Michelle Singletary | The Color of Money Grads: Don't Forget Renter's Insurance
If you are aboutto graduate from college, there are three financial things you should definitely do once you get your real-world job.

First, make sure you sign up for the 401(k) plan or any similar retirement plan if it's available. Second, through payroll deduction, set aside a percentage of your pay in a savings account (not checking) that you will not touch. This will be your emergency money. I suggest 10 percent from every paycheck.

And if you are renting, get renter's insurance.

You've probably heard the first two pieces of advice but I'll bet your mama or your daddy didn't tell you about renter's insurance. And if they did mention it, in all likelihood you are planning to ignore the advice.

Renter's insurance is one of those things that young people often skip. You may figure you don't have much to lose if your apartment catches fire or if it's broken into. Or I bet you believe the landlord's insurance will cover your losses.

In both cases, you would be wrong.

Landlords typically insure building structures, but not the contents or liability of individual tenants. Renter's insurance protects your personal possessions if your property gets damaged, destroyed or stolen. The policy also gives you liability coverage if someone gets injured at your house or apartment, even in the event you accidentally burn down your apartment and the landlord's insurance company sues you for damages, according to the Independent Insurance Agents &amp; Brokers of America (IIABA), based in Alexandria, Va.

About three-quarters of Americans insure their homes and personal possessions against fire, theft and other damages, according to a recent survey by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC). However, the NAIC found young singles often don't have renter's insurance.

But it's not just young folks.

Of families who rent, nearly 7 in 10 said they don't have renter's insurance, and another 5 percent weren't sure, according to a survey by Trusted Choice, a group of insurance agencies and financial firms.

Often people, especially young renters, don't think they can afford the insurance. But this type of insurance is as affordable as getting one pizza a month.

The average cost of renter's insurance is $12 per month for about $30,000 of property coverage and $100,000 of liability coverage, according to the IIABA.

When purchasing renter's insurance, you should consider replacement cost coverage as opposed to "actual cash value" or ACV, the NAIC recommends.

There is a big difference between the two types of coverage. Actual cash value is the amount it would take for you to repair or replace your damaged possessions after factoring in depreciation. Replacement coverage pays you what it costs to replace the items you lost. Of course, the latter is more expensive than ACV. But if you can afford the higher cost, get it.

Oh, and for those parents sending children to college in the fall, check to see if they are covered under your own homeowner's or rental policy if they plan on living in an apartment off campus. Dependents, such as college students, are typically covered under their parent or guardian's policies, according to NAIC. On average, a dependent is covered for up to 10 percent of the parent's policy.

However, that coverage may not extend to off-campus apartments. If your child is not covered, then you need to get renter's insurance. Think about what could be lost —a computer, printer, stereo, flat-screen television, DVD player, iPod, cell phone.

The college lifestyle puts them at risk, with unlocked doors, pizza delivery and parties, the IIABA points out.

Here are some additional things to consider when buying renter's insurance, according to the IIABA:

 Usually, it's best if all roommates are on the same policy, although it is possible for each to purchase his or her own coverage.

 Standard renter's insurance excludes damage from earthquakes and floods, so talk to your insurance agent about coverage for these incidents. Most policies limit reimbursement for theft of valuable items such as jewelry, furs or fine art. If you have particularly valuable items in these categories, you may need to purchase additional inexpensive coverage called a "floater."

 If you damage the building's lobby or walls moving furniture into your apartment, you could be held liable. Likewise, if a fire starts in your unit and spreads through the building, you could be held liable for the entire structure if you are deemed at fault. Renter's insurance shields you from these liabilities.

Consumer Reports

Every time my husband and I decide to buy something, he responds with one phase: "We need to check Consumer Reports." Every time. Even for products that are relatively inexpensive.

If you are ever going to buy something, you need to get a subscription to Consumer Reports. But if you don't have a subscription, here's the next best thing: the publication's buying guide. In it you get a full year's worth of advice and ratings on everything from automobiles to cell phones to flat-panel televisions to toilets to pressure washers to, of course, microwaves.

