1/31/2024 0 Comments Ernest saves christmasOh, and you can't forget the red sack with its magic powers to provide gifts to all kids, falling into the unfortunate possession of Ernest and a teen runaway, Harmony (Noelle Parker), who has lost her belief in Santa. Probably the best Ernest film featuring Jim Varney, mainly because it wisely features the lovable doofus during the Christmas season, complete with a retiring Santa, reindeer that leap from floor to roof at the postal warehouse, two elves arriving at the airport and eventually to accompany Ernest on a world trip (and around the world!), the sleigh and its "air brakes", and an actor often associated with the role of Santa looking to expand on his career through the aid of his encouraging agent (to star in a monster movie with gratuitous violence and foul language!). So, make a batch of mulled, spiced cider and buttered popcorn and put this one into the home theater machine in the very near future. Its humor is infectious, not offensive, and its sweet tale will warm the hearts of its viewers. Please, do reconsider when it comes to this one. Perhaps you have heard that Varney's humor is sometimes of the gross-out nature and you would rather not share his films with your family. No one will find fault with the look of the film, either, as the costumes, sets, and production values are high. The rest of the cast, although unknown, are fine as well. Just watch him talk about "channel number 5 perfume" or a "failure to accumulate" and you will be laughing heartily. There is only one Ernest, of course, and Varney provides much comedic mayhem with his unique character. ![]() Is it up to Ernest to make sure Santa can fly on his big day? This is a sweet and fun family film that borrows a bit from Miracle on 34th Street and other holiday flicks. Claus, Ernest learns, however, that the old man has been thrown in jail. Could this really have been Santa? Trying to return the sack to Mr. As Ernest opens the bag, he gets a glimpse of the bag's magical powers. The old man left his red, very large duffle-type bag on board. Picking up a Christmas tree that fell off a truck and a homeless young teenage girl with an attitude, Ernest makes his way over to Vern's house to decorate. He drops the old man off, however, at a retirement home, as requested. But, when the bearded one tells Ernest that his name is Santa Claus, Ernest doesn't really believe him. Although Ernest sings "O Christmas Tree" with only these three words, he's really a nice guy. Seeing a white-bearded gentleman who needs a cab, he hustles the old guy into his clutches and speeds off. One day, he crashes his taxi into the unloading area of the airport and must make a beeline out of the site. 7/10 Bethany CoxĮrnest (Jim Varney) is a cab driver who runs the airport routes in a big city. I do also think it is underrated there are much worse movies out there, namely any of the Friedberg-Seltzer movies, Home Alone 4 and Superbabies:Baby Geniuses 2. I got exactly what I wanted, a fun film that while predictable and silly is lots of fun too. It is far from a masterpiece, but seriously I wasn't expecting it to be. Ernest Saves Christmas is an above average seasonal comedy about the power of belief and the dignity of an individual. The opening credits with the collage of Christmas carols were a delight. And I actually thought the acting is above decent, with the late (and talented) Jim Varney wonderfully spirited as Ernest and Douglas Seale is simply great as Santa. The camera-work may be a tad dated, but the music is very nice indeed. Amongst the humour, is an in general heart-warming story about Santa and his attempts to find a successor. And I must say the scene with the magic sleigh was uproariously funny. ![]() While very predictable in plotting and rather repetitive and slow in the middle half especially in the first thirty minutes Ernest Saves Christmas does have its funny moments. Expect a harmless and fun Christmas comedy, that way you are in for a good time. Don't expect a sophisticated plot, and a superlative script. I will agree that it is very silly, and certainly not Oscar worthy. Ernest Saves Christmas is a very underrated Christmas holiday flick.

