![]() If you are a portrait or landscape shooter, there are many reasons to switch to full frame. However, the loss of increased reach may be a problem. ![]() Sports: As with wildlife photography, high-ISO capabilities are helpful for sports photography.Nevertheless, a lot of wildlife photography is shot in low-light situations, where a full-frame sensor gives a significant advantage. Wildlife: A full-frame camera loses the telephoto reach that a crop sensor camera offers.For portraiture, this means the backgrounds can feature more blur and make the subjects stand out better. Portraits: The larger size of a full-frame sensor will result in a shallower depth of field.The only possible drawback here is the effectively shallower depth of field, but this can be compensated for by using a smaller f-stop. Landscape: Enhanced low-light performance and more detail are both key advantages of full-frame cameras for landscape photography.What type of photography do you enjoy shooting?Ĭhoosing a smaller aperture of f/22 produced enough depth of field to keep both the boys and the waterfalls in focus when using my full-frame Nikon D750.įull-frame sensors offer advantages and disadvantages for different types of photography. So if you plan to make the jump to full frame, you may want to begin by upgrading your lenses to those compatible with full-frame cameras. There isn’t much use in changing to full frame if you are not going to use high-quality lenses designed for full-frame cameras. If you’ve made it this far and you still like the sound of a full-frame camera, it’s time to ask yourself a few key questions: How much will it cost?Īs mentioned above, the cost of buying a full-frame camera is significantly more expensive than a crop sensor one, plus you’ll likely need to purchase new lenses. A 200mm lens on a full-frame camera reaches to 200mm a 200mm lens on a 1.5x crop sensor camera reaches to 300mm. No crop factor: The telephoto reach of a full-frame camera is lessened by not having a crop sensor.This may not matter to many photographers, but if you frequently carry gear for long distances, it could be a factor to consider. Full-frame lenses are also larger and heavier. Size and weight: The overall size and weight of full-frame cameras is greater than their crop sensor counterparts.Expense: Not only is the cost of a full-frame DSLR or mirrorless camera higher than crop sensor alternatives, but you may also need to invest in full-frame lenses.This heron in flight was captured at a high ISO to achieve the fast shutter speed needed to get a sharp wildlife image.

![]() Jack, barefoot and shirtless, in OP corduroy shorts, was out the door. Jack, who’d known Lola since she was eight, said, “Call an ambulance.” She rolled onto her back and stared at her hands.ĭeb said, “Fuck me.” Lola’s face looked like it’d been sliced open. She touched her face before looking at her hands, carmine red, redder than red, unreal, before falling down. She started to get up, blood pouring from a deep gash. ![]() Lola was on the shag carpet, but her face was connected to the table. Deb was dancing and singing, “My woman took me higher,” and flung her arm hard, a “Solid Gold” move, smacking Lola in the face with her bony elbow.ĭisoriented, her nose smarting, Lola turned, one sneaker catching the other, and fell face first into the oversized glass coffee table-much too large for the room. Deb tied a black shoelace between the metal latch and plastic handle that opened and closed the awning windows.ĭeb was at home with her friends, coked-up, listening to the Bee Gees, when Lola came up the cinderblock steps through the door that never shut all the way. A lightning rod and TV antenna mounted to the roof. Busted fiberglass walls had been filled with cardboard and duct tape. The trailer, purchased by Deb’s mom before she passed on, was second-hand. The land had belonged to her mother and grandmother. ![]() But like the cats, she got knocked up and everything went to shit.ĭeb’s trailer was a single-wide on a double scrub lot. She had yellow hair like Cinderella and a good figure. She was meant to go to college or be a cruise attendant. She was prone to put out a can of tuna or a saucer of milk for the feral cats, down on their luck-something she understood. Lola and Deb Brewster lived three doors down from Cam.

