Part of the great fun in having a travel blog is that my readers are as enthused about food as I am. It was great to get an email from one of them when I arrived in Madrid, promising me a Sunday of tapas, wine and walking "just like the locals do". I actually thought La Latina would be quite touristy – it's a famous area, after all. But it was packed with people from Madrid, the occasional tourist thrown into the mix. I didn't realize just how crowded the narrow Cava Baja street would be, people spilling out into the streets, laughing as they moved to the next place.
We started out just outside the La Latina metro stop, on Cava Baja and wound our way up and then down Cava Alta and in the surrounding streets too, the afternoon a wonderful heady mix of terrific food and cheap wine. Many of the dishes in the tapas restaurants are already made, sitting on artfully giant arranged plates on the bar. For those who do not speak Spanish, it's easy to order – once you wrestle your way past the crowd to the bar, just point and receive!
The tapas ranged from the basic to the creative, from bread topped with goat cheese and meat to french fries topped in thinly sliced jamon serrano smothered in egg.
Wine flowed quickly and easily, most coming in at 3 Eur-5 Eur a glass. As afternoons go, I had no complaints – and even made friends with one of the owners, who insisted I wear a tiara for our photo op.
Where to go:
- Juana La Loca (Plaza de Puerta de Moros, 4), more expensive but extremely creative plates. The pintxos were much larger than most of the other restaurants, and take more time to order as they will be made on demand. Definitely try the duck egg with truffle.
- Taberna Txakoli (Calle Cava Baja, 26), for Basque-style tapas and melt-in-your mouth Iberico ham
- Taberna Salamanca (Calle Cava Baja 31), for croquetas (croquettes), albóndigas (deliciously rich meatballs), and a very thorough wine list by the glass.
- Casa Lucio (Calle Cava Baja, 35), for patatas con huevos (fries with eggs) – a cholestorol-laden treat.

Takeaways from early college football games
11 Oct 14Takeaways from college football's noon kickoffs
Get caught up with all of the action in college football.
Get caught up with all of the action in college football.
The NCAA tournament has its last two teams. The Kentucky Wildcats and Connecticut Huskies won their Final Four games Saturday night and are headed to the national championship game Monday night.
"Bronson Koenig grew up in Wisconsin, a fan of Badger hoops. He knows how Bo Ryan's teams have been labeled: 'Boring to watch, really slow,' he said. And the players themselves? 'White, slow, unathletic.'"
Matchups have played a pivotal role through the first two weekends of the NCAA tournament. Don't expect that to change as we head to the Final Four. We take a look at the four matchups to keep an eye on this weekend.
For the third consecutive year, only one No. 1 seed will participate in the Final Four. If you're rooting for the Florida Gators, it's good news. Click here to find out why.
The Wisconsin Badgers just booked their first trip to the Final Four under coach Bo Ryan. Here's why they can win it all.
Follow all the NCAA tournament action with dispatches from USA TODAY Sports experts offering updates and analysis on every game.
Mid-week media sessions at the NCAA tournament are often dull affairs. Not Wisconsin's. Click here to find out what happened Friday when the Badgers met the media.
Frank Kaminsky's versatility gave Baylor fits and could finally get Bo Ryan over the Final Four hump.
Bo Ryan is the best coach you know only a little about. He's led Wisconsin to the tournament every year he's coached there, but will be making only his second trip to the Elite Eight after his methodical system left Baylor bewildered Thursday night.
Follow all the NCAA tournament action with dispatches from USA TODAY Sports experts offering updates and analysis on every game.
How teams and players match up is huge in the NCAA tournament. We take a look at three key matchups that could decide who advances to the Elite Eight.
American head coach Mike Brennan has been on the wrong side of a 15-2 upset as an assistant for Georgetown last year. He'll try to use that experience to shock two-seed Wisconsin.
A trio of highly intriguing match-ups between ranked opponents will present plenty of opportunities to watch multiple NFL draft prospects. Johnny Manziel is the headliner as he travels to LSU. Baylor and Oklahoma State should be a shootout. And the B1G's oldest rivalry is far more interesting this year.
A strong slate of Thursday games takes a bite into this weekend's top action. One heavyweight match-up is still on the docket as LSU will visit Alabama. Wisconsin has an interesting non-conference contest against BYU. Texas Tech meets its opposite in Kansas State — and NFL prospects abound.

