Special effect pigments are used in a higher volume than other paints to enhance the color by reflecting light to create a striking amber highlight that looks different throughout the day. Here I show the differences between the Blue Yeti and the Blue ember microphones. At some point, Granny tells her that she's okay, and Lina can go back to sleep. To develop Blue Ember, the Ford Color Mastering team intermixed complementary colors, or harmonious colors, that are opposite to each other on the color wheel.

She goes to her, and holds her hand and strokes her forehead. During the night, Lina hears Granny calling her.Since she has colored pencils for once, she decides to color in the sky and make it blue-which is strange, since everyone in Ember knows that the sky is black. Housed in a very modern-looking metal enclosure, it measures just 219 x 38.26 x 31.91mm, feels reassuringly solid, weighing in. As usual, Lina draws the city she sees in her mind. Designed with both podcasters and home-studio owners on tighter budgets in mind, Blues Ember is a transformerless, fixedcardioidresponse, side-address, back-electret capacitor microphone.In order to keep Poppy occupied, Lina suggests that they draw. I'm reviewing the Blue Ember (See it at Amazon), which is a microphone also intended for streamers and gamers, but one that’s quite a departure in several ways. An ember, also called a hot coal, is a hot lump of smouldering solid fuel, typically glowing, composed of greatly heated wood, coal, or other carbon-based. So, there is not much price gap between both microphones. The knobs and buttons are not there, so it may. Blue Ember worths 100, while Audio-Technica AT2035 worths 150. The metal body gives this microphone a premium feel. ![]() You can easily sneak it anywhere, as it picks up sound from the front of the mic from the end of the mic. The side-address design of this microphone makes it easy to position in tight spaces. During a lucid moment, Granny asks Lina whether they'd found "it." Lina assures her that they have-whatever that means. Blue Ember has a compact and sleek design.The town doctor comes to check on Granny at Lina's request, and tells Lina to stay home to take care of Granny that day, make her soup, stuff like that.When she goes in to wake Granny, she finds that the old woman has come down with a fever. To learn about how embers ignite homes, visit Be Ember Aware. There are many things you can do to decrease your home ignition potential, many of which costs little money and can be done in a weekend. Most of the activity that makes a home less vulnerable to ignition addresses the home and its immediate surroundings out to 100 feet. Homes that are not vulnerable to ignition will likely not burn in a wildfire. All Brands, All Bar One, Browns, Castle, Ember Inns, Harvester, High Street, Innkeepers Collection, Miller & Carter, Nicholsons, ONeills, Premium Country. Recent research from Jack Cohen, Research Physical Scientist with the USDA Forest Service, suggests that more commonly, homes ignite either by being preheated by an approaching wildfire to the point of combustion, or more commonly, from air-borne flaming brands and embers commonly called “red snow.” Watch the video of Jack Cohen’s experimentsįlaming brands and embers can travel as far as five miles ahead of the active front of a wildfire and recent research has shown that up to 60% of wildland/urban interface home ignitions are from “red snow” landing on flammable roofs or in other flammable objects, which in turn ignites the home. Od muzyków po podcasterów, Blue Ember jest idealny do wielu zastosowa. But it is rare to have a home ignite this way. Many people believe that wildfires ignite homes by the direct contact of flames on flammable surfaces.

We've all heard the number by now: 71 years since the last Cubs World Series. TWO MEN WHO ATTENDED 1945 SERIES WILL SEE CUBS IN SERIES AGAIN "Typically I would have just a handful of people looking at it, but last weekend it jumped up to 100 views a day," Aguilar said. He said it didn't occur to him to jack up the price for the World Series and his listing was snapped up right away, compared to the more expensive ones that haven't been rented yet. My main goal is to treat everyone just normally regardless of what event it is," said host Oliver Aguilar.Īguilar has been an Air BNB host for a year, renting out a bedroom in his Uptown apartment building for $100 a night. "I really didn't think about it to be quiet honest. Listings are ranging from $1,000 to $5,000, which is shocking to some Air BNB hosts. Hundreds in Wrigleyville have joined the legion of hosts on Air BNB, hoping to provide a place to crash Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the right price.

Tornatore said airfares to Cleveland are averaging about $450 roundtrip for Games 1 and 2 and $350 roundtrip for 6 and 7. Orbitz Senior Editor Jeanenne Tornatore said about 50 percent more Cubs fans than Indians fans are expected to travel for the World Series. As of October 12, more than 1.7 million fans had registered for the lottery. The Cubs said thousands of tickets will be available through the lottery but an official number will not be released. The Cubs postseason ticket lottery could be the only way to buy tickets at face value unless you have season tickets.

