Wow, where to start? Bob Savage was the only rational guy in this place until he got forced out by Ian the Terrible.
Their M.O. is to provide a terms sheet quickly, and then change the terms after you've gone down the road with them a bit and have turned down other sources. They're used to being virtually the only game in town, and getting away with poor treatment of entrepreneurs.
Don't waste your time
The Founder Institute is the world's largest entrepreneur training and startup startup launch program, with a portfolio of over 1400 Graduate companies from across 85+ cities and six continents.
This week, the Founder Institute will host its first ever Global Virtual Demo Day to showcase some of the program's top Graduates to an international audience of investors and entrepreneurs, live and online.

See Global Startups Solving Global Problems
During the live Global Virtual Demo Day, you can see pitches from top Founder Institute Graduates from four different countries, and three different continents. All presenting companies have already raised a small amount of funding or generated traction, and each is tackling a large, global issue with a huge market; such as satellite delivery, personal health, online security, online journalism, the sharing economy, corporate healthcare, and more. Presenting companies include;
1. Nexercise (http://nexercise.com) is a mobile platform for delivering addictive corporate wellness challenges. $1M+ est. revenue in 2015. $1.3M seed funding, TechStars alum, and DC Founder Institute Graduate.

5. Logrr (http://logrr.com) is an Identity as a Service platform for enterprises that connects employees to their cloud business applications without using passwords. Montreal Founder Institute Graduate.
I have seen amazingly unfavorable liquidation preferences from these guys! Would definitely qualify for Royal Vulture Capital terms.
They will swindle you during your dealings with them. Very tough on negotiations, and very founder unfriendly. You will waste time on your financing with them if you proceed to discuss your A or B round with them.
I have pitched many VC firms, and Globespan stands out for taking the time really understand the market, the pain points of the customers, the sales cycles and the positioning and differentiation in the product. They are deeply analytical and they are a pleasure to work with.
John Greathouse and Jim Andelman of Rincon Ventures have been extraordinary investors for my company! The vetting and diligence period was quick, negotiations on terms were equally fair and quick. But what has been most impressive from Rincon are the intangibles they have brought to my organization. The introductions they have made to job candidates / customer prospects / other investors have yielded great wins for us. And they are always there for me to discuss strategy and operational questions (without the guilt trip if i happen to not follow their advice). I meet with them once a week, and the conversation always begins with "This hour is for you. How can we help you." I can't say enough about these guys, and I highly recommend them for early/seed/series A.

Hosted by TheFunded.com and the Founder Institute, the Founder Showcase is Silicon Valley's leading international seed-stage startup event, gathering global technology founders and investors to hear from top experts, and help launch new companies to greatness.
The 16th edition of the Founder Showcase is scheduled for Tuesday, May 12th at the Microsoft Campus in Mountain View.
As the Founder Institute's network has grown, we are now expecting this to be the most international startup event in Silicon Valley, with top founders, investors, and press from six continents in attendance.
Pre-Sale Tickets (up to 50% off) are available until this Friday, March 6th, so get your tickets or table today.
This event will sell out, and tickets are fully-transferable - so what are you waiting for?
If you've never been to a Founder Showcase, here is how it works;
For starters, we get the top figures in Silicon Valley to discuss pressing topics in startups and venture capital. In our 15-event history, we've been truly honored by some of the names who have graced our stage - including Elon Musk, David Sacks, Phil Libin, Keith Rabois, Chris Dixon, Mark Suster, Kevin Rose, and Naval Ravikant, just to name a few. You can check out some awesome videos from past events here.
Second, we have a pitch competition completely geared towards seed-stage companies. How is this different from other pitch competitions? Well, most other events feature companies raising their Series-A, but we go one step earlier, as our presenters are all less than 2 years old and have raised less than $250,000 in funding. In other words, we give you the chance to see some of the most interesting companies of tomorrow before anyone else. Our alumni have gone on to raise over $150 million in funding, and include companies like Udemy, Relay Rides, Thumbtack, Realty Mogul, Kaggle, and many more.
Finally, we have awesome networking with over 400 startup founders, investors and press from all over the world, and an energy brought by our emcee Adeo Ressi that no other event can match.
This all gets mixed into one action packed afternoon and evening, so you can go get back to work building great companies.
We hope you will join us on May 12th!
Get your Pre-Sale Tickets Now, or learn more at www.FounderShowcase.com.
If you ask a local startup leader what is holding back their community from growing, chances are the answer you will get is "a lack of capital".
But in our experience working in nearly 100 markets across the globe, "lack of capital" is nowhere near being the biggest hindrance to startup community growth.
In fact, in nascent and developing markets, we have seen an influx of government and strategic capital actually hurt the local ecosystem more often than it helps it.
Consider the following sequence of events, which we have seen play out time and time again across several continents;
1. New capital to grow a local startup ecosystem is announced, either by the government or foreign investors. This money needs to be allocated fairly quickly, so investment will go to a select few organizations.
2. Organizations in the local ecosystem immediately begin jockeying for the investment. As a result, these organizations start (1) creating exclusive relationships with others in the ecosystem (these become known colloquially as "tribes"), or (2) vertically integrate (ex. co-working spaces that used to partner with accelerators now create their own accelerators, and those same accelerators start looking for real estate).
3. Almost overnight, a once collaborative ecosystem becomes overly competitive and fragmented.
The biggest losers in this scenario? Local entrepreneurs.
Rather than having access to many different options at each stage of their startup journey, they now become funneled into "walled gardens" of services (or "tribes" of partners). This fragmentation limits optionality, and creates a less inviting environment for new entrepreneurs to start up.
Unfortunately, it doesn't take an influx of capital to create this scenario. As entrepreneurship becomes more "in vogue" and competitive across the globe, we see growing ecosystems become more and more fragmented every day.
The biggest threat to a growing startup ecosystem is not a lack of capital - it is fragmentation and a lack of transparency, because it takes a city to raise a startup.
Fragmentation can't be fixed overnight, but if you can map out your local ecosystem, then you can immediately make it more transparent and inviting for newcomers. In other words, if you can lower the barrier to entry for new entrepreneurs to join your startup ecosystem, you can ultimately help it grow.
Hence, we developed the Startup Ecosystem Canvas to help startup leaders map their local ecosystem in a framework that makes it more transparent and inviting for new entrepreneurs.

