B larson captain marvel9/28/2023 “Captain Marvel” seems good for the world. What world am I creating for an individual? Because these films exist in way more places than I do. Yeah, why not? I mean, I don’t know what’s a great year, but I feel like I’ve always been really committed to paying attention to what it is that I’m making. Your 2019 has been “ Captain Marvel,” “Avengers: Endgame” and “Just Mercy.” Does that feel like a great year? That level of caring, humanity and empathy. And my goal would be to collaborate with him forever.ĭestin just loves people, you know, and it comes through - it comes through in his films. He is my favorite person to go into the dark with. I will work with him as long as he asks me to show up. When there’s so much true, honest vulnerability between people, it just solidifies relationships in a way that nothing else does. It’s a level of depth that’s kind of beyond words, because we’ve just shared so much together. His family is my family his wife and kid are my family. This is your third movie with Destin Cretton. And those are things that will stay with me for the rest of my life. What it was like for Jamie to grow up in Texas, for example. In the actors’ holding area, Jamie would hold these conversations, and I would sit there and listen to people talk. And I felt very open to learning what ally-ship is right now. And I will forever be a student of Bryan Stevenson for that reason. And I still was just getting schooled every day. And I’m somebody who is very curious and wants to do the most that I can. So it was just a really humbling experience. And experiencing that 100 times in a day does something really remarkable to your brain that makes things feel so clear and so vital. I think we all felt it we felt that tension, and felt the heaviness of that. And that part of me that was just holding my breath. And there was not one time that I didn’t feel, in every cell of my body, the anticipation and the fear. I sat in that room and waited to hear the verdict 100 times. And we had an entire day of hearing Walter’s final verdict. There are certain days, the courtroom days in particular, that are such high-stress scenes that involve so much tension. It’s set in the past, but it’s just so topical. “Just Mercy” covers so many topics: mass incarceration, racial injustice, police malfeasance and the death penalty. It was also Cretton who first told Larson to read “Just Mercy” prior to filming “The Glass Castle.” “I became very passionate about that book, and about Bryan in particular for a couple years after that,” Larson says.įor this week’s Power of Women issue, in which Larson is honored for her philanthropy with the Equal Justice Initiative, she spoke to Variety about “Just Mercy,” her time as a Marvel superhero and why she doesn’t Google herself. Larson was brought to “Just Mercy” by Cretton, and it’s their third collaboration after “ Short Term 12” (2013) and “The Glass Castle” (2017).

Redds art new leaf guide9/27/2023 After acquiring the piece, if you don't fancy traipsing all the way to your museum you can instead take it to Reese at Re-Tail. If you don't mind taking theĬhance, then purchasing from a villager can lead to bargains. Since you cannot see the artwork before buying from a villager, it is best to avoid such purchases if your only aim is to fill the artwork section of the museum. Unfortunately,Ĭrazy Redd is known to sell counterfeits, and your villagers just aren't knowledgeable enough to know whether they've sold you a forgery or not. Irrespective of whether you obtain art pieces from a villager or from Crazy Redd, your museum has high standards and accepts only genuine pieces. Crazy Redd usually charges 3,920 Bells for an artwork piece, but this can be slight less if you have good Piece of art from Redd on any given day, regardless of which town the purchase was made. This is because each player is allowed to purchase only one Just be sure that they haven't already purchased from Redd elsewhere that day. Want, you can ask a friend to visit and buy one for you. If you don't have enough players to buy all the pieces you That means if you have four players then you can buy him out. Purchase one piece of art per player each time he arrives in your town.

Sonia kashuk concealer palette review9/27/2023 Overall, I think Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tints make a find addition to your Summer make up bag. So far it’s wearing quite well but I’m wondering if it might melt off after a bit….I’ll tuck it into my makeup bag just in case I need a touch up. I haven’t worn out as of yet but I do have Rose on right now and I’m taking a trip to the movies in a little bit so we’ll see how long it wears after sitting through Manhattan traffic and a two hour movie. I don’t think the product will work well on dark skin girls as it’s a bit to subtle however anyone that’s fair or medium can very well take advantage. I’m not favoring any of the shades as I think they are all gorgeous colors and each offers a nice flush of color. The shade selections are Peony which is a hot fuchsia pink, Poppy which is a peachy coral, and Rose which is a rich red rose shade. The bottles are a cheery color that matches the blush inside, very cute in my opinion. A very slow pump will get you just the right amount of blusher so be gentle. I like the pump applicator as it distributes product nicely enough but it does have a little bit of a learning curve as pressing too hard ends up with too much product. Actually it’s quite a great little blush if you like to slowly build color up or just prefer a subtle kiss of color rather than full on blushing cheeks. They blend nicely but you may find that a single pump won’t do and you’ll want to build up color with maybe a drop or two more. The consistency of the formula is a runny gel which was also a little bit disappointing as I was hoping for creamy. I admit I was a tad disappointed they weren’t as pigmented as I had hoped. The shades are all rather loud, bold, and outrageous but once they are blended out it’s a subtle, natural finish. It’s the little things in life that really delight me and the smell of these kinda made me smile. The novelty is the scent! Teehee! They have a slightly fresh, fruity smell. These little guys come in a generous pump bottle in three different shades for $9.99 each. So jump ahead for a review of Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tints sponsored by Jai!Īs I was telling you last night these intrigued me especially since I enjoy liquid stains and such in the Summer, well ok all year round I love stains. Thank Jai, I’m a love you for buying me liquid tints to review. He hands it over and says, “Biatch, don’t tell people on your blog about where I pick up hot guys!” Obviously, I can’t accuse Jai of not reading my insanity here on Musings, he sees all, hears all, and knows all. I just got done meeting up with my best friend Jai for some incredible sushi (yums!) and in he walks with a little bag swinging from his arm that contained all three of the Sonia Kashuk Super Sheer Liquid Tints.

