Alaska Oil Reserves May Have Grown 80% on Giant Discovery
Here is the opening of this interesting article by Robert Tuttle for Bloomberg:
David Fuller's view -
Alaska's oil reserves may have just gotten 80 percent bigger after Dallas-based Caelus Energy LLC announced the discovery of 6 billion barrels under Arctic waters.
The light-oil reserves were found in the company's Smith Bay leases between Prudhoe Bay and Barrow along the Arctic shore, according to a statement from Caelus on Tuesday. As much as 40 percent of the find, or 2.4 billion barrels, is estimated as recoverable, the company said. That compares with the state's proved reserves of 2.86 billion barrels in 2014, almost 8 percent of the U.S. total, Energy Department data show.
"It's a really exciting discovery for us, and we think it's really exciting for the state of Alaska," Caelus Chief Executive Officer Jim Musselman said in a phone interview. "They need a shot in the arm now."
Alaska's oil output has been gradually declining, to 483,000 barrels a day last year from a peak of more than 2 million barrels a day in 1988, Energy Department data show. The last major field brought online was Alpine in 2000, which averaged 62,000 barrels a day in September, Alaska Department of Revenue data show.
Musselman, the man who engineered the $3.2 billion sale of Triton Energy Ltd. to Hess Corp. in 2001, founded Caelus in 2011 to explore and develop petroleum resources on the North Slope. In 2014, the company formed a partnership with affiliates of Apollo Global Management LLC to invest in oil and gas properties in Alaska.
The development will cost between $8 billion and $10 billion over the life of the project, which could be brought into operation by the fall of 2022, Musselman said. Located about 125 miles from any other facilities, the company will need to build pipelines and roads. An oil price of about $65 a barrel and greater certainty on state tax policy and incentives is needed to develop the field, he said.
"A lot of the investment decision is going to revolve around what happens within the state from a regulatory standpoint," he said.
Caelus said its newly discovered field could produce as much as 200,000 barrels a day.
Light crude oil is highly desirable, being more valuable than the many heavy crudes available because it produces more gasoline and diesel when refined. Assuming further drilling confirms the size of this discovery, it is an important development for the economies of both Alaska and the USA generally, although Caelus' oil cannot be developed quickly. Nevertheless, it also has two important messages for the global crude oil market.

Sheriff Sadie Darnell says she won't be taking part. She filed a protective order to get out of the deposition scheduled for Wednesday.
She says she shouldn't be involved because she was not Sheriff at the time of the alleged incidents.
"I'm not connected to this case at all. I have not even read it. It's not something I'm attached to," said Darnell.
But Robert Rush, the plaintiffs' attorney, says Darnell has every reason to be involved.
"She's the current elected Sheriff and this is a lawsuit against the Sheriff's Office in their official capacity," said Rush.
Rush is filing a response to Darnell's protective order asking the court to grant him the right to speak with Darnell.
The person who was sheriff at the time, now-Senator Steve Oelrich, and Former Jail Director Robert Chapman are set to give depositions as well.
The trial is set for January 7th of next year.

Best Western Hotel Construction in Haiti. PHOTO/File
Glimmers of hope are coming to this devastated capital and its surrounding cities, as the concrete Royal Oasis hotel rises over a metropolitan area still filled with displaced-persons camps housing hundreds of thousands. Signs of Haiti's comeback can also be seen in the 105-room Best Western hotel being built within blocks of shanty-covered hillsides.
At least seven hotels are under construction or are in the planning stage in Port-au-Prince and its surrounding areas, raising hopes that thousands of investors will soon fill their air-conditioned rooms looking to build factories and tourist infrastructure that will help Haiti bounce back from a 2010 earthquake that officials say claimed 300,000 lives. Some damaged hotels are undergoing renovations.
Together, the projects add up to well over US$100 million in new investment and will generate several thousand jobs in a nation still struggling to emerge from years of natural disasters and political turmoil.
In fact, the new hotels are the first significant private-sector construction in Port-au-Prince in the two years since the quake.
"Cautious optimism and deep skepticism" is how economist Claude Beauboeuf describes Haiti's hotel boom. For people to fill the hotels, he said, it's important that President Michel Martelly address the problems facing his government, which include an illegal force of armed men openly roaming the country, a string of mysterious police killings and strife with the opposition-controlled Parliament. He also needs a prime minister to replace the outgoing one who resigned after clashing with the president over priorities.
"If he doesn't address these things, investors will withdraw," Beauboeuf said, citing Club Med and the Holiday Inn as earlier examples of franchises that left Haiti because of political instability.
The planned hotels in the capital are not aimed at tourists, who avoid gritty Port-au-Prince. Instead, developers are targeting the contractors, foreign aid workers and diplomats for whom finding a room can be a challenge. The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, led by the previous two U.S. presidents, identified new business-class hotels as key to attracting foreign investors looking for opportunities in Haiti. Similarly, President Martelly has said he wants to make Haiti less dependent on foreign aid and friendlier to outside investments.

I suggest we start with a few bright colors like red for cherry flavored KoolAid, yellow for Lemon and orange for Orange and a few felted beads of medium size. To read more about the process of creating felted wool acorns please refer to my post on How to make felted wool acorns.
I first made colored water. To make it I added powder from KoolAid packs to the water in a few small plastic containers. As a result I've got five containers with brightly colored water. I added approximately a tea spoon of powder to each of the containers. Then I put each of my five beads into a separate container and let the beads suck in the colored water.
One can vary the quantity of powder dispensed in the water to make the solution more or less saturated. As a result beads can turn out of either pale and pastel hues or bright and vivid colors. It makes sense to heat containers with solution and beads in a microwave up to the boiling point for color to fully penetrate the beads. However be careful as beads will be super hot! I usually cool them off in cold water afterwards.
The result is pretty impressive. All of my five beads turned out to be colored differently. The most intensive, bright and beautiful color turned out to be orange. Yellow bead was not that intensely colored but I really like the light lemon color of the bead. They smell of oranges, lemons and cherries! Yummy!
All those brightly colored beads could be turned into acorns or into an acorn wind chime.
This post describes my personal experience with a particular product.
Please be careful trying to replicate the experiment!!!

