Over the years, we have been exposed to our fair share of teas in many places, beyond the English cuppa.
There was the little tulip shaped glass which contained more sugar than tea (usually Lipton or Ceylon) served in the alleyways of Zainabiyya, Damascus. On other occasions, we sipped floral herbal teas, a blend of wild flowers and herbs (see here for more details), in the living room of friends who have long since left. And then there is another commonly consumed hot drink in Syria is 'mate', a caffeine-rich tea that comes from South America. It is described as having the'"strength of coffee, the health benefits of tea, and the euphoria of chocolate" all in one cup!
I gave up caffeine when we lived in Jordan, so chamomile and herbal teas were my new friends!
I found that the Saudis tended to favour copious amounts of lightly flavoured cardamom coffee when hosting guests. During a road trip, when we stopped for drinks at the little street stalls, they would sometimes have Yemeni/Adani tea on their menu; a good milky cup of tea, sometimes spiced with ginger and cardamom.
Tea is generally consumed without milk in the Middle East. However, wherever you find Pakistani and Indian expats, you will be sure to find a top notch cup of tea with milk (albeit the evaporated 'Rainbow' brand kind)!
Qatar was a step up in the tea game. The famous Karak tea can be found in most places, Qatar's answer to masala chai but with a twist. This twist is that the tea is sweetened with condensed milk. A cup of tea is a sure-fire way to get sugar rush! If you find yourself in Doha, try Chapati & Karak at Katara for a cheap, cheerful and sweet cup of tea with flaky bread. Londoners can also sample their tea (for a higher price!) in Knightsbridge.
Now, a Turkish tea is a different story altogether. An important aspect of the culture here in Turkey, tea is often brewed using two stacked kettles: A small pot of very strong tea kept hot on the top of a larger one filled with boiling water. A small amount of strong tea is poured into a little tulip-shaped glass, before the desired strength is achieved by adding the appropriate amount of hot water. The funny thing is I didn't know that when I ordered tea off a self-service local vendor. I filled up my paper cup to the brim with strong tea. It was a bitter learning experience, literally!
Here is my recipe for the perfect cup of tea, born of Indian/Yemeni roots, nurtured in Syria, perfected in Saudi Arabia, and enjoyed in Turkey.
Ingredients (makes two)
A decent sized pot
5 cardamom pods slightly crushed open
3 cloves
3 black peppercorns
Half a cinnamon stick
Thinly cut slices of fresh ginger
Tea bags (or loose leaf tea if you are a purist but I am not there yet!)
PS. These are my favourite tea bags to use
Your choice of milk (cows, almond, oat etc)
Water (1 and 1/4 cup)
Choice of sweetener (honey, brown sugar etc)
Optional: a tiny piece of a fresh vanilla pod (I just cut mine in to tiny pieces to use)
Place the pot over the heat and the spices in the pot. Now this is the trick, tea hack, secret to this tea – toast them (yep, toast!) for about 30 seconds, or until they are slightly fragrant. This 'toasting' facilitates the release of their oils and permits the spices to flavour your tea more.
Then add water (I add 1 and 1/2 cup of water for every 2 cups of tea that I make). Let it brew a little. Let those spices infuse the water.
Once the water is simmering, add your tea bags. Clipper tea bags are quite strong. Depending on how potent I desire my tea to be, I use either 1 tea bag for 2 cups for a medium strength brew. If I fancy something stronger, each cup gets a tea bag!
Turn the heat down low, and when the tea has brewed, pour in the milk and stir. Watch the tea until it foams up. Take it off for a few seconds, and then place it back on the stove and let it foam up once more.
The only three things left to be done are pour, sweeten, and enjoy.
Peace out tea people.

Yes, that tool (or should we say 'cracked' executable file) allowed the game to run on systems with less than 6GB of RAM, however the only mode that was available was its Single Player mode. Modder 'master131' has come to the rescue though and released a new tool that unlocks the RAM requirement, makes both SP and MP available, and does not alter the game's executable files."
That game shouldn't be requiring more than 1GB Of ram how the hell his game takes 6GB of ram with ugly texture!
There is nothing in this game that would require over 1gb of RAM. It is definitely the ugliest "next gen" game. I downloaded it on PC to see it for myself. It is friggin terrible. I didn't have any issues running it as I have 16gb of RAM and a 660ti.
Being very poorly optimized is the only reason it pushes any gaming PC. The only positive I can give it is the space part which looked ok. Every other part of the campaign looked like shit for a "AAA" game in 2013.

