Blueharvest grade book1/17/2024 When you look into the bears crescent moon mirror, you see your self reflected without want, and as you look the bears energy replaces the consumer, with the generous individual, the individual who wants not.ģ. the ill i attempted to combat is consumerism, wanting more, muchness, conspicuous consumption.Ģ. I really enjoyed this class and have learned a lot and still have more to learnġ. But I imagine I will have time enough to correct the errors I made, and to observe some more… either over the summer or next year. And not pleased with the areas that weren’t. I am pleased with that which has been well observed. I found that I learned a lot about slowing down and really observing shape value, and shade, and shadow. I am not exactly pleased with my final product, but then again, I never feel like anything is completed. I suppose it all comes back to be being stoic, remaining the same externally regardless of inner turmoil.Īnyway, I found this project difficult to do because of my general dislike of looking at me, I much rather look at someone else, At least then my own bias is limited. To be quiet frank, I never liked looking at myself, Not because of my appearance, but because I find the outside of me never reflects the inside. We are works in progress and yet our work is finite, the artist is forced to stop working on it, and thus, the portrait is limited to a small period of time. The portrait could look exactly like someone, but it would always be missing something. I find that self portraits tend to be inaccurate no matter how good the artist, or how captivating the style. Perhaps, the self portrait is a reflection of our pride, our hubris. I am a constant critic, looking for faults in myself, finding some faults that do no not exist and others that I augment and others that I over look. Sometimes people view themselves in an overly harsh light. Most people view themselves differently from the way everyone else does. Self portraits represent the disconnect between our personal realities and the reality we all share. If I were to take a snapshot of my mentally constructed me and the actuality of who I am, They wouldn’t line up. We must face the reality, that our perception of what we look like is often wrong. looking at one’s self forces us to look at what is and what isn’t. Indeed, I would say I felt incredibly stoic throughout this whole project. So doing this portrait made me feel stoic, in a good way, the kind of stoic you feel when you are reflecting back on your life, your hardships, and sufferings.The human face can be as easy to read as a book, but still one seldom knows what lays beneath the eyes, or expressions that others wear.

Owners of the vehicle give it 4 out of 5 stars. If you think your timing chain components are failing, be sure to inspect all parts of the timing system for damage and wear to determine the source of the problem before making your repairs. According to the experts at Kelley Blue Book, the 2016 Chevrolet Equinox scores 3.5 out of 5 stars. Signs of a bad timing chain or timing components include metal shavings in your motor oil, whining, buzzing, whirring, or rattling noises coming from the engine, engine misfires, backfires, or your vehicle may jump time and struggle to start or run at all. This can negatively affect valve timing and ignition, and may cause a variety of engine performance issues. If the timing chain becomes stretched, it may lead to engine noise and jump timing, meaning that the relative position of the camshaft and crankshaft sprocket falls out of specification because a tooth on a sprocket has been skipped. Maintaining consistent levels of the right kind of motor oil and completing regular oil changes can help lubricate and protect your vehicle's timing chain and sprockets to prevent corrosion, stretching, and damage from metal-on-metal contact. Timing chains are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and demands, but need proper oil levels as well as a healthy tensioner and chain guides for proper chain-to-sprocket tooth fitment and operation. Timing chain sets usually include the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets, timing chain, and any guides, rails, or tensioners necessary for a complete timing chain replacement. Description: Used 2016 Chevrolet Equinox LTZ with Front-Wheel Drive, Parking Sensors, Power Liftgate, Heated Seats, Keyless Entry, Fog Lights, Side Airbags, Keyless Ignition, Power Doors, and Satellite Radio. Over the life of the vehicle, or due to low oil levels, the timing chain, sprockets, or other parts may suffer wear and need to be replaced. Mileage: 100,200 miles MPG: 22 city / 31 hwy Color: Black Body Style: SUV Engine: 4 Cyl 2.4 L Transmission: Automatic. Timing chains were most common on older vehicles, but continue to be used even in modern vehicles as they provide the most durable timing solution with minimal maintenance. A gear on the crankshaft drives the camshaft sprocket(s), allowing the camshaft to open and close the valves during the proper piston stroke to start and run a vehicle. The timing chain serves as a link between your crankshaft and camshaft(s) to assure the rotating assembly and timing components of your engine are in time.

