![]() So, come to Thompson’s Motorsports to select your model today, and become part of the Harley family. When you ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle, you ride a legend that took years to build. It wasn't long before these powerful vehicles were spotted holding their own on the racetrack. Within 7 short years, the engines on the newest models operated at twice the horsepower of the first design. The company was officially established in 1903, and by 1904 Harley-Davidson motorcycles were released with full force to dominate the industry. Furthermore, the new design also allowed the bike to work without pedals. Fueled with determination and perseverance, they worked tirelessly until the design was improved. Their first invention was a success however, it didn’t pack enough power to climb the hills of Milwaukee. The two friends got their start by creating single-cylinder engines with the intention of improving the simple pedal bike design. As you may have figured out, the iconic name is a combination of the founder’s last names, Harley and Davidson. Harley and Arthur Davidson, who came together to work on a common dream. The company wouldn’t exist if it weren't for two childhood friends, William S.

![]() On the other hand, it’s kind of an incredible game to take small bites out of every now and then. Repetitive missions, repetitive environments, and repetitive enemies make it hard to enjoy extended sessions in Aragami 2. ![]() Due to the clunky AI, you can often just run away and hide in a corner after being caught to avoid combat and reset the enemy alert meters. There are fun ideas like parrying and sword-clashing at play, but it all feels a little muddy and unpolished. When you’re spotted in Aragami 2, you enter combat. ![]() The repetitive enemy design adds an extra wrinkle to the discomfort of failing stealth. ![]() Enemies and environments are just as repetitive – you’ll return to the same maps multiple times, and encounter the same humanoid blade-wielding guards for pretty much the entire run of the game. Mission objectives are far too basic and repetitive, and without a strong narrative purpose, it’s hard to get excited about nameless assassination contracts and generic supply gathering missions. Monster Hunter makes sense because of the endlessly repeatable nature of your task to hunt huge monsters, and other hub-oriented games justify the repetitive job-search with unique missions or threads of narrative tying sets of missions together.Īragami 2, struggles to justify the unstructured experience. The structure apes off Monster Hunter, but it’s hard to feel like it’s warranted. Grab a mission, hop into the shadow-teleporter-thing and get whisked away to a standalone environment in order to complete your objective and escape unharmed. The sequel is set in a small hub village, where you upgrade your abilities, customise your armor, and then snag missions from a job board. The variety of stealth tools at your disposal help break up the monotony of the new gameplay loop in Aragami 2, which might come as another surprise to fans of the original. Underneath it all, the fundamental stealth gameplay remains, and it’s easily the most satisfying part of the game. A generic distraction whistle that alerts nearby enemies can be upgraded to target specific guards, or a temporary smokescreen can become a permanent smoke-emitter deployed at any lanterns on the map. You can unlock a series of base perks with useful properties, and then dump a few extra skill points into each perk to upgrade them and their abilities. A few core abilities from the original – like creating shadows in your environment to act as movement markers and hiding spots – have been removed in favour of mixing a larger skill tree of more versatile abilities into the game. Narrative and character development are much less of a focus in this sequel, so while the light story elements tie into the new open-ended nature of the gameplay loop and make it easy for anyone to hop into the game, it’s sure to be a disappointment for any existing fans of the series.Ī lot of the core gameplay of the first Aragami carries forward to the sequel, but it’s been remixed, expanded and altered in a lot of ways. There are a few interesting ideas established throughout the 15-hour campaign of Aragami 2, but don’t expect them to get explored or fleshed out in a satisfying way. Set a century after the first game, it tosses the protagonist of the original into an entirely new world where shadow-inflicted citizens of a small village are at risk of being decimated by an invading clan of warriors. There’s no need to catch up on the story of the first game before diving into Aragami 2. ![]() ![]() Within a Quitclaim Deed, there may be more than one grantee if the property owner is transferring their interest to multiple parties. The grantee is the party who receives interest in a piece of real property from another party.Within a Quitclaim Deed, there may be more than one grantor if two or more parties co-own a piece of real property. In other words, the grantor is the party whose name is currently on the title. The grantor is the party that transfers interest in a piece of real property to another party.Either party can be an individual, corporation, or trust. To complete a Quitclaim Deed, you must name the grantor and grantee. Generally, you can create and execute a Quitclaim Deed by completing the following steps: 1. However, you can create a Survivorship Deed if you want to transfer property to multiple people who will each have the right of survivorship. Our Quitclaim Deed template does not give you the option to include the right of survivorship. When one joint owner remains, they have sole ownership of the property.