![]() I ended up interviewing the band in the tour bus and I found out they truly do live the “hillbilly lifestyle”–moonshine, old trucks, country music, and more. I have to say, hanging with the “Fearless Hillbilly Boys” is like hanging with the beer guzzling Canadian comic duo The McKenzie Brothers or perhaps Larry, Moe, and Curly if they were Swedish metal heads. The lighting was still not favorable so we all ended up in the men’s room. I must be in a parallel universe.” We usually see American bands playing viking metal or pagan-influenced music but not vice versa.Īlthough I was unable to see them perform (I watched the videos on YouTube later and was really impressed) I decided to interview the band called “Fearless.” I needed to find a well lit place and decided to take some photos in the hallway. He said, “Ve are frum Sveden and ve are HILLBILLIES!” I thought, “Wait! This can’t be happening. I was floored when I heard a distinct foreign accent and the gentleman said the band was from Sweden. When I walked into the nightclub, waiting to see The Maension perform, I started to chat with one of the ZZ Top Doppelgangers. During The Maension’s interview I could hear the vibrations from a bass amp and muffled music. I figured they were a local Southern rock band. They were wearing denim overalls and had straw hats on their head. I was getting ready to jump on The Maension’s tour bus for an interview session when I saw a few long-bearded, ZZ Top-looking guys getting ready to play inside The Brass Mug.

![]() With his lifeless body and closed eyes, it makes you think he's dead, even if he was just knocked out. ![]() What makes this part gut-punching is Buzz himself.The look in Woody's eyes - and Jessie's - that look of sheer, unadulterated horror of facing the prospect that his best friend could be broken. The scene where Buzz is running through the compactor area with Jessie in his arms, triumphant music playing - and then a TV falls on him.Knowing what is about to happen, they all shut their eyes seeing that they have no choice but to wait for the end.The fact that Woody is the last to realize what the toys are doing, as Buzz extends an arm out to him like he did at the day care, only for Woody to wordlessly take it this time.(Jessie realizes what Buzz is doing and turns to see Bullseye scared of the fire and trying in vain to escape, only for her to place a hand on his hoof to try to offer encouragement.)'' (Buzz just looks at her sadly and silently, hopelessly extends his hand.) There's a reason animator Tom Sito called it the best-acted scene in all of animation. The fact that they all join hands with nothing more than an exchange of helpless looks shows that they all know exactly what's going to happen. ![]() When they first fall into the incinerator, they try in vain to scramble out before accepting their fate with quiet dignity. What makes the scene sadder isn't just the fact that the characters are facing death, but the fact that they have no other choice but to do so.He seems to make amends with him during this moment, as he nods solemnly at him as if to apologize for dismissing him for years. Potato Head holds hands with his wife, but he also takes Rex's hand. And he's still doing that at the very end. It's then that you realize that, since the beginning, Woody has been the one keeping them all together. At the very end, when everyone else has someone close, in comparison, Woody is facing this alone. Sure, he was holding Buzz and Slinky's hands, but they were too far off for him to really get close.So, every toy was huddling close to another, or burying their faces in each other's shoulders (Buzz and Jessie, the Potato Heads), except Woody. When the toys were facing death together in the furnace, they seemed to break off into groups, depending on who was closest.Even after repeated viewings, tears will no doubt be shed. If anything, the trailer version of the scene is sadder than how it appears in the actual movie. Randy Newman's "Losing You" playing over footage of young Andy playing with his toys throughout the year perfectly evokes the heart-wrenching nostalgia one might have for the innocence of childhood. The first trailer alone can be counted as one of the saddest moments in the whole series.The end of an era.As the film tetralogy is emotionally powerful, Toy Story 3 in particular gets a special mention, in which it is so powerful that even hearing the story second-hand is enough to make one break down and weep. ![]() Make sure to select the Mp3 option in the blue bar below.

