Whiskey isle of jura12/28/2023 Now, most of you who are familiar with Jura would know that they traditionally focus on releases with either a bourbon influence or something to do with American Oak. I admit that most of it was rather unique in itself (and pricey too), but then this particular Jura expression caught my attention. In fact (and this might surprise some of you), the Isle of Jura Superstition was the very first single malt whisky that I tried back in 2008 when I embarked on my journey of discovery (the blended whisky journey had started 2 years earlier).Īs time went on, I delved deeper into the rest of the Jura range of whiskies and savoured the 10 Years Old (which is a solid dram and one of my go to whiskies at Duty Free if I’m looking for something unpeated), the heavily peated Prophecy (which I immensely enjoyed), the interesting 16 Year Old Diurach’s Own (takes a bit of water to get going) and of course the 1993 Sherry ‘Ji’ Cask, which is the focus of this review.įollowing on with how these reviews usually transpire, I was at Whisky & Alement in Melbourne back in July and was savouring a few drams with some mates at the bar when curiosity got the better of me and I started flipping through the bar menu in search of somthing unique. Now, I use the word only with every ounce of respect for Jura as it is a phenomenal distillery. It is traditionally in the shadow of its far more celebrated brethren, Islay, but that is probably due to Islay having 8 (soon to be 9) distilleries and Jura only having the one. The Isle of Jura (both the island the distillery) has fascinated me for quite a while and with good reason.

Sdltrs problems12/28/2023 Likewise if you try to load a state from the menu. If you try to “Save State As…” while running the emulator, you’ll probably crash it. However, MESS is a bit buggy in handling these - well, okay, quite buggy. Mostly I’ll distribute state files, as this seems the simplest approach on this platform. When I look at a work for this blog, I’ll provide a way for you to also have a look on the emulator, should you wish. (All of the resources I provide on this blog will be for the latter.) Note that I’m running the Windows MESS it’s possible that the executable will have a slightly different name under another OS. To get your TRS-80 running, you need to open a command prompt in the root directory of your MESS installation and type “messpp trs80” for the Level 1 BASIC TRS-80, or “messpp trs80l2” for Level 2 BASIC. The “sta” folder is where your saved states will go. You won’t need to mess with this folder, unless you decide to emulate more systems using MESS in the future. In addition to a “mess.ini” file, it will create two folders, “roms” and “sta.” The “roms” folder contains the TRS-80 Level 1 and Level 2 ROMs, which are stored under MESS in a somewhat different format than under most emulators. Unzip it into the same directory where you put the rest of MESS, making sure your decompression program unpacks the full folder structure. Next, download this little TRS-80 add-on kit I’ve created for you. (I believe Linux users will have to compile it to get an executable.) Stick the whole thing in a single folder somewhere. Bear with me and I’ll try to get you going as painlessly as possible.ĭownload the latest version of MESS from the Mess home page. This emulator can be a right bastard to get set up and running, and it’s certainly got its fair share of quirks, but it’s the most complete and usable TRS-80 emulator I’ve found. So, I’ve decided to do what I’d been hoping to avoid, and make The Official Digital Antiquarian TRS-80 Emulator the one that’s included in the MESS Project. Its cassette management seems hopelessly bugged, amongst quite a number of other small niggles. Well, SDLTRS isn’t working out for me that well, and you guys apparently aren’t too thrilled with it either. If you should have any problems getting an emulator working, feel free to contact me and I’ll try to help out. (If I learn otherwise, I’ll of course have to take them down.) Included in the zip file are ROMs for both the original BASIC authored by Steve Leininger (“level1.rom”) and the much more usable Microsoft BASIC that Radio Shack released in 1978 (“level2.rom”). I’m going to take the chance that Radio Shack no longer thinks or cares about them and host them here. These are still under copyright to Radio Shack, and not distributed with most emulators. Whatever emulator you end up choosing, you’ll also need the TRS-80 ROMs. David Keil’s emulators, for instance, want to bang the hardware of their host platform directly, and so are subject to some limitations when running on more recent Windows variants that disallow that sort of thing. And there have been a number of other emulators released in years past, but I believe most of these are obsolete now in one way or another. The MESS project also includes an emulated TRS-80 that works very well, but getting that up and running will take a bit more effort. I’ve therefore been using a much more obscure emulator, SDLTRS, which not only runs properly on my Windows machine but also has versions for the Mac and for Linux. And since it’s a closed-source application, I can’t try to fix it. In addition to being Windows only, however, it also has some problems running under 64-bit Windows 7: it hangs for up to a full minute before displaying file dialogs. It’s certainly the slickest and most polished that I’ve come across. The most popular and publicized emulator as I write this seems to be TRS-32 by Matthew Reed. For anyone whose interest is piqued by any of what will follow, I thought I’d offer some hints on getting your own TRS-80 up and running via emulation. As time permits for the next little while I’m going to be exploring some of the works produced for the TRS-80, the most popular platform of the very early home-computer era.