In 2007 when Christoph and me started dating, I was a Giants fan by association. He having grown up in San Francisco has been a lifelong fan. Eventually, I grew to love the Giants myself and some of our favorite date nights have taken place at AT&T Park.
I even got him a brick as a wedding gift. Can you tell, we love to go visit it? I'm so proud of the World Series champion San Francisco Giants and will be one of just a million others standing along Market Street tomorrow cheering them on at the parade.
Go Giants!

Feels Like Fall
It's starting to feel a lot like fall around here! The apple spice candles are burning, I'm drinking chai tea like it's my job and I carved a pumpkin!
I found it to be the perfect activity while watching the Giants in the World Series! If you follow me on instagram you saw that I sketched out the owl pattern for my pumpkin. I like to first decide what I'm going to carve then shop for the perfect pumpkin.
Hope you are up to some fun fall activities! Happy Halloween!
I noticed a lot of people were googling for "owl pumpkin stencil" so I decided to upload mine for you to download, print and carve! Enjoy!

My Juice Journey
Last week I was invited to a pre-opening event for EvolutionFresh. Long story short – In the 1970's Jimmy made money during the summers selling fresh squeezed juice on the beaches of sunny So Cal. He then founded Naked Juice. Fast Forward to the 1990's he starts Evolution Fresh and offers premium juice, fruit smoothies, soups and salads. Now – Evolution Fresh opens a location on Fillmore Street.
I loved spending my morning tasting their fresh juices. This was my first time trying greens in liquid form! Liked it. The food was surprisingly delicious and filling and made me feel good. I don't think I've eaten that much fruits and greens…..ever. I can't wait to go back and I'm happy to welcome them to San Francisco!

Beach Blanket Doggylon - Starring Ginger
Every year, I make Ginger a Halloween costume. So far she has been a shark (which won in a costume contest) and a dinosaur. This year I made her the doggy version of the Beach Blanket Babylon finale act!The costume was made from recycled cardboard, foam board and paint.All in all, this took me around three hours to make and cost me just a few dollars as I had most of the material on hand.The costume looks awesome on her and she actually doesn't mind wearing it. Also, I'm thinking this could work for me as a costume in the future. Winning all the way around!

Risks & Tasty Rewards
When you're young and free of big commitments you have the freedom to take risks. Recently, Christoph and me embarked on a risky little venture that I'm so excited to share with you today! We became part owners in a new restaurant that opened last week in Berkeley: Belli OsteriaBelli features an ever-changing menu of Northern Italian inspired cuisine – specifically ravioli. Having just spent time in this region of Italy, you can imagine our excitement to sit down and break bread with our new restaurant family. I know you think I may be just a bit biased but truth be told, the food is absolutely amazing. Homemade pasta and ravioli made from fresh local ingredients. Food that tastes good and feels good. But if you don't want to go based on what I'm saying then I urge you to check out their write-ups in Daily Candy, SF Chronicle Blog, Grub Street, Thrillist and Tasting Table.If you go, be sure to let me know what you think!

Wedding Chicks: How to Build a Pie Bar
A few months back, I had the pleasure of participating in a pie theme dessert bar photo shoot with the A Savvy Event team. Let's just say it was SWEET!

Wedding Invitations in Less than 24 Hours
Christoph came home from work a few weeks ago and told me that our engaged friends - Tom and Anna were a bit stressed out about their wedding invitations. The wedding was just two months away and they didn't know where to start with wedding invitations.
We made plans for them to stop by our apartment that weekend and within 24 hours I had their invitations designed, printed and completed! Phew! Talk about a rush order! But, sometimes it's nice to finish projects before you even have time to think about starting.
While this isn't my typical design aesthetic, I do like how they turned out and Tom and Anna loved them!

Where to Stay While Traveling
Sometimes the place you stay can make or break a vacation. Case in point – the first time Christoph and me traveled together internationally we learned that air conditioning is for me, a necessary - not compromise. In my defense we were in Costa Rica, it was HOT and our windows didn't have screens and we had to keep them closed. Sorry, dengue fever and malaria are low on my souvenir list.
Since then, we've traveled the globe and we've stayed in some amazing locations. Most of the places we stayed for our trip to Italy were booked through Airbnb and we had THE BEST experience!
In the Chianti Region we stayed in this dream setting on a vineyard. We were greeted by the host with a bottle of wine made from the owner's grapes. The house was situated atop a small hill surrounded by sprawling vineyards – everywhere you looked was another gorgeous view. Obviously from the pictures you can see that we made good use of the pool. This place is an absolute gem and I hope to visit again in the future.
We had a very pleasant stay in Sabrina's family B and B. The location was outside of the walls of Lucca (a short 10 minute walk). We had a car and parking was very easy. Our room was clean, the Internet connection was strong and the breakfast was simple. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
We had a lovely stay in Florence! Marta greeted us with a bottle of wine and had the fridge stocked with fresh milk and orange juice. The apartment was wonderful (clean, functional and a great location). Once you're in the heart of Florence everything is very walk-able! We loved it.
If you're traveling to Italy….or anywhere I would highly recommend AirBnb!

OAKLAND -- Notes from halftime as the New Orleans Saints lead the Oakland Raiders, 17-10 in a preseason game:
New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees, a long-time Raider killer, ripped the Raiders apart again. He threw for 189 yards before being taken out late in the half. The Saints were 6-for-8 on third-down conversions with Brees in the game. New Orleans tight end Jimmy Graham had five catches for 73 yards in the first half.
The Raiders' offense looked great on their first series. Everyone looked sharp as they cruised down the field 91 yards for a touchdown. Running back Michael Bush was tremendous as he had 32 yards on five carries in the first half. He looks to be in midseason form.
Rookie Taiwan Jones had 10 yards on four carries and he had a nifty run on a short pass called back by penalty. Yes, he is as advertised -- the fourth-round pick can fly. Expect Oakland to feature him on third-down screen plays during the season.
Oakland kicker Sebastian Janikowski showed off his monster leg with a 57-yard field goal. I'm not one to make outrageous predictions, but mark me down for this one: Janikowski breaks the NFL record for the longest field goal this season. He has the leg and Oakland coach Hue Jackson trusts him. The record is 63 yards.
Brees picked on rookie DeMarcus Van Dyke at will. Van Dyke is getting great experience, but if he doesn't make fast strides, teams will challenge him early and often when he is on the field.
Veteran receiver Derek Hagan scored on a 35-yard pass from Jason Campbell on the team's first possession. The journeyman receiver is having a strong summer and he could be in Oakland's receiving rotation.
Campbell was sharp. He completed 12 of 17 passes for 150 yards. He looked good in the two-minute drill on the final drive of the half before he was picked off on a deflected pass. Campbell did well in the two-minute drill late last season.
Oakland's offensive line looked solid. It's a work in progress, but it is making strides. I like rookie Stefen Wisniewski at left guard and veteran Samson Satele at center. Wisniewski is very athletic and seems to play with a nasty streak. He excelled in the first half in run blocking.
Defensive lineman Richard Seymour is being held out with a hamstring injury.
Running back Darren McFadden and receiver Jacoby Ford also are among those not playing. They returned to practice this week, but they are being held out as a precaution. Expect to see them when the regular season begins in Denver.
Pass-rusher Trevor Scott played for the first time since suffering a knee injury in November.
Oakland second-year middle linebacker Rolando McClain looks very active. He is always near the ball.
Nick Miler muffed the opening kickoff. Not a great move for a guy on the bubble.
NBC reported during its telecast that quarterback Terelle Pryor will not play Sunday night, but he will play Friday in the preseason finale at Seattle. Oakland took the former Ohio State quarterback in the supplemental draft Monday.
Oakland receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had two drops.
Jeff Miller, the head of NFL security, is at the game as part of the league's investigation into the fan violence following the Raiders' game at San Francisco last week. He said the league hasn't made a final decision on whether or not the annual preseason series between the two Bay Area teams will be postponed next year. That recommendation has been made.

