8/24/2023 0 Comments Craviotto timeless timberThe art gold hardware is in remarkable shape for an 80 year old drum, with some of the normal surface wear on a few of the lugs, but far less than on other examples. Strong black color on the shell and the cleanest looking shell I have ever seen on one of these drums. We were involved in assisting on several of these sales, and we can tell you with great assurance that these drums are exceedingly scarce and prices for them have continued to sky rocket over the years. This drum is in superb original condition and is nicer than the last drum I owned and sold. Very few examples of these drums ever surface. The shell is heavy brass, and the drum weighs more than Ludwig black beauties since Slingerland used a heavy double flanged rim rather than the lighter, single flanged variety Ludwig used. The drum was catalogued from 1928-1932 and very few examples were built. This one is in superb condition and, in my opinion is likely the finest example known. There are only about 14 known examples of Slingerland black beauties in the world. These are the rarest of all black beauties and are rarer than any Ludwig black beauties. This is an ultra rare Slingerland Black Beauty. This is truly the holy grail of Slingerland collectibles. Slingerland 5x14" Black Beauty Snare Drum - The Holy Grail!

8/24/2023 0 Comments Swing in javaIt provides the high-level abstraction for Java program since it hides underlying GUI details. Overview of AWT: AWT is used for supporting user interface in Java Application. ![]() Notice that the components stay in their positions, even when you resize the window.Web development, programming languages, Software testing & others This code uses a BorderLayout layout manager, and adds each component to a different section of the JPanel. The JFrame class is Swing’s representation of a window, and it works like this: The first step to creating a GUI is displaying a window, so you can interact with that instead of the command prompt. But like I said above, even if your end goal isn’t creating a desktop application in Java, it’s still a good idea to learn this stuff since it teaches you other stuff you need to know anyway. Think of opening up the Spotify application, not going to Spotify’s website. One more thing worth noting: the above libraries, including Swing, are for creating a desktop application, which is a program that runs on your computer, not in a webpage. So even if your end goal with programming isn’t Swing, it’s a good idea to spend some time here because it’ll help you learn other stuff you need to be learning. I think Swing is a great way to become more comfortable with OOP, inheritance, and general program flow. If you’re wondering how to do something in Swing, chances are somebody has asked your question on Stack Overflow. The benefit of Swing being around longer is that there are a ton of resources for learning more about it. jar file that comes with Java.Įven though JavaFX is newer, I’m focusing on Swing for a couple reasons: JavaFX classes are in the javafx package, which is in a. JavaFX focuses on modern GUI features, like more animations, CSS styling, and using a computer’s graphics card to handle the rendering. JavaFX was originally developed as an external library in 2008, and it was included in Java in 2014. But Swing was built on top of AWT, so you’ll see Swing code using classes from the java.awt package as well. The Swing classes are in the javax.swing package. That way, the checkbox will look the same on different operating systems. ![]() The idea behind Swing is that instead of telling your computer to create a checkbox, Swing draws the checkbox itself. To fix this, Swing was added to Java in 1998. ![]() This can make it harder to layout your program or have a consistent experience across different platforms. The downside of that approach is that your program will look different on different computers: a checkbox on Linux looks different from a checkbox on Windows. All of the AWT classes are in the java.awt package. So if you create a checkbox in AWT, you’re really telling your operating system to create a checkbox. AWT works by passing in “native” calls to your computer. The Abstract Window Toolkit, or AWT, has been a part of Java since day one, way back in 1996. Trying to understand how all of these classes fit together can be confusing, so