Continuing disputes between the United States and Canada over lumber imports will not get in the way of a new factory announced Wednesday in Bibb County.
Canada based Irving Consumer Products announced their intent to build a $400 million, 700,000 square foot plant which will turn softwood lumber into toilet tissue in Macon. That will create 200 permanent jobs.
Among the politicians and business people at Macon's historic Terminal Station for the announcement was US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. The Commerce Department recently imposed tariffs on Canadian lumber imports in an effort to give American lumber a leg up. Ross said he hoped that wouldn't be a problem.
"At times the Commerce Department's unique role in this causes us to pursue trade cases," Ross told the assembled crowd, including Irving CEOs. "But we hope that the current forestry disputes will be brought to a happy conclusion quickly."
Irving Consumer Products enjoys the lowest rate of the new tariffs, something around 10 percent. Some other Canadian lumber producers have been saddled with tariffs approaching 30 percent.
Most of the wood to be used in the Macon factory will come from Canada while none will come from Georgia.
Ross also said the renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement, another possible stumbling block to cross border deals like the Macon plant, should begin before the end of August.
Governor Nathan Deal used the event to publicly nudge Ross and President Trump to spend money on Savannah's harbor expansion.
"I know that's not necessarily your department," Deal said to both Ross from the podium. "But when you are in cabinet meetings and the topic comes up about infrastructure, please tell them we are not only shovel ready, we are dredge ready."
The Macon plant is expected to be up and running in 2019.

In the world we live in today, gone are the ages when you needed a physical location every day whether you need it or not to have your jobs completed. Advancements in technology have made communication a breeze and the concept of outsourcing workers. A majority of people still believe that they can only boost productivity by working from a central location which is false. You can increase productivity by outsourcing employees that can work from the comforts of their home. That is the reason we are going to support outsourcing workers in today's post. Apart from that below are some reasons why you should take advantage of va hire to outsource workers.
No office costs
If you choose to outsource workers, you are going to save lots of money because of you won't need to set up an office, pay electricity costs, internet costs, water among other small expenses that can add up and consume a significant portion of your budget.
Eco friendly
The initiative of outsourcing workers benefits the environment as well. For instance, if you have a task that you wish to be completed overseas you won't have to travel with all the members of your team. Instead of paying hefty travel costs and polluting the environment when going by airplane to your destination you can outsource professional workers over there to do all the dirty work on your behalf.
Balance between work and private life
Workers working from the comfort of their homes have all the time they need meaning that they can handle homesickness and stress levels very well. The principal reason is that they spend more quality time with their loved ones. This allows them to maintain the balance between corporate life and private life.
Talent at hand
You can focus on expansion
When you think of expanding your business and outsourcing more employees, then you will need to set aside some cash to pay for the office space and buy the required equipment. By outsourcing employees, you can minimize the fuss and spend the money you save on expanding your business to increase your profits.
Time saving
By outsourcing workers, you will save a considerable fraction of time every day. Yes, you heard me right! For example, if you outsource workers from different locations then their chances of wasting time chatting about issues that are not relevant is very high.
No politics
It is very reasonable to find that workers working from a central location having office politics or lobbying at any given moment. A significant advantage of outsourcing employees from different places is that you will ensure that your workers don't participate in detrimental activities like lobbying or politics that can hinder the growth of your business significantly.

