“If I don’t get doubled off that doesn’t happen so I take responsibility.”ĭespite all of the strangeness, the Red Sox still managed to take it to the best team in baseball.Īfter Schreiber limited Atlanta to only a Sean Murphy RBI single in the first, Pivetta came on and shut the Braves down. ![]() It’s one of those things where it’s risk reward and it didn’t go my way,” Duvall said, adding that Yoshida then getting thrown out was his fault, too. “I got out a little bit too far and he made a good throw back. The only other occurrence of a similar play took place all the way back on Jin a game between the Boston Beaneaters, predecessor of the Braves, and the long defunct Providence Grays.ĭuvall said afterwards he thought the ball was hit off the end of the bat and that it had a chance to fall in, and his goal was to put himself in position to reach second if it did. The result was the first triple play in MLB so far this season, and only the second 8-3-5 triple play in MLB history. Then, if that wasn’t bad enough, Yoshida broke for third base from second and was also thrown out by a mile. Braves outfielder Michael Harris easily made the catch, but for some reason Adam Duvall broke for second and was easily doubled up at first base. With two on and no outs, Triston Casas flared a routine fly ball into shallow center field. The following inning there was a lengthy delay due to issues with catcher Connor Wong’s PitchCom device, and then in the bottom of the third the Red Sox delivered a lowlight almost without precedent in baseball history. “All around a good one, besides the triple play.”Īlong the way, the game featured several bizarre and unusual sequences. “We play them well and we pitch well against them, so it was a good all-around win, Nick did an outstanding job again without his best stuff,” said Red Sox manager Alex Cora. ![]() Nick Pivetta once again led the way, lowering his bullpen ERA to 1.98 after pitching five scoreless innings from the second to the sixth inning, and Masataka Yoshida capped off a relentless offensive performance with a two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth to effectively put the game away. ![]() Tuesday night, those who braved the hour and 40 minute rain delay were treated to the full 2023 Red Sox experience.ĭespite running into a rare 8-3-5 triple play, the first in Major League Baseball in 139 years, the Red Sox otherwise dominated the best team in the league and cruised to a comfortable 7-1 win over the Atlanta Braves. At their worst, they’re capable of jaw-dropping ineptitude of historic proportions. At their best, the Red Sox are capable of beating anyone in baseball.

She's taken to crowing at dawn to call for her friend (sorry neighbours!). So Saffie is no more, and Fluffles has been a lonely little chook without her bestie. (I hadn't thought that would be a problem in the middle of summer. The area I had put them in at the bottom corner of our section does tend to bog up in really heavy rain. I thought they'd enjoy having more room and trees to play in, since I wouldn't be there to bring them fresh material each day like I do when they're in their enclosed run.įluffles and Saffie had seemed fine in the open run leading up to our departure, and I hadn't seen them try to escape once, but apparently we had abnormally high rainfall here just after we left, and I suspect Saffie went exploring for drier land. This helps support the content I'm creating, the animals on the farm and the rewilding projects I'm building to help create an oasis for wildlife.I had put the chickens and their coop in an open run area over the Christmas period. ☕ Enjoyed and found this article useful? Please consider buying me a virtual Coffee. ![]() And if you’ve any questions, please just comment below and I’ll do my best to respond. I have a YouTube outlining some of these IDs - please see below. However, once again, combined with other characteristics, it will help ID your hens and silkie cockerels. These are often males, though hens will also bicker to establish pecking order. They’ll stand face to face, pushing their neck out and often splaying their neck feathers. However, you may see two birds standing off against each other. This isn’t necessarily treading, as cockerels often will not attempt this until they’re a lot older. Combine such characteristics with some of the ID tips above, particularly the feathers, and you’ll soon have your answer.įinally, like all chickens, young silkies will begin to establish gender related behaviour fairly early on. Meanwhile, young cockerels wattles will start to grow into pale blue or red lobes that hang down a little. Hen wattles will often remain just small patches of blue on the side of the face until they reach maturity. Though both silkie hens and cockerels both have wattles and combs, boys tend to start growing them earlier. Below, a young hen with a neat, rounded crown. A wet crown is almost impossible to correctly identify as it can be a right mess.