The Old Farmer's Almanac says: "It is believed that this Full Moon came to be called the Full Hunter's Moon because it signalled the time to go hunting in preparation for the cold winter ahead."

Once you click the X icon, the uninstallation of GPG Suite will be handled immediately, and there is no need to empty the Trash afterwards. This tap-and-hold method is applicable for the apps installed through the App Store, and it requires OS X lion or later. Then click the “X” that appears on the left upper corner of GPG Suite to perform the uninstall. Click and hold GPG Suite icon with your mouse button until it starts to wiggle.Open up Launchpad, and type GPG Suite in the search box on the top.Option 2: Delete GPG Suite in the Launchpad Any time you change your mind and wanna undo the deletion of apps or files, just right click the item in the Trash and select Put Back option. Warming: It is important to point out that, emptying the Trash will instantly wipe off GPG Suite as well as other files you’ve thrown into the Trash, and that this act is irrevocable, so make sure you haven’t mistakenly deleted anything before emptying the Trash. In any case you cannot move GPG Suite to the Trash or empty the Trash, try holding the Option key as you choose Empty Trash from the Finder menu, or reboot your Mac and try it again later. Some apps installed using the Mac package installer will prompt you for a password when you try to move it to the Trash. Most 3rd party apps can be smoothly uninstalled in that way, but you cannot delete built-in apps by doing this. This drag-to-delete method works in all versions of Mac OS X. Right click the Trash icon and select Empty Trash option to start the uninstall.Drag GPG Suite to the Trash (or right click on it and then select Move to Trash option).Open up the Finder, click Applications on the left side, and then select GPG Suite.Option 1: Drag GPG Suite icon to the Trash If GPG Suite cannot be quit normally, you can select the app in Activity Monitor, click the large red “Quit Process” button in the left corner and click Force Quit button in the pop-up dialog. To deactivate an app, right click its icon in the dock and select Quit option (or choose GPG Suite > Quit GPG Suite on the Menu bar).Īlso, you can access the Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities/ folder), and see if there is any background process pertaining to the app. Prior to the removal of GPG Suite, you should first log into your Mac with an administrator account, and turn GPG Suite off if it is running. In this post we will discuss the following questions: (1) What is the correct way to uninstall GPG Suite? (2) How to ensure all its accompanying components are removed safely? And (3) is there a shortcut for both Mac novices and experts to take to accomplish GPG Suite removal effortlessly? Conventional Steps to Uninstall GPG Suite for Mac Even for the experienced users, they may also get lost when trying to uninstall a problematic, stubborn or even malicious application. In the latter case it is quite necessary to clean out those junk files from your Mac for complete removal.įor some novice users, they may have no idea how to remove GPG Suite in a proper way. These vestiges can be very small in size, thus leaving them alone may not affect your Mac performance, yet they can also be a large chunks of useless files that occupy a large portion of your hard drive space. However, a fact is often neglected that, even the stand-alone software may might still leave its configuration and preferences files on multiple system directories after you carry out a basic uninstall. Generally speaking, most Mac applications are separate bundles that contain the executable and any associated resources for the app, and therefore users can easily remove any unwanted software (if they are installed properly) from their Macs. In normal cases Mac users just need to simply drag and drop the target app to the Trash and then empty the Trash to perform the standard uninstallation. Uninstalling applications in macOS/Mac OS X is quite different from that in Windows operating system. Things you should know about Mac app removal: How to uninstall GPG Suite on Mac computer? If you encounter problem when trying to delete GPG Suite as well as its associated components, read through this removal tutorial and learn about how to perfectly remove any unwanted applications on your Mac.

UE4 however is under a more restrictive proprietary license, while Godot is under the incredibly flexible and permissive code license.Īnother aspect in Godot’s favor… it’s also by far the smallest code base and very modular in design from a code perspective. Unreal Engine has the source code available and you can completely build the engine from scratch, as well as being able to fix problems yourself by walking through a debug build and applying fixes. Unity trails in this regard having only select subsets of the code available. Godot is free in both regards, to price tag and license, being licensed under the MIT license. On the topic of free, we also have free as in freedom. If you’re not making money nor plan to, this obviously doesn’t matter… but the more successful your game is, the better a deal free is! Open Source With Unreal Engine you pay a fixed 5% royalty after the first $3000 dollars earned. With Unity, you pay a per seat license fee if you make over 100K a year. Yes, you can start for free with both Unity and Unreal Engine, but both ultimately have a price tag. Obviously, the lack of a price tag is one of the most obvious features of Godot. ![]() Additionally, I have a video on Unreal vs Unity in the works, so if you want to decide which of those engines to use, stay tuned for that.

