Buying a refrigerator can be a small investment or a big investment but what's key is that it be a wise investment.
1 Is the fridge for you or for your property?
The right refrigerator for you is one that meets your cooking habits and lifestyle needs. The right refrigerator for your property is one that's complementary to the scale and value of the property, and which will enhance its value if you choose to resell. Sometimes, these qualities overlap – which is great! Other times they're in conflict.
For example, let's say you're an avid home-entertainer who cooks elaborate dinner-party menus for your wide circle of friends. This would indicate a large-capacity fridge with platter-friendly, French doors and individually controlled cold zones would be the right choice for you ... except that you live in a tiny one-bedroom condo. The majority of one-bedroom condo buyers aren't looking for a professional-capacity fridge, and won't pay a premium for it.
In fact, says Janice James, a real estate sales representative with Re/Max Escarpment Realty, Hamilton, Ont., it could make the sale harder. "You can have a beautifully renovated small kitchen but it'll be overpowered by a huge fridge that dwarves the rest of the room," she warns.
Remember: Context is key. In general, the higher-end your property, the higher-end you can and should go with your appliances. The more entry-level your property, the more modest your fridge should be in features and price tag, says Janice, who has over 20 years experience in the industry.
That said: if you're buying for your "forever home," choose your refrigerator based on the features that matter to you.
2 What style is right for your needs?
Refrigerators come with various bells and whistles, from exterior-door water and ice dispensers to Internet touch screens, but only four main styles.
Side-by-sides place the fridge and freezer compartments beside one another, vertically. These models use the most energy to run. Average capacity: 22 to 30 cubic feet.
Bottom-mount freezer models put the most-frequently accessed section of the unit – the fridge – at chest level, for less stooping. They're more energy efficient than side-by-sides, but less so than refrigerators with a top-mount freezer. Average capacity: 19 to 25 cubic feet.
Top-mount freezer models are the most common fridge style. It's the most energy-efficient model. Average capacity: 14 to 22 cubic feet.
French-door fridges have a bottom-mount freezer and a fridge compartment with a pair of doors that allow for versatile placement of larger trays and platters. Average capacity: 22 to 30 cubic feet. By comparison, commercial-kitchen or pro-kitchen style fridges average 27 to over 49 cubic feet capacity.

HAMPTON, Va. -- A spokeswoman for Hampton University in Virginia says three people have been taken to a hospital after a shooting in a dorm.
Spokeswoman Yuri Rodgers Milligan says police believe the shooter is a former student who was one of the three injured early Sunday.
A night manager for the Harkness Hall dorm at the school in southeastern Virginia was also hurt.
The third victim was not identified but was not a student.
Milligan says all three are alive but she doesn't have an update on their conditions. Officials don't yet know the shooter's motive.
Per university policy, all students, faculty and staff were notified about the situation via text message and e-mail.
The school remains on lock down while police investigate.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim isn't on board with paying college athletes.
``That's really the most idiotic suggestion of all time,'' Boeheim said. ``I don't believe players should be paid. I believe they are getting a tremendous opportunity.''
Boeheim took exception with retired NBA star Chris Webber's complaint he received nothing after his team shirt was sold. In a documentary released earlier this year, Webber lamented that while a student-athlete at Michigan, his team jersey sold in a campus store for $75 without any money going to him.
Boeheim noted that Webber received a free education and the exposure that allowed him to go on to a lucrative professional career.
``He didn't get his $30,000 or $40,000,'' Boeheim said. ``But he got his money.''
Boeheim also noted that college athletes who demonstrate a financial need are awarded Pell grants that can be $6-$7,000 on top of the free tuition, room, board and at least a half-dozen pairs of athletic shoes a year.
Boeheim is preparing for his 38th season with the Orange, a team that made the Final Four last season for the fourth time since 1976. The school officially joined the Atlantic Coast Conference on July 1, leaving the Big East.
With Duke and North Carolina on the schedule now, Boeheim assured fans that new rivalries will blossom. He pointed out that before the Big East formed on May 31, 1979, by far the biggest game of the year for Syracuse was against in-state foe St. Bonaventure. He figures fans will forgive the fact that Georgetown is not on the schedule this year when they see 35,000 people in the Carrier Dome for Duke on Feb. 1.
``It's a great league,'' he said. ``I think this league will be the greatest basketball league ever.''
Syracuse and Georgetown plan to continue the rivalry going forward, and former Big East rivals Villanova and St. John's remain on the schedule for the upcoming season.

