Max’s parents are divorcing, her father is engaged to a younger woman and is being influenced by “an occultist charlatan” (via the book description but I love this phrase), her mother has up and left, and soon, Max herself winds up missing. In this third installment, which takes place in the spring of 1971, Vera and her girlfriend Max head to Los Angeles to visit Max’s estranged family, now in ruins. Vera Kelly is back! If you’re not reading her rolicking adventures from spy-hood to PI-dom, you absolutely should. Rosalie Knecht, Vera Kelly Lost and Found The story follows the arc of a new literary magazine in which the government has taken a keen interest, leading to a swirl of paranoia and double-crosses. Woods offers up a heady mix of espionage, historical fiction, and literary mystery with The Lunar Housewife, set in a richly-evoked midcentury downtown New York literary scene, where her protagonist finds herself somewhere at the intersection of the artistic vanguard and the spymaster’s crosshairs. ![]() Vidich develops complex characters like no other spy novelist at work today.

Donovan, once again proving his versatility as an actor. Tom Hanks also gives another memorable performance as James B. ![]() There were many suspenseful moments where it felt like the prisoner negotiations would go horribly wrong and that kept me on the edge of my seat. This is most likely due to the Coen brothers' clever screenplay and Steven Spielberg's creative direction. Despite containing barely any action scenes and being almost entirely made up of talking, the film never feels boring or slow paced. As a means to ease tension between the two warring countries, Donovan proposes a swap between the two prisoners of war, Abel for Powers. Meanwhile, over in the Soviet Union, an American spy plane pilot Francis Gary Powers is shot down and captured by the KGB. However the idea of defending a potential Soviet spy proves to be an unpopular and difficult task for Donovan. Donovan (Tom Hanks) is assigned as Abel's defence lawyer. In Brooklyn, New York, Rudolf Abel is arrested under the suspicion of being a spy. Spies from both the American CIA and Soviet KGB are a major threat to the security of both world powers and each side often resorts to hasty measures to stop any classified information from being leaked. In 1957, tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union during the Cold War are at their peak. I rank it among the best of Spielberg's most recent movies.

Then after a day or so, I removed the fan and closed the enclosure, turned on the lights and left it that way for several hours. Before I put my beardie in the enclosure, I left it completely open with a fan blowing inside to circulate. Almost any finish is going to be safe for the inside of the enclosure once it has cured completely. That requires laminating veneer or Formica on top to cover the guy exposed edges of the chip board/particle board.

PLEASE NOTE: The proper sized enclosure for an adult bearded dragon 8 square feet and at least 8-10" of distance from the bottom of the heat bulb. So the fiancé and I decided to shrink it down a bit to save some space. His enclosure has become nothing more than a bedroom for him. We even purchased a second UVB bulb for basking while outside his cage. When we slide them open, he crawls out and up the ramp to the window sill, where he just stares outside all day. He sleeps in his cage at night and will bask on his rock in the morning but by early afternoon he is scratching on his doors. Sometimes he will lay behind my PS3 and take a nap. He loves laying on a pillow on the window sill and wanders around the living room. He has a thing for the living room window. This is an ideal size for a fully grown adult (normal) bearded dragon. The enclosure is 4' wide and 2' deep 2' tall. I built his enclosure for him and it has served well.

I decided to dig into the history of the 1225 Pere Marquette and discovered it was built in 1941 by the Lima Locomotive Works for the Pere Marquette Railway. I'm absolutely fascinated with the powerful, majestic and absolutely breathtaking 1225 Pere Marquette Steam Locomotive. The Steam Railroading Institute parking is marked and easy to find. ![]() The 1225 was also influenced by the use of a fictional Polar Express locomotive in the 2004 feature film by the name of a similar title to the most best-selling Christmas book the Polar Express since 1985.There is paid parking right across the street from the Steam Railroading Institute (about $10) if you are running late.įree parking is SUPER close, located at the NCG Cinema, and takes like 5-6 minutes to walk on paved walkways. Still, the only-operable PM steamer hadn't gave up its best quality in performances later in 19 right before the dawn of the 21st Century. The 1995 Steamtown Grand Opening tried to invite the Pere Marquette 1225, but the locomotive's trip was cancelled with only two days when the Scranton organizers declined to boost the Preservation Group's compensation for the extra 500 miles for the locomotive to travel through Ohio and Pennsylvania. On Saturday while on the double-header run to Hinton, West Virginia, the 1225 began having a problem with a leak in one of the thermic syphons, which led this problem to the 765 for the whole trip.Īlthough the syphon leak had dampened the 1225's performance, it hadn't dampened its triumphant actions for the 1991 NRHS Convention when it traveled home to Owosso. Once arrived into Huntington the next day by the late afternoon, the two Berkshires began their 1st event of the convention on Friday August 9th by racing side-by-side on a 38-mile eastbound run to St. The doubleheader steam train was a frosting to a cake for Rod as well. There a tribute of whistles and exhausts from both of these engines ricocheted the brick walls of the old buildings that turned out both machines a half-century old.įor MSTFRP member Rod Crawford, it was a emotional moment, a dream come true where two preserved Lima-built Berkshires became a duo together at their old home where they were built. To this day, both the 1225 and 765 make a good team together as they perform in photo freights and excursion runs, they even hauled the 1st freight bound for Cincinnati as they passed by the former Lima Locomotive Works in Ohio, their old home. 765 as they hauled two freight trains together along the way to Huntington. In 1990, the 1225 rode on the high iron hauling two freight trains in a test trial to determine if the PM steamer was suited for next year's National Railway Historical Society convention at Huntington, West Virginia.Ī year later, despite having slapped with a 20 mph speed restriction for lacking a speed-recorder on board, the 1225 was accompanied by its Nickel Plate cousin no. Years later with the first restoration stages in the 1970's, the locomotive was eventually moved to the former Ann Arbor steam shops on the Tuscola and Saginaw Bay railroad in the early 1980's where it was finally restored by the State Trust for Railway Preservation by 1985. Retired from revenue service in 1951, the 1225 was since pushed into a display locomotive at the Michigan State University. Similar to Nickel Plate Road 2-8-4 Berkshires by the appearance, Pere Marquette's N-1 Class 2-8-4 number 1225 is another preserved locomotive which was once one of nearly forty 2-8-4's for the Pere Marquette Railway in 1944. ![]() ![]() ![]() However, there are wackier alternatives such as Rocket League or Supraball that use unique mechanics to rethink the sport.

