Dani Tyree added two runs, a triple and single, Nikki Kieffer lined three singles and Sarah Runion tripled.

Fostoria answered right back.
Casey Babb drew a walk, went to third on Karlee Grine's one-out double and scored on a two-out single by Brittany Loomis. Grine later scored when Claire Myers reached on an error.

Water is a key variable in the causes and impacts of many natural disasters.
About 90 percent of disaster events are caused by water/climate-related hazards, such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, storm surges, and landslides. As climate change increases the frequency and intensity of extreme weather, the number of water-related disasters is expected to rise.
To adapt to and mitigate the impact of natural disasters, climate variability, and global climate change, USAID works with developing countries to:
- Reduce the risk of droughts and floods through more effective water resources management.
- Assist countries with the installation and management of disaster monitoring and warning systems.
- Promote the restoration of healthy ecosystems for, among other reasons, their buffering effect on disasters.
- Re-establish functioning water supply and sanitation systems as a critical component of effective and timely responses to natural disasters.
USAID activities in disaster risk reduction include:
- A rapid response program in Ethiopia that has assisted in the construction and rehabilitation of water points and catchments, training of local health workers in emergency health promotion, and the distribution of emergency water treatment chemicals, which benefitted more than 400,000 people in fiscal year 2011.
- In the aftermath of Tropical Storm Washi in the Philippines, USAID supplied nearly 8,000 gallons of water, and assisted in the distribution of water supply, sanitation, and hygiene assistance for 10,730 people in evacuation centers.
- In Haiti, USAID/OFDA provided more than $7 million to support WASH efforts in cholera prevention in fiscal year 2011. Ten thousand community health workers were trained in hygiene promotion and provided with soap and water purification supplies for distribution. In total, 15 million water purification tablets and 33,180 hygiene kits were distributed.
Many so called "natural" disasters are avoidable. By working with developing countries to improve management of land and water resources, or inadequate disaster planning, preparation, and response, USAID is helping nations reduce vulnerability to natural disasters and global climate change.

A season of Sunday afternoon concerts at Langley Community Music School kicks off this weekend with award-winning pianist Milton Schlosser.
In the premiere of the 2012-13 season of Concerts Cafe Classico, the school has invited the Alberta professor to perform, explained Elizabeth Bergmann, a fellow concert pianist and the school's artistic director of concerts.
"We are looking forward to a superb season filled with beautiful masterworks performed by great artists," Bergmann said.
"Concert enthusiasts can expect a variety of genres and styles of music ranging from groups like the famous Gryphon Trio to a night of jazz with a wonderful group of LCMS' faculty. Music is as much an integral part of our lives as it is an essential element to our culture. Join us this season as we partake in exciting musical adventures together."
As has become a tradition at these Sunday afternoon concerts, the Sept. 23 event starts with coffee and commentary hosted by Bergmann at 3 p.m., followed by a 60-minute concert starting at 4 p.m.
The Concerts Cafe Classico season begins with pianist Schlosser in solo recital entitled What is Life? Of Shadows, Cradles, and the Blues.
His concert features works by composers Johannes Brahms, Nicholas Howells, and Frederic Rzewski.
"It promises to be a unique program, with the work by young aboriginal composer Howells involving audience participation to recreate the sound of a buffalo jump, Bergmann added.
"I play a foot drum that was designed specifically for this piece, done by the composer himself," Schlosser explained.
Classico scehdule
The Classico series continues on Nov. 4 at 3 p.m., with pianist Eugene Skovorodnikov and LCMS faculty member and violinist Yuri Zaidenberg presenting some of Schubert's masterworks.
LCMS is presenting Ian and Friends on Jan. 13, featuring cellist and LCMS artistic director emeritus Ian Hampton,who is joined by fellow Arioso strings colleagues Max Ngai, and Luiza Nelepcu (both on violin), and Frances Dodd on viola.
On March 10, Patricia Armstrong and Paul MacDermot will present a concert of intimate works for violin and guitar.
The spring concerts continue with cellist Ariel Barnes on April 21.
"This is a rare opportunity to hear music that is considered the most musically and technically challenging in the solo cello repertoire since Bach," Bergmann said.
The season concludes with a night cafe and jazz performance on May 3, at 7 p.m. with guitarist BJ Block, drummer Sam Cartwright, guitarist Ray Pullen, and bass player Tim Stacey.
In addition to the Classico series, LCMS also hosts the Rose Gellert Concert Hall Series next month. These evening concerts feature nationally and internationally acclaimed artists, kicking off Oct. 27
with Musica Mysterium by Cappella Artemisia, a ten-member ensemble of six female voices, two cornetti, a harpsichord, and a viola da gamba.
Ticket and season subscription information is available from the school box office at 604-534-2848, or at the school, which is located at 4899 207th St.
Also on the school's itinerary next week is a Suzuki information session.
LCMS is known for its comprehensive Suzuki music programs, and offers a full slate of group classes and private lessons in this discipline.
To learn more about the Suzuki method, interested parents are invited to an information in Saturday, Sept. 29.
Those interested can visit the school website at www. langleymusic.com, or contact the school for more details.

