![]() It was an unusual beginning for me to start with the bathroom, but I wanted to have enough research time for a future exterior set. I have been thinking about the following subject for quite some time and my recent trip to the US made my decision final, we are going to New York City, precisely to SOHO. Single Window (square, extra short, short, medium & tall)Īs the Chateau Set ended, I want to take you to a new destination.Slim Single Window (extra short, short, medium & tall).Curved Window (extra short, short, medium & tall).Seamless Window Set (extra short, short, medium & tall).Open Sliding Door (short, medium & tall). ![]() This can be place on a 6 tile wide wall without MOO enabled and then you can place your windows around it or just be kind to yourself and build with MOO enabled at all times □Īll items are Base Game compatible and you can find them by searching KLEAN in the build/buy catalogue. NOTE: The open sliding door has a much larger footprint that it appears as I had to offset the frame to make sure that your sims would walk through the opening instead of the door frame. There is still a whole lot more to be added next month in the build department to fully flesh out the set, including solid doors, arches and stairs. My aim was to give you a full set of versatile windows, doors & skylights that would allow you to create a sleek and minimalist build. This month we are continuing with the build items. I want to thank you again for all the love and support, for the ones who celebrate I wish you a happy Christmas and a happy new year to everyone! This Set is on Early Access and can find more information about it here Don’t forget to look in the Wall section, there is a new brick wall and a cast iron wallpaper:) Another very typical thing you will find: is the iconic external fire escape, you will get 3 platforms and three stair heights, they are not functional just decor! I also created 11 more windows for this Collection in various shapes and heights. Most objects are wall decorations, you get columns, pilasters, arches, window frames, trims, and cornices. ![]() I decided to create items for both styles so you can mix and match them when you build apartment blocks. When I visited Soho two types of buildings stood out to me, elaborate red brick and elegant cast iron buildings. I was very much looking forward to this iteration of the Set, I love creating build items. I can’t believe it’s already the last month of the year, time flies when you are having fun :D, and fun I had while creating SOHO Part 3. 4 Tile Plaster Door Frame (short, medium, tall)Īs per usual textures are linked between similar items, so if you download the unmerged file, make sure to include all items from that family, so the textures appear correctly in your game.3 Tile Plaster Door Frame (short, medium, tall).2 Tile Plaster Door Frame (short, medium, tall).Plaster Window Frame (small, medium, large).4 Tile Plaster Arch (short, medium, tall).3 Tile Plaster Arch (short, medium, tall).2 Tile Plaster Arch (short, medium, tall).1 Tile Plaster Arch (short, medium, tall).Painted Wallpaper with Plaster Skirting.Its another build month with a whole load of wallpapers, floors, arches & decorative frames.Īll items are Base Game compatible and you can find them by searching KLEAN in the build/buy catalogue. ![]() It was really fun to be able to remake her new version of the oak console table I also created for The Country Collection, a million years ago! This time its a TV unit with a slot for your television and plenty of clutter slots. And with me tackling the living room & Felixandre the dining room, you can have the majority of items for your sims! If You are interested in purchasing any of the items IRL, then you can find them HERE I think if you have been here for a while you will know my love for all things Athena Calderone & when she collaborated with Crate & Barel to create her own capsule collection of items, I knew it would make a great set. Its finally time to reveal Shop The Look 3! This time Felixandre & I have taken it one step further and made complementary sets of items under the same theme for the edition of Shop The Look.

