8/14/2023 0 Comments Montage hotels los cabos![]() ![]() For international fare, Marea serves meals day and night, and in-room dining is available around the clock. Prefer to indulge in food and drink? Mezcal is the resort's marquee restaurant, where contemporary Mexican fare is served - think: Mexico City's internationally famous Pujol, but with peaceful views of the Sea of Cortez. For the ocean averse, the resort also has several pools with attentive poolside service. Water sports are free and include free instruction sessions for activities like paddleboarding. This is an incredible extra perk that almost alone justifies splurging on a stay here. In a region where there are astonishingly few places to swim in the sea, Montage sits directly on Santa Maria Bay, where the water is calm and shallow. ![]() While Montage Los Cabos has numerous excellent features, it's hard to overlook its prized possession. These units feature extras like private pools and butlers. These multi-bedroom houses are entirely private and are great for a special occasion (particularly if you're traveling with a group of friends or family). Some include separate bedrooms, and all feature spacious balconies or terraces - many of which provide dramatic ocean views. The suites are particularly sharp, but if you're really after a splurge, the casas are the way to go. Wi-Fi is free and all rooms feature ceiling fans and climate control. Standard features are numerous and include extensive minibars, dining areas, welcome plates of fresh fruit, Nespresso machines, turndown service, living areas with Smart TVs, and Bose Bluetooth docks. Backlit mirrors and tub-side candles all contribute to a vibe that feels glam and romantic at the same time - in other words, you look good in these bathrooms. The latter is used to dramatic effect in the spacious bathrooms, all of which include dual sinks, soaking tubs, and outdoor showers (that are entirely private). ![]() All of that is offset by handsome hardwood paneling and marble. Here, things feel slightly more local, with bright colors and bold patterns complemented by art that reflects Mexican history and indigenous communities. Much like its direct competitors, Chileno Bay Resort & Residences or The Cape, Montage Los Cabos marries luxury details and cool decor with ease. Budget around 35 to 40 minutes to reach the airport outside of San Jose (SJD). Todos Santos - one of Mexico's Magic Towns (Pueblos Magicos) - is a little over an hour away by car. It's home to shops catering to American tourists, as well as landmarks like Land's End, El Arco, and Playa Medano. Cabo San Lucas is a little closer - 15 to 20 minutes by car in the opposite direction. There, you'll find cafes, galleries, boutiques, and tourist shops, all with plenty of character that comes especially to life on Thursday night for the town's Art Walk. It's about a 25-minute drive to the center of charming San Jose del Cabo. While there is literally nothing else within walking distance, free valet parking means you can stash your rental car and retrieve it whenever you want to explore. Montage Los Cabos has a privileged setting amid blissfully undeveloped neighboring land and right along one of the few swimmable beaches in Los Cabos along Santa Maria Bay (Bahia Santa Maria). The resort is family-friendly, though we mostly spotted couples and small groups of friends during our late 2018 visit. Expect lots of desert-hued architecture and luxe materials like marble contrasted with vibrant patterns and colors. That's amplified by the decor found in rooms and throughout the property, which draws on modern Mexican design trends and classic materials. Additions like Paletas - where you can sample Mexico's famous tropically flavored popsicles - or the Pujol-esque restaurant Mezcal all give this resort a sense of place. The property feels exclusive and removed from the world's cares, but the overall atmosphere is quite casual. Low-rise buildings are set throughout the striking desert landscape, all oriented toward the pools and the beach, which is one of the few where you can swim in Cabo. We personally love this trend, and Montage Los Cabos executes it well. That's a feat in Cabo, where many of the region's resorts and hotels do everything in their power to make guests forget that they are, in fact, in Mexico. Part of a new crop of boutique resorts that have opened in Cabo between 20, Montage Los Cabos embraces its Baja Sur setting with grace and ease. ![]()

Discovery following a recent merger, signed with Spotify in 2020. “Batman Unburied” is part of a licensing deal that Warner Bros., the parent company of DC Comics which has since been renamed Warner Bros. Nonetheless, Spotify management has resisted calls to terminate its arrangement with Rogan. Rogan has also come under fire for interviews with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Grunge rock legend Neil Young pulled his songs from Spotify in protest of Rogan’s presence on the streaming service - as have other artists including Ava DuVernay, Joni Mitchell, Nils Lofgren, India Arie, Graham Nash, David Crosby and Stephen Stills. Rogan’s show, “The Joe Rogan Experience,” commands an audience of an estimated 11 million listeners. His tenure on Spotify has been controversial as critics accuse him of giving a wide platform to vaccine skeptics and others who have questioned coronavirus lockdown measures. Rogan, who signed an exclusive licensing deal with Spotify in 2020 for an estimated $200 million, commands an estimated audience of some 11 million listeners. Last September, gaming stars Sapnap and Karl Jacobs grabbed the top spot with their debut “Banter With Sapnap and Karl Jacobs.” This isn’t the first time that Rogan’s podcast has been overtaken for the No. Goyer, tells the story of Bruce Wayne (voice-played by “ Black Panther” star Winston Duke), a forensic pathologist who “has no memory of being the Caped Crusader at all.” The podcast, which is the brainchild of “Dark Knight” screenwriter David S. “Batman Unburied,” which was the top Spotify podcast in the US, Australia, Brazil, France, the UK, Germany, Italy, Mexico, and India, is a fictional audio narrative that flips the usual script of the famous DC Comics story. The top-rated host of Spotify’s “The Joe Rogan Experience” was knocked off his perch as the streaming service’s most listened-to show by a Batman-themed podcast called “Batman Unburied.” ![]() Joe Rogan appears to be no match for Batman.