This is where I go first. Condensing Luke into a single volume while still being comprehensive is an unenviable task. Green has capably achieved just that. I finely written, but never lacking in detail commentary, which balances scholarly rigour with pastoral relevance. If you can only choose one commentary on Luke, this really should be it.
My hero! This was brilliant. Besides the difficulty in getting used to his technical style of writing, I learnt so much from it and how to study scripture.
It combines wide-ranging reading, a narrative approach, and readable prose. [Full Review]
Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1997. Pp. xcii + 928, Cloth, No Price Available, ISBN 0802823157. Robert C. Tannehill Methodist Theological School in Ohio Delaware, OH 43015 Joel Green's commentary focuses on the Gospel of Luke in its final form, viewed as a literary work. It is a strict and complete example of a recent trend to abandon the methods of tradition history, form criticism, and redaction criticism. Green does not even make comparisons of Lukan material with other Gospels. He does not assume, however, that a literary work can be understood apart from a cultural context. "All language is embedded in culture," Green writes. Hence we must be concerned with Luke's "social setting," and by this we mean more than "narrative world" as this phrase is used in narrative criticism. We mean more than the world available to us only through the narrative viewed as a closed system, but less than the world often represented to us by historical-critical inquiry. The former strips the Gospel of Luke of its cultural embeddedness, while the latter assumes too easily that the (real) social world wherein Luke's story is set can and should simply be read into Luke's narrative. As we will see, Luke does not represent the "real world" so straightforwardly, but both seeks to provide an alternative view of that world and chooses aspects of that world to emphasize while downplaying others (p. 12). Green's point is important. No literary work can be divorced from its cultural context, yet that context can be interpreted in various ways. A significant literary work is engaged in presenting its own interpretation of social life. [Full Review]

Sonia Kapadia knows her customer well.
It took a number of focus groups, hosted at the New York City apartment she shares with her husband and 2-year-old son, and handfuls of surveys collected and analyzed over the course of months. But it gave her target user an identity.
"It was a woman," says Kapadia, 33, who launched Taste Savant, a restaurant discovery website and mobile app, back in the summer of 2012.
A 25- to 45-year-old professional woman, to be specific, with limited free time. She wants to be in the know when it comes to dining out, and Yelp isn't cutting it, Kapadia says.
Kapadia is hesitant to pigeonhole the site as being solely female-focused, and really it's not. The user base is split 60-40, women to men. But there's no denying that Taste Savant has a type, she said.
"Because we are so focused on her and her needs, it helped us really focus on what the product needed to be," Kapadia tells me. "We built the product for her, and yeah, it pretty much holds true that she's our key target audience."
The online restaurant review space is crowded, to say the least. There's Yelp, of course, and Zagat, as well as Urbanspoon and Chowhound. Local publications in big markets are go-to destinations for those looking for a good place to eat, and then there are the bloggers.
But Kapadia swears she's found a niche, a hole in the restaurant review/recommendation space.
The idea came about when she was tasked with planning date night with her husband. They had recently moved back to New York after a few years in London, so she was unfamiliar with the state of the city's ever-changing restaurant scene.

This site is so cool! Type in your address or any address you fancy, and then Vpike will take you there on the map. If the roads are marked in blue you can zoom in until you see the street itself.
I typed in the address where I spent my childhood in Lorain, and I was lucky enough to get blue streets. So I zoomed in, and there was my old house. It was kind of freaky because it looked as though the only thing that had changed from my childlike view of things was that our car wasn't in the driveway.
I think this would also be a great way to scope out a house you want to purchase, or if you have directions to somewhere you've never been before and want to get a feel for what the area looks like you could check it out here.
And I love the simulated drive-by option. You can watch the YouTube video to get a better idea of how that option and works and a list of other things you can use the site for.
Check it out today, and take a stroll down memory lane like I did!

Some of you may have noticed that Celtics 24/7 has been a little off lately. Whether its running slowly or not working correctly I just wanted to let everyone know that everything should be fixed by tonight. Due to the high amount of traffic we have been getting we ran out of bandwidth and our host simply couldn't handle it. In a way that is a good thing because it shows we have a great following and dedicated fans. However, it is still annoying and we are working on the problem as we speak.
With that said, get ready for some big things going down very soon! I can't release all the details yet, but it will be a very nice surprise for all our fans and viewers. Keep checking back for updates. We should be announcing at least one of the surprises sometime this week… and yes there is more than one!

