6/21/2023 0 Comments Alpinesoft vinylstudioWhile you might get a little bit more soundstage depth with something like the Bellari VP130, it costs more, is a lot noisier, and it won’t digitize your vinyl. Honestly, in the day where four- and even five-figure cartridges are more commonplace than one might think, just the fact that this thing even plays music for $199 is pretty impressive. Swapping the Croft amp and preamp for a few vintage 70s receivers revealed that the NAD outperformed a couple (the Pioneer SX -424 and 535), was on par with another (Harmon Kardon 330), and fell a bit short of what was on board with the Marantz 2230. The onboard phonostage in the Croft preamp was still miles better than the little NAD, so I did what any self-respecting slacker would, and lowered my standards. While we won’t be having a detailed discussion about finesse, air and extension, this little box did a very respectable job at getting the analog essence to the speakers. A pair of Audio Art IC-3 interconnects ($110) transferred the signal to the Croft pre and power amplifier combination, both played through the latest Klipsch Heresy III loudspeakers.Īmazingly, a lot more than I expected. Three budget turntable/cartridge combinations put the PP 3i through its paces: The AudioTechnica AT-LP120 (now discontinued for a new model with a phono preamp/USB link built-in) with Denon DL-110 MC cartridge the new Rega RP1 turntable with stock Ortofon OM5e MM cartridge and a freshly refurbished Dual 1219 from Fix My Dual, fitted with a brand-new Grado Red cartridge. While there are only a handful of budget MC cartridges on the market, the NAD’s match with Denon’s DL-110 ($139) proved amazingly good. The PP 3i has inputs for MM and MC cartridges, surprising given this price. If you are just dipping your toe into the waters of analog, the PP 3i is a great place to begin building your budget analog front end. You just power it up, plug in your turntable, and roll. Setup is straightforward, with no switches or added ephemera. It only draws a couple of watts from the power line, so those worried about being green can sleep easily, knowing that leaving the PP 3i on 24/7 won’t cause glacial meltdown. The PP 3i is powered by an included 24-volt wall wart and is always on. The PP 3i comes with Mac/PC compatible AlpineSoft’s VinylStudio Lite software or it can be downloaded with a quick visit to the NAD website, allowing you to save WAV files of your favorite albums that’s another review for another day. If that isn’t enough, the NAD PP 3i even has a line input so that you can digitize your cassette collection (and 8-tracks). Now that it costs about $75 to gas up your car, a $199 phono preamplifier is a real bargain, especially one that digitizes your vinyl collection via the onboard USB connection.

6/20/2023 0 Comments Chimpanzee hand clasp"People often see these types of strange behaviors we see in chimps and wonder if it is some sort of group identification sign.’’ "This type of behavior, which seems so trivial in many ways - whether you clasp hands or cross arms - has been suggested as signaling membership in a group," Wrangham said. "Alternatively, people have suggested that maybe it signals a special type of social relationship if two individuals do it more often with one another. "The pattern varies widely within the group, it’s not closely associated with friendship, it doesn’t vary by age or sex, and it does not depend on how long an individual has been in the community." But what we’re showing with this paper is that none of the obvious possibilities figure out," Wrangham said. In fact, he said, the only connection researchers were able to identify was the maternal one. The chimpanzees are copying their mothers, not identifying with the larger community. Like human children, young chimps learn many behaviors from their mothers, from which foods to eat to how to use tools, and - among mothers who engage in it - how to perform high-arm grooming. "This is the first time anyone has realized this, and the pattern is delightfully clear." "Even when they’re adults, even after their mothers are long dead, they still do it the same way their mother did it." Wrangham said.Īnd since young chimps may groom almost exclusively with their mothers until about age 12, Wrangham said it’s hardly any wonder that the grooming style stays with them into adulthood. While it’s tempting to assign some larger significance to the behavior, Wrangham said studies this far haven’t been able to show whether high-arm grooming carries any social meaning. 6/20/2023 0 Comments Spelunky 2 sunken cityFly up with Qilin until you get to the secret optional exit door at the very top.

