Otherwise I would need a horde of hirelings to port the stuff in. Like I said, I'm glad I can keep most of my things at the shop and not have to port much around. I bring whatever book other players ask me to bring. I plan to use it fully in my next campaign (3.5 ed no doubt!!! Eat your heart out WOTC.) Also, since I own everything for 3.5 ed. I have been bringing it when I play to cut down on books. I recently purchased a laptop and the DMgenie software. However, lately I've upgraded and gone high-tech.

I have about 8 metal toolboxes containing "most" of my painted metal miniatures. My group and I love to play with lots of miniatures. I've been fortunate to play at a game store (The Warhouse in Longbeach California), Therefore, I usually have most of my gaming supplies there. I believe in giving players all the options in the world to abuse. I've blown my shoulder twice doing this and yet still don't learn. Granted, if it's possible, I'll still lug everything around. The ones marked with a star usually show up the most often if I notice that someone isn't using a particular book. Not to mention any Greyhawk books, adventures, dungeons, pathfinders or Eberron books. If I'm the DM, then the list is as follows:īook of Exalted Deeds & Book of Vile Darkness If I'm playing, usually I just bring books that help my character, like the Complete Mage for a Sorcerer for instance. Alright, let me just say I'm a rules smurf, and Can't leave home without anything if I'm DMing. ![]() ![]() 63 6:57 Indian girl flaunts her natural boobies and shaved pussy in amateur porn 75 2:06 Newly Married Desi Wife Sex With Servant 58 5:42 Hunny bunny Cam Model Live Sex Show 67 3:33 Desi cutie in stockings and panties performs XXX striptease show 86 1:40 Bade chuchi wali aunty ki naked MMS 91 1:02 Sexy Ass Desi Anal Creampie!

Rebound, block, defend, and score in the post. Ultimately, you want to have the speed and agility to get good positioning, whilst also being strong in shooting off the dribble and off-ball movement.Ĭentre and Power Forward positions are as you’d expect: beastly. ![]() The Shooting Guard and Small Forward positions are I feel are the toughest in the game although I’m sure many will argue otherwise: they require a lot of off-ball movement and screens, so I feel there’s more focus on the fundamentals of basketball with these positions, especially without the ball. Point Guards and Shooting Guards have high playmaking potential, so you want to prioritise skill sets that ultimately fit these attributes. If you want to be a point guard, don’t expect the game to hand you rebounding on a silver platter, so don’t bother trying to shape a player around that. What I mean by that is, have a real think about the type of player you want to be, and then embrace the resources and skills presented to you to reach it. Now the follow is much easier said than done, but I feel it is genuinely the lynchpin of perfecting player creation: mould a player that both suits your own play style, whilst also embracing the design and gameplay philosophies of NBA 2K21. As an example, if you net a Ball Handling attribute, any additional point spent in this area will ultimately contribute to a higher rate of Playmaker badges. The game also does a fantastic job of highlighting skills and areas that your player is going to excel at, highlighting the highest number of badges available for that player type. As an example, a PG is going to have a higher passing ceiling than a C would, and a C is going to have a higher rebounding ceiling than a PG, etc etc. Balance relative to the position.Įach position in NBA 2K21 has pre-defined builds available, and these ultimately determine which attributes will receive the high peak skill number. But they should be evenly spaced and skilled across passing, if that makes sense. That’s not to say a PG needs to be evenly skilled across rebounding and passing. The approach in NBA 2K21 is no different to other years: create as well-rounded and as balanced a player as possible, relatively to your chosen position. Ideally, you want a player that suits your play style, regardless of who the player represents or mimics. ![]() The key here is ultimately to embrace trial and error, because it’s unlikely that you’ll create a Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan build straight up (although I can guide you through the Kobe Bryant build here). ![]() In reality, the perfection, quality and progression of the player you create is down to your own commitment and patience into growing their skillset. It’s so easy to get caught up on what the system offers that you could find yourself going around in circles trying to build the perfect player. I say this every year and nothing changes with NBA 2K21: don’t overthinking the My Player Builder. With that said, let’s take a look at the new My Player Builder, and run through some important tips to help you build the optimal player. With additional expansions and refinements to the badge, takeover attributes and overall crafting mechanisms, NBA 2K21 stands to offer the best player creation suite yet. Will you help them grow, prosper and thrive in the NBA, or will they crash and burn, never to truly reach their potential? It’s ultimately up to you and that’s part of what makes My Career and the My Player Builder so great. The opportunity is here to build your dream player from the ground up. And with the My Player Builder in NBA 2K21 comes yet another expansion of the mode, with even higher standards set after last year’s fantastic offering. As a key component of the NBA 2K experience for more than a decade, My Career, along with the player creation suite it embodies, is arguably the most detailed, engrossing and rewarding sports experience in video games. ![]() ![]() Moody until definitely advised that the use of his name has been finally disapproved.” In honor of Maj. “Things having gone thus far,” he explained, “the city fathers are not desirous of changing the name of the field and want no part in recommending the name of an alternate for Maj. Fred Nelson for additional names, Nelson had to decline his boss’ request by pointing out the extent to which Valdosta had adopted Maj. As one observer put it, “the proposed ’Moody Field’ was to be the name as far as the local citizenry were concerned.” In September when Gen. When word of his possible selection reached the citizens of Valdosta they immediately began referring to their airfield, now fully under construction, as “Moody Field.” This was reflected in the fact that shuttle busses carrying construction workers to the airfield from Valdosta and surrounding communities were labeled with “Moody Field” as their destination. Moody’s name be added to the list of potential sources for the name of the Valdosta airfield. Moody had been involved in the aircraft trials for the Beech AT-10 “Wichita” that was to become the new trainer at the base being constructed in Valdosta.

