Price of shadow rider calyrex vmax11/25/2023 ![]() ![]() Any Resistance is appreciated, and -30 might actually come in handy. Unfortunately for Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX, its Weakness has also proven to be dangerous. We have no baseline Calyrex cards with which to compare, but yes, Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is still beefy!ģ20 HP is 20 higher than the “smallest” Pokémon VMAX and 20 lower than the largest… and on other cards, has proven suitably durable even when factoring in being worth three Prizes. ![]() You may have noticed I didn’t mention the HP boost that Pokémon VMAX usually receive. SW – Chilling Reign introduced some new support for Psychic Pokémon, in the forms of Fog Crystal and Old Cemetery, so I may have been selling them short the last few reviews. We still have a few older archetypes kicking around, like Mewtwo & Mew-GX variants, plus somewhat newer stuff like Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX, where exploiting Psychic Weakness should come in handy. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is a type, which seems to vary between “decent” and “very good” in terms of type matching. Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX is also a Dynamax form, but even though it says so on the card, no mechanics deal with that right now. The name also reminds us that this is specifically the VMAX version of Shadow Rider Calyrex, worth three Prizes when KO’d, unable to use beneficial effects that say they exclude Pokémon V or Pokémon VMAX, vulnerable to deleterious that target such cards, and able to tap into that tiny bit of VMAX support. It has that oddly timeless quality of trying “too hard” to be cool… but dorks like me will fall for that every time. ![]() It is stupid, but one of the things I love about this card is its “Shadow Rider” name. Top three time! Shadow Rider Calyrex VMAX (SW – Chilling Reign 075/198, 204/198, 205/198) is our third-place pick. ![]()

Anna nicole smith skyscraper gif11/25/2023 ![]() ![]() “Lads won’t be disappointed,” enthuses another. Instead, Skyscraper exploits the presence of its leading lady in every way it can – and a quick glance at the critical notices on the DVD cover give you an idea of the level of its ambition: “Ms. Huber as the main villain – better known these days as a politician in his native Germany. Aside from Smith, the biggest star in is Richard Steinmetz, best known from US soap operas, Brank Cikatic, a former kickboxer from Croatia, and Charles M. Poor Anna Nicole Smith doesn’t have any of this in Skyscraper. The advantage Anderson had, though, was that her movies tended to pair her with some not entirely terrible production values and more established actors as co-stars – Raw Justice also featured Stacy Keach, while the $9 million comic book adaptation Barb Wire also had Xander Berkeley and Udo Kier to lend support. Around the same time, another actress and former Playboy model, Pamela Anderson, was also making action movies with the likes of Raw Justice (1994) and Barb Wire(1996). Skyscraper, meanwhile, asked Smith to shoulder a whole movie on her own – a potentially daunting prospect, but not an entirely improbable one, given that Smith had co-starred in the action sequel To The Limit a year earlier – a film also directed by Skyscraper‘s Raymond Martino. ![]() Second, it asks former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith to pick up a gun and become a high-kicking ’90s action heroine.īy the mid-90s, Smith had already made the jump to the big screen with appearances in such films as the Coen brothers’ The Hudsucker Proxy and comedy sequel, Naked Gun 33⅓. Skyscraper distinguishes itself with two major changes: first, it tries to remake Die Hard with roughly the same budget as an episode of the old TV soap, Dynasty. For one thing, it doesn’t even attempt to put the “one unprepared hero versus the bad guys” concept in a new setting instead, it basically lifts the entire plot wholesale from Bruce Willis’s 1988 hit, and even attempts to restage some of its major action set-pieces. Skyscraper was surely the most brazen – and sauciest – Die Hard clone to emerge from that whole strange period. Keanu Reeves bulked up for the surprise hit, Speed (the one on a bus) in 1994. Sylvester Stallone broke a run of box office disappointments with Cliffhanger (the one on a mountain) in 1993. Steven Seagal scored a decent hit with Under Siege (the one on a warship) in 1992. ![]() Back then, we were in the midst of a Die Hard clone epidemic – movies that attempted to copy its single-location thriller template to varying degrees of success. So too, it seemed, did the makers of another film called Skyscraper, this one from the distant year of 1996. ![]()

