![]() ![]() I'm presuming you have at least three given that length.Īnd then take each subsequent layer of 2 by 12s and offset it right in the middle of the previous one so that the joints are always going to be at least six feet apart. So, what you're going to do here if you're working with 12-foot lengths, I would ensure that one of those plies, one of those 2 by 12s is butt joined directly over the central support post. A lot of problems that could arise from that and it's very easy to build a continuous beam. It could be done the way you're proposing, but I just would never do that. Question one, should I make each beam a continuous beam, or should I make each beam long enough out of separate beams the length of each distance between the support post and on center with those support posts below the beam?" The beams will be three-ply pressure-treated SP number two 2 by 12s, using 12-foot long lumber cut to fit the distances between the supporting posts. One is 27 and a half feet, the other one is 31 feet. "I'm building a ground level deck, maximum 24 inches above the ground, it's L-shaped and it'll have two long beams. How do you do it? Well, we've got a question that came in today from Patrick from Long Island.Īnd I'm going to explain to you and to Patrick how best to do that. Have you ever had to build a beam, a big triple ply beam that's longer than the lumber that you can buy, let's say 30 feet or so? Set them at 16 inches on center distances from each other and about 1-2" in from the edge of the board.Ĭheck out this video for more information: One above the other separated by about 6-7". Q2: b) Use a zig-zag pattern and double up on screws at the ends of each board. If you can get 316 screws that would be even better. ![]() But if you are in an environment where salt air or spray is an issue I would use stainless steel 304 screws. Q2: a) I would take some construction adhesive and apply it liberally in between each 2 by 12, screw with a number 10D 3-½" hot zinc screws or spiral nails would be great as a minimum. I will explain this further in the video below. Q1: I would recommend a single continuous beam made of staggered dimensional lumber that can span the required distance. What pattern would you recommend for the fasteners? I am in NY state, perhaps the code dictates some of this but I have not been able to find any information in the code. Given the environment, I want to use 316 stainless steel fasteners and preferably screws (structural screws). There will be no joist hangers on the sides. Should I make each beam a continuous beam or make should I make each long beam up out of separate beams the length of each distance between support posts "on center" that but in the middle of the support bracket? The beams will be 3-ply PT SP#2 2x12's using 12' long lumber cut to fit the distances between the supporting posts. It is L shaped and will have 2 long beams (27.5' and 31'). I am building a ground level deck (max 24" of the ground). Using these guidelines will help keep product clean, shed rain, and promote air circulation to dry off any incidental moisture.How to build a three-ply laminated 2x10 beam and what fasteners to use PWT LVL products should be protected by keeping the products wrapped, off the ground, stacked, and supported appropriately. Moisture content for in service conditions will vary widely. PWT LVL may swell, shrink, and change shape in response to moisture and adverse weather, even with the additional protection of factory applied sealants. When PWT LVL leaves the manufacturing facility, its dimension tolerances are within the manufacturer’s limits and the product moisture content is between 6-10%. This slight deviation in dimensions is called tolerance. Due to the manufacturing processes there may be slight variations between the product and nominal dimensions. PWT Laminated Veneer Lumber (PWT LVL) is produced to specific tolerances based on manufacturing equipment capabilities.

