This month of March has been truly awesome for action gamers. We've had games like The Suffering, Battlefield: Vietnam, FarCry, Unreal Tournament 2004, and probably a bunch more that's worth mentioning. We've had our more or less dry months after Christmas, but all that's over now. Today we look at Unreal Tournament 2004, the third game in the Unreal Tournament series. While it may look and sound much like Unreal Tournament 2003 in terms of graphical effects and such, quite a few new and extremely well done features are added.
Unreal Tournament 2003 deviated a bit from the original Unreal Tournament formula by going more towards a "wrestling" feel, to quote the developers themselves. The game got varied responses from the fans because of this, but this time things are different. You could say that Unreal Tournament 2004 takes the best aspects of the first and the second game, and throws in a host of drivable and flyable crafts, and much more.
If you for some reason don't feel like playing online you still have some pretty decent options. Single Player lets you enter a tournament where you begin by fighting against various other warriors. By winning you earn credits, which become very useful as you begin shaping your team. Provided you win enough matches you'll become the team's captain, meaning you hire and fire team members, and manage fairly basic team related things. The people you hire for your team have various statistics regarding things like accuracy, tactics and so on. The more they cost the better they tend to be, but when shaping your team you can also take into account things like preferred weapon and more. If you don't feel like managing all that much then you should be glad to know that a lot can be automated. Of course, the goal behind all this is to basically reach the top of the ladder. On the way you'll run into a number of surprises, one on one duels, and fight warriors of increasing skill. As the matches become more and more difficult the payout also improves, allowing you to constantly reshape your team.
The second thing you can do offline is starting an Instant Action game. The Assault mode, seen in the original Unreal Tournament has returned and is just as entertaining. Famous scenarios are recreated, where one team is the attacker, and one team is the defender. The attackers usually have to blow up or enable/disable various things to progress towards the main goal. The defenders obviously have to try their best to stop this. Next up is Onslaught, which is the definitive online favorite so far. Here two teams fight against each other, trying to control various power nodes. By getting control of certain connecting power nodes you can attack the opponent's power core, and by blowing this up you win. However, once a power node is obtained the other team can blow it up, and make it their own again. This can go back and forth, but what makes it so much fun is that you can use a number of vehicles. Running around can be fun in a way, but much less so when you've tried racing around in some of the things you find in UT2004. You can for instance get the Manta, a quick hovering vehicle which can jump and turn enemies into a pulp very quickly. You also have the Raptor, which can fly, shoot homing missiles, and shoot gobs of laser. Next is the Goliath, a pretty powerful tank, which can annihilate most other things on the ground. The Goliath can for instance get harassed by Raptors, since it can't hit them. However, many vehicles can hold several passengers, and if a second person hops into a Goliath tank then he can use a reasonably powerful machinegun, which can typically get rid of things in the air. Even though there are plenty more I'll finish the examples by mentioning the biggest of them all; the Leviathan. This huge thing can hold a medium sized team, shoots homing gobs of laser, rips away Goliaths in seconds, and can withstand a LOT of fire. All these vehicles have excellent control, and even though the physics sometimes "help" you too much it's still a ton of fun in multiplayer. There's plenty of depth to this aspect of the game, which is especially cool if you're growing a bit bored with the deathmatch modes you find in any other shooter.
The next mode is Deathmatch, which needs no introduction. The same goes for Team Deathmatch. Capture the Flag is also fairly self-explanatory. In Double Domination two teams fight to control two points at a time, for ten seconds. By doing this you earn points, and the team with the most wins the match. In Bombing Run two teams fight over a "ball" if you will. When a player picks it up he or she should try to get to the opposing team's base, where you put the "ball" into a hole, scoring your team a goal. When you're carrying this ball you can't use your weapons, so instead you either use a shield, or pass the ball. If you run into, for instance a single enemy, then you can pass him the ball, and blast him away the next second.
Mutant is another weird mode where you play in a deathmatch of sorts. The first person who scores a frag becomes the mutant, someone with superhuman powers. The person who kills the mutant becomes him. However, only the mutant and the person with the lowest score can kill other non-mutant players, so I'm sure you can imagine the chaos.
Invasion may very well be even stranger. Here a team of players fight against an ever-growing invasion of insects and monsters. This can get quite challenging once you've played for a bit. The final mode is Last Man Standing. In this mode you can only die a small number of times, and the last person who ends up alive wins. It's as simple as that.
There are no less than seventeen weapons in the game, if you include the translocator. The sniper rifle has returned, to the delight of a lot of people who love the sound of "Headshot!" You also have many of the same weapons you've used in the previous games, like the redeemer, the shock rifle, the shield gun, and much more. A new addition is the spider gun, which launches exploding homing spiders, which are very effective against both people and vehicles. In many of the game's 100 maps you only get to use some of these, but for the most part they're no less than great. Nothing compares to the railgun seen in Quake 3, but that's okay.
Graphically the game looks very nice. Even though the engine hasn't been massively enhanced this time around it still looks very good. What's probably the most impressive thing in terms of graphics is the amount of content, which is nothing less than mind-numbing. The game does take up A LOT of space, but that's because of the insane amount of maps, and the stupendous amount of textures. All the models are great, the level design is mostly awesome, the special effects are great as well, and it all runs incredibly well almost regardless of what hardware you use. There's even a software rendering mode included, so laptop users in particular (often with a fast CPU, but very slow 3D accelerator) can play the game without much hassle. Even though Unreal Tournament 2004 isn't technically superior to some other titles it still does extremely well in presentation.
The audio is also very much adequate. The sound effects are very good, but the music may not be as rich as the rest of the game. Most of it is electronica of various forms and shapes, all of which sound about as "Unreal Tournament-esque" as they always have. The taunts are, as expected, still present. Fortunately they're not quite as annoying as they used to be, especially playing over the Internet. On the other hand, this time a lot of people use microphones for communication, so the smack talk can be as serious and personal as you want it to be. Various other more or less weird features, such as text-to-speech is also included, but I don't expect them to be used all that much.
Beyond all of this there's also an excellent editor, and a whole host of video tutorials regarding mod making, courtesy of 3dbuzz.com. I'm sure there are a huge number of mods already being worked on. Epic has been truly great at working with the community, helping it out, and working to raise the standard. If you've ever wanted to create game content then the extra stuff that's on the DVD will teach you pretty much everything you need to know.
If you want "twitch action" then this really is it. Unreal Tournament 2004 has an insane amount of content, and should provide more solid entertainment than the majority of what you'll find at the game store right now.

