Roger Clemens making a comeback at 50
Here's one nobody saw coming: Roger Clemens is making a comeback.
The 50-year-old Rocket has signed with the independent Sugar Land Skeeters and will start on Saturday.
Here's hoping the Red Sox pick him up. We need more drama around Fenway Park.
On a somewhat serious note, Clemens is set to be on the Hall of Fame ballot this year for the first time and will probably not get elected right away (if at all) because of his ties to the use of performance enhancing drugs.
If Clemens were to get in just one game, he would not be eligible for another five years. By then, perhaps opinions about PED use may have changed in his favor.
It's completely unlikely to happen. But why wouldn't the Houston Astros give Clemens a start?

Flight there: The kids did great, even with the additional 40 minutes on the plane for de-icing. With about an hour to go they both got antsy, but we were able to entertain them. The rental car took forever to get, but Terran shared his Transformers with another kid who was waiting and Kenna slept on me.
Christmas dinner: We got to Brad's and it was so exciting seeing everyone. Mom made sure our Christmas dinner was warm and served within minutes of getting there and it was so good after all the travel! The company and festive air was fun! Right when we got there, Terran left us by the car and found his cousins. They played and played.
Legoland: For an activity, we went to Legoland. The kids had a lot of fun and it gave us a lot of time to chat about life with the other adults. I'd had the idea that we would try to do some of the touristy things around, but it really turned out that we visited a lot and that is more fun anyway!
Jason's baptism: Fun for everyone to get together. It was cool to be there and watch Jason prep for the big day. After he was baptized and they were getting out, Terran yelled "I want to swim!" Go figure.
Sickness with Linds: We only stayed at Brad's a few nights, then headed to Lindsey's. Brooklyn and Terran both came down with a strange fever and lethargy, and my whole family had congestion and colds, so we hunkered down and going out at the apartment. It really wasn't all bad though because we got to chat, the men ran to the store a few times and the Guntry Club for some bonding, and each day we got to walk or play by the river. Terran really liked playing with Brooklyn and was sad when she would nap. He even didn't want to go home because he wanted to stay with Lindsey and Brooklyn!
Park: We all got together at the park for the last time and got another hour of quality hang time. I live my siblings and their company and really love that the cousins love each other. Something I didn't realize would happen living so far apart....
New year's Eve: basically didn't even acknowledge it! Between sick kids and being tired, I think we were all in bed by 10, maybe earlier!
Flight home: our connection in Denver was delayed and delayed and delayed, but our kids did awesome and eventually feel asleep before we boarded and stayed asleep the whole time. The worst was when we went out to get in the car and had to stand in the freezing cold when Terran was half asleep because he starts yelling and gets uncontrollable in those types of situations.
We already miss our family it there but are so glad for the time we got to spend with them!

As seen at CES 2015, Muzik's audio technology is expanding across devices from beyond their smart on-ear headphones to smart drum sticks. The tech-embedded musical instruments create high-quality sound and are used with the world's first smart headphones. Using motion sensors and augmented reality, the mobile entertainment innovation allows users to contain sound as they practice.
Combining state of the art technology and sound quality, the wireless Muzik smart drum sticks use motion algorithms and augmented reality to work in conjunction with the smart headphones. Beginners and advanced drummers alike can practice without the use of a drum set. The headphones let users hear what is silent to others and also sync up to the Muzik Connect app and other mobile applications. Further headphone-accompanying accessories are planned as well as more custom connect apps.

I have in my hand an hardcopy of the last book from Felipe and Chris, and it feels good. Title: "Web Services Architeture and its specifications: essentials for understanding WS-*", ISBN 0735621624.
I knew there was a niche in the current offering for such a book, and I'm happy to see that the niche has been filled in one of the best possible ways. The two guys had active parts in the spec process, so they are in a great position for explaining the rationale behind things and give a global view of how WS-* specs are intented to team up. The text is pretty easy (have you ever attended a presentation from Felipe?), so I think it's more than suitable for somebody who just approached the topic. In fact, I can't help to envy a bit the novice: reading this book will get you up to speed in few hours, instead of having to follow years of articles/discussions/projects as who started in 2001 had to! 🙂

Carol and Larry, S.F., Calif.
We've stayed here two years in a row and look forward to next year's stay. The location in Trastevere is perfect for us. We love being part of the neighborhood. There is a terrific bakery in the same block, a daily produce market and two grocery stores one block away. So much else is within walking distance and transportation to other destinations is nearby. The apartment is lovely. It's airy, bright and attractive. It's comfortable with lots of room. It's well stocked. The owner and his agent, Chiara, are very responsive and helpful.
My husband and I stayed in this lovely apartment for five nights. The apartment is classic, clean, comfortable, and convenient to everything we wanted to do. We used the 115 bus to get to the Vatican--very easy. We enjoyed the serenity and spaciousness of the apartment, the comfortable bed with beautiful linens, and the liveliness of the neighborhood. Thank you, Massimo, for your kindness and consideration. This is truly a great place to stay.
What a wonderful experience! We loved this apartment. There is a strong feeling of being in a neighborhood, but the location is still close enough to easily reach the historical sites. The farmer's market, bakery, butcher shop, cafes and gelateria are only a block away. The metro, bus stop and taxi stand are just a short walk from the apartment. The apartment is spacious, clean and safe. We really enjoyed having the kitchen and using the clothes washer. I've been to Rome before and always stayed in hotels. This was by far the best experience. Kudos to Alex and Massimo for making our trip plans so easy to manage. They were so prompt in responding, arranged a private car service to pick us up at the airport. Free wifi is available in the apartment. Just an all-round great time!
Thank you Massimo and Alex!
We had a wonderful stay at your apartment. It is clean, comfortable and convenient. All renting transactions were very smooth and easy. Transportation, taxi stand, supermarket - everything is nearby. Small bedroom window is facing courtyard of the building and very quite. Courtyard is gated and secure. Trastevere district is so lively at night and we enjoyed stating in it a lot. We would happily stay there again and again!
Wow, what an incredible of adventures we had in Rome. This apartment was the perfect place to rest and relax after each long hot day of sightseeing and adventures in Rome. Max was the perfect host and very attentive to our needs. As three women traveling alone and visiting our daughters at John Cabot University we felt very comfortable and safe in this apartment. It's was very spacious and clean. Convenient to all the sights we wanted to see, and we really felt like we were living as part of the neighborhood. I will have no problem referring this apartment to friends and family .