To that end, for the Color of Money Book Club May selection I've chosen the "Consumer Reports Buying Guide 2006" by the editors of Consumer Reports magazine. The guide is a bargain at $9.99 and I love its paperback, compact size. It's perfect to take along on your trips to the store with its more than 950 brand-name ratings. There's a section on how to protect your identity.

Mt. McKinley: Nugent & Team Weather a Ferocious Snowstorm at 17K Camp
Posted by: Billy Nugent, Chase Nelson | June 27, 2014
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Mount McKinley
Elevation: 17,200'
June 26, 2014 - 9:33 pm PT
Hey this is Billy checking in from 17K on Denali, again, where we are still pinned down by the weather. Today is our second storm day. We actually had some sort of blue skies and clearing and some hope on the horizon but things closed back in here. They are calling for high pressure to build over the mountain this weekend. If we get up tomorrow and it looks promising, we might take a crack at it or we might be sitting tight until Saturday. Last night was definitely one of the most ferocious storms I have had to battle up here in Alaska. We were definitely up all night digging out tents with feet and feet of snow and very, very strong winds- 70 miles an hour. For our chance for it, we have tons of food and fuel, and we just need the weather to cooperate. And that's all for now.

OK, Would you still create photographs if you knew no one would ever see your work? In other words do you make photographs for yourself or for everyone else? Know where I stand...wondering how everyone else here at APUG feels.... :whistle:

OK, Would you still create photographs if you knew no one would ever see your work? In other words do you make photographs for yourself or for everyone else? Know where I stand...wondering how everyone else here at APUG feels.... :whistle:
yes.. wouldn't be that much of a change :)
Yep. Actually I kind of prefer it that way now....
Although I DO like getting critiques from fellow APUGers since they are by far the best I have ever gotten. Constructive and useful.
Most of the time nobody sees my images. I photograph for myself. On occasion someone (friend or family) will see a contact sheet used as a bookmark, hanging to dry, or just in my room and will want a print. Sometimes I do shots for others as gifts (the animal photo gig is really keeping the costs down for Christmas this year). My photography is for me and I enjoy it that way as I don't have any outside pressures and can work at my own leisurely pace.
That's what I've been doing for most of my life!
Except a short period as part-time pro, none of my photographs have ever been intended for showing.
I 'take' my photographs for my own self gratifacation (is that legal?) but I must admit that there is a certain pleasure in stimulating/touching someone elses emotions, but I don't actively seek it.
I echo what Robert Kennedy is saying that Critiques on APUG can be rewarding and a 'growing' experience
Probably. Nobody else has seen most of my work. Very few people have seen even a representative sampling of my photos.
As an amateur photographer I work primarily for myself. Of course I'm happy, if somebody else likes my work, but this isn't my intention. I wouldn't be satisfied, if someone else likes a piece of my work that I don't like. My own taste is what counts for my hobbies. This is totally different in my profession, but that is (fortunately ;-)) not photography.
I shoot mostly for myself so very few people see my work. At times, I do portraits and cover social events for other people and that work is shown, but I would definately still be photographing for myself even if I knew no one else but me would see it.
Most certainly.
I enjoy the creation and process entirely. Simply put. I enjoy the journey of observation, attempting to make a creation (negative) and interpretation (printing).
Like others, most of my work is private but an occasional compliment from somebody I know is appreciated. More important to me is that a casual observer enjoys my prints than to have a critique from skilled photographers. I am not in this as a competition but rather from the simple pleasure of creating beautiful or perhaps intriguing prints. I like to think that beautiful or interesting prints are easily appreciated by most people and do not require a skilled and trained photographic eye to evaluate the value of such a print. ... Sorta like "the Emperor's new clothes syndrome".
I have always believed that I do not need to be educated or instructed on what is art and what is not art. I trust my own eyes and and what I like to view. I will leave the exotic art and wild interpretation to those that have a desire to do this.
Kind Regards,