Use of multani mitti for hair11/25/2023 ![]() ![]() As a good absorbent, it removes dust, dirt, impurities, stains from the surface, and replenishes the shine of the marble. In the Indian subcontinent, it has been used for centuries to clean marble. The material was used in the tornado sequence in The Wizard of Oz as the artificial twister plowed its way toward the farmhouse. Fuller’s earth is also widely used by the make-up, props, wardrobe, and set dresser departments, because it is considered “clean” dirt, safer to use around people and it cleans up easily. It is also safer than naturally occurring soil, should the blast spray hit actors. In the area of special effects, it is used in pyrotechnics explosions and dust clouds, because it spreads farther and higher than most natural soils, resulting in a blast that looks larger. There is a lot of usage of Fuller’s Earth in the film industry. This brew included water, urine, soapwort and this clay.

So the name is directly derived from “ clay from Multan” and is known popularly as Multani Mitti. ![]() And today in this post, I am going to discuss about top 20 benefits of multani mitti or fuller’s earth on skin and hair.įuller’s Earth more popularly known as “Multani Mitti” in India is a gift of nature for hair and skin care. ![]() The moment we think of natural products for beauty and skin care, the first name that comes to our mind is Fuller’s Earth.

Gigi goode crystal methyd relationship11/25/2023 ![]() But, she is the only queen to have won those three challenges, plus the reading mini-challenge, all in a single season. She is the first queen to win Snatch Game, the Ball Challenge, and Rusical (Followed by Shea Couleé). Daya is the second contestant with the last name ‘Betty’ to appear on the show, following Acid Betty. Daya is the first openly Type 1 Diabetic contestant on RuPaul’s Drag Race. ![]() Are Diabetty and Crystal Method related?ĭaya is the drag daughter of Crystal Methyd. Is Bianca Del Rio Latina?īianca Del Rio (Season 6) Bianca Del Rio is the first Latina queen to win RuPaul’s Drag Race and the title of “America’s Next Drag Superstar.” She is of Honduran and Cuban descent. ![]() ![]() There’s only one queen who’s broken those rules, and another whose actions outside of the show get her disqualified. Competing on this series comes with a few rules. Only Two Queens Have Officially Been Disqualified From ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ in the Show’s Over 10 Years. How many people have been disqualified from RuPaul? Her official reason for being kicked off Drag Race Season 4 was that she was sneaking her husband into the hotel during filming. Willam Belli is the only queen to be eliminated from Drag Race for breaking the rules. She would later be followed by Miss Gimhuay of Drag Race Thailand (Season 2) and Sherry Pie of Season 12. Willam is the first queen to ever be disqualified in Drag Race herstory. Related: Drag Race producers reveal how queens are picked for All Stars.Who has been disqualified from drag race? They’re going to compete against fiercer competition, all at the height of their careers.” The challenges are a little harder and we expect more from them…. “They know that they’re going to be tested and scrutinized in a different way. “When people waffle about it or don’t feel they’re ready to perform at their best, I don’t think that makes for the stiffest competition or the most authentic work room experience. “Committing to do an All-Stars season, it’s a commitment. I appreciate when a queen says she’s not ready,” Salangsang explained further. Salangsang, who’s been with Drag Race since season four, said the team are interested in the queens who are “going to come in on this platform and take advantage of it,” and the ones who are “going to give a great show for us.” It’s people we want to see and watch on TV competing against one another.” “We know who’s interest in coming back, and that’s something we look at: Who really wants to play? Who has experienced a real glow-up? We start throwing names out. “We track the queens and their careers and stay in touch with them as they’re conquering the world,” Salangsang told EW. Mandy Salangsang, co-showrunner and executive producer, said the process for picking the cast is based on their career trajectory after their original season and whether they can provide the entertaintment factor. The team behind RuPaul’s Drag Race recently spilled the T on how they select queens for All Stars. Last month, Jaremi Carey – formerly known as Phi Phi O’Hara – said he ‘knows the cast’ for the upcoming sixth season, telling fans over Twitter: “They film shortly, they have to fly out to quarantine them for 2 weeks.” I want to wait until I’m a different drag queen, do you know what I mean?” “I don’t want to do All Stars 6 and I’m probably not going to do All Stars 7. The thing is, I want to do All Stars, but only after my drag has evolved and changed. However, she did add: “ I had no interest in doing All Stars, and then I was kind of shocked and surprised at how many people wanted to see me there. Of course, when we had the chance to chat with Gigi, we asked her about Crystal’s comments, to which she responded: “ I was just texting her about that actually! She was like, ‘Okay, so here’s the plan…’ I was like, ‘Alright girl, let me know where I need to be and I’ll be there.’ Honestly, down. I was like, ‘Let’s just both go on All Stars and then we’ll do another double crowning.’” When we spoke to Crystal about her inevitable comeback, she told us: “Oh my goodness, it’s so funny because I was just joking with about that. ![]() Naturally, fans have wondered whether both Gigi and Crystal – aka Crygi, the most championed drag couple in HERstory – will follow in the footsteps of past contestants and return to the series for All Stars. The latter ultimately beat her to the title of America’s Next Drag Superstar and hundred-thousands doollahz after three legendary lip-sync smackdowns for the crown. The 22-year-old performer made her Drag Race debut on the 12th season earlier in 2020, where she made history as the third contestant to win four maxi-challenges on a regular season after Sharon Needles and Shea Couleé.Īfter 11 gruelling weeks, she won a place in the top three alongside Crystal Methyd and Jaida Essence Hall. Gigi Goode won’t be sashaying back into the werkroom anytime soon. ![]()

