This member has provided no bio about themself...
actually, the textures for HL1 never have to be that detailed.. it's harder to do for HL2.
the monster looks creepy, nice work.
yep, way too dark..
i think it's the image, not your pc, that's set too dark.
i've never heard of this mod, but the teaser was pretty cool, now i'm curious what this mod is about.
..gary busey's son?
not in a million years!
as has been stated more than once.. that haircut makes it look like he's wearing a ragged hoodie.. short hair would probabyl suit him better.
good god, do yourself a favour and get a pentablet..
nevermind that.. i thought that i'd read somewhere that you'd enhanced the graphics a bit, but it appears you didnt't.
can you maybe post some screenshots showing the difference between normal crysis, and your altered version, for comparison?
thanosh might be right.. this is gonna be a bitch to fill up, and it's probably still gonna look empty after that.. that's the downside to creating larger rooms in HL2..
hmm, it looks like you just made a texture of four tiles and kept tiling that.. it wouldn't hurt to include more tiles in the texture, so that the tiling doesn't look so obvious..(wow that's a weird sentence)
don't know if that made any sense.
speculars tend to get waaay too shiny in HL2 for some reason, it's best to turn the specmap down to near-black for a realistic reflection..
also, matt is right, the walls and floor look too bumpy.
ehm.. don't you think you're getting a little over-excited.. :S
it's only a dark patch of land..
i've only played a bit of the mod, but i really like the total conversion you did and the style is pretty neat too, but one thing really bothers me;
there's no save or quicksave option, and that's kinda what made me stop playing it, cause having to start over at that asylum every time really ruined it for me.
otherwise, great work.
no, leave the aliens out.. aliens and predator are two different universes that have been glued together as a lame combo, which was never meant to be.
don't screw up your mod with trying to include the xenomorphs too..
i like the idea of a predator mod in a crysis jungle, but adding aliens too would just be a waste of time and gameplay.
I like the parallax mapping with matching borders, and the soft bodies.. but i'm wondering if you're sticking your time in the right things.
are you still making a mod, or are you planning to make a whole new game?
i don't see anything.. :S
is that supposed to be a cat?
you should put some lights in this scene, cause you can't make anything out of this..
nevermind those 'zombies', there's a SPAS with a magazine here!?
you must have one good reason to do this..
it's a shame that you don't see any of the nice geometry that was used for the drillbit in first-person view..
btw is this a drill or just a huge corkscrew ;D ?
it all looks decent, but it wouldn't hurt to add a bit more geometry to these large rooms, to make it feel less empty ;)
great work, and these character renders that you make are real classy!
je weet het!~
great texture-work, really impressive!
the texture can't 'hide' the tiny normalmap detail, because it only shows when the light hits the model.. this is not wasted work.
what i am wondering was, this doesn't happen to be a single frame of a sequence for this dino, right?
because if it's not, i want to know why you modeled this in this position, instead of in the idle pose..
the model looks great btw, awesome work.
it looks like a zbrush or mudbox model, which is way to high-detail for any pc atm.
best dinosaur i've seen on moddb so far; keep up the great work!

A Cupfl Of Grateful…

A Cupfl Of Grateful

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.

This Christmas was quite a different one for us. With an unplanned cross country move the week of Christmas, my perfectly crafted Holiday went down the drain.

It was not in my hands anymore to be certain that the packages were wrapped to perfection, the perfectly posed christmas card never got sent. My monogrammed,home made gifts were not going to get finished.

I felt sorry for myself - like something had been stolen from me.

Then I was reminded of what have something irreplaceable taken from you really means.

 I always like to say that I am a very practical person. Really. When it comes to receiving a gift I cherish things more that I can actually use regularly as opposed to something ornamental, fashionable, or cliche. Even growing up I much preferred things such as art supplies, or books, or sheet music or clothes as opposed to whatever toy happened to be advertised that year (except for my ALF doll, I really did want an ALF doll! Ha!). In fact, I sometimes think that my love…

 I always like to say that I am a very practical person. Really. When it comes to receiving a gift I cherish things more that I can actually use regularly as opposed to something ornamental, fashionable, or cliche. Even growing up I much preferred things such as art supplies, or books, or sheet music or clothes as opposed to whatever toy happened to be advertised that year (except for my ALF doll, I really did want an ALF doll! Ha!). In fact, I sometimes think that my love of practical gifts sometimes makes people, including my husband, have to work harder, although for one: I never expect gifts from anyone, ever ( and I mean it); and two: I am truly happy with anything I receive (and I mean this, too).

