![]() Corey Nickols/Getty ImagesĪmy, how did it feel returning to the world of Enchanted and reconnecting with Patrick Dempsey, James Marsden, Idina Menzel, and everyone from the first film?Īmy: I was so grateful that we were able to get them all to find time in their schedules to come do this, especially during COVID. L-R: Patrick Dempsey, Maya Rudolph, Amy Adams, Gabriella Baldacchino, Idina Menzel, and James Marsden. Just that in and of itself was very dreamy. There’s something else that happens behind her eyes, her body moves differently. Like when little girls are talking to a princess at Disneyland. I knew that Amy was doing it for me, but I felt like a kid. I went to go say hello to her in the makeup room and Giselle was talking to me. I already knew Amy, but one of the first days on set, she was dressed in character as Giselle. You always wish for moments in life where you could play with these characters that you fell in love with, but I actually got invited to play with these characters that I fell in love with. Maya: Plugging into something that was already so exciting and so well-established was…kind of like a fantasy. Maya, what was it like entering the world of Enchanted as a newcomer to the franchise? I’ve seen it since by Disney and in some animated things and it’s hilarious, but I feel like this was the first time where we were all in on the fact that it was meta. Maya: It really, truly was the introduction to meta in the universe of Disney, in my opinion. This time, however, she must face herself.īelow, Amy Adams and Maya Rudolph open up to Glamour about transforming (literally) into Disney villains, singing together on screen, and why the timing couldn’t be more perfect to return to the world of Enchanted.Īmy: Exactly! It was so fun to do and be a part of. Similar to the first film, Giselle’s journey culminates in an epic ballroom battle between good and evil. However, the spell backfires when her longing for a fairy-tale life morphs the entire town into a trope-filled storybook village complete with evil queens and fierce dragons, while Giselle slowly transforms into a wicked stepmother. Struggling to adapt to suburbia, Giselle makes a wish on a magic wand from Andalasia. Unfortunately, the nonstop construction zone that is the family’s new fixer-upper, plus a less-than-welcoming run-in with the local queen bee, Malvina (Rudolph), throttles the usually optimistic Giselle into further disillusionment. Having outgrown their fast-paced life in the city, the couple, along with their baby Sophia and Robert’s now teenage daughter Morgan, move to the quaint suburban town of Monroeville in search of a newer, happier ever after. In Disenchanted, it’s been 10 years since Giselle and Robert fell in love. Joan Bergin’s costumes are also a highlight.If Enchanted was, at its heart, a fish-out-of-water fairy tale, the theme of its 2022 follow-up is “be careful what you wish for.” Dempsey is again the straight man in all these shenanigans, but his new image as a silver fox makes him a nice bit of eye candy. ![]() Many of “Enchanted”’s characters return, including Giselle’s friend, Pip the chipmunk, who narrates the film and gets a nasty surprise when he suddenly morphs into a more suitable pet for an evil stepmother. How much you enjoy yourself depends on whether you’re a fan of the original, or of Amy Adams. The highlight of “Disenchanted” is a villainous song duet, a battle of the divas performed by Adams and Rudolph who accurately point out that two evil queens is one too many. The songs aren’t as good as they were in “Enchanted,” but the cast still does a great job singing them. Watching Adams switch from nice Giselle to evil stepmother in the same scene is a lot of fun she does an excellent job of maintaining comedic balance. Unfortunately, she forgets she’s Morgan’s stepmother - and that relative is always the villain in these stories. In an attempt to make Morgan happy with her new hometown, Giselle uses the wand to turn Monroeville into a fairytale setting. When King Edward (James Marsden) and Queen Nancy (Idina Menzel) pay Giselle a visit, they bring her a magic wand.

I highly recommend laminating printables for the Snowy Day hunt or any other hunt that is near water. This method will help with water resistance. If laminating, I suggest to print on cardstock, cut out the magnifying glass, run the cut out magnifying glass through the laminator, and cut out one more time. The lamination at school will probably be too thin to make them waterproof, but will help with durability! I use my laminator at home with thick lamination pouches, which makes them mostly waterproof. You can also cross off items you find with a dry erase marker on laminated scavenger sheets! I also suggest laminating to use them over and over again. These nature activities are very easy to prepare and use! These should be printed on cardstock to make a sturdier magnifying glass.

