. you would be amazed at how poor eating habits will effect your eyes. it won't happen next week but you can be sure IT WILL HAPPEN. if you don't end up with cancer I would be surprised cause the junk foods has a lot of bad things added to it. as does processed foods. start adding foods you don't like and don't eat one at a time and when you get that incorporated into your diet good add something else. believe me you don't want to continue on the path you are on.

I just received my prime-mail prescription of Lovaza. I was shocked to see my portion of the bill!! When my dr. told me it was a "tad" more expensive than what I was taking before, I did not expect a 300% increase! This first shipment is being chalked up to a live and learn experience. I cannot afford to continue with Lovaza after this first 90 days is gone. My triglycerides need regulation. My current Lovaza dosage is 2 1GM capsules twice daily. What dosage Omegavia would you suggest if I want to try that next?
- June 6, 2013 at 1:19 am
Hi Vin. I've read a lot of articles saying it's important to take a higher quality fish oil. Could you recommend a few brands I would be able to purchase (Preferably from a store but online recommendations I'd also appreciate). Thank you for the information.
- August 26, 2013 at 10:02 am
Vin, the omega-3 in Omega XL (glorified in the Larry King Infomercial) is made from the green-lipped mussel harvested in New Zealand. Are you aware of any advantages of omega-3 derived from the green-lipped mussel as opposed to the omega-3 derived from fish oil?
- August 28, 2013 at 11:25 am
I've managed to ferret out that the Omega XL folks claim the product contains thirty fatty acids in each capsule: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), Alpha-Linolenic acid (ALA), Palmitic acid, Palmitoleic acid, Stearic acid, Vaccenic acid, Linoleic acid (an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid), Linoelaidic acid (an omega-6 trans fatty acid), Oleic acid (an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid), Nervonic acid (an omega-9 monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid), Arachidonic acid (AA), Docosapentaenoic acid (DPA), Heptadecanoic acid, Eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), Arachidic acid, Elaidic acid, Linolenic acid (GLA), Gadoleic acid, Eicosadienoic acid (EDA), Behenic acid, Tricosanoic acid, Butyric acid, Caprylic acid, Capric acid, Undecanoic acid, Lauric acid, Pentadecanoic acid, and Myristic acid.
Which of these fatty acids would you characerize as beneficial and which would you characterize as harmful or not beneficial?
Are any or all of these fatty acids present in omega-3 fish oil?

Dear Vın,
First of all I have to thank you for your clear info about fish oil. I think you will not remember me. Two years ago I gave Omegavia order to you but I couldn't get because of Turkish customs. And I have asked to you may I use Carlsons Liquid form. Because Nordic Naturals are extremely expensive in Turkey. But on the internet I saw a link as below.
So I am wondering if am I getting heavy metals to my body by giving extra money to fish oils. I need your help. How can I be sure that Carlsons products are reliable? I sent an e-mail to Carlson but nobody give me an answer I think they think that a persons questions from Turkey is negligible
Best Regards

You have mentioned in your blogs that Gluten found in wheat products like Roti, bread etc is harmful. It will raise the TG levels. I have been trying to research on this on various websites and I gather that Gluten is a protein found in many grains, including wheat, rye and barley. It's found in most breads, cereals, pastas and many processed foods. People who have a condition called celiac disease need to avoid this. I do not see any relation between Gluten and TG.

How do I lower a genetic high LDL? I eat we'll weigh 125, exercise, take 1000mg of krill per day, asa 81mg, and cholestat. The krill and Cholestat which is sugar cane I get from an organic health food place. I take notice the EPA is 188mg and DHA is112mg. I cannot take statins..bad side effect.
Please send me some direction on how to manage this…what I am taking did not touch my LDL…help I do know DHA increases your LDL help!
- May 4, 2014 at 3:14 am

I have mild psoriasis. I am 43 years old. I had guttate psoriasis once right after strep throat. My D level were under 30. I used to take Carlson's Cod liver oil with vitamins D3 and went tanning booth. It cleared up completely but a very few mild psoriasis left on my legs. My D level were 50. Now, I am concerned about vitamins A toxicity in cod liver oil or should I not be? I am thinking to switch to Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil like OmegaVia and vitamins D3 5000mg. What do you think? Thanks, Michelle

Does Omega-3 Fish Oil (1000mg, daily), regardless of brand, help with clear and healthy skin, particularly acne? Also, is Lysine healthy to take daily? I was told it was also beneficial for healthy skin.