Taking a drag off his smoke, he said, “If I take them to animal control, some do-gooder liberal is going to adopt them, and they’ll end up right back here mewing all hours of the night. He’d shrugged, not wanting to upset the neighbor girl. Lola was ten and asked, “What do you do after you catch them?” One of Lola’s neighbors, Cam Lewis, had gotten a raccoon trap a couple years back and started catching as many cats as he could. Lola and Deb lived here among the ever-multiplying stray cats who fed off the AG’s dumpsters. Further along were the public library, built in 1971, a stone theater dating back to the mid 1800s and a Baptist Church where Lola’s mother, Deb, had been a congregant.Īcross from the clock tower sat the AG Supermarket, the Flower Market, Spoonful, a coffee shop, and Mission Thrift, run by the Baptists to fund missionary trips to Ghana.īehind the AG Supermarket stretched a grid of streets with dark buckling roads, dirt yards and double-wide trailers. Two doors down was Bean’s Pharmacy with a real soda fountain dating back to 1951. At the town’s center was an ivy-stitched gazebo beside a clock tower where a grandmother and granddaughter, Alice and Susie Fitzpatrick, sold herbal elixirs. Nearing downtown Rock Gap, the scenic byway turned to a scenic Main Street, and the speed limit dropped to twenty-five. Kudzu and oak shaded the hilly road where the waning light cloaked milkweed and berries, and the only sounds were of the river, of twigs snapping and leaves rustling, and Lola’s breath. The scenic byway was wild with white-tailed rabbits and deer. It was August, and the sun was going down fast. He’d been asked by Lola’s mom to stay out of the picture, for now, but now had turned into forever. The wind swept a cellophane wrapper across the lot where gas pumps used to be, the Coca-Cola sign groaning from rusted hooks. Lola had faint memories of coming to this market with an uncle or grandfather, and sitting on a pea-green stool that swiveled, a burly fellow behind the counter unscrewing the tin lid, the uncle or grandfather plunging his hand into the brine. Lola Brewster, twelve-and-a-half, running home from the Spivey Trail, stopped at Red’s, boarded-up now, the concrete overgrown with weeds. You could dig your whole hand inside and pick the best one out. The Route 6 Scenic Byway snaked its way east to west, ten miles south of the interstate, following the Rockfish River through forgotten Virginia towns with squat cinderblock markets where old men once sold red-hot sausages out of glass jars. ![]() In 1989, he earned the doctor of philosophy in Old Testament from Duke University.

On November 21, 1967, The Jackson 5 were signed by Joe Jackson to their first record contract with Gordon Keith, owner and first president of Steeltown Records in Gary, Indiana. Joseph booked them in more professional venues, including in Chicago, and they eventually landed a gig at the Apollo Theater in New York City. After a couple of years performing in local talent contests and high school functions, The Jackson 5 got a color TV set after the judges awarded them second place. Following the inclusion of Marlon and Michael in the group, their name was changed to The Jackson 5. ![]() At first, the group went under the name The Jackson Brothers. Joseph began enforcing long and intense rehearsals for his sons. Younger sons Marlon and Michael were eventually put into the band youngest brother Randy was too young to join at the time. He then first started working with his three eldest sons Jackie, Tito, and Jermaine. In the early 1960s, Joe Jackson began pushing his sons in a musical direction after they began playing around with his musical instruments while he was at work. That band became a successful doo-wop group named The Spaniels. Despite their efforts, The Falcons did not get a recording deal and subsequently broke up after one of their members, Thornton "Pookie" Hudson, founded his own band in 1952. ĭuring the early 1950s, Jackson briefly performed with his younger brother Luther Jackson in their own blues band The Falcons, playing guitar. Joseph and Katherine went on to raise ten children, as their son Brandon Jackson (Marlon's twin) died just after he was born. During the late 1950s, she began working part-time at Sears in Gary. In the meantime, his wife Katherine tended to their growing family. He later took a second part-time job at American Foundries in East Chicago. Still employed at Inland Steel, Jackson left his hopes of becoming a professional boxer in order to support his family, and began working there as a full-time crane operator. Their first child, Maureen Reillette "Rebbie" Jackson, was born four months later on May 29, 1950, in the Jackson house. Joseph and Katherine were married on Novemin January 1950, they purchased a small two-bedroom home on 2300 Jackson Street near East Chicago in Gary, Indiana. ![]() Joe was married to another woman, but was divorced in less than a year before he started dating Katherine. While he was preparing for a professional boxing career, he met 17-year-old Katherine Scruse, who also lived in East Chicago and attended Washington High School. While in East Chicago, he began to pursue his dreams of becoming a boxer and found success with the Golden Gloves program. He soon got a job in East Chicago at Inland Steel Company but did not finish high school. When he