![]() ![]() By the 31st century, Kyle is considered to be one of the greatest artists in history. He is skilled in drawing, painting, sculpting, photographing, ink drawing, coloring, designing, etc. Artistry: In Kyle’s spare time, he is an artist, which has fueled his creativity for a lot of the constructs he makes.He can snipe a large building from a far away distance and has even made Roy Harper, an experienced marksman jealous of his skills with a bow and arrow. Marksmanship: Kyle’s practice with constructs have made him an incredibly good shot, having great precision and accuracy.One of his best feats is challenging and beating an alien assassin who has slain multiple Green Lanterns and Darkstars. His experience as a Green Lantern has made him used to fighting all sorts of threats from entire fleets of robots or warships to challenging other experienced Lanterns such as Sinestro. Hand-to-Hand Combat: Kyle is experienced in various forms of fighting and hand-to-hand combat.Continuing to act as a peacekeeper for the White Lantern Corps, Kyle continued to help and serve wherever needed, such as joining forces with the Omegas to bring peace to the Vega System. Inadvertently, Kyle would also bring back his evil counterpart Oblivion after journeying to the Source Wall, defeating him by splitting the Life Equation into several portions to create the White Lantern Corps. As a White Lantern, Kyle would come face to face with even more questions and experiences, such as being dragged into a war between Highfather and Darkseid due to Highfather’s desire to manipulate the Life Equation, the source and coding of life itself that Kyle Rayner had found and became one with during his trip to the Source Wall after defeating Relic. Through trial and tribulation, Kyle would become the master of all of the colors of the Emotional Spectrum, tapping into each emotion along the way and finding the love in his heart, allowing him to finally tap into the white light of the White Lantern. In the wake of his events, Kyle would go on to become a charter member of the Justice League of America, going on many adventures such as stopping his parallel evil counterpart, Oblivion.Įventually, after many adventures across the cosmos, including the return of Hal Jordan, the Guardians themselves would seek to wipe out all life with emotions in the universe, forcing all the Corps to unite and help Kyle reach his true potential to weaponize every emotion across the spectrum and stand a chance against the Guardians. Parallax Hal saw this as his way to redeem himself, preventing the Sun-Eater from enveloping the Sun and restoring the Earth at the cost of his own life. Eventually, Kyle would have to come face to face with Parallax Hal, detonating the Green Lantern planet Oa to stop him and later coming back to him to ask him for help to defeat the Sun-Eater, a monstrous cosmic creature the Justice League couldn’t handle. On his first outing, he came face to face with the tyrant conqueror Mongul, who was seeking out Hal Jordan, but opted to kill Kyle anyway, until Superman intervened, the two working together to stop Mongul. ![]() Kyle was unsure of what to do with his newfound powers and went to his girlfriend Alexandra DeWitt, who helped him make a costume to disguise himself. Ganthet, the only Guardian to have survived Jordan’s rampage, found Rayner in LA and chose him to don a Green Lantern ring as the last member and hope for the Green Lanterns to defeat the now insane Hal Jordan. Unbeknownst to Kyle, Hal Jordan of the Green Lantern Corps went on a genocidal rampage after the destruction of his home Coast City, wiping out the Green Lantern Corps along with most of the Guardians of the Universe, who were seen as their leaders/overseers. Kyle Rayner prior to becoming a Green Lantern was a struggling yet gifted self-taught freelance artist living in Los Angeles. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() Thing 2 with a Dalek, which was her favourite because it was orange, her favourite colour. I don’t think any of them know each other. We found three Pikachus ( Pokémon) in the same area, so we rounded them up to take photos with my little Eeveelutions. Thing 1 and Thing 2 with Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch). Even so, I here are some of the most fun costumes that we saw of course, the ones my kids wanted to have their pictures with are ones that they’re familiar with, so Friday’s photos concentrate on kid-friendly productions. Of course, I didn’t notice that my ISO was bumped up ridiculously high until well after the fact - something about wrangling children and costumes in a crowd makes photography somewhat challenging. I brought my camera along to Ottawa ComicCon on the days where my costume would allow it, and I took plenty of photos. Leave a comment Ottawa ComicCon Day 1: My Photos Posted on by owntwohandsblog Posted in Costumes Tagged batman, comic books, comiccon, comics, cosplay, costume, geek, joker, movie, television. (All photos in this post by Richard Dufault Photography, also known as Open Shutter Photography.) At any rate, I don’t think anyone was confused as to who I was supposed to be. I thought final look would be more Jack Nicholson’s Joker than anything else, but in the end I think I looked more like the 1960’s Cesar Romero Joker. The bow and flower were all from Michaels. The striped hose were from an American Mcgee’s Alice costume I’d done years before, and the shoes were just ones I’d had in the closet. (Now it’s actually a little bit big.) I bought the wig at Audrey’s Costume Castle and it was the last one of its kind that they had in stock, so I don’t know the make or model. It was too small for me at the time, but the outfit just screamed “Joker” to me, and I hoped that one day I’d fit into it. I bought the ugly purple ladies’ suit years ago at Value Village for about $10 I’m pretty sure it was originally a mother-of-the-bride dress from the 1980’s. This was my easiest costume of the weekend, since I assembled the pieces instead of making them.