During the Naval War College's (NWC) summer academic recess, College of Naval Warfare student Cmdr. Robert Stouse spent seven weeks in Senegal, to satisfy requirements of his Foreign Area Officer designation.
"As the U.S. Navy continues to rely on its partners to handle regional and global issues, I'm privileged to be able simply to pick up the phone or email some of my Senegalese counterparts, leveraging the relationships that this opportunity afforded me," Stouse said of the experience.
Stouse was embedded with the Senegalese navy mostly at its headquarters in Dakar. The assignment was meant as cultural immersion, which gave him new insight to challenges facing other navies around the world.
"The Senegalese Navy was very candid with me regarding some of their challenges, and so I was able to reach back to subject matter experts back in the States and provide examples of how USN handles similar issues," Stouse said.
Among the lessons were the difference in resources available to each navy. Stouse pointed out that the U.S. Navy has about 330,000 Sailors, while the Senegalese Navy has about 1,000. In addition, Stouse said Internet access was not as reliable as on American ships.
While his last immersion was 20 years ago as a midshipman with the French Navy in Toulon, Stouse said communication wasn't difficult, and the French spoken by Senegalese officers was pretty consistent with Parisian French, the language he's trained in.
"Of course, the occasional interjection of Wolof [Senegal's common language] would throw me for a loop, but it kept me on my toes," Stouse said.
In addition to personnel differences, Stouse learned that the Senegalese Navy has entirely different focuses. Sometimes, Stouse said, the Senegalese Navy plays a role similar to that of the U.S. Coast Guard, monitoring illegal fishing and migration.
"But these are serious problems for a number of African nations, so the experience definitely enhanced my perspective on the types of issues that our emerging partners are dealing with," Stouse said.
Stouse also got a glimpse of civilian life in Senegal. He said that Senegalese people provide surprising hospitality to guests, even if they can't afford it. Stouse said the unemployment rate in Senegal is about 48 percent.
Stouse will graduate from NWC in March.

Girls track: Irish send two to state
Dealing with a tough start to the season and with some injuries mixed in, the Rosemount girls track and field team dealt with an inconsistent season.
The hope for the Irish was they would put together their best effort in last week's Class 2A, Section 1 championship meet. Rosemount again had mixed results.
The Irish scored 50.50 team points to place seventh overall as a team. Lakeville North won the team title with 140 points.

Shawnda's Chick Tricks: Things that make YOU better in bed!
You don't have to buy kinky books to know what to do in the bedroom. Instead, it comes down to more realistic factors that you may already have.
You're not judgmental
Being open to different things is essential in a partner. Put aside your judgments and really listen to your partner. You may find that you're into some really interesting stuff.
You're innovative
Being creative and looking for new ways to spice things up is crucial.
You're able to put someone else's needs above your own
It's not about being selfless all the time. It's about treating your partner how you'd like to be treated.
You're Spontaneous
Not just in the bedroom but in general. It's the little things that make a huge impact because they're so out-of-the-blue.

Artist : Dexter Freebish
Song : The Other Side
Album: The Other Side - The Best of Dexter Freebish
Director: Raymond J. Schlogel
Production Company : Underground Planet
I got a message from Chris Lowe, bass player for Dexter Freebish, saying that the band was putting out a greatest hits album that included some new tracks and that they were interested in making a vid. As someone who, like most, loved their tune "Leaving Town" I couldn't help to be a bit giddy!
Up till now I've always stayed away from doing an all black and white video. To be honest I guess I've just seen too many bad YouTube vids that have employed this technique or similarly, a film look filter, as a kind of short cut or crutch in an attempt to make a video appear "artistic". Not that it's never done effectively or even to imply that I used it well for that matter! Just to say that I was never willing to go there. That said, listening to this song a hundred times or more while trying to visualize a performance piece … I never saw it in color.
We started setting up for the shoot at 6 PM on Sunday evening, broke down at around midnight and the video went live that Tuesday before midnight in all it's full black and white glory. Thanks to the band for letting me go this route not to mention being so awesome during the shoot and having a great song to work with! Kyle, Scott, Chris, Rob, you guys rock, nuff said.

Topic says it all. What's the degree of cant on a max con V? was showing some pics to a buddy of mine who is going to start CCW. just received his permit yesterday. He asked me what deg of cant the holster is. I couldn't find any good pics of it being worn and no info about this so I figured I should ask.
I never realized there were so many holsters out there until very recently. Spent some time looking around today and wow...no wonder this site has so many questions every day, there's way too many options . I have a holster on order from Little Bear for my 1911 which I will post pics of. Once that arrives and my friend has that for reference, he can start thinking about ordering something. I also linked this site in his favorites so he can come back and reference it, maybe even join up who knows.
Anyway, the info on the Max Con V would be helpful. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the reminder. One tends to forget about these chapters in the wake of reading 17 pages per week. That does kind of put a clamp on those saying Kishi thought this stuff up on the toilet the day before the manga dropped.
As I see it, I think that coming into this year he's going to start steering away from Sasuke a little and open up some interest in the other side stories. Matter of fact the Kabuto/Anko arc would go real nice with a Naruto training arc. Then he transitions right into the war. I'm sure most of you are tired of seeing Sasuke fight every 4th chapter

