The details are sharper, the film grain is finer, and the naturalistic colors pop beautifully. I’ve included a couple of comparison sliders in this review, though most of the images on this page are taken from the 4K negative scan, which I found superior, despite said flaw. Well, that and the literal Devil appears to be tempting the troubled nun, rather than natural desires.įurthermore, I have read that the “flawed” scan was indeed done in 4K and the print scan was done in 2K. The focus on the moral downfall of a single sinful sister, rather than the entire superfluity of a convent, as seen in the films that directly ripped off The Devils. Even as things begin turning explicit, it still feels like a version of Black Narcissus, just one made without the pretense of leaving the carnal longings to our imaginations. Had the title and poster art not promised an exploitation bonanza, audiences would be forgiven for thinking they were seeing a sobering portrait of one woman’s loss of faith and conviction in the face of overwhelming sexual urges. In fact, compared to other films within the genre, the real joy of Satánico Pandemonium is found in the uneasy balance it strikes between mainstream drama and grindhouse tomfoolery. Certainly, Solares and co-writers Jorge Barragán (also producer) and Adolfo Martínez Solares (the director’s son). In his ode to the nunsploitation genre, Anticristo: The Bible of Nasty Nun Sinema & Culture (FAB Press, 2000), author Steve Fentone also compares it to an even older source – Matthew Gregory Lewis’ 1796 gothic novel The Monk, which has inspired a number of films, plays, novels, and comic books. Gilberto Martínez Solares’ Satánico Pandemonium (aka: La Sexorcista, shot in 1973 and released in 1975) neatly represents this combination of smut and art, taking considerable cues from the colorful psychosexual melodrama of Black Narcissus. At least as long as they weren’t taking their cues from Nazisploitation movies and borrowing the Women in Prison (WIP) model, and trading sado-masochistic prison guards for sado-masochistic Padres or, in this case, the Devil himself. While they were obviously created to shock and incense exploitation-thirsty audiences, they tended to be elegant in their obscenity. These films gave the first couple decades of nunsploitation output something aesthetically impressive to aspire to. I assume this is because the genre has its basis in two genuinely great and celebrated motion pictures – Ken Russell’s aforementioned The Devils and, less obviously, Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger’s Black Narcissus (1947, based on Rumer Godden’s 1939 novel). Given its subject matter, one might assume that nunsploitation would be the most salacious of the exploitation subgenres, aside from the ever-grotesque Nazisploitation, but, on average, there might actually be more artistically laudable entries than gutter trash quickies. In the film world, naughty nuns have existed since the silent era, when Benjamin Christensen’s occult pseudo-documentary Häxan (1922) portrayed a series of sinful sister activities, but it wasn’t until Ken Russell’s The Devils (1971, based on Aldous Huxley’s The Devils of Loudun and John Whiting’s stage play The Devils ) shocked censors and titillated international audiences that the concept of nunsploitation took off. Perverted, possessed, and/or evil nun stories have likely been around as long as Catholic women have donned the habit and pledged themselves to God.

Based on the highly advanced technology of the warship and the discovery that the beacon from the Scopuli is of Martian origin, the survivors suspect the MCRN of being behind the attack. Holden sends an angry message to the attacking ship, but it ignores him and departs. Before they can make it, an unknown stealth warship arrives and, without warning, destroys the Cant with nuclear weaponry. Suspecting that the ship may be a trap set by pirates, they take the beacon and begin returning to the Cant. They find no trace of the ship's crew, but they do discover the beacon transmitting the distress signal. They discover an abandoned transport vessel called the Scopuli. Five members of the Cant's crew are dispatched in a shuttle to investigate: executive officer James "Jim" Holden, a former officer in the UN Navy (UNN) chief engineer Naomi Nagata, a Belter pilot Alex Kamal, a veteran of the Martian navy (MCRN) engineer Amos Burton and medic Shed Garvey. The ice hauling ship Canterbury (nicknamed the Cant by Belters) is en route from Saturn's Rings to Ceres Station when it encounters a distress signal.

This section's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Save for the prologue and epilogue, the story is presented exclusively in third-person perspective by Belter detective Joe Miller, and Earther XO Jim Holden. This class conflict particularly manifests itself in The Outer Planets Alliance (OPA), a network of loosely-aligned militant groups, which seeks to combat the Belt's exploitation at the hands of the "Inners", who, in turn, have collectively branded the OPA a terrorist organization. Belters, whose bodies tend to be thin and elongated owing to their low-gravity environments, carry out the gritty, blue-collar work that provides the system with essential natural resources, but are largely marginalized by the rest of the Solar System polity. Earth, governed by the United Nations, and the Martian Congressional Republic act as competing superpowers, maintaining an uneasy military alliance in order to exert dual hegemony over the peoples of the Asteroid belt, known as "Belters". Leviathan Wakes is set in a future in which humanity has colonized much of the Solar System. Five short stories that take place before, during, or after Leviathan Wakes were published between 20.