I have had an awful problem with eczema around my eyes. I cannot figure out the cause of it. Would fish oil be helpful? If so, how much should I take?
- October 16, 2014 at 5:53 am
Hi, i am 20 yrs old girl. I start to take omega 3 6 & 9 and spirulina about 2 months ago.. a day after i took these supplement, all my acnes(about 12) come out from both of my cheeks and it never comes out after that. However, it left sooo many scars on my cheek. And some of the acnes that comes out 2 months ago are not actually 'dead' until today.. what should i do?

Does fish oil works for hair growth back.
- November 3, 2014 at 9:48 am
I have been taking 300mg of Omega-3 Krill Oil for 5 years now and am looking into increasing it to 1000mg, but am concerned about the stated raise in Arachidonic Acid AA levels. The research on this is all over the place-with some stating that Omega-3 Krill Lowers the AA levels and some state that it Raises it. I like the benefits of the Krill and the fact that you only need to take 1 capsule a day and no fishy aftertaste, but am wondering if it might be safer to go with the Fish Oils and avoid the AA controversy?

Hello Vin, Thank you much for the speedy reply! Can you recommend any burpless Fish Oil capsules(hopefully in a 1 capsule dose) for the needed dosage?

My son Matthew was in a snow tubing accident Feb 16, 2014. In which he suffered fractions in the face, almost lost his right eye, and a very bad concession. That has cause a great deal of short-term memory loss. I was at a Dr. appt and a woman there that works with brain injury everyday. She recommend that my son start Fish Oil pills but, I was unsure of what to do, my son goes back to the Dr next week, was going to wait and ask him about it. What are comments on this??
- November 24, 2014 at 3:38 pm
Hi Vin, I am planning to buy a good quality fish oil for my 65 year old dad. Is it advisable to purchase Ubiquinol to enhance absorption of fish oil? Thanks.