Electric Pink Glitter-Lips with Brown Eyes
This is a fun look that's flattering and dramatic. As with all glitter-lip looks, it is not going to be a good idea to eat a whole lot while you're wearing it.
Recommended for clubbing and cocktail parties where you'll mostly just be drinking through straws.
Step 1: Apply a soft warm brown (I used MAC Sable) to the entire lid area, and then blend the color gently along the hollow of the socket line, pulling up slightly in a wing once you reach the other corners.
Step 2: Using a brown gel liner, draw on a flick at the outer corners following the angle of the lower lash line.
Step 3: Thicken the flick from the outer tip inwards, and then connect all along the upper lash line. Don't try to draw it all in a single stroke. Do short strokes and just connect and smooth it out.
Step 4: Finish the eye look by curling your lashes and then applying a strip of wispy false lashes. If you don't want to apply falsies, just curl your lashes and apply black mascara!
P.S. Have I said before that I love the shape of the Ardell 120 Demis and Demi Wispies? The weave is irregular so they look more natural, and the shape is slightly longer and flared at the outer ends, so they give you a slight cat-like effect while being lush and girly at the same time.
Step 5: I applied a rich fuchsia to the lips (Revlon Colorburst Lipstick in Fuchsia), blotted, and then reapply. This gets a good stain on your lips so the color will be very saturated.
Step 6: With your finger or a flat synthetic brush, gently press a translucent duochrome blue glitter to the surface of the lips. Try any fine-grained glitter that reflects blue, such as MAC Reflects Blue pigment or Reflects Very Pink.
On the cheeks, just keep it soft with a light pink. You've already got a dramatic lip going, so you don't want to have your cheeks be too bright at the same time.

And finally tonight the factor tip today more deceit.
From the far left.
For seventeen long years these loans -- trying to marginalize me they fell.
And even though their attempts are extremely tedious.
They continue.
They have nothing else to do LS I -- to Bob -- about the difference in analysis.
On the subject of waterboarding.
As compared to killing people would drones a policy -- Obama embraces.
I put forth and over at NBC news and other media places they were hysterical.
Over waterboarding.
-- muted.
Over president Obama's drone attacks at least until yesterday.
Immediately the far left machine cranked up all right -- didn't say that NBC news broke the drone memo story he's -- -- -- True I didn't say NBC broke the -- story because we weren't talking about that.
Verses drone strikes.
Once again.
We have a propaganda campaign designed to make ignorant people on the left even more ignorant.

Good morning Mums, Dads, Granparents (as a lot of dedicated grandparents are looking after kids these days) I am very excited to say I am 26 weeks pregnant with twin girls! I'm over the feeling daunted process of having 2 babies at once plus a toddler... now i'm just really excited and my husband and I can't wait to meet them! We really want to choose names for the girls that we love hoping that they love their names too. When I had my son I thought that it was harder to choose a boys name but now having girls i've found it just as difficult to decide on names. I'm hoping you can give me some fresh ideas and perhaps some names that I haven't thought of, including middle names.
So far we are considering - Adele, Hannah, Jade, Emily, Ainsley
Thanks for your suggestions
I like Alice and Ella.
Or you could choose names that end the same: Millie, Chelsea, Emily, etc.
If you don't want to choose names that start with the same letter, give some consideration to making the at least about the same syllables. You don't really want a Charlottine-Rose and a Mia.
Also, if you're going to name them something to shorten, do it for both. "This is Alexandra, we call her Alex. This is Kate. We call her Kate"
This post was edited by mummagee at May 28, 2012 10:40:02 AM ESTIt's been great hearing all of your favourite names, I really like Ella, Ainsley, Adele and Hannah at the moment. Isabella is beautiful to but I have a cousin Isabelle so I can't use that one. I'm wondering how popular Adele is? I have always liked the name but I wonder if with the superstar singer Adele if it has become very popular? The name Ainsley makes my husband think of Ainsley Harriet the chef I think Ainsley sounds more feminine than masculine although I know it can also be a male name I think it's a pretty name for a girl. What do you think?

