![]() ![]() Justin Steele takes the bump in Game 1, facing Miles Mikolas. Go, you White Sox!Īll the marbles are riding on the four-game series with the Cardinals that starts tonight. It would have been a perfect evening at Guaranteed Rate Field if Max Patkin and Andy the Clown were in attendance, bless their souls. I can only imagine how Ken Harrelson might have reactedto the crazy turn of events. Marcus Stroman had another rough outing, however, and didn’t help his trade value.Javier Assad, Julian Merryweather, Mark Leiter Jr., and Adbert Alzolay combined to throw 5.2 shutout innings to close it out.The Cubs stole four more bases, this time off of catcher Seby Zavala.Ian Happ and Cody Bellinger hit back-to-back jacks.Mike Tauchman walked to force in a run and so did Nico Hoerner.Miles Mastrobuoni reached on a drop third strike that scored Seiya Suzuki.It was almost as if the White Sox found a new level of incompetence. The Cubs scored six runs in the top half with just three hits. They’re six games behind the Brewers and 4.5 behind the Reds for the final Wild Card spot.Ĭhicago’s North Side Baseballers spotted their crosstown counterparts a 7-2 lead before a wild 5th inning. The Cubs are now one win shy of reaching. I’d love it if GM Rick Hahn could find a way to move Kendall Graveman or Aaron Bummer to the Cubs. Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López were traded to the Angels for two of their best prospects, catcher Edgar Quero and LHP Ky Bush. The ChiSox, predicted by many to win the AL Central, are now 41-62. The Cubs beat the White Sox 10-7 on the strength of eight unanswered runs, and the loss was so devastating to the South Siders that they immediately started selling off pieces of their roster. ![]() You’d just turn your back and walk.” – Bob Seger, Still the Same The first electric police trucks are beginning to roll out across the US as the Claremont, New Hampshire, police department put one of the nation’s first into service this week.“Every time they were sure they had you caught, you were quicker than they thought.

![]() A favorite haunt of Salvador Dali who was so (predictably, one could argue) taken with the macabre wonderland, it is said to have inspired his creation of The Temptation of St. In the 1930's, the gardens and its monsters slowly began to rise from their slumber of indistinctness, luring artists and historians to visit the monuments and wonder over their meanings. The Rediscovery of the Gardensįor centuries after his own death, Orsini's gardens at Bomarzo remained nearly obscure and anonymous. While Orsini later remarried, his 'Sacro Bosco' remained a darkly sardonic homage to Giuliana. The noblewoman for whom the monsters danced died before the gardens could be completed, leaving a grief-stricken Orsini to continue alone what would now serve as a macabre memorial to lost love. Alas, Giuliana was never to see her husbands folly come to fruition. A great beauty in her own right, Orsini's wife was the granddaughter of 'Giulia la Bella', the so-called 'Venus of the Vatican' made famous by her seduction of Pope Alexander VI in the late 1400s. It is said that Orsini dreamt the park in a fantastic effort to capture the devotion of Giuliana. Peter following the death of Michelangelo and with the creation of Villa d Este in Tivoli, to agree to bring his disturbing and seemingly haunted dreams to life. ![]() Indeed, one of the myriad mysteries surrounding Bomarzo is how Orsini managed to entice Ligorio, an architectural genius credited with the completion of the Cathedral of St. Over the next thirty years, the concept was to become an exquisite - albeit wildly esoteric - example of 16th century Mannerist-style landscape architecture designed by Pirro Ligorio. A garden where rolling lawns would collide with jagged stone, where jolting surprises would hide around each corner and where behemoth monsters would lay in wait under the shade of wild oaks. Shortly after obtaining the Duchy and following his subsequent marriage to first wife, Giuliana (née Farnese), Orsini began conceptualizing a plan to create a garden unlike any other. After returning from battle and following his father's death, Orsini inherited the Duchy of Bomarzo - in no small part through the influential political intercession of Alessandro Farnese, family friend and the future Pope Paul III. Pier Francisco Orsini, commonly known as Vicino Orsini, was a Renaissance-era patron of the arts, a soldier and a man who wore the emotional scars of war's brutality like a heavy cloak upon his privileged shoulders. So much so that in order to realize the full effect of the park's tortured beauty, one must take a dip into the mind of its creator. Rather, the often grotesque elements of "Sacro Bosco" were imagined to spur a somewhat morbid, wholly surreal sense of awe. Located in northern Lazio, the gardens of Bomarzo were never meant to delight with a lighthearted hand. Those are - roughly translated - the words whispered by Vicino Orsini introducing his Parco dei Mostri, or the Park of Monsters, to the world. "You who are wandering the world looking for great marvels, come here where everything speaks of love and art". In Viterbo, at the "Sacro Bosco" known as Bomarzo, the point is grandly illustrated. It is a bit of an understatement to say Italians have a certain penchant for drama. ![]() ![]() Voi che pel mondo gite errando vaghi di veder meraviglie alte et stupende venite qua ove tutto vi parla d'amore e d'arte - Vicino Orsini ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Dior Diorskin Forever Foundation in #20 Light Beige.Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Foundation in Y245 / Y315 depending on the time of the year.Clinique Even Better Foundation in #25 Buff.Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation in 2W1 Sand.Laura Mercier Photo Ready Silk Creme Foundation in Bamboo Beige.It is one of the best foundations out there that requires very little time, and effort on your part, but delivers a glowing face that retains its skin-like qualities.Įven on your worst skin days, this foundation will cover up those angry bits, and give you a put-together look in less than 10 seconds!įor some additional reference, I wear the following shades in other brands: It delivers everything you want with minimum effort required – you can apply this with your fingers, a brush, or a sponge, and you will get the same consistent, lovely result.

![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Whatever database maintenance justification Ubisoft has, it's a poor showing compared to competing digital distribution platforms, many of which have been around longer, presumably have more users, and do not do this. However you slice it, though, this is a customer-unfriendly practice, and an exhausting thing to see. I have reached out to Ubisoft for clarification, and will update this story if I hear back. It is not clear how long a Ubisoft account can remain inactive before receiving this notice of suspension. (Image credit: Ubisoft Support Twitter Account) "As we will be unable to recover the account once it has been closed, we strongly recommend only putting in the request if you are absolutely sure you would like to close your account." This page links to another dedicated to voluntarily closing one's Ubisoft account, and seems to operate by the same rules: a 30-day suspension before permanent deletion. You will be notified by email if we begin the process of closing your inactive account." Ubisoft has a support page titled " Closure of inactive Ubisoft accounts." The page first describes instances where the service clashes with local data privacy laws, then reads: "We may also close long-term inactive accounts to maintain our database. I was unable to find anything regarding account closure for inactivity in Ubisoft's US terms of use or its end user licence agreement, but the company does reserve the right to suspend or end services at any time. "We certainly do not want you to lose access to your games or account so if you have any difficulties logging in then please create a support case with us." "You can avoid the account closure by logging into your account within the 30 days (since receiving the email pictured) and selecting the Cancel Account Closure link contained in the email," Ubisoft Support wrote. Now, that sounds like a phishing scam, right? I and many commenters wondered that, looking at the original post, but less than a day later, Ubisoft's verified support account responded to the tweet, seemingly confirming the screenshotted email's legitimacy. The email provided a link to cancel the move. ![]() It is immersive and challenging, highly recommended.A piracy and anti-DRM focused Twitter account, PC_enjoyer, recently shared a screenshot of a Ubisoft support email telling the user that their Ubisoft account had been suspended for "inactivity," and would be "permanently closed" after 30 days. The game works to make it realistic by letting you do small stuff like scaling walls and the option to run across fields. It brings its own spin to the large fantasy world market and creates a protagonist that a lot of players will definitely love. Get ready for a new worldĪ lot of gameplay elements work together to make Forspoken the next adventure property to look out for. However, it’s important to note that this might not be appropriate for younger players due to its gore and mature themes. From fast and explosive to stealth and sniping types, it lets you create a skillset that will match your gameplay style. Still, contrary to the long-ranged mage archetype, there’s a lot of spell types you can try and master. Lastly, its battle system relies on real-time actions using magic spells. You’ll see Frey jump across canyon gaps, scale walls, and sprint through large landscapes–keeping you busy and entertained for hours. Of course, more than being visually breathtaking, the environment is also largely interactive. From bright and colorful landscapes to dark and twisted dungeons, there’s a lot of range as far as set design is involved. Visually speaking, the game utilizes the available technology to create stunning graphics. Meanwhile, it's great story draws similarities from Moana, the Disney film, with its use of once benevolent female figures corrupted by darkness of some sort. The interaction between her and Cuff, the gold and sentient bracelet, is funny and natural. Although the story feels like a fish out of water trope, Forspoken is actually far from it once you start playing. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mid-way through a match - after a ruggid bout of back-and-forth, a red card, and an embarrasing 0-0 draw - the half-time screen pops up, letting you know you'll need to pay to play more. PES 2012's take on freemium is a little more invasive than other games. You'll get to see how the game plays, fiddle with its physics engine, and try a few modes before choosing to stump up the £3.99 for the rest. So it's with only a tiny, barely audible 'gasp' that we saw Konami ball-booter PES 2012 enter the pitch with no price tag, letting players sample the beautiful game for nowt. It's an obvious trend in this little industry and as we stagger into 2012 it's evident that more titles, from just about every genre, will go for this business model: a free up-front download and some cheap in-app purchases. These days, it's no longer surprising to see a game go freemium. For £4 you're getting lots of levels and a serious challenge. ![]() SpaceChem is hard, but it's satisfying, and one of the most rewarding puzzle games out there. Luckily, the game's clever tutorials ease you in slowly, making sure you have a firm grasp of the game's ultra-smart concepts before throwing you to the lions. ![]() The sort of overwhelming problem that will take hours to solve. It's probably not very scientific, but it's one hell of a puzzle. Your water molecule needs another two oxygen atoms and a sulphur one - ripped out of some other compound - to make sulphuric acid. That efficient little water-producing machine you've so delicately constructed is now part of a bigger chemistry empire, composed of four or five machines. ![]() Scoop up an oxygen atom here, drop it between the hydrogen atoms there, bind them all together and then pick the resulting water compound up and deliver it to the output. Two nanoscopic robots called waldos dutifully pootle along tracks you've laid out for them, obeying commands littered on their path. The 'I'm the smartest person who's ever lived' moments. I've been thinking about this the wrong way all along' moments. The 'wait, wait, I've got to get a notepad and figure this out' moments. You see, for all that SpaceChem is about science - and it is, with its atoms, molecules, and pop-up periodic table - this tricky puzzler is more about programming.Īnd if you've ever had a tricky logic hurdle wedged in their brain and then solved it, minutes before falling asleep, you'll be well acquainted with the brain-sploding 'Eureka!' moment SpaceChem provides. Thought about potential strategies and new ways to re-route the tracks of my automated alchemy factory so carbon atoms could bind happily with oxygen atoms, while staying well away from the titanium molecules being methodically assembled elsewhere. And in those few frustrating moments when I was forced to do something else - like sleeping, or firing words at this website - I've thought about SpaceChem. This week, I've spent just about every waking second playing SpaceChem. I've got to put that cash to the best possible use, finding titles that offer a lot of bang for their buck, or cheap games that don't stretch my meagre budget, or top-notch freemium games that you can try for nothing. Welcome to The Friday £5, where each week Pocket Gamer's top brass will give me a fiver - straight out of the cash machine, all new and crinkly like - to spend on the App Store's latest goodies. Sometimes we look upon the week's releases and wonder how we'll ever find time to play, review, and cover them all before the universe inevitably expands into a cold dead void, absolute zero is reached, and molecular motion ceases.Īnd other times we gaze upon the absolute dearth of exciting new games and do a little cry. ![]() ![]() ![]() After that, it is more gold, then getting gold. That is what defines a carry- they are very item dependant. Without them, he is mediocre besides his ultimate, Chronosphere. With the right items, he is absolutely devastating. This means he needs items to reach anything close to his potential. you can even use satyr tormentors to nuke creep waves if the other team is pressuring you hard.Faceless Void is a hard carry. Keep the lanes pushed out as much as possible, time walk into the trees with a TP is very hard to pin down. This is extremely important, it will secure half a map of farm for your carry and cripple the enemies resources. Make sure to ask your supports to ward the enemy jungle for your carry. Now switch lanes with your carry and repeat the process of Chronoshpering and pushing. Once you get Chrono and HotD call your supports maybe even your carry, chrono the carrry solo if you have too and take their tier 1. I would also recommend blocking the pull camp with a sentry. If you think your getting Trilaned and you wont be getting help try for the offlane pull, even if you have to die for it it is worth it. If you get to play 1 v 1 against their carry you should win that lane in most match-ups or at