Julianne Hough of 'Heartstrings' Is Allegedly Having Problems in Marriage to Husband Brooks Laich
Julianne Hough and her husband Brooks Laich are reportedly going through a rough patch at the advent of the new year. Both sides have indicated that something may be up.
E! News reports that the couple, who have been together since 2017, have opted to make some changes in their relationship as the new year gets underway.
According to the outlet's source, the two want to keep the details of their relationship under wraps — understandable — but certain things may have come to light.
Various sources weigh in
The source claimed that the two "have been spending time apart" and are confused about how to label their current status. The love remains, though.
The informant alleged that work was a factor that influenced the state that they're in. However, they noted that "things have definitely changed" in the relationship.
As for the timeline of the reported breakdown, Us Weekly claims that the friction began in December. Their source alleges that a few people in the circle already knew about the issue.
Laich gets sentimental in post

The news follows the professional hockey player's year-end Instagram post that spoke about becoming a better person after reflecting on 2019.
When 2020 landed, Laich, 36, continued with his resolutions, mentioning a "new chapter," and learning more about his sexuality. The words bring to mind Hough's interview in August in which she came out.
A wedding rings contradiction
Hough, 31, opened up to Women's Health about a path of self-discovery that allowed her to be more authentic. At the time, she also said that her husband was more attracted to her as a result.
It was Laich who sported his wedding ring in an Instagram workout video he posted on January 2. In contrast, fans noticed a few times that Hough wasn't wearing hers.
Days later, another Instagram story showed the professional dancer without the piece. And just Wednesday, Hough was captured leaving a West Hollywood gym —again ringless.
Old plans now soiled
While some reports sound bleaker than others, it's unanimous that the two are not ready to bring it to light in their own words. We hope they work it out somehow.
Back in June 2019, the pair were outwardly discussing plans to have their first child with the help of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). Laich spoke out about it on his podcast, "How Men Think."
He revealed that the two are open to one child before considering any more. He also mentioned that his wife would be a wonderful mother in the future. Regardless of what happens, we believe the same.

Anastasia just sat in silence,
And she unraveled her imagination,
For she knows
Imagination is God expressed.
Anastasia started listening to her Soul,
The spirit inside her,
That whispers in silence,
In the music and images
To what she is whole-heartedly open.
Her body is a sacred and holy vessel
That her spirit designed, created and lovingly crafted
For their Joy, exhilaration and delight.
Now, she says
‘I’m ready to play…’

Women's Soccer Blanks American, 5-0
Oct. 20, 2004
Baltimore, Md. - Courtney Arikian scored three goals to lead the Loyola College women's soccer team to a 5-0 victory over American Wednesday afternoon at Alumnae Field. With the win, the Greyhounds continue on an eight game win streak for an overall record of 11-3. The Eagles fall to 11-4-1 with the loss.
"Today was a great effort all around for our team," head coach Joe Mallia said. "We came ready to play. Our possession was great, our defensive pressure was great and we did well to finish our chances."
Things started early for the Greyhounds when senior Ellen Sroka made a long cross that American's keeper Alison Doyle knocked down but Doyle couldn't hold onto the ball as it dropped to Arikian's feet for the goal in the eighth minute. At 12:43, junior Naomi Daniels tallied her first of two goals when her shot was deflected of an American defender and into the goal for the 2-0 lead. The Greyhounds made it 3-0 when Carolyn Kennington got a corner kick to Arikian for the goal at 24:27. Daniels tallied her second goal late in the first half when Ali Andrzejewski fed her from behind at 42:19. Loyola held a 4-0 halftime lead as well as a 13-1 advantage in shots at the half.
Arikian scored the final goal of the game, her third, in the second half on a pass from Sroka in the 78th minute.
"I give our team alot of credit right now," Mallia said. "They are very focused on game day and ready to go. With that focus we are a tough team to beat."
The Greyhounds finished with a 26-4 advantage in shots and a 11-7 lead in corner kicks.
Starting keeper Kate Gilfillan made one save beforeErica Niemann came on and stopped two shots. For American, Doyle stopped six Loyola shots before Charlotte Manetta replaced her making three saves of her own.
Loyola returns to its conference schedule this weekend, traveling to Rider on Saturday, October 23.

Preliminary investigation indicates that the victim brought shotgun to the apartment, where he drank with two others. Huntington Police Lt. John Williams stated that preliminary investigation showed the victim was "manipulating the gun" and "passing it among those present" when it discharged into his chest.
One of the witnesses called it a "freak accident." The resident and witness gave detailed statements to HPD and were released. An autopsy will be performed , Lt. Williams said. The Cabell County prosecutor has been consulted. The case will be presented to a future Grand Jury to determine if charges are warranted against any of those involved.
Williams told WSAZ that a questions remains as to why the victim brought the shotgun to the residence.