For four years, a Lone Rock family searched animal shelters and placed ads in newspapers looking for their beloved dog, Lucky.
It wasn't until Monday that the family noticed an oddly familiar pup on a Madison television station's pet segment.
The family immediately contacted the Iowa County Humane Society and were reunited with their dog.
An employee at the humane society says the reunion is shocking, but miracles happen everyday.

About two years ago, I faced up to the reality that I couldn't continue living in my pretty bungalow. I could foresee too many repairs on the horizon and not enough income to accomplish them.
Even though I have modest resources, I have strong opinions about how I want to live. When I started shopping for a condo, I made a big wish list of what I thought my perfect place might be and emailed it to my realtor. It made me feel focused and less arbitrary; still, I never expected to get everything on the list.
As we shopped, I found that the most important feature turned out to be the windows. More specifically, I was deeply affected by the amount of natural light coming into the apartment and what I could see outside the windows. I need lots of light and a room with a view. I don't need a spectacular view – just a pleasing streetscape with trees and neighbourhood activity.
If you think about it, these are two features that can't be fixed by decorating. Improved, maybe, with clever lighting and concealing drapery; but this is not a fix if you crave natural light and attractive street scenes.
In the end, the condo that I bought has a great number of features from my wish list. As they say, if you don't know what you want, you'll never get it.
When it comes to downsizing, establishing priorities is paramount. When choosing a smaller home, you are also considering differences in lifestyle and, usually, eliminating possessions. My list of priorities would be different than yours. In my experience, the process itself was revealing.
When searching the library catalogue for books, if you use a simple keyword search "downsizing", you get a list that includes many books on business downsizing. More helpful subject searches are "moving household", "older people housing", "small rooms decoration", "orderliness" and "simplicity" - depending on your goal.
Here are some books that are definitely worth exploring.
Downsizing your home with style: living well in a smaller space (2007) by Lauri Ward. The reasons for downsizing are varied: empty nesters have too much space, couples merging households, relocating from the suburbs to the inner city, pursuing a dream job in another city or a just a quest to simplify your life.
"Whatever your motivation, moving is always stressful, but downsizing is more about adapting than it is about moving," says Ward.
She provides a practical handbook for assessing the things you own for your new space. She looks at multifunctional furniture and spaces, repurposing possessions, as well as camouflage and storage. She offers design tips for decorating small spaces and housekeeping tips for maintaining them. Ward has a great blog which you will find on my list of favourites.
The best of the rest: downsizing for boomers and seniors by Doug and Judy Robinson, addresses the options available when the home you are occupying is no longer meeting your needs. They explore downsizing to a small house or condo and supported living. As well, they provide strategies to age in place and examine intergenerational households.
Lighten up: love what you have, have what you need, be happier with less (2011). I love the title of this new book by Peter Walsh that encapsulates his philosophy. "I am going to show you how to live a life of abundance on less in a way that doesn't plunge you deeper into misery and despair, and my belief is that with a changed mind-set will come a sense of calm, authentic personal identity, and… yes… happiness," he says. Quite a promise.
Walsh is a "clutter expert" who has been a regular guest on The Oprah Winfrey Show and hosts his own program on her network.
Stop Clutter from Stealing your Life: Discover why you clutter & How You Can Stop by Mike Nelson (2008)
If you are overwhelmed by the stuff of your life, check out this title.
Nelson is a reformed clutterer and zealous about it in the way that reformed people often are. But he has a sense of humor about the problem. In a chapter titled "40 Ways to Leave Your Clutter", number six on the list is
"Shoot the next person who tells you, "If you haven't seen it in six months, you don't need it." If you haven't seen it, how do you know you don't need it? By their reasoning, the lost tomb of Ramses had no value."
Nelson explores the psychological baggage of clutter and provides practical and emotional solutions.
You don't need to be coy Roy; just get yourself free.
Next week: DECORATE AND UNDECORATE, two new books from bloggers.


