2/18/2024 0 Comments No saints by sophie larkThere’s nothing like that- because Sophie Lark is going to make you delirious attracted to a cold, ruthless serial killer. And our young, starving artistic ingenue finds herself the center of their games- at first a survivor, then an unwitting participant, and then suddenly grappling with her own inexplicable desire for the dark and control mercurial artist whose dark edge is clearly more than an artistic persona. Both respected artists, both rich and powerful, one more base and primitive in his antics, the other more strategic and manipulative. Two rival serial killers that have combined their love of the hunt with their artistic expression engaged in a captivating game of cat and mouse, a murderous one-upping feud. The premise alone is enough to both titillate and chill. Psychological thriller, dark suspense, gothic romance, angsty taboo? Everything and none of those- this story stands intrepidly on it’s own. There Are Not Saints is one of the most interesting stories I’ve read in a while- a story of brilliant contrasts, one existentially bold and expertly told. Grippingly intense and rivetingly psychological, this story consumed me! I’m both mesmerized and aghast- brilliant story telling from Sophie Lark! While I love so many of Lark’s story, I can without a doubt say this is her most creatively inspired piece to date. This is a steamy serial killer romance that will take you on a journey through the twisted mind of an artist on the brink of madness. Reader be warned: this book contains extremely dark themes that might be triggering to some. Come on this darkly sensual and utterly brain-bending ride with me! - Sophie "There Are No Saints” is the first book in the Sinners Duet. Redeeming a character who starts so evil was a challenge that inspired me to entirely new heights and entirely new depths. A serial killer is, of course, the ultimate anti-hero - the baddest of the bad boys. But she has no idea she’s dancing with the devil… The Lark Notes : I have always been fascinated by true crime, as well as by villains and anti-heroes. I don’t know if I should protect her at all costs… or destroy her before she ruins me. I’m fixated on her for a different reason… She makes me feel things I never thought I could feel. Shaw wants to use her as a pawn in his twisted game. Until the night we both laid eyes on Mara Eldritch. In truth, we’re predators battling for hunting ground. The city of San Francisco thinks we’re rival artists.

This is a warm and welcome offer, and not without precedent - both Spock and Montgomery Scott served under James T. Saru has been offered a new command, but chooses to abdicate in order to serve as Burnham’s first officer. Saru has been on sabbatical from Starfleet in order to serve on his home planet’s ruling council and to help the troubled orphan Su’Kal acclimate to life among other people, but has decided to return to active duty to help with the ongoing anomaly crisis. Luckily, someone has come onboard to lend her support in this difficult time, her closest friend Captain Saru. For the moment, patience seems to be her only useful tool. She can offer support and is doing her best, but there’s only so much she can do if Book won’t open up or even let himself cry. Michael Burnham is well-acquainted with loss, but even she has never coped with a tragedy of this magnitude. Book tortures himself by replaying his ship’s records of the event over and over, convincing himself that he should have understood the danger and retrieved his brother and nephew from the surface. Feelings, The Final FrontierĪpart from flashy effects and seasonal arcs, the element that most distinguishes Discovery from other Trek s is high emotion, and that’s on full display this week in “Anomaly.” It’s been only a few days since the planet Kwejian was destroyed by a mysterious gravitational force, and Cleveland Booker - possibly the only survivor of his species - is still in shock. While “Anomaly” isn’t exactly an exceptional episode (in fact, it’s a pretty straightforward one), it demonstrates how reliably entertaining the show has become, even in comparison to some of its more lauded older cousins. While watching this week’s new episode, “Anomaly,” it struck me that Discovery has never felt more like Star Trek, and yet doesn’t seem to have lost any of its own identity. ” Granted, every new series since The Next Generation was met with a similar fan response at first, but Discovery did start a bit farther afield than any of its predecessors. Three years ago, the mark against Discovery was that it “wasn’t really Star Trek. For some it has worked to install on a disk connected via USB-A connector, but not USB-C, while the situation has been vice versa for others. The problem has now been addressed by Apple’s developers, but if you find it affects you we suggest that you do the following: This issue was quickly addressed in Big Sur 11.0.1, improved further in 11.1 and refined again in 11.2. As a result some users encountered problems trying to install macOS on and booting from SSDs connected via USB. Maybe you can get an Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider to assist you in creating a bootable macOS USB installer.Troubleshooting problems with the M1 & M2 Macsīefore we move on to how you can create this external installation of macOS we will mention some issues people had when trying to create such an installation for an M1 Mac.