I then pinned it to the purple satin and cut it out. I went back to the cotton fabric, tried two more times, and determined the right size. I tried it on Georgia and it wouldn’t even fit over her head. We had a skirt!įor the top I made a “pattern” using the cotton fabric based on one of her dresses. I sewed one inch pleats all the way around, tried it on her again, and sewed one more pleat on each side so that it fit her correctly. Once it was cut out, I then held it up to Georgia and eyeballed the pleats. Next I ironed the purple satin fabric and pinned the pattern to it. When Georgia got home from school I held my “pattern” up to her, determined the length, and cut the extra fabric off the top. When I unfolded it, it turns out I had eight panels, but luck was on my side and the fabric was so long I was able to cut off two panels and still had plenty of fabric. Sofia’s dress is scalloped, so I cut a rounded edge on the bottom. I guessed on the length and then folded the fabric into what I thought was six panels. Because I didn’t want to ruin the luxurious fabric we had bought at JoAnn’s, Georgia and I stopped at our neighborhood fabric shop and picked up a couple yards of basic cotton fabric for under five dollars. Winging a peach costume or a draped Statue of Liberty costume is one thing, winging a dress is a little more nerve-racking. Now if you’ve read about our past Halloween costumes, you know I kinda just wing it when it comes to sewing. ![]() ![]() This was for the experience – and that’s priceless!! When we checked out we had spent $60 on everything from fabric for the dress, jewels for Sofia’s amulet, and some extra fabric that would be perfect for a custom Elsa cape! I had to mentally fight back my slight physical anxiety attack creeping up. It’s hard to say no to a four-year-old when you too want to buy the gorgeous sparkly purple chiffon fabric. Georgia and I were in heaven at the fabric store…each aisle got prettier and prettier. I could have easily bought it and been done, but I wanted to make it with Georgia. The Sofia dress was on sale at Target for $20. I know many blogs post tutorials about how to save money by making your Halloween costume yourself. I am determined to keep this holiday focused on her and am savoring every second she wants me to be a part of the experience! To get her excited I knew I wanted to have her help with as much as we could.įirst stop – a fabric store in the burbs! We found the closest JoAnn Fabrics to my grandparents’ house and stopped there one weekend while we were visiting them. I knew this could be my last chance to make Georgia’s costume. When Georgia announced she wanted to be Sofia for Halloween, I was equally as excited. Looking at our shopping cart, we felt a little ridiculous, so we paired down the items to a Sofia The First thermos and some stickers. I wanted to buy every item with Sofia’s face on it. This is where advertisers can get you! One romantic date night at Target with Chad, I almost couldn’t help myself. So after watching a couple episodes, I gave Sofia my “Mom Stamp of Approval” and I too became a little obsessed with the kind princess. I just want them to be nice human beings. And, honestly, that’s my main focus while raising our children. ![]() Here’s the main reason we LOVE Sofia – she is nice. One of those magical powers is the ability to talk to animals. She wears a necklace (her amulet) that gives her magical powers when she does something nice. (It’s all in the theme song.) Her mom married the king and she became a princess and gained twin step-siblings – Amber & James. After that we set our DVR to record every episode.įor those of you who don’t know, Sofia was a girl in the village doing all right, then she became a princess overnight. She loved reading the book and playing with the toys, but it wasn’t until she saw that show that she was hooked. We knew of her before because Georgia received a great gift for her birthday – a book that came with miniature figurines. This summer while on a vacation with our closest friends we were introduced to Sofia The First. And I absolutely love the excitement they are filled with when they dress up on Halloween. I love sewing, hot gluing, and crafting everything together. I love searching through stores for the right clothing and fabrics. ![]() I absolutely love making my children’s Halloween costumes. I have always enjoyed the fall, but it’s extra enjoyable now that I’m a mom. I love late September and the entire month of October. My favorite time of year once again provided weeks of craft projects and quality time with my kids.

