Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I usually PuG with a friend, and together we form healer + tank (both with good gear). This is pretty much an ideal situation, as any dps will be more than happy to join the group.
The dps selection is based on 3 categories:
1. Armory inspect - there are so many dps out there, I don't see why I shouldn't look for the best
2. Guild - there are several guilds known as server top, which means skill. A player from those guilds, even if not so well geared (alt), might do better dps than random X in full epixx
3. Class - croud control is always welcome. In a group that has 2 shamans as dps for example.. the last guy will have to be a CC, even if doesn't match the criteria from 1 and 2 :)

New this year to the basketball side of Razzball is updated tier rankings throughout the season. Every Wednesday morning I'll update my tiers on a rotating basis for guards, forwards, and centers (i.e. Guards this week, Forwards next week, etc.) The first run through of tiered rankings may not differ much from my original rankings because there haven't been many games played.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Fantasy Basketball Daily Notes
Like his white gooey namesake, O.J. Mayo globbed on 32 points thanks in part to 6 of 8 three point attempts (that's 18 points from downtown for those of you keeping score at home). He only had 2 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals, but the guy was busy carrying the entire team on his shoulders, so we can probably give him a pass.Please, blog, may I have some more?
After another solid game of 14 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks, Marcin Gortat is looking like quite the deal from draft day. On Friday, he went 16/16 with 3 blocks, and on Halloween, he went 10/9 with 5 blocks. Before that, he had 14/11 with 4 blocks.Please, blog, may I have some more?
"The Bearded One" James Harden remains the story in the young NBA season as he put up 45 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in Atlanta last night to lead the Rockets to their second win. Harden shot 14-19 from the floor and hit 2 3-pointers.Please, blog, may I have some more?
In the preseason, people were asking me if they should take Serge Ibaka in the third round or the fourth round, as if those were the only two options. Sure, he's great with the blockin' and all, but I do not consider him a well rounded Center.Please, blog, may I have some more?
In terms of actual acquisition versus projected round/value, James Harden was one of the top three players in any draft I participted in. People were anxious to get a hold of the great bearded one. Why? Well, last night was a reason why.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The NBA is BACK baby and so are the daily notes. This morning, fantasy owners were greeted by their players with a trick or treat. Oh LeBron James (26/10/3/2, 2 3PM), a snickers bar! Thank you Rajon Rondo (20/7/14, 9-14 FG), I love butterfingers!Please, blog, may I have some more?
You've heard it elsewhere but hear it again here, Kevin Martin is now on the Oklahoma City Thunder and James Harden and his beard are now with the Houston Rockets. Also in the trade, Jeremy Lamb goes to OKC and Cole Aldrich plus other guys head over to Houston.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Ask and ye shall receive (unless it's money, I'm broke). If you see anyone I missed or guys that you think should be included (I did NOT miss Hasheem Thabeet), shout it out in the comments. I'll tell you which tier I'd put em in or why I did not/would not include them.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Eric Bledsoe played a whopping 43:38, and in that time he hit 22 points with 11 assists, 9 steals and 5 rebounds. In the preseason, he has averaged 13.1 PPG, 4.6 APG, 5.0 RPG, and 3.0 SPG. Do with those numbers what you will.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Spray Active™ Sleep contains the perfect combination of nutrients, including melatonin and tryptophan, to regulate your natural sleep pattern and leave you feeling well-rested and refreshed. Because travel often disturbs your internal clock, use Spray Active™ Sleep to relieve the symptoms of jet lag. With Spray Active™ Sleep, all you have to do is spray and swallow to get the daily nutrients you need to ensure a great night sleep for a productive next day. Help you fall asleep faster Lengthen the duration of sleep Help to regulate your natural sleep pattern Promote relaxation and reduces stress Powerful antioxidant and immune system support Support a healthy mood balance Help relieve symptoms of jet lag like feeling tired and disruptive sleep Flavor: Mint $15.95 Available exclusively on: Reviews Ingredients Directions Average product rating: 5.0 out of 5 (Based on 1 review.) 100 % would recommend Spray Active Sleep Spray Review Submitted: 8/20/2013 Name: Spencer Would Recommend: Yes Overall Rating: Quality: Satisfaction: Taste: This is an effective product. I have used it for the past several nights and have slept soundly and woken up refreshed each time. Also, I found that I only need a single spray as opposed to the recommended two sprays. Vitamin B3 (as Niacin), 2 mg Vitamin B6 (as Pyridoxine HCl), 2 mg Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin), 50 mcg Folic Acid, 10 mcg L- Theanine, 10 mg L- Tryptophan, 10 mg Melatonin, 1.5 mg Other Ingredients: Purified Water, Glycerin, Natural Flavors, Potassium Sorbate (preservative), Citric Acid, and Purified Stevia Extract B Vitamins are not generally stored in the body so in order to regulate your natural sleep pattern an adequate supply needs to be added on a daily basis. B Vitamins support proper digestion and restful sleep by improving food absorption and metabolization of carbohydrates and fats. B Vitamins support the nervous system and help to form new red blood cells. L-Tryptophan and L-Theanine are both amino acids. L-Tryptophan is not produced in the body but is necessary for protein synthesis, nitrogen balance, and niacin and serotonin production. L-Theanine, derived from tea leaves, has properties which reduce mental and physical stress, improve cognition, and boost mood. Melatonin, a naturally occurring hormone found in the body, is most commonly used to regulate the body's internal clock. Because of melatonin's ability to enhance relaxation and lower stress, it is especially helpful for travelers who experience jet lag, overnight shift workers and people who have sleep difficulties. Adults age 18 and older: Take two sprays under tongue and swallow, once per day. Simply spray and swallow. Spray Active™ sprays are free from most binders and inert ingredients so you don't have to digest as much to get the nutrients you need. For best absorption, food and drink should be avoided for 15 minutes before and after spraying. Spray Active™ Sleep should be kept at room temperature and taken without water. Enjoy!

