Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello Marc. Thanks for submitting this interesting question. I tend to agree with your brother. Your analysis about paying an attorney to pursue a claim for more than the insurance limits makes sense. Insurance policy limits are stated in absolute dollars for the reason that you find yourself in now. The insured must select the amount of coverage and courts will enforce the contract as written. I don't know what you mean by a "state option". State law of contracts where the policy was issued applies. You haven't said how the damage occurred or if there was third party negligence involved. IMO, that would be your best chance to recoup your loss.
I hope this information is helpful and that you will enter a positive rating. I thank you for submitting your question to Pearl-Just Answer. We appreciate your business. If you need clarification or additional information, please send me a Reply and I will be happy to explain further. Please consult a local attorney to verify the accuracy of this information according to your state's laws.
The contract with broker specifies claims with them to be filed in San Diego CA. They instructed me to file with (www.stidelivers.com). Are they a third party ? Initial notification claim was filed November 12', however (STI) are unwilling to send an appraiser (2 telephoned requests) they are familiar with circumstances, are not redirecting claim yet. Instructed me of a 9mo. limit to establish estimate but I am pressured given scarcity parts and unknown costs associated with rare items. Do I have room to be more demanding with them eg. requesting full damages and labor to establish estimate and repairs, address 'Loss of Value' etc. Should I negotiate with them or their insurance carrier ?
Yes I appreciate your reply - this is quite a different situation now isn't it. Actually your third guess is probably quite correct, that something quite heavy did fall on it this was our first estimate and background chatter when communicating with STI reflects this but of course they will not disclose the scenario. The damages are consistent with this. The upper parts: Decompression, clutch, brake levers are bent or completely missing speedometer, fuel tank were crushed and the front shocks were compressed and bent, Front and rear fenders torn, etc, Evaluation by an expert is not so much of an issue, there are many I am familiar with and picture have been sent. Why is estimation such an issue then ? Well front shocks, control levers don't come up for sale very often on rare bikes especially ones that are profitable when restored to collectors, fi they do become available will the prices be reasonable I expect costly and frankly we have to deal with Italian's, more costly then some one in the states. I may have to purchase a 2nd bike to obtain the many replacement parts.
Loss of Value: As a junior collector of mid 50's Italian cars and motorcycles (we all need hobbies) I appreciate an all original and complete vehicles are more desirable and command more than a vehicle which has been restored. For example one auto I have commands 2x the insurance than recent auction values would suggest, because it is hand built yes but all original down to the paint and entirely intact.
This motorcycle was original and never involved in any major repairs or restoration so some value has been lost - how quantifiable this is I am not sure.
I obtained it cheaply but was simply fortunate after years of study and contacts. I am concerned this will negatively affect the decisions of the insurance carrier ie. claiming 'totaled' at a value less than true replacement value for the 1950 model which is at question.
For illustrative purposes I will refer you to
And the line which reads:
"Of all the many versions of the post-1950 single, a genuine Sport is the rarest, most prized - and most imitated. Collectors beware!"
and where we can see actually in the real world
And direct your attention to the right hand column and the difference in price for the 1952' Falcone vs. a 1957' Falcone.
As per your 2nd response, I interpret this as:
Deal first with the 1st party (the carrier STI) contracted with the brokerage in CA. It is reasonable to expect full coverage, additionally I should feel encouraged to obtain legal counsel (as probably more worthwhile) in this scenario if reimbursement is deemed inappropriate.
Would you agree or disagree on this assessment ?
Should I approach the broker simultaneously for the purpose of increasing the pressure on the first party to be agreeable ?
If so would you recommend a letter from a retained counsel or ease the tension with a direct letter from myself ?
To party 1 (STI) or party 2/3 (http://www.1aamotorcycles.com/), or both and what party am I here ?
As I appreciate that this is taking more of your time,
I would like to authorize and increase the payment how would I do this ?
IF you enter a positive rating with one of the smiley faces, you can add an addition payment with a bonus. I will be off line for a short time and will return in an hour or so.
I am not sure what I am supposed to do with all of the technical information you've provided. You can write it all up for the insurance company and put a value on your demand, but they will undoubtedly want confirmation from an independent. expert - either yours or theirs. Don't worry about the legal technicalities. Just back up your claimed dollar amount with people who could qualify as appraisal experts. Then if you can't come to terms on the amount, hire an attorney. Be sure that you stay within the time limits for filing that are stated in your contract and for filing suit under CA law.

The footage of an eight-year-old girl speaking of her love for jihad during a video filmed at the Muslim political group Hizb ut-Tahrir's conference in Sydney last weekend was disturbing.
HT's conference was called "Muslim's Rise – Caliphate Imminent". According to the group's website, the event focused on what the future holds in the Muslim world with "regard to the uprisings reaching their rightful outcome in the establishment of the Islamic Caliphate". HT denies involvement in the protests in Sydney but has stated the primary responsibility for what occurred lies squarely on the "powerful institutions of society" which continually attack Islam and Muslims. It put out a press release saying the major issue with events in Sydney was not violence but the anti-Islamic agenda peddled by media and politicians.
Hizb ut-Tahrir (the Party of Liberation) was established in the Palestinian territories in 1953 as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Democracy and Western foreign policy are seen as the root cause of all evil. HT maintains a public commitment to non-violent change, but the threat comes from the ideology that drives it. It encourages the separation of members from the mainstream, including the Muslim mainstream. Its membership is taught to feel disgruntled and morally superior.
HT's Australian activities, and its impressively slick website and YouTube videos, reinforce a sense of alienation among Muslim youth. Hizb ut-Tahrir seeks to create an "us and them" divide with the rest of Australia, including the vast majority of Muslims who don't subscribe to its ideology.
But banning the group could drive radicalisation underground and encourage support for even more extreme views. A ban might make it harder to track its activities.
We should, however, be looking closely at our sedition laws in the Criminal Code that make it an offence to intentionally urge the use of force or violence by one group against another on the basis of race, religion, nationality or political opinion. Terrorist offences in the code target activity that renders more likely the carrying out of a terrorist act. Some of Hizb ut-Tahrir's extremist material may contravene our anti-discrimination laws. The government website countering violent extremism launched last October, Resilient Communities, should aim to publish more counter-narratives from Islamic leaders that address violent extremism. Muslim leaders should not support people who emphasise their separateness, rather than striving for balance between identifying with their country of origin or cultural group and the Australian community.