I don't know if other dealerships wash cars everytime you bring it in, but this one does. So, they pulled my car up and guess what? It's not washed. Needless to say, they removed the charge and apologized, only because the room was filled with other customers. Which I do think that is the problem, they are/were trying to take advange of me. Humm they thought I was a witch on the phone, well I can imagine what they thought now with an entire room of people waiting to pick up their cars too and another unhappy guy there and he was loud, I was at least trying to still be a lady. Well, there was no need for that because they were going to hear from me one more time when I got an invoice - $55.00 to analyize the problem. When I got there to pick it up, they were all sneaking around to see the witch they were subjected to on the phone. So, I told them to please have my car ready for me to pick up this afternoon. Well of course, I got no where with him either. He said ok, I just thought I would try and I will have the GM call. Did I not just tell everybody I was waiting for the new body style. Duh, because you are trying to move cars in this economy. But before the GM called me I get a call from the Sales Manager wanting to sell me a 2009 and they will sell it to me at their Employee Discount rate. So, I ask him to ask the General Manager to call me. He said my offer is what it is we will pay half with no labor costs. So, I spoke directly to the Service Director and told him the situation and he said he understood but the car is way out of warranty and I corrected him and told him the car is only 2 months out of warranty and I would not be having the SAME problem for the past 3 years if you would have replaced the transmission in the first place. The best they could do was split it with me. Of course he had to go to his Service Director. When I heard this, I let my "advisor" have it. Now that the vehicle is out of warranty (just went out in April) GUESS WHAT? It needs a new transmission. So, my car was taken into Lexus 4 or more times complaining about the transmission and they kept telling me it was the GAS I was putting in it. However, my car is completely maintained by Lexus including all oil changes (big rip off twice as much as a Jiffy Lube) and I am sure they are laughing all the way to the bank. I have the SUV RX330 which I would be trading in this year but the new body style comes out next year 2010 and wanted to wait. It could be the dealership, WILDE LEXUS OF SARASOTA (FLORIDA). So unhappy that I will not purchase another one. Well, first of all let me say that I have owned six (6) new Lexus' and this is the first year I have been unhappy. taskbar icon was missing when starting via shell extension in 3rd-party file managers under Windows 11 using Standard installation.saving cover to local file did not work anymore when importing from Tag Sources (since 3.12c).MusicBrainz tag source issue when parsing joinphrases.changing cover properties did not work when auto-saving in some cases.updated Chinese-CN, Corsican, Czech, French, and Hebrew translation.use placeholders for current cover at action Export Cover.optimizations regarding memory usage when refreshing a filtered file list.next sort doesn't invert order in case files were added to the file list.extended quick actions to remember previous inputs.display format string syntax errors in preview field of converter Tag - Tag.added workaround for non-null padding bytes for INFO subchunks in WAV and AIF.added support for editing track-specific metadata in tracks list at Tag Sources confirmation dialog.added option to manage the list of filter expressions, including named filters and descriptions for filters.added option to manage list of format strings at converters 'Tag - Filename', 'Filename - Tag', 'Text file - Tag', and 'Tag - Tag', including named format strings and descriptions for format strings.added note if running 32-bit or 64-bit version to about dialog.It’s Mp3tag’s 22nd anniversary today Additional Features and Fixes New Features Download the new versionĪs always, thank you for reading, your interest and your support.

The recommended path is to uninstall the 32-bit version before upgrading - the uninstaller has an option to keep your configuration settings, but please backup your configuration settings via File → Save configuration anyway. Mp3tag 64-bit can only be installed on 64-bit versions of Windows. Edit: Mp3tag v3.17 now also contains a 64-bit version of TAK. But I’ve heard a 64-bit version is in the makings, so I'll add support when it's available. This DLL is unfortunately only provided as 32-bit version at the moment and 64-bit processes cannot load 32-bit DLLs. TAK is a closed-source codec that is made available in Mp3tag by utilizing a DLL. The 64-bit version has no support for TAK. While the Library feature of Mp3tag is already a very viable solution for large libraries, loosening the memory restriction is one of the key benefits of 64-bit. The 64-bit version uses 64-bits to address memory and is no longer limited to 2 GB per application. To make it short, there should not be any noticeable differences except for two things: Mp3tag now comes in two versions, the existing 32-bit and a new 64-bit version. User-interface and tagging are fully Unicode compliant.I've just released Mp3tag v3.15 and wanted to outline some of the new features and changes: Support for 64-bit Generate nice reports and lists of your collection based on user-defined templates.