text: In the process of divorcing her restauranteur husband, Jake (Jeffrey Nordling), who refused to regard himself as "part of the problem," computer-service worker Lily Manning (Sela Ward) is reluctant to re-enter the dating scene as season one of Once and Again gets under way. Lily also doesn't want to injure the sensibilities of her 14-year-old daughter, Grace (Julia Whalen), who is going through a typically pubescent period of self-loathing, nor her nine-year-old daughter, Zoe (Meredith Deane), who is still holding out hope that her parents will get back together again. But Lily's attitude toward midlife romance changes when she meets successful architect Rick Sammler (Billy Campbell), himself divorced from a contentious spouse, a woman named Karen (Susanna Thompson), who blames everyone but herself for her sorry lot in life. And like Lily, Rick has a problem child, a 16-year-old son named Eli (Shane West) with a learning disability and a poor self-image (Rick's 12-year-old daughter, Jessie [Evan Rachel Wood], is reasonably well adjusted by comparison). Clearly, Lily and Rick are kindred spirits, and clearly they are going to fall in love, hoping to beat the odds against lasting happiness. Most of the first season finds Rick waiting patiently for Lily to settle her marital dispute with Jake. He also makes a valiant effort to win over Grace and Zoe, who are markedly resistant to his charms. Other stories focus on a trio of secondary characters: Jake's new girlfriend, Tiffany Porter (Ever Carradine); Rick's business partner, David Casilli (Todd Field); and Lily's sister, Judy Brooks (Marin Hinkle), who operates a wine-and-cheese bookstore. And, of course, every so often the characters express their feelings in the form of Truffautesque "confessionals," delivered directly to the camera (and, by extension, to the viewers). ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Hiiiiiiiiiyaaa~~ So first all, thanks for checking this out yo'. Anyway, enough about you and your needs. So I wanted to do a different sort of rp, no magic and crap. Like something real, but not to the point where its just plain and uninteresting. I wanted to make a story, about a boy who has a rough, terrible life. But as he grows up, things get worse and worse till he catches a break. You know, a story about growing up and accepting yourself and stuff. I'd plan to make it a sad story mostly. Like, Iunno man I've never done anything like this. This is all highly experimental for me. Let me give you like an example of the story, like maybe it'll give you an idea of what I'm going for.
The park was full of children at play. One particular boy sat alone on the swing set. New to the neighborhood, he was excited to get out and meet some new friends. His home not being far from the park, he had walk there. Now alone among all these faces. He was a rather shy kid, taught to be polite and respectful. He attempted to spark a conversation with kids passing by, but they were far to busy at play. One of the elderly woman emerged from her house with a tray full of cookies. All the children lined up to get some as this seem to be a regular happening. "Ah! I love cookies!" The boy smiled with delight as he hoped off the swing and made his way to the line. As he waited, some children shoved passed him, pushing him to the back of the line. "E..excuse me..b..but I was there.."He meekly mumbled. The children ignored him and returned to talking about some card game he wasn't familiar with. When he finally reach the front of the line he picked up his cookie, giving a big smile and a big thank you to the kind old woman. The lady smiled, and then a child spoke up "Why does he get one! He's not even from here!" "A..Actually.." The boy began "I just moved here..h..hi..nice to meet you all!" He gave a polite bow. Obviously the other children were not satisfied with this. The old woman scolded them, telling them to be nice to one another and returned to her home. After this the boy returned to his spot on the swing set. Delighted with his cookie, he began nibbling at it as he watched the other children at play. Soon the children from before approached him. 'Friends!' he thought with excitement. "Hello again!" He smiled at the group of boys. "Gimmie that cookie. The biggest looking child declared. "Ah? didya eat yours?" He snapped the cookie in half and held a piece out to him. "I don't mind sharing!" The bully swiped the cookie. "Gimmie that half to." "Hu..?..b..but thats mine.." He mumbled with a pout, even being an innocent child, anyone could tell where this was going. It didn't take long before the bully swiped the meek boys treat out of his hands. Soon enough the boy was face down on the first, the other boys ontop of him shoving him closer to the ground till it hurt the child. After feeling satisfied the left him there, crushing the cookie underneath their feet. The boy crawled up and sat on the ground. Huging his knees close to him as to hide his face, not wanting the other park children to see him cry. Tears streamed from his face quietly as he whimpered softly. He crawled over and picked up the dirty crumbs, slowly nibbling on them as he cried. The other children poke fun at the outcast. The adults didn't notice. Or, pretended not to. The boy didn't like cookies much after that day.
Sooooooo yea something along those lines. Let me know if your interested and please! Tell me if you have any ideas for me, I don't know what I'm doing ^.^!