Anthony stated that to him and his car club, their traditional hot rods were lacking certain elements like paint and/or upholstery, and were similar to rat bikes of their time period, thus the name Rat Rods. In the early 1990s, Anthony Casteneda thought of the word when they were interviewed in a Rod & Custom magazine article. The origin of the term "rat rod" is the subject of dispute, but was definitely coined by one specific person in the Shifters So. Due to the beater's cheap upholstery, primer covering (instead of paint), and lack of chrome or polished metals, it has been considered a progenitor of the rat rod. The December 1972 issue of Rod & Custom Magazine was dedicated to the "beater", a low-budget alternative to the early car models that were slick and customized. Origins 1932 Ford coupe rat rod in Sheffield, Vermont. ![]() Few cars in the '50s looked like this, but today they can, in countless creative and fun ways. The customs can have slit windows and scrape the ground. with giant rear tires, lots of carburetors, open pipes, and tall gearshifts. They're artistic, fun, and sensational reinterpretations of late-'40s/early-'50s hot rodding as a culture that includes music, clothing, hairstyles, and tattoos. Second are what I personally call Rat Rods, as a positive term. Those are cars built the way rods were built in the '30s, '40s, and early '50s, with a primary emphasis on low-buck and home-built, using period-correct components ranging from flathead to nailhead engines, wide whitewall tires to skinny blackwall bias-plies, and black primer to hand-rubbed paint. I see what are referred to as Rat Rods today comprising three elements: First are the traditional rods and customs. Rodding scribe Pat Ganahl took a broad look at the rat rod trend and had this to say: Recently, using the term "rat rod" has been derided as being incorrect when describing any vehicle that appears unfinished or is built simply to be driven. The owner of the vehicle was typically responsible for most, or all, of the work present in the vehicle. Later-era post-war vehicles were rarely constructed without fenders and were often customized in the fashion of kustoms, leadsleds, and lowriders Maltese crosses, skulls, and other accessories were often added. The bodies are frequently channeled over the frame and sectioned, or the roofs are chopped, for a lower profile. Many early (pre- World War II) vehicles were not built with fenders, hoods, running boards, and bumpers. The typical rat rod is a late-1920s through to late-1950s coupe or roadster, but sometimes a truck or sedan. Biker, greaser, rockabilly, psychobilly, and punk sub-cultures are often cited as influences that shaped rat rodding. Rat rods are meant to loosely imitate, in both form and function, the "traditional" hot rods of the era. The rat rod's inception signified a throwback to the hot rods of the earlier days of hot-rod culture-built according to the owner's abilities and with the intention of being driven. Originally, rat rods were a counter-reaction to the high-priced "customs" and typical hot rods, many of which were seldom driven and served only a decorative purpose. The term has also been applied to a style of hot rod or custom car that broadly imitates or exaggerates the early hot rods of the mid-twentieth century, unlike the "traditional" hot rod, which is one built at that time or a close re-creation of one of such. Whether or not so appointed, the rat rod uniquely conveys its builder’s imagination. These parts can include non-automotive items that have been repurposed, such as a rifle used as a gear shifter, wrenches as door handles, or hand saws as sun visors. Style of vehicle customization An example of a rat rod Ford rat rodĪ rat rod, as usually known today, is a custom car with a deliberately worn-down, unfinished appearance, typically lacking paint, showing rust, and made from cheap or cast-off parts.

If you wanna be one of those players, check out the minecraft forum on. It's the one thing they have in common with all the builders I get to prod with questions too - it's the players that make Minecraft, no matter how you play it, fun. One thing everyone agreed on was that the community is awesome. If this sounds like your jam, give it a try. “Find new strategies, try new things, and if you get a world record along the way, great!” “Find a category you like and just do it,” Admiral continues.

For speedrunning, we use a specific seed, or set seed, so we can play in the most ideal world and achieve consistent results.” For example, if you use the seed 8128 you will get the same world every time. It’s always best to put splits at recognizable times in the speedrun where you have downtime. ![]() With your splits set up, it will build up the habit of splitting at specific times in the run.

Listening to constant, relatively unchanging music-songs that don't have a lot of emotional peaks and valleys or changes in mood-has been shown to enhance some simple cognitive skills. When it comes to music at work, you don't want your brain to spend cognitive resources predicting what it's about to hear. Your brain is a prediction machine, making an endless series of guesses about what's going to happen next. If you simply can't find music without lyrics, you can pick something in a language that you don't understand-like the invented "hopelandic" language used by the band Sigur Rós: …and has a steady rhythm and mood. Your brain's language centres can't help but decipher the words you're hearing, which makes it much harder to concentrate on, say, composing an email. This makes intuitive sense to anyone who has listened to music at work, especially if your task is word-related. For a cognitive boost, pick music that doesn't have lyrics… ![]() The trick is to choose your music carefully and match your tunes to the task. It's also useful to drown out distracting background noises. The upside is it can make you feel more energetic and improve your mood. The downside of listening to music at work is that it places demands on your attention. And just try putting numbers into a spreadsheet while listening to this: Studies have shown that reading comprehension and memorization both suffer when music is playing, for example. ![]() ![]() In MY experience? Headphones and music are my go-to for getting things done-and keeping my mind in check during busy times. With that in mind, you can't blame anyone for looking at alternative methods to relax and focus beyond a simple diet and exercise.