This area was located approximately 10 miles northeast of Valdosta and had been the site of the T. Their backup plan, the 9,300-acre site that had been the Lakeland Flatwoods Project, became the focus. The original plan was to obtain an Army Air Corps flying school at the Valdosta Regional Airport, but this plan fell through when Weaver noticed a marsh in aerial photos of the airport. Weaver was a personal friend of the senator. Weaver, commander of the Southeast Air Corps Training Center, headquartered at Maxwell AFB, Ala. Senator George agreed to a meeting several days later in Vienna, Georgia. In October 1940, Emory Bass, who was then serving as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, wrote Georgia Senators Walter George and Richard Russell to request their assistance in obtaining a defense project. Ashley appointed six members to a city planning board in June 1940 to develop a plan of action. Local leaders faced the probability of a coming war and looked for a way they could join the national defense efforts. The concept of an Army Air Field in Valdosta originated with Valdosta and Lowndes County citizens in 1940. Moody Field began as an Army Air Corps pilot training base during World War II. ![]() ![]() Need ideas to create spaces as bold as your personality?

How to setup Structured Snippet Extensions for Enterprise PPC The order of preference for displaying structured snippets is based on the order in which you have them within your account. We would encourage you to add several different sets of structured snippets which can be then ran against each other to see which performs the best. You should see that your structured snippet extension has been selected and is over on the right hand side, now click save again. Once you are happy save your structured snippet extensions, click save. Here you could use the start and end date to pause the advert extensions so it no longer shows after that date.Ī good example I’ve stolen from James Svoboda where scheduling would be appropriate is a restaurant where they have separate deals for happy hour and you would like to run different structured snippets at that time of the day. An example of where you may want to use a start and end date is if you are only stocking certain lines for a season and then they will change at the end. (optional) You can also set a start and end date and schedule the hours when you want your adverts to appear. The value can be a maximum of 25 characters and you must enter at least 3 values. To add additional valued click the blue +add button. For example if you have chosen the header brands, then you will want to add the brands that you stock as the values. Add the values the coincide with your header. There are also a set of Black Friday and Cyber Monday Headers that Google introduced for a limited time. The options of headers currently available are: Here is a detailed guide as to what you should and what you should not include within your values. Here you want to choose the most relevant one to what you are advertising. There are a large range of different headers that you can choose from. Next you need to choose a header for your structured snippet. Click the bright red +extension button and then the +new structured snippet extensions button which can be found towards the left hand corner of the page. For your top performing keywords you may want to consider adding structured snippets at ad group level to maximise performance. We would suggest setting up some account level extensions that will apply to all campaign and then setting up more granular structured snippet extensions at campaign level and ad group level. Select what level you would like to apply your structured snippet extension at. Navigate to the ad extensions tab within your Adwords account. How to setup AdWords Structured Snippet Extensions We will follow up by publishing out own case study in the near future. Structured snippet extensions are very new so there is only one case study on them at the present time. 12% increase in CTR on Sim-only campaigns.1.3% increase in conversion rate for branded terms.8% increase in click through rate (CTR) for branded terms.The results that they got with Structured snippets were as follows: Vodaphone used structured snippets in AdWords with the aim of providing consumers more information about key USPs and the wide breadth of products that Vodafone offers, as well as increasing click-through rate. That’s pretty subtle, but they can be used together, so be sure you’re not duplicating what you’re highlighting in both. Google says to use callouts to “highlight what makes your business or products or services unique,” while structured snippets should be used to “highlight a specific aspect of the products or services you offer.” They are very similar to callout extensions however there are some differences, as seen below. Structured snippet extensions allow you to select a header, such as categories, products, brands etc that are relevant to what you are advertising and then the values which will be attributed to them.

