![]() ![]() That and any cake I run into similar issues with, or since I enjoy making new things all the time, cakes I'm not interested in executing again. There's a Pistachio Cake that's apparently quite popular, but ordering the necessarily Agrimontana Pistachio Paste resulted in failure so I won't list that cake. Pistachio cream made with Feudo San Biagio pistachios, an ancient feud from the Platani river valley, in the heart of Sicily. I'll need a minimum of 2 weeks notice though I am not likely to know if all the ingredients are readily available until I reread the recipes. This isn't something I'm interested in doing for money or for a party I can't attend, but I'd love the excuse to bake any of these cakes once or twice. I can't pull something off like the Arnold Palmer Cake I baked in an early blog entry without an event in mind.Īnd so here's a list of the cakes in the MMB cookbook that I am willing to bake for events and birthdays if I like you enough. Another upside: it's only about one-third the price of the paste.I can make all the MMB pies and cookies I like, but the same is not true of their cakes. Just don't expect it to deliver the intensity of pure paste, and don't substitute in recipes that call for paste. It'd also be delicious mixed with mascarpone and stuffed into cannoli. As it is made only from pistachios, pistachio paste tastes exactly like pistachio kernels with earthy aftertaste. ![]() It is 100 pure and depending on the type of pistachios used, it can change from green to brown.

To celebrate one famous flocking, the Madison, Wisconsin, Common Council declared the plastic pink flamingo the official city bird in 2009. Sold in pairs, with one standing tall, the other with head lowered to eat, flocks of these fowl are often used as a prank, planted onto lawns as a surprise greeting to the homeowner. Recently, two teenagers in Gillette, Wyoming, allegedly pilfered over 140 gnomes before they were nabbed.įlamingos are newer, introduced in 1957 by Don Featherstone, an artist who worked for Union Products. Though Travelocity’s gnome mascot travels the world willingly, most gnomes are victims of pranksters who steal them to send abroad. From there, the gnomes caught on, with societies promoting them and fan clubs devoted to ‘freeing’ them. Gnomes became popular centuries ago, first being produced in Thuringia, Germany, by Philip Griebel, who based his sculptures on local myths of gnomes helping gardeners at night. “Our older generation may have put them into the garden with a straight face, but now – particularly with pink flamingos – people are doing it tongue in cheek, as a means of irony.” Brian Ott, Visiting Professor of Media Studies and pop culture expert at the University of Colorado, Denver. “The appeal of gnomes and flamingos lies precisely in the fact that they’re tasteless art,” says Dr. But love them or hate them, they’ve carved a niche in garden lore. These cheerful, brightly colored statues are beloved by many others, such as Britain’s Royal Horticultural Society – organizers of the premier Chelsea Flower Show – ban them for life. Those that adore one usually scoff at the other the few who festoon their gardens with both are looked upon as needing to change their medication. These pillars of pop culture are adored by gardeners, unlikely legends that spark passion in people. ![]() On February 11, Walt Disney studios is releasing a new movie, Gnomeo and Juliet, bringing to the big screen two icons of the garden, superstars with devoted fans across the globe: garden gnomes and pink flamingos. ![]() ![]() So, yeah I guess those Mustang boxes are kinda doing the same thing.the horror.darn fine amp though, even if the box has little cartoon horses on it. Reviews Guitarist Fender Mustang I & II review Two new modelling amps with a familiar name 108 159.99 By Simon Bradley ( Guitarist ) published 16 March 2011 MusicRadar Verdict For vintage-flavoured practice or home noodling, these are genuinely impressive amps that recreate some of Fender's greatest moments. I'll bet some of those kids showed up late so they didn't have to put up with Hendrix. That's why Hendrix's management had the JHE open up for The Monkeys !! They wanted younger kids running out and buying the records, even though that was a TERRIBLE combination. With 100 watts of power, the Mustang III V.2 is ready for any size venue. All this superior sound is pumped through a single 12' Celestion speaker. s very light and portable and has a nice carrying handle that. These knobs are sturdy and feel nice