People working in the emerging field of community enterprises will meet at the University of Newcastle this week for a workshop to discuss the trend.
Community enterprises are non-profit economic activities conducted for direct community or environmental benefit. Focusing on alternative means of sourcing food, this week's workshop will discuss the success and challenges facing community enterprises.
Associate Professor Jenny Cameron said the Fig Tree Community Garden in Newcastle was an example of a successful community enterprise.
"The garden features a number of alternative food sources, including a hot house where people can bring along plants they'd like to share, and a Chook Run where people on a roster system take care of the chickens located at the garden and share in the eggs."
International author and researcher John Pearce will participate in the workshop on Friday 29 August 2008. Workshop participants will be available for interview and photo opportunities from 1 - 2pm on Friday 29 August 2008.

Bipasha Basu: One of the fittest actresses in Bollywood, we are certain her ex-beau John Abraham's fitness mania rubbed off on her. The Bong girl is a fitness freak and has different training routines for each day of the week! Each of them focusses on specific body parts. Bips does everything in moderation. That includes yoga, stretching, dance, cardio, spinning and circuit training. Surya namaskars are her favourite and she is known to do a hundred of them every day! Looking at her bootylicious figure we are inclined to believe that she is doing it right!
Sonam Kapoor:
It's a well-known fact that the actress had adolescent weight problems. It seems like not only has she left those problems behind but seems to have a set new precedence for fitness in the industry. She follows a strict regime of Bikram yoga. She also does other things like weight training, yoga and Pilates. When she gets the time she plays squash or swims. Considering her earlier weight problems, we recommend the lassie stick to her regime strictly.
Kareena Kapoor: B-town's original size-zero girl, Bebo is back in her size zero avatar for Madhur Bhandarkar's Heroine with the help of celeb dietician Rujuta Diwekar and trainer Payal Gidwani Tiwari. Her regime includes power yoga and surya namaskars. She also does 500 kapalbhatis a day. For those not in the know, kapalbhatis are a form of breathing exercise that helps increase lung capacity, popularized by Baba Ramdev.
Bebo also stays away from crash diets and eats several small, well-planned meals throughout the day. This keeps her metabolism up and helps burn calories even at rest. Her diet is mostly vegan and consists of soups, fruits, salads, hummus and yogurt.
Shilpa Shetty: One of the first actresses to release a fitness DVD, Shilpa has always been one of the fittest yet curvaceous ladies in the industry. She is a big yoga fan, particularly the Ashtanga variety. Apart from working out, the actress does simple things like taking the stairs instead of the lift. She strictly adheres to a soup and salad diet. Other things you will find on her table include pulses, brown rice and brown bread. To maintain her flawless skin she drinks aloe vera juice and green tea.
Hope you've been inspired by these B-town gals to start a fitness regime of your own and stick to it. Film star or not, it takes dedication and perseverance to stick to your fitness goal.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Edinburgh' tag.
A couple of years ago, artist, Polymash and genius at large Chris Dooks gave me a huge leg up into exhibiting my visual efforts with a joint show at Market Gallery.
(He is not, incidentally, to be confused with equally estimable Chris Leslie. I just seem to have a tendency to work with people called Chris or Jo(h)nny. Really don't know why, but if I ever write an autobiography I might call it Chrises I have met and Johnnies I have known (although looking at that in black and white, it would probably give a lot of people the entirely wrong idea)).
Getting back to business (as quickly as humanly possible), while this hardly repays the favour, I'd like to point you to Chris' (Dooks') brilliant psychogeographical web-pilgrimage around Edinburgh based on that very Scottish subject of religion.
In fact, I order you to look at it. That's all – on you go…

Most helpful review
By Ray Miller from Free Swindon , 05 Sep 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
At the risk of your sanity DO NOT watch this film. 95 minutes of my life I will never get back. I am a Ferrell fan but this is by far the worst thing he has done. Two grown men acting as teenagers while their doting parents look on. That's it! For over one and a half very long hours. Oh yes, at the end they suddenly get sensible and successful. Gosh.....not at all predictable then.

(519)Absolute Tripe!