UK highlights – Ed Davey's first weeks in office
Edward Davey, new Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, has been eager to show he has hit the ground running. Stressing there will be "no change in direction or ambition" at DECC, Davey has sought to allay concerns from green critics that the loss of Chris Huhne may signal a change in Government policy. The Secretary of State has underlined the importance of green growth, opened the world's largest offshore wind-farm, and unveiled a new energy efficiency office in DECC. Davey has rebuffed criticism of subsidies for wind power and set out reforms for the feed-in tariff scheme.
Davey appointed new Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. Edward Davey MP was appointed Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change on February 3, 2012, following Chris Huhne's resignation. Davey previously served as a Minister at the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and, like Huhne, is a Liberal Democrat MP (representing Kingston and Surbiton). Announcing the appointment, Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg stressed Davey's "lifelong commitment to the environment". Trained as an economist, the Liberal Democrat MP was an environmental campaigner at Oxford University and has a strong voting record on action to combat climate change. You can view Davey's first comments to the press as Secretary of State here and a full biography is available here. DECC have also published a review to mark Davey's first week (pdf) as Secretary of State. A couple of articles from The Guardian and Business Green will give you a taste of some of the issues in the new Secretary of State's in-tray.
Ambitions for green growth. Davey's first step as Secretary of State was to underline the importance of green growth to the Coalition's strategy for economic recovery. Amid speculation over whether Davey would be prepared to battle with the Treasury as Huhne had reportedly done, Davey has been eager to stress his green credentials and his commitment to the green economy. In a visit with the Deputy Prime Minister to a green homes testing site near Watford, Davey talked about the need to "marry" economic and environmental agendas. He said: "My priorities are very simple: green jobs, green growth and getting the best deal for energy bill payers. . . There may have been a change at the helm, but there'll be no change in direction or ambition."
Wind-farms present first major test. On 30 January 2012, a group of MPs including 101 Conservative MPs wrote to the Prime Minister demanding that subsidies to "inefficient" onshore wind turbine industry are "dramatically cut." The letter stated "In these financially straitened times, we think it is unwise to make consumers pay, through taxpayer subsidy, for inefficient and intermittent energy production that typifies onshore wind turbines." A copy of the letter can be found here. In response to the letter, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward Davey defended wind power subsidies. Davey said "I've been a lifelong supporter of renewable and wind power and I'm not going to change now". Speaking to The Observer, former Liberal Democrat leader Menzies Campbell, warned that the new Energy and Climate Change Secretary needed to maintain a tough line on green issues. Campbell said "things could get very tough" for the Coalition if there is "any rowing back on the green agenda." Meanwhile, Shadow Energy and Environment Secretary, Caroline Flint, accused the "Tory right" for breaking the political consensus on climate change. The Prime Minister defended Government policy in a reply to the Conservative backbenchers, saying there are "perfectly hard-headed reasons" for building more onshore wind farms, regardless of the UK's renewable energy and emissions targets, as part of a "balanced energy mix."
Energy efficiency a priority. Davey's first speech on 8 February 2012 focused on energy efficiency and the Secretary of State unveiled a new Energy Efficiency Deployment Office based in DECC. The 50-strong team will develop a new energy efficiency strategy and work on the Government's Green Deal, the rollout of smart meters and the increase in renewable heat. Davey said energy efficiency has to be "right at the heart of what we do". A copy of the speech can be found here.
Davey opens world's largest offshore wind-farm. On 9 February 2012, Edward Davey opened the world's largest offshore wind-farm in Walney, Cumbria. The site comprises 102 wind turbines and is enough to power 320,000 homes. Davey said that opening Walney during his first week in office demonstrated his "commitment to continuing the Coalition's work to make this sector a success story for the British economy." Watch Davey's interview at Walney here.
Reforming feed-in-tariffs. On 8 February 2012, Edward Davey published details of the Government's reform of the feed-in tariffs scheme. The Government says it wants to put the scheme on a long-term sustainable footing, to benefit a greater number of people. The increased number of solar photovoltaic installations has put pressure on the feed-in tariff budget prompting the Government to set new tariff levels, but handling of the issue has drawn criticism from businesses and green groups. The Government is seeking permission to appeal against a second court ruling which found it acted unlawfully in proposing cuts to feed-in tariffs for solar installations completed after December 12, 2011, before the consultation on proposed changes closed. An interview with Davey on the feed-in-tariff reform can be viewed here.
Energy alliance with France. On 17 February, the UK and France signed new agreements to cooperate on energy issues and agreed several commercial deals including: a deal worth £400m on nuclear reactors between Rolls Royce and Areva; and a new engineering contract between EDF and Kier/BAM for a new nuclear project at Hinkley Point, Somerset. Together with the Prime Minister, Edward Davey stressed the importance of attracting jobs and investment in clean energy projects in the UK.
Carbon Capture and Storage. Edward Davey has reiterated the Coalition Government's commitment to supporting carbon capture and storage. On 22 February 2012, Davey said the UK had a chance to lead the world in CCS and the Government is backing its commitment with £1 billion set aside to help develop CCS technology.
UK Greenhouse Gas Emissions Up. New figures show that UK greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions rose in 2010, up 3.1 per cent compared to 2009. The increase in emissions has been attributed to the exceptionally cold winter and greater use of fossil fuels, but Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change Edward Davey said "one year won't knock the UK off meeting its long term emission reduction targets."

