3rd Generation Blueberry Streusel Cake
Recipe by SusieQusie
My interpretation of Lemon Blueberry Streusel Cake ( # 95261) which was a variation of Raspberry Rhapsody Chocolate Streusel Cake ( #94465). The resulting texture is dense; somewhere between a pound cake and a muffin; defintely not a light airy cake. The crunchy streusel topping really makes the cake. We ate it for dessert and breakfast. The combinations of cake mix, pudding mix, yogurt flavor & fruit can be altered per your taste.
Top Review by justcallmetoni
My results were a little odd and I'm not sure if this was the desired effect or a deffect in my preparation. The cake sid not rise very much and the results were very dense. With the addition of the cheesecake pudding it made you feel like you were eating a hybrid between a cake and a cheesecake. That said, EVERYONE loved it and it was gone lickity split. For the streusal, I used 1/3 cup of brown sugar Splenda and 1/3 cup white sugar.

text: Johannesburg - New Bidvest Wits signing Matthew Pattison says salaries in the Premier Soccer League are often more impressive than those found in Europe. The 25-year-old midfielder put pen to a deal with the Students last month following a frustrating season on the sidelines with now relegated Santos. Pattison has also run out for the likes of Newcastle and Norwich during his career, but says if players are not in the English Premier League they will not be earning anything near to what players in South Africa make. "People don't believe me but it is (now) better to come to SA financially," he told Business Day. "That is the simple truth of it. To be honest, the UK is not as attractive as some people think. "If you are not going to be playing in the English Premier League you will struggle big time. (English) clubs have overcompensated and they are struggling to keep up. "Let me tell you now, SA is up there and really challenging a lot of European leagues when it comes to finances. SA can compete (with the best) which is really good for our football and the country."

The Bridge Years of Ben Cherington and the Red Sox
Leave it to those Red Sox to find a bridge to sell once again this year in Boston. They went all the way to Nashville before Christmas to find a bridge to replace the Zakim Bridge in fan hearts.
Only Mae West could actually sell the Brooklyn Bridge, though Bugs Bunny tried. Larry Lucchino has bought the bridge year to nowhere again this season and will pass on the costs to the fans.
He thinks fans will believe he is giving them the Golden Gate.
Last year's bridge seemed to go down like the Bridge of San Luis Rey with a bunch of players falling all the way to Los Angeles.
This year's bridge could be the Bridge over the River Kwai, which did not collapse, but was blown up in the ultimate gesture of irony. Latest Sox millionaire Shane Victorino will tell you that the River Kwai is not on Oahu.
Having just signed Koji Uehara as a spot reliever, the Red Sox bridge begins to seem like the Bridge of Toko-Ri, but that was in Korea, not Japan. That one was bombed.
The Red Sox will make this year the Bridge of Madison County if only Scott Boras and Jacoby Ellsbury cross it.
The other Boston bridge that Clint Eastwood made a movie about is the Mystic-Tobin Bridge, which is a toll bridge, charging the customers. It's sort of like buying a brick for Fenway Park.
This year's even money ball is on the Owl Creek Bridge, courtesy of Ambrose Bierce.
If Ben Cherington is hanging around this bridge, he will either find the rope around his neck will break, sending him on a spiritual journey—or he will hang in effigy forever off the trestle leading to the Monster Seats.
For our money, this bridge year for the Sox offers a no trump guarantee.

Sampdoria boss has praise for opponents
Sampdoria boss Delio Rossi has paid tribute to his club's opponents ahead of Sunday's match with Parma.
The Ducali will travel to Genoa to take on the Blucerchiati at the Marassi, and the 52 year-old is anticipating a hard-fought encounter with Roberto Donadoni's side.
"Parma have been playing well this season," Rossi said in a press conference. "They have built a really interesting squad and a I expect them to come here and play well.
"But we must continue with the same attitude that we've shown so far and always remember the values and strengths of the opponent."
The veteran tactician will be back on the touchline for the game after serving a two match ban for aiming a vulgar gesture towards Roma's Nicolas Burdisso in week 24.

I recently hooked up my stereo in my new home & now want to add more speakers. I have a Yamaha RX-V650(several years old) & a center, R, L, Surrounds, & sub hooked up. I want to add a couple more speakers in the kitchen & someday outdoors. I would like to be able to turn them on only when cooking or w/ guests. What is the best way to do this? Zone 2, Speaker B, another receiver(I have a HTIB), amp, preamp? I am somewhat new to all this. I tried hooking to Zone 2, but didn't work. Maybe I did it wrong. Any advice will help. Thanks.
I quickly read the owners manual for your receiver page 63, you need too pull up the "set menu" on the front display and turn "zone 2" on. This will allow the internal amplifier to power the speakers you have plugged in to zone 2 on the back of the unit.
That is what I thought, but I tried it & it didn't work. I'll try it again. It's in a closet & hard to get to. I'll take it out & try it again. Thanks
I tried again last night on the zone 2 & nothing. Anyone know a trick to this? I read somewhere that I need to be on 5.1, not 6.1 or 7.1. I changed the settings to what I thought was surround 5.1, but still noihing. If I want to hook up 4 more speakers, can I use an external amp?
Keep in mind that only analog connected sources will pass to Zone 2 so add a RCA (red/white) cable in addition to HDMI for the main zone and you should be good to go.