Figuring out how to use SEO is going to be hard for you when you first start out. To get the results you want, you need knowledge and patience. The following paragraphs offer concrete advice about how to beat the professionals at their own game.
Search engine optimization is accomplished through many different means. By tailoring your website to include search-friendly terms and tags, you will be able to increase your search rankings. The increased performance will result in an overall better experience for the user.
When creating pages keeping SEO in mind, it's better to have many short articles on related topics than one very long article. Longer pages are not as well weighted by search engines. Also, viewers will likely read shorter articles.
Instead of writing in AP style, use SEO style to improve search engine optimization. SEO style means you should try to repeat certain keywords as much as you can without breaking the flow in the article. As the search engines do their job by finding keywords and putting a value on their density, you will find your rankings improving.
A properly coded site is an important part of a successful SEO strategy. If your site uses primarily JavaScript for content, for example, and the code is messy, the search engine spiders will be unable to index it. When your website contains a lot of Flash content with no text to describe it, search engines won't see it at all.
Make sure when writing internal links and backlinks for your website that you use good anchor text. Generic link text, such as "click here", does not positively affect search engine results. You can attract web crawlers to your anchor text by using relevant keywords in it.
Advertising is not the main focus when using SEO techniques to gain rankings for your site. While ads on certain sites might bring some traffic, your rankings will not increase.
When creating URL names for your separate pages, remember that spiders are not able to make sense of session id names and dynamic language, like /page_id=59. Web crawlers are not designed to crawl these kinds of pages, so make your site's directory structure and page names are keyword-friendly.
There are many different strategies to optimize your site for search engines. You will get the best results if the system is set to achieve the maximum efficiency with searches. As you improve performance, users will benefit from a more enjoyable experience.
Improving content on your website is the very best strategy to drive customers towards your site. Users aren't going to spend time at a site unless they can find the information they need, and improving your content is one of the easiest ways to drive-up traffic.
Meta Tags
To make a specific page of a website more search engine friendly, include keywords in the page's URL. Should there be special characters or numbers in the URL, you must consider whether people will actually search using them. This can hurt your search rankings. Using strong keywords connected to your topic is sure to boost your traffic.
To help you to rank highly on search engines you'll need to take advantage of the meta tags for "Title", "Description", and "Keywords". The content of your meta tags is what helps the search engine categorize your website and determine how to describe your link to searchers. Therefore, make sure you use all the possible spellings of your keywords.
Develop a site map to make it easier for the search engines to index your pages. A site map is also known as the navigation bar. This part of your web site will let search engines know how many pages your web site has and what each one contains. You will increase your search engine rankings by including a site map, no matter how large or small your site.
Patience is crucial if you are trying to boost your site's ranking. Nothing will happen or change in one night to dramatically increases your traffic. In fact, it could take several months, especially if your website is new. Just like a traditional business, it will take time to build your name.
Whether your site includes audio or visual content, you will want to have transcripts of the content available. When you offer these transcripts, search engines can then categorize your content and position it properly in its listings.
Use header tags on your website. They may sometimes be too large, but using CSS can help you change their sizes. Search engines love headers and use them as a means to rank a website. The most important aspects of your page, like the service or product you are offering, should be flagged with either H1 and/or H2 tags.
Improving your description tags will also increase your search engine ranking, which in turn will increase the number of visitors your site receives. An efficient description tag should not exceed 30 words in length. This page should be smaller than 100 KB in size.
Avoid using Flash on websites you want to perform SEO on. Flash may take a little while to load and then won't be able to be gone over by search engine crawlers. This means that a Flash file's text won't get to be indexed. In order to do search engine optimization for your website, search engines must be able to see and crawl your content.
Before starting, research your keywords. Learn what keywords you should be focusing on as you put together your site's content. Researching keywords can help people find you in your specific area. You can then use those terms to increase your rankings through search engine optimization.
Once you decide which key phrases you will be using in your website, be sure you put them in your title as well. Your title is your websites first handshake with search engines, so make it friendly and relevant. People will click on the link to your site since it will fit the user's search results.
Don't post duplicate content. Know that you could use duplicate content and not even know. Having identical product descriptions on different pages may seem like an efficient thing to do, but search engines are unable to make the necessary distinctions.
Search Engines
Image links are a rarity on websites that have undergone thorough search engine optimization. The only purpose an image link serves is to store the URL of a linked file. This is not as beneficial when search engines index them.
To make certain pages more easier to find for search engines, use keyword in the URL of the page. If that URL has symbols and numbers that people probably won't search for, then that page may not rank as highly in the search engines. When you use relevant keywords, your site traffic will improve.
It is extremely important that all of your site's images have a corresponding alt tag. Alt tags display to visitors if they have chosen not to view images on your site. Keyword inclusion in image tags allow search engines to recognize and rank these images improving overall site rankings.
Make a sitemap for your viewers, and include your keywords a few times. A site map basically shows all the areas available to viewers on your websites, and provides an easy access point to find what they are looking for. Site maps are used by search engine bots to find and rank websites.
Use off-site linking in order to boost your search engine ranking. This is best way to use linking. Search engines favor relevant off-site links more than the internal ones leading you to additional pages on your own website. Look for options that will also link to your website; this will help your site rank highly and increase your traffic.
First of all, your website has to be registered with the search engines, which doesn't happen automatically. It is often thought that this happens automatically. Check often to ascertain that your website is still indexed. Your website may not come up as the most popular page but if it isn't coming up at all then it has no chance to rise.
Write things that are new and exciting; you will rank higher with search engines. To get a lot of traffic, you'll need to offer unique content that can't be found elsewhere. When you add unique content and make your site different from others, people become far more interested in it.
Site maps and videos are great opportunities to enhance a site's SEO. Videos can be great for personal introductions or product demonstrations and tutorials. Add keywords to the embed codes, and add it to your site. When you build your sitemap, submit your URL through Google Webmaster. Then, post it on Metacafe, Yahoo, YouTube, and other popular video sites. After that, you can relax and wait for customers to arrive.
Make current events an element of the content of your website, especially those that are related to your products. This helps to glean visitors who are not searching specifically for what you offer. It also adds informative content to your site.
Use the "alt" tag on webpage images to maximize SEO. These tags take the place of images if the image cannot be displayed. These tags are just another smart way that you can incorporate keywords, and improve your site ranking in searches.
If you are sharing a server, you need to make sure that a banned site doesn't share the same proxy. If you do share your proxy with a site that is banned for spamming or other fraudulent activities, your rankings could be lowered, thereby decreasing the traffic to your site.
Think about what a person might enter into a search engine to find a site like yours, and make sure those phrases appear multiple times in your site's content. While you want to make those keywords present in your titles and in the content of your articles, you need to take caution. Using the same keyword too often can flag your site as spam, and that will really hurt your rankings.
Choose your keywords and keyword phrases as if you were a customer. Figure out which ordinary, everyday terms people actually use when they search.
Unique Content
Do not publish an article more than once your site. Google sees this as spamming and will reduce your page rank for it. It also reduces your link count, which also brings your ranking down.
You should write unique content so you can get higher on search engine ranks- make it your top priority. A great way to generate more traffic onto your web site is to have unique content. When you add unique content and make your site different from others, people become far more interested in it.
If you have a sub-hosted website and you purchase a domain for it, request your host to forward the old site to your brand new domain. This ensures that a user with a prior bookmark can still find you. You could also use redirect pages on the old site, which brings users automatically to your new site from the old one.
One of the top tips for search engine optimization is to not forget to stay on top of your ranking within the search engines. Monitor your standings to see how your SEO is going. Find online tools, such as Google or Alexa, and do a bit of research on your page rank.
Ensure that your web server has the ability to differentiate between uppercase and lowercase URLs. If this doesn't happen, your site could be respidered in lower case letter, which splits up the link juice.
It is important to configure your server to treat URLs as case sensitive. If you don't, your entire website might end up re-spidered by the search engines with lower-case letters, reducing the benefit of any links into your site.
If you are having a hard time writing good content and optimizing your blog or website at the same time, you have to make a choice. You need to opt for writing the quality content first and then focus on optimization techniques afterward. If your website consists of nothing more than a string of keywords, nobody will bother taking a second look.
In summary, you've just learned some SEO basics that will help you raise the visibility of your website. Use these tips to make your site easier to find.
Put a sitemap on the site and include a link back to it on each page. The footer is typically the best place to put sitemap links. The sitemap will allow search engine software to get your website indexed.

