If you seriously consider buying one, read our unbiased DreamCloud Mattress review below to help you decide if it's the right mattress for you. Check them out!
Representing the latest in hybrid mattress technology, the new DreamCloud combines traditional springs with multi-layers of foam, latex, gel and cashmere to offer a premium bedtime experience.
Getting a good night's sleep should be the least we could ask for, but in today's fast-paced society this isn't always a given. Our constant striving for better sleep has driven advancements in mattress technology at a rapid rate, as manufacturers try to find the perfect formula.
Recently dropping onto the online market, the DreamCloud comes with an evocative name that sets high expectations, and is armed with a checklist of the latest in hi-tech bedding materials.
The right mattress stays in your home for longer than most pieces of furniture, and it takes time and fore-knowledge to make the right decision.
To save you time, we've put together an in-depth review of the DreamCloud Hybrid mattress.
We will break down everything you need to know, and equip you with the knowledge required to make the right choice when it comes to a luxury, modern mattress.
Aside from the hand-tufted stitched handles, a few highlights of this mattress includes flax yarns, cashmere, and it has a 365 night trial period in case you decide to return it, and of course, a reasonable price to boot.
DreamCloud has been engineered with 8 distinct layers of handcrafted super premium materials to envelop the dreamer in a plush, pressure free, and dream-filled sleep.
The DreamCloud is a much more firm mattress compared to the 10″ beds you can find and purchase online for a reasonable price. Spend your money wisely and buy a real luxury mattress. Some companies say things like "in store this would cost $3000", well that's actually true with the DreamCloud as it's a well-built luxury mattress.
The design of this mattress has an authentic traditional feel which utilizes a pocketed coil unit and a nice quilt on top. Thus, it's a good combo of foam and mattress feel.
Want a good combo of bounce and pressure relief. The pairing of memory foam, latex, and the pocketed coils gives you good pressure relief with the memory foam with an added bounce. It has a right balance of firmness and softness.
The DreamCloud had no issues at all with overheating. Being that it uses latex and gel-infused memory foam it does not trap heat much at all. Additionally, since you do not sink super far into the mattress, more of your body is exposed to the air vs being engulfed by the mattress.
Some brands compromise quality and focus more on price. But it's not the case with DreamCloud. It makes quality mattresses with fair and relevant pricing. You get more of what you paid for. It's a real luxury mattress with a reasonable price.
This mattress works well with different sleeping positions and the firmness appeal to most people.
Although you will not have to worry about the sheets, you'll have to look somewhere else if you like a thinner mattress as it is about 15″ thick.
The DreamCloud Mattress renders a more traditional feel than an all-foam mattress will. It also has more bounce. Hence, if you prefer all types of all foam, it will not change your mind.
Although this mattress is not firm, it's not super soft either. It's a balance of both.
Delivery of the DreamCloud mattress is FREE! It is compressed and roll-packed into a cardboard box before being delivered straight to your doorstep. It usually takes 8-10 business days from the time you buy until the bed arrives (but it could be sooner, depending upon your location).
Once you receive the mattress we recommend bringing it to the room you want it in before opening it. After it is in the desired room remove it from the box using scissors to cut the plastic – but be very careful not to damage the fabric of the bed when you do so. Once the plastic is cut free you can watch your bed expand! It will be fully expanded within 24 hours or so, but you will be able to sleep on it before then.
DreamCloud take the delivery service one step further with their White Glove delivery service. They state on their website that they will hand deliver the mattress to your desired room and set it up for you. They will also clear up all the packaging, and even remove your old mattress so you don't have to.
With their free delivery and commitment to doing the heavy lifting for their customers, the DreamCloud gets full marks in this section.
As the DreamCloud is opened and starts expanding quickly you will only notice a slight 'new mattress' smell. 'Off-Gassing' to me is a slightly misleading term, because no matter what brand you are looking at, they are going to have a smell. Natural and organic mattresses often times have the strongest smell, even though people associate them with no gassing.
A smell is normal and no matter what brand you buy there will be some smell. I associate it with a new car or a new shoe smell. In most cases the smell will either be gone or very faint within 12-36 hours. I would recommend using a mattress protector; so once the mattress airs out you should apply your protector under your sheets, and by then there should barely be any smell at all.
For maximum effect, stand the mattress up on its own to allow it to air better, but at the end of the day, the 'new bed smell' is just a normal part of buying a mattress.
With that said, the compartmentalised, hybrid design of the DreamCloud actually results in less off-gassing than typical, modern memory-foam mattresses.
The DreamCloud mattress is already impressive enough with its whopping 15 inches tall profile, that of which is exceptional for a mattress. Its eight-layer construction comprises of wrapped coil components and foam, which seamlessly to provide the sleeper with a comfortable pressure relief and firm innerspring lift.
This layer is 2″ of TrueTufted cashmere top cover that provides comfort and the luxurious aesthetic to the mattress. The DreamCloud is hand tufted which is something that you usually find in mattresses costing 3 or 4 times more.
This layer is .5″ of Gel Infused Memory Foam that provides a cooling effect to the top layers of the mattress.
This 1.75″ layer of soft Quilted Memory Foam designed to provide pressure relief and comfort.
This layer is .5″ of natural hypoallergenic latex designed to provide bounce and contour.
This .25″ layer of DreamPlush supportive memory foam that provides additional body contouring.
This layer .5″ of DreamPlush is a high-density supportive memory foam that works to provide a transition layer between the upper comfort layers and the lower coil support layer.
This layer is an 8″ high-quality steel pocketed innerspring coils with 5-zone layers that provide exceptional support to the body. It has a varying stiffness that depends on the zone which gives you the support where it is needed most.
This layer is a final 1.5″ of high density extremely soft memory foam that provides the foundation layer of the mattress with deep compression support.
DreamCloud's cashmere cover is breathable, soft and is tufted into the other layers to prevent bunching.
The manufacturing of DreamCloud mattress can be considered as artisanal. Artisan stitchers hand-anchor a EuroTop to dense foam base by using authentic double tufts, a stitch that gives unmatched craftsmanship and lasting durability.
In case you don't know, double tufting is a distinct process of affixing the mattress layers from top to bottom to create a unique mattress with both soft and firm feel. Apart from its first-rate composition, the cover is made more explicit with its golden hue and plush hand tufting.
This impressive mattress will work great on any solid surface. The floor, platform slats, box spring or foundation and they now offer an adjustable base as well.
It will work on an adjustable base but if you are looking to bend it a ton to site straight up, it might be a little thick to work with. But it will bend to a point just fine if you are looking for partial elevation.
The DreamCloud aims as high as the clouds in its name, with 8 layers of premium bedding materials that combine to produce a weightless, serene sleep.
The pocketed coil base is quiet enough to make you forget it's there, but when you lay down on the mattress you will definitely feel the benefit it provides. The springs provide a support base for the multi-layered memory foam on top, allowing for better pressure-relief than purely memory-foam mattresses.
The coils are contained in 5 zones throughout the mattress, which means the right part of the mattress responds at the right moment, without bending and warping the entire surface. This can be felt the moment you sit on the mattress – it takes your weight comfortably without creating a giant sink-hole that makes everything roll towards you.
DreamCloud advertise the mattress as a 6.5 on the firmness scale, which they describe as the sweet spot between too soft and too firm. This matches with the horde of online reviewers who praise the mattress's ability to 'hug you', while still being firm enough to provide good back and muscle support.
The first thing you'll notice about the mattress is the tufted surface which actually resembles a network of little clouds. The 'clouds' on the surface are made out of a highly breathable, super-soft cashmere, and you will still feel the benefit of these even of you decide to use a mattress-protector.
The DreamCloud can be used with any base, or no base. It can be used on the floor, on a slatted bed, and even on adjustable beds.
Overall, the DreamCloud delivers a level of comfort in line with its luxury reputation and premium price.
While the amount of motion experienced on any given mattress will be subject to individual weight, the DreamCloud achieves a great level of overall stability while remaining responsive on the surface.
The foam layers amount to 9.5 inches, with 2 inches of cashmere on top. The sheer amount of grip and friction created by these layers is key in reducing motion and sinkage. With the new Hybrid mattresses you get the motion isolation normally associated with memory-foam mattresses, combined with the structural bounce and strength of a spring-mattress.
The DreamCloud is a pleasure to move around, whether you're sitting, sleeping, working, or just propped up on your elbow watching the television.
It easily supports a couple, with not much partner disruption. For those of you who allow your dog on your bed, the disruption felt by your pet's movement will be kept to a minimum.
It's all well and good having a good mattress, but are you getting the whole mattress? A high edge support rating is a sign of quality, and means you're getting the most bounce for your buck. You wouldn't buy a set of curtains that only covered the center of the window, and you wouldn't buy a bed that only functioned properly in the middle.
With that in mind, the DreamCloud has incorporated an extra foam support around the edges. Meanwhile, the tightly bound nature of the foam layers on top of the springy coil means the entire bed is able to be used comfortably.
Most common mattresses will suffer around the edges with prolonged use. But Hybrid mattresses have a leg up with their combination of foam and coils. The DreamCloud lives up to its premium reputation in terms of its edge support. There is no danger of rolling off the edge, or feeling hemmed in by weak edges on this mattress.
The DreamCloud is one of the most awe inspiring bed in a box options I have reviewed so far. At 15″ thick it's surprising they find a way to roll pack it and sip it in a box and still use quality materials.
DreamClouds sheer thickness and quality invokes luxury & for not much more than and less than many of their competitors.
The DreamCloud Mattress impressed me for the following reasons.
A.) The overall build and quality was above average. How much mattress is there is amazing and the fact that fits in a box is crazy!
D.) It has been one of my favorite hybrid mattresses thus far. This is going into the top picks list for sure.
E.) The handles make it easy to spin and move around. I recommend doing this very few months.
F.) Lifetime warranty & 365 Night trial give you some peace of mind and is pretty much unheard of in the industry. This is a massive perk.
Overall the DreamCloud is built extremely well for the price. It is a high end mattress with a fair price. Additionally, it should work well for the majority of sleepers put there in terms of comfort and firmness level.
I think this is also a great option for heavier sleepers too since its built very well and thick.
DreamCloud has stepped it up with the release of their mattress. It seems many of the new companies are doing so by coming out with more legit mattresses like a store would sell VS just a wimpy thin foam mattress.
The DreamCloud is not super soft but still performed well for me. I generally like a soft mattress so I sink in a bit more but the DreamCloud still felt great for my weight 125lbs even though its not super soft.
The mattress has a very high end look and feel. The cover is nice (although we cover it up with a protector and sheets).
Being that I help Ross move these around all the time the handles on DreamCloud were a huge help for me.
I would recommend anyone wanting to try a hybrid mattress. Those people who are looking for a legitimate mattress that is going to hold up should try it. It was very supportive, slept cool and there was not a lot of motion transfer when Ross moved around.
It was definitely one of the nicest bed in a box we have experienced so far.
not much to compare to I've never slept on a hybrid other than this. I'm not obsessed like everyone else is with this mattress but I do sleep well and have no complaints. good mattress.
Temperature is one of the most important aspects that should be considered when buying a mattress. A quick glance at online review sites, for any mattress, will reveal that sleeping temperature is one of the most hotly contested issues.
Thankfully, the DreamCloud takes this into account and utilizes a combination of technologies to ensure maximum temperature regulation and air-flow.
A top layer of foam infused with cooling-gel works to absorb and dissipate heat without holding onto it.
The latex layer, while mainly purposed to provide the comfort and responsiveness of the mattress, is also crucial in allowing for heat regulation. The latex is aerated and breathable, allowing heat to move uninterrupted throughout the mattress, without becoming trapped 'between the sheets'.
To top it off, the quilted cashmere cover is also highly breathable and makes air-circulation much more efficient.
Also, it's worth noting that since this is a hybrid, any heat contained within the mattress will also have a chance to escape via the coil-springs at the bottom.
The DreamCloud excels in dealing with heat and regulating temperature. The manufacturers also clearly believe in this feature, as they proclaim it front and center on their website, where they urge customers to 'Sleep cool'.
As far as this review is concerned, the DreamCloud succeeds in keeping it cool during the night.
Although we didn't film the DreamCloud on a base you can be sure it will to a point. If you are looking to only elevate partially it will be fine. If you like to site straight up it may be a little to thick to perform the way you would like.
When it comes to trials and warranty DreamCloud offer some pretty top of the range deals. They try to advertise themselves as luxurious suppliers for affordable prices – and they live up to their reputation. When you buy this mattress you receive a full 365 day no-risk trial, meaning you can keep the bed for the whole year round before you buy it, if you so choose. This safety period means you can lie on the thing for a whole year just to see if it is right for you, and you can't really argue with that.
Secondly, the DreamCloud team offer a lifetime guarantee on this product, meaning that for as long as you own it, it's covered. They call it the "Everlong" guarantee, and if anything happens to your mattress they will replace it. Companies that offer this kind of warranty show a high level of confidence in their product, and it hints that these mattresses were built to last.
Thirdly they offer a free one-time conditioning service after a year of ownership, where they will come out and clean the mattress for you professionally. This service remains available thereafter but you will need to pay for future cleanings.
With all the perks of buying this mattress we felt it only fair to give it a high score.
DreamCloud is a no stranger to the industry having another successful brand in the industry. The hybrid is a new launch for them and they set out to design one of the top mattresses you can buy online for a reasonable price. They have a hard to beat warranty, trial period and other perks to throw your way too such as free mattress cleaning etc.