HADLEY, Mass. – Four Amherst College baseball student-athletes have been named to the 2017 All-NESCAC team, as announced Tuesday by the league office.
Junior shortstop Harry Roberson and senior centerfielder Yanni Thanopoulos garnered First Team praise, while senior outfielder Anthony Spina and senior right-handed pitcher Jackson Volle landed on the Second Team. A total of 24 student-athletes earned the honor, with 11 players landing the First Team and 13 players compromising the Second Team.
Enjoying the best season of his career at the plate, Thanopoulos concluded the year ranking inside the top-5 in the NESCAC in nearly every offensive statistical category en route to becoming the program's all-time career leader in hits (190). A cornerstone of the Amherst offense, the senior captain posted conference high numbers in hits (60), doubles (14) and batting average (.417), in addition to recording 41 RBI to rank second in the NESCAC and a .465 OBP and .535 slugging percentage to finish fifth in the league in both categories. An all-around player, Thanopoulos also posted solid numbers in the field, logging a .987 fielding percentage with 78 putouts at center.
A 2016 Second-Team honoree, Roberson captures First Team accolades after an impressive junior season in which he appeared in all 36 games. Second in the league with 18 extra base hits, including 12 doubles and four triples, the Arlington, Mass. native finished 2017 ranked third in the NESCAC in runs and hits with 40 and 52, respectively, to secure a .359 batting average, .418 OBP and a team-leading .538 slugging percentage. A force on the base path as well as in the field, Roberson stole nine bases this spring and registered a .913 fielding percentage.
Spina earns Second-Team recognition for the second straight year after a stellar season at the dish in which he ranked inside the top-3 on Amherst in batting average, OBP and slugging percentage. Boasting a .351 BA (11th in NESCAC) and a .522 slugging percentage (8th in league), the outfielder also racked up 31 runs, 47 total hits, and 28 RBI to finish 11th, fourth and tied for ninth in the conference, respectively.
Capturing the second all-conference honor of his career, Volle lands on the All-NESCAC Second Team after earning First Team praise a season ago. Fifth in the league in wins and tied for first in complete games (4), Volle recorded a 5-1 record on the year in eight starts for the Mammoths. Ever reliable on the mound, the right-hander led the team in innings pitched for the second consecutive season to rank 12th overall in the NESCAC (47.2). Owning a 6.80 K/9 average and a 3.02 ERA to finish 15th and 10th in the conference, respectively, Volle allowed just 45 hits and 16 earned runs while striking out 36 batters in his senior season.

"It's easy to be warmly nostalgic about Humphrey Bogart's last film, 'The Harder They Fall.' But to do so is to run the risk of marginalizing one of Bogie's finest performances.
"The film was released in April 1956, just nine months before Bogart succumbed to esophageal cancer. And while he looks more worn down than we remember him, there's no mistaking his screen power.
"It's a great film, maybe the best boxing movie ever made, and a solemn reminder that Humphrey Bogart still had so much left in him." writes Ben Mankiewicz.
• And now for another celebrity who is in a class by herself.
Mr. Robert Osborne, the Turner Classic Movies maven, scored a coup when he convinced the usually reclusive Kim Novak to sit with him. This month, Novak is being saluted by TCM and her interview with Osborne has been airing.
I have always referred to Kim as "The Blonde Who Got Away." She opted out of Hollywood with her mind and soul and bank account still healthy. But listening to her speak so frankly and touchingly to Mr. O...well, I think I'll re-title Kim as "The Blonde Who (ital) Had (ital) To Get Away."
• This star speaks openly about the issues of mental illness in her family and says she herself is bi-polar. She was not the tough cookie that Marilyn Monroe could be. (Under the vulnerability, which was real, MM had a will of iron. She fought her demons like a warrior.)
Novak was apparently eventually worn down by the fight - to stay on top, to remain a certain way, to accept Hollywood's dismissal of her as just another troublesome blonde who asked too many questions.
She did get on surprisingly well with her directors, the terse Alfred Hitchcock and the fearsome Otto Preminger. Of Hitchcock, she said, "As soon as you accepted that he had a strong vision of what the character should look like - I hated that grey suit I had to wear - he allowed you to find the character. He'd say: "You're doing fine. If not, I wouldn't have hired you."
• Novak never rebelled against the system; Monroe did. Thus, Kim was not as disliked as MM. Her smoky voice and hesitant manner also assured her a more varied career than Marilyn's. But after the death of Columbia's detested Harry Cohn, Kim Novak's carefully crafted image suffered.
"Nobody had a good script for me," she says now.
Her "blonde bombshell" image had also suffered with Monroe's passing in 1962.
After a two-year hiatus from movie-making and then the failure of her "comeback" in the campy "The Legend of Lylah Clare"--Novak saw the handwriting on the wall. Her work would become infrequent, but at the same time, extremely effective. (Consider "The Mirror Crack'd.") And for all the distance she kept from most major films, she still had ambition.
This was shattered, however, after her 1991 experience with director Mike Figgis on "Liebestraum." Kim Novak breaks down recalling that debacle. (And she was cut from most of the film.) It is unlikely she will give anybody the opportunity to hurt her in this manner again.
Today, Kim Novak lives in Oregon with her veterinarian hubby of many years, her animals, her art and she is a sensitive painter. She seems content.
She is happy to be remembered so fondly. She is proud of her best films. She is genuinely moved to tell her story her way!
• And our dear highly-respected friend Robert Osborne seems quite swept away by Kim Novak. His studio audience gave her a tumultuous ovation.
Kim remarked that she wasn't much of a "fighter" in the matter of her career and some aspects of her personal life. Fighting is okay; it works for many actors. But Miss Novak got off the battlefield before the war was lost.
I was struck by columnist Frank Bruni's analysis of Pope Francis in his last Sunday column. Then, Bruni verged off into human beings in general and the human failing for self-aggrandizement. He wrote:
• "Politics is most depressing of all. It rewards braggerts and bullies, who muscle their way onto center stage with the crazy certainty that they and only they are right; while we in the electorate and the news media lack the fortitude to shut them up or shoo them away. They disgust but divert us, or at a minimum wear us down. Maybe we get the showboats we deserve."
• And, the most amazing thing I read were the words of Iran's former agriculture expert, Isa Kalantari. He cautioned that it wasn't the U.S. or Israel who are Iran's worst bugaboos. He offered this thought: "In 30 years, Iran will be (like) a ghost town. Forty-five million Iranians will have to live with uncertain circumstances because the droughts and lack of ground water will have made both Iran and Egypt uninhabitable."
• You might want to call the Lighthouse because on October 1st, I am going to be emceeing the annual big lunch there at the Metropolitan Club and I'll be introducing the wonderful biographer Jon Meacham and he'll be introducing the Lighthouse honoree for the Henry Grunwald award. None other than Dr. Henry Kissinger.