Lauryn Hill staked out her high-minded aspirations as she began her set on Tuesday night at the Theater at Madison Square Garden. From a darkened stage came Bob Marley's ''Redemption Song,'' about music's promise of freedom and consolation; then she sang ''His Eye Is on the Sparrow,'' about the certainty of faith. Reggae and gospel are touchstones for Ms. Hill, who's determined to pass on positive messages along with a groove. But she doesn't stop there. She also wants to update the sensuality and confessional intimacy of smooth 1970's soul and to harness the streetwise bluntness of hip-hop. For long stretches of her show at the Theater she managed to do it all.
Her first solo album, ''The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill'' (Ruffhouse/Columbia), has sold five million copies and won the Grammy Award for album of the year, making it clear that Ms. Hill no longer needs the Fugees, the hip-hop group with whom she made two albums. As both singer and rapper, she has forged a multilevel pop persona: smart and vulnerable, affectionate and strong, fervent but capable of admitting mistakes. She falls for untrustworthy men, demands more of them and decides to rely on herself. And she insists, to herself and to performers who would pander to mass tastes, that ''music is supposed to inspire.''
Ms. Hill has placed herself in the lineage of visionaries like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, Maurice White and Prince, musicians whose omnivorous tastes reflect their unwillingness to accept any arbitrary barriers. In the tradition of gospel preaching, she offers her own experiences as cautionary tales and hopeful parables while trying not to set herself above her listeners. ''No matter how many awards I get or how many albums I sell,'' she announced on Tuesday night, ''I'm still the same person.'' She added that she was ''no different'' from her listeners. ''I just got opportunity, thank God,'' she said, and an organ chord swelled behind her as if she were in a church pulpit.
Performers obsessed with their own responsibility can turn into bores, but Ms. Hill knows better. Onstage, she put the music ahead of the words: vocal phrases melted into cascading melismas while the band's lush, rolling vamps evolved from quiet-storm romantic soul to crisply syncopated reggae. Where Wyclef Jean of the Fugees uses his concerts as an exhibition of his versatility, trotting out styles one by one, Ms. Hill treats her music as a pool of kindred African-American (and Caribbean) ideas from which any strain can float to the surface.
Girl talk, American and Jamaican-style raps, sultry crooning, soulful exhortation and even a hint of jazz scat-singing poured out of Ms. Hill, while her band followed every fluctuation. She had a horn section to underscore her reggae leanings, a pair of disk jockeys and a male backup M.C. for hip-hop effects and three female backup singers to deliver gospel-soul responses. Ms. Hill could sound tender or aggressive, husky or airy; she turned notes into spiraling long melismas or glided coolly through her melodies. She is a student of pop-soul improvisation, borrowing vocal lines from Bill Withers, Mavis Staples, Etta James and Aretha Franklin. But while she openly relies on her musical ancestors, the character she creates is her own.
For the first third of her show, she was remarkable: confident, improvisatory, utterly persuasive. Then she stopped trusting her own material. She disappeared backstage for a 10-minute costume change while her band dispensed drum and percussion solos (adding Latin music to the show's palette). Then she returned with a lengthy, misguided ploy: a battle between the disk jockeys playing records and the band backing her in other people's hits, from the Jackson Five's ''I Want You Back'' to Jay-Z's ''Hard Knock Life'' to Bob Marley's ''War.'' But her own songs had already demonstrated her range, better than the borrowed songs, and eventually she returned to them. With the motherly love of ''Zion,'' the admonitions of ''Doo Wop'' -- warning girls that some men are only after ''that thing'' -- and the steadfast optimism of ''Everything Is Everything,'' Ms. Hill sent the grooves from New York to Jamaica and from the 1950's to the 1990's. As as the music pumped and surged, she gently insisted that intelligence and fortitude are the best foundations for a good time.Continue reading the main story

John Douglas Naysmith (born 1 April 1941) is a British Labour Co-operative politician who was the Member of Parliament (MP) for Bristol North West from 1997 until standing down at the 2010 general election.
Early life[edit]
Doug Naysmith was born in Musselburgh, Scotland, and attended the local Burgh School before attending the independent George Heriot's School in Edinburgh. He went on to study at the University of Edinburgh where he was awarded a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology before going on to complete a Doctorate in Immunology. He went on to research at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, USA.[1]
From 1970 he worked as a research immunologist at Beecham Research Laboratory until 1972 when he became a Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, he remained at Bristol until his election to Parliament, becoming a Fellow in 1976 and a lecturer in the Pathology Department in 1981.[1]
Parliamentary career[edit]
Naysmith unsuccessfully contested the seat of Bristol at the 1979 European Parliament election. He was elected to Bristol City Council in 1981 and remained a Council member until he stood down in 1998. He also served as the Chairman of the Port of Bristol Authority from 1986 until 1991. He first stood for Parliament at the 1987 General Election for Cirencester and Tewkesbury, where he was defeated by the then Secretary of State for the Environment Nicholas Ridley. He contested Bristol North West at the 1992 General Election when he lost out by the narrowest margins (just 45 votes) to the sitting Conservative MP Michael Stern.[1]
Naysmith was elected to Parliament at the 1997 General Election defeating Stern by a substantial 11,382 votes and holding the seat ever since.[1] However, on 25 January 2007, he announced his intention to stand down at the 2010 general election due to his advancing age.[2]
During his time in Parliament, Naysmith was largely loyal to the government. Though he abstained in the Parliamentary vote authorizing British military involvement in the Iraq War in 2003 and voted against the introduction of Foundation Hospitals, he joined with the government in voting for the introduction of top-up fees, helping Prime Minister Blair secure an extremely narrow 5 vote majority (316-311). In 2004 he voted for an outright ban on fox hunting in England and Wales, passed the House of Commons by a substantial margin.[3]
Naysmith takes an active interest in health issues, was joint Chair of the Parliamentary Labour Party Health Committee and was a member of many all party groups related to health matters. He is a long-standing member of the Socialist Health Association. Naysmith was a member of two select committees: Health and Regulatory Reform and he campaigned successfully to persuade the Government to propose the comprehensive smoking ban which came into force in July 2007. Other political interests include ports and shipping, science, higher education and Co-operative development. He was Chair of the Parliamentary and Scientific Committee and secretary of the Parliamentary Universities Group. He is also President of mental health charity The Dementia Care Trust.
After Parliament[edit]
Although Naysmith stood down from Parliament at the 2010 general election, he stood as a candidate for the Labour party in the Bristol City Council local elections, winning the Avonmouth seat from the Conservatives. The number of votes cast for him and his Conservative opponent was the same and the result was decided by the returning officer drawing Naysmith's name from a ballot box.[4][5]

