![]() It turns out that the key is having enthusiasm for the Project itself. I’m way outside of both of those demographics, and while I clearly have Jell-O memories going way back, it’s not like it’s ever been my favorite thing. They also tend to be housewives and/or Mormons. Other people who’ve done Jell-O blogs have claimed to love (or be obsessed with) Jell-O. I’ll be honest with you – a major ongoing challenge has been maintaining enthusiasm for Jell-O. ![]() As far as I’ve been able to discover, nobody else has been able to cook their way through this book, so that, when it happens, will be an accomplishment. If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the course of this Project, it’s the need to pace myself, and the main thing is to actually finish. I don’t see that happening at this point. In the last unmemorable Memory Lane piece, Quick Creme de Menthe Frappé, I announced that I would try to have all of the recipes completed and posted by my fiftieth birthday in January 2017. That was the part Bryan liked, probably because it had ice cream in it, and ice cream makes everything better. At least then the photo would have been more interesting, and I could have had a bavarian layer than wasn’t creepy pink. I can see now I should have mixed it up a bit. Apparently I just went with strawberry for both layers, but the recipe calls for “any flavor” Jell-O. Reviewing the recipe, I see that I could have made this more interesting. Frozen fruit is great in a gelatin dish insofar as it helps to cool the gelatin so that it thickens faster, but it’s difficult to find frozen fruit that has both flavor and a non-weird texture. Back when I was rating the recipes, I gave this one two “nasties”, because it wasn’t as nice as I expected, and because I was dissatisfied with the Trader Joe’s frozen fruit medley that I used for the jelly layer. I’m pretty sure I’ve made a number of them like this, a jelly layer atop a bavarian layer. It’s clear from the photo why I have no memory of Layered Parfait Mold. Scanning through my editorial calendar, it looks like I’ve front-loaded the blog with the more memorable items (whether this was intentional or not, I’ll leave the reader to guess), so from here on in you can count on Memory Lane to be cracked and increasingly overgrown by weeds. It’s kind of ironic that I’ve named this category of recipes “Memory Lane”, because often I have no memory of them at all. Layered Parfait Mold – no wonder I don’t remember it…

With the release of Windows XP in 2001, Microsoft introduced Internet-based versions of its solitaire games that allowed players to compete against each other online. These new games were well-received by players and helped increase the popularity of solitaire among casual gamers. Over time, Microsoft added more games to its solitaire collection, including FreeCell and Spider Solitaire. It quickly became popular among users who wanted a quick distraction from work or study. The inclusion of a free game in Windows was an innovative strategy by Microsoft to encourage people to use their operating system and showcase its graphical capabilities. The original version featured only one game, Klondike Solitaire, which was based on a classic card game popularized in the late 19th century during the Klondike Gold Rush. ![]() The first version of Microsoft Solitaire was released in 1990 as a free game bundled with Windows 3.0. ![]() To prevent harm to wildlife and ensuring your cat is safe, we recommend keeping your cat at home (see this article for more information). Attach these hunting deterrents just before your cat goes out, and remove them when they come back in, so your cat learns that it becomes part of their routine if they choose to leave your home. Bells will initially reduce the number of birds and small mammals caught, though clever cats soon adapt their stalking behaviour to minimise the noise warning. The success of your cat’s natural hunting drive can be reduced by a colourful collar cover, anti-pounce bib, or ultrasonic beeper. If your cat spends time outdoors roaming without supervision, you can attach various devices to their collar to reduce predation on wildlife. Alternatively, you can order a collar embroidered with your phone number or you could write your number on the collar with a permanent pen. Options range from cheap engraved tags through to newer GPS trackers. Include your cat’s name and one or two phone numbers be sure to update the tag if these details change. Check the condition and fit of your pet’s collar weekly.Įnsure your cat’s collar has some identification to make it quick and easy for you to be contacted and reunited with your cat, if necessary. You should be able to fit one large or two small fingers between the collar and hair. Using a quick-release collar minimises this danger. We advise against non-stretch collars with fixed buckles or stretch collars that can lose their elasticity as they age.