Plot Summary
Plot: Set in the present day, "The Iron Lady" spends three days with Margaret Thatcher, now in her 80s, her world constrained by her security needs and the debilities of age. Living in a world of female caretakers, she is consoled by conversations with her husband, Denis, who has passed on but whose imagined presence provides companionship. Making yet another of the many tough decisions of her turbulent life, she decides, finally, to let go of his clothes and possessions. This destabilizing moment triggers alarm, and memories of her embattled past begin to ambush her. As Margaret is hurtled from her wartime childhood as a grocer's daughter onto the roller coaster of her political life, she considers the great personal cost her convictions have exacted on the nation, her detractors, her supporters, her family, and finally herself.

Brain: The Inside Story
November 20, 2010-August 14, 2011
This stimulating exhibition will give visitors a new perspective and insight into their own brains using imaginative art, vivid brain scan imaging, and thrilling interactive exhibits that will engage the whole family. Brain: The Inside Story features the latest cutting-edge research from the treating of diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's to the recent studies of more intangible elements like the mapping of our emotional responses.
In this exhibition, explore how the brain-a product of millions of years of evolution-produces thoughts, senses, and feelings; experience how the brain is continually changing at different stages of life; and discover how new understanding of the workings of the brain may help scientists repair and reverse declines in brain function.
Brain: The Inside Story begins with a walk-through installation by Spanish artist Daniel Canogar that evokes the tangled forest of 100 billion communicating brain cells in a breathtaking representation of firing neurons. Visitors continue on to explore their senses, emotions, thoughts, and memory through a series of videos, interactive installations, and exhibits. Visitors will learn how the nervous system processes information from the senses and how the brain creates perception, how brain imaging and advances in biochemistry are deepening the understanding of the emotional brain, and how the highly developed neocortex allows humans to make plans and predictions as well as engage in symbolic thought. Visitors will also learn how the brain's plasticity allows changes at different stages of life and how 21st century science can repair and improve the brain.
Throughout the exhibition, challenge your brain with interactive puzzles and games that probe neural connections and pathways. Gallery 3, third floor

These traditional scroll paintings are believed to be among only a handful in existence that illustrate medical knowledge and procedures, providing a unique and rich history of medicine in Tibet. Subjects include causes, diagnostic techniques, and treatments of illness as well as human anatomy. The nearly 8,000 extraordinarily detailed images, painted in vegetable and mineral dyes on canvas, were painstakingly reproduced by hand in the 1990s by Romio Shrestha, a Nepalese artist, and his students. The originals-whose fate is unknown-were commissioned by the Great Fifth Dalai Lama and created between 1687 and 1703. Audubon Gallery, fourth floor
The Museum is deeply grateful to Emily H. Fisher and John Alexander, whose vision and generosity supported the acquisition and conservation of this collection of Tibetan Medical Paintings.
Body and Spirit is made possible by a very generous gift from the Estate of Marian O. Naumburg.

Deal signed an executive order freezing the gas tax at current levels, saving motorists nearly one cent from the next six months. Deal signed the order Friday.
The state gas tax had been set to rise .8 cents on July 1, as a result of a formula tied to fuel prices.
Deal said the state's economy has slowly improved with growing revenue and the unemployment rate decreasing. Deal says taxpayers in the state should not have to take on the "burden" of a gas tax right now.
"Georgians are still paying gas prices that are high by historical standards," Deal said in the new release. "The state should not add to that burden at this juncture."
Every six months, the Department of Revenue analyzes the previous half year's gas price and adjusts the state tax either up or down.
The current tax rate will stay the same through the end of the year with one exception. If the price of gas goes up or down by more than 25 percent within that six-month period, state and local gas taxes automatically are recalculated to reflect the new price.
Alan Essig, executive director of the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute, believes Deal's decision was not a wise move. He told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the move does not make "budgetary or economic sense."
"Having that kind of cut to transportation funding seems problematic," said Essig, a former state tax analyst. "The idea that consumers are going to see the positive impact is questionable."

Hello everyone, new here.... Colt single action army
Can anyone tell me what I could expect to pay for a Colt single action army?
Welcome to the forum!
Answer: Anywhere from $200 or so for a used Italian clone to
$862,500. (sn 1, auctioned in 2010). You might want to narrow
the scope of you question just a smidge.:)
Frame- Single action army
I don't know how to be more clear.
Colt has made the model P (Single Action Army) from 1873 to 2012 (with
a break or 2). There have been many models, series and calibers within
that 139 years. Since you want a genuine Colt, but have not specified
series, caliber or condition, you have narrowed the price range to $500 or so for a beater to $862,500.
Current Colt retail MSRP price list here, scroll down a bit, it's a .pdf.
Why do you want it? For collector's investment? Or for a shooter?
Used SAAs are very hard to find, them that's got 'em, keep 'em. New expect to pay $1200 or so.
Next best bet, Ruger blackhawk or Super Blackhawk. If it must be correct Colt Style, then an Italian clone.
Bob Wright
You might want to look at a Cattleman 1873 HOMBRE. It is a clone but a lot of people shoot them in Cowboy Action Shooting. I just purchased one 2 weeks ago and so far I love it! My other SA revolvers are 5.5 to 6 inch barrels so I got the Cattleman in 4.5 inch. Just filed down the front site a bit and now it shoots very accurate. Comes in .45 LC or .357 Mag.
Paid $399.00 new for mine. Have not seen any used, but I'm sure they are out there. Sorry, not familiar with the American Heritage Company. Look on this forum for remarks about Taurus, most not too good. Do not own any so can not really give an opinion.
If you want a shooter the New Ruger Flat Top with the .357 frame in .45 Combo is great. It has the old XR-3 grip frame and the warning in on the bottom of the barrel. These new Rugers have a very close .451 chamber throat. Ruger uses a new chambering process that improves these six guns. All Rugers with the new chambers have the warning on the bottom of barrel.:)

