![]() ![]() I know, I know I should not expect much from the horror genre, particularly a PG-13 90s horror film, but they didn’t even bother here. Even the documentary crew (pre-Voight) seem terribly unprepared. Voight’s hairbrained scheme is about forty steps too complicated to be logical. ![]() The weirdest part about this one is that the motivations of the characters don’t make a lot of sense. I think they made Voight a villain, so they didn’t have to utilize the snake as much to keep tension. Everything in this movie is just plot crap designed to push us towards more set piece moments where the CGI noodle will knock off another annoying character. They wanted to make a big blockbuster about a giant super-snake. There is an ambition in this film that I think we must appreciate. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that no research was done, but I was, I’m ashamed to say. Any anthropologist would take issue with the original project. Anyone with any background in zoology would laugh at this film’s incoherent and nonsensical approach to snakes. My notes for this film include “This fucking cast,” “Jon Voight’s fucking face,” “What the fuck,” and “Why the fuck?” My wife wanted me to mention that the fireflies are obviously Christmas lights, but of all the oddities in this movie I found this one to be less egregious. ![]() The show stealer is his fucking psycho face though: Not sure where to put this, but Voight’s accent in this movie is a mixture of Tony Montana and everything in Deliverance. He serves as the driving force to stop the search for the tribe and instead look for a big snake that would be worth a lot of money. If nothing else, the film is great because of the faces he makes. Voight owns this role and is clearly having a blast. However, the most important cast member, psycho snake hunter Serone (Jon Voight) comes on board after his boat is marooned. There are more characters, but who cares, right? Most of the rest of the crew serves as early fodder for the big ass snake. Terri (Jennifer Lopez) seems to be the organizer with her cameraman Danny (Ice Cube) and a Professor Steven (Eric Stoltz) will be doing the investigation. We follow an oddly star-studded documentary crew as they search for a hidden tribe in the Amazon. While we might all want to just trash this movie, let’s also remember this made about 150 million dollars at the box office. I remember thinking it was dumb when I saw it in theaters. ![]()