This is the most inefficient and difficult strategy, as the player will need a Hired Hand or other player's help to carry both the Ushabti and the Clone Gun through levels.Spelunky 2 contains 32 achievements. Cloning the Ushabti clone in Tiamat's Throne and carrying it to the Sunken City will then give the player a Qilin there. By carrying the original to 6-3 of Neo Babylon and cloning it before it hatches, the player will create a clone that will hatch on Tiamat's Throne. The Clone Gun may be used on the correct Ushabti containing the Qilin. This is the simplest method of bringing the Qilin to the Sunken City, although requires players to be in a co-op game. If a player is riding the Qilin while another exits Tiamat's Throne into the Sunken City, the other player will still be on top of the Qilin as they enter the area. It is possible to circumvent this by placing the Hired Hand and the Qilin at the very top portion of Tiamat's Throne opposite of the side containing Tun and the backlayer entrance, destroying the two vertical Forcefields with Bombs, and heading for the Sunken City once the Hired Hand has picked up the Qilin.īy destroying the two vertical Forcefields, the Hired Hand will no longer attempt the jump over towards the section containing Tun, letting the player leave for the Sunken City while preventing the Hired Hand from trying to follow them. As the Hired Hand will want to follow the player into the Olmec-shaped ship leading to it, they will drop the Qilin to enter the backalyer containing it. There are three known methods:Ī Hired Hand can carry the Qilin for the player as they enter the Sunken City. It is possible to take the Qilin past Neo Babylon and Tiamat's Throne into the Sunken City and even the Cosmic Ocean. See also: Guides:Skips Beyond Neo Babylon There are still multiple other methods to get past the lasers, all of which are significantly harder. Shown here is the safest and most efficient method to use the Qilin to ascend past the lasers. Using the Qilin to ascend past Tiamat's Throne and reach the entrance to the Sunken City. However, the volatile nature of Neo Babylon makes this more complicated than it initially seems. The player will have to successfully escort the Qilin through 6-3 of Neo Babylon in order to do this. After passing the chamber of electric traps, the player can pass by Tun and use the Olmec shaped ship to travel to the Sunken City, leaving the Qilin behind. The Qilin's main usage is to easily and safely fly past the many Spark Traps and Forcefields above Tiamat's Throne. Qilin can fly infinitely and can rapidly shoot fireballs. 6/20/2023 0 Comments 80s porn stacheThis started because some men made the stance style ironic by styling it, which didn’t really go with their whole appearance and ending up looking like creeps. It can be used as an insult to some’s look or appearance and, for the most part, ridicules the men who have the mustache style. Pornstache is seen by some as a defamatory term. The term was revived due to the famous Netflix 2013 series Orange Is the New Black featuring a character played by Pablo Schreiber called George Mendez, who sported a fantastic example of a Pornstache. Even in today’s times, it is considered a sign of incredible lascivious and sexy and is usually styled by handsome older men to look desirable. Thus it is now being referred to as Pornstache. It was a symbol of masculinity and machismo, styled by several male pornstars of that era. The thick whisker mustache and rest of the face to be cleanly shaven, which we now call a pornstache, was actually a trend that started during the 70s and the 80s and was known as “ du jour“. As simple as it is, it is formed by combining two words, ‘ porn’ and ‘mustache,’ which in itself are pretty self-explanatory. Never.Firstly let’s get into what a Pornstache is. The hipsters of today are bringing facial back… but they’ll never bring this level of ‘stache back. but then it was the Seventies.Īnd to send us off into the Eighties is Zorro, with one of the most impressive ‘staches I’ve ever seen… Perhaps this man’s choice of attire leaves something to be desired,…. Let us not forget, the ‘stache was the perfect compliment to the ‘fro. It looks so out of place, you’d think it was Photoshopped. There’s nothing worse than a boy, barely past puberty, donning an outrageous ‘stache. Of course, the ‘stache is not always a good thing. Reggie Jackson is a prime example, but many more baseball players come quickly to mind: Mike Schmidt, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage, Thurman Munsen, etc.Įven inanimate mustachioed mannequins can’t contain their insatiable desire for the ladies. Well done, sir.Īthletes in the Seventies sported their staches with pride. Would you buy candy from this man? His velour shirt and bling perfectly compliment his giant ‘stache. What is commonly referred to as the “porn stache” is best described as a full bodied “lip sweater”. Leave your helmets at home mustaches are the only required headwear on a motorcycle. You have just witnessed why the ‘stache was invented. It wasn’t just to attract chicks, it was a statement, baby. Those opting for a clean cut look were ostracized until they learned to embrace it. Just so you know, there was a point in time that EVERYONE on college campuses had facial hair. It’s almost unfair that he could be the undisputed king of both drums AND moustachemanship! But none can compare to Peart’s gargantuan thigh tickler. I know there have been other great mustaches in rock: Frank Zappa, Lemmy and Freddie Mercury spring to mind. But none – I repeat, NONE will ever top the feather duster that adorned the upper lip of the great Neil Peart…. Mind you, the homosexual community took it up a notch, so I can’t lay all the credit to hetero seventies swingers. These were beacons of manliness the way a stag’s rack and a lion’s mane are signals of their raw manhood. Baby Boomers were in their prime, and now it was time to start broadcasting their virility via tight pants and mighty womb brooms. The seventies were the decade of manliness and machismo. Call him what you like, just don’t call him clean shaven. 