![]() This would be used in the husband’s guest room, which had a steampunk look. This made my life a bit less stressful when it came to this furniture project. But, the client had already chosen the color, the finish, and the hardware. Talk about being out of my comfort zone! I had no idea what a steampunk look was all about. Believe you me, I was scared to death when it came to this makeover. Giving these pieces a makeover really changed the dynamic of their master bedroom! It is now cozy and inviting! The Steampunk Chest of Drawers Here is the tall chest of drawers after the makeover.Īnd lastly, the long dresser. I used Krylon spray paint in Chrome for the furniture hardware. The existing hardware would be used and just painted so that they were all the same color. The color Cotton (White) would be used for the underlayer, just as the bed had. I decided that the closest color would be Dixie Belle’s, Manatee Gray. She had sent me a picture of her beautiful bed frame and asked that the furniture pieces have the same color and finish.Ĭhalk paint from Dixie Belle Paint Company is always a safe bet for repurposing furniture. You can see that the finish is more of a cherry color.Īll pieces were in pristine shape and all solid wood. The last piece was a long dresser with silver hardware. You can see another dresser makeover HERE. ![]() With paint and a little elbow grease, and BAM, you have new bedroom furniture! The first piece was a tall chest of drawers and two matching nightstands. Mismatched pieces is an easy furniture project to tackle. They had just finished building a new home and wanted to give their set a more cohesive look. These pieces were collected throughout the years and did not match with each other. My client had purchased several used pieces of bedroom furniture for her master bedroom. And all by using paint! The Mismatched Furniture Makeover Gold was her coordinating color.įrom brown and dull, to charming and fresh. But, if the client wants white, they get white! The hardware would be replaced with white knobs that had gold accents. I love white on just about anything, but sometimes painting dark furniture white can be a headache. The client wanted the desk to have a fresh, crisp look for her new office and asked if I would paint the desk white. If you want your furniture pieces to get upcycled with little effet, paint is the answer. A few scratches and dings, but nothing that paint could not fix. It was solid wood but had seen better days. I will refer to the first makeover as the “Freebie Desk.” Freebies are the best! My client’s neighbor gave her the desk for free.

![]() ![]() ![]() The Milo complex grew with the acquisition of several buildings on Cleveland Avenue, including a recording studio and a former auto shop that is now home to 934 Gallery. During the latter half of the 1990s, renovations to the building continued and amenities, such as private baths and kitchens, were added to many of the studios. In the early years a unique variance was won allowing for work, live, sell, perform all in one’s own artist space. The building plans call it non-separated mixed use – unique wording to allow the artists their full range of creativity while meeting their personal living needs. The large open spaces, abundant natural light and historic architectural features added to the appeal of the building for artist live-work studios. Before the first Columbus Dispatch article appeared, 26 artists had joined the community that is now the longest standing live-work artist residence in Columbus, Ohio. Nearly 40 artists now occupy the former classrooms converted to live-work studios. Freese, who also designed another famous Columbus landmark the Franklin Park Conservatory.Īfter 5 years, a core group of founding artists approached Rick with the vision to transform the building into an affordable live-work space, a dream that has become the Milo Arts community of today. The school was originally built in 1894 by the citizens of the town of Milo (long since absorbed into the city of Columbus) who pooled their resources so their children could receive an education. Snider purchased a vacant school in the Milo-Grogan neighborhood of Columbus, Ohio. Homeport’s will devote our time to overseeing the quality of construction, working with the general contractor, Wallick Construction the architect, Hooker DeJong and Wallick Communities’ management staff, to be sure the details are right.In 1983, Richard W. What’s next? All 86 apartments will be renovated, building by building, over the next 18-plus months. ![]() Thank you to everyone who’s worked on this development! This type of investment is important in creating affordable housing that endures.