![]() The restaurant is across the street from Carter-Finely Stadium where the hockey game was hosted.īar Manager Jesse Gibson said business was booming. The NHL Stadium Series weekend brought thousands of people to Raleigh this weekend, and restaurants like Backyard Bistro were positioned to welcome the crowds. (WTVD) - Backyard Bistro is coming off of one of its busiest weekends yet. (With booze, too.The NHL Stadium Series weekend brought thousands of people to Raleigh this weekend. The Ice House will serve Texas barbecue - smoked brisket, jalapeño-cheddar sausage and the like - and has six hitting bays out the back that look like a covered driving range. Guests who venture outside of the hotel will find a sprawling ranch with restaurants that look out over the courses. There’s a separate menu at the hotel spa, Green Cactus Cafe. ![]() ![]() The sixth-floor infinity pool will serve a more global menu, Hasho says, like a yuzu-kelp noodle bowl or a brisket bao bun. Trick Rider is inside the hotel but has its own entrance and valet, and chef Hasho says he hopes it becomes a dinner spot for neighbors and vacationers alike.Īlso inside the hotel is all-day restaurant The Apron, a lobby bar called The Lookout, a coffee shop and market named Toast & Tee, a poolside restaurant, and a separate adults-only pool, restaurant and bar named Bluestem. A 1,500-pound horse covered in crystals will hang above the bar, in homage to the women who are horse stunt riders and gave the restaurant its name. The fanciest restaurant is Trick Rider, a dinner-only spot that will serve caviar and flights of Wagyu. The Omni PGA will need to hire more than 1,000 people total, 400 of whom are restaurant workers. There’s no Neighborhood Services or Bob’s Steak & Chop House, which are at Omni hotels in Frisco and downtown Dallas, respectively.Īt Omni PGA, executive chefs Josh Hasho and Adam Solowitz will hire 118 chefs and cooks to operate the one-of-a-kind concepts on site. Notably, Omni PGA didn’t follow the model of most other resorts by bringing in name-brand restaurants, licensed by the hotel. Margaret’s Cones & Cups is an ice cream shop at Omni PGA Frisco that has light fixtures that look like waffle cones. Margaret is the daughter of Blake Rowling, who is the president of Omni’s parent company TRT Holdings. The 13 restaurants and bars on the property include a supper club at the hotel and a colorful ice cream shop named Margaret’s. (Lawrence Jenkins / Special Contributor) Where to eat at Omni PGA Frisco Resort The Ice House seats 235 people inside and out and will sell barbecue and beer. In addition to a large number of restaurants on the Omni PGA Frisco property, the restaurants themselves are also big. Why not add a world-class golf club? It fits, Smith says. The Dallas Cowboys are headquartered in Frisco and there’s a minor league baseball team (the RoughRiders) and a professional soccer team (FC Dallas). ![]() Or perhaps it’s similar to the destination resorts across Texas like Horseshoe Bay near Marble Falls, La Cantera in San Antonio and the massive JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort. ![]() It would be natural to compare this property to the other major real estate developments in North Texas, which include the aforementioned restaurant parks plus The Star in Frisco (91 acres) and The Village in East Dallas (307 acres). The restaurants look out over a 2-acre putting course, which the developers believe is one of the largest putting courses in the United States. The project is in Frisco, south of Highway 380 and west of the Dallas North Tollway. The new PGA headquarters sits up on a hill, overlooking the lavish Omni PGA Frisco Resorts golf courses and restaurants. While we’re counting, Omni’s piece of it has a hotel with 500 guest rooms 10 standalone, rentable homes with four bedrooms each four pools and 13 restaurants and bars. The $10 billion project from banker Bert Fields’ former family ranch will someday include 14,000 new homes. The entire property is much bigger, 2,500 acres. The reason the PGA campus spans 660 acres, in part, is because of two 18-hole golf courses. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() With Filament, any artist can make mad art without crazy rigs or waiting for 10-hour renders. ![]() “ Filament has a huge market appeal - it works amazingly for everybody, no matter how old the system they’re working on is.

