===NOTE: none of what I say below is meant belittle the fantastic and wonderful low gop patches that driftwood has produced (or any others with "extreme" patch settings). If anything, this is my fault for not testing thoroughly enough. But I think my experience is worth sharing===
I went on a shoot this weekend, and was using Sandisk Extreme 16gb 30mb/s cards. I wanted to ensure both spanning and playback in camera for the shoot, so I went with driftwoods "spanmybitchup" patch. I did just a few short preliminary tests: the test I did was to shoot the papasarts star chart (which I've attached--I also attached the more extreme codec test chart v2 2010), and let it run. I waved my hand around in the frame from time to time and also had some talking to get audio. Everything seemed good: I was getting spanning and smooth playback in camera with audio. (EDIT: also attaching Stray's death charts with color information!)
So during the shoot, after a few shots, I was getting the message "motion image cannot be played" for all my clips (or something like that I don't remember exactly)--my heart sunk! An actor asked me to check to see if we recorded something on a previous take, I had to say that "yes it was" without checking. I was worried about requests for playback--and this was only with one actor: imagine this on shoot with clients! For certain shots, I wanted to be sure that something was recorded since I wasn't at the camera, and I couldn't do this. The scene I was shooting was an actor in a car at night--he was lit and most everything else was dark. That's when I got the messages. I put in a new Sandisk card, and formatted it. Reshot the same scene and I was getting the same error.
1) In camera playback is important at least for some of us, and for some, like me, it is even more important than low gop. For me, I am willing to forego a very very high quality low GOP setting (awesome work driftwood!!) that doesn't have playback in camera on good SD cards for an improved long GOP with ultra reliable in camera playback. I'm NOT saying that everyone wants this or should want it (especially if you have the cash for more super high end SD cards or for extra harddrive space). But I'm guessing some people are in my situation as well.
2) It seems there's a relatively standard procedure for patch development (using streamparser, tweaking settings incrementally, etc etc). BUT there seems to be no standard procedure for testing spanning and in-camera playback. You might not think that makes a difference, but it seems that it does: it seems to matter what you shoot when you are testing things like spanning and in-camera playback. Or, at least the number of clips you shoot or the ISO you shoot at makes a difference: otherwise, I don't know how to explain the divergence between my pre-shoot tests and what happened on the shoot. I welcome some constructive thinking about standardizing spanning and camera playback tests.
The ideal for me would be to get a hack that improves quality over the stock settings, that has very very reliable spanning and in-camera playback with audio, and works on good quality cards like the Sandisck 30 mb/s (16gb). I know some people are getting the SandDisk extreme pro 64gb cards... but a lot of people (like me) already have a stash of good quality cards and don't want to fork over even more money to get these super high end cards.
I did test w/ @cbrandin 's (Chris's) 66M patch. We know that this doesn't span (but getting around 10 or 11 minutes is okay for me, although I'd love spanning). But what I did notice is that I couldn't get in camera playback with this either. I'm going to try the 44M patch.
@qwerty123 I am using Chris's 66M most of the time when I need spanning and longer than 30 mins times. I just ticked the relevant options in ptool before saving the patch. Just yesterday, for example, I was filming some long interviews with it, some going near 1 hour at a time. It all passed with flying colours and the quality is certainly satisfactory (Thanks @cbrandin so much!). Now, regarding the in-camera playback, all works until the recording starts spanning- from that point the clip becomes unplayable. Otherwise if there's is a problem switching the camera off and on cures the playback issue. Also, after long spanning I must record a short clip, otherwise the next time the power is turned on the camera refuses to record anything further. These are the only niggles I can think of with this patch. I like the quality of this patch and it became my all-rounder. You must remember about the ISO bug each time you power on. The noise macro blocking is there, sure, but you have to really put it under the loupe to notice it. In this respect of course it's not as good as the consistent grain you get from excellent @Driftwood patches which I admire, however when it comes to the quality versus reliability (spanning, cheaper cards, longer recording times) the choice is clear. I only wish not almost everyone here was so obsessed with short GOP (please don't flame me now, I fully understand and cherish the need for GOP1 and love the results); there is a clear need for some people for long GOP patches to be taken further. I attached a few snaps from the recent clips with Chris's 66M patch. Good luck!
Quantum v9 playsback fine in camera on my 4 cams. The quality is way better now plus some great 720p/1080i. Give it a try.
@Driftwood I am very intrigued by Quantum v9b. Believe me, I follow your brilliant developments very closely. I am certainly going to play with your latest one very soon.
Quantum v9. Unchecked 30. Shot a short clip after a 10 minuted spanned 24l would not play back. Then removed battery. The short clip plays fine but nothing gets the spanned clip to play. Driftwood, are you saying spanned clips playback fine for you. What could be the difference
@piotremanuel, long time no see, must meet up sometime for a jar down the Lord Nelson.
In the meantime, here's a very quick comparison (self portrait knackered Driftwood after a long day patching!) of the quality on a voit 0.95 lens. These are the the three modes (1080p, 1080i, 720p) with Quantum v9 straight from Windows Media Player - no editing! blown up to full screen on Paint ! All recs looking good. ;-)
@Jspatz Ill do a span test now you bastard! Another 20 mins.... ;-)
Yes @Driftwood, you look very sexy :o))) 720 seems to look great indeed. I'd love to meet up for some "jarry" conversations soon. BTW, VLC does a nice job with snapshots.
Couldnt be arsed to do vlc, mpegstreamclip or whatever... these are simple 'Print Screen' grabs and pasted into Paint whilst playing the mts files!
@driftwood when you say you get playback on Quantum v9... I'm assuming this is on the very high end Sandisk 64gb 95/s cards?
I'm wondering if there are some easy and creative second best alternatives for getting playback on set. For example, having a laptop and loading up the card is one option. But this is less than ideal as it eats up too much time. Maybe some tablet option would be better...?
I'd be happy to use any driftwood patch as my go to for narrative filmmaking if I could somehow easily get playback--and I'm (begrudgingly) willing to get the highest end card. (grumble grumble)... I'd even get the higher end cards if I could get consistent playback in cam.
@piotremanuel Yeah... I recroded a 6 minute clip with chris's 66mb, and even then I was having problems: it plays back for one second, and then stops. Restarting doesn't help. So far 44mb seems ok. But I'd love to have the higher quality....
@qwerty123 You could try to connect a tablet or android phone (with usb host) via the usb cable that came with cam. Dunno if the cam can hold up with this datarate when acting as cardreader, but its worth a try.
fucking brilliant, thank you driftwood!
I think I'm starting to realize ****different modes for different work****
--many have said this all along (including Chirs) but I was stubborn in refusing to accept it.
It seems that above a certain bitrate level, in-camera playback is not going to be reliable irrespective of the card quality. It seems that it's a function of the camera's playback abilities.
So...if I really want to ensure in camera playback, then the low gop stuff is likely not my go to, then (something like) Chris's 44mb patch would be my go to for narratives in which I know I won't be running over say 10 minute clips. For spanning, I'd (reluctantly) drop to the L setting.
If I want absolute best quality with absolute best motion and noise rendering and don't need in camera playback, then low gop is the way to go with (most likely) an investment in higher quality cards.
Decisions, decisions.... I just want to shoot! Arg.
(EDIT: I was wrong. Playback works fine on Quantum 100 with my Sandisk Extreme 30 mb/s--Quantum 9vb requires the higher end cards; curiously SpanMyBitchUp gave me problems. Huh.)
Buy two camera bodies, problem solved ;)
@qwerty123 Hold on, your pleas have not gone unheeded. Before you invest in a new set of high-priced cards, you may want to wait until my last round of tests are completed...
Gotta shoot with 2-3 bodies (no excuse - they are cheap) and multiple firmwares loaded on 95mb/s cards.
Problem solved.
@proaudio4 @troyjason less than ideal solution...
@LPowell ...intriguing(!)... I'm holding on for the moment anyway due to lack of $... For now, I think I'm going back to the 44Mb patch.
qwerty123 - not trying to nag, you typed a very worthwhile post. I enjoyed reading it and it should be a good reference for newbies to the GH2.
But a second GH2 can be rented for under $100 a week (borrowlenses, lensrentals.com) I don't shoot without 2 or 3 and don't know anyone that does either. If you can't buy, rent.
Also there is nothing wrong with saying to an actress/actor or crew "looks good, but lets improve xyz."
Read this article about David Fincher:
He and directors like Ridley Scott are known for dozens and dozens and dozens of takes (if needed).
Best of luck in the future.
@driftwood Good teeth!
There is one very simple and most reliable solution to the problem. Have several cards ready and bring a laptop (preferably one with a built in card reader). Always play back on your laptop, rather than in the camera. Obviously, it might not be an option all of the time (if you are out shooting with minimal gear somewhere remote) but for shoots where a lot of equipment is already used then it's no trouble to bring a laptop, really.
The better/bigger monitor will also help in terms of avoiding some mistakes that can happen with smaller monitoring..
@qwerty123 Thats bollocks. In camera playsback fine on Quantum v9 and Quantum100 (min Quantum). Also there is going to be a mini version of Quantum INTRA for type 6 cards/slow type10s coming later today too. But please try out Quantum100 first to see if works for you on your cards.
Hi Driftwood! I have a big problem with your's Q100 patch. On the settings of 1080i, 720p i can't take more videos than 10sec even on fsh, fh or sh and h (motion record was cancelled due the limitation of the writing speed of the card - or something like that). But on the highest setting of 24h and 24l is all fine. What is the problem? I have a 32Gb Sandisk extreme (30mb) card and tv out is ntsc.
I'll take a look.
@quaresz check Quantum v9b & see if the same happens and let me know. I'll take a look to see if 60 changed when I was doing 50 (which I did last) could be some correlation thing.
HI! Thanks, but i have a similar problem with v9b to...:(
Strange. I checked fast v7, and exactly the same problems as above - 24L and H fine all other is bad...:( Maybe i have a "bad" card or "1080i or 720p resistant" GH2?:)
There must be something wrong with the 30/60fps, becouse on pal settings all is fine...!:I

