7/6/2023 0 Comments Flow free bridges 9x9 level 6![]() ![]() I finished all 300 levels perfectly in a single day - while traveling and doing work. Each page, I was presented with a variation of the puzzle and each one was solved in mere seconds. It was as if I was reading a book, not playing a game. I kept thinking the game would get harder, but it didn't. The bright colors on the black background look awesome.įlow Free: Bridges was not a challenge. You cannot mistake Flow Free for any other game. I could easily see why people seem to love the game and why my coworker would be commenting on it. The interface is great once you're inside the game and it's pretty. I have had few, if any, clumsy finger mistakes and even when I did, there is an undo button when you stray too far from an acceptable path (in other words, you disrupt one path with another). The game is very responsive to the player's touch. Let me start with a major positive-Flow Free: Bridges (and Flow Free) are beautifully done. I obsessed over the Cut the Rope puzzles until I finished all of those (and the "Experiments" pack). I was pretty happy with the prospect of a new puzzle game. This variant by the game company included a single "bridge" in the puzzle. ![]() Instead, I started with Flow Free: Bridges. And normally, iPhone games are only one dollar, so I can afford to make a mistake every now and then. I understand the "try before you buy" model, but I trust reviews enough to know what I'm going to like. I don't like looking at ads and I can be skeptical about DLC. I have a rule about free games, which is that I mainly don't play them. Each puzzle has a single solution (I presume some of the larger grids have a couple of options, but not many), and the game is elegantly displayed with bright colors on a black background. The game has a simple concept - connect like-colored nodes and fill the entire grid without intersecting. It didn't take long to discover what she was talking about.įlow Free is a free (ad-supported / DLC-supported) puzzle application for touchscreen phones (it looks like the game is available on all of the major platforms). They connect brightly colored lines or something. A coworker that commutes from Brooklyn was telling me about this hot new game, "Everyone is playing it. ![]()

![]() ![]() A motorcycle racing game where you could punch, kick and attack your fellow riders with baseball bats and nunchucks? Where shunting an opponent into oncoming traffic was actively encouraged? Add a splash of Cannonball Run-inspired illegality and you have what co-lead designer Randy Breen called “more of an entertaining game than a pure driving simulation.” It’s strange to think of a time when Electronic Arts made solid games with minimum evil, but the arrival of Road Rash in September 1991 on the Sega Mega Drive created a fresh fusion of styles within the always-crowded driving genre. If you want to put Viper in his place next time out, then let me take you on a journey back to the flannel-tinted era of 1991… 13th place is my reward for surviving almost ten miles of undulating highways.Īnd if that vignette doesn’t make you want to immediately jump on your bike and try again, then you’ll never understand the unique appeal of Road Rash. Crack! My stamina is already on fumes, chipped away by that persistent highway patrolman a few miles back and that moment with the sudden hill and the family sedan I ploughed into.Īs I cartwheel one direction and my bike in another, close enough to the finish to see the two-frame animations of the waiting crowds, I have enough time to see Viper streak over the line before another dozen bikers scream past. I don’t see the swinging baseball bat until it connects with my visor. If I time this just right, I can force him out and into its path, and then I’m the one surrounded by swooning leather-jacketed babes while he eats a not inconsiderable amount of asphalt. There’s a slow-moving car in the outside lane. First place, $3,750 prize money and finally enough in the bank to buy that Diablo 1000 I’d been lusting after since day one. Just 0.2 miles to go until the Peninsula finish line. ![]() 7/6/2023 0 Comments Line of reflection![]() Lakatos I (1970) History of science and its rational reconstructions.

