The film left me feeling giddy, with a big smile on my face. It's the best time I've had in a theater in a long time, and I couldn't help but laugh in appreciation of the ridiculousness that was unfolding before my eyes. George Miller has brought back what we loved about 80's action films while also brining new ideas to the table. It's arguably the greatest action film of the 21st century. Fortified in a massive, armored truck, loner Mad Max joins Imperator Furiosa and her band of rebels as they try to outrun a warlord and his henchmen in a. 'Mad Max: Fury Road' has set a new standard for action films. ![]() And it's glorious to behold thanks to the use of practical effects, incredible stunt work and stunning cinematography. One thing that sets the action in this film apart from a good majority of mediocre action films today is that every action the character's make have an affect on them. George Miller has put together some of the greatest, most memorable action set-pieces ever. Now, how about those action sequences? Incredible - exhilarating - jaw-dropping. But in a film loaded with action, it's nice to see a solid narrative. Is the story something we haven't seen before? Not at all. Yes, the film does fill 80% of its run-time with action sequences, but it never gets in the way of the humanity between these characters that Miller has brought to life. Leading up to the film's release, many speculated if this would be just another action film that lacks a solid narrative and motive, but I am happy to say that this is simply not the case. Along with him is Charlize Theron as Imperator Furiosa - a woman who seeks redemption by helping five young '"wives" escape from the film's antagonist. ![]() Tom Hardy takes the reigns this time around as Max - a man of few words who has been hardened by the world in which he lives. ![]() For those who have seen the original films and loved them, you'll fall in love all over again with this film. 'Mad Max: Fury Road' is ridiculous in all the right ways. George Miller returns to live-action filmmaking with one of the greatest action films ever put to screen.

On the picket line, I used a hand warmer on my feet after that hour but never had to resort to using the sleeping bag. In 32 degrees, I need only a light jacket and even my feet stayed warm for almost an hour. In heavy rain, I stay dry - a few drips came through the ceiling but I think that was because I touched the roof in the rain and did not have a roof cover in place. That's not all it can do.I have even put my golden retriever in the pod with me when he got wet and cold on the picket line. (I cut a slit in the floor of the pod so I can put the steering column and the power controls inside the pod - Because I can now zip the front door entirely shut, the pod keeps my hands warmer and the equipment dry.) I appreciate the under the weather pod.it helps me get to work in all kinds of weather. I use this pod to enclose my ATTO mobility scooter for the winter.

Lest you think this is only about the price of fish, the lunch teriyaki/tempura combo has also gone up from $11.80 to $16.80. The most egregious is uni from $10/piece to $15/piece. Some examples: yellowtail from $3/piece to $4/piece halibut likewise from $2.80/piece to $4/piece. Almost all the nigiri by the piece has gone up in price by at least 30% as well. ![]() The deluxe combo has gone up from $50 to $65 the lunch omakase from $60 to $80. Here are some of the increases for comparison: the basis lunch sushi combo has gone from $19.80 to $29.80. A nearly identical meal eaten a year previous had cost $185 with tax and tip. So, what are my reservations about the price? Well, with tax and tip the total came to $258.72. Service was friendly and present when needed. Scroll down for thoughts on service and my reservations about the price. My picks of this bunch were the kanpachi, all three silvery/oily fish, the hotate and the uni.įor a look at the restaurant, menu and what we ate, click on a pic below to launch a larger slideshow. My assortment comprised the following: hirame/halibut, kanpachi/amberjack, hamachi/yellowtail, sake/salmon, kohada/gizzard shad, iwashi/sardine, aji/Japanese horse mackerel (billed as Spanish mackerel on the menu), saba/mackerel, hotate/scallop, Santa Barbara uni/sea urchin genitalia, ikura/salmon roe. The lunch sushi combo included the following: albacore, salmon, kanpachi/amberjack, maguro/tuna, ika/squid, hamachi//yellowtail, ebi/shrimp and tamago/egg. I put together a nigiri assortment for myself, along with some bonus pieces for the missus (uni) and the older boy (ikura). The three lunch combos came with miso soup and salad. He liked all of his food very much and in a shocker particularly liked the salad, or more accurately, the salad dressing: he ate it all!. The younger boy, who thankfully is not as committed to the sushi lifestyle as his brother, got the lunch teriyaki-tempura combo and also got two pieces of salmon nigiri on the side. Please note that I am not complaining.Įverything else was as expected: the older boy and the missus both got an order each of the lunch sushi combo: 8 pcs of nigiri plus tuna roll. But, in fact, we ended up with two large appetizer orders of ankimo, each with 4 thick pieces. Two, I said, thinking that meant we were being offered ankimo in sushi form. She came back and said he would indeed be happy to serve us some and asked if we wanted one order or two. I asked if she could possibly see if the chef would be willing to spare some for pilgrims from Minnesota who are denied such pleasures there. At the time of ordering I asked if they had any and our server told us they did but it was reserved for dinner. What did we eat? We started with some ankinmo/monkfish liver. ![]() It’s a slightly crowded main dining room-there’s also a smaller private room off to the side and a few seats at the sushi bar.

