I tend to look for muses who feed my brain and feel the need for that spark that pushes me further in to my own mind and what lies overhead.I am full of words and music, all backed up against my soul skin, chomping at my intellectual bit. What is it about me? Is it the fact that I grew up in an unconventional household with a poet for a father who was very much an individual? Or is it that I possess a little madness of my own that looks for kindred souls? These sirens beckon me and I am unable to resist their darkness, their lure, that glint in their eye that hints at something. They speak to me from dating websites, attracting me with their scintillating wit, their penchant for artiness, the lack of jobs and common sense hidden behind a mysterious veneer of fun, laughter and smoky conversations. Quirky eccentrics, creative, off kilter and left of centre alcoholic smokers, the weirder the better. ![]() There may be a winter of discontent, but there is a spring, summer and autumn of contentment to look forward to. one person's lack of the latest Iphone can breed discontent, whereas I, on the other hand, couldn't care less about material objects, shiny baubles, the latest hairdo or a Gucci handbag? I find contentment in laughter, my boys' cuddles, an intimate moment with my imaginary other, conversations full of light, dark and everything in between, a gorgeous meal.these are my moments of content, so when I find myself sometimes entering the realm of discontent, I have to remind myself of my small pleasures. But! if Isabelle Huppert can look ravishing at 60, it gives me hope.I am almost in my prime, or am I? When is that, anyway? When you are in your 20's, glowing with sex, discovery and earning money, in your 30's when you live the dream, with a house, two kids, one with problems, but both bright! or in your 40's when you find yourself, enter a new level of self discovery, find out what sex is really about and make your own life?

![]() ![]() The coffee beverage has its name not from the hood but from the colour of the hooded robes worn by monks and nuns of the Capuchin order. It is the diminutive form of cappuccio in Italian, meaning "hood" or something that covers the head, thus cappuccino literally means "small capuchin". 'Cappuccino' comes from Latin Caputium, later borrowed in German/Austrian and modified into Kapuziner. ("Textured milk" is milk that has been aerated to its proper foam level.) A minimum of 1 centimeter of foam depth A cappuccino is a beverage between 150 ml and 180 ml in total volume. The World Barista Championships have been arranged annually since 2000, and during the course of the competition, the competing barista must produce-for four sensory judges-among other drinks four cappuccinos, defined in WBC Rules and Regulations as " a coffee and milk beverage that should produce a harmonious balance of rich, sweet milk and espresso The cappuccino is prepared with one (1) single shot of espresso, textured milk and foam. As a result, the microfoam will remain partly on top of the mug when the espresso is poured in correctly as well as mix well with the rest of the cappuccino. Cappuccino traditionally has a layer of textured milk microfoam exceeding 1 cm in thickness microfoam is frothed/steamed milk in which the bubbles are so small and so numerous that they are not seen, but it makes the milk lighter and thicker. Caffè latte is often served in a large glass cappuccino mostly in a 150–180 ml cup with a handle. ![]() Outside of Italy, the ratios of espresso, milk, and foam typically equal 1/3 each.Ĭappuccino is traditionally small (180 ml maximum) with a thick layer of foam, while "latte" traditionally is larger (200–300 ml). In Italy, a cappuccino consists of 25 ml (1 imp fl oz 1 US fl oz) of espresso the rest of the cup is filled with equal parts of milk and foam. Commercial coffee restaurant chains in the US more often serve the cappuccino as a 360 ml (13 imp fl oz 12 US fl oz) drink or larger. In a traditional cappuccino, as served in Europe and artisan coffee houses in the United States, the total of espresso and milk/foam make up between approximately 150 and 180 ml (5 and 6 imp fl oz 5 and 6 US fl oz). The top third of the drink consists of milk foam this foam can be decorated with artistic drawings made with the same milk, called latte art. The espresso is poured into the bottom of the cup, followed by a similar amount of hot milk, which is prepared by heating and texturing the milk using the espresso machine steam wand. Cappuccinos are most often prepared with an espresso machine. Outside of Italy, cappuccino is a coffee drink