Guided By Voices’ next album It’s Not Them. The sound of our voices together brought a smile to our faces, and we hope it does the same for you! Barry kindly agreed and knocked it out of the park. The Touché Amoré and Joyce Manor relationship extends 10+ years, and we’ll seek out any excuse to collaborate with friends, so this was the perfect opportunity. Thinking about friends that shared love for GBV, Barry Johnson came to mind. ![]() But upon listening back, it felt like there was missed opportunity. Once in the studio, longtime friend and producer Alex Estrada proposed belting it out, negating the melody, and solving the problem of the song being out of Jeremy’s vocal range (a great suggestion). When discussing songs to cover, everyone in the band submitted ideas, and “Game of Pricks” by Guided By Voices felt like it was in our wheelhouse. In a Bandcamp message, Touché Amoré write: Below, listen to the Touché Amoré cover and the Guided By Voices original. Jeremy Bolm’s melodic bellow and Barry Johnson’s shout fit together nicely, and the band translates the GBV riffage through their own crashing, majestic sound. With their version, Touché Amoré have kept the recording pristine, and they’ve turned the soaring melodies into raging catharsis. “Game Of Pricks” was already a great song, and it already buried its soaring melodies under layers of tape-hiss murk. TIDAL is the first global music streaming service with high fidelity sound, hi-def video quality, along with expertly curated playlists and original content making it a trusted source for music and culture. Put very simply, Touché Amoré’s cover kicks ass. On the B-side, the band has taken on “Game Of Pricks,” the hooks-on-hooks lo-fi power-pop anthem from Guided By Voices’ 1995 album Alien Lanes. Gravity, Metaphorically (BBC Live Version) 3. ![]() It’s got “Hard To Explain” on the A-side. Live On BBC Radio 1: Vol 2 by touche amore, released 30 September 2014 1. Today, Touché Amoré have shared a two-song Bandcamp single called Covers Vol. In July, frontman Jeremy Bolm sang lead on the great Two Minutes To Late Night version of the Pixies’ “Where Is My Mind.” Last month, Touché dropped their take on the Strokes’ “Hard To Explain.” And now, Touché have enlisted a friend, Joyce Manor leader Barry Johnson, to help out on their remake of an indie rock classic. More recently, Touché have been covering other people’s tracks, which seems like a pretty good way to unwind after scraping their own souls. Last year, for example, they released Lament, one of the year’s best albums. Californian post-hardcore warriors Touché Amoré make bruising, emotional music. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Crunch fitness long beach![]() ![]() I worked the front desk at Crunch for about 2 years, over this time I had 4 different managers. On the plus side, access to the facilities is great, management is approachable (when present), and staff are generally supportive of each other. So looking at the company from a member's perspective, you see employees who are either unmotivated and neglected, or stressed out and desperate to sell you something. The trainers and membership advisors are also paid minimum wage, but are paid commissions on top depending on how many sessions/memberships they sell and generally have to work split shifts, which means unless they want to commute back and forth twice a day, they are in the gym for ten to twelve hours a day. For example, the Front Desk staff, who do the vast majority of the customer interaction, are paid minimum wage, aren't offered healthcare, are figuratively chained to the front desk for the duration of their shift, and have to take the brunt of all issues and complaints. It's a great environment to work in with friendly employees, but the lack of communication between departments, outdated billing policies designed to leech as much money off people as possible and the company's disregard for low level employees makes work relatively stressful. Attempt to treat your staff like valuable assets and just maybe you'll see the results you've been recklessly trying to force/squeeze. The company may experience less turnover. ![]() I feel if you bring back that air of excitement and love for the job the passion to legitimately help not only your staff but members focus on people not just numbers. Act like your employees are adults and not children in need of micromanaging. Provide more training where and when needed. Move forward and work together to grow and improve. Don't spend so much time focusing on where your team/teams have fallen short. Appreciate your smaller teams for there successes and build them up. Yes, every job is work, filled with it's own type of stress and politics but as of late, due to so many changes It's been unbelievably awful. I feel that the efforts to drive revenue has disrupted the environment I'd once loved. Unfortunately, corporate has been making changes, shifting management around. Members are hands down a pleasure to get to know and help. I loved the facility I worked at the dynamic and people I worked with were amazing. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Lovely little moments photography![]() ![]() Changes that can be hard to recognize in the bustle of day-to-day living. No matter how imperfect.Īs I look back on photos I took only a few months ago, I can see so many changes in my life. Years from now, it will not be the brand of camera or the settings I chose that will matter to me-it will be the tiny, imperfect details that mean the most.Ī moment captured is worth so much more than a moment forgotten. In photos, the beautiful, messy, imperfect details are what shine. ![]() Taking photos of our everyday life helps me to embrace imperfection-to see the magic in the messes, joy in the mundane, and humor in the hard things. Something about seeing life through my camera lens or my phone view finder helps me see things more clearly, and allows me to focus (literally!) on the positive things in my life. Big or small, taking a photo helps me see the bright spots in my day and allows me to hold on to them. Photography heightens my awareness of the good things in my life. Here are some benefits of capturing moments through photography, which have allowed me to spend precious moments with my family, and also to focus on the important things in life. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or you’re capturing your life story using your phone camera, there is so much to be gained from taking the time to capture the moments that matter most. I’m so thankful for the way my camera offers me gentle reminders to have patience, slow down, and enjoy life’s simple moments as they happen. Sandwiched between the tedium of everyday living, I find a million joyful moments-if I’m looking for them. Through photography, I’ve learned to appreciate my life as it is right now instead of wishing for better days ahead. I’ve been seeing my life through the lens for the past 14 years, and the perspective it’s given me has been invaluable. As a photographer and our family’s designated memory keeper, photos play an important role in our every day story. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Zookeeper simulator logo![]() ![]() We have provided direct link full setup of the game.