Another Great Carnival Cruise!: Carnival Dream Cruise Review by GeorgiaBlue
Overall Member Rating
Another Great Carnival Cruise!
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
We drove to the port on Friday, May 21st and spent the night at the Radisson. Roll call group met at Fishlips for dinner. We were going to take the hotel shuttle to the ship but we wanted to get there a little earlier so we called a cab. John with Checkered Cab took us to the ship for $10.00 and we ended up having lunch on the Lido deck before our hotel shuttle was scheduled to pick us up.
Embarkation was no problem. We breezed through, no lines. We did have to wait for a few minutes in the holding area before boarding. We chatted with a nice family from Texas and the time flew by. Carnival started boarding earlier than scheduled and we were on our new home for the week with no problems.
The ship More is beautiful. I wanted something bright, cheerful and happy for vacation and Carnival delivers. We went straight to the Lido deck for lunch and found no lines and several options. I chose the Pasta bar and it was great. A couple of minutes wait for my food but it was fresh and hot. Girls and husband hit the buffet line and everything was delicious. We had plenty of time to explore the ship before our room was ready at 1:30.
All of the Carnival staff was great. Francisco, our room steward, did a great job. Everyone we encountered was polite and helpful. We had one small maintenance issue the first day but it was taken care of quickly. Spa staff was helpful and unobtrusive. Our waiters in the Scarlett dining room (Rasmini and Michael) were awesome!! Wonderful attitudes, so helpful and concerned if everything was the way we wanted it. We couldn't have had better staff taking care of us. Maitre'd (Drakko) was very visible in the dining room. He came by our table several times and went out of his way to take handle a special request. Great service!!
There were plenty of activities on board. My family was always going to or from something. I am more of a vegetable on vacation so if we weren't off the ship, I was in the spa or on a deck chair. There were chair hogs but I never had a problem finding a chair. I don't always have to be right by the pool so maybe that helped. It seemed there were always chairs on deck 5. Serenity deck was always in use and was a great spot.
We didn't schedule anything in Nassau. Our 3rd time there so we just browsed a few shops. St. Thomas and St. Maartin were wonderful. First time visiting both islands and very beautiful. We did tours on both islands. We were with Burlie on St. Thomas and she was great. Very informative and patient with our group that ranged in age from 10 to 73. We booked with Bernard's Tours on St. Maartin and had John for our guide. He was wonderful. Our group was a little varied in what we wanted to see and do but he made everyone happy and really gave us a great tour of his island. Awesome rum punch on both tours!!
I am a lemons to lemonade kind of person but to be honest, there was a bad sewage smell on the ship. It was very noticeable in several places. It was horrible at the top of the waterslides. We were on the Empress deck and we smelled it everyday. It didn't ruin our trip by any means but it does exist. Several people we met commented on it, agreed that Carnival needed to do something about it but also agreed that it didn't ruin the trip. We did see some very rude people on board but it was their choice to be rude and my choice to ignore them. I was on vacation and having a great time, not looking for things to complain about.
Lido buffet lines do get long but with 4100 people on board, what can you expect? Be patient and polite and it won't be that bad. Food is plentiful, staff is efficient and friendly.
We saw several shows. All were good but Dancing in the Streets was truly worth the wait to see it. Get there early to get a seat.
Disembarkation was easy. We did the self disembark option and were off the ship and through customs by 7:15. A quick call to John with Checkered Cab and we were on our way back to the Radisson to get out car and go home.
Overall, it was a spectacular vacation. Beautiful weather, friendly people and wonderful staff on board. Less

John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner
John Frieda Sheer Blonde Go Blonder Lightening Conditioner Reviews
Brightens Hair Color QuicklyI use this conditioner one day every week like a masque just to bring out my hair's highlights. I leave it in for a few minutes and put my hair up in a bun. After rinsing, hair is much smoother and the color is noticably brighter. Adding it to my routine seems to be warding off dullness. I have a friend who uses it on her dark blonde hair and it has really added dimension to her hair as well. This is a great product that comes in a small travel size for those who want to sample it. — 4 years, 2 months agomoriarty.kt | 213 reviews
Love his products!Tried all shampoos and John's are the best. Use his brunette and blonde and loved them! Now highly highlighted so having trouble selected one of his products. Hair dressers ignore him because they don't make money off of his product. Thinking I will go back to him now....his hair products are the best. — 2 years, 2 months agoSparkleBella15 | 6 reviews
yes pleaseI recently got some blonde highlights. If I'm being at all honest, my hair is naturally blonde (thats a lie)...I don't think anyone knows what my natural hair color is, so I am always on the hunt for good (inexpensive) color care shampoo/conditioner. After reading a few reviews, and watching a few scary YouTube videos. I decided to take the plunge and try the shampoo and conditioner out. 1.The ...read moreSmell-Super important, for obvious reasons. The smell is fantastic. It smells like lemons and is very refreshing for these hot summer months. Although, with my favorite hairspray(here) which smells like strawberries, my head probably smells like fruit salad. 2. What it does for your hair-Some people have said that this particular shampoo/conditioner is really drying, but I found the exact opposite. My hair is a lot softer and it's been easier for me to style. 3. Does it work? I have been using it almost daily for about 2 weeks, and although it's not a huge difference, there is a slight brightening in the blonde highlights. I think this would probably work best for someone who already has pretty light blonde hair and maybe just wanted to lighten up a little bit. I would give this product a big thumbs up. Not only is it affordable, it works well. You can purchase the shampoo or conditioner any number of places, it's a drugstore brand with salon quality results. — 3 years, 10 months agoDanielleTherese | 46 reviews

WATER leaks in Stourbridge will be easier to detect and repair after Severn Trent Water invested around £60,000 in new meters.
The meters in Ham Lane and Wollaston Road were installed recently to help the water company find and fix leaks as quickly as possible.
Stephen Bramley of Severn Trent, explained: "As we look after 46,000km of water pipes, it can be a bit of an ongoing battle to pinpoint exactly where any leaks may be. But by investing around £60,000 in these meters, we should be able to find them much more quickly and easily.
"As the new meters are not under the road, we should also be able to maintain them in the future without digging it up, which is great news for our customers."

