For the records, the Android OS updates still cause this app to suddenly close, not sure if or when that will be fixed.The free interior design application Sweet Home 3D released version 7.0 with many improvements. Sweet Home 3D is certainly not the app I would go buy again. The app does offer some demo apartment plans to start with but, they're basic and not user friendly for modifying. For polylines, measurements are not the greatest and any mistakes means you'll need to delete from your starting point and recreate the room again. If you make mistake or just want to delete a wall after making a room, you will have to create each wall individually. Another issue, I am not able to simply pick and/or grab/move walls, but I can expand the wall. In other words, if you're looking for an app to design/decorate your home accurately, this is not the one. Metrics are bit off, but since I don't have a relative home, that part does not bother me much. The furniture choices are a bit outdated, so if you enjoy/need to decorate homes in different decor styles this may not be the best app. I lose my progress and have to start all over. However, once I put my walls up and begin adding the furniture (that is automatically uploaded in the app), it causes the app to shut down. With Sweet Home 3D, after having paid for the app at about $14, I would expect different results. Since I have updated my Android to Catalina, alot of the apps have been glitchy and closing out causing me to lose my progress. That is what I was hoping to accomplish with paying for this app on my Android. I just simply enjoy building and decorating homes in my spare time. However, I do dream for an app similar to the Sims ( just without the need to play the game or create families). However, this is why I do not find it difficult to navigate plan & design apps, such as this one. If your used to building homes on The Sims, this would be a bit of a disappointment. For exerpience, I have had many years in playing and building houses on The Sims game software.

With this in mind, the city sprawl, arising as a consequence of (presumably ill-informed) consumer preference, is very grating, since it drives up the costs of infrastructure. I live in a city of around a million people it’s a fine balance between the quiet of a smaller town and the energy of a larger town, and I am quite happy with the city. Moving from the hustle and bustle of Yokohama to the comparatively quieter Hirosaki region marks a substantial change of pace. ![]() With its humid continental climate, summers in Hirosaki are hot, reaching a daily average of 23☌ in August, while winters are mild in comparison. Besides the Hirosaki castle, the town is also home to a collection of Western-style buildings dating back to the Meiji restoration. The area has been populated since the Heian Period, and Hirosaki was renamed several times over the course of history: its current moniker was adapted in 1808 from its former name, Takaoka. Hirosaki is also known for its agricultural sector: besides rice, the Hirosaki region accounts for nearly a fifth of Japan’s apple production. With a population of 176590 (September 2015 estimates), the town’s castle and surrounding cherry blossoms are the central attractions - during Golden Week, there is a cherry blossom festival held near the castle. However, this also corresponds with mountains and lakes that remain quite pristine: it is amongst the quiet plains of western Aomori that Flying Witch is set: the events of the anime are set in and around the city of Hirosaki. ![]() Granted, being the northern-most prefecture on the Honshu does subject the prefecture to heavy snowfall and has a relatively cool climate, and its rugged terrain results in Aomori having a lower population density. Terror in Resonance depicted the Aomori prefecture of Japan as a perpetually snowy and miserable locale perfect for governmental agencies to conduct secret nuclear weapons research, but this is a gross over-generalisation of the prefecture as a whole. “Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe ![]() ![]() ![]() Strub said he doesn’t mind the occasional darker image of the military. “It’s very satisfying to see the enlisted man and the war veteran treated as something other than a deranged, evil person.” ![]() In the 1970s, few movies tackled subjects of military valor, said Philip Strub, special audio-visual assistant for the Department of Defense in Washington, D.C.Ībout the only films made in the 1970s on military subjects were bleak portraits such as “Apocalypse Now,” “The Deer Hunter” and “Coming Home,” Strub said. ![]() Good thoughts about the military once were few and far between in Hollywood. “It’s great to start ’em thinking good thoughts about the military at a young age.” “Out drop thousands of jelly beans,” Davis said. The bomb-bay doors of a B-52 bomber open. There’s a scene in the Saturday morning cartoon show, “Muppet Babies,” in which the ever-hungry Miss Piggy stands on one hoof and looks to the sky, Davis said. The military has infiltrated children’s television, too. “But the scripts weren’t realistic enough, and the producers wouldn’t change the parts we objected to.” “It’s great to have a show about the Army seen by millions of people each week,” he said. The Army pulled its support for the show after its first year, Hansen said. The military has soured on “Tour of Duty,” the Vietnam era series set in the Asian jungles. “As long as it gives a fairly realistic account of what we do, that’s enough to help us.” “`Major Dad’ doesn’t really try to overtly sell the Marine Corps,” Thomsky said.

