![]() All of the filters you create in Filter Forge are resolution independent, so they can be scaled to any size. If the thousands of textures and effects aren’t doing it for you, the company maintains an online library of free filters submitted by users. Stocked with 12,447 different textures and effects, you can mix-and-match these various components in the plugin’s filter editor. You can add Perfectly Clear as a plugin to Lightroom, Photoshop (including Elements) and PaintShop Pro.Īs the name suggests, Filter Forge is a Photoshop plugin for building your own filters. The software has been recently updated to add a number of presets and film looks which can be applied with, you guessed it, one click. Additional corrections include eye enhancements, sharpening, noise reduction, red-eye removal, teeth whitening, skin smoothing and more-all done with a click. Fixes include restoring color, clarity and depth, black point corrections and the company’s “Perfect Exposure” tool which makes individual pixel corrections to eliminate washed out colors and clipping. ![]() Packed with automatic image correction algorithms, Perfectly Clear can quickly apply edits across a range of image parameters. It’s available as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop. ![]() Geographic Imager also lets you create mosaics from a selection of individual images and retains spatial reference data as the images are pooled together. You can import or export elevation data tied to the image as well as export Web Tiles that can be used for online mapping services like Google Maps and OpenStreetMap. It supports a variety of spatial image file formats and lets you use Photoshop’s suite of editing tools on them while constantly and automatically updating the spatial properties of the image (which is important for images where precise measurements are required). ![]() Geographic Imager makes it easier to work with geospatial images in Photoshop. The Collection includes seven different tools. The Selective Brush tool has been made fully operational and you can also now modify filters and dynamic objects to your heart’s content. It’s also more stable, with support for the latest macOS, and it is integrated with DxO’s auto update engine. Rescued from Google’s benign neglect by DxO, the Nik Software Collection has been updated to support the latest versions of Photoshop, Lightroom and Photoshop Elements. PortraitPro Body 3 is available as a smart filter for Photoshop and as a plugin for Photoshop Elements and Lightroom. Using the plugin, you can adjust a subject’s build and height, contour their body, correct their posture, smooth skin and remove blemishes, and even adjust facial expressions and facial lighting. For those just getting their feet wet with PortraitPro Body, version 3 has an enhanced interactive tutorial mode which lets you test your skills and tells you which portions of the software you’ve mastered and which you still need to work on. It features a new Warp Fixer that lets you adjust bodies without distorting the background image. The latest update to Anthropics’s body retoucher, PortraitPro Body 3 adds deep learning and image recognition technologies to make automatic body selections in a fraction of the time it took to make manual selections in version 2.

When done right, it is a timeless watch that’s about as masculine as you can get. But never EVER wear a Casio G-Shock with a suit ha ha view the lineup of discount G-Shock hereĪ Rolex watch is the brand everyone knows about, but it can also come off in two ways. Celebrities and rappers have been wearing the G-Shock for years. This is one of the most rugged timepieces you can find. On the other hand, wear it with a formal shirt and you’re a man that knows nothing about fashion. Wear one of the Pathfinder watches and it says you are a guy who likes going outside and getting things done. It’s a brand to show off your money while incorporating America’s rich history in watches.Ĭasio has two sides to it. With so many designs inspired by the military, this brand is hip once again. This is a watch that garners respect, the same respect that the brand gained when it led the field in American horology. Founded in Connecticut over a hundred years ago, these watches are mainly made in Asia. We’re going to run through some of the biggest brands and show you what image you are likely to project with each one, thanks to Tic Watches for letting us in their darlington store and have a play with the products! Rather than classy and chic, they find themselves looking like a used car salesperson who had a good month. Take the person putting their new Rolex on a pedestal as an example. Send the wrong message and you can come off looking foolish. To that end, you have to make an informed decision about the sort of watch you want to sport on your wrist. And yes you can get deals on the boat, specially if you have cruise credits to spend(free money).Every watch brand sends a different message. So closing this conversation thanks for all the help. It was by and far the worst off of the islands we visited after Covid, with many of the shops downsizing or closing all together. St Thomas was even more of a shell of it's former self, then even after the hurricanes that came through, before covid. Thomas had almost no availability of new high end watches to speak of, and what I did find was over priced or same as home. Martin had super light traffic in the shops when I was there, and you can for sure see the damage done by no tourist. And got more cruise credits from it as I used my RC credit card to get it, plus no taxes! So I was super stoked