Trailer Trash's Trashy Little X-Mas Show
Trailer Trash's first collection of Christmas covers, 1996's Hell, It's X-mas, remains one of the best hip holiday albums of the '90s, recorded live in Rich Mattson's Minneapolis basement in two days with all the warm verve of guys just doing it for fun. After a 2002 follow-up, the Lee's Liquor Lounge legends have returned with Nutcrackers, a third volume featuring rousing twang versions of everything from Clarence Carter's "Backdoor Santa" to Band Aid's "Do They Know It's Christmas?"—which they play straight, taking turns on verses, with a few bars of the BoDeans' "Good Things" thrown in because they fit. In person, the honky-tonk band remains one of the last great human jukeboxes, a must-see for out-of-towners here for family, with an eclectic catalog far exceeding the favorites compiled on a second 2009 album, Trailer Trash Plays Smash Hits (all CDs available at trailertrashmusic.com). This also caps the group's 16th annual series of "X-Mas" shows, so expect the looseness and whimsy that comes with going out on a high note.

Well, damn. Here's a napkin to wipe the egg off your face.
Well, damn. Here's a napkin to wipe the egg off your face.
Don't blame the casuals for making Warcraft worse. It's the unskilled masses who refuse to improve themselves and Blizzard who has decided to bribe these folks with an endless shower of purples that should draw the ire of both casual and hardcore alike. It was never about "seeing the content" for these people it's always been about the gear and their sense of entitlement.
Only if I get a crack at getting a frostwyrm that doesn't have the silly faceplate/rings of the ICC one. I'm still miffed that I missed my chance at a gladiator's frostwyrm.
Black should be placed in the BMAH like Plagued already is.
Gold cap on an extraordinarily rare instance of constantly checking BMAH, or extremely dumb luck, works fine for such an ancient and outdated mount.
I am both Dark Lady Vheliana Nightwing & Dark Priestess of Lust, Lorelei Legace!
~~ ~~
<3 ~ The Insane Leader of <The Coven of Dusk Desires> on Moon Guard! Mhahaha!!
Blizzard needs to be consistent about this. It doesn't make sense as to why the achievement mounts were removed when they kept the rest available.
- - - Updated - - -
I am surprised people are so obsessed with Black and Plague proto. In Wrath, my favorite mount by far was Time-Lost Proto Drake. It was not the prettiest mount but it was VERY hard to get. I saw like 4 people with it (including me) at any given time in Dal (tops) on my server. It was an exhilarating feeling when npcscan went off and you saw it was time lost. In general I value individual effort mounts way more because nobody could carry me whereas with meta achievements people are carried/buy them all the time. Those of you with the special snowflake attitude, heroic mounts off of end expansion bosses have been selling for lots of gold and are not exclusive to the best of raiders.
Why is no one bringing elegon up?
Prey on the weak and you will survive, prey on the strong and you will live.
just let me use my broom out of hallow's end, I don't care if everyone and their mom has it, just give it a cast time.
No One For President 2016
And if you read any of the previous discussion that I posted I said that I don't want it to be a gold cap thing. Just make is obtainable as a meta mount like the other ones or if Blizzard should make it so that you have to do challenge mode esque scenarios to obtain them. For example they could make a scenario where you need to beat all the bosses of Naxx and then you get to receive the mounts but it'd be hard to do like the Warlock fire quest. This is just one thing they can do. Making it cost 999,999 is the worst idea ever. It only has a 0.01% chance to get on the BMAH anyways and then they make it so that you need to spend all your gold on it. Extremely unfair.
I don't mind earning my mount. I got the Violet drake and I worked on that for an ENTIRE year. I don't care if its stupidly hard to get the Plagued and Black Proto's but I DON'T want it to be entirely based on RNG... That's incredibly stupid and that's what the BMAH is.
- - - Updated - - -
Obviously you feel strongly about it so I don't know if its your only achievement in life or something like that but it was 6 years ago that this mount was available. I've done my fair share of time in this game, killed bosses on heroic, got other meta mounts but sadly these two were missed for me. Simply because I could not get my guild to get the last few achievements. So it does suck but guess what? Blizzard was inconsistent with the reward system and that deserves to be brought up.
I'm not a brat I'm simply bringing up a reasonable argument. I'll pay the gold. Hell I'd pay anyone $1000 for their account so I can merge it with mine to get the mount. But I'd rather do something challenging that takes a me a year or hours worth of my time so I can earn my mount. I'm not asking for a free handout. So if that makes me a brat that wants everything handed to me then I guess I'm a brat. I've played WoW for 10 years now, and NOT once have I ever asked Blizzard to give free handouts.
you didn't get it and now it's gone
it was removed so that it would be a reward for those who completed it when it was relevant, like the Amani Bear, like the challenge mode items and others
you can complain and feel entitled all you want, but you won't get it (or so I hope)
in a few years you'll say 'hey I only needed to do 2 challenge modes on gold to get my cm set, too bad, but now I feel like I deserve it anyway'
there are new mounts you can get, stop living in the past

