Marilyn Burns is one of cinema’s best known scream queens and was in her early 20s when she won the role of Sally in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Let’s begin this dusty, blood-filled journey through Texas with some of the things Burns was subjected to on the film’s set. To say nothing of the athletic screaming and real injuries suffered by one of Leatherface’s targets, Sally, played by actress Marilyn Burns (RIP). Like so many great movies, it was filmed under remarkably difficult circumstances-yielding agonizingly authentic performances from its cast. For myself, a year-long dedicated horror film fanatic, I make it a point to re-watch my favorite horror films during October’s 31 days, and TCM ‘74 is always one of them. First of all, it’s that time of year again if you’re still keeping track of the current date or happen to remember what we used to use calendars for. And I’m glad I saw it before I was a critical, analytical snob.A Japanese movie poster prominently featuring Sally (played by actress Marilyn Burns) for ‘The Texas Chain Saw Massacre’ 1974.Īs we’re all in need of a good distraction right now, let’s momentarily escape into the cinematic world of hillbilly cannibals, as told by Tobe Hooper in 1974’s The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. It’s this same approach and execution that, like Sleepaway Camp II (which I mentioned earlier in the week), I think makes it so successful. What, at one time, made the film so divisive, now seems to be what makes it so unanimously loved.Īs I said above, I have nothing but love for TCM 2. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is everything The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is not: it’s unsubtle, it’s bright and flashy, it’s funny, and it’s gory as all get out. Whether or not Hooper intended to create the celluloid fever dream that is TCM 2 ultimately doesn’t matter, because he succeeded in spades. I think his body of work is kinda spotty, and in terms of his two greatest successes: I think The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was a group effort – one that was effective and successful because of all involved, and I think Poltergeist truly was directed (or “guided” at least) primarily by Steven Spielberg. Now, director Tobe Hooper claims he set out to make TCM 2 as darkly humorous and weird as it ended up being, and I want to trust him considering how out there the final product is – but I’ve never believed Tobe Hooper to be a very visionary director, so it’s hard for me to think everything that happens in TCM 2 is intentional as Hooper has led on. I clarify this because, while I love TCM 2, I can understand how someone who was an adult in 1974 and saw The Texas Chain Saw Massacre in theaters would have a less than favorable reaction to TCM 2 upon seeing it a decade later.Īnd for awhile, that seemed to be the consensus for horror fans of a certain age group – at least, until, the next generation came along and hoisted TCM 2 into the air, praising its bizarro performances and turning it into some sort of cult hit. Sure, I think it stands on its own as a sequel (it’s so singular, how could it not), but I also think me seeing it before I started thinking critically about film helped me accept it as canon. Now before you all chase me out of town with torches, let me assure you: I love The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. One such film is the absolutely bonkers The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2. And it’s clear to me now that my open-minded opinion on certain films exists only because I devoured them on an empty head – for which I’m incredibly grateful. That sort-of unrealized thought process of, y’know, “just throw whatever at me now and let me figure it out in 15 or 20 years when I’m all grown up”. I enjoy being a somewhat jaded, somewhat snobbish free-thinking adult who is able to analyze and interpret the art and media he consumes – but man, I do look back on those early days of watching movies without judgment fondly. The uncritical, accepting fondness for something, simply from not having the knowledge or reference point of anything else. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that innocent, wide-eyed naïveté of which all outside stimuli is consumed and filtered through when you’re a child. With 13 Days of Sequels I’ll be reviewing horror sequels every weekday for the last two weeks of October.