LA Galaxy thrashed New York City in MLS, with Robbie Keane starring for the hosts - who went top of the Western Conference.
LA Galaxy maintained their momentum in MLS with a 5-1 thrashing of New York City, the latter suffering the heaviest defeat in their short history.
Robbie Keane struck twice and had two assists in a rampant showing for the StubHub Center hosts, while Gyasi Zardes, Giovani dos Santos and Sebastian Lletget also scored for Bruce Arena's men.
Galaxy's win took them top of the Western Conference on 46 points, one clear of Vancouver Whitecaps - who have a game in hand.
Sunday's fixture was originally billed as a clash between former Premier League rivals Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard - but the latter withdrew from City's squad due to ongoing rehabilitation with a quadriceps injury.
A defensive lapse from City saw Juninho take a quick free-kick - David Villa the villain - to Keane, who curled in a cross to Zardes to nod home under no pressure in the 36th minute.
Keane then fired home himself with a right-foot chip over the onrushing Josh Saunders eight minutes after the interval, and Dos Santos replicated the Irishman's effort - although he used his left to lift one over Saunders for 3-0 in the 67th minute as City's offside trap was sprung again.
Lletget was on hand to deflect Gerrard's side-footed effort in three minutes later, before Villa scored a consolation penalty for the visitors.
Galaxy had the last laugh, however, restoring the four-goal margin moments later when Robbie Rogers broke free down the left flank, and teed up Keane for a tap in to seal his brace and further City's embarrassment.
City remain outside the top six in the Eastern Conference, level on points with the play-off bound Montreal Impact - but having played four more games than their rivals.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience for many of us. When someone we love dies or a relationship ends due to divorce or some other circumstance, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions.
Sadly, we haven't been taught the information on how to heal from
loss in a healthy and healing manner. Instead, we are told to "move on", "keep busy", "be strong", "wait for time to heal" and eventually, to "get over it". All of this misinformation further isolates us in our pain and distracts us from our emotional healing. Over time, we may develop a strong relationship to our pain and begin to believe that healing is not possible. We stop participating in life and sadness becomes our new normal.
The good news is, your grief does not have to be a life sentence. There are tools that can help you to move beyond the pain and heal your heart after loss.
We invite you to join our Director and Registered Psychologist, Ashley Mielke, for an emotional, engaging, and educational heart-to-heart talk on how to break through the barriers of unresolved grief to emotional healing and recovery.
At this powerful one-hour talk you will learn about,
- what grief is
- different types of loss
- normal reactions to loss
- emotional incompleteness
- myths of grief
- academy award recovery
- short-term energy relieving behaviours
- signs of unresolved grief
- impact of unresolved grief
- three "F"s of grief
- keys to healing, and
- grief recovery

text: 88.7 KBVR Corvallis is a wonderful station run by the students of OSU. The Girl has a show every Friday at midnight. She plays hardcore, punk, and other random goodies. The shows she is sandwiched between are a smashup show and some old chicks classic rock show. The best and worst thing about KBVR is its diversity. Starting with the cons... Some days its nice to hear variety in the music you listen to where other days you just want to stick with what you know. That being said some pros...the the diversity is amazing. There are not only music shows but talk. There are sports shows and even shows about healthy eating. Perhaps one of the best qualities of the station is the opportunity to do a show of any genre or interest. Well I hope you give the station a listen. You can stream live on kbvr.com/listen

The primary benefit of all-season tires is that they balance the ability to overcome weather-related driving hazards throughout the year, reducing the need for drivers to change tires for different seasons, according to Popular Mechanics. All-season tires allow for modest gripping in the snow and decent summer gripping.
All-season tires normally have some lateral stiffness but an increased number of biting edges, according to Edmunds. Their performance isn't typically as strong as snow tires in the winter or summer tires in the summer, but they save the time and money involved in changing out specialty tires. All-season tires are also the default on many new cars as of 2015, which means consumers normally have many options from which to choose based on quality and pricing.
Though quality varies by tire model, there are all-season models that allow for excellent water dispersing in the summer just as summer tires do, according to Popular Mechanics. This feature is important for driving safety during rainy seasons because it allows the tire to stay in better contact with the road. Though some tires aren't good enough quality, there are all-season tires with grips that are adequate during the snowy summer months. An all-season tire's winter grip is better than a summer tire's grip in the winter and without the hassle of swapping tires.