Meanwhile, the overall story casts you in the role of Peter who is sent to investigate the reason behind losing communication with the Pytheas Facility. For instance, the map layout stays the same at all times, but the layout of enemies, hazards, and loot changes every once in a while. Each character with their own powers, abilities, weapons.ĭespite being identical to Prey‘s story mode, it features one interesting twist. In this DLC, you have the freedom to choose from five different playable characters. Prey Mooncrash is a DLC that comes bundled in the Prey: Digital Deluxe Edition. Release Date: JDeveloper: Arkane Studios Publisher: Bethesda Softworks Platform: PC, Xbox 360, PS4 Engine: CryEngine I’ll be also delving into the beta game before Prey 2006 became a reality, and also shed light on mobile titles and DLCs. The majority of gamers tend to believe that only 2 games were launched, but that’s wrong. To commemorate the release of Prey, today we will be talking about every Prey game ever released. It’s a piece of unknown information, and I’m here to spread it. And if we include the canceled sequel to Prey (2006) and the beta (1995), it turns into 8 games. In case if you didn’t know, there are 6 Prey games. There’s this mix of weird ideas bundled together that I’m not ashamed of admitting how I fell in love with it. The next moment it jumps into a Metroidvania-like game with a bunch of puzzles. At times, the game is a typical first-person shooter. It’s a weird and interesting game with bulked ideas which makes it hard to pinpoint what is it truly trying to achieve. Prey borrows several influences from other titles (e.g System Shock) combined with unique ideas sandwiched together. However, the case with Prey is different. Titles such as Bulletstorm, Soldier of Fortune, and Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, while taking inspiration from several corners, drift from being typical shooters, or just a one-time experience. But at times, that’s not always the case. ![]() Most of the time, First-person shooters tend to share the same experience alike. ![]() She appears as herself and as her alter-ego, Magical Caren (マジカルカレン, ?). It is also revealed that the woman who finds Bazett and nurses her back to health is Caren. She and Avenger develop intimate feelings for each other. She continues to offer advice to him, perhaps knowing his true identity(s) all along. Shirou is eventually revealed to be an imposter or in the very least, not completely himself he is actually Avenger in the guise of Shirou (the real one is either not present in the game, or being possessed by Avenger). He is finally able to meet her without dying, but finds that he is experiencing strange feelings of anger and hatred and not acting like himself. Eventually, Shirou ends up defending Caren from the dark creatures that have appeared since the time loop began. Because she was not present in the previous war, she is not affected by the four day time loop.ĭuring Hollow ataraxia, Shirou Emiya finds that each time he runs into Caren, he dies. ![]() Dawn in Prelude has an ability very similar to her.Ĭaren serves an objective mediator in the false Holy Grail War created by Avenger and Bazett Fraga McRemitz and, in the place of the absent Kirei Kotomine, as the Master of Lancer and Gilgamesh. She was to originally be a character developed for the potential Tsukihime 2 along with Bazett, but she was redesigned for Fate instead. She was sent to Fuyuki by the Church to replace Kirei after his death and report the aftermath of the Fifth Holy Grail War. Despite being active in the same organization, she never encountered her father in any official capacity. She eventually became a priestess in the Church. It did not work, and rather than caring for Caren himself, he placed her in the custody of her mother's relatives, thus having her take up their surname. Her mother, who was very sickly, killed herself in a final attempt to help Kirei, who was on the verge of suicide due to his inherently twisted nature, feel he deserved to live. I’ll kill you,” she would seriously respond with “By all means.” Background Ĭaren is the daughter of Kirei Kotomine and Claudia Hortensia. If threatened with “You’re an annoying Master. Although she lacks Command Spells, she controls both Lancer and Gilgamesh with the force of her personality and the threat that her death would mean their ends as well. They also compare her to their previous master, Kirei, and note that Caren resembles the priest in many ways. Due to her somewhat twisted personality, both of her servants fear her and usually stay clear of the church just to get away from her. She can be thought of as "the mouthpiece for Kotomine's personality" in this regard. While this antagonizes many characters and causes much outrage and humiliation, she remains calm: once, when Avenger retorted in response to her, she squeezed his face without a change in expression. Upon discovery of an individual’s weak spot, she enjoys bringing it out to light in front of all the other characters. However, in contrast to her angelic persona, she also loves teasing people and exploiting others’ emotional vulnerability. Whenever she is at fault, she apologizes to God rather than the person. She never blames the person who has hurt her and blames the act on demons who caused the person to commit the sin. She claims that she has removed the skirt to both increase her mobility and to seduce men.