They don’t need to line up or remain even. Start with one cover in the center and then position the other covers around it. If you have a mixture of 33s and 45s, consider making a collage-like display. You could also add more height to the room by staggering the position of the columns instead of the rows. You use still rows but start each row slightly to the left or right of the previous row. For a clean look, leave two to three inches between each cover.Īnother option is the staggered look.

![]() The DX-57 is an early nineties model with three heads, full size headphone jack and the option to adjust bias for different tape types. Now primarily associated with electronic instruments Akai was once a tape specialist with a large range of models including reel to reels. Below are a few of the better models that are available second hand, happy hunting. If you can find a good servicing company most models can be kept running. I visited a hi-fi show in Warsaw recently and discovered that they still use tape recorders from the seventies and had a beautiful wall of the things on display. On the whole cassette decks were made in Japan where the standard of engineering is very high, this is why so many vintage models are still in use, and if the price is right it can be worth getting a tape deck repaired. Some may recall the mangled mess that a faulty tape deck can make out of a cassette, that’s obviously something to avoid. If you can listen to a tape deck before you buy it do so, and if you can’t make sure there is the option to return it if there’s a problem. While there is a lot to be said for buying newer models, that is those that are from the late Eighties onwards, many of the earlier or vintage models can be good if they have been looked after. When buying a used tape deck it’s worth bearing in mind that they are complex mechanical devices and that the older they are the more likely they are to have problems. A few used hi-fi retailers stock tape decks too, prices will be higher but should come with some guarantee which is useful which older models. Inevitably the most popular market place is eBay but there are quite a few on Gumtree and Preloved as well where the prices are a little better. However, as cassette was a massively popular format up until the late nineties there are plenty available second hand and often for giveaway prices. Today very few tape decks are still being made, in fact in our search we couldn’t find any non portable types on the market. The format is particularly popular in the experimental electronic field but also chart-topping releases are finding their way on to tape again. Tape decks or recorders are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative form of analogue source following the rather unexpected cassette comeback. ![]() With news that tapes are in fact not dead, Jason Kennedy rounds up the best cassette players for home listening and advises on what to look out for when buying vintage. ![]() At the moment you may have a very idealistic vision of the whole process which can become a disheartening experience once you take such a huge leap. I suggest taking gradual steps instead of just going. Thanks for taking your time to read all of this through… Please any feedback or answers would be of great help to me! If any of you have done such thing before and got to live in the temple with them, what was the fee? Did you pay them weekly? If you could, please elaborate on what the differences are between taoism, daoism and buddhism? Really briefly, if possible Has anyone done something similar, where can I go to gather information? Would it be easier for me to research while I’m actually in Taiwan? Now I have heard that not all buddhist monks practice tai chi for example, so what is it that I should be looking for? The reason why I prioritize tai chi is because I am hoping to better my body control and feel a sense of serenity whilst doing it.Īlso, how is it with wi-fi in temples? I really do enjoy my work as a developer and would love to be able to sharpen my skills IF such thing is allowed and that it wouldn’t disrupt my process of being… right there and then. Honestly, I am a little worried I might come off as ignorant, but my knowledge about what religions / beliefs are practiced around the world is not the best… So please take that in consideration when reading my wall-of-text (sorry!). So basically I want to “try” what it’s like and if it’s something I want to further delve into. I want to spend my month with monks, if possible, live at a temple and train tai chi and do other activities that they do in their every-day life. I will be visiting Taiwan in about a month and though I have a few connections down there already I think it’d only be wise to ask here for further guidance… Robinson’s hang-time layup down the lane tied it at 33 before the buzzer. Yoon’s fast-break layup gave the Quakers their first lead, 33-31, with less than a minute left in the third stanza. Sidwell never got its fast break going, unable to make up for the transition points by the Trailblazers early in the contest.Ī reverse layup by Dudley followed by an and-1 play by Marley Long tied it at 31 late in the third quarter. Sierra Canyon opened the second half with a 10-2 run, drilling two treys. The Blazers stretched the lead to six, but the Quakers pulled within 21-19 by halftime. Robinson was assigned to cover Jackson, a 6-1 playmaker who had started cold and began to heat up. It was, by far, the most physical battle of the tournament as officials allowed more contact under the rim on rebounds and loose balls.īy mid-second quarter, it became a tactical challenge for Sierra Canyon’s defense. Sidwell Friends found its footing and cut the lead to 15-12 in the second quarter. The Quakers used a 1-2-2 zone to counter the long-range shooting of Arenas and Robinson.

Socka was selected Most Valuable Player of the ‘Iolani Classic. Center Emilia Krstevski had 11 points and four blocks, and Izela Arenas chipped in 11 points. Jerzy Robinson, a 6-foot sophomore, led Sierra Canyon with 17 points, adding three assists and two steals. Jordyn Jackson tallied eight points with two steals. Kendall Dudley added 13 points on 6-for-11 shooting with three assists and three steals. She also had three steals and a blocked shot. Socka finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds, including seven caroms on the offensive board. We have a really balanced team and we don’t have any selfish kids.

Quakers coach Tamika Dudley implored her team to bring their passion and physicality to court from start to finish, particularly in the paint. It was an epic clash between national powerhouses.