I rated this 3 stars because I have not made it yet. Want to respond to rating regarding the salt. I believe it should be 1/4 teaspoon of salt and then 1/2 teaspoon of salt. For some reason the "/" was left out. This recipe looks yummy and I plan on trying it.
Chicken Stew with Cider and Parsnips

tl1123 Posted: 01/30/10
This is excellent. Used boneless skinless chicken thighs, added sweet potato, and used a crockpot.
Mitchmon Posted: 01/09/10
I don't know if it's my browser (although I've tried it in Safari and Firefox) it says, at one point, to use 14 tsps of salt/pepper, then later to at the remaining 12, holy crap. The parsnips took 4 times the cooking time to soften up. All in all the flavor was great, but don't expect this to be a quick dinner.
Maxidoodle Posted: 09/26/11
It does sound good, but I have had the problem with 1/4 becoming 14 in other recipes on your site. You sure have a problem.

Rookie cornerback Asher Allen, a third-round pick, was not on the field Thursday after undergoing an athroscopic procedure on one of his knees, according to people with knowledge of the situation. It was a minor procedure and Allen should be ready by training camp.
Vikings coach Brad Childress declined to discuss Allen's absence when asked after practice.
Join Vikings beat writers Judd Zulgad and Chip Scoggins on a usually informative and often irreverent journey inside the Vikings.
Just like the NFL, Zulgad and Scoggins go at it all year long -- on and off the field.

First half of the climb is protected by two chockstone threads. Protected the top section with a number 11 Black Diamond Hexentric. Biggest cam we had was a number 3 Camalot, which was too small.cragsman9000 - Lead O/S - 21/Sep/14 with Neil

Staying calm and cold got me out in the end :-) Next time, Ill stick to laybacking it, or work out a foot jam which keeps my knee on the outside of the crack.robin_hackney - 2nd dog - 05/May/12 with Si
Sunny and warm here. Part of wide crack program so tried to offwidth it but couldn't get knee into crack so had to resort to layback. Managed very insecure offwidth ascent of first half on top rope afterwards but still had to layback the top part harold walmsley - Lead rpt - 15/Mar/12

It's also against the law and potentially dangerous to other motorists to exceed the speed limit. Perhaps all employers should check driving records as well while we're black-listing.
Brilliant assumption: recreational drug use == going to jail soon. Nearly every office has recreational drinkers. I suppose we can use your logic to assume they will all get behind the wheel and kill a bus-load of nuns, babies, and very cute kittens soon.
And to think you may have been hired over a clear-thinking dope smoker.

No, no, no.
Getting the lyrics of classic Punk songs wrong is incredibly easy.
Ad hominem argumentation is incredibly difficult.
To start with, you have to remember the name of the hominem in question.
Next, you have to understand that "argumentation" is not a real word.
Next, ???

THis is why you would fire them due to incompetence, and not due to drug use.
"In my experience, being a woman is a red flag. Women tend to be bossy and mean, especially to us passive geek types. They win arguments by ignoring logic, and they screw over employers by being whores. I didn't always think this way, but two decades of being run over by the XX express have changed my perspective."
How does being a whore screw over your employer?
"It should also be noted that for some reason, they also have an obsession with getting as many people as possible hooked on "anti-depressants" (usually amphetamines)"
What? "Anti-depressants" are most certainly not amphetamines. They're not stimulants of any kind. Whole different animal.
"I for one would much rather work with someone who smokes pot or drops some home-made pills on the weekends rather than work with an alcoholic or someone on anti-depressants."
And I'd work with any of those than someone who isn't on anti-depressants but should be.

I had a call from a London IT recruiting agency last year where they asked why I had a 10yr blank period in my employment history. They hadn't figured out that it was in the usual reverse chronological order.
Quite honestly, I think the guys question was totally legitimate, and Scott's response was extremely rude. Admitting drug use is NOT the same thing as being stoned AT WORK. To simply assume that the interviewer wouldn't be a good worker just because he admitted to using drugs is shallow and rude. Do you also fire people for taking prescription Vicodin?

also, this is just another problem with recreation drugs being illegal - companies can either claim liability because of it, or deny an otherwise qualified and dependable worker from a decent job.

What on earth makes you think that a stoner is going to get meat and bread confused with each other?
I think you've been watching too many Hollywood portrayals of what the effects of drugs are... The only people I've ever seen that resemble hollywood's "stoners" are arrogant rich-kids *pretending* to be stoned.
Even if you pumped me full of pot to the point where I was physically sick, I'd still be able to assemble a freaking maccas burger (with extra vomit of course), but if I did that with beer you'd probably end up with my roasted thumb instead of a meat-patty!

