Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is my build for jungling with Warwick...
A few things for your decision:
- You choose if you want to buy Madred's Bloodrazor or Berserker's Greaves first, I personally prefer the Bloodrazor.
- If you're playing against a melee dps team (3+ melees) and most of the teamfights are in close range, I prefer taking Tiamat (Pickaxe, found at Dmg>Atk) last, instead of Guardian Angel, so you can take down many opponents at once. Great for such melee fights.
- If you see you're getting feeds right at the beginning, take Sword of the Occult (Atk stacks item) as soon as you can, and replace it with the Guardian Angel that should be bought last.
If you play properly, there will be NOTHING that can take you down.
Good luck,

The Killer Inside Me
By all appearances, The Killer Inside Me's setting of Central City, Texas, is the epitome of the cinematic small town, complete with slow-drawl country music tunes, a businessman who practically owns the town, and a doe-eyed lady who most of the townsfolk love, but whose heart belongs to the deputy sheriff. Lou Ford (Casey Affleck), though, is no ordinary deputy sheriff, as we learn when he is ordered to evict a local prostitute, Joyce Lakeland (the always gorgeous Jessica Alba), because she has taken up with the son of town boss Chester Conway (Ned Beatty). Unfortunately for Conway, this is Jessica Alba we're talking about! After a rather interesting exchange with Joyce, Ford takes up with her himself, and hatches a plan for them to skip town together. When Ford's fiancé, Amy Stanton (a fetching Kate Hudson), suspects an affair between the two, trouble ensues, and a maelstrom of murder, mischief, and mayhem soon envelops Central City.
Based on the novel by Jim Thompson, who also wrote The Grifters and The Getaway as well as screenplays for Stanley Kubrick's films The Killing and Paths of Glory, The Killer Inside Me is one of the better films of its ilk, wherein the "hero" is actually a disturbed and disturbing individual. Directed by Michael Winterbottom (A Mighty Heart) and featuring a supporting cast of actors that could each carry their own film (and indeed some have), including Bill Pullman, Simon Baker, and Elias ''I'm not Christopher Meloni and he is not me'' Koteas, this movie should be penciled into everyone's must-see list.
To answer the main question on the minds of the panting fanboys: Yes, both of the film's buxom beauties, Alba and Hudson, show heaping gobs of skin. Unfortunately, this is film noir, a genre in which attractive female characters seldom survive to see the final credits roll.
With that in mind, a word of warning: The Killer Inside Me does get a bit gratuitous with its violence, and while it's not Bad Lieutenant- or David Lynch-level gratuitous, it's still out-there, blunt-trauma-to-the-head violent. Winterbottom makes the dangerous choice of rarely cutting away from the looks on the faces of those involved in these scenes, and we as viewers become willing accomplices in Ford's actions. In the film's defense, the violence is actually used for character development, and there are enough moments of subtle, bleak, black humor to counterbalance it. But if you're the squeamish type, you might wish to stay home.
Long out of the shadow of his more famous brother, Casey Affleck comes out of his own shadow in The Killer Inside Me, creating a character as charismatically menacing as a villainous protagonist could be; an Anton Chigurh you could bring home to meet your family. With no shred of his "Baastaahn" accent apparent, Affleck speaks in a southern drawl that sounds like he's about to crack at any instant; because usually, he is. It's the kind of role that will be talked about for years (if this film gets the proper promotion, that is) and in my opinion will make him a very early candidate for Best Actor.
Hollywood.com rated this film 3 1/2 stars.

Internet Things Toolkit Launched by Map and Sam Team
London-based creative consultancy Map, founded by Barber and Jay Osgerby, together with technology firm SAM have developed a toolkit, which is expected to make it easier to create Internet-connected products.
"There was no really easy way to create a product, an app, or a piece of art using electronics and coding," Joachim Horn, SAM CEO, told Dezeen.
In addition to the digital software, the companies have been working together on the development of the physical modules, which include actors and sensors.
While the actors are responsible for outputs, including buzzers, motors and lights, the sensors ensure input, such as pressure sensors, buttons and thermometers.
The new toolkit is aimed at educating students and designers about the computer science and electronics.

The association of consumers, an analysis of eight brands of peanut Japanese and five of the raw product showed high concentration of aflatoxin in raw peanuts Brand Kisabor.
The level of contamination is found ten times higher than the Brazilian law allows - up to 30mg of aflotoxina / kg of food. The problem was not repeated in other tested batches of the same product, but the fact that there a lot with a very high level of contamination is cause for great concern.
For Ana Carolina Gagliardi Miguel Moron, Nutrology of Incor, this is a frequent problem in Brazil. "The aflotoxinas are produced by fungi that are present in nature and in many foods such as peanuts, nuts and corn, and can be consumed in small quantities. The problem is when the food is much toxin as the Pro Test it."
Aflatoxin is a toxin derived from fungi. It is dangerous to health and potentially carcinogenic. The substance has a cumulative effect in the body and when consumed in high doses, can cause serious damage to health, such as cirrhosis, hepatitis B and hemorrhage in the kidneys. In pregnancy, aflatoxin can cause mutations in the fetus.
A Pro test asked the National Health Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) and the Ministry of Agriculture and the prohibition of the collection of 03,073 batch of raw peanuts Kisabor. The agency promised that it will take action.
In previous years, lots of other foods made with peanuts were prohibited.