Everyone knows about NaNoWriMo, right?
In the month of November, writers from all over the world abandon housework and dependants in order to churn out 50,000 words on a new project. For some, it's an immense challenge, one that having others with a common goal greatly helps to achieve; for others, it's a normal day's work, but with the added bonus of an amplified, enthusiastic, and borderline insane community.
I wrote about why I do NaNoWriMo here, and addressed various questions that fence-sitters have here. The short version is, it's amazingly fun, the community is great, and I've never had a year pass where I'm not surprised at what I write.
My NaNoWriMo History:
- 2004 – The Laraleoran (High fantasy, 86,000 words)
- 2005 – A Sympathetic Life ("The Intersex Story", Mainstream / gender-play, 52,000 words)
- 2006 – Made for Another World ("The Clone Story", Science Fiction, 50,000 words)
- 2008 – The Dodgeball Conspiracy I ("The Rockstar Story", Mainstream, 50,000 words)
- 2009 – The Dodgeball Conspiracy II ("The Rockstar Story II", Mainstream, 51,000 words)
- 2010 – Triple Thread ("The Threesome in Space Story", Science Fiction, 75,000 words)

How to read people like an FBI agent
I was on a was on a walk the other day when my fiance and I passed by a woman talking to her child. As we passed, we heard her say: "You know, some people act like they're your friend, but they're really not!"
We both looked at each other and giggled–considering that is a hefty lesson to try and teach a 5 year old–and it was clear that the woman had been burned before. But I got to thinking about it: How often do we miss the signs and the cues that DO tell us someone isn't a good friend? That something is off in your relationship? That something is not quite right?
It reminds me of when you talk to couples who have been together for a long time and say: "Then, overnight, everything changed", which led to their breakup or divorce.
This used to scare me, thinking: Oh dear! Scary things will happen out of the blue I have no control over and the love of my life will somehow, mysteriously, turn into an unrecognizable monster and I won't be in love with him anymore!
But that is NOT how life–or people–really work.
Because there are signs–EVERYWHERE–that people choose to ignore
When you find your relationship is on the rocks, it is not because you didn't take out the trash. That is a symptom of much bigger, deeper problems. Usually that there have been little problems building up over time–tiny things that seemed like they didn't matter–but boy, they did. And when they build up, it is a breeding ground for resentment, frustration, and anger.
But there are SO MANY WAYS to prevent this!
And it starts with learning how to 'read' people–the art of understand what people are NOT saying, NOT communicating, and NOT telling you. It's a hard skill to learn, but you can learn it. The most important part of it is learning HOW to listen.
Case Study #1: The Friend Who Is Not 'Friend' Material
I hear a LOT of complaints from people about how their friends are flaky, or that they give to their friends all the time and get nothing in return. What they would really hate to hear from me is that they not only attracted those friends, but CHOSE to STAY friends with those people.
But why?
This is one of those situations that people hate to realize that they are the most common dominator in. They blame other people, but really, there were red flags and signs from the very beginning that 'signal' to you they might not be friend material.
This happened to me a few months ago.
I met someone new, and really enjoyed them. They made a great first impression, and I'm always up for getting to know someone better to see if we might be longer-term friends. I am a serial friend-dater, indeed.
We set up a time to get together, but before then, happened to be at a group BBQ together. It was there that I noticed that something was off. This person is certainly a good person, but I noticed they were a bit flighty. I felt that they couldn't really keep their train of thoughts straight.
This wasn't a deal breaker, but I filed it away in my head. Noted. Words of my surrogate grandmother, Maya Angelou, ring through my head: "When people tell you who they are, believe them."
After the BBQ, we agreed we were still on for our plans.
But then, at the last minute on the day we were supposed to meet, they canceled. Without an attempt to make up for it or make new plans. And it wasn't that something more important had come up–like family, or an emergency. It was…just 'because'.
When it happened, I almost wasn't surprised. Given what I had observed, the pieces fit. So I made a mental decision: That this person, was a good person. But for me, not friend material. I wasn't going to make an effort to get together again.
And because I do that, and accept that this is who the person is right now, I don't end up in situations where I feel frustrated, angry, or resentful for someone being a flake. I saw it from day 1, saw it manifest itself, and decided I was not interested.
This is what I mean by READING THE SIGNS
The faster you can read them, the more control you have. YOU can decide if you want to continue or limit a relationship with someone. If they change later on, great! But don't wait around expecting that to happen. You'll waste your life.
Case Study #2: The Exceptional Conversationalist
So often, the get this question from people: "How do I stop talking or rambling too much?"
But this is a more complicated question than that. What that question doesn't consider is the other person in the interaction. A way to look at it that will give you more helpful answers is: "What should I look for in the other person to tell me when I should end a story, or ask them a question?"
Why is this better?
It puts the focus on THEM–READING THEM–instead of on you.
Because we know that sometimes people may talk for a while, but they are wildly entertaining storytellers. But other people talk for just a sentence, and it's like you're hearing a PSA from the Great Depression. You want to get out of there as fast as possible.
Because there are no 'hard and fast' rules. It's all about your AUDIENCE.
