![]() Physical definitely got a small downgrade. Hydro and Aero get nothing but they already had wet. Fire mages get a 10% damage buff since they can now apply burning directly to give -10% fire resistance plus the actual burning damage. I think the changes to Torturer talent (allowing it to appply status through armor) are the bigger differences in for mages. Now they have 1 at highest rarity which means you get what you get. Before vendors frequently had several items at highest rarity, so you could be a little picky about which stats you wanted. They also changed the vendors item offerings so it's a lot harder to gear now. They did flatten the gear curve a bit, but the differences are a lot more apparent in the later acts. I like that version better than just waking up on the ship not really sure why though. My guess it that it was a relatively low resource cost to develop, but immediately says "HEY LOOK NEW CONTENT" to old players as they start the game. I think the new level on the ship was mostly for old players. On another note, I am loving the squirrel so far. Still on the Joy so I haven't seen necrofire yet.Ĭlassic Fire () Classic Ifan on Fire () Definitive edition fire () Definitive Edition Lohse on fire () I've always used the character outline so I've never really had a problem seeing people in/on surfaces. That might just be a difference in default graphics setting. Still in Fort Joy and on classic difficulty so I can't really say how the balance changes have affected it yet. ![]() I've been crawling through a new coop playthrough. It's still not as smart as a real player (obviously) but it's better than it was before. Enemy rogues stealth more often, and all enemies use their CC more intelligently. Supposedly they've balanced things so that magic is more useful in later acts instead of Warfare being optimal on every single character.Įnemies seem a bit smarter, at least on tactician. Skill points caps are the same now whether you have Lone Wolf or not, so you can't just smash your way through the game without thinking. They finally nerfed Lone Wolf so that it doesn't completely trivialize the entire game. Maybe it's more useful for someone completely new to the game though. The new tutorial deck is short and completely useless. Hopefully these things are fixed on the official launch. I've had to save and reload a few times to fix text glitches, and during one fight the enemies started fighting each other instead of me. They finally made stealth not completely useless as Guerrilla drops the AP cost to 1. poor.Has anyone else tried this yet? I've been playing around on it with my friend on PS4 since we have access to the first act, with the rest coming out at the end of the month. This obscure, unclear information is really. I'm guessing the effect removal is connected to the Historian and it's working on any character. I never ''finished'' the quest as I skipped the whole sequence with flashing the ring. I'm not sure how it works or what the ♥♥♥♥ happened. If you flash the ring but go back and complete the maze, you'll remove the effect it seems. So you'll have the effect without the actual effect. The ring will always ''curse'' you but the effects not actually exist. you can easily completely ♥♥♥♥ yourself out of not only quest rewards but a good ring?! What the ♥♥♥♥.Įdit: Man this game has some weird/bad design decisions sometimes. Without meta-knowledge that by flashing the ring and pretending to be Rex. Can be removed by blessing.īecause if so, that is utterly retarded game design. You can nullify effect of it if you finish gargoyle zone (you still get cursed, but without effect, and only character that finished the quest).

![]() The American people deserve the opportunity to see what he said and judge for themselves," said Feinstein. "After speaking with majority and minority committee staff for 10 hours, Glenn Simpson requested the transcript of his interview be released publicly. ![]() In a statement, California's senior senator said she was releasing the transcript with the support of the committee's Democrats. The transcript is likely to provide Democrats a counterargument to the Republican charges that the dossier was a political document paid for by Clinton's presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee. "Her action undermines the integrity of the committee's oversight work and jeopardizes its ability to secure candid voluntary testimony relating to the independent recollections of future witnesses." "Feinstein's unilateral decision was made as the committee is still trying to secure testimony from other witnesses, including Jared Kushner," Foy said in a statement. Grassley spokesman Taylor Foy said that Feinstein released the transcript without consulting Grassley and suggested it could jeopardize the committee's ability to interview future witnesses.

