But this kind of design is so ubiquitous, that I'm wondering if the designers have access to a source, which I've never seen. My head is saying that they're not at all Medieval. I couldn't make up my mind then, and I still can't. On to the historical part - I've looked at these before, when I included the burgundy one in a previous article on Traditional Pagan Handfasting dresses. Beyond that, the Paganism comes only in the symbolism behind your color choices. Name-checking Artemis provides a nice Pagan hint there, but that's just the company behind these potential handfasting dresses inspired by the Middle Ages. Someone at their company very creatively does all of the research, gets the authentic design, then uses that as a beginning towards a new, slightly altered gown. Pearson's Costuming handfasting bodice dress is only based upon contemporary dress for the Middle Ages. However, if you follow it to source, you'll see it's actually a red bodice in the store. The Pearson's one is displaying green, white and black for me here, which is fine, as the Lady has been known to don her green dress. The emphasis on the Mother's hue, which is fabulous, because She oversees the handfasting rites. That said, these two gowns incorporate the color symbolism of the Triple Goddess - white, red and black. But that might put a crimp on your handfasting celebrations. In fact, the only thing that I can throw into the mix, as Medieval clothing that was genuinely Pagan too, is to wear a lit bonfire (or noose, depending on the country). The same is true once Christendom took hold, though there were fewer around. Christianity hadn't yet swept across Europe, then the world, so - by modern standards - everyone WAS Pagan. Historically accurate Pagan clothing at the start of the Middle Ages is synonymous with just the clothing itself. There's nothing overly Pagan about anything that I've shown you from Armor Venue, nor from the Pearson's Costuming catalogue, ninja-ed in at the end there.īut then, we're focusing on authenticity with this lot. Though naturally this isn't exclusively the state for these dresses. The black of the Dark Lady meeting the white of the Maiden as a new beginning. On that same theme, both of these Medieval inspired Pagan Bridal Gowns would be very fitting for a widow remarrying. However, there are elements which match those worn from about 1100 to the late 1400s, plus a great modern flourish in that dramatic Scottish widow hood. These gowns, fabulous as they are, can't be pinned down to any specific period of the Middle Ages. But hidden beneath the folds, the lovely designer has included small areas of Lycra, which means that your Wiccan Medieval Wedding Dress will be very comfortable to wear. This is the 21st century, so the fabric is mostly taffeta to keep that beautiful sweeping shape. I suppose that it makes perfect sense for a future queen to wear white! It is said she chose white to help bring out the beautiful handmade lace throughout her dress.You'd be itching all day if they were, and the dyes would have been fixed in by soaking the whole garment in a trench filled with the urine of a red-headed boy. As I stated before, the color blue represented purity, not white as many of us have been led to believe. It is not until Queen Victoria and her marriage to Prince Albert of Saxe in 1840 that we see the white wedding dress. We also see a corseted, bell shaped, long trained dress come about. As the Renaissance hit burgundy became the color of choice. The most popular color was blue because it represented purity. Brides during this time period would wear blue, red, yellow, or green. As time went on, we still see colorful dresses during Medieval Times. For example, in Athens brides wore reds and violets. In ancient times, brides wore bright colors to show their happiness for such a special occasion. Were they always white? The answer, not at all. The most common, and highly debated part of dresses is their color. With wedding season among us I thought it would be fun to talk about the history of the wedding dress.

