It might not be cordless, but the low price, small size, and screw-on blade make this blender a good option to throw in your gym bag for a post-workout smoothie anywhere you can access an electrical outlet. All the parts are dishwasher-safe-including the blade, which is a nice bonus that most personal blenders don't offer. The lids do make a good seal, just be sure to screw them down very tightly to avoid leaks. The Ninja Fit comes with two 16-ounce cups, each with its own screw-on spout lid. It had no trouble with smoothies, but with just one (high) speed setting, it's not good for making chunky salsa or other chopping tasks. The Ninja Fit couldn't be easier to use: You screw the blades onto the cup and then simply flip it over, place on the base, and push down to blend for as long or short as you want. This mini blender had no trouble powering through greens, ice, and frozen fruit, but its teensy 16-ounce cups meant that it took two batches to make a full blueberry-kale smoothie. Power: 900 watts | Cups Included: 2 | Maximum Cup Capacity: 32 ounces | Weight: 4.7 pounds | Dimensions: 12 x 7.7 x 16 inches (The Pro 900 comes in many different colors, and some are available at a significant discount, to boot.) This is one of the more expensive personal blender options, but it's powerful and durably built, well worth the extra money if you're going to use it heavily. We didn't have too much trouble, but did find it a bit of a pain to carefully squeeze a sponge into the nooks and crannies beneath the blade itself. The blade assembly is hand wash only, but it comes off the base for fairly simple rinsing and wiping. When it comes to cleaning, most pieces are dishwasher-safe. It might be better for a smooth tomatillo dip rather than a chunky salsa. It has lots of power for crushing and pureeing, but the Nutribullet Pro 900 only has one speed setting and no real pulse mode, which means it's not great at chopping. The motor is not meant to run for more than 60 seconds at once, but that was more than enough time to complete each of our tests. The blender couldn't be easier to use you lock a cup into the base, push, and twist. You also get two cup rings, two handled lip rings, two flip-top to-go lids, and a recipe book. This blender comes with two BPA-free 32-ounce blender cups, which are larger than most personal blender cups, but still work just fine with smaller batches, like an individual smoothie or serving of dip. No unpleasant chunks of ingredients wound up in the final product. The results were consistently textured and easy to drink both through a straw and from the side of the cup. It did a great job with pretty much every ingredient we threw at it, making short work of kale, blueberries, dates, frozen banana, and ice. With its 900-watt motor, the NutriBullet Pro 900 is ideal for someone with a small kitchen who makes a lot of soups, sauces, and smoothies.

Yes, graphically the game is going to look pretty identical and a ton of content has carried over from last year's game, but the menus really feel hardly any different to last year's game. Modern Warfare 3 is going to feel the most similar to Modern Warfare 2 in its menus. Change for the Sake of Change (Photo: Activision) If you're someone who really enjoyed the frenetic and non-stop momentum of those games or vibed with the gunplay, but not the wall-running and jetpacks, this game strikes a strong balance of that high-speed gameplay with grounded combat. There are games that come close like Black Ops Cold War, but the speed of Modern Warfare 3 takes us back to the pacing of games like Black Ops 3. When these problems aren't occurring, I'd go as far as to say this is the best feeling Call of Duty in years. Hopefully Sledgehammer Games can find a way to fix this to make it feel like fights are less a game of chance and more based around player skill. While these things will always be present in shooters due to player connections and netcodes, it is prevalent enough to be seen as an actual issue rather than something that happens on occasion. No one can pinpoint exactly why this is, but it can feel like you're unloading a clip into someone's chest while they kill you in a burst that hits you faster than you can blink. If you go on various Call of Duty Reddit pages and forums, you will rightfully see a lot of people noting that Modern Warfare 3's TTK is all over the place. When it doesn't, it brings out a level of rage that I have not experienced with this series since before I could grow facial hair. When it works as it's clearly supposed to, it's a joy. The faster movement also means you can dodge and weave incoming fire to either escape or gain better positioning in the moment and you can flick your gun to people with greater ease.ĭespite all of this praise I give to how Modern Warfare 3 feels, it is also incredibly inconsistent at times. Of course, players who are faster on the trigger will have the advantage, but you actually have a fighting chance now as you will have enough time to react and at least get one or two shots off if not win the fight entirely. Similarly, the increased TTK and player health means that gun fights will feel exactly like that: a fight. Some people may not enjoy this because they got used to the slower pacing of Modern Warfare 2, but there are a lot of people who have been asking for this and it will get the adrenaline pumping for those people. There is very little about Modern Warfare 3 that promotes camping, this is a game that wants you to feel like you just snorted crushed up Dorito dust and injected Mountain Dew straight into your veins to fuel your virtual zoomies. On top of that, sliding can feel like the greatest virtual slip and slide, diving may actually get you out of a pinch since you will not be magnetized to the ground after you do it, and you can