Oh..... that was cold Mikial.
BTW, good afternoon to you.
I'm just having some fun with Sago1. I like folks that have opinions and aren't scared to share them.
Afternoon ABQ.
Blistering hot hear in western NY State. This ain't right.
You got A/C right? Back when I lived in Rochester, I remember the summers and always likened them to living in "he77" because I didnt have A/C or a pool.
that is particularly funny as we all know what sort of relationship Bill has with kickers. I'm positive that he and Vini were real tight
Yet Bill told Adam the best advice was to stay where he was (patriots) because he was such a local hero and had it made.
Couple of other things to think about.
Bill had a short stay at New England so maybe he did not have as strong of a connection with Adam as Adam was brought in by bill and was not as known as the great kicker at that time.
Another thing to consider. Bill did not bring Adam to the Jets after he left the Pats.
Stop moaning and groaning about "hot" in NY!
Come out West if you want HOT! And, that goes for the ladies out here, too!
I want a kicker, who can kick, punt, and kick off. Are all these specialties really that different?
Depends what part of west you are talking about.
With some places there is dry heat.
I know here in WV the humidity has been terrible.
So far I can think of only one day this summer (free of rain) where it was not so bad with humidity that it has been so hazy that it looks like early morning fog.
Just been terrible this summer.
I have lived in dry heat and areas and areas with bad humidity.
Dry heat may be more dangerous because you don't realize how much fluid you lose but the high humidity areas are just miserable and worse IMO.
And I remember you had people jumping on his case because that comment seemed like Coach Parcells was steering him away from Dallas.:laugh2:
Well you gotta remember...Bill is only here to destroy the team because he is really here to help the Giants. :
Actually he did, problem was they weren't on kickoffs but on missed 25 yard FGs.
That's not "all". He had nine total touchbacks. And that was supposedly his strength. In comparison, Rackers had 22. That's booming them out of the endzone.
Thats an easy one. Especially since Bill used to be a kicking coach and takes pride in finding and developing young kickers. A lot of people think the kicking game is one of the most important aspects of a Parcells coached team.
The coaches do not have a choice in the matter. They do not set the schedule. The games must be played. If a coach does not attempt to play his starters in preseason games as equally as other coaches, his starters and backup players (i.e. depth) would suffer from less practice/repetition/preparation. The same goes for training camp. My suggestion would apply to every team.
Plus, coaches do cut back on the amount of minutes their starters put in during preseason games, but this usually happens during the final preseason game. This helps lessen the chance for injuries, etc., but even if any player (starter or backup) is on the field for any length of time--it doesn't eliminate the possibility of something happening which could've been prevented if the games were not played.
I never said they were idiots. They do adhere to the preseason schedule because it must be played. Again, unless a coach knows that he has a bonafide, sure-fire Super Bowl winner, he's not going to cut back on the amount of work his players need to be successful for the regular season. He's only going to cut back so much on the amount of reps he thinks his players need.
I'm not aware of any rule that says coaches must play their starters a certain amount of minutes during preseason games.
Gee, thanks for enlightening me.
Agree completely. The coach is given a specified amount of time allocated for TC that he is not allowed to exceed without ramifications from the league. Again, I may be mistaken, but I don't think it's written anywhere in league policy that teams must practice for a minimum of X number of hours. If a coach and owner truly thought his team would benifit from less work during TC and PS, they'd play their starters less during preseason and work them less during training camp. If the length of TC and PS are what the problem is, why wouldn't a coach do as much as he could within the rules to eliminate the problem?
Honestly, I don't really care one way or the other about the number of PS games or how long TC is. I am only concerned with what happens when it counts. I just don't agree that the length of TC and PS is the problem. If it was, they'd do something about it.
For that matter, there isn't a rule that states that coaches have to play anyone during the preseason.
You're welcome.
I understand where you're coming from.
This is where I'm coming from.
I see very little reasoning behind the necessity of teams playing more than two preseason games. In addition, regardless, let me repeat, regardless of the number of minutes that starters and/or backup players actually put in practices, scrimmages and/or preseason games, the length of the preseason itself increases the likelihood of injury to any player.
The fundamental purpose of the preseason is to prepare teams for regular season games. IMO, the extra 2 or 3 preseason games are marketing tools geared to help further promote the start of the regular season. I believe that a 4-or-5 game preseason schedule does not significantly improve the quality of play during the first one or two regular season games; and that it simply lengthens the grind which players must endure each year.
When the regular season was set at 14 games and the wild card round was absent, a 4-or-5 game preseason schedule made more sense for the NFL player healthwise. It doesn't with a 16 game regular season and (for some teams) an additional playoff round.
I'd rather have Wahle and Vinateri than Rivera and Vandy.
Sure -- but they wouldn't rather be in Dallas. That was the point.

Rounding off his two-day visit of the cyclone affected areas, YS Jagan Mohan flayed the state Government for its callous manner in attending to the needs of the farmers in distress and demanded immediate compensation besides other relief measures.
'We demand that the government should pay a compensation of Rs 10,000 per acre to the farmers who lost their crops, waive all loans and provide new ones besides providing input subsidy for the next crop,' he said after consoling the farmers who lost crops and livelihood at Saarva and Lakshmanaeswaram villages of Narsapuram mandal, Jagan said.
The Congress Government has always been found wanting when it comes to safeguarding the farmers' interests and this time around it was no different. When the locals had poured their woes, Jagan has assured them that within four months YSRCP will come to power and farmers' welfare will be of top priority. – See more at: http://www.gulte.com/news/23013/Jagan-confident-on-power-after-four-Months#sthash.dj0bVSVB.dpuf

