![]() ![]() Once we strike the circle, we’ll automatically zip line over to Bridget’s room. The circle will start flipping when we draw our arrow back, for some reason, so we want to shoot when it’s either still or slowing down. We want to hit the little circle right at the top of the window. You also need a bow and arrow to launch the line and then slide down it, so the bow and arrow that we won at the safe house comes in handy. Nancy’s like, “Sure, I guess,” because here she is, getting peer pressured by a terrorist group.Īnyway, the real reason we came up here is because Ewan gave us a zip line, which we can use to zip over to Bridget’s room. Well, actually, they just say “the station.” Because there are so few of those in Glasgow. We get another phone call from Revenant, asking us to cut the lines on the trash compactor at the train station. Wait, that’s 60 Fahrenheit, right? 69 Celsius seems like it would be…a problem.īack at our room, Carson’s sent us Kate’s copy of the Jabberwocky poem. ![]() There’s a thermostat that’s currently set at 69 degrees (lol), that we’ll have to mess with later. Some of the aisles are blocked off, so we’ll have to solve a puzzle to get to those. We can go over to the server room, where I’m sure lots of secret stuff is stored. I mean, maybe not so much with the “forcibly rewriting the rules of the world” idea, but they’re basically using a lot of fancy words to be like, “Revenant doesn’t like the way Scotland is being run right now, and they want to change it.” Revenant voted for Brexit, didn’t they?Īnyway, he tells us that Revenant is probably working on an approximation of the virus, so we want to be on the lookout for anything that might lead us to a lab. That…is what all coups, dictatorships, and revolutions are about. I don’t know why they have to be so cryptic about this. Nancy wonders why the Colony operation looks be starting up again - it is? - and Ewan’s like, “IDK, bro.” He muses that it’s part of Revenant’s long game, but what that game is, he’s not sure yet.Įxcept he does kind of know, because when we ask what Revenant wants, he says that they want to rewrite the rules of the world, and make it in their image. We ask for more information about the Colony operation, and he tells us that the idea was to use a biological weapon to incapacitate the city, then sweep in and take over all the positions of authority. ![]() Let’s go back to Ewan and talk about all the stuff we’ve found. We also find notes on the Colony Operation and this note in code. The Hardy Boys can’t even sneak into an office without getting beaten up, and you’re trying to tell me they might be involved in international spy shit? I’d let Bess steal secrets for me before I asked the Hardy Boys. We find files on Nancy’s friends - Bess, George, and Ned’s are fairly boring, but the Hardy Boys’ are mostly blacked out, and they imply that the Hardys are ~*~involved~*~ in some way. Fucking Logan was a spy this whole time? My suspension of disbelief is SNAPPING. This right here was the exact moment I lost my ability to suspend disbelief. So the informant is someone from Shadow at the Water’s Edge, and the only person in that game whose name starts with an L was Logan. The most recent update is from Kyoto - an informant named “L.M.” has told Cathedral about Nancy’s weird obsession with nosing into Mama Shimizu’s death, and Cathedral muses that Nancy can be easily manipulated by dead family members. We find the file on us, going on about our mad detective skillz and “uncanny interrogation abilities.” Do they mean that we like to yell at our suspects and shame them with guilt until they crack? Because we’re really good at that. In fairness, Nancy was like eight when she died. We find out that Kate’s code name was “Harrier” (Carson is “Condor” and Nancy is “Kestrel”, and I will not be using any of these names because they are confusing and dumb), and she requested that Carson be allowed some access, and Nancy none at all. So we can access a bit of information that Cathedral has on us. Secret Agent Barbie is an excellent game.) It’s super dark, and full of Stereotypical Spy Shit (TM) - fake wigs and glasses, big computer screens that just have maps of the world on them, blah blah Secret Agent Barbie pulled off the spy angle better than this blah. Now that we’ve finally met Ewan and figured out - kind of - what we’re doing here in Scotland, we can explore the secret spy base. We met a clingy Scottish chick who might be up to something, a particularly good finder who is definitely up to something, some old lady who got kidnapped for like five minutes but I guess she’s fine, and a dude who’s supposed to be protecting our life but mostly whines about how he wishes he had a cooler code name instead. Previously on Nancy Drew: The Silent Spy: We landed in Scotland to investigate the mystery of Kate Drew’s death, and immediately found out that ~*~nothing is what it seems~*~. ![]()

