We don't still study Shakespeare because of his mastery at synecdoche and metonymy, regardless of what your last Engllsh quiz tested you on. "Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended" / "Mother, you have my father much offended" might be my favorite line in the entire play for the amount of raw emotion it contains. The "here, play this flute for us" scene is another example of such brilliance. Hamlet does this for the entire play, if you're paying attention. But when Claudius says to Hamlet, "How is it the clouds still hang on you?" and Hamlet says, "I am too much in the sun" then sure maybe your English teacher's going to ask you about metaphor and themes and all this stuff, but it's also a great subtle "Fuck you, you're not my real dad" moment and it's literally Hamlet's second line. I don't expect most modern audiences to understand, without help, what "hoist by his own petard" means or a "bare bodkin" is or who is "fardel" and what's he supposed to be bearing. People need to keep an open mind and be able to say, "Ok well, yeah, that part was confusing, but does this part mean what I think it means?" because pretty often, it does. That doesn't mean that it's *all* like that. It would be a disservice to suggest that it's not difficult, when you really dig into it. And that's not even counting the various words that have become archaic. If you honestly believe that you get all the inside jokes and political commentary that he snuck in 400 years ago and you're not a PhD student in the subject? You probably missed more than a few and only think you got it. Yes, Shakespeare is hard to read and effectively comes across like it's written in a different language. I read his works well before they were assigned to me and out of the Black's Readers The Works of Shakespeare, which had no annotations at all and only a brief glossary at the back, so I often had to use context clues to parse the language.Ī big part of the problem is that people give up too easily. (He quoted poetry from Milton through the mid-Victorian era extensively to illustrate the continuing influence of the stories he was retelling.) That early taste for poetry helped out a great deal when I came to read Shakespeare, especially since I was virtually on my own. It was probably lucky for me that I fell in love at an early age with Bulfinch's Mythology and with poetry through Bulfinch. ![]() Reading poetry and understanding it is where they stumble. It's probably because they're reading them out of annotated editions, so the archaic words aren't an obstacle because they're already defined on the page. Every time I've had someone tell me about a passage they couldn't get, it's invariably been one in which all the words retain their meanings in contemporary English and the only difficulty is the heightened language. ![]() There are a number of other subs that discuss the various theories that someone other than the man from Stratford wrote the works attributed to William Shakespeare.

This screenshot preview (couldn't find a full sized version) is pretty similar to the finished Castle, with a few key differences. There is still no score, and Jazz's blaster is evidently powered up, despite the only Blaster powerup normally being in Diamondus. the background isn't purple here, but why would the Queen be in the first level?) Here we see Jazz "fighting" the Queen, who is in a completely different battle arena. On a side note, the second picture has the Pre-Beta Castle Night palette, so download it if you're curious.Ĭastle Night has lost its purple and has gone orange, though the orange is much brighter than that of the final version. In other news, you'll see an early attempt to apply different resolutions to JJ2 (some weird resizing), and an early version of the information given when you press F9 twice. This also explains why the background is purple in the finished version of Castle Night, despite the dark orange foreground blocks. Dungeon Dilemma (day) was orange, Knight Cap (night) was purple. Taken at about the same time in development, these two pictures explain the purple castle problem. I don't think this area of the level appears in the final game anywhere, but I could be wrong. For one, the ammo icon is the red toaster picture, but the ammo is powered up - I guess separate icons hadn't yet been implemented. Apparently, at this stage of development, there was no score.Īnother scoreless purple castle picture, but with a few differences. Other things to note are the Blaster icon (bullet instead of Fastfire) and the gem, which is a typical beta style gem. Curiously, in the final version, there were no lizards in Castle.

