![]() How will Seemann Composites-which spent 2016 to 2018 building facilities to support production of the Columbia class bow domes-handle an emergent requirement to re-engineer for a new “one-off” bow dome while managing their critical work on the Columbia class? And who in the Navy will adjudicate the unbendable Columbia class production schedule with the need to get a single Seawolf bow dome completed? These are all things Congress must help the Navy figure out before checks start leaving the U.S. This makes Seemann Composites the likely supplier of any replacement bow dome for the Connecticut.īut Seemann Composites is already under contract to build key parts for the Columbia class ballistic missile submarine-the Navy’s number one procurement priority-as well as parts of certain Virginia class submarines and unmanned vehicles. In 2014, the Navy awarded Seemann Composites, LLC, a relatively small and specialized company from Gulfport, Mississippi, a contract to develop a program-plan for developing and building a substitute Seawolf class submarine bow dome. Connecticut’s repairs may disrupt other critical portions of America’s fragile submarine industrial base. ![]() In 2005, the last time the Navy ran a submarine into a mountain, the sub needed four years of work and the repairs cost America $134 million-almost twice the Navy’s original $79 million estimate. But, given the Navy’s poor estimating skills, few admirals are eager to publicly proffer a realistic cost target. Given all the Navy’s other pressing priorities, spending hundreds of millions to get a mere dozen more years out of the broken Connecticut may not be in the national interest.Īt a minimum, the Navy needs to tell taxpayers the expected cost of the repairs.

That's how far you are East/West of zero, how deep from the surface, and how far North/South you are of zero. The coordinates are displayed in a X/Z/Y format for some reason. You can hit F1 to see the debug display and it will give exact coordinates (handy if you have printed off one of the blank maps from the Wiki). That's going to be really helpful later, trust me.Īlright, let's see where we are. ![]() Don't worry about using it up, it makes a new one every thirty minutes of game time, for free. Open your inventory and use the kit to heal yourself to 100%. Bleeding in the water is probably a bad idea, right? Open the First Aid Dispenser on the wall to your left, and grab the kit from it. Besides, they taste like sawdust and old sweat socks. If something goes wrong, and your food level drops below 25%, eat one of the nutrition blocks to fill up, but you should have plenty of food soon. Don't bother with any of them right now, there's plenty of food and water around. You'll see we start with 2 flares, 2 bottles of water, and 2 tasteless but powerful nutrition bars. Open the locker under the big computer display, and put the extinguisher inside. You start with one piece of gear (the extinguisher), a moderate wound to the head, you're really hungry and a little thirsty.įirst, let's stow that useless extinguisher and see what the lifepod has for supplies. This will create a huge radiation zone that can kill you in a hurry, if you don't have the right protection and swim into it by accident. Another little problem is that in a little while, about fifteen minutes of real time, the Aurora is going to blow up. After that, every second of real time that passes, your hunger and water levels will drop until you reach 0% in either one – and die. It makes it seem like there's a time limit but once it's done exploding the first time, the Aurora will be there as-is the rest of the game.I always try to obtain the basic gear for survival in the first ten minutes of the game, and this short guide explains one way to do it.Īs soon as you complete the intro cut scene and put out the fire, the PDA boots up to speak to you and the game officially starts. Oh yeah, and don't worry about the ominous shaking. There are fire extinguishers on site and random drops of food/water/batteries, but it never hurts to bring your own! Just don't bring too much so you can carry all that lovely loot. From there you can head further up and around to get to administration/cargo/reactor or go immediately right and clear out the lower door leading to the science area. Hang a shallow right and head for the "ramp." Safe parking there for your Seamoth if you have one. Once you get inside the bow area you should be safe, but no reason to linger. I can't absolutely guarantee you won't meet Sammy but in about ten times back and forth using this method I hear him but haven't seen him much less had him attack. speaking of which, my preferred method of entry and exit is to follow a path roughly eastwards from the Safe Shallows to the Aurora's port midsection, then hug the side as you move to the bow and go in as soon as you spot the first hole in the superstructure you can fit through. Another reason to clear all the nuisances. Also there's so much good/unique stuff to grab you might as well think about making at least two trips. You can get to and repair the reactor without needing a laser cutter, and the sooner you do so the sooner you can ditch the radiation suit in favor of other upgrades like the rebreather and stillsuit. Repairing those breeches is so much nicer when you don't have to worry about watching your back for bloodsuckers. Grab the leeches in/around the reactor room and either launch them onto dry ground or (my preference) into the fires. They can't swim so as long as you arc them far enough they won't be able to get back up. Grab every little bastard crawler on the front decking and launch it into the ocean. You kind of need the propulsion cannon along for debris clearing anyhow, but don't forget to: Our recommended mortise-style lock is the Prime-Line C1225.

