Twitter spiral saw2/13/2024 “Initiation”: A university’s pledge week takes a sinister turn when a star athlete is murdered, setting off a spree of social media slayings that drives a group of students to discover the school’s dark secrets. “Gangs of London: Season 1”: The murder of London’s most powerful crime boss sets off a violent struggle to fill the underworld void in this British TV drama. Before long, they are wreaking havoc on the swamps and trailer parks of Florida. “Feral State”: A grifter uses his charisma to attract a gang of followers made up of runaway and orphaned children. “Die In A Gunfight”: A modern update on “Romeo and Juliet” with a dash of “Succession” mixed in, this film features Diego Boneta and Alexandra Daddario as star-crossed lovers from powerful rival families in present-day New York City. As she does so, however, the body count mounts in this horror flick. “Jakob’s Wife”: After a chance encounter with “The Master,” a woman dissatisfied with her marriage to a small-town minister discovers a new sense of boldness. “Dream Horse”: Based on a true story, this film stars Tony Collette as a Welsh village bartender who convinces her friends and neighbors to pool their money and buy a colt, thus entering the dizzying world of high-stakes horse racing. But they try too hard to avoid stepping on too many toes, resulting in a film that’s muddled and messy on many levels.” However, she noted, “‘Spiral’ exists in a very different cultural moment, and the filmmakers attempt to speak to it, with a killer using torture as a means of exerting bloody justice on corrupt cops. “The original torture porn trend was a product of the political climate of the time, as the ‘War on Terror’ manifested ‘enhanced interrogation techniques,’ Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo, CIA torture reports,” writes Tribune News Service critic Katie Walsh in her review. “Spiral”: This latest entry in the “Saw” franchise features Chris Rock as a police detective investigating a grisly set of murders by a Jigsaw copycat killer. ![]() The reboot of an aughts horror series known for going heavy on gore tops the DVD releases for the week of July 20.

Recent shootings in las vegas 20202/13/2024 ![]() It included links to common conspiracy theory fodder like Freemasonry, the Trilateral Commission and “The Rothchild (sic) Family.” George Soros, a common target for antisemitic conspiracy theories, is listed as one of the “Great Minds of the Twentieth Century,” alongside Albert Einstein and others. While it included ordinary topics like “Travel” and “Shopping,” one section was devoted to “Powerful Organizations Bent on Global Domination!” His personal website included syllabuses for his past courses but was largely a list of “Resources” with hundreds of links to sites related to his personal interests. His most recent full-time employment was as a business professor at East Carolina University in Greenville until 2017. Polito had worked for schools in Georgia and North Carolina, his now-removed LinkedIn page showed. Polito’s LinkedIn page listed him as a “semi-retired university professor” in Las Vegas.

Type of cockatoo2/12/2024 ![]() The bird should have out of cage time daily. Allowing the bird out of its cage lets it stretch its muscles and flap its wings. To provide your Solomons cockatoo the right exercise, give it toys and allow it to fly around your house. If not, the bird will become depressed and likely sick. That being said, Solomons cockatoos require a lot of physical and mental stimulation. Cockatoo, (family Cacatuidae), any of the 21 species of crested parrots (order Psittaciformes) found in Australia as well as in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. ![]() Unlike dogs, birds don’t need the type of exercise that requires all of your care and attention. You’ll need to go to a pet store to find a bird mix specific to cockatoos. At least 50% of the Solomons cockatoo’s diet should come from this mix. You obviously want to provide this bird seeds and water, but supplement fruits, vegetables, legumes, and other fresh foods so it can get all of the vitamins it needs.Įven though fresh food is a must for cockatoos, the majority of its diet should come from a cockatoo seed mix specifically. Vary the cockatoo’s diet to make sure it gets all the nutrients it needs. They are found in Australia and the smaller island countries to the north and west, and they live in forested areas of all types, from eucalyptus groves to pine. In captivity, you want to replicate the bird’s natural nutrition, even if the nutrition is delivered through different types of food. All cockatoos have remarkable crests and curved bills. Though their plumage is usually less colorful compared to other parrots, they are bigger and stockier. There are eight found in South Australia. They also eat insects and larvae at times. Australia is home to 14 of the 21 species of cockatoo (true characters of the trees) birds recognized globally. In the wild, Solomons cockatoos primarily eat a diet of fruits, berries, and flowers.

