This fanmade wallpaper I edit long ago where people celebrate Jurassic June. Too bad that I didn't get the chance to do that in the first place, but at least I've enjoyed my vacation trip and watched the sixth movie.

"The Screamin' Sasquatch" Jet WACO

The Screamin’ Sasquatch is one of a kind on the air show circuit John Klatt Airshows and Jack Link’s Beef Jerky teamed up to create a one of a kind plane, the Screamin Sasquatch., which is powered by two different engines. The plane style is a Jet Waco, first introduced by Jimmy Franklin in 1999. The Screamin’ Sasquatch is highly modified in many ways. Every control surface has been specifically engineered for the unique aerodynamic forces encountered during high-speed flight. Portions of the aircraft’s structure have been converted from wood and fabric, to carbon fiber. The cockpit has been moved 3 feet aft, in order to accommodate fuel tanks for both 100LL and Jet A fuel. The cockpit is extremely modern and incorporates the MGL Avionics Stratomaster Odyssey touch screen system, which integrates all of the engine monitoring of both power plants and the aircraft’s avionics systems – essentially combining a couple of dozen gauges into one screen. The Screamin’ Sasquatch, Jack Link’s Jet Waco is powered by dual power plants: a Pratt & Whitney 985 Radial Engine and a General Electric CJ610 (J85) Jet Engine with 3,000lbs of thrust. This system allows the plane to achieve feats other stunt planes are unable to do. The plane will be at a thrust ratio of 1 to 1, which allows it to accelerate going straight up.

for my beloved followers interested in mormon polygamy name discourse, i have compiled and presented a list of the children of four different 19th century mormon polygamist men, ranging from 30 to 66 children. I included middle names when I could find them and the children are listed in chronological order of their birth.

Brigham Young:

Elizabeth, Vilate, Joseph Angell, Brigham Jr., Mary Ann, Emma Alice, Luna Caroline, John Willard, Brigham Heber, Edward Partridge, Oscar Brigham, Hyrum, Joseph, Moroni, Mary Eliza, Ella Elizabeth, Alva, Alma, Fanny Decker, Emily Augusta, Marinda Hyde, Clarissa Maria, Jeanette Richards, Zina Presendia, Evelyn Louisa, Hyrum Smith, Caroline Partridge, Ernest Irving, Nabby Howe, Willard, Eudora Lovina, Mahonri Moriancumer, Emmeline Amanda, Shamira, Alfales, Brigham Morris, Phoebe Louisa, Jedediah Grant, Arta DeChrista, Joseph Don Carlos, Louisa Wells, Susa Amelia, Lorenzo Dow, Miriam, Albert Jeddie, Feramorz Little, Alonzo, Josephine, Clarissa Hamilton, Charlotte Tallula, Ruth, Phineas Howe, Lura, Daniel Wells, Rhoda Mabel, Adella, and Fanny van Cott

Heber Kimball:

Judith Marvin, William Henry, Helen Mar, Roswell Heber, Heber Parley, David Patten, Adelbert, Charles Spaulding, Henry, Brigham Willard, Sarah Helen, David, Margaret Jane, Abraham Alonzo, Isaac, Solomon Farnham, Samuel Chase, David Orson, Prescinda Celestia, Murray Gould, David Heber, Joseph Smith, Augusta, Cornelia Christine, John Heber, William Gheen, Susannah, Samuel Heber, Joseph Smith, Harriet, Newel Whitney, Willard Heber, Jacob Reese, Jonathan Golden, Horace Heber, Rosalia, Albert Heber, Lydia Holmes, Jedediah Heber, Hyrum Heber, Enoch Heber, Peter, Daniel Heber, Ann Spaulding, Sarah Maria, Jeremiah Heber, Mary Melvina, Andrew, Alice Ann, Eliza, James Heber, Joshua Heber, Washington, Mary Margaret, Moroni Heber, Sarah Gheen, Joshua Heber, Eugene, Wilford Alfonzo, Franklin Heber, Lorenzo Heber, Abbie Sarah

Parley Pratt:

