![]() ![]() Blaze’s own family tree derives its powers from a shard from the Medallion of Power, home to the Spirits of Vengeance. This manifestation derives from a bonding between Blaze and the demon Zarathos. At night and in the presence of evil, Blaze transforms into hellfire his head becomes a blazing skull. Stunt motorcyclist Johnny Blaze offer his soul to Mephisto in order to save his father, thus giving birth to Ghost Rider. Let’s back up and answer the first question. The better question to ask is: “Who is this Ghost Rider?” Like most long-time Marvel characters, there’s no single answer to that question. Like it or not, the Ghost Rider arrived in this side junction of the MCU with all of his fire and brimstone, so we better get to know him. It also fits into the next phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) that’s delving deeply into mysticism and magic - Doctor Strange is out in theaters later this year - but that’s thin conjuring on which to hang a season. Ghost Rider does deliver other positives, such bringing another strong ethnic character to the show, as well as building upon the anti-hero popularity found in Daredevil‘s Punisher (Jon Bernthal). jumps the shark in a way by integrating Ghost Rider Robbie Reyes (Gabriel Luna) into the show.Ĭrossing over into the occult may be a simple ploy to play off the popularity and longevity of other supernatural shows like Supernatural, True Blood, and Whedon properties Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but with the seasoned writing crew, they’ll likely find hooks that elevate it above its initial motivations, even if it provides the creative team with familiar unhallowed ground. With season four, however, Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. often prove otherworldly, they typically have some basis in science fiction rather than the occult. ![]()

![]() ![]() RB9 actual PPR PPGįast forward to 2023, and Kareem Hunt remains a free agent while D’Ernest Johnson signed with the Jaguars. It’s a minor miracle how well Chubb has performed in fantasy land over the years considering the extent to which the Browns have refrained from fully featuring him: Honorable mentionĪ few weeks ago, I would have said that getting the 1.01 to secure Justin Jefferson would've been the ideal draft slot to pair with guys like Barkley, Pollard, and Derrick Henry on the Round 2-3 turn, but alas, those days sure seem to be over. Another perk of drafting Kupp is that Matthew Stafford continues to stand out as one of fantasy’s single-best late-round QB options to stack with Kupp in the double-digit rounds. Kupp gets the nod for me in Round 1 because it’s rare to be able to get the back-to-back reigning, undisputed fantasy WR1 champion in PPR points per game (PPG) at a slight discount. Metcalf or Calvin Ridley or one of the Baltimore studs, Mark Andrews and QB Lamar Jackson, are typically still on the board. Even if you don't like the RBs in that third round range, strong WR options like D.K. Hell, Nick Chubb occasionally falls and is still available at those picks.Īnd finally, t here are generally still good opportunities to get another dope RB in the form of Josh Jacobs or Rhamondre Stevenson in Round 3 when starting from the 1.04 or 1.05 draft slot. Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY SportsĪdditionally, one of Tony Pollard, Saquon Barkley, or Derrick Henry is usually still available at pick No. Inglewood, California, USA Arizona Cardinals cornerback Antonio Hamilton (33) forces an incomplete pass to Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp (10) in the first half at SoFi Stadium. Right now, the 1.04 and 1.05 picks are especially intriguing to me for a few reasons.įor one, I consider Kupp and Tyreek Hill to be in the same tier as Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase, so you’re pretty much guaranteed to secure one of these alpha WR1s with Christian McCaffrey typically off the board within the first four overall picks. Rather, the bigger goal in the first round is figuring out which draft position offers the best range of options for the first few rounds as a whole. You can check out the completely free Fantasy Life Rankings for that. It’s not my intention to simply list the highest-ranked fantasy player in every round. Īnd as always: It’s a great day to be great. ![]() If you're curious, I’ve also already broken down my favorite specific ranges of drafts. We’ll use Underdog ADP while assuming 18 rounds and 12 teams. Here are my favorite picks in every round of fantasy drafts for the 2023 season. That said, having already completed over 150 best ball drafts along with a handful of redraft squads this offseason, I've identified certain targets that I repeatedly attempt to come away with at cost in drafts. This is mostly due to the draft spot order and managers involved changing but also because a lot can change in a hurry over the course of 200-plus picks. It’s pretty difficult to exactly replicate any individual fantasy roster from one draft to the next. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I count it the fault of the team of King George, mind you.