I wear it because I like it. Not for the prestige of having it.
- Red Proto Drake
- Rusted Protodrake
- Ironbound Protodrake
- Bloodbathed Frostbrood Vanquisher
- Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher
- Volcanic Stone Drake
- Drake of the East Wind
- Corrupted Firehawk
- Twilight Harbinger
- Crimson Cloud Serpent
- Heavenly Crimson Cloud Serpent
- Armored Skyscreamer
- Galakras
are all still obtainable easily by 100s. The fact that 2 of the mounts from arguably the easiest raid ever (Naxx 10/25) were removed kinda debunks the whole "you don't deserve it because you were too bad" argument. Because obviously if that was the case, we would've seen the rest removed as well.
"Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it." - Ayn Rand
Proto drakes are ugly. I use my immortal title all the time, times I've used my black proto in the last few years can be counted on one hand.
You can lead a person to knowledge, but you can't make them think.

The reader is strongly advised to read the lens evaluation notes.
The Voigtlander Nokton 58mm f/1.4 SL II is a high speed classic portrait lens, its 58mm focal length being slightly longer than a "normal" lens, yet allowing closer working distance than an 85mm.
The image rendition is targeted not so much for contrast as for bokeh and visual appeal. In this respect it might be a desirable lens for portraiture and the like.
The 58/1.4 has an aperture ring, and thus can also be used on Canon EOS with a mechanical lens adapter. It is small and light and very compact. Build quality is similar to Zeiss lenses.

Less than a half hour ago, Newt Gingrich twittered a link to his response to President Obama's State of the Union Address, in which Obama borrowed a theme first used by Newt Gingrich, in Gingrich's 2005, book titled, "Winning the Future". For those conservatives who hope that Newt will promptly respond, tit-for-tat, by an announcement that Newt's next speech will be "The Audacity of Hope"; unfortunately, that audacity nor hope is yet realized.
newtgingrich Newt Gingrich
My take on Obama's State of the Union speech is up at Yahoo News: http://yhoo.it/gerXcM
19minutes ago Favorite Retweet Reply By Newt Gingrich
Following are excerpts transcribed from Newt's opinion piece:
When I first heard that President Obama was using "winning the future" as the theme of his state of the union I thought it was ironically funny.
I wrote a book, "Winning the Future: A 21st Century Contract with America" in 2005. I used the title "Winning the Future" to make the case that the future was not automatically ours, that we Americans were not winning the future with our current policies and that we would have to make real changes to win...
I looked forward to the State of the Union address to see how President Obama would build on this theme of winning. Winning implies a real contest. Winning implies losing is possible...
After telling us government is failing (with a cute story about three different departments dealing with salmon) he then proposed more power and more money for the very institutions he has just suggested were ineffective and inefficient.
However, what was most depressing about President Obama's State of the Union address was not its big government liberalism, its clever maneuvering to keep all the big government of the last two years, or its failure to admit how much liberalism had failed to create jobs.
What really saddened me about the President's State of the Union address was its shallowness and lack of serious dialogue...
Sadly, there is no Obama plan for winning the future.
There is an Obama plan for protecting big government, for pouring more money into broken bureaucracies, for borrowing several trillion more from the Chinese dictatorship.
President Obama is on a path to lose the future while pretending to change things.
The Republican House of Representatives should aggressively move forward and propose a scale of change to genuinely win the future.
Let the American people see the contrast and let the American people decide if they want big government, high taxes, economic decay and dangerous cuts in defense.
I believe the American people want to genuinely win the future and will prefer a future of smaller government, more entrepreneurship, more genuine investment within a free market, more replacement of failing policies and institutions and a lot more honesty about the real change we need.
Let the debate begin.
Newt Gingrich was Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1995-1999 and is a potential Republican presidential candidate.

Two people are dead after a boating accident in Washington County Tuesday night. It happened sometime before 7:00 on Big Blue Pond on Moody's Pasture in Washington County, just north of Ebro.
Eighty-seven-year-old James Edwin Tiller; his son, 53-year-old Thomas Michael Tiller, and Michael's wife, Rebecca Ann Tiller, were fishing on the pond. Their aluminum boat capsized.
The woman managed to swim the 30 feet to shore, but her husband and father-in-law didn't make it. Fish and Wildlife officials say they didn't get on the scene until after 8:30.
Search teams located both men's bodies about midnight Tuesday night.
James Edwin Tiller was from Vernon. Apparently his son and daughter-in-law were visiting from Houston, Texas.
The incident is still under investigation.

Alfred Hitchcock's seminal slasher Psycho is rightly regarded as his most imitated and influential film, and one that singlehandedly reinvented the horror genre.
Marion Crane flees her city life following a robbery from her employer's client and, unaware of what befalls her, she checks into the remote Bates Motel where she soon encounters the young proprietor Norman Bates. A stunning new digital print of the ultimate Hitchcock masterpiece, this brilliant study of style, mood and madness is a must-see on the big screen.

it's amazing that such a "small" club such as ours is more successful than a "big" club such as yours.
Remind us how many league titles you've won
Remind us how many times you've won the european cup and more significantly ...... remind us why your manager wont retire ........ oh yeah that's right - not until he's won as many titles as us - seems to us that he thinks that we are a better club than you.
OK we'll let you have the cup for the most armchair, prawn eating fickle fan base ........ you can have that you nutty professor you.