Don't Drive Much? This Pay-Per-Mile Plan Could Save You $768 a Year on Car Insurance
How much do you actually drive every month? Do you have a lengthy commute to work each day? Or do you work from home or take public transit?
If you have your own car, but aren't a frequent driver, pay-per-mile car insurance could help you save hundreds of dollars each year.
The Federal Highway Administration says an average driver puts in 13,476 miles per year but according to TechCrunch, 70% of drivers cover fewer than 10,000 miles per year. Why not pay just for the miles you drive?
That's the idea behind Metromile, a car insurance company that charges people only for the driving they actually do each month. "If you're driving under 5,000 miles per year, you will save 40% to 50%," the company's CEO, Dan Preston, told TechCrunch.
Is "Pay-Per-Mile" Insurance New?
While many insurance companies offer low-mileage discounts, Metromile is the only company offering "pay-per-mile" insurance. Another company, MileMeter, offered a similar pay-per-mile model, but closed its doors in 2012.
However, other companies offer programs that may help reduce your rates in exchange for monitoring your mileage and driving patterns. Progressive's Snapshot and Allstate's Drive Wise both allow you to install a device in your car that tracks your mileage and driving habits, including braking patterns and driving aggressiveness, to help determine your rates.
A Great Deal for Urban Drivers
Metromile is aimed mostly at urban drivers who have a car but don't use it all that often. With parking fees, tolls and traffic, many city dwellers' cars stay parked far more often than they're driven. This service only charges you for the miles you drive, not for the days your car sits in your driveway, garage or parking space, unused.
Right now, the service is only available in California, Oregon, Washington, Virginia and Illinois. However, the company hopes to expand to other markets in the near future.
How Much Does It Cost?
You install a device in your car's on-board diagnostic port to log your mileage, and this number, along with your age, vehicle, credit report, where you live, insurance history and your driving record, helps the company determine your rates.
Each month, you pay a fixed base rate as well as a per-mile rate. Most people will pay a different amount each month, but the base rate and per-mile rate should stay the same for six months unless you request a reevaluation.
NerdWallet wrote that one 29-year-old San Francisco woman would pay around $57 per month with Metromile, as opposed to $121 through Geico (which was the cheapest traditional auto insurance provider they could find).
What's the Catch?
If you're a low-mileage driver, there really isn't a catch. The company offers full coverage options and four different levels of liability coverage. Your car can be registered in any state, but the car must "reside permanently" at the location you list on your policy.
You can get Metromile if you own or lease your car, and it doesn't matter if the car is paid in full or financed. If you don't drive at all in a month, you'll still pay the base rate for that month, but you won't pay any "per-mileage" charges.
Do Road Trips Count?
Your per-day mileage charges are capped at 150 miles (250 miles in Washington state). That means if you head out on a long road trip, you'll pay the 150 (or 250) miles for that day, but then you can drive for hundreds more miles on that calendar day without accruing any additional charges.
Uber Is Hopping on the Bandwagon
Even Uber is hopping on the pay-per-mile game, as Metromile contracts with the company to let drivers in some states pay per mile. Uber drivers can use Metromile to distinguish which miles they're driving for Uber versus the miles they're driving on their own time.
This helps fill the gaps and answer questions about how insurance works when a driver is, say, dropping off a passenger. Metromile and Uber can sync together to establish when Uber is footing the bill for insurance (any time a passenger is in the car) versus when the passenger leaves the car and the driver is on their own, insurance-wise. This is optional for Uber drivers, though, and they don't have to use Metromile.
Can I Test It Out?
If you're intrigued by the pay-per-mile concept but not sure if it's right for you or if you drive few enough miles per month for it to make sense, you can test it out. Use Metromile's free beta program to track your miles, see how much you drive and help you determine if pay-per-mile insurance is right for you.
Your Turn: Have you tried per-mile insurance? How much did it help you save?

Brussels Sprout : Trafalgar F1 by Thompson and Morgan seeds. Just imagine a Brussels Sprout which you can serve at the dinner table, and the children come back for seconds! Thanks to the work of the breeder, continuously striving for a better, sweeter flavour, your wish can now come true with Brussels Sprout Trafalgar. This modern hybrid produces a heavy crop of medium sized, firm button sprouts from mid December to late March and they keep their excellent quality over a long period of time.
Sowing Instructions
Sow seeds from end of February to April under glass for the best crops. Outdoors sow seeds in a seed bed in March/April thinly 12mm deep in rows 23cm (9in) apart. If the soil is dry, water well and allow to drain before sowing.
Growing instructions
Transplant in late spring/early summer when approx. 15cm (6in) tall, allowing 60-80cm (2-2.5ft) between plants. Plant firmly, the soil should be well limed and in good heart, with plenty of well rotted compost etc., preferably from a previous crop. Before planting rake in 3oz/sq yd of a balanced fertiliser. Water in dry weather.
When the sprouts start to form, pinch out the growing point to assist development. To avoid the danger of Clubroot grow your Brassicas (Cabbages, Sprouts, Cauliflowers etc.) in a different site each year so that they only occupy the same spot once in four years.
Cropping Time
(December to March)

I've written a lot on the performance improvements gained by implementing RDP 8 on my RDPSoft corporate blog over the past 2 years. If you migrate to Windows Server 2012, or soon, Windows Server 2016, and set up RDP to use TCP and UDP as its transport protocols, you will solve a significant number of connection issues you had to contend while running RDP 7 on Windows Server 2008.
RDP 8 and Later – Network Quality Thresholds and Limitations
However, it should be noted that RDP 8 is NOT a panacea for ALL types of networks. Here are my general rules of thumb when it comes to the question of "is RDP good enough?"
1.) If the upper limit of latency between your remote desktop clients and servers is typically less than 300ms
2.) If the average packet loss rate between your remote desktop client and servers is at or less than 2% then RDP 8 on a pure Remote Desktop Services implementation will probably work just fine. And yes, if there's less latency but slightly more packet loss, RDP 8 may still be able to adapt decently. However, if your remote desktop connections are consistently outside the above thresholds based on your remote worker environments, you will need to consider other protocol technologies leveraged by Citrix. For more on those technologies (e.g Framehawk and ThinWire), please read this wonderful performance "bake off" test conducted by my fellow Microsoft MVP Marius Sandbu that he published on his blog.