I have a prescription for Vicodin. I am allowed to be totally hammered at work.
I'm allowed to drive hammered, too, right up to the point where I hit somebody. As long as I drive safely, my state of intoxication is not relevant, because you can't punish me for taking a legally prescribed drug unless you can prove I also did something else that was actually illegal.
It's sort of like I get to take personal responsibility for my choices and their results, instead of being automatically guilty for things I might have done (even if I didn't do them) because of my blood chemistry.
But you, you don't have the magic signature. So your drug use is unholy, and that makes the baby Jesus cry. (It would be even worse if you were a DJ, though, that the baby Jesus vomit.)
people are whining over drug tests but write stuff like MMPI or CPI happily...

Actually (if I understand what my lawyer told me a few years ago), in the state of Oregon, it is illegal to "drive under the influence" of *any* intoxicating substance.
The question the officer will ask is "Do you feel any effects from the beer/wine/pot/....?" The only legal answer is "None." As in, "None at all, sir."
Even if the substance is legally prescribed.
Incidentally, we've been having fun breaking new legal ground with medical marijuana, employment law, and (yee-haw!) gun laws!. ;-)

Everyone seems to be assuming that the guy was a drug user, then overlaying their personal feelings all over like a Jackson Pollock piece.
What if the guy was concerned about second-hand smoke from the venues in which he DJed?
A perfectly reasonable request for information which would be directly pertinent to his life.
Plus, this should be the kind of thing which is indicated far in advance (the policy, not the actual testing instance).

Me too (in reply to mtu).
What a fcuk'ed up place the US seems to have become.
I even considered accepting a job offer in the US a few years ago. As I prefer to live in a country where individual freedom and privacy is respected, I thank god that I decided against it.

I would have answered "yes" to the DJ's question and let him finish the interview, but he probably wouldn't have gotten the job after that.
Good luck, pretty much every European country screws over individual freedom too, just in different ways.
Americans freak out over sex and drugs and overregulate them; Europeans freak out over guns and "hate speech" and overregulate them.

Absolute garbage. It amazes me to hear this kind of polarised rubbish from the Republican camp.
Saying that, I do agree with the point that the Interviewer was somewhat hasty in his assumptions. Surely, if the man was qulified and wasn't obnoxious and his "supposed" drug habit didn't affect his performance/personality, it shouldn't make a difference?

Most fast-food joints have procedures in place which ensure food safety. I wouldn't worry about the pothead injuring him/herself. I would worry more about a customer dying from a food-borne illness. Robin Cook used that theme in a book once; the title escapes me now.

I'm guessing he graduated high school in 1996 and that's what they saw. Entry-level candidates are more likely to include this information on their resume.

As horribly late as I am posting on this...
In a lot of companies, drug testing policy has nothing to do with "liability" issues or the dangers of drugs. It's a simple matter of being backed into a corner.
Let's say that John Q. gets hired on with Big Corp. He does his little recreational thing on the side for 6 months without it impacting his work in any way. Great. Then something happens in his personal life and he ends up showing up to work one day - just once - stoned, messes up on his work, and costs Big Corp a contract or a project, or just a pile of money. Now, thanks to all this liberal "drug abuse is a disease" bull, not only can Big Corp not demand reparations from John Q because of a screw up that was FULLY his choice, they can't even fire him AND they have to pay for his drug treatment. Why would any company want to deal with that when they can just drug-test and, to a decent extent, rule out the possibility?
It's not such an issue in other parts of the world because, unlike North America, most of the rest of the world still has some concept of personal responsibility. YOU screw up, YOU pay for it.
Everyone seems to be assuming that the candidate was worried about testing positive for pot. Maybe he's using something more serious, like heroin or crystal meth. Maybe he's not using anything at all, but his question was pretty stupid.

Because everyone gets taken care of, rich or not, and this is better/cheaper for society as a whole?
Bear in mind that healthcare in the USA costs the government MORE than in other countries AND delivers far less to the few people who can afford it and nothing to those who can't. In the free system, hospitals, doctors, and drug companies are prevented from practising blatant exploitation on mandatory commodities and letting people die for the sake of greed.
"It's nice that the US wants to introduce democracy to Iraq - but shouldn't they implement it in the USA first?

In practice, insurance goes up because 'increased service' and 'competition' means paying for any quackery that clients are perceived to desire, such as osteopathy, chiropractry, iridology, color therapy, etc. In the hands of government, only real medicine gets paid for.

The problem is, these tests are arbitrary - no companies are mandatory testing employees home computers for illegal downloads to make sure they are not pedophiles... why draw the line at an arbitrary point (when the money spent is large for bugger-all gain)?

And, you would be first to volunteer to go without life-saving medical procedures should you become unemployed through no fault of your own?
Most people don't realise the amount of blind chance involved in their prosperity. They think they are wealthy because they 'got it right' - a comforting illusion in a scary world.
"Free in the monetary sense always means free-for-me, no other meaning is sensible or even possible. Thus, even if health care is funded by taxes, it's still free, because if I don't pay any taxes, I still get health care."
Wrong. There is really only one sense in which "free" is meaningful - when no human work was involved. Examples would be wind and sunshine - these are 'free' energy sources.
Pretty much every use of the word "free" in political & economic arguments is fraudulent - there really is no free lunch.
Gullible fools like to be comforted by the notion that provided it is 'free' to them (ie. they pay nothing personally), it is good overall. They dare not allow the inkling that they are complicit in theft to disturb their adolescent haze.

