Monkey paw rake9/19/2023 "If you've had your three wishes it's no good to you now then Morris," said the old man at last. His tones were so grave that a hush fell upon the group. Yes," was the reply, "I don't know what the first two were, but the third was for death. "And has anybody else wished?" persisted the old lady. "I did," said the sergeant-major, and his glass tapped against his strong teeth. "And did you really have the three wishes granted?" asked Mrs. The soldier regarded him the way that middle age is wont to regard presumptuous youth."I have," he said quietly, and his blotchy face whitened. "Well, why don't you have three, sir?" said Herbert White cleverly. His manners were so impressive that his hearers were conscious that their light laughter had jarred somewhat. He put a spell on it so that three separate men could each have three wishes from it." He wanted to show that fate ruled people's lives, and that those who interfered with it did so to their sorrow. "It had a spell put on it by an old Fakir," said the Sergeant-Major, "a very holy man. White as he took it from his son, and having examined it, placed it upon the table. "And what is there special about it?" inquired Mr. White drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously. He took something out of his pocket and proffered it. "To look at," said the Sergeant-Major, fumbling in his pocket, "it's just an ordinary little paw, dried to a mummy." The visitor absent-mindedly put his empty glass to his lips and then set it down again. ![]() His three listeners leaned forward eagerly. "Well, it's just a bit of what you might call magic, perhaps." said the Sergeant-Major off-handedly. "what was that that you started telling me the other day about a monkey's paw or something, Morris?" "I should like to see those old temples and fakirs and jugglers," said the old man. He put down the empty glass and sighning softly, shook it again. "Better where you are," said the Sergeant-Major, shaking his head. "I'd like to go to India myself," said the old man, just to look around a bit, you know." "He don't look to have taken much harm." said Mrs. "When he went away he was a slip of a youth in the warehouse. The Sergeant-Major took hands and taking the proffered seat by the fire, watched contentedly as his host got out whiskey and tumblers and stood a small copper kettle on the fire.Īt the third glass his eyes got brighter, and he began to talk, the little family circle regarding with eager interest this visitor from distant parts, as he squared his broad shoulders in the chair and spoke of wild scenes and doughty deeds of wars and plagues and strange peoples. "Sergeant-Major Morris, " he said, introducing him. White said, "Tut, tut!" and coughed gently as her husband entered the room followed by a tall, burly man, beady of eye and rubicund of visage. The new arrival also condoled with himself, so that Mrs. ![]() The old man rose with hospitable haste and opening the door, was heard condoling with the new arrival. ![]() "There he is," said Herbert White as the gate banged to loudly and heavy footsteps came toward the door. the words died away on his lips, and he hid a guilty grin in his thin grey beard. White looked up sharply, just in time to intercept a knowing glance between mother and son. "Never mind, dear," said his wife soothingly "perhaps you'll win the next one." I suppose because only two houses in the road are let, they think it doesn't matter." I don't know what people are thinking about. White with sudden and unlooked-for violence "Of all the beastly, slushy, out of the way places to live in, this is the worst. "That's the worst of living so far out," balled Mr. "I should hardly think that he's come tonight, " said his father, with his hand poised over the board. "I'm listening," said the latter grimly surveying the board as he stretched out his hand. White, who, having seen a fatal mistake after it was too late, was amiably desirous of preventing his son from seeing it. ![]() Father and son were at chess the former, who possessed ideas about the game involving radical chances, putting his king into such sharp and unnecessary perils that it even provoked comment from the white-haired old lady knitting placidly by the fire. Without, the night was cold and wet, but in the small parlour of Laburnum villa the blinds were drawn and the fire burned brightly. "Be careful what you wish for, you may receive it." -Anonymous

Msi dragon gaming center laptop9/19/2023 ![]() You both, Bad □ Motha and Monkey are actually right, depending on the firmware's software, some do code windows registries but Asus, I noticed a lot of issues I read about MSI and Gigabyte are not common with Asus but yes the RGB commands and codes are on both Windows registries and registered memory of the hardware itself. and all my fans, ram, cooler, gpu are all displaying the colors I had set to them. I mainly use EVGA gpus and ASUS mobos and never had a problem. Yes possibly an issue with MSI cards then I guess. However it doesn't work like that and that is why I made my point about it. ![]() I complained to MSI about that very thing saying it is expected to be able to store the changes on the GPU itself exactly the way you describe. But not when shutdown and not if I uninstall the MSI SDK. If I merely restart my system in stays using what I set. How about you listen to someone that owns the hardware and has actually complained to MSI about it?Īfter a shutdown my MSi RTX 2060 Super boots with the Rainbow effect, Factory settings, until it reaches Windows. all of that can be saved to the device so that should I plug into a different PC or wipe my own PC, or load up into a different OS that all of that is already there, per the device itself. While my Logitech G500/G500S don't have customization for led colors, it does for the dpi, polling rate, sensitivity. We've had the ability to do this for approx a decade with various devices that have LEDs, such as my old Alienware keyboard for example. But again once changed the program cam be uninstalled and never needed unless wanted to change it again. Just need a program to initially change them is all. You could then leave it alone once changed how you want, it does not rely on anything inside any OS to keep the colors. Which is why all those colors are correct when you first power on your PC. When you change the colors for your fans, mouse, keyboard, cpu cooler, gpu. Originally posted by Bad □ Motha:Never heard of such a thing.