The fervor for Buffalo Trace products has thus proven to be something of a double-edged sword for the industry.Īnd that’s a shame, because the inevitable (and necessary) discussion about the availability and pricing of Buffalo Trace products all too often obscures the ability of bourbon drinkers to objectively discuss and rate the whiskey in any given bottle. The popularity of its products in the last decade has played a major role in bringing countless new drinkers to whiskey as a passion or a hobby, but it’s simultaneously become the central object of interest in a whiskey industry that is now plagued by hype and rampant price gouging, often from retailers in addition to the lawlessness of the secondary market. It’s safe to say that within the world of American whiskey, for better or worse, no other distillery even approaches the mystique with which Buffalo Trace is viewed by the bourbon community in particular. ![]() ![]() ![]() This overcomes one of the limitations of MIDI, where such controllers normally affect the entire channel (For example, all notes of a chord are equally affected by a pitch bend message).

We recently went on a road trip from Nhulunbuy to Gold Coast and got to see so much of our beautiful country, Australia. Read by Dave LuukkonenMusic by Tony Anderson-Walt Whitman is America’s world poet - a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare, whose ve.The title symbolises freedom, joy of free life and opportunity. He is often called as the father of free verse. Walt Whitman was an American poet, essayist and journalist. It is taken from his collection of poetry, The leaves of grass. Message, values, morals in the poem: The poem conveys the message that we should not be bound by the routines of ordinary life instead we should step out into the open air and live life in a free-spirited manner. The poem, Song of the open road, is written by Walt Whitman.The use of imagery enhances the overall appeal of the poem, with words like ‘long, brown’ describing the road, the words ‘healthy, free’ describing the world and words like ‘afoot’, ‘strong’ and ‘content’ describing the poet paint a pretty picture of the poet’s wanderlust. Special features: The use of parenthesis in fourth stanza is a distinctive feature of the poem that makes the stanza more of a remark, rather than a continuation of the central topic of the poem. Based on poetry from Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass, this optimistic work proclaims the freedom we have to choose our own path in life.The use of these poetic devices helps to convey the message in lucid and expressive narrative and hence adds to the poetic appeal. He employs Metaphor when he refers to road to actually mean ‘the road of life’, as also when he likens constellations to influential people. The language/ poetic devices used in the poem: The poet makes use of simple poetic devices such as Alliteration, Antithesis, Consonance, Inversion, Metaphor, Paradox and Repetition.Poetic style: The poem is written in free verse, as the lines are unrhymed and of varying lengths.So read this poem when you want to tune in, pull back, chill out, and keep moving. Musical settings (art songs, Lieder, mlodies, (etc.), choral pieces, and other vocal works set to this text), listed by composer (not necessarily exhaustive). The poet views the road as a space that offers countless opportunities as it can lead people to anywhere they desire to go. by Oakes & Smith Includes unlimited streaming via the Bandcamp app, plus download in mp3, FLAC and more Your money. The short answer is: there is no comparison. The theme: This narrative poem centers on the quest for freedom and shunning a life of monotony to take to the open road to course through life.