Shadow warrior classic redux playtime2/12/2024 ![]() And Blood is one of my all-time favourite games and I've beaten all 6 of it's episodes + Death Wish on Extra Crispy.Īnd yes, of course we're playing on the hardest skill that does not respawn every enemy every 60 seconds because you want to conquer the game at its hardest so there's a sense of achievement for completing it without feeling like you've left something out. Oh thanks 6 < > Showing 1-6 of 6 comments.(Classic Reprint)Horace Bushnell, Herbs and Spices: Self-Sufficiency (The. The Shadow Warrior's prototypes from Classic 97 do not work. Jump into the middle one (it's fake), and follow the small corridor to see a Rail gun. Warrior (Agent of Influence) (Volume 2)Russell Hamilton, A Share of the Spoils. Shadow Warrior game in my last post, correct Well, not only that (which sounds pretty awesome on its own) but NOW as a promotional deal the original classic. Near the location of the Green key are 3 portraits lined on the wall. Shadow Warrior is built upon the successful Build engine, that brought you Duke Nukem 3D. Duke Nukem is fine I guess but I don't care much for it. Beside the Gold key door, is a painting in a red light: it's a fake one, so jump into it to get the secret. The hardest part of Duke Nukem for me is figuring out where to go as it's level layouts seem to be the most complicated?Īlso the game is outright stupid and incohesive compared to Blood which is all-around polished and nice. I just hate being forced to be thrust into a difficult challenge that does not even fit in the plot of anything around it, it's just there as a random hastily thought of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ design choice.Īn important question indeed is WHY is a game as hard as it is? Well out of the 3 main buildengine games Shadow Warrior has the most retarded answer.īlood had hitscan cultists that thankfully could go fast and all enemies fit nicely in the game. Also ♥♥♥♥ the Nuclear Warhead secret at the beginning, I'm not taking it just because I've seen it in a youtube video. I thought Shadow Ninjas were ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ with their firetrail attacks magically coming out of their rotten arses but I've found out they can be taken down quickly so they aren't that much of a problem. And there is absolutely nothing satisfying about beating a pack of tiny insect ♥♥♥♥♥ that serve no purpose to the lore, unlike blowing a pack of cultists to pieces. Lo Wang discovered Master Zillas demonic scheme to rule Japan, using creatures summoned from the dark side. There's no reason for them to be this fast or have any purpose to be amongst all the thugs around. Power corrupts, and Master Zillas corporation was corrupted to the core. Combine the brute force of overwhelming firepower with the elegant precision of a katana to annihilate the merciless armies of the shadow realm in an. But so far it's only the hardest because of the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bees and I blame game devs for the ♥♥♥♥♥♥ design choice of putting retarded bees there. Shadow Warrior is a bold reimagining of the classic 3D Realms’ shooter from independent developer Flying Wild Hog (Hard Reset) starring the legendary and quick-witted warrior Lo Wang. Shadow Warrior is the hardest game as I've just started playing it on "No Pain No Gain" for the first time.

