Nasa huntsville2/28/2023 In July, campers got to meet the first Space Camp graduate to actually launch into space, Dottie Metcalf-Lindenburger. They even live in dormitories that look as though they belong on the moon or Mars.Ĭamp counselors - called crew trainers - are mostly university students or recent graduates in STEM fields - science, technology, engineering or math. They were strapped into a mock cockpit coming in for a Mars landing and sat behind computers as flight controllers for the Mars mission. They launched small rockets and got the feel of walking in space while dangling from the ceiling in harnesses or scuba diving in a water tank smaller but similar to what astronauts once used for practice. Nearly 1,000 campers from around the globe swarmed the rocket center during a typical week this summer. Space Campers sometimes leave bananas at her tombstone. Miss Baker, the squirrel monkey who preceded Mercury astronauts into space in 1959, is buried at the U.S. “It’s probably the most scientific small town in America,” said retired Apollo program worker Billy Neal, a volunteer docent who shed his white lab coat for that night’s Biergarten. Beverages included T-Minus, a locally made, tangerine-flavored beer. Engineers and their families mobbed a recent one. German-style beer gardens are hosted beneath the Saturn V every Thursday evening, spring to fall. This little part right here,” Hickam said, laughing, as he pointed to the capsule at the tip of the 363-foot-long rocket, stretching horizontally in its massive exhibit hall. “You look at all this whole great big Saturn V, and the only part that Houston was responsible for was, I don’t know. Hickam’s 1998 memoir “Rocket Boys” became the movie “October Sky.” “We’re looking to the future, really looking to travel in space, trying to figure out the problems of living and working in space,” Barnhart said.ĭespite Huntsville’s role, author Homer Hickam, a longtime Huntsville resident who’s now retired from NASA, sees Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Houston getting most of the attention when it comes to space travel. Ongoing research aims to return astronauts to the moon and on to Mars. ![]() “We’re all space geeks and we love it,” Barnhart said.īut Hunstville isn’t just about history. 1 paid tourist attraction, with bus tours into the restricted Redstone and Marshall, and wild rocket-style rides like Space Shot and G-Force Accelerator.

He didn’t live long enough to see Space Camp open in 1982 at the rocket center, but since then, 800,000 youngsters and grown-up space fans have attended daylong, weekend or weeklong sessions with space, robotics and aviation themes. Why band camp, football camp and cheerleading camp, but no science camp, he wondered. Von Braun planted the seed for Space Camp as well.

Rocket arena multiplayer2/28/2023 ![]() Add to this the combination of swinging, gliding and using architecture to transition smoothly from floor to sky and its clear that this can take many years to perfect. Techniques like Strafe-jumping, Circle Jumping and Bunny Hopping enable players to squeeze fast motion from their character. The movement aspect of play also adds another significant skill to learn in these games. Nexon America and Final Strike Games have announced Rocket Arena, a new 3v3 multiplayer first-person shooter thats due to enter Closed Beta testing next. Movement Shooters get around this unpopular technique (sometimes called "camping") because the ability to rapidly move through the world enables you to find and deal with hiding snipers. In a standard shooting game, a viable tactic is to hide somewhere and pick off enemies as they appear in the distance. by way of Quake Arena, and you’ve got the general gist. This not only adds novelty to the otherwise repetitive nature of shooting games, but changes how they are played more generally. That’s the basic premise behind Rocket Arena, a 3v3 third-person multiplayer shooter where the key to victory is not to gib your opponents into a splattering of guts and gore, but to instead punch them outside the arena. The player's main weapon is a rocket launcher, though there are items that the players can pick up in the arena. At launch, the game features 10 maps and 10 playable characters, each of whom have different abilities. The game does not feature a health system and instead relies a system named Blast Meter. Along with the usual walking, running, crouching, there are ways to swing, jetpack, climb, wall-run and generally use parkour-style motion to get where you need to be. Rocket Arena is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer game played from a third-person perspective. Elexs narrative is a bit of a mixed bag while certain characters and quest chains are incredibly well written, like in any game of this. Rocket Arena is a 3v3 competitive multiplayer game played from a third-person perspective. Movement Shooters are shooting games where you have a high degree of control of how your character moves around the world. The simple aiming and firing mechanic is creatively combined with other aspects of play that greatly alters the experience. However, not all shooting games are the same. Video games are often known for their gun play.

