![]() (Despite my sloppy early-stage building here.) The license plate is a sticker on a 2×4 tile, which is kind of a bummer. On the exterior, things are starting to come together. Again, we’ll get to that in a little bit. V.” A quick bit of internet sleuthing reveals that this stands for “Remote Trap Vehicle,” coincidentally the second element of this action feature. In the shot below, you can also see that there’s a crate labeled “R. While building, it was easier to manipulate the chair to see things in action, but once the build is done, you pull a lever on the other side. The next action feature is this drop-away ramp at the back of the vehicle. Peering closely at the movie trailer stills, what you can see of the interior of the car matches up pretty well overall. The interior details are a little sparse, and some are obviously designed to hide the Technic mechanisms. ![]() The next few sections of the build also have some Technic-complexities to them, but overall the instructions are clear and easy to follow. However, putting the chair back into the car isn’t as clean, as we’ll see later on. ![]() The action here is smooth and didn’t jam on me at all. Pressing on a section of the car’s exterior pushes the chair out while spinning it around. Built into the back of it is a proton pack, featuring that new printed 2×2 round tile.Īs seen in the trailer, this is a “gunner’s chair” that swings out of the car. The next bit of building intrigue starts off with this chair, situated in the center of the car. This will eventually be hooked up to both the steering wheel in the cab, as well as being able to be turned from a knob on the roof rack. There’s are also a somewhat uncommon 1×2 dashed-arrow tile, and a new/updated Proton-pack print on a 2×2 round tile.įirst up is the steering functionality. Quarter-panel domes in dark blue-grey were a fun new surprise, and the Technic shock absorber has only appeared previously in the 42107 Ducati Panigale V4 R. The majority of the set features relatively common parts, but there are a few rare and new gems. On the other hand, these are stickers and not printed parts, so if you want to just leave the rust off and have a “freshly painted” ECTO-1, you can. Since they’re just stickers, it would have been nice for each rust patch to have a slightly different shape. I wasn’t very impressed with these “rust” stickers – each one of the four patterns is duplicated many times, leading to a pretty cookie-cutter look. The ECTO-1 in the Afterlife movie has apparently been sitting idle for years and has gathered a lot of rust in that time. While this set does contain printed parts, the sticker sheet is also pretty big. There’s also an unnumbered bag containing the tires and other larger elements. Inside the box are 23 numbered bags, grouped across 12 building steps. The main focus, though, is still on the car itself, this time seen from a rear angle. There are a couple of stills from the trailer, along with a few insets showing off the real-world play features of the set. On the back, you can more easily see that this is the version of the ECTO-1 from the Ghostbusters: Afterlife movie. To be fair, this set lacks some “standard” UCS features like a display plaque and related exclusive minifigures, so maybe leaving that marketing off is better. While LEGO has currently only applied that term to Star Wars-themed sets, many collectors view sets like this and the recent 76139 Batmobile to be UCS-equivalents. (I’d guess an actual age requirement for this set would be closer to 10+, as there’s nothing super complex about the build.) What is missing is any sort of “Ultimate Collector Series” (UCS) messaging. Unfortunately, our review copy was banged up a bit in transit, but you can still see that the box for this set is pretty sharp looking with the “Adult Collector” styling, which means a plain black background, prominent logos, and a mandatory 18+ age rating. Providing TBB with products for review guarantees neither coverage nor positive reviews. The LEGO Group sent The Brothers Brick an early copy of this set for review. What secrets does this new version of the ECTO-1 hold? Read on and see! Arguably the most beloved converted 1959 Cadillac Miller-Meteor ambulance of all time, the Ghostbusters ECTO-1 will be available directly via and LEGO Stores starting November 15th. ![]() That left a lot of fans pretty unhappy…but LEGO has found a way to keep us busy while we wait for things to return to a new normal. Ghostbusters: Afterlife was originally slated for a July 10th release, but is currently delayed to June 11, 2021. The pandemic has had a pretty grim impact on cinematic release schedules this year. ![]() ![]() While it’s not the most imaginative of plots, it’s serviceable enough to at least establish the scenario. While this singular focused design may have worked in the early 2000s of gaming, nowadays people tend to expect a bit more from their game’s plot.