![]() I’ll be sure to buy those later on and test them out. ![]() Their own products seem to be under the VIDBOX brand. I know these cheap VHS recorders are generic, but it would appear that Honestech doesn’t have this device listed as theirs. So it begs the question, who made the Video DVR? You can adjust the volume within the software.īelow that you can set the timer for recording TV, Property settings, change the blue skin color to green (because that’s important), take a snapshot of the video playing etc.īasically there are functions you won’y waste time with.īack to the interface, if you click on the TVR tab (yes the word is a tab) it will take you to. Then there is the playback functions for videos recorded. So yes if you still watch TV through your PC, you could record it.įrom left to right you have the Record, Play which is just strictly for the recording and playback. The most popular format can only encode in set parameters that are grayed out and cannot be changed.Įtc Dialog – allows you to surf channels at once if you have that ‘ Big Brother monitor everything at once‘ desire within you. Also adjusting the quality, bitrate and encoding speed will increase the quality.Įxcept when it comes to MP4. There are other options to record in like DVD. Not the end of the world I guess, but certainly not something to get excited about either. The Video DVR will see the correct video size (720×576) and let me change aspect ratio in MPEG-2.īut for PAL region I can only still only record as 25FPS. And this is where things get interesting. Record Settings – Here you can change what type of file you want to record as. Personally I wouldn’t change any of those settings from a capture device as those adjustments can be done to bettereffect in a video editor. Video Settings – which will let you change the Brightness, Contrast, Hue and Saturation. That’s good.Īlong the left side there are three tabs. With the Video DVR connected via USB, the software instantly saw the device as USB 2.0 PC CAMERA and also the sound. I mean we’re here for recording your old VHS tapes right. I’ll cover what the other buttons do on the software but first I would like to draw your attention to this button, as this brings up the property settings. It just feels like it belongs in such an old computer era, not that I can talk. So it doesn’t come with the software it claims to, is that a big deal? Does the supplied software do the job? Well that doesn’t look like Ulead software to me. Installation is painless although reminiscent of the windows XP days.įinally we are presented with the Honestech TVR software. The software will ask for a serial number so be aware it is hidden in that folder under the name SN. Opening the TVR25 folder, there is a basic setup for PC only. The software is something totally different that the manual fails to mention at all. Going through the internet archive I did find this version of Ulead Video Studio 3.īut that isn’t the software that is supplied. I have a review of Corel’s latest VideoStudio Pro 2019 which will connect with this Video DVR. That software was bought out by Corel and has long gone. The manual says it comes with Ulead VideoStudio SE DVD. Interestingly I decided to read the manual before installing any software just to see what is involved. When I explored the whole disc there isn’t any tar files or dmg files. On that CD you will notice it says Windows XP, 7, 8, 10 also Mac OS and Linux. The device comes with a simple CD to install software. I tested the capture card on a Windows 8.1 PC and had no trouble with my computer recognizing the Video DVR. When plugged into the computer, the Video DVR will indicate it is connected via a green light. The other end of the device comes with a protective cap covering the USB. I was able to plug the device directly into a USB port on my computer without any risk of it falling out.Īlthough I can see if you only have vertical USB slots on your computer this capture card can start to dangle precariously.Ĭonnection is via an RCA composite input and an S-Video. The USB connection when extended will give you an extra 50cm of space between the computer and the Video DVR capture card. The Video DVR comes with the capture card itself, driver software and a USB 2.0 extension connection. What’s In The Box?īuying this from Ebay I wasn’t expecting much and that’s what I got. Turns out, it’s not that bad, with one caveat – but I’ll get to that a bit later.