Lazy Jacks: Lov'em or Leave'em?
How does this sailing group feel about Lazy Jacks?
I have them primarily because I singlehand.
I almost exclusively singlehand and eventually will get around to putting some on. And a jiffy reef.
I want them because I single hand also.
I only love em when dropping the main.
Maybe you should have the question
"do you love and hate your lazy jacks?"
On a busy river with a shipping channel like where I'm at, just the time it takes to drop the main without jacks can be dangerous for the singlehander!
I have then and love them. Although our 50 have a "tradewids mast" that is shorter than the taller version, I find the main to be rather large. Having lazy jacks makes it easy to lower the large main. (And with just one zipper I have the main covered and away from the sun.) Being easier also means I'm more likely to take her out for a short sail. Finally, whether I single hand (not yet, boat is still pretty new-to-me) or not, one person can secure the main, quite easily.
The only downside is you really have to be pointing into the wind when raising the main, or else our battens catch on the lazy jacks. This is not really a problem when there's another crew member on board to turn her up at the right moment, when starting from a mooring, or when using the autopilot and engine to hold her into the wind. (I'll have to experiment with doing this single handed.)
Bottom line, love our lazy jacks.
I have lazy jacks, jiffy reefing and a stack pack sail cover on my Bendy also. I don't know how the rest of you guys live without them.
They're a pain in the butt when raising sail but they're great when dropping sail.
lazy jacks are?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Roller furling is ?!?!?!?!?!?!
I singlehand most of the time and wish I had them. Hope to add this summer. I added jiffy reefing last summer and don't know why I didn't add that earlier.

Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund
The dachshund is a short-legged, long-bodied dog breed belonging to the hound family and is sometimes referred to as the sausage dog. The breed dates back 600 years and was depicted in German artwork in the 15th century. They were bred as working dogs that could go to ground after game such as badgers. The German name Dachshund actually means badger dog.
Today, the breed is popular as a show dog, working dog and a pet. Dachshunds are still used by some people for working; typically tracking fallen deer, and these are usually called Teckels. They tend to be slighter in body and longer in the leg than many "show" Dachshunds, but are highly regarded for their working ability and "good noses". In Europe a show champion has to have a working certificate to become a full champion.
The Wire coat was almost certainly the result of crossing with German Pinschers and Dandie Dinmonts. Wires, with their harsh coats, as well as being suitable for underground work were ideally suited for overground work for trailing fallen prey such as deer through thick undergrowth and "giving tongue" along the way. Both Miniature and Standard Wires are also used for catching vermin.
Dachshunds are active dogs, and will take as much exercise as you can give them. They are, however, just as happy curled up on your lap, snoozing. They are sociable with other family pets, especially other Dachshunds and are very loyal to their owners. They make keen watchdogs and due to their small size are inexpensive to keep.
Socialisation is a vital part of training a dachshund, without proper training a dachshund may be wary of strangers and other dogs, particularly bigger dogs. They must also be introduced to small children at a young age if children are to be around them. The Dachshund is a typical hound and therefore is inclined to use its voice. They are not noted for their obedience, but can be trained, given persistence by the owner. However, they do like "to get their noses down" when off the lead and can "go deaf" when it suits them.
Wire-haireds are the "rugged workmen", with harsh body hair, beards and eyebrows. Depending on the texture of the coat, which can range from "pin-wire" to "hairy", they may need to be hand-stripped (never clipped) two or three times a year. The most common colours are Brindle and Red. Chocolate/Tan and Dapples also occur. Note that Brindle in Wires means the individual hairs are striped, giving an overall grizzle/grey appearance, as opposed to the tiger-stripe appearance found in Long-haired Brindles. As a generalisation, Wires are the most extrovert and active of the dachshunds. All the Miniatures make ideal pets for someone who is maybe less active and who wants a small, but affectionate companion.
Miniature Wire-haired Dachshunds should weigh 10 - 11 lbs however many pet-bred Dachshunds are bigger than these ideal weights.
Dachshunds generally suffer from few health problems, provided they are kept well exercised, fit and fed on a healthy, balanced diet. As with most breeds obesity can be a problem if they are fed too much and do not get enough exercise. The average life expectancy recorded in the Kennel Club's Health Survey was over 12 years.
Because they are a "dwarf breed", there is a greater risk of slipped disk problems than in a longer-legged dog. However, such problems are best avoided by keeping the dog fit and not allowing it to become overweight or to run up and down stairs, which clearly will put extra stress on the back. Good breeders monitor their breeding program and do not breed from dogs with a history of back problems. Some miniature wire breeders even have introduced shorter back longer on the leg types usually from Europe.
Breeding stock for Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds should be DNA tested for the cord1 PRA mutation which is an inherited condition causing degeneration of the retina and potentially leading to blindness. If you are considering buying a Miniature Wirehaired Dachshund you should ask the breeder whether both the parents have been DNA tested for cord1 and ask to see the results. Only purchase a puppy if at least one of the parents has been DNA tested normal (Clear) for cord1. Avoid buying a puppy from a breeder who does not know the DNA cord-1 status of the Sire and Dam of the puppy.
A small proportion of Miniature Wirehaired Dachshunds potentially suffer a form of epilepsy called Lafora's Disease. Ask the breeder of any mini wire if they have history of this disease in their stock and whether they have participated in the Wirehaired Dachshund Club's screening programme.
Always consult a Vet if you have any concerns about a puppy you intend to purchase, or health problems with an older dog. Breed Club Secretaries will also be able to provide up-to-date advice on any current or emerging health concerns in any of the Dachshund breeds.

