Got to a "No" Quickly
Fund: Hummer Winblad Venture Partners
Posted by mojojojo on 2007-12-28
No wasted time. Twice got a considerate rejection email two days later. I know Mitchell Kertzman from operating roles he's had at other companies as well as some of his venture backed board roles. I find him to be bright and energetic in meetings. HumWin has been burned on a number of industries including interactive television and Internet (natch), and I would suggest only contacting them with Enterprise Software plays that are not too vertical.PRIVATE: Members Only (80 Characters)

Grains closed mixed after trading both sides of the market Thursday. December corn finished 7 ¾ cents higher at $7.98 ½. November soybeans closed a ½ cent lower at $17.47 after trading as low as $17.26 overnight. December wheat held onto its sharp rally closing 24 cents higher at $8.91 ¾.
Volume was relatively low especially for December corn. Corn open interest has been declining and December corn has been stuck in a range for the past 6 weeks.
Soybeans remained weak for the majority of the trading session which may be a result of the "bearish" FC Stone soybean production estimate yesterday. As you can see by the chart below, the lows of the session were made during the first few hours of the night session, immediately following their production estimate announcements.
The EIA Weekly Report showed ethanol stocks and ethanol production marginally higher. Crude oil stocks were down more than expected but the early gains in crude weren't held throughout the day. Outside markets were overall supportive with equity index futures leading the way. The S&P 500 reached highs today not seen since January 2008! The US Dollar Index remains low in anticipation of another round of Quantitative Easing expected on the next FOMC report one week from today.