Dr Giri Kattel
Dr Giri Kattel is an ecologist and paleoecologist with more than 15 years of experience working on a wide range of ecological projects in Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. His ground-breaking research focuses on climate change and human disturbances in lakes and reservoirs and has seen Giri pioneer new investigative approaches in subfossil cladocerans in both hemispheres.
When investigating the impacts of recent global warming and climate change on mountain lake ecosystems in north-west Europe as part of the European Mountain Lakes Research (EMERGE) program, Giri took an innovative approach, using subfossil assemblages of cladocerans. He developed a calibration set for summer lake surface water temperature (LSWT) followed by the creation of a cladoceran-based temperature transfer function. The use of this method to reconstruct the summer LSWT was the first of its kind in north-western Europe.
During his affiliation with the University of Auckland's School of Environment where he worked on the study of cladoceran-inferred paleoclimate change reconstruction of the Auckland maar lake over the past 30,000 – 9000 cal. years BP, Giri also became the first scientist to use cladoceran subfossils for reconstructing climate change in maar lakes of mid latitude Southern Hemisphere, New Zealand.
Giri is excited to be involved in the CRN program and believes it will be the ideal platform for both national and international research collaboration in climate and water. His goal is to set up a research laboratory at FedUni, which will connect with a strong global scientific community to understand the impacts of rapidly changing environment including climate change on ecosystems and humanity as whole in Australia and elsewhere.
Over the past two years Giri has initiated research collaborations with number of national and international scientists. Currently he leads projects on the use of paleolimnological approaches on ecosystem services of the Yangtze River floodplain lakes with Nanjing Institute of Geography and Limnology (NIGLAS-CAS). He is also working on Blue Mountain Fire and Climate Change research program in collaboration with the University of New South Wales (UNSW), as well as the management of water quality issues of the Port Phillip Bay, Victoria in collaboration with Deakin University and the Victorian Environment Protection Agency (EPA). Recently Giri has begun collaborations with Dr Marie Perga from the French National Research for Agricultural Research (INRA) on the use of stable isotopes in past food web and climate change research in wetlands.
In 2009 Giri joined the Murray Darling Freshwater Research Centre (MDFRC) at Mildura Campus of La Trobe University. Through these projects he became well-apprised of the wide range of problems associated with shallow floodplains lakes ecology and biodiversity conservation and management across the Murray Darling Basin. This work led to an opportunity to collaborate with FedUni's Prof Peter Gell, and from 2011, Giri and Prof Gell have directed a research focus on the use of paleolimnological approaches to understand the resilience of floodplain lake ecosystems in the MDB.
Giri was awarded a Visiting Scientist Fellowship from the GEOCYCLE Research Excellence Cluster of the University of Mainz, Germany, where he investigated human-climate interactions in Eifel Maar lakes during the Roman period Europe. He received the second Visiting Scientist Fellowship from the German Research Council (DFZ) to investigate paleo-food web dynamics of the former Eocene lake Messel while being at the Senckenberg Natural History Museum, Frankfurt.

