![]() ![]() ![]() There is little or no cylinder pressure to cushion the reversal, so the pin bears the full weight of the high-speed piston as it is yanked back down the cylinder. The worst case occurs when the piston reverses direction at the top of the exhaust stroke. Under these conditions, the pin can bend and distort to an egg shape even if it is well lubricated. The wrist pin is charged with the daunting task of snatching the piston back from the brink of disaster hundreds of times per second in the face of massive cylinder pressure and alternating loading that can approach 400 g’s. If you’re using high-level forced induction, nitrous oxide injection, high rpm or heavy sustained loading on your performance engine, upgraded wrist pins represent the insurance deal of the century. Stroke for stroke, the wrist pin takes one for the team every bit as much as the rod or the piston. Few engine builders dispute that notion, but what about the less glamorous piece of steel that mates them together through thick and thin? In a sense, the wrist pin is like the unsung soldier who throws himself across the barbed wire barrier while the rest of the troops run across his back. It has been said that the piston and connecting rod are the most tortured parts in a performance engine. Trend Performance offers endless solutions to engine longevity with wrist pins of every conceivable size, wall thickness and material. Like rod bolts, wrist pins are the Kryptonite assassins of careless race engine assembly.

![]() This could have been a good movie, but the problem is that it seems to take itself too seriously at times. While I don't agree that it's quite as bad as Eric puts it, it's certainly not worthy of the praise you heap upon it either. We all have our blind spots towards certain movies because they feature favorite actors of ours and Patrick clearly you are giving this movie more than its due because of your adoration for Streisand. Those babies threaten to fall out in one scene, but she carefully moves about the room so it does not happen. She has never been known for being attractive, but she wears a couple of outfits that seem more suitable for Jane Mansfield. The one and only thing I enjoyed in this movie is Streisand’s breast. The scene does not work on any number of levels. The final scene is Streisand belting out the theme song, “On a clear day.” While she becomes superimposed over a cloudy sunset. The outside shot of Montand seems to belong in a different movie altogether. All of the shots of Streisand on her roof are obviously on a sound stage. What was up with the first distant shot? Another scene has Montand on top of a building singing outside. The camera moves in then jumps to a different take where she is talking to him. One scene shows Streisand laughing at a restaurant with Montand from a distance. Perhaps he is better in his native France, but here he is more forgettable and bland than lunch at McDonalds. For everyone else, it is a complete and utter mess.Īs Patrick wrote, Montand has no charm to speak of and adds nothing to the several songs he sings here. If you are a devoted Streisand fan, like Patrick, you may like this movie just as a chance to see your favorite diva over act and blare out some songs. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever is without a doubt, Barbra Streisand’s weakest musical. On a Clear Day You Can See Forever is without a doubt, Barbra Streisand’s weakest musical. A great performance in a flawed but entertaining musical. But this is clearly a one woman showcase for Babs and she more than lives up to the occasion. Jack Nicholson and Bob Newhart both have small but funny parts. He had the same problem opposite Marilyn Monroe in Let's Make Love. But then he is just about as dull a movie star as you can find. The main flaw with Clear Day is in the fact that Streisand and Montand have no chemistry together. Barbra also gets to demonstrate her flair for comedy especially in the scene on her apartment rooftop where she tries to stop the Dr. 'What did I have that I don't have' and the title number are standouts. ![]() The movie really sparkles when Barbra sings. will meet, fall in love and get married in Virginia sometime in the 2030's. At the movies' conclusion it is revealed that Daisy and the Dr. but then she hears a tape of herself under hypnosis and discovers her inner secret. Chabot falls for Melinda but can't stand boring, unsophisticated Daisy. Minnelli shows his exquisite eye for color and Cecil Beaton drapes Barbra in some truly over-the-top gowns, including one with a large turban.Īnyway to make a long story short, Dr. There is one fabulous sequence that was filmed at the Royal Pavilion at Brighton. We see how Melinda was raised in an orphanage, gets kicked out and eventually meets her lover Robert Tentrees. The movie features several extravagant flashback scenes. "My name is Melinda!" Barbra not only does a decent upper-class British accent she also gets to do a funny cockney one. In particular an English woman who lived early in the 19th Century. Marc Chabot (Yves Montand) and under hypnosis it is revealed that Daisy had many past lives. ![]() This is the story of wealthy college girl, and psychic, Daisy Gamble (she makes flowers grow faster and knows when the phone will ring among other things) who attends a lecture on hypnosis in order to quit smoking. Times were changing quickly however and after this movie Barbra would completely update her image, both in music and movies, with The Owl and the Pussycat and her Stony End album. Whereas Fanny Brice and Dolly Levi (and even Melinda Tentrees) were all larger than life period characters, Daisy Gamble is a modern, stylish, (love those Scaasi creations) Jewish, New York girl who can really sing. It is also worth noting that Daisy Gamble was the only time Barbra's 60's musical persona shows up in a movie. She had already worked with William Wyler on Funny Girl and Gene Kelly on Hello Dolly! before being guided by the masterful hand and amazing eye for color that was Vincente Minnelli. This was her third musical in a row as well as her third collaboration with a legendary Hollywood director. On a Clear Day marks the end of the first phase of Barbra Streisand's movie career. Barbra Streisand in On a Clear Day You Can See Forever. ![]() We tested Avast One's impact on system performance by running top benchmark (opens in new tab) PCMark Professional before and after installation. The end result was a speedy and hassle-free installation on our normal review system. The installer doesn't try to set Avast Secure Browser as your system default, for instance (in fact, Avast One doesn't include Secure Browser at all.)Īvast One Essential doesn't require registration, either, so there's no need to create accounts or hand over any personal information.

