![]() ![]() ![]() We knew the characters well enough in advance that I did not write out a lot of the details. With our first example, we know the story of Little Red Riding Hood well and have a very good idea of how the story would unfold. Being able to move your different notes and connect them as needed gives you a lot of flexibility! Mind Map Example #2: Half Baked Book: When You’re Not Sure What Your Book is About Yet Using a mind map in this way is a great method to use when you already have a good understanding of your plot, characters, and the different scenes that will happen in your novel. It lists the characters, the setting, the point of view, and a rough outline of the 6 main scenes/chapters I would include if I were writing this story as a book. This first example of Little Red Riding Hood is a very structured method of mind mapping your novel. While the original story of course is not a novel with chapters, the storyline and plot is familiar enough that it will help you identify some of the different aspects of how we went about organizing the ideas in a mind map. In this example mindmap, we are looking at the familiar tale of Little Red Riding Hood. It’s one of my favorite writing tools! Mind Map Novel Example #1: Little Red Riding Hood Note: If you like these mind maps shown below, each of these mind map examples we use below were used with the software program Scapple from Literature & Latte – the same company which gives us every writer’s favorite software Scrivener.

There are several types of sand casting, including green sand casting, skin-dried sand casting, dry sand casting and no-bake sand casting. Because they can withstand indefinite use, graphite molds can produce castings with accuracy, again and again. Permanent mold casting uses reusable graphite molds that are ideal for manufacturing high-precision components. In this process, the mold is formed around a wax pattern that is burned away when the molten metal is poured in. Investment casting is one of the oldest known metal-forming methods.

Hover over any one of those rows, and you’ll get a series of six icons: set aside, mark as priority, unread or done (which archives it), pin it to the inbox, trash it and snooze it for later. There’s no visible left pane showing your email accounts and no reading pane to let you quickly look over an email. The default is an all-inclusive inbox, blending mail from all your addresses. The inbox is a series of rows, each containing the sender’s name, subject line, a content snippet and the time the email arrived. Spark 3 attempts to rethink email by dramatically simplifying the design. You can use it as an email app, but there are so many things missing and so much that is promising but poorly executed. I don’t want to say that Spark 3 is a disaster, but it kind of is.

There’s a left sidebar featuring inboxes and folders, a center well with email headers and a mini-summary of the content, and a right-hand reading pane. Spark 2 uses the design conventions that Outlook and other venerable email apps have long established, so it’s familiar. I reviewed it last November on my personal blog. It’s free for individuals, with a paid version for corporate teams. The company, based in Ukraine, promised that a Windows version was coming soon.

Here you can find the credits to the authors who support me by giving permission to use their stuff in this mod. Besides, I have to mention Monsieur Arnaud (EXCALIBUR) and Monsieur Bernard (GEZERE) who taught me how to deal with Zmodeler and will be both my mentors forever.

The MOD can be modify at anytime but do not forget to give the credits to all the authors who contributed in any way to its construction. The MOD does not have many kilometers in testing and that's why some bugs are expected. Improvements can be done, any help from the community would be most welcome. The MOD is not perfect for sure but was the best I could do. I could reduce this folder by half but the quality would decrease a lot, then I decided to keep all the files with the original size. įinally, the MOD is huge ( about 6 GB ), specially, the cars folder. You should find other weird things and errors, all related to the same reasons. I apologize for that, I had to do that, otherwise would be impossible to create the performance's files and even the MOD configuration. For all these reasons, I had to make changes and had to “forget” some driver. Some drivers, switch from one team to other in the middle of the season, sometimes changing even to teams with different engines, racing in the first part of the season in a team powered by Honda and in the remaining season in a team powered by Chevrolet. The original RFactor MOD is quite detailed, having many different specifications according to the tracks of the season ( Street circuits, Road courses and Oval circuits ). There are more than 11 teams and more drivers than 22 in the Official Indycar Season and the GP4 is limited to only 11 teams and 22 drivers in the grid. Īs in the Indycar MOD 2016, there is a problem between the GP4 and the real Indycar. ![]() Thank you to them for giving me the permissions to convert their MOD. Their MOD was based in the Ind圜ar 2009 mod for Rfactor made by Mike Peters. ![]() This project, the Verizon Indycar 2017 MOD is actually an update of the the Verizon Indycar 2016 MOD released by myself earlier this year which was a conversion of a great Rfactor MOD made by Vitor "Shadow" Souza in collaboration with Stex1973 and PA Popov. I do not know if other MODs were released, if were let me know, I can edit this post at anytime. Finally in 2008, Meteoro405 released the Indycar 2008 MOD. In 2006, the RSP group in cooperation with IDT group released the ChampCar 06/05 for GP4. The same authors released the Champcar 2003 MOD. In 2002, Diego Noriega (Oggo) and Adriano Bariggi (Adry77) released the CART 2002 MOD. Our most deep, sincere and true thanks to pk4ever, and for the members responsable for FAERJ, specially to Djalma de Faria Neves, Fernando Leal and Luis Felipe Pereira Silva, for the attencion and good will to help us gather the material for the conversion of the Nelson Piquet circuit.There are some Indycar MODs made in the past, I am a bit worried in giving the credits to the authors wrongly as it is not exactly well clear who were the authors of them, anyway I will try. Nowadays, the short version is used by the Stock Car Brasil and in this year begins the creation of a Kart complex in the circuit area. In 2007 the track suffered serius modifications because of the Pan American Games, when the north part of the track was removed to give room for a sportive complex. From 1996 until 2000 the oval track was used by CART. The first event hapenned in 1978 and until 1989 it was used by F1 as the Brazilian GP. This circuit is placed on Rio de Janeiro, and holds the name of one of the most important brazilian drivers, Nelson Piquet. Soon we'll release the oval, club and short version. At first it would be restricted, only for the rFactorBrasil league, but we decided to launch it to everyone.

