5/31/2023 0 Comments Whitelines notebooksRuled versions and several other binding styles are also available.ĭoes the Whitelines Paper Live up to the Hype?Īctually, I remember finding Whitelines a bit underwhelming, maybe even distracting at first, before I got used to it. One notebook is of the wire style, the other is hard wire, with the difference being more and non-perforated pages, a more robust wire binding, and hard front and back covers for the latter style. This comes out to about 5 squares per inch, which is what I prefer for most of my graph paper needs. There are just too many apples-vs-oranges differences to declare one style of notebook better than the other.īoth A4-sized notebooks I’ve used are square-lined with 2 squares per centimeter spacing. It’s too difficult to compare Whitelines paper to other quality notebooks like the Maker’s Notebook ( available at the Maker Shed), square-lined Moleskines, and even Marble notebooks, so I won’t. Whitelines’ marketing claims seemed convincing enough and the price tag reasonable enough, so I figured it was worth a shot. Even so, I decided to give Whitelines a try and bought my first notebook in early 2011. To be honest, I don’t recall ever having issue with my designs or diagrams not standing out well enough when drawn on regular graph paper. As Whitlines puts it, the idea is simple: dark lines distract, Whitelines don’t. Whereas traditional graph paper consists of white paper with colored – often blue – grid lines, Whitelines features light grey paper with white grid lines. While this seems overly dramatic, the idea behind their designs is quite novel. Whitelines describes their namesake graph paper notebooks and pads as the new generation of writing paper.

Getting to the truth of a rumor, completing a prescribed task, discovering something new, finding treasure, etc. Didn't prevent the next murder? 200 xp each. Solved the mystery, and prevented the next murder? 300 xp each. Achievements could also be tied to more "story based" events, or for doing something particularly well. This varies by campaign, but in my sandbox game, it means discovering new locations of interest, and opening "vaults" which are just very difficult and dangerous places to get to, that also usually require a puzzle (sometimes requiring things from other locations) just to get into. I would also look at what things you want to encourage. be careful of the ratio 1 xp = 1 gp means they will be quite rich by level 3, and very rich by level 10 (good for campaigns with domains), while 1 xp per silver (in a gold economy), will mean they gain more levels, before becoming particularly wealthy. You can still use this with a gold economy if you want them to level faster. I also converted to a silver economy, and give 1 xp per 1 sp. If I want them to level quickly, then I don't divide the combat xp. The con to this method is when you have players that like to take off in a direction you did not plan for and have to scrap the planned out adventure which has happened to me many times. This method has some nice pros to it and one of them that leaped out at me was reduced bookwork since you would have already calculated the xp earned before hand and just assign it at the end of the adventure (or session if you go that route). One method I used and it worked out rather well is to assign a total xp for the adventure and when they complete it, give them the amount. You could drop the whole XP earned and go with the milestone leveling format which is the party achieves a goal and they all level up (not really recommended with this system as it nerfes some of the old school aspect. Could be a long list but it boils down to you deciding how fast you wish them to level up and how you want to do it. If the players choose to avoid or negate then combat aspect through RPing the award them for their creativity.Ģ: XP = Gold: I do not use that but that is my choice for my games.Ĥ,5, etc. This is the only reward that could potentially give you a card from a non-activated region.Don't forget that as a GM you can award XP in various ways.ġ:Defeating the encounter which does not mean defeating the monsters in combat only.These will only grant content for the corresponding region.While you'll earn different rewards at different times based on your activated region, the end of each road will see you well equipped to wage war with your chosen regions. Region Rewards include a variety of content. In total, while the rewards are region-focused, you’ll still unlock the same rewards by finishing each road. Each region has the same total rewards, even though they are given in a different order.For example, if you’re level 3 on Noxus, and you reach level 3 on Freljord, it requires the same XP to get to those points along the road.Regions will each have the same XP curve across each of their levels, so no region will be easier or harder than any other at any specific point.Earned XP is applied only towards the currently activated region (as well as the Weekly Vault, of course).Your progress through each region is tracked separately, so you can pick up right where you left off in one region if you choose to activate another. Cards can only come from a single region (so no neutral cards). Keep in mind, even if your deck is rocking two regions, you will activate only one region at a time. 5/31/2023 0 Comments William and kateKate Middleton, per a body language expert, appeared to have a modern queen-like presence. The Prince and Princess of Wales arrive at the 76th EE BAFTA Film Awards, where Kate and William share a cheeky moment. Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Wales on Feb. Lighthearted vibes all around! February 19, 2023 “If she sinks up here, we were never here, okay? You never saw us,” the prince jokes. During the trip, Kate and William tour the National Maritime Museum Cornwall and take a look at the refurbishment progress on the Kiwi, a 14-foot sailing dinghy that actually served as a wedding present to Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip from the Royal New Zealand Navy. The duo pay a visit to Cornwall, marking their first official joint visit there since becoming the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. “Catherine's very good though.” S'cute! February 9, 2023 “I do a bit of cooking, not much though,” he says. Wills lauds his wife's skills in the kitchen during a visit to the charity Together as One, where he is a part of a cooking lesson. Naturally, a body language expert has a LOT to say. In their 2010 engagement interview with ITV, Kate said it took time for them to get to know each. You can’t get a cigarette paper between them. Prince William, 40, and Princess Kate, 41, have stayed mum about the exact moment that they met. “They honestly couldn’t be happier as a couple. Prince William and Kate Middleton, who made a personal donation to the UKs Turkey and Syria earthquake relief fund in February, visited Hayes Muslim Centre earlier this morning. “It’s just b******s,” says a friend from their circle. I'm not a party animal, despite what some people might think, Wills. June 17, 2022Īfter a chill year full of royal balcony appearances and fancy hats, a source tells the Daily Mail that “scrutiny and gossip” about Kate and Wills’s relationship is false. William and Kate could scarcely have been described as homebodies during this period. News breaks that William and Kate (who spent much of the pandemic in their country home) are considering a move to Windsor in order to be closer to the queen and Kate’s family. Welp, after a testy year filled with affair rumors and a major feud that consumed the entire family, Will and Kate are much closer, with their busy work schedules bringing them together. A mole also told me that to ensure that the royals are not embarrassed or made fun of again at such a prestigious event like this one….” February 6, 2020 Sean said they were most upset by Rebel’s joke and “this was not met with the smiling faces that you saw on the final edited version of the show. According to sources of Fox News’s Neil Sean, Will and Kate were much more upset than the two-second clip let on. William and Catherine want privacy and a rural setting for themselves and their three children - George, nine, Charlotte, seven, and four-year-old Louis. 5/30/2023 0 Comments The bungalows key largoOur room had a bit of road noise outside but it’s a narrow island so hard to avoid. It appeared we were being put close to the road and she basically ignored me. Not a great first impression, really acted like she couldn’t be bothered. If I had one complaint it would be that the person that checked us in was very aloof. If you don’t like the policy book somewhere else. I agree they should be more flexible about early check in and check out but when you book this is all clearly spelled out. I really don’t understand some negative comments. Staff at this resort really appear to attend to the guests needs. We loved the water sports and the guys that work there are very helpful. We spent yesterday at the Zen pool in our own cabana being served drinks and lunch! Heavenly. Every staff member we met couldn’t have been more pleasant and helpful. The property is very well laid out but the bikes were great. Our room included two bikes which we used all weekend to get to the pool, activities and restaurants. The room was so clean, well appointed with an outdoor shower and tub. Our bungalow 233 was located in a very private area. Our stay at The Bungalows was amazing! The resort is absolutely beautiful, immaculate and a perfect place to celebrate our 40th anniversary. I’m a previous B&B owner so I’m pretty picky when I stay anywhere. I am driving back from a weekend stay and felt the need to write a review immediately. Service is why I couldn’t give them a 5 rating! More Show less At breakfast buffet one morning, nobody came up asking what we want to drink till we were done eating. At the Zen Pool 1 day, the server would circle by every 30 mins…you would literally have to wait this long for your drink. Some servers were very attentive but some are REALLY slow and look like they don’t enjoy their job. Resort amenities-this is one area where they could improve.volleyball court, water aerobics in AM, more workout equipment (only 1 treadmill), swim-up bar would be nice. Decent variety of beer/wine and basic liquor is included. Food-good, not great-typical resort food but the food at the Bogie and Bacals is very good.highly recommend. Would prefer they stock room with beer/wine too.typical in Caribbean resorts. Views from front porch of a garden view will be a road and front doors of other units. We did a beach front bungalow and the view is great. Fly direct from Nashville to Miami, rented a car.easy drive. We decided to try this place last minute. I’m writing this review comparing to adult all-inclusives in Mexico which I think are typically the best in my experience (we like the Excellence brand). 5/30/2023 0 Comments Lost in the city hanoi rocksNow with 40 minutes to play the boys go for the throat with a huge battering ram of a finish with “Get off your Knees”, “Freak Show” and one of my favourite tracks “Dark Days” before knocking us for six with “Ace of Spades” Time for the Motorhead fans to go batshit crazy as we jump into a manic version of “Going to Brazil” and the Welsh godfather of rock is on fire.Īge of Absurdity makes an appearance in “High Rule” before we blast into another Motorhead classic in “Born to Raise Hell” and the early start is forgotten and the quickly filling up venue is bouncing.