Environmental Protection Agency regulatory proposals published in the Federal Register Wednesday detail the agency's plan to effectively ban the construction of new coal fired plants in the U.S. unless they include clean coal technology.
The new rules would require new coal plants to meet emissions standards that many people in the coal industry say are unachievable using current technology. New plants would be forced to incorporate carbon capture and storage (CCS), a costly and unproven "family of technologies and techniques that enable the capture of CO₂ from fuel combustion or industrial processes."
"By requiring CCS, EPA is placing a de facto ban on the construction of new coal-fueled power plants, handing over leadership of the development of CCS, and an estimated $1 trillion in economic benefits, to countries like China," said Laura Sheehan, spokeswoman for the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity.
The proposals come as other countries throughout the world are becoming more reliant on coal as a fuel source to meet increased need for electricity and bring down power costs. Chinese officials recently approved 100 million metric tons of new coal production. And in Germany, coal-fired power is making a comeback following years of electricity price increases resulting from heavy reliance on so-called green energy.
"Forcing America to abandon its largest and most reliable energy source is a reckless gamble with the nation's economy," Hal Quinn, president of the National Mining Association, said in a statement. "A more expensive and less diverse electricity supply will only stand in the way of economic growth and job creation."

Lyrics for James Taylor - "(I'm A) Road Runner"
Money, who needs it
Let me live a life free and easy
Put a toothbrush in my hand
Let me be a traveling man
I'm a roadrunner baby
I'm a road runner baby
Any place is my home
I'm a road runner baby
You look for me and I'll be gone
Well you can love me if you want
But I do declare
When I get restless
I've got to move somewhere
I'm a road runner baby
Just got to keep on keeping on
And I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Don't want no woman
To tie me down
Gotta be free baby
To roam around
All my life it's been like this
If you love me it's your own risk
When the dust hits my shoes
I got the urge to move
I'm a road runner baby
Anyplace is my home
And I love the life I live
And I'm gonna live the life I love
Roadrunner baby

Deleted Scenes
When movies are made, scenes are often left on the cutting room floor.
I attended a screening of this film in Scottsdale, Arizona before it was released. It was just over three hours long and several people fell asleep during it.
I saw people either from the studio or who were involved with the film reading comment cards filled out by the people who had just watched the screening. I heard one person who had been reading the cards say out loud, "They keep saying it's too long!"
So I know they did delete some scenes but as my first viewing put me off this movie I didn't watch it when it was deleted to see what they cut out.

ABC Supermarket: A self-serve grocery
One of a very few self-serve grocery stores in Simferopol. Rather than having to run around a large outdoor market, you get convenient shopping here....for a price of course.
What to buy: Some of the fruits you won't find at street vendors...especially out of season. Lots of Western European packaged goods. Large selection of wines and beers. They have hard alcohol also, but only premium brands (i.e. $40 for a bottle of tequila). They are also one of the very few places I have found in Simferopol that sell Oreos.
What to pay: More than a street vendor or large market charge.
Market at Kuybishcheva square: Outdoor markets
Outdoor shopping is a mainstay of Ukrainian life. Even old babushkas can pull up a folding table and sell cigarettes at the top of the stairs as you exit an underground walkway. Chances are in the walkway the sides were lined with kiosks as well. This food market at Kuybishcheva square was essential to me, seeing as I was staying in private accomodations and had to feed myself.
What to buy: Fruits, vegetables, and drinks are easy to shop for. There was a small take-out window to the left where they sold cheburekis (kind of a greasy folded thin bread with meat inside) and pirogs (my favorite were potato filled) for about 10-20 cents each.
What to pay: Not much.
Downtown pedestrian shopping area
Downtown on Pushkin street for a few blocks they have turned the street into primarily a pedestrian shopping district. You can find a number of good book stores, cafes, restaurants, theaters, gift shops, and others.
The Central Department Store: Closest thing to a mall they have
Department store isn't really a good description of this place. While there are lots of different things being sold, each department is actually a store in and of itself being owned and operated by separate people from the rest of the place. It's two stories of small shops all pushed together.
What to buy: If you're not too picky about the copyright laws, there are many places to find cheap CDs, DVDs, and VHS movies. I spotted the entire first season of "Sex in the City" on VHS for about $5.
What to pay: Depends on the item. You can buy everything from knick-knacks to large consumer electronics here.
Bukva bookstore: Book Superstore
This bookstore is ideally located downtown and has high shelves stuffed with books. I would say they have a more complete selection of reading material crammed into the shelves of the shop.
What to buy: Well, if you're in dire need of a book in English they have a decent selection, although the prices are as high if not higher than back home. You could also pick up some cheap Russian children's books if you're trying to learn the language.
What to pay: Local books run around 2-5 bucks...English paperbacks around 8-12 bucks.

