Yates sets out to show us why. There's a point to it, and he's capably delineating the staits many individuals faced throughout the middle portion of the American century, especially women. I've been impressed with few writers in these tasks the way I am with him.īut holy hell is he bleak, at some points verging on sadism. He's an impressive writer in a craft/writerly sense, writing with great economy who does a great deal with short details and dialogue that manages to elliptically set scenes, standing exceptionally well for action and movement, with the dialogue itself highly characterizing. What are the general opinions of Richard Yates? This sub seems heavy on high Modernism and postmodernism, which are great, but I just finished The Easter Parade after bailing on Revolutionary Road some years ago once I sensed a bleak destination.

According to the publisher, Yates chose not to autograph his pages in contrast to Eudora Welty who, as typical with her generous nature, did. Lord John Press published two limited editions of LORD JOHN SIGNATURES and, presumably in case of book production errors, prepared extra sheets which too were signed prior to binding by the various celebrities, political figures, and authors featured in the book's handsome leather-bound and clothbound copies.

7/21/2023 0 Comments 2021 volkswagen atlasWe were told by the dealership that this was not a known issue by VW and our vehicles was the only one with this problems. The car has had two new radio modules installed in an attempt to fix the ongoing issues. The infotainment system seems to be the problem – we’ve had continued intermittent issues with the bluetooth not working for phone calls and playing music, radio volume shuts off and we can’t bring the volume up, backup camera freezes or goes black, and climate control don’t work. We now video the problems and send them to the service manager. Each time that we leave the dealership, we are assured that the issues have been resolved. Since then, we have had to visit your dealership 5 times (in the past 5 months) for an issue that remains unresolved. Read this VW Atlas electrical complaint on Edmunds, “ picked up 2021 Atlas R Line that we purchased from the dealership. When I put the car in drive, the warning light for the door being open comes on the dashboard and it plays the warning sound as if the door is open.” This issue also causes the windows the randomly roll down, and I can no longer lock or unlock the driver’s side door. Just read this VW Atlas electrical complaint on NHTSA, “My 2021 Volkswagen Atlas is having an issue with a faulty wiring harness in the driver-side door that causes the car to brake unexpectedly while driving in traffic, putting me at risk of causing an accident or being rear-ended. VW states “To enhance your driving experience, we’ve equipped your 2021 VW Atlas with several features, such as keyless access, available wireless charging and remote start and more functions including VW Car-Net Safe & Secure, and VW Car-Net Hotspot.”ĭespite the claims of advance technology in its 2021 VW Atlas, many owners are experiencing electrical problems and reporting defects including a defective wire harness. VW prides itself with equipping the 2021 VW Atlas with the most advanced and intuitive technology. They just said that people have been complaining about “squeaky” brakes, which I have taken my car in for before along with a grinding noise coming from my front driver side brakes and was told nothing is wrong.”Īs of now, Volkswagen has not issued a safety recall for the problems with the emergency braking problems, leaving 2021 VW Atlas owners without the ability to repair the problems. I reported it to my dealer and the car was checked out and found no issues. I was driving with my daughter and when it happened, she thrusted forward and almost hit her head on the dash. The vehicle has been to the dealership for this issue, but the alert continues.”Īnother 2021 VW Atlas owner reports on NHTSA “My car has randomly slammed on the brakes while driving. This occurs randomly, day or night, sunny or rainy, cold or hot. Prior to this recent incident, the windows started to roll up and down on their own and the “Fault Parking Break” alert will appear on my dash. By the grace of God, no one was behind us. As I was driving down a two lane highway to my daughter’s softball practice, the emergency break turned on and my vehicle completely jolted to a stop. The 2021 VW Atlas complaints about the forward collision avoidance braking system continues on NHTSA “Although this is not the first issue with my VW 2021 Atlas, it will be my last. There needs to be a more