Crass and Vulgar
By a customer , 26 Sep 2013This represents the worst of the United States. This is a film for red necks. It is crass, vulgar, infantile, and contains a lot of hateful references. It's degrading. Avoid like the plague.- Was this review helpful to you?

painfully idiotic and immature
By Pete114 (3 reviews) , 27 Aug 2013unfortunately there isn't the option for zero stars on here but painful is a good word to start with. Idiotic, immature, stupid, silly and brainless are other words that come to mind. There is nothing realistic about any of the situations in this film and the 2 actors have done nothing to credit themselves by effectively being babies. I can't say anything about the second half of the film because it was so painful watching the first half that I ejected the disc after an hour- Was this review helpful to you?

Very funny actually if you are prepared for something light
By The KnightWatcher (629 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 10 Mar 2013Typical Will Ferrell but an original plot with two waster near 40 year old step bothers duelling with each other and eventually forming an alliance. I found it very funny for most of the film. Towards the end it lost its way a little and they did not seem to know how to end it but do not let that put you off. It is not supposed to be deep-just light hearted silly fun and it does acieve that. It is absolutely a very good watchable comedy.- Was this review helpful to you?

Typical Ferrell..
By a customer , 27 Feb 2013I'm not really a Ferrell fan.. His acting seems to consist of pulling lots of silly faces, doing silly voices and teenage boy humour.. and it's the same in every film that he's in, including this one. That's just the way he is.. you don't watch a film like this expecting high-brow, deep and intelligent humour.
I added this to my watch list because I'd heard a lot about it and seen it on lots of 'must-see' lists. I actually found it painfully unfunny.. but I suppose that's my fault for expecting something different. If you like his previous work, there is no doubt you'll love this too - completely ridiculous, juvenile and just plain silly, just as you'd expect.- Was this review helpful to you?

GTD Newb here.
I'm totally stuck on how to keep the Next Actions list coordinated with the projects. 95% of what I'm doing is project-related. Do I have a next Actions list in each project folder which I then process alongside a general "next actions" list (or are there multiple lists)? I read the book over and over again, I think I have it and then I cannot get concrete with my actual workflow. It's driving me mad.
I travel a lot too and I cannot figure out how everyone drags around all their project folders. It also really puts a pinch on the next actions "media" I can use. I find it totally clumsy to try and be on the computer all the time to put in my next actions (in the GTD Outlook Add-in from NetCentrics for example)-- it's really clunky to try and add a next action which is not an email via that add-in. Am I missing something stupid simple there?
Back to the Next Actions list... I see all the debates over moleskin vs. ring binder vs. clipboard. I really like the moleskin approach only because of its portability (I'm using cheaper Composition notebooks until I can things down) but I have a hell of a time keeping all the lists straight due to the pages filling up and then needing to add pages in places were I cannot add pages (Comp notebooks are the small bound). I'm also going a little bit crazy trying to get it straight on where to record next actions (see my first paragraph).
I think I'm overthinking all this but I just need to get jump started somehow *how* to get the system rolling.
Thanks for suggestions.

Know Your Liabilities When Buying Auto InsuranceMost people don't hesitate at all to purchase the maximum collision and comprehensive coverage available to protect their new car. However, the costs associated with fixing or replacing even the most exotic car pale in comparison to the amount of money people will shell out to pay liability claims. It's no coincidence that jury awards and settlements grow in proportion to a person's net worth. Such is the mindset of our society today: What's yours is mine if you're dumb enough to leave yourself open for me to take it. While that may seem like a harsh commentary on society, it's a game that plays itself out thousands of times each year, and the stakes run into the tens of billions of dollars. Consider this actual case: Timothy and Clara have a net worth of $1 million. In addition to a broad coverage auto insurance policy for their new Toyota Sequoia, they also have the maximum liability coverage. Coming out of turn on a rainy night their SUV swerved into an oncoming car, seriously injuring a family of five. A jury finds the couple at fault and awards each of the family members $500,000 for lifelong pain and suffering, as well as economic damages. In addition to legal fees and the cost of replacing the family's totaled vehicle, the total cost is more than $3 million. Fortunately, the father was only injured. Had he died, the jury may have determined that his $100,000 income, now lost to the family, is worth an amount equivalent to the number of working years he lost – perhaps another $3 million. While Timothy and Clara had the right kind of auto insurance with the highest liability limits, their total exposure for an accident they never envisioned happening is three times their net worth. An increasing number of people are starting to understand that their real risk exposure is not in the costs associated with repairing or replacing their car, rather it is in the far more costly liability risk. Yet, most people drastically underestimate their personal liability risks. With premium costs as low as $200 per $1 million of coverage, there is really no excuse for anyone with assets or an income to protect not to purchase a separate personal liability umbrella policy at a minimum. The more assets and/or income you have to protect, the more personal liability coverage you should have. Considering that just one accident can take away all that you have worked for, it is far and away the least expensive insurance protection you can buy. When purchasing your next auto insurance policy, don't simply set it and forget it. Carefully consider your liability exposure and create a liability protection plan that includes the maximum protection available through your auto insurance in combination with a personal liability umbrella policy (check with your insurance agent on the maximum amount of liability coverage your auto insurance needs to provide before the umbrella liability coverage will kick in).