Cream for skin cancer may improve the appearance of wrinkles, study suggests
A cream used to treat pre-cancerous lesions of the skin also reverses
signs of aging, study of American scientists has revealed. Besides
to remove protuberances suspected skin damaged by sun, drugs
fluorouracil improves the appearance of wrinkles, dark spots and olheiras.
Patients with pre-cancerous actinic keratosis (patches that are distinguished
only by the tan disappear by surgery or chemical treatment)
can expect, as a side effect of treatment, have a skin
look younger, according to articles written by researchers
in the medical journal "Archives of Dermatology."
Experts warn, however, against the use of drugs for
purely cosmetic purposes, saying it can cause severe
reaction in the skin. The treatment encourages the body to produce new skin
healthy to deliberately damage the outer most layer of skin,
well as in chemical peeling and laser treatment.
In tests with 21 volunteer patients with actinic keratosis
and skin damaged by exposure to the sun, the scientists applied cream
with fluorouracil twice daily for two weeks and found a
significant improvement in the skin, with the removal of stains and pre-cancerous
the reversal of some signs of injuries caused by the sun.
The team of scientists led by Dana Sachs, the School of Medicine
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, said: "Without doubt, there
patients who want a therapy as the application of fluorouracil to
cosmetic purposes because of the relatively low cost of this therapy in
compared to the use of laser. "Sachs added that this strategy,
however, "can not achieve the same degree of improvement" achieved with the
Laser treatment of wrinkles.

Chevrolet has blown the lid off of its new 2017 Camaro ZL1, unveiling a convertible version of its monster muscle car at the New York International Auto Show.
The drop-top ZL1 will be powered by the same 640 hp (at least!) supercharged 6.2-liter V8 as the coupe when it goes on sale later this year, making it the most powerful Camaro convertible ever.
It carries over the hardtop's magnetically-adjustable active suspension system, electronic limited slip differential, and computer-controlled performance traction management system. Buyers will be able to choose between a six-speed manual and 10-speed automatic transmission.
The convertible features the same aggressive style as the coupe, with wider front fenders than the Camaro SS, a wing spoiler, a deep front splitter and side rocker panels, huge grille openings, and an air extractor on the hood to help cool the engine and reduce front-end lift.
Pricing has not yet been revealed, but the last-generation ZL1 started at a cool $63,000 in 2015.