However, not everyone may want to create a Facebook account to access its messaging app, Messenger. AdvertisementsĪ Facebook spokesperson explained that “the vast majority of people who use Messenger already log in through Facebook,” so the reason for this change was to “simplify the process.” However, we all know that this doesn’t simplify the process for anyone apart from people who already have a Facebook profile, so we can only assume that Facebook has other reasons for this move – ones it’s not telling us about.As social media usage continues to grow, many people are joining Facebook to stay connected with family and friends. However, you can still use credentials from your deactivated Facebook profile to use the messaging app. As of December 26th, you need an active Facebook profile to sign up for Messenger.

Since our last review of Affinity Designer (Version 1.10.1), Serif has packed in plenty of updates and improvements. You can learned a lot from dissecting the work of others. Upon opening either the iPad or desktop version of the app, you have the option to download and explore sample artworks from talented professional users. The Affinity Designer community is active and engaged, which provides another level of insight and support. In the app itself, you also get contextual hints and built-in help that makes it a lot easier for new users to get going quickly. Learning, Help, and CommunityĪffinity Designer offers substantial support for its users, including a YouTube channel full of inspirational tutorials created by product experts and pro users. On desktop versions, you can create your own toolbars and toolbar layouts, reorganize your floating or docked panels, and save custom workspaces (as you can in Adobe Illustrator). You can rearrange tools and panels, create your own key-command shortcuts, hide your palettes if you tend to get messy, and even adjust the colors and sizes of the interface-buttons too. One of the stand-out interface features is the ability to customize to your heart’s delight. The iPad version of the app is developed thoughtfully to maximize the benefits of touch, gestures, and Apple Pencil input. Layouts and illustration work can live on multiple (and unlimited) artboards, any of which can be saved as a template for easy access from within the home screen. If you're familiar with Adobe Illustrator or other vector graphics editors, you'll feel close to home with Affinity Designer. The UI is well-organized, and the tools are easy to locate. The first thing you notice when you launch Affinity Designer is its modern-looking, intuitive interface. You’ll also find in the Affinity Store free and purchasable content like cool brushes, assets, and more. You can create your Affinity ID and register the software from within the app (with an internet connection). You can buy the single app (or the three-app, cross-platform Universal License) through the Affinity.store website, Mac App Store, or Windows Store. iPad Pro and models 2017 onward, running iPadOS 15 or later, are supported. PCs must be running Windows 10 or later, with a 64-bit processor, hardware GPU acceleration, graphics card, 8GB RAM, and 1GB drive space. Macs need to be running Catalina or later, with an Intel processor or Apple’s M1/M2 chip, 8GB RAM, and 2.8GB drive space. Nothing unusual is required to install and use Affinity Designer on multiple platforms. Affinity Designer 2 System Requirements and Setup The lowest price version of CorelDraw is Essentials ($155), though it's from 2021. How do these prices compare with other graphics software? They're certainly more attractive than Adobe Illustrator's subscription model ($20.99 per month) or CorelDraw's higher upfront cost.
Fhp traffic homicide reports1/15/2024 It’s likely, though, that the FHP investigator handling the Rampp-Cutler case was forced to divert his attention to the crash that occurred two days later on the southern tier of A1A, where the driver of a speeding car veered off the roadway and fatally struck Michael Gianfrancesco, who was walking his dog near his home in The Dunes community. He said the investigator working last May’s car-versus-bicycle crash “got assigned to another case,” but he didn’t specify which one. “We’re trying to play catch-up, but as everyone knows, the traffic in this area continues to increase, which increases the number of accidents, including fatalities,” Sapp said. He said his station had been operating with only two homicide investigators for months until a third investigator was assigned in August. Lucie, Martin and Okeechobee – where Sapp said there are 65 open traffic homicide cases. Troop L is responsible for policing the state roads, including interstate highways, in four counties – Indian River, St. Sapp said he hopes to see the investigation formally closed and the report, which is still pending administrative review, released for public inspection within the next couple of weeks, after the FHP homicide investigator handling the case returns from maternity leave. “The driver probably will be cited for a traffic violation,” he added, “but nothing has been issued yet.” “I don’t see anything about pending test results, so I don’t expect our findings to change. “From what I’m looking at, there’s nothing in the report that would deem the driver’s actions as criminal,” FHP Capt. However, the FHP captain assigned to Troop L’s Fort Pierce station said he has read the report and the investigation found no evidence the car’s driver, John Joseph Rampp, committed any criminal offense. Nine months after John’s Island resident Carl Cutler was fatally struck by a car while bicycling along the northern tier of Highway A1A, the Florida Highway Patrol’s traffic homicide investigation report still hasn’t been released to the public.