Įssentially, alien invasion happens and Sam must travel back in time, to ancient Egypt of all places, to preemptively stop the invasion, all the while aliens are sending in their forces through time to try and stop him *cough* Terminator *cough*. At the end of the day, the schlock is all in service of making a fun shooter that prioritizes the feeling of good gunplay with high responsiveness and a large enemy variety to keep things interesting. Whether it’s ripping off story beats from Terminator or character designs from Duke Nukem, the games don’t care. The Serious Sam franchise has a history of being bombastic fun with a plot that makes little to no sense at all. Each game feels like it’s struggling under its own weight due to the number of enemies and mayhem it’s trying to throw against you on screen at once. But that seems to be a significant part of the Serious Sam brand at this point. Despite playing on an Xbox One X, with a preference for frame-rate over resolution – performance was all over the place. While the third entry is the most similar to the latest game in the franchise, it’s arguably the worst performing out of the package. ![]() The games themselves don’t feel like they’ve received any amount of TLC and it shows. For old fans, there isn’t anything missing, but there isn’t anything new or improved upon either. The collection is great for bridging the generational gap, as well as providing easy access to the entire Serious Sam series along with its smattering of DLC add-ons. That’s not to say the overall package is terrible. While returning fans will no doubt find solace in the nostalgic rush that comes with playing a game you haven’t touched in decades, for newer fans like myself, there was a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, the overall experience of playing through these old classics wasn’t an enjoyable one. Perfect for fans to jump back into these classic games and relive the nostalgia that comes with it. I had the opportunity to review the latest entry in the series not too long ago, and suffice it to say – I came away loving it! Now the entire collection has been released and updated to run on modern hardware. Serious Sam is a franchise that’s been around for longer than you might think.

Lighter color countertops can be used to help the space from feeling too dark and help emphasize a warm environment. Countertops can be a great way to add contrast to dark or light wood. ![]() Solid colored cabinets can also be found, but they are usually still made from solid wood and are simply painted over and given a weathered finish.įor the countertop, log cabin kitchens are often seen with a variety of natural stones, both smooth and rough such as slate, granite, travertine, sometimes even hammered metal, stainless steel or solid wood. ![]() It can be finished to match the color of the log cabin finishes, or can also be completely different. Since log cabins put emphasis on natural finishes, kitchen cabinets are usually made of solid wood. One of the most interesting parts of log cabins would definitely be the kitchen, as you will find different approaches and techniques to achieve different looks. To do this, black slate tiles was used for the flooring, for its textured surface, resulting in a very natural feel. For the kitchen, the aim is to visually separate it from the other areas of the home, without using partitions and while still maintaining the natural feel of the interiors. In the image above this luxurious log cabin home features the gorgeous natural finish of the timber used, letting the natural knots and other imperfections of the wood come through. While the original log cabins were mostly utilitarian, today’s log cabins are mostly adapted as a “style” used in country homes or vacation homes, and an now be seen with simple designs to the most luxurious design styles. ![]() These buildings were made by only using cut trees and has no need for nails or glue. Log cabin homes were originally used as a dwelling when pioneers arrived in a new land. Log cabins, for example, dates back from a very long time ago in Scandinavian countries and brought to America when Europeans came to settle. Different environmental, social and economic factors have all affected and triggered these changes, and so design styles have evolved to accommodate these changes. ![]() We have seen architecture, interior design and furniture design evolve, go out of style and go back in style over the years. Welcome to our gallery of log cabin kitchens showcasing a variety of designs, finishes and cabinet styles. ![]() These pages are purposefully left very open-ended so that your students can find their own way through the topics and share different facts with the class.

