2/16/2024 0 Comments Modest mouse im still here![]() ![]() And though they loved - and were beloved by - Calvin Johnson, they were not precious enough to fit into the K Records stable. They were too alpha to be part of the Grrrl Punk scene. They were not cool like the Portland bands. And though they were from the Northwest, they bore no relation to Grunge. They dared to co-mingle Hardcore with Folk music. From the outset, there was no doubt that the trio was inordinately smart and sensitive - possibly even “touched.” But they were also noisy and unkempt. Their lead singer grew up in trailers and communes and cults (depending on which story you’ve heard). And though they appeared “college aged,” higher education was far from their plans. They were teenagers from the wrong kind of suburb - just a little too far from Seattle. They came from smaller cities and landed in the big city. ![]() But, for nearly a decade, they were platinum selling Rock stars.Īs unlikely as The Talking Heads ascent was, it seems positively ho hum compared to the rise of Modest Mouse. They were art school kids, produced by Brian Eno, who made white Funk music with synthesizers and African beats. By almost any any standard, The Talking Heads were unlikely winners. And Richard Hell was probably the coolest. Television were handsome critical darlings. Patti, meanwhile, was iconic and musically simpler. I mean, the Talking Heads were genuinely odd. That last question, however, may have been a fair one. And he’s certainly not asking why he and his band, and not Patti Smith, Television, The Ramones, Blondie or Richard Hell, became international Pop stars. He’s not asking how his American mother and Scottish father met and married and conceived him. He’s not wondering how he and the band got from their home to the studio or the concert. The line is both a provocation for the chorus as well as a suggestion of a certain kind of ennui - that feeling of having everything you thought you wanted but realizing that you feel empty nevertheless. Though he partially answered himself in the preceding lyrics, he was drawing a character more than he was genuinely inquiring. When David Byrne famously asked “how did I get here,” the question was mostly rhetorical.

These extra orders get played at the end of your turn and, if your opponent hasn’t been as lucky, it means you essentially get an entire extra turn. You can also get extra orders for clearing sectors in the Battle for the Death Star. Vader fight is critical to a successful win, as whoever wins that battle gets three-to-five additional orders for that round. It’s an inevitability, but the Empire can improve its odds by placing stormtroopers in your path, forcing you to have to roll one higher than the printed success number to advance. As I mentioned before, the Rebels have to take out the shields in order for the Death Star to become targetable by your fighters. While the center section of the board is where all the main action takes place (there are a lot of small minis to shift about and troop placement choices to make), the literal side missions are equally important in the overall game. The Rebels have to offload their squadrons from their capital ships before the Death Star turns them to space dust, then try to take out as many TIEs as they can (and hopefully the Super Star Destroyer as well) while waiting for their ground troops to finish off the deflector shields. There’s a bit of strategy as you zip your fighters and the Millennium Falcon or Executor (pronounced Ex-e-CU-tor, not Ex-EC-utor, as my son keeps on having to remind me–though I do find highly amusing the idea that the Imperial Army has an entire Super Star Destroyer of lawyers flying around trying to serve the Rebels with legal papers). I focus on the Rebels’ goals because the Empire’s goals are rather straightforward–stop the Rebels’ advance and kill them all. Each player selects Rebels or Empire, sets up their flotillas accordingly, then take turns facing off as the Rebels try to take down the deflector shields on Endor, destroy Darth Vader and the Emperor, and blow up the Death Star. The board itself is shaped like a TIE Advanced and has three separate areas of play: The Battle of Endor, The Battle for the Death Star, and Luke vs. This time around, instead of fighting for equitable trade on Naboo (my eyes rolled up in my head just typing that), you’re recreating scenes from the infinitely better Return of the Jedi. Hasbro has taken that classic game, rebranded it, updated the theme, and brought it back as Risk: Star Wars Edition. It recreated key scenes from the movie in a light strategy game that had a ton of moving parts and a lot of rolling of dice. Say what you will about the Star Wars prequels (and believe me, I could say a lot), Queen’s Gambit was one of the best, and remains one of the most sought-after, Star Wars tabletop games to hit the market (this is back before Fantasy Flight Games got their claws into the franchise). (photo by Anthony Karcz)Ī long time ago, on a tabletop far, far away, there was a rather excellent board game based off a rather uneven prequel to a famous trilogy. While Kylo Ren might have face time on the box, the contents are all Original Trilogy. 2/15/2024 0 Comments Old style typeface for windows![]() The curviness of the font gives it a lot of personality compared to the other “C-fonts” – which can be both good or bad.Ĭonsolas is a monospaced typeface designed by Lucas de Groot. Candara has curvy diagonals (see the letter x) and has similar spacing as Corbel and Calibri. A humanist sans-serif has calligraphic influences. Cambria could be said to be a more “sturdy” font compared to Calibri, which can pass as more “casual”.Ĭandara is a humanist sans-serif font designed by Gary Munch. Cambria has relatively strong diagonal and vertical serifs but small horizontal serifs. A fun detail about Cambria – it has a square full stop and not a round full stop. As Calibri is the default font in all versions of Microsoft Office and Word, it is now one of the most used typeface families in the world (which might be one reason you want to use another font…).Ĭambria is a serif font designed by Jelle Bosma and replaced Times New Roman as the standard body font in Microsoft Word before Calibri became the default font for both headings and body text. ![]() Those using Windows 8 and up has access to Calibri Light, a thinner version of the regular Calibri. ![]() It replaced Arial as the standard font in Microsoft PowerPoint from Office 2007 and forward. CalibriĬalibri is a sans-serif font designed by Lucas de Groot and has subtly rounded stems of the letters. The six C-fonts are Calibri, Cambria, Candara, Consolas, Corbel and Constantia. Let’s explore them as potential fonts for your next PowerPoint. The C-font collection consist of three sans-serifs, two serifs and one monospaced font. They were all named with the beginning letter C as they were to emphasize that they work well as ClearType fonts (a technology introduced by Microsoft in 2002 to render text in a font system) and are part of the ClearType Font Collection. In 2002 Microsoft commissioned six new fonts to be introduced with the Microsoft Vista system. Six of these “safe” fonts are the six “C-fonts”. There are only 40-something fonts that are safe to use if you want your PowerPoint to show correctly on any computer or in any version of PowerPoint (read more about these fonts here). Not only because fonts are communicating a feeling and a mood for your presentation, but also for practical reasons. When you are creating PowerPoints and choosing a font you have to make your selection carefully. 2/15/2024 0 Comments Storyboard pro mac![]() PowerProduction Software's mobile Apps can be seen and purchased in the Apple Store.StoryBoard Quick and StoryBoard Artist are perfect preproduction software applications for directors, indie filmmakers, TV producers, advertising creatives, game developers and educators who want to bring their imagination and stories to life. ![]() PowerProduction's storyboard software has been recommended by Apple for directors, writers, educators and creatives who want an easy-to-use, easy-to-learn storyboard software application for Mac to produce high-quality, professional storyboards.It's easy to create dazzling digital presentations for any media pitch: for film and video features shorts, YouTube Videos, commercials and school projects.