Both AMD and NVIDIA have long been battling it out to be the best professional GPU for CAD workstations that perform well in both 3D rendering and viewport performance. With NVIDIA typically being at the forefront, polishing their CUDA technology which is widely accepted by GPU rendering software. Whereas AMD have been playing catch up for some time and with GPU rendering software having little support for OpenCL, many 3D artists opt for NVIDIA when it comes to GPU rendering.
GPU rendering aside, both AMD and NVIDIA offer superior products that can handle large complex scenes filled with millions of polygons within 3D applications such as 3ds Max and Maya. But NVIDIA CUDA technology, due to its simplicity was easily and quickly integrated into GPU rendering applications such as NVIDIA’s own iray, V-Ray RT and Octane. By pre-compiling their code, scenes would load quickly on to the GPU, something that is not currently possible with AMD and OpenCL.
Chaos Group’s V-Ray RT was one of the only rendering software solutions to show interest in both CUDA and OpenCL upon release, and it continues to offer support for both platforms in V-Ray 3.0. Unfortunately early tests of AMD hardware showed slow rendering performance and usually resulted in crashing V-Ray RT. But as the specs of the AMD GPUs had shown promising performance, it was down to the drivers rather than hardware. Since V-Ray RT supports various hardware configurations and multiple software platforms, AMD initially struggled to support and match the performance of NVIDIA. We asked Chaos Group to share their thoughts on rendering with AMD GPUs:
We’re happy to help AMD meet customer demands with our commitment to Open CL support on V-Ray RT. – Chaos Group
So with continuing support from Chaos Group, AMD have been busy and along with their newly released AMD FirePro W9100 they have also released their latest 14.20 driver. We test the AMD FirePro W9100 professional GPU and compare how it performs in Chaos Groups V-Ray RT.
The W9100 has 2,816 stream processors (the equivalent factor to NVIDIA’s CUDA technology). Although a step up from the previous W9000, the core clock speed has dropped slightly from 975MHz to 930MHz. But with it comes the new Hawaii XT GL architecture bringing support for OpenCL 2.0 and packs an impressive 5 TFLOPS of Single-Precision performance. A much wider 512-bit memory bus delivers 320GB per second memory bandwidth meaning large amounts of data can be read very quickly, which is very much needed as the W9100 comes with a whopping 16GB of GDDR5 memory to fill. All this is needed though as the demand for 4K production increases, the six display ports are capable of running up to six 4K displays.
|AMD FirePro W9100||AMD FirePro W9000||AMD FirePro W8000|
|Core Clock (MHz)||930||975||900|
|VRAM||16GB GDDR5||6GB GDDR5||4GB GDDR5|
|Architecture||Hawaii GCN 1.1||Tahiti GCN 1.0||Tahiti GCN 1.0|
Rendering performance benchmark in V-Ray RT
We put the W9100 to test as we run 3ds Max 2014 and V-Ray 3.00.07. In addition to the W9100 the workstation supplied by Armari Ltd comes with an Intel Core i7 4930K.
In our tests the FirePro W9100 rendered this interior benchmark scene (courtesy of Chaos Group) in 2 minutes and 55 seconds. We rendered the same scene using the NVIDIA GTX TITAN which is based on the Kepler GK110 architecture and delivers similar rendering speed performance to the NVIDIA Quadro K6000, NVIDIA’s flagship professional workstation GPU. Although the W9100 is around 40% slower, the results show great improvement on previous AMD GPUs and driver versions.
Next we tested a studio lighting type scene (courtesy of Chaos Group) that has 13 million polygons to see if geometry heavy scenes perform differently. The W9100 rendered the scene in 2 minutes and 44 seconds and The GTX TITAN rendered it in 1 minute 49 seconds using CUDA. In this test the W9100 is around 34% slower so performance tests vary from scene to scene as textures, geometry and lights affect how the GPU performs. Since the GTX TITAN is pretty much on par with the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 professional CAD GPU in terms of rendering performance, this makes the W9100 a viable alternative choice to NVIDIA.
OpenCL Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology
With support for OpenCL 2.0 it is now possible for applications to run on both GPU and CPU simultaneously and AMD refer to this as Accelerated Parallel Processing (APP) technology. The W9100 fully supports APP and with this V-Ray RT can see both the CPU and GPU as rendering devices.
In our tests, the render time for the interior scene dropped from 2 minutes 55 seconds down to 1 minute 54 seconds when we combined the W9100 GPU with an i7 4930K CPU. We have seen similar technology in NVIDIA’s iray as they can also combine both GPU and CPU for GPU rendering.
The fact that the CPU has managed to knock off a minute of the W9100 render time, shows that recent CPUs are becoming quite powerful in this regard. However GPUs have the upper hand as it starts to get very expensive to build multi-CPU configurations, where as it is much more cost effective to have a low end CPU along with multiple GPUs in one single workstation.
Final frame rendering
Due to the bounced light an interior scene is difficult to render and we wouldn’t expect to find a clean result that matches the production renderer. This type of scene would benefit from a multi-GPU set up rather than a single one. Alternatively it could be rendered using the production renderer instead with Brute Force + Light Cache. V-Ray RT is a Brute Force + Brute Force method, so interior renders such as these will be slow in comparison to the production renderer. Until we see Brute Force + Light Cache in V-Ray RT GPU, final frame rendering on a single GPU is best left for small products in a studio environment.
Interactive performance in Active Shade mode
Where the W9100 really impressed us was with interactivity in Active Shade mode. We were able to spin, pan and zoom around in the viewport in good frames per second (FPS) with no lag whilst getting fast GPU rendering. This allowed us to continue working on the scene and get instant feedback on lighting and materials.
Professional CAD GPUs are designed to perform better than consumer gaming GPUs in 3D software, for example other benchmark tests have proven that the AMD FirePro and NVIDIA Quadro GPUs offer better viewport performance in wireframe mode. However for the likes of Autodesk and 3ds Max we have seen a huge improvement in viewport shading and due to these changes, high end consumer gaming GPUs can give better viewport performance in shaded mode or nitrous realistic mode compared to professional GPUs.
In the past when we have tested GPUs such as the NVIDIA GTX TITAN, we experienced a lot of lag when using Active Shade in GPU mode and unable to continue working on the scene whilst it is updating the render. This is because a gaming GPU such as the GTX TITAN will render fast however it does not offer as good Active Shade viewport performance as a professional workstation GPU. This can be slightly improved by lowering the quality settings of V-Ray RT so that it doesn’t try to eliminate noise so quickly but with the W9100, we didn’t need to do this. It performs really well with no lag using the default settings in V-Ray RT GPU. See below a video screen grab of 3ds Max showing the W9100 in action.
It is clear that AMD now offer a solution that caters for both fast GPU rendering as well as for handling large 3D scenes. Up until now this is something only NVIDIA could offer with the likes of the Quadro K6000 with their high number of CUDA cores and good viewport performance. The W9100 combined with a CPU using APP technology offers excellent additional performance with the freedom to combine various CPU options.
Instant feedback on lighting and materials with no lag in V-Ray RT GPU makes the W9100 a great GPU to use in Active Shade mode. Most scenes would not use the full 16GB so you will end up paying for a lot of GPU memory that you may never need. Perhaps this is where the upcoming W8100 would be a better choice as it has similar performance to the W9100 but instead comes with just 8GB of GPU memory.

