Kizer zipsplit4/4/2023 ![]() The thumb hole in the blade has the edges rounded off in a very aesthetic way, which offers a smooth feeling. You do not want this for hard work, so you don't need a hard grip on it. It grips well with dry hands, but offers less grip when your palms are sweaty, or worse, wet. Those grooves offer an okay grip, but every metal knife with a more or less smooth surface has the problem that the purchase of the fingers significantly lessens when moisture comes into play. The texture has more depth to it and it's not as shiny as one would imagine. The titanium scales have that groovy finish that gives it a suggestion of fine dining cutlery. Apart from carrying well it should also knife well. It is an EDC knife and it carries well - but that's only half of what it should do. It is easily put in the pocket, where it sits completely hidden (well, I already saidĭeep carry) and comes out without resistance (apart from the clips tension). This is done as a clip should be: It allows for deep carry, has a solid tension and no sharp edges.įurthermore, the screws that hold it in place are recessed, so they don't get any purchase on your pocket It's made of titanium and has the same finish as the back spacer - both match the blade quite closely. ![]() ![]() Let's look at the functionality of the components that make up this knife. In my humble opinion, this matches the overall look very nicely. The Blade has the same finish which is either bead blasted or a light stonewash. I tried to do it justice in these pics, but you'll have to see one up close to get what I mean. I was not impressed upon seeing this knife on the internet, but informed that it looks better in natura. The titanium scales have the typical look of bead blasted titanium, which is hard to capture with a camera. The blade itself is a little smaller than the handle would suggest and has a beautiful grind. This is done by mounting the backspacer fixed, with a little metal piece, sitting in a pocket, which acts as the backspring, hidden away on the inside of the knife. The special thing about this particular Slipjoint is called the Everflush backspacer, which does not appear to move while opening or closing the knife. We have titanium scales, a titanium backspacer and a titanium deep carry pocket clip (tip up, right hand only). It has a blade length short of 3", which makes it legal in most European countries, which it is targeted for. It is, as the name suggests, a slipjoint knife, capable of one handed opening by using the thumb hole. The one that found its way into my home is number 2, the titanium version. The MV2 original (made by the man himself) with CPM154 blade steel and G10 handles. The Kizer Zipslip Titanium with S35V blade steel and titanium handlesģ. The Kizer Zipslip G10 with N690 blade steel and G10 handles.Ģ. The Zipslip is a Michael Vagnino design which can be had in three different versions.ġ. I kept the title 'Quick Review:' for consistencies' sake, but I guess this might also be a long one. Okay, I have had some time with the Kizer now, so I feel that I can post my thoughts on this one as well.

Battle for wesnoth art4/4/2023 How important have contributions from ordinary players been for development? I noticed that the forum allows anyone to submit art for the game. This worked out well with Wesnoth, anyhow, as I soon attracted a fine artist, Francisco Munoz, and once the graphics were decent, more people started wanting to help. Then, people with the appropriate skills who like the game will contribute. I think the best way to deal with the problem is to make an early version of the game which showcases the desired gameplay. It had awful graphics, and no sound or music at all. Version 0.1 of Wesnoth was developed entirely by me, and it was ugly. When you started Battle for Wesnoth, how did you deal with this? Open source games suffer from the problem that very few people have all the abilities needed to make a good game: programming, graphics, story development, sound effects, music, and so on. We exchanged e-mails with David about the state of open source gaming, the future of Wesnoth, and the collaborative aspects of game development.ĭavid, thanks for taking our questions. ![]() The game was originally designed by David White, who is still the project's lead developer. For instance, in the "Heir to the Throne" campaign, the player follows the story of Prince Konrad, who must reclaim the throne of Wesnoth from an evil queen. Throughout each campaign, the player is informed of the progress of the story. The game is reminiscent of turn-based strategy classics such as Heroes of Might and Magic or Warlords. Even units of the same type vary in their abilities, making the tactical use of the right unit at the right time very important. Your best units can be taken from one mission to the next, "levelling up" in the process. Typically, your mission is to defeat an enemy leader, but some scenarios let you liberate a prisoner, find a lost artifact, traverse dangerous territories, and so on. Most of this art is made available under the same open source terms as the game itself.īattle for Wesnoth lets you command armies of units such as archers, swordmen, mages and gryphons during the course of a campaign consisting of multiple missions. As of May 2006, the forum where users can share and discuss their own art contained over 25,000 messages. This is where the "open source" philosophy comes truly into play: anyone can contribute art or new campaigns. While its graphics are simple by modern standards, the sheer number of units and scenarios that are available for the game is staggering. Even the multiplayer online part of the game is free (no ads or spyware either).īut Wesnoth, as it is often abbreviated, is notable not only because it is free. ![]() ![]() It was created by volunteers and can be freely shared. For the practically minded, "open-source" means that the code which the game is made of is available to anyone who wishes to use, redistribute or change it. You could instead give Battle for Wesnoth a try - an open source turn-based strategy game in a fantasy setting. If you've always wanted to live in a world populated by elves, dwarves and wizards, you don't need to pay for a World of Warcraft subscription or buy the Special Extended DVD Trilogy Edition of The Lord of the Rings just yet.

Ff14 ammonite4/3/2023 The ammonites came to an end 66 million years ago, during the planet’s most recent mass extinction event. Early ammonites had simple suture lines traced across their shells, while the sutures on species from the Cretaceous period (145 to 66 million years ago) formed intricate patterns that may have given later ammonites greater buoyancy control. Evolution and extinctionĪs ammonites evolved throughout the Mesozoic era, between 252 and 66 million years ago, their shell structures grew smaller, more tightly coiled, and more complex. They were also preyed on by larger reptiles and fish. Fossil evidence indicates they had sharp, beaklike jaws to snare prey such as plankton, crustaceans, and other ammonites. Scientists believed that ammonites, like modern cephalopods, had soft body tissue with tentacles attached to their heads for catching prey. It’s unclear whether ammonites were very efficient swimmers, though. A thin, tubelike structure called a siphuncle pumped air through the interior chambers of the shell, which scientists believe helped provide buoyancy and move ammonites through the water. The many chambers of their shells likely helped these cephalopods glide through the planet’s warm, shallow seas. They were connected to the shell by intricate lines known as sutures-the complexity of which varied tremendously throughout this animal’s evolution. ![]() The walls that separated each chamber helped protect the shell from being crushed. The animals constantly grew new shell material as they aged, but the their bodies always remained in the outer chamber. ![]() Most species, however, had coiled shells lined with progressively larger chambers separated by thin walls called septa. Some ammonites had long, straight shells, while others had helix-shaped shells. Appearance and behaviorīased on the fossil record, ammonites came in a wide range of sizes and shapes, from smaller than an inch to as large as nine feet wide. ![]() Ammonites hunted the planet’s seas until they were entirely wiped out by the same cataclysm that claimed the non-avian dinosaurs about 66 million years ago. While many species of ammonites died out in that extinction event, scientists believe the survivors diversified explosively in the million years that followed. Meanwhile, true ammonites are a suborder