Happy birthday iggy pop2/28/2023 He did this, he told me, because he was originally a bassist and the heavier string was just more comfortable, but it also gave his style a kind of massive ambience.Īs we began playing this stuff live it was becoming obvious, we had some very strong shit. One key to this, and in a way the key to the whole sonic beauty of the album, was the fact that Ron played with a heavy gauge set of guitar strings. He had a beautiful set of fingers and a wonderful touch on his instrument. So I asked him to throw in a variation for my tag line, and to begin the number in the style of John Lee Hooker, an artist we both liked, playing the single notes against a one string drone, blues style, before letting it build up to full sonics. I thought, “oh shit that’s really got it!” but the way he was playing it, in the style of “No Fun” or “I Wanna Be Your Dog” from our first record sounded too large and thick to allow the song to go anywhere. He finally compromised by coming out into the hallway with his Fender Princeton practice amp and his Strat and played me the riff. To get that, I had to camp in the hallway outside Ron’s door for over an hour pounding and pleading with him to let me come in and write a god damn song. Eye was the key number on the record for me. So, one by one, the tunes were falling into place. We also had a rented truck that was driven by Eric Haddix, who was a very tough boy and all-around cool soul, who for some reason almost always wore black leather gloves. John Adams, who lived in the basement and did a variety of chores such as driving us around, getting us to gigs, and humping the equipment was the owner and chauffeur. One was a black ’57 Chrysler New Yorker with push-button transmission. The group had 2 vehicles that we depended on. As the concept progressed, I felt that the kind of music we were doing needed to expand and explode as the record moved forward, and that’s why we brought in Steve Mackay to help blow us over the top with his psychedelic sax. I’m not sure what Ron thought about that, but he definitely enjoyed what we were doing on this new record. Scott Asheton and myself were both very keen to do something much more aggressive than our first record which was more laid back in certain ways. Once it was solid, we’d play it at our gigs on the weekend. Anyway, I’d write a number that I thought the group could play well, bring it downstairs from my attic room and try to rehearse it up. So, he wasn’t as prolific as he had been previously, and I don’t blame him. Ron had gotten his hands on the best private apartment, and a nice girlfriend too named Shelly. The songs on the album were all written there, most of it in my attic bedroom. ![]() ![]() ![]() There was a lot of dope smoking, some good writing, and a bit of rehearsal done at that house which later became known as “The Funhouse” after the album. There was a kitchen, rec room, tv room, rehearsal room, 2 proper bedrooms, 2 separated apartments, and a converted attic and basement. The farmer was too old to live there anymore, so we took over. There was an abandoned corn field and junked car in back. It had a wide porch, a stately driveway, and a nice lawn and trees. The rehearsal room was set up in the former salon of a lovely old farmhouse we rented for $325 a month on the outskirts of Ann Arbor. I remember thinking “this is it we’re going with it.” We were about half way through writing and preparation for our sophomore album, and it needed a title this time. ![]() I was laying on my back on the floor of the Stooges rehearsal room, stoked on LSD and reefer, staring at the lovely amplifiers and egg cartons on the walls, when I thought I saw the word “Funhouse” hovering above me in the air, just below the ceiling. On the eve of the release of the Fun House Deluxe Box Set, Iggy recounts the creation and recording of the album.

