![]() I know of the biggest offender being mixing green and Dexcool (red/orange), but I wonder if there's anything else I should look for if I ever mix any antifreeze. I wonder how much this will affect my car in the long run.Īnother question is if it's ever good to mix the antifreeze, given the ingredients are the same. much coolant in the system, then the compressor will have to work extra hard to move this coolant. However as seen in point 3 and 4, each of these antifreeze has their own extra ingredients. 5 oz - BK 7653507 online from NAPA Auto Parts Stores. I can't see spending 50 for 2 gallons of 50/50 colant. I need 2 gallons, so I'm going with the Zerex at 13 a gallon, half the price of the Toyota. ![]() The alternative antifreeze all have a Proprietary corrosion inhibitor agent, and some extra ingredients unique to each antifreeze.įrom that statement, it seems like these antifreeze are all appropriate purchase (with PEAK's potentially eliminated given it's designed for POAT). The Toyota dealers here want 26 for a gallon of of the Toyota pink SLL (Super Long Life) coolant, which as mentioned by Sayjac only comes in a 50/50 pre-mix. Toyota's Super Long Life Antifreeze has the following ingredients the rest do not have: Sebacic acid and potassium hydroxide. With the exception of PEAK's Coolant (which seems to be targetted at POAT coolant) the rest of them either use or are compatible with HOAT (hybrid organic acid technology). I'll list four examples, the first being the OEM Toyota antifreeze, and the rest being alternatives:Ī few things I can say after looking at them:Īll of them have ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol. I could just buy the OEM antifreeze in the local Toyota dealer, but I also want to know if I ever use an alternative, how would I be able to tell they fit. The car's owner manual say, " Only use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or similar high quality ethylene glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with long-life hybrid organic acid technology." So when it comes to my car, which originally came with a red-like antifreeze, I need some assistance identifying what is the correct antifreeze to buy. Apparently this was not true and that the ingredients matter more. I always thought when it come to buying antifreeze, as long as the color is the same it would be fine. ![]() Paul and Barry Ryan covered the song on their debut album Two of a Kind (Decca LP LK4878, 1967). The single reached number 30 on the UK charts. ![]() It was covered by The Everly Brothers who released it as a 45 single, Warner Brothers 5611, in 1965. of note as Bobby Velline(Bobby Vee)and his band performed as the Shadows in The Winter Dance Party tour the day after the plane crash that killed Buddy Holly. It was covered by Bobby Vee on his 1963 LP "I Remember Buddy Holly", Liberty LRP-3336/LST-7336. The one and only 1958 pressing is thought to be one of the world's most valuable records, worth an estimated £100,000 Norman Petty sold the publishing rights to the Buddy Holly catalogue to Paul McCartney in 1979. Their rendition, intended just as a demonstration disc, was issued officially on the Beatles compilation album Anthology 1 in 1995. In 1958, the song was the first track ever recorded by The Quarrymen, who later became The Beatles. On Decema re-issue of the single by Coral Records was awarded a gold single by the RIAA. On Septemthe song appeared on the UK Single Charts at #85, it then came off the charts a week later at #100. The song also went to number two on Billboard's R&B singles chart. The Brunswick single became a number-one hit on the 1957 "Best Sellers in Stores" chart in Billboard magazine. 1957 U.S 45 release on Brunswick, 9-55009.=Charts and certification = The version recorded at Bradley’s Barn, Nashville on Jwas released as B-side to "Rock Around With Ollie Vee", credited to Buddy Holly, on 2 September 1957 (Decca D30434) and can be found on the 1958 album That'll Be the Day. ![]() The song is considered a classic in the rock and roll genre and is listed at #39 on Rolling Stone's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The re-recorded version of "That'll Be the Day" was released by Brunswick Records on May 27, 1957, and is featured on the debut album by the Crickets, The "Chirping" Crickets, which was issued on November 27, 1957. His group efforts would be issued by Brunswick, and his solo recordings would be on Coral. Once the cat was out of the bag, Decca re-signed Holly to another of its subsidiaries, Coral Records, so he ended up with two recording contracts. Ironically, Brunswick Records was a subsidiary of Decca Records. To dodge this, producer Norman Petty credited the Crickets as the artist on this new recording of "That'll Be the Day" to shield Buddy from possible legal action. īecause Holly had signed a recording contract with Decca, he was contractually prohibited from re-recording any of the songs recorded during the 1956 Nashville sessions for five years, even if Decca never released them. ![]() The second recorded version of this song was recorded eight months later, at the Norman Petty studios in Clovis, New Mexico, on February 25, 1957, and issued on Decca's Brunswick label three months later. Wayne's frequently-used, world-weary catchphrase, "that'll be the day" inspired the young musicians. The John Wayne film The Searchers was playing. The song had its genesis in a trip to the movies by Holly, Allison and Sonny Curtis in June 1956. Although Norman Petty was given a co-writing credit on it, he was not actually involved in the composition, but only in the production of this well-known recording.