The Deep Monkey Knowledge System is an original gaming feature that allows monkey groups and monkey towers to have more than 100 meta upgrades. Each upgrade comes with unique abilities for attacking the balloons. Hero monkeys can have up to 20 key upgrades. Each tier is good at attacking a particular type of balloon. Most of the monkey towers can be upgraded to three different tiers, but there is one that can be upgraded up to 5 tiers. You’ll notice the difficult maps contain 3D objects which obstruct the players and prevent them from seeing the monkey tower. You can play up to 30 unique maps in this Bloons TD 6 game. Of course, the more complex maps will feature new balloons, such as the Fortified Bloons, B.A.D. The heroes will also learn new abilities too. When you assemble monkey towers and pop balloons with them, you can receive upgrades like new skins and additional firepower. It is also very addictive because players tend to keep popping “Bloons” for hours. The latest game, Bloons TD 6, is the most visually impressive of the series. Numerous spinoff games were made in its honor, such as Bloons TD Battles, Bloons Tower Defense, Bloons Adventure Time, and Bloons Super Monkey. Since 2011, the Bloons TD game has been played more than three billion times worldwide. The popularity of the game encouraged further sequels to be made. Ninja Kiwi hosted the flash gaming website where Bloons TD first premiered. ![]() Their inspiration came from the balloons and darts used in other carnival games. ![]() ![]() Chris Harris and Stephen Harris were two brothers who created the first Bloons TD game back in 2007. ![]() ![]() ![]() 5.Remove the battery, tray and support.6.Remove the driver side splash shield from under the car. If you don’t have a Miata available go hit the junkyard. The one I stole off my 96 Miata would not fit here so I put it on the rear of the engine. You have to use this lift eye because it is the only one that will fit. You will see an empty threaded hole right above the alternator. I took the one off the back of the engine and bolted it to the provided spot on the left front corner of the engine head.

It was really not has hard as I thought it would be, but I would not recommend this procedure if this is the first time you have ever done a clutch change on anything. If you buy from this dealer just be prepared on what the vehicle might look like or in this case smell like too.After reading many incomplete strings on how to change the clutch I decided to try it on my own and write about it. In my opinion the salesman is a typical sneaky salesman and by the posting it seems like the owner might be the same way. Knowing how much he lied about the vehicle upfront just made me wonder what else was wrong with the vehicle mechanically. He said it's used so this is what you get. This was a 2016 vehicle so all the problems it had didn't just seem like wear an tear but he acted like I was an idiot an that I should of known that the vehicle was going to look like that. I talked to the salesman that I talked with on the phone and all he had to say was it was all wear an tear an thar I was being to picky. ![]() There was also somthing sticky all over the carpet in the back. The driver side sear had a huge hole in the side of it where it looked like it got cut out and not just from wear. The inside of the vehicle smelled like it had mold in it there was pieces missing from the overhead storage compartment. The lower Part of the bumper was disconnected and it had been hit before cause it was spider cracked all over. I over looked the outside of the vehicle and there was rust all over the edge of the hood about 2 inches up, and they just painted over it. Well I was fooled I went there to look at the vehicle and the posting said it had remote start but when I got the key there was no fob to do the remote start, so I asked if there was a key fob that went with the vehicle and he said no but he could program one to unlock the car. I told the guy I was going to have to drive 1 hour and 30 minutes just to get there and to please be honest about its condition. I was skeptical by the posting because it said the exact same thing. I called the dealer about a vehicle that I was interested in purchasing and the salesman led me to believe that the vehicle was in excellent condition inside and out. *LOW MILEAGE* THIS AWD 2005 PONTIAC VIBE IS IN GOOD CONDITION IN AND OUT!