For U.S. forces in Afghanistan, shifting mission isn't simple
LOYA GORIGAH, Afghanistan — Army Chinook helicopters whipped up a fury on a desolate peak in Kunar province in eastern Afghanistan as American soldiers, in war paint and with camouflage netting over their helmets, scrambled down the rear ramp in the predawn light.
They plunged into the scrub on a mission to uncover hidden weapons and arrest members of a bomb-making team and other insurgents who'd been terrorizing local villages. Two platoons from Combat Company of the 10th Mountain Division's 1-32 Brigade, with a platoon of Afghan soldiers, also were to make contact with local elders, log their identities and gain their cooperation against the Taliban.
Sniper teams crawled through the matted grass to take up positions above a string of Afghan hamlets beneath a snow-capped peak in the foothills of the Hindu Kush, a sanctuary for al Qaida and other militant Islamic groups less than a mile from the border with Pakistan's tribal belt.
A key element was missing, however. As the troops descended, the sun rose, illuminating the approaching Americans and eliminating any chance of surprise. As they marched down the goat path that mission planners had named "Route Achilles," officers and soldiers grumbled about the timing of their assault.
"The Afghans saw us coming down the mountain from the second we were here," said Lt. Jake Kerr, 25, of Lake Placid, N.Y. "Anyone who was going to run would have run and hidden themselves before we knew it."
The airborne assault had been three weeks in the making; it employed Army Apache attack helicopters and Air Force F-15 jets to provide air cover, and it cost millions of dollars. More than anything, however, the mission illuminated the hurdles the U.S. military is facing as it tries to move from a war focused on killing the enemy to a counterinsurgency campaign based on securing the population — mountain-to-mountain and valley-to-valley — in a land of 40,000 villages.
The first hurdle is a lack of detailed knowledge of the area. The10th Mountain forces, from Fort Drum, N.Y., have been charged with plugging the Taliban and al Qaida infiltration routes from Pakistan, but this area and much of the rest of the country remains what the military calls a "black hole."
No U.S. troops had ever visited the village of Loya Gorigah, where the 10th Mountain soldiers were headed, but a pre-operation briefing described the hamlets there as a "staging and cache area" for insurgents streaming into Afghanistan from Pakistan.
"We believe they have been there this year, but we do not have information on their current location," said Maj. Andy Knight, 32, of Ann Arbor, Mich., pointing to footprints in the snow on Kargha Pass, at 8,000 feet elevation, a low point on a mountain ridge.
Another hurdle is the U.S. military's practice of going in with some of the most sophisticated weapons in the world and the heaviest backpacks, when lighter might work better.
It took the 10th Mountain soldiers nearly two hours to make a descent that usually takes Afghans 20 minutes. Each Combat Company soldier carried between 80 and 130 pounds on his back. Inexperienced Afghan soldiers, unsure of the route, caused further delays, losing their way and threatening to gun down an unarmed shepherd. For some, "Route Achilles" was beginning to look like Route Achilles Heel.
It wasn't long before U.S. soldiers with binoculars spotted three men on foot descending a snowy trail across the valley. Soon, however, the men had slipped behind trees, possibly into a cave. A soldier in "Dawg Platoon" soon saw a man in a black cloak with an AK-47 rifle dodge behind a stone wall.
Still another challenge is the inherent conflict between fighting a deadly enemy and winning the hearts of the local villagers with whom the enemy lives. Some officers wondered aloud if a large airborne assault was appropriate for the tiny villages they were about to enter.
"This place is way too big to search in its entirety," Kerr told his team. The mission quickly morphed into an odd combination of "get-to-know the villagers" and a somewhat less sociable attempt to "control and catalogue military-age males."
Some 30 Afghan men responded when 10th Mountain troops asked on the spot for elders to gather. As they sat with the Americans for tea, Kerr told them that the Afghan soldiers would like to take their names and photograph them. Not all of them were pleased at that prospect.
One man, Malek Malang, resisted having his photo taken. Although they had only circumstantial evidence, U.S. officers suspected him of collaborating in an attempted roadside bombing. Malang finally relented, Kerr said, when "I put him on the spot" in front of his peers.
The Afghan elders offered lunch, but suspicion hung in the air. The unstated question was what these strange foreigners in their flying machines would offer in return for the village's cooperation.
As he sat with the villagers, Kerr heard conflicting messages about why he'd seen so many dug-in fighting positions on his way into the village, and why a man in a black cloak was still up on the mountaintop dodging boulders and pointing a rifle at the American overwatch platoon.
Village elders said the villagers had no arms and, instead, fought off the Taliban with "sticks and stones."
Kerr said he doubted that. He thought that some of the elders, many of them two and three times his age, were loyal to the anti-American insurgency, but he did his best to disguise his suspicions.
"I understand their predicament," he said. "They don't get respect from their Afghan neighbors, and then they get the Taliban coming over the border and threatening and shooting at them."
Despite his stated sympathy, Kerr hesitated to offer the elders any humanitarian aid projects. His commanding officer earlier had told him that it was too hard to monitor aid projects in such remote places, anyway, and that the "U.S. government doesn't want to throw money away."
So for now, the villagers of Loya Gorigah had to content themselves with helping the American soldiers meander about their wheat fields in search of bomb-making materials, large Russian machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and other weapons. They found nothing.
The battalion planning officer refused to say the mission was a failure, but he called it "an inappropriate allocation of resources" in a war that demands "an economy of force."
Another officer just chalked it up to "bad intell."
Dereck Hogan, the State Department representative for the province, said in an interview that NATO's Provincial Reconstruction Team was keen to "push the envelope" further and work better with the 10th Mountain soldiers to reach out to isolated villages such as Loya Gorigah.
"Just getting out there, one village at a time, the 10th Mountain is bringing back information that we will be able use to implement projects," said Hogan, 35, a Pittsburgh native who recently signed on to work on a team of special assistants to U.S. special envoy Richard Holbrooke. "Clearly our efforts to secure Afghanistan must shift in the direction of a village-by-village approach. We are now trying hard to build teams of American experts to manage the effort, down at the district and village level."
Pedro Torrez, a farmer from Pomona, Calif., and an Agriculture Department official who's also based in Kunar province, said he was keen to set foot in more remote villages to assist with vineyards, fruit orchards and honey bee production.
American commanders said they'd achieved their goal.
"We have disrupted the enemy's patterns by showing them that we are not afraid to stick our noses in their business," said Maj. Knight, who also defended a decision to land in the daylight because postponing the mission until pilots were available at night probably would have meant a two to three week delay, and the likelihood that the Taliban in Loya Gorigah would have been "far more substantial," and, thus, potentially more dangerous.
Just as U.S. forces prepared to march back up the mountain, U.S. intercepts of suspected enemy radio chatter grew alarming.
"They are getting into position to attack us," Lt. Kerr warned his men. A week earlier, similar chatter had ended in a major firefight for his platoon.
Two F-15s were now overhead, part of more than 24 hours of dedicated air support for the mission. All that was left was a long night on the mountaintop, waiting to be picked back up by four Chinooks.
As the stars twinkled overhead and F-15s bisected the Milky Way, the lilting voice of a female pilot came over the radio, reassuring the anxious American infantrymen below that she had enough big bombs to blast every enemy approach route.
"I simply love that chick," whispered a lieutenant, bedded down for the night.

