Similar to the days of yore when I hastened to remedy my initial ignorance of the meaning of NSFW, MCM, WCW, TBT (Nobody shaves for Wendy! Man, cougar, mammoth, woman, cannibal, wallaby-try and be tested!) and the like, I finally buckled. My personal favorite.)ĭespite my efforts, none of these sounded particularly plausible. I then endeavored to fill in the blanks of an acronym that did not exist.īatting All Eyelashes? (Action to accompany each declaration of love?) Brave As (An) Eagle? (Continued American pride in honor of our World Cup performance?) Born After Egalitarianism? (Everybody's got a right to love.) Bacon And Eggs? (Doesn't really make sense, but simultaneously makes tons of sense. Next, in one of my less than proud moments, I thought it might be a new shorthand way of calling someone-affectionately (insofar as a once demeaning term can become affectionate)-a bitch. Maybe this was another way to show she was ruling the world, by adding a letter to her nickname and subtly dropping this into 20 percent of America's texts from boyfriend to girlfriend, full-on NSA style? She is known for her impressive musical riffs, epic hair flips, and power struts, among other things, so this offered a reasonable progression, in my eyes. When I first saw the word "bae," I assumed, tragically and incorrectly, that it was yet another derivative of Beyoncé. What is this? And why does everyone seem to know about it but me? One day, like you, receding into the depths of the Facebooks and Twitters, I began to see sporadic "I love you bae" and "#BaeBeLike" and "Thanks Bae" and "#BAEcation" messages. I embarked on a small informational quest to find out just why all the kids are calling their kid boyfriends and girlfriends "bae," and I'm still not sure if I know. Really, even the dictionary isn't sure where to go from here. ![]() "Come Get It, Bae" is here to trample your ears at your next barbecue, even though nobody really knows what "bae" is or where "bae" came from. Here it is, the dawn of "bae," word of indiscriminate origin and now 1/4 of the title in the new Pharrell and Miley Cyrus music video. ![]() They performed at a couple of festival shows as Hanoi Revisted, performing a red-hot set of Hanoi classics to rabid and ecstatic audiences. In the summer of 2001, Michael and Andy wound up playing together live for the first time in 16 years.

The band flew to New York to record Two Steps From the Move with producer Bob Ezrin (Alice Cooper, Kiss, Pink Floyd). Based off of the success of the band’s tours and album sales in Europe and Asia, CBS records offered the band a worldwide recording contract. The show was recorded and later released as a live record in 1984 titled All Those Wasted Years. The album made it to # 87 on the British charts and on the success of the record, Hanoi Rocks performed a sold-out gig at the Marquee Club. Once back home from their successful takeover of the Far East, the band recorded Back To Mystery City. During the 1983 Far East tour, an album of b-sides, singles, and out takes was released titled Self Destruction Blues. Every gig sold out, and diehards followed the band from city to city and venue to venue. In Japan, Hanoi Rocks success was even bigger. Hanoi Rocks mania reached a fever pitch when, after a show in Bombay, rabid fans caused a riot with local police because they would not leave the venue!

Hanoi Rocks no doubt pioneered a sound that in turn inspired bands such as M tley Cr e and Guns N Roses (who later re-released the band’s earlier recordings on their own Uzi Suicide label through Geffen Records) to become household names and platinum-selling artists. Following in the footsteps of such glam godfathers as The New York Dolls, Dead Boys, The Stooges, and Kiss, Hanoi Rocks adopted the glam look and the one-foot-in-the-gutter-reaching-for-the-gold lifestyle that would become so commonplace on L.A.’s Sunset Strip only a few short years after their break up. ![]() In short, true rock n roll is back with a vengeance.ĭuring the first half of the glorious 80s, Finland’s Hanoi Rocks reached worldwide fame behind five studio albums, a double live record, and countless greatest hits compilations.

It simply requires a slightly different approach.Įither way, the betting session starts with players keeping track of each dealt card that appears on the table. Card counting can be just as effective in shoe games as it is in single-deck blackjack. ![]() Luckily for card counters worldwide, there is not even an ounce of truth in this statement. When the autistic character of Dustin Hoffman crushes the blackjack tables at Caesars Palace through counting, one of the members of the casino’s surveillance team exclaims no person in the world could possibly “count into a six-deck shoe”. The infamous scene from the Academy Award-winning motion picture Rain Man serves as a classic example.