Epson scan v600 software9/27/2023 It's important to put this in perspective. To avoid adding grain or noise to the low contrast areas of your scan, you'll want to increase the Threshold dramatically. In most Unsharp Masking dialogs those are Amount/Intensity, Threshold and Radius settings.īut in sharpening a scan (rather than a digital photograph), you'll want to affect higher contrast edges more than lower contrast edges. You can specify the amount of brightness to add to the edge pixels, the brightness difference to define an edge and how wide a border to be affected. The solution to this has always been to apply some sharpening to the scan. As Taz Tally explains the phenomenon in his excellent SilverFast: the Official Guide, "Because a scanner does not capture all of the available image data but rather samples an image and averages the values, it tends to slightly lower contrast along high-contrast edges and smooth out the image." A raw scan will always look softer than the original. One of the more misunderstood aspects of scanning is sharpness. The 6400 dpi of the V600 easily exceeds that requirement. To get an 8x10 from that 35mm frame, you have to be able to scan 2400 dpi. If you need 150 dpi to make a good print on your inkjet printer, the biggest print you can make with your 1200x1800 images is an 8x12 (on, say, 9x13 paper).īut if your printer needs 300 dpi (like a 4圆 dye sub printer), the largest print you can make from that same image is just 4圆. Do some tests to confirm the manufacturer's recommendation. Simple math.įind out how many dots per inch your printer requires to make a high quality print. If you scan a 35mm film frame (which is 1.0x1.5 inches) at that resolution, your image size will be 1200x1800 pixels. So if a scanner touts an optical resolution of 4800x9600, it's the 4800 that matters.Īn inexpensive flatbed may have an optical resolution as low as 1200-dpi (although the trend is upward). The second one is usually higher - and inconsequential. Two numbers represent optical resolution: the number of sensors in the sensor array and how finely the stepper motor can move the sensor down the scanner bed. But scanning itself remains a black art and this brief discussion of some of the darker corners can help keep frustration at bay. You can skip our Short Course on Scanning if you know this stuff already. SHORT COURSE ON SCANNING | Back to Contents We were particularly curious to see how it measured up to Canon's MP980 all-in-one, which is about the same price. But, he said, it outperforms inexpensive flatbeds.

Dogs king charles spaniel9/27/2023 In the early 1900s breeders attempted to recreate the earlier version of the breed they were largely successful and so was born the Cavalier King Charles spaniel. These modern King Charles spaniels, also known as "Charlies," had flatter faces, undershot jaws and domed skulls. By the mid-19th century, the English fashioned a new look for the toy spaniel and standardized its appearance. In the early days, breed standards were not recognized, although toy spaniels generally had flat heads, pointed muzzles and high-set ears. King Charles II was seldom seen without two or three Cavaliers at his heels, and he wrote a decree - still in effect today - that his namesake spaniel be accepted in any public place, including the Houses of Parliament, which were generally off-limits to animals. The Cavalier's other job was to attract fleas and thereby spare their masters the flea-transmitted bubonic plague.ĭuring Tudor times, toy spaniels were common as ladies' pets and, under the Stuarts, they were given the royal title of King Charles spaniel. A prescription written in Olde English for the Queen of England directs her to keep this "comforte dog" on her lap to treat a cold. This dog was originally bred to warm laps in drafty castles and on chilly carriage rides. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is the descendant of a small toy spaniel depicted in many 16th, 17th and 18th Century paintings of northern Europe. Light shedding, which occurs in the spring and fall, generally arouses little notice. Little more than a thorough weekly brushing is required, in addition to routine bathing and professional trimming as desired. Regular grooming is key to keeping the Cavalier's coat lustrous. Although these dogs have a proclivity for noisy greetings, Cavaliers generally are not protective. Ideal as a family dog or as a companion for "empty nesters," the Cavalier loves to cuddle and has been described as the perfect lap dog. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is easy to keep. These happy little dogs are excellent with children, and their desire to interact with their guardians makes them pleasurable household companions. Shyness and aggression, fortunately, are not part of this breed's behavioral milieu. The Cavalier King Charles spaniel is an enchantingly affectionate, playful, intelligent dog that eagerly indulges its guardians with endearing devotion. The coat is long, silky and soft and comes in four color combinations: red and white with a partial red mask and ears and red patches on a white body tricolor (black and white with tan points) ruby (solid red) and black and tan. The tail is carried gaily when in motion. The chest is moderately deep and the body is compact. The neck is fairly long and set atop sloping shoulders. The long, feathered ears, which are set high and wide on the crown, fan forward slightly to frame the face when the dog is alert. The skull is slightly rounded, and the muzzle full, but mildly tapered. The face of the Cavalier is distinctive for its sweet, gentle expression that owes much to its large, round, dark brown eyes, set well apart. Its diminutive figure is 12 to 13 inches high at the withers and 13 to 18 pounds (6 to 8 kilograms). The overall appearance of the Cavalier King Charles spaniel is regal and sophisticated, yet charmingly cute.