Ĭredit is due to many people, inside and outside Homeport, for this milestone, in particular Brenda Peterson and Josh Casper, Homeport’s development staff who work on the project Roy Lowenstein, Homeport’s development consultant CMHA, for choosing Homeport as its partner and the construction’s financiers, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, Lument, and Ohio Capital Finance Corporation. That keeps these apartments available to a wide range of people, all while their apartments’ physical condition dramatically improves. Thanks to Thornwood Commons’ legacy of ownership by CMHA, every family who lives there will pay no more than 30% of their household income toward rent. Thornwood Commons’ renovations include new windows, cabinets, flooring, more energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, and much more. The closing is more like a new starting line for any project: After more than two years of planning, Thornwood Commons is ready to start construction. Homeport is excited to announce that in late June we closed on the construction financing for our next development, “Thornwood Commons.” Thornwood Commons is an important partnership with the Columbus Metropolitan Housing Authority, to extensively renovate 86 apartments for families that were originally built in the mid-1950s in Columbus’ Milo-Grogan neighborhood. ![]() While being a fan of the Game of Thrones/Song of Ice & Fire series is not a prerequisite to play A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, it certainly helps for getting immersed in the game’s theme namely, political control, conquest, and deceit. The encounter cards in the game, which also feature this stunning artwork, add a minor narrative and thematic element as players must decide what to do when presented with a situation within this world.Ī Game of Thrones: The Board Game is one that you and your friends and family will remember for many years to come. The amount of money they receive for each category is directly tied to the amount of popularity points they’ve gained over the game.Īnother obvious positive aspect of Scythe worth mentioning is its stunning artwork and unique alternate history theme, most notably the steampunk-esque mechs that roam the game board and are featured in the art on many of the cards and box. Players then get money for starts they’ve placed, territories they control, and the number of resources they have. Once a player has placed their final star, the game ends immediately – no player gets another turn. ![]() Throughout the game, players will be placing stars on an achievement track for having met certain game conditions. One very interesting aspect of the game is the way that the end-game is triggered. In other words, if you are a gamer who doesn’t necessarily like a lot of direct player interaction, you still may very much like this game. Instead, the game focuses more on players dealing with the possibility of an attack, and acts as a source for strategic decision making in terms of avoiding becoming a target for another player to attack in order to gain resources. While combat is present in Scythe, it is by no means a primary mechanism or focus of the game. The catch, however, is that players must choose a different action space on their next turn, so planning and timing is crucial in order to maximize actions. Scythe, designed by Jamey Stegmaier, is an action-selection game in which players on their turn take their action pawn and place it on an action space on their player board in order to activate a particular action. However, if you can make it work, this is a very rewarding and memorable game experience you are almost guaranteed to fall in love with. ![]() With family and work commitments, it can sometimes be a challenge to repeatedly meet with the exact same group of friends or family. The only potential drawback to Risk Legacy is the fact that, because it is a 15-game campaign, it requires you to play with the same people over the course of many gaming sessions. Risk Legacy is a game that provides players with a sense of discovery as the game continues to evolve throughout the course of the campaign. However, just by opening the game box, you will find envelopes that are to be opened once certain conditions have been met in the game, and blank spots in the rulebook and faction cards where stickers can be placed in the future. Risk Legacy is a game that provides players with a sense of discovery as the game continues to evolve throughout the course of the campaign, and for this reason we can’t necessarily discuss the specific changes that are introduced to make this a fun and exciting experience. Risk Legacy is actually considered to be the original legacy game that started this genre, and received the 2012 Golden Geek Beset Innovative Board Game award. At the end of a legacy campaign, the game will look very different in comparison to how it began. In other words, cards can be written on or torn up, stickers can be applied to the game board and other places, new components can be introduced, and game rules can be significantly altered. If you are unfamiliar with the term “ legacy game,” the term refers to a campaign-style game (played over a series of rounds) in which the game is physically altered throughout the course of successive game rounds. The mood is completed with comforting, soothing music. Watch these photographic backgrounds as they are enhanced by several animated creatures, including fish, squirrels, butterflies and dragonflies.