Katie Boyd Britt Named BCA President
The Business Council of Alabama has selected Alabama native Katie Boyd Britt as the organization's next president. Britt was formerly Chief of Staff to United States Senator Richard C. Shelby and is the first female president of the BCA, a non-partisan, statewide business association representing the interests and concerns of nearly 1 million working Alabamians through its member companies and its partnership with the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama.
Britt was born and raised in Enterprise and attended The University of Alabama. Over the past decade, she has served in a number of senior positions for Senator Shelby in Washington. She previously led state governmental affairs for the Butler Snow law firm in Montgomery and also practiced corporate law.
MBJ asked Britt to share a bit about why she joined the BCA team and what she hopes to accomplish in her role.
What motivated you to take your new position at BCA? I am a true believer in the Business Council of Alabama. It is one of the leading voices in Montgomery with the ability to positively impact Alabama's future for generations. As the mother of two young children, I want the Alabama they inherit to be a place where they can find good jobs and want to raise their families.
What are your thoughts on being the first female in this position at BCA? I am certainly proud of this milestone for the BCA because it underscores the rising number of women
leading in the business world. I recently read an article that said you don't hear male CEOs described as being male CEOs, only females. So, in this way, I am proud to be a small part of helping shift that dynamic.
What are your main longterm goals for BCA? I would like to see the BCA focus on our membership and how we can better meet their needs. The BCA has an incredibly diverse membership – businesses of all sizes, across all industry sectors, and in every region of the state. We need to leverage the strength and diversity of our membership to build consensus and create conditions where businesses, both large and small, will flourish. If we can accomplish this, our state will flourish, too.

Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other, Morocco has a beautiful coastline, which stretches for thousands of kilometers, pleasant climate and has many things for every taste.
Atlantic coast
On the Atlantic coast's most visited beaches are located near the cities. But there are hundreds of other places where nature has remained intact. South of Casablanca, the Moroccan golden sands extending along the windswept Atlantic coast until Essaouira, a length of nearly 350 km. One of the most beautiful places is the divine bay Dalkia, but nothing less beautiful are the other beaches one after another after another. They are all hospitable and pleasant for relaxing, swimming and enjoyment, and the wind that blows from the northeast creates ideal conditions for all sports surfer. It is also Oualidia center for oysters in Morocco.
Mediterranean coast
The Mediterranean coast, fragmented between Tangier and Al Hoceima has smaller and more intimate beaches, and the sea is warm and calm. Some are close to the traditional fishing villages that contribute with an idyllic image that makes it irresistible nature.On this side you will find new tourist resorts. In the direction of Andalusia, the Mediterranean coast with white sand beaches stretching 1,700 acres of surface.

$100,000.00. Motor vehicle accident. Broken wrist and ruptured surgical implant with replacement. Same insurer for both drivers.
In 2017, we completed over 50 tenant evictions on behalf of our landlord clients. Despite various delay tactics and other defenses raised, we were successful in getting the tenant out in every case we filed.
Successfully defended a client in a contract dispute over a parcel of real estate. Obtained a very favorable settlement by arguing that the contract should be voided because the plaintiff in the case either intentionally or negligently misrepresented his interest in the property.
Fire restoration project. Final settlement demand $75,000. Last offer of $35,000 withdrawn before trial. Judgment entered at trial $120,000. Five figure award of court costs and attorney's fees also expected.
A homeowner's association attempted to force a foreclosing bank to pay several years of unpaid association dues incurred by a prior owner. Most egregious, the association's law firm attempted to tack on legal fees which exceeded the amount of the unpaid dues. Ted was able to convince the appellate court that the association was not entitled to the amounts sought and the association was forced to release their improperly filed lien. The association was unable to overcome the fact that Ted's client had, on his advice, begun paying dues beginning the month after they obtained title. The court accepted Ted's argument that this acceptance of dues acted as a bar to any further claims for the prior owner's unpaid assessments and that the mortgage held a superior right to the association which was exercised via the mortgage foreclosure proceedings.