that today is typically composed of a single espresso shot and hot milk, with the surface topped with foamed milk. The drink spread from Trieste, the main coffee port in Central Europe, throughout Italy, especially after World War I and later worldwide, and can be found at a number of establishments. The Italian cappuccino was unknown outside Italy until the 1930s, and seems to be born out of Viennese-style cafés in Trieste and other Italian areas in Austria-Hungary through the Kapuziner coffee in the early 20th century. The Viennese bestowed the name "Kapuziner", possibly in the 18th century, on a version that included whipped cream and spices of unknown origin. The physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso créma and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink. The name comes from the Capuchin friars, referring to the colour of their habits, and in this context referring to the colour of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). It is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, with a thicker layer of microfoam. Variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cinnamon or chocolate powder. Black, dark brown, beige, light brown, whiteĪ cappuccino ( / ˌ k æ p ʊ ˈ tʃ iː n oʊ/ ( listen) Italian pronunciation: Italian plural: cappuccini) is an espresso-based coffee drink that originated in Italy and is prepared with steamed milk foam ( microfoam). ![]() PS: If you have any more info about the gear or anything related, feel free to add a comment down below! This information came from a variety of sources collected in one article that sums up everything we’ve read/heard about the topic. I hope you liked this article and make sure to share it with your friends! ![]() Sometimes we tend to forget that great tone needs a great guitar player and gear won’t fix that (although sometimes it might help!) Of course, Jimmy Page’s tone was expressed by the gear he used, but it’s really important to break down his playing if you want to sound exactly like him. We recommend the Boostache for a great overdrive tone. Here Are Our Suggestions to Get His Sound: Budget #1: He used a Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII on tracks like “Dazed and Confused”, “You Shook Me” and “How Many More Times”.įor the wah-wah tones, he used his Vox “Wah-Wah” Grey Wah. Jimmy was one of the first people to use a tone bender before he started mass production. He likely used a Supro Thunderbolt with a pair of 6L6GC tubes and a Jensen 15-inch speaker or a Supro 1690TN Coronado with a 12-inch speaker (replacing the stock 10-inch speaker). He’s known for using small tube amps pushing them to break up so he can get a nice overdriven tone. Jimmy Page is known for using big Marshall stacks on stage, but this isn’t what he used at the Led Zeppelin I. In 1967, Jimmy stripped the finish of the guitar and started experimenting with some Day-Glo paints, he replaces the pickguard with a reflective one. Jeff Beck in 1965 with the “1959 Fender Telecaster” It was his main guitar with the Yardbirds and he used it in the early Led Zeppelin era. Jimmy got the guitar in 1966 and it was his main guitar until 1969 (replacing it with his Number One ’59 Les Paul). Jeff Beck gifted this Telecaster to Jimmy Page because Page recommenced Beck to replace Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, and later he would join them. most versatile Based on the fabled Supro that Jimmy Page used in the 70s, this 25-watt. His ’59 Telecaster has an interesting story. Hello all, Just wanted to see what your favorite guitar amp is. ![]() Jimmy used his 1959 Fender Telecaster in a blond finish and a white pickguard as his main electric guitar and a 1963 Gibson J-200 for the acoustic parts. The rig was pretty straight forward, as it was for the most albums back in the day. Right, let’s get into the gear he used for this album. He did the same thing while he was recording John Bonham on drums, blending close up mics with a room mic to give this distinct sound we all know and love. Up to this point, producers used to mic the amplifier right in front of the amp, but Page blended a room mic to capture the ambiance of the room giving some natural reverb to his guitar tone. Page used an innovative technique while recording his guitars. The album cover artwork was designed by George Hardie. It was produced by the founder and guitarist of the band Jimmy Page and was mixed by Glyn Johns. The album was recorded in late 1968 (September-October) in London at the Olympic Studios. The depute album of Led Zeppelin is undeniably one of the best rock albums to this day.

