If you want to hide the projector down in your bushes and project a spooky loop of ghosts dancing onto a sheer sheet hung in your front yard, for example, you’ll need to use the keystone adjustment to compensate for the angle between the projector lens and the sheet. Keystone adjustment allows you to mechanically (ideal) or digitally (serviceable, but less ideal) adjust the projected image to compensate for the projector not sitting at a perfectly level 90 degree angle in front of the projection material. You want 2,000+ lumens of illumination (2,500+ is even better), you want the ability to scale your image up to a pretty substantial size (at least 300″ if you want to create a spooky display that can be seen at a distance), and you want to be able to easily adjust the keystone/angle of the image, because you’re definitely not going to be projecting under ideal ceiling-mounted-to-flat-wall conditions in most Halloween setup scenarios. In fact, we can apply the basic ideas behind selecting a backyard projector used for summertime movies to selecting a projector for Halloween decorations. RELATED: How to Throw the Ultimate Backyard Movie Night Realistically, however, the noise of the event (party goers, trick or treaters, etc.) will typically cancel out any fan noise. Some of the factors that are important for a home cinema (like quiet fans) aren’t particularly important for Halloween unless you intend to use the projector in a very quiet room as part of a haunted house effect or whatnot. When selecting a projector for a Halloween project, your primary consideration should be brightness and adjustability.

Maybe the 2 + 1 + Core model we saw in Ixalan + Dominaria or Guilds of Ravnica + War of the Spark is best since you can seed ahead of the standalone within the same year.Īll I know is I really don't want to see the same thing that happened with Oko happen again. Maybe you need to break down the Core Set walls and have it serve a dual intro and supplementary purpose more. Maybe standalone sets need to share mechanics. But that sucks, because everyone loved Constellation in Journey to Nyx and hated seeing nothing more of it. Mechanics become disposeable, you don't care a ton if they fail, and you don't go on Oko sized excursions pushing them. The other option is treating everything like an old small set. Maybe this is another issue, since those sets and the Ravnica ones were so busy they didn't have space. Throne of Eldraine feeds Theros Beyond Death's assumed Devotion theme well, but War of the Spark and Magic 2020 didn't really feed Throne of Eldraine. You have general ideas of a block's mechanics early enough to seed it months or a year ahead, but not a single set. That was repeatedly implemented block-to-block, but that now has to be woven in on a set-to-set basis. You don't have to push and worry as hard if mechanics grow and change over time. The Soulshift and Spirits mattering was a key part of Champions of Kamigawa block, and Ravnica: City of Guilds had plenty of Spirits to grow those synergies. One came about after the Affinity fiasco. I'm not sure either is optimal, but I present them anyways. How do you make them in a single set without having this issue again? You have less cards to spend on them now that everything is single serving. Parasitic mechanics will be made again because they do new and interesting stuff. If you want another actionable, large scale design lesson from Oko, it is here. Even when Attune with Aether was banned, Energy showed up. When you ban Oko, and that's a when not an if, you will see basically no Food. The failure case came true, and Oko "succeeded" at surviving that. Food as a mechanic has largely missed Constructed, we just see a lot of it from Oko and Gilded Goose. If you look at Simic "Food", the only real Food card is Wicked Wolf. So numbers get pushed a bit to ensure it works by itself. Even if Food misses, you want this card to hit. You are spending a planeswalker on it, and that planeswalker is one you are setting up as a prominent current and future antagonist. I'm not excusing missing the utterly stifling impact Oko's +1 has on deck building, but the rest falls into place, And Vampires and Dinosaurs both got raised to highly competitive options with some targeted Magic 2020 buffs.įrom this idea of having one shot to make Food hit Standard play, the narrative of creating Oko, Thief of Crowns is easy. If you push too hard and don't print appropriate interaction to punish going all in on that one thing, you can easily end up in a scenario where that thing outclasses everything else.īut Energy didn't really go over the top without Rogue Refiner from Aether Revolt. That might be an equally bad mistake on its own. If you don't push enough, you get Ixalan where the tribes barely made an impact. You push the power level on some of the pieces, because if you don't you wasted a lot of cards that only work with each other. Every more subtle interaction in the format now has to stack up to those obvious ones. The pieces fit together and make all the other cards that do it better. The best recent example is Energy, though the classic is Affinity for Artifacts. Another common theme among Magic mistakes is a parasitic mechanic running out of control. Trail begins at the Mingus Mill parking lot just north of the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. Mingus Creek Trail - An in and out hike, 6 miles in length easy to moderate with an elevation gain of 1515 feet. Most hikers turn around at mile 2.1 at the Kephart camping shelter. In the first quarter mile, you’ll see remnants of the depression era Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp. With an elevation gain of 955 feet, the trail is considered moderate. Kephart Prong Trail - 4.2 miles in and out, the trailhead is on Newfound Gap Road (US 441) about 7 miles north of the Oconaluftee Visitor Center. Popular for its spectacular views, Andrews Bald is accessed via the Forney Ridge Trail, which is located at the far end of the Clingmans Dome parking lot. The hike as an elevation gain of 1640 feet and is considered strenuous.