Bolt Farm Treehouse is a romantic retreat in the treetops of South Carolina. A place to rest and reconnect: cozy, exotic, whimsical and glamorous.
It is located on 40 acres of farmland and forest in beautiful Walhalla (which is near Clemson University). This luxury treehouse was designed and built by Seth Bolt, founding member of the Grammy-nominated Rock band NEEDTOBREATHE, along with his father Larry Bolt. The two created this luxurious getaway in June 2015 so their family could have a comfortable and inspiring place to relax and unwind.
"When we realized how special this place is and how important it became to us to have a place where the pace of life is slower, we decided to open it to the public in hopes that other busy people would experience it as a sanctuary of rest." -Seth Bolt.
While building the treehouse, Seth said he wanted it to be a place worthy of his wedding. That statement was foretelling as he and Tori were married at Bolt Farm in May 2016. They had their first look inside the treehouse, the wedding ceremony and reception were down the way on the 'Field of Dreams', and the newlyweds spent the first night of their honeymoon in the romantic treehouse Seth had built.
The treehouse received 110 five-star reviews in 10 months and now has nearly 200. Bolt Farm was awarded as an 'Aribnb Super Host' for the six consecutive quarters it has been open to the public. In June 2016, travel site Only in Your State named it the number one place to stay in South Carolina. In September it was named one of the five top treehouses in the South by The Atlantic Journal Constitution, and was featured in Blue Ridge Country Magazine in the "Amazing Overnights" article.
While most guests are couples seeking a romantic getaway, we have also had guests come with friends, family, mother-daughter time, as well as solo guests seeking "me time." Recent treehouse visitors include well-named music artists, TV personalities, professional photographers, CEO's of nationwide organizations, and of course nature lovers, as Bolt Farm is a nature-preserving, eco-friendly retreat.
The perfect blend of nature and comfort, Bolt Farm Treehouse is fully furnished and is equipped with a bathroom, electricity, and heater/ AC unit. Extra touches include fluffy bathrobes and slippers, chocolates, coffee, wine and you can enjoy all these in the tree house hammock! The outdoor shower provides views of the woods, while still giving guests full privacy.
Turned off our phones and reconnected with nature and each other at Bolt Farm Luxury Romantic Treehouse.

Q: Magento - Accessing Products Custom Attribute Value in Mage_Sales_Model_Order.php I'm trying to access the handling time for specific products through a custom attribute in Mage_Sales_Model_Order.php with $handlingtime = $this->getProduct()->getAttributeText('fig_handling_time');
But everytime I send an order email i get the error Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttributeText() on a non-object in /home/japena/public_html/app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Order.php on line 1320
I've been researching all day, tried many different code and have come to the conclusion that I can't access the product $this->getProduct() or Mage::getModel('catalog/product') and I've also tried
$_product = Mage::getModel("catalog/product")->load($_product->getId());
$handlingtime = $_product->getData('fig_handling_time');
$product = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($item->getId());
$handlingtime = $product->getAttributeText('fig_handling_time');
$handlingtime = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($_item['product_id'])->getAttributeText('fig_handling_time');
$handlingtime = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->load($product_id)->getAttributeText('fig_handling_time');
Nothing seems to work any ideas I would appreciate it.

A: //First get the attribute id
$audienceAttributeId = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute')->getIdByCode('catalog_product','session_audience');
//Now Load the attribute
$audienceAttribute = Mage::getModel('catalog/resource_eav_attribute')->load($audienceAttributeId);

//Now get the product collection that you want to use to fine the attributes values for.
//I wanted the attribute values for only grouped products. You could add category filters
and such
$productCollection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection()
->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore())
->addAttributeToSelect('session_audience')
->addAttributeToSort('session_audience', 'asc')
->addAttributeToFilter('type_id', array('eq' => 'grouped'));

//Now get the product ids for the collection
$productCollectionIds = $productCollection ->getAllIds();

//Now we query the data base to get the attribute values for the given product ids.
//NOTE that I am selecting from the catalog_product_entity_varchar table because this is the type of attribute I was using.
$read = Mage::getSingleton('core/resource')->getConnection('core_read');
$select = $read->select();
$select->from('catalog_product_entity_varchar')
->where('attribute_id = ?', $audienceAttributeId)
->where('entity_id IN (?)', $productCollectionIds );

//print_r($select->__toString());die();

//Now get the ids for the attribute values.

$result = $read->query($select);
$attributeOptionIds = array();
while($row = $result->fetch()){
$attributeOptionIds = array_merge($attributeOptionIds, explode(',', $row['value']));
}
array_unique($attributeOptionIds);
//print_r($audienceOptions);die();

//Now get the actual values for the Ids as a Collection and do something with the values.
$filteredAudienceCollection = Mage::getResourceModel('eav/entity_attribute_option_collection')
->setPositionOrder('asc')
->setAttributeFilter($audienceAttributeId)
->setStoreFilter($audienceAttribute->getStoreId())
->addFieldToFilter('main_table.option_id', array('in' => $attributeOptionIds))
->load();

'Neighbouring Sounds' at the Brazilian Embassy
The strange noises of the middle class: last night London listened to the subtle and unnerving sounds of a high-rise condominium in Brazil, as DMovies screened one of the best films of the decade
Last night a group of cinema lovers and enthusiasts of Brazilian culture showed up at the Brazilian Embassy for the fourth DMovies screening this year. Previous titles included the off-kilter Batguano (Tavinho Teixeira, 2014), the provocative Dead Girl's Feast (Matheus Nachtergaele, 2011) and Rat Fever (Cláudio Assis, 2011). Rat Fever was followed by a debate on sexual freedoms and anarchy, with Brazilian member congressman Jean Wyllys, BFI Flare's programmer Brian Robinson and professor of cinema studies Lucia Nagib – click here in order to see a video of the debate.
In Neighbouring Sounds (2012), the then debutant filmmaker Kleber Mendonça Filho explored the dull urban cacophony that ties together middle-class neighbours in Recife to outstanding results. The New York Times voted it one of the top 10 films of the decade.
Unlike other Brazilian films such as City of God (Fernando Meirelles, 2002) and Elite Squad (José Padilha, 2007), Mendonça Filho chose not to denounce violence and corruption in a graphic and tantalising manner. There is no armed gun fighting, car chases, electrifying music and sadistic murders in Neighbouring Sounds. Yet the film is at times excruciating to watch: the violence and the corruption here are much more subtle, yet no less powerful. They slow their ugly face in events so banal in Brazil that they hardly cause any commotion: a car radio being stolen, a juvenile delinquent forced down a tree and beaten up by the local security staff.
Kebler Mendonça Filho's second film Aquarius was part of the official competition of the Cannes Film festival earlier this year. The film's crew protested at the steps of the Promenade against against the recent political developments in Brazil by holding signs that said "Stop the Coup in Brazil" and similar messages, an event that attracted international media attention. There are rumours that the film will premiere in the BFI London Film Festival in October, so stay tuned for the programme in early September
Click here in order to read DMovies' five-splat review of Neighbouring Sounds.
The last session of DMovies at the Brazilian Embassy will take place on August 31st, with the audacious Neon Bull (Gabriel Mascaro, 2015). The film, which has never released in the UK, before portrays the naked and raw life of Brazilian vaqueiros (cowboys) in rich graphic and sensorial detail.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Hayle Gadelha, Fernanda Franco, Andrzej Pierce and everyone else at the Brazilian Embassy for their continuous support.