on this trip! St. And we got that one for nearly $1,000 less than what I would have spent on it back in Tampa, and about $1,500 less than online listed prices. The second watch I couldn't find anywhere till I got to St. Plus I was able to use my accumulated cruise credits from not selling in over a year to pay for that watch, so it cost me zero. I got one watch onboard the ship for about $800 cheaper than I what I would have paid locally. Well I got two nice new watches on my Cruise last week. If i remember correctly they only carry pre-owned rolex and omegas. the manufacturers warranties are the same as if you bought it at any authorized dealer. Not very important to me so never looked into it. But its possible that the production on those models have ended and for example, you wouldn't find in a tag showroom. not sure what you mean by "old stock" and "modern time-pieces" but watches they carry are still sold at many authorized dealers and websites. ![]() We've bought watches on the Allure a couple of years ago and got a great deal. I would say just about anything inside the Regalia shops is over priced and can be obtained elsewhere for both a better buying experience and price. I have made several high dollar purchases for myself and my wife at AH Riise and Cartier with no problems. No issues at all with purchasing in the islands. ![]() I would say more then likely the display cases are now empty. Before the craziness began with Rolex sports models a few years back you would find cases full of every desirable sports model at AH Riise in St Thomas. There are sometimes a few pre owned Rolex (5 digit Rolex references) but they are overpriced even beyond what you pay grey market at home. You will find the usual suspects as you mentioned with the exception of Rolex (obviously). Not interested in Invicta, Fossil, or other watches offered at the sidewalk sale typically. ![]() Specifically Watch brands I am looking to see are Tag, Rolex, Omega, etc. Has anyone that is into watches seen if they still have old stock available or if they are up to date there stock of modern time-pieces on board since the relaunch into causing? Cruising out on Allure in a couple of weeks, and always looked forward to seeing what "high end" watches they have available in the Regalia shop on board, and at ports of call. Don't know if this pertains to anyone particular. ![]() Animals dumped at our doorstep will be taken next door for legal and ethical reasons. Abandonment is a fact of life outside all pet establishments. Over the years, Last Hope and Hempstead Shelter have worked cooperatively. ![]() Last Hope will have 12 dogs at a time maximum, whereas Hempstead Shelter always has at least 100. It is unfair to compare a municipal shelter like Hempstead (responsible for public safety and animal control) that must take in all strays to a private rescue like Bideawee or Last Hope that can be selective about animals accepted. The Wantagh shelter is in an interesting location, right next to the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, which provides a study in contrast. Visiting and outpatient vet care is still in the planning stage because Last Hope dogs will no longer have a veterinarian as a landlord and neighbor. Operating costs will be much higher now so more fundraisers will have to be added to an already crowded calendar. First, Last Hope relies on donations and grants to finance all programs, including public outreach such as subsidized Fix-A-Feral certificates. The big move, though thrilling, brings many challenges. Peter Lugten and his staff for the care and devotion shown our foster pups over the last six years. By April 1 all Last Hope dogs will be in Wantagh. The ten raised, fiberglass dog runs were a generous gift from the Hymans of Alure Construction years before TV’s Extreme Make-over showed the nation their kindness. Since 2005, the Last Hope Dog Center has been adjacent to Basic Pet Care in Lindenhurst. Babylon.) Last Hope’s Huntington Cat Center will stay open for now the satellite stores will not change. in Huntington while additional cats are showcased inside seven pet food retailers throughout Nassau and Suffolk, the largest being PetSmart in Huntington Station. The main Last Hope Cat Center has been at 581 W. We will become “bi-petual” with the dog and cat volunteers now able to work side by side. ![]() The move to Wantagh brings Last Hope foster pets together under one roof as a full-fledged, or should I say, full-furred, dog and cat shelter. Shelters for dogs and cats have always been separate. Last Hope, founded in 1981, is a grass roots group with various programs manned by approximately 100 unpaid helpers. The Wantagh site gives Last Hope the chance to expand and centralize. After that, the building stood idle except for lending the shelter to Last Hope twice for free feral cat spay/neuter days. They held several adopt-a-thons, re-opening Wantagh on Sundays to promote their NYC and Westhampton pets. Last Hope president Linda Stuurman approached Bideawee right away about renting the Wantagh shelter, but at first Bideawee was uncertain about their future plans. Use of a shelter as lovely as this is a dream come true for Last Hope, a smaller, all-volunteer rescue. The veterinary clinic, once open to the public, had closed as a hospital several years prior. The pet cemetery (where President Nixon’s famous Cocker, Checkers is buried) and learning/ training centers (held in the separate former clinic) remained operational at the 3300 Beltagh Ave. On March 8, 2009, citing decreased revenue during the global economic collapse, Bideawee’s Board of Directors shut the