![]() Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land (1961) that means to achieve a calm ecstasy, to contemplate the present moment. One of the main avenues to this new type of life and freedom was mind-expanding drugs, which allowed them to grok, a word from Robert A. At the core of the protest was the value of individual freedom. They protested by experimenting with Eastern meditation, primitive communal living, unabashed nudity, and nonpossessive physical and spiritual love. Originating with the 1950’s Beat generation, the 1960’s counterculture youth were disillusioned with the vast social injustices, the industrialization, and the mass society image in their parents’ world they questioned many values and practices-the Vietnam War, the goals of higher education, the value of owning property, and the traditional forms of work. To understand some of the ideas behind the counterculture revolution is to understand Ken Kesey’s (1935 – 2001) fictional heroes and some of his themes. As my own father said "Illegittimus Non carburondum.By NASRULLAH MAMBROL on Decem Big men doing what needs doing, and the sage advice to always, always keep your eye on the doughnut and not the hole. Small men (and women) trying to drag big men down off their high horse and big men never giving in. People blaming other people, and the weather, and the government, for their problems. Nevertheless, the story is timeless-as relevant today as it was then. Maybe it was the Publisher’s pressure to finish? Maybe it was weariness. Kesey seemed to have lost the voice and vision he had in the first 550 pages. My only complaint is the final chapter’s ending. (Tom Wolfe tells his story in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.) No doubt heavily impacted by the mind expanding drugs he used – Kesey breaks ground in story telling and this novel remains one of the greatest ever written for its voice, style, characterization, and descriptive nature. Kesey was at the time of writing, one of the first hippies and Acid Heads. The author, Ken Kesey, paints a stunning, realistic and poetic, portrait of coastal Oregon, logging, small towns, and “manly men.” The characters and their personalities literally leap from the pages. (The role of wife at the Stamper’s was to take care of the menfolk so as they could wup whateverthefuck it was needed wupping.) Stealing Viv away from Hank would be the ultimate triumph. He plots revenge on big brother Hank – Superman – and fancies himself Captain Marvel – SHAZAM! By now, Hank has his own lovely wife, “Viv-an orphan he plucked out of a rural, Colorado melon-growing community-“an anomalous combination of demure coquetry and brazen diffidence.” Lee hatches his plan: Take Viv away from Hank. Pot-smoking graduate student, and failed suicider, Leeland, decides why not. the contract that puts the Stamper family at odds with the rest of the folks of Wakonda, unionized and on strike. Timely, the Oregon Stampers send Lee a note, requesting he come out and help them meet a logging contract with Wakonda Pacific Inc. When Lee is twelve, Myra takes him back East to save them both from the harsh, depressing life that is Oregon, and Henry Stamper untamed.įast forward to 1961, when Myra leaps to her death (lovesick for Hank and depressed) and Leeland fails in his attempt to kill himself. Lee watches this unfold through a knothole in the bedroom wall. Lee grows up in Hank’s shadow and Hank becomes Myra’s lover. Henry sires another son, Leeland, (a “pantywaist”) twelve years Hank’s junior, with his second wife, Myra-a woman less than half his age who he scores on a trip back East specifically for that purpose-scoring a wife. Hank, that son, becomes just like him, “well known as one of the Ten Toughest Hombres this side of the Rockies.” (p,105) His motto is “NEVER GIVE A INCH,” which he paints on a plank and nails above his baby son’s bed. He is confident, independent, self-absorbed, vain, successful and defiant. Henry Stamper is the quintessential self-made man. The story takes place in a costal logging town in Oregon, 1961. … he can look back and say there was the why of it …” (p.450) “Looking back a guy can always pick him out some top-notch reasons to explain what happened. Looking back now, I see how much it influenced me-in my writing and life. ![]() ![]() The first was in 1971 when I was twenty-one. This is the sixth time I’ve read this novel. ![]()

