![]() ![]() Sometimes he wishes it had been him the one to dive in and save Haruhi from the sea but you can’t win them all, and there will be other falls he’ll be ready to stop. He knows he shouldn’t feel like it’s the end of the world when Mitsukuni says ‘It’s okay if you make friends, Takashi, it makes me happy!’ after all, it’s Haruhi the one who presented the door to him first, and now…he’s finally ready to open it. There’s no kid on Earth that can rival Hunny-senpai’s deadly skills at kicking ass although Takashi comes very close to it, when the soldiers surrounding him threaten the small girl in his arms. It’s his duty to protect Mitsukuni, and he’s failed, failed, failed so much that he thinks there can never be a good enough punishment for what he’s done Haruhi snaps him out of it, telling him that Hunny-senpai will be fine, and that’s when Takashi realises that instead of brooding, he should really go out and look for his friend. “Drink,” he orders, voice deep and stern, and Haruhi listens he has a talent to discover who’s sick and hiding it, and making them take bad-tasting medicine for their own good. Haruhi’s arrival to the club presents him with a door should he choose to open and cross it, he would probably learn how to live without Mitsukuni, and without protecting him all the time for now, he lets the door stay like it is, closed. Sometimes he wonders just how innocent their King can be, if it took him that long to figure Haruhi wasn’t a ‘he’, but a ‘she’. Stoic, wild, call him whatever you want, but Haruhi still thinks the tall, dark and handsome character is what gets the ladies to swoon. When Tamaki asks her to brew instant commoner-coffee, she tries to get Hunny-senpai to drink some, but Mori-senpai stops her before she can get there, telling her that a caffeinated Mitsukuni is a scary one although later, when she sees Mori-senpai has downed both coffee cups, she thinks that he probably wanted it all for himself, and prepares him another cup, for good measure. When Mori-senpai holds her in the air, his hands there, it feels as if millions of teeny tiny insects are strolling around Haruhi’s skin she’s not sure what scares her more, the bugs, or the fact that she likes it. He never thought he’d protect someone else aside Mitsukuni, but there’s a first time for everything, he supposes. When he pulls him out of Tamaki’s clutches, his hands manage to touch something oddly lumpy he tries to reason it in any way other than the obvious, but all he can come up with is ‘maybe they’re apples’ and that ends up being less reasonable, and more perverted. Takashi decides that Haruhi-san will be like a breath of fresh air, from the instant he steps into the third music room. This ended up being more in Kyoya’s POV (I think that’s his way of extracting revenge for what I did to him in my first fic, the poor, vindictive bastard.) I hope you’re still enjoying this! My idea was to write a Haruhi-pairing for each theme set, but because I have come to understand that the community only allows me two claims, then I’ll just…sulk somewhere. Because there’s a reason why every innocent girl needs the wild type of men to set them straight.ĭedications: To abandonreality, since she’s the only one on my flist who likes Ouran, that I know of.Ī/N: This is based, and using, the Delta set at 1sentence.

There's holding on every play in a pro game, so why not look for a little edge? The new Nike digs have made the jerseys fit much better than back in the day, but the guys I talk to in the league are still relying on double-sided tape. This stuff is a must for the big boys up front, linebackers that are asked to defeat blocks and even for defensive backs. The result? It acts like glue for the jersey, and there isn't much to latch onto unless you want to lose a couple of finger nails in the process. The equipment managers layer the shoulder pads with this double-sided tape and squeeze the jersey on top. Here's a quick guide to how players skirt the rules - and a reminder that they will do just about anything if they think it gives them an edge on Sundays. ![]() Now, uniform tech in the NFL gets better every year, so rigging jerseys or pads isn't as essential as it used to be.

