And as the bankability of comic book franchises begins to cool - did we really need four hero-in-tights movies this summer alone? - you have to wonder if studios will ever get hip to the possibilities of going after multi-cultural audiences.Ĭasting Academy Award-nominee Laurence Fishburne as Daily Planet editor Perry White in the upcoming Superman movie is a good, if tentative, step in the right, non-traditional casting direction.īut for a real leap, how about casting Will Smith as Superman Denzel Washington as Superman's father, Jor-El and Michelle Rodriguez as Lois Lane? I guarantee you non-stop chatter until the film opens.Ĭlearly the folks at Marvel comics are open to the possibilities. Weaver found that white audiences tended to be racially selective with regard to romantic movies, but not necessarily when it came to other genres. In the concisely titled study "The Role of Actors' Race in White Audiences' Selective Exposure to Movies," Indiana University professor Andrew Weaver writes, "Movie producers are often reluctant to cast more than a few minority actors in otherwise race-neutral movies for fear that the white audience will largely avoid such films." There is, however, a bit of evidence to back that claim. Monkey See Meet Your Friendly Neighborhood (Well, Community-Based, Anyway) Spider-Man There's a self-fulfilling delusion at work in the studio system that white audiences won't pay to see black actors cast outside a narrow type of role. So if Hollywood can crank out fantasy pictures with blue Smurfs, why is it so reticent to do the same with African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians? If second stringers like Thor can get the big-screen treatment, don't comic book legends of color like Luke Cage and Black Panther deserve the same?Įvery hero needs a villain, and I can tell you from experience that supposedly "liberal" Hollywood loves to make the audience the bad guy. In the comic book world, there's already a black Green Lantern named John Stewart who's probably got more name recognition going for him than his white counterpart, Hal Jordan. It wouldn't have been much of a stretch for producers to reimagine Green Lantern as a person of color. But I kind of get the feeling that Hollywood's earning powers are being limited by its lack of imagination.Ĭonsider the box office potential if movie producers had been as bold as Marvel's Ultimate Comics Spider-Man series when it introduced Miles Morales - a part black, part Hispanic teen - as the new Spider-man. The big budget disappointment Green Lantern was about a superhero whose powers were only limited by his imagination. Ryan Reynolds plays Hal Jordon in this year's Green Lantern.

Even the end fixture only has 2 fixtures between it and the transformer. Example you might have 6 fixtures on a run but the cable layout is like a T with 3 fixtures on the upper left part of the T and 3 fixtures on the upper right part of the T. Instead form T or spider splices so that there is never more than 2 fixtures between any one fixture and the transformer. You can do a couple fixtures in series, but we don’t recommend exceeding more than 3 fixtures or 75 watts in series. In other words do not connect fixture after fixture in-line to the same cable. Anything over 12 volts dramatically reduces lamp life–13 volts cuts the lamp life in half!). However if you use a higher voltage tap to make the far fixture brighter, the close fixture will be over-volted (dangerous, fire risk, lights will be uneven, lamp lifespan drastically shortened). Why? Because if you use the 12v tap, the close fixture will have the correct voltage (about 11 volts) but the far fixture will only have about 8 volts and be dim (because of voltage drop). For example, never have a fixture 20 ft from the transformer on the same run as a fixture 80 ft from the transformer. That way when you adjust for voltage drop by increasing