We understand he didn’t literally mean he cried so much that he flooded his room and set his bed afloat. For example, when David wrote in Psalm 6:6: All night I make my bed swim I drench my couch with my tears… he used a poetic literary form. We must understand the Bible literally according to its literary context. Some portions of the Bible give a historical account, others are poetic, and some are prophetic. The Bible is much more than a book it is a library of books, and books written in different literary forms. We believe the Bible must be understood literally, that is, as straightforward and true according to its literary context. We are also confident that what He chooses to tell us is profitable and useful for us.ī. We can only confidently know about Him what He chooses to reveal to us. We can study God, but we can’t put Him under a microscope or test Him in a laboratory. We believe what is written in 2 Timothy 3:16-17: All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. We come to the Bible believing it is the place where God has spoken to man, perfectly and comprehensively.Ī. In the view of many (including the author), this argument from purpose and design remains unanswered by the atheist or the agnostic.

![]() ![]() ![]() Portland breweries including Little Beast, Baerlic, and Gigantic had already begun shuttling beer around the city, but West, a former computer programmer, took it a step further. He decided to keep his bar staff employed by turning them into delivery drivers. Nat West, the namesake founder of Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, closed his North Portland taproom just before the shutdown. “We'd say, 'Look what's going on in Portland: There's a bunch of incredibly wonderful things happening because people are putting these brewpubs in.' They just didn't want to do it at that time, but now they'd be more open to it.” Special delivery “We'd talk to property owners, we'd show them our business plan and we'd show them our capital, and they'd say, 'Oh, I don't want to cut a trench drain, I don't want to do this to my facility, I don't want to do that,'” Taylor says. At the time, there were just three active breweries in Hillsboro ( Vertigo, Ambacht, and McMenamins' Cornelius Pass) and only two in neighboring Beaverton (Cascade Brewing founder Art Larrance’s Raccoon Lodge, which was later known as the Lodge at Cascade Brewing, and an offshoot of McMinnville’s Golden Valley Brewery.) Suburban beer snobs had to schlep into Portland to sample most of the city’s beers. It's a big change from just a decade or so ago, when Alan Taylor, brewmaster for Portland's Ascendant and Zoiglhaus Breweries, first visited Hillsboro to scout a location for Zoiglhaus. Even those that aren't building brick-and-mortar locations have found a booming market for their beer on the shelves of Washington County supermarkets and convenience stores, and via home delivery from DoorDash-style services. GN ships direct to homes in 12 states and has multiple locations in Portland, Seattle, and Northern California.Please visit to learn more.A growing number of Portland's flagship breweries are settling down in the city's populous western suburbs, a trend that's accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. ![]() GN has won numerous Gold and Silver medals, including accolades at World Beer Cup, GABF, Best of Craft Beer Awards, and Oregon Beer Awards, as well as the #1 IPA in America from Paste Magazine.

The brewery plans to kick off the food program with artisanal charcuterie and cheese boards, among other items from local purveyors. Initially, hours of operation will be Tues-Thurs 12-9, Friday 12-10, Saturday 11-10, Sunday 12-7 and closed Mondays. Great Notion’s Berkeley location will be 2,000 sq ft with a rad patio.