Esquire's Encyclopedia of 20th Century Men's Fashions. During the 1990s, however, spats made a brief comeback as designer fashion accessories for both women and men. White or gray spats became almost as identified with the gangster as his machine gun, and many men copied the style of the gangsters and the movie stars who played gangsters.īy the mid-1940s spats had, for the most part, disappeared from the fashion scene, replaced by rubber galoshes, which did a much better job of keeping feet warm and dry. The clothes worn by gangsters influenced fashions in the United States and Europe from the 1920s through the 1940s. Gangsters were often wealthy and dressed in expensive, stylish, and flamboyant clothes. ![]() This caused a tremendous rise in the illegal manufacture and sale of alcohol, and the rise of the gangster, a member of a gang of criminals. In January 1920 a law was passed forbidding the sale of alcoholic beverages. Spats became a part of gangsters' wardrobes during the 1920s. Many men wore spats with a tailored vest, which became known as the Boulevard Style. A line of pearl buttons often fastened the spats at the side. The new spats were made in the era's fashionable colors, which had names like dove (gray) and biscuit (off-white), and were made of heavy canvas in the winter and linen in the summer. The wardrobe of the well-to-do male, giving a "boot look" to shoes. However, by 1910 shoes were back in style for men, and a kind of shortened spat became a required part of During the early part of the 1900s men wore them less frequently, as boots had come into fashion. Spatterdash, or spats, as they came to be called, remained popular for both men and women for several centuries. Gaiters were also called spatterdash because they protected their wearer from spatters and dashes of muddy water in the street. ![]() By the 1700s several European nations had made gaiters a part of their military uniform. They were worn by both women, whose dresses did little to protect shoes and stockings from mud and water splashes, and men, who at that time wore breeches, a type of pants, that ended just below the knee. Gaiters were leggings that covered the shoe and leg up to the knee. Spats originated in the seventeenth century as leather or cloth coverings called gaiters. However, between 1910 and the mid-1930s, spats eventually became an elegant men's fashion accessory, often associated with gangsters and dandies, a term to describe well-dressed men of the time. ![]() They were first designed to protect shoes and ankles from mud and water while walking. Spats are linen or canvas shoe coverings that fasten under the bottom of the shoe and button up the side. Across the board in AI, large language and multimodal models are becoming bigger and pricier thanks to millions of dollars in investment and programming time that goes into refining the AI research data. Using AI design saves you time and money due to the inbuilt resourcing of the AI logo generators, which we explore in our pros and cons list below. Working with designers can take from a few days to a few weeks, depending on their workloads.

Those who are unlikely to want to try this should probably move on to John’s blog at this point!īasically, you use the Open Source SANE project, which supports a wide range of scanners connected in a variety of ways, and you combine it with Mattias Ellert’s excellent TWAIN SANE Interface for Mac OS X, which can make SANE-connected scanners appear as TWAIN devices – the standard that most programs expect when talking to scanners. Today, however, Dave Hill showed me a much better way, albeit rather more complex to set up. ![]() Not very flexible or convenient, but it worked. I forget whether there was no HP Mac software which worked with networked scanners, or whether it was so bad that I abandoned it, but for years I’ve been using the web interface to do any scanning. Occasionally, though, I need to scan things. ![]() Much easier to deal with in rain or a high wind…Īnyway – the HP software is laughably bad, but we normally only need the printer driver which works just fine. Now, I just photocopy a couple of pages and the relevant bit of the map. I used to stuff a guide book in one pocket and an Ordnance Survey map in another. Here’s an example: I occasionally like going for longish walks around the Cambridgeshire countryside on Sunday afternoons. There’s a JetDirect box stuck to the back so that it’s on the network and we can print to it from any machine in the house.