Personally, I am not a fan of the new BE Arcane Torrent. I think that
it has potential but not what it needs yet. I am a Prot Pally and I
use it all the time while soloing. I get about 490 Mana back when I
have all three charges up. I only have a 5900 mana pool. At 6% return
I only get around 340 back under the new system. This system favors
players with LARGE pools of mana. At the typical geared 70 mana pool
of about 10K, it ends up being 600 mana or more. While I am loving
the change to BoS, I think that the racial should be at least 10% of
mana not 6%. Otherwise I think my BE Rogue can live without the other
15 energy from the current version.
Chris Anthony said...
You're only getting 8% with the current system, and people with high mana pools (like geared-out mages who have nearly twice the mana you do) get even less.
Under the current system, if your targets happen to have mana, and if you remember to use Mana Tap every time it comes up, you get 483 mana back every two minutes. If your targets don't have mana, you get nothing, since you can't Mana Tap a mana-less target. I don't know what the ratio of non-magic-using to magic-using mobs is in the game, but I'm willing to bet it's at least 50-50. Given an average distribution of mobs, then, you're actually going to be recovering about 241 mana every two minutes.
Under the new system, you - with 5900 mana, at level 70 - get 354 mana back every 2 minutes, regardless of whether your targets have mana or not. You'd need to hit 8050 mana to get the current maximum return of 483 mana - but since you don't have to worry about whether your targets have mana or not, your *effective* mana return from Arcane Torrent on an average distribution of mobs is actually going to be about 46% higher.

The best dream convertible cars for summer
McLaren 12-C Spider
Normally when you cut the roof off a car, its handling turns to jelly – which is why people who love driving tend to hate convertibles. Not with the 12-C Spider, can you say that. With a Formula One-style carbonfibre chassis, the McLaren Spider loses none of its stiffness and is as thrilling to drive as its coupe counterpart.

After 39 long years, the Boston Bruins finally got the chance to bring the Stanley Cup back home to Boston.
After four long seven game series against Montreal, Philly, and Tampa, the B's shut the Vancouver Canucks down 4-0 in Game 7 of the Cup Finals.
Finally, all the team's hard work has paid off, and It's no surprise that the three stars of this game were Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and Tim Thomas. Marchand finished his rookie season with two amazing goals, while Bergeron didn't disappoint putting two past Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo as well.
And although Thomas admitted he was extremely nervous in net for the last time this season, he again came out on top and became the first goaltender to receive the Conn Smythe Trophy since it was awarded to Cam Ward in 2006. Each year this special award is presented to the player who is determined to be most valuable to his team during the Stanley Cup playoffs.
"Yeah, I was scared," Thomas admitted in his postgame press conference. "I won't lie. I had nerves yesterday and today. I faked it as well as I could, and I faked my way all the way to the Stanley Cup."
That he did, and everyone was beaming to watch Thomas receive this honor.
The 2010-11 season has been a long one for the Bruins, with many ups and downs. Center Marc Savard, who did not appear to be celebrating with his team last night, made his anticipated return early in the season after being out long-term with a concussion, only to suffer another blow in January. Right-winger Nathan Horton also suffered a severe concussion after blindside hit by Aaron Rome in Game 3 of this series, but luckily recovered in time to accompany the team to Vancouver yesterday and took his turn raising the Cup on the ice.
Horton's even played a special part in helping his teammates to overcome Vancouver's home-ice advantage (the B's have never won a Game 7 on opponent ice). He brought some water taken directly from TD Garden ice and poured it on the Rogers Arena ice right before warm-ups.
"I believe in my teammates and everyone believes in each other," Horton said. "We play for each other. We're excited to play for each other and we have a great bunch of guys from the players, coaching staff, management, owners, everybody. Everyone cares about each other and that's why we won the Stanley Cup tonight."
While the Bruins are still basking in their Cup glory, so are the diehard fans. This season marks the most-watched season in NESN's history, the flagship network for the Boston Bruins.
Head Coach Claude Julien noted that the fans are as much a part of this win as his team, and although many have doubted his over the years and especially during the past few months, Julien was ecstatic to be able to share this victory with them.
"We love our fans," Julien stated. "Our fans have been supporting us a long time. We know it's been since 1972 and they're dying for a hockey championship team, and we're finally able to deliver that for them."

