The smaller bird on the left represents his fellow band member Louis Tomlinson (sometimes called Tommo). According to their theory, the bird on the right, the larger one, represents Styles. ![]() Look closely at the photo above: The bird on the right is slightly larger than the bird on the left, and if you squint, you'll notice it also has a straighter, slantier hood marking where its eyebrow might be.įor millions of Directioners, these two little birds are deeply symbolic. "Jorie is getting what has been deemed the 'Harry' one and I am getting the one deemed 'Louis,'" Courtney tells Vox, "due to me calling her Tommo and her calling me Haz."Ĭourtney is referring to the slight differences in the two birds as they appear below Styles's collarbone. (One Direction's other contender for "hottest," Zayn Malik, famously left the band in 2015 and recently released a record-breaking solo album.) Styles has covered his body with tattoos, but this one - at least to a large subsection of One Direction fans - has special significance. Sometimes called Haz, Styles is the perpetually tousled hunky one, often inaccurately portrayed as the band's lead singer mainly by virtue of being deemed the hottest. In fact, here they are as seen on one incredibly famous chest: that of One Direction band member Harry Styles. The tattoos will commemorate their friendship - but they also carry a much deeper meaning, even though at first glance they're just a pair of cute little birds. These days they go to shows together about three times a week. A pair of 22-year-olds from Texas, the two met a few years ago at a concert, bonded over their love of the same bands, and have been best friends ever since. This summer, Courtney and Jorie are planning to get matching tattoos. ![]()

However, as shown in Table 7, only in San Jos's villages ( and also in nearby Escaz ) did. These tables from Value City Furniture are sturdy and durable. But I will say, months without a kitchen sink is a bit torturous.

The glass top coffee and sofa table set is durable and has minor scratches that most people. “I love having creative people in my home every day and watching the process unfold. What I’ll never do again: “I'm one of those weird people who love renovations,” Gretchen admits. I guess my favorite recipe would be making pizza in the pizza oven, but it does take time to heat up and to clean up-though mere seconds to cook at 700 degrees! I also love to bake bread in the regular oven, or make a simple pasta and salad on a regular weeknight for our family.” Helen Norman “This is a functional, usable, practical kitchen. The square footage: 885 square feet for the kitchen, butler’s pantry, and living roomĪFTER: “This is not a showcase kitchen,” Gretchen continues. “I wanted to activate all of the spaces so that nothing was underutilized, while also having plenty of breathing room.” “Since we had worked together previously, I knew that Gretchen was a pro at making decisions and had an appetite for interesting design,” Catherine says. Catherine also changed how we access the outside deck to a much more usable format.” So now our original kitchen is a combination butler’s pantry and mudroom, the original formal dining room is now the family room, and the onetime oversized family room is now the kitchen.

But Catherine saw something so much better, which involved reassigning nearly every space on the first floor while maintaining the same footprint. “My initial idea for the kitchen was to knock down one wall and combine it with the original formal dining room that was adjacent to the kitchen. The inspiration: “We envisioned more space, more light, more storage, and an island so that I could be on one side cooking while guests stood on the other side chatting and socializing,” Gretchen says. Cladding the pizza oven in painted brick allowed it to add texture rather than color.” Helen Norman “We also mixed stones on the island and at the range to avoid having the large space feel stark. AFTER: “For the kitchen, we carried the custom maple finish onto the island and designed the banquette in a rougher stained-black oak to have the pieces feel more like furniture than cabinetry,” Catherine says. ![]() ![]() Maybe you need to get the latest version or update your Facebook Messenger application which is available in the App Store and Play Store. ![]() For example, it won’t show different messages and conversations, etc. You may get errors and see unusual problems.