"Watch the doorframe!" Izzie yelped as George and Derek manhandled a Christmas tree the size of a young sequoia into the hallway. "Let's set it here by the window." She exclaimed excitedly.
The men shared a look before they pushed into the living room and finally set the tree in the stand.
"George get down there and tighten the screws while I hold it steady." Derek said as he held up the tree.
"Why do I have to get down there?" George mumbled.
"Because I'm your attending. And I have the tree steady. And this damn thing is heavy so hurry." Derek chuckled as George got down and vanished under the piney mass.
"Guys, it needs to lean a little more to the left… NOT that much. Ok right there, right there." Izzie demanded. George stood up finally with a sigh, and Derek stepped back, everyone holding their breath waiting to see if the tree would hold up.
It stood there, massive and green. Steadily. Izzie immediately began fluffing out branches. "Do you think Mer will freak? It's a lot bigger than last year."
"Meredith is going to enjoy Christmas and sing carols and drink cocoa and like every minute. I'm a Christmas person and she's going to convert." Derek stated emphatically.
"Is that like changing from Christianity into Jewish?" George joked.
"Let's get the lights up boys, so I can do the garland, and we will do ornaments tonight when Mer gets home." Izzie ordered, beckoning to a tote filled to the top with lights.
"Are we having a Vegas tree?" Derek joked, as he started to rummage through it.
"You'll see, this is going to be the most beautiful, glorious tree ever." Izzie promised.
And it was. Derek sat on the couch, in the dark, with his Meredith in his arms. They were curled up on the couch, admiring the lit Christmas tree which was adorned with ornaments and baubles. The lights were beautiful, and while plentiful, not tacky. Derek had already filled up half of the underneath with brightly wrapped packages, having gone a little nutty already with shopping. He was determined to give Meredith the best Christmas and show her that she had a family, him and her friends.
"It's so pretty. I do love Christmas trees. We never had a real one, my first one was last year. But I never…" She trailed off.
"Never what?" he asked her as he nuzzed her neck.
"Last year, I never thought I'd sit here a year later and be sharing a tree with you." She looked at him shyly, her eyes shining.
Derek sighed and pulled her closer into his arms. "All I wanted last year for Christmas was that Meri. My happiest moment of Christmas was the time I got to spend with you. That was the night I told Addison I was in love with you too."
"You did?" She asked surprised?
"I did," He confirmed.
They kissed, softly. He pulled back and held her face in his hands. "I Love you Meredith Grey."
"I love you Derek Shephard." She smiled.
They met each others lips again, and the kiss intensified. Derek tangled his hands in her hair, before moving them down to her tiny waist. He pulled her onto his lap so she was straddling him, and felt his hands wander under her sweater.
"You know..," he murmured into her ear, "George is off with Callie for the night, and Izzie is sound asleep. Do you want to christen the tree?" he asked her with a wicked grin.
Meredith closed her eyes, not wanting to wake up… not ever. She leaned down and kissed him deeply another time. Then she stood up silently and walked over to the tree, before sinking to her knees. Derek smiled and jumped up to join her, helping her pull her sweater over her head. She helped him off with his shirt, and they both lay down together in front of the tree, their mouths finding sensitive spots on each other, and their hands wandering.
Under the Christmas tree Meredith and Derek made love, the lights shining on them softly, and Meredith decided that she really really liked Holidays after all.


text: For financial reasons, I am going to attempt to color my hair myself. I've been coloring my hair for 20 years, and for the last 10 I've had a professional colorist do it. I just can't continue to pay $100 for a cut and color right now. I need a permanent dye (maybe semi permanent will would be better?) that will cover gray. My natural hair color is dark brown (almost black) with some gray, but my current color is light brown with lots of hi-lights (not blonde, just varying shades of brown). My hair tends to pick up red tints every easily. I want to stay my same color and not go any darker. Sorry if this is too much information, but I'm desperate! Anyone have any suggestions... brand, color, technique, etc?

So reliable
By Picky on
Vehicle2002 Nissan Xterra SE S/C 2WD 4dr SUV (3.3L 6cyl S/C 4A)
ReviewI have had the Xterra since new and love it. I have had only one mechanical issue and that was the A/C TCA (thermal control amplifier)causing the a/c compressor to kick on and off. I changed it myself. I carry all my sporting goods in the back with plenty of space left over. Backseat passengers have plenty of legroom. The front seats are extremely comfortable for long trips. For those complaining of interior plastic, I use Aerospace 303 on all plastic surfaces and they all look new. The paint has looked great since day one. I upgraded the sound system as stock system was lacking. It is extremely cheap to maintain. Parts are dirt cheap for it.
Best FeaturesHigh stance, nice stock wheels on the SE S/C, plenty of power outlets, nice tie-down rings in the back compartment. If you listen close, you can hear the Supercharger whine!!!
Worst FeaturesMake rear seats fold down instead of having to remove bottom cushions to fold down the seats. Add sound deadening liners to make the ride quieter. Bigger glove box.

Employees....by Default....Mature
Tariq made his way into the arcade ,it was a busy Friday afternoon, Ali was covering for his mother who had gone to the bank, Tariq looked uneasy as he approached the change booth and made eye contact with Ali and the air was rife with accusation,
This was the first time they had seen each other since they had made their little raise, Tariq had been roped into working at his father's take-away, "Taz's" which was the Bain of his life, Tariq hated any association with anything "Asian" he even referred to himself as "Terry" to his girlfriend's, Tariq was not amused, that his friend of 14yrs was up to stuff, and was not telling him, he was having to hear it second hand from a "Divvy!" a little crank telling him what his best mate was up to, Tariq wanted answers and a "look in" was expected.
Ali knew his little plan was going to take a little longer.......
"Alright T" said Ali, Tariq replied "Are you alright? Yeah?"
Pat was back from the bank, "go to mosque" she bellowed after Ali as he disappeared out of the front door behind Tariq,
"I have to go to the take-away" shouted Tariq, Ali stopped and turned to face Tariq, "come on spit it out" Ali looked at Tariq with wide eyes,
"I want in" said Tariq, Ali didn't have much choice; Tariq was his best mate.....
He brought him up to speed on his little venture; between them they had a couple of areas already in their sights.

Nice, basic but everything you need. Make sure you get there earlier than gate closure because the empty sites are really hard to find and I got there about 3.30pm! I saw one poor car drive past me 3 times in about half an hour! The ablusions are probably the nicest of all the camps.
Make sure you have the campsite adaptor for you plugs too. They fit only the camper ones, not normal "plug-in-the-wall" plugs. (Then you will have the adapter fitting the 3 prong plug, so if you have 2 prong devices, you'll need that adapter too.)

