![]() Point Reyes National Seashore has more than 150 miles of trails for hiking, running, bird watching, and on a few routes – biking. However, the surf and tides in this area are dangerous, and rip currents and under-tow waves can be deadly. The National Park Service says this beach expands over 11 miles (18 kilometers), making for a significant “out and back” workout. Miles of solo beach walks Point Reyes Beachįrom two parking lots (north and south beaches), a runner or long hiker can travel on the sand for many uninterrupted hours. Hiking from several trailheads will allow the explorer a different experience at each beach. The beach seems to go on and on here in both directions, but some rocky outcroppings in the north end of Point Reyes cut the beach into sections. McClure's Beach is also known for its tide pools and sea animals nestled among the rocks and swirling water. On my last visit with CT and her friend Denise, we hiked to McClure's Beach, explored the coast, and dodged the high surf in a nearly empty stretch of endless sand. Hiking down to McClure's Beach McClure's Beach ![]() Historic Pierce Point Ranch Hiking in Point Reyes National SeashoreĪfter arriving at the end of the road, a parking area allows visitors to stop and explore Pierce Point Ranch, hike down a short trail to McClure's Beach, or continue northward for up to 5 miles (8 kilometers) through herds of elk and the end of Tomales Point. I have never seen elk outside of the mountain states of Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, or Montana – so witnessing and photographing huge herds of elk along the beaches of California is a real treat. My first move when I visit Point Reyes National Seashore is to take Pierce Point Road to see the herds of elk and the historic Pierce Point Ranch. Part of the large elk herd we saw Tule Elk Reserve The drive to Point Reyes is half the fun, too, as the bounty of exotic and beautiful scenery north of the Bay Area is hard to beat. Located just an hour's drive from San Francisco in the United States, Point Reyes is a peninsula that juts out into the cold, windy, and usually foggy Northern Pacific Ocean. Point Reyes location map Where is Point Reyes National Seashore? Today, more than one-third of the land is set aside as wilderness, and the National Park Service administers the park. In 1962, commercial development began to threaten the beauty and uniqueness of the peninsula, so the United States Congress authorized Point Reyes National Seashore to protect scenery and animal habitat. Point Reyes National Seashore is truly a memorable trip, where a day can be spent away from the modern world in a peaceful and historical location.Ĭattle ranches and dairy farms have been operating in the area since the 1850s, and they're still going strong.ĭriving carefully is essential, as cows and their baby calves can cross the road in front of you. ![]() CT strides toward a cliff in Point Reyes National Seashore That morning was twenty years ago, and since then, I have returned several times. I did not know it at the time, but I had accidentally stumbled into what has become one of my favorite spots for a memorable day trip. On this morning, I randomly drove onto some deserted roads and lovely narrow lanes where I was in the only car for miles around. I chose to drive north across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge in the dark, loaded down with only my camera and an ambition to take some amazing photographs in a part of the world where I had never been. My intended destination when leaving the hotel on that autumn morning was undetermined. I thought it was a place where time has stood still for perhaps a century or more. On a cool and lonely morning, I watched emotively as the full moon set into a distant fog bank beyond the crashing waves in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Having only started producing in 2011, this producer has made it quite a way in a few short years, especially considering Antidote is a 2015 release. Eestbound has been creating dark beats that borderline between hiphop and RnB since 2014. This label, along with Epic Records, would release Antidote to the world, achieving a Top 20 placement on US Billboard Top 100.Ģ1 year old producer Eestbound, born Bryan Van Mierlo, is adding to the hard hitting Toronto sound, being the first artist singed to fellow Toronto producer WundaGurl’s (who co-produced this release) label imprint.

