When implemented properly link exchanges can boost popularity rankings, helping websites achieve top positions in search engine results. GetSEObot has a large directory of relevant websites you can automatically exchange links with. You only trade links with sites in the same category, making sure than each exchange is relevant.
Link exchanges is deemed the "poor man's SEO" because they are traditionally done for free. All you need to do is trade links with other webmasters whose websites have similar interests as yours. Doing that lets search engines like Google see that you are worthy of higher rankings, so you get higher traffic. But because many websites are doing link exchanges, do they still work?
The answer is "YES," but you need to make sure you are exchanging links correctly. Google advises webmasters to have relevant and unique content so that other websites naturally link to them. However, that sounds easier said than done, especially if you are a new business trying to sell your service or product over the internet. To build a solid base, you can enlist the help of GetSEObot and use its revolutionary Web 2.0 plug-in called, "WEB WORKS". It automatically lets you connect it with other websites that are relevant to your content.
Some companies turn to paid link exchanges thinking that they can get better results that way, but in the end, it all depends on the quality of the service and the SEO practices. A good SEO company combines traditional SEO practices with link exchange methods. Here at GetSEObot, you can get 5 free keywords when you sign up for our automated and relevant one-way and reciprocal link exchange platform. A free account also comes with twice-a-month reports on your rankings along with great tools like keyword content manager and website monitoring.

Uncorking Sunday liquor sales
For the first time since the start of Prohibition, alcohol sales at liquor stores are legal on Sundays.
On July 1, Minnesota joined 38 other states and the District of Columbia that now allow some form of Sunday retail liquor sales.
But local liquor owners are not necessarily crazy about the idea of being able to open their stores yet another day.
Blooming Prairie's 218 Liquor has joined liquor stores across the state in offering wine, beer and spirits on Sundays. The store was open on July 2, the first day allowed by state law for Sunday liquor sales. The city's other off-sale liquor establishment, J&H Liquors on Main Street, was also open for the first weekend, but does not plan to do so on a regular basis.
"It definitely wasn't beneficial," said Nancy Farr, owner of J&H Liquors. She said the store would be open on Sundays in the future only if it falls on a holiday weekend. Otherwise, J&H plans to keep the Sunday liquor sales corked.
But it was a different story at 218 Liquor, a family owned store, located on the south end of Blooming Prairie on the inaugural Sunday for liquor sales. "It was fabulous," owner Miranda Goff said.
The novelty of buying booze on a Sunday seemed to draw many shoppers to 218 Liquors, but Goff admits forward thinkers stocking up for Independence Day could also have explained the initial rush.
Goff said she plans to have her store open every Sunday through the summer and reassess the situation this fall.
"We're just split on it," Goff said, noting her father, Doug, who started the business in 1994, wants to be open while she isn't real sold on the idea. For now, her father plans to work every Sunday to offer sales on a day that Miranda Goff would like to keep as a family day.
The store will be open during the legal hours of 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. In addition, 218 Liquor is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
"It's not an easy business," Goff said. "You're married to the job."
She is appreciative of having help from her father so she can maintain her family time on Sundays.
Goff says in the long run she doesn't think Sunday sales will make a difference in overall revenue for her store.
Part of the challenge Goff faces is losing customers to other cities like Owatonna and Austin. "We don't want them to go to the other cities," she said, adding that's part of dilemma they face in whether to be open or not on Sundays.
"They're coming because we're convenient and local and we don't want to make it inconvenient for them," Goff said. "We want to maintain our customer base."