And, considering that the month ends with the lucky planet Jupiter ending its retrograde on Saturday, December 30, in your 8th House of Transformation, rest assured that those you reach out to (only friends and lovers you truly miss, no reconnecting with toxic former lovers or besties, please) will be more than happy to hear from you. Just a few days later, on Friday, December 29, lover Venus enters confident Sagittarius and your 3rd House of Communication, helping you find the courage to reach out first. Whether you're visiting your parents and reaching out to friends you grew up with or just experiencing some holiday-induced nostalgia, and texting an old flame as a result, don't be surprised if you connect with loved ones from (what feels like) lives past during the powerful full moon in wistful Cancer on Tuesday, December 26.

The sunburst albino Pacman is the yellow color of the albino with strawberry coloration.

So using 20 wh/mi you would need a battery that has at least 1000wh. In order to maintain those speeds, even with spirited pedaling, you will be using wh's in the mid teens to low 20's in the best conditions. At speeds above 20 mph you start to get in to wind resistance even in still air on level ground. It seems like you may be attracted to the speed aspect so let's use that as a denominator. Pedaling can alleviate this somewhat of course depending on how much effort you want to provide. The faster you go, with hills and headwinds, stops and starts and overall mass factored in an e bike is not all that different than a gas engine car, the more power you use the more energy it takes. Wh/mi is the MPG of the electric bike world. The manufacturers tend to be pretty optimistic about the range of their products but it really depends on the end user. Thank you in advance for any feedback you have! Bikes that look more traditional are more appealing to me. I would consider others, I have heard Bosch mid-drives are very good but I think I want a throttle. 50 mile range seems to be an issue with all of them with the specialized rated as one that could possibly do it. I've been looking at the Specialized Turbo, Easy Motion NEO Nitro City, iZip E3 ProTour. It also must be reliable, I don't want something that will breakdown or need a new costly battery in the next 5 years. My hills are 6-10% grade for about a mile. I would like the bike to be able to climb a hill without the motor should I run out of juice, but not sure how feasible that is with the weight of these (and me). I am 6'3", 220lbs.įeatures I am pretty set on having are: Hydro Disc brakes, 28MPH and a throttle in addition to the rack I mentioned above. I'd like to be able to go 50 miles on a fun ride. I will need a rack as I don't like riding with a backpack. My commute is about 8 miles each way with large hills. The bike will be used to both commute and go on fun rides. I am hoping this is the month I make a purchase. I've spent way too much time researching and not enough time on a bike. 2/15/2024 0 Comments Business logo maker online![]() Offers over 5,000 logo templates, industry-specific icons, and access to a graphic designer.Īffordable and user-friendly.