Infamous RBN quits China
Infamous cybercrime hosting outfit Russian Business Network (RBN) has disappeared again, days after quitting Russia and setting up shop in China. RBN obtained seven net blocks of Chinese IP addresses. Last Wednesday (8 November), some of RBN's clients began popping up on some of the 5,120 IP addresses it had acquired. But a day …
I did wonder
i wondered how long China would tolerate Russian spammers.
I'm getting less than a third of the spam I was until a week or so ago. Too early to be sure, but perhaps the tide has finally turned.
Cracking Down
Perhaps someone should tell the RIAA etc., that there's a whole bunch of torrents "hosted" on the RBN servers. I look forward to the day when child pornographers are hunted down with the same zeal as file sharing sites.
IP ranges
why did they got those Chinese IP ranges in the first place... and then ban them???
A few well-placed payments
to Chinese officials could have left RBN free to disseminate the Internet equivalent of lead and date rape drug laden toys. Suprising that someone calling themselves a "Business Network" wasn't aware of how to conduct business in the country next door.
Bulletproof hosting that isn't
What's more, the people behind RBN aren't bulletproof, either. Eventually they'll step on the wrong toes, and then it's time for sleeping with the fishes.
Which is really too good for kiddie porn purveyors, but prolonged torture requires dedicating much more time than those scum are worth.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a near or below average 2014 Atlantic hurricane season which begins on June 1 and lasts for 6 months.
Forecasters predict eight to 13 tropical storms, three to six of which will become hurricanes. One to two of those hurricanes could grow in strength and become Category 3 or higher storms, according to NOAA. Average named storms is 12, average hurricanes is 6 and average strong hurricanes a year is 3.
The seasonal numbers for 2014 are expected to be at or lower than average, but forecasters say even below average seasons can produce hurricanes.
Outlooks can be confusing and deceitful at times because If you talk to someone in a 'quiet' season that's just been hit by the only hurricane of the year, I doubt they'd tell you it was 'quiet.' One is all it takes, and one destructive storm can change lives within hours. Remember Hurricane Andrew? It was the only hurricane to make landfall in 1992 - but it was catastrophic, Category 5.
So what do we get from an outlook? Well it could just be an idea of how active the season will be, and no doubt that helps us gauge overall risk. Chances are an active season would end up with more landfalls than a very quiet one, as far as probability goes. But outlooks, though well intentioned, are no lock. Last year is a prime example because it was forecast to be an extremely active year and it fell well short. It featured the fewest hurricanes since 1982, and not a single 'Major' (Category 3 or higher) hurricane developed.
Another issue with outlooks is the tendency for many is to focus on the hurricanes or major hurricane columns, but they are not the only destructive storms. Sandy was barely a hurricane at landfall, but its massive size allowed for a record-breaking storm surge in the most densely populated area of the U.S..
Tropical storms, even though their winds aren't as strong, can dump large amounts of rain and lead to flooding which is a much bigger killer when it comes to tropical landfall than strong winds. Every storm is different. Some are rain-makers. Some are surge producers. Some are destructive wind machines. Some bring dozens of tornadoes inland. And some feature a combination of many of these risks. So while an outlook may have a few useful attributes, we urge all living along the coast to ALWAYS be prepared for the ONE potential storm.
El Nino is part of the reason why NOAA is predicting a below normal season.
Currently, NOAA is estimating a 65% chance of El Nino developing by late summer. During past El Nino years, hurricane development is usually lower than non El Nino years.
El Niño is the warming of the waters of the East Equatorial South Pacific. Warm water equals rising air which turns into strong upper level winds. When El Nino is occurring, wind shear increases over the tropical Atlantic. Unlike storms over the U.S. that last longer and are strongest when wind shear is high, the opposite effect happens to tropical storms. It blows the tops off developing thunderstorms and keeps them from forming into a more cohesive tropical system.
El Nino isn't a 'cure' for hurricanes and they can, and do, still happen with a warm ENSO phase. There are many other variables at work though, like sea surface temperatures and Saharan dust for example. It's something we'll be watching closely this upcoming summer and just remember all it takes is 1 storm to make landfall to cause big problems.
Here's a look at the 2014 HURRICANE NAMES:

IE responds slooowww
It takes IE about 3 minutes to open. I bring it up and I have a white page. The window is frozen until the page fully loads. I can't scroll. I can't click on tools or home or favorites. I can't even get out of the page without bringing up task manager. I called my internet provider. It's not the modem. He had me start up in safe mode and the pages came up fast as normal again.
What could be doing this?
How can I fix this annoyance without reformatting?
Thank you.
|My System Specs
|06 Nov 2012
Do you have a lot of toolbars, this slows down IE dramatically. Try disabling any of them that you don't need.
You could also try resetting you IE settings back to their default: Tools > click "Advanced" tab > Reset.
Also check your add-ons: Tools > Programs > Manage add-ons.
You could also try rolling back to a previous version of IE, and then reinstalling the update again.
Are you experiencing any decrease in speed when using any other applications/browsers or is it only IE?
These are just a few things that I would have a check with if it happened to me, it's worth a shot anyway
Oh - Have you scanned for any spyware/viruses? I use Malware bytes. Restart in safe mode with networking (to update the program) and then check for infections
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
Thank you. I can't believe I didn't think of a system restore. This issue is fixed now. I rolled back 4 days. So do you think I downloaded something that caused this? Everything I had downloaded in the last few days (2 items) I uninstalled, but it didn't fix the problem. I even went in registry (dont yell at me lol) and deleted the items from there that I uninstalled.
I didn't have a lot of tool bars.
I had reset IE with no results.
I did check add ons
I did not lose speed with other applications and I only have IE as my browser.
Does windows security scan for spyware? Its the only thing I'm using right now. I used to have Malware byte but then I reformatted my pc. It'll let me download but not scan without buying suddenly. I also loved that Eset (I think) scan but now suddenly you have to buy this too.
Thank you very much!
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
Glad you have your problem fixed !
Does windows security scan for spyware? Its the only thing I'm using right now.
MS Security Essentials, Windows Defender, Windows Firewall, or something else?
What real-time security programs do you use for Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, etc. ?
I used to have Malware byte but then I reformatted my pc. It'll let me download but not scan without buying suddenly.
The free version should allow on-demand scanning.
The paid version includes real-time protection.
You should not have to buy the PRO version to run a scan.
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
Yes, I use MS Essentials. I don't think Defender is activated... if that's the right word. I just use MS Essentials.
I don't know where I downloaded before, but I redownloaded Malwarebytes and it's scanning right now. So that's working.
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
I just have MS Security Essentials running but if I get the suspicion that something could be infecting the system, I'll run a check with malware bytes and 99% of the time that clears it all up
Glad it's all working now though
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
9 buggies were found and quarantined. Once it scanned it said my trial version was over. I tried to scan again, though, and it let me.
Thanks again
|My System Specs
|07 Nov 2012
Glad you got it sorted.
If you ever do want the real-time Malwarebytes protection, the PRO version is normally ~ $25 USD.
You can find it on sale for $15-$20 sometimes at places like Newegg or Walmart.
It's a lifetime license (no annual fees).
I use Malwarebytes PRO and MS Security Essentials for real-time protection and don't have any issues running the two together.