2008 10Best Contest Winners
Shoeless Joe, meet Shirtless Stan.
Soon after purchasing my Boxster S, I had an opportunity to stay overnight at a hotel in Washington, D.C. When I pulled up in front of the valet-parking desk, an attendant came out to help me with my luggage. I popped both trunks and went to the back of the car to remove a suitcase and handed it to the valet. I then went to the front of the car and pulled out a duffel bag. The valet stared in amazement and asked me where the engine was.
In mock disbelief, I reopened both trunks and began frantically searching for my missing engine with the valet in tow. The other valets stood by the desk laughing and enjoying the show.

have been driving his Formula V a little too much
by the seat of his pants. He credits Al Bizer with
the photo, taken at Waterford Hills in Michigan.
Approximately 10 years ago, long before cell phones were as omnipresent as they are now, I was driving on a straight stretch of a busy but still semirural road. Suddenly, in front of me with no warning or turn signal, a car began to turn left across the path of my Saturn to access a rural driveway. I barely managed to swerve around the car's front bumper, and as my car began to pass, out of the corner of my field of vision, I plainly saw a woman driver drop a cell phone from her ear and grab the steering wheel with both hands, an expression of shock across her face. My car's wheels skidded on the roadside gravel; I overcompensated, and by the time my car stopped, it was pointed in the other direction on the opposite shoulder of the road. As I hyperventilated and waited for my pulse to return to any semblance of normalcy, I took mental inventory of whether I had hit anything, whether anyone else had been coming and had been involved, etc. The woman in question shortly came running toward my car, frantically shouting, "Are you all right?" She was, however, still clutching that damned cell phone in her hand. I heaved an exasperated sigh, stepped out of the car, and without saying a word, relieved her of the phone, disconnected the battery from the back, threw the battery deep into some brush on one side of the road, threw the phone far into tall grass on the other side of the road, got back into my car, slammed the door, did a U-turn around the shocked dimwit, and drove off.

Tesco is to scrap cardboard egg boxes in favour of plastic ones in a bid to prevent more than a million eggs a year being wasted.
The supermarket claims that eggs break while in transit and leak through the pulp cartons, damaging other boxes while in transit.
Instead, free range eggs in recyclable plastic boxes made from old drinks bottles.
It comes after the new packages, which hold a dozen eggs, have been tested over the past eight weeks in nearly 200 outlets.
The supermarket said it plans to roll out the new packaging by the end of the year.
Tesco sells around 1.3 billion eggs a year while the British Egg Industry Councils claims free range egg sales are increasing at nearly double the rate of other varieties.
Tesco spokesman Lee Gray said: "We know that plastic packs reduce food waste - now we have a pack that will reduce food waste and offer customers a more environmentally friendly packaging solution.
"If used across all our free-range egg range, then it will sell more than one million eggs a year."Reuse content

Syria forces shell Homs, Saudis push U.N. resolution
By Khaled Yacoub Oweis and Angus MacSwan
AMMAN/BEIRUT (Reuters) - Syrian forces unleashed new tank and rocket bombardments on opposition neighborhoods of Homs on Saturday while diplomats sought U.N. backing for an Arab plan to end 11 months of bloodshed in Syria.
Activists said seven people were killed in the latest attacks in a week-long government siege of Homs, a battered city at the heart of the uprising to oust President Bashar al-Assad.
Mohammed Hassan, one opposition campaigner in Homs, told Reuters by satellite telephone that a 55-year-old woman was among those killed by shellfire on the Bab Amro district.
The bloodshed followed a day of violence across Syria on Friday, when bombings targeting security bases killed at least 28 people in Aleppo and rebel fighters battled troops in a Damascus suburb after dark.
Assad has ignored repeated international appeals, the latest from the European Union, to halt his crackdown.
"I am appalled by the reports of the brutal attacks by the Syrian armed forces in Homs. I condemn in the strongest terms these acts perpetrated by the Syrian regime against its own civilian," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said.
However, the world is deeply divided over how to end the Syria conflict. On Sunday Russia and China vetoed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution sponsored by Western and Arab states that backed an Arab League call for Assad to step down.

Although the price for the Nintendo Wii hasn't been set, EB Games Australia has listed an estimate for the console at $598 in Australian dollars. Converted to American dollars, that's roughly $633.00, which is substantially more than the most expensive models of the PS3 and Xbox 360. By console, that's $200 more than a top-of-the-line Xbox 360 Kinect bundle, $200 more than a PS3 Move kit, and roughly $450 more than a new Nintendo Wii.
Take that with a grain of salt, though -- early retail estimates don't always tell the whole story, and to us, that sounds exceptionally pricey.

…every little thing that gets accomplished feels like a major victory.
I spent this afternoon putting together the handout packets that I'm going to distribute to my colloquium attendees. I photocopied a bunch of things that *I* think are interesting (I'm assuming a lot here, I know). To get us started, I have a couple of quotes about the idea of "reading" visual media and a list of "essential questions" (that's a teacher-term that really just means the kinds of things we want kids to know when we're done teaching them).
Once we chit-chat a bit about the idea of movies as texts and what makes good use of film in an English class (I highly suspect that it's NOT showing a movie after reading the book that movie is based on, but that's just me), I'll show a film clip from Nuremberg and ask my participants to think about ways in which we might ask students to enter into that scene – how do we teach students to give language to dramatic silence? What's going on when there are meaningful glances or changes in a character's facial expression? We know something's happening – but what? I've also included in the packet an excerpt of Jackson's opening statement to the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal as a means of connecting the visual to the written (see here for the text and here for an entry I wrote about it earlier).
Once that's done, I'm going to move on to a scene from Glory – the one in which Denzel Washington's character is flogged for desertion. It's a powerful scene absolutely chock full of implications about flogging and what it means to the black regiment, many of whom are former – or runaway – slaves. We watch as Broderick's character struggles with what he's professionally required to do, even though he's well aware of those implications and knows in his heart that it's a vile and particularly harsh punishment for this particular group. We watch Washington's character go from defiance to endurance to stoic desperation, his eyes never breaking with Broderick's despite the tears that fall silently down his cheeks. When we're finished watching the scene, I'm going to ask the participants to write for a bit about this piece. I'll offer any number of writing opportunities; they can write a personal reaction, they can write the scene as a moment in fiction, they can write an interior monologue for either of the characters, they can write a conversation between them. The point is to get them to experience the act of transforming a visual experience into written language and ask them to consider other ways in which we might invite students to do the same.
When that's done (we're running out of time here!) I'll show the scene from Schindler's List where Schindler goes to Auschwitz to rescue his women workers. As the guards try to cull out the children, Schindler grabs one of them by the wrist and proceeds to explain to the guard that the children are skilled munitions workers. Who else, he asks angrily as the child wimpers in fear, would be able to polish the inside of shell casings?
The children are returned to the group of women heading out of the camp (the only shipment of people to ever LEAVE Auschwitz, by the way) and the camera lingers for a moment on Liam Nieson's Schindler, who looks as though he might pass out at any moment. I've included that scene from Keneally's book in the packet, and plan to try to spark a discussion about how the different presentations convey the dramatic tension of that scene.
After that (if we haven't run out of time), I'll show the panel the Bak art and ask essentially the same questions I asked the class when we did this lesson. I have a VERY interesting conversation I'm hoping to spark with an image of the front gate of Auschwitz, which is a combination of image AND word (and some of the most crushing irony ever).
I really think it's going to be a great experience. I'm VERY excited about the topic; I think it's important and relavant and I really believe that my confidence in teaching film in the context of close critical "reading" makes me a more effective teacher – and my students more well-rounded learners and thinkers.
And my enthusiasm doesn't get 'em, I'm also planning to bring chocolate.