even work in some bunny hops in order to prevent yourself from being too easy of a target. It's actually engaging to make your way back to the action after dying instead of a total slog. For once, you can feel a sense of momentum building through you as you sprint through the map, allowing you to almost gracefully glide across the ground and mantle over waist-high walls and lightly parkour your way up a building. If you only watched people play 2022's Modern Warfare 2 on Twitch or had limited playtime with it, you may not even notice, but Call of Duty veterans are going to feel like Modern Warfare 3 is a totally different game. In the pursuit of being more "realistic" and "tactical," Call of Duty lost some of its fun factor. On top of that, movement was significantly reduced, and Infinity Ward gave the game a lot more weight by making players feel like they were trudging through mud. That was a game that had a lightning fast time-to-kill, meant to reward those with the quickest trigger finger, but ultimately made for a slower game as it rewarded habits like camping. The Best Call of Duty Gameplay in Years (Photo: Activision)Ĭall of Duty has had a bit of an identity crisis over the last few years, but especially so with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022). However, there is still a lot to discuss, and I don't think it's fair to totally write the game off or be dismissive of it if you do love Call of Duty. For those claiming this feels like a DLC, I can't say I totally disagree. The overall UI and presentation of the game is identical to the previous Modern Warfare game. The vast majority of weapons in the game are from last year's game. In the standard 6v6 modes, there isn't a single new map as the whole map rotation are remastered Modern Warfare 2 (2009) maps. For a series that has been heavily criticized for never changing, this is the first year where that critique actually may have some validity. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true,” says John Steinbeck. “The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. It is called good and evil.”Īnd the author Alan Moore’s in the house too, extending that to another huge, yet connected philosophy: “As far as I can see, it's not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad.”Ī couple of other writers are around too. Reaching for his regular’s beer tankard, Friedrich Nietzsche is here too, opening up a whole other can of worms, particularly religion, when adding that: “There is another old illusion. Yet joining him, Arthur Koestler adds that “nothing is more sad than the death of an illusion.” Almost certainly then, illusions are something we need to create or cling to, in order to cope with grim reality, to manage or, just as much, to be managed. The great linguistic and political thinker Noam Chomsky declares that, “If we choose, we can live in a world of comforting illusion.” It’s a tempting, and regular choice. What kinds of perception or illusions are emotional? Pulitzer Prize-winning author for historical fiction (how apt for this topic) Herman Wouk is here too, however declaring that “illusion is an anodyne, bred by the gap between wish and reality”.īut while that remark is made as a cold abstract, surely what powers the idea of illusion are emotions, and they colour the feel of any song about this idea. Getting the first serving, we’ve already heard from Albert Einstein, but with his theory of relativity he adds that “the distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” So with that in mind, we’re doing this topic last year and next year but also now. This could turn into a vast topic, and be applied literally everything, but the key to unlocking it is that the song must consciously play on that idea in some way.įirst up, as ever there’s a gathering of vigorous minds visiting the Bar (a place that is, of course, indisputably real) eager to discuss this idea, and as succinctly as possible across a range of contexts. They might come through in many forms – visual, perhaps from random tricks of the light to those cleverly constructed, auditory, olfactory, or via distorted memory, or any combination, as well as those made by society itself, such as via gossip and hearsay, the media, and other willing or careless misrepresentation. We’ve had some slightly overlapping topics in the past, such as authenticity and fakery, or the invisible, but illusions are tangibly (and intangibly) on different ground. This topic, is something ideally that’s central to lyrics of any song nominated, or at least playing a prominent role. When entering a certain frame of mind and reference, everything is illusion.īut if only that applied to my latest gas and electricity bills.įrom cold reality to lightbulb moments of perception or simply being gaslit, this week then our song topic is all about juggling this very idea, playing with what is real or not in the interplay of our senses, and how we perceive. Countries, borders, races, individuals, ownership? In theory, all just a human construct. “What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I definitely overpaid for my carpet.” – Woody AllenĮverything, arguably, is just a matter of perception, fizzling up through the extraordinary distorting prisms of our senses, our brains designed to phase down the constant pounding and pulsing of blood behind our eyes and in our ears, instead to reach for distraction, to create patterns and stories, to see and recognise faces, and to sense and snuggle as comfortably as possible into our strange worlds. “Illusion is the first of all pleasures.” – Voltaire Consciousness is the illusion.” – Craig Bruce “Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one.” – Albert Einstein Braiding the middle cuts the tension at your crown in half and thickens the ponytail.