One of the mistakes I see people make all the time is talking about what is NOT relevant to the people in the conversation. They go on–way past when the other person's eyes have glazed over–before they have any understanding of whether or not the other person is interested.
Here's what I mean:
Let's say someone asks you what your favorite restaurant is. Let's say it's an Italian place. You start raving about the place and talking about Italian food. Little do you know, that the person you're talking to doesn't eat pasta, prefers Indian food, and has already been to the place you mentioned and doesn't like it.
Usually we'd face this fact with indignation: How am I supposed to know?!
The answer is to ASK.
So instead of: "My favorite place is so-and-so, it's so delicious, it's right on this street, you HAVE to go there, I just LOVE Italian food, etc"
You say: "I love this place called X. Have you ever heard of it or been there?"
You ask the question to 'take the temperature' on the other person. If they respond with enthusiasm, you two can go to town on the virtues of Parmesan cheese and what makes fine capellini. But if NOT, you simply ask them another question: "Oh no? It's fantastic. What's your favorite place?"
Asking these kinds of questions prevents ALL kinds of unpleasant moments in conversation where one person feel like the other person isn't listening or 'getting' them.
So this is not just about reading the signs, but asking questions to see what the signs ARE. Let other people reveal themselves to you, instead of trying to guess.
Case Study #3: Hearing the Unsaid
I love when I hear from someone: "Well this person said X…so why aren't they doing that?"
And I have to gently break the news that people *rarely* say what they mean, and that while the person may have had good intentions, they didn't actually mean what they said.
It's like a while ago when a reader emailed me saying that one of my emails was 'scammy'. He had even showed it to his friends, who agreed with his assessment.
Now this is someone I had interacted with before. He wasn't a stranger. So at first I was annoyed that he emailed telling me that.
But then I understood what was really going on.
It wasn't my email that was scammy. It was that I used an email to sell a service of mine–and it threatened him. Whatever beliefs and preconceived notions he had about money and selling were triggered by my email. So the only way to deal with it was to express that to me.
But this is why it was impossible for me to feel offended. He wasn't assaulting my character. His reaction was all about him. Once I understood that, it was easy to handle.
So in that case, even though he said one thing, I couldn't take it at face value. I had to dig deeper and really understand where he was coming from.
Another example of this:
When I was younger, and dating guys that weren't right for me, I would be so upset when they would say "I'll call you" or "You're perfect" and then not call, and break up with me.
But this is one of those situations where when you're dealing with people, you have to watch what people DO…not what they say.
What I didn't understand at the time was that even though they didn't treat me well…I let them. They had no respect for me. So for them, saying "I'll call" is just a nicety. You just say it, without thinking about it. My fault was taking it as gospel.
But because they didn't truly respect me, they never followed-through. You have to understand why–it was because I never acted in a way that let them know I was worth treating well! This was MY responsibility…not theirs. I let the whole thing happen.
So How Do You Start to Practice This?
Reading between the lines and learning HOW to listen is one of the most critical, underrated skills to cultivate of all time. Without it, it's too easy to get into unpleasant situations, too easy to be manipulated, and too easy to be disappointed. When you learn how to read people, you have power–in the best way. You are not at the whims of other people.
So today, instead of telling you what to do, I"m going to offer you something fun.
Email me back and tell me about a situation that you had no idea how it happened, or how to respond. Maybe it was a weird situation at work, or in your relationship, or with a friend. Or your kid! I'll respond back to point out the parts that are 'red flags' and exactly how to decode them. That way you know what this looks like in practice, and you can go out and do it yourself.
Email me back and tell me your story. I can't wait to help you.

I'm a self-employed video-artist and this is my first installation which just needs power and it runs (where I'm quite proud of). Normally my interactive installations take a long setup time, so this installation is a relief :)

Slater won his first surf contest at age 8. He turned pro at 18 and seized his first world title two years later. But, by the time he'd won his sixth world championship, become a celebrity and pulled down a cool million a year, Slater had become bored and isolated.
He admits he was a cold-blooded robosurfer whose friends hated him. He'd win $25,000 in a day and wouldn't even buy anybody dinner. So, he quit the tour.
Slater tried his hand at acting, music and merchandizing. But the most important thing he did was address the demons of his youth. He went home to spend time with his mother, brother and daughter.
With his family life in better shape, Slater rejoined the tour, only to have his father become gravely ill. Slater went home again and took up a friend's challenge that he lead in his family's emotional recovery.
Slater soon realized that he really could improve their lives. And if he could break down his problems into bits—the same way he'd break down a wave into an infinite number of intersecting surfaces—he could balance his own life, too.
By last fall, Slater had found his bearings. He went back to slicing and dicing the waves, and in November, reclaimed the world championship.
Lesson: If you hit a plateau and can't go on, deal with the underlying cause and then make your comeback.
—Adapted from "Go Big: Make a Comeback," Michael Roberts, Outside.