The Wild Pacific Trail is a must see on any visit to Pacific Rim National Park, Ucluelet and/or Tofino. Located in Ucluelet, the Wild Pacific Trail is actually a set of three trails that connect into a wonderful 8.4 kilometre route. The Lighthouse Loop trail is a great place to start is wild meandering 2.6km trail that has endless amazing ocean views and an amazing array of twisted, weather beaten, and endlessly interesting trees along the trail. There are several great access points to the ocean where you can clamour over the rocks and see all sorts of sea life lurking in the pools and crevices where the ocean pours in and out of. The Wild Pacific Trail is wide and leisurely with numerous viewpoints to the ocean and guides you in and out of the forest on a constantly interesting route. The Lighthouse Loop takes less than an hour to walk, though considerably more if you explore. You can continue walking along Peninsula Road and Marine Drive to reconnect to the trail or a good idea is to drive to the parking on Marine Drive near Browns Beach. This positions you in the middle of the other two section of the Wild Pacific Trail, Big Beach and Brown's Beach. Big Beach has a large picnic area and a great ocean viewpoint. There are three beach access points. Browns' beach begins near Black Rock Resort and runs through a section of forest then three kilometres of beautiful ocean views until reaching Peninsula Road. If you turn right here you can follow the bike trail to Forbes St and connect back to Marine Drive or simply retrace your steps to your car.
Why should you hike the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet?
The Wild Pacific Trail is an easy and constantly interesting trail to hike anytime of the year. Storm-watching in the colder months and a relaxing and very interesting trail all year-round. Lighthouse Loop Trail is a beautiful route that allows you to walk the trail without having to retrace your steps. Very family friendly with its easy, wide and interesting trail.
More Info, Maps & Directions to the Wild Pacific Trail in Ucluelet >>
The Willowbrae Trail is a fairly quiet trail as compared to other beach trails in Pacific Rim National Park. The trail is easy and flat to begin as you hike along the straight and flat gravel path. This trail is prominent in the local history as a connecting route to Tofino. Before the current highway was built in 1942, the route to Tofino was usually via sea and land right through what is now the Willowbrae Trail. A nice map and information board along the trail points out what historic interests to look out for.. "Notches on old growth stumps that held springboards on which loggers stood to fell the giant trees. Abandoned homestead sites characterized by young second growth trees crowded together with littler shrubbery or undergrowth." The abandoned homestead sites have been obliterated by the forest but the notches in fantastically huge tree stumps are everywhere. Another beautiful look into history is the remaining sections of the "Corduroy Road". Early settlers constructed roads in the forest by laying down logs next to each other in a fashion that resembles corduroy fabric. The Willowbrae Trail takes you straight to the southern end of the beautiful Florencia Bay which is reached in 1.4 kilometres from the trailhead. The final descent to the beach is down a wonderfully long and somewhat steep boardwalk and stairs section. Florencia Bay is certainly one of the most beautiful beaches in Pacific Rim National Park due to its secluded feel, sunny south facing direction and interesting shipwreck history. The beach is big and beautiful and you will usually find just a handful of surfers enjoying the whole area to themselves.
Why should you hike the Willowbrae Trail in Pacific Rim Park?
The Willowbrae Trail is a quiet alternative to the much busier trails in Pacific Rim National Park. It is a trail with lots of historic interest and info on the trail depicting this. The Willowbrae Trail leads to Florencia Bay which, on a sunny day is very beautiful.

Glossary of Hiking Terms - Tofino & Clayoquot Sound Trails
Highpointing: the sport of hiking to as many high points(mountain peaks) as possible in a given area. For example, highpointing the lower 48 states in the United states. This was first achieved in 1936 by A.H. Marshall. In 1966 Vin Hoeman highpointed all 50 states. It is estimated that over 250 people have highpointed all of the US states. Highpointing is similar peakbagging, however peakbagging is the sport of climbing several peaks in a given area above a certain elevation. For example, a highpointer may climb the summit of Wedge Mountain, the highest peak in the Garibaldi Ranges, then move to another mountain range. Whereas a peakbagger may summit Wedge Mountain, then Black Tusk, Panorama Ridge, Mount Garibaldi and many more high summits in the region.
Hoary Marmot: the cute, invariably pudgy, twenty plus pound ground squirrels that have evolved to live quite happily in the hostile alpine areas of much of the world. In the northwest of North America, marmots have a distinct grey in their hair, a hoary colour, so have been named hoary marmots. They manage to survive quite happily in the alpine, largely by hibernating for 8 months of the year and largely for having a surprisingly varied array of food in such an inhospitable environment. They live off of grasses, berries, lichens, mosses, and roots and flowers. And live quite well it seems, as they always look chubby, which has one great drawback. They are sought after by bears and wolves. They have a wonderful defense system though. They are constantly on watch and whistle loudly at the first sign of danger, alerting the colony. The prevalence of these "whistlers" as they came to be locally called, in the early days of London Mountain resulted in it's name being changed to Whistler Mountain in the 60's. Hiking on Whistler, Blackcomb or Wedgemount Lake in the summer will almost guarantee an encounter with a chubby, jolly little whistler marmot.
Tarn: a small alpine lake. The word tarn originates from the Norse word tjorn which translates to English as pond. In the United Kingdom, tarn is widely used to refer to any small lake or pond. In British Columbia however, tarn is used specifically for small mountain lakes. Around Whistler tarns number in the hundreds and many are so small and/or hidden as to remain unnamed. Russet Lake in Garibaldi Provincial Park could be called a tarn, however its relatively large size dominates the area and the term lake seems more appropriate. The nearby Adit Lakes are more accurately called tarns as they are small, shallow and sit in an alpine zone, buried in snow most of the year.