However, doing the aforementioned you can upgrade your heavy shirt armour of 1 in 6 to many heavy shirts that gives 2 in 6, or give it a total of 3 hits instead of 1 that it can take. Adding more layers of armour ticks up that chance, but wearing 6 thick shirts over each other that give you 1 in 6 when worn alone does not give you 6 in 6. If someone becomes unable to make the attack they were rolling before their die is read out, by dying or having the limb they're attacking with wounded, their attack doesn't happen.ĪRMOUR is a chance out of 6 (roll a d6) per part to stop a wound, representing how well that part is protected. Read out from highest Fight Die roll to lowest. In BIG FIGHTS with lots of fighters, apply as follows: Everyone chooses a target, and all roll at the same time. When the fight die is rolled, someone gets hurt. If you have a scenario where one of the two parties landing a hit on the other is absolutely impossible (sniper shooting man with shiv), but the shiv man does win the fight roll, replace "man with shiv landing a hit" with either an ally of the shiv man landing a hit, or the sniper getting a wound because of a fuckup or the shiv man's cunning shiv plan. MOVEMENT is abstracted, and therefore, so is RANGE for the most part. This means that the weakest fighter (d4) has a 7.5% chance to hit the strongest fighter (d20). With matching dice, both parties land their hit. Two combatants pick a target part and roll the Fight Dice against each other when they have at it. Enemies also have a Fight Die that ranges from a d4 (weak) to d20 (fuck you). When you improve your fighting power by whatever means, it goes one tier higher: becomes a d6. Anything with more than three total wounds dies from being ripped to pieces. On two wounds, the part is destroyed or severed. The smaller something is, the fewer parts it should have.Ī hit gives a part a WOUND, which cripples the part and gives you a drawback. The head and torso are lethal when destroyed. A human, like the player, has four parts: head, torso, arms, and legs. At least one is lethal if it's destroyed. It's the health, damage, and combat ruling, which I'll now call CHOPWOOD OPERA rules. This is the first steak to come out of that effort. That's why I'm going elbows-deep into its corpse with my butcher knife and repackaging some choice cuts from this dead cow into a menu for the people. However, it has a lot of good bits that are worth salvaging and putting out into the world. I worked on it for a few years, and at this point, I've made peace with the fact that it's unlikely to actually become a finished product. It was a big part of my learning process regarding game design, and went from a sickening, bloated union between Pathfinder and Darkest Dungeon to something like Into the Wyrd and Wild. I'm currently slicing up the half-formed body old game, which turned out far too ambitious for both my product-making skills and the amount of time I had. It took a lot of energy to ride them fast and I was aware of this from the very beginning. “250 two strokes were exhausting to ride. Gordon himself picked up his third British Championship title in 2003 with Honda (after scoring back-to-back two-stroke championships), but he certainly had to push himself and change how he rode. It came on the market and straight away it was very successful.” So began the legacy of the Honda CRF, which continues to this day and has helped Tim Gajser seal his second World Championship crown. Certainly, riding Hondas, they had developed a really pioneering bike and had done such a good job as the CRF450R was dominating in just about all of the championships that were entered in. “I was very confident making the switch from two strokes to four strokes because I was on a Honda. While there was resistance to it at the time from the purists, very quickly four strokes were winning everything, with the Honda CRF450R leading the way. We moved onto four strokes, which are a lot more controllable, have a lot more linear power, more torque, less snap and punch.” With such a change came the need to approach things differently as a rider, and also led to a proliferation of technical development, which Honda once again proved themselves very adept at. They were very exciting to ride and still are. “We were changing machinery from 250 two strokes, which were very thrilling, loose, ragged, always on the edge and very difficult to master riding. You couldn’t be bitter and you had to learn new ways to prepare and setup and race four strokes but it wasn’t easy.” Especially as each machine had such different characteristics and rose-tinted spectacles continue to fuel debate to this very day. You had to be very good at accepting the change. “There were a lot of changes, not only from two stroke to four strokes, but also the championships began to merge into one premier class that had a mixture of 250 two strokes and 450 four strokes. Gordon’s role was a natural progression from his previous job as Head Coach and Series Manager for the Honda 150 European Championship, which at the time changed his career path from motocross coach to one which saw him back at Grands Prix working with the Honda CRF150R and over 30 riders per season, in what was a very unique and exciting opportunity for any young motocross prospect and which has helped kickstart the careers of several leading lights in the junior MX categories.