8/14/2023 0 Comments Carbon copy cloner encryption![]() ![]() Previously, this difference would cause CCC to believe that the network volume was mounted with other credentials altogether, and CCC would refuse to use the network volume under the assumption that permissions issues would ensue. Fixed an odd edge case in OS X in which you can mount a network volume using a short user name, such as "johnny", but the remote host will place the long name in the filesystem URL that is returned, e.g. We have also added answers to some frequently asked questions about full disk encryption to our documentation. If full disk encryption is not supported on a particular volume, CCC indicates exactly why not. Enabling encryption on an OS X backup volume, for example, involves several steps that must be executed in the correct order. CCC now offers volume-specific advice about how to enable full disk encryption. This update is fully qualified on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, OS X 10.7 Lion, OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, and now OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

But those promises of security only go so far, so we require that any password managers we recommend participate in regular third-party security audits (preferably audits that they make public) and have a bug-bounty program. ![]() A good password manager needs to use strong encryption to protect your data on your computer, on your password manager’s server, and when your data is moving between the two. Good protection for your passwords: You’re trusting your password manager with your entire digital existence, and your password manager should store your data securely.Regardless of the password manager you use, it’s important to protect your data with a strong master password-we have advice for how to do that below. Bitwarden works on the same devices as 1Password, so you can use it with any computer, phone, tablet, or browser. But the free version of Bitwarden offers the core features you need in a password manager, including the ability to sync as many passwords as you want across as many devices as you own, support for software two-factor authentication, and sharing between two people with separate logins using a two-person organization. Plus, Bitwarden isn’t as polished overall and lacks the in-app guidance of 1Password, which makes it harder for beginners to get the hang of. In conclusion, SetupVPN is worth a try - it works well with the Google Chrome browser, and it provides decent browsing speeds whilst anonymizing your online presence.The free version of Bitwarden gets the basics right and doesn’t cost a thing, but it lacks a few features that make 1Password such a standout option, such as password checkups and 1 GB of encrypted storage (all features you can find in Bitwarden’s reasonably priced, $10-per-year premium plan). After running a few speed tests, we averaged about 30Mbps for download and about 50MBps for upload. It's not too fast, but not too slow either, and the websites we browsed through loaded just fine, without significant delays. No one expects VPN services to measure up to those of your ISP, but as far as this one is concerned, the speed is not too bad. The same was true whilst connecting to a Japanese server: Netflix pricing was now in Yen. This was reflected in the price changes, too: the values were now expressed in US Dollars rather than our local currency. We now had access to the US versions of YouTube, Netflix, and so on. Sites will recognize the change, and you'll notice that upon visiting. When we connected to the US server, our address was from New Jersey. With the lookup tool provided, we were able to see that we now had a Japanese IP located in the vicinity of Tokyo. The connection is established in just a few seconds, and the IP change immediately took effect. This extension allows you to quickly and easily change your online location to any of the 12 supported countries on its list: connecting is as easy as clicking one of them, and that's all there is to it. SetupVPN for Chrome provides a compelling offer through its user-friendly interface and general ease of use, allowing you to connect to a different location within seconds. With growing privacy and tracking concerns, plus the burgeoning regional restrictions of popular services, it's understandable why one might turn to utilize such software.Ī good number of browser extensions have propped up as well, and it's never been easier to start using a VPN. ![]() ![]() VPN usage has skyrocketed in the past couple of years. ![]() 8/14/2023 0 Comments Link it answers![]() ![]() And, if ever a time comes when finding Word Connect answers has you stumped, our solver tool can save the day.