New singer Joel Peters has cemented his place as he prowls on the monitors. If you didn’t know who this band are they let you know straight away with “We’re the Bastards” and the high octane night is off to a flyer with this belter. This band have been cutting a path with incredible live shows and some brilliant albums and proving they are a major draw in their own right as the many Motorhead and band t-shirts prove.

At 16, using audio editor Audacity, Malone created his first mixtape, Young and After Them Riches. The name was rumored to be a reference to the professional basketball player Karl Malone, but Malone later explained that "Post" is his last name, and he used a "rap name generator" to get "Malone". Career 2011–2016: Career beginnings and StoneyĪccording to Malone, he chose "Post Malone" as his stage name when he was 14 or 15. He says soon afterwards he transitioned to softer rock as well as hip hop, before beginning to experiment on FL Studio. According to Malone, his first foray into professional music began when he was in a heavy metal band. Malone has always had a love for alternative rock music, and appeared for a DJ set at Emo Nite in Los Angeles in June 2017, playing songs by American alt-rock band My Chemical Romance at the event. He credited his initial interest in learning guitar to the video game Guitar Hero. Malone began to play the guitar and auditioned for the American band Crown the Empire in 2010, but was rejected after his guitar strings broke during the audition. When Malone was nine years old, he and his family moved to Grapevine, Texas after his father became the manager of concessions for the Dallas Cowboys. His father had been a DJ in his youth and introduced Malone to many different genres of music including hip hop, country, and rock. He was raised by his father, Richard Post, and his stepmother, Jodie. Early lifeĪustin Richard Post was born on July 4, 1995, in Syracuse, New York. He holds several Billboard chart records: he is the first solo artist to top the Rap Airplay and Adult Contemporary charts, while "Circles" set the record for longest climb to number one (41 weeks) on the Adult Contemporary chart by a solo artist. His fourth album, Twelve Carat Toothache, was released in June 2022, spearheaded by the US top-ten singles " I Like You (A Happier Song)" (featuring Doja Cat) and " One Right Now" (with The Weeknd).Īmong the best-selling music artists with over 80 million records sold, Malone has won 10 Billboard Music Awards, three American Music Awards, and one MTV Video Music Award, and received nine Grammy Award nominations. Its second single, " Circles", reached number one and set the record for most weeks (39) in the top ten on the Hot 100. His third number one, " Sunflower" (with Swae Lee), was the promotional and lead single to the soundtrack for the film Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), and was included on Malone's third album, Hollywood's Bleeding (2019) the album was his second number one. It also contained the US number-one singles " Rockstar" (featuring 21 Savage) and " Psycho" (featuring Ty Dolla Sign) and was nominated for Album of the Year at the 61st Grammy Awards. His second album, Beerbongs & Bentleys (2018), debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 and set several streaming records. Malone signed a recording contract with Republic Records and released his debut album Stoney (2016) it contained the diamond single " Congratulations" (featuring Quavo) and set the record for most weeks (77) on the US Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. Malone began his music career in 2011 and gained recognition with his 2015 debut single " White Iverson", which peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100. His stage name was derived from inputting his birth name into a rap name generator. Known for his variegated vocals, Malone has gained acclaim for blending genres and subgenres of hip hop, pop, R&B, and trap. 20's 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's Addams Family Alice in Wonderland Animals & Insects Around the World Avengers Batman Baywatch British Careers & Professions Cartoon Characters Catwoman Cavemen & Women Christmas Circus Clowns Cops & Robbers Cowboys & Indians DC Comics Dinosaurs Disco Disney Disney Princess Doctors and nurses Easter Egyptian Elvis England Fairies Fairytale Festival Film & TV Flintstones Food and Drink Frozen Funny Gangsters Ghost Busters Grease Greek & Roman Halloween Harry Potter Hawaiian & Beach Hen Party Historical How to Train Your Dragon Incredibles Iron Man Marvel Mary Poppins Masquerade Medieval Mermaids Mexican Military Minions Minnie & Mickey Mouse My Little Pony Ninjas Oktoberfest Party Ponchos Paw Patrol Peppa Pig Piggy Back Pirates PJ Masks Pokémon Pop Stars Princess Rainbow Religious Roald Dahl Robin Hood Sailor Sale School Uniform Scooby Doo Sexy Space Spider-Man SpongeBob Sports Squid Games St.Austin Richard Post (born July 4, 1995), known professionally as Post Malone, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and record producer. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Dr. healthnutThe books offers the solution of changing the unhappy unhealthy state of kids,by asking parents to take the responsibility,teaching them to make the right choices through the beat diabetes pyramid,while keeping in mind the dos and don'ts for building a strong foundation of healthy eating for children.Ī picture is worth thousand words,that so true with this book.Includes more than 100 capturing photos of picture-perfect food comparisons(calories,fiber,fat and sugar) that help you make the right choices.
