KGATLW is just getting started though the rest of 2017 promises more music-at least four more albums’ worth-and there’s no doubt that the Australians will be back in D.C. The feel of the show left a lasting impression that ran into the next day, making us wish we could go back and experience the concert all over again. Those of us that had to leave early to catch the last train of the night showed our visible sorrow as we swam through the crowded, humid room to the exit. The band continued traveling back through their discography throughout the night, not once losing focus, not even when the visualizer projection that paired with the music broke down three times. Popular songs from the album, like “Gamma Knife,” showcase the garage rock roots of the band, which get your heart thumping and head banging with heavy guitar riffs and fast-paced drum beats. Then the band played songs from their biggest hit album, “Nonagon Infinity,” an album where each song flows seamlessly into the next. Lead guitarist Joe Walker shook his head at the crowd’s antics as he played his solo of “The River” from KGATLW jazz-rock album “Quarters,” a smooth 10-minute jazz fusion journey that feels like gliding along a river, just like the name implies. The crowd was launched into a frenzy when KGATLW played a new song called “Altered Beast,” from its next album titled “Murder of the Universe.” Mackenzie howled like a man undergoing a werewolf transition under moonlight - an altered beast - showing ties to heavy metal for their next release. Smith switched places with Mackenzie and delivered the song calmly, but filled with emotion. KGATLW started the night with selections from “Flying Microtonal Banana”: songs like “Sleep Drifter,” a relaxed introduction to the show progressing with more energy as the song goes on, and “Billabong Valley,” a song written by band member Ambrose Kenny Smith. Under this label, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard (KGATLW) plans to release a total of five albums this year - ”Flying Microtonal Banana” being one. The band is managed under the independent record label Flightless, which is operated by one of the drummers, Eric Moore. Mackenzie is one of seven members in the band, which is composed of two drummers, three guitarists, a bass player and a member who encompasses a wide variety of instruments ranging from synthesizers to cowbells to the harmonica. “We’re all a bit jetlagged, we’re all a bit f-d up, but there’s no other way to enter your beautiful country,” lead singer Stu Mackenzie with his banana-yellow microtonal guitar, which is featured heavily on the band’s latest album, said. Microtones can be thought of as “half notes.” that morning for one of its first North American shows after the release of their latest album, “Flying Microtonal Banana,” which features music heavily made with microtones - notes in between semitones, the shortest distance between one note and the next note. The Australian psych/garage rock band had just arrived in D.C. It was hard to move an inch at the sold-out show without awkwardly bumping into a stranger.

If you'd like to get a support for a new board into Debian's u-boot, please get it in mainline u-boot and file a wishlist bug against u-boot: Support for boards enabled in the Debian u-boot packages should be in mainline u-boot, although backporting patches from newer versions of u-boot is a reasonable option: You can subscribe to get notifications by subscribing on the package tracker page. The current status page lists the last known working version for a variety of boards. Ideally each board gets tested every upload to the Debian archive, or at the very least once for each upstream version. The list of boards included in the Debian packages are in the debian/targets file: uboot/board/variscite/m圆var_som.Since each u-boot target is fairly board-specific, often supporting only a single board, the u-boot maintainers require someone from the Debian community to be listed as a tester for each of the boards included in the Debian package.

Point List – The vertex data is written as a list of points, one for each vertex.Line List – The model is written as a list of vertex pairs, one pair for each of its edges.Triangle List – The model is written as a list of its triangles.Each line is a vertex, and as with the other models, the number and order of vertices will depend on the model type you select in the next dropdown. Raw Vertex Data – The model will be output as a list of vertex data, which follows this format: x, y, z, x normal, y normal, z normal, uv x, uv y.GameMaker Model – The model will be output in GameMaker’s built-in model format and can be loaded to your game using d3d_model_load().The script will return the new model’s id. GML Script – The model will be output as a self-contained GML script, which can be added to your game as a script that you call to load your model.Basically, how you want your output data formatted. There are a number of formats and model types to choose from now – here is a brief explanation of what each of the settings does: Next you’ll see the standard Blender save dialog, but it’ll have some new options specific to the GameMaker export addon in the panel on the left. When you’ve got your 3D model ready to export, select it, then click File > Export > GameMaker 3D (.gml). Now you’re ready to start exporting models to GameMaker: Studio! Export Click Save User Settings and close the window. Once the script is installed, find it in your list of addons (type “gamemaker” in the search box, or click the Import-Export button tab to the left), and tick the small box on the right to enable it. Here is the most up-to-date version of the addon (last updated July 16, 2017): Blender addon script 1.6.1 Installationĭownload the script, then open up Blender and go to File > User Preferences, click the Addons tab at the top, then click Install from File. You can download this addon below, find instructions for how to use it, and this is where I will post all future updates to this project. You can find it here.Īfter becoming fed up with the traditional process of importing 3D models into GameMaker: Studio, I decided to write an addon for Blender which would allow direct export of 3D data to GameMaker – eliminating the need for weird middleware or slow/clunky import scripts. Other commands such as copy, paste, and rand also work in conjunction with multiple selection.Note: There is a new, better version of this script now, and it works with newer versions of Blender and GameMaker. This allows you to edit the material of multiple colors at the same time. Now multiple colors can be selected at the same time. Previously, only one color could be selected or modified at any given time inside of the Palette window. In this version you can now import and export JPEG images just like PNG images. They were also the only format supported for exporting an image as well. In previous versions of MagicaVoxel PNG images were the only way to import images into MagicaVoxel. The end result is now you can undo up to 100 commands. New compression techniques were introduced on the backend allowing for less memory usage. Artists can now construct voxel models with a max size of 256x256x256 as opposed to the previous limit of 128x128x128. In this version a larger canvas size for models was introduced. This update introduced some much requested improvements including a larger model size and multi-selection in the palette window.