Right now they’re talking Legend of Zelda instead, which I totally approve of, but it would be so much easier if I already had one of the costumes done this far in advance. ![]() I really hope that this costume turns out well if so, I might be able to persuade my kiddos to do a group with me for the next ComicCon. (No giving it away for those I’ve already told in person!)Īt any rate, I think that this view will be my life for the next few days. Even so, I’d be surprised if anyone can guess exactly what this mash-up costume will be. I’ll be re-using some stencils from a few years ago and, if you know the movie that part of this costume is based on, these motifs might give it away. What I will definitely say is that it’s definitely not what the pattern designers had in mind. I don’t want to come out and say what it’s going to be just yet, because I’m not a hundred percent sure that I’m going to get it done in time. I’m adapting two McCall’s patterns: M7225 (Misses’/Men’s Cape and Tunic Costumes) and M7229 (Men’s/Misses’ Nativity Scene Costumes). I’d made a similar costume before, how hard could it be, right? I’d like to say that they dragooned me into cosplaying with them, but I kind of volunteered. Some friends of mine had these great mash-up Halloween costumes this year, and they’d mentioned at a party this season that they’d like to upgrade them for a mini convention coming up this month. ![]() ![]() ![]() During the procedure the right atrial appendage was the only viable location. The patient was scheduled for an atrial lead reposition to restore AV synchrony. 2 In this case study, ablation and subsequent fibrotic processes proximal to the lead tip are the probable causes of the conduction delay and eventual loss of capture. ![]() 1 It is important, particularly for patients with ventricular pacing indications, to consider atrial latency when programming the pacing mode and optimal AV delays. Typically, such delays occur due to significant scarring which slows conduction in the immediate vicinity of the pacing lead. The presence of an under sensed atrial arrhythmia with high grade AV block is possible, however her atrial tachycardias had previously demonstrated reasonable AV conduction so this was also unlikely (Figure 3).Ītrial latency can be described as a delay between atrial pacing stimulation and surface ECG p waves. Following every atrial paced event, p waves are not apparent on the surface ECG which suggests loss of atrial capture and effectively rules out complete heart block and further atrial latency. The atrial threshold test demonstrates loss of atrial capture. The most likely cause of heart failure decompensation in this case is loss of AV synchrony. What is the most likely cause of the heart failure decompensation based upon this pacing follow-up? The atrial threshold test can be seen in Figure 2.įigure 2: March 2021 Atrial Threshold TestĪ: Device EGMs with lead II, B: 12-lead ECG. On interrogation, no arrhythmia episodes had been recorded and RV thresholds were normal. Despite a high dose IV with furosemide, weight loss plateaued prompting a device check.

During this procedure, a focal AT was identified proximal to the position of the right atrial pacing lead and ablated. A third ablation was performed in 2015 for symptomatic atrial tachycardia (AT). In 2013, she had a surgical atrial septal defect (ASD) closure and bi-atrial dilation had been seen on echocardiography.