![]() You’ll want one made from a material that will stand the test of time and weather. Since a swing set is an investment, make sure the one you choose is built to last. Plus, many swing sets let you swap out certain swings and attachments once your kids get bigger and are able to do more things. Helpfully, most swing sets have age recommendations that will help guide you when purchasing. "Parents should make arrangements to be sure the equipment is age-appropriate for all children, or that children use different parts of the equipment that match their age." If they are too heavy for a swing set feature, it could collapse," Schwebel says. "If a child can’t reach a bar, they might fall. Six feet of open space on all sides is recommended for plenty of room to play.īefore purchasing, consider the age of the children that will be playing on the swing set to determine if the set is safe and entertaining for them, both now and as they age. By staying within these limits, your swing set will last longer and your kiddos will be safe while they play.Īdditionally, swing sets should be placed in locations free of overhead obstacles like power lines, tree limbs, or roof overhangs. Along with overall weight capacity, you'll also want to take note of the number of children that can be on it at a time. Most swing sets have a weight limit and some may need to be installed by a professional. They can be dangerous if they aren’t installed correctly, and it's important to follow all safety guidelines. Swing sets can be loads of fun, but they also need to be safe. Schwebel, PhD, the author of "Raising Kids Who Choose Safety" and the director of the Youth Safety Lab at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, about swing set safety. ![]() Additionally, we considered design features such as the number of swings and other attachments. To select the best swing sets for kids, we researched dozens of options on the market, taking safety, age-appropriateness, and durability into account. Key Specs: Dimensions: 25.6 x 25 feet | Weight: 432 pounds | Number of Swings: 2 swings and 1 trapeze | Material: Wooden set with plastic, rubber, and vinyl materials | Age Recommendation: 36 months to 11 years old | Weight Limit: 800 pounds The website includes a list of all of the tools needed for assembly. It’s delivered ready to assemble and will require an estimated 5 to 7 hours of construction time. The set is big and with the 6 feet of clearance space needed, check that your yard can fit something this size. While the swing set is an investment, it’s highly rated. Children can swing, climb, slide, and play on this big set that includes two swings, a trapeze, a built-in sandbox, a rope ladder and climbing wall, a wavy plastic slide, and so much more. The Gorilla Playsets Outing Wood Swing Set isn't just large and in charge, it earned our top pick because it's made for years of fun and can hold lots of kids. While reviewing products, we carefully considered design, value, assembly instructions, safety, product weight, and other features.Ī board-certified family physician on our Review Board also reviewed this article for medical accuracy and integrity surrounding the safety and age-appropriateness of swing sets. Since it is an investment, you'll want to make sure you are choosing one that will meet the needs of your family right now and in the future. If you have the space for a swing set (always make sure to measure your yard before buying one!), your kids can enjoy it for years to come. As they get older, supervision can be less intense, but caregivers should still keep an eye on them to make sure they're playing safely. Kids should always be supervised when playing, particularly younger kiddos, our experts say. When considering purchasing a swing set, make sure you're keeping your child's safety in mind. Plus, by pumping their legs on the swings, your little one can stay active, improve cognitive function, use their gross motor skills, and even burn off some steam before dinner time. ![]() There's not always enough time in the day to load up the car or stroller and take a trip to the playground, so it's convenient to have your own playset that your family can enjoy from the comfort of the backyard. ![]() From swings to rock walls to monkey bars, swing sets are so much fun for kids of all ages. ![]() ![]() But have you heard the less common term that they need skimming? So, I was only suggesting it as a possible solution for a similar fellow in a similar situation.You’ve probably heard people saying that they need their walls plastering. Bear in mind I had to mix it up as well and lay it on, but I ended up with the bottom layer going off with a few high ridges on it which then completely messed up the top layer as I applied itīut, like the OP, I had a tatty wall to do in a bedroom which had numerous different surfaces - bare concrete, paint, old plaster, etc., and after giving it two coats of PVA and allowing them both to dry, I applied a single thin coat of plaster and it went on like a dream. ![]() I did - once - try doing the 2-coat thing myself. I did only suggest this to the OP as a DIY-type way of doing it, and I'm not at all trying to say it's a better way - it clearly isn't. You are absolutely right on a number of counts! Yes, I do have to work hard as hell to get a good finish, and I practically drown the surface in water during the process (I use a hand sprayer.) You can, of course, ignore all that if you wish. Sod doing two coats - this was pure invention just so's pros could show-off it has no benefit in reality - it's a mere ego trip for plasterers.*Īpplying a single 2mm skim onto a dry-PVA'd wall is a dream. Apply your skim in - gasp - one thin (2mm-ish) coat. Right, the next hint is a cardinal sin - but if you answered the two questions above like I would, then proceed as follows. Use a good, known brand of PVA, and don't use waterproof type. The very top surface of the PVA re-activates slightly, and the skim bonds beautifully. ![]() When you let it dry, it becomes a superb surface to skim on to. Ok, I know it's meant to be tacky, but if you get it even slightly wrong, you'll be very unhappy. If you try to skim over still-wet PVA, then you'll find out why it's not a good idea (troweling on oil comes to mind). Ok, here's the easy bit - let it dry fully. The second coat can be pretty much neat, or thinned very slightly if it makes it easier to apply. Ok, are you a DIYer? Do you just want to be able to carry out the odd bit of skimming for yourself, or do you want to learn to do it like a pro? If the answers are 'yes', and 'odd bit', then read on.Īpply the PVA as described above - the first coat slightly thinned (read the instructions), and when fully dry, apply the second. ![]() I'm sure the Thistle Bondit mentioned above is great stuff, but you should get away with PVA if you want to go that way. Followed off with a good wash down using sugar soap. On really bad walls (I think 60's-70's paste must be particularly yucky stuff), I've had to spray a little water on to the walls, allow it to soak into the paste, and then scrape them down using a squeegee. I have found that any traces of old wall paper paste can be an absolute swine as it re-activates when anything water-based is applied to it - emulsion, PVA, etc - and it expands and can make your job a mess.Ĭertainly before painting, you'll have to thoroughly remove all traces - you might get away with it if PVA-ing instead, but it's a risk. I guess you've done the job now? If so, what did you do,and how did it go? ![]() ![]() ![]() They were both once part of the same friendship group but fell out as teenagers. Written by Murdered By My Boyfriend‘s Regina Moriarty, this six-part psychological thriller for S4C and Channel 4 is about a journalist obsessed by the murder of a woman from her own home town. It aired between Monday 2nd and Wednesday 4th of January on ITV and is now available to stream on ITVX. The script comes from John Preston, the journalist behind the book on which the BBC’s A Very English Scandal was based, with direction from Stan and Ollie director Jon S.