bevel gearboxes
Our compact bevel gearboxes are designed and built with performance and efficiency in mind.
Neeter Drive Range-N
The Neeter Drive bevel gearbox is an ultra compact unit and is available in 5 sizes with 5 gear ratios.
Employing a central bearing housing support on the 1:1 and 1.5:1 gear ratios, and a small extended bearing housing on the input side of the bevel gearboxes with ratios 2:1 and above. It is a high torque rated unit with good thermal characteristics. It is available in solid shaft and hollow output shaft configurations with the optionional motor mounting flange, for easy direct coupling of a standard electric motor.
The Range-U bevel gearbox is part of the new U-Series proposition from Power Jacks: a range of electro-mechanical subsea products specifically designed to operate at maximum efficiency in an underwater environment.
The Range-U Bevel gearbox has proven depth ratings of up to 3000m and capacities up to 20000Nm as standard. On request they can go even deeper.
They possess all the qualities you'd expect of Power Jacks products — strength, reliability, durability and high performance. And that means they're ideally suited to operate in the toughest subsea conditions, anywhere in the world.
A compact "monobloc" bevel gearbox design provides a visually attractive, quality finished, casing, produced from die-casting, in lightweight, aluminium alloy.
Several alternative fixing options are provided each via 4 fixing holes, as well as, through 4 holes in integrally cast, small base-mounting bosses, on widely-spaced centers — for more stable mounting, to top or bottom thereby offering universal and exceptionally firm attachment facilities. A series of bevel gearboxes with three hole mounting in the gearbox casing is also available.

What I want is :
In the search method i will add an extra parameter say relevance param of type float to setup the cuttoff relevance. So lets say if the cutoff is 60% I want items that are higher than 60% relevance.
Here is current code of search :
say the search text is a and in lucene file system i have following description: 1) abcdef 2)abc 3)abcd
for now it will fetch all the above three docuements , i want to fetch those which are that are higher than 60% relevance.
//for now i am not using the relevanceparam anywhere in the method :
public static string[] Search(string searchText,float relevanceparam)
//List of ID
List<string> searchResultID = new List<string>();
IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(reader);
Term searchTerm = new Term("Text", searchText);
Query query = new TermQuery(searchTerm);
Hits hits = searcher.Search(query);
for (int i = 0; i < hits.Length(); i++)
float r = hits.Score(i);
Document doc = hits.Doc(i);
return searchResultID.ToArray();
Edit :
what if i set boost to my query say : query.SetBoost(1.6);-- is this is equivalent to 60 percent?

Carmel is such a quaint seaside village nestled in a pine forest . The tree lined streets are full of boutique shops, art galleries,cute cottages, lots of cafes & restaurants.It is also home to a historical Spanish Mission with Mediterranean fountains & gardens.No streetlights, mailboxes ,tacky signs or discount warehouses are allowed here.It is also against the law in Carmel to cut trees & if mature tree roots break a side walk they just make a new sidewalk that goes over or around it There are no tract houses or mass produced anything. The homes are all picture perfect and sometimes seem like something from a fairytale.The unique charm of Carmel is both well planned & protected. The beach has soft white sand & is a very beautiful part of the California Coastline.
- Pros:Beautiful nature & architecture, lots of shops & cafes.
- Cons:Only the rich can live here.
- In a nutshell:Charming Seaside Village

Carmel looks so pretty. We haven't traveled here yet, but it 's an enticing destination! Regards from Texas....
Nice tips! I found it very interesting that in Carmel the houses are identified by name rather than by numbers. Also I found the info about the cypress and pines a learning experience. I didn't kow that these were being introduced in other countries!
Hello & absolutely great photos and tips--good reason you are a top 5 for this location. Thanks! Ann, The Travel Slut
Thx for checking out my Monterey pages. You have another nice page here on Carmel. ~Joe
This is a very nice place with beautiful beaches, thanks for sharing!
Yes, this really does look like a lovely town, even if only the rich can live there. At least the rest of us can visit. Unfortunately I have never been there, even though I lived and worked in Berkeley for several years.
What a beautiful group of pages you have created. Very insightful, descriptive, and helpful. Glorious photographs.
Great that this is a dog friendly place = loved the beaches & charmng cottages = thanks for the tour!
I was in Carmel briefly and didn't see enough to satisfy me. Your photos definitely make me want to return. Carmel really is an enchanting place!
Come back and visit Santa Barbara. We can have lunch.

Loooong time thread lurker, those are actually my AS Miller boots. Nice things, but damned if they're not completely the wrong shape for my feet.
On a less self-plugging note, a decent looking pair of JL Ashill's, UK 9.5, BIN £350. Seem to be in good nick, but they look a tad blobby. Not sure if that's just the photos or what. Not crazy about the grained leather in that dark brown either.