In Cruising Cuisine, Kay Pastorius has built a truly usable galley guide for both the skilled and the unskilled, like me, who need all the help they can get. This book offers tips on provisioning, stowage, keeping fruits and veggies fresh for extended periods of time, and descriptions of fresh produce the reader is likely to find while cruising foreign ports. She guides us through items that we use everyday and find in the USbut are not likely to find in third-world countries. Ever wonder if a wok or a bamboo steamer would come in handy on the boat? These are among her favorite galley equipment.
At the beginning of each chapter the reader will find tips and suggestions for substitute ingredients. Dont think scrambled eggs for breakfast are out of the question simply because the fresh egg supply has been depletedstock up with powdered egg mix.
My favorite is the no-knead yeast bread recipe. For those of us who dont get our jollies from kneading yeast bread and tossing flour all over the galley, this recipe is for us. Some recipes have ingredients that a lot of sailors arent likely to have on hand, like capers or Granny Smith apples. Theyre not part of my standard provisions and Im not sure where Id find them other than the US. My suggestion is to take a look through the book when provisioning and if theres a recipe youre interested in, buy the ingredients when theyre available.
This is more than a cookbook. From appetizers to desserts, its an excellent guide and source of information for the experienced and inexperienced galley maid looking for tips to provide interesting and varied menus, whether its for a coastal cruise or an offshore passage. For the galley guy, I dont know how you could get by without this book.

P2601 Coolant Pump A Control Circuit Performance
OBD-II Trouble Code Technical Description
Randy Worner
ASE Certified Master Technician
Coolant Pump "A" Control Circuit Range Performance
What does that mean?
This generic powertrain/engine diagnostic trouble code typically applies to all OBDII equipped engines with electric coolant pumps, but shows up more often in certain hybrids vehicles by Ford, Honda, Nissan and Toyota.
The Coolant Pump A (CP-A) is can usually be found mounted to the front of the engine, on top of the engine, inside the wheel wells or against the bulkhead. The CP-A is operated by an electrical signal from the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).
The PCM receives inputs to determine when and how long it needs to operate the CP-A. These inputs are voltage signals received from coolant temp, intake air temp, engine rpm and air conditioning system pressure sensors. Once the PCM has received these inputs it can modify the signal to the CP-A.
P2601 is typically set because of electrical (CP-A circuit) issues but can be caused by mechanical issues, such as a mechanically stuck impeller on the electrically driven coolant pump. Both electrical and mechanical issues cannot be overlooked in the troubleshooting stage, especially when dealing with an intermittent problem.
Troubleshooting steps may vary depending upon manufacturer, type of CP-A and wire colors.
Related coolant pump "A" circuit trouble codes:
- P2600 Coolant Pump "A" Control Circuit Open
- P2602 Coolant Pump "A" Control Circuit Low
- P2603 Coolant Pump "A" Control Circuit High
Symptoms & Severity
Severity is usually severe due to its impact on the cooling system. Because this can be either an electrical or mechanical failure, the PCM cannot fully compensate for it. Partial compensation usually means that the cooling fans operate all the time (100 % duty cycle).
Symptoms of a P2601 code may include:
- Malfunction Indicator Light On
- Overheating
- A/C system not functioning properly
Potential causes for this code to set are:
- Open in the circuit to the Coolant Pump - likely
- Failed Coolant Pump – inoperative (mechanically or electrically) - likely
- Failed PCM - unlikely
Diagnostic and Repair Procedures
A good starting point is always to check for technical service bulletins (TSB) for your particular vehicle. Your issue may be a known issue with a known fix put out by the manufacturer and can save you time and money during diagnosis.
Next, locate the Coolant Pump B (CP-A) on your particular vehicle. This pump is usually found mounted to the front of the engine, on top of the engine, inside the wheel wells or against the bulkhead. Once located, visually inspect the connector and wiring. Look for scraping, rubbing, bare wires, burn spots or melted plastic. Pull the connector apart and carefully inspect the terminals (the metal parts) inside the connector. See if they look burned or have a green tint indicating corrosion. Use electrical contact cleaner and a plastic bristle brush if cleaning of the terminals is needed. Let dry and apply electrical grease where the terminals contact.
If you have a scan tool, clear the diagnostic trouble codes from memory, and see if P2601 code returns. If it does not, then the connections were most likely your problem.
For this particular code, this is the most common area of concern, as are the relays / connections to the relays, with a pump failure second.
If the code does return, we will need to test the pump and the associated circuits. Typically, there are 2 wires at each coolant pump. First, disconnect the harness going to the coolant pump. With a Digital Volt Ohm Meter (DVOM), connect one lead of the meter to one terminal of the pump. Connect the remaining meter lead to the other pump terminal. It should not be open or shorted. Verify the resistance specifications for your particular vehicle. If the pump motor is either open or shorted (infinite resistance or no resistance/0 ohms), replace the coolant pump.
If that test passes, with a DVOM, check to make sure you have 12V to the coolant pump power supply circuit (Red lead to the pump power supply circuit, black lead to a good ground). With a scan tool that can activate the coolant pump, turn on the coolant pump. If there is no 12 volts to the pump, repair the wiring from the PCM or relay to the pump, or possibly a bad PCM.
If that's OK, check to make sure you have a good ground at the coolant pump. Connect a test light to 12V battery positive (red terminal) and touch the other end of the test light to the ground circuit going to the Coolant pump circuit ground. Using the scan tool to actuate the coolant pump, see if the test light comes on each time the scan tool actuates the pump. If the test light does not light up, this would indicate the problem circuit. If it does light up, wiggle the wiring harness going to the pump to see if the test light flickers, indicating an intermittent connection.
If all prior tests have passed and you continue to get a P2601, this would most likely indicate a failed coolant pump, although a failed PCM could not be ruled out until the coolant pump had been replaced. If unsure, seek assistance from a trained automotive diagnostician. PCMs must be programmed, or calibrated to the vehicle in order to be installed correctly.
Similar other coolant pump codes include P261A, P261B, P261C, and P261D.