Mulder suspects that the town's residents are practicing cannibalism in order to prolong life, possibly explaining Paula's youthful appearance. Using FBI records, Mulder and Scully find that eighty-seven people have vanished within a two-hundred mile radius of Dudley over the past half-century. While Randolph complains about Chaco's inaction, Harold assures him that he will talk to Chaco. Meanwhile, Randolph and Harold discuss the uncovered bones and the increase of Creutzfeldt–Jakob cases. While inspecting the remains, the agents notice that the skulls are missing and that the bones appear to have been boiled. They quickly find the bones of nine people, including Kearns. Noticing the plant's blood-red runoff in a nearby stream, Mulder orders a reluctant Sheriff Arens to dredge it. When the agents nearly collide with a Chaco Chicken truck, they learn that the driver also suffered from the disease. They also discover that Paula suffered from Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, a rare and fatal illness that causes dementia. ![]() The agents find that while Paula's personnel file gives her age as 47, she appears no older than her mid-20s. The agents later see Walter Chaco, Paula's grandfather and the plant's owner, who allows the agents to perform an autopsy. Vance Randolph, later claims that Paula was suffering from consistent headaches, which Kearns had also reported. Mulder and Scully attempt to reason with Paula until she is shot and killed by Arens, the local sheriff. After hearing this, a hallucinating Paula, who works at the plant, grabs and holds Harold at knifepoint. While giving the agents a tour of the plant, floor manager Jess Harold claims that Kearns held a vendetta against Chaco Chicken. After visiting Kearns' wife Doris, the agents discover that he was about to recommend a local chicken plant, Chaco Chicken, to be closed down for health violations. At the site of the alleged foxfire, the agents find the ground burnt. When Kearns is reported missing and a witness claims to have seen foxfire near Dudley, Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson) investigate. He is then killed by an axe-wielding assailant wearing a tribal mask. However, after losing track of Paula, George Kearns soon finds himself surrounded by approaching lights in the woods. In Dudley, Arkansas, government health inspector George Kearns follows his seemingly young lover, Paula Gray, into the woods. Spotnitz later named the characters after real life cannibals. Spotnitz was inspired to write the episode after thinking of cannibalism occurring at a chicken processing plant, an idea that he thought was one of the most despicable and vile things. "Our Town" was future executive producer Spotnitz's first stand-alone episode for the show. The case takes a twist when another poultry worker is shot after she goes insane, leading Mulder to believe that certain townspeople are cannibals. In this episode, Dudley, Arkansas, is the site of the latest investigation for Mulder and Scully, who are sent to find a missing poultry inspector. Mulder is a believer in the paranormal, while the skeptical Scully has been assigned to debunk his work. The show centers on FBI special agents Fox Mulder ( David Duchovny) and Dana Scully ( Gillian Anderson) who work on cases linked to the paranormal, called X-Files. The episode received mixed reviews from critics. "Our Town" received a Nielsen rating of 9.4 and was watched by 9.0 million households. The episode is a "Monster-of-the-Week" story, unconnected to the series' wider mythology. It was written by Frank Spotnitz and directed by Rob Bowman. ![]() ![]() It premiered on the Fox network in the United States on May 12, 1995. " Our Town" is the twenty-fourth episode of the second season of the American science fiction television series The X-Files. Director Rob Bowman found scenes featuring the mask the most difficult to shoot. You can also get one cut to your specifications.Īnother piece of equipment that is extremely helpful is the Baker's Couche that you will need for proofing. They are thicker and can withstand spills with aplomb. Even better, go to your local pottery supply store and get a Cordierite kiln shelf. It won't crack easily and will promote a much better oven spring for your baguettes. You want a large and, importantly, thick baking stone. The essential pieces of equipment to make a great-tasting baguette are an oven and a baking stone. This is a big no-no for baguette purists, but that little hint of sweetness is what everyone I baked my baguettes for liked. In this recipe, I use King Arthur all-purpose flour, very commonly used for baguette making among home baking enthusiasts, water, yeast, and salt. He also added that baguettes are not fully risen when placed in the oven, it is the wet dough and the very, very hot oven (480F) that make baguettes get the volume. In an interview, Anis mentioned using baguette dough