Bed Head by TIGI Superstar Queen for a Day Thickening Spray Graham “ Beauty” Walker masterminds a terrific shutting grouping in which the House of Wax in a real sense breaks down, and characters sink into steps, fall through floors and paw through walls. Where the Film Succeeds Is in Its Enhancements and Set Plan. “House of Wax” is certainly not a decent film yet it is an effective one, and will convey a large portion of what anybody joining in “House of Wax” could reasonably expect, assuming it would be unreasonable to expect without question. The early reviewers have been brutal with Miss Hilton (“ so terrible she captures everyone’s attention,” says The Hollywood Correspondent), however she is no more excellent or more terrible than the run of the mill Dead Post-Young person, and does precisely exact thing she is expected to do in a film like this, with all the expertise, honestly limited, that is required. Realizing that somewhere around one and ideally two of the Post-Teens will get by for the continuation, alongside conceivably one of the Nearby Debased, we keep count: We know Paris Hilton is likely to bite the dust, yet are thankful that the makers initially permit her to run in red clothing through an old shed loaded up with things you would rather not know about. One Post-Youngster after another turns out to be Dead, as a rule while committing an idiotic error like getting into a pickup or going into the House of Wax ( “Hi? Anybody home?”). The Advancement of the Plot Is Unsurprising! That evening, when they are distant from everyone else at the camp (not judicious), she treats her boyfriend Blake (Robert Ri’chard) to a provocative dance that maybe helps him to remember a vi’deo he once saw Online. Is that a human hand standing up from the center of the heap? “This is abnormal,” notices Paige. Not the sort of individual you need to ask for a lift. The children ought to escape right away, yet no: They settle down for the evening. You don’t pull off front light breaking in Trimming tool Country. The person in the pickup truck drives up and sparkles his brights on them until Carly’s ex-con brother Nick ( Chad Michael Murray) breaks one of the headlights. They Choose To Camp for the Time Being in a Clearing in Obscurity, Agonizing Woods. I wouldn’t fret the sluggish beginning, since it gave personal chance to think about the excellent ineptitude of these understudies, who clearly address the bottom of the scholastic barrel at the College of Florida. Some will grumble that the film starts gradually, in spite of a hot simulated intercourse including Paris Hilton, and a dismal showdown with a leeway jawed nearby man who drives a pickup truck, an honest and utilitarian vehicle that with sickening dread motion pictures is constantly the decision of the corrupted. “This town isn’t even on the GPS!” expresses one representing things to come Dead Post-Youngsters. Aside from starring in Hulu's The Artful Dodger, Awosoga has appeared in television shows like Wentworth, Barons, After the Verdict, and The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart.In “House of Wax,” two carloads of undergrads leave Gainesville for a major football match-up in Rod Rouge, and take an unpropitious diversion en route, driving them into what resembles the Texas Trimming tool Theme Park.

Spore rot probably has something to do with the fact that my spore GA disk is crumbling to dust. That palette thing is caused by an incorrectly set up custom palette. Personally, I haven't had any problems attempting to put in or remove DG or DI except for locked creations. Mods like betterspore and dark injection override the default parts as well I'm pretty sure, so those mods must have lower priority. The reason why DG usually has to be in the highest priority is because it overrides every default game creature part with one that has fixed textures, and then it duplicates the parts over again under a different name, and those use the 'default' darkspore textures from arenas_textures. Spore can get really unstable a lot of the time. After re-installing, everything went back to normal again.