Drawdown investment strategies are still closely aligned with those for non-drawdown clients, new research shows, despite their differing needs.
Research from Aegon finds that the largest investment flows for both drawdown and non-drawdown clients over the last year were into multi-asset strategies, accounting for 45 and 46 per cent respectively.
Equity growth and bonds came in second and third place for both types of clients. Equity income was ranked fourth for drawdown clients, with 12 per cent of flows, compared to 8 per cent for non-drawdown investors.
The difference in the popularity of bonds was just three per cent between the two different types of investors.
The similarity in investment strategies persists despite a three-fold increase in the number of retirees that have opted for drawdown since the pension freedoms, and that drawdown investors have "different demands on their money and generally shorter investment time frames," Aegon says.
Aegon investment director Nick Dixon says: "Drawdown's popularity has rocketed since the pension freedoms, but retirees' investment choices are still adjusting to the needs of those that choose to remain wedded to the markets in retirement. Drawdown investors are largely favouring tried and tested brands and investment strategies over newer, more tailored options.
"As a result, there is a mis-match between the long-term growth objectives of many of the strategies being used, and the near-term income needs of retirees who use them. Retirees are also now more exposed to market highs and lows than they have ever been.
"While most drawdown investors have benefited in the largely buoyant markets witnessed since the new rules came into force, the strategies used haven't yet been tested by a Dotcom or credit crunch style market shock. Our hope is that the market evolves further before one occurs."

Last year I bought I dress to wear on the day I graduated from college. It was big with eyelit flowers on it. It fell just above my knees. And it was a size 10. Now, at this point in my life my body was much larger. Due to countless wing nights and late nights of drinking calorie fueled beer I had ballooned to nearly 185 lbs and was really a size 12-14. I was in denial as well. How could these fun nights spent with my best friends, resulting in countless amazing memories, also have this kind of affect on my body? I continued to squeeze into everything that was a size 10. Refusing to go any higher.
So, back to this dress. I bought it for graduation. My graduation day from Bucknell was one of the saddest of my life. I was leaving the place I had called home for the last 4 years. The place where I met and fell in love with my amazing husband and made lifelong friendships. I had countless memories and "growing" experiences" here that I was not yet ready to leave. It rained on our graduation day and the water soaked through my graduation goan to the tight fabic from of this too-tight dress. The pink fabric stained my skin and clung to my body. It itched in an increasingly uncomfortable way. This was a constant reminder of what had happened to my body. The rolls and ripples that covered my stomach, theighs, butt, and back were all of a sudden so real to me. I knew I had to do something.
Today I put on that same dress to wear while running errands with my beloved husband. To my great surprise the dress hung losley off of my body. It zipped so easily and was so loose around my chest. I remembered struggling to zip it up the day I bought it and how shallow my breathing had to be while wearing it because of how tight it was around my ribs.
This dress is really a symbol of how far I've come since then. I have stripped myself of much of the excess weight and along with it my fear of actually following my dreams. I have stripped myself of the unforgiving job I was going to everyday and finally found an industry that I am not only passionate about but that I have a gift for.
Things are good. And it took putting on a little pink dress for me to truly realize how far I have come.
In the dress at my grad party.

Every morning I sit and eat fruit while I reflect on the prior days attempts at food combining... sometimes I'm drinking coffee, which always comes first, but usually I'm eating fresh, seasonal, usually organic, fruit.
Yesterday was Shepherds Pie leftovers for lunch. I browned a bit of whole wheat bread and tossed it on top for some crunch. It was good.
Last night I baked Rainbow Trout with a bit of almond oil, grated hazelnuts and lemon juice. On the table I garnished with more lemon juice and nuts. David and I made large side salads to accompany the fish. It was actually quite delicious. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to get trout that is caught wild. I prefer wild caught, fresh (NOT previously frozen) fish. The selection yesterday wasn't great. The wild caught had all been previously frozen and all the fresh were farm raised. So I went by preference and price. Always good fall backs.
And no pics because we ate it all before I thought about taking a picture. It was actually a pretty plate with the slightly browned edges on the pink fillets and the toasted nuts. We feed our dogs all raw foods (an entirely different topic which would fill an entirely separate blog) and our Bull Mastiff couldn't get enough of the Rainbow Trout before I stuck it in the oven. Of course then he didn't want his chicken later....
Oh and while David did use his cloth towel to prevent food splatter a woman made popcorn in the microwave..... probably not the best day to test theories.

Bail Hearings
In most cases bail is granted. It is generally set directly following a defendant's arrest at a bail hearing. At this hearing, the bail amount is set by the presiding judge. The amount of bail depends on several factors, including the county's particular bail schedule, as well as the severity of crime, priors, pending charges, and more. But in some federal cases, bail is denied.
This can be for a number of reasons. Depending on the jurisdiction, guidelines can differ, but it is common for bail to be denied based on a public safety exception. This exception implies that the defendant poses a risk of danger to themselves and others if released on bail before their trial date. This is sometimes referred to as a "protective detention."
In federal court, the Bail Reform Act of 1984 decrees when judges have the right to deny bail based on the danger risk of a defendant. These protective detentions are permitted by the Act so long as the defendant is being charged with a certain type of federal offense. These offenses include:
▶ Violent Crimes
▶ Crimes Involving Minors
▶ Neglecting to Register as a Sex Offender
▶ Drug Crimes with Maximum Penalty of 10 Years
▶ Crimes with a Maximum Penalty of a Life Sentence
▶ Crimes with a Maximum Penalty of Capital Punishment
▶ Felony Crimes with 2 Prior Qualifying Crimes on Criminal Record
▶ Crimes Involving Weapon Possession or Use
These offenses only make a defendant eligible for denied bail. It does not guarantee that their bail will be denied. A judge must also take into consideration the level of danger the defendant poses to the community and to themselves. They must consider the nature of the crime, the seriousness of the risk they pose to others, and the level of evidence the prosecution has against them, as well as the defendant's criminal history, personal characteristics, mental illnesses, substance abuse problems, employment, family, and more. If a judge denies bail, they must explain why in a written order. Defendants have the right to appeal the order in a higher court, but these kind of appeal are rarely won.

