Power surges during heatwave conditions are damaging expensive printing equipment of PIAA member companies in another symptom of a dysfunctional power supply system, according to Andrew Macaulay, CEO (pictured), who blames high energy prices for the fall of RemaPak.
High-profile power crusader Macaulay is continuing to press for Government action as part of his long-running campaign to keep energy prices for printers on the agenda. He points to the slide into administration of RemaPak, the Sydney-based packaging company, as a symptom of high-priced energy.
“It’s ludicrous that Australia, one of the largest exporters of gas in the world cannot maintain supply to local industry at reasonable prices. Suppliers are talking about importing liquid natural gas to meet the shortfall, even as we ramp up export volumes from Queensland,” he said.
Macaulay points to comments by Rod Sims, chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, that manufacturers relying on gas will certainly go under at current prices. Sims maintains there is currently a drastic energy shortage in Australia.
“All this feeds through to the higher power prices our members are paying as well as the disruptions to supply due to load shedding on hot days. Members are telling me that power surges are blowing up capital-intensive printing equipment as the network struggles to keep up,” he said.
The latest calls for action reflect a long-running strategy for the Association. According to Macaulay, PIAA members drove the early stages of the national energy policy debate.
“This is now seeing our Federal and State Governments start to take action to focus on the energy consumer’s need for reliable and less costly delivery. PIAA will continue to prosecute this argument.
“We have stepped up and negotiated a service on energy efficiency. This programme will offer members services in reducing their energy consumption, and is forecast to deliver significant saving to participants. The service has just commenced to roll out. It will be offered to all Sustainable Green Print accredited members," he said.

I created event registration web sites (you can imagine something like http://www.eventbrite.com/), which allow users to subscribe for event updates. When subscribed, we send mass emails (with the same content) to those users.
It was ok before, but recently I noticed that GMail always put the email into Spam folder. As any texts would always go to Spam folder, I suspect that my domain was blacklisted by Gmail.
1) Is there a way to request google to put my domain into the whitelist?
Yes, don't send mass email :-) If you really want to avoid being considered a spammer, send out emails with less recipients, and don't swamp the mail server with them. Let's say, for example, you have thirty recipients for a given update. You can send out emails with one recipient every minute for a half hour.
Now the numbers may be different (and will of course depend on the success of your site) but the basic theory will stand up for quite a while.
As to how to get yourself whitelisted in GMail, that's really up to the recipient. They can usually do it by simply adding your email address to their contact list.
Keep in mind whitelisting there refers to individual GMail accounts, GMail itself does not whitelist IP addresses.
It does blacklist them if you misbehave but that generally means you get delivery rejects when trying to send. The fact that your messages are going in to the mail system and being delivered to spam folders indicates that this is an account-based thing, not a global GMail blacklisting of your IP/domain.
In any case, the place to report problems for GMail delivery problems is here.
As a school, we send out mass emails to our parents about events and issues. There's no way we have the time to spend sending out one email per minute. What we did was sign up with AOL as a business account, and we are allowed to do "bulk mailings" until they get multiple complaints. However, gmail clients usually have to list us as a valid sender or else those emails end up in spam folders. Works the same for clients using college alumni accounts from edu addresses. Gmail is the only one who regularly gives us this problem for our recipients on their email servers. We let parents know at orientation that they will have to specifically admit our emails via some setting on gmail.

In the mood to make some music or to write a song to declare your love but you know nuts about music theory?
Don't worry, here is an easy way to start making some music.
This is my first ever video guide on Candy Crush. I have not done any video guides so far as I do not find them particularly useful for players who are stuck on a level. This is because the layout of candies at the start each time is never the same even for the same level. So how useful is a video guide other than for the creator to maybe show off his Candy Crush score?
Candy Crush Video Guide with a Difference!
For this Flickrshare's video guide to Candy Crush Level 477 and future video guides (if any), I have added some tips as the video plays. These tips are meant to be applicable and useful in any situation for the same level, so it is important for the viewer to turn on Annotation when watching this video, otherwise you will miss the important tips!
Although, in this video, it is not a 3 star game but I am certain that it will be more helpful to you than any of the 3 stars Candy Crush videos out there!
Without further ado, please enjoy my first ever video guide and please leave some comments to help me improve!

A new episode is now available on the desktop version of Candy Crush.
The newest update to Candy Crush mobile version brings the highest level to 425. Get introduced to the Toffee Tornado blocker, if you have not met them yet.
Level 463 - The most ridiculous level on Candy Crush, yet!
If you have thought that tornadoes were causing ridiculous difficulty on Candy Crush, wait till you try Level 463.
Flickrshare hereby declares Level 463 as the most difficult level so far!
Firstly, there are way too many jellies to clear for a paltry 15 moves, yes you read it right, 15 moves!
Secondly there are mysterious candies that create more jellies when matched!
The only thing you can do is to match combos.
Most effective in this round is the wrapped and stripped combo. You will get plenty of these two candies in this level, however, to lay them nicely next to each other is difficult because the cascading candies may blow up your wrapped candies before your move.
Second most effective which is harder to get is a stripped and rainbow candy combo.
If you are lucky enough, a wrapped and wrapped combo is also useful. But I think its hard to get them in this level.
So far, I see the only method to clear this level is by utter destruction and HOPE FOR THE BEST!
There are plenty of fishes around but they are not effective because they don't really do much to clear the important jellies which are unreachable.
That's right, this level is mainly luck based.
The latest update to mobile version of Candy Crush Saga now takes you to Level 410!
Hurry and download the latest update!
Latest Candy Crush Saga update to Level 470 on desktop version now.
Get your level passes from your friends!
I have used Sony nex-5 camera before and it takes wonderful photos. If you do not wish to carry the bulky DSLR on your trips, the Sony Nex series of cameras offer DSLR quality images in a lightweight and compact camera. This is because the Nex series uses a large image sensor almost similar to the entry levels DSLR and much larger compared to other higher end compact cameras (e.g. Canon S110) that are almost similar in price. In these days, size of image sensors are what it matters in producing quality images, it is no longer the megapixel count. If you want superior images, size of image sensors are what you should be considering instead of megapixel count.
Plus you have the option of changing lens on the Sony Nex camera like a DSLR, except that the lens are somewhat pricey and proprietary to the Sony Nex system only.
For this low price of $650 now, it comes with a 16-50mm lens which is sufficient to cover most of the angles you would be taking on a holiday trip, i.e. good for close ups portraits of people/animals/plants/interesting objects (50mm), near distance group photos as well as wide angled scenery (16mm).
If you are going for image quality without breaking your bank, this is a good camera to invest in. I am still using mine which was the first generation of Nex-5.
Prioritize your moves to clear the cupcake tiles in the middle column and the bottom & sides first.
Clearing the cupcake tiles early means more candies on board for you to make your moves, giving you more options. The other jelly tiles can be secondary as the cascading candies can help you to clear some, if not all of them.
Stripped candies can also be helpful to help you clear the cupcake and jelly tiles, so use them where it makes the most useful impact. Even more useful are combos of stripped and wrapped candies. Use these combo to clear massive amount of jellies!

