Skip to comments.Paper, plastic or bring your own (California Shopping Bag BAN)
Posted on 08/26/2008 6:19:16 AM PDT by ProtectOurFreedom
California, with its long coastline littered with white bags, needs a better approach, one that encourages people to make informed choices between disposable and reusable bags. Here are the options:
A piecemeal, voluntary approach by stores.
A hard-line approach, such as a ban.
A simple, market-based solution: a consumption tax. Ireland has taken this route. Since 2002, consumers who forget to bring a bag are charged a 15-cent tax at checkout. Before the tax, Ireland's 3.9 million people used 1.2 billion bags per year. Now it's 230 million. About $9.6 million was raised from the tax in the first year, earmarked for a fund for environmental projects such as recycling refrigerators.
A bill before the California Legislature would adopt Ireland's market-based approach. Beginning in January 2010, Assembly Bill 2769 (by Assemblyman Lloyd Levine, D-Van Nuys) would require California stores to collect a 25-cent tax on all disposable bags, paper or plastic. Stores would get 5 cents for every plastic bag and 10 cents for every paper bag. The balance would go to a Bag Pollution Fund to clean up the litter caused by single-use carryout bags and encourage the reduced use of single-use disposable bags.
The bill has the support of the grocery and retail industries, which currently subsidize the use of disposable bags.
AB 2769 would provide shoppers with a choice: Bring reusable bags or pay the true cost of a disposable bag. That should shift market behavior and help the environment, too. The Senate should pass AB 2769, and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger should sign it.

Have you noticed how leftists now couch all their totalitarian initiatives as "simple, market based" and as "consumer choice" as a way to fool us sheep?
If charging lazy people for not bringing their own shopping bags helps stem the tide of refuse we generate everyday, that ain't necessarily a bad thing.
Though, it should be something the stores do without the Gubmint getting in on the act.
We are required to put our garbage in plastic bags. I use my grocery bags. So now I have to go out and buy garbage bags?? This is a marketing scheme....and it's stupid.
If charging lazy people for not bringing their own shopping bags helps stem the tide of refuse we generate everyday, that ain't necessarily a bad thing.
Lazy? I actually like getting the plastic bags from the store so that I use them as garbage bags.
Please step over to the window and pay the "speech with attitude" assessment.
I do the same thing — use plastic bags as garbage bags. And I'm already green — I have green eyes. :-)
Those d@mn flimsy plastic grocery bags are all over the place around me - stuck to signs on the side of the roads, in the weeds, up in the trees, all in the woods around the river and everywhere else. They're a mess and an eyesore. It costs me tax money for Public Works to clean them up. As far as I'm concerned this falls under the heading of "even a stopped clock is right twice a day."
Plastic bags I receive at the grocery store are recycled by taking the bags to the local food bank. The food bank is always looking for more plastic bags.
But I reuse the bags as trash bags.
The stores I go to, give us the bags. Keeping them in the car and bringing them to the store is stupid....how?
"California, with its long coastline littered with white bags,"
I question that statement. I live near the coast in CA and don't see grocery bags littering it. We use each bag at least two or three times, for lunch (carrying, NOT eating) and to line small trash containers.
We usually took the bags when we were doing bulk shopping, but declined them when we were making the mid-week purchases of fresh produce and milk. This gave us the bags we needed to collect trash, but still helped us cut down on the use with the small incentive offered by Daiei.
Not talking about HDPE plastic bags. The bags I speak of are a woven synthetic material that have handles. They fold up flat to the size of a paperback, unfold to about 1'x1'x2' and hold a lot of weight.
The one I use at my local wine merchant is compartmented and they gave it to me gratis as long as I bring it back to use for carrying my purchases.
I know the HDPE plastic bags we're used to are handy for trash, etc....but what did we do before we had them...say 1970?
How the heck is a tax a "market-based approach"?
It is a "government-revenue-based approach".
Awesome. That's what I call thinking.
Why do you assume that people who justifiably hate the bag tax are lazy? What if somebody just doesn't believe the enviromentalist nonsense about plastic bags destroying the planet? Landfills run deep.
It must be something in the water where you live. One thing I do not see up in the People's Republic of Washington are plastic bags littered around everywhere; and our stupid bag tax hasn't even been implemented yet. Of course, that didn't stop "bag pollution" from being used as an argument toward our 20-cent per bag tax that recently got passed. The way these folks talk, it's a wonder they can get to their car in the morning through the sea of discarded plastic bags that they're forced to machete their way through.
can I bring my bags back to the store and get my deposit back?
Maybe so, but the bottom line is that the implementation of the use of those plastic bags around me actually does cost me tax money because of the extra work that is expended in cleaning them up. So on that basis it's legitimate for the government to collect money for their use.
Now, it makes more sense to me to tax the grocery stores handing them out. Leave it up to the grocery stores to determine if they'll eat the tax or pass it along to their customers.
Isn't the bag cost included in the price of the goods the store sells, just like salaries, utility costs, taxes and every other expense the business incurs?
And tax what is legal.
Not too long ago, I heard a comedian say, "If the democrats could catch you in the act, they'd tax masturbation."
First thing hubby said-screamed to me in fact-yesterday on hearing this...
We've gotta get out of this state!
I thought he was hollering about yet another stupid gun control law like microstamping or the smart gun.
All the things that need fixing and they're suggesting something as idiotic as this?
No wonder our state is broke.
You know, I was down there last month and didn't see that litter.
Kraft paper. Useful for many things.
People in california are a little slow they haven't heard of biodegradable plastic yet(UPS uses it in shipping)
There is no plastic bag problem in my neck of the woods (Simi Valley), nor in my parents' (Malibu). I pay a private company for my waste removal.
Why stop with plastic bags? I've seen candy bar wrappers, Doritos bags, etc... on the Freeways more than I've seen plastic bags.
I'm sure you'll support a tax on those as well.
It frosts me to think that we get charged the stupid CRV on bottles and cans. They all end up in my Recycling Bin. Just a way for the government to make more money off of us. Has nothing to do with being green. And they have the gall to put the CRV value BEFORE tax. So they collect taxes on the damn CRV as well.
This is all a scam folks.
Of course not. There's a special "Employees 'Voluntary' Bag Fund" that all workers 'contribute' to. It's used to purchase the stock of bags used at the checkout counters. All Senior Management is exempt so the burden only falls on the lowly peons. I guess you never worked in the grocery industry, so it's easy to understand why you never heard of this fund.
I go to a Sam's store and get my purchases in a cart without any bags or boxes. Next door at Walmart I get everything put in small plastic bags, too many to count. At a regular grocery store I have a choice of paper or plastic. On my last trip the "sacker" didn't know the difference between paper and plastic, the checker had to explain it to him. She also had to show him how to double sack.
I'm sure that the stores would approve of anything that brought them more money. A fee for sacks? I can just imagine each can or box in a sack of its own.
A few stores have a place to dispose of used plastic bags. That helps responsible people dispose of the bags.
I just told you. Our dumpster is full of garbage in the used plastic grocery bags.
You are assuming that the tax money collected would actually be used to clean them up.... the government doesn't have a very good record in this regard.
If they were really serious about cleaning them up, they might offer a bounty on them, the way they did for bear or wolf skins.
That did work pretty well, as I recall, and it made compliance voluntary, which I think is a key part of the liberty we are supposed to have in this country.
I have a neighbor, a really nice guy, who doesn't officially run his business from his house but his employees gather there often during the day. The neighbor is from a Central American Country and all of his employees are from south of the border. When they have a sandwich, candy bar, bag of chips, etc. they drop the wrapper or container where they stand. Cans, bottles, cups the same when they finish. It must be a cultural thing since another neighbor from south of the border does the same thing.
I know others can be just as bad but my yard didn't look like a dump site before these people moved here. Cleaning up trash is part enforcement and part education. Don't know how we get the education part in play.
By your reasoning, a city with a broken sewer system would be within its rights and fulfilling its responsibility to the public by restricting the amount of food you consume and the days you can do it.
Somehow everybody seems to think that it is litterers who carelessly toss these plastic bags out windows, on their lawns and yours, carry them to beaches and float them off like message bottles and such; the reality is that sloppy trash disposal allows the majority of these flimsy sail planes to escape from the confines of the trash trucks as they collect at houses and businesses and then dump their loads in improperly maintained landfills.
In reality the blame largely lies with the people who run the trash system but they would rather find a new source of revenue to cover their own added costs than to better run the collection and disposal of these plastic bags.
I hear you. The contractors I've used on our home (kitchen remodel, bathroom, and floors) has been quite mindful of cleaning up after themselves.
On the other hand, our neighbor has had people redo their driveway. They've drank beer and dropped cans in OUR yard.
No government tax fazes folks like these. It just affects the VAST MAJORITY of those of us who are law abiding as usual!
I say that most people are quite respectful, do not litter and put their trash where it belongs. There's a very small percentage of the population that are jerks as usual.
It's the same argument that the gun grabbers use ultimately. Some people will commit crimes with a gun. So because of those criminals, the rest of us law abiding types will suffer.
While the criminals continue to commit crimes undeterred by it all.
A. What, exactly, IS the "true cost" of a disposable bag?
B. Who determines said cost? The Sierra Club? As if we'd BELIEVE them??
C. Since the "disposable" bags are recyclable, is their use really a "cost" or is it ultimately a benefit?
Why not rather put a nickle return value on each one, like with glass bottles and aluminum cans?? The folks would bring thhe bags back and dispose of them at the stores, and the bums would self-enlist as the California Bag Recovery Team to pick up any strays.
It's worked so well with aluminum cans that suburban areas have occasional problems with the homeless coming through in the early morning hours on trash day raiding people's recycle bins for them.
So why not plastic bags, too?? It'd be far and away preferable to yet another damnable tax with a high-minded name, and an infernal final disposition.
I hate 'em anyway. They leak, the handles tear, they hurt your hands when carrying something heavy, they collapse in the car and spill the contents, causing stuff to roll around on the floor of the car. They're useless to reuse, except as filler when shipping something. I think they should be banned altogether.
From your response I assume you (a) don't have a dog, or (b) don't walk the poor introverted critter.
More to the point, but off topic; remember when "they" were pushing plastic because it didn't kill trees?
Even more to the point; how come they make expensive (blue) tarpaulins that dissolve in 18 months but can't make a cheap grocery bag or six pack carrier that goes away in less than a millennium?
No dog, but I do have a cat, and the grocery bags are useless for disposing of cat patties from the litter box. The litter (and worse) leaks through the holes in those lousy bags. They're worse than nothing, because you think you have the stuff contained, but then you have to clean up the floor where the stuff leaked through on the way to the garbage can.
Even if I drove (using gas — and more $$$ out of my pocket) to my nearest recycling center I would never get back the tax that was charged on top of the CRV.
As for product wrappers, there doesn't have to be an alternative. As something like the California Redemption Value argument illustrates. All they need to do is have some petty tax on top for every product sold in a wrapper. We didn't eliminate cans did we?
Regardless of the minutiae of these tertiary arguments that we can go back and forth on — the basic premise that the government can change behavior by taxing you 15cents for a grocery bag is bunk. And I think you know it.
All this is, is a way to collect revenue for the State. Even from those who are responsible with their garbage.
I would never have expected to argue these points on a conservative website. Plenty of people have come up with great alternatives (the bounty idea sounds wonderful) that fit the conservative mold better than just adding a "tax" to generate revenue that ends up in the general fund to go to some other socialist program.