least trade farm. If you get Trilaned, you are going to need a support to help you most likely. Defensive supports are pretty garbage in pubs and it'll make your offlane way easier if they pick one so i would worry about that too much. Which leaves your team to get a preferable match up. ![]() The other team will expect you to go safelane. Later in the game use this on their most impactful heroes or someone you must lock down eg. Keep track of kill streaks if you can and check enemy levels on the scoreboard so that you can get the most value for the chrono. Solo chronoing an enemy core is perfectly fine if you get the kill. Use this as much as possible sub 20 mins. ![]() On a safelane build this would be maxed first however you will be utilising a more aggressive play style and also not buying MoM so it is maxed second.Ĭhronoshpere - What an ability! A 5 second Aoe disable with a long cooldown. walk up and hit the sup, get stunned time walk, dilate and beat their heads in. It also lets you solo some supports with your SB. Time Dilation - 1 point in this will allow you to fight without chrono sommewhat. Time Walk - Very strong ablity, this is the ability that allows you to offlane and initaite, make sure you get value from it buy trading for the full 2 seconds or baiting a nuke before using the skill. its gives you alot of damage, makes your initiations very reliable, allows you to split push a little easier and allows you to solo kill most supports without chrono.Īghanims Scepter - Great stats, it means you can throw chrono's left and right with a low risk of the enemy capitalising on the down time.īlack King Bar - You will need to buy this before Aghs some games. Shadow Blade - Normally i avoid this item but its way too good on void. As for later in the game the best creep is an Alpha wolf(Bonus Damage) with the potential for Kobold Foreman(Movespeed), both of these creeps i set to follow my carry or mid laner. ![]() hook,SS, mirana arrow, and summons creeps). Other good early creeps are Satyr Tormentors(HP regen and a good Nuke), Hellbear Smasher (nuke and attack speed), Centaur (Stun), Dark Troll Summoner (net for skill shot set up eg. Seige creeps are A priority untill around 30 mins. I could write a whole guide on this item, but i will give a breif comment on preferable creeps. Aim to complete treads and HotD by 10 mins too get a double siege creep wave. Seige creeps spawn at 5 mins and 10 mins. Helm of the Dominator - This item is the only reason why offlane void is good. Personally i leave these on strength except when int switching for time walk, or when i solo chrono someone and theres no other heroes around. ![]() ![]() ![]() 6 Depiction in My Little Pony: A New Generation.5 Depiction in My Little Pony: Pony Life.4 Depiction in My Little Pony The Movie.3.3 Equestria Girls: Forgotten Friendship.She lives and works at Sweet Apple Acres with her grandmother Granny Smith, her older brother Big McIntosh, her younger sister Apple Bloom, and her dog Winona.

The song ends with a humorous outro, showcasing the band's lighthearted nature during a live performance. The lyrics reflect the struggle of trying to break free from a toxic cycle but feeling trapped and unable to resist the allure of past affection. The bridge introduces the idea of addiction to this love, with the singer expressing a desire to quit but unable to let go. ![]() The search for a new spark signifies the need to move on and find a fresh start. The line "If you put your hands on the flame, you've got no right to complain" implies that the singer is aware of their own participation in the pain and knows that they cannot solely blame their partner. The second verse explores the consequences of holding onto a destructive relationship. The line "Smokin' memory that ain't nothin' but ashes" suggests that the singer is trying to find solace in the remnants of the past, but ultimately, those memories offer little comfort. The empty glasses and flashes of memories highlight the emptiness that remains after the love has faded away. The chorus emphasizes the contrast between the past and the present. The loss of everything they had, represented by having the world on a string and then losing it, has led them to their current state of despair. In the first verse, the singer compares their emotional state to a river running down the side of a bottle, symbolizing their sadness and tears. The line "I was so on fire for you it hurts how fast a cigarette can burn out" speaks to the intensity of the singer's feelings for their partner and how quickly those feelings dissipated. ![]() This visual metaphor reflects the fading of passion and the extinguishing of the once vibrant and intense connection between two people. ![]() The song begins with the imagery of watching cigarettes burn out and neon lights being turned off. The lyrics explore the idea of a relationship that burns bright but ultimately fizzles out like a cigarette, leaving behind a sense of emptiness and nostalgia. "Burn Out (Live From Spotify House SXSW 2016)" by Midland is a poignant song that delves into the emotions of heartbreak and the fleeting nature of passionate love. ![]() |
