![]() At the time, Nike still sold the Blazer, both without frills and as an SB (which stands for skateboarding) edition. There was a black version with an exaggerated white swoosh, and a beige one with a bold orange logo. Among them were a few iterations of the iconic Blazer, albeit ones that looked both deconstructed and redone by a talented designer. ![]() In the final months of that year, designer Virgil Abloh, through his brand, Off-White, dropped 10 reimagined Nike sneakers. The Blazer, though, saw a more sudden spike in interest in 2018. ![]() (Fun fact: The Iceman often wore pairs personalized to him - Iceman printed on both heels where the Nike logo lives now. All three remain in Nike's rotation now, and with consistent success, too. A design formula that called for equal parts simplicity and performance (at least by standards then) resulted in a string of sneakers that'd prove as timeless as they were pioneering. Like Nike's first two sneakers, though, an early version of the Waffle Racer and the Nike Cortez, the Blazer's hung around. The Blazer, a nod to Nike HQ's hometown team, the Portland Trailblazers, arrived 12 years before Nike signed Michael Jordan - simply put, as odd as it sounds, Nike was still very new. (49 to be exact.) First designed for NBA legend George "The Iceman" Gervin in 1972, it was the third Nike sneaker ever, coming just one year after Nike transitioned away from its old name, Blue Ribbon Sports, and adopted its iconic logo, the Swoosh (designed by Carolyn Davidson). The Nike Blazer has been around, in one form or another, for nearly 50 years.

