Carla cheers age11/19/2023 ![]() Playing from the forward red tees, the distance today was 87 yards. This is quite typical at our golf course. The pin location on this day was front middle right, but it was also playing into quite a wind. It is also protected by bunkers in the front and back. Hole #8 is a par 3 which has a pond on the left side and part of the front. ![]() On Sunday, August 6, 2023, I was golfing at my home club, Whistle Bear Golf Club, with my husband Gino Mastronardi, and good friends Tina Cain Holland and Andrew Camman, who are also members. Of course, it was drinks all around at the clubhouse afterwards. They came up after finishing the 16th to our cheers and woos. My good friend Gurmit Thiara was in the group behind along with his uncle Surinder and our mutual friend Raj. Upon walking up to the green I verified it, and it was high fives all around. I couldn't believe it saying to the guys, "I think it's in!" The ball flight was dead centre in line with the flag and after one bounce and a roll it plopped right in. I stepped up with my pitching wedge and after a quick practice swing, I took my shot. It was 95 yards to the middle where they had placed the flag. We got to the 17th tee closely tied on stapleford points, playing from the blues. It was Micheal Oleary, Lucky Bajwa and me. The ace actually happened on Wednesday the eighth. I play weekly on Wednesdays with a core group of guys at Lakeview. I have been a weekend hacker for many years and this season upon retiring I began to commit to playing more frequently and improving.

Dex white pages az eugene oregon11/19/2023 Once you have stopped or cancelled your account, that traffic simply stops or dries up. When you consider how you will drive traffic to your website, remember that a DEX company listing is only good as long as you continue making your monthly payment. DEX Company ListingĪ DEX company listing is something that would enhance your online exposure, however it is not a full online marketing solution that would completely saturate your market the same way that an organic search engine marketing campaign would. They receive anywhere from 1k to 3k a day in paid clicks from keywords like acupuncturists in Chicago, ad agencies in Chicago, ad agencies, architects etc. This decrease could be due to the state of the U.S. reports that bids on over 23,075 words within Google Adwords, with a daily budget between $600 to 5k a day (a 77.09% decrease in budget from January 2008).

Bink video tools not converting entire video11/18/2023 ![]() Print Graph: prints the current graph view. Show as Bytes per Frame: controls whether you view the values in bytes-per-frame or bytes-per-second.Ĭopy Graph and Copy Values: copy the analysis data onto the clipboard. Show 1 Second Average, Show DVD, Show best for 360/PS3, and Show 4x CD, and Showīest for Nintendo DS: all control whether the respective data line is shown in the graph. (this is really only useful if you're zoomed in a bit). Show Values: will display the value of each point on the graph Show Legend: hides and shows the legend in the upper right corner. Zoom: allows you to see the big picture or the really little picture. Right-clicking on the graph will present the following list of options:Ĭlose: simply closes the analysis window. The analysis window has many other options that can be accessed by right-clicking on the graph. ![]() That way I know I'm always getting the best possible quality for my target. I find the analysis option so handy that I now automatically check out my videos after every compression. If the analysis shows that you are well under your data rate, then you can go back and re-compress for better quality. So, the analysis option can not only tell you when you exceeded your target data-rate, but it can also tell you when you've over-compressed. The video data-rate is way below the target data-rate, then you can improve the quality just by compressing it again. If the "one-second-average" goes above your target data rate, then you're very likely to have skipped frames. Line is the actual data-rate of the Bink file, and the yellow line is a one-second data-rateįrame to frame data-rate can spike above the device data rate without too much trouble, but the one-second average should stay close to your target data-rate!

