![]() Įarly in 1869, however, settlers began to cross the Verdigris River, "at first under protest of the Indians, but the immense throng of settlers soon made all protests futile." Montgomery County was surveyed and organized in 1869 the governor appointed commissioners June 3. Like the Osages, the Bunkers thought they were beyond the boundaries of civilization. In 1867 Frank and Fred Bunker established a primitive cattle camp on the west side of the Verdigris south of the confluence. From the west the Elk River joins the Verdigris at a confluence slightly northwest of the geographical center of the county. The Verdigris flows from north to south through the center of Montgomery County. įor a brief time, the Osages attempted to maintain a boundary at the Verdigris River. This treaty conceded white settlement on land in the eastern part of what is now Montgomery County. As early as 1866, the Osages were forced to cede tracts at the eastern and northern edges of the reservation. After the Civil War ended, the Osage lands were coveted as the largest and last reserve of good land in the eastern part of the state. The reservation had been established in 1825. When Kansas was admitted to the Union as a state in 1861, the Osage Indian reservation occupied a large tract of land near the southern border. ![]() It was named in honor of Richard Montgomery, an American Revolutionary War general killed in 1775 while attempting to capture Quebec City, in Canada, after successfully capturing two forts and the city of Montreal. Montgomery County was established on February 26, 1867. In 1854, the Kansas Territory was organized, then in 1861 Kansas became the 34th U.S. In 1803, most of the land for modern day Kansas was acquired by the United States from France as part of the 828,000 square mile Louisiana Purchase for 2.83 cents per acre. In 1802, Spain returned most of the land to France, but keeping title to about 7,500 square miles. ![]() ![]() In 1762, after the French and Indian War, France secretly ceded New France to Spain, per the Treaty of Fontainebleau. From the 16th century to 18th century, the Kingdom of France claimed ownership of large parts of North America.

![]() I’ll press on over the weekend and hopefully get it reviewed as soon as possible. So, it’s still Ninja Gaiden 2, but it’s a tweaked, revised and ultimately probably better game for all the changes made – whether or not it’s worth it for owners of the Xbox 360 original depends on how much you value the new features (I traded in my 360 copy last week in preparation). I’m reserving judgement until I’ve played through the entire game, but as a First Level Sigma 2 is exactly what I thought it would be – there’s a pretty lengthy install (which set my ‘time played’ statistic at just over 15 minutes before I even picked up the controller) although there’s a comic-book based prologue whilst you wait, but that’s really about it apart from some odd pauses when you pick anything up. Other tweaks include a camera reset button, which helps with the game’s erratic camera somewhat, and that SixAxis bounce we revealed some time back. Sigma 2 is now a far better game because there’s much more focus on the action and the fighting, something the series has always excelled at – the rhythmic block, dodge, strike tempo is a powerfully rewarding one once mastered and now that there’s more emphasis on fighting it’s even more fun to play. The new areas that I’ve seen so far haven’t exactly impressed, but some of the slower, badly paced sections present in the original appear to have been removed, or at least shifted to somewhere else, so the game flows a little better. ![]() I’ve only spent a couple of hours so far with the game and thus haven’t tested this extensively, but it’s a welcome feature as the missions get quite tough. Visually it’s about the same, although there’s now slowdown in places and screen tearing is evident in seemingly untaxing areas, which is really odd, but there’s offline and online co-operative mode which is actually really cool – if you’ve got a like minded friend then the online play is slick and apparently rather impressive, although offline the other character is PS3-controlled, you can’t do this locally. Make sure youre not charging up right at the very edge for the fish or theyll grab you. Use Scythe UT to milk karma from the spider bots at the first and the Giant Fish. In this collection, the three titles from the series which are included are: NINJA GAIDEN Sigma (released in 2007), NINJA GAIDEN Sigma 2 (released in 2009), and NINJA GAIDEN 3: Razor’s Edge (released in 2012). ![]() More a ‘director’s cut’ than a true expansion over the 360 original, and actually suffers in a couple of areas too: there’s almost no bloodshed and gore for starters – for some reason it’s been dialed right back making it feel like you’re chopping the limbs off aliens, not ninjas. For me, its more of a challenge to not get master ninja rank then it is to get it. The Ninja Gaiden series is respected and beloved across the entire gaming world, and has sold 6.8 million units in total.