However, in 2001, Timmons began re-examining his life when he was diagnosed with inoperable cancer. Timmons developed a knack for songwriting, and in his early twenties, he began turning professional, eventually co-writing with the likes of Mike Doheney of the group Tenth Avenue North, Michael Farren of Pocket Full of Rocks, Dove Award-nominated singer/songwriter Jason Walker, and LaRue frontman Phillip LaRue, while also serving as a worship leader at Mariners Church in Irvine. Timmons was born in Irvine, California on February 9, 1976, and he developed an interest in music as a child, taking up the drums when he was seven years old, learning to play guitar and write songs when he was 11, and teaching himself to play piano. Coming back from a dramatic cancer diagnosis, Timmons forged a career as an inspirational recording artist with albums like 2013’s Cast My Cares and 2015’s Awake Our Souls, later venturing into children’s music with 2017’s Who I Am. Worship Leader, singer and songwriter Tim Timmons is a man of faith whose principles were tested by hard luck and mortal challenges before he produced his first album of praise & worship music. Andrew, Franni and Martin were also aspiring musicians, passionate about sharing their gifts through songs and stories. “I think many producers are, in some way, closet artists,” Ed attests. They never could have imagined how, years later, God would bring their artist dreams full circle in the form of a family band. Though no longer pursuing careers as artists, both brothers continued to lead worship and remained involved in playing music at Young Life camps. ![]() After stepping off of the road to spend more time with his growing family, Scott began working with Ed writing and producing, and the brothers have written many songs together including “Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)”. Instead, behind the scenes, Ed went on to become an award-winning songwriter and producer, steering records for artists like Chris Tomlin, Crowder and Bethel Music and co-writing timeless songs like “How Great Is Our God,”“Amen (Because He Lives)” and “All My Hope,” among other hits. However, when they each became fathers, the dream of being an artist was relegated to put on the back burner. ![]() Despite there being an eleven year age gap between them, as both Ed and Scott entered their teens and early 20s, they embarked on similar individual journeys as touring artists and had the opportunity to be deeply involved in the ministry of Young Life. Their dad played guitar, and their mom played piano, resulting in a home filled with music.

The marketing teams at Nike and JD Sports, they came for us. “I wanted to get back to wearing clothes that are for us. When being questioned about this specific bar, Skepta expressed that he wanted to wear brands that were more representative of people of color. It could be argued that these bars about ditching designer brands like Louis Vuitton and Gucci put the Grime veteran Skepta back on the map-“That’s Not Me” is what we considered to be the most impactful Grime song released in the 2010s. Lyrics: “Yeah, I used to wear LV / I put it all in the bin 'cause that's not me / True, I used to look like you / But dressing like a mess? Nah, that's not me” Hudsons became instant sneaker grails and are still highly sought after today. Upon release, the Louis Vuitton Jaspers, Dons and Mr. Going so far as to announce that he was changing his name from the “Louis Vuitton Don” to “Martin Louis The King Jr.” while sitting next to the same Goyard suitcase he held when Tommy Ton photographed that iconic squad fit pic seen around the world. In typical Yeezy fashion, West gloated about becoming the first rapper to ever collaborate with the gilded French luxury house. During Paris Men’s Fashion Week in 2009, Kanye West uploaded a video of himself sitting inside a Parisian hotel room surrounded by pairs of Louis Vuitton sneakers that were shamelessly named after his closest friends at the time. Kanye West’s relationship with Louis Vuitton came to a head in 2009, when he released a line of sneakers that’s gone down in history. Lyrics: "I got them Yeezys on my feet, I got them Louies in the sto' / And I dropped another album, 'fore we finished up the tour" It’s widely speculated that the infamous murder attempt on 50 Cent in 2000 was sparked by the amount of names he dropped on this track. ![]() According to The New York Times, after a New Jersey state trooper caught Mickens speeding in a Mercedes-Benz 560 SEL, they discovered he had laundered tons of cash by buying cars under false names. His love for luxury cars, like the Louis Vuitton embellished Rolls-Royce that 50 referenced, is what led to his downfall. Mickens was only 26 when he got sentenced to 35 years in federal prison on drug, tax-evasion and money-laundering charges. These specific lines by 50 Cent were commenting on the opulent lifestyle of Thomas “Tony Montana” Mickens, a prolific drug kingpin and money launderer from Queens. The song primarily details the history of the Supreme Team, an infamous South Jamaica, Queens gang. Lyrics: “Helicopters, Rolls-Royces with Louis Vuitton interior / Might sound like I'm fantasizing, but son I'm dead serious”Ī great Louis Vuitton bar from 50 Cent’s unreleased Columbia Records debut album Power of the Dollar. Here are some of the best Louis Vuitton references in hip-hop. Louis Vuitton has definitely enjoyed great success in the realm of rap. And of course, Kanye West, the Louis Vuitton Don himself, certainly referenced the brand more times than we could count. 2 Chainz vowed that when he died, he would be buried inside a Louis Vuitton store. Cam'ron did it to show how he showers his girls with gifts. Whether it was belts, Takashi Murakami duffel bags, or Louis Vuitton sneakers by Virgil Abloh, MCs have been shouting out the French fashion house left and right. But one brand that remains timelessly fresh in the eyes of rappers is Louis Vuitton. ![]() In the '90s it was Versace, Tommy Hilfiger, and even Ralph Lauren. Often, they name-drop labels and designer names to prove their style is unmatched and to show their fashion knowledge. But of course, there have also been plenty of fashion label mentions. In fact, we've heard rappers mention sneaker brands, alcohol companies, and even tech conglomerates like Apple and its counterpart, Microsoft. There is definitely no shortage of brand references in hip-hop. And it was especially fitting that Louis Vuitton was the first house to do this. ![]() After hip-hop culture inspired luxury brands for years, one of its most stylish icons was finally put in the driver’s seat. It was a monumental moment for hip-hop culture. This year, Pharrell became Louis Vuitton’s creative director of menswear. ![]() Each course will consist of amazing games for you to improve your Foundation, Tactics, and Calculation skills, which are all needed to improve your chess playing skills.