The Danes stunned the Bianconeri by taking the lead shortly after the interval with a sublime set piece and then, after Mirko Vucinic's equalizer, somehow held on for a point.
However, it could have been even worse for the Bianconeri, who fell behind to a stunning free kick goal from Mikkel Beckmann early in the second half. Indeed, there were just under 10 minutes remaining when the Italian champion finally drew level through substitute Mirko Vucinic.
Fellow replacement Nicklas Bendtner had a chance to be a hero on home soil but he headed wide late on and Juve was forced to settle for its third successive draw in this season's Champions League - and ninth in total in European competition.
The Bianconeri had gone into the game in Copenhagen knowing that nothing less than a victory would suffice if the club was to retain any real chance of progressing as winner of Group E - or perhaps even progressing at all.
Still, while the visitors, and Andrea Pirlo in particular, were undoubtedly intent on taking control of the game early on, FCN was in no mood to be pushed around and enjoyed plenty of possession in the opening exchanges.
Indeed, with Kasper Lorentzen, Joshua John and Andreas Laudrup all impressing in support of lone frontman Beckmann, the tournament debutant carried an undeniable attacking threat. The club could even have taken the lead on the half hour when John latched onto a kick from Jesper Hansen and looked to flick the ball past the onrushing Gianluigi Buffon only to see the goalkeeper rather fortuitously block with the side of his chest when it could so easily have been his flailing left arm.
However, it was Juve, with Pirlo predictably pulling the strings, which looked the more likely to score in a tight opening 45 minutes. With one superbly-executed, first-time pass in behind the FCN defense, Pirlo put Sebastian Giovinco in on goal only for the diminutive forward to be muscled off the ball by the impressive Jores Okore.
It was undoubtedly Giovinco who was carrying the Bianconeri's most potent attacking threat but after seeing a smart volley saved by Jesper Hansen on 28 minutes, the former Parma man squandered a terrific chance to break the deadlock moments later after being played through by Paolo De Ceglie. Giovinco rounded the advancing Hansen with ease but allowed the acute angle to get the better of him and fired into the side netting.
The diminutive forward also tested Hansen with stinging drives either side of half time, first after sending the scrambling FCN defence one way and then the other, and then after latching onto a fine knock-on by strike partner Alessandro Matri.
The opening goal, therefore, came as a real bolt from the blue - and Juventus only had itself to blame, some sloppy play in midfield eventually leading to De Ceglie putting his own defense under pressure with a poor pass before an unsettled Giorgio Chiellini needlessly barged Laudrup out of the way on the edge of the area.
Beckmann, whose shooting up until this point had been tame at best, stepped up to take the resulting free kick and calmly curled the ball up and over the wall and into the top right corner, sparking raucous celebrations from the home side's supporters.
Juventus, unsurprisingly, redoubled its efforts in a bid to drag back into the game and Giovinco, after rising wonderfully to meet another fine De Ceglie delivery, was only denied a long overdue goal by the most amazing one-handed save from Hansen.
The Italian champion continued to press, sending Bendtner and Vucinic on to bolster its attacking ranks. In the end, it was the latter who made the breakthrough, volleying home a fine cross from Mauricio Isla from wide on the right side with just under 10 minutes remaining.
Bendtner, though, could have really kick started his Juventus career on 87 minutes but he headed another inviting cross from De Ceglie well wide after arriving late into the area. In truth, though, it was probably only just that FCN held on to claim the greatest result in the club's 21-year history.

DC Shoe Co's Hammock Sandal
Suggested retail: $21.99
With the recent rains in Southern California, I have unfortunately ruined quite a few pairs of sandals and shoes walking through puddles, dodging mudslides, and rescuing small woodland creatures from watery death. (just kidding on that last one)
Enter DC Shoe Co's new "Hammock" sandal. Soft and cushiony on my feet and yet grippy enough on the soles to help me navigate the walk down the goat trail at Black's. The straps are made from soft nubuck, in order to prevent chafing on the vital areas of your feet.
And if you're looking for something a little more office-friendly, check out the suede version of the same model – it's called the "Hampton".(suggested retail: $31.99)

Apart from being palpable rot, this saying carries with it the insinuation that poor horses are somehow more expendable than their faster stablemates.
While Cheltenham promotion swept most other matters to the sidelines this week, four of these so-called 'bad ones' slipped off the map.
While the names of Red Columbia and For Heaven's Sake, who were killed at Southwell on Wednesday, and Lusty Lad and Donosti, who also died on the all-weather, at Lingfield the following day, may not flourish for long in the minds of betting shop habitues, they may become associated with a changing face of the sport. Their deaths have focused a debate that has been bubbling for some time and, this week, several trainers, such as Roger Spicer, Ken Bridgwater and Bill Preece, announced they would never send horses to Southwell again.
The problem which racing's administrators have to address is twofold. Many trainers dislike Southwell's Fibresand surface, which is thought to be 'deader' than when first put down, while others are critics of the hurdles, which, since October 1992, have been mini fences. It is when those two factors interact that the alert starts sounding for racehorses.
'The hurdles are too stiff,' Trevor Wall, who rode For Heaven's Sake on Wednesday, said yesterday. 'One mistake over them and you're on the floor with potentially fatal consequences.
'And nine times out of 10 when you fall on turf, horses slide along the ground and get up and walk away. But there is no forgiveness on the all- weather and it's like having a head-on crash at 30mph.
'When the horse hits the floor, the floor doesn't give so the horse has to. That means a broken bone, back or neck.' Wall, coincidentally, rode his 100th winner on another of this week's victims, Red Columbia, whose 57-race career ended on a cold afternoon in Nottinghamshire. The 13-year-old chestnut had done the rounds and his final trainer was Frank Coton, an 82-year-old permit holder. He won four races and was unusually betrayed by his jumping on his final outing. Two seasons earlier he had completed the Grand National course in the John Hughes Memorial Handicap Chase.
'Red Columbia was a lovely old horse and I hate to think of old favourites like him running round Southwell and ending up dead if they make a mistake. Horses like him may not be the best class, but they're old favourites to a lot of punters,' Wall said.
'All horses fall, even the best jumpers in the world like Desert Orchid fall. They all make mistakes and horses should be able to get away with the odd mistake.'
For Heaven's Sake's was an archetypal example of the worst fall Southwell provides, when a horse runs into the 2ft 6in high solid board at the base of each hurdle and is literally overtaken by its backside. The nine-year-old died instantly of a broken neck after a grotesque back somersault.
Bill Preece, the gelding's trainer, like others in his trade, would like to see a return to the original all-weather hurdles, even though they drew criticism themselves at the time. The image remains of frontrunners kicking the gossamer obstacles out of the ground and others dodging through the gaps. 'Everyone said the old hurdles were Mickey Mouse, but at least they had some give,' said Preece, who also lost Ternimus at Southwell just over a year ago. 'And they also gave horses a chance.'
The Jockey Club response to this week's fatalities will come only after assessment of the broader scale of statistics for the whole of last season.
However, what is already known is that there are fewer fallers on the all-weather than on turf, though figures on the deaths that occur from these errors are not yet available.
Neither will Portman Square be setting up a special operations room in the light of this week's deaths. 'The all- weather has been in use now since 1989 and it was exhaustively tested and approved at the outset by the trainers,' David Pipe, the Jockey Club's spokesman, said yesterday. 'The hurdle we've got at the moment was also trialled extensively by trainers and jockeys, all of whom, without exception, gave it the thumbs up.
'We will be looking at the overall figures to see if there are any lessons to be drawn, but on this specific case we've had no representation at all suggesting that there is anything wrong with either the surface or the hurdle from either the National Trainers' Federation (NTF) or the Jockeys' Association.'
That may not be the case after the NTF holds its annual general meeting tomorrow, though the Jockey Club's attention will mainly be held by this week's all-weather jumps meetings at Southwell on Wednesday and Lingfield the following day. Only then will a clean bill of health substantiate the belief that last week was nothing more than a blip in the racing season.