Ĭlingmans Dome to Andrews Bald is a moderate 3.5 mile hike (in and out) with an elevation gain of 899 feet. You can access the trail at Wesser in the Nantahala Gorge, Fontana Dam, Newfound Gap, and at Clingmans Dome.Ī popular section of the AT is from Newfound Gap to Charlie’s Bunion. The 8-mile-round-trip hike passes through a spruce and fir forest with spectacular vistas. The Appalachian Trail stretches through Swain County from south of the Nantahala Gorge across Fontana Dam and then follows the highest ridges of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park past Clingmans Dome and Newfound Gap on its way to Maine. Through the tunnel at the end of the ‘Road to Nowhere’, there’s the 3-mile Goldmine Loop Trail and the 42-mile Lakeshore Trail, which crosses Forney Creek, Hazel Creek and Eagle Creek on its way to Fontana Dam. Near the three-mile mark you’ll see the remnants of an old farm. From a parking lot near the end of the Road to Nowhere, Noland Creek trail is an old service road with a gentle grade. Noland Creek Trail - 6 miles in and out, easy. At the crest of Beauregard Ridge the trail then narrows to a razorback with views of Bryson City, the Tuckasegee Valley and the Nantahala Mountains beyond.įor the more adventurous, the Noland Divide Trail connects Deep Creek with Clingmans Dome Road. For the first three miles there’s an elevation gain of 2300 feet. The trailhead is just inside the Deep Creek park entrance, in the horse trailer parking area across from the Deep Creek campground. Noland Divide Trail to Lonesome Pine Overlook - The 6.7 mile hike (in and out) is strenuous but the views are spectacular. Many choose to walk this trail “down” from Newfound Gap Road. For most this is a one-way hike, requiring a second vehicle at the end of the trail.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Time Out Los Angeles Haring’s colorful, energetic designs-like his barking dogs or crawling stick figure-like radiant baby-have moved well beyond the world of street art over the past four decades and ingrained themselves as instantly recognizable pieces of pop art. As for the theater itself, which is due to be renovated in phases starting later this year, you’ll find it on the second floor of the shopping center at 8000 West Sunset Boulevard. At $17.50 for a weekday matinee and $25 for a weekend evening, you’ll be paying a slight premium over a typical multiplex that grants you access to all of the photo ops, though if you want a T-shirt you’ll need to opt for the premium experience ($50, with a concession combo included). The experience runs from June 15 to 30 (though there’s a chance some of the Asteroid City theming will stick around once the theater commences its regular programming). As far as theming goes, you’ll find a handful of costumes and charmingly-assembled photo ops pulled straight from the film: You can gaze out through a desert cottage window, squeeze into a phone booth and step up to a lectern inside a crater. The new Landmark Theatres Sunset (the former Sunset 5 along the West Hollywood border) is devoting all five of its screens to Asteroid City and has flipped its lobby into a recreation of the film’s fictional town and 1950s-style luncheonette. McCarthy - who was named an “Icon” of the WeHo Pride Parade - hung out for an hour after the parade to take photos with fans.Wes Anderson’s latest is a witty, wise and heart-stirring sci-fi flick, and you can step inside a recreation of its fictional 1950s desert town during this screening event. Throughout the parade, many marchers carried signs that said “Drag Is Not a Crime” in protest of the current wave of anti-drag legislation in the U.S. On Sunday, at the WeHo Pride Parade, Melissa McCarthy topped off her rainbow-colored outfit with a headpiece that said “Say Gay,” a rebuke to Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which opponents have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill for its restrictions on talking about sexual orientation and gender identity in schools in the state. 'Barbie' Production Prompted International Shortage of Pink Paint for Greta Gerwig's Film Tyler James Williams Warns of the Danger of Speculating About Someone's Sexualityĭrag Superstars Trixie and Katya on World of Wonder Series 'UNHhhh': "This Show Demystifies Drag" That scene, mixing politics, purpose and performance, was one of many similar ones that unfolded throughout the second annual WeHo Pride, held over the weekend of June 2-4 in West Hollywood, California. But, noted Peck, a judge in Tennessee had just a day earlier ruled that the state’s recently passed law forbidding drag performances in public is unconstitutional, drawing cheers from the thousands in the crowd. “Obviously, there’s a lot of parts of this country where people don’t feel safe so we have to band together to make people as safe as we can,” country music star Orville Peck told the audience at the WeHo Pride’s Outloud music festival on Saturday, referring to the wave of anti-trans and anti-drag legislation that is upending lives and spreading fear in states across the country, including Texas and Florida.