Chapter 15: All The Poets Come To Life1 Reviews
Pete and Tina get closer..or do they?
~ 2 Months Later ~
A few months had passed. Billy got five years in prison, but could be out in two. Pete spent Christmas with Tina's family. Her dad was warming up to Pete..just a little.
Pete and Tina walked out of the theatre. "Did you enjoy the movie?" Pete asked. "Yeah, it was good." "Do you want to go to the park?" "Sure." Pete and Tina got into the car and went to the park. They just sat in the car.
"What's wrong?" Tina asked looking at Pete. "I don't know. Lately, I've just felt so out of place. That I'm sinking and can't come up for air. Have you ever felt that way?" "Yes. Sometimes it hurts so much. Have you talked to your therapist about it?" "No. I quit going." "Pete, do you think that's a good idea?" "I'm tired of it. I'm just plain tired."
Tina moved over in the car and hugged Pete. "Sweetheart, if your feeling this way I think you should talk to someone." "You don't get it. I want to deal with this on my own. I hate seeing the therapist and not feeling any different." "Are you doing what your therapist is telling you?"
Pete just looked at Tina. "Are you kidding me? Do you think I want to be like this. Your just like the therapist. He said that I didn't want to get better." "Pete, honey, I don't think that." Tina took Pete's hand into hers. "I know you want to get better. Just promise me that if things get too bad that you'll go back." "Alright." "Are you okay?" "I will be. I feel better when I'm with you."
Pete bent down and kissed Tina. Tina fell back on the seat of the car and Pete laid on top of her. He kissed her and slid his tongue in her mouth. Tina licked his lips with her tongue. Pete reached under her shirt and moved his hand up to her breast. "Uh, Pete. We need to stop." "I know." He continued to kiss her. "Peter, stop."
Pete looked at her. "Are you sure?" "Yes." He got up from her. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't of done anything." "It's alright. I do want to make love to you, but give me time and I don't want our first time to be in a car." Pete laughed. "I guess your right. It is almost midnight. I better get you home."
Pete drove Tina home. When she walked inside her dad was in the living room. "Dad, I'm home." "Okay. Did you have fun?" "Yeah, we went to the movies." "How's Pete?" "He's doing good. Well, I'm going to go to bed." "Goodnight." Tina walked to her bedroom.
"Tina." She turned around. "Hey, Destiny." "How was your date?" "Good." "Is everything alright?" "I don't know. Pete and I haven't really done anything." "You mean have sex." "Yeah." Tina laughed. "Anyway. Last night we were in the car and we were making our and I stopped him. I felt bad. I mean he's older and I know he's not a virgin and probably has done it with lots of girls."
"Wait. Have you asked Pete? I don't think he's done it with lots of girls. He may be hot and everything. And don't you dare tell Patrick I said that, but Pete isn't the type to sleep around." "Your right. I do feel bad. I want to have sex with him, but I'm afraid of how I'll react. Will the memories of Billy come back?" "You need to be ready. Don't just do it, because you think Pete wants to. Give him a little credit. He can always take a cold shower." "Funny. I guess your right. I need to get to class. Talk to you later."
After school Tina waited for Pete. He was late as usual. She got into the car. "You do know I get done at 3:00?" "Yeah, why?" "Your always late. Just once I'd like to see you on time." "I'm sorry. Can I have a kiss?" "I suppose." Tina leaned over and gave Pete a kiss.
"I missed you today." "Did you go to class?" Tina asked. "No." "Why not?" "I didn't feel like it. I'm not going next year." "It doesn't mean to skip out now. What if you want to go back?" "I just don't feel like going. Come on, I don't want to get into an argument." "Me either. But I wish you would think about going to your classes. Your too smart to throw it away." Tina took Pete's hand and thread his fingers with hers.
"Want to go back to my house?" "Yeah." Tina smiled at Pete. Pete drove to the house and they went up to his room. Tina dropped her bag and laid on Pete's bed. "Are you tired?" Pete asked. He laid on the bed next to Tina on his stomach. "A little. I haven't been sleeping lately." Pete rubbed Tina's head. "Why?" "I need to ask you something." "What did I do?" "Nothing." Tina smiled.
Pete began to play with her hair. "Um, do you want to make love to me?" Pete looked down at Tina. "Yes, but only if you want to. I'm not going to pressure you. You mean the world to me. I'm sure you don't want to hear this. I've had a few girlfriends and they never meant as much as you do. Usually, they were as I was, after one thing. I want our time to be special. I want you to be sure."
"Really?" "Really." Pete smiled at her. "I know you have had other girlfriends and are older, but does it bother you that we aren't having sex?" "Baby, I don't want to have sex unless we are both ready. I'm enjoying getting to know you and not having the complications of sex. Don't for a minute think I need to have sex or I'm not happy."
"Alright. I guess I just worry because your older." "Thanks. Your making me feel like an old man." "If you were I couldn't do this." Tina placed her hands on Pete's cheeks and kissed him. She smiled down at him. "There was something else I need to ask you. School is having a dance and I was wondering if you wanted to come with me." "Of course. When is it?" "In a couple weeks. Are you sure? You'll be with a bunch of teenagers." "If you haven't noticed, I hang out with a bunch of teenagers and I act like one." "So true." Tina laughed.
"What do you want to do?" "I probably should get home. If my dad finds out we've been here alone he'll have my head." "Has he said anything about me lately?" "No. Last night he asked me how you were. He's kind of cooled off on you and me. I think you staying at Christmas helped." "Good. I don't want him to get on you because of me." "He isn't. I can handle him. I really have to go. I'll talk to you tonight." "Okay. I should be home all night." Tina kissed Pete. "Bye."
Tina walked home. Her mom was in the living room. "Hi, mom." "Tina, I have something to ask you." "Oh. What?" "In a couple weeks your dad and I are going to Texas and I know you need to be in school. Could you stay home?" "Um, yeah. Why are you going?" "You remember Donna? My friend from college. She is getting married and I want to go. Your brothers are going to go with us too. You sure it will be alright. I'll have Pete's parents check on you and if you need to stay with them."
"I'm sure I'll be fine." "Good. I know how it's your last year of high school and you don't want to miss anything." "Will it be okay with dad?" "Yeah. I'll talk to him. How was your day?" "Good. I asked Pete to go to the dance and he said yes. Other than that not much went on." "You'll have a good time. Do you want to help me with supper?" "Yeah."
Chapter 16: All The Poets
Tina went to her bedroom after her date with Pete. Tonight she finally wanted to tell Pete she loved him. She cared for him, but neither has said the 'L' word. Her parents were leaving the next day. She was going to have Pete over for supper. She would tell him then. She fell asleep with a smile on her face.
The next day Tina woke up and grabbed her robe. She walked downstairs. "Good morning, mom." "Hi, Tina. We are just about to leave. All the numbers you need are in the kitchen. If you need anything ask the Wentz's. If you want to stay with them they said it was alright. There's a credit card if you need it." "Mom, calm down. I'll be fine. You have a nice time." "I just worry about you. You take care of yourself." "I will. Bye." Tina hugged her mom. "Tina, I want to say bye." "Okay, dad. Drive careful." "I will. Remember the rules. I don't want Pete here." "Yes, dad." She agreed to the rule of not having Pete over, but it didn't mean she would follow it. "Okay. See you in a couple of weeks." She hugged her dad and watched him leave.
Tina made some toast and poured a glass of orange juice. There was a knock on the door. Tina went to the door and opened it. "Hey Pete. Took you long enough." He walked in. "I just wanted to make sure they were gone." He kissed her. "Want some breakfast?" "No. I had a pop tart." "That's healthy. Want to watch some TV?" "Yeah."
They walked to the living room and Tina sat down. Pete laid down putting his head in her lap. She played with his hair. "Did you sleep last night?" Tina asked. "No. I'm having a hard time sleeping. I wrote a lot though." "I wish you'd see someone. I'm worried about you." "I'll be fine. It's just sleep." "You better be right." "I am." He squeezed her thigh.
"Tina, can I go to your room to sleep? I'm kind of tired." "Sure." Pete got up. "You sure you don't want me to go with you?" "Only if you want." He smiled at her. Tina got up and took his hand. They went to Tina's room. Pete laid on the bed. "Come here." Tina laid next to Pete and put her head on his chest. Pete was asleep in a matter of minutes. Tina laid with him, just watching him sleep for a hour. She got up and got dressed. She went downstairs. And got what she needed for the supper she was going to make.
Around 5:00pm Pete woke up and went downstairs. He sat next to Tina. "Babe, I'm sorry I slept all day." "It's okay. Why don't you go home and shower and then come back." "Why? Do I smell bad?" "Just do it." "Okay. I'll be back in a little bit." Pete kissed her. Once Pete left Tina put the lasagna in the oven and took a shower.
After her shower she put on a skirt and shirt. She put her hair up and put on a little make up. She walked to the kitchen and made a salad. Pete came through the door. "Tina, I'm here." "I'm in the kitchen." "Wow. I thought we were just going to have pizza. I'm a little undressed." "Your perfect. Come here." Pete walked to Tina. She wrapped her arms around Pete's neck and kissed him. "You smell good." "So do you. Do you want me to do anything?" "Could you take the lasagna out of the oven?" Tina put the salad on the table. They both sat at the table and ate. After, they both cleaned up.
"What do you want to do?" Pete asked. "Would you like to go upstairs and talk?" "Sure." Pete took her hand. They went to Tina's room. Pete sat on the end of her bed. Tina walked over to Pete and straddled him. "Um, Tina, what are you doing?" "I want to make love to you." "Are you sure?" "Yes." She kissed him. Pete ran his hands up and down her back. He took off her shirt and kissed her neck, sucking gently. Tina ran her fingers through Pete's hair. Pete cupped her breasts while he continued to suck her neck. Tina reached behind her and unsnapped her bra. Pete took if off and bent his head and took one of her nipples into his mouth.
"Oh, Pete. That feels so good." He switched to her other breast. He rubbed the other breast and pinching her nipple. Tina arched her back. Pete took her and laid her down on the bed. He kissed her stomach. She grabbed his shirt and pulled it off of him. She ran her hands up and down his back and to his chest. "Your beautiful." Pete said. "So are you. Pete, I want to tell you something." "What?" "Um, I know we really haven't dated long, but I really care for you. Pete, I love you." Pete looked down at her. He didn't say anything. "Pete, say something." He didn't.

social science
Preserved Smith, A History of Modern Culture, 2 vol. (1930–34, reprinted 1962), covering the years 1543–1776, is a classic in the history of ideas and the best single work on the period leading up to the emergence of the individual social sciences. James Westfall Thompson, A History of Historical Writing, 2 vol. (1942), is useful in this respect also. On the age immediately preceding the rise of the social sciences, the best study by far is Lester G. Crocker, Nature and Culture: Ethical Thought in the French Enlightenment (1963), and An Age of Crisis: Man and World in Eighteenth Century French Thought (1959), recommended to be read or consulted in that order. The best general work on the history of the social sciences and the history of social philosophy in the West is Harry Elmer Barnes and Howard Becker, Social Thought from Lore to Science, 2nd ed., 2 vol. (1952).
Eric J. Hobsbawm, The Age of Revolution: 1789–1848 (1962), is an important and fascinating treatment of the social, cultural, and intellectual aspects of the age in which the individual social sciences emerged in western Europe. Robert A. Nisbet, The Sociological Tradition (1966), although concerned primarily with sociology, deals with the specific ways in which the ideologies and themes of the democratic and industrial revolutions became translated into social theory. The same author's Social Change and History (1969) deals in detail with the incorporation of the theory of social evolution into the social sciences of the 19th century. For the rise and development of the individual social sciences in the 19th and 20th centuries, the following works are recommended. (Anthropology): Robert H. Lowie, The History of Ethnological Theory (1937); and Marvin Harris, The Rise of Anthropological Theory: A History of Theories of Culture (1968). (Economics): Erich Roll, A History of Economic Thought, 3rd ed. rev. (1954); and the extremely readable Robert Heilbroner, The Worldly Philosophers: The Lives, Times, and Ideas of the Great Economic Thinkers, 3rd ed. (1967). (Political science): George Sabine, A History of Political Theory, 3rd ed. (1959), best on the three centuries preceding the 20th; Francis W. Coker, Recent Political Thought (1934), excellent for the early 20th century; and Leo Strauss and Joseph Cropsey (eds.), History of Political Philosophy (1963). (Sociology): Barnes and Becker, referred to above, for detailed information on the history of sociology in the 19th and early 20th centuries; Nisbet, also referred to above, dealing with the relation between political ideologies and the currents of sociological thought in the late 19th century; and Lewis A. Coser, Masters of Sociological Thought (1971), a very good general history of sociology in 19th- and 20th-century Europe and America. (Social psychology): Fay Berger Karpf, American Social Psychology: Its Origins, Development and European Background (1932), the best account of social psychology in the 19th and early 20th centuries, and Thomas C. Wiegele, Biology and the Social Sciences (1982), concerning the effect of biological research on social science disciplines.

