Works very well.

I have been removing my hair for 16 years. I think it is a good product, very easy to work with and no messy at all. I really like the cloth strips. They made everything easier. It is still a little painful but I don't think there is anyway to reduce it at all. If you are going to remove you hair for the first time, I would recommend that you should watch somebody else doing it before you try on yourself. Read and follow very well the intructions, and be prepared for some messiness in the beginning.
pretty awesome!

I have a little one tub of it and still have, to use it mainly on my face so the fact that I am able to use it cold as well as warmed up "kills two birds with one stone" for me. I have many problem areas and this product proved to be one and the best!

I've tried the product several times on the upper lip. It doesn't remove hair. I went to the online site and watched the video to make sure I was using it right. I even emailed the company. The remover goo feels nice, the cloths and the re-useabililty factor is all good. But doesn't do the job. Now I'm stuck with a product I can't use.

Anyone ever use a Nalgene Wide Mouth Cantene for dry food storage on a long distance thru hike?
I thinking a 96 oz. cantene will hold a lot of dry soup mix and will hold up a lot better than freezer bags to general usage.
Thoughts?Dec 5, 2005 at 8:39 pm #1346575
david fausnightMember
96 oz. seems like an aweful lot of soup mix. It might work very nicely for trail mix or something like that. Smaller platypus bottles like the little nipper or .5 liter might be a bit of a pain to fill, but could work very nicely for things like rice, instant mashed potatoes, or powered milk.Dec 5, 2005 at 8:58 pm #1346576
You can find heavy duty storage bags for food in some gourmet cooking stores..might be a start for you.
Though for me, Glad freezerbags work great for storage. Secret is keeping powders out of the zippers.
The cantene would work-but you might find it bulky over time-and frustrating since it couldn't be used for water.Dec 6, 2005 at 7:14 am #1346589

I use a 16 oz. Nalgene Canteen to carry spaghetti sauce that comes in a bottle. It leaves s thin film of sauce on the inside.
The bulk carry option does not suit my style becasue I measure and bag all portions before the trip.Jan 30, 2006 at 7:31 pm #1349597

Haven't tried it yet but thinking of using the Nalgene Wide Mouth as a rodent proof container for my trail mix.Jan 30, 2006 at 7:43 pm #1349600
David BonnMember
@david_bonnLocale: North Cascades
Rodent proof? Rodents will easily chew through a Nalgene Cantene, and probably any Nalgene Jar (the lids would be the easiest part to get through).
I'm a big fan of ziploc bags myself. Rodent proof usually means nicely hung from a tree branch with a piece of metal (like a small 'biner or a hardware store snaplink) that the mice can't climb over.Jan 30, 2006 at 8:08 pm #1349608
Rember rodents have very sharp teeth, and they will hang out for a loooong time if they smell a free dinner. Not much is rodent proof/resistant-besides metal and things like Ursacks and bear canisters.Jan 31, 2006 at 5:34 pm #1349650
Mike StoresundMember
>> Not much is rodent proof/resistant-besides metal and things like Ursacks and bear canisters. < < Even Ursack advises that sharp teeth like those from canines, felines and rodents are able to get through their material. Apparently bear teeth are more rounded than these other species. From the Ursack FAQ page:
"Is Ursack resistant to rodents, marmots, wolves, etc? – Ursack is highly effective against Marmots and raccoons. It should not be considered wolf or dog resistant. That's because they have sharp teeth and strong jaws. Bears have great strength, but their teeth are not sharp. Other rodents have varying degrees of success. Sometimes mice can chew very small holes, but very little of your food is likely to be taken. Some species of squirrels and (we have heard) pine martens have greater success, and may on rare occasion chew holes in Ursack."Jan 31, 2006 at 5:42 pm #1349652
As I said, they are resistant ;-) Though, in about 5 years not one has gotten into my Ursack. Woke up one morning to find my Ursack covered in chipmunk poo….the had been on my bag probably the whole night-and left their (blech!) calling card of frustration. Lol….Feb 15, 2006 at 11:03 am #1350604

I use a 32 oz. nalgene wide-mouthed hard-sided bottle to carry my energy bars in when I overnight. It is waterproof, bugproof and has been rodent proof so far.
Has anyone tried a "ratsack"? They used to advertise in Backpacker Mag., but haven't seen an add lately. For about the same weight as an Ursack, they appear to be racoon, mouse, skunk, possum and squirrel proof!!!Feb 15, 2006 at 11:16 am #1350605

