![]() ![]() Just make sure that, if your kids are playing, they’re tall enough or that you provide some assistance because many sets can go over four feet high. The increased size turns the game into a kind of extreme sport and makes it a great activity to play with a partner or other people. This is what makes it most suitable for outdoor play. Giant outdoor Jenga is, essentially, the same as regular Jenga, except with much larger heavy-duty blocks. ![]() If a block is taken out but not used, you must place it back where it came from, unless placing it back would cause the tower to fall. You’re allowed to tap the blocks out as necessary to make it easier to pull them out, but it’s a risky move as it increases the chances of the tower falling. The game ends when someone makes the tower tip over, with that person being the loser. You can only use one hand at a time to take out the blocks. Take turns pulling out one block at a time from the structure and placing it on the top of the tower. The person who assembled the tower starts. Once the tower is stacked, you’re ready to start. The first step is to assemble the tower by stacking the blocks in levels of three placed next to each other along their long sides and at a right angle to the previous level. Marketed by Hasbro since the 1980s, the original game of Jenga consists of 54 woodblocks. Jenga is a game with a simple premise but challenging execution. Keep reading to learn where you can get your own set of outdoor Jenga, as well as other alternatives to this popular game. A giant Jenga game is a great choice for a unique outdoor experience. ![]() If you’ve spent many challenging hours playing Jenga during board game nights, you’ll love this giant version. However, one activity checks off all of these boxes and more: giant outdoor Jenga. Whether you want a game to occupy the kids who are off for summer vacation, party games for your next backyard get-together with your friends, or a fun-for-all-ages game for some quality family time, there’s a game out there for you this summer. So, go ahead and get yourself a giant outdoor Jenga set for hours of outdoor entertainment with your mates in the backyard or the park.Summertime calls for outdoor games and activities with the ones you love. Even distribution of weight will make the tower stand tall and improve your chances of winning the game. If you take a block from the left side of the tower, place it on the right side, and vice versa. Placing the blocks alternatively will help stabilize the tower as it grows. Once you’re out of the middle blocks, try moving the left or right block to the center to maintain the center of gravity. Taking out the middle blocks at the start will help maintain the tower’s stability. ![]() Concentrate on your move and stay focused on your block to not accidentally tap too hard and cause the tower to fall to the ground. Rather than pulling the blocks out, slightly tap the middle blocks to push them out. To avoid this, you can tap the tower slightly with your finger to check stability and maintain the structural balance. If you pull out a block from the unstable side of the tower, the whole tower will collapse. Test stability by tapping the tower blocks lightly:.Here are a few tips to improve your chances of winning in Jenga: Jenga is all about strategy, and there are several tricks to win by keeping your tower stable when it’s your turn. ![]()

![]() ![]() Next of kin: Your kid sister, that hot girl in your philosophy class Lucky for me this disc is pretty rockin’ and easily outclasses any of their previous efforts. Simply put, I’d buy a Barbra Streisand album if Robert Smith did guest vocals on it. A handful of songs would sound perfect on older Blink albums, but the tracks exploring unfamiliar territory are much more intriguing. This is something wholly unfamiliar on a Blink 182 record, as are ‘The Fallen Interlude,’ a dark and dancy instrumental, and ‘All of This,’ a song featuring the incomparable Robert Smith of The Cure on guest vocals. Providing the eerily beautiful intro to ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ (easily the best song they’ve written to date) is a piano-accompanied female voice reciting a letter written by bassist Mark Hoppus’ grandfather to his wife while fighting in World War II. Pooling influences from side-projects (Boxcar Racer, The Transplants) and everything from Refused to ’80s pop, their sound is as diverse as ever. They’re trading in four-chord songs about adult diapers and high school crushes for pianos, string arrangements, production creativity and some of the best lyrics they’ve put to paper. ‘4/20/02′ solemnly remembers the passing of Alice In Chains’ Layne Staley – Vedder eulogizes the vocalist as a ‘lonesome friend we all knew.’ An offended Vedder also berates copycat bands like Creed and Godsmack for stealing their vocal style from Staley.īlazing a trail matched by few others in the genre since 1995, America’s juvenile pop-punk poster boys are all grown up. The album’s most special moment comes on a hidden track at the end of the second disc. ![]() Here, Vedder’s brilliance as a vocalist complements the band’s powerful songwriting as it has throughout band’s career. Another Christmas single, 1998’s ‘Drifting,’ an acoustic number featuring just Vedder and Gossard, features different vocals from the original version. ![]() ![]() ‘Let Me Sleep,’ from the 1991 fan club Christmas single, demonstrates Eddie Vedder’s passionate vocals. Stone Gossard steps forward from his usual guitar-only role on the punk-laden ‘Don’t Gimme No Lip.’ With crunchy guitar and upbeat drums, the song sounds similar to ‘Mankind,’ his contribution on 1996’s No Code. Drummer Jack Irons’ major contribution, the subdued, latent rocker ‘Whale Song,’ is one of the album’s magic moments. Bassist Jeff Ament takes lead vocal on ‘Sweet Lew,’ a binaural B-side about his one-time idol and NBA superstar, who changed his name from Alcindor to Karim Abdul-Jabbar. Some of the songs have never been released, including the patient and warming ‘Fatal.’ For the fan that has heard a lot of these songs before, this compilation remains a must-have.Įvery band member makes significant contributions to Lost Dogs. They didn’t just put in rare tracks they included alternate versions of these songs. With this release, Pearl Jam continues to put their fans first. This superior songwriting ability comes through on Lost Dogs, a double CD full of B-sides and rarities that covers every era of the band’s history. Even with their later albums that failed to match the commercial success of their debut, Pearl Jam continued to prove that they could still make innovative, interesting music unmatched by any contemporary. I came to really appreciate the band in the mid-’90s once virtually the entire rock world unsuccessfully mimicked – and continues to mimic – their sound and the sound of other extremely gifted artists of that era, like Alice in Chains and Nirvana. What I couldn’t have known then was that Pearl Jam would become my favorite band for most of the next decade. I fell in love with Pearl Jam 11 years ago when I first heard ‘Alive’ at a Valentine’s Day dance in seventh grade. ![]() ![]() Add pierogies and cook until floating, 2 to 3 minutes for fresh and 4 to 5 minutes for frozen. Freeze on the baking sheet, refrigerate up to 3 hours, or cook immediately.īoil a pot of water over medium-high heat (fill approximately 1 quart water for every 6 pierogies). ![]() Transfer to the baking sheet and repeat with remaining dough rounds and filling. Repeat on the opposite side to finish sealing the pierogi. Start with one pinch at the top, then move to one “corner” of the pierogi and pinch along the edge back to the top. Using your finger, swipe a very scant amount of egg wash-just a light touch-around the edge of the dough round.įold into a half-moon shape: Either fold the dough over the filling on the work surface-I call this “the blanket”-or gently cup the pierogi in your hand in a U shape-I call this “the taco.” Gently but firmly seal the pierogi by pinching and squeezing the edges together with your thumb and pointer finger. Spoon 1 teaspoon filling into the center of dough rounds. It seems wasteful, but the dough won’t be as tender the second time around. Resist the temptation to re-roll dough scraps for additional rounds. If the dough isn’t quartered evenly, you may get 5 rounds from one piece and 7 from another. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 6 rounds of dough. ![]() Roll the remaining dough as thinly as possible into a rough 8- x 12-inch rectangle. Set aside 3 dough pieces and cover with the mixing bowl. Line a rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.ĭivide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces with a bench scraper or knife. Reserve the egg wash for assembling the pierogies. Cover the dough with the bowl and let rest 15 minutes. Tip the dough and any remaining shaggy flakes out onto a clean work surface. Once the dough starts to come together, press and smash it against the sides of the bowl with your palms, picking up dough bits and essentially kneading it within the bowl until it forms a ball. The dough will initially be very dry and shaggy, seeming as if it will never come together, but have no fear: Keep stirring, and it will pull itself into shape. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the flour. Pour the flour into a separate large bowl. Whisk the egg, sour cream or yogurt, butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until the apples are very soft and liquid is mostly absorbed, about 10 minutes. ![]() Uncover and stir in the sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice. Stir in the chopped apples, cover, and cook for about 5 minutes until the apples begin to soften. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. They're indulgent when drizzled with caramel sauce or topped with whipped cream, but taste just as good when simply tossed in melted butter. Just pinch the little pierogies together! Serve these sweetly spiced apple pie-rogies as a family friendly dessert or special snack. If you've never made pierogies from scratch before, you'll be very pleasantly surprised by how easy it is to make the dough-no yeast, basically no kneading, and no stand mixer necessary. And with our collective appetite for sweet treats, it seems more than appropriate to turn a traditional all-American dessert of apple pie into a bite-size pierogi that all ages will enjoy. In my book, Pierogi Love: New Takes on an Old-World Comfort Food, I serve up a buffet of unconventional fillings for these classic Polish dumplings, ranging from savory reuben or crab cake pierogies to Nutella and s'mores versions. That explains a lot when it comes to the pierogi (and the dumpling's) worldwide popularity: how can you resist anything wrapped in soft, chewy dough? Comfort food comes in many forms, but if we were doing an informal survey, I'd estimate that at least half of our favorite comforting dishes involve dough or carbs of some sort. ![]() ![]() ![]() Geometries of Molecules with Expanded Valence Shells Electrons in multiple bonds, like nonbonding pairs, exert a greater repulsive force on adjacent electron pairs than do single bonds.Nonbonding electron pairs exert greater repulsive forces on adjacent electron pairs and thus tend to compress the angles between the bonding pairs.By contrast, nonbonding electrons move under the attractive influence of only one nucleus and thus spread out more in space.