Have you ever tried to give up sugar, cigarettes, and sleeping pills, go on a diet, coffee, or that one after dinner drink and failed? Did you fail because the cravings were horrific and your brain kept telling you one more cookie won't hurt? If you answered yes, than you have a bit of a clue what if feels like for your child when he/she has a setback otherwise known as an S.L.I.P. (Sobriety loses its priority).
The journey into recovery from addiction is not typically a straight line from Addiction to Recovery; it can be a path of in and out of detox facilities, treatment centers, jail etc.
It is important that parents do not take their child's setback personally and rather than engaging in toxic behavior figure out how to take care of yourself during that trying time and how to support your child. It is normal for a parent to work at helping their child to regain their health; however, it's quite often that parent's works harder at their child's recovery than their child does; including sacrificing your own needs and wants.
1. Let your child be the one to seek help and Do Not try to guilt or shame your son/daughter back into treatment.
2. Stand firm on your boundaries and hold your child accountable for his/her recovery.
3. Suggest that your son/daughter talk to his/her counselor or sponsor and go to a support group meeting.
4. DO NOT dismiss the setback and DO NOT make excuses for your son/daughter. It is imperative in his/her recovery that he/she owns what happened.
5. Be supportive without enabling. Parents often ask why they can't have a drink in their own home, the answer is, and if your child is allergic to strawberries would you have them in your home? If you answered yes, than why would you have something in your home that your child is allergic to?
6. Be optimistic, talk about positive outcomes, positive lifestyle and how treatment and recovery housing can help your son/daughter learn coping skills to overcome their addiction.
7. Don't dismiss the problem, in other words don't make excuses for your son/daughter because it's imperative that he/she owns their behavior.
8. Don't get discouraged, setbacks happen and it does not mean that their past times in treatment didn't work, it's as simple as they were unable to implement the tools and coping skills that they learned.
9. Be the example of what healthy living is, live your life.
Are You Freaked Out? by Donna M.


