The chassis is free of quivers, body motions are moderate, transient responses are prompt if not really eager, and ride quality is agreeably firm. While this powertrain is uninspiring, the Equinox gives a surprisingly good account of itself on rural back roads, as well as on interstates. One positive effect of the four-cylinder’s unrefined voice is that it discourages vigorous use of the throttle, which may account for our observed-fuel-economy result: 21 mpg during the course of this test versus 18 back in 2009, despite all-wheel drive and the additional mass. Although the Equinox is exceptionally quiet at freeway cruising speeds, the sound issuing from beneath the hood at wide-open throttle is quite coarse. ![]() Max power comes on at 6700 rpm, and hearing this engine strain for peak revs is not at all inspirational. Maybe the transmission is so eager to get to the higher gears because it wants to spare the driver the sound of the engine revving.

When she raises her hands to wipe them away, her fingers leave appalling streaks of blood Abbalah-doonThe tears course down her cheeks. ![]() Ty's gone,Judy says.Gorg fascinated him and the abbalah took him. and down will come Tyler, cradle and all. Well, he thinks, maybe on the Fox Network He can feel her trembling from the inside out. He sits down next to her on the bed, puts his arm around her, and simply holds her. Nerves, heart, and mind, it wrenches at himīut he loves her, has loved her from the first week he knew her, helplessly and completely and without the slightest regret ever after, and now love guides him. It is an exhausted, lost sound that wrenches at him. Then her face cramps in a fresh agony of grief and she begins to weep. For a moment he sees gratitude in her eyes. She knows where she is and who is with her. Fred cannot call it sanity (no matter how much he would like to), but it is at least some sort of marginal awareness. She looks up at him and something comes back into her eyes. It's emptiness, as if something inside her has slipped aside and exposed a black hole She raises her head, and when he sees the terrified look in her eyes, he loses what little breath he has left. His heart is hammering in his chest, his nervous system is redlining with adrenaline overload, and his mouth tastes like a burnt fuseįor a wonder, she does stop. He doesn't want to see how badly she has hurt herself until he has to. Her hands are clasped below her knees, out of sight, and Fred is glad. He can't see her faceher hair is screening itbut she's wearing shorts and he can see dapples and streaks of blood on her tanned thighs. The bed itself has been yanked away from the wall. The sheets are heaped in the corner, along with the pillow. Judy Marshall sits on the bare mattress of her son's bed. Some of the scratches are dappled with drying spots of blood In the spot where the picture of Judy and Ty in the hospital had hung, the paper has been torn almost completely away, and he can see where she scraped at the wallboard beneath. And she has been at the wallpaper behind half a dozen. Glass litters the hall in sparkling sprays. Some, like the one of the farm, have been thrown down. Most of these framed photographs have been taken down. What is he supposed to do? When you discover that the woman you love has gone madhad a break with reality, at the very leastwhat are you supposed to do? How the hell do you deal with it? This is like coming into a horror movie halfway through the show, discovering it's real, and not knowing what to do. ![]() I see that now.She pauses, then cries:Abbalah Abbalah-gorg, Abbalah-doonHer tongue comes outcomes out to an impossible, cartoonish lengthand swipes spittishly across her nose. Fred sprints the length of the upstairs hall with glass crunching under his loafers is there not such a thing as mother's intuition? Ty is with his friends he told Fred just last night that he, Ronnie, T.J., and the less-than-pleasant Wexler boy intended to spend the daygoofing off.If the other three boys go somewhere Ty doesn't want to be, he has promised to come directly home. And he actually believes this, in spite of his continued blind confidence in his son's safetyĮven though he's sure Tyler is fine (certainly Fred has had no premonitions today, unless we count his rosy sales prediction about the new Hiler roto), he feels a shudder course through him at the sight of those streaks, and it is not Judy's condition that causes it but what she's just said: Ty's gone. Well, he thinks, carrying her out the door (her arms have crept tiredly up and locked themselves around his neck), I'm over that little misconception. Preoccupation with work was part of it a stubborn refusal to let go of the idea that things were basically all right was the rest of it. How could I not have noticed? But he knows. She's lost maybe twenty pounds since the last time I picked her up like this, he thinks. He picks Judy up in his arms and is appalled all over again, this time by how light she is. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Barbabatch 4Why? Storage was a premium consideration in The Old Days – these files are tiny compared to standard WAV files.) ![]() (For you techies, the older systems don’t want standard PCM encoded 16 bit 44.1K full fidelity WAV files, they want CCITT mu-law encoded 8 bit 8K files.

Follow the Daily Beast’s Obsessed on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and TikTok. But I’m at the point in my life where I need a show that doesn’t demonize the adults in these teens’ lives, and Never Have I Ever is proud to be that kind of show. I’ll always love and root for Devi, Eleanor, Fabiola, and their newer (very funny, non-nerdy) pal Aneesa (Megan Suri)-along with Paxton and Trent and Ben (Jaren Lewison), Devi’s eternal “will they/won’t they” crush. By the end of the season, I cried and cried and cried when Devi finally realized this for herself: Her mom is awesome.Īs much fun as it is to follow the ups and downs of high school life for nerdy girls of color (and it’s always fun!), Season 3 helped me comfortably make peace with how little I can empathize with them these days. We watch her eyebrows arch and soften as she considers the roots of her daughter’s behavior-sneaking out to a party, dating a hot jock she doesn’t approve of-and compromises on them. We’re given breaks from the junior-year drama to see Nalini befriend Rhyah, only to slowly learn that a friendship isn’t always worth it for the sake of having one. (I was a huge-ass nerd in high school too, but not the well-dressed, cute, sociable kind that Devi and her pals are.) But for as much focus as Never Have I Ever places on Devi’s sex-less sexcapades, Season 3 makes it clearer than ever where the real heart lies: the relationship between Devi and her mom. I can and do relate to all of this, except for the “having a boyfriend” parts. ![]() And she badly wants the people in her life to see her as the version of herself she wishes she was, if only she actually knew how to make that wish come true. She dates a fellow first-gen Indian American for the first time, and reckons with the ease and difficulties that come with it. This season, Devi loses the battle against her own self-loathing, resulting in a jealousy that terminally strains her relationship with her dream guy. The 10-episode series revolved around a South Indian-American teenager battling with her father's death while trying to live the best teen life. It’s not that the daily struggles of newly minted high school junior Devi Vishwakumar ( Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) no longer resonate with me. TheKate 5650 Never Have I Ever released on Netflix not a long time ago and viewers have already fallen in love with it. That’s where I’m at with Never Have I Ever, Netflix’s wonderfully funny, incredibly sweet series, now in its third season. Growing up is watching a teen show and realizing that you no longer relate to the main character-but to her parents instead. 5/7/2023 0 Comments Pixelconduit![]() While most professional-grade software can handle multi-cam editing, Premiere Pro goes one step beyond, handling as many sources as necessary with as many angles as required.