2000 Volvo S80 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
This once utilitarian Scandinavian warms up with style.
Think safety. Now think cars. No doubt the image of a boxy road tank is lumbering through your head, replete with an immaculately coifed soccer mom behind the wheel and 2.2 well-mannered kids buckled securely in the back seat.
And the boxy road tank is a Volvo.
The traditionally stolid automaker hopes to change that image with its new S80. Not completely, mind you. After all, Volvo is quick to point out that the S80 is the safest car it has ever built. And with its abundance of safety features, it's a difficult claim to argue.
In addition to dual front airbags, the S80 has specially designed headrests that reduce whiplash in a rear collision by 'cupping' the front passengers, buffeting their contact with the seats. Inflatable window curtains, as well as side air bags, protect the head and torso in a side impact. And all S80s come equipped with antilock brakes and traction control.
But Volvo wants us to believe that its flagship sedan can be super safe -- and a little sexy -- at the same time. Volvo? Sexy? Sure, in a sophisticated sort of way, of course. One look is all you'll need to be convinced.
The S80 is available in two versions. The $35,820 S80 2.9 comes with a 2.9-liter 6-cylinder engine that produces 197 horsepower. The $40,385 S80 T-6 is equipped with a twin-turbocharged 2.8-liter inline-6 that delivers 268 horsepower. (Destination charge adds $575.)
Volvo's navigational system is available for either model for $2,495. A Homelink Security System is available for $595. Dynamic Stability Traction Control is a $1,095 option, while 17-inch alloy wheels are available for an additional $395. Leather upholstery adds $1,195.
At first glance it's difficult to identify the S80 as a Volvo -- unless you're facing the signature grille, with its chromed vertical bars and diagonal slash. Gone is the box-on-box construction that distinguished the Volvo profile for a generation. It's replaced by softer, less decisive lines: a gently sloping hood line, steeply raked windscreen, slightly bowed roofline and almost coupe-like rear window line. A short rear deck-lid completes the seductive silhouette. Every corner has been rounded to ease the severe angles one expects from a Volvo. And lightly sculpted doors and side panels flank its body in sensuous contrast to the big, slab-sided Volvos of old.
Flared wheel-wells circle 215/55R16 all-season tires. Our test car sat on classically styled alloy wheels featuring an interesting scalloped edge detail. The wheels, like so much of the S80, manage to be understated, and yet stylized, simultaneously. (Optional 17-inch alloy wheels come with 225/50R17 tires.)
All of the styling gambles Volvo took in designing the S80 culminate in the rear. Prominent, jewel-like taillights sit high on either side of the trunk, the lenses themselves forming the car's rear corners. They're molded in an interesting notched shape, giving the S80 a distinctive flavor that sets it apart from anything else on the road.
Styling enhancements exercised on the S80's body flow seamlessly inside. A tasteful two-tone color scheme in cool, muted hues ties the whole cabin together, from the dashboard and glove box to the doors and kick panels. The spare use of a simple, dark simulated wood lends a nice, understated accent. It's only used on the shifter, the perimeter of the center console and in a single swath of trim that rings the cabin.
The front leather seats feel rich and firm and provide ample support, with just enough bolstering for a snug fit. Getting in and out of them takes little effort as the seating position tends to be upright and the doors open wide. But just in case a little help is needed, Volvo added a driver's side grab handle, a convenience found in only a few trucks and fewer cars. If you want a warm seat, however, turning on the driver's side seat heater can be a bit awkward because the controls for both front seat heaters sit closer to the passenger.
Volvo paid as much attention to providing the S80's back seat passengers with as much comfort as the front. The wide rear seat easily accommodates three adults, with legroom compromised only when the front seats are in their rearmost position. And forever with an eye on safety, all three rear seats have headrests to minimize whiplash, and three-point seat belts.
Carrying a lot of cargo is no problem. The S80 has a large, deep trunk made all the more accessible by its low lift-over height, trunk-mounted rear seat back releases and a pass-through space.
The S80's instrument panel is particularly clean. The gauges fit logically and don't overwhelm with unnecessary clutter. Wherever the driver positions the tilt steering wheel, the center-placed speedometer and tachometer remain in plain view.
Climate controls are intuitive and well designed. Dual climate controls allow adjustments for driver and passenger temperature preferences. The radio uses a dial to control the choice of programmed stations in place of the now more familiar row of buttons. A dial is also used to choose between AM, FM or CD sources. Additional radio controls are on the steering wheel.
Driving Impression
As much as the S80 is about safety and styling, it's also a car that wants to be driven. The S80 engines are the first transversely mounted inline 6-cylinder engines in modern times.
The S80 2.9 model's 2.9-liter engine enjoys accelerating quickly, particularly during brisk highway entrances of the 0-to-80 mph variety. If a little sluggish immediately off the line, the S80 has a fat power band -- thanks to the 2.9-liter's variable valve timing -- and virtually leaps at 2,500 rpm, the revs slamming the 5,500-rpm mark in a blink.
At speed, the 197-horsepower engine has plenty of power in reserve, making passing at high speeds an effortless maneuver. The transmission responds in kind, crisply kicking down to third gear at the tap of the gas pedal for added oomph.
Throttle response in the 268-horsepower T6 is even more impressive. Its dual turbochargers are small units that spool up more quickly than larger ones, erasing almost all apparent lag to make for exhilarating standing start acceleration. Swift starts do require two hands on the wheel, however, as the front-wheel-drive S80's torque steer becomes quickly evident.
On the road, the S80 handles straightaways and turns with assuredness, if a little softly. Its smooth handling and easy ride feel neutralize most road imperfections without totally eliminating road feel. Steering effort is firm, although steering feel itself, like the ride, remains a tad soft.
The brakes just may be the most appealing feature of the S80 driving experience. They grab decisively and pull the big S80 to a stop with authority, even in panic situations. On one stop-and-go-filled test drive, braking distances were consistently overestimated: This car can stop much quicker than you'd think. The S80 came to a stop well behind every stopped car, stop sign and red light.
The 4-speed automatic transmission shifts smoothly and precisely, most notably at higher loads. But occasionally at lower speeds, a quick stomp on the gas causes the 4-speed unit to trip over itself on downshifts. The momentary bog creates a slight response delay and lurch of the car once the downshift takes place.
Volvo is betting the S80 wins American drivers over big. Taking advantage of the resources available from new parent Ford Motor Co. should help it to this end.
Its combination of world-class safety features and sporty driving manners also help make the S80 a sure contender in the mid-level luxury market, especially for the Boomer looking for something different and unique -- in other words, something other than your run-of-the-mill BMW or Mercedes-Benz.
Certainly a dash of sex appeal doesn't hurt. The S80's seductive styling surely will be enough to lure prospective buyers into showrooms.

Divorce rates in the United States have dropped to a 35-year low, according to new data from Bowling Green State University in Ohio.
What's going on? Well it's hard to pin point, but factors could include the aging of the American population, changing gender roles or the simple fact that not many people are getting married.
But marriage rates have remained stable, with about 32 marriages for every 1,000 unmarried women age 15 or older.
Utah has the highest marriage rate in the US, but its divorce rate is higher than in 40 percent of states.
Other Americans are foregoing marriage to stay single and live alone, or to co-habitate with their partners without tying the knot.

Part 1: Corazon
A couple is driving in the desert of Arizona when they come across an old man who is wandering in the heat. Even though it is hot outside, the man is very cold to the touch and disoriented. The couple cannot find a car or any explanation of how the man got into the desert. They drive him to a hospital in Gallup where he is treated by a doctor from Albuquerque. The doctor is confused by the man's condition, especially a lack of circulation in his fingers that mimics frostbite. They find nothing on the man except for a printout that is identified as an architectural diagram of a church. The doctor asks a cop friend of hers to find the man's name. Just as the cop comes back with a name, the man goes into cardiac arrest...

The La Jolla Village Salons Name?

His reply was- "this is what women like, Champagne and Shampoo". So that's how the La Jolla hair salon Champagne and Shampoo name was created.

