Homeowners insurance
Condo insurance
Renters insurance
Umbrella insurance
These are just a few of the reasons to consider buying flood insurance today. (Not to mention the fact that your lender may require that you have it.)
And here's one more thing to consider: According to FEMA's Floodsmart.gov, a mere 6" of floodwater in a 1,000 ft2 home could cause over $20,000 of damage.** That's $20,000 that the right flood insurance policy could save you from paying out of pocket. And since the average policy costs about $600 a year* — or roughly $1.64 a day — that adds up to pretty significant savings.
Flood insurance policies come in 2 forms: one (called Building Property coverage) covers the structure itself, while the other (called Personal Property coverage) covers the things you keep in your home. For optimal liability coverage for your home and belongings, it's a good idea to get both forms of coverage. (Renters and condo owners will be happy to know they can get Personal Property coverage too!)
Both coverage types help pay for the repair and/or replacement of the covered items listed below (up to the limit you select when you buy coverage).
Building Property coverage can help protect and pay for:
Personal Property coverage can help repair or replace:
Personal Property coverage will help pay up to the actual cash value of these items (that is, the original price minus depreciation) for a covered incident.
Keep in mind that water damage and flood damage aren't synonymous. Flood insurance only applies to water damage that is directly related to a flood.

Flood insurance policies are underwritten by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Coverages, discounts and billing options are subject to state availability, individual qualification and/or the NFIP's underwriting guidelines. New flood insurance policies are subject to a 30-day waiting period prior to taking effect. This is a brief description of coverage available. For complete details, including exclusions and limitations, please refer to the policy you will receive when you purchase the coverage. Flood insurance claims are processed by the NFIP. Esurance provides customer service for the policies but does not underwrite or pay claims for them.

Pokémon As Street-Fightery Fighting Game
This is a 6-minute video of 'Pokémon Type: Wild', a fan-made (playable!) video game that re-imagines the turn-based franchise as a fast-action brawl complete with special-move animations. Admittedly, I do hate taking turns playing video games. I'm more of an crazed button masher. And by buttons I mean beans. And by masher I mean counter. I'm a bean counter, okay? A F***ING ACCOUNT. God I hate my life.
Hit the jump for the video and a link to the stand-alone downloadable game.
Note: Per install instructions, "If it doesn't work on your computer at first, try right clicking the application, clicking properties, and changing the compatibility to Windows XP Service Pack 3."

Stockton Golf & Country Club
Stockton Golf and Country Club was established in 1914 by a group of local citizens
when there were only three golf courses in California. The clubhouse was an elegant
building that sat overlooking the channel, and soon Stockton Golf & Country Club became known for it's
charm and grace, and interest to spread
like wildfire.
In the late 1920's, a magnificent eighteen-hole, park-style course was designed by Sam Whiting to replace the original nine-hole course. Stockton Golf & Country Club provided the community with a source of recreation and a place of social gathering. Over the years, changes and improvements continued at the country club.
In 1954, a new clubhouse was completed, providing the members with an unparalleled experience. The golf course itself has received new irrigation systems as well as a new drainage system. In the mid-1990's, all eighteen greens were rebuilt according to USGA specifications. Furthermore, Stockton Golf & Country Club was honored in 1990 by being designated as one of the golf courses to host the qualifying rounds for the US Open. Many prestigious golfers have also been hosted over the years including Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer, Doug Sanders, Gary Player, Lee Trevino, and Johnny Miller. In addition, the club is proud to be known as the home course for Ricky Barnes, 2002 US Amateur Champion.
Our country club has grown and matured through the years without losing its youthful exuberence. In 2003, the members approved building a brand new clubhouse that includes a state-of-the-art fitness center and member dining rooms with spectacular views of the golf course and San Joaquin River. This new clubhouse, championship golf course, sparkling pool and enthusiastic membership ensure that Stockton Golf & Country Club provides a rewarding experience. While the new clubhouse continues to redefine our standard of excellence, we celebrate our core values of family, fellowship, and service that exemplify the tradition of our club.

But he stands strong in his analysis of the Bible as a symbolic work and calls Christ's followers today to recognize their savior as a "boundary-breaker," not a "blood offering."

The atheist and the theist both want to ask the same basic question: Do you believe in God or not? Often they are not interested in going much deeper than that. The oft-repeated response a famous preacher once gave to a religious skeptic went, "Tell me about the God you don't believe in. Chances are I don't believe in that kind of God either."

Personally, I read it because I was gratified by Dr. Aslan's skewering of Fox News reporter Lauren Green, who tried and failed to re-ignite the crusades of the 14th century by questioning Aslan's motives for writing the book in the first place: Why would a Muslim care about who Jesus might have been, and how dare that person presume to be an expert?

Shocking and challenging, these were works in which Jesus didn't die, took revenge on his enemies and kissed Mary Magdalene on the mouth – a Jesus unrecognisable from that found in the traditional books of the New Testament.