Wantagh adoption center and relocated pets to their Manhattan and Westhampton shelters. This is a wonderful opportunity for Last Hope, rescued pets, and animal lovers all over LI because this spacious facility has been empty for two years. As of April 1, Last Hope will be moving into the closed Bideawee adoption center in Wantagh, leasing most of the first floor to house our dogs and some of our cats. Last Hope Animal Rescue & Rehabilitation is getting a new home. ![]() For a 16-bit platformer score, Donkey Kong Country is at times exceedingly minimalist. Be it to avoid sensory overload or not, most of the time the music subtly establishes a particular mood, rather than underscoring the on-screen action. More often than not, Wise and Fischer react to the game’s immensely detailed, colourful graphics with ascetic music that suggests a very different aesthetic. While Wise and Fischer integrate jazz (and some rock’n’roll) influences seamlessly, the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack shines brightest elsewhere. ![]() While fondly remembered by many gamers, it only makes up a relatively small part of the score. The same goes for the soundtrack’s jazz component as a whole. It’s interesting to note that this lively melody – although now so closely associated with the franchise – really only makes one brief appearance on the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack. The most memorable and best developed incarnation of this influence is “DK Island Swing”, presenting what has become the unofficial Donkey Kong Country theme, reprised on future franchise titles. Where the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack sticks closest to conventions is in its use of vivacious swing jazz to underscore its jungle environment. Mostly though, Donkey Kong Country plays almost like an antithesis to the typically bouncy sound of 16-bit platformers. The soundtrack was one of the very first Western game scores to receive a commercial release – on both sides of the Pacific.Ĭonsidering the lavish, intricate nature of the game’s graphics, as well as its (initial) jungle setting, where would Wise and Fischer take the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack? Occasionally, they play to genre expectations. Fischer – recently graduated from college – on the other hand contributed seven compositions. The latter’s contribution only extended to one track (“Funky’s Fugue”) that Wise converted to run on the SNES. For the first time in Rare’s history, David Wise was joined by co-composers: Eveline Fischer (now Novakovic) and Robin Beanland. While it was the game’s quasi-3D graphics that made waves back in 1994, what has arguably aged better is the Donkey Kong Country soundtrack. More than nine million sold copies later, Donkey Kong Country had become a milestone in gaming history. What set the game on course for domination of the 1994 Christmas season were its ground-breaking graphics. It’s probably safe to say that Donkey Kong Country was always destined to be a blockbuster.

Wachowski’s only semi-direct response to how the pill has been co-opted for two decades by misogynistic and reactionary internet communities (and eventually by professional conservative media) is still just that terse response on social media. For 22 years, there has been a semiotic battle over how to define the ideological import of the thing that Morpheus handed to Neo so that he could free his mind and fly. Wachowski is a prestigious transgender filmmaker whose largest work has become one of the defining cultural and political texts of the 21st century.īut this rhetorical clash between three very different, very famous people was only the latest occurrence in a long and still-active war of signifiers. Ivanka Trump is a member of the family who was in the White House at the time and remains at the heart of the Republican Party. What, really, did the red pill signify anymore? What was it supposed to be telling us about the world? Musk’s Twitter feed is typically defined by his anti-tax, anti-regulatory libertarianism, or by his often overbearing-read: relatable-desire to be loved for posting clever memes. The pill’s symbolic journey has been long and gnarly, and has led to more confusion than clarity. The widely viewed Musk-Trump-Wachowski social media dustup, a collision between celebrities of the industrial, political, and entertainment variety, traveled into territory where those three camps tend to get pretty muddied. The way they were tossing her symbol around was likely a lot different from what she and her sister, Lana, had in mind when, more than two decades earlier, they composed the indelible scene in which Thomas Anderson (Keanu Reeves) has to choose between taking a blue pill, which would cause him to remain who he is in a fabricated reality, or a red one, which would officially transform him into Neo-the chosen one, who alone could take down the grand enslavers and illusion makers. “Fuck both of you,” she replied to Trump. One of the two directors responsible for The Matrix-the film in which the modern concept of the “red pill” originated-Wachowski didn’t appear very pleased with these people, neither in general nor in regard to how they were continuing the strange legacy of her metaphor. Less than an hour later, Lilly Wachowski chimed in. ![]() She quote-tweeted him cheerily: “Taken!” she said. That hunch was then affirmed by the enthusiastic response of Ivanka Trump, whose father became president at least in some minor part because of forces associated with the symbol that Musk was evoking. ![]() ![]() In May 2020, Elon Musk tweeted “Take the red pill.” It was unclear precisely what he meant, but those with enough cultural context had a decent idea of what he was trying to say. ![]() ![]() It was enthusiastically received and became a palette for creative mixologists. 