461 Ocean Boulevard is a 1974 album by blues rock musician Eric Clapton. In creating his first album after quitting heroin and his second after the dissolution of Derek & the Dominos, Clapton was under pressure during the recording of 461 Ocean Boulevard, but the album received rave reviews upon its release.
On later pressings of the album and the Polygram CD, “Give Me Strength” was pulled because a songwriter claimed she was the composer and had not been credited (Clapton was originally listed as composer). It was replaced with the track “Better Make It Through Today”, (dropped from the re-release) which was recorded in September 1974 and originally released on the “There’s One in Every Crowd” album in April 1975.
In 2004 a remastered two-disc “deluxe edition” of 461 Ocean Boulevard was released. The second disc included in the packaging features a live concert which was recorded at the HMV Hammersmith Apollo (formerly the Hammersmith Odeon). The first disc also has a few new added tracks which are various studio jam sessions.
The title of the album is the address of a house on Golden Beach in Miami where Clapton was living in at the time. The house is also the one featured on the cover. In 2003, the album was ranked number 409 on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

text: This paper describes two phases of a non-stop tolling system. Since April 1991, BRISA has been operating 12 nonstop tolling lanes installed in 4 main toll plazas around Lisbon, using "read only" tags. Forty percent of the total traffic uses these automatic lanes. This was phase one--an "open" toll system. The second phase of the project, to be implemented by September 1996, required more advanced technology. It consists of the extension of the nonstop tolling system to the whole Portuguese highway toll network, with a present total length of 500 km increasing to 780 km in 1997. All toll plazas have automatic tolling lanes. Tags are "read/write" and the frequency is the European standard--5.8 GHz. All automatic exit lanes have no barriers and are equipped with video enforcement. Within this nonstop tolling "closed" system, vehicles are identified at the entry lanes and information stored in the tag are read by the exit antenna transmitting them in real time to several plaza computers, connected to a central computer. The number of subscribers is now 140,000 and the target is 350,000 by the end of the year. Toll taxes are automatically charged on the client's bank account.

Atlantic – Tampa Bay Lightning: Steven Stamkos is back; Nikita Kucherov is the young superstar nobody recognizes but will after this season; Victor Hedman will win the Norris and Andrei Vasilevskiy will win the Vezina. The Lightning are back!
Metropolitan – Columbus Blue Jackets: John Torterella finally got the respect he deserves – despite his hot-tempered shortcomings – and the cannon at Nationwide Arena reached new decibels last season (especially against the Canadiens on November 4, 2016). They’ll be rocking almost as loud as the Horseshoe this season, as the BJ’s take the division title and win their first playoff round in team history.
Central – Dallas Stars: It’s a Psycho redux Ken Hitchcock style in the Big D, as the coach who led this franchise to their lone Stanley Cup in 1999 is back for what may very well be his last chance to win another. The Stars are all in with some great offseason additions like Alex Radulov and Ben Bishop. With a core of skill already in place in pillars Jamie Benn and Tyler Seguin, this team is poised to go far as long as their improved but still questionable defense holds up. This scribe thinks it will as you’ll see below.
Pacific – Anaheim Ducks: Here’s the scary thing about the Ducks: After a subpar year by their standards: They have a pissed off veteran core led by Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry. These are two dudes you don’t want pissed off if you’re facing them on the ice. But what’s even scarier about this current flock in Anaheim is their blue line, which isn’t only the best this season, but could be for many years to come. Think about this! They exposed Shea Theodore in the expansion draft. Theodore could be a No.1 d-man on a quarter of the teams in the NHL! Throw in Josh Gibson between the pipes and you got not only a division winner but a Cup contender.
Atlantic Division – Tampa Bay Lightning, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens: Leafs and Habs battle for second with the upstart Leafs grabbing the slot.
Metropolitan Division – Columbus Blue Jackets, Pittsburgh Penguins, New York Rangers: After a sluggish first half thanks to two straight Cup hangovers, the Penguins get back to normal but don’t catch the fast out of the gate Blue Jackets. Meanwhile, ‘The King’ Henrik Lundqvist isn’t done on Broadway just yet.
East Wild Cards – Carolina Hurricanes (1st WC) and Boston Bruins (2nd WC): The Canes’ playoff drought ends as they have a new (Scott) Darling between the pipes and their young D corps realizes their potential sooner than expected. The Bruins amass more points but so does a plethora of other teams and they land in eighth seed again.
Central Division – Dallas Stars, Winnipeg Jets, Nashville Predators: Already told you the Stars will be shining in Dallas, but the Jets will finally take off with their young talent and win a playoff round. The Preds recover from a slow start and injuries and compete for the Cup again as well.
Pacific Division – Anaheim Ducks, Edmonton Oilers, Calgary Flames: Boudreau has the flock flying together again; Oilers take it one step further and the Peter Pan of hockey, Jaromir Jagr’s magic wears off on the young Flames.
West Wild Cards – Minnesota Wild (1st WC) and San Jose Sharks (2nd WC): The Wild are literally a wild card team this year in the sense that so many things must fall into place for them. If they all do, they could challenge for their division and the cup, but they never seem to do lately in the State Of Hockey. Lots of people already writing the obituary for the Joe Thornton era in San Jose again. The dynamic duo of Thornton-Patrick Marleau may be no longer and Jumbo Joe may retire next summer but while that era is all but gone, their is some underrated youth with experience on the Sharks and they can still be hunters and not hunted in the West.
West – Dallas Stars over Anaheim Ducks: Lots of colleagues have the Oilers taking the next step and playing for the conference title, even winning it and winning the Stanley Cup. Not just yet. The Stars continue their success after a division title and somehow crack that deep Ducks blue line to advance to the Stanley Cup for the first time since their new/old coach had them there in 2000.
East – Pittsburgh Penguins over Tampa Bay Lightning: The Lightning also carry their regular season success through to the conference final, but unfortunately they face Sidney Crosby and the Pens who are hellbent on a three-peat.
Dallas Stars: The Stars spoil Sid and the Penguins’ bid at a three-peat and send Ken Hitchcock into the sunset as a champion as he decides to retire on top with his second ring. Ben Bishop is finally the answer between the pipes and wins the Conn Smythe he almost had in 2015 and Tyler Seguin wins his second cup but this time as a more mature player and well-rounded player.
In honor of my Stanley Cup pick and the late Tom Petty, here’s a brilliant Petty show in Dallas! RIP Tom and thanks for the music!