Ĭollar injuries are rare, but can be serious, and are usually linked to the collar being too loose or too tight. For this reason, we recommend the use of collars with a quick-release breakaway clip that will open when pulled with force. The encircling shape of collars means that cats can catch their legs and teeth in the collar, or the collar can get stuck on objects that the cat passes. Another use is to add coloured material or bells to the collar to warn wildlife when your cat is close by and so minimise the chance that your cat might harm wildlife. This way they can be returned to your care as soon as possible. The main purpose of a collar is so that your cat can be identified as a companion animal if they are lost or unwell. ![]() This type of collar will snap open if snagged on an object, lowering the risk of your cat getting stuck or injured due to the collar. ![]() To balance your cat’s safety with providing easy identification, a collar with a breakaway clip and ID tag is recommended. The draw weight is initially set at 70 lbs but is adjustable from 40 lbs to 70 lbs in 10 lbs increments (there is also a 65-pound midpoint between 60 and 70 pounds too). The let-off is fine for fans of Obsession hardware because they know to expect something in the 80%+ range. The let-off is 80% which is fairly typical of Obsession bows which tend to be in the 80-84% range for this. Draw length from 25-inches to 31-inches.The draw length defaults at 28.5 inches but is adjustable from 25 inches right up to 31 inches at the maximum. The manufacturer’s PerFex modeling provides a unique draw length modification process that allows for minimal half-inch adjustments to the length, to match the hunter’s requirements perfectly. The riser is smaller than some and works with the Dynamic Energy cam with the brace (7 inches) to deliver accurate arrow releases every time. The bow is dark and coated with a rust-resistance protective shield. The Obsession Hemorrhage RH is a black compound bow that uses the latest design language and bow technologies to deliver superior speed in a compact form. Obsession Hemmorhage – RH – 31″ DL / 70 lb DW.Obsession Hemorrhage RH – Kryptek Typhoon.Obsession Hemmorhage RH – 28.5″/70 lb.Renowned bow designer Kevin Strother is a large part of the new bow designs with releases that please the brand ambassadors who follow each new product with interest. Thus, the number and range of compound bows, along with their IPO speed rating, has steadily increased along with their accelerating sales. With additional capital, the original founders have been able to increasingly focus on both design and customer service with fewer distractions. In 2014, Arcus Hunting LLC (part of Bregal Partners) made its third archery-related acquisition in recent years with its purchase of Obsession Archery, its brand and product range from Dennis and Angela Lewis. Cams and other parts were machined at these facilities rather than trust outsiders to produce the type of components that Obsession relied on to deliver some of the speediest compound bows in the US market. Manufacturing continued through 2011 and in future years at several facilities across the US. Strother was properly reimbursed for his expertise. Dennis accepted the offer of a bow design but ensured that Mr. Renowned bow designer, Kevin Strother of Longleaf Machine, offered a free bow design in November 2011. Unfortunately, Dennis Lewis experienced a serious hunting accident and in 2011 was unable to continue creating new bows. The company was founded by Dennis and Angela Lewis and has been involved in bow design and production from the beginning. The bows from Obsession have been sought after for some years.
Blend out with a concealer brush for a bright, wide-awake under eye.” Clever, huh?īefore picking a shade, decide where you’re actually using your concealer. “For a universally flattering lift effect, apply a small amount of concealer towards the inner corner of the eye and a small amount on the outer corner, pulling upwards in the direction of the temple. Once completed, pat around the edges to melt the concealer onto the surrounding skin.”įor concealing under eyes, it's all about technique, says Dowdall. “Apply in a crosshatch pattern, with light layers of product from the top to bottom of the blemish and then from left to right, building up to your desired level of coverage. “When concealing spots, ‘pinpoint concealing’ works best,” says Dowdall. But whose under-eyes match that description? (Nobody’s - the answer is nobody’s.) Reagan suggests laying down moisturiser or eye cream for any areas you are concealing, ensuring “a smooth application, allowing the concealer to blend evenly.” We love CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream, £11.20. The ideal environment for base makeup is even skin, free of any dry patches. We hit up Hourglass' Global Beauty Director, Marc Reagan, and Bobbi Brown's Senior Pro Artist, Warren Dowdall, to get some expert advice on finding (and applying) concealer like a pro. ![]() ![]() If you're looking for an under-eye concealer that actually covers dark circles and a cover-up that will blur away blemishes, we can help.Īs if choosing the best foundation for your skin type wasn't already tough enough, choosing the right concealer to suit your specific needs is another mission all on its own. ![]() ![]() Note: When I wrote this tip, I was not aware of SVG Icon Tool, which Converts SVGs to AppSheet format. SkrOYC introduced us to this site, which works quite well: ![]() In Inkscape, I set the document to my preferred size (600 x 280), then import my png image, tweak if necessary, and then export as svg. I understand it is also available for Windows. I use a free program called Inkscape on my Mac. It's a bit tedious but if you don't have that many images, it's doable. SkrOYC's tip helped me see that the solution is to put SVG images in your spreadsheet because that way they don't require a URL and display instantly. I finally got the help I needed