7/2/2023 0 Comments Alula featherInternally it is not hollow, but rather is filled with a pithy material that contains air cells. It differs from the quill by being roughly rectangular in cross section. It is flattened on the sides that support the barbs. The shaft or rachis is that portion of the feather that the barbs are attached to. There are no barbs attached to the quill. It is cylindrical, transparent, and hollow. The fact of the matter is that the quill is simply that portion of the feather that is inserted in the skin follicle nothing more. The quill or calamus is often mistakenly described as being anything from the feather shaft to the barbs themselves. Sadly it is easier to take for granted what has been said in the past rather than investigate on our own. Understanding leads to better results in any endeavor. Perhaps just as important has been a desire to whet the appetite of the fly tier toward a better understanding of not only physical construction, types, and purposes of feathers, but also to make that same tier more curious about other materials not understood. All the same great effort has been placed on accuracy of feather and component names and descriptions. The following discussion is general in its scope while being specific enough to cover the majority of feather types that the fly tier will encounter. Feathers are as unique as the birds that wear them. This article is not intended to be a complete scientific discourse on the nature of feathers. It also leads to a more appropriate selection of materials for specific tasks. What does understanding of feather construction lead to? Better flies that we control rather than the material controlling us. For instance why does a dry fly hackle when wound on an uneven surface (i.e., twisted thread, bulky surface, etc.) lead to a fly with the barbs strewn all about? Why does a hackle mounted on an even surface produces a fly with barbs at a distinct ninety degree angle out from that surface? If you understand the rectangular shape of the rachis and the location of the barbs on the rachis it all makes sense. The parts of a typical feather are simple to learn, and once understood help us to better appreciate why feathers do what they do in different applications. It may not be necessary to know scientific names, but if we wish to communicate, we need to have standards. We have all read fly patterns that refer to quills, barbs, barbules, fibers, shafts, stems, vanes and so forth, but when we read these terms do we know what they have reference to? We may, but what about the author did he truly describe by name what he intended? How often have we read quill when in fact what was referred to was actually a barb or perhaps shaft? How often have we read fibers when the author meant barbs or perhaps barbules? How often have we read barbs, barbules, fibers or even barbels (which are tactile processes on the lips of a fish rather than components of a feather) when referring to a feather's ability to marry, but in actuality barbicels or perhaps more specifically hooklets is what was meant? If we spoke the same language we would better comprehend what was intended. In turn it behooves us as fly tiers to speak the same language. We need to have standardsĪn important aspect of fly tying is sharing information. This article is part of Project Anatomy, a All Birds project that aims to write comprehensive articles on each anatomical term related to birds.A part of learning to do flies like this one is learning to know the main material: feathers. This article is part of Project Glossary, a All Birds project that aims to write comprehensive articles on each term related to animals.

At some points there are special events where the player has to make decisions (e.g. to restore vitality which limits what can be achieved in a day) or better equipment. The earned pay can be spent on items (e.g. This is especially important during the first three years when the player character is still in college: here a significant portion of time has to be spent with studying (failing college will end the career early!) or with a part-time job for money. However, there is also the personal life to take care of (which also affects other statistics such as popularity). Training eventually awards a level-up and the possibility to improve statistical values. During this mode the player needs to choose how to utilize the given time, for example with different training exercises. Success mode is the heart of the game: in this mode the player creates a single athlete and follows his way to the top.

On the field the game uses relatively simple two button controls, e.g. For example the tactics of each athlete can be changed in detail, there are about 75 skills which change the athletes' abilities and there is extensive statistical tracking for the player's performance as well. While the graphics and especially the athletes are not at all realistic, the game still has a strong focus on statistics and the simulation aspect. 7/2/2023 0 Comments Cars mack truck playsetNecessary cookies are absolutely essential for the website to function properly.