To expand financial inclusion in the country, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Thursday released the draft guidelines for licensing of payment banks and small banks. Stating that payment and small banks are restricted banks, the central bank said that it is working on and would soon be coming out with guidelines for continuous authorisation of universal banks, raising hopes of corporate houses and non-banking finance companies (NBFCs) that could not secure a banking licence in April this year.
According to the draft norms, the entities eligible to set up a payment bank include existing non-bank pre-paid instrument issuers (PPIs), NBFCs, corporate business correspondents, mobile telephone companies, supermarket chains, companies, real sector cooperatives, and public sector entities. The entities eligible to set up a small bank include resident individuals with 10 years of experience in finance, companies and societies, NBFCs, micro finance institutions (MFIs) and local area banks (LABs).
"Both payments banks and small banks are 'niche' or 'differentiated' banks; with the common objective of furthering financial inclusion," said RBI.
While small banks would be allowed to provide a whole suite of basic banking products such as deposits and loans, payment banks would be permitted to provide a limited range of products, such as demand deposits and remittance of funds — but they cannot lend. Payment banks would be required to have a widespread network of access points particularly to remote areas, either through their own branch network, via business correspondents (BCs) or through networks provided by others. The draft norms require payments bank to have at least 25 per cent of access points in rural centres.
The minimum paid-up capital requirement of both payments banks and small banks would be Rs 100 crore, of which the promoters' initial minimum contribution has to be at least 40 per cent, to be locked in for a period of five years.
Shareholding of the promoters will have to be brought down to 40 per cent within three years, 30 per cent within a period of 10 years, and to 26 per cent within 12 years from the date of commencement of business, said the RBI.
Reacting to the news, Oommen K Mammen, chief financial officer, Muthoot Finance said, "We had applied for a banking licence earlier and are keen to convert into a bank. We have a lending book and are also into foreign inward remittances with 1-2 lakh transactions in a month. Both the structures (payment bank and small bank) fits our business model.
However, we will wait to see the norms for universal banks and then take the final call."
Rishi Gupta, executive director, FINO PayTech said, "Payments bank will help de-clutter commercial banks from financial inclusion activities and bring in more focused approach in serving the rural masses. We believe this is an interesting phase in the Indian banking industry and look forward to be a part of this eco-system."
"We will require to further analyse the guidelines and subsequent business models, before taking any call," said Gupta.
The Reserve Bank last came out with a set of guidelines for licensing f new banks in the private sector in February 2013 and in April granted in-principle full licence to two entities — IDFC and Bandhan — of the 25 players that had applied.
In Union budget 2014-15 presented on July 10, finance minister Arun Jaitley had said, "After making suitable changes to the current framework, a structure will be put in place for continuous authorisation of universal banks in the private sector in the current financial year. RBI will create a framework for licensing small banks and other differentiated banks. Differentiated banks serving niche interests, local area banks, payment banks etc. are contemplated to meet credit and remittance needs of small businesses, unorganized sector, low income households, farmers and migrant workforce."
According to the draft norms for small banks, the maximum loan size and investment limit exposure to single/group borrowers / issuers would be restricted to 15 per cent of its capital funds. At least 50 per cent of a small bank's loan portfolio should constitute loans and advances of size upto Rs 25 lakh in order to extend loans primarily to micro enterprises. The area of operations of the small bank will normally be restricted to contiguous districts in a homogenous cluster of states/Union territories so that the bank has the "local feel" and culture. However, if considered necessary, the bank will be allowed to expand its area of operations beyond contiguous districts in one or more states with reasonable geographical proximity.
Payments banks will initially be restricted to holding a maximum balance of Rs 1 lakh per customer, which would be raised later based on their performance. The payments / remittance services would include acceptance of funds at one end through various channels, including branches and BCs and payments of cash at the other end, through branches, BCs, and ATMs. Cash-out would also be permitted at point-of-sale terminal locations.
Both small bank and payments bank shall be required to maintain a minimum capital adequacy ratio of 15 per cent of its risk weighted assets (RWA) on a continuous basis.
The draft norms bar payment banks from setting up subsidiaries to undertake on-banking financial services activities or such activities of their promoters. "Payment bank cannot undertake lending. Apart from amounts maintained as cash reserve ratio (CRR) with RBI, minimum cash in hand and balances with a scheduled commercial bank, it will be required to invest all its monies in government securities/treasury bills with maturity up to one year," said RBI.
The central bank has invited comments on the draft guidelines up to August 28.

Coldplay are trying to ensure they don't "go broke" thanks to their latest tour.
The British band are currently completing their Mylo Xyloto Tour around the world, to promote their latest album.
They have been providing audiences with flashing wristbands to wave around during the performances, but frontman Chris Martin has admitted it's been problematic.
"Most of the money we're earning on the tour is put into the wristbands," he explained.
"We have to figure out how to keep it going without going broke because it's a crucial part of the concert."
The group - comprising of Chris, Jonny Buckland, Guy Berryman and Will Champion - first handed out the arm gadgets in Madrid last October. Since then, around 40,000 fans have got their hands on one.
To cut down on costs, the band considered asking for them back once their performance had ended.
"You have to clean everything in case someone picks up herpes or TB. Our lawyers told us we'd get sued, and having been sued a few times we're not keen on that," Chris told British newspaper The Sun.
"It's a little self-indulgent but we love the way it looks when there are 15,000 or 40,000 or however many people with all those lights on them. The technology is still very experimental."
Chris isn't a fan of all kinds of technology though. He becomes anxious when he sees people fiddling with their phones during his shows.
"The only thing I fear is texting. If they are texting they are not enjoying the music," he said.

With their hopes fading and legal op- tions exhausted, Terri Schiavo's family appeared quietly resigned Sunday to watching her die as they arranged for the severely brain-damaged woman to re- ceive Easter communion on her ninth day without food or water. Outside the hospice, protesters were not as calm. Five were ar- rested, and about a half-dozen people in wheelchairs got out of them and lay in the driveway, shouting "We're not dead Schiavo's husband, who a day earlier denied a request from his wife's parents that she be given communion, granted permission Sunday to offer the sacrament.

He administered the last rites, anointing her with holy oil and giving a blessing. The priest's announcement drew applause and cheers from the crowd, which spent most of the day heckling police and pro- testing loudly. The noise prompted Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler, to come out and ask protesters to tone down their behavior. "We are not going to solve the problem today by getting ar- he told the restless crowd. "We can change laws, ou we tire not. to not them today You are speaking for our family."

In the end, the pontiff man- aged only to greet the saddened crowd with a sign of the cross.