Former US President Bill Clinton paid a surprise visit to Pyongyang, capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), from 4-5 August 2009.
The immediate aim of his visit was to request the Korean people to pardon and send home on humanitarian grounds two young Asian-American women journalists who had illegally entered the DPRK in order to gather information and to make a hostile documentary for a US television channel co-founded by Al Gore, who had served as Clinton's vice president. The two women had been arrested shortly after entering Korea and sentenced to lengthy terms of imprisonment, reflecting the hostile relations between the USA and the DPRK, and the threat posed by the former to the latter.
Following meetings with the DPRK leader Comrade Kim Jong Il, including a dinner which extended over several hours, the USA's request was acceded to and Clinton left for home with the two journalists the next day.
Clinton thus became the second former president of the USA to visit the DPRK for talks with that country's top leaders. In 1994, during his own first term of office, former President Jimmy Carter visited Pyongyang for talks with the late President Kim Il Sung.
One important difference was that, whereas Carter's visit was, at its inception at least, his private initiative, and the Clinton White House, was at first decidedly lukewarm about his mission, in the case of Clinton's own visit, the initiative actually came from the incumbent administration of Barack Obama, which, despite its transparent and entirely unconvincing protestations that this was a private affair of the former president, with no implications for broader DPRK-US relations and the various matters at issue between the two countries, especially the nuclear issue, was actually intimately involved in every aspect of preparing the visit and in its aftermath.
Later in August, DPRK diplomats from the country's UN mission in New York, in a rare foray beyond the 25-mile radius to which they are normally confined by the US authorities, visited the state of New Mexico at the invitation of its governor Bill Richardson, who has previously visited the DPRK. Besides political discussions with Governor Richardson, the diplomats also visited a number of businesses, as well as academic and research institutes, connected with renewable energy.
An important point to note about such visits is that they completely give the lie to the imperialist slanders that the DPRK is an isolated country. Not only does it maintain very close relations with socialist and other anti-imperialist countries, but even the most senior politicians of the most powerful imperialist nation are forced to seek out and petition the leaders of this small country of some 24 million people. Even some people in the working class movement, who should know better, would have us believe that Korea is cast into a corner because it resolutely defends its sovereignty, even to the extent of equipping itself with nuclear weapons. But again, the opposite is the case. The reason imperialism showers the DPRK with presidential envoys and not cluster bombs is precisely because the country can defend itself.
Following Clinton's visit a number of positive signs have also appeared in the relations between the DPRK and south Korea, which had been in steady decline since the right wing regime of Lee Myung Bak came to power. On 16 August, Comrade Kim Jong Il had a long meeting with Hyon Jong Un, the chairperson of the Hyundai Group, the south Korean monopoly which has led the way in developing economic relations between the two parts of Korea. Following this meeting, the two sides agreed to resume and develop their cooperation in tourism, to develop the joint industrial zone in the north Korean city of Kaesong, and to resume the programme of reunions of families divided by the partition of the Korean nation.
Days later, a high level DPRK delegation travelled to the south Korean capital Seoul to pay tribute to Kim Dae Jung, the first democratic president of south Korea, who died on 18 August, and whose own historic visit to Pyongyang in 2000 had raised such high hopes among all the Korean people for national reconciliation and reunification.
"It was the arrest and conviction of the American journalists that precipitated Mr Clinton's diplomacy. But it was the nuclear test…, with all the perils it menaced, that made a new dialogue with North Korea urgent.

Boring title, I know. I just couldn't come up with anything jazzier. Nothing compares to the serene yet dramatic world I have been dropped into. I felt like a little tiny baby being carried in the storks mouth and then gently let down in the jungle forests of Ecuador.
I feel like somewhat of a fool. I have been preparing for this trip for a year. And anybody who knows me knows that I worry. Something in my blood, my genetic makeup. I work so hard at shaking my nervous energy yet sometimes... that only makes it worse. So of course I worried about saying goodbye to my family, snakes, biting flieas, bacteria, the plane ride. You name it, I worried about it. All of that pent up nervous energy made me a bit much to handle on the home front. I thought I had prepared everything. I charged my I-Pod, had all my books ready, purchased two kinds of bug spray, vacillated for days between what shoes to bring and even packed and repacked my bags 3 times. A bit of overkill, I know.
The day finally arrived to get on the plane and say goodbye to my family. We loaded everything up into the car and I fought back the tears all the way to the airport. I haven't left my kids for more than ten days. So a month seemed a bit long yet also well deserved. I had received 3 eamils earlier in the day letting my know that my flight was being delayed, over and over again. Well... that was a little nerve wracking. Then at the airport they let me know that my plane was going to arrive so late that I would end up missing all of my connections. They would have to put me on a flight for tomorrow. What!!??? No saying goodbye? No tears, no getting on a plane to Ecuador? I looked at the poor young agent and thought, this is the time where I am supposed to demand some sort of compensation, some sort of free plane ticket. However, in my flustered anger and sadness, I was not able to spit out what I really needed, so my husband took over. Two travel vouchers later, bag fee returned, and food vouchers for the airport.....I let go of my idea of leaving that day and hopped back into the car with my family. Sort of anticlimactic.
Instead of my family saying goodbye to me at the airport, I said goodbye to them, in our driveway. They had plans and were off to Chicago. So with 24 hours of free time, I repacked my bags again and whiled away the hours reading a book and chatting with friends.
After an eventful day of flying and driving at 10,000 feet on curvy roads, at midnight in the Andes, I landed here, in chocolate land. And for the past three days I have been giving chocolate tours, soaking in as much as I can, eating and tasting tons of chocolate and having a major eureka moment. Fresh chocolate straight from the source is like nothing other. Holy goodness.... how about eating chocolate right out of the grinder, warm and delicious. It is hard to even call the chocolate we have grown accustomed to eating 'chocolate'. Today I made brownies, and hung out in the fermentation tent. (that really smells good) I have learned about roasting coffee, cuppings and nib tasting. My dream has become my reality.
Enjoy the pics. By the way, my i-pod was never really charged. I put my ear buds on in the plane as a soothing distraction from the turbulence. I pressed play, again and again.... unfortunately, no music ever came out. I left my flashlight at home, packed some really unnecessary items (like my 2 bags of tamari almonds and sun screen for the cloud forest. Live and learn.
I had received 3 eamils earlier in the day letting my know that my flight was being delayed, over and over again.
what an amazing journey you are on. Great pics, the rain forest, coffee, and all of that chocolate. I can't wait to read more.
Too bad about your flight fiasco. flying just isn't what it used to be for sure!
Gorgeous pictures and quite the experience.