Magic down Sixers
Orlando, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - Tobias Harris scored a career-high 30 points and Nikola Vucevic posted an impressive double-double in the Orlando Magic's 92-81 triumph over the Philadelphia 76ers on Sunday.
Harris shot 11-of-20 from the field and made all nine of his free throws while Vucevic finished with 18 points and 17 rebounds against his former team. E'Twaun Moore netted eight of his 11 points in the fourth quarter to help secure the win.
Thaddeus Young paced Philly with 29 points while Michael Carter-Williams tallied 17 points, 11 boards and six assists in the Sixers' 14th straight defeat. Henry Sims and Tony Wroten added 12 points apiece.
Harris and Carter-Williams both started 5-of-6 from the floor, scoring 13 and 12 points, respectively, in the first quarter. Byron Mullens' 3-pointer highlighted a 7-0 Philly run late in the period, but Moore's floater put Orlando on top, 28-27, after the opening frame.
The Sixers went back in front on a Young triple four minutes into the second period. Their lead hovered between two and nine until early in the fourth, when Orlando jumped back in front with a 13-2 surge to open the quarter.
Maurice Harkless opened the frame with a 3-ball to tie the score at 69-apiece. Moore scored four straight during the run, which Kyle O'Quinn capped with a short jumper at 7:46.
The Sixers shot 0-for-8 from distance in the fourth, as the Magic led comfortably down the stretch.
Game Notes
The Sixers have now lost six straight by double digits ... The Magic took the season series, 3-1 ... Philly shot just 37.2 percent from the floor and 5- of-24 from 3-point range. Orlando also struggled from the arc, connecting on just 1-of-13 from deep.

|It's November 2004. Another long F1 season has drawn to a close, a year of Ferrari annihilation capped off, somewhat surprisingly, by a win for Juan-Pablo Montoya in his last race for Williams in the Brazilian GP - what would turn out to be Williams' last victory for seven and a half years. But in these days before cost cutting and resource restriction agreements, the teams are already preparing to embark on a gruelling schedule of testing on the circuits of southern Europe.
But instead of joining a host of other teams at Barcelona, perennial minnows Minardi arrive at the Autodromo Santamonica in Misano with their two race cars from 2004 and their fleet of two-seaters. A motley crew of veterans, pay drivers and rookies descend upon the Rimini coast for the five-day test - partly preparation work for 2005, partly a young driver evaluation, and partly a fulfilment of sponsorship obligations and other personal promises.
This was before the days of restricted testing. Before the advent of the designated "young driver" tests. Before the current day when all teams in F1, big or small, would have their fingers in junior formulae and driver development programs, and it became almost impossible for anyone outside of these connections to even get a taste of F1. This was a time when teams could afford to let an aspiring pilot simply have a go. More than a dozen drivers converged on Misano; it's fascinating to see where they have gone since.
The man who would get the most track time - some 92 laps over the first two days of the test - was Chanoch Nissany. The then-41 year old Hungary-based Israeli, having bought a test with Jordan and three F3000 races for Coloni earlier in the year, had waved his shekels in front of Minardi owner Paul Stoddart and been entrusted with one of the race chassis for two days, in part to familiarise himself with the team and in part to evaluate aerodynamic parts for the 2005 season.
Nissany finished with a best lap time around Misano of 1:14.00. He would, of course, go on to be given a Friday free practice outing at the 2005 Hungarian GP, where he was at least 6 seconds off the pace, prompting Mark Webber to recall, in years to come, the situation "a few years ago in Budapest when we had some Israeli guy which was total bananas". Chanoch was to be seen no more in top-flight motorsport after that. Presumably he preferred to support the budding career of his son Roy Nissany instead.
|In the other PS04B race chassis, ex-F3, F3000, Champ Car and Nissan World Series racer Tiago Monteiro had been given 20 laps on the first day, primarily to set the car up for the other drivers who would follow him. He got down to a best of 1:13.24. Of course, the following year he signed to race for Jordan, finishing 3rd in the six-car USA GP, followed by a second season with the team (rebadged as Midland) before establishing a career in the World Touring Car Championship for Seat.
Monteiro handed over his car to Patrick Friesacher. After four seasons in F3000, this was the first time he had sampled F1 machinery. After 42 laps he posted a best time of 1:11.15. It obviously impressed Stoddart sufficiently for the Austrian to be given a race seat for 2005. After 11 races his sponsorship ran out and he left the Formula One arena. Apart from two A1GP events for Team Austria, five American Le Mans Series rounds in 2008, and appearances in the Minardi two-seater, Friesacher's career petered out.
Stoddart used the second day to fulfil promises he had made to two young Australian drivers at the Australian GP earlier in the year. Will Power had had two middling seasons in F3, and after 22 laps of Misano he had improved to a time of 1:11.79. Within a year, having done well in the World Series by Renault, he would be racing in Champ Cars and is now, of course, an Indycar frontrunner for Penske and a fan-favourite who, with better luck, would have already had two Indycar titles under his belt.
The other young Aussie was Will Davison, who had scored a win and five podiums in British F3 over the previous two seasons. After 22 laps of his own he only trailed Power by 0.11s, recording a best of 1:11.90. But unable to progress his single-seater career, after some outings for Team Australia in A1GP in 2005-06, by 2006 he would follow a well-trodden path back to V8 Supercars. Several up-and-down seasons followed, including a runner-up finish in 2009, but he has become the driver to beat in 2012.
Days 3 and 5 of the test were allocated to the Minardi two-seaters, piloted by a range of drivers. There was Zsolt Baumgartner, who had scored Minardi's last ever championship point earlier in the year at Indianapolis, and who would become a mainstay of the two-seater program at the expense of his own competitive career. There was Nicolas Kiesa, who had raced for Minardi in 2003 and who would have Friday outings for Jordan in 2005 before a brief flirtation with sports cars and DTM in 2006.
Then there was Jos Verstappen, without a drive since competing for Minardi in 2003, who would go on to race in A1GP in 2005-06, and have a successful year in LMP2 sports cars in 2008, but in recent years the headlines have been more about what Jos the Boss was doing off the track, rather than on it. And there was Robert Doornbos, who would go on to race for Minardi and Red Bull in 2005 and 2006 followed by a successful year in Champ Cars in 2007, before landing in the now-defunct Superleague series.
|Christijan Albers was there too; indeed, one of the guests he took for a spin in the two-seater was F1 Rejects contributor Mischa Bijenhof. Albers had just come off two successful seasons in DTM, and had 20 laps in the PS04B race car on the fourth day of the test. He set the fastest time out of all five days, a 1:10.80, and eventually earned a Minardi seat for 2005, going on to race for Midland and Spyker in 2006 and 2007 before a few sporadic sports car outings ending in 2010.
The connections with Minardi's Dutch sponsors ensured that two other unlikely Dutchmen got a run on the final day. One was Jeffrey van Hooydonk, who had been racing in F3 and F3000 since 1997, and who would go on to become a regular in Belgian sports car racing. He had a five lap run for a best time of 1:15.93. Patrick Huisman, meanwhile, was (and remains) a four-time Porsche Supercup champion and sports car ace who had never raced an open-wheeler. After six laps he recorded a 1:20.42.
And so most of the drivers who took part over the five days at Misano were drivers nearing the end of their single-seater careers, or looking for a big break after several years in junior categories. Only one driver was, comparatively speaking, at the beginning of his single-seater journey. He was a 19 year-old Venezuelan driver called Pastor Maldonado who had only had two years in Formula Renault since graduating from karts, but who had won the Italian championship in 2004.
Maldonado had 22 laps on the fourth day alongside Albers, and set a best time of 1:11.33, making him the third fastest driver behind Albers and Friesacher, despite being by far the least experienced. It marked him as a driver to watch. After two seasons in the World Series by Renault, including an unsavoury incident at Monaco where he hit a marshal and cemented a reputation for being something of a wild driver, he would spend four seasons in GP2, winning races in each year, culminating in the GP2 title in 2010.
Which was, of course, followed by Pastor's ascension to Formula One with Williams in 2011, a dreadful year in a dreadful car, before the crowning glory of his brilliant Spanish GP victory under pressure a few days ago (at the time of writing). Back in November 2004, if you had told Sir Frank Williams that his next Grand Prix winner would be the teenage Venezuelan Formula Renault driver having his first drive in an F1 car as part of Minardi's liquorice-allsorts test at Misano, I'll bet he would have laughed.