My favourite shots this year. (Nope, couldn't choose.)
A morning I want to remember, just him and me.
Having a serious conversation with me over a 'big boy' cino and marshmallows at our local. Afterwards we went train watching, followed by a visit to his baby cousin.
He is becoming quite the conversationalist, engaging in long phone calls with his Dad:
'Oh that's exciting! And what did you do next Dad?'
'Oh that's exciting! And what did you do next Dad?'
He tickles me with his language, the way he beams and says 'No pleasure!' when thanked, mixing up 'no worries' and 'my pleasure'.

Ajax have left Tottenham target Davinson Sanchez out of their squad for their clash with Heracles on Saturday night.
The Colombian centre-half is wanted by Spurs, who have opened talks with Ajax over a possible £35million move.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is understood to be in Amsterdam trying to thrash out a deal for the twice-capped 21-year-old
Sanchez has made himself one of the most sought-after defenders in Europe, having impressed during the Amsterdammers run to the Europa League final last term.
Mauricio Pochettino and his scouting staff have made Sanchez - Ajax player of the year last season - a top target ahead of the close of the transfer window.
Ajax have offered Sanchez a huge new deal to stay in Amsterdam, but his future is uncertain.
Ajax boss Marcel Keizer and sporting director Marc Overmars have both held talks with the player, whom they want to keep for another season.
Keizer confirmed on Saturday afternoon that Sanchez had been left behind from the travelling squad for the trip to Heracles.
"Marc Overmars and I have both had contact with Davinson about the things that surround him," said Keizer.
"Of course, I hope he stays with Ajax, but tonight we play without him.
"I only want players with 100 per cent focus on Heracles."

4 x MWC Classic 1960s/70s Pattern Vietnam Watches on Webbing Straps (New but need batteries)
Sold Out
4 x MWC Classic 1960s/70s Pattern Vietnam Watches
We discovered these watches during a stock check, they are MWC Vietnam watches made in around 2006 and were the model MWC introduced when they first upgraded the watches to a metal case. For some reason a box were missed and not registered on the system at the time of delivery, the battery life of the watches is normally three years (sometimes a bit more) so this means the batteries need replacement, these watches were all brand-new and in perfect condition with plastic still on the crystal etc because they were in a sealed box as received from the manufacturer so it's very unlikely anything other than a battery swap could be needed. They are reduced to just £39.95 for all four (normally the watches are £34.95 each!) because it is not practical to return them back to one of our offices for the batteries to be changed or to be sent to MWC because by the time we have factored in the shipping costs back and forth it would not be worthwhile.
SKU Code: NAM/BLK/MET
MWC's Vietnam Watches are virtually identical in appearance to the watches used by American troops in the Vietnam war during the 1960s and 1970s they produce two variants in both covert black and the original olive drab.
MWC manufactured the plastic Vietnam watches for many years which were based on the original Vietnam models which you can see when you click this link where there are various images and details. The actual US Military Issue models were made of plastic because they were deemed disposable and of course the problem for MWC with making their own Vietnam watches in plastic is they were in effect very basic just like the originals so in 2010 they decided to completely rethink the watch and whilst keeping the original appearance, weight and feel they switched to all metal construction which means that although the watch looks very close to the originals it is vastly superior in both durability and general quality.