Skip to comments.Cars Dancing on Ice Video
Posted on 09/21/2013 12:10:20 PM PDT by Errant
Nothing to do with ice ages, but I found this beautiful.
Russian Extreme Drive instructors club displays cars driving on ice in a in a close contact dance.
(Excerpt) Read more at iceagenow.info ...
Winter's coming, better get out there and practice your driving on ice skills! Better yet, take the training course!!
Don't understand Russian. What was this advertisement selling?
Looks normal, like the idiot yuppie drivers after the first Maine snowfall.
My guess: Studded winter tires.
What, no triple axle?
(I used to be paid while driving on ice a few days/nights a year.)
Heck, even I was able to pull off a triple axle move while crossing a frozen bridge, once. lol
Talented drivers, to say the least.
They have something called "black ice" in Alaska which leads to brown stains on the driver's seat.
Just another overnight success (after years of hard work).
The worst is when the surface temp is near freezing.
They have that where ever there is freezing rain and night and the staining effect is the same everywhere.
I had the sucker translated. It's an 'extreme driving school'.
Maaco/Earl Schieb auto body repairs.
Thanx, Errant
Very cool....
I've been thinking about snow tires lately.
We get that here in northern Ohio! Darn snowmist settling on cold surfaces off the lake....
The skaters are beautiful. The cars scare the living daylights out of me!
Drivers of front-wheel drive cars can experience a kind of deja-vu if they encounter it in a corner. As soon as they feel the car start to slip they lift their foot off the gas pedal and suddenly they're looking at where they've been.
Looks like winter morning on my driveway turnaround...
YMMV but I prefer the RWD, it's much more exciting to drive.
Lucky for you, I had to do that for free while commuting to and from my job in S.E. Michigan during the winter........
I did that for decades too.
Note that MI used to allow studded tires (at least until I could afford some :-(... )
A delicate touch, it takes.
Most driving takes a 0.3 coefficient of friction which is about that of wet surfaces. At 0.1, one has to be more deliberative and plan farther ahead.
For RWD slides the key seems to be to steer into the skid, backing the throttle off to just neutral and try to follow the rear end back around with the steering wheel as soon as it starts to straighten out. I think screwing up the last part is what sends a lot of people into the ditch on the opposite side of the road.
OK, I got the all wheel drive, bias front, rear parking brake maneuver. The last maneuver scene where they are going in a circle and biasing to the rear? Anyone? Anyone?
Don't thank me, thank holiday inn express... :)
Seriously, if you look close, at the beginning of the maneuver scene, you can see the right front go from reverse to forward.
Looks about right.
I should have stayed at a Holiday Inn Express instead of flipping my brand new '69 Mustang end over end down the icy canyon road. But that was my first introduction to seat belts.
The 69 Mustang was the best looking car ever!
>>>Talented drivers, to say the least.<<<
You have to learn it to make daily commute in Russia with only about 4 months a year without snow there.
Now we know why they all have dash cams
Triple Axel on the bridge is probably much better than a Triple Lindy off the bridge.
Very nice OP! Thanks for posting. I enjoyed watching the video.

Too loud, too lateOctober 07,2013
A very vocal minority in our country seems to believe that our problems are mostly government and social programs. They scream for "cutting taxes," "shrinking government" and "cutting spending." It seems to me that they are far too loud and much too late in their concern.
These people see the number of Americans who receive benefits from one or more social programs and ask, "How can we continue to support these millions of people?" Shouldn't the first question be "Why is our economy in such shambles that millions of Americans need help to survive?"
When I try to answer the latter question, I always end up staring at globalization and the real effects of giving corporations and Wall Street special treatment. Why does Apple rake in billions in profit from sales to Americans, but employ so few Americans? Same for Nike and all the major footwear giants. How often do you call a major corporation's customer service line and speak to someone in America?
Why do GE, ExxonMobil and many other corporations often pay zero — zero — in income taxes despite billions in profits? Why do investment managers get to treat most of their income as capital gains and pay a lower rate than police officers or firefighters?
With ever fewer jobs, lower wages for any new jobs and tax dodging by those who benefit from "offshoring," exactly what does this vocal minority think the people injured by these phenomena are supposed to do?
I hear no loud complaints about these things. Nor did I hear them back when financial institutions issued trillions of dollars in "credit default swaps" before the great 2008 meltdown. After all, in 2007, the 25 largest U.S. banks held $14 trillion in credit default swaps — the nation's gross domestic product was only $13.84 trillion.
But it's safer to criticize ordinary people scrambling to get by in our corporatized global world. And easier to memorize (and shout) a few slogans.

