Oh god ron parks and rec8/31/2023 After finding out their score is a mere 58%, the pair begin to question whether or not this is such a good idea. In a B plot, Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger undertake an online compatibility quiz to make sure they'd be a good parenting match. She presents Ben the key, but he instead throws it in the lake, stating he doesn't need this false gratification from Partridge as Pawnee is now his home. After the mayor denies her a key behind closed doors, Leslie steals one from his office. Peeved at how poorly this town still treats Ben, Leslie is determined to get a key from Mayor Stice. There was never a key and the city has in fact not forgotten or move on from Ice Town. Leslie goes to the ceremony of Ben's behalf, where she finds the whole operation was one big joke to mock Ben one final time. The doctor insists Ben stay at the hospital all day, and dosed up on morphine, Ben is unable to go anywhere. However, Ben suddenly falls down in pain and is taken to the hospital - it is revealed he has kidney stones. At Stephanie's home, Leslie quizzes her on Ben's childhood girlfriends and Ben practices his acceptance speech. Before the ceremony, the pair visit Ben's sister, Stephanie Wyatt. Ben is pleased that the city has finally gotten over Ice Town and feels at home again. As a gesture of goodwill, the town is offering Ben the key to the city, a distinction given to all city mayors. Meanwhile, Leslie and Ben Wyatt head to Partridge, Minnesota, Ben's hometown. Jamm is forced to call his attorneys and admit "he got Jammed". Feeling that Ron's future punishment is on them due to their damning testimonies, Andy, April and Tom storm into Jamm's office and blackmail him into dropping the lawsuit – the trio found that Jamm's affidavit was not entirely accurate. When asked to make a statement of his own, Ron is straightforward and declares he regrets nothing. Both tell of Ron's many times when he outspokenly wished to punch Jamm in the face. He subsequently makes both recite their claims in a manner which puts Ron in a bad light. Both April and Tom provide false statements about Ron, to which Ron does not agree. He later meets with Jamm and his attorneys where Ron calls upon Andy Dwyer, April Ludgate and Tom Haverford as witnesses. He is being sued by Councilman Jeremy Jamm for punching him in the face on the night of Leslie Knope's wedding. The episode begins with Ron Swanson receiving a subpoena. It originally aired on Apto 2.93 million viewers. " Partridge" is the seventeenth episode of Season 5 of the NBC television series Parks and Recreation. But even he has his own oddities that make him fit right in with the cast: calzones, Cones of Dunshire/board games, and all of his accounting jokes come to mind.That is the exact spot where 18 year-old Ben Wyatt was inaugurated as mayor of Partridge, Minnesota. His role as straight man was kind of replaced with Ben, who is an out of towner who doesn't understand some of the craziness around him. So by the end of the second season, you have a character that is being poorly portrayed in a role you don't need anymore. There was no longer a reason to play them down. The show turned into a celebration of everybody's oddities and weirdness. They didn't need a straight manlike that. His straightness just came off as disdain, so you ended up disliking him instead of relating to him.Ģ) By the second season, the producers discovered the characters and tone better, and they turned into something more than just an Office clone. Not his fault, it's actually a really hard skill. But two problems rose from there.ġ) The actor just isn't a good straight man. The problem was that the show was originally conceived as sort of an Office close, and Brandanowitz was going to play the Jim Halpert straight man.