to turn. Remember Black Sabbath's 2nd album cover.LOL. The Mustang III V.2 packs pro-level amp modeling, effects, and artist preset sounds into a high-performance amplifier that can take all the abuse your tour schedule can dish out. Fender amp models are very impressive indeed. Their album covers weren't for the over 30 crowd.you weren't supposed to trust anyone over 30 back then. Early Led Zep, Black Sabbath, Alice Cooper, Van Halen, Journey and Hendrix to name a few. There's a few things that are marketed toward kids that I like. All are very impressive and great at different things so I certainly have nothing bad to say about any of them. HD500/DT50, Elevenrack, RP360XP and a Zoom G5. Help other music gear aficionados by sharing your opinions of gear youve purchased. You can also inject all this juicy guitar sound. Member Messages 2,780 1 As you may or may not know I've been trying out a lot of amp modelers lately. This product doesnt have any review media yet Share Your Thoughts. The easy-to-use Mustang I V.2 serves up over three dozen amazing digital effects, but it's also a modeling preamp with an entire collection of amps at your fingertips. Yup, same thing with the Mustang, take it home and turn down the effects, or better yet, go to the end menu, grab a bare bones amp model and build your tone from there. The Fender Mustang I V.2 modeling combo amplifier gives you robust amp modeling, awesome guitar effects, and tasty artist presets. Hey, if your paying for a color TV, CRANK up the color and get your money's worth.īut you know what? You take the TV home and turn down the color. The Fender Mustang I V2 is a compact 20-watt amp well enough to practice at home. (serial CGPK15007594) It is in very good condition showing some minor cosmetic wear (please refer to photos). I'm old enough to remember when TV stores used to crank up the color on their TV shelf displays. Fender Mustang II V.2 40-Watt 1x12' Modeling Guitar Combo 2013 - 2016. We have for sale Fender PR824- Mustang I V.2 Modeling Combo Amp. They over killed the effects on the presets to show off what they can do. So what about these "cool effects?" Well, Fender is right. I didn't know the Mustang box says "cool effects" My Mustang was a window display so the box got tossed.DANG IT !! Now I wish I had the box. ![]() ![]() I think we'd hear less of those " it's waaaay too complicated dude" type comments. That's why they didn't put this amp in a cabinet that looks like a Fender Ramparte.įor us older players, I think that would be COOOOL if they did. We enjoyed the un-fussy simplicity and interesting sounds, and most importantly, it made us want to keep playing! This part of the market features some strong competition, but the ‘Stang has proved itself once more.The box? Unless you plan on setting the box up on your stage, I wouldn't worry too much about it. ![]() By Fender’s own description, it’s aimed at beginners and students, and while the feature set here isn’t crazy compared to some late-2019 offerings, what it does, it does very well. There are some meaty higher-gain emulations on offer too, and they’re equally as impressive at times as the more ‘Fender-y’ tones.Įffects vary from utilitarian compression and gates, through to some more exotic sounds such as an octaver, an auto-wah and some surprisingly high-quality delays and reverbs.Ĭall us luddites, but we think the Mustang LT is pitching itself perfectly. But the LT isn’t just about clean or pushed sounds. ![]() ![]() It is defined by its distinct symmetry, where two sides of the triangle are of equal length, and the remaining side is different in length. Īn isosceles triangle is a fascinating geometric shape that possesses unique properties and characteristics. The base angles of an isosceles triangle, which are the angles opposite the two equal sides, are themselves equal in measure. These equal sides are known as the legs of the triangle, and the third side is known as the base. DefinitionĪn isosceles triangle is a type of triangle that has two sides of equal length. In this article, we will explore the defining features, properties, formulas, and practical applications of the isosceles triangle, providing a comprehensive understanding of this remarkable geometric shape. ![]() See more information about triangles or more details on solving triangles.Read more Triangle Proportionality Theorem – Explanation and Examples Look also at our friend's collection of math problems and questions: ![]() What can be the area of a right isosceles triangle with a side length of 8 cm?