Her wings used to flutter until they ripped her from the sky and bound her in chains. An underwater cave is now her home and the only memories she has of flying high are the images she painfully etches onto the walls. The jellyfish mock her with their tentacles and their ability to seamlessly float through the waters and all she can do is fight to break free until the water fills her lungs and causes her to blackout. She's hoping the lights come on soon and that this is all a dream because the marks on her ankles are becoming permanent and any signs she was ever anything different are fading quicker than the high tide.
"You need to stop dreaming about the impossible. It's called the impossible for a reason."
She was 7 and she wanted to be a fairy when she grew up, but they told her she needed to stop being ridiculous and quit dreaming. They took away her coloring books and sold her Peter Pan tape because she had grown much too fond of Tinker Bell and was becoming detached from reality. That was when her wings first began to develop and she had to find ways to hide them from mommy and daddy because she was afraid they would throw her out too if they found out. She learned to pick out her own clothes and tuck herself in at night and she even managed to sneak home a little storybook about fairies. Even now, she still sleeps with it as a reminder that at one point in her life she reached the impossible even though it didn't quite make sense.
"We all played pretend when we were younger, but that was back when we could afford to live through imagination and shove aside reality. Now, we have no choice but to confront reality head on."
She sputters up saltwater and gasps for air where none can be found and the seaweed is clogging her esophagus and threatening to cause her lungs to collapse. The chains have grown rusty and so has her heart and flecks are beginning to peel off and become one with the ocean. Fish eagerly swim by and lap up her exhausted remnants of a heart once strong as if they haven't fed in weeks and they are little golden flecks of fish food. She's lost count of just how long she's been a prisoner of Poseidon and her calendar disintegrated some time ago along with her ability to distinguish between what she was actually seeing and what was just a hallucination brought on by the deprivation of oxygen and the saltwater clinging to each and every pore of her now heavily wrinkled body. She quotes a line from Shakespeare before realizing love is dead and soon she will be too.
"You can always try to break the barriers and prove everyone wrong, but at the end of the day, you will always fall short. Each and every time."
She's finally reached a point where her brain is heavily deprived of oxygen and she knows it's only a matter of time before she suffers a brain aneurism. Her bones have grown brittle and her muscles vanished to where all that's left of her is a ghostly apparition and it makes her wonder if she's still alive or she passed on long ago. She's become so emaciated that her ribs are starting to prod at her chest and tear through her flesh and she can't remember the last time she had anything to eat, besides the words she constantly swallows back down. Her hands now slide right through the manacles that she has been donning on her wrists and ankles for weeks and she swears her captors will find her again and just bring her back, but she still musters the tiny pieces of energy left and slowly paddles to the surface. With one last gasp, she breaks the horizon and lets out a gasp for air as she finds it hard to breathe in air that's not contaminated with salt and everything else that lurks underwater. She reaches for her back and runs her fingers along her spine and frantically searches for her wings, only to find they're there no more and maybe they never were in the first place. As tragedy sets in, it all becomes too much for her and she silently lulls herself into a tear-induced coma.
She was discovered 3 days later by a little girl, a mirror image to the underwater prisoner. The little girl traced her fingers along the marks on the unconscious girl's back, whisking her back into the light. She awoke with a startle, fighting with whether or not she had really experienced the whole ordeal. The little girl scooted closer and wrapped her arms around her new friend and cried into her shoulder. When she broke the embrace, the little angel flew off much to her amazement, dropping a note as she disappeared off in the distance.
"Never underestimate the power of the human imagination. We are in a day and age where the unimaginable is blending into reality and one day, the word impossible will be erased from our minds and stripped from our tongues."

Meh, at the size he needs he'll be fine on most with 12's. And at his weight he'll be able to butter the Coda and Rush just fine as long as he knows how to actually bend a board, and they'll be much more responsive off natural features and the rest of the hill.

While we're on that topic... As Nivek mentioned, no the Blacklist won't be a great board for bombing. It's not super damp and although it's not noodle-soft, it's deifnitely on the softer side. Works great for "all mountain" here in the midwest where we have maybe 500 vertical feet, but on a bigger mountain I'd probably favor a burlier board. Then again, if you're looking for a "do it all" board, it's *capable* of riding higher speeds it just doesn't excel at that like a firmer, damper board would.

wow thanks for ll the replies, I've got a lot to think about! I'll definitely take everyones advice and go for a longer board. As Nivek said though, I think the blacklist will be a bit too soft for me. I'm currently riding a Sierra Stunt 159W and definitely feel like I want to move towards a stiffer board with better carving ability!