Note: The amount of granulated stevia you use is up to you. Some people want it sweeter, some people like their rum balls more bitter (like me, and I am correct and you should make them more bitter cause I said so)
Add the almond flour, granulated stevia, and cocoa powder into a medium-large bowl and mix together until it appears as an even brown tone. Kinda like potting soil.
In a small pan or pot, melt the butter on lowest heat, then add the rum and mix thoroughly. Pour that mixture into the dry ingredients.
Using your filthy hands, mix and mix the ingredients together. Be patient; it takes a few minutes to really get the liquid to coat all the dry stuff. When you can squeeze a clump in your hand and it stays together, you're ready to start forming little balls. Or big ones. Heh.
Pour the powdery stevia into a little bowl and roll the balls all around it, coating them comepletely, giving them a lovely snowy appearance. This should make about 30-50 balls depending on how large you make them.

Mish said it best! Romney is in Iowa extolling the virtues of ethanol.
“I support the subsidy of ethanol,” Romney told a potential voter after an event here was cut short by a fire alarm. “I believe ethanol is an important part of our energy solution in this country.”
Romney is pandering to a state that sells its homegrown corn to make ethanol. The producers of ethanol get government subsidies. Romney is either a whore for supporting this government boondoggle or is ignorant of the facts. I might have considered voting for him in the past, but he just was crossed off my list of possibles.