About Odell Easy Street Wheat
Light and refreshing, Easy Street Wheat is an unfiltered American-style wheat beer. Leaving in the yeast gives the beer a nice, smooth finish and a slightly citrusy flavor. Easy Street Wheat gets its name by brewers "taking it easy" and not filtering the beer. However, for ultimate enjoyment, we encourage you to work just a little harder in pouring it: just pour 2/3 of the beer into a glass, swirl what's left to stir up the yeast, then pour the rest and enjoy.

Be very glad you are still dealing with just the FCC. US Customs (Homeland Security) has been getting into RF enforcement lately. Somebody was running a pirate radio station in downtown ABQ not so long back and US Customs shut them down. I used to work in broadcast engineering and had a good relationship with the FCC but dealing with jack booted goons with machine guns is a whole different ballgame.
No public wish lists :(

Dear Tax Talk,
My mom is 63 years old and my dad passed away six years ago. Mom is currently receiving Social Security survivors benefits and Medicare. She does not work and has no income. I am currently supporting her throughout the year. Will I be able to claim Mom as a dependent?
The most important thing is: Will she stop receiving her Social Security or Medicare benefits if I claim her as a dependent on my taxes?
-- Jay
Dear Jay,
Your mother is fortunate to have you as her son. As your mother, she is considered to be a qualifying relative and does not even have to live with you in order for you to claim the exemption. If she had gross income over $3,900, then you would not be able to claim her. But fortunately for you, her Social Security income is not included in the $3,900 gross income test.
However, there is one more hurdle for you: That is, you are going to have to determine if you pay more than one-half of her total support for the year. If you do, then yes, you will be able to claim her as a dependent. Her total support includes housing, food, utilities, clothing, travel and recreation, medical and dental expenses.
Her Social Security and Medicare benefits should not be affected if you claim her.
Thanks for the question.

Keith Haring was an iconic art figure of the 20th century, who rose from scrawling graffiti in New York's subways in the early 1980s to create famous pieces that now live in some of the world's most important museums. With an almost otherworldly ability to speak through silent images, Haring became famous for painting joyous, capering figures in bold black outlines filled in with even bolder colors. Having died in 1990 at the age of 31, "A Celebration of the Life & Art of Keith Haring" aims to proliferate Haring's legacy. The event, hosted by Martin Margulies and Lee Schrager, showcases more than 200 original pieces, many of which have never before made public appearances. Exhibits allow patrons from all generations revisit Haring's seminal 1980s works and ongoing impact on art culture.

Absolutely agree! If it's a book, a manual, or some other document that
I want to thumb through, flip from page to page, read bits here and
then, scan text quickly, put sticky tabs to mark pages, scribble written
notes on pages -- and do it in comfort and convenience, not trapped at
my desk -- then an electronic version is just NOT SATISFACTORY!! (even
with laptops, Airport wireless all through my house, and so on [1]).
On the other hand, nothing replaces doing a full-text electronic search
through a long electronic document or manual looking for some term; or
the ease of having color or animations. And nothing can be immediately
and continuously updated the way an electronic document can.
The ideal is to have a paper copy, *and* an electronic version at hand,
with the latter containing tons of supplemental material, updates, and
search capability.
[1] With a laptop now being not just my primary but my one and only
computer, and Airport throughout my house, I personally do a lot of
"away from my desk" computing all over the house -- but I'm still always
nervous about dropping it, spilling coffee in it, dog knocks it off the
couch, etc.