Parley Parker Jr., Nathan, Olivia Thankful, Susan, Moroni Llewellyn, Alma, Helaman, Nephi, Julia Houston, Belinda Marden, Cornelia, Agatha, Abinadi, Lucy, Ether, Mormon, Mosiah, Malona, Lehi Lee, Henriette, Marian, Omner, Teancum, Mary Wood, Moroni Walker, Phoebe Soper, Isabella Eleanor, Sarah Elizabeth, Evelyn, Mathoni

also who had the best name taste and who had the worst

#i dont know whether parley pratt nerfing literally every single one of his sons except nathan with a terrible name or heber kimball naming #almost all of his sons after himself is worse. lol #HK didn't have as many just batshit insane names but he was also terminally uncreative and had the most repeat names between siblings #including TWO sets of living siblings with the same exact full name which is demonic #i would argue that Joseph F. Smith probably had the best taste in names. he was a generation younger so i guess they settled down a bit

Jurassic World: Dominion - Movie Review

JWD was my most anticipated movie of the year. As a dinosaur nut, there was no movie that excited me more than Dominion. On top of that, news of the OG cast returning for this film along with Pratt and Howard, with Trevorrow returning after doing an excellent job in Jurassic World imo, made me even more excited. However, once the reviews started coming in, I tempered my expectations because the reviews weren't just ordinary, like with Fallen Kingdom, they were pretty abysmal across the board. So I went in with with low expectations, hoping to be surprised. Having seen the movie on Sunday, I will say that while it has definitely major issues, its not the dumpster fire that the critics have labeled it. There is definitely some enjoyment to be had. Its definitely nowhere near JP, and below JW and TLW. Its pretty much on par with JPIII and JW: FK.

The film has a pretty great setup. In fact, I would argue that the opening first hour or so is pretty strong. The new world that is set up in this movie is fascinating. We have visuals of the Mosasaurus attacking fishing boats, Brachiosaurus in snowy environments, and montages of Dinosaurs in different environments and situations. We see Claire along with Zia and Franklin, trying to prevent Dinosaur trafficking, we see Owen trying to herd Dinosaurs to safety, we see that Maisie is someone for whom people are looking for and Owen and Claire are essentially acting like overprotective parents. Meanwhile, Ellie is investigating BioSyn and the locust spread, we see Alan is still doing what he loves, but we get new context that there is no more funding for digging for fossils and they are forced to open to tourists for money, because presumably there is no interests in digging for Dinosaur fossils when there are Dinosaurs running around in real life. The film moves at top speed for the first hour, juggling two simultaneous storylines, one with Alan and Ellie meeting up with Ian and trying to find evidence of BioSyn, and one with Owen and Claire trying to track down Maisie's location by following the trail of the kidnappers. It does feel a bit too hectic at times but the first hour culminates with a terrific action sequence set in Malta. The chase sequences with Dinosaurs are all pretty awesome and we get a glimpse of the underground trade of Dinosaurs and how the CIA is attempting to track and dismantle the trade. We see Omar Sy's Barry, now working for the CIA, as is Franklin.

The second hour of the film is where the film started to get into trouble. We see all the characters basically converge at the BioSyn facility. At this point, it really feels like Trevorrow is throwing everything but the kitchen sink at the screen and hoping it sticks. Some of it does, some of it doesn't. The entire plot around the Locusts, the re-entry of Henry Wu, and how it ties to the Charlotte and Maisie Lockwood, and Bu's baby Raptor Beta, is explained in a very haphazard manner which is difficult to understand. Its difficult to buy this sudden change in character of Wu when he is clearly set up as the villain in the previous 2 JW movies. What is also fairly perplexing is that the film's driving plot is nothing about Dinosaurs. Its about prehistoric Locusts, manufactured by BioSyn and Wu. The only real plot related connection to Dinosaurs is the involvement of Beta and its a very loose connection. Otherwise, the Dinosaurs are essentially the background of the movie. Constantly weaving in and out of the movie.

That is not to say that Dinosaurs aren't present in the film. In the second hour, we basically get plenty of Dinosaur sequences starting from the Malta chase sequence. That is followed by Quetzalcoatlus attack on a plane, followed a suspenseful sequence with Claire and Therizinosaurus, then Owen and new character Kayla facing off with a Pyroraptur, followed by Dilophosaurus sequence. In the midst of this, Alan and Ellie unite with Maisie and have their own share of Dinosaur sequences, until both sets of characters unite and then they have to deal with Giganotosaurus. The Dinosaur sequences are all great and you can tell that more effort has been taken to have more animatronics be used, especially in close shots. It does get a bit overwhelming because there are so many Dino sequences packed together one after another without much time in between. There is also no sense of danger to our main characters, which is a shame. I wish the film had been more bold to give any of our leads a brave death.