![]() To avoid confusion, it is rounded to the next closest 100. ![]() Using the SI prefix, this is exactly 98.304 kbit/s, using the binary prefix, it is 96.000 kiBit/s. The versions that came afterwards can do this speed, and multiples of it. The numbers given after the FireWire, or the S give the approximate speed in MBit/s, rounded up to the next 100. The future products are intended to compete with the USB 3.0. It will use the same 9-pin connectors as the existing FireWire 800 and will be fully compatible with existing S400 and S800 devices. In December 2007, the 1394 Trade Association announced the products will soon be available using S3200 mode. However, while the IEEE 1394a and IEEE 1394b standards are compatible, connectors are different, making the cables used by previous versions incompatible.įireWire S3200 It is backwards compatibility to the slower rates and 6-pin connectors of FireWire 400. This newer specification (1394b) and corresponding products allow a transfer rate of 786.432 Mbit/s. It is fully data compatible with 6-pin interfaces.įireWire 800 (IEEE 1394b) ĩ-pin FireWire 800 was introduced commercially by Apple Inc. The 4-pin version is used on many consumer devices such as camcorders, some laptops and other small FireWire devices. It standardized the 4 pin connector already widely in use. Modification IEEE 1394a was released in 2000. Typically a device can pull about 7 to 8 watts from the port However, the voltage varies significantly from different devices.Įnhancements (IEEE 1394a) The 6-pin connector is commonly found on desktop computers, and can supply the connected device with power. Versions FireWire 400 (IEEE 1394) įireWire 400 can transfer data between devices at 100, 200, or 400 Mbit/s data rates. Sony's version of the system is known as i.LINK, and uses only the four signal pins, omitting the two pins which provide power to the device because of a separate power connector on Sony's i.LINK products The aim of current work is to incorporate all four of these documents into new revision of the 1394 standard. Apple intended FireWire to be a serial replacement for the parallel SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) bus while also providing connectivity for digital audio and video equipment.Īpple's development of the original IEEE 1394 was completed in 1995.It was followed by several modifications: The IEEE Std. History and development įireWire is Apple Inc.'s name for the IEEE 1394 High Speed Serial Bus. However, the copyright fees demanded from users of FireWire and the more expensive hardware needed to implement it has prevented FireWire from displacing USB in mass-market, where cost of product is crucial. It is available to general public on retail motherboards for do-it-yourself PCs, alongside USB.įireWire is produced in wireless, optical fiber, and coaxial cable versions. and Sony laptop computers and most Dell and Hewlett-Packard models currently produced. This feature is important for audio and video editors.Īlso many computers intended for home or professional audio/video use have built-in FireWire ports, including all Apple Inc. Compared to USB 2.0, it usually has higher data transfer rates. Perhaps more importantly, FireWire makes full use of all SCSI (older connecting possibility) capabilities. It is preferred over the more common USB because of its greater effective speed and power distribution capabilities, and because it does not need a computer host. ![]() FireWire is popular in industrial systems for machine vision and professional audio systems. ![]() In truth, though, the Margo we meet is fantasy through and through, an impossible person who exists purely to help the hero grow up. Ultimately, Q must realise that Margo is a human being rather than an idealised fantasy, a message sanctimoniously underlined in his final voice-over. Green is nothing if not a master of having it both ways: initially we are encouraged to side with Margo in her loathing of conformist suburbia, but gradually the story morphs into an ode to the everyday and the joy of fitting in. Paper Towns is mixed well too, almost to a fault: care has been taken to include the right number of toilet jokes and the right amount of navel-gazing, ensuring things don't get too edgy or not edgy enough. As Q's pedantic friend Radar, the practically unknown Justice Smith gives the perfect dejected reading to the funniest line, when he's forced to say something nice about a song he dislikes: "It was mixed well." Still, all the young actors have their moments, especially in scenes of group banter. Schreier sticks to a muted, naturalistic colour palette and does little to stylise the material beyond the occasional joky montage a few scenes set in shadowy, derelict buildings promise a swerve into horror that never materialises. In other respects too the film plays it safe, portraying only the mildest or most