Considering that the 2021 Buick Encore GX SUVs price of $24,200, is only around $1,000 more than the regular Encore, it's certainly well worth considering. ![]() In review, the 2021 Buick Encore GX is a more than decent family runabout, especially at its price. A maximum towing capacity of 1,000-pounds isn't very impressive, but still a nifty level of capability considering the segment. Every model in the line is also extensively outfitted with features at the standard level. The Encore GX's infotainment system is one of the best in the industry for its comprehensive functionality and user-friendly interface. The 2021 Buick Encore GX offers a personalized, powerful, and connected driving experience with the Buick Infotainment System with a suite of In-Vehicle Apps. It's also got a surprisingly spacious interior that is also fairly pleasant despite the use of many low-grade materials. Its modern and cute aesthetic, along with its easy drivability and frugality, make it an ideal urban and suburban runabout. It's not the most enjoyable car to drive or the most luxurious, but it is decently pleasant and impressively economical. There are a near-infinite number of options in the compact crossover SUV market, and while the Buick Encore GX may not be the most alluring, it's still a car that hits its mark faultlessly as an affordable and economical 5-door runabout. With its lackluster performance and low-grade cabin, however, we have to question whether the Encore GX has what it takes to persist in the ever-popular compact crossover segment, especially with the likes of the Toyota C-HR and Lexus UX in its league. The Encore GX SUV is to no extent a fun or engaging vehicle to drive, but one that's clearly been gauged for driving ease and fuel-efficiency, qualities that perhaps augment its appeal as an economical buy. The smaller engine is dialed to develop up to 137 horsepower and the latter up to 155 hp. What’s at the heart of a Buick SUV is actually you. At the heart of our sport utility vehicles isn’t just utility. Buick also offers the 2021 Encore GX in various guises for more choice there's a 1.2-liter and a 1.3-liter 3-cylinder unit, both of which are turbocharged.

My tester featured the larger 1.3-liter turbocharged engine pushing out 155 HP and 174 lb-ft, which adds 395 to its price tag. The first is a turbocharged 1.2-liter engine developing 137 HP and 162 lb-ft of torque. To achieve just that, the 2021 Buick Encore GX assumes an enduring and unique aesthetic, a pragmatic design, and an attractive pricing advantage. If you're considering a 2021 Buick Encore GX, you've two engine options to pick from. In a classification that's booming in popularity throughout the USA, you really have to offer a lot to compete with the top-sellers or at least have something that sets you apart from the many options out there.

Despairing, urgent, tragic, brutal-and a strong showcase of Gavras’ talents. ![]() Amid the growing chaos and violence as riot squads descend on the estate, three brothers of Algerian descent pursue conflicting, desperate strategies as they’re backed into various corners. As many have noted, the rest of this feature can’t quite live up to its audacious, opening sequence-a spectacular oner moving from French police press conference to violent protest and a housing estate entering a state of siege. While Harron’s film has no shortage of controversial content, her take demonstrates an understanding of Ellis’s novel as comedic social critique, and is an enduringly watchable one.įurious and frantic, Athena builds on director Romain Gavras’ previous work, most notably his music videos Stress for Justice and Bad Girls and Born Free for M.I.A. The pairing of Harron and Bale is vital to the sublime result, as opposed to the satire-free thriller that Lionsgate tried to make at one point, intended to star Leonardo DiCaprio with Oliver Stone directing. Every transgressive glance or loaded word lands a powerful blow as we take in perhaps the most appropriate erotic tale of the post-COVID era, one where two people drawn to each other exist in an anguished orbit of not touching, their affections quarantined.Īn unholy trinity comes together to produce filmmaking magnificence-Bret Easton Ellis’s notorious novel, a Christian Bale performance for the ages, and director/co-screenwriter Mary Harron’s take on the source material. 19th-century New York high society is the setting for this gripping tale of a young lawyer (Daniel Day-Lewis) who falls in love with a woman (Michelle Pfeiffer) scandalously separated from her husband-despite being engaged to her cousin (Winona Ryder)-all a delight to watch. Martin Scorsese’s period romance is a wonderfully crafted gut punch of simmering longing. Lady Gaga’s a revelation, Cooper a convincing music biz wreck, and even as this heads to an inevitable-feeling content-advisory-requiring ending, it’s hard to imagine not being invested in their tale. What makes this one work is the excellent chemistry of its leads, and the convincingly depicted musical world depicted here (you’d be hard-pressed to find another mainstream drama with such convincing live performances). You know the drill-one part whirlwind fairytale romance, one part wish-fulfilment fantasy, a potent brew that’s sustained multiple tellings of this story to date. ![]() It’s the gold standard by which all cinematic missions into space, interactions with artificial intelligence, and depictions of the future have been judged against ever since. The breakthrough film for Douglas Trumbull, who would go on to be revered as a special effects legend, 2001‘s effects remain incredibly impressive over fifty years later-and its influence on cinema since its 1968 release is impossible to understate (would Kurbrick have been chuffed by the start of Barbie? Probably!). Clarke’s science fiction masterpiece is both a stunningly real vision of the future, and a psychedelic explosion. We’ll update this post each month as films come and go from Netflix.