This foundation was supposed to be the best, or so I've heard. I did a lot of research before buying it, and I decided to give it a try. I actually really loved this foundation at first, it made my skin look really pretty and stayed on forever. I remember I could brush my finger across my face and nothing would stick onto it, like many other foundations do. After awhile, however, this stuff made me break out. My skin became kind of dry and it didn't really go on that smoothly anymore. It is very hard to blend, like others say, but it is manageable if you work with it. It has nice coverage as well. The one thing I really dislike is the packaging. why can't this have a pump? haha. I couldn't even get anymore out of it cus I couldn't stick my finger in there and get anymore, which stinks. I didn't buy this foundation again after it was done with, but I probably will next time.

I wanted so badly to love this foundation. It DOES have it's perks though.
It has relatively good coverage and definitely has staying power, but it's thick and a bit of a pain to blend, even if using a damp sponge or foundation brush. It also made my pores incredibly visible. The smell was also terrible to me.
And if you need touch-ups throughout the day? Forget it. If I tried to touch it up even slightly it got ridiculously cakey.
I'm also very pale, and though the lightest color was closer to my skin tone than most, it had WAY too much pink in it, and was still too dark for me.

This is my first foundation. It works great and long to hold the oil in my skin face from burst. The downside from this foundation are it feels heavy and no pump. People often complaints that it dried fast, I got the trick by applying the foundation with wet sponge. It get easier and even out the product in my face.

This foundation is both awesome and a bummer. I think it's worth the money to try it out, but I don't think it's the foundation for me.
I read so much about the coverage this foundation gives, and when I felt the texture (a little like cream foundation that melted 'cause you left your purse in the car), I was expecting it to be exactly as full as everyone claims. But for me it just isn't, y'all. The coverage here is medium at best. I get the same coverage from L'Oreal True Match, which I think of as my quickie "sure, this actually looks pretty good and anyway I don't have time for more" foundation. Colorstay doesn't feel or look heavy to me, though, so it feels just right for the look it achieves. I was just hoping for something more.
It goes on like a dream, and didn't set too fast for me to blend at all, which was something I was worried about. It smoothed over my imperfections about as well as any product could, though nothing was really and truly covered, like I said. Still, that's an impressive texture for a long wearing foundation to have.
Where this really fails for me is the color. Oh, Revlon, up yours! I'm extremely pale, though not the palest girl in the world, and pretty neutral (I'm all about True Match in W1, for color match if nothing else). I like for my foundation to match the palest areas of my skin, because I love the look of clear, fair skin. The lightest Colorstay shade might match the darker, more blushed areas of my skin, but it isn't what I like. This foundation may be light, but it isn't pale or fair, and as someone who is, I need that. Blended down my neck, it just makes me look kind of dirty if scrutinized, partly because it's so over the top pink. Yikes.
I'm thinking of investing in one of the white or ultra-pale Illamasqua Rich Liquid shades to use as a mixer (and maybe beef up the coverage a bit), because color problems are a major dealbreaker for me.
If you want a matte medium coverage liquid foundation, and you're a Revlon represented color, this stuff deserves your attention. If you want a matte full coverage foundation, or you fall outside of Revlon's shade range, you might not find it here. But a lot of folks do find it here, which I really can't explain, so whatever, maybe I'm crazy and you should try it anyway. It certainly lasts all day on my dry skin, and didn't feel dry or exacerbate my dryness or anything.

I was on the hunt for a good foundation to cover the redness in my entire t-zone. I've always had trouble finding a colour match for my complexion and great coverage. I was going to go to the make-up counter in at The Bay and try something high end, but the review were pretty good on this one so I gave it shot. I'm so glad that I did! I've been using it for a few weeks now and it has not broken me out. It gives me great coverage when applied with a foundation brush (I use the Spa Resource foundation brush) and the lightest shade is a perfect match to my skin tone. I will definitely re-purchase this one!

