![]() I want to do a complete new fresh installation long time ago. After many years running and installation, many software were installed on the computer and the Mac was terribly slow. ![]() I happen to have a Mac at home that indeed needs a complete refresh. I will see whether Microsoft Office 2011 works or not in the new macOs High Sierra. Anyway, all applications in the Office for Mac 2011 suite are reached the end of support on Oct. ![]() So if running into issue in Word and Excel, don’t call Microsoft support. But the wording does not say the Office 2011 is not going to run on High Sierra. Interestingly, it sounds like that users of Office 2011 will be on their own if they continue to use Office 2011 on High Sierra. Refer to the Microsoft Support Lifecycle for more information. As a reminder, after that date there will be no new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options or technical content updates. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and Lync have not been tested on macOS 10.13 High Sierra, and no formal support for this configuration will be provided.Īll applications in the Office for Mac 2011 suite* are reaching end of support on October 10th, 2017. I checked out Microsoft Office Support page, it has the following statement: But if I can keep using my paid Office 2011 on my home Mac, it would be perfect. Anyway my company laptop will have Office 2016 subscription. I don’t see paying annual subscription to new Office 2016 makes sense to me. Anyway, my use of Word and Excel at home is very basic, just some simple Word and Excel documents. Similarly, if Microsoft Office 2011 is not working at all on macOS High Sierra, I will switch to Apple’s Pages and Numbers, or Google Docs. Although I missed some nice features from Parallel, VirtualBox meets all of my requirements for my VM and it is free. ![]() Luckily, I switched to VirtualBox when Parallel did the first announcement and completely get rid of Parallel since then. If I remember correctly, Parallel has done the same trick almost every time a new Mac OS is released since then. Forgot from which version of new Mac OS release, Parallel announced the old version Parallel software would not work on the new MacOS and existing customers must pay extra fee to upgrade to new version if want to continue to use Parallel on the new Mac OS. I used to have Parallel software for my VMs on Mac many years ago and it worked great. If this is the case, It would hesitate to upgrade my Macs to the new version: High Sierra. While many other programs are still supported and running on macOS High Sierra, it looks bad if Office 2011 is not working in High Sierra, especially Word and Excel are some of the most popular applications people used daily. I understand the company may want to get more revenue from selling Office 2016 to existing customers. Microsoft announced that the company is no longer to support Office 2011 on macOS High Sierra and users should switch to Office 2016. There was an important note about Office 2011 caught my attention. Interesting, I didn’t know I can view site in writer mode before! There are also some improvements in video and icloud experience, which I don’t really care. The new Safari also has a feature to allow you to view sites in Reader mode. Safari in this version not only becomes much faster (Apple claims it is the fastest desktop browser, I am not sure about this), but also has a feature to stop the most annoying feature on the web: autoplay videos. Important enhancements in the APFS include faster speed in file copy, built-in encryption, crash-safe protections. Instead of using HFS+ file system, a new file system, Apple File System (APFS), was introduced. There are some nice changes in the new OS. The latest version of Mac OS is called macOS High Sierra.

So the greater the diversity of what you eat, or the more fascinating the history – the more you have to talk about – and true Foodies seek that out more than others.” Those things are all to be discussed, explored, and passed on as part of enjoying any meal. Maybe not with their mouth full, but they talk about the experience of what they’re eating, how it’s cooked, who cooked it, the history of the dish, and more. “Foodies are people that talk while they’re eating. Here are some of the easily digestible definitions and perceptions of the term “foodie” that I received: In pondering this, I decided to query applicable industry purveyors who would have an interesting and presumably on-point perspective of the word. Had I aptly conveyed the intended sentiments that most associate with the word “foodie”-a moniker I wear with much pride? ![]() I was not at all prepared to answer this question so specifically, but was relatively satisfied with my on-the-fly answer that duly conveyed how I personally identify with the word “foodie.” The question weighed on me however, as I later wondered if I had defined it correctly in a universal sense. Foodies don’t just eat a meal, they revel in it and regard all facets of the dish in the process: the ingredients used as well as how and where they were sourced, the preparation (and skill related thereto), taste, texture, smell and presentation.” My answer was this: “For a foodie, eating is more than an act…it’s an experience. To this, I replied with my own personal off-the-cuff definition of a foodie relative to why I consider myself one and what it generally means to me. The person I was speaking to looked at me quizzically, and asked “what makes someone a foodie…doesn’t everyone like food?” I was recently immersed in casual conversation at a social function and referred to myself as a “foodie”. ![]() This movie isn't very gory or overly grotesque either, it has a minimal amount of blood/gore, and some violent images, but not a whole whole lot, which it good and a wise decision by the filmmakers, because if a scary movie is too gory or overly disturbing, then it can be distracting from the plot. The opening of the film is also very effective in its attempt to be truly scary. Diana and the visuals that make her up are done very well and the horror is real here, it's not cheap or cheesily boring. There are some scenes that may even be somewhat hard to watch because of the utter creepiness. The visuals are good, the darkness and the creepy eeriness effect of a lot of scenes work very well. Every actor did their job beautifully and the characters they portray are well constructed, they are not just surface level, cardboard cut out characters. It offers great thrills and also offers wonderful acting. Lights out really is a great modern horror film. While fimmaker David Sanberg has made a few films all of them limited to short movies and terror genre as Annabelle : Creation, adding a peculiar superhero movie : ¡Shazam! (2019). As David decided to expand his original short film Lights out (2013) into a feature film thanks to producer James Wan, the latter has financed and directed notorious horror movies, such as : Swamp Thing, The Curse of La Llorona, Saw saga, Annabelle: Creation, Conjuring saga, Insidious saga, Demonic, Annabelle, among others.