![]() We have deliberately avoided adding more advanced techniques. Some things to keep in mind before you start using itīefore you have a look at the Retro Kit there are a few things that might be good to know. That way the team can simply grab the kit, head into a room and get going. What we sometimes do is package the Retro Kit together with post-its and sharpies. If the facilitator hasn’t used the Retro Kit before it’s probably a good idea to look through the colourful pages as well to get an idea of how the retrospectives work. The facilitator should read through the black pages before starting and also select the retrospective format they want to use. Perhaps there are a couple of people who like to do it and will take turns. In preparation for the retrospective you can decide to draw straws or rotate who facilitates within your team. So the idea is that you print the Retro Kit and have it in your team area. You can choose to use the retrospective plan with the open ended question of “How have things been working over the couple of weeks?” or have a themed retrospective where you focus on a specific topic and dive deeper into that. All of them are quite basic retrospective formats. Most of them have elements that help you keep track of time (see the upper right corner).Īs of now we have five guides: The Sailboat, Plus/Delta, WARP, Proud & Worried and Lean Coffee. They are set up as step by step guides that should be easy to follow. The colourful pages contain the actual retrospective guides. It has elements such as the prime directive, spheres of influence, voting mechanisms, warm up exercises and some general facilitation tips. ![]() The black pages contain some retrospective basics that can be good to read up on before you facilitate for the first time. The Retro Kit has 2 parts, the black pages and the colourful pages. Could we create a tool for teams to start running their retrospectives on their own in a fun and easy way? The idea for the Retro Kit was born!Īfter some prototyping, user testing and feedback we have now reached a state where we are ready to publish this to a broader audience. To achieve this, a couple of us came up with an idea. The aim is to provide tools for teams to become self sufficient. A central piece to that improvement are regular retrospectives where teams reflect on their way of working to continuously become better in what they do.Īs the role is currently evolving the coaches will take a more holistic stance and be less involved with teams and in team ceremonies, including retrospectives. That coach has, among other things, helped the team to improve their processes.

To make a nice thick pad, use rubber cement and glue two or three felt pieces together (Photographs 3 and 4). In this example a 50/50 cotton/acrylic felt, 3 mm thick is used. Ideally you will want to use a nice thick material that will effectively absorb sound waves. This is to limit the reflection of sound waves in the enclsoure.

Check the improvement for yourself by tapping the speaker chassis with a screw-driver before and after the modifications and listen to how much quicker the chassis ringing fades away. Photograph 2 shows an example of using duct seal to dampen the open gap between the motor and the chassis. Electrical duct seal is a non-hardening sealant that adheres to metal, masonry, wood or plastic.

The modifications and tweaks are generally focused around the idea that the light-weight stamped steel chassis can "ring".
