This repo can be included as a submodule and provide its utilities to any project, without introducing a bunch of duplicated code. I’m planning to put this script and other repository utilities in a separate repo on GitHub. ( $< is set to the first prerequisite) Conclusion md files and invokes render-md-mermaid.sh.

![]() ![]() Last step is to paint and stain the carrying case. You could also just cut out a big notch in the sides as a handhold. There are many different ways you can add a handle. ![]() You’ll need smaller wood screws for the handle, preferably a black color. I had these black handles on hand and attached them to the side boards for lifting and carrying the box. I used a countersink bit so the screw heads would rest flush with the wood. I positioned my board and drilled two holes for the wood screws. These serve to complete the box and keep the blocks from falling out. The above photo, shows a close up of the rails. Just used 3 - #8, 1.5″ wood screws and screw those in from the outside boards into the bottom board. If you don’t have a Kreg Jig, no problem. I predrilled holes with a countersink bit. The rails take 4 - #8, 1″ wood screws for each rail. You can see the Kreg Jig holes and how I’ve attached the bottom board to the sides. In the photo above, I’ve assembled the carrying case and used 3″ by 21 3/4″ plywood as rails to complete the box. I simply used the pocket-hole jig to make 3 holes and then used the screws that came with my Kreg Jig to join the boards. With the bottom board and side boards cut out, I decided to use the Kreg Jig to attach the bottom board to the two side boards. I recommend using a table saw or miter saw to get nice square cuts, but use whatever saw you have at your disposal. The reason I mention this is because the lumber you purchase could have slightly different dimensions than mine. Take those measures (length X width) and adjust mine if needed. Part 2 – Making the Carrying Case Step 1 – Cut the Boards to Dimensionsīefore you use my dimensions, I highly recommend that you arrange YOUR blocks as they would fit in the box. I would allow the Danish oil a few days to fully dry, but the paint will dry faster. For the stain, she used a Danish Oil (medium walnut) and regular light-blue paint thinned with water to make it a stain. It’s a total of 48 blocks, so 16 stained, 16 light blue and 16 plain. My daughter decided she wanted some of the blocks to be stained and some to have a light blue color and some just plain wood. This will also improve the performance of the game by making it a little easier to pull the blocks out. 120 and 200 grit are sufficient for this step. We used an orbital sander to go over each block to smooth them out and get rid of potential splinters. Honestly, this was the most time-consuming part of the whole project. If you’re off by 1/8 of an inch or so, it probably won’t be that noticeable. Just use whatever saw you have to get a nice square cut and try to make the length of each block nearly the same. If you don’t have a chop saw, no worries. Once we knew the length of the block, we used a stop block to cut all the blocks an identical length. Photo 3 is the heart of the operation, if you have a miter saw or chop saw. So make adjustments to your block length accordingly since 2 X 3 dimensions may vary slightly from store to store. The length of each block 7 5/8″ comes from the measurement we took by putting 3 of the 2 X 3’s side by side (see photo 4). In the store, these boards are labeled 2 X 3 X 8, but actually they are 1.5″ by 2.5″ by 8ft. In the photos 1 & 2 above, you see my daughter cutting out the blocks for the Jenga-like yard game. Photo 1 Photo 2 Photo 3 Photo 4 Step 1 – Cut the Blocks ![]() I used a pocket-hole jig (Kreg Jig) to attach bottom board to the side boards, so I used the wood screws (6 total) that came with the Kreg Jig. And 6 smaller screws are needed for the handles and bottle opener. You will need at least 8 – #8, 1″ wood screws for assembling the rails. You can make the whole carrying case with the plywood. You can probably get by with 1/4 or 1/2 sheet of plywood. I used 3/4 inch plywood, but you won’t need a full sheet. Note that the actual measurement of these boards are 1.5″ X 2.5″ but they are called 2 X 3 in the store. I believe these are select pine so they have fewer knots. lumber and you’ll need 4 of those boards for the blocks alone. Your