 I think the idea of gift giving can lead to a lot of unnecessary stress for people, in particular when it comes to children. There is always this air of judgement and competition when it comes to gift giving that we try not to admit is there, however the commercialism of holidays makes sure to ingrain this into our psyche. And although this is not something I try to abide by, and definitely do not want my son to ever feel either, I do always do my best to find something special for each and every person and I do my very best to make sure this something is both unique and practical. Yes, you can be practical with children's gifts. Here's how:

How old is the child? Are they in school? Do they like to read? Draw? Do they play an instrument? Dance? Have a special hobby?

 Consider all of these things when selecting a gift. A child into art would love to have some new canvases or paints and supplies displayed nicely in a new art box. Or maybe a dancer would like some new leggings or a pair of shoes. A craft lover (as I was as a child) would sure to love some new beads, or yarn, or whatever it is they fancy. Places like AC Moore and Michael's have boxed kits this time of year that usually range between $5 - $10 and can be combined with a weekly add coupon. Have a child who loves cars and trains? Depending on the age you can use the same idea and purchase them a kit where they can build their own toy. Also, keep simple things in mind for stockings: crayons and markers are always fun; maybe a musician in the family could use some new strings, a pocket tuner, some new drumsticks, picks, etc...; an athlete could probably use things like sports tape, some balls or hockey pucks, or new wheels for a favorite skateboard. All of these gifts are thoughtful, can be personalized, and can remain very inexpensive if you do some creative shopping. They also may help parents out who may not always have the money to keep their child's hobby boxes full.

 When it comes down to it price always does matter. Do we have a lot to spend or very little? If you are like many, including me, you have only a little at times and need to put yourself to work. This is where skills like knitting, sewing and crocheting prove very useful.

 If your child (or the child the gift is for) has a special cartoon or movie character they adore, you can make them something as simple as a cute winter hat or scarf with that character on it (check out THIS Pinterest board I put together for inspiration) or as elaborate as a full costume to play dress up. I have done this a few times personally and have had nothing but smiling faces.

 Lets face it, very small children do not need a whole lot and parents don't want their house clogged with toys, toys, and more toys their child may or may not use. Instead of spending big bucks on the hot new item (the someone else is, too, sure to buy) think of the things the parents can really use for their child. Could they use some clothing for their child? Maybe a new bedspread is something they could really use (you can incorporate the child's interests in this one as well) and either cannot afford or simply didn't think of. Being considerate of these things can go a long way and will be very appreciated.

 Also, try to find things that they can actually do with their kids. Maybe tickets to a show or the circus or some new books to read together or a game to play. There are a lot of ways to use "points" you accumulate in various ways to get things like museum tickets or movie passes. For instance we have recycling rewards where I live and I like to cash these in for free or discounted passes to museums. Again, you can be creative in the means if money is tight. Also, you're making it about the quality time together, which is much more meaningful in the end.

 I hope these ideas have helped you gather some of your own! If you have some practical gift ideas of your own I'd love to hear them so post in the comments section below!

Elijah was pretty excited when he realized today that Thanksgiving is not very far away. He's looking forward to the "big feast," he said.

For the last two years, Elijah has enjoyed contributing to the Thanksgiving "feasting" by making a dish to share with our families: fruit cocktail with marshmallows. However, in the last few months, he's been asking to expand his culinary skills in the kitchen. Apparently he wants to be able to do more than empty a can of fruit into a bowl and stir in some marshmallows. So, we've been working on that. Read more...

 Can We Please Say Goodbye to Goody Bags? tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2015-10-07:988554:BlogPost:1648173 2015-10-07T15:20:42.000Z Ellie Hirsch http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/EllieHirsch

Let's cut right to the chase people. Goody bags are basically pointless and usually end up in the garbage, right? Can we come together as moms to ban the goody bag? Please?

Why do we often feel the need to wow our little guests when the party ends with a plastic bag of…well…crap. Do our children need another piece of candy? NO! How about one more pencil to add to our junk drawer filled with…you guessed it, unsharpened pencils from previous birthday parties? NO THANKS! What is exciting about yet another plastic yo-yo or rubber bouncing ball? NOTHING!

Let me get this straight. So we the parents, shell out hundreds of dollars so our children can celebrate their birthdays with friends and then have to give gifts thanking them for coming? The party, pizza and cake aren't enough?

