In testing CyberLink PowerDirector, I did my best to exhaustively use every feature available in the program. Someone who reads this PowerDirector review should walk away from it with a good sense of whether or not they are the kind of user who will benefit from using the software. My goal is to highlight the program’s strengths and weaknesses and outline exactly which kinds of users the software is best suited for. I have a decent grasp of the standard features of competing video editing programs and can quickly recall how easy or difficult it was to learn other video editors. I’ve used programs such as Final Cut Pro, VEGAS Pro, and Nero Video to create videos for both personal and commercial use. Having just begun the process of learning how to edit videos in the past six months, I’m a relative newcomer to the art of making movies and the exact sort of person to who PowerDirector is marketed.

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS ARNOLD THOUGHT THAT FREDDIE WAS ACTUALLY TAKING VITAMINS. Kotter’s classroom window to the window across the courtyard.Īnd that’s when they realize that Arnold isn’t pretending to be on drugs. So when that didn’t work, Arnold decides to do some like weird acrobatics. Their bizarro drug imitation works on Freddie for about 5 seconds until he realizes that they’re just being weird. For a bunch of inner city kids, they sure seem like they’ve never seen anyone on drugs before. Their master plan is to pretend like they are all also on drugs. He’s obviously incapable at helping Freddie, so the sweat hogs decide to take matters into their own hands. Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs is dancing in circles around Gabe Kaplan’s skills and they are so incredibly mis-matched that the whole scene is weirdly flat. And let me just say, Gabe Kaplan is like the worst actor to attempt a dramatic scene. Kotter (Gabe Kaplan) decides to confront him about it. He also released a relatively successful disco-soul album, Fly Away (To My Wonderland) in addition to performing backup vocals in. He’s not taking dirty-foot pills.)

Then his friends find him in the bathroom taking pills out of his shoe. But he tells the rest of the “sweat hogs” that he’s just groggy because he’s taking some pills that the doctor gave him for a knee injury. Lawrence Hilton-Jacobs of 'Welcome Back Kotter' speculates what Freddy Boom Boom Washington is up to now-Please watch: 'BANDMATES - A Viral Vi. He appears to be going through opiate withdrawal.

After the battle Caesar pardons the captured soldiers of Pompey, including Brutus to whom he says that if anyone wants peace they shall have it. He then catches up with and defeats Pompey at the Battle of Pharsalus, who then flees to Egypt. Upon his return to Rome Caesar is made dictator. Pompey, Cato and Brutus immediately decide to leave to regroup their own troops in Greece. Caesar makes his way back to Rome and crosses the river Rubicon with his army. Pompey begins planning to attack Caesar before he can march to Rome, but is too late. Caesar sends Mark Antony to talk to the Senate, but this makes the situation worse. He allies with Cato to attack Caesar politically. Meanwhile, in Rome Julia dies in childbirth, and Pompey begins to turn against Caesar who he fears is becoming too powerful. Outnumbered and surrounded, Caesar's army nevertheless emerges victorious. However, later on, the same warrior chief summons a huge army to fight Caesar's legions at the Battle of Alesia. Admiring his strength of will, Caesar lets him go, giving him a horse. Caesar asks him why he is willing to die for something that will be destroyed no matter what, and the warrior replies "because it is mine". He tells Caesar his name is Vercingetorix. While sacking a town in Gaul, Caesar comes across a strong-willed warrior who refuses to give in to the Romans attacking his home. Before he goes to Gaul, Caesar marries Calpurnia and the two of them remain in contact through letters. Calpurnia tells Caesar that she knows about his "falling sickness" and he confesses that it shames him. In marrying her, he agrees to allow Caesar to take his legions to Gaul, despite the fact that the senate wished to send Cassius. Julia realizes that her father needs an alliance and offers to marry Pompey in order to obtain his legions. At Pompey's welcome home party, while Pompey gets on well with Julia, Caesar notices Calpurnia who he doesn't remember from their encounter before.Ĭaesar swears to his mother that he will make a name for himself. At the triumph, Caesar has another seizure but is aided by Calpurnia, daughter of a wealthy man in Rome. On the day of Pompey's triumph Julia, Portia and Marcus decide to go and Portia insists on dragging Brutus along with them. Several years later Pompey returns to Rome and Caesar has achieved the consulship. The senate send Pompey to deal with the problem after Caesar convinced them that he will not take the city with his army like Sulla did. Around this time the same pirates who held him captive cut off the grain supply. When Cornelia dies from her illness, Caesar swears at her funeral that he will make Rome a better place. While he was gone Cornelia became very ill and Julia befriended the young daughter of Caesar's rival Marcus Porcius Cato, Portia, her brother Marcus and their cousin Brutus. Back in Rome, Sulla dies of a heart-attack and Caesar is allowed to return home. Caesar bargains to fight one of them for an extra day and wins, then has a seizure and the pirates believe him worthless, deciding to throw him in the sea just in time the Roman boat returns with the money and they let Caesar go. When the Romans crew sent with the message of the ransom don't return, the pirates plan to kill him. Pompey buys a swine's heart from the market and tells Sulla that the heart is Caesar's.Ĭaesar is captured by pirates who intend to ransom him for money. Pompey follows Caesar and tells him to leave Rome, which he does. Sulla lets him go but orders Pompey to kill him and bring his heart to him. Caesar's mother, Aurelia, asks Sulla to show him mercy out of respect for her, he promises to let Caesar live if he divorces his wife, Cornelia but Caesar refuses. Pompey arrests him and takes him to Sulla. When he sees his father-in-law's name he rushes to his house to try to help him escape. The guards sent with the news post death lists on the senate door. He is out in the town with his daughter Julia (who in real history was not yet born) when news comes that Lucius Cornelius Sulla is just outside the city walls and intends to take the city with his army.

This makes the first tee shot less intimidating and less like you have to “perform” right away. Once you’ve mastered 50 yards, move back to 75, then 100, and so on. Focus on trying to get the tee out of the ground and making contact with the ball. If you’re with a group of ladies, let them tee off and when you are about 50 yards in to the green, grab a 7-iron and tee it up in the fairway. If you want to go play and you’re still just starting out, try skipping the tee box and tee up your shots in the fairway. If you can get your 7-iron airborne off a tee with some degree of consistency, then let’s give it a go! If you feel up for it, we say go for it!

We have a few pros at Thr3 Jack available for lessons, but you can get lessons at most public courses in the area. Even one session will set you on a good path. They can walk you through basic swing fundamentals and etiquette. We think one of the best ways to pick up the game, is by starting out with a lesson from a pro.
