Has anybody done this or heard of the results of doing this. It is not real bad and I was thinking about modifing the the stock exhaust system by removing the cone from the end of the exhaust and putting some holes in the last baffle. I have the Whine coming from the clutch basket. ![]() New to the group and have owned my 2008 venture for a year or so and put about 12000 miles on it. Last night I didn't say a word about the chirp as I noticed it was less, and later during the ride my wife said hey where's that chirping noise at ? did you do something to fix it, I said no, just plug welded the mufflers, go figure. The chirp was getting that bad that it was giving me a headache and my wife noticed it to from the passenger seat. I know the exhaust should have nothing to do with the clutch chirp, but kind of hard to explain. My bike has had the dreaded chirp coming more evident lately, and last night the chirp was almost none existant. I thought when I drilled the back of the mufflers it made a difference and I guess the noise made it feel like it had more power, but after plug welding the holes shut it must create more back pressue and seemed to really help it. Yesterday my wife and I went on a ride, and imediatly I noticed the bike had more get up and go and accelerated better. After a while even they got kind of annoying, so last week I removed the mufflers and plug welded the holes shut and back to the stock sound. I drilled my stock mufflers the same way you did, liked the sound, not loud but a nice low tone. I run stock most of the time, though I do have a set of Baron's 4-2-4s I picked up used. These engines are perfectly happy running one rpm below cut out (and some over, actually - that's what the Dyna's for). Not all the time, mind you, just a couple of times to train your ear and butt. If you haven't already, take it out and bump it against the rev-limiter a couple of times (second gear - this'll take you just under 100 in third), just to find out how tight it'll wind. Of course, some do have a bit of a problem, but most are just suffering from under utilization. Generally I try not to use fifth gear below 65 or 70. I treat the sound as an indicator that I need to downshift. Its happy revving to the high side of 7000 rpms (got a Dyna3000). Mine only whines a little between 25 rpms. (Don't know what you came from, just mentioning.) Any chance you're running the engine too low in its range? Lots of people who come to the Venture from a V-twin do. ![]() ![]() ![]() But really, I’m all about the aesthetic, embodied in this great late ’80s commercial which easily could have been a Bananarama video. Peanuts riddle the outside of the solid nougat core (although they’re unsalted), which provides for a crunchy, satisfying snacking experience.įirst and foremost, I give extreme graphic-design-is-my-passion props to the Whatchamacallit label, which combines Lichtenstein-ian dots, with a cheesy font and wonderfully bad color scheme.Īs a bonus, the candy bar is pretty good too, the key being the inclusion of peanut butter-flavored crisped rice, which adds flavor and texture to the chocolate and caramel. But the courts bought it: Babe Ruth sued the candy maker and lost.įortunately, the quality of the candy bar is less debatable. It would be like if I debuted a line of microwavable frozen curries in the Bay Area under the brand Stephen’s Curry, then claimed I’d never heard of the Golden State Warriors. ![]() ![]() This makes literally no sense, as Babe Ruth was hugely popular at the time, and Ruth Cleveland had been dead for 17 years when the bar came out. It’s been posited that the Baby Ruth candy bar, introduced in 1921, was named after President Grover Cleveland’s daughter, Ruth, and not baseball legend Babe Ruth, who was in the prime of his career when the candy hit the market. Why more candy bars don’t add cookies is a mystery to me: a crisp, crumbly cookie is a perfect foil to sticky caramel. Twix isn’t salty enough but is still one of the better candy bars due to the crunch of its bottom cookie layer. The Twix candy bar owes an incalculable debt of gratitude to the Swiss one-hit wonders Yello (and I might be stretching the definition of “hit” in this case), who created the song “Oh Yeah,” featured in the movie “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” as well as several late-’80s Twix commercials. I like the sticky nougat chunks dotted throughout that invariably end up deep in your back molars. The Toblerone has an amusing shape - three-dimensional triangles joined together - and the chocolate certainly tastes richer and milkier than your average U.S. That’s how badly they wanted to change the name. Fun fact: “Mondelez” is literally a nonsense word made up by employees and doesn’t refer to anything. Toblerone, while still made in Switzerland, is owned by the Illinois-based Mondelez International, formerly known as Kraft Foods. Let’s give it up for the Toblerone bar: that thing we buy at the airport duty-free store when we have some euros left over from a trip, but not enough for it to be worth exchanging them back to dollars. They successfully convinced a generation that candy is actually a good thing to eat when you’re hungry and that it may even fuel your Olympics and discus-throwing aspirations.īut peanuts, caramel and nougat are a combination that’s hard to argue with, and the classic brown-and-blue design remains attractive to the eye after all these decades. ![]() Snickers, introduced in 1930, has a done a great job with its marketing over the years, etching the slogan “ Packed with peanuts, Snickers really satisfies” into my television-addled brain at a very young age. The chewy center can get to be a little much, but it’s a small price to pay for this candy bar par excellence. Why more companies haven’t keyed in to the magical Salt + Sweet = Good equation is confounding, but it makes it all the more satisfying when you find a bar as good as a Payday, a caramel core rolled in salted peanuts. And for that reason, and nearly that reason alone, the Payday bar is extremely good. It’s saltier than Twitter whenever Bret Stephens publishes a column. I used to nibble off the waxy chocolate outside as a kid and eat the candy core in one go. Remember the good old days when our favorite TV shows used to sell out? Not the sneaky sponsored content of today but, like, very obviously, shamelessly sell out? Bart Simpson shilling for Butterfinger created some pretty good commercials back in the ’80s and ’90s, such as when he illustrated for his friend Milhouse the four food groups: sandwich group, cow group (milk), jungle group (banana), and Butterfinger group.īutterfinger remains one of the best candy bars out there: the thin, brittle candy layers taste strongly of peanut butter, and there’s a great saltiness to the bar. The rest of the bar combines seemingly every other good thing you find in other bars: chocolate, caramel, peanut butter and peanuts. Pretzels! Of course! The simple, modest pretzel does so much by adding salt and texture, two essential components to a great candy bar. We’ve now got the unrelated Take 5 candy bar, which manages to crack the candy bar code with the addition of pretzel. We already loved Dave Brubeck’s “Take Five,” the jazz piece in 5/4 time that is really, really hard to whistle. ![]() ![]() ![]() "We just had a feeling that an incident was going to happen," Corrado said. Kristin Corrado, a Republican who introduced the legislation earlier this year, said she decided to get involved after reading an article about people trying to evade revenge porn laws by using their former partner's image to generate deepfake porn. Some states, like California and Illinois, have only given victims the ability to sue perpetrators for damages in civil court, which New York and Minnesota also allow.Ī few other states are considering their own legislation, including New Jersey, where a bill is currently in the works to ban deepfake porn and impose penalties - either jail time, a fine or both - on those who spread it. Texas, Minnesota and New York passed legislation this year criminalizing nonconsensual deepfake porn, joining Virginia, Georgia and Hawaii who already had laws on the books. Several states have passed their own laws over the years to try to combat the problem, but they vary in scope.

