![]() ![]() Me: Ok, well let’s start from the beginning. I was lucky enough to get one of the people who went through McKamey Manor to finally open up about his experience and let us know a little bit more of what is going on inside. It is all quite disturbing and mysterious. They have an online forum where the owners are famous for banning people if you speak up against them (I know for a fact because I was banned after asking a simple question). Stories of waterboarding and torture, those going through the haunt being forced to remain silent on their horrific experiences. There is a LOT of controversy surrounding the people that run it though. This haunt is designed to test every ounce of you physically and psychologically. You will be on your own personal journey into hell, tapping into your deepest fears. This house is the real deal and being dubbed as the scariest haunted house in America by the Travel Channel, TMZ and other big bangers. You have to sign a waiver before entering, only 2 people are allowed in at any time, you must be 21+, you will be filmed and photographed the entire time, must be in pristine health and obviously one brave mofo. The tour can last up to 8 hours and they used to do tours all year long. ![]() I truly couldn’t make this up if I tried. Turns out it was true the whole time AND this place was sitting quietly in a residential home in Rancho Penasquitos. This remained an urban legend throughout the years and I was certain it didn’t actually exist. There were stories of being in rooms with real snakes and spiders, forced into coffins with the lid being shut for a long time, being soaked in blood, blindfolded, forced to eat disgusting, rotten food, etc. Ever since I was in high school (late 90’s) I had been hearing about this haunted house in San Diego that was the ultimate horror experience and that nobody had been able to make it all the way through. ![]() ![]() ![]() The estate vineyards of Opus One, comprised of four parcels, sit in the western portion of the famed Oakville AVA in Napa Valley. It remains an ongoing testament to the founders’ vision of a singular wine that transcends generations. Rising gracefully from the vineyards, Opus One winery stands in subtle celebration of the land and the open space that surrounds the estate. Guided by the vision of our founders, winemaker Michael Silacci combines intuition and technical acumen with the dual perspective of viticulturist and winemaker. From tasting berries to careful sorting and extended aging in new French oak barrels, each stage of the winemaking process is afforded the same meticulous consideration and attention. After 18 months, the Opus One wine is bottled and held an additional 15 months until release on October 1st each year. Place, often defined as terroir, represents the geography, the climate and the essential human element which is captured in the wine’s balance between power and finesse, structure and texture. The essence of time is expressed in Opus One wine by the character of each vintage. The facial profile of the two founders is visible on their iconic label. Producing luxury wines from its Napa Valley vineyards, the partnership made its first vintage in 1979 and has made wine at Opus One since 1991. Opus One is a partnership founded by Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Pauillac, France, and renowned Napa Valley vintner, Robert Mondavi.

The amount of RAM you’ll need isn’t crazy high, only 4 GB, but more than that will allow you to keep all of those tabs open on your browser without slowing things down.In Minecraft, you are the creator of your own story based on every choice you will make in a world where everything from the ground to the sun is cube-shaped. In order to load all of those blocks across your voxel paradise, your CPU needs to be at least a Core i5-4690 or AMD A10-7800. At max graphics, integrated chipsets will no longer get the job done, so you’re stuck with getting a GPU that’s at least as strong as a GeForce 700 series or Radeon Rx 200 series. If you want to see the Nether Realm in all its firey glory or dive to the depths of the block ocean in search of buried treasure with max graphics, then your computer will need to pass the recommended system requirement test.

It’s also fairly CPU intensive and requires at least a Core i3-3210 or AMD A8-7600. This is a higher requirement than the newly announced Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, so let that sink in. While you only need 2 GB of RAM to pass, your PC will need at least a DX 11.0 GPU, such as an Intel HD Graphics 4000, a GeForce 400 series card, or a Radeon HD 7000 series card. ![]() The minimum system requirements for Minecraft are nothing to scoff at.

With consistent updates being pushed out with new content, new and returning players are constantly asking the question “Will my PC run Minecraft?” Despite its classic ‘8-bit look,’ Minecraft’s system requirements are actually higher than most people would expect. Some would even argue that the Hunger Games mod for Minecraft is the original Battle Royale that led to the likes of Fortnite and PUBG. It was the first of its kind and spawned dozens of copycat games in inspired plenty more with its simple, yet addicting gameplay loop.

Have you been here before? Today we’re announcing our newest dish: The Reporting Meatballs. "Nothing changes if nothing changes, and if I keep doing what I've always done, I'll keep getting what I've always got, and will keep feeling what I always felt." Although this is a true statement it is just another way of saying that you are stuck in a rut. If no-one rewrote the movie and changed the ending then it is not going to end differently WHY – because Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes.Īlbert Einstein said”- “The definition of insanity (crazy) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result" ever so often and I like to watch it, my wife says you have seen that movie a million times why do you watch it so much, I said maybe this time it will end differently, she says that’s crazy. There is a certain movie that comes on T.V. That is a true statement because to do the same thing over and over without ever having something change and you keep looking for a different outcome to happen is just crazy. There is a saying that goes:- “NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES, AND IF I KEEP DOING WHAT I'VE ALWAYS DONE, I'LL KEEP GETTING WHAT I'VE ALWAYS GOT, AND WILL KEEP FEELING WHAT I ALWAYS FELT." But the Bible says in Hebrews 12:1 “lay aside every weight”, in other words there is some stuff that has to change. So many of us hesitate to throw the sand out and still anticipate we will continue to move upward. I can try to resist change and try to stay the way I am or release my resistance to change and be like a hot air balloon that goes up when you remove the weight of the sandbags from it. Change is going to happen regardless, the question is how can I cause change to work in my favor. ![]() One man said Change is inevitable – Change is constant. The NFL is no longer on strike because something had changed. Women have rights just like men because something had changed. That is the result of change.Īfrican Americans are called that because there was a change from what we were called to this. ![]() ![]() Because of change what was once a big world has become ever increasingly small because it is nothing to get on your computer and Skype a person on the other side of the planet. The internet has changed the way we do business and meet people. Automobiles, Airplanes, Trains, and Cruise Ships have changed the way we travel. There was a time when telephones in peoples home and in every room of the house was the norm, but because of change most people don’t have a home phone why because cell phones have changed the way we communicate. At one time it was normal to have the television go off at a certain time of the night, but because of change that is not normal any more. What was once considered normal is now not because of change. Therefore, to live is to change, and any thought that we can avoid change in life is pure illusion. Just as gravity will pull you down when you jump change must happen in life, for to live is to grow to grow is to change. However, we can no more live and not have change than we can jump without feeling the impact of gravity. Somehow, we imagine that it is possible to live without change. The statement “Change is inevitable misery is optional” is truer than many of us care to admit. Understand that Nothing changes if Nothing changes. So today we are using this scripture and we are going to be dealing with the change. This is probably one of, if not the most quoted scripture when it comes to dealing with change. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 says “To every a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die a time to plant, and a time to pluck up planted A time to kill, and a time to heal a time to break down, and a time to build up A time to weep, and a time to laugh a time to mourn, and a time to dance A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing A time to get, and a time to lose a time to keep, and a time to cast away A time to rend, and a time to sew a time to keep silence, and a time to speak A time to love, and a time to hate a time of war, and a time of peace”. ![]() ![]() ![]() They can find the part you need, or let you know if your current part has been replaced or superseded.