fanciful forms of teen rebellion. We hope you are watching Paper Towns full movie streaming on site with good quality. But this isn't pushed into David Lynch territory: despite his hang-ups, Q remains a decent, well-meaning kid. If you search, you will also discover some really good movies that you can legally watch for free. ![]() There were 7 other movies released on the same date, including Pixels, The Vatican Tapes and SMOSH: The Movie. This Gothic element in the narrative puts an unsettling slant on the scenes where Q's quest turns obsessive – where he and his friends start bribing their way into Margo's empty bedroom and rifling through her things. Paper Towns Release Date: When was it released Paper Towns was released in 2015 on Friday, J(Nationwide release). Margo is a free-spirited kook, but also embodies another, related archetype: the alluring but damaged Lost Girl, like Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks. She has an extensive vinyl collection, once ran off to join the circus, and uses capitals indiscriminately in writing because "the rules are so unfair to the letters in the middle". Viewers over the age of, say, 14 are likely to be suspicious of the whole conception of Margo, who may be named after Gwyneth Paltrow's character in The Royal Tenenbaums, and in any case is similarly all quirk. Q assembles a group of friends and sets out to find her, aided by the clues she's left behind – though there are intimations that his quest may be doomed, or at least that the journey will prove more important than the arrival. In a daring narrative gambit, Margo then disappears, staying absent for much of the movie aside from a couple of dream sequences. Then one night, she climbs through his window and leads him on the wildest night of his life, which mainly involves him helping her get revenge on her ex-boyfriend (Griffin Freeman) and other foes. Friends in childhood, Q and Margo drift apart in high school, where he grinds away while she keeps taking off on unlikely adventures. ![]() Apart from the tremendous contribution made by the writers and the director of the movie, the people who need to be singled out and applauded for the high quality of their work are Aamir Khan(his best role yet),Soha Ali Khan(who finally claims our attention with this role and is destined to be as distinguished as her mother Sharmila Tagore). ![]() I challenge anyone to name a film made anywhere in the last fifteen years or so to hold a candle to this one.It is simply awesome.As an entertainer it is superb, as purposeful film it goes even further.As a fearless, bold crusader for just causes it is beyond compare.The whole team deserves to be congratulated. ![]() If I wait any more to say all the things I want to say about this great soul-stirring movie I will never be able to say it.It is the best use of the film medium that I have seen in a long long time.Here in the west we have virtually abandoned good cinema.Where are our Capras,our Wilders, our Hitchcocks, our David Leans? We make trivia now that neither entertain nor enlighten.To put it very bluntly, we make utter trash.Good work in the world is being done elsewhere, especially in India where a Bhansali stretches the limits of cinematic expression, where a new Wilder emerges in the shape of Anees Bazmee, where Shaad Ali springs a surprise with a Bunty Aur Bubbly,where out of nowhere comes a Guru Dutt in the garb of Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and takes us to a new level of awareness and self-discovery through cinema in a stunning masterpiece called Rang De Basanti. ![]() Wide variety of percussion including Latin percussion, bongos, congas, timbales, wood blocks, bells, whistles, etc. Plus separate instruments (kick, snare, toms, hi-hat, cymbals) Open, straight mute, cup mute,Harmon mute, bucket mute Open, straight mute, cup mute, Harmon mute, bucket mute (all with extended range, one with extreme range), On a single computer or laptop, Mac or PC, Standalone, VST, DX, AU, RTAS, Runs in RAM ![]() Tongue/Slur Articulations, Intonation, Vibrato, Extended Ranges of the Instruments, Variety of Mutes & More.

When the last Plejaren immigration community came to earth around 13,500 years ago, it happened in a completely secret way, because since 389,000 years earlier other extraterrestrials had come to earth and had settled far and wide on all continents, above all, the long-skulled ones.Ĥ0. The cranial volume is up to 25% larger and 60% heavier than conventional human skulls and only one parietal plate instead of two, meaning the head could not have been intentionally deformed by “flattening”.ģ9. The DNA fragments studied indicate that they are a different “human-type” creature, far removed from Homo sapiens, Neanderthals and Denisovans. 1365-1347 BC.īottom Right (4): Four examples of the elongated skulls found at the archeological site in Paracas, Peru.