īackground It was also the first song to be recorded (just as a demonstration disc) by The Quarrymen, the skiffle group that subsequently became The Beatles. " That'll Be the Day " is a song written by Buddy Holly and Jerry Allison and recorded by various artists including The Crickets and Linda Ronstadt. ![]() There’s a profound track in the book on DNA and familial features. ![]() I never asked why I was obsessed with beauty, but if I had it would have made me realize that beauty was just whiteness in my eyes. ![]() I was like, Well, if I can’t be white, I can just be really thin. I had a very severe eating disorder for a long time. I was pouring Sun In, lemon juice, and beer in my hair. And everyone was blonde in Houston, everyone. I always felt the odd one out growing up ‘cause most of my friends were Black or Latina. Ling Ling Huang: I definitely felt pressure. Which I don’t think is typical for a lot of Asian mothers, but my mom was not typical. I am less vain now that I’m 40, but I’m glad I had that foundation set by my mom. That said, I was a very vain young woman, so that definitely beat out what Mom was saying. But it was a good foundation for understanding that there are ways of existing where somebody can tell you that your worth is not based on your physical appearance. I grew up in Richmond, Virginia, where everyone’s blond and blue-eyed. My mom was always like, ‘You’re not allowed to wear nail polish or makeup’ or ‘Don’t worry about your skin.’ Which, as great as it was, was not effective because the culture was more effective. I know there’s a stereotype that Asian ladies do their nails and have perfect skin. I was lucky to be raised by a mom who was anti-vanity. In some countries, eyelid plastic surgery to look more Western is nearly the same as getting your driver’s license-almost everybody does it at 16. How has that played out in your lives? Wu: Whenever I walk into a department store in any Asian country, they’re practically throwing whitening creams at me. When I talked to Ling Ling, that was one of the first things I said.Īll women feel the pressure of these insane beauty standards, but women of color feel them more keenly because beauty standards are modeled on the Caucasian ideal. Some of the interactions reminded me of one of my favorite series of books, the Neapolitan novels by Elena Ferrante. either this patina of niceness or total bitchiness. I haven’t seen female characters very accurately portrayed, particularly when depicting their friendships. The female characters especially drew me in. ![]() Any book that does that to you, especially if it’s so visual the way this one is, makes for great cinema or television. The themes are so current, but the book itself is so engrossing that you don’t notice that because you’re so caught up in the story. Vogue : Constance, what themes in Natural Beauty really grabbed you and made you want to option it? Constance Wu: Of course, the themes of the beauty industry and beauty standards that we place upon women that are rooted in sexism, racism, classism, and all these other things. “So much of our cutting-edge science is being used to subjugate women’s bodies, making sure that we adhere to societal values, which is very interesting,” Huang says. It quickly veers into subversive horror, turning into a cautionary tale on societal themes we’re currently seeing IRL: rigid beauty standards, cultural appropriation, surveillance culture, and the unending quest for physical perfection. Natural Beauty starts out frothy, offering an enticing dip into how tech could beautify and perfect our bodies and faces in the near future (whale-collagen injections, plumping gloss from Japanese pit viper venom, etc.). A television series based on the book is currently in the works, produced by actor Constance Wu along with Creative Engine and Entertainment One, producers of Yellowjackets. It’s set in Holistik, a luxe Goop-y mecca that peddles trailblazing beauty/wellness products. “Figuring out why I have visible pores and things that are totally normal started becoming exhausting, and that’s when I realized I should take a closer look at why I’ve just accepted all of this as work I need to do.” That awakening planted the seed that ultimately birthed Natural Beauty, her absorbing debut novel out today. However spending more time in that space eventually led to disillusionment. Ling Ling Huang, the Grammy-winning classical violinist, briefly worked in the wellness and clean-beauty industry, during which time she really “drank the Kool-Aid.” “I was using so many different things and found the research that goes into ingredients and products fascinating,” she says. Steven’s story was captured in the very popular 1989 mini-series, I Know My First Name is Steven.But the Stayner family’s story doesn’t end with them reuniting with their son after seven long years. For seven long years, Steven’s family searched for him while he was living in northern California with his abductor, Kenneth Parnell. Steven’s story is one of tragedy, sorrow, and unexpected heroism as he plotted his escape and saved the life of Parnell’s newest victim, five-year-old Timmy White. For Kay and Dilbert Stayner, this nightmare became a reality when their seven-year-old son, Steven, was kidnapped on his way home from school in Merced, CA, in 1972. ![]() If you have found other ways to bypass the Patreon Paywall, add your comment below.Trigger warnings for this episode include: suicide ideation, murder, kidnapping, sexual assault, and rape.

