I love the honesty of Summer '68 in regards to shagging groupies. I love how "If" straight out says "I'm barking but lovely, and so wouldīe very happy if you saw the lovely more than the barking".

I love how the idea of it was to 'find something so not Rock-n-Roll and stick it on there', and yet the music inside turned out to be some of Pink Floyd's most pastoral efforts ever. I love this album from the opening haunt of brass to the final drip. Over to Christopher:Īt the beginning I suppose. To help celebrate it, BD regular Christopher Hughes has been thinking about the album, and shares his views on why, for him, it is such an important album in the Floyd's back catalogue. An album which came together with the help of composer and musician Ron Geesin, the eponymous title track spans one side, with the other side including Floyd classics such as If, and Fat Old Sun.

The heart that truly loves never forgets. – Oscar Wilde Memories play a very confusing role, they make us laugh when we remember the times we cried but make us cry when we remember the times we laughed! Make memories in people’s hearts because your memories will be all that’s left of you when you’re gone. Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us. Live your life so when you’re dying, you are smiling, even if everyone else is crying. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Memory is a way of holding on to the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose. A picture is worth a thousand words, but a memory is priceless. 19 Quotes About Unforgettable Memories (TOUCHING) At some part of life or the other, we all become memories for others. – Rodman Philbrick It’s the good memories that will last a lifetime.

Memories are sweet, cherish it.” What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce. Top 9 Most-Favorited Memories Quotes of All Time My sweetest memories were the ones that hurt the most…. Yes, apologies for asking this rather stupid question: I found it for myself. Are there any special scanning requirements implied by negadoctor in darktable? Or in the equivalent in Rawtherapee (is there such an equivalent?). Later on I will be scanning colour negative film. Is this double scanning a good idea? How does it work? Unfortunately no examples of how to do it are given. So, where and how should I do dust and scratch removal? Steinhoff also talks about scanning in 64-bit RGBI mode, producing a raw file and then rescanning that in Vuescan to remove dust and scratches. I see some advice not to use the dust and scratch removal in Vuescan as this functionality impacts the image quality. The second issue is that the slides have dust and scratches. So, can somebody recommend a suitable set of parameters for scanning mostly Kodachrome, with a few Agfa slides too. I have read both of Sascha Steinhoff’s books on using Vuescan multiple times and just become more confused on how to set it up. The first issue that presents itself is the setting of the parameters (especially on the Input tab) in Vuescan. I will do post processing in either, or both, darktable or Rawtherapee. I wrote up a slide and photo scanning guide for the Epson software–let me know if you need it and I’ll see if I can dig it up.I’m wanting to digitise a large number of 40 to 60 year old slides and lpan to use Vuescan with my Nikon Coolscan V ED, in preference to Silverfast and my Epson V700 (I don’t have a Coolscan driver for Silverfast). A Windows 10 virtual machine will accomplish the same thing. I used a virtual machine with Mojave so that I could scan with the old 32-bit software. I found the 32-bit Epson software’s Digital ICE was much better quality than the VueScan and Silverfast infrared scanning dust removal options, maybe because it didn’t offer parameters so they were forced to tune it to work well from the get-go. The 64-bit Epson software no longer includes Digital ICE, unless they reinstated it since I was doing the slide scanning several years ago. Or live with the dirt, sometimes it’s aesthetically pleasing because it adds some old school charm to the shots. (Or put the non-DI version on top and cut out the areas that don’t have much visible dirt). Then, using Pixelmator or Photoshop or similar, put the Digital ICE version on top and cut out the artifacts to reveal the non-DI version underneath. If using the Epson software you can either scan your Kodachrome slides without Digital ICE, or for the ones that are particularly dirty (even after careful cleaning), you can do two scans: one with Digital ICE, and one without. If you end up using the Kodachrome-iSRD software David C. Yes, looking at the image you posted, the artifacts around the wheel wells and other locations are caused by Digital ICE with Kodachrome. if you have an installation with Kodachrome support, the software will automatically switch in the Kodachrome-iSRD software when you configure it for both iSRD and Kodachrome scanning. Depending on how old your bundled copy is, you may also qualify for upgrade pricing.Īccording to SilverFast, using infrared scratch removal (their “iSRD” option) requires special handling when used with Kodachrome. If you decide you want to keep it, you can buy a license key from their web site, which will permanently unlock all features available on the tier you paid for. You need to go up to the next tier (“SE+”) to get Kodachrome support. The least expensive version of SilverFast (“SE”) does not support Kodachrome. I do have the free version of Silverfast that came with the scanner and hate the UI! I’ll have to see if I can download a demo of the pay version to see if I like it better.Ĭheck out what version you have.