The Benetti shipyard presents the "Classic 120'", a motoryacht designed by the same team that created the "Classic 115'", that is, Stefano Righini for the exterior and François Zuretti for the interior. The design is modern, with the forward part of the superstructure configured in wide-body style, and with large windows all around, solutions which make the interior very spacious and filled with light. The 120' is built entirely of composite. The luxurious interior features latest-generation multimedia systems, with large LCD TVs, powerful stereo systems and DVD players, as well as all of the appliances indispensable for the potential use of this yacht, including ovens, microwave ovens, cooktops, refrigerators, freezers, dishwashers and food processors. Benetti offers owners various layouts, so as to satisfy both those who want a made- to-measure yacht for personal use and those who intend to charter. In any case, the lower deck is divided into two night areas, each with independent access. The first is located at the forward end of the deck and is intended for the crew, for which four cabins are reserved, each with bathroom and accommodating a total of seven. The guests' night area is amidships and is available in two layouts, which differ according to the number of cabins. In the first layout, we find two guest cabins with separate beds and a large VIP cabin, all three with their own bathrooms, while in the second version there are two smaller cabins rather than a VIP suite. The stern area of the deck is reserved for a hangar housing a RIB and two jetskis, which can be launched from the opening/access in the transom. The main deck is also available in two different layouts. The first has the owner's cabin at the forward end of the superstructure, with double bed, dressing room and large bathroom. Moving towards the stern, we find the galley, with the crew's dining area, the dining area for the owner and guests and, alongside, the large saloon. In the second layout, the owner's suite is replaced by the dining area, in turn replaced by another relaxation area. In the open air, we find a large sofa athwartship and a cocktail table. The upper deck is offered in three different versions, which have only the command station in common. The first has a bar corner, interior saloon, bathroom, and exterior relaxation and dining areas. The second features an owner's suite, with related services, and mirror-image relaxation areas on the exterior terrace. The third layout differs only as to the arrangement of the interior saloon. In the standard version, the sundeck includes a jacuzzi, relaxation area with cocktail cabinet and cushioned sunbathing area. The layouts vary only with respect to small details relative to the arrangement of the furnishings and cushions.

I don't know why I am posting. Maybe to appease guilt that I haven't posted? Why do I have guilt? That's crazy. It's MY blog.
So there's tragic news here at Millions of Thoughts. I cannot find my camera charger. Therefore I cannot upload photos because my camera is dead. I know.
Movers come in 3 days.. EeeP! I will be in temporary accomodation (meaning - scramble to pack a months worth of stuff in my car ) for a month before we move into our new home in September.
But to increase my stress levels, I figured I'd do a giveaway. You see, awhile back, I purchased a superhero cross stitch pattern from Wee Wonderfuls. There was a glitch in the mail system and I never received it. The lovely owner sent a new one to me. Well, both patterns came then at nearly the same time ( I think one was a postage error). She included an additional hand stitch pattern as an apology, which was unecessary, but nice to do. Isn't this turtlestuffie cute? I asked her if she would mind if I give the extra away and she was fine with it.
So, tell me which pattern you would like to win?
and of course, no you don't need to blog about this or add me as a friend or put a bumper sticker on the car about this to get more entries.... but you do need to be reachable. I won't play tag with you for weeks. So, make sure your blogger profile name allows email replies, or add an email contact to your comment.
nice to hear from you Andrea...especailly since i just thought of you!! look what i saw in blogland!!
your patterns are both darling...id be thrilled with either...do i HAVE to pick one?
best of luck getting the correct things packed up for the month!
have a great move - my good friend lives in the area you are moving to.
I hope your move goes well for you. I would love to win the superhero pattern.
Thank you for a simple giveaway. YAY!
I love the superhero pattern!
Thanks for the fun giveaway! I actually already have the superhero pattern, but I'd love the turtle! Good luck with the move.
I don't want to enter the giveaway but I do want to say 'hear hear' re your comments about what you don't have to do to enter your giveaway. Totally agree and wish more people were like you!
Oh, the turtle is adorable. My little one would love it! Hope the move goes great.
I don't want either, because I can't sew, but I am very excited to be seeing you soon. You will be very close to me in August as we are in North B. You and the boys can come and hang in the back yard if you like or we can go somewhere to burn their endless energy on.
i'd love the turtle hand stitch stuffie.
nicely put... as to how you ended up with 2 of the same pattern..
Super heroes for sure. And good luck with the move. Hope it goes smoothly.
Hope the move goes smoothly! I love the superheroes cross stitch. My 4 year old is so into superheroes right now and it would be fun to make something for him.
I so love the turtle stuffie!