However, today, in contradiction to “the poor cuisine” of the old days, Umbrian cuisine includes some of the most expensive food items in the world like black and white truffles, extra virgin olive oil, wild fennel, saffron and porcini mushrooms. Tomatoes were also a staple, grown and harvested in the summer and canned for the long winter ahead. Cured pork was another staple of this cuisine which when cured lasted throughout the cold winter months, as was game (boar, dove, hare, and venison) that was hunted and then roasted. The fundamental food in Umbria was and still is, without a doubt, bread and, it is presented in many shapes and sizes usually unsalted (due to a tax on salt imposed by the Pontificate back in 1540!). For centuries, the difficult conditions of life demanded the use of poor, inexpensive food by the lower classes and the peasants-and this is the reason why oil is preferred instead of lard, and soups are preferred instead of pasta and why days’ old bread is utilized in recipes. The simplicity of the dishes is rooted in a cultural history of poverty and agriculture, “cucina povera” (or poor cuisine). Umbrian regional cooking is sober and presents simple tastes prepared with expertise and mastery much like the Tuscan way. What you eat in the southern regions you do not find in the north and vice versa. Twenty regions to be exact and within those regions the culinary nuances of each town co-exist as well. It is important to understand that “Italian cooking” in the general sense does not truly exist – it is regional. So Marco became an expert in cooking fish and to this day some of his best dishes are these marine based recipes. Clams, mussels and other shellfish were also a delicacy. Small sized fish like seabass, giltheads and groupers were also caught and grilled. Marco’s mother had to invent hundreds of way of cooking octopus and squid as that was what was most abundant in those days. The men (his father, uncles and the sons) would go out in the early morning and fish all day with a mask, lance, and net. Marco’s family lived in Rome and on the nearby seaside so their cuisine and diet was based on fish. It is simply that threesome of food, wine, and desserts that defines the most vivid and happy memories for me. Most memories are photographic they say but as I write these words I realize that my memories are linked more to smells and tastes rather than to visual ones. ![]() And the oh sweet smell of sugary cookies and spongy soft chocolate cakes lingers in my culinary memory as well. To this day when it snows, I still say “time for polenta.” My mother would make strudels and spiced cookies whose perfume permeated the entire house. The smell of my father’s lush tomato sauce stewed with fennel spiced sausages and pork ribs to be eventually poured on that golden colored corn mush is forever imprinted in my taste buds’ memory bank. On cold snowy days in Chicago my father would come home and say “Polenta is in the air!” (and that happened often in the Windy City). My mother, who hails from the Trieste area of Italy (near the Austro-Hungarian and Croatian borders), and my father, who comes from Rome, had two completely different culinary upbringings but both had solutions for any time of the year based on what was available seasonally. My parents also loved to cook using regional recipes coming from both northern and central Italy, which were quite diverse regions in terms of culinary traditions. ![]() I would very seriously tell her the whole list but when she asked to try one, I would just giggle and tell her they had all been devoured and not one was left! Today baking brings back so many memories and scents much like Marcel Proust’s “A Remembrance of Things Past” and his deliciously smelling madeleines, which for me translates to “tozzetti” or the classic biscotto. So much so that when my mother came to pick me up from grandma’s house, she would ask me what I had baked with Nonna. And I mean immediately out of the oven steaming hot. As a little girl, I used to spending my weekends with my Nonna (grandmother) who loved to bake and eat her sweet creations immediately. I have always had a deep passion for cooking especially baking. For me, cooking and baking evoke sweet memories of warm comfy homes, steaming ovens, big pots boiling over, daily family meals and extraordinary holiday feasts spent together with the entire family – all 30 of them (along with lots of arguing in the kitchen!). ![]() ![]() ![]() However, this is still a very rare item nevertheless and arguably the most sought-after of the rarest items in World of Warcraft Classic given the extreme amount of effort needed to craft it. Hence, why it’s only at number 10 on our list.

