Instead, browse our new inventory online. Need something specifically built for your small or large business? We also sell plenty of GMC Savanna cargo vans. Each offers more hauling and towing ability than its preceding model, providing you plenty of choice for work or play.

![]() ![]() As I mentioned, it’s not the best looking set in some ways, but does a really nice job of capturing this moment in the film.While it has been years since the hype of Star Wars has hit the heights of the last twelve months, it is safe to say that the stories from a galaxy far, far away have been entertaining the masses for nearly forty years and although tie-in merchandise has always been popular, LEGO has done amazing things over the last decade for the Jedi. The price ratio isn’t bad and there is a lot of playability here for kids. I liked the double wide stairs leading up to the platform and thought the trans-orange tiles and studs as safety-lighting (or ominous lighting) was a nice touch on an otherwise fairly plain-looking set. The picture on the box has Han Solo placed on it, so people are assuming it’s the torture device seen in the movie, but there is no real sign of what it’s meant for. It’s another knob/handle that lifts a 2×4 plate from horizontal to vertical. The 3rd play feature seems to have everyone confused. This works nicely as it’s just a brick arm sliding up a slot to raise a platform, and then you rotate the arm over to lock it at the top. 1 is a simple lift mechanism with a lock, for bringing people up to the top of the chamber. There are 2 other very simple play features in the set. Why only half? The way the feature described above works requires the frozen form to come down parallel to the ground/table and it extends out a fair way, so you couldn’t create a full octagon. The rest of the set is pretty simple, forming 1/2 of the octagonal platform from the movie. But once assembled, it’s been solid for me although others have commented on issues. Getting the far end of the bright yellow pin into the hole that connects to the bottom of the device was trick, it feels about a 1/4″ too short. I think that part is over-built and a bit tricky to work with, or I did something wrong. Pulling and turning the knob will lower the center of the set while rotating the carbon platform 180 degrees to reveal either Han Solo or the frozen version. This is accomplished with a fairly intricate build which leaves you with a knob on the outer back of the set. Lots of other reviews have commented on this – it’s the “cool” part where you pull and twist a rod to “freeze” Han Solo. ![]() You build about 2 of the 4 sections from that bag including the central chamber of the set, which is also the biggest play feature. Like I said, 2 bags with the bulk of the set being in the first one. Until you reach nearly the end of the first of the 2 bags, not much more than a hinge is holding some parts together. I tried building the Carbon-Freezing Chamber in my hands while watching TV and it was challenging through the beginning because it’s construction was a bit flimsy at first. There’s one printed 2×2 tile for the chamber’s control panel, but otherwise no decorations in this set. The only other thing to note about this set is that there are no stickers. I’ve seen these in a couple of sets and think they’re a pretty ingenious way of creating fixed angles. There’s a lot of trans-orange 1×1 studs and trans-orange 1×2 tiles and 4 of the A-frame shaped wedge pieces shown to the right. The set itself has very few really interesting pieces. On the reverse, you can install the Han Solo minifigure and he fits in quite snuggly, and this is needed for one of the main play features. The carbon-frozen Han Solo apparently isn’t new either, but is still nicely and intricately designed. The Ugnaught is new and has a large single piece head and hair. All 3 of the traditional figures are well designed with Boba Fett and Han Solo being almost identical to those we’ve seen before. The optional 4th member is the frozen version of Han Solo. I don’t consider it a minifigure per se, but some do. There’s the Ugnaught required to run the carbon-freezing equipment, Boba Fett of course and poor Han Solo. There are 3 minifigures, or 4 depending on how you count. I paid $29.99 CDN minus a discount so the price to piece ratio isn’t bad at all. This set is generally smaller than some sets (231 pieces) and less expensive at $24.99 US. ![]() Some parts are great, others a little odd, but overall I like this set more than I thought, based on other reviews. I picked up the Carbon-Freezing Chamber (75137) set this weekend from one of my local LEGO Stores this weekend because I’ve been a huge Star Wars (The Empire Strikes Back in this case) fan from the day I saw it way back in 1977 and thought it was an interesting little set, and I wasn’t disappointed. ![]() ![]() Therefore, we recommend you do a couple things first before you actually remove the game from your Windows 10 PC.įirst of all, you should close the launcher as an administrator.

