Imdb around the world in 80 days9/4/2023 Rather than chasing the traveler around the world, it would seem that she will accompany him to report the story as it happens. This time around, we see the novel’s Inspector Fix, a police officer who pursues Fogg to get him back on British soil to arrest him after mistakenly believing he robbed the Bank of England, changed to the aspiring journalist Abigail Fix, played in the new series by The Crown’s Leonie Benesch. Under those terms, given the eight-episode end product that premieres tonight on PBS, there’s little explanation for this new adaptation of Around the World in 80 Days, Jules Vernes. In the 2004 movie adaptation, Fogg’s valet Passepartout was played by Jackie Chan for the purposes of comedy value brought by the actor which was a stark contrast to Verne’s original novel. Of course, as with many modern adaptations of older texts there are some liberties taken and changes made, which can always work one way or the other depending on how heavy handed an unnecessary the changes are and how well they are incorporated into the narrative. on Masterpiece for PBS in January, and that means it is time for promotion of the adventure to begin, starting with this trailer which looks set to be another barnstorming performance by Tennant, whose work has include roles as diverse as voicing Scrooge McDuck in the recent Duck Tales reboot, playing villain Kilgrave in Netflix’s Jessica Jones series, himself in the lockdown comedy Staged with Michael Sheen and also with Sheen playing the demon Crowley in the TV adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman’s Good Omens, which is currently filming its second season. Viewership Television ratings for Around the World in 80 Days No.The series will make its debut in the U.S. Around the World in 80 Days Episodes Special Features Video About the Show 2021 Around the World in 80 Days is a thrilling, new adaptation of Jules Verne’s classic adventure novel. The miniseries was filmed on location in England, Macau, Hong Kong, Thailand and Yugoslavia. The heroes travel a slightly different route than in the book, and the script makes several contemporary celebrities part of the story who were not mentioned in the book, such as Sarah Bernhardt, Louis Pasteur, Jesse James, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Empress Dowager Cixi, and Queen Victoria. Other familiar faces, credited as guest stars and in more substantial roles, include John Mills (who also appeared in the 1956 film version), Jack Klugman, Darren McGavin, John Hillerman and Henry Gibson. Starring Pierce Brosnan as Phileas Fogg, Eric Idle as Passepartout, Julia Nickson as Princess Aouda, and Peter Ustinov as Detective Fix, the miniseries featured multiple cameo appearances, including Patrick Macnee, Simon Ward, and Christopher Lee as members of the Reform Club, and Robert Morley, who had a cameo in the 1956 film adaptation, and Roddy McDowall appear as officials of the Bank of England.

Marian double dragon cartoon voice9/3/2023 By day the police are out doing their jobs and normal people go about their lives, but there is a curfew. The urban areas that once stood in the south all the way to Long Beach are underwater. The Hollywood River has overflowed, making many famous landmarks mere wrecks. The smog is so dangerously thick that huge fans are on top of buildings to blow it away and phone booths are oxygen booths. The city is now a metropolis out of Hell, where earthquakes and tidal waves are part of the typical day. In 1994, Universal released Double Dragon, the movie, starring Mark Dacascos as Jimmy Lee, Scott Wolf as Billy Lee, Alyssa Milano as Maria, and Robert Patrick as Koga Shuko, the evil gang leader.As the film would have it, in the year 2007, what was once called Los Angeles is now "New Angeles", a city half-destroyed by The Big One in 2000. Marvel published a six-issue line of comic books based off of the video game in 1991, giving Marian an early casting as a police officer and giving the Lee brothers a very Marvelous father - Stan! Movie ![]() The former was ported from Spectrum and put into UK shops. The latter was an Atari ST conversion and released for the French market. This should not impair your enjoyment of the game in any way.īasically two completely different versions of the game were released: a dodgy port for standard CPC 464 and superior conversion for CPC 6128 which were both developed by Binary Design. The resulting small gap you may notice in the characters at waist level, is the compromise that the architecture of the C64 forced us to make. We implemented sprite stacking techniques to create the animated characters (using two smaller sprites instead of one larger one to create each figure). ![]() So we came up with a memory-saving solution. To get both one- and two-player options, and to achieve the authentic feel of two-player simultaneous action, simply took more memory than we had available.īut we knew how disappointed you would be if the game didn't have the same two-player mode as the arcade game you know and love. Here's an interesting bit of trivia from the US Commodore 64 Mastertronic/Arcadia (Binary Designs) instruction manual:ĭuring our Herculean task of cramming as many as possible of the multitude of animation and graphic elements that make up the arcade game into the Commodore 64, we were faced with a problem. Two C64 versions exist, the original Melbourne House release by Binary Designs and a later, rare cartridge only release by Ocean, ported by Imagitec Design. In 1989, Tiger adapted this video game into a board game. The Arcade version of Double Dragon appears in the book 1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die by General Editor Tony Mott. Video games turned into board / card games.Players have to punch, kick, jumpkick, and even use a weapon against their opponents until someone's health bar is fully drained. Players choose from a field of six different characters (Billy and 5 of the enemy characters) and enter into a one-on-one fighting match. The NES version of this game also has an additional VS. Using whatever techniques they have at their disposal, from the basic punches and kicks to the invulnerable elbow strike, as well any weapon that comes into their hands, the Lee brothers must pursue the gang through the city slum, industrial area and the forest before reaching their hideout to confront the big boss, Willy. The Lee brothers set out on a rescue mission to crush the Black Warriors and save Marian. The Black Warriors demand the Lee brothers disclose their martial arts secrets in exchange for Marian's freedom. One day, Billy's girlfriend, Marian, is kidnapped off the street by the "Black Warriors", a savage street gang led by a man named Willy. Together, they manage a small martial arts training school, teaching their students in self-defense. Set in a post-apocalyptic New York, Double Dragon is the story of Billy and Jimmy Lee, twin brothers trained in the fighting style of Sou-Setsu-Ken.

