11/13/2023 0 Comments Monterey sceneryThey went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had the best chance of seeing whales and other marine animals. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about marine life. If you're visiting Monterey, California and looking for a memorable experience, I highly recommend going on a whale watch tour with Monterey Bay Whale Watch. Overall a wonderful playground for all ages. However, there would most likely be plenty of street parking. I imagine parking may be harder when there is a ball game happening at the attached ball field. There is a decent amount of parking but only a small bike rack. Mainly the areas where a more traumatic fall would occur, there is the rubbery, flat material. Majority of the play area is covered with mulch with the exception being some of the areas around the actual play structures and slides. This definitely helps ease anxiety for those with a runner or multiple kids since it helps to keep them contained. The entire playground area is fenced with only 1 gate for entrance and exit. There are also a few swings.īeyond the playground itself, there is a small pond with paddle boats for rental, picnic tables, and a small skate park. There is a rock climbing wall, a suspension bridge, water fountain, various things to climb on, a boat/water play area for smaller kiddos, two very large play structures, a roller slide, a small hedge maze with a lookout tower, and this rotating/spinning play structure that is like a crazy and modern take on a merry-go-round. It has a little bit of everything and clean restrooms! My kids, 7,5,&3, love coming to this park. We smiled as wide and laughed as hard as the kids who were also transfixed. We stood watching them nap, clamour over each other and brawl a bit for probably a half hour. Should note that the sea lions piled up on the shore right at the entrance to the wharf were a delight. We did enjoy the salt water taffy we picked up on our way out from one of the candy stores that sold it individually rather than in $15 bags. Will update my review if we find ourselves here again. Saw some gorgeous views available from within the restaurants and certainly seafood here would be □□□. I do think that if we had been more in the mood for a tourist trap and feeling spendthrift our experience would have been different. We scrolled through reviews for the restaurants on the wharf and did not think any of them seemed worth spending the money they were charging. A quarter of the store fronts were boarded up and pricing on the food was incredibly steep, even at grab and go style spots. My husband (who usually abhors tourist traps) has enjoyed it in the past so wanted to bring me for the first time in September 2022. I have the sense that The Old Fisherman’s Wharf is struggling post pandemic and with inflation. It is a great place to build awareness of the wonders of the marine world and our need to conserve them. I really enjoyed myself and glad for all they do there for the preservation of ocean life. Keep in mind parking will come at a premium with many all day spots nearby for $15. There is also a coffee bar where one can buy coffee or espresso drinks for under $5. They have a large cafe with excellent choices for grabbing lunch at a reasonable cost. There are a couple of places where one is allowed to reach in to touch and feel the animals. Some exhibits made me wish I was a little kid because I was much too tall to fit in some of these. Many special exhibits are designed especially for kids to play with and adventure around in. This is a great place for little children. I took the time to sit in on one of the free 15 min videos presented in their auditorium. The Kelp forest and otters are the two main attractions. There are several exhibits throughout the whole area encompassing 3 floors. A beautiful aquarium with majestic views of Monterey Bay.

