Truth is, those lighter front seats are more comfortable, and more supportive of adult bottoms and backs, than the fatter seats they replaced. But that would be an erroneous assumption. There was little usable legroom for rear passengers in the older Contours, and if those passengers were, say, nearly six feet tall, they had to scrunch their legs to fit.įord corrected that problem by reconfiguring the front seats, taking the bulk out of them in a way that adds about a half-inch more space for the knees and 1.2 inches more overall for the legs of rear-seat passengers.Ĭonventional wisdom would say that driver and front-passenger seating comfort were sacrificed in the process. The key difference between them and the newest Contours is that the new cars seem to be designed and assembled with more attention to detail. That’s too bad, because the first Contours were decent, despite their shortcomings. And when they walk away, it’s hard to get them to come back. They walk away when you mess with them on something as important to their daily lives as a car. Both cars, as currently constituted, easily compete against the Acura Integra, Mazda 626, Nissan Altima, Mitsubishi Galant and Dodge Stratus, the Contour’s main rivals in the compact sedan category.īut getting consumers to believe that the Contour now is up to snuff is going to take some work. Had Ford done things right the first time, the company wouldn’t be struggling today to boost the sagging sales of the Contour and its mechanical twin, the Mercury Mystique. The upshot is that the tested 1999 Ford Contour SE is the Contour that Ford should have made in the beginning. That should be a cause for celebration instead of an occasion for corporate euphemisms. But it is also true that most of those “improvements” came in direct response to customer complaints. There were seat readjustments to create more legroom, suspension rearrangements to provide better ride and handling, exterior tweaks to mute its jelly-bean look, and changes to help the instrument panel make more sense.įord prefers to call those fixes “improvements,” things done in the normal course of product development. That is, the car has been in a constant state of correction. The Ford Contour has been a work in progress since its introduction in 1995.

Jacob is a minister in the midst of a crisis of faith after the death of his wife. Jacob (Harvey Keitel) has taken his adopted son Scott (Ernest Liu) and daughter Kate (Juliette Lewis) on a vacation. They pull in at the Dew Drop Motel in Texas where they bump into the Fuller family. The two are pursued by FBI Agent Stanley Chase (John Saxon) and after leaving the liquor store in flaming ruin the two head to the Mexican border with their hostage bank teller Gloria Hill (Brenda Hillhouse) in tow. All quabbles and reservations aside, the spirit of Juan López Moctezuma proudly lives on in From Dusk Till Dawn.Īfter robbing a bank in Kansas and escaping jail, Seth Gecko (George Clooney) and his slightly psychotic and deeply unwell brother Richard (Quentin Tarantino) hold up Benny's World of Liquor where they add store clerk Pete Bottoms (John Hawkes) and Texas Ranger Earl McGraw (Michael Parks) to their ever-growing list of casualties. Eli Roth has done more for exploitation horror than Rodriguez or Tarantino ever did. A decade later both would reunite for Grindhouse (2007) but that was more of a valentine to ‘60s/’70s drive-in exploitation rather than a straight-up horror. Not only was From Dusk Till Dawn Tarantino’s first paid writing gig (he also executive produced and acted to help his friend Rob out), it’s also somewhat of an anomaly in the filmographies of both as Tarantino and Rodriguez haven’t made a horror before or since. Presumably something of a diversion in between serious projects Rodriguez and Tarantino threw this curveball in between Desperado (1995) and The Faculty (1998) as well as the 1970s crime epic valentine Pulp Fiction (1994) and the blaxploitation tribute Jackie Brown (1997), respectively. Rodriguez had just legitimized himself in the face of the Hollywood bigwigs, first by making El Mariachi (1992) by the skin of his teeth on a very modest budget of $7,000 and he had admirably evinced that he could handle a sizable budget with the remake Desperado (1995) the year before. Kurtzman in turn lend his talents to the effects with his Kurtzman, Nicotero & Berger EFX Group. This prompted Tarantino to hand it to Rodriguez and he gladly accepted. As the legend goes, Tarantino had offered the script to special effects man Robert Kurtzman to direct but he declined. What was From Dusk Till Dawn if not two friends getting together and throwing one hell of a kegger? These two friends just happened to be Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. What more could you possibly want? Occasionally the Hollywood machine gets something right. Who better to bring the Mexican spirit to America than the country’s promising export with the help from Hollywood’s hottest young new talent? From Dusk Till Dawn, or one of the best horror films of the ‘90s, may not reinvent the wheel but it puts a fresh spin on an old formula. Mexico always had been a steady haven for horror and earned its place in cult cinema history thanks to a handful of titles in the golden age. Hollywood had attempted to revive the classic gothic with Frankenstein Unbound (1990), Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) and Interview With the Vampire (1994) and Wes Craven’s Scream (1996) had resurrected (but not necessarily improved) the tired and tiring slasher for an entire new generation. Much of it had devolved into thrillers, self-aware or otherwise, on the one hand and comedy on the other. There’s no contesting that the ‘90s were pretty dark and abysmal time for the horror genre.