When Mike D'Antoni was the bench boss of the Phoenix Suns, he was named NBA Coach Of The Year, in his first full campaign with the organization. The key to the coach's and his squad's success came from a helter-skelter, fast-break offense labeled "Seven Seconds Or Less" by the coach. The player that made that style work for Phoenix, was point guard Steve Nash; who returned to his former team after a stint with the Dallas Mavericks; the summer before the Suns coach won the award. Nash led Phoenix to the Western Conference Finals in 2005 and 2006, but the team would fall short of getting into the Post Season round, that awarded the victor the Larry O'Brien Trophy.
D'Antoni and Nash, parted ways in the Spring of 2008, as the coach and new Suns Team President Steve Kerr, differed on basketball philosophy. Kerr wanted to play a more defensive game, while the coach only cared about outscoring his opponent by one point at the conclusion of the contest. The coach was given permission for his agent to negotiate with other clubs and D'Antoni became the new head coach of the New York Knicks. However, Nash and D'Antoni would be teamed up once again; this time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
The veteran point guard inked a Free Agent pact with the club during the off-season and the Lakers were able to acquire the best center in the Association, as they pulled off a four-team trade to get Dwight Gooden from the Orlando Magic. Along side Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol, the squad was expected to be an offensive juggernaut this season, however Los Angeles started the campaign with Mike Brown as their head coach. The former bench boss of the Cleveland Cavaliers, believes that offense sells tickets, but it is defense that ultimately win games and Championships. In an ideal world; Brown would be ecstatic winning every game by a 72-68 margin; however the Lakers decided early in the season that they needed a coach who could take advantage of the offense on his roster; firing Brown after starting the season 1-4.
D'Antoni resigned his position as head coach of the Knicks, as he had lost the team and realized he was not going to get their loyalty back. Most likely, he would not have been near the top of most team's lists of candidates to become their next coach, however Nash reportedly campaigned hard for his former coach to get the gig. Perhaps more importantly, the point guard got his back-court mate Bryant on board, which may have sealed the deal for D'Antoni to become the new coach of the squad, receiving a three-year deal for a reported $12 million.
Bernie Bickerstaff took over as interim coach as D'Antoni finished rehab after having knee replacement surgery at the end of October. The new Lakers bench boss would start his career in Los Angeles with a 95-90 victory over the Brooklyn Nets and has a 2-2 record in his new position after topping the Mavericks in Dallas on Saturday night by a 115-89 margin.
The Lakers have been without the services of Nash since the end of October, when his left leg was slightly fractured as Portland Trail Blazers rookie point guard Damian Lillard accidentally caught the veteran with his knee in the second game of the campaign for Los Angeles. He is expected to be able to return to action early this coming week, according to the "Los Angeles Times," and it is at that point that Bryant, his teammates and the new coach expect the "Seven Seconds Or Less" to make its real debut with the team.
After losing on Wednesday to the Sacramento Kings, the Lakers All-Star told reporters that he was not feeling more fatigued after playing in back-to-back games with the faster paced offense. Bryant said "I'm not working too hard, to be honest with you. The shots that I made were all jumpers. It doesn't take much energy to knock those jumpers down. Bringing the ball up and having me kind of initiate the offense and score and stuff like that, it's making me work a little more than I will when Gatsby gets back. When Gatsby gets back, I don't have to do that. The game's going to become even more easy for me."
The "Black Mamba" has come up with a new moniker for Nash, as he is sporting a hairstyle that makes him look like he is part of the cast of "Mad Men." Bryant's new nickname for his teammate, stems from the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald; "The Great Gatsby," whose title character transform himself from a working-class boy named Jay Gatz; into a very wealthy dandy, who rubbed elbows with the elite of his time. Apparently Kobe is waiting for his "Gatsby" to transform the team, as the fictional character transformed himself.
D'Antoni, told members of the media, that although Bryant will still be the main scorer for the squad, Nash will be the player who controls the flow of the offense. The new coach said "Our offense, when Steve Nash runs it, should look a little different. He did it the best and I'm looking forward to that. We'll always go through Kobe. If it is changed a little bit then we'll sit down and get it changed back because right now he's playing the best I've seen him ever play, or as good as he's ever played. He's really letting the game come to him."
The Lakers are still in that adjustment period, when everyone is overly polite to everybody else, until you really get to know them. In about a month we will see if Gatsby, Kobe and company can take advantage of the fast-break game they have been given.

Discover the fascination of Monterrey Mexico
Also called the richest city in Mexico, Monterrey is the third largest city in the country and it is essentially Mexico's home of business and industry. Though Monterrey is reputed to be the most important production and trade center in the country, it is also an unexpectedly diverse tourist destination.
As you make your way around Monterrey, you will find that it is well planned and easy to navigate. The people are friendly and helpful and generally quite educated. Being a large city, Monterrey offers all the conveniences of city life - fine dining, a great shopping experience, a number of museums and many cultural attractions. Just beyond the city, you will find a wealth of mountains, canyons and deserts - places where you can enjoy activities such as mounting biking, hiking and cave exploration. However you should be warned; Monterrey is not nicknamed the city of mountains for nothing!
Though you might consider Monterrey a less appealing tourist destination that other Mexican cities, there is really no reason to feel this way. There is so much to see and do that you will find a trip to Monterrey just as enjoyable as a trip to any other place. But what might one expect to enjoy here?
Well, you could start by visiting the Macro Plaza where you will find the Tower of Commerce - the highest monument in Mexico. A beam of red light generally circles the city each night, which often results in some spectacular lighting displays. The tower is the perfect place to start a stroll of the beautiful city center. Along the way you will find benches, fountains, museums and even a cathedral. The Paseo Santa Lucia is a great place to visit - a place to relax, be entertained and generally enjoy yourself. Another way to explore the area is to hire a horse drawn carriage or to take an old fashioned trolley tour. Each method is wonderfully rewarding.
Besides the city center, you could try the city theatre, the fountain of life, the local zoo or even the Monterrey Grand Prix. There are so many attractions in this city that you will not run out of things to see and do. Why not give Monterrey a chance? It's a whole new world of holiday entertainment.

I couldn't hewp it! >////<' *blushes*
Since it's summer time I've been to the sauna like every other day so I had to draw something sauna related. :v
Source: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14308284/
Yes i can agree this is not the right way that you should wear a towel so it look like that you are wearing a cloth diaper. But it make you look weary cute and i bet the reason is that you wear your towel like this Rex is because you dont feel safe whiteout your diaper. And a disposable diaper is not a good thing to where in a sauna. So i think you make a good choice any way and it make you look so super cute. I bet you receive allot of hugs in that sauna if someone find out what a cute boy they can find in there.

Men telling female strangers to smile
I only recently realised that this was a thing. Thinking back I guess I'm aware of it but I thought it had died out long ago.
My daughter who is 15 has now experienced it. I told her about a tweet I read where a girl replied by pushing up the corners of her mouth with her middle fingers. She approved.
These blokes presumably don't know they're being aggravating arseholes. How do we let them know?
i get it about five times a day at work. and out and about.
dunno if it's my fibro or arthritis or tmj (probably tmj) but it physically hurts to do proper put on smiles
no way am i doing that for five hours straight, fuck off.