![]() ![]() This trail is usually closed from late spring through mid-August to protect the peregrine falcons that nest on the cliffs so fall, before ice starts forming on the mountains of Mount Desert Island, is the time to tackle this challenge. Because most of the trail travels along the edge of cliffs, hikers enjoy open views of Mount Desert Island and the ocean much of the way. And in many places, the trail is narrow with a vertical rock wall to one side and a sheer drop to the other. Several sections of the trail are so steep that hikers must be aided with metal rungs, rails and ladders bolted into the granite cliffs. In less than a mile, the it ascends nearly 1,000 feet. Zigzagging up the cliffs of Champlain Mountain, Precipice Trail is known as the most challenging and dangerous trail in Acadia National Park. The most important effect of eliminating hurricanes would be that the Earth would become off-balance when it comes to temperatures.BDN reporter Aislinn Sarnacki hikes along the Precipice Trail, known as the most challenging trail in Acadia National Park, on Oct. What would happen if we did not have hurricanes? If humans were not living along the ocean, hurricanes would cost very little. Why is human behavior causing hurricanes to be so costly? This occasional influx of water keeps our soil moist. Hurricanes deliver beneficial water to huge parts of the country when they travel over land. In what way do hurricanes bring more life to ecosystems? Yes, every so often the remnants of a hurricane will travel over Missouri and deliver a welcome amount of rain. Why would an early snowstorm be dangerous for a tree?Ĭan a hurricane ever benefit Missouri? Why or why not? What causes a leaf to fall from a tree in fall? Which three pigments are in the leaf all year long but can’t show through the green chlorophyll? What is happening in leaves that allow us to see fall colors? Why do leaves appear green most of the year? ![]() Mike Szydlowski is a science teacher and zoo facilitator at Jefferson STEAM School. Instead, the tree purposefully cuts off the leaf before freezing weather hits, and the branch goes dormant instead of dying.Įnjoy the beautiful fall show that most of our trees put on this time of year. Just remember, trees are smarter than we give them credit for. This whole autumn show of color and falling leaves has a purpose. This would kill the leaves and branches near them. Planting Zones This fall tree grows well in hardiness zones 4 through 9. It will remain relatively compact in a limited space and is tolerant of urban pollution, making it the perfect choice for homes with less growing space. However, as soon as freezing temperatures came back, the tree would be caught with large amounts of water in its system, which would quickly freeze. Autumn Gold is a popular cultivar that can grow to 50 ft x 30 ft, in maturity. If leaves were allowed to stay on the tree all winter long, a sudden warm spell could activate the process of photosynthesis again. In areas where there is snow and ice, leaves catch all that extra weight and would pull many of the branches off the tree.This expansion of freezing water would severely harm the tree’s cells. A tree transports the energy the leaves make using large amounts of water.Like all life, trees have had millions of years of evolution to become more and more efficient. Sacrificing its leaves every year is just one adaptation that has allowed trees to outlive most living things on Earth. Those leaves that are so beneficial all year long would become dangerous to the trees in winter for the following reasons: But why?Ī tree has to use an incredible amount of energy producing its leaves every year - so why are the trees now deciding to throw them away? These specialized cells cut the leaf loose from the tree. This chemical signal activates a layer of specialized cells between the leaf and the stem. This chemical change is basically the tree saying to the leaves, “It’s been a great year - now get off of me.” The shorter days combined with cooler temperatures trigger a chemical change in the tree. The daylight in fall gets shorter and shorter as the sun’s path in the sky becomes shorter and shorter due to the direction of the Earth’s tilt at that time of year.