Meanwhile, the first fairy was still banging and clattering at the kitchen sink, scouring and scrubbing, scouring and scrubbing. The fairy tossed a bundle of clothing into the washer, then cranked the machine on til it was whirring and churning, thumping and bumping. NARRATOR: Before Oliver knew what was happening, the second fairy whooshed past him. NARRATOR: And who should come speeding into the house when Oliver turned the knob… but one more fairy!įAIRY 2: “ Doing laundry is the worst,” you say? / Then I’ll take over! / Heed and make way!!!! NARRATOR: Well… the minute Oliver spoke those words. The laundry! I almost forgot! And I thought washing dishes was the worst.? No way! Doing laundry is the worst. Beside it was the laundry basket, piled high with dirty shirts, wrinkled pants and sweaty socks. NARRATOR: But then Oliver’s glance fell on the washing machine. Is this really happening? Is that fairy really washing the dishes for me? It’s like a dream come true! In an instant, dishes were banging and clattering as the magical creature set to scouring and scrubbing the plates, bowl, pots and pans. NARRATOR: Oliver gasped as the tiny sprite zipped above his head. NARRATOR: As Oliver ran to the door and turned the knob, who should come barreling into the house… but a fairy!įAIRY 1: “ Washing dishes is the worst,” you say? / Then I’ll take over! / Heed and make way!!!! OLIVER: Is Mom back already? Did she forget her key? NARRATOR: The moment Oliver uttered those words, he heard a knock at the door. OLIVER: My goodness - how can one pancake breakfast make such a big mess? Ugh. It was piled high with dirty, sticky plates, bowls, pots and pans. As the car started up and drove away, Oliver cast his eyes on the kitchen sink. So he promised he’d finish his chores before Mom got back. But you also know how he felt about pizza! NARRATOR: Well, you know how Oliver felt about chores. Finish all those chores before I get home, and I’ll take you out for pizza tonight - your favorite!. MOM: Sorry to rush out of here like this, kiddo! But listen, can you be a dear and wash the breakfast dishes while I’m gone.? And do the laundry.? And vacuum the floor. NARRATOR: One morning, after a big pancake breakfast around the kitchen table, Mom told Oliver she had an important meeting in town. NARRATOR: But also like many children - maybe even you - there were things Oliver did not enjoy. OLIVER: Eating pizza! Lots and lots of pizza! Like many children, maybe even you, there were many things Oliver enjoyed. NARRATOR: Not so long ago, in a town not so far away, a boy named Oliver lived with his mother. The jazz trap kit usually consists of a bass drum, snare drum, tom, hi-hat and ride cymbal, making it much leaner and more compact kit than a rock kit. Jazz drummer Matt Wilson calls the drum set a “melting pot,” since it combines so many traditions although it’s a uniquely American invention, it mixes elements from Africa (tom-toms), Asia (cymbals) and Europe (snare). “Trap” is short for “contraption,” and the contraption known as the drum kit (or drum set) got its start in New Orleans in the 1890s, when crafty musicians rigged the snare drum, bass drum, and cymbals of a marching band into a single contraption for the stage, so that one drummer could play them all.