When this reaction is portrayed as the right idea, or at least reasonable, then it's a case of Know When to Fold 'Em. Contrast with Line in the Sand, when all characters on a team are given the option to leave. May happen as a result of a Not What I Signed on For or Won't Do Your Dirty Work moment. One of the ways in which a character may choose to Opt Out. In more comedic examples, this moment usually occurs when someone (usually the Only Sane Man) senses that something idiotic or ludicrous is about to happen and thus opts to sit out of the ensuring chaos, not wanting to get themselves involved. If the upper crust of a given society does this in response to a major crisis, see The Elites Jump Ship.Ĭompare Dirty Coward, which is when someone abandons their allies when they need them the most, or just aren’t willing to face a tough situation in their lives, so they flee from it. In many cases, the character(s) end up getting killed or (in crime and mystery stories) arrested despite their efforts to abandon the whole mess. When the character is playing a game, this moment can overlap with a Rage Quit. The allies who have been abandoned might inform their ex-friend that nobody can leave alive. The character may abandon their allies only to quickly return (or not). In more dramatic examples, this moment can precede a betrayal, where the frustrated character decides that working with their enemies is the best course of action. In cases of danger or abuse, this sort of reaction can be the only way to get out safely or even at all. In many cases, they're shown to be immature and selfish at best, rudely leaving everyone else behind just because they felt like it- even if their reasons for leaving are proven to be valid or at least understandable. What's less varied is the portrayal of the character. On the other hand, such a moment can also be comedic or light-hearted, where the character just up and leaves on a whim and doesn't hurt anyone else by doing so. Something that may leave the other characters (and audience) feeling betrayed. This is about the dramatic unplanned moment when a character abandons their friends/allies/coworkers/etc. So, when the situation just goes beyond what they're willing to put up with, deciding to leave can be a powerful statement. They might even just be bored out of their skull. The situation they find themselves in might have devolved into something so utterly Sick and Wrong or just downright weird that walking out immediately is the only way they feel they preserve what little remains of their dignity and/or sanity. They might be stuck with people that infuriate or annoy them, and be expected to stay with them for the whole story. They might be thrown into a dangerous situation, where they'll most likely get slaughtered by their enemy. Sometimes, a character is pushed just a bit too far. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Gylt gameIts mechanics might not be remarkable, but Gylt’s themes are impactful and its presentation is memorable and engaging. As Stadias first contact, it works like a charm. Puzzles, stealth missions and action await you Gylt is a survival horror video game developed and published by Tequila Works. Its Tequilas more mature game, both in the narrative as in the playable and technical side, but it may feel a short game and not a very challenging one. Follow our guide to complete all the quests: puzzles, picture walkthrough Immerse yourself in the world of Gylt, a narrative adventure taking place in a small imaginary mining town in Maine. Her life is not easy, and it has become even worse since her little cousin Emily disappeared. The story: Live the story of Sally, a little girl living in Bethelwood. That would be true if the game was longer than its five-hour running time. GYLT is an adventure that, under the paradigm of an survival game, invites you to think about a real horror, the bullying. The game: GYLT is a narrative adventure game with puzzles, stealth and action, set in a fictional old mining town in the state of Maine. It would be easy to complain that Gylt doesn’t go deep enough in any direction or layer enough complexity on its basic systems. While it looks like a modern storybook tale, Gylt deals with some pretty intense subject matter that many can relate to. It doesn’t specify which platforms the game will become available on, but it’s a relief to know that one of Stadia’s few original gems won’t be lost to history. Gylt is not an especially system-taxing game. Tequila Works has confirmed that it plans to make Gylt multiplatform in 2023. While I didn’t play the game on Stadia, the port to PC and consoles means that framerate drops or other hiccups are largely absent. Velasco’s score ranges from intimate orchestral textures to suspenseful atonal cues. They’re supported by detailed environmental sounds and perfectly effective music by veteran composer Cris Velasco. Live the story of Sally, a little girl living in Bethelwood. The game’s writing, dialogue, and voice acting are all very good. Gylt is a narrative adventure game with puzzles, stealth and action, set in a fictional old mining town in the state of Maine. Like the best animated fairy tales, Gylt is a combination of appealingly rendered, stylized characters and ominous yet familiar environments, mixed with a darker visual subtext in the margins. There are at least two aspects of Gylt that are unassailably successful: its art and sound design. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Flowerbomb vs flowerbomb nectarSniff Tests are the personal & professional opinions of Nathalie Atkinson and Dave Lackie.