![]() ![]() In addition to this feature, TERA will offer a free upgrade for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, along with the Xbox Series S, in Holidays 2020, with an Enhanced Graphics Mode – which will allow for cross-generation and cross-platform gaming. TERA is set to release its Crossplay Feature in Mid-November 2020, which players on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One will be able to play together. The Console version diverted paths from its original PC counterpart, and declared that it would be taking its own path. In September 2020, En Masse Entertainment announced that it would be shutting down its offices after 10 years of service in the gaming industry, where it was decided that Krafton would be publishing TERA 's Console version globally – taking over a self-publishing role, in place of En Masse Entertainment, whereas the PC version would be published by Gameforge. In April 2018, TERA went on to release on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, through En Masse Entertainment in North America, Europe, and Japan, whereas Krafton decided to self-publish the game in South East Asia for the PlayStation 4 and Japan for Xbox One. The game has over 28 million players worldwide, as of 2018. In September 2014, the game was renamed to TERA: Fate of Arun in the same patch that added a new level cap and expanded TERA 's horizons with the new continent in Northern Arun: Val Oriyn "cut off from the rest of the world for centuries, Northern Arun is a land of savage jungles, colossal ruins, and the undiscovered homeland of the Barakas." The patch became effective in December 2014 in America and Europe. In February 2013 the game was renamed to TERA: Rising concurrently with the game's launch to the free-to-play model. En Masse Entertainment was the North American publisher, until September 2020, while Atari handled physical distribution. Nexon, Krafton, and Gameforge published the game in these regions, respectively. The game was released in South Korea on 25 January 2011, in North America on, and in Europe on, with closed and open beta tests taking place before the launch dates. TERA (short for The Exiled Realm of Arborea), also known as TERA Online, was a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by Bluehole Studio, a subsidiary of Krafton. ![]() But so many MMOs have shut down in the span of the last 24 months that I’m a little concerned what’s going to come next.Massively multiplayer online role-playing game I guess, what we’re all thinking now, is what is Bluehole going to develop to replace TERA, and what does Gameforge have left after the loss of it? Aion? With a lower playerbase than TERA? Swords of Legends? Which also shares a low playerbase? Especially when the MMO is as good as TERA is at its core. Any competent talent they had is now gone. Which goes to show that the Bluehole of the 2010s is not the Bluehole of the 2020s. Unfortunately this was the latter in the case of Bluehole, as they’ve proven they’re not only incompetent when it comes to TERA, but also Elyon.Įlyon was the spiritual successor to TERA, and within 30 days had declined in active players to a point lower than TERA had in the span of a decade. ![]() Sometimes developers know how to fix them, other times they don’t. If it wasn’t for this game, Mrs Stix never would have happened across the video that introduced us to one another. I’ve went back to this game every single year. I’ve been playing TERA since it launched. ![]() ![]() This first vacant card forms their discard pile. Moving in the clockwise direction, each player chooses a card from their set and places it facing up. The game should begin with the player sitting to the left of the dealer. How to Play- Understanding the Rules Beginning the game They must all connect in a line without any gaps. The series of the chips can be straight, diagonal, vertical, or horizontal. They do this by creating a row of five same-colored poker chips. ![]() While playing the sequence board game, each player or team aims to form the required Sequence before the opposing players or team. The remaining cards go to the drawing pile that is used throughout the game. List of how the number of players determines the number of cards dealt After the shuffling, each player picks a card. The first shuffling of the two decks of cards decides which player or team will take the first turn. The dealer is the player who gets the lowest cards after shuffling for the first time. This takes place when the dealer shuffles the cards. Each player or a member from every team chooses a set of same-colored poker chips. With the game board laid out in front of players seated in their appropriate positions, it is time to prepare for the game. No teammates should be sitting next to each other. In the case of three players or teams, players should sit in alternating positions after every third player around the game area. If you are playing among two players or teams, team members must sit in alternating positions with their team members with their opponents around the game board. These include marker chips, the deck of playing cards as well as the discard pile for each player. It requires a flat surface, allowing enough space for other game equipment that needs placement around the game board. The ideal way to play the sequence board game is to sit on the floor or around a table. If more than three people are playing the Sequence board game, it is advisable to play in two or three teams with equal members in each team. However, you can play with more than 12 players. Up to 12 players can play, but the number of players should be divisible by two or three. What makes it more thrilling is the number of players it allows. ![]() Children, parents, and grandparents can all join and have fun. It comes with rules that are easy to understand for players of all ages, so no member stays left out. Once you play Sequence with your friends or family, there is no way you wouldn’t want to have multiple rounds. Whether or not the sequence game focuses on strategy is a point of argument all-in-all, it is very refreshing to play. While the game is for children ages seven and older, people of all generations can enjoy it. Its easy-to-understand rules yet complex gameplay makes it a fun family game. Sequence ends as soon as it finds its winner.