Furthermore, since its opening in 1989, Precious Moments Park in Carthage, Missouri has welcomed approximately 400,000 visitors every year. Members of collector's clubs continue to be found throughout the world. The collection is now thousands of pieces, with new introductions offered each year. The success of the Precious Moments figurines was amazing, yet Sam never lost touch with his original purpose to create art which combined his heartfelt emotions with his abiding faith. Less than a year after their introduction, demand was overwhelming. ![]() People began to write to Sam, telling him about how the Precious Moments figurines had touched their lives in a moving and heartfelt way. The response to the collection was incredible. It was the beginning of a phenomenon for both Sam and the gift industry.īy the end of 1978, the "Original 21" Precious Moments figurines were introduced to the market. Shortly thereafter, Sam was approached by Enesco Corporation to develop a three-dimensional figurine based on his artwork titled “Love One Another.” Sam was so overwhelmed when he saw the first porcelain sample, he fell to his knees and wept. Their tiny booth was filled with enthusiastic retailers wanting to order the new line and the crowd became so large, neighboring vendors came over to help the two young men write orders. They took their goods to the annual Christian Booksellers Association Convention in Anaheim, California. In the early 1970s, Sam and a friend, Bill Biel, started a small company to produce his Precious Moments art on a line of cards and posters, calling their company Jonathan & David. His dedication earned him a scholarship to the College of Arts & Crafts in Berkeley. Encouraged by his mother, he pursued formal art training following his high school graduation. Today, his Precious Moments artwork is among the most recognized art in the world, sharing messages of loving, caring and sharing with collectors from around the globe.Ī man of deep personal faith and conviction, Sam demonstrated artistic talent at an early age. It began more than three decades ago, when Precious Moments® creator, Sam Butcher, began drawing the endearing teardrop-eyed children he called "Precious Moments," as gifts for family and friends. ![]()

7/22/2023 0 Comments Ardour vs reaper mac![]() The possibilities for complex routing, sound design, and audio problem-solving that are common in other DAWs are simply not present here. The counterbalance of simplicity is limitation, so GarageBand’s strength is also its weakness. You can hear basic results immediately, enjoy the vibe, and keep working. The simplicity of the software also means work happens quickly. There’s enough in the way of beats, drum samplers, software instruments, and effects to keep one occupied for a while. GarageBand takes the complex world of music production and streamlines it into a basic, welcoming package with a gentle learning curve. ![]() Simplicity is the major selling point here. That is, before later renouncing the platform as far too limited. Case in point: Claire Boucher, also known as Grimes, recorded her breakthrough album Visions using nothing but GarageBand. It’s both loved for its simplicity and loathed for its limitations. The last couple of versions have seen GarageBand come to resemble a diet version of Apple’s flagship DAW, Logic (discussed below). Not every DAW on the planet is mentioned here, so feel free to add your preferred programs in the comments below! Onwards, upwards, and in no particular order: GarageBandĪrguably the most popular DAW ever created, GarageBand comes free with every Macintosh computer and boasts a simple, clean interface. What follows is one muso trying to be fair and fun about a topic that’s full of myths, tribalism, and a bit too much seriousness. I should disclose that I’m deep in a ten-year love/hate relationship with Ableton Live (I teach the free Live Clicks and Backing Trackscourse on Soundfly on how to use Ableton for on-stage electronic syncing and processing). I’m also friendly with REAPER, suspicious of Pro Tools, and really intrigued by Logic Pro X and Studio One 3. At some point you need to dive in a build a relationship with your DAW, mastering its peculiar perks and quirks. The reality is that it’s hard to be a jack-of-all-trades with recording software. I’ve tried a bunch of DAWs in my time and I’m always looking for a cool new thing. It’s about choosing the one with the workflow and atmosphere that makes you feel at home and gets your songs where they need to be. Just like there’s no guitar that will suit all guitarists, there’s no platform that will be right for every producer. The quality of your mix will come down what you put into the DAW which is why making the right choice for you is so important. But basically, any DAW you choose will deliver the same audio transparency and clarity. If you’re really interested in this (and why wouldn’t you be?) this article is a great introduction to the science behind this topic. Without diving deep into the complex, fascinating, and heady science of signal processing, all major recording software is now able to sample using at least 32-bit floating point calculations. In the interest of doing just that, I’m going to deal with a controversial point straight up: There is very little, if anything, that differentiates DAWs in terms of pure sound quality. Part of my job is to help you cut through all the post-truth out there and make the right choice for you about where to lay your precious tracks. It’s no surprise then, that much like the fights that people have over Nintendo/Xbox/Playstation or iOS/Android, the world of audio production is rife with software fan service and forum flame wars (harmless, of course, but they can be quite harsh!)