The only negative is they charge for parking ($5/hr) however, it’s a nice option if nothing else works. Alternatively, there’s a private lot located across the road (across from Siesta Key Marina) that has more spaces and the walk isn’t bad. There are approximately 20 spaces available at this access. Crescent Beach has its’ own parking via access #12 however, it’s a very narrow lot and is not conducive for large SUV’s or pickup trucks. Like everywhere on Siesta nowadays, parking is an issue. In some cases, parking can be found nearby (like at Access Points 10 and 13) while others (Access Points 1, 3, and 5) are best reserved for pedestrians, bike riders, and campers (yes, you can camp on some of our beaches). It’s also surrounded by numerous restaurants, retail stores and convenience stores - all within easy walking distance. Access Points 1, 3, 5, 10, and 13 have no parking. It’s close to the mainland thereby, making it easy to travel by foot or bike. If you’re staying somewhere nearby and can travel by foot, you can also get to Point of Rocks from Beach. If you’re driving, try for one of the parking spots at Beach Access 12 and then walk from there. The third thing that makes Crescent Beach nice is it’s convenient to so many things. You also have to put in a little effort to get to prime snorkeling spot Point of Rocks, located south of Crescent Beach on Siesta Key. VISIT THIS AWESOME, NEARBY BEACH BY BOAT! You’ll find that this beach is perfect for families too. The famous, public beach to the north can get crazy at times while this beach typically, remains calm and relaxing. There is no public parking here so plan on taking the shuttle to reach Crescent Beach or taking the 3-mile round trip beach trek from the Siesta Beach parking. The exact location of this beach is 948 Beach Road, Siesta Key, FL 34242. It is renowned for its clean aqua water and finest white, soft quartz sand. The second thing I like about Crescent Beach is its’ “low-key” vibe. Siesta Key Main Beach Access: Siesta Beach Park This is the most attractive beach point in Siesta Key. The best features of this beach are the two that made all of Siesta Key famous its’ super-white, powdery sand and its’ beautiful water!

What Skatebird lacks in grace, it makes up for in charm. Skating in Skatebird has all the grace of a bird on a skateboard, which is precisely none at all. Before performing any large jump or long grind, you have to snake your way through some ramps, while still ensuring that you don’t bump into something or fall off the board, which makes for a frustrating challenge. Instead, the game has a “Fancy” meter, which players fill by going up and down ramps to go faster. Birds, naturally, can’t pump on a skateboard. Situations like that are made even more infuriating when you realize it’s not very easy to build speed in Skatebird. At other times though, you’ll build up speed and hit a wall, unable to turn around because the game seemingly still thinks you’re accelerating, meaning you have to bail out. Getting around with wheels on the ground isn’t any better, as Skatebird‘s wonky physics engine regularly decides that a small bump into an object is enough to knock your bird off. Image used with permission by copyright holder The game seemingly plans for that, though, giving players control of their bailed bird, which can be rolled around for fun, but that feeling only lasts through a few failed landings. I’ve done tricks and then tried to land on the ground, only to have the board pointing at a 45-degree angle for some reason, which leads to my bird absolutely eating tar. The bird is more like a fish in the air, flopping around without any sense of direction. What’s much, much harder to have any influence over is whether you actually successfully land after performing a trick. You decide when your bird does a grab or grind. That’s about the best part of Skatebird: It’s easy to control. One button does an ollie, another does grinds, another does grabs, etc. The game sticks to its arcade style, with each face button controlling one move. It’s a bummer to say, but Skatebird‘s goofy story and silly jokes are the stars here. Skatebird‘s story is one pun after another, all with a subtle background of anti-capitalist sentiment, and if the idea of capitalism-hating birds doesn’t put a smile on your face, I’m begging you to get a sense of humor. In short, the bird’s owner has a crappy job at a crappy tech startup, which the birds naturally sabotage, first by diverting the boss’ AC out of his office and to everyone else, and then by destroying servers and more. Skatebird‘s story is one pun after another, all with a subtle background of anti-capitalist sentiment … Unfortunately, Big Friend is feeling down, so the skating bird, along with a flock of others, decides to escape from the room, figure out why the friend is so miserable, and fix the issue with the power of skating. You thought Skatebird wouldn’t make a Tony Hawk joke? Image used with permission by copyright holderĪfter a quick introduction, players are thrown right into the game’s first area: A massive bedroom that belongs to their bird’s Big Friend. Naturally, I went with a cowboy hat that always stayed on. The game has all the trappings of a typical arcade skating game, starting with character customization, with players able to choose what kind of bird they want to be and what goofy accessories they want to wear. ![]() In Skatebird, you grind, flip, and chirp (or as the game calls it, “screm”) across mundane areas as a tiny, gnarly bird. ![]() The entire premise of Skatebird is written in its name, and if you’re not used to jokes like that, just leave this review now.