The Pulsar generator does the job. The size and weight is just right. Used it several times and no problems. The performance is outstanding. It gives us just what we need to run lights on our boat for fishing at night.. The noise level is low and vibration is little. I am really please to find it at a great price. I have already told friends about it and they are looking into buying one.

So, now you're in the grey area.
You can nominally run 50 miles at 50 mph at zero indicated pressure. If you do that, the tire is toast.
Your tire pressure light comes on at something like 10% below normal, so, say 29 psi. If you were running at 25 psi or so for 20 miles or so at 30 mph around town, my guess (note: *guess*) is that you'd be OK. Two 50 mile round-trips to work at 10 psi on the highway at 65 mph, not so.

Jayakumar Ramdass, former President of Southern India Engineering Manufacturers' Association: In the engineering units in Coimbatore, excluding foundries, 10 per cent to 30 per cent of workforce is from the Northern States.
Most of the units have given them photo identity cards. With shortage of local manpower, the industries here have no choice but to employ workers from other States. They are usually employed for works such as loading and material handling.
M. Arumugam, State Vice-President of AITUC:
The employers should issue identity cards to all workers from the Northern States according to the Factories Act.
Facilities to these workers should be improved in all the units here. The workers should not be permitted to stay inside the industry premises after work. Accommodation should be provided for them outside the factory premises so that the workers can relax after the work hours.
K. Vanniya Perumal – Inspector General of Police (West Zone):
Tirupur police have pioneered in preparing a database of the migrant workers. Police are being trained on generating inputs about the migrant workers and their activities as well as antecedents. In addition, police are being trained in tracking, arresting the offenders when they flee to their native place.
If the profiling is foolproof, every migrant worker need not be looked upon with suspicion.

Voyages of the Black Pearl
I'm going to try to contribute something with some redeeming value around here. I can't seem to get my act together with doing big ride reports, so I'll just try to post some pictures and notes as I get time.
Seeing as it is Easter Sunday, no one showed up for our normal Sunday ride today. That gave me a chance to ride by myself and shoot some pictures of a couple things I've wanted to for several years. The Black Pearl awaits... The first stop was the Troublesome Iron Works. Here we are at the site. Here's a millstone that's really the only indication there is anything significant here... There are a few sections of the stone foundations left, but not much else. Many thanks to the folks who dump their trash and deer carcasses here. Here's a section of another millstone. The iron works became a grist mill among other things after the war. It would be neat to think that some of the walls were here when General Greene and his Patriots were here, but I doubt any of this is original to the iron works.... From the Troublesome Iron Works we headed out to do some random cruising. The cows were out on Hwy. 65... We stopped by to see the MR. "T" memorial. He had his own mailbox.... Someone loved that pig. No encounters here, but we had our eyes peeled... I found this road today; you can see Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock from the same spot. Laconic screwed with this post 04-12-2009 at 09:37 PM |

An idyllic scene...
We ventured down Brickyard road, which I don't recall having been on before... We stopped by this old structure by the railroad tracks and poked around a little. I don't know what this building was; maybe a kiln for bricks? There were quite a few used spikes laying around in the ballast; I hauled one home, maybe I'll hammer it into a knife someday... The Pearl awaits... Further down the road there were more remnants of the past... Fair weather and following seas all day today. Once we got back to the Bethany area I stopped to look at this old building. It looks like it might have been a store. There's something compelling about these old, weathered structures. Does anyone know how warm it was today? Laconic screwed with this post 04-12-2009 at 09:39 PM |