serious recall as someone is going to get hurt. I drove the car back home and it would continuously stop and I would have to restart. …Today, while driving the car, it came to a compete stop on the roadway and would not allow me to turn it back on. Vehicle last week gave numerous warning lights and would not start. One 2021 Atlas owner reports to the NHTSA “Hello. However many Atlas drivers are reporting problems with the braking system and it not working correctly, requiring many trips to VW dealers for repair. The emergency braking system will automatically stop the car without help if the driver doesn’t respond to an emergency situation. This technology detects an imminent accident with the help of sensors onboard. The 2021 VW Atlas is equipped with Forward Collision Avoidance Emergency Braking System. 7/21/2023 0 Comments Night call nurses nudityEddie Edwards (Robert Staats) add to the fun. Offbeat characters such as amiable compulsive flasher Bathrobe Benny (Martin Ashe) and sleazy pharmaceuticals peddler E. Armitages’ script is often funny and occasionally weird (what *is* with that sequence of people pretending to be a machine?), and injects the kind of social & political commentary that was sometimes to be found in these Corman productions. Bramlett, Felton Perry is the impassioned Jude, Richard Young is Kyle, the aforementioned truck driver, Dennis Dugan is cheerful orderly Kit, Stack Pierce is convict Jon Sampson, and the *always* welcome, and *always* funny, Dick Miller makes the most of his brief screen time as horny motorist Mr. A fine cast of familiar faces is a true pleasure. Naturally, the leading ladies are appealing and oh so easy to admire: the sweet Barbara (Patty Byrne), the serious minded Sandra (Mittie Lawrence), and the upbeat Janis (Alana Stewart). There are some enjoyable bits throughout, if no real fireworks, but Kaplan knows full well what fans of exploitation fare want, and he delivers it – over and over again, with various scenes of delectable nudity. Among other things, the gals get stalked / harassed by a creep who sends them letters, one has her consciousness raised by a new acquaintance, a black revolutionary, and another gets involved with a likable, talkative speed freak cowboy truck driver. With a script by George Armitage (who’d directed the previous nurse flick, “Private Duty Nurses”), it gives each of its three extremely comely gals their own story thread. Night Call Nurses, The third entry in Roger Corman’s “nurse” series marked the feature directing debut for Jonathan Kaplan, who went on to make such diverse fare as “Truck Turner”, “Over the Edge”, “Heart Like a Wheel”, “The Accused”, and “Unlawful Entry”. When you are done, you just need to review your files, then let the application do its job. For that, you need to navigate to the “Settings” section and specify the minimum and maximum size of the files you want to be analyzed. You can view each item in part and check or uncheck them as you see fit so that you remove only the ones that have become irrelevant to you.īut if you don’t want to analyze all the data on your system, you could opt for filters. To be more specific, the app can organize your files either by type (video, image, etc.) or by extension. Moreover, a nice touch is that you can browse through the data in two different ways. The total number of scanned files along with the number of dupes and their size are displayed in the main window so that you can take action in no time. You simply need to start by selecting the disk or directory you are interested in and initiate the scan. The program proposes an eye-catching user interface you would interact with in order to clean up your system in the blink of an eye. Helps you scan your computer for duplicate files You can find additional selection options by right-clicking on particular files.Duplicates could become a considerable source of annoyances, especially if you have failed to address the issue for a large period of time.įortunately, however, there are applications that could look into the problem and make sure there are no repercussions whatsoever, and one of them is Speedy Duplicate Finder. What other options are there with Duplicate Finder? We recommend that you don't delete any duplicates located in C:\Windows or C:\Program Files some programs on your PC are likely to need these to run properly. Doing this allows CCleaner to check for duplicates in that location.