Serious Time

The Time-Lock is a mysterious device that is capable of sending someone back in time, more specifically back to the date it was armed. It can accept organic and inorganic matter, but it will usually strip off any large inorganic objects on someone when they use it, such as weapons. It plays an important role in many Serious Sam titles.

Serious Time

The Time-Lock is essentially a time machine. In Serious Sam 3: BFE, it appears to require an immense amount of power, as there are two generators dedicated to powering it, with one in Karnak and another one in Luxor. This isn't the case in other games the Time-Lock appears in.

The device was created by an unknown species, but discovered by the Sirians during their travels. During Mental's siege on the Sirians, they sent the Time-Lock to Earth, a planet they were just starting to explore, to prevent it from falling into Mental's hands. After the fall of Sirius, the last remaining Sirians decided to arm the Time-Lock to their time in case it was needed by the humans for whatever reason. After being armed, the Time-Lock was buried in the Mortuary Temple of Hatshepsut, and it was lost for many, many generations.

While thought to be extinct, a few surviving Sirians placed Time-Locks with each great human civiliaztion on Earth, such as the Mayans and Babylonians. This was part of a backup plan for someone to go forward in time to the location of the backup spaceship should anything happen to the SSS Centerprice.

A few millennia later, the Time-Lock was discovered in an excavation site near the Temple of Hatshepsut. Once uncovered, the humans began to find a way to turn it on. Unfortunately though, Mental had already discovered Earth during this time. Like the Sirians, the humans were losing to the point where Mental only had to defeat Earth to succeed in the annihilation of humanity. The Earth Defense Force began making a last-ditch plan where they would insert a squad of soldiers into the Time-Lock in order to kill Mental in the past. However, the big problem was that the power generators were shut down, and their locations were unknown.

The Time-Lock plays a much larger role in Serious Sam: The Second Encounter, with several of them existing throughout different time periods. It seems that the Sirians created these Time-Locks (or teleported them from another part of space), so that someone from the future could activate the backup spaceship, in case anything happened to the SSS Centerprice, a spacecraft that would be sent to Earth if a homing beacon was activated in Egypt.

Once Sam arrives at the Tower of Babel, he fights through many courtyards before being able to enter it, but it is not long before he is greeted by the Exotech Larva, a large insect-like cyborg that Mental created to prevent Sam from entering the final Time-Lock. After a tough fight, Sam defeats the beast and enters the last Time-Lock, which sends him further in time to the medieval era, in 1138 AD. From then on, Sam defeats Mental's hordes all the way up to The Grand Cathedral, where he encounters Mordekai the Summoner, one of Mental's servants who guards the Holy Grail. Sam finally obtains the Holy Grail after one last fight before departing to Sirius in the backup spaceship.

In Serious Sam Advance, humanity has managed to adjust the Time-Lock so that they can warp anywhere in history. They use the Time-Lock both to explore the past and to make sure that Mental doesn't tamper with the past in any way. The game starts out with some agents from Earth disappearing during a routine time traveling trip. Sam is sent back into the past via the Time-Lock to see what happened.

Currently, Vilsack says, an estimated 133 billion pounds of food is wasted each year. And if that's hard to fathom, picture this: "It's enough to fill the Sears Tower [technically now called the Willis Tower] 44 times," Vilsack says.

Wilson said he has never done a media interview about the success of the song. He only recorded Gyptian once when he did Hold Yuh with Gyptian, but Lady Luck was not with him that time. Wilson had converted to Christianity at the time and had cut ties with secular music.

Perhaps the most important aspect of all of this, which we will come to later, is that Soundstripe allows you to quickly experiment with different kinds of music, video, and SFX by importing it directly into your Adobe Premiere Pro timeline. The plugin allows you to do this without minimal effort since you can easily delete and import new content without having to leave Premiere Pro.

Putting together your messages in advance eliminates the pressure to post in real-time. Not only that, but businesses are often expected to post multiple times per day across multiple platforms based on the best times to post on social media.

Having automated responses helps you save time as you address more pressing issues one-on-one. In a day and age where customers expect personalized service, this allows you to find a sort of balance between getting things done and giving your customers the attention they deserve.