Valentine's Day is a romantic time of the year for couples. They spend all week planning a special night out and they buy each other sweet, romantic gifts. But, if you're a married man, chances are you've taken the importance out of the one holiday that still means so much to her. I get it. Michael and I have been married for ten years. Every year our Valentines Day together gets less and less important. We get busier, the kids need us more and we pass off Valentine's Day as a silly, unimportant holiday.
But the truth is, whether you've been married ten or 30 years, you should still make Valentine's Day special for both of you. If you're a married man, here are 14 things you should do for your wife on Valentine's Day.
14 Things Married Men Should do for Their Wives on Valentine's Day
1. Make Her Breakfast in Bed
Breakfast in bed is one of the sweetest gestures a married man can do for his wife, especially if they have kids together. Whenever you make your wife breakfast in bed include all her favorite breakfast foods and don't forget to add a super large cup of hot coffee on the side.
2. Let Her Sleep In
Of course, if you're making her breakfast in bed, you want to be sure to allow adequate time to let her sleep in. Letting her sleep in will finally give her some of the sleep she's been missing and let her feel a little less like a walking zombie.
3. Clean the Dishes
In my house dishes and laundry are the two things that never ends. Fortunately, I would never want my husband taking care of the laundry, so on Valentine's Day help her cross one thing of her list by cleaning the dishes.
4. Get the Kids Ready
Getting kids ready means much more than saying, wake up kids. Getting kids ready is an exhausting task that she does every day and would love a break with. Getting kids ready includes helping to dress, feed, and all other task associated with getting kids ready for school.
5. Send Her a Silly Text that Says, " I Love You"
Remember when you were dating and you couldn't wait to send her a text that said, I love you? Just because you're married doesn't mean those texts have to stop. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to say, I love you, and what better way to do it than with a silly text message. A text message is super simple to send and allows you two to act like you're dating again with simple flirting.
6. Make Dinner
Supper is probably the most stressful meal for her, so offering to make it, will really win some extra bonus points with her. Instead of opting to bring take-out home, surprise her with a delicious, romantic home cooked meal. If you have kids, keep it romantic with a special dessert that you bring out once the kids go to bed.
7. Buy Bubble Bath and Run Her a Hot Relaxing Bath
When you're taking care of a whole household, every day, the last thing you have time for is a nice, hot, relaxing bath. Buy her a big bottle of bubble bath, run her water, and insist she spends the next few hours in the bath, alone – with no interruptions.
8. Bring Her, Her Favorite Midday Coffee
Since she probably already runs on coffee to get through her day, bring her a cup of her favorite midday coffee. A cup of coffee is a small gesture that shows you are thinking of her and it will be greatly appreciated.
9. Check Off that Honey-do List
I know she's probably been nagging you over that unfinished honey-do list, so do yourself and her a favor by finally checking it off. Do those little tasks that she can't do on her own and help her out. Chances are your wife will be grateful and you will be fulfilling your duties as a married man by helping out.
10. Clean Out Her Car
If you're a married man with kids, her car most likely needs some much-needed love. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to pull the car into the garage and clean it out for her. After all, all the sacrifices she makes for her family, she deserves one, nice clean thing.
11. Tell Her How Much You Love Her
It's easy to get caught up in everyday life, that we forget to tell our spouses we love them. Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show that love and remind her how much you still love her. Chances are, she needs to hear those three words more than you say them.
12. Let Her Pick the Movie on TV
For once, let her pick the movie on TV, even if it's a chick-flick. Don't complain, just let your wife have one movie. Just one. She deserves it.
13. Watch the Kids While She Calls Her Mom
The one person your wife probably never calls enough is her mom. So, take the kids and play with them while you give your wife enough time to call her mom without her having to worry about any distractions.
14. Buy Her Something She Needs But Won't Buy for Herself
If you haven't noticed it, your wife is probably the only one in the house who don't buy nice things for herself but doesn't bat an eye at spending $50 on a nice hoodie for the kids. On Valentine's Day, if you want to buy her something she'll love, skip the flowers and buy her something she's been wanting but refuses to buy for herself. A gift like this shows her that her husband still cares about her and took the time to come up with a thoughtful gift for her.
This Valentine's Day you could buy your wife a box of chocolates and roses, but as a married man, you should get her something from this list. (Extra points for doing all of them!)

Intel, world's largest chip producer, shuts down its software development center in Bucharest, active since 2010. The decision follows the restructuring plan of Brian Kraznich, the new CEO, that converts the global strategy from software to hardware activities.

In the context of European financing for projects like BRUA (energetic interconnection between western Europe and Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary, and Austria), the PM suggested that the EU should also support and finance the interconnection between the states in the eastern partnership in order to develop the economic cooperation "so that these countries remain connected to Europe not only on a declaration level", and hopes for Romania to become an "energetic hub."...more »

Here's the first line of an article I came across…
Jim Tressel encouraged 13 of his juniors to ask the NFL where they might be selected in the next draft.
Of course my first thought was along the lines of, "What are you thinking? Have you gone mad?" But as I continued to read through the article, which is an AP article available after the jump, I realized Tressel was simply trying to control the situation. There is no doubt that some of these young men would be entertaining notions of leaving early, and Tressel wants them to understand where they would stand if they decided to enter the upcoming draft. It also seems like he is trying to avoid a repeat of what happened last year, when players might have been distracted by talk of the NFL before the big game. It seems the players themselves realized this could have been a problem last year, and are taking steps to correct it. They have decided as a group not to talk about it until after the game against LSU. Let's hope that's true.
As for Tressel, it makes a lot of sense for him to help his players make this difficult decision. He has invested a lot into their lives for the last three years, and he is always trying to make them better men, not just better football players. Despite what Mo Clarrett said, Jim Tressel does have his players' best interest at heart. I suppose I am more comfortable with our young players getting coached through this process by the Vest than Ted Ginn's dad, like what happened last year. Perhaps Antonio Pittman would have come back for his senior year, instead of bolting for the NFL. He could have been a Heisman finalist this year. Instead, he sits on the Rams' bench. Full Article follows…
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) – Ohio State coach Jim Tressel encouraged 13 of his juniors to ask the NFL where they might be selected in the next draft.
Tressel declined to identify the players Thursday during Ohio State's bowl media day news conference.
"I'm sure you could guess," he said.
Linebackers James Laurinaitis and Marcus Freeman, quarterback Todd Boeckman, defensive lineman Vernon Gholston, cornerback Malcolm Jenkins and wide receivers Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline confirmed they had sent information to the NFL.
The top-ranked Buckeyes (11-1) play No. 2 LSU (11-2) in the BCS national championship game at the Louisiana Superdome on Jan. 7.
NFL rules specify players cannot be drafted until they have been out of high school three years.
College players can complete forms that are submitted to an NFL advisory committee, which estimates where – or in some cases if – a player might be taken in the draft. The player can then elect to remain in college or make himself available for the draft.
"Just talking with coach Tressel and a lot of the other coaches, they just said that by you doing this it's not going to take away from anything," said Robiskie, whose father played and coached in the NFL and is now an assistant with the Cleveland Browns. "You're not making any major decisions. All you're getting is some feedback."
The large number of underclassmen contemplating the NFL comes a year after Ohio State lost three top offensive players who gave up their final year of eligibility. Wide receivers Ted Ginn Jr. and Anthony Gonzalez were taken in the first round of the draft, and running back Antonio Pittman went in the fourth round.
Several Buckeyes have said that all the talk about the NFL, agents, draft prospects and money were major distractions to the team heading into last year's BCS title game. Florida beat Ohio State 41-14 in that game.
"Last year there were a lot of distractions with some of the guys who were already seniors leaving, with agents and different things," Laurinaitis said. "LSU's a big enough task for us."
Jenkins said several players met to discuss avoiding draft talk.
"We took it upon ourselves to say, 'Look, we're not going to think about this, we're not going to talk about it until the time comes.' And that's after the game," Jenkins said. "We're just going to focus on this game right now."
Laurinaitis, a two-time All-American and an almost first-round pick, has said several times during the season he will return for his senior season. He said his decision to file the paperwork does not mean he's changed his mind.
"I'm just finding out what the NFL's going to say about where I stand," he said. "I'm definitely confident coming back with this team. I love Ohio State, I love it here and I'm having a good time."
Twenty-five Ohio State players have left school early for the NFL draft since 1992, including Terry Glenn, Shawn Springs, Orlando Pace, Nate Clements and Chris Gamble.
"All of us, our goal is ultimately to play in the NFL," Gholston said.
"I hope (the evaluation) is as high as it can be. You never want to hear negative stuff. But if it is some negative stuff, it'd just be a situation where I'd just need to practice and work even harder."
Ohio State will work out at its indoor practice facility until the Dec. 19, then be off until Dec. 26. The Buckeyes will practice daily until flying to New Orleans on Jan. 2.