The fourth time is a charm, as Dorna has released a revised version of the 2013 MotoGP Championship calendar today. As expected, the Sachsenring round has been moved back a week, so as not to conflict with Formula One's schedule in the region.
Additionally, the Spanish GP at Jerez has been confirmed, and will remain on the schedule through the 2015 season. The Andalucian Government, Jerez City Council, and Dorna came to agreement to keep the popular event financed for the next three years.

Come on, Farrah Abraham's not signing her kid up to do porn anytime soon
Farrah Abraham is no stranger to the world of porn (she's the star of Farrah Superstar: Backdoor Teen Mom and its sequel Farrah 2: Backdoor and More), and now she's revealed exactly how she feels about her daughter following in her footsteps.
More: Chrissy Teigen has learned the single most frustrating thing about babies
Sophia is only 7 years old, but Abraham has clearly given some thought to the young girl's future career, and she would support her no matter what industry she chose to work in.
When asked about it on the Allegedly with Theo Von & Matthew Cole Weiss podcast, Abraham said it would be Sophia's "own choice" if she ventured into the porn industry. Her comment is bound to cause controversy (because this particular reality TV mom can cause controversy simply by breathing), but it's important to consider it in context. Abraham pointed out that young women might go into porn because they have no money or maternal support or if they are particularly vulnerable.
However, she also said that Sophia's future would be very different and that she was setting her "daughter up for something else better than that."
More: I'm trying and failing to keep my 4-year-old from thinking 'girls do X'
"She'll do good," Abraham asserted.
The Teen Mom OG star was also pretty sensible when she spoke about whether Sophia may be aware of her mom's porn past, saying that she has "no reason to hide anything" and that she would discuss her past with Sophia when it was age-appropriate.
Abraham's comments about her daughter doing porn are likely to cause a backlash, and while none of us would choose the sex industry as a career for any of our children, her attitude is actually pretty healthy. When our kids become adults, they are completely responsible for the choices they make — including what career path they take. As parents, all we can do is try to steer them in the right direction and support their endeavors.
More: I wish I could take back all the times I told my sons to 'man up'
With her mom's financial and emotional support, hopefully, Sophia will go on to be successful in her own right. And if she does make some bad decisions, the honest relationship her mom has tried to foster between the two of them may be what helps her turn things around.

Blondie closed the NME Awards with a bang, playing an amazing eight-song set after being presented with the Godlike Genius prize.
Debbie Harry's iconic group were handed the prestigious gong at the event - which was sponsored by the city of Austin, Texas - by Lily Allen, and closed the show with an epic performance.
Kicking off with One Way Or Another - and doing it better than One Direction ever could - the band powered through the likes of Hanging On The Telephone, A Rose By Any Name, Rapture, Sugar On the Side, Call Me and Atomic.
They brought their set to an end with a brilliant rendition of their 1979 hit Heart of Glass.
Speaking about the awards, NME editor Mike Williams said: "What an incredible night it has been! Tonight revealed the outcome of hundreds of thousands of votes by passionate music fans, reflecting just how much fantastic music there is to be celebrated both in Britain and internationally.
"We didn't think we could top 2013, but the NME Awards with Austin, Texas this year has been the biggest and the best so far, so I'm delighted we were able to bring the awards to more people than ever before via live streaming on NME.COM.
"Huge thanks must go to the amazing artists we saw perform live, the sponsors who made it all happen, and congratulations to all of the very worth winners!"

To locate the company that supplies your electricity, contact local government or municipal buildings, as well as any electric companies in your area. Another option is to use pubic records to narrow down which company services your area.Continue Reading
Your local municipal building or city hall has information about which electric companies service the city. Most cities only have one electric company, and it is usually owned by the local government. Another option is to visit the public service or utilities commission website for your state to obtain a utility map by region, county or community. This is possible because it is a tax-funded agency. Either fill out an information request online, or call to get the phone number of the electricity companies in your state.
Find the name of local electric companies in the yellow pages of the phone book or an online yellow pages site. If there are multiple companies, call the customer service departments for each to find the right provider. Some cities or states, such as larger metropolitan areas in Texas, give residents the opportunity to choose their own electric company from a few available in each region. If your city does this, find the best rate to suit your needs.Learn more about Corporations

Beyoncé's Album Still Isn't Done, Says Ne-Yo
Despite an extravagant roll-out plan — a Super Bowl, an HBO documentary, and the world tour currently under way — there is still no official word on Beyoncé's upcoming album. That is probably because it is not done, according to Ne-Yo: "I'm still putting stuff together for Beyonce's album. They're still trying to figure out what they want that to be, which I'm not mad at. Beyonce's the kind of artist where you're not gonna see it till it's right." Okay, but it must have been pretty wrong to waste all that money promoting nothing (besides Beyoncé).

SPE Student Chapter Marietta College Visit Museum
Chapter members and guests visited the Parkersburg Oil and Gas Museum. The tour started off with a video on how the American oil and gas industry started. The video also showed some old pumping units that used a single line and wooden wheels to pump all the wells in old, large fields.
After the video, the students walked around the museum and discovered the wooden wheels and other old oilfield tools such as horse transported fire carts and a nitro glycerine canister. At the end of the tour, they went outside to look at an old wire line and service truck.
The students said it was amazing to see how far the industry has come in the last century.