ĪBOVE: A young cockerel with an oval crown and streamers. When you’re looking at the crown, I advise making sure your silkies are dry. It’s often quite messy, with multiple streamers sticking out in all places. Meanwhile, for males, the crown is often more oblong or egg-shaped. ![]() There should be no ‘streamers’ sticking out as mentioned above. In hens, when you look down from a birds-eye view, it should be neat and fairly rounded. The crown on a silkie, is the group of feathers on top of the head. Saddle feathers are long and thin, grow from the centre of the back and hand down, often curling around the tail and rump. Saddle feathers - as their name suggests, saddle feathers appear on the back and tail end of poultry think of the placement of a horse saddle. Whereas hens have nice, short, rounded feathers, you’ll find that young males have a messy looking crown a top their head with the so called ‘streamers’ sticking out the back. Streamers - silkie cockerels tend to get thin, long feathers coming from their crown. At nine weeks (3 months old), some of the gender specific feathers will begin to appear. ![]() One of the best ways to work out the gender of your silkie is by the feathers. ![]() Coral Banded Shrimp ( Stenopus hispidus)Ĭoral banded shrimp will show up under the names of banded cleaner shrimp, boxer shrimp, and coral banded shrimp. ![]() Most aquarists stick to four primary species when they think of cleaner shrimp. The movement helps to attract the attention of fish in the area. Researchers have determined that the faster they move in their swaying, the hungrier the shrimp are. Some of the more social members of the cleaning group will also “dance” to attract attention. They don’t require the rigors of maintaining a specific sea anemone, nor do they have specific diets of starfish. The white bands on their legs or antennae serve as an advertisement of their services.įish notice the bright shade and swim over to have unwanted pests removed from their scales. They form “cleaning stations” on the reefs. It’s one of the features that sets them apart from their fellow cleaners.Īll of these dutiful crustaceans behave similarly. This is where you’ll find the coral banded shrimp ( Stenopus hispidus), fire shrimp ( Lysmata debelius), and scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp ( Lysmata amboinensis).īut cleaner shrimp inhabit the entire tropical belt of the global ocean.Īnd peppermint shrimp ( Lysmata wurdemanni) hang out on coral reefs throughout the Caribbean. The majority of the most popular cleaner shrimp kept in marine aquariums inhabit the Indo-Pacific region. And that may mean keeping the shrimp away from corals. Others need specific lighting, and still, others have special menus (such as starfish).īefore you decide to add cleaner shrimp to your reef tank, make sure you spend some time on homework.Īs cool as it is to spy on a crustacean grooming a fish, you want to keep them as happy and healthy as you can. Some shrimp have no problem going about their business in peace. ![]() Stenopodidae (which has the coral banded shrimp).ĭifficulty in management depends on the species you choose.Palaemonidae (which includes species that bond with sea anemones).Hippolytidae (where you find the fire shrimp, peppermint shrimp, and scarlet skunk cleaner shrimp).There are three families cleaner shrimp belong to: It’s a symbiotic relationship where the fish lose potential sources of infection, and the shrimp gain a handy meal (and don’t need to worry about the fish snacking on them). If you get the bonus of a cleaner shrimp out of the mix, why not aim for the benefit?Ĭleaner shrimp are any species that remove parasites and excess mucus from fish and other invertebrates. ![]() The variety of colors, patterns, and shapes of these crustaceans make for creative members of community tanks. Anyways, feel like I'm writing them a review lol.Plenty of aquarists get interested in adding saltwater shrimp to their reef tanks. We chatted about my tank, showed him some pictures, he was really interested in my planted tanks and said they were planning on expanding the FW planted section which was great news! for being new to selling plants they kept darn good care of them. Will definatly be going back there for any of my saltwater needs. Gained my trust right there with honest and knowledgeable answers. I already had a decent idea of what would be good/bad for my tank from researching alot and they were spot on with what my research concluded. The staff at Aquarium Arts was awesome, they spent time answering some questions and had some great suggestions for stocking. Saw a 180g tank there, started thinking, not gonna lie, gave me a chub Excited to see how the shrimp do. Stopped at Aquarium Arts on my way home and am aclimating 2 peppermint and one skunk cleaner right now (will probably get one or two more peppermint in the future but 'she who must be obeyed' only approved $50 for shrimp lol). I'm blaming my aptasia and colonial hydroids on the frag rocks salty gave me lol JUST KIDDING! Salty198 hooked me up with a half dozen frags a few weeks ago when I was first getting setup, all are doing good minus the one table SPS which I broke trying to learn how to mount it (shhh don't tell him lol) Other than you local guys what do you recommend doing with extra frags? I would absolutely hate throwing them out, but the Kenya is going nuts in my tank and I have 4 pieces