Packer jerseys9/3/2023 ![]() Rodgers had spent all 18 years of his career in green and gold. Mason Crosby, who has played all 16 seasons of his career in Green Bay, became the Packers’ longest-tenured veteran after the team traded quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the New York Jets a few days ahead of the NFL draft. ![]() GettyFormer Green Bay Packers kicker Mason Crosby (left) and quarterback Aaron Rodgers (right) on the field following an NFL game. Mason Crosby’s Departure Revealed by Jonathon Owens’ Arrival in Green Bay Nothing had been confirmed publicly by either the Packers or Crosby until Friday, May 12, when an unofficial confirmation of sorts was authored in a Twitter comment left by Molly Crosby, the wife of the long-time Green Bay placekicker. Green Bay added some confusion to the mix a week ago by keeping Crosby’s number available after assigning jerseys to its summer roster members, indicating that he might return to claim it. Most signs pointed to kicker Mason Crosby being on his way out in Green Bay, particularly after the franchise used a sixth-round pick to draft Auburn kicker Anders Carlson in April. Head coach Matt LaFleur of the Green Bay Packers looks on from the sidelines during the first quarter against the Los Angeles Rams at Lambeau Field on Novemin Green Bay, Wisconsin.Īn offseason of foundational change continued for the Green Bay Packers this week, as another of the franchise’s tentpole players took his leave from Lambeau Field.

The Jewel will be switched back to original Red one before shipment. Established in 1992 The Gallery Bass Merchant has grown to become one of the most important places for all things bass. ![]() Have a look at the 1972 Fender catalogue, which has an almost identical guitar pictured. The bass pictured is completely typical example of an early Musicmaster. It has an older RCA 6V6 and a newer EH 6V6. The Fender Musicmaster bass was a new instrument for the 1970s, being launched in the second half of the first year of the decade. I changed the 12ax7 to Groove Tubes GT-12ax7-R which isn’t a cheap tube. For example, a serial number starting with MN2 would be 1992. It has a custom-made walnut pick up guard, layers of epoxy on the neck, Seymour Duncan Basslines pick up, a Fender USA bridge and strap knobs. Instruments made in the 2000s follow the same form but start with MZ. Up for sale is my Fender Musicmaster 1975 bass guitar. I have never intended on selling it but here I am.

Heres me and mine (70 bass + 70 in a new pickup/pots/knobs) So, unless you can get the Musicmaster in the much more doable 400-500 range, its not worth it unless youre a collector. Fender tube bass amps tend to be thin in the low end. Having said this, there are a lot worse guitars out there, and as well as being historically important, the 1820 bass can certainly provide the goods when required.Item: 273116626015 Vintage 1976 Fender Musicmaster Bass Tube Amp Silverface 6V6 12 Watt. It isn't a great bass amp, but holy cow it's a fantastic guitar amp The sound is somewhat like a Princeton or Champ, with simple controls. ![]() Have fun restoring it and show us your result Merry Christmas. It is easy to check for the faulty parts. Over the course of the 70s, the Japanese output improved dramatically, and in many ways these early 70s models are a low point for the brand. Fender really thought they were making a bass amp when they produced this MusicMaster Bass amp that paired with their popular MusicMaster Bass of the time. Its always worth to bring them back alive. These new Epiphones were based on existing Matsumoku guitars, sharing body shapes, and hardware, but the Epiphone line was somewhat upgraded, with inlaid logos and a 2x2 peghead configuration. ![]() ![]() The Matsumoku factory had been producing guitars for export for some time, but the 1820 bass (alongside a number of guitar models and the 5120 electric acoustic bass) were the first Epiphone models to be made there. By the end of the 1960s, a decision had been made to move Epiphone guitar production from the USA (at the Kalamazoo plant where Gibson guitars were made), to Matsumoto in Japan, creating a line of guitars and basses significantly less expensive than the USA-built models (actually less than half the price).