It's not the parents, it's the kids! They expect a goody bag and really don't care what's inside. It's that plastic bag of stuff that makes them feel like, "Yeah, I came, I conquered and now I'm leaving with something". Really? I say we all band together and ban the goody bag!

To all those moms on Pinterest, I give you tons of kudos and love looking at your works of art. Your creativity is beyond impressive but I am not even attempting to go there.

I've thought about donating money to a charity in honor of the children who attended the party and while I love that idea, the kids want to walk away with something in hand and I get it. I don't like it, but I get it. Do I want to be known as the loser mom who didn't give out something cool? Will I be thrown into the fire with the moms who gave out raisins for Halloween and scarred their kids for life? (Sorry mom…it had to be said).

My son's seventh birthday party is actually this weekend and I am panicking. I would rather spend the extra money on the party instead of the stupid loot bags….does anyone even call it that anymore? Do I start a trend and not give party favors this year? What if I hear a child say to his mom, "Where's the goody bag"? I would feel like a party planner failure. My son already told me his party would stink without an exit gift to his friends.

In any case, someone has to be the first and be labeled the bad guy. The question is do I want it to be me? I am a trend setter and a leader, not a follower…right? Moms, I know you hate goody bags as much as I do. I have had this conversation with many of you before so don't deny that you despise them too.

Here's to the end of the goody bags that were never really good. So long pointless plastic toys. See yah stale Smarties®. Bye bye boring bubbles.

Can we do this…YES WE CAN (Did I give you visions of Bob the Builder? Sorry.)

TOGETHER WE CAN MASTER MOTHERHOOD™…and Goody Bags!

And I know it's a few years off, but I'm excited for the days when Hollis will bring maccaroni art and adorable scribbled cards home from school for Mother's Day. I still remember making those things for my mom and feeling pretty solid that my handmade creation was the greatest gift ever, and I'm sure my mom felt the same way. Since Mother's Day is only a few weeks away, I thought I'd compile a list of ideas for that special mom in your life....or for yourself!

Mother's Day Gift Guide

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

Robe

A nice new robe. These are especially handy for when you have to jump out of the shower to see why your child is screaming or why they are being suspiciously quiet. I love this black and white window pane print. Or An extra pretty robe for when you want to feel like a lady. Also good for throwing on and hiding baby spit-up or yogurt smears from your littles.

Earrings

What mama doesn't need simple, pretty earrings that go with practically everything? I love a classic stud that I can wear from day to night. Or a really pretty statement earring that can dress up any outfit and get her plenty of compliments!

Beauty Products

This one can be a little tricky as some women are pretty particular about their beauty products. But a safe bet would be to stick with a really luxe feeling body lotion or a nice body scrub. Plus all that lotioning and exfoliating can snag her/you a few extra minutes in the shower. Anything that makes her feel pampered is a good thing!

Nice Pj's

I admit I usually consider an old t-shirt as proper sleep attire, but sometimes it's really nice to put on something that looks nice and makes you feel like a lady. The only matching pj sets I own are ones that were gifted to me. I never buy nice pj's for myself, but I LOVE getting them as gifts.

Customized Jewelry

Jewelry is awesome. Jewelry that reminds you of your sweet little babes is extra awesome. I think these matching mom and daughter bracelets are just so stinking cute. They come in cute colors and can be customized with little charms. Or a dainty initial necklace with your little ones initials will go with anything and keep them close to your heart. Awwww...

Marketing. It's a word that simultaneously excites me and makes me cringe. Platforms are constantly changing, making it difficult to reach a target market (ahem, Facebook), prospective customers are tuning out more and more because there is a constant glut of information being thrown at them, key performance metrics that trended positive six months ago may not mean much now because marketing channels are flooded with content and becoming largely ineffective.

Marketing. It's a word that simultaneously excites me and makes me cringe. Platforms are constantly changing, making it difficult to reach a target market (ahem, Facebook), prospective customers are tuning out more and more because there is a constant glut of information being thrown at them, key performance metrics that trended positive six months ago may not mean much now because marketing channels are flooded with content and becoming largely ineffective.

So the question is...with all these obstacles, how can you make your company stand out against the competition?