Chrysler's CEO takes the stand today as the company works to convince a New York bankruptcy judge a deal with Fiat can save it from liquidation.
The automaker is in the midst of its second day of testimony and the judge says he's ready in case the hearing spills over into tomorrow. Yesterday, the judge listened to nine hours of testimony on Chrysler's proposed deal with Fiat. The automaker needs Judge Arthur Gonzalez to approve the sale despite protests from a group that holds less than 1 percent of Chrysler's secured debt.
If the sale is approved, the automaker could emerge from bankruptcy protection within weeks.
Today's testimony includes arguments from dissenters to the deal. Chrysler says the sale is the only way to keep the company from being sold off for parts.

I have 3 boys! Can we make a girl?
Find a Conversation
|Wed, 02-09-2011 - 12:27pm
OK.. Ill start at the beginning. I first conceived when I was 19 and gave birth to my first beautiful little guy. Before he was born children was just not something I thought I EVER wanted. DH did not want anymore after him. It took 3 years of growing up and pushing a bit but he decided another go. So two weeks after TTC we found out we were expecting again. They were completely different pregnancies and really thought there was a LG in there.. my first two ultrasounds showed girl but I had a third (high risk) and thats when he showed himself... He was beautiful but knew that I would always yearn for that little girl. So a year and two months later we stopped BC and decided to give it one more try. My third baby is now 3 months old and again another beautiful little boy :)
|Wed, 02-09-2011 - 7:52pm
When I found out we were having a second boy during my second pregnancy, we looked up stats on baby sex and here's what we found out:
First time around: 50/50 chance either sex
Second time around: 65/35 (65% chance of having same sex as first/35% chance having different sex as first)
Third time around if first two of same sex: 85/15 (85% chance of having same sex again if first two were too)
Fourth time around if all three are same sex: 50/50 either sex even odds
Your third pregnancy you only had 15% chances of having a girl according to what we found

Sabslove Started The Discussion:
I joined a new company, and got pregnant immediately. however i haven't told anyone about it as yet. now i am on my 5th month and i am on the verge of getting an appraisal in April. Also, i am not sure if i will get maternity leave as its been less than a yr since i have worked.
what should i DO?
Dinesh Divekar - Member Since: Nov 2006
Dear Sabslove,
It is important for you to give notice of pregnancy to your employer. If you are covered under ESI Act then use Form 5. Otherwise normal certificate from the Gynaecologist will also suffice.
You are eligible for maternity benefits. If you are covered under ESI Act then you must have attendance of 70 days or more. If you are not covered under ESI Act, then you will be covered under Maternity Benefit Act. Attendance requirement for this act is 80 days.
Dinesh V Divekar
hi Dinesh,
my company HR policy is listed as below:
Women employees who have completed one year or employment and a minimum of 160 days of continuous service with the company are eligible for maternity leave.
So in this case can i argue for the above?
Dear Sabslove,
Please do not ever try to hide anything to the employer or to the management. It might give you a bigger issue later. Then you should be aware that a HR at the time of interview would have checked on to the status of the employee. If it is a female employee then he/she would check with her age, marital status, etc...
My advice would be that inform the management right away... Happy Pregnancy! :)
Dear Sabslove,
As per your words a female employee who is minimum on to the service for 160 days is eligible for maternity leave. You said that after you joined the company you became pregnant. 160 days = Maximum of 6months. Your leave would start from your 8th month. So as per your company rule you are eligible. So don't worry... ;)
yeas.. but i forgot to mention here... that 160 days with the company as a permanent employee. As mentioned i have recently joined and i am still on probation period. And hence would not complete 160 days to claim maternity benefit.. that would be even used to hold my confirmation that is goin to happen in April.
Hence the worry.. however i guess i should inform them anyhow!
Dear Sabslove,
According to section 5(2) of the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 every woman employee become entitled to receive maternity benefit if she works for a continous period of 80 days in the twelve months immediately preceding the date of her expected delivery. The company policy is contrary with the law.