Benefits Of Using An Outdoor Pizza Oven
Brick pizza ovens have been in existence since the dawn of man. Nearly every ancient tradition has had some form of brick oven. These days, people still use brick ovens and outdoor pizza ovens because of the unique taste that an outdoor oven pizza has. And they’re not good for just pizza either. You can make all kinds of different food creations in a outdoor pizza oven. Vegetables, fish, ham, chicken, ribs, bacon, you name it! Here are some “true blue” advantages to using an outdoor pizza oven that you won’t find in other pizza cooking methods.
Super Fast Cooking Time
An outdoor pizza oven can cut the time it takes to cook pizzas in a major way. Instead of waiting for 12-18 minutes for your pizza to be done, like you see in a traditional household oven, an outdoor oven is able to accomplish the same goal in only 3-6 minutes! This makes outdoor pizza ovens a fantastic way to keep the production of cooked pizza at an all time high.
Unique Flavor And Texture
You’ll notice that the flavor and texture of a outdoor pizza is second to none, and many people prefer this style of pizza over any other. In Naples, Italy, outdoor pizza ovens are commonplace, because in that area of the world it’s common knowledge that outdoor oven pizza is more delicious and flavorful. The retail restaurant pizza you encounter in your neighborhood is sub-par at best in comparison to an authentic outdoor oven pizza.
Crispier Cheese, Toppings, And Crust
You’ll also notice that the toppings on an outdoor pizza come out crispier and more flavorful. With less water left in the toppings because of the extreme heat and airflow, you get a much better pizza when all is said and done. Also, you’ll notice that the cheese, while not overdone or burnt, is slightly more crispy because of the superior cooking conditions. As far as the crust is concerned, as long as high quality ingredients are always used, you’ll find that even this has a unique outdoor oven flavor, slightly smoky and delicious.
Party And Get-Together Potential
Parties, get-togethers, and group outings can be completely revamped by using an outdoor oven for the food creation. Everything’s totally fresh, hot out of the outdoor oven, and you can literally save thousands of dollars by using these year round. Most people that make good use of their outdoor pizza ovens recoup the investment cost within the first couple of months. It sure beats the cost of dining out.
Also, these outdoor pizza ovens can fit in the back of a truck or car quite easily, making for a great way to create food on camping trips, picnics, and outdoor excursions of many kinds!
So, are you convinced yet? Not only will an outdoor pizza oven pay for itself in short order, it creates some of the most delicious food known to man. You can experiment with your outdoor pizza oven to create a wide variety of different pizza recipes. The more recipes you experiment with, the better your chances of always having a pizza option that you and your family will enjoy. After years of outdoor pizza oven practice, you’ll have hundreds if not thousands of pizza recipes to share with others. That kind of knowledge is priceless, and something you can hand down throughout your family generations.
Top 6 Outdoor Pizza Ovens:
The Pacific Living PL8430SSBG070 Outdoor Pizza Oven is able to recreate the taste and flavor of traditional Italian pizza originally made famous by Naples, Italy. Featuring a 16,000 BTU burner, stainless steel construction, all weather cover, 16″ pizza capacity, caster wheels (including 2 that lock), storage drawer, see through front window, temperature gauge, fold-down side shelves, heat resistant handle, pizza stone, and wood chip smoker box, this unit has it all.
Overall, this is a spectacular deal for a quality pizza oven with an affordable price tag for mid-range budgets at right around $1,000. The reviews speak highly of this item, and it’s big enough to handle large pizzas and other food items easily.
You can use propane with this unit, or you can buy a conversion kit to use natural gas instead. Also, people have been making adjustments to the chimney system in order to increase the internal cooking temperature. The manufacturer has approved these chimney adjustments and state that it won’t harm the oven in any way. Please see the Amazon reviews on this product for more details.
This is one amazing outdoor oven. With a 4.5 out of 5 Amazon review score, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better one. Featuring highly durable cast-iron construction, a hinged screen door with spark-guard, fiberglass lining, and removable rain lid, it will offer many years of trouble-free use. It can cook pizzas up to 14″ in diameter, and also has an ash catcher to help keep things neat and clean.
Overall, it’s a bit expensive for a minimum wage budget at right around $750, but people with a little more money to spend will enjoy the performance of a high quality oven like this. The review score is great, it’s affordable enough for people with a normal salary, and it’s very durable. It’s a solid investment that will pay for itself many times over throughout the years you use it.
Using the included cover to keep the oven protected from the elements will help a lot to extend the lifespan. Coating it with cooking oil can help to keep rust away, and a can of spray paint can go a long way to maintain the paint job on the outside of the oven.
With a super affordable price tag of under $150 and compact design, the Camp Chef Italia Pizza Oven PZ60 is a campsite dream come true. The design is inspired by the famous brick ovens of Italy. It features a domed oven top, rear vents, and a double layered ceiling that mimics the true nature of a wood fired brick oven. And check out the Amazon review score! Nearly everyone who’s tried it has great things to say about it. Genuine affordability, high performance, and pizza that’s hot and ready in only 3 minutes! You can’t beat it!
Always practice proper maintenance of your Camp Chef Italia Pizza Oven PZ60. This will ensure you get many years of use and value from this oven. It’s also one of the best choices for mobile transport to campsites with its compact, space saving design.
This is another super affordable outdoor pizza oven option, priced right around $220. Highly portable with a compact size, it can go anywhere you want to go. Set it in the backseat of your car, load it in the back of a truck, and you’re off to the camp or picnic site. It makes a full pizza in just 5 minutes, and it’s ready to cook another one right away. Non-stop pizza action, high quality construction, and the ability to run on standard propane.
It’s also a great option for people on a tight budget and for people that need easy travel ability. The pizza quality is fine for most people’s needs, and for the asking price it’s a really good deal overall.
You can try many different pizza recipes with this unit, and do it fast enough to make all day recipe experimentation easy. Also, remember that this oven gets quite hot at 700F, so you should be sure to prepare only compatible dough (i.e. dough that has a little extra fat in it) to prevent it from scorching.
The EcoQue ECO-71008 Wood Fired Pizza Oven and Smoker is by far one of the best innovations in outdoor pizza oven technology on the market today. It’s able to cook pizza and a whole lot more. It’s a genuine wood-fired pizza oven that features dual oven chambers. One for smoking meats, and one that’s completely sealed away from smoke and ash. It’s double insulated, made completely from stainless steel, and it’s priced affordably at $1,600.
Also, you’ll notice that the EcoQue is very energy efficient. That means more fuel savings and better performance than you’ll find in other wood fired outdoor ovens. The built in temperature gauges tell you what the exact temperature inside the oven chambers is for precision cooking ability. The included wheels allow you to move this oven to wherever you need it to go.
It comes with a custom fit cover to help protect the oven from outdoor elements. You should definitely use the cover to protect the oven when it’s not in use. This is also a very versatile oven, able to smoke foods, make bread, pizza, chicken, beef, and more. Perfecting the art of using this oven is key. Once you’re experienced with using it, you’ll find it to be one of your favorite outdoor cooking equipment items.
Kettlepizza Pro 22 Kit – Outdoor Pizza Oven Kit for 22.5 Inch Kettle Grills. Includes Prograte, Tombstone & Aluminum Pro Peel
This is an ingenious way to cook pizza outside using 22.5″ kettles. You get a genuine wood-fired pizza oven experience, the ability to refuel easily using side mounted drop-slots, an included firebox for higher cooking temperatures, a pizza peel, the 304 stainless steel pizza oven sleeve, two wood handles, 15.7″ x 14.5″ pizza stone, and 14″ pizza pan.
It’s a full featured kettle pizza oven package that comes with everything you need right out of the box! And for right around $300, it’s a great investment that doesn’t cost a lot. It will provide years of trouble free use, thanks to the simple design that’s built to last.
This product only works with 22.5″ kettles, so be aware of this if you’re considering this for purchase. You can check with KettlePizza to verify that your kettle grill will be compatible. Using the Weber One Touch 22.5 Inch Gold or Silver is a compatible grill, for example. Others may not be, so be sure to check on that.