If you’re not concerned with going a bit slower than some of the other slicers we mention, we think the Continental meat slicer is a budget-friendly option to consider. This is fixable with a bit of foil to cover a small gap below the slicer, but it’s a bit weird that the foil might be necessary. It’s also rather noisy – if you want to slice in the morning without waking anyone else up, forget it.įinally, for raw meats especially, it has a habit of dripping juice everywhere. While the cuts are even enough, it suffers from the same issue as the Chef’s Choice if you feed meat with too much pressure, you’ll get thicker slices than you bargained for. It’s far faster than going by hand, of course, but if you feed it cheese or even a tough cut of meat, the serrated blade will slow down and you’ll have to slow down your feeding speed to match. ![]() It can cut different types of cheese, bread, and other tough items without much fuss. The Continental deli slicer is easier to clean than the BELLA and cuts pretty evenly. If you’re more serious about slicing, you’ll probably want to choose a different unit. If you need a basic, budget-friendly meat slicer, the BELLA 13753 may be an adequate unit to consider. Consider placing it in a pan to minimize this dripping and set up a tray to collect the slices as they fall. ![]() It might be reasonable to expect the slice of meat itself to fall onto a cutting board, but the BELLA leaks juices and scraps all over your counter while it works. There’s no tray or catch or anything else. While you’re slicing, the BELLA doesn’t deposit meat in a sensible place. Anything you slice will work its way into all of them.Ĭleaning the device fully may take significantly longer than slicing a cut of meat. There are more crevices and gaps in the machine than you could shake a stick of salami at. While most home slicers are hard to clean, this one is exceptionally difficult. With a bit of care and attention, you can make even slices for party trays, cold cuts, or other culinary purposes. It’s loud, easy to adjust, and cuts through meats and cheese using a serrated blade without very much pressure required. The BELLA meat slicer offers the bare minimum necessary for home use. Built from cast aluminum and stainless steel, it is good quality and will handle most of your slicing jobs with ease. Overall, this is a great meat slicer that would suit most households. Serrated blades aren’t a huge drawback and most people are perfectly happy using them, but if you are a perfectionist, a smooth blade offers just a little bit more precision. The blade in this model is serrated, as with all our reviewed non-commercial meat slicers (the only two on this list with non-serrated blades are the BESWOOD And Best Choice slicers. ![]() If you have a large roast that you need to slice, the Chef’s Choice 615A can handle it the food carriage is generous and can fully retract to fit those bigger chunks of meat. We appreciate the attention to safety with this unit it has a slider lock which locks the slider over the blade when you’re not using it – a feature that not all meat slicers offer. If you’re after thicker slices, it can go up to ¾ inch. If slicing deli meats perfectly thin is your thing, you’ll have to be very careful as you feed meat into the blade.Īlthough you may be hard-pressed to get really paper-thin slices of meat, you will get pretty close, and the consistency of the slices is good. When using the slicer, varying the amount of pressure you use on the meat will yield slices of different thicknesses. Unlike some other models listed, the Chef’s Choice 615A is a cinch to take apart and reassemble for easy cleaning – it should take you only around five minutes to disassemble all the parts and give them a wash. While it’s much easier to clean this slicer than many of its contemporaries, it’s not dishwasher safe.

I am a big fan of GrandPerspective, but like most of these tools, I prefer to manually delete files. To me, at least, GrandPerspective does a better job of allowing you to visually see what file or group of files are using up space, and put it into better, ahem, perspective.īy default, GrandPerspective cannot be used to delete files (a wise choice), but you can flip on deletion by going into Preferences. Yes, DaisyDisk and GrandPerspective essentially do the same thing: DaisyDisk shows space used as bands on a pie chart, and GrandPerspective shows space used as colored blocks. There are options to take a Quick Look at a file or to Reveal the file in a Finder window. Related files are clustered together, so even though they may not individually be that large, you can see that the directory of old email messages from a job you had ten years ago, for example, takes up a disproportionate amount of space. Each file is shown as a square or rectangle, and the larger the square or rectangle, the more space it consumes. But don’t let the academic origins slow you down: this is a superb tool for seeing what is sucking up space. GrandPerspective started out as a graduate school project for visualizing data in terms of volume. Recommended, but do read the instructions. I tend to want to see what is being deleted before getting rid of it forever. I have DaisyDisk, I use DaisyDisk, but I only use it for identifying things I don’t use the built-in tools for deleting large files. While quite pretty, it does take some experimentation to translate what you see on the screen into useful information, but once you figure it out, it is easy to find things that are taking up great gobs of space on your disk. See the image taken from Apple’s App Store, above. If you click on one of the bands, it will break down into more detailed information. After scanning your hard drive, DaisyDisk presents the results as a color-coded, banded pie chart, organized by categories (Library - meaning things belonging to the computer Archive - meaning Zip and Tar and other files Pictures Documents, etc.).