Unfortunately, I don't have an answer. But I can tell you that testing the effectiveness of marketing channels is becoming critically important to companies with small budgets and the best way to test is to first get feedback from your potential customers. Hence, the reason why marketing excites me. Valuable feedback yields potential for new ideas and opportunities for innovation. YAY! Right up my alley. =)

21 Gift Ideas That Technology Made Possible

There were several that really popped out…really super-cool, sleek and cutting-edge. Check out these awesome finds and support these fabulous females this holiday season!!!

Elemoon - Jing Zhou, Co-Founder & CEO – Boring rubber wristbands…yeah, they're considered "smart tech" but they are NOT considered stylish…at least not by self-proclaimed fashionistas like myself. Elemoon combines a touch interface, activity sensor, notifications and colorful lights into one elegant accessory. The Elemoon's LED light designs and colors can be customized to match different outfits. Can we say WINNER????

Ringly Smart Jewelry - Christina Mercando, Founder & CEO – Love the look of this finger bling! I hate the feeling that I'm going to miss an important text or call when I'm out, but I also dislike carrying my phone in hand. This brilliant tech invention comes with an app that helps you decide what's important and what's not. If something is critical, your ring will alert you by buzzing or lighting up while your phone is tucked safely away in your bag. And it's PRETTY…crafted with a rhodium plated setting and a tourmalated quartz semi-precious stone and available in black onyx, pink sapphire, rainbow moonstone and emerald. YUM!

Everpurse - Liz Salcedo, Founder & CEO – Brilliant! How many times are you in the situation where you've completely drained your device battery from obsessively checking Facebook and your email? Everpurse is a clutch that charges your iPhone 5, iPhone 5s, iPhone 5c, or Samsung Galaxy S4. You charge the clutch on a mat overnight and when you wake up in the morning, you can keep your phone juiced for up to 48 hours!

CuffLink - Deepa Sood, Founder – Cuff smart wearable technology enables you to connect with friends and family members in emergency situations. Activating the device will send a notification with your GPS location. It also incorporates audio so whoever you notify can hear what's happening around you. Safety plus fashion equals a surefire winner!!

 oh La La! Réalité

Being French – Francois Roland

François Roland is thoroughly, irrepressibly French – Parisian, in fact! His book, Being French! A Frenchman's Guide to a More Sensual Life, is a memoir as well as a collection of essays about sensuality. In it, Roland shares his own experiences and insights gained from a rich and intense sensual life, and from that perspective, the book proposes to its readers that they envision sensuality from a distinctly French point of view.

What allows some people to have satisfying, harmonious, and happy sensual lives while others are miserable and unfulfilled? Roland came to realize that the French probably handle sensual life quite differently than people elsewhere and maybe with a better prospect of making it delightful, fulfilling, and an integral part of a full and balanced life.

Start with a once-conflicted, twice-divorced single mother, toss in some humorous self-discovery, sprinkle in a smattering of questionable dating profiles, and wrap it all up in a very colourful package that will make you want to laugh, cry and have you want to read the whole book in one sitting!

Every year I say the same thing, "don't overdo it, Krystal!". What do I end up doing? You guessed it. Don't we all though? You're walking through the store and those little voices go off in your head as you near the toy aisle of just how much this would make your daughter light up. Or how much fun your son would have building this with his dad. The list goes on. We're always finding ways to justify overdoing it for our kids. And why not? They're our kids!

Every year I say the same thing, "don't overdo it, Krystal!". What do I end up doing? You guessed it. Don't we all though? You're walking through the store and those little voices go off in your head as you near the toy aisle of just how much this would make your daughter light up. Or how much fun your son would have building this with his dad. The list goes on. We're always finding ways to justify overdoing it for our kids. And why not? They're our kids!  Since we want to always give our kids everything we can on Christmas and during the holidays, I've compiled a list of some non-toy ideas for underneath the tree.

Non-Toy Ideas for Gifts

Classes - You've heard it a hundred times. "Mom, I want to take karate!" "Mom, I wanna go to ballet school!" Our kids see something their friends are doing or something on television and suddenly they aspire to be that too. Honestly, I'm all for my kids trying out anything they want to. If it works out, great. If not, at least they tried something new. So why not make this the perfect time to finally make their aspirations happen and try enrolling them in a fun extra curricular activity.

A Family Vacation - It doesn't have to be Disney World (although, that is one great idea). You can choose your local camp ground, a fun night in the city, a local water park with a resort, etc. Whatever your family loves to do. Book a fun trip. And if you do chose something like Disney that is a distance from you (lucky to you who are close ;) ) make it a big fun gift for everyone. Put together a surprise opening and make it a memory to last of the reactions of your kids. The holidays are a perfect time to surprise them with a fun outing.