But he vividly remembers sit- ting in the back seat of a police car as his father told him the young woman in the ether car was dead. "How can I live with Di- Raddo, 37, recalls thinking. DiRaddo has spent more than 20 years searching for an answer since Amy Dudak, 23, died on that night in 1984 when he was 17. For the past two decades. Du- dak's death has haunted DiRad- do. He said he has gone through and lost a string of friends and has been so depressed his family feared he might kill him- self. He turned to alcohol to try and forget it all, he said, but that just earned him two more drunken driving convictions. The most recent conviction his first fel- ony DWI brought him to Onondaga County Court March 14 to be sentenced to five years' probation. It also has gotten DiRaddo into intensive psychiatric coun- seling that he believes may, for the first time, help him deal with his guilt over Dudak's death. "I have to surrender. I can't do it alone he said. His elder brother. Ren, said it has been like time stood still for MOTHER, PAG! A-7 ;

text: 000 FXUS63 KMPX 241144 AFDMPX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Twin Cities/Chanhassen MN 644 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 .UPDATE... Issued at 603 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Updated to include 12z aviation discussion below. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 315 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Surface analysis early this morning shows weak high pressure over the Dakotas extending into the Deep South with one frontal system over the Ohio River Valley and another over southern Alberta province into the Pacific northwest. Aloft, the deep upper low responsible for yesterday`s occasional showers has shifted into the mid-Mississippi River valley while a NE-SW oriented ridge axis is placed from western Ontario province through the Four Corners region. Some low clouds are still shifting southeast through the area in a last gasp of influence from the upper low. Otherwise, the deep ridge of high pressure will slowly move east over the region, allowing for a drier and warmer airmass to grab a hold of the region`s weather for today into tonight. The ridge axis will shift atop the area overnight then just off to the east by daybreak Thursday morning. The western frontal system will have a stacked low remain to the north of the international border but increased moisture in advance of its warm front, expected to push into the eastern Dakotas by Thursday morning, will allow for an increase in cloud cover but be delayed enough to keep precipitation out of the forecast through tonight. Highs today will climb to 60-65 degrees across the WFO MPX coverage area. Lows tonight will range from the lower 40s north and east to the upper 40s south, west and in the Twin Cities metro. .LONG TERM...(Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 315 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 The overall concerns in the long term remain the frontal passage Thursday night into Friday. Then the overall evolution of the upper trough over the northern CONUS into the holiday weekend. Initially we should see clouds increasing out ahead of the next short wave and waa pattern Thursday. This should spread a small chance of mainly elevated showers into the west and central portions of the cwa during the afternoon. The front and trough advance east over the region into the day Friday with a continue threat of light showers. We do see moisture increase to around 1 inch precipitable water into Friday afternoon. This may be enough to generate a few heavier showers with some thunder. The GFS is faster with the front...moving into wester WI by 18z Fri with the ECMWF about 6 hrs slower...holding off until later afternoon. The EC builds better instability as well. Dewpoints should rise to the mid 50s and temperatures will warm ahead of the front with mid to upper 70s. This system exits to the east Friday night but the deterministic differ greatly in development and evolution of the northern CONUS trough. The GFS brings in moisture ahead of the trough into Saturday afternoon...with the ECMWF holding off until later Saturday night/Sunday. We will hold onto the slight chance PoP for mainly the west Saturday afternoon. This may be removed if trends more toward the ECMWF in future model runs. The better shot of ran will develop Sunday into Monday as the upper trough drops south over the region. This will eventually cool temperatures back below normal by Memorial day. The thunder threat looks best for the area Sunday afternoon with the troughs arrival. We may see some lingering chances for isolated thunder to the east on Memorial Day depending on timing. Overall...little threat of severe weather. Trending more like a typical Memorial Day weekend. && .AVIATION...(For the 12Z TAFS through 12Z Thursday morning) Issued at 603 AM CDT Wed May 24 2017 Mainly VFR at all terminals with a chance of some lingering MVFR ceilings over the initial few hours from MSP-eastward. If/when MVFR ceilings do occur, they look to fall into the 2-3 kft range, nothing lower. Ceilings will gradually scatter out this afternoon with only FEW-SCT clouds tonight through tomorrow morning. Winds will be generally from the NE today in the 5-10kt range then go near calm tonight before picking up from the southeast tomorrow as high pressure moves across. No precipitation and no visibility restrictions. KMSP...There is a small areas of 1 kft clouds just to the SW of the MSP terminal with a couple sites reporting lower MVFR ceilings. However, with a NE wind and daytime mixing to commence, am not expecting these clouds to back up into MSP. So will maintain just SCT clouds. There is a swath of mid-level clouds to the NE over western WI that does look to move so have indicated that with BKN050 by midday. Clouds to scatter out afterwards this evening through through tomorrow morning. /OUTLOOK FOR KMSP/ Fri...VFR. Wind SW 5-10 kts. Sat...Mainly VFR. Slgt chc P.M. -SHRA/-TSRA. Wind W 5-10 kts.