… It’s the bridge of your musical Starship Enterprise, containing and co-ordinating all the software and hardware you use to create and communicate each of your decisions. ![]() ![]() Whether you’re working out of a home studio or a small project studio, your Digital Audio Workstation (or, DAW) is probably the single most important part of your setup. This post originally appeared on Flypaper by our friends at Soundfly. ![]() 7/22/2023 0 Comments The arms compendium![]() Arms T20 was over tuned, T21 is about average as far as all tier sets are concerned, and you missed the point that Arms now is better than Fury was then, and neither specs were/are bad. that beeing said i was fine with the removal of SOME of the warrior skills that have bloated out bars over the years, but not iconic skills like rend, avatar. it is lazy and unimaginative from a design point of view. Quite frankly, removing baseline skills from the last expasions and forcing them into "talent" tiers is not good nor interesting developement. anger mangement is merely a thing of number crunching. ![]() add utility to a legendary effect such as ashbringer's stun? probably neither. make ayalas more fun again? hardly aswell. ![]() I'm not even going to touch the more outlandish suggestions.bloats the base of the rotation? you mean a rotation that uses 2 buttons every 5-20 seconds is not in dire need a bloated base rotation? what do you consider outlandish? bladestorm as a ST skill? well you could argue against it and i am fine with your argumentation, yet not even close to outlandish. If you want "more active" shorter cooldown gameplay, I'd suggest you go try Fury. Aside from the fact that it'd require a whole host of new talents which may or may not unbalance things, it severely bloats the base of the rotation. Making a whole bunch of things baseline isn't good for anyone. I'm not even going to touch the more outlandish suggestions. balance other numbers accordingly (read: lower numbers) add some utility mechanics to warbreaker such as creating a ring mobs cannot pass through for a short amount of time while players can, adding some CC/utility to its boring effect increase ayalas procc chance again but lower the rage used by it (i am fine with the overall damage but not with the procc chance) give bladestorm a relevant single target increase like fervor of battle does with whirlwind so it is a useable ST cooldown (the primary target of bladestorm takes XX% more dmg from bladestorm) make anger management baseline, reducing cooldowns by promoting active gameplay is a great way to add spice to a specc make overpower baseline and let it be a procc that is powerful but not overuseable How easy it would be to make arms fun again. from absolute top tier and insanely fun to play at the start of the expansion to the worst and most blantant specc since vanilla in the end. not that the dps difference would be relevant on a non progress casual specc that arms now has become. pressing one or two executes per minute feels so utterly underwhelming, i am hard pressed to switch over to battlelord and enjoy some FR play again just for the sake of fun. there is zero to none synergies with our set after ayalas has been stomped into the ground 2 or 3 times. While ToS offered fun interactions with our legendaries and sets, we are now back in a state were we just wait a minute (yawn) for a mediocre dmg cooldown while not doing anything (outstanding) the rest of the 55 seconds. ![]() we've been top 4 at the start of antorus and now we are closing in to bottom 4.ĭesign changes that makes arms not fun playing at all. The main problem with arms is it has very mediocre scaling and gets dumped down a spot each week of antorus since the opening of the raid. after all it is a freaking bladestorm, why wouldn't it be stronger (lorewise) than other ST skill.Īlso i made up my mind to make arms more appealing and came up with the following ideas: Prior to Legion it was never used on ST either, and nobody had any complaint the bigger difference is that Legion introduced Ravager, so you don't end up using Bladestorm for AoE either.thats what i meant, the fact it is not worth using as a ST skill feels like a design flaw to me. ![]() 7/22/2023 0 Comments Best 9mm ammo for competition![]() Accuracy was among the top of the rounds that we tested that day, and ironically enough they were the fastest all-metal projectile that our chronograph recorded with a 10-shot average of 1,447 fps. It’s a unique principle because it dismisses velocity as the primary component in the stopping power equation.