Mikhail Motsak, who described the note from Captain Kolesnikov, 27, whose rank would be comparable to a lieutenant in the American Navy. It was the head of the Russian Navy's northern fleet, Vice Adm. It also raised the prospect that divers would find more notes - perhaps containing evidence as to why the submarine exploded and sank - when and if bodies of other survivors are recovered. And it instantly reignited a national debate over whether the military's attempt to rescue the sailors, widely denounced as botched, was fatally flawed as well. The revelation that 23 of the Kursk's 118 crewmen survived the sinking, at least for a while, set off a sensation and demolished assurances by senior military officials that the Kursk's entire crew most likely had perished within minutes of the accident. Today, the world finally heard Captain Kolesnikov's message after Russian divers recovered his remains from the husk of the submarine, and the note was found stuffed in his pocket. We have made this decision as a result of the accident. ''All personnel from compartments six, seven and eight moved to the ninth. ''13:15,'' he wrote, noting the military time. Dimitri Kolesnikov, the commander of the turbine room on the Russian submarine Kursk, scrawled a message 10 weeks ago to what was then an unknowing outside world. Eventually, thousands and thousands of e-mails, documents, contracts and finished films made their way online and cost Sony millions in the aftermath.Trapped in the rear of a breached and sunken submarine on the Arctic seabed, the electricity failing, facing all-but-certain death with 22 companions, Lt. In the case of The Interview, hackers demanded that Sony remove the film from their slate or face the consequences. You only need to look at the utter chaos that came when Kim Jong-Un was featured heavily in The Interview to get why removing Putin from the film is a safe choice. "That's a certain way to be targeted (for retaliation)." "For a studio to release a movie about Putin that makes him look like a fool would be suicide," said Ajay Arora, CEO of security firm Vera. While no specific reason was given by the productions in either case, security analysts who spoke to THR came up with a pretty good reason - hackers. With regards to Kursk, Putin featured in the early drafts of the screenplay and was obviously involved in the real-life disaster but was later removed from the shooting script. In the case of Red Sparrow, Putin - himself a former Lieutenant Colonel in the KGB - was a character in the source novel by Jason Matthews, but has since been removed from the shooting screenplay and the time of the story shifted from modern Russia to '70s Budapest. However, in both cases, the current Russian leader Vladimir Putin was a part of the original screenplay and has since been excised. Two major films are planned for the next year - Red Sparrow, with Jennifer Lawrence, and Kursk, with Colin Firth and Matthias Schoenarts - have a Russian focus to them, with Kursk based on the real-life submarine disaster and Red Sparrow dealing with a KGB double-agent. What with everything that's happening in the US with Donald Trump and the very real possibility that Russia interfered with the elections, it's no wonder that major studios are starting to greenlight films with a Russian feel. You had Rambo, Beverly Hills Cop II (technically they were East-Germans, but you get the idea), and about a dozen more schlocky action films that had Russia, or the former Soviet Union, as villains. Throughout the '80s, Russians were essentially the go-to bad guys in films.