If I hear the president say one more time, ‘I made a campaign promise to get out of Syria’, I’m going to throw up.” Your reaction? He tells AXIOS, “I think he,” the president, “is putting the nation at risk. KARL: So let’s take a look at what Lindsey Graham just had to say about this. The president was very clear on making sure that ISIS prisoners are not escaping, as I’ve seen you’re reporting, this is obviously a big issue we are on top of. And we’re being very clear with Turkey what’s going on. MNUCHIN: He wants - he wants to get these troops out of Syria, and determined to get out of these long-standing wars. KARL: Well one has invaded the other, to be clear. KARL: But - but what are you waiting for? Look at what we’ve just seen on the ground this is a rapidly deteriorating situation. So the president is very focused on this, he’s offered to mediate this situation. And as I’ve said, these sanctions could be starting small, they could be maximum pressure, which would destroy the Turkish economy. We are ready to go on a moment’s notice to put on sanctions. We are in daily communications with Turkey, both at the Defense Department, the State Department on very specific issues. MNUCHIN: Well let me just say, this is a complicated developing situation on one hand, fighting against the Kurds who are helping us with the fight against ISIS. Given that we've already seen 100,000 people reportedly displaced, these ISIS prisoners out, set loose, execution of some of America's Kurdish allies, what - what - what's the hold up? Why don't you just impose these sanctions? So Secretary Mnuchin, you announced Friday that you now have the authority to impose sanctions on Turkey for what we're seeing unfold. Joining us now, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. KARL: All right, Ian Pannell on the ground in Syria. foreign policy and its relationship and its status here in the Middle East is pretty disastrous. The ISIS brides have obviously left, we’ve seen ISIS prisoners flee their jails, the possibility of ISIS reemerging, we’ve got hundreds of thousands of people now on the move, and the consequences for U.N. troops that then led to the Turkish invasion. And this leads to the broader consequences, the unintended but predictable consequences of that decision to pull back U.S. forces together with the SDF have been working together to try and defeat ISIS, and that battle still goes on, but it’s overtaken by events with Turkey now invading. But the reality on the ground is that the U.S. The president has said that he believes that ISIS has been defeated. This of course will raise key questions about the future face of the U.S. troops have now withdrawn from that particular site. We now understand that Turkish-backed radical Islamist militants are also in that area and we’re hearing that U.S. That’s 700 people who broke out of a camp in an area called Ain Issa. We now believe that there were over 250 ISIS brides together with their families. One is this breakout of ISIS brides from this refugee camp just south of here. Two key events that we have to bring you up to date on. Fast moving events here in Syria, particularly this morning. IAN PANNELL, SENIOR FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT, ABC NEWS: Yes, good morning, Jon. ABC News senior foreign correspondent Ian Pannell is on the ground in Northern Syria and joins us with the latest. It's a crisis that began after President Trump announced he was withdrawing U.S. And civilians in Northern Syria are now going to U.S. official tells ABC News at least 23 ISIS prisoners are believed to have escaped since Turkey began its military offensive against the Kurds in Syria last week. But first we turn to the breaking news out of Syria. From the impeachment inquiry to a possible breakthrough with China, there is a lot to get to this morning. KARL: Good morning and welcome to THIS WEEK. Dev Tools is updated and improved with each new Chrome build. You’ll have the option to retool the websites you’re looking at right in your browser, write autocorrected CSS on the fly, run SEO and performance audits, and a whole lot more. Developer toolsĬhrome is built with developers in mind and has a massive developer toolkit (hit Cmd+Shift+C on a Mac keyboard or Ctrl+Shift+J on Windows to open Dev Tools in Chrome). But things like Google Translate, an inbuilt PDF viewer, and the omnibar that accepts both search terms and URLs are built into Chrome. You can access Google services from any browser.

ExtensionsĬhrome out of the box is a fairly bare-bones browser. If you’re doing anything advanced, you should stick with Chrome. They explain why Chrome isn’t as fast as it used to be.įrom the built-in Developer Tools, Color Picker, Flags, Chrome Headless, and Components, to the multiple release “channels” like Beta and Canary, Chrome has it all. There’s a ton of stuff under the hood.īut those extra features come at a cost. It’s why the vast majority of developers use it. FeaturesĬhrome is by far the most fully-featured browser out there. Has Google added more features to Chrome, it has slowed down.īut it’s still faster than Firefox. That’s the main reason why it took so much market share from Firefox at the time. When Chrome was released, it was blistery fast. Let’s start by breaking down the main reasons to use Chrome today. It’s not just a different coat of paint.ĭoes Firefox deserve a larger piece of the pie? Should you consider switching from Chrome to Firefox? The different browser engines means that Chrome and Firefox behave differently down to their core. By contrast, Firefox is built on an entirely different codebase, the open-source Gecko browser engine. Chromium is now used by browsers like Brave and Microsoft’s Edge. Not only was Chrome better designed for the emerging “Web 2.0” at the time, Google created an open-source code base, Chromium, for its Chrome browser.