Unfortunately, in Championship on Sunday football schedule, there have two fixtures from there. England, Championship action between the teams of Bristol City and Blackburn Rovers. The game will be held in Ashton Gate Stadium, Bristol City, England.
The home side has seen under 2.5 goals in five of their last six games against the team of Blackburn in all competitions. Moreover, the guests are undefeated in their last five games in Championship.
Both sides have started the new season in a similar way, two draws. Blackburn Rovers got their 1st win in matchday 3 against the team of Hull City and their 2nd in the previous game, beating Brentford an aristocratic outcome 1:0. The home side suffered a defeat but have managed to pull themselves up and win in their last two games at home ground, beating QPR 0:3 and Swansea 0:1 away from home, keeping two clean sheets as well.
The Austrian, Andreas Weimann has been prolific so far for the Robins, scoring five goals out of the seven they scored as a team in five matches. He will be the key to unlocking Blackburn's defence and giving them their first loss this year. It's going to be a nervy game, so we predict a draw with a few goals.


Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user steve.
Can anyone help me with this? I have been trying to find an answer for days, even if I knew what files this command was trying to modify I might be able to edit it manually or even know whether or not the file is there.
Are you running that as root? I'm doubting you could make the changes yourself; it likely encrypts password somehow. I have some experience with Samba (just set up PDC), but never heard of SAM; please birefly explain or provide link. Good luck!
I never heard of it either but I managed to get everything working. If you go to Mozilla and enter"http://localhost:10000" that will take you to where every service can be configured. This may only be a function of Mandrake as I can't do that in Red Hat.

That is webmin . . . great for setting up almost everything you want to do in linux. Go to. . .
and get the version for Redhat, install as root, tehn you can go to localhost:10000 on that machine or http://ip_of_Redhatmachine:10000 and do it from any computer on the network . . . have fun!

NGC 1409 es una galaxia espiral en interacción con NGC 1410, ambas en la constelación de Tauro. Entre ellas, existe lo que parece ser un conducto de gas siendo canalizado de NGC 1410 a su compañera. Este «gasoducto» viaja alrededor de 20 000 años luz de una galaxia a la otra y en su extremo se envuelve alrededor de NGC 1409, generando un hipotético aumento significante de nacimientos de estrellas en esta galaxia. El origen de este pasaje de gas se calcula hace 100 millones de años, aunque su funcionamiento es aún incierto.

While some race ahead with elbows out to get the Spring 2018 collections behind their closet doors, other savvy customers are still content in the 'now'. Kuwaiti designer Bazza Alzouman talks Vogue.me through the current offering; a strong line-up of dramatic yet feminine eveningwear that'll prove to see you through the late winter wedding season and beyond.
"My designs are usually done in neutral colors and modern silhouettes but there is always a flair of opulence or an intricate detail, which I attribute to my cultural heritage," Alzouman tells Vogue Arabia. "Kuwait's traditional clothing involved a lot of gold thread, which I use a lot in my work. I also always err on the side of modesty in my designs." After graduating from Parsons School of Design in New York in 2012, Alzouman has explored free-flowing fabrics and garment architecture featuring movement. "There are a few couture techniques that I have used in the construction of the garments. There is a lot of work going on beneath the dresses in this collection. I also relied heavily on draping in the design process; more so than I have done in the past," she says.
For the Fall 2017 collection, the Kuwaiti designer used a mix of fabrics, including gazars and jacquards, with riffs of draping that added a playful, sensual edge to garments. From gowns worthy of the red carpet to ballerina-style pieces with ruffle details, there's a sequence of fashion theatrics at play here. "I wanted to explore structure and fluidity as portrayed by classical marble carvings of Greek goddesses," the designer says.

NEW YORK PREVIEW: BOY GEORGE
By Vogue 4 February 2005
** JENNIFER LOPEZ ** isn't the only celeb taking a first foray onto the catwalk in New York this week. ** Boy George**, a regular front rower, is also launching his B-Rude line. George, whose real name is George O'Dowd, has kept his designs out of the limelight so far in a bid to be regarded not just in a celebrity light. "It will be slightly humorous, but I'm quite keen on being taken seriously," he tells WWD. "We've been careful to not get too much publicity until we were ripe to manufacture because that's where you can go really wrong." The line, which is already sold in Patricia Field's House of Venus store, is the result of a collaboration between George, Mike Nicolls, who created the costumes for Taboo and used to work with Thierry Mugler, and corsetmaker Mr Pearl. Despite regarding London as home, George says he always wanted to show in New York. "Doing new things is a lot easier in New York," he goes on. "And you don't have that kind of London cynicism."