Magic makes it all complete by Tell-Me-LiesWatch
Oh gosh oh gosh, okay. Several things. Firstly:
Hours before I finished working on this, =aeolus06 uploaded a very similar picture (which is extremely lovely and you should go look at it), and so I feel a little bit like a copycat, but I promise this is not so - it is just the siren call of ponies, that's all. In fact, everybody should probably be drawing a similar picture right now, so what exactly is the holdup, you guys?
Secondly, I really have practiced drawing pony ponies instead of people ponies, so hopefully I'll be brave enough to post some of those too, eventually.
Now, about this picture, I should probably apologize. For some reason, my brain thinks 80s/90s fashion is the best thing in the world, as long as it's not being worn by me or by any real person. I was going to dress them in cute contemporary clothes, but I don't know anything about contemporary fashion anyway, so I might as well give them dorky out-of-date outfits as not, right? If you look closely, you will see that Twilight is wearing a snap-band, as well as one of those really cool bright watches I wish you could still buy.
Regarding Rainbow Dash, I haven't done any research at all, so it's entirely possible that I was the only kid who thought knotting your t-shirt at your waist was the height of coolitude, but I'm fairly sure the tie-die was actually a thing in those carefree days of the last millennium.
Pinkie Pie ...P-Pinkie Pie chose her own ensemble.
Rarity makes her own fashion and always has, and Fluttershy would look just as sweet and pretty in a potato sack. I suspect Applejack would also look about the same no matter what the decade. I wish you could see her freckles better.
And that's it. Download if you wish, for increased bigness.
Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died.
Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a monday night at 12:00a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death.
Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if u copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes u will have the best day of ur life tomorrow. u will either get kissed or asked out, if u break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room tonight. in 53 mins someone will say i love you or im sorry
Very beautiful! Your interpretation of the humanized "Mane 6" is really something to behold! Worthy of a good, solid critique! Each outfit has a brilliant retro feeling like something girls could put together at American Apparel; they match the girls' personalities so well.
Rarity is definitely playing up the 90s version of rockabilly style with her own sophisticated twist of course! Here I'm reminded of my head canon idea that she could be a special, rare blend of racial backgrounds; the 1 that stays with me the most is that she could be 1/2 French-Canadian & 1/2 Chinese. Makes sense to me given the culinary & artistic traits present in both cultures.
Fluttershy is demure & pretty as ever! The simple dress & sash with big boots & pastel tights are things that she really could wear. Your interpretation of her reenforces my idea that she could be 1/2 white & 1/2 Indian: a beautiful combination.
Twilight Sparkle is a true 90s girl in her outfit; reminds me of girls I went to school with. Yes, her snap-bracelet & bold, bright watch are the icing on the cake! To me, she looks Filipina, which would be really cool! Well, I'd like to think so.
Rainbow Dash always felt like she was Latina to me; I can definitely see it here! You don't disappoint with the tie-dye shirt, black yoga pants & big Air Jordan-style shoes. Nice job keeping her athletic personality as well.
Pinkie Pie is totally 80s! I always pictured her as Scots/Irish with that crazy hair of hers. That's the kind of ultra-bright, neon ensemble that suits her perfectly! The pedal pushers & ballet slippers allow her to run & jump to her hearts content; the best touches are the arm gauntlets & loose belts. Like I said: Totally 80s!
Applejack is the same jolly country girl I would expect to see around the Oklahoma/Texas panhandles. The boots, faded jeans & work gloves suit her perfectly, glad you remembered her trademark hat. The sleeveless plaid shirt with green cami are good for a hot day: she's definitely got the arms I would expect to see on her: muscular & lean.
Excellent work, my dear! An instant favorite for me! I am impressed.
Lol compliment sandwhich XD
I can't get over the cuteness that is Fluttershy <3
All the ponies look marvelous.
I wore tie-dyed shirts when I was in the first grade, and I believe I wore one or two in the fifth grade, as well...

It may sound like some strange factoid hurtling in from a parallel universe, but ragtop shoppers, take heart: sometimes, convertibles are cheaper in summer.
How can that be? We've seen automakers introduce convertibles in the dead of winter--when people are most receptive to the idea of a warm summer day and a topless ride. Other manufacturers say convertible sales stay surprisingly strong throughout the year, aside from a lull in the fall.
There may be no real concrete data to suggest anything consistent, but with our partners at TrueCar, we've uncovered some convertibles that are a deal this summer--right now, while the heat's still on.
Of course, the current economic doldrums have pushed demand for convertibles lower than is usual. In fact, analysts at TrueCar tell us that convertibles are now one of the slowest-selling segments of the auto industry, right at the time of year when you might expect them to be in the highest demand. Some manufacturers have adjusted to the decline in demand, and have built fewer topless models this summer. But some didn't. Dealers are willing to negotiate price on some convertibles.If you're looking for a deal on a convertible, TheCarConnection has found five ragtops (well, four ragtops and one origami-steel retractable hardtop) that you may be able to work an incredible deal on, if your haggling skills are up to par. Warm up your mouse, scroll through these five deals, and get out the SP45:
Angular Front Exterior View - 2010 Ford Mustang 2-door ConvertibleEnlarge Photo
2010 Ford Mustang Convertible
The 2011 Ford Mustang is winning all of the press this summer, with the return of the legendary 5.0-liter V-8. But dealers have thousands of 2010 models left to sell, and the top-down versions of the classic are actually among the slowest sellers this year. To help dealers clear out space for the 2011s, Ford is offering a $3,000 cash-back rebate on every 2010 model, and TrueCar analysts tell us the best deals are on the convertible. It's selling for an average of 10.9% below MSRP.