Since it was next to a major transportation route, the Chao Phraya, and close to where this river flows into the sea, the village of Bangkok became an important transit point for goods entering or leaving the country. That name may be a derivation from koh, meaning “island”, or it may come from the Thai word for the hog plum tree, makok nam, many of which used to be grown there. They have been painted directly onto the white walls between the window openings the scene depicted in each is unique.ĭuring the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767), the only settlement in what is now Thon Buri was a small riverside village known as Bangkok. The most admired of all the murals here show devaraban (deva guardian spirits). ![]() A rendition of the Lord Buddha subduing Mara has been painted on a side wall (whereas during a later period, between the late Ayutthaya and early Rattanakosin eras, it was traditional to place this image on the wall opposite the principal Buddha statue). The most outstanding feature here are murals decorating the interior walls. Transverse beams support some sections of the structure. The ordination hall is quite small with a ceiling comprised of individual planks of wood, so it looks much more uneven than the perfectly level ceilings in more recently constructed temples. This design of brick was popular at that time. I tested it and I recommend it.Wat Chaiyathit is a very old temple dating back to the early Ayutthaya period, a fact attested to by the discovery, under a section of ground between the ordination and prayer halls, of a mass of bricks, each pierced by eight holes. Another option is the Co Van Kessel Bike Tour + Boat with a bicycle ride through the small streets of Chinatown, Thonburi and the countryside around Bangkok and a boat ride on the klongs. It is much more expensive but more interesting too. Otherwise, for a fuller tour and longer tour, you can hire a local guide. Count around 1200-1500 THB per boat for a 1h30 tour. It's really cheap! Alternatively, from the main pier on Chao Phraya river like Sathorn Pier for instance, you can hire a longtail boat for a tour on the klongs. By the way, you can also go to the floatings markets of Taling Chan or klong Lat Mayom by bus or taxi (I explain how to go in detail on the pages dedicated to these markets) and take a collective boat trip for an boat tour on the nearby klongs. Then you can make a tour that includes one or more floating markets that only take place on weekends. The boat tour offer is very large but I advise you, if possible, to make this visit on a Saturday or Sunday morning. The most famous klongs are: Bangkok Yai, Klong Mon, Bangkok Noi and Klong Om. Before the advent of the car, these canals were the main traffic and trade routes in the Thai capital city. For me, it is really a must do experience during his stay in Bangkok to discover another facet of the city, more rural, more rustic, more exotic. And there are very nice boat trips to make on these small canals. Indeed, the city is covered with a multitude of canals called ''klongs'' in Thai. Bangkok is sometimes called the Venice of the East. If anything it looks as if Blizzard’s balance changes had the opposite effect of what was intended. After the balance changes Druid is represented in the top tier 4 out of 7 times, in the middle tier 3 out of 7 times and was never bad. In the middle tier Druid was represented 6 out of 19 times. Prior to the change, Druid was represented in the top category 10 out of 19 times. This kind of data allows us to ask if these changes had any meaningful impact. They removed some problematic mechanics, but Druid more than any other class received significant changes. Classes that are bad most often trade places with middle tier classes, hardly ever do we see a meta where Druid, Warlock and Warrior are all bad.Īpril 24th 2016 Blizzard announced that they where making significant changes to the core set which would be evergreen in standard. Paladin and Priest are nearly always bad. We get the following:ĭruid, Warrior, and Warlock are nearly always playable. If we define ‘playable’ to mean a class is in the top or middle tiers and ‘unplayable’ to mean a class is ‘bad’. The reason they are not an exact inverse is due to the ‘middle tier’ catagory: Not surprisingly, ‘bad’ classes are a near inverse: For example, what classes are the best and how often? blizzard’s server logs), but sadly we only have access to summarized data.Ĭompiling data in this way is labor intensive to be sure, but it allows you to ask interesting questions. When doing an analysis like this, we will get more consistent results if the source of data was consistent over time (e.g. taking two many data points from one distribution (the months of dominance of shaman for nearly all of 2016) while ignoring others that lack data (the very powerful and brief freeze-giants mage 2013). I did not choose to sample each and every meta snapshot, this would result in over-sampling, i.e. Mean Streets of Gadgetzan(December 2016) – Whispers of the Old Gods (April 26th, 2016) The League of Explorers (November 2015) – The best expansion *picking a snapshot far enough after release to see secret hearthstone/meta-snapshot/legacy/meta-snapshot-28-oh-secret-tree-oh-secret-tree The Grand Tournament (August 2015) – Oh Xmas tree, how we hate () – Undertaker Nerf Rise of Mechīlackrock Mountain (April 2015) – Rise of Grim Patron ![]() Warrior Hunter Mage Paladin Drui d Priest *note I try to get a good snapshot at around the time, but it () Reynad creates Zoo, Feb 28 2014,Ĭurse of Naxxramas (July 2014) – Undertaker Hunters are 9/dodds-rogues-to-be-toned-down-priests-warriors-to-be-buffed/ The results are shown in the table below: Meta Timepoint In cases where the metasnapshot was not yet established, I extracted the data from alternative websites that where available at the time. Whenever possible, I took the top decks from Tempo Storm’s meta snapshot. ![]() By looking at the history of the meta in response to the Blizzard interventions, we can determine if the game is becoming more interesting (more strategies in the meta) or more stale (a single dominant deck). ![]() Historically, Blizzard has changed the meta via card releases and nerfs. I believe that the best way to control the overall ‘fun’ or enjoyment of the game is to change the meta. Life changes that makes it impractical to continue to play.