Czech Prime Minister Stanislav Gross has lost his parliamentary majority after a coalition partner voted to quit the government.
Stanislav Gross faces questions about how he paid for a luxury flat
Christian Democrat leader Miroslav Kalousek had urged Mr Gross to resign over a row about his personal finances.
Mr Kalousek said the party would vote against the government in the no-confidence vote called for Friday.
Mr Gross has said he intends to remain in office for as long as his Social Democrat party supports him.
Correspondents say Mr Gross's government could only survive if it wins the support of the Communists, who are due to debate their position on Thursday.
Members of the junior partner in the coalition government met on Wednesday to decide whether or not to stay in government.
The meeting also called on the party's three cabinet ministers to resign from their posts.
The party leader said the Gross scandal had brought the country's political system into disrepute.
"The prime minister has not hesitated to take hostage the trustworthiness of democratic politics with his personal troubles," Mr Kalousek said.
"The Christian Democrats cannot support such actions and cannot take political responsibility for those actions."
The emergency meeting came after Mr Gross's Social Democrats rejected the Christian Democrats' demand for his resignation.
Mr Gross has also refused to step down over the allegations about his family's finances.
The prime minister has faced questions about how he paid for a luxury apartment in Prague five years ago.

Big Ol' Weeknight Salad
Author's Notes: Our CSA share keeps delighting us with fresh summer veggies, but sometimes we just want to throw it all together in a huge dinner salad. In this recipe, we used the red leaf lettuce, young white turnips, dill and scallions from our share, along with some added protein in the form of chickpeas and eggs. A handful of pickles and a quick homemade vinaigrette ties the whole thing together.
Big Ol' Weeknight Salad Print Recipe
- One head red leaf lettuce, washed, dried and torn into pieces
- 1 bunch hakurei turnips, scrubbed and cut into wedges
- 1 1/2 Tbsp butter
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1/2 bunch dill, chopped
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
- 1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic granules
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- LeRoux Olive Oil
- 4 eggs, hard boiled and chopped
- Handful of gherkins or other pickled things, chopped
- Your house vinaigrette
- Preheat oven to 425. Spread chickpeas on a 1/4 sheet rimmed baking sheet. Add smoked paprika, garlic granules, salt and a healthy drizzle of olive oil. Stir to coat and bake for 20-30 minutes or until crispy, stirring occasionally.
- In a large cast iron skillet, melt butter. Add turnips and toss to coat. Cook turnips without moving around in the pan so the bottom side gets nicely browned. Flip with tongs to brown the other side. Cook until all sides are browned and turnips are tender. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide lettuce between two low bowls. Arrange toppings in stripes atop lettuce. Dress with your favorite vinaigrette.

They are protesting the contractor’s alleged use of low-wage, underground labor. The subcontractor pictured is Stephen Nagy, formerly president of S&S Drywall Assemblies, arrested January 2011 and charged with racketeering, theft and other crimes related to shady business practices. S&S has shut down its Hillsboro office and disconnected its phone line while Nagy awaits trial.
Ben Basom of the Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters says the campaign targets the all-too-common practice of general contractors hiring subcontractors that undercut prevailing wage rates by paying cash and avoiding taxes. Basom says the union is sharing information with public agencies to protect the prevailing wage and benefit package of $41 per hour for carpenters.
“The more digging we do into the underground economy, the more we’re uncovering,” says Basom, noting that companies that pay under the table can undercut legitimate subcontractors by 15% to 30%.
S.D. Deacon has been named one of the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Oregon based on past employee surveys conducted by Oregon Business (contract employees do not participate in the surveys). General Manager Brad Howe says the company’s policy is to “take the lowest responsible bid,” and to double-check bids that come in suspiciously low.
Howe says S.D. Deacon “had no knowledge about what might have been going on behind the scenes” at S&S Drywall. He disputes the union’s characterization of what makes a fair wage. “The standard wage in the union’s mind is their wage,” he says. “We don’t necessarily agree.”
Workers say they will continue to demonstrate in front of S.D. Deacon for “as long as it takes.” Meanwhile, the union has its own house to clean up. Last year the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America stepped in to take over 1,200-member Local 247 in Portland after charging that local officials were mismanaging money. Basom says the union is consolidating nine locals in Oregon and Southwest Washington into one office in Oregon City to make union operations “more efficient and financially sound.”