New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill picked a great day to score his first goals of the season.
With his team playing without Juninho and Dax McCarty in the center of the park due to suspension and injury, respectively, it was Cahill who stepped up to guide the Red Bulls to victory on the road.
The Red Bulls overcame a late goal from Toronto FC to win, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at BMO Field in Toronto. Cahill scored a goal in each half, including the game-winner in the 89th minute to secure the three points for the Red Bulls and get their second successive win.
Also for the second successive week, TFC forward Robert Earnshaw was held off the board, as Red Bulls defenders Jamison Olave and Markus Holgersson combined to shut down the TFC front line all day. That's just one of the disappointments of the day for manager Ryan Nelsen, as his side lost Justin Braun and Hogan Ephraim to injury in the first half.
The Red Bulls got on the board in the 39th minute thanks to the quick feet of left back Roy Miller, who cut past a Toronto defender, before centering a ball into the box. Thierry Henry, making a near post run, used a dummy to let the ball pass by him to a waiting Cahill, who buried a left-footed strike to give his side a 1-0 lead.
Taking that score into the halftime, the Red Bulls nearly added a second in the 50th minute, when Cahill and Henry combined beautifully around box before Henry put a left footed shot just over the goal.
Outside of a couple of chances from forward Fabian Espindola though, it was nearly all TFC, who were playing very direct to put the Red Bulls back line under duress. The constant pressure came to fruition for the hosts in the 83rd minute, when the hosts got an equalizer.
The play began when Red Bulls goalkeeper Luis Robles came off his line to the edge of the area to try and punch away a free kick. Robles ended up missing the punch, and 20-year-old TFC substitute Jonathan Osorio calmly send a shot into the net from the top of the box to tie the game.
But the Red Bulls would take the lead for good in the 89th minute. Substitute forward Peguy Luyindula played Henry into the box and from there the Frenchman sent a cross to the far post, where Cahill expertly sent a header into the net to put the Red Bulls up 2-1 for good.
Here are the match highlights:
Can TFC go one week without kicking their fans in the dikc?
Scott A
Petke is God.
Robles is a DISASTER.
Those kits have got to be the most hideous ever. On any continent…
Exciting game. Robles is horrific. He's the Tim Ream of keepers. He looks good for stretches and then makes completely idiotic plays out of nowhere. When is Meara coming back? Hartman? Steele and Miller looked very good together on the left. Do all of you maniacs who have been inexplicably clamoring for Lloyd Sam now understand why he doesn't start? He made a nice through ball in the first but was also extremely slow to join the play on several occasions and also way too slow in his decision making with the ball on several others. Ideally, he's the classic speed off the bench guy.
Cahill! Finally! He just needs to pick a fight with another muppet-like commentator every week and he's good. Henri played the unselfish orchestrator today. Alexander was okay pulling emergency duty in the middle and the d line was solid.
Remember when TFC joined MLS? They were gonna show everyone what a proper team was like and what real fan support was! Seven years later, they stink, have never made the playoffs and draw mediocre crowds.
Welcome to the real world, you haughty TFC supporters!
no TFC hasn't won anything, but they did have over 20,000 at the game today. Considering as you say 7 years without being in the playoffs and a bottom of the table team at that it is pretty phenomenal to have that level of support….
Scott A
There were not 20,000 at the game today and that was a big crowd for them this season. Not sure why people have praise for TFC fans for somewhat sticking through 7 years of this while NY fans are slammed for getting just as good attendance after 17 years of worse.
Well one team makes the playoffs every year, has made an MLS Cup Final, has Henry and Cahill, plays in a bigger city, the other has never made the playoffs and has always had higher attendance…
Also Smith, not really sure your point-TFC had the best fans until Seattle and Portland joined the league. They were still averaging 20k as recently as 2 years ago. If anything, that shows they are legit fans who stuck through more than most. Also stop with the stupid cherryicking.
Scott A
NY has been rebranded to be named after an energy drink, insulting/incompetent ownership (like TFC) didn't get the benefit of an MLS 2.0 start, and didn't even win a cup when there were a miniscule amount of teams in MLS. That's just as bad as TFC's streak, evidenced by the fact that they're the only original team to (not) do so. And anyway, NY beat TFC's attendance last year. But whatever. How many times does it have to be repeated that having two star players and a pretty stadium doesn't replace running a team the right way? TFC should know.
Scott A
Grammar edit: NY has been rebranded to be named after an energy drink, has insulting/incompetent ownership (like TFC), didn't get the benefit of an MLS 2.0 start, and didn't even win a cup when there were a miniscule amount of teams in MLS.
That's fine-the product New York has put on the field during the time TFC have been in the league is much better, evidenced by deep/consistent playoff runs, and despite that and Toronto being a smaller city TFC's attendance has been better every season but last.
Michael F SBI Mafia Original
I'm glad my NYRB won but no matter how many leads they take, I will never feel comfortable. Ever.
My point is that TFC and their fans thought they were gonna come in and show everyone how its done. Now they're bottom of the heap
Be honest – prior to Henry and Cahill coming to visit , their attendance was poor thus far this season.
Best fanbase? No
Among the most self-righteous? Yes!
Thank you Thank you Thank you
Taylor Twellman
For lighting the Fire under
Tim Cahill's
That's the Tim we all know and love and have been waiting to see. He's deserved to score many times this year and it just hasn't gone his way ( Bill Hamid ) but that header at the end was CLASSIC CAHILL
Henry was awesome and Peguy made an impact and Alexander filled in well for Dax.
Not the prettiest game but 3 points is always pretty. Ain't it?
This guy Robles is a goon. He's pulling out his best Pepe Reina impression and jumping off his line for balls his defenders should be taking. Two things. If you come off your line for that ball you HAVE to catch that ball or clear it well. Two, don't come off your line for that ball.
The Imperative Voice
Underlines why Houston should have gone after TFC the week before.
Danny M
Diving header by Cahill over a defenders head! OMG what a magnificent goal. I've never seen anything like that here in my life. That Cahill is on another level. He made that look way to easy.
He hit that dude with the Mortal Kombat "fatality".

We documented final month that Apple boss Tim Cook was to host a political fundraiser for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, and the function happened yesterday. Apple's ecological projects VP Lisa Jackson – a panel member of the Clinton Foundation charity – was also in work.
Participants needed to give something from $2,700 to $50,000 to go to the function, which happened at a personal home in Los Altos, and a few them discussed some pictures and a brief online video …
Apple doesn't have its Governmental Action Committee (PAC), therefore equally Cook and Jackson joined as personal citizens. Cook seems to be planning to be bipartisan in his fundraising efforts, having formerly located a fundraiser for Republican Audio of the Home John Ryan – a choice which attracted criticism from some groups.
Once we mentioned before, Apple's interests arrange with both events on various problems, siding using the Democrats on interpersonal concerns and the Republicans on corporate tax change.
Lisa Jackson is less bipartisan in her very own position, having formerly led the EPA underneath the federal government and recommended Clinton's bet for your presidency.