Leaves are 1 to 2 inches (2.5–5.5 cm) long and 0.75 to 1.5 inches (2–4 cm) wide. Leaves are shiny, ovate or oval in shapes, not branched, and grow on alternating sides of branches. Depending on the cultivar, tree growth habit varies from broad and spreading to very narrow and upright canopies. Branches are zigzagged, with paired spines in young trees. Jujube is a deciduous fruit/ornamental tree, 15 to 30 ft in height, with very hard, strong wood. ![]() Other scattered trees in Las Cruces, Los Lunas (Valencia County, elevation 4,856 ft), Albuquerque (Bernalillo County, elevation 5,312 ft), Tucumcari (Quay County, elevation 4,816 ft), and Española (Rio Arriba County, elevation 5,595 ft) are all growing and producing well. There are two jujube trees at the old LC Ranch headquarters at Gila, NM, which were planted around 1910, and they are still producing. A homeowner in Cliff, NM (Grant County, elevation 4,500 ft), has jujubes near his house, and they have been producing a prolific crop every year for the past 40 years. There are jujube trees in the South Valley area outside Albuquerque that were planted in 1928. ![]() There are 60-year-old sour jujube and regular jujube trees (cultivars unknown) on the NMSU Las Cruces campus (Doña Ana County, elevation 4,000 ft). In New Mexico, jujube trees can be found growing in diverse locales around the state. Locke from the Southern Great Plains Field Station at Woodward, OK, wrote, “This jujube is little known, but is highly dependable fruit of high food value.” Shortly after the importation, Meyer and other scientists realized the potential of jujubes in the U.S., especially in the Southwest where sunshine is plentiful, summers are hot, and the climate is semiarid. Scientists evaluated those jujube introductions until the 1960s, and a few selections were developed at Chico, CA. Later, they were distributed to other USDA stations in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Georgia, and Florida. Meyer introduced the first group of commercial cultivars to the Plant Introduction Field Station at Chico, CA, in 1908. Most of the early imports were from seedlings. Rixford brought jujubes from France and introduced them to California and nearby states. from Europe by Robert Chisholm and planted in Beaufort, NC, in 1837. Jujubes were first introduced to the U.S. The dried fruit of the date palm ( Phoenix dactylifera) looks similar to that of jujube, but botanically they are not related to each other. Although it varies with location, jujube usually starts to leaf out in March to April, blooms in May to July, and matures in August to October. mauritiana Lam), which is a tropical plant of the same genus, whereas the Chinese jujube is a cold-hardy deciduous plant. ![]() The jujube can be easily confused with the Indian jujube ( Z. Jujubes belong to the Rhamnaceae (buckthorn) family. There are still semi-cultivated sour jujubes like ‘Tiger Eye’ big round sour jujube and ‘Yanjishan’ big sour jujube, which are popular in Beijing and Shandong Provinces, China, respectively. In ancient times, people selected and cultivated sour jujubes with bigger fruit, and it gradually became the cultivated modern jujube species ( Z. Botanically, it is derived from its wild relative sour jujube or wild jujube ( Z.

(More on Initiative in a moment.) To determine the success of an action, the Acting Value (AV) is cross-referenced against the Opposing Value (OV) on the Action Table to determine the target number for the 2d10 roll. This isn't a game-killer by any means, but it's a little awkward not having the same human range for every attribute to use as an easy universal benchmark.Īlmost all MEGS rolls aside from Initiative are 2d10 added together with no modifiers. Also, the exponential scale results in more concretely scalable Attributes like Strength having a smaller human range than more nebulous Attributes like Intelligence and Dexterity. ![]() ![]() The attendant disadvantages are the relative lack of differentiation between normal humans and the inability of the scale to model "close" scores - if Wonder Man is second only to Thor in Strength, then using the BoH/MEGS system, he's either half as strong or exactly as strong as Thor. This has the advantage of modeling a wide range of APs on a manageable scale, from the most mundane person on the street to planet-juggling superhumans. ![]() This means, for example, that a hero with a Strength of 5 is twice as strong as one with a Strength of 4. So, this time around, the rules get top billing.)Įvery ability in Blood of Heroes is measured in Action Points (APs), with every AP doubling the previous level. However, with all due respect to the writers, I doubt the majority of people buying this book do so for the new non-DC setting. ( Note: Ordinarily, I cover the setting first. But is the resulting book worth your money? Let's find out. In Blood of Heroes: Special Edition (hereafter "BoH:SE"), Pulsar Games has combined the rules and setting information from both books into a single repackaged, re-edited whole. The first edition of Blood of Heroes took a critical beating that was mitigated somewhat with the release of the Sidekick Sourcebook supplement. Time will tell if it's enough to improve upon the sticky combat of the last Age of Heroes game, but with these changes and a serious brush up of the visuals it's clear this instalment is more than a hastily churned out sequel, and Qplaze has clearly made an effort to right the wrongs of the previous iteration.Blood of Heroes: Special Edition is the post-DC Heroes, post-Mayfair incarnation of MEGS, a.k.a. But what we're most pleased to hear about is that the interface has undergone a much needed evolution and an interactive cursor has been added. Meanwhile, magic is set to play a much bigger role than in the previous game and you're able to take an enemy's troops under control, as well as make your own troops invisible. There is also the option to choose the sex and class of your chosen hero a must for any self-respecting RPG these days. ![]() The game appears to have undergone a considerable overhaul with the addition of new races to play as, each with unique abilities and special characteristics. But there are plenty of other changes, too. So, on this occasion an army of undead is thrown into the mix for good measure. All are equal in the end, killers will join their victims, and lions will lie near the lambs." "Death always tells, and only bones of great armies will remain on the battlefields, and the tombs of great lords will be covered with weed. "There are immortal legends and stories – but heroes are mortal," begins the press release. If there is one universal truth about the world of video games, it's that an orc would not spit on an elf if it was on fire and, similarly, an elf would rather sleep on stinging nettles than hang out with an orc.įantasy games tend to have an extremely involved plot based around this time honored mutual dislike and much like its predecessor, Age of Heroes IV: Blood and Twilight spins a convoluted yarn to set the scene for its turn-based strategy/RPG action. ![]() 7/5/2023 0 Comments Yellow pages opt out.com![]() ![]() Yellowbook Logo used in the United Statesīusiness listings used for publication are obtained by several methods. In the United States, the predominant yellow pages are DEX One's DEX, the AT&T Real Yellow Pages, Yellowbook, and the Superpages. Available advertising space varies among publishers and ranges from bold names up to four color twin page ads ("double trucks"). Advertising may be sold by a direct sales force or by approved agencies (CMR's). The yellow-pages publishers profit by selling advertising space or listings under each heading.