A disturbing story about a young woman in Norfolk who wrote the following on Twitter last week about hitting a cyclist on the road:
Apart from being an unpleasant sentiment, it's an astonishingly thing to post on a public forum. And, as a result, the cyclist has now been found and Norwich Police have become involved, contacting the driver:
Apparently the cyclist was actually hit - he was taking part in a sportive at the time - although fortunately he (and his bike) are fine.
The second thing the story points up is something that a number of motorists throw at cyclists - that we don't have an equal right to be on the road as we don't pay Road Tax, as they do.
As ipayroadtax.com entertainingly - and quite rightly - points out, 'Road Tax' doesn't exist and it hasn't since 1937. What drivers pay is Car Tax - or, more formally, Vehicle Excise Duty - and motorists do not pay directly for the upkeep of the roads, which actually comes from general and local taxation.
Like most cyclists I drive too and pay Car Tax. Of course, if cyclists were required to pay VED, we would be zero-rated as it is based on carbon emissions!

Lovely Video About A Passionate Cycle Collector
This is such a lovely little film about a wonderfully passionate bicycle obsessive, James Macdonald - 'The Spokesman' - who collects and restores unloved bikes in his native Australia as a 'time capsule' for future generations.
The film, made by Dean Saffron - a photographer based in Brisbane, Australia - is an absolute joy!

In many industries, there is need for testing various properties of end products as well as materials to ensure that only the best quality products reach the customers. One of the major effects that products have to bear is the environmental effects. For assessment of these effects on the properties of the products, various tests instruments are used and humidity test chamber is one of them.
The humidity test chamber test effects of many different factors on the products such as vibration, moisture, temperature, altitude etc. The lab testing instrument can easily reproduce the quick temperatures change rates, humid conditions that are required for analysis of the effects of environmental factors on the properties of the products. This test helps in assessing the change in the properties of products like plastics, rubber, electronics, automobile etc. The principle of testing that is used in this testing equipment is accelerated environment testing. The chamber has the best level of ease and performance.
The humidity test chamber is designed and manufactured using a state of the art technology and the best quality raw materials which helps in maintaining the specified temperature and moisture level easily. The level of the temperature and humidity are easily controllable by the users with the help of a front control panel. There is a high class insulation of glass wool provided with the equipment which ensures that no heat is escaped from the chamber and the heat loss ratio is kept to the minimum.
The circulation of the air within the chamber is kept continuous and constant for best and most accurate test results. One can monitor this through the transparent glass for comparison of the points set and make necessary changes if needed. Heating is efficiently performed by electric heaters that are designed for automatic on and off function for best temperature regulation. A low pressure vapor generator is used for generating humidity and the vapors are injected inside the chamber with the help of an orifice. There is also an exhaust system provided with the chamber which helps in maintaining an ambient temperature in the chamber.
- The equipment is provided with a high quality digital controller which is used for measurement of temperature and humidity in a controlled and precise manner.
- Very powerful and heavy compressors are used to provide rapid variations in temperature inside the chamber.
- It is very helpful in reduction of test cycle duration.
- A humidity sensor is fitted within the chamber to obtain best and accurate results.
- For ergonomic and easy operation, touch sensitive controls are given on the chamber.
- Very low maintenance cost is involved with the test equipment.
- Stainless steel is used for manufacturing of the inner body whereas the outer body of the chamber is fabricated from mild steel which is powder coated.
- The lab testing instrument comes with an inner dimension of 18" x 18" x 2 8". Other sizes are also available on request of customers.