The opposite of an aptigram, these words or phrases form antonyms when rearranged.Įxamples: violence - nice, love funeral - real fun. Others call these particularly apt anagrams “aptigrams.” For example: Villainousness is an anagram of “an evil soul’s sin.” 10. Grambs uses the word transposal in this general sense, and anagram more narrowly to mean a transposal of letters resulting in synonymous term. The English word anagram goes back to 1589. ![]() AnagramĪ word or phrase formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase. Rebus has been used in English since 1605, when William Camden wrote, “They which lackt wit to expresse their conceit in speech, did vse to depaint it out … in pictures, which they called Rebus.” Popular in autograph books and on vanity license plates, rebuses include such classics as:ĭavid Grambs uses this term for a word or name made up of two identical parts, such as so-so, tom-tom or Pago Pago.

Scott Fitzgerald’s Gatsby as great, but in 1939 Ernest Vincent Wright produced the phenomenal Gadsby: A Story of Over 50,000 Words Without Using the letter “E,” a scarcely believable achievement considering that “E” is the most common letter in English. LipogramĪ written work composed of words chosen to avoid the use of one or more letters. Ouch! That mama roo is going to need a pouchlift after carrying around that brood! 6. This refers to a word carrying another word within it (without transposing any letters).Įxample: encourage contains courage, cog, cur, urge, core, cure, nag, rag, age, nor, rage and enrage. Here’s a semordnilap dieters can relate to: Stressed is desserts backwards. (Do you get the feeling that fans of word play love to make up words?) Semordnilaps (coined by Martin Gardner in 1961) are also known as backronyms, volvograms, heteropalindromes, semi-palindromes, half-palindromes, reversgrams, mynoretehs, recurrent palindromes, reversible anagrams, word reversals, or anadromes. SemordnilapĪ word or name that spells a different word backwards (notice what semordnilap spells backwards). Need more palindromes? Find a huge stash here. PalindromeĪ word, sentence, or longer written work that reads the same backwards.Įxample: A declaration facetiously attributed to Napoleon, “Able was I ere I saw Elba.” Weird Al Yankovic’s song “Bob” spoofs Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues” using a slew of palindromes. You may remember this one from typing class: “The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy sleeping dog,” but Willard Espy came up with a shorter and more interesting one: “Bawds jog, flick quartz, vex nymphs.” An abundance of pangrams, using some very obscure words or initials can be found here. PangramĪ phrase or sentence containing all 26 letter of the alphabet (ideally repeating as few letters as possible). IsogramĪ word in which no letter of the alphabet occurs more than once.ĭimitri Borgmann’s longest example: dermatoglyphics, the study of skin markings or patterns on fingers, hands, and feet, and its application, especially in criminology. But what do you call a word that spells another word backwards, or a word that looks the same upside down? When terms for these orthographic puzzlers didn’t exist, logolologists (such as the authors of the books listed below) were happy to invent some. If you love word play, you probably know that a word-or longer piece of writing-that reads the same forward and backward is called a palindrome. ![]() ![]() As long as you maintain this balance, you will be able to accomplish your Zenith goal.

It often arrives at a job site in a truck pre-mixed and ready to pour. The soil is applying sideways pressure to the foundation wall just as a heavy load applies downward pressure to a floor joist.

Here is your hipster link then: “ Great for storing and transfering data in a non-networking environment.“ That's right, they still sell them! Of course, the whole point of floppy disk art is cashing in on the irony that you have hundreds of them sitting around unused. If you are so excited that you really need to make this project so much you actually can still find them at your local office supply store. If you don't have any on hand try looking in the corners of your local computer lab, IT room, or creepy old shut-in. Still, that is a lot of floppies out there waiting to become nerd art. Those that are not in landfills are now mostly used ironically, or as coasters.