Meh. I used to be a DJ, when I was still living in Europe I did the occasional weekend joint and I never got anything but good scores on my Performance Reviews. With the exception of a single year, which was ermm. A long story.
Anyway, I think that in back in Europe, drug testing would not even be legal.

He may have felt that drug testing itself was invasive.
However there was a clear implication is actually not that he was using drugs, but as a DJ could be exposed to e.g. smoke, and potentially be a borderline failure on a blood test or show as badly as a user on a contamination test (hair, skin) despite not ever being under the influence of drugs.
A bit perverse. Anyone with any management skills or nous would have told him what the policy was, and then asked if that would be a problem. It's strange that this would be considered unacceptable instant.
Would asking if employee insurance covers winter sports be OK?

Exactly, I realize posting on an old thread but ... an employer has no business trying to enforce laws. Does the employee have the skills to do the job? Do they get the work done or does their personal life affect their work? Who (should care) if a snort a kee of coke and bang 20 hookers everynight as long as I'm smart and get my work done during the day?
I don't even use any drugs, but the narrator in #1 is a jerk. The guy asked you an honest question, and you treated him like crap.

Peyton Manning has long been the king of commercials, his spots with his brother have been hilarious. My personal favorite is the ESPN facilities tour with them acting like little kids.
The two are teaming up for a DirectTV and NFL Sunday Ticket commercial.
This Eli Manning line wasn't thought out well enough: "It's like I spilled milk all over your blouse by accident (or on purpose)/It's like the milk is like football, and the blouse is your phone."
The video starts with the two of them starts with them getting their hair done and sharing a chat while sitting in barber chairs. Though it seems like they're not at your average barber. Peyton asks Eli who he is talking to on his phone and he explains that he is watching football.
They make fun of the YOLO craze with their own acronym F.O.Y.P. (football on your phone). It has a certain SNL, Lonely Island sound to it at the beginning.

Whether you're getting ready to start a new business or you're looking to grow an existing one, there may come a time when you will need a small business loan.
The first step is to apply for a loan through a commercial bank, preferably one you already have a relationship with. If you are unable to secure financing that way, you can apply for a loan through the Small Business Administration (SBA). The SBA may be able to assist you in getting a loan from a lender that wouldn't normally loan you money without the SBA's endorsement (details from the SBA). The SBA will not consider loan applications until you can prove that you have exhausted traditional lending options.
Regardless of what route you take, you will be expected to have your ducks in a row before you initiate the loan application process.
Your prospective lender will require comprehensive documentation of your personal and business financial status and a clear understanding of your businessâ goals and plans . It will want to get an idea of who you are as a person.
Documentation needed
- Banks will ask for many documents including:
- Bank statements
- Business plan
- Cash flow projection (a projection of income and expenses)
- Tax returns and all related financial documents for both the owner and the business
- Detailed breakdown of existing capital and collateral (including cash, real estate, machinery, vehicles, etc.)
Banks will use all of these documents to determine whether loaning money to your business is a safe bet. There are many factors they will consider, including your business' working assets, its debt-to-worth ratio, the rate at which income is received after it is earned, the rate at which debt is paid after becoming due and the rate at which the service or product moves from the business to the customer. For new businesses, banks will be looking for an educated guess on these indicators and documentation to back your estimate up.
Your role
Lenders will also consider its working assets and how much of your own money the owner and principals are willing to invest.
"Lenders will expect you to contribute your own assets and to undertake personal financial risk to establish the business before asking them to commit to any funding," explains the Small Business Association's web site.
While some commercial banks will allow your business entity to secure and take responsibility for the loan, all SBA loans require personal guarantees from those who own 20 percent or more of the business, plus other individuals who hold key management positions.
Finances aren't the only thing that banks will consider when deciding whether to loan you money. Your personal appearance, attitude and demeanor are all indicators of whether your business will succeed.
The SBA web site clearly warns prospective borrows that a lender's decision to loan money is a subjective one.
"Character is the personal impression you make on the potential lender or investor," states the SBA's web site. It helps them determine whether or not you are sufficiently trustworthy to repay the loan or generate a return on funds invested in your company.
No flip-flops
James Jacobs, a retired president of a financial services group in Dallas and a SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) advisor, puts it more succinctly.
"Don't go in and apply for a loan in your flip-flops," Jacobs advised. "You've got to act like you're in business even if you're not yet."
A comprehensive business plan will say a lot about who you are and what you chances of success are, Jacobs told BusinessNewsDaily.
He advises making sure your business plan includes an executive summary, a business profile, anticipated sales and a marketing plan. SCORE offers a business plan creation kit on its web site, and there are several business plan software options to guide you through the process.
For more detailed help on applying for a loan, the SBA offers a free course on its web site called, "How to Prepare a Loan Package."