Helen, we continued our journey south to go back to Brighton, on the south coast of England. We stayed there back in September for a couple of nights and found the best vegetarian restaurant we have ever been to Terre a Terre . So it was the thought of visiting this and knowing that I had also discovered some great fairtrade shops that we decided to go back. I had time to prepare myself this time so spent a few hours surfing the net the day before we went, finding the Fair trade shops that I wanted to visit and marking them on a map so that I wouldn't forget where they were.
We arrived late, booked into the same hotel as before (we are such creatures of habit!). Fortunately they had space we hadn't dared to book anything as the weather had been so unpredictable and there was still lots of snow on the ground. After a quick freshen up and a cup of tea we made our way down to the restaurant.
We both had potato rosti's, mine with spinach and poached egg, my husbands with spicy halumi tika, this was washed down with a fine local West Sussex white wine. We then treated ourselves to one of their yummy puddings. I had a cheese cake that was accompanied with a lemon and rosemary sauce which was just divine, while my husband had something very very chocolaty. My husband brought me their cookbook for my birthday at the end of last year and so I now feel re-inspired to get it out and get cooking.
After a very warm nights sleep (we could not cool the room down, even with the window open!), we went off for a days shopping map in hand.
First we went to Gossypium which is a shop I have brought from by mail order many a time, they do a superb selection of fairtrade fabrics. It was lovely to browse, I was interested to see if they had any sale items as they are usually a little bit pricy. Unfortunately the only bargain I found didn't fit, but I enjoyed the looking.
There are lots of little gift shops in The Lanes, many of which stock fairtrade products, so I enjoyed having a little look around these.
We then walked up Bond Street in the North Laines area. Here we visited a small gift shop called Evolution, they are almost all fairtrade, and we managed to pick up 3 lap trays for the children that were a little damaged but had their prices cut from £10 each to £2.00 each. So we got those! I loved looking at all their FT jewelry, but resisted it knowing I was going to the bead shop.
We passed another shop that I noticed had clothing by Nomads on a rail outside. So I went inside.... there I found right at the back a whole rail of sale items and managed to pick myself up a lovely white long sleeved shirt (my husband loves me wearing white) for £15. Another succesful purchase.
From here we went to my very favourite shop Infinity Foods for an organic ethical vegetarian you just cannot get any better. Here we stocked up on lots of house hold items, chocolate shampoo, seaweed shampoo, lavender bath soak, Weleda rose cleansing lotion, replaceable head toothbrushes for my youngest - we got these last time we came and were very very impressed. We then went into the food section and brought some Vegan Worcestershire sauce, which I didn't know existed, the normal variety, used alot in sauces has fish in it.
We were now laden down with 'stuff', so my husband offered to take it all back to the car while I went on the a bead shop that I wanted to visit. I eventually found it and spent 20 minutes in my heaven! I was very restrained, I just picked up a few bits, jewelry fastners, earing hoops and a few packets of seed beeds in colours I had never seen before. This restraint cost me £6.50, and I have enough 'bits' to keep me going for quite some time, so watch out for some more making.
We then went into Costa Coffee for a lovely fairtrade Late, shared a sandwich and lovely crunchy granola bar. After a much needed sit down and rest we had a little wonder around the book shop we were in, I managed to find 'The Secret Life of Bees' by Sue Monk Kidd for my mum, I read this several years ago and thought so many bits reasonated with my mums growing up years that she would really enjoy it. This made the perfect little gift to give her for looking after the children for us.
There was not much energy left in me after this, my husband on his way back from dropping the goodies at the car had managed to find a second hand copy of a jazz cd which had lots of clarinet playing on it - so he got this for our eldest (who has been asked to join the school jazz band). He had also passed a second hand book stall and saw copies of the original Dr Who books, so he purchased one of these for our son.
I just had a couple of shops left on my list, on the way to one we passed a small tucked away shop called Fair Play, they did not have a huge collection, they had some People Tree clothing and lots of gifty bits. What did catch my eye was bedding. This is something we were looking out for for our bedroom, they had some gorgeous sets, but didn't have the one I liked best in King size which we needed. I got talking to the sales lady who gave me the details of where they purchased them from. This is the set from Fairly covered that we are going to order. It goes just perfectly with the husky pink and deep ruby reds we have in our bedroom.
There was just one shop left on my list but I knew that would be a car ride to make, so we went back to the car and headed off. Kolkata has some very unique fairtrade clothing and gifts. What I did find here that I have found no where else is fairtrade wools and cottons for knitting with. We got a small hair band for my youngest, so that they all had a little gift, and headed home. We were just commenting on how lovely it had been to spend so much time shopping in our kind of shops when I noticed a huge Co-operative Supermarket shop. This store is a big favourite as they sell lots of fairtrade produce and we also use them for their ethical banking and insurance. I remembered that I had a cheque in my purse that needed to be paid in so we pulled the car into the car park and my husband whisked the cheque in.
This made me realise, that if I had to move anywhere in the UK then Brighton would probably be my choice, just because it seems to so support the life style that we have chosen to live. Moving is not something that I particularly want or would like to do, so for now, I shall just treasure a lovely time away with my husband, chatting, shopping and eating. I shall also continue to pray that the area of Hampshire in which we live might be transformed into a similar ethical living style one day.
It was fab to get home and discover there had been no upsets, the eldest went off to her Church run Youth Group, the younger ones went off to bed and we settled down to a nice treat of an Indian takeaway with my mum and dad before heading off for an early night in our own, cosy bed. Perfect.

The mechanical drive Cat® 797 was brought to life in late September of 1998. Massive only begins to describe this giant mining truck, which was designed to carry payloads in excess of 360-tons. With only a light load in transit, this legendary truck outweighs a Boeing 747.
The mind-blowing nature of the specifications has no end, tires nearly 13 feet in diameter, 63-inch diameter wheels, 42 inch diameter brake discs, 30-foot width, and over 21 feet to the top of the cab. Fully loaded, the 797 is capable of top speeds up to 40 miles per hour.
With a fully loaded weight of 670 tons, it takes a substantial amount of power to move this vehicle and payload. Two Cat 3512 engines were arranged in an "in-line" configuration and attached by flexible couplings. This package became known as the 3524B EUI diesel with a total of 24 cylinders, 117 liters, producing 3211 flywheel horsepower (3400 gross) at 1750 rpm. It is four-stroke, turbocharged, aftercooled, and has a torque rating of 12,170 foot-lbs. Standard fuel capacity is 1000 gallons. Higher volume options are available though as a typical working day requires around 1500 gallons of diesel.
Seven state of the art computer systems were included to both control and monitor mission critical functions of the machine. Perhaps the most critical is the VIMS (Vital Information Management System) which keeps the operator up to speed on precise machine status data. This same system is present on many other larger Cat vehicles.
Production of the 797 continued until 2002 when Caterpillar® released the 797B with an increase in power output of the Cat 3524B engine to account for the higher payload capacity of this updated machine. The 797F was introduced in 2009 and replaced the 797B with an even more powerful and efficient C175-20 engine, realizing an additional increase in payload capacity of up to 400 short tons.