Home Town HallHealthy Community Task Force
Originally formed in 2012, the Sioux Lookout Healthy Community Task Force (HCTF) was formed to develop and implement a Community Drug & Alcohol Strategy. Over time, in addition to the implementation of the Strategy, the Task Force evolved to address other opportunities and challenges with respect to community well-being. Currently, the Task Force consists a group of individuals in Sioux Lookout, all of whom are community wellbeing stakeholders. Individuals from multiple sectors such as Healthcare, Child & Family Services, Police, Mental Health Services, and other agencies meet regularly. The goal of the HCTF is to improve community wellbeing, to facilitate cross-sector collaboration, and to provide further knowledge regarding program availability. The HCTF and its membership, with the assistance of funding from the Municipality of Sioux Lookout and other contributing local agencies, enable the Task Force to offer educational programs for community members to raise awareness regarding common issues such as methamphetamine addiction and treatment availability and options.
The next exciting chapter for the HCTF is about to begin. The Task Force is partnering with the Municipality to implement the Sioux Lookout Community Safety and Well-Being Plan (CSWB Plan). Improving safety and well-being in Sioux Lookout requires a collaborative approach that will involve many community partners working together towards systems change that will benefit all residents of Sioux Lookout. This Plan was developed with the support and contribution of multiple agencies and organizations in the Sioux Lookout community, with direct input from Sioux Lookout's residents.
Sioux Lookout's Community Safety and Well-Being Plan consists of strategies and supporting actions that fall within the four levels of intervention – social development, prevention, risk intervention, and incident response. A combination of research, a review of existing data and community reports, and input from system leaders and community stakeholders was used to identify where to focus collaborative efforts for the Sioux Lookout CSWB Plan. Through this process, six priority areas of focus were selected:
Appropriate and affordable housing
Substance misuse and addictions
Crisis Services' capacity for incident response and de-escalation
Employee recruitment and retention
Community cohesiveness and vibrancy
These six priority areas of focus each have expanded into a strategy for change with supporting goals and key activities. To see these strategies applied in the community, the Plan's inputs and outputs will need to be affirmed by community stakeholders. Stakeholders must identify a sufficient and realistic level of investment of resources to reach the Plan's goals and join the Municipality in a community-wide commitment to them. A Performance Measurement Framework for the Plan's strategies will be developed and is important to implement so that the community's progress can be tracked and evaluated against the CSWB Plan.


Exam stress bothers many of our students. Sadly, it hinders students from lower socio-economic status (SES) families even more.
As a result, these students struggle — especially in STEM classes. And, this struggle makes it harder for them to enter these important (and lucrative!) fields.
Can we break this cycle somehow?
Christopher Rozek tried a combination of strategies to help lower-SES science students manage exam stress.
This research stands out for a number of reasons: in particular, it included a large sample (almost 1200 students). And, it took place in a school, not a psychology lab. That is, his results apply to the "real world," not just a hermetically sealed research space.
Rozek worked with students taking a 9th grade biology class. Before they took the two exams in the course, Rozek had students write for ten minutes.
Another group read a brief article showing that the right amount of stress can enhance performance. This reading, and the writing they did about it, helps students "reappraise" the stress they feel.
A third group did shortened versions of both "dumping" and "reappraising" exercises.
And the control group read and wrote about the importance of ignoring and suppressing negative/stressful emotions.
So, did the "dump" strategy or the "reappraise" strategy help?
For example, Rozek and Co. measured the effect these strategies (alone or together) had on the exam-score gap between high- and low-SES students.
The result? They cut the gap by 29%.
Rozek also tracked course failure. Among low-SES students, these strategies cut the failure rate by 50%.
In his final measure, Rozek found that — after these interventions — low SES-students evaluated their stress much more like the high SES-students. The gap between these ratings fell…by 81%.
All this progress from a 10 minute writing exercise.
If you've got students who are likely to feel higher levels of anxiety before a test, you might adapt either (or both) of these strategies for your students.
The best way to make these strategies work will vary depending on your students' age and academic experience.
You might start by reviewing Rozek's research — click the link above, and look for the "Procedure" section on page 5. From there, use your teacherly wisdom to make those procedures fit your students, your classroom, and you.

STUBHUB PRESSBOX
Working at StubHub
StubHub's Second Annual MLB Preview: Yankees Lead the Way With Most In-Demand Home Opener, Astros See World Series Bump
Jersey retirement ceremonies and heated rivalries draw MLB crowds
For the first time since 1968, all 30 MLB clubs will play on Opening Day, March 29th. We at StubHub compiled a season preview that takes a look at demand and trends for MLB's 2018 regular season kickoff and onward. Top headlines include the Yankees return to dominance in terms of ticket demand, the Astros World Series bump, and offseason moves driving early sales.
YANKEES SET TO HAVE THE #1 SELLING OPENING DAY GAME
Coming off a 2017 postseason run and a trade for the reigning NL MVP Giancarlo Stanton, the Yankees are set to have StubHub's #1 selling home opener in 2018.
New York Yankees home opener against the Tampa Bay Rays, currently outsells the Los Angeles Dodgers' home opener, StubHub's 2nd top-selling home opening game, by 12%
BIGGEST DODGERS' HOME OPENER ON STUBHUB IN RECENT YEARS
With Kershaw on the roster and coming off a World Series appearance, the Los Angeles Dodgers' 2018 home opener is the club's best-selling in recent years and set to outpace the team's 2017 home opener by 41% in ticket sales from this time last year.
Looking onward to the rest of the season after each team's home opener…
BARRY BONDS RETIREMENT IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED MOMENT OF THE REGULAR SEASON
After home openers, Barry Bonds' jersey retirement is the top selling game so far. The game to commemorate the former Pittsburgh Pirates and SF Giants player, Barry Bonds, is currently outselling the second top game of the season, Dodgers at Giants on 4/7, by 46%.
THE MOST HEATED RIVALRY THIS SEASON: GIANTS V DODGERS
StubHub declares the San Francisco Giants/Los Angeles Dodgers as the biggest rivalry of the season. The teams' matchups take up five out of the ten top games of the season.
YANKEES ARE THE MOST IN-DEMAND TEAM
New York Yankees are StubHub's top-selling team in MLB going into the season, outselling the San Francisco Giants and Boston Red Sox by 28% and 70% respectively.
The team shows the third highest growth in the league as demand in terms of ticket sales is up 61% from last year, likely a result of the team's off-season moves.
ASTROS SEE WORLD SERIES BUMP
This is the first time the Houston Astros have broken into StubHub's top ten MLB teams going into the regular season in the last five years.
The team's ticket sales are up 223% from this time last year, the highest growth out of all the teams in the league.
HONORABLE MENTION: ANGELS SEE OHTANI EFFECT
With the big buzz around Shohei Ohtani's debut season, the Los Angeles Angels come in as StubHub's #11 top-selling team and the fourth highest growth team in the league as demand is up 55% from this time last year.
For more information and commentary on MLB opening day or any other event, please reach out to PR@StubHub.com.