of bright yellow/green trumpet (2 very large, one medium, and one 3 headed frag) Do you by chance want that 3 headed trumpet frag? My planted tanks are also fully stocked up, have to do weekly pruning. I'm also a planted tank guy so was looking at the FW stuff also, not a lot but they had an alright selection (I miss pets inc). I was 30 minutes late getting back because I was checking out all the frags. I know, I went there the other week at lunch (since I had to go back to work I knew I wouldn't be able to buy anything) and the selection was awesome. ![]() It's been a long time since The Eagles put out a new studio CD. And I totally sold it short in my first review with a simple line and note that the piano solo at the end is very "Hornsby-esque" (which it is. (And what great allegory that is.the double entrendre of making a mess not only of the clothing, but of her life in general.) Is just layers upon layers of melody that are interwoven like a fine tapestry. The song is so simple, yet so complex.the interlude after Going back to read it, I would make some definite changes to what I wrote - I didn't "love" Waiting in the Weeds" the first couple of times I heard it, but it's become my favorite on the CD, and one of my favorite Eagles songs. That being said, I wrote a review of LROE about a year ago when I purchased the CD (late comer ). Yep, social commentary, but I find it rather amusing, tongue in cheek. Personally, I like FG, but don't read so much into the lyrics. That kind of thing leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Obviously Henley believes that HE knows what the Lord cares about, unlike those stupid suckers, eh? I love how he begrudgingly admits that nowadays the prayers are for kids not to get hurt! As if the universe is so small that the Lord has time to watch football games." you know, they ask the Lord to watch over this football game, as if the Lord has nothing else to do. I mean, they used to come out and just ask outright for victory, but now they just sort of pray that nobody gets hurt, which is fine, but. And there's always a prayer before the games. ![]() " football is right up there next to God and Mom and the flag and apple pie. The Capitol Gold interview actually made me like the song even less because he reveals that the people he's mocking, the ones that pray at football games, are just regular folks hoping the game goes well. "I'm so much better than the ignorant masses." It's so freaking arrogant and condescending. the way he sneers at people who pray for things that he considers trivial. The way he mocks working class guys whom he considers to be unenlightened. I think what bothers me about this song is the way Henley seems to look down on regular people. I just don't like the impression that he gives off in the song. lol I don't know.I can't really explain why the lyrics annoy me in a way that makes sense. lol It has nothing to do with being a Christian because, believe me, I know the assumptions that a lot of people have with that and I also know the impression that a lot of "christians" give off. lol Even if I didn't find the lyrics to be condescending, I still wouldn't like the melody or (shock shock) the way he sings it. To be honest, I "get" what Don was trying to do with the song.

In the movie, The Pearl is 3,500 feet, which would make it the tallest building in the world by a whopping 783 feet over the actual world's tallest building, the 2,717-foot Burj Khalifa in Dubai. There's also an Olympic-sized swimming pool, gyms, basketball courts, a driving range, a movie theater, and a six-story shopping mall - in addition to luxury apartments and hotels. Adding to its greenness is a giant, 30-story botanical garden located on the 100th floor. Between floors 200 and 230 is a giant wind turbine located within the building, generating its own power and allowing The Pearl to run on green energy. Rising 240 stories above Hong Kong, the building features a spherical glass observation deck at the top - that's where the name The Pearl comes from. ![]() The film's marketing department has gone all out to convince fans it is, though, including creating a viral marketing website touting the building's unique features. But you don't have to worry about that, because The Pearl from Skyscraper is not a real building. Things of course don't go according to plan, and that may give you pause about visiting The Pearl in real life. His newest assignment is The Pearl, the world's tallest and most advanced building, located in Hong Kong. In it, Johnson stars as a war veteran and former FBI hostage rescuer who now assesses security for skyscrapers. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is looking to continue his stellar year at the box office with Skyscraper, an old school action movie meant as an homage to classics of the genre like Die Hard and The Towering Inferno. Still, the tape, soft clip and overdrive are excellent.