was 18, his father remarried, and he moved to East Chicago to live with his mother, two brothers, and sister. After his parents separated when he was twelve, his mother, two brothers, and sister moved to East Chicago, Indiana, a suburb outside Chicago in Northwest Indiana, while he moved with his father to Oakland, California. ![]() Jackson recalled from his early childhood that his father was domineering and strict, and he described himself in his memoir The Jacksons as a "lonely child that had only few friends". ![]() His great-grandfather, July "Jack" Gale, was a US Army scout he was also claimed to be an Indigenous American medicine man. According to the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame and Katherine Jackson's book My Family, The Jacksons, his year of birth was 1929. Joseph Walter Jackson was born in Fountain Hill, Arkansas to Crystal Lee (née King May 1907 – November 4, 1992) and Samuel Joseph Jackson (Ap– October 31, 1993) on July 26, 1928. He was inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2014. Joseph Walter Jackson (J– June 27, 2018) was an American talent manager and patriarch of the Jackson family of entertainers. On policy, too, the conservatives moved along broad but common lines. Most of those ideas were predicated on some basic beliefs about human beings themselves, including the conviction that human nature is fixed rather than malleable, that intellect is a better guide to action than emotion, that tradition is valuable, and that religious faith is a cornerstone of a healthy society. But the GOP held clear lines of thought that stood as alternatives to liberalism. Strom Thurmond, Ronald Reagan, Howard Baker, and Edward Brooke were not necessarily deep thinkers, and they didn’t all agree on everything. You could fight those beliefs and policies you could argue with them, admire them, or hate them. The party of Lincoln has become, in every way, a political and moral nullity.Īmerican conservatism once meant something definite and tangible. This latest insult to the rule of law and the Constitution was possible only because the Republicans have already lost confidence in their own principles. However, this effort is more than the usual cynical mendacity and crass careerism (or, as one might say, “Elise Stefanik”) that characterize the current Republican Party. Their spines crushed by years of obedience to Donald Trump, the members of the GOP have once again retreated from civic responsibility, with one more humiliation of those last few in the party who thought that the Senate Republicans might mimic something like statesmanship.

Plus, if you suffer from allergies, looking for a hypoallergenic mattress will ensure you don’t wake up sneezing and coughing. If you’re a warm sleeper, the material your mattress is made from can help regulate your temperature so you have a cool sleep. If your mattress is too firm or too soft, you’re going to end up with back pain that will affect you during the day. Smith says, “Gray can work well in bedrooms depending on the shade and what it’s paired with, and lighter grays can evoke a serene, peaceful atmosphere conducive to relaxation and sleep.” Smith adds, “Gray is also an excellent base for layering different textures and patterns to create interest.”Īnd for those who don’t “feel gray” in their bedroom, Smith says, suggests other colors that are known for promoting restful sleep, like shades of blue (known to have a calming effect), soft greens that bring a touch of nature indoors, and warmer neutrals like beige or cream that create a cozy, welcoming vibe.Getting a good night’s sleep starts with the right kind of mattress. ![]() While Zillow’s survey made no mention of what gray bedrooms can fetch. We can only guess that it was so good she went back for more in 2021 with a bedroom painted in “Homburg Gray” by Sherwin Williams.Īnd while some people love posting photos of their Insta-worthy gray walls, others are clearly over it and have been for some time - like Gina and Majka sharing their annoyance with the Twittersphere: Mary Liz was ahead of the curve when she painted her living room wall in “Raccoon Fur” by Benjamin Moore in 2016. We found plenty of evidence that the broody hue has been making the rounds on social media as far back as 2016. Plus, its neutrality allows for more daring choices in furniture, artwork, and accessories.”Īfter a bit of digging, we found that gray has been enjoying its fifteen minutes of fame for some time now. It dials down the hustle-bustle of daily life, infusing calm and creating an inviting aura.”īrad Smith, Interior Designer and CEO of Omni Home Ideas adds that gray can “be both cozy and sophisticated at the same time. Regarding its incredible popularity in kitchens and living rooms over the years, Bramlett says, “Gray brings balance to these high-energy, frequently visited areas. Why Is Everyone Gaga For Gray?