Many fans are curious how many teeth he has gotten out of this drive, and why he wanted so many. When a user replied to the request asking if he wanted human teeth or resin teeth, Jack replied that there were no limitations. On January 28th, 2019, Jack uploaded a video asking people to send their teeth to him while thanking people who had sent him teeth after he tweeted a request for them on December 4th, 2018. Some believe it is a metaphor, while others believe it is merely a choice of style. He has never directly stated why he mentions teeth so often. Finally, on Halloween 2020, Jack made and released a short film called OPAL, which centers around a young girl investigating a mysterious house from across her street.Įxample of Jack using realistic teeth for characters from the Out the Ox music video.Ī popular trope amongst fans of Jack's work is his frequent references to teeth in his songs, animations, and his usage of realistic teeth on his clay characters. Then in March 2019, Jack made a full mini-series for Adult Swim called SHOP: A Pop Opera, a six-episode series about a man who goes shopping and learns many lessons about life based around the foods and people he runs into along the way. His next short would be a preexisting video called Valentine's Day is Not for the Lonely, which would be featured on an episode of Off the Air. His first short for Adult Swim would be Wishing Apple in July 2018. Jack has also done a few animations for Adult Swim. Another unique feature of Jack's art is a frequent style of drawing or sculpting characters where the nose (and sometimes the ears) of a character are flushed while the rest of the skin is pale. Another text style synonymous with Jack is putting text (usually white) over a colored screen and using a chroma effect to make the text appear as if it's floating. This text style has since become a trademark style of Jack's content. This effect is achieved by holding the Shift key and dragging a selected item across the screen. In his Microsoft-Paint drawings and animations, Jack often uses a trailing effect to create patterns in the background, emphasize text, and distort characters' faces. One notable style is in his more surreal drawings where he draws characters with distorted facial and body features, such as bouncy and emphasized facial features and body parts either being in the wrong places or being built in usual ways. ![]() Jack Stauber has developed very unique artstyles, which is noticeable both in his sculptures, animations, and illustrations.

However, he has stated in the aforementioned interview that just about every song he writes has a meaning, with him claiming that he wouldn't sing them if it didn't make sense. This has caused various listeners to believe that his lyrics are random and just for fun. Jack is also notable for his lyrics, which are often bizarre and infamously hard to make out, resulting in numerous misheard lyrics.

That brings me to the Wrights Leather Works holster. ![]() I am 6 foot 1 inch tall and around 280lbs and double clip hybrids usually don't work well for me. What has worked is a Little Foxx Hybrid and a versacarry. I have tried several cheapies from Amazon that haven't worked either.

I have settled on a BlackHawk Serpa for OWB carry and I couldn't be happier with it. I will add that in that time, I have tried MANY different holsters. It arrived priority USPS and they sent me notification when it shipped. I placed my order May 28 and received it today. When I purchased, the turn around time was over 3 months, and just under 3 months it took. This decision was based on quality, reviews, price, and style. I looked at several contenders and decided to go with Wright Leather Works for my purchase. After all of the reviews, I decided I wanted at least one quality all leather holster. As most of you know, most holsters have as many good reviews as they have bad. I read hundreds of reviews and looked at dozens of options. Soon after I bought my S&W M&P Shield 9mm hand gun I started looking for quality, usable IWB and OTB holsters. Now, qualified purchases of any PDP pistol will also include 100 rounds of ammunition to help buyers save money and shoot more.This review is for my initial thoughts about my Wright Leather Works IWB holster. The end result has been a hit with male and female shooters, alike. Changes included a reduced grip circumference, shorter trigger reach, and an easier-to-rack slide assembly made possible by an innovative two-piece striker system. In particular, Walther consulted with women in firearms industry, honing the F-Series to fit their needs. Available in 3.5- and 4-inch configurations, the F-Series PDPs were designed for shooters with smaller hands or reduced grip strength. Standing out in the lineup are the F-Series pistols. Available in configurations for duty and defense, concealed carry and even competition, the PDP has been nothing short of a homerun for Walther and an exemplar of ergonomics and excellent triggers among its polymer-frame, striker-fire peers. Ultimately replacing the acclaimed PPQ family of semiautomatic pistols, Walther's PDP platform has become the