This simple home remedy has worked 100% of the time for anyone that has tried it. Instead of suffering with a sore throat for a week or more, you can drive it away immediately, sometimes in less than a day. However, this remedy is not medical advice; it is a shared experience that really works! This site is not for profit; it's aim is simply to help people cure their sore throats.
The most common sore throat remedies for sore throat are usually over-the-counter sprays, lozenges and pastilles that are ineffective and smelly. The most common doctor-prescribed remedies are antibiotics, which take time to obtain, cost money and can have many negative side effects.
Most often, people waste time waiting while trying to figure out whether
or not they really have a sore throat. By the time they realize they do
have a sore throat, it's usually to the point that they are already suffering
from serious sore
throat pain, can barely speak, swallow or even eat.
This remedy is salt, and not just about gargling saltwater, it is actually about using common table salt as it is.
What you have to do is: tilt your head backwards and shake a little bit of salt straight into the back of your throat. Make sure you shake it straight into your throat, onto the base of your tongue and not over the middle or the tip your tongue (this way you will not suffer from any unpleasant taste). After that, do not swallow your saliva, just let the salt dissolve right there on the back of your throat, letting the salt stay there for as long as you possibly can. If you're using a salt shaker, shake 2 to 6 times depending how bad your sore throat is. If you're using a fast food style paper saltshaker, you should shake about 1/4 of the packet directly into your throat.
Also highly suggested, is to shake an even larger amount of salt into your throat right before you go to sleep for the night. During your sleep, without food or drink, bacteria thrive without any interruption to incubation and growth. Therefore, using salt while you are asleep can be extremely effective. Keep a salt shaker near your bed. If you wake up in the middle of the night feeling sore, you can shake some more salt into your throat.
Salt is a very old remedy that kills bacteria. In the old days they traditionally used salt to preserve meat and fish. Why? Because salt attracts water and attacks the bacteria cell walls, causing the bacteria to dehydrate and self-destruct in the process.
If your sore throat is really severe you can use salt as often as every 30 minutes. Use it as soon as you feel the first symptoms of a sore throat and the earlier you use it, the faster you'll get rid of that sore throat.
Salt is available nearly everywhere. You can stop in to any fast food place on any street and grab some. Don't wait around trying to figure out whether or not your sore throat is serious. Instead you can use this quick sore throat cure. As soon as you feel the first signs of a sore throat, use the salt immediately. Gargling salt water is not nearly as effective since the concentration of salt is not high enough to take care of the problem. Also, gargling water requires a cup of water and the time to dissolve the salt in it, yet more inconvenience that makes you wait for relief.
Not all sore throats are the result of a bacteria infection. Sometimes the cause is a virus, commonly known as influenza virus. Many times your sore throat starts as a viral infection which develops into a bacterial infection. Salt is intended to fight only the bacteria, not the virus. Therefore salt might not be totally effective if you are suffering from a viral throat infection. Nevertheless, you really have nothing to lose by using salt. According to experience, salt can be extremely effective in most all cases, depending on the cause of your sore throat.
A sore throat is also often the first stage of a common cold, also known as the Flu. First to arrive is the sore throat, followed by nasal congestion and coughing. If you can take care of it fast, you won't wear down your immune system fighting the sore throat and your immune system has more energy to fight the other cold symptoms. Therefore, using salt could also shorten the total duration of suffering from the common cold.
Everybody suffers from a sore throat every year. If you find this advice to be useful - feel free to share it with your friends - and send them a link to this site.

Going to try it for the first time after I eat breakfast
Will let you know the results soon
I think it will work for me
Thanks for the tip
I don't have to leave my room and my sore throat can disappear today
Sounds wonderful
Going to try it now
I put the salt on a spoon and put the spoon as far back in my mouth as I could and dropped the salt on my throat
I feel relieve already
Will try again later
Thanks it works
It didn't burn
It left me such of good feeling after i did it besides that i have saved up some $$ because getting all kinda meds outhere that say this and that is kinda complicated
Just tried this and on the second go (first try just went on my tongue!!) I managed to get the salt properly on my throat and then I kept it there for about a minute or so before I HAD to swallow!
Although it stung a little bit I definitely now feel that my throat is not as painful and I am not wincing as much when I swallow! Thanks for this useful tip! :)
I love this remedie. I tried it and it worked. I also gave it to my teens and it worked! Thanks:)
It works pretty good. Delivery is very important. If you do it wrong your going to come on here and troll it up looking like a retard though. I have a really nasty sore throat with the white spots and everything and it was completely gone within a few hours. Make sure there is at least something in your stomach before you do this otherwise you will get a upset stomach afterwards.
Amazing treatment..I cant believe it until it happened to me. I have been a nurse for 50 years and cant believe I never knew this cure. It was an instant cure and you better try to believe it It saved stress and money too. Thanks to the internet.
Yeah, just tried this. Throat is so sore and it is hard to for me to talk...but I held it for about a minute or two and WOW. Freaking amazing. Will keep doing this. Thanks!
This made my sore throat go away within two minutes thanks.
Quit being a buncha pansies and eat the salt, it works.
I tried, this only once and my throat felt a little better, so i'm somewhat confident it will help at least temporarily. However how can you not swallow? Don't have to swall every few minutes to get the saliva. When I did this my mouth quickly become full of spit and i had to take frequent trips to the sink.

Zeenat's Group
She is supportive by nature, and she shares the family's financial burden with her husband by making shoes. Zeenat receives orders from different shoe stores and fulfills them to earn a profit. Her husband, M. Y., sells fruit from his four-wheeled cart.
Zeenat has 11 children. Due to poor financial conditions, she hasn't been able to provide an education to her children. Two of her sons do private jobs; the third drives a rickshaw. Her fourth son is a tailor. The other children stay at home and don't work.
Zeenat has applied for a loan from Kiva partner Asasah for her shoe-making business because she has a large order to fulfill. With the loan, she will buy leather, shoelaces, nails, shoe polish and other supplies to make shoes to fulfill the orders. She has been in this business for more than 9 years. She is hopeful that this loan will enable her to fulfill the orders on time and build a positive image with her clients by providing quality service.
She is a regular loan user of Asasah and this is her 5th loan application. In previous loans, she maintained good credit and never missed a meeting.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

But the "my right to freedom" argument is dopey if there is a (non-trivial) cost to others. People need to make another argument.