South Carolina Ports Authority purchases 1,000 acres of land in Dorchester County
by: Stetson Miller
Posted: Nov 2, 2018 / 12:29 AM EDT / Updated: Nov 12, 2018 / 03:22 PM EST
The South Carolina Ports Authority has purchased a nearly 1,000-acre industrial tract near Ridgeville.
The port bought the land to support import and export growth and distribution. It could also bring more jobs and business to Dorchester County.
The land, named the Ridgeville Industrial Campus, was purchased from WestRock in June and is located near the intersection of Highway 78 and South Carolina Highway 27. It is in a desirable location for business, in close proximity to the Volvo plant in Berkley County and a Norfolk Southern Railway line.
For the last 8 years, Dorchester County Economic Development has been working to turn the site into a hub for manufacturing. The purchase of the industrial park by the port may make that more of a reality now.
"We think it is a big deal that the Ports Authority is on it and they're known for being very aggressive," said John Truluck, the director for Dorchester County Economic Development. "They would not be seeing the growth that they're already seeing if they weren't."
The plan is to sell parts of the land to different companies that would use it for manufacturing and distribution, activity that could help the port.
Much of the land is made of wooded areas right now. There is infrastructure development happening on the property but most of it will remain unchanged until an interested company starts to invest and can develop it to fit their needs.
Last year, the first company to begin operations on the site started building. Indian auto parts manufacturer Sundaram-Clayton will soon open its facility at the industrial park. The company invested $50 million dollars and is expected to create 130 new jobs.
The county and Ports Authority are hoping other companies will follow suit.
"We've known for a while that Ridgeville is the bull's-eye of the growth pattern of the region," said Truluck. "Now its incumbent upon us here in Dorchester County and the Ports Authority to continue and even ramp up the selling of that site."

Q: How much more CpS do kittens give? The upgrade for Kitten helpers says you gain more CpS the more milk I have. What is the exact amount that the kittens give? (just the percentage is ok)

A: There are 5 different kitten upgrades, with them being named Kitten helpers, Kitten workers, Kitten engineers, Kitten overseers, and Kitten managers.
The Kitten helpers upgrade gives you a bonus of 5% per 100 percentage points of milk (Ex. 1.05x for 100pp milk)
The Kitten workers upgrade gives you a bonus of 10% per 100 percentage points of milk (Ex. 1.10x for 100pp milk)
The Kitten engineers upgrade gives you a bonus *6*of 20% per 100 percentage points of milk (Ex. 1.20x for 100pp milk)
The Kitten overseers upgrade gives you a bonus of 20% per 100 percentage points of milk (Ex. 1.20x for 100pp milk)
The Kitten managers upgrade gives you a bonus of 20% per 100 percentage points of milk (Ex. 1.20x for 100pp milk)
Remember, the upgrades stack multiplicatively, so the fourth will give a bigger boost than the third.

OKLAHOMA CITY - A shooting at a northwest Oklahoma City convenience store sends a man to the hospital, and police are still searching for a suspect.
"When we got here, we found the clerk had been shot and the suspect was gone," said Lt. Ron Hendricks, Oklahoma City Police.
Police say a man robbed the RN Quick Stop & Cigarette Mall, near NW 29th and Portland, getting away with an unknown amount of cash.
You can see on the surveillance video, the suspect points a gun at clerk, and fires. The clerk was reportedly shot multiple times, with gunshot wounds in his arm and stomach.
The suspect then runs around the counter, taking money out of the register. Police spent the afternoon canvassing the area for any sign of the suspect.
"We had a K-9 on the ground. They weren't able to do much. With the wind, the condition it is and the number of people being out, they were not able to locate the suspect. We also had Air 1 up. They also were not able to locate," Hendricks said.
A witness said they saw the suspect running east through the parking lot right after the shooting. Now the owner is just concerned for his employee.
The victim was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Police said he is expected to survive.
If you have any information, you're asked to call OKC Police.

1. Solar Panels - In most home DIY installations these panels will be built by you from individual parts. You can order discount photovoltaic cells online, and assemble these into complete 80W, 100W, or 120W Solar Panels. But if you do not have the time or skills to build a solar panel from scratch, there are plenty of commercially available panels to choose from. Once built, individual panels are wired together to make larger solar arrays.
2. Solar Array Disconnect - This is basically just an electrical switch but is an important part of the system. It allows you to disconnect and cut-off the DC power output from your solar panels and array should any repairs be required or if there is a problem with the solar system. This disconnect switch needs to be strong enough to handle the full power output from the panels on a bright sunny day.
3. Battery Charge Controller - Most home solar systems are built with a battery backup included for when the sun does not shine such as on dull days or at night. The battery charge controller ensures that a consistent amount of electrical power is sent to the batteries so that they are not over charged, and to ensure that the backup batteries do not discharge back through the system at night. In many ways this component is similar to your automotive battery charger so will not be too expensive.
4. Deep Cycle Batteries - In order to store the solar power generated by your solar panels, your solar system will need deep cycle batteries. Deep cycle batteries are not the same as shallow charge automotive batteries which are designed with thinner lead plates for cars. Deep cycle storage batteries for solar systems are more robust and are designed for the type of charging and discharging cycles they need to endure. New deep cycle batteries are expensive but reconditioned batteries are cheaper. Better still, you may be able to get old dead batteries for free used previously in fork trucks, golf carts, and electric buggies and recondition them yourself.
5. System Power Meter - This can be optional, but it is listed here as its inclusion will give you a clear way to see how much free solar power is being supplied to your home from your solar panels. Having a system power meter also helps you improve your system to gain the maximum efficiency from your solar installation as well as having the advantage of letting your neigbours know how much money your solar system is saving.
6. Solar Power Converter - Your solar panels generate DC power, and your home runs on mains AC power, the solar power converter converts the solar energy from the panels into usable energy in the home by providing the DC to AC conversion using electronic switching techniques. In practical terms, the converter allows us to run electric drills, computers, vacuum cleaners, mains lighting, and most other mains electrical appliances that can be plugged into the wall sockets of your solar panels. There are many square wave, sine wave modified wave converters on the market but a good quality 1200W converter likely won't cost you more than $100.
7. Backup Power - This for when the sun does not shine and the batteries are empty. Most systems will include some sort of backup power. In a stand alone installation this would generally be a diesel generator. In a grid-tied system the utility grid itself would provide the backup power through the converter. But a backup power source can also be a wind turbine or a water wheel as part of a small scale hydro system.
Once you have your 7 components installed, your solar power system gets wired into your normal home electrical panel and unless you are qualified, it may be necessary to get a qualified electrician to connect up the system. Now that you know what 7 components you will need to get your home solar energy system up and running the savings made on building your own panels and sourcing the materials will more than pay for the additional qualified help.
So whether you build your own solar panels from scratch or buy pre-made commercial panels, using solar energy to power your home can be easier than you think. With a grid connected system you can even sell excess electricity you do not use back to the utility company who have been selling it to you for all these years giving you an additional income.