Gainesville CoWork offers a place for people who need a professional office setting but aren't ready for the expense and commitment of their own office.
Before Gainesville CoWork opened, New York Life financial services agent Sam Julien would meet a client at Starbucks or somewhere to write a new account, drive to Target Copy to make copies and drive to the post office to mail the paperwork.
He can now walk over from the nearby Starbucks to handle copying and mailing at the shared workspace and he is increasingly meeting clients there.
"It's probably doubled my productivity just by spending less time in a car," he said.
Gainesville CoWork offers a place for people who need a professional office setting but aren't ready for the expense and commitment of their own office. Users can pay a membership fee for free or reduced prices on a private office or common area seating, conference rooms, a phone line, secure high-speed Internet, copies and prints, and a receptionist, or nonmembers can pay for what they use for the day.
Memberships start at $1,080 annually or $100 a month for an individual. One-day use is $25 for the common area or $50 for a private office.
Gainesville CoWork was founded by Peter West, who worked out of his house or a coffee shop when he started his information technology business, Staunch Systems, and was looking for a professional place to meet clients.
West did not need the support services offered by business incubators such as the Santa Fe Center for Innovation and Economic Development or the University of Florida Innovation Hub, but was not established enough to get his own space.
Once he was able to get his own space, he decided to share it with Gainesville CoWork to give others in a similar situation a place to do business when they needed it.
CoWork opened in the early fall.
Julien was the first customer. He uses the common area about four days a week and last month used a conference room to hold a seminar about estate planning and life insurance.
"It fills a really good niche for the nonstartup, independent contractor kind of person," Julien said. "The whole pay-for-what-you-use is a great model for people who might only be in town for a couple days a week. That's why it's attractive to insurance. If you're out in the field making sales calls, you might only come to the office a couple days a week."
Co-working spaces have been popping up nationwide in recent years. About a dozen have opened or are planned in South Florida, the Miami Herald reported.
With the economy struggling, people are trying to create their own jobs, said David Kim, CoWork account manager.
And the push for innovation means people with great ideas also need places to get started, said Kristen Mankosa, spokeswoman for CoWork.
"The incubators are there to help you. We're here for the next step, for the people who are working independently," she said.
Many co-work spaces are geared toward providing a collaborative environment for technology start-ups, such as the Founders Pad in downtown Gainesville.
With many local techies attracted to downtown, Gainesville CoWork in Magnolia Parke in northwest Gainesville has attracted professional services.
ProActive Tax & Accounting has leased a private office that it staffs one or two days a week.
Beth Davies said they wanted to be the resident accounting firm since CoWork is geared toward startup and growing businesses.
"That's exactly who we're trying to reach," she said.
The location also allows her to keep a presence in Gainesville for clients who balked at her move to Jonesville after partnering with Pam Burns.
Brian Shey, an insurance broker for SterlingWyatt, leased a private office because he wanted a secure location when he is traveling for his work as an NCAA basketball referee or when he is working out of his other office in Charlotte, N.C.
"I'm really only in town two, three days a week," he said. "For a smaller company, it just makes a lot of sense to be able to have a location, but when you start looking at paying rent, the overhead of electric, cable, phone, Internet and then it all rolls into one, it becomes very affordable to be able to do this."

Some of the best holidays include some mountain air, deep powder and amazing scenery. We love getting on a mountain whenever there's a chance to slide down it again and again…and again!
You'll already know that it can be a costly past time with all the gear, travel and accommodation anywhere that's alpine. But if something should go wrong whilst you're at the top of a mountain, the cost of travel insurance will seem insignificant.
Imagine injuring yourself on a mountain, overseas. First, you pay for a helicopter to get you to the nearest hospital. Then, you pay the local hospital costs (remember that you will probably need to prove you can pay before you get help in most countries, or get credit card approval at least). Then, you'll need to rebook your flights home and pay to change all of your plans. You might even need an ambulance to the airport. Ouch!
The medical costs are going to hurt a whole lot more than your broken leg and probably for a lot longer!
Our travel insurance will look after your medical evacuation, hospital and doctors' fees and we'll even pay for the changes to your flights and get you back home safe and fast. Phew!
Ski and snow cover is already included
Did you know SCTI's TravelCare policy provides comprehensive travel insurance including ski and snow cover at no additional cost? Now you do.
What you need to know
You'll need to make sure you're skiing or boarding in an amateur downhill ski field and you're within the designated commercial area. Just don't go forging off into closed sections or 'off-piste' in areas outside the designated ski field area - unfortunately we can't cover you for that.
You should also be aware, that sporting equipment (skis or snowboards), will not be covered for damage whilst in use. For example, if you were skiing, had a tumble and broke your leg and your skis, you would be covered for your broken leg, but not for your damaged skis. But, if you your skis were broken while they were in checked luggage (and your airline refused to compensate you for the damage) you would be covered.
For more information, watch this video and check out our skiing and snowboarding article.
As with any insurance policy, terms and conditions apply. Please read the Combined FSG and PDS including Policy Wording to make sure TravelCare is right for you and your next ski or snow adventure overseas.
Comprehensive travel insurance cover
Our policy offers a comprehensive range of benefits, including cover for:
- Unlimited medical and evacuation expenses, with no excess for medical claims
- Cancellation fees and lost deposits
- Damaged or lost baggage
- Personal items if they are stolen or damaged
- Rental car excess should you have an accident
- Emergency dental treatment
- Funeral costs
24/7 worldwide emergency assistance
Our worldwide emergency assistance team are only a phone call away, available 24 hours, 7 days a week. Should the unexpected happen and you require urgent help, please do not hesitate to call us.