That way, you can be sure that you’ll find a little something for everybody here. But since some of those aren’t very useful unless you’re playing a certain class or spec, we figured we should spice things up by also adding a few rare mounts and some other interesting items into the mix. Most of the rarest items and World of Warcraft Classic are weapons and other pieces of gear. If you’re one of those players, you came to the right place because we’ve put together a list of the rarest WoW Classic items, complete with their location and drop chance (where applicable). And yet, that’s exactly why so many players go out of their way to try and get their hands on them. And by lucky I mean you can farm these items for months on end without being able to acquire them. World of Warcraft Classic has a ton of rare items that you’re unlikely to see unless you’re very lucky. ![]() ![]() ![]() The game introduces four new playable characters: Amara, a "Siren" who summons ethereal fists Moze, a young "Gunner" who rides the mecha Iron Bear Zane, an "Operative" with a variety of gadgets and FL4K, a robot "Beastmaster" who summons creatures to aid in fights. As the player gains level, they gain skill points to allocate across a skill tree. Players can also gain these items by defeating enemies throughout the game. Players, either playing alone or in parties of up to four people, make a character from one of the four classes available, and take on various missions given out by non-playable characters (NPCs) and at bounty boards to gain experience, in-game monetary rewards, and reward items.

TypeStyler, the venerable graphic text-manipulation app, makes it easy for graphic designers of all skill levels to quickly create eye-catching graphic headlines, logos, posters/flyers and other designs. There you have it - a quick and easy way to create an elegant flourish! Use this to refine the curve by selecting it and the 3 and again using the Punch Out tool from TypeStyler’s Object menu (or Illustrator’s Subtract from Shape Area). In this case, it’s simply an oval with the top chopped off. The final step is to smooth out the junction of the glyph and its flourish.Īn accomplished vector artist would use the path editing tools to adjust each curve by hand.Īn easier way, however, is to make a custom shape to trim the curve - rather like a fancy cookie cutter or how an artist uses a French curve. Position our flourish element over the 3, then select all three parts and choose Unite (or “Add to Shape”) to combine the objects, attaching the flourish to create one vector graphic. This is the “Unite” option in TypeStyler (or “Add to Shape” mode in Illustrator). But the easier way is by adding to the piece with a oval-shaped object, and then joining them, using the path combination tools. You can do this with the Direct Selection tool (the white arrow). Make sure to extend your tail element so it can overlap the area you wish to connect it to on the 3. Use another oval to Punch Out and chop off the unwanted bottom part of the 3. (In Illustrator this tool is called “Subtract from Shape Area” or the “Minus Back” Pathfinder tool.) Next, I chopped off the unneeded part of the ampersand glyph by creating an oval object that covered the unneeded path parts, selecting the two objects and then choosing Punch Out from TypeStyler’s Object menu. In Illustrator, they’re in the Pathfinder tab.įirst, I flipped the glyph horizontally and slightly rotated it to get it into the proper position needed to attach it to the bottom of the 3. These “Path Magic tools” are available in TypeStyler’s Object menu. The keys tools needed for isolating and attaching the tail to the 3 are the various path combination features. In TypeStyler, I simply grew this glyph to the appropriate size using the Glyph tool. Perusing the Zapfino glyphs, I saw that Glyph ID 1126, an alternate ampersand, had a tail that was very close to what I needed.ĭepending on which program you use, you may have to enter this as text and then choose “Create Outlines” to get your vector element. I used TypeStyler’s Glyph tool but there are many other similar glyph browsers, such as Apple’s Font Book.Ī good source of fancy flourishes is the Zapfino font.

I didn’t find any suitable candidates in the Mona Lisa font used to make the 2013 text. ![]() The first step was to find an existing flourish that’s close to my needs. The only challenging element was the flourish attached to the 3 of 2013. And the musicians’ silhouettes graphic was a piece of cake using Photoshop’s Magic Wand tool, and then inverting them and tinting them gold. Obviously, making the text elements for “THE JAMMYS” was easy to accomplish. This was a great night of music, reminiscent of The Last Waltz * concert by The Band *, so I decided to use that as my inspiration. Recently, I had to design the cover for a DVD that documented this year’s local musicians reunion banquet, called The Jammys 2013. Search for “free type flourishes” - You may get lucky and find exactly the element you need, ready to use.īut my favorite way to make eye-catching flourishes is to borrow suitable pieces from font glyphs and trim and modify them to be just what is needed.