Southern Illinois University Edwardsville hosted a record 36 teams during the Botball Workshop in the Morris University Center (MUC) Conference Center during the weekend.
The teams are preparing for the seventh annual Greater St. Louis Botball Tournament to be held April 20 in the MUC's Meridian Ballroom. The workshop was an opportunity for the teams to discuss the rules of this year's tournament, and to learn tips on programming their robots to achieve goals.
Gary Mayer, Ph.D., an assistant professor of computer science in the SIUE School of Education and one of the event organizers, was encouraged by the record participation. "Getting young people engaged in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) activities such as the Botball program is important, because it helps develop critical thinking skills that can be applied to any career field," Mayer said. "Botball puts the focus on the student as the students need to devise solutions and implement them through the building of the robots and programming the robot's behaviors.
Saturday's program revolved around teaching the basics of programming and the use of sensors by the teams. The Sunday session was more of a free-form play day as teams experimented with their robots' capabilities.
The theme of this year's tournament is the Mars Sample Return Mission (MSR). The students are building autonomous robots that will travel around the board game with four goals:
- Retrieve samples cached by the Mars Science Laboratory, Curiosity
- Gather, sort, and separate unusual and interesting samples detected from orbit
- Load the samples into return containers
- Assemble the return vehicle (rocket) and prep it for launch
Mayer described the tasks in the tournament challenge as never having a single solution. The teams receive a kit with hundreds of parts such as sensors, motors and structural pieces. Students are free to be as inventive with the kit components as possible. The result is a fleet of unique robots that allow the students to see the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, especially in head-to-head competition.
"While the Botball Education Robotics Program is a great tool for STEM education, it is also a lot of fun for the students," Mayer said. "It's an outlet for creative minds, an opportunity to meet others with similar interests in science and engineering, and a way for the community to get involved with the students' successes. The students get a task, a robot kit and about eight weeks of time. With those resources, they build an autonomous robot that they take great pride in."
Edwardsville High School is the defending champion.

Tulum, Mexico – A Caribbean paradise
The Bikini Bootcamp headquarters are located on a pristine beach in Tulum, Mexco – approximately 2 hrs south of Cancun. Famous for the spectacular Mayan ruins, clear turquois water and white sandy beaches, it is a relatively undiscovered eco-friendly paradise.
"In Tulum, luxury and earthiness coexist, but the coin of the realm is spirituality." Travel + Leisure 2012
Sunbathers and swimmers indulging in a visit to Tulum Beach's white, limestone sands and crystal blue waters need only look up in wonder at the ancient Mayan ruins — some from as early as A.D. 250 — dotting the cliffs above them to grasp the aura of ancient mystery that surrounds the beach.
The name Tulum, derived from the Mayan word for wall, and the ruins hovering over the beach, most notably the giant pyramid-shaped Castillo, have gained notoriety as 1 of the Mayan civilization's only walled cities. In its heyday, Tulum served as a port of call for mariners and traders, and its walls defined the ancient town's defense against invaders from sea and land.
Cenotes – hidden oasis in the Jungle
Tulum is also famous for its cenotes; Mother Nature's own crystalline fresh water pools which are immersed in history and Maya ritual. These cenotes are actually windows to the vast underground rivers that flow beneath the ground through submerged caves. The cenotes have provided freshwater to the land inhabitants for millennia. In the Tulum area the best cenotes are located south of the Tulum Pueblo and along the road to the Mayan ruins of Coba – both of which are Bikini Bootcamp excursions.
Tulum Ruins – The Walled City
Tulum's greatest attraction is its location. It stands on a bluff facing the rising sun looking out on views of the Caribbean that are nothing less than spectacular. In Maya, Tulum means "Wall", and the city was christened thus because it is a walled city; one of the very few the ancients ever built. Research suggests it was formerly called Zama or "to dawn" in its day, which is appropriate given the location. It seems "Tulum" is the name given the site following a visit by the explorers Stephens and Catherwood in 1841, just before the beginning of the Caste War in 1847, long after the city was abandon and fell to ruins. They ordered trees cleared and Catherwood made illustrations of temples, later to be published in their famous book "Incidents of Travel in Yucatan". Juan José Gálvez is actually credited with Tulum's rediscovery in 1840.
Tulum Pueblo – don't miss it
Tulum Pueblo sits split by highway 307 running South-North. "El Pueblo", as referred to by locals, is home to most workers of the tourist industry and where many of the stores, supermarkets, two bus stations, inns, hostels and small hotels are found. This section of town has a definite feel of existing mostly to cater to the Tulum ruins. Tulum pueblo is indeed a destination for shopping, great restaurants, a modest night life, studying the language at Instituto Chac-Mool Spanish School, booking tours, banking, shopping for food, local vegetables, fruits, cafes, and local flavor. Do not miss it.
Getting there
Most major airlines, including Jet Blue, American, and Virgin America, fly direct to Cancún, Mexico.
Try kayak.com for a good comparison of flight costs and schedules.
"Who would have thought that sleeping in a cabana on the beach and eating fresh grilled fish, ceviche and fruit smoothies would be more rewarding and memorable than a stay at The Four Seasons."