that has 75% hydration (meaning the ratio of water to flour), very little yeast, hardly kneaded, folded three times in one hour then placed in the fridge for 21 hours. This baguette recipe uses baker's yeast and is influenced by the method used by Anis Bouabsa, winner of the 2008 Best Baguette in Paris contest. Thus, how you ferment the dough, how long you retard it, how you proof it, how you shape, score and bake it - all contribute to how the final product looks and tastes. Slowing down the fermentation process, known as cold retarding, results in complex flavor and improved taste. You can make the dough rise very quickly using warm water and warm ambient temperature but it will lack flavor. This is largely due to the process that is employed. Other factors that define a baguette's appearance and tasteĪs was mentioned above, many French baguettes, while using the same ingredients, differ in appearance and taste. Lately, many bakeries seek efficiencies and switch to using baker's yeast as using natural leavens requires more work. Later it was a mix of natural leaven and baker's yeast, which made the crumb lighter and more open. Up to about a century ago making bread with natural leaven was the rule for bakers in France. What's even more fascinating is how different bakers, using the same ingredients, can make baguettes that differ from each other quite substantially sometimes. It's fascinating how these four simple ingredients produce a beautiful, flavorful, crusty baguette. What French baguettes are made of?Ī traditional French baguette is made of flour, water, yeast and salt. So many factors here that can affect how your baguette will look and taste. ![]() ![]() Perhaps it's because my bread baking adventure started (many years ago) right after I baked my second loaf of no-knead bread and I lacked the necessary experience. Crusty and beautifully colored on the outside, buttery soft and chewy on the inside, with a tiny bit of butter - it's one of my favorite breakfast foods.īaguettes took me the longest to master.

Her parents, she says, were not particularly political. And people fairly close to us they were in our family.” “People were being imprisoned,” Panahi says. Putting their family at risk, all of the photos of Panahi’s mother with relatives of the Shah had to be burned or hidden properly. When the infamous Ayatollah came to power, Panahi’s mother had worked in a senior midwifery position at a hospital that bore the name of the Royal (Shah) Family and was patronised by them. The single mother’s childhood memories in Iran were of an idyllic life on the Iranian coast.īy 1979, the family had moved to Tehran and although Rita Panahi was still little more than a toddler, she remembers the mounting fear when the Shah was overthrown. When Rita was still a child, the family went back to Iran. Rita Panahi came into this world in the year 1976 in Pine Bluff, Arkansas in America while her Iranian father was studying at the local university to become an agricultural engineer. She was born in the USA but went back to Iran: It was also the revolution that redrew the map of global alliances. Soon after the western world felt the unimaginable power of radical Islamic resurgence and its strong hatred of the west. ![]() She and her family were refugees from the Iranian revolution of 1979, in which the western allied Shah of Iran was overthrown by the repressive theocracy of Ayatollah Khomeini. Rita clashed on live TV with Andrew O’Keefe, in an exchange about Islam and terrorism and went viral: You know, privileged, middle-aged, middle income white people, who were born and bred here, telling me my views on racism and a cohesive Australian society are wrong.” 5. “But I do have an issue with people who haven’t got my life experience patronising me with their opinions. I’m a single mum, I’m not some privileged, middle-aged white man who would normally have character traits ascribed to conservatives. “I’m someone who’s ethnic, a migrant to this country, an atheist. “I’m not your plastic conservative,” Panahi says. One thing she is not known for saying is: It’s very hard not to be fond of Rita.” 4.

It’s the left-wing commentators, the feminists who write for Fairfax’s Daily Life – and the “nut jobs” who tackle her on social media – who are the controversial ones, on the fringe. ![]() Then, was his downfall evidence that the majority of Australians are less right-wing than she might think? Not at all: “I think the centre is a lot more to the right than most people in the media would like it to be,” she says. In Panahi’s view, Tony Abbott (28th Prime Minister of Australia from 2013 to 2015)lost popular support partly because of his inability to communicate, but mostly because of a vehement media campaign by left wing journalists. Giving money to beggars is “akin to voting for the Greens – it only encourages them, and prevents them from doing something useful with their lives”.