How to Turn Your Clutter Into Cash
Published on - March 17th, 2010 (by J.D. Roth)
This is a guest post from Robert Brokamp of The Motley Fool. Robert is a Certified Financial Planner and the advisor for The Motley Fool's Rule Your Retirement service. He contributes one new article to Get Rich Slowly every two weeks. To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, this article is all about green: How to make more of it by selling your Stuff.
Even though I can't peer into your closets or surveil your garage (or can I?), I can say this with certainty: You have a lot of Stuff. And as the proud owner of a lot of Stuff, you should consider two things:
- Your Stuff could get stolen or destroyed, and then you'd have to prove to your insurer that you once owned it, and
- The Stuff you no longer want can be turned into cash.
I can personally attest to the latter. As I wrote previously, the Brokamp family kicked off 2010 by moving into a new house, so over the past few months we've sold all kinds of things on Craigslist. We also held a couple of yard sales — one in below-freezing weather. The total take was more than $2,000 in extra cash.
Of course, you probably want to keep most of your Stuff, and if you're smart, you have homeowners or renters insurance to protect it. But if your residence is burgled or burns, how would you prove to the insurance company what you once owned?
The answer is to take a home inventory — going room by room and documenting everything you own. As you're looking at each possession, take the opportunity to evaluate whether you still want it. Once you've completed the inventory, you'll not only have proof of your possessions — which, beyond its insurance purposes, will help you determine your net worth — but also a pile of items to sell, trade, donate, or give as presents. (Re-gifters aren't judged here in GRS-land.)
Ready, Set, Inventory!
Are you raring to see how much you really own, de-clutter your house, and make some cash? Here's how.
- Designate a place for the Stuff you no longer want. Clear some space in the garage or guest room where you'll put your trash that will become someone else's treasure.
- Choose a method and start inventorying. You have a few options when it comes to providing proof of your possessions. Perhaps the easiest is going from room to room with a video recorder, opening drawers, closets, cabinets, armoires, safes, floorboards, and false walls along the way. Another option: Use the Insurance Information Institute's online inventory tool at KnowYourStuff.org. Or just write it all down, using digital photos and receipts as evidence of ownership. Remember: As you're recording all your possessions, you're also identifying Stuff you no longer want.
- Note important information. Take video or photos or detailed notes to record identifying information such as brand, model, serial numbers, engravings, and unique attributes.
- Give special attention to expensive items. Consider getting a written appraisal for jewelry, family heirlooms, rare collectibles, and other pricey Stuff. Contact the American Society of Appraisers or the International Society of Appraisers to find an appraiser in your area. You also might want to take extra steps — such as buying a fire-resistant safe or renting a safe-deposit box — for these items. And make sure your insurance actually covers them. Some policies specifically exclude jewelry and other big-ticket items or only provide coverage up to a limited amount.
- Scatter copies of your inventory. Keep a few copies of your inventory outside your home, such as in a safe-deposit box or buried in your office desk. If your inventory is in a digital format, email it to yourself. If you use KnowYourStuff.org, the information is stored on secured servers that will be up and running even if your house is down and smoldering.
Turn Clutter Into Cash
Now that you've combed through your worldly possessions for things you no longer want to possess, you need to decide the best way to ditch them. Here are your options:
- Donate your Stuff. If you itemize your taxes, you can deduct the fair market value of items you donate to qualified organizations. Make sure you document what you're donating, get a receipt, and follow the rules — and there are many. For example, any donation of used clothing or household items that's more than $500 requires that you file Section A of IRS Form 8283. Consult IRS.gov for all the gory details.
- Hold a yard sale. This is the best option if you have a lot of Stuff of modest value. You won't get top dollar, but you will get rid of a lot of Stuff in a single morning, assuming you price it right and live near a lot of people.
- Sell items online. If you have items that will sell for $50 or more and you're willing to put in the time to list them online, websites like Craigslist or eBay or Amazon.com's Marketplace can help you find sellers miles — and even countries — away. Just make sure you take steps to protect yourself and your Stuff, such as using a payment service like PayPal or dealing only in cash. There are a lot of people in cyberspace trying to scam online buyers and sellers.
- Use a consignment store, auction house, or specialized seller. For unique and expensive items — such as rare collectibles, antiques, or jewelry — enlist a professional who knows the market and can help you get the most money.
Voilá! You've now documented your possessions, cleaned out your house, and maybe even made a buck or two. Congratulations!
J.D.'s note: More great stuff from Brokamp. It's as if he reached into my mind and plucked out a piece of my book. Your Money: The Missing Manual has material covering this subject, though it's spread out over a couple of chapters instead of compressed into one concise article like this. Photo by Phillip Stewart.
This article is about Consumerism, Entrepreneurship
I have had a lot of success selling unwanted items on Craigslist. I think a lot of people are starting to use the service. With no fees, you cannot beat it.
Originally I used EBAY, but it got to be a hassel so I stopped. The fees, feedback policy, paypal, etc were just too much. Plus having to ship stuff was a pain.
Craigslist all the way.
About two years ago when we got married, when we mixed our stuff together we realized how much good but unused stuff we had. We went through our closets and gave away all those clothes we haven't worn in two years. we have did it again last year and hope we can make it an every year thing.
I am a fan of craigslist i have bought a guest bed, twasher & dryer and also sold some electronics…."with no fees you can't beat it."
Thanks for this timely post. A coworker lost his beautiful home to fire last month – house and contents were completely gone. His kids were grown and out on their own, and he and his wife had been contemplating selling and moving to a smaller house. Now that they have recovered from the initial shock, they are making an inventory, after the fact, for the insurance company, by memory and by sifting through the remains of the fire. His loss has given me the impetus to update our house inventory and make sure certain documents are secure. KnowYourStuff.org looks like a good site to check out.
I'm embarrassed to ask this, but do you have to pay taxes on the income generated from selling old stuff on Amazon? It doesn't strike me as income, but I can see the argument that it is…
Yard sales are a win-win-win: The owner gets cash for an otherwise "non-working" asset; the buyer gets something at a deep discount (saving money); and some or all of that cash returns to the economy.
What great timing! My husband and I are moving in June, so we spent last weekend taking pictures of everything for a home inventory. Our goal is to have two printed copies of the inventory – one with us and one mailed to my parents – and one digital copy.
Another thing to consider adding to the inventory is a list of all the financial institutions you use (banking, loans, investments, etc), plus copies of birth certificates, wills, power of attorney, etc.
@Adam: Only if you sell the item for more than you paid for it (i.e. you earned a capital gain), which could happen with something like a piece of artwork. But for something you are selling for less than you originally paid, then no.
Another quick home inventory option is to make a detailed 360 degree video of every room and then store it outside of your home. Make sure to clearly label the video and email yourself and one or two trusted others a note about the video's content, purpose and where it's located.
Great post! When we moved overseas, we sold almost all of our furniture, tools, and electronics through Craigslist. It was actually fun meeting the new owners of our Stuff!
Ebay is also useful as a reality check. If you're holding onto grandma's china because it "might be worth something," take a quick browse through the listings. If you find out it's selling for little to nothing, it can be a lot easier to declutter!
I found this inventory database helper website on lifehacker, and have been using it in preparation for my move from N.C. to Or.
We have a neighborhood garage sale yearly, and, although we have donated a ton of stuff to Goodwill, we plan to participate this year after the big garage and shed cleanup.
Thanks for the article!
Amazon's marketplace worked out particularly well for me. I started out selling old textbooks and an old digital camera that I had, and it has blossomed into quite a nice secondary income for me.
I'll just make a comment that my insurance company does not require an inventory for the contents insurance. I asked them specifically. I don't own anything like a diamond engagement ring or any rare antiques, so I don't have to get any separate insurance either.
Since I err on the side of caution, I have taken photos of my apartment (including all furniture, drawer contents etc.) so that I have some proof if worse came to worse and the insurance company didn't cover me for replacement of the things I need… plus it would help me figure out quicker what to replace vs. just going from memory.
If you want to add to the challenge of turning your clutter into cash you can do what my wife and I did. We did the eat from the pantry challenge that many of the other frugal/coupon bloggers encouraged their readers to do a couple of months ago. Not only did we just try to eat stuff that was packed away in our pantry, but the only money we could spend at the grocery store was money that we earned from selling our unwanted stuff. It also gave us two months saving on groceries. It also created a lot more room in our pantry and helped to get rid of stuff that we done need or use anymore.
Craigslist has worked well for me in the past, particularly for bulky items. You can turn your stuff into cash, that's for sure. Usually though I don't have the patience for that if my main goal is just to get rid of the stuff, so Goodwill gets a lot of stuff.
I've been doing an inventory just of our books for over a year now (well, I don't work on it all the time, energy for this waxes and wanes). We have a lot of books, most of which aren't worth much at all, but some of which are worth a lot… Some sorts of inventories can be done more quickly, or with pictures alone, but for real collections (like JD's comic books) more detailed records are probably called for.
…and remember or learn to keep the green in the first place.
Less stuff in, less money, time, hassle, waste and space needed.
It gets really old taking care of stuff, you get no hugs or appreciation from it.
What a great post! As a Professional Organizer, I work with clients that are looking to do exactly what you are describing. Some are looking to inventory what they have for vairous reasons, and others are looking to de-clutter and either donate or sell some items. Many times I help clients find items that they thought they had lost or did not even know that they owned. Sometimes the best is not the money you make selling an item, but just bringing that special item back into your life!
@Adam: Generally, you are going to take a loss on anything that you sell since it will be less than what you bought it at. Technically, if you have a gain, you are supposed to declare income. My guess is that unless the person is in the business of collectibles, it rarely happens since there aren't going to be records for most of these transactions (almost always in cash).
We've done garage sales and we donate quite a bit. From an ease standpoint, donation is much better. Financially at high income, I have found that donating is also more beneficial as people rarely want to pay "thrift store value" for things at a garage sale.
Above all else, much better to get rid of your stuff than pay a storage company to store it. Guys like Public Storage and others rake in about $16 billion a year storing people's stuff. My guess is that most people store stuff worth less than 2 years worth of fees.
What a timely post. I helped a friend clean our her basement last week and she's coming over today to help me go through some stuff at my house.
I'm holding a giveaway for Annie Leonard's "The Story of Stuff" book over at my blog, The Non-Consumer Advocate which ends on Friday.
Here's a link:
Katy Wolk-Stanley
"Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without."
I would add that you can sell quite a lot at consignment stores. Usually clothing, but furniture as well. Women often have hardly-worn items that sit in the closet…make sure they are clean, pressed, and in good condition (polish shoes, tighten loose buttons) and take them to your local consignment store. I do this every few months and pocket $20-100. I still donate items to Goodwill, but save upper-end brands for consignment.
So far this year my wife and I paid for a vacation to Florida by selling stuff on eBay.
You can easily make the argument that we would have better to just not spend the money in the first place, but everything we have sold we have gotten value off of. For example, I sold used textbooks for about the same price as I paid for them.
"I can say this with certainty: You have a lot of Stuff."
I'm imagining a Tibetan monk reading this site from high in the mountains, using his monastery's sole communal computer. Even I personally don't have *that* much stuff (I have a video tour of my house if you want to see it).
"Your Stuff could get stolen or destroyed, and then you'd have to prove to your insurer that you once owned it."
This is not true at all. If you have stuff that you don't use, and you don't need to sell, then you could let it get stolen and you'd never even notice the difference. If you can survive with something perpetually stored in a box in an attic, you can survive without it entirely. Assume the bag of old clothes you were going to donate to Goodwill got stolen. Would you feel obligated to contact your insurer? No? Neither would I.
I sell stuff on Craigslist and Ebay, too, but I've certainly never put this much effort into tracking everything I own. I just don't care enough about the things in my house to keep a detailed set of records documenting my ownership of them. If they get stolen or destroyed, I'm sure I'll survive somehow.
Great reminder. When my parents lost everything they owned after Hurricane Ike shoved more than 5 feet of water in the house, they had quite a time trying to "prove" to all the various insurance agencies (FEMA, Windstorm, Homeowner's) what they owned and it's worth. When they were asked to provide receipts to prove value, mom almost sent a wad of soaking, stinky, molding paper, just to prove a point. She didn't.
What ensued was a long, arduous process trying to remember and literally itemize on a spreadsheet the contents of their home. I'm not talking just clothes and knick-knacks here either, I'm referring to appliances, furniture, electronics, etc. They had pictures of most items, and even were able to take pictures after the flood of the damage, but the insurance companies wanted more information to reach a "fair" settlement. The good news is, they ultimately received a decent settlement but only after they went through this painstaking process all while managing the emotional effects of such a loss.
My friend and I have been removing clutter from our homes by having "Everything is a $1 or less" yard sales. No matter the size of the stuff, from training equipment/furniture to candles, it's priced at a $1 or less. We've had better response from this than from the traditional yard sale. The big plus is there is no wasted time spent pricing everything. Our goal was 1) not to haul stuff to Goodwill (let other people haul it away) and 2) to have a great time.
We do this every few months and have repeat customers that asked to be put on our e-mail list (which we don't have!)
Since everything is a dollar or less we can count how many objects we've removed from our lives. It's astounding!
Now as I clean I put stuff into a dollar box and anticipate the next sale. I'm getting down to the last dregs and I'm almost disappointed when I can't fill a whole box on a week-end. We've even joked about buying stuff to put in the dollar sale!! (Just kidding-haven't done it yet, but we do pick up used furniture and interesting objects left out on trash day (free) to be used to entice people to stop and check out our sale). You will be surprised at how often someone will point to an old VCR player or book or dresser and ask "how much is this?" They just don't believe that we are really selling all this stuff for a dollar. I love to see their face when you say "It's a dollar" and they finally believe you!
Thanks for this article. I have recently been thinking about going through all of my clothes and taking what I don't wear to a consignment shop. I am very lucky that my new job has a casual environment so my work and play clothes have become the same. However, I still have a ton of business casual clothes that are in great condition and generally a sought after brand. I am going to do some closet cleaning this weekend!
Great article. I use both Craigslist and Ebay – Craigslist for the stuff that is too large or heavy to ship, and Ebay for the smaller items. You can normally get more on Ebay for your smaller items than you would in a garage sale. The drawback is the time is takes to photograph the items, find packaging, weigh the package and finally list the item. Then of course there are seller fees, paypal fees etc.
It makes a big difference how you photograph your items also. I had a road bike on Craigslist for about 2 months with some photos I had taken in the side yard of my house – no takers the whole time.
I then rode my bike up to a local reservoir which is very scenic – just the kind of place you would like to take a bike ride. I took some pics there and reposted the ad – it sold within a week for a great price.
Am I the only person who's a little tired of the "sell your extra stuff" advice? It's been my experience that there are many more people selling now and far fewer buying.
What do we do next, now that everyone else has figured out this albeit good but, imo, worn-out advice?
We're decluttering now. Craigslist is very helpful. For anything you are willing to give away, Freecycle is awesome too. I only use Ebay for easy-to-ship items like Magic: The Gathering cards.
Craigslist>Ebay. Much less hassle, easier to manage, FREE, simpler set up. I have sold quite a few things on Craigslist, and considering selling my drum set on their soon (thought I reallllyyyy don't want too!!)
Good article.
The advice that I have is to avoid accumulating junk in the first place. Move it on as soon as possible.
Why? Aside from cluttering space, it costs money to keep. Assume that a family keeps a room for storing things such as old kids toys (that they never use), old furniture, outdated electronics, etc. The room is 200 aq feet. At a rate of, lets say, $100/sq foot, this comes out to $20,000 per year. When you think about how much you are paying for this space with your mortgage, you can see that there are costs to holding things.
Is it worth the money, perhaps over $100 per month, to pay for storing such things? Probably not. Best to get rid of something that won't be used, and do it right away. Give it away, donate to a charitable organiziation, sell it, recycle it, throw it away – just move it out. You will save money, maybe get some back, and possibly help someone else.
Thank you for the reminder that I need to inventory my belongings. I am about to move living locations and am going to take this transition time to do just that as well as clean out old stuff I don't need anymore!
It makes life so much more simple and freeing!
I've never been successful selling anything on Craigslist. I appreciate the tip about having nice photos, but can anyone else who's used it successfully please post tips for selling your Stuff there?
It may depend where you live. Are you in the suburbs or a small town? Generally any place that has students or poor people, you'll find someone willing to buy your microwave for $15 or shopping at thrift stores.
A nice boy with a backpack just came and paid $30 for my kitchen cart not 30 minutes ago and I've also sold a tv, vcr, desk, hutch, end table, bookshelves, 4 chairs, and (another) desk on craigslist just this month.
This is a great way to de-clutter. Last year we found the "30 Things" project or challenge and had so much fun clearing out stuff and getting some cash that we kept going.
Also, check out your local news media sources for additional outlets for listing your items. Our local TV, newspaper conglomerate had a superior classifieds system online that was free that we used in conjunction with eBay and Amazon. It was nice because we could leave a note in the ad that there were multiple items for sale besides the one listed and thereby sell more.
That project was the best thing we did that summer and into fall because we ended up moving at the end of the year. We were so happy we didn't have to pack stuff we didn't need with us.
What are the state sales tax implications of selling your items at say a garage sale?
@33 Rani
I have sold a few items on Craigslist – bikes, kayaks, old freezer, kids toys etc.
I think the main tips are:
1) List your item in the most appropriate category.
2) Make every word count in the title of your posting – think about what someone searching for your item might key in.
3) Keep the body of the listing short and accurate. Be 100% accurate about the condition of the item.
4) Price it competitively – check Ebay completed listings for examples of what your item might sell for, but expect to get slightly less on Craigslist since it's not an auction.
5) Take one or two well-lit photos against an appropriate background. I have used white folding project boards as a mini "studio" background for smaller items.
Good luck with your future listings.
This is a very timely post for me. I put in new storage shelf recently so I'm more organized, but that hasn't helped. I'm been staring at the stuff in my garage lately and wondering how to get my money back. I like your suggestion to do an inventory. I'm certainly going to have to do one. I just think selling one by one on Craigslist would be a pain, but if I organized things a bit more then I might be able to pull it off over time. Lots to think about.
I like to donate my items to non-profits who come and pick up the items from my home. They leave a tax form that I fill out and submit with my yearly income taxes. I take photos of the items being donated and price them according to the IRS guidelines. The Disabled American Veterans (DAV) and Goodwill will drive to your home for a free pick-up. I also have garage sales/use craigslist/ebay to sell items. But it's alot of work to do those. If my children are up for it and want to help, then I will do it. Last Summer, we had one garage sale and a few neighbors saw us putting some stuff out, so they decided to put stuff out too. Me and the kids made some money and the kids were really into counting out the change. It worked out well. Then I donated the rest to the DAV!