Īfter the first M1 Macs launched in 2020 it emerged that there was a problem with the USB interface. If Internet Recovery Mode is not possible on the old Mac for whatever reason, then you will need to find another Mac that is compatible with Catalina (or any other OS that the old Mac can run) in order to download and create a bootable Catalina (or other OS compatible with the older Mac) USB installer using the Apple article I linked previously. The only way I know that you may possibly be able to create a Catalina USB installer on an M1 Mac is with DiskMakerX or some similar app, but DiskMakerX is the most common and popular app I know about. If you have any anti-virus apps, cleaning apps, or third party security software or browser extensions, then they could be interfering with the links. You need to check your browser(s), computer settings, or local network or ISP issues. I just tested all three links in my other post and they all load the proper pages for me. And four, of course I looked at the instructions for creating a bootable MacOS USB! The problem is I can install the Catalina Installer on an M1!!!! Thanks for wasting my time. Third, the links that you provided are broken. Your older Mac has a hardware issue so a USB installer is unlikely to work either.
2/18/2024 0 Comments Joplin mo weather camerasit makes sense that they would want to do a "damage control" report on the people that died from this tornado. which to me, makes sense because if HAARP is responsible for this exceptional weather pattern that we've been having here in the South and South-East. They won't let the families identify/claim their loved ones that might be in the morgue. instead of having a closed/narrow mind and thinking pattern. you need to open up your mind and look at the BIG picture here. well, I don't know what else to say to you. But I truly believe that there is a connection with the "private morgue" that the government opened up in Joplin, MO - the local and state governments, even federal governments, will not let any family members or friends into this "private" morgue to claim/identify their loved ones!! Now, that my friends. and maybe I'll change my mind about HAARP. we've already have well over 700 and something tornadoes. We average between 20 and 50 tornadoes per season. There is no other explanation for these large numbers of tornadoes. HAARP is responsible for producing the weather patterns needed in order to produce these large numbers of tornadoes here in the Southern/Eastern states. teamed up together and came up with a 'REAL' disaster plan. and we have NEVER ever had this many tornadoes in one season. Well, the same rules apply to this "research facility". the government doesn't even acknowledge that 'AREA-51' exists!! Yet, its a U.S. They have technologies at this so called research facility. they didn't build that place to only do " High Frequency Active Auroral Research". please don't say anything negative about this post. and unless you know what your talking about and have done the same amount of research on this place as I have. to try and control peoples minds and to even use these frequencies and technologies that they have up there. This so called "research facility" was contracted and built for the single purpose of using frequencies and other technologies. I don't know how many of you know about the "research facility" called 'H.A.A.R.P.', which is located out in the middle of nowhere up in Alaska. People need to slow down in life and really stop and think about things. To get you the best camera possible within that constraint.I know I'll catch a lot of flack for posting my theories here. Pro Tip - If after discussing your expectations a security camera asks about your budget, give them an honest answer, as an honest company will use that information You understand the environment and the expectations, it's always possible to choose a security camera that will do better than another, given it's within your budget. For example, it's not reasonable to expect an entry-level camera to survive long in an environment that's constantlyĮxposed to a hot dusty environment nor is it reasonable to expect it will give a good picture at 7:00 am if it's facing directly into the rising sun. Is, the cameras will be priced accordingly. With security cameras, you're free to choose the best features and capabilities that today's best technology can offer. You choose the right camera for the right job you need to first look at yourĮxpectations and then your budget. Certain security cameras do better in certain environments than others, in Joplin, you might need a certain camera to cope with the weather or heat. 2/18/2024 0 Comments Christmas gag gifts to makePlace dowels in tall wooden spools for easy display.

