U.S. NEWS: So just how bad is the energy situation getting? Renowned oil man T. Boone Pickens is investing $2 Billion in a Texas wind farm. In fact, the largest wind farm ever built.
Pickens will purchase the wind generators from General Electric, which makes GE happy campers. GE has been in the selling business of late, but not of products, of parts of their company. Word is out that GE is shopping its 101-year-old appliance business for as much as $8 billion and last year it sold its struggling plastics business to a Saudi Arabian company for $11.6 billion. Yep, Saudi Arabian.
So what makes an oil man like Pickens bet on wind? I'm going to guess that he is a little closer to the fact that we are running out of fossil fuels than the average Jill or Joe.
But let's take a closer look at the wind business to figure out why America isn't already running on free wind power. One reason of course is that Americans are spoiled and want the power to be on all of the time. That is a problem when the wind doesn't blow all of the time.
This creates a need for backup unless you can find customers who will agree to have power on the days that the wind blows and take eight hour coffee breaks on the days that it doesn't. Cold coffee that is, the coffee machine runs on electricity.
What I'm saying is that a conventional power plant with reserve capacity equal to the wind farm has to be standing by, just in case the wind doesn't cooperate that day or blows too hard. Sure, when the wind blows too hard they have to feather the blades and shut down the generators to keep them from being destroyed. Not to mention what a little tornado activity could do to a wind farm.
And then there is the cost of free wind. Jimmy Carter created massive subsidies to develop both wind and solar power, I know, I worked on a test site way back when. Once the subsidies were removed, there went the neighborhood and the wind and solar with it. Free wind and solar power was too expensive to compete without being subsidized.
But today, with all the advancements in technology combined with skyrocketing energy prices, things have changed; Jimmy Carter isn't president any longer.
However, wind and solar still require subsidies to work and that is what T. Boone Pickens is betting on. He said, "I believe that Congress will recognize that it is critical not only to this project, but to renewable energy in this country, that they enact a long-term extension of the Production Tax Credits."
Let's look at the numbers for this new wind farm in the Texas panhandle. The eventual cost will be between $10 and $12 Billion and it will cover 400,000 acres. The power produced is expected to power 1.3 million homes. Shall we apply a little Mikeronomics to that?
Doing a little math, that is .307 acre of wind farm per home powered. There are 112 million homes in the U.S., so if we chose to use wind to power all of those homes it would require 34,384,000 acres of land. That is considerably more area than the state of Indiana. If all of the new homes built in the U.S. were powered by wind, it would require an additional 400,000 acres…every year!
But more importantly, if you do the math, the investment in this part time power plant alone, neglecting transmission, profit, and operating overhead, is $13,000 per home. I say part time, because we must remember that someone has to own the backup power plant that isn't making any money when the wind is blowing.
Solar in some ways is even worse when it comes to the massive arrays and land necessary to place them on. And like wind, solar is not full time, science has not figured out how to keep it from getting dark at night.
I am certainly not against technology, just so long as we get the whole story. Like ethanol, we can burn our food supply, but not without repercussions.

Most people move house because their circumstances have become intolerable. Either their collection of antique brass spigots has grown too colossal for the spare room, or the neighbour's son has taken up the trombone, or there are spiders. It's usually one of these three things. But I have a compulsion to move for the opposite reason; it's been perfectly tolerable for 15 years now, and there's starting to be a danger that I'll still be here when all my teeth have fallen out and someone's coming around every week to see if I need any shopping doing. Just because my lease has 971 years left on it doesn't mean I'm obliged to see out the full term. So I'm going to live somewhere else.
Having made this decision for pretty frivolous reasons, I'm experiencing predictable spasms of doubt. A web of psychological bonds seems to tie me to this area, even thought I have no particular affection for it and only ever ended up here because I couldn't afford somewhere much nicer three miles up the road.
For example, I live within a few yards of a hospital, and it's become a comforting background presence. As I'm convinced I'll eventually meet my maker by choking to death, being within crawling distance of an A&E department where someone knows the Heimlich manoeuvre is something I subconsciously rely on. But try explaining that to an estate agent who's driving you to viewings in a branded Mini Cooper, and she'll look at you like you're an idiot.
There are other things I can't really put on my list of requirements for a new home, even though they've become part of my life. Sri Lankan takeaways need to be on hand in the event of culinary emergencies, of which there are many. There must be a drunk guy swearing at his ferocious dog every day outside Tile Magic; a man in a turban who'll mend my watch strap for four quid whenever it breaks – which is all the bloody time – and a fat bloke in a motorised wheelchair regularly zooming past the tube station at 1am carrying an acoustic guitar for no apparent reason. I'm fairly sure none of these things will appear in the estate agent's blurb; it'll say "676 sq ft property boasting a loo" or something. But weirdly, these are some of the things I'll miss the most.

The Beating Hearts of the Buddhas
The morning fog coming off the top of the jungle trees was not like anything I had seen before. There was just enough morning light to give everything a twilight blue and paint the mountains in the distance a deeper color.
I tried something a little bit different with this photo. I was holding two flashlights to help me climb the temple in the morning. I think I got there about 5:30 AM when it was still pitch black, so the flashlights helped me find the right footholds and whatnot. Anyway, this was an extremely long exposure, so I used some of that time to "paint" the inside of the bell cages with the beams of my flashlights. Each of those bell cages held a solitary outward-facing Buddha. I'm glad I was there alone, because I'm sure I looked like a loon running around shining the flashlights in patterns to illuminate the Buddhas inside.

No!!! Ahh, we're doomed
"No" The words hit me hard.
"No!!!!! Ahhh, we're doomed" I cry before fake faiting where Filla catches me.
"Just find some one else to love him" Thunder says shrugging.
"Some one else" I whisper.
"Oh, dear" Spark says messing with his hair nervously. In fact he hasn't helped at all.
"Some on else!!!!" I shout. "Why can't you find some one else???" Then I fold my arms and pout angrily.
"The pouting don't really work Olli, you just look cuter" He says tilting his head and smiling. The I raise my hand and he steps back hands up in a peace gesturing way.
"Wait" Filla shouts. "I see something"
I turn to see her eyes clouded over. "It's not Sav desision that saves it..... its Faiths"
Her eyes come back. "How could Faith save.... Ohhhhh" I say realising. "To the dorm"
Then I run off down the hall Spark and Filla following me.