You can see how bad it was in the photos. In additional to the usual dents and dings, rust had eaten through the rockers, the lower rear quarter panels, and trunk extensions on both sides of the car. Steve and Molly are both handy with a welder, which was a good thing as the Thunderbird needed a lot of rust repair and metal work. of torque gets routed to a Ford 9 inch axle with a Moser Engineering third member fitted with 3.25 gears and an Auburn Gear limited slip differential. The engine’s 460 horsepower and 420 lbs.-ft. It comes with the ECU and wiring harness, Boss 302 alternator kit, starter, bellhousing, billet flywheel, and clutch kit for a (relatively) easy install. The Module mates a production Gen 3 5.0L engine to a 680R six-speed automatic. Speaking of power, Mom’s T-Bird gets a Ford Performance GEN 3 Coyote 5.0L Power Module. The benefits-a much stiffer car that allows the suspension to work properly and can handle more power than the original 352 FE made-more than outweigh the extra work. “We had to make all the structures on the bottom of the car to make it safe and strong.” “There has been a whole lot of adapting and troubleshooting,” Molly Gursky explained. Adapting the ’59 to the new chassis meant cutting out the floor, transmission tunnel, and subframe assemblies and building a new underbody structure. The 1958-60 ‘Squarebirds’ have a unibody design with the sheetmetal structure acting as body and chassis. That meant some serious metal surgery was required to mate car to chassis. The decision was made to go with a Scott’s Hotrods and Customsfull frame chassis that has custom-built front and rear coilover suspension and Wilwood disc brakes. Steve and Molly’s idea was to keep the T-Bird stock-appearing on the outside with a modern chassis and drivetrain underneath. They wanted to make it safe and comfortable for cross country travel while not having to stop every 50 miles for fuel.” “They asked us what it would take to bring it back to her former glory and add a little more "oomph" under the hood. “When the family got in touch we were thrilled to hear the story behind this car,” Molly Gursky explained. The car was mostly summer driven and stored for the majority of its life, so it was complete when it arrived at Driven Restorations in late 2018. The Thunderbird faithfully fulfilled its duties for three decades until mechanical issues forced the family to park it the early 1990s. The Colonial White car was purchased in 1961 for the current owner’s mom to use as a daily driver, thus earning the name “Mom’s T-Bird”. They’ve built everything from muscle cars to classic trucks, many of which have sentimental value to their owners. Steve and Molly opened Driven Restorations in 2009.

All it needed was someone who properly understood the game to tell me that 1 Dead Space Awakened is the next chapter after 19, and that 2 despite not having completely finished chapter 19, the game decided that I'd done enough of it and so was starting me back in at the beginning of the next chapter, hence Awakened. Thanx oafaloaf, and all the previous correspondents.Īs I often find with computers, we tend to think of how complex they are and look for complex solutions, when often it's something quite simple. So, it occurs to me that maybe the game figures I've done enough in chapter 19 to count as finished!?! The reason I think this, is because in the Awakened folow on, it's given me all my resources, weapons and rig and the last suit I chose from DS3 main game! It seems to be the equivalent of New Game +, but when I've selected New Game + it tells me that I must complete one playthrough to access that?!?Īll very weird and confusing, but I've decided to just play Awakened and leave the actual end of DS3 for now, as I've got all the gear I need to stand a chance in Awakened.ĭon't know if you've got Awakened, or if any of this is useful to you, but it may prove useful to someone out there struggling with this overly complicated game! Now, I notice that in the chapter select section, Awakened is listed as chapter A1, immediately following chapter 19 of DS3. I have found that using the chapter select helps, though it will start you at the beginning of said chapter, so it can mean a lot of repetition! Also, it may be that part of my problem is having purchased 'Awakened', coz in my chapter select section, it seems chapter 19 is the final chapter of the main game, and it felt like it too as I got to the part with the boss monster with yellow eyes that you have to fire markers at, whilst restricted to a small disk that's constantly invaded by Nec's! That's where I kept dying, and after 5 or 6 restarts, I just got bored and frustrated so would quit, expecting to restart at the lead up to that fight, but instead it would restart me at the openong of Awakened. ![]() There is definitely something strange about their saving system.

