11/27/2023 0 Comments Brothers in arms road to hill![]() They don't have to review 48 of the buggers every single year. It was a dicey moment where those jovial 'mixed' feelings could have so easily spilled over into an explosion of Hulkian rage. This feeding frenzy on famous conflicts know no bounds, so it hardly came as a surprise when a well-known game developer asked us recently for our thoughts on whether they should do a World War II game. The thing is, however much we mock, the public just lap it up. In short, it's gone beyond merely lacking the imagination to come up with something vaguely new, and descended into the realms of exasperating self parody where game publishers are only too happy to sign developers connected with Call Of Valor: Medal Of Duty. The Sherman Tank - Col.Regular visitors to these hallowed pages will know by now that we've got very mixed feelings about the ongoing videogaming obsession with World War II. The other "Buying the Farm" houses as recreated in Brothers in Arms. The photosource was used to recreate these buildings in the game. The real-life counterparts to the other houses in the "Buying the Farm" courtyard. The farmhouse as recreated in Brothers in Arms. Gearbox designer, Erik Doescher studies the farmhouse. When Gearbox visited Normandy almost 60 years later, structures like this farmhouse were still intact and in use, to the delight of the surveyors. Above the road on the hill to the right is the house featured in "Buying the Farm."

They pass information about stimuli (lines, angles, edges, and movements) to other regions of the brain where supercell clusters (a team of cells) work to respond to the patterns. Image Courtesy of Myers' AP Psychology Textbook - 2nd EditionĪs mentioned before, feature detectors were discovered by Hubel and Wiesel in the visual cortex. They function best in daylight, and are responsible for helping us to detect fine detail. There are about 6 million of them, clustered in the center of our retina (the fovea). They are also necessary for peripheral vision.Ĭones are our color receptors. ![]() They are more light-sensitive and therefore enable us to see in the dark. There are about 120 million of them in the periphery of the retina. Those chemical changes begin a chain reaction in which they first spark neural signals in nearby bipolar cells, which in turn activate ganglion cells-the axons of which converge to form the optic nerve which sends the message on to the thalamus and finally to the visual cortex. The retina contains millions of photoreceptor cells, called rods and cones, that begin this process by triggering chemical changes. Transduction is the process of changing physical energy to neural impulses so that the brain can understand them. Once the image is received on the retina, visual information begins to be processed as this is where transduction occurs. Do you feel it? You should notice that your muscles are working hard to change focus!Ĥ. Then change your focus back to the finger. Then, change your focus and look at the wall. Try folding up your finger □ and focusing on it. You can feel your muscles changing focus with a classic finger to wall focus. This is called accommodation. The lens is curved and flexible so that it can focus the light. It focuses incoming light onto the retina as an upside-down image and changes the shape of light. The more light exposure, the more the pupil constricts.ģ. The iris is a colored muscle that constricts (gets smaller) or dilates (gets larger) based on light intensity. Next, light passes through the pupil, a small opening controlled by the iris. First, light passes through the cornea, a thin tissue that protects the eye and bends light to provide focus.Ģ.

The Verdict |Although the formula is a bit drying I definitely think the pigmentation and finish are worth it– you gotta take the good with the bad, right? The doe foot applicator also applies the product smoothly, and as long as you’re careful with how heavily you apply it, it goes on beautifully otherwise it can get messy.Stila is my favorite brand when it comes to liquid lipsticks and has launched an awesome liquid lipstick set for the holidays called Stila Stay all Day, Sparkle all Night. Continue applying it in this manner until you have reached the opacity you like. So, I would suggest applying a little on the center of your lips and then blending it out with your fingers for a more natural, blended look. Another downside is that it can get a bit messy since the brush picks up a lot of product. Even though the color lasts for a few hours it can become a bit uncomfortable because of how dry it is. The Bad | I do have to say that the formula can be a bit too drying at times and sink into the fine lines of your lips if you haven’t properly moisturized and exfoliated. The color is also buildable so you can make it as opaque as you like. If you have pigmented lips and have trouble finding a lipstick that shows up true to color, while covering up the natural pigmentation of your lips, this lipstick is perfect because one swipe of this is very opaque. Not only do I love a matte finish, but I love one that is highly pigmented and opaque. I wouldn’t say that it “stays all day,” but it does last a long time even if you eat, drink and talk a lot. The Good | The consistency is creamy, and it dries to a matte finish that really doesn’t budge. Stila Liquid Lipstick swatches in Amore, Patina, and Bellissima It is also great if you want to do a dark smokey eye because it is neutral and will not clash with your eyes. I absolutely love this color, and a while ago this was literally the only color I would wear on my lips I even dedicated a whole post to it because it is that great! Again, this is another color that is great for an every day daytime look because it is nice and subtle, especially once you blend it out with your finger. It is actually very similar to the color that she-who-must-not-be-named (aka Kylie Jenner) has been infamously sporting on her lips lately.īellissima | A pale neutral pinky peach. This one is a perfect every day color because it’s not too bold, but it does add some color to your look. Sometimes finding a neutral color can be hard for medium to darker skin tones because it can really wash you out if it isn’t the right shade. ![]() Patina | A dusty rose mauvey color that is seriously so gorgeous. It looks gorgeous paired with a soft makeup look that focuses on lots of lashes and this lip color just happens to be the p ièce de résistance. Whenever I want a nice deep color, but nothing too dramatic, I go for this shade. This shade is great for anyone who loves dark lips, especially in the fall, but doesn’t want to wear a really vampy lip. Even though the formula of this specific shade is not as creamy as the next two colors I am about to talk about, it still glides on easily while being extremely pigmented. I tend to despise shimmery lip products, but this one is still one of my favorites because the glitter is not visible once you apply it to your lips. Stila Liquid Lipsticks ( L to R): Amore, Patina, and Bellissima.Īmore | This one is a plummy shade that has some golden shimmer running through it. I only own three lipsticks from their collection, but I definitely plan on purchasing more (I got my eye on you, Beso). So, when I saw Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Lipsticks, I had to try them out for myself since they’re supposed to apply like a gloss and dry to a matte finish. So, when certain lipsticks become my favorite, you know they are good! My biggest turn off, in relation to lip products, are ones that are super sticky and tacky, which is why I enjoy a nice velvety or matte, better yet a velvety matte, finish. Because I hoard so many lip products it is normal for a lipstick to get lost amongst the thousands of other lost lipstick souls in my collection that I forget about (okay, I don’t have thousands). Lipsticks tend to be my weak spot, which is why I’m constantly (literally, constantly) buying more. 11/27/2023 0 Comments Live cam im pro windows 10If you have an older piece of hardware or a device that doesn't support Plug and Play, Windows won't automatically recognize it when you connect the hardware.