from this tip written by Icon/Background/Launch image generation with no public URL needed (SVG) I've been wondering if there might not be a workaround for this problem for quite some time now. When a user is shown the following sort of message, it might take a second or two for the image to show up - not very cool: This, however, caused a different problem. So, for these reasons, I had to turn "Store images for offline use" off. (By the way, the syncing didn't just get stuck - it caused my iPhone to get hot: ) I've reported this issue to AppSheet but it remains unresolved: In my case, I use some QuickChart graphs as images in my app but, for some reason, those images cannot be cached and, instead of being skipped on my iPhone, they cause the syncing to get stuck when I have "Store images for offline use" set to "on". If, however, you would like to have a small subset of images appear immediately, regardless of your internet connection but, for some reason, cannot or do not want to store all of the images that may be added to your app by users, this tip may help you. If you are comfortable caching ALL of the images in your app, you may not need this tip. (Please vote for these if you would like to be able to control caching by table, instead of the current all-or-nothing choice.) Store content for offline use for specific tablesįiner-grain control over local image caching The feature requests (both for basically the same thing) can be viewed here: This tip is a workaround to solve a problem for which a new feature has been requested. Your Internet bandwidth is not being used. This is because the file is being downloaded through localhost. You should notice a very high speed which is much higher than the speed of your Internet connection. To verify the setup, open any of the package (.pkg or pkg) URLs in your browser and check the download speed as it downloads the package. Leave the Terminal window open to keep the localhost server running until the process is completed. The current directory (macos_local) is now hosted on localhost. Provide the admin password and click on Allow in the subsequent message prompt. With macos_local as the present working directory in Terminal, execute the following command: “ sudo python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80”.Click on Authenticate when prompted, and provide the system admin password. Place the downloaded package files in their respective relative location (as per their URLs) within the macos_local folder on the Desktop.pkg files, inside the macos_local folder (Provide the admin password when requested): “ sudo mkdir -p. Enter the following command to create the relative path for the.Go to the newly created folder by typing “ cd macos_local” and hitting return.Type “ mkdir macos_local” and hit return to create the root directory of the same name on Desktop.Type “ cd Desktop” on the command line and hit return to enter the Desktop folder.Open Terminal from the Launchpad or Applications list.The below instructions will guide you through the set up process. Then, we’ll use macOS’ buit-in SimpleHTTP server convert the folder into a web server directory. ![]() Once the relative path has been created, we’ll configure the localhost server to point to the “macos_local” directory on Desktop. In this example, we’ll create a folder named “macos_local” on Desktop, and replicate the directory structure of the package URLs under the same. Step 3: Place the package files in a certain relative path from the localhost root, so as to mimic the structure of their respective download URLs. In that case, use the “sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder” command to flush DNS cache. Note: Sometimes, you might need to flush the DNS cache for the changes to take effect. Press control + X (^X), then Y and hit return to save the file and return to Terminal prompt.įrom now on, any request issued for the particular root domain () from the Mac will be directed to localhost.Append the following line to the end of the file: “ 127.0.0.1 ”.The hosts file is now open in editable mode within the Terminal window. Provide the System Password when prompted.Type in the following command: “sudo nano /etc/hosts”.Launch Terminal on your Mac from Launchpad or Applications list.The below instructions will guide you to modify the hosts file as required. To do this, you need to edit the hosts file on Mac to point the root domain of the download URLs (“”) to localhost (“127.0.0.1”). ![]() Step 2: Configure your Mac so that MAS looks for the macOS packages locally instead of from the Apple server.
To restart your router, locate and remove the power cable from your router which is typically located at the back. It is possible that it is just having temporary problems communicating with your ISP’s server. Now, if the speed test result comes out slow or not close to the specified speed by your ISP (Internet Service Provider) what you can do is to restart your internet router. It is a trusted speed test tool that can accurately measure your internet connection upload and download speed to check if you are getting the correct internet speed bandwidth based on your monthly subscription plan. To verify this, you can perform a speed test using a third-party website like ( provided by Netflix ). ![]() Due to slow internet connection, Fortnite might not be able to communicate with its servers and unable to verify your account’s information which causes the login failed error.