Smaller than expected (that's what... nvm) 07/05/2011
This review is from: Rosewill RNX-N180PCe Wireless Adapter IEEE 802.11b/g/n PCI Express Revision 1.1 Up to 300Mbps Wireless Data Rates
First off, the low-profile bracket is definitely not backwards as it went it just fine...
The card is very small (about 2.5x2.5), comes with 2 RP-SMA jacks, and 2 antennas. This is nice since it allows you to use 1 for a basic 2db, and another for a 12 or 16 (in case you have 2 networks, or want it far away from the AP).
Installation was a BREEZE. Had to change the bracket since it comes with the full-size PCI bracket pre-attached, but changing it was as simple as it gets. it even came with 2 EXTRA screws in case you drop or lose one(?).
Software install was again as easy as it gets. put in the CD, click Windows or Linux, and hit next a few times. Range is decent with the antennas it came with and speed/quality seems pretty good.
NONE. I haven't been running to long, but so far so good.
Other Thoughts:
Overall this is a perfect card for ANY computer. Windows, Linux, slim-line or full tower. The card will work on motherboards up to 5 or 6 years old (given it has a PCIe slot).

Drugs and Rights by Douglas Husak
Book DescriptionThis important book was the first serious work of philosophy to address the question: Do adults have a moral right to use drugs for recreational purposes? Many critics of the 'war on drugs' denounce law enforcement as counterproductive and ineffective. Douglas Husak argues that the 'war on drugs' violates the moral rights of adults who want to use drugs for pleasure, and that criminal laws against such use are incompatible with moral rights. This is not a polemical tract but a scrupulously argued work of philosophy that takes full account of all available data concerning drug use in the United States today. The author is careful to describe the properties a recreational drug would have to possess before the state would be justified in prohibiting it. Since criminal laws against the use of recreational drugs are justified neither by the harm users cause to themselves nor by the harm users cause to each other, Professor Husak concludes that such laws are, in almost all cases, unjustified.

