The song “Hotel California” is considered by many to be one of the greatest rock songs of all time it was ranked number 49 on Rolling Stone‘s list of “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. The album further established the group as the most successful American band of the decade, making the Eagles household names. ![]() The album was ranked number 37 on Rolling Stone‘s list of “ The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time“. “New Kid in Town” and “Hotel California” both topped the Billboard Hot 100, and “Life in the Fast Lane” reached number 11 on the charts. The album yielded three Top 20 singles, “New Kid in Town”, “Hotel California”, and “ Life in the Fast Lane“. The album was nominated for Album of the Year but lost to Fleetwood Mac‘s Rumours. The album topped the charts and won the band two Grammy awards for “ Hotel California” and “ New Kid in Town“. alone and over 32 million copies worldwide. The album became the band’s best-selling studio album, and their highest, with over 16 million copies sold in the U.S. It is also the last album featuring original bass player and singer Randy Meisner. It is the first Eagles album without the appearance of founding member Bernie Leadon and the first album with Joe Walsh. Wasted Time is a song that appears on the album Hotel California, which is the fifth studio album by the American rock band the Eagles, released on December 8, 1976. Hotel California (Eagles Cover Band) doing a great cover of the song. Gov’t Mule doing a great cover of the song in 2009. Live recording of the song from the 2000’s. If you have never heard this song before, I think you will really like it. This song represents failure and endurance at the same time and is a very powerful song indeed.Īs a side note, this album came out and was topping the charts when I was born into this world so I feel a great sense of closeness with this song and this song in particular. The lyrics to this song are very well done. In order to finally find the person she wants to be with, she must be by herself for a while longer. The dichotomy of “together” and “alone” also express that the relationships, although they represented the togetherness the girl desires, weren’t the right ones. ![]() To achieve that success we desire that always seems like it’s taking too long in coming, sometimes we have to stop trying. As Marilyn Monroe once said, “good things fall apart so better things can come together”.Īnd by the line “to keep it together, we got to leave it alone”, he means that we can’t try too hard in our pursuits. Although it’s unfortunate, sometimes success comes at this price. If you never experience failure, you never learn how to succeed. However, the point the singer is trying to express is that even though the outcome of these relationships wasn’t successful, that doesn’t mean the time was wasted, as hard as it may be for the girl to accept in her current emotional state. She’s wasted so much time on relationships that she feels weren’t worth the investment since they failed her, and she’s weary at the prospect of wasting any more. The girl in the song has experienced many such failures, and has become disheartened by them. You devoted time getting to know someone and sharing yourself with them, and it seems that it’s all for naught, because that person no longer desires your company in that capacity. When we’re in relationships that fail, and the grief of that failure is still fresh, it’s easy to view the time you spent with that person as “wasted”, because the relationship ended. Here is what I think the song is talking about: ![]() It is a song that is filled with emotion. This song is slower and has a sad feel to it. If you want to buy it, you can order it here. It gives a lot of great insight into the band and the highs and lows they experienced along the way. It is one of the best music documentaries I have ever seen. If you have not had the chance to check out the music documentary History of the Eagles that was released earlier this year, I would strongly recommend checking it out. I have always had a special interest in B-side music and I am especially fond of this one. Todays song is a song that is a lesser known song on the best album the Eagles ever put out.

'To boost spaciousness, reserve your lightest shades for the highest points, like wall cabinets, and use deeper hues below eye level to ground the space.’ Then use lighter tones over the rest of the cabinetry, enhancing and contrasting with the core statement tone. ‘Use the boldest color on the focal point of the kitchen, perhaps a decorative cooker hood, a kitchen island or an impressive double pantry. ‘Choose no more than three colors and think about where you’d like to draw attention,’ advises Tom Howley, design director, Tom Howley. Also choose bolder colors such as rich greens and yellows and raspberry reds as they can be easier to work with, rather than paler candy colors that can sometimes come across as insipid if they aren’t quite right.Painting cabinetry in varying tones is a sophisticated way to differentiate without descending into chaos. ‘Choose colors that come from the same tonal family or have the same depth of color, even if they are different ends of the spectrum, this will help them work together.

But choosing the right shade can be a thorny task when you’re faced with everything from soft rose pinks to peachy tones.