Pozidriv screwdriver8/31/2023 The Good news: yes, there are more than one manufacturer (and model) of good quality cross-head screwdrivers (some more recommendations are in Chapter 4).Wera Kraftform Stainless 3350 PH 2 Wera Kraftform Stainless 3350 PH 2 – Amazon affiliate link Picture 1ĭo you have to buy this one, or are there other good ones? Well, I’ve got some good and some bad news – which one do you want to read first? □ Still, for those who just want to know which screwdriver has worked very well for me, on both the American Phillips and on Japanese (bicycle and motorcycle) cross-headed screws, this is it (providing Amazon affiliate links for screwdriver pictures and price-comparison): Those who wish to know how I chose this screwdriver can read the following chapters. In other words: how can I tell, before trying (and buying), if a screwdriver will work properly with a bicycle, motorcycle and other cross-head screws? The goal of this article (and my research for it) was to help myself find a screwdriver that fits well and doesn’t cam-out. How can I find a good Phillips/JIS screwdriver?.Standards of popular cross-tipped screwdrivers 3.1.The difference between Phillips and JIS screwdrivers JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) screwdrivers 2.3. In a separate article, I explained all the hex-bit size standards and types. Then comes some history and standards explanation (including JIS) to provide a universal way of recognizing the good, well-fitting screwdrivers – and clarify what it’s all about. In this post, I’ll explain how to find a cross-head (Phillips) screwdriver that doesn’t slip out when unscrewing a tight screw. I also compared similar sets by studying specs provided by the manufacturer and reviews submitted to Amazon and manufacturer websites.If you’ve ever fixed bicycles, motorcycles, or any appliance with cross-head screws, you know how frustrating it gets when your screwdriver keeps slipping out, especially when trying to loosen a stuck screw. In the early days, I mainly stuck with the two mainstays (flat-head and Phillips), but over the years, I have found myself needing Torx head and other varieties increasingly often, especially for quick repairs to electronics and household gadgets. As the former co-owner of a construction business and a passionate DIYer, I have several different screwdriver sets in my workshop and shed at any give time. In evaluating dozens of screwdriver sets, I first drew upon my own personal experience. Larger sets aren’t as portable, though, and if you mainly perform common tasks that require just a few standard screwdrivers, all of the extra varieties might be overkill and needlessly take up valuable space. Some sets have one handle with interchangeable bits, others have multiple full-size drivers. If you want one screwdriver set that will be able to handle any job you might tackle, look for a set that offers a wide variety of assorted head styles and sizes. Be sure the set you choose includes the types of screwdrivers you most commonly need. If you do a lot of electronics repairs or mechanical work, on the other hand, you will likely often need Torx screwdrivers. For general carpentry, construction jobs, and many DIY projects, you will most commonly need the staples of the screwdriver family: flat- and Phillips-head models. Different types of jobs require different types of screwdrivers. There is no single one-style-fits-all screwdriver.

Case of cooper and thief wine8/31/2023 The only issue with these labels is that they tend to have a bit of a cult following so the low productions ones sell out fast, sometimes even within days. These are extremely high-quality wines made by excellent wineries exclusively for Costco, cutting out the middleman to bring you even more savings. Lastly, don't be afraid of the Costco house brand, “ Kirkland Signature” wines. This is a great tip for shopping the rest of the store too - we’ve picked up some awesome deals on marked down items, but they go fast! Furthermore, if there is an asterisk on the label (aka the death star) that means it is a close-out and is not coming back. One other note: while they don't advertise it, typically any price that ends in.

Inventory of wines will vary by market and even by store within a market so at times you can find some low production wines available in an individual store. While many of the Costco wines are available elsewhere (albeit at slightly higher prices) keep your eyes out for deals on lesser-known labels as well. Their selection isn't the broadest but they do tend to bring in some very nice wines from all over the world (places like California, Washington, France, Italy, Australia, Argentina, Spain and Portugal to name a few), especially in the under $20 price point. Basically, they make their money on membership fees allowing them to keep product prices, including those on wine (and beer), very low. One of the main reasons is simply the tremendously slim margin Costco takes thanks to their membership model. and just one look at their low wine prices should tell you why!

Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot are even added at times for complexity. Merlot is added to soften the edges and add red fruit flavors. Just like Bordeaux, California’s dominant grape is Cabernet Sauvignon with its rich blackberry flavors. Although the wines of Bordeaux have historically been considered the best wines of the world, the bolder, richer, and more fruit-forward wines of California are now just as respected. The warm days and cool nights of the Napa Valley in Northern California make it the ideal place to make Bordeaux-style red wines. The most successful blends follow the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot recipes of Bordeaux, but with even more intensity. Some of the greatest wines in Californiaare a blend of various red grapes. The combined result is a rich flavor, with a long, lingering finish.ģ8% Merlot.

Captain ron fishing8/31/2023 Ahab has been fishing these waters for decades and knows every nook and cranny. Ron “Captain Ahab” Broadus is, even by the locals' standards, an expert on redfish and speckled trout fishing in Delacroix, Louisiana. You've never experienced fun and fishing like you will in Delacroix, Louisiana on a Captain Ahab's Charter Fishing Trip. Warm Louisiana waters are the perfect sanctuary for redfish and speckled trout. Get in a full day of fishing and come back with a full ice chest of red fish or maybe a mess of speckled trout. There is simply nothing better than waking up on the water with the smell of Louisiana cooking permeating the air. Stay overnight at Delacroix Joe's and let our good captain (Ron Broadus) cook for your group. Talk to Captain Ahab on our featured forum called "On the Dock." Find out what's biting, where to go, or just book your charter and secure your spot. Ahab is a recipe for success in fishing.Ĭheck out some of our photos in the gallery.