Ĭhange has never been something that Crockard has been afraid of, especially when racing in what was one of the most tumultuous periods in motocross history at the start of the millennium, as the sport swapped from two-strokes to four strokes and experimented with a variety of different classes and race formats. “I’ve had 30 years of study of motocross to build experience and knowledge”, and those three decades have seen marked change - not just for “Crock” as he is known within the sport - but for the World Championship-winning Honda CRF (formerly CR) and for motocross as a sport. I think that I’m in a very good position to handle the racing activities” said Crockard. “It’s a job that I feel like I have a lot to offer because of my background as a rider, as a mechanic and as a coach. Now, after a racing career that spanned over 20 years (and is still going if you count the Veteran Motocross des Nations at Farleigh Castle, UK each year), Crockard has swapped his jersey for a collared shirt and is seen on the in-field of a race track rather than behind the gate, as he performs his role as Off Road Racing Manager for Honda. Are In-Kind Contributions Tax Deductible? Your deductions and taxes will also not be affected. Instead, $3 from your income taxes is allocated to the fund. This money will not be taken out of your refund. By checking this box, you are agreeing to give $3 to presidential candidates. On Form 1040, you will be asked whether you want to donate to the presidential election campaign fund. What if I Elect to Give $3 to the Presidential Election Campaign? Reach out to a tax attorney if you need further guidance on what expenses may be considered tax deductible. Essentially, you cannot deduct an hourly rate on your taxes for the time you spent volunteering, even for a qualified organization. Keep in mind, however, that you cannot deduct the value of the hours you spend volunteering nor the value of services you provided. The only out-of-pocket expenses you can deduct are those you incur from volunteering with a qualified nonprofit charitable organization, such as unreimbursed mileage. If you spend your time and money volunteering for a group seeking to influence legislation, such as political candidates, political campaigns and PACs, you cannot claim this as a tax-deductible expense on your return. These costs are also not considered tax deductible by the IRS, along with the time you spend volunteering. If you choose to volunteer for a political campaign or organization, you may spend money on out-of-pocket expenses, such as supplies and transportation. Can I Deduct My Expenses if I Volunteer for a Political Campaign? If you need further assistance with determining whether the organization you want to donate to qualifies as tax deductible, a tax professional can help. The IRS includes a list of qualifying organizations via a Tax Exempt Organization Search tool. This is the form on which you can claim your itemized deductions. When you claim a charitable donation as a tax deduction, you will typically list this deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040). Donations to qualified religious organizations, such as churches, synagogues, temples and mosquesĪlong with donations to political candidates or groups running for public office, examples of contributions you cannot deduct include those made to groups with the purpose of lobbying for law changes, groups run for personal profit, civic leagues, labor unions or country clubs.Qualified nonprofit organizations like United Way and the American Red Cross.
I'm also surprised that Google is being so stingy with online storage space for photos: Free accounts are limited to 250 megabytes. I'm disappointed that Google did not more tightly integrate their Picasa software and Web service. I think synchronization is the only way to go if you're going to have the same images online and on your PC. I'm spoiled by the technology of Sharpcast and Phanfare, both of which feature live synchronization between media files on your PCs and your online albums. If you write a caption or delete a photo on your PC, nothing changes on your online album (or vice versa). Once you upload photos from Picasa to Picasa Web Albums, there's no link between them. There's a bigger issue I have with this service: It's one-way. And although Web Albums will display slideshows, captions that you attach to photos don't show up in them. And the Web pages that Picasa Web Albums creates are very clean and easy to navigate.īut there are small snags: While albums on Picasa Web Albums can be made either public or unlisted, there's no way that I saw to password-protect them. Other Picasa users can download images (if you allow it) into their own Picasa libraries. The albums get nice human-readable URLs and sharing them is a snap. Album titles and descriptions transfer over automatically, but you can easily change them if you want. You create an album by first selecting photos from your Picasa library and then pressing the "Web Album" button in Picasa. So I was looking forward to Picasa Web Albums, and gave it a try as soon as I got access.Īt first blush, integration appears quite good. Picasa has become the PC-based photo manager for many people, and many of them have become frustrated that you need a separate non-Google service to post photos online. Its biggest new feature is the capability to post pictures directly from the application to a Google-hosted Web album. Uploading non-JPEG photos: You can now upload bmp, gif, jpeg, and png photos via the API.Ĭan anyone tell me if there are still some people who users Picasa Web Albums to store their personal photos? I had this impression that Flickr and Zooomr are the most used and visited online public albums right now.Google launched a new beta of Picasa on Tuesday.Example: userID?kind=photo&tag=dog will find all photos owned by the user userID which are tagged with ‘dog’. Filtering by tag: You can filter photos in the album feed or user feed based upon tags using the new tag query parameter.Will find all photos owned by user userID which contain the word ‘penguin’ in the title, caption or tag. Searching a user’s photos: You can search through all the photos belonging to a single user using the q query parameter. Example: userID? kind=comment&max-results=25 will retrieve the 25 comments most recently added to photos owned by userID.