Eye protection is a full-time job, particularly in Southern California, where the outdoor lifestyle exposes eyes to the dangers of ultraviolet light. The sun's UV rays can damage the conjunctiva, the clear membrane around the white of the eye. Over time, this can cause an unsightly triangle-shaped growth, called a pingueculum.
The noncancerous, slow-growing lesion usually appears at 3 or 9 o'clock on the white of the eye. With time, a pingueculum can become more yellow or red. If it extends over the cornea (the eye's front window) it is called a pterygium and is often more noticeable.
A pterygium is sometimes called "surfer's eye," though it can occur in anyone who spends time in the sun, including landscapers, boaters, house painters, construction workers and coaches. Severity varies. Most growths pose only an appearance problem. Rarely, a pterygium can grow large enough to block the line of vision.
In lower latitudes, like San Diego, the condition occurs in up to 15 percent of the population. Symptoms include redness, itching, the sensation of having a foreign object in the eye and blurred vision.
The best treatment for surfer's eye is prevention with sunglasses that block 100 percent of UVA and UVB rays. A wide-brimmed hat can also help. UV light reflecting off water or snow is particularly dangerous. Also remember that clouds do not filter out UV rays. Overcast days can be just as dangerous as sunny ones.
Eye whiteners, such as Visine or Murine, are not a solution. They constrict blood vessels, making the eye appear whiter, but providing no therapeutic benefit. In fact, regular use of these products can lead to an even worse looking eye due to a phenomenon called rebound redness. Artificial tear drops are a better choice. They won't whiten the eye, but they can reduce irritation and are quite safe.
People with surfer's eye, should aggressively screen out UV rays to keep the lesion from growing. If there is severe irritation or redness, or a risk of decreased vision, the growth can be removed surgically.
Operations that simply remove the growth tend to have a recurrence rate of up to 40 percent. Recurrence is much lower when surgeons replace the tissue they remove with a graft, which can be normal conjunctiva from another part of the eye or processed tissue taken from human placenta, called an amniotic membrane graft. Either way, the graft is secured with sutures or surgical glue.
While pterygium surgery is safe and effective, any operation has risk, so the best treatment is prevention with UV-blocking glasses or goggles. Surfers often say it is impractical to wear UV protection in the water, but cool-looking waterproof eyewear is available in nonprescription and prescription forms. Those who decline to wear UV protection in the water should at least protect their eyes before and after water activities.
Anyone who suspects they have surfer's eye should contact an ophthalmologist (medical eye doctor). Early consultation can clarify treatment options and help keep the condition from worsening.

Compare Reviews for Pet Insurance
When it comes to pet insurance, many pet owners aren't sure if they really need it. We created this simple quiz to help consumers learn if pet insurance could be right for them.
Pet insurance helps pet owners pay the cost of medical expenses if the pet becomes ill or has an accident. Some pet insurance plans cover routine checkups and wellness procedures, such as annual exams, spaying, neutering, etc. Veterinary bills can be very high and pet insurance can help to offset the cost. However, in some cases pet insurance can cost more than it pays out so it's important to consider your own unique situation and various factors before deciding whether or not to purchase pet insurance.