īonnie Oliver invented Sequence, which was originally called the ‘Sequence five.’ It is a card and board game that typically takes about 30 minutes to complete. The player or team that forms a row of 5 identical chips in a connected series on the game board wins. After this step, they take a new card from the drawing stack. After placing a card on their discarded pile, players place a poker chip on an empty space on the board for the same card. ![]() Through short rounds, players take turns to discard a card from the set in their hands. It allows up to twelve players either play individually or form teams. Sequence Board Game makes use of a board as well as cards. You and your friends are sure to have a fun game night with this one! If you like abstract strategy board-and-card games, you must try the Sequence Board Game. ![]() ![]() ![]() Is this one of the things the slit return is designed to do spread out the flow? I do know from looking at one, on Internet, that it can be directed more acutely in any direction compared to the round opening on eyeballs. I thought about putting a slit eyeball at the shallow end, middle of wall, directed downwards to gently push some of the silt (that collects very heavily in small shallow end) towards the bottom drain in deep end. Has anyone used the eyeballs with the slits? I am thinking that I won't be needing the returns to direct the flow to skimmer as the SolarBreeze will capture virtually all blown in debris pretty much round the clock (with the Li-ion batteries it will run all night, without sunlight, as long as it gets enough sun during the previous day, building up charge while continuing to run). One or both will be kept handy for really fast cleanup when needed. Polaris will probably be kept up until leaf falling time. Due to these two products, SolarBreeze and Aquabot, I doubt that the Tracker 4X will be needed much at all (and it requires higher pump speeds) so it may be semi-retired. I may not need to use the Polaris during the day as the Aquabot, with fine bag (again after market ScumBags are the best for silt) running at night, when dogs are put up, will take care of virtually all of the fine silt (in addition to constant low speed circulation) and all sand. The Solar Breeze, running 24/7 will take care of much of the fine stuff and plant debris that blows into the pool. I have the new Pentair Intelliflo VF that I plan on, during non leaf falling periods, using on very low with pretty constant filtration 24/7 speeds to be determined once I start playing with it. I will use this setup in the fall but for Spring/Summer/Early Fall I'm going to use a different setup.ĭuring all year I still have the issues with sand and very fine silt. PSs bags needed a couple or more emptyings a day also. Polaris, with several leaf bags (actually the after market Aquawerx jumbo bags hold more leaves and catches smaller debris too), had to be emptied many times a day to keep up with leaves that made it to bottom. I would have to turn off bottom drain to keep leaves from going to pump basket and clogging it in a few minutes too. ![]() Prior to putting in the PSs I directed the returns upwards and around the pool so that leaves would finally make it to the skimmer but it would fill in minutes so that I would need to be here when the pump was running 1.5 hp, 1.5 SF pump, one speed so flow was fabulous. So new developments: The Solar Breeze (solar powered top skimmer) is doing a remarkable job!!!! I started using it when there were still a lot of blowing leaves so it can get overly full during high leaf time so the PoolSkims helped tremendously. In addition constant doggie hair, blowing silt, and pollen much of the year. ![]() If you are familiar with me you will probably remember that we have an extreme environment and two PoolSkims is not overkill especially when plants are messy in Spring and huge amounts of falling/blowing leaves from Oct through end of Dec. I reduced one eyeball to 1/4" and another to about 1/8" (or less-didn't measure) to get adequate flow to the two PoolSkims. When I put in my first PoolSkim I replaced two of the eyeballs with smaller openings to divert more flow to the PS. I have the standard eyeball returns, four, in my pool. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once you have finished, you can tie a knot to secure the tail ends on the back, and weave in the yarn tails. Repeat these steps for all stitches following your chart. Then, bring the needle to the back through the starting point of this heart shaped duplicate stitch. Insert your sewing needle from right to left through the second stitch up. To make the next heart shape, bring the needle out front at the bottom point of the next 'V', following your chart or pattern instructions.