![]() Partly because I believe them to be North America's second-most challenging big-game animal to hunt (behind mature blacktails) and partly because I never dreamed of having these ghosts of the forest so near, I pursue them every chance I get. The encroachment of Roosevelt elk over the years, so close to home, piqued my interest in them starting decades ago. Hiking into the bottom of big canyons-and back out again-is the norm for Roosevelt elk hunters. Today, I regularly see elk within a mile from our home, sometimes in our backyard. For generations my family hunted black-tailed deer in those forests and never dreamed elk would one day thrive nearby. In the early '90s the western Cascades held huntable herds of Roosevelt elk. They also became established in the western mountains of the Cascade Range. Then, in the 1980s, the elk began expanding their range into the valleys. While I was growing up in Oregon's Willamette Valley, the only place we had to hunt Roosevelt elk was in the Coast Range. I learned a lesson that day, thus beginning my infatuation with Roosevelt elk. The lead cow was 15 yards ahead of the bull. When I made the move, I was looking at the bull through the scope, my left eye closed. Then I recalled moving the rifle a few inches higher on the fallen tree against which it was rested. The heavy rain knocked down my scent, so they didn't smell me. When the shaking stopped, I regained my wits, curious as to what had spooked the elk. Rain ran down my orange cotton stocking cap, down my neck. The rain fell harder, yet I felt hot and confined. It was my first Roosevelt elk hunt, and the encounter changed my life. The herd spun, quickly but quietly, and vanished into the jungle-like rainforest. Two more steps and I'd be able to confirm it was a bull. With a solid rest, I slid the safety off. ![]() My heart beat heavy in my throat, overpowering the sound of the driving rain. The bull's head was in the trees, hiding its antlers. It was larger than the cows, and its hair was white compared to their yellowish hides, just as Dad said it would be. Through the trees I could see the body of what I knew was a bull. I counted elk as they slipped from the dense Douglas firs, lining out one-by-one. Simply getting a glimpse of a mature bull in the thick habitat makes for a good season for some Roosevelt elk hunters. 30-06 that belonged to my late grandfather. Intense rain bounced off the hood of my rain jacket, and my hands looked cold due to the death grip I had on the old. The elk slowly moved along the trail, getting closer with each step. The little creek in the massive ravine separating us was overflowing its banks and roaring from recent rains, typical of the Oregon Coast Range in November. Cautiously, they walked single-file, broadside, 100 yards away. The herd of Roosevelt elk emerged from the mountainous timber, just as Dad said they would when he left me sitting there. The October issue is currently on sale nationwide. ![]()
![]() Kline’s painted forms have been likened to the graphic qualities of Chinese calligraphy, a source of inspiration that is in keeping with other Abstract Expressionist painters such as Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock. In addition to commanding the center of the composition, by taking his forms right up to, and sometimes through, the confines of the picture plane, Kline adds an extra level of dynamism, expanding the flat two-dimensional constraints of the canvas to infinite proportions. From the thick, heavy verticals to the more delicate horizontals, together with the drips and incidental splatters of paint, the speed at which the artist’s hand traversed the canvas is also clear. Executed in a rapid, but deliberate manner, these lines display the full force of Kline’s gestures. A third, more ethereal, line runs diagonally, almost behind the uprights, joining the horizontal at its obtuse angle. This pair of vertical tower-like structures is then bisected by a more gestural sweep of pigment which traverses the canvas from left to right, before tailing off at an angle. Two substantial vertical bands of black soar up from the center of the canvas, stretching up and stopping just short of the upper edge of the picture plane. The visually simple, yet conceptually complex, composition aligns to Kline’s interest not only in the gesture, but also the space it occupies. Unequivocally American, yet built on foundations that are universal, the manner in which Kline composes and constructs his paintings is both very visual and yet deeply philosophical, and as such his calligraphic gestures have come to represent abstraction in its purest form. One of the leading figures of his generation, Kline’s dramatic black-and-white canvases display the doctrines of the Abstract Expressionism in their purest form. The bold, almost architectural, forms that expand across surface of Franz Kline’s 1955 painting Untitled, displays the artist’s revolutionary and uncompromising approach to the abstract form. |