If you want to erase the record of where you've been on the internet, you need to clear out the entire history. Here's a few tips on how to delete the cache in Internet Explorer.
Step one to cleaning your surfing history is to delete Internet Explorer's temporary files. This is simple to do from within Internet Explorer. Click "Tools" and "Internet Options". On the General tab, click "Delete Files". Then click "Clear History" just below that. Done, right? Wrong.
Internet Explorer keeps index files that help IE find pages you've surfed. These index files can communicate every website you've visited and every image that's been displayed. To completely clean your browser history in Internet Explorer, you need to delete these index files, too.
Index.dat files aren't only hidden, they're system files. Even if you select to show hidden files in your folder options, they remain unseen. To track down index.dat files, you need to know where to look.
In WinXP, here's where you'll usually find them.
Here's how you go about deleting them.
2.Log on as administrator. Enter your password (if needed).
3.Once you reach the command prompt, type "CD\" (no quotes) and hit Enter to get to your root directory. The prompt should look something like C:>.
4.Type "del index.dat /s" (without the quotes) and hit Enter to erase all files named index.dat on your computer.
5.Type "shutdown -r" (no quotes) to restart your computer normally.
Your index.dat files will be recreated when your computer reboots, but they will be completely blank. Repeat as needed.
Thank you for your reply. Is there any command which cleans the entire cache?
The above procedure is again a manual one.

2019 Ford F-250 Redesign – There is a big exhilaration regarding upcoming 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty. Ford is selecting of Super Task automobiles for almost Twenty Years. The F series of Super Obligation designs are the most effective selling American vehicles for the time being. It is all-natural that the Ford continues with this style language. And also here it is.
The Ford F-250 Super Obligation is nearly ready to hit the truck market. It is having a couple of changes compared with the previous year design. The framework is constructed from contemporary aluminum and also the interior is made from more softer products. Now the cabin looks much more luxurious and luxurious. The manufacturer plan is to create extra efficient vehicle as well as more effective as well.
Yet, the brand-new Ford F-250 is mosting likely to boost its efficiency. Exactly how? By developing a new transmission. This is the most likely end result for the 10-speed transmission. Its launching on the super-duty truck is practically particular, as well as we just need a verification from the firm to be official. Other changes consist of a take another look at of front fascia as well as interior. Although this is a working mule, it could look pretty as well as aggressive. Also, the interior is comfortable, and customers will certainly be able to pick in between few trim degrees and taxi configurations.
There is nothing stunning in the layout of the 2019 Ford F-250. This is a working vehicle, and also every little thing is made to boost efficiency. Emphasize could be 17-inch wheels. Nonetheless, vehicle looks powerful and bold. Options that are offered for buyers many. First off, they must choose between trim level. Base versions are XL trucks. Mid-range pickups are XLT and also Lariat. King Ranch is premium level, but the top of the class is the Platinum design. Furthermore, there are different cab configurations for some trims. Our company believe Ford will certainly maintain normal, expand, and also crew taxicab in the offer. Ultimately, there are two types of bed. Sizes are 6.75-foot and 8-foot.
Ford is attempting to bring brand-new points to every brand-new version they make, the same instance is with 2019 Ford-F250.
The main body solar panels are made to generate longer resilience. In order to include a larger gas storage tank, Ford made their 2019 F-250 Super Obligation from more light-weight products. The overall weight of this truck will certainly stay about the exact same pleasantly.
Front bumper is made from chrome as well as the truck has a new significant chrome trim piece on the tailgate. Huge “Super Task” emblem is put on the hood, over the front grille. Grille layout is made with a distinct three-bar design. Every horizontal bar is really made of smaller sized bars which give F-150 a different look. Moreover, LED fronts lights as well as haze lights continue to be the exact same, yet the list of upgrades ain’t over.
The dashboard is covered with fine, soft touch materials. Furnishings is “mesa brown” natural leather kind, that makes the cabin deluxe and elegant. Guest space is, believe it or not, even more, boosted. The breathtaking glass roof covering is included, 360-degree cam system and also Pro Trailer back-up assist also. In addition to that, 2019 Ford F-250 Super Obligation is coming with a lane-keeping help as well as power-deployable running boards.

Ford Super Obligation Engine is truly, guaranteeing to obtain properly, supplied making usage of the, outright finest serps quality including, distinctive as it is really, advertised from the company precisely, how the Ford Super Task, includes an absolutely rate execution.

While using, of finest serps layout, yet at the end of the day we’re capable, to perceive the consistency, included from the group, to make a parts, of Really Job serps trademark. It isn’t impressive which their, profession could make a treatment, worrying enhancing this performance, concerning solid pick-ups, layout inside a very same estimation.
Of an assortment, of confided in sources, it is possible that, 2019 Ford F-250 will positively, not transform the motor choices in the here and now, screen yet overhaul and also, also re-design them, with a details end goal to update, their implementation.

The release date is yet unknown but the actual end of 2018 is one of the most realistic time.

In response to tremendous interest from the Canadian event industry, we’re thrilled to announce the relaunch of our Canadian affiliate, Event Safety Alliance Canada. Spearheaded by longtime ESA Delegate and Canadian Event Safety Co-Founder Janet Sellery (Sellery Health and Safety), ESA Canada will vigorously promote ESA’s mission while addressing the unique needs of the Canadian marketplace.
Staging company executives are good at calculating the TCO (total cost of ownership) of the latest new projector or other piece of gear they’re thinking of adding to their arsenal of equipment. But do they follow the same due diligence when it comes to risk assessment and protection strategies as they do when shopping for a new 40K lumens projector? Even in a healthy market, staging companies can only be profitable when they properly manage the risks on the business/operations side. Shifting industry dynamics, high-profile accidents with industry-wide repercussions, the increasing number of outdoor events, and escalating safety-related liability exposure have all changed the business landscape.
A staging company can only prepare for every contingency if it is up to speed with the latest best practices for risk reduction. These best practices include: examining the cost of not doing the right kind of risk assessment; moving insurance costs from an operating expense line item to a strategic expense; determining the right formula for insurance costs as a percentage of total costs; properly evaluating RFQs when choosing among competing quotes for insurance coverage; and partnering with the right kind of insurance provider.
The next two installments of the ESA’s Crowd Safety Symposium (Las Vegas and San Francisco) are just over a week away. If your work involves crowds you don’t want to miss these workshops. We don’t know when the next round of classes will be, so if you’re thinking of attending you’ll want to sign up now.

It was incredible to be back and to spend a few days with the women of Cosmos in Tuscany photographing some incredible European talent like Fluida Designs, A la Robe, Naturae Designs, Daphne Newman Designs, Luna Bea Bridal and Puscina Flowers along side Lelia Scarfiotti. I cannot wait to go back next year.