Disclosure: I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Floor and Decor. I received a promotional item to thank me for participating
My husband builds and remodels homes for a living, so we always have a home improvement project going on at our house. We have recently discussed adding a backsplash to our kitchen on the wall behind our stove and I've been looking at options online ever since. This is an area that is currently painted and seems to catch a lot of food splatter from the stovetop so I want something that is easy to clean and also looks amazing.
While browsing, I have enjoyed looking at Floor & Decor's fantastic online selection. They have the best selection in tiles and low price flooring options for many budgets. You can also find great prices on Porcelain, ceramic, stone, tile, wood and laminate.
With outlet stores in many states and a wide variety of selection online, they have quickly become an awesome resource for us.
My kitchen is a green and I have light-colored wood cabinets and trim. I found this swatch for mosaic glass tiles that caught my eye. For years, the main two colors that I have used to decorate my kitchen with are green and red and I love the red accent in this.
We also have talked a lot recently about removing all of the carpet from our home and installing all hardwood flooring. I have bad allergies and we have indoor pets, which just makes carpet a huge pain! The wood flooring options at Floor & Decor are wonderful and the pricing is pretty great also! My favorite thing about the site is that they give you tips, or installation considerations, while you browse. Tips such as the fact that hardwood flooring should be stored in the room that you are going to place it in for up to 72 hours before, to prevent any warping due to humidity, is valuable information for a DIY'er.
For more information on Floor and Decor, be sure to check them out on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

The SummonMature
The quiet of the forest was broken by the heavy heedless footfalls of someone on the run. The snap of twigs, the curse that accompanied the loud thump of a fall, and the branches and bushes that had been pushed aside were all signs of one who was not familiar with the ways of the forest.
It is in an environment like this, that one who is familiar with his territory can catch an outsider, regardless of the length of his legs.
The man knew this, but he was panicked. His best chance of outrunning his pursuer was to stick to the easiest path that he could manage, but the fearful man is not a rational man. In an effort to throw off his hunter, he turned off the path and charged through the untamed wilderness of the forest.
He had sealed his own fate.
An arrow flew past his head to thunk into the tree trunk just ahead of him. The man cursed again and fear lent new reserves of energy to his fatigued legs. He began to veer left, but another whizzing arrow dissuaded him of this course and he charged ahead. He could see light ahead and with a final effort, he burst through the tangle of vines and tree limbs into a clearing.
He stopped gasping long enough to listen for sounds of his pursuer. He could hear nothing. With the smug grin of one who had cheated death he turned to continue on and jumped back in surprise.
Standing in front of him was the halfling.
All thoughts of success fled, and the man spun to run in the opposite direction. He made it two steps before a shape leapt from the shadows and tackled him to the ground.
The man froze. It was a lupynx, one of the most feared non-human beings in the land. On a scale, a lupynx would be ranked slightly below a dragon.
The halfling came to stand over the man, obviously enjoying the reversal as he looked down on him.
"Are you deaf?" asked the halfling.
The man shook his head.
"Are you able to read?"
"Then you have no excuse for being here in these woods."
"Pl-please... I... my family..."
"Your family. Would they perhaps be the gang of thieves that you came in with? The conversation that you held prior to entering these woods made no mention of a family."
"You... you heard?"
The halfling gave a small laugh. "You are in my woods human. I make it a point to hear and see everything that doesn't belong here."
"Wh-what are you going to do then?"
"Well you've already had two chances to save yourself. You wasted one when I told you to stop, you wasted another by running into my friend. You have one final chance. Let him up Pyne."
The animal, growling softly, took its paws off the man and allowed him to stand.
"You're letting me go?"
"If you can make it, yes. You will have thirty seconds to run before I release Pyne here. During that interval, I will be shooting at you with my eyes closed. You will have a five second head start. Go."
The man was up and running before Trest finished speaking. After his mental count reached five, Trest closed his eyes, pulled an arrow from the quiver on his back, drew, and fired.
He heard Pyne dash off to mark where the arrow landed. Eyes still closed, Trest shot once more. A moment later, a picture came into his head. An image from Pyne through their mental link, showing where his first arrow had landed. A few seconds more, and another scene of the forest faded in.
Trest fired once more as the count neared thirty, using the sounds he picked and smells that he picked up from Pyne. The man had tried to double back around. It was a wise idea, but it brought him closer to Trest's range. Eyes still closed, he drew one more shot and was rewarded with a cry of pain. He had hit the man, but not killed him.
Pyne returned to his side and waited, glancing up at him after a few seconds.
"Alright Pyne. Go."
And Trest's companion dashed off. Eleven seconds later, he heard screaming, and knew that Pyne had caught his quarry. Seeing through Pyne's eyes, Trest watched as the beast nipped and bit at the man. As usual, Pyne was only playing with this man, with the intention of letting him escape back to his friends.
Eventually Trest called Pyne back, and the two made their way back to their home. Speaking silently to each other.
"I dont believe we'll be seeing him or his friends again." Thought Trest.
The sensations sent from Pyne led Trest to believe that he was ultimately unconvinced.
"Maybe you're right." Trest answered. "Humans are pretty foolish. If we see them again, we will not be as forgiving."
Satisfaction and anticipation flooded the link. Pyne was ready to see them again.
It was a normal day or the two of them. Poachers and thieves showed up frequently, and it was Trest and Pyne's duty to keep them away. Soritton Forest belonged to the halflings by right, and every animal that was taken by an outsider made it more likely that a halfling family would miss part of a meal.
"What I find funny is that this man and his friends didn't seem to be here for food. They were searching for something, but not for any animal."
Pyne nudged Trest's hand and tilted his head as if curious. It was the very hand that bore the symbol-
"From the rune!" Thought Trest. Pyne's head dipped in a nod, then he went rigid, as if listening for something. In the next moment, he was gone. Trest followed after as best as he could, but was no match for the feline hound. Pyne's thoughts led him back to their house, where Pyne was pinning someone to the ground. Someone who was dresed too fine to be another huntsman.
"Oi! Get off me ya-"
"Pyne! Let him up!"
The other halfling was grumbling as he stood up and brushed himself off. When he was satisfied, he turned to Trest and handed him a letter.
"Mister uh... Mister Trest!"
"I'm here on official business. The council has summoned you."