Sadly, my company states that since i wasnt working for a yr continuously (joined this company on Oct 2009 and was on a 2 yr break prior to that)...hence, i wont be eligible for maternity benefit. :(
Dear Member,
If you wish you can take the help of law enforcing agency i.e. the State Labour Department.

Sean Singletary left the game in the final minute of Virginia's 94-76 loss to Georgia Tech, and as he did, the entire crowd at Bobcats Arena rose to its feet. Fans off the ACC realized that it could very well have been the final time that the senior guard left the court in a Virginia uniform.
Singletary scored 20 points and tied a career high with ten assists last night, which is just the possible cap on a exceptional resume. He is one of just three players in ACC history to score 2,000 points, dish out 500 assists, and grab 400 rebounds in his career. He was All ACC First Team three consecutive seasons, and is fifth in Cavalier history with 2,022 points. Singletary's 20 points last night extended his double figures scoring streak to 52 games.
The senior may have at least one more game to play, as the Cavaliers await a decision on their immediate future. The NIT or College Basketball Invitational could select Virginia to be in one of its respective fields.

Charlotte County Sheriff's deputies arrested four teens on felony charges following a weekend "egging" spree of homes and cars in the Englewood area.
CCSO received a call at 12:20 a.m. Sunday after a woman said she heard a "thud" on the side of her home in the 8300 block of Roosevelt St., south of Grove City. Her son went out to investigate, got into their van and followed a Dodge Intrepid; he got the description of the car and license tag. As he approached the car, he said he recognized three of four in the car. Deputies arrived and found eggs hit the home and car but were immediately washed off and there was no damage.
Deputies ran the tag and tracked down the teenaers. The four were brought in Sunday night and arrested.
Deputies in their investigation said the four teens went to WalMart in Englewood and bought several cases containing 180 eggs. Homes and cars hit were Roosevelt Street, Rotonda West, Rotonda Circle, Placida Road and Olde Englewood areas. All four were arrested and charged with felony Criminal Mischief over $1,000 and taken to the Charlotte County Jail.