I purchased this foundation by chance -- I was an avid Mac foundation user, but on a long trip I was out of foundation & there wasn't a Mac store or reseller nearby so I was left in a supermarket to buy foundation. I absolutely LOVE this foundation! It's not much different from my Mac foundation, has excellent full coverage, and lasts.
I give 4/5 because the only deduction is it dries quickly when you apply it so you have to work relatively fast. Also, it took me a few tries to get the right amount -- it is thicker and less "smooth & creamy" than other high-end foundations I've owned, so I've learned to use less and finding the right amount was kind of tricky. But when I found the right amount, it feels great on my face and the coverage is great for my skin that is acne-prone.
I wish this liquid foundation was pump-able. Sometimes I spill out a little too much when pouring it which is annoying. But, for the price of the product I can't complain too much.
One other note -- I use this product in Sand Beige which at first I thought was a tad too dark but ended up working great with my fair, *slightly* tanned skin.
So glad I found this product! I can use the money I save on foundation to apply towards high-end eyeshadows and other fun things :)

This foundation definitely lives up to its name--it really does stay! I wore it to a wedding once where I cried, danced, and sweated a ton, and by the end of the night it was still there! It's also full coverage, so it's great when you want to look absolutely flawless. It also leaves just the slightest dewy glow, which is great.
Now onto the not-so-great stuff. The color selection really isn't all that great. I understand that it's a drugstore brand, so the color selection really isn't going to be terrific, but still. For those of us with pinkish undertones, I don't think there are really any great options--they all look pretty yellow-undertoned to me. Also, it's kind of hard to blend in. I guess it's hard to get staying power and blendability in one foundation, though.
Overall, it's a nice foundation with staying power, so long as you are able to find a color that suits you.

this is my HG full coverage foundation. Applied with a wet sponge, the coverage is lighter and more dewy (more medium coverage). This lasts on me for 14+ hours, completely matte. This doesnt break me out, doesnt transfer onto phone or hands, and I dont even need to set it with powder to keep it matte all day. Basically, its amazing (and only $14 at walmart). Revlon also doesnt test on animals, which is important to me.
Only setback: The bottle. Needs a pump! Also, the lightest shade is too pink-based and light, but the next one up is too yellow based. this may just be the selection at the stores though.

I can't express how much I love this foundation! For a few months now I've been using MUF foundation and it worked pretty good with my skin but throughout the day I still needed to blot. With this foundation I don't need to blot. It may be different for other people but for me it works fine. I got the sand beige color and it's the closest foundation to my skin color I've found. My face stays matte the whole day while at school, work, and during this hot weather we've been having. Recommend this to all you other oily type skins out there. I absolutely love it.

Man arrested for stealing T-shirt from Fresno jail
FRESNO, Calif. - FRESNO, Calif. (AP) - A 20-year-old Mendota man is locked up once again after being charged with stealing his prisoner T-shirt from a previous stint at the Fresno County Jail.
Israel Ramirez was arrested last week on suspicion of child abuse and possession of marijuana. After he was released from jail last Thursday, police say he nearly caused a collision while riding his bike.
Deputies then noticed that he was wearing a T-shirt with "prisoner" printed on the back. Police say the shirt was from the jail and Ramirez had concealed it under his clothing when he was released.
Ramirez was then sent back to jail and booked on felony charges of receiving stolen property.

Volleyball: OC drops two
Olympic College's volleyball team dropped two games at the Highline Tournament on Wednesday.
Columbia Basin beat the Rangers 25-21, 25-20 and Bellevue beat OC 31-32, 25-17, 15-11.
"We didn't finish," said OC coach Beth Donnelly, noting that outsiders hitters Crystal Cabo from Idaho and Michelle Cook from North Mason paced the Rangers' offense.
OC had big leads in both games against Columbia Basin. "We got a little complacent," Donnelly said, "and there's no reason to get confident right now."
After a momentum-grabbing 32-31 win over Bellevue, "our servers crumbled," said the coach.