@cbertLocale: N. CaliforniaFeb 15, 2006 at 4:19 pm #1350611
Very timely question, as I'm currently debating with myself as to whether I want to get an Ursack or a Ratsack to protect my food. I would, of course, use an odor barrier (similar to the O.P. Sack) with whatever I decide to get – the theory being if they can't smell it, they won't know it's there and thus it won't get eatten.Feb 15, 2006 at 4:24 pm #1350612
cary bertonciniMember
@cbertLocale: N. California
the little buggers understand the theory, too!
i personally think odor barrier is 90% of the battle.
and of course the other 10% is half mental!Feb 15, 2006 at 6:16 pm #1350620
I use an Ursack, but that is becuase I hike in black bear country the majority of the time. I have had mine for near 5 years. Most of my friends have Ursacks-when we go on our big trips, we have a literal musuem of Ursacks-every style ever made…lol!Feb 15, 2006 at 9:08 pm #1350626
Sarbar –
Do you use the aluminum liner with your Ursack or do you just use the Ursack by itself?Feb 16, 2006 at 7:41 am #1350633
By itself. I'd like to get one of the metal liners..I just haven't gotten around to it.
The only animal I don't trust my Ursack to is racoons. So when I coastal hike, I use an, ugh, bear canister.
Thing is, I don't carry food that can really be wrecked if I do ever encounter a nasty bear (and in all the years of using it, chipmunks are the pestiest thing!!). I know people ask "what if your food gets crushed?" and my reply is…if your food is dry already, it isn't going to get any more crushed ;-) I do carry things like olive oil in the center, just in case.Feb 16, 2006 at 11:58 am #1350639
Sarbar – So what you're saying is that you have both because you need a hard sided bear container for protection from raccoons.
For those of us who don't want to invest in both an Ursack or bear container, wouldn't a bear container alone be the more practical of the two choices?
I'm trying to invest my resources ($$$) wisely.Feb 16, 2006 at 1:35 pm #1350648
Doug HileMember
I have used and still use a rat sack they are great at keeping out Grand Canyon pests. I think they would stop a racoon if hung in a tree.
Weight is not bad, better than a canister.Feb 16, 2006 at 3:25 pm #1350658
I rent the canisters from the WIC at Olympic NP, when I need one (a $3 donation). I refuse to buy one ;-) I only have to use one when I coastal hike.
When I hike at Mt. Rainier NP, they love hikers so much they have bear poles in every camp. When going X/C or anywhere else, I take the Ursack.Feb 17, 2006 at 9:59 pm #1350740
Your comments really have helped me. Looks like I'm getting an Ursack.Oct 28, 2009 at 7:57 pm #1540685
Billy HuesganMember
I see this discussion is a few years old, but for what it's worth I would suggest a GrubPack. I've discussed this on another page in the past. It's a wire mesh bag for keep rodents out of your food. It's light, strong and affordable. I'm sure you can find it with a google search.Nov 6, 2009 at 3:04 am #1543308
Scott IrelandBPL Member
@winterwarlockLocale: Western NY
Looks like the Grubpack and Ratsak are two versions of essentially the same thing…both wire mesh that prevents gnawing thru. I see most folks here are from the west, but here in the Adirondacks we have to use bear canisters – they're required a good part of the year in a good part of the ADK's. With that said, most retailers rent the canisters, but I've never seen anyone here that rents any of the sack type systems.

Visit the
MSc Regional and Urban Planning Studies
page on the London School of Economics and Political Science website for more details!
I was attracted to LSE by its reputation, and then of course the fact that the programme suited my interests. The programme covers a lot of different aspects of regional/urban geography, and one of its great strengths is the way London is used as a case. Most of the subjects discussed in class can be related to the world right outside the classroom. The teaching is of very high quality, and I love the fact that the social life within the programme is very good. Living in London is great but for me the most important thing is that LSE is such an international university. Almost everybody comes from abroad and that has two positive consequences. Firstly, people have many different experiences which they can contribute to the teaching; and secondly you don't feel like you are a foreigner – because everybody is that, and people are very open towards you. The variety of activities which are not directly related to study is impressive. I'm thinking of the societies, the Careers Service, the Language Centre and especially all the public lectures, which have been very interesting to follow. Once I leave LSE, I will be working as an analyst in a consulting firm in Copenhagen, working within the field of regional policy and local economic development.
LSE's planning programme provides a unique approach to urban planning, it's designed to help you understand urban policy as an integrated toolkit bridging the social, political and economic aspects to foster urban development.One of LSE's advantages is that it provides an unbeatable platform from which to build international networks. My background was in sustainable transport, so this programme seemed ideal as it would broaden and complement my work experience with new fields of analysis and I also sought to strengthen my technical skills for economic analysis. The best thing about the programme though was being able to build my own degree, thanks to the wide choice of optional courses.Studying at LSE has numerous advantages. I was so impressed by the quality of the public lectures offered on a daily basis – bringing top politicians, scientists, Nobel Prize winners and presidents to talk to us. It's a truly international university which creates a very interesting atmosphere – you meet people from places you would never have imagined! Of course, its location in central London is second to none – you are within walking distance of some of the best entertainment options in town.The flexibility of my programme has allowed me to devote considerable time to my final research project on the urban and transport policy in Mexico City. My interest is to diagnose Mexico's current and future institutional challenges in this sector and provide a small yet significant contribution to its overall situation. After learning fieldwork techniques at LSE, I went to Mexico City where I interviewed some high level decision-makers who were very happy to contribute to my research project. When you go knocking on doors with the LSE name behind you, I feel as if people want to welcome you and really show an interest in your work.My hope for the future is to get involved directly in policy research and implementation for urban development in Latin America. There is now a growing interest in investing in urban infrastructure in this region but there is also an urgent need to set down some guidelines to prevent urban sprawl, improve connectivity and protect the environment.