THIS is what happened when time was on my side. I had close to 15 hours inside our Virgin Australia flight back to Los Angeles to reflect on our trip. This entry is all about my favorite part of blogging. It’s my takeaways. I get to jot down my thoughts, things I learned, things I want to remember from this entire trip. It’s now Saturday, three days have now passed since we arrived back in Los Angeles, and I just now got the chance to get it ready for publishing. So here goes.
We came back to our hotel around 10pm last night. We stopped by Coles and Woolworths, local supermarkets here in Oz. We bought a few candies and chocolates for us to bring home to our family.
During our flight to Oz from LAX, we brought two carry-on luggage that we ended up checking in because of their weight. Virgin Australia allows two checked luggage per passenger at 50 lbs each luggage. We only had 1 checked luggage for me and another one for Nancy. The thought of buying candies or chocolates, along with the souvenirs that were given to us by Ria, and the souvenirs we bought ourselves, we just knew that we would be needing another luggage or bag.
Exactly a year ago, this same dilemma happened to us. On our way back home from Prague, we had to find another luggage or bag just so we could bring home the goodies we purchased. Fortunately, there was a sturdy luggage that we found on sale for $20.
This time around in Oz, I dreaded the idea of looking for the same type of deal, and then it occurred to me. Of all places, I thought about this while we shopped for the heavy candies and chocolates at Coles. We could get a BOX. We could fill up the box with the heavy things we’ve purchased. Oh and I wasn’t thinking of buying a box. Instead, I went to the customer service manager and asked for a box or boxes. At first, the manager was hesitant and gave me all these reasons that they don’t hold on to boxes yada-yada-yada. Then I said, “well, what about the 2 empty boxes behind you?” His eyes grew big. He was surprised that he had empty boxes behind him. He didn’t argue, instead he handed the boxes to me.
So there’s my new takeaway. If ever we find ourselves in a jam where we have to bring home more things from a trip, I will no longer spend time looking for a luggage. I will find boxes instead.
Once we got back home from the store, we decided to just go to bed and wake up early. Our goal was to leave the hotel by 8am. Our flight was scheduled to leave 11:50am.
I set the alarm to wake me up at 5am. I wanted to run in the morning, a quick run. After all, how many times will I get to say that I ran and got distracted with viewing the Sydney Opera House and Harbour Bridge? So I ran. I knew I’d get distracted….but I ran anyway. It was a brisk early morning, probably in the low 50’s. I was able to witness the sun rise right behind the opera house. It was a beauty to watch the sun try to peek through the house. Here’s a quick video of what I saw.
There were a few people taking pictures with the use of a tripod. There were also a few of us who were running, and stopped to admire the view. I’m glad I got to watch this morning’s sunrise.
After my short run, I ran back to the hotel. Nancy was already showered and got started with packing our boxes. We ended up using both boxes. The front desk also gave us a packing tape so we were set. The morning went by quickly and it was time to go.
I’ve been a fan of Uber for as long as I can remember. It is especially a great deal when there is more than one in your party. Although there is a train that takes you directly to the airport, the fare per person = $19. So for both of us $38. But it also means that we will need to walk to the Circular Quay Stations (about a 10 minute walk…which is not bad). However, we had to factor in that we had two luggage and two boxes. So walking, while doable, would be a bit difficult.
Uber quoted me between $32-$42. We took that option instead. There was no walk to the station, Instead, Uber picked us up right in front our hotel. It was a bit traffic getting out of the city, but we made it in good time at Sydney International Airport.
We allowed ourselves three hours before our flight to get us through the airport circus. Upon arriving at SYD, we snaked through a Disneyland-style line for about an hour. There were a lot of travelers who flew Virgin Australia. Once we handed our boxes and luggage with the agent, we had to fill out immigration forms which took another few minutes. Then we had to surrender those forms with the Australian Border Force, pictures were taken, and we were taken to another line for a careful scrutiny of our documents, and thankfully, no other questions asked.
Done, right? Nope. We then went through security, another half hour or so was spent. I thought my family was known for bring way too much on board. There were these travelers in front of us who had 4-5 hand carry items (2 purses, a backpack, a travel bag, a shopping bag). I didn’t know what to say. I’m just glad it wasn’t us.
After going through security, we were finally free. It was around 10:10am by then.
Express cards. I knew I carried one of the approved cards, my American Express Platinum Card.
This card also allowed me to bring in up to 2 guests with no extra charge. The lounge was located close to Gate 24, while our Virgin America flight was leaving out of Gate 53. So we had to make a quick visit.
My impression about this lounge? It was tiny, compact, unlike the Korean Air Lounge at LAX which was massive. However, American Express had their attention to details down to the T. They served a full hot breakfast with chicken sausage, pancakes, waffles, scrambled eggs, baked beans….lots of muffins and pastries, cheeses, fruits, cereals, cookies, a coffee bar…..it was all made available in this tiny little lounge. It was just right for us to have had our late breakfast. With all the packing we did this morning, we didn’t get a chance to eat breakfast at all. Thank you, American Express.
I’ll stop right here. I’ve got my Part Two already drafted and will be published soon. Thanks for following our journey.

Can you see global swirls on shared mob and get no loot?
Thread: Can you see global swirls on shared mob and get no loot?
I did know that healing others that are killing shared mobs can result in loot for you because you have an indirect contribution on the peds spent to kill the mob. And in some way it makes sense as the current loot 2.0 rules.
Happened to me 3-4 months ago on Ark, was running near one of those huge event mobs and killed by it (unarmored), a hour later a mob with same name hoffed for 4 digits while I was standing at auction and I had the swirlies. No loot obviously.
Now this is even more weird situation since you weren't using any armor, in my case I was using unplated gnome (little decay but still) and mob hitted me 50's or so damage once. Not using armor means that you didn't have any contribution at all on peds spent to take the mob down and it should never make you have the swirls for the glob/hof.
Thanks for sharing your story Svarog. Guess we will need to live with it for now, doesn't make any sense but EU is dynamic in many ways it seems.