You can hang it to dry a couple days, but you will still have little drops of water all over inside. Getting anything inside it is virtually impossible. The dirty water bag opens completely at one end with a zipper lock, so it is easy to get inside that bag and dry it out.īut the clean water bag has only the one tiny opening at one end, the size and shape of a plastic pop bottle mouth. If you're familiar with the platypus, you'll know that it is based on two large heavy plastic resevoir bags. It's not actually that hard at all, almost all the parts are easy to wash and dry. The rest of the system gets a 24 hour bleach cycle, then has to be taken apart and thoroughly dried before storage. The charcoal filter has to be boiled then dried. The only downside is cleaning it for storage. It is simply so quick and easy to get large amounts of fresh water on site, I can't believe I spent so many years pumping! We have used it 5 times now, and really love it. For full disclosure, see our about me page.Last year we invested in a Platypus gravity filter. Thanks to the manufacturer for providing this product. ![]() Switch to these bottles and you won’t regret it. It’s reliable, doesn’t mess with the taste of your water, light weight, and even affordable. It’s a simple concept, that does exactly what it needs to do. This is great for a quick evening shower, but not great when you’re trying to have a drink of water. They’re designed to be held this way, and holding them horizontally compresses the bottle. Make sure you hold the bottle with the seam facing vertically, or you’ll end up with a face full of water. Aside from the small chance of puncturing the bottle with a tent stake or a knife, I can’t find anything to complain about with these bottles. I’ll also keep a liter or two in my backpacks water bottle pockets for quick access. It’s easier to refill than a bladdder, easier to clean, easier to drain water from when cooking, taste better, and much more reliable. I simply fill my bottle, slide it into my backpack, and I’m good to go. Since discovering the two liter size, I have ditched typical water bladders with hoses entirely also. They don’t give your water that nasty plastic taste that many bladders or hard bottles will force into your hydration supply. Despite being soft, the hard seams give the bottle support, and allow you to drink from them like a traditional bottle. They’re about as light weight as you could ever hope to get, and they take up less room due to their flexible nature, and ability to conform to the shapes of whatever they are put into. I’ve been using Platypus bottles for several years now, and I’ve never had one bust or leak. The bottles come in a variety of styles, with simple drinking spouts, and more complex caps that pull to open, or release liquid only when compressed. When you’re finished with them, they can fold up and be tucked away into the nooks and crannies of your backpack. They’re built from a rugged, but light weight Polyethylene, which doesn’t impart any taste into your water or drinks. They come in various sizes ranging all the way up to 2 liters in capacity. The Platypus bottles weigh on average around one ounce. They’re simple, soft, flexible water bottles that cut weight and collapse to a smaller size when they’re not needed. That’s where the Platypus water bottles come in. You can carry all the water you want, but if you spring a leak, or the containers are weighing you down, you have a problem. One of the main concerns when backpacking, is staying hydrated. 11/26/2023 0 Comments 25q mos army![]() Installs, operates, and performs unit level maintenance on multichannel line of site and tropospheric scatter communications systems, antennas and associated equipment analyzes BIT/BITE diagnostics to isolate faults to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) installs, operates, perform strapping, restrapping, PMCS, and unit level maintenance on COMSEC devices operates and performs Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) on assigned vehicles installs, operates, and performs PMCS on assigned power generators supervises operations and assists team members in the installation and operation of multichannel line of site and tropospheric scatter communications systems supervises, performs and assists team members in the performance of unit level maintenance on assigned communications equipment request logistical support prepares input for statistical and other operational reports supervises and prepares work schedules for subordinate personnel engaged in the installation, operation, and unit level maintenance of multichannel and tropospheric scatter radio systems provides subordinates technical assistance in resolving connectivity problems, complex maintenance faults, and during contingency situations plans and coordinates line of site or tropospheric scatter communications assemblage deployments and system operations writes standing operating procedures (SOP) pertaining to multichannel operations develop training programs for subordinate personnel to ensure technical competency supervises and performs management and administrative duties related to personnel, systems operations, and logistics. ![]() Supervise, install, operate, and perform maintenance on multichannel line of site and tropospheric scatter communications systems. 11/26/2023 0 Comments Highland springs high school![]() This is a developing story, so anyone with more information can email to send a tip.