Questions and Answers on Successfully Growing Rhododendrons
Let me note that Azalea and Rhodendron are now lumped together as one plant rather than being separated in botanical classification.
Soil Conditions
They all prefer acidic soils. This means that the soil the roots are in (twice the width of the plant) should be acidic.
Too many gardeners expect to toss a little acidic fertilizer on the plants and have the plants thrive. This will work in the short term but in the longer term, an unhappy plant will simply slowly fade away over several years.
The solution is to acidify the entire bed using sulphur and peat moss as acidifying agents. And to monitor this acidity levels (somewhere down around 5.0 is good) on a yearly basis as the soil will tend to return to the acidity level of the surrounding soil.
There is some work that suggests that applying compost tea (made from a high quality compost and including leaf debris/mold) will enable rhododendrons to survive in regular soils. The bacteria added enable the plants to feed. I have not done this so can't really comment on how accurate it is but it is likely worth a try if you're having troubles.
Winter Hardiness
The most common species sold in garden shops is R. catawbiense and its hybrids so the following information is aimed at the general gardener and this plant. In general, the plant is bud hardy to -15F.
Some cultivars are hardier to lower temperaturs than this. So if your plant isn't blooming, and the winter temperatures got lower than this, you know the buds were frozen off.
Now plant hardiness is slightly colder than that with plants themselves surviving down into USDA zone 4. A hardier plant is 'Northern Lights' - this is a deciduous hybrid that is bud and plant hardy down to -45F.
I've grown these fragrant flowering plants and they are very good plants for beginning gardeners (and this advanced gardener too I note)
Here's where a lot of gardeners get themselves in trouble. This plant does not like full *winter* sunshine.
When exposed to the hot sun during winter months, the broad leaf species leaves warm up and then the stomata (sweat cells) open up allowing the leaf to lose moisture. The roots are in frozen ground so they are unable to replace this lost moisture.
The leaf browns off because of moisture loss.
Excessive wind will create a similar situation but the end result of both is a browning of the leaf edges or a complete browning of exposed leaf surfaces.
The plant will survive summer sunshine better than winter sunshine.
The ideal place is a location where the rhododendron is protected from the noon sun throughout the year.
Questions & Answers
What do I feed my Rhododendron?
Compost. This is a woody plant - no more and no less - and it responds like any other woody plant to food. As long as you have the soil acidity right, then compost is an ideal food.
My Rhododendron has brown leaves, will it live?
See the above note re sunshine location. Will it live? Darned if I know. Some times a plant can be defoliated two or three times and it will survive. Some times it only takes once. But as long as the stems aren't brittle and there's green under the tender bark (scratch with your thumb) then there's hope.
Click Here For Gardening For Beginner Gardening ebook
How do I propagate my plant?
Seeds work well for the most part. Cuttings are tricky; you're going to need rooting hormone, bottom heat, mist systems and 2-4 months from an August semi-hardwood cutting to get them to root up properly. You can try a spring softwood cutting but these are not usually reliable. If you're a home gardener, go with seed from your own plant.
What's the hardiest variety?
'Northern Lights' and they come in shades of orange and yellow and the flowers are sweetly fragrant. I grew this plant in my old garden (this new garden is on limestone so I rather doubt I'll be able to get the acidity necessary) and I loved it.
I got an azalea for Mother's Day -will it live outside?
These are florists azalea and are not considered hardy unless you live in a USDA zone 8 or so. Very tender plant but you can try. :-)

For 2 years more than 60 volunteers have been sewing camouflage quilts for deployed soldiers at Pilgrim Lutheran School. The project began in Plymouth, WI in 2006 when a mom was asked by her son-in-law to make a quilt he could use when deployed in Iraq. The project mushroomed when other deployed soldiers wanted quilts, also. Soon many in Plymouth were cutting, pinning and sewing quilts at a donated warehouse in Plymouth.
Pilgrim became the Milwaukee area site as Milwaukee volunteers wanted to help, but felt the trip to Plymouth was too far to go. There was unused space when Pilgrim school was closed and the building was vacant. In the fall of 2012 the school will reopen as a LUMINS Choice school and the CamoQuilt Project will need to find a new place to work.
Since the first quilt was made, over 15,000 quilts have been made by volunteers and are distributed, free of charge, to any deployed soldier serving in the Middle East. Last April the CQP was awarded $10,000 from the Make A Difference Foundation and written about in the April 10th issue of the USA Weekend. There are five locations in Wisconsin that hold regular workshops. Some quilt groups in other states have also helped with the project. More can be learned about the project by visiting camoquiltproject.blogspot.com.
Since all donations to the CQP are spent on purchasing the materials for the quilts and all labor is strictly volunteer, there are no funds to pay for rent or utilities at another site. The plea is going out for a new location that could be donated and used strictly as a desire to show our support and backing of the men and women who are willing to sacrifice for their country. Anyone with ideas of a place that might work is asked to contact Ruth at (414) 476-0472. Let's see what can be done to keep the sewing machines humming!

