1/30/2024 0 Comments Myst puzzles![]() Maybe people will just come to appreciate the original again. I hope that Myst will have a resurgence some day. But it focuses on a lot of the things that can still make modern games popular: exploration, a strong narrative, and creative world-building. You could argue that it’s a slow, obtuse game. I wonder why Myst doesn’t resonate like it once did. And we do see Myst inspire some indie games, like 2016’s The Witness, even if Myst isn’t the indie inspiration machine like other classics, like Mega Man and Super Metroid, have become. It’s another Myst-inspired game, and it was funded on Kickstarter earlier this year. Maybe Cyan’s next game, Firmament, will make bigger waves. But, man, Obduction wasn’t a very big deal, was it? At least I never heard very many people talk about it, which seems like a weird fate for a spiritual successor to one of the most influential games of all time created by the original studio. And that’s great! I’m glad that the spirit of Myst lives on. In 2016, it released Obduction, a spiritual successor to Myst. Cyan is the original developer behind the series. All the franchise has seen since is a few mobile ports.Ĭyan, however, is trying to keep the spirit of Myst alive even if it’s working outside of the franchise. Even that came out back in 2014 (depressingly, that’s 6 years ago). The closest we’ve gotten to a new game came via RealMyst: Masterpiece Edition, a remake of the original done with the Unity engine. Gone missing?īut Myst has been dormant for years. Heck, even The Sims - the franchise that dethroned Myst - is still around. We still get new Mario and Zelda games, and the originals remain popular. Most of the “biggest” games of all time seem to live on forever. Since then, it feels like we all don’t talk about Myst much any more. The last one, Myst V: End of Ages, came out in 2005. Disney even came close to creating a real-world Myst Island inside of Walt Disney World (which may be a story that we should get into another time). It sold millions of copies, and it was the best-selling PC game ever until The Sims came out in 2002. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Alter ego band ncAnd although he sometimes goes back in time and spins tracks from the era when "Wipeout" was in regular rotation on MTV, more often Markie Dee is introducing tracks by Ne-Yo, Nelly, and Dem Franchise Boyz. ![]() These days Markie Dee is better known as the prince of 103.5 The Beat, jamming the airwaves from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Tracks by Shabba Ranks, Destiny's Child, Mariah Carey, and Mary J. In the Nineties, Markie Dee took off the goofy glasses and racked up some major music-producing credits. Aficionados of the old school will recognize him as an original member of the Fat Boys, one of the first groups to inject self-deprecating humor into hip-hop. Mark "Prince Markie Dee" Morales has serious street cred. ![]() He concluded his diatribe against Miami's only daily with the following excerpt: "Despite all its Pulitzer Prize-winning glory, the Herald today seems more reminiscent of a cheap supermarket tabloid lacking the vision and the wherewithal to mature alongside the rest of Miami." We suggest that Miami's only daily hire Arriola, whose mouth is more than big enough to fill the void left by the now dearly departed columnist who once worked at New Times. "How this business deal was spun into the city cavorting with and giving land to communists is an interesting story - it's what happens when cheap McCarthyism, lazy reporting, and brainless editorial decisions intermingle," Arriola wrote. In the January 2006 edition of Miami Monthly magazine, Arriola showed off his screed-writing ability in a column lambasting the Miami Herald's coverage of Hong Kong-based Shangri-La Hotels and Resorts' plan to open a five-star hotel on Watson Island. On June 1, when Joe Arriola surrenders the illustrious job of Miami city manager, we recommend he try his hand as a media critic. If documentary can help change the world, it's good to have these two workhorses shepherding the way. Cofounder Juan Carlos Zaldvar is a New York University-trained director and video installation artist whose work has appeared in galleries and on PBS and the Independent Film Channel. Cofounder Rhonda Mitrani, who worked in postproduction for Miramax, is also a director whose film Cuba Mia aired on PBS plus she's a busy video artist and a screenwriter. In other years, festival themes have tackled identity and diversity, politics and unsung heroes. This year it was "The State of Our Water." The acclaimed PBS Point of View film Thirst and other films such as Bottle This! and The Miami River told stories about the privatization, pollution, and politics floating around the water issue. Unlike the better-known Full Frame Festival in Durham, North Carolina, The Florida Room handpicks its films along a theme. This