Mortgage rates headed slightly lower this week, following the Federal Reserve's decision on Wednesday to bump up its key interest rate by a quarter of a point. And it looks like the market had already priced in the hike, as mortgage interest rates managed to avoid moving higher, despite the Fed's move to raise short-term rates. Actually, mortgage rates sailed slightly lower in the last three days of the week. Stocks fell on Friday, while pricing on mortgage-backed securities (MBS), which mostly directly influence mortgage rate movement, drifted higher. As a result, a number of lenders issued updated rate sheets on Friday with lower rates, while others haven't passed along the gains just yet. At the majority of lenders Friday's gains can be seen in lower closing costs or higher lender credit as opposed to lower contract rate.
The bottom line is that today's mortgage rates are just as good as rate levels a week earlier, which makes home-buying and refinancing attractive for borrowers. According to our observations, the average lender is offering the 30-year fixed mortgage rate in the range of 4.000% – 4.125% these days. But as we mentioned above, not all mortgage lenders have passed along Friday's gains just yet, so those borrowers who are sitting on the fence to secure a loan will need to take a look at the loan pricing at the beginning of the upcoming week and evaluate it, how it compares to Friday's rate levels.
In the secondary market, the yield on the benchmark 10-year treasury note fell by 5 basis points to 2.19% on Friday. This marks the second straight day that the yield on this type of government bond has been falling. As mortgage rates tend to follow the movement of the 10-year note, you may see some minor changes in rates at some of the lenders. As for the longer-term, 30-year treasury yield, it closed Friday's trading session at 2.90%, a downtick of 4 basis points compared to data from a day earlier.
Compare today's mortgage rates and take advantage of current low rates
Current mortgage rates are lower ahead of the holiday-shortened week, and with no significant domestic economic data scheduled for release in the upcoming week, we don't anticipate a big net change in interest rates. However, typically the last two weeks of the year see lower trading volumes, which can lead to increased volatility. Still, loan providers tend to be more conservative with their rate sheets before year-end, which means the risks and rewards of locking a rate or floating at this time of the year could be lower than usual.
Government-sponsored financial enterprise, Freddie Mac reported on Thursday, that the average interest rate on the 30-year fixed conventional mortgage rose to 3.97% from the previous 3.95% in the prior week. This time a year earlier, the 30-year FRM averaged a rate of 3.8%. The average rate on the shorter-term, 15-year fixed mortgage came in at 3.22% this week, according to the federal agency's latest weekly Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS). The current interest rate on the 15-year fixed conventional loan is 3 basis points higher compared to data from a week earlier. A year ago, the 15-year fixed mortgage averaged a rate of 3.09%.
A quick look at current average mortgages rates on flexible adjustable rate loans shows, that the 5-year ARM stayed frozen at 3.03% this week. Back in 2014, this type of mortgage loan averaged a rate of 2.95%. On the other hand, the average rate on the 1-year adjustable rate mortgage moved up to 2.64% this week, an increase of 3 basis points compared to data in the prior week. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged a rate of 2.38%, according to Freddie Mac's data. When looking at the results of Freddie Mac's weekly survey, it must be noted, that the survey responses are collected in the first half of the week, so the final data doesn't reflect those changes that impact mortgage rates later on during the week.

The highlight of the week was the Fed's decision to end a seven-year stretch of zero interest rate policy, and increasing its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points. The key takeaway from the Fed's move is that the organization believes the U.S. economy is stable enough to bear a rate increase, which is the first step for normalizing monetary policy. The U.S. central bank stressed, that it expects economic conditions will allow only a gradual increase in the federal funds rate moving forward. The median target for the Fed's benchmark monetary policy rate is 1.38% by the end of 2016.
While 30-year mortgage rates are now slowly approaching 4%, most experts don't think expect rates to go much higher than 4% in the near future. Comments from Freddie Mac's chief economist, Sean Becketti, suggests that interest rates could remain at "historically low levels" throughout 2016, even if the Fed continues tightening its monetary policy at a gradual pace. "We take the Fed at its word that monetary tightening in 2016 will be gradual, and we expect only a modest increase in longer-term rates," Becketti said. "Mortgage rates will tick higher but remain at historically low levels in 2016," he added.
Now, switching to the U.S. economic calendar, the unfolding holiday-shortened week looks to be light on influential data. Still, all upcoming domestic economic reports are important for the Fed to determine the pace and timing of future rate hikes. Monday is going to be silent in terms of meaningful economic reports, so in the meantime the market will likely continue digesting the Fed's monetary policy statement.
On Tuesday, the third and final reading on Q3 GDP is scheduled for release. The latest projections from economists suggest that GDP growth could be revised down to 1.8% from the previous estimation of 2.1%.
The National Association of Realtors will release November's existing home sales report on second day of the week. Existing home sales for November likely dropped 0.2% to a seasonally adjusted 5.35 million units, analysts say. Back in October, existing home sales tumbled 3.4% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.36 million units.
The upcoming Personal Income and Outlays report is scheduled for a release on Wednesday. Personal nominal income likely increased 0.2% in November, while consumer spending likely grew by 0.3%, according to the most up-to-date estimations. Core PCE inflation, which excludes volatile food and energy categories, likely climbed 0.1% last month.
New home sales data for November will see the light of day during the mid-week. Economists believe that new home sales likely rose 1% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 500,000 units in November. In October, purchases of newly-built U.S. homes climbed 10.7% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 495,000, according to the Commerce Department's data.
A fresh report on U.S. durable goods orders is scheduled for release on Wednesday. The latest forecasts from economists suggest, that total durable goods orders likely fell 0.7% last month, while nondefense capital goods orders, that excludes aircraft orders, likely remained unchanged.
On Thursday, the Labor Department will issue fresh jobless claims data. Initial claims for state unemployment benefits declined by 11,000 to a seasonally adjusted 271,000 in the week ended December 12, the latest data revealed. For the upcoming jobless claims report, the consensus expectation is a reading of 270,000.

On the 31st May 2013, an extremely damaging and killer tornado hit El Reno Oklahoma. El Reno is no stranger to tornadoes having been struck by a violent tornado two years earlier. The tornado on 31st May 2013 was extremely violent and erratic in behaviour - now earning the title as the widest tornado in history 2.6 miles wide or 4.2km on the metric scale. The path of the tornado makes an approximate shallow U-shape moving initially south-east and then east and finally northeast. In fact, the supercell slingshotted the tornado with increasingly rapid movement from about 25 miles per hour to an almost unchaseable 45 miles per hour in velocity! As a result, it had disastrous consequences with 4 storm chasers being killed. This includes Tim Samaras, a well-renowned veteran in the world of storm chasing with 30 years experience! Wind speeds measured by RaxPol doppler data were measured to be in the vicinity of 290miles per hour - amongst the highest wind speeds ever recorded within a tornado! The initial EF-rating was set at EF-3 and then upgraded to EF-5. Controversy has re-instated the EF-3 rating which is based on damage to a house. Nevertheless, the tornado's width will be difficult to overcome. Furthermore, the parent supercell spawning this tornado was extremely violent having produced a tornado two minutes after a wall cloud developed! The El Reno tornado has also reminded storm chasers about the dangers of storm chasing given the numbers of storm chasers now chasing tornadoes clogging up the road network. A better understanding about the strategies in storm chasing within the environment of specific types of events greatly increases the chance of not placing one-self in harms way.