Īs an aside – I never realised just how useful having a copier at home could be until I got one. I’m rather fond of this beast – it has provided us with a copier, scanner, fax and laser printer (albeit b&w) at home for a very reasonable price, and has never given us any trouble. In the corner of my home office, there sits an HP OfficeJet 3330. ![]() ![]() But, unlike a lot of other liners, layering on doesn't add any unwanted thickness or crumbling. Note, however, that it takes two to three coats to get that blacker-than-black level of pigmentation. One reviewer, who considers herself a “total newbie” to liquid liner, says this eyeliner is “as foolproof as it gets.” With one swipe, the soft, wispy tip lays down a thin, translucent black coat that doesn’t smudge or run. Type: Liquid | Shades: 2 | Free of: N/A | Size: 0.03 oz. This budget liner covers all the bases: long-lasting, knife-like sharpness (for a flawless cat-eye), and easy removal. We took a micellar water-soaked pad and it lifted cleanly after a few firm passes. It was pretty impressive that there was no budging-it was almost tattoo-like.Įight hours later, at bedtime, it still looked intact-just a hint faded at the tail. Still, when she glanced in the mirror, her cat-eye appeared untouched. “I even rubbed at my eye a few times, forgetting it was on,” says our tester. Throughout the workday, we forgot we were even wearing anything at all. It dried almost instantly with no bleeding. It’s very possible to get it right on the first go.Īgainst our reviewer’s skin, it felt lightweight and invisible. You don’t need to layer for color, since it's so pigmented, but might need an extra stroke or two to achieve the desired thickness. One gentle flick and you’ve got a fully saturated line. So much so that upon first glance we were skeptical that it would make any kind of significant mark. It’s sharp and ultra-thin (but not hard and firm). The precision tip stands out among the rest. Type: Liquid | Shades: 1 | Free of: Parabens | Size: 0.014 oz | Cruelty-Free: No It took just a few swipes of an oil cleanser (and there was very minimal smearing). ![]() ![]() Not only did our cat-eye remain uninterrupted, but there was also zero color fade. Since the formula feels thinner than others, we weren't sure it would hang on all day, but it did-12 hours to be exact. It’s plenty dark enough with one pass, but a second will deepen it. The formula is so lightweight on your eyelid (also comparable to the thin, quick-dry formula of a Crayola marker). It creates a sharp, whisker-thin flick-no cleanup needed. Use that same light touch to drag it up for a cat tail. With just the tiniest bit of pressure, you get that marker-like, perfectly balanced, smooth line with one swipe. The tip is deceiving: It looks too thick, but the trick is to use a feather-light hand. In its bright red packaging, it reminds us of a Crayola marker we once used as a kid (but smaller and for your eye). Our tester kept reaching for this Nars liner because it’s the one that stressed her out the least. Each liquid eyeliner was scored on a scale of one to five based on different tests that assessed the ease of application, comfort, pigment, and wear. We also consulted high-profile makeup artists for insight on their favorite formulas and to help solidify our picks. To help you navigate the process, we spent 150 hours researching liquid eyeliners and personally testing 22 of the most popular formulas at home. If you’ve never used a liquid liner or just haven’t found your favorite, it’s all about trial and error. So how do you differentiate one from the next? They all seem so similar, with their pointed tips in their pen-like tubes. But according to the pros, you can employ liquid eyeliner to create a variety of everyday looks, from simple to dramatic.Īs consumers ourselves, we realize that there are so many liquid eyeliner options on the market-from drugstore to luxury brands. When most of us think of liquid eyeliner, we think of a bold, precise, perfectly manicured cat-eye.

I hope this helps people out on picking a nutrient that works for them and gives some helpful info on general growing along the way. this one will be more open for discussion the other will be more just to document the outcomes. I open the thread for thoughts and discussion as this goes. Below are a few links to the nutrient makers sites and a link on the strain being used. mother plant shots, pics of clones, grow area setup, and images of the nutrient line ups and additives I will be using. I will post up as I go images which until we get rolling may not be the most exciting i.e. The buckets will be filled with hydroton balls and the clones will be cut and placed in 4x4 in rock wool cubes. I will have one carbon filter inside the tent scrubbing the air via a squirrel cage type fan. There will be one 6 inch inline fan bring fresh air into the tent running 24/7. I will run 2 6 inch clip on fans in the tent moving the air around along with 2 standard box fans at either end keeping air under and through the canopy fresh. I will keep an air stone going in the res with a 4 inch round bubble stone and a small 250GPH pump inside to just keep the solution moving and mixed. The resivoir will be a 55 gallon drum filled with straight tap water maintained at a ph of 5.5 to no more then 5.8.