winter festival concentrates on socially conscious documentaries, the kind of fare that often otherwise goes unseen in the local community. It's way better than another cookie-cutter condo. Despite the troubles and costs, residents and art lovers are happy to have it back. In order to highlight the exquisite façade, the entrance was shifted to face Lincoln Road, and the lobby was redone, including restoration of murals. ![]() The renovations were extensive: The floor was restored and a new three-story wing was added to the backstage area. Instead of $1.5 million and one year, the project stumbled over obstacles that set the final price tag around $6.5 million and pushed back the opening date three years. Unfortunately, as often happens with government contracts, the renovation went way over budget and schedule. But it fell into disrepair again until a new fixup was approved in 2002. After renovations in the Seventies, the 465-seat theater became a focal point for performing arts groups as well as films. It was built for the Paramount chain at the quiet end of Lincoln Road, which probably saved it from the wrecking ball. The small 1934 Art Deco structure is demure by Beach standards. ![]() Demolition-by-neglect appears to be a favorite tactic of property owners, so when the City of Miami Beach promised to renovate the Colony Theater, interested residents and artists emitted a collective sigh of relief. For a town that prides itself on its architecture, Miami Beach often seems to have lost its way in historic preservation. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Victory day in russiaAlthough pressed severely, Ukrainian forces in Bakhmut, Marinka, Avdiivka and Vuhledar are still, to varying degrees, holding on. There, the only more or less significant town the invaders managed to take was tiny Soledar. Putin’s biggest problem is that hardly anyone, apart from his suppressed, docile population, is scared of him anymore.Ī year and two months into its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the Russian military is squarely on the defensive.Īfter setbacks last fall that saw it lose swathes of captured territory in the Kharkiv region in the north and the Kherson region in the south of Ukraine, it spent the winter digging in along the 1,000km frontline, with offensive action limited to an unsuccessful missile strike campaign to ruin Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and head-on attacks on Ukrainian fortifications in the eastern Donbas region. Yet Russia has rarely been as far removed from any kind of victory as it is today. This year, Moscow again celebrated it with a full-scale military parade in Red Square and a Putin speech in front of the troops - still on, despite what the Russian authorities called a narrowly thwarted Ukrainian drone attack on Putin’s Kremlin residence last week (Ukraine denies involvement). BERLIN: Victory Day on Tuesday (May 9), commemorating the Soviet Union’s triumph over Nazi Germany in 1945, is still the biggest official holiday in Vladimir Putin’s Russia and the cornerstone of its ideology.

Adolf Hitler sent more than 3 million troops into the nation as part of Operation Barbarossa.Īlthough Operation Barbarossa ultimately failed, Nazi Germany repeatedly launched failed offensives against the Soviet Union. Nazi Germany invaded the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941, in one of the largest modern military operations in the world. Some fear Russia could hasten for a notable victory to capitalize on the holiday, especially with Russian President Vladimir Putin preparing for a new offensive in the eastern region of Ukraine.Įxperts have warned that Putin could blitz for a victory in the east ahead of the May 9 holiday to distract from the heavy losses of Russian troops and equipment in Ukraine. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Novabench review![]() That explains why the Inspi(opens in new tab), which, in theory is a consumer-focused laptop, is sold with Windows 10 Pro. In Dell’s world, business and consumer markets do overlap. It is worth investing in the “4 Year ProSupport Plus with Next Business Day Onsite Service” option which costs $200 extra and includes accidental damage. This laptop comes with one year hardware service with onsite service after remote diagnosis. Dell says that a new lid-open sensor will turn on your laptop, even when completely off, complementing the power saving features of Windows 10 (opens in new tab). What is a shame though is that it is not obvious. The fingerprint reader is located in the power button which is actually a very good idea that we’d like to see more elsewhere. The other bundled software worth mentioning is a 12-month subscription to McAfee Small Business Security (opens in new tab) which can be upgraded to a 3-year one for $70. What’s incredible is that this feature is NOT available on the more expensive Latitude laptops.