![]() IPinator dropped my connection speed by 9 Mbps. So as a VPN and a Smart DNS service, IPinator’s true strength lies in its speed. If you are a binge streamer like me, you can compromise on everything except speed.Īfter all, no one enjoys buffering while watching their favorite shows online. You can connect to your preferred server location and start web surfing anonymously with IPinator. Especially considering that an established VPN like TunnelBear only provides servers from 20 countries. This service offers 84 server locations along with 2000 IP addresses worldwide. Long this short, I found the VPN’s jurisdiction a bit problematic in this IPinator VPN review. On the other, the legislative protection of public privacy continues to decline under the current government.Īmerica is at the heart of the Five Eyes Alliance, the group of countries that share intel with one another. On one side, you have the ever-conniving NSA watching over the citizens like Big Brother. However, when it comes to online privacy, the situation of this country is somewhat nightmarish. It is a country where dreams turn into reality. Jurisdiction –Is it located in a 5-eyes country?Īmerica, is truly the land of opportunity. However, I do not know about the level of encryption other pricing plans offer to the subscribers. The premium VPN + SmartDNS package provides 1024-bit encryption. It provides a great balance of speed with security. I would have loved if the provider was using OpenVPN protocol. Sadly, I did not find any of the above-mentioned protocols on the official website. The provider should have offered a list of tunneling protocols like PPTP, OpenVPN, L2TP/IPSec, SSTP, and IKEv2. I was unable to find any information about the protocols IPinator VPN offers to its users. Hence, the free trial is the only way through which you can evaluate this service. Unfortunately, IPinator does not offer any refunds to its customers. There are only ways of paying the provider: Credit Cards and PayPal.Īlas! a bitcoin option would have been nice. Readers of this IPinator VPN review will be disappointed by the lack of payment methods. Similarly, you can avail VPN + SmartDNS plan through paying $79.00 every year. The users can select the Premium VPN + SmartDNS at the cost of $4.99 on monthly basis.įurthermore, the users may use the same VPN or SmartDNS only package by spending $29.00 per year. However, the IPinator lifetime subscription is available on two plans. Similarly, you should pay $49.00 for Premium VPN + SmartDNS plan on yearly basis. Likewise, you will have to pay $99.00 for subscribing VPN + SmartDNS package. You can avail VPN or SmartDNS only plan by paying $49.00. These pricing plans are VPN or SmartDNS Only, VPN + SmartDNS, and Premium VPN + SmartDNS. IPinator is currently offering three types of pricing plans. Now we get to the important part of this IPinator VPN review: the pricing plans. Pricing – How much does IPinator VPN cost? Compatibility – Apps and supported devices.Trustworthiness – Logs and customer support.Jurisdiction –Is it located in a 5-eyes country?.Pricing – How much does IPinator VPN cost?.My Rating Criteria – IPinator VPN Reviewīelow you will find a list of factors that I have used to review IPinator VPN: In this IPinator VPN review, I will try to cover each aspect of the service in detail.Īfter reading this review, you can compare this VPN with some of our other popular VPN reviews and make a well-informed decision. This trait makes IPinator VPN a good choice for those users who want to unblock their favorite content. The only good thing about the service is its SmartDNS feature. The service offers 84 server locations in various countries of the world. IPinator VPN is a US-based VPN service that does not fulfill the criteria of any standard service. Note: IPinator VPN has recently stopped its operations and is currently no longer active. ![]() They barely snuck into the playoffs after stumbling through the second half. Why you should get on board: Nobody believes in them! Including their fans, coach and all their players!Īnd rightly so, probably. I wouldn’t have the guts, but if you do, I respect it. This series might be over in three games.īottom line: I can’t in good conscience recommend the Panthers this year given their matchup, even as I can still see the appeal. Why you shouldn’t: They’re going to absolutely get their doors blown off by the Bruins. And unlike last year, you can’t even be accused of frontrunning, because the 2022 Presidents’ Trophy winners had to scrape into the playoffs with a hot second half. The fan base has been through a ton, the team is talented and fun to watch, and they’re the classic little brother that keeps getting picked on by the more successful sibling. Why you should get on board: They don’t have Joe Thornton or Claude Giroux anymore, but otherwise just about all the things still apply from last year when we anointed them the easy pick as the best bandwagon team in the league. The Athletic's NHL staff makes their playoff picks: Why you shouldn’t: You should care about being called a frontrunner, because they’re the worst.īottom line: Picking the reigning champs as the worst possible bandwagon team is a bit of a cliché and I don’t do it every year, but this year you can get all the skill and potential from a team whose fan base isn’t still hungover from the parade. Screw what people say, you’re taking the defending champs. The Avs are one of the most exciting and entertaining teams in the league, and we all deserve nice things. Why you should get on board: Because you don’t care about being called a frontrunner. It’s time for my annual bandwagon-hopper’s guide to the 16 playoff teams. You want fun characters, good stories, an OGWAC or two, and ideally not too many players you’ll feel dirty for rooting for. You want a team that’s good enough to win, but not so good that you look like a frontrunner. Your team was bad this season, you endured it all, and now the games really matter and you deserve to have a quick fling, you know? But the truth is that it’s just more fun to watch the playoffs with a rooting interest, even if it’s a flimsy one that you won’t hesitate to abandon as soon as the final horn sounds on that fourth loss. It’s a controversial path, one that some hockey fans will swear is forbidden. Or you could go the dreaded bandwagon route. ![]() A moderator will have the final say on whether or not a post is low quality/effort or not. We feel like you know what low-quality/effort posts are.