Filter Master of the Secret Arts Obtained all trophies. Well ,the PS3 version now features Ayane and Momiji (from the DS Ninja Gaiden game) as playable characters, an online co-op mode, Trophies and a few new bosses thrown in and amongst the regular game. Here is the full list of all 41 Ninja Gaiden 2 trophies - there are 26 bronze, 10 silver, 4 gold and 1 platinum. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The situation to me was very reminiscent of the Tim “Ripper” Owens era of Judas Priest, where a fan of the band becomes the singer of said band. Bolan, Hill, and Sabo all looked elated to be playing these songs for their fans. The band hit the stage to the pummeling rhythm of “Slave to the Grind.” Grönwall raced from one side of the stage to the other, without missing a note. On Saturday night, Grönwall wasted no time staking his claim to the stage. Singles “The Gang’s All Here” and “Time Bomb” sound like they could have come from 1991’s “Slave to the Grind” or 1995’s “Subuman rACE.” The band itself, including longtime drummer Rob Hammersmith, seemed to be rejuvenated by this new addition. The 35-year-old Swedish import seemed to have injected life back into the band. Skid Row released a new record last year entitled “The Gang’s All Here” with their new singer Erik Grönwall. When I finally bit the bullet and saw Journey last year, Pineda won me over by the second verse of the opening song. For years I refused to go see Journey in concert even though I heard how amazing Arniel Pineda is. There are different schools of thought on replacement singers. The show was good, and Sollinger was a decent singer, but I felt that something was missing. I caught them once with singer Johnny Sollinger. Over the years the band has recorded and toured with a number of different singers. I would still listen to the first few albums from time to time but I wasn’t the die-hard fan that I had once been. Somewhere along the way, my music tastes changed and I lost track of Skid Row. Some band in-fighting led to Bach and Affuso leaving the band. It is still in my top ten concerts of all time. It was my first exposure to Pantera and it blew me away. Can you imagine the confidence it takes to bring a Vulgar Display of Power-era Pantera out as your opening act? I caught this show at RPI Fieldhouse. A band that had once been unfairly lumped in with the “hair-metal” bands of the same era brought Soundgarden and Pantera out as openers for the tour. They also gambled with their headlining tour. “Slave to the Grind” became the first heavy metal album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 in the Nielsen Soundscan era. Skid Row took a hard turn with “Slave to the Grind.” The drums were heavier, the riffs flashier. Most bands would keep the same winning formula for their sophomore album. I was able to catch them at Glens Falls Civic Center opening for Aerosmith on the “Pump” tour. They followed up “Youth Gone Wild” with a pair of power ballads, “18 and Life” and “I Remember You” both of which were in heavy rotation on MTV. Sebastian Bach had a voice unmatched in rock at that time. Topping it off was a twenty year old Canadian singer with an operatic vocal range. This band had it all, from the hard driving rhythm section of Rob Affuso on drums and Rachel Bolan on bass to the dual guitar attack of Dave “Snake” Sabo and Scotti Hill. Lead single “Youth Gone Wild” was everywhere that year. Their eponymous debut record dropped in January of 1989. ![]() I first got turned onto Skid Row in 1989 by my much cooler older sister. ![]() ![]() ![]() We couldn’t find any evidence that this is where it gets its name, but if you took the Chevron Corporation logo and flipped it upside-down, that’s what a chevron mustache looks like. It follows the shape of the upper lip, resulting in a natural mustache that has a slight upside-down V shape. The chevron mustache is the quintessential mustache style. They don’t require the use of Mustache Wax or other styling aids. Natural mustache styles are the easiest, and generally fastest to grow. We believe the mustache deserves more than just lip service, so after countless hours of research, we’ve narrowed it down to what we believe are 17 unique mustache styles. There are a lot of mislabeled mustaches on the internet, and that doesn’t cut it for us. Note: When it comes to identifying mustache styles, it’s pretty much the wild west out there - there’s no law, no order. It’s a long story, for another blog.īut, time heals all wounds, and in 2023, mustaches are back in a big way, possibly surpassing beards as the coolest facial hair style.īut before you join the mustachioed ranks, let’s get you squared away with finding a mustache style that works for you. The truth is, the mustache’s fall from grace is a little deeper than that. Add to that a couple of creeps and a few pornstars, and well, you know the rest. Then your dad grew one, and suddenly the mustache was nothing more than Old Milwaukee and cheese curds. Teddy Roosevelt took a bullet while delivering a speech, dusted himself off, and finished the speech - while wearing one hell of a mustache! Colonel Joshua Chamberlain wore a walrus mustache that was so long it flapped in the wind as he yelled, “ bayonet!” and held the Union flank at Gettysburg. There’s always been a spirit of rebellion behind mustaches - the exception being its peak popularity in the 1980s when the mustache was as commonplace as iPhones are today. Look, we love beards at Beardbrand, but the mustache is damn cool. ![]() ![]() After that, decorate your house more beautiful and collect items.