Some History
I wanted to post a little more history about the Iron Works. This is excerpted, added to and edited for brevity without permission from a brochure published by the Rockingham County Historical Society, written by Lindley S. Butler;
Speedwell Furnace (locally known as the Ironworks) was important as a crossroads store, polling place and grist mill for nearly one hundred and fifty years. As the site of one of the few colonial ironworks in the state, Speedwell Furnace offers the historian much information about the little known North Carolina iron industry. (It was illegal during the colonial period to smelt iron. Iron was only allowed to be imported from England.) Furthermore, around Speedwell furnace was an important bivouac fortified during Nathaniel Greene's southern campaign, which led to the final defeat of the British at Yorktown and to American independence. Troublesome Creek became the location of Speedwell Furnace for two reasons – water power and available iron ore. The creek crosses the extreme northern end of a belt of titaniferous iron ore that runs from Davidson County to southern Rockingham County. The ore has too high a concentration of titanium dioxide to be a good source of iron, which may explain why Speedwell Furnace only operated successfully for two years. The first ironworks was established in 1770. The advent of the War for Independence brought a resolution from the Provincial Congress in 1776 " to purchase and repair the iron works in Guilford County (now Rockingham County) for casting pieces of ordinance, shot and other warlike implements for the use of this Province." In 1781, during General Greene's epic retreat to the Dan River following the battle of The (Hanna's) Cowpens, several roads in the area were involved in the complicated maneuvering by both armies. While in pursuit of Colonel Otho William's Light Infantry, British Colonel Banstre Tarleton's Cavalry camped at the ironworks on February 13th. Following the Battle of Guilford Courthouse on March 15th, the American army retreated to Speedwell Furnace and remained there several days to recuperate. General Greene had chosen the site as the location of a second battle with Cornwallis, whom he expected to pursue. The attack never came, as the British had been badly mauled by the Americans and they were very low on supplies. It is assumed that the forge and furnace were in ruins at the end of the war. In 1784 Peter and Constantine Perkins attempted to establish another ironworks on the site, but it appears not to have succeeded. It was sold to George Hairston and John Marr, who operated the furnace until 1792. George Washington visited the ironworks during his southern tour in 1791. By 1810 the works had become a grist mill owned by James Patrick. Alexander Sneed reported that "Flour of the first quality is manufactured here, which finds a ready market at Petersburg and Fayetteville." The Patrick family continued to own a share of the property until after the Civil War. In 1870 the mill produced 600 barrels of flour, 3700 bushels of cornmeal, and the sawmill handled 40,000 feet of lumber. The mill burned and was rebuilt in 1915. It continued to operate under various owners until after WWII, when it was finally closed. Laconic screwed with this post 04-18-2009 at 12:08 PM |

Thanks for sharing this!
A beautiful part of the country and what must be a great place to ride. I hate to admit that I've been THROUGH NC far more times than I've been TO it - and worse, usually it's been in a cage on 95 making time to get someplace "important." I'm going to have to make myself a pledge that next time it'll be on 2 wheels and off the slab. Thanks for the historical material - both the photos and commentary. Fascinating stuff - and it's always great to be able to see some history that's not behind a velvet rope, encased in plexiglas, and locked up in a museum!