įor example, if spouses jointly own property with the right of survivorship and one of them passes away, the surviving spouse automatically inherits the deceased spouse's interest in the property without going through probate. What's a Quitclaim Deed with the right of survivorship?Ī Quitclaim Deed with the right of survivorship allows multiple people to receive and jointly own real property and ensures that after a joint owner dies, the property title automatically transfers to the surviving owner(s) without having to go through probate. Due to the lack of warranties for the buyer, Quitclaim Deed forms are only suitable when buyers have 100% trust in the seller. Fix a defect on a property title, such as a misspelled nameĪlthough it's less common, Quitclaim Deeds can also be used when you're selling and transferring a title to a buyer.Remove a spouse's name from a title during divorce.Add a spouse's name to a title after marriage.Transfer property interest to an organization.Transfer property interest from a trust to an heir. ![]() Transfer property interest to a family member, such as a child or spouse.You can use a Quitclaim Deed for a variety of situations. It's for this reason that Quitclaim Deeds are most common for property transfers between people who have established, trusted relationships.Īlternatively, a Warranty Deed provides protections for buyers and recipients of real property. Therefore, this type of deed offers no protection for recipients. If a recipient receives real property through a Quitclaim Deed form and the title ends up having a defect, the transferring party can't be held liable for any damages the recipient experiences. Without a guarantee of ownership, another party, such as a bank or other lender, could have a legal claim on the property title without the recipient knowing. ![]() How does a Quitclaim Deed work?Ī Quitclaim Deed works by allowing the owner to transfer residential or commercial real property to a recipient without making assurances that the title is clear of any defects. People commonly misspell this document as "quick claim” deed. In addition, Quitclaim Deeds are mostly used for transactions that don't involve payment.Ī Quitclaim Deed is also known as a non-warranty deed. Using a Quitclaim Deed form is a fast and straightforward way to transfer an owner's property interest to another party.īecause there's no guarantee of ownership, Quitclaim Deeds are most often used between people who have a trusted and established relationship, such as family members. A Quitclaim Deed is a document that transfers ownership of real property, such as a house or piece of land, without a guarantee of ownership. ![]() Masturbation thus becomes for many simply a way to resolve any kind of tension. Unfortunately, today’s youth are not taught how to masturbate lovingly during the course of their sexual education. Over the following weeks, the growing boy then experiences the sweet sensations that can be caused by the rubbing, stroking, and touching of the lingam. For some the first ejaculation comes as a complete surprise, sometimes even completely without touching the lingam, as a “nocturnal emission” during their sleep. In the lingam, see the beauty of solidified gold,Īnd the stimulation of its sparkling jewels!Īt some point during puberty every boy experiences it: a sweet feeling accompanied by the excretion of a milky liquid from the lingam. Over time, as his consciousness deepens, these practices give a man complete control over his ejaculation. It allows men to savor longer, deeper orgasms and teaches taoist and tantric practices for conserving sexual energy. Lingam massage is not simply a hands-on technique but involves the conscious direction of energy throughout the body. Through loving touch, lingam massage provides the deep relaxation that supports sustained erection, putting a man in touch with less familiar aspects of his sexuality, including the energetic responses of his perineum, prostate gland, and anus. Western cultural expectations around sexual “performance” have created sexual difficulties for many men, including erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. The goal of a lingam massage is to provide a man conscious, loving contact with his own masculinity. In India, the lingam is revered as an expression of Shiva’s clarity, symbolizing the fine sword that differentiates between truth and falsehood. ![]() Lingamis the Sanskrit word for the male generative organ, the penis. If you ask ten people to name the best subcompact pistol, you’ll likely get ten different answers. It was also accurate and comfortable in their hands when shooting, even after more than 100 rounds at the test range. Although Glock’s standard plastic sights aren’t particularly exciting, they’re easily replaced. Like most Glock weapons, I found the gun to shoot consistently, with controllable recoil. When it comes to actually shooting the Glock 43, there were no big surprises. The real strength of the G43 is the balance of small size and control It’s not just an easy subcompact 9mm to carry – it’s one of the best 9mm carry firearms out there. ![]() The Glock 43 felt secure in my hands when shooting. Hand fit with subcompact pistols is often an area of concern, but with the Glock 43 this was not an issue. Other than grip length and overall width the Glock 43 is similar in size to the Glock 26 however, it’s easier to shoot and handle with its longer, thinner grip. The size of the pistol is very similar to some of the other compact pistols in Glock’s lineup – with an emphasis on the thinness thanks to the single stack magazine. We dove deep into my personal Glock 43 in our in-depth review. It’s a wonderful gun – and at about 1” wide can work well in any carry position. The Glock 43 is the subcompact that consistently performs – especially chambered for 9mm rounds. The Glock 43 is a variant on the full-size Glock 17 platform (one of its “Slimline” variants) as the Glock 19 is generally too big for CCW. They’re great pistols – and the Glock 19 has been a law enforcement staple since its introduction in 1983. You’ll rarely see a list of 9mm pistols without a Glock, and for good reason. This will ensure you can comfortably and confidently carry your weapon every day. The new XMacro is the first P365 to include palmswell inserts, expanding the available hand sizes that can find a home on the platform. I attribute the Sig P365’ impressive accuracy and ease of use to its good grip and excellent trigger.