8/13/2023 0 Comments Pillow thoughts bookThis book was done by sections, and each was lovelier than the last. Wishing for love from afar, holding love tightly from up close, and all of the kinds in between. Well that book of poetry was quite the lovely read! Which is fitting, because it's all about love. Also, what is with these modern books that are over 20o pages long, but all the poems are less than 4 lines. Simplicity can have a beauty of its own, but I want more than Twitter-style rambles. Poetry is meant to be art in words, yet Peppernell, aside from a few mangled metaphors, never uses her medium in a creative or artful manner. ![]() Lots of them encourage wallowing in harmful emotions that don't help you get over anyone, suggest terrible expectations for romance, and are so utterly laden with teenage melodrama that never rises about the basest expressions of hurt feels. They are pretty common feelings when one is young and unwise in love. You've probably had the thoughts that this author had at one point or another. Mindless, self-congratulatory trash that, for a book written about a woman's love for another woman, oddly and unfortunately supports a bunch of disgusting heteronormative bullshit about one true love. The point of moving through all these tomorrows is to get to the one tomorrow that finally does get better.”Įvery time I think I've found the worst poetry book imaginable, I stumble across another that makes me rethink my "don't trash books" philosophy. You may have many tomorrows and nothing changes. ![]() Try to treat others with good intentions, Not everyone is going to like you or understand you.Īnd in the times it feels like you are on trial, “You can make all the effort in the world and yet someone will still tell you it’s not good enough.īut this isn’t about them, it’s about you. You are not merely made of stardust you are the comet streaking through the sky on the way to do good and bright things.” They make you strong, brave and beautiful. These feelings do not make you weak or clingy or overly emotional. Do not let anybody denounce them just because they do not feel the same way. Most of the poems in this book are kinda meh but there are some that I really like. Still, many thanks to the blog tour organizer for providing a review copy. However, as evidenced by my star rating, I most certainly did not enjoy reading it, and as such, I decided to forfeit my spot in the tour. * Read the full, detailed rant in my natural habitat! (Seriously, read it.)įull disclosure: I was supposed to participate in a promotional blog tour for this book, which is why I received a copy of it. ![]() Perhaps the only remotely positive thing I can say is that I am incredibly blessed to have received only a digital copy of this book otherwise, had I been given a physical copy, I would have grieved for the trees that died and ultimately lost my shit altogether. To summarize everything, Pillow Thoughts is a portfolio of generic content framed using totally obsolete structures. However, there are much more important things for me to accomplish than to waste so many words on a book that shouldn’t even warrant any positive attention. Truth be told, I can probably go on and on about how mediocre and embarrassing this literary monstrosity is because God knows I never thought I’d ever find a poetry book that I would end up loathing more than the collections written by Lang Leav.

As of December 2022, the Switch version had sold 10.82 million units worldwide. The game was a financial success, with the Wii U version selling 5.88 million units worldwide as of September 2020 and becoming the second best-selling game for the console. Super Mario 3D World was acclaimed for its level design, presentation, replay value, and soundtrack, though some reviewers criticized its unreliable camera in the multiplayer mode. Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, an enhanced port bundled with the game Bowser's Fury, was released for the Nintendo Switch on February 12, 2021. It features a character selector as well as introducing a power-up called the Super Bell, which turns the player into a cat, enabling them to climb walls and use a scratch attack. The gameplay is similar to previous Mario games, with players progressing through levels to reach Bowser. ![]() Players control Mario and his friends attempting to rescue fairy-like creatures called Sprixies from Bowser, who invades the realm known as the Sprixie Kingdom. It is the sixth original 3D platform game in the Super Mario series and the sequel to Super Mario 3D Land (2011) for the Nintendo 3DS. Super Mario 3D World is a platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii U in 2013. 8/13/2023 0 Comments 4 o raised plaster ring'So when a doctor told me that I wouldn't be able to go back to university, I thought, "we'll see about that" and it made me want to do my degree even more.