Pro tools price student2/12/2024 ![]() And for the small price tag it’s a very desirable option. Reaper is also a reputable program, one which has more and more followers every year. Academic pricing is a really great way of getting your software of choice, whether you actually are a student or not. Whatever option you choose, there certainly are ways to minimize spending when it comes to your audio software. If you are a Windows users your free option is limited to Audacity, which is more of an audio editing program than a full on audio production software. ![]() Ardour is an open-source freeware program that’s only available for Linux and OS X. If you don’t want to spend any money on software there are still some free options out there. $40 is an exceptionally good deal for an audio program, and there are many die-hard Reaper supporters out there that wouldn’t use anything else. If you are only using your software for personal use, or if your business doesn’t exceed a revenue of $20,000 per year you are eligible for the discounted, $40 license. There are many out there that swear by (_insert audio program here_), but if you’re frustrated with your current software and want to try a perfectly good alternative then give Reaper a try. The Super Cheap OptionĬockos’ Reaper is an cheap option for those that haven’t chosen their audio production software of choice. There’s no reason to pay full price for software, especially if you are a poor home recording enthusiast. If you have a friend in college, or a family member that’s currently a student you can bend the rules by having them buy the software for you. I had a hard time finding a way to purchase Logic Studio online at an academic price, but many universities have Apple products, and you can usually buy it from them. Avid’s Pro-Tools 9 is similarly priced, although a little pricier, at $295. Apple offers Logic Studio for only $199 if you are a student. If you are a student you qualify for academic discounts, severely minimizing the purchasing price. Academic Pricingįirst of all, if you are a student you can sometimes get a better deal on the various audio production software available. However, if you don’t want to spend your next month’s rent on Logic Studio or Pro-Tools then there are some alternatives. No wonder software piracy is so popular, especially if you an amateur home recording enthusiast with more credit card debt than income from your studio. Last time I checked, the five hundred dollar price tag of the average audio production software was a bit too much to handle.

Air max 7202/12/2024 ![]() These made up the Northern Lights Pack, which emulated the shifting tones of the Aurora Borealis – shimmering blue purple for the night and glowing greeny blue for the day. The Nike Air Max 720’s original release on February 1st, 2019 featured two dynamic colourways that coalesced around a simple and powerful theme: nature. Meanwhile, each Air Max 720 was constructed using 75% recycled material to express Nike’s intention to achieve sustainability through their Move To Zero initiative. It was decorated with curvy indented lines that alluded to the Air Max styling of the 90s, alongside a distinctive boomerang badge where the swoosh would normally sit. ![]() The upper was made of a puffy engineered mesh for a soft feeling against the foot. These two innovations secured the outsole, while the rest of the design followed from there to amplify its comfort and style. Secondly, they added a split seam so that the TPU would stretch without breaking as the foot pressed down into it. Firstly, they gave the sole a foam centre to provide a stable base for the airbag to wrap around. Developing such an extraordinary component presented some interesting challenges, and the creators wondered how they would be able to manufacture it with the strength to hold up to everyday use. This gives it 360-degree visibility along the length of the outsole, with the same from bottom to top, adding up to 720 – hence the name. Reaching an imposing 38mm at the heel, the eye-catching full-length Air cushion is Nike’s tallest ever. And with that, the decision was made – Nike would once again produce a revolutionary shoe, this time in the form of the unconventional Nike Air Max 720.Īs a lifestyle sneaker, Nike designed the AM720 to provide all-day comfort rather than running performance, and the exaggerated sole exhibited that idea. In the end, Small’s team came to the conclusion that such a large heel would communicate the highest level of comfort. Of course, within the context of Air Max’s groundbreaking technology, which constantly seeks to advance the frontiers of innovation and fashion, this might seem like an unusual thing to be concerned about. So, in the following year when an even bigger heel was proposed, many at Nike, including Footwear Design Lead Jesi Small, wondered if they had gone too far. Then, in 2018, the brand pushed the boundaries of the Air Max by releasing a shoe with a massive 32mm heel. Each subsequent Air Max design sought to take visible air even further, providing runners with more and more support with each new model. When Nike first revealed their Air Max technology through a transparent window in the sole of the Air Max 1, it conveyed performance. Jordan Aerospace 720 x Lyrical Lemonade.The anatomical heart logo on the tongue, sketched by Hailey’s doctor, explains the surgery process for what Hailey’s mom calls her “very special heart.” Gold specks on the outsole and other golden elements reflect Hailey’s affinity for sparkly things, completing the lovable design. Squiggly lines on the midsole and laces, drawn by Hailey, evoke the serenity of ocean waves. A detachable bracelet, adorned with 10 charms representing Hailey’s favorite things, pays tribute to her love of customizable dolls. Five hand-drawn hearts on the toe box symbolize each family member. Nike Air Max 1 ‘86 OG “DOERNBECHER” Hailey Leyva Color : Multi-Color/Multi-Color-Multi-Color Release : Size : Men’s & Women’s Hailey, who underwent five heart surgeries, celebrated her medical journey with a special heart-inspired shoe-the Air Max 1 ’86.