Hampton university notable alumni9/3/2023 ![]() In between he took a degree in business administration and parlayed it, rather improbably, into a long career as the stage manager - and frequent deadpan comedic foil - on David Letterman’s late-night TV talk show. ![]() Henderson, a graduate of then-Hampton Institute, made frequent appearances on-air with Letterman as a deadpan comedic foil. We still maintain strong friendships with our Eagle Heights family.Stage manager Biff Henderson flashes a "thumbs-up" to David Letterman during the TV host's last "Late Show" broadcast in 2015, while the Foo Fighters play. Then there was Eagle Heights, where my wife, children and I resided for three years and established some great relationships with friends from around the world. And it was professor Marianne Bloch and the faculty and administration of the UW-Madison School of Education who supported the efforts of a friend of mine and I to start the SHAPE tutorial program in the School of Education. It was students of the Civil Rights Defense Coalition who supported my push to establish pre college programs as a vehicle to increase the preparation of students of color for admission to UW-Madison, and graduate students such as Peter Young, Eric Grotsky, Matt Candler, and Matthew (last name?) who inspired me to run for the school board and supported my candidacy. It was students in the School of Education who encouraged me to run for student government (Associated Students of Madison) and elected me in 1996. Students on campus were huge champions of mine and contributors to my development. The friendships I established were equally as rewarding and enriching. I decided to stay, enlisted the support of four great professors to help guide my study in urban education (Gloria Ladson-Billings, Michael Fultz, William Bill Tate, Michael Olneck, and Michael Apple). They also expressed a sincere interest in my abilities. It was Associate Dean John Kean who stopped me from transferring, and instead he and a counselor there (cant remember her name) encouraged me to consider completing an Individualized Major in Education (IME) so that I could focus on my interests and maintain a part of the UW-Madison campus. Feeling I could not get what I needed at UW-Madison, I began talking with my school of education counselor about transferring to UW-Milwaukee to take advantage of their Urban Education Program. However, after completing my first semester of classes in Broad Field Sciences, I felt I was not learning enough about the political and social dynamics affecting urban education. I also enrolled in the Broad Field Science program in the School of Education. I spent countless hours at the Memorial and College Libraries, the School of Education LMC Library, and the State Historical Society. I spent the next two years attending special lectures and reading and researching everything I could on the education of Blacks, Latinos/Chicanos, and Native Americans that I could get my hands on. The university's commitment to service and its openness to taking chances that other institutions shy away from, made it possible for us to move, work and serve in ways that have had a real and lasting impact on the lives of others. In the midst of it all, wed have two more little ones, raising our young family in Eagle Heights perhaps the most perfect place on the planet for kids while working, studying, managing our lives and making inroads in the ways we could to leave the community better than we found it. We took turns completing our studies, and I would even go on to complete a Masters Degree in Education and to begin doctoral studies. Our two years became four years four years became six and six would ultimately stretch to eight years, the majority of which for me were spent either studying or working on campus. We estimated that it would take two years for the both of us to complete undergrad, after which wed readily head back to the east coast. Though he was born and raised in Madison, my husband had no special interest in remaining in his hometown. My husband and I came to the university with a simple plan to complete our degrees and leave. And herein, perhaps, lies the impact of the great UW on my life.