Traces over three generations an immigrant family's trials, tribulations, tragedies, and triumphs.
Young Paco leaves his small Mexican village in 1920 to find his last living relative. All he knows is that the man lives in a small town up the coast called Los Angeles. So begins a richly textured saga of the troubled Sanchez family recalled in flashback through three snapshots: the 20s, 50s and 80s.
Paco marries a local girl and they start a family. But when shes pregnant with their third child, shes rounded up by ethnic cleansing immigration officials and carted unceremoniously back to Mexico. She manages to return, but as the years pass, the trauma doesnt let up for a second. One of their sons (Morales) murders a hoodlum and is shot in front of his young brother; a daughter becomes a nun and then marries a priest; while another son (NYPD Blues Smits) grows up a broken man after a spell in the slammer. Meanwhile, poor old Paco, who probably wishes hed stayed put and grown old harvesting chillies, presides over his accident prone dynasty like a down-market Blake Carrington coping valiantly with each crisis-ridden turn.
The action leaps haphazardly from one skilfully woven piece to another, each handled with a refreshing gusto, but the frenetic pace leaves scant time to take stock and reflect on what the film might be preaching. That said, some of the visions are staggeringly powerful: a young woman washed down a raging torrent with her baby; another dying in childbirth; a flick knife fight on a dance floor; and the family watching I Love Lucy while their son is hunted down and killed by the cops.
A likeable, thoroughly engrossing film then, but with such ambitious pretensions, the bare bones of the script could have done with a little more meat.
Lackluster, but likable family epic.

I've heard it is/isn't worth it. Should I spend my time training those skills (T1/T2 learning skills) to V?
Silas Sanyasi [ Moderator ]
If you use EVEMon you will get suggestions on when your training time will benefit from training learning skills first. When EVEMon suggests you train learning skills the reason is that the total training time with the current skill plan is shorter including the proposed learning skills.
Most older players will agree that it is a good idea to train your basic learning skills to 5 and the advanced ones to 4. Going all level 5 will take a very long time to pay of.
Consider what you are going to train before training learning skills. There's no point in increasing your charisma if you're not going to train leadership or trading skill for example.
I have done a great deal of number crunching on this and concur with CanHas that 5 and 4 is the way to go although often Charisma will be level 4 and 3 unless you have a good reason otherwise.
A level 5 on a rank 3 takes an astonishing 350-400 days to get back the time spent (that's while training skills with that attribute as primary!) so only for the long haul – although I did train it on Clarity for the all important Perception :–)
Check the link for more numbers and facts on that and skills in general: http://www.eve-links.com/the-tao-of-skills-%e2%80%93-the-te-of-training/
Also keep in mind that most of the time you don't plan skills for the next 3 years… still if you were to do so, evemon would most likely suggest you to take some of the higher levels of learning skills.
Planning "short" won't trigger those suggestions obviously, cause you don't spend enough time to make it worth.
but if you only make 3 months skillplans, then after 3 or 4 of those, you could have gained a bit with some investment in a high learning skill.
Don't know if I make sense somehow…

Before I bought this guitar I looked into several different Baritone guitars. While they are not as available as a standard guitar quite a few manufactures make them. However some companies such as Epiphone and Gibson start and stop manufacture and at the moment neither of these two companies make them. As I researched I found that most not all but most Baritone guitars on the market today are geared solely for metal, while I love metal I wanted something which gave me more variety. As far as I'm concerned I found it with the Viking baritone. I play a variety of music from Slayer, Metallica, The Sword, Zeppelin, Sabbath, Clapton through to classical arrangements for guitar. While not many of these particular artists play anything close to standard B some of there songs sound great in it. The Sword (which play in standard C) sounds great in standard B and songs like "Sad But True" sound awesome. However yes some songs do not sound great B ramble on by Zeppelin is one such song. Another thing you can do is grab a capo and place it on the first fret now the guitar from there on is in standard C tuning move the capo up again and you have standard C# tuning and so on. While this is not perfect it's a handy and very easy to be able to practice different songs in different tuning all on the one guitar. As for the sound of the guitar itself acoustically it's pretty good has a beautiful low end sound to it. Plugged in you can get just about any sound you want out of it. I have several amps but primarily use a Roland Cube 15XL and have not been disappointed by the sound of this guitar yet. The one complaint I have is that acoustically it is a little whizzy while this is just a small problem and not there at all while plugged it I believe it is worth mentioning.
Overall Impression — 9
In the end I love this guitar it suits what I use it for perfectly and I love the deep sounds you can get out of it. If it was stolen or befell a serious accident I would purchase another one to replace it. I do however wish it came with a case. I live in Australia and it is notoriously hard to find anything Hagstrom here and to import the case it fits in will be rather costly but hey nothings perfect. As for anyone looking for a Baritone all I can say is do your homework look around and don't just get the first one you see because it looks cool there are plenty out there you just have to look a bit harder than normal. For me personally though the Hagstrom Viking Baritone fits my needs perfectly and I would recommend anyone looking at purchasing a Baritone to take a look at it.
Reliability & Durability — 9
Look despite the initial few problems I had, this guitar is awesome. It's built solid and looks great the chrome hardware on the tobacco sunburst finish I believe always gives a great look to a hollow body electric. I can see this guitar lasting for decades before I would run into any serious problems with it and I strongly believe it would last very well with someone using it to gig with. As for the strap buttons they are extremely solid but I would still invest in strap locks. The finish also appears to be of high quality and after months of playing mine it has not a single blemish.
Action, Fit & Finish — 7
The guitar came with a quality control tester card with all the usual things you would expect on it all with a nice tick in the little boxes. However I was skeptical and plugged it in and started testing the intonation and as I expected it was way out. This is nothing unusual I've never seen a guitar out of the box from any manufacturer set up perfectly Gibson ESP Fender none of them get it 100%. While starting to set things up I noticed a rather extreme bow in the neck pushing the middle frets up and the frets at either end of the neck down. This was easily fixed with a few turns of the truss rod and is something else that can be forgiven seeing as I have no idea of what level of humidity it was exposed to before I received it. While still trying to set it up I noticed the final problem I found with this guitar. The frets were not level. While the fret work looks pristine which I have to say it is in every aspect other than actually being level. This was very disappointing and was beyond my skill level to fix. After my luthier friend leveled the frets everything was perfect. The guitar setup like a dream and staying in tune better than just about any guitar I've used. The quality of the build of the guitar is perfect and I cannot fault the construction the wiring or the hardware used... Except for the nut and the volume and tone controls while not being terrible they are not as high quality as the rest of the guitar. The finish on the guitar is immaculate however and the creme binding is flawless. However I am still unhappy about the fret leveling issue and believe it is not an issue that should have made it past quality control.