Movies Shut Down??Mature
The Daily Platypus
Arsonist, Florida
March 19th, 2010
Early Saturday morning, the Association of Motion Pictures claimed that movies may be shut down to illegal downloading of them all on the Internet. While the Internet does have great bootleg copies, people say that if you want good movies, buy them. No new news on this subject, however Seth Rogan says that he will no longer be featured in comedies.

The game just arrived in the mail today, I have played 5 races so far and it has massively locked up my ps3 4 times now, always whilst it is loading something, incredibly annoying. I have the 60GB PS3.
Anyone else having these problems? :\
Edit: Crashed a 5th time before the game even loaded. And these arent just minor crashes either, holding down the power button makes the screen go black, but you have to hold the power button for about 15 seconds for it to turn off.
My Ps3 has never had any problems, locked up once when watching a blu-ray movie, and the usual amount expected with buggy PSN games.
Pretty pissed off, was really looking forward to this game.
Edit 2: Now it refuses to eject the disc, with Error 80010514
Getting the feeling its my PS3 and not Split/Second, but still, this is the first game thats had this effect on it :(
Edit 3: Ok, it was the PS3 :(
Disc Drive has stopped reading any discs now, and struggles to eject them. Moderators could go ahead and delete this topic if they want, dont want to put customers off of this great game.
Unless of course it was Split/second that broke the disc drive.....

By Nanci Hellmich, USA TODAY
This is the second week of USA TODAY's eight-part Family Fitness Challenge. Join us for the next six Mondays as we offer activities designed to help your family get fit. The hope is that, at the end of the series, everyone will be in better shape — and will have had a blast.
USA TODAY's Nanci Hellmich worked with top nutrition and fitness experts to create fun recreational challenges for you and your family to do together.
Week 2 challenge: Stage a sports competition.
Split the family into two teams and host a day of friendly competition in several games and sports — table tennis, relay races, basketball, swimming.
Give points for the winners and have the losing team cook a healthful dinner for the winners.
If possible, get pedometers for everyone and wear them for the day. See how many steps everyone in the family takes and give an award to the person who takes the most.
KID-FRIENDLY RECIPE: Hummus heads
It was the ladies vs. the gentlemen for the Hoeltke family's first sports competition.
Over the course of six hours one Sunday afternoon, the family of four in Louisville played table tennis, volleyball and the basketball game "horse." They also had a bike race, 100-meter dash and an obstacle-course race.
"Our competitive spirits were coming out, and we were talking about mopping the floor with each other," says mom Kisa, 33. The family also includes Lance, 34, Maya, 12, and Milton, 9.
This is the second week of USA TODAY's Family Fitness Challenge.
8 WEEKS: Getting fit, having fun together
Some families, including the Hoeltkes, already have tried out the Challenge ideas and are sharing their experiences in the newspaper and at dietchallenge.usatoday.com. Their goal: to inspire other families to get in better shape this summer.
Like many others, the Hoeltkes struggle to find the time "to eat right and exercise consistently under the time crunch of four hectic schedules," says Lance, a former football player for the University of South Florida Bulls. "It's easy to break down and get fast food, or skip a couple days of exercise."
Still, they are making an effort. "We do calisthenics together, walk a local nature trail on occasion and run through the neighborhood," he says.
The Challenge sports competition gave them the opportunity to build on that and do more.
They had special T-shirts made up for this year's event, and Lance organized the teams.
"It wasn't meant to be a battle of the sexes, but (Milton) is the youngest, and I've got a leg up on my wife, so I thought myself and the youngest child would be the most fair matchup," he says.
Maya says she was tired after the bicycle race, and Milton says he was dragging a little by the end of the day.
The guys won by a landslide, and then everyone pitched in to cook up a healthy barbecue chicken and turkey burger dinner, with fresh corn on the cob and salad.
They all rated the afternoon a 4 or 5.
Next year, they plan to expand the event to include an opening ceremony with music and lighting, and they might even give their dog a token role.
"We can grow it and make it a little bigger and better each year," Lance says.