Is It Possible to Count Multiple Decks in Blackjack?Ĭard counting is veiled in myths and misconceptions, which result largely from the way this advanced method is portrayed in media and movies.

Card counting first gained notoriety in the early 1960s after the publication of Edward Thorp’s bestseller Beat the Dealer. With the mosaic file, we only need to filter and transform the image once. If we edited each file seperately, we would have to go through the same filters and transformations for each file. The real benefit arises when we need to apply the filters and transformations. This allows us to draw in the blades, something you need to do for each frame anyway, in one image file. This file is a mosaic of all the original video frames, with a black border between each image. The big timesaver with my script is the creation of the mosaic image file. You might want to go read that before reading the rest of this page, to get familiar with the overall process. The guide that I follow, that I found a long time ago, is written by Darel Finley, and is hosted at. The longest and most tedious part of the rotoscoping process, besides identifying the blades and drawing them in each frame, is the series of image-editor transformations you need to apply to get the characteristic glow. It's fairly tedious, to draw in the lightsaber blades every frame, but I have created a pair of Python scripts to help improve this process. ![]() This is how they did the lightsaber effects in the original Star Wars movies. The term Rotoscoping means editing a video clip frame by frame, and tracing or applying some other effect to each frame in turn. Wooden dowels (0.5" diameter) were used in these videos, and are recommended for pretend fighting, as they will certainly break before your skull does, if you accidentally get hit. ![]() It involves recording a video of your friends pretending to have a lightsaber fight, using some sort of lightsaber prop, and then editing the individual frames to add the lightsaber glow.

Tello said the lab didn’t perform any studies on Oliver during his decade there because the staff could tell he was special: ‘He was just on a different level he had very humanlike traits.It was claimed - and later disproved - that Oliver the chimpanzee was a human-chimp hybrid. The subject of a Discovery Channel documentary in 2006, Oliver came to the sanctuary after being relocated from a research lab in Pennsylvania. His exact age was not known because he was pulled from the wild in the Congo by two animal trainers as a youngster, Tello said. Oliver, who walked upright almost all of the time, was believed to be at least 55 years old. Tello told the San Antonio Express-News that Oliver’s girlfriend, Raisin, was by his side when caretakers found him. He said Oliver will be cremated and his ashes will be spread near where the chimps live on the sanctuary. Tello told The Associated Press the sanctuary plans a private memorial later in the week.

Whatever your musical influences, find both button and piano accordions from Hohner, including new and used Anacleto, Panther, Compadre and Corona models for sale. Chromatic accordions: More common in Europe than in North America, the chromatic accordion is a larger-sized instrument featuring a unisonic buttonboard or piano keys.You'll typically hear diatonic accordions in rock, pop and folk music styles. Pushing or pulling the bellows allows you to access both pitches. Diatonic accordions: This small accordion instrument assigns two notes to every button.Types of AccordionsĪlthough all accordions operate in a similar fashion, multiple types are available across the globe: Diatonic button accordions offer bisonoric capabilities, while piano and chromatic button accordions are nearly always unisonic. A unisonic accordion, meanwhile, generates the same pitch in both directions. Within this arrangement, an accordion instrument may be bisonoric, in which the pitches change when the bellows move. Using the keys or buttons causes air to flow across and vibrate the reeds, which then create the notes as the player moves the bellows. The right-hand side is usually reserved for the melody, while the harmony or accompanying bassline is played on the left. Keys or buttons exist on each side of the wooden boxes. On both sides of the bellows are wooden boxes, which house the reed chambers and vents or grills needed to transmit the sound and control airflow. At the same time, pressing the buttons or keys generates individual notes, but unlike with a piano, the player can't use these features to control the dynamics. To make a sound, the player compresses or widens the bellows, and the loudness and timbre come from this movement. The pace at which the player moves the bellows controls the sound, with buttons or a keyboard on the sides for creating pitches.