Chatter in the coffee houses of Washington, D.C. is about what President Obama can do to win a second term. The chatter is from Democratic supporters of the president who don't necessarily think his team is following the right path to reelection. It is from Obama Democrats who Hillary's supporters in 2008 said, "Drank the Kool-Aid."
On a recent Sunday morning, a very prominent Democratic insider stated unequivocally, "Mark my words, on the podium in Charlotte, NC on the final day of the Democratic Convention, the hands held high will be that of Barack Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton." Everyone within earshot looked at him and asked, "Is this inside information?" He responded with a resounding NO but then stood by his prediction nonetheless.
He went on to explain his reasoning and it made sense. If the president's polling numbers don't come up or fall even further, he will need to do something to change the discussion and focus to reinvigorate the party and excite the faithful. There would be nothing more exciting then Hillary on the ticket in 2012.
After beating Clinton in the primaries in 2008, Obama became the nominee with more excitement surrounding him than nearly any other in history. I remember sitting at his acceptance speech in the 80,000-seat stadium and thinking it reminded me of the fervor I had seen in film clips of the Hitler youth rallies. It was both amazing and a little frightening in that the people were endowing this man with all their hopes and dreams and believing he had the power to actually solve the world's problems just by becoming president. I felt a tinge of worry for Obama that day as he carried on his shoulders an impossible burden. In some ways he asked for it with the Hope and Change campaign but those who understood Washington knew that we were in for a long slog before things would change. But he was riding a wave of euphoria and when choosing Joe Biden as his vice president he actually tamped down the level of excitement with a journeyman Senator. Biden had been around for years, was recognized as smart, nice and universally liked, but who could never be mistaken for being charismatic. Biden is everyman, someone who often says humorous things even when he has no intention of being funny. In 2008 Barack Obama had all the glow and charisma needed to win the Presidency.
Today that glow and charisma have faded a little. The immensity of the job and problems he faced made that inevitable. President Obama has come down to earth in the eyes of those supporters who in their own minds had endowed him with super human powers. The president is human and no one could have lived up to the hype when facing the mess he inherited from eight years of the George Bush presidency and the realities of the international financial situation.
So last Sunday over coffee, this prominent Obama supporter said the issue facing Democrats is how to bring back the excitement and drama and some of the hope of 2008. He concluded there is only one person who can do that and it is Hillary Clinton. She would become the nation's first woman vice president and be on the road to becoming the nation's first woman president in 2016.
The question is why would Hillary accept and go from being Secretary of State to vice president? The biggest reason would be to help save Obama's presidency. But there are others. The VP job is actually less demanding and after the campaign Hillary would actually be able to sleep in her own bed most nights. The economy will improve and we will be bringing our troops home and she will be seen as part of the solution. Someone once said the desire to be president is like a chronic disease and never goes away and in Hillary's case her supporters have a burning passion to see her break that final glass ceiling.
Why would Obama want her on the ticket? First there is the four-shot at the end of the convention. Hands held high, Barack and Hillary flanked by Michelle and Bill being a not-so-subtle reminder that when Bill Clinton left the Presidency the nation was at peace with a budget surplus. Today Bill and Hillary Clinton are two of the most popular politicians in the world. Why would Obama allow Hillary to be the star of the 2012 election? The answer is simple. With Hillary on the ticket he wins a second term, without her he could be a one-term president. What about Joe Biden? He has reached the pinnacle of his elective political career. He can have any position he likes including Secretary of State or Ambassador to Ireland or just retire as an admired elder statesman and make the kind of money he has never made before.
Whether this scenario comes to fruition will depend on what happens over the next six to eight months. Does Obama rebound in the polls or do they continue to show he is vulnerable? Who is the Republican nominee? What is the state of the economy and how high is unemployment? But I have learned to never dismiss as idle D.C. coffee house chatter.

Deciding to undergo a breast augmentation is a big decision that requires you to make a lot of choices. One of those choices - finding the best implant size for your body - is particularly important. Especially when you consider that more than half of all breast revision surgeries are performed just to change the implant size.

Additional painful, invasive surgeries can be completely avoided simply by choosing the most properly-fitting implant size for your body frame the first time around. Breast implant volume is measured is "ccs," short for "cubic centimeters." The same implant size may end up as a C cup on one woman's frame and a B cup on someone else's. Frankly, the whole thing is a bit confusing, but the rice test can help you figure out which size is the best fit for you.

The rice test is often very helpful to women when choosing breast implant size. It can help you adjust to the look and feel of having larger breasts before you make a permanent decision.

What You'll Need

uncooked rice, instant mashed potato flakes or oatmeal

a food scale or measuring cup

an old pair of nylon stockings or plastic baggies

a fitted sports bra (or a traditional bra in your "goal size")

How to Do the Rice Test

Make the "shell." Plastic baggies make for a quick and easy solution, but nylon stockings have a more natural, comfortable feel. Just cut a 12-inch length of nylons. Use the foot portion or a piece of the leg portion tied off on end.

Measure or weigh the rice. There are several versions of the rice test that use different measurements, and achieving an accurate measurement is challenging because of the way implants are sized.

If you're using a food scale, all you need to know is that 1 ounce of rice is equivalent to 30cc. For example, 5 ounces of rice is roughly the same size and weight as a 150cc implant.

If you're using a measuring cup, use the following as a guideline:

1/8 cup rice = 30cc
1/4 cup rice = 59cc
1/3 cup rice = 78cc
1/2 cup rice = 118cc
2/3 cup rice = 156cc
3/4 cup rice = 177cc
1 cup rice = 236cc

Fill your new "implant." Fill the bag or stocking with the amount of rice you have decided on. Close the bag or tie off the other end of the stocking.

Try them out. Place the sealed bags full of rice into a nicely fitting sports bra and wear them as you go about your typical daily routine. Pay close attention to how they look and feel.

Change it up. The great thing about the rice test is that it lets you try everything out before making a final decision. If you don't like the first size you try, just dump out the rice and remeasure.

Sizing Tips & Tricks

The rice test is an entirely unscientific test. It only provides a rough guideline, and it is not endorsed by any medical group. Still, it's known to help women make the right decision for them. Ask your doctor if he or she recommends the rice test or other methods that can help with your decision. There are also breast implant sizers sold specifically for this purpose.

If your implants will be placed underneath the muscle, you may need to adjust the size of your implants upward by about 15 percent from the amount you liked while doing the rice test in order to account for the compression of the pectoral muscle on the implants. However, the wearing a sports bra for the duration of the rice test may actually help stimulate this compression effect, thereby giving you more accurate results.