>>>Estranged husband kills wife and attempts suicide<<<
I would venture a guess that if a guy is gonna shoot his soon-to-be-ex-wife in a public place, he's probably going to turn the gun on himself, or try suicide by cop, in most instances.
But, what if the idiot decides things aren't happening the way he wants, as quickly as he'd like; and the only way to get himself dead, is to take out more folks?
I can understand the mental anguish he might have been going thru... He was losing his wife, his home, and probably (since he was a contractor) most of his work. No excuse for what he did, but I can understand it.
Unfortunately, when we deal with the mentally unstable, like this fellow apparently was, they don't follow a rule book. He is in such self perceived "pain" that he might decide to "share" his pain with others in a physical manner.
Hospitals are there to take care of the sick. Some hospitals have psych wards. I'm sure that some folks have gone to such hospitals and checked themselves in, in a moment of mental acuity, in the midst of their emotional/mental firestorms.
I can't count on that. In a visit to the E.R. in any town large enough to have one or more, you are just as likely to see a crack head or meth addict at the end of his rope as you are to see little Johnny, who broke his ankle while skateboarding. Johnny is at risk, his parents are at risk, I am at risk; from the crashing junkie who goes off the deep end while he was hoping to get help.
I carry concealed, if I'm caught, they can ask me to leave (in my state), or I risk a trespass charge. If I'm coming in on a gurney, because of an off site incident, they will secure the weapon (from what I understand from most of the EMTs, nurses, etc., on DC). I'm okay with that. But either way, I'm most likely coming into a hospital armed.
You may not be able to at all because of your state laws.
Care to discuss?