text: NORTH WALES, Pa., Sept. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Teva Women's Health, a U.S. subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., today announced that the recently approved Quartette™ (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) tablets are now available via prescription in the U.S. for the prevention of pregnancy. Quartette™ represents the only extended-regimen oral contraceptive approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) with an ascending dose of estrogen designed to provide women with four short, light periods per year.There is no medical need for a woman to have a monthly period when she is on an oral contraceptive. Quartette™ extends a woman's cycle from a typical 28 days to 91 days, allowing only 4 periods per year and therefore 9 months out of the year without a period. Women who take Quartette™ will likely have more bleeding or spotting between scheduled periods compared to taking a birth control pill with a 28-day dosing cycle. This bleeding or spotting tends to decrease with each additional cycle. "New contraceptive options, such as Quartette™, can help women to manage their reproductive and contraceptive health in a way that fits their individual needs," said David Portman, M.D., Columbus Center for Women's Health Research, Columbus, Ohio and clinical investigator of Quartette™. "Quartette's™ dosing regimen makes it an option for women who want to have more period-free days, with four scheduled periods per year." Teva is offering a Quartette™ Savings Card as part of the company's dedication to providing affordable birth control to women. Certain terms and restrictions apply. Visit HerQuartette.com for more information. " Teva Women's Health has led the pharmaceutical industry in the development and marketing of extended-regimen oral contraceptives – of which Quartette™ is the most recent option," said Martin Berndt, Vice President & General Manager, U.S. Brand Pharmaceuticals, Teva Women's Health, Inc. "Through striving to address unmet needs and closely engaging with women and healthcare providers, Teva continues to serve as a true partner for women as they manage their health through their reproductive years." About Quartette™ (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) TabletsQuartette™ is the first extended-regimen oral contraceptive where the dose of estrogen gradually increases at three distinct points for the first 84 days and was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on March 29, 2013 for the prevention of pregnancy. The efficacy and safety of Quartette™ was evaluated in a Phase III multicenter, open-label, single arm study of more than 3,000 sexually active women at risk for pregnancy between the ages of 18-35. Quartette™ was 97 percent effective at preventing pregnancy. Data further demonstrated that the most common adverse reactions (≥2%) were headaches, heavy/irregular vaginal bleeding, nausea/vomiting, acne, dysmenorrhea, increased weight, mood changes, anxiety/panic attack, breast pain and migraines. The primary clinical trial that evaluated the efficacy of Quartette™ also assessed breakthrough bleeding (BTB). BTB and unscheduled spotting decreased over successive 91 day cycles. Quartette™ reduced the mean number of days with breakthrough bleeding (BTB) by half from cycle 1 to cycle 2 and spotting was cut in half from cycle 1 to cycle 3. i Indication Quartette™ (levonorgestrel/ethinyl estradiol and ethinyl estradiol) tablets are indicated for use by women to prevent pregnancy. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Who should not take Quartette ™? WARNING TO WOMEN WHO SMOKEDo not use Quartette ™ if you smoke cigarettes and are over 35 years old. Smoking increases your risk of serious cardiovascular side effects from birth control pills, including death from heart attack, blood clots, or stroke. The risk increases with age and the number of cigarettes you smoke. Do not take Quartette ™ if you have or have had blood clots, liver disease or liver tumors, breast cancer or any cancer that is sensitive to female hormones, a history of heart attack or stroke, any unexplained bleeding from the vagina, or if you may be pregnant. What are the most serious risks of taking Quartette™? Quartette™ increases the risk of serious blood clots, especially in women who have other risk factors, such as smoking, obesity, or age greater than 35. This increased risk is highest when you first start taking birth control pills and when you restart the same or different birth control pills after not using them for a month or more. Call your healthcare provider right away if you have: persistent leg pain; sudden shortness of breath; sudden blindness (partial or complete); severe pain or pressure in your chest; sudden, severe headache unlike your usual headaches; weakness or numbness in an arm or leg, or trouble speaking; yellowing of the skin or eyeballs. Depression can occur when taking Quartette™, especially if you have had depression in the past. Call your healthcare provider immediately if you have any thoughts of harming yourself.

Kate Walsh
Showing off her beach bod, Kate Walsh enjoyed some fun in the sun with her boyfriend Chris Case in Miami on Thursday (December 13).
The "Private Practice" star was looking great at 45 in a teeny black bikini as she took a dip in the ocean with her man.
Enjoying a sunny stroll with her boyfriend, Chris Case, Kate Walsh was spotted on the beach in Miami on Wednesday (December 12).
The "Private Practice" star wore a gray patriotic T-shirt, blue daisy dukes, and a straw hat as she smiled contently, strolling the sand.
While most of America is bundled up in winter coats, Kate Walsh showed off her beach bod in a bikini in Miami Beach, Florida on Tuesday (December 11).
The 45-year-old actress showed she still has it in a tiny black bikini as she splashed around in the surf.
Having their very own "Grey's Anatomy" reunion, Katherine Heigl and Kate Walsh showed up at the Hotel Café in Hollywood last night (November 21).
Both ladies looked lovely as they chatted and laughed after having dinner and watching Katherine's husband Josh Kelley give a concert at the venue.
While the purpose of the evening was to honor the top men (and Rihanna) in the entertainment industry, the 2012 GQ Men of the Year party last night (November 13) also had plenty of beautiful ladies.
"Pitch Perfect" babe Brittany Snow showed up at the Chateau Marmont in a vintage YSL dress teamed with Jerome Rousseau shoes, mingling with a Temperley London-wearing Julianne Hough.
Kicking off the weekend a bit early, Samsung invited a bunch of beautiful celebrities to celebrate the launch of their Galaxy Note II device last night (October 25).
"Spring Breakers" babe Vanessa Hudgens was all smiles as she arrived at the private residence to check out the new high-tech gadget.
After the departure of Tim Daly in May, and Kate Walsh announcing that the sixth season would be her last, "Private Practice" has decided to close up shop at the end of the current season.
Show creator Shonda Rimes announced the decision on Friday (October 19) via her Whosay account, stating, "I'm sad to say that Private Practice's run will end after episode 613 this season. There was a lot of discussion and debate but, in the end, the guys at the network and the studio and I all decided that Private Practice was reaching its finish line. Creatively, we are all extremely proud of the show and especially proud of this season -- which you will all soon discover is a creative renaissance. I can't wait for you to see it."
It was another crucial evening for both President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney as they faced off against each other in the second Presidential Debate.
And while both sides made their respective points effectively, some of our favorite celebrities had their own ideas about who came out on top while others seemed more interested in the comedic value of the whole ordeal.
Always one of the more hoppin' soirees of the weekend, the 2012 Primetime Emmy Awards: Entertainment Weekly Party was the place to be in Hollywood on Friday night (September 21).
Among those on hand for the Fig & Olive held fete were a bevy of lovely ladies including the gorgeous Olivia Munn, "Modern Family" actress Sarah Hyland, "Beverly Hills, 90210" alum Jennie Garth and Ginnifer Goodwin of "Big Love" stardom.
Gearing up for the exciting week ahead, Audi & Derek Lam hosted an Emmy Week Kickoff party at Cecconi's Restaurant in Los Angeles last night (September 16).
"Modern Family" favorites Ty Burrell and Julie Bowen both looked to be in good spirits as they arrived for the fete.