Playing a Hiking-Themed Game of "Would You Rather...?"
Sometimes things go as planned. Sometimes, not so much!
When it comes to outdoor adventure, we don't always get to choose how some scenarios we encounter play out. But during a recent #trailtime Twitter chat I co-hosted with Sierra Trading Post, that's exactly what we did.
"Would you rather?" is a game I remember playing growing up. My friends and I would throw out questions like, "Would you rather eat a worm or a caterpillar? Would you rather find a dead rat in your closet or in your shower?" Silly, harmless questions. Turns out, it's a pretty fun game to play when you relate all of your questions to outdoor adventure!
As a Twitter chat co-host, I don't often get to answer all of the questions, and if I do, I only have 140 characters to do it in. So I'm taking the opportunity to think harder about some of the scenarios we Twitter-chatted about, explain what I'd rather in each scenario, and I'd love to hear if you agree or disagree with my choices!
Would you rather hike less than five miles with over 2,000' of elevation gain or 10+ miles with no elevation gain?
In this case, and in most cases, I'll take shorter hikes with elevation gain. Typically, if you're climbing, you'll end up with a view at the end of the hike, and once you're at the top, you get to go back down! I always feel accomplished when I've climbed something hard enough that my legs burn. One of my favorite Philly-area hikes, Mount Tammany, gains over 1,200' in less than two miles, and I often choose it over another favorite, Sunfish Pond, which gains around 1,000' in 8-10 miles, depending on the loop.
Would you rather post-hole for half of a hike or wear snowshoes on a trail with spotty snow cover?
Spotty snow cover in snowshoes is no fun, but I'll take that any day over post-holing. On an early spring trip to the Adirondacks several years ago, my group and I post-holed all the way down 5,344′ Mount Marcy while battling severe rain and wind, and it was one of the most miserable, ye memorable experiences of my hiking life. I was wet, cold, and the descent took us twice as long as it should have. Snowshoes may have helped us on that trip!
Hiking in this kind of weather is pretty much terrible. Post holing is no fun!
Would you rather encounter a bear at a “safe” distance or a bull moose at a “questionable” distance?
While living and working outside Denali National Park after college, I used a few easily accessible day hikes to keep my fitness up. I became familiar enough with one of them, climbing Mount Healy from near the Murie Science and Learning Center, that I'd opt to run down once I reached the top. One one of those runs down, I came around the corner and nearly ran right into a moose. I was lucky; I backed away slowly and the moose continued on her way, stomping through the underbrush.
Moose are huge, and dangerous, especially during rutting and calving seasons. I'll take a bear from a safe distance over a questionably close moose.
Would you rather have to slow your pace significantly for hiking buddies or work hard to keep up?
If slowing down means forefeiting a goal I'd set for the day, or not making it to camp in time, or puts my group in danger, I'd absolutely rather have to work to keep up. But generally, as part of pre-trip planning, I make ever effort to avoid any of that happening! So if it means my hiking buddies and I have a good time if I slow down, I'll absolutely do it.
Working hard to keep up can mean you're getting a better workout in on a given day, but it also might mean you're missing enjoying the scenery; not all hikes need to be challenging workouts! And I've been in situations where a hiking buddy left me behind to tag a summit, then came back for me. It was humiliating, and I wouldn't want to put myself through that again. This is one of the questions I copped out on during the chat because really, it depends!
Would you rather have to deal with a downpour or extreme wind on a hike?
Neither option is particularly pleasant, but in general, I'd pick rain over wind. If I know it's going to rain while I'm out, I can bring a waterproof jacket, a pack cover, rain pants, waterproof boots, and more. But wind is just plain annoying, especially if you're in terrain with a good bit of dust, dirt, even snow.
This was the wettest I've ever been on a hike. But at least it was warm and there wasn't any wind!
Would you rather forget to pack snacks or forget to pack your camera?
There's no contest and no "it depends" on this one for me - I'd absolutely rather forget my camera than to forget food. It doesn't matter how long the hike is, where I'm going, or what the terrain looks like; if I forget food, I'm likely going back to get it! Supposedly, humans can survive three weeks without food, but when I'm out on the trail, I feel more like I'd last about three hours. The memories I'll have will always be there; I'll forgo the camera if I get to eat.
Would you rather cross water by hopping rock to rock or by balancing on a log?
I've done both numerous times, and I've ended up in the water numerous times, but if I have a choice between rock hopping and walking across a log, I'll take rock hopping. Logs can be slippery, and if I've got a pack on, balancing can be a significant challenge. When I'm rock hopping, pausing in between hops to collect myself makes a big difference. So assuming the rocks are big enough and appropriately spaced, I'll skip the log crossings.
Log crossings look cool, but I always feel as though I'm seconds away from eating it!
Would you rather reach an alpine lake or a scenic vista at the end of your hike?
Living on the east coast, specifically in Pennsylvania, alpine lakes are tough to come by. So if I had to choose between a sweeping landscape view and an alpine lake, I'd take the lake. A number of folks on our Twitter chat pointed out that "alpine lake" can be synonymous with "scenic vista," and if that means I don't have to choose, I'm all for it!
What do you think, if you had to choose in each of these scenarios, would we agree? I'd love to hear from you!

Stressful even is one of the common reasons of migraine for many migraine suffers. Actually, it is rather difficult to control stress. Hence, you can find out some relaxation techniques like yoga, listening to music, walking, breathing, or biofeedback to decrease levels of stress.
Tyramine is one of the substances that can leads to head pain. That is why you should limit all the foods that contain tyramine or nitrites. These foods including eggplants, potatoes, sausage, bacon, ham, aged cheese, soy products…. Tyramine is also found in beer and wine. That is why you should limit the alcohol intake.

Caffeine in medications can help you treat its symptoms but caffeine in foods and beverage is not. So, try not to use all drinks and foods that are rich in caffeine if you want to prevent migraine.
Low blood sugar or called hypoglycemia is one of the reasons cause migraines. It is the result of hunger or eating too many refined carbohydrates that happen frequently. Hence, you need to know well about the importance of the small frequent meals as well as breakfast.

Every goddamn day: 04/20/19: "Throwing the old pepper"
Last Saturday's post was writing about studying Latin with my son. Groping for a way to convey that I understood that drilling Latin declinations together is not the standard dad-and-lad activity, I wrote, "Okay, it wasn't throwing the old pepper around in the front yard, but it would have to do."
In my mind, "the old pepper" was a 1930s, Red Barber kind of slang for a baseball. It was like calling a lefty "a southpaw."
A reader tweeted me that it wasn't so. John K. wrote, "Actually, playing pepper involves a bat. But don't sweat it."
But of course I did sweat it. Someone was saying I was wrong. I hate to be wrong, just like most people. Experience tells me, often it is the person offering the correction who is wrong. Or so I hoped, hopping onto Nexis, the newspaper data base. Nothing under "throw the old pepper." Nothing under "toss the old pepper." Almost as if I had made a mistake.
Plus "play pepper" and 'bat" drew over 100 hits.
No, no, no. Determined to be right—the usual sin, common as dirt—I fled to the Internet. "Throwing the old pepper" drew one hit--mine. Hmm, maybe I could recast my mistake as a neologism, the creation of a word or, in this case, a phrase. If it were a mere mistake, other people would have made it too. Being unique, it could count as creativity. I could try to make that argument work...claim it was hapax legemenon, to trot out a $5 term -- a word or phrase that appears only once.
A little voice said: Yes, unique because it's wrong. There were a few other hits connected to "tossing the old pepper pot" but that obviously was a different matter altogether.
I kept trying. "Toss the old pepper" drew exactly one hit -- this rather sweet photo, posted May 14, 2009, of a Little Leaguer. I'd hesitate to post it -- people are paranoid about their kids -- but the mitt manages to obscure most of his face and besides, four years on, he's probably halfway through high school and unrecognizably slouchy and stubbly.
Why does any of this matter? I suppose the short answer is, it doesn't. But if you care about language, you care about how it's used. I'm not sure if I'm admitting a mistake—okay, I'm admitting a mistake, in a round-about way— but also appealing for "throwing the old pepper" to become a phrase attached to playing catch with a baseball. It sounds right, doesn't it? Maybe I'm not mistaken, just ahead of the curve.
Barry Aldridge offers the following. At 3:14 Bugs Bunny says, "That's the old pepper!" So at least I'm in good company. Okay, I feel vindicated. And petty for feeling vindicated. The short, by the way, "Baseball Bugs" is from 1946.