You are invited to attend the Monthly Metalot Meet on October 25th 2017. During this seminar Prof. Fabien Halter, full Professor at the University of Orléans will tell you about 'Recent advancements in aluminium particles combustion'.
The Monthly Metalot Meet seminars offer you an insight in the latest developments in the field of circular use of metals and sustainable energy. With you we can bring these insights to use in the near future!
We hope to welcome you on the 25th of October! Hereafter you can find the program.
Prof. Dr. Philip de Goey
ABOUT THE SEMINAR
Combustion of a suspension of solid-fuel particles in a gaseous oxidizing medium (premixed dust flame) is important for many areas of modern technology (e.g., coal combustion, dust explosion hazards, propulsion systems). However, the understanding of dust combustion phenomena is still in a rudimentary state compared with gas flames. Among metallic dust particles, aluminum powders are used as fuels for their relatively low ignition energy, high oxidation enthalpy, high combustion temperature, environmentally benign products and relatively low cost. Indeed, aluminum particles are widely used for space and military applications to significantly enhance the performances of solid rocket motors. More recently, they have been envisaged as one of the future energy carriers : they can burn to release heat without any carbon chemistry, and can be regenerated by thermochemical processes powered by renewable sources.
It is very desirable to be able to predict the time required for the aluminum particles to ignite and to burn once they are ignited, in order to optimize the energy release in the desired application. Extensive experimental data have been collected and used to propose empirical correlations and phenomenological models. Recent experimental information obtained both with an electrostatic levitator and a Bunsen burner were used to complement these results. New insights were afforded on the burning process of an isolated particle.

Naomi Osaka begins US Open title defense with first-round win over Marie Bouzkova
NEW YORK — There was just a hint of doubt swirling around Naomi Osaka entering her 6-4, 6-1 first-round win over Marie Bouzková on Monday night, which sounds like a ridiculous thing to say, until you step back and consider the circumstances. A four-time Grand Slam winner, who is ranked No. 3 in the world and is the defending U.S. Open women’s champion, playing a player who is ranked No. 87 in the world and is 1-10 in Grand Slam events doesn’t sound like much of a matchup, at first glance.
But it’s been an odd year for Osaka, who began the season with an Australian Open win, withdrew from Wimbledon in June, pulled out of the French Open in July, and bowed out of the Tokyo Olympics in the third round. Her most recent tournament, the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, ended in a stunning defeat against Jil Teichmann, who prevailed vs. Osaka 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.
So, despite the fact that Osaka was playing the U.S. Open - seemingly her favorite of the four major tournaments, and a tournament that she’s won twice - it seemed fair to question what was to come, if only because her sample size this year is so small. She promptly reminded any doubters of what she was capable of on Monday.
'IT'S JUST DISAPPOINTING':Andy Murray fumes over excessively long bathroom break by opponent Stefanos Tsitsipas
Bouzková gave her a good fight at first, and seemed to handle Osaka’s prodigious power well, but the momentum shifted strongly in Osaka’s favor in the ninth game of the first set. The score was tied, 4-4, and Bouzková had a break point at 30-40, but then Osaka fired two aces and a service winner to take the game (and reinforce that the reigning 2020 U.S. Open women’s champion would not be going anywhere).
She closed out the set minutes later with the help of a wicked backhand winner and lost only one more game from there, closing out the match with a sizzling crosscourt forehand. She will play a qualifier next, against Olga Danilovic of Serbia.

City of Paducah to change how it handles foreclosed properties
PADUCAH, Ky. - Paducah Fire Chief Steve Kyle spoke with Mayor Gayle Kaler and City Commissioners about changes the Fire Prevention Division will make in its handling of foreclosed properties.
The primary change involves the city foreclosing on -- and buying -- properties it has issued liens against. The goal is then to "flip" the properties in an effort to recover money spent by the city on demolition and other fees.
The current order of operations is for code enforcement to inspect a foreclosed property and issue a fine if it is not up to code. If that fine is not paid, the city may place a lien against the property. Once demolition is needed, the city issues a demolition order and files additional liens.
After demolition, however, the city has continued to assume expenses and maintain the property, primarly by mowing. City Manager Jeff Pederson says the problem with this strategy is that the city does not actually own the property, meaning it can't sell it to recoup the money spent maintaining it.
“It doesn’t make sense for the city to slap liens and assume property expenses for long periods of time,” Pederson said.
Chief Kyle says the new process will involve the city foreclosing on properties it has placed liens against and buying them prior to demolition. He adds that while the city will own more properties, it can recover money by selling them.
“At the end of the day, if we end up with a lot of green space, we may end up with a development opportunity,” Kyle said.
Kyle also said he hopes the change will reduce unsafe structures and encourage reinvestment in properties around the city.
The Fire Prevention Division says there are 150 standing structures in Paducah that are in need of demolition. The cost of demolition, foreclosure and fees are estimated at close to $1.1 million.

I like this slide stop. I really gives you a much better ability to operate the pistol. I installed this alongside the extended mag release and the Xtreme S trigger group. FYI, You will have to modify your left side grip for this to work properly. Plan on taking around a half hour getting friendly with a file to get this piece to sit down and not interfere with the slide. The grip modification is really not hard though, just take your time and your left side grip will look like it came from the factory like that.
Would you recommend this product to a friend?