Chapter Seven, Part Five: The Great Northern CaveMature
"In a moment." The Master gripes, shoving a hand down across the Doctor's belly and forcing him back down. "What's funny is you think you're actually going. Where's your sense of duty to that child?"
The Doctor smiles. "Duty? Duty is as duty does. I care about your –girlfriend- just as much as you do. Now leave off- I'm going to visit Jack. And Koschei…" his eyes glitter like flecks of goldstone suddenly, and he watches the Master's upper body dart back in hindbrain fear, despite itself. "…touch me like that again and I'll have your head for breakfast on my best silver."
"…somehow I don't doubt it, Theta. Very well. I'll never understand you and your bloody mood swings."
As the two men leave from opposite doors, Rassilon grabs his chin and tilts his head in the Doctor's direction.
"… as always, you are a source of endless fascination, old friend. See that you don't lose sight of the goal, as I did."

The ongoing battle against the pay-gap hit a bump when a certain thigh-gap high school dyke-until-graduation made a boo-boo in her #SoBrave yearbook quote.
See if you can spot it, TRSwaggots. Put that white higher average IQ to work and see what you can see.
I had no idea that men made 133.33333333333 times as much money as wymynz! Feels good, man.
It's a damned good stroke of luck that this bitch is into the gash, because there's no way a man could trust her with the baking! God forbid if she had to double a recipe. Making a sandwich is usually the internet standard for wifely submission, but really, sandwiches don't require decimal points or compound fractions.
I'm guessing that this kind of Standard Calculation Fuckparty is the reason only .1488% of STEM degrees are awarded to the ladies?
At the risk of entering autism overdrive, I'm pretty sure "cent" should be plural. Dan Quayle is rolling over in his Basic Bitch Cuckservative political grave.
Gender equality really is the best, and this brave young wymmyns act of defiance and strength in the face of decimal point and grammar oppression has completely shattered my preconceived notions of electric vs. natural gas.
(When you use Natural Gas, it's like, you're ovenning them AND gassing them! GAAAAAAASSS!!!")

This year's Art on the Block is themed The Art of the Hunt and will feature choice tunes, delectable bites and stealthy bidding. Featuring over 80 diverse artworks by Albertan and Canadian artists, there is something for everyone, from aspiring to established art collectors. More than a dozen art-inspired items will also be featured, such as unique culinary experiences, jewellery and fashion packages and exclusive access to AGA events.

It offers avid and aspiring art collectors a chance to take home investment-quality works of art by recognized Canadian artists, while supporting the AGA's unique education and public programs and the ongoing presentation of engaging exhibitions. Net proceeds from ticket sales, bids, donations and sponsorships help to bring art into the lives of thousands of Albertans each year. Nearly 60,000 students alone have benefitted from school tours, art classes and special needs programs since the new AGA opened in 2010.
The Art Gallery of Alberta is a centre of excellence for the visual arts in Western Canada, connecting people, art and ideas. The AGA is focused on the development and presentation of original exhibitions of contemporary and historical art from Alberta, Canada and around the world. The AGA also offers a full-range of art education and public programs. Founded in 1924, the Art Gallery of Alberta maintains a collection of more than 6,000 objects and is the oldest cultural institution in Alberta. It is the only museum in the province solely dedicated to the exhibition and preservation of art and visual culture.
The Art Gallery of Alberta is a not-for-profit organization that relies on the support of its Members, donors, sponsors and government. The AGA is grateful for the generous support of the many public and private donors and sponsors who have made the AGA's New Vision possible, as well as the ongoing support of the City of Edmonton, the Alberta Foundation for the Arts, The Canada Council for the Arts and our Members.