Posted: Nov 06, 2007 – 11:01 PM EST
Nov. 06 /CSRwire/ - CHICAGO, IL - November 7, 2007 - Internationally-acclaimed health and wellness pioneer Nancy Lee Bentley will be in Chicago, November 14th- 20th to introduce her newest book, "Truly Cultured: Rejuvenating Taste, Health and Community with Naturally Fermented Foods."
Take it from the expert: Bacteria never looked so good.
Bentley shows all of us how to "Eat our way back to good health, sense, and enjoyment!" using the ancient practice of natural fermentation and culturing. The book explains how the bacteria we swear daily we're going to wipe out are actually the secret missing key to our physical and environmental health. Astonishingly, they are also responsible for creating our favorite foods, such as chocolate, cheese and coffee.
Truly Cultured is a delicious and nutritious feast of recipes, quips, quotes, quizzes, history, anecdotes, puns, myths, food science, facts and figures, secrets, insights, how-to tips, tidbits and unabashed, call-it-like-it-is power truths that help readers understand how important live, cultured, fermented foods are to our health and our communities. "I'm on a mission to wake up Americans from our nightmare of over-processed, impotent, chemically-laden foods that leave us overweight and undernourished," says Nancy Lee with characteristic enthusiasm.
Although many people will pick up Truly Cultured just for its scrumptious recipes, the book is much more. Bentley hopes it will change the way we think about food, life and how this impacts the world. Her "Hello, hasn't anyone else seen what's going on?" approach will have you laughing one minute, then groaning and crying the next.
She digests and distills the full scope of the subject down to the troubling mysteries of the inner and outer enigmas of our time, ranging from ADHD, GERD, and other obscure alphabet soup conditions, to obesity, antibiotic and pesticide resistance, and just plain global "out of whackism." Then she provides obvious logical conclusions and simple ecological solutions for extracting ourselves from our planetary mess.
Wholistic Health Expert Nancy Lee Bentley is well-known for connecting the burgeoning healthy and gourmet organic foods industry with the environmental movement and the spiritual revolution. She tirelessly promotes traditionally cultured foods and holistic lifestyles to support optimum nutrition and sustainable communities. Truly Cultured is destined to become the bread and butter (cultured, of course) standard for a new paradigm palate.
More about Nancy Lee Bentley:

About Mallorca Distillery
Mallorca Distillery is a small craft distillery located in Palma creating premium artisan spirits made exclusively from organic and foraged ingredients sourced around the island.
The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Byron and Amber, both from Newcastle, England, who work with master distiller James Gibbons who oversees each process in the production to ensure the highest quality with every distillation from a Spanish handcrafted copper still.
Local production and botanicals
Mallorca Distillery spent more than half a year perfecting their first release in 2018, Palma Gin, which has already earned itself positive reviews for its smoothness, delicate floral scent and combination of island botanicals.
Only local, natural and organic ingredients are used in its production, ranging from coriander seeds and cardamom pods to liquorice root and tomato stalks. Locally foraged botanicals also include wild lavender, almond blossom – collected once a year just before spring – and juniper berries foraged from specially authorised places in the island's forests.
Even the mosaic patterns on the distinctive bottle were inspired by renowned Campos-based ceramics company, Huguet, and printed with organic paint. The company logo also takes inspiration from the west-facing rose window in La Seu cathedral.
Visit the distillery
Located in Palma's Son Castelló neighbourhood, Mallorca Distillery is open to the public. Distillery tours include a brief history of gin, the processes behind making it, and of course tastings. Make-your-own-gin classes are also available, which involves producing and bottling your very own Mallorcan Gin to take home, plus you can book cocktail masterclasses and corporate events.
A limited edition oak-aged Winter Gin is also on offer, adding warming notes of cinnamon, and recently launched is their Palma Vodka which uses local Flor de Sal Salt to create the Vodka's unique taste.

Engagement Shoot
I just spotted this engagement pic. session on our photographer's blog that I loyally stalk. It was shot at Sony Pictures Studios - talk about having an awesome and original location! I think this spot takes the prize and how lucky were they to shoot there? A unique, dream backdrop + Jason Q. Tran skills = *magic* Brace yourself for some stunning amazingness
So 'old hollywood' and crisp and a little reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde no?
I spy an Anthropologie dress!
I'm a firm believer that goofy photos with some personality are a must

I am thankful to have been born when I was. Not only because had I been born in another era I wouldn't have met CSP & all my friends etc, but because of modern day luxuries. God bless those people who lived in pioneer days and even before. I wouldn't have done well with no deodorant, hair product, mascara, lip gloss, moisturizer, you get the picture. Not to mention medical advancements. I surely would have died in my early thirties had I been born 100 years ago! When my fallopian tube twisted and became engorged it got the doctors excited at the hospital- and that was in the mid 2000s! They surely wouldn't have known what to do with me in the 1800s! And that was just the start of my surgical adventures!