Jazz Jackrabbit HQ - Prototype Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (Castle) Probably overshadowed in time by more popular singles of the band, Whatsername is the smash hit single that brought a conclusion to the now legendary album American Idiot. He conceived the tune thinking the band wouldn’t like it however, it became the biggest hit of the summer of 94 debuting in Billboard’s Top 30 chart list. Reportedly, he came up with almost every detail in his head and whistled it into a recording. You can approach this 90s hit as an arpeggio and composition challenge, albeit these were the key traits that led to its success during the grunge height of the grunge era.Ĭornell originally started writing the song as he was driving home at 4 am. ![]() The song is built around an arpeggio of Gsus4, Gm chord progression followed by an F5 and E5, leaving an air of suspense and an “open door” feeling given its inflicted dissonance. The only technical specification you need to know is its extra sharp tuning which leads yet to another masterclass in what a catchy melodic line can achieve with mild arrangements and a punchy chorus. Presumably recorded to inspire fear and an overwhelming sense of eariness, Soundgarden’s staple hit single in D# tuning was pitch-shifted sharp 2/3rds of a semitone through an analog process with 432hZ instead of 440hz. It became one of the hottest hits of the summer of 2000 as it topped the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks at #2, and it remained in constant airplay on MTV for over a year. Between rhythmical shifts and a melodic and melancholic starting riff, Adam’s Song has a lot more to offer other than its initial and simplistic first glance.Īdam’s song is one of the defining tunes at the turn of the century, as it harnessed commercial and underground success since its release. This tune is an ode to simplicity for all those pop and skate punk rockers out there, it taps into the evocative and emotional exploits of drop D, and not everything is about the heaviness of it. The song came to be when guitarist Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus recalled the internal plight and loneliness that entails a touring lifestyle and having no one to come home to. Simple, emotional, and an all-around hymn ever since its controversial release and success in the year 2000. There are plenty of exciting techniques to practice in this one, including muted hammer-ons during the riff, timed delays while playing the bridge, and power chord shapes that drive this gem. So, once you’ve got the main riff and some nuances down, you’ll breezily float through the rest.īefore learning this track, tune the guitar to drop D, which goes from low to high- D A D G B E. But don’t let that scare you away, for “Schism” also happens to be one of their most repetitive tracks. It’s fairly complex, packed with challenging rhythm, intricacies, and unusual time signatures. “Schism” from Tool’s third album, Lateralus, is the perfect pick for guitar players looking to push the envelope. The one we shall be talking about is the song that fetched the band a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. Practically, their entire discography features him playing a dropped-D tuned guitar. ![]() It’s no secret that Adam Jones of the Progressive rock band Tool has a particular affinity for drop D tuning.

![]() If I play Cultris, I end up with roughly 1.4 keys per piece for my left hand (rotation and harddrop) and also 1.4 for my right hand (movements). I use vertical spawning directions, and I need about 2.8 keys per piece where just 0.4 come from rotations. If your setup is balanced also depends on how you play. I use a similar setup like 1000fire (I use either hold or 180 rotate, but not both at the same time). On the other hand, 116 movements is perfect. 77 rotations is more than you would expect to have with 180� rotation. Here some stats from Microbizz' 20.55 seconds run: This run would have been 77 rotations and 116 movements (DAS included) with 2 step finesse. NullpoMino League edition has the ability to log some stats, perhaps you can calculate the key distributions from that. Most times, you have to move your piece at least once and often twice. But if you consider me replaying the Microblizz run (no 180° rotate), it would have been 185 keys for my left hand (77 rotations, 5 holds, 103 harddrops) in contrast to 116 keys for my right hand - pretty much unbalanced.ġ movement key per piece is a bit understatement. ![]() 77 rotations is more than you would expect to have with 180° rotation. I'd also recommend to use commands you need the most (such as right/left and hard drop) shoud be on middle/index or ring fingers -ġ movement key per piece is a bit understatement. Also id try to avoid using the thumb and pinkie, since these are fingers u dont use often, therefor they are slower. the less you have to move you fingers the faster ull get. I dont have to lift my finger (keyboard is totally flat) and the up/down key are together the sme size as right arrow, so i actually dont really have to move my finger im not really fast with it yet, but its very comfortable, because my hands are not close together and the are not the same high (which i find more comfortable) i think what keys you are using depends alot on your keyboard and i think it should be comfortable for you, beside that it doesnt matter. I think my middle finger is faster in switching and pinkie/thumb pressing. ![]() ![]() I got some stuff from here: left hand w=ccw a=cw s=180 d= hold right hand left arrow= left right arrow= right up arrow= soft drop down arrow= hard drop I tried to use my left hand similiar to a mmorpg's, since i played alot of them (wow,tera, aion are the biggest) the