Īcid V goes a step beyond typical modern amenities. ![]() And the destroy algorithm fails to live up to its name. ![]() For example, the crusher is fine, but there's a better bit crushing option in the effects section. One of the most common tricks used on the 303 was to overdrive it into oblivion, and Arturia puts 14 algorithms at your fingertips for doing that. Next to that you'll find the vibrato controls and then the dedicated distortion circuit. The main instrument has added a few welcome amenities, including a sub oscillator with three selectable waveforms which gives the Acid V more oomph than the original ever had. Oh, and if that's not enough there are different playback modes so you can pingpong through a sequence, play it backwards or just bounce around randomly.Īrturia didn't save all the upgrades for the advanced tab, though. This gives you a lot of power to build something that's constantly evolving, especially if you're taking use of the full 64 steps. And there's even a polymetric option that allows you to change the sequence length of the notes, slides, vibrato and accents individually. You can easily shift sequences up or down a note chromatically or to the left and right to change the note order. On the left you can lock the sequencer into a particular scale to simplify things, add swing, change the sequence length (up to 64 steps) and even generate random sequences. What made it special was its odd squelchy sound that, when paired with the slides in its sequencer, produced something totally unique and became the core of acid house, hence the name Acid V. It's a bass machine - monophonic with a single oscillator, a 24db lowpass filter and an envelope generator to manipulate the filter. In part because the original 303 is a reasonably simple instrument. Well, I feel slightly embarrassed because there was a pretty obvious gap in Arturia's lineup I had overlooked: The Roland TB-303.Īrturia Acid V is probably one of the simpler instruments the company has made in recent years. We did get a version of the Korg MS-20 in May of 2022 as part of V Collection 9, but otherwise things have been pretty quiet. At this point the company has tackled many of the most iconic synths in history, and spent much of last year focused on its original creations like the Augmented series, Pigments, Fragments and Dist Coldfire. If you do this and it works for you, please spread the word everywhere you can find because I did not see a single reference to VST version when I googled Maschine seeing but not loading 3rd party plugins.I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out what would be the next vintage synth to get the Arturia emulation treatment. Anyway hope this helps someone because I was really pulling my hair out on this one. I strongly suspect its the VST2.4 version that fixed it and not the VST install location being the same folder as the NI stuff, but I'm too lazy to do a scientific study to find out. And BOOM! Just like that, all my Arturia stuff loads right up. So I checked the box to install the 2.4 versions and when asked, set the install location to the same folder where the rest of my NI stuff is installed. Previously I'd only installed the VST3 versions because Cubase ran those just fine so why would I want to clutter up my system with VST2.4's that I would never use? I updated all my Arturia plugs and when asked I checked the box to also install the VST2.4 versions of the plugs. UPDATE: I have just solved this, on my system anyway.

Its upper was composed of nylon and synthetic felt, with a leather version being released in 1988. It was marketed for running, which would continue to be the case for new Air Max designs until 2018's Air Max 270. Released in 1987 as simply the Air Max, the Air Max 1 was the first shoe ever to employ Max Air technology.

The extremely inflated prices of the shoes led to a rash of muggings in the normally-peaceful country wherein Air Max wearers were attacked and their shoes were stolen. In the mid-1990s the line, particularly the Air Max 95, experienced such a surge of popularity in Japan that it led to a phenomenon known as "Air Max hunting". ![]() Certain Air Max models are coveted among foot, sneaker and sportswear fetishists. The line of sneakers is popular amongst many subcultures, for example hip hop and gabber. The size, design, and number of air units varies within the product line the "retro" Air Max 1 simply includes one small unit under the heel, while in the contemporary Air VaporMax, effectively the entire midsole is composed of air units with no conventional foam present. The effectiveness of the technology for this purpose is disputed nevertheless, the shoes enjoy consistent popularity, especially among sneaker enthusiasts and collectors. Referred to as "Air units" or "airbags," their stated purpose is to provide superior cushioning to traditional foam while also reducing weight. As the name indicates, all Air Max shoes feature one or more translucent pouches of pressurized gas embedded in the midsole and visible from the outside of the shoe. In 1979, he patented a design using polyurethane sacs filled with pressurized inert gas, and Nike has been using some version of this design ever since. Frank Rudy, an aeronautical engineer, first brought the idea of an air-cushioned sole to Nike in 1977. Overview Sylvia Fowles wearing Nike LeBron 15 Air Max (2018) Air Max was conceptualized by Tinker Hatfield, who initially worked for Nike designing stores.
