![]() ![]() To make it easier on your wrist and fingers you can substitute a Bb5 chord.

![]() And once the deed is done, you’re forever in their debt. Synopsis: Anyone can ask the Red Court for a favor…but every request comes at a cost. These Vengeful Hearts by Katherine Laurin But I am very intimidated by the idea of playing in the romance playground. And naturally sometimes a romantic storyline develops in those stories. I have played around in the playgrounds of suspense, thriller, horror, paranormal, urban fantasy, high fantasy. I can’t say yet if it will work for me, but I’ll keep you updated for sure.Īnd romance, my gods that scares me. So this will be an entirely new experience for me. I have always been a fly by the seat of my pants writer and gone into a book with a vague plot idea and just let the inspiration flow. I have character outlines, relationship outlines, and chapter outlines. And it’s an entirely different genre than I have ever written before, romance!Ĭompared to other years, I have planned this book to death. The plot is clearly formed in my mind from beginning to end. ![]() The characters have come to me over time, developing their personalities a little bit at a time. This is a story idea I’ve been playing around with all year. This year is a bit of a different feeling. Sometimes I completed the 50,000 word goal, sometimes other life priorities got in the way. I realized today that this is the fourteenth year I will be participating in Nano. I am going a little bit outside my normal blog routine to talk about the new year of National Novel Writing Month. It’s a very good book but just not well suited for audio. I found myself having to Google some of the items because I just couldn’t picture what we were talking about and I didn’t have the pictures in front of me. Ultimately I am not sure if this is well suited to an audiobook though since a lot of those book is visual. I had never heard of a lot of these items and that was refreshing. The rest of them were quite fascinating though. There weren’t any details that I hadn’t heard before nor any fresh take on the item’s legend. Some of them I had read about in other volumes and frankly I found those ones run of the mill. The stories of the items were interesting. ![]() ![]() Since the stories are a bit short and full of facts it could have ended up dry and boring but the narrator managed to bring a lot of life and wit to the story. This audiobook was quite a quick journey, I think I got it finished in about a day and a half. Review: ***Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for an honest review. But never before have the true stories of these infamous real-life items been compiled into a fascinating and chilling volume. As a culture, we can’t seem to get enough of cursed objects. They’re cursed objects, and in order to unleash a wave of misfortune, all they need…is you. Their stories have inspired countless horror movies, reality TV shows, campfire tales, books, and even chain emails. They’re lurking in museums, graveyards, and private homes around the world. Spanning decades and continents, subjects range from the opulent Hope Diamond to the humble Busy Stoop chair.

There are many ways in which you can add some placeholder text to your Fireworks PNG files, but the problem starts when you need to adjust the amount of text (perhaps the layout has changed, or the font size was increased so the text is now too long). When working with prototypes, placeholder text is often used. Without a doubt, another very important part of the prototyping process is working with text. John Dunning’s Extensions Lorem Ipsum Auto Shapeįireworks is a very good UI prototyping tool, and we’ve covered this topic in previous articles such as “ Developing a Design Workflow in Adobe Fireworks” and “ Interactive Prototypes and Time-Savers With Adobe Fireworks”. Extensions by other extension developers.To make the content of Part 1 better organized (and for easier navigation), I have grouped the extensions (commands, command panels and auto shapes) into the following main sections: In an upcoming article, I’ll be covering many articles and tutorials which I highly recommend that involve UI design and Fireworks, as well as a few freebies, such as editable Fireworks PNG files, templates, styles, Fireworks resource libraries, and so on. ![]() So while we’re looking for alternatives, many of us also have to continue to use Fireworks, and, as every designer out there knows, Fireworks works best with extensions! This article features some of the most useful (and free) Fireworks extensions that will help you work faster and be more effective with Fireworks I have tested many of them myself, to be sure that they work flawlessly. (I’ll talk more about possible alternatives to Fireworks in Part 2 of this series.) Nevertheless, since Fireworks runs fine today on the latest Mac OS X and Windows OS, and since it still offers a solid UI-design feature set, many designers continue to use it and rely on it daily.įor those of you who are searching for a similar tool, Sketch 3.0 seems to be a pretty good alternative to Fireworks, but it’s still not quite there yet it’s Mac-only, and while its vector tools are very good and it now has artboards, pages, symbols and styles, it lacks a few of the basic features available in Fireworks. In the first part of this article, find a group with great extensions (commands, command panels, and auto shapes) and see how to take full advantage of them.įireworks is an excellent UI design tool however, Adobe decided to feature-freeze it back in 2013 and (at the same time) did not offer any replacement tool to its users. However, there are many extensions that might help you improve Fireworks. Since Adobe decided to feature-freeze Fireworks in 2013, there is no replacement available for this Software. ![]() ![]() For more about the phrase, including its origins, see Bite the bullet on Wikipedia.