Not to pile on, but "...the mitt manages to obscure most of his face..." Huh? Not in this photo, it doesn't.
If you're looking for an old-timey, Red Barber-era phrase to use, I'd suggest "toss around the ol' horsehide."
So you'd prefer ..."the lower half of his face." Thanks for your comment, maybe I'll revisit the issue next Saturday.
With both Chicago baseball teams in disarray and fall in the air, maybe "tossing around the old pigskin" would have been preferable. Though it doesn't conjure up the same father-son nostalgic imagery of playing catch.
Embrace the wrongness. I mean, it's not like the phrase (which did strike me, Baseball Scholar, as . . . a bit off, but I let it go, because who really cares?) is totally out of left field. But some things that are real never sounded right to me: I'd never "have a catch," I'd "play catch." Some such differences might be regionalisms, but some can get very local. A game where you bounce a rubber ball off the front steps of a home, or the side of a garage in an alley, can be called "pinners" or "ledge": and guys in my neighborhood to this day argue about which is "right." Both, neither. It's language, not Chemistry.
And if you manage to get this term into general (or plural, at least) usage, then you've got a felix culpa here.
Example of one: "slashie" as a term for a combination bar/liquor store,a sort of establishment common (once) in many Chicago neighborhoods. NO ONE IN CHICAGO ever called such places "slashies" until someone writing for Time Out Chicago did so (someone, I might add, from Brooklyn). Now the term is everywhere, especially among people under 30. I hate it, but have lost the battle. No need to throw the pepper at it any longer.
Uh, sorry, Neil, no redemption. "Pepper" as a term for "speed" on a fastball is one thing. That's "pepper," not "toss the old pepper" as in throw the ball.
a.) I don't understand why this bothers you so much, Neil. It was a simple, relatively understandable mistake. To me, the gravity of the error is along the lines of believing your whole life that the lyrics to a famous song go a certain way and then eventually learning that the way one "heard'' them was way off. A little embarrassing perhaps, but no big deal.
b.) I particularly don't understand why you're still looking for vindication, because it seems to me that you'd readily concede that sports are not your cup of tea, in general, given that they're the "same thing happening over and over again."
c.) Like the esteemed Mr. Savage, I thought when I read it that it was a bizarre usage. But I was not inclined to offer a correction, as I thought it was kind of amusing, if not charming. I found it delightfully ironic that, in attempting to show that you're just a regular sports-loving guy despite the Latin drilling, you demonstrated that you are, indeed, more familiar with nerdy, Poindexterish Latin than with the all-American pastime. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
The thing about the old pepper is, it's the same damn thing happening over and over again.

The birthday problem is a fairly simple to state situation. There is at least a 50% probability (e.g. even chance) that at least 2 of 23 randomly chosen people in a room have the same birthday. This comes from some elementary applications of statistics, and is documented on Wikipedia.
While we care less about networks celebrating their annual journey around Sol, we care more about potential address collisions for statically assigned IP addresses. And, curiously, MAC addresses.
Now cut and paste this into your REPL (julia command line, I’ll wait).
Now, we can replicate the P(A’) and P(A) calculations on the wikipedia page trivially.
And our mechanism is generic enough, that we can apply this to Classful networks with IPv4, and other things.
That is, just 20 defined (random) addresses in the class C are enough to get at least a 53.6% probability that there will be one address collision.
You might think, “hey, this is for statically defined addresses, so who cares, we do DHCP everywhere”. Doesn’t matter though, as the DHCP server has to allocate an address, preferably an unused address. It has to test that address to see if it already exists (defensive coding … should really be done) in case another system allocated this address to itself.
Of course, you might say “Darn it, we’ll just use class B’s everywhere. So lets look at that again. Remembering that a class B is 65536 – 2 = 256*256 – 2 = 65534 addresses. I mean, this is more than enough … right?
Yeah … you only need 302 allocated addresses out of the pool of 65534 to get at least a 50% probability of a collision on allocation.
Erp … just 4823 addresses out of 16M. In fact, if you look at it closely, you’ll realize that the crossover point goes as about the square root of the number of slots (IP address in this case).
This of course, assumes that the space isn’t sparse, that all addresses are accessible. If the space is sparse, so that large chunks are never allocated or used for whatever reason, you wind up with an interesting problem. You reduce the size of the space by the size of the holes. Which reduces the number after which you will get a collision.
So why on earth would I spend time tackling something that is ostensibly a solved problem?
Well, there is another problem related to these, that people building out large data centers have likely seen.
addresses in this space. Which, if we use our preceding rough approximation of the square root of that number, we’d get about 16M unique random MAC addresses before we hit a collision.
Imagine, if you will, a network with 1M machines, each with 32 VMs and unique MAC addresses per VM. You will have greater than a 50% chance of a MAC48 collision on this.
This analysis assumes (of course) that the space isn’t sparse. It’s not like there is a vendor field … er … no … wait. There is.
First 3 octets in the address are the vendor OUI. Second 3 are the address. So technically, your pool is really out of 16777216 per vendor.
You could get a collision. Similarly a very large number of VMs on many machines in the DC … you could get a collision.
The analysis gone through here is fairly naive, but it shows that such collisions are anything but improbable. Might be worth thinking about in the era of IoT. IPv6 could help with 3.4 x 1038 addresses … we’d need order of magnitude 1019 addresses see higher probabilities of collisions … This might seem like a long way off, but … imagine if you are working on an allocator for these addresses, and you have a 50% or more probability of generating a collision. Which suggests that you are going to have to rethink how you allocate addresses, what state are you going to preserve (do you really want to store even a small fraction of what you allocated???), etc.
Someone once said something about N kilobytes being enough for any machine, or maximum of M computers as the total world market. Both scenarios had nothing to do with collisions, but were based upon some (wildly) incorrect assumptions about the future. While IPv6 looks like it will push out the pain for a while, there are other aspects to this that might need some looking at now, and planning for a future where we have the ability to easily extend the range as needed.
I mean, we have 1019 addresses before we have to worry about higher probability of collisions … what could go wrong?