home improvement store should carry 2″ X 3″ X 8 ft. We also added handles and a bottle opener. To make it look nice, my daughter did a little painting and staining. Just cut 48 blocks of wood and build a simple box to hold them. Overall, the giant jenga-like yard game is a fairly easy project. I’m so proud of her and her artistic side and willingness to learn something new. Just to be upfront, my daughter helped me on this project and did 98% of the project. ![]() ![]() ![]() Admittedly, the popularity of poetry is difficult to judge. Given the pervasiveness of Frost’s lines, it should come as no surprise that the popularity of “The Road Not Taken” appears to exceed that of every other major twentieth-century American poem, including those often considered more central to the modern (and modernist) era. Scott Peck’s self-help book The Road Less Traveled: A New Psychology of Love, Traditional Values and Spiritual Growth, which was originally published in 1978 and has sold more than seven million copies in the United States and Canada. At least one of these was a massive international best seller: M. ![]() In addition, “The Road Not Taken” appears as a title, subtitle, or chapter heading in more than four hundred books by authors other than Robert Frost, on subjects ranging from political theory to the impending zombie apocalypse. Over the past thirty-five years alone, language from Frost’s poem has appeared in nearly two thousand news stories worldwide, which yields a rate of more than once a week. As one might expect, the influence of “The Road Not Taken” is even greater on journalists and authors. Its lines have been borrowed by musical performers including (among many others) Bruce Hornsby, Melissa Etheridge, George Strait, and Talib Kweli, and it’s provided episode titles for more than a dozen television series, including Taxi, The T w i l i g h t Zone, and B a t t le s t a r Galactica, as well as lending its name to at least one video game, Spry Fox’s Road Not Taken (“a rogue-like puzzle game about surviving life’s surprises”). In addition to the Ford commercial, “The Road Not Taken” has been used in advertisements for Mentos, Nicorette, the multibillion-dollar insurance company AIG, and the job-search Web site, which deployed the poem during Super Bowl XXXIV to great success. Its signature phrases have become so ubiquitous, so much a part of everything from coffee mugs to refrigerator magnets to graduation speeches, that it’s almost possible to forget the poem is actually a poem. It’s “The Road Not Taken,” and it plays a unique role not simply in American literature, but in American culture -and in world culture as well. Lucy Scholes’s column about forgotten booksīut this isn’t just any poem. Robert’s Frost’s Writers at Work interview ![]() Looking for something else to read? How about … For an audience of car buyers in New Zealand to recognize a hundred-year-old poem from a country eight thousand miles away is something else entirely. For any mass audience to recognize any poem is (to put it mildly) unusual. In the commercial, this fact is never announced the audience is expected to recognize the poem unaided. It is, of course, “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost. Here is what is read by a voice-over artist, in the distinctive vowels of New Zealand, as the young man ponders his choice: But there is one very unusual aspect to this commercial. And it is, in most respects, a normal piece of smartly assembled and quietly manipulative product promotion. The advertisement I’ve just described ran in New Zealand in 2008. As the car pulls away and the screen is lit with gold-for it’s a commercial we’ve been watching-the emblem of the Ford Motor Company briefly appears. The man smiles slightly, as if confident in the life he’s chosen and happy to lend that confidence to a fellow traveler. ![]() As a car slows to pick him up, we realize the driver is the original man from the crossroads, only now he’s accompanied by a lovely woman and a child. The series resolves at last into a view of a different young man, with his thumb out on the side of a road. As he hesitates, images from possible futures flicker past: the young man wading into the ocean, hitchhiking, riding a bus, kissing a beautiful woman, working, laughing, eating, running, weeping. He pauses, his hands in his pockets, and looks back and forth between his options.