The Garry's Mod community is a tremendous source of content and has added hundreds of unique modes to the game. But if you want to do more, we have the means. If you're not too great at construction - don't worry! You can place a variety of characters in silly positions. I had the pleasure of working at a venue where Shelly regularly came in as the DJ for client functions, so I already knew I liked her style as a DJ and ability to get the crowd up and dancing with ease.You can do it offline, or join the thousands of players who play online each day. What I didn't already experience was the professionalism with which Shelly approaches her role, and the immense amount of wedding planning experience she could bring to the table: in addition to getting the music right for my big day.ĭuring our first call, she pointed out how a DJ should have backup equipment, extra mics, and a host of other nuances I hadn't even considered in order to make sure the big day went smoothly. Her fill-in-the-blank forms and follow up meetings ensured that every detail was attended to, and she stayed on top of me with reminder emails when I was incredibly busy and overwhelmed. She offered suggestions when I wasn't sure what I wanted, listened patiently to those details that I knew exactly how my fiancee and I wanted, and she made the process EASY. If I had a question, she responded quickly. When my other vendors weren't sure on a detail, she worked with them to figure it out. Her prices are reasonable and she is a true professional: and I have been to weddings that didn't have that and am so glad I did.” She was several hours early to my wedding and and took last minute song requests from me and quickly downloaded a track for a song I had someone sing for my ceremony when my email somehow didn't go through to her earlier in the week. “We would highly highly recommend Shelly if you want an UNFORGETTABLE night.” “Our friends and family talk about how much fun they had at our party and I know it’s because everyone DANCED ALL NIGHT!” “She truly went ABOVE and BEYOND in every way and was a blast to work with”. “Michelle Lee (DeeJay Shelly) is so NICE and FUN to work with” – via Instagram from Micah Jesse (Betsey Johnson’s personal MC) Her team was so glad I found her! She was the PERFECT CHOICE if I do say so myself! She ADDED SO MUCH to the day!” “Betsey Johnson herself approved Michelle Lee for this event. – Kristen Ferrari, event planner Steve Madden. “Hey Michelle Lee! We are so THRILLED you were able to spin for us- you ADDED so much FUN and atmosphere to the room (not to mention the AWESOME pink wings!!). “Thank you again for all you did to make the day so special!! Everyone we talked to raved about you!!” – Jacki McCabe (Photo by Fuller Photography) I can’t even express how AWESOME last night was! You guys killed it! THANK YOU so so much!! It was seriously THE BEST WEDDING EVER.” Carrie Zaruba-Creedon, Sales & Marketing Assistant Hard Rock Café Philadelphia PINKTOBER We will share our photos as soon as we get them!” We can’t wait to see your photos and we would love to have you back next year and hope to partner with you on future events. Jen Colletta, Editor of the Philadelphia Gay News. “Michelle Lee (DeeJay Shelly) MADE our wedding. First and foremost, Shelly was so EASY and ACCOMMODATING. She visited us twice at our apartment to review our expectations and ideas and even met us at our wedding venue a few weeks prior to the wedding to test out sound since the Race Street Pier isn’t a traditional location. Once the wedding came around, Shelly and her assistant Nate basically served as wedding coordinators as they kept the event organized and moving along smoothly. “However, thanks to the emergence of game subscription services over the past few years, we feel that it is now possible to make games on a smaller scale. “In recent years, commercial considerations have meant that we have had to develop in large teams,” he said. Last year, speaking to Famitsu, Tango Gameworks boss Shinji Mikami said as much, saying that, thanks to Game Pass, the studio is able to operate in a way that not only enables more variety in its output, but also makes for more efficient pipelines and production frameworks behind the scenes- all of which has proven difficult in recent years thanks to the increasing commercial demands of game development. Simply put, it couldn’t be more diametrically opposed from pretty much everything Tango Gameworks has done since it has existed.Īnd it’s fair to say that if not for Game Pass, the studio would not have been so willing to greenlight the project. Hi-Fi Rush, on the other hand, is a rhythm-based action game that is brimming with humour and boisterous personality, and sports a bright, lively art style. As I touched on earlier, this is a studio that has made its name on hardcore survival horror games with The Evil Within and its sequel, and though last year’s Ghostwire: Tokyo wasn’t necessarily a horror game, it was still at least somewhat in that arena. But if you know your game is going to be available on Game Pass at launch and will, as such, have a much lower barrier for entry and likely attract a much bigger audience, you become much more willing to try new and experimental things that might not necessarily align with current trends. That, after all, is why we have so many saturated sections of the market with the likes of open world games, looter shooters, multiplayer shooters, battle royales, and the like. Given how much time, labour, and money ends up getting pumped into getting a game made, developers and publishers grow increasingly risk-averse, which means constantly falling back popular trends that have proven commercial viability. The games industry has gotten to a point where even a game that isn’t a massive AAA production is going to be a big financial undertaking. It’s been argued by many on no few occasions that Game Pass and its subscription model allows developers to be more experimental, and sure enough, there has been enough evidence of that in recent years- but Hi-Fi Rush surely proves that beyond all doubt now. That Microsoft’s subscription service is one of the best value deals in gaming isn’t a controversial take by this point at any means, but it’s not just consumers who’re benefiting from what it offers. Not only have people been taken by surprise by the fact that a studio that’s known for making nightmare-inducing survival horror games has come out with something so bright and humorous and charming out of nowhere, Hi-Fi Rush also has undeniable strengths at its core, thanks to its incredibly fun combat and its rock ‘n roll music.īut something else the game deserves a lot of credit for is the fact that, yet again, it proves the value and strength of Game Pass. Audiences, too, have responded to the game positive, to say the very least. On OpenCritic, it has a glowing aggregate score of 90 after 62 reviews, and our own review was full of praise as well. Hi-Fi Rush has garnered widespread acclaim since release. Shadow drops aren’t a very common occurrence as it is, but it’s even rarer to see major first party titles getting shadow dropped. What did come as a surprise, however, was the fact that the game was revealed and released on the same day. Rumours of The Evil Within developer Tango Gameworks having a unique new IP in the works had been doing the rounds for a while, so the announcement of the game in late January didn’t come as a massive surprise. The Xbox first party pipeline, however, has had an unexpectedly bright start to 2023, in the form of Hi-Fi Rush. 2022 was a lean year for Xbox on that particular front, after all, and after years of Microsoft announcing games with CG trailers and then offering no updates on them for extended periods, all while reports talk about behind-the-scenes development issues and delays and reboots and what have you, people have started losing patience. A lot’s been said about Xbox’s output of first party games for a number of years, and the criticisms surrounding that have heightened in intensity by several degrees of late. |
