The Oakland A's are excited to announce the creation of The Treehouse, a new destination area above the left field bleachers in the Oakland Coliseum. The Treehouse will open at the start of the 2018 season. The space will be open to all fans and will feature two full-service bars, standing-room and lounge seating, a TV wall, and pre- and postgame entertainment.
The Treehouse Pass
Introducing The Treehouse Pass! The Treehouse isn't just a new, unique space in the Oakland Coliseum, it's also a new, unique way to get into every A's home game. With a Treehouse Pass you'll be able to attend every game this season and enjoy all the amenities of The Treehouse and the 2,000 General Admission seats in the second level of the outfield.
Purchase a Treehouse Pass for monthly subscription fee of $29.99 per month. This option will auto-renew each season. The Treehouse Pass will be delivered directly to your mobile device via the MLB Ballpark app. The $120 annual Treehouse Pass for one season-long fee is no longer available for the 2018 season.
Unlike last season's discontinued Ballpark Pass, the Treehouse Pass allows access only to The Treehouse at the Oakland Coliseum, accessed exclusively through gates LL and MM. Access to the rest of the Coliseum and all the amenities it has to offer can be secured on a game-by-game basis via a paid upgrade fee. One free upgrade is included with every Treehouse Pass purchase.
The Treehouse Information
The 10,000-square foot area will consist of three unique spaces: a redwood patio deck with a bar and lounge seating; interior space inspired by an urban treehouse featuring reclaimed wood and metal elements, a renovated bar, a living wall, ping pong, pool, and foosball tables, and numerous seating options; and a standing-room, terraced redwood deck with drink rails and views of the field.
Every Friday night, a DJ will be featured in The Treehouse. NBC Sports California will host their pre- and postgame shows from The Treehouse on select games. The A's Radio network will also be broadcasting a live, 30-minute pregame show from the space for all home games.
The Oakland A's are committed to making the game day experience the best in baseball for all fans. The investment by the club in The Treehouse will create one of the most unique fan experiences across the league. We invite you to come and play in our Treehouse!

Steve Jobs died five years ago, but it is impossible to forget his incredible genius. Without you, Steve, it's much more difficult to Stay hungry. Stay Foolish.
On October 5, 2011, Apple announced that co-founder Steve Jobs had died. He was 56 years old at the time.
We all know who Steve Jobs is.. The genius who revolutionized modern technology and the mastermind who emphasized style as much as function in our everyday digital devices.
However, there are a few facts about Steve Jobs that perhaps you don't know that would shock you. Let's learn a bit more about the real Steve Jobs with these 20 facts (slightly abridged), published by INC.
1. Steve Jobs was adopted shortly after being born.
2. Jobs was, biologically, half Arab. His biological father was Syrian and his mother was American.
3. Jobs and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak met in high school – Wozniak was 18 and Jobs was just 13.
4. Jobs was a pescetarian, meaning he ate no meat except for fish.
5. He was an official college dropout, but continued his education by informally auditing classes.
6. One class Jobs audited was a calligraphy course, which he says was instrumental in the future Apple products' attention to typography and font.
7. There was actually a third founder of Apple – Ronald Wayne, who even designed Apple's first logo. Wayne sold his 10 percent stake just two weeks after partnering with Jobs and Wozniak for only $800.
8. Jobs was pushed out of his own company in 1985. Despite the fallout, he later recognized the coup as a blessing in disguise, as it gave him a chance to experiment creatively and purchase an animation studio, which would later be known as Pixar. Eventually he rejoined Apple as CEO in 1997 (and revitalized the failing company).
9. While at Apple, Jobs always kept his annual salary at $1. Don't worry, with 5.5 million shares of Apple stock and as the majority shareholder of Disney stock (from selling Pixar), he wasn't quite what you'd call a starving artist.
|Credits: Estate Vaults
11. Jobs is listed as either primary inventor or co-inventor for 346 United States patents related to a range of technologies, with most of the patents being for design.
12. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak notes that Jobs never learned how to code.
13. Jobs harbored an intense dislike for PCs, and is quoted as saying to one friend, "I'd rather sell dog shit than PCs."
14. He never put license plates on his silver Mercedes (despite driving it constantly). How did he do it? California has a rule that a car owner has six months to put plates on a new car. Jobs just changed cars (to the identical model) every six months, allowing him to drive without plates.
15. Jobs actually served as a mentor for Google founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, even sharing some of his advisers with the Google duo.
16. Jobs was furious when Google created its Android devices, entering as an Apple competitor in the phone market.
17. Jobs was found to have pancreatic cancer in 2003, but rather than taking the doctor-recommended path of immediate operation, Jobs subscribed to an alternative-medicine regimen, including a vegan diet, acupuncture, and herbal remedies, even consulting a psychic. After nine months, Jobs gave in and underwent surgery. Many consider the delay a major factor in his eventual decline.
18. Apple, Microsoft, and Disney properties (including Disneyland and Disney World) flew their flags at half-staff when Jobs died.
19. Tim Cook revealed in a 2014 interview that Jobs's main office and nameplate are still as they were in 2011, when Jobs passed away.
20. Sunday, October 16, 2011, was declared Steve Jobs Day by the governor of California, Jerry Brown.