Periodically we get a hang on shut down of a Windows service in a production environment that we just cannot reproduce. It can be months before it happens again.
I'm putting in some diagnostics to try and help with the issue, one thing I'm looking at is adding an event to the system thread pool for 60 seconds after we initiate shut down of the application. Our application should shutdown cleanly within 10 seconds maximium.
In this event I would like to trace out the remaining running threads of the process to the event log.
I can get the running threads using System.Diagnostics.Process.GetCurrentProcess.Threads. These threads objects have native Win32 thread id's etc.
I was wondering if there was any way of getting back from these thread id's to any managed threads that they represent in the current process. The reason I am trying to do this is because for our thread pools and other threads we spawn we give the names which represent their purpose and it would really help to get these back.
Kind Regards

Small, compact, well made, Made in China. Light weight, made of plastic, it did weigh items accurately. Hopefully I'll get many years and many fish out of it. So far so good! Not any fish yet, trying hard tho! Best of Luck to All!Reviewed by: Uluacatcher808 from Honolulu,Hawaii on (2/9/2013)
OK, for only spending about $14 I didn't expect laboratory calibrated equipment, and I wasn't disappointed. I checked the accuracy against a 2 lb and then a 20 lb dumbell. About a half pound off and four pounds off respectively. But again, for my purpose - which is to weigh, with relative accuracy, the birth weight and weight gains in kid goats - the thing works as well as I need. I give it 5 stars for price and 3 stars for accuracy for a 4 star overall...Reviewed by: Richard H. from Texas on (11/14/2012)
Bought this scale to weigh my trail pack before hitting the mountains. After running a few calibrations it appears to report on the heavy side. Using a 10 Lb weight the scale displays ~11/12 Lb. Weighing a 45 lb buckets of weight registered 49 Lb. Sturdy construction. Inexpensive.Reviewed by: sheldon teerlink from ut on (3/18/2012)

On the other hand, when the politicians and grafting business men have, been forced to keep their slimy hands off, public work done on the day's wage basis has proved the cheapest method of doing such work and has also given the public full value for every dollar expended. We do not mean mistakes have not been made or will not be made in the future. That is Inevitable. But we invite a comparison with two or three notable instances in our own county. Take the Copper Hill road, built by County Engineer Roy Thomas, admittedly the best in Gila county and the cheapest of its kind in the state, being about a half-mile longer than the distance specified by Supervisors Rose, Devore and McDonald, and compare the surface, width, drainage, etc., with the section built by contract with red mud surfaces and no drainage. Take the San Carlos road as another example. One end built by contract: the other by the state under the day wage plan. And compare the work as to surface, bed, drainage, width, etc. The state made a ROAD; the contractors' work will have to be rebuilt in various parts. Various other work may be cited to sustain the above argument. Notably the Panama canal. Goethels - built it cheaper than the estimates. The contractors failed. But to get results of this nature it is necessary to pay a standard wage to get the men to do the work. Efficiency means training. A man who is paid a standard wage will stay with the job and produce results. But where a job on the public roads is merely a grubstake men will not stay with it. As tiie law provides that American citizens or wards of the natiou only are to be employed, American wages should be paid. Americans do not live as peons live. The city of Globe, the town of Miami, Cochise and Yavapai counties pay a minimum wage of $3.50 a day for labor. The wages in this dltsrict average high-• er than they are 1n either Cochise or Yavapai counties as does the cost of living. Bo we should have a |3.50 minimum. WHY AN ADVISORY BOARD ? We elect a board of supervisors subject to the recall. A county engineer to build our roads is subject The Miami baseball team received one of the worst beatings of the season at the hands of the visiting Globo club yesterday. Very ragged fielding by the home players was mainly responsible for Globe's victory, which was won by a 9 to 2 score. Kelly, the new pitcher from Hayden, worked the full game and while hit safely eleven times pitched a much better game than the score shows, and with decent support might have, won his game. But the Miami defense failed at critical times and wild heaves, muffs and boots allowed run after run to cross the plate. The team was further handicapped by the failure of Hearn anil Wild to arrive from Hayden in time to take part in the game. An accident to their car held them up on the road and they did not reach town until late yesterday afternoon and too late to be of any help in the contest. The visitors started in the third to make a batch of runs and the Miami players in their feeble way gave them all the assistance they could They bunched three errors and a wild pitch with Globe's three hits and three runs resulted. In the eighth, with two out, Kelly passed two men. Miller then drove one hard to center which FVlts was barely able to toucli with the tip of bis glove. The ball rolled under the fence and all three men scored, while Felts was squirming under the fence in a frantic endeavor to retrieve the ball. He finally wriggled himself so far under that he was unable to back out or advance and the assistance, of the other fielders was needed to rescue him. In the ninth the visitors scored two more on a hit, base on balls dnd the regulation error. Miami scored one in the fifth and again in the ninth.