You can also use the given sides and angles to find the area of the triangle using Heron's formula or using trigonometric functions like Sin or Cos. Once you find the sine of angle A, you can use the inverse sine function (arcsin) to find the measure of angle A in radians or degree. By solving this equation you can find the value of cos(C) and then use the inverse cosine function (arccos) to find the measure of angle C in radians or degree.Īdditionally, you can use the Law of Sines to find the measure of the angles, the formula is: Where c is the length of the non-congruent side, a is the length of the congruent sides, and C is the measure of the angle opposite side c. If you know the lengths of two congruent sides (a,a) and the length of the non-congruent side (c) of an isosceles triangle, you can use the Law of Cosines to find the measure of the angles. To calculate the properties of an isosceles triangle when given certain information, you can use the Pythagorean theorem, the Law of Cosines, or the Law of Sines. An isosceles triangle is a triangle where two sides have the same length. This calculator calculates any isosceles triangle specified by two of its properties. ![]() ![]() ![]() This gives the music a much richer timbre. Fortunately, the music was rearranged and higher quality instrument synthesizers were used. However, only 15 of the original 37 tracks were used. The music for the Jaguar port was taken from the original Wolfenstein 3D (DOS) and Spear of Destiny (DOS). However, due to the lack of commercial success of the Atari Jaguar, the version of Wolfenstein 3D for this platform may not have had a significant impact compared to other versions of the game. In short, Wolfenstein 3D was ported to Atari Jaguar in 1994, offering a similar gameplay experience to previous versions, but with improved graphics to take advantage of the console's capabilities. Although Wolfenstein 3D was an outstanding title at the time, it is possible that the Atari Jaguar version did not have the same relevance as on other platforms. It is important to note that the Atari Jaguar was not as commercially successful as other consoles of its time, and many of the games released for it failed to achieve the popularity that was expected. ![]() However, compared to the PC versions and other more powerful platforms, graphics and performance may be inferior. It takes advantage of the graphics and sound capabilities of the Jaguar console to offer a more immersive experience. The Atari Jaguar version of Wolfenstein 3D features improved graphics compared to previous versions of the game. This version has good sound, although John Carmack did the Doom port as well although this one did not include base music, Wolfenstein 3D did load it with everything and well adapted to the console as it was due and of very high quality. They ended up releasing a version of Doom for Jaguar, but without in-game music. This was because the team at id Software wanted to see if they could port Doom to Jaguar. If you've played the Jaguar version, you'll notice that it bears a striking resemblance to Doom (especially the weapons). The player assumes the role of William "B.J." Blazkowicz, an American soldier who finds himself trapped in a Nazi castle and must fight Nazi enemies and mutant creatures while trying to escape. It retains the gameplay and first-person perspective of the original game. ![]() At the end of each main section there is a big bad boss to fight. You have to shoot your enemies from a first-person perspective, collect treasure, ammo and health, and find secret doors. ![]() However, the cost of these increases meant smaller maps, fewer levels, and enemy sprites that cannot rotate.Īs in the original, you play a World War II prisoner trying to defeat a group of Nazis. The graphics have higher resolution and the sound is of higher fidelity. The Jaguar version of Wolfenstein 3D is closer to Macintosh port than to the original DOS. Wolfenstein 3D in Japanese ( ウルルフェンシュタイン 3D - Urufenshutain 3 D) is a port of the Macintosh computer version for Atari Jaguar, developed by id Software, ported by John Carmack and released by Atari and Mummin in Japan, in collaboration with Imagineer in 1994, premiering a new enhanced engine exclusive to the console to be released with Doom (JAG) which was programmed at the same time.

The perimeter is the sum of the three sides of the triangle and the area can be determined using the following equation: A = Examples include: 3, 4, 5 5, 12, 13 8, 15, 17, etc.Īrea and perimeter of a right triangle are calculated in the same way as any other triangle. In a triangle of this type, the lengths of the three sides are collectively known as a Pythagorean triple. If all three sides of a right triangle have lengths that are integers, it is known as a Pythagorean triangle. The altitude divides the original triangle into two smaller, similar triangles that are also similar to the original triangle. h refers to the altitude of the triangle, which is the length from the vertex of the right angle of the triangle to the hypotenuse of the triangle. In this calculator, the Greek symbols α (alpha) and β (beta) are used for the unknown angle measures. Their angles are also typically referred to using the capitalized letter corresponding to the side length: angle A for side a, angle B for side b, and angle C (for a right triangle this will be 90°) for side c, as shown below. The sides of a right triangle are commonly referred to with the variables a, b, and c, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides. In a right triangle, the side that is opposite of the 90° angle is the longest side of the triangle, and is called the hypotenuse. ![]() Right triangles, and the relationships between their sides and angles, are the basis of trigonometry.