These items were a mixture of purchased items and ones we had on hand, so I am sure improvements/changes could be made in the materials list. Your new bird feeder should provide you excitement for many seasons to come.Here are the items we used for our build:ġ - cardboard concrete tube (cut in half), we used an 8" wide tubeħor 8 - treated or untreated 2x4x8 lumber (they are not in contact with the ground, so we used untreated)Ģ - untreated 1x4x8 lumber (you will have quite a bit left over)ġ - 4x8x3/4 exterior grade plywood (cut in half lengthwise by the DIY store)ġ - 8 ft length of 3/4 metal electrical conduit pipeġ - package of 3-tab asphalt shingles (I got a damaged package from Home Depot for $10)ġ - roll of asphalt paper (you will have LOTS left over after this project)Ĥ - EMT straps (U-shaped ones with a hole at each end)Ģ - 1-9/16-in x 3-9/16-in Rafter Ties (this holds a 2x4 on top of the 4x4 post) Mount your bird feeder and see which bird will visit your home. Attach the plexiglass to the wood using finishing screws. You can use a handsaw or a power saw to cut your Plexi-glass to match the dimensions. If possible, I would recommend using stainless steel wire mesh for the floor. Install wooden pieces D and E to hold the wire screen mesh in place. Personally, I was surprised at how easy the wire mesh was to cut. Use a scissors or metal snips to cut your wire mesh to match the size of your bird feeder. This finish helps accentuate the grain and makes the wood more resistant to damage. Optionally, paint or finish the wood BEFORE installing the plexiglass roof or the wire mesh floor. Paint or finish the wood on your bird feeder. If you pre-drill the holes, these screws will countersink themselves nicely because the head is not much larger than the pilot hole. The smaller screw head is less obvious and helps prevent the wood from splitting. Personally, I recommend using trim screws as shown below. To help extend the life of your bird feeder use a waterproof wood glue. Use a combination of glue and screws to attach Sections A, B, and C. Step 2: Start to Assemble Your Bird Feeder.

In general, these pocket drones are very small and don’t come with any fancy features. Like I mentioned previously, a pocket drone is not to be confused with a mini drone. A great cost-effective way to get started in the world of drones.Ī pocket drone means a drone that can be easily fitted inside your pants pocket or jacket pocket. Plus, they are not that intimidating or intrusive compared to aerial photography drones. These mini drones will break down the barriers by establishing common ground that people and yourself can talk about. Mini drones also are a great way to make new friends, especially if you are introvert and are shy around people. Because they don’t come with a lot of features that high-end drones such as Autel EVO 2 and Mavic 2 Pro / Mavic 2 Zoom have. One of the main advantages that mini drones have to offer is the relatively affordable price tag. They are not to be confused with pocket drones at all since a mini drone in general means a smart camera drone that’s small enough to go with anywhere you go. We have assembled a list of best GPS drones for beginners that’s really hard to pass on.Ī mini drone means a portable, compact-sized drone that can comfortably fit onto one of your hands. With a GPS-base drone, you get to enjoy longer flight time, more flying minutes, bigger remote control distance, the ability to stream real-time videos to your phone screen and of course adjusting the camera remotely. Since everything from positioning itself to performing smart return to home is done automatically via an advanced flight control system on the drone. In fact, the GPS-based drones are known as smart camera drones because they eliminate the need to perform manual controls. But the main difference between a GPS-based drone and camera drone is the additional features and improved flight performance capabilities. GPS-based drones are similar to camera drones, because all of them come with built-in cameras by default.

I ran into a problem I changed a few things in a 3d model, re-uploaded to Trimble connect and now I can’t open that updated model in the Quest.To me, it changes the impression a bit you get from the 3d design - the way the perspective / space slowly changes is part of the experience. Any chance the continuous movement mode might be added at some point? I think it would be a nice option - especially for more seasoned VR users (the architects who design the 3d models for instance). The teleport ‘walk’ mode also works nicely.From SketchUp just upload a model to Trimble connect, in the Quest open that project and you’re in.
Use an ignition system tester to check whether the spark plug is faulty. Change the spark plug if the ceramic insulator is fractured, an electrode is damaged or burned away, or there is significant carbon accumulation at the electrode. Look for wear or damage in the spark plug. Replace with the appropriate filter if it is limited. Replace or rebuild the carburetor entirely if cleaning it doesn’t work.ĭrain any remaining old fuel from the string trimmer’s fuel tank, then swap out the fuel filter. Try cleaning the carburetor using carburetor cleaner if it’s clogged. This gummy fuel has the potential to block the carburetor and make the engine run rough. Some of the fuel’s components may evaporate over time, leaving behind a denser, stiffer material. The most frequent reason for a blocked carburetor is overfilling a powered string trimmer with fuel. The drive shaft cannot be repaired if it is damaged, you should replace it. The string trimmer head won’t spin if the drive shaft is broken. The trimmer head is engaged by the drive shaft. The clutch is connected to the trimmer head by a long, adjustable shaft called the drive shaft. It could be simpler to change the clutch assembly, though, given how cheap and simple it is to change the clutch. The clutch assembly may be cleanable and repairable. The drive shafts cannot be engaged by a worn-out clutch assembly to spin the trimmer head. The trimmer head-attached drive shafts that the clutch engages include one or more.