This improves the world generation of the map and provides a realistic environment and better quality of what it really looks like in real life. New World Generation Stamps, such as Craters, Mesas in Deserts, and much more. New Universal Tree Root Ball, and is installed on the trees, basically the roots of the trees and better improve the trees than it was in the usual Alphas. New Environment with new grass, new landscape in Alpha 20. What things are being added and what to expect from the items, all the items are new and will come to Alpha 20.Īlpha 20 has new Block Materials and now are HD - basically the texture of the materials are more improved. The Nurse Zombie does the same damage as any other zombie, and could be feral - you can do anything to kill the nurse, it can spawn in any biome, but mostly in military bases, hospital, or a building. The Traders have been redone, and what your able to do is do quests to earn more Duke Coins and able to purchase more weapons, food, durable weapons and more related items, Alpha 20 will include more quests, such as Restore Power Quest, and much more. They oftenly spawn in the Wasteland, but they can appear in any biome - Zombie Cop can inflict a lot of damage in one hit can can also inflict damage on you when the cop spits green toxic waste on you - it's recommended using a long range weapon to kill the zombie cop. The Zombie Cop can appear later in-game when having a higher Game Stage - and could appear earlier in hordes. The Vulture can dive and can possibly do greater damage and give you all kinds of side effects - they can appear in hordes and in later hordes they can spit out toxic green waste on you, they can also appear in any biome, this Vulture can be very annoying when near it or being attacked or killed by, I would have a durable weapon or a long range weapon to kill it, they can sore in the skies. They can possibly appear in all biomes, but maybe underground buildings, or on surface. Its recommended to take caution and try to kill the Spider Zombie, it can also give you side effects. Spider Zombie is a new zombie, the original Spider Zombie is still there and will come to Alpha 20, the newer Spider Zombie can possibly inflict more damage than the original Spider Zombie, it can be fast, jump long distances, and surprise attack. Screamers can spawn a lot when you have a moderate or high Game Stage, and can possibly start a wandering horde. The Screamer can call for nearby zombies, its best to kill the Screamer first with a melee weapon - if using a firearm, it could attract more screamers and more zombies and firearms aren't recommended if Screamers are starting to appear. Screamer can attract zombies and can spawn due to heat, Heat Map is when something that easily attracts zombies, like Torches, Forges, Workbenchs, Firearms, Tools and etc, LED lights, or Light Bulbs doesn't attract heat around the Screamer. They can appear in all biomes and oftenly can be in any building. Zombie Solider is a heavy armored zombie, and can inflict damage, since it has armor, its recommended to use Armored Piercing ammunition when around one, if you don't have the type of ammo or a firearm - use power attacks on the solider with a durable weapon. Zombie Dogs are usually in the Burnt Forest, or the Wasteland Biome - its best to avoid it at all costs, if failed, defend yourself. Zombie Dogs are very fast, and can easily kill you - its best to get something that can do serious damage to the dog, if you don't have one, go away from the dog as possible, they can also give you side effects and since it's a fast enemy, kill it before it catches you, and also take high grounds, like a giant rock or a car. ![]() Also, when entering the Burnt Forest, you'll receive more XP than you usually earn the Forest Biome, same goes as the Wasteland, Burnt Forest, Desert and the Snow Biome - all the biomes can possibly double your XP. Otherwise, take caution around the Burnt Zombie and the Burnt Forest. The Burnt Zombie has been redone - and will spawn in the Burnt Forest Biome, and it could also appear in blood moon hordes - they can inflict damage and can give you side effects, such as burning, concussion and etc. The game now has almost all the zombies HD and completely done and reimagined - and also also more will be shown in the Sections ahead.Īll the zombies previously will be the same damage as in Alpha 20, but I could be wrong, some zombies can have powerful attacks against you - leaving you in critical condition. ![]() I guess the choice to either let her die or have her fantasize about reviving the hotel can be seen as Rachel's ghost either achieving revenge on Nicole's family or changing her mind and instead believing in the idea that everything can go back to the way it was before. That's why all throughout the ending Nicole says she doesn't want to die but still turns on the car. TL DR: Rachel's ghost can physically interact with the world around her, and as a result it's likely she's the one who took possession of Nicole's body to bring her to the church on day 8 and would later force her to lock herself inside her car to get revenge. When you get to the attic, the blackboard with "murderer" written on it turns around on its own, as does the door in the room where you find the camera crew's equipment. On day 8 when Nicole wakes up in church not knowing how she got there, she says she only experienced sleepwalking once as a child and never again until she came to the hotel. I didn't like the game's script either but some of the stuff you say "doesn't make sense" actually does within the game's narrative. I wish they would have thought about the other characters as well. I just wish, they would have given the story more careful thoughts and more details. ![]() Although the overall idea is great and I am not opposed to tell a story about suicide! In this story to me nothing really adds up. In a good thriller the audience is deceived and surprised many times, but all this has to make sense. I would have understood, if she suffered, if a dpressed, insecure Nicole would have arrived at the hotel, a woman tortured by her past, but she seems to be so fine that it came as a surprise to me, but not as a good one, not as a delicate plottwist, but as unrealistic as it could get. And now, even after everything is solved, the brave young independent woman Nicole wants to kill herself, too. What the heck? No hint, no nothing, he just the brother and after finding out the truth he kills himself. Hey, we have a plothole - ok, let's make Irving Rachels brother. the discovery that he is Rachels brother makes it seem that he is the rabbit jumping out of a hat. Her father is dead, her mother is dead and Irving, Rachels brother kills himself. Then, when Nicole remembers all of that she wants to kill herself? Rachel is long dead. ![]() But we know so little, that everything about what leads Claire to the final deed seems far streched to me.Īnd in the end, she left Leonard anyway with Nicole. ![]() Did Claire love Leonard so much? What was at stake? Yeah sure. For a grown woman to murder a sixteen year old it takes something. How did she find out about the affair? Waht kind of person is Claire? What makes her in the end murder another human being, a sixteen year old? Was it out of the blue? Did she plan it? As we know so little about Claire it just does not add up, in my opinion. Was it a real love story? Was it plain abuse? The story leaves it so far open to the point where I have the feeling, the creators are undecided themselves and this is never good.Īnd there is no further explanation about Claire murdering Rachel. And then there are hints, which make this love so uncomfortable to take in, like the retainer Rachel is still wearing or "her" room in the hotel basement - the room of a child, not of a teeanger. The love for the stars, shared feelings for being an outsider in the worlds they live - Leonard, the astrophysic in a hotel - Rachel, maybe an atheist in a deeply religious family - at least something like that, but there is nothing except the claim they were in love and this is thin. we knew more about Rachel, if apart from beeing dyslexic, there was something, they had in common. This man falls in love with the sixteen year old Rachel. How he ended up in the hotel stays a bit unclear, maybe due to marrying Nicoles mother who knows. He seemed to be a very clever and educated man with a master degree in Astrophysics. We read her mothers letter in the beginning, where she tells Nicole to give the money she gets from selling the hotel to Rachels family, which seems to me quite awkward at that point, but it becomes clear near the end why she demands it.Īnd we get to know Leonard, Nicoles father, through some details she finds on her way through the hotel. Slowly she discovers the truth about Rachel, while wandering through the old hotel. She seems to be, judging from the dialogues, a brave and selfconfident young woman. Although I liked the atmosphere and the hotel itself very much and I was intrigued by the character development during the dialogues, the story makes no sense to me.ĭon't read further, if you havn't played the game yet.