What Is Bootloader And How To Unlock Bootloader On Android Phones [Complete Guide]
If you are new to the world of Android hacking and rooting, then there are many geeky terms that might bamboozle you and might end you up with quitting the idea of rooting altogether. One such term that confused me too before I was trying to root my Nexus One long ago was "Bootloader". I went through many online tutorials, hopped through infinity YouTube And Vimeo videos for a simple answer that why on earth I need to unlock my phone's bootloader before trying to install any custom ROM or even attempting to root. Although I wasn't able to acquire an answer at that time, but now as the time has changed and we have access to more refined information, the bootloader mystery puzzle has started to fall in place. So in this guide, we will be going through basic questions like what is a bootloader? Why you'd like to unlock it? and how to unlock? On our way, we will also see what threats a user faces when unlocking a bootloader.
What is a Bootloader?
In literal terms, bootloader is code that is executed before any Operating System starts to run. The concept of bootloaders is universal to virtually all Operating systems that inculcates operating systems on your PC, laptop, smartphones, and other such devices. Bootloaders basically package the instructions to boot operating system kernel and most of them also have their own debugging or modification environment. As the bootloader kicks off before any piece of software on your device, it makes it extremely processor specific and every motherboard has it's own bootloader. This is one reason that all Android phones have different Custom ROMS developed due to high variance of processing hardware present on the device. The iDevices running iOS somewhat share the same hardware specs and hence you don't see much variance in their bootloaders.
Android Bootloaders
Every Android phone has a bootloader that instructs the operating system kernel to boot normally. But you need to understand one thing here that as Android OS is an open source OS and is available on a variety of different hardware, every manufacturer has their own version of bootloader specific for the hardware present in it's environment. We also saw couple of weeks back that Motorola packaged an "eFuse" command in their Android phones, which could brick (permanently turn off) your device in case you tried to flash a Custom ROM.
Why is Bootloader Locked?
A bootloader is usually locked on an Android device because although it's an open source OS, still the manufacturers want you to stick to their Android OS version specifically designed for the device. In order to apply this concept, manufacturers lock the bootloader. With a locked bootloader on Android devices, it is virtually impossible to flash a Custom ROM and forced attempts void warranty as well as usually end up in bricks. Therefore, the first step is to always unlock the bootloader.
Why To Unlock Bootloader On Android Devices?
The explanation to this question is really simple. If you want root, you'd be wanting to flash Custom ROM post-root, and if you want to install a Custom ROM, you'd need to have your stock bootloader unlocked. In simple terms Unlocking the bootloader allows you to install custom Firmware on your Android phone.
Warning: Unlocking your phone's bootloader voids its warranty. It also completely wipes (formats) your Android phone's internal memory including applications, contacts, SMS and MMS messages etc.
How To Unlock Bootloader On Nexus Android Devices:
Before attempting this guide to unlock your bootloader, please note that this is intended for Android phone with STOCK ANDROID OS ONLY. We will be using a Google Nexus One as our reference because it comes with zero user interface alteration from it's manufacturer. If you are looking to unlock bootloaders on handsets which already have a custom UI from manufacturers installed like HTC Sense, Samsung TouchWiz etc, then this guide won't be applicable.
- The first step is download and install Android SDK as instructed in this post.
- Once you are done with downloading and installing SDK, turn off your device and boot in bootloader mode:
- On Nexus One, press and hold the power button and trackball.
- On Nexus S, press and hold the volume-up and power buttons.
- On Galaxy Nexus, press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power buttons.
- On Nexus 4, press and hold volume-down and power buttons.
- On Nexus 7, press and hold volume-down and power buttons.
- On Nexus 10, press and hold volume-up, volume-down and power buttons.
- Connect your device to your PC via USB and wait till any drivers are installed, which should happen automatically.
- Now go to command prompt / terminal interface on your computer and type following command:
fastboot oem unlock
- Once this is done, your phone will show a screen that will prompt you regarding unlocking bootloader. Read through the instructions carefully and confirm by pressing volume up button followed by the power button.
There you go! You now have your bootloader on your Nexus Android device unlocked.

Former Rep. Karen Middleton announces divorce the modern way: via Facebook
For a while they were Aurora's power couple: Karen Middleton served in the state legislature while her husband, Larry Beer, served on the city council.
But Middleton on Tuesday changed her marital status on her Facebook page to "Divorced, November 22" and offered this: "Since it is questionable whether I will get holiday cards out, and despite the fact that this has been in the works for a while, it appears to still be news. It seemed easiest to update my status here. All is well."
She said today she and Beer have been separated for months and she is dating. But she continues to get Christmas cards addressed to the couple and raised eyebrows when she shows up at events with a date, so she posted the comment on Facebook.