Students at The Summit are introduced to band instruments in the 4th grade and have the opportunity to select one they can learn to play in the 5th grade. The program is led by Robert Browning.
"Music reaches a part of the soul that no other art or discipline does," he says. "Sharing the joy of music with young people, and inspiring them to fully develop their God-given gifts, has been the focus of my life."
Mr. Browning had 26 years of experience in education before joining The Summit in 2016. He taught conducting class for his teaching assistantship at James Madison University. He also played in faculty brass quintet at James Madison University and gave trumpet lessons there. He has been a band teacher at local high school. He has a Bachelor of Music Education from the UC College-Conservatory of Music and a Master of Music in Conducting from James Madison University. Listed in Who's Who in Education, he is a member of the Ohio Music Education Association and a member of National Association.
Most of the students in the band program have had no previous experience playing an instrument when they begin. They may select flute, clarinet, trumpet, trombone or baritone in 5th grade and branch off to other instruments in 6th grade. They play a wide variety of selections, from Bach chorales to contemporary movie music and everything in between.
One summit alum, Simon Chow, was invited to play in the 2010 American High School Honors Performance Series at Carnegie Hall. Simon, only started playing the trumpet in 6th grade.

Today everything feels much easier with the presence of technological innovations in your life. It is possible for you to shop online with more advantages that you take. In this case, you can make a purchase order on a certain product such as breitling watches in relatively flexible time.
This is certainly worthy to those that are considered as busy people. It is even possible for them to make a purchase order in their lunchtime. However, of course, there are several things that you have to concern as not all online shops are safe for customers actually. Thus, you should be more careful to determine your option.
It is quite crucial for you to look up the reviews of online shops before you decide the option of a product that you are about to buy online. You cannot touch the product directly so that you should ensure that you deal with a reliable online shop at first.

Just finished and appointment with Dr. Shwom. Excellent appointment. I had some health issues which he took seriously and performed extra procedures during the eye exam to help me understand what is going on with my health. As always he was very thorough and made me feel very comfortable. I have been going to Dr. Shwom for over 20 years and I trust him completely.

It’s 9.30 am and sweltering.
I’m just back from the garden where I’ve been chatting to plants and ponies alike. No one can hear me, it’s probably best that way. Later the mokopuna will join me for pea picking, potato digging and egg hunting. Yesterday I found a hidden nest with 63 eggs. Our chooks, happy but sneaky. Very sneaky.
The house is quiet. Peter gigged last night at the wondrous Common Room and slumbers still. I could do housework, but there’s time enough for drudge when the day is done. I’ll write instead.
Last week we were the entertainers for the Taradale RSA Concert Party Golden Jubilee celebrations. Arriving early, we waited outside our dining room destination. The next door function room was in full swing. Nose pressed to the window I watched old and young as they rocked and rolled.
The one-man piano machine took a break and the next one-man band took his place. With ease he roused the room to rise and join together for a bit of line dancing.
Unexpectedly my old hips did an involuntary wriggle and my thumbs itched towards my belt. I dismissed the very thought – sharpish thank you very much – but not before my mind had time to take a lightening visit down memory lane.
It was Pete’s mum’s 80th birthday. For reasons only known to herself she wanted us to teach her and her friends line dancing. Inwardly we snorted, outwardly we beamed, congratulated Cecily on such a splendid idea and thanked her so much for choosing us.
We tracked down the glorious Gloria Mason and she patiently taught us the moves. The party went well and everything fringed and fabulous was quickly relegated to the closet’s darkest corner.
Some months later Peter was asked to conduct a small exclusive wedding, 40 guests at most.
Feeling shy and out of place I had a gin and tonic. I don’t drink. Inexplicitly I had another and another until four had slipped into my unsuspecting mind. At this point I was smiling at everyone and possibly everything.
On to the empty dance floor came a one-man band with all the bells and whistles. He smiled at the quiet group and broke out into ‘Achy Breaky Heart’.
I found myself rising and floating alone on to the empty dance floor. With thumbs in my belt and a swing in my step, off I went. Side one, behind two, side three, touch four, one, two, three, hitch, five, six, seven, touch. Look at me go.
Still all by myself. Peter forgot to join me. What a sight we could have made, the vicar and his wife. Right chasse, left chasse, heel together, side split, six, seven, eight, kick. On and on and on, just me, all by myself. I think I may well have been quite entertaining that night, but not perhaps in the way I imagined!
As I watched I found that I was smiling, I hadn’t stopped smiling for twenty minutes. The room was full, the RSA community, young, old, single or coupled, all walks of life included, everyone together on the dance floor, laughing, having fun, loneliness and isolation banned.
It seemed I needed to learn yet another lesson.
I climbed down from my lofty high horse. Nose still pressed to the window, everyone who had pushed through the swing doors invited me to join in and maybe I just might have.
Maybe I just might have pushed through shyness and two left feet. Maybe, despite being old and round I just might have joined in and had fun. We were about to meet the wonderful concert party, so I’ll never know. But, in my bag of prejudices and snobbery, it was time to let this one go.
What’s next? Maybe it’s time for a little gnome in the garden. Just one and quite small. Lessons take time.
I hope your summer is going well. We are wall-to-wall storytelling, concerts and music festivals. One of the things I have loved about reading BayBuzz is realising the extraordinary innovation, people and places we have in Hawke’s Bay.
Once I retire my mouth I look forward to hanging out here, but until then we’ll be loading up the bus and travelling on to destinations afar. You might notice in the gig guide that the Frank Burkitt Band is coming to our place on the 10th of February at 5pm. Come and play at our house. We’d love that.

While I was slightly distracted watching an election, Tim Harford posted a few days ago about the efficient markets hypothesis.
Although efficient markets is an appealing idea and can be proved in a world of 'homo economicus', the world has not been demonstrated convincingly to behave as the theory predicts.
A suggestion as to why this may be. The traditional hypothesis says that markets are influenced only by news, which by definition is unpredictable. The apparent phenomenon of 'sentiment' seems to contradict this - sentiment surely drives the market (in both directions) beyond whatever rational level is implied by news events.
I would suggest a modification to the hypothesis: instead of being driven just by unpredictable news, markets are driven by a sentiment which is also unpredictable.
Chaos theory gives us one plausible explanation for how this could arise; the interactions between thousands of interdependent agents who influence each other in ways too complex to be analysed. Sentiment in this sense is hard to model with classical economics because there is no effective price signal to communicate between people in the market. Sentiment does not necessarily obey self-correcting equilibrium laws and find an appropriate balance point.
And so, sentiment - even though not necessarily driven by exogenous events - is still unpredictable and so cannot be factored into market prices. Thus, the efficient markets hypothesis still has the implications for investment strategy that Tim indicates: past performance does not indicate the future; don't pick stocks; and don't time the market.
But perhaps the reason it has been hard to demonstrate is that researches are looking only at news as an influencer. If they also looked at events which are not news, but are also non-predictable within a linear equilibrium model, perhaps the truth of this hypothesis would be more clearly visible.