Ignorance of Law, Hardback (September 2016)
This book argues that ignorance of law should usually be a complete excuse from criminal liability. It defends this conclusion by invoking two presumptions: first, the content of criminal law should conform to morality; second, mistakes of fact and mistakes of law should be treated symmetrically.
Philosophy of Criminal Law, Hardback (March 2010)
This volume collects 17 of Douglas Husak's influential essays in criminal law theory. The essays span Husak's original and provocative contributions to the central topics in the field, including the grounds of criminal liability, relative culpability, the role of defences, and the justification of punishment.
Overcriminalization, Paperback (November 2009)
Husak's primary goal is to defend a set of constraints to limit the authority of states to enact and enforce criminal offenses. In addition, Husak situates this endeavor in criminal theory as traditionally construed. This book urges the importance of this topic in the real world, while most Anglo-American legal philosophers have neglected it.
Legalization of Drugs, Paperback (September 2005)» View all books by Douglas Husak
This book presents two philosophical views on the legalization of drugs.

I am able to crash Mozilla pretty reliably when I am loading GMail and suddenly going offline.
I can reproduce it on 1.8.0.x, 1.8.1 and trunk branch.
But it only happens in combination with the livehttp headers extension:
To reproduce:
- Install live http headers extension, restart
- Load gmail.com (you need to have an account an be logged in)
- Suddenly go offline (by using File->Work Offline)
- Press reload a couple of times
It seems to be timing dependant. It seems you need to go offline when the back button gets activated (when you are able to press back).
Talkback ID: TB22184979X
nsDOMClassInfo::PreCreate XPCWrappedNative::GetNewOrUsed XPCConvert::NativeInterface2JSObject XPCConvert::NativeData2JS XPCWrappedNative::CallMethod
This might very well be the same bug as bug 323641. Marking a dependancy on that bug.
Better way to reproduce (you still need Live http headers installed):
- Load Gmail
- Go offline
- Press the back button
- Press reload a couple of times
From talkback ID: 22767488
Tryed to download FlashFxp from download.com. Reproducible: always. click on the "download now" link:
Indeed, this always crashes for me when clicking on the download now link, so this is a much more reliable way of crashing with the livehttpheaders extension.
Was this a regression shortly before you filed it? I see nsDOMClassInfo::PreCreate crashes starting to appear in Firefox2 (1.8 branch) talkback on 2006-08-08 (although at an average rate around 1 per day, so hard to tell exactly).
The user comments and the stack signature below the top seem a bit similar to bug 317283.
(In reply to comment #3)
> Was this a regression shortly before you filed it?
Yeah, apparently it is (although 1.8.7pre branch also crashes for me).
The regression range I get for both trunk and 1.8 branch is between 2006-07-27 and 2006-07-28.
Bonsai link trunk:
Bonsai link 1.8 branch:
The patch for bug 345991 was checked in that day on 1.8 branch and on trunk. The patch was also checked in on 1.8.0.x branch, so that could explain why my 126.96.36.199pre (2006-08-24) branch build is also crashing.
I'm adding topcrash, although it's a little borderline for "top".
I just verified in my debug trunk build that backing out the patch from bug 345991 does fix the crash.
Too late for 22.214.171.124, but nominating for 184.108.40.206 and adding regression keyword. Let's try to get a handle on this for the next release. Backing out bug 345991 has been suggested, but I wonder if there is a better way...
If people think this is a common enough case, we could relnote it.
Jay, this is a topcrash regression on the 1.8.0.x branch. In my opinion we should hold 184.108.40.206 for fixing this one way or another; worst-case we do back out bug 345991. I plan to spend tonight working on this in hopes of finding something better.
Note that I think that unlike security fixes for old problems (which I can understand slipping to the next security release if we want to release on a regular cycle), regressions should NOT get slipped once found; otherwise people will be afraid to update to the security releases we make...
Probably not really a topcrash -- it's 42 crashes across 14 users in Firefox2 nightlies (including the Fx2b2 release, although only a few there; most of the spike in nightlies has been since then).
Boris, I can't see any [@ nsDOMClassInfo::PreCreate] crashes listed at the firefox 126.96.36.199 talkback analysis page:
Created attachment 237036 [details] [diff] [review]
Proposed fix
This fixes the bug for me. When splitwindow landed, there was code added to ensure inner windows for gets. This code wasn't on for XPCNativeWrappers, however. All this patch does is give XPCNativeWrapper parity with the raw Window object in terms of whether we force creation of an inner. We continue to not forward the get to the inner in the XPCNativeWrapper case.
This fixes bug 323641 (where we always had an XPCNativeWrapper because we were performing a content access from chrome) and this bug (where we started getting an XPCNativeWrapper because of bug 345991).

Application-Aware Network Scheduler
3x faster communication.
Using a novel coflow scheduling algorithm, Varys minimizes communication times of data-parallel applications without starving anyone.
2x more often on time.
Varys uses admission control to support soft deadlines for timely completion of most coflows.
Informed cluster sharing.
Using Varys, coexisting applications, frameworks, or users avoid collateral damage when optimizing respective communication performance.
No changes to user jobs.
Transfers data from sources to destinations without tweaking the number of connections or playing with bytes-in-flight in each connection.
Varys is an open source network manager/scheduler that aims to improve communication performance of Big Data applications. Its target applications/jobs include those written in Spark, Hadoop, YARN, BSP, and similar data-parallel frameworks.
Varys provides a simple API that allows data-parallel frameworks to express their communication requirements as coflows with minimal changes to the framework. Using coflows as the basic abstraction of network scheduling, Varys implements novel schedulers either to make applications faster or to make time-restricted applications complete within deadlines.
Enabling Varys in all the applications written in a framework can be as simple as changing the send and recv calls (or their equivalents) to their analogous put and get methods in the coflow API, which are exposed through the VarysClient class.
Existing user-written jobs can take advantage of coflows without any modifications.
|Method Signatures in Scala
|Calling Process
|def registerCoflow(coflowDesc: CoflowDescription): String
|def putObject[T](objectId: String, obj: T, coflowId: String, size:Long)
|def getObject[T](objectId: String, coflowId: String): T
|def unregisterCoflow(coflowId: String)
Varys is most effective when applied to a number of concurrently-running coflows from different jobs. We have evaluated Varys by deploying it on a 100-node Amazon EC2 cluster and running traces collected from a 3000-node production Hive/Hadoop cluster at Facebook, and we compare Varys's performance with that of TCP fair sharing without using the coflow abstraction.
More details on different aspects of Varys's performance—comparisons with newer per-flow prioritization schemes or behavior with increasing load—can be found in accompanying research papers.
Despite the differences of end goals and/or programmability among data-parallel frameworks, their communication is structured, takes place between groups of machines in successive computation stages, and often involves a collection of parallel flows. More importantly, communication in these applications exhibit the all-or-nothing property—a communication stage cannot finish until all its flows have completed.
The coflow abstraction represents such collections of parallel flows to convey job-specific communication requirements – for example, minimizing completion time or meeting a deadline – to the network and enables application-aware network scheduling. Currently, we assume that the amount of data each flow needs to transfer is known before it starts. The flows of a coflow are independent in that the input of a flow does not depend on the output of another in the same coflow, and the endpoints of these flows can be in one or more machines. Effectively, one can consider a coflow to be a data-parallel network job.
Examples of coflows include the shuffle between the mappers and the reducers in MapReduce and the communication stage in the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model. In fact, coflows can express most communication patterns between successive computation stages of data-parallel applications.
Finally, traditional point-to-point communication is also a coflow with a single flow.