What features matter most?
What's covered?
The most important thing to understand about pet insurance is what is covered and what is not. Some policyholders think that pet insurance automatically covers all medical expenses but every policy has different limits and exclusions.
- Read the plan: Before purchasing pet insurance, read the plan carefully so you have an understanding of what illnesses, medical visits, medication, etc. are covered and what are not. For example, surgery could be covered, but spaying/neutering might not. Emergency visits because of an accidental injury may be covered, but routine wellness visits may not. And in many cases, cosmetic procedures, boarding and grooming, and supplements will not be covered.
- Limits and deductibles: All insurance policies stipulate limits of their coverage. Typically, pet insurance will have limits per accident or illness, as well as a limit for the policy term. Out-of-pocket deductibles can be based on both a per-inside and per-policy term basis. Find out what the limits of coverage are, and if they could cover a reasonable portion of expensive procedures.
- Extra costs: Pets with existing conditions or advanced age may be refused coverage or might require higher premiums to cover their medical insurance. Be sure to read carefully to determine if your pet will incur any extra costs.
Can coverage be denied?
If you have pet insurance, you might assume that it will cover all medical issues and expenses, but many times coverage can be denied.
- Negligence: Some insurance policies won't cover expenses if it has been deemed that the owner was at fault.
- Accidental: Accidents happen, but if you haven't purchased comprehensive coverage or another form of accident insurance, you might end up paying out of pocket.
- Age range: Most pet insurance policies have a low end and a high end to sign up for a new policy. Make sure the plan covers the current age of your pet.
Healthcare providers
Insurance companies may work with and cover different medical providers, which takes the pressure off you to find one. The disadvantage of this is that some medical providers won't be as good as the ones you might want to visit and you won't be reimbursed for using vets that the policy doesn't cover.
- Do the service providers have good reviews?: Check out the fine print to find out if service providers are prescribed by the insurance network, and if so, do a little investigative research to find out how reputable they are.
- Can you use providers out of network?: Such policies may cover both in and out-of-network providers, but the latter can sometimes cost more. Find out which vets your policy allows and if the coverage is the same for out-of-network vets.
The cost of pet insurance varies according to your location, what type of pet you have, your pet's age and what type of coverage you choose. Similar to human health insurance, pet insurance also has premiums, deductibles, co-pays and maximum payouts.
- Premium: The premium is the amount you pay monthly, quarterly or annually for your insurance policy.
- Deductible: The deductible is the amount of the vet bills you have to reach before the insurance company starts to pay. Higher deductibles usually mean a lower premium, but more of your money is invested over the initial medical expenses.
- Co-pay: Most insurance policies will cover only a portion of medical expenses even after you've met your deductible and expect you to cover a portion. For example, your policy might stipulate that you pay 20 percent and the insurance company pays 80 percent. Higher co-pays will lower your premium as well but will increase your out-of-pocket payments for each expense. When determining reimbursement, also keep in mind that some pet insurance policies pay out as a percentage of the invoice while others pay out on certain amounts for certain conditions or operations, no matter what the bill was.
- Maximum payout: Most insurance policies will determine a maximum amount of money they will give you, whether it is a certain amount each year, per event or during the lifetime of your policy. Once it is reached, you will not receive any more money.
Health expenses
In deciding whether or not to purchase insurance, try to estimate what your average veterinary health expenses are and will be in the future.
- Current pet health: How old are your pets? Are they in fairly good shape, or do they require medication or have a chronic illness?
- Environment: Do you live in a safe, quiet environment, or is the pet exposed to things like other pets, cars on the road, ticks, etc. — anything that could cause accidents or health problems requiring medical attention?
- Breed: Certain breeds or animals are at higher risk for health issues than others (and some may even be excluded from certain insurance policies).
Insurance company reputation
Pet insurance providers should have a good reputation for helpful customer service, reliable coverage and good value.
- Coverage options: Insurance companies should offer different plans and extensive coverage options for different conditions.
- Reviews and complaints: Find out as much as possible about what kind of experience other customers have had with the insurance company and be aware of any complaints people have made about them.
- Filing a claim: Find out what the process is to file a claim. Is it simple and hassle-free, or will you be on the phone with customer service for hours at a time? Does the insurance company typically fight claims or do they reimburse expenses? If so, how long does it typically take for the company to reimburse you? Some insurance plans will pay the vet directly, so that you don't have to pay out of pocket initially.
What are different types of pet insurance coverage?
Basic coverage
This traditional form of pet insurance coverage mirrors your typical human health insurance plan. It generally covers anything accidental, such as unforeseen injuries or illnesses—even poisonings. Basic coverages typically include deductibles and caps on total payouts per policy term.
Comprehensive coverage
While covering most everything that a traditional basic plan would cover, comprehensive takes pet insurance one step further by including preventive care (such as vet visits, X-rays and vaccinations) and prescription medicines.
Wellness plans
Want coverage to help finance for routine care? Then a pet wellness plan is for you, to help pay for annual exams, teeth cleanings, vaccinations and other similar preventative treatments.
Vet packages and network plans
Additional pet insurance-like pet products are often sponsored by veterinarians themselves or in conjunction with pet stores. For instance, certain vets will offer their customers essentially what are package deals, which provide discounts on care and checkups. Or vets and pet stores may team up to offer plans that give discounts on surgeries and care, as well as on pet food and other supplies.
Other coverage
For pets that are exotic or worth a lot to their owners, life and theft insurance can be bought as a separate plan. Pet owners can also consider liability coverage to protect them should their pet bite or harm another person. Typically, homeowners or renter's insurance provides enough protection, but for certain more aggressive breeds, additional insurance may be needed.
Who's it for?
First-time pet owners
People getting pets for the first time will want the security of pet insurance, especially if the pet is young, like a puppy. Puppies are more likely to get sick and having pet insurance can help a new owner get through a stressful time without having to also worry too much about expenses.
Pet owners with older pets
Owners with aging pets need insurance to cover any diseases that may arise and to continue any treatments for existing conditions.
Owners with multiple pets
People with more than one pet can potentially save a lot of money with pet insurance. Paying for services individually is sure to add up over time, and having insurance will keep out-of-pocket expenses low.
Owners of young pets
Owners with young pets will find that trips to the vet during the first year is routine. From vaccinations to checkups, pet health insurance can help off set the cost of those visits. Insuring younger pets is usually more cost-effective and can save the owner money over the pet's lifetime.

Pet Insurance Quiz
Do you need pet insurance?
We're gathering data, and we need your help.
Take this short survey to contribute to our research.
The results are in!
You love your animals more than some of the humans in your life, and would do anything to keep them healthy and happy. You will probably benefit from pet insurance – especially if you don't have a savings account set up to cover emergency medical costs. If your furry friend has a preexisting condition or is a breed that typically needs more veterinary care than others, you should consider which plans cover genetic diseases and pay attention to coverage limits. Remember to read each policy thoroughly and consult your veterinarian before committing to a certain plan.
Your pet may be the perfect picture of health, but even routine visits can add up, especially if you have multiple animals, so you should look into plans that cover vaccinations, cleanings, etc. And although they are healthy now, accidents happen, and if the thought of losing your furry companion brings tears to your eyes, pet insurance might be a good idea. Remember to read each policy thoroughly and consult your veterinarian before committing to a certain plan.
If you're a saver or own a pet that is less prone to developing genetic or chronic diseases, you might be okay without purchasing pet insurance. Have an exotic pet? Very few insurance companies will cover them, but there are some options available so be sure to do your research. Remember to read each policy thoroughly and consult your veterinarian before committing to a certain plan.
Your love your animals but they have good health and ultimately, the cost probably outweighs the potential benefit. Regardless, things happen. You might consider setting up a special savings account to cover emergency medical costs if you don't always have extra money on hand. Remember to read each policy thoroughly and consult your veterinarian before committing to a certain plan.