The film also takes some oddly convenient plot twists, like the attempt at killing the Locusts just going completely wrong and burning the BioSyn facility. It all leads to a showdown between the T-Rex and Giaganotosaurus, with an assist from the Therizinosaurus. This sequence is oddly short and not nearly as cool as the T-Rex and Raptor vs I-rex sequence in JW which was also made by Trevorrow. This sequence could have been more epic, even though its always fun to see Rexy throw down with another Dinosaur. I did enjoy seeing the old and new cast of characters interact with each other. Certainly Ellie and Claire together and Owen and Alan together was a hoot and I wish we had more of it.

The cast is fairly assured. I think its air to say that the two leading ladies are the highlights. Its great to see Laura Dern back as Ellie and she really drives her part of the movie. She's still great and has not missed a beat. Bryce Dallas Howard is excellent as Claire and she is the character who has had a very distinct transformation from JW to Dominion. Seeing Sam Neil back with his Fedora is wonderful. The film doesn't really justify why the character is involved in the story but seeing him with Ellie is amazing and I grinned at their romantic reunion after being heartbroken with how they ended up in JPIII. His exasperation and jealousy at Ian is pretty fun. Goldblum does what Goldblum does. He's not in the movie as much as I would have wanted but its always great to see him, particularly with Alan and Ellie. His frustration at seeing Wu again and his amusement at Owen carrying Beta and making a promise to Blu is funny. Chris Pratt is a bit more subdued this time around and not given character moments to allow some of his trademark humor. He is involved in a lot of the action and the connect between him and Blu is still sweet and makes for a nice ending scene. DeWanda Wise as Kayla is a nice addition. Mamoudou Athie is solid as Ramsay but I'm not sure why that character was needed. Isabella Sermon as Maisie is solid and gets a fairly central role. BD Wong as Wu is fine although his character change doesn't make much sense. Its nice to see Omar Sy, Justice Smith, and Daniella Pineda back, albeit briefly. Cambell Scott though is a bit off as Dodgson. Its supposed to be the same Dodson that we saw in JP but he doesn't really seem the same. Although I guess 27 years can change a lot in a person. But the performance just seems odd, as if he was not given direction in certain scenes. I'm not sure Trevorrow really had an idea on what type of villain he wanted him to be.

All in all, I do want to watch the film again. Having seen it once, with expectations now lifted, I want to see if I just enjoy the movie for what it is, or do the flaws weigh it down. I definitely don't think its as awful as the critics have made it out to be. And granted, I am a lot softer on the Jurassic movies than a lot of people. I do feel a bit disappointed because Trevorrow did an excellent job in JW and I feel he missed what was an easy and appealing concept, set up by Fallen Kingdom. The cast and the Dinosaurs keep the film fun for me, but it definitely could have been better. I have this currently at a 6.5/10, like Fallen Kingdom and JPIII. That could go higher or lower, based on rewatch.

All-Star Squadron #7

Warning, Spoilers Ahead…

“Carnage For Christmas” by Roy Thomas, Adrian Gonzales, and Jerry Ordway.

The December 22, 1941 edition of the Washington World’s headline states “JSA Disbands”, “Decision Rumored Since Dec. 9 Confirmed”, and “Statement Reveals Eight Current Members Have Enlisted In Armed Services Under Real Names!”

Private Al Pratt (Atom) strolls the streets of Washington DC and bumps into a giant of a man. Al goes his own way as we follow the giant. The giant’s revealed to be Baron Blitzkrieg. The Baron and his henchmen plan to assassinate Winston Churchill, scheduled to visit the United States, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Blitzkrieg first debuted in World’s Finest Comics #246, published in 1977.

Al is suspicious of the rude foreigner but puts them aside as he doesn’t want to be like “the paranoids who’re finding Axis spies under every bed, since Pearl Harbor”.

Al, now dressed in his Atom costume, visits FDR at the White House. FDR asks about the other members of the Justice Society.