|Shuffle in dataflow pipelines

Varys schedules coflows using heuristics developed to solve the recently discovered concurrent open shop scheduling with coupled resources problem. Similar to most scheduling problems, optimal coflow scheduling is computationally intractable.
From 10000 feet, the algorithm proceeds in two steps: Varys keeps an ordered list of coflows, preempting whenever necessary. Next, it uses an algorithm to allocate minimum required bandwidth to each flow of a coflow to complete all of its flows together.
In essence, Varys minimizes interleaving across coflows to minimize coflow completion times (CCT), while sacrificing flow-level fairness or flow completion times (FCT) that are not correlated to a job's completion time.
Consider two coflows C1 and C2; C1 has three flows transferring 1, 2, and 4 units of data, while C2 has two flows transferring 2 data units each.
Per-flow schemes focus on fair sharing or decreasing FCT, without caring about application's completion. Varys does the opposite.
More details on Varys, its performance, the coflow abstraction, and Varys's predecessor system (Orchestra) can be found in the following papers.
Varys also exposes APIs to find the machines with the most and the least network usage – getBestRxMachines and getBestTxMachines – that can be used to perform, for example, network-aware replica placement in HDFS as outlined in the following paper.
Is Varys a new networking protocol? Does it depend on a new one?
No. Varys runs in the application layer on top of underlying transport protocols (e.g., TCP). No changes to your hardware or OS is required. Except for minor changes to the frameworks, user jobs can transparently take advantage of Varys as well.
Varys seems to have put and get methods. Is Varys a storage system? Does it implement one underneath?
No, Varys does not have/need its own storage system. It sends and receives from user process (if data is in-memory) or from disk (if data is already stored there).
Will it always improve performance?
Varys will improve performance most of the time, specially when you have a multi-user, multi-framework cluster. Currently, overheads due to Varys's centralized design sometimes make it less useful for sub-second jobs and cause deadline misses on rare occasions. We are working on both directions: to make it more efficient by design and to better engineer the current system.
Which frameworks support Varys?
We are working on ensuring Varys support in Spark and plan on enabling Hadoop MapReduce 2.0 as well. We will appreciate your help in any of these endeavors.
Which languages does Varys support?
Currently Varys provides an interface only to JVM-based languages. It can support non-JVM languages as well, but we need your help to implement the language-specific interface to Varys.
What license is Varys under?
Varys is under the Apache 2.0 license.

A Thanksgiving Parody
Timmy was a bright and imaginative ten-year old. His mind was like a sponge. Everything he read or heard was tucked away neatly in his sense of how it was. He loved to tell a story to anybody who would listen. For him the story was all in the telling. It did not seem to bother him that he did not always get his facts straight, or that he didn't even put them in the right context. He was often heard telling his friends some of the tallest tales you can imagine.

I think this is good alternative for people who don't like the greasy/slimy texture of petrolatum. It just kind of goes on dry and waxy (hence the beeswax) but not at all oily and shiny.But does it work? For me, not really. It seems to dry my lips out more, but that's what usually happens with minty ingredients for me. So I think it's nice, but not for me. continued >>

Sara wraps up our year of meeting your Atascocita Branch staff. I hope you all have enjoyed getting to know a little bit more about the people who work here at the library. Maybe you've found someone who shares your interest in travel, mysteries, or crafts!
Name: Sara
Title: Adult Services Librarian
Time working at branch: Eight exciting years: five as a library technician and three as a librarian.
The connection between early literacy and brain development has long been established. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, ... early brain and child development has revealed that modifiable factors in a child's early experience can greatly affect that child's learning trajectory.
Our weekly family time program has been developed to foster early learning and a love for reading. Each week, I share some of my favorite picture books, and have several family activities which will help support school readiness.
Checkout the spooktacular witches broom that the children made yesterday. Many of the families who attended the Halloween party had requested the directions for the craft. I have attached a pdf file of the instructions that Ms. Dawn created; this project was adapted from a blog written by momdot.com.
Next Monday night, children and their families are welcome to join Twilight Tales at 7 pm. We will be creating another fun project, and this program does not require registration.

Does what it claims to do
Got this for my aunt who has really dry lips, and she loved it. She says her lips are a lot softer and smoother ever since she started using it. So, on the upside, she was really happy with it; on the downside, I guess this means that I have to buy it for her again when she runs out. LOL.

Lip balm
The price is affordable and the quality is great! It has a nice, subtle scent to it. It rehydrates and softens my lips right away once applied. I would recommend this to anyone and will repurchase it.

Does what it should
I have a very sensitive lips and can easily dried up. This lip balm is my life saver. I use it every night before bed and will woke up with a smooth, hydrated and silky lips. The lipstick would stay perfectly on my lips even without a lip primer since my lips is well taken care of by this lipbalm.

Very moisturizing, but....
I love how moisturizing it is and it has no weird or funny taste that I dislike. However, it broke the 3rd time I used. I was so shocked as I didn't expect my lip products to go broken that soon... I'll have to find ways to fix it..

This Sephora lip balm is amazing, has kept my lips hydrated throughout the day. Don't leave the house without it. It's doing the exact job it's meant to. Great for everyday use and great to use for priming of lips before applying a colour. The pricing is great too! Amazing product for the price.