1. Bicycle helmets are explicitly not designed to reduce traumatic brain inury: this is where the heavy, long-term costs exist.
2. The problem of TBI in bicycling, as in walking is negligeable compared to that incurred through automobile over-use in N.America
3. Widespread helmet use appears to correlate with public perceptions of cycling as risky, which then might be argued to link to a decrease in cycling levels and a reduction of healthy exercise: thus causing an even greater public cost
In short, bicycle induced head injury is not a big cost to society and even if it were there is no reasonably demonstrated solution to the problem. Certainly not through current helmet designs.
3. I don't know that widespread, voluntary helmet use outside MHL territories drives down ridership. NYC is in the USA where there is that unreasonably fear-driven notion that you need a helmet to be riding a bike safely. Yet they've seen increases in ridership. Cycling in general is increasing in spite of USA fear culture. And while fear-culture might keep people off bikes, helmets are not the only or main cause of that -- contributory, certainly, maybe even significantly, but far from the biggest reason.
If it was found that current attitudes regarding helmets are keeping many away from cycling, that would be a bigger cost -- as you say, cycling is generally safe, head injury due to cycling crashes are not a huge cost. But regular cycling even at current meager participation provides arguably more financial benefit in the form of a general health dividend than payouts for crashes. Not to mention, energy savings, cleaner air, etc.
I've asked for this before and not got an answer: does voluntary but heavily encouraged helmet use have any measurable effect on ridership?
We have studies regarding places where MHLs are in effect and because ridership drops off when a MHL is introduced, I staunchly oppose them. But that has very little to do with voluntary helmet use/ridership statistics, especially since most MHL studies take place in other countries, other cultures.
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
I agree smoking should be banned from some public places, but not all public places like bars where only adults are allowed, and thus as an adult you have the right not to go into an establishment that allows that, and places of living like condo's, apartments, or houses whether owned or rented. Now if the owner of a rental puts a non-smoking clause in a lease agreement or else will be charged the security deposit to fix the damage caused by smoking then that's fine, that's a contract between one private party to another to which it has to be agreed upon, but for any form of government to step in an do that is not right. The only way the government can force that right on us is to make smoking and buying tobacco products of any kind illegal altogether...which I wouldn't be surprise if it got to that, which I'm sure would lead us to prohibition type of behavior we had back when they tried that with alcohol.
And I don't think smokers rights are more valuable then non-smokers, however we both have rights, and since we both have rights then there should be enough freedom for a smoker to go into a bar or restaurant that only caters to adults but allows smoking to have that right to do just that, and our rights are that we don't have to go into that bar or restaurant that caters to smokers. That's plain and simple. It's the same reason I don't think we should be forced to wear bicycle helmets unless your under 18, it should be left as a choice for an adult to make an adult decision, but I feel the same way with seat belts. I don't feel this way because I don't wear helmets or a seat belt because I do both, but as an adult that is my decision to make not the government's.
I hope you understand, but indications from your post are that you don't. And that's ok, it's your opinion just as all the above is my opinion.
Walking is fundamentally different than bicycles. Human machine is designed to walk, sometimes even run. No mechanical device to increase speed; low enough speeds to usually avoid crashes.
I get where you're coming from, but just like studies about motorcycle helmets or skateboard helmets don't have equivalent relevance when compared to bicycle helmets; I'm not going to buy an argument based on "walking helmets." (...I think they're more popularly called "hats".)
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
If you want a device to protect the head at speed it does exist: it's a motorcycle helmet.
I foresee a vivid new future, of walking stores, selling walking helmets, gloves, shoes, hydration packs.
Cycling is basically a safe sport, why should helmet mfgs design helmets for the nth percentile of worst bike crashes, where TBI becomes relevant?
There's also no figures out there regarding the efficacy of helmets in mitigating damage where less than serious injury is concerned. Which make up the bulk of bike crashes.
Motorcycle helmet is overkill; bike helmets are fine for bicycle riding.
You've seen those new walking balance sticks, yes? Marketed as "trekking poles"? While there's no walking helmets just yet, there are indeed walking shoes, and I bet there's some walking website out there that could direct you to decent walking gloves and hydration packs... It actually surprises me there's no walking helmet being marketed yet, especially for that "Extreme Walking" niche...
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
A Danish insurance group is promoting walking helmets: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sc...alking-helmets
and there are crawling/walking helmets for toddlers: http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fa...udguard-helmet
The indirect, fairly trivial "cost" is far outweighed by a person's right to free choice. You don't have an inherent right to cheap services. People do have an inherent right to free choice. That's a big difference. Unless their choice is pretty directly harming you or infringing on your rights, you don't get a say. This is a pseudo-conundrum only really created out of playing fast and loose with the word "right".But the "my right to freedom" argument is dopey if there is a (non-trivial) cost to others. People need to make another argument.
"The bicycle is the noblest invention of mankind. I love the bicycle. I always have. I can think of no sincere, decent human being, male or female, young or old, saint or sinner, who can resist the bicycle."
- William Saroyan
But such situations are exceedingly rare.
It's the 85% of cycling crashes which don't involve a vehicle, don't involve serious injury, where helmets might be making a difference. But maybe not. We don't really know. Those who wear helmets think they do... so do those who don't.
In less than serious injuries which don't involve a vehicle, I'd wager your average pedestrian suffers less damage than your average cyclist. Also that the rates of light to moderate injury are far more for bicycle crashes when compared to pedestrian... crashes? mishaps? unfortunate events?
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
Any recommendation on what helmet I should get? I want to get a helmet that meets all or most or the hardest certification to obtain. I prefer my Safety while commuting to work. Also, I'm planning to have a helmet light on it.
Don't want to break the bank.
I can sit out on the bay trail here and watch one commuter come by with helmet, lights, fenders, bell, callin out "On your left", and then see a guy in tight jeans on a fixed gear, hair blowing, earpods and a cigarette hanging from his mouth... I didn't see anyones freedoms being surpressed.
I realize that you are not (or at least no longer) making such claims about the need for helmets. But those who do think that helmets should be worn by cyclists on all rides as protection against serious head injuries should also want the same protection for pedestrians since the risks are similar.
Which is all well and good, but ya'll making the argument know full well that the type of accidents where it's silly to to think a helmet will protect on a bike also wouldn't protect a pedestrian. It's not a good faith comparison
However (my assumption/belief...): since the majority of crashes which involve head injury are not serious, since rate of non-serious head injury and degree of injury in the result of some mishap is lower with pedestrians than cyclists, the pedestrian/bike comparison is just not valid. Cyclists are more apt than pedestrians to be in a position where a helmet might mitigate less than serious injury. <-- no data to back this up, just assumptions and hunch; prove me wrong with actual figures, please.
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
When I was hit by a car a few months ago (previously reported in here - still grieving for the vintage Raleigh) one of my more trivial injuries was a bump on the head. Would a helmet have mitigated that? Maybe, but really, it didn't matter. The fact that I wasn't wearing one made no difference to the outcome. Shoulder pads would have been much more useful. And no, I don't plan on buying any of those, either.
The whole reason I put such a disclaimer out there, at the beginning and end, is to let people know that it's only my personal view, nothing backed up with hard figures. Most people posting here don't do that, they present their beliefs as facts; they are way too loose with language when it comes to their own position, while busting on the same thing regarding statements of those who disagree with them.
Maybe there's not studies out there with hard figures, OK, fine, I can accept that -- then challenge my statement. Is there anyone out there who thinks that pedestrians who suffer some mishap while walking will be injured at a higher (or even, or insignificantly less) rate or severity, compared with a rider who crashes their bike? Why?
Your second paragraph is useless, anecdotal, and therefore dismiss-able. You're probably lucky you weren't wearing a helmet -- might have led to DAI, or if the rotational force transmitted and aggravated by helmet use was enough, could very well have snapped your neck right on the spot!
Glad you're OK; sorry to hear about your Raleigh.