Have you ever experienced a situation where your body begins to itch few seconds after contact with water? And after a time-frame of about 2 minutes to 2 hours, it subsides? Today, we will look at few aquagenic pruritus treatment options after getting some basic understanding.
By the way, this condition described above is called Aquagenic Pruritus.
And while this is a difficult topic to discuss because there is little or no information on the causes or even a possible and certain cure to all the cases, we will be discussing the major things you need to know about it and how best to get relieved in this post.
Aquagenic Pruritus. And that is derived from Latin: Aquagenic means water-induced, and pruritus, means itch.
Also, sweating can cause frequent symptoms even in the dry weather.
Aquagenic pruritus is a medical condition where physical contact with water of any temperature (it doesn't matter if the water is hot, warm, or cold) will cause your body to start itching intensely.
This itching however does not produce any physical and visible changes on your skin.
Most times, the itching starts immediately after you touch water and you could experience this itching for close to an hour or even more.
In some cases of Aquagenic pruritus, more than one family member has been diagnosed with the same condition which makes it possible to speculate that it could be hereditary.
It could also be a symptom of Polycythemia Vera which is a cancer in the blood that grows really slowly where your bone marrows start making too many red blood cells. The excessive number of red blood cells make your blood really thick and slows down the flow of blood which could in turn cause blood clots, strokes, or heart attacks.
(Now, I had to define Polycythemia Vera for those who haven't heard of it before or even know it exists).
So, Aquagenic Pruritus could be a symptom of Polycythemia Vera or a host of other medical conditions.
The main symptom of Aquagenic Pruritus would most likely be the itching immediately after contact with water. It does not come with a fever or any other accompanying symptom.
What you'll just notice is that your body itches seriously after you have had your bath or contract with water and you don't see any rashes or lesions on your skin. All you know is that your body itches in certain areas.
The part of the body that gets affected the most are the legs. They itch the most and even more frequently than other parts of the body.
The next in line would be your arms, your chest, your back and your abdominal region. It is quite rare to experience facial itching, itching on the head, the neck or even the hips.
However, your palms will most likely not itch and the same goes for the soles of your feet and the mucous membranes in your body (like your mouth).
There is rarely any other symptom for the diagnosis of Aquagenic Pruritus. So, if you already experience any of the previously mentioned symptoms on a consistent basis, then you might most likely have Aquagenic Pruritus.
You have to go to a medical professional though to get a clear diagnosis before taking matters into your own hands.
This section of the article will be filled plenty of medical jargon but you should know that the main cause of Aquagenic Pruritus has not been discovered and is not known till date.
However, like I mentioned earlier, it could be a symptom of Polycythemia Vera and while you might not have Polycythemia Vera at the moment, you might be diagnosed with the disease in a few years.
Aquagenic Pruritus may also be a symptom of, (and here comes the medical jargon), myeloproliferative neoplasms, Hypereosinophilic syndrome, myelodysplastic syndromes and also juvenile xanthogranuloma.
If you are lactose intolerant or a patient of hepatitis C, then these conditions might induce Aquagenic Pruritus.
A couple of people who have been treated with drugs like Chloroquine (Antimalarial Drug), Clomipramine, Hydroxychloroquine and also Bupropion have been known to suffer a brief period of Aquagenic Pruritus.
In this case, it is known as drug-induced Aquagenic Pruritus.
Other causes of Aquagenic Pruritus could be increased mast cell granulation, release of Acetylcholine, increased circulating histamine and also Increased skin fibrinolytic activity.
It could also be hereditary, though, no particular gene has been found out as the gene that is solely responsible for transferring the trait from parent to offspring yet.
However, if more than one family member has the same issue, it could be a possibility.
Presently, there is no specific test or examination for the diagnosis of Aquagenic Pruritus. The major way for diagnosing the condition is by ruling out other medical conditions.
The first criteria for diagnosis would be the itching after contact with water without any physical reaction on the skin.
It is important that you don't have rashes or any physical reaction on the skin in the course of the itching else it becomes Aquagenic Urticaria.
Other criteria involve ruling out other conditions like any form of skin disease or other medical conditions that have this condition as a symptom.
Take your bath with warm water (hot baths help some people).
Dry your body immediately and very well after bathing. Use the fan or air conditioning.
There are a couple of medical treatments that could help with the itching but a specific treatment for all cases has not been discovered yet because of the scarcity of information surrounding the root cause of the itching.
However, you could use baby oil or any skin softener that repels water just before you take your bath and after you take your bath too.
You could also add sodium bicarbonate the water you would use to bathe.
Your doctor may also treat you with anti-allergy drug, antihistamines drugs, Clonidine, Atenolol, UV therapy or PUVA therapy, and so on.
Your doctor, based on his discretion in managing the symptoms, may use injections, oral drugs or topical creams (like this one).
This medical condition may induce phobia for water, hatred for bathing and even phobia for swimming. Some people also suffer from emotional distress and constant anxiety as a result.
In general, it reduces the quality of life that a person should normally experience but you could make this work.
All you need to do is ensure minimal contact with water and if you have to be somewhere and you need to take a shower, then take that shower a bit early to give time for the itching to subside so you can step out feeling okay and confident.
Have you suffered or do you still suffer from Aquagenic Pruritus? Have you tried any aquagenic pruritus treatment that works for you?