In an interview with The Guardian in 2017, she recalled the late ’90s as a soul-destroying period in which casting directors continually blew her off. Watch any video about their creative partnership and you’ll easily notice the mixture of gratitude and respect radiating off of Watts. While it (happily) didn’t turn out to be Lynch’s last feature or actual magnum opus (that’d be Twin Peaks: The Return), Mulholland Drive feels like a grand summation of the director’s long-running themes and ideas about emotional and psychic instability, even as it twists and bends them into an exhilarating new configuration.īy casting the then mostly unknown Watts in the lead role of Betty Elms in Mulholland Drive, Lynch simultaneously made a star and a friend for life. Which is probably why his ninth feature checks so many boxes on the auteur scorecard, from the Hitchockian blonde/brunette dichotomy between Naomi Watts and Laura Elena Harring-shades of Laura Dern and Isabella Rossellini in Blue Velvet-to the surreal criminal headquarters seemingly modeled on Twin Peaks’ Black Lodge to the persona-swapping imagery that’s straight out of Lost Highway. If Lynch is drawn toward the same types (and archetypes) in movie after movie, it’s not out of laziness or a lack of inspiration but a helpless devotion to his own artistic compulsions. Great directors are repeat offenders, and their recidivism is unconscious. Given these beginnings, it’s easy to see why the resulting cinematic salvage job-mostly financed by French producers before premiering at Cannes in 2001-turned into such a sour allegory of L.A.’s assembly-line creative process, imagining a movie industry haunted by violence and despair and overrun at its highest level by thugs and know-nothings (one of whom is very particular about his coffee). ![]() Originally written and shot as a 90-minute pilot, the project first enticed and then alienated ABC executives in interviews, Lynch recalled how one suit with his finger on the green light watched the first cut standing up at six in the morning with coffee in hand. The smashed television set that inaugurates Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me served as a ready-made symbol of Lynch’s disillusionment with the prime-time establishment, which is why it was so odd that he tried to hook up with ABC on the first incarnation of Mulholland Drive. ![]() On the 20th anniversary of this inexhaustible masterpiece, here are 20 reasons to love it-or maybe 20 attempts to describe exactly what it is. ![]() In the two decades since then, Lynch has produced other significant work, but Mulholland Drive still looks like the summative triumph described by Ebert: a movie that works equally well as a gateway into the director’s oeuvre or a culmination of his obsessions and fetishes. When the film was released in October 2001, it proved to be a surprisingly potent box office force, grossing $20 million worldwide and spawning an online cottage industry of essays and explainers showing viewers how to make sense of its fractured, intractable narrative. “David Lynch has been working toward Mulholland Drive all of his career,” wrote Roger Ebert, a longtime skeptic of the director’s neo-surrealist style and methodology. Two years later, though, Lynch returned to mind-fuck form with Mulholland Drive, a Los Angeles–set story about an aspiring actress trying to help a beautiful amnesiac rediscover her identity while showing the town’s power brokers that she’s ready for her close-up. In 1999, David Lynch released The Straight Story, a road movie that was also a detour into G-rated territory as signs of the impending Y2K apocalypse went, the guy behind Eraserhead working for Disney was suitably ominous. ![]() ![]() The adjustable footrests only complete the remarkable comfort of the JoyRide.īehind the seat is the watertight, oval, quick-lock hatch that provides easy access to your gear. The thigh protection and seat padding are made from a quick-dry material, which adds to the overall seating quality of the Perception JoyRide 10. However, if you plan on spending a whole day inside the kayak, you will appreciate some additional lumbar support. The backrest straps adjust the support angle, providing ergonomic comfort. It features a thick and comfortable base seat with leg-lifters that you can dial in for the perfect, almost reclined position. Thigh protection padding on the rim is supported with the Zone Deluxe adjustable seat. Additionally, the dashboard includes two Solo Mount recesses for adding custom gear such as GoPro, portable electronics holders, even swivel rod holders if you’re into kayak fishing. The design enables two-level height adjustment onto the engraved notches allowing taking pictures off the cockpit or selfies at the “right” angle. ![]() The patent-pending “Selfie-Slot” where you can place your phone is a novelty. Starting with the innovative dashboard, Perception integrated a two-stage bottle holder, two small-item slots where you can keep a sunblock or similar necessities. The generous cockpit measures (LxW): 51″ (130 cm) x 23″ (58 cm), offering plenty of comfort and features. It features two molded carrying handles at the bow and stern. Perception JoyRide 10 comes with many innovative features that make this boat in many ways unique among the kayaks in its respective class. After the mold cools down, you get a one-piece, leak-proof construction that is extremely rugged and durable. The process involves pouring beads of polyethylene into the mold, which gets heated up and slowly rotated so that the material fills up every nook and cranny. Perception makes their kayaks from a proprietary High-Density Polyethylene material using the company-specific, one-piece rotational molding technology. ![]() It significantly reduces its abilities and performance. Be careful not to load the kayak with more than 80 percent of the total loading limit. That said, if you are leaning onto the heavier side, or used to bringing heavy gear on your journeys, JoyRide may not be the most suitable boat. This is due to the integrated bulkhead in the stern. Compared to the Perception Drift 9.5, even though slightly longer, the Joyride handles 25 lbs (11.34 kg) less gear. Having a maximum of 227 lbs (125 kg), the JoyRide carries less load than some of the similar kayaks on the market. It doesn’t take up much room in the garage and is easy to carry. The JoyRide is portable, relatively light, and reasonably manageable for loading it onto the car. Perception’s JoyRide 10 is a compact kayak. ![]() RELATED: 8 Best Kayaks for Kids in 2021 Size and Weight If you’re looking for a durable and confidence-building kayak, let’s talk about Perception JoyRide 10.