Who's getting hit by the double whammy of verification?
October 25th, 2012 by Ed Lee
In a recent article written by EDA industry watcher Ann Steffora Mutschler, Atrenta's VP of Product Marketing Piyush Sancheti pointed to the curse of the verification double whammy for engineers:
"For verification engineers and for designers, this is a double whammy," noted Piyush Sancheti, vice president of product marketing at Atrenta. "If you ask a digital design or digital verification team, they will tell you that low-power design and the introduction of analog/mixed-signal components on what used to be a simple digital chip is a significant verification challenge. For verification engineers what this means is your finite state machines or your control logic just got that much more complicated. If you go from 2 domains to 20 domains, your verification complexity just increased an order of magnitude."
We caught up with Piyush in the Atrenta hallway and asked him to elaborate on his statement. Here's what he said:
Ed: So what is the double whammy and why should we care?
Piyush: With the onset of A/MS and low power requirements, digital design teams now have to contend with two new foreign entries to their previous monolithic design environment.
Ed: And they are…?
Piyush: New logic blocks that are completely foreign to digital designers and the implementation of power management techniques like power & voltage domains. Voltage domains allow the timing critical portions of the design at a higher voltage (overdrive), and the rest at a lower voltage (underdrive). Power domains, on the other hand, allow one to turn off the power on entire blocks of the design when not in use.
Ed: Haven't digital designers always needed to be conscious and conscientious about power?
Piyush: Not to the extent they must be these days. Here's the challenge – say you are designing a chip for a smart phone. When you are watching a YouTube video, you don't need the phone function, so you want to make sure that the phone functions are off. What's the result? You're saving power, or in consumer terms, preserving battery life. But, if the smart phone gets a call, you have to be sure the phone function turns on instantly, without adversely impacting your video viewing experience. So designers have to make sure the domains turn off and on in perfect harmony, almost like conducting a symphony.
So what's the problem? New power management logic that designers are not used to has been thrust on them rapidly and recently. They need to get up to speed fast. This is not an easy job. Not only that, but you now have very complex finite state machines that switch these functions on and off seamlessly.
Ed: So what's the solution?
Piyush: A comprehensive methodology for functional and structural verification.
Ed: Can you elaborate?
Piyush: These complex finite state machines must be verified exhaustively for functional correctness. You need to make sure that the various functions on your smart phone wake up and shut off in a timely manner without adversely impacting the device behavior, and ultimately the user experience. With structural verification you need to make sure that the perimeter of the voltage and power domains are properly secured. When you have signals crossing one voltage domain to another, you need voltage level shifters. Similarly, you need isolation logic between power domains, to ensure that signals don't float to unknown values when a domain is powered off.
Ed: So what sort of tools and methodologies do you see out there to meet the double whammy challenge?
Piyush: Well, of course, I'm most familiar with the Atrenta platform. There are undoubtedly other ways to go about this job. But from what I see, SpyGlass Power is being use by many large chip and system companies for static signoff of power and voltage domains. SpyGlass Advanced Lint enables exhaustive finite state machine verification using formal techniques. And with our recent acquisition of NextOp Software, we now have BugScope to ensure dynamic verification (simulation) is covering all the corner cases that are now part of your design because of this increased complexity.
Ed: So your final words of wisdom?
Piyush: Verification of modern day SoC designs is a daunting task. But like any complex problem a systematic approach using a combination of static and dynamic verification techniques will help you reach your device ambitions faster.

EU WILL NOT BUDGE: Macron demands 'POLITICAL COMPROMISE' from May - 'It is NOT up to us'
Emmanuel Macron
has warned
Theresa May
the fate of
lies in her hands as he demanded a "political compromise" from Westminster.
The French President said the
European Union
has offered as many concessions as it can, suggesting Brussels is no longer willing to budge on the deadlocked Irish border.
He affirmed technical negotiations have gone as far as they can and Brexit requires a political answer.
Mr Macron told reporters in Brussels: "It's no longer a technical issue, it's for the political ability of the
to reach an agreement that can be presented to us.
"It's not for the EU to make concessions to deal with UK political issues. I can not be more clear on this.
"Mrs May has been extremely committed and I'm convinced she will work in finding a political solution to get back to the EU negotiators."
Despite hints from sources within Mr Macron's government that is preparing to soften his usually tough stance on Brexit to force through a withdrawal agreement, he confirmed there was no opportunity for another shift in EU position.
"There is no additional political compromise on the EU side," he added.
The refusal to compromise came alongside his usual message that Brexit must come with "consequences".
Mr Macron joined Angela Merkel and other EU leaders for a drink in Brussels' historic Grand Place after their Brexit dinner meeting broke up after just two hours.
The French President hinted Theresa May could receive a similar invite if they seal a Brexit deal at another summit.
"I'm always happy and open to share a drink with different leaders, obviously Theresa may will be very much welcome," he said.
"yesterday she left before the dinner, this is the only explanation for this after dinner drink.
"Don't worry about that."