the voltage for that one run, the lights are not over-volted or under-volted. The goal is have all the fixtures on a run be roughly the same distance from the transformer so they have similar amounts of voltage drop. TIP#2: Break Your Layout Into Distance Zonesįor example put fixtures 15-30 ft away from the transformer on one run, fixtures 25-40 ft on another run, fixtures 30-50 ft on another run, and so on. If you have more than 150 watts in an area - break it up into 2 runs. Break your layout up into multiple cable runs of ~ 100-150 watts per run. Lower loads per run means lower voltage drop. TIP #1: Break Your Layout Up Into Multiple Cable Runs So, it would fall below the imaginary horizontal line, pointing more toward the cheekbones. On the other hand, downturned eyes taper downward at the outer corners of the eye. When it comes to upturned eyes, the outer corner of the eye would be above that imaginary line. Imagine a horizontal line running through the iris. Think cat eyes when it comes to an upturned eye shape. The eyelids look as if they are a single area of skin from the upper lash to the eyebrow. Monolid eyes have the appearance of being flat. They also have a visible eyelid crease, and both ends taper. AlmondĪlmond-shaped eyes have an iris that touches either or both the upper and lower eyelid. The interesting thing about types of eye shapes and how to determine yours is that, in the end, you may discover your eyes are a beautiful blend. But for now, let’s talk about the six main types of eye shapes and how to determine yours. We love everything about eyes-from the varying shapes, sizes, and colors to the fascinating way they work. Top tip: tape back the lid so you can get as close to the lash line as possible.We’ve said it before. An L curl is ideal for clients with hooded lids or downward pointing lashes to create a glamorous lash lift look to their eyes. Curls: Use strong curls with length to get them out and up from underneath the lid.Your clients have hooded eyes if they have a crease, but it isn’t visible because it’s hidden beneath a flap of skin. Hooded eyes regularly occur as we get older, as the skin begins to lose its elasticity. Curls: Use a soft curl, adding length towards the outer corners and shorter inners.Recommended Styling: Use a Cat Eye style or Squirrel style depending on the final look required.If the outer corners turn upwards above the line, then your client has upturned eyes. Do the outer corners of your client’s eyes flick upwards? Use the same approach as you did when checking for downturned eyes. Concentrate the length in the area you want to lift or heighten. Curls: Use a strong curl if the lashes are really straight.Use an open or lifting style that will help take focus away from the down-turned outer corners. Recommended Styling: Squirrel is best for this eye shape.If the outer corners turn down beneath the line, then they have downturned eyes. If you can’t quite tell, imagine drawing a straight line across the clients’ eye. This is when the outer corners of the eyes turn downwards. CC Curl is a very popular curl for a more dramatic appearance but can be worn day to day. Curls: C Curl - Helps give an extra lift and curl look.Recommended Styling: Almond eyes suit a variety of lash styles.Your client has an almond eye shape if: they have a visible crease on their eyelid and, unlike those with round eyes, the iris touches both the top and bottom of the eyelid. Curls: Use shorter lengths in a softer curl and elongate towards the outer corners to give a slimming effect.Your client has a round eye shape if they have a visible crease on their eyelid and the iris of the eye is surrounded by just a touch of white, disconnecting it from the top and bottom eyelid. If your client does have a crease then their eye shape will be one of the below eye shapes: Otherwise a CC or D will also work with a Cat, Doll or Squirrel styling.