6/20/2023 0 Comments Black bookShe is able to create a sympathetic creature. Rarely have I ever been as moved by a character's heroism and charm and guile and wits. The range on display in this movie is astonishing. It is a stunning turn that flatly demands award consideration. Her grasp on the emotional turmoil of Rachel/Ellis is of profound proportions. She is a Dutch beauty who, if this role is anything to go by, is on the verge of a magnificent career. Carice Van Houten is not a household name to most. However, I struggle to call it an ensemble because it would be ignoring one of the singular performances in recent memory. It is one of the best ensembles of the year. This emotionally weighty film even manages to deliver a few wonderfully witty moments to break the supreme tension of it all. I was utterly swept away by the intrigue, drama, romance and tragedy. "Black Book" satisfies everything that I truly want from a film. Throw in a magnificent screenplay, marvelous cinematography, a plot that churns along with the efficiency of a Swiss watch, and the added bonus of a gorgeous actress - the result is sure to be a huge winner for me. I have loved them all with a passion ever since I was a small child. There are no more exciting themes for me in movies than tragic romance, espionage and escape. While evolving into a brave spy, she must learn how to reconcile her own personal vendettas and her surprising romantic feelings for Müntze. From deep within the Nazi camp, she is able to strategically plant a microphone and to use tidbits of acquired knowledge in order to provide the Resistance with vital information and plans. She uses a quick wit, a gorgeous voice, some feminine charms and a collection of Queen Wilhelmina stamps to crawl her way into the arms of Herr Müntze (Sebastian Koch). Via cunning and fortunate circumstance, she manages to transform herself into Ellis de Vries, a blond bombshell who infiltrates the German command in the area. Rachel is crossed and doubled-crossed and triple-crossed, eventually winding up as a member of the famed Resistance. This is truly a definitive epic, in every cinematic sense of the word. And my goodness, there are a tons of them. So much of this film relies on surprises and shocking twists that it would be unfair of me to detail too many plot threads. Rachel is immediately on the run, aided by her new sailor friend. However, one day, while flirting with a young man sailing on the nearby lake, her safe zone is destroyed in one fell swoop by a low flying bomber. She, like many Jews at that time, were surviving by any means necessary in order to outlast the Nazi tyranny. So back we travel, to occupied Holland, circa 1944, and we see a more youthful Rachel, diligently practicing a bible passage in order to earn a meal from the family who is hiding her from the Germans. The meeting brings back painful wartime memories and Rachel heads to a quiet place by the river to recollect our central story. The film begins in 1956 with Rachel Steinn, a school teacher at an Israeli kibbutz, being accidentally found by an old acquaintance, who is on vacation with her husband. One gets the feeling that the ghosts of Gregory Peck, Hedy Lamarr, Ava Gardner, Spencer Tracy & Jean Harlow are embodying the cast of this classic espionage drama. The lush visuals, orchestral music, European styling, wartime romanticism and cliffhanging chapters all add a certain 1950's charm to the white-knuckle plot. I use the old-fashioned term, yarn, because "Black Book" is very much a film that feels like it was made decades ago. I never would have guessed that Paul Verhoeven (Yes, the Paul Verhoeven who directed "Total Recall", "Basic Instinct" & "Showgirls"!!!) would challenge them both with a gripping, edge-of-your-seat World War II yarn. Last week, I replaced the Scorsese epic with Sofia Coppola's luscious biopic of "Marie Antoinette". Who said that they don't make films like they used to? A couple of weeks ago, I declared that "The Departed" was the best film of 2006. 6/20/2023 0 Comments Gif brewery add frameGIF, short for Graphics Interchange Format, is a straightforward bitmap image format that comes with support for animations.

When it had scanned about 90% it stopped like before (not on a particular number, which seems likely be memory related, rather than quantity) and, instead of quitting after a couple of minutes like before, I just let the device sit there. I tried it again after developer contacted me asking for further details. I originally reported that it simply didn’t work because my observation was that it got to a point in the scan where there was no activity for several minutes, and I didn’t think waiting would make a difference. On big photo libraries, a long pause before finishing scan I figured out that the oldest files were on the left, but that would make it easier. It would be helpful to see the file type. As some background, I have a design business and often have an original jpeg graphic and a secondary png graphic that I’ve removed the background on so that it is transparent and can be put on shirts and the like.