The von Kármán Lecture Series: 2017
Cassini: The Grand Finale Begins
May 4 & 5
NASA's flagship outer planets mission, Cassini, enters the final phase of its historic mission of exploration and discovery in April 2017. The spacecraft will plunge 22 times through the narrow gap between Saturn and its innermost rings - a completely unexplored region around Saturn. During this final chapter of the mission, Cassini will get closer to the planet than ever before, providing new insights about Saturn's interior, and possibly revealing previously hidden details about the nature of Saturn's magnetic field. Cassini scientists hope the spacecraft will be able to directly sample particles from the innermost rings and gases from the upper atmosphere, and the views will be like nothing ever seen before.
Cassini's project manager and project scientist, who last presented a preview of these activities in Sept. 2016, will once again share the excitement of the mission in the von Karman lecture. Maize and Spilker will review images and activities from the "Ring-Grazing Orbits," the November-to-April mission phase that led up to the Grand Finale, and describe the thrill of the recently completed first plunge through the ring-planet gap on April 26.
The talk will also preview the coming end of mission, a final plunge into Saturn's atmosphere, on Sept. 15.
The Cassini mission is a cooperative undertaking by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian space agency (ASI). For more details about Cassini and its Grand Finale, visit the mission website: https://saturn.jpl.nasa.gov/.

If we could go back to the 2010 NBA Draft, we'd realize Detroit thought they had themselves a keeper. With the No. 36 pick, the Pistons took Terrico White, a 6-5 combo guard who promised to be one of the best athletes in the NBA the second he donned a jersey. Yet after balling in that jersey for less than one preseason game, he hurt his foot and missed his entire rookie season. So we have a second round pick who missed his whole first year for a team that nobody cares about? No wonder people didn't realize he was in the NBA until last weekend.
If you didn't see the show White put on in Rudy Gay's charity game when he might've owned the top five plays himself, you need to. We hooked up with White earlier this summer, and he swears this year will be his coming-out party. There are Dwyane Wade and Russell Westbrook comparisons. He could reach that level or he may not. But if he gets consistent minutes, he'll at least be catching himself on SportsCenter quite often.
So in honor of White's hops, I put together a list of the 10 best dunkers in the NBA at the present moment. There are no real requirements for this. This isn't a list showing the guys who are the best contest dunkers, or even those who finished with the most flushes last season. It's a combination: the guys who are most entertaining, but yet aren't simply open court or contest dunkers. You need creativity, but you gotta be able to do it in a game as well.
With that, here are my top 10:
10. JaVale McGee
McGee is definitely in the big man camp when it comes to dunking. He was fourth in the league last year with 155 dunks, just behind DeAndre Jordan. But unlike Jordan, we've seen McGee do some crazy stuff (much of it stemming from the fact that he does seem, well, crazy). The dunk contest wasn't the only highlight we had from him last year. I seem to remember a couple of botched dunks that would've made an all-time blooper list. Even with those, McGee gets up as high as anyone in the league.

9. Russell Westbrook
If you weren't paying attention, and were seduced by Derrick Rose's MVP campaign and his jump to superstardom, you'd probably say he's a better dunker than Westbrook. Creatively, I think they're mirror images of each other. Both have the hops to go off one or two legs; Both have shown they can reverse, windmill or tomahawk it. The only different between the two is 20. Westbrook had 20 more dunks than the MVP last year, and when we're messing with numbers like 52 and 32, 20 dunks is a lot. Rose's max vertical was tested at 40 inches (Westbrook's was 36.5), but Rose is much more likely to jump stop and hit a floater. Westbrook is going for the dunk every time. Finally, Westbrook's dunk over Shane Battier last year was just vicious.
8. DeMar DeRozan
The least known great dunker in the league? It's possible. Most basketball fans have never even seen him play. It's only those watching north of the border, and the obsessive hoopheads who give him any respect at all. Just look at our Who's Better we ran a few weeks back between DeRozan and James Harden. Anyways, DeRozan finished with 60 dunks last year, which puts him in the company of big men like Marcin Gortat and Al Horford. His problem – and it's not his 6-9 wingspan or his 39-inch vertical – is he's too smooth. He makes it look too easy.
7. J.R. Smith
Smith only had 32 dunks last year, a pedestrian number that would seem fitting for someone like Austin Daye or Udonis Haslem. But Smith is his own worst enemy, launching moon shots when he should be driving, and getting himself benched when he should be playing. Just remember that when he does strike, he's good enough to make a list of the 10 best alley-oops ever.
6. Josh Smith
Watching Smith over the past few seasons, he doesn't seem to have quite the same lift that he did back in the day. But even if he did lose a little bounce, that only means he's hitting his elbow on the rim instead of his shoulder. The best lefty dunker in the game, Smith's signature dunk is rivaled only by LeBron's in it's unblockability. For someone so big and long, Smith is a phenomenally quick jumper, finishing last year with 98 dunks, many of them on tip-ins.
5. LeBron James
If we were rating these guys based off their hops, LeBron would probably be first. If we were rating them based off how unblockable their dunks were, he'd probably be number one again. So why isn't he? He didn't dunk enough or as creatively as the guys ahead of him. Still, he might be first all time in the "Get out of his way" department. It's almost impossible to say which of the two Miami teammates is better. For now, I'll go with this ranking, but don't hold me too it (this video had me about to change my mind).
4. Dwyane Wade
Did you know Wade actually dunked more often than LeBron last year (102 to 98)? At only 6-4, there's no one Wade's size that's even close enough to sniff the stuff he's doing. His patented "Get into the lane, angle the body sideways, then go up with the right and cock it back" flush accounts for probably three of the nastiest facials I've seen in the last five years. His ridiculous smash on Kendrick Perkins' head last year might've been the best play all season.
3. Dwight Howard
No one's going to argue with Howard being the most vicious dunker, or the more frequent. He led the NBA in dunks last year, himself and Blake Griffin finishing miles ahead of everyone else. Howard's shown off his creativity in dunk contests before as well. Still, as an all-around dunker, I can't put him ahead of the next two.