The Flash The Fury of Firestorm Review
In this week's Flash professor Stein was in a interesting situation. Without Ronnie to share the Firestorm ability with it was literally killing him. I find it weird that within the first 30 seconds they found two candidates. Jax Jackson, an apex high school football star whose career was cut short due to the particle accelerator explosion. The second was Henry Hewitt, an egotistical scientist who wanted nothing more than to be a powerful hero. I suppose it was done to speed the story along but it was jarring.
It's weird that Caitlin was so bent on getting Hewitt to be Firestorm without checking any info on him. Also the reason that she didn't want Jax was really flimsy. Franz Drameh excellent as Firestorm and seems like a suitable replacement for Robbie Amel's Firestorm who was not as fleshed out. All said in done this episode felt more like a backdoor pilot for a Firestorm tv show.
The side story this week was Iris finally meeting her mother. I thought it made sense that Iris only wanted to meet her mother to tell her that she wanted nothing to do with her. It plays well into who the character is in not wanting anyone including her mother to hurt her father. I also like that she actually had a reason to come back that made sense. It's going to be real interesting to see how it pans out now that we know Joe may have a son!
He's back!!!!
Now to the good part. Wells is back!!he is slowly being brought back into the show and that's a good thing. Tom Cavanagh is so electric (pun intended) as Wells it's always good to see him back. Now question is what's his motivation. Why did he decide to come and aid this Flash and will there be consequences for this. Also how awesome did King Shark look! Sucks that he was on screen for literally 12 seconds! My only knock on this episode is where is Jay Garrick! After agreeing to stay it's weird that there was no site of him. Overall another solid episode of the Flash.

Who Would Be The Best Person To Win The US Title at Hell In a Cell
John Cena did what many thought couldn't be done. He took the US title, a title that was irrelevant and brought it to the forefront. With incredible matches vs the likes of Neville, Ziggler and even the World Champ, the US title has shined each time. With Hell in a Cell just hours away and John Cena facing a mystery opponent, who would be the best options for him to face.
The Swiss Superman would be a excellent choice to face Cena at Hell in a Cell due to the excellent in ring chemistry they have together. The last time they faced each other for the title is considered by many an instant classic. While he hasn't been getting the push he deserves this could be the opportunity to make things right and let him proves that he deserves to be in the main event scene. There would certainly be a lot of competition for him to go up against. Cesaro has all the right tools to keep the US title open challenge going and also keep fans invested in matches.
New day rocks! New day rocks! The rise of the New Day has been one of the high spots of this year thus far. So why not reward there enforcer with some championship gold. The New Day have been on a tear lately defeating the Dudleys and Cena so it would make sense for Big E not only to get a title shot but to defeat Cena in shocking fashion. This would be a good way to solidify Big E as a main eventer and keep the New Day as a force to be reckoned with.
Samoa Joe! What's a better way of introducing Joe to the roster than having him come out and slaughter John Cena. It would be an amazing moment seeing Joe and Cena in the same ring. When TNA was in its prime this was the match many fans wanted to see. Fans of Joe would love this and casual fans would get to see something new. Joe could easily become a fan favorite and quickly become one of the faces of the company if pushed correctly.
This is the one that most fans (including myself) want. The return of Daniel Bryan would undoubtedly not only steal the show but alone would make the PPV worth a buy. With Cena being gone for a undisclosed period of time who better than Daniel Bryan. Former champ and current fan favorite since his departure fans has left a hole in fans hearts. Bringing him back could be the shot in the arm the WWE needs.
Stephen Amell… because why not! Lol

The Flash Family of Rogues Review
Sooooooo,
Joe has a crappy (alive) wife, Barry has a coffee named after him
and Captain Cold has been kidnapped! Just another day in the life of the Flash! Wentworth Miller continues to excel as Leonard Snart aka Captain Cold. This time it's up to the Flash to supposedly save Cold as he has been kidnapped.
Peyton List does an adaquate job as Lisa Snart. Displaying the right amount of concern as she ask the Flash to find her brother. She also showed more concern when she found out her dad is the one who he is actually working with. There's a touching moment between Lisa and Cisco which if done correctly could have a good payoff. I'm looking forward to see where the show goes with those two characters. Gustin and Miller continues to have the great chemistry when it comes to be to rivals that have respect for each other.Barry and Snart clearly have respect each other. On to Lewis Snart played Sam Fisher himself: the great Michael Ironside. Ironside is ruthless as Snart's father as he doesn't have the same code of honor as his son. It's also interesting that while he shows compassion for his son the same is not felt for his daughter.
One of the few problems I had with this episode was the Joe story.While I commend Jessie Martin's performance I just didn't find the story believable. His wife has been gone for 20 years and only returns after finding out her fiancée died. I also didn't understand how Iris was upset with Joe lying to protect her about the Flash but was okay with a 20 year lie about her mother. It seems like there should have been more to this. Also there was really no closure do to mother only showing up at the beginning. Another minor gripe is that this episode was extra lite on the Jay Garrick which made this episode feel more filler than usual. The show also always does a good job with connecting the dots end. Overall another solid episode of the Flash.

Why You Should Be Watching Scream Queens
I admit: when I first heard about the show I didn't know what it was. I thought it was a reality show where the winner would get a role in the next Scream movie. Me not being to big on reality shows had no interest in watching it. For those who are unaware Scream Queens is a horror comedy on Fox that's about a Sorority that is being stalked by a serial killer. The premise is very similar to movies like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer.
Me being a fan of horror movies ( especially 80s slasher films) thought I should give the show a shot. So I watched the first episode know what: I absolutely hated it! I thought all the girls were idiots and deserved the worse faith that could be possibility bestowed onto them. As I watched the episode I screamed at the tv about bad choices cast members made and bad decisions.
After the credits rolled on the episode and I watched the previews for the next week it dawned on me. Not only did I watched the whole episode but I was completely invested into what happen the next week! What makes Scream Queens such a interesting show is that it doesn't take itself serious. Much like an 80s slasher film you have all of the character tropes. You got the dumb jock who sleeps with all the girls, the popular mean girl and the innocent heroine who wants to save the day. These tropes are raised to a 10 with laugh out loud results. The mean girl literally kills someone in the first 30-45 minutes of the show and it's literally brushed to the side because the person was not popular.
What makes Sceam Queens work is that for every funny moment there is another terrifying moment that fits so perfectly into the world. One minute your laughing at the absurdity of the cast and the next your terrified that one of the castmates you like will have their head chopped off by a lawnmower! Emma Roberts is perfect as Chanel Oberlin: The It girl who would do anything to keep her top status. Also there is Jamie Lee Curtis: The dean of the school that would do anything to keep the school in high regard. In closing Scream Queens is a great show with a great and funny cast. It has the perfect blend of horror and comedy that will keep you coming back for more.