How to Budget for a Vacation Without Owning a Timeshare
If you have spent time researching whether a timeshare is a good 'investment' or not, you may have come across a lot of evidence that warns you about the budget limitations and expense of owning a timeshare. Even though there are many websites and online comments from dissatisfied timeshare owners, the rate of sales for the timeshare industry continues to climb.
How popular is the concept that timeshares offer good value for consumers? The American Resort Development Association (ARDA) reports that domestic lakeside or country timeshare resorts sell approximately $1.2 billion dollars of inventory annually. Consumers looking to enjoy beach side or theme park resorts spend roughly $1.1 billion dollars annually, and golf resorts earn an average of $1 billion dollars per year in timeshare contract sales. Island, snow skiing and urban (city) timeshares sold for private or business use net the industry another $700 million dollars in annual sales.
So, if you are asking yourself why it seems that most timeshares do not care about "the customer experience" in terms of providing quality service, it is simply because a few thousand disgruntled Americans are not enough to put a dent in the annual sales, which are estimated to average almost $4 billion dollars U.S. every year. As unhappy customers are grappling with how to cancel their timeshare, or enduring the expensive cost of timeshare resale or rental services, new customers are lining up to buy into the dream of affordable, accessible and guaranteed vacations that fit their budget.
Why Do People Still Buy Timeshares? The Dream of Making Vacations Happen Easily
What motivates consumers to purchase a timeshare ironically, is affordability. With the average cost of foreign vacations and even domestic family style resorts climbing, the dream of having a luxury vacation once or twice a year, is a goal that seems financially out of reach for most consumers. Saving for an annual vacation (or two) seems much harder than simply factoring your 'guaranteed budget' into your existing monthly budget. It appears to be simple; just pay the monthly bill, and you will have your vacation time.
When consumers buy into a timeshare, they are on average, extremely price sensitive. After all, if budget wasn't a consideration and the consumer could vacation anywhere and anytime they wanted to, they wouldn't choose the predatory terms of a timeshare contract. They'd simply pick a place, plan their vacation and go! You probably know a few people who are in that category financially, but for the rest of us, setting money aside for a planned vacation is harder than it seems, and a lot harder than many financial advisors and professionals tell us it is.
People buy timeshares knowing that there could be problems down the road, but they trust that they have asked the right questions at the presentation, or from the timeshare sales person. In fact, if you have ever sat through a timeshare sales pitch, you know that consumers have many questions, and the timeshare sales person is very skilled at avoiding the concerns, and focusing on the things that essentially, the potential buyer wants to hear.
Do any of these statements sound familiar?
- "You will maximize your vacation time every year, as a timeshare owner"
- "Our timeshare owners get first choice of the most desirable weeks in the year"
- "Your family and friends will want to vacation with you"
- "The timeshare will save you money compared to the cost of staying in a hotel, and offer you all the conveniences of home, including a kitchen and laundry"
- "Many people own multiple timeshares in different resorts and destinations to maximize their vacation fun"
- "If you can't use your weeks, someone in your family can"
- "Owning a timeshare is more affordable than paying for a vacation annually"
These statements are common in any timeshare sales presentation, or one-on-one pitch, because they provide the information that prospective owners want to hear. Consumers want to make sure that at least one annual vacation happens (regardless of budget challenges) and they have typically not been very successful creating that vacation independently, because of cost constraints. The option of owning a timeshare presents a solution to a problem; it makes it seem like the vacation will always happen, if you pay your maintenance fees and membership costs.
If that rationale was true, why do thousands of people fight a battle with timeshare and resort developments to cancel their contract? Why are people so angry when they find out they are locked into their timeshare with few legal options to cancel it, no matter how their financial needs change? Because consumers are sold the fantasy of an easy, affordable yearly vacation and distracted from the true nature of the timeshare industry; which is to profit from the sale, resale, rental services, and administrative fees over the lifetime of the consumer contract.
The relationship between the timeshare resort and the consumer erodes quickly, when the consumer starts to add up the numbers and realize the true cost of the vacation model they've signed up for.
You Can Budget and Save for Vacations Without a Timeshare
If you are focused on balancing your budget, and you are thinking that a timeshare might be a good option for you, remember that any scenario that gives you financial freedom is better than being locked up in a long-term contract that most financial advisors consider to be "high-risk". There are better ways that you can factor in 1-2 great vacations a year, without ever signing a timeshare contract.
Step 1: Plan Your Vacation Time
Since you probably must book ahead of time to be absent from work, planning works well both for your employer, and for your vacation saving strategy. Choose the month and week(s) that you would like to be away, and get approval from your employer. Once you've scheduled that vacation time (you can do it six months to even a year in advance) you can start to financially plan for the expense.
Step 2: Set a Maximum Vacation Budget
This is the fun part. Choose where you and your family would like to go for a vacation, and budget out the cost of the entire trip. Include hotel accommodations, airfare, spending money, and don't forget about incidentals including baggage check fees, travel and vacation health insurance, and excursions that you will want to take while you are there (tours, or other recreational activities).
Step 3: Break it Down to Monthly Saving
Add up all components of your vacation for a maximum spend. That amount should be divided equally by all months leading up to your vacation evenly. Not sure whether you can save the money without spending it? Ask a family member to set up a two-signature account where you can deposit (but not withdraw) your vacation money (it is a trick that many financial planners advise). You'll start getting excited when you see it growing every month toward your dream vacation.
Step 4: Get Creative!
If there isn't a lot of room in your budget for savings, you can get creative about alternative ways to fund your vacation. Many people work a side-gig or small business they love, such as dog walking and pet sitting, lawn cutting, UBER or freelancing part-time (nights and weekends) to supplement their income to build up personal savings. Have a garage sale (or two), get crafty or find something you like doing to bolster your savings and get to your vacation faster.
Step 5: Group Travel
Another cost-effective way to afford a luxury vacation rental, is to split the cost with a group of friends or schedule a multi-family vacation. Everything is economical when split between a group, from rental cars and gas, to groceries, and many destinations offer recreational activities that are cheaper when booked at a group rate. Something for travelers to consider as a practical way to vacation better, and more often, while creating memories with loved ones.
Step 6: Last Minute Deals
While you may not be able to book time off work at the last minute, you can still take advantage of significantly discounted vacation packages offered at last minute club sites. From cruises to all-inclusive vacations, if you are willing to purchase your ticket less than two weeks before your departure, industry experts say that you can save up to 30% off the cost of pre-booking in advance. Sign up for websites that promote last minute vacation rates, and have deals delivered to your inbox weekly, or create your own package with bidding sites like Priceline, which allow you to set your maximum daily rate.
The best part about saving for a vacation upfront, is enjoying it without the monthly expense (or large credit card bill) that arrives after a great trip. And the number one rule to making vacations happen annually? When you are done your vacation, start planning your next one right away, without worrying about escalating membership fees or maintenance fees. Enjoy the freedom of vacationing anywhere you want, without a limiting timeshare contract. It's a better way to travel.