You motherfuckers watch how I attack
If that's your girl better watch your back
'Cause she'll burn it up for me and that's a fact
Justin Timberlake "Sexy Back"
I felt something the first time I saw Eric Northman. We were in a meeting, in the large conference room. I can't remember what the meeting was about, but I can remember the way I felt when he walked in the door. It was like everything inside of me woke up suddenly from a deep sleep. Like my whole life, I had been waiting for that moment, and there it was.
Everyone in the office had been talking about his return. The girls were especially excited, and regaled me with stories of his beauty and commanding presence. I had scoffed, internally, of course. No man could be that attractive – that appealing. When he walked in the door to that meeting, I knew immediately that they were all wrong. He was much more than they had described.
Amelia had told about his great height, his broad shoulders, and his muscular body; a "swimmer's build" she had called it. But she made no mention of his golden skin, of the gracefulness of his stride, of the way everyone had to look up to him, not just because of his height, but because something in his presence demanded it. I had heard he was blonde, but had no idea that his hair was long and thick, that he wore it tamed back into a ponytail, and that it was the same natural honeyed shade as my own. Arlene talked about his deep voice, but she couldn't begin to describe the tenor, the vibration, the pure sensual experience it was to hear him speak and let his words wash over you. And his eyes – absolutely no one had mentioned those glacial blue eyes, their every look a caress that delved deep into your soul and seemed to know your every want and desire. No, they hadn't prepared me for meeting Eric Northman, despite all their gossiping in the few months since I had started working at Sophie Ann's.
The focus of my world seemed to shift when he walked through the door.
I was a fairly new employee, only there for about three months or so, and the lead buyer for the lingerie department. It was a coveted position, evidently, and some other employees were not happy that someone outside the company had been hired. I had lots of experience, though, through my previous work at a competing company. And they ushered me in with friendly, if not totally welcoming, arms.
Since my arrival, I had heard rumors about the great Eric Northman. Some people called him "The Viking." The men called him that because he had been very successful at attacking and acquiring new businesses and techniques. I think the women used the name because they had daydreams of being pillaged.
"The Viking" had been overseas for the past year, helping to open a secondary corporate office in Europe. According to rumor, he was offered the chance to run that entire operation, but declined because he wanted to stay close to the home office. Speculation had him in a torrid love affair with Sophie Ann herself, who was quite a bit older that he. I didn't hold much for speculation. I had seen firsthand the sparks flying between Sophie Ann and her assistant, Andre, and I had serious doubts that anything was going to come between those two. Eric's return after a year's absence was most certainly the talk of the office.
I had tried to brush off the talk. Could the guy really be that much of a stud? And besides, he was in mergers and acquisitions, and I was in lingerie. When were our paths going to cross? As long as he wasn't my boss, I wasn't going to worry about him.
And I had enough to worry about with my boss. Russell Edgington was gay, so I didn't have to worry about him hitting on me, but he was an artist and played the whole "artistic temperament" to the hilt. He was a prima donna who seemed to believe I was his personal assistant, available at his beck and call.
Lingerie was a fairly new department, and something that the executives at Sophie Ann's had great interest in seeing blossom. The Viking had acquired a popular French lingerie business while in Europe (in his spare time, surely), which gave Sophie Ann's the necessary momentum to launch their line under the French name.
And who wouldn't buy French lingerie? I mean, really.
But with all the corporate pressure and scrutiny, Russell's methods were being examined, and his stress was definitely trickling down to me. I was tired, I was strung out from working seventy hours per week, and I was stuck in a time-wasting meeting when I had my first encounter with the Viking.
I was trying to stay awake in the dim room during a PowerPoint presentation when I heard the door snick open. Portia continued droning on about profit margins while everyone else in the room started whispering. But it was one word that broke through my drowsy fog.
Intrigued, I looked toward the door just in time to see him sit at the end of the conference table. The low light wasn't enough to dim his magnetism, and I was caught immediately in his spell.
The rest of the meeting passed in a daze, with my only focus being the man at the other end of the table. It was difficult to maintain a façade of interest when I had to turn away from the presentation to catch glimpses of Eric. I must have flipped my hair twenty times, and I am not a hair-flipper. Thank God I had worn it down around my shoulders that day. I was grateful for the excuse.
When the meeting concluded, I took my time gathering my notebook and pen, lingering to watch him, to study the way he stood and greeted his colleagues, shaking hands and smiling. They orbited around him as if he were the sun. I couldn't blame them, as I was feeling his gravitational pull myself.
"Sookie!" Russell's voice made me snap to attention, and I quickly stood to face him.
"Evidently, we have some organizational changes in the works, of which someone neglected to inform me." He glared at me as if I held the key to the information. I was lower on the organizational chart than Russell – why on earth would I have heard about something if he hadn't? I managed to shrug my shoulders and look confused, and that appeased him somewhat.
"There are going to be some management changes, and they have something to do with Eric Northman over there." Russell nodded at the Viking, giving me an opportunity to look at him again. "I don't know what's going to happen to our department, but I'm not happy about it. Especially if the Viking is involved."
All I could do was nod. I wasn't sure what would happen to our department either, but I was confident in my own skills, and I wasn't that high on the totem pole, so I wasn't too worried. And if something happened to Russell…well, it might not be nice to think, but I wouldn't be so upset. The man was a pain in my ass.
"I'd better take you to meet him," Russell muttered under his breath, and then set out across the room. "Come on."
My heart jumped into my chest. Meet him? I'd like to jump him! But, since this was likely as close as I would ever get, I figured I'd better make the most of it. My heart pounded harder the closer we got. Russell and I waited as the throng around Eric started to thin, allowing me to stare a little longer. And then suddenly, his eyes caught mine. I think my heart stopped. I know I quit breathing. I felt like he saw my soul, his gaze was so intense.
"Russell," he called out, still looking at me. Russell rushed forward, pulling me with him.
"Eric," he said, in his tinny-sounding voice. Eric broke eye contact with me to look at Russell. "So good to see you."
I almost winced. Russell sounded so insincere; I wondered if Eric could hear it. When I saw the sudden coldness in his eyes, I could tell he had.
They talked for a moment, and the low sound of his voice sent shivers through me.
Finally, Eric made a motion toward me, and Russell took the hint.
"Oh, this is my assistant, Sookie Stackhouse."
"Actually, I'm a buyer," I managed to assert, even though I knew I would suffer retribution from Russell later. A smart person did not contradict him in public – especially to someone so powerful. But I couldn't allow Eric to know anything about me that would be false or incorrect. I had a feeling I would suffer worse at his hands than Russell's if I allowed even the tiniest falsehood.
Eric held out a large hand, and I felt my hand move automatically into his. A jolt shot through me, straight to the heat between my legs. I think I would have melted to the floor if it weren't for the intensity in his eyes, pinning me in place.
"A pleasure, Mrs. Stackhouse," he said smoothly, but my attention focused on the way his mouth shaped the word "pleasure."
"Miss," I said automatically. "It's Miss Stackhouse. But please, call me Sookie."
"Sookie," he smiled. We were still holding hands. I didn't want to let go. I don't know if Eric knew my reluctance, but he kept my hand in his and shifted to my right side. "Walk with me." He placed his left hand on the small of my back and guided me out the conference room door, Russell trailing behind us.
Out in the hallway, he let go of my hand, but kept his at the small of my back, leading me where he wanted me to go. "How long have you been a buyer for Sophie Ann's, Sookie?"
"Um…" I struggled to concentrate on walking in a straight path. My whole body yearned to lean into his. "Three months or so. I was previously a buyer for Macy's."
"Hmm, yes," he murmured. "I had heard that about you. Sounds like you have a wealth of experience to offer us."
I looked up at him - way up – I think my head was about level with his shoulder. To me, his comment sounded rife with innuendo, but as sex-charged as I was at the moment, I just couldn't trust my own perception. Shockingly, I managed to respond. "I'm ready, and willing, to do whatever is required."
Holy shit, did I just say that?
Eric's eyes seemed to burn brighter before he stopped walking and slowly slid his hand away from my back. "I look forward to working with you, Sookie." He flashed a mouth-watering smile and walked away.
Did I just flirt with the Viking? Did he just flirt back? I had never heard of him doing that – not in all the gossip floating around.
Russell broke me from my shocked reverie. "What the hell, Sookie. Are you fucking him?"
"What?" How inappropriate and, unfortunately, untrue.
Russell got in my face. "Listen, you little bitch. I'm not going to let you screw your way into my job."
"I don't want your job," I told him. It was true. "And I don't want Eric Northman." Totally false. Huge lie.
Russell scoffed. "Just stay out of my way, or I'll have you scraping shit off my Italian loafers."
"I thought I already did that," I muttered as he turned and stalked away. I was so over Russell and his tantrums. If the company had plans to replace him, I wasn't going to cry over it.
I trudged off to my cubical, fantasies of Eric Northman on my mind.
A/N - Thank you for reading! And if you've come here after reading my other story, Hot Blooded, then I thank you for another opportunity to entertain. I hope you enjoy!