Īny shooter should be able to become proficient with this pistol in a short amount of time, and the grip is large enough for a variety of hand sizes. If you’re a trigger connoisseur, then you should love this pistol. That is subjective, but it’s still worth noting. Some of our testers commented that it might be the best trigger in all of the subcompact polymer frame, striker-fired pistols out there. The trigger pull is no heavier than the Glock 26’s but it offers a better trigger feel and a short and snappy pull overall. ![]() One of the biggest pluses of the Sig P365 Subcompact is its short and smooth trigger pull. The various pistol components are interchangeable, and that makes this a highly customizable pistol.īeyond the accessory rail, you can build a small-frame pistol for concealed carry one day, and then on another day, you can have the full-frame gun you want to shoot. You can configure this pistol to any size: subcompact, compact, and full-frame by swapping the grip module on the P365 firing control unit. One thing that sets the Sig P365 subcompact apart from the competition is that the pistol is highly customizable thanks to a modular design. If the hero of Guy Ritchie’s new movie were called Nick Carter, Sexton Blake or Richard Hannay, it would rate as super festive season entertainment. It’s up to an ingenious, two-fisted detective, his stalwart sidekick and a femme fatale with mixed motives to save the day – after jolly good punch-ups, spectacular explosions, startling deductive speeches and a duel on the still-unfinished upper tier of the new Tower Bridge. He goes to the gallows, but returns to life and continues his seemingly-supernatural reign of terror, which is supposed to culminate in a terrorist atrocity (involving a new-fangled chemical weapon) that will strike at the heart of the British Empire. Lord Blackwood (Mark Strong), a dastardly Victorian villain with a Hitler haircut and pantomime King Rat teeth (and dress sense), is apprehended just as he is about to sacrifice a maiden in a Masonic ritual under London. It’s a movie about two guys who know their stuff, and can’t stop until they figure out the mystery.My reviews/notes on Guy Ritchie’s Holmes films. Law, too, makes a great case for Watson being an educated man of science instead of fatty comic relief.īoth of the actors bring a great utilitarian feel to the characters, a feel that hits for the movie as a whole.ĭon’t walk into Sherlock Holmes expecting a stuffy period piece or an action movie (well, for the most part). He’s still got that Tony Stark charisma but his primary motive is to solve the case, and charming anyone seems a distant second interest. Downey avoids looking like the friendly and playful magical douche that he comes off as in the fairly awful posters. Maybe I was just in a very stupid mood when I saw the film, but I couldn’t see an explanation coming the entire time, even though I was looking for all of the typical tip-offs that litter today’s movies. ![]() To retell the plot would be challenging – it’s a series of events that are hard to understand as a whole, until Sherlock comes in at the end and makes sense of every small detail. I might let these minor infractions by if they were more exciting, but as far as being an action movie, Holmes is fairly by the numbers. And the climax takes place on the not-so-subtle set piece of an under-construction Tower Bridge. It is nothing terribly over the top, but he does employ multiple slow-motion takes of a single explosion. Unfortunately, the adaptation’s authentic feel derails in the third act. It’s not that movies shouldn’t look pristine, but it’s great to change it up and see Holmes in a dirty, utilitarian style that feels real (and, as a guy that got nauseous during The Hurt Locker, it’s great to see Ritchie do it without having to rely on steadicam.) It’s a great breath of fresh air from every other tent pole released today, from the good ( Avatar) to the thoroughly crappy ( Transformers 2). ![]() It’s apparent from the get go that Ritchie’s not interested in giving us a straight-up entertainment ride – instead he creates a grimy 19th Century London, with filthy brown rooms shown through dirty cinematography, almost with the vibe of an early 70s New Hollywood film. romp of charisma and smartassery (I have to admit, I was worried Downey would be reprising his super-likable characters from Iron Man and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang in this titular role.) Instead it is, quite genuinely, an old-school mystery movie. ![]() While it’s always more entertaining to see a jolly fat man in the movies than the new Holmes‘ version, the slim but adept (and to be fair, pretty strong in his own right) Watson, played by Jude Law, is just one example that proves the changes made in Ritchie’s Holmes work pretty well.