Shinedown members2/28/2023 ![]() There’s a ton of social commentary on this record, which really hasn’t happened with a Shinedown record. “It may be one of the first records where there’s a lot of stuff that isn’t necessarily specific to one person in the band. You have people stating opinions that aren’t necessarily political or racial or anything else, and they’re still getting canceled for their opinions. “So when you’re in a place like that, you have all of this other stuff around you. “It was supposed to be 10 days and it ended up being 16 months, and even more now. When we started writing, the world had just shut down,” Myers said. “When we started making this record, we were at a time when it was very uncertain. While as a duo, Smith and Myers had some topical content in their original songs on “Volume 1” and “Volume 2,” Shinedown has, with only rare exceptions, avoided social commentary - until “Planet Zero.” That’s thanks to such hit-filled albums as “Us and Them” (2005), “The Sound of Madness” (2008) and “Attention Attention,” which continued Shinedown’s unbroken string of platinum or gold-certified albums. Shinedown finished its seventh studio album, “Planet Zero,” which was released on April 22.įor one thing, it is easily the most topical album in Shinedown’s career, which formed in Jacksonville, Fla., in 2001 and has become one of mainstream rock’s most popular hard-rock bands. ![]() New album, new tourĪnd the band as a whole (which also features Eric Bass on - what else? - bass and Barry Kerch on drums), wasn’t idle either. Those two EPs each contained 10 largely acoustic songs, five of which were originals written by Smith and Myers and five covers. The duo debuted in 2014 with “Acoustic Sessions,” which featured a set of acoustic versions of hit song by other artists. Singer Brent Smith and Myers were especially busy, reactivating their acoustic-oriented duo Smith & Myers, releasing a pair of acoustic-oriented EPs (“Smith & Myers Vol. You will begin to receive our weekly Hoopla Events updates. Getting the “Attention Attention” film finished was one of several projects that helped fill the time for Shinedown during the pandemic. I think you can pull the curtain back a little bit, but we don’t want to let everybody know exactly how the sausage was made.” “If you have a song that you really love or you really enjoy, and you equate it to a breakup or something that happened in your life and I go, ‘This is a song about a ham sandwich,’ I don’t like those things. “We’re not really a band that likes to tell people necessarily what our songs are about, because I think that ruins it for people. “I think we did our best to kind of visualize, but we’re not giving too much away,” Myers added. It starts in the darkest place ever and in the end, it ends on a song like ‘Brilliant,’ which is so overpowering and upbeat. But it tells a story of the start of this. You can especially see it in the ‘Monster’ video. ![]() You can kind of see it in the ‘Devil’ video. “And we got (director) Bill Yukich to do it, and Bill’s kind of a weirder, darker guy. “As far as the movie goes, we did our best to visualize what we thought it was,” guitarist Zach Myers said. The film, meanwhile, was intended to elaborate on the album’s themes of overcoming negativity and adversity.

Small front porch ideas on a budget2/28/2023 ![]() If you don’t like the way your paint is spraying then you will want to tweak until you do and then start your project. You can control the nozzle spray direction, air force and spray amount with the Wagner FLEXiO 5000. You will get a user guide that helps you start off right, but I find I tweak the setting a little for each project I do. Spraying is not hard but different paints and different surface require different settings. With the Wagner FLEXiO sprayers you don’t need to dilute your paint and it works with a wide variety from chalk paint to stain and all the home decor finishes you would want.Good paint helps a bunch! Use the correct paint for lasting results, as in use exterior paint on your patio furniture.If you are new to using a paint sprayer, here are a few good tips to get you started! Fair warning, you will soon be addicted and want to paint all the things… Tips for Painting Patio Furniture with a Paint Sprayer These simple tips for porch decorating on a budget will help you pull your disconnected porch decor into shape. You can also paint pots for plants if you gather a wide variety and want to add a calm feel to your porch, making them the same color is a great idea. For our porch makeover I painted the mismatched rocker, crib and chair in a gorgeous shade of black and made it all match in a cohesive manner. I use the Wagner