NYC's New Public Bathrooms by Cemusa
Many of you may have noticed the new pay-per-use public bathrooms in New York City. We saw the first one at Madison Square Park, and have read a lot of criticism on the loos, which are larger than some of the neighborhood's studio apartments...
Brought to us by Cemusa, the same folks behind the city's new bus stops and newpaper stands, the toilets were introduced early this year. Has anyone seen one, or better yet used one, yet? Via: The NYT's Greetings, Earthlings. Your New Restroom Is Ready.
24 Comments
I know it is civilised and all that to have public toilets. But as someone who has lived and worked here since 1964 I have always cherished the special talent of "real" New Yorkers to know where they can find facilities in any area of the city - including some really nice ones in certain hotels, bars and restaurants. I imagine that like me most folks will go on using that system.
Haven't used one, but I love the picture of the three people gathered around the toilet, smiling at it.
are they going to be well maintained?
The idea reminds me of the ones I've seen in Paris. I also saw a lot of guys urinating outside in the streets (well they were really trying to hide behind cars or against buildings), so maybe it isn't the greatest idea. Maybe it was just the area I was in, who knows.
Matt @ http://www.goodnightmoonfuton.com
erinorea, they're self-cleaning. industrial strength-wise.
say, Lavren reminds me to ask this question: I heard that anyone off the street may use the bathrooms in the lobbies of hotels in the city. Is this true?
Looks like the neo metro toilet!
I think these things are for tourists. Like Lavren, I don't need the city to build me another bathroom.
In SF I've heard of people doing the nasty in there.
yea, 15 minutes for just 25 cents? how are they gonna make sure it is only used as a bathroom?
I don't mean this to sound rude, but...besides the "eww" factor, does it make a difference if it is not only used as a bathroom?
Not if you don't mind the litter of needles and used condoms, which I'm sure sophisticated New Yorkers have no problem with. San Franciscans tended to be bothered by it, but we Westerners always struggle with the glamor of big-city life.
Are they going to be well-maintained? Of course not. And the "self-cleaning" toilets in SF are some of the nastiest places imaginable--right up there with the restrooms at the old main public library.
Why are they gazing so lovingly at it??
As a tourist with young kids finding a convenient bathroom has been a problem so this will be helpful. That picture is hilarious. It looks like it might be baptismal fount, they way those well dressed people are gathered round.
They look like they're praying at a shrine. ahahahahah
"heather leaf" That's just about every city that anyone off the street can use the bathrooms of hotel lobies. Every city that I've been to, at least. I use hotel lobby restrooms all the time.
I like these public ones though. You can do a quick change of clothes or anything in them, it seems. How much are they to use though??
On the flip side, they could turn into a place where women and men of ill repute go to fornicate. LOL.
these were installed because NYC was way behind everywhere else in this particular civility. I think NY'ers, like Parisians, will have to overcome the strangeness of it. Those who know how many awful public restrooms there are (Macys, Lord & Taylor before the reno, NYU buildings) will have a reflexive tendency to think of the horrors that could go on.
I believe the time limit is set for those changing babies and the disabled, giving them time to get it together before the door opens.
Don't they have something similar to these in London?
They should make self-cleaning "rooms" that spray down and everything goes down a big drain. Then no nastiness can survive.
We've had them for years in London. Not quite as big as the ones in your pic look. I've only used them v rarely (outside Cafe Nero on The Strand before my evening class) - but always found them just fine. From memory they're "timed" but it seemed non-scarily ample. You do have to pay so I normally use the free facilities elsewhere... (sort it out, Cafe Nero on The Strand, eh?)
I believe that these things are self-cleaning.
25 cents: Thank God! It's so hard to find a bathroom in the city, this is my new favorite toy.
They're self-cleaning. I used one in London, when I fell down some muddy steps during a visit in '92 and needed some place to wipe & wash the mud off. It seemed very clean - well, at least 'till I got done spraying mud everywhere. But I'm sure it was clean again after I left and it went thru its cleaning cycle.
If these are like the ones in train stations in Paris, be sure to pay. My mom grabbed the door as someone came out and went in. Unfortunately, the timer went off, the lights went out, she was showered with bathroom cleaner mist, and she couldn't unlock the door. Someone had to put money in just to let her out. Let that be a lesson not to cheat! hahaa
That's great that people now have an option to use a public restroom in New York. They installed a few of those in downtown San Francisco a few years ago, and when I lived there, I continued my habit of going to the restrooms that only the locals knew about - hotels, department stores, etc. Just as Lavren mentioned it is indeed a "special talent." These public restrooms are especially great for tourists and those who don't know of any other facilities to use in the City.
Paying 25 cents is a good deal compared to having to buy something you don't really need or want just so you can use the restroom of a fast-food place. And they are usually uber gross. Hotels, on the other hand, are free and mostly clean. I love using to use the bathroom at the Plaza Hotel best.