Butler was famously called the best trash-talker in the league by NBA veteran DeMarcus Cousins, something that he only recently proved might be right. I told him I'll start scoring more goals when he starts winning some faceoffs. We get there with about 8 guys and just say "Well, I guess this is everyone who feels like they deserve the wife they have"Īnd the other was when we went out to celebrate the youngest kid's 21st birthday (and my line's center) and he was talking about how we need to work on a power play and that he thinks I should score some more goals. It's an adult league, there's two 'kids' on the team and everyone else is in thier 30s at least. That said I think the most memorable locker room topics that came up was 2 recent times:įirst one was we had a game on Valentine's Day, like 7:30pm Valentine's Day. Granted he's played a higher level of play than I ever will. I feel like he's expressing a lot of the same experiences and feelings about the game I've had. I needed players to come after me in order to stay motivated. I was just about to post this actually, I tracked down his articles on the hockey news (one other place as well?) and his blog and I've really liking the majority of his writing. Last June, Avery told the Players Tribune: To keep my job. If you liked that article you should check out his blog I've been reading it for a while now, guys a pretty good writer. I'm injured and have to play a lower level of hockey than I am used to while I wait for our pathetic health care system to "Get around" to fixing my ACL and performing a Menisectomy on my left knee. Talking trash can be a fun way to engage with your opponents in a competitive setting, most commonly individual or team sports, or online when playing games. The Team I just abandoned was the exact same, what is it about Vancouver and these leagues with retard teams full of idiots that can't properly chirp or trash talk!? Was a lot better when everyone actually was able to play the game. Really is annoying to hear, so I stick in the corner, get dressed quickly and quietly and go play. According to his peers, Marchand is the best trash-talker in hockey. You never get brought down to earth because no one in the room gets it from someone else. Brad Marchand is both the best and the worst at what he does. The problem there lies that because these guys don't know the game very well, can't play the game very well, and aren't dedicated to the game, the chirping turns to racial slurs, attacking friends outside the room, other teams, girlfriends and just blatant abuse of everyone they think they're better then. Most of the time its funny, but recently a lot of teams I've been on I haven't really known anybody, and they're usually terrible hockey players. ![]() ![]() “A posture collar is a longer, thicker collar that’s designed to encompass the neck and further restrict movement and mobility,” explains Vala Syn, professional Dominatrix and BDSM and kink educator.įor example: Strict Leather Locking Posture Collar or the Padded Locking Posture Collar with Leash. The “D” is usually capitalized to signify the power of the Dominant’s position, while the “s” is usually in lowercase. It has a Velcro closure so you can easily - and quickly! - take it off if you’re aren’t feeling it.ĭ/s is often used as shorthand to describe a relationship where someone leads (the Dominant) and someone follows (the submissive). “For submissives, it can feel emotional or even romantic to wear one,” she says.Ĭurious? Consider this Beginner Leash and Collar Set. “They can signal that the people bestowing and wearing the collar have started a BDSM scene.”Īnd for some D/s couples, they serve a similar purpose as wedding rings: to signify a commitment to the relationship. “Collars are part of the visual accoutrement of BDSM and are worn by a submissive,” says Queen. “Make sure you can slide a finger in between the device collar and the throat to avoid damaging pressure.” Collars Safety tip: “Neck gear can fit relatively snug against the throat, but it shouldn’t be too tight,” says Queen. ![]() Many Dominants outfit their submissive’s isolation hood with earplugs, blindfolds, or a gag to intensify the level of submission.įrom aesthetically signifying “ownership” in a BDSM dynamic to restricting breathing or movement, there are a few types of neck gear. Isolation hoods are designed to block out all sound from the outside world. Typically, puppies wear hoods like this Puppy Hood with Bendable Ears or this spike Neoprene Puppy Hood. Puppy play is a subset of the BDSM community that involves some folks taking on the personality of either a primal or fun-loving puppy and others taking on the role of “owner.” Many, like this Disguise Open Mouth Hood with Padded Blindfold, restrict what the wearer can see. Some, like this Black Spandex Hood and this Rubber Slave Hood, have eyeholes. Bondage hoodsīondage hoods (sometimes called “bondage masks”) are a type of fetish gear designed to cover the head of one person ( the submissive!). Hoods can be used for extreme sensory deprivation or to help someone get into a role for a particular scene. But don’t let it be your only research on how to use them correctly and safely.įor that, pleasure-based, queer-inclusive sex educator and sex positivity advocate Lateef Taylor recommends hiring a Dominatrix, watching A LOT of online tutorials, or going to Impact Play classes at your local sex shop. ![]() Let this guide introduce you to and teach you a bit about kinky toys you may never have heard of before. In fact, Finn says, “Because consent and safety should be top of mind with any sexual interaction, RACK is good practice to integrate for all types of sex.” Whether you consider yourself a long-time participant in the BDSM scene - or just want to dip your bits into the world of kinky sex toys - this principle should guide your use of these toys. ![]() The gist behind it is that all the participants involved in a certain sex act (sometimes called “scene”) are aware of the potential risks involved and will do what they can to mitigate those risks. In BDSM - that’s bondage, discipline, sadism, and masochism - there’s a guiding principle known as RACK, which is an acronym for risk-aware consensual kink, says Lisa Finn, a sex educator at sex toy boutique Babeland. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ewan McGregor plays a sleazy, self-obsessed crime lord who's like a glammed-up Sam Rockwell Chris Messina, cosplaying as Pat Smear, plays his henchman.