In order to understand how chemicals interact and how molecules within chemical samples interact, Avogadro’s number must be used. It is done so that weight can be compared with the number of atoms within the substance (as defined by the number of moles) since weight is easier to keep track of than the number of atoms in the chemical sample.Ĭalculations involving more than one chemical require the use of Avogadro’s number and moles. By representing 6.02214076 × 10 23 atoms, moles are used in chemical computations. The chemical reactions involve billions of atoms interacting with one another and being rearranged however, it would be impossible to represent the movement of billions of atoms.ĭespite that, scientists still need a unit of measurement that can represent billions of elementary entities. As a result, the number of atoms is 6.02214076 × 10 23, which is called Avogadro’s number.Īvogadro’s number and the mole are important concepts in chemistry. There is the same number of elementary entities within one mole of carbon 12 as there are atoms. Scientists use moles as a way to measure the number of elementary entities found in a sample of chemicals. A mole is a unit of measurement that is used to state the amount of a substance. In the case of moles, however, this definition doesn’t help much. The molar mass of a chemical substance is the mass that one mole of that substance possesses, the mass that one mole of a given substance possesses. A molecule of O2 has a mass of 2 × 16 = 32 amu. During each turn the player has the ability to move subordinate units on a board with a hexagonal grid and attack enemy units. The game takes place in a turn-based system. The 13 campaigns, set in different periods of time, show the struggles between factions: loyalists, rebellious, undead, dragons, peoples of the north and the knalgans' alliance.

As Ying Nan (Michelle Yeoh) tells her niece and nephew: “Thousands of years ago, all of our people lived in peace and prosperity, until the attack of the Dweller-in-Darkness. The fearsome dragon-like creature comes from another world and was trapped long ago by Ta Lo warriors. Shang-Chi and his sister Xialing (Meng’er Zhang). Sea snakes and eels, as well as horse manes and reptile scales. … it was interesting to try and figure out a way for her to move and to fly without it feeling too magical.'” She has a flowing mane and she silkily swims through the air. The red dragon who protects Ta Lo does not have wings, but can still fly. “The Great Protector was based very much on the Chinese-style (dragon),” said Townsend. They loos more ceremonial than protective, but these dogs can take care of themselves. They are outfitted with their own matching collars before the fight. During the climactic battle, one Fu Dog dispatches a Ten Rings baddie, and one of the little “soul suckers” becomes a Fu Dog dinner. It’s these kind of subtleties that we tried to put in the film.” They’re yin and yang… There’s a lighter one and a darker one in the film and they offset each other just ever so slightly. When one is roaring, the other one is still and vice versa. When one is breathing out, the other one is breathing in. “There’s one that’s male and one that’s female, traditionally, in Chinese mythology. They also tend to do the opposite things. “Fu Dogs always come in pairs,” Townsend told the Times. Townsend told the Times his team studied ostriches, cassowary birds and wombats: “Morris is a six-legged, headless version of a wombat, really.” He added, “We studied a lot of different animals and their behavior, particularly dogs and puppies,” which means Morris likes to greet people, warm laps and ride shotgun in the car.Īlso know as the Guardian Lions or Stone Lions, they are based on the figures usually placed on either side of a gate or an entryway in Chinese architecture. And plays with the two Fu Dogs, who are about 10 times his size.Ĭhristopher Townsend, the visual effects supervisor on “Shang-Chi” tells the LA Times, “He’s based on Hundun, which is a mythological character in Chinese folklore, sometimes considered the God of chaos.” According to a Marvel Wiki, he’s also called a Dijiang. The cuddly creature proves to be their key to gaining entry to the elusive land of Ta Lo, where he happily reunites with his fellow winged flock. (Only Trevor seems to be able to understand what Morris says.) Morris is a faceless, furry fellow who looks a bit like a walking footstool with wings and he’s a bit sensitive about being told he doesn’t have a face, Trevor insists. Until Shang-Chi (Simu Liu) and Katy (Awkwafina) demand to know what Morris is, the actor thought he’d been hallucinating him all these years. When they first encounter Trevor Slattery (Ben Kingsley), who’s also been locked up by Wenwu (Tony Leung), he is astonished they can see his unusual companion. The many fantastical creatures in Marvel’s Shang Chi and the Legend of The Ten Rings are based on Chinese mythology – and the adorable Morris partly inspired by, what else, puppies. Since the base color contributes highly to the final color, changing the base color can dramatically, or subtly change the color of the final finish. Part of the appeal of this type of color is the opportunity to create unique