īut it’s not all shoot-’em-ups and drug runs like you’d expect from Ritchie. The Sherlock Holmes we’ve come to know is the one with that ridiculous deerstalker hat, perpetually staring through a magnifying glass and walking alongside an amusingly obese Watson. Many have worried it would be all flash and dazzle, a fear that wouldn’t be totally unjustified considering the quick-cut editing and matter-of-factness dialogue that Ritchie’s filmography has been host to.īut now that it’s out, it turns out we have nothing to worry about. Everyone’s been making a fuss about the new Sherlock Holmes movie from Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels English crime filmmaker Guy Ritchie and how it’s suposed to be a different animal from the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle detective stories that are ingrained in pop culture. ![]() Knowledge of and facility with electronic medical record (EMR) and practice management (EPM) systems.Understanding and analytic capabilities consistent with operational flow analysis and coding and compliance.Understands and follows procedures for surgical and procedural consents, pre- and post-operative instructions.Understands and utilizes sterile technique and procedures.Thorough knowledge of eye anatomy, disease, symptoms, surgical procedures, and ocular medications.Ophthalmic pre-exam workup, basic and advanced ophthalmic testing including but not limited to demonstrated proficiency in case histories, visual acuity testing, EOM, and pupil testing, keratometry, tonometry, visual field testing, OCT testing, topography, fundus, optic nerve and external photography, biometry A-Scan/IOLMaster, preliminary slit lamp exams with angle grading.Ophthalmic Assistant/Technician, with or without COA/COT: 1 year (preferred).2-3 years of Retina Scribe experience required. ![]() Associates Degree minimum / Bachelor’s Degree preferred.EMR entry, notes, charting and assist as scribe for physician as required, as well as EMR documentation of all patient communications.Attends required staff and educational meetings as requested.The scribe does not directly assist with patient care.The scribe transcribes any consultations or discussions with family members.The scribe documents any procedures that may be performed by the physician or ophthalmic medical personnel.The scribe, under the direction of the physician, transcribes the impression and plan, results of tests, prescriptions, and orders. ![]()
![]() What was your approach to telling that part of the story? It’s about their lives and them growing up, but it’s also about how they discovered both separately and together that they’re very gifted musicians and forming the band Tegan and Sara. lt was really remarkable that they let me do this at all! I can’t imagine what it would be like to write a memoir and have todelve that deep into your life, and get everything in the right order, and then have someone come along and shake that all up. They worked so hard on it, so then me coming in, being like, “What if this happened instead?” They were like, “Wait, what! But that’s not what happened.” That was an adjustment. That also took a little bit of getting used to for them. ![]() So then it was just about having a conversation and finding a happy medium where they didn’t feel like it was so far from reality.Īlthough as the show evolved, it did sort of become its own thing, and there were more fictionalized parts of it. We won’t feel good about that in the show.” But there were certain times that something needed to happen in order to move the story forward. We never wanted to do anything that they were like, “We hate that. ![]() Given that it’s their lives, were there things where you were, like, “Oh, I really wanted that in there, but they don’t”?Ī lot of their notes were about accuracy, details of like, “Oh, that would have never happened.” There were a couple of things that they really didn’t want us to do, and in those cases, if it was important to the story, we would have bigger conversations, and usually end up compromising. We would write the scripts, they would read the scripts, and again, sign off on those as well. We would send them outlines, and then they would let us know what they were OK with, or not OK with, in those. How did the Tegan and Sara of it all work with them as executive producers - were you sending them scripts? How were you getting their feedback? DuVall directed six of the eight, with Rebecca Asher directing the other two.ĭuVall spoke with Variety about creating the universe of “High School,” why it was “a real dream job” and her hopes for its future. Laura Kittrell (“Insecure”) joined the project as co-showrunner with DuVall, and the two of them wrote the entire eight-episode season. ![]() But for DuVall, “the world around them also felt very rich,” and in “High School,” we also see the perspectives of their mother, Simone (Cobie Smulders) their stepfather, Patrick (Kyle Bornheimer) their father, David (Nate Corddry) and the friends who populate their lives.