Day 17 of 30 Days of Thanks- Humor
I am thankful I have a good sense of humor. I can find the humor in most anything and I can laugh at myself. I've met plenty of people who just seem miserable, with no discernible sense of humor. Life is just more fun if you laugh every day!
Things I am truly BAD at
There are some things I just can not do. Or, at least can not do well.
- Sing. Sure, I can physically sing a song, but it won't be in any key you've ever heard, although your dog might join in.
- Dance. I have no rhythm. None. Even when I've had a couple grown up drinks and think I do? I do not.
- Back up in a car. Just ask my recycle bins, shrubbery, and neighborhood children.
- Cut things. I can not chop, slice, dice, or Julienne. I mean I can do it, but my knife skills rival that of a blind 2 year old. Once at my birthday dinner my MIL wanted me to cut the cake, which was a beautiful cheesecake she made from scratch. I made one erratic, sloppy slice that took considerable effort on my part (and I thought looked pretty good for me) and my MIL quickly gathered everything up and ran back to the kitchen to cut the cake herself.
- Stay still. I'm a fidgeter. I have tons of nervous energy. I just can't be still. Waiting in a line quietly is full on TORTURE.
- Watch a movie without saying a word, laughing out loud, crying out loud, or screaming. I can't help myself, I get into movies. Don't believe me? Ask my sisters why they fight about who HAS to sit next to me, not who GETS to.
Specs & Bangs
Last summer I was outfitted with glasses. I'm still not used to them! I forget they're on all the time. I try to scratch my eye and poke myself right in the glasses. I can't tell you how often I've gotten in the shower with them on and it's very awkward when I try to put my CPAP mask on my head and my glasses are in the way! I do like the way they help me see though. I only have to wear them for task related things but isn't everything you do a task? In an unrelated note, I'm back to wearing bangs. I asked CSP if he liked me better with or without bangs and he said "Oh God WITH!" Okaaaay…who knew for the last 8 or so years I've been running around with no bangs that he's been secretly wishing and hoping for some hair to cover my five-head?
The heat must bring out the rude in people
I may be the only person in the Carolinas who's not looking forward to Summer. I sometimes wish we lived in Canada or Alaska so it would stay cool all year. Mainly because I don't like wearing shorter sleeves. Not because of the sleeves themselves, but the people. Recently I was out and about and ran into a woman I've met maybe 3 times. I was wearing a shirt with 3/4 length sleeves. Actually it was the Penelope shirt! The woman looked at me and instead of the normal Hello greeting she said "Girl, what the hell is going on with your arms???" I was mortified. I have severe eczema and it really affects my forearms. I don't know why I don't have it on places no one can see. I'm used to people looking at me funny, esp at drive thrus or other places where I'm exchanging money for goods. People look at my arms like I've been a victim of an acid attack. And frankly, that is what it looks like. During the winter (when I get to wear long sleeves, natch) my eczema is better. When it starts to get warm out the heat flares it up and the patches look really red and angry. But that DOES NOT give anyone the right to embarrass me like that! And in front of people! I would never look back at her and say anything like "Girl, what is UP with your hair?"
If you are unfamiliar with eczema and what it looks like, my arms look very similar to this: It's not fun. Luckily I have pretty good self esteem and a husband who thinks I'm beautiful even with my spots. Now, before you start listing all the "cures" for eczema, please know that while I appreciate it, I've heard – and tried- them all before. I've been dealing with this for 20 years. I've tried every bath, cream, pill, spray, balm that you could think of. Bottom line is that there is no cure, only temporary remedies. Just do me this favor- please teach your children to not stare. That eczema and psoriasis and the like are not contagious. That unwanted comments are just that- unwanted. That the only license you could have to make comments would be a medical license. And if you weren't aware of this, now you know. I really don't want to go through another summer having to educate the ignorant in how to be polite.
5 minutes with myself 10 years ago
The Daily Post offers up topics about which to write when you're looking for inspiration for your daily blog posts. One struck my fancy a few days ago.
If you could go back in time and have a 5 minute conversation with yourself ten years ago, what would you say?
- Hire a videographer for the wedding. I know you think you can't afford it but you'll regret it years from now that you didn't.
- Push that piece of hair out of your face. It's caught on your eyebrow and drives you nuts every time you look at your wedding pictures.
- Tuck some lip gloss in your bra. You get a little stressed at the reception because you can't find any.
- Take that wedding gift money and buy stock in Apple. They are going to invent the iPod and it's going to change the way the world listens to music.
- In a few years you're going to be tempted to build a house by CP Morgan. RUN from this company. They are the devil and will cause you nothing but stress.
- One day you're going to meet a girl who you think will be a great friend. She's not. Don't waste your time investing in this friendship.
- Take some more of that wedding money and buy into the Walt Disney Vacation Club. You're going to fall in love with their cruise ships and the club will save you money.
- Spend a little extra time over the next year with Jade and Melissa. They will both pass away at a young age.
- Moisturize. Moisturize even when you think you've moisturized plenty.
- Wear SPF at all times.
- When you're selling the house in Fort Mill, don't run through the kitchen. There's water on the floor and you slip causing you to tear your meniscus. This results in surgery. Might as well avoid it!
- Don't color your hair with box color at home. You end up with hooker hair.
- When you're in Las Vegas next week on your honeymoon, get up a little earlier on your planned Grand Canyon day. It's a heck of a lot farther away than you thought!
- Don't spend even one second being nervous. Soak in every second of this week's wedding activities and next week's honeymoon. You're marrying the best man you've ever known. He'll make you happy forever. The best thing you've ever done was saying yes.
On Jimmy Fallon the other night they talked about the worst date you've ever been on via hash tags on Twitter. He received some hilarious responses. Got me thinking about some of my terrible dates. I kissed a LOT of frogs before I found CSP!
- One guy took me to dinner at Olive Garden then to a movie. He kept burping up his dinner all throughout the movie. Stunk SO bad! I had to go out for air so I wouldn't throw up!
- One guy told me we were going out for Mexican for dinner on our first date. He took me to Taco Bell.
- Another guy used a coupon for dinner, stopped at a vending machine and told me I'd better get my movie beverage and snacks at the machine, then I had to pay for my own movie. I'm all for being frugal but come on!
- The same guy (I can't believe I gave him another chance!) and I went to a friend's house for a barbeque. Before we all sat down to eat Mr. CheapSkate made himself a sandwich to go, put it in a ziploc bag and put it by the door! He said he was preparing for work the next day. I broke up with him there and had someone else take me home!
Tell me about your worst date!