More People Desire A Lot More Mobile Applications
Quite a few professionals think that, in relation to how to market a product, that now a tipping point has recently been attained. Figures show more and more people nowadays use their own mobile devices to get the information they require during the navigation of their progressively busy lifestyles. Proof of this really is attainable everywhere. Only look around when in public, and you will observe that all over the place, folks are centered on their very own tablets and also mobile phones. It's not unusual to see an entire group of people virtually all standing all over focusing at their smartphones instead of at one another!
One more fascinating trend is the public's seemingly insatiable desire for a lot more apps. Folks now have software to find their way when they drive a vehicle, to talk to their own buddies, to distinguish plants/flowers, to record their exercising objectives, recipes, plus a great deal more. Mobile app programmers reply to this specific need by creating the applications men and women desire, but then will come the problem regarding supplying the proper mobile marketing services to put the actual software right in the hands of the people which will essentially employ as well as appreciate them.
The bottom line is to spot those cellular customers during the time when going to be apt to acquire and engage by using a distinct mobile app. Luckily, now it is very easy to determine the body associated with end users most likely to often find a powerful mobile app appealing, as well as who'll down load it, do the installation, put it to use and in performing this, bring in profits. This helps prevent the dilemma involving untouched programs. A lot of people download applications they in no way implement, and once such a thing happens, funds are lost.

Vitamin A supplementation in neonates
Vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem in many parts of the world, particularly Africa and South-East Asia. In infants and children, vitamin A is essential to support rapid growth and to help combat infections. Inadequate intakes of vitamin A may lead to vitamin A deficiency which can cause visual impairment in the form of night blindness and may increase the risk of illness and death from childhood infections, including measles and those causing diarrhoea.
Generally, infants are born with low vitamin A stores and are dependent on external sources, most importantly breast milk. In settings where vitamin A deficiency and/or undernutrition is common, infants are likely to receive inadequate amounts of vitamin A from breast milk due to poor maternal nutritional status.
In many countries where vitamin A deficiency is a public health problem, vitamin A supplements are provided to children 6–59 months of age to reduce the risk of illness and death and there has been considerable interest in vitamin A supplementation in the neonatal period to achieve the same outcomes. Results from studies to date – including three large trials conducted in India, Ghana and Tanzania – are inconsistent, however, with most providing no clear indication of benefit of neonatal vitamin A supplementation.
WHO recommendations
At the present time, neonatal vitamin A supplementation (that is, supplementation within the first 28 days after birth) is not recommended as a public health intervention to reduce infant morbidity and mortality.
Additional information for this recommendation can be found in the guidance summary and in the guideline, under 'WHO documents' below.
This is one of several WHO recommendations on vitamin A supplementation. The full set of recommendations can be found in 'Full set of recommendations'.

BackstoryI like French beans, you can use them in so many dishes and with so many spices and herbs. Cummin seeds are being used a lot in the countries of Central Asia and in India, so is garlic. Combining it with French beans makes a delicious vegetable dish.
- 600 grams of french beans
- 150 ml. of water
- 3 cloves of garlic, squeezed
- 1 tablespoon of lemonjuice
- salt according to taste
- half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a fresh Spanish pepper/chili, chopped
- salt to taste
- 75 ml. of olive oil
- half a teaspoon [or more if you like] cummin seeds
- 1 mix water, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a bowl
- 2 heat the oil in a pan and fry the cummin seeds for a few seconds in the hot oil.
- 3 add the french beans and stirfry for two minutes
- 4 put the watermixture in the pan and cover
- 5 bring to the boil, turn the heat low and simmer gently for 15 minutes
- 6 uncover, turn the heat up and cook the liquid down till only a little, keep moving the beans in the meantime

Epiploic appendagitis
|Epiploic appendagitis
|Classification and external resources
Epiploic appendagitis (EA) is an uncommon, benign, non-surgical, self-limiting inflammatory process of the epiploic appendices. Other, older terms for the process include appendicitis epiploica and appendagitis, but these terms are used less now in order to avoid confusion with acute appendicitis.
Epiploic appendices are small, fat-filled sacs or finger-like projections along the surface of the upper and lower colon and rectum. They may become acutely inflamed as a result of torsion (twisting) or venous thrombosis. The inflammation causes pain, often described as sharp or stabbing, located on the left, right, or central regions of the abdomen. There is sometimes nausea and vomiting. The symptoms may mimic those of acute appendicitis, diverticulitis, or cholecystitis. The pain is characteristically intense during/after defecation or micturition (espec. in the segmoid type) due to the effect of traction on the pedicle of the lesion caused by straining and emptying of the bowel and bladder. Initial lab studies are usually normal. EA is usually diagnosed incidentally on CT scan which is performed to exclude more serious conditions.
Although it is self-limiting, epiploic appendagitis can cause severe pain and discomfort. It is usually thought to be best treated with an anti-inflammatory and a moderate to severe pain medication (depending on the case) as needed. Surgery is not recommended in nearly all cases. Sand and colleagues,[1] however, recommend laparascopic surgery to excise the inflamed appendage in most cases in order to prevent recurrence.

Did you laugh today?
October 14th, 2012, 9:14 AM
Share the things that made you laugh. Share the laughter, share the smiles :)
October 15th, 2012, 4:05 AM
I like this topic. You're discussing about me, right?
Well, I laugh a lot. I have a best friend who's friggin hilarious, and you're awkward if you don't laugh at his jokes. I find myself to be hilarious, also, so I laugh at my own jokes. I laugh at everything that seems to amuse me, joke or no joke. I laugh when I want to laugh, because I can.
October 15th, 2012, 4:08 AM
I love laughing. Theres this really funny guy who sits in front of me in english and what makes it even funnier is that most of the time he is completley serious. So I, having just ate a huge cookie, go psycho whenever he says something and everyone else thinks i have a loose screw or something.
October 15th, 2012, 4:19 AM

And today when I was giving someone advice at work for a laugh:
What would Gordon Ramsay do? Hahahaha!
October 15th, 2012, 4:30 AM
I laughed a lot today, cos someone was admiring my hilarious-looking profile again. I mean, laughter takes up most of my personality so expect me having a giggle at a lot of things I see on TV or the internet.
I even laugh at my own jokes.