Was Roman Reigns The Better Choice To Win Wrestlemania 31?
WWE Champ Brock Lesner Vs Roman Reigns was the match that no one wanted for Wrestlemania. Since Rumble, Reigns had become the most hated man in wrestling. Fans booed, hissed and even went as far as to create a change.org petition to get him out of the Main Event. WWE was put into the precarious situation of having a Wrestlemania Main Event that no one wanted to see.
Enter The architect Seth Rollins. And with two Curb Stomp's Rollins became the savior of Mania and the start of the future of WWE… Or so we thought. Rollins title reign has thus far been mediocre at best as every week we watch the champ title reign flounder do to bad writing and uninteresting matches. In Rollins defense it's mostly not his fault. Pairing him with semi retired/retired wrestlers (The Authority) was clearly a mistake.
What if the outcome of Wrestlemania was different? What if the WWE went with the decision of Roman Reigns winning Wrestlemania? How different would the Title situation be now? Reigns Vs The Authority is a very different story than Rollins with them. Reigns as the champ that no one wants. The Authority trying to make him there champ and then trying to destroy him. So many ways you can go with the story. This year Reigns has greatly improved! Making him a fighting champ would have went a long way into making him a credible champ. And if all else fails you could have Rollins cash in a still have him have a championship run.
You can't change the past and the presence is now. The WWE champ is Seth Rollins. While his run isn't a total bust WWE has done everything in its power to make his run irrelvalant. It's not too late to turn the tide. Rollins has great in ring ability and is very entertaining on the mic. Give him the room to grow his character and stand on his own two feet. And for god sake give him back the Curb Stomp!!!!

As I mentioned last week I'm going to be doing a weekly look into a different social booking/networking site. First up is Facebook and here are the findings.
In the US, Facebook is the second largest social network behind only the behemoth known as MySpace.
Facebook was founded by former Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg. From its beginning it spread like wildfire across Harvard and was introduced to Stanford and Yale. This was continually expanded to include anybody with a university (addresses ending with .edu, .ac.uk, and others) email address.
I first heard about in the Fall of 2004. It was described as this new site for college students to connect and share information with each other. As I vaguely remember administration was very hesitant and unsupportive of it, and rightly so. Who was this facebook entity and why should our student body trust personal information to them? Of course the students had no problem sharing their lives with Facebook, and this raised some flags. My how only a few years can change things! Here was a community where students go and share information between each other, information that to previous generations was unfathomable that individuals would want to share this information. Teachers could use the site as a way to learn more about their students as students were prone to post pictures of themselves partaking in social activities that isn't always condoned but everyone knows exists. Students were proudly displaying the social side of college life that most people prefer to turn their back to. It was all so new, refreshing, and exciting.
In 2006 the site became open to selected high school students in February and ultimately in September the site became open to any user who claimed to be 13 or older. 2007 saw the introduction of an open API for developers to create applications and in October ads were introduced along with analytic tracking for businesses and the introduction of Groups. You can read more about Facebook's history over on wikipedia's entry.
The Wofford network on Facebook has just under 2,000 members (Wofford has a student body of less than 1,400 students, just over 100 faculty, and around 300 staff). Facebook is sort of a big deal on campus, as I'd assume it is on most all college campuses. Talking to student workers I was informed that Facebook is almost a requirement and that a logical guess would say upwards of 95% of Wofford's student body have accounts.
Ways that it's currently being usedAs can be expected there are multiple unofficial groups, but the Office of Alumni has a Young Alumni group that currently consists of over 230 members. The Athletics department has a profile for Boss The Terrier, Wofford's Mascot. Boss has almost 500 friends to date.
Finally, Wofford has an official page that currently has 280 fans. We use the Wofford College page as sort of a landing page. I post a few of the best videos, promote Wofford News pulling from an RSS feed, and invite visitors to engage in Wofford through our other channels (signup for email updates, read blogs, watch videos, and subscribe to our RSS feeds).
Boss the Terrier invites individuals to sporting events and the Young Alumni group is also used as a channel to inform alumni about upcoming events.
In doing some research I started up a discussion on University Web Developer about Facebook pages being used for Higher Eduaction. Since I mentioned it, University Web Developer is a social network for well University Web Developers that is setup on Ning. So if you fall into this category I highly recommend stopping by and joining our growing community. From the conversation it was also mentioned, thanks Jake, that eduStyle has put together a list of institutions that have Facebook and other social networking profiles.
In my opinion Facebook has become the "swiss army knife" of social networks. It doesn't necessarily do anything the greatest, but does everything well enough. With the introduction of user created applications and being open to everyone there is more to do than anyone could possibly ask.
Facebook has the potential to be an excellent marketing tool for any higher education institution. Because of its simplistic and widget design you do not need to be a graphic designer to create an impressive presence on Facebook as it doesn't really allow much wiggle room in this respect. The biggest warning is to not spend too much time attempting to overdo it. It is incredibly easy to get lost in tinkering with add on applications and searching the vast network looking for new friends. I personally feel the best way to use Facebook is as another resource to direct individuals to better branded and targeted information on your main site. I also don't believe in regularly sending mass messages and updates through Facebook. The last thing you want to do is annoy and potentially spam or bacn your users into leaving.
Next up MySpace. I know that I said I was going to concentrate on Social Bookmarking sites, but being the King of social networks I think a look at MySpace would be useful. Have a great weekend!
Great post. Can't wait to read the one about MySpace.
Great post, Kyle! I am in Facebook but haven't had the incentive to go back and keep track of everything going on there just for the lack of time and motivation. I even saw it's promise and registered a domain to start blogging all things Facebook but it's just collecting dust! Looking forward to seeing your MySpace post.