(If you didn’t know, now you do.)īefore we dive into our top picks, here are a few basic tips for choosing the best nontoxic, natural or organic mattress. They can emit toxic VOCs that are bad for your health and need to be replaced far too often-only increasing their eco-impact by requiring more resources and creating more pollution. If you’re reading this, you’re probably already aware of the fact that conventional mattresses are made from unsustainable materials and harbor harmful carcinogenic glues, dyes, gels, and/or fire retardants, arsenic and formaldehyde. And thankfully, more and more manufacturers are dreaming up ways to do things better, crafting nontoxic, organic mattresses made with natural materials. Hello discerning, savvy sleeper and welcome! We need to sleep, but we shouldn’t have to sacrifice our health or our planet to do so comfortably. It also doesn’t hurt that the linen only gets softer and more cozy with each wash.Why are nontoxic, organic mattresses so important? It’s great for the slightly chillier winter nights, and pairs great with the White Linen Duvet Cover (and matching shams, because that seemed like the adult choice). While the texture of their Waffle Weave Coverlet is what initially drew me in, I am incredibly impressed with the quality and actual weight of the blanket. It also didn’t hurt that along with the mattress, I also picked out a few pieces from their bedding collection. In the end, this princess 86’d the pea, and you know I’m gonna plug in this pun already, but sleeping has been all well since that upgrade. The cats having a blast in the empty delivery box? Double check.īut really, it was comfortable from the moment it unfurled on my bed frame and still is months later as I sit here typing out this long-winded chronicle. Hassle free arrival to front door? Check.Įasy for me to maneuver from door to bedroom? Check.Įasy to assemble / cut from plastic confines that are like super Spanx for a mattress? Check. Obviously, Allswell won out across the board because if you follow me on Instagram, you know I’ve been sleeping on their awesome signature hybrid for months now. And there were so many to go through: Casper, Lull, Purple, Allswell, Tuft and Needle… which one had the best reviews? The best price? Was it too soft? Too firm? Did they charge for delivery? What if I was stuck with another one that I hated after ordering? The question induced rabbit hole was never-ending. Next started the methodical narrowing down of online boxed memory foam mattresses. My neck and back continued their revolt against a comfortable well-rested sleep. ![]() That night as I slept on the couch with a crick forming in my neck, the overwhelming hunt for a new mattress started.ĭesperate, I headed to Costco and bought the only boxed queen mattress they had available. Within an hour he had an emergency plumber on site who had completely Dexter’ed out my room. ![]() I will say as I panicked and called my landlord, that I probably couldn’t have asked for a better one. Everything entirely soaked with probably polluted, insulation brewed, LA roof rainwater. Waterlogging my decorative throw blankets, double stuffed duvet, memory foam mattress, and last but not least everything stored under my bed. That little hole in the roof had turned into a not so little problem. However, crawling into my covers was met with what felt like an unwringed out kitchen sponge that some careless cretin had left at the bottom of the sink. Exhausted after a long day at work, and intense gym session to boot, all I wanted to do was climb into bed. That day I didn’t have to worry about the monster under my bed, but rather the hole in the roof above it.Ĭut to twelve hours later. ![]() I mean it wasn‘t drastic, just a light ongoing drizzle. You see, as I left for work that morning and it started to drizzle. During an atypical rainy LA day, life decided to inconvenience me beyond my normal extended commute. My odyssey as the princess and the pea has been quite the journey, and suffice to say I’m happy to be talking about it in past tense. If you’re looking for a mattress that won’t break your back or your bank, definitely check out Allswell. As I write this, I am snuggled up in my plush, overstuffed duvet, on quite possibly one of the most comfortable beds I’ve slept on. ![]() We can predict the electronic configuration of any element using a periodic table. So, the ground state electronic configuration is\. It has six electrons so its atomic number \ is\. A neutral carbon has six proton (positive charge) and six electrons (negative charge), so the total net charge is zero.Ĭarbon is the sixth element according to the periodic table. Neutral carbon indicates that it has zero charge. ground state and excited state for a neutral carbon atom. In this question, we have to write both electronic configuration i.e. They are the higher energy state than the ground state. The excited state electron configuration shows when an electron is excited and jumps into a higher orbital. The electrons have the lowest potential energy in this state. It is the same as the regular configuration. The ground electronic state configuration of an element in which the electrons are present in the lowest possible energy states. Electronic configurations are useful for determining valency of an element, predict the chemical properties of elements, and interpret the atomic spectra. The number of electrons present in the atomic subshell are written in a subscript. ![]() It follows a standard notation in which all the electrons present in the atomic subshell are placed in a sequence. The electronic configuration of an element describes the distribution of electrons in its atomic orbitals. Ground state is basically explained as the normal state, the state in which electrons are present in normal conditions. There are two states for an electron i.e. Hint: Electron configuration of an element tells about the arrangement of electrons in atomic orbital. ![]() SketchUpforDesign – What’s new with SketchUp 2015 – A great article from author, Alex Schreyer.This is a great new tool, it’s worth reading through this at least once, so a year from now you don’t look back and say “Man, I never knew I could do THAT with the rotated Rectangle tool.” TUTORIAL – Rotated Rectangle tool – What it is, and how to use it.SketchUpdate – SketchUp 2015 – SketchUp blog new version announcement.This help article goes over some details on what this means for you. – 64-bit version SketchUp is now available in 64-bit.– Sketchup 2015 Release NotesIf you’re interested in discovering all the nitty gritty details of what’s included in this release, this is the list you want to look at.– What’s new in SketchUp 2015?