This means it cannot be blurry, pixelated, misaligned, or have any other quality issues. However, if I copy this exact file to the H:\Downloads folder then the album art displays!!!Ĭlearly Groove *can* read the album art but it seems to ignore it if it is the one location where I've always stored my music, namely I:\Users\Darren\Music (relocated years ago from my C drive for space reasons. First of you want to make sure your artwork is good quality so it reflects your music in the best way possible. To confuse things further, I've just played an MP3 this way (double-clicking to open it) direct from my Music folder on the I drive and it didn't show any album art. I then discovered that some MP3s that I had in my H:\Download folder, which were downloaded from Burning the Ground (an awesome site by the way if you are a fan of 80s/90s 12" mixes) *do* display the album art when I double-click on them and they play in Groove (since it is set as the default player). I have even tried removing the Music folder (My Music stored on my I drive) and reading it I've deleted the library from WMP and let it rebuild nothing works although the music is added and plays fine otherwise. It didn't as ALL the song now show with a generic music icon! Despite leaving the program open for a day the album art never appeared. So I decided to do an app reset of the Groove app and let it rebuild its database in the hope of fixing the issue. Note all album art continues to be displayed correctly in Windows Media Player, iTunes and Media Monkey. Anyway, Groove previously displayed them and seemed to dropping more and more as I used it post-upgrade. All of my music uses ID3v2.3 tags and has embedded 600圆00 art taken from JPGs and PNGs. A few days later, and everything is still showing beautifully in my Music Player.Since updating to Windows 10 Creators Update (v1703) I noticed that my 350 GB collection of mostly MP3 with some FLAC music was missing some album art which was previously showing in Anniversary Update (v1607). Minor drawback: there were a couple times that images didn't show in the Music Player, but they did after a 2nd try. You can then delete the image in your Gallery. A word of warning: it is usually rather hard to find a good picture. Just single-tap the image, and voila - you're back in the app, and the image is assigned to your album. To delete a cover: Load the file (s) Select the file (s) Right-click on the cover-display in the tag panel and select 'Remove cover'. Back in the app, hit "SD Card." Your phone's Gallery will open. The "Choose Image From" box actually has a third choice: "SD Card." So you can search Google Images for the CD cover art and saved the image to your phone's SD card. But there's a cool trick around that, though it's a bit labor-intensive. I've got some obscure albums on my phone, so there were a number of times the app found nothing. If it finds nothing, you can search by album name. Tap one of them - it will search by the artist's name first. A box titled "Choose Image From" pops up, giving you two resource choices to try: "Last FM" and "MusicBrainz." ![]() It will display your albums and their current artwork (or lack thereof.)Ĭlick on an album that's missing artwork. I've found an app that works very well well: "Album Art Grabber" written by Tim Clark. The folder location and title do not matter at all, except for the cover art. In fact, I think there is a "Music" folder by default.īy the way, the way the music files themselves are categorized in Shuttle are through the metadata. If you don't have a microSD card, you can create the "Music" folder in the phone memory. ![]() Under each folder, I put the artist folder, under the artist I put the album folder, and in the album folder, I put the. I simply created a folder called "Music" and under that, "Classical", "Jazz", "Easy Listening" and so forth. Just as a guide for some who may need it, I have a microSD card, so I put all my music and photos on the card. I got the album image by googling the album name, and saving the album image as a jpg. jpg file to "cover.jpg", kept it in the folder containing the music, and the cover image showed up in the "albums" category of Shuttle. The cover image did not show up when I used the "album" tag to view the contents. I tried putting a jpg image of the cover in the Album folder on the phone itself. So, the artist shows up when you are using the tab "Artists" to select the piece to play.īut, the real solution is the album cover. For the artist, if you have the correct name in the metadata, Shuttle will tend to load the artist portrait on its own. The cover art for some albums was not showing up. I had this problem in Shuttle on my Note 4. ![]() Conclusively in a nutshell, Genital Jousting free download is an interesting game available to download.