![]() I don't feel like the feedback bonus is really needed most of the time, especially on a weaker team, where money is the biggest problem. I also like real safety car, its much easier to exploit, at some tracks you can overtake some drivers it the pit, while the safety car is out. The AI bugs out with that and you can use that wet track for your advantage. 80% is just not for me.įunniest rule to vote in: race sprinklers. Low profile tyres? i dont care what tyre type, i have best tyre wear anyway (actually smoothness is the most important stat for drivers) and it varies from track to track anyway. long and 3 stage quali is a waste of time. I like short qualifying, so i get faster over it. With pit stop, smallest crew possible is best, however i do mix the crew through. You just start renegioting when the driver hits a bad temporary trait (like flu, dodgy neck etc) it can save you up to 500.000 cash per race and you always get the drivers you want. It gives you early the money, you need to climb up the ladder very quickly. ![]() ![]() This is actually my favorite, if you want to start from bottom tier. This helps a lot in developing parts, It gets useful, if you can generate enough cashflow to design so many parts. I think, this might be better than Financial, but not really that great. However if you sign driver with good feedback anyway, it doesnt matter to much. You can do long term contracts at medium 3 star drivers, which can get close to a full start driver after 3 season. The feedback +3 can give you just enough extra feedback to make your race / qualifying setups complete and the improved driver might help you too. Thats trash, doesnt give you any advantage. However i can play almost every ruleset and i just pass on track vote or similar. I think this is the one of the better traits. Thank you for all of that, and i was thinking, when are they going to add in more background stories? Originally posted by HeartFoam:Politico: 4 extra votes each season, free rule proposals Why on earth would I give up politico for this? I've not used it, but what it offers is bottom tier. And anyone who has legitimately unlocked this (and it can be very hard to unlock) is very familiar with the game.ĭo I miss it when I don't have it? No. Needing drivers and staff to always negotiate is also a trivial bonus once you're familiar with the game. Extra marketability is obviously good early game, but useless after about 3 seasons when your team marketability is maxing out anyway. Motorsport Legend*: +50 team marketability, drivers and staff always negotiate And that's a cheaper way to overtake Steinmann than out-grinding them.ĭo I miss it when I don't have it? I've never used it. So how useful is this? Also, with politico you can vote in spec engines (by far the most important stat to car performance), then vote to develop them again. That said, you're going to out-develop the AI anyway. Even after 20 seasons with a max HQ, when a part reset comes along you'll be out-developing your opponents. And that's time enough to build a 4th engine, for example. That might not seem like much, but if you're in the WMC making 3 versions of 6 parts, by the end of the season you'll be 18 days ahead of where you would be. Unless you're roleplaying, there's nothing here.ĭo I miss it when I don't have it? No. ![]() I know how to manage practice, I sign a good 3rd driver just for feedback (Leonzio Fara is a good example). Driver feedback is not game changing in any way. But actually, Jandermole is so powerful by itself, and such a different way to play, that you don't need the extra development rate. Functionally useless to me.Įx-driver: feedback +3, driver improvement increasedįor serious stacking of development bonuses, take this with Jandermole backing. It might be good at the start, but even saving 5% on the new factory that I'd build on Day 1, isn't enough to mean I can now build more parts or sign drivers better than I otherwise would.ĭo I miss it when I don't have it? No. And I know what refuelling rules and pit-lane speed limits I can exploit.ĭo people run out of money? This is bottom tier to me. I can use the rules to my advantage to move my team up the grid. I can make the rules what I want with Politico. I like voting in 100KwH batteries and hybrid mode, and refuelling, and semi-sequential pit stops (because the pit crews are easier to manage like that - you can have two crews of 6 people that swap every race), and low profile tyres, and 9 dry tyre compounds. The free rule proposals matters in early game too if you start with a create-your-own-team and want to level the playing field with spec engines.ĭo I miss it when I don't have it? Yes. After 10 or 15 seasons, you'll still be using the extra votes to push through new rules you want to try out, or block rule changes you don't want. Politico: 4 extra votes each season, free rule proposals ![]() The Santa Suite Experience is available from Decemto January 8, 2023, and includes: Santa Riverfront Studio Suite accommodations, hot chocolate, gingerbread house decorating kit, one complimentary in-room movie and a daily USD 50 breakfast credit toward in-room dining.