Warriors vs nuggets12/28/2023 The Warriors rank below average on both offense and defense. The way the supporting cast has been playing, this looks a lot more like last year’s Atlanta Hawks, with one star point guard trying to carry a very underwhelming supporting cast. Golden State Warriors standouts Draymond Green, left, and Kelly Oubre Jr. Curry has shown he can still hit those highs, but Wiggins and Oubre are a far cry from Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant, so it’s simply not responsible to think of these Warriors in the same light anymore. There’s just a serious dearth of talent on this roster, which is nothing like what it once was a few years ago. James Wiseman is making more of an impact, but hurting the team with mental lapses as he adjusts. Green is barely impacting the box score, though his performances go well beyond the numbers. Andrew Wiggins has his moments, like always, but isn’t consistent. The rest of the players simply haven’t shown up yet. The Warriors have fully been the Steph Curry show thus far. However, the last convincing defeat hasn’t happened since New Year’s Day. Golden State’s five losses have been by seven or more points, with three of them via blowout. Golden State has a pair of one-point wins, with most of the Warriors’ victories coming against weaker teams. The Warriors might be 6-5 so far, but their record actually flatters them. The Warriors appear to be playing better since the return of Draymond Green, so will Golden State keep forging ahead or will the Nuggets get to. Both franchises have been relied too much on their franchise players thus far, with Steph Curry and Nikola Jokic among the early leaders in the MVP race.Īt the same time, both supporting casts have been unreliable and unstable. Surprisingly, it’s the Warriors who have the better record right now at 6-5 versus the Nuggets with a 5-6 mark. We’ve got a fun one to wrap up our Thursday slate, with the Denver Nuggets hosting the Golden State Warriors in a battle of two of the league’s marquee and most watchable teams. Get an INSTANT $500 deposit match at BetMGM today or see more offers and reviews for the best online sportsbooks. The Nuggets are just 5-7 against the spread on back-to-backs this season, and I think this is a solid spot to take the Warriors to win again as they look to turn their season around.Odds as of Wednesday at 6 p.m. The Warriors finally got back in the win column in their last game, and they’ll be motivated to get this game with the Utah Jazz creeping up for the No. The Nuggets have already gone 3-0 over this stretch, so it’s possible Nikola Jokic and others sit tonight.ĭenver did sit Jeff Green, Bones Hyland and Will Barton on Wednesday, but I still hate this turnaround regardless of who is in. The Nuggets can’t afford another injury, and playing four games in five days is a recipe for disaster. 5 seed in the Western Conference, and while every game counts at this point of the season, I’m not sure that Denver will be rolling out its entire team on Thursday. Nuggets Odds, Spread and Totalĭenver has now pulled into a tie with the Dallas Mavericks for the No. It will be tough sledding with Steph Curry and Klay Thompson going for Golden State, but here are the odds for this game via WynnBET: Warriors vs. Nikola Jokic’s squad pulled out the victory against the Sacramento Kings on Wednesday, their fourth straight, but do they have enough left in the tank to win this game? The Nuggets will get the Warriors again in this matchup, and they did beat them on Monday in Denver. The NBA’s schedule makers did not do the Denver Nuggets any favors this week, as a makeup game with the Golden State Warriors earlier in the week will now have Denver playing its fourth game in five days on Thursday.

