![]() After running off with the little pup, Tom realizes his mistake. Jerry quietly moves Tyke's tail into Tom's grip, so that Tom ends up grabbing Tyke. Hiding behind Tyke's dog house, he reaches out for Jerry. Tom smiles innocently again, and uses Spike's teeth as castanets while doing a Flamenco dance (while clicking to the tune of "The Mexican Hat Dance") out of the scene and runs away, dropping the teeth on the bucket.Ī few moments later, Tom spies Jerry sleeping next to Tyke, now using the dogs as shields. Spike wakes up as Tom struggles to get his hand out of his mouth, pulling Spike's teeth out in the process. Tom yells in pain and leaps a meter back. Seeing the dog smack his lips as if having eaten the mouse, Tom then places his hand carefully in Spike's mouth while the dog is sleeping, and Jerry emerges from his hiding place and slams the bulldog's jaws shut with Tom's hand still inside Spike's mouth. Jerry takes cover by diving into what appears to be Spike's jaw, but he really ducked under the dog's chin. Jerry emerges from Tyke's ear and walks off casually until Tom comes running back. ![]() ![]() If I catch you bothering my boy again, I'll tear you apart! Now beat it!" Spike then releases him and Tom flees, crashing into (in turn) a tree, a birdbath, a clothesline hanger and then into a trash can. Tom smiles nervously and attempts to escape, but Spike grabs Tom's whiskers before he can and gives him an ultimatum: " Listen pussycat. Tom holds up his right hand and sees nothing, then holds up his left hand, and drops Tyke in fear. Spike yells out " Hey, you! That's my boy you got in your hand!" To find Jerry, Tom picks Tyke up to look underneath the puppy. Tom runs through a door (literally) and into some spades, rakes and hoes, as Jerry hides among the two dogs. No sooner has Tyke dozed off again than Tom and Jerry enter the scene. Then Spike gives his son milk and comforts him back to sleep again. Spike is sleeping beside his son Tyke when Tyke suddenly wakes up after a nightmare.

![]() If you're looking to get information about generally improving your color and your workflow, it is worth time doing. Below this is a second film called Get Great Color in blurb books, and this is what I would call a general film. You can watch this, and it will remind you how to do this. But even if you're on a Mac or a PC, it doesn't matter. Now in a second, I'm gonna walk you through how you do that on the Mac. The 1st 1 is literally 45 seconds, and it's about installing the blurred profile. It's not super complicated, and I want to also bring your attention here on the right next to the I C C profile, you're going to see two short films. So when you hit the soft proof, you'll actually see how the images air changing and you can make adjustments to them before you go to print. What that allows you to do is actually soft proof your images in the software before you go to print. Those images, whether it was S RGB or adobe RGB, you can convert those images in the color to the blurb color profile, and you do that by downloading on this icy sea button right here. And as I scrolled down here, you'll see the downloadable, icy sea profile right here, and what the profile does is allow you to convert your images and photo shop from whatever color space you created. Write software these air what you're going to do to all of your images so you can find the Blur by Sisi Profile on the blurb website and it's under the Color Management Resource Center. These are things that you're going to do again long before you get to the book. And this is again a relatively simple process of a lot of times. The second part of the process is converting your images to the blur of I C. So think about you've got a calibrate your monitor first. And again, the odds of getting a good print are very, very low. You're not exactly sure what you're going to see. If you don't do it, it's like flying blind. This is basically the starting point for me when it comes to getting good color. There's a lot of companies who make devices, spiders, color spiders that will attach to your monitor and within literally a 5 to 10 minute process of this spider running, you're gonna have a calibrated monitor. So the first step is to calibr.Īte that monitor. So the odds of that printing exactly like what you want are very rare. If you're not calibrating your monitor, then you don't know exactly what you're looking at on your monitor. And I'm always amazed by that because I'll just put it this way. So a lot of times when I teach workshops around the world, I'll ask people in the audience who in here calibrates their monitor and surprisingly very few hands will actually creep up. If you want your books to print correctly, There's two things to primary things that I'm going to focus on today. ![]() It is not a super complex process, but it's something that you have to keep in mind. I think a lot of times people think color management is far more complicated than it actually is. Color management is one of those things that is mysterious to a lot of people. Okay, so let's talk about what you're going to do before you get to the software, and this is going to start with color management. The Damage Range on the Lesser Soul Shards is local to your Weapon, meaning it is directly applied to your Weapon DPS and is affected by the Damage % affix on Weapons. Even better, the range on those affixes is slightly higher than the normal ranges! This is a good thing as it makes sure your build is not in trouble using a Soul Shard because it desperately needs Cooldown Reduction from a Flawless Royal Diamond socketed into your Helmet for instance. If you have it equipped in your own Weapon and your follower has a Poison Damage Range on its Weapon, then your follower attacks can proc the stacks for you! Moreover, there is one Soul Shard special power that kind of works on followers, the Essence of Anguish stacking effect granting you up to 25% Cooldown Reduction, 25% Movement Speed and 50% extra damage taken at 10 stacks. While this is not gamebreaking, it helps them to proc special item effects such as Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker more efficiently. Eventually you can also use the +15-20% Melee/Ranged Damage Reduction for follower setups not using the Immortality Token (for T16 content or simply builds using Enforcer) to help them survive.