Another Road Bump for Consumer Arbitration Clauses in New Jersey
On June 14, 2016, the New Jersey Supreme Court issued yet another consumer friendly decision that further impedes the ability to enforce an arbitration agreement under New Jersey law. In a 5-1 decision, the Court in Dever v. Sanford Brown Institute held that an agreement to delegate issues of arbitrability to an arbitrator must, like the arbitration agreement itself, satisfy the elements necessary for the formation of a contract under state law.
The majority relied on the well-settled principle in First Options of Chicago, Inc. v. Kaplan, 514 U.S. 938 (1995), that issues of arbitrability should apply "ordinary state-law principles that govern the formation of contracts," to utilize the standard enumerated by the Court in Atalese v. U.S. Legal Services Group, 219 N.J. 430 (2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 2804 (2015). In Atalese, the Court held that, as with any contractual provision in New Jersey waiving a constitutional or statutory right, a waiver of rights provision in an arbitration agreement "must be clearly and unmistakably established." Accordingly, because the arbitration provision at issue in Dever did not "clearly and unmistakably delegate arbitrability to the arbitrator," it was unenforceable.
The lone dissenter took issue with the majority's refusal to consider binding federal precedent, and, most notably, Rent-A-Center, Inc. v. Jackson, 561 U.S. 63 (2010). For the dissent, Rent-A-Center held that if a party does not specifically challenge a provision in an arbitration agreement that assigns the question of arbitrability to an arbitrator at the trial level, the challenge is waived and the arbitration agreement is enforceable under the FAA. Because the plaintiffs in Dever did not challenge the contract language on the question of arbitrability to the trial court, the dissent asserted that the plaintiffs waived this challenge and the question of arbitrability must be determined by an arbitrator applying principles of New Jersey contract law to reach a determination.
The Court's decision in Dever highlights a growing tension between New Jersey courts and federal precedent on the proper interpretation and enforceability of arbitration agreements. Until the Court's decision on Monday, there was little doubt that Rent-A-Center held that a challenge to the enforceability of an arbitration agreement as a whole would be left to the arbitrator. Dever now ignores federal precedent to permit the opposite result.
Although Atalese escaped review by the U.S. Supreme Court, the questions created by the Dever decision may not. This is especially true because since the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari in Atalese, it has decided DirecTV, Inc. v. Imburgia, 136 S. Ct. 463 (2015) (interestingly not addressed in Dever), which reiterated that arbitration agreements in contracts are enforceable and state-law principles of contract should not undermine them. In the interim, businesses should review their arbitration agreements and confer with counsel to ensure enforceability in light of Dever.

How to import car from India to Canada
Importing a car from India to Canada can be a daunting task, but it can also be a rewarding experience if done correctly. Many people opt to import vehicles from other countries in search of better deals or unique models that are not available locally. In this article, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of importing a car from India to Canada successfully.
1. Research Canadian import regulations
The Canadian government has specific regulations regarding the importation of vehicles. It’s essential to have a clear understanding of these regulations before importing a car from India. You may have to comply with specific requirements such as emissions standards, safety standards, and documentation. Ensure you stay up-to-date with any changes in regulations to avoid any surprise fees or issues.
2. Identify the vehicle you want to import
Before importing a car from India, you need to have a specific make and model in mind. Ensure that the vehicle is not an illegal import, such as a stolen car or one that does not meet Canadian safety standards.
3. Check for eligibility
Not all vehicles are eligible for importation to Canada. Ensure that the car you intend to import meets the legal requirements to be registered and driven in Canada. You can check the Registrar of Imported Vehicles (RIV) website to verify the eligibility of the car you want to import.
4. Hire an importer
Hiring a reputable importer can save you time and money. They have experience in navigating import regulations and customs procedures. Ensure the importer has the right credentials and is familiar with the Canadian import regulations. The importer must handle all paperwork and customs duties, and taxes on your behalf.
5. Obtain all necessary paperwork
You will need to have all relevant documentation, including the vehicle’s registration, proof of ownership, and a Bill of Lading. Ensure that all documents are accurate, and all the information is up-to-date.
6. Transport the car to Canada
There are different modes of transport, including air, sea or road, and the choice will depend on your budget and timeline. It’s essential to have proper insurance coverage and ensure that the car is protected from any damage during transportation.
7. Pay import duties and taxes
Once the car arrives in Canada, you will be required to pay import duties, and taxes must be calculated based on the value and origin of the vehicle. Importing a vehicle can be expensive, so you need to budget accordingly.
8. Get the car inspected
The imported car needs to be inspected before it can be registered and licensed to be driven on Canadian roads. The inspection will cover the vehicle’s safety and emission standards for compliance with Canadian regulations.
9. Register the car with the Canadian Government
After the car passes the inspection, you will receive the certification sticker, which must be attached to the car’s windshield. You can then register the car with the Provincial Motor Vehicle Registry, pay the necessary fees, and obtain license plates.
10. Maintain the car
Maintaining the imported vehicle is essential to prolong its life and maintain its value. Ensure that you follow the manufacturer’s specifications for maintenance and repair, and always use genuine spare parts.
Importing a car from India to Canada can be a complicated process that requires adequate preparation and knowledge of Canadian import regulations. By following these steps, you can successfully import a car from India to Canada, and enjoy the ride in your dream car. Remember to work with reputable importers, obtain all relevant paperwork, and pay all customs duties and taxes. Once you take possession of the car, ensure that it is registered and inspected, and always maintain it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Safe driving!
Importing a car from India to Canada can be a challenging process. Many factors need to be considered, including the cost of the car, transportation expenses, taxes, and other fees. In this statistical report, we will explore the necessary steps and the costs associated with importing a car from India to Canada.
Step 1: Research
Before importing a car from India to Canada, it’s essential to do thorough research. One must determine the type of vehicle they want to import, the cost of the car, and the available transportation options. Based on our research, the majority of the cars that people wish to import from India to Canada include luxury cars, SUVs, and vintage cars.
Step 2: Shipping Costs
One of the significant expenses that need to be factored in is the shipping cost. The cost of transporting a car from India to Canada can range from $2,000 to $4,500, depending on the size and weight of the vehicle. This cost includes the insurance of the car during transportation.
Step 3: Taxes and Duties
Another significant expense is the taxes and duties associated with importing the car. The Canadian Government collects a duty of 6.1% on the cost of the car, including the shipping charges. The Canadian Tax Authority also collects an additional 13% GST tax.
Step 4: Inspection and Certification
Before a car can be imported to Canada from India, it must undergo inspection by the Canadian Government. This inspection is to ensure that the vehicle meets the Canadian safety and environmental standards. This process can cost up to $2000 depending on the car make and model.
In conclusion, importing a car from India to Canada is a challenging and expensive process. The cost of importing a car from India can range from $15000 to $30000, including all the necessary expenses. Importers must understand and factor in all the associated costs when planning to import a car, and they must follow all the necessary regulations to enjoy a smooth importation process.