Freedom of speech12/27/2023 It has been interpreted to apply to a dizzying variety of kinds of speech and expressive conduct. The Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment has for decades now served as one of the most powerful mechanisms of individual rights protection in the Federal Constitution. References to freedom of speech should be understood to include the rights that might other-wise be understood, and historically were referred to, as freedom of press. Although good arguments have been made for why it is a mistake to equate freedom of speech with freedom of press, for simplicity’s sake, and in order to better reflect how the terms are used in contemporary constitutional discourse, in this Article I do just that. The result has been to make freedom of press and freedom of speech merely different ways of describing the same underlying bundle of rights. West, Awakening the Press Clause, 58 UCLA L. Although the text of the First Amendment distinguishes between the “freedom of speech” protected by the Free Speech Clause and the “freedom of press” protected by the Press Clause, in its First Amendment cases, the Court has generally refused to distinguish between the two. It is easy enough to understand why discussion of freedom of speech and press has tended to be so First Amendment–centric. If one takes a look at the tremendous amount of writing that has been produced to analyze, celebrate, or deplore how expressive freedom has been legally guaranteed in this country, one will quickly see that the vast majority of it focuses on the Free Speech and Press Clauses of the First Amendment and the judicial opinions that interpret and give those clauses force. The First Amendment dominates both popular and scholarly discussion of freedom of speech in the United States. The result is a deeply inconsistent body of First Amendment law that relies on a false view of both our regulatory present and our regulatory past - and is therefore able to proclaim a commitment to laissez-faire principles that, in reality, it has never been able to sustain. Missing from the Court’s understanding of freedom of speech is almost any recognition of the important nonconstitutional mechanisms that legislators have traditionally used to promote it. And yet, the Court’s view of the relevant regulatory history is impoverished. This is because in few other areas of constitutional law does the Supreme Court look more to history to guide its interpretation of the meaning of the right. Recognizing as much is important not only as a descriptive matter but also as a doctrinal one. It also makes evident that the contemporary system of free expression is much more majoritarian, and much more pluralist in its conception of what freedom of speech means and requires, than what we commonly assume. It reveals that there was more legal protection for speech in the nineteenth century than scholars have assumed. Doing so changes our understanding of both the past and the present of the American free speech tradition. This Article explores the history and present-day operation of this non–First Amendment body of free speech law. A rich body of local, state, and federal laws also does so, and does so in ways the First Amendment does not. Yet it is not the only legal instrument that protects expressive freedom, the rights of the institutional press, or the democratic values that these rights facilitate. The First Amendment dominates debate about freedom of speech in the United States.

Bloody roar extreme release12/27/2023 The tournament itself was a ploy to divert the attention to the King's research. At the end, not much it's known about them despite King Orion believes that they are necessary for his people, and the Prince Cronos, subject of this experiments, has eventually lost his control in the past, burning villages because of it. This experiments and the facility research appear to be real and leaded by King Orion himself. Among them there is Jenny, contracted to find the research facility, and Gado himself decided to make it "his last operation" before retiring from being a mercenary. Not all the participants are here for the money, some of them hope to investigate about potential shady businesses in the kingdom as the hiring of mercenaries and secret and cruel experiments on Zoanthropes. The tournament cash prize gets the attention of a lot of Zoanthropes around the world, especially the members, but they don't expect the participation of a powerful Zoanthrope, Cronos, King's Orion son. On the eve of a new treaty between the Zoanthrope Kingdom and the United Nations to assure military security to the kingdom, an army where Gado would be in charge of, the chief of the kingdom, King Orion, decides to launch the first Zoanthrope fighting tournament. As a nation of its own, the kingdom is looking to protect its population but also working with the rest of humanity to create a place of peace and equality between humans and Zoanthropes. Unfortunately, this is not enough to make the Zoanthropes feel safe among humans, this is why lot of them around the world get reunited to create their own kingdom, the Zoanthrope Kingdom. once a small volunteer group has now grown into a commercial enterprise. If only the participants knew what was really awaiting them."īecause of the ongoing tension between humans and Zoanthropes, the W.O.C. The winner would not only earn the title "Zoanthrope Champion," but also take home a handsome cash prize. In an effort to bring the nation together and show off the power of their Zoanthrope army and mercenary brigade, the kingdom decided to sponsor the ultimate Zoanthrope fighting tournament. Though nearly everyone, both Zoanthrope and human alike, strongly opposed these experiments, no one could prove that they were actually taking place, much less who was responsible for them. Even more troublesome for the infant nation were rumors of cruel experiments being carried out on Zoanthropes to uncover the secret behind their ability to transform into fighting beasts. However, the kingdom was young, and heavily relied upon its Zoanthrope army for security and on its special brigade of Zoanthrope mercenaries for income. "During the Age of Feuding between humans and Zoanthropes, a new kingdom was born.įounded upon and dream of peace and equality, for both, the new land attracted scores of Zoanthropes from far and wide.