With conventional techniques it cannot be done: too difficult production process, too heavy, too expensive, takes a lot of time.
Change method! Print stone using 3D printers!
Any shape
Any dimension
Low production costs
Increase the value of your products with our superficial characterizations.
We give the opportunity to realize everyone's great ideas using the possibilities provided by additive manufacturing. With the largest 3D printer in the world, creativity and imagination have no limits, both in form and size.
With 3D print, building complex shapes becomes simple. Empty areas, undercuts, curves, corners and cantilevered items; it is even possible to develop parts inside the object. No more difficulties in the process.
3D print combines smartness and flexibility: it is possible to produce several large objects simultaneously and quickly (10 cm per hour). Every part can be finished after 8 to 10 hours the printing process.
Additive manufacturing does not produce production waste: it allows to re-use the waste from previous manufacturing processes. Quality materials that are considered quarry waste turn into granular raw material for our production thus achieving economic savings and environmental benefits.
We offer you the possibility to go beyond the current limits. Complex forms, production costs, speed of execution, the pieces are no longer a problem for your creativity.
Innovation is not only the use of granulated rock as primary material, locally available, for the printer but as well the use of non-polluting natural binders.
Switching from a digital model to a real prototype is extremely simple, fast and affordable. This is one of the great advantages of additive manufacturing: it allows the production of objects in any size: from small to original size.
There is no need of mass production to achieve economies of scale or to lock-up working capital. With our 3D printing technology you can create single objects, small or large production series and, if required, differentiate the details of individual products at no extra cost.
We offer a highly professional 3D digital scanning service of small and big objects: art, cultural heritage, archaeological sites, etc. The final product turns out to be an indistinguishable reproduction from the original.
Find out what the largest additive stone printer can do for you.
Now we can apply industrial technology in the production of customized products, now craftsmanship and mass production have the same costs. Thanks to our technology you can touch, test and verify the product quickly.
When you conceive new projects, free your imagination from production constraints. Tests your ideas with a low cost prototype and develop innovative products for interior and exterior architecture.
Even if you are not a designer or an architect, our technology has been implemented in many sectors...and are steadily increasing!

The construction of a house of 2.4x4x3.5 meters using the D-Shape Technology, that has revolutionized the gap between design and buildings construction. This project, designed by architect Marco Ferreri, was exposed at the Milan Triennale. The "CasaTuttaDunPezzo" is the first house 3D printed in the world.
It is a project of the architect Janjaap Ruijssenaars (in collaboration with the mathematician and artist Rinus Roelofs), founder of the Dutch atelier Universe Architecture. The building, a construction of about a thousand square meters, will have the form of a Möbius strip. Its construction foresees the use of 6x9 meters pieces manufactured with the D-Shape 3D Printer technology.