![]() ![]() ![]() That information then helps the consultant narrow down your best foundation shade. ![]() How it works: the makeup artist presses a tool to a few spots on your face, such as your chin and forehead, and the system identifies your skin tone. Both Sephora and Estée Lauder (at select counters) use technology to help customers narrow their shade selections down to a few options. It's worth taking the extra time to use a foundation-matching tool. The differences were subtle, but it was clear which ones actually melted into my skin when compared.Ĥ. I usually tested two out of the three options on my full face. If we couldn't agree, we'd walk to the window-or in the case of the Make Up for Ever studio, to a light source that mimicked daylight-for a second check. At that point, we studied the options in a handheld mirror and decided which seemed the most natural on me. Once we identified my "overtone," or the intensity of my pigment, we moved onto my "undertone," or the shade that was peeking through. At MAC, for instance, my artist referred to the crook of my neck, while everywhere else, they took my entire face into consideration. Interestingly, everyone had a slightly different way of determining my shade. After assessing my makeup-free skin, each expert swiped three shade options from that type of formula onto my lower cheek toward my jawline. And that's when the consultation really began. Hearing that I'm a tinted moisturizer fiend who applies her makeup while walking from room to room helped the experts hone in on formulas with light-to-medium coverage. Everywhere I went, I was asked for my preferred foundation formula. And it's always best to test them in natural light. You should test several shades, ideally on the lower part of your cheek. My starting point: Me, without foundation on. My mission: to make sense of the ins and outs And so I did, visiting five beauty boutiques and counters in NYC including the Make Up for Ever Pro Studio, the MAC Makeup Studio, the Estée Lauder counter at Saks Fifth Avenue and Sephora and Ulta in Maywood, New Jersey. But since foundation is one of the best makeup inventions of all time, I decided it was finally time to seek expert help. What looks like a good match in the bottle often shows up completely different on your skin, and after a few disappointments, it seems easier to skip it entirely. Deciding on a foundation formula is one thing-just pick from sheer, medium, or full coverage-but shade selection is a whole other process. But I also know I'm not alone in my confusion either. After a few tentative swipes on their hands, it's clear to everyone that I don't know what I'm doing. I'm also useless to my foundation-seeking friends, from the palest to the darkest, who've asked for my help. Confession: I've been writing about beauty for years and yet I couldn't point to my foundation shade on a wall if you paid me. ![]() ![]() ![]() Once the coffins have been opened and the hordes dealt with, proceed down to the fourth floor. With each coffin opened, Lucian will be faced with a horde of skeletons, alongside a skeletal lord, skeletal guardian or a ghoul. In order to open the coffin, the 4 coffins on the raised levels on this floor must be opened. On the third floor the entrance down is in the right hand central coffin, which is locked. Enter the room in the northwest corner and go down the stairwell, dealing with the skeletons along the way (including a skeletal lord in the room with the stairwell). Head down the stairwell and to the northwest of the second floor. In here are three pentagrams upon which a magic orb must be placed, opening the portal to access the room in the north eastern corner. After speaking with them continue through the passage and the door to the north. ![]() Upon reaching the passage immediately south of the room with the plinth, Lucian will meet Smiruk and his group of orcs who are seeking the magic axe, Slasher. As Lucian travels through the catacombs he will encounter hostile skeletal warriors and skeletal archers. Traverse the halls and rooms collecting the magic orbs to activiate the portal in the south eastern room. To proceed one must unlock the door on the eastern wall, which is opened by the lever next to the doorway Lucian just passed through. on a plinth surrounded by candles a note from Mardaneus can be found, warning of the perils of the catacombs. Upon entering the catacombs, head through the door on the southern wall. This will result in the statue being lifted off its base and Lanilor will appear again, thanking Lucian for freeing him and giving him a teleporter pyramid. Head east to the statue with 4 smaller dragon statues around and point them north. Once Lanilor has been freed, he will mention some catacombs underneath Aleroth. Unlock the Entrance to the catacombs beneath Aleroth After the cutscene, speak to Lanilor who will ask to be freed from his icy prison. This is the first quest in the game, it is acquired by speaking to Joram in his house, where Lucian wakes up.