These grand words are etched in the American consciousness, and serve as a preamble of sorts to the Constitution's subsequent ideal goal of "a more perfect union." With the recent split Supreme Court decisions over voting rights and marriage equality, along with and passage of an immigration reform bill in the Senate that naysayers declare is DOA in the House of Representatives, it would appear that while progress has been made, we clearly remain a work in progress, as well.
As we prepare to celebrate our Independence Day holiday this year the fireworks have been set off a little early with the debate over the intelligence surveillance practices of the so-called Patriot Act by a government that was established of, by and for the people. Call them heroes or traitors, whistleblowers or hack-tivists, there are also a growing number of anti-authoritarian tech geeks who claim to be motivated less by notoriety than a certain principled conscience to which they claim to have pledged a higher allegiance.
So, what is the nature of "natural" or "divinely-bestowed" rights? What of human conscience, earthly authority, and more? And – for those of us who might consider ourselves both a red-blooded American and Christian of one sort or other — what might constitute a "Christian" conscience, based on a Jesus life-ethic?

read moreA typical interpretation when reading the Book of Revelation is John's attempt to answer the interminable question: How exactly will God, once and for all, set things right? When will the "sorrow and weeping be no more," and the "tear wiped from every eye?" After reinterpreting over and over again the imminent end that has been repeatedly put on indefinite hold, it merely begs the question, why the postponement?
When Revelation is instead understood to be political commentary spun in the form of a fantastic allegorical tale that can be reinterpreted and applied again and again, the question in each succeeding era has more to do with asking the question: Who is the Whore of Babylon, and all she represents? How can we be so easily seduced? And have the words and life of the Galilean sage been lost, even from the time John had his nightmarish vision to our own succumbing today? Read more.

By seeing with new eyes, through a clear lens, we can experience and live with a simple, straightforward faith that is globally inclusive, open, and compatible with a progressive, scientific worldview.
read more21st century Christianity is thus wedded to the world view of its 1st century scriptures, its 4th century creeds and its 13th century liturgies. Consequently Christianity presents itself to potential modern believers encased in a series of doctrinal and liturgical forms, undergirded by a theological point of view that communicates almost nothing to those people who gather in church to worship. Why is there any surprise that the number of worshipers is in steep decline? Modern Christianity offers only two alternatives. The first is to close our minds to the explosion of knowledge in order to build a protective fortress around the religious formulas of antiquity.

It's perhaps in his favor that he's an extremely reasonable man, and that many of these objections were his own, at other times in his life. A powerful and practical introduction to the church for newcomers and old-timers alike. Topics include belief, the creed, sacraments, prayer, and belonging.

Accelerator Update for May 18, 2009 - May 20, 2009 |
Monday May 18 The day shift began with Operations monitoring the Tevatron (TeV) store 7057 (5.21E31) and the Antiproton Source stack (11.6E10), with the Recycler and Main Injector (MI) off for access to replace a failed MI magnet, with the Linac and Booster off due to MI work, with the Meson MTest, MiniBooNE, and NuMI experiments off due MI work, and with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) and D-Zero (D0) experiments using the colliding beams. Support personnel had the quadrupole magnet at MI-42 installed and its vacuum leak-checked by 9 AM. Operations terminated store 7057 at 9 AM. A D0 access followed and continued through out the day shift. RF personnel reported that they had swapped out the bad power amplifier for a RF station (MIRF13). Also, technicians filled the kicker with fluorinert cooling fluids. MI was out of access around noon. Operations established a MI ramp around 2 PM. Operations established beam to MiniBooNE by 2:15 PM. Operations had stable beam established to Pbar, NuMI, MiniBooNE, and MTest by 3 PM. Operators monitored the vacuum at MI-42 and increased beam intensities as appropriate. The D0 controlled access was completed by 8 PM. Operations disabled the MTest beam at 9 PM. Operations put the TeV into HEP shot setup at 11:15 PM. Tuesday May 19 The midnight shift began with the TeV in shot setup, with Operations monitoring the stash (181.2E10) and the stack (34.6E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. Operations established store 7061 by 12:55 AM with an average initial luminosity of 20.3E31. Operations established beam to MTest by 2:15 AM. MI personnel conducted coalescing studies all afternoon. Operations terminated store 7061 at 5 PM and then put the TeV into HEP shot setup. Operations also disabled the MTest beam. The TeV quenched during shot setup. Operators and TeV personnel investigated for the rest of the evening shift. A Recycler stash of 100E10 was lost at 9:15 PM. A cause could not be determined for the sudden beam loss. As a check, Proton were injected into Recycler for an orbit check; also an antiproton transfer was injected into the Recycler. There were no problems. The TeV cryo system had recovered by 11:40 PM. Wednesday May 20 The midnight shift began with the TeV quench investigation continuing, with Operations monitoring the stash (62.0E10), with Pbar stacking (14.3E10), and with NuMI and MiniBooNE taking beam. TeV personnel made a horizontal change at TeV sector F0, lowered the chromaticities in the squeeze sequence, and adjusted the D0 colliding beam crossing angle. Operations established beam to MTest at 4:20 AM. Operations put the TeV into HEP shot setup at 4:40 AM. Operations established store 7066 at 6:15 AM with an average initial luminosity of 16.9E31. The Plans for Wednesday The plans for today are to stack, stash, and store. |