January 09, 2014
BAGHDAD (AP) — Tribal leaders in the besieged city of Fallujah warned al-Qaida-linked fighters to leave to avoid a military showdown, echoing a call by Iraq's prime minister Wednesday that they give up their fight as the government pushes to regain control of mainly Sunni areas west of Baghdad.
The warning came as gunmen attacked an Iraqi army barracks in a Sunni area north of Baghdad, killing 12 soldiers. Seven soldiers were wounded in the assault in Diyala province, authorities said. The United Nations and the Red Cross, meanwhile, said Fallujah and nearby areas are facing mounting humanitarian concerns as food and water supplies start to run out.
Sectarian tensions have been on the rise for months in Sunni-dominated Anbar province as minority Sunnis protested what they perceive as discrimination and random arrests by the Shiite-led government. Violence spiked after the Dec. 28 arrest of a Sunni lawmaker sought on terrorism charges and the government's dismantling of a year-old anti-government Sunni protest camp in the provincial capital of Ramadi.
Last week, al-Qaida-linked gunmen seized control of Ramadi and nearby Fallujah, cities that were among the bloodiest battlefields for U.S. forces during the Iraq war. The militants overran police stations and military posts, freed prisoners and set up their own checkpoints.
The United States and Iran have offered material help for the Iraqi government but say they won't send in troops. Speaking in his weekly television address, Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki hinted of a possible pardon for supporters of al-Qaida's local branch, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, or ISIL, if they abandon the fight.
"The war that is being fought by the Iraqi security forces, tribes and all segments of Iraqi society against al-Qaida and its affiliates is a sacred war," he said. "I call on those who were lured to be part of the terrorism machine led by al-Qaida to return to reason."
In exchange, he promised that his government will "open a new page to settle their cases so that they won't be fuel for the war that is led by al-Qaida." Iraq's government has rushed additional troops and military equipment to Anbar and has been carrying out airstrikes in an effort to dislodge the militants.
Skirmishes between Iraqi forces and militants broke out on the outskirts of Fallujah and Ramadi again Wednesday, according to witnesses, and militants blew up a small bridge on the edge of Ramadi, officials in Anbar said. There was no immediate report of casualties.
At least four crew members were killed when a military helicopter crashed in Anbar, according to army and government officials in the province and state TV. The officials said the cause was poor weather conditions in the area and there was no indication militants brought it down. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.
Influential tribal leaders have been meeting to try to find a way out of the crisis and demanded that al-Qaida members holed up in Fallujah get out of town, said provincial spokesman Dhari al-Rishawi.
"They agreed on expelling ISIL from Fallujah. The told them to withdraw … or face an attack by the tribes and the army," he said. That message was echoed over mosque loudspeakers late Tuesday, which also called on fleeing families to come back.
Al-Rishawi and residents reached by phone in Fallujah said at least some of the militants had left the city, which is about 40 miles (65 kilometers) west of Baghdad. It was not clear how many had gone, or whether they were taking up new positions in different parts of the city.
"We, the residents and the tribes, don't want al-Qaida in the city. We don't want to see the same violence we saw when the Americans were here," said Ayad al-Halbosi, a 22-year-old teacher in Fallujah.
Markets in the city began reopening Wednesday and some families returned to their homes, though residents complained of shortages of fuel and cooking gas. Civilian cars and trucks were seen on the road and traffic policemen were on the streets.
The militant gains in Anbar are posing the most serious challenge to the Shiite-led government since American forces withdrew in late 2011 after years of bitter warfare following the 2003 invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein's Sunni-led regime and propelled the formerly repressed Shiite majority to power.
Vice President Joe Biden spoke to al-Maliki for the second time this week, voicing support Wednesday for the Baghdad government's effort to regain control of Fallujah. The White House said Biden encouraged al-Maliki to continue talks with local, tribal and national leaders and said Biden welcomed al-Maliki's affirmation that Iraqi elections will occur as scheduled in April.
The U.N. envoy to Iraq, Nickolay Mladenov, warned that the humanitarian situation in Anbar is likely to worsen as military operations continue. Food and water supplies in Fallujah are beginning to run out, and more than 5,000 families have fled to neighboring provinces to escape the fighting, he said.
"The U.N. agencies are working to identify the needs of the population and prepare medical supplies, food and non-food items for distribution if safe passage can be ensured," Mladenov said in a statement.
The International Committee of the Red Cross also voiced concerns about the growing risks to Anbar residents, particularly in Fallujah. Patrick Youssef, head of the Red Cross delegation in Iraq, warned that ongoing power outages and dwindling medical supplies could leave health care facilities unable to provide proper care.
"We are ready to deliver more life-saving supplies and other humanitarian aid immediately to the areas hardest hit," Youssef said. "But we need to be given easier access and the necessary security guarantees."
Tensions have been simmering in Iraq since December 2012, when the Sunni community staged protests to denounce what they say is second-class treatment by al-Maliki's Shiite-led government. Al-Qaida militants, emboldened by the civil war in neighboring Syria, have sought to position themselves as the Sunnis' champions against the government, though major Sunni tribes in Anbar and elsewhere oppose the group's extremist ideology and are fighting against it.
Schreck reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Associated Press writer Sinan Salaheddin contributed reporting.