You can decide just how fuzzy or sharp you want the shadow to be, as well as choosing its position, color, and transparency. Each shape can have a transparent shadow which falls on objects or layers that are behind it. An “info” button on the app’s spartan toolbar enables you to adjust its other properties, such as fill color, border thickness, shadow and text label positioning. From there, you can manipulate the shape’s size using drag handles. To add a shape to your diagram, you simply tap and hold one to select it, and then drag and drop it in the app’s workspace. Many third-party OmniGraffle stencils are also supported. Built-in stencils include Shapes, 3D Shapes, Connections, Fonts, Fills, Software, and Variables. This well-designed app contains a number of sets of stencils, which you can use to quickly build professional-looking visual diagrams. The main menu of the app also contains seven very attractive examples of the types of diagrams that can be created with it, which should inspire users to utilize its extensive capabilities.Ĭreating basic shapes in OmniGraffle for iPad That’s very cool, and it’s an approach that other visually oriented app developers would do well to emulate. It contains several regions where you can actually try the tasks you just learned about. But this isn’t just a static page, but an actual OmniGraffle document. You’re greeted by a set of visual instructions that explain how to perform common tasks in OmniGraffle for the iPad. The OmniGraffle experience starts when you first open the app. It offers an extensive array of features, all wrapped up in an easy to use package that will have you turning out professional-looking organizational charts, flow diagrams, web page wireframes and other visual documents in no time at all.

To open the lid, just turn the nozzle counter-clockwise revealing the “open” label on the lid. But it does have to be completely closed to work, just a little bit of an opening and the cup will spill out whatever is inside. The lid is expertly crafted and won’t leak no matter how many times it's turned over or shaken. It is available in four different colors and holds 16 fluid ounces of liquid. The handle on the side makes holding the cup easy and the outside stays cool even when hot liquids are inside. Made of stainless steel, this vacuum-insulated cup is dishwasher safe and should fit in most cup holders. Thermos is a brand that has become synonymous with quality travel mugs, and the Stainless King is truly a wonderful option. This is why it’s one of the best travel coffee mugs. Expert engineering and craftsmanship put it at the top of our list. It's definitely one of the more unique-looking cups we’ve tested, but that doesn’t make it any less spectacular. It's also great at keeping your drinks hot, falling from 202 degrees Fahrenheit to 172 after two hours, 145 after five, and 116 after 10. Though it lacks a rubber bottom, the cup is still comfortable to hold and stable. The cup is incredibly durable and lightweight, coming in at 11.6 ounces for the 20 ounce capacity. Keep in mind that getting it put back together can be a bit of a hassle or might take practice. When you want to take the whole lid apart to clean, just unscrew it in the opposite direction, revealing the intricate mechanism beneath. To take a sip, just turn the lid counterclockwise to open the seal. The top handle is great for taking it on the go, but when you unscrew it you see the real magic. What really makes this mug different from the competition is its unique lid. The stainless steel bottle is durable, with paint that won’t chip from use. Available in multiple sizes, from 12 to 40 ounces, and in 11 colors, this travel mug features double-wall vacuum insulation to keep your drinks at the right temperature for hours. Hydro Flask is one of the most popular brands for travel mugs and cups for a very good reason. Even if you aren’t the adventurous type and just need something to shove in your cup holder that won’t tip over, then Stanley is your guy. While the MSRP is $25, it can often be found for $17.50, so you are getting one of the best travel coffee mugs out there for a great price. But when it does have a hot liquid in it, the heat only breaks through a bit allowing you to hold even scolding beverages without a problem. It kept the heat in fairly well, starting at 204 degrees Fahrenheit, dropping to 176 at two hours, 152 at five, and 125 hours at 10. It's a bit difficult to reassemble, especially when you haven’t rebuilt it before. The whole cup is dishwasher safe, but you might want to think twice about taking apart the lid. But other than the occasional dribble, it won’t leak even when turned upside down and severely shaken. Though the lid is useful, it does tend to leave a bit of water in the mouthpiece if you close it too quickly.