Yesterday, Ronnie, Jerry and I visited the John H. Kerr Dam.
John H. Kerr Project John H. Kerr Project was built by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Norfolk District, and is now operated by the Wilmington District. Construction was authorized by the seventy-eight Congress on 22 December 1944, with work commencing in March 1947. Completion date was early 1953. The primary functions of John H. Kerr Project are flood control and production of hydroelectric power. The Project also provides benefits such as wildlife resources, forest conservation, and public recreational uses. Besides the control of floods, the project provides other benefits downstream from the dam through the regulation of flows for pollution and maintaining river levels for fish spawning. Twenty feet of storage is reserved for flood and is designed to control the largest flood on record. Kerr Dam generates an average of 426,749,000 kilowatt hours per year, which is sold to local power companies for local consumption. Since construction Kerr Dam has prevented over $385,638,000 in downstream flood damages. At the beginning and early stages of construction, the project was called Buggs Island Lake. Buggs Island is the name of the Island immediately downstream from the dam and was named after Samuel Bugg, an 18th century pioneer. The name of the project was changed to John H. Kerr Dam and Reservoir by the eighty-second Congress in 1951. John H. Kerr was a Congressman from North Carolina who was instrumental in Congress authorizing the construction. The site was selected for the strong solid granite foundation needed to support the heavy concrete and the availability of rock for construction. The John H. Kerr Project consists of a dam, powerhouse, and switchyard. The Dam is of the gravity type composed of the spillway, intake, and non-overflow sections, an earth-fill wing, and saddle dikes. It was built in 53 sections called monoliths. The joints between the monoliths were sealed to prevent leakage. A grouting tunnel was built in the dam from end to end following the contour of the bedrock. In this tunnel, holes were drilled into the bedrock and concrete was forced under pressure to fill all cracks and crevices in the rock and between the rock and concrete. Drilled Holes were left open to relieve any water pressure that may seep between the concrete and rock. The tunnel also removes any leakage between expansion joints. Total leakage into the tunnel averages between 7 to 10 gallons per minute. Twenty-two floodgates were built in the overflow section. Any floodwaters in the reservoir above the elevation 300 feet are either sold as electrical energy or spilled through these gates. Erosion is prevented at the toe of the spillway by deflecting the floodwater upward in a trough called a bucket. Retaining walls were built on each end of the spillway to direct the flow of the discharged water. Six sluices were built in the base of the dam. These were used to discharge a minimum flow of water downstream during impoundment that was required for about six months during construction. Water to drive the turbines flows through penstocks into a scroll case. The water then passes through the governor controlled gates into the turbine and is discharged into the tailrace through draft tubes and tunnels that deflect the water upward. The turbine is connected to the generator by a shaft 35 inches in diameter. There are seven generators capable of producing up to 227,000 kilowatts of pollution-free power and two generators used for in-house power production. The speed at which the large units rotate is 85.7 RPM. The large turbines produce 45,000 HP and small turbine 17,000 H.P at 90-foot head. Plant efficiency averages about 83%. Each large generator is rated at 32,000 kilowatts and the small one at 12000 kilowatt. The Westinghouse generators produce electricity at 13,800 volts that is conducted by copper conductors to the transformer. The transformers step up the volts to 115,000 volts and the electricity is conducted by copper wire through tunnels to the switchyard. Here, all electric powered generated is conducted onto a common high voltage bus and from this bus six transmission lines transmit power to the Virginia Power and CP& L power companies. Fifty-eight per cent of the power sold goes to Virginia Electric Power Company and forty-two per cent to the Carolina Power and Light Company. About one half of the power is transmitted to various government preference customers such as rural Cooperatives. Back to Top Power Generation The bottom or " Dead Storage" portion of the reservoir remains full at all times in order to provide the minimum water pressure necessary to operate the power plant. The middle or " Power Storage" portion is used for the production of electrical energy and for regulation of stream flow below the dam. The top or & Flood Storage" portion is reserved for storage of flood waters and will remain empty most of the time.Stored water may pass the dam in three ways, namely: (1) through the powerhouse turbines by means of large conduits or penstocks, (2) over the spillway which is controlled by 22 large tainter gates, and (3) through 6 sluices at the base of the dam. A flip bucket at the foot of the spill way dissipates the destructive energy of the water and prevents erosion of the foundation of the dam. Concrete training walls direct the flow of water into the river channel below the dam. To generate hydroelectric power, water from the reservoir flows through the gate-controlled penstocks, rotates the turbines in the powerhouse and discharges through the draft tubes to the river channel below. The turbines are directly connected to generators which produce electric power. The electric current is increased in voltage by large transformers for transmission away from the project. |

Bedford man creates insurance rating system
Karr, a senior vice president of marketing and sales for a Silicon Valley company at the time of the accident, was struck by a car while commuting to work on his bicycle seven years ago.
His self-described second nightmare began after receiving more than $100,000 in medical bills that his auto and health insurance companies refused to pay.
"With my years in industry there's no way to measure quality without being quantitative," Karr said.
In addition to being more reliable and concise, Karr said his system is not subjective. Much of the consumer reporting includes surveys, which don't work in this market because the only reliable way to get the surveys to the proper people would be through the insurance companies, Karr said. Many consumer surveys accept advertising dollars from the companies involved, he said.
He also discovered that claims and loss compensation varies significantly based on where the insured lives and the insurance company involved.
It's difficult to say what the best way to rate an insurance company is from a consumer viewpoint, she said, adding that it's important to look at how responsive the company is when you make a claim and whether it pays valid claims in a timely manner. Premium /loss ratios are a more volatile measure because they can be affected by a year in which the company paid claims on a lot of severe accidents or didn't charge enough to cover the risk of policies it wrote, she said.
"There's a lot of ways to rate an insurance company for financial stability, but there's not a lot of statistics out there for customer service," McFadden said.
Karr is making his service available nationwide with the help of a recently-launched Kickstarter campaign. The $20,000 raised through the campaign will be used to collect the financial data necessary to complete an auto insurance rating service for the entire United States. Any amount over $20,000 will be used to create rating services for other types of insurance including health, home or life insurance. The Kickstarter website allows individuals to fund private projects.
In the long run making the information easily available nationwide will help create transparency and competitiveness benefiting the industry, customer and shareholder, Karr said.

Originally posted by Shivam I also played AO for about a year, quit before Shadowlands. The main problem with Funcom has been to release substandard products. Their concepts and ideas have always been pretty good, like with towers and cities in AO. However, the execution has not always been most user friendly. I hope they learned from AOC that they cannot publish unfinished game, if they want to keep their customers. This time people will be much more cautious before committing to buy their product, so they must deliver what they promise...AOC was a pretty solid game, but it did not meet the expectations of majority of players.