Blackberry Poised to Ride the Smartphone Market Higher
Adetokunbo is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Smartphones are the new norm. Once, any allusion to smartphones would bring from many a reaction in the form of a commendation to Blackberry (NASDAQ: BBRY). When the company lost its market share others took over, largely based on a combination of the cost-effectiveness and high functionality of their products.
Companies such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Samsung, and Google (NASDAQ: GOOG) have launched their own products and are furiously trying to establish a new standard for smartphones. While I see this as good for the market, I believe that Blackberry will continue to be a significant player because of the quality of its Blackberry 10 and the company's culture of innovation and creativity.
Blackberry's world
The sales success of smartphones is threatening to sink the feature phone market, with it being expected that the sales of the feature phones will fall in 2013. A report from a market researcher at Gartner shows that smartphones are becoming more affordable. Of the 1.875 billion mobile phones to be sold in 2013, 1 billion units will be smartphones; this is compared to 675 million units that were sold in 2012. Over the next few years, smartphone sales will increase due to the products' apps, processing power, and improved wireless capabilities, which could in turn allow for a better accessory integration and solutions that will establish performance benchmarks against the category and overall market. Blackberry did a lot of work popularizing the smartphone concept and showing how a smartphone can provide rich customer experience. It also set the trend in keyboard security and dimension.
Competitor number 1: Apple. Apple's iPhone 5 is a gateway into Apple's iPad, iTunes, iPod, and iMac ecosystem. However, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) has shown through the recent introduction of the Lumia 925 that it is also capable of developing a phone that is a benchmark of high performance.
For Nokia, the company's recent movements have been eye-raising as investors saw its stock pop up after the release of Lumia 925 and a new Asha product – and this was despite a drop in profits and revenues. Nokia posted results of -$0.86 earnings-per-share, and the stock now trades over 150% above its 52-week low.
As for Apple, it gained a market share of 19.17% of smartphone sales last year, second only to Samsung. Owing to unfavorable trends, namely the competition posed by rivals, Apple's stock has been facing a downward pressure. Peaking at $705.07 less than a year ago, the stock has declined almost 65% since then. It now sits around $449.31 per share but has a market cap bigger than that of Samsung.
The second notable adversary is Google's Android. To speak the truth, Android has a head start in the smartphone mobile operating system race due to a wide selection of devices from a diverse range of partners. Samsung, for instance, is a leading Android smartphone seller.
Google's Android therefore has contributed in no small part to its impressive stock performance. Some analysts are eying the $1,000 per share mark for the year. Additionally, research analysts at Cantor Fitzgerald raised their price objective on shares of Google from $900.00 to $1,030.00 in a recent report. The price target indicates a potential upside of 18.71%. Analysts at Topeka Capital Markets reiterated a "buy" rating on shares of Google in a recent research note to investors. The company still has some way to go before it reaches its 52-week high of $920.60 per share, however, so this might be a chance to get in.
Samsung's smartphone sales continue to accelerate. Sales totaled 64.5 million units, up 85.3% from the fourth quarter 2013. Samsung's Galaxy line is very sleek in appearance and possesses a crisp design, sharp screen, and a very fast processor.
Samsung's brand has overshadowed the Android brand in the mind of the consumer. The company's resources and ability to create a wide market reach is a strength that no competitor can emulate for now. From a valuation standpoint, Samsung trades on the cheap side, with a price-to-sales ratio of 1.13. This is on top of its trailing price-to-earnings ratio of 8.57 and an earnings-per-share of 151.67. So I think Samsung could well be worth a look.
Blackberry's main advantage is its reliability and innovation. With Blackberry 10, the company is giving its customers a value-driven product. If one adds the new Flurry Analytics to that equation, Blackberry is the epitome of convenience and a prospect for future revenue growth.
Blackberry's stock has not been all of roses. Shares hit a 52-week low on September 24 last year, but they came roaring back to record a 52-week high of $18.32 in January. The stock is now trading around $14. I believe it will begin an upward trajectory as Blackberry 10 sales steadily rise. I also see stock positively reacting to growth in sales for Apple, Google, Nokia, and Samsung.
There's no doubt that Apple is at the center of technology's largest revolution ever, and that longtime shareholders have been handsomely rewarded with over 1,000% gains. However, there is a debate raging as to whether Apple remains a buy. The Motley Fool's senior technology analyst and managing bureau chief, Eric Bleeker, is prepared to fill you in on reasons to buy and reasons to sell Apple, and what opportunities are left for the company (and your portfolio) going forward.

