Destination weddings take longer to plan, so the sooner you can start this conversation, the better. Check out this year’s best local pros, chosen by couples like you. The wedding planner at Cabanas La Luna worked with one of our previous bride bloggers, Cortni, and she gave her this wedding timeline to help map out the months leading up to the wedding. Celebrate Then start plotting where in the world you want to host your special day. You can also fill in the number of people accompanying each guest. Croix, the three islands offer dramatic overlooks, clear blue water and white sand beaches. It’s also tricky because people have to buy flights much further in advance so save-the-dates and invitations have to go out much earlier than they do for a wedding close to home. All you have to do is type in the name of your guests when invitations go out and then update the sheet by choosing yes or no from the dropdown each time someone RSVP’s. Perhaps the easiest and best place to elope in the Caribbean for logistical purposes is the US Virgin Islands (USVI).

7/31/2023 0 Comments Bose 700 vs airpods maxThe Shure Aonic 50 are probably the most analytical wireless ANC headphones out right now but don't have enough bass for me and the sound changes too drastically when you switch on ANC. I can appreciate a warm/dark or neutral headphone as long as the tonality is tasteful to my ears.ģ) I have an honorable mention that I know is a favorite for some on here but are not my favorite. My ears have a tendency to be more sensitive to harsh upper mids as opposed to highs. I'm not sensitive to highs, so I don't mind a little elevation/sparkle up top if it's not overly done or harsh. Not overly done or loose/sloppy, but definitely present. I don't claim to be the best at verbalizing what I hear, so pardon me if I occasionally use terms in the wrong manner.Ģ) My preferred sound signature tends to lean toward a punchy, vibrant bass with some impact. I will do my best to explain what I hear and how it aligns with my preference in sound quality using as few words as possible. My opinions are based solely on what my ears hear and what I personally like. Figured I'd make a thread giving my thoughts on how they all compare and which is my personal favorite after weeks of going back and forth.ġ) I'm not a graph person. Well, a couple of months ago I decided to pick back up 3 of my older favorites in the B&W PX7, Dali iO-6, and NAD Viso HP70 so that I could see how they all compare to each other. Due to the fact that I only had in my possession the B&O H95 and AirPods Max, I could only compare off of memory. With the popularity of the AirPods Max, I've had a few members private message me asking me to compare various headphones to the AirPods Max or even the B&O H95. In that time I developed a few personal favorites that at different times I would praise/recommend here on Head-Fi. So, over the past few years I've tried almost every wireless bluetooth ANC headphone known to man. Modified all sections to account for these added headphones.Įdit () - Updated the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 Sound Quality after more experience.Įdit () - Repurchased the B&O H95 to directly compare to the newer Focal Bathys, B&W PX8, and T+A Solitaire T. Also changed all the rankings after more experience with each of these.Įdit () - Added the Bowers & Wilkins PX8 and Focal Bathys. Removed the NAD Viso HP70 as it has been discontinued. Removed the PX7 and Momentum 3 as they are now replaced by the newer, and in my personal opinion, improved models. Also added a personal favorites section to show which headphones I'm currently using and enjoying the most.Įdit () - Added Master & Dynamic MW75 AMG Edition and Bowers & Wilkins PX7 S2Įdit () - Added the Sennheiser Momentum 4 and Sony 1000XM5. Edit () - Added the Sennheiser Momentum 3 I picked up last week at a discount.Įdit () - Updated the entire post to account for the headphones I've added since the original post. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Best art projector for tracingThe new Flare150 and the popular Flare100 find a happy ground between price, size, and power. The newly redesigned EZTracer is a perfect, inexpensive, entry-level opaque projector for the young artist. The Tracer needs to be placed on a flat surface, but the Inspire1000 works very well on a tripod allowing you to position it to any angle you need. Both of these projectors are lighter and easier to transport. Portrait sized work is well served by the Inspire1000 in the digital line, and by the Tracer in the opaque projector line. If you’re doing close in, smaller sized work, especially if you can occasionally dim the room lights, a less powerful projector will work just fine. You can get that size with clarity if you can dim the lights in an opaque like the Super Prism.These projectors are physically larger and heavier than other models, so won’t be as easily portable and need sturdy platforms or stands to hold them. If you’re doing wall murals in a brightly lit area, you’ll need a brighter, more powerful projector, probably one of the higher-end digitals, like the Impression1400. The power/brightness and physical size of both your working conditions, and your artwork surface and type need to be considered.