I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
The "helmet people" have focused on bicycling activities; data and/or results are irrelevant, belief in "doing the right thing" trumps both data and rationale thought in this process.
Belief that cycling is dangerous is not limited to the helmet issue. But if people believe that a helmet will provide some kind of magic protection, and that gets them on a bike where otherwise they'd still be too scared, where's the downside regarding helmets...?
I know next to nothing. I am frequently wrong.
Many organized rides and tours or government organizations gratuitously prohibit participation or cycling activity unless the cyclists are wearing helmets. This is due to social pressure (and not mysterious "insurance requirement" that can never be documented) and discourage participation from those not in the helmet choir; the effects of helmet promotion are all downside.

Basketball Documentary Nominated For National Award
May 25, 2010
NEW YORK - The 100 Seasons of UMass Basketball Documentary has been named a nominee for a College Sports Media Award, the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics and the Sports Video Group announced. The documentary, produced by the UMass Media Relations Department, is one of seven finalists in the Collegiate Division 2 Special Feature category. The winner will be announced at the College Sports Video Summit on June 8 in Atlanta.
The following is from the official press release:
The 2010 nominees for the College Sports Media Awards, a competition recognizing excellence in video production at all levels of college sports, have been announced by event sponsors the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) and the Sports Video Group (SVG). Out of more than 130 entries in three categories, the nominees represent outstanding college sports-video productions from campuses across the country as well as commercial college sports videos produced by major television networks and advertising agencies.
The winners of the 2010 College Sports Media Awards will be announced on June 8 during the College Sports Video Summit (CSVS) in Atlanta. For more information about the event, visit www.CSVSummit.com
"NACDA is extremely pleased with the diversity of member institutions and conferences that submitted videos this year," said Bob Vecchione, deputy executive director of NACDA. "It is obvious by the quantity and quality of the nominations that the video content created and managed by our member institutions is becoming a value-added resource for athletic departments as they continually strive to serve their constituencies."
Said Tom Buffolano, College Sports Video Summit Conference chairman, "I am very impressed with the quality of entries for this year's CSMAs, especially in the collegiate divisions. Each year, it seems that video-production technology improves and becomes more affordable so that even those with smaller budgets can elevate their standard of excellence. It also is apparent that students are playing a more significant role in live remote production and postproduction. This trend is encouraging as it means the next generation of production professionals is honing skills in an environment that will prepare them to be immediately successful."
The College Sports Media Awards divide the college-sports-video marketplace into three categories (Collegiate 1 for schools and conferences that compete in Division 1 football; Collegiate 2 for all other schools and their conferences; Corporate/Media for broadcasters and advertising agencies), each featuring the best live events, special features, and promotional videos.

In this paper it is argued that human interpretation is an inherently paradoxical and complex mechanism. Human interpretation is underpinned by values, preferences and contrasts, and assumptions, and surfaced through an idiosyncratic combination of personal choice and logic (Pinker, The blank slate: the modern denial of human nature, 2003). In order to find ways through interpretive diversity, Janusian thinking is a conscious and purposeful mechanism (Rothenberg, Creat Res J 9(2–3):207–231, 1996) that allows each one to think paradoxically. Coping with paradoxes is not only a cognitive challenge in trying to resolve the irresolvable but also an emotional one, as emotion might distort the paradox. Janusian attitudinal mapping allows individuals to face the true paradox and to review the assumptions behind it. Such review may modify or even abolish certain assumptions altogether. However, Janusian attitudinal mapping is an emotional undertaking that should follow the three elements involving social reform for advancing and fostering knowledge: shock, open communication and experimentation, and paradox leadership (Lewis, Acad Manage Rev 25(4):760–786, 2000).