FLEXiO 5000 for most of my painting projects and I adore it. I highly suggest investing in a paint sprayer for projects like this, you will use it more than you can imagine. Pick a great basic color and buy the right paint for outdoor projects! The right paint makes all the difference. Make things cohesive – Now that you have a load of unmatched furniture and possibly planters in a rainbow of colors make it all work together! This is the fun part and where your bargain hunting skills really pay off.It is costly to change out tons of flowers that die in a few months, so don’t! Just change out a few select spots and you will spend less, plus mature Perennials add the backbone and structure a good design needs. If you create great flowers beds and pots with solid perennial (meaning they will live year to year) plants and add in small touches of annual color your budget will go further with the same colorful feel. I know it’s tempting to fill your pots full of all the seasonal flowers you see in the store, but use those sparingly. Buy the boring stuff first – My second tip in the money saving plant department is buy Perennials.Usually those are the almost dead, hanging on by a thread plants and I’m not an expert green thumb by any means, but this time I found some great ones that didn’t even look bad! A little Miracle Grow really does work friend. Shop clearance in your garden store – I scored some great plants from the clearance section at my local hardware store.Here I used a rusty old chicken feeder we had in the backyard. ![]() Again – don’t worry about the color, look for shape, size and style. Y’all – pots are expensive when bought new at the store! Use your creativity and not only will you save money, but you will have a fun patio. Use unexpected planters – Again great to look for at thrift stores and yard sales, but look through your cabinets, attic and garage for buckets, pots and basins that can be turned into unexpected planters.Ignore the color but look for style and purpose! ***EXTRA TIP*** Take a second to check out what my friend did with some of her furniture finds here, if you want to update rattan, she has great tips for you! or a kid’s rocking chair (taken off the neighbor’s curb, for FREE). The trick is don’t just look for patio furniture, look for the unexpected like a vintage crib (scored this for $10 at a garage sale). Shop the curb, thrift stores and garage sales – Now this seems obvious, but it really is the best way to get a gorgeous patio on a dime. ![]() Tips for decorating your porch on a budget I want to thank Wagner for sponsoring this post, all ideas and opinions are 100% my own. This time of year has me wanting to beautify our outdoor living space with all the gorgeous plants and comfy patio furniture I can find, however, we live in the real world and budgets exist! I’m going to share a few ideas on how to stretch your budget and make your porch look inviting at the same time. Here are a few tips for porch decorating on a budget.

Bombsquad pocket ace2/28/2023 ![]() This is in the same category as Towerfall, Super Smash Bros, Gang Beasts, and other immortal party games. Just play it, either with friends or single player. If I saw this on someone else's computer, I would look for it on Steam. All in all, a party game without equal, with varying mechanics and bizarre game modes, Iphone control support, servers, and more stuff. It is easy to pick up, easy to teach, satisfying even if you are playing alone, and violent as heck. The subtle power-ups and other things allow for ad-hoc fighting that wouldn't be out of place in Spelunky. The bombs have fuses and they tend to roll. There is a Freeze bomb to stop your opponents and/or shatter them with a punch, a Sticky bomb with a tendancy to cause disturbing ends, Smart bombs that detonate on impact, Mines that explode on contact, and Multi-bombs that cause you to spit out bombs at high speeds. ![]() Somehow it adds an FPS element to a fighting game. The punches are physics-based and knock people backward, the fighting is meaty and intense, and the titular bombs are incredible. Bombsquad Pocket 34.5' Ace Mini Longboard Skateboard Custom Complete Play Video Tutorial Discontinued Description The meanest, fastest looking top-mount in Bombsquad's lineup With its formica top and bottom layer sandwiching 7 plys of maple, this board is stiff AND sexy. (team fortress 2) The author wrote his own engine to make absolutely everything a joy. Everything is physics-based and has a dark humor reminicent of TF2. The first thing you will notice is the lack of combos. The developer wrote a Bomberman clone that combines the intensity of an FPS and the depth of a fighting game into one package.