Ranking startups, TPPPT scale
Matt Nunogawa stashed this in Fixitfixitfixit!
Stashed in:
For Hackers and Founders Angel Office Hours, we used the TPPPT (pronounced tippet) scale. It seemed to work really well. Most of the high scoring startups (4+) got a thumbs up from Naval. Lower scoring startups mostly got panned.
- Team: Do you have a technical cofounder?
- Pitch: Do you have one and is it short?
- Product/Prototype: Do you have one?
- social Proof: Do you have any?
- Traction: Can you show growth metrics?
The characteristics summarized by TPPPT are only correlated with successful startups. It is designed to be an indicator or heuristic, not a guarantee.
Curious what others think about this. Are there any other ranking/rating systems for early stage startups?
A detailed breakdown of the TPPPT scale can be found here: http://amattn.com/2011/11/25/tpppt_scale.html
I first encountered TPPPT in Naval's 5 qualities of exceptional startups.
I think that this system leads to false positives and false negatives, and overall selects for a more homogenous type of company because:
Technical co-founders can go astray due to arrogance or ignorance; they also regularly quit or are fired.
Pitch is ever-changing due to a culture of pivots.
Having a product/prototype is easy, but having a good one is not.
There are so many people in the game that social proof does not mean what it used to.
Traction can plateau, reverse, or just stop without warning.
False positive: Pizza and Pipes. Technical co-founder (me); Pitch: great ingredients, great pizza; Product: pizza and beer; Social proof: more than a thousand customers a month; Traction: revenues growing month-over-month since we started. Would this be a good candidate for Angel office hours? No.
False negative: 2008-era Airbnb. Technical co-founder was a known spammer, and the other two co-founders are designers; Pitch: even Fred Wilson doubted it; Social proof: all investors thought it was too small; Product and Traction: had to be abandoned to sell breakfast cereal. Fast forward to 2011 and it's a billion dollar company.
Despite potential for false positives and false negatives, I think this system is better than most when it comes to evaluating an early stage consumer Internet or enterprise software-as-a-service company in 2011. Those are all valuable qualities, and having them gives a company higher chance of success, imho.
Adam, is your main point that the TPPPT system does not take any account of the size of the idea? In fact it might tend to favor the small ideas over the big hairy ones.
That's my main point, yes.
Pizza and Pipes, which is a small idea, ranks highly.
Airbnb, which is a big idea that took a while to prove its market, ranked poorly in 2008 when they needed help most.
Specific feedback for the TPPPT article:
Team -- I love the phrase "relentlessly resourceful", but it's hard to get a feel for team working dynamics on a first meeting.
Pitch -- Be weary of the Hollywood Style "Die Hard on a Bus" pitches. Be mindful of whether the pitch is addressing a great market. Team-Market Fit is more important than product-market fit.
Product -- Make sure the product is not optimizing anything prematurely.
Social Proof -- What we're really looking for here is that a team isn't bringing a product to market in isolation. Who else is helping?
Traction -- Is the hardest to call. Is there any such thing as "enough traction"? Favstar.fm does millions of monthly pageviews -- is it enough? Depends on who you ask. When push comes to shove, it becomes hard to quantify how much traction is needed to matter.
Traction is definitely FAR FAR FAAAARRRR more subjective than inexperienced VCs would have you believe. Every momentum investor says that they want to get in your deal right before you start to hockey-stick... but as Adam points out, there's a lot of interpretation involved in even the seemingly "objective" act of looking at a graph. And honestly, do most engineer founders really want a momentum investor in their early-stage deals? :)

Information received at the recent public hearing for the school budget clearly indicates that the answer os the cost of the teacher's salaries and benefits. For the 2011-2012 school year the cost of the teacher's salaries and benefits are $32,610,905, and $14,970,069, respectively. For the 2012-2013 school year the teacher's salaries and benefits are $33,995,062 and $15,497,062, respectively.
The increase in the costs for the salaries and benefits are $33,995,062 - $32,610,905 equals $1,384,157 and $15,497,062-$14,970,069 equals $556,993, respectively. This represents an increase in the school budget of $1.941,150 ($1,384,157 plus $556,993 equals $1,941,150) which is approximately $2 million of the deficit. The reason for the increase in the school budget is the consistent annual increase in the teacher's salaries and benefits. Where in the private sector do employees receive consistent annual raises? It's time foe the Torrington Board of Education to control the teacher's union by informing them that, although the city does not have substantial funds available, they are receptive to giving the teachers annual increases in salaries and benefits, however, some teachers must be terminated so the city will have funds available for the increased budget cost. The city administrators must realize that the taxpayer can't afford any more increases. Years ago when this city had multiple factories that paid the major portion of the taxes it is understandable that the education budget could increase but today the tax burden os on the property owner. Wake up city administration and learn to fight the union so that we taxpayers don't go bankrupt.

Former Buckeye coach offered president's job at Youngstown State
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WTVN) --Former Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is expected to become the next president at Youngstown State University.
YSU's Board of Trustees formally offered him the job Friday morning.
Their decision comes a day after trustees at the University of Akron chose former University of Toledo vice-president Scott Scarborough over Tressel as their next president.
Tressel currently serves as Executive Vice President for Student Success at the University of Akron and was the head football coach at Youngstown State before coming to Ohio State.
Tressel would become Youngstown State's ninth president, succeeding Randy J. Dunn, who resigned in March to become president of Southern Illinois University.