Fun Events - Check out if there are any fun events coming to a town near you. Disney on Ice, a character meet and greet, basketball game, etc. All of those things are great ideas to surprise your kiddos with an outing to look forward with. We're taking our daughter to see Elsa from Frozen next week. Talk about a treat!

Season Passes - Do you have a local water park? Maybe passes to the zoo? All of these ideas just keep on giving the whole year round. Create memories that last outside of just the home and enjoy time out with the family.

 Millennials and the Holiday Spirit tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2013-12-22:988554:BlogPost:1473751 2013-12-22T23:39:45.000Z Sandwiched Boomers http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/PhyllisGoldbergPhD

Although it may be the holiday season, as far as presents go that doesn't mean a whole lot to Millennials. Like so many other issues, they have their own ideas about gift giving. Apparently what they want is cash, mostly to pay down college costs and other debt.

Although it may be the holiday season, as far as presents go that doesn't mean a whole lot to Millennials. Like so many other issues, they have their own ideas about gift giving. Apparently what they want is cash, mostly to pay down college costs and other debt.

So much for the negative stereotype that those born between 1980 and 2000 are lazy and have a sense of entitlement. Millennials are laboring under a collective $1 trillion in debt from student loans and still struggling to find jobs. Yet a survey of 6,500 members of the so-called 'Me Generation' indicates that last year well over half of them made donations to charitable causes and volunteered their time.

Money is but one venue for generosity. Kindness is an even more valuable currency. Alan Cohen, author

As the parents of Millennials, no matter what gifts you're giving this year, you probably want to spend holiday time with family. Here are ideas for you and your Millennials that include the spirit of giving back:

Give the gift of connection. Put heart in your relationships. Make a weekly date and take your own parents to lunch, a museum or the movies. Send a card to an old friend you've lost contact with - enclose a photo, your email address and a promise to keep in touch. Drive an elderly neighbor to run errands, the grocery store, a doctor's appointment.

Give to a worthy cause. Get the family together and help cook the holiday meal at a homeless shelter. Pass forward unused gifts or toys. Make a donation to your favorite Aunt's charity of choice. Buy a present for a street person you pass regularly and make eye contact when you give it.

Give of yourself. Invite friends over for a potluck and an evening of fun. Why not cook the main dishes and have them bring an appetizer or dessert? Cut down on expenses by exchanging memories instead of gifts. Create a coupon book filled with orders for good deeds. Add a personal touch by baking cookies with the kids. Show others you care with an IOU for babysitting so they can enjoy a much-needed date night.

Attention is the purest form of generosity. Simone Weil, philosopher

Isn't it time for change in your gift giving rituals? Millennials have the right idea - focus on more connection and less stuff. All it has to cost you is time. Take heart as you give a little that means a lot. And in these challenging times, that's a good lesson for all of us.

The pip and I like to play this game where we take turns drawing pictures and the other person has to guess what it is. Most of the time, the picture is that of a poorly drawn SpongeBob or his simple-minded counterpart. And we don't like to waste good paper on a fast scribble that's going to end up in the trash, so we take turns using her old Fisher-Price Doodle Pro Classic (yes, that's actually what it's called). We've been playing this game for a few years now, and it truly is one of my favorites; but this Doodle Pro thing is way too big and it's clogging up her already cluttered disaster of a room. What's a poor mother to do?

Here's what you do: you get on Amazon and order one of these! I just got Isla's in the mail and I cannot WAIT to give it to her on Christmas. It's super lightweight, flat as a pancake, and takes up virtually no space at all... Finally, a gift that keeps on giving! And get this: as I'm digging around online trying to find some cool pictures to download for this post, I realize that these guys offer an entire line of writing boards for grown ups, too! *Fist bump* *Chair shimmy*

So if you're looking for something to get your kids (or hubs, or wife, or grandma, or...) this year that won't break the bank, you might want to consider one of these!

The Original 8.5 LED Writer

Erase your image with the touch of a button!

A sealed 3V watch battery that never needs replacing.

The Boogie Board tablet is an ultra 1/8 inch thin and is easy to take with you in a purse, scheduler, briefcase or backpack.

The case and LCD are made from durable plastic materials. Safe for school use and all around the house, office and car.

