1/2/2024 0 Comments French twist![]() ![]() Greasy hair causes your hair to “cling” to the strands around it producing a smooth, flat, tight twist. As it gets dirty during the day, the hair flattens leaving your hair smaller and causing your initially tight twist to loosen. I know, it’s a little gross, but clean hair has “body”, which is essentially air around the hair strand. I discovered two very simple keys to getting and keeping a tight, smooth French twist. But I could never get my French twists to stay! They would always loosen after a few hours if I could even get it smooth enough in the first place.įast forward 10 years to when I was cast as one of the principal dancers in Who Cares? and I was ecstatic, of course, but I also knew I had to figure out that French twist! So, I started playing around with it and wearing a French twist every day for class and rehearsal. The costumes were cute and elegant, the choreography was impressive and a little flirty, and all the women wore their hair in French twists.įrench twists themselves are so beautiful-the sweep of the hair, the elegance, no visible means of holding the hair in place, mysterious. The Gershwin music was fantastic, of course. I saw it for the first time when I was in high school, and I loved it. Who Cares? by George Balanchine is one of my favorite ballets. Today, Melody offered a couple of tricks for putting your hair into a French twist. We asked her to share some pro tips that she learned during her extensive career. Hopefully, beautiful ones.ĭon’t miss my new tutorials every Friday and check out galleries of all my past projects here.Our current School of Ballet 5:8 Featured Guest, Melody Staples Hammell, is a former principal dancer with Charleston Ballet Theater. Not to bring back the fashion trends of the seventies but to return to the things that made me happy. The smell of ironing out crisp cotton seams and the idea of curating my own wardrobe (consisting mainly of jumpsuits and bolero vests, mind you) made me happy. I wonder what Tim Gunn would say about that? That was my father’s strategy… bribe me into making my own clothes. He bargained that every Friday, after my mother had her broken hair fixed, she would stop by the fabric store to purchase my next Project Runway undertaking, only if I had the garment from the week before completed. It was my grandmother’s foot pedal Singer machine on which I practiced my craft, my mother’s hands from which I learned it, but it was my father’s savvy that truly fueled my creative itch. And one day my designs would make their way to a Paris runway on a beautiful model donning what else… but a french twist. And because I was fixin’ to be a world famous fashion designer, it was necessary to hone my skills intensely and passionately. When I was nine, my mother taught me to sew. And when we aren’t fixing something, we are fixin’ TO DO something. You see, Friday was the day she “went into town” to “get her hair fixed.” In the south, we fix everything, including our coiffures, it seems. I was mesmerized by this new look and anxiously awaited her return from the beauty parlor every Friday. Married to a Frenchman, it’s true that I’m a Francophile, but my love for this classic hair style began when my mother finally relinquished her beehive teasing for a more sophisticated Brigitte Bardot french twist. I want to regain that happiness, that feeling of pride when my artwork is placed on the refrigerator, even if I have to place it there myself. Caught up in the chaos of life, we tend to forget those things that made us happy as children, or we dismiss them as frivolous past-times. I also believe that tapping into this potential makes us HAPPY. Because I believe everyone is born with an innate desire to create. ![]()