“I’m in training to be a tank-corpsman myself, stationed in Virginia but then, you already know that, don’t you, or else Pvt. Al Pratt wouldn’t have gotten a special leave to report here tonight. Hawkman’s a Tyro – a ‘Dodo” I think they call ‘em in the Army Air Force on the west coast while Sandman’s looking forward to handling the 37-mm. anti-aircraft cannon. And Dr. Fate, who’s spanned the gaps between the worlds, will soon be practicing to be a parachute trooper. Though he’s technically blind…in a way…Dr. Mid-Nite’s alter ego has been commissioned a captain in the medical corps. He and his assistant Myra are in the Pacific war zone right not, working on a crash cure for tropical fever. Starman’s other self is in flight training, too…at Fort Randolph, near San Antonio, while Johnny Thunder’s joined the Navy, heaven help it! The Spectre’s keeping busy here at home but the last I heard, even Green Lantern had enlisted! I’m not sure about our other honorary JSA’ers…”

Props to Myra for following Dr. Mid-Nite into the war. That is love and loyalty. If you’ve read Geoff John’s JSA, you know that poor Myra suffers a violent end. Yes, it’s due to her association with Dr. Mid-Nite. People theorize that Charles was gay and if so, I feel sorry for Myra. Charles would have loved her but not in the romantic sense. I feel Myra would have been willing to be his “beard” in the less enlightened times of the mid-20th century. It’s surprising the duo never married – as romantic partners or platonic partners. Neither Charles or Myra married anyone else. Of course, Wesley Dodds and Dian Belmont never married. The Justice Society was filled with individuals rebelling against society’s expectations!

The Flash and Hourman are the members of the JSA not mentioned by the Atom. Unbeknown to the JSA or the Squadron, Hourman is a prisoner of war in Japan but the Flash’s whereabouts are a mystery.

The honorary members are Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, possibly Robin? Ma Hunkel, the original Red Tornado, was later revealed to be an honorary member.

Ma Hunkel wouldn’t have been active. I haven’t read much Golden Age Wonder Woman but I assume Diana was involved with the U.S. army in some capacity given her connection to Steve Trevor and Etta Candy.

Superman wouldn’t join the military as he needs to stay far away from the Spear of Destiny’s influence.

Robin is underage so he wouldn’t be eligible for the military. Batman is a surprise. The rest of the non-superhuman members joined the various military branches but Bruce decided staying home and punching robbers in the face was more important. Maybe he felt he was needed at home to run Wayne Enterprises? Of course, Green Lantern runs his own company, and it didn’t stop him from enlisting.

FDR ushers the Atom into the next room where Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, Johnny Quick, Robotman, Firebrand II and the Shining Knight are waiting.

Atom questions FDR: “But what about Plastic Man? If it’s old home week, shouldn’t our FBI liaison be here?”

FDR informs the Atom that Plastic Man is “on special assignment, alas…but he sends his regards.”

FDR tells the heroes about a suspected plot to assassinate Winston Churchill. FRD orders the heroes to escort Churchill to the White House.

Hawkgirl, Liberty Belle, and Sir Justin patrol the sky. Liberty hitches a ride on Winged Victory. Hawkgirl complains about the cold. Well, you are the one wearing a bikini top in December.

Firebrand and Johnny Quick patrol the roads. Johnny reveals he’s bought a Christmas gift for Liberty Belle.

Robotman and the Atom are at the piers waiting for Churchill’s ship. Robotman and Atom continue their mutual admiration-inferiority contest. Atom wishes he was built like a tank and Robotman would love to be human.

The ship arrives at the pier but is bombarded by German torpedos. The All-Stars work together to save the ship and crew. They also capture the German U-boat. Baron Blitzkrieg switches out the real Churchill with a robot duplicate during the chaos.

Liberty Belle realizes Churchill isn’t the real one when he doesn’t recognize her despite meeting her months ago. Churchill approaches FDR and explodes! Everything’s okay as FDR was Plastic Man in disguise: “The FBI – and the Secret Service, natch – were afraid something like this might happen so I took his place.”

The All-Stars rescue Churchill but Baron Blitzkrieg escapes.

The issue ends with Churchill and FDR addressing the crowds on Christmas Eve.

An average issue. Most Nazi comic book villains are boring and one-dimensional to me – Red Skull, Baron Blitzkrieg, etc. In real life, Nazis are terrifying and repulsive. In comics, they’re boring. Highlights of the issue were the Libby-Johnny romance and the Atom-Robotman mutual inferiority-admiration society.