The Printopia printers will show the icon and have the notation “Printopia XXXX” when XXXX is the name of your Mac. When you look at the print popover on your iOS 4.2.x device, you see the printers shared by Mac OS X, and again, the printers shared by Printopia, in the same list. When, and if, Apple enables IPP printing via Printer Sharing in, say, 10.6.6, the two won’t conflict. Pick the one you want, and you’re off and running. If you have Printopia running, touch “Select Printer,” and you’ll see print options like this: IOS 4.2 apps that are enabled for printing will have a popover that looks like this: It’s refreshing to see this kind of manual for something that’s only a Preference Pane.

Convert the page/document to PDF and drop into your home directory, in ~/Documents/Printopia.Print conventionally to a printer connected to a Mac.Printopia is remarkably capable and flexible for such an inexpensive program. Every printer they have tested, however, has worked with Printopia. Moreover, initial 10.6.5 beta testing by Ecamm suggested that not every printer connected to a Mac with Printer Sharing would work using IPP - before the feature was pulled. (System Preferences -> Sharing - Printer Sharing.) And you don’t need Mac OS X 10.6.5, just 10.5 or later. The upshot is that you don’t need to have to have Printer Sharing turned on. This approach, according to Ecamm Network, allows them to add features and is a better approach than simply trying to trick CUPS into speaking AirPrint. The Ecamm print server speaks a subset of the IPP protocol, so it’s instantly visible to most any iPad, iPhone or iPod touch with iOS 4.2 (see the System Requirements). Any printer connected to your Mac that’s already printing normally will work. ![]() Once installed, it launches a print server of its own. Removal is easy, just right click the Preference Pane item. Installation is trivial a Preference Pane is installed and shows up in System Preferences. zip file and contains the installer and a short PDF manual. Why Apple pulled the feature that they had previously announced is not clear. Printopia is useful because Apple removed the ability of Mac OS X 10.6.5, just before it was released, to provide printing services, via Print Sharing and IPP, to iOS 4.2 devices. An iPad, iPhone or iPod touch (3G+) with iOS 4.2.x can then print to any printer you have connected to your Mac, independent of Mac OS Printer Sharing. Printopia is a Preference Pane that’s basically a print server on your Mac.

