Both royal families claimed the throne through descent from the sons of Edward III. The Wars of the Roses were a series of civil wars fought over the English throne from 1455 to 1485, preceding the government of the Tudors. Tudor Rose SourceĪ symbol of unity after wars, the Tudor Rose was created by Henry VII of England to represent the unification of the royal houses of Lancaster and York. It’s said that the symbol represents the dual nature of endings and beginnings at the same time. Throughout Europe, the yew is the longest-living tree and became sacred to various divinities like Hecate. The 20th ogham letter, Iodhadh stands for the unity of death and life and corresponds to the yew tree. Eventually, these sigils developed into letters, used from the 4th to the 10th century CE. The ancient Celts used ogham sigils to symbolize certain shrubs and trees. In modern interpretations, it can also represent the intangible things we inherit from our family. In ancient Scandinavia, properties had to be passed down from generation to generation, in order to keep families and cultural traditions rooted in place. The Odal Rune is also regarded as the rune of heritage, which could refer to the literal ancestral land of the family. Odal RuneĪlso called Othala or Ethel, the Odal Rune is part of the alphabet used by Germanic peoples from Scandinavia, Iceland, Britain, and northern Europe from the 3rd century to the 17th century CE.Ĭorresponding to the o sound, it’s the symbol of family unity, togetherness, and belonging, often used in magic to promote harmonious family relationships. The word Ouroboros originated from the Greek that means tail-devourer, but its representations can be traced back to ancient Egypt, around the 13th and 14th centuries BCE. It’s a positive symbol that represents the unity of all things and the cyclic nature of the universe. OuroborosĪn alchemical and gnostic symbol, the Ouroboros depicts a snake or a dragon with its tail in its mouth, continuously devouring itself and being reborn from itself. By forming a circle, people create a sense of unity, where participants can share and hear stories. In some religions, believers would gather in a circle to pray, which is called a prayer circle.Ĭircles bring individuals together in a way that creates trust, respect, and intimacy. In fact, most traditions, such as talking circles or peacemaking circles, were derived from their symbolism. One of the oldest symbols in the world, the circle became associated with unity, completeness, eternity, and perfection. In fact, adding 1 to any odd number makes it even, and vice versa. In their system, odd numbers were male and even numbers female, but the number 1 was neither. It was regarded as the origin of all things since all other numbers can be created from it. The Pythagoreans gave certain numbers mystical significance-and the number 1 became their symbol of unity. Here’s a look at the different symbols of unity, and how they helped bind different groups together toward a common goal. As the famous quote goes, “We’re only as strong as we’re united, as weak as we’re divided”. Unity is one of the keys to maintaining lasting harmony and peace.

Try to stay close to the tower so the row is as vertical as possible. The Rope Attachment is another popular attachment for Cable Upright Rows.ĭon’t stand too far away from the machine. *You can use multiple different attachments other than a straight handle. Do not ‘jerk’ or ‘rock’ the weight up and keep the handle close to the torso throughout.Lower the handle under control back to the front of the thighs.At the top, the elbow should be higher than the wrist, and above the shoulders.Pull the cable handle upward along the abdomen and chest toward the chin.Flex your knees slightly and stand upright with good posture.Grab the handle with an overhand grip and stand tall with the handle starting right in front of the thighs.Attach a straight handle* to a cable machine and lower the attachment pin to the bottom of the beam.I’ll also explain which exercise may be better for specific goals like developing strength and increasing muscle. In this article, I’m going to go into detail on how to do each exercise. In cable upright rows, the hands are placed close together and the weight is lifted vertically, whereas in face pulls the hands are wider apart and the weight is brought towards the face.īoth exercises can be effective in building strength and muscle in the upper body, but face pulls may be a better option for those with shoulder injuries or mobility issues. While both exercises involve pulling a weight towards the body, the key difference between the two is the position of the hands and the path of the weight. Cable upright rows and face pulls are two exercises that target the muscles of the upper back and shoulders. Wait 10 to 20 seconds to see if the tower will fall. You can’t push a block from the top of the Giant Jenga tower. Once you decide who goes first, player one slides or pushes a block from any level of the tower that is below the very top level and places it on the top level of the Giant Jenga tower. You can decide who first gets to build the tower by drawing straws or by a flip of the coin. This is normally determined by whoever built the Giant Jenga tower. To play Giant Jenga, you first need to decide who goes first. You can always play more games later for those that don’t get to go first. Do these steps until the Giant Jenga tower is builtĪny number of people can play in our version but try to keep it down to 2 to 3 players maximum for the most enjoyment.Continue to build the Giant Jenga tower, in the same way, alternating the three blocks so that every new layer is perpendicular to the last three blocks.Place three more Giant Jenga blocks the same way you did for the first three blocks but perpendicular to the first three blocks.Place three Giant Jenga blocks side by side with the wider side facing up for each block.To set up Giant Jenga, you will need a Giant Jenga set and then set up the tower following these instructions: You can also draw straws or flip a coin to see who goes first. Being the first to play normally doesn’t have any advantage, so don’t always be the one to volunteer to go first. The player that builds the tower is the first to play.