What is the role and importance of travel insurance?
Travel insurance is much like any other form of insurance, as it provides you with the peace of mind of knowing you're protected in case of disaster, and then allowing you to get on with the more enjoyable parts of life. For many people, they feel their most relaxed, comfortable and secure when they are at home, so when you are planning to leave home for business or personal travel, it makes sense to take as much of that comfort and security with you, in the form of travel insurance.
As well as offering you peace of mind, travel insurance includes many much more tangible benefits too, for example:
- It could also happen to you. According to the Department of Foreign Affairs, it handles over 25,000 instances of Australians needing help overseas. Additionally, one in eight Australians with a travel insurance policy make a claim on that policy.
- Cancellation. Whether you need to cancel your travel plans because of illness, injury or other circumstances, or because your travel provider has been delayed, gone out of business or forgotten to send your airport transfer, travel insurance can help with additional expenses, or to cover lost deposits for cancelled bookings.
- Loss and theft. World travel insurance can help with stolen passports or wallets, or if your luggage delayed by the carrier. Travel insurance can provide a benefit to help organise replacement items and cover losses.
- Illness and injury. If you become ill or injured while overseas, you want to seek out the best care, and focus on getting well, rather than worrying about how currency conversions will affect your hospital bill.

What is World Travel Insurance?
With travel insurance from world travel insurance, you can choose from a number of plan types and structures according to your travel needs, budget and situation:
- Single trip plan. Single trip cover provides insurance for one journey only, and the length of the journey will be specified on the policy document.
- International travel insurance. When you choose an international travel insurance policy you need to make sure that every destination you visit is covered in the policy. You can find cover for medical assistance and hospital and medical expenses. You can also claim in the event of cancellations, lost luggage, credit card fraud and the loss of your passport and travel documents.
- Annual multi trip plan. An annual multi-trip plan allows you to take unlimited trips within a 12 month period without needing to reapply for insurance. Each trip is capped to a certain number of days. You can take out a frequent traveller policy for international or domestic travel, including cover for additional accommodation and travel expenses in an emergency, rental vehicle excess, and a death, permanent disability and loss of income benefit.
- Single or family cover. World travel insurance policies allow you to choose either cover for yourself and your dependent children or grandchildren, or to cover two adults, and your financially dependent children or grandchildren who are under 25 years old.
World Travel Insurance Policy Exclusions
World travel insurance protects you against a range of emergencies, delays or losses. However, you also need to be aware of the limitations of the policies, which exclude cover for:
- Travellers who have a health condition of which they are aware
- Expenses which exceed the cover limits of your chosen policy
- Any medical, hospital, dental or ancillary benefits which are incurred in Australia
- Travellers who are over the maximum age
- Travellers who are not permanent Australian residents.
How to Choose World Travel Insurance
Choosing a travel insurance policy can be almost as difficult as choosing where it is you want to travel. However, where your bucket list is filled with exciting locations, each opportunity more interesting than the last, your list of potential travel insurance policies is much less enticing to pour over. Yet compare you must, because it will be your travel insurance that could be the difference between a disastrous, dangerous and expensive journey, to one with a minor inconvenience in the middle.
To help you compare the myriad travel insurance policies out there, make sure you look at:
- The activities that are covered. If you're planning on doing anything more than walking tours, you should check with your travel insurance provider about each of the individual activities you have planned, and the extent to which they are covered. For example, activities such as skiing, bungee jumping and water sports are not usually covered.
- All of your destinations. Your travel insurer should warn you if your destination has been flagged as dangerous, but it is a good idea to check the government's Smartraveller website too. This is important to know, as claims arising from acts of war or terrorism are not covered by travel insurance.
- Cover for pre existing conditions. Few of us get to the point of travelling the world without having experienced some sort of medical event, so make sure that your medical history is known to your insurer. In some cases asthma and hypertension are considered pre existing medical conditions, and are not covered by your travel insurance.
- Know the limits of the benefits. Most travel insurance policies mirror benefits such as delayed luggage, cancellations, medical emergency and death cover. However, it is in the benefit amounts that you should be comparing travel insurance policies, as you don't want to be held back by a benefit budget when you need medical care or help replacing your passport.
- Remember your role. Most travel insurance policies refuse claims that result from drunken, drug induced, illegal or irresponsible behaviour.
Making a World Travel Insurance Claim
If the worst does happen and you have to make a claim on your travel insurance, you can feel secure in the knowledge that you have compared the best policies and tailored your cover for your needs, and all there is to do now is process the paperwork.
To make a claim:
- You must complete your claim forms and documentation within 30 days of returning to Australia.
- Provide all original invoices, receipts, and other documentation to your insurer.
- If you have questions about your claim or documentation, call your insurer and they will be able to help you sort through any problems.
- It can be useful to photograph your luggage and personal belongings as you pack for your trip, as a record, and to tip you off straight away when something is amiss.
- In the case of a loss or theft, you must file a report with the relevant authorities, and provide a copy of the report to your insurer.
- Make sure you can provide a copy of your Certificate of Insurance.
Frequently Asked Questions About World Travel Insurance
Isn't the travel insurance on your credit card enough?
Many credit card providers do boast free travel insurance when you pay for your holiday on their card. However, in some cases the cover only applies to the cardholder and won't cover any family members travelling with you. Additionally, you may only have cover if you have bought all or part of your trip with your credit card.
How can you be protected from cancellations?
The cancellation benefit on your travel insurance policy will generally only apply if:
- You have to cancel because of your own illness or injury
- You have to cancel because of the illness or injury of a family member
- You have been made redundant
- A natural disaster occurs.
If you cancel your travel plans because you have changed your mind, or it has become inconvenient for some other reason, you can't claim back any cancellation fees or deposits you've already paid.
Can you get travel insurance when pregnant?
This differs greatly between insurers, and some will base their decision on:
- How far along in your pregnancy you are
- Whether conception was assisted, for example IVF
- If you are in a high risk pregnancy.
It is best to be honest with your insurer when you apply, and have the policy documents reflected and tailored to your circumstances.
Do you need health insurance and travel insurance?
Yes. While you are overseas, you are not covered by your private health insurance.
Travel insurance is a big industry, as there are many companies who will prey on your fears and insecurities, and sell you insurance which you don't need, or doesn't suit. Instead, go into your comparisons informed about what you need and what you want, and get the cover you deserve.