Blige backing he gets on "Who Your Around," but his stories of growing up in the concrete jungle lack insight or angle, as turning to a life of crime is just a way to afford "Polo & Shell Tops," because that's the way it goes, and it makes for a damn good hook.

Any shuffle button could do just as well, but sliced off into little bits, this is the glittery gangster feeling, big boss stuff that Ross and Maybach fans expect, delivered with Meek's love of combining Twista fast with Rick Ross force, making him the MVP of the star-studded "Maybach Curtains" (with Nas, John Legend, and Ross) by sheer force of will and volume. Check how the hooky swagger anthem "Young & Gettin' It" with Kirko Bangz gives way to the heartbreaking "Traumatized" without a pause, and while Meek's a strong enough, smart enough, and, most of all, determined enough rapper to make these two sides happen, the album doesn't sort these cuts with even a mixtape's sense of care. ![]() Having torn it up on the first two volumes of Maybach Music's Self Made compilations, Philadelphia rapper and former Grand Hustle artist Meek Mill finally busts out on his own on Dreams and Nightmares, an apt title for an album that haphazardly bounces between the two.

Halstead specializes in wholesale findings, chain, and metals for jewelry artists. The firm is celebrating its 46th anniversary this year. Halstead is one of North America's leading distributors of quality jewelry supplies. Tip: Plan ahead! I used hard, medium, soft and extra easy while soldering this ring together. I also dropped the ring into a tumbler with steel shot in it for 30 minutes before setting the crystal. 3M radial bristle disks fit perfectly inside most finger ring bands, to quickly clean the center and also around any tight spaces. Finishing these sterling silver findings is simple. It's critical nothing moves while soldering the ring band. Use a third hand to hold onto the ring band during the soldering process. I didn't need to use glue on this piece because the bezel wire is so tight the crystal will never drop out. Next, I checked to make sure that the bezel wire still fit over the crystal point. The adjacent jaws hold it perfectly in place while you're creating the circle. ![]() Tip: A great way to create a tight loop in a thick pattern wire is to shape it with a Wubbers bail making plier. I soldered it together and then chose which finger ring band it worked well with. I built the center band out of flat strip and pattern wire first. Use this technique to create a trendy silver ring like this one or get creative with other center mount design ideas. Center Banding Crystal Drop Sterling Silver Finger Ring Tip: Be sure the head of the headpin is larger than the small hole ID on the bead cone. Thread the headpin up through the bead cone to create a loop, then add a stream of Starbond around the tip of the crystal where it touches the bead cone. With a minimum of materials needed, you can quickly create stunning earrings. Bead Cones, Headpins & Earwiresīead cones make beautiful caps for crystal shards. Tip: The tapered interior in cones is more forgiving than end caps so you can fit a wider range of crystal point widths. Re-purpose bead cones to create beautiful caps! Cones are tapered so they will fit a wider range of crystal diameters. If some spills out on the crystal remove it immediately. Tip: Be sure to use a minimum amount of glue. Run hoops, earwires, or similar earring findings through the loops on the end caps. Tighten the caps as needed around the crystals. Run a thin stream of Starbond glue around the crystal tip and slide that into the gallery end cap, then wait a couple of minutes for the glue to dry. With just a few sterling silver findings you can replicate these nice drops! The raw crystal ring was a bit trickier since it involves multi-layered soldering and bezel setting skills. I found it quick and easy to complete a pair within 10 minutes including a few minutes of waiting for the adhesive to set. I had so much fun with the first pair of earrings, I ended up making a total of 3 pairs that day using a variety of sterling silver findings. The earrings were fairly simple, but you do need to know basic wire wrapping skills for one of them. After sorting through it for matching pairs, I decided on creating earrings and a ring out of my favorite pieces. I recently received a bag full of crystal points.