#Justice Society #JSA #All-Star Squadron #Atom #Al Pratt #Dr Mid-Nite #Charles McNider #Robotman #Robert Crane #Liberty Belle #Libby Lawrence #Johnny Quick #Baron Blitzkreig #DC Comics #DCU

Vicenza, Concerti estate 2024, il batterista dei Pink Floyd Nick Mason e la leggenda del funk Marcus Miller in piazza dei Signori

Vicenza, Concerti estate 2024, il batterista dei Pink Floyd Nick Mason e la leggenda del funk Marcus Miller in piazza dei Signori Il 2024 sarà ancora un anno di importanti live a Vicenza. Grazie a DuePunti Eventi, piazza dei Signori risuonerà della grande musica internazionale con l'arrivo di Nick Mason, batterista dei Pink Floyd (19 luglio), e di Marcus Miller, leggenda del funk (20 luglio), una produzione D'Alessandro e Galli. I concerti sono organizzati in collaborazione con la Città di Vicenza. «Entra nel vivo la programmazione musicale del 2024. Dopo aver annunciato la presenza a Capodanno di uno dei nomi più apprezzati della musica leggera italiana, Max Gazzè, iniziamo a popolare di appuntamenti anche la stagione estiva - annuncia l'assessore ai grandi eventi Leone Zilio -. Grazie alla disponibilità dell'artista, accoglieremo il 19 luglio, nuovamente, il batterista di Pink Floyd, Nick Mason che nel 2023 non si è potuto esibire a causa del maltempo offrendo così ai numerosi fan l'opportunità di ascoltare dal vivo una grande star. Il giorno successivo avremo invece una leggenda del jazz e del funk, Marcus Miller, uno dei migliori artisti del genere. Il calendario degli eventi musicali non si chiude qui ma si arricchirà di altri nomi per una città sempre più viva!» Nick Mason ritorna in cartellone con il progetto "Saucerful Of Secrets" il 19 luglio 2024 (ore 21.30), dopo l'annullamento del concerto della scorsa estate a causa del maltempo. Gli appassionati potranno così ritrovare sul palco il supergruppo che ha formato nel 2018 con Guy Pratt (bassista dei Floyd dal 1987), Gary Kemp (Spandau Ballet) e Lee Harris (Blockheads) e che ha l'obiettivo di riportare sui palchi i primi successi dei Pink Floyd, attingendo alla discografia pre- Dark Side Of The Moon e ricreando la stessa atmosfera psichedelica e iconoclasta che i Pink Floyd hanno insegnato a tutte le generazioni. Un ritorno agli albori della band, agli anni in cui Syd Barrett era l'autore dei testi e l'anima di quello che poi sarebbe diventato uno dei gruppi più grandi della storia della musica. Mason ha dichiarato che il gruppo non è una tribute band, bensì un mezzo per "catturare lo spirito dell'epoca" e trasmetterlo al pubblico tramite tracce estratte da dischi come The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, A Saucerful Of Secrets ed Ummagumma. Marcus Miller Tra i musicisti più influenti del nostro tempo, sarà a Vicenza il 20 luglio 2024 (ore 21.30). Virtuoso del basso e vera e propria leggenda del jazz e del funk , Marcus ha sempre composto e prodotto per il cinema: da Boomerang (1992) a Marshall (2017); dal Black Movie Soundtrack Festival alle numerose collaborazioni con Disney Studios, e più recentemente con Apple per un documentario sulla vita di Sidney Poitier (2022). Per questo nuovo spettacolo che mette in primo piano il suo genio come produttore, Marcus sarà circondato da una band eccezionale. L'artista newyorkese ha una carriera di 45 anni. DueGrammy Awards, un Edison Prize in Olanda, una 'Victoire du Jazz' in Francia e la nomina UNESCO nel 2013 come Artista per la Pace e portavoce del progetto Slave Route, sono alcuni dei riconoscimenti che gli sono stati conferiti in tutto il mondo durante gli anni di attività. Marcus non è solamente un bassista, ma è anche un creatore, produttore, polistrumentista e un compositore straordinario e prolifico. Le sue numerose collaborazioni parlano per lui: Miles Davis, Eric Clapton, George Benson, Aretha Franklin, Bryan Ferry, Wayne Shorter, Al Jarreau, Herbie Hancock e Carlos Santana, solo per citarne alcuni, hanno plasmato il suo ambiente musicale e lo hanno reso un'icona della musica jazz, funk e soul. I biglietti per i concerti di Nick Mason e Marcus Miller saranno disponibili in prevendita nel circuito Ticketone a partire dalle 11 di giovedì 21 dicembre 2023.
