![]() The Quince Organic Turkish Waffle Towel measures 27 inches by 54 inches and you can purchase it in white, gray, ivory and silver colors. The waffle weave also does not lint or shed, according to our reviewers. It’s also easy to store and doesn’t take up much room in the washer or dryer, which I appreciate,” she says. “You can fold the towel down or roll it up, and it takes up very little space, so it would be a great towel to travel with. And while it’s a thin, lightweight towel, the waffle texture gives it some dimension, according to Malin. Some waffle towels we tried felt scratchy against reviewers’ skin, but Quince’s - which is made from 100% organic long-staple Turkish cotton - is “super soft,” Ginsberg says.

She especially loves how breathable and airy they feel. Though they feel stiff at the beginning, they become softer and more comfortable after a few uses, and especially after the first wash, according to Zoe Malin, NBC Select associate updates editor. The lightweight yet durable feel of these Brooklinen percale sheets earned them high marks among our Select staff. “These sheets feel like they’ll last a lifetime,” says NBC Select associate reporter Bianca Alvarez.

Overall, our staff was impressed by the sheets’ cooling properties. The eucalyptus fibers are naturally hypoallergenic and antibacterial, and the brand adds an antimicrobial treatment to slow the spread of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, according to Sijo.

An All-New Raiding Experience: Explore a mysterious island filled with environmental puzzles, visceral combat, and tombs to discover. In 2001, some of the original comic strips were released together in four book collections and in 2016 to celebrate Tomb Raider's 20th anniversary, the original strips as well as Journeys and five one shot stories were put together in a four volume set called "Tomb Raider Archives. A Turning Point: Experience Lara Croft’s intense origin story from a young woman to a hardened survivor. Reboot Main Article: Tomb Raider (Dark Horse Comics)Īfter the original run of Tomb Raider comics by Top Cow ended in 2005, it was announced that the series would return in 2007, however it was delayed due to licensing issues.Īfter the 2013 reboot of the video game series, it was announced that Dark Horse would be penning a new series of comics which directly tied into the games, bridging the gaps between games. The strips were written by Dan Jurgens and illustrated by talents such as Andy Park, Billy Tan and Francis Manapul. Angel of Darkness (Issues 32-34, based on the video game Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness).Endgame (Issue 25, crossover with Witchblade).The Trap - The Path of the Tiger (Issues 21-23).Pieces of Zero (Issues 16-17 and 19-20) Tomb Raider has been with us for decades now, with plenty of games in the series.Fortunately, some other great titles out there can offer you new adventures. ![]() The main series was made up of 50 issues which chronicle the various adventures of Lara Croft, her life, and the numerous artifacts she's discovered and her fight to keep them from those who would use their power for nefarious ends. While these games are fun, Tomb Raider can be monotonous with its repetitive tone and lack of variety in its quests. Protection against malware and scansĪvast’s ability to keep you safe against malware is not even across the board. So Bitdefender wins the protection battle by a hair. But Bitdefender’s defensive feature list is more extensive, giving it a slight advantage over Avast. So they will offer you essentially the same degree of security. And that is why false positives are a thing to keep in mind.ĭata published by AV-TEST Institute gives both antiviruses a 5.5 on macOS and six on Windows in the protection department. A good antivirus will remove harmful files without altering the system’s legitimate data. Detecting and removing malware is necessary but not sufficient. Overall winner: Bitdefender Who is the best protector, Avast or Bitdefender?Īn antivirus’s capacity to offer protection is obviously one of its most essential features, but it’s also among the hardest to measure accurately. Still, only Avast is available for Linux systems – if you are wondering how Bitdefender can have an Android version, which is nothing than a highly customized Linux distro by Google and not a version for desktop Linux computers, you’re not alone, but the answer remains a mystery. Both cover the most used operating systems globally. The license is 18 USD per year for Bitdefender and 35 USD for Avast. The essential information is that, as already stated, both programs have free versions. ![]() Once you’ve read this, you’ll know which is the right option for you and why. In this article, we will compare Bitdefender with Avast and look at the pros and cons of each one. Both products are well-known and respected, offering free versions to the public. But Avast is a mammoth industry player that eats other, smaller antivirus companies and technologies and blends them into its service. ![]() If there were anything like a consensus about the best antivirus service, Bitdefender would probably be the