![]() I was influenced a lot by Monroe, Wakefield, and McReynolds. He’d have to weigh in on this, but to my ear the two biggest influences I hear in his playing are Bill Monroe and Bobby Osborne, who I think was the gateway to post-Monroe styles. How would you say your mandolin style differs from Butch’s? We haven’t done a lot of those in recent years, but we used to play Little Rabbit, Tennessee Blues, Redwood Country, and one of Butch’s called Saturday Matinee. Do you ever play mandolin duets with Butch Waller? We’re all a bunch of old guys now, and I was “new” late in the 20th century when I joined in 1988. I’ve heard tell you’re the new pup in High Country. But I tend to learn things more from sax players, trumpet players, pianists, and guitarists. At some point I realized maybe I could turn it into something.Ĭurrent guys like Don Stiernberg, Aaron Weinstein, and Jason Anick, and the pioneers like Tiny Moore, Jethro Burns, and Johnny Gimble-especially Tiny. Initially, my jazz CD was just something I was fooling around with. I never realized that song could be so cool until I heard Art. Like in Alice in Wonderland, those two nights and that tune made me feel like I went through some kind of door into another world. I’d never heard of Art, went to a couple of those shows, recorded them on a little cassette recorder, and was blown away! Someone asked Art to play Caravan, but he said he was too incapacitated and that he’d rather play Ode to Billie Joe-a simpler tune with only three chords to keep track of. One night he told me he was playing in a little club in Monterey with an alto player named Art Pepper, and that I should go hear his playing. He knew and played with everyone in jazz, and was Charlie Parker’s roommate in Kansas City before Parker rose to fame. He’d retired from playing in the CBS Orchestra and moved to Carmel Valley to raise horses. Thanks! In my first bluegrass band, the Coast Ridge Boys (Big Sur, 1974), we had a veteran musician playing bass with us by the name of Buddy (“Burger”) Jones. I love your treatment of Ode to Billie Joe. I got past it by just practicing more, which wasn’t hard because I’ve always enjoyed practicing. I now realize it was just nervousness, which still comes up from time to time, but in a much more manageable form. I had a moment of thinking, maybe there’s some kind of medical issue preventing me from playing. But it felt like most of the time my fingers just wouldn’t cooperate. I lived in the dorms at Sonoma State and would go over to Mark Hogan’s dorm and tried to play what I’d been working on. ![]() Yes, I remember around age 18-19 when I switched from guitar to mandolin. Was there ever a point when you thought to yourself this just isn’t going to work? If so, how did you get past that? When I turned 50 it was “now or never”…a better way to handle my midlife crisis than others I guess. I’d always had an interest in jazz but only dabbled in it for years. In the old days, we used to slow things down by playing vinyl LPs at 16 instead of 33 rpm, which would also bring things down about an octave. Finding players that excite you can provide a lot of motivation to reverse engineer what you’re hearing, and it helps to have slow down software. Moving forward from there, you have to approach it as learning another language-which requires the same thing that learning bluegrass does-lots of learning of the vocabulary that defines the style. And, if you improvise, you already have something in common with the spirit of jazz. The first step is realizing that if you play bluegrass mandolin, you already have some vocabulary that’s related to early jazz language (trad jazz). How does the average Joe go about moving from bluegrass to jazz? Yes-Greg Reginato guitar, Gerry Kennett drums, Craig Griffeath bass. How about your jazz lineup, is that still active?