The boat is equipped with twenty-six life preservers, but so interested were ail in getting started on the first trip that no one thought of the life preservers and in the first journey the passengers trusted in God, enjoyed a two hours' ride and returned happy. At first the boat was tried off the Miami club landing till all was found in sea going condition, and the boat then ran to the dam, stopped at the Lodge Inn, took on a few more guests and proceeded up the Tonto end of the lake, returning to the landing at 6:30. Captain and Mrs. Faught, owners of the "Duet," had as their guest on the first trip, Misses Bailie Herndon, Effie Stark and Bertha Stark, Messrs. Mike Murphy, Cliff Morse and E. A.

The tragedy was first discovered by Tom McKevitt, the son-in-iaw of the dead woman, who went to his home at about 8 o'clock for breakfast. Before going home Mr. McKivett attempted to telephone to his mother-in-law to ask if there was anything needed at the house, but as he failed to got an answer he hurried home, fearing that she was ill, and was confronted with the sight or his mother-in-law lying across the bed dead and her murderer gasping in the agony of death. That Mrs. Collins had been murdered but a short time before was evidenced by the fact that she had prepared iier own breakfast and was apparently about to partake of it when she was shot. Lamb was still alive and was removed to the county hospital, but he died at about 11 o'clock without regaining consciousness. Both the victims were shot through teh head, the gun used being a .32 calibre automatic. The cause of the tragedy was explained in a letter written by Lamb to Mrs. McKivett, in which lie stated that ills repeated offers of marriage had been refused by Mrs. Collins, and as he did not care to live without her he had decided to kill her and himself. In this letter he also gave the address of a sister in Dawson Springs, Ky., to whom lie wish 1 Ills personal effects to be sent. The dead woman, who was divorced from her husband a few' months ago, is survived by Leroy Mitchell, a son by a former marriage, and three daughters, Mrs. Toni McKivett and Mrs. Belle Scofield, both of Globe, and a married daugiiter in Michigan. Mrs. McKivett and Mrs. Schofield left a few days ago for a trip through California, with the expectation of spending about a month there. Lamb had been a resident of Globe for several months and was employed at the Old Dominion smelter. He was a man who appeared to be about 4 5 years of age, and had the reputation of being a steady worker. It was reported in Golbe today that lie had killed a man whom lie suspected of belug intimate with his former wife In Douglas and bad been sent to the penitentiary for the offense but later released on parole. The knowledge of this fact is said to have been given by Mrs. Collins as a reason for refusing to marry him. It Is only fair to state, however, that this story had not been verified by the authorities up to the time of going to press. ;

Regulating Environmental Hazards
People seek answers to seemingly simple questions: Is the water safe to drink? Is there a safe level of radiation? But usually there is not a simple answer to such questions. For example, what is the safe speed of a car? A car travelling at only 1 mile an hour can kill a person by, say, pinning him to a wall. So we have to say that no driving speed—except, perhaps, zero—is absolutely safe. But in practice we do not strive for absolutely safe auto travel; we are willing to sacrifice some degree of safety for such other benefits as faster travel. Therefore, we usually think of a "safe" speed in such "practical" terms as 30 miles an hour on a residential
street and 65 miles an hour on an interstate highway.
There seems to be a general reluctance to discuss "practical" safe levels for environmental hazards. The resulting debate about the regulation of environmental hazards is therefore unnecessarily acrimonious and inconsistent. Industrial chemicals that are toxic or suspected to be toxic garner more attention that toxic chemicals from natural sources; radiation from nuclear power plants garners more attention than radiation from natural sources. But a hazard is a hazard, regardless of its type. To the extent that the public demands regulation of environmental hazards, the regulation ought to be consistent with the regulation of other hazards and based on scientific evidence.
I begin with a new way of thinking about the exposure of populations to environmental hazards, then describe the relationship between exposure to such hazards and their effects on health. That leads me to an outline of alternative standards for limiting exposure to hazards. I conclude by suggesting a standard that could do much to make environmental regulation less controversial and more effective.