January 3rd Sworn in
January 4th Sworn at
January 9th Work Session: In this meeting we tackled a lot of topics that were very meaty in content and in length. A proposed concept: changing seats in our chambers as an effort to open up the idea of "new views", a literal change of perspective for our new council as a group. This was met by skepticism at first, but we all quickly agreed to place chair numbers in the hat and draw our new seating. As you look at the council from left to right it will now be Seaberg, Rothecker, Podgorski, Francis, Hansen, Forester, Flatley. This threw our cable caster off when she realized she had to re-chart her cameras for the cable coverage, but all was good in the end.
January 17th Council Meeting: We took action on all the items we worked hard on in the work session the week before. This included a retirement of police Sergeant David Hughes and promotion of a new Sergeant. We also welcomed two new businesses into our city, both on Concord Street, Certified Auto Repair and Rihm-Kenworth. We voted to get things in order to get them up and running in our city. We also adopted a resolution to support the removal of a flowage easement that encumbers property in South St. Paul. This easement is held by the Army Corps of Engineers and removing the easement is our only option to attract any business that wishes to build a building on that property.
January 23rd Work Session: Dr. David Webb from South St. Paul Schools gave us an update of the state of our schools' funding. Very interesting to know where funding for our schools stands next to the rest of the metro and state. He also addressed the efforts the district is providing for services like suicide prevention, domestic abuse and the partnership with Second Harvest food program. We also heard from our ibrary and got an update on the study that was performed on the current building.
January 30th (extra meeting) Goal Setting: We will be working with staff on goals and objectives for 2017-2018. This will be our first opportunity to help guide the city staff on their department goals and new opportunities for our city. (I am excited to support a great city staff for the first time as Mayor.)

Woman who had to be rescued from sinking car given 12-month ban for drink driving
A woman who crashed her car into a Cambridgeshire river and had to be saved has been disqualified for 12 months for drink driving.
Alison Rossiter from Spalding smashed through railings on a bridge at Parson Drove near Wisbech- and was dragged from her sinking car by passing motorist Steve Jones who dived in to save her.
Magistrates, who also fined her £140, said Mrs Rossiter was "lucky to be here".
The 58-year-old admitted to police she had been drinking in a pub - and said the crash was caused by her sneezing which made her glasses fall off.
Following the incident, Mr Jones was praised for his bravery by Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service, although they did also point out that members of the public shouldn't carry out rescues themselves.