chosen one. ![]() It is truly a shame that the film becomes a cross-section of an almost excruciatingly slow first half (though still with the great animated sequences) and then a truly brilliant and scathing denouement. And once they do finally get to Russia, the film brutalizes any notion of military honor or the glory of war by a graphic (for its time) depiction of the actual horrors of war and the price the British paid for such a foolish venture. In certain ways, this film is almost the anti- Alexander Nevvsky in that it uses a historical disaster to deflate current nationalism (rather than the other way around). ![]() The animated interludes that begin the film and then occur periodically throughout are brilliant and really hit home on the idea that though the film serves as a satire of British class machinations, The Charge of the Light Brigade also shows historic parallels between the catastrophic decision to go to war against the Russians in the Crimean war and the calls during the 1960s for military action against the Soviet Union. The film isn’t without its moments though. The only performance with any real heart was Vanessa Redgrave’s Clarissa which is a shame because her character was so shallow and peripheral to the main parts of the film. With his thousand mile stare, Nolan seemed like a warrior poet spouting off Shakespearean nonsense rather than a sensible man forced to follow insensible orders. Although Captain Nolan is likely meant to be the film’s sole sympathetic figure (except for perhaps Vanessa Redgrave’s Clarissa), David Hemmings too turned his part into more of a caricature than a real human being. Trevor Morgan turned the incompetent and tyrannical Lord Cardigan into a cartoonish figure. There was simply a cavalcade of characters and little reason to care for any of them.Īnd to add to the film’s overly theatrical nature from the first half of the movie, virtually all of the performances were totally ham-fisted. While I recognize that the film is meant to be a darkly comic satire of class snobbery, those themes have been handled better by others ( Gosford Park) and The Charge of the Light Brigade never generated any real emotional connection early on (except for perhaps moments with Captain Nolan). And while I could applaud the film’s decision to spend such a large chunk of the movie focusing on the lives of the members of the Light Brigade before they are called off to war, most of the time spent in Britain feels repetitive and over-blown. The accents are thick enough that any non-native Brits would have trouble understanding certain characters (particularly Lord Cardigan) but when the period slang is thrown in for good measure, the film becomes far more dense than you would expect. I must admit that perhaps part of my struggles with the early portions of the film is that I found a healthy portion of the dialogue to be completely incomprehensible. And from the opening moments of the film, the arrogance of men such as Lord Cardigan (Trevor Howard) and Lord Lucan (Harry Andrews) let you know that even the noble intelligence of the few decent men such as Captain Nolan (David Hemmings) will be subsumed by impractical and ultimately fatal notions of honor and class standing. And The Charge of the Light Brigade focuses on the forming of the soon to be doomed cavalry, their training, and their eventual excursion to Turkey to face off against the Russians simply because England felt the need to go to war for appearance’s sake. The titular charge of Britain’s light cavalry brigade during the Crimean war remains one of history’s most famous tactical military errors that resulted in the annihilation of virtually the entire brigade as they charged head-long into oncoming artillery fire (and anyone who’s ever played Empire: Total War knows that’s a dumb idea). ![]() And with 1968’s The Charge of the Light Brigade, the first hour of this satire of the snobbery and incompetence of the British aristocracy had me bored nearly to tears and it wasn’t until the doomed heroes went off to fight the Crimean war that the movie began to find its bearings and the right mix of character and spectacle. ![]() It’s not an easy task and focusing too much on action or “plot spectacle” makes characters seem paper-thin and boring whereas a deficiency in action means the audience is going to fall asleep. As someone who’s written one full-length screenplay (though I haven’t sold it yet) and that has also written about 30 pages or so of several other screenplays that I haven’t actually finished, I understand quite acutely the challenge of balancing attention-grabbing pacing with solid character development. Scuttler is the last camp in this jungle path and Kayn can gank a lane with the best kill potential after its death so that he gets a lot of transformation points. At this point Kayn moves towards the Blue Buff side of the jungle and clears the Wolves, Blue Buff and Gromp as this places him at level four and unlocks Blade's Reach. After Krugs, next up is the Red Buff camp that grants Kayn level three which allows him to upgrade Reaping Slash. By using Shadow Step, Kayn can travel through the Red Buff wall all