Diversified Showcase was my first website. I started Diversified Showcase for a few reasons: First and foremost, I wanted to find a way to stay home with my kids.
But now for the second reason...
I was on bed rest for about 4 months with the pregnancy of my second child. I was forced to do all my Christmas and baby shopping online. Time after time I was disappointed to find how "cold" online shopping was. The only customer service I received was automated responders. In all the shopping I did not once did I receive an email from a person who took the time to write it.
So, after my daughter was born, I decided to start my own online store. This way, I could stay home with my children and didn't have to hike up prices to cover a brick & mortar store's overhead. I chose products that I would love to purchase for my home and to give as gifts, then started working on building a website. Soon after, my first store, Diversified Showcase, was born. I then started receiving a lot of email and calls asking if I could get ribbon and other crafting supplies at discounted rates. After much consideration, I decided to start up Crafter's Vision.
Crafter's Vision has taken on a life of its own. We are over 1000 ribbons now, and our ever growing inventory now includes over 400 fabrics, countless scrapbooking supplies, hardware and more!
I have three full time employee, who help me with every aspect of the business. Together, we are able to still offer some of the best customer service you will find online...We are no longer in my home, but as we continue to grow, keeping prices low and providing great customer service will remain a top concern. When placing an order we personally look it over, box up your items, weigh it and make sure that your shipping charges were calculated correctly. (Shipping prices will never be higher than what the website calculates and many times turn out to be lower than you were orginally quoted). We never give away or sell any information about our customers or newsletter subscribers. This includes, names, email addresses, billing & shipping addresses, phone numbers, etc. THIS WILL NEVER CHANGE!
A couple years ago we had to make the tough decision to close down Diversified Showcase. Not for lack of business, just lack of time, as Crafter's Vision is now our first and foremost concern.
Please take a look through our site. Let us help you shop for every occasion in your life with less stress. We are always available to answer questions and help any way we can.

I will try this again: Obama and his EPA with help form the Dept. of Interior have virtually shut down the coal industry which is 90% cleaner than 30 years ago. Coal produces 52% of our electricity at 4 cents per kw. The renewables cost 22 cents per kw. What does this do to the poor and those on a fixed income? Well naturally the taxpayer; energy will be taken over by the federal government. We know this admin too well. There stripes or lack of are apparent. Marxism 101. BTW all those wonderful ads we see with the coughing baby are paid by the Chesapeake Energy consortium, a natural gas company. I suppose their lobbyists are forking over the big bucks.

Are multivitamins a waste of money? Editorial in medical journal says yes.
More than half of all adults in the United States take some sort of multivitamin; many do so in hopes of preventing heart disease and cancer or even to aid with memory. But an editorial published in this week's Annals of Internal Medicine says that using supplements and multivitamins to prevent chronic conditions is a waste of money. Read more.
Our newly enhanced secure patient portal provides to our patients added benefits- including the most secure and encrypted software to protect your privacy, access to your medical records online, and the most direct contact with your provider's nurse and support staff. If you wish to email your provider a medical question, please continue to use our "MouseCalls." For those patients that have experienced difficulties navigating the site, we have an instructional video for you!
Caduceus 4 Kids is now offering complimentary EKG's, with or without a sports physical! Caduceus Medical Director, Gregg DeNicola MD, felt it essential to offer this test free of charge based on the increase across the U.S. of young athletes dying from hidden cardiac conditions, as reported frequently by multiple media news outlets including the Wall Street Journal.
Both existing patients and those new to Caduceus may take advantage of this free service. No appointment necessary, as EKG walk-ins are also welcome! Caduceus is also currently offering sports physicals at a discounted summer rate of $25, which can be administered at the time of the EKG for patient convenience.
Gregg DeNicola MD, Caduceus Medical Director, was interviewed for an article in the Wall Street Journal regarding the proliferation of online review sites in medicine. (View article here)
Our group received national recognition based on our strategy to embrace the review sites and to engage with patients that may be expressing negative feedback online. As one of the only remaining locally owned and managed medical groups in Orange County, providing the ultimate patient experience is critical for CMG to continue to grow and thrive in the communities in which we serve.
We sincerely appreciate the support online from our patients and are always striving to utilize your feedback to ensure your patient experience is like no other physician group in the OC!
Although open enrollment ended as of April 15th, people who qualify for Medi-Cal, small businesses, and those who experience specific life changes — like those who lose a job or get married or divorced — may still be eligible to sign up for coverage. Open enrollment period for 2015 coverage will begin next fall.
If you are changing plans or purchasing a new one through Covered California, let us provide to you the following overview of the exchange.
The plans offered by Covered California will fall into four metal tiers - bronze, silver, gold, and platinum. Your eligible plans will be determined for you based on your income level. Each metal tier corresponds to a percentage of the cost for covered services that would be paid by the plan. For example, a gold plan would be expected to pay an average of 80 percent of a standard population's expected medical expenses, with individuals covered by the plan expected to pay the remaining 20 percent through deductibles, co-pays, and other cost-sharing features.
The four metal tiers are:
Platinum - 90%
Gold - 80%
Silver - 70%
Bronze - 60%
There will be a catastrophic plan designed for people under 30 and those who can't afford other coverage.
Caduceus is actively participating in ALL Products/Tier Levels. After you have selected the plan and tier level that fits your budget, you can follow these steps to choose a Caduceus physician:

Found a company and you can be in control or you can be rich. It's hard to be both: you need to figure out what motivates you, and what's important to you, and then act accordingly.
According to Noam Wasserman, a professor at Harvard Business School, if you're an entrepreneur then you will often face situations where you need to confront this dichotomy.
When you start up, do you set off on your own (and stay king), or find a co-founder (losing control, but increasing the odds of success)?
Do you choose investors who stay in the shadows (remain king), or ones who are hands-on (get rich)?
When you reach your limits, do you remain CEO (and stay king) or take a back seat and hire somebody in to take your place (get rich)?