I purchased my Hagstrom Viking Baritone in March 2013 I can only assume it was either made early this year or in 2012, and it was made in China. The Viking Baritone comes tuned to standard B which is the normal tuning for this particular guitar. This is achieved by having a longer scale than normal guitars and by using much thicker strings. Yes while it is possible to tune a normal guitar from standard E down to standard B tuning it takes quite a bit of work however and depending on the quality of the guitar you may never get it hold quite right. Having a Baritone the just waiting for you is convenient and was great excuse to justify buying another guitar to my wife. The Viking Baritone has 28inch scale set neck, has 22 jumbo (I believe) frets, the neck it rather thick being a Baritone guitar but it is surprisingly comfortable to play the fretboard itself is made from Hagstroms own resonator "wood" which is a composite material which represents ebony. However DO NOT try and clean it with a weak alcohol solution or normal fretboard cleaner or it will strip the colour out of. The guitar itself is made from semi hollowed contoured ply flamed maple the neck is Canadian hard maple and has block pearl inlays down the neck. This is all finished I a beautiful high gloss. The strings it comes with are light Baritone string which I have decided to stay with they are .013, .017, .026, .036, .046 and .062. The guitar itself is a double cut away semi hollowed body electric however it is somewhat larger in the body very similar the bass model. Mine is the tobacco sunburst finish and has all chrome hardware and Hagstroms own brand of machine heads. The bridge is a fixed long travel tunomatic bridge with stop tail piece. It comes with two pick ups a Hagstrom custom 58c humbucker in the bridge position and P-urified P90 humbucker in the neck each with a volume and tone and a 3 way selector. This guitar came with no accessories.

Make Up My Mind For Me: Cut, Grow Or Bangs?
I'm currently in the midst of a crippling case of haircut indecision. After three years of ever-changing, very short hair, I've finally let the stuff grow out to a reasonable length and now I'm bored all over again. Worse than that, I can't even decide if I like it longer. I'm definitely not ready to go really short again, but perhaps a nice bob? Maybe some blunt bangs? Possibly I should just let it grow and grow 'til it sweeps the ground?
Clearly, I am ill-equipped to make this decision myself. So what better to do than turn my total inability to make up my mind into a poll for you? Vote on my next hair style below. Please use the pic at left of me last week as a reference point instead of just voting on your favorite hair style option in general. Just because you love bangs doesn't mean I'd look good in them.
This hair cut is going down over the weekend, so vote right away, please!Option 1: Calm the hell down and let it grow. You can always cut it later, spaz.
Option 2: Let's get some razored long bob action going on up in this joint. (Like this but minus the bangs.)
Option 3: Trim the edges and add some blunt bangs like so.

Temperatures are rising across the country and many cities are feeling the heat of 100 degrees or more. With the addition of humidity, some areas will begin to experience extreme heat. During extreme heat, it is important to stay cool.
Extreme heat causes more deaths than hurricanes, tornados, floods and earthquakes combined. Heat related illnesses occur when the body is not able to compensate and properly cool itself. The great news is extreme heat is preventable by following a few tips:
- Listen to local weather forecasts and stay aware of upcoming temperatures.
- Do not leave children or pets in the car unattended at any time.
- Stay indoors as much as possible and limit exposure to the sun.
- Stay on the lowest floor out of the sunshine if air conditioning is not available.
- Postpone outdoor games and activities.
- Weather strip doors and windows to keep cool air in.
- Cover windows that receive morning or afternoon sunshine with drapes, shades or awnings.
- Drink plenty of water, even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine. Persons who have epilepsy or heart, kidney, or liver disease; are on fluid-restricted diets; or have a problem with fluid retention should consult a doctor before increasing liquid intake.
- Stay indoors. If you do not have air conditioning, visit a cooling station such as your local library or shopping mall.
- Wear light weight and light colored clothing with sunscreen to reduce exposure to the sun.
- Pace yourself in your outside activities. Reschedule if needed.
- Check on family, friends, and neighbors who do not have air conditioning and who spend much of their time alone.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes.

QueryParser uses the given Analyzer when constructing they query, so it will never hit a NOT_ANALYZED term. In general, it is a bad idea to use QueryParser on fields that are not analyzed. There are two possibilities to solve the problem: - Instantiate the query to match the not-analyzed (but indexed field) directly as a TermQuery. - Use a PerFieldAnalyzerWrapper and choose a specific analyzer for this field that does not touch your names (e.g. KeywordAnalyzer). Use this wrapped analyzer for the both searching an indexing (and use Field.Index.ANALYZED!).