Jesus, five times a day.
You shouldn't be required to smile anyway.
No stranger has ever asked me to smile.
"it takes 6 muscles to smile and 638 to frown!"
fuck off mate, I've just relaxed all my face muscles so this is just my default face.
Few things I hate more than this.
My Mum once had someone give it the old `cheer up sweetheart, it might never happen!` line... whilst she was making a quick visit to the shops on the morning of her 8 year old daughter's funeral. Nice.magnificent_work this'd this

I mean obviously the guy meant no harm, but you really, really don't know why someone might be looking a bit sad at any given time so... aggressively telling someone to cheer up in some cases can be deeply upsetting. It's easily avoided by just letting people go about their business. Easy.
I heard some story about a colleague jumping on the first flight across to the US because her mum had tragically died in a car accident - and getting some clown on the plane giving her the 'cheer up love' treatment.
Yep. Happens.
I mean my Mum just brushed it off she said (she has the skin of a rhino) but you say that to the wrong person and... could be deeply upsetting.
The only random stranger who has ever told me to smile was female
but the feminist pigs in Whitehall will have you believe only they suffer. I demand justice/a parade/more fit darlings smile

As someone with a default grumpy expression I can confirm
that this happens to men as well. Mainly from old ladies. And not so much in London because everyone's miserable here.

They don't know why i'm miserable!! (and this is just my face fuck off)hedgehog this'd this
I was in this grim dive-type bar in Brighton a few years back
for a Wolves in the Throne Room gig. Asked the bartender for a pint - she was dressed head to toe in black, wearing black eyeliner and lipstick. Upon handing me the pint she told me to "cheer up".
The sheer absurdity of the situation did actually cheer me up, for a bit.
Literally never had this in my life
or heard it. Probably all need to brighten the fuck up

random thoughts on whatever I damn well feel like writing about.
Labels: daily show, geek bliss, microsoft, pr
This CAN'T be MS marketing. Even if Microsoft's marketing never had much going for it, it at least had a point. I feel like my IQ's dropped about 40 points since I started on that site, and I'm still not really sure why I did.
But it's GOT to be MS marketing. Why else would Dmitri do it if he weren't being paid? And why would Windows Vista be advertised in the lower left corner of the site? You're right, it isn't intellectually stimulating, but perhaps you aren't their target audience? Anyway, the MS commercials with office workers in cubicles acting like athletes and dumping a cooler of gatorade on another office worker weren't any better. Those ads were so stupid...
The best MS ad I've seen was for Visual Studio and targeted at the SciFi Battlestar Galactica audience. "Cylons. Why debugging matters."

|Manganese dioxide reduction kinetics by Geobacter sulfurreducens and associated biofilm morphology in a flow-through reactor

Geobacter sulfurreducens
|In natural aquatic environments such as streams, lakes, and groundwater, microorganisms play an important role in the cycling of metals. Dissimilatory metal reducing bacteria (DMRBs) are a specific type of bacteria that convert metals to lower redox states through oxidation and reduction reactions. They utilize more metal than is needed for biosynthesis because they can conserve energy through the reduction of metals. This ability of DMRBs permits them to influence nutrient cycling in marine and lacustrine environments and control the bioremediation of sediments and waters contaminated with metals. Because of their widespread occurrence and impact on the environment, many kinetic models have been developed to evaluate fate and transport of metals in the presence of DMRBs. These models use various parameters to describe the reduction kinetics of DMRB and oftentimes rely on using parameters that are determined in batch systems. Batch systems do not adequately account for the variation that may exist in kinetic parameters. They are unable to estimate how environmental conditions present in a flow-through system could impact the reduction efficiency of DMRBs. Some of these changes can be accounted for by incorporating more terms into the models, but others are still unable to be quantified in this manner. By exploring how these parameters change under different flow conditions and which ones are impacted the most, we can determine where more work is needed to identify the actual mechanisms that cause differences in parameters. Additionally, batch systems are less useful for estimating kinetic parameters when DMRBs are reducing a solid substrate. This is because estimates of biomass in a biofilm on a solid surface are more difficult to obtain than measuring the cells in solution when a soluble phase substrate is utilized in a batch system. In this study, a flow through system with a solid phase electron acceptor is used to quantify important kinetic parameters at different flow rates. The biomass is estimated using a unique approach that involves coating sections of the reactor with the solid phase electron acceptor and removing these sections intermittently over the course of the experiment to evaluate both total biomass and biofilm morphology. We chose to explore the biofilm morphology throughout each experiment and at different flow rates in hopes of correlating morphology trends to reduction kinetics. A relationship between morphology and reduction kinetics could help explain differences in the parameters estimated from the experiments. This study evaluated the reduction kinetics of manganese dioxide using Geobacter sulfurreducens, an extensively studied DMRB, with acetate as the electron donor. At low flow rates, a yield of 3.44x1010 ± 2.54x1010 cells/mmol MnO2 was calculated and a maximum specific growth rate of 0.02 1/hr was estimated. The half saturation constant was fit with the model and determined to be 0.04 mmol MnO2 for the low flow rate. When the experiment was conducted at higher flow rates, the half saturation constant was determined to be 0.01 mmol MnO2, which indicates more efficient microorganisms. These findings show that higher flow rates, within the range evaluated in this study, may contribute to lower half saturation constants. The difference in half saturation constants may be related to changes in biofilm morphology, but more work needs to be done to conclusively make this comparison.

No toy could top the gift Santa delivered to three young boys in the US this Christmas season – adoption papers.
Dylan, 7, Levi, 6, and four-year-old Cooper from Idaho were officially adopted by their foster family a week before Christmas, after they were taken in by the family last year.
"Dylan Maximus Smith is officially adopted by the Smith family," Santa proclaimed during a special visit to the boy's home.
Jessica Smith, her husband Robert and their nine children opened their home to the boys in January 2014.
"We took them on a temporary basis until she [their mother] could get on her feet and that just didn't happen," Mrs Smith told Fox 13.
The boys were discovered in poor health after growing up in a neglectful home in Arizona.
Seven-year-old Dylan hadn't been attending school and Cooper, 4, was thought to have multiple disabilities because he didn't talk.
"They had some medical issues that we needed to address, Levi for instance had 17 cavities he had to get corrected the first couple weeks he had been home," she said.
But all children have made great strides since joining their new family.
"The following Monday we immediately had him [Dylan] in kindergarten and by the end of the year he was caught up with a full school year worth in just three of four short months."
"We felt it was sort of our obligation to make sure these guys didn't go back to that type of environment," Mrs Smith said.