8/13/2023 0 Comments End of wandavision episode 9![]() The whole “shooting at kids” to show how bad he was ended up being the most cartoony thing about the comic book tv show.ģ. We don’t know enough about them, or what Nick Fury is actually doing in space when we thought it was SWORD, but Haywood character was thin. Some more explanation of Ralph might have been nice, but he was never going to be Quicksilver for real.Ģ. If you hinged the whole show on the X-Men that’s on you. That’s not going to happen, they’re just going to start it over. It was fun, it got people talking, and was never going to be a way to combine the universes. ![]() I could go, I just feel as a final episode it wasn’t so much full of holes as leaking like a sieve.ġ. If they are setting up a spoiler appearance (beginning with M) then they should have more clearly explained the situation at the end. Now suddenly she is in two places at once and one of the Wanda’s is also hearing from the children who should not exist anymore. We literally had an entire season of marvel television about this very premise. The ending where there are two Wanda’s and one is reading the dark hold is so inconsistent with everything we know about the dark hold. As we saw many or all of the Westview residents got hit on the creation of the hex and hit again on the collapse of the hex. ![]() The third time cemented the change, but the entry in and then exit from the hex made the X-RAY blank and the blood work substantially different. Monica was mutated by going through the hex twice. So Agnes will be the only person there trapped in a TV role? Poorly defined and not very logical.Ĥ. She cast a spell to trap her in Westview but Westview no longer has the characters. With Westview gone how can Agnes continue to be the nosy neighbor. ![]() I refuse to believe this could happen within 15 years of the fall of SHIELD.ģ. They turned it into a massive criminal agency with no oversight. All his subordinates are totally fine with what he is doing despite the massive violations of both laws and the mandate of SWORD. Hayward is a mustache twirling villain who wants extremely powerful tech to use as he sees fit. It’s stunt casting that is so ridiculously unlikely that it is a massive fail.Ģ. Evan Peters being used as fake Pietro when he is also Peter Maximoff in the X-MEN universe is insulting. The following list is not comprehensive, just off the top of my head.ġ. There is so much wrong this it is hard to know where to begin. Or perhaps, like Bettany, she was alluding to White Vision all along. But fans had tossed out numerous possibilities from the MCU - Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, Letitia Wright’s Shuri, even Robert Downey Jr.’s deceased Tony Stark - as well as characters from 20th Century Fox’s X-Men movies, now that Marvel Studios’ acquisition of those film rights allows for X-Men characters (such as Evan Peters’ version of Pietro/Quicksilver) to appear in Marvel projects.Īt the time we spoke to Olsen, she may have been teasing the arrival of Peters as “Fietro,” which did get the WandaVision fanbase abuzz when he showed up at the end of Episode 5 (though his casting had been leaked just before the show debuted). With the series confirmed to lead into Marvel’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (hitting theaters March 2022), the most obvious possibility for an appearance seemed to be Benedict Cumberbatch as the Sorcerer Supreme, whose name was even dropped in Friday’s finale. Yes, You Can Enjoy WandaVision, Even if You Don’t Watch Marvel MoviesĪs Olsen shared with us ahead of the premiere, she was “ really excited” for fans to see who, or what, would appear during the season, despite being unable to offer details.īut the WandaVision finale has now come and gone, and - Episode 9 spoilers! - alas, no such cameo took place. 8/13/2023 0 Comments Mobi to pdf converter c![]() xFlip Flip Magazine Software offers the best way to create interactive and engaging online magazines, digital catalog, and e-brochure to match your corporate style.FlippingBook - A professional solution for creating online realistic digital magazines, e-catalogs and brochures with page flip effect.EPUB to Kindle converter - a professional application to turn ePub e-books to MOBI format for Amazon Kindle.Build EPUB eBooks from PDF (.pdf), MS Word (.doc/.docx), TXT (.txt), HTML (.html/.htm/.xhtml), CHM (.chm), EPUB (.epub), Images (.jpg/.png/.bmp/.gif/.tiff) Mobi to ePub Converter - allows you to customize the output EPUB eBook by editing name and author information you can also browse a picture you like as the cover of the EPUB eBook.ePUB to Kindle Maker - Convert ePUB, TEXT, HTML, OPF files to Amazon Kindle.Epubor convert eBooks from Kindle, Nook, Sony, Kobo, Google to ePub, MOBI and PDF.eBook Studio from Palm Digital Media, it takes text, RTF, HTML, PML (Palm Markup Language), and OPF ( Open eBook Package Format) and produces PDB files for all Palm Readers and with eReader and eReaderPro (reader software is free).eBook Publishing Software: Convert PDF to Flipbook for viewing on Windows, MacOS X, iOS, or Android either online or offline.This free GUI-based tool runs under Windows and MacOS. eBook Publisher - from eBook Technologies is the content conversion and publishing tool for creating professionally formatted content on the EBookwise-1150 and REB 1200 ( IMP format).Can also open, view and print - PDF, HTML and RTF files Docx2Rtf - freeware file converter for MS Word 2007 Docx and OpenOffice Sxw and Odt files with partial formatting.DeskUNPDF an all-purpose PDF unconverter to xls, jpg, png, tif, html, xhtml, odt or xml.PDF Converter Pro - Coolmuster PDF Converter Pro to convert PDF files to 7 different formats for editing and sharing.WeBooK - Batch save webpages as an ebook, import local files to edit and export as EPUB2/EPUB3/KOEPUB/PDF/MOBI/AZW3 files.BookIt Desktop - Collect webpages in bulk and organize them into an eBook (PDF/ePub).The related BookOnBrowser Converters converts BookOnPublish content to run on browser-based devices including the iPad, iPhone, and iTouch.