Twos help others at the expense of themselves. As I learn to let go and forgive, I experience the antidote to anger, serenity. When I acknowledge my anger, it becomes easier to move towards letting go of my high expectations towards others. Because I categorized anger as an emotion that only boys were allowed to feel, I have had to work hard in my adult life to identify my anger and express it in healthy ways. Boys were allowed to be tough, angry and fight with one another, but I never fought with another kid and I would cry if someone hurt my feelings. As a child I could feel scared or sad, but anger was an expression for the boys. ![]() I was taught as a young woman that good Southern girls aren’t allowed to be angry. I have to work hard to acknowledge my anger. Ones grow as they learn to be more patient with others and themselves. They are very ethical and want people to do things the “right way” and because no one meets their high standards, they often feel resentment towards others. They have high expectations of themselves and others. Let’s look at each of these nine shadow sides.īecause of their need for perfection, type ones on the Enneagram don’t always acknowledge their anger. These nine growing edges can separate us from God, life, our work, ourselves and one another. I know that I’ve wrestled with each of the nine deadly sins. Because all nine numbers live in us, you have likely battled with at least one of these deadly passions at some point in your life. The Enneagram says we have one primary number, but that all nine numbers live in us. I like to refer to them as the nine growing edges, because this implies that we can continue to soften our edges and move toward becoming the best version of ourselves. The deadly sins are sometimes referred to as the shadow side or deadly passions. The Enneagram utilizes the seven deadly sins from the church’s traditional list of seven deadly sins (pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth), and adds two more sins (deceit and fear). But each personality also has one particular Achilles heel, and once we become aware of this vice we are more able to move toward transformation and life. The Enneagram says there are nine personalities and each of these personalities has considerable strengths and weakness. If you prefer a free test check out this one: If you have never taken the Enneagram personality test, you might consider going to to take the $12 test. Like the Myers Briggs, the Enneagram is a personality typing system, but this personality system is unique because it not only helps us understand our persona, but also invites us to grow emotionally and spirituality. I am a big fan of the Enneagram as a pathway that helps us understand ourselves and one another. ![]() However, if all else fails, resetting the game could solve outstanding issues with the voice chat and ensure you can hear your fellow gamers. We don’t recommend this without trying all the above steps, as you could potentially lose data or progress on your game. Uninstall / Re-Install AppĪs a last resort, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling the app/game. If your antivirus was causing the issue, you could temporarily disable it each time you want to play Roblox, or find an alternative antivirus software that doesn’t conflict with voice chat. It may be worth disabling this while you’re playing Roblox, or at least testing this out to see if this is what is causing your issues with not hearing voice chat. Deactivate Antivirus if You Have itĪntivirus software could be running on your device, and this is notorious with conflicting with different apps/games. If you open your preferred browser and navigate to Help or Settings you can usually find out what browser version you’re using, and then navigate to update it to the latest version. Outdated browsers can cause all manner of issues not just related to sound, so it’s worth checking you’re running the latest version as developers regularly fix glitches/bugs associated with certain versions. If you’re using an internet browser to play Roblox, you want to double-check this is up to date. Some headphones have volume dials to adjust the sound so it’s worth adjusting these if you’re having issues with hearing your voice chat on Roblox. Try plugging your headphones into a different port if you have one, or check your headphones are working with a different device. So, your voice chat is enabled properly but you still can’t hear anyone – if you’re using headphones, this could be where the issue lies. We don’t recommend doing this if you’re under 13, but if you are 13 and the game settings think you’re younger, this could explain why your voice chat isn’t working correctly. This is where you can adjust the age settings and increase this to over age 13. To rectify this, visit Account Settings in Roblox and navigate to the Age Verification section. Players need to be over 13 years old to opt-in to using voice chat, so this could be where your issue lies if you’re having trouble hearing your friends on Roblox. Roblox does have stringent rules around age verification when playing, so it could be that your age is too young to be using the Chat with Voice feature. You can adjust these settings to make sure that you’re able to use Chat with Voice to its full capabilities. If you navigate to Settings within the game and select Audio Settings, there’s a section called Audio Output Mode. There are also audio settings that you can check in the game settings if you’re still having issues with hearing the voice chat. ![]() If you now go to play Roblox you should find you can hear the voice chat if a privacy issue was affecting this element of the game. Sometimes users find that if their privacy settings aren’t quite right it can restrict their ability to communicate with others on different games. If you’re playing on an Xbox, it’s worth double-checking your privacy settings. ![]() If you go to Settings on your phone, you can usually check specific settings per app and adapt the sound here. You can also double-check if the Roblox sound has been disabled within your phone settings by mistake. Make sure your phone isn’t on silent – sounds simple but we’ve all been there! Make sure the volume is adequate as this will carry across when you’re playing Roblox. Now that all is well with your Roblox settings, it’s worth checking your phone if you’re playing on a mobile device. You should now start hearing your friends speaking to you during gameplay if your volume was previously too low.