Million Dollar Reload - A sinner´s saint
Produced by Million Dollar Reload
Tracks : 1.Fight the system 2.Bullets in the sky 3.Blow me away 4.Can´t tie me down 5.Broken 6.I am the rapture 7.Wicked 8.Smoke N Mirrors 9.Headrush 10.Pretty people 11.It ain´t over
3 out of 5
Million Dollar Reload is a fine hard rock band from Northern Ireland, formed in 2005 and released their debut album "Anthems of a degeneration" in 2008. This year, their follow up "A sinner´s saint" is unleashed and it´s a solid party time rocknroll album influenced by AC DC, Aerosmith and Guns N Roses. This band live by the motto "There are only two kinds of music, ROCK and ROLL!".
The first single "Bullets in the sky" is typical for the whole album and you can watch the video on youtube, my next contender for the next single is the more melodic "Broken" which is really nice. The band sounds like Buckcherry meets Hardcore Superstar but with more AOR-ish choruses, my favorite tracks are "Blow me away", "I am the rapture" and "Smoke N Mirrors". I bet they´re a great live band.

It looks like you changed your stats around and traces of of the original line up remained after you set your ability points. Namely I think you had a dex of 14 at some point and changed it to 10 but left the +2 mod here and there around the sheet. Also some parts look like they haven't been updated for level two. So...
Hit points: you have 15 listed. I think you have a max of 14.
5 / level = 10 + 1 Con mod / level = 12 + 1 / favored class level = 14.
Initiative: listed as +2 but I can't find anything that gives you a bonus. I think +0 is correct unless I overlooked something.
BAB: should be +1 at level 2. CMB should be -1, CMD 9
Skills: you should have 7 points per level minimum unless you traded in your human skill point per level for some other race trait. So I think you have two more ranks to spend.
Class Features: what is your second Revelation? At level 2 you get a second one, but I can only find one on your sheet.
What is Legalistic? You have it listed with channel as if it were a class feature, but I can't figure out what it is supposed to be.
Spells: your sheet seems to show your spells as if they are prepared in slots, but oracles are spontaneous casters. That may just be an issue of formatting on the sheet but I just wanted to be sure. Also with your CHA score you get an extra two 1st level spell slots per day. So you can cast 6 / day rather than 4.
You do have too many 0 level spells though. At second level you will know 5. You have 7 at the moment.
Equipment: your sheet doesn't show any of your equipment except armor, shield, and a wand. I would want to see a list of the equipment in any case, but here particularly because you have dumped your strength. Your armor and shield alone leave you one pound shy of heavy encumbrance. If you have a heavy load your movement will drop from 20 to 15, your ACP becomes -10 instead of -4, and your Run speed tops out at x3.
How much experience does this character have? The sheet says 0 but is for a level 2 character.
How much Fame and Prestige?
|Mordecai Shrykeson.
The sheet was originally for a level 1 Synthesist but that recently got the banhammer so I rebuilt it as an Oracle.
Hit points- (8+1con)+(5+1con), with favored class bonus going towards 'spells known'. You are right, I was 1 off.
Initiative should be 0, apologies.
BAB and CMB and the like will be corrected.
Skills will be investigated- i'm used to playing a half-elf so i've probably got the extra skill point wrong, apologies.
Class features- I believe I get another revelation at level 3, not level 2.
'Legalistic' is my Oracle Curse, which is valid for Organized Play. Check d20pfsrd for Oracle Curses.
Spells- that is my list of 'spells known', with the top row of cells detailing how many spells per day I can cast.
0-level spells are accounted for by spending favoured class bonus on extra 0-th level spells.
I have no equipment apart from armor and such.
I'm afraid I have not yet gone through the process of adding up gold and XP and such from the character, will do imminently. Character has played 3 games.
Thanks very much for your comprehensive feedback.
Doh! I forgot max hps at 1st level. Okay that frees up the favored class bonus for the 0 level spells known. And that total /does/ give you 15 so you had it right originally.
I was confusing mystery for revelation when I looked at the chart so my mistake there.
You currently have Haunted listed as your oracle curse on page 2 so you'll want to switch that. I foresee waves of PFS oracles taking the legalistic curse as you can essentially circumvent the penalties indefinitely in a PFS game by never overtly giving your word or making promises. Easier to do in an episodic game like PFS than in an ongoing campaign. Not poking at you, more at the designers on that one :p
Your character has at least a set of clothing to be listed in equipment which will push him into heavy encumbrance. You can fix that once you have enough fame to access a set of mule back cords, but it might suck a little for now.
Understood on the spells per day. You'll want to change the x4 to x6.
|Mordecai Shrykeson.
Second page is just meant to be an information sheet, but yes when I was planning the character I previously had Haunted. I also chose Legalistic because it fits in quite well with my backstory. I would be very willing to work out some arrangement with you whereby I must give my word once per day, preferably to perform some party mission?
Also considering a Masterwork backpack.
|Mordecai Shrykeson.
I'm not planning on hassling you about the curse, but if you want to make use of it I would be happy to see it in play. That's up to you as the player though, I'm not looking to impose additional restrictions on you.
Marchello> you still have a 25 point buy. Need to knock that down to 20 before I can fully go over your sheet.
|Marchello Aria PFS
Thanks - working on it this morning, will finalize today. I also will keep the PFS in the name as this is a PFS version of this character I want to run. I have another, that I have not played yet waiting for the right Carrion Crown Scenario.
As an FYI, I will be heading to Gen Con Thurs morning through Sunday so I will be a little MIA, less regular posting than normal.
EDIT - hes updated and ready for review.
|Jake Hargrove
|Noamuth PFS
Your CMB lists the correct modifiers, but the total adds up to +2. It says +0 now.
Subject of Study is from the Carrion Crown Player's Guide. I'm not finding it on the Additional Resources page that would make it legal for PFS.
Holy water is 25 gp per flask. You bought three for a total of 3gp.
Favored Class went to hps right?
It looks like you have only spent skill points for level 1 though oddly you must have two ranks in one skill which would require being level 2. Anyway you are getting three ranks per level (2 for being a fighter and 1 for being human) so you have three more ranks to spend on skills. Also you have your modifier for Fly too low by one.
Acrobatics -1 (+2 dex, -3 ACP)
Escape Artist -1 (+2 dex, -3 ACP)
Fly -2 (+2 dex -3 ACP)
Intimidate +5 (2 ranks, +3 class, +0 cha)
Ride -1 (+2 dex, -3 ACP)
Stealth -1 (+2 dex, -3 ACP)
Survival +6 (1 rank, +3 class, +2 trait)
Swim +1 (+4 str, -3 ACP)
Half-Elves: all alternate racial traits except drow-blooded and drow magic are legal for play; all racial subtypes except drow-descended are legal for play;
Traits:The Savant trait isn't legal for PFS (presumably) because it comes from being part of the Kitharodian Academy which is a different organization. If you look at the additional resources entry for that book they only allowed the faction traits that are tied to the Pathfinder Society. I bet there is an alternate trait to get Perform added to your class skills, but I'm too lazy to sort through them.
You note that you get 6 skill ranks, but only spent 5.
Favored Class:
You get either one more hp, one more skill rank, or you can add one quarter of a point to the trap sense bonuses that barbarians get. (They remain phantom points until you level enough to get a whole number)
Make sure to finish that out before we start. If you aren't sure about the odds and ends they introduced some equipment kits in the PFS Field Guide. Like this one: Pathfinder's Kit 12 gp and 22 pounds. And don't forget clothing.
You might find it useful to add this in the resistances section below your saving throws:
+2 trait bonus vs charm and compulsion effects
and +2 save vs enchantments
I've seen plenty of players forget their own circumstantial bonuses. Then again, maybe you don't need the reminder like I would :)
I don't know if you have Faith's of Purity but if you don't would you like me to cut and paste Iomedae's Code over here? I thought the paladin codes per god was one of the best features of that book.
Fame and Prestige? From the money spent it looks like Omrax has played at least one scenario.
I intended to start this game today, but with two people out of town for the weekend I think I'm going to postpone till Monday. Still I had asked for all characters to be in by today and haven't heard anything back from you as to class, race, level, nothing. If I haven't heard from you by this time tomorrow I'll move down the list and rotate in the first alternate.
|Noamuth PFS
Noamuth>Additional Resources, ARG Entry wrote:Half-Elves: all except drow are legal for play;
Traits:Savant isn't legal
You get 6, spent 5.
Favored Class:
Make sure to finish that out before we start.
Yes, and thanks. I had set sCoreForge to PFS mode, and thought that would filter for me. Savant I took as the first perform I found in the list, I'll keep looking. I'll address all the above and update by tonight, posting here to flag changes.
Thanks again.
Here's one for Perform. It's an Elf trait, but you may be able to access it as a half elf.
Ahh. And here's a religion one.