Of the bundled software, Dell Mobile Connect seems to be the most useful as it allows you to pair your iOS or Android smartphone with your laptop.

On the other hand, Dell claims that you will be able to charge the battery from dead to 80% in one hour thanks to its ExpressCharge technology.

This includes any area less than 3 feet of your house under your driveway or other paved surfaces typically underneath patios but we have seen a few under decks or other built structures the area adjacent to your well and areas containing trees or that are heavily planted with woody shrubs. The first thing you need to do is to rule out areas where the tank is not likely to be. …But with a little persistence and sleuth work you should be able to find your tank. As time goes by and vegetation grows, it can become difficult to discern the visual markers that originally indicated where the septic tank is located. This may be difficult to see at first with heavy snowfalls but as the temperature starts to warm up most of the time the snow clears much quicker around the septic tank area.Ī septic tank will typically be installed in such a way so that its presence is relatively inconspicuous rather than glaringly obvious. In the winter months often there is snowmelt around the septic tank area. You can obtain one of these handy gadgets from a rental or plumbing store, tank cleaning company or Authorized Person. Where the signal is strongest is most likely where your septic tank is located. Or you could go the hi-tech route and flush an electronic transmitter down the loo, which will send out a signal that can be tracked with a receiver. Now that you have an idea of how far the snake travelled, together with its approximate route, you can scout around in the vicinity of where you expect the tank to be buried. Make a note of how far the snake was extended, together with the direction and angle of any bends, as you pull it back through the pipe. When it comes to a halt, it has probably reached the septic tank. Insert the snake into an inspection/rodding eye and thread it through the sewer line, taking note of any turns as it snakes its way through the pipe. When the probe strikes a flat concrete, polyethene or fibreglass surface you will know you have located your target and have found what you are looking for.Īlternatively, you can use a drain snake that is normally used to unclog a blocked drain or toilet to help you locate your tank. Septic tanks are usually located within 10 to 25 feet away from the home, and no closer than about 3 feet depending on where you are from. Using a thin metal stake as a probe, follow the pipeline, probing the soil every 2 feet or so. Make a note of where the pipe exits the wall, then go outside to the area where the pipe exits into the yard. This station will then pump the home’s sewage up close to grade and then to the septic tank. If you have a finished basement in your home this can often mean that the septic tank would have to go quite deep in the ground, to prevent these great depths of septic tanks a sump pump or sump station is often used. The easiest way to find your septic tank is to follow the pipes that come out of your home and extend into your yard.įirst, you will need to find the main sewer outlet pipe, a 4-inch diameter pipe which will most likely be found in your basement or in the crawl space under your home. You can keep your newly created map on file to give to the next homeowner should you wish to sell your property in the future, but first, you have to have some fun searching for your septic tank. ![]() If you are unable to find a map or diagram pinpointing the location of your septic tank, it may be worthwhile to create your own. If you have purchased an older home, the information available may be sketchy at best, or there may not be any records available on file at all. If not, it may be available from your local health department, who typically keep septic system records on file, or alternatively, your municipality may have a property survey map that might indicate the location of your septic tank. If you have recently purchased the property, the septic tank map/diagram should be included with the house plans and inspection paperwork. This is the easiest way to find your septic tank, as it will indicate exactly where the tank and drain field is located on the property. Here are a few simple and practical methods you can use to help locate your septic tank: 1. While it may sometimes be tricky to locate your septic tank, since its whereabouts is not meant to be a big secret, there are going to be ways and means for you find out where exactly it is located.