"Liebling. Wake up, Liebling." You heard Ludwig mutter and you groaned, your head feeling like it was split in two. "Are you okay?" He mumbled, stroking some hair from your forehead. Whimpering slightly, you felt him pull you up into his arms, cradling you against his chest. "I think I'll be okay." You rasped, needing to get to work.
You had an important presentation that day and you couldn't miss it. You felt terrible though. Ludwig grimaced, knowing about your predicament. "Give me a shout if you need me." He told you and after kissing your forehead he went to make breakfast for you both.
You swung your legs over the side of your bed, stumbling to your feet. You really didn't feel good, but being the good employee you were you dressed yourself.
The moment you walked down the stairs however you quickly realised you were getting hot. Way too hot.
Ludwig watched as you managed to get into your chair before you fell and bit his lip. "I can always call them." But you shook your head avidly. "N-no, I ne-need to go. It's important."
He sighed and set a plate of steaming food in front of you. "Lud, as wonderful as it looks, I don't think eating some like this is going to help me. I'm sorry." You said, glancing up at him. Without a word, he took your plate, leaving it on the side to cool.
"If you're feeling that bad then-" Placing a finger on his lips, you shook your head. He kissed your finger gently, holding your hand in his own.
"What do you want?" He asked, his blue eyes earnestly gazing into yours. "Just some fruit I think. I'll be fine after I take some medicine." Before you could get up however, he stood up and collected your much-needed items. "You know, I am here for a reason." He muttered, setting the things down on the table next to him.
"I want you to rely on me in situations like this." Smiling, you nodded thankfully at him. "Open up." He instructed, getting a spoonful of the medicine. "There we go." He grumbled as you swallowed, your nose wrinkling in distaste.
"Hey, if it's bitter it works."
"I know." You replied, taking off your shirt. Your legs were getting shivery and as you stood up to go to the back door, they shook violently. Ludwig walked with you, one of his arms around your waist. "I can do this much." You complained, secretly adoring his caring side.
The crisp morning wind blowing onto your skin, gave you goose bumps, but you weren't cold. On the contrary in fact, it felt good and the fresh air cleared your head. "Better?" You nodded weakly, closing your eyes.
"I just hope the medicine'll kick in soon." You said under your breath. When you didn't move from your spot in the open door, he started getting worried though. "Aren't you cold?" Shivers racked your body and as he took hold of your arm he noticed you were really hot.
"That's it. I'm not letting you go to work."
Despite your protests, he got you back into bed. "I'm telling you, I'll be fine!"
"And I'm telling you that when the person I love most is suffering, I can't stand by and do nothing! Now lie down!" Under his stern gaze, you slacked a sigh and relaxed.
"Fine but only this once." He chuckled at your remaining defiance, softly pressing a cold cloth to your neck and forehead.
Soothed by his actions, you felt your eyelids drop down, drifting off into sleep.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of you."

What would you have done if this driver didn't stop?
What would you have done if this driver didn't stop?
Cranks-on-Cam.com: Video blog of a sub/urban cyclist
In particular, I believe that much bad advice has come from racing or racing-oriented cyclists, who assume that the techniques that help win races must be the best approach for all cyclists. -Sheldon Brown
I would have slammed on the brakes, eventually collided with their fender, flung myself over the handlebars and landed with a massive impact on their hood/windshield. Then the momentum would have carried me off the other side, where the still-moving car would have rolled over my left arm, breaking it in 4 places. My last thoughts before blacking out would be "Man, I should have gotten this on video."
404 - Signature Not Found
Stopped pedaling, maybe brake some and let him cross in front of me. It looks like he was quite a bit in front of the rider, leaving plenty of time / space to avoid. Then maybe throw up a WTH arm signal depending on how I felt at the time. Maybe nothing at all.
Have Bike, Will Travel
404 - Signature Not Found
It looks like there would have been time to stop/slow down. I possibly would have turned to the left to pass behind him/her.
It's all theoretical though. They stopped. Would have been better had they seen the cyclist before starting the turn, but people F-Up which is why we can't assume they're always going to do what they're supposed to do.
I had a driver blow through an intersection in front of me this morning after a rolling stop. (I had no stop my way). She never even turned to look. I was able to slow down enough to avoid a collision because I approached cautiously after I saw her. She looked like trouble.
Sun at my back, shadowed areas, riding at a fairly decent speed, large driveways to my right...... I would have had a headlight on strobe mode, or at the very least, on the watch out for any car that dares to even touch the center line.
I would have slowed down and let him complete the turn, because not only would that have minimized the risk from him, but also from any car that was approaching from your rear that was blocked by his actions. That car approaching from the rear if he did not see you at speed would have probably opted for the lane you were in to avoid the car you filmed.
I had something similar happen but in a completely different type of road. It was a slow-moving, heavy-traffic, multi-lane thing. I had moved to the left lane to turn in a block. An oncoming car turned left directly in front of me. There was no way to stop in time (I was pushing about 20mph).
There was a break in traffic behind him, so I went left into the lane he was turning from, then moved back right.
I had quite the unpleasant adrenaline rush from that.
I'm not sure that would have worked in the scenario in the video.