Yes, I laughed today! Tumblr is the main thing that makes me laugh these days. About two weeks ago there was a picture on Tumblr that I saw which was a little dog sitting in a chair that had "Meryl Streep" written on it. Then the caption said "wow she's good" and I saw that and I have laughed about it at least once every day since :P

I laugh on most days from humourous content on the web and/or hilarious comments from associates.
October 16th, 2012, 5:42 AM
I lol'd at a comment somewhere on PC today, even IRL! Usually I don't actually "laugh" out loud and rather just smile at things but ya. n_n;
October 16th, 2012, 9:10 AM
I just laughed at a Tumblr post like 20 minutes.
Actually, this gif. It was part of a pug photoset ♥ ;;
October 16th, 2012, 10:00 AM
I laugh pretty much constantly whilst in my floor's communal kitchen since someone's almost always telling a joke or doing something funny, so I've laughed a lot today! The most memorable moment being an incredibly 'disturbed' joke which is certainly not appropriate for PC, but I do have a messed up sense of humour haha.
October 16th, 2012, 10:32 AM
Ozzy made me laugh today when he said he forgot washing powder/detergent when washing his clothes. ;D
October 16th, 2012, 10:43 AM
I laugh at myself all the time, especially when someone says I can't do something right or something I'll laugh. You have to laugh when you're the joke. (Anyone who knows what song that's from gets ice cream and a hug.)
October 16th, 2012, 3:17 PM
Laughed at my boss' silliness today on the car ride home. We were telling silly stories and such since we had a 8-9 hour ride back.
There isn't a day I don't laugh about weird stuff.
October 16th, 2012, 3:22 PM
Laughed today while talking with friends online as well as while I was reading a chapter in the manga I was reading. Perhaps a few giggles here and there as well. I enjoy laughing. It brightens my mood even when I'm really sour. Guess you can say that I go along with the quote 'laughter is the best medicine'.

I laughed at work at a few things I can't really remember the reasons but I know they were all because of the coworker from hell. He's so obnoxious but he can be so funny sometimes.
October 16th, 2012, 8:21 PM
I laugh a lot in a day. I just laughed at the stupidest thing though. I had to make myself a stalker name and it came out super lame, but adorable. I'm not telling you cause it'll make no sense, but typing it makes me laugh cause it's...wow lol.
October 16th, 2012, 8:33 PM
I got a few laughs in today, especially around my campus. My Twitter feed has been booming for the past hour, so I've been getting my daily dose of laughing, if you will, from that as well. Haha.
October 16th, 2012, 8:46 PM
I laugh today because a female (who was wearing jeans) exaggerated bending down to pick up something. She was trying to look super cute but she end up looking silly. I laugh again because everybody was cracking jokes in my Active Directory class.
October 16th, 2012, 9:43 PM
I laughed quite a bit today at school; can't remember exactly what though. I'm usually a really giggly person, and I love to laugh; on the rare occasion I might be funny in the certain situation I'm in at a time. XD
October 16th, 2012, 9:47 PM
I laugh everyday. And a lot of my friends are humorous.
The only times i dont laugh is when i am down or upset.
October 17th, 2012, 6:38 AM
i laugh every day . My friends are just crazy and do crazy things every day. The boys in my class are just monkeys xD xD XD
October 18th, 2012, 1:02 PM
Mmm,i don't remember but i laugh always at silly things i even laugh when i say silly stuff and found nobody laugh not because it's funny but because i feel embarrassed so i try to say it's okay by laughing like an idiot....also my brother always do funny things
whenever i remember funny thing i'll say it,pwomise! :3
October 18th, 2012, 1:36 PM
I dont laugh often. Usually just the occasional pity laugh to keep things from getting akward. At school today there was a guy who was blowing a really big bubble and then it popped and got all over his face just like on TV. I laughed at that but I think that was about it for today.

This troubles me, are you generally a happy person and just don't laugh because nothing is genuinely funny or do you struggle finding things humorous because you're a glass half empty kind of person?
You know when they say "laughter is the best medicine", well they're not lying. Laughing releases endorphins as well as dopamine's which make you feel good, as well as some other chemicals that aid stress-relief, tissue regeneration and formation of neuro-receptors in your brain.
Laughing gives you super healing and makes you smart.
Not to mention prolongs longevity.
For anybody with a negative philosophical standpoint: (Glass half empty)
When you're alone, just laugh, fake laugh pretend you've just seen the funniest thing.
Then think about how silly you must sound and look, and laugh at yourself laughing at yourself. It's honestly hilarious and your mood will shift, you'll become much more positive in life the more often you laugh at nothing.
October 21st, 2012, 8:23 PM
I was driving around with one of my friends earlier and he told the stupidest joke but it's always those that crack me up the most. I swear I was going to crash... x_x;
October 28th, 2012, 5:22 AM
I didn't really laugh out loud today, but just chuckled at some funny pictures people shared on facebook.

I watched an episode of Bob's Burgers this morning before going to work, and managed to get all of my laughs for the entire day, if not week. Maaaaaaaaan, that show knows how to tickle my funny bone! "He's a boy!" "Tell that to my vagina!"
November 5th, 2012, 2:20 PM
I can't go an afternoon bus ride without busting a rib, it's hardly ever lacking comedy. I think most of us just leave our problems as we get on.
November 5th, 2012, 2:42 PM
Not yet, but it's only 9:40AM so I haven't had much chance to find something funny. Friends are coming over today for a sleepover, pretty sure I'll laugh at least once today though. Also Plumpyfoof is incredibly correct about laughter making you feel better.
November 5th, 2012, 6:20 PM
I generally make it a priority to look at something funny every day. My witty best friend though makes laughter very easy though.
November 5th, 2012, 7:56 PM
:D I remember watching some parts of the newest iCarly episodes today for 3 days. In "iFind Spencer Friends", this guy with the glasses and looks nerdy talks in a deep, distorted weird voice. 3 of the funniest parts are "Are you making fun of me?" "In the ALLLEEEYYYYYY" "The guy named Funnnyyyy..." And when Gibby had to talk to the 3 men and sing at the end.
And in "iLost My Head In Vegas", this weird guy comes to Gibby and gives him a "moon rock". He told him that it's all right twice like if Gibby can trust him. And when he told him that he can hear space inside the rock, he stole the $2500 and ran off. That part really made me laugh.
November 5th, 2012, 7:59 PM
Yes, I just did! xDD I was envisioning a splice between a male Unfezant and a Gigalith. The end results in my head were sooo hilarious I burst out laughing! Hahahaha! xDD
November 5th, 2012, 9:30 PM
Nope... sigh pretty =/ today overall. Stuck in both assignments. One I can get help on tomorrow I guess... the other though... large assignment and I don't even know where to start. Essentially, school-wise things are getting worse and worse this semester, and it's all a struggle until Christmas.

Nope. Not today. It's difficult to make me laugh through jokes unless they're exceptionally silly or actually good. My sense of humor is hard to get to if you're an average person. The internet does that to you.
The internet has its way of making me laugh sometimes though. I like reading arguments. They make me laugh some times.