Last November, a Rolls-Royce Trent engine explosion on a Qantas A380 superjumbo sent tremors through the aviation industry. Eight years earlier a blowout on a similar engine virtually handed John Leahy a $US3.5 billion deal.
In 2002, Leahy took an Airbus A340 test plane to Johannesburg for an unprecedented fly-off against a Boeing 777 that would see South African Airways entire board taken aloft for two trial flights.
The omens were not good. The latest stretched model of the A340 was not yet in service and Airbus only had a drab-looking test plane available for the contest. SAA, a longtime Boeing customer, had decided the Airbus should fly first; behind the scenes there were problems getting the plane ready on time.
Finally, the four-engined A340 took off, wheeling above South Africa's high veldt as Leahy plied his guests with champagne and sales chat. The Airbus exec's sales spiel had been built around the slogan "four engines are better than two", and Leahy emphasised that this was especially true in hot, high airports like Johannesburg where engines need to work harder.
Boeing argued four engines were twice the trouble.
It was the worst experience of my sales life.
After the Airbus landed, it was time for Boeing's Toby Bright to transfer the passengers onto his 777 wide-body and take it through its paces. As the Boeing thundered down the runway, though, one of its two Trent 800 engines seized up with a loud bang and take-off was aborted.
"We had to screech to a stop on the runway, taxi back and park beside the A340 and John Leahy was standing there," recalls Bright. "It was the worst experience of my sales life. As soon as I saw the engine had blown I knew we had lost."
Read: John Leahy: the man who made Airbus number one
The impact was almost lost when a Rolls representative reminded the shaken airline executives that the Airbus plane also had Rolls-Royce Trent engines. "I didn't talk to that guy for another year and a half," Leahy says.
Airbus won the contract but the 777 has gone on to outsell the A340 six to one.

Jan 27, 2013 - From staff reportsThe Central Wyoming College Board of Trustees voted Wednesday to extend the contracts of two high-level employees.
CWC President Jo Anne McFarland recommended that the board extend the contract for Jason Wood, CWC's executive vice president for student academic services, through June 30, 2015.
"I have every confidence that he will carry that out with grace and good leadership," McFarland said.
She also recommended that the board offer Ron Granger, CWC's vice president of administrative services, his first multi-year contract at the college. The board approved a two-year contract for Granger, also through June 30, 2015.
"I know Ron will keep us in the black," McFarland said. "And I also know that he will continue to be a real fine member of the administrative team."
Compensation for both men will be determined in April in conjunction with the development of CWC's budget for fiscal year 2014.

I was taken to the vet's today to get a benign, fatty tumor (lipoma - as in lipids or fats) surgically removed from under my left foreleg. It's best to catch these things early before they get any bigger. Now I feel all groggy and ill from the anesthesia and the brachial tube put inside my mouth and down my throat. So I don't feel like eating anything right now (Hopefully I'll start eating again by next weekend.) I also got my teeth/gums cleaned and polished, so my mouth feels rather sore inside. I also got some prescription medicine from the vet that I have to take to help get rid of the pain and make me feel better.
Yesterday my Mom drove me down to Washington State Park in Missouri. The trail that we hiked turned out to be harder than Mom thought. It was like 1,000 steps up steep inclines that the Civilain Conservation Corps built back in the 1930s. The C.C.C. also built a scenic overlook shelter at a midway point on the trail for people to stop and rest after climbing all those steps uphill. In the end we ended up at a picnic shelter and couldn't figure out where the rest of the trail finishes. So we went down to the Big River where there were other people swimming and playing in the water (mostly teens). Mom got me into the water and I did a little swimming/wading and then after a while decided I had enough; I'm still somewhat afraid to go in. Definitely not one of the best Missouri State Parks.
We then made a brief stopover at the Sandy Creek Covered Bridge in Jefferson County, Mo. It's one of the last few remaining covered bridges in Missouri and it provided a transportation link between St. Louis and Hillsboro. We met another woman by Sandy Creek under the bridge with her two very small children. I also did a little exploring and wading around in the water here, but I started feeling hot and tired. It was a long drive back home to bed.
Mom dropped me off at Kennelwood Suites in Ballwin, Mo. for my fifth B-Day and went off to Va. to see other hounds (probably friendlier, more outgoing ones). I really enjoyed myself at Kennelwood throughout the rest of May. I did quite a lot of exploring and running around (sniffing the ground all the way) and inspected all the new, exciting bones and toys. Also, I drank some water and relaxed in the shade whenever it started getting too warm in the afternoon. I really loved playing with my "busy bones" and ate all sorts of yummy treats. After running and playing with other dogs, I took a few leisurely naps. Every night I looked at whatever was on Animal Planet, ate a "cookie", and went to bed. I also cuddled with the Kennelwood staff so they could pet me and rub my belly. Some people think that's cute of me!
During the first week of June, Mom took me to a couple of new places in St. Charles for some "doggie" ice cream: mint carob chip and liver. Yum!!

Legal Professional: Build Your Business
Hi! I need some insurance advice. I was in a car accident a little over a month ago. The light was green and I was heading north on my way home from work about 9:30pm. The other driver heading south made a sharp left turn in front of me and we collided. Did I not have the right of way? We both had the light, but shouldn't he have waited until it was clear? He told me he was sorry and didn't see me. The cop told me it was his fault and when his mom arrived she gave me all the insurace info and said they would take cae of it knowing it was her sons fault. I have witnesses that heard her and her son say it was his fault. When I went to the Police Station to get a copy of the accident report I was shocked to find out he didn't get a ticket. Then I received a letter from his insurance company saying I was at greater fault 51%. We only have liability on the car so we can't claim it through our insurance. Should we take it as a loss or go to small claims court? So confused!
You certainly can go to small claims if that is how you want to handle it.
Fair has nothing to do with it.
The other driver's insurance company is not your insurance company and owes you nothing until and unless a court of law says so. Until then it's all a matter of negotiation.
Frankly, I'm also surprised that the other driver didn't get a ticket.
Here in AZ making a left turn in front of somebody and getting hit is an automatic ticket and an automatic 100% at fault.
Personally, I think the other driver's insurance company is full of baloney, but if you accept their offer, they'll pay you 49% of your damage and then go after your insurance company for 51% of the other driver's damage and you would have an at fault accident on your insurance company record.
I think you would do a lot better in small claims court. IL small claims limit is 10,000, it's cheap and informal, and you don't need a lawyer.
It's even possible that the other driver's insurance company will change it's tune once the driver is served with the lawsuit because then they have to add the cost of defending to the cost of the claim.
No guarantees, of course, but I'd go for it if I were you. You can't just roll over because some insurance company says so.

Who with the Romans' strong might couplest the Tyrians' deceit!
But those ever governed with vigor the earth they had conquered,--
These instructed the world that they with cunning had won.