This venue is closed.
Given New York's obsession with fusion food, you might think Indian-Chinese cuisine was invented here. The combination actually dates back centuries to the first Chinese migrations to India, when a new land's seductive spices were applied to the traditional cooking of the old. Mirch is Hindi for spicy, and it's not held in reserve here. The pickled green peppers on the table are only required for the most acclimated of palates, as even pedestrian options like wonton soup are fiery. Crispy okra is dusted with red pepper, lightly battered, and served in a holder usually associated with french fries. Chinese chili paste joins Indian curry leaves in the smoky house chicken appetizer, which is softened by a subtle layer of yogurt. Crispy Szechuan lamb, twice cooked in red and green chilies, stands out among the meat, which steers around both pork and beef in deference to Hindu and Muslim beliefs. A mostly Desi crowd attests to the authenticity of chef and owner Vikram Lulla's creations. The restaurant's small downstairs and expanded second floor have recently been renovated. Naturally, Chinese touches abound: Tasteful celadon-shaded wallpaper with a bamboo motif unites with paper lanterns and framed dragons. The space can get loud, but that's to be expected when cooking generates this much enthusiasm.Recommended Dishes
Crispy okra, $8.99; Mirch 65, $12.99; chili garlic noodles with chicken, $11.99; crispy Szechuan lamb, $16.99

Glasgow bike shop lends Malawi's cyclists new bikes for Commonwealth Games
Bikes African riders brought with them were in too poor a state for competition
Previous News
Two cyclists from Malawi will be riding in road events at the Commonwealth Games on new bikes thanks to the generosity of a local bike shop after the bicycles they brought with them were found to be in too poor a state of repair to be used in competition.
Billy Bilsland Cycles, founded by the eponymous former Peugeot and Raleigh pro who also competed as an amateur in the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico City, decided to lend the African country two bikes, one a Cérvelo time trial model, after the team brought in their existing bikes for repair.
Billy's son Neil, who now runs the Glasgow shop, told STV: "Our major concern is they travel all this way to race in the Friendly Games and their equipment would fail.
"So although we did fix both bikes, doing them a good deal, after a few days thinking about it we thought, 'We can really help Malawi out a little bit more,' so we've supplied them bikes to race both the time trial and the road race."
The country has two cyclists competing at Glasgow 2014, with both Missi Thomas Kathumba and Mataya Tsoyo due to take part in road and mountain bike events.
Both they and their coach are based in Malawi's second largest city, Blantyre – founded by Church of Scotland missionaries in 1876, and named after the town just south east of Glasgow that was the birthplace of the explorer David Livingstone.

Sometimes you see something that gives one a feeling that there is some goodness out there. There was no need for Billy Bilsland Cycles to step in but it did. The next time you order the new wonderbit gizmo from WiReactShiny, the internet supplier(s), just consider the support you get from the LBS, the likes of Billy Bilsland Cycles.

Billy Bilsland's is a great shop. Well worth trekking across the city to get my bikes sorted. They're also great at looking after the bikes I haven't bought from them too.

Absolutely brilliant shop. We walked in shivering and soaked minutes before closing time, ~700 miles into LEJOG to try and get a replacement rear wheel.
They had none suitable so sold us one from a complete bike for a decent price.
They also made us some coffees, gave the rest of our bikes a quick tune up and allowed us to use their computer to find some alternative accommodation for the night.
Oh, and they stayed open about an hour later than advertised.
Highly recommended.

I don't get how Beltran could have ever had that kind of pull. Frakking Harry Kim was more important to the show than Chakotay was.
an interview clip on YouTube with Robert Beltran discussing what he told Brannon Braga -- definitely chest-thumping as he proclaimed that since Braga was dating Jeri Ryan, 'I guess that ends Chakotay's chances with her' or something similarly silly.
I'll try to find it later. Of course, even Beltran's proclamations might not mean terribly much. After all, he was an actor, not a producer. But the insinuation from him, at least, is that it happened because he spoke up about Chakotay's underutilized nature and got Seven of Nine's character involved in the shenanigans that time. Then Braga obliged.