Reaper is known for dismantling tanks with his powerful gun blasts, making him a perfect Orisa counter. Both heroes were able to remain on the frontlines, pushing forward against the opposing team, similar to the old GOATS strategy. ![]() Often called “new GOATS,” Mei and Reaper were popular picks for their self-sustain healing and anti-CC abilities. And there were a few DPS that were most heavily on rotation in the OWL. ![]() It also was the end of Reinhardt and the start of Orisa’s competitive career. The 2-2-2 role lock saw the dismantling of slower compositions relying on careful ultimate timings, leading to a dazzling display of DPS domination. This was a welcome change for most teams, who had DPS specialists dying to get up on the Blizzard Arena stage and strut their stuff. This completely dismantled the omnipresent GOATS meta, since now teams were forced to have two DPS heroes on their team. Going into Stage 4 of the Overwatch League’s second season, Blizzard implemented the 2-2-2 role lock. ![]() With the right support from their team, a Doomfist can fully dismantle a team’s carefully planned comp and change the tides in mere seconds. In just three maps, sinatraa was able to get over 50 kills on Doomfist when the team faced NYXL on their way to the Grand Finals.ĭoomfist easily disrupts the double barrier meta, offering a solution to the shields popping up all over the map. While Orisa and Sigma’s shields are powerful against incoming bullets, they do little to stop a Doomfist from coming in and punching them. Overwatch League MVP Jay “sinatraa” Won, San Francisco Shock’s main DPS, has proven time and time again how powerful Doomfist can be against tanks. Often paired with DPS heroes like McCree and Reaper, Doomfist has become a hugely popular hero in the double barrier meta. Bastion is also a counter to the currently popular Doomfist comp, since Doomfist can’t knock out a Bastion in one hit, leaving him vulnerable to the robot’s barrage of bullets. The Bastion is often getting pocket heals from a Baptiste or Mercy, since the entire plan falls apart if Bastion is sent back to spawn. The pirate ship comp is where Bastion sits confidently on the payload, breaking enemy shields and toppling frontlines from behind Orisa and Sigma’s barriers. In fact, the San Francisco Shock switched to the pirate ship comp on their fourth and final map against the New York Excelsior, ultimately bringing them to the finals with a 4-0 victory. The Hangzhou Spark debuted Bastion as a main DPS in the first match of the Season 2 playoffs, but it soon became clear that it was every team’s not-so-secret strategy coming into the final stretch. What started off as a troll comp with Bastion taunting the opposing team from atop the payload has now transformed into a full-fledged strategy in the Overwatch League playoffs. This was a counter to the previously prevalent double sniper meta, which saw Hanzo and Widowmaker tapping heads from afar. His highly mobile shield pairs perfectly with Orisa’s stationary barrier, creating total coverage when set up just right. The introduction of Sigma to the Overwatch League brought about a lot of new compositions and strategies. Here’s a closer look at some of the more popular and successful metas that reigned supreme in the Overwatch League, and some of the compositions that shined during those times. Throughout the game’s existence, there have been various metas that have more or less shaped the game, both competitively and for players at home. It also allowed the audience to watch teams figure out various comps throughout Stage 4, offering a lot of variety in heroes and gameplay.īut GOATS wasn’t always the major play. That changed with the 2-2-2 role lock, which forced teams to implement DPS back into their compositions and strategies. This was almost solely thought to be because of the GOATS meta taking over almost every single match. More and more people seemed to be disinterested in watching the matches, and the Twitch viewership started to decline. Watch League Season 2 was once thought to be a failure. |