From a first viewing of Alastair Sim as Scrooge in the best movie adaptation of Dickens' A Christmas Carol, I was hooked. The story employs the use of symbolic characters and moves the narrative as if we had the controls to a time machine. A wealthy man who won't aid charities and wonders why there aren't more poor houses and prisons meets his old partner, the dead as a doornail Marley, and is warned of visitation by three ghosts. The second turns out to be this Christmas, not any other Christmas, or rather the fancy sounding Spirit of Christmas Present. I watch the film over and over every Christmas Eve, if only to see that this jolly corpulent Father Christmas is hiding something under his robes. Seeing that Scrooge hasn't completely got it, he opens his robes and we see two freezing, starving, helpless children, labeled "Ignorance" and "Want." The ghost warns Scrooge he must beware these two, just as I remind Tea Party Republicans in the House of Representatives to beware their creations, Ignorance and Want.

Daily Bible Reading for July 22, 2014, with Commentary: 2 Kings 16-20
Click here for the Daily Reading.
Context: Chapter 16 tells of Ahaz, king of Judah. Ahaz ignored the Lord, performing pagan worship instead, including erecting an alter to a false god inside the temple of the Lord. The last king of Israel, Hoshea, came into power during Ahaz's reign. Hoshea stopped paying tribute to the king of Assyria, which resulted in an attack on Samaria, where Hoshea lived in an ornate palace. The Word of God is very clear: Israel fell and was carried off into captivity because they chose to worship other gods. God was very patient. He sent prophet after prophet to warn the people, yet they refused to listen. The people were removed from their lands and scattered throughout the Assyrian Empire. Ahaz's son, Hezekiah, ruled following Ahaz's death. Hezekiah was a good king, dedicated to the Lord. Notice how he is described in comparison to the other kings of Judah. Judah was spared from being captured because there were a few good kings who led periods of revival. Hezekiah destroyed the image of a serpent that Moses had made because it had lost its spiritual significance. Instead the people began to worship it! The same thing can happen today. A church or organization may need to grow and change because they have lost their focus on God. Israel had just been captured and Judah was next on the Assyrian's list. Hezekiah trusted in the Lord. He cleansed the land of pagan worship and the Lord spared Judah from capture. Isaiah 37 also takes place at this time. Hezekiah was a great king, but he also faced an illness. Like most people, Hezekiah did not want to die. Hezekiah was sincere and the Lord granted him another 15 years of life. Like David, Hezekiah also committed a sin. He was prideful and showed off the wealth that Judah had accumulated. Because of it, future generations would suffer.
World History: The Assyrians often displaced the people whom the conquered. They believed that by removing the people from their ancestral homelands, people would be less likely to revolt.

« Rick James Dead | Main | Music and Motorin' »
No doubt the people who desecrate jewish graves are sick fucks, but a post that refers to New Zealand as "Helen's Reich" seems as twisted as the Hitler/Bush submissions to MoveOn and O'Reilly's equating of Moore and Franken to Goebbels.
I thought the non-wingnuts on both the left and right agree that such rhetoric is deplorable.
Michele, are you sure you don't want to reconsider that first link?
I don't think the poster was referring to New Zealand as a whole but was (admittedly hyperbolic) referring to her craven pandering to Islamists while beating up on Israelis and possibly creating an atmosphere where Judanrein (be it from far left or right) feels free to "express themselves."
Watching the increase in such incidents in even "liberal 1st world" countries understandably has Jews and their friends on alert.
McSwine - Helen Clarke's behavior viz Israel and the most recent NZ/Israel passport scandal gave a green light to the nutters of NZ. What did she say after the first desecration? Nothing. By not condemning it, she in a manner of speaking condones it.
Helen Reich seems appropriate.

WASHINGTON -- Slapping the side of his wheelchair, James Brady makes his point to U.S. Rep. Wayne T. Gilchrest of Maryland.
"I'm not up here trying to sell these," Brady says in Gilchrest's office. "I'm trying to get out of them."
What Brady is selling is handgun control.
Gilchrest, R-1st, would seem to be a tough sell. A first-term lawmaker from a largely rural district, he succeeded Democratic Rep. Roy P. Dyson, who opposed gun control legislation.
But Gilchrest has been leaning in favor of the bill, and yesterday he told the Bradys he was all for it.