right hand i got from blink, left/right is sure but i kind of like the hard/soft drop setting. If been trying to improve my keys settings too, since i was using tf default from beginning( got rank 19 at least) so that is what im trying to learn now. ![]() i always broil my lamb chops and love the crispy outside and the tender texture inside that broiling imparts to the chops. Sorry but i have to give my first no fork rating. I will be making it quite often and can't wait to tell the ladies at my next diet meeting! The result was the best tasting, tenderest and juciest lamb chops I have ever had! With a baked potato and green beans, it was an easy and quick recipe to make. I followed the recipe, but just cut down on amounts for the two chops. I had 1/2 lb of two lamb loin chops and trimmed off the fat. This recipe interested me because I was cooking such a small piece of lamb that I didn't want to broil or grill and have to clean up the mess for such a small dinner. I am on a diet and so usually cook a separate meal for myself apart from my family's. Put a splash of fresh lemon juice and a bit of white wine in pan to deglaze and poured over chops. Lamb chops have been a staple for of life and this is the worst recipe I have ever encountered.ĭelicioso! Made as recommended, but while tenting the finished chops I added a few tbsp of pint noir, deglazed the pan, and then tossed in a couple of cups of pea shoots and baby bok choy and stir fried for a couple of minutes. Sorry but I will never look at this recipe again. Even after two and half hours of marinating the flavor were completely disjointed. The spices/herbs completely took away the flavor of the lamb. My husband loves when I make these for him! There is no smell of old sheep's meat and it probably helped with your marinade. We hadn't eaten lamb for years but after trying lamb's kroon in a Dalmatian restaurant I wanted to eat the same at home. ![]() Broiling leaves my chops a nice crisp and juicy piece of meat that tastes like lamb. I'll return to broiling though for my lamb chops. I frequently use the stove top to pan cook my meats with great results. It's been more than an hour now since dinner and everyone agrees the spice taste has lingered and some expensive meat cuts have gone to waste. I couldn't taste the lamb, just rosemary and garlic. I carefully followed the indegriates and recipe. Once again this recipe completely covered the flavor of the star the Lamb Chop. We served it with some basmati rice and thinly sliced tiny zucchini and yellow squash, sautéed with thin-sliced shallot, butter, EVOO, and dill, and homemade garlic bread. Good thing we weren't at an upscale restaurant or occasion where that would be gauche! I honestly don't know how to get all the meat from this kind of chops without picking up the bone to gnaw on, but that doesn't bother me a bit. Since they were so thick I timed 4 minutes per side, and they were just perfect. I had bad luck broiling lamb the other week and setting off the smoke detector, so decided sautéing would be much easier, and it was. We have a lot of chocolate mint in the herb garden, but the hint of chocolate in the mint seemed like it'd be weird. We had mint jelly, but I like mint sauce better. I think my father also used to add a squeeze of lemon to the rub or marinade, and he always made fresh mint sauce. The rosemary and garlic didn't overpower the lamb at all - it was perfect. I made this with five thick grass-fed Australian Lamb Loin Chops, 3 big garlic cloves, a splash of EVOO, pinch of coarse salt, and the minced leaves from two fresh rosemary sprigs. They were absolutely delicious (served with basmati rice and brussel sprouts) and everyone enjoyed! Was looking for a quick recipe for company. I can taste the lamb and I like it with herbs. I looked up four different recipes all use Thyme or Rosemary herbs. Anyway, these were perfect.įor those comments complaining about not being able to taste the lamb, I think the people complaining about the overwhelming rosemary flavor must have used dried rosemary and maybe didn't get the quantity right? The recipe calls for way less dried than fresh rosemary. Will definitely make them this way again. We were lamenting that we didn't make twice as many chops. We made them exactly as written, using fresh rosemary, and they were so good. Sunflower oil keeps the chocolate cake moist, you can also use light olive oil, vegetable oil, or rapeseed oil.ĭutch-processed cocoa powder gives the chocolate cake a deep intense flavor. From my experience, soy milk works best for creating buttermilk, but you can absolutely use another plant-based milk such as almond milk or oat milk depending on your dietary preferences. Non-dairy milk is mixed with apple cider vinegar which creates a vegan buttermilk substitute. For a kid-friendly version, try extra cherry juice or apple juice. You can also use sweeter cherry brandy, regular brandy, or Amaretto here. Kirsch is a clear, cherry-flavored liquor.

With Shurtape, all that is necessary to remove the film from the back of the tape is to snag near a corner with a knife and lift the film. I found a roll of double-stick tape at a discount store (kinda like a dollar store but larger) that looks a lot like Shurtape, but with one very important difference. Also, fabric is resilient and can withstand catches without breaking the bond. The adhesive is very sticky, especially if the taped joint is compressed for a few minutes. The fact that it is fabric means that the tape itself is somewhat compressable which means that it can more readily conform to the irregular surfaces of the glue block and workpiece. Shurtape is a fabric tape with a removable blue film to protect the adhesive on the back side of the tape.