Overcoming function annotation errors in the Gram-positive pathogen
Annotation of protein-coding genes is a key step in sequencing projects. Protein functions are mainly assigned on the basis of the amino acid sequence alone by searching of homologous proteins. However, fully automated annotation processes often lead to wrong prediction of protein functions, and therefore time-intensive manual curation is often essential. Here we describe a fast and reliable way to correct function annotation in sequencing projects, focusing on surface proteomes. We use a proteomics approach, previously proven to be very powerful for identifying new vaccine candidates against Gram-positive pathogens. It consists of shaving the surface of intact cells with two proteases, the specific cleavage-site trypsin and the unspecific proteinase K, followed by LC/MS/MS analysis of the resulting peptides. The identified proteins are contrasted by computational analysis and their sequences are inspected to correct possible errors in function prediction.
When applied to the zoonotic pathogen
We illustrate the complementary nature of laboratory-based and computational methods to examine in concert the localization of a set of proteins in the cell, and demonstrate the utility of this proteomics-based strategy to experimentally correct function annotation errors in sequencing projects. This approach also contributes to provide strong experimental evidences that can be used to annotate those proteins for which a Gene Ontology (GO) term has not been assigned so far. Function annotation correction would then improve the identification of surface-associated proteins in bacterial pathogens, thus accelerating the discovery of new vaccines in infectious disease research.
A crucial goal of whole-genome sequencing projects is the annotation of protein-coding genes
A consequence of the overwhelming amount of sequence information is that only a small fraction of predicted proteins have their function experimentally validated, by means of actual cellular localization, activity, etc
Here we present a new utility of a proteomics approach, which has proven to be very powerful for identifying new vaccine candidates against Gram-positive bacterial pathogens, focusing on surface proteomes
Figure 1
Identification of surface proteins by shaving of the surface of live cells and LC/MS/MS analysis
Identification of surface proteins by shaving of the surface of live cells and LC/MS/MS analysis. Bacteria were grown at mid-exponential phase and harvested by centrifugation. After washing in PBS, they were resuspended in incubation buffer and digested with a protease. Supernatants containing the released peptides were recovered, and an aliquot was re-digested with the same protease to make remaining large polypeptides more amenable to LC/MS/MS analysis. Pellets consisting of the shaved bacteria were plated onto blood-agar plates to test cell viability.
Results and discussion
Validation of subcellular location by combining proteomics with computational analysis
Treating the cells with two different proteases (trypsin, which cleaves specifically after lysine or arginine residues; and proteinase K, a protease that cleaves peptide bonds unspecifically, in conditions mild enough to avoid a complete degradation of peptides into single amino acids), we identified 28 proteins (Table

Automatic annotation of protein functions often results in different types of errors, some of which can be overcome by combining manual annotation and experimental evidence
Overcoming false positives from cytoplasmic contamination
One of the most controversial aspects of experimental approaches to identify surface proteins is that, very often, cross-contamination by cytoplasmic proteins is found (sometimes in large amounts) when subcellular fractionation by classical biochemical methods are used. Highly abundant cytoplasmic proteins, like enolase, elongation factors, GroEL/ES chaperonins or ribosomal proteins are frequently observed contaminants in membrane/surface protein/secretome fractions; however, many studies do not address this fact. This leads to false positives in the resulting datasets
In the present study, all the identified proteins had exporting or retention signals towards the outside and/or the surface of the cell
The approach here used has been demonstrated to work well with Gram-positive organisms, as they have a rigid cell wall that could make them more resistant to lysis than other types of cells. In the analyses here presented for the studied strain 235/02, no lysis took place, that is: neither cytoplasmic proteins were identified, nor lower viable counts for protease-treated cells were found. In the genus
The proteomic approach here applied, combined with computational analyses, is an optimal way to address these problems.
We report a high-throughput proteomics strategy to experimentally validate and correct function annotation errors from predictions made by computational analysis. Proteins with wrongly predicted functions present in the experimentally determined surface proteome are revisited and their sequences manually inspected. Function annotation correction would then lead to new discoveries, thus accelerating the discovery of new vaccines in infectious disease research, to improving the identification of surface-associated proteins in bacterial pathogens. In this work, we have shown that two putative new adhesins of

LC/MS/MS analysis
All analyses were performed with a Surveyor HPLC System in tandem with a Finnigan LTQ mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific, San Jose, USA) equipped with nanoelectrospray ionization interface (nESI). The separation column was 150 mm × 0.150 mm ProteoPep2 C18 (New Objective, USA) at a postsplit flow rate of 1 μl/min. For trapping of the digest a 5 mm × 0.3 mm precolumn Zorbax 300 SB-C18 (Agilent Technologies, Germany) was used. One fourth of the total sample volume, corresponding to 5 μl, was trapped at a flow rate of 10 μl/min for 10 minutes and 5% acetonitrile/0.1% formic acid. After that, the trapping column was switched on-line with the separation column and the gradient was started. Peptides were eluted with a 60-min gradient of 5–40% of acetonitrile/0.1% formic acid solution at a 250 nl/min flow rate. All separations were performed using a gradient of 5–40% solvent B for 60 minutes. MS data (Full Scan) were acquired in the positive ion mode over the 400–1500 m/z range. MS/MS data were acquired in dependent scan mode, selecting automatically the five most intense ions for fragmentation, with dynamic exclusion set to on. In all cases, a nESI spray voltage of 1.9 kV was used.

I haven't seen any issues with it other than this one, but I don't want to keep a box that is potentially faulty.