Definitely good suggestion to add as I would probably forget them. I do not have the faiths book so I would be interested in the code.
Finally yes Omrax only has "master of the fallen fortress" and I do not see that he earned any fame for that mod.
|Noamuth PFS
• PERFORMANCE ARTIST (Faction: Taldor): As a youth, you studied in the avant garde theatre scene of Oppara. Your performance skills have been known to bring even the toughest crowd to their feet. You gain a +1 trait bonus on Perform (dance) skill checks. This bonus increases to +5 when using Perform (dance) to make money. (PFSc: GtPSOP 18)
• VARISIAN WANDERER (Regional: Varisa): You were raised among or have spent time with a group of Varisian nomads, whether travelers, Sczarni criminals, or entertainers, and have learned their ways. Choose one of the following skills: Perform (choose one type), Profession (fortuneteller), or Sleight of Hand. You gain a +1 trait bonus on this skill, and it is always a class skill for you. (PFCo: ISP 22)
Can you confirm either or both of those are legal?
Ahh yeah. Looks like that one is still 0 Prestige.
Iomedae's Code:
Iomedae The paladins of Iomedae are just and strong. Their
mission is to right wrongs and eliminate evil at its root.
They are crusaders and live for the joy of righteous battle.
They serve as examples to others, and their code demands
they protect the weak and innocent by eliminating sources
of oppression, rather than the symptoms. They may back
down or withdraw from a fight if they are overmatched,
but if their lives will buy time for others to escape, they
must give them. Their tenets include:
• I will learn the weight of my sword. Without my heart
to guide it, it is worthless—my strength is not in my
sword, but in my heart. If I lose my sword, I have lost a
tool. If I betray my heart, I have died.
• I will have faith in the Inheritor. I will channel her
strength through my body. I will shine in her legion,
and I will not tarnish her glory through base actions.
• I am the first into battle, and the last to leave it.
• I will not be taken prisoner by my free will. I will not
surrender those under my command.
• I will never abandon a companion, though I will honor
sacrifice freely given.
• I will guard the honor of my fellows, both in thought
and deed, and I will have faith in them.
• When in doubt, I may force my enemies to surrender,
but I am responsible for their lives.
• I will never refuse a challenge from an equal. I will give
honor to worthy enemies, and contempt to the rest.
• I will suffer death before dishonor.
• I will be temperate in my actions and moderate in my
behavior. I will strive to emulate Iomedae's perfection.
If any of you guys are interested I'm going to run 3-18 God's Market Gamble today in a real time game @ 2:30 pm Eastern.
The program I'm using only works on PCs (no Mac) but it is very easy to use.
|Noamuth PFS
OK, I think I've dotted all the 'I's and crossed the 'T's. One question pending in the equipment list, but no matter if it goes unanswered, could roll the question into 'performer' garb.
Thanks for your patience.
|Jake Hargrove
I'm going to kick off this game today now that everyone is back home. You still have time to make little adjustments and if you got any GM credits or boon sheets and would like to use them here you have time to apply them. Just let me know.
spider21b hadn't realized this was a pbp so I invited our second alt to take the 6th slot. If we don't hear back I think you all are fine with 5 tough PCs. 6 players tends to make things a little easy in the earlier seasons anyway.
|Mordecai Shrykeson.
Noamuth> One piece of bad news and then some good to slightly offset it. Drow sign language isn't legal as a player choice. It isn't in the Core Rule Book or the Inner Sea Guide World Guide.
If you have a high Intelligence modifier, you may selectbonus languages from those listed in your race's entry in
the Core Rulebook and the Modern Human Languages list
(The Inner Sea World Guide 251). Certain classes grant access to additional bonus languages (e.g., Draconic for wizards). Humans and half-elves with high Intelligence scores may
learn all the above languages as bonus languages as well
as any other language except Druidic and the languages
listed under Ancient Languages on page 251 of The
Inner Sea World Guide. All languages except Druidic
are available by putting a skill rank in Linguistics (see
below). Tian characters receive the languages Tien and
Common for free.
d20pfsrd also lists Drow sign language as a secret language like druidic. I'm not sure what their source is on that, but it sounds about right because drow are virtually unknown on Golarion. The entire point of one AP is finding out that drow exist and what they are.
That said- all Pathfinders are trained in basic hand signals. Not a full language but enough to silently communicate how you are about to head into a dangerous area for example. Here's a quote from someone elaborating on it in another thread:
Pathfinder Sign is similar to hand gestures you see in military movies. The type you see used by patrols for things like – stop, down, I see something ahead, you(the person I'm pointing at), move in that direction, boobytrap. The messages conveyed are very basic and are generally limited to a very small set of circumstances.
So you can choose a different language to fill that slot and still get the basic functionality I imagine you were looking for.