brand's flagship handgun. Play Handguns Free Ammo! Walther PDP Special The leather has the aroma of upscale luxury automobile leather, unlike the leather typically used in the construction of a holster. The color of this holster is a unique shade of walnut, which is rich in detail and reminds me of creamy milk chocolate. The footprint of the Banshee holster with a concealed firearm is 1.44 inches in depth and 6.46 inches in width. My preferred fit allowed for a smooth draw, and the cut of the holster permitted a full firing grip from the draw, helping my sights to naturally align upon press out. The Banshee holster has maintained this fit, staying tight over 30 days of carry. ![]() I checked the fitment every 10 to 12 hours until I was satisfied with the level of retention the holster provided. I ultimately placed the pistol in the plastic bag that the Banshee arrived in and reinserted the pistol into the holster, leaving it for about 72 hours. The holster itself was very tight fitting when it first arrived, and it clutched my Shield in a death grip when I initially inserted it. The spring clips were solid, and the Banshee holster remained in position even after a long day. I tried the leather straps but found the fit to be somewhat cumbersome, and it allowed the holster to shift in height throughout the day. I chose the latter due to the ease of obtaining a perfect fit and short amount of time needed to install and remove the holster from my belt. Two methods of belt attachments are available: high-ride leather straps and tuckable deep-concealment steel spring clips. The Banshee holster is adjustable for cant and ride depth and designed to adjust to most body types and angle preferences. The Banshee holster is a low-profile, pancake-style inside-the-waistband holster, and when paired with the slim frame of my M&P Shield with Trijicon HD night sights, it provided me with a very concealable package. I carried the Banshee holster model and opted for the $50 Master Collection Upgrade, an option that adds a soft pigskin lining to the interior of the holster. Every holster is custom made, and each piece of material is handcut, sewn and molded from the highest-quality full-grain domestic hides and materials available. Wright Leather Works is a custom holster manufacturer based out of Green Springs, Ohio. ![]() The outer fabric protects it from dirt and abrasions. The waterproof layer also has microscopic pores that allow sweat vapor to pass through to the outside, making the jacket breathable. The water-resistant layer is either applied as a film or bonded to the interior of the face fabric, blocking out water droplets and keeping you dry. To achieve that balance between repelling outside moisture and venting internal sweat vapor, rain jackets pair a water-resistant coating or membrane ( Gore-Tex is one example) with a durable outer face fabric. What to Consider When Shopping for Rain Jackets I know what makes a good waterproof product, and what runners are looking for in their gear. Since then, I’ve put in nearly a decade of experience reviewing and writing about gear and apparel for Runner’s World, Bicycling, and other media outlets, including lots of weatherproof outerwear. During that time, I also worked as a full-time, year-round bike messenger in downtown Portland, Oregon, so I have high standards for technical gear that can keep you dry in weather most people don’t venture out in. The Expert: I started running in the Pacific Northwest, where waiting for a dry day would mean missing at least eight annual months of amazing running. Roomiest Fit: Jack Wolfskin Prelight 2.5L Jacket.Best Breathable: Salomon Bonatti Waterproof.Best Packable: Janji Rainrunner Pack Jacket.Best Vaue: Columbia Pouration Rain Jacket.Best Overall: Outdoor Research Helium Jacket.10 Strategies for Running in Winter Best Rain Jackets for Running.If it’s warm out, you’re better off running with no jacket at all-a waterproof layer will just make you hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable. That means it’s important to look at the forecast and grab a jacket that matches the conditions you’ll face: Lighter, more breathable options for a drizzle, and heavier waterproof options for longer runs through steady downpours. There’s no rain jacket that’s perfectly breathable and perfectly waterproof. There’s a delicate balance between designing a jacket to keep water off your back, while allowing heat and sweat vapor to escape. All of them demand one key compromise: Breathability. The best rain jackets for running range from ultralight layers that protect against mild precipitation to more robust outerwear that provides stronger waterproofing. A lightweight rain jacket keeps your upper body from getting soaked so you can run comfortably, no matter what’s in the forecast. But with the right gear, running in the rain isn’t just possible, it’s a lot of fun. A good training schedule requires consistency, and that means heading out for a run even in wet weather (or resigning yourself to the treadmill). For many runners, rain jackets aren’t an optional accessory-they’re an essential piece of running gear.