"There are quite a lot of limitations with Live Chat, Love Call, EMF mail etc.," said the Chief Representative for ChnLove.com. "You don't get to see the real person. With Cupid Date, you can get communicate better, get to know her better."
The charge for each Cupid Date is $US 139.00 and includes scheduling the date with the lady on the member's behalf as well as 1.5 hours of interpretation services. The date takes place in the lady's current city of residence. If a lady declines the date or fails to show up, members will be given a full refund so they need not worry about ladies standing them up!
ChnLove.com members can only make a Cupid Date request after they have received at least 2 EMF (express mail forwarding service) mails from the lady or corresponded with her via Live Chat for at least 10 minutes. This is for quality assurance and to ensure mutual understanding.
For continuous improvement to its services, at the end of the Cupid Date session, a "Cupid Date Customer Feedback Form" is given to members to help assess the service provider (agency with which ChnLove.com cooperates) and its interpretation services. Telephone surveys are also sometimes carried out. "Cupid Date is a great service – I was able to actually spend time in the flesh with my lady and it just felt more real than communicating through Live Chat and EMF mail," said Mark, member of ChnLove.com. "The translator was extremely helpful – it's worth the 139 dollars."
Using the Cupid Date service is simple. All members have to do is click on "Meet Me" on the profile of the Chinese lady, fill out the "Date Request" form and click "Submit." Payment is then made by credit card and an IMBRA disclosure needs to be completed for U.S. Citizens.

Upgrading is justified
in the east
OUTDATED grain handling and storage facilities can prove costly. But switching to a contractor, as at a co-op, is not the only alternative, explains an Essex consultant.
"It is getting very hard for farms with less than about 400 acres of combinable crops to justify re-investing in their own storage," says Tim Isaac, Fenn Wright farm business consultant.
But for larger units, such as Sherwood Farms at Easthorpe, near Colchester, a relatively modest revamp of facilities can speed harvest and avoid costly knock-on effects, says Mr Isaac.
Sherwood Farms is typical of many all-arable farms in having a mixture of facilities, some 40 years old and facing considerable upgrading outlay.
The farmed area is 430ha (1063 acres), but an extra 90ha (222 acres) will be added this autumn when a let farm is taken back in hand.
Current storage is 2850t on flat floors, some with aeration, 1000t in outdoor bins and 900t in indoor bins.
"Many bin-based storage systems on farms are not only slow and inefficient, but also a potential disaster from a health and safety point of view," says Mr Isaac. "The indoor bin complex at Sherwood Farms would cost at least £10,000 to put into a usable state."
All the options were analysed and costed (see table). "For a total of £15-20,000, depending on how much work is done by farm labour, the internal bins will be dismantled, the grain walling re-used and the floor levelled. This will create a 1000t flat floor store which will be quick and easy to use."
This first revamp phase will also include replacing an under-floor aeration system in another barn with a timber floor. "This will help reduce the annual maintenance required and increase the aeration efficiency."
In phase two, in 2002, two off-lying stores will be let for commercial use, a new flat floor store being erected in their place. "Some smaller farms could earn more from developing and letting their farm buildings than from using them to store grain.
"Sherwood Farms is a large arable unit with the ability and willingness to expand. All parties felt such investment was justified and necessary to enhance the long-term viability of the business.
"A smaller farm in a similar situation but close to a good contract store would find it much harder to justify the economics of re-investment." *

Oh yeah but yay for cloth diapering...that in itself is awesome. :)