Forest Structure & Diversity
Working with multiple collaborators in Congo and Gabon, we quantify forest structure and composition and monitor changes associated with human activities. We are interested in both basic and applied questions related to Central African forests. Why are they less species rich and higher in biomass than their Amazon counterparts? How do human activities (logging, hunting, industrial agriculture) affect forests? Are there management actions that can mitigate the impact of human activities on forests and their inhabitants? Can we detect changes in phenology, forest composition, or structure as a result of climate change?
We are answering these questions via several projects.
We are answering these questions via several projects.
Gabon National Resource Inventory
National forest inventories are one of the key elements of forest monitoring systems, but most tropical countries lack such inventories, which are expensive and time-consuming to establish and maintain. In 2012, we worked with the Government of Gabon and a multinational scientific team (USFS, UCLA, Leeds Univ.) to create a National Resource Inventory (NRI) to measure the country's biological resources, with an initial focus on carbon stocks. The NRI consists of a countrywide network of forest plots located in a stratified, random design. By combining field data with remote sensing data, particularly LiDAR, we are quantifying the country's carbon stocks. We are in the process of using this exceptional dataset to calculate different carbon pools, including soil carbon, coarse woody debris, and aboveground biomass, as well as determine the environmental variables that drive variation in carbon densities. The NRI is being grown to a network of 500 permanent field plots to monitor carbon flux in the future.
Effect of land use on forest carbon
Due to their lack of development, many Central African countries have low deforestation rates and high forest cover. In the last decade, however, these countries have built infrastructure and invited in foreign investors as steps towards growing and diversifying their economies. Extractive industries are now on the rise. The challenge is for Central African governments to avoid going the way of West Africa and Southeast Asia by regulating companies to reduce biodiversity loss and carbon emissions to a minimum. In Gabon we link science to policy by asking questions such as: can palm oil production in tropical forest be compatible with no-net emission pledges? and where and how should agriculture take place to minimize environmental damage?
Combining field data and LiDAR, we worked with OLAM-Gabon and the Gabon Parks Agency to quantify the CO2 emissions from palm oil agriculture in Gabon to find that there is little opportunity for palm production to meet zero-net carbon emissions. We are currently assessing the carbon stocks in a proposed rubber concession.

Forest diversity and biomass: Sangha Plot Network
In 2005, Connie Clark, David Harris (Edinburgh Botanical Gardens) and John Poulsen set up the Sangha Plot Network -- a system of 30 1-ha plots that straddle a gradient of selective logging and hunting. Since then, we have followed the survival and growth of more than 11,000 individual trees. Our preliminary results suggest that even 30 years after timber harvest, logged forest still contain significantly lower biomass than undisturbed forest. We are now evaluating the relationship between forest productivity and species diversity as well as linking rates of forest growth with selective logging disturbance.

Generation of under-actuated manipulators with non-holonomic joints from ordinary manipulators
Document typeArticle
Date issued2010
PublisherASME PRESS
Rights accessOpen Access
This paper shows how to generate under-actuated manipulators by substituting nonholonomic spherical pairs (nS pairs) for (holonomic) spherical pairs (S pairs) in ordinary (i.e. not under-actuated) manipulators. As a case study, an under-actuated manipulator, previously proposed by one of the authors, is demonstrated to be generated, through this pair substitution, from an inversion of the 6-3 fully-parallel manipulator (FPM). Moreover, the kinetostatic analysis of this under-actuated manipulator is reconsidered, and a simple and compact formulation is obtained. The results of this kinetostatic analysis can be used both in the design of the under-actuated manipulator, and in its control. Keywords: kinetostatics, non-holonomic constraint, ordinary manipulator, underactuated manipulator, parallel manipulator.

By Taryn Ellis & Kerry Topp | Datacom
Decades of resource extraction, consumption, pollution and waste, have had a devastating cumulative impact on our planet and our people. Globally, a growing number of people realise this cannot continue and they are taking to the streets in protest.
At Datacom we believe if we are to make a significant, urgent and meaningful impact, we need to examine our world-view and make fundamental changes.
Internationally the United Nations is doing just that. Through its Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), it has called for countries to look beyond just economic measures of success. They are asking countries and businesses to look at social, environmental, and cultural wellbeing, as well.
Locally, the New Zealand Government has redefined what success means for New Zealand. Our Government believes that to be successful Aotearoa New Zealand needs to build a productive, sustainable and inclusive economy, which improves the wellbeing and living standards of all New Zealanders.
At Datacom we ask ourselves how do we add value and enable a unified view that prioritises genuine wealth and holistic wellbeing for all life?
We believe it is possible for businesses to genuinely embrace, a new set of performance measures for businesses. We believe these measures must place an increased importance on positive contribution to the preservation and regeneration of society, culture and the environment.
We are testing this thinking in two ways;
- By mobilising our people and partners to look at areas where they could embrace doing better socially, environmentally and culturally.
- And by shaping up a way for business to easily report on their impact and wellbeing.
Datacomp is our annual innovation activation. It brings together 350 – 430 people of diverse background and experience to solve gnarly challenges. This year we've challenged our participants to embrace Circular Design to reimagine how advanced tech can reinvent, reframe and reuse for the good of people, the planet & business.
Underlying this challenge is a not so subtle question we are also asking ourselves;
'what if we bring together a single, multi-stakeholder conversation about value creation, not value extraction?'
Datacomp 2019 – Circular is both our experiment to test this but also our start to think and act differently ourselves.