The cover can be installed yourself and can easily rotate to set the ideal bathwater depth and prevent spillage and flooding. In this case, you can install an overflow drain cover that has a hole on one side that allows water to exit the overflow hole in the tub and you can have more inches of water. It is possible that a bathtub overflow drain is not positioned correctly, for instance, too low. As mentioned, the drain may still be clogged and is a waste of water. Thus, do not solely rely on the overflow to drain any excess water. They do drain directly into the tub’s main drain pipe, but if there are any clogs, it will affect the main pipe which will subsequently affect the overflow drain. The overflow drain system will work most efficiently when the pipe system is de-clogged to prevent spillage onto the floor. The overflow does not prevent the flow of water as it does not have a mechanism to stop it, so water will be continuously drained when it reaches that level. The overflow drain’s design is to prevent an overflow before it happens, but it is best to not let it get that far as it is a waste of precious water. This is ideal if you do not want exposed pipes, as the overflow channel is now in the tub’s inner wall and less detectable. Along the interior of the bathtub is an opening that diverts extra water between the walls, allowing excess water to drain. ![]() This style of overflow drain has the same design as a sink overflow. In this instance, a hole is made into the tub and fitted with a drain that installs on the inside and outside walls where it collects any excess water, and allows it to flow down the tub drain. There are two primary types of overflow drains available: A traditional overflow and an integral overflow. With a well-functioning overflow drain, excess water will flow out the overflow hole, through the pipe and into the drain so as not to cause any damage to your bathroom or anything under or around the tub. The water that enters the overflow hole, goes down a pipe which is connected to the tub floor drain. The two drains are connected by several tubes that go from the bathtub and merge into one main pipe line. The overflow component is located several inches under the rim of the tub. Usually the drain is situated at the bottom of the bathtub. The overflow drain consists of two basic parts: The overflow drain and the overflow trap. Let us take a look at the anatomy of an overflow drain as well as how it works. The reason for its location is to allow water to rise to a level where most of your body can be submerged under water. The bathtub overflow can be found a few inches below the rim of the tub. That’s why in this article we hope to help you learn everything you need to know about bathtub overflow drains so you can be prepared. Even if you try to soak everything up, mold can grow in areas that still remain damp. This can damage the floor, baseboards, vanity, cupboards or anything that is in the bathroom. If the tub does not have an overflow drain, water can spill everywhere. ![]() If you have experienced an overflow in the past, you will know that it is quite disastrous as it causes a mess and damage. It is very likely that you can turn on the faucet and continue with another task while the bath fills, only to forget about it later. The drain collects the water which prevents it from overflowing should you accidentally leave the bathroom or tub faucet on. The purpose of an overflow drain, such as the one in your bathtub, is to collect excess water before it overflows. ![]() ![]() ![]() Visit the Security Center in the Mobile Banking app or Online Banking today to see what your security meter will tell you.

Probably the best f-ed up twist ending on the list, this film starts out with a guy waking up in a suitcase on a rooftop after years of mysterious captivity. I’ve seen a couple people put this crime thriller starring Kevin Spacey on “Worst Twist Endings” lists, but those people are just idiots wanting to sound smarter and more sophisticated than everyone else. Not only is the movie extremely good and offers a first glimpse at the exceptional acting talent stored within Norton, but as it turns out, Norton’s character was faking split personality the entire time.Ĭonsidered the best twist ending by many people, it was hard to put this so far down at #3. Not only is it an amazingly good twist ending, but it also saves the movie from being just a decent ghost story – and, on a second viewing, Shyalaman throws the truth in your face repeatedly.Įd Norton jumped into his career in a big way with this courtroom thriller, where Richard Gere comes to the defense of a seemingly innocent and kind altar boy accused of brutally murdering a priest. And then – bam! Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time. The movie was pretty decent but didn’t have much of a plot, and I was wondering where the movie was going to go.