The courgette keeps the sponge layers wonderfully soft as they ooze with the refreshingly light lime cream and sharp raspberry jam. I love to finish it with edible flowers from my garden. It makes a show-stopping.


It looks as though Microsoft could be in for a bit of a shake-up if the latest memo from their CEO is anything to go by.
In a letter written to employees, Satya Nadella said he and his counterparts are taking some "important steps to visibly change our culture" and mentioned other new mantras for employees, such as to "obsess over customers".
Titled, 'Bold Ambition & Our Core', the memo stated the company's culture should strive towards all employees "making Microsoft the best place for smart, curious, ambitious people to do their best work".
He also promised his staff streamlined processes to reduce the amount of time and energy spent, and can "expect to have fewer processes but more focused and measurable outcomes".
Microsoft employees can also expect better training, learning and experimentation as the company aims to provide more opportunities to test ideas and incubate new projects.
"All of this, too, comes with accountability and the need to deliver great work for customers, but it is clear that investing in future learning and growth has great benefit for everyone," Nadella wrote.
"We have clarity in purpose to empower every individual and organisation to do more and achieve more. We have the right capabilities to reinvent productivity and platforms for the mobile-first and cloud-first world.
Nadella also called for the company to focus on productivity – both internally and externally.
"More recently, we have described ourselves as a 'devices and services' company. While the devices and services description was helpful in starting our transformation, we now need to hone in on our unique strategy," he wrote.

Miquel Barcelo by Colm Tóibín
Colm Tóibín and Miquel Barceló on Walt Disney, looking like animals and when painting is better than real life.

Miquel Barceló was in New York in October for the opening of an exhibition of new paintings at the Acquavella Galleries. One of the upstairs rooms contained portraits he had done using bleach, including a portrait he had done of me in his studio in Mallorca in the summer of 2011. The other galleries contained new work using the color white. On the day after the opening I met him downtown to talk about his work.
Colm Tóibín In The Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann, Hans Castorp sees an X-ray of himself for the first time, and it's almost erotic, he sees what really his soul or his body, what the X-ray has done. There's something about your recent paintings that have that element of looking at X-Rays. Could you tell me technically how the paintings are made?
Miquel Barceló It's bleached canvas. In the beginning, I used black paper or board and bleach and a little bit of white chalk.
CT Just to get the outline?
MB Yes. And always with the model in front of me. I can't use pictures—I have tried at times but it is not the same… something happens with the real model that can never happen with pictures.
CT So you have the black canvas and then you get the bleach. When you were doing the portrait of me, one of the things I noticed was that you had to work very fast.
MB I do it fast because I don't know how to do it slowly.
CT Because it's so thin.
MB Yes, and you don't see what happens until the day after. You believe it happens but you don't know. I now use several canvases… linen, cotton, and velvet. Cotton is faster and you only see a little bit, because of the humidity in the air. It's funny, because the day after it is a big surprise—sometimes it is very good and sometimes not so good.
CT It is not like taking a photograph. These portraits are very severe and I love mine, but my friends think, How could you let this happen to you, because you look like an animal and I said, "Well I am an animal!"
MB That is why I can't make self-portraits in this. I've made many self-portraits in the past. But in bleach, I can't… I made my mother, my daughter, my son, the people close to me, but not me.
CT Your portrait of your mother is very like you.
MB Yes, I guess it is kind of like a self-portrait.
CT I wonder if the reason why you don't make self-portraits in this system is that you are almost painting somebody as though they are dead, of bone, of flesh falling off.
MB Yes, but I'm not afraid to see that in myself. In paintings in the past, I've made portraits that are very strong, like my skull. To make a self-portrait, I need a mirror. With bleach, it's always the eyes and hands work something like a camera. It is very close to photography, but before photography and painting separate. Photography is a chemical process and my art is like photography but my hand makes the chemistry. There is a point very early, where photography is like a technique of paint. It's okay to be in between, because something interesting happens when photography goes one way and paint another.
CT Yes, your hand is the chemistry, the chemical.
MB And nothing to do with photorealism, it is nothing like that. Just the light, and the insulation.
CT Is it important that you know the person?
MB Yeah, but sometimes no. I think it is important—I make more portraits of people I know than people I don't know.
Barceló's studio.
CT I don't think you're interested in psychology or in capturing someone's mind so much as their body in a flash.
MB Yes, the most important thing though is what I realize after. Your portrait, this animality… I never imagined that. (_laughter_) It's just something that is evident for us after it is finished, the day after I say, "Wow, it's like a wild animal" but I never think, "Colm looks like an animal."
CT We were talking about the most civilized things, and then I come out [in the painting] as this feral animal, all bone, all hunger and actually I feel like that, but usually at night.
When I saw your early notebooks from when you were sixteen—which are in Paris—you've got your algebra lessons, calculus, mathematics, as well as drawings… Almost everything that interested you was there in that first notebook. Is that correct? Could you give me a list of the things that interest you?
MB I remember painting the profiles of the girls I liked. Because in school, you always see the profiles. I remember I started at the forehead, but now I start at the chin. I made the same profile many times and you see some change, because profiles change a lot. You see profiles in ceramic, paint, in all the ages from the very young to the very old. I think my sketchbook is very ugly; the animals and the fruit and changing things.
CT Things dying.
In Spain, in those years, everyone had to go and do one year of military service under the dictatorship. People had a really terrible time in that year, and they changed with all the discipline and the uniforms and the guns; it really changed people from very sweet teenagers to quite different adults.
MB That time for me was a nightmare, I knew I could not go through that. I copied paper money and thought that maybe I could make fakes in the future.
CT Oh, right, you could counterfeit money.
MB And I have a bill in blue, but the original is green. I made copies in blue, but in bulk size. It is not so bad, I thought with all the details, maybe I could use it. Otherwise, you know this was a big question in the 1970s, How do you make a living?
CT Was your mother painting at that time?
MB Yes, my mother did oil paintings. She would give me the colors very fast. I had watercolors—I love watercolors, I still use them. My mother would see Paul Klee, Picasso, Manet. I remember we would look at Manet's pictures and say: For that color, to do that thing you need more paint. And with oil you can use the knife, not with watercolor. When I started to paint, she never painted again.
CT When you started she stopped?
MB Yes, yes. Even in the last years I asked her, "Why won't you try this acrylic color?" and I gave her acrylic paints, but she never wants to paint. She just does embroidery, as you know.
CT Your mother makes these extraordinary embroideries, really enormous sheets, like tapestries. She embroiders all these animals—fish and undersea life in these different colors. Exquisite, extremely beautiful.
MB But it is not paint because paint is something forbidden for her. It is very curious. I mean, my mother made copies of Pissaro, things like that. I have many memories of my mother since she stayed at home—she showed me the first paintings I had ever seen. But she decided to be she could not be a painter unless she could continue further into it.
CT When did you see Picasso's work first?
MB Oh when I was very young. Picasso was like a hero. I remember when he died I was very sad, crying. My first hero was Walt Disney, when I was seven or eight.