Clustertruck xbox one release date9/3/2023 One level I’m flying throughout the air without a care in the world, and the next, I’m slamming my fist on the table in frustration. What struck me the most, was how the difficulty in each level fluctuated. ![]() Each world’s theme varies and takes you from the barren desert to medieval villages, all the way up to hell. The slow-mo power up was also great, and just added to that matrix feel even more and it was exhilarating to watch trucks fly past me in slow motion.Clustertruck has a lot of levels, over 80 in fact. Some aren’t so helpful as they are fun, though.The grappling hook led me to my death more times than not on the later levels, but it was fun swinging from truck to truck on the easier ones. The jetpack was my favourite and allowed me to skip over a lot of difficult parts simply by flying way over the top of them. All the abilities in this game are really fun to use, and I felt that each one changed how I played in a significant way. You can have two at a time, one on your left click and another on your right click. I never felt that the way the character controls was hindering my cool moves.Like most games these days, Clustertruck has a number of abilities for you to choose from. This is where the cool matrix like feeling comes in, and it felt amazing to chain difficult jumps together. Levels soon start getting hard, though, with large rocks falling down onto your pathway and stopping everything in their tracks.One level had me jumping across trucks impaled on spikes and it took me a few tries (over 50) to beat it. As well as jumping on top of the trucks, you can jump on the back of them for a height boost allowing you to clear several trucks at once. Good soundtrack or subliminal messages? You decide.Clustertrucks first world starts fairly easy and has you jumping over trucks with minimal effort. I found the music would will me on to get one more level in before I shut down the game and helped me to feel immersed in the environment. Each level has it’s own variation and I found myself turning my speakers up, rather than turning them down. Sometimes when I’m reviewing a game, I’ll turn the sound down to listen to a podcast or my own music. Aesthetics of the game are minimal and I’d more than likely be saying the same thing if I was running the game on a potato powered calculator.The soundtrack for Clustertruck, is awesome. There’s a few settings in game that allow you to turn off things like bloom and V-sync though. There’s not much more to say about performance, as the settings are the standard unity ones. Hopefully, this is something that will be fixed on launch. I never experienced any crashes while playing, but starting up the game was a nightmare and more often than not, crashed to the desktop. What I did experience though was a lot of crashing. ![]() You, the hero, or a guy who’s finally realised transporting cargo over dangerous terrain isn’t worth it, must jump, dodge and weave your way to the finish line.Performance on my machine was great and I didn’t experience any frame drops or hitching. It even comes without the rubbish plot!Clustertruck is a game about truck drivers who’ve never driven a truck before and are completely oblivious to their immediate doom. ![]() Originally posted on wanted to live out the truck scene in The Matrix: Reloaded? Well now you can, inoriginally posted on wanted to live out the truck scene in The Matrix: Reloaded? Well now you can, in Clustertruck.

Best oil for searing steak9/3/2023 For thicker cuts-like the ribeye used here-our steak was done after 7 minutes on one side, 5 minutes on the other. Canola Oil Specifications of the product Features of Canola Oil Pros Cons 3. This all depends on the cut of your steak, and your desired temp. Pompeian Grapeseed Oil Specifications of the Product Features of the Oil Pros Cons 2. Adding butter to the pan just a minute or two before you finish cooking is not a bad idea. You don’t want to lose all of those amazing juices! What all this means is that the best cooking medium for a steak is actually plain old oil. Before you cut into that beautiful hunk of meat, let it hang out for at least 10 minutes. You’ve heard it a thousand times before, but it is always worth repeating. It has a great taste, and you can also use it for medium heat cooking. Putting the steak in the pan before it's screaming hot will lead to overcooking and, you guessed it, a tough steak. Canola oil is best for frying steak and any other dishes you like. Only when the oil is shimmering and just about to smoke are you allowed to add the steak. ![]() Season the steak with salt let it rest (uncovered) in the fridge for around 45 minutes before cooking. It’s the best way to draw out even more moisture from the raw steak, and as an added bonus, the interior meat will be much more flavorful. There are several really great options out there to consider. The best options include grapeseed oil, olive oil, peanut oil, and canola oil. I know it sounds weird, but for a really good crust sear, you want your steak's surface dry as hell: surface moisture is the enemy of crunch! Just pat the steaks with paper towels before you add them to the pan and you are good to go. The best oil for steak depends on how you cook it, but you will want a pure oil (with no additives) and one with a high enough smoke point for your cooking method. Take them out from the fridge ahead of time and dry them off. Depending on thickness, it could be as quick as 2 or 3 minutes per side! Grapeseed or avocado are good, otherwise vegetable or canola works. ago You want oil with a high smoke point, the higher the better. If you want to do something thinner like a flank or skirt steak, you’ll need to reduce the amount of time per side to avoid overcooking. If youre just after searing and not adding flavor, any mild oil with a high smoke point will do.Grapeseed, canola, vegetable, Ghee. ![]() You want something at least 1 inch-1 ½ is even better! The Delish test kitchen prefers boneless ribeye steak because of all the marbled fat, but New York strip steak is another great option. With our top tips and step-by-step guide, you’ll be on your way to serving a steakhouse-worthy dinner (complete with steak dinner sides, of course), to impress at your Valentine’s Day dinner or fancy dinner party. But, cooking a beautiful steak dinner on your stovetop is much easier than you may think. Intimidated by making steak at home? We get it-it can be daunting if you’ve never attempted it before.