The city is the home of Marshall University as well as the Huntington Museum of Art the Mountain Health Arena the U.S. With the exception of the neighborhoods of Westmoreland and Spring Valley, most of the city is in Cabell County. The first identifiable permanent settlement, Holderby's Landing, was founded in 1775 in the Colony of Virginia. The site, previously a collection of agricultural homesteads, developed fast after the railroad's completion in 1871 and is eponymously named for the railroad company's founder, Collis Potter Huntington. The railroad founded Huntington as one of the nation's first planned communities to facilitate the railroad and other transportation-related industries at the railway's western terminus. Its location was selected as ideal for the western terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, the predecessor of what would become CSX Transportation which still operates CSX Transportation-Huntington Division in the city to date. Also, it is considered a scenic locale in the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The city is a vital rail-to-river transfer point for the marine transportation industry. Surrounded by extensive natural resources, the industrial sector is based in coal, oil, chemicals and steel, all of which support Huntington's diversified economy. It is home to the Port of Huntington Tri-State, the second-busiest inland port in the United States. Both the city and metropolitan area declined in population from the 2010 census, a trend that has been ongoing for six decades. After World War II, due to the shutdown of these industries, the city lost nearly 46% of its population, from a peak of 86,353 in 1950 to 54,844 in 1990. During the 1900s, the city was a major hub for manufacturing, transportation, and Industrialization. Its metro area, the Huntington–Ashland metropolitan area, is the largest in West Virginia, spanning seven counties across three states and having a population of 359,862 at the 2020 census. Huntington is the second-largest city in West Virginia, with a population of 46,842 as of the 2020 census. The county seat of Cabell County, the city is located at the confluence of the Ohio and Guyandotte rivers.

The pilot, turning out to be Joe Fang (the final boss of the first two Virtua Cop games), shows himself. Enduring the heavily guarded area, the three make it inside the hangars where a crab-like mech provokes the three to a life-or-death duel. Rage, Smarty, and Janet make a sneak attack through the sewers before ultimately catching up with the military base. At the end of the bank mission, Janet receives disturbing information that the reason for the ECM's bank robbery was to retrieve a secured package of dinosaur genes.Ī military base has been seized by the ECM. The ultimate battle between the Virtua Cops and Brand ensues. Rage and Smarty survive Gale and pursue the bank robbers, ultimately being pushed towards the subway where Brand is hiding. Once Rage and Smarty spot Brand, the mastermind of the robbery, in the building, a chase ensues, but after Rage and Smarty endure the interference as they make their way out of the building, Gale interrupts them once again. The VCPD Riot Squad is no match for the ECM's munitions, prompting Rage and Smarty to assist the disadvantaged riot squad. The ECM is robbing a large bank in downtown Virtua City. While the VCPD manages to secure the pharmacy building, Janet receives disturbing information that the pharmacy's genetic cloning sample is missing. Proceeding deeper inside the pharmacy research lab, Rage and Smarty encounter a man named "Glitter", who masterminded the invasion. During the pharmacy mission, Rage and Smarty encounter a mysterious man known as "Gale", a ninja with unknown intentions. Rage and Smarty are dispatched by the VCPD to apprehend the invaders and secure the building. The ECM has taken over a large pharmacy building. The game follows Michael "Rage" Hardy, James "Smarty" Cools, and Janet Marshall, as they investigate three crimes performed by Virtua City's new crime syndicate, the ECM. Virtua Cop 3 has three chapters (referred to as Missions) which can be played in any desired order. The newly designed gun used in the game is named the Guardian II, and was designed by Tokyo Marui, famous for their model guns. Like the previous installments, players progress through the game choosing between three missions which vary in difficulty. The alternative weapons include the Smith & Wesson Model 629, Benelli M4 Super 90, H&K MP7, and the H&K G36C. Virtua Cop 3 also allows players to toggle between different weapons by pressing a button on the gun instead of having to use just one weapon, as in previous entries in the series. The meter can be replenished by shooting more enemies. During ES mode, time slows down as the player's ES meter is depleted, allowing the player to shoot projectiles. The game introduces a slow-motion " bullet time" mechanic, "ES mode", which allows players to slow down time by stepping on a foot pedal. Virtua Cop 3 retains the same gameplay as its predecessor with players shooting onscreen enemies using a gun controller. A port for the Xbox was planned, but later cancelled. The game is available in standard and deluxe cabinet formats and runs on Sega Chihiro arcade hardware. Virtua Cop 3 is the third and final game from Sega's Virtua Cop light gun shooter franchise released exclusively for video arcades in 2003.

Otherwise, you may need to invest a lot of money in extra chairs, tables, and other amenities. This tends to work best for smaller ceremonies. Start by considering free options, which might include a loved one’s backyard or land. So, if you can get a venue that accommodates your guests at a fraction of the cost, you could save a ton of money.