Out and About in Downtown Las Vegas
Follow the Las Vegas Strip north and you'll find yourself in downtown Vegas, the "original Las Vegas". In the 1930's (long before there was a Vegas Strip) the construction of the Hoover Dam drew thousands of workers to this part of the city. Casinos and showgirl venues quickly followed the workers and Vegas, as we know it today, was born.
The retro charm of Vegas and its colourful history lives on in this part of town. You'll also find museums, shopping, restaurants, casinos, and more neon signs than your camera can handle. There's no shortage of things to discover in downtown Vegas.
Las Vegas North Premium Outlets
Get all your outlet shopping done while you're in downtown Vegas at Las Vegas North Premium Outlets. This beautiful, airy, outdoor village-styled center is home to 175 designer and name-brand outlet stores. You'll find savings of up to 65% off everyday at top brand stores, including Coach, kate spade new york, Michael Kors, Neiman Marcus Last Call, Nike Factory Store, Polo Ralph Lauren Factory Store, Rag & Bone New York, Saks Fifth Avenue Off 5th, and many more.
When you're ready for a bite, enjoy some of America's favourite dining options at Las Vegas North Premium Outlets including Chipotle, The Cheesecake Factory and Shake Shack.
The Neon Museum
When the Hoover Dam was completed in 1936 it supplied Las Vegas with cheap hydroelectricity. Flashing neon signs quickly began lighting up the town and became a defining part of the cityscape. Today, the neon lights of Las Vegas are laid to rest at The Neon Museum.
More than 800 signs from Vegas establishments are laid out chronologically through the different eras of the city. Beginning with signs from the 1930's to those from recently closed hotels and casinos. Each sign has a unique story to tell about the history, characters and establishments that have shaped Sin City. Come at night and bring your camera for this one – The Neon Museum is a truly unique photo op. Visit The Neon Museum website for all the info on tickets and tours.
Fremont Street
Just up the road from Las Vegas Premium Outlets is the historic Fremont Street district. After "The Strip", it's the most iconic street in Las Vegas. Fremont was the first paved street in Vegas and is home to many historic venues, including Vegas' first hotel, the Hotel Nevada. What started as a street is now a seven block pedestrian area with an abundance of casinos and neon signs. A short walk around Fremont and you'll see why locals call this area "glitter gulch".
After the sun goes down the star of the show is Viva Vision. The world's largest video screen stretches for more than 450 metres above the Fremont pedestrian walkway. As you walk through you'll be covered in a canopy of more than 12 million LED lamps. Special Viva Vision shows happen every night of the week on the hour. Very extra, very Vegas.

• 'Hands UP' design – lets babies sleep in their natural sleep position
• Snug and cosy fit – gives a womb-like security. Super soft cotton and seam-free inside for added comfort

On Feb. 3 at the Kimball Recital Hall, Associate Professor of Voice and Voice Pedagogy at the Glenn Korff School of Music, Dr. Kevin Hanrahan and Associate Professor of Music at the Western Sydney University in Australia, Prof. Diana Blom cam together to perform an original set of songs contributed by composers from around the Pacific Rim.
Entitled "New Art Songs of the Pacific Rim," the set list contained songs from composers in five countries bordering the Pacific Ocean, including Australia, New Zealand, Colombia, the U.S. and Japan. This particular program of new art songs, organized by Blom, included various oratorios, which showcased letters, short stories and poems written over several centuries.
Blom and Hanrahan were to be joined for this performance by Associate Professor of Voice at the Glenn Korff School of Music, Jamie Reimer as well as graduate student Patrick McNally. Unfortunately, due to an unforeseen family emergency, Reimer was unable to attend the concert and two songs from the original set were unable to be performed.
Despite the shortened setlist, each song was met with profuse applause, as audience members expressed their enjoyment for the pieces that were still able to be performed. The new art songs set list, organized by Blom, was deemed to be a unique and theatrical experience over all.
"I haven't been to a solely vocal performance before, so I thought that this was really interesting," audience member and photographer for the Glenn Korff School of Music Odochi Akwani said. "I thought that it was cool how he [Hanrahan] was able to sing in another language and how the second performer [McNally] took a really theatrical approach to his performance."
In 2006 when Hanrahan was performing in Blom's hometown of Sydney, Australia, she was his piano accompanist at the recital where they first met. Since then, Hanrahan and Blom have come together several times to perform and record various compositions– never letting the distance between their home countries keep them from joining forces.
"I'd say we probably see each other every 12 to 18 months, whether it's me traveling here or him traveling to Australia– we try to alternate so that the travel time is equal," Blom said. "I think it also helps that we also get on quite well as individuals– it makes all the traveling feel less like a chore."
Blom and Hanrahan have performed in Australia (2011 and 2013), as well as Nebraska and Brazil (2013 and 2016). They have also co-presented at several International Society for Music Education (ISME) and International Symposium for Performance Science (ISPS) conferences.
Hanrahan also performed and recorded a variety of Blom's own compositions for her album, "Songs of Diana Blom" which was Hanrahan's first recorded CD. The second studio album recorded by Blom and Hanrahan was "New Art Songs of the Pacific Rim," which was released in late January 2018 by Wirripang Pty. Ltd., and has since been one of Blom and Hanrahan's favorite sets to perform.
"It truly is an interesting collection of songs," Hanrahan said. "Diana and I really tried to incorporate a variety of styles and themes to capture the essence of vocal music in a new and fresh way. All of the songs are from different composers and backgrounds and all of them bring something unique to the table."