Ĭan you delete duplicate files located in C:\Windows or C:\Program Files? You can do this by side-clicking a file from the Duplicate Finder list (see screenshot), choosing Select duplicates in from the menu, and selecting the folder you want. It is normally safe to delete duplicates of your personal pictures or films, but as before, ensure that you verify the file path and the files' content before you delete anything. You can open a file from the Duplicate Finder screen by right-clicking the file > Open Containing Folder, then double-clicking the file in the window that opens. We recommend you review the file path and, if necessary, the file itself to ensure that it is, in fact, a duplicate and not needed by a program on your computer. How do I know which files are safe to delete after running a search? The Duplicate Finder can search for files with the same file Name, Size, Modified date, and Content however, it cannot determine which files are needed and which can be safely deleted. Please note it is not safe to remove all the duplicates CCleaner finds. You can delete files by ticking the checkbox and selecting Delete Selected. Please select Include files and subfolders to have it check subfolders as well. Note: If you set an Include setting to Include files only, it only Includes the specific folder you select. You can then specify extra drives and/or folders to include or exclude using the Include and Exclude tabs. This still applies even if it does match the criteria. For example, if a file is marked as hidden in the computer’s file system and you've selected Hidden Files in Ignore (see screenshot for reference), CCleaner won't consider it a duplicate. Similarly, files must match none of the selected Ignore settings for CCleaner to identify them as duplicates. You can select which files to ignore using the checkboxes in the Ignore section of the user interface (see screenshot). How to use Duplicate Finder's Ignore function: In this case, these requirements have to be met by the files stored on your PC for CCleaner to find something for you. If you select both Name and Size, this instructs CCleaner to find two files that are precisely the same name and size. What do we mean by this? See this example:

I used the previous version for GIMP with no problem. I originally put a copy of X11 in my Applications folder in my home folder. Should it be ok just to install this? Will it help and not break anything else. I'm having a similar problem to that reported by RODJEN. Please do your homework so you're ready for the XQuartz's challenges. Some bugs may mean that it won't install on or work with your version of Mac OS X. So if you like X11, download the latest stable XQuartz and get to work with it!īUT! Be sure to read ALL the documentation at the source website BEFORE you download or install new versions. INSTEAD Apple are going to direct Mac users to download exactly what we have here: XQuartz, the source project for X11. It is in fact a big, frustrating PITA to use X11 successfully! But the rewards are a lot of fun.ĪLSO NOTE: Apple are no longer going to provide X11 with Mac OS X! It come with the Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion installer. It takes unfathomable patience to use X11 because it is designed by geeks for geeks, not for average or even intermediate users. I also have unfathomably patience setting up this geek level stuff. But I am a geek and I have taken the time to learn how to use this. Don't write a one star review out of ignorance. If you don't know what X11 is, if you don't know what MacPorts are or what Fink/Porticus/PortAuthority/Pallet are, then don't download XQuartz. It requires knowledge of using the CLI found in the Terminal app for full capability. The XQuartz project is typically well ahead of what Apple provide. This is where Apple contributes to and sources what they provide with Mac OS X as X11. 7/20/2023 0 Comments Install psychopy with pylinkLinux: run sudo apt-get install python-numpy For PyGaze, downloading NumPy should suffice, but installing SciPy is a smart move (you’ll need it for PsychoPy). NumPy is part of the SciPy project, which contains some other cool packages that are worth checking out too ( matplotlib in particular). MATLAB users will find its syntax really familiar (see here for more on that), and we would advise any other researcher to invest some time in learning to work with it. NumPy is an invaluable tool for every researcher that ever needs to do any kind of calculations. If you’re wondering where the Linux download is, you’ve been underappreciating your OS, as one of the cool things about nearly every Linux version is that Python is pre-installed. Please select the version that is appropriate for your operating system, and download the 32-bit version! This is important, as some of PyGaze’s dependencies do not work on a 64-bit version.