The Garden of Monet at Argenteuil by Claude Monet.The Poppy Field near Argenteuil by Claude Monet.San Giorgio Maggiore at Dusk by Claude Monet.Following the death of her estranged husband, Alice Hosched married Claude Monet in 1892. In April 1883 they moved to Vernon, then to a house in Giverny, Eure, in Upper Normandy, where he planted a large garden where he painted for much of the rest of his life. From the doorway of the little train between Vernon and Gasny he discovered Giverny. In 1881 all of them moved to Poissy which Monet hated. In the spring of 1880 Alice Hosched and all the children left Paris and rejoined Monet still living in the house in Vetheuil. They were Blanche, Germaine, Suzanne, Marthe, Jean-Pierre, and Jacques. After her husband (Ernest Hoschede) became bankrupt, and left in 1878 for Belgium, in September 1879, and while Monet continued to live in the house in Vetheuil Alice Hosched helped Monet to raise his two sons, Jean and Michel, by taking them to Paris to live alongside her own six children. Both families then shared a house in Vetheuil during the summer. In 1878 the Monets temporarily moved into the home of Ernest Hosched, (1837-1891), a wealthy department store owner and patron of the arts. Pregnant with her second child she gave birth to Michel Monet in March 1878. His extensive campaigns evolved into his series' paintings.Ĭamille Monet had become ill with tuberculosis in 1876. During the early 1880s Monet painted several groups of landscapes and seascapes in what he considered to be campaigns to document the French countryside. He was 16 years old when he left school, and went to live with his widowed childless aunt, Marie-Jeanne Lecadre.Īfter several difficult months following the death of Camille on 5 September 1879, a grief-stricken Monet (resolving never to be mired in poverty again) began in earnest to create some of his best paintings of the 19th century. Boudin taught Monet "en plein air" (outdoor) techniques for painting. On the beaches of Normandy in about 1856/1857 he met fellow artist Eugene Boudin who became his mentor and taught him to use oil paints. Monet also undertook his first drawing lessons from Jacques-François Ochard, a former student of Jacques-Louis David. He first became known locally for his charcoal caricatures, which he would sell for ten to twenty francs. On the first of April 1851, Monet entered the Le Havre secondary school of the arts. His father wanted him to go into the family grocery store business, but Claude Monet wanted to become an artist. In 1845, his family moved to Le Havre in Normandy. On, he was baptised into the local church parish, Notre-Dame-de-Lorette as Oscar-Claude. He was the second son of Claude-Adolphe and Louise-Justine Aubree Monet, both of them second-generation Parisians. The term Impressionism is derived from the title of his painting.Ĭlaude Monet was born on 14 November 1840 on the fifth floor of 45 rue Laffitte, in the ninth arrondissement of Paris. Claude Oscar Monet (14 November 1840 C 5 December 1926) was a founder of French impressionist painting, and the most consistent and prolific practitioner of the movement's philosophy of expressing one's perceptions before nature, especially as applied to plein-air landscape painting. 11/13/2023 0 Comments Order facundo eximoWe can also provide you with an estimate of the quantities you need to order based on the number of attendees.

11/12/2023 0 Comments Paul forrest orbis internationalI thank the Orthodox Churches which have arranged to send their representatives, and among them I thank in a special way dear Metropolitan Damaskinos, who is representing my beloved brother, the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I. I thank them for having come to take part in our praise and supplication. The joy of this celebration is made even greater by the participation of our other Christian brethren. I greet Cardinal Henryk Gulbinowicz, Archbishop of the Church in Wroclaw, which has taken on with such generosity of spirit the task of hosting the great event that is this Congress. I greet the Polish Episcopal Conference under the Presidency of the Cardinal Primate. I extend a special greeting to all the Cardinals, Archbishops and Bishops who are here, beginning with my Legate to the Congress, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, my Secretary of State. Through her representatives the universal Church is present today at Wroclaw. My eyes and heart embrace the whole of our great Eucharistic community, the character of which is authentically international, worldwide. All of this gives a particular eloquence to this Eucharistic Congress, and especially to this Statio Orbis. Here there meet in a certain way the spiritual traditions of East and West. It is, as it were, a city of encounter, a city that unites. Wroclaw is a city situated practically at