Today's guest post is from Miles Custis, contributing editor for Bible reference projects at Logos Bible Software and author of The End of the Matter.
Scholars often disregard the ending of Ecclesiastes. They view it—especially 12:13–14—as a later addition made by some scribe who wanted to tone down the book's negative message.
In the typical view, the message of the book is that life is difficult and hopeless (expressed in passages like Eccl 4:2–3). The author doubts God's justice and portrays Him as distant and unconcerned. Understood this way, the concluding message to "fear God and keep His commands" is incompatible with the rest of the book.
However, a careful reading of Ecclesiastes reveals that the author promotes a hopeful, albeit realistic, view of life throughout. He portrays God as sovereign and the giver of joy (see Eccl 2:26; 3:13; 5:19–20), emphasizing that human knowledge is limited when compared with God's sovereign power (see Eccl 3:14 and 8:16–17). So the epilogue "fear God and keep His commands," does not contradict the rest of the book; instead, it complements the book's message.
In The End of the Matter I take a close look at how the epilogue of Ecclesiastes relates to the rest of the book. I examine how the author uses the term hebel—typically translated as "vanity" or "meaningless"—and what he describes as hebel. I also explore the author's values, namely wisdom, joy, and the fear of God, finding ways to understand apparent contradictions in the book (as seen in 8:12–13). Finally, I examine how the author uses the epilogue (12:9–14) and prologue (1:1) as a literary device that presents a narrative frame around "the words of Qohelet" (the "Preacher" or "Teacher"). The author shows that, while life is characterized by hebel, one should respond by fearing God and keeping His commands.
The End of the Matter is currently under development. But if you order quickly, you can pick it up on Pre-Pub while it is still only $19.95!

So pictured above, are four of my most Favorited things (for now anyways) <3
Top Left <3
These are really nice soaps that I get from a store called Victoria's in Hamilton :)
They smell so nice! I have a couple, like rock melon, rose, orange and coffee bean.
They smell nice, and are only $2 a bar, unlike other stores that sell quality soap for $15 a bar. Grr.
If you live in Hamilton, Victoria. Be sure to try their soap out!
Top Right <3
That is the Nude By Nature, Powder Foundation Brush.
For a while, I loved the brush, then hated it for a bit (because they are a cow to clean), but now I have learnt that two washes with shampoo and one with conditioner, weekly, does the trick :)
As I no longer use powder foundations, I actually use it as a shimmer brush.
And it is kept in a sunglasses bag, to prevent the shimmer from going all over the place!!
Bottom Left <3
Ulta3 Nail Polish in Jelly.
I have always loved fluro colours in small doses. Haha.
Ulta3 isn't the greatest for nail polishes, but I suppose that for $1 from Coles, it did the job well enough for what it is worth!
Bottom Right <3
Np Set Champagne Palette.
So I actually got this from doing my Make-Up Course, and it now stays in my make-up bag ALL the time now. It has eye shadows, blush and lips. Oh and even a mirror, which I LOVE!
Mainly I love the browns, they are slightly shimmery, and apply well, and actually stay!
All the colours are So easy to blend to!
Well that is all for this post.. Bye, until next time!

Alright... I'm back ~dusts off desk... (except the telephone... those messages can wait a couple more minutes)~
I know, last summer when I went, and the weather was 75%%d and sunny, and my BH assured me it was always like that... wasn't going to last. Our first day there, we took my little one with some friends to some castle grounds for Easter festivities... it rained... his shoes were sooo muddy. You could tell I was the ignorant tourist, as all of the other children were readily equipped with little rubber boots. We went round to the shops soon after and found him some of his own (Thomas the Train, no less).
Suprisingly enough ~proud Mommy moment~ my 2 (he turned three while we were over there) year old was perfectly behaved on the 8 1/2 hour flight from Chicago to London. I was stunned.
Don't get me wrong, he's a good kid, better than most, but, let's face it He's A Toddler!!!
We hung out with many family and friends, and played with kids and fed ducks and saw 2 castles, went to the Natural History and Science Museums, and ate fantastic food (from homemade pizza to Indian, to waaay too many chocolate easter eggs). It was a great holiday for all of us, and I'm so happy we went.
I don't think I have a tip about autocad today. I'm still sort of beat and a little jet-lagged. I woke up 2 hours early today... not terrible, but, not fun either. ;)
Oh, I will do a little rant about something I saw *AGAIN* today in the cafeteria...
So, to the woman I saw today, and the many I've seen in the past, and the many I haven't seen:
You know salad is paid for by weight, so don't stand by the salad bar, digging into your plate for goodness sake... you're *STEALING* so knock it off! If you think it's too expensive, bring your own!
Alright, sorry, just had to get that out. ;)
Happy CADding, and don't forget to donate blood...

As of 2015, Sassy Baby Food Nursers have a 4.1 out of 5 star review on Amazon with a sample size of 28. Sixty percent of buyers gave them a five star review.
One verified buyer on Amazon reviewed Sassy Baby Food Nursers after testing them with warm water. Surprised it didn't leak, they proceeded to suggest the suction would be strong enough for cereal, formula, and baby food mixture. Another reviewer complained the hole is too large. The hole breaks the seal, and leads to leakage. This person suggests it can only be used with thick, puréed foods. Another review complains that the nipple on the bottle is too hard.
Diapers.com reviews are overwhelmingly positive with an average of 4.4 stars out of 5. But the sample size only comprises 7 reviews, all of whom are verified. Pros include being easy to wash, lightweight and sturdy construction, and portability. Cons include being difficult to assemble and not being able to sterilize through boiling.
The Sassy Baby Food Nurser is made to help babies transition from breast milk or formula to solid food. It's meant to bridge the gap between milk and using a spoon for solid foods. A vacuum disk is built to keep the air out and move food through consistently without clogging.