Mr. Lux knew he should pray, but somehow the pains made prayer impossible. He thought, I am twenty-four years old. I am going to die with my body crushed to liquid and my head neatly garroted off by a thin layer of woven fabric that weighs less than eight ounces. He sensed his mouth moving as if to laugh at the thought, but the laugh was frozen in his immobile torso. Can't laugh. Can't breath. I guess I can't call for help either. But he could still move his head, which he now did, deliberately, casting his eyes around the sparse cell, nine feet wide by twelve feet long, that had been his home for the last three years.Link
The ancient whitewashed fieldstone walls did not lend themselves to decoration. Centered on one wall, above him and to his left, there was a simple noosifix precariously hanging from an irregularity in a rock. On the opposite wall, to his right, hanging from a nail driven in to a chink in the cement, there was a kitschy airbrushed painting of a thatched cottage surrounded by flowers and with a pair of bluebirds sitting at the apex of the roof. In the short wall beyond his feet there was a narrow casement window with diamond-shaped leaded-glass panes through which he could see blurry hints of trees green with tiny leaves of early spring. Below the window were a desk and chair. On the desk: a Holy Tibble; a Fredian missal; copies of Byte, Datamation and Electrical Engineering Times; a textbook on nonlinear circuits, and one Alfred the Drinking Duck perpetual motion toy.

LIVERMORE, Calif. -- America needs a clear set of priorities to evaluate and thwart potential threats to the United States cyber domain, according to a report by Georgetown's Institute for Law, Science and Global Security in conjunction with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The report, titled "Reboot: Defining Paths to Cyber Policy, Law and Technology Solutions," aims to establish a roadmap to expand research and amplify the national dialogue on cybersecurity issues.
"The Reboot report adds a fresh perspective to the debate over how best to secure cyberspace, addressing the emerging challenges related to policy, technology and law," said Catherine Lotrionte, associate director of the Institute for Law, Science and Global Security.
"Georgetown looks forward to working with our partners in government, industry and the national labs to achieve the goals set out in this report.
Through such relationships the goal is to stimulate open, public analysis and discussion of cyber strategy." Lotrionte is also a visiting professor of foreign service and government at Georgetown University.
The report recommends establishing appropriate roles and responsibilities for dealing with issues on national and local levels, and ensuring that current Internet users, as well as future generations, act responsibly to protect themselves and others from cyber attacks.
As numerous studies, reports and public discussions have articulated over the past several years, there is an increasing awareness and recognition that given the relative "lawless" nature of cyberspace, governments must step up to the challenge of more closely partnering with the private sector, which essentially owns the network.
This past March, Georgetown and Lawrence Livermore hosted a workshop to debate these issues and collaborate in developing innovative solutions to current and future challenges in cyberspace. The workshop capitalized on the talent and experience of participants in the areas of policy, law, technology and private industry.
"Our Reboot report is a key milestone for our overall cyber research activity at Lawrence Livermore," said Wes Spain, program director and focus area leader for Livermore's research efforts in cybersecurity.
"In the cybersecurity domain, the policy, legal and technical issues are so inextricably linked that it is absolutely essential that decision making -- particularly at the national level -- is fully informed by synthesized input from the three. Our partnership with Georgetown's expertise in policy and law enables our research to have a much more meaningful impact nationally."
Georgetown University is the oldest and largest Catholic and Jesuit university in America, founded in 1789 by Archbishop John Carroll. Georgetown is a major student-centered, international, research university offering respected undergraduate, graduate and professional programs in Washington, D.C., Doha, Qatar and around the world.
Founded in 1952, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is a national security laboratory that develops science and engineering technology and provides innovative solutions to our nation's most important challenges. Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration.

The ex-girlfriend of a former Tucson police officer suspected of distributing child pornography previously reported him to the Sheriff's Department after catching him in an online chatroom where people were talking about having sexual relations with a child, according to search warrant documents.
When former Officer Martin Ward, 29, was asked about the incident he told authorities he was trying to "set up" the woman and said he had no interest in children, the warrant said.
The warrant documents filed in court do not say when the ex-girlfriend reported Ward to the Pima County Sheriff's Department or give any other details of that incident.
In March, detectives investigating the sharing and distribution of child pornography online in the Tucson area traced a file to a Tucson computer Internet address belonging to Ward.
Police searched Ward's home in the 9200 block of East Palm Tree Drive last Thursday and seized hard drives, thumb drives, CDs, cellphones, computer towers, a laptop and other electronics and said they found several child- pornography videos.
An arrest warrant was issued for Ward, who is facing one count of sexual exploitation of a minor. He was arrested by U.S. marshals Friday night in Prescott.
Ward worked as an officer for the Tucson Police Department starting in 2007 but resigned in early 2013 after an internal investigation in December concluded that the department intended to fire him.
Among the investigation's findings were that Ward was tardy for briefings; he knowingly consumed prescription medication with alcohol, which "clearly had adverse effects on his memory, judgment and decision-making"; he disobeyed direct orders; he lied about being married and forged documents in order to receive Family and Medical Leave benefits; he engaged in criminal conduct; and he engaged in conduct that was unbecoming and detrimental to his duties.
The investigation also showed that under an order of protection served to Ward he was prohibited from carrying a firearm. Off-duty officers are expected to carry their firearms, "except when engaged in sports or activities that would make it impractical or socially unacceptable, or when outside the City of Tucson."
Court records show Ward was arrested and taken to jail in September 2012 on an assault charge. Details of this incident were not available.
Ward's ex-girlfriend sought an order of protection against him in July 2012 saying that he was abusing prescription drugs and alcohol, and made threats toward her, according to court documents.
In July 2012, Ward told the woman "I'm a lost cause," and "I'm going to drive off a cliff," she wrote in the order of protection petition.
The day Ward was served with the protection order, his ex-girlfriend called the Sheriff's Department because when she arrived home all the lights were on, the back gate was open, and the front door was unlocked and she was afraid to go into the home, according to a case report.
A deputy went into the house and did not find anybody inside.
The woman called deputies again after she found that all of her clothes were missing, and she suspected Ward of taking them, the report said.
During a TPD internal investigation of Ward, it was learned that Ward, who originally lied about the clothes to investigators, admitted that he took the woman's clothes and put them in a Goodwill collection bin.