īlizzard has the ability to control some of these issues but not others.Net-decking makes it impossible to play innovative decks as soon as a week after new content is released.As a data scientist, I could not help but notice that because of the questions they asked, the survey would not correctly identify core issues that cause people to leave the game. The Hearthstone team has the impossible task of giving hearthstone professionals regular updates to ensure that content is not stale and at the same time, casual players much less content so that they are not overwhelmed.īlizzard recently released a survey asking many detailed questions of its players so that it could improve its games. Players need to realize that they do a great job on the content and they need to be compensated for the great job that they do. Several members of the Hearthstone team should be commended for their positive interactions and responses to the Hearthstone community. There has been 8 new content releases, the release of a new standard format and 18 patches to correct mistakes. Blizzard’s Hearthstone team has done a wonderful job of responding to the community over the past 3 years. Then look at them in the "improved" versionĢb. Look at the red detain in the water of the beach in the unaltered image. Though one is usually important, its not here for the even worse reason that the originals were all far better than the filtered images! Why bother uploading this rubbish? Did you even bother to compair or is your eye that attracted to the early digital noise reduction effect of smearing?Ģa. This is what any self respecting site that has to so with image comparisons would do. Or simply have one image and a list of links that dynamical and instantly change that image so comparisons can be made in detail. When doing comparison shots, have a mouse over load the second image and a mouseoff show the first. With this experience with a wide range of digital images from a cross-section of cameras, it is time to discuss the impact of Noiseware in more detail. A large selection of images has been Noiseware-processed in the last few weeks. Some cameras showed dramatic improvement in noise and others, like Nikon and Canon cameras, showed very little improvement with Noiseware processing. The results were so impressive we tried the Noiseware processing with other camera images. Gary certainly has the credentials that persuaded us to try his suggestion and we were frankly astounded at the results we achieved by processing the Sigma JPEG files with Noiseware. It isn't super speedy, but I've got model test shots I've shot with it and lots of sample images on my SD14 test images website at if someone wants to really see what is possible with the SD14 in real life." Noiseware saved my shoot and I was able to save the images and use them in my latest gallery exhibition of my photography at Moral of the story? The SD14 works just fine when you know the nature of the best and have the right tools to pull the results you want from this camera. Even Noise Ninja couldn't clean up those images. When I got back to Florida and post processed the images, I thought the shoot was a complete bust, until a pro buddy of mine suggested Noiseware from Imagenomic. But after spending all this money on the helicopter, I was going to try to get my money's worth. It was a disaster in the making, forcing me to shoot at ISO 800. We couldn't remove the doors off the helicopter, so I had to shoot through the canopy which lowered the light about two F-stops and also needed to use a polarizing filter which further lowered the light. ![]() I found this out after a helicopter shoot of the Hawaiian Islands with the SD14. ![]() If you sent me the raw images of the pictures you posted shot at ISO 800, I'm sure that Noiseware would take care of the noise in these images easily, salvaging them for you. So how does someone who wants to shoot at higher ISOs with the SD14 deal with this? Imagenomic's Noiseware program is the best solution I've found to date. In fact, the SPP 3.2 and 2.5 versions of the Sigma Software barely address noise after the fact. The SD14 doesn't do any serious noise reduction in the image coming out of the camera. The supposedly raw images produced by most Bayer-sensor cameras are in fact heavily edited images prior to downloading them to the computer. I've found that other DSLR systems use in camera noise programs that produce soft, but less noisy images right out of the camera even when shooting raw. There is a lot of controversy concerning the low light performance of the SD14 and also higher ISO 400 and up noise issue. "I've been using Sigma DSLRs from the very humble beginning of the SD9 to the current SD14. He provided us with useful insight to the SD14 noise "problem" and a suggestion: We received a very interesting email from a Gary Mercer, one of the professional photographers featured in the Popular Photography December 2007 Sigma SD14 promotion. |