1 Salvage & Marine Firefighting Regulations a P&I Perspective 23rd September 2010 Tony Paulson
2 Content P&I Club system The International Group and its Sub-Committees Salvage the P&I view The Clubs input on SMFF SMFF principles and how contractors have approached them Possible implications of SMFF in practice
3 Structure of the Club system 13 Clubs Insuring over 90% of the world s blue water fleet Duality of role in a mutual the assured (Member) is the owner & the customer Similar duality at industry level compete amongst each other but work together in the International Group: Individually competitive, the International Group of P&I Clubs brings together the collective influence of the mutual clubs as a force for security and stability in international maritime trade. [
4 The International Group of P&I Clubs
5 Structure of the Club system International Group (IG) is an effective vehicle for: Pooling of claims Purchase of world s largest marine reinsurance contract Providing at cost insurance Providing unparalled limits of cover:
6 Cover excluding pollution Pool $0 - $3 - $5 billion Reinsurance $50m - $3 billion (Passenger liabilities limited to US$ 2bn) Pool $8 - $50 million Club 0 - $8 million
7 Cover pollution Reinsurance $50m - $1 billion Pool $8m - $50 million Club 0 - $8 million
8 Sharing expertise IG sub-committees But IG also enables effective sharing of expertise & experiences for benefit of shipowning community Various sub-committees e.g. personal injury, ships standards, bills of lading, salvage, pilotage, etc Representatives from each Club Pooling of knowledge and experience One voice on common issues Pollution Sub-Committee
9 Vessel Response Plan (VRP) Working Group Sub-set of the Pollution Sub-Committee Three representatives West of England, Steamship, Gard Analyse pollution-related contracts on behalf of IG to ensure compliance with Club cover especially indemnities Reference point for industry Publish guidelines and lists of approved contracts QI, OSRO, SMT in US, Canada, Panama, Argentina & China Now looking at SMFF contracts
10 Salvage the P&I view Salvage is primarily the concern of property underwriters Only direct P&I involvement is SCOPIC encouragement to prevent environmental damage therefore funded by Clubs Alternative to Article 14, intended to provide additional compensation where salvor fails to earn Art 13 reward Part of LOF but must be invoked, security from P&I to salvor SCR appointed, from panel administered by Lloyd s Code of practice between IG, ISU & property underwriters
11 Salvage the P&I view Only other P&I involvement is: Unrecoverable cargo s proportion of general average Indemnity from cargo for salvage contributions But only if breach of contract of carriage, i.e. unseaworthiness General position: There is no cover except as otherwise provided in this Rule, or as otherwise agreed in writing...for: (v) salvage of an insured vessel or services in the nature of salvage provided to an insured vessel and any costs and expenses in connection therewith
12 SMFF P&I input As we have seen, not primarily a P&I matter But VRP WG nevertheless assessed contracts/funding agreements & prepared guidelines as a service to Members Close liaison with each of the contractors IG approved contracts Published circulars to Members providing guidance & information
13 IG guidelines for SMFF contracts Owner s representative - right to have SCR-type person attend Control always with salvage master but owner s rep consulted Funding no advance guarantees, fixed limits & haul-off clause Salvage remuneration limited to contract only Indemnity even-handed & simple not gross negligence Warranties salvor fulfils 15 criteria Insurance ensure sufficient to respond to liabilities Law & jurisdiction England preferred but other as appropriate Disputed invoices 80/20 principle Interest 1% or 2% above LIBOR Confidentiality right to consult with insurers
14 SMFF - guiding principles USCG wants certainty of response Delays in response while prices/terms negotiated not acceptable Pre-event contractual and funding certainty Funding agreement to ensure flow of funds to salvor & therefore his continued engagement Tankers must incorporate SMFF arrangements into VRP by latest 22 Feb 2011 Tankers only for now (definition as per OPA 90 see USCG website)
15 Different contractors, different approaches Question: how do you decide on appropriate terms & set a realistic price in advance and before you know what casualty you're dealing with? Four contractors currently in the market: T&T Bisso Resolve Donjon-Smit Marine Response Alliance Four different approaches to answering that question Note use of LOF unusual for the US (but must add SCOPIC) All contractors have received USCG approval
16 T&T Bisso Own contract, US and non-us version In-house standard tariff Out of pockets at cost plus 15% English law & jurisdiction (non-us version) US maritime law/texas, Houston arbitration (US version) Owner s rep can be appointed
17 Resolve LOF2000 with SCOPIC If $750,000 then straight reimbursement at SCOPIC rates First 24 hours 50% uplift Subsequent days 25% uplift English law & jurisdiction (salvage arbitration process) Owner s rep can be appointed
18 Donjon-Smit Three categories depending on circumstances of the casualty: Category 1 vessel adrift TOWHIRE SCOPIC rates +20% uplift, OPE s cost + 15% New York arbitration Category 2 lightly aground WRECKHIRE SCOPIC rates + 50% uplift, OPE s cost + 15% New York arbitration Category 3 major casualty LOF2000 with SCOPIC Where SCOPIC invoked, SCOPIC rates + 25% uplift English law, Lloyd s arbitration
19 Marine Response Alliance Comprised of various entities: Marine Pollution Control Corp. for Emergency Lightering Marine Hazard Response for Firefighting Titan Salvage LLC for Marine Salvage Operations with Crowley Maritime Services tug rates Contractual terms to be negotiated case-by-case, in-house tariffs Range of rates depending on which entity is deployed New York arbitration Owner s rep can be appointed
20 What might the SMFF regulations mean in practice? VRP requirements becoming ever more stringent many pitfalls for the unwary when trading to the US Tankers only for now but can be sure other vessel types will follow DWH means greater media, public & political scrutiny of any pollution or threat of pollution USCG will be ever more stringent their career is at stake Spot light will be on shipowner & his insurer in a casualty They had better be ready!
21 What might the SMFF regulations mean in practice? Points for insurers to consider: Need to see the contracts your assureds are entering into How will subscription insurance underwriters (e.g. H&M) provide a flow of funding to salvor? What about security? Are claims handlers acquainted with LOF, SCOPIC & Lloyd s salvage arbitration procedure? Arrangements in place with London/US admiralty lawyers need to act quickly Have response plans ready with updated contact details
22 What might the SMFF regulations mean in practice? Points regarding the response effort: Only one US-based SCR on Lloyd s panel. Where will the owner s representatives come from in the US? Where does the salvor fit in Unified Command structure? What control will the salvor, owner & insurer have in practice, especially post-dwh? How effective will haul off clauses be? Will a COTP really allow a contracted salvor to be de-mobbed? Where Uncle Sam goes the rest of the world usually follows; is this the sign of things to come for us all? Is the EU next?