3/1/2023 0 Comments Hexcells plus 28![]() ![]() You should resist that though – people won’t understand. It’s hard to resist calling other people into the room and point at the screen, explaining just how clever you have to have been to have known that hexagon should be blue. One of the key things about playing Hexcells is how brilliant it makes you feel about yourself to find a next move. What were once relatively simple but engaging puzzles in the original game are now hour-long studies, where you become certain there’s a mistake, that there’s no possible move left to discern, maybe walk away for a while, and then come back to realise it, and feel like you changed the world. Each puzzle requiring you to take in all the available information, and then make leaps of logic in order to apply them. This isn’t random hope - it’s precision calculation. The rules by which you know how to do this at first feel reminiscent of Minesweeper, but it quickly becomes apparent how poor a comparison this is. You have to either colour a hexagon blue, or delete it. Hexcells offers that ideal position of apparent simplicity, but a depth of complexity. To see this content please enable targeting cookies. This third and final (sniff) instalment is by far the hardest so far, another 36 puzzles that quickly reintroduce all the concepts from the first two games, and force you to think harder that ever. The ambient air, the utter magic of quick solving literally making music, while quiet, steady solving feels like massive victory after victory, and the sense of artistry behind the crafting of the puzzles, puts this a level above. I was primed to think I might quite like Hexcells Infinite. I’ve replayed both games multiple times, because it’s a puzzle game of exquisite pleasure, delivered with calm poise and utter beauty. The second game, Hexcells Plus, arrived in December, after we’d already decided the original deserved a spot in our top games of 2013. The original Hexcells appeared from nowhere in my inbox in September, and I fell instantly in love. ![]() Continued abuse of our services will cause your IP address to be blocked indefinitely.I wasn’t subtle about how much I enjoyed Hexcells last year.

They can have a bright color with pink to purple bands or marking.Īll-purple snakes are rare. ![]() Many purple snakes are slender and short. ![]() However, their venom is not a threat to large mammals and humans. Rare exceptions see purple snakes as mildly venomous. Those who encounter purple snakes out in nature typically have no real reasons to worry about. These tend to be nocturnal snakes that live underground. They have a high aesthetic value as they look, unlike other snakes.įinding purple snakes out of captivity is rare. Purple snakes are often found in captivity as morphs. On the other hand, its venom isn’t dangerous to humans or other larger animals. This snake species uses venom to immobilize prey such as frogs and lizards. For example, the Western Blind Snake is considered mildly venomous. Studies on the effect this snake’s venom has been very limited.Įxceptions apply to the category of purple snakes. It’s best to exercise caution when meeting a purple snake out in nature regardless. Many purple-colored snakes live underground and they’re nocturnal creatures which means it rarely meets humans.Ī considerable percentage of purple snakes are bred in captivity as pet snakes. Their venom hasn’t been the subject of extensive research. However, purple snakes haven’t been properly studied. They aren’t poisonous and there have not been reports of serious health impacts following their bites. Purple snakes are generally considered harmless.