A Third Decision
Alone. Betrayed.
The former feeling was inflicted by Jon when his shadow disappeared around a corner and the flurry of bullets seized. The latter feeling was ignited by Charles Greenwood, the man whom I had trust into this deception. The General ordered an extensive and exhaustive search for Jon and to severed all the transportation systems that lead out of the city. Everything happened slowly whilst I stood there motionless, Jon had made it clear to me, I had to take a decision now.
Gentle hands rested on my shoulder, at the touch I quickly shook off his hands away, pushing him away from me. "How could you?!" I shrieked, clenching my fist. For the second time, tears welled in my eyes but I blinked them away, frightful to show weakness in a situation like this.
Charles expression pained me, he was suffering from regret. "I am sorry Chloe," he said in a constricted voice, "I never wanted it to go this far, I... please understand, they've got James. He... he is tortured every day, they promised that he will be free once I hand over the cyborgs..."
My head pounced with rage and pain as I heard his voice, our own government was doing this to the scientists and engineers they praised so much in the past. Disgusting.
"Chloe, we require your help to fight against the android insurgence," the general spoke, "your capabilities surpass that of a human being, your technology is as advanced as those of the androids and yet..."
"I don't belong with either," I finished for him, casting him a look of contempt.
"That's not the issue here," General Arweth said in a rough tone, "you know what's at stake here, are you cooperating with us or we will charge you with treason just like we'll do with your friend."
Treason. Who were the traitors, those who perpetuate war and ensued destruction. My eyes shifted to Charles once again, his pitiful expression was sickening. But I owed him and James something, the meeting of a friend.
"If I go with you, will you release James from torture?" I asked.
"You have my word," Arweth said, there was a triumphant shine in his eyes "soldiers, we are heading back to our base." He then turned to me, "this way please, young lady."
I followed Arweth into an armoured car, but before going inside, I turned my head and could hear Charles stuttered something incomprehensible. I gave him a sly smile before the door closed and the car drove off toward the military base.
"Chloe, do you hear me?" a faint voice hummed in my head, at first I thought it was the engine of the car but the voice sounded familiar. It was the Captain from Arcadia, Captain Jardrein. I refrained myself from communication and send an image of what my eyes were seeing.
"I see you've been captured, where's Jon?"
I send him an image based on my memory from when Jon had jumped high in the sky and into a restricted freedom.
"Is he coming to Arcadia?"
My heart tightened as I heard his inquiry. I don't know. Lastly I sent him an image with audio of Charles begging me to help out in this war against the android for the sake and freedom of James.
"I understand," Captain Jardrein sighed heavily, "you have a noble heart Chloe. When you can, you should escape and join the rest of us, almost all the cyborgs I could contact are here with me. We are planning something to stop this war and your help is necessary as well. I will try to contact Jon, but the signals are being tightly monitored. For now, this will be all my friend. Hope you well and we'll be communicating soon."
Static rang in my ears as his signal became barely audible. The star stopped in front of the HQ, we descended from the car, once I stepped into the platform I was seized by burly soldiers who handcuffed me immediately.
"Let her go!" Arweth ordered, "she is a friend not an opponent."
The handcuffs were removed and I was directed toward a conference room. There was a single, enormous screen in the middle of the room with flashing images of the destruction and havoc the androids were creating.
"What's the plan, general?" I asked. To stop this war, we needed infiltration in at least one of the sides. I took my decision when my communication with the captain ended.
"The androids are concentrating their forces in attacking the major engineering companies of the world, focusing in robbing highly lethal arsenal that could destroy us in seconds. We've received intel that they plan on making a major move toward the laser and nuclear companies, we've formulated a cunning plan. We will surround the androids with heavy machinery and metal decapitator and drive them into the skeleton of the unfinished building Charles and James have been working on."
The building the general was talking about was a metallic mega-structure, or at least the skeleton of it. It reaches as high as fifty stories and is solely the framework with no walls nor floors to step on.
"Once there, we will bomb the building and those androids will perish before they decide to take over humanity."
I nodded and for a moment pitied the androids who in the past years had done nothing other than help humankind. My android part was taking the better of me.
"Rest now, the attack will be executed in three days from today," the general walked out of the room, leaving me to watch the videos, to ensure morbidity most definitely.
Just then the door opened and a body stumbled into the room and fell on the floor. I turned around and saw a familiar boy standing up, he gave me a sheepish smile.
It was Yuuki.

selfish yearnings.Mature
I want to love without hurting anybody.
I want to always say and do the right things.
I want to be perfect.
I want to cry whenever I want to.
I want to be able to completely change my emotions without a fight.
I just want to go home.
I want to go home so badly.
I want to never have existed.
I want to disappear and cause no pain to those I love.
This pain is too much.
The heartache is agonizing.
I want to let it all go, and release the internal madness inside.
I want to be able to speak my mind without this feeling of brokeness.
I want to know I am of some worth.
I want to believe I am loved.
I want to cry and have no guilt.
I want to know what to do.
I want to simplicity.
I want to hurt myself and not tell anybody.
I want to sing and dance with the innocence I used to have.
I want to be emotionless.
Oh, when will these selfish yearnings inside me end?

Make sure the steering is not "locked" try inserting and turning the key and turning the steering wheel at the same time. Ignition lock is about $120 labor to replace is about .9 hour.

We DO keep our reservation calendar up-to-date, so please click on it to see if your dates are available. You can check OUT on dates that are shaded, but not in.
The condo you are inquiring about is the same one seen in these current photos! We (the owners) will respond promptly (usually within a few hours) to your inquiry about this property.
We are a family who does our very best to make sure our guests are happy during their stay. If there is a problem, we try to fix it as soon as possible and are available by cell phone any time. This is our personal vacation home, not just an investment property. We take care of it as we would our full-time home, and we hope those who visit treat it the same. We recently had the unit "deep cleaned" and we replace pillows, rugs, etc., regularly. We strive to provide you an excellent stay at an affordable price!
We live in Macon, GA and use this condo as our personal vacation home. We love to visit as often as we can, and we rent it out when we can't be there to enjoy it ourselves. Our boys have grown up splashing in the waves of Jacksonville Beach, and we all have a (different) favorite restaurant and activity in the area.
Aimee Lashley purchased this condo in 2007
We love the Jacksonville Beach area. It is close enough to a large city to have activities, shopping, and sporting events to enjoy, but still maintains a very 'local' feel that isn't tourist-y or over done. We wanted a home away from home with an ocean view so that we could come to relax with our family and friends. We decided on this condo because of the pool, the excellent location, and easy access to the beach.
One of our greatest joys is being able to help families in need of a peaceful respite as a loved one seeks care at nearby Mayo Clinic or Shands Hospitals.
We love to be able to open the balcony sliding door and hear the ocean waves crashing. Just looking out of the window at the beautiful water seems to bring us a sense of peace and enjoyment, even on the rare rainy days we can't get out to enjoy the beach itself. We have enjoyed updating the place over the past few years, adding our own personality to the kitchen re-model and recent redecoration of the living room. Each piece of art and furnishing was selected by us to represent a calm, beachy feel where comfort and charm are at the top of the priority list.
Looking forward to visiting again soon!
We stayed here 3 nights for our son's graduation from UNF and the condo was great. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, and steps from the beach. Awesome time!!
The property was very nice. Location was great, and right next to the beach. Aimee was easy to get in contact with. She was accommodating, and friendly whenever I had questions.
first off i want to say it was a GREAT location, beach was right there. the unit has very nice/clean bedrooms and beds were very clean and comfortable. plenty of towels in bathrooms (need more kitchen towels, need to level the refrigerator out) very nice washer/dryer kitchen nicely redone. if you have young children they have pack and play booster seat wagon and sand toys provided. i agree with some of the other reviews it could use a DEEP CLEANING! Our main complaint was that the throw rugs were disgusting and the area braided rug in the livingroom was also. Honestly there were spots that looked like an animal had pooed on it and it was smeared. the rug in the kitchen you cold tell had food had been dropped or spilled on it several times over. it wouldn't hurt to either clean them after every booking or replace them or just don't have any. our socks the first night were so dirty that we rolled all the rugs up and put them back out the day we left. the rug in the master bath was filthy so it too got put in a closet. i realize a hurricane was a few weeks ago but the grounds need some care. in the pool area the some of the chairs are broken there was trash laying around etc.... the other issue was the tv in the master bedroom only gets 1 station.
The condo was a nice size for two couples, with plenty of room, comfortable beds, nice TVs, and a full kitchen. The pool and outdoor area, as well as the beach, were all great! We were in Jacksonville to see a Ravens vs. Jags game and it was within walking distance of Sneakers Sports Bar and a couple nice restaurants. The owner (Aimee) was very nice to work with - our flight was leaving late on Tuesday and she delayed the cleaning crew so we could have a late check out - very much appreciated! Would rent again.
Very nice condo right on the beach! It was spacious with two nice sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We had a great experience and would definitely book this condo again if we ever returned to Jacksonville Beach.