variations of the colors by using different base colors. Therefore, special proprietary coloring agents must be used to give a highly transparent finish. The system works as long as the candy layer is transparent. As such, these colors are said to be a "three stage" or "tricoat" system. Plus the Sanding Sealer prep previously of course.Candy colors work in conjunction with reflective basecoats, usually metallic, and clearcoat to create a finish system that exhibits a deep, colored sparkle that is not attainable with typical automotive paints. If you look closely you might see that I’ve missed a bit of orange peel here and there that I’ll go back to. Buffing using T-Cut The buffed area gleaming Once the orange peel was mostly eliminated I buffed to a high gloss using my favourite T-Cut on mutton cloth. I started with 400 grit then went through 8 to 1500 grit using a rubber sanding block on flat areas. The next step once the lacquer is hard enough is to flat sand to remove any orange peel. Spraying a clear coat gives a barrier against this and maintains an even colour to the red layer. The reason for spraying a clear coat is that if the Clear Red were flat sanded, it would be made thinner (and therefore paler) in patches. I sprayed a whole can of Clear Gloss and then left it to harden. The gloss top coat is shiny right out of the can You can see I have a bit of roughness to the finish at this point, caused by spraying in non-ideal conditions (a strong breeze!) I didn’t sand though as the clear gloss coats would smooth everything out. If I had wanted a darker red, I could have sprayed more coats. Spraying the red, first coat very lightĪ whole can of Clear Red has been applied. The first few passes of red were applied very light to avoid disturbing the metallic. Once the metallic layer was done it was time to start applying the Clear Red. First pass of gold lacquer over the primer Gold lacquer layer is done Here’s the first coat which you can see is quite transparent but it soon builds. I could have used a different gold or Inca Silver. Once the primer was on I sanded it smooth ready for the gold layer. The first step is to spray a coat of white primer to give an even base for the metallic layer. You can use a prepped body in sanding sealer of course! I think this could be for one of two reasons: firstly Fender may have had a special order for a custom colour and not had any bare bodies so used a stock sunburst body or secondly they may have just been sunbursts gone wrong that were sprayed over to hide a mistake. This is actually something that Fender often did as it’s not unusual to find a sunburst under a custom colour. I’m using the Guitarbuild body that I previously sprayed with a 2-tone sunburst. I have itemised the process in my Lacquer FAQs. Candy Apple Red is based on the old custom car technique of spraying clear lacquer over a metallic base coat, and was Fenders only truly “custom” colour, all the others being repurposed car finishes. Below I’ll show how to achieve a Candy Apple Red finish on a Stratocaster body. - Spaces should be made as soon as possible, and used to move cards into groups by suit.The object is to build down in suit sequences. - Same suit sequences should be preferred even though building is down regardless of suit.- Every second of elapsed time: -1 Point.This move is allowed only if no tableau is empty.Īt the start of the game, you gets 20000 Points. - Kings can be moved only to a spaces in the layout.ĭeal ten cards from the deck (in the lower right corner), one to each tableau.- Spaces may be filled with any available card or packed sequence.- If you have a descending sequence, they can be moved as a unit or in part to another column.- The top card of each pile is always available for play to another pile.- Build down (for example, a 7 can be played on a 8, 9 on 10).These files are the foundations and the tableau at the same time, and all action takes place on them. So to win the game is to clear the entire tableau of cards.ĭeal out 54 cards in ten piles as follows: six cards in the first four piles, five cards in the last six piles. Once a sequence is built, it is removed from play. To group all the cards in sets of 13 cards in sequence down in suit from King to Ace. Spaces should be made as soon as possible, and used to move cards into groups by suit. All tableau piles must be filled before dealing. Kings can be moved only to a spaces in the layout.ĭeals 1 card to each tableau pile by clicking (in the lower right corner).Spaces may be filled with any available card or packed sequence.If you have a descending sequence, they can be moved as a unit or in part to another column.The top card of each pile is always available for play to another pile.This puzzle game is for Spider Solitaire lovers who are seeking to take their Spider Solitaire skills to the next level. However, 2 Suit Spider Solitaire requires even more skill and concentration because there are two suits of cards involved. Build down (for example, a 7 can be played on a 8, 9 on 10) Just like Spider Solitaire, 2 Suit Spider Solitaire is a card game that uses two decks of cards.Layout:ĭeal out 54 cards in ten piles as follows: six cards in the first four piles, five cards in the