I'm kind odd because I don't get the whole MMO company hate that people have. I judge the game itself. If I don't like the game, I don't like that game. If a company produces one or more games I don't like, means that I am more concious in buying their next one. I might wait for a trial, maybe wait to see what the community is saying about the game, or I avoid it. However, I don't have an emotional attachment one way or another towards the company. They are coming for you! |
I'm most certainly not a FC hater and although AoC was a pure garbage and don't regret playing it for a couple of months. Still I would prefer real things over words. They can say whatever they want but in the end only the game and customer service are what matter. I really hope that FC can come out with a decent and playable MMO at last. |
Originally posted by mgilbrtsn Personally I don't hate any company like that, but when a games company has released 2 MMOs, and both have been released incomplete, with missing features and so buggy that large sections of the game were practically unplayable makes me wary of getting their 3rd released MMO on release day. What can men do against such reckless hate? |
Originally posted by L0C0Man I do understand people holding back a little on Funcom. But the coding is more stable and what I have read in artikles the game loocks stunning and stable 6months before launch. AO was launch way back when Funcom was a werry smal gaming company with werry little resorces and there was not many games like that out there. AoC had a brillint launch for a few weeks before starting patching the game and adding a hell of alot of buggs. |
haha I always say electric boogaloo after a sequel reference. I don't know which secret society to be anymore. At first I was going to be Dragon because the downtown market place in Seoul looks so awesome like Shenmue or Yakuza games. But then I saw Brooklyn and was all about Illuminati. Now the Templars are sounding good mainly because they seem the least popular and I'd love to play the "spoiler" faction in a 3 faction pvp scenario. In any case, I can't wait to get my hands on this! |
Funcom usually end up making a decent game, however, after AO I waited to see what the launch of AoC was like and after the launch of AoC there is absolutely nothing they could say to convince me to even think about giving them any money till after it has launched. Obviously, just because their previous titles had bad launches it is not certain that this one will also be a poor launch, but it does suggest a higher probability in my opinion. If the game is as interesting as folks are making out then I would suggest they did away with the hype altogether, word of mouth will be their best friend and less folks on launch day should result in less stability issues, whining and funcom forum hate. Save some money from the marketing push and put it back into the game, that way you won't whip up players into a frenzy of anticipation only for them to be disappointed come release. If it is innovative and stable then the good feedback from the early adopters will be worth millions in good advertising and it won't cost funcom a penny. |
Originally posted by Torluk If you compare the hype Funcom produced for AoC and compare it to TSW, you will probably notice that they are thinking the same thing. They have been very low key and they are holding back a lot of information. It does lead to some confusion though, one guy on the forums here where convinced they wouldn't have crafting because they haven't presented it yet. I got to try it a bit earlier today and the storydriven part was very good, particularily since I usually just skip through those parts and didn't here because I thought it was interesting. :) |
Originally posted by VincentG85 They also have years of bug fixes into Age of Conan and the game is still buggy as hell. Stay away from this game Failcom will ruin it. It is just going to be another cash n grab release. |
Games at launch? Not with someone elses money:) 3-4 months after launch? I most likely will try a game by Funcom. They do eventually get the games to be playable and mostly fun after a while. But i am extremely gun shy on any launch they do. |
Originally posted by tank017 Agreed. I'm taking a wait and see approach to pretty much everything coming up including GW2, Blade and Soul, etc. I'll stay playing my current MMO and if these games have a free trial then I'll check them out. I'm not spending any more money on pre-orders or game hopping. I will pay when I know I like the play. Curse you AquaScum! |
Got to try the beta and I am very impressed. The game has so far been 100% stable, it just misses some minor polish, for instance the icon that shows quest difficulty is a bit small. The quests and combat works very well and the graphics are awesome. I am a former AoC player, so I know what a buggy game is, and this ain't it. ;) |