Now it's pretty old and so it's over 10 years old so you probably don't want a copy of it but I want to point out this is how I was able to get to the top in my field. It covers just scripting and calculations at an intermediate to advanced level. Early on in my career just after I left Claris I co-authored a popular book Scriptology. Again, there's tons of tips, tricks, articles, all kinds of stuff on there, all you have to do is type in. I get over 35,000 hits a day though mostly because people come for the free stuff. Of course I offer my consulting and training services there as well. I run a very successful website on the Internet, it's one of the most popular, there are hundreds of free tips, tricks, articles and techniques. And during that 5 years I also became the Technical Lead for FileMaker Pro working with development team and all sorts of people to make a better product basically. They're really the same company but Claris used to have a whole bunch of products like Mac Project, Mac Draw, Mac Paint and they got rid of those to focus in on the FileMaker product line. Now Claris is the company who owned FileMaker before FileMaker Incorporated. ![]() In the beginning of my career I started at Claris Technical Support, I worked there for 5 years. ![]() At the time of the recording there was no FileMaker 12 certification exam but there will be and I'll take it and hopefully I'll pass that. There is several hundred questions, it's very rigorous and there's only a couple of thousand people in the world who actually pass it. I'm certified with FileMaker 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 and the certification test is a test that's created by FileMaker Incorporated to test your skills as a developer. I've been developing and training exclusively with FileMaker Pro for 20 years, no other products, just FileMaker Pro. So let's take a look at some slides so you can learn a little bit about me. I want you to feel confident that the skills taught in this tutorial will help you become a successful FileMaker developer. My name is John Mark Osborne and I want to tell you a little bit about myself so you know an expert is teaching you about how to use FileMaker. ![]() However, those benefits are only realized when you’re getting a minimum of 5g BCAA. ![]() The three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine) are prized for their ability to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and prolong stamina during training as well as their pro-recovery benefits. Like other energy drinks, Hyde Power Potion is seeking to capitalize on the popularity of BCAA by including a smidge in their can. TaurineĪ nonessential amino acid primarily found in the brain, heart, and skeletal muscle, taurine serves a dual purpose as it supports cellular hydration, and also helps reduce mental fatigue, both of which help improve mental and physical performance, especially during intense exercise or mentally-demanding tasks. Tyrosine helps bolster focus and concentration, and since it enhances dopamine levels in the brain, also may improve creativity.ĭoses typically range from 350-1g of N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, but again, we’re not sure how much is included in Hyde Power Potion. This is a popular nootropic compound frequently found in pre-workouts, as tyrosine is a precursor to dopamine, and subsequently epinephrine and norepinephrine. N-Acteyl L-Tyrosine is an acetylated form of the amino acid L-Tyrosine that is frequently used in lieu of regular L-Tyrosine for its stability in solution and improved solubility of L-Tyrosine. Though, we do have to question if having such a hefty dose of caffeine is actually alienating more of ProSupps potential customers than it attracts as most people probably don’t want 350mg of caffeine all at one time, unless it’s pre-workout that is. Most other energy drinks on the market (Rockstar, Monster, etc) contain 250mg caffeine or less per full can, so ProSupps definitely isn’t playing around here. It’s not for the pixie-dusting of BCAAs (which we’ll get to next) or the sprinkling of cognitive boosters (which we’ll also discuss), it’s for the heaping helping of caffeine, and Hyde Power Potion is packing PLENTY.Įach 16oz can of Hyde Power Potion delivers a robust 350mg of caffeine, quite the lot when you consider that the only other big name energy drink with 300mg+ caffeine is VPX Sports Bang. Make no mistake, this is the reason you buy energy drinks. Yet another problem of proprietary blends… Caffeine To be realistic though, you need a minimum of 3g L-Citrulline to get the enhanced vasodilation, vascularity, and pumps from the ingredient, and we’re fairly certain you’re getting nowhere near that amount here. Great for a morning kickstart, midday pick me up or pre-workout option for energizing your training, HYDE Power Potion is a great choice for any scenario.” To quote ProSupps, “HYDE Power Potion was designed to be the ultimate versatile energy drink. ![]() Seeing it listed in an energy drink is certainly unique and gives credence to the idea that Hyde Power Potion could serve as a potent pre-workout. Hyde Power Potion Ingredients L-CitrullineĬitrulline is a well-known nitric oxide boosting ingredient frequently included in pre-workouts for its ability to generate massive pumps. Best flavor - Cherry Cola (and it’s not even close!).Flavors reviewed - Island Punch, Purple Mist, Cherry Cola.Includes undisclosed amounts of BCAAs, TeaCrine, and several nootropics including N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine, Choline Bitartrate, Taurine.We’ve got all three flavors of ProSupps new high energy beverage and will see if ProSupps has a potential contender on their hands for “king” of the energy drink market. One of the newest additions to the rapidly expanding energy drink market is Hyde Power Potion from ProSupps, makers of the high energy pre-workout Hyde and an insanely delicious MyBar protein bar.