Well...they withheld my 11lb cantaloupes and 15lb watermelons just fine. I would suggest these to anyone looking for some.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gloriablue from Melon, & Squash Cradles I have enjoyed using my cradles for my melons and spaghetti squash. Work very nicely, except if VERY heavy. Easy to clean and very effective keeping fruit off the ground. Easy to store, look forward to using them next season.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MAEv from Best This is the best I have seen yet that is of quality material. It does a great job of keeping fruit off the ground until maturity. I intend to buy more next season so I can plant more. These are the best.

text: Can you tell me anything about this machine? Many years ago, before i got really into quilting, my DH found this on the side of the road! We forgot about it (for about 10 yrs.)until he was cleaning out the loft in our garage. He brought it in, cleaned it up and the only thing wrong is he needs to replace the power cord. The wheel turns so smooth! Can you tell from the pics what the value of it is. The date says 1938.

Lately, there's been a rash of lighting problems. These have included dim lighting, flickering lights, ballast failure, and lamp failure. The last two issues are particularly puzzling, because the ballast are only a few years old and the lamps are on a relamping program and nowhere near their expected end of life.
After replacing a few ballasts and lamps based on the idea that sometimes things just happen, it now has become clear that something is causing these failures. The plant manager wants you to find that cause and fix it. What are some possible clues that will help you, and where should you start troubleshooting?
Look at your calendar. That's your first clue. During winter, moisture condenses inside raceway that's exposed to the cold. With April showers, you might not get May flowers but you certainly get even more moisture.
Conductors immersed in moisture inside a raceway can leak power to ground. Especially if they've been damaged by a transient voltage event. The dim lighting and the flickering indicate this may be what's going on. On a circuit that exhibits problems, look at the voltage with a recording DMM and test for ground leakage with a ground leakage tester.
You probably don't trend insulation resistance test readings, or even take them, on 277V lighting conductors. It's hard to draw anything conclusive from a single reading, but perform this test anyhow. At the very least, it will help dry out the insulation. Hi-potential testing will also do that.
If any portion of the lighting raceway runs on or in exterior walls, install drains and/or reroute the raceway to prevent similar problems next spring.

Hey guys,
I just finished coding my first program in c++ and now I am getting this error when I try to run the executable file:
ld.so.1: printqexe: fatal: libstdc++.so.5: open failed: No such file or directory
I don't know much about c++ so I have no clue what this means. I have to turn this assignment in in 3 hours so time is sort of critical.
Thanks in advance,

Asked a question in sql
What are the pros and cons of using `select table_name.*`?
I was thinking about asking this as soon as it happened but I was reading/replying to comments and answers. A user edited the title of the question.
My title:
Is it lazy or bad form to use select table_name.*?
Edited title:
What are the pros and cons of using `select table_name.*`?
I just liked my title better. Is it bad form to immediately change it back to it's original. I'm still kind of new here.
Sub question: Should I be more clear about what I am asking? Is it ambiguous that I might be asking "Which title is better?" when what I want to know is "Should I have changed the title back? Why or why not?" - feel free to edit my title if you think so.