This topographic map shows the same “Heaven and Hell” section of the Gorge face with the location of each of these waterfalls identified. For the sake of describing them, I’ve attached informal names to the most notable cascades (which I will explain, for better or worse). But beginning with Dalton Falls on the east, the composite photo reveals a total of seven unnamed waterfalls that can now be clearly seen in aerial images. Mist Falls is just beyond the left edge of the panorama and Coopey Falls just beyond the right side of this view. ![]() The following panorama is stitched together from several of these aerial photos and reveals a labyrinth of deep canyons and cliffs that make up the “Heaven and Hell” Gorge face, between Devils Rest and Angels Rest: With much of the once-dense forest canopy burned away, waterfall lovers can finally see just how many waterfalls have been hiding here. The Eagle Creek Fire and the State of Oregon’s aerial surveys that followed have pulled back the curtain on this area. This is has been the main argument against this waterfall being the “real” Dalton Falls in the many debates that have unfolded over the years. In most years, Dalton Falls is seasonal, going dry in late summer. Like Mist Falls, Dalton Falls is a two-tiered waterfall with a total height of 350 feet - not as tall as nearby Mist Falls at 520 feet, but quite tall compared to other waterfalls in the Gorge. The photo below is from state aerial surveys taken after the Eagle Creek Fire in 2018, and shows both the familiar Mist Falls and nearby “Dalton Falls”, just to the west. This is where the confusion begins, as the stream in this canyon does have several small cascades, but nothing that could have been easily seen from below, along the old Columbia River Highway, which seems to argue against this falls being the real “Dalton Falls” Meanwhile, one of the lesser-known waterfalls in what I am calling the “Heaven and Hell” section of the Gorge is quite prominent, and to many waterfall admirers is the rightful “Dalton Falls”. But tucked between Coopey Falls and Mist Falls on this old map is “Dalton Falls”, shown to be flowing from a prominent canyon on the east flank of Angels Rest (then “Fort Rock”). Multnomah, Mist Falls and Coopey Falls are also shown, and still carry their original names (Mist Falls is one of the few landmarks in the Gorge that still carries a name given by the Lewis and Clark expedition). But nobody seems to agree which waterfall is the real “Dalton”.Ī closer look at a 1916 touring map (below) published when the original scenic highway opened in the Gorge shows this area in detail, including a few name changes: “Fort Rock” is now Angels Rest and the domed butte at the top center-right edge is Devils Rest, which forms the headwaters of well-known Wahkeena Falls - then known as “Gordon Falls”. At least one of them, Dalton Falls, is named. I think our kids would like that part of the hike.Hidden in plain sight near the west entrance to the Columbia River Gorge are a string of waterfalls that flow from the slopes of Devils Rest and Angels Rest, yet are virtually unknown. If we had our kids with us we would hike to the waterfall and bridge and then turn around. Many of them didn't go the whole way up though. I wouldn't take small children though a lot of people did. We did take our time going up and took lots of pictures along the way. We took about 2 hours to get up and 1 to get down. We packed a light lunch and enjoyed our time at the top. We did make it to the top and the view was beautiful. We were quite sore the few days after the hike. I wonder if there were more rocks on the trail than usual due to rock slides with the fire and rains. The rock covered areas were difficult on the feet and calves. It was a 1600 ft elevation climb so pretty much uphill going and downhill returning. I thought it was a difficult hike, not moderate. The hike was very pretty and it had a variety of terrain which I like (rocky, dirt, rock covered). I think it is usually crowded but with so many trails still closed due to the fire it is probably more crowded than usual. The trail was much more difficult and crowded than we expected. We chose Angels Rest because it was considered "moderate", had a waterfall, and of course the beautiful lookout at the gorge. My husband and I are not hikers, but we do enjoy the occasional hike and checking out the scenery. ![]() ![]() ![]() To be informed about new articles on I Programmer, sign up for our weekly newsletter, subscribe to the RSS feed and follow us on Twitter, Facebook or Linkedin.

Can I work on Scratch 2.0 offline Yes, you can install Scratch 2.0 offline editor and work offline or without an internet connection. The result is that Scratch 2 can now run without Flash and without and internet connection - but only on the Raspberry Pi! It seems to be a good motivation for buying a Pi. Scratch 2.0 Overview Video Creative Computing Lab 3.35K subscribers 1.2K 378K views 9 years ago Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create interactive art, stories. In order to achieve an offline version of Scratch 2.0 for the Raspberry Pi (versions 2 and 3 only) the team took advantage of ScratchX and Electron which wraps up a local web page into a standalone application. However, this still required an internet connection to run, something that many Raspberry Pis might lack given the sorts of roles they fulfill. With the help of Adobe, the Pepper Flash plug in was developed for Raspbian, enabling Flash sites to run in the Chromium browser. This makes it cross platform but, as it was written in Flash, it requires Flash, which was the first problem that had to be tackled to run it under Raspbian. Instead it runs in a web browser and is hosted remotely. One of the advantages of Scratch 2.0 is that you don't download and install it. The beta version of the Scratch 2.0 offline editor is now available Installation (currently for Mac and Windows only) and more information is at Please post any feedback - or bug reports - as a comment below or in the Scratch discussion forum. Up until now the version of Scratch supported by the Raspberry Pi was the original - currently at version 1.4 and while it was one of the most popular pieces of software on Raspberry Pi there were many requests to move to Scratch 2.0. An update to the Raspberry Pi version of Linux, Raspbian, has an unexpected extra - the ability to run Scratch 2.0 locally, without the need for a browser connection, and with custom extensions which allows the user to control the Pi’s GPIO pins. ![]() |