This entry was posted in Uncategorized by JeffGater. That is simply because I forgot to photograph a procedure on the first door and was getting the images I needed from the second door. You may notice the door looks different from one photo to the next. The next set of photos are of two mortise locks I recently installed this year. Everything must look balanced from the street to when a visitor is close enough to push the door bell button. These types of installations are especially stressful and time consuming. The challenge of these doors is to get the dummy hardware level and symmetrical to the active hardware. These doors have an active door which gets the working hardware, and an inactive door which gets “dummy” hardware. Another time consuming mortise lock installation are double-doors. Only the cylinder and handle holes have to be drilled through. Commercial metal doors are usually prefabricated to accept a mortise lock. Metal residential doors must have a wood core to install the lock in. Some doors were metal, these were especially time consuming. I have worked on many mahogany or special order doors where the installer only gets one chance to do a perfect job. The following is a small sampling of mortise locks I have installed on “virgin” doors, or doors with no existing holes. In other words, don’t hire a locksmith on the fly to do such an intricate time consuming task. The point is the locksmith was questioned by the customer, “have you ever installed this kind of lock before?” The locksmiths response was, “of course, I have installed many of these locks before.” Obviously the locksmith forgot the procedure or he might have been lying.Īny locksmith who has installed a mortise lock before should be referred by reputation, have photographic proof of his or her work, or be able to show the customer the specialized tools they have purchased to insure an accurate and competent job. Since the door was brand new and the door company provided the locksmith to install the mortise lock, the customer demanded a new door. ![]() I installed the lock so it would function as intended, but I could not cover some of the holes drilled through the door. When I arrived the handle-set was on an angle, as opposed to vertical and parallel to the door frame. ![]() About 10 years ago I was called to a home to see if I could correct another locksmiths attempt at a mortise lock installation. Even today the front door is often the homes presentation (or first impression) to the neighborhood and sets the theme for what the decor might be inside. The idea was to conceal the deadbolt and latch mechanisms while only showing off the beautiful decorative handle-set on the entry way of a home. Mortise means the whole lock fits into a cavity cut into the door. So all things need to be kept in perspective. However, a gallon of gas was less than 25 cents and a loaf of bread cost about a nickel. I’m sure the labor to install these locks was a small fraction of what it cost today. And the lock was built to last, possibly forever if maintained correctly. The whole lock with solid brass handles could be purchased for about $36.00. While talking with one of my mentor’s who fought in WWII, I was told the full mortise lock was a very common lock in the prewar era. One of the most challenging jobs a professional locksmith will encounter is installing a full mortise lock. ![]() ![]() As for parking options, they are as follows: attached garage, 5 spaces, 469 sqft garage.