Infernal Impact focuses on the number of Tieflings, Anarchy Amplified works with Chaotic Champions, and Flawed Force counts the number of Champions with a total ability score of 78 or less.

Those flaming spheres can cause even more damage depending on which Specialization Nixie chooses. ![]() But occasionally it's time for a FIREBALL!!! This ultimate, gigantic fireball engulfs all enemies on the field, burning them to a crisp. That's the risks that come with being a Wild Magic Sorcerer.ĭespite the unpredictability of her magic, Nixie is always ready to launch a flaming attack on her enemies. Some surges cause a bonus effect on the battlefield, like engulfing enemies in flames, creating a coin cascade, summoning a random monster, causing a stunning shockwave, or enlarging both her size and her damage! But sometimes she'll turn into a potted plant, or her skin will turn blue. With her Blazing Charisma she gleefully increases the damage of other charismatic Champions, but every spell cast is a chance to cause a random Wild Magic Surge. Nixie is sparkly, cute, and uncontrollably deadly! She delights in jumping into the throes of battle casting fireballs, despite it possibly harming her own team members. The joy of casting a fireball never grows old, and it can be fun to create a chaotic character who crafts flames with unbridled enthusiasm!

And Nixie is the quintessential firecracker, able to light up a room with her bright smile and her flaming hot spells! Some folks never bother to ask how big the room is they're always ready for a fireball. "If the trees are thin, let the flames begin, if the trees are tight, do not ignite." ![]() ![]() Personally I like using the fingertips for applying them because the warmth of the skin helps to blend them into the skin better but they can also be applied with a powder blush or duofiber stippling brush with light feathery strokes to blend it into the skin seamlessly. I think its best to let it dry and then apply in layers built up to the intensity you desire. The makeup rule of “dont apply cream over powder” I think can be set aside in this case because with this cream to powder formula that turns into such a smooth powder anyways it would blend well with over other powders on your face as long as you blend it with a stippling or powder brush (or with your fingertips) blending it in before it dries. You can even combine two shades layered together over each other to get your custom blush shade or build a single color up to the intensity you want. The blushes come in 8 beautifully sheer “beachy-themed” shades like “Tahiti” (a nude rose-pink), “Turks & Caicos” (a peach-pink nude), “Bora Bora” (a light carnation pink), “Fiji” (a rose-pink), “Maldives” (a deep red-brown), “Bahamas” (a coral pink), “Caribbean” (a deep purple-red), “Bali” (a roes-red). They all give off a sheer and colorful sun-kissed healthy glow kind of vibe to the skin for that lit from within look so for those of you that are looking for a more dramatic looking blush, these blushes may not be the ones for you. I think that these blushes are best used for a more natural or daytime look instead of a dramatic night time look (or if you want a more dramatic nighttime look they could be layered with another powder blush on top or with a blush topper). They are definitely highly pigmented and you can feel the Argan and Vitamin E oils in them that is what makes them so moisturizing and creamy but feel light on the skin with no greasy residue. These blushes are priced at only $6.00 and for the quality for the price (which is the usual wonderful thing about E.L.F. ![]() I love these new blushes and think they are such a good product that I would recommend them to anyone! in the great quality of their products) they are well worth the purchase. □□Oh how I miss my old kit products that got stolen sometimes!

![]() ![]() Nowell was unable to do that for much of this game and ended up attempting 21 shots. Nowell, the team’s senior point guard, usually piles up assists by driving to the basket and then kicking the ball out to Johnson. Johnson has been so good that he earned first-team All-Big 12 honors and third-team All-America honors this year. This was only the second time he failed to score 10 points all season. It was difficult for K-State to play without Johnson on the floor, particularly on offense. “They did a really good job playing defense against him.” “Our All-American only played 18 minutes,” Tang said. He happened to fall in that 10% that did.” “There is this crazy stat,” Tang said, “that if you sit a guy in the first half with two fouls, 90% of the time they don’t ever pick up their fifth one. Turned out, his early foul trouble was an omen of things to come. “I guess it was just how the game was flowing.” “I didn’t know why I deserved to get two of those fouls on me,” Johnson said. Johnson picked up a foul diving for a loose ball, got another one trying to draw a charge and then fouled out while fighting for a rebound with 2 minutes, 44 seconds left on the clock. Tang assumed Johnson would be able to play carefree in the second half, but that was not the case. I just didn’t want to be hamstrung in the second half if he had three.” If we don’t miss two layups, the game would have been tied at halftime. “The other guys did a good job, and it was a four-point game. “As long as we could keep the game close in the first half, I was OK with leaving him on the bench,” Tang said. Tang wrestled with the idea of playing Johnson with two fouls, but he ultimately decided against it. K-State struggled to keep pace with Florida Atlantic as Johnson watched from the bench and the Owls took a 42-38 lead at the break. ![]() He was a spectator for the next 11 minutes of action and only returned to the game for the final few seconds of the half. Johnson picked up a pair of fouls in the first eight minutes of Saturday’s game, and he was relegated to the bench for most of the remainder of the half. “It backfired on me and I ended up in foul trouble.”įouls have been a concern for Johnson all season, but he had mostly avoided them of late. “I was just trying to play as aggressively as I could and match the intensity that Florida Atlantic brought to the floor,” Johnson said. Then he fouled out with 2 minutes, 14 seconds left in the game. He only lasted 8 minutes, 16 seconds in the first half. Johnson, a senior forward who averaged a team-high 17.7 points per game this season, was only able to log 18 minutes of playing time. Foul trouble threw a wrench into that plan against the Owls. Their usual recipe for success is for both of them to stuff the stat sheet and then get just enough contributions from role players to win. That was terrible news for a K-State team that has leaned on Markquis Nowell and Johnson for the bulk of its scoring this year. ![]() |