Reserve Bank tests waters with new fintech unit
The Reserve Bank is experimenting with a platform used by cryptocurrencies, to test its efficacy in interbank clearing and settlements
When Zuma "went missing" in early January, news-trawling high-frequency traders mistook the SpaceX rocket mission (called Zuma) for an Awol SA president. The result: automated currency trades that led to a rand in disarray.
Fortunately, the volatility was short-lived, a cheap laugh was had, and life moved on.
But Reserve Bank deputy governor Francois Groepe says this type of high-frequency trading, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI), is of concern since it has the potential to cause flash crashes and, ultimately, financial instability.
"The big issue is that with high-frequency trading, you have stop losses that kick in and so you can have more pronounced price swings."
This can affect collateral values, and introduces the prospect of liquidity and solvency problems in the market.
But, because of resource constraints and the need to prioritise, high-frequency trading will not be among the first focus areas for the SA Reserve Bank's new fintech unit.
"Certainly, in the medium to long term we will have to look at things such as high-frequency trading," Groepe says.
The fintech division — which was established in the second half of 2017 to ensure there is a "cohesive view" on fintech — comprises three full-time members.
It is tasked with keeping abreast of innovation and assisting policy makers to draw up appropriate frameworks. Moody's last month said the move to establish the division was credit positive for the banking sector.
The Bank's fintech head Arif Ismail and his team's focus will include reviewing the Bank's stance on privately issued cryptocurrencies, and putting to bed Project Khokha — which involves experiments with distributed ledger technology (DLT).
Khokha is a collaboration between the Bank, six local banks and two foreign institutions. If successful, it could result in a complete overhaul of the way payments are processed.
This month, the parties will test how DLT — the backbone of cryptocurrencies like bitcoin — can be used for interbank clearing and settlements.
They will process high-value payments using Quorum — the DLT platform linked to the popular ethereum cryptocurrency and American bank JPMorgan. Quorum was used in a similar experiment by the monetary authority of Singapore, in Project Ubin.
"We are not committed to moving to DLT, but we are committed to developing a proof of concept and seeing how it works," Groepe says.
The proof of concept could be complete by the end of March, according to Ismail.
The hope is that DLT will reduce payment processing times, processing fees, and cut out the need for intermediaries.
But Ismail says the security of the DLT system is among the key concerns that need to be investigated during the testing phase.
"High-value payments are the heart of our economy.
"Would we move from a very well-established, absolutely secure system to a distributed ledger system where we process something like R300bn/day?
"Those are the things we're trying to [investigate]."
The proof of concept will also entail stress tests. Ismail says the current system can handle about 70,000 high-value real-time gross settlement transactions a day, "but we will try to stress-test it up to perhaps even a quarter of a million transactions".
For the time being, the bank is focusing entirely on local payments, even though some of its counterparts have progressed to testing cross-border transfers.
Saudi Arabia's monetary authority signed an agreement with fintech company Ripple last month to trial international payments using blockchain. According to Moody's, this could save banks in the country up to US$400m/year.
But the Reserve Bank is cautious, perhaps with good reason. In addition to possible security risks, Groepe says shifting to DLT could mean the regulator would have to forgo some of the benefits of the current clearing and settlements system.
"One benefit of [the current] system is we have visibility of what liquidity is like in the banking sector. If there's a bank that has liquidity issues, we can see that coming and provide ... emergency liquidity assistance."
Meanwhile, Groepe says the Bank is laying the groundwork for experiments with "innovation facilitators" — a collective term for fintech accelerators, innovation hubs and regulatory sandboxes. These structures are widely used by other central banks to offer start-ups a place to test their products without having to worry about regulations.
At the same time, the fintech unit will review the Bank's position on privately issued cryptocurrencies, looking at clearing and settlement risks, exchange control implications, cybersecurity considerations and the implications for monetary policy and financial stability.
The Bank will work with other regulators to review the tax implications of cryptocurrencies, consumer and investor protection, and money-laundering risks.
PwC's fintech leader in SA, Paul Mitchell, says the Reserve Bank's approach positions it among "the [more] progressive regulators globally who are investigating fintech and cryptocurrencies, which is a very positive development".
Groepe says the programme has a bigger task at hand than simply ensuring the industry becomes more competitive and efficient.
Recent financial crises occurred because regulation trailed financial engineering and innovation, Groepe says. Additionally, banks that are complacent risk being usurped by new competitors.
"As regulators, we are not going to intervene from a regulatory perspective to pick winners — they have to slug it out among themselves and with the disrupters.
"We would intervene only if there were risks to the system."

Sometimes our words become emptied of any meaning due to their overuse and familiarity. 'Awesome' is one such word, as is 'honestly' (as in the song, 'I honestly love you'). In the church, the word 'repent' is another. This word has become reduced to meaning a person must turn from their sins and seek forgiveness in the salvation which Christ provides. Here is why I don't like this definition of 'repent'. Christ is presented as a solution to a problem (sin), and by turning to him (repenting), and confessing our sins, our problem of sin is removed.
The relevance of Jesus as a 'problem solver' leaves me with the impression that Jesus merely offers a type of spiritual therapy. We are now free to move on with life (the problem of sin has been resolved), and there is no further requirement to consider what demands he might make of us. But consider the alternative view. When Jesus exploded onto the political and religious scene, he announced, "The time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news." (Mark 1 vs 15). We assume he is speaking of the repentance of sin. But is there something more here? In contrast to the superficiality resulting from our empty use of 'repent', the rich meaning of this word is determined by the words which precede it – the 'kingdom of God'. Jesus is issuing a call to redefine your life and its meaning, what we consider true and good, even our values and aspirations, and to orientate every aspect of our lives to his rule, his values and the salvation he is bringing. We are called to 'believe the good news' of the liberation he provides, such as the forgiveness of our sins by his death, but there is much more than the mere cleansing from sin. Repentance is not the narrow sense of turning to Christ to gain 'forgiveness of sins', but the wider meaning that Jesus as THE Lord, THE Son of God, has commanded us turn from self-centred living with its preoccupations (which cause us to sin), and to surrender to his rule as king. This results in a deep, distinctive lifestyle change and is the antidote to the superficiality of much which passes as 'Christianity' today.