When I did promotion for the film, we had a moderator on stage and she said, "What was it like to work with Meryl Streep?" I said, "Frankly, she was not my first choice." Everyone in the theater just cracked up, except two young girls sitting in the front, and one of them said, "Well that wasn't very nice."Įven for a brilliant comedian like Lily Tomlin, there will always be someone who just doesn't get the joke.įor more information on Grandma visit the film's website. When I got the part, everyone was saying, "What is it going to be like to work with Meryl Streep?" My own mother was saying that to me. Just because the rest of you assholes call a woman a douche bag!" I was just emphatic about it and Bette said, "Lil, lighten up." I said, "How would you feel if Sophie goes to see this movie in 15 years and she hears these guys calling their mother a douche bag?"Ī Prairie Home Companion: Working with Meryl Streep was so exciting. Lucy!īig Business: I had a big falling-out with the producers because they had the gay characters calling Bette Midler's character a "douche bag." I said, "You cannot have the gays calling her a douche bag, it makes them seem like woman haters. Who were some of the female performers who inspired you while you were growing up? Only your seasoned readers will know them, but I was inspired by the old television stars - Gracie Allen, Imogene Coca, Gale Storm, Ann Sothern, Jean Carroll, who was a stand-up. Having Jane Fonda, Kate McKinnon, Reba McEntire, and Jane Lynch - such a funny quadruple group of people - and Jane Lynch saying she used to do my routines when she was a kid. What was it like at the Kennedy Center Honors to see just a few of the many female performers who you've inspired pay tribute to you? That was the best part. So many people asked me, "When are you and Jane gonna get married?" so I finally said, "We're thinking about it." Once I opened that door it was like a barrage of "When are you and Jane gonna get married?" So we did. Why, after 42 years together, did you decide to do it? It was just kind of like 'cause we could. Speaking of marriage, congratulations on yours. Absolutely! I was asked in the press who's the most important gay person of the last decade and I said, "Ellen, because she came into everyone's home and she was this likable, adorable, funny person who just took over." They may not realize it, but they've been the beneficiaries of that activism, like my friend Vito Russo and what he endured, and he's not really here to see it.Īnd now she's the darling of every housewife in America. I want to say it's because of everyone who came before them who did whatever they tried to do. This generation has been out of this world. But what's it been like to see the changes in LGBT equality and in media depictions of gay characters from then until now? The last 10 to 15 years it's been sort of stunning. You've always supported gay projects such as appearing in And the Band Played On and narrating The Celluloid Closet. In 1969 you became an overnight star on Laugh-In the same year as the Stonewall riots and the beginning of the gay liberation movement. I felt that Paul understood the character and knew what he was doing. I wouldn't have been able to start the movie if I had. I felt that this was true and authentic and I was comfortable with that. Hearing the news, the other set of twins. Did you feel any responsibility playing a gay character when we don't see many in major motion pictures? I always feel responsible for the person I'm going to play on the screen. Now, some 40 years later, the wealthy pair (Bette Midler, Lily Tomlin) are involved in a business deal to buy and close down a factory in Jupiter Hollow. You played a lesbian in the film Tea With Mussolini, but in Grandma you're the central character.