I know features for Mania Plus have probably been locked in for a while now, but even so you can definitely add my voice to those who'd like to see this feature - it'd be great to be able to watch any of the videos whenever you want from within the game (though presumably they'd have some sort of unlock criteria - e.g. ![]() Also, know a few people already mentioned that it'd be great if Mania Plus included a video gallery among the Extras menu, where you could unlock the opening/ending videos, the animated promo trailer and the Mania Adventures shorts. = )Īll in all, loving it so far - looking forward to the remaining four parts as we count down to the release of Mania Plus! Particularly like that Sonic's somewhat of a cheeky little sod at various points in this one - the classic portrayal in Generations went for 'cute' over everything else, and although that's definitely part of his whole vibe it's nice to see Mania Adventures remembering there are other aspects to his personality too, striking a good balance between the cute stuff and the "attitude" SEGA were always going on about back in the '90s. Nicely executed with a charming visual style and a simple, fun plot which showcases Sonic and Eggman's personalities well. Realised I hadn't posted on here about this - just want to chime in echoing some of the love for the first short. It's just what I learned to animate on and I can't afford a Harmony license right now. I still give plenty of notes on animation and redlines on drawings, but I don't touch their actual footage myself.Īs for why I prefer Flash, there's no real reason. Pre-production and production overlap, so it's my duty to do tight pre-pro and leave the animating to the studio. So in that instance the animators had to work around my needs because I touched literally every frame of it in one way or another.Īdventures is a bigger production so I actually just can't be a part of the animation for time reasons. Even the shots done primarily by other animators would need for me to open them up and put the drawings more on model. ![]() The reason we used Flash so heavily in the intro was because I was doing so much animation myself. The rough frame-by-frame animation is exported into video to be cleaned up (Flash for the Intro, TVPaint I believe for Adventures) and then the clean footage is exported into After Effects for compositing. Basically it doesn't matter what program they animate on, because we're just doing frame-by-frame traditional work, so there's no need for programs to communicate. Some animators use ToonBoom Harmony, some use TV paint, and some (and I) use Flash. Click to expand.The animation teams at Yotta (for the intro) and Neko (For Adventures) are all comprised of artist working remotely actually, so they have their choice of software. ![]() ![]() The sample images I’m using in this mini tracing tutorial were of tissue sectioned into 100um-thick slices, (mounted, and tagged) in which DNA was labelled with DAPI (405nm), and we had stained for the immediate early gene (IEG) zif268 (Alexa 647), and retrovirally GFP-labelled cells (Alexa 488). DETAILS ON THE SAMPLE NEURON IMAGES USED IN THIS TUTORIAL With a 2D view, this could just seem like a shorter branch, but looking at the 3D view, if the branch ends at the edge of the z plane, it’s possible that the branch is actually longer but was just included in a different section of tissue. For example, sometimes branches that are part of the neuron are cut off the slice. When tracing neurons imaged using a confocal, it helps to keep the z plane and the overall 3D shape in mind as it could interfere with some measurements like overall dendritic length. With this, the series of 2D photos can be combined, allowing for reconstruction and 3D visualization and analyses of the specimen in question. If the 2-dimensional slices are made of the x and y planes, the thickness that is available as a third-dimension is the z plane. A series of clear 2D images can then be taken across the z plane. ![]() Using fluorescent imaging technique (*) and an extra spatial filter, this confocal can selectively collect light at a specific z-plane, filtering out any out-of-focus illumination. The image files used in this tutorial were taken using a Leica confocal microscope (model SP8).