Bactrim indications
Bactrim (Septra) is used to treat infections caused by sensitive microorganisms: sicknesses of the breathing tract (bronchitis, acute and chronic; pneumonia; empyema - a purulent infection of the membranes of the lungs; abscess or abscess of the lung; bronchiectasis – enlargement of the bronchial lumen due to contamination); ENT pathology (otitis, or ear infection, sinusitis, or infection of the sinuses); intestinal infections (dysentery, paratyphoid a and b, cholera, typhoid); urinary and genital tract infections (urethritis – infection of the urethra; prostatitis – irritation of the prostate gland; pyelonephritis – inflammation of pelvis and kidney most of the kidney tissue; salpingitis –irritation of uterine appendages); gonorrhea (sexually transmitted disease); smooth tissue infections and skin (pyoderma, or pustular pores and skin lesions; acne; furuncle, or boil); meningitis (irritation of meninges), and abscess (abscess) in the brain, septicaemia (a form of "infection" of the blood); infectious illnesses: brucellosis, malaria, toxoplasmosis, borreliosis, scarlet fever; wound contamination and osteomyelitis; prevention and remedy of PCP in HIV-infected sufferers.

I had an exceptionally enjoyable day at work today, not that any of my usual colleagues knew anything about it. That's because I was on a training course at Manchester University. I got my degree at Manchester University and 20+ years ago attended some lectures in the same building that hosted today's event. Is it me or are students getting younger?
The session was a workshop on Agile software development. This does not involve floating like a butterfly and stinging like a bee, though it does suggest you should be on your feet at times, literally!
I won't bore you with a long diatribe on the chronic crisis affecting the software development industry that has lead to numerous large scale projects appearing in the news for being years late, over budget and in some cases plain not working. It suffices to say that our industry has not been a shining example of delivering what it promised on time and at the agreed price.
Enter the all-conquering hero that is Agile Development!
In a nutshell, it throws away a lot of cumbersome processes and replaces them with a policy of delivering a new version of the software frequently to the customer to get their feedback. (OK, there's more to it than that but my audience is primarily parents, not programmers, so I'm not about to expand at length on the Agile Manifesto.)
So why am I telling you all this?
Well, I thoroughly enjoyed today's event. Agile development may not turn out to be the silver bullet some hope it will be, but there was certainly a shared enthusiasm and excitement in the room today. I feel it somewhat reconnected me with the thrill (yes, thrill) of creating and developing something from scratch, a feeling that can sometimes be drowned in a sea of bureacracy and red tape in a large company. I'm not saying my own company is bad, far from it. But it IS large and sometimes change can come at the pace required to turn around a super-tanker. So the fact I was offered this course to back up my own recent adoption of these techniques is promising in itself.
Engineering of any kind is not exactly a sexy profession, but it can be a very rewarding one, offering a sense of achievement and pride in ones work. Electronics I have designed and software I have written is out there in use in the world today. Much like creating a song and publishing it, the creative process in engineering leads to a tangible end product and with it some satisfaction.
There have been times when I have wondered whether staying in my industry is the right thing to do. It suffices to say, today wasn't one of them.

Aly (after watching my sadsack attempts at painting my right hand's fingernails): I can paint them for you, Mom.
Me: No, sweetie. I have to learn how to do them myself.
Aly: Why?
Me: 'Coz when I go to Yale, I'm gonna have to do it myself. I won't have any friends there to do it for me.
Aly (rolls her eyes): Oh, Mom! You're gonna have lots of friends!
Me: How do you know? What if they don't like me?
Aly: Mom, people don't just like you. They LOVE you. Everybody loves you! It's because you're a good person.
And that is why, my friends, I do not begrudge my daughter the 2.5K it cost to renovate her bedroom.
A HUGE shout out to my husband who did all the work that often goes unappreciated, the bones of the room, if you will.
He patched, retextured and painted all the walls and ceiling, even cutting in the corners of the accent wall sans painter's tape. He did all the wiring for the ceiling fan and installed it. He replaced all the electrical outlet covers and painted them to match the room. He painted and cut the baseboards, making perfect corners even on the rounded parts. He laid the bamboo floor down himself.
Whew! When listed out like that, it makes me realize what an amazing man my husband is.
I can only hope and pray that Aly finds someone as phenomenal as he is someday.