Yahoo has launched legal action against Facebook for the social media company's alleged infringement of 10 patents including privacy controls, advertising and networking.
Facebook has expressed its intention to fight the lawsuit and said in a statement that it regards Yahoo's actions as 'puzzling'.
In court papers filed yesterday (12 March 2012), Yahoo claimed that Facebook's strategic model, from user profiles to information sharing and messaging, is based on technology patented by Yahoo.
Facebook said: "We learned of Yahoo's decision simultaneously with the media.
In 2011, Yahoo lost its number one spot to Facebook in the US display advertising market, according to digital research and analysis publisher eMarketer. The company still has approximately 700 million website visitors each month, but this falls short of Facebook's 845 million active users.
Over 1000 patents are owned by Yahoo, which wants to strike a licensing deal with Facebook in an echo of its 2004 settlement with Google. The latter was reached just before the search giant went public, netting Yahoo hundreds of millions of dollars.
Facebook filed for an initial public offering (IPO) on the stock market in February 2012, which is expected to see it valued as high as $100bn (£638bn).
Tom Glass, creative director at theEword, said: "Facebook would undoubtedly prefer not to have issues such as this hanging over its head with an IPO looming - something of which Yahoo will be very aware. It may also appear to many people in the industry that Yahoo is keen to cash in at a lucrative time for Facebook."

The Beasts entered the Halloween Tournament with no expectations at all. The team was looking to just have fun and not to freeze for all too long :-) The Beasts really enjoyed the tournament that night, as everyone was dressed up for the occasion. The Beasts were able two win two out of three that night and take second place. It was only against the Unicorns were the Beasts didn't stand a chance. The Beasts are already looking forward to next years Halloween Tournament.
The Beasts started out pretty well in the makeup tournament in Dulliken. The first two games clearly went to the Beasts. Neither the Unicorns nor TruckStar B were able to get their own bats going. The third game against the Toros was close until the fourth where the Toros were able to get three runs in. The Beasts weren't able to react anymore. Once again the Beasts were beaten by the Orcas. While the Beasts bat really well, the defense, one of the strong assets this season, looked bad for once.
The fifth game turned out to be the mirror of the last game the Beasts played against the Frogs. While a month ago the Beasts won by one run, this time around it was the Frogs that were able to win by one single runner brought in. The last game of the day was against the host, TruckStar A. This game also proved to be the most exciting one. All came down to the last play in the last inning, when a runner from TruckStar was able to beat the throw home by a matter of a second. Again the Beasts lost a game by only one run.
Overall it was a pretty decent tournament by the Beasts. The only thing missing was a little bit of luck and the Beasts might have won two or three more games.
The Beasts hosted their annual tournament on a beautiful day on September 10th. Starting off with a crucial win in the first game against the Therwil Flyers, the Beasts kept on playing really solid and ended the day with a 3-1 record.
The first game was close with a lot of lead changes until the bottom of the fourth were a 2-run triple set the path for the first win over the Flyers in over a year. The second game against TruckStar, who the Basel Beasts tied the first two times this summer, was a rollercoaster of emotions. A couple of errors in the infield toyed with the Beasts emotions for a while, but after a homerun by Mark Cortese in the top of the fourth, the Beasts went on to sail to a clear 15-5 victory. On a positiv note the newly acquired player Hermine Bertrand, who gave her debut on Saturday, went 3 for 3 with a double and two singles. The Beasts bats went silent in the first three innings against the Unicorns with only 2 hits and no runs. Quickly the Beasts had to face a 11-3 deficit after five innings. The Beasts response with a five run fifth wasn't enough to overcome the Unicorns, what led to a 11-8 defeat. The final game of the day was nothing for weak nerves and people with a heart condition. None of the teams were able to get a big lead. In the bottom of the fifth the game was tied when Vishal Ranjan lead off with a walk followed by a double by Mark Cortese. Both base runners were able to score on a sacfly by John Williams that lead to a 8-6 victory over the Frogs.
Overall the Beasts played a solid tournament on Saturday and were only a bit shy of winning it all.
On a sad note, the Basel Beasts lost their leadoff player on Saturday. Vishal Ranjan played his last tournament for the Basel Beasts as he is retiring from the Slowpitch Softball in Switzerland. He will be truly missed.
The Beasts invited the Sissach Frogs to a practice game on Thursday night on their home turf. Both teams arrived with a big number of players and therefore changed a lot during the games. The first game was taken clearly by the Frogs 13 to 4. The Beasts weren't able to get their bats going. On the bright side, the defense looked pretty solid with only a couple of errors. The second game had to be aborted in the top of the fourth as the groundskeeper closed down the field. At that time, the Beasts' bat finally got going big time as they were leading the Frogs 14 to 1. All in all the games were a lot of fun with opportunities for every player to try out new positions and having at bats without pressure. After the games both teams stuck around for quite some time and enjoyed a nice summer evening. Looking forward to do this again!
The Beasts finally got to play their first games this season in Wil. The new members of the Beasts (Allison, John, Mike and Mark) instantly proved to be a big help in the Beasts lineup. After a shaky start the Beasts were able to beat the Toros 13 to 4 for their first win of the season. The second game was the strongest outing by the Beasts yet. In an all around great effort, the Beasts beat TruckStar 13 to 2. The last game of the day was a close affair with a 2:2 after two innings. It was only in the top of the third when the Beasts showed off their full potential. The score was run up to 8 to 2 with two runners on base and no outs when a thunderstorm hit and the rest of the game had to be cancelled. The last game will eventually be valued ppd.rain. Overall the Beasts had a great first tournament, already looking forward to confirm their effort in the next one.
The Beasts, supported by two Unicorns, won two out of four in the DreiTannenCup in Olten. While the fielding was great, also thanks to our MVP John, the overall hitting wasn't at its best. Especially the ceiling took away a couple of pretty good hits. Overall we had a fun night and compared to last year, improved by one rank. The Beasts ended up in third place right behind the Flyers and in front of the Devils/Vikings, that both also had two wins. We are already looking forward to next year's DreiTannenCup.
A strongly decimated Beast team set out for their first tournament of the 2016 season, an indoor event hosted by the Orcas. The gameplay was completely new for the Beasts as it was really fast-going, tricky and required a good portion of luck to get ahead.
The Beasts were able to take first two games against Tuck Star II and the Unicorns, but had a tough loss against the Toros. For the last three games the Beasts had to face off with local teams. Quickly the Beasts had to realize, that there wasn't much to win against teams that have been playing this game for a couple of years. Still the whole day and the experience were great and the few present Beasts had quite a lot of fun!