Introducing the newest update to Daz Studio: Studio 4.14 ![]() ![]() Eventually, Kulea fell pregnant and things went very south very fast. Kulea and the king did truly fall in love, and were as happy as a couple can be when they’re relegated to sneaking about. They did not love each other as partners, and both sought romantic and physical affection anywhere but each other. but it was so flattering, and it was hardly hurting anyone: the king and queen were the farthest thing you could get from a romantic couple. Kulea knew that it wasn’t particularly noble of her to return his affections. It was this charm that caught the attention of the king. She knew she was no looker, and hardly the most talented or impressive lioness, so she funneled her energy into creating a witty sense of humor for herself, so she would not be entirely invisible to her peers. The full story in which she fills this archetype is here Kulea was always a very awkward, insecure lioness. ![]() Vitani was the lucky one of the litter, being saved in time along with Kovu. They did seem to be surviving, however, and it was not until the fire at Pride Rock that they died, due to smoke inhalation. Vitani was a runt, Ushindi (black mane tuft) and Damu (middle cub) were very weak and did not eat well, and Uvumilivu was quite deformed. Zira and Scar had several stillbirths before Nuka survived, and their second surviving litter-Vitani’s litter-was not healthy. She and her parents escaped having physical health problems, but most of her cubs were not so lucky. Scar’s Child: (This one is rather depressing, but they are genuinely my only Scar’s-kids-OCs, so.) Zira’s genes were not the best, due to her family having a history of, eh, electing not to mix with the commoners. ![]() My second attempt at one of these memes, this time ’s version, which you can find here ![]() ![]() ![]() I hope my logic is correct - it's very easy to make a mistake in this kind of tedious bit work. The whole trick is expressing it in string format with RFC compliance, and it's most tightly accomplished with 16 bytes of random data, an unrolled loop and lookup table. The funny thing is, generating 16 bytes of random data is the easy part. But with four variables assigned random data up front, then using the lookup table, and applying the proper RFC bits, this version smokes them all: I tried this once with a single random variable, r, that I kept reassigning, and performance tanked. ![]() Since we're looping a fixed number of times, we can technically write this all out by hand. The final optimization technique to apply - unroll the loop. Though it had fewer iterations, the inner logic was complicated by the increased processing, and it performed the same on desktop, and only ~10% faster on mobile. I tried an e6() that processes 16-bits at a time, still using the 256-element LUT, and it showed the diminishing returns of optimization. Interested in how? I've put the full source on and on įor an explanation, let's start with broofa's code: So by my 6th iteration of optimizations, I beat the most popular answer by over 12 times, the accepted answer by over 9 times, and the fast-non-compliant answer by 2-3 times. Note: 500k iterations, results will vary by browser/CPU. Not really, but it's easy if you follow along.īut first, my results, compared to broofa, guid (the accepted answer), and the non-rfc-compliant generateQuickGuid: Desktop Android Indeed, joelpt even decided to toss out an RFC for generic GUID speed with generateQuickGUID.īut, can we get speed and RFC compliance? I say, YES! Can we maintain readability? Well. Awesome!īut if you're looking at that regular expression, those many replace() callbacks, toString()'s and Math.random() function calls (where he's only using four bits of the result and wasting the rest), you may start to wonder about performance. RFC4122 compliant, somewhat readable, and compact. Broofa's answer is pretty slick, indeed - impressively clever, really. ![]() ![]() We have conveniently sorted our offering into alphabetical order so you can find exactly what you’re looking for.