When streaming is enabled message bodies are not buffered and are sent directly to the client/server. When used in conjunction with client replay you can record the authentication process and simply replay it on start when you need to access secured resources. The stickycookie option will add the most recently set cookie to all cookie-less requests. HTTP Authorization headers are replayed to the server once they have been seen. The stickyauth option is similar to the sticky cookie option. The server_replay option lets you replay server responses from saved HTTP conversations. The proxyauth option asks the user for authentication before they are permitted to use the proxy. In this example we are setting the User-Agent header from ~/useragent.txt on all requests. A typical block_list pattern uses mitmproxies filter expression to construct patterns. You can instruct mitmproxy to return an HTTP status code or no response. The block_list option uses patterns that allow you to block specific websites or requests. Setting this option is useful if you want to make sure you capture a full HTTP exchange. This response tells the requester that the resource you’ve requested has not been updated since the last time you accessed it. During normal HTTP/S exchanges, these headers might elicit a 304 Not Modified response. The anticache option allows one to set a boolean that removes the if-none-match and if-modified-since headers. You can check out the full feature set from the docs here. Here is a brief overview of some of the features mitmproxy has to offer. This tool is great in that you can decrypt and modify packets on the fly. Mitmproxy is a free and open-source proxy capable of intercepting SSL/TLS for HTTP/1, HTTP/2, and WebSockets. One UI 5.1.1 brings the below-mentioned features related to Samsung Camera and Gallery, which Samsung will share with select older models with future software updates. Besides, gallery editing effect copy/paste functions have been added, and the photo remaster engine and usability have been optimized.

The Space Tycoon is a virtual space created by Samsung in order to build and play games in space and share experiences with alien characters.

Other than this, there are a lot of meanings available for the spelling “gnusmus” that vary on markets as well. nusmas stands for Gift of God, per a submission from Morocco.nusmas seems to be taking place of a new virtual assistant in near future.Īccording to information available on Google Search, G.While Samsung used the SAM as Galaxy products advisor in South America, the Samsung G In the image shared by the tipster, we can see a character like an alien, in a blue and gray outfit. However, we are aware of the increasing trends of virtual assistants nowadays, therefore, the cryptic image only suggests a new assistant. nusmas or the arrival of any new virtual assistant.So far, the South Korean tech giant has not revealed anything about the G nusmas as well, suggesting that there’s a new thing from the company that is coming.Recently, tipster shared an object’s image, which has a label of Samsung G After SAM, it looks like Samsung is preparing to introduce a new virtual assistant that could be called G In WPF, you could always write the random-rectangle logic as a Win32 or WinForms control, and then host that control in the WPF application, but that approach doesn't interest me very much. That might work for completely opaque rectangles, but when rectangles are partially transparent - and in WPF and Silverlight you really don't want to display boring opaque rectangles - the entire concept of a rectangle becoming completely covered up is no longer quite viable. What can be done to fix it?Īt first I thought I could write some logic to remove rectangles from the Grid when they are sufficiently covered up so they are no longer visible. So that's obviously the bad way to write a Silverlight random-rectangle program. At some point, I suspect some exception will be raised, but I don't know what that exception is, or if it's worthwhile waiting until it happens. Obviously as the number of children gets larger, this process becomes slower. Grid will then iterate through all its children in measure and arrange passes. Every time a new Path element is added to the Grid, it forces a whole new layout cycle. This is added to the Grid named LayoutRoot.