1 overall draft pick Ki-Jana Carter and actor (and Franklin dead-ringer) Keegan-Michael Key were the choices for those games, respectively. It was the first time that Penn State had hosted ESPN’s “College GameDay” for three straight seasons, as the traveling preview show set up shop on campus on the HUB lawn for the 9 a.m.-noon live airing.įor the last two appearances (Michigan 2017, Ohio State 2018), the show went different directions for the school-affiliated guest to pick winners for the weekend’s games. Wideout Cam Sullivan-Brown, who appeared to hurt his foot or ankle in the second half against Maryland, missed his third straight game.He was again in street clothes on Saturday, but this time he was sporting a sling on his right arm. Cornerback Donovan Johnson hasn’t played since suffering an injury against Pitt in the third game of the season.“So yeah, it’s very important for our future and to keep building this thing, to close out this class the right way, and then also building for future classes after that.” I think it does, especially in a White Out. “How many players ended up on our roster that were in the stands that night? Does it have an impact? Yeah, I don’t think there’s any doubt about it. “I remember when I first got here thinking about (Penn State’s four-overtime win over Michigan the year before in 2013),” Franklin said. Penn State was hoping to make an impression on all ages. But the Lions aren’t done just yet, and the featured senior in attendance on Saturday was Canada’s Theo Johnson, the No. Much of the White Out is geared toward high school juniors, sophomores and freshmen, as Penn State’s current recruiting class is nearly full at 27 players. He is the second member of the 2021 class, joining Florida tight end Nick Elksnis. It also has an impact that there’s going to be a bunch of young players sitting in those seats - or hopefully standing in the stadium - and feeling the energy that we have in this town and the energy in the stadium and say, ‘Hey, this is where I want to play.’”īruce wouldn’t be able to officially sign with any program for another 14 months, but he would be the third Cougars player to join the Lions in five years, joining defensive tackle Damion Barber (2017) and linebacker Micah Parsons (2018).Īt 6-foot-4, 320 pounds, Bruce is a three-star prospect per 247Sports and projects as a guard. “Obviously it has an impact on game day and how we play and how challenging we can make it for their offense. “The environment is really important for the future of our program,” Franklin said of the White Out. The Class of 2021 recruit continued Penn State’s pipeline to Harrisburg High when he verbally committed to Franklin and the Nittany Lions some 90 minutes before kickoff. One of them, Harrisburg junior offensive lineman Nate Bruce, already jumped aboard. James Franklin had an enormous mob of recruits to greet on his way into the stadium ahead of Saturday’s White Out game against Michigan, with many also getting a midfield handshake and hug from the Penn State coach during warm-ups. It’s just that the results aren’t usually this quick. STATE COLLEGE - It’s the biggest recruiting event of the year for Penn State. Here is a look back at the full Beaver Stadium whiteout games over the years, beginning with the first against the Fighting Irish.Tired of ads? Subscribers enjoy a distraction-free reading experience. Games against Michigan and Ohio State in alternating seasons have become the automatic whiteout game, but a handful of others have had to face the whiteout conditions in Happy Valley, including Nick Saban and Alabama. Two years later, in a home game against Notre Dame, all Penn State fans got in on the fun and pulled together the first stadium-wide whiteout, leading to a 31-10 victory over the Fighting Irish. 6 Ohio State, this time energizing the eventual Big Ten champion Penn State squad to an eye-opening upset of the Buckeyes. The following season, students once again unified in their color scheme for a game against No. The Boilermakers managed to overcome the upset bid by the Nittany Lions, but a tradition was born. The first whiteout occurred in 2004 when the Penn State student section rolled out a whiteout for a home game against No. The picture of a full Beaver Stadium clad in white cheering on the Nittany Lions has become a visual that is arguably unrivaled in college football, and it always makes for a great image on national television. Penn State’s whiteout has become a signature event on the Penn State football schedule over the years.