The graphical style is completely different and more stylish to the previous SMC and there is less loading.Īs before, some games are playable by default and there are more to be unlocked. Like SMC, SMC+ is basically an elaborate menu system holding emulators and collection of ROMS again provided by VR-1 of Japan with improvements in their emulation. This feature details the European Xbox version as I do not own the PS2 version. Instead, the 'Plus' denotes that we get all the games of the previous Sonic Mega Collection with the addition of the Game Gear outings (previously included in Sonic Adventure DX as unlockable games oddly omitting Sonic 2) and some extra content (less than SMC in fact) but all at a budget price. Initial news of the new compilation with 'Plus' amended to the title immediately caused fan stir about this addition being the inclusion of cult favourite Sonic The Hedgehog CD (Sonic CD). So later, Sonic Mega Collection Plus (SMC+) is released on Xbox, Playstation 2 and PC. The recent multi-platform release of and its subsequent success (though disappointing to most Sonic fans) did ensure Sonic's path to other consoles of the time. SEGA's idea to release the back catalogue of Sonic's Mega Drive/Genesis titles proved to be a hit on the Gamecube. SONIC MEGA COLLECTION PLUS XBOX, PC and PS2 (2004, 2007) 7/2/2023 0 Comments El camino denver happy hourIt's been awhile since a Happy Hour was this fun.We look forward to our next visit to this well run, all folks inclusive, kicked back, welcoming hotspot. We are El Camino rookies so can not dive too deep into the offerings, however the guacamole and chips along with their multiple offerings of homemade salsas will light up the experience. Try the Hysteria Margarita and the Shrimp Tacos. The beer is cold and the food (primarily a Mexican influenced fare) is warm and tasty. The Lake House Kitchen & Tavern The Lake House Kitchen and Tavern offers lovely views of Sloane’s Lake as well as a daily happy hour from 3:30 to 6:30pm with drink and appetizer specials. Neighborhood hang with everyone welcome and doing their thing. Our second night we sat in a both by the kitchen/bar which gave us access to the warm and friendly staff and the flow of the place. Background music stays in the background, TV's on but not dominating. The happy hour is great, both food and margs, better yet is their welcoming spirit. It’s a laid back restaurant with a full bar and daily specials. Its a local taco joint here in highland square. Fiery shrimp diablo over rice, and tender steak ranchero with jack cheese, served with guacamole, pico de gallo, and lettuce. The room is small but comfortable and open, seating is mixed: bar stools, booths and tables. El Camino Community Tavern serves up fresh, made-from-scratch Mexican food in Highland Square. Steak, el camino queso, jack cheese, and sauteed onions and poblano peppers, all wrapped in a flour tortilla, topped with ghost chile salsa and served with served with guacamole. but bottom line this place is fun the food and drink are top notch the staff is engaging and we had a great time enjoying happy hour, several times now. Obviously much to learn about what goes on etc. We have been shopping,dining, snacking, drinking in the Highlands Lowell/32nd area for years.How did we miss this place? cided to try it out one Sunday afternoon and we are fans! Immediate positive vibe. Cherry Creek Tucked inside the Halcyon Hotel surrounded by Cherry Creek’s upscale boutiques, this all-day bistro is the perfect pit stop during a day of retail therapy in the neighborhoodparticularly since happy hour starts at 2 p.m. I referred a friend there a month later and she fell head over heels too. Specials are its specialty-popular twice-daily happy hours brunch that. If we were locals, we would be there all the time. 32nd Ave., Highland, Denver, CO 80211 (720) 889-7946. BF loved the tacos – so much that after he ate three he ordered two more! We seriously loved this place and felt immediately at home. I had it with corn tortillas because that is my preference. It was as excellent as pork-less green chili could be. I actually asked for regular green chili, but when it came out it was veggie – I didn't say anything because I was curious. Order the tacos a la carte for under 4 each, or get the F’n deal, which comes with two chicken tacos and a Tecate for 6.25. The music was the exact right level so that you can have a private conversation but don’t have to yell. Lots of light from the front windows, the bar is spacious. I wish I could have stayed to drink there all day. El Camino made me wish we had more time to spend in Denver! We had: - House beer - House margarita - 2 street tacos (Tuesday is $1 street taco day!) - Flautas with carnitas - Veggie green chili with corn tortillas - Tacos de pescado House beer and margarita were awesome. We stopped in on our way to the airport and out of Colorado. Ikes Love & Sandwiches has over 800 sandwiches for everyone, whether youre a carnivore, vegetarian, or vegan.