Martellus Bennett #85 of the New York Giants celebrates his touchdown in the first quarter against the New Orleans Saints on December 9, 2012 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
One of the Bears' biggest needs heading into free agency was immediately addressed. Martellus Bennett, the tight end for the New York Giants, has agreed to a four-year deal with the Bears.
Bennett shared the news over his Twitter account:
I'm proud to say I'll be joining my other brother @bmarshall next season. #BEARDOWN
— Martellus Bennett (@JoeGryffindor) March 12, 2013
Bennett is in his fifth season in the NFL, and had five touchdowns for New York last season. He's known more as a blocker, but is an effective receiver. He had 626 receiving yards last season on 55 catches.
Last season, Kellen Davis was the Bears' starting tight end, but struggled as a pass catcher. He was targeted 44 times, but caught the ball just 19 times. He also struggled with leg injuries. If the Bears let go of Davis, they'll free up $1.35 million in valuable salary cap space. If he sticks around, he will have to compete for a starting job.

Learn When Tim Minear
I am – Hercules!!
The season that's already given us "Battlestar Galactica," "Veronica Mars" and "Lost" is giving us one more great new series.
"The Inside" premieres June 8 at 9 p.m. on Fox!
For those just tuning in, Herc loooooooves "The Inside," for at least six reasons.
1) Tim Minear is running this show!
When we posted our "New Shows To Watch List" last May, "The Inside" was a total non-starter. The record demonstrates we were more excited about "Dr. Vegas" and "Jack & Bobby."
Here's how we described "The Inside" on May 20, shortly after Fox announced it:
A distaff "21 Jump Street" about a 22-year-old federal agent who impersonates a high-school girl as part of an undercover operation. It's from writer-producers Todd & Glenn Kessler ("Robbery Homicide Division"). It stars Rachel Nichols ("Dumb and Dumberer"), Peter Facinelli ("Fastlane") and model Willa Holland.
At the end of September, however, something great happened. "The original pilot didn't wow execs," reported Daily Variety. Tim Minear, the trade paper explained, would become the series' new showrunner and create a new pilot.
Who is Tim Minear? Just a TV god, is all! Minear wrote and directed the best episodes of "Angel" series creator Joss Whedon didn't write and direct. Remember the one that introduced The Groosalugg? The one that saw Team Angel move into Wolfram & Hart's Los Angeles offices? So fabulous were installents like these that Whedon made Minear his co-showrunner on "Firefly." So good was Minear's work on "Firefly" that Fox hired Minear as showrunner on "Wonderfalls," last season's best new show.
2) Minear's "Inside" is a different "Inside" than the one we've heard about.
It was reported in the trade press that Minear was "hired to write a new pilot script while keeping the premise." The trade press lies, says Minear. "I agreed to do it if they let me dump the premise. 'The Inside' is totally retooled. It's less '21 Jump Street' and more 'Silence of the Lambs'."
Gone is the high school and any ongoing undercover operation.
The show is now about Rebecca Locke, a young special agent who joins the FBI's Violent Crimes Unit (VCU) in Los Angeles. Having graduated from the FBI academy two years ago, she's already made a name for herself at Homeland Security, where she demonstrated a knack for cracking Queda codes.
The man in charge of L.A.'s VCU, celebrated supervisory special agent Virgil "Web" Webster, recruited Rebecca, and she may be his biggest find yet. Quickly and unassumingly does she demonstrate that she's better at what she does than the older, more experienced and highly skilled agents Webster recruited before her.
We also learn that a very dark chapter was written into Rebecca's life long before she began training with the FBI.
"High school angle -- DEAD! This is not an undercover show," emphasizes Minear. "When they asked me to do this I felt there were problems in the DNA."
Rebecca's new VCU teammates include irritable ex-marine Danny Coulter, big-brained psychologist Melody Sims, and young family-man Paul Fatorre, who comes to fear that VCU boss Webster could eventually devolve Rebecca into something as dark and hardened as Webster himself.
The old "Inside" concept, Minear says, was "really good for an episode of a show, not a whole series. A procedural needs to be specific but broad at the same time. 'CSI': it's specific, they do the science. It's broad: it can be applied to any kind of crime/story.
"You can have an 'X-Files' episode about repeating a day, but you don't want to see Mulder doing that every week. Hence the overburdened concept of 'Tru Calling,' for instance. Rebecca will go undercover when I need or want her to. Other than that, it's about the triangle of Web, Rebecca and Paul -- Web and Paul both in existential battle for Rebecca's soul."
"It's 'Silence Of The Lambs' by way of 'L.A. Confidential.' Paul sees himself as the one thing standing between Rebecca and Web's corrupting influence. It is a battle for her soul. If in fact she has one."
Though Rebecca is after a serial killer in Minear's pilot, the series concept doesn't necessitate a "serial killer of the week."
"Violent crime, serial killers, rapists, some terrorism,
adbudctions/kidnappings, arsonists, bombers," is how Minear describes Rebecca's workload. "We go to the sick, twisted and depraved place, but not always serial killers."
Will there be a "big bad" to haunt "The Inside's" first season? Or perhaps the entire series?
Minear doesn't say no. "Was Rebecca's abductor ever caught?" Minear asks rhetorically. "Um, good question. Is Web Jack Crawford [the Scott Glenn mentor character in 'Silence of the Lambs'] or Hannibal Lector? Another good question."
So if it's a totally different show now, why not retire the old title too? Word leaked recently that the series might change its name to "Southland" [media slang for "Greater Los Angeles"], but Minear is doubtful that one will stick.
"Probably not 'Southland,' though it was my idea and I like it," he says. "Seemed James Ellroy-ish to me. Start the show with the sound of a car radio spinning on the dial and 'today in the Southland...' kinda thing. But we're still looking for a title. Something probably procedural-sounding."
3) Get a gander at Minear's writing staff!
Those inside "The Inside" now include:
* Jane Espenson! The best and funniest "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" writer not named Joss Whedon! She wrote the one about Xander getting the funny syphilis, the one about Buffy getting the funny telepathy, the one about Xander getting Xeroxed, the one with the Aprilbot, the one that introduced the Buffybot, the one in which Buffy fought the mummy hand, the one in which Giles terrified the Chinese potential with flashcards. Jane Espenson rules.
* Richard Hatem! Screenwriter of "The Mothman Prophecies," Hatem created ABC's woefully short-lived supernatural drama "Miracles," one of the best series of 2003. He also personally scripted its gripping and thought-provoking four-star pilot. Hatem's brainchild caused legions to scrawl the words "God is nowhere" on paper napkins. Richard Hatem rules.
* David Fury! The author of more produced teleplays set in the Buffiverse than any other writer save Joss Whedon, Fury joined the writing staff at "Lost" for its first season, and promptly wrote most of its best episodes, including the five-star affair in which viewers learned of John Locke's (now vanquished) disability. David Fury rules.
* Rob Pearlstein, Ahmed Lavalis, Mark Fish, and Karine Rosenthal! I've no idea who they are! But they must be super-extra-talented talented if they get to work with Minear, Espenson, Fury and Hatem, right?
4) Look at the cast!
* The only holdover from the old "Inside" is its lead actress, the alarmingly cute 25-year-old 5'10" former Guess? model Rachel Nichols. She was going to play faux high-school student Elizabeth Worth in the old "Inside"; now she's FBI superprofiler Rebecca Locke.
* The big news for "Firefly" fans is "The Inside" reunites Minear with Adam Baldwin, who played violence-prone mercenary Jayne Cobb in the short-lived spaceship series (and in Joss Whedon's upcoming bigscreen spinoff, "Serenity"). "The Inside" has Baldwin playing Rebecca's impatient and amusingly rude colleage Danny Coulter.
* Peter Coyote, last seen playing supervising government operative Dennis Ryland in "The 4400," plays Rebecca's dark mentor, Virgil Webster.
* Katie Finneran, still memorable for her work as Jaye's lesbian sister on "Wonderfalls," plays Rebecca's only female teammate.
* Jay Harrington, last seen recurring on the WB's "Summerland," plays Paul, the FBI man trying prevent Webster from driving Rebecca to the dark side.
5) The scripts for the series' first two hours? They rock. Very hard.
I haven't seen a frame of footage, but I can already tell from the first two teleplays that I love this show. Its scripts give us exactly what fans expect from Minear: compelling characters, monstrous twists, rocket pacing and resonant dark humor. Rebecca, especially, is a great central figure, gifted, haunted and driven but also heroic and hugely likeable. The victims are sad. You'll crave grave punishment for their detestable tormentors. And you will thrill to realize Rebecca has the means to destroy them.
6) There's "Inside" stuff Herc's forbidden to discuss.
In an early Minear pilot script, a serial killer leads the FBI to a fictional and abandoned Los Angeles hotel named the Hyperion. Sad to say, the hotel, known to fans of the Buffiverse as the former worldwide headquarters of Angel Investigations, didn't quite survive to the final shooting script. "But look for a very specific 'Angel' reference," promises Minear.
If you think that particular promise is cool, Minear has privately spoken also of tentative plans you'll find 1,000 times cooler. Minear, fearful of jinxing, forbids us to say more, but I'm not exaggerating about the "1,000 times" part. Makes me giddy.
Fox has ordered 13 hours of Minear's "The Inside." They start airing in less than a month. I. Can't. Fucking. Wait.

