![]() ![]() Blanche implies that Dorothy might be a little old to be able to handle it. Dorothy and her date soon walk in as well. We flash back to a bedazzled Blanche entering the dance marathon with her reluctant date. She reminds the other Girls of a dance marathon they left her out of, but the Girls remind her that there was money on the line, and they didn’t even tell each other about it. Meanwhile, the Girls finish off lunch back in the present, and as they’re about to split the last slice of pizza three ways, Sophia refuses to be left out and instead takes a bite herself, declares it “awful,” and throws it into the kitchen sink. Dorothy reveals her own truth: she wanted to save up to buy a TV for Sal and Sophia. Sophia doesn’t like this idea, and, at Sal’s insistence, reveals the truth: she’s been doing alterations to save up to buy Dorothy a TV as a gift. Dorothy is shocked by Sophia’s attitude, and says she’ll have to leave the kids with Stan’s mother instead. Young Dorothy-as-played-by-Lyn Greene drops by and asks Sophia for a favor, wondering if she can babysit the kids a couple of days a week while Dorothy picks up a part-time job so she can save up for a TV. We flash back to Sophia and Salvador’s place, where Sophia is sewing. This reminds Dorothy of another time Sophia wanted to buy a TV set, back in 1954. It’s a rip off, pure and simple! That’s why the French were the first to come up with it.”īack in the present, Sophia tells the Girls why she wants the money: to buy a TV for her bedroom. “ But that wasn’t a scheme, Sophia! That was a legitimate business.” As soon as Priscilla leaves, though, Dorothy gets on the phone to the police and reports the theft of her vase. Dorothy congratulates her anyway and hands her a crystal vase as a wedding gift. Unfortunately, the news isn’t all the Girls hoped for, as now, Priscilla plans to elope. “You know, sometimes when you really talk things out like that, you can solve anything.” Hoping for a reconciliation, the Girls put Priscilla on the phone. When the phone rings, it turns out to be the fiancé, apologizing for his infidelity. After all the work they’ve already done, the Girls have no intention of letting Priscilla get out of this so easily, so they try to calm her down. Their visitor is tomorrow’s bride, who tells the Girls that the wedding is off: she and her fiancé have had a fight. ![]() “Please!

And we didn’t have the modern conveniences you have today. We flash back to the Girls running a wedding consulting business and trying to get their catering all prepared for an upcoming wedding. ![]() While Dorothy tries to dissuade her, Sophia points out that the Girls have all had some zany schemes. When they tell her it tastes like good water, she tells them it’s fro the hose outside and she’s going to bottle and sell it. As the Girls sit in the kitchen, Sophia rushes in and asks them to try some water. ![]() I’ve been working on this since noon.”Īnother vignette episode hits us right at the beginning of this season, this one all about getting money. “ I know what you’re gonna say: another one of my get-rich-quick schemes. ![]()

