It hasn’t always been love songs and “Black” is a reflection when happy endings turned sour, leaving us, lost and alone. It’s a harsh one, because then your truest one is the one you can’t have forever.” I’ve heard it said that you can’t really have a true love unless it was a love unrequited. It’s very rare for a relationship to withstand the Earth’s gravitational pull and where it’s going to take people and how they’re going to grow. ![]() Eddie Vedder described “Black” as “ It’s a song about first relationships and letting go. Specifically that moment happened, during the coda of “Black” from Ten, when Eddie adlibbed “♫ We belong together! ♫” The angst, the ache and the emptiness was something anyone under thirty could feel when Eddie Vedder sang “Black.” In that moment, “Black” was no longer Pearl Jam’s this teary anthem of lost love became our song.Īccording to Pearl Jam Twenty, the book written by the band and film director Cameron Crowe, “Black” began as guitarist Stone Gossard demo called “E ballad.” Crowe wrote, “ struck a chord with teenagers experiencing their first brushes with love, breaking up, and adult emotions.” I was a late bloomer when it came to romance and “Black” was my soundtrack for my twenties and thirties, when I lost in deep lust, searching for love-not just for me, Vedder and Pearl Jam sang for all of us. “Alive” and “Even Flow” might have made the band superstars but with “Black” Pearl Jam and Vedder became lyrical legends who had the heart aching pulse of our nations displaced generation. ![]() I remember the moment, watching M-TV Unplugged, when Eddie Vedder made the connection with teenage America.

![]() And I’ve always put socks/underwear in with the towels…. But I do like to wash towels separately from other clothes for the lintiness factor. I don’t worry about separating darks/colors per se. I don’t like doing laundry, so I keep it as simple as possible. Only 3 days a week are spent on laundry at all and putting away is streamlined. (tablecloth, kitchen rags, etc.) are another day for getting into “folding large items” mode. I do my daughters’ clothes another day and it all ends up back in the same dresser (they share a room). When they all have hangers, I pick up the entire stack of shirts and hang them up. Then I put a hanger in the top one and fold the hanger down and continue putting a hanger in the next. My trick for hanging shirts is to lay them all in a stack on the bed. Then, when a load is done, I know I need to fold or hang all of it, and it goes pretty quickly. So when it’s the day for parents’ laundry, I sort folded clothes (pants, socks, undies) separately from hanging clothes (shirts, mostly). Due to living in a foreign country, I can only use cold water and line dry, so the clothes take it pretty well. Laundry is one thing I’m pretty simple with. Using this system for us means laundry is no longer a huge burden in our household and thankfully no longer an all day chore.ĭo you have a laundry system that works for you or is laundry an ongoing hassle in your house? Towels and sheets each get their own loads as well, as needed. I typically don’t buy high maintenance clothing especially things that need to be ironed. Usually those are so few and far between though that it’s so not a big deal. Sweet! Occasionally my daughter will have a dress to be washed or some other delicate and we do hold those out and wash them in a separate load. So not only have I gotten rid of the sorting process but, with the big kids at least, the folding process as well. I must say, sorting clothes is highly overrated □Įach kid usually has one full load of laundry a week and the beauty of this system is that it makes it very easy to teach and have them do their own laundry. As in I no longer spend any time trying to figure out whose socks are whose. I’ve eliminated the entire sorting process all together. Although note of caution wash new red items and denim separately the first time. ![]() I’ve yet to wreck a piece of clothing doing it this way. I just add about a 1/2 cup of vinegar to each load to help set the colors and prevent the colors from running. I thought for sure the colors would run but they didn’t. Gasp! No sorting laundry!!Ĭan you even believe it? I certainly couldn’t. In other words, I throw their whole basket of laundry into one load WITHOUT separating the whites and colors. Each child still has a laundry basket in their room but rather than do everyone’s laundry all at once, I do one child’s load at a time. Now with the wisdom I gleaned from my friend Beth, I can honestly say my new laundry method has changed my life. Finding a big chunk of time like that to devote to this task was tough. It took forever and I was constantly putting it off because I always felt like the laundry had to get done all at once so everyone would have a full basket to return to their rooms. Then when it was all washed I’d start the sorting process all over again as I sorted each child’s clothing back into their individual baskets. Each of my kids has a hamper in their bedrooms and on laundry day they’d each bring their basket downstairs and I would start the chore of sorting the piles of laundry into whites and darks. In order to get the full picture though of how much time and frustration this particular system saves me, let me walk you through how I use to do laundry. During the presentation the lovely speaker, Beth, discussed her laundry system and it was one of those moments where I thought, now gosh why didn’t I think of that. A few years ago I had an a-ha moment during an organizing workshop at a blog conference I was attending. ![]() ![]() It's a sorta base building type sim with raiding combat elements.

In the game there are two different sets of enemies, which are defined in their own classes, though both inheriting from a parent AI class. ![]() The EasyAI’s functionality relies mostly on timers and rectangle intersections. In order for the EasyAI to avoid running into obstacles, it has a rectangle created in front of it that detects an intersection with a wall.įor movement it relies on a timer that changes the AI’s direction ever couple seconds. When such an intersection occurs, the EasyAI skips the timer and changes direction. In this way the EasyAI wanders around the map randomly until, by a similar process using rectangles, finds the player and begins shooting arrows. The EasyAI has one health and will die when hit by an arrow Graphs To avoid shooting unnecessarily, the AI checks to see if there is a wall in between itself and the player. The MediumAI, rather than wandering around aimlessly, uses a generated graph and Breadth First Search to seek out the player. In this process the MediumAI first sees if it can attack the player, using the same rectangle process as the EasyAI. If it is not in range, then it follows the path set up by the BFS method. ![]() The BFS method uses graph theory to determine the shortest route to the player while also considering obstacles. This is accomplished by generating a graph that has repeated nodes layered over the map. Nodes are placed in a regular order and are not placed when they lie within a obstacle. Mando couldn't stand the thought of there being some unopened chests in our playthrough, so here's the ones we missed I'm willing to bet everything in these. Additionally, edges are formed between nodes that are adjacent to each other in the x and y direction. Through this graph the MediumAI can use the player’s position on the graph and then its own position to determine the best path and make a move. It repeats this process of movement and attack until the player is dead. The only break in this process is when the player shoots an arrow towards the MediumAI. The MediumAI has a set of rectangles that lie in all 4 directions that will detect a player’s arrow if it intersects with one of them. First the “dangerDetector” determines if the arrow is headed towards the mediumAI. If it is, then the MediumAI will do its best to dodge the arrow by moving out of the way. The MediumAI has two health and will lose part of its armor when hit by an arrow.Īvoiding danger takes priority over pursuing the player and attacking and will be done first. Note: By pressing g during survival, the map’s graph is displayed. By pressing s, the path of the mediumAI is shown. ![]() Kill attacking troops in ‘Come Get Some!’) you are automatically entered into that Tourney and added to the leaderboard.įantastic question, Sire.