In the United States, it refers to the category, while in some other countries it is a registered name and therefore a proper noun. Today, the expression yellow pages is used globally in both English-speaking and non-English speaking countries. Donnelley created the first official Yellow Pages directory. The name and concept of "yellow pages" came about in 1883, when a printer in Cheyenne, Wyoming, US working on a regular telephone directory, ran out of white paper and used yellow paper instead. However, in the United States, neither the name nor the logo was registered as trademarks by AT&T, and they are freely used by several publishers. In many countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and elsewhere, "Yellow Pages" (or any applicable local translations), as well as the "Walking Fingers" logo first introduced in the 1970s by the Bell System-era AT&T, are registered trademarks, though the owner varies from country to country, usually being held by the main national telephone company (or a subsidiary or spinoff thereof). The traditional term "yellow pages" is now also applied to online directories of businesses. The directories were originally printed on yellow paper, as opposed to white pages for non-commercial listings. The yellow pages are telephone directories of businesses, organized by category rather than alphabetically by business name, in which advertising is sold.

The customer devised a clever solution which was slip a pair of modified tuner washers beneath the head of the stud. ![]() Because the ears were thinned down, there was a pretty healthy-size gap between the ear and the stud. The studs are the later 1950's style which have a larger gap between the head and the lower collar. Here is a photo of a 1954 Goldtop with a MojoAxe tailpiece which has had the bottom sanded down. Its not the perfect solution because the material gets pretty thin in the area of the set screws, but it does help to alleviate the high-action problem. This modification actually does lower the string height by about 1.2mm. My solution was to sand down the bottom-side of a standard (thick-ear) MojoAxe tailpiece. I've had a couple of customers with 53/54 goldtops contact me because they cannot get the action low enough even with the stock thin-ear tailpiece bottomed out. To intonate the non-lightning bolt bridge it’s necessary to kick the low E side of the bridge WAY back, which looks a little odd. This is due to a shallow neck angle, not the tailpiece. I recommend the MOJOAXE lightning bolt bridge, intonates perfectly. ![]() Some 1953-1954 wraptail Goldtops have too high of action even with the tailpiece bottomed out against the body.

How can such top-notch software that is directly competing with the big guns still be free? Will it last forever? We will have to wait until then, but for now, rest assured that MuseScore has everything you need completely for free. What makes Sibelius attractive to me is that they have addressed the tasks that eat up so much of my time in MuseScore. You should not use MuseScore because there are slight inconsistencies in the graphic design of some of its elements, and you should not use Sibelius because you have to spend a few extra seconds hunting for UI elements the first time you use it.

Steinberg didnt have an issues getting it done for Dorico. Look at the Key Editor they were aiming to add to MuseScore 4.0. I do think it will end Finale, though, eventually. Sibelius can beam notes to notes and rests and beam over rests. MuseScore cannot develop quickly enough to keep pace with Dorico or Sibelius - barring severe reductions in R&D funding for those packages.