Basically, I expected My Friend Flicka with scales and wings. I’ve read others, by Mercedes Lackey and others: a big scary dragons meets a girl who falls in love with the creature. I assumed it would be, like most novels with the word “Dragon” in the title, a cheaper knock-off of Anne McCaffrey’s Dragonflight series. When I picked up Dragon Keeper, a novel by Robin Hobb, it was specifically to have a nice, mindless read during my several hours of sitting in airports. If just baffles my mind that Hobb could write such amazing, beloved stories, and then turn around and write this disaster. I sincerely hope this story will improve as it goes along. The equivalent of this in those stories would be if Hobb had written in an extra five characters facing the troubles of being a bastard in a conservative society, and instead of making their experiences unique, she merely repeated the storyline of the first character with slight differences, over and over again, until their bastardhood overshadowed everything else about them and their experiences. The Farseer & Tawny Man series are about a royal bastard (the born out of wedlock kind, not the jerk kind). Free your women, give them more chance to LIVE! In the Farseer & Tawny Man series- the women had their troubles, most even faced sexism and oppression, but it was only one facet of their experiences, which made for well-rounded, interesting characters. Use some imagination for god's sake! Show some more subtle forms of oppression. They constantly use rape, abuse, or threat of them, as a plotline. And the series are completely uncreative in their oppression. But it should also be entertaining, and all the oppression just makes me depressed. Yes, fantasy should explore social issues. But Hobb could show the struggles of oppressed women, and even show a few of their perspectives, without repeating the same story over and over again. And I am a strong feminist, so normally I wouldn't make that kind of argument. In this, and the Liveship series, no women seem to be free from oppression of some sort, which makes for a boring story and stunts their characters. I cannot believe an editor was so lax as to approve this! I can ignore bad writing for the sake of a good story, but repetitive, uncreative writing just jars me from the story, and bores and frustrates me.Īs for the female characters- why are they so downtrodden? I get that Hobb might want to talk about the struggles of women in a less-developed, slightly oppressive environment, but she has gone overboard. The speech between one character and the next is almost identical sometimes, and conversation tends to repeat another character's thoughts from a mere one page earlier. 211 pages in, and I cannot recall any ordinary conversations- they are all super long, almost formal, and seem to talk about the same town issues/ over and over again, with no distinct differences in the perspective from different characters. I think her Liveship series was somewhere in between the others and this book in quality. And her wide variety of characters, and in particular her representations of women, were excellent. I adored the Farseer & Tawny Man series from Hobb, and her writing style was perfectly fine in those. This is a good story, but the writing does it absolutely no justice. I'm only about a quarter through this book, but it is frustrating me so much that I have to vent my feelings. So, though I stand by my low rating and negative review of Dragon Keeper, I would recommend you push through it and read the rest of the series, because I adored the second book.***** The improvement from the first book is almost miraculous. *****I just wanted to say that I have finished the second book, Dragon Haven. Best Smart Light Switches That Work With Alexa: Typical Features We typically recommend direct connect wifi smart light switches but that does not work for all situations as we will explain below. The other type of smart switch that works with Alexa requires a smart home hub to interface with the smart light switch and your home network. Alexa compatible light switches that connect directly to your wifi network don’t require any type of home control hub and are typically the easiest to setup and install. Most of the smart light switches connect directly to your wifi network and then connect to Alexa though the app on your phone after being installed with manufacturer app. There are two ways that smart light switches work with Alexa. Once you have it setup, you connect the smart light switch to the Alexa app through an Alexa Skill and you can then control your smart light switches with your voice on your Alexa device by saying “Alexa, turn on my bedroom lights.” To use a light switch that works with Alexa, you remove your old light switch, install the new smart light switch and then set it up through the manufacturers app on your phone. You can set up several smart home Echo Devices throughout your home to enable voice control throughout your home. These smart devices have microphones and speakers built in that listen for your voice and can respond with answers to your commands. Alexa is the smart assistant software built into Echo Devices like the Echo Dot, Echo Show and Echo Spot. You can ask Alexa questions like “what’s the weather today?”, “Who won the baseball game?” or “What’s the largest city in the world?”.Īlexa also serves a variety of assistant functions like setting alarms, timers and enabling smart home voice control of your smart devices like smart light switches and smart thermostats using your voice.Īlexa smart switches are smart light switches that work with Alexa. What Are Alexa Smart Switches?Īlexa is Amazon’s smart voice assistant that works with the sound of your voice. You can say “ Alexa, turn on my lights.” and Alexa will turn on your lights with just your voice. With smart switches for Alexa you can control your smart lighting using Alexa commands and your voice. In this post we review the best Smart Light Switches that work with Alexa. Bush for re-election instead of Kerry, who was then the junior U.S. In 2004, the newspaper again made waves when it endorsed President George W. should annex Mexico and was credited with helping to ruin John Kerry's chances of winning the 5th Congressional District seat in 1972.

The paper's most recent former home is across the street. One of the old news buildings, locally called "the Sunscraper," is a landmark high-rise topped with a huge neon "Sun" sign. Before March 18, 2007, the newspaper occupied a succession of offices on Kearney Square, about half a mile away. The newspaper's headquarters are in the first floor of the former American Textile History Museum building in downtown Lowell. It has been owned since 1997 by MediaNews Group of Colorado, which is owned by the hedge fund Alden Global Capital. As of 2011, its average daily circulation was about 42,900 copies.