![]() ![]() We’d go out for drinks and have fun, come back around midnight and work until 7 or 8 in the morning. What were your first impressions of the collaboration?īrendan Canning: It was just a very intimate experience because we were in Kevin’s basement and we would often work really late hours. VMP: This is the album where you and Kevin Drew were first getting to know each other. “Passport Radio,” off Feel Good Lost (2001) Read on for Canning’s takes on songs ranging from Feel Good Lost to Hug of Thunder. Founder and bassist Brendan Canning has been at the band’s core throughout and has given Vinyl Me, Please the stories behind five of the band’s most important tracks. The band’s family tree extends out like a labyrinth with limbs holding acts like Feist, Stars, Metric, Apostle of Hustle, Do Make Say Think, and so many more. Often affectionately dubbed as a “mothership,” Broken Social Scene is the home base for a countless number of Toronto musicians. And this month, the band is back with another offering: the first of two EPs out this year called Let’s Try The After Vol. Seven years later, the band released Hug of Thunder, cementing a five-album streak as solid as any of their peers. The LP found the collective for the first time, spending time away from Toronto, mostly tracking the effort in Chicago with Tortoise’s John McEntire. While it was a rough period for the band compared to their honeymoon genesis, it featured some of the most defining tracks of their catalog like “7/4 (Shoreline),” “Superconnected” and “Major Label Debut.”įollowing solo albums under the Broken Social Scene Presents moniker and several “last shows ever” as a touring apparatus, the band returned with the excellent 2010 Forgiveness Rock Record. ![]() After the rise, Broken Social Scene returned with their self-titled LP in 2005. It was Broken Social Scene’s breakthrough, not just highlighting the group’s transition from basement project to full-fledged music collective with an expanding and constantly evolving roster, but also winning Canada’s Juno Award for Alternative Album of the Year. While mostly instrumental, the LP foreshadowed the wildly collaborative spirit the band would embody with their masterwork, 2002’s You Forgot It In People. The experimental and lovely album featured their friends, like singer Leslie Feist, drummer Justin Speroff, and multi-instrumentalist Charles Spearin, who mixed the effort. Formed by Kevin Drew and Brendan Canning in 1999, the two wrote and recorded the band’s post-rock inspired debut in Drew’s basement. This year marks the 20th anniversary of Broken Social Scene, the pioneering Toronto collective responsible for the most influential indie rock albums of the last couple decades. ![]() ![]() ![]() Furthermore while casting them, you are completely vulnerable and can be interrupted by any sort of attack. When in combat, master-level spells are tricky to use because of the time required to cast them. Other than the Alteration spell Dragonhide and the Restoration spell Guardian Circle, master-level spells do not benefit from dual casting perks. They may be interrupted by stagger attack.Master-level spells are different from lower-level spells: Those may be carried by several spellcasters too: With the Dawnguard add-on installed, tomes can also be purchased from Morven Stroud.Īdditionally several chests may contain low level tomes dependent on character level. With the Merchant perk unlocked, there is a small chance that tomes are sold by blacksmiths. Those random loot tomes may be found in boss chests and safes. The appearance of random tomes is dependent upon your character's overall level (but is not related to your skill in the magic school, unlike tome purchases): The only spell tomes that can not be found randomly are quest-specific spell tomes (those that can not be purchased), tomes added by Dawnguard or Dragonborn, and master-level tomes. Nearly all spell tomes can also be found randomly as loot. Master-level spell tomes can only be acquired once that school's ritual spell quest has been completed. After reaching the required skill level, you must wait for the mage's merchandise to be reset (typically two days in-game), or, save, then attack the merchant and reload, before the new tomes will appear. Also, adept- and expert-level spell tomes only appear in the mage's merchandise when your magic skill is high enough (40 for Adept and 65 for Expert spells). Higher-level spell tomes are more difficult to find: Each court wizard only stocks the adept-level spells for one school ( Farengar, Madena and Wuunferth for Destruction, Falion and Calcelmo for Conjuration, Sybille Stentor for Illusion and Wylandriah for Alteration) and the expert-level spells can only be purchased from the specialist mages in the College of Winterhold. Novice- and apprentice-level spell tomes can be purchased from the court wizards found in each of Skyrim's cities. ![]() Most spell tomes can be purchased from merchants. Most spells (other than starting spells) are learned by reading Spell Tomes. Dozens of spells are available for magically-inclined characters in Skyrim. ![]() ![]() The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends putting babies to sleep flat on their backs for the best breathing support.

This is controlled by a second targeting setting above the original targeting setting.

![]() In this, at least, Paper Tanks differs from some tower defense games as you must plan for air units taking an alternate route to ground based enemies. Your foes range from the titular tanks to planes and zeppelins which cruise over the level on their own, separate route. ![]() In terms of gameplay Paper Tanks doesn’t stray too far from this formula, adding only a few twists of its own. Finite funding limits your ability to place and upgrade towers and you can increase your money buy making kills. To facilitate this objective you have access to a selection of defensive towers that can be placed at specific points across the level. A convoy of enemies will meander along this track with the aim of reaching a goal at the other side and it is your job to ensure that this does not happen. Paper Tanks is a classic example of tower defense the player is presented with a level featuring a set track going from one side to the other (generally winding along the way). It’s into this arena that DQ Team have stepped with their quaintly themed War in a Box: Paper Tanks. Interestingly, however, the genre has morphed and changed in many ways since its beginnings and we’ve seen everything from third and first-person action tower defense to tower assault games. So when I saw the early tower defense games I just saw a more organised form of something I’d been doing for years. In my younger days I’d spend countless hours in Command and Conquer or Age of Empires just building impenetrable fortresses and watching the helpless AI throw wave after wave of troops at my ever growing wall of turrets. The tower defense genre always struck me as a strange offspring of the real-time strategy. Manage the turrets, upgrade and be careful where you put them…every decision can be fatal! Watch out for the air units, they have a different route! Amazing gameplay with incredible number of levels. Build your towers of paper before they get out of the box and make a big mess in the room. Also you can enter a turret and watch how it shoots and destroys the enemy units: armored cars, tanks, airplanes and zeppelins.Finally the war of paper tanks comes into your room!