Read on to match the above techniques with the artwork and other castings we’ll discuss! Piece molding is also conceived for multiple-use casting. This process employs a number of different molds, each creating a section of a more complex (and normally larger and more valuable) casting. As opposed to single-use waste molds, which are destroyed in the process of removing the casting from the mold, the bi-valve molds can be used several times. In this technique, a casting is made using two molds, one for each half of the object. Here are two simple techniques to give you an idea of the casting basics, although there are countless processes, in varying degrees of technical sophistication. ![]() They might be found in a foundry (a factory that produces metal castings). Some important pieces of equipment include a kiln and furnace. There’s a whole global industry run by skilled mold makers and sculptors who create the tools and machinery necessary for making molds. To help remove the casting from the mold, a release agent, or a chemical used to prevent other materials from bonding to surfaces, is usually needed. What you end up with is a solidified object also known as the casting. The liquid hardens or sets inside the mold, adopting its shape. Casting is the process of shaping liquid or a pliable material (this might be plastic, glass, metal, clay, epoxy, concrete, plaster or many other options!) is poured into the mold (or matrix). of The Dental Cosmos (1912) Photo credit: Internet Archive Book Images via Visual Hunt What is a Mold?Ī mold is a block that contains a hollow cavity in a desired shape.

And increasingly, contemporary artists see them as the work of art in and of themselves.īut these processes also play leading roles outside of fine art, and support areas as varied as scientific research and mass manufacture in the automotive industries. In the world of art, the techniques of mold making and casting have served as tools by sculptors and other artists: in both studies that lead to the final form of an artwork, or as a means of reproducing an artwork.