Many children take lunches that are completely prepackaged from drink to dessert. They produce a hefty amount of trash because nothing is reusable and much of the lunch often goes uneaten. Moreover, these lunches contain very little nutrition and a lot of fat and preservatives. When packing a child's lunch, use reusable containers and pack only what you think your child will eat. Anyhow, Christmas season is approaching, and until now, my sound system is not yet fixed. I wish my son will buy me a new amplifier or a kaossilator pro. I would be happy if I will have this before Christmas.

I LOVE my little finger.
I do, I really do.
It is one helluva powerful and hard-working part of me.
Like many women, whose bodies have the battle scars and wear and tear of childbearing, I struggle to LOVE much about my saggy, baggy, stretch-marked bits and pieces.
I KNOW I earned them all.
I KNOW how lucky I am to have produced, via natural child-birth, three totally awesome and amazing and gorgeous humans.
I KNOW that my partner doesn't care what my body looks like.
I KNOW that it's totally functional and at this stage still hasn't cracked up, in any major ways.
BUT...as we all know and understand, it just ain't that easy, for a lifetimes worth of reasons, to be 100% happy in our own skins.
It just gets totally deflating trying to tone muscles that have been overworked and over-stretched and to completely honest I've given up the fight. Although I must fess up here and admit I never really fought that hard ; )
But my little fingers?
They can and do regularly carry the most incredible weight, and never give in or up.
It's a skill that I developed through the nightmare that is grocery shopping. A hideous chore made even more horrific when you chuck kid-wrangling in to the mix.
Sure you can get it all to your car in a trolley, but when you get home, no such wonky luxury.
SO, it's all fingers on deck, to tackle the mind-numbingly revolting chore of unloading the car and taking it inside and as I like to get it over and done with QUICKLY the pressure is on each one of them to perform.
Today as I carried in about 25 kilos worth of items, I looked at my little finger and thought "Look at you with 3 and a half kilos of weight just hanging off you there like no biggie".
Congratulations, often neglected, piece of my anatomy and Thank you.

At World Cup, U.S. soccer has one goal against Algeria: win
Wednesday, June 23, 2010
PRETORIA, SOUTH AFRICA -- The United States could extend its stay at the 2010 World Cup on Wednesday by prevailing in a tiebreaker system or -- through a last, desperate avenue that hasn't been implemented by FIFA in 20 years -- have its name drawn from a bowl one hour after its final first-round match.
But if the Americans want to make it easy on themselves, if they'd like to avoid the dizzying permutations and postgame anxiety, there is a simpler, unequivocal and decisive route to the round of 16: defeat Algeria.
"Our objective is very clear: It's win the game and take all the other stuff out of the question," midfielder Landon Donovan said.
A victory by the Americans (0-0-2, two points) at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in Pretoria would ensure a top-two finish in Group C and a berth in this weekend's second stage. A draw might also do the trick, depending on the outcome of the match between Slovenia (1-0-1, four points) and England (0-0-2, two), who face one another at the same time (10 a.m. Eastern time) in Port Elizabeth.
The United States has the advantage on England because it has scored more goals (3-1), which is the second tiebreaker after goal differential. However, if both teams settle for ties and England pulls even on total goals, FIFA would have to draw lots, a procedure last used in 1990 to settle Ireland and the Netherlands' placement in the second round.
With a loss to Algeria (0-1-1, one point), the Americans are headed home after three matches, just like four years ago in Germany.
"It's important for us because we had that disappointment in '06," captain Carlos Bocanegra said. "It's not really extra motivation, but it's just in the back of our minds. You work so hard and you train for so long for the World Cup, and it can be over so quickly."
Historically, the Americans have not fared well in their first-round finales. In 1994, they advanced to the round of 16 despite a 1-0 loss to Romania. In 2002, while losing to out-of-contention Poland 3-1, they received help in the other group match to move on and eventually reach the quarterfinals -- their best performance in the modern era.
In 2006, needing to defeat Ghana to continue, the United States dropped a 2-1 decision.
Overall, in the third game of their World Cup campaigns, the Americans are 0-7-0 and have been outscored 20-6.
The players, though, see a difference in this year's squad, a maturity and perseverance that surfaced during a stirring two-goal comeback in the second half of a 2-2 draw with Slovenia last Friday.
"In the two [previous] World Cups I have been a part of, we haven't strung together three consecutive good results and good performances," Donovan said. "This team has the experience and ability to do that. We are as prepared as we can be for what is ahead."