here’s a brief summary of how they work: Java contains three different GUI libraries, which are each just a bunch of classes in the Java API that you can use. Note: Swing is not an acronym! (Neither is Java, for that matter.) A Brief History Java contains a bunch of classes that help you create GUIs, and this tutorial focuses on a set of classes that make up a library called Swing. GUIs are the types of programs you’re probably more accustomed to using: the types of programs that have windows and buttons and text fields instead of only using the command prompt. So far, all of our Java programs have been command line programs, which we interacted with through the command prompt, if we interacted with the program at all.Ĭommand line programs are fine for simple tasks or for programs that don’t really interact with the user, but if you want to interact with the user, then you probably want to create a graphical user interface, or GUI (pronounced “gee-you-eye” or “gooey”). 8/24/2023 0 Comments Modern bird feeder poleOn top of these is GrayBunny Station Kit, a bird feeding station in your own backyard. One of them is possibly to use it to beautify your home or your garden without breaking the bank. There’s definitely more things you can do to a bird feeder pole. GrayBunny GB-6844 Premium Bird Feeding Station Kit A little costly as compared to other bird feeder polesĤ.While the price may be a bit much, I can say it is worth every dollar, as you will finally stop from looking out after the feeders as often – waiting for pesky squirrels to attack anytime. I love this pole because the manufacturer creatively placed an inverted cone-shaped squirrel baffles in the middle of the pole making it squirrel proof. Made with 16-gauge steel, powder coating, and 8 feet tall pole can hold hanging feeders, birdbaths or even flower baskets. It is very keen on making sure birds get their food and squirrels are away, always. The manufacturer, Squirrel Stopper is dedicated at finding ways to stop squirrels from ransacking bird feeders. Stopping them therefore becomes a priority before one can begin to enjoy bird watching.īut how do you finally stop squirrels from climbing bird feeder poles and stealing all the nuts, birdseeds and treats? The squirrel stopper pole and baffle set might just be the key. Squirrel Stopper SQC05 Bird Feeder Pole Setįor a birder, pesky squirrels are always the biggest enemy. I used it to put different kinds of birds feeders so I get more variety of birds using just one installation. Either way, it will be great at attracting more birds to your yard. Your can put two smaller bird feeders or a bird feeder and a water cup on the other. What is great about this pole is that it comes with two hooks, opposite each other, which means more balance than other ordinary poles. This is probably the best squirrel proof feeder pole so far. It’s height of at least 91” will surely keep the raccoons, squirrels and other ground predators away. Hence, this heavy-duty ultra pole with shepherd’s hook by Achla may be the best choice for this purpose. There are also birds that comes to enjoy fly through bird feeders and what’s best way than to hang them in a good, sturdy pole.īut unless the fly through feeders are attached to a pole high enough for squirrels to attack, then they are going to be fun for the birds and for you. Having a tall feeder pole may be the easiest way to attract birds especially the ones that flies high up in the air. Achla Designs Heavy Duty Ultra Pole Shepherd Hook To make sure that they are good enough for your yard, consider the length that goes into the ground and the part left for the actual pole.Ģ. However, while birders think that it is made elegantly, the height requirement for a safe and effective may not be the best. It can carry quite a heavy load so that’s a real plus as well. Because it has a good design, it can be used for other useful functions. The versatility of this feeder also makes this pole better than the rest. It is made of strong solid metal, which means that it will stay for a long time. I like this bird feeder pole for two reasons: it is elegant and sturdy. The GrayBunny product is literally multipurpose freestanding mount for humming bird feeders and some more accessories. Some feeder poles are not just for bird feeders but can also beautify your living space by adding planters, pots and lamps.