After the meeting the Elders wanted to go to this Wing place that is really good so we did. Well Elder Bradshaw says, "Hey sister Hartley want to go to Duck Commander?" I said that we should check to see how close it is. Well he puts it into his GPS and we come to find that it's only a few miles away! When it hit me that we were actually going I started to cry, and maybe scream a little bit?!?! I was freaking out! Elder Mower is like, "Sister Hartley, It's like you're going home or something?" I was like, "Elder, you have no idea how much this means to me!" Anyways when I saw the sign I just started screaming and crying, and laughing! It was awesome! Seriously so cool! None of the guys were there, but we got some pictures and went shopping in the store they have there! Everything was on sale so I got a t-shirt. Oh and we met some members there from Dallas. It was pretty cool!
Like I said earlier I have been humbled ten fold this week. I had a huge learning curve. We had a situation with are Recent Convert and welfare and it was just confusing. But the Bishop and President McDonough helped us and taught us so much. I'm so grateful for them!
The Lord truly works in miraculous ways. Remember last week I said that Sister Zemp and I went to Wal-Mart to talk to people. Well we had a return appointment with someone we met there the next day. We went and no one was there so we started to knock on the doors beside his. We ended up meeting a couple college kids who are amazing! They invited us to there bible study so we went and ended up meeting a ton more college kids! It was the best! After the bible study (I've been to three in the past week!) a girl came up to me and said that her brother is dating a Mormon and she wants to learn about Mormons! Her name is Hannah and I'm pretty sure we were best buds in the pre-existence and we made a deal that I would come to Lousiana to baptize her! She's fixin' to be a teacher and is doing a practicum at a preschool. She's from a ranch so after we taught her we were swapping stories. She told me a crazy story about a bull they have so I told her about how I almost died from a bull because I ran into the fence! The spirit was strong as I testified that God protected me. I just love her!
Another neat thing that happened this week with a investigator named Melissa. Her son has to get an operation in a few weeks on his heart and they were really nervous so the Elders came over and gave her son a blessing, he's almost 11. After the blessing we asked him how he felt and he said, "I feel really, really good." Melissa was crying and the spirit as strong. The dad is a southern devoted Baptist, but he was present for the blessing and I think it softened his heart towards us. I'm so grateful for the priesthood.
I'm the driver now. It feels so good to be driving! I love it! It's a good stress reliever.
Yesterday we visited a returning member, it was are first time visiting her. We were there for 45 minutes and she talked the entire time! Southern people can talk and talk and talk! We all had a good laugh after!
Anyways, that's all for this week! Love my companions, love Ruston, love the ward, love my investigators, love my mission president, love my fellow missionaries, love the prophet, love the scriptures, love my Savior Jesus Christ.
Sister Hartley.

Increasing investments in renewable sources of energy and favorable government policies are the major drivers for the growth of offshore wind market. For instance, in the U.S, The National Ocean Industries Association have established the U.S's first offshore wind farm in 2017. Furthermore, rising demand for electricity and increasing concerns toward the energy of the non-renewable source such as fossil fuel and awareness for their harmful effects of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide is propelling the growth of offshore wind market.
Europe led the offshore wind market with a market share of 56.99% in 2016 and is expected to reach US$ 39.39 billion by 2025 with a CAGR of 12.9%. Europe has favorable weather for the offshore wind market. Out of all the offshore wind installations, around 88% were located in costal water of 10 European economies in 2016 and remaining installations of around 12 % is located in China, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, and the U.S, according to Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC).

Piping bag holder. . .Works For Me Wednesday
Just take a look at this neat little piping bag holder I picked up at Hobby Lobby last week! It's so great and now I don't have to use every glass in the house to stand up my piping bags! And, it was only $9.99...plus I used my 40% coupon and so was a real bargain. Clearly, I couldn't NOT buy it! :)
{I couldn't resist spending the extra $5.99 for the little plastic tips to keep them from drying out, either.}
This definitely works for me! We Are THAT Family is the place to see all of the WFMW ideas. For my archive of WFMW posts, please click here.

Hide Forgot
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.19-6.2.1 i686)
Description of problem:
I used rpm-4.0.2-6x to upgrade my RedHat 6.0 plus most upgrades to 6.2 from
kernel-2.2.5-22 to kernel-2.2.19-6.2.1. After booting the new kernel I
tried to use "rpm -e kernel-2.2.5" (and got the message "kernel-2.2.5 not
installed" and "rpm -e kernel-2.2.5-22" (and got the message
"kernel-2.2.5-22 not installed") and "rpm -e --test kernel" (and got the
message "kernel specifies multiple packages"). I can delete all the files
of kernel-2.2.5-22 by hand, but how would I then convince rpm that
kernel-2.2.5-22 was no longer installed?
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Just give the rpm command to attempt to remove the old kernel.
Additional info:
All better now! I gave the command
rpm --rebuilddb
after which the command
rpm -e kernel-2.2.5
removed the old kernel.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Buying Tips and Advice' started by pianodude123, Jun 17, 2007.
I am also looking at buying this too.,... BIN of course...
Please do not buy this if you think it is a good deal... I found it... hehe
I wouldnt trust it. The seller has 0 feedback and 180gb hard drive... I wouldn't buy from him.
I wouldn't trust the seller, it has no feedback and it doesn't accept paypal.
The prices are way too low...IT'S A SCAM!!!
If its too good to be true... it usually is
HOw could there be a 180gb HD sealed in box?
I'm tempted to buy the rebel, and just play along with it to see if I will actually get the item... of course using paypal, so that it is fully protected.
that would be a stupid idea... yes, you can put a hold on the money, but a big risk to take
First of all he doesn't accept Paypal, second if he did, we zero feedback you would be protected only up to $200. And by the way would be a pain to get the money back anyway...
Don't think that the Paypal policies help the buyer...they only care about theirself.
BUYER BEWARE! I used to buy a lot of stuff on eBay, and never had a problem. Now with all the fraud on eBay and the Internet, I hesitate to buy on eBay or the Internet.
That price is impossible! That alone will tell you that this is a scam. Also beware of sellers located in New York City.
As the old saying goes, "A fool and his money are soon parted."
Spoken words of wisdom.
lol "Beware of ppl from NY..." haha... damn "leafers!"
*slightly insulted New Yorker*
if you pay with your credit card and dont receive it (or whatever), cant you report it to your CC company and have them return the charges?
You can but would it really be worth all that trouble if you know that this is most likely a scam?