Įric Bramlett, realtor, home stager, and owner of Bramlett Residential in Austin, TX, says that gray is “The design world’s darling because it’s the master of disguise, It embodies warm or cool hues based on its shade and is applauded for its adaptability.” Bramlett adds that gray “stands out and seamlessly melds into any design, all at once.” And if you were thinking about an underwater theme with blue hues in your bathroom, opt for earth tones (think terra-cotta brown) instead - it could potentially bring you about $1,624 more than that other house down the block. The study revealed that cement gray (a mid-tone gray) on your front door is uninviting and could potentially drop your profits by as much as $3,365 (black doors are where it’s at, folks). While gray kitchens and living rooms are money - front doors and bathrooms are another story. And while a white kitchen may be stunning on Insta, it could cost you $600 or more when you sell - so says Zillow, at least.Īnd before you reach for Agreeable Gray, Zillow’s survey shows that placement matters too. ![]() More specifically, homes with deep gray or graphite kitchens can bump your final selling price up - somewhere to the tune of $2,512 more, and dark gray living rooms can add about $1,755 to your final offer. And before you get too excited over your Repose Gray walls, the study found that shade matters too. According to Zillow’s latest paint color analysis, gray is on trend, and if you’re not there already, a few cans of paint can pay dividends at closing. Warning: this will override any potential progress you've made after that save, so if you want to use this strategy, we strongly advise you to always make another copy of the "534380" folder, otherwise, you might lose some progress that you didn't intend to lose. The game will inform you that local save and cloud save are not synced, and you just choose to play local save in order to start from the desired moment. There, open the folder that has your SteamID3 as a name, and find a folder named "534380", this is the ID code for Dying Light 2 on Steam, and thus it contains some local files for the game, including the save file.Ĭopy it somewhere safe, and the next time you decide to return to that position, just copy it back there and start the game again. You will need to find a folder where the game keeps local files, which looks like this by default - “C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata" Unfortunately, the game doesn't support manual saving for the above-mentioned reasons, but there's still one trick that you can do if you want to return to some previous positions in the game, but it only works on Steam. Can you manually save in Dying Light 2 work? While you can not save your progress whenever you want, you can manually copy older save files if you want to return to a certain point in your game. This means you won't be able to return to a previous point in the game, or even worse - it means that your save file can be easily corrupted at which point you are doomed and all your progress is lost. The game will always save your progress at this point.Īnd while this has its merits, unfortunately, this also means that if your game crashes or something happens with your console/pc during a play session, you will lose all your progress past the previous autosave point.Īsides from autosaving, the second key aspect of this system is that there's only one save file, which is being overwritten after each new autosave. The most reliable autosave point is when the night falls and you go to bed to rest until the morning. Whenever you complete a quest, reach checkpoints within missions or enter a new area, the game will almost always autosave. As such, players are not allowed to save as they please, rather the game will autosave at certain points. The save system is designed around the developer's goal to amplify a sense of uneasiness and uncertainty in this post-apocalyptic world. (Picture: Techland)īefore we jump to potential manual saving options, let us first see how does the autosave system work in Dying Light 2. How does saving in Dying Light 2 work? Dying Light 2 will automatically save your progress at certain points and there's only one save file. While this is a great design to build up tension and create a sense of real danger and consequences, for some players this can be rather frustrating as well, especially for a game as huge as Dying Light 2.īut can you somehow save manually in Dying Light 2? Let's see what we know. Also, you won't be able to abuse different choices by simply loading the save file and trying something else. With the autosave system, every battle is much riskier and every foray into an unexplored area brings more anxiety.

If one is significantly lower, then most likely the head gasket is blown on that cylinder. Compare the readings, they should be within 10% of each other. Have someone crank the engine for 4 full revolutions, or until the pressure on the gauge stops climbing. Thread the compression tester into a cylinder. Remove the electrical connector from the cover over the top of the engine, remove the 4 10mm bolts from the cover, remove 4 spark plugs, remove the fuse for the fuel pump. If you want to check it out yourself, you will need a ratchet, 10mm socket, 6-12" extension, 9/16" spark plug socket, compression tester, and cooling system pressure tester(with an adapter for your coolant reservoir). Low coolant could make the noise you are hearing as it flows through the heater core if it is low enough for there to be air in the heater core. Thanks!įrom what you have said, there is a good possibility that the head gasket is blown slowly allowing coolant into one or more cylinders which makes it start hard once coolant has been able to pool up. If anyone could give me some helpful advice or suggestions it would be much appreciated.