Located in Cincinnati, OH / 824 miles away from Rutland, ND They couldn’t have made any money on the sale with the cost of that repair but did the honorable thing and fixed it for free. When I saw other reviews for this dealer I was skeptical but after they went above and beyond to do that kind of repair when they no longer even owned the car I would definitely trust these guys. They replaced the turbo which is a big, difficult and expensive repair free of charge and told me to bring it back if I have anymore issues with the car in the near future. On the test drive everything ran great, unfortunately on the way home after buying the turbo failed, a rare failure for this engine, I called MJ my salesman who was shocked, he immediately told me to bing it back in and they would take care of it no problem.

On December 8, 2020, City Council approved a proposal to rezone the site from (AGU) Urban Reserve Zone to (US) Urban Services Zone and (AP) Public Park Zone ( item 3.14) and removal of the municipal reserve ( item 3.12). On Octo(item 9.7), City Council directed City Administration to take all steps to finalize the sale of the Kiniski Gardens South site. A report requesting that the Kiniski Gardens South site be removed from Policy C583 was subsequently approved by Council on Septem( item 6.5). () The property, which was abandoned for decades, will need some updating and cleaning. In September 2016, City Administration presented a report to Executive Committee (item 6.6) proposing that the site be sold to the Headway School Society of Alberta for the purposes of building a private school. The 1.2 hectare vacant school site at 3804-38 Street in Kiniski Gardens was declared surplus by local school boards in 2009, and subsequently approved by City Council in 2015 for development into a mix of market and affordable medium-density housing under the Building Housing Choices initiative (policy C583). The Edmonton Public Library is no longer considering this site for a new library. The 3.9 ha of open space will be retained by the City and will continue to serve sports, recreation and community league uses. The community will be informed in advance of any development plans and public engagement opportunities. The site will be developed as a mix of market and non-market medium density housing. A report on the findings is expected in fall 2021. On February 1, 2021, Executive Committee ( item 6.9) passed a motion directing Administration to evaluate a building location at the east side of Henderson Estates Park, adjacent to Riverbend Road, as an alternative to the existing surplus school site. The 1.2 ha vacant school building site at 3408 Riverbend Road was declared surplus by local school boards in 2009 and approved for affordable housing development under the Building Housing Choices initiative ( policy C583) by City Council in 2015. The Henderson Estates school park site consists of 3.9 ha of planned open space and a 1.2 ha vacant school building site.

And the MP3 plug-in is a cool feature but that about takes care of all the snazziness.įor an elliptical trainer listed at $899 MSRP that usually sells for around $599, the Proform 650T Spacesaver will not break the bank but if you are looking for a machine that can take a beating you may want to spend your hard earned money elsewhere. On the plus side, consumers like that the ProForm 650T SpaceSaver elliptical trainer offers three different stride lengths which means you can target the front quads in the 13" setting, the gluts and hamstrings in the mid-range 15" length, and then the hamstrings in the longest stride. Customer service is notoriously bad and getting replacement parts can be a nightmare. ![]() The 90 day warranty on parts and labor is feeble and ProForm likes them short like this - believing, of course, that you’ll be happy to buy an extended warranty from the company. While the experts take note of all the “extras”, such as sound system and heart rate monitor thrown in on the ProForm 650T SpaceSaver, the main issue remains that this elliptical trainer is constructed with some cheap components. But you have to ask, so what? They should have focused their budget on including a heavier flywheel and giving the 650T a better ergonomic design. Icon Fitness/ProForm has put a lot of effort into their patented 1-Step SpaceSaver® technology which allows the base and pedals to fold up, thereby saving you all of three feet of floor space.