Wondering How and Why You Came Down with Food Poisoning?
In American society, there is too often a sense that if someone is suffering due to a foodborne illness, they are simply grappling with a turn of bad luck. In reality, food poisoning usually occurs because of negligent practices by individuals or companies. As a result, many cases of food poisoning are legally actionable. Inadequate hygiene, poor safety practices, and a host of other preventable challenges are what generally lead to food poisoning on farms, in manufacturing facilities, packaging centers, stores, restaurants, and events where food is served.
There are two challenges that generally make filing a food poisoning matter…

CDC: Dozens Suffer in E. Coli Outbreak Linked to Wendy’s
When we stop for a quick bite to eat at a fast-food restaurant, we generally temper our expectations about the overall quality of the food. While it can certainly be frustrating, we are more or less willing to accept slightly cold fries in exchange for the convenience of a meal on the go. However, our expectations for food safety do not change, and we never expect to suffer from food poisoning when we choose fast food.
Unfortunately, this is exactly what reportedly happened to at least 97 people in six states after eating sandwiches from Wendy’s restaurants. According to the…

The Detroit Lions have sixty minutes of football for the rest of their lives, and the stakes are historically high.
The Lions will take the field tonight at Levi’s Stadium to play the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.
It’s almost hard to believe the words typed out above are real, but they are. It’s 2024 and the only thing that separates Detroit from a shot at the Lombardi Trophy is four quarters of football. Welcome to a new era of football in the Motor City under Dan Campbell.
The Lions have already accomplished a lot, but the job isn’t done yet. Not even close. There’s plenty of work to do, and that means fans have to be ready to rock and roll all day.
Detroit Lions fans need to embrace the moment.
It’s not a secret at all that I’m generally down with some debauchery and chaos. This is America. We’re cowboys and outlaws by nature. It’s what separates us from the communists elsewhere around the globe. In this country, we drink beer, blow stuff up and dominate just because it’s a random day of the week.
Well, today isn’t a random day of the week. It’s the most important Detroit game in franchise history, and the attitude and mentality of Lions fans needs to reflect that fact.
There are two kinds of people in this world. Gunfighters and everyone else. If you don’t know which one you are, then you’re damn sure not the former.
Lions fans are soaring high with a confidence unlike anything we’ve ever had before in our lives. I’m 31 and saw my first Lions playoff win just a couple weekends ago.
First in my life after more than three decades on this planet. It’s absolutely pathetic how bad the Lions were for so long, but those days are gone.
The team is new, and fans have the responsibility to reflect that with our attitudes and actions today. You work early tomorrow morning? I don’t care. So do I, and I’ll be at Dirty Water all night throwing back ice cold Miller Lites
I’m pretty sure there were some guys who were tired during the Battle of the Bulge and they still held the damn line against everything the Germans had to throw at them.
While football isn’t anywhere near as serious as war (not even a little bit), I want to see a similar attitude and mentality from Lions fans. Do not yield one inch. Not one damn inch to the 49ers or anyone else.
I don’t care if your significant other threatens to break up with you. Lions fans have to do whatever is necessary to make sure they’re in front of a TV locked and loaded by kickoff.
Get the grill going, make sure the beer is iced down, get the boys together and do not apologize for pushing the limits. It’s been decades of pain and carnage. We were all taken to hell, beat around, kicked and punched and the Lions managed to crawl out and advance to the NFC Championship.
Life’s a gunfight. It’s the reality of our existence, and all you can hope for is that it’s a good gunfight with your buddies at your side. Lions fans have stuck together through thick and thin, and we now have 60 minutes to punch a ticket to a place the Lions have never been before. If that’s not a reason to crack open some beers and party, then I truly don’t know what is.
Win, lose or draw, the Lions will play like champions and fans will rise to the occasion. Tonight is a night for the Lions, and I won’t apologize for getting wild. Hit me with your thoughts at email@example.com.