Īlthough they looked strange to the user, the magazine and chamber didn’t seem to think anything of them as we popped more than 100 of these downrange without a hiccup. This solid-copper bullet is built to stay together through even the hardest barriers and push fluid outwards when it makes contact with something living. Can you imagine what it would be like getting hit with a Phillips-head driver bit flying faster than the speed of sound? If I didn’t know better, I would think that was the very inspiration for Underwood’s Xtreme Defender projectile. Underwood Xtreme Defenderįirst up was the Underwood Xtreme Defender. Other than packing the car with a Caldwell G2 Chronograph and some Clear Ballistics 10-percent FBI gel, there was nothing more to do before hitting the range. Because iron sights are soooo 2015, I mounted a Riton 3 Tactix MPRD red dot and quickly co-witnessed it with the iron sights. But which one? 9mm barrels typically range from 3-5 inches so I decided to go with something that landed in the middle with Canik’s new METE SFT with its 4.46-inch barrel. Top Dog 9s: Battle Royal Among Best 9mm Self-Defense Ammoīeing that I had to trade a kidney for my test samples, I needed to keep testing confined to just one pistol. As there is a chance that you could be staking your life on it one day, we decided to make it one of this year’s “Ammo Match” features and bring you eight of our favorite 9mm self-defense loads. While practice ammunition can be purchased with very little thought, defensive ammo not so much so. ![]() So it remains realistic to practice with the very gun that you carry. As it is also a NATO round, inexpensive (usually) practice fodder can be found at just about any gun store shelf. It strikes the balance between stopping power and recoil that defenders have been seeking since long before its creation. Leaving a 3 star review without evaluating a product takes away from this means to help each other out.Versatile by nature, the 9mm Luger has grown to become the most popular handgun cartridge in the world. Reviews are a great way to help other consumers make informed decisions. Leaving a 3 star rating and saying I have not used this product unfairly lowers the overall rating of high quality products. Or, withhold making a review until you can adequately speak on the product. Use the product and leave an accurate review. Please do not leave 3 stars and say I have not used this product. ![]() I want to address a growing trend I see, primarily in firearms related views. I have had no failures with this ammunition and have fired thousands of rounds in training. It shoots clean and I appreciate Federal making the effort to reduce barrel wear with the synthetic jacket. For those who make great efforts to train like they fight, this ammunition is a great way to duplicate how their personal defense ammo will shoot. The weight and velocity of these rounds closely matches the Personal Defense HST Micro 150 grain 9mm rounds.
7/22/2023 0 Comments Disney female face shapes![]() ![]() It was thought that she would be another species of sea creatures, such as a rockfish or lion fish, or would have a snake-like appearance, as revealed in The Disney Sketchbook. In the original story, the sea witch is a neutral enabler, but for Disney's animated adaptation, the character was modified into a full-fledged antagonist and plays a larger role in the overall story.ĭuring pre-production, Ursula was not originally designed as a Cecaelia a legendary hybrid of human and octopus. Ursula is based on the "sea witch" character in Hans Christian Andersen's story " The Little Mermaid". Ursula is aided by her two moray eels, Flotsam and Jetsam, whom she refers to as her "babies". From her secluded lair, she awaits the chance to get her revenge on Triton and become Queen of Atlantica by stealing the king's trident, an extremely powerful weapon that grants its user control over the seas and its foils. Ursula laments her distaste for her living conditions, despite having maintained all of her powerful black magic. These polyps were merfolk who had previously gone to Ursula for help but found themselves unable to fulfill their side of the bargain, leading Ursula to claim them as her own and adding them to her collection. By orders of the King, Ursula was exiled from Atlantica and made her home in the remains of a leviathan lined with a garden of writhing polyps. Ursula's greed and use of dark magic led to her banishment. She was widely known as the "Sea Witch", an alias she accepted in stride. She boasts that her previous life was lavish and included such spoils as "fantastical feasts." Power-hungry and devilish, even in the past, Ursula garnered a disreputable reputation amongst underwater dwellers. She states through a monologue that she once lived in the royal palace of King Triton, the king of the underwater city of Atlantica. Ursula belongs to a race of creatures known as Cecaelia, which are half-woman, half-octopus. 7.7 The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure.5.4 Disney Princess: My Fairytale Adventure.4.4 Poor Unfortunate Soul: A Tale of the Sea Witch.4.2 The Beast Within: A Tale of Beauty's Prince. ![]()