Spring-powered, battery-powered, and slippery slopes. There are three types of weight-sensitive squirrel deterrents. Weight Sensitive Weight pulls door down over feeding port Every birdfeeder that claims to be squirrel-proof is a variation of those two categories. The two main features that keep squirrels out of your birdfeeder are weight-sensitive feeding areas and cages surrounding the feeder. It’s impossible to chat about the best bird feeders without deciding how you will keep squirrels off your feeder. Once you look for certain birds every morning, you know you are hooked on bird watching and can safely spend more time and energy welcoming your feathered friends. Yankee Whipper by Droll Yankees $100 to $140Ĭaged Six Port Feeder by Woodlink Four to Five Poundsīig Top Squirrel Resistant Feeder by Droll Yankees Twelve Pounds Squirrel Be Gone Flexport from Perky Petsīronzed Cage Bird Feeder from Duncraft $50 to $100īig Top Squirrel Resistant Feeder by Droll Yankees Must have extra value features such as:īest Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders at a Glance Categorized By Costīrome Squirrel Buster Standard (Best Overall Choice).Have at least a 4/5 buyer rating (sometimes I look at multiple sources for a rating).The birdfeeder itselfmust be squirrel-proof without adding anything.I have also learned over the years that I don’t need to spend a fortune to have a beautiful and squirrel-proof bird feeder! Quick Criteria List Once I buy it, I expect it to work and look good for years, if not decades. Some of the feeders are built for life, and I prefer those as I like to do the work of vetting an item before I buy it. Brand names of trusted sources become familiar to us as we become impressed with how well a birdfeeder works. Over time, it becomes easy to spot feeders that stand out in design and quality. The ease of use and assembly ratings were 4.8/5 from more than 10,000 reviews! That was the tipping point for me in selecting this! How I Choose the Best Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders Once the squirrel leaves, the tension springs automatically pull the shroud up to expose the feeding ports. There’s no food from the ports and no seeds to spill out. The weight-sensitive perches lower doors over the feeding ports when it feels the squirrel’s (or heavy bird’s) weight. The Brome Squirrel Buster Standard model fulfills all of those and then some. I want a bird feeder that not only keeps squirrels at bay but also lasts for years and is cost accessible. While most manufacturers would be hard-pressed to label a feeder as 100% squirrel proof, I can safely recommend some bird feeders that have always done the job for me and thousands of others. The Bottom Line Upfront on Squirrel Proof Bird Feeders Lucky for us, function and form have joined to make some beautiful and hard-working bird feeders. Great expense has been taken by both the consumer (us) and manufacturers to achieve a squirrel-free bird feeding system. Here, I’ll share my experiences and give recommendations for the best squirrel-proof bird feeders that are available, explaining the pros and cons of each. After years of troubleshooting and working on a shoestring budget, I finally got to a place in my bird-watching reverie where I knew what would work and why. Though several methods keep bird feeders squirrel-free, including hot pepper seed mixes and patented baffle poles, this article focuses on the best bird feeders that keep out squirrels. They want to share YOUR food, not theirs! I wrote those words to my grandmother decades ago, but the lingering sentiment remains there! By far, the most common challenge with bird feeders is that squirrels want to share. Watching those pesky squirrels climb, jump and hang from my bird feeders is as close to a stroke as I’ve ever been, but if they keep it up, the end is near. The Winner is the Brome Squirrel Buster Standard

The DeNoise feature has been around for some time. But it’s a good tool for polishing up the vocals captured in a medium to low noise environment.