Because, in contrast to the round skulls of the human beings of Earth, they had skulls that were long and thickly protruding towards the back, they stood out unmistakably from the human beings of Earth just as other Earth-foreigners did around the world. Your father Sfath taught me during a leap in time into the past to the land there, where the Earth-foreigners ruled at that time, whom he called ‘long-skulls’ and whom I have seen myself, that they had been on Earth for thousands of years. ![]() Their early ancestors worked in many different ways on Earth, and also in various countries in Asia, North Africa and partly in Europe, but mainly in the early days in the North African country, which in later times was called ‘Kemet’ and then finally in later times Egypt, after which this name has been preserved until today. They stayed here and worked in many ways, as did their distant descendants, but they have also been active on Earth for centuries and millennia up to the present day, flying around and in and out of the Earth, and are observed again and again around the world by the Earthlings, whereby the American continent is of particular importance in this respect. Parts 1 & 2, will focus on a comparison of ancient America and ancient Egypt who share huge cultural parallels in religion, astronomy, architecture and the arts and how that relates to the new historical information provided in the Contact Notes.īilly: “With this I can say that the Earth-foreigners, who are generally simply called extraterrestrials or aliens by the Earthlings, have in fact been around for a long time. This series of articles aims to show the abundance of archeological evidence that has managed to survive which substantiates and authenticates that information which also fills in missing historical gaps and puzzling mysteries. ![]() Dating back 389,000 years ago, the real ‘ancient aliens’, the extraterrestrial ‘long-skulls’, settled on earth and left evidence of their influence in ancient Egypt and the AmericasĬontained within the hundreds of Contact Reports between Billy Meier and the Plejaren is information about Earth-man’s true history on the planet and its extraterrestrial influences. Money's music video depicts a bank heist, but "what a lot of people don't know is that Wayne was shooting two videos at once. It was just what I was seeing girls wear in the club and it kind of wrote itself." Now it's like Uggs and yoga pants and Starbucks cups. It was a rich white girl's uniform, it was so weird. The song's now-iconic refrain of "Shawty had them Apple Bottom jeans / boots with the fur" was inspired, in part, by "what all the girls were wearing. A lot of them turned into singles for Atlantic artists," including Flo Rida, then an up-and-coming rapper. "He gave me a bunch of beats and I just ran down the list and did a bunch of hooks. Low's hook was one of many that T-Pain wrote during a one-night writing session with Atlantic Records' A&R head Mike Caren. I got to the shoot and (Kanye) was like, 'Do you want to listen?' And I was like, 'No, I've heard it.' He was like, 'No, you're going to want to listen to the song again before we start.' " Even the last part that I sing - 'Is the good life better than the life I live?' - that was one of the hooks, and he just put it at the end of the song and made it a bridge." When it came time to shoot the music video, "it was a completely different song. What ended up happening was, he made a composite of all the hooks that I did and made the hook out of it. He needed something different that was real anthemic and blew his mind right away. T-Pain recorded a number of different hooks for Life, but "it just wasn't sounding right to Kanye. I gained tons of respect for Chris, he was really taking charge of that whole thing." Although Brown had already scored hits such as Yo (Excuse Me Miss) and Say Goodbye prior, "it made me feel like Chris had grown up and was doing his thing." Just watching how they were trying to split everything into two days was pretty funny because it was quite hectic and Chris would not let up on getting what he asked for. "It was a two-day shoot, but I was super lazy at the time, so I only showed up for one day. Kiss' music video shot on Florida International University's University Park campus in Miami. I was like, 'This is a pretty cool, dope song.' That's what really made me like it and then it became my first No. "It got to where I actually liked the song. I didn't like doing that, because that's not really making music to me - that's making hit songs to get some money real quick." The track started simple and sparse, before he started adding harmonies and ad-libs to the verses. That was the first time I had ever done that. What do you say to a girl to get her a drink?' I really went down the list. I was going into the studio consciously like, 'What do people like talking about? They like drinking and they like drinking with girls. "This is the first record where I was trying to make a hit song. I was literally trying to make a bad song but it didn't work."ģ. We're putting this out next week.' " The fact that it became a hit "threw me off. They heard the 'joke' and were like, 'This is the furthest thing from a joke. I started playing with GarageBand on my Mac and singing, 'I'm in love with a stripper,' and everybody was like, 'Yo, lay that down and we'll give it to (him) as a joke.' Then the label came in and we were going through some songs I had recorded. ![]() ![]() The next couple days in the studio, everybody was still laughing about it. "We got one girl to dance on him and he was just automatically trying to take her out of the club, pay for her tuition and do everything. ![]() Luv was inspired by a night when T-Pain took his friend to a strip club for the first time. It surprised me how fast it happened, but I already knew it was a good song."Ģ. It was kind of surprising once I found out what label money does to a song - just seeing it spread once the label got involved was amazing. It was fairly easy to get that done, because it was about something I am well-versed in: love." Before T-Pain had even signed to Jive Records, "the song was already circulating. "I was experimenting with Auto-Tune at the time and I really got into it. It was the kind of love that makes you write a song about it." The song itself came together quickly. T-Pain's debut single, Sprung, was written for his wife, Amber, whom he married in 2003 and has three children with. |