This compact pattern allows planting four sugar cane per water block.Ī more efficient grid pattern design can also be used. Not only is it easier to build it flowing, but when harvesting, any items that fall into the water flow into a central location. With this design, it is recommended to use flowing water rather than water sources. It is also a good choice for some of the semi-automatic designs below. Sugar cane farms must balance between compactness, ease of harvest, and difficulty to build.Ī double rowed design, while not the most efficient of designs as it has only 2 canes per water, is relatively easy to build and harvest. However, this quickly becomes impractical when implemented on a large scale. ![]() When starting out, simply placing sugar cane on a river bank should be sufficient. The first step in building a sugar cane farm is choosing a design. This pattern is easier to harvest since the player doesn't fall into the water as often. The growth range is based on simulation distance. Sugar cane, like saplings, wheat, and cacti, grows only if the chunk they are on is loaded into memory, so you should not venture too far from the field if you want it to grow. This limit can be bypassed by placing additional plants on top of an existing one but it does not grow naturally any further. Sugar cane can naturally grow up to 3 blocks in height. Sugar cane's growth rate is unaffected by the absence of light. On average, sugar cane grows 1 block every 18 minutes. In Bedrock Edition, the sugar cane is updated with its water, so it breaks immediately.Įvery 16 random ticks, sugar cane grows 1 block in height, similar to how cactus, kelp, and bamboo grow. If a plant's water source is removed, it breaks when it is next updated. The block must be directly adjacent to water and not merely above or diagonal as with crops. We've updated our list with even more farm options for you to choose from, as well as links to the best farm tutorials.Sugar cane can only be planted on grass block, dirt, coarse dirt, rooted dirt, podzol, mycelium, sand, red sand, moss block and mud.

There’s still an element of ruthlessness – players burst into orbs when killed, so forcing a player to crash into you is a good way to grow fast. Players are worms rather than cells, and must avoid touching other players head-on while collecting orbs to grow. The next huge hit was Slither.io, released in March 2016, which adds a Snake-like twist to the mechanics. Nonetheless, Agar.io had opened a market, and developers began to iterate on its premise. Skins like the confederate flag remain, and from my testing with slurs that I have the questionable pleasure of reclaiming, there doesn’t seem to be any kind of nickname regulation. Others clearly felt that the ability to masquerade as a swastika was part of the appeal of the game, claiming that despite its accessibility, Agar.io wasn’t “for the weak.” Pepe was never added, but some of the influences of that original audience can still be seen. Not everyone was pleased: the top Reddit comment following these changes reads “We want pepe for compensation,” referencing a meme that grew in popularity on 4chan (among other websites), and would soon be coopted by white supremacists. Two weeks later, the Nazi skin was made unavailable and unviewable in countries where it was illegal, and a month after that it was removed entirely. When a Reddit user pointed out that this imagery is illegal in Germany and that the game should block users with a German IP address from seeing the skin, Valadares (known as Zeach on Reddit) responded with a hard “no.”īut it was Agar.io’s mass appeal that had hooked in Miniclip, not its pandering to niche online communities. For example, the game originally gave players the option of calling themselves “Nazi,” which would give their cell a swastika skin. Some skins clearly reflected the harmful “humour” of the communities who were first introduced to the game. It was also this customisability that demonstrated how quickly Agar.io had exploded from its original 4chan-based target audience. In-game, players could be found with names referencing these same political tensions, teaming up or chasing one depending on their allegiances. Political parties released posters showing cells with their names on them “eating” the 10% vote threshold that they needed to exceed for parliamentary representation. In the summer of 2015, this led to the game becoming one of the fronts on which the highly contested Turkish elections were fought. “REDDIT WANTS TO EAT ME!” crows the title of PewDiePie’s first video, riffing off the fact that he was chased by a huge cell sporting the website’s logo. Players are also given the opportunity to customise their cell’s name and skin giving matches a sense of story. Yet it’s tricky to master, making it easy to get caught up in a loop of “one more try.” On pretty much any computer with an internet connection, anyone can jump into a game for free, within seconds, and understand its mechanics. Much of this popularity was down to its accessibility. The game had already become a success by spreading through social media and word of mouth. io games can hardly be understated, but in his video PewDiePie is clear that his fans had been clamouring for his coverage of Agar.io for some time.