The shocking revelation came as the two 16-year-olds appeared at Uxbridge Youth Court in West London where solicitors fought hard but unsuccessfully for them to be given bail.
One of the reasons for them being remanded in custody is the fear that they would become targets for the community in which Kieran lived with his mother Antoinette in Fulham, South-West London.
It has been revealed that the names of witnesses were released 'by accident' to defence
teams after an identity parade. One detective said: 'The defendants' representatives have been made aware of the names. They know the names and there is no going back on that.'
The astonishing blunder has echoes of the report into the death of Stephen Lawrence in which eight police informants were accidentally named and had to be rehoused.
Kieran died a week ago as he walked home with a friend from a shop where he had bought gel to ease the pain from his new teeth braces. The discomfort had forced him to stay off school.
The boys were attacked by a gang wearing bandannas and masks who demanded money and the ?79 mobile phone Kieran had been given by his mother for his birthday only two weeks earlier.
The court heard that he died from a knife wound through the heart after 'a violent single blow' to his chest. The knife has still not been found. The two alleged murderers, who live in South-West London, were born within a few weeks of each other. Their identities cannot be disclosed for legal reasons because of their age.
As the pair entered the courtroom for the 90-minute hearing surrounded by a small squad of yellow-shirted Securicor guards, the court clerk said: 'Sit down, please.'
One of the boys was wearing a pale blue polo shirt, a brand of designer jeans that David Beckham is said to admire and Nike trainers.
He was waiting for the results of nine GCSEs, the court was told.
His mother cuddled up to him on the brown leatherette seats and waited for his father to arrive from a separate address in South-East London.
A Securicor man sat on the other side next to the second boy, while tearful friends and relatives had to stay in the waiting room.
The second boy wore a beige T-shirt, blue tracksuit bottoms and soft black shoes. The only person with him was his denim-jacketed mother.
Watched by two detectives from Scotland Yard's Serious Crime Directorate, Jacqueline Lyon, from the Crown Prosecution Service, outlined the evidence from a mass of files and green folders in front of her.
The boys' solicitors, Andy Hill and Michael Kalber, tried to win them bail but after a long adjournment the magistrates said they would be remanded in custody until Old Bailey committal proceedings in a month's time.
The defendant in the polo shirt and jeans cuddled his parents and kissed them before the Securicor guards escorted him away. The other boy had already gone.

Just like in any item of clothing, there can be many styles of coats and jackets out there to choose from. Although they are a necessity during the colder times, they can still be used as a means to dress up and be stylish. A fur or sheepskin coat are both very warm and luxurious at the same time.
Choosing the right one for the occasion is key. Because they are available in all lengths and various colors, they may not be appropriate for all the time. Here are some important tips to know what to wear for a specific event:
1. Stole
A fur coat that is only on your shoulders is a great outer layer on formal occasions, like going to the ball or the opera in your finest evening gown.
2. Vest
This is more appropriate for casual days, also when it is not too cold for a full jacket. What makes them stylish is the fact that it provides a furrier layer that instantly glams up your outfit.
3. Bolero
A cape version with sleeves will not hide what you are wearing underneath and still keep you warm.
4. Full length
There is nothing more elegant than a full mink coat, perfect for very important appointments and formal events when you want to wow everyone.
5. Three-quarter length
This is a more flexible piece, making it the best first investment. The reason for this is that they can be worn on both casual and dressier occasions.
6. Short or cropped
This is one of the most fashionable versions that can be worn also for outdoor activities.
Beyond the length, another important thing to consider is the color. Different furs have their own shade that distinguishes them from one another too. For example, rabbit can be found in natural or brown shades, while fox is normally in red, white, silver or black hues. Chinchilla is blue or silver and mink can be bought in black, white, brown or gray versions. Shearling can also be bought in most brown hues, as well as black, gray, white and even red.
Black is, of course, the most appropriate for formal events, whereas brown has a more casual look. Natural shades can also be quite flexible.
Although not the cheapest coats out there, fur and sheepskin are wonderful options for very chilly days, and for those who want to stand out. They have the texture to make them anything but boring, and can easily turn every head. This makes them worth every dollar, especially since with proper care, they can last you many years....MORE LESS

The Deeper Shadow
Within the shadows, a Deeper Shadow breathes. He is the emptiness within the nothingness; the end beyond the end.
He has always been with us, those of us who have felt the cold shudder that can pass through a soul when fear becomes incarnate in the world. He is the unseen designer of those childhood nightmares we don't talk about in our grown up days. We tuck those nights of darkness in the attics of our memory. But we still know him. He never really leaves us be. He is that silent scream that stabbed our innocence with heart pounding terror, who back then made us cry and who now makes us worry.
This Deeper Shadow who relentlessly waits for us with all his predatory patience, we can hear his hissing whispers out there in the unseen, the unknown, the unwanted silence that haunts us so.
Hear him. Surely you must hear his softly whispered words. "Mortal, I am here. Come nearer. Do not flee. Surrender and I shall be merciful."
And flee, we will not. For in our instinct we know that our breaking into panicked flight would mean surely the death of us. It is that desperation that feeds the shadow's power; it is the fear itself that ignites the deathly blaze in the hunter's golden eye; it is the fear that fuels his savage snarl; it is the fear that satisfies his ravenous hunger that drives him so. It is the fear he must have, his blood demands it. Yes, it is the fear he loves. And he knows we somehow love it too.