Īs a priestess, Caren Hortensia has an angelic personality and is forgiving to the point that she believes her only purpose in life is to help others, even if she is hurt in the process. On the other hand, Caren also wears what she calls her 'exorcist uniform' which is composed of a dress and stockings but without a skirt. She is usually seen wearing church robes, and a hat if she is outdoors. Due to her demon detecting abilities, she is nearly always covered in bandages. Caren takes after her mother, Claudia, having light grey hair and golden eyes. ![]() Next came Pompey, who acquired the surname Magnus, meaning “the great,” by helping Sulla destroy Marius. Each with his massive armies occupied Rome each carried out a reign of terror-largely under republican law-in which his political opponents were openly slaughtered. The senators regained power for a time, but then two rival generals, Marius, in 107 B.C.E., and Sulla, in 88 B.C.E., took control. provoked fierce resistance from the patrician class, and those who introduced the reforms were killed after armed battles between their followers and those defending the Senate. The reforms in land ownership introduced between 134 and 122 B.C.E. In the century or so preceding the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 B.C.E., the Roman Republic endured almost constant upheavals. This is the play’s tragic irony, and some knowledge of Roman history can help us to appreciate it. and then by conquering his former ally Antony at Actium in 31 B.C.E. Octavius Caesar became sole emperor of Rome by defeating the conspirators in the final battle at Philippi in 42 B.C.E. The Roman Republic, however, never existed in the pure form in which the conspirators imagine it, and the reign of terror unleashed by their assassination of Caesar gave rise precisely to the rule of “one man” that they hoped to prevent. with liberty and justice for all.”) Brutus, once he is convinced that Caesar “would be crowned,” sees himself as destined to repeat his ancestor’s heroic mission: by killing Caesar, he will, he thinks, restore the true “Rome”-the Republic. (The government of the United States, in which power is shared among the president, the Congress, and the Supreme Court, is modeled on the Roman Republic, and the pledge of allegiance to the flag mentions “the republic . . . Then, supposedly, no one man can dominate Rome all male citizens will be free, and equal. They see themselves as Romans because they believe in the Republic and because they repudiate kingship so that power can be shared among the elected rulers, the aristocratic patricians who make up the Senate, and the people. ![]() Both Cassius and Brutus equate Rome with the Republic and the values it purports to embody. that drove the reigning dynasty from Rome, abolished kingship itself, and established the Roman Republic. The Tarquin drive when he was called a king.Īs many in Shakespeare’s audience might have known, Rome began as a kingship that lasted some 150 years until Lucius Junius Brutus, ancestor of this play’s Brutus, led an uprising in 510 B.C.E. My ancestors did from the streets of Rome Th’ eternal devil to keep his state in RomeĪ few scenes later (2.1), Brutus wrestles with the question of whether Caesar intends to become king, and recalls his own namesake: There was a Brutus once that would have brooked Rome, thou hast lost the breed of noble bloods! . . . When Cassius tries to persuade his friend Brutus that they must halt Julius Caesar’s rise to power, Cassius speaks of an idealized “Rome” of the past in which kingship was unthinkable: ![]() If this is not achieved, the game ends after the entire stock has run out. The game is won when all cards are built onto the foundations. A card that cannot be built on the tableau or on the foundations is placed on the waste pile, the top card of which is available for play. When no more cards can be moved, the stock (the remaining cards) is dealt one card at a time. A sequence or part of a sequence can be moved as a unit. The top cards of each column are available for play, to be built up by suit on the foundations, or on each other down by alternating colors. The object of the game is to release the Aces as they become available, creating foundations, and to then build up each suit from the Ace. This results in an alternating OXOXOXO pattern. The second, fourth, and sixth cards from the top are face down. In each column, the top card, the third and fifth cards from the top and the bottom card are face up. They must be built in ascending sequence, from the ace to the king.Alternation is a solitaire card game which is played using two decks of playing cards.įorty-nine cards are set up into seven columns of seven cards each.

On 12 April 2010 Dolphin 2.0 was released. The emulator's GUI was also reworked to make it more user-friendly, and the Direct3D plug-in received further work. Also improved was the Netplay feature of the emulator, which allowed players to play multiplayer GameCube and Wii games online with friends, as long as the game did not require a Wii Remote. īy late October 2009, several new features were incorporated into the emulator, such as automatic frame-skipping, which increased the performance of the emulator, as well as increased stability of the emulator overall. Adjustments to the emulator had allowed users to play select games at full speed for the first time, audio was dramatically improved, and the graphical capabilities were made more consistent aside from minor problems. īy April 2009, most commercial games, GameCube and Wii alike, could be fully played, albeit with minor problems and errors, with a large number of games running with few or no defects. Shortly after, almost all versions of the Wii system software became bootable. The Wii's close architectural relation to GameCube made it backwards-compatibleīy February 2009, the software was able to successfully boot and run the official Wii System Menu v1.0. As with previous builds, differences between consecutive builds are typically minor. The preview builds and unofficial SVN builds were released with their revision number (e.g., RXXXX) rather than version numbers (e.g., 1.03).