Used as a replacement for everything from morning coffee to soft drinks, and even pre-workouts, the surge in energy drink consumption and availability cannot be denied.Īnd, it’s no longer independent beverage companies (i.e. Energy drinks have exploded in popularity the past few years. ![]() Tail Design Setting the posts square and plumb is a two-man job.Ī typical pergola design is to have the tails of all of the horizontal boards cut with a decorative pattern. On this pergola, the builder Ricky Chavez used 2×12 for the girders, 2×10 for the rafters, and 2×4 for a layer of decorative purlins fastened atop the rafters. Most builders use a minimum of 2×8 for the upper framing members, and that’s for a small pergola. Not only will it look weak to the eye, but it will sag over time. A 12-foot span is much too long for a 2×6 board, for example. You also have to consider allowable span based on the size of the pergola you’re building. With 2×6 posts, the girders and cross-members will need to be larger otherwise, the top of the structure will look undersized and anemic. The key to designing a pergola is its visual proportion. Follow this lead and use whatever bracing you need to assist the project during construction. Spend a little time on any rough-framing job site, and you’ll see all manner of temporary bracing and blocking at play. To help ensure a square, plumb, and rigid assembly throughout construction, take a cue from pro framing contractors and brace everything with temporary 2×4 cross-braces to bridge the posts (nailed into the sides). Realize that even after the posts are plumb, square, and set in concrete, they can still shift out of position. Damp soil conditions required the builders to fortify this post footing with extra gravel and concrete. The pergola shown in this article covered an existing concrete patio, and one of the support posts sat on the patio and was fastened to the wall of the house. Repeat this procedure for all four ground-supported posts. Once the post is plumb, the braces can be fastened by staking them to the ground (nailing the stakes to the brace bottoms). The braces are made of 2×4 boards nailed to two adjacent sides of a post and angle down to the ground to prop up the posts. It helps to have one man plumb and align the post while a second worker secures the bottom with concrete and attaches the brace boards that hold the post plumb while the concrete dries. Setting a tall 6×6 post is a two-man job. The posts are made of 6×6 treated lumber rated for ground contact. ![]() Using string along the face of the posts can help guide a square layout. Double and triple-check your measurements during installation. Compact the soil at the bottom of the post holes, add gravel for drainage, then secure the post bottom with concrete while ensuring the posts are plumb and aligned perfectly square with the adjacent post locations. Most pergolas are constructed square to the nearest building structure.ĭig the post holes according to the depth determined by your local building codes to get beneath the frost line in your area. Layout the post locations with stakes and string using the 3-4-5 method to ensure square corners. To integrate a pergola into the existing landscape, they’re usually built square to the house or the nearest structure. Make sure the post material is rated for ground contact. For anything larger, though, the 6×6 stock will not only offer a beefier look and greater carrying capacity, but 6×6 also resists the twisting associated with the more spindly 4x4s. For a very small pergola with only 4 to 6 feet between posts, 4×4 supports will work. To adequately support the lumber overhead as well as give the pergola a sturdy look, you’ll probably need to use 6×6 for the support posts. Typically built of treated lumber, cedar, or redwood, they are fairly simple structures in design, but you should keep some basic building practices in mind to ensure the construction of a pergola lasts for years to come. Pergolas are generally constructed with four support posts connected at the top with rafters and decorative cross-members. A pergola offered a good solution to decorate the patio and mitigate the heat and brightness of the shining sun. The hot tub was exposed to direct sunlight, however, which can get overbearing at the height of a sweltering Alabama summer. The rear patio of the homemade is a nice place to congregate, complete with a fire pit, ample seating, and even a hot tub. That was Steve and Blakeney’s reason for adding a new pergola to their backyard. They can vary in size and design to fit different landscapes and have the added benefit of breaking up the sunlight (but not too much) in areas of the yard where people like to relax and entertain. Pergolas have long been popular additions to a home because they add style and character to the outdoor living space.