the way to the Krugs to clear them quickly. After killing the Raptors and reaching level two, high elo Kayn players tend to level up the Shadow Step skill which allows Kayn to travel through walls. The Pro Kayn Jungle Path has a full clear that starts on the Raptors with Kayn leveling Reaping Slash and it doesn't require a leash from the bot lane due to the huge amount of AoE damage this skill provides.With proper timing it can be used to quickly dodge enemy skill shots, and it is worth noting that it is possible to cast Smite while you're inside an enemy- allowing for easy Baron & Dragon steals. Umbral Trespass is Kayn's most valuable spell.Reaping Slash can be used to jump over quite a few walls and when it is combined with Shadow Step, their proper use makes Kayn a high mobility champion with a lot of easy ways to control team fights and steal jungle objectives.It is important to pre-plan your jungle route so that you can path towards the lane with enemy champions that you need to damage for the transformation of your choice.On the other hand, doing damage to ranged champions grants him the Shadow Assassin (blue) Kayn transformation stacks. Damaging melee champions grants him the Rhaast (red) Kayn transformation stacks. To get a transformation, Kayn has to damage an enemy champion to obtain Darkin Scythe passive stacks. Kayn is very weak without a transformation and the number of junglers he can confidently duel at Scuttler during the early game is very small. It's rendering engine diverged to the point that Pale Moon's lead developer (Moonchild) trademarked it Goanna, to distinguish it from Gecko. They even run their own independent sync server. Pale Moon forked years ago, and maintains a completely separate and independently developed codebase. Pale Moon is the only real fork here that doesn't rely on Mozilla releasing new versions of Firefox (Seamonkey doesn't really rely on it either, but it's barely being updated anyway). However, it's still completely reliant on Mozilla releasing new versions of Firefox, and it even uses Mozilla's sync server for sync. Waterfox Classic, on the other hand, is a bit more involved, in that it preserves the ability to use XUL extentions. Each new release of Firefox is given these modifications, and called Waterfox Current. Waterfox Current is a sort-of fork of Firefox, with a few modifications. Again, without Firefox, there is no Icecat. This of course makes it unofficial, which means it can't use the Firefox name. Richard Stalin doesn't like the way Mozilla compiles against non-free libraries, so Icecat is the Firefox codebase but compiled using libraries like LibreJS instead. ![]() Iceweasel isn't an alternative to Firefox, it is Firefox. Debian devs tweaked the Firefox code to make it work properly/better on Debian, which means it's no longer an official release, which means it can't use the trademarked Mozilla/Firefox branding. Iceweasel is Firefox, with different branding. ![]() It's sync no longer works and it has very few available extensions. But it's basically on life support and get's virtually no development. Seamonkey/Mozilla Suite was great, and I continued to use it for years after Firefox and Thunderbird were forked from it. ![]() Click to expand.The problem is that almost none of those are real alternatives. ![]() The pillow is also available in two sizes: standard/queen and king.įill type: Cross-cut memory-foam and microfiber fill | Loft: Adjustable | Firmness: Adjustable | Care instructions: Machine-washable cover I have the standard loft, which is roughly four-and-a-half inches high and works for my combination sleep style, but you can also choose the high-loft option, which is roughly six-and-a-half inches high. As a combination sleeper, I like that I can comfortably use this pillow on my side as well as on my back or stomach. Although you can’t unzip an inner case to adjust the fill, it isn’t too flat or overly stuffed. My head is able to settle into it just enough it doesn’t feel overly sinky or too contoured. And since the latex is shredded instead of being a solid piece like the Avocado pillow, below, it’s almost like a denser, bouncier version of a down pillow. While I wouldn’t say the latex is overtly cooling, it doesn’t make me sweat or overheat. I have the standard cover, which doesn’t have special cooling features but didn’t cause me to overheat.įill type: Shredded latex fill | Loft: Standard or high | Firmness: Medium-soft | Care instructions: Machine washable coverĬushiony and responsive, the Saatva latex pillow is filled with springy, shredded natural latex that Colonello says “offers a cooler sleep by promoting superior breathability.” I’ve been sleeping on this pillow for the past several months and it is one of the pillows that I use most often. If you run especially hot, you can also upgrade to an “ice cube” cooling cover for an extra $30. You can choose from two sizes that coincide with your height - the standard size is meant for people who are six-feet-three or shorter (that’s the one I have, as I am five-feet-ten), and the thick size is for people who are six-four or taller. The design is ideal for side sleepers who hardly