Īdditionally, you can get a Lesser Soul Shard with +12-15% Attack Speed for their Weapon. ![]() This means you can use a Prime Soul Shard in your follower Helmet to get the +946-1125 to any Main Stat in order to have an easier time reaching their 25,000 Main Stat cap scaling their skills. While Soul Shards Rank 0 and Rank 3 special powers do not work on Followers, the normal offensive and defensive stats accessible with Rank 1 and Rank 2 upgrades are working just fine. Each Soul Shard can be upgraded 3 times using a new seasonal-exclusive consumable, the Hellforge Ember. One of the 3 Prime Evil Soul Shards can be socketed into Helms while one of the 4 Lesser Evil Soul Shards can be socketed into Weapons. There are 7 unique Soul Shards, based on the Lords of Hell, which give players demonic new powers. Power can be alluring, and the road to the Burning Hells is paved with good intentions. Cunning Nephalem who find and wield these Soul Stones must exercise caution. These Soul Shards hold immense power-power that once belonged to the Prime and Lesser Evils. Though the Black Soulstone has been destroyed, lingering fragments of The Lords of Hell once contained therein still persist in Sanctuary. This article will cover everything there is to know about Soul Shards, from a global presentation to a detailed explanation of their specificities. ![]() In Season 25, Soul Shards are a new type of gem that can be socketed into Helmets and Weapons which grant incredibly powerful effects. With the upcoming 25th Anniversary of the Diablo Franchise, Diablo III is allowing players to fully embrace evil by infusing themselves with the essences of the Lords of Hell, iconic figures of the franchise. ![]() When Robert was eight, his family homesteaded a large ranch outside of Circleville, Utah. Robert, the oldest child in a large family, grew up playing harmonica on “home evenings” when the family would read the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints doctrine and play games. His loving parents, Ann Gillies and Maximillian Parker, were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. According to Richard Patterson, author of Butch Cassidy: A Biography, Cassidy was born Robert LeRoy Parker on April 13, 1866, in Beaver, Utah Territory. Butch Cassidy grew up in a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints family in Utahįew criminals have reaped as much goodwill – in life and death – as Cassidy. ![]() Many – including members of Cassidy’s family – believe that the real-life Butch Cassidy, the jovial, charismatic leader of the Wild Bunch, lived for decades after the legendary South American shoot-out. But the film’s ambiguous ending points to a murkier truth. In the 1969 movie Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the two outlaws, played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford respectively, appear to go out in a blaze of glory during a gun battle in Bolivia in 1908.

Knight began her set with the little-known Gladys Knight & the Pips song ‘Make Yours a Happy Home’, before blitzing through some of her many hits with the Pips: ‘The Nitty Gritty’, ‘Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me’, ‘Baby, Don’t Change Your Mind’, ‘Part Time Love’, ‘Come Back and Finish What You Started’, ‘I Heard It Through the Grapevine’ (the biggest Motown hit until Marvin Gaye‘s version took that spot), ‘Neither One of Us (Wants to be the First to Say Goodbye’, ‘The Way We Were’, ‘Love Overboard’ – and, of course, ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’, which she saved until last (save the best for last, right?). Warwick makes relaxed music that you appreciate aurally, so that was not surprising, but Knight’s music is a mix – much of it is sit-down music, whilst some of it is groovy, yet most of the audience stayed sat for the full duration of the show. Like Warwick’s concert, everybody stayed sat for Knight’s. He has a lovely voice, though crooning is difficult – you’re always going to be compared to the greats (and Michael Bublé, of course). Knight’s opening act was Mark Kingswood, a friendly crooner who took the audience back in time. She has aged like fine wine, and her voice, too, has gotten better with age – becoming richer over time. The woman is as fit as a fiddle! It is hard to believe that she is 78 – she looks, and sounds, so much younger. Knight, meanwhile, was last in the UK a mere few years ago, and whilst I presumed this tour would be her farewell – like Ross, she’s 78 – I have changed my mind since seeing her. Ross has not said as such, but it is her first UK tour in 15 years, and she’s going hard – she closed the Jubilee celebrations, and she’s got the Legend’s slot at Glastonbury – she’s going out with a bang, isn’t she? Warwick is being very candid about her tour being her last – it’s billed as S he’s Back: One Last Time. Her most recent achievements include a grammy for a duet with Ray Charles "Heaven Help us All" from his last album "Ray Charles", and another Grammy for her album with the All Saints choir.I have been anticipating June 2022 for a long