I guess, essentially I see “CAGED” as this - you have a series of open chords you can play in the first position, and each one of them, by filling in the spaces in the arpeggio that makes up the chord, can be thought of as an open position scale. Trying to write quickly here while brewing another pot of coffee in a work break, so I apologize if this is a little sparse. Some of this is extremely idiosyncratic, of course. I guess this is how I understand the CAGED system, and this is why, at the end of the day, I don’t find it terribly useful. Troy - like I said, it’s entirely possible I’ve just never gotten a good explanation of the “CAGED System” and you’re someone who I consider an incredibly thoughtful musician, so I appreciate your taking the time to weigh in here. I had no idea how to locate the notes of the next chord flavor / tonality in whatever spot I happened to be in. And if the chord changes, forget it, I was dead. I could play the E minor scale in all seven 3nps fingerings, but it was tons of memorization, and only resulted in any lick I knew sounding like a scale. ![]() TLDR you and probably everyone else are already “CAGED” players, and I really wish someone had showed me this when I was 15, when I all I knew was “scales covering the fretboard” but couldn’t improvise. So when we transcribed his licks, I actually named them that way, in terms of which shape they live near, because it seems clear that’s how he thinks. He said something like “I have certain positions I’m very comfortable with”, and then blasts out a few bebop licks that are all basically in the E-major barre chord area. In the case of Oz Noy he eventually said “i see the shapes” and in Olli Soikkeli’s case I eventually figured out that the word “position” is what he uses. ![]() It has been very hard to draw out the what they think about the fretboard in words since a lot of even really technical players like Oz Noy don’t seem to think about this explicitly, even though it appears to be what they’re doing. In the interviews we’ve done over the past few years, I’ve explicitly tried to get at this by asking players how they navigate the fretboard. I’d also point out that this idea of familiar shapes with licks loosely attached to them seems to be one of if not the only way the guitar is played in an improvisational sense. In fact, rather than move their vocabulary up the neck, grass players just capo and keep playing “open” C. In some sense that’s the most obvious form of CAGED there is, since they when they play the “C” shape, it really is a C chord, as opposed to just the C chord shape played somewhere else up the fretboard. Even if you never play the actual chord, you still know what area it exists in, thus you know exactly how to find the phrases.Įven bluegrass players, who live basically live in first position 90% of the time, have specific phrases for each open chord they play over. Knowing the chord type is how you quickly access phrases in the matching tonality without having to know note names or do “harmony math” in your head. Once you do that, learn chord progressions strung together where the licks connect, so that you can “play through the changes”. Now just do that for every chord and phrase type you know. You know how when you play the E-shape major barre chord, that’s also the location of the box position blues scale? So when yoy play the barre chord you can instantly jump into a blues lick in the same spot? That’s CAGED. The idea here is making it simpler for you to find on the fretboard the sounds you’ve previously conceptualized. The book is all about “control” over the fretboard, so it starts right away with exercises like: play all the possible intervals, in all possible pitchs, using different strings throughout so it makes you map all the simple intervals we often take for granted like octaves, fifths and fourhs but also the more “annoying” ones like minor and major seconds. If you don’t see value in that type of knowledge, I suggest a method called “The Advancing Guitarrist” by Mick Goodrick - maybe it’ll change your mind. Think of it as a mean for better chord previewing so you can play conceptualized sounds easier. This isn’t music theory, but it’s not a mechanical type of knowledge either. The CAGED system is meant for mapping all the possible triad voicings you can encounter on the fretboard - it’s a tool to increase control over the instrument. I’ve never run into an explanation of the “caged system” that has really sold me on it being of any value beyond just knowing a decent amount of music theory. ![]()
![]() They’re what the average American spends. Keep in mind, these are not recommended budget percentages. The 10 major categories for household expenses and their share of the total expenses for average Americans are: And remember, these are averages, so they could vary a lot based on the size of your household and the cost of living in your part of the country. But where’s all that money going? Let’s take a look at the 10 major categories of household expenses. No surprises here, right? The more people you have living in your home, the more you spend. For married couples with no kids, monthly expenses are $7,111.For single folks, the average monthly expenses are $4,337.The average monthly expenses for a family of four range from $7,875 to $9,168 (depending on the ages of your kids).But that dream comes with a pretty hefty price tag. ![]() Mom, Dad, two kids, one dog, a house and a picket fence-the American Dream. What Are the Average Monthly Expenses by Household Size? Let’s dig into the numbers a little more and see how household size affects average monthly expenses. Don’t settle for normal, because normal is broke, and the average, normal American spends hundreds of dollars a month on credit card and car payments. But when it comes to household expenses, below average is where you want to land. In school, in life and in business, being above average is great. 