There are additional features that should come handy, too, such as “Dirty volumes processing”. To keep this default feature enabled, tick “Save Last Access Time” on the mounted NTFS volume. Since a writing action occurs even when you read a file by default on NTFS files systems, the feature called “Last Access Time” will keep a record of the last time a folder was opened, read or changed. The “Ignore Ownership” (for NTFS drives) option is disabled by default to allow anyone to access data on mounted NTFS volumes, but you can select it to restrict access to a specific user or group. The “Erase” option allows users to reformat the attached volume into file systems supported by macOS, while clicking on the startup option will let you select a system startup volume. If you notice any issues with the startup drive, you should use Disk Utility to fix it in Recovery mode. Since the repair requires unmounting the drive, as is the case with a startup drive, be sure to avoid using it with that disk. Just like the macOS native app, Disk Utility, Paragon NTFS for Mac has a verify option, enabling users to verify and fix errors on supported file systems. Mounting and unmounting is available for any volume or image except the macOS system drive currently in use. The latter is where you’ll find options such as mount/unmount, verify, erase and startup. The application window has two sections: volumes and operations. Featuresĭouble-clicking on the icon opens up the app management interface, where you’ll see the physical and virtual volumes attached to your Mac, including mounted DMG images. To continue using the software, you’ll need to either activate it by logging in to the MyParagon Customer Portal or via Facebook. Successful installation will prompt a restart, and then the Paragon effect takes place: it displays a simple and easy-to-understand application window, which can be laupanched through the Preferences pane, from the Applications folder or by typing “Paragon NTFS” into Spotlight. Just like its competitor, Finland-based software developer Tuxera, Paragon installs a low-level file system driver based on Paragon UFSD (Universal File System Driver) technology, which was specially developed to bridge incompatibility between Windows and macOS by providing full read/write access to any version of the NTFS file system (Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP, 2003, Vista, 7, 8 and 10). Paragon NTFS for Mac solves this problem. Paragon NTFS for Mac Release License Prompt 2 Just remember that moment when your friend brought their external drive to copy over the movies you promised, and you didn’t understand why you couldn’t drag and drop the file onto it. The problem is macOS lacks native support for NTFS: you can read data from drives formatted with the Windows NT file system, but cannot write to it. Since the introduction of Windows NT 3.1, Microsoft has used NTFS. During WWDC 2017, however, Apple announced that with macOS High Sierra, the default file system for Macs is changing to the new Apple File System (APFS), a file system optimized for flash and solid-state drives. Apple uses HFS+, also referred to as Mac OS Extended or HFS Extended. Full Interoperability Between a Mac and a Windows PCĪpple and Microsoft developed operating systems using different languages for writing files onto drives. Or, if you jump on the deal and buy a license, your purchase will be protected by Paragon Software Group’s 30-day money back guarantee. But before taking out your credit card, there’s up to 15 days for you to decide whether this is a worthy investment thanks to the available free trial. Paragon NTFS for Mac promises read/write access to any version of Windows NTFS drives in your macOS for as low as $14.99 if you purchase the five-license pack. Founded by a group of MIPT students in 1994, Germany-based software company Paragon Software Group develops hard drive management tools such as partition managers, boot managers, backup software and system duplication software alongside a driver for Mac that bridges the gap between Mac and Windows devices. If you’ve ever tried to open a Windows file on a Mac – or vice versa – then you’ll already know the frustratingly impossible task that this is, especially if you’re using the drive format NTFS or New Technologies File System. 7/2/2023 0 Comments Sauerbraten cube 2 2016Further more if it doesnt work maybe try downloading an older version of cube 2 when this command was more fresh and try it again then save it and move it to the newer version. If it still doesnt work you may look at worldio, and see if maybe there is a simple fix to what ever error you are getting. It is best to remove all the enties (pickups player spawns particles mapmodels etc) before importing. This is an older command so its posible it may throw errors or not work.