Inconsistent firing of PreDestroyViewMapEvent

This is because in the first case, you are doing a POSTBACK, which
causes the navigation to happen during the invoke application phase,
which changes the viewId stored in the FacesContext during the POSTBACK
lifecycle run.
In the second case, you're doing a POST REDIRECT GET, which encompases
multiple runs through the lifecycle, each with its own FacesContext
Let's look at the HTTP traffic in both cases.
Client Server
POST index.xhtml run lifecycle phases APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES upto
and including INVOKE_APPLICATION on one
During INVOKE_APPLICATION, a new UIViewRoot is
created as a result of the navigation. It
happens have the same viewId because you
manually specify "index" as your action, but
it's a new UIViewRoot just the same. When this
viewId is populated into the FacesContext, the
viewMap is destroyed.
Run RENDER_RESPONSE phase, send response to client
Client Server
POST index.xhtml same as above, but do not run RENDER_RESPONSE
phase. Instead send 302 redirect.
GET index.html This is a new request, with a new FacesContext,
so we don't get the viewmap destroyed event.

I've observed that in POST run of PRG when redirect 302 is sent, PreDestroyViewMapEvent is fired every time except when redirect is targeting the same page. So, why is that? Why PreDestroyViewMapEvent isn't fired only when PRG is targeting the same page from which it has originated? Hope I've made more sense this time. :)

Component of: acetolactate synthase / acetohydroxybutanoate synthase (extended summary available)
IlvI is the large catalytic subunit of the bifunctional acetohydroxybutanoate synthase /acetolactate synthase (IlvI/H, AHAS III) which carries out both the first step in valine biosynthesis and the second step in isoleucine biosynthesis. The IlvI/H protein complex catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate and oxobutanoate into 2-aceto-2-hydroxy-butyrate and the conversion of pyruvate into 2-acetolactate. Both reactions generate carbon dioxide as a product. [De74, Gollop89, Barak87, Vyazmensky96, Weinstock92]
C-terminal and N-terminal ilvH mutants were constructed and used to determine the minimum activation peptide necessary to activate IlvI [Zhao13]. Interactions between large and small subunits of different AHAS isozymes were investigated. IlvI could be activated by IlvM just as well as IlvH. [Vyazmensky09]
Isolated IlvI has only 5% of the molar activity of its holoenzyme. However, isolated IlvI has similar substrate specificity and similar cofactor dependence as its holoenzyme. Assembly of the holoenzyme requires FAD. [Vyazmensky96]

Subunit of: acetolactate synthase / acetohydroxybutanoate synthase
Synonyms: acetolactate synthase III, acetohydroxy acid synthase III, AHAS III, acetohydroxybutanoate synthase III
Subunit composition of acetolactate synthase / acetohydroxybutanoate synthase = [IlvI]2[IlvH]2
Acetohydroxy acid synthase III (AHAS III) is one of two functional isozymes catalyzing the decarboxylation of pyruvate and transfer of the resulting acetaldehyde group to either pyruvate or α-ketobutyrate, producing α-acetolactate for the valine pathway and α-aceto-α-hydroxybutyrate for the isoleucine pathway. This is the first common step in the biosynthesis of the branched-chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine. A third isozyme, AHAS II, is not functional in E. coli K-12 due to the presence of a frame shift mutation in the gene encoding the large subunit, ilvG. [Neidhardt96]
In the presence of both pyruvate and α-ketobutyrate, AHAS III produces approximately 40-fold more acetohydroxybutyrate than acetolactate, while AHAS I shows no product preference [Barak87, Gollop89].
The differential regulation of enzymatic activity and expression of the isozymes has direct physiological consequences and has been under intense study. The end products of the branched-chain amino acid biosynthesis pathways all inhibit AHAS III activity, although inhibition by valine is most significant [Gollop89]. Both AHAS I and III are inhibited by valine [De78]. Activity of AHAS III is only partially inhibited by leucine, while AHAS I activity can be almost completely inhibited [Gollop83].