You just can’t buy anything that gives you more control over pictures than Photoshop does.īut Photoshop has some big drawbacks: It’s darned hard to learn, it’s expensive (and now a lot of people are turned off by Adobe’s new subscription-only Creative Cloud plan), and many of its features are just plain overkill if you don’t work on pictures for a living.įor several years, Adobe tried to find a way to cram many of Photoshop’s marvelous powers into a package that normal people could use. Every photo you’ve seen in a book or magazine in the past 15 years or so has almost certainly passed through Photoshop on its way to being printed. It’s the Big Cheese, the industry standard against which everything else is measured. (For instance, if you’ve used Photoshop, what you know as Smart Sharpen is called Adjust Sharpness in Elements.) Happily, you have this book to guide you.Īdobe Photoshop is the granddaddy of all image-editing programs. It’s a capable, midlevel image-editing program, but you need to know where to find things, since Elements is laid out quite differently from Photoshop and some features have different names. If you’re one of them, Elements may be a good fit for you, but you need to be aware that a lot of features and controls are pretty well hidden in Elements. ![]() Since Adobe introduced their new Creative Cloud monthly subscription plan for Photoshop, a lot of people are looking for an alternative that doesn’t require paying every month forever. Even if you already have a photo-management program like Adobe’s Lightroom or Apple’s Aperture, you’ll find that Elements offers tools for certain tasks that you can’t perform with those programs. But for most people who aren’t creating images for commercial printing, Elements offers a very useful toolkit at an appealing price. If you run a graphics studio or a large professional photography business, then you need the full version of Photoshop. It lets you take a ho-hum shot and give it some wow. It’s easy to see why: Elements gives people all the tools they need to get the very best from their photographs.

It also has useful auto-off timers from 30 to 90 minutes, and a 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. This is especially useful for parents, providing flexibility in where you place it in a bedroom. One notable feature is its internal rechargeable battery, which takes only two hours to fully charge and lasts over eight hours. ![]() The device is close to the LectroFan Evo in maximum volume, reaching over 70 decibels. The speaker delivers clear and impressively loud sound, with surprisingly good bass quality for a white noise machine. The D3 Pro has clearly labeled category buttons, making it convenient to cycle through the sound types. There are also a few for kids, such as a lullaby, music box, and heartbeat. There are 29 sound options to choose from, including 15 nature/relaxing sounds, seven types of white noise, and seven fan sounds.Īs well as having some relaxing deep pink and brown noise, there are favorites like rain, sea waves, and birds. The Dreamegg D3 Pro is an excellent all-rounder white noise machine. See it in action in my full LectroFan Evo review. With a typical price range of $50 to $60 in the US or £60 to £80 in the UK, the LectroFan Evo is a slightly more expensive option, but offers high-quality sounds, a superior volume range, and excellent sound masking. It also needs to be plugged in to operate, which could be a drawback for some people. One downside is that it lacks nature sounds, with only two ocean surf sounds. It also has useful auto-off timers and a minimalist, compact design for easy transport. Physically, the LectroFan Evo is designed with user-friendliness in mind, with easy-to-use buttons and a headphone jack for private listening. Furthermore, its sounds are dynamically generated, providing a continuous, non-looping noise. The incremental volume range is particularly beneficial if you need to match higher levels of external noise like traffic or loud music when you want to sleep, study, or work. I measured it at 77 decibels on a white noise setting from a meter away. The sound quality is excellent, with a speaker that produces louder maximum volume than the others in this list. And as well as intense white noise, there’s deeper pink and brown noise that block lower-frequency ambient sounds well. There are household or industrial fan sounds to choose from. What’s particularly good about the Evo is that it offers a wide spectrum of white noise and fan variations. It’s also a good choice if you have tinnitus and want to mask that internal sound. It has 22 unique sounds, giving you options for masking whatever external noise is bothering you. The LectroFan Evo is a robust and effective white noise machine that excels in blocking out disruptive noise. Ideal for adults who prefer white noise and fan sounds to nature sounds. The best white noise machine for sleep, studying, or tinnitus. However, the manufacturers may change design details in the future. Please note that all of the photos are my own, and the exact white noise machines I used. You’ll find an in-depth look at each white noise machine, followed by comparison tables for easy evaluation. In this article, I’ll be sharing my top picks, from compact and portable models to larger machines with more powerful speakers. I’ve shared my insights through more than 25 video reviews, both here on my website and on my YouTube channel. Over the past decade, I’ve extensively used and tested a wide range of white noise machines. Even without external noise to block out, the sounds they produce can be calming and beneficial for relaxation.You can play them in your room, or a child’s room, without needing a smart device or WiFi signal.They offer a variety of sounds to cater to different preferences.The power consumption is typically low.They mask disruptive or inconsistent noise with a steady, soothing background sound.White noise machines are a good choice for several reasons: Other than improving the soundproofing of your room, some effective options include earplugs, headphones, speakers, and white noise machines. If you, or someone you know, is frequently disturbed by unwanted noise you can’t control, there are various ways to reduce how much noise you actually hear.
