Winning time cookie johnson12/9/2023 ![]() He'll hound you everywhere you go, both ends of the court. Standing at 6-foot-4, Moncrief was known for having a spring in his legs and he won the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award in 19.īasketball icon Michael Jordan once told the Los Angeles Times, "When you play against Moncrief, you're in for a night of all-around basketball. He played 10 of his 11 NBA seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks and was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2019. The NBA described Moncrief as "one of the top players of the 1980s". Moncrief was thought to have been West's preferred pick over Johnson, as according to Showtime, West just "wasn't fully convinced" that a 6"9' player could thrive as a point guard. With five All-Star selections and four-time All-NBA selections to his name, Haywood would have likely made a good addition to the Lakers. Haywood joined the NBA in the early 1970s and by 1974-1975 he and Seattle SuperSonics coach Bill Russel made history when SuperSonics reached the playoffs for the first time in the team's history. He led the ABA in both scoring and rebounding during that time too. However Haywood, now a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame, was too expensive to sign.Īs a rookie in 1969-1970, he was named the American Basketball Association's Most Valuable Player and Rookie of the Year. West's intentions were to swap the #1 draft pick for the #5 pick and Spencer Haywood. The entire season was screened for review. While Season Two of Winning Time is much improved, it pulls up just short of making a run. These are the players West hoped to sign over Johnson, according to the HBO television series. The chance of a third season studying that rivalry offers real anticipation even as its withdrawal undercuts this second installment’s prospects. West went on to add: "He smiles too much." The Lakers executive had desires of having a "solid four" to lead the team but Johnson did not meet his requirements. In episode two of Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty, West is vocal about not wanting to draft Johnson and during a golf course scene he exclaimed: "You really wanna know what's wrong with Johnson? One thing: he's too tall." Winning Time feels more like watching a bunch of middle schoolers trying to fling no-look passes and ill-fated lobs to each other at recess, the occasional moments of connection overwhelmed by a general atmosphere of chaos.Read more How 'Winning Time' Creators Made the Show Look Just Like an '80s VHS Who Did Jerry West Want To Draft Over Magic Johnson? They were ridiculously controlled, and their thrilling, up-tempo style was only possible because the players enacting it-starting with Magic Johnson-were preternaturally intelligent and disciplined in execution. There’s a restless, frantic quality to the show that seems to want to pay tribute to the run-and-gun style of the Showtime Lakers themselves, but those teams weren’t great because they were a bunch of devil-may-care loose cannons. Their on-again, off-again love story will. before he was Magic a basketball superstar. Winning Time is so captivated with its own style that it misapprehends what made its subject exciting in the first place.

Benriner mandoline12/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Turning your oven light on (but not the oven) is another great way to provide warmth for your fermenting products. If you have a boiler, your airing cupboard is a great place for fermentation and bread proofing. Those of us living in colder areas may have to get creative or just be a little patient. Your room temperature plays a big part in the fermentation process. See the comparison picture below, of homemade taucheo and the shop bought one. As it continues to ferment, the beans will get a little darker, softer and break up slightly, as they do in shop bought jars. At this stage, I transfer it to the fridge, where it will continue to ferment at a very slow rate. Stir, cover and leave on your kitchen counter for 5 days to allow it to ferment further.Top with the soaking liquid, soy sauce and a tiny amount of sugar. Transfer them into a sterilized jar (I’m using a fermentation jar).W rap them up in muslin or cheesecloth and leave them to ferment for about 5 days somewhere warm or at least where it’s not cold, until they are covered in a light layer of white mould.Cook them until they are soft and mashable.But letting it ferment longer deepens the flavour. You only need about 10 days before you can start using it. And soya beans (or soybeans) are easily found at health food stores, and most certainly online. If you really, really can’t get it where you are, the good news is that it’s easily made at home. I have a pretty big Korean supermarket within walking distance to me, and am pretty happy using the Korean version, when the little Chinese shop doesn’t have any in stock. The Chinese and Korean ones however, are sold in paste form. To use, we simply mash them with a fork or add to the ingredients meant to be ground to a paste. The taucheo that is commonly sold and used in Singapore and Malaysia varies slightly the Chinese and Korean ones, in that the soy beans are left whole. ![]() in Korean, the paste is called doenjang.in China, where it originates, it’s called huáng jiàng.It’s found in various guises in all over East and South east Asia. eo – this is the same vowel sound as in Rio (some people, especially Indonesians, would also make the sound oh (silent h).Tau – the ow is the same vowel sound as in HOW.We hope you enjoy them as much as we do.Taucheo is salted, fermented soybeans, and used as an ingredient to add depth and an earthy saltiness to dishes. They can be washed in a washing machine with cold water and a delicate setting, but should always be air dried (never use the dryer for them).įukin work well for a wide variety of tasks, but are especially good at drying things like glassware, due to their absorbent nature. Following the soaking, rinse the fukin and air dry them. This initial soaking removes some of the natural glue used to hold the fibers together, helps soften the fukin, and prepares it for initial use. When preparing to use these for the first time, they should be soaked in hot water until the water runs clear. It also changes the texture of the fukin, making it ideal for wiping off hard smudge/fingerprint prone items like glassware and lacqured items. This type of Fukin contains 15% hemp, which increases toughness and durablity. These are some of our favorite towels, both in the kitchen and around the house. Over time, with proper care, they become even softer. They are extremely soft and absorbent, and therefore make great dish towels. Fukin are a type of Japanese towel made from "kaya", or a style of mosquito netting.