I left AoC because they spent a year making the engine for TSW while tell you how great it was going to be for AoC to have the new engine. I think AoC is in better shape now but I feel I at least partly paid for TSW without ever getting to play the game. |
Originally posted by Sasami For me lack of content is acceptable because most players who have this notion that if a game doesnt contain 98676 raids or dungeons is uncalled for. What the hell do you expect when you play 14-18 hours per day 7 days a week. When the average gamer takes 2 months to hit level cap and you hit it in 1 week something is wrong on your end and not the developers. Now with that being said and with out me acting anymore trollish then I will state categorically both AoC and Anarchy Online were released way to soon and with tons of bugs, lack of polish and almost zero support or development awareness of htier issues. This was the problem that gamers cannot forgive and is the reason why Funcom has earned the monker of Failcom. |
Hater? Far from it. Skeptic? Hell yes. I've learned long ago to take hype and info regarding a game with a grain of salt. I'm more skeptical about TSW due to AoC at it's launch. Sure, AoC may be better now, but asking me to trust a company that fooled me once is a stretch. "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, |
Originally posted by Zylaxx How is lack of content acceptable? I'm not asking for insane quanities of stuff at endgame, but you have to have something there to keep people playing even at cap. Aoc at launch barely had anything to do once you hit cap. Bringing up the hardcore vs casual player debate is not a valid point. You then venture into the realm of discriminating between player types. "You played too much that's why you're bored." "You play to little, that why you don't have good gear, and you're not max level." As a developer, one must consider the context. "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, |
Originally posted by VincentG85 1. The majority of complains about AOC weren't engine related, but because Gaute, Ellingson and Thorvaldsen outright lying to the fans and supporters of that game over and over again on the mainpages of every huge gamingwebsite. 2. Since Funcom aren't "fire and forget" developers... how is drunken brawling doing? or mounted combat? or formation combat? I've got a message in return to you, Joel: I will so enjoy to just lean back and watch TSW going down. And i have no doubt that Failcom will do the best to keep me entertained that way. |
You guys forget EIDOS forced Funcom to launch AoC in a crap state becuase they were running out of money and needed fast cash. After 6 months the game became awesome (lots of patching), no need to say how good it was a year after, overall the best mmo i've ever played (stating the fact i started playing 6 months after release.) So that's it basically i really hope they end up with a pretty decent MMO, best of luck to Funcom, the MMO genre needs fresh stuff. |

Made as part of Christmas cookies giveaway. Was just ok, nothing special.
Great recipe. My kids (21, 19, 17) loved them. I didn't use cardamom. I added nutmeg and vanilla extract...and just a touch mote molasses. I baked both sheets on the middle rack for about 9 minutes.
Used applesauce for the butter. Perfect texture. Needs more spice, would add cloves next time.
I love this recipe-- I'm not a great baker and they burned out well! The cookies are big, so don't crowd the cookie sheet. I added grated ginger to the recipe, and added the littlest amount of freshly ground pepper to make it a kind of ginger molasses cookie.
Great, easy recipe. End result looks and tastes like a bakery bought cookie. The cardamom is nice, but can be omitted without sacrificing too much flavor. OK to use salted butter, but omit added salt if you do so.
I just made these cookies as an alternative to the typical holiday sugar cookie. They were much easier and did not require icing which is great. I'm going to make them for all of my friends and family for the holidays. Come check out my pictures of this recipe at www.pasadenadaisy.com, @jennyj1122, Instagram and Facebook
Can someone explain to me what the purpose is in placing the racks in the lower and upper third of oven? Which rack do we cook it on? If we use both racks, the cookies will not cook the same. Why wasn't a better explanation put in this recipe?
These cookies are marvelous. I doubled the powdered ginger, which made them pleasantly spicy. Also I added raisin puree and decreased the sugar just a bit. Delicious and nutritious!
I loved them!! They were amazing, crunchy on the outside and nice gooey inside, with nice flavors of all the spices. Everyone I made them for loved them!
This is my go-to spice cookie. I change the spices depending on what I have (or feel like) and they always come out great with any combination of cardamom/ginger/cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves in them.

Iraqi lawmakers give US security pact the nod
The pact sets out a three-year timetable for US troop withdrawal. A public referendum on it will be held in July.
For more than a year after he was first appointed Iraqi Foreign Minister in 2003, Hoshyar Zebari recalls, he was routinely stopped by junior American soldiers saying that he was not authorized to enter the Green Zone. "I'm the foreign minister!" he would tell them.
Thursday, as he prepared to celebrate Parliament's passage of an agreement that essentially transforms the US role from one of occupier to invited guest, he sees progress. "We've come a long, long way," says Mr. Zebari.
The historic pact, passed by 149 of Iraq's 275 parliamentarians, calls for America's 140,000 troops to pull back to bases outside Iraq's cities by next June and leave the country entirely within three years. But it also mandates a public referendum on the deal next July. If Iraqis reject it, US forces could be asked to leave much sooner than 2011.
The US and Iraq began negotiations more than a year ago on the so-called Status of Forces Agreement as well as a broader strategic framework governing US-Iraqi relations. With an insurgency still raging in parts of the country, the United States felt it had enough leverage to continue to demand unprecedented powers. Under rules imposed in 2003, for example, Iraq was the only country in the world where US contractors were exempt from local laws, US officials said.