Cats are probably the most independent pets; they like company but can do without. They depend on you for food but would probably get by somehow if they had to. But they aren't born strong and independent. Kittens are born blind and completely defenseless. In complete contrast with the resilience of adult cats newborn kittens are very fragile. If for some reason they aren't getting the nutrition they need from mom cat they will require around the clock bottle feeding to survive. Bottle feeding kittens is hard but gratifying work. Read on to learn how to do it right.
Bottle feeding kittens dos and don'ts
When kittens will require bottle feeding
Normally, newborn kittens should nurse from their mom until they are about a month and a half old. But there are a number of different reasons for which kittens will require bottle feeding:
- If they get separated from their mom for some reason and no alternate nursing cat is available
- If mom cat isn't producing enough milk
- Mom cat rejects her kittens
- Mom cat becomes aggressive to her babies
- An abnormally large litter mom cat can't provide for
- If mom cat develops a medical condition preventing her from nursing
In any one of these scenarios bottle feeding becomes crucial for the kittens' immune system development and general survival.
bottle-feeding vs tube feeding
Feeding a newborn kitten can be done in two basic techniques; bottle-feeding and tube feeding. Choosing one over the other will depend on the kitten's condition.
If the kittens suffer from a medical condition that hinders the ingestion of food through their mouths, tube feeding would be the best option. If the kittens' mouth is underdeveloped or injured for some reason, tube feeding would work best as well. Note that if you find yourself caring for kittens with such medical issues you might need some professional help from a vet.
Bottle-feeding is the most common hand rearing technique and it doesn't require any special skills. When caring for newborn kittens bottle feeding will usually be the way to go.
Choosing the right bottle
Do: To bottle feed a kitten you'll need to get some special equipment. Kitten milk bottles are equipped with nipples to mimic nursing, just like human baby bottles. There are numerous manufacturers of bottle-feeding tools and
it is important to check on quality and get recommendations before making a purchase. Other things that are important to look at are capacity, nozzle, and durability. Kitten feeding bottles should be available in local stores.
Don't: don't be tempted to use human baby bottles as they are not suited for kittens and kittens will not be able to nurse from them.
What to feed nursing kittens
Do: With newborn kittens kitten formula is the way to go. This is a very important point. When it comes to bottle feeding kittens there are special kitten formulas available.
Don't: Don't feed your kitten cow milk or human baby formula as it lacks important nutritional values that are crucial to a kitten's immune system.
It is of course best to consult with a vet regarding suitable portions. It is important not to deprive your kitten or over feed them. Normally, the kitten will stop eating when they're full.
Before you start
Do: First thing's first, just like when you're feeding a baby, you have to check the temperature of the formula to make sure it's not too hot or cold. It should be room temperature.
How to hold a kitten during a feeding
Hold the kitten in your hand gently but firmly. Be sure the kitten's belly is facing down and his head is facing up towards the bottle.
Hold the bottle in a 45 degree angle and tilt it into the kittens mouth. The kitten should start suckling and will typically try to knead on the bottle and grab it.
Feeding habits differ in kittens; some will take the liquid continuously while others will pause after few seconds but will consume the same amount.
After a feeding
After you are certain the kitten has had enough, remove the bottle and pat the kitten gently on it's back. Also wipe the kitten's face with a warm towel.
Be sure to sterilize the nipple and bottle after every feeding. Most bottle-feeders come with a cleaning brush to enhance the cleaning process, make good use of it.
How frequently should you bottle feed?
In their first few weeks of life kittens should eat every 2 hours. As they grow up 5-6 times a day should be fine; don't worry, the kittens will let you know when they're hungry by squealing and crying. when the kittens become a little more active the level of activity they get during the day will determine the how often they get hungry. When bottle feeding your kitten is supposed to constantly be putting on weight. If it seems that the kitten is losing weight check (and correct) the frequency of bottle feedings and take the kitten to the vet to make sure there's nothing wrong with the kitten.
Helping kitten eliminate after bottle feeding
Kittens require help eliminating until they are about 4 weeks old. Normally mom cat will stimulate the kittens' bowls by licking their anus. Since you're bottle feeding you'll have to do it but don't worry – no actual licking is necessary. Gently massage the kitten's anus with a damp towel. That should do the trick. Make sure the kitten urinates as well.
To conclude
Caring for newborn kittens and bottle feeding kittens is hard work, but when you get to watch your kittens grow up and mature into strong, happy and healthy cats it's all worth it. There's a lot of information online about bottle feeding kittens – read all you can, watch some YouTube tutorials and you'll be fine.