Most of these game modes can be played individually once you unlock them from the campaign. Most of the missions revolve around these themes but there are some others like derby, checkpoint race, escorting your mate, killing the convoy, chase, etc. Game modes include territory control, survival, planting a bomb and team deathmatch. On successful completion of the primary objective, you earn bounty, unlock new cars, unlock new game modes, and unlock new maps and modes for versus mode. The game offers a campaign mode that has 19 missions, and each mission has primary and secondary objectives. Not all the weapons deal damage and some of them will either throw opponents or topple them, allowing you to plan your attack. The game features 30+ concept cars and here comes another first these cars are equipped with melee weapons, so no run-of-the-mill rocket launchers or machine guns, but brutal plungers, blades, saws and some geeky weapons like a magneto repulsor. The game features 10 maps ranging from small arenas to big huge levels, giving you an opportunity to try different things. Another important point is that it's not a mindless fun jaunt and you can't proceed without planning your attack or without having a strategy in place. What makes Smash 'N' Survive stand out from the rest is that all the weapons and their behaviours are so unique. Various maps have catapults, crushers and other objects which you can use to kick trash and annihilate your opponents. This tornado is only one such environmental weapon which you can use to your advantage. Smash 'N' Survive features several innovations like a physics-based tornado where you can push your enemies or get pushed and "juiced" in those destructive tornadoes. The core gameplay of Smash 'N' Survive revolves around vehicle combat and it seems like it's the season of vehicle combat revival. ![]() ![]() While that isn’t much compared to some games, the quality of some of these mods are top-notch. From what I’ve seen, there are 52 mods in total on the Steam Workshop. T here is almost always matches available to play with a multiplayer community that is alive and well.Ībove all else, my favorite aspect of Running with Rifles are the mods that are available. A friendy squad and enemy team of all living and breathing humans adds yet another layer of quick and tactical thinking. The multiplayer is a fun mechanic that relies heavily on teamwork. There is an assortment of SMGs, LMGs, rifles and snipers to be mixed and matched to suit a preferred class of soldier. The maps are varied enough save from repetition and most battles feel like a new experience. Although it can feel a little repetitive every now and again, those moments are few and far between. The above situations make combat extremely engaging, as the combat zone becomes a guessing game of the enemy’s next move. They have all the same abilities as the player, even the ability to call in airstrikes or request reinforcements. This also applies to the enemy forces, creating a double-edged sword. They aren’t top-notch NPC by any means, but they are smart enough to heal fallen allies and give cover fire while only sometimes getting caught behind an obstacle. Unlike many shooters, the NPC in Running With Rifles aren’t worthless cannon fodder. In Running with Rifles, it is advised to take the high ground whenever possible. Finding the high place to shoot from is a much more effective option than trying to shoot through a dirt hill. Hitting an enemy isn’t as simple as “aim the crosshair where you want to shoot.” Weapon spread and obstacles, both natural and man-made, will almost always get in the way of the enemy. While this is a top-down shooter, the environment isn’t 2-dimensional. But it won’t last long, trust me.Ī perfect example of the aforementioned “nothing is as cut and dry as it seems” is the shooting mechanism. The Rambo inspired players can try Man vs. Want to take a tiny squadron and go head-to-head with an army? There’s a quick match for that. ![]() There is the campaign mode, which spans multiple game modes on a variety of maps, or there is the option of quick matches, where customized scenarios can be made. Run, hide and take cover often, but don’t try to play hero on this battlefield. Unless there’s a vest handy, it will only take a couple of shots to hit the dirt. In Running With Rifles, the player is just as expendable as the NPC, so don’t expect to last long going in guns blazing Rambo style. The vanilla game surrounds an ever-growing and never-ending conflict between the Greenbelts (American), Graycollars (German), or the Deadpool approved Brownpants (Russian). Running with Rifles is an absolute slaughter-fest, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. It looks like a cute and simple top-down shooter the reality, however, is that nothing about this game is as cut and dry as it seems. “OMG Grenade,” I exclaimed, as I got blown up by a grenade.Īt first glance, it’s easy to get fooled by this game. This was the first time I died in the line of duty, but not the last.