1/30/2024 0 Comments X and o football![]() Catch that ball and they’re home free.Ĩ - Post Corner: This route mixes the magic of a post route with-you guessed it-a corner route. Just when the designated defensive guard thinks they’re covered, the player takes off again toward the end zone. First, they run straight about seven yards and then stop. This is effective for needed short yardage.ħ - Stop and Go: This route is perfect for players who have a need for speed. Now let’s go over some more complicated routes showcased in the image above and walk through each individual player’s movement.Ħ - Option: In this trick route, the player appears to begin a slant, heading toward the center of the field, but then cuts directly parallel toward the sideline. Run straight-and fast! Give this route to the player who has some serious wheels (and hands) to gain lots of yardage. This route is optimal if you need the player to catch the ball and then step out of bounds to stop the clock during a nail-biting game.ĥ - Fly: The fly is the easiest route in the book. Offensive football plays pro-tip: Having a hard time keeping all the types of routes straight? Easily remember ‘post’ routes by envisioning that you’re running towards the field goal post in the center of the field.Ĥ - Corner: This player proceeds straight for seven yards, then runs at a 45-degree angle toward the edge of the field. This route is reliable for critical yardage gain. This prevents any collisions as the players complete their routes.ģ - Post: The player runs forward a designated amount, in this case seven yards, then cuts at a 45-degree angle to the center of the field. Offensive football plays safety pro-tip: When combining two football plays that cross each other, like slants and outs, make sure the players communicate who is going to leave their formation first. This opens not one, but two players for a quick throw from the quarterback. As the two players cross directions mid-route, their defensive counterparts are often unable to track and follow their designated target. Offensive football plays pro-tip: The combination of 1-Slant and 2-Out is a classic, effective technique. This play becomes more effective when combined with 2 - Out (See below).Ģ - Out: In an out play, the player should run forward for a designated yardage, five in this case, and then cut on a direct 90-degree angle in either direction. This throws off defenders running backwards to guard the player, and opens them up to a quick pass from the quarterback.ġ - Slant: During a slant, the player should run forward a couple yards, then cut at a near 45-degree angle forward. Note that all routes begin at the hike of the ball by the quarterback.Ġ - Hitch: In this hitch route, the player runs straight for seven yards, then quickly pivots backwards for a couple yards. Let’s walk through each player, from left to right. This image showcases six different routes that can be used on offense in flag football. The arrows reflect the plays, or routes, which provide an individualized map for each player in a formation. Where each player is located at the start of the play represents an offensive formation. Each circle or O represents an individual player, with the square representing the quarterback. Take a look at the offensive flag football plays below. This prevents players from running into each other, crowding on the field, and promotes safety. Football formations give each player a specific location on the line of scrimmage to begin their play. What is a football formation? At the beginning of all offensive plays, players on the field must create an offensive formation at the line of scrimmage. That’s why our guide provides needed information-from basics to more advanced football formations-for both 5 on 5 and 7 on 7 flag football plays. Some of the best football plays are actually quite simple. We recommend beginning coaching with a strong set of fundamentals before conquering complex setups. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Textexpander coupon code
1/30/2024 0 Comments Gorilla silverback tires weigh![]() Skins of gorillai women, brought back by Hanno, are reputed to have been kept at Carthage until Rome destroyed the city 350 years later at the end of the Punic Wars, 146 BC. It is unknown whether what the explorers encountered were what we now call gorillas, another species of ape or monkeys, or humans. Members of the expedition encountered "savage people, the greater part of whom were women, whose bodies were hairy, and whom our interpreters called Gorillae". 500 BC), a Carthaginian explorer on an expedition to the west African coast to the area that later became Sierra Leone. The word gorilla comes from the history of Hanno the Navigator ( c. However, conservation efforts have been successful in some areas where they live. There are many threats to their survival, such as poaching, habitat destruction, and disease, which threaten the survival of the species. Both species are classified as Critically Endangered by the IUCN all subspecies are classified as Critically Endangered with the exception of the mountain gorilla, which is classified as Endangered. There are thought to be around 316,000 western gorillas in the wild, and 5,000 eastern gorillas. Lowland gorillas live in dense forests and lowland swamps and marshes as low as sea level, with western lowland gorillas living in Central West African countries and eastern lowland gorillas living in the Democratic Republic of the Congo near its border with Rwanda. The mountain gorilla inhabits the Albertine Rift montane cloud forests of the Virunga Volcanoes, ranging in altitude from 2,200 to 4,300 metres (7,200 to 14,100 ft). Although their range covers a small percentage of Sub-Saharan Africa, gorillas cover a wide range of elevations. Gorillas' natural habitats cover tropical or subtropical forest in Sub-Saharan Africa. Gorillas tend to live 35–40 years in the wild. The Eastern gorilla is distinguished from the Western by darker fur colour and some other minor morphological differences. They tend to live in troops, with the leader being called a silverback. Gorillas are the largest living primates, reaching heights between 1.25 and 1.8 metres, weights between 100 and 270 kg, and arm spans up to 2.6 metres, depending on species and sex. The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95 to 99% depending on what is included, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after chimpanzees and bonobos. The genus Gorilla is divided into two species: the eastern gorilla and the western gorilla, and either four or five subspecies. Gorillas are herbivorous, predominantly ground-dwelling great apes that inhabit the tropical forests of equatorial Africa. 1/30/2024 0 Comments Megasync for windows![]() That is cool, and even if you don’t carry out the extra activities, 15 GB isn’t a small number at all. Presently Mega offers 15 GB of free cloud storage, which an expanded by several gigabytes by carrying out several tasks like downloading the MEGAsync and Android app, inviting friends to use MEGA, etc.So here I will discuss how you can install Mega on a Linux system.īut before that, let’s find out, why you should use Mega in the first place. Talking about Mega, which is a leading cloud storage provider, its client is also available for the Linux platform, which lacks official client for most cloud storage solutions including Google Drive. ![]() Depending upon, why you are going for cloud storage, you might even need backup solutions, which isn’t available on cloud storage solutions. In short, it provides two-way synchronization.įor example, if you want to sync your cloud storage, or just want to access the same from different systems running Android, iOS, Windows, Linux, the cloud storage solution should be cross-platform. All the changes happen to files resides on MEGA Cloud Drive will automatically reflect on Local computer and vice versa. Just same as Dropbox, it also provides the ability to the user to sync its folder and files between local PC to MEGA Cloud Drive. MEGAsync is a cross-platform application that is available for Windows, Linux and MacOS. An incomplete uninstallation of a program may cause problems, which is why thorough removal of programs is recommended.Step 7: Start Syncing files and folders What is MEGAsync? There could be other causes why users may not be able to uninstall MEGAsync.