Plan B
14 comments:
- Rick Watson said...
Some day plan B is what your spirit needs. We've owned all kinds of dogs here. There are a lot of Pit Bulls. Several of the throw aways were mixed with pits, bit none of ours were mean dogs.
I could not take Jilda to a shelter, I'm afraid we'd come home with a carload of dogs. You'll find the one for you.
It's still beautiful up there. We've had so much rain here, I'm afraid the peak foliage color has passed.

Sorry that Plan A was scraped but Plan B seems to go perfectly.
Your trees are still spectacular. Most of our trees are bare but there are still some with yellow and brown leaves on the streets.
When the right puppy comes along for you, it will be magic.
Have a nice week.

I think Plan B turned out to be a pretty darn good day!! Looked like a lot of fun :)
I too agree about shelter animals; so sad to go and visit there. I know you'll find the right dog when the time is right :)

Hi, YaYa! This is a Saturday post and I swear to you it just now appeared in my reader! Forgive me for being late, dear friend. Sometimes in football a "busted play" turns out surprisingly well. That's what happened when you switched to Plan B. (Mrs. Shady and I got so tired of getting stuck in gridlock on the interstate that we recently hunted for and found a delightful scenic route that takes only a few minutes longer and practically assures that you keep moving. In fact, mile after mile, we had the whole highway to ourselves. All the other cars were bumper to bumper on the interstate! :) Hello again to mutual friend Donna! I can't help thinking that friendly cat you encountered was channeling the spirit of Squeak. Shortly after Toto died, Mrs. Shady and I drove to Naples to clear our heads. In an art gallery, a little old dog that belongs to the shop owner spotted me from across the room and immediately came running to me, wanting affection. I couldn't help believing it was the spirit of Toto reaching out to me. It would be so nice of you and Jack to open your door and your hearts to a dog and give it a forever home at the Pines. I'm sure Eddy would like to have a canine companion to romp around with. The Creepy Woods certainly do look as though they are ablaze. What a beautiful sight!
Thank you, dear friend YaYa, and have a great week!

If you can't get that sweet Opie, then I hope y'all can get one equally as sweet!

I hope Opie got to go with with that little boy's family! You were so kind to step back and give another family the chance to get to know him. Such a cute name-Opie! Your woods looks so pretty! It's pretty neat how your woods looks so different depending on the season.
My best friend growing up was Mormon (still is!) and every once in awhile she would take me to youth night...I don't remember what it was called...but I sure liked going to Bonnie's church. It was in Lexington. I don't remember there being a lot of Mormon families in our area....do you know Cheryl and Jay Parr? Such a nice family.

The Pines looks beautiful in your pictures this week. The creepy woods are just waiting to be sniffed and peed on by a new dog. I hope you find the right one for you soon. And I agree with others that pit bulls have a really bad rap and can be very, very sweet dogs.

Plan B works out well sometimes. That barn is beautiful. The floor is so shiny you could almost see your face in it. I like the house on stilts and that is a cute pic of you, by he way. Now about the dog. Do you still have Eddie? Looking for a friend? The mix lab dach sound really cute. I feel so bad for those animals without homes. It is heartbreaking. Hopefully, you will find just the right one soon. I love dogs, but there is still a fear in me about some dogs, so a pit bull would be out of the question for me. Your pictures of your place are gorgeous.

It stinks to get so stuck in traffic but nice to you got together with Donna. And it is good to see her. The problem with pit bulls is your home owners insurance goes crazy. they do not want to insure your home if there is one on the property.

Bummer you couldn't go to the temple! You sure did try, though. The art gallery looks awesome. Is that in Ashland? The tree pictures are beautiful. On the way home from church yesterday, I noticed that all our leaves were gone, too. When did that happen!? I can not go to the dog pound! It just kills me and I leave in tears. Both of our two dogs are pound puppies, though. Going with a pound puppy is the way to go!

Each network interface on your computer or any other networked device has a unique MAC address. These MAC addresses are assigned in the factory, but you can change, or "spoof," MAC addresses in software.
MAC stands for "media access control." MAC addresses are also commonly referred to as physical addresses or hardware addresses, because they correspond to a hardware adapter.
What MAC Addresses Are Used For?
Bear in mind that each network interface has its own MAC address. So, on a typical laptop with both a Wi-Fi radio and a wired Ethernet port, the wireless and wired network interface each have unique, separate MAC addresses.
Most network cards will allow you to set a custom MAC address from their configuration panes in the Device Manager, although some network drivers may not support this feature.
First, open the Device Manager. On Windows 8.1, press Windows Key + X and click Device Manager. On Windows 7, press the Windows key, type "Device Manager" to search for it, and click Device Manager.
Locate the network interface you want to modify under Network Adapters, right-click it, and select Properties.
Click the Advanced tab and select Network Address in the list. Your network driver doesn't support this feature if the option isn't here.
Enable the Value option and enter your desired MAC address without any separating characters — don't use dashes or colons. Click OK afterward.
Modern Linux distributions like Ubuntu typically use Network Manager, which provides a graphical way to spoof a MAC address.
For example, on Ubuntu you'd click the network icon on the top panel, click Edit Connections, select the network connection you want to modify, and click Edit. On the Ethernet tab, you'd enter a new MAC address under "Cloned MAC address" and save your changes.
You can also do this the old-fashioned way. This involves taking the network interface down, running a command to change its MAC address, and then bringing it back up. Be sure to replace "eth0″ with the name of the network interface you want to modify and enter the MAC address of your choice:
sudo ifconfig eth0 down
sudo ifconfig eth0 hw ether xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
sudo ifconfig eth0 up
You'll have to modify the appropriate configuration file under /etc/network/interfaces.d/ or the /etc/network/interfaces file itself if you want this change to always take effect at boot time. If you don't, your MAC address will be reset when you restart.
Mac OS X
Mac OS X's System Preferences pane displays each network interface's MAC address, but doesn't allow you to change it. You can do so with a single command.
Open a Terminal window (press Command + Space, type Terminal, and press Enter.) Run the following command, replacing en0 with the network interface's name and filling in your own MAC address:
sudo ifconfig en0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
The network interface will generally be either en0 or en1, depending on whether you want to configure a Mac's Wi-Fi or Ethernet interface. Run the ifconfig command to see a list of interfaces if you're not sure of the appropriate network interface's name.
As on Linux, this change is temporary and will be reset when you next reboot. You'll need to use a script that automatically runs this command on boot if you'd like to permanently change your Mac address.
You can verify your change took effect by running a command that shows your network connection details and checking what MAC address your network interface reports afterwards. On Windows, run the ipconfig /all command in a Command Prompt window. On Linux or Mac OS X, run the ifconfig command.
If you need to change the MAC address on your router, you'll find this option in your router's web interface.