Our republic was founded upon a human-and therefore flawed-love of both liberty and justice. This issues in a quest to eradicate inequalities produced by markets, classes, racism, sexism, and every other form of discrimination, real or imagined. The woke instead pursue a justice monomaniacally defined by equality. But we must balance justice against other goods and virtues that make for a decent life in common: forgiveness, order, prosperity, equality, honor, civility. The cry of “no justice, no peace” reflects a partial truth: without a measure of justice, civic peace becomes an impossibility. It is the coda to the refrain of no justice, no peace, a phrase that was similarly vaulted to the national stage in the wake of Ferguson, whose roots also lie in the wake of racially motivated vigilante violence.Īs Hampton observes, “rest in power” suggests possibilities of meaning tied to the protest slogan, “no justice, no peace.” At the surface level, it evokes the idea that the truly woke dead cannot know peace until justice comes, and that the bearers of their memory should discover inspiration for the struggle from their death.Ĭonsider first the demand for justice. What rest in power offers mourners of Dream and Tupac Shakur and Sandra Bland over rest in peace is the chance for a senseless death to matter in a way that a life could not. But her explanation of why the phrase became popular is striking: Last September, Slate’s Rachelle Hampton lamented the phrase’s increasing “overuse,” and the threat that it might become diluted to the point of meaninglessness. In the last few years, it has become a more widely-used phrase of choice for those on the left to remember the dead. ![]() One acquires the sneaking suspicion that we consequently don’t know much about how to die-or how to remember those who have passed.Ĭonsider one relatively recent shift in how some people now memorialize the dead: “Rest in Power.” The phrase first appeared in public about twenty years ago courtesy of Oakland, California’s graffiti culture. ![]() We structure our society around delaying it at almost all costs, and tend to shield ourselves from looking too closely as it arrives to claim our loved ones. Prior to the pandemic, for most Americans, ordinary life involved a comfortable orbit between home and work, and strenuous efforts to avoid contemplating the passage of time too deeply. As Jocko Willink is fond of pointing out, that time is always running out. The choices we make, the people and objects toward which we display our love and devotion, and the manner in which we spend our time form that preparation. Whether we know it or not, we live in preparation for dying. ![]() ![]() ![]() So, take the details mentioned below with a pinch of salt. It would be one of the first games on the platform, developers might have ideas that they cannot implement due to lack of resources. As a result, most of the features mentioned below are mere speculations. Most of the things that we know about the game come from keen-eyed observers who watched each frame of the trailer to analyze every detail. There isn’t a lot of information regarding the next-gen entry in the Forza Motorsport series.

When is Forza Motorsport 8 Release Date?Īs of now, Microsoft hasn’t revealed the Forza Motorsport 8 release date. It seems developers of the game are going to ante up the Forza Motorsport simulation aspect in their latest entry.

However, it is speculated that the company will retain the traditional numbering pattern with “8” in the end. It gave hint that Microsoft is contemplating changes in the naming strategy, maybe they want a fresh start on the next-gen platforms. The tech giant in the teaser didn’t refer the game as “ Forza Motorsport 8”. It seems the studio has ditched the name, Forza Motorsport 8. ![]() On 23rd July 2020, Microsoft unveiled its next-gen entry in the Forza franchise, the Forza Motorsport. However, when we were expecting an entry in the Forza Horizon series in 2020, Microsoft came up with a surprise. However, Microsoft broke this pattern in 2019 by releasing a spin-off, Forza Street.

"There was plenty of fuel to burn in that truck." "It would have burned all day," McDonald said. Our packages also work with Chevy's 6.2L V-8 engine and on any style of truck - regular cab, double cab & crew cab. The smaller bottles, named Fireball Cinnamon, are made from a blend of malt beverage and wine, while the. This means our trucks make a ridiculous amount of power - 550 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque to be exact. Consumers are suing Sazerac Company, Inc., the makers of Fireball whiskey, for fraud and misrepresentation, as the mini bottles of the alcoholic beverage dont actually contain whiskey. Although the tanker carrying diesel fuel had burned furiously for nearly two hours when fire crews moved in, the flames were still fierce and showed no sign of letting up. The Fireball Silverado has unleashed the full, street-legal potential of Chevy's 5.3L V-8, adding an extra 195 horsepower and 117 lb-ft of torque. It took fire crews about 10 minutes to douse the flames when they attacked it. Both are major routes into and out of Phoenix from the south.įirefighters were hampered by a lack of water along the freeway and had to bring in water trucks and firefighting foam to attack the flames, McDonald said. The freeway was closed in both directions from U.S. on westbound I-10 and snarled freeway traffic across the suburbs south of Phoenix. The driver of the petroleum tanker was shaken up but uninjured and got out on his own, Phoenix Fire Department spokesman Capt. The driver of the milk truck was killed in the intense fire that sent flames skyward and black smoke hundreds of feet into the air. The crash happened when a milk tanker rear-ended another tanker truck carrying 7,700 gallons of diesel gas byproduct and caught fire, Graves said. The evacuation orders were lifted about two hours after the crash after firefighters finally were able to move in and douse the flames. Horizon Community Learning Center, a K-12 charter school on the west side of the freeway, was closed for the day and students were sent home. Therefore, you need to look for ways in which your wording sounds. Braeunigs blood-alcohol level tested at 0.16 percent, twice. The last thing you want to be labeled as is a liar, such as in the case of Fireball Cinnamon. ![]() The Phoenix Fire Department asked residents on the west side of the freeway to stay in their homes.