Īt first it seems to work fine, but it doesn't take long before it begins to slow down dramatically. On receipt of that event, the program creates a Path object with a random color, a random transparency value, and random dimensions. This event is based on the frame rate of the video display, so it's pretty fast and a good choice for visuals. I use the CompositionTarget.Rendering event for creating each rectangle. Int height = (int)LayoutRoot.ActualHeight Ĭolor clr = Color.FromArgb(bytes, bytes, Void OnRendering(object sender, EventArgs args) Public partial class MainPage : UserControlĬompositionTarget.Rendering += OnRendering The code part of the MainPage class looks like this: The value of the ZIndex just ensures that it stays on top of everything else (which will have a default ZIndex of 0). This TextBlock is for a counter displayed at the upper-left corner. The MainPage.xaml file has just one item in the main Grid: You can download theīadRandomRectangle project or just follow along with my discussion. With the knowledge that the simple approach is not the way to write a Silverlight random-rectangle program, let's do so anyway. Let's switch to Silverlight for the remainder of this discussion. Well, I wouldn't be writing this blog entry if I didn't have a solution. All these rectangles would remain alive while the program continued running, requiring more and more memory every second! The object itself remains alive.Ī random-rectangle program for WPF (or Silverlight, for that matter) would create thousands of rectangle objects every few minutes. To draw a rectangle, you actually create an object derived from UIElement, and you typically display that object by adding it to a panel. In WPF, the video display is maintained in a visual-composition layer that retains all the visual objects. But WPF is a retained-mode graphics system. By the time the call returns to the application, the rectangle is on the screen. Here's the problem: When programming for the Windows API and frameworks prior to WPF, drawing a rectangle involves an API call that goes through the video device driver to render pixels on the display in the form of a rectangle. But I realized that any kind of simple random-rectangle program in WPF would just be wrong, wrong, wrong. I even created a new project named RandomRectangles, but as I started to type the code, I stopped dead in my tracks. Some of those early random-rectangle programs worked off the Windows timer, but the really fast ones replaced the normal message loop with a special PeekMessage loop and used all available CPU cycles for the magnificant splattering of color.īack when I was writing my book on the Windows Presentation Foundation,Īpplications = Code + Markup, I wanted to include a WPF random-rectangle program for old-times' sake. The traditional random-rectangle program is short, simple, silly, and ridiculously hypnotic as it covers the display with an ever increasing number of overlapping rectangles of random sizes and colors. I remember going to COMDEX in Las Vegas sometime in the early 90s when Microsoft Windows had just reached some kind of tipping point (at least among manufacturers if not users) and the floor of the Convention Center was ablaze with Windows machines, most of them running random-rectangle programs. Random Rectangles in Silverlight (using WriteableBitmap) Come on, you have got to admit that #2's death was just great and so funny! Let's get the rating up, it deserves better than a 6. Just let go and learn to have fun with the movie. Like I said, there are recycled jokes, but that doesn't keep you from laughing and having a good time. oops! I mean a billion dollars! There is another addition of a villain, Fat Bastard, despite most of his gross jokes, you except him into the Austin family. Austin must now go back in time back to the 60's and finds his sexy assistant, Felicity played by a very beautiful but pretty bad actress Heather Grahm. Dr.Evil decides to go back into the 60's and take over the world by aiming a "lazer" at the moon. Scott and Mini Me just steal the movie from this point on. Mini Me is just so cute and he wants to kill Scott. We have a new addition to the family with a miniature replica that is 1/8 the size of Dr. Evil escapes the giant dummy in space and heads back to Earth, Austin alone must go on his mission alone since we find out Venessa was a fembot. What is the phone number of Scott Cooper Metal Roofing You can try to dialing this number: 0265856701 - or find more information on their website: Where are the coordinates of the Scott Cooper Metal Roofing Latitude: -31.46595 Longitude: 152. We have Austin Powers and he's back and funnier and nakeder than ever! Despite some recycled jokes, they still get a laugh when he's walking through the hotel butt naked and only certain objects cover him. Maybe I was just in a good mood or something, but I was a little surprised by the rating of just 6.5 because I knew a lot of people who enjoyed the movie as well as I did. I know it sounds silly, but I just think this is one of the funniest movies I had ever seen.