![]() ![]() Soul singer Reuben Richards credits Roberts for hearing “dat ting” in his voice and recording his debut album in 1987. Roberts was an instrumental figure to West Indian musicians in London throughout his decade-spanning, pioneering career. He’d clench his fists, and you could see the ecstasy written on his face Reuben Richards He licensed Montserratian artist Arrow’s 1984 calypso hit Hot Hot Hot, before producing his highest-charting single in 1986 with St Vincent artist Judy Boucher’s soft reggae single Can’t Be With You Tonight – which was beaten to No 1 by Madonna’s La Isla Bonita. ![]() Manning the shop from Monday to Saturday, Roberts recorded music in rented studio spaces on Sundays, producing Nigerian band the Nkengas’ Destruction album in 1971 – one of the earliest examples of Afrobeat music in the UK. In 1970, Roberts resuscitated his passion for music and opened Orbitone, a record shop in Harlesden that stocked reggae, ska, calypso, Afrobeat, merengue and jazz. The booming Island Records took over the former Planetone space, and by the late 60s, Gopthal and Blackwell teamed up to establish Trojan Records, spawning an era of chart-topping reggae, ska and rocksteady hits including Ken Boothe’s UK No 1 single Everything I Own, Dandy Livingstone’s A Message to You, Rudy, and Desmond Dekker’s You Can Get It If You Really Want. With an infant child and another baby on the way, Roberts closed the studio in 1965 to focus on the more lucrative carpentry gigs. “I never had to say: Sonny, would you please shut up!” he laughs. Attesting to the skill of Roberts’ carpentry knowhow, Betteridge does not recall hearing the muffled sounds of the brass and bongos played below. He remembers Roberts would pass by his office to get to his studio, which he recalls as a “pretty basic, four-track recording space with egg boxes on the ceiling to baffle the sound”. ![]() “It was quite intimate!” says David Betteridge, who was Island Records’ managing director at the time. Roberts pictured with the singer Arrow in 1984 ![]() West Indian music was the lifeblood of the building, rhythmically pulsating through each floor of the bustling three-storey house. Island Records moved on to the site, and Gopthal founded a music distribution company Beat & Commercial. In 1963, Roberts told his friend Chris Blackwell, who he met through a furniture commission, about a ground-floor office available at 108 Cambridge Road that could suit Blackwell’s fledgling Island Records operation. Roberts rented the basement from Indian-Jamaican landlord Lee Gopthal, who lived in the upstairs. “Sonny had that entrepreneurial spirit that the Windrush generation arrived with: we’re going to do it, in spite of the challenges.” They’re having to create that scene and build that community,” says Mykaell Riley, director of the Black Music Research Unit at the University of Westminster. Named after his favourite wood polish, he’d bring Lavender to parties, seeing the opportunity in West Indians’ ever-growing demand for ska, reggae, mento and calypso sounds from home. The sound systems were Roberts’ inroads into the music business: a skilled furniture maker and joiner, he crafted loudspeakers, eventually building his own sound system, Lavender. The studio was established in the backdrop of the Notting Hill race riots, and located less than a mile away from the racially aggravated 1959 murder of Antiguan man Kelso Cochrane.įorced to navigate a hostile and segregated London, West Indians found solace in hand-built sound systems: mobile discos built from a vinyl player souped up to large speaker boxes. Planetone stood out as a safe space for Black musicians during a time of intense racial discrimination towards the newly arrived Windrush generation, who had predominantly settled in London’s north west. Even if they weren’t recording, they’d come sit and listen. She says her husband and his studio were deeply valued by the community: “Sonny never turned anyone away. They were married for 52 years, moving back to Jamaica in 1997, where they lived together until Sonny died in 2021. Monica and Sonny struck up a romance over ska and R&B grooves in the Planetone basement. Some of them didn’t have a job, y’know? Wages were small,” Monica recalls. “Sonny would cook up lamb soup, or stewed pork, and give them a little something. Sonny Roberts always made sure guests were warm and well fed. “When the musicians heard about 108 Cambridge Road, there was an influx,” says his wife Monica Roberts, who met Sonny in the studio while chaperoning her adolescent pianist niece, Ornell Welsh, for recording sessions. ![]() |