Sri Lankans will be able to witness a Meteor Shower (උල්කාපාත වැස්ස) between October 22 night and October 23 morning.
(Night 10.30pm between 22 October and 5.30am 23 October)
Prof Chandana Jayaratne in the Physical Sciences Division at Colombo University, said that this a rare occurrence. Professor Jayaratne said the Sri Lankans will be able to witness the meteor shower during the night. The professor further said the meteor shower can be seen with the naked eye.
In 2017, the Orionid meteor shower will be visible from October 2 to November 7. The shower is expected to peak on the night of October 20 and early morning of October 23.
When Can I See the Orionids?
Orionids tend to be active every year in the month of October, usually peaking around October 20-23. At its peak, up to 20 meteors are visible every hour.
The best time to view the Orionids is just after midnight and right before dawn.
Dust From Halley's Comet
The Orionid meteor shower is 1 of 2 meteor showers created by debris from Comet Halley. The Eta Aquarids in May is the second meteor shower created by debris left by Comet Halley.
Halley takes around 76 years to make a complete revolution around the Sun. It will next be visible from Earth in 2061.
Where Can I See the Orionids?
It's called Orionids because the meteors seem to emerge or radiate from the constellation Orion.
A First Quarter Moon will make this meteor shower easy to see in both the Northern and Southern Hemisphere. While you can easily see a shooting star looking straight up, the table below shows the exact direction of the Orionids from your location.

Family firm East End Foods is sponsoring a Birmingham Post Business Award at the end of the year which has seen it defy economic gloom by investing in one of the largest privately-funded developments in the region.
Midland firm East End Foods, which is currently redeveloping the former HP Factory site in Aston Cross, is sponsoring the hospitality category in this year's awards.
The scheme will also see a 100,000 sq ft cash and carry, a hotel and a conference centre built, as well as a 30,000 sq ft urban farm and technology centre built,
The first phase, which is nearing completion, will see 90 jobs created with a £10.5 million investment in a state-of-the-art trade-only cash and carry.
And it is fitting that the company is sponsoring the hospitality sector with phase two on the horizon, which will see a further £25 million investment in creating the hotel and banqueting part of the development.
The second phase is expected to create a further 200 plus jobs in the city
East End Foods was established more than four decades ago and has grown into one of the UK's leading spice, lentil and rice specialist consisting of a 1,250 lines containing rice, flour, beans, lentils, nuts and much more.
It has grown to turn over in excess of £125 million on the back of the philosophy adopted by its founders, the Wouhra brothers, who spotted a gap in the food market after seeing a growing demand in the 1950s and lack of availability of ethnic food products and never looked back.
Tony Deep Wouhra, the founder of the family business, said it has profited from focusing on quality, purity and value.
He said: "As a company our quality sets us apart, we have set precedents in the need to supply clean and safe products to the market.
"Setting these standards in the early days helped guide us to delivering superior products to the customers, developing a loyal customer following.
"The constant strive for purity and a value for money product has led to constant reinvestment in plant machinery, producing vigorous cleaning processes for all our products."
The firm has four sites across Birmingham, including a head office in West Bromwich, which was purchased in 2002 and serves as its main distribution and processing centre. From there it supplies to all of the country's major supermarkets.
The company has made significant progress in reenergising the tired landscape of the discarded HP Sauce Factory in the past year.
The flagship store is nearing completion and is due to open in late 2011 and the new state of the art cash and carry will incorporate an urban farm – the first of its kind in the Midlands.
Mr Wouhra added: "The urban food farm is for visitors to come and see food growing.
"The purpose of which is to show how easy it is to grow food in an urban environment, educating the public on sustainability. The urban farm uses renewable energy as much as possible; using waste from the cash and carry to go into a biomass heater in the urban farm.
"As well as harvesting rain water to be used on the crops.
"Phase two of the re development of the HP site will see the creation of a 15-storey four-star luxury hotel and 1,200-person capacity conference centre, spanning a further £25 million worth of investment. This in turn will create further 200 jobs in the local area."
East End Foods is active in an ever growing European market which currently accounts for 10 per cent of turnover.
Mr Wouhra added: "The company has been able to initiate growth consistently in the last decade from using innovation to battle the market adversity.
"From the outset of the first generation we found it important to view this as the way forward. Innovation is something that is at the heart of East End Foods constantly researching ground breaking ways to improve our products, our areas of business and our revenue."