For the sake of brevity, we will focus only on the regular installer from now on, but you should know that we tested the extended one the same way. Once we knew both the regular and the extended Disk Drill installer is safe, we used them to install Disk Drill in two different clean virtual environments running Windows 11. This took some time, but it served as a useful confirmation of the original results. To go a step further, we then decided to reanalyze both installers manually by clicking the “Reanalyze file” button. The results were conclusive: No security vendors and no sandboxes out of 58 flagged the file as malicious.īut what about the extended installer? Its analysis yielded the same perfect score, except that VirusTotal scanned it with even more scanners (61 instead of 58). We uploaded the regular Disk Drill installer, and VirusTotal immediately got to work. ![]() As always, our malware scanner of choice was VirusTotal (owned by Chronicle, a subsidiary of Google), a highly reputable aggregator of multiple malware scanners developed by some of the most reputable security companies in the world. Since most users will use the regular installer, we decided to scan it first. Step 2: Scanning the Disk Drill Installer At over 100 MB, the extended installer is much larger, but it comes with all the software nuts and bolts needed to get Disk Drill 5 up and running on Windows, including Microsoft’s NET Desktop Runtime. The regular installer is just around 20 MB large, and it contains only the main application files. Version 5.1.808 started downloading automatically, and we were also presented with two direct download links, one for the regular installer (the one that downloads automatically) and the other one for the extended installer (which we also downloaded). ![]() So, we headed to and visited the downloaded page. Sites that offer (or claim to offer) illegal unlocked versions of Disk Drill are especially dangerous because such sites are often riddled with malware. You can always download the up-to-date version of Disk Drill directly from the official website of its developer, CleverFiles (a subsidiary of 508 Software).ĭownloading the software elsewhere is a bad idea at best because not all third-party software download sites are legitimate.

Also, images that are of the same width tend to look best as well, since it creates an even amount of white space between them. Meaning, if you picked 6 columns, anything that is a multiple of 6 (12, 24, 36, 600, etc) will tend to look the best, so that each column and row is even. Generally speaking, numbers that are consistent multiples of the columns chosen during the creation of the service look best. Open the file in Preview to see how the generated sheet looks, it will have followed the guidelines chosen during your initial setup so if you’re not happy with it make some changes to the Service and just save it again, then generate a new sheet PDF. For this reason, it can be a good idea to scale down images before creating a contact sheet from particularly humungous files, but if you find yourself having to perform a ton of image resizing you can also create a simple ‘Batch Resize’ Service with Automator, or just do a manual bulk resizing process on a group of pictures using Preview app, which also comes with every version of Mac OS X. If you used a folder of 500 high resolution images, it will take a couple minutes usually, versus generating the sheet from a collection of 50 lower resolution pictures, which takes only a few seconds. The file generation is usually extremely fast, though how long it takes is going to partially depend on how fast your Mac is, and of course how many pictures you chose for the sheet.

Now let’s go ahead and make a new contact sheet almost instantly from the OS X Finder.

When satisfied with the customizations, go to File then “Save” and give the automator service a name like “Make Contact Sheet”.Set the Contact Sheet customizations under “New PDF Contact Sheet”, including where to default to saving the file to (~/Desktop is standard), the Paper size, and how many columns will be shown.At the top, look for “Service receives selected:” and choose ‘image files’. ![]()