Usually, the text doesn’t directly state: The author’s purpose of this text is to inform the reader… So in order for students to identify the author’s purpose of a text, they are going to have to make an inference. Idea #4 – Finding Text Evidence to Support Author’s Prupose Anytime I teach about nonfiction text strucutre, I also like to include a visual symbol to help remind students about that text structure so a visual cue is always a good option as well.You could create a chart for just nonfiction or one that includes both nonfiction and fiction text structures.Include a chart or table that shows the type of text structure and how it connects to a specific author’s purpose.Possible Title: Purpose & Structure or The Author’s Purpose and Text Structure Connection.There is a lot of benefit to teaching the connection between author’s purpose and text structure. If students can recognize one, they should be able to recognize the other. If an author wants to entertain their readers with a made-up story, they would organize their text with the fictional plot structure.Īuthor’s purpose and text structure go hand-in-hand. If an author wants to explain the negative impact of eating too much sugar, they would organize their text with a cause-and-effect text structure. If an author wants to describe the taiga biome, they would organize their text with a description text structure. If you think about it, the reason why an author is wanting to write a text will also impact how they organize their text as well… One of my favorite things to do when teaching author’s purpose (or any reading skill for that matter) is to show students how it connects to all the other reading comprehension skills that they have learned.Īuthor’s purpose has a strong connection to a lot of other reading skills and one of them is text structure. Idea #3: Author’s Purpose & Text Structure You could also include an example of each type of purpose if you want to get real fancy.Provide a chart with an explanation of what each type of purpose is (like the picture).List out what each letter of InDEEP stands for.Possible Title: Author’s Purpose or Why Authors Write.Since author’s purpose is really so much more complex than just PIE, I like to use this anchor chart when teaching students the different reason’s why authors write. This helps break down nonfiction texts just a little bit better and starts to connect the author’s purpose to text structure (which I’ll cover in the next anchor chart. If you use the InDEEP acronym to introduce author’s purpose to your students, you’ll cover the following: When introducing author’s purpose, I like to exaplain that the author’s purpose is basically their reason for writing the text. ![]() The acronym InDEEP literally goes a little bit deeper than PIE in explaining the different types of author’s purpose. I prefer to use the acronym INDEEP to teach upper elementary students the different types of author’s purpose. Some smartwatches let you choose which apps you want to receive alerts from, and the options go beyond just call and text notifications.īut the extra fitness features are arguably the most important thing to think about when deciding between a fitness tracker and a smartwatch. You can use one to control smart home appliances, set timers and reminders, check weather reports and more. There are things like on-watch apps, alerts and even more robust fitness features that smartwatches have and the best fitness trackers don’t. ![]() If you need a bit more from your wearable, a smartwatch may be the best buy for you. Yes, more expensive bands exist (and we recommend a few here), but you’ll find more options under $150 in the fitness tracker space than in the smartwatch space. Most worthwhile smartwatches start at $175 to $200, but you can get a solid fitness tracker starting at $70. When it comes to price point, there’s no competition. While most smartwatches last one to two days on a single charge, fitness bands offer between five and seven days of battery life - and that’s with all-day and all-night use even with sleep tracking features enabled Fitness trackers are also a better option for those who just want a less conspicuous device on their wrists all day.īattery life tends to be better on fitness trackers, too. They also tend to have fewer sensors and internal components, which keeps them smaller and lighter. They often don’t have the bells and whistles that smartwatches do, which could distract from their health tracking abilities. ![]() When I say “focus,” I’m alluding to the fact that fitness trackers are made to track activity well anything else is extra. ![]() Since its release, Civilization VI received no less than 177,690 reviews on Steam, and the overall rating is "Very Positive" thanks to 84% of the total being positive reviews.