The terrorist hunt missions are back, and support up to four players. It goes better in the cooperative campaign, which is a true drop-in, drop-out cooperative campaign this time around. This was something of an encumbrance in the first game, and it is doubly fatiguing in the second. But with each death, you learn something more about the terrorist positions and tactics until, the fifteenth time or so, you bust in like a superhuman mind-reading, terrorist insane-o-flex psychopath, able to know exactly where each terrorist is and when each new terrorist will enter the room. It is extremely rare to get past two checkpoints in a row without dying lots of times. Then something else happens and you die again. Respawn again, and this time through you kill the first terrorists and fling a grenade at the hidey-hole that you already know contains a hiding terrorist. But then another bad guy, one you didn’t see hiding before, will shoot you in that pesky head. You respawn at the last checkpoint and this time through, you enter a different door, flank the terrorists and kill them. It’s what happens next that turns you from all-too-human agent to zombified counter-terrorist superweapon. You will die, and the terrorists rejoice. Terrorists will see you from across the room. This game, even in its normal setting, is insanely difficult. If there’s one thing you will hear a lot of during the single-player campaign, it’s the terrorist war cry “Shoot him in the head!” The terrorists will say a lot of stupid things, but nothing more often than “Shoot him in the head!” It is as if you are the evil boss monster of some other game, and they have just figured out that the only weak spot is your melon.īut from their point of view, you are an evil mutant terrorist-eating monster. is that they make the tactical game a little more arcadey. There are a handful of new weapons, but none of them are that different from the set of assault rifles and submachine guns in the last game. In the first Vegas you had to unlock weapons as well, and the point system was tied to experience points gained in multiplayer matches. Now let’s drop them to 40% because here isn’t really anything new about the A.C.E.S. New point system, let’s bump the odds up to 52% As you gain points, you unlock new weapons. Marksman points come by way of headshots and long-range kills, and assault points are accumulated by grenades and explosions. Shoot a bad guy with a shotgun from a few inches away and you’ll get a handful of close-quarters points. There are three categories: close-quarters, marksman, and assault. system, in which you gain points depending on the type of kill you accomplish. Odds down, hovering at 50%.Īnd then there is the “new” A.C.E.S. And then you can use that same character in the multiplayer game! Yawn. You can dress him in funky colors, adjust his body armor, or use a digital photo to mold his face like your doughy butt. This time through, your campaign character is customizable. ![]() There are a few tweaks that deserve mention. If your seventy missing dollars didn’t say otherwise, you might swear it was the same game. If the music seems familiar, it is because it is the exact same music from the last game. The 360 version is a little sharper than the PS3 version, but that shouldn’t be a big surprise for a port. Characters lack expression (especially hostages, who look as if they’ve been botoxed), and big gunfights can slow the framerate to a shuddering crawl. The textures of the environments are uniform and flat. It is just that there is nothing new to add to the first game’s list of sweet innovations.Įven the graphics and music are identical to the original game. We loved the room breach tactics, the flashbang effects, left-trigger cover mechanic and the inverted rope climbing from the first Vegas-and all that returns. Some of the names and places have been changed, but everything from the weapons to the tactics to the terrorists’ ad lib comments are the same. Not only does Vegas 2 fail to push forward the story began in the first game, but it builds a parallel story, following a character through an alternate series of terrorist attacks to the ones we watched Logan face in the first Vegas. Once the oddsmakers (read: me) got their hands on their review copies of the game, their suspicions were realized. A few gamers began betting against Vegas 2, wagering precious Mountain Dew and Ritalin money. The word on the streets was that 75% was too favorable. ![]() Back in Vegas, huh? The odds started to slip just a little. ![]() But then the name was released and we discovered that Rainbow Six Vegas 2 looked like it was going to be in Vegas again. ![]() ![]() The top of the Media Library window also has an icon for Plug-ins, including the Theme Designer for animated slideshows and the MultiCam Designer. You can now also add video effects on titles. Similarly, use the new Title Designer to build your own animated titles with keyframe controls and even motion blur. You can import any image to use its grey levels to control the transition shape, and then animate with keyframe controls. The new Transition Designer is especially interesting. What makes PowerDirector especially interesting is that these are not just fixed collections of presets - instead, you can design and save your own elements. The real power, however, is in the Timeline interface, starting with a traditional video editing look, complete with the Media Library at the top left and the detachable Preview window at the top right.ĭown the left of the Media Library are icons for the different "Rooms" of editing elements - Media Library, Effects, PiP (picture in picture) Object Overlays, Particle Animations, Titles, Transitions, Audio Mixing, Voice-Over Recording, Disc Chapters and Subtitles. PowerDirector starts out with your choice of interface - Timeline, or a simpler Storyboard for more novice users, who also can take advantage of quick drag-and drop editing and built-in templates. So let's take a tour of PowerDirector for video editing, and check out some of the interesting new features in this release. This release also adds split toning color to adjust shadows and highlights.