Traveling can be stressful, especially without Vietnam local tour operators, use these tips to use Airbnb service in Vietnam to your advantage.
Planning on visiting Vietnam anytime soon?
Airbnb has you covered.
Airbnb (Source: Internet)
Since its initiation, Airbnb has brought about a significant change in the way people around the world access and use services. Because let's face it - travel planning, even with the best tours in Vietnam can be extremely stressful!
Airbnb (the abbreviation for the original name "Airbed & Breakfast") is the world's largest accommodation sharing site, with housing options in almost 191 countries worldwide, making planning your next adventure a little easier…
Founded in the USA in 2008, Airbnb is an online platform connecting people seeking accommodation with those looking to rent. The site offers an incredible collection of homes, rooms, and even extremely unique accommodation, such as; cozy tree house, seaside apartment, smaller studio apartments, and even entire luxurious style lofts.
When it comes to Airbnb, patience is of the utmost importance, as one must sift through the endless list of hotels and guesthouses, and might end up just booking Vietnam local tour operators instead. It's a painful process, to say the least, but truly satisfying once you have found the perfect home away from home.
Vietnam airbnb tropical paradise tree house (Source: Internet)
Since officially launching in Vietnam in 2015, Airbnb has enjoyed explosive growth, and not only in the big cities...
According to experts, the rising number of people visiting Vietnam has created the momentum for growth in the accommodation-sharing businesses.
While Airbnb is a great platform for many reasons, just like everything else in life, it is necessary to be cautious when you are selecting and booking accommodation.
To avoid disappointment after arrival, be sure to follow these guidelines and hopefully you'll be able to eliminate potential risks significantly.
Always be sure to carefully scan through the profile of the provider. They should have a considerably well-completed profile with good quality photographs and sufficient information on the apartment so you can get a good sense of what to expect.
One of the greatest features of Airbnb is that they are reviewed by real people, and while you may not be too bothered with staying in an extravagant 5-star rated home that oozes luxury – the reviews made by previous tenants or Vietnam local tour operators could be a great indication of what you yourself could expect when staying in a particular room or home.
Read the host's cancellation policy carefully. When a host creates his/her Airbnb listing they select one of three standard cancellation policies:
Keep in mind that as long as your reservation isn't accepted by the host, you can cancel the reservation at any time at no cost to you, however, if you cancel after the reservation is accepted, your reservation will be subject to the terms of the cancellation policy selected by the host (if you click on the host's policy, you can see details of what this entails).
New to Airbnb or not, asking questions to clarify anything you may be uncertain about could save you a lot of trouble down the line. Asking the right questions could also help both hosts and tenants understand each other better, as well as what is expected from both parties.
Opening the line of communication prior to your arrival can also be great to learn more about the country you'll be visiting and even top tourist attractions close to you. Essentially, you have access to your own personal tour guide who knows all there is to know about the area you'll be visiting - including where to get the tastiest traditional dishes and finest coffee around. So in a nutshell, a great way to enjoy your trip even without a Vietnam tour operator.
For those of you who didn't know, Airbnb sorts out their top hosts based on peoples reviews over time. Those hosts who are helpful, honest and reliable earn the title "super host" which places them at the top of the Airbnb pile so to speak. With this in mind, you can search for your preferred accommodation by filtering through super host accommodation options only - should you prefer.
The key to making the perfect selection is to know exactly what you need in a room before starting your selection. Most homes come complete with basic amenities, including Wi-Fi, an iron, a hair dryer, a laptop friendly workspace, heating and air conditioning. More essentials you can expect are; towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper. Additional facilities that are included could range from free parking to a rooftop pool…
Keep in mind that you will be staying in someone's home essentially, and there are usually a few "house rules" that need to be adhered to. For example; no pets, no parties or events, check-out by 11:00 am etc.
*House rules are not standard and are subject to change depending on where you stay.
When it comes to price, both Airbnb and hotels range widely all depending on your preference. For the most part, Airbnb is extremely well-priced – one of the many reasons it has become so popular over the years.
When making a booking, you could be looking at anything from $20 – $100 per night. Sounds crazy, but it's even possible to rent a decent room for a whole month at a cost of about $500!
One way to save money on your trip this year is to utilize sharing economy services like Airbnb. Just remember, it is very important you take into consideration extra guest charges that you may not have noticed on the website. So as not to be surprised upon arrival, it's best to communicate with your host ahead of time to clarify all rates.
*Prices are indicative and may vary depending on location and intended period of stay.
As we all know, life happens, and if you're an avid traveller you know that things can go wrong on just about any trip (even those planned to perfection with the best Vietnam tour operators) which is why it's great to know that with Airbnb there is a Guest Refund Policy which may be applied in certain circumstances.
Situations that may be eligible for a refund under this policy generally fall into one of three categories:
In any of the above instances, Airbnb will either provide you with a refund or use reasonable efforts to find and book another comparable accommodation for any unused nights left on your reservation.
*The amount of any refund will depend on the nature of the travel issue.
Airbnb vs hotel (Source: Internet)
The rise of Airbnb has created a test for hotel operators the world over, as travelers now have more choice than ever before. Yet, when it comes to booking a place to stay for your next trip, which is the right option for you?
When deciding between Airbnb and a hotel, there are a few things to consider; how much do you want to spend? How long are you planning to stay? What amenities are important to you? Are you looking for a more authentic experience? Are you booking with Vietnam local tour operators? Are you traveling alone or with family or friends? These are all very important questions to ask yourself before making a decision.
When we stay in hotels we want luxury. We're not only paying for the comfort and location, we're also paying for specific services, such as; 24/7 check-in, housekeeping, toiletries and room service. Of course, all of this comes at a price…
Airbnbs on the other hand, have revolutionized travel, allowing travellers from all over the world an opportunity to experience a new country or city like a local. By living in a local's home like this or booking Vietnam local tour operators, you can immerse yourself in the Vietnamese culture completely. This creates a one-of-a-kind experience that really sets Airbnb apart from any hotel, really allowing you to get a taste of the local lifestyle - all while saving you money as you experience exciting new places.
At the end of the day, there is no one-size-fits-all, and no matter where you choose to spend your travels, just make sure to do your research first.
Honestly, it's as stress-free as 1…2…3…
With Airbnb, you can easily find something that suits all of you needs. So, whether you are on a business trip, honeymoon, or just visiting friends with the family – there is definitely something for you. What are you waiting for? Book that dream vacation today.

Review: Tillman Place
Author: Neha Paddillaya Editor: Surya
Neha has previously lived in: None
Neha is moving to: Tillman Place 2 Bed
Alright guys, it's that time of year again… Time to go apartment hunting! I know it's exhausting and sometimes pretty stressful to think about, especially for people arriving here who don't know too much about what comes next. I live in Tillman place and Surya asked me to write a review to help you guys.
TILLMAN PLACE (4 Bed) [MAPS]
155 Anderson HWY, Clemson
Located in the heart of Clemson and withing walking distance to campus, Tillman Place is on the CAT Bus line. The bus stop is right outside the apartment, which means you can track the bus and leave 2-3 mins before the bus arrives!
Options of either 2 or 4 bedroom.
Amenities – Swimming pool, Volleyball Court, exercise room.
Lease term – 9 – 12 months usually
2 bed – 700-850$
4 bed – 1200-1350$
$45-$55 for utilities
Floor Plans:
Property managers:
Carolina Real Estate – 392 College Ave #1, Clemson, SC 29631
Advantage Real Estate- 391 College Ave #103, Clemson, SC 29631
Walking distance to – Publix (supermarket where you can occasionally find some Indian ready to eat food :D), iHOP (Best breakfast :P), Moe Joe (great place to grab a coffee), BiLO, Tigermart, Gas station, Car wash station is just 2 mins walk. Edit: She forgot Super Taco. If there's a reason to live here, it has to be Super Taco.
When you consider that you can easily walk to the stadium (and more importantly of course) the tailgates on game day, it definitely puts it in the running of the most popular off-campus apartments.
Surya's notes: Not a fan of the location, but the houses are great. You will be living a fair distance away from 70% of the Indians in Clemson. 2 Bed apartments at 806 / 807 /810 / 820 College Avenue might be a better option. See main guide for details.