I ask of you to let rain pour from the sky, soaking the rich earth in gentle waters. My Queen, most fair Hera, I ask of you to bring the winds, the powerful air, and wonderful storms. Thank you, queen hera, for all that you have done. I hope that the skies will be cleared, and the clouds empty. I ask of you, to grant good weather on this day. Hera, I wish you a good morning, for Eos has brought the dawn once more, and tireless Helios travels the sky.

Hera, white-armed goddess, of the chariot, Hera Heniokhe, please rant me motion - for I thank you, and love you, dear Hera. I struggle with the burdens I carry, especially on this day. I beg of you, Queen Of the gods, to grant me energy. Queen of the heavens, I pray to you to let my day go well, my tasks to be finished, and for my day to go well.

Hera Alexandros, dear defender of man, the queen who bares a lotus tipped staff - protect me, and my life that is like the herds of cattle you adore - I do not wish to be trampled by storming hooves. There are more epithets of Hades, especially in Latin/Etruscan, but I personally won’t be using those, so I did not look them up. ![]() Zeus Katachthonios (“subterranean Zeus”) Stygeros (Stygis) (στυγερός “the Stygian”, from Styx, the chthonian river means “terrible” or “terrifying”) Phonios (φόνιος “the murderous one”/“the dreadful one”) Ophieus (his name as the blind god among the Messenians: it was derived from their dedicating certain Augurs to him, whom they deprived of sight at the moment of their birth) Moiragetes (his name as guide of the Fates) Kyanochaites (κυανοχαίτης “the black-haired one” the blackness mentioned is metallic, like raven feathers) Iphthimos (ἴφθιμος “celebrated/renowned for his power”) Iao (his name at Clares, a town of Ionia) Hesperos Theos (“god of death & darkness”) Hennichos (ἔννυχος “of the night”/“the night one”) Euboulos/Eubuleus (“good counsel”/“well-intentioned”) Chthonius (“of the earth or underworld”) Axiocersus (“the shorn god” from the mysteries of the Cabiri where he was represented as without hair) Apotropos (ἀπότροπος “the one who’s turned away”/“the averted one”) Aidoneos (probably derived from Hades’ having been sometimes confounded with a king of this name among the Molossi, whose daughter Persephone, Theseus and Pirithous attempted to carry off) Agetes/Hegetes (assigned to him by Pindar, “one who conducts”) Agesilaus (“he who attracts all people to his empire”) Agelastu (from his melancholy countenance) Adesius (his name in Latium expressive of the grace) 1/30/2024 0 Comments Openemu windows![]() ![]() OpenEmu is a game console emulator, but it's perhaps more accurately described as a frontend for a whole bunch of different emulators. This week’s release marks the first time that a ready-for-prime-time binary version has been available for download, so we’re taking it for a spin using some homebrew games (available free of cost from the OpenEmu site) and a few game backups, which you can grab from your own cartridges with a gadget like the Retrode. OpenEmu won’t be new to emulation enthusiasts-the OS X-only software has been in development for several years, and gamers have been welcome to download and compile its work-in-progress source code for quite some time. This year, gamers got an early Christmas present in the form of the long-awaited 1.0 release of OpenEmu. That doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions, particularly for Mac users: last year we took a look at Boxer, which combines classic MS-DOS game emulation with a spiffy and easy-to-use UI. Regardless of what they prioritize, user interfaces are not their strong suit, and most of them haven’t evolved beyond a basic settings panel and a file picker that wouldn’t look out of place in Windows 95. However I’ve only tested this build on Windows.Įdit 3: I added some new screenies to show recent progress and I added some new features, check below.Įdit 4: Fast switching of shader files were added, check out the short new video below.Įdit 5: I added a lot of new features, see below.Įdit 6: I added a notification bubble, game counter, rewrote several back-end functions, and found a way to create builds I’ll have one up in the next few day, as soon as I stabilize things.Game console emulators have typically concerned themselves with either speed and compatibility, or accuracy. I slowed it down with youtube’s editor, but it will take a few minutes for it to process.Įdit 2: This program will work on Windows, OSX, and Linux. ()Įdit 1: I forgot that the video I linked to has really fast playback. Also here is a link to a video in which i demonstrate some of the features.