The Boogie Board tablets are pressure-sensitive and the LCD writing surface creates lines of different thickness based on how hard you push, just like paper and pen!

What's in the Box: Boogie Board 8.5 Tablet, Stylus and user Guide.

Write or draw with the included stainless steel stylus or any other suitable instrument (Even your finger). You'll never need to search for a pen or pencil again!

Do you have family traditions during the Holidays? I remember when I was a child, every Christmas we'd get new pajamas. The night before Christmas we would wear our new PJs and I couldn't wait to be able to open the presents in the morning. I loved waking up to Christmas music and Christmas breakfast! I even looked forward to those traditions as a teen.

Later in the day on Christmas, lots of family members and friends from the neighborhood would come over to our house and we'd have a big feast. When I say write family, I mean FAMILY...it was always like a reunion. When I say write feast, I mean FEAST. At our functions everyone brought take home containers, lol. Every occasion; whether birthday or holiday, was like Thanksgiving. I miss those gatherings and haven't been able to experience it since my mother sold the house I grew up in! Not to mention, the fact that we moved to Florida and our family still lives in NY.

I decided to continue the pajama tradition with my kids and cannot wait to take Christmas 2013 photos!

I cannot be the only one...who has realized that the end of another week in December only means seven days closer to Christmas, and that thought is making me break out in a cold sweat. I don't know about the rest of you, but my normal chores don't cease in the name of Christmas, meaning I haven't wrangled up any extra time to spend getting this holiday thing under control.

This past week I managed to start multiple unfinished gift list, these "list" only have the names of the people I need to buy for, and sadly only one or two ideas for actual gifts on them. I sat down at the table with Sonny Boy, plying him with gingerbread men shaped marshmallows, and attempted to pick his toy experienced five year old brain to get gift ideas for his cousins. I was like a Pulitzer prize winning journalist committed to getting the real story of what kids want for Christmas, but once Sonny Boy realized this was a purely selfless operation (all this talk of toys was not for his gift list) he hit the bricks pretty quick, leaving me to come up with gift ideas all on my own.

Thanks to this preceding week's bizarrely cold weather and my desire to stay inside away from the chill, my boys were able to talk me into putting up the Christmas tree (that lives in a box tucked up in the rafters of our garage), and trimming that synthetic pine like there is no tomorrow. Although, this trimming was more like a secret mission, a mission that entailed me stealthily following around Sonny Boy and moving the clusters of four or five ornaments that he concentrated all on one fake branch to various fake branches of the Christmas tree.

After receiving the December breakdown from Sonny Boy's school last week, I noticed that there was no Christmas pageant extravaganza scheduled....to read the rest of my week in review, please visit me here: I Cannot Be The Only One...

As a mom, I constantly rely on my cell phone to stay in connected with my older children especially when they stay at home alone, with their friends, or while they are participating in their own activities alone. While out in about, I am always worried that my battery on my cell phone will die leaving my children without a way to be able to reach me in case of an emergency or to let me know that I need to pick them up. If I am at the store or running errands, often times I am unable to charge my phone or there isn't enough time to fully charge my phone in between errands using the car charger. What if you could instantly charge your cell phone while on the go with an accessory that can easily fit inside of your purse or pocket? Guess what! You can actually charge your phone with a device that is small enough to put in your pocket.

Take a look at this adorable booth from an exhibitor at the Chicago Gift Market:

I know that such a clever booth would have caught your attention as well. So I stopped and had a quick chat with the very charming creator of the cheeky brand, Troy Thomas. Fish Face is a clothing line designed for "life-loving men and women". Troy started the line because there was nothing else out there to celebrate the art of fishing!

Evdently, Fish Face, as the name implies, doesn't take itself too seriously. With witty captions, puns and illustrations all developed around the theme of fishing, these humorous t-shirts elevate fishing to a whole new level of cool.

Troy is a graduate of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work as an illustrator appeared in many notable publications though he is now using his keen eye to further develop the Fish Face brand which happens to mesh his love for illustration and design and his love for the outdoors, fishing in particular.

Fish Face offers t-shirts, long-sleeves, sweatshirts and caps, everything to dress your guy for his next fishing (or lounging) expedition. We think that these make great gifts for Father's Day or for any dude with a sense of humor and a penchant for fishing.

Shop all Fish Face goodies here. T-shirts go for $19.95 each.