Montana, who never has been one for pep talks, told everyone, "Let's go, be tough." That was it. Someone in the 49ers' huddle said something about keeping their poise. There really was no reason to think that Montana would have any more success now-except that this was still Joe Montana, the most remarkable pressure quarterback of the 1980s. ![]() ![]() He had a more immediate problem: a three-point deficit on the scoreboard and the prospect of moving 92 yards against a Cincinnati Bengal defense that had surrendered only one touchdown all evening despite the loss of star nose tackle Tim Krumrie in the opening minutes. Of course, as Montana huddled the 49ers near their own 8-yard line with 190 seconds left in the game, the last thing on his mind was the welfare of the Super Bowl. And league executives could thank quarterback Joe Montana and the rest of his San Francisco 49er offensive teammates for that. But this time, the Super Bowl matched the competition with a flourish. While its title clash had been wallowing in mediocrity, both baseball and basketball could boast of a series of exciting championship events over the previous few years. Such a game couldn't have come at a better time for the National Football League. It wound up being the most exciting Super Bowl ever, ending with the most memorable scoring drive this extravaganza had ever witnessed. Super Bowl XXIII began with hopes that it would not be another in a recent string of one-sided yawners dominated by the National Football Conference. ![]() (January 22, 1989) - For the first time in several years, the 1989 Super Bowl was a game worthy of its name. The 49ers, who also won Super Bowls XVI and XIX, are the first NFC team to win three Super Bowls. NFC champion San Francisco captured its third Super Bowl of the 1980s by defeating AFC-champion Cincinnati 20-16. ![]()

In 1950 she danced gleefully with Cagney in The West Point Story. Walsh again got the best out of her in White Heat, a classic gangster movie, in which she was the flighty wife of psychopath James Cagney, competing with his mother for his affection. The ending, as the lovers choose to die together in the barren rockscape, is one of the great western climaxes. ![]() Mayo then brought her new veritas to the role of the sensuous saloon singer on the run with escaped convict Joel McCrea in Raoul Walsh's Colorado Territory, an intense tale of doomed love. So it was brilliant casting against type when she took the role of Dana Andrews's unsympathetic, sluttish wife in William Wyler's multiple Oscar-winner, The Best Years Of Our Lives (1946), about returning war veterans. According to the Sultan of Morocco, Mayo was "tangible proof for the existence of God". ![]() By that time, "leggy Mayo with her voluptuous body and creamy skin" was part of many male filmgoers' fantasies. She appears in Kaye's daydreams in The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty (1947), and, later in Mitty's life, in need of rescuing from evil Boris Karloff. In The Kid From Brooklyn (1946), cream puff milkman Kaye wins Mayo and the middleweight boxing championship of the world. Goldwyn then cast his two favourites, Mayo and Danny Kaye, in Wonder Man (1944), in which she was a sweet librarian to his bookworm with a gangster twin brother. That's the last film I do for Goldwyn." So it was. "How do you like that!" responded Hope, "I knock myself out for nine reels and some bit player from Paramount comes over and gets the girl. At the end, Hope loses Mayo to Crosby, who appears in a cameo for a few seconds. Mayo soon graduated from the ranks of the Goldwyn Girls to be Bob Hope's co-star in The Princess And The Pirate (1944), in which she looked ravishing in colour and had good comic timing. O'Shea and Mayo were married four years later, the marriage lasting until his death in 1973. Goldwyn saw her potential, making her one of his Goldwyn Girls, as well as immediately giving her a small speaking part in Jack London (1943), which starred the uncharismatic Michael O'Shea in the title role.