The original TowerMadness for iPhone, which was released in May 2009, and TowerMadness HD for iPad, which was released in May 2010, are still available in the App Store for $2.99 and $4.99, respectively. TowerMadness 2 also features iCloud progress syncing, Game Center integration, and iOS 7 game controller support.Ĭompatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later, TowerMadness 2 is available now in the App Store for $4.99. It also boasts new and improved weapons and towers to use against the new extraterrestrial enemies.Īnd to enhance your chances against the aliens, you can turn to Bo the ram for better defenses and Xen the shopkeeper for reinforcements. TowerMadness features all-new levels, with 40 maps to master across four campaigns set in different environments. Protect your flock using quick thinking and an arsenal of awesome weapons. The aliens are back, and this time they’re on a mission to turn your beloved sheep into sweaters for their emperor! The sequel to the hit tower strategy adventure TowerMadness is finally here. Limbic Software has just released TowerMadness 2, the long-awaited sequel to its popular game of sheep versus aliens: ![]() ![]() With more maps and additional content on the way, it could get even better.The acclaimed 3-D tower defense strategy gaming madness continues. ![]() Of course, the best thing about TowerMadness is that it's free-and for a cute, fun, challenging tower-defense game, that is an accomplishment. It's a good game, but you can find TD games that are better-looking, better-playing, or that have a more involving story. The sharing and leaderboard options are nice (especially the ability to watch other player's replays)-as is the extensive, stat-packed help-but the 3D graphics feel more like a gimmick rather than adding to gameplay in a substantive way. You face 16 different enemy types, on the ground and flying, with varying vulnerabilities, defenses, and powers, and the enemy AI and difficulty ramp up in a satisfying progression.Ī year ago, TowerMadness would have been the best tower-defense game in the App Store, but in an ever-growing genre, this title doesn't necessarily stand out. As with other open-path tower-defense games, the trick is often figuring out where to array your towers to maximize the amount of time that enemies spend marching-and, hence, taking damage from the maximum number of towers. ![]() Three iOS versions of TowerMadness exist: TowerMadness, the original version released on 1 TowerMadness Zero, the ad-enabled version released on Octo2 and TowerMadness HD, the version enhanced for iPad that. Tower selection is limited on some levels, but you can ultimately choose from nine different weapons (the usual suspects, with lasers, slow effects, power boosters, anti-aircraft guns, etc.) with five potential upgrades each (and as with many similar games, the towers go offline briefly during an upgrade). TowerMadness is a 3D tower defense strategy game for iOS and Android, developed by Limbic Software. You touch the map to build and upgrade towers, and you can use two fingers to zoom in and out-with the ability to zoom all the way in for a nearly first-person, on-the-ground view. The game and its interface will be familiar to fans of tower-defense games, with enemies from multiple UFOs attacking across an open plain at first, but then mixing in fixed-path and open-path challenges as the game progresses through 15 maps. TowerMadness Zero is the free, ad-supported (and full) version of TowerMadness, a tower-defense game in which you defend a small herd of cute sheep against an advancing army of aliens (who want to turn your sheep into "a new scarf for their emperor"). 8/12/2023 0 Comments Break reminder![]() That may work well if a job requires constant and consistent computer work, but can be distracting if work is not constantly on the computer. Many tools are simple timers (e.g., reminders to rest every 60 minutes).

Douglas' victory was ultimately upheld, but not before months of drama and expensive litigation. Tyson and fight promoter Don King challenged Douglas' victory, claiming Douglas had gone down first in the fight but been given more time than allowed to get up. But what followed was anything but a celebration. Only one Las Vegas bookie - whether brave or stupid - would set odds on the fight: 42 to 1.ĭouglas won, stunning the sports world. Tyson was the reigning undisputed heavyweight champion of the world, and a frightening opponent to boot, when he entered the ring against James “Buster” Douglas on Feb.

The 59-year-old fighter will be celebrated at an anniversary gala Friday in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio, where he'll raise money for programs that help others who face seemingly insurmountable challenges. “Right now, everything is looking up,” Douglas said in a recent Associated Press interview, noting he struggles with diabetes.