Source Code
In Duncan Jones's sci-fi thriller Source Code, Jake Gyllenhaal plays Captain Colter Stevens, a U.S. Army helicopter pilot who awakens after an enemy ambush to find himself sitting on a Chicago-bound commuter train, surrounded by strangers, with absolutely no idea how he got there. As he struggles to process his strange new milieu, he's pestered with small-talk by a perky fellow-passenger (Michelle Monaghan) whom he doesn't recognize, but who clearly seems to know him. When he looks into a mirror, staring back at him is the image of a man, who, while handsome, is certainly no Jake Gyllenhaal. What Hitchcockian hell has Captain Stevens wandered into? Could it all be a dream?
Before Colter can ponder matters further, a massive explosion sends him hurtling into oblivion, from which he emerges, intact, strapped to a chair inside a dark capsule-like enclosure. A woman, Goodwin (Vera Farmiga), pops up on a video screen and tersely informs him that he is now part of a new, high-tech front in the War on Terror: Source Code, an experimental program that allows a person to assume the identity of someone else during the last eight minutes of his or her life. Whoever planted the bomb on the train is said to be readying another, far deadlier attack to unleash on Chicago in a matter of hours. The only hope for preventing it is for Colter to repeatedly scour the memory of one of the train's deceased passengers in the hopes of finding clues that might help them determine the identity of the bomber.
Soon Colter finds himself in an existence not unlike that of Bill Murray's character in Groundhog Day, revisiting the same eight-minute scenario over and over again. As a soldier, his first instinct is to try and prevent the explosion from happening and save the lives of the innocents on board. But doing so is futile, Source Code's creepy and condescending inventor, Dr. Walter Rutledge (Jeffrey Wright), glibly explains. Source Code is not a time-travel machine but rather a "time-reassignment" device built on principles of quantum mechanics and parabolic calculus that Colter's feeble mind couldn't possibly comprehend. The train bombing is a part of the past, which is unalterable; Stevens' actions to prevent its occurrence, however heroic, have no real-world ramifications. He is simply a detective whose crime scene is the residual consciousness - the "after-image" - of a dead man's brain.
But if that were true, Colter wouldn't be able to exit the train, make cell phone calls, strike a romantic chord with Monaghan's character, or engage in various other activities that we see him perform in the film, activities that lie well beyond the experiential purview of the dead man's final memories. Could it be that the Source Code program is actually something more profound, perhaps a kind of portal to a parallel universe? (Jones's usage of Scott Bakula, star of TV's Quantum Leap, in a clever cameo as the Colter's father, provides a strong hint.) Colter's own experiences seem to confirm as much: Each time the train-bombing scenario unfolds, he notices subtle differences in seemingly trivial details, like the timing of a coffee spill. No two universes, after all, can ever be exactly alike.
This little twist exposes some potential issues with Source Code's underlying logic, chief among them being questions about the reliability of any "evidence" uncovered by Colter in his quantum adventures. The narrative asks us to take a few logical leaps of faith, and I humbly suggest you comply. Source Code is more than strong enough as a film - an intelligent, probing sci-fi thriller that packs a surprisingly strong emotional punch - to withstand any nitpicking about its theoretical veracity. Director Jones's ambitions are grander, his aim more mainstream, his tone more hopeful this time around than in his haunting 2009 breakout hit, Moon, but the result is just as resonant.