Do I Need Renters Insurance?
You'll need renters insurance if your landlord or your building requires it. While not required otherwise, anyone renting any type of residence long-term -- be it an apartment or single-family home -- should strongly consider purchasing a renters insurance policy. For most tenants, renters insurance is an invaluable tool to protect against potentially devastating financial consequences. But wealthy tenants have a need for renters insurance, too. A loss for a wealthy renter might not have a lasting impact, but they should still contemplate purchasing renters insurance to mitigate any loss that occurs.
Who Needs Renters Insurance?
While an increasing number of landlords and building management companies require tenants to have renters insurance, most people are not required to purchase it and decide to forego buying a policy -- which is widely ill-advised. Anyone who rents the home they live in should probably get a renters insurance policy. The personal property, liability and loss of use coverages the policy provides can are valuable. If you're risk-averse, or it's important to you to reduce the impact of liability and loss of your belongings, then you should shop for renters insurance and purchase a policy to protect yourself. Below are some examples of specific individuals who might want renters insurance.
Arguably, the lower someone's income, the more they need renters insurance -- especially the liability and loss of use coverages. Incidents or events that lead to those types of losses don't discriminate against renters with various incomes. No matter how much someone earns, they could be found liable for whatever the cost of damages might be and in some cases, those costs can be quite high.
For example, consider a tenant without renters insurance whose dog bites someone. Typically, a policy's liability coverage would cover any damages (including medical bills) associated with a dog bite. But without it, they would have to pay for those out of pocket. The average cost per dog bite claim in the U.S. reached a record high $37,214 in 2015 -- an amount that could be financially crippling for some renters and only a setback for others.
But even wealthy tenants have significant needs for renters insurance. Self-insuring a rental is not usually recommended. While a wealthy renter might be able to afford to pay some liability claims out of pocket, they might in turn be risking the value of all their personal belongings in their rental home. For example, the cost of a dog bite claim (mentioned above) might not scare a wealthy tenant, but the possibility of a fire destroying hundreds of thousands of dollars in personal property should. Without renters insurance, any belongings damaged or destroyed for any reason would have to be replaced out of pocket.
A renters insurance policy can also help tenants who are unprepared for a calamity. In the event a renter's unit or home is deemed uninhabitable by an authority, they would be stuck paying out of pocket for any inconveniences if they didn't have renters insurance. That includes the cost of a hotel stay, food and special transportation they would need to continue to live until they could return home or find a new permanent residence.
In theory, everyone adequately saves money for such circumstances but some might not. Loss of use coverage reimburses renters for those expenses (up to the limit of their policy) which can offset any long-term financial damage it might cause.
Many college students should also consider buying renters insurance. Anyone living in a college or university dormitory is likely covered under their parents homeowners or renters insurance policy. But every college student that lives off-campus needs their own policy.
Misconceptions about Who Needs Renters Insurance
There are a number of common misconceptions about renters insurance that might keep tenants from purchasing a policy. We've listed and dispelled some of those below.
Despite what many renters think, their landlord or management company does not insure them or their personal property. Generally, a landlord's insurance only covers the building itself where tenants live. Renters are solely responsible for insuring their personal property, liability and expenses related to loss of use.
While homeowners, earthquake and flood insurance can be expensive, renters insurance is comparatively cheap. The average renters insurance premium in the U.S. is $187, while the average homeowners insurance policy is $952. Most standard renters insurance policies include at least $100,000 in liability protection (in addition to personal property and loss of use coverage), which is good value for the cost of most renters policies.
No matter how careful a tenant thinks they are, they should strongly consider their need for liability insurance. Too many renters think they don't need liability protection because, for example, they rarely have guests and the likelihood of someone injuring themselves at their place is almost nonexistent. That form of self-assurance is dangerous. Accidents happen -- someone might accidentally flood their bathtub, leave a candle burning or drop a cigarette -- and it's best to be prepared for anything. Liability coverage isn't just for incidents that occur inside a renter's home, either. The coverage travels with the policyholder wherever they go.
Failing to purchase a renters insurance policy because you don't own many valuables is a mistake for two reasons: Almost everyone's personal belongings are worth more than they estimate and this philosophy completely disregards the value in liability and loss of use coverage. Even if a renter had no personal property, the other coverages provided make renters insurance worthwhile.
Overlooked Benefits Of Renters Insurance
Beyond the obvious coverages and benefits of renters insurance, there are some lesser-known perks that might help convince tenants it's a good idea to purchase.
Like homeowners insurance, renters insurance policies can add endorsements and floaters to bolster their coverage of personal property. Common endorsements and floaters are for jewelry, furs, electronics, collections (such as baseball cards or stamps), and earthquake protection. Without a renters insurance policy to attach endorsements and floaters to, a tenant would have to have a specialty policy underwritten for any specific item, which would likely be far more expensive.
Coverage for personal property and liability also travels with a renter, so they can relax with their belongings no matter where they are hauling them. The limits of a renters insurance policy still apply, but that coverage is certainly better than nothing. It's easy to misplace something like a necklace or watch while traveling and those items might also be more susceptible to being stolen (and thefts are covered by renters insurance).
Renters insurance also protects a policyholder and their personal property from damages related to short-term renters, such as Airbnb guests. Home-sharing is a good way to make some extra money and, as long as a renter is within the rules of their policy, renters insurance offers a layer of protection in the event something were to happen to their guests or belongings.