It can also be easy to procrastinate and put off studying when you know you've got a long window of time available. It can be very overwhelming to have a whole day to study! For students with ADHD, it is often hard to know where to start or how to use your time effectively. We hear a lot from parents and teachers we talk to that their students with ADHD can take all day staring at a book, chapter or notebook and not get any studying done.

It may take some trial and error to make it work for your student. Work intervals, break intervals and number of pomodoros (or rounds of work) can be modified for your individual student and changed over time! Below is a modified Pomodoro method which may be a better fit for student. That's OK! We can't improve unless we start where we are. ![]() For some students, it may be a challenge to focus for even five minutes. The first time you try this, start with an interval that is achievable. We need to start where your students are and build from there. For many students with ADHD and learning challenges, 100 minutes of work will be far too long. What's important to realize about the Pomodoro Technique is that it can and often should be modified! We always want to start with small, achievable goals to set our students up for success. At the completion of the 4th "pomodoro", take a long break for 20-30 minutes. (Completing steps 1-4 is considered completing one "pomodoro".)Īt the completion of "pomodoros" 1-3, take a short break for 5-10 minutes. Stop working when the timer for 25 minutes goes off. The original Pomodoro Technique Cirillo used is described below.

This is also a technique which we sometimes incorporate into educational therapy sessions since it's a great tool to be used across subjects and disciplines and since it fits into the broader framework of self-advocacy and learning how to learn.

Robin returns to England with Azeem, who vows to accompany Robin until the debt of saving his life is repaid. Robin engineers an escape, saving the life of a Moor, Azeem (Morgan Freeman) in the process Peter dies in the attempt and has Robin swear to protect his sister Marian (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio). ![]() A proper classic like they don’t, or can’t, make any more.Robin of Locksley (Kevin Costner), an English nobleman who joined Richard the Lionheart's army in the Third Crusade, is captured and imprisoned in Jerusalem along with his comrade Peter. If you can sit through this film without a smile on your face you are doing cinema wrong. It’s (very) easy to mock Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves but at nearly two and a half hours I enjoyed it as much as any other film I have seen this year and not just for nostalgia’s sake. The action sequences are genuinely exciting too and it is also satisfying to see Morgan Freeman portraying an actual positive Muslim character, something else that you would never ever see now. Kevin Costner was one of the world’s most sought after leading men in 1991 and he delivers a compelling and likeable performance. Friar Tuck never once looked like breaking the laws of quantum physics in that film.Īside from the fact that its erraticism makes it so enjoyable, there is a lot to admire generally about Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. ![]() This film could never be made now, just look at Ridley Scott’s dour delivery of Robin Hood back in 2010. Cinema was much more fun and weird and glorious back in the ’80s and ’90s. Just read that back to yourself for a moment and imagine anything like that ever happening now. Just when you think that Sean Connery’s tartan cameo is the bizarre cherry atop the cake of ludicrousness, Friar Tuck just straight up breaks the fourth wall and addresses the audience. It’s all a load of wonderful, wonderful nonsense. This results in a gloriously over the top villain who is always sticking his sword into some family member or other whilst shouting at random birds and threatening to cut out Robin Hood’s heart with a spoon. By all accounts Rickman essentially wrote most of his own dialogue and only agreed to appear at all if he could have complete carte blanche over the character. Elsewhere, Morgan Freeman mostly keeps up his middle Eastern pastiche but he never seems too far away from calling the Sheriff of Nottingham a goddamn jive turkey and Alan Rickman doesn’t have to affect an accent as he is pretty much just being Alan Rickman. Unlike Christian Slater who rocks up speaking in a thousand voices in his portrayal of Will Scarlett. Obviously, all American hero Kevin Costner is, on the surface, an odd choice to play England’s most famous mythical son but to his credit he doesn’t even bother to attempt to sound like an Englishman. It’s difficult to begin anywhere else other than the accents. From Kevin Costner’s bearded visage nearly losing his hand to Sean Connery showing up as the most Scottish king of England ever, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is definitely never boring.