Man shot in leg near 16th and Lafayette Road
Metro Police are interviewing potential witnesses after a man showed up at IU Health-Methodist Hospital with a gunshot wound to his leg early Thursday morning.
The unidentified man, described by police as Hispanic and in his 20s, claimed he was hit by a random bullet in the parking lot of the Phillips 66 gas station on 16th Street, just west of Lafayette Road, around 3:15 a.m.
Police interviewed witnesses at the gas station and across the street at the Sunset Strip club, and are checking surveillance video from businesses in the area to determine where the bullet may have originated.
A shell casing was found in the gas station parking lot, but investigators have not matched it to the wounded man, who is expected to recover.

'The Bear' Signs For Warrior Promotions
Warrior Promotions Fighter Management are proud to announce that they have signedto their growing list of British talent. Broughton is one of the UK MMA scene's premier Heavyweight fighters and is a fantastic addition to a already strong Warrior Promotions line-up.
A four year veteran of the sport, Broughton has fought across the UK and has learnt his trade in a variety of different shows. Standing at 6 feet 3 inches (188cm) and weighing just over 265 lbs/120kg, Broughton is an imposing figure within the UK/European Heavyweight ranks and possesses considerable skill to go with his size, which has seen him rack-up an impressive 8-4-1 professional MMA record, whilst also earning many plaudits for his powerful wrestling, ground and pound and durability
Broughton first gained national recognition in 2006 when he became the British Heavyweight Cage Rage Champion after defeating James "The Colossus" Thompson at Cage Rage 17 in Wembley Arena, on just one week's notice. Broughton then went on to defeat Robert "Buzz" Berry by Knock Out and submitted the world renowned ex-World Super Heavyweight Boxing Champion, Eric "Butterbean" Esch later on that year. However Broughton's win streak was ended in February 2007, when a cut eye in a bout against Tengiz Tedoradze forced a premature end to a closely fought contest.
Since then Broughton has battled injury on several occasions which has slowed his progress, but on his return to the Cage in March 2008, he showed his potential once again by ending the unbeaten record of Neil Grove at Cage Rage 25 by Majority Decision. Since then Broughton has only fought once more when he took a last minute fight against the former UFC Champion Ricco Rodriguez, back in October. On that occasion Broughton impressed again early on, but ultimately succumbed to a second round kneebar. However his performance was highly regarded by the MMA media, which has only increased Broughton's determination to break through into the world scene.
With six wins out of his last eight bouts, Broughton is now looking to solidify his reputation in the UK MMA scene, and breakthrough onto the lucrative foreign circuit in 2009. To facilitate this process the Heavyweight powerhouse signed with Warrior Promotions in December 2008 and both sides are looking forward to Broughton making an impact on the world stage in the near future.
Upon hearing the news Andy Lillis, co-owner of Warrior Promotions was quoted as saying "We are really pleased to end the year with the signing of Rob 'The Bear' Broughton to our Management company. I know he has been approached by other management teams offering their services, but by signing with us, I think it shows just how well respected the Warrior Promotions team is, and how far we have come over the last few years. We are known for not pushing our fighters too fast too soon, but Rob has already paid his dues and defeated some of the best fighters that the UK has to offer, so we will be looking to push Rob internationally very soon in 2009."
Warrior Promotions hope to secure a fight for their new Heavyweight star early in 2009 and are already reviewing several tempting offers from home and aboard, as they look forward to taking one of the UK's top Heavyweight talents into the world scene where he belongs. Broughton joins the likes of Dan "The Outlaw" Hardy, Jim Wallhead, Rosi Sexton, Ross Pearson and more who have already signed to the UK based Sports Management Company.
Information on Warrior Promotions
Warrior Promotions is one the longest established MMA promotion in the UK, having staged over 37 successful events since 2002 through its Cage Warriors Fighting Championship promotion, retaining notable stars such as; Michael Bisping, Dan Hardy, Gegard Mousasi, Jeff Monson, Antonio De Silva Junior & Rosi Sexton as its current Title Belt Holders.
It is also the most successful UK management agency for aspiring MMA fighters and retains and constantly develops worldwide links within the sport. 2009 will herald an all new line up of the 'British Warriors' as an invincible force to dominate MMA around the world as it travels across Europe, Asia and the Americas in its quest for global submission. 2TUF2TAP, the signature brand owned by Warrior Promotions will also be surging back onto retailers shelves as part of a massive marketing and media campaign and spearheaded by a series of MMA events.
