![]() Emma’s childhood friend Julie apparently brings the letters Emma’s written to her over the years to read and re-read while she’s at camp, which seems strange to me given that they’re not very close anymore, and it comes off contrived simply because Emma’s letters are plot-relevant and need to show up in order to be used in people’s schemes. I struggled with the one-dimensional characters who seemed to behave as best befitted the plot instead of like recognizable human beings. I needed more to show WHY she was able to overcome these hangups instead of her being magically cured all of a sudden (with the minor implication that her love interest may have some of the credit). The book pays lip service to her issues instead of incorporating them properly into the storyline so that Emma goes from someone who supposedly has serious neuroses that majorly impact her life to the point where she had to be pulled out of school to a girl who has no issues facing her triggers and navigates everyday life with ease. Emma suffers from depression and anxiety, including a crippling fear of the woods due to a traumatic incident in her past, but we rarely see her struggle with this. My first issue was that the development of the mental health aspect felt shallow to me. Unfortunately this book didn’t hit the mark for me, but it may appeal more to younger readers as it’s a quick easy read. ![]() The cute cover and premise of sapphic summer love at camp lured me in, and I whole-heartedly wish I enjoyed it more than I did. When Emma breaks into the tool shed on her first day there, the fall out from her escapades leads her right into the path of her counsellor, Vivian Black. ![]() It’s the last place Emma wants to be with scary creatures, creepy crawlies, and much that can go bump in the night. ![]() Lumberjanes meets the frothy, fun tone of a YA Marian Keyes in this cute romance between two girls away at summer campĮmma Lane’s forced to face her fears when her mother unceremoniously dumps her on the doorstep of Camp Mapplewood, abandoning her for the summer while she heads off on a cruise with her latest husband.

Just about everyone was excited by Masataka Yoshida’s World Baseball Classic performance, but one of the Boston press corps’ resident curmudgeons did bring up a potentially concerning stat: almost all of the damage he did during the tournament came against soft stuff.With less than a week remaining in the regular season, Boston is guaranteed to finish under.

As was the case with the original Castlevania Adventure, Castlevania Adventure Rebirth doesn't try to do too much. While a 720p or 1080p image certainly would have improved things, the game looks fantastic, keeping true to its 2D sprite roots while adding the visual effects and smooth gameplay one would expect from a modern game. Castlevania Rebirth is one of the Wii games that proves that there's more to a good looking game than resolution. All in all, despite being a remake, this feels like a completely new and unrelated game in the series, and I mean that in the best way possible.īeing on Wii, this game obviously won't give you a high definition picture, but that's not to say that it looks bad as that is far from the case. The music is done in a similar way there are remixes and adaptations of music from previous entries in the Castlevania series, but they all feel fresh, new, and unique. Whereas the Game Boy title had four stages, there are six stages in Rebirth (really, though, there are five stage six is just the Dracula fight), and all of the stages are very much their own thing rather than a copy of the original game's stages. While it is a remake of the Game Boy title, it's not a straight remaster but rather a full reimagining in the same way that Super Castlevania IV was a complete reimagining of the original Castlevania. With respect to plot, as a remake of Castlevania Adventure, the protagonist is Christopher Belmont, a descendent of Trevor Belmont from Castlevania III and an ancestor of Simon Belmont from the first Castlevania.

It was seen as "fast and well sailing", but required a large crew to handle its rigging. In the early 19th century the brig was a standard cargo ship. While their use stretches back before the 17th century, one of the most famous periods for the brig was during the 19th century when they were involved in famous naval battles such as the Battle of Lake Erie. Due to their speed and maneuverability they were popular among pirates (though they were rare among American and Caribbean pirates). Rimac, a brig built by Brocklebank in Whitehaven in 1834 for trade between Peru and Liverpool : 75īrigs were used as small warships carrying about 10 to 18 guns. By the 17th century the British Royal Navy defined "brig" as having two square rigged masts. The square-rigged brig's advantage over the fore-and-aft rigged brigantine was "that the sails, being smaller and more numerous, are more easily managed, and require fewer men or 'hands' to work them." The variant was so popular that the term "brig" came to exclusively signify a ship with this type of rigging. Re-rigging a brigantine with two square-rigged masts instead of one gave it greater sailing power. The brig actually developed as a variant of the brigantine. The word "brig" has been used in the past as an abbreviation of brigantine (which is the name for a two-masted vessel with foremast fully square rigged and her mainmast rigged with both a fore-and-aft mainsail, square topsails and possibly topgallant sails). A brig made of pine in the 19th century was designed to last for about twenty years (many lasted longer). Historically, most brigs were made of wood, although some later brigs were built with hulls and masts of steel or iron. A notable exception being the famous designer Colin Mudie's 'Little Brigs' ( TS Bob Allen and TS Caroline Allen), which are only 10m long and weigh only 8 tonnes. Hull material Ī brig is "generally built on a larger scale than a schooner, and may approach the magnitude of a full-sized, three-masted ship." Brigs vary in length between 75 and 165 ft (23 and 50 m) with tonnages up to 480. ![]() This is opposed to the standing rigging which is fixed, and keeps mast and other objects rigid. All the yards are manipulated by a complicated arrangement of cordage named the running rigging. Between the fore mast and the bowsprit are the fore staysail, jib, and flying jib. The fore mast holds a fore sail, fore top sail, fore top gallant sail, and fore royal. The brig's foremast is smaller than the main mast. the main studding sails, main top studding sails, and the main top gallant studding sails, etc. The wings are named after the sails to which they are fastened, i.e. These are called studding sails, and are used with fair and light wind only. Attached to the respective yards of square-rigged ships are smaller spars, which can be extended, thus lengthening the yard, thus receiving an additional sailing wing on each side. On the foremast is a similar sail, called the trysail. Behind the main sail there is a small fore-and-aft sail called the spanker or boom mainsail (it is somewhat similar to the main sail of a schooner). īrig sails are named after the masts to which they are attached: the mainsail above that the main topsail above that the main topgallant sail and occasionally a very small sail, called the royal, is above that. To improve maneuverability, the mainmast carries a small ( gaff rigged) fore-and-aft sail. In sailing, a full-rigged brig is a vessel with two square rigged masts (fore and main). In the first half of the 19th century, the vast majority were rigged as brigs, and that rig was retained for longer in the northeast of England. Other ports and coastal communities were also be served by colliers trading to Britain's coal ports. With an average of eight or nine trips per year for one vessel, that is a fleet of over 500 colliers trading to London alone. 4,395 voyages to London with coal were recorded in 1795. In Royal Navy use, brigs were retained for training use when the battle fleets consisted almost entirely of iron-hulled steamships.īrigs were prominent in the coasting coal trade of British waters. ![]() In commercial use, they were gradually replaced by fore-and-aft rigged vessels such as schooners, as owners sought to reduce crew costs by having rigs that could be handled by fewer men. Brigs originated in the second half of the 18th century and were a common type of smaller merchant vessel or warship from then until the latter part of the 19th century. A small trading brig entering the Bristol Avon, painted by Joseph WalterĪ brig is a type of sailing vessel defined by its rig: two masts which are both square-rigged. ![]() ![]() ![]() Start by opening up Minecraft with Forge.