I haven’t gotten my hands on the beers in the bottom section just yet, but when I do (hopefully it’s soon!), they’ll be added to the list with a full review. In fact, over half of the breweries below are based in either Washington or Oregon, which is nuts. Splitting my time between California and the Pacific Northwest means that I get to try a wide selection of gluten free beer, because most of it comes from the Pacific Northwest. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s talk about the dedicated gluten free breweries around the country that seem to be popping up more and more every day. 14 Dedicated Gluten Free Breweries Around the Country (and Canada!) I can’t speak to those of you with a non-Celiac gluten sensitivity, but I don’t really see why ingesting a small amount of gluten would be in your best interest either. My recommendation, as a beer-loving Celiac who has dabbled in gluten-reduced beers way back in the day, is that you drink only truly gluten free beers made in a dedicated gluten free brewery if you have Celiac Disease. Today, there are (at least) 14, probably a couple more that regional and are small enough that I haven’t come across them yet. Most gluten free beers are made with a combination of alternative gluten free grains like buckwheat, millet, sorghum and rice, and even things like chestnuts and lentils on occasion.īack when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2008, there were only a handful of gluten free breweries across the country. And really, that should tell you something about the safety of gluten-reduced beers for Celiacs. Gluten free beer can only be called gluten free if the recipe does not include any ingredients that contain gluten, which is why you see “gluten reduced” beers all over the place. I don’t know about you, but to me that sounds an awful lot like “no, believe me, the gluten gets dissolved in the fryer, I eat it every day!”įor clarity’s sake, the first part about gluten in fryers is flat out not true, and the second part (the “I didn’t get glutened” part) is not a good way to evaluate whether something is safe for Celiacs or not. That enzyme, in layman’s terms (mostly because I don’t really understand the science), breaks down the gluten protein so that it is small enough to pass the “gluten test.” I’ve heard it argued – by multiple gluten reduced beer companies -that it is also too small to be digested, and “I’ve never had an issue and I drink it everyday!” However, science has stepped in and created an enzyme. Barley is a gluten-containing grain, so it’s a no-go for us Celiacs. Regular beer is made with barley, hops, and water. Those two kinds are gluten reduced beer, and gluten free beer. The Ultimate Enchantments Trail Guide ExpandĢ.9 Even More Breweries Making Celiac-Safe Gluten Free Beer! What Beer is Gluten Free & Celiac-Safe?įirst of all, let’s talk about the two different kinds of beer out there that often get lumped into the “gluten free beer” conversation. When water flows through this active carbon filter, the granules absorb a large portion of the PFAS and PFOA. The filter uses granular activated carbon. These are very common, though they are less effective at removing these forever chemicals than the reverse osmosis filters. Other filters that remove PFOA and PFAS use activated carbon. Many have multiple layers of RO membranes and filters. These systems work by forcing water through a semi-permeable membrane, which filters and removes drinking water contaminants. According to some studies, this kind of filter can remove up to 90% of these dangerous chemicals. Reverse osmosis filters are some of the most common and effective at removing toxic PFAS and PFOA. There are various systems that work to remove the dangerous per- and polyfluoralkyl substances and perfluoroocanoic acid from your tap water. Below are some of the criteria we looked at. While driving, it’s best to keep the windows (and sunroof, if you’ve got one) closed.When searching for a filter to remove toxic PFAS and PFOA it is important to have some solid criteria for comparison. After spending time outside, put your jacket in the car’s boot so as not to carry the pollen on it into the vehicle’s interior. To keep your allergy symptoms to a minimum, you should try to avoid direct contact with the pollen. If you suffer from hay fever, you should also try to avoid parking under trees during pollen season otherwise, your car could be covered with tree flowers and pollen when you return. Activated carbon filters also keep out foul odours and certain contaminants in addition to pollen and dust. So-called multi-filters with activated carbon can be retrofitted into many vehicle models, although this option is somewhat more expensive. Most drivers will have to bring their car to the workshop to get it replaced. Only a few car models allow the owner to easily switch out the filter themselves. However, if you have to regularly drive through pollen-laced areas, you might have to change your car sooner. “This usually happens during an general inspection,” says technical inspector Vincenzo Luca. But even drivers who don’t drive that much should change them at least once a year to ensure they continue to effectively filter out allergens, inspection experts say. Pollen filters in cars usually need to be changed every 15,000km. At the very latest, drivers should put in new filters after the pollen count reaches its peak. The filter’s antibacterial and fungicidal coatings also stop working after a long period of use. When new, filters keep pollen and dust out of the car’s interior, but filters that have not been changed in a long time can clog up and a become a breeding ground for mould and other spores. Your best friend when driving, however, is your car’s pollen filter – if it’s still filtering, that is. While certain medication may help against symptoms such as runny noses and watery eyes, you’ll want to check the instructions to see if your driving ability will be impaired. Research has found that drivers suffering from acute pollen allergies are potentially as accident-prone as drunk drivers, as one sneeze at 100kph can mean driving blind for about 30m, according to Germany’s TUV inspection agency.