 Le Nez du Vin – Make Scents of Wine tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2013-06-05:988554:BlogPost:1377481 2013-06-05T10:44:45.000Z Audreyvp http://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/audreyvanpetegem

By Anne-Marie Kovacs, Chief Wife

Wine aficionado, wine snob, wine geek or sommelier in training? We all know one. Or want to become one. Well, here are some great kits to up the ante by Le Nez du Vin by Wine Aromas.

Le Nez du Vin make the optimal oenophile training kits. Each kit – and there are 6 of them – contains petite vials, each filled with different aromas and notes imbued in wine.

"Le Nez du Vin Series is a discovery tool to educate and develop your sense of smell and enhance your enjoyment of wine".

The foundation principle of Le Nez du Vin kits is that smelling is essential to tasting: Train your sense of smell, develop your scent memory for the various notes, teach yourself to recognize and describe the aromas that compose wine. Also crucial to this principle, of course, is that this extra knowledge will help us heighten the pleasure of drinking wine. That makes it all sounds so hedonistic – in a good way – doesn't it?

More precisely, the kit helps to help to develop the sense of smell and to memorize the various notes from fruit aromas (lemon, melon, lychee, cherry…), to floral (rose, honey…), vegetable (clove, thyme…) and grilled aromas (chocolate, caramel, coffee…). You're not let to your own device. The kit also includes an instruction manual and aroma guides. The whole is beautiful packaged in a cloth-bound "book".

The Master Kit, which contains 54 wine aromas, is actually required course material at many oenology schools ($399). The Intermediate kit comes with 24 vials, with aromas of red and white wines ($229). A selection of 12 vial kits for each red and white wines are also available ($119). And, let's not forget the Wine Faults kit, which is for the critical critic. It contains vials with aromas of the 12 prevalent faults found in wine. How interesting. I guess that faults are as essential to recognize as the good scent notes in aiding in our appreciation of good wine.

Le Nez du Vin is "Education Tool it helps develop the sense of smell and creates a common language to describe, understand and better enjoy wine." And with such a beautiful presentation, we think it makes an ideal gift for the wine snob. Or geek.

P.S.: Coffee lovers. There is a kit for you too!

The next One Book One Saint Mary's selection will be unveiled at Reunion 2015.
Don't miss your chance to vote for this year's title.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,
Half of a Yellow Sun
Jhumpa Lahiri,
The Namesake
One of The New York Times's Ten Best Books of the Year; Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for Fiction; An NPR "Great Reads" Book, a Chicago Tribune Best Book, a Washington Post Notable Book, aSeattle Times Best Book, an Entertainment Weekly Top Fiction Book, a Newsday Top 10 Book, and a Goodreads Best of the Year pick.
Ifemelu and Obinze are young and in love when they depart military-ruled Nigeria for the West. Beautiful, self-assured Ifemelu heads for America, where despite her academic success, she is forced to grapple with what it means to be black for the first time. Quiet, thoughtful Obinze had hoped to join her, but with post-9/11 America closed to him, he instead plunges into a dangerous, undocumented life in London. Fifteen years later, they reunite in a newly democratic Nigeria, and reignite their passion—for each other and for their homeland.
Half of the Yellow Sun
With effortless grace, celebrated author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie illuminates a seminal moment in modern African history: Biafra's impassioned struggle to establish an independent republic in southeastern Nigeria during the late 1960s. We experience this tumultuous decade alongside five unforgettable characters: Ugwu, a thirteen-year-old houseboy who works for Odenigbo, a university professor full of revolutionary zeal; Olanna, the professor's beautiful young mistress who has abandoned her life in Lagos for a dusty town and her lover's charm; and Richard, a shy young Englishman infatuated with Olanna's willful twin sister Kainene. Half of a Yellow Sun is a tremendously evocative novel of the promise, hope, and disappointment of the Biafran war.
The Namesake
In The Namesake, Lahiri enriches the themes that made her collection an international bestseller: the immigrant experience, the clash of cultures, the conflicts of assimilation, and, most poignantly, the tangled ties between generations. Here again Lahiri displays her deft touch for the perfect detail -- the fleeting moment, the turn of phrase -- that opens whole worlds of emotion.
The Namesake takes the Ganguli family from their tradition-bound life in Calcutta through their fraught transformation into Americans. On the heels of their arranged wedding, Ashoke and Ashima Ganguli settle together in Cambridge, Massachusetts. An engineer by training, Ashoke adapts far less warily than his wife, who resists all things American and pines for her family. When their son is born, the task of naming him betrays the vexed results of bringing old ways to the new world. Named for a Russian writer by his Indian parents in memory of a catastrophe years before, Gogol Ganguli knows only that he suffers the burden of his heritage as well as his odd, antic name.
Lahiri brings great empathy to Gogol as he stumbles along the first-generation path, strewn with conflicting loyalties, comic detours, and wrenching love affairs. With penetrating insight, she reveals not only the defining power of the names and expectations bestowed upon us by our parents, but also the means by which we slowly, sometimes painfully, come to define ourselves. The New York Times has praised Lahiri as "a writer of uncommon elegance and poise." The Namesake is a fine-tuned, intimate, and deeply felt novel of identity.