Södra strengthens offer for softwood pulpwood and small-diameter timber
24 October 2017
Demand for softwood pulpwood is high. The strategic investments in Södra's mills have now led to higher fibre consumption. Södra is therefore raising the price of softwood pulpwood to SEK 320/m? sub. The price of the small-diameter and softwood block range will also be raised by SEK 25/m? sub.
"The high demand for both sawlogs and softwood/hardwood pulpwood is gratifying for forest owners. The price increases will create excellent conditions for increasing the level of thinning in members' forests," said Olof Hansson, Acting President of the Södra Skog business area.
Markets for sawn timber remain favourable, and therefore demand for pine and spruce logs. Södra has therefore decided to incorporate the existing contracting premium of SEK 25/m? sub into the basic price.
The new prices will apply for contracts signed as of 23 October.

When it comes to getting ready for the summer, there's one thing that all women have to do, and it's not very fun. We all have to pick out a brand new bathing suit.
If you're getting ready for a summer trip or a spring break jaunt to the coast, you'll want to find a bathing suit that flatters your body and makes you look great on the beach or at the side of the pool. These tips will help you!
- Get the Good Stuff
First, don't buy a cheaply made bathing suit. You'll want to save as much money as possible, and purchasing a bathing suit that is not made out of quality materials or one that is not properly put together will always make you look worse than you really do! With that being said, there's no need to spend hundreds of dollars on your suit.
- Thicker Material Is Better
In addition to purchasing a well-made suit, you'll want to find one that is made of thicker material. This will help you hide flaws better.
- Look for Ruching on the Bodice of the Suit
Ruching is a style of folding material. The folds created on bathing suits can also help hide bumps and extra baggage. It will make your tummy look super flat!
- Go for Prints
Solid colors may make you look bigger than you actually are. Try prints that are large and colorful to avert the eyes from trouble areas. You might also try polka dots, but stay away from stripes as these will only attract attention to your stomach.
- Try a Tankini on for Size
Tankinis are like bikinis, but the top is longer. It usually meets at your belly button, or it might cover up your entire stomach. For people who are nervous about their stomachs, this can be great.
As you go shopping for your bathing suit this year, try to keep all of these tips in mind, and this will help you pick out a suit that you feel good about.

If you love classic Italian horror then you will love the fantastic new give away from our film-loving fiends over at MovieTalk!
Arrow Video have just released Blu-ray & DVD premieres from the godfather of Italian horror, Mario Bava –1963's Black Sabbath, starring Boris Karloff and 1972's Baron Blood, starring Elke Sommer and Joseph Cotton.
These dual format releases include brand new restored versions of each film, a wealth of special features and bonus material, and exclusive reversible sleeves featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by the brilliant Graham Humphreys!
To enter this Creepy Competition follow this LINK to the MovieTalk website – and good luck!!
The Classic Horror Campaign has teamed up with British Fantasy Award-nominated publishers Spectral Press for our latest Creepy Competition. You could win an autographed copy of Stephen Volk's evocative new novella Whitstable which features Hammer Films' legendary star Peter Cushing as the hero in a unique mix of fact and fiction. All you need to do is answer a simple question and we will pick out one winner at random from the correct entries.
In which Hammer Horror film did Peter Cushing make his last appearance as Van Helsing?
Email your answer to us at email@example.com using the word "Whistable" as the subject heading. THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED! Our judges decision will be final so good luck everyone!
"Whitstable" by Stephen Volk
1971. A middle-aged man, wracked with grief, walks along the beach at Whitstable in Kent.
A boy approaches him and, taking him for the famous vampire-hunter Doctor Van Helsing from the Hammer movies, asks for his help. Because he believes his stepfather really is a vampire…
So begins the moving and evocative new novella by Stephen Volk, published by the British Fantasy Award-nominated Spectral Press in May 2013 to coincide with the centenary of the most celebrated and beloved of Hammer's stars, Peter Cushing.
In Whitstable—which deftly mixes fact with fiction—the actor, devastated after the recent death of his wife and soul mate Helen, is an inconsolable recluse. In that vulnerable state he is forced to face an evil far more real and terrifying than any of the make-believe monsters he tackled on the big screen. And here he is not a crusader or expert with crucifixes to hand—merely a man. A man who in some ways craves death himself, but cannot ignore the pleas of an innocent child…

Start having some greenery. If you have to garden space do gardening projects during weekends.
Save energy. You can get converted from electricity to solar energy panels. This will also save money.
Check whether all the rooms have proper ventilation and natural lighting. Excess lighting will hamper eyesight. Replace window screens with dark color where there is excess lighting.
Take up vacuum cleaning project during the weekend. Concentrate on areas prone to more dust. Clean up everything from cushions to window sills. You can replace doormats, bed sheets, screens etc., wash the old ones.
Kitchen cleaning can be taken up as a separate project as it is time-consuming to clean grease stains.
Once all the above ten points are noted and implemented during weekends, your old home will get a brand new look.