Step 2:Ĭount to the starting point of your first stitch, following your chart. Start by threading your sewing needle with the contrast yarn. In this tutorial, we'll duplicate a row of stitches to create contrast 'hearts'. You'll also use the chart to determine the gaps between stitches, and which colors to use when Swiss darning. Following the chart, you'll count to your starting point on your knitting. Your pattern may include a chart that will indicate which stitches you will duplicate. This allows you to add delicate patterns on your knitted projects without using the trickier technique of stranded color work known as Fair Isle. It's often used to work single motifs, or to decorate a small area of knitting in a contrast color. Swiss darning is a way of embroidering your knitting, by duplicating a stitch. ![]() ![]() ![]() information about LTO tape drives and appropriate industrial (micro) SD cards and eMMC devices too.

A set of these could be what you need if the room in which you need coverage is just too far away from your main router. Not all Powerline adapters have Wi-Fi built in as well as Ethernet ports, but those that do almost act like Wi-Fi extenders. These use your home’s mains wiring as a sort of Ethernet cable, with one adapter plugged in near your router and connected via Ethernet, and the second adapter is plugged in in the room where you need an internet connection. There’s Alexa and Google Assistant support, but these are no real use if you don’t have the R15 or M15 as the extender doesn’t support a guest network.Īt the time of review, the Eagle Pro AI was considerably cheaper than TP-Link’s RE505X, making it better value – but only if you already have an R15 router or are going to buy one. It’s only there you can force the E15 to use WPA3 security, for example. It’s relatively simple to set up with the Eagle Pro AI app, and using that you can see which devices are connected to the extender (even if you don’t use it in mesh mode) and there’s a bizarrely named Health Mode which allows you to turn off Wi-Fi overnight as a way to prevent your kids using their devices.Īnnoyingly, quite a few settings aren’t available in the app: if you tap Advanced Mode, a web browser opens and presents a traditional router management interface that’s way too small for a phone screen. ![]() There’s also a useful signal meter on the front which tells you if you’ve plugged it in in a good location or not. The E15 has fold-out antennae, for improving the signal range and there’s a Gigabit Ethernet port on the bottom edge which can be used to connect wired devices such as TV set-top boxes. ![]() Quite obviously, there’s no point at all in buying the E15 if you don’t even have a Wi-Fi 6 router as you’ll be paying more but not benefitting from the extra speed and features. Used in this way, the E15, as with the TP-Link’s OneMesh, you get much better speeds than if you were to use the E15 with another brand of Wi-Fi 6 router, where it would revert to working in half-duplex mode. The E15 is part of the Eagle Pro AI range from D-Link and is designed to be used in conjunction with the R15 router and, optionally, the M15 mesh Wi-Fi system. ![]() ![]() ![]() Try spraying a powdery umbrella cockatoo with water and you can watch tiny droplets of water bead up and roll off the birds back. This really contributes to “waterproofing” the bird. These feathers are continually breaking off into small bits that coat the bird with powder. This dust is the consequence of specific feathers called powder down. Several types of Cockatoo parrots are recognized for generating large amounts of dust. A cockatoo new to the home should not be showered with non-stop focus, but rather provided toys and other enrichment possibilities as well as sporadic attention so that the bird discovers to keep itself interested when the individuals in its life is unable to offer one-on-one time. Cockatoo parrots are usually needier than any other pet parrot species and an owner should set boundaries early on, or else the bird might scream for interest. A pet cockatoo will require a steady flow of suitable items to chew and destroy. Cockatoo parrots range in size from medium to large.Ī cockatoo requires a well-constructed cage to not only avoid it from getting away but to avoid the bird from wrecking it. Pet Cockatoo parrots tend to be referred to as “velcro” birds because of their extremely sociable nature and borderline fanatical need to be around the individuals in their lives. Obviously, some Cockatoo parrots have been known to talk very clearly but in basic they are not known to be great talkersĬockatoo parrots stay ahead of other parrot species with their spectacular crest feathers, messy feathers, and different shades of white, pink, gray and black. When they do learn to talk, their speech may not be very clear and may be somewhat garbled. Some Cockatoo parrots can learn how to speak, but in common Cockatoo parrots are not known for their speaking capabilities. Cockatoo parrots are powder-down birds, making a dust from their feathers that can be pretty heavy sometimes. The crest’s place is often an indicator to the bird’s feelings. They have a bald area over their heads protected with a crest that they can raise and reduce.