Īfter talking to Joram head southwest and watch the cutscene where Mardaneus freezes Lanilor. ![]() Escape the skeletons by going out of the room and talking to Mardaneus.Pull the northeast lever in the center room.Go down to the last level of the catacombs.Open the entrance to the catacombs by pointing the four dragon statues in the center of town to the north.Head to Mardaneous' house to watch the cutscene.2.1 Unlock the Entrance to the catacombs beneath Aleroth.Additionally if one chose to travel down to the pyramid, they can elect to walk back out. Collect the pyramid and either use it to teleport back out to the location of the first pyramid, or if this not an option, use the portal stone outside of the room to the west to teleport to Mardaneus' Cellar. Regardless of the route to the stone one takes, they will encounter several skeletons and skeletal archers in the room. Alternatively one can travel down to the floor where the pyramid is located. At this stage one can either drop the pyramid or select it again to transport directly to the second pyramid. Upon Lanilor giving Lucian the first teleporter pyramid, one will be able to teleport directly to the second teleporter pyramid, located in the Aleroth catacombs.Īttempting to do so with the pyramid in the inventory will prompt the Hero to state that "They should drop it if they wish to return here". Teleporter pyramid Find the Second Teleporter Pyramid is a quest in Divine Divinity. ![]() ![]() ![]() It was such a pleasure to slip back into my comfort zone! I also took advantage of our presence in the European Union to finally purchase a jigsaw puzzle of Gaudi’s “El Capricho” house in Comillas, Spain that I had been coveting since 2019, thereby saving $35 on postage.ĭuring this visit, my attempts at conversation were less successful than previously, with people I spoke with switching to English. ![]() I did get to speak some Spanish during our trip, for example with a couple from Colombia who were staying at our hotel in Bologna. But overall, Spanish was more of a help than a hindrance. For example, in Spanish andar and caminar both mean ‘to walk,’ but in Italian andare means ‘to go.’ As another example, I kept confusing Italian cinque ‘five’ with Spanish quince ‘fifteen’. Like other Spanish speakers (I suppose), I found that Spanish occasionally tripped me up when I was trying to speak Italian. This tells us that the use of ‘to go’ as a future auxiliary, which Spanish and English speakers take for granted, must not have been uniformly present in Vulgar Latin. va parlar ‘He/she spoke’ - literally, ‘he/she went and spoke’. Catalan doesn’t have a periphrastic future either, and in fact uses the verb anar ‘to go’ to form a periphrastic past, e.g. comeré ‘I will eat’) or, as in English, use the verb ‘to go’ as an auxiliary (e.g. ![]() In Spanish and French you can either use the future tense conjugation (e.g. I also learned that Italian, unlike Spanish or French, does not have a periphrastic future tense. Also, both Italian and French use two different auxiliaries (‘to have’ and ‘to be’) to form the periphrastic past tense, and the past participle (like eaten in I have eaten) agrees with the verb’s subject or object in a rule-governed but confusing way. Like French, Italian has mostly abandoned the simple past (like I ate) in favor of the periphrastic past (like I have eaten), a transformation that may be underway with Spanish in Spain. What struck me most about Italian the second time around was the similarity between its past tense and that of French. My favorite story was about a lonely yellow sock with a green stripe whose owner matches him with a lonely green sock with a yellow stripe, and wears them all over the world. This time, I worked through Language Transfer’s Introduction to Italian course, which I recommend 100%! I also bought a short grammar reference book and an adorable book of short Italian stories for beginners, which I devoured. I managed to have some respectable conversations with hotel receptionists and restaurant servers. (It’s hard for me to sleep on an airplane, so I decided to use the time productively.) Given my Spanish, my French, and a year of college Latin, I found Italian easy to pick up. The first time we went to Italy, I worked through the first 100 or so pages of a standard Italian grammar workbook on the plane ride over. My mother used to tell me about the mosaics, so I had her very much in my thoughts while we were there. We spent one day in Milan, three in Florence, and four in Bologna, including a day trip to Ravenna to see the mosaics. I recently returned from a short visit to Italy with my husband. ![]() ![]() ![]() Spokeo is similar to Pipl, but offers less information for free.

Hopefully you see the Important role at the gallbladder plays in optimal physiology. Contrary to conventional wisdom, a gallstone-laden gallbladder does not need to be removed in order to resolve symptoms. Sometimes, individuals feel better by flushing gallstones from the gallbladder. Compounds including beet root, taurine, phosphatidylcholine, lemon, peppermint, and vitamin C have all been shown to reduce the repercussions of gallstones as well as shrinking and dissolving them. If you are experiencing gallbladder symptoms or have known gallstones, it is important to facilitate the proper gallbladder function. Our doctors check many of these, especially if biliary issues are suspected, on our routine functional and integrative lab testing. Some of these include high ALT, AST, bilirubin, LDH, GGT, ALP, and 5ʹ-nucleotidase. ![]() There are various markers on blood work that can indicate poor gallbladder function, liver impairment, and risk factors for gallstones. While we usually recommend specific herbs and nutrients to shrink larger gallstones before a flush, imaging can be helpful and understanding gallstone status and monitoring progress in their removal.