ever sleep in other positions, as its angles and loft aren’t really compatible with back or stomach sleeping. It’s made of solid viscoelastic polyurethane and nanofibers (read: sturdy memory foam), so it’s on the firmer side, but it still has the satisfying squish that you’d expect from a foam pillow. I’ve tested this pillow myself and found that it delivers on that promise - nestling along the side of my head, the crook of my neck, and the top of my shoulder. The logic behind the brick-shaped Pillow Cube is that its 90-degree angles will completely fill that essential space between your head and your mattress to keep your neck aligned. For taller people with broader shoulders, a higher loft may be more comfortable, and conversely, a petite person with more narrow shoulders will likely rest comfortably with a lower loft.įill type: Memory foam | Loft: High | Firmness: Firm | Care instructions: Machine-washable cover But don’t go breaking out your ruler just yet, as there is wiggle room with this number. ![]() Dennis Colonello, celebrity and professional-athlete chiropractor at Peak Wellness, suggests that it should rise about four inches off of your mattress. Toussaint-Keshinro adds that “if a pillow is too flat or too high, it can create an uneven muscle tone in the neck and shoulders, leading to spasms over time.” While there isn’t a formula to figure out the ideal loft of your pillow, Dr. “Side sleepers usually need thicker pillows to fill the space between their head and neck, but a pillow that is too thick may cause neck pain and put pressure on the spine,” explains Logan Foley, a sleep-science coach and the managing editor of. ![]() The loft, or height, of your pillow is a crucial factor for side sleepers to consider. ![]() And as a side sleeper myself, I’ve tested several pillows to find the best ones that meet our experts’ criteria and included my favorites below. We spoke to Cushner, Toussaint-Keshinro, and four more experts about what to look for in pillows for side sleepers and which ones they recommend. Rennes Toussaint-Keshinro, a chiropractor and mental-health coach, says side sleepers should aim to “maintain a neutral position and posture of the back,” with a pillow that lifts their head high enough to line up with the neck and spine, but not too high. But side-sleeping is more than a comfortable way to cozy up according to Keith Cushner, a product expert at, it can “improve spinal alignment, reduce the risk of snoring, and reduce back pain.” And to achieve the perfect spine, neck, and head alignment, choosing the right pillow is key. If you like sleeping on your side, you’re in good company - it’s the sleep position preferred by 60 percent of adults.

We should all go back to “dood,” or maybe even “doodle.” Dude is a magnificent specimen for discussing language change in general, because its meaning has shifted and shimmied a ton in a relatively short period of time. It first emerged in the year 1883 in England. “For some reason,” Metcalf says, “early in 1883, this inspired someone to call foppish young men of New York City ‘doods,’ with the alternate spelling ‘dudes’ soon becoming the norm.” Some of the early mocking descriptions of these dudes seem awfully familiar today: “A weak mustache, a cigarette, a thirteen button vest/A curled rim hat-a minaret-two watch chains cross the breast.” Yep, sounds like a hipster. 1) Originally, dude meant a stuck up person who dressed overly well. The best a rough, uncultured colonist could do if he wanted to imitate them was stick a feather in his cap. So where does dude come from? Evidence points to “doodle,” as in “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” He’s the fellow who, as the song has it, “stuck a feather in his cap and called it macaroni.” “Macaroni” became a term for a dandy in the 18th century after young British men returned from their adventures on the European continent sporting exaggerated high-fashion clothes and mannerisms (along with a taste for an exotic Italian dish called “macaroni”). The latest issue of Cohen’s journal, Comments on Etymology, lays out, in 129 pages, the most solidly supported account yet of the early days of dude. ![]() The project belongs to Barry Popik and Gerald Cohen, described by Metcalf as “googlers before there was Google.” Along with the help of other colleagues, they have been combing through 19th century periodicals for years, slowly amassing the world’s biggest collection of dude citations. In 2013, Allan Metcalf (who wrote the book on “OK”) said in The Chronicle of Higher Education that a massive, decade-long “dude” research project has finally yielded convincing results. What we didn’t know was why the word dude was chosen in the first place. It later came to stand for clueless city folk (who go to dude ranches) before it morphed into our all-purpose laid-back label for a guy. For some time now, we have known the basic outline of the story of “dude.” The word was first used in the late 1800s as a term of mockery for young men who were overly concerned with keeping up with the latest fashions. ![]() Just remember that your 1st finger will always play the root note in these instances.