It displays a visual representation of the video file's data-rate. The Analyze window can tell you a bunch about a Bink or Smacker file without even having to play it. Use this button to check general bandwidth use. Good news!: I have been able to successfully convert the videos from 30 FPS to 60 FPS using a video editing program.The "Analyze" button is one of the most handy features in the RAD Video Tools. The program adds artificial frames between the existing ones by "guessing" what happens between the two. The result is an incredibly smooth video playback, and (in my opinion) indistinguishable from the original PS2 cutscenes. It's true 60 FPS.īad news: The first time I tested it, the game stopped responding when I tried to skip the cutscene halfway through playback (using the escape key). I tested it 3 more times and it worked perfectly afterwards. I'm not sure what happened the first time. Also, the game has to be set to run at 60 FPS. Otherwise, the video pauses intermittently during playback and just plain sucks. So basically, this is potentially great news for people who've wanted to play through the game with the 60 FPS cutscenes. I think I may convert all of them to 60 FPS and see if I can clean the image quality up even more. *** Silent Hill 2 FMV Widescreen Enhancement Pack v1.0 *** This is from angular graphic's notes on the original FMV Enhancement Pack: Anyone know if it's possible to program the game to run at 60 FPS but only during cutscene playback? I hope that one day, players can choose to run the game at 30 FPS and the cutscenes at 60 FPS (for an authentic SH2 experience). In my quest to re-encode them to an aspect ratio that will look right on widescreen monitors, I've discovered the PC version's FMVs suffer significantly in quality compared to the other versions: Users have figured out how to have Silent Hill 2 run at a 16:9 widescreen ratio by patching the game's executable with a new resolution and FoV, but unfortunately this makes the prerendered FMVs look stretched.

Flamingo hotel santa rosa dinner11/18/2023 Oh and that table I asked to be seated at outside? It was still empty when we left! Photo #3. I love brunch and have enjoyed it in many countries, hotels, casinos and restaurants. Now, all of this would have been ok were it not for the $36.00 pp price tag, which I think is too high for the offerings. I did enjoy the tortellini and it’s sauce. ![]() A must for me is the bottomless champagne, which was offered. The food wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great either. The dessert table offerings were limited as well. There were hot dishes of french toast, bacon, sausage, potatoes, tortellini, salmon, chicken and eggs Benedict, but not much more. They had several salads to choose from, but they weren’t on ice and I didn’t see one person checking temperatures, something I see at all brunches, so I stayed away from them. The remaining offerings were limited, we kept looking for more options, but there weren’t any. I’m used to a nice carving station with rib roast, ham, a variety of meat, there was only tri tip. Remember photo #1, that had me drooling and ready to go? In reality it was photo #2, what a let down. Then came the buffet, or really in my opinion, lack of buffet. There was an open table on the patio, which I asked to sit at, but was told they were still holding it. At 11:00, I went back in to check and was told they had a table inside, they had sent someone to come get us. I was told they like to give wiggle room for those with reservations, that’s fine, and that we might get seated in ten minutes. We arrived at about 10:40, and was told 10:30 was fully booked, but that some might not show. I didn’t realize they do brunch in only two seatings 10:30 & 12:30, even though it’s on the site, I was distracted by the amazing seafood display. To start, I always check the website to see what is offered and when I saw photo #1, I was satisfied this was. I don’t like giving low reviews, but this feels warranted. This was my first and only visit for their Sunday brunch service.

Make your own macaroni11/18/2023 ![]() Add 20 drops of food colouring to get a nice strong color:Īdd about 1/2 cup to 3/4 cup of uncooked pasta noodles to the bag: I know it doesn’t sound like much, but it goes way further than you think. Take 1 tsp of vinegar and put it into a zip lock bag. You can check out Teaching Tiny Tots and Happy Hooligans for more dyed pasta ideas. I’ve also seen this done with rubbing alcohol too, but vinegar seemed a lot less toxic to me. It’s really easy to do! All you need is white vinegar, food coloring, and pasta. But once Leah looses interest in sorting and counting games, you better believe these bright little guys will be used for some awesome crafts! We focused on playing with the noodles themselves today, which I’ll describe more below. But macaroni noodles only get you so far before your sanity needs you to branch out and try something different (or maybe that’s just me?) Dying pasta bright colors is a great way to spice up your “noodle craft” activities! I scoop the damp and crumbled dough up with my bench scraper and cut it into the rest of the dough.Pasta and kids crafts seem to go hand in hand. Use your hands or a bench scraper to continue bringing the dough together. And the mixture will still be quite floury. The dough will be damp and chunky in some parts and loose in others. Simply push some additional flour up against the break-through with your hand or with a bench scraper, and continue mixing).Ĭontinue like this until the dough starts to come together and the eggs have been incorporated. (If the eggs break through your flour while mixing, don’t panic. Use a stirring motion and go slowly to avoid any eggs breaking through the bowl of flour. ![]() Use a fork to whisk together the eggs and oil.Ĭontinue whisking the eggs, but begin pulling in bits of flour from inside the well. Place the eggs, yolk, olive oil and salt into the well. Create a large well or crater in the center, big enough to hold the eggs and olive oil like a bowl. Heap the flour into a pile on the countertop. That will dampen your noodles and cause them to stick together as they thaw. Sometimes, condensation or ice crystals form inside the bag. Don’t leave them to thaw on the counter while you are preparing the rest of your meal.