Some of the problems of the trimmer head are the trimmer line stops spinning, the vibration of the trimmer, and the trimmer string keeps going back inside. The head is specially made with glass-filled polyester for better abrasion resistance and durability. Spools are not required thanks to the auto-winding technology in the trimmer Head.

The W3C standard vector image format is called SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics). Ghostview can read it very well but does not have any editing capabilities.

It is the standard interchange format in the print industry. In any case, all of the variants of BMP should be avoided when possible, as they use little to noĬompression and consequently have unnecessarily large file sizes.Īdobe's EPS format (Encapsulated PostScript) is perhaps the most common vector image format. Most modern image editing tools are able to read both. Own formats, both of which are called BMP. There are actually several BMP formats (BitMaP). Vector Magic recommends using the PNG format when storing logos as bitmaps. This format is widely supported by web browsers and image viewers/editors. The best of the lossless image formats is called PNG (Portable Network Graphics). They are more suitable for things like logos. These store an exact pixel-by-pixel representation of the image, but require more space. We do not recommend using JPEG files for rasterized vector art, as the compression artifacts substantially degrade the quality of the image near edges. It has excellent compression characteristics and has the nice feature that the user may specify what level of compression they desire, trading off fidelity for file size. One of the most widely-used image formats. They are also commonly used on the web to save bandwidth. They are best suited to photographs and other images where perfect accuracy is not important. These have smaller file sizes but do not store a perfect copy of the image. Some of the most common are: JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and TIFF.īroadly speaking, they fall into two categories: Lossy formats There is a large number of different bitmap formats. “I enjoyed every moment, every battle,” Molina said. In between, they twice waged battles in the NLCS and six times shared an All-Star field together, including as recently as last season, when Posey was 34 and Molina four years his senior. He’ll join Posey in retirement after this season. The younger Molina brother was in his seventh season when Posey won rookie of the year in 2010. “I promise I wasn’t taking a shot,” Posey clarified. That Posey’s ceremony occurred in front of the team he helped defeat for National League pennants in 20, “makes it special for me,” he said. Most of the remaining Cardinals gathered on the top step of the first-base dugout. Yadi, one of the few players who can credibly claim to be a peer of Posey’s, acknowledged him as he walked to the Cardinals bullpen during the ceremony and watched on from the outfield grass. “What can I say about Buster? He got me a ring!” Bengie said to a round of applause and laughter. Bengie delivered the most memorable speech of the day, getting Posey to sign his jersey and provide a Buster Hug. “Like a good friend, someone that you could have really serious conversations about life with (or ) dive deep into baseball.”Īmong those on hand were the Molina brothers, Yadier in town with the Cardinals and older brother Bengie as Posey’s former teammate and the catcher he supplanted behind the plate. “Just great values to his core,” said outfielder Austin Slater, who is now the longest-tenured Giant besides Brandon Crawford and Brandon Belt. … I feel really fortunate to have gotten to spend last year with him.” “To see him day in and day out do what he did last year, just as a baseball fan, was friggin’ awesome. “He’s as good of a person as you could ever be around in a clubhouse and in life,” said Giants pitcher Alex Wood, the former Dodger who faced Posey 27 times as an opponent, then joined forces for his final season. Both children threw ceremonial first pitches, followed by former closer Brian Wilson ending the festivities with one, final Buster Hug. The final two pitches Posey will catch in Oracle Park came from his two eldest children, Lee and Addison, whom he now coaches on youth softball and baseball teams. I’ve loved the game my whole life, so just really grateful to have been honored in this way with teammates and coaches and fans and family and friends. “Just grateful and humbled to have a day like this. “It was very important for me to be able to say thank you to the fanbase,” Posey said. Sandwiching a speech between two standing ovations, with a dozen family members to his right and a who’s who of former teammates to his left, Posey recounted his experience from the Giants’ three World Series runs, thanking the fans for their support. “I did pretty good,” Posey said afterward. For all those reasons - the three World Series championships, the clutch hits, the no-hitter celebrations but also the human behind them - Saturday was an emotional day for all involved. Returning to the shores of McCovey Cove, Posey gave fans the chance at a farewell that hadn’t, until now, been available after the announcement following last season that sent shockwaves through the Bay Area. He will live on forever in the memories of those who crossed paths with him. He stepped away in 2020 to raise newborn twins during a pandemic, then made it a full-time decision after last season.