System of a down chop suey drums11/24/2023 ![]() The variety of timbre throughout the song is my favorite. In the bridge, the chaos of the distorted guitars and intense drums is combined with the (once again) Gregorian chant-like harmonies to make a haunting tone that is full of angst. It all blends over smoothly in the chorus, when the vocals utilize two harmonies over a clear guitar and easier drums. ![]() The verse is staccato and almost sharp at first, with the silence between chords and words. The intro starts out simple, with a guitar and drums that slowly build up towards the climax, a climax that seems to drag out over the chaos of the verse. Then, there is the heavy distortion of the guitar, open hi-hat of the drums, and the yelling in your face. There is the slower strumming and arpeggio chords of the guitar along with the clear vocals. There is the electric guitars and the acoustic guitars. I would like to say that there are two main tone colors in the song. However, the tempo is the same throughout the song. The impact that the strumming of the guitar has along with the drums make it seem as if the song is rubato, speeding up and slowing down in transitions of the various sections. The form seems chaotic, it sounds like there is a key change from chorus to verse and also a tempo change. Between each section of the song the singer goes from frantically yelling to singing a eerie Gregorian chant like harmonies. The intro utilizes the same chord progression as the chorus, however the verse sounds like a key change and contrasts them both. This is a very basic What makes the form interesting is how distinct each section of the song is. There is an intro, verse one, chorus, pre-verse riff, verse 2, chorus, pre-bridge riff, bridge, outro. “Grab a brush and put a little makeup/ Hide the scars to fade away the shakeup” Form The emotional journey that the song takes you on is mesmerizing. It was definitely one of the songs that made me fall in love with the band and their frantic music. Personally, this was one of the first songs that I heard by SOAD. It is the band’s most popular song with 252,616,326 plays on Spotify and 671M views on YouTube. The song is off of their Toxicity album in 2001. Thus, the band decided for Chop Suey. Allegedly, because the Chinese stew describes their musical style with lots of stuff thrown together. Furthermore, McKenna writes, “though most popular rock acts avoid political screeds, SOAD is full of ’em.” SOAD not only sings about political topics, but they also create awareness for topics they are passionate about.Ĭhop Suey was originally titled Self-Righteous Suicide ( Grow, 2016), however the record company disagreed. According to Dave McKenna, SOAD’s music is “far more complex than most metal.” (2005) By this he means more than just their composition in music but also the lyrical message they communicate. The band formed in 1994 by Serj Tankian (lead vocals, keyboards), Daron Malakian (vocals, guitar), Shavo Odadjian (bass, backing vocals), and John Dolmayan (drums). ![]() They will be able to correct your technique before it becomes habit.īy all means, stay after it, but master the basics before moving to the more technically demanding.For my second musical analysis I have chose Chop Suey by System of a Down (SOAD), an Armenian-American band from Glendale, CA. ![]() If you can get into some lessons with a flesh-and-blood teacher, do. My advice would be to put in more time on a practice pad, working on evening out your strokes. This indicates to me that your technique needs a good deal of work. The strokes are being forced through your limbs rather than flowing through them. Your wrists, in fact your body, seem stiff. ![]() Hits are not of even volume where they need to be, and tend to pile up on top of each other at times. These things all take lots of time, experience, and money.įrom what I can hear, you have the basic structure of the song figured out, but your playing is uneven. To be honest, you don't seem to have any of that going at this time. I know that getting a good sound from acoustics takes a lot - decent drums and cymbals, proper tuning, and proper micing. It's very hard to get past the tone of the drums to critique the playing on this one. Never one to hold back when pressed, here you go. ![]()