CT Walt Disney, really?
MB Yes, I loved Walt Disney. It is so modern. Not so much now because it is this big industry, but his first movies, in black and white with Mickey Mouse, were fabulous. When he died I was very sad because the feeling is like that of an orphan or something. But they put in ice the body of Walt Disney, saying that in some years we can—
CT —bring him back to life.
MB Yes, well maybe it's true. (_laughter_) But in '72 when Picasso died… how old was I? Fifteen probably. I didn't like Walt Disney anymore but I loved Picasso. I had just seen Picasso in books, but he was my first hero, much more than any other. For everything. Not just because of his painting, but because he made everything. Cubists, portraits, sculptures, ceramics, crazy projects, everything. Movies… And it was all good.
CT I stayed in your house in Majorca, and if anybody asked me about you, I'd say, "He works incredibly hard. He's up very early, and if he appears in the morning from the studio—always wet with paint—for a quick coffee and nothing else, he runs back to the studio and then has a short lunch." You really work.
MB It's a very physical thing to work in paint. That's the reason why I like the change from paint to clay to portrait because repetition makes me melancholic, and melancholy is static in my case. Because I am more than 50, I know that. If I feel this repetition of things, the same technique and I know a technique perfectly well, I have this feeling to copy myself is akin to depression. Something has collapsed and nothing happens. When in this feeling, this cycle, I learn a new thing and sometimes a new technique too to break this.
CT You get low energy from sadness?
MB Well maybe, but it is not good. Some of my favorite paintings are from a very sad period because my love had left me or something like that. But in that moment, painting was better than my life. That happened many times. (_laughter_)
CT I suppose there are two other things: One of them is that if you, on those days in Majorca, go anywhere, it's in the water. And in the water, you are very like a fish. You can go down under the water for a long time, and almost actually be part of the water.
MB Being in the water is very close to painting. For years, I painted on the floor in the studio.
CT The canvas is flat on the floor, it's not on the wall.
MB I walk in and the movement is like deep in the sea.
CT It's like swimming—it's like diving.
MB Diving. Even probably in the moment that I make a stroke, I take a respiration. (_breathes in_) Like diving, to conserve the energy or something. You go in and out, in and out. The movement of a painter goes in and back. I move this way but more radically.
CT I sort of felt that you were going down into the water looking for colors.
MB Yeah and when I was young I would catch octopus or squid or fish. Now I don't kill anything anymore, but see I will never make peace with them. (_laughter_) When I was fourteen I killed thousands of them. When I was that age I always had a spear, and I killed big fishes every single day, in the morning and in the afternoon. For me, diving is very very close to paint. To float in space, you are parallel; in the sea it happens down. And sometimes we are underwater for more than two minutes; we are still. If you move in that space, you lose oxygen.
CT Tell me about when you went to Paris for the first time and why.
MB I did student travel when I was 15 or 16 and I remember everybody wanted to go to Greece, and I decided to go to Paris instead to see the museums. I finally went to Paris and I remember the Louvre a little bit, but I remember a Toulouse-Lautrec painting, the ones he did of the prostitute dancer, on treated linen. He made these fantastic pieces, and I remember thinking, Wow this is fantastic. I remember I would see some American paintings—Pollock, and others. Also the work of Dubuffet; I had never seen the real paintings but I had heard things about them and Rauschenberg, very abstract. It was something very real, not like in photographs.
CT When you can see the actual paint?
MB Yes. There is something different than the formal art. The other thing that happened at that time in Paris was not at the museums, but the conceptual art. Much later I saw Beuys and people like that, but when I was 15, I was more interested in Dubuffet, Rauschenberg; that kind of painter. Fontana, I loved Fontana. Even now I love him. I like the violence of Fontana, him working with gray; it is the right thing. On canvas he put a lot of paint in gray, because gray is like flesh. When he made holes, there this is this resistance, but canvas is not resistant, it is too easy to make holes on. But in gray, it is much more effective.
CT And when did you go to live in Paris?
MB In '83. First I lived for a year in Naples. Because Lucio Amelio invited me, and it was just after the big earthquake, it destroyed the city almost. There were also many small ones, and it was really scary but in that time Amelio invited Andy Warhol, Beuys, and all these transnational artists. I first saw Andy Warhol in Napoli but I met him really in New York some years after, in '85. But in '83 I spent one year, or nine months really, in Herculano, in the bay of Napoli. There were all these Roman ruins in the city of Pompeii, I visited there a lot along with the Archaeological Museum, and Cy Twombly visited every weekend. He became a very good friend until he died because he loved paint, and talking about paint, Velazquez. He could spend one afternoon talking about the hands of Michelangelo. He had a very good eye, especially for paint.
CT And did you meet Warhol there as well?
MB No, we knew each other mostly in New York, I met him but not really. With Twombly we were good friends in that way. And Twombly was very interested in my work. He said, "It's very weird because most painters are gay and you are not. That's very strange." (_laughter_) Maybe it's true because you know all of this group were gay. Very few were heterosexual in the group around Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, and the others.
CT Just you and Lucian Freud. (_laughter_)
MB I never ask artists if they are gay or not. Do you think it is relevant to their work?
CT No, no.
MB It is just a fact.
CT Yes. I think it gives you a sort of freedom in your twenties and thirties, a freedom from domestic life, the normal business of having to spend a year with a child waking up in the night, I think it really makes a difference. Whereas if in that year you could do nothing instead, or just go for a walk or go to Naples.
MB Cy Twombly had a family before that.
CT Oh yeah, he had both.
MB But in Naples in this time, it was very good because I started to work in galleries and was able to compare my work to contemporary artists that I liked. That's more important than to be alone on the island. And after that I went to Paris just with the idea of spending the summer and making an exhibition with Yvon Lambert in September. But Paris had fantastic studios and they gave me a 5,000 square meter 19th century church; it was huge to me and was like, wow. Near the Pantheon.
CT You mean they gave you a church as a studio?
MB Yes, as a studio. In the beginning I was near the Bastille in a big place, but two months after my show was finished, someone proposed that I use this big church for some years, and that's why I stayed in Paris. It's a little bit cold in the winter, but having this church was the best studio I could ever have. I could use the side chapels and the front big one; I could make paintings for the side chapels as well. All the paintings of libraries and Louvre interiors are from that time. Libraries, Louvre interiors, movie theaters, you see the movies paintings with the black screen?
CT Ah yes, that's a wonderful painting of the interior of the cinema and the light.
MB That looks very much like a church, which I transformed into a movie theater. That's '84. But Paris, for me, is always likeable. I love movies; I would see more than one movie a day. I loved the bookshops and talking with the owners. I am friends with several of them in Paris. In Barcelona, it is a different town. Paris is a fantastic town for movie theaters, bookstores, museums, flea markets, and bars. I love all those things. New York too, but it is too cold and distant for me.
CT When you began to paint the bullrings or when you made these new portraits, you have a tradition going back very far that so many other people—for example Velazquez or even Picasso—have worked within—
MB Since I just saw the Velazquez show in Madrid, it is very present in my mind. But I think yesterday was the first time I thought, Oh I think my portraits are a little bit like Velazquez, which is probably true, but I never had thought of that.