The price, however, was not what we’d hoped/expected it would be-more on this below. Nozomi is an altogether more reliable prospect though and I am pleased to report that our eventual meal there-lunch the next day-was just as good as we’d hoped it would be. But Sun Country screwed us over and we ended up eating dim sum instead at the new Torrance outpost of Lunasia (a meal that was good but not as good as I’d expected it might be). Lunch at Sushi Nozomi was supposed to be our first meal in Los Angeles this December, to be eaten on our way from LAX to Seal Beach. Al Dente & Explicit Joy - Sonic Dialogueĥ.

Italo-Brazilian artist Laura Pretto Vargas makes abstract and figural paintings that explore feelings of vulnerability, happiness, energy, and sexuality. The Translator turns up the temperature – an assembly of oddball percussive elements which skip alongside the warpy bassline and eerie echoes of Scarlett Johansson’s iconic vocal. Foreboding pads swell and deflate amongst skittish percussion to cook up the most off-kilter opener – almost as off-kilter as the Seinfeld episode for which is this track’s namesake – if you know, you know. Setting the overarching atmosphere, Little Jerry is a dark cauldron of bubbling, fizzing electronics. With a collaboration with fellow Naarm-based producer and a harmoniously energetic remix from none other than Montreal’s queen of turbo, Maara / the EP is primed for the most quirky and adventurous of dance floors – and is as bendy as Trent Alexander Arnold takes his corners.

Family, nature, music I learned these things in a tent, in the woods, sitting around the fire pit with the smell of campfire smoke clinging to my clothes. These family camping trips were the lighthouses to my teen years, guiding me back to the principles that I value the most today. Obviously, those were the summers that mattered the most, that had the most impact. Hiking with Papa while he told me which birds were in which trees by listening to their calls? Well, that one I didn’t mind so much. The most tumultuous summers, the ones between ages 12 and 17, I fought going.

And what about apps for those much older Mac OS Classic system software releases for older PowerPC, 68040, and 68030 processors? The following links may be helpful for that purpose, though keep in mind all of these are not officially supported by anyone, they are not sanctioned by Apple or any other developer, and most of the links are to what is considered abandonware software – meaning it’s old, no longer updated, or supported. ![]() ![]() But these type of resources are excellent for working with much older Macintosh computers, whether it’s an original Bondi Blue iMac, a G4 Cube, a Macintosh SE/30, Performa 6220, iBook, PowerBook 2400, or the whole array of pre-Intel Mac computers. These links can also be helpful if you’re a retro emulator fan and you’re wanting to acquire a particular software package or library for local emulation, for example you can use Mini vMac emulator to run System 7 and have an entire old Mac system installation right on top of your existing modern MacOS, or you can use third party tools like Basilisk or SheepShaver for emulation on modern Macs too.

One thing to keep in mind when downloading software packages for much older Macintosh computers and system software versions is that while the software itself is often tiny in size (remember when Photoshop was under 1 MB?), getting those software packages onto the older Macs can be a challenge. Often the simplest way is to start an FTP server on the Mac running a modern Mac OS X release and then using an FTP client like Fetch or Archie on the much older Mac to directly download the packages to the older computer. That would require some local networking however, but if the older Macintosh is directly connected to the internet already they could always just download the package files directly too. And of course the other option is to use physical media, whether it’s an SD card, CD / DVD, an external hard drive with an appropriate adapter, or floppy disks, that’s up to you.ĭo you know of any other helpful resources for finding and downloading old Mac software?
