We wanted to bring people down to the lowest point to give all the floors equal importance – otherwise what is at the bottom feels secondary. Our strongest move was removing the metal deck at ground level to reveal all this space beneath, making the hall feel so much bigger, almost like a nave.

Is it worth the $20 premium over the Soundcore 2? Absolutely. While other speakers may sound better, you’re going to have to spent much more money. However, the Wonderboom is more rugged and can be clipped to a bag.įor the money, we can’t think of a speaker that offers a better balance of features, build quality and sound. Competitors like the UE Wonderboom give the Flare a run for its money in terms of build quality but we give the Flare the slight edge with sound quality. The Soundcore Flare is an amazing value in the sub-$100 wireless speaker segment. Anker Soundcore Flare Review: Stylish, Rugged, and Customizable. However, you can stretch the battery life by disabling the light show entirely. With the LEDs set to medium intensity and listening at 50% volume, we managed to get around 8 hours. There’s slight distortion so those who like to listen to music loudly will want to invest in a larger speaker.īattery life is rated at around 12 hours and will depend largely on volume level and the brightness of the LEDs. Similarly, highs are a bit uncontrolled and sound harsh at times, especially at high volumes. With the Bass Up feature enabled, we find the Flare produces slightly more bass than the UE Wonderboom but both lack the visceral impact that larger speakers provide. That being said, for its size the Anker Soundcore Flare can get loud and produces admirable bass. In fact, all of the EQ presets are quite subtle, shifting the tonal balance of the speaker slightly.

And, most importantly, Hines wants surrounding drivers to know that they share something important in common. And Hines wants people to remember that without tractor trailers, there is no food on store shelves or fuel at gas stations. And be patient with us.” Hines said he constantly gets the middle finger from surrounding drivers who don’t like his speed, not realizing he needs more time to get up to speed merging on a highway or needs longer to stop. When asked what he wants other drivers to know about truckers that he thinks they forget, he shared something that every commuter should remember of one another. Hines has never competed, but XPO has drivers that do. Small mistakes can be very costly in many ways. Winners of various divisions in Georgia then compete nationally, all with the idea of promoting safety behind the wheel of these precious loads and large trucks. The Georgia Motor Trucking Association holds the annual Georgia Truck Driving Championships at Lake Lanier, a competition that includes written tests and driving course skills to measure driver acuity and safety. He said around 20 drivers have reached at least a million miles out of the 150 or so drivers at his terminal. ![]() Hines said that XPO has what it calls the “Hall of Fame” for drivers that reach the one million and two million-mile crash-free benchmarks. He said that stopped drivers on shoulders will often not even check the traffic before darting into it. “When I see someone is on the shoulder, I get over one ,” Hines said, noting Georgia’s “Move Over Law,” which requires drivers to slow below the speed limit when passing emergency responders or to get over one lane. Hines also braces for the worst when he sees cars on the side of the road that may be preparing to reenter traffic. ![]() “So I anticipate when I look down and see what they are doing.” Hines’ high big rig perch means he has a bird’s eye view for all the dangerous, annoying things drivers around him do: applying makeup, phone-use, eating, and drifting out of their lanes. That’s what gave me my first million miles and my second.” “I try to take my time and never be in a hurry. Hines also imparts arguably his greatest wisdom, besides prayer. I make sure they see me and make sure there is a way out.” That training conditions Hines’ alertness, proactivity, and patience. The training includes weekly Monday morning meetings, persistent safety courses every other week, and even hazmat training every five years. “I do offensive and defensive driving, to anticipate what a driver may do or may not do.” Hines practices his company’s five-step safety protocol behind the wheel, leaning on the training he and his cohorts constantly receive. Once behind the wheel, Hines’ head is on a swivel and constantly calculating his surroundings. “Every time I roll off this yard, I say a prayer.” “First thing I do when I get in that truck is a proper pre-trip ,” Hines said of the check inside and outside the truck to make sure all equipment is in order. But he has a process that keeps him between the ditches. Hines does shorter runs than his fellow drivers, so his trek to a million takes longer. This kind of freak instance was more the result of someone else’s mistake than Hines’, but goes to show just how hard driving unscathed in big rigs is.ĭespite that, Hines said there are several people in XPO’s Atlanta division that have achieved two million crash-free miles consecutively and one who has gone over three million miles. So that happened and I had to start all over again,” Hines, a truck driver of 31 years, told the AJC and 95.5 WSB. And I scraped him because I sat so high up and didn’t see them.

Back in April, he visited Harlem, ostensibly to investigate the reasons for Hillary Clinton’s success among black voters. This is not the first time that Watters, a Fox News reporter with a Stifler-esque swagger who does not tend to break actual news but has repeatedly praised Trump as the “winning” guy, has targeted minority communities. ![]() How many of my fellow-Americans were laughing at the bigotry along with O’Reilly and his perennial sidekick, Jesse Watters? Then, on Monday night, Fox News ran a segment on “The O’Reilly Factor” that Bill O’Reilly, the show’s host, called “gentle fun.” It was so relentlessly odious and flagrantly racist that if you were a Chinese immigrant, like me (I came to America when I was eight years old, and am now a citizen), you began to wonder, with a twist of dread, if prejudice had somehow become infectious. In August, he included Filipinos on a list of potentially terrorist immigrants and said, “ We’re dealing with animals.” (There were also North Africans and Middle Easterners on his list.) During the first Presidential debate, China was mentioned twelve times, mostly by Trump, as a threat and hindrance to America’s growth. After predicating his campaign on deranged anti-immigrant rhetoric, the Republican Presidential nominee, Donald Trump, gleefully mocked the Chinese and Japanese using broken, accented English during a campaign rally in Iowa. ![]() Back during the Republican primaries, fear-mongering politicians talked about Asian immigrants and their “anchor babies” in a way that portrayed an entire race as opportunists thronging to exploit America and its resources on behalf of their offspring. ![]() The past year has not exactly been a good one for Asian-Americans. Watters’s “scoop” is so full of wince-inducing stereotypes that the casual watcher may confuse it with a grade-school educational video about the hazards of discrimination.

You can continue rolling the dice until you either Pass or Farkle. You cannot earn points by combining dice from different rolls. Scoring is based only on the dice in each roll. Players take turns rolling the dice and racking up points. The remaining dice may earn you additional points, but if you Farkle, you lose everything you earned during the round. The object of the game is to be the first to score 10,000 points. If you rolled at least one scoring die, you can bank your points and pass the dice to the next player, or risk the points you just earned during this round by putting some or all of the winning die (dice) aside and rolling the remaining dice. ![]() If none of your dice earned points, that's a Farkle! Since you earned no points, you pass the dice to the next player. Points are earned every time you roll a 1 or 5, three of a kind, three pairs, a six-dice straight (1,2,3,4,5,6), or two triplets. You can practice rolling dice on our Dice Roller page. It is played by two or more players, with each player in succession having a turn at throwing the dice, the. When it's your turn, you roll all six dice at the same time. Farkle is commonly played with a dice, sheet of paper for scoring and a pen/pencil. That is not a part of the original rules. Both players take turns playing, and as Henry, you always. Each player takes turns rolling the dice. First of all, We don’t play with the rule of the succeeding player taking over the left over dice.