CT So when you're working, you don't think? There is never any weight on you?
MB No, never. Now I recognize things from the past in my work. It is never voluntary though, I never make citations.
CT I was thinking more that, say, if a poet writes an elegy, that they have on their mind the other elegies, elegies written in the 16th century, 19th century, or the 20th century. You feel that you're actually part of a tradition of writing an elegy.
MB I think it is very unlike poetry. I never have the feeling to make a citation, and after when they see my paintings my friends say, "Well you can make a relationship with the Jasper Johns targets, etc." But I never consider this in the moment of painting, never.
CT Because you're too busy with your hand?
MB I don't like the idea to make a citation, probably in the beginning…
CT When you say a citation do you mean an open visual reference?
MB Yes.
CT You don't do that.
MB No, if something seems too obvious, I remove it.
CT Really.
MB In the beginning the painting of libraries are very obvious—the name of the books, and authors, like Borges. I prefer when it is not so obvious. But there is a lot probably that is involuntary; I like those not-so-evident references more.
CT How do you feel that people who are younger than you, who are visual artists, are not painting?
MB Oh I have many friends that are very curious about paint because it does a magic thing.
CT But there are so many people that just don't paint anymore.
MB Yeah, it's very strange no?
CT That's like saying you write short stories but you don't write novels. Oh come on. You could do it.
MB People make drawings, not paintings. It's funny because one of the artists said, well—you know I am very interested in art from 55,000 years ago, more and more. I think I have a career in the past. I visit these caves all the time and am part of the scientific committee of the Chauvet cave…
CT So you go to those caves?
MB Yes, many times. Even for research they are asking me to help to recommend them, and it is a great pleasure for me to go to the caves. Anyways in talking to this young artist I know, a very good friend, they were saying to me, "Well all those caves, they are drawings not paintings." (_laughter_) It's so tricky you know because it is kilograms of color falling down with the hands, they practically are fabulous paintings.

CT But you don't work with pencil.
MB With pencil? I do, yes.
CT Oh, in the notebooks, but you are always adding things in the paintings, they are always becoming in paintings.
MB I like to invent the materials. I think it is a part of my job, to invent new techniques. The right technique for everything.
CT Talk to me about the white paintings, the new paintings that are white. Just technically, how you do them.
MB The ones of the waves? I put the color and after I just… (_begins flipping through book_) It is simple, always very simple. I just let gravity pull. That's one of the white paintings in the moment that I spread it. Maybe there are twenty kilograms of paint in each line. And after I put the canvas and just tilt it and the paint pours and moves slowly. Sometimes it is so heavy; the painting is so huge so sometimes it is hard to tilt. Here you see the circular paintings, which is another business. It is like an explosion. There is sun and shadow.
CT It is a bullring—sun and shadow, two parts of a bullring. You pay more money for shadow if you are going to a bullfight in Spain.
MB There is very little shadow; it is all sun. The sun is like the Buddhist circles in fire.
CT So what did you use to make the circle… your hand?
MB Yes, I love to make circles with my hand. It is not perfect.
CT You don't use a brush?
MB Sometimes. Sometimes I use a brush to finish the work. Here I remember making the circle and turning the canvas.
CT So you turn it around and the paint does the work for you.
MB Yes. This one is sol, sol. Sun, sun. It is half of an arena with sun places.
CT So there is half sand on the top.
MB And it is falling down.

It was in 1981 and I was a sophomore in art school when I first encountered Chuck Close's work at a show called Contemporary American Realism Since 1960. I was struck by how it didn't resemble any of the other work in the show.

The application store market is still nascent, but it is evolving quickly. Apple reinvented the distribution of products and services on mobile phones, opening up direct-to-consumer opportunities for nontelecom companies. A plethora of new stores will try to replicate this success, adding more fragmentation to the market in the next two to three years. However, in the longer run, few will be able to offer brands and publishers the reach that they want — nor the reporting and merchandising tools that they need. Before succumbing to application hype and increasing costs by porting their services to many platforms, product strategists need to define their mobile road map. This means defining a mobile business model, anticipating technology evolution, and taking a step back before putting all their eggs in the downloadable app basket.