by TodayzSpecial
... not to mention the oh so great writing staff that's current batting average is in the .100's .... I love Jane Espenson, but she couldn't save Tru Calling. David Fury is going to only be on the INSIDE temporarily as he's going to be co-executive producer of 24 season 5. Tim Minear is amazing, but he seems cursed. Angel ... cancelled ... Firefly ... cancelled ... Wonderfalls ... cancelled. Fox don't break my heart again. I may not even tune in if the ratings don't go well b/c I'm sick of getting sucked into shows that are pulled away from me!

NO!!!!! not a summer start
by Demosthenes2
When's the last time a basic network show took off with a summer debut? More importantly when was the last time Fox gave a really great show a chance? 24 I suppose, four years ago. Hopefully the summer debuts of cable shows have opened people's minds to look at summer shows on the basic networks but I'm skeptical that without a full launch of premieres on their summer schedule, people don't really look at a network's one to three new shows in the summer.
May 12, 2005, 5:23 p.m. CST
The title
by somethingreal81
The title is probably not going to be changing. Fox has already run commercials and put up a page on their website with the name The Inside. It's not a horrible title, but it doesn't really seem to have anything to do with the new premise. If they wanted something procedural sounding then how about (duh) "Violent Crimes"?
May 12, 2005, 5:25 p.m. CST

by AshFett
what was the last network show to debut in the summer and hit it big? That would be The OC. Before that? Hmm... Well Survivor sure qualifies. It can work.

Two things to say about this...
by Jumpstart
1. While I am not a buffy-phile, and therefore don't care if Tim Minear is the creator...I think comparing something to "Silence of the Lambs" is really dangerous territory. Because, if it's not as good, it's a really hard knock to the show that it just won't recover from and 2. Fox has no balls when it comes to dramas. Its only saving grace as far as I can tell is that it's not sci-fi (Fox will give a sci-fi drama two years on the outset, and that's only if the star can grow into the New Hotness *cough*Jessica Alba*cough*). However, I remember a little show called Boston Public, which I loved, and then it degenerated into outrageous plots and stunt casting. I can already see that happening to House (Oh, lookie, House broke Cameron's heart...this won't ever be revisited again, sure, and Ross and Rachel just weren't meant to be together. Right. As an aside, the ONLY stunt casting I will find perfectly acceptable on that show is by Stephen Fry. But anyway.) I see that show coming in with more and more "the only thing more shocking than the patient's illness IS WHAT HE'S HIDING" or "the MOST SHOCKING CASE YET". Well, it's only the first season. Can you imagine what the second has to live up to? But, this is about The Inside. Okay, back to topic. If you can follow the trends for drama at Fox, you can surely understand the fate of this show, and why it just doesn't look good from here. They should give it to FX if they want it to be any real damn good.

After House bad idea -- After Lost reruns good idea :)
by Snaieke
If house stay's where it is at for next season, it would be a Tuesday at 10 PM up against Law & Order: SVU. -- best thing they could do to save "The Inside" is piggy back it on the Lost reruns and if it hits, continue the season until Alias comes back on in January or whenever.
May 12, 2005, 5:38 p.m. CST
Wait a second... this is on FOX?
by Snaieke
forget my last post.... I will do, as I have done for all Fox Shows... DVR it for an entire season then watch it if it actually makes it to a full and complete end..... I learned that lesson the hard way :(
May 12, 2005, 5:47 p.m. CST

Tim Minear
by DanielKurland
He really is an accomplished writer. You look at the stuff he's done for Angel (minus the early season one stuff) and Firefly alone, and you can easily see he has lots of talent. It's a shame that Hyperion reference was removed, but I am quite itnerested to see what other Angel references he has slipped in. This might be the closest we get to getting "news" in regard to the events post-season five.

FOX will kill it...
by AeroB
...unless it's a breakout hit (and they haven't been promoting it enough for it to become a breakout hit). Still, it has Adam Baldwin and Buffyverse writers, so count me in. Minear rocks.

Minear is good.
by Ole Gravy Leg
But is he Hunter S. Thompson good? Is he Jane Espenson good? Dude, it's crazy nuts, insane. I'll watch this show.

I will watch this

only because of that Tru Calling comment (_that_ was the name of that show..)

Sounds Lame.
by jimmy_009
C'mon the best we can do is another investigation show? I was suprised and pleased by Lost because it broke the ENDLESS cycle of cop and detective shows with something ORIGINAL. This sounds like a rehash of everything else. YAWN.

by Barry_Woodward
Tim Minear said so himself at the message board he frequents, Buffistas. If the series gets a second season, it's likely even more Mutant Enemy alumni will be tapped as well.

by Big Bad Clone
Like Paradise Hotel, Forever Eden, or some other sluts in a remote location shit. Sure the O.C. has plenty of buzz and is watched by a mainstream audience until it was abandoned on Thursday. But that's only one out a dozen shows taht premiered in the summer.
big bad clone what the fuck are you talking about

What would be cool enough for you? At least this isn't a promotional article for a DVD set on Amazon... and FYI I do think it's cool news

Best "Firefly" episode
by Ribbons
I know this is subjective, but I liked the pilot episode, man. That baby had mileage. "Out of Gas" had the best line in the series though. I think I've already said this before, so I'll leave the speculation as to what line it was up to anyone who cares.

Such a tease
by jtp972
Considering the context of the mention of big surprises...any Buffyverse van now officially has their hopes up for some significant reference (even possible plotline) dealing with Buffy or Angel. Gonna be a letdown, though, if its only something like the main character talking about 'her friend who used to be on the LAPD who went whacky and starting talking about a vampire with a soul.'

What's a Buffyverse van? How do I buy one, or at least hitch a ride in one? Sounds cool!

if the guy who swept the floors on the buffy set wrote a script herc would give it 5 stars?
May 13, 2005, 10:08 a.m. CST
Yes, ZO
by Kung Fu Hustler
There is no doubt that script would be "better than we deserve."

The definition of "Inane": an ex-Guess? Model portraying an FBI "superprofiler". And this is better then The Shield? Herc = melodrama. she also went to columbia university

While a great line in and of itself, I was thinking of something slightly more comical.

AICN continues to shill for all things Whedon
by jackburton2003
...now it's all things semi-Whedon related, past, present, or future. Kinda makes you wonder if these guys even have an inkling what the word "bias" means. Sheesh, guys. Get some perspective. Or at least ATTEMPT to project SOME measure of objectivity fer Christ.