He is a lava gormiti. He has a shield and a hand made of fire. He has a small volcano for a head. Lavor appeared in most of the episodes in Gormiti: The Lord Of Nature Return and was also one of the four main antagonists. He only had one appearance in Gormiti: The Supreme Eclipse Era which was episode 1 where Magmion sent him and Cyclops to find the rot worm so he could release Obscurio. He appeares in Gormiti: The Neorganic Evolution as well. He is the most powerful member of the Lava Tribe and is the only member of the lava tribe the Magma tribe (especially Magmion) likes. Lavor is one powerful Lava Gormiti and nearly became The Lord Of The Volcano because of his appearance when Magor created him.

The Nature Wood Chopstick was created by Gyeongwan Koo (Oliver), and is designed to serve an eco-friendly purpose after you are done eating.
The Nature Wood Chopstick has a small, starch-covered tip concealing a tiny seed. After you are done eating, simply stick your used chopstick in the ground and a plant will begin to grow. The idea behind this design is to grow tons of new trees simply by sticking used chopsticks in the ground. That may sound overly ambitious, but it can be done considering there must be billions of pairs of disposable chopsticks used each year. If even a fraction of those chopsticks were planted it could mean millions of new trees. This design is eco-friendly and practical.

Author's note: The bad cable management most people are commenting on is actually just the CPU cooler cables that I couldn't find anything to do with. The area right next to the PSU is also pretty bad, but overall it's nowhere near as bad as most people seem to think it is. Just sayin'.
"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: look upon my works, ye mighty, and despair!" -Percy Shelley
Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by saying that the inevitable detractors and naysayers are right: This PC should not exist. I should have been content with a $2-3 grand build at the most. There, I said it, you win, now you don't have to comment it.
With that out of the way, a bit of exposition and some part choice breakdowns:
Exposition Bit:
This is, as of now, both the most powerful and the most expensive build ever completed on PC Part Picker. It was built to run games at 4K, at framerates that most people would expect at 1080p. And it delivers. Neither Crysis 3, Battlefield 4, nor Arma III can bring it down. The bleeding-edge visuals, combined with some of the best audio currently available (that will get even better once Schiit finally launches Yggdrasil -GRR-), make for a gaming experience almost impossible to rival. Contributing to this machine's absolute dominance are a watercooled CPU and quad-GPU graphics array, 32 GB of some of the fastest RAM this side of Avexir, 2.5 TB of internal storage, and an external summit-fi audio setup. I intend to start upgrades shortly after there becomes something to upgrade to.
Part Choices:
Intel Core i7 3960X Extreme Edition: At the time I acquired it, this was the most powerful CPU on the market. It's been passed up by the 4960X by now, but it remains a beast of a processor that's easily overclocked to over a gigahertz above it's nominal boost clock, and can handle anything I throw at it.
NZXT Kraken X40: Despite how into PC gaming I am, I have never actually set up my own custom-loop water cooling system. I considered it when planning what would eventually become this rig, but in the end I decided that one of the most expensive PCs on the internet wasn't the right setup to mess around with watercooling for the first time. The Kraken X40 was particularly great because it has a 140mm fan instead of a 120mm one, meaning that I didn't have to change cases to find one with a third 120mm fan mount when I got the 295s.
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme: I have used ASRock, Gigabyte, EVGA, Intel and other ASUS boards throughout my fantastical voyages through PC DIY, and this is hands-down the best one I've tried so far. Overclocking is hilariously easy, the graphical BIOS in particular is wonderful, and it has 4 full PCIe lanes and 8 memory slots to handle whatever I throw at it in the future. This will probably be the motherboard I use until I'm done with building PCs (not very likely) or I have to upgrade because of a new PCIe/LGA/SATA/DDR standard (much more likely).
G.Skill Ripjaws X 2400MHz: I do a lot of video editing, and so having a lot of RAM is incredibly useful. If this were just a gaming rig, I would have gone with only 8-16 GB. I chose this RAM in particular because of its fast clock rates and timings (that the rest of my PC can actually keep up with). It only gets 3 stars despite its mostly-fantastic performance because one module failed shortly after my warranty expired.
Samsung 840 EVO: This was actually the last thing I bought. I needed an SSD boot disk for faster startup and application launch speeds, and I had had great luck with the EVO line in my other computers so I decided to stick with it. So far it is functioning great.
WD Caviar Blacks: They're big, fast, reliable HDDs. Need I say more?
ASUS Radeon R9 295X2: In my opinion, the best gaming card currently on the market. Yes, I know about TITAN Z. 8 GB of VRAM on dual-channel 512-bit memory busses to handle whatever 4K can throw at them, 2 fully-unlocked Hawaii GPUs on each card at higher clock rates than the normal cards and closed-loop 120mm water cooling (so it's only dual-slot and really quiet!) all make these the obvious choice to me. I went with the ASUS variant because they're all identical so why not. I went with two of them because the benchmarks for one of them at 4K weren't fast enough.
NZXT Phantom 820: It's a big, spacious chassis with neat lighting, tons of mounting points for water-cooling blocks, and tons of room behind the motherboard tray for cable management. The integrated fan controller is great, and it all runs quiet enough on low fan settings that I can't hear it through open-back headphones.
Corsair AX1500i: I've always used Corsair PSUs ever since my last Seasonic shorted a few years back, and have never had any reasons to switch back. This is the only PSU they make that can power dual 295X2s, so there's that, but it's also fully modular (always nice).
LG DVD drive: I needed a DVD drive and it was the first one I saw at MicroCenter. That's really about it.
Windows 7 Professional: Windows 7 because I hate Windows 8 with a fiery, burning passion. Professional because it's the cheapest version that can use 32 GB of RAM (yes, I did just make a price argument in this build).
ASUS PQ321Q: When I bought these, they were the only consumer 4K monitors that could run at 60Hz that were on the market. When competing monitors came out for 1/3 the price less than 2 months later, I felt really, really stupid. That's all I'm going to say about these.
DasKeyboard Model S: I love DasKeyboard's stuff, but since others sometimes use my computer I can't get the one with the blank keycaps. Pity. If this thing ever wears out I'll probably switch to a Ducky keyboard just for some variety.
Logitech G500s: I like really, really heavy; really, really sensitive mice. This can be one of them, thanks to the variable weight and sensitivity settings. Need I say more?
Sennheiser HD 800/HDVD 800: I was an audiophile long before I was a gamer. My primary listening headphones are my LCD-3s, but since the Senns are currently the imaging champs of my headphone collection I use them for gaming. I gave the 800s themselves 4 stars because they're summit-fi and thus expensive as hell. I'd give the HDVD 800 a 3/5 because it has a mediocre DAC chip which isn't worth the asking price. Find me on Head-Fi if you want to talk more about these.
Sennheiser G4ME ONE: I admit, I'm more than a slight Senn fanboy, so I have a headset from them to compliment the 800s. It's got a really nice cable, the mic is one of the best I've ever had on a headset, and the headphones themselves are about on par with the HD 558s (my first real audiophile headphone) so I get nostalgic every time I listen with them. 5/5 would absolutely recommend.
Photos taken with a 20.4 Mpixel Sony Cyber-Shot. I'll open it up to get pictures of the internals once I have my DSLR back so the pictures don't turn out as awful as these did.
Not-Really-Bonus-Bit-That-Exists-So-People-Don't-Think-I'm-Uncultured: Yes, I am aware of the actual meaning of "Ozymandias" (the poem, not the computer or the Breaking Bad episode). I chose it because despite all the grandstanding I'm doing now, this rig will eventually get passed up in graphics power by vastly cheaper PCs (or, even worse, consoles cringe) and there is nothing I can do about it but upgrade to hold back the inevitable. Poetic, is it not?