Tyson Fury confirms Deontay Wilder rematch is signed and will take place on February 22
TYSON FURY confirmed his rematch with Deontay Wilder will take place on February 22.
The Gypsy King, 31, insists "the rematch is signed" for the pair to do battle again.
Fury and Wilder fought out a pulsating draw in December and will go back at it in Las Vegas early in 2020.
The British star told ESPN: "If we both get through our next fights then we're going to fight February 22nd in the rematch.
"The rematch is signed, February 22nd - Las Vegas, Nevada."
The fight will go ahead on the basis that both men win their next bouts.
WBC heavyweight champ Wilder is set to take on Luis Ortiz on November 23 in Vegas.
The dangerous Cuban caused trouble for Wilder when they met last year and will be looking for revenge.
Fury, meanwhile, faces Otto Wallin next month as he keeps himself ticking over before taking on Wilder again for a chance to become world champion.
In their first bout, Fury was floored by Wilder in the 12th but enjoyed the better of the early rounds and the judges could not split them.
Speaking of his more cautious approach in the final round, Fury added: "It wouldn't have helped anyway because we probably still would have gotten a draw.
"I was so far ahead on points, the knockdown in the last round doesn't alter anything, it doesn't mean nothing.
"So they were going to rob me anyway, they were going to do it whether I got knocked down 20 times or none.
Latest boxing news
"I have to knock him out in the rematch.
"I've been much fitter and I've had defences of my titles, so I'm a lot different person than December of 2018.
"It's not going to play into my hands to get robbed again, and I don't plan to come to America to get robbed on two decisions. I've seen it happen in the past, and I don't want to see it again."

One of the best words to describe my family is transcontinental. Like many families, we were semi-nomadic and ended up settling down in different places. So while I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, some of my family resides in a small town in Connecticut called Fenwick and I started my family in Newport Beach.
Regardless of the distances involved, my extended family never let distance be a factor in how close we are. That's one of the many reasons why I recently took my wife and three daughters on vacation to my family's historic home in Fenwick. Not many people have heard of this town—it is the least populated municipality in Connecticut—but the architecture there is breathtaking. Take, for example, the home my great-grandfather built. The shingle siding is characteristic of that area, as is the gable-on-hip roof and overhanging room on the second story that covers a screened porch. Seeing a beautiful home like this growing up created a strong association between East Coast architecture and the feeling of "home" in my mind.
The homes I build for my Newport Beach and Corona del Mar clientele are a bit different, but are strongly influenced by the same styles used in Fenwick and many other areas of the East Coast. Of course, there are many styles there— sprawling plantation-style mansions and petite cottage-style homes are just a few—but what do I mean by "East Coast architecture"?
My focus is mostly on the homes of the Eastern Seaboard, where dormer windows let in plentiful natural lighting and shingle and wood panel siding reign supreme. It is these aspects of the Eastern Seaboard that are alluring to the homeowners of Orange County. Southern California is a refuge from the seasonality of the Midwest and Northeast, which is why so many people move here. These motifs remind our homeowners of the American Dream and are built in a perfect climate. As an added bonus, the homes fare incredibly well along the picturesque shores of Newport Beach and Corona del Mar because they were built to withstand the cold, wet shores of the east. With both the style and location in mind, it's not hard to see why living in an Eastern Seaboard home along the Newport Coast is the true American Dream.

MK7 Golf 1.4 TSI Cold Air Intake System
Still wondering why your factory airbox is sitting on top of the engine? That's because you haven't switched to Leyo intake that's why!
Cold air from the outside is now directed straight onto the filter instead of being routed to the engine top mounted airbox. Position of the filter is as far away as possible from the engine and high quality aluminum heat shield blocks unwanted heat to ensure the needed cold air is provided to the engine.
With the ugly gap on the side filled and top of the engine freed up, engine bay looks much more attractive and clean.

Manor Farm Barns, Chinnor Road, Crowell
Five tastefully converted barns set in a landscaped gated development looking over fields. These near derelict barns were brought back to life with an outstanding quality of design and finish. They stand next to the B4009 at Crowell and are edged by open fields and farmland.
Crowell, a small village in Oxfordshire, is located between Chinnor and Kingston Blount. The main part of the village sits at the foot of the Chiltern Hills. Despite being such a small village Crowell has it's own parish church – The church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Although largely reconstructed in about 1880, parts of the church date from the 13th century.

Twin Spin Slots Review
The Twin Spin slot machine is an online video slots game available at a range of leading online casinos. The underlying software was created by casino developers NetEnt who focused on setting a strong Twin Spin RTP. The leading software developer with a significant presence in the online slots space. Twin Spin slot offers a lively set of visual graphics and a theme based on traditional pub fruit machines.
The Twin Spin slot UK machine has an array of convention symbols on offer. Such as fruits, diamonds and 7s, as well as the classic 'Bar' symbol. In total, the Twin Spin slot game offers players a total of 243 paylines across 5 reels. This offers players the chance to scoop regular wins.
Moreover, the Twin Spin RTP is set at a reasonable 96.6%. This is pretty good when one takes in to account the amount of paylines of offer. In terms of pay-outs, the Twin Spin slot game offers a potential win of 1000x. Again, pretty impressive!
Smash a high winner by hitting 5 diamond symbols on a single payline. Of course the more paylines you hit, the more your win is multiplied by.
If you are looking to play, we've got everything covered. In our 'Twin Spin Slot UK' review we are going to show you how to play Twin Spin. However first, we are going to look at what features and bonuses the Twin Spin slot UK offers.
Twin Spin Features, Specials And Symbols
The team at NetEnt have taken a somewhat basic approach to the Twin Spin slot game. The reason for this is that the amount of bonuses and features on offer is rather small. We take from this that NetEnt had a traditional player in mind when building the Twin Spin slot UK machine. Nevertheless, there are a couple of features available, which we will expand on below.
First and foremost, the main feature that the Twin Spin slot game offered is that of the 'Twin Spin' feature. Essentially, this particular Twin Spin slot UK features awards 2 side-by-side reels that display the same two symbols upon landing. This gives you an enhanced chance of matching the required 3 of more symbols to win a prize.
If the Twin Spin slot game is in the mood to pay out, then these matched reels can expand to 3, 4 or even 5 reels. All have to be the same symbol. In terms of what you need to activate this feature, the Twin Spin slot machine offers this randomly. As a result, there are no scatter symbols in contention.
On top of this, the only other bonus symbol available within the Twin Spin slot UK game is that of the wild. The wild symbol can replace all other symbols available within the game. However it can only land on reel 3. Ultimately, whilst features and bonuses are lacking in quantity, NetEnt have made it really straightforward to play Twin Spin, which is perfect for beginners!
So now that you know what bonuses and features are on offer within the Twin Spin slot uk game, we are going to explain how to play the slot throughout our 'Twin Spin RTP' review.
How To Play Twin Spin Slots?
Before we tested out the new slot, our 'Twin Spin RTP' review process sought to configure the total stake size process.
There are two keys things to note before you play Twin Spin slot UK, as you need to configure both the 'Level' and the 'Coin Value. Regarding the latter, the minimum coin value is 0.01, with the maximum set at 0.50. Regarding the level, this begins at 1 and goes up to 10.
Essentially, by increasing the level, the Twin Spin slot UK subsequently increases your total stake. However, in doing so, you also increase your statistical chances of winning. So, to configure your total stake size per spin, you need to take in to account both the level and the coin value. The Twin Spin slot UK game allows you to change these values by clicking on the green toggle left and right.
You can see how much you're gambling by looking at your total stake size. View this next to the 'Bet' box in pounds and pence. It's really easy to understand exactly how much you're staking towards your winner.
To clarify, the minimum total bet size (Level 1, 0.01 Coin Value) amounts to £0.25 per spin. At the other end of the spectrum, the maximum Twin Spin slot stake (Level 10, 0.50 Coin Value) that can be facilitated per spin is £125, which is most definitely not for the faint hearted!
Our 'Twin Spin RTP' review was also pleased to see that there is an auto play feature. This means that you do not need to keep hitting the spin button every time you spin the reels! Incredibly, you can set the auto play feature right up to a maximum of 1,000 spins. If you prefer to do things manually, then the spin button is located in-between the auto play and max bet button, and has the 'Refresh' sign inside it.
Other than that, the Twin Spin slot UK game is an ultra-simple slot game to play. Even if you activate the main 'Twin Spin' bonus, you do not need to do anything, other than cross your fingers and hope for that big win!
In terms of what to look at for, the smaller wins are based on the 10, J, Q, K, A range. From there, the pay-out order moves on to the cherries, bells, bars, 7s and finally, the diamond symbols.