Sister for Harvey and Wyatt
I'm expecting a baby girl in March. I have two sons, Harvey and Wyatt.
Honestly, I love both of my sons names, but I'll admit I have some regrets about Wyatt paired with Harvey. Harvey is such a strong, unique name, and people tend to love and remember it. Wyatt is just very common by comparison, and it bothers me more than I thought it would. Though I do like both names.
On naming style - Would love a name that is strong, possibly vintage, and that pairs well with Harvey and Wyatt as a sibset. I guess I prefer a name that's not overly common (though a lot we like tend to be common). Some we like are:
Agatha (is this too musty?)
Loretta / Etta
Sophia /Sophie
2 syllable last name starts with "lang" so names that in with "la" are out - have always loved Wilhelmina/Willa, but really is a tongue twister with the last. Favorites from my list? Suggestions?

Harvey is a vintage saint name and Wyatt has a Wild West vibe so I like these names on your list.I would avoid girls names ending in similar sounds (Sophie and Harvey/Violet and Wyatt).
Agatha (is this too musty?) - Nope
Millicent - this isn't as bad as Violet and Wyatt.
AmeliaAll the best,
September 23rd, 2013 01:04 PM #7
Well, if you're looking for something vintage and not too popular I'd definitely avoid: Emily, Amelia, Isabel, Olivia, Sophia, Abigail, Audrey -- they're top 40 names (in fact's that's half of the top 10!)
Violet is definitely rising fast and so is Matilda, but they do have the vibe you're looking for.
Hannah seems a bit dull compared to Harvey and Wyatt
From your list I'd go with Matilda, Millicent, Sadie, or Fiona.
And by the by, I think Wyatt is a lovely name and not at all overly common. Harvey may be more memorable, but I think that's mainly because it's a love it or hate it sort of name--not many people have no opinion about it.Top Names: Benedict Calvin & Noelle Geneva
Olivia/Livy : Darah/Bethel : Eve/Verity
Eli/Solomon : Luke/Zane: Levi/Phineas
Due in January!
September 23rd, 2013 01:07 PM #9
Olivia sounds good, but its way popular and common ( Hannah, Sadie, Abigail, Emily, Isabel, Sophia all popular used a lot too.)
That leaves Agatha ( people would remember this, but maybe not for the right reasons?) Violet, Phoebe, Agnes ( my grandmas name she hated so much she refused to use it and dropped it altogether) Loretta, Nora and Millicent.
I think I'd choose Violet, Nora or Phoebe. Not perfect with your set, but they already are stylistically very different.*Magnolia Anouk /Evangeline/Evelina Charlotte Rue/Junia Evangeline/Viviana Wildflower/ Georgiana Soleil/Sylvie Wilhelmina Moon/ Guinivere Ione Moon*

For 2016 Gotz have introduced two new Jessica dolls and this is one of them. Jessica is a Gotz Precious Day doll and is Petalina's most popular play doll for girls from age 5 up to 8. This Jessica has no fringe and the other Jessica does have a fringe.
Gotz Precious Day Girls are 18 inch/46 cm play dolls with fabric bodies and phthalate free vinyl heads and limbs. Their eyes close and they have very long rooted hair which is the best sort of hair for young girls to play with. Their heads can be turned and their arms and legs are fully articulated so can be moved into many different positions. If necessary the dolls can even be washed in the washing machine (please see the information in washing instructions above).
Gotz Jessica has very long blonde hair with a side parting which reaches down to her waist. Jessica arrives wearing a satin covered hairband with a large bow attached made from white grosgrain ribbon covered in tiny black spots. Her outfit consists of a crisp white cotton shirt with short sleeves, and a contrasting pink facing at the neck. With this she wears a pair of pale pink cropped trousers with a black print showing fashion models. There is a plain pink section around the hem and this is trimmed with black satin ribbon. On her feet Jessica is wearing some sparkly silver trainers and she carries a hessian bag lined with pink fabric covered in black spots and with a pretty bow on the outside together with some silvery pom-poms. I think Jessica has a very grown up and fashionable look which many girls will love.
Gotz make lots of dolls clothes that fit Jessica - just look for Gotz dolls clothes that are designed to fit 45 to 50 cm dolls. Petalina Girl dolls clothes have also been designed to fit the Precious Day dolls and you can find these dolls clothes here.
Other useful items that can be purchased to go with Jessica includes the Gotz wire hairbrush which helps to prevent the buildup of static in the doll's hair which causes tangling and I also love the Gotz salon chair. Because Jessica wears trousers she doesn't have any knickers on so you may want to buy some underwear such as the Petalina Two Pack of Pretty Knickers and also some pyjamas or a nightdress would be gratefully received by Jessica's recipient.
This doll is absolutely beautiful! We already had Elizabeth, so knew what to expect. It is a very high quality doll with an attractive face, lovely hair and is perfect for our newly-five-year-old girl. The packaging was beautiful and the service perfect. Thank you very much for adding many smiles to our daughter's special day!
Granddaughter delighted with her new doll
This doll can be washed in the machine. The hair should be tied into bunches or a pony tail to avoid tangling, and the whole doll placed into a tied pillow case or lingerie bag. This can then be washed in the machine at 30'C on a delicate or hand wash cycle using a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry but remove from the piillow case and dry the doll in a warm place lying face down, making sure that the hair is correctly styled before doing so.
The dolls clothes can be hand washed using a mild detergent in luke warm water. Do not tumble dry but dry flat, smoothing out creases whilst damp. Iron using a cool iron if needed.