Most feeders nearer to the ground means they are prone to be attacked by predators such as cats, dogs, raccoons and sometimes foxes.įinding a good birdfeeder can be tricky. Of course feeder poles can also spell disaster or safety. Hanging feeders can attract specific kinds of birds such as hummingbirds while woodpeckers and chickadees like feeders up high. To do this “law of attraction”, having a good bird feeder pole will make your feeder stand out or noticeable.īirders know that birds get attracted to feeders placed at different heights. The kind of seeds you put will make them decide whether to build a nest near the food source or not. ![]() Having a good bird feeder will attract birds to your yard. For this, getting the best bird feeder pole is a must. True birders know that the size, the location and the durability of the bird feeder defines whether the bird watching experience is a success or a fail. Many claim that when all things fail, the bird feeder pole can actually save the day. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Rules for king moves in chess![]() If you have a bad position, it could often be extremely useful to sacrifice material and complicate the position at any cost. If the position is equal and the game is slow and positional, the calculation could help you in achieving strategic goals, namely, it helps to find a proper way or a move order. ![]() On the other hand, if you are worse, the goal could be finding a way to equalize. For example, if you are much ahead in development, or have more pieces near opponent’s king, the goal should be “checkmating”. This goal must be realistic according to the logic of the position. When you calculate or look for candidate moves, you need to set yourself a goal for your calculation. First run along all the possible candidates in your head, to see if your move is not refuted directly by one of them, and only then start getting into the nuances.Also, I want to point out that the following ideas are used subconsciously by every strong chess player, but sometimes it is worth remembering and refreshing the simple rules you may already know. ![]() As practice proves, it’s the optimal time to work everything out in the most sophisticated positions, after that you just become tired and spend your time in vain. Never (almost never, since there are always exceptions) spend more than 20 minutes on making your move.Therefore, in order to achieve decent practical results, it is worth following these 2 ideas: You were unfortunate to start with the “ wrong” candidate move, and as result, you spent 30 minutes and it is still unclear, which move you need to make. Then you start calculating another one, and after 1 minute you realize that it refutes your sacrifice. You start working out the details of the former continuation, spend 30 minutes, and find how to win. Your opponent has two options, Kg6 and Kg8.Īccording to Kotov, first you need to calculate one option, then switch to another. Let’s consider why his approach is not perfectly justified, judging by an example.įor example, you are calculating a typical Greek sacrifice, that starts with moves Bxh7+ Kxh7 Ng5+. With such time-control, you simply cannot afford a 40-minute-long calculation multiple times a game. Unfortunately, or fortunately, nowadays things have changed a lot, and in most classical tournaments players have just 90 minutes either for the whole game or for the first 40 moves, with 30-second increment. Firstly, at the time when he wrote his book, the time control in Soviet tournaments was 2.5 hours for 40 moves plus 1 hour for every 12 moves, and the games were often postponed, so players had a lot of time to calculate. However, I need to point out that Kotov’s method has a few significant shortcomings. The most important idea, according to Kotov is that you need to believe in your calculation, and when you have checked variation once, you make a conclusion and go on, never return or recalculate.Then they consider more complicated possibilities, while others do it vice versa. Some chess players start with the simplest options, that do not require a lot of calculations. It’s up to a player’s style and habits, how to begin. ![]()

Ephemeral Fantasia is similar to The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask in that the story transpires over a constantly looping period of five days. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Fantastical beast 2![]() That said, I’m enamored enough of the whole Potter mythology that I probably would have happily sat through this whole familiar saga had any of it made a lick of sense (or satisfying nonsense). But it usually waits longer than the studio green-light process. I guess there’s an argument to be made that Rowling is reminding us that dangerous political ideology never really dies. It’s curiously repetitive, as if George Lucas had made a prequel series not about the origins of Darth Vader, but of some other freak in a different mask who knew some of the same people Vader did, just when they were younger and played by Jude Law. It’s hard to invest in those stakes, though, when we know that just after Grindelwald’s inevitable defeat, there will come another hissing megalomaniac looking to purify the wizard race and enslave the non-magical. The Fantastic Beasts series is building toward wizard of all wizards Albus Dumbledore’s big showdown with the new film’s titular menace, dimly detailed in the last Harry Potter book. But the film’s allusions to the rise of real-life fascism are facile, partly because we’ve seen them before, not just in the first Fantastic Beasts, but in the whole remembered arc of Voldemort’s ascent to terrible power. I guess “if you’re not with us, you’re against us” is a viable stance to take in Donald Trump’s America-I mean, Grindelwald’s Europe. ![]() or police of the wizarding world, and their use of state-sanctioned violence comes into play in Crimes of Grindelwald’s tortured political schema.