He had advice about things not related to karate as well. When Daniel came close to the precipice, Miyagi knew just how to draw him back, and set him on the right path. Ever the teacher, Miyagi was also a humble philosopher, and a man of peace. Miyagi nuggets of wisdom to last a lifetime, which is why it's fun to take a look at a few more from the first three Karate Kid films.

After fleeing Okinawa for the United States, Miyagi went into quiet solitude before meeting Daniel LaRusso, a young boy tormented by bullies at his local high school. Miyagi had Cobra Kai sensei John Kreese literally on his knees after he lost the important All Valley Karate tournament, one of the most popular tournaments in cinema history. Remember to add a backing to the tape so the darkslide can move freely. ![]() I added the tape right up the the edge of the image produced by the camera. To help this, I added some extra electrical tape to the sheet film holders. Although using the camera indoors seemed OK, the small light leaks ballooned when I was taking photos in bright sunshine. Once I was satisfied with the position, I epoxied the springs in place so they could not come out again.Ģ. To solve the problem, I took out the other spring and bent it in the opposite direction so the hook is facing down and reinstalled the springs. Upon closer examination, it appears that the springs have a small hook that could impede the cut film holder. With all the putting in and taking out of the cut film holders, one popped out. The camera has two metal springs that ensure the film pack is pressed against the film plane. I've been using my modified Spectra for a few weeks now and I thought I would update the instructable with a few issues I've encountered:ġ. Here is a video of the standard operation: Once you have it down, it will take only a few seconds to get ready for a shot. Pull out film holder and reverse the film holder. Ignore the grinding, ejecting noise (nothing will happen because you took out the ejection hook).ġ3. Once you are satisfied with your composition, press the shutter release fully to expose your picture.ġ0. Compose your exposure and press the shutter release half way to engage the autofocus.ĩ. Turn on your battery pack and ignore the noise the camera makes (it is trying to eject the dark slide for the film pack).Ĩ. Insert the film holder into the film chamber ensuring the film holder is fully to the left to engage the camera's sensors.Ħ. Press metal tab at the film door closure until it clicks to fool the camera into believing that the film chamber door is closed.ĥ. Open the film pack chamber by depressing the lever on the right side of the camera.Ĥ. Expand the camera by activating the slider switch on the left side.ģ. ![]() To take photos with your newly hacked Spectra.Ģ. It may look awkward, but it does not interfere with the cameras operation or the tripod socket there. I used double sided tape to stick the battery pack to the top of the camera. Pay attention to the polarity! I finished these connections with some heat shrink tubing, but electrical tape would work fine.ħ. Solder your battery pack wires to the wires from the battery contacts. Once both battery contacts have a wire attached, feed the wires out of the camera.Ħ. Make sure the electrical connection is there before doing the epoxy!ĥ. Wire glue is not that strong, so I reinforced the bond by flowing epoxy over the connection. ![]() The camera has way too much plastic to properly solder the wires on the contacts, so I used wire glue.a conductive glue which works fine for the low voltages we are working with here.Ĥ. ![]() A pair of needle nose pliers are great for twisting the wire onto the posts.ģ. Next attach wire to the metal battery contacts inside the film chamber. This will make it a little easier to get at the insides of the camera.Ģ. This is easily done by bending the tabs on the left and right side. To replace the six volts of power that feeds the camera, I bought a nifty 4 X AA holder with a nice switch on the box for about $2.ġ. Polaroid had the ingenious idea of building a battery pack into each film pack so you never had to worry about the batteries suddenly dying. This modification will pretty much destroy your cameras ability to shoot regular Polaroid Spectra or Impossible Project Image film, so there is no turning back! Also, your camera will no longer be an instant camera! You will have to develop and print (or scan) the images yourself. In this Instructable, we will convert a Polaroid Spectra to operate with regular sheet film. What is the cheapskate hipster to do? Well here is one idea. For example, Spectra film use to be $1 an exposure but is now $2 and exposure in most markets and will only increase as the supply dwindles.Ī project to restart production called, "the Impossible Project" (the "p" on impossible is backward for some hip and trendy reason) is restarting production of integral and other Polaroid films, however the cost is still in the $2 to $3 per exposure range. They have stopped making all integral film and the price of the last stocks of fresh film is skyrocketing in price. I understand the hard business facts behind this move, but as someone who bought the camera, I feel a little cheated. Lets face it.Polaroid has mostly abandoned its commitment to analog instant photography. |