Paula Radcliffe expects next year's Flora London Marathon to be her only race at the distance before she goes for Olympic gold in Athens in 2004.
The defence of her title, sealed by race director David Bedford at the London Gateway service station yesterday lunchtime, was officially announced today.
Although Radcliffe had offers from a number of marathons around the world for next year, she insisted the decision to compete inhan #300,000 after winning her inaugural marathon in the capital this year before shattering the world record in Chicago - was made purely for sporting reasons.
Radcliffe, also targeting the 10,000 metres gold medal at the 2003 World Championships in Paris, said: "Initially the feeling was a little bit more towards an autumn marathon, thinking it would give me a little bit more time to recover.
"But the time difference between the World Championships and the autumn marathons isn't that big this year. I will have 18 weeks between the Flora London Marathon and Paris and that will give me plenty of time to recover."
Radcliffe felt it was crucial to get in another marathon before the Athens Olympics and said: "I didn't think I could go that long without running one.
"It would have been a difficult decision to sit and watch the London race but nn even harder for me.
"It was a team training decision and it was made purely for training reasons. The training and the run does add an extra dimension to me as a runner and hopefully it will set me up for a good marathon career.
"The training for running on the track and marathons isn't that much different, maybe just a couple of extra long runs.
"Last year I found that training for the marathon helped the speed endurance on the track. Mentally, itLondon Marathon. Having a bthe springtime helps. It means you are not working to a target which is a long way off."
Radcliffe, who will renew her rivalry in London on April 13 with Catherine Ndereba, the Kenyan she beat as she sliced an incredible 82 seconds off the women's world record in Chicago in only her second race at the distance, believes she can reduce the time further - but that may not happen in London next year.
"I think it's possible to run faster in the future than I did in Chicago but the important thing is to win the race," added Radcliffe.
"The main aim next time is to win the race and learn a little bit more about the people I'm running against and the marathon itself."
Bedford, delighted at having secured the appearance of the hottest property in British athletics for years, has been talking to Radcliffe's husband Gary Lough since last year's race.
"It took a bit of time for Paula and Gary and her team to come to the decision that a spring marathon in London was the right one for them.
"It's a very important decision for us. Winning the BBC Sports Personality of the Year said it all with Paula polling more than the rest of the opposition put together."
Radcliffe admitted she was amazed by the size of her victory in the voting.
"When they read it out I thought it was a mistake at first. Then I was taken aback that so many people voted for me," said Radcliffe, who today also signed a two-year sponsorship deal with Cadbury Trebor Bassett which will see her partly paid in chocolate.
"There are definitely a lot more demands on my time at the moment and it's very nice to receive honours like I did last night. That is my motivation to go out and train harder but I will always put the training demands first."
Lough insisted that there is no way Paula's ambitions will be deflected by other influences.
"There have been a lot of pictures which have appeared recently but they were all taken on the same day," he said. "The training always comes first. It we can fit other things in that will be nice but we know what the priorities are."

Game Theory and Institutions
The genesis of institutions can be treated by game theory, which is expressed at a sufficiently general level, considers direct relations among agents not mediated by former institutions and respects a sophisticated methodological individualism. In that framework, if interested not in the voluntary design of an institution but in the spontaneous arise of an institution, the last will be considered as an emergent structure of the game and practically as an equilibrium state of the game. Hence, the genesis of an institution parallels the genesis of an equilibrium, either by an educative process where the agents are able to induce it from their sole reasoning, or by an evolutionist process where it results from a learning mechanism foIIowed by the agents.

With the Toshiba-backed HD-DVD format reportedly on the cusp of tumbling into the precipice of defeat at the hands of Blu-ray, yet more rumours have now surfaced suggesting that Microsoft Corp. could be about to join the long list of supporters embracing Sony's (almost) triumphant platform.
David Richards at Aussie online technology magazine SmartHouse claims "insiders at Microsoft" in the US have told the site that Microsoft has already configured a standalone Blu-ray player fully compatible with the software giant's Xbox 360 videogames console.
Moreover, there are also suggestions that Microsoft's emergent Blu-ray player could well hit retail within the next three months -- pursuant to "internal marketing and sales approvals."
"We would welcome Microsoft to the Blu-ray stable," said Michael Ephraim, MD of Sony Computer Entertainment, in the SmartHouse report. "In fact it is quite logical for them as the PS3 has been very successful in driving consumers to Blu-ray. In fact we believe that it has done more to win the format war than traditional Blu-ray players."