The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and large,secure lockers. The staff are very helpful and are often seen sharing jokes with the guests. Best of all is the location; it's located right in the heart of Istanbul, and it's only a short walk from Taksim square where the buses arrive. It's a vibrant area; full of shops, quirky little cafes, bars and restaurants. You can walk to most tourist sites or take the buses/metro at taksim. Great value.

Great location just a short walk away from the bus and train station and around five minutes to the centre by foot. Staff are friendly and extremely helpful. The dorm itself has comfy beds, large lockers to store your bags and each bed has a reading light. There are also individual curtains for each bed which is a very nice touch and is an unique feature of shanti hostels. With the inclusion of air con and a shower with a built in radio, it's a bit of a bargain at 8 euro a night. Recommended!

The heir to the British throne and his wife Camilla were on their way to Royal Variety Performance when the ambush took place and refused to let the attack keep them from the show.
Kylie Minogue, Cheryl Cole and Take That took to the stage at the U.K.'s Royal Variety Performance on Thursday night, December 9 to entertain Prince Charles, shortly after his car was attacked by protesters. The heir-to-the-British throne and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, were being chauffeured to the Palladium Theatre in London to attend the annual event when unruly student demonstrators ambushed their vehicle during a violent protest against a rise in university tuition fees.
The couple was unharmed in the incident, which saw their car pelted with eggs and paint and kicked by protesters, but they were left visibly shocked by the onslaught. The royals refused to let the attack keep them from the show and they carried out their duties by greeting the night's performers, including Minogue and recently reformed five-piece Take That, who sang two songs at the event.
During the glitzy bash Girls Aloud star Cole performed her new solo track "The Flood", while British hip-hop trio N-Dubz made their Royal Variety debut. Tenor Russell Watson sang a rendition of "Parla Piu Piano", best known as the love theme from "The Godfather", while former Kinks frontman Ray Davies also performed.

He fronts one of the world's most successful bands, but Coldplay singer Chris Martin says that it's fatherhood that has given his music "a purpose."
"It's made it more focused," Chris, who has kids Apple, 7, and Moses, 5, with Gwyneth Paltrow, tells CBS Sunday Morning of being a dad. "And you have a purpose. I like what it does. Just the idea of having to work hard so your kids are okay."
As for his multi-talented wife – along with being an actress, she's a singer, an author, a cook and the founder of the lifestyle site GOOP – Chris happily admits he hit the jackpot when Gwyneth said "I do."
When asked if it's true that he's had only one serious relationship, the musician replies, "[That's] right. I'm in it." It's a "big leap," the interviewer goes on to note. "It's a big leap? What, from being a loser, to going out with an Oscar winner?" Chris laughs. "It's a giant leap. Let's face it: it's like wicking the lottery."
It seems the feeling is mutual. Gwyneth said in a recent interview with Elle magazine, "I respect him so much as the father of my children. Like, I made such a good choice. He's such a good dad. You can never be relaxed or smug and think, 'I've got this thing.' That's also part of it: keeping yourself on your toes. I'm not going to take this for granted."

Garner, N.C. — Out & About has covered Moonrunners Saloon recently because of their appearance on the Spike TV show "Bar Rescue," but now that the hype has died down, we decided to pay the relaunched restaurant a visit.
The restaurant: Moonrunners now markets itself as a burger and steak joint with sandwiches and appetizers typical of a bar and grill. The interior looks like a modern saloon with wooden tables and chairs and pictures of old cars on the walls. This saloon also has several big-screen TVs to catch the big game.
The company: My fiance and I went to Moonrunners for a late Sunday night dinner. We were there around 9 p.m., and we had the place to ourselves.
The location: Moonrunners is on Highway 70, just off the 401-70 split south of Raleigh. Its convenient location makes the restaurant easy to get to.
The meal: We both went for burgers, which come with your choice of coleslaw, a side salad, potato salad, house chips or French fries.
My Southwestern Burger, topped with bacon, Monterey Jack cheese and onion rings, was actually pretty good. After having less-than-average experiences at Characters Quarters, I was a little hesitant to try the restaurant again in its new form, but I was pleasantly surprised. The kaiser roll the burger was served on was toasted, which prevented it from becoming a soggy mess. The burger had a good flavor and was cooked well-done like I had ordered, while still remaining juicy.
My only complaint with the burger was the greasiness. Yes, I know. It's a burger, and there's going to be grease. But with the bacon and fried onion rings together, there was a lot. I think absorbing some of that grease with paper towels before putting the bacon and onions on the burger would have helped.
My fiance scarfed down his Smokehouse BLT Burger and said he liked the barbeque sauce, so it looked like his was good as well. My side salad came out early as an appetizer and was a pretty good size. The fries my fiance got on the side were crispy and yummy, but perhaps a bit too salty (after they were all gone a little pile of salt still remained).
We also ordered the brownie sundae for dessert. The classic combo of warm brownie, creamy vanilla ice cream and whipped cream topped with a cherry and chocolate sauce was a hit. The brownie was perfectly gooey and it all melted in your mouth.
The bill: Two burgers, a dessert and a beer came to just over $25. The burgers are priced reasonably; all under $9, except for "The Runner Burger," which is $11.95 and contains two patties. If you want to be (kind of) health-conscious and economical, I would recommend ordering a side salad with your burger or sandwich. It's a pretty decent size, and unlike most restaurants, Moonrunners doesn't charge extra for it.
The service: Our food came out quickly and our waitress checked in on us often, but not enough to be considered "hovering." Granted, we were the only customers, so I can't say how the service is during busy hours, but I thought the service was good and our waitress was friendly.
The verdict: Bar Rescue seems to have done the trick. As a south Raleigh/Garner resident who never wanted to revisit Characters Quarters, I think Moonrunners now deserves a place in my restaurant rotation. The relaxed atmosphere and reasonably-priced food make it a good place to grab a drink and hang out with friends.