1/2/2024 0 Comments Rage hypodermic crossbow![]() ![]() A pass-through double lung shot will quickly kill a deer 100% of the time and provide the most trackable blood with the largest margin of error. When it comes to arrows, everyone wants a pass-through shot, myself included. But each time the deer went down fast, humanely, with minimal suffering and was easily recovered. Sometimes the blood trails were excessive and other times they were average. The blood trails were always easy to follow when I didn’t watch the deer go down. Every deer where I was even close to a vital area was on the ground within seconds and didn’t go more than that one at 75 yards. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this. ![]() Far more blood than with any rifle kill I’ve had on a deer. The next buck I shot ran 75 yards or so but left such a large blood trail that I could not believe there was any blood left in the deer by the time I found it. The deer was not conscious for more than a few seconds. This shot was not as gruesome as the first, but it was impressively effective. I watched it run less than 50 yards and pile up right in front of me. The second deer I shot was a nice buck walking at 23 yards. I was immediately sold on these broadheads. The deer was unconscious within seconds, it dropped right to the ground and couldn’t get back up. The wound was so impressive, and deer bled out so much and so quickly that it was a little bit nauseating to me. The first shot I took with a Rage Hypodermic Crossbow Broadhead dropped the deer to the ground, in place, at 30 yards. The stories below illustrate that quite well. But if the hunter can do their part and place the shot in a good spot, these things are amazing. These hypodermic crossbow broadheads are no exception to that simple truth. Shot placement is everything to achieve a quick humane kill. And if you hit it in a bad location, it may or may not die, and you may or may not recover it. Do they live up to that hype though? Are they really that devastating on deer? My experience with archery hunting is that if you hit a deer in an ideal location, that deer is going to die. Rage boasts a lot of big colorful words to describe how impressively effective these crossbow broadheads are, along with the non-crossbow versions. If you are new to crossbow hunting, here is a podcast episode I did on How To Pick Your First Crossbow For Deer Hunting. High Energy SHOCK COLLAR™ o r No Collar Blade Lock.Do they achieve this goal? In short, yes. The goal of mechanical broadheads is to provide a larger cutting diameter than is feasible with fixed blade broadheads while being more aerodynamic and accurate. These broadheads are simple to work with, safe to handle, and thus far in my experience, 100% reliable. One some models the blades are held in place by a collar, other models have no collar, more on that later. But upon impact, the cutting blades expand outward to drastically increase the cutting diameter. The rage hypodermics are a mechanical broadhead, which means they fold up neatly for storage and shooting. This review is packed with information and insight that the cookie cutter reviews can’t provide. And I have bought every single broadhead with my own money. I have four sets of antlers that these broadheads have brought home for me, not to mention some does the Rage’s have put in my freezer as well. I’ve seen plenty of reviews where people talk hypothetically and scientifically about these broadheads, quoting all the marketing materials or synthesizing other online reviews and it’s obvious they have never touched let alone shot one of these broadheads. ![]() 1/2/2024 0 Comments Kodi subtitles addons![]() ![]() ViderPlayerAudio: fix setting of resample mode on stream change by in #23167.Prevent crash on saved search by in #23195.Avoid crash when create recommendation channels a… by in #23166.RetroPlayer: Fix memory exhaustion with zero-copy emulators by in #23142.Fix last opened group not always restored on Kodi startup.Fix reversed pts offset correction by in #23128.Python API: Add missing gameinfo to Player class by in #23095.Python API: Fix setting picture/game info via InfoTags by in #23094.Fix mkv subtitles without duration by in #23102.RendererShaders: Concurrency::event is broken on UWP/Xbox, remove parallelism by in #23014.Add extensions to libplatinum mimetypes by in #22997.Remove IsFullScreen complex condition by in #22980.Sonido multicanal en Android y Windows, sonido HD en tu casa.Evitar el efecto Judder, evita los saltos de imagen durante reproducción.Instalar Addons en KODI, quia paso a paso y trucos adicionales.Descarga instalador Kodi v20.2 Nexus para Windows 32 bit, dispositivos muy antiguos.Descarga instalador Kodi v20.2 Nexus para Windows 64 bit, recomendada para cualquier PC.Como instalar un APK en Android, desde USB o enviando APK desde tu móvil. ![]() Descarga apk para Kodi v20.2 Nexus para Android 64 bit ARM V8A solo SoC’s de NVidia, Realtek y algunos Rockchip.Descarga apk para Kodi v20.2 Nexus para Android 32 bit ARM V7A compatible en todos los TV-Box.NOTA DESCARGA: hay navegadores que bloquean la descarga de EXE y APK, utilizar botón derecho “ Guardar enlace como“, luego en el icono de descarga del navegador o pulsando CONTROL+J, activar Permitir descarga o Descargar en el menú. ![]() ![]() ![]() It went onto our kids' skin smoothly and absorbed quickly but it felt a little bit thicker than some of the other sun creams we tried. ![]() It was easy to use with a good-sized bottle that should get you through your summer holiday.

Keep a sharp eye out for rare and powerful Legendary weapons you'll need them. But I found these distractions to be merely that: distractions that were not compelling enough to pique interest for very long. There is also the unlockable Bottomless Pit arena, which sets you against endless waves of powerful enemies for a chance at rare loot. You can keep trudging ever onwards, of course, searching for even better loot or completing many of the in-stage challenges that offer a deluge of rewards. The lack of disparate classes discourages replayability, which causes the game to hit its plateau at around 15 hours. Though enjoyable, the customization does come with a caveat. Or I could go in the reverse direction, upping my movement speed and long-range attack damage, and equipping a shotgun to create an agile gunslinger. ![]() Equip a hammer with this build, and just like that, I had a makeshift paladin. But if I was in a party, I would equip the sanguine aura, which healed myself and nearby allies while keeping up my defense. If I was playing solo, I built a character with high defense, equipping cards that gave me the ability to absorb health, and an increased overdrive recharge rate. External factors often play a role in what “class” you choose to run. Swapping around all these elements on the fly is fast and easy, allowing you to exchange equipment and abilities to match each situation. You can equip a handful of these cards at a time, each one granting an attribute such as gaining health with every strike, increasing critical attack damage, or creating an icy explosion. Destiny cards are a special element of the customization. Using these abilities takes overdrive, which gets recharged by use of special outfits, each granting an armor rating and a new look. You can also equip up to two demon powers, which offer offensive or defensive skills, such as casting an aura that increases physical damage or calling down a pillar of scorching flame. Two weapons can be equipped at once, increasing the abilities at your disposal. For instance, the shotgun offers a spread or precision shot, while the war hammer sends you flying into the air only to come crashing down in a thunderous shock wave. Every weapon type, from sword to shotgun or scythe, comes matched with two slowly recharging special abilities. Instead, the character you create is a meld of outfits, weapons, demon powers, and destiny cards, all of which coalesce into a Victor of your own personal design. And, as this is Victor’s story, there are also no options to pick different characters of varying styles, backgrounds, or gender. But in its defense, Victor Vran does introduce some elements that, while not exactly breaking the mold, help it stand out at least somewhat from the pack.įor example, there are no traditional classes to speak of in Victor Vran. Indeed, in Victor’s boots you’ll find yourself traveling along the same well-trodden path of games like Diablo III and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing. The story isn’t anything special: a dark fantasy theme bolstered by archetypal enemies ready to be slaughtered by the hundreds. But these are garden variety beasts, not enough to surprise veteran action RPG fans. Demons prowl the streets skeletons burst out of the ground to attack with slashing blades gigantic spiders descend from cave ceilings on sinewy threads to lash out with dripping fangs and powerful vampires rip out your very life essence. ![]() At the beckoning of his friend and fellow hunter, Victor travels to Zagoravia, a gloomy city fallen into darkness. ![]() You are strapped into the worn, blood-caked boots of the eponymous Victor Vran, demon hunter by trade. Even though the loot-charged game has plenty of issues, the makings of something good are underneath its foibles.

What I mean is that the game doesn’t quite reach the heights of its roleplaying peers.