One last big blast of what the industry hopes are massive, can't-miss releases before the shopping season begins – it's pretty obvious looking at the list this week. It's all greatest hits and weird repackagings the likes of which we would never see any other time of the year. However, it's also the day that brings two of the biggest re-releases of the entire year, the ones that will likely not end up under many music freaks Christmas trees – they'll have already bought these themselves.
Genesis – Live Over Europe and 1983-1998 (Box and Individual releases): Given the fact that I've seen absolutely no talk about Live Over Europe, I'm going to assume that few really care about this live album that documents the reunion tour from this past summer. It looks almost to be buried by the label with no warning whatsoever of its impending release – it's just here with no fanfare, and given the lukewarm responses to the shows, that's no surprise.
On the other hand, the second installation in the remix/remaster campaign curiously focuses on the band's least appealing period, from the self-titled 1983 album through the final, Phil Collins-less Calling All Stations in 1997. It's as if the label actually wants to show you that they're really not tuned in at all. This box of material that few fans are dying to get is readied for the hot Christmas season while the box that all the fans are eager to wrap their ears around, the Gabriel years set, lingers in limbo . . . ?
As it is, the material on these albums has been remixed from the masters to update their sound, so they won't sound exactly how you remember them, and each album has a DVD with surround-sound versions of the album tracks. If you opt to buy the box, you get not only the requisite book but also a disc of bonus tracks (and the surround DVD of those as well.)
Led Zeppelin – The Song Remains the SameCD and DVD: I remember one of the fundamental disappointments when getting into Led Zeppelin was, sadly, this live album. It was just a mess. Sprawling, rambling, incoherent, it just didn't jell, and there was good reason: it had been chopped up to fit on two pieces of vinyl and was never readjusted for CD. We could go on and on about the video version of it, the fantasy segments of which were a complete surprise when my friends and I rented it one night as teens just getting into the band. Confused is about the only word that comes to mind. "What is going on here? Why are his eyes glowing? Why is he sword fighting? Why are we watching cars?" Now, having seen it via VH-1 Classic a few times, those fantasy segments merely look quaint and a bit charmingly self-absorbed.
Now we finally get the CDs the way they should have been – all 15 songs represented in the setlist played on the nights at Madison Square Garden in 1973, remastered for sound quality and reflecting the actual concert represented in the film. The DVD, unfortunately, does not represent the concert alone – it is still the movie as it was back then, due to legal reasons that I don't understand that prevented Page and engineer Kevin Shirley from re-editing it back to just the music, but now it's in Dolby 5.1, and includes a second disc with the four missing songs, some interviews, coverage by Tampa news crews of the band's arrival there, and a few other small things.
The DVD set can also be had in a special edition with a shirt bearing the album cover, lobby cards, tour schedule, and other stuff.
Nine Inch Nails – Y34RZ3R0R3MIX3D: 133t!11!! H4x0rd! w00t! LOL WTF?! OK! Pandering title aside, the concept is pretty cool – the usual NIN remix album that follows in the footsteps of a regular album, but this time it's accompanied by a DVD containing all of the multitracks for the songs so you can do whatever you feel like with them, then upload them to nin.com for Trent Reznor's amusement (and, presumably, other fans, too). This is not entirely as unique as Trent and Interscope want you to think it is – Duncan Sheik's 2006 album, White Limousine, also came with a DVD with audio tracks, but I believe the NIN DVD has them broken completely down where Sheik's had them broken down into simple categories – one track of already multitracked vocals, another of multitracked guitars, etc. Regardless, it's a cool idea, and for $11.99, it's kind of hard to pass up the opportunity to play (The disc also includes a demo of Ableton Live so you can get playing immediately, but they will work in other audio programs).
Opeth – The Roundhouse Tapes (Live): While the Lamentations DVD represented Opeth following the low-key, but amazing Damnation (that is to say, quiet and contemplative – not to mention all singing, no growling), this live set is more representative of a normal Opeth concert, which presents the band in all their glory, touring for Ghost Reveries. Speed, heaviness, and those vocals are in full effect, mixed in, as usual, with Mikael Åkerfeldt's surprisingly beautiful singing voice. Be forewarned: a DVD is likely coming sometime early next year, so if you crave watching and not just listening, you might want to wait.
U2 – The Joshua Tree Magical Ultra Super Special Deluxe! Edition: 20 years ago, all I wanted was for people to just stop talking about U2. Oh my God, they were everywhere. My best friend, he'd been brainwashed, plastering his room with posters and hand-drawn replicas of their albums. The song he and his girlfriend called "theirs" was "With or Without You." I couldn't bring myself to tell them it wasn't really all that happy of a song, kind of like how people dedicate the Police's "Every Breath You Take" to loved ones not realizing it's actually about an obsessive stalker. People don't want to hear that, they have to learn some things on their own. But I digress.
20 years ago, all I wanted to do was ignore U2. I let the band click with Achtung Baby and it's been a slow climb ever since then. I'm thoroughly in the "fan" category now, and I fully acknowledge that The Joshua Tree absolutely is one of the best albums of the '80s, if not the best. I'm obviously not alone, hence this special edition. Two CDs – the remastered album on one, non-album tracks on the other – and one DVD with a full concert, a documentary, and a couple videos, packaged in a very elaborate box with a 56-page hardback book. If you don't buy this version, you're really kind of wasting your time – you're really missing out on something special.
Oh, and my friend? He married that girl – and their song changed to Tracy Chapman's "The Promise." Much better choice.Powered by Sidelines

If you have homeowners insurance, it likely includes some protection for your belongings if they are damaged by a covered peril (fire or theft, for instance). Personal property coverage typically comes with limits for both overall coverage — the maximum amount your policy may reimburse you after a covered loss — as well as sub-limits for certain high-value items.
For example, suppose your homeowners (or condo or renters) insurance policy includes $50,000 in personal property coverage. You may find that belongings such as expensive jewelry have more limited protection. For instance, you may find that a standard homeowners insurance policy provides up to $1,500 in coverage for jewelry.
That's where a rider may help. A rider — also referred to as scheduled personal property, a floater or an endorsement — is an optional add-on to a homeowners insurance policy. It provides additional coverage for the things you own that are worth more than the per-item limit of your policy.
Besides providing additional coverage for certain valuables, you may find that a rider helps protect those items from a greater number of risks.
To purchase a rider, you'll typically need to provide your insurance company with a recent receipt or a professional appraisal, the Insurance Information Institute says. You'll need to pay an insurance premium for each item covered by a rider.
When you inherit a valuable item, become a collector or you buy something like an engagement ring, it's a good idea to consider how your insurance policy may help protect it.
Think about items like:
If you don't know how much coverage your policy provides for those types of items, read your policy or contact your agent. You may benefit from a rider if you find that certain belongings are worth more than your current coverage limits.
Still not sure if you need a rider for your valuables? A local agent can help you review your existing policy so you can decide whether additional protection makes sense for you.