If not seems unfair to some classes." In which, Blizzard Devs responded with " In #Legion you will be able to purchase a token that will unlock all Challenge Mode weapon appearances account-wide!" Please be fair to people like me, who have completed the mage tower in legion. We already suspected this would be the case from early 9.1.5 datamining, which included teleport spells that sent players to Mage Tower. Seems only fair if Blizzard could allow us to have access to the Mage Tower AF skins. Players have wanted the Mage Tower from Legion back ever since it went away at the end of that selfsame expansion, and now Blizzard has confirmed that Mage Tower challenges are returning patch 9.1.5. I do not see how it’s fair when people probably only completed it on one character, but now can buy a token to unlock all the weapons appearances. Only because someone on Twitter asked Blizzard if they could allow the WoD challenge mode weapon appearances to be account-wide. But I believe for those who completed it on at least one character should have access to all of the skins no matter what class. Let alone time to level a whole new class. It wasn't easy for everyone to get the gear to be able to complete it. I understand it was challenging and we had a time limit on it, but still. Meaning If you have at least done it one one character, you should be able to unlock the skin for ALL characters you make for Transmog. Many players pushed themselves to collect all the appearances they could before the tower. When the Mage Tower closed at the end of Legion, it was firmly established that those rewards would become unavailable. I honestly feel that the Mage Tower Appearances should be unlocked account-wide. The Timewalking Mage Tower Challenges may be the same as those that players experienced in Legion, but the rewards will be different. ![]() 3/1/2023 0 Comments Us sm bus admin oda![]() The website, however, is an excellent source of information on protection your identity and credit. Because that didn’t happen, there was noting to report. What the FTC treats as identity theft is if someone is successful in opening up an account or getting a loan in your name. Based on my review of that website, it would appear that the FTC doesn’t treat as identify theft the attempted but unsuccessful opening of an account. You can do this at an FTC run website called. Second, she suggested I report the identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission. If I ever need to apply for credit, I’ll need to remove the freeze temporarily. In the case of TransUnion, I was able to use its automated system. It took less than five minutes to freeze my credit with each credit agency. With a credit freeze, you must do this with each of the credit bureaus. With a fraud alert, Experian was able to notify the other two credit bureaus who also added a fraud alert to my file. It’s a step I’ve also taken, but it’s more extreme than a fraud alert. A credit freeze blocks lenders from pulling my credit report. Note that a fraud alert is different from a credit freeze. This may take the form of a telephone call to the number on file with the credit bureaus. The result is that lenders will take steps to ensure that it’s actually me who is applying for credit. A fraud alert notifies potential lenders that my identity has been compromised. Fraud Alertįirst, she suggested I add a fraud alert to my credit file. Beyond disputing the inquiry, the Experian representative made two recommendations. It was less than 24 hours later when I received confirmation that the inquiry had been removed. In a five minute phone call I was able to dispute the inquiry based on fraud. Step Two-contact the credit bureauįollowing the SBA’s advice, I called Experian. Doing so, he told me, should get it removed in 24 to 72 hours. He advised that I should dispute the hard inquiry as fraudulent. The SBA representative then gave me a number to call Experian. The SBA had already rejected the loan application because they suspected fraud. In less than 10 minutes on the phone with the SBA they identified the issue, agreed that it was fraudulent, and marked the transaction accordingly. Fortunately, SBA contact information was available in my Experian credit report. The first step in removing the hard inquiry was to call the SBA. The process of getting it removed involved two steps. Checking your score or report will not affect your credit score. The best example of a soft inquiry is if you check your own credit report. If you apply for a credit card or car loan and the lender checks your credit report and score, it will show up as a hard inquiry on your credit report.Ī soft inquiry, or soft pull, is one that does not affect your score. A hard inquiry occurs when you apply for a loan. A hard inquiry, also called a hard pull, will lower your credit score. How to remove a hard inquiry from a credit report I suspected fraud because it seemed unlikely that the SBA would mistakenly have my social security number and other identifying information and put an inquiry on the report. So I knew immediately that this was either a mistake or fraud. The Small Business Administration (SBA) reported this hard inquiry to Experian in September. I have given up and just hope it is dead. I kept demanding that I receive documentation that the loan was stopped, they have not done so.

The mountain feist is an artifact of the pioneer age that serves as a direct link to a time when many Americans lived off the land. What is known is that the breed became greatly reduced in numbers as rural people abandoned farmsteads to take jobs in towns and larger cities. Geographic isolation and personal preference of the owner must have influenced the development of the mountain feist. No one knows for sure how the various sections of the country developed their own distinct lines that are now being crossed widely given advances in communications and transportation. Yes, “feist” is like “deer”-the term is both singular and plural, never “feists.” The origin of the variant from Appalachia, the mountain feist, is somewhat convoluted. With the main feist-type dogs that are the focus of my book ( The Mountain Feist-available by contacting me at or social media), we are watching in real time and there is potential for the dogs to be drastically different, for better or for worse, in another 20 years. Just as Coonhound breeds radiated from common Foxhound ancestors and Fox Ferriers split into predominantly white-coated variants of working Terriers such as the officially-recognized Fox terrier, Jack Russell Terrier, Parson Russell Terrier and Russell Terrier we are at a crossroads. ![]() Many dozens of dog breeds were developed in Victorian times and the process is largely lost. Whatever type of dog you prefer, my hope is that this article will serve as a reminder and a celebration into the resurgence of a hunting dog that could have been forgotten. Increasingly, there are subtle developments happening as feist are tailored to fit the needs of a new generation of owners. Changes in land use patterns, an aging hunter population and the adaptability of the dogs have all contributed to an exponential resurgence in their numbers. The term encompasses breeds and dogs of mixed or unknown origins but perform the job. Feist is an umbrella term to describe a smooth-coated canine, under 30 pounds, used for squirrel hunting. Over the last 20 years, a small dog has grown in popularity despite being around in one form or another for centuries.