I collect skins in games, that's all, cause you'd think that would be the least stressing thing in the world, sit on your ass and press 2 buttons. I quit my job, my life and everything pretty much cause of that. Stress almost literally killed me years ago. People saying i'm trolling, you'd think that, but i'm really not. But hey people want more challenge and difficulty, cause the game is too easy, so i don't know, i could use less, much less.Īll i want to do is get some skins and relax and turn off my brain, but no. and that mage is even more geared now that any other toon. And by shit i mean that last shield, i got it one try in the lower tunnel and that's when the boss died.Ĭan't say i got to enjoy it that much, went to continue on with Havoc after that,īut that shit just got me even more mad and ended up fracturing my wrist while punching a hole in the wall.īack now with Frost mage and well gave up after 30 something attempts until i break something else. I just went on try after try until shit lined up and it died. But doing what I can to stay fresh and branch out.I eventually completed it on that same day. But I did really care about my main, and not having it really did tear at me. Luckily I've never been a completionist and didn't feel the need to do everything on every character. On the other, I did a loose "in my head" RP and this Druid was still a student until the burning of Teldrassil, which prompted him to set out and level up. On one hand, I don't have the Druid Mage Tower skins. I had tons of fun with Demon Hunter in Legion but didn't want to play because I didn't want people to think I was a noob.īut if I was going to quit anyway, who cares?Īlso leveling a Druid on the Alliance side. Really getting into the Zandalar quest lines. So far it has made the game a lot more enjoyable. not to mention all the plain horse mounts. I also used the opportunity to switch factions (to Horde) because Kul Tiras didn't really grab me. At one point my DH even had a higher honor level than my main just because it felt so FUN and fluid in the game. So I decided to play a character I had naturally started to feel more comfortable on: Demon Hunter (I know, noob bait). I realized that if I had really wanted it, I could have easily gotten it, but my desire to play was so low I just felt unmotivated. The whole "living in a basement crypt" had me turned off from day one. But the artifact system in general never appealed to me (and Ret's was frustrating during the start of the xpac with having to save AP then re-spend), not to mention seeing a thousand and one paladins all wearing the same Ashbringer. Ashbringer was cool and the mage tower skin is, imho, one of the best ones. The class fantasy had started to lose me. Always bringing up the rear in getting to the boss or chasing after the flag, or getting kited and swarmed down in a circle of jeering Horde. The overall mobility was very frustrating to me in both PVE and PVP. Then I realized I did care as soon as I found out they were unobtainable.īut when I REALLY thought about it, I realized my motivation to play my main (paladin) had been going down over the months. Took a break over the summer to get some personal stuff and thought I wouldn't care about the skins.
“And that’s what we’re doing right now, playing football.” And so we felt like the only way to shut people up is to go out there and play football and let you guys sit and watch and talk,” Hughes said. “There was a lot of disrespect coming toward our defense. It was a game in which the Patriots attempted just three passes while trampling Buffalo’s defense with 222 yards rushing to counter wind gusts of 30-plus mph. In defeating the Patriots for the second time in three weeks, Hughes noted he was motivated by how reporters specifically questioned safeties Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde as being embarrassed following a 14-10 loss on Dec. Meanwhile, Hughes was part of a defense that ended Mac Jones’ rookie season by intercepting him twice, sacking him three times and limiting him to throwing two mean-nothing touchdown passes in the second half with the game well out of reach. Josh Allen set a team playoff record with five touchdown passes, including two to Dawson Knox, and Devin Singletary ran for two scores in the first half of a 47-17 throttling of the division-rival Patriots in a wild-card playoff game. On Saturday night, the Bills did something about it by erasing any doubt of who now rules the AFC East. The lingering sting of being embarrassed on home turf by the New England Patriots didn’t sit well with defensive end Jerry Hughes and the Buffalo Bills. Buffalo (7-5) travels to Tampa Bay to face the Buccaneers next week.Allen-led Bills throttle division rival Patriots, 47-17 The Patriots (9-4) have a bye in Week 14. Patriots cornerback Myles Bryant made a superb play to leave his coverage and get into the passing lane to knock down Allen’s end zone throw to Davis and effectively clinch the win for New England. A missed field goal by Tyler Bass in the second half also held Buffalo back, as it forced the Bills to go for a touchdown on fourth down on their last drive rather than being able to try a field goal to put them ahead. That was a pivotal play, as it kept the Bills off pace on the scoreboard when they went for one following a first quarter touchdown pass from Josh Allen to Gabriel Davis. The Patriots went for two on the conversion and made it on a successful run by Brandon Bolden to go up 8-0. The three passes were the second fewest by a team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger (only the 1974 Bills had fewer, as they posted two in a win over the Jets that season).ĭamien Harris led the game with 111 rushing yards on only 10 carries, with the most impactful of those being a 64-yard scoring play in the first quarter. New England ran the ball 46 times and threw only three passes to avoid gusting winds that made putting the ball in the air a dangerous and unpredictable challenge. The Patriots used one of the most run-heavy game plans in modern NFL history to grind out a 14-10 win over Buffalo in the Week 13 Monday night matchup. Run PM2 and start the apps by using the ecosystem configuration.I recommend naming each app something useful that matches the app’s directory name. Make sure they all have different PORT values.