And, if anything, this is aggravating. FIFA owns the likenesses and names of the great majority of players, and while eFootball has secured a few huge names like Messi and Ronaldo, FIFA comes out on top. Again, we don’t have a choice we must put up with this crap. ![]() ![]() Last year, Konami persuaded Juventus to abandon FIFA, which irritated EA to no end, and it appears that they may have tied up another couple of Italian Serie A teams this time, successfully removing them from FIFA, but all this means is that we now have two football games with varying degrees of phoney names. These could formerly be patched out to be corrected, but this is an extra step that we are not sure how to handle in eFootball. Because FIFA controls the majority of team rights, Konami’s eFootball title is forced to utilise fictitious player and club names. This is when things start to annoy the end-user - that is, you and me. In terms of appearances, we believe FIFA will continue to hold the upper hand. Even though Unreal Engine 5 is right around the corner, eFootball will continue to use Unreal Engine 4 - we expect it to switch at some point in the future. GraphicsįIFA has been running on EA’s Frostbite engine for a few of years now, and it still looks fantastic. eFootball will be available for free, but FIFA 22 will be available in three separate packages ranging from roughly $50 to $100, depending on how much more content you want. Konami has changed things up substantially this year in order to challenge FIFA’s dominance in some way. However, you can’t deny that FIFA’s presentation has improved dramatically in recent years. Many FIFA players may disagree, but it is widely assumed that Pro Evolution Soccer played a better game of football than FIFA, despite FIFA’s reputation for being more arcadey. Here’s what the eager gamers should know. Thankfully for them, there are a few ways to play the game sooner. However, some fans simply cannot wait until October. Developer EA has announced a slew of new features for the latest iteration. Gamers are usually experts at a variety of game offerings ranging from video games such as the upcoming FIFA 2022. For traditional gamers, playing games that has a lot of techonological modernity is a big plus, and they enjoy more enhanced video games. We shall examine the major differences between the two titles this year, as well as whether eFootball will be more successful than PES in dethroning FIFA from its football stronghold. The phrase was originally used in the game a few seasons ago – but there’s bound to be some misunderstanding among the new players. FIFA 22 vs eFOOTBALL are now in competition.įor seasoned PES players, eFootball will not be technically new. In 2022, the format will be somewhat altered, with Konami dropping the PES moniker in favour of eFootball.

If you feel you have the stomach and risk tolerance to dive into the world of penny stocks, there are several approaches to doing it the right way. Some companies with penny stocks have promising potential, and others that seem to be in bad shape could be looking at major comebacks. However, that doesn’t mean every penny stock is steeped in schemes. If you can’t find anything about the company’s earnings and other crucial financial information, you probably want to keep your money away from that firm. With that said, it’s not surprising why certain companies may want to keep their financials hidden from potential investors. Some companies selling penny stocks are either struggling or facing legal trouble. This makes it hard to research a company, which is an essential part of investing wisely.

For instance, many companies with penny stocks don’t even have to report their financials or register with the U.S. This means companies with penny stocks don’t need to follow the same strict rules as companies listed on the big exchanges. Moreover, penny stocks exist on the over-the-counter (OTC) market rather than large stock exchanges like the Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). This move eventually causes the price of the stock to plummet. When the rise in demand elevates the stock price, traders sell the undervalued stocks for a profit. They then hype up, or “pump,” the potential value of the stock to get inexperienced investors excited. When this happens, traders purchase stocks at very low prices. Over-promotion of penny stocks may signal a “pump-and-dump” scheme.