Using a WAN, schools in Florida can communicate with places like Tokyo in a matter of seconds, without paying enormous phone bills. Dedicated transoceanic cabling or satellite uplinks may be used to connect this type of global network. Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect networks in larger geographic areas, such as Florida, the United States, or the world. See the Topology, Cabling, and Hardware sections of this tutorial for more information on the configuration of a LAN. Workstations which are stationary (desktops) are also usually connected by a cable to the network, although the cost of wireless adapters has dropped to the point that, when installing workstations in an existing facility with inadequate wiring, it can be easier and less expensive to use wireless for a desktop. Nearly always servers will be connected by cables to the network, because the cable connections remain the fastest. A typical WAP might have the theoretical capacity to connect hundreds or even thousands of wireless users to a network, although practical capacity might be far less. These WAP devices provide a bridge between computers and networks. Wireless access to a wired network is made possible by wireless access points (WAPs). On a single LAN, computers and servers may be connected by cables or wirelessly. Every computer on a network should be appropriately configured for its use. On the other hand, a workstation might not need as much storage or working memory, but might require an expensive display to accommodate the needs of its user. However, the size and speed of the server's processor(s), hard drive, and main memory might add dramatically to the cost of the system. In such cases, it would be common for the servers to operate without a dedicated display or keyboard. For example, a group of servers might be located in a secure area, away from humans, and only accessed through the network. Servers tend to be more powerful than workstations, although configurations are guided by needs. With the advent of the tablet computer, and the touch screen devices such as iPad and iPhone, our definition of workstation is quickly evolving to include those devices, because of their ability to interact with the network and utilize network services. Workstations were traditionally considered a desktop, consisting of a computer, keyboard, display, and mouse, or a laptop, with with integrated keyboard, display, and touchpad. Workstations are called such because they typically do have a human user which interacts with the network through them. Services provided can include printing and faxing, software hosting, file storage and sharing, messaging, data storage and retrieval, complete access control (security) for the network's resources, and many others. ![]() Servers are generally not used by humans directly, but rather run continuously to provide "services" to the other computers (and their human users) on the network. It is generally limited to a geographic area such as a writing lab, school, or building.Ĭomputers connected to a network are broadly categorized as servers or workstations. You may also see references to a Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN), a Wireless LAN (WLAN), or a Wireless WAN (WWAN).Ī Local Area Network (LAN) is a network that is confined to a relatively small area. Two very common types of networks include: The computers on a network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light beams. A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. ![]() Learn more about the different types of roofs below. Knowing the different types of roofs gives you more than bragging rights during walks around the neighborhood. Each category has unique properties that may appeal to you. According to, the color and type of roofing material impact how well your roof absorbs and repels heat and cold. Gable RoofĪ gable refers to a triangular area formed where two pitched sections meet. This is a popular type of roof that sheds water well and aids ventilation at the two open ends. It’s also flexible and easy to build, making it suitable for most home layouts. This style is harder to build than a gable roof and has no open ends to allow for ventilation. It’s still a popular choice due to its stronger properties, which suit areas with high winds. Dutchĭutch roofs are more complicated to build than hip or gable styles. They consist of four sloping sides topped by a gable at each end. The result offers easier access to the lower portion of the roof, with the added benefits of natural light and extra space. This French design features two slopes on each side. This bottom section of the roof is steeper, with the pitch really beginning in the second slope on each side. This maximizes the space inside the home, and can allow for a usable third floor. Originally, the style was used to create grand chateaus and townhouses. Flat Roofįlat roofs are commonly used to top commercial and industrial buildings, as well as some homes. Flat roofs aren’t completely flat, but instead have a slight pitch to aid in water run-off. Shed roofs typically have one horizontal plane that’s slightly pitched. Many builders use this style for additions and outbuildings. ![]() ![]() This style of roof easily sheds water and debris, and works well on smaller homes or adds-ons. The butterfly roof has two vertical slopes that fold inward in an elongated V-shape. This creates a home with a dramatic, modern design. Butterfly roofs maximize light and space, but can present drainage issues because the two sides meet in a valley instead of a peak. These roofs resemble many barns and have two sloped sides, with the other two sides meeting walls. Like Mansard roofs, gambrels have two slopes on each side. On gambrels, the bottom portion of the roof has more of a pitch. Whereas some Mansard roofs have flat tops, gambrels are pitched and meet along a central seam. |