New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - September 7, 1982, New Braunfels, Texas Ballas, i'exae #75?.. le* > Iac • Comp, 'itch double J ox ^5 1^3 6 'Arab leaders mulling Reagan peace proposal FEZ, Morocco (AP) — Arab leaders began secret talks today on President Reagan's Middle East initiative and other possible peace plans after giving PLO chairman Yasser Arafat a hero's welcome that included a 21-gun salute. leaders from 15 of the 22 Arab league countries were discussing a joint peace strategy for the first time since the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. The first item on their agenda was the June 6 Israeli invasion of Lebanon that forced the dispersal of Palestine Liberation Organization guerrillas from their west Beirut stronghold. The talks reportedly will continue with a discussion of separate peace plans by Saudi King Fahd and Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba. But Moroccan officialsIsaid those talks will be overshadowed by Reagan's peace proposal. The Bahrain-based Gulf News Agency said most of the leaders at the three-day summit are tentatively backing Reagan's plan, which has been rejected by Israel. Delegation sources said it was particularly significant that Fahd and Syrian President Hafez Assad arrived Monday at the conference site, an ornate 12th century palace, in the same automobile. Assad led a boycott of a scheduled Arab League summit last November, forcing cancellation of the meeting. The Syrian leader was protesting Fahd's peace plan. Assad has made no public comment on Fahd's plan, but Syrian sources said his presence here showed he now was prepared to discuss it. Fahd's proposal implicitly calls for Arab recognition of Israel in return for total evacuation of Israeli-occupied territories. The Bourguiba plan — first proposed in 1965 — calls for Arab acceptance of a 35-year-old United Nations scheme to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab enclaves. Reagan's plan calls for election of an autonomous "domestic authority" to govern the occupied West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip in assocation with Jordan. Reagan also called on Israel to immediately cease the establishment of new Jewish settlements in Arab territory. Israel has rejected all three plans. In apparent defiance of Reagan, the Israeli authorities last week announced plans for new Jewish settlements. Bassan welcomed Arafat and the chiefs of state in a four-minute speech that mentioned none of the issues before the summit. Five Arab countries were represented by ministers and only Libya boycotted the summit. Egypt was excluded from the Arab League after signing a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. /AV New Braunfels New Braunfels, Texas Vol. 91 -No. 175 Labor Day visitors escape major injuries By DEBBIE TURNER Staff writer Comal County was lucky this Labor Day weekend. Despite the issuance of 22 driving while intoxicated tickets by the Department of Public Safety through Monday morning, not one motorist died in a traffic accident within its perimeter. And river visitors headed home with only a few minor bumps and bruises. In Texas, at least 41 persons died in highway accidents over the holiday weekend; however, state officials were still tallying numbers as of this morning, so the final total is expected to be more. Luck carried through to water recreation, t o. With the exception of a minor water-related accident here and there, the weekend on the Guadalupe and Comal Rivers was "quiet." Emergency Management Coordinator Herb Syring said his rescue squads on the Guadalupe reported cuts and bruises, but no major accidents. Gail Mullane, 29, of Dallas, was treated and released Sunday night at McKenna Memorial Hospital, after she was run over by a raft while tubing near Gruene River Co. With the exception of a report that a boater may have been deliberately bumping other boats at Potters Creek Park, the Canyon I .ake end of the Labor Day weekend was fairly "trouble-free," said Reservoir Manager Philip Parsley. "No one drowned, and no one was seriously injured. And that's always good news." The Labor Day crowd of 100,000, which really flooded the area lake parks on Sunday, was "well-behaved," Parsley added. That figure tops last year's Labor Day weekend visitor total of 75,000. A spokesman for White Water Sports said, "We had a good weekend, but it was not the volume of a holiday weekend. However, the business we had was nowhere near like last year or the year before that." Sunday was at least three times as busy as Saturday, a spokeswoman for Texas Canoe Trails said "We had a wonderful crowd, better than the whole summer Bj that, I mean, there wasn't trouble or as much trash to pick up after they all left. And that's unusual for a holiday crowd." An aggravated robbery Saturday dominated police activity over the I^ibor Day weekend. The Circle K Food Store at 1289 W. San Antonio was robbed at approximately 2:30 a.m. by a suspect yielding an army knife. At least $250 in U.S. currency was taken from the store. However, no other details on the case were available as of presstime today. Vicki Perry of Houston was a theft victim between 11:20 and 11:30 p.m. Saturday on the patio of Oma's Sausage House. Her leather purse, containing $60 in cash, six credit cards and keys was stolen. Also, a plastic ziplock bag with contents valued at $1,000-$1,500 was taken. Some of its contents included a 14-karat gold skull and cross bones ring with four diamonds, a 1932 man's class ring, a pair of white gold diamond earrings, a necklace with five diamonds, a five-inch gold chain, and two baby's teeth.