One Tough Storage Box
By Mary W
from Gainesville, FL, United States
Comments about BJs Wholesale Club Lifetime Deck Box:
I have owned the Lifetime 130 gallon storage box for several years. If you saw it today, you would think it is brand new. This product can take a beating in the heat or cold and perform perfectly every time. My favorite part is the gas assist pistons that hold up the lid and keep it from falling down on my head or hands. A close second favorite feature is a place to lock the lid. I store pesticides, fertilizers and garden tools in this storage box and use a padlock for extra safety and peace of mind. Since the lid can handle up to 900 pounds of weight on it, I don't have to worry if I stand, sit or keep things on the top. Strong, safe, versatile and good looking - definitely worth the price!

I purchased this last season for my garden supplies. It lasted through fall, spring and 2 summers so far. With extreme heat, rain, snow and ice. All the contents stay dry and bugs stay out. Such a great box for my patio and deck!

Box is large and sturdy. Issue I had was putting cover together. holes for stabilizer bar and hinges did not line up correctly so I had to modify pieces to get them too. so lid does not close correctly.

By BigSmoke
from Long Island
This is a great product ! I just got two more this year, after having 2 others for over 5 years, and you can barely tell the new from the old. My old two have spent over five years on the northeast water front. Perfect dock box.
Perfect for our patio
By Jim
from Mechanicsburg, PA
This looks great on our patio and holds a lot of pool supplies. It did not leak after a heavy downpour, so everything inside remained dry. Attaching the lid and hinges to the box may require two people.
Used to be top quality - Not Anymore
By Concerned Consumer
from Auburn, AL
I bought several of these boxes from Lowes a couple of years ago, and was quite impressed with the construction. Because of that positive experience, I was a repeat customer and bought a 3rd Lifetime storage box yesterday. This is same model and supposed to be the same box as before BUT IT WAS NOT! I was very disappointed that Lifetime has decided to greatly reduce the quality of the construction. I know because I can set my new one right up to my older ones and compare.. Here is the difference I saw: 1. All the plastic walls are much thinner. This is very noticeable where the handles are on either side of the box.. With my older models, when you pick the box up with some weight in it, the handles feel solid.. With the new box, the handles crumple under a small amount of weight. 2. Lifetime no longer includes the metal brackets that connect to the inside walls adding strentgh.. This was an obvious cost cutting measure as well.. So with this being said, I will no longer be a repeat customer of Lifetime products.
Storage box (130 gallon) model 60040
By runner 800
from Harrisburg, PA, United States
Bought on April 18, 2015 I purchased this for the storage capacity for my front porch. However, the time to put it together was over several hours. Would like to point out the molded bubble to go into the fitted slots on the bottom floor plate needs to be better trimmed to fit into the slots. The holes for the screws should have a starter hole or an inverted dimple on the other side for the screws to go in properly.

Even with the delay, Aetna will maintain its current momentum in its ICD-10 work, according to Stacie Watson, who heads the insurer's ICD-10 program management office. That work includes remediation of impacted systems and vendor tools, as well as affected business processes and policies.
Aetna "will be fully ready to process ICD-10 claims by Oct. 1, 2014, with a strong commitment to begin testing in 2013 with those entities that are also ready," Watson said in an e-mail exchange with HealthLeadersMedia.
Desrochers says the ICD-10 delay provides health insurers with the opportunity to take transformational steps to get ready for the new business models, which will include value-based purchasing and accountable care organizations.
ICD-10 will provide more precision and information related to diagnoses and procedures that will help providers and insurers "make better determinations around what works and what doesn't," he says.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