White House finds no evidence of Huawei spying, source says
Last week, Chinese manufacturers Huawei and ZTE were accused of potentially spying for the Chinese government, with the US House Intelligence Committee recommending that both companies be avoided, and that acquisitions and mergers be blocked in the US. A couple days later, Canada reconsidered using Huawei as part of its upcoming government communications network due to the concerns expressed by US lawmakers. Now, according to a Reuter's source, a White House review found no evidence that Huawei is spying.

Sierra Club releases maps showing Oklahoma coal plants could run afoul of emissions rules
Two coal plants operated by Oklahoma Gas and Electric Co. are releasing more sulfur dioxide than will be allowed under upcoming federal regulations, the Sierra Club said Thursday as it kicked off a campaign to inform residents around the Sooner and Muskogee plants.
The Sierra Club said it commissioned an air quality study showing sulfur dioxide emissions that could be harmful to the health of nearby residents in Muskogee and Red Rock. The organization plans to mail copies of its pollution maps to residents in the next few weeks.
OG&E said its plants are operating within the allowable emission limits.
"OG&E is in full compliance today with state and federal air standards," spokesman Brian Alford said. "Our plants are continually monitored by the state. None of the actual monitoring data exceeds National Ambient Air Quality Standards."
The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality, which is responsible for monitoring air quality and implementing federal Clean Air Act rules, said its ambient air monitoring indicates compliance for sulfur dioxide.
"No areas of the state have been designated as being in nonattainment for the standard," department spokeswoman Skylar McElhaney said in an email.
The Sierra Club hired a consultant to perform a modeling analysis on emissions from the Sooner and Muskogee plants. The organization said its analysis of sulfur dioxide emissions came to similar conclusions as a preliminary internal study by the Environmental Protection Agency.
The issue of using modeling analyses or monitoring data is one that is hotly debated within air quality studies. EPA allows both types of measurements for assessing compliance with various regulations.
EPA established new standards for sulfur dioxide emissions in 2010, but their implementation has been delayed as the agency decides how to determine attainment. It is collecting comments on drafts of documents that states will use to implement the new standards.
"We agree that there have been no formal declarations of nonattainment, and that is exactly our point," said Whitney Pearson, organizer for the Sierra Club's Beyond Coal campaign. "We are warning the state and OG&E that unless they reduce emissions, areas in Oklahoma will be designated as nonattainment for SO2 (sulfur dioxide) for the first time."
Pearson said the new standards for sulfur dioxide were based on science and show prior pollution levels were too high to adequately protect health.
The Sierra Club called on the state Department of Environmental Quality and the EPA to enforce the new sulfur dioxide emissions standards and revise operating permits for the coal plants. It also wants OG&E to use more wind energy.
OG&E's Alford said on hot days like Thursday, there isn't enough wind blowing to supply the electricity demands of customers.
"We believe fuel balance is essential," Alford said. "We appreciate the passion, but we have to be realistic about what is achievable and affordable for our customers."
Residents speak out
On a conference call with reporters, the Sierra Club made available members who live near OG&E's coal plants. Muskogee resident Sylvia Swan said she worries about fellow residents with asthma and how long children can play outside in the areas near the plant.
"It's the responsibility of the state and federal agencies to protect us, and it should be the responsibility of OG&E to produce electricity without harming us," Swan said. "It's time to clean up the Muskogee plant now; that's why I've gotten involved in the effort to educate my community about this important issue."
Longtime Osage County cattle rancher Joe Bush said OG&E's Sooner plant is about 30 miles southwest of his ranch headquarters. Although he's not an OG&E customer, Bush said he'd pay more for his electric bill if it meant a cleaner environment.
"I've been concerned about the effects of pollution on my health, my family, my livestock and local wildlife," Bush said.

Commission - Joie by TheEvilNaeWatch
©2014-2016 TheEvilNae
A gift commission I did for a friend for our secret Santa gift exchange. We all had to guess who gave us our gifts. Obviously she guessed it was me right away, but she also immediately claimed to have "won" the gift exchange.
I'm a good gift giver.
This is EPIC. I love the sense of awesome medieval majesty here!
A commission, but also a gift? Was it paid or a surprise?
That's based on a real person? I like the idea. The pic looks great.
Sorry, by that I meant it is in the style of my commissions. Yes it is based on my friend, wearing a costume style she really likes and holding an actual mace she has. She was completely surprised and has since hired me to do similar ones for the rest of here family. I'll be putting those up here soon.
And thank you very much!

Netbackup Fixed Disk Awareness
Netbackup does not appear to be aware of whether I am using Dynamic or Fixed disks on my Hyper-V VMs. I believe it is because this is a System Center Virtual Machine Manager setting, not one on the hosts Failover Cluster or Hyper-V Feature/Role.
Without awareness of a drive being fixed or dynamic, we are seeing our fixed disk VMs being backed up as the total of the fixed disk size, not the used data within the fixed disk .VHD. It is basically backing up blank space. If you could please add this feature, that I believe is included in your VMWare backups, it would save us a lot of wasted backup storage space.
This request is a follow up to Case 418-780-746.
Our environment is: Netbackup 184.108.40.206, System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012, 5 Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter hosts (with Netbackup Media Server).
Thank you.

Farmers reminded of CRP sign-up
The Farm Service Agency announce that FSA will conduct a four-week Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) general sign-up beginning May 20 and ending on June 14.
In recent years, many counties in Mississippi experienced the worst drought in decades. CRP protected environmentally sensitive lands from washing or blowing away. It provided extra grazing land when needed. FSA officials expect there will be strong competition to enroll or re-enroll acres into CRP, so we urge Tunica County producers to maximize their environmental benefits and make sure their offers are cost-effective.