Approximately 10 years ago my mother and I decided to grab our things and do a mother-daughter trip to Italy; but we only had one condition: we wanted to see places that most American tourists do not visit.
One decade later, I based my doctorate on one of the provinces that we explored. Below is the introduction to my thesis to give you some idea…
It was the summer of 2005 when my mother and I decided to take a vacation to northern Italy. As we sat in her kitchen plotting our two-week summer adventure, Eleanor, an old family friend, suggested we visit the Austrian-Italian border. 'There', she said, 'is a place called Bolzano, which I think you may find interesting'. While normally I would have dismissed such a comment and opted to visit Florence or Venice, Eleanor's manifold stories of her childhood under Nazi rule in rural Austria, not least her tale of being 'kissed' by the Führer, made me reconsider. Had she not suggested that we visit the province of South Tyrol, I can say with assurance I would never have known that this region even existed.
With the South Tyrolean capital city of Bolzano in mind, we arrived in Verona and took the two and a half hour train journey heading north towards the Alps. As the train worked its way from the major cities towards the more isolated mountains, I noticed a shifting change in landscape that was different from what I had expected, let alone experienced, as a foreign exchange student living in Florence several years before.
It started with the castles, which began to appear on tiny cliff faces in mountain crevices that with the naked eye looked almost impossible to reach let alone build 500 years ago. From these landmarks I noticed the rise and fall of small mountain ridges as they fell into fertile valleys. As far as the eye could see were rows upon rows of apple orchards, a major commodity that I would later learn supported South Tyrol's German-speaking farming communities. As I surveyed the landscape, I started to take notice of the uniqueness of the alpine architecture. Distinctive as it was with its angulated roofs and window boxes, a familiarity began to take shape in my mind as I realized how 'Austrian' they all looked. Unlike the Florentine houses, which followed a strict code of red tiled roofs with sunburnt yellow walls, it dawned on me that every region in Italy must have its own specific provincial 'style'.
But as we crept our way further up the mountains towards our destination, I started to realize with some trepidation that this no longer 'felt' like Italy. Whatever preconceptions I had assumed before this trip of what constituted 'real' Italian life, it did not involve a region with Austrian architecture, let alone farms which grew nothing but apples. Fearful that we may have missed our stop and inadvertently crossed the border I wondered if we would need to turn around, when a rusting PA speaker in the carriage crackled into life and announced our imminent arrival into Bolzano.
As we stood on the railway station platform, I became aware that we were not far from the Austrian border. I heard German and Italian on the railway station's loud speakers welcoming people just getting off the trains, while German- and Italian-speaking locals eagerly went about their business trying to reach their train before it headed further north or ventured south.
Within 24 hours of our arrival into Bolzano it became quite evident that the city was bilingual. The street signs in the city centre were marked first in German and then Italian while menus in restaurants offered up translations for courses in German, Italian, and if we were lucky, English. Dining options varied from Bavarian Knödel to spaghetti bolognese, with the local wine lists providing a selection of options from the various South Tyrolean vineyards. As I glanced at my surroundings, I noticed German beer gardens set against Italian architecture while old men in blue aprons and Tyrolean hats sold large cow bells with ornate illustrations, as locals drank glasses of beer or sipped the local orange beverage, Veneziano.
An occasional glance would see some young man or woman dressed in the finest lederhosen or dirndl and speaking in German dialect, just as other women wore fine Italian shades and high-heeled shoes and spoke in standard Italian. From the onset it seemed as if I was staring at a contradiction in terms: two cultures and languages were operating in parallel, whether due to history or coincidence, existing separately within the same environment. Italians went to Italian restaurants and Germans preferred to walk to local bars rather than converge in the same social environment. Although linguistic code-switching between German and Italian did occur, most people preferred to use their own language, as I would learn six years later during fieldwork. But at the time of my vacation I was blissfully unaware that language issues were a concern in this small region. Instead I concentrated on the uniqueness of the city, which immediately brought with it a larger question: Despite the existence of national borders, when does one country's 'culture' end before it becomes another?
Below are some links to South Tyrol's tourism bureau for those who are interested in learning more about the region. Might I also add that the skiing, food and general beauty of the Dolomites are experiences in and of themselves.

|Diane Stanton (Fuente Alamo, Murcia)
|Trés Bien Merci.
|Sophie Deregnieaux (Saint-Cyprien)
|It was really disappointing to receive a skateboard on which the grip tape was badly applied and keeps coming off the deck. My goal in buying a "complete" skateboard was to avoid having to take care of basic stuff such as installing the trucks and applying the grip tape to the deck. Instead, I will probably have to buy a new grip tape and install it myself. [*** This is my initial review for which I gave 1 star to the Enuff Graffiti II Skateboard ***] *** Update (10/23/17): After reading my initial comment, Soraya (Customer Connection Team) contacted me to quickly find a solution to my disappointment. As a result, some brand new grip tape is on its way. Can't way to receive it and apply it to hit the road. And thumbs up for following-up on my review!!!
|Victor Fernandez (Biel/Bienne)
Risposta da SkatePro: We are sorry about this situation and we have already contacted you in order to be able to find a solution together :-) / Soraya **UPDATE: We are pleased that you are satisfied and happy with the solution we have found together :-) We hope you are enjoying your new grips! Enjoy cruising! ;-) /Soraya

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The hole at Morrell and Bales in the Northeast part of Kansas City swallowed a van on Saturday. As of Monday, it's still growing.
The hole is currently more than 18-feet deep, 7-feet wide, and 11-feet long. Crews with the Kansas City Water Department have been trying to get to the main sewer line for the home since Friday. It should be fixed by Wednesday or Thursday.
This started when the homeowners noticed a problem with their sewer line. They looked into it, they realized the problem was at the main line that serves everyone in the area in the alley.
Crews began digging on Friday and covered the hole with plywood for the weekend.
Signs, according to residents and neighbors, were not standing at the plywood on Saturday. Which is how the van ended up inside the hole. The driver - who was visiting from Topeka - didn't realize there was anything other than a mud puddle; he certainly didn't expect that, or the broken leg he got as a result.
A crane came out Sunday to pull out the Chrysler Van.
The Kansas CIty Water Department says it uses plywood to cover holes in areas that don't get much traffic - like alleyways. In this case, low-hanging power lines also meant the equipment used to install steel plates - which are typically installed on high traffic areas, like roads - also prevented the installation of the steel plates.
Since the accident, steel plates were pushed down the alley.
The spokesperson for the department says no one in recent memory can remember ever having a vehicle fall into one of their holes.
This occurred in the Northeast part of Kansas City. It is one of the older parts of town, and that means the sewer pipes are also old. Some are 100 years old, and they all have to be replaced as they fail.
So when you think about your water bills - realize that money is going to fix holes around the city. And with 2,800 miles of pipe, there are bound to be more problems in need of repair. Which means, there will be more holes.