Nice to meet you Lynda and wow you are seeing LLJ give her a big hug from Yoda and I. Yoda is tucked up in bed in the photo I have just added again, I don't know what happened to the last shot because it was there when I posted it. Thanks for letting me know. He is under the doona and I had to pull it back to find him.ReplyDelete
I so love those snowflakes it makes me giggle I have been playing with these same colors over the last few weeks with a snowflakes die and went on the hunt for some embossing powder to match the ink as they don't make a distress embossing powder in tumbled glass. I thought the photo of the cross eyed child was funny.
Have a great week and thanks again.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy WOYWW

"You have no idea how many people have control of your life. Make lists of people you trust and love and constantly examine the people in your life."
Whether you like it or not, you most likely act based off how you think others will perceive you for it. You base most of your actions with the mindset, "Will I be cool for it?" Or maybe you're worried about others talking about it. This was me to a T.
I come from a town that is consumed with this thought process. Don't get me wrong, I love that town and I want to live there after college. But a majority of the people base all of their actions solely on how others think of them, and there is this mindset that you can't do anything different, otherwise, you become an outcast. You'll become the joke of the party.
Living constantly worried about what others think straight up sucks, I don't know why I did it for so long. And to be honest with you, I was someone that was against anyone doing something different. I always found myself not wanting to be like this, but I continually caught myself judging someone for being different and happy.
There's two reasons I acted how I did.
1) I was jealous. Jealous that they were comfortable enough to do their own thing while I was stuck in a constant cycle of trying to impress everyone.
2) I was worried about what others would think of me if I supported something unconventional.
PEOPLE controlled every aspect of my life. People make others self-conscious. People have such an ability to have a negative impact on others lives.
People have just the same ability to influence you to take a big step in your life. People have the ability to support you and make you want to pursue your goals in life.
I never would have taken the step I did in pursuing fitness if it were not for my friends and family that supported me. I had a blog on blogspot for 3 months that I only posted on Facebook because I was scared of what my friends would think.
Having the few people that I had contact me and support me mean the world to me because my life would not be going the direction it would be if not for them. It never gets old having people tell me that I've helped them or inspired them.
I have the ability to put myself out there for the sole reason of people supporting me. Of course there are still other people that probably can't stand me, but I honestly could not care less anymore.
My life has done a 180 since I stopped caring about others opinions,be yourself. It'll be a MUCH happier life.
Listen to the voices that support you, not the voices that tear you down.
Take control of your own life.
Much Love