A study of high school yearbook photos in the U.S. taken from 1905 to 2005 told a similar story of the changing default expression. The researchers averaged images of men and women by decade, and though it was a specific sample, they found that average lip curvature increased over time and also that women led the way to toothy grins, on average smiling more than men did in any given decade.

The Blue Jays have been playing well for weeks and are in postseason position as of Sunday. One of the main reasons for that is Teoscar Hernandez is tearing the proverbial cover off the ball. Unfortunately for the Jays and Hernandez, he's likely ticketed for the injured list and will miss "serious" time, per Rob Longley of the Toronto Sun. The culprit is rib stiffness, per Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.

If Hernandez misses serious time, that's a problem for the Jays. As noted, they are in playoff position but jockeying for a better spot would behoove them. They are tied with the Yankees for second place in the AL East entering Sunday and they play the Yankees 10 more times the rest of the way. They also have to deal with the red-hot Phillies for a four-game series.

If supported by certification of a health care provider, FMLA leave taken for a chronic serious health condition or a condition for which treatment may not be effective, may be taken as a continuous block of time. The diagnosis, prognosis, and course of treatment prescribed by the health care provider will determine the way the employee and his or her supervisor approach FMLA leave and the employee's work schedule.

If you are receiving State Disability Insurance for your own serious health condition, an employer may not require you to use accrued vacation or sick time. You may elect to supplement State Disability Insurance with accrued vacation or sick time. If you are not receiving State Disability Insurance, you may elect to use, and your employer may require you to use, accrued vacation and/or sick time.

If you are receiving Paid Family Leave to care for the serious health condition of a family member, an employer may not require you to take accrued vacation time. You may elect to supplement Paid Family Leave with accrued vacation time or, if your employer agrees, sick time. If you are not receiving Paid Family Leave, you may elect to use it, and your employer may require you to use accrued vacation time, and you and your employer may agree that you can use sick time.

Setting up and using these templates will allow you to save your brainpower and your time for focusing on the elements of Notes and Activities that differ (their substance) rather than the elements that remain largely the same.

This problem occurs because the file appears on the list of disabled files for the Microsoft Office program. The program adds a file to this list if the file causes a serious error, such as causing the program to quit unexpectedly (crash) during two or more tries to open it. This message allows you to avoid potential problems that may occur if you open the file.

Any offense punishable by death or imprisonment for more than one year is called a felony. Felonies are the most serious crimes. The prosecutors and the courts handle felony cases differently from misdemeanor cases (cases that have shorter possible sentences).

Some felony cases begin when the United States Attorney (or usually an Assistant United States Attorney), working with a law enforcement officer, files a criminal complaint before a United States Magistrate. This complaint is a statement, under oath, of facts sufficient to support probable cause to believe that an offense against the laws of the United States has been committed by a defendant. If the Magistrate accepts the complaint, a summons or arrest warrant will be issued for the defendant. In some cases, the defendant may have been arrested without a warrant, in which case the defendant is presented to the Magistrate at the time the complaint is filed.

Victims and witnesses of federal offenses may be interviewed by a law enforcement officer before the filing of a complaint. In those situations, the law enforcement officer will report the statements of the victim or witness to the Assistant United States Attorney assigned to the case. Sometimes the Assistant United States Attorney may wish to interview the witness in person.

Although a grand jury proceeding is not a trial, it is a serious matter. Witnesses are put under oath. Their testimony is recorded and may later be used during the trial. It is important to review carefully what you remember about the crime before you testify before the grand jury. You must tell the truth. Before testifying before the grand jury, you will probably meet with the case agent or the Assistant United States Attorney. This will help you get ready for your grand jury appearance.

Not every witness in a serious crime is called to testify by the grand jury. Sometimes the grand jury will issue indictments on the basis of an officer's testimony alone. If you are called to testify, the Assistant United States Attorney should be able to give you an approximate time when your testimony will be heard. Unfortunately, it is not always possible to schedule testimony to the minute. Your appearance may involve some waiting to be called before the grand jury itself, so we recommend that you bring some reading material along with you. 041b061a72