1īut if you’re budgeting and looking for ways to cut your expenses, don’t settle for average expenses. And they say the average monthly expenses for an American household add up to about $6,081. There are folks at the Bureau of Labor Statistics who keep track of what Americans spend on everything from cereal to housing. After all, if you have kids, you’re guaranteed to spend more on milk and cereal than Phil and Janice, the retired couple next door. News flash-everyone’s situation is different. As you look for ways to cut costs, you’re probably wondering, What are the average American’s monthly expenses? Is everyone spending this much on food? Money’s tight for just about everybody right now (thanks, inflation). You can see the above tables looks simple to make various combinations and assign them to any game server.īut let’s assume out of the 10 level 5 players, six of them are interested in DeathMatch at that point in time and only four players are interested in Capture the Flag Mode. Out of these 200 players, let’s assume we have these following characteristics Making 10 players in each game server with two opposite teams playing a match. Let’s assume we have 200 players logged in at one point in time and we can allocate 5 people in each team. But I’ll explain how we can create logic in OpenMatch to create groups of players and allocate gameserver containers on demand from the Agones system for different groups of players. I am not going to re-code the xonotic game to make it modular. These things needs to be stripped out of the actual game servers and make match-making logic out of the gameservers to enhance player experience. Player levels or experience is not considered to enable ideal matchmaking with similar levels or choice of game mode to create intense game matches.It doesn’t do any kind of matchmaking with teams and those public servers are always sitting idle, less players are engaged in each of those servers.The xonotic executable itself has all the necessary configurations to run own server or join existing public game servers but still it lacks a strong community of players. There are many public servers already in the multiplayer menu in the xonotic game and it doesn’t seem much different than a standalone server. In the above step we only created one game server with a single container and we are the only player in the server. Let’s look at how these two open source tools from Google help us with this. This is what I embraced in games such as Tanki Online, which I used to play years ago and such strategies are followed in latest popular mobile games such Walking War Robots (it has more combinations of parameters though which makes it more interesting). We should also be able to create right teams as players login as quickly as possible and allocate a game servers to those ideal teams. Similarly high experience players will not find game challenging at all which is really important to keep players experience interesting. If your game allocations involve high experience players and low experience players in the same game session it is highly probable low experience players will find the game disadvantaging and will never comeback. Players ranking, experience and weapons are also important parameters. There are different Maps which has its own advantages and disadvantages in each game mode. For example, Deathmatch is where teams win when they make more kills, Capture the Flag is where teams win if they capture more flags. Xonotic has different game modes and almost every massively multiplayer online game would have something similar. Let me explain what I mean by combinations using parameters. I believe this would be the ideal game with minimum parameters (game modes and maps) to create different combinations for game players to create a game session for players in a multiplayer game scenarios. There are various weapons, game modes and maps. Xonotic is an arena style first person shooter game, you can either play in local mode or join any of the community servers to play online. I’ll use an open source game called Xonotic to explain how Agones and OpenMatch can embrace similar kind of games among more players communities. This would enable us to enhance player communities. OpenMatch will help to customise the gaming community experience with match-making, ranking allocations among players and game strategy choice. Here’s how the Google tech addresses these considerations.Īgones Game Server will help to run game servers at scale managing the cost and low latency allocation of game servers as containers in Kubernetes. When running Game Servers, one needs to consider running them at scale, optimising cost and enhancing the experience of players with quickest game server allocation, ease of matchmaking and strong player community. Google, through its initiative, has released two open source frameworks for running gaming platforms at scale in Kubernetes.Īt the Google Cloud Summit Sydney in 2019, the Kasna team demonstrated these two tools to the crowd, and here we share what we created. ![]() Kasna cloud engineer Sai Maduri elaborates on a kube demo running Agones and OpenMatch that he built for the Google Cloud Summit Sydney.Īs we all embrace Kubernetes for its extensibility and open source community, now it’s also enabling gaming platforms under its hood. ![]() While working at Xerox PARC in the early 1980s, he invented the basic cut, copy, and paste commands we still use today, as well as several other industry-standard processes and terms.Ĭheers, Larry, and thanks for everything.

I think this is why gimp does not include a tool to specify the exact coordinates. Reducing the number of alignments (guides) helps you getting a cleaner design. One of the design principle is that you should have things align in your whole project. Gimp will give you a hand with the exact pixels. Drag down (starting from the left ruler) a guide to the X coordinate you want.Drag down (starting from the top ruler) a guide to the Y coordinate you want.Repeat the procedure for another horizontal or vertical Guide (you can also do more guides to specify width and height)Īlternatively, you can also create the guides dragging from the rulers:.Specify if you want and horizontal or vertical guide.Anyway, the best (correct) approach is with guides: It is simply not the appropriate way of aligning elements when you are designing, though I recognize that sometimes it is useful as a short-cut. I am afraid that Gimp doesn't include it because it is tedious. ![]() So, skip the defrosting hassle and make your next chicken dish with frozen chicken breast in the air fryer.