last six piles. Spider One Suit is Spider with only Spades. So to win the game is to clear the entire tableau of cards. That is, starting with the aces and ending with the kings. The goal is to build four foundations (or piles), one per suit, in ascending order. A user-friendly site for both beginners and expert players offers 1, 2 or 4 suits Spider Solitaire card games to play with lots of perks on any taste. FreeCell Solitaire uses a standard 52-card deck. You can also double-click cards instead of dragging them to a foundation. Drag cards to move them between the waste pile, the seven tableau columns (at the bottom), and the four foundations. Click the stock (on the upper left) to turn over cards onto the waste pile. Number of decks: 104 cards, 2 Modified Decks (all cards Spades) īuild eight sequences in downward order from Kings to Aces. Big variety of Spider Solitaire games from different game developers. The goal is to move all cards to the four foundations on the upper right.The game is completed if you form 8 piles of cards.This is the easiest and the most relaxing variation. As soon as the column is organized in the correct consequence, it’s automatically removed from the screen. Layout the cards the same you would for a single suit. In 4 Suit, 26 cards of each suit are used. The column is completed only if all the cards have the same suit. In 2 Suit, 54 cards of two suits are used. Tips: you shall also pay attention to the suit of cards in each column. The main task for each player is collecting the columns of 13 cards from King to Ace. HOW TO PLAY The number of suits doesn’t influence the rules of the two suits spider much. The final 24 cards are squared and placed face-down in the Stock. When the game begins, the Tableau is dealt 28 of the 52 playing cards from a regular deck. Its your job to get them all to the top rights four foundations. In this case, your game is challenging enough to be interesting, however, it’s less difficult than a 4-suit solitaire. Triple Solitaire Turn 3 is played with three 52-card decks of standard playing cards. Such type has the medium level of the difficulty. The 2-suit spider solitaire means that there are two decks: 52 cards of one suit and 52 cards of another one. While, in real life, it means you deal with four suits, online you can choose the number of suits for a game and this is a great plus! Traditionally, two piles of 52 cards are used for each game. The general number of cards is usually unchanged. 3) Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks (RB2)Ī transfer from Wake Forest, Kenneth Walker III was a completely different back once he landed in East Lansing. My pre-draft WR1 holds his spot in post-draft updates. Atlanta can rotate him and Pitts inside and out to create mismatches on every play.Īdd in the fact that he’s one of the younger players in the draft, and you have a WR1 for a long time on your roster. Receiving a massive 38% target share, London had 88 receptions, 1,084 yards, and seven touchdowns. Those saying he’s just a contested-catch receiver either have not watched the film or want to push a narrative. London lined up in the slot 96% of the time during his first two seasons at USC, but he flipped to 85% perimeter in 2021 and had a breakout campaign. He’ll see a ~25% target share starting Day 1. Behind London, it’s a newly added Bryan Edwards, Olamide Zaccheaus, KhaDarel Hodge, and Auden Tate. Now, he gets to be the focal point at the receiver position alongside Kyle Pitts at tight end. 2) Drake London, Atlanta Falcons (WR1)ĭrake London has a big body (6’3 3/8″ and 219 pounds) and can win over top of you and generate separation at all three levels of the route. It’s hard to make a case for anyone else to be the 1.01 in 2022 dynasty rookie rankings. He’ll lead the RB touches/opportunities as the Jets move to a two-back scheme. While Carter can match Hall in the receiving game, Hall is a more well-rounded rusher. 2 role, absorbing the roles of both Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson. Hall will come in as the lead back, pushing Michael Carter into the No. Not only was he drafted, but the New York Jets traded up to pick No. The RB1 in the eyes of the vast majority of the fantasy community was also the first running back selected in the NFL draft. Hall then went on to run a 4.39 40-yard dash and posted a class-best 40″ vertical and 126″ broad jump. He set an FBS record with a touchdown in 24 straight games and was fourth in the nation in all-purpose yards at 147.2 per game. He rushed for 3,931 rushing yards, including 1,472 in 2021. 1) Breece Hall, New York Jets (RB1)īreece Hall did everything at Iowa State. Starting with the 1.01, let’s work our way through the first 10 spots. For these rankings, we are using 1QB as the default roster and PPR as the scoring format. Install Node.js and ToolsĪs already mentioned, you will need to install Node.js in your development machine. It's also recommended to add Android SDK's tools, tools /bin, and platform -tools directories to PATH variable. So, install the Android Studio IDE and, using the sdkmanager, install these:Īfter these, you will need to set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable to your Android SDK location.