Having a dedicated web server like IIS fielding your HTTP requests makes things more manageable and enables standard web server features like SSL termination, compression, and load balancing. Together with a process manager like PM2, it’s a viable strategy to run apps for production. You can run Node.js apps on Windows with the added layer of a reverse-proxy with the built-in web service manager IIS.

You’ll also need a fine-tip Sharpie pen to write an interesting question on each block. So, if you would like to create your own version of Truth and Jenga, buy a set at your local toy store. Sharing personal information with receptive listeners increases psychological safety, an essential condition that helps people feel like they belong and can trust each another. We know from neuroscience that laughter triggers the release of endorphins which are the brain chemical associated with social bonds. The only instruction I gave was, “Be curious.” * Team members got to practice their listening skills in an informal setting, acknowledging what they’d heard and asking follow up questions. In other words, the questions launched a deeper inquiry about one another. * Team members’ answers to simple questions often led to conversations about values, and personal identity. Here’s what I noticed during the course of what the team came to call the “Truth and Jenga” game: It’s a game of escalating risk and calculated choices! In the spirit of playful familiarity, I thought to myself, what would happen if, after removing a block successfully you had to answer a question written on the block? Take 60 rectangular wooden blocks, stack them into a tower, and then take turns removing one block at a time without causing the tower to collapse. Jenga is just about the simplest game you can imagine. When people feel seen and understood, and have fun together, work becomes a more human place. The second goal was to play and laugh together. The first goal was to help them learn about one another beyond their public resumes and job descriptions. Recently, I was planning an offsite retreat for a team with a significant number of new members who didn’t know each other very well. I used a file to clean up any jaggies left over from my jigsaw and to square the holes up. The hardest part of making your own coin door is getting the holes to be square. Will these stay put if I hot glue them into place? You will have to get on your hands and knees to be able to see them so looks are not too important. Inside the coin return holes, I am going to put usb plugins using usb extension cables. If I was to do the coin door again, I would not have made the corners so round. I need a new router bit though as mine is getting dull and scorched the wood in a few places. The coin door is coming along quite good I think. I printed up the marquee at work on a color laser printer and installed it to see how it looked, not too bad for a paper marquee. I started work on the keybord encoder from a keyboard I picked up from the goodwill, I'm going hardcore on this one (plus I'm kind of on a tight budget). I got a hole cut in the top for the exaust fan. Someone once said the devil is in the details and I have to say that the farther along on this project I get, the more messy and disorganized my garage gets and the harder it is to find the tools I need, so progress is slow. I also picked up some Midway 25 cent coin door inserts from thisoldgame. I received the marquee retainer from Ebay(TornadoTerrys was out), pushbuttons (from TornadoTerrys) and tmolding () last week. I'm planning on printing the bezel and sandwiching it between 2 pieces of tempered glass. Any tips with working with bezels? On my first cab I elected to use graylite #14 smoked glass and I did not use a bezel at all. Do you think it looks too busy? What can I do to make it better? I have 18.5" wide by 15" tall with about a 2" thick border. If anyone wants the large version, pm me and I'll email it to you. It is almost the same as JamieMcShan's except for the button layout. My son who is only 5 likes playing some of the fighter games like marvell vs capcom, otherwise I would have stuck with the traditional vertical layout and only stuck with classic games. I'm also going with a horizontal layout so I can get the most bang for the buck in terms of games that can be played on it. My cab will be using a 6 button layout unlike the 2 or 3 buttons I see on most minis. In fact most of the graphics will be based mostly on his and I'm planning on building a mini coin door like the one he built and hopefully I'll be using the Midway label he created for his coin door. This cab is inspired by (well Pacman, duh!) the mini cab featured in Saint's book, which helped a lot on my first cab BTW, and by this post by JamieMcShan.