In Sunday’s episode, Matsson crashes Shiv and Tom’s pre-election party, which is filled with 40 of the world’s most powerful people wearing immaculately tailored suits or similarly refined business attire. Sarah Snook and Alexander Skarsgård in Succession.įor season four, Skarsgård upped Matsson’s sartorial ante by coming up with a term for the character’s off-putting combination of super-casual, attention-grabbing attire: “cas cocking,” as in casual peacocking. He’s inspired by several real-life people, but then there’s a lot of creative freedom and some idiosyncratic details that are unique to Matsson.” Skarsgård confirms that the Swedish-born Matsson “is an amalgamation of… Daniel Ek and a little bit of Elon Musk. There would often be quite significant script changes late because they would constantly tweak stuff-get excited about something and then explore that storyline a bit deeper.” Something that might have looked great on paper and is not as exciting in front of the camera, they’ll pull back. If they see something on the day that they respond to and find interesting, they might lean into that more. There are a lot changes from day one to day 97-Jesse and the other writers are very nimble. “Jesse obviously knew how he wanted to wrap it up, but there’s an incredible fluidity to the show. “I thought it added to the eccentricities of the character-the fact that he’s so confident and such a bulldozer in many ways,” says Skarsgård. The actor didn’t know of GoJo’s whack numbers until filming was underway, but that didn’t fluster him. I was thrilled to hear that.” (The detail was so fascinating that The New York Times recently covered it: “According to Natalie Jones, a psychotherapist in California who specializes in relationships and narcissism, the type of person, like Matsson, who would send ‘bizarre things,’ especially in a nonconsensual manner, is calculated, disruptive and willing to go to extremes to influence or seek sympathy.”) It was so deeply disturbing but also funny and weird. Says Skarsgård, “There was something so delicious about that. “I was like, ‘I’m sorry, Jesse, what was that?’ He said, ‘Frozen bricks of blood, as kind of a joke.’” It’s kind of over, but he’s sending her blood bricks.” Skarsgård interrupted Armstrong. Armstrong talked about “the broader business ideas of the season and how Matsson would come into this storyline with the siblings.” Armstrong set up Matsson’s broad arc, but did not mention anything about GoJo’s hinky numbers.Īrmstrong did, however, make “a little weird side note, that potentially there was a girl whom Matsson was seeing. To come on and do two episodes, I was beyond excited to do that.” When Succession wrapped its third season, Skarsgård believed that he was hanging up his tech-bro sweatpants.īut in early 2022, Armstrong rang Skarsgård “to ask if I would be interested in revisiting Matsson.” The Succession creator gave the actor a rough idea where Matsson would pick up in the new season-“not that he had to convince me, because I had the most amazing time on those few episodes I did last year,” Skarsgård says. “I was such an admirer of Jesse’s work-from Peep Show, his old show back in the UK-and I thought Succession was brilliant. When Succession creator Jesse Armstrong initially reached out to him about playing Matsson, the character was only slated to appear in two episodes. Skarsgård says he didn’t know of this Matsson plot twist until season four was well under way. Though his company’s bogus numbers alarm Shiv–who has backstabbed her brothers and “nailed self on the Matsson cross” for this alliance-Matsson doesn’t seem too bothered by that detail. In the show’s latest episode, “Tailgate Party,” Matsson wreaks more havoc on the Roys’ home turf-sweeping into Shiv and Tom’s tony triplex on election eve, behaving erratically in front of a powerful crowd, and eventually revealing that GoJo is kind of a fraud. This season, he’s again disrupting the Roy family’s toxic status quo-needling a grief-ridden Roman into a mountaintop breakdown, belittling Kendall in person and in ill-advised Tweets, and courting Shiv into betraying her brothers by aligning with him. Late in the show’s third season, his GoJo offer essentially severed Logan Roy’s ( Brian Cox) relationships with his children, Kendall ( Jeremy Strong), Shiv ( Sarah Snook), and Roman ( Kieran Culkin), and demolished any trust left in Shiv’s marriage to Tom ( Matthew Macfadyen). Warning: Spoilers for Succession season four, episode seven to follow.Īlexander Skarsgård’s antagonistic tech bro Lukas Matsson has spent the last season-plus of Succession splintering the Roy family. |