Sports & Adventures

Global Voyager Travel Insurance
Travel from anywhere, to anywhere
Available to most nationalities on an "anywhere to anywhere" basis whilst travelling outside home country.
Short Stay
Short stay insurance offers great cover for individual holidays or business trips. The levels of cover ensure peace of mind and protection for you, and your family. These policies are designed to cover trips of up to 45 days in duration, for ages 75+ the maximum duration is 23 days for travel outside of the European area.
These policies also cover a broad range of sports and activities and the opportunity to upgrade to include insurance for more extreme sports and activities such as skydiving, high altitude trekking as well as rugby, polo and lacrosse, though some of these will require referral to our underwriters for consideration to determine costs and conditions.
Skiing and Snowboarding insurance is also available on short stay insurance by doubling the standard price.
Long Stay
Long stay travel insurance is ideal if you are planning on being outside of the country for an extended period of time (two months or longer). Navigator Travel specialises in long stay travel insurance for gap year travel, volunteering or studying overseas, career break and sabbatical travel and backpacking to individual destinations, round-the-world itineraries or working holidays.
Navigator's GOLD and SILVER products offer cover for a range of sports and activities, however they do not cover the more extreme activities such as skydiving, high altitude trekking, rugby, polo and lacrosse. Winter sports insurance is an optional extra and can be added for cover up to 31 days.
Our BACKPACKER and STANDARD long stay insurance covers a wider range of sports and activities (in Activity Packs 1-4) and can cover longer periods of winter sports, such as skiing and snowboarding.
These policies offer flexibility that allow you to extend your duration whilst abroad or upgrade the policy to include more extreme sports and activities if required.
The maximum age limit on these policies are: 64 years on GOLD and SILVER, 35 years on BACKPACKER or 55 years on STANDARD LONGSTAY.
Annual Multi Trip
If you are a frequent traveller, it would be worth investigating annual travel insurance. Multi Trip policies will cover you for a 12-month period for a set price that covers you for individual trips of up to 45 days in duration (maximum of 23 days duration for ages 70-74). For longer trips, you will need Long Stay single trip policies that cover journeys of over 45 days.
Annual Multi Trip insurance cover can be purchased as an individual, as a couple of as a family. Discounted annual prices are available to couples and families and provide a level of cover to ensure peace of mind and protection when abroad.
These policies do cover a broad range of sports and activities and give you the option to upgrade and include extreme sports and activities such as skydiving, high altitude trekking and sports such as rugby and polo. Requests for some of these sports and activities will need to be referred to our underwriters for consideration and may incur additional costs and conditions.
GOLD Annual Multi Trip policies will cover up to 21 days wintersports free of charge (14 days on SILVER), in the 12-month period. A maximum age of 74 applies to these policies.
When you plan your holiday or travel arrangements it is important to choose your holiday insurance with care. Many policies do not give cover for adventurous or hazardous sports and it is frequent for holiday insurance not to cover working whilst traveling.
Navigator offers four online insurances that cover working and many sports and hazardous activities. Our BACKPACKER and STANDARD LONGSTAY products are aimed primarily at backpackers and gap year or student travel and give basic cover for travel and working, with a good selection of sports covered. The SILVER and GOLD policy covers fewer types of work and sporting activities, but offer higher levels of cover than Backpacker and Standard.
This important part of trip planning is all too often given insufficient consideration and many holiday makers travel each year with policies that are not suitable for the activities that they are undertaking. There is such a range of travel types that it is often difficult to identify the right policy without a lot of research. Some of the specialist policies offered here at Navigator are:
– Backpacker Insurance
– Student Holiday Insurance
– Adventure Trip Insurance
– Gap Year Insurance
– Extreme Sports Insurance
A common mistake when selecting a policy for long stay travel is to buy an Annual Multi-Trip holiday insurance. Because these are advertised as "annual holiday insurance" it is assumed that they would give cover for a long stay trip, such as a gap year holiday. In reality, whilst they will give insurance cover for many trips, there is an individual trip duration limit, often 31 days or lower. This type of cover is invalidated if your trip is longer than this duration, so for holidays like this you need long stay cover. Our BACKPACKER, STANDARD LONGSTAY, SILVER and GOLD policies cover long trips of up to 18 months duration.
It is also increasingly popular these days for people to seek work overseas, and it is important that you get a working travel insurance cover to ensure that work is covered. Many holiday policies will not cover claims that arise in the workplace, though our policies do cover work-related claims, provided the work is not manual labour. We can often cover manual work, though we would need to refer these cases to insurers for their agreement. There will be additional conditions attached to manual work, and often higher cost. Personal Liability claims are not covered though; these should be covered by the employer who should have insurance in place to protect against such eventualities.
Whatever your requirements, we will try to obtain a suitable quote to cover your needs, and offer a personal service to try and ensure that the policy meets your expectations. Call us now or get a quote online!