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: Damon Helps Elena Handle Another Death
Plus, Elena metaphorically burns her past in an attempt to move forward. But also literally. She literally burns down her past.
"My brother can't be dead!" This was pretty much Elena's (Nina Dobrev) mantra through the first half of The Vampire Diaries' Feb. 21 episode — until she finally realized that Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen) is, in fact, super dead. Then came the real show: tears, screaming, the works. It's like she'd been bottling up all of her reactions from the millions of deaths in her family — her real parents, her fake parents, Jenna, Alaric, and now Jeremy — then decided to release it all in one CW-Emmy-worthy explosion of rage and grief.
Ultimately, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) decided it would be best to help Elena shut off her emotions completely — an idea he will certainly soon regret — in order to relieve his sweet, sweet doppelganger of her pain. The moment you saw the change in Elena's eyes, after Damon sire-bond-forced her to forget about her feelings, was nothing short of chilling.
And in one final act of emotional rebellion, Elena set fire to her house, and the audience watched as the final pieces of her humanity — her home, her brother, and even the very diaries from which this whole show gets its title — went up in flames. When The Vampire Diaries returns with new episodes next month, I hope fans are ready for a whole-new Elena. Because that's exactly what we're going to get.
Hats off to Nina for delivering a power-house performance, and hats off to Julie Plec for writing quite possibly the best episode in the show's history. There may not have been as much action as we're used to, but there was more emotion than I've ever seen packed into a single hour of this show.
And that's saying something!
Bonnie Has Officially Lost Her Damn Mind
A natural reaction to an ex-boyfriend's death is sadness. But because Bonnie (Kat Graham) is anything but natural, her reaction to Jeremy's passing is to kill 12 people, thus dropping the veil between the land of the living and the realm of all dead supernatural creatures. I know she's a witch, and witches are allowed to be a little bit crazy, but she needs to put down Professor Eyebrows' Kool-Aid and think about her life choices. Even Caroline (Candice Accola) told Bonnie she was being crazy, and Caroline's the one who's been toying with the idea of dating Klaus. So she knows crazy!
Bonnie spent much of the hour having little side chats with Shane (David Alpay), but as we saw during Rebekah's (Claire Holt) late-night walk around the island, it wasn't actually Shane that Bonnie was talking to. The bushy-eyebrow'd professor is still very much dying a slow death on the ground of the island, which means the "Shane" Bonnie thinks she's been talking to is actually a Silas-induced illusion.
I guess without Jeremy around to explain what's real and what's not, Bonnie is going to be crazier than ever. This should be fun.
Matt Donovan's Hugs Cure Grief — And Probably Cancer, Too
As much as I hate to see the good people of Mystic Falls experience even the slightest bit of heartache, I do appreciate the fact that it gives Matt Donovan (Zach Roerig) a chance to shine. We all know that what he does best — besides throw a football and look stunningly beautiful — is fix people's problems with his warm words and supernaturally friendly hugs. As I said last season, he is the human Band-Aid, which we saw tonight as he placed himself over Elena's gaping emotional wound.
That said, it was especially heartbreaking watching Matt sobbing over Jeremy in his truck. All alone. We've seen Matt deal with plenty of tragedies on this show so far — the death of his own sister, Vicki, to name a big one — but I don't think we've ever seen him at the end of his emotional rope. … Until tonight.
Who will console the professional consoler?!
Caroline + Tyler 4ever
When you lose someone close to you, or even when you see someone else lose someone close to them, it usually makes you think about the people that matter in your own life. For Caroline, that person is Tyler (Michael Trevino), who she couldn't resist calling in the final moments of the episode. You can tell the separation is killing her, which means we can anticipate plenty of hot hybrid sex upon his triumphant return to Mystic Falls — whenever that is.
Stefan & Damon Share A Bro-ment
Another reason I have to salute Julie Plec is for the Stefan (Paul Wesley)-and-Damon scene she wrote at the end of the episode. Right before Elena literally torched her house and moved in with the brothers permanently, Stefan and Damon shared a moment — a bro-ment, if you will — that perfectly summed up their relationship in very few words. As much as they may fight about absolutely everything, they're brothers, and they really do love each other.
Stefan: "I just want you to know…"
Damon: "I know, Stefan."
Brotherly love… so beautiful, right?

text: 45 Chapter 11. Writing Business Letters In this lesson you learn the fundamentals of writing business letters and see how several of the principles of good internal communication also apply to external communication. Creating a Business Letter Crafting a well-thought-out business letter can be equally as or more important than crafting a well- reasoned internal memo. In a business letter, you represent the company to someone outside the organization. Your letter will affect the reader's perception not only of you, but of your company as well. Since the reputation of the company is important, you want your letter to be perceived in the best, most professional light. There are a host of books devoted to the subject of writing business letters; in this lesson, we'll cover the key principles that will enable you to communicate more effectively in your letters.

Bergljót Arnalds
Mr_Goose777 was written on October 1, 2000
We only really get to see Bergljót's tits once when the doctor examines them due to a small burn on her arm. About 30 seconds after this scence Bergljót is being rooted in an upstairs room by the doctor but we don't get to see this up close which is really unfortunate as it would have been really nice. A litle while after this scene Bergljót is getting rooted from behind quite violently on the dining room table which makes her very big breasts jiggle like jello which is very nice.