Have you look closely to Bali's map , there are separate island between Bali's main island, so have you think there's any tourist object?
Well exactly, the small island located next to the main island of Bali is Nusa Lembongan, Ceningan and Penida. If viewed from the entire map of Bali, will be seen three islands such as the island of Bali island where the region of Lembongan is less than Nusa Penida and larger than Ceningan. Almost every inch of the region in Bali is a beautiful tourist attraction. Proven in this small island in Bali, is a very stunning beach tourism and not less with beach tourism on the island Menjangan. Unfortunately, unlike other tours in Bali, before getting to the tourist attractions Lembongan we have to pass the sea is quite far with the distance of about 30-40 minutes. But when you get to the destination, it will pay off when you see the beautiful view of the sea in this Lembongan.
Lembongan has a length of 4.6 km and width of 1-1.5 km is located about 11 km southeast of Bali. Administratively, this island belongs to Klungkung Regency, Bali Province, Indonesia.
To get to the location of Lembongan island, you have to cross the strait of Badung with the help of ships that are sure to wait for you to cross to Lembongan. But it's good you order first ship which you will ride for crossings to Lembongan so you do not wait for the ships to be sailing, what else fitting the holidays will be a lot of tourists who will visit to Lembongan. Arthamas Express is the best fast boat service in Sanur , you can choose Arthamas Express to go to Lembongan with.
Usually the main purpose of foreign tourists to come to Lembongan is to conduct the activities of surveying, diving and snorkeling amazing. How not, on one side of the island is famous for its waves that fit for the activities of surfing. So also with the beauty of the underwater, beautiful fish that adorn the ocean can be found by doing snorkeling and diving activities.
There will be many rental services of snorkeling, diving and surving vessels on this island of Lembongan. But if you already enjoy what it feels like a vacation on the beach Lembongan, it's good you start the adventure with a tour around the island nusa lembongan. Not until it takes time-day days, just one day enough to enjoy the entire tourist attraction on the island of Lembongan is to hire the services of motorcycles are widely available there. Tips for those of you who will vacation to Lembongan, it's good you bring cash from the cash carrying ATM card. Because the island is only available 1 ATM outlets that must have been busy used by foreign tourists.
Lembongan consists of places of climbs and cliffs, unlike other islands whose contours are flat. From the harbor you take the right lane and go up the ramp, upstairs you will see many seats are lined up, it is true that it is a cafe that has been provided for you to enjoy the atmosphere at the top of the island of Lembongan.
From the top of that hill, you can see the beautiful scenery Lembongan, almost the whole region of Lembongan you can see through the hill. In fact you will see the island of Bali on top of a majestic mountain that stands majestically above it.
Continuing from Bukit Panorama(Panoramic Hill), you follow the big road that tracks down and uphill. We will head to the beach of Dream Beach which is said to be a beach that is suitable for surfers. If you are afraid of being misguided, it's good to ask the locals who are there. Do not be shy guys, because the inhabitants are very friendly if asked directions to the location of the tourist attraction, because it is a signpost that shows the location of the attraction there is very minimal so vulnerable misguided.
Toward Dream Beach Beach you will pass one step again that is the cliff that covered this beach. Because indeed this beach is under the cliff. But from above you will be able to see the beach with big waves rolling. It is suitable for those of you who are happy with the activities of surfing or surfing.
Lembongan Island is surrounded with mangrove forest that serves to hold big waves to get to the mainland. Apparently this mangrove forest can be used as a charming tourist attractions. If you start from the harbor, you simply take the left lane and follow the existing path to the end of the road.
You will find some resident boats ready to take you around the mangrove forest.

The $8bn refinery proposed by Africa's richest man and President, Dangote Group, Alhaji Aliko Dangote, would be located at the Olokola Free Trade Zone, Ondo State, the PUNCH has reported. .
The paper attributed the story to a senior official of the company, who asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak on the matter.
According to the report, one of the factors considered for the location of the refinery, according to the source, is that it is the biggest deep seaport in the country and other big industries are located there; besides, Ondo is one of the oil producing states in the country.
The source added that stable crude oil supply was also a vital element in the choice of the location for the refinery because Chevron and a number of other oil producers had oil fields in the oil-rich region of the state.
On why Lagos was not chosen, industry analysts said though the state was a coastal state, Dangote would have to build pipelines to transfer crude from oil fields to the refinery, thereby incurring additional expenses.
The source explained that necessary approvals had been secured for the refinery, adding that the Dangote Group was just waiting for the necessary equipment with which to build the refinery to arrive.
Another source told our correspondent that Dangote, who was listed on Monday as the first African entrepreneur to lay claim to a $20bn fortune and one of the 25 richest men in the world, would put down $4bn of his personal fortune to build the refinery, while international financial institutions had raised the balance.
Dangote had in April announced plans to invest up to $8bn in building an oil refinery with capacity for around 400,000 barrels a day by late 2016.
The capacity, experts had said, would almost double Nigeria's current refining strength.
'This will really help not only Nigeria but sub-Saharan Africa. There has not been a new refinery for a long time in sub-Saharan Africa,' Dangote had told Reuters in a telephone interview.
Nigeria currently has the capacity to produce some 445,000 barrels per day in four refineries, which operate well below that owing to decades of mismanagement and corruption in Africa's leading energy producer.
The country relies on subsidised imports for 80 per cent of its fuel needs.
Dangote said the country's ability to import fuel would soon be challenged.
'In five years, when our population is over 200 million, we won't have the infrastructure to receive the amount of fuel we use. It has to be done,' he said.
Past efforts to build refineries have often been delayed or cancelled, but analysts have said Dangote should be able to build a profitable Nigerian refinery, owing to his past successes in industry and his strong government connections.
Analysts have said previous attempts to get the refineries going were held back by vested interests such as fuel importers profiting from the status quo.
'The people who were supposed to invest in refineries, who understand the market, are benefiting from there being no refineries because of the fuel import business. Some are going to try to interfere,' Dangote said.
He said making a new refinery run at a profit would work even if the government failed to scrap the subsidised fuel price that has deterred others from investing.
'We've done our numbers and the numbers are okay,' he said.
Dangote, who spoke on the sidelines of the recent World Economic Forum on Africa in Cape Town, South Africa, said he had secured $4.25bn loans from banks to build the refinery.
He said the loan was secured from 'two offshore banks and some Nigeria