Rush limbaugh funeral services today11/24/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() When he was in elementary school, he received a toy radio as a gift. His family was deeply steeped in conservative politics, and relatives included lawyers, judges and ambassadors. Years later, he told listeners that as a child he knew his ambition was to be a radio star. Limbaugh was born in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, on Jan. The year Newt Gingrich became speaker of the House (1994), he gave Limbaugh an honorary membership in (the Republican caucus in) Congress because of his influence." Limbaugh: From a Missouri family steeped in conservative politics "He was able, at a granular level, to affect elections. "The reason is his show was heard in every congressional district in the country, and certainly every state, by a huge number of Republicans who almost entirely made up his audience," Chafets said in an interview with USA Today. Journalist Ze'ev Chafets, who wrote a 2010 biography of Limbaugh, ranked him among the top five most influential Republican voters in the 1990s, a decade that saw the party begin its hard-right pivot. "At a time when the very future of radio and its talent pool could very much be on the wane in terms of cultural relevance and prestige, he raised it to a level of importance on a par with the most influential media platforms and players of our time.” “Limbaugh’s radio talent and dedication to the medium are unparalleled in the modern talk industry," Harrison told USA Today. Michael Harrison, founder and publisher of Talkers trade magazine, which covers talk radio, said Limbaugh was controversial but also powerful. "We don't know who will succeed Rush as America's anchorman, but we do know that nobody will ever replace him." "Rush is the GOAT - of radio, of conservative media and of inspiring a loyal army of American patriots," the governor wrote in a statement he issued on Twitter. Ron DeSantis on Wednesday lauded Limbaugh as the greatest of all time in conservative media. Gaines called Limbaugh "a total original, a one-off." He hugely influenced America for years and will be not only missed terribly, but is irreplaceable, period!" He was deeply patriotic and the most sincere patriot I have ever known. He gave me my first iPhone in 2007 and every one I have owned since. ![]() He just wanted to be one of the people having fun or playing golf."Īnother friend, island resident Gay Hart Gaines, said: "Rush was the kindest, most genuinely generous man I have ever met. "It's important to understand Rush was a gentle man who loved everyone, no matter what your affiliation was," he said. He truly was a wonderful human being, and his death has left a huge hole in our hearts. ![]() You know me, I'm the mayor of Realville."Ī die-hard supporter of Trump to the end, Limbaugh was among Trump's proponents in his failed effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election with baseless claims of voting fraud.įriend and former Palm Beach Town Council member David Rosow said while Limbaugh had "outlived all doctor's expectations - he had the strength and will to do it. He added: "It's not that I want to fool anybody, it's just that I don't want to burden anybody with it and I haven't wanted to. "This day has been one of the most difficult days in recent memory for me," Limbaugh said that day. 3 of last year when he stunned listeners of his radio show with the news that he was seriously ill with advanced lung cancer, a diagnosis he said had been confirmed by "two medical institutions" the previous month. Limbaugh's health again surged to the forefront on Feb. ![]()

Roof ice dam removal11/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Do not add roof vents. This includes powered vents.Do not remove ice with chippers, chemicals or heat. These can damage shingles, gutters and other building components, and could also lead to personal injury.Do not install heating cables. They can shorten the life of your roof and needlessly add to your energy costs.But in the meantime, the Department of Commerce does have a few suggestions on what not to do if you find yourself the unhappy owner of a brand new ice dam: Oh, and snow removal can also prevent other weather-related calamities, like your roof caving in due to the sheer weight of all that dam(n) snow.Īgain, snow and ice dam removal is a dangerous task, one that is best left to professionals.