īoth the new PowerDirector and ColorDirector have been enhanced to support H.265/HEVC for significantly improved compression beyond H.264, plus the new XAVC-S format for 4K and HD videos, as used in Sony cams. You can isolate objects, apply motion tracking and then change or enhance color. And for even more pro-quality results, CyberLink adds ColorDirector 3 for color grading, adjustments and effects.AudioDirector 5 provides round-trip audio editing, noise reduction and repair, including visual editing in frequency spectrum view and adds an amazing vocal transformer tool to alter vocals by gender and age (or like a robot or a duck).PhotoDirector 6 provides photo editing and adjustment and background removal, including 64-bit support for RAW images and adds a clever Face Swap tool to merge multiple group shots and automatically pick the best faces.Plus, CyberLink offers an entire suite of tools to work in concert with PowerDirector: Amazingly, for software starting at $70, CyberLink PowerDirector 13 is not anything like a simple "consumer" level video editor - in fact, like PowerDirector 12, PowerDirector 13 offers serious editing - including 2K/4K resolution, 100 tracks, titles and subtitles, customizable effects, overlay animation with motion blur, multicam cutting, hardware acceleration and much more. Aside from risking damage during transportation, you’ll also be running the risk of possibly never seeing your ukulele again. You should only surrender your ukulele to the conveyor belt as a very last resort. A smaller ukulele, such as a soprano ukulele, can be taken on a flight as carry-on baggage most of the time. Can you take a ukulele on a plane?ĭifferent airlines have different regulations when it comes to travelling with musical instruments. Trust me, you don’t really want to come back to find a warped or cracked ukulele. If you’re getting out of the car during the day, it’s best to take your ukulele with you because temperatures can shoot up really high, really fast. What is the best way to travel with a ukulele? Cover it with a light-coloured towel or blanket. So you should avoid leaving your ukulele in the trunk of the car whenever it’s in full sunlight. But even so, you need to protect your ukulele from heat. If you’re travelling by car, a gig bag is good enough protection since you probably have more space in the vehicle. These colorful HOT SEAL backpack type ukulele gig bags come in at only $20 and are padded very well to protect your ukulele. The free gig bag you get with your ukulele rarely offers decent protection to your beloved ukulele. This can be quite annoying when you are traveling by bike for example. While I would suggest using a hardshell case almost all the time, it can be a bit bulky and most of the time doesn’t have the ability to wear as a backpack. More affordable options that I were able to test in the past and get my recommendation are the tweed case GCX-UKT by Stagg and the bla ck one from Gator Cases. I only have one though as it’s quite expensive at $95. I use it to store my limited edition Kala tenor ukulele with solid golden acacia in. My all time favorite case is the tweed case by Kala. Why? Because instruments do get dropped, tossed and banged around a lot on the road. The shape of ukulele is cute, sound great, is a rhythm to stimulate the potential of the instrument.I highly recommend getting a snug-fitting, padded, hard case with a lock fastening for your ukulele. Best choice for you, or you can buy best ukulele for your family or friends. As an instrument, learning ukulele can let practitioners have their own expertise, conducive to enhance self-confidence and ukuleles need to cooperate with both hands, which helps promote the development of the left and right brain.

Before buy ukulele, there are some things you'll want to keep in mind. Even though ukuleles are less popular, starter instruments are less expensive than starter guitars, and performance-ready ukuleles are comparatively priced with guitars of the same quality, which is the difference from guitar. ![]() Because the ukulele is less popular, learning resources are less abundant for ukulele than for the guitar. The ukulele is less popular and is played in fewer genres than guitar. ![]() Even the largest ukulele are smaller than guitars, and are therefore more portable and better for travel.

The evil Queen Beryl has taken over the outer Solar System and taken their Jewels of Power. The pilot episode began with an animated section that shows how Sailor Moon and her friends, the Princess Warriors, were forced to flee to Earth. This proof of concept was inadvertently discovered by a Kotaku journalist while she was investigating the original pilot.

A few characters in the town will ask you to go on fetch quests, requiring you to replay levels to find specific items. My biggest complaint is how side quests get handled. In addition, there are a few spelling mistakes in the text, but so few that it’s not a distraction. For example, the loading screens are long, and unfortunately, there are plenty of them. While there is plenty of praise for the game, it doesn’t mean it’s flawless. Every level is unique, ranging from fighting on a moving train to riding minecarts in an abandoned temple. There are plenty of different enemies, creative designs, and puzzles so that I never felt bored during my time with the game. Mixing up your attacks is critical in progressing. The special attacks are on a cooldown meter, preventing you from spamming them. You also have a standard attack and special attacks you learn pretty early in the game. Each weapon you steal has a durability number, limiting the number of attacks you can do with the equipment. You use your sash to spin your enemies and steal their weapons. The action is fast-paced in this sidescrolling beat ’em up. I am happy to report that the soundtrack is available for download. There’s even a “hidden” folk song about Liao Tianding.

Characters roam the busy streets, rickshaws, and bicycles go by in the foreground all this detail breathes life into the world. Quite a bit of affection went into creating the atmosphere. In addition, the art retains a lot of the manga style, even during gameplay. The amount of detail that went into the story panels and the game is well done. The story unfolds through a series of comic book-style panels and is voice acted in Taiwanese and Japanese. The story is a good mix of comedy and seriousness the character growth throughout the game is part of what makes it so intriguing. And he’s much more ruthless than Captain Matsumoto and his crew. They send in a commander from the secret police to take charge. However, the Japanese government isn’t all that impressed with the way things have been going in Taiwan.