His time on the water allows him to maintain a pulse of the environment, the conditions, and location of the fish.Ĭaptain Ahab encourages and enjoys fishing with newcomers as well as seasoned anglers and finds every opportunity to make sure everyone on his boat takes away some new knowledge about fishing, about estuaries, habits of redfish and speckled trout or something as simple as knot tying and fishing techniques.Ĭaptain Ron "Ahab" Broadus Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries License #: 052-8483-530 Fishing out of Delacroix (New Orleans) with a guide like Captain Ahab is simply an exciting adventure.

Gawker stalker controversy8/31/2023 "I didn't know there would be a parallel situation going on." "I'd be naïve not to be concerned, in America, anyway," he said. Stone said he was concerned that there might be a backlash. Are gay men supposed to be so damned pleased a big expensive movie is including them that they have to appreciate the way Oliver Stone defines them? And in the end, it will all be about Oliver Stone, won't it? The Greeks with their yin-yang philosophy and their self-help books about "communicat with both sides of nature." What's feminine about Alexander? I mean, even assuming he had sex with men, what's feminine about that? I love the way Stone is lecturing us, as if we are too backward to tolerate homosexuality, when he's relying on the stereotype that men who have sex with men are feminine. When you get to modern-day focus groups, to who'll get offended in Hawaii or Maine, you can't get out of it."Oh, yeah, that sounds really historically accurate. He could communicate with both sides of his nature. "I don't want to say, 'How do I make this work for a modern audience?' Alexander to me is a perfect blend of male-female, masculine-feminine, yin-yang. He director, who critics say took liberties with historical fact in films like "J.F.K." and "Nixon," said that his choice with "Alexander" was to hew to the record. Don't laugh or you're homophobic! Yes, but what if the scene is laughably BAD, as tender love scenes in Hollywood ancient history movies usually are? No, you have to sit there and behave solemnly, appreciating the lesson in diversity and history that Oliver Stone is now going to teach you or you're a homophobe, you bad person! Now, just a minute, Oliver Stone is going to teach me history? Haven't we been there before? In Oliver Stone's three-hour drama, "Alexander," Colin Farrell, as the fourth-century Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great, has a number of tender love scenes with his best friend, Hephaistion, played by a long-haired Jared Leto.We're being warned not to give in to our impulse to laugh as these two dopey actors - in big close-ups and, we're told, heavy eye make-up - declare their love in "tender" scenes. (I pointed out Stone's plan here.) Here's the NYT:Īs the culture wars rage anew between social conservatives and their liberal counterparts, Hollywood is preparing to break fresh ground by releasing a high-budget epic film in which the lead character - a classic, and classical, action hero - is passionately in love with a man. The NYT is helping Oliver Stone lay the foundation for the excuse he's planning to use when his movie "Alexander" bombs.

Best buy wii motion plus8/31/2023 Total lifetime sales of the Wii had reached over 101 million units, making it Nintendo's best-selling home console until it was surpassed by the Nintendo Switch in 2021. Within a year of launch, the Wii became the best-selling seventh-generation console, and by 2013, had surpassed over 100 million units sold. A bundled game, Wii Sports, was considered the killer app for the console other flagship games included entries in the Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and Metroid series. The Wii was extremely popular at launch, causing the system to be in short supply in some markets. Later in its lifecycle, two lower-cost Wii models were produced: a revised model with the same design as the original Wii but removed the GameCube compatibility features and the Wii Mini, a compact, budget redesign of the Wii which further removed features including online connectivity and SD card storage.īecause of Nintendo's reduced focus on computational power, the Wii and its games were less expensive to produce than its competitors. Initial Wii models included full backward compatibility support for the GameCube. The Wii also supports wireless connectivity with the Nintendo DS handheld console for selected games. The Wii was Nintendo's first home console to directly support Internet connectivity, supporting both online games and for digital distribution of games and media applications through the Wii Shop Channel. The primary controller for the Wii is the Wii Remote, a wireless controller with both motion sensing and traditional controls which can be used as a pointing device towards the television screen or for gesture recognition. Game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Genyo Takeda led the console's development under the codename Revolution. In developing the Wii, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata directed the company to avoid competing with Microsoft and Sony on computational graphics and power and instead to target a broader demographic of players through novel gameplay. It is Nintendo's fifth major home game console, following the GameCube and is a seventh-generation console alongside Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3. It was released on November 19, 2006, in North America and in December 2006 for most other regions of the world. The Wii ( / w iː/ WEE) is a home video game console developed and marketed by Nintendo.