People wondering why some might have had trouble with this presentation could read this message from Jacinta Richardson which explains things in a very personal way.
Debugging conference anti-harassment policies
Posted Feb 2, 2011 22:20 UTC (Wed) by jordanb (guest, #45668) [Link]
It drops a red herring (you can have a 'witch hunt' in the modern meaning of the word without executions). It cut-and-pastes some geekfeminism talking points to produce some faulty statistical reasoning, and then makes the argument that there's some possibility that 1) someone who is a rape survivor might be at the talk and 2) might interpet one of the PG-rated bondage-suggestion scenes as a "rape" scene and could become very uncomfortable.
The only "personal" component is that she discloses that she was a rape victim --- but she did not feel the things she suggested a rape victim may feel.
Using her argument, we have many people in our society who have been exposed to moments of great violence (and more returning from wars every day). The vast majority of those people are male. Should any remotely violent image (say, video game screenshots) be banned?
Moreover, I know people for whom *images* of spiders or cockroaches or photographs taken from great heights can induce panic and vertigo. Should we be so insensitive to allow images that have identified phobias attached to them?
With regards to her feeling "uncomfortable" at the thought of all the men in the audience viewing vaguely sexual material, apparently believing that those men (virtually all of whom, no doubt, are non-rapists) would not be able to control their sexual impulses --- I would that I find that highly offensive as a non-rapist member of the sex --- but I will refrain from doing so out of an understanding that her very unfortunate experience may have left her with some highly emotional prejudices for which I should blame her rapist and not her.
Posted Feb 2, 2011 23:26 UTC (Wed) by neilbrown (subscriber, #359) [Link]
Banning such images is probably inappropriate, but using them should certainly been seen as insensitive.
That doesn't mean that speakers should be afraid of offending the sensibilities of some unknown member of the audience, but a little caution is appropriate. Any speaker who wants to be heard needs to give careful thought about how to present - not just what to present. When a speaker does over-step a boundary, a simple polite complaint and a simple apology should be the end of it.
The real problem here isn't the original offense - it is that fact that some people don't seem to be able to accept that others can reasonably have different standards, and that a community works best when people make concessions for each other.
Posted Feb 3, 2011 0:47 UTC (Thu) by fuhchee (subscriber, #40059) [Link]
Neil, who said either of those things exactly?
Posted Feb 3, 2011 2:19 UTC (Thu) by neilbrown (subscriber, #359) [Link]
I assume you mean "you said: Other people cannot reasonably have different standard to me or a community doesn't need people to make concessions to each other"
Obviously no-one said those things explicitly. However when someone says something like "I cannot see why anyone would be bothered by that" (when people clearly were bothered) it comes very close to rejecting people with different standards. And when someone says that people who are bothered should just get over it, or walk out, or whatever, it comes very close to rejecting the need to make concessions.
Posted Feb 3, 2011 12:43 UTC (Thu) by fuhchee (subscriber, #40059) [Link]
The difference between what these people said, and what you said they said, is the qualification/specificity. No one said "there exist no other reasonable standards". They suggested that some particular standard may not be reasonable. No one said "people don't need to make concessions". They suggested only that some particular concessions should not be made.
Posted Feb 4, 2011 7:39 UTC (Fri) by shmget (subscriber, #58347) [Link]
No, she said: "I have been sexually assaulted" and since she clearly make the distinction between rape and sexual assault earlier in the post, she is cognizant of a distinction, and presumably choose her words adequately. Not that the severity of the assault really matter here, but in view of the already wide liberty taken with the numbers and the facts, there is no need to distort the picture even further.
On the other hand she qualify it with 'survivor', and associate the term with every victims of sexual assaulted, which logically imply that every victim of sexual assault was also victim of attempted murder... Since that is clearly unsupported by the references given, I must conclude that this is merely a 'appeal to emotion' fallacy, as if being victim of a rape was not grave enough.
And, talking about being offensive: "I still felt unease. Why? Because suddenly [...] at least some of the overwhelmingly male audience around me were thinking about sex."
In other words: show a picture with a content somewhat remotely sexual in nature and these 'animals' won't be able to control themselves anymore.
I wonder why would anyone make any effort to be 'inclusive' of someone who pre-judge them as a uncontrolled automaton prone to turn to a rapist at the mere view of a cartoon of a pig doing a goose ?