Parallels windows activation11/18/2023 I would rather own a proper macbook than run some dualboot with a windows laptop and Mac OS. I bought a mac because I prefer Mac OS, I purposefully bought a macbook seperate from my windows desktop because of how much more efficient it is when doing schoolwork. For someone that is tech-savvy, sure maybe it is. And Hackintoshes are not easy to setup for the average person, that is innacurate to say it is. I don't know what kind of person you are and I am not one to say who you are but I just simply disagree. Coming from an 18 year old with Macbook Pro M1. I simply disagree with all of your point of views. Users are not your personal search engine.

Brown vinyl fencing11/18/2023 To follow a grade, panels must be stair-stepped. They can also be cut to length to meet your projects requirements. Panels can be stacked on top of each other to create 8' and 12' tall fence. Each panel is reinforced with galvanized steel in both the top and bottom rails, which gives it superior wind resistance and durability. The one piece design makes for easy installation without added assembly. *Miami-Dade County approved NOA #18-0208.02 for exceptional performance in high wind conditions (expires 4-4-2023)īufftech Allegheny Fence Panels are one-piece, rotationally molded panels that have the look of real stone but the low maintenance properties of vinyl fencing.

R lee ermey funny11/18/2023 ![]() Oliver Anthony Makes His Nashville Debut - With a BandĮrmey’s iconic performance of Gunnery Sergeant Hartman earned the fledgling actor a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Golden Globes and kick-started a fruitful 30-year career. ![]() The knowledge of him passing brings back wonderful memories of our time together.” Full Metal Jacket star Matthew Modine also tweeted a tribute to the actor. Vincent D’Onofrio, who as Private Leonard “Gomer Pyle” Lawrence was the main target of Hartman’s cruelty, tweeted Sunday, “Ermey was the real deal. ![]() I suppose Lee averaged eight or nine takes. Lee Ermey, for instance, would spend every spare second with the dialogue coach, and he always knew his lines. Kubrick told Rolling Stone in 1987, “If I did a hundred takes on every scene, I’d never finish a film. “Kubrick would punch the button on his tape recording, and I would go on and on and on until I ran out of gas … Then we would select the juiciest lines,” Ermey said. Not only did Ermey win the role – he stated that the notoriously perfectionist Kubrick even allowed the gunnery sergeant to improvise half of his dialogue and insults. “You can ask any drill instructor who was down there in 1965 or 1966, that’s exactly how the drill instructor’s demeanor was. “My main objective was basically to just play the drill instructor the way the drill instructor was and let the chips fall where they may,” Ermey said in a History Channel interview regarding his character. And, he especially cared deeply for others in need.” Lee Ermey was a family man, and a kind and gentle soul. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman of Full Metal Jacket fame was a hard and principled man. He has also contributed many iconic and indelible characters on film that will live on forever. And, it is extremely difficult to truly quantify all of the great things this man has selflessly done for, and on behalf of, our many men and women in uniform. “It is a terrible loss that nobody was prepared for,” Rogin added. He will be greatly missed by all of us,” Rogin wrote. Lee Ermey (“The Gunny”) passed away this morning from complications of pneumonia. “It is with deep sadness that I regret to inform you all that R. Lee Ermey, the gunnery sergeant turned actor who portrayed the scene-stealing drill instructor in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, died Sunday at the age of 74.Įrmey’s longtime manager Bill Rogin confirmed Ermey’s death on the actor’s Facebook account. Age 14 in 1958, he and his family moved to Zillah, Washington. Ermey left a wife, Marianila, six children, 12 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Two of his brothers are Terry and Jack.R. He had five brothers whom he grew up with on a farm outside of Kansas City, Kansas. He was born to John Edward and Betty Ermey. He died on Apin Santa Monica, California, United States aged 74. He was born on Main Emporia, Kansas, U.States. He was also a United States Marine Corps staff sergeant and an honorary gunnery sergeant.