I've had several much closer calls than what's shown in that video. In the video, it's not obvious that the driver didn't see the cyclist; he may have very well seen him and started making his turn anyway. The turn and stop looked slow and controlled. Not necessarily wise on the driver's part, and perhaps not even legal, but this didn't look like a crisis averted.
I have been hit on my bike and had a few other close calls, I've been in accidents in my car, I've been nearly run over a couple of times as a ped. They only difference was I didn't have a camera on my head to record them.
Sometimes I get pissed. Sometimes I just feel relieved that it wasn't worse. The one time I was hit I was completely uninjured except for the sore chest I got from stiff arming the SUV (Not sure I'd recommend that under most circumstances). The driver was mortified. What good would getting angry do at that point? I was OK, my bike was OK, his door had a tjspiel shaped dent in it.
These things happen and all you can do is learn how to limit the risks. You can't control what other people are going to do.
Last edited by tjspiel; 05-16-11 at 11:29 AM.
I would have kept going without even a look back.
But since we are talking about hypothetical's I would have braked and swerved towards the right and hoped not to be hit by either slowing down in time or going through the front door of the store.

What would I have done if someone stopped and waited until I had passed before making a left turn? I might have waved and said "thanks".
It did happen to me and a front blinky would not have helped. I came over a small little hill and a pickup driver was waiting for traffic to clear before making a left turn into a dirt driveway. It was clear the driver intended to wait for me to pass, but when a car came over the hill behind me, the dumb pickup driver decided he did not want to wait for the car as well and gunned it. I was at 25 mph and hit the brakes hard. He would have made it if he did not slow for the dirt driveway. I hit his rear quarter panel at about 3 mph and flipped over the truck bed. At about 300 degrees through the flip, the rear wheel hit the ground and then went sideways (damn, I almost completed a circus trick). Collision dented his quarter panel and broke the rear turn signal. My damages were bent top and down tubes, cosmetic damage to components; ripped jersey, shorts and gloves, sole of shoes pulled partly off (clipless).
The driver refused to go to the shop he was employed at and call the police. I had to ask the shop owner if I could call (before cell phones). The shop was a garden small engine repair business.
The driver insisted to me, the insurance co. and the police that the collision was my fault because I hit the back of his truck.
The driver was on welfare with my state taxes helping to pay his insurance and car cost for him to drive to a cash paying, off the books job (scum bag). The reason the driver argued it was my fault so hard was because the insurance company could drop the state underpaid insurance policy if the driver was at fault. Insurance companies here hate being forced to cover these money losing policies.
End result, driver lost his insurance (I bet he kept driving anyway).
Insurance company paid full replacement cost $1,800 on a 11 month old road bike that I got on special sale for $900. Another $300 for the special paint job that was no longer stock and would have to be custom painted on my new bike (black gloss with silver solder spun on - really cool looking). Another $260 for the damaged jersey, shorts, gloves and shoes. No visible damage to the helmet, but it had been in a collision, so $120 for the helmet.
I took all that money, added another $450 and bought a Litespeed Ultimate on sale. I was happy. The insurance company was even happy because they got to drop the welfare policy for so little money.

Looks like there was time to slow or stop. If the driver had been later and not stopped, then I guess I'd try to brake. There looks to be room to bail to the right and that might buy time for the driver to see the cyclist.