Įarly in the film, Scamander says, “I don’t take sides” the film’s project, if it has one, concerns Newt waking up to the fact that rigid neutrality is not an option when civilization is on the line. ![]() For those somehow unaware, Aurors are basically the F.B.I. Though her zesty moxie has been confoundingly dialed down for the sequel, Katherine Waterston, as dogged American Auror Tina Goldstein, at least has one winning scene with Redmayne-a glimmer of a nicer movie that’s otherwise hidden behind the murk. As a rushed film, though, Crimes of Grindelwald is almost an offense, taking fan devotion so for-granted that it serves us raw food. Maybe this should have been a TV series, if Rowling wanted to encompass so much-or she could have written a novel and then waited for a sufficient adaptation. But Crimes of Grindelwald tries to do entirely too much with no foundational text, so even diehards willing to follow Pottermore and various fan wikis to the ends of the Internet may find themselves hungry for further clarity. There are ribbons of old Rowling running throughout the film, mysteries from the past mingling with the present, teased out through callbacks and gradually meted out reveals. If even they can’t figure out how to expand this narrative in any comprehensible or engrossing way, then what possible future could the whole enterprise have? Which is troubling, given that Harry Potter stalwart David Yates (responsible for one of the best films in the original run) directed the thing, and Rowling herself wrote the script. Rowling’s original world-while trying desperately to entwine itself with it-that it can only gesture (or is it a flail?) toward what once, not too long ago, made these stories so special. Just as Game of Thrones began to sputter after it exhausted its rich source material, Grindelwald is far enough beyond the scope of J.K. big-budget show, too.) Scattered, confusing, and haunted by past grandeur, Crimes of Grindelwald perhaps marks the landmark moment when, alas, the magic finally flickers out. (The film is about as cheap- and plain-looking as a just-O.K. Watching Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second in a planned series of Harry Potter prequels, is a bit like watching a “previously on” recap of a season of television, except there are no actual episodes to go back to and watch in full. 8/24/2023 0 Comments Songs like sonic youth superstar![]() Since then, the unlikely duo has garnered a great deal of media attention, including profiles in Newsweek and Rolling Stone online. “ash-ups are transformative new art that expands the listener’s experience,” Doyle told his befuddled colleagues-few of whom had heard of mash-ups, let alone Girl Talk. ĭuring a memorable hearing, Doyle stumped on the floor of Congress for both his young constituent- “a local guy done good”-and the mash-up genre in general. Kenneth DeGraff, one of Doyle’s young staffers and a huge fan of Girl Talk, introduced his boss to the mash-up star. Luckily for Gillis, Doyle is the vice chairman of the Telecommunications and Internet Subcommittee and a progressive on copyright issues. In early 2007, the Pittsburgh native met a powerful ally: his congressman, Rep. So what’s your favorite, most inspired cover story that veers significantly from the original? Let me know at Update from our reader above: My favorite mini-cover of “Superstar” is from Girl Talk, a mashup DJ and one of my all-time favorite artists, who sampled the song on “Like This,” the seventh track off Feed the Animals ( starting at the 2:07 mark). But my favorite cover is by Sonic Youth, who turn the song into the creepy tale of a stalker.Įmbedded above. ![]() It’s been covered many times since then (I personally own five versions), most famously by The Carpenters. It’s an emotional telling of a women in love with a man who’s seemingly forgotten her on his climb to rock stardom. Probably the most famous example is Jimi Hendrix’s version of “All Along the Watchtower,” which so improved on Bob Dylan’s original that even he does it “Jimi’s way” now.īut my favorite example of a song being reinterpreted is “Superstar.” The song was written by Bonnie Bramlett (of Delaney & Bonnie fame) and Leon Russel and was initially done by Rita Coolidge way back in 1970. But my favorite type of cover is when something completely new is done with the song. There’s the “what the heck?” cover-e.g., who would have guessed that U2 are huge ABBA fans? There are all those millions of tribute albums (a particularly good one is “ I’m Your Fan: The Songs of Leonard Cohen”). ![]() I love all kinds of music, but I particularly love covers. 8/23/2023 0 Comments Make your own elevated dog feeder![]() Step By Step Process On: How To Build Elevated Dog Feeder?