text: Corn futures are currently fractionally higher after closing the Wednesday session with fractional to 1 3/4 cent gains. EIA Ethanol production for the week of Feb 2 averaged 1.057 million barrels per day. That is 17,000 bpd larger than the previous week. Ethanol stocks rose 23.489 million barrels, 444,000 barrels larger than the week prior. Analysts are expecting this morning's Export Sales report to show 1.3-1.8 MMT in old crop corn sales for the week that ended Feb 1, with 0-100,000 MT seen for new crop. Very little change is expected in the US ending stocks figure in this morning's WASDE report. The US officially exported 3.564 MMT of corn during December, down 9.47% from the December 2016 but 37.36% larger than November. On Wednesday, Taiwan purchased 55,000 MT of US corn for April-May delivery. South Korea passed on offers for 165,000 MT of optional origin corn, because in their opinion prices were too high.

FIGO frames for pest protection
I love my bantams. I do. I love the cockerel yodelling in the morning. I love collecting their tiny warm eggs from the nest box. I love watching them scratching for insects in our woodchip path. I love the way that they sprint down the garden like little dinosaurs whenever I open the back door, on the off-chance that I might have some food for them.
What I do not love about them?
I do not love that they eat any seed or seedling left outside the greenhouse! They have a sixth sense for what I do not want them to touch in the garden – and make a beeline for it the moment that my back is turned!
This month, my husband levelled parts of our lawn, and consequently we have had to reseed the grass. All that bare earth and exposed seed is bantam-heaven, so we needed to fence it off. We also have a gorgeous little wild flower border beside our shed, in which we've planted knapweed and sown poppy seeds, but unfortunately it's the bantams' absolute favourite border for scratching and dust-bathing in.
To solve the problem, I immediately turned to my trusty FIGO connectors! It was so quick and easy to pop together a few low FIGO frames and tripods to drape plant netting over. For the lawn, I used a combination of tent pegs and bent sticks to secure my netting to the ground. For the wild flower border, I just weighed the netting down with bricks left over from edging – it borders a path which has a weed-protection liner and I didn't want to pierce that with pegs!
Of course, the FIGO plant protection has worked a treat. The bantams can't get past the netting, and the grass and poppy seeds have already begun to germinate. Job done!
Do drop us a photo to show how you use FIGO in your gardens. Your photo could be featured on our blog, or on our Instagram account - figogardenframes. Follow us there for more garden inspiration!


text: I was recently playing my DS and I noticed as soon as i turned it on the green light came on the bottom screen flashed and it turned it self off. I closed the screen and reopened it and it booted fine so I thought that was a little weird but it is now starting to happen alot more frequently also if I go to close my system while the power is still on to put a game into sleep mode the system turns itself off when it is half closed. I am wondering if there is something seriously wrong with my DS or if maybe pocket time or something may have loosened a cable. I do not have a tri-wing screwdriver to fix this problem on my own if it is a loose cable but I could probrobly buy one if I needed to. I am also wondering how likely this could be a problem caused by my flash cart. If this is in the wrong section I appologize and I ask the mods to kindly move it Thank you all

Breitbart Texas traveled to the Mexican border cities of Reynosa and Matamoros to recruit citizen journalists willing to risk their lives and expose the cartels silencing their communities. The writers would face certain death at the hands of the Gulf Cartel if a pseudonym were not used. Breitbart Texas' Cartel Chronicles are published in both English and in their original Spanish. This article was written by "JA Espinoza" from Matamoros.
MATAMOROS, Tamaulipas — Mexican military and federal police forces rescued a man who had been kidnapped and subsequently left behind tied and blindfolded inside an abandoned SUV in this border city. The kidnapping appears to show a new trend in the way organized crime members have been carrying out robberies and kidnappings.
According to information provided by Tamaulipas authorities, Mexican soldiers, marines, and federal police officers rescued the man from the abandoned truck. The Chevrolet Suburban had Texas plates and appears to have been stolen. It had been abandoned in the Seccion 16 neighborhood in this border city's south side.
After the rescue investigators interviewed the man who told them that he had been kidnapped by gunmen and then left in the SUV where he spent two days inside before authorities rescued him.
The man had been blindfolded and had his hands tied when authorities found him inside the abandoned vehicle. Authorities had arrived to check on the abandoned vehicle and were surprised to find the man inside.
After agents interrogated the man they learned that on April 24, as he went on his way to work, he was kidnapped by gunmen who were driving two vehicles. The gunmen robbed him of his belongings and then tied him up.
Authorities have said that leaving victims inside of vehicle appears to be a new method of operation by kidnapping cells and members of criminal organizations. This is something that has already been in place in other parts of Mexico but has recently made its way to the border area.
Under the new method, the victim is taken and after a small ransom is obtained or they are simply robbed. They are stuffed inside a vehicle leaving them to an uncertain fate.
This recent kidnapping case helps illustrate the fact that cartel members favor stolen Texas vehicles since there is no way for authorities to track down the criminals and much less tie them to the stolen vehicle. According to authorities, the relatives of the victim had not filed a formal complaint with Mexican authorities in order to report the kidnapping.