Superliminal game walkthrough12/8/2023 ![]() ![]() Puzzles are built up cleverly without being overly repetitive or tiresome, and you are given the time you need to work out what you have to do for yourself without a hint flashing up or a condescending voice mocking you as you sit in your pants wondering what to do next. The game itself doesn’t hold your hand and hit you over the head with solutions. One, in particular, had me scratching my head, but when I finally cracked it the sense of accomplishment was up there with some of the best puzzle experiences I have had in gaming. Although having said that there are a few rooms that do test your patience. Superliminal has a pretty decent learning curve and it introduces the puzzles in such a way that, although challenging, they never feel stupidly so, and the environment is interesting enough to keep you exploring whenever you get stuck. The whole idea is so simple but works beautifully in its execution. By picking up objects and then positioning them in your field of view so that they either look larger or smaller, you can drop the object for it to take on these new properties that you can then use to access areas that were once out of reach. Using perspective and some clever physics, you have to use a simple but ingenious idea of finding and enlarging objects to escape the many rooms you find yourself in. As you delve deeper, exploring what is essentially your character’s dream, things do take a turn and the game does have fun messing with your head and using various stereotypes about dreaming to do so.Įarly on it is clear that there is something very much akin to Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland about Superliminal, in that things that were big can be small, and small things can be big, just like when Alice experiments with those psychedelic mushrooms after being led astray by that overly happy cat. By placing the game in a dream, developers Pillow Castle have come up with a pretty handy way of explaining the surreal environments you find yourself in, and the puzzles you are faced with in Superliminal are original and challenging. ![]() Superliminal starts as you would imagine – with things going belly up pretty quickly. Superliminal is an example of one done well, and although it doesn’t reach the lofty heights of some of its predecessors in the genre, it is a fun and original entry just the same. As a narrative framing device, it is a tried and tested way of piecing together the various puzzle rooms you encounter as you make your ways from one room to the next, and by now, the whole idea of a science experiment gone wrong as a way to explain why you have to escape a series of interconnected rooms is pretty much a genre all on its own, but for the simple reason that when they are done well, they work. You play a nameless research subject, taking part in an experiment looking at dream research. The premise is one we have seen plenty of times before by this point. Superliminal is an interesting and original puzzle game that uses the environment and the idea of perception to create some genuinely clever puzzles.

Tiktok sounds not working12/8/2023 ![]() Effects Make your video unique by adding effects.Įffects are where TikTok shines. Tapping Edit returns you to the screen where you choose your font, color, and size.Ħ. A box-outline will pop up around the text and offer two options: Set Duration and Edit.Ĭhoosing Set Duration allows you to pick time and length, as mentioned before. Once you’ve entered your words, you can choose where they appear and how long they appear on the screen. If you’re familiar with Instagram’s fonts, TikTok’s will feel familiar. You also have the option for “speech to text” that dictates what you say into your phone’s microphone. Setting the orientation for the text is available, too, so choosing left-oriented or right-oriented will help you frame up the text in a visually appealing and consistent way. You’ll have the option to choose the font, color, and size of your words. To add text or a title to your video, hit Text at the bottom. Working with Text Adding text to your video is easy. Just make sure you replay the clip over and over to ensure you’re getting the desired result, and tweak accordingly.ĥ. The app’s transitions are perfect for transformations and reveals. To place a transition, just tap on your timeline-the effect will be added to that spot. Find the ones you like, and figure out how you want to use them. Once you’ve recorded or uploaded the clips you want to use, go down to Effects, look toward the bottom, and choose Transition. Like with other audio you add, you can edit your sound clip audio to start whenever you need it to and play with the volume. You’ll see this when you’re recording the video. To add your own recorded sound effect, hit Voice-Over on the right side of the screen. To search for sound effects in the Sounds library, enter a descriptive word (boom, bang, splat, for instance), plus the words “sound effect.” Under Sounds, you can search for sound effects or add one of your own. Sound Effects Search for sound effects or add your own. Original sound refers to in-camera audio and voiceovers.ģ. Added sound refers to the music you chose. You’ll see two sliders, one labeled Original sound, and one labeled Added sound. To do this, just hit the arrow on the side to bring up more options and choose Volume. TikTok lets you lower the volume of the camera’s audio while raising the music (and vice versa). With all of this audio stuff in mind, I feel like one of the handiest features of TikTok is how it lets you work with multiple audio layers in a video.įor instance, you have your recorded clip with in-camera audio, music, sound effects, and anything else you’ve added. Choose the music and sync it with your video. Of course, you can always edit in other apps, add whatever you want, and then upload to TikTok. (We’ll take a closer look at sound effects in a moment.)Ĭurrently, you can only add one song per video inside the app. Once you’ve picked a song, you can choose where you want it to start and play it as you record to better sync your shots with it.Īdditionally, you can add a voiceover and sound effects. Right off the bat, look at the top of your screen for Sounds, and tap it to look through the music. Now, it’s time to start adding sounds, effects, and titles! Just hold down on the clip you want to move, drag it to the right spot, and hit Save. Each clip has a tiny number over it that reveals its length, and you can move them around on your timeline as you see fit. To start editing your footage, go to Adjust Clips on the right side of your screen and pick the clips you want to tweak. Here’s Rachel Pederson going over all the essential functions of TikTok and explaining what to do once you’ve recorded a video. Once you’ve recorded all your clips, you can still go in and edit them further. You can hit the red Record button once and let it roll, or hold and release to record a specific length. You can start and stop recording as you go, and the app automatically adds clips to your timeline as you shoot them. Like Vine back in the day, with TikTok, you edit your video while you shoot. So, let’s take a look at what you can expect to see, learn how to get the most out of the app’s features and effects, and explore what to do with your videos once you’ve shot them. ![]() So, how does TikTok work? What’s the interface like once you’ve downloaded the app and recorded your first video? After a few years of updates, we’ve tried to come back into this article to keep all the information as up-to-date as possible.