the meeting point of three lands which through their history are very closely united to one another. The Archdiocese of Wroclaw is getting ready to celebrate its millennium. The Congress is taking place in Wroclaw, a city rich in history, tradition and Christian life. The Church in this way wishes to give thanks to Christ for the gift of freedom regained by all those nations that have suffered so much in the years of totalitarian oppression. The changes that have taken place here have begun a new era in the history of the modern world. In the series of Eucharistic Congresses which crosses every continent it is now the turn of Wroclaw - Poland and East Central Europe. So could this year have lacked this Eucharistic profession of faith by the whole Church? In the programme of spiritual preparation for the Jubilee, this year is dedicated to special contemplation of the Person of Jesus Christ: "Jesus Christ, the one Saviour of the world, yesterday, today and for ever" (cf. This Congress is part and parcel of the context of the Great Jubilee of the Year 2000. The Eucharist is the heart of the Church! It is the Eucharist that gives her the strength to grow and to be united. The Church lives by the Eucharist, she draws from it the spiritual energy to carry out her mission. Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy Sacrosanctum Concilium, 10). The Eucharist is the source and summit of the Church's life (cf. Truly, "having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (Jn 13:1). She wishes, before the whole world, to make once more the solemn profession of faith in the Eucharist and to sing the hymn of thanksgiving for this ineffable gift of divine love. The 46th International Eucharistic Congress now reaches its high point: the Statio Orbis! Spiritually gathered around this Altar today is the Church in every continent of the globe. 11/12/2023 0 Comments Oops sushi and sakeThe supply chain masters at Nami Nori have perfected the art of fancy delivery hand rolls. Ryan: Robert! I have a solution for your gummy seaweed. The sushi is of the mildly innovative sort, with dabs of this and sprinkles of that and the fish is some of the freshest you’ve ever tasted, with assortments priced from $25 to $60. Marks (yes, the middle one): At Osakana, a satellite of a famous Brooklyn sushi bar, customers pick up their sushi in what looks like a science lab, and no, they can’t sit down since it’s to-go only. The best sushi takeout I’ve found is hidden on a quiet block of St. That’s why if you want to carry out sushi you’d better eat it right away, even if it entails standing on the sidewalk. Let’s face it, in the time it takes to deliver your sushi, the fish often becomes tired, the rice finger loses its stickiness and falls apart, and any nori that may be involved becomes damp and gummy. Robert: There is a slew of sushi delivery places around town, many of them no better than ghost kitchens. Best takeout/delivery: Osakana, Nami Nori And every meal ends with a heart bowl of chicken guk-su noodle soup. In the style of kimbap, Shim eschews traditional sushi vinegar, seasoning his rice instead with aromatic sesame oil and daikon. Imagine: Scallops with dressed with makgeolli vinaigrette, mackerel with black vinegar jelly, and soy-braised galbi wraps. There’s surely not a single other New York omakase spot tearing up the traditional sushi envelope like Mari, which finds its niche with a cross between Japanese temaki and Korean kimbap. Chef Sungchul Shim (Kochi) only serves more sustainable bigeye, and often offers just a single piece - as part of spicy tuna roll topped with crispy potato crisps. Ryan: Tired of eating bluefin tuna three or more ways at every other omakase parlor? Mari is the place for you. Wildcard/creative: MariĪ caviar salmon hand roll at Mari. So what follows is an account of some of our favorite sushi meals at multiple price levels. The 2011 documentary Jiro Dreams of Sushi, in turn, energized and educated a customer base that wanted to appreciate sushi - without dropping an entire paycheck on dinner. But in the nearly two decades since that aristocratic venue opened, scores more high-end sushi venues have opened, some of them run by capable Masa alums, others having arrived from Japan and elsewhere. Once upon a time, Masa was the big-deal operator, and Michelin continues to navigate under the delusion that the Deutsche Bank Center restaurant, where dinner for two will top $2,000, is the country’s best sushi spot. But here’s the saving grace: While New York’s best sushi will always trend in an expensive direction, you don’t have to spend an iPad’s worth of funds on an omakase date to have an incredible meal. It’s an absurd reality, fueled by supply chain issues, labor costs, and let’s be honest, plain old-fashioned greed. The going rate for a top-tier New York sushi meal is $400 before sake. |