AIM is regarded as a respected media watchdog, and continues to expose error, distortion and bias in the news. Legislature gets down to business on depleted fund AUSTIN (AP) — State legislators met today in a quickly called special session to find a temporary, or permanent, cure for the unemployment fund that has been depleted by recent layoffs during Texas' hard times. Committee hearings to consider various legislative proposals were called shortly after the IO a.m. opening. In a pre-session caucus, the senate elected Sen. John Wilson, D-ILaGrange, as its assistant presiding officer for the special session. Wilson, 43, is finishing his first Senate term after serving eight years in the House. Gov. Bill Clements, who called the session solely to take care of the diminishing jobless benefits fund, said he would have no address or message foible 181 legislators. 'Clements said earlier he hoped the .session would be over in two or three days. Others, mostly Democrats who would like to embarrass the Republican governor with a hot controversy just before election, want a permanent solution that would not pass the problem on to the 1983 legislature. Still others would like Clements to open the session to other subjects. Rep. Ralph Wallace, a Houston Democrat, said he and about 50 other lawmakers want the session expanded to include utility rate relief. He said legislation has been introduced to prohibit Houston Lighting & Power from charging its customers for a $362 million investment on the canceled Allens Creek nuclear project. Wallace's legislation will get no action unless Clements expands the session. State Education Commissioner Raymon Bynum has asked Clements to let legislators amend a law that prevents school districts from borrowing money until their property tax rolls are certified and tax rates set. Bynum said numerous school districts, including Houston and Fort Worth, may run out of money because the new property reappraisal program has delayed preparation of tax rolls. The special session will be the third since the legislature adjourned its 140-day regular .session June I, 1981. Clements called the special session because Texas Employment Commission officials said the fund that pays jobless benefits could run dry by November. The fund has been drained at a record rate by layoffs resulting from the recession. If the present law is not changed before Oct. I, the minimum $6 per employee state tax paid by most Texas businesses will automatically jump to at least $174 in 1983. The House Employment Practices Committee conducted public hearings the past week, but made no recommendations since it will handle tile same bill after today's opening. Two bills out of about half a dozen offered seemed to attract the com mittee's attention one a "committee substitute" or compromise pushed by Speaker Bill Clayton and a bill by Rep. Lloyd Criss, D-l^Marque. Criss has been an outspoken critic of Clements' handling of the employment tax situation. Clayton's bill, which was endorsed by the powerful Texas Association of Business, would appropriate $45 million in state funds to pay the interest on loans from the federal fund until a new tax increase could become effective, next April I. The loan then would be paid back by increasing the $6 minimum to $24 a worker in 1983. The Texas Legislative Budget Board estimated that, under Clayton's bill, it would take about $370 million in federal loans before the new tax increase would be effective. Criss' bill, which was opposed by TAB, would levy before Oct. I a special surcharge equal to 150 percent of the 1982 payments made by employers. He estimated it would raise $390 million, increasing the present $6 per employee to $9. That would be enough until a tax increase, similar to that in Clayton's bill could become effective, he said. "lf the economy improves in 1983," Criss said, "we would get by with one quick surtax." Texas AFL-CIO President Harry Hubbard joined the controversy in a Labor Day speech when he urged legislators to act quickly by raising taxes paid by employers.Forecast Comal County skies w ill be partly cloudy today and Wednesday, with a 20 percent chance of thundershowers in the afternoon and evening.

Notes from India: Digital music across the world
Posted by Sonal Gandhi on December 16, 2009
We have just published a report examining the digital music adoption patterns of the different regions around the globe. While there are pockets of sunshine, the overall picture indicates that making money from digital music is tough everywhere. Europeans for instance are quite savvy in both online and mobile music activities but have yet to start buying digital downloads in meaningful numbers. In the
I also happened to be in
- "Paid downloads, what is that?" - I received the most baffled looks when I asked the teenagers I came across which websites they use for paying for digital downloads. "Do you mean CDs?" one said. When I explained that I meant MP3s the answer I received was "Why would you pay for MP3s, they are available for free." When I insisted that it was illegal to do that they just shook their heads. In fact, most people I talked to didn't associate downloading music for free online with piracy. The music industry will have an uphill battle in the developing world, trying to convince consumers that file sharing is wrong.
- Mobile music adoption is high, courtesy of Bluetooth – In a country where only 6 percent of people are online, 52 percent listen to music on their phones. How do these people get music on their phones? The answer is Bluetooth. People also get their phones topped up with music at places where they buy pre-paid minutes--and it's mostly for free.
- Radio and mobile are best friends– FM radio is quite vibrant. There is tough competition between stations for audience and differentiation based on formats is hard to achieve (Its all Bollywood, all the time). Thus, stations rely heavily on personalities and contests for ratings. At the time of my visit, a prominent radio station was, in fact, running a contest about radio personalities. They were asking listeners to text in to save the job of their favorite jock (one of the two hosts of a show had to be laid off, according to the station manager, due to recession). All contests, including this one, run on mobile based participation since online penetration is so low. Songs on the radio are also preceded by a message about the short code that can be texted to receive the song as a ring tone.
While my experience in

This American has had some ongoing chats about music and movies with younger people in India, Iran and Pakistan.The Indian kid has a pocket-money budget of USD $20 per month to cover EVERYTHING. His voracious music consumption, which ranges through pop hits, old rock classics and opera, can only be fed through piracy. If he went legit, he'd have to stop being a music fan.The Pakistanis are not much better off. The Iranians, besides being poor, use file sharing to get around local censorship, as Western music and movies are unavailable to them through legitimate sellers.To keep hammering at one of my themes: the music industry needs to convince these young people that they will be better off if they listen to little or no music.

"I start at Hinds on Monday," he said. "I've been running routes and focusing, focusing, focusing - it's a business trip for me at Hinds. I want to eventually get the offers from four-year schools that didn't recruit me because of academics.
"I've been working out like a maniac. I'm coming in full shape, because otherwise I won't perform as well as I want. I want to go D-1 when I leave Hinds. I know Hinds has two good receivers: one (Quantavious Leslie) is committed to LSU, and the other (Quadarias Mireles) is committed to Ole Miss. They throw the ball a lot. The receivers get the opportunity to get the ball in space."
Sams hopes an offer from a Southeastern Conference program lies in his future.
"I want to play in the SEC," he said. "I don't have a preference (for any particular school). I'm going to Hinds motivated and determined. I plan on shocking a lot of people with my talent. I want to show people what I'm made of."
Yesterday, Sams took a look back at his first week in junior college.
"It's going pretty good," he said. "I have two summer classes. The first class starts at 7:30 A.M. each day, and I have 6:00 A.M. workouts. I basically don't have any free time and - even if I did - I'm drained at the end of each day.
"There's a lot of players here who are going D-1. There's more running than I've ever done. The biggest thing is to be mentally prepared. The coaches don't care who played last year. The depth chart is up for grabs."
Sams teamed up at St. Paul's as a senior with four-star DT Mickey Johnson (now at LSU). The Wolves are a Class 5A program located in Covington, Louisiana (north of New Orleans).