Severe, Debilitating Endometriosis
In seeing one of my endometriosis patients this afternoon I'm reminded of just how severe this condition can be. I first saw her years ago when her lungs were collapsing with each period. Let me repeat that, her lungs were collapsing with her periods! It's a condition called catamenial pneumothorax. It's caused by endometriosis tissue affecting the lungs. Yes, it can get that far up and affect the lungs. At the time her periods were also extremely heavy and painful. She came to me to treat endometriosis, Her periods became lighter, not painful and the lung collapse issue stopped. Fast forward through a few years where she was doing well and I didn't see her. Today she came in again. Her lungs are no longer collapsing and her periods are still not as heavy or painful as before treatment, but a little while ago she started coughing up blood with her period and her surgeon wants to remove one lung. After a reassessment today, we are tackling endometriosis again and we'll probably add nebulized glutathione to her treatment to help heal her lungs. I hope if you are affected by this debilitating condition, it isn't as severe as it is for this woman, but if it is, even in severe cases naturopathic treatment can help.
3 Things that Help Treat Endometriosis
- Avoid dioxin exposure. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, our most significant dioxin exposure comes from the consumption of beef and dairy products.
- Check hormone levels. Excess estrogen is often the culprit with endometriosis, but it is also important to have healthy levels of all the estrogen balancing hormones like progesterone, testosterone, and DHEAs. Deficiencies of these will appear as an excess of estrogen because they aren't keeping estrogen in check.
- Help the liver with detoxification. Whether it's estrogen or dioxin or estrone that is causing the problem, it is the liver's responsibility to break these down through phase I and phase II liver detoxification so that your body can get them out. Healthy phase I and phase II detoxification require pyridoxal-5-phosphate, 5 methyltetrahydrofolate, vitamin B12, magnesium, indole-3-carbinol and calcium-d-glucarate.
I can help measure hormone levels and identify imbalances. Once we know the exact imbalance you are dealing with, I can help formulate an individualised treatment plan using natural therapies like diet, lifestyle, herbs, vitamins, minerals and other natural plant extracts. This works far better, is better for your long-term health and fertility and addresses the root of the problem rather than masking it.

Fall is HERE!!.. I can not be more thrilled!.. Am I the only one that's excited here people!?.. As you guys know, fall is one of favourite season and I am always looking forward to it. Not only do I love how nature takes it's toll and how the leaves changes their colours but hello! The fashion is to die for! I'm obsessed with everything fall. I wanted to share with you guys some of the things I have recently purchased and have been loving.
I went to the mall on the weekend and stopped by Forever21- I always say- "I'm just gonna look, I won't buy anything" .. who am I kidding right?! As I walked by some adorable pieces; which Forever21 is known for carrying the cutest things ever (telling myself- no Stef.. back away) I came across these jeans and I couldn't put it down.. let's just say I walked out with 4 pairs. The sales lady approached me and said Hi can I help you? yes please, size 28 in every colour please ( ahahahaha) she just laughed and totally got me. For those out there that don't know I'm a 5'9 and have hispanic roots which means I got my curves and I love them..
I have always wanted a YSL lipstick but thought to myself, these colour are all so beautiful and let's be honest- they are quite pricey so I didn't want to buy a colour that I wasn't going to wear as often. I came across this one and ending up loving it. Plus they all smell so yummy!
H & M has always had beautiful statement jewelry pieces and these 2 caught my eye.
If you're not new to my blog then you all know that I LOVE ZARA. I have always been such a fan and I always seem to walk out with something LOL ( it's a must) I'm pretty sure you ladies can all relate. While they were having a sale I came across this suede beige trench jacket. I was loooking for my size like crazy- seriously people I was on a mission... I saw a medium at the very back of the rack and was totally happy! I looked like a little kid- no joke. to make things even better it was on sale from $139.99 and walked out paying 49.99! Major score!
I've been looking for boot without a heel for awhile and came across these.. IN LOVE and super comfy.