Golden spike apartments9/19/2023 ![]() Additionally, the existing fire alarm system was modified, the surveillance system was upgraded, power was added for a new trash compactor and generator, and nurse call buttons were placed in every unit. To update the building’s operation, the existing fire sprinkler system was updated, the sewer line was replaced along with some of the water shut off valves, new drinking fountains were installed, and modified duct work was required for the 1st floor and 12th floor common spaces. Additionally, the resident lounge on the 12 th floor was remodeled with a computer lab and gym, and new flooring was installed in the main entry, corridors, offices, gym and lounge area. Internally, the building received new elevators, new double automatic door openers at the existing entry, new mailboxes, and unit and floor identification signage. The building’s exterior received new windows as well as improved landscaping and irrigation.

Magical express petition9/19/2023 ![]() In October, RAYGUN Clothing, which employs 110 people in locations in Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Nebraska, will join them. Wild Bird Habitat Stores, Mana Games and Shirts 101 all start their employees at $15 an hour. Some small businesses in Nebraska have already found success paying their employees higher wages. 6, Secretary of the State of Nebraska Bob Evnen announced that both Initiative 433 and Initiative 432, the voter ID amendment, had received the necessary amount of signatures to be added to the ballot in the midterm election. Nebraska’s minimum wage has been $9 an hour since 2016, $1.75 higher than the federal minimum. In January 2022, California became the first. ![]() If successful, Initiative 433 would make Nebraska the latest state to enact a $15 minimum wage. For workers compensated by gratuities, such as wait staff, the minimum wage will not increase from $2.13 an hour. Initiative 433, also known as the minimum wage statute, would raise Nebraska’s minimum wage from $9 to $10.50 an hour in 2023, to $12 in 2024, to $13.50 in 2025 and to $15 in 2026, followed by adjustments for living costs in subsequent years. This November, Nebraskans will have the opportunity to vote on raising the minimum age in the midterm election. While the cost of labor is the largest expense for small businesses - in some cases up to 70 percent of total costs - some Nebraska business owners already pay their employees more than the state’s current minimum wage - and they are advocating that other businesses do the same. Gunsmoke season 159/19/2023 ![]() If you find yourself in this predicament, then Wanted Dead or Alive will be your ticket out. Loads of Western TV shows have a hold on modern audiences still, but too many of those classics from the '50s and '60s feel the same. Once The Great Escape premiered, it was game over for small-screen producers. Once the third season finished airing, McQueen already had several movies lined up, including The Honeymoon Machine and Hell is for Heroes. McQueen would return for another season after filming his first major movie, with the show even making changes to Josh Randall's costume that made him look more like his Magnificent character. Once the actor saw super-massive acclaim after appearing in The Magnificent Seven, it seemed as though his time in TV land was officially up. Yes, Dead or Alive is the perfect show for folks looking to break out of the trappings of other Western shows from this period, but you still have to get a little sweet sometimes. You can find some episodes following Randall as he goes to help dysfunctional families settle their problems, helps someone kick their alcoholism and find a better life, and even takes on an eight-cent assignment from a young boy - to bring in Santa Claus. Randall doesn't always go where the action is, there are actually moments where he just wants to be a helping hand. He's a seasoned cowboy who doesn't like it when people get too close to him, but he also has a soft side. Viewers can typically expect episodes to follow Josh Randall as he's looking for outlaws and gunslingers who are wanted dead or alive, with Randall either handcuffing these guys and taking them in or pumping them full of lead with his "Mare's Leg," his short barrel Winchester rifle. Most of the time, this show does make good on the promise that its title lays out. Not only that, the variety of missions that he takes on gives Wanted a lot more variety than most other programs that were airing in the late 50s and early 60s. His often conflicting nature jumping between his easygoing, helpful personality, and his emotionally distant, tough guy moments makes him one of the most interesting protagonists in any Western TV show at the time. That being said, Randall also intervenes with people's personal conflicts, tries to help random down-and-out folks that he comes across, and does what he can to improve the lives of people around him in general. Wanted Dead or Alive isn't the most action-packed Western TV show ever, but it is the coolest, and that entirely leans on McQueen's performance. If a natural parting of ways doesn't distance Randall from others, then something tragic will come along and send him back on his lonesome. He'll have words with folks occasionally, will sometimes start making friendships, and in episodes like "Journey for Josh," he'll even come close to having a relationship. He outlaws in without much thought - a job is a job. Everywhere he goes, Randall remains a man of few words. Randall might be young, but he's already seen enough stuff to be a bit of a grizzled drifter. Steve McQueen leads Wanted Dead or Alive as Josh Randall, a veteran and bounty hunter who hunts both those who are truly "wanted dead or alive." Yeah, shocker, but that's what makes him so cool! That and the quiet, unsuspecting way he carries himself. Cool origami dragon9/19/2023 Now, let's get started! Check out the origami dragon video below and learn how to fold this design.