The ghosts of the Black Sox players, beginning with Shoeless Joe, begin to appear on Ray’s surreal baseball field amid the corn. It’s a story about possibilities, about ghosts & visions, more a tale of what one wishes would happen rather than what really did happen. That juxtaposition seems very timely in a summer when artists are going broke because of a pandemic. Argh now I have to pull out Eight Men Out and watch it again.įield of Dreams is less about the business of baseball than the poetry of the game especially when understood in context with the value of real estate. The two films – Eight Men Out (1988) and Field of Dreams (1989) – might be yin and yang, a complementary pair of opposites. ![]() Unlike Field of Dreams, it’s about the hard realities of the game & the business of baseball, surely the best movie ever made about the game. And in passing it will offer you the best performance of John Cusack’s career. If you want to know more about this, you must see Eight Men Out, a film that will give you most of the facts of the complex story of bribes and bettors. The story of the Chicago White Sox players taking bribes to throw the 1919 World Series has become known as the Black Sox Scandal. The Shoeless Joe of the title is of course Shoeless Joe Jackson, who was among the players given a lifetime ban from professional baseball by Kenesaw Mountain Landis, the first major league commissioner, and a figure determined to bring integrity to baseball. Ray’s father had been a ballplayer and an admirer of Shoeless Joe. He seems like a stranger in a strange land, both on his farm, and especially when he starts to hear voices & see visions: leading him to build a baseball field in the middle of the corn on his Iowa farm. The farmer we meet played by Kevin Costner is Ray Kinsella. The protagonist of the book has a similar surname to the novelist. I make no apology that I’m offering spoilers for a novel & a film that appeared more than 30 years ago, back in the 1980s. If you’ve seen the film you’d probably enjoy the book, although there’s a great deal that comes across differently with the help of cinema, the actors & the music of James Horner. I hope you noticed that it’s not just about baseball, that the game is a backdrop rather than the real subject.įield of Dreams is based on Shoeless Joe a novel by Canadian WP Kinsella. ![]() Limit Direct Response Posts - New posts that could reasonably serve as a reply to a different post that is in the top 40 of “Hot” may be removed by the moderators at their discretion.

Reach out to care staff and get to know them. However, it’s perfectly natural to worry about the quality of care they’ll receive elsewhere.Īddress this concern by attending family care meetings at the community, and stay informed about the care your loved one is receiving. It should come as a relief that you’re no longer your loved one’s primary caregiver, managing appointments, medications and treatments on your own. If your family member ever has a change in health, you’ll already know and trust the staff there, and your loved one will experience a seamless transition to the next level of care. Your input will be needed to create a comprehensive plan for your loved one’s well-being, and you’ll have a voice at family care meetings to make sure everyone is on the same page.Īs the team of health professionals comes to know your loved one, they’ll be able to offer you insightful support, counsel and guidance. You may have been the sole planner of care for your aging parents and, because of this, you best understand what they need going forward. However, as you learn to trust and partner with staff at the community, other responsibilities will come to the fore. You no longer need to arrange transportation to appointments, prepare meals or plan social activities. You’re no longer on call for your loved one’s daily living activities, such as personal hygiene, bathing or taking medications. ![]() When it comes time for a parent to move to a senior living community, your caregiver responsibilities will change. You’ll get to know them as never before hear stories of their youth share their dreams and make a huge, positive impact as you help them navigate the fears and concerns of aging. The bonds you form are different from those you have as their daughter or son, but just as precious. That said, caring for aging parents can also be incredibly rewarding. Maintaining a loved one’s quality of life and continuity of care is especially challenging as their physical and psychological needs change. As primary caregivers know, caring for a family member is a demanding role with wide-ranging responsibilities and high expectations. Large or small, details matter when you’re caring for elderly parents. You can feel free to toggle all of this stuff off if you wish of course, and we did knock motion blur and anti-aliasing on the head, but the additions here really do highlight just how well Quake's vision of a multi-dimensional hellscape has held up.Īs we already mentioned, this is a feature-packed remaster too. ![]() You've got texture smoothing, a choice of resolutions, anti-aliasing, ambient occlusion, depth of field, motion blur and, perhaps our favourite, dynamic lighting, that subtly adds to the game's already superb atmosphere. Of course, all of this is aided by graphical bells and whistles here, lots of little modern touches which don't so much change the look or feel of the original as they do compliment it. In motion, it's hypnotic stuff and as buttery smooth and exhilarating as ever. It may not look so hot in static screenshot images, but boot this bad boy up, start strafing and shooting around the Necropolis, gibbing round Grisly Grotto or the House of Chthon, and you're immediately pulled fully into its nightmare world. It absolutely looks and sounds every one of its 25 years, make no mistake about that, but the whole thing - the dark and dingy nightmare environments, twisted imagery, horrifying enemies and stellar sound design - fuses together to form what now comes across as a genuinely timeless vibe. In terms of atmosphere, too, Quake's Lovecraftian/Gothic horror nightmare world somehow still holds together remarkably well given how completely mad it all is. ![]() There's far more geometric complexity, you can fully explore your surroundings, something that was genuinely mind-blowing back in 1996, and the combat gets a real turbo-boosted kick up the backside from the resulting freedom and new level of traversal it offers. Instead there's almost as much exploration and puzzling as there is shooting here, and it's made all the more immersive by the leap in technology brought about by its fully 3D game engine. This isn't simply an endless siege or a full on mindless assault involving hordes of demonic foes, although there's still plenty of that. On the face of things, it all looks very DOOM-esque, but getting to grips with this one reveals a game that's so much more nuanced in terms of its action, in its level design and in how it goes about placing its enemies. Ulysses is great for an all around writing app.The downside to MarginNote is that support is nearly non-existent, although updates are frequent. It also has far less to offer in features than MarginNote, especially with regard to tagging annotations. Unfortunately, it munges annotations from other editing sources (e.g. However, should I ever decide to drop ZoomNotes (likely b/c the document management method eventually becomes tedious), Concepts is the next app I would use. I find ZoomNotes superior for doing the types of technical drawings and notes that I need to do for the reasons I mention above. –> The two most significant advantages of MarginNotes over PDFExpert are the ability to write hand-written notes to highlights and the ability to hash-tag annotations.