Though decidedly not a project for the inexperienced tinkerer, has made all of the design files available along with the software. As one can see in the video after the link, the system seems to work pretty well, with a negligible number of fatalities among company employees. The basic movement control for the system is handled by an Arduino Mega, while the talking and vision aspects are taken care of by a Raspberry Pi 3+, which ultimately also makes the decisions about how to move the system. The theoretical speed of a launched dart is over 100km/h, with 18 darts per gun and a fire rate of 2 darts per second. The wheels are powered using quadcopter outrunner motors that spin at 25,000 RPM. It also comes with four Nerf guns which use flywheels to launch the darts. While the 2017 version took a mere 50 days to put together, the whole project took about 300 hours of 3D printing. Originally based on the miniature 2014 turret (covered on Hackaday as well), details this new project in a first and second work log, along with a detailed explanation of how it all goes together and works. Since that build made it to the finish line back then with not all features added, he finished it up for the CCC camp 2019 event, including the ability to close, open, target and shoot Nerf darts. What better way to count down the last 7 weeks to a big hacker camp like SHA2017 than by embarking on a last-minute, frantic build?

Specifically, not only adult carp but also juvenile carp (less than 150 mm in length) have been found at the Yayoi site. There are differences in the length distribution of carp excavated from Jomon and Yayoi sites, as estimated from the size of their pharyngeal teeth. In addition, pharyngeal teeth of all six subfamilies of the carp family living in Japan today, including carp, have been found at the Awazu lakebed site ( 粟津湖底遺跡) dating from the Middle Jomon Period (5500 - 4400 years ago). For example, pharyngeal teeth of the extinct species Jōmon Koi ( Cyprinus sp.) as well as the present species of carp ( Cyprinus carpio or Cyprinus rubrofuscus) have been excavated from the Akanoi Bay lakebed site ( 赤野井湾湖底遺跡) in Lake Biwa at the end of the Early Jomon Period (11,500 - 7,000 years ago). In addition, numerous carp pharyngeal teeth have been excavated from Jomon and Yayoi period sites. In Japan, Miocene fossils of the carp family ( Cyprinidae) have been excavated from Iki Island in Nagasaki Prefecture. Carp are coldwater fish, and their ability to survive and adapt to many climates and water conditions allowed the domesticated species to be propagated to many new locations, including Japan. Various carp species were originally domesticated in China, where they were used as food fish. The most popular category of koi is the Gosanke, which is made up of the Kōhaku, Taishō Sanshoku and Shōwa Sanshoku varieties.Ĭarp are a large group of fish originally found in Central Europe and Asia. Some of the major colors are white, black, red, orange, yellow, blue, brown and cream, besides metallic shades like gold and silver-white ('platinum') scales. ![]() Several varieties are recognized by the Japanese, distinguished by coloration, patterning, and scalation. There are many varieties of ornamental koi, originating from breeding that began in Niigata, Japan in the early 19th century. Koi is an informal name for the colored variants of C. In recent years, there has been a trend to distinguish the East Asian Amur carp ( Cyprinus rubrofuscus) as a separate species among the common carp, so the scientific name koi may be changed in the future. Koi ( 鯉, English: / ˈ k ɔɪ/, Japanese: ), or more specifically nishikigoi ( 錦鯉, Japanese:, literally " brocaded carp"), are colored varieties of the common carp ( Cyprinus carpio) that are kept for decorative purposes in outdoor koi ponds or water gardens. Several koi swim around in a pond in Japan. ![]() |