The storytelling wants to be as unconventional as Harley, but the fractured way it unfolds makes a tale that is already difficult to connect with even more off-putting. She can't and viewers can't either from the madcap dullness of "Birds of Prey," which is reminiscent of 1995's "Tank Girl," another throw-everything-at-the-screen-and-see-what-sticks comic blunder.ĭirected by Cathy Yan from a screenplay by Christina Hodson ("Bumblebee"), "Birds of Prey" unfolds with a scrambled narrative where the pieces are all out of order, like a puzzle that was dropped on the floor and reassembled haphazardly. Either way, sandwiched between Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix's incarnations of the character, Leto's quickly faded from memory. She was paired opposite Jared Leto's Joker, a surface-level take on the iconic "Batman" villain that was either destroyed in the editing room or doomed from the start. "Birds of Prey" plucks Margot Robbie's spirited Harley Quinn from 2016's "Suicide Squad," a thoroughly bad comic book misfire in which Harley stood out as the only character with moxie. The problem is that unless handled correctly, crazy is rather unruly, and unruly is no way to build a world. But is that all she is?Īpparently so, and "Birds of Prey" - full title: "Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)" - wants to be as unpredictable and zany as its heroine. That's the message that "Birds of Prey" hammers, and hammers, and hammers home so many times that by the 20-minute mark it becomes a dull, plodding thud in the front of your brain. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here’s a video discussing what may happen when too much caffeine is consumed: Consuming more than 400mg of caffeine can lead to the following health issues: Also, it’s the recommended maximum intake of caffeine by the FDA.īang energy has 300mg of caffeine which is only 100mg less than the recommended caffeine intake.

I will describe the processes of Kim's role making/taking with three other heads of state – Moon Jae-in in South Korea (hereafter SK), Donald Trump in the United States, and Xi Jinping in China – through the lens of Confucian IR. To illustrate the value of a composite agenda of relations and roles, I will use Kim Jong-un of North Korea (hereafter NK) as an example. I will first discuss the Confucian ‘state of nature’ and its sensibilities to strangers, compare it with the social contract tradition, and introduce the Confucian style of relations and roles. I mention gift giving and ritual/name-bestowing as two ways to explore and reproduce mutually agreeable roles in the Confucian relation. This is where role theory contributes to the study of Confucian relations. In contrast to relating by consensual rights and laws of nature, the Confucian relational theory of Tianxia (literally ‘all-under-heaven’), which argues that all living things are bound to be related without deriving a consensus on who/what they are, obliges all to improvise in order to fulfill the mandate of being related. ![]() In so doing, the resemblance denotes the prior relation, which obliges all to incorporate it into their self-identities and, hence, connects them. In the state of nature, a shared resemblance, in terms of the rights and laws of nature, constitutes all actors. Western IR and Confucian IR represent two styles of prior relations – the state of nature and Tianxia – and two styles of improvised relations – an interactive process that socialises alters into like members and that establishes the parameters of mutual acceptance regardless of the differences between actors. I argue that role making and role taking according to these types of relations can reveal how the two seemingly irreconcilable IR universes interact and coexist. In my comparison, both Confucian IR and Western IR have prior as well as improvised relations, similarly aimed at dealing with estrangement between actors. Different cultural preparations for these two relations partially explain plurality in the IR universe. With the support of role theory, my comparative analysis of IR universe mainly focuses on two different types of relations: prior rule-based relations and improvised relations. This article uses role theory to bridge the gap between Confucian and Western conceptions of International Relations (IR). Confucian relations propose that, for all nations, the necessity of having a certain role relation is a more important agenda than insisting on exactly what role to take. To illustrate the value of a composite agenda of relational theory and role theory, the article will use Kim Jong-un of North Korea as its case. ![]() Role theory is one way to reconnect the seemingly irreconcilable relational universes. The differences in the cultural preparation for these two relations partially explain the plurality of the relational universe and the perception of stranger. With the support of role theory, the comparative analysis of relationality in this article has mainly focused on two different types of relations: prior rule-based relations and improvised relations. This article uses role theory to bridge the gap between the Confucian and Western conceptions of relationality, whose practitioners regard each other as strangers. The literature on International Relations theory has yet to align relational theory with role theory, despite the fact that these two theories share so much epistemological common ground. ![]() ![]() ![]() 17/05/02: ccp4 does not make with pmake.12/05/02: linker fails with relocation error for gcc3.01/05/02: configure does not recognise host type.01/05/02: CCP4 configure script does not find libtcl.-/-/01: configure fails to recognise conditional substitutions.02/08/01: linker fails with relocation error.Whatįollows are MacOSX features, quirks, and bugs.