7/31/2023 0 Comments Gems tv shopThe filmmakers made amazing use of all the things that can be found in a dealer’s office. All the characters were taught how to properly use a jewelry loupe, a simple act that is rarely done right on screen. The massive Furby pendant, custom made for the production, captured the crazy type of bling a dealer like Ratner would hawk. The accurate costuming of all the characters, loving dubbed Schmuck Style by Vogue, was carried out by stylist Miyako Bellizzi, along with consultant and “fashion mensch” Mordechai Rubinstein. Jewelers, a company on The Street that has clientele from the sports world. They also consulted with the Avianne and Co. Uncut Gems filmed exteriors on location, recreated a jeweler’s shop on a sound stage and used real dealers and jewelers as extras. It’s a setting they were intimately familiar with as their father once worked in the district. One of the most astonishing elements of the anxiety inducing plot is how the Safdies used authentic aspects of life on 47 th Street to tell the story. There is a lot of borrowing from Peter to pay Paul or in the case of Sandler’s character there are about 10 Peters and Pauls. Through the transaction the film lifts the veil on how dealers without cash can get it. His main hustle involves an uncut Ethiopian opal and the Celtic’s Kevin Garnett (playing himself). The adrenaline-fueled film from directors Josh and Benny Safdie, stars Adam Sandler as Howard Ratner, a 47 th Street dealer, who is running countless schemes simultaneously and doing major gambling on the side. Uncut Gems captures a certain side of The Street to absolute perfection. It’s an old world place with lots of grit and a language all its own. The shops and exchanges are open to the public, but mainly The Street is for the trade. In the rabbit warren of back offices there are bench jewelers making pieces for the big houses and doing little repairs. It comprises the Diamond District and dealers who sell everything from authentic vintage treasures and gems to findings and fake Rolexes. “The Street” is located between 5 th and 6 th Avenue, but the actual geography spills over into other blocks surrounding the main action.

For the diameter of the platter, you could get probably three hours (I'm estimating, it's been a while) worth of film to fit safely. But at the theater I worked at, and all the other theaters I have been to, we would build all the reels together onto one large platter so that no switching over was required and a movie could play continuously. On older projectors, changing reels could happen as you describe. I worked with films (literal film) as that format was dying out to give way to digital. So, from the start he worked on one part of the story at a time. Lucas knew that the story, as he envisioned it, was too long to tell in one film. However each episode was part of a larger, complete story. The reason that all those mini-series from the 70's and 80's like 'Roots' and Lonesome Dove' were so popular is that each section was written in an episodic fashion which had a beginning and an end. You need to plan for a film to be presented in two or more parts from the beginning and pace the plot and structure of the story accordingly. Besides, where do you cut it and still preserve the continuity of the story if it wasn't meant to be cut in half? The producer should have had an inkling of the film's length as soon as the script was written. It's simply unwise to simply split a story in two after production is completed just because it's too long. And, diminished box office returns on the second half might hurt the film's reputation overall and could lead to people skipping the first one as well. Those who aren't totally captivated by the story would simply skip the second one. Splitting the movie into two could be risky. Russell Westbrook ranks just above Beal in total turnovers.From ashy to classy. And while Beal ranks near the top of the NBA in a ton of impressive scoring stats, he’s also top ten in total turnovers. So who cares.Īnother way you can look at Westbrook’s triple-double streak? He’s now the first player ever to record a triple-double in six consecutive losses, dating back to last season. The records are great, but the Wizards’ record, 1-5, is not. It wasn’t until Beal’s sixth 30-point game (a game Westbrook missed) that the Wizards were able to convert some of these all-star stat lines into a win. It all sounds pretty great, right? Well, the Wizards have little to show for these historic starts to the season. Minnesota, Beal became the first player in franchise history to score at least 25 points in each of the season’s first six games. While many thought Russell Westbrook’s arrival would hurt Beal’s rarely seen individual numbers from the past two seasons, that doesn’t seem to be the case. He’s also getting to the foul line with great frequency, ranking second and third in total makes and attempts, respectively. He ranked second in total field goals (64). After his performance against the Minnesota Timberwolves (31 points, 7 assists, 3 rebounds), Beal ranked first in the NBA in minutes played (211), field goals attempted (134), two-point field goals attempted (101), two-point field goals (55), and total points (187). Bradley Beal‘s stellar start has also earned him a place in the record books and among the league leaders. Westbrook has also come just two rebounds shy of tying the franchise’s single-game rebound record for a guard: 17, done by both Darrell Walker and Earl Monroe.