Hello, Goodbye
There are many feelings as we wake up this morning. Today is Miss Baby Doll's Court date for placement. We've only had her for a little over 3 weeks but its half her life and it feel like so much longer. We love her so much and the whole family has really stepped up to care for her. We are patiently waiting to hear the results of court, that we are hoping results in reunification for the little princess. There is no reason why she shouldn't be with her birth dad and that's what we are praying for. Although, her going back to her dad means her leaving our family. Last night the little boys cried themselves to sleep and I painted this for her to take home. This foster journey hasn't started off the way we thought with an overwhelming amount of parent visits and knowing that she was probably going home but we are honored and blessed to have had her in our home. The best thing for her is not to stay with us and get totally bonded with us. The best thing is to move her now so she is not confused or brokenhearted as an older baby. But now, it's in the court's hands and not mine. Let's be honest, it's in the Lord's hands and he loves her more than anybody on this earth. I know that he has great plans for her and she has a bright future. My prayer is that all the love that we have poured into her with sleepless nights, bottles, feedings, chats, prayers, songs, and snuggles will penetrate deep into her heart to give her an added foundation of love to stand on. I pray that she will know the love of God all her life and be a mighty tree for him.
People always say how can you do it? You pour out your heart knowing it might be hurt but we'd rather love and lose then never love at all. And knowing how well cared for she was over these weeks is a blessing.
Next week
Well, we are getting used to being a tribe of 7 but it may come to an end next week. We are treasuring every moment with Miss Baby Doll. We are praying that next week she gets reunited with her birth dad. She is smiling now and showing off her personality. She's gaining weight and looks so different already. The boys are such awesome big brothers. They are doting on her and reporting to me of all the needs that she could possibly have. It's been really fun to see the positive impact that she's been in our life such a short amount of time. I'm not gonna lie, it's been rough at times, misinformation, stressful at with coordinating visits with both parents, various social workers, home visit, and other appointments all while having four other kids to care for. Through all of the ups and downs we have one constant, we felt called to do this so we will journey on. We had doubts and we've had to encourage each other to look forward. Thank you for all your prayers and keep them up. We want to see Miss Baby Doll right where she needs to be so keep her in prayer next week. And keep us in prayer also because we love her so much and although we're happy that she's being reunited with her dad most likely we will miss her deeply (especially me and the little boys).

Team Associated RC10B5 Build – Bag I Shocks
The instructions manual is very clear. Correctly building the shocks is a very important. The little details can make the difference between a good or a bad handling buggy.
My build notes:
- To make the installation of the spacers, bushings and orings easier, I use the shock shaft as a guide to align and to insert them into the bottom of the shock body.
- Apply a good amount of Team Associated Green Slime on the orings, this will prevent leaks.
- Make sure both front and rear shocks have the same length. When inserting the shock shaft into the eyelet, stop when the top of the eyelet completely hides the thread.
- When the shocks are installed, compress the suspension and make sure there is no binding.

"When you have expectations, you are setting yourself up for disappointment." – Ryan Reynolds
Expectations – this is one of those topics that seems to always come back to me, so I thought it might just be time to write a little about it. When I was looking for a quote to help frame my writing, I came across this one from Ryan Reynolds – I think it is perfectly short, sweet and to the point. It could be my thesis statement for this piece quite frankly. Simply put, if we are being honest with ourselves we can see that our expectations of others, of ourselves, and of life in general, more often than not, lead to disappointment, frustration, and a host of other negative emotions.
The tricky thing though is that we are taught to have expectations of ourselves, of others, of our jobs, of life, of practically everything and everyone in our lives. We are taught that not to have them is actually wrong or bad. As a result, having expectations has become so second-nature to us. We don't have to consciously think about having them…we just automatically do.
But here is the problem – when we create expectations in our minds of others, of a situation, of life in general, we are expecting to experience the person or situation in that very manner. In some cases we have played it all out in our heads to the most minute detail. We often become so attached to those expectations…enamored with them even…that if/when those expectations are not met we are sad, upset, frustrated, disappointed (or any of a host of other such feelings) and we direct those feelings and our reactions to them toward the person or situation about which we had the expectations. When it comes to placing those expectations on others, unfortunately, we unfairly do so without them even knowing it most of the time. Seldom do we tell them in advance of the expectations we hold for our interactions with them. It is really quite unfair of us, but again it is such an automatic response, rarely do we recognize what we are doing. And so a whole experience, situation or event can be ruined (at least in our mind's eye) because of the ensuing argument or disagreement that can come from our unmet expectations. It can really be quite a vicious circle.
I am not saying we should abandon the idea of having expectations for others or for our own life, but I would suggest the better way to go about it is to share your expectations in advance and allow for conversation about them. This way the other people involved can know up front what you are looking forward to, can speak their mind if they have concerns about being able to meet your expectations, and you can gain a more realistic view of what you can/should truly expect. Really good and open communication solves many things…managing expectations is only one of them.
One final thought on expectations – in reality I think a lot of it comes down to the fact that people often confuse expectations with goals. I think part of the problem is that we use those term interchangeably when they are indeed quite different things and as such should be approached differently – this is actually a whole other topic for another time…for now though it is sufficient to say that regardless of whether you have expectations or goals in a given situation, communicating them to those you will be interacting with is key to successfully manifesting your expectations or goals.
So here's the challenge for each of us – work on becoming more mindful…more aware…of when you create expectations and then communicate them in advance. If you by chance don't recognize you had expectations until you are in the midst of a situation, speak up about them as soon as you do notice them. Actively work to be open and honest about your expectations and goals…trust me, the other people in your life will appreciate it and you will find much good will come from it. Keep those expectations great…just learn to communicate them clearly.