time – in the space of a fortnight, I got to see Dionne Warwick, Diana Ross, and Gladys Knight – three African-American female icons! Gladys' most recent albums are "At Last" and "Before Me" which are doing very well. Tragedy struck in 1999, when her eldest son, Jimmy, Jr., died in his sleep at the age of 36. Her fourth solo LP, Just for You, went gold and was nominated for the 1995 Grammy Award for Best R&B Album. It rose to #1 on the R&B album chart and featured the #2 R&B hit "Men". Gladys Knight's third solo LP, Good Woman, was released in 1991. In 1985, she co-starred on the CBS sitcom Charlie and Co. Futhering her popularity, Gladys made guest-starring television appearances throughout the eighties and nineties with roles on Benson, The Jeffersons, A Different World, Living Single, The Jamie Foxx Show and New York Undercover. In 1989, Gladys recorded the title track for the James Bond movie Licence to Kill, a top 10 hit both in the UK and Germany. Gladys joined with Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, and Elton John on the 1986 AIDS benefit single, "That's What Friends Are For" which won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal. Gladys Knight & the Pips were later inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996. After a successful 1988 tour, the Pips retired and Gladys Knight began a career as a solo artist. By the end of the decade, the act had begun to tour, and had replaced Brenda Knight and Eleanor Guest with cousins Edward Patten and Langston George. The following year, she, her brother Merald, sister Brenda, and cousins William and Eleanor Guest formed a musical group called The Pips. ![]() At the age of 7, after months of competition, due to her powerful singing voice, Gladys won the finals on the very popular Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour TV show contest. Gladys Knight was born to Merald Woodlow Knight and Sarah Elizabeth Woods in 1952. ![]() You can pick a day and time window based on availability, and, if all works well, Sleep Number’s “Comfort Service Home Delivery service team” stops by with your mattress, configures the air pumps and app, and shows you how everything works. The removal fee does not apply if you're a California, Connecticut or Rhode Island resident. ![]() There is an additional $49 disposal fee if you choose to have Sleep Number remove your current mattress. Sleep Number mattresses can be delivered in-person and set-up in your home for $249. The Classic (c) line has the least cushion the Innovation (i) line has the most and the Performance (p) line falls somewhere in between. The Sleep Number mattresses are, with the exception of the Cooling Memory Foam (m7) bed, cushiony but not particularly contouring or extraordinarily plush. A majority of mattresses incorporate polyfoam, and the Sleep Number foam feels like the non-sinky kind used in the Tuft & Needle, a mattress we tested for our foam mattress guide. We’re disappointed that Sleep Number doesn’t divulge the type or density of foam it uses, calling it only a “proprietary foam.” (If customers are spending thousands of dollars on your product, we think you should tell them exactly what they’re getting.) But with the exception of the memory foam in the Cooling Memory Foam ( m7) bed-which makes memory foam its selling point-we think the foam in Sleep Number mattresses is probably some sort of non-memory-foam polyurethane foam (also known as polyfoam). And the thicker the foam portion on top, the more expensive the mattress. There’s also a layer of foam cushion that surrounds the air chamber. ![]() Consideration for Financial Aid and Housingįinancial Aid: Wait list status impacts various sources of financial aid differently. At that time, you will be asked to submit an enrollment deposit to reserve your place in the class. If you are accepted, you will receive an acceptance letter from Providence College and a packet that includes important information that should answer many of your initial questions. Should the Committee on Admission make acceptances from the wait list, they will be mailed as part of an ongoing review and notification cycle. Please be sure that the Office of Admission has a valid email address that you check on a regular basis. Please note that email messages are sent to students on the wait list to provide updates. Although this is particularly frustrating for students and their families who may be awaiting a definitive reply to their wait list status much sooner, the process cannot be avoided. Please note that it is not unusual for the wait list to be extended into June as we finalize enrollment for the incoming class. If you have not heard from us sooner, you will receive an update on the status of the wait list by mid-May. Candidates are encouraged to call to speak with a member of the counseling staff regarding any aspect of the wait list process. Please note that we are not able to accommodate interviews. Wait list candidates and their families often inquire about scheduling a personal interview or campus visit to further discuss their candidacy or their interest in the College. Given the limited space in it, a separate wait list is kept for students who have applied to the Nursing major. Since the use of the wait list varies from year to year, we are unable to predict how many students will be selected each year. ![]() By undertaking another thorough review of the academic credentials and personal qualifications of wait list candidates, the Committee will then be able to select the most qualified students to fill the appropriate number of vacancies in the incoming class. Once we have determined that we will activate the wait list, the Committee on Admission will reevaluate