Īnd Westbrook isn’t the only record-setting Wizard this season. I’d be surprised if Westbrook doesn’t eclipse that mark by the end of February. Walker recorded 15 triple-doubles in 283 games for the Washington Bullets. The current franchise leader in triple-doubles is Darrell Walker. Westbrook is not done setting records this season. Only Andre Drummond and Rudy Gobert are pulling in more than Westbrook’s 12.8 rebounds each game. On the boards, Westbrook is ranked third in rebounds per game, eighth in total defensive rebounds, and twelfth in total rebounds. Westbrook is averaging 12.3 dimes per game, second to only Nikola Jokic. As of January 2, his 49 total assists rank third in the league. Russell Westbrook and Bradley Beal are doing everything except winning for the Washington Wizards.ĭespite missing two of the Wizards’ games already, Westbrook is among the league leaders in several categories. the Chicago Bulls (21 points, 11 assists, 15 rebounds), made him the second player to ever record three triple-doubles in his first three games of the season. His third game, another triple-double vs. He did a little bit of everything and became the first Wizards/Bullets player to record a triple-double in his debut. the Philadelphia 76ers - was classic Westbrook. Westbrook’s first game - 21 points, 15 assists, 11 rebounds vs. The guy has been doing unprecedented things for the franchise and the season isn’t even two weeks old. Take the early season performances from Russell Westbrook, for example. But the news of new records doesn’t tell the whole story, not by any means. A few record-setting performances might have you hopping on or even leading the Wizards bandwagon. If you were only looking at early-season accolades or individual box scores, you might think the 2020-21 season has gotten out to a wonderful start for the Washington Wizards. By Ethan Smith 2 years ago The Washington Wizards have had some pretty impressive feats this season. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Tag heuer monaco v4Designers in the watch industry such as Ruchonnet are no doubt talented and inspired, but are often known for delivering “incomplete projects.” What that means from a technical standpoint is that the Monaco V4 plan he gave to TAG Heuer was not for a working timepiece. Having said that, TAG Heuer did not come close to releasing the watch (which used many belts instead of gears in the movement) until several years later.įive years to be exact. Given that we are writing this in 2014, I guess it is the 10th anniversary of the watch. If you don’t know, the Monaco V4 was originally a sort of concept watch designed for TAG Heuer by Jean-Francois Ruchonnet back in 2004. It just goes to show that cool watches can fall through the cracks (though the video in this article is from a look we did in 2012). Back to top.It is a bit hard to believe that after all these years this is the first hands-on article we’ve done with the famous TAG Heuer Monaco V4. Limited to 50 pieces, the Monaco V4 Tourbillon will retail for 150,000 Swiss francs, which is equivalent to US$169,000. The Monaco V4 Tourbillon has a 41 mm by 41 mm polished titanium case coated in black titanium carbide. These are set at a gentle incline of 13°, just like the cylinders of a car engine. This novel but inefficient mechanism winds four barrels, arranged in pairs, which are each mounted on ball bearings, giving the watch a power reserve of 40 hours. The four inclined barrels with the linear weight in the middle But instead of a regular oscillating weight, it has a tungsten mass that travels on a linear, double-track rail, moving up and down to wind the watch. Like the original V4, the Monaco V4 Tourbillon is automatic. On the other hand, a belt transmission system requires more numerous and larger gears, resulting in an enormous complex mechanism, which is why the first V4 took years to get from prototype to final product. Though a belt transmission has a marginally lower efficiency compared to a well-lubricated gear system at the very start, over time the belt transmission will maintain its efficiency, while a traditional gear-based mechanism will deteriorate due to the break-down of its lubrications. The gear train and the tourbillon at left, linked by beltsĪnother advantage of the belts is that they are lubrication free. In contrast, the Monaco V4 Tourbillon rotates smoothly, once a minute, due to the seamless motion of the belt transmission. This eliminates the backlash present on a regular tourbillon which stems from the meshing of the teeth in its gears, which results in its ever so slightly jerky motion. Theīecause of the tension in the belts, there is no play between the gears as in a conventional gear train. The smallest belt is just 0.07 mm in width, about the width of a hair. With a movement comprised of 214 components, the Monaco V4 Tourbillon extends the belt transmission all the way to the tourbillon, with the tourbillon cage itself connected to a belt that drives it.įour belts made of an elastic polymer are used in the Monaco V4 Tourbillon, three for the gear train and one to link the barrels. It took six years to get to a working, commercially available wristwatch, but TAG Heuer has now integrated a tourbillon into the movement, creating the world’s first belt-driven tourbillon, the Monaco V4 Tourbillon. It had tiny belts to transmit the torque from the barrel, instead of conventional gears. Ten years ago TAG Heuer presented the world’s first belt-driven watch, the Monaco V4. 7/31/2023 0 Comments Mucommander ant build fileThe fact we use Java ease the production of a cross-platform application and the use of client libraries for various file protocols and formats.