Spending more time with you family. Finding time to exercise. Clearing out your e-mail inbox on a regular basis (I know, shocking). What would you do with an extra 15 days each year? 15 days you can take that vacation you've been putting off, 15 days to start a business, 15 days to discover a passion you didn't know existed.
One of the wisest decisions I've made this year has also been one of he craziest. But that's the thing about wisdom – it often parallels insanity.
In 2010 I've committed to waking up one hour earlier…and by doing so, I've added an hour each day that I didn't have before – 365 hours in a year, 15 days. Folks, that's a lot of time – and it's been time well spent.
In that time, I've discovered that at 25 years old, owning your own business, creating professional freedom, and loving what you do is not impossible.
I've continued to grow my passion for writing. Almost every morning, at 5am when I wake up and start my day, I open up my laptop, and write. Before the sun comes up, before my wife wakes up, before the emails start flowing in, I have my moment of solace where it's just me and a blank screen starting back at me, begging me to write a few words each day.
In that hour, I clear my mind of distractions, I get organized, I prepare myself for the day ahead. There's no frantic, "Oh shit I overslept what do I have to do today? Where do I have to be?"
And maybe most importantly, I get to start my day with the best friends a guy could ask for. Zack, Slater, Screech, Kelly, and the rest of the Saved by the Bell gang. (I swear, the day TBS takes Saved by the Bell off the air, I won't know what to do with myself – at that point, I'll be writing a post about why you should sleep in).
So whether you're an early bird or a night owl – think about how you can add an hour to your day.
Maybe I'm crazy, or maybe I just inspired you to find a little extra time in your day to do something amazing.
What would you do with an extra hour today? What would you do with an extra 15 days in 2011?
(Check out the full rundown of my #reverb10 posts here)
Hey Matt,
Great post – it is interesting, I have have been toying with this idea for a while. I've been planning/easing into waking up at 5am for the last little bit. For this exact reason as well. I am also going to be starting to train for a sprint marathon with a coworker. I usually wake up at about 7, so that adds more than an hour for me.
You were able to do it the whole year? What would you say the "hump" is? You know, the amount of time it takes for it to become routine. For running/gym, it was 3 weeks for me.
Don't you just have to go to bed earlier? I mean, there is a required amount of sleep. I get up at 5am…but I go to bed before 9:30.
I don't know about Matt, but I dont think we actually need 8hrs of sleep a night. I think there is a tendancy to sleep more when you are tired (like 10hrs) and it makes you even more tired! I think studies show that it depends on the person, people tend to need between 6-10 hours a night. I find this topic incredibly interesting!
Individual needs to vary, but studies have shown that if you get average < 7 uninterrupted hours of sleep, you are actually damaging your brain. When you are younger, you need more sleep and as you age, your body's sleep requirements decrease but never cross 7 hours.
Personally for me, on the days I get only 6, I am grumpy in the morning and tired all day long.
Totally have to agree with this posting! With being self-employed and working from home, while homeschooling our three children as well, the only "me" time I get is early in the morning. I drink my coffee, check email, read TweetDeck, write blog posts and do yoga all before 7 AM. If I don't get it done before then, it just doesn't happen.
Wow getting up early EVERY day? Im impressed. But i like the sound of "In that hour, I clear my mind of distractions, I get organized, I prepare myself for the day ahead. There's no frantic, "Oh shit I overslept what do I have to do today? Where do I have to be?" as I often have those fears even when I know where I need to be, am prepared, havent forgotten anything when I leave the house, I dont have that calm and in my "havent had coffee" state worry. I did get up early last week. Worked out. Did the crossword. The whole day was energetic, productive and smooth. Was this bc I got up earlier? Maybe. But heres the problem: If I had 15 extra days a yr, Id use them to sleep. I love sleeping, bumming, being in my cozy bed. As a young, peon atty my life is not my own and sleep is a luxury im not afforded often. How could i forego more of it, even in the name of self-improvement? Cheers, T.
I've mentioned before that I'm not an early bird. But if you put it that way, well, I just might have to reconsider my stance against waking up early. An extra hour in a day could be huge. Thanks for breaking it down.
I'm a night owl. I can't believe you get up early! That's when I go to bed. I write at night while I'm chatting with my Twitter crew, got my Blip.FM stream going, and then I say hello to the sun and sign off. Magically while I'm sleeping, WordPress sends out my blog post and then things get rolling. I wish I could be a morning person. I absolutely love that time. There's just something magical about the first rays of the sun hitting your face and the inspiration but I just haven't gotten there. Maybe someday.
I've also been waking up at 5am each morning – I alternate between writing and running. I had never done the math to figure out how many days I was gaining by that simple act. It's amazing how much time you can gain just by getting up a little earlier each day! My one problem is that now I fall asleep crazy early. Have you had the same issue?
Count me among the early morning hour addicts! Here it is Saturday morning, and I "slept in" to 5:20, and 2 hours later, I've walked the dog, done the laundry, baked brownies and made steel cut oats for the week. Spending the early hours of the morning in the kitchen on the weekend is my favorite time of the week. During the week, I take that extra hour in the morning to work out or to catch up on my RSS, so I can get my day started with no distractions when I get the the office at 8.
On the flip side, I live like an 80 year old woman – I like to be in bed by 9pm so I can read fun stuff (no marketing reading in the bedroom!) for a few minutes before I go to sleep.