Īfter she got the Quins on board for a potential television adaptation, they worked with producers Plan B, and sold the show to Amazon Freevee (which at the time was IMDb TV). The chapters of the book are divided between the sisters, and for a television show about identical twins, that format would eventually serve as the template to keep track of whose eyes the audience is seeing the story through. “Even though I was a woman in my 40s reading the book, feeling seen at that time - who I was at that time, it was just so powerful.” “The way they captured what it was like to be a queer teenager coming out and coming of age in the ’90s, it mirrored my experience so much,” she said. So when DuVall read an early version of “High School,” the Quins’ 2019 memoir recounting their teenage years in Calgary, it only made sense that she envisioned adapting it herself. Sara Quin scored DuVall’s 2016 feature debut as a writer-director “The Intervention,” and Tegan and Sara wrote the Christmas song “Make You Mine This Season” for her second film, 2020’s lesbian romcom “Happiest Season.” Since then, she’s collaborated with them a number of times: Among other things. Nonetheless, after DuVall - a prolific actor in movies such as “But I’m a Cheerleader” and “Argo” - was introduced to the duo when she joined some friends who were seeing them perform, the three women eventually all became good friends “through being in the same circles.” As DuVall began to explore directing, the first things she ever did were promotional videos for Tegan and Sara’s “Heartthrob” record, released in early 2013. When Clea DuVall first met the Canadian indie musicians Tegan and Sara Quin years ago, “I was not familiar with their music,” she recalled in an interview this week. SPOILER ALERT: This interview contains light spoilers for the first four episodes of “ High School,” now streaming on Amazon Freevee. ![]() If you've got a variety of photo sizes finding a photo binder which has a few different types of photo sleeves, that can accomodate various sized photos, may be helpful. If you've got a variety of photo sizes to display an album like the one shown may not work well for you, because it only holds 4圆 photos. These include wallet, 3x5, 4圆, 5x7, and 8x10, plus even more. What sizes of photos do you want to add to the album? There are lots of common sizes of photos. It also states it is "Archival, photo safe-acid, lignin and PVC free." The features that you should know about this album used an the example is that it holds 300 4圆 inch photos in plastic sleeves, three per page, with a memo area. I chose red because it is pretty, and I like that color (see Question 3 below!) but there are many colors available. It is a Pioneer brand archival photo album (available at the link on Amazon), and is a pretty popular brand on the site. ![]() To the left is the photo album we'll evaluate. I think it's easiest to explain some of the choices of features by giving you an example as I list several subquestions to ask yourself. ![]() ![]() Question number 2 focuses on some important features that differ between albums, to make sure the one you choose works best for how you want to use it. Once you've narrowed down your search of the best photo album for you to those which are archival quality, then this is where you really get to start making choices that suit you.įor the next two questions there really aren't right and wrong answers, just things to consider. Question 2: Does This Album Have The Features I Want Most? It may look cute now, or be cheaper, but you'll regret it later, even if that regret isn't evident for 20+ years. If the photo album you're thinking about doesn't state it is these things mentioned above you should assume it does not meet your criteria, and steer clear of it. When purchasing an album for storing your family's memories, long term, you're looking for these criteria: What You're Looking For With An Archival Photo Album The safe plastics to use for photos are polypropylene, polyethylene and Mylar. But these types of plastics also breakdown and produce acids which harm the photos, including making them sometimes stick and adhere to the plastic making it impossible for them to be removed. In the past lots of albums with sleeves or pockets for photos were made of PVC plastic, or a similar poor quality plastic covered each page of the album to "protect" the photo underneath. As the acids cause this damage to the paper itself it also damages other things that paper is touching, like the precious photographs you've placed in the album.Īvoid albums with poor quality plastic. This causes the paper to turn yellow, and then brown. But over time the lignin in this type of paper breaks down and releases acids. Lignin is a type of chemical compound, found in wood, that is often used to make paper stronger. Steer clear of albums made with pages or covers that are not acid and lignin free. Similarly, do not purchase photo albums with the magnetic backings either. Plus, it can cause the photograph to disintegrate because of the chemicals within it. The adhesive which causes the photo to basically be lightly glued to the page eventually yellows and becomes brittle, and can make the photos extremely difficult to remove, perhaps ripping the fragile paper if you ever try. Types Of Albums To Avoidĭo not buy albums with adhesive backing. The damage is slow to show but it will happen. But adding photographs into an album that is not archival quality will eventually be something you, or future generations, regret. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be a consideration for manufacturers of some of these items. It's actually really aggravating, because once you put pictures into a photo album your plan is for those photos to stay there, permanently. Lots of albums available at stores are not what are termed "archival," or actually safe to store photos in long-term. Question 1: Is This An Archival Photo Album? These questions will help you make sure you consider all the options first though, so you're happy with your purchase. You'll find that these questions have some hard and fast rules in them, such as albums I absolutely believe you should NEVER purchase.īut for the most part there is no right answer, just choosing from various options, so what is the "best" album is not the same for everyone. Therefore, I've forumulated three big questions, some of them with subquestions, you can ask yourself when making the choice of albums to make sure you're choosing the best photo album for you. |