Granted, the production looks fantastic with lush and detailed sets, beautiful costumes and the martial arts action is fairly decent. ![]() Besides, the humor display within is childish and cringe worthy. Overall, this is Ricky Lau recycling himself after thirty six years but still brings nothing really exciting to the mix. How many times does the audience need to see someone being kicked, flown across the room and knocking down furniture? Previously, Ricky was a Management A nalyst at U.S. Food & Drug Administration based in Silver Spring, Maryland. However, it looks like he only has one basic set of routine which gets repeated throughout the whole movie therefore it becomes boring after a while. Ricky King Ching is a Management Analyst at U.S. Honestly, no one can replace the one and only Lam Ching Ying.Ĭredited as the action director, Zhang Di Cai's fight sequences which are mostly of the hand to hand variety with a few interesting weapons thrown in, are decent and fluid in their execution. He's heavily made up to look like him, right down to the same haircut and the trademark mono brow and they even address him as Uncle Ying. Zhang Di Cai has the unfortunate task of portraying the original Taoist master made famous by Lam Ching Ying. Interestingly, his son Pang Jing Feng now plays the same student character that he played in “Mr. It's good to see Chin Siu Ho back on the screen but his Uncle Ho character seems bored and uninspired. His second in charge, Jade Phoenix ( Ariel Ahn Wei) is another stand out, a mysterious character who's both ruthless and beautiful. Veteran Norman Chui is wonderful as the bandits' boss and it looks like he's having fun. Needless to say, this all ends up in a showdown inside his impressively designed lush lair in which only the tough guys will be left standing. The rest of the movie concentrates on the Ghost King's plot of trying to overrun Mei Zhou town, where our protagonists live. ![]() Both these scenes are visually impressive to behold and they bring back fond memories of the first “Mr. Next up, we follow Uncle Ho as he investigates a supposedly haunted dye factory and encounters a couple of ladies who dress up as ghosts only to scare off the owner. Uncle Ying's entourage intercepts them which end up in a well-choreographed fight with some humor thrown in. The best part of “ Taoist Priest” is at the beginning, when we witness a priest in his familiar yellow robe, while he's herding a row of ten hopping vampires across town, all in their beautiful Qing Dynasty robes. 279 Followers, 420 Following, 23 Posts - See Instagram photos and videos from Ricky King Ching (rickytkc) rickytkc. One Eyebrow” which interestingly, is the same Chinese title of “Vampire Vs Vampire” (1989) directed by Lam Ching Ying himself. However, they do use their kung fu skills when the Ghost King (Norman Chui) and his bandits try to take over their town. Together with the help of three students, they use medical knowledge and science to fight against superstitions and supernatural phenomena. So, this is a vampire movie without vampires and ghosts it stars Chin Siu Ho as Uncle Ho and Zhang Di Cai plays Uncle Ying, the famous single browed Taoist master. Furthermore, they only appear briefly at the beginning of the movie then disappear and never to be seen again. To get around this, Lau replaces his hopping corpses with a group of opium smuggling bandits who wear fake teeth, fake long finger nails and to help them hop, they now have springs under their shoes. Fast forward to 2021, he's back with his Mainland version of the same Qing Dynasty robe wearing outstretched arms jumping undead but with a difference so he can get pass the strict Chinese censorship which doesn't allow screen portrayal of vampires, ghosts or any feudalistic ideology. Consequently, he also turned leading man Lam Ching Ying who plays the Taoist exorcist into a household name. Vampire” which spawned a few sequels and numerous parodies. His name is likely a play on words with the phrase "ka-ching", since he sold the Monkey King puppet to Jackie for $20, and later the remedy to the puppet's curse to Uncle and Tohru for $200.Ricky Lau will forever be known as the director who started the popular Hong Kong hopping jiangshi (stiff corpse) horror comedy movie series of the late 1980s starting with his “Mr. |