|Nene, C 38 MIN | 8-15 FG | 4-4 FT | 14 REB | 3 AST | 20 PTS | +9
It wasn't the prettiest game, but Nene stuck with it and finished. Yes, he still shoots way too many underhand line drives at the rim, but Nene was the lone reliable big in this game. He secured the rebound that led to the game-winner and played the best defense he has all year.
|Danilo Gallinari, SF 33 MIN | 1-3 FG | 1-2 FT | 5 REB | 1 AST | 3 PTS | +14
It's hard to give Gallo anything other an 'F'. He was benched for the final play of regulation and the entire overtime. He did nothing but tentatively stand around and hoist threes on offense. Gallo couldn't even hold his own defensively against the wiry Thad Young and he was absolutely torched on every switch. He folded and turned in a truly spineless performance. Let's hope it was a one time thing.
|Kosta Koufos, C 7 MIN | 2-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 4 PTS | -6
The slow-footed Koufos had a rough start against the rookie Vucevic who simply overpowered him. He shoots too many soft hooks and floaters and simply wasn't physical enough for his presence to be useful in this game. He didn't see any action after the first quarter as the small lineups delivered the win. I'll give Koufos a break as he hasn't played in a long time, but he needs to be tougher.
|Arron Afflalo, SG 44 MIN | 5-11 FG | 3-4 FT | 6 REB | 1 AST | 14 PTS | -1
Another frustrating performance by Arron, who was on track for his best game yet with a solid first half. He disappeared in the second half and reverted to forcing shots and generally being un-clutch and clumsy with the ball in his hands. Afflalo did make a big pull-up jumper late and hit two free throws to seal the win. Like Nene, he kept his cool and finished strong despite some poor stretches of play. That kind of guts and character goes a long way to winning games like these.
|Ty Lawson, PG 45 MIN | 6-16 FG | 1-2 FT | 2 REB | 7 AST | 13 PTS | +13
Lawson was frustratingly inconsistent all night long and was thoroughly outplayed by Andre Miller. He is unable to get in a any sort of rhythm and is struggling mightily to finish layups. His turnovers are up and his scoring is down, but Lawson continued to play with confidence and kept attacking when the team looked ready to pack in it.
|Al Harrington, PF 26 MIN | 5-11 FG | 0-0 FT | 8 REB | 1 AST | 12 PTS | -9
Harrington continues to do his job – stretch the floor and defend the post as best he can. Unfortunately he had to team with Birdman in the second half and with the Nuggets switching every screen after the first quarter he had trouble staying in front of the Sixers. I can't fault Harrington's performance and ultimately he stepped in for Gallo in overtime and played a huge part in gutting out the win.
|Andre Miller, PG 39 MIN | 12-20 FG | 1-2 FT | 8 REB | 10 AST | 28 PTS | +18
He was clearly motivated against his old team and flat out dominated. Make no mistake, the Nuggets were dead in the water after a second half defensive meltdown fueled by turnovers – and Andre decided to go out and win the game. This was the best performance of any Nugget this season and I'm still fairly shocked at what I saw the 35-year old Miller just do to his old team on a back-to-back.
|Chris Andersen, C 15 MIN | 2-4 FG | 4-6 FT | 3 REB | 0 AST | 8 PTS | -5
Andersen turned in another sub-par effort and the Nuggets won in spite of him. He played an acceptable first half and followed it up with his worst effort yet, which is saying a lot considering how up and down he has been. He mercifully fouled out early but otherwise played cowardly defense and contributed very little offensively after a first half in which he at least got to the line and scored some.
|Corey Brewer, SF 18 MIN | 2-4 FG | 1-2 FT | 1 REB | 1 AST | 6 PTS | -13
Brewer knows how to play only one way and it's all out chaos when he's in the game. Things are either going great or god-awful terrible when he's in and there's no in between. Overall I liked Brewer's energy a lot although the team defense was wildly inconsistent with him on the floor
With the 2011 NBA Draft only hours away, things are starting to heat up, as the Nuggets have reportedly increased its desire to trade Felton for a top 10 pick. (more…)
With the NBA Draft now less than a week away, it's time Roundball Mining Co. unveils it's top ten prospects, ranked in order, from the one guy fans should be dying to get, to just a flat-out solid prospect. Factors included in determining the player-rankings were mostly size, potential, athleticism and overall skill level. Keep in mind, all the players codified in this post are ones that will likely be available when the Nuggets select at No. 22. You won't find Bismack Biyombo on this list, because 21 NBA teams are smarter than to pass up on a guy that talented, even if he is 24-years-old. So, without further ado, I give you the official Denver Nuggets Big Board 2.0! (more…)
Ryan Feldman of The Hoops Report: "Source at Nuggets draft workout on Wednesday told me Iman Shumpert showed off his crazy athleticism and nice mid-range jumper."
Also from Feldman: "Source at Nuggets draft workout on Wednesday also said Vucevic was more impressive than Jordan Williams, and Malcolm Thomas did really well."
Vic Lombardi : "why the Nuggets have no interest in The Jimmer. None…still waiting on reason—->a certain coach doesn't like his game"
My take: Shumpert is gaining some momentum with Nuggets fans as a popular J.R. replacement, and this showing should benefit his case. He tested out as basically the most athletic guy at the Combine and will likely rely on his supreme physical talent to up his draft stock. At a little over 6-foot-4 with a giant 6-foot-10 wingspan and incredible leaping ability, Shumpert will likely play the role of a combo guard his first few years in the league until he firmly establishes a position he feels comfortable with.
Vucevic, if you remember, was a guy I recently ranked 5th on the Nuggets Big Board but because of the similar traits to a Nugget already under contract — Timofey Mozgov — I stated that we should probably consider other prospects instead. Well, maybe I was wrong, as it appears he has continued his hot streak of performances under the watchful eye of NBA talent evaluators. It's nice to know our front office is examining big men, as its a need we certainly should address in some form over the off season, whether it be through the Draft or free agency. The fact that Vucevic outperformed Williams is not a surprise, because keep in mind, this is the same guy who some scouts felt outperformed projected top-five pick, Enes Kanter, recently at the Combine.
The Jimmer quote just makes my head hurt to be honest. I'm not a fan of coaches interfering with the job general managers and scouts do. I think coaches often times have motives behind their evaluations where as scouts and general managers simply evaluate talent. Though I'd agree that Jimmer wouldn't be the ideal pick at 22 (he'll be gone before then anyways so it doesn't really matter), I also don't think we should bend our considerations based on what coach Karl thinks of him. Last I checked, this was the same coach Karl that vetoed a Linas Kleiza for David Lee trade a few years back. Just sayin'.
With the No. 22 pick in the first round of the 2011 NBA Draft, the Nuggets have a lot of options to consider. Should we go big, regardless of what talent lurks at our selection, or should we simply take the best player in the draft discarding any specific team needs? Though I believe it would be in the Nuggets best interest to select the best available big man, there's no doubt that some of the most talented players hanging around at No. 22 will likely be wing players and point guards, therefore the Nuggets big board needs to take into consideration a combination of these two draft strategies.