Huddersfield swoop for Fielden
Huddersfield Giants have signed former Great Britain prop forward Stuart Fielden following his release by Wigan Warriors.
The 33-year-old has signed a two-year contract with the Giants, where he will link up with head coach Paul Anderson, his old Bradford Bulls team-mate.
With Brian McDermott and Joe Vagana, they formed the famous "awesome foursome" front row quartet who laid the foundations for Bradford's trophy-laden years in the early days of Super League.
Fielden was widely acknowledged as the best front rower in the game when he left Bradford midway through the 2006 season.
He cost Wigan a world record transfer fee of £440,000 but was not offered a new contract after making just two appearances in the last two seasons due to knee and pectoral injuries.
"It's a very exciting day for me, the first day at my new club and I am really enthusiastic about it," Fielden said.
"I was speaking to a number of clubs and having come from a top standard club, I wanted to have something similar.
"For the last two years Huddersfield have been in the top four for two-thirds of the season so there is obviously something right going on and, with Paul Anderson's plans, hopefully we will get to the top. I firmly believe that in the next few years we will achieve that.
"I think I have a massive amount to offer as a player. I can use all my techniques and I feel I can offer a lot of experience. I have been in 15 finals and I've got 10 trophies which is something I can draw on and give insights into the big games."

The Book Thief: Summary and book reviews of The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
The Book Thief is an extraordinary, heartbreaking book. Like The Curious Incident of the Dog in The Night-Time, which was initially targeted at young adults in Britain but to adults in the USA, The Book Thief is one of those rare books that really does speak to both young and old alike.

Did Paris Roubaix last year. The same course as the pros race. So, that was 260km. We first had a dry road but after a while it start storming. The cobbles became slippy and we got our real Paris-Roubaix. The Challange is only 162km wat is that?
Joe Hall
20th December 2010 01:19pm
To make the challenge open to varying abilities the 162km distance seems logical. It still takes in all the iconic climbs and roads of the race, but gives more people the chance to finish!
Rijnen Rik
22nd December 2010 07:05pm
For me the victory is worth more when the challenge is greater.Not everybody have to be able to complete the challenge. That is only forced egalitarianism. You go to the challenge whit a certain number of people. That are the people that you support and help when they need it. At the end you celebrate the victory together. Because one thing is certain, all will suffer.
Riding the 162km is also a great challenge, but it is not the real deal.It is more as the Olympic Spirit. Participating is more important than the victory.
I think two distances are the best option. 162km and 260km.Do not misunderstand me because I really can appreciate the initiative of organizing challenges like this.
And yes the worst part is included because that is the last 50km of the ride. I hope that Arenberg is included. Do not dare to take the tarmac in Arenberg :).You also should not forget the last cobblestones in Roubaix just before the Velodrome in the middle of the road. I wish the participants good luck.
(I hope my English is not too bad ;) because it is not my mother tongue).

Fight! Fight! On the Left: An Update
Last week I brought our attention to the intramural fight on the left between the relatively moderate Clintonistas and the full-froth lefties like Sen. Fauxcahontas (Lizzie Warren).

Happy Repeal Day!
The 21st Amendment to the Constitution went into effect on December 5, 1933, which means that today is the 80th anniversary of the repeal of Prohibition.

Of course, lots of Americans didn't abstain. Prohibition is often »
Jim Kim, flim-flam man
Last month, Joe Asch noted that former Dartmouth president Jim Kim has announced a cost-cutting plan for the World Bank, the institution he now runs.

As Joe explains, these numbers reveal that Kim's cost-cutting at Dartmouth, touted as the signature »

Liberal Leninism
John wrote here on the subject of what the Obamacare shipwreck teaches us about contemporary liberalism. The obvious lesson, he said, is liberalism's failure to appreciate the complexity of the world and its confidence in the ability of technocrats sensibly to reorder the lives of millions of strangers. Picking up on this theme, I want to compare Obamacare to Hillary Clinton's 1993 quest to redo health care. Perhaps the comparison »