Still, on DayZRP you're free to join a clan, or you can form a small group of friends, or even strike out on your own. The best things happen when players team up to raid, build, or just joke around. It's a cruel world, but a fascinating one. Other unfortunate infected souls tell of desperate journeys to reach the hospital, only to have friends fall mere metres from the hospital doors. This is a video game within a community where people constantly complain about the lack of population within the server and when things get introduced by players to potentially try out to help the population grow it’s always the same old shit from people that don’t enjoy playing majority of the time anymore.For more examples of the sort of adventures that can happen on DayZRP, look no further than this armed heist, a story of a hold up, a dead brother, and twisting allegiances. Im tired of seeing this “but in real life” or “I’m online when I’m raid” argument. If the owner/owners of said base you’re trying to get into isn’t home then you can’t raid the place, this forces RP between parties and allows for stories to develop. If you want to have a hub you’ll have to get creative or simply hang around an area, you don’t need walls to have a hub (Livonia Soup Kitchen)ģ. Again reducing lag in high traffic area and making it so that if people want to build somewhere it has to be within an actual building and not air locking grand dads warehouse with 15 walls with code locks. Removal of vanilla walls and expansion walls while keeping the door barricades mod. This also forces people to prioritize what they wish to protect of their gear instead of keeping it all within their base.Ģ. This helps cut down lag in areas that would be high traffic while still allowing people to have a “home” of sorts. If it can hold gear it’s a container (Gun racks, small wooden boxes, barrels, etc.) Outside of the base you’re free to as many stashes as you want. Two storage containers per person within said bases, doesn’t matter what it is. Introduction of storage limitations WITHIN BASES. We need new blood within this server, this “im not gonna play if such and such is done” is getting old.ġ. Removal of base building entirely goes against the incoming new players of DayZ and appeals mostly only to veterans that have very little interest left in playing on the server or will leave at the tiniest slight against them or their friends. I'm not saying it's an instant fix that will boost the player count to the levels of the "good old days" I hear about but I believe it would at least return to pre-Chernarus levels which is still more than double what it currently is. The vast majority of newer players I know were put off by Chernarus and I know for a fact (through knowing and speaking to many of them) that going back to Nyheim in combination with something like Eagles suggestion would bring many of them back and make more new players stay longer. It has its quirks, a lot of it lore related, and definitely needs fleshed out more but it's a great base. Nyheim lends itself to roleplay far better than Chernarus does and promotes interaction. I have had more fun in 2 days of playing the public server than I have in all of Chernarus since the switch. I like Nyheim itself, infinitely more than Chernarus, and in general so do most new players. The current crop of new players are looking for some form of base building and tougher raiding, that's just the reality of it. The map isn't the main issue and the server needs to attract new players. Named PC Game of the Year by the Academy of Interactive Arts and.