209 started exporting to Spain around 2009. In a curious numeric coincidence, Distillery No. The craze was accidentally started by coveted Michelin-adorned restaurants, where chefs for purely practical reasons were trying to keep their drinks colder in a sizzling kitchen. In a short order, an interesting phenomenon took hold world-wide – the traditional G&T previously served in a tall straight glass started making appearances in the oversize fishbowl-like glassware or a Burgundy-shaped wine glass. Many other European countries have caught the trend, expanding on traditional interpretations of gin & tonic to deliver lively libations. Precise measuring need not apply routinely a server will deliver an ostentatious ice-filled glass tableside the gin pours are generous and accompanied by a personal size bottle of chosen tonic. The near daily “party” typically starts after 10pm and goes well into the night. It’s typically drunk as a post- dinner digestif, a ritual at the end of the meal that often leads to further revelries an inherent part of Spanish lifestyle. The libation was the preferred, behind-the-scenes cocktail at such legendary restaurants as Arzak and El Bulli. The Spaniards are hooked, with even the tiniest bars in small towns boasting sizable inventories of gins and tonic concoctions. G&T gastronomy has gained popularity with local chefs. Herbs and spices such as juniper berries, mint, rosemary, and star anise add aromatic notes. Raspberries and blueberries add succulence. The drinks often incorporate citrus such as grapefruit, lemons, limes, oranges and tangerines. In Spain, G&Ts are often served in massive vessels utilizing esoteric tonics. Classes on how to make a perfect “gin-tonic” abound. There are even tasting groups, where devotees learn to distinguish old-world from new-world gins. In Madrid and Barcelona, G&T bars have sprung up everywhere. Recently, the G&T’s resurgence as a fashionable-again potion for discriminating drinkers has taken Spain by storm. ![]() 209 certainly makes for a perfect gin & tonic, but there is much more… In the age of craft cocktails, many old staples are experiencing a renaissance, with new twists on the old concoctions. Some like to consume it neat, but most prefer cocktails. Distillery No.209 fervently seeks to continue the heritage of a small batch, hand-crafted distilling of spirits made with integrity. From the onset, the aim was to craft a gin for people who are mindful of what they drink. A line of limited production, Barrel Reserve Gins are also produced, utilizing used wine barrels from Napa Valley. Their water comes from the Sierra-Nevada Mountains, the botanicals are sourced from four continents, and the attention dedicated to detail is endless. The Master Distiller, or “Ginerator,” Arne Hillesland, crafts a contemporary, clean, citrusy, floral and lightly spiced gin with a smooth, honeyed finish that has found favor with trade and consumers, nation-wide. ![]() It distills botanicals sourced from all over the world: angelica root, bergamot, cardamom, cassia, coriander and Tuscan juniper berries, to name just a few. This craft gin is distilled from a four column, 1000-gallon, alembic pot still, affectionately named Rosie. The original distillery, (209th in the country) founded in 1882, was located in Napa Valley, but local regulations forced a move to a location friendlier to the spirits business. 209, has resided at Pier 50 for over ten years.

Visit FileForums Hopefully, since it’s been 12 years since the last game, the new technology will let the game speak for itself. While we did get to see some of what looked like gameplay at this past E3, there’s no telling what exactly STALKER 2 will look like until the game is announced. The Xbox Series S, for example, even now, only has 512 gigabytes of storage, which means that the STALKER 2 file size could take up more than a fifth of its memory, even with optimization. Of course, the huge file size may still be an issue with earlier Xbox Series X and S consoles. With plenty of ruins to explore, quests to go on, and ground to cover, hopefully there will be just as much content in the game as there is memory for it to take up, and the game will also use Unreal Engine 5. ![]() The place is abandoned for over a thousand square miles, though unlike in STALKER, the place is not overrun with mutants, monsters, and all manner of horrific experiments and phenomenon.Įither way, for the STALKER 2 file size to be so big really speaks to just how massive the game will be. STALKER, as a franchise, takes place in the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone, the site of the largest nuclear disaster in history. While the console holds nearly a terabyte of information, 180 gigabytes is still a huge chunk of it, even with the ability for people to pick and choose what parts of a game they can download. ![]() However, if you’re playing on Xbox Series X or S, the STALKER 2 file size may give you pause before downloading.Īccording to the Microsoft Store, the file size of the game is around 180 gigabytes, making it an absolutely massive game. STALKER 2, the first STALKER game released by GSC Game World since Call of Pripyat back in 2009, promises to take players back to the horrific wonders of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. ![]() For the Kanso 2 Sound Processor, the battery level offers more specificity and displays a percentage.