those applicants who have submitted the Wait List Response Form and indicated their desire to remain on the list. It is important to note that the wait list is not numbered or ranked. Selection Criteria for Admission from the Wait List We also encourage an update on your third-quarter or second-trimester grades, if available. You are also encouraged to note the depth of your interest in attending Providence College. Please feel free to include any new activities, honors, or achievements that may not have been listed on your original application. Students who are placed on the wait list may wish to submit additional information to supplement the final review of their application for admission. After May 1, we will determine if we have met our enrollment goals for the incoming class at Providence College, or if we will be offering additional offers of admission to students on our wait list. The number of students who remain on our wait list varies from year to year, but we ask that you complete the Wait List Response Form by April 15. If you do not wish to remain on our wait list, your consideration in notifying us will facilitate the review of other candidates for admission. ![]() Students who submit the form will be reviewed for possible acceptance from the wait list, should vacancies become available. It is important that you complete the Wait List Response Form on the Admission Status Portal if you wish to remain on the wait list for admission to Providence College. Therefore, we encourage you to call the Office of Admission at any time at 401.865.2535 or 800.721.6444 to speak with a counselor about the wait list. We understand the anxiety that a student on the wait list experiences and will do our best to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. While a certain percentage of students must therefore be denied admission, there are many other talented students whom we select for a place on our “wait list.” The wait list assures that we can meet our enrollment goals and provide spaces to deserving candidates.

These upgrades are useful and empowering, and heck, after you’ve unlocked a few of Pontius’ abilities, he actually becomes good for more than just hacking goblins to death. Zoya can earn explosive arrows, for instance, while Amadeus can become capable of having more items conjured simultaneously, among other things. There are potions scattered throughout levels and dropped by defeated monsters that serve as experience points for every 50 you collect, you earn a skill point you can spend to unlock new abilities for your characters. By the fifth time, you realize that the game’s physics are too easily exploited. The first time it happens, you might think you just got lucky. The buoyant jumps make it feel as if your characters aren’t rooted in the world, and those characters have an odd tendency to sometimes scramble up onto ledges or platforms that seem like they shouldn’t be reachable, so you can sometimes bypass puzzles without coming up with anything resembling a proper solution. As a result, you can waste a lot of time experimenting with bad ideas, or give up on sound ideas that didn't work because you didn't have all the pieces in exactly the right spot.įurther dampening the pleasure of progressing past Trine 2's puzzles is the game's floaty movement. And because you sometimes need to have things positioned perfectly for a particular solution you have in mind to work, it can be difficult to know if the concept you're working with won't work, or if you're just not executing it well enough. But it feels like you've stumbled on a makeshift solution that happens to get the job done, rather than cleverly worked out a challenging conundrum. Trine 2's dazzling locations will cast a spell on you.įumbling with conjured boxes and planks, you may eventually jerry-rig something that lets you climb the ledge you need to climb or water the plant you need to water. Instead, because solutions don't click satisfyingly into place, you often don't feel like you're really solving anything at all. Given the physics-based nature of the puzzles, you can often solve them in a number of ways, which may sound like it opens the door to satisfyingly creative problem-solving. Those puzzles are the heart of Trine 2, and though they're dressed up in gorgeous fantasy trappings, trying to devise solutions to them usually feels something like trying to fix a pesky problem around the house with whatever supplies you have laying around. You encounter enough goblins and other nasty creatures that Pontius' skills come in handy, though the combat here is just a shallow and easy diversion that only serves to give your brain a break between puzzles. Pontius can smash stuff real good with his sword, and that's about it, at least initially. Zoya can fire arrows at distant targets and can grapple on to wooden surfaces, letting her swing up and reach areas others can't. Amadeus can conjure boxes and planks, and can move and manipulate some objects from a distance, making his skills vital in overcoming most puzzles. This is essential as you progress through Trine 2's side-scrolling levels, in which you frequently encounter puzzles and obstacles that you can't simply leap over. The three heroes are bound together through the magic of a mysterious artifact called the Trine, the upshot being that you can swap between them instantly. The characters are established only in broad strokes, and the tale Trine 2 tells is a flimsy one it's a shame that a world this rich in visual detail doesn't get a story to match. You play as a trio of characters: the wizard Amadeus, the thief Zoya, and Pontius, the knight whose appetite for adventure is rivaled only by his appetite for food and drink.