Looking for a Boy
The lush, lovesick sound of Rufus Wainwright.
By now, popular music consumers of all stripes should be willing to stipulate that punk's wholesale assault on the culture a quarter-century ago was, in the end, a net gain: a welcome storming of rock 'n' roll's corrupt Bastille. Still, the collateral damage incurred during this anarchic uprising—and well into its new-wave and alt-rock aftermaths—can't be ignored. Among the casualties were those time-honored hallmarks of pre-punk songwriting: craft and sentiment. By the early 1980s, a new orthodoxy of hip was emerging, disseminated via 'zines and college radio, and its dicta were firm. Henceforth, musical craftsmanship would be secondary to raw authenticity. As for lyrical emotion—the kind that had given pop music its reason for being since the first smitten troubadour picked up a lute—the historically predominant, direct strain of it was to be regarded with suspicion. Notions of love and romance could only be approached in a sidelong or kitschy fashion and in all cases had to be filtered through the newly defined prism of cool: a smirking jadedness that acknowledged the banality of a phrase so nakedly straightforward as "I love you." Intimacy was awkward and embarrassing; in its stead, the brightest songwriters came up with a million different ways to describe the sad, sweeping distance between people, leaving love songs—now anathematized by the new mandarins of cool as mere kid's stuff—to those for whom they were intended: kids.
Twenty years later, a female-led counterrevolution unfolded, with smart singer-songwriters like Lucinda Williams, Sarah McLachlan, and Ani DiFranco making eloquent, persuasive cases for romantic excess. Now, finally, the boys have their own brilliant and charismatic counterpart: Rufus Wainwright. The 27-year-old singer-songwriter has just released his second album, Poses, on the DreamWorks label; it follows his eponymous 1998 debut, which garnered critical raves from a rock press that made much of Wainwright's pedigree (his father is the dry-witted folkie Loudon Wainwright III; Canadian singer-songwriter Kate McGarrigle is his mother) and made even more of his unabashed, almost atavistic romanticism. After two decades in the trenches of post-punk cynicism, pop music journalists seemed surprised by—and maybe even grateful for—Wainwright's elegantly composed and arranged songs of dreamy love and old-fashioned anguish. In his music one could hear snippets of songwriting's titans: Weill, Sondheim, and the Gershwins were all in there somewhere, as were their more contemporary progeny Randy Newman, Tom Waits, and Van Dyke Parks (who offered his arranging and producing services for the album). Yet the songs were wholly original and in no way derivative. Here, finally, was someone who might be brave and talented enough to reclaim pop's birthright: splendid, unfiltered feeling.
Poses ably fulfills Wainwright's early promise. It's one of those rare albums about which one can honestly say that there's not a bad track on it (even if one of its best songs does rather pointlessly appear twice). And aside from being virtuosic, clever, heartbreaking and just generally gorgeous, it is also unapologetically sentimental: the vision of a man for whom strong emotions like lovesickness or vulnerability are nothing to be ashamed of.
The album begins with "Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk," a confession of mundane weaknesses that elliptically suggest far more scandalous ones. "If I should buy jelly beans," Wainwright sings over a jaunty electric piano processional, "have to eat them all in just one sitting/ Everything it seems I like's a little bit sweeter, a little bit fatter, a little bit harmful for me." Right off the bat we're introduced to a character for whom neediness is going to be an unavoidable issue: If you can't take it, Wainwright is warning us, get out now. From there we're invited to bask in the semester-abroad exoticism of "
Wainwright is openly gay, and in a recent interview in the print version of Nerve magazine, he admitted to a near-tragic attraction to straight men. The song "Grey Gardens" opens with a sound bite from the Maysles brothers' 1975 documentary of the same name, an accidental camp classic that followed Jackie O.'s cousin Edith "Little Edie" Beale around the creepy rooms and hallways of the decrepit East Hampton mansion she shared with her domineering mother. But the film that the song truly reflects isn't the one whose title it shares; rather, it's Luchino Visconti's 1971 masterpiece Death in Venice, based on Thomas Mann's novel about a sexually and emotionally repressed composer who falls madly in love with a 15-year-old (and presumably straight) Adonis that he spies in a Venetian hotel. The angular melody, which brings to mind Elvis Costello or maybe David Byrne at either's poppiest, is haunted by the oft-repeated name "Tadzio"—which happens to be the name of the beautiful boy who serves as both the muse and downfall of Death in Venice's doomed hero. Is it a coincidence that the narrator of the next song, "
Wainwright doesn't eschew irony altogether: It's just that his particular brand of the stuff—unlike, say, Beck's or Radiohead's—isn't as chilly, and it isn't designed to poke fun at the uninitiated or underscore pangs of social alienation. Take a seemingly straight-ahead cover of a song composed by Wainwright's father. Depending on your point of view, "
Probably because he happens to be gay, clever, and a highly skilled architect of song, Rufus Wainwright has been christened a Gen X Cole Porter. A more apt comparison, however, is to the Gershwins, George and Ira, whose cleverness was always tempered by tenderness, and whose songs were ultimately much more about romantic yearning than arch wordplay. It's been a while since someone realized that the two aren't mutually exclusive.

Over the course of its history, Israel has faced a series of attempts to uproot the Jewish people from its land, including terrorism and massive conventional armies. Today the main threat comes from thousands of rockets and missiles in the hands primarily of Hezbollah, Hamas and their patron Iran. Israel's development of missile defenses to counter this threat is a technological triumph, but also creates a set of strategic dilemmas.

A year after the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) on Iran's nuclear program was announced, Iran unquestionably has gotten the better of the deal. The agreement made public last July in Vienna, and the policy decisions attending its implementation, show a clear pattern of unilateral Iranian demands being met by unforced U.S. concessions. In consequence, Iran's nuclear weapons program and sway in the Middle East will continue to grow, while U.S. deterrence and influence will diminish and the risks of conflict will mount.

As President Obama prepares to head to the G-20 summit this weekend in Antalya, Turkey, he faces a dilemma: how to relate to his host, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. The de facto leader of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) which has ruled Turkey essentially uninterruptedly since 2002 and won another smashing victory in November 1 parliamentary elections, Erdogan has become increasingly authoritarian.

Russia's involvement in Syria raises many questions. What do they hope to achieve? Why have they chosen to increase their troop deployments and increase their involvement at this particular time? Will their intervention lead to positive developments for the Assad regime on the battlefield? If not, what is the Russian exit strategy in case of failure in Syria? How will the Russians react if they begin to lose soldiers and planes?