Well don't get pissed, it just so happens that my life isn't as interesting as you thought it was. Buuut because I made a New Term resolution about writing in my blog at least once a week I am going to jot down a few thoughts of my own, just a few random things about me an my thoughts. (This is apparently called proactive writing and I am a very proactive person :)
- Numero uno: you do not have the right to complain about the weather unless it is spring in Melbourne. I know, I know, there are those of you out there living in places where the sun doesn't come out for half the year, and I know that there are those of you who live somewhere where it reaches around 50 something degrees Celsius. But the thing is, if I asked you guys " is it hard? Don't get get so extremely cold? how come you don't have frost bite?/ Don't you get so extremely hot that you begin to sizzle!? Dehydrate? Well, you're most likely to say that you're used to it. But if you asked us "gee how can you stand Melbourne weather!?"... I can't exactly say that I am "used to it" because that's the thing! Melbourne weather is so inconsistent! The sun is that precious little gift that you receive on your birthday, only to have it stolen away by some school yard bully. And that bully is you Melbourne Weather! We just had 2 whole weeks of beautiful spring weather. Ahh don't you love the smell of spring air? Well anyway, today I chucked on a pair of shorts and went out to this...
Numero Due: It is a Hindu religious festival called navarathiry right now where we spend 9 days celebrating the diferent incarnations of lord Durga. YAY! I know that I'm supposed to me immersing myself in the religious teachings of this festival and being all holy and spiritual but all I can think about right now is the pot full of sweet rice pudding being boiled in the kitchen.
Numero quattro: I have a maths test tomorrow on graphs, polynomials and logarithm. We were allowed a sneak peak on Friday and since then I haven't been getting much sleep. Not because I've been up studying, but because I've been up worrying about how I should be studying but really not.
Numero Cinque: I ate too much today. My stomach is exploding( it always is). So.much.good.food! The thing is, I love food so much, that I want the experience of tasting food in my mouth to last as long as possible. But unlike normal people where I savour every bite and eat really slowly, I end up stuffing my face and taking more. I will repeat again So.much.good.food.
AAAND that's all my friends. Tata bye :)

Drew Barrymore Launches Lifestyle Brand
Drew Barrymore is expanding her lifestyle offerings with a new fashion brand.
The actress already helms popular cosmetics line Flower Beauty, but now she's getting ready to add fashion to her resume with Dear Drew, an apparel and accessories label which launched on Amazon Fashion on Tuesday (24Oct17).
"We're delighted to be teaming up with Drew Barrymore to debut her new brand on Amazon Fashion," said Amazon Fashion director Kate Dimmock, going on to praise the star's "impressive career and creative energy" and "free-spirited style."
Dear Drew is described as a "love letter" to women around the world, and is made up of apparel, handbags, jewelry, luggage, hair tools, lingerie and loungewear. Prices range from $28 to $248.
The Charlie's Angels star poses in the first imagery for Dear Drew, sporting a black T-shirt, red skirt and matching red clutch bag, with the slogan You Are Strong boldly written across it.
Drew is the latest actress to try her hand at lifestyle gear, following in the footsteps of Reese Witherspoon, who founded Draper James, The Honest Company's Jessica Alba, and Gwyneth Paltrow, who started the trend with her Goop website.
The 42-year-old proved her commitment to cosmetics earlier this year when Flower Beauty launched an e-commerce site, expanding its reach further than just the U.S., where the products are sold at Walmart. Drew also previously announced plans to add more shades to the line, in order to make it more inclusive.

(This post contains affiliate links. I will never recommend a product that I do not personally use and love.)
This is my honest opinion and review on the Baby Brezza Formula Pro.
My twins were born at 33 weeks and had to spend 2 weeks in the NICU before coming home. While they were in the hospital, I was unable to breastfeed them. I pumped as much as I could, but I had a hard time keeping up with the demands of two babies. By the time they came home from the hospital, I was supplementing formula because I was unable to produce enough milk. After six weeks, I made the difficult decision to stop breastfeeding.
The babies were on a feeding schedule of every 3 hours. I was making a minimum of 16 bottles of formula a day. During the day, making bottles was easy, but the nighttime feedings were hard.
My friend told me about the Baby Brezza and I loved the idea of it being so easy and convenient. I started researching the Baby Brezza and saw many reviews on it. It seemed like half of the people loved the product and couldn't live without it, and the other half hated it. The Baby Brezza is not cheap and I did not like the idea of spending a couple hundred dollars on one product, but it was something I would use every day so I decided to give it a try.
After the initial shock of paying for the Baby Brezza, I was so excited to try it out. I set it up as soon as I got home. It allows you to make 2,4,6,8, or 10oz bottles of formula within seconds. It mixes the formula for you and dispenses the formula at the perfect temperature. I bought the product from Amazon and you can find the Baby Brezza here.
After making my first bottle, I started worrying about if it was dispensing the correct amount of formula powder or water. I wanted to make sure my babies were still getting the perfectly mixed bottles. To make sure it was dispensing correctly. I decided to make an 6oz bottle using the Baby Brezza and another one by hand. I put them both on the scale and compared them. The weight of both bottles was the same. It made me feel more confident about the product. I believe all bottles will work with this product, but I use these bottles.
The Pros: It makes the perfect bottle quickly and is easy to operate. There are several settings for the different types of formula out there. For instance, I use the Kirkland Non-GMO formula and it requires it to be on setting 7. This is how it creates the perfect bottle based on the formula brand and type.
The Cons: This product does mess up sometimes and gives me a 4oz bottle when I set it for a 6oz. If I turn off the machine for a minute or two and turn it back on, it works correctly again. It only happens about once every two weeks or so. To me, this is a minor problem that does not change my mind on how much I love the product.
In the reviews I read, some people did not like how often you had to clean the product. I take apart the Baby Brezza once a week (every Sunday) to clean and sanitize it. It doesn't take long to clean (about 15 mins) and I like the piece of mind of having it clean for the week ahead. The instructions only calls for it to be cleaned monthly. There is a cleaning funnel light that will blink red after every 4 bottles made. You take out the funnel, wipe it clean of any formula left over, and pop it back in. Takes me less than 30 seconds.
I recommend this product to anyone that uses formula on a daily basis. This product is so easy and convenient to use. This is my favorite item that I bought for the twins this year.
Have you tried the Baby Brezza before? I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