False Dichotomies: "Homeschooled Girls vs. Feminists"
by Samantha Fields cross posted from her blog Defeating the Dragons So, Robert Knight, an extremely conservative writer for Townhall and whose articles occasionally appear in publications like the Washington Times, wrote an article last Tuesday called "Homeschooled Girls vs. Feminists."

When I Rejected Dominionism
by Lana Hope cross posted from her blog Wide Open Ground and Homeschoolers AnonymousBy now most people have probably heard of the dominionism in homeschooling and conservative evangelical circles — the idea that homeschoolers will change the world by their involvement in absolutely everything, from science to the high arts to politics. Oddly even after I rejected patriarchalism (and courtship and purity), I still saw myself as a huge warrior and heroine. I'll tell you what changed that for me. But first thought I'll give you a couple quotes of this in homeschool circles. … [Read more...]

My Journey
by Mr. CaluluThe journey started out innocently enough when a friend invited our family to attend his church in 1995. I had met him working at a part time job a few years earlier and just liked the guy. We had a number of other things in common, his kids were about the same age as ours, so I figured why not?? Our family didn't have much of a connection to the local Presbyterian church we had been attending anyway.In many ways it was a typical country church; a bit conservative for my taste, but not so much so to be ruled out. I found it to be an interesting mixture of college educated and technical types, along with some high school dropouts :-). But what struck me as a pleasant … [Read more...]

Ranked from 18 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.
Simple, well made game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)
Really nice gameboy style graphics and audio, nice stuff. Damned hard though, it took several tries before I could work out the jump distance for those spikes!
Cool game, new types of barriers and tricks needed. Looking forward to see complete game! 5/5
the skull has a lot of character! Wish it weren't so punishing, I can't play for more than 10 seconds - but then I'm clumsy. Very nice for a 'beginner', keep doing great things!
Hi guys! Thank you all for the feedback, it motivates me to continue studying. At the moment I am learning to add score and sound in the game and plan to release a more complete version soon.
nice animation. :)
Very promising. Hope to see more.
Like the board-flip-animation a lot
I hope it'll be finished! Nice artwork, really like the animation. Add more moves, maybe adjustable jump height, more obstacle and some scoring system and of course sounds and music. Can be a really fun game!
I really like the artwork! Great start to a fun lil' infinite runner game, keep at it!
Neat little "demo" or "engine" or whatever you could call it. Not much to do of course, but what is in there at least looks great!
A good start; nice pixel art. The game obviously needs work, as you know; as far as I can tell it's not possible to jump over two sets of spikes next to one another. You'll also not want to make the "restart the game" keypress also count as a "jump" keypress. But this could grow to be something good with more work!
Love the style of this, nice animations and character, :
Looks pretty nice! Keep up the effort! Would wake a nice endless runner if there were more to do ^^
Love the spritework!
I really like the art and animation! Hope you finish this game!
Hi @Shortee! I am a beginner and unfortunately could not complete the game on the jam's time, but I learned a lot trying to build it and I intend to finish it and then release a post-jam version. I still need to learn how to add score and game over.
Is there a game yet? All I can do is jump in the menu :/

Gone are the days when owning a car was a matter of pride and exclusivity for a privileged few. These days, having a car is more of a necessity to ensure smooth running of personal and professional life. But with ownership of a car, also comes the responsibility of getting it insured.
In the current scenario, with an escalation in the number of vehicles and accidents, netting a reliable insurance cover is not just mandatory, but also an undeniable need. Motor insurance of your car is the assurance of its full financial protection and is mandatory under the Motor Vehicle Act 1988. The vehicle owner pays a fixed amount or a premium to the insurance company in the form of a policy for a stipulated time period, usually one year. In the event of a mishap, the insurance company gauges the damage and depending on the assessed value of the vehicle, pays compensation to the client. Many insurance companies also offer an additional personal accident insurance cover along with this policy.
But when a mishap like a theft or an accident occurs what should you do? It is a good idea to inform the insurance agency immediately about your loss rather than wait for your insurance agent to run around for you. Most companies these days have 24x7 customer helplines for such emergencies.
You should have your car insurance policy number, your car's license number, make and model of your car and your contact numbers.
Here is a checklist of other important things:
Why your car insurance claim may be rejected
· An invalid driving license
· Drunken driving
· Not filling up insurance documents or facts like age, make of the vehicle properly
· Reporting to the insurance company after getting damages in your car repaired on your own
· Adding a CNG/LPG kit means additional premium. Not informing your insurance company about this will lead to rejection of claim.
· Not installing an alarm in case of car theft
· If you've bought a second hand car and haven't transferred it in your name in the policy copy.
· Not filing a claim within 48-72 hours of a mishap occurring.
· Damages from electrical or mechanical breakdown
· Booking a car as a private vehicle and using it for commercial purposes
· Consequential loss like entering a flooded area yet keeping the car in ignition which may result in engine breakdown
Top things to do while filing a claim for car theft
· Immediately inform your insurance company
· File an FIR
· Fill the claim form, giving information like the policy number, vehicle details, the date, time and description of the incident
· Submit the duly signed claim form, copies of the registration certificate (RC) of the vehicle, driving license, policy document (first two pages), the FIR and a letter addressed to the RTO intimating theft
· Following the submission of 'non-traceable report' by the police and the claim is approved; the policy holder must transfer the RC of the stolen vehicle in favour of the insurance company.
Top things to do while filing a claim for car accident
· Inform the insurance company and the police
· Take details like number plate, make and model of the other car
· Record all details of the accident scene and take pictures on your mobile, if possible
· Documents that you are required to submit include a copy of the driving license, RC, FIR, original estimate and original repair invoice and payment receipt.
While buying an insurance policy for your car, take into consideration various types of policies which are available on online portals and compare them. Pay special attention to the features of the policy, additional riders and the cost. Thereafter, draw up a list of advantages and disadvantages and choose the policy that gives you maximum support in terms of the best and most comprehensive accidental coverage at the lowest premium rates. You can, subsequently, fill up the form and make an online payment. On realization of your payment, the policy will be confirmed within a matter of few minutes. All this can be done at your convenience from anywhere.