Heres a resource.look up "a bucket and a hole and its hydro". ![]() Its passive Hydroponics meaning theres no mechanisationalisms. The way I read it this method was printed in High Times back in the 80's but never really caught on until 30 years later. So to recap: Cut, shove, water,heat, roots. I check my babies progression after 7 days and if there is not roots yet,theres a bundle of bumps getting ready to be roots.My cuts are fully rooted in 14-20 days,and that means 3-6 inch long roots coming out of the rockwool. Thats right there was no mention of root stimulators, gels, powders.Water. Its like rockwool sitting in a swamp when I get done and I keep it that way.The most integral part of the process I have found to be a heat mat. Now I always read you want it damp but not soaked.I say bullshit. I put said cut onto a bed of perlite Soaked with water of the same PH.The only thing I add to the water is superthrive.Always check PH after using superthrive in any application as it tends to send it south with a quickness. Cut at an angle IMO nodes dont mean jack.above, below, bside, in front of whatever.I take my fresh cut and shove it in rockwool PH'd to 5.5. I like cuttings to be in the 4-6 inch range when I take them. ![]() Mad equals determination for me so I said fuck it and threw every cloning method I could into one box and finally. I have bought snake oil and tonic and done rooting dances for days with no success.So after much frustration and failure I got mad. People really tend to make things way more complicated than they are. Bottom line you have to find what works for you through trial and error. I see everyone in the world doing it every possible way, and they all work for them. Without clones you cant run an op like this. Be coolĪlright so for any noobs in the invisible audience.this is for you.Ĭloning is an important task, even the backbone of your op you could say. If I Forgot to mention anything ask away. ![]() Its ok I havent got my nutes yet so I will start journaling further as soon as I get those 2 items addressed. Lucked out ordered 3 each ,got 1 male and 2 fem of each:banana1sv6: So Im gonna have to finger out how to upload pics since the system keeps telling me screw off lol. The last 2 are new additions and Im pretty stoked to see them in action. My current genetics are as follows: Blue widow by dinafem, Critical by royal queen seeds, Deadhead og by Cali Connect, Serious AK-47 and KC Brains NL Special. Cooling consists of a 6500btu window ac with the cool air being directed into the flowering area by a 8" inline fan. I utilize a box I built for my moms and clones thats 3' x 2' x 2' so Im a lil cramped there but I make it work. Couple of oscillating clip fans for air movement. So my setup is simple I have 8' x 3.5' of flowering space under 2 600 watt hps. Here is a link to the feeding schedule where you can also see the analysis. I think its a newer company but they are made in the US, the nutes are tailored to MJ and they are quite inexpensive at 44.00 for the three part in gallon form. I have heard good things about their nutes. I have been using GH Flora nutes and dont feel their getting the job done so I am switching to Blue Planet Nutrients' 3 part plus their bloom booster. I run a perpetual hempy SOG zero veg straight to flower they go. ![]() This is my first ever journal so bear with me and ask away if you dont see it. ![]() They’re not subliminal we see them, and we are meant to. Friedkin took an already terrifying subject and then added layers of visual and aural cues to heighten what we were already experiencing.Īt various points in the film, Friedkin flashes ghostly images on the screen, just for an instant. That is not simply a reference to the pea soup and profanities that spew from Linda Blair’s mouth, or the spectacle of young Regan gouging her genitals with a crucifix. Roger Ebert (in a four-star review) and Pauline Kael (in a relative pan) both expressed shock that the film avoided an X-rating, and even by today’s standards they are correct – it’s astonishing that “The Exorcist” was an “R” just four years after “Midnight Cowboy” got hung with the “X.”įriedkin went to great lengths to instill fear and discomfort in his audience. Some saw it as a brilliant but disturbing thriller with a deep theological subtext, while others saw it as an exploitative potboiler that resorted to perverse stunts to generate fear through shock value – a high-end Herschell Gordon Lewis flick cloaked in religious imagery. What’s inarguable is that Friedkin made an emotionally charged horror film that hit with the force of a sledgehammer. “They understood that the demon in Regan McNeil would have responded enthusiastically to the Fish Cheer at Woodstock.”) (“Every adult in America understood what the film’s powerful subtext was saying,” King wrote. Stephen King, in his book “Danse Macabre,” states definitively that “The Exorcist” is a parable about parents of the World War II generation and their complete inability to relate to the behavior they were seeing out of the children of the sex-and-drugs revolution of the 1960s. ![]() I have a close friend who says without hesitation that it is ultimately the story of a mother who would do absolutely anything for her daughter, and therefore a reminder of the infinite well of maternal love. I have always thought “The Exorcist,” at its most basic roots, is the story of Father Damian Karras losing his faith (due to guilt over his dying mother) and reclaiming his soul (by sacrificing his own life to save the young girl). That’s the basic plot synopsis of William Friedkin’s film and William Peter Blatty’s novel. “The Exorcist” (1973) is the story of a young girl who is possessed by a demon and the lengths to which her mother and two Catholic priests will go to save her. Here is a piece I wrote about “The Exorcist” as part of a collection of movie essays: “The Exorcist” (director’s cut) will be at the Naro Expanded Cinema in Norfolk for a special screening at 9:15 p.m. ![]() At each of five stops between downtown and the Mall of America, groups got off the train and heard presentations about issues facing that part of the city, including: Immigrant Issues, Urban Development and Gentrification, The Historical Treatment of Native Americans, Human Trafficking and Homelessness.

We so enjoyed them and appreciate all their help,” said Deb McCullough of Hospitality House. On Saturday morning, youth groups fanned out to 17 different agencies and ministry sites across the Twin Cities for three hours of service, which ranged from preparing meals for homeless, to lawn care and clean-up projects, to playing with shelter kids, to the restocking of supply shelves at thrift centers and distribution warehouses. “Once you have yourself figured out, and love yourself, Jesus is always going to push us to overflow,” Brooks said.īefore heading to bed Friday night, students spent time with their youth groups preparing for the next day’s experiences and enjoying games facilitated by the staff of Lake Beauty Bible Camp. ![]() Brooks asked students to consider their responsibility to others, and to think about who the orphans and widows of today are.

As long as a mid-size truck but as wide as a full-size truck, the short 54-inch bed lends itself to a roomy, luxurious crew cab, and excellent cargo solutions such as a cargo tunnel between the cab and the bed that can hold up to 300 lb of gear, and could be filled with a slide-out camp kitchen. Not only is it quick, the R1T is capable, with a towing capacity of 11,000 pounds, an air suspension that enables nearly 15 inches of ground clearance for supreme off-roading, and more than 50 different drive mode configurations.

You can spend lots of money on metal KPL slats with up to three adjustable legs on each slat, but that is far from free. You can usually find free pallets or mixed scrap wood at your local hardware store and these can be used to build more cross members and beams with additional legs for support.