Twin Spin Slots Review Summary
In conclusion, our 'Twin Spin RTP' review found that NetEnt have done a good job here to cater for those that prefer basic gameplay. especially those that like slots that resembles that of a traditional pub fruit machine. Not everyone is looking for this. But if you are then you've hit on the right slot.
If you are the type of player that just wants to spin the reels without worrying about features, then the Twin Spin slot game is most definitely up your street. Moreover, with the Twin Spin RTP is set at a highly competitive 96.6%, alongside 243 paylines. As such, there are plenty of opportunities to walk away a winner!

If you're a casual fan of the NBA, the Golden State Warriors have become tough to root for. In addition to the team simply being too good (Thanks, Kevin Durant), the super squad boasts the league's most annoying (Draymond Green) and cocky (Steph Curry) players. But everyone still likes head coach Steve Kerr. Everyone, including Tiger Woods, apparently.
On Thursday, Kerr was asked on 95.7 The Game if he got any surprise texts following the Warriors' third NBA title in four years and he singled out the 14-time major champ.
"I don't want to be a name-dropper but I guess the one that kind of (surprised me) was Tiger Woods," Kerr said. "That was pretty cool."
Name-drop all you want, Steve. You're the man. And we're talking about Tiger freaking Woods.
So how did these two guys become acquainted? Kerr is an avid golfer, but he went on to say in the interview that he and Tiger bonded "over our back problems" last year.
We're glad to see both guys are doing better physically. However, after a Thursday 78 at the U.S. Open, it doesn't appear Kerr will be sending his buddy any congratulatory texts back this week.

I'm so excited for them to start doing cute "sister" things together, as they get older. They better be best friends eventually! And yes, I'll be one of those annoying mothers who constantly tells them how much they should appreciate each other and how lucky they are to have each other!

Cute Sisters!
I'm so excited for them to start doing cute "sister" things together, as they get older. They better be best friends eventually! And yes, I'll be one of those annoying mothers who constantly tells them how much they should appreciate each other and how lucky they are to have each other!

I love hate my sisters! HA! Your girls are adorable I see a strong bond! =)ReplyDelete
I'm sisterless as well, and always wanted one. Luckily my best friend became my SIL, but it's still not the same.ReplyDelete
Your girls are adorable, and I think they look a lot alike.
They are so cute! They look like they are having so much fun. I thought they looked alike when they were first born, now I am not sure. They have a lot of similar features though, you can definately tell they are sisters!ReplyDelete
They look more and more alike I think. Sisters are the best! Lily definitely needs one someday! Of course I fought with mine, but now we are good friends and closer because we have shared experiences our whole lives. And it's cool that now we both have kids around the same age.ReplyDelete
It's nice to see Kirsten sitting next to Natalie! Don't think they look that much alike. I hope my girls will be good friends as they grow up. They have their moments and sure know how to push each others buttons.ReplyDelete
I am so blessed to have sisters...but I have always loved you like a sister, Ashley!ReplyDelete
awww.. they are so cute & precious!! i bet they will grow up being best friends!!!!ReplyDelete
Well, technically your husband gave them a sister...jkReplyDelete
I wish I had an older sister. I have a much older sister-in-law, who has been great, and a much older half-sister I am not close to. And I get to be the older sister to Constance. But I still wish I had had an older sister close to my age.

My sister one year for Christmas had a cardstock and frame and had the word SISTER cut out and inside the letters are pictures of she and I throughout our lives...
It is a marvelous piece of treasure
that is indeed special! I love looking at it.
She did the same for my brother with the word BROTHER and pictures of just the two of them...
I was indeed blessed with a sister and a brother!
Your daughters are so sweet and put right next to each other are even double sweet!Of course with you they are triple sweet!
Love always,
Your girls are so cute!! I think Kirsten looks more like you and Natalie looks more Stephen. Although it would be interesting to see pictures of them at the same age. They are both adorable, and it's no surprise that you two have such gorgeous kids! :) I feel fortunate that I have never wished for a sister - in fact I probably got a few more than my share! :)ReplyDelete
One things for sure they are ADORABLE!!! You can tell they are sisters! Wonder what a boy would look like!ReplyDelete
They are adorable and do look alike.ReplyDelete
I didn't like my sister much growing up. She bugged me when she'd steal my clothes, wear them, then instead of returning them hide them under her bed. But, I have to say, she has been my best friend as adults. We lived right next door to each other after we got married, had our first two babies nine and six months apart, and even though we have lived in different states for awhile now, she is my best friend and the person who understands and I can turn to first.
Ha, some of us had too many sisters growing up! :) But I appreciate and love them all now for sure! I couldn't imagine life without them! So cute that Natalie and Kirsten have each other!ReplyDelete
I know what you mean. I do have a sister of course, but I always longed for a sister that was close to my age whom I could grow up with. I only saw her about 2 weeks of the year and she was 8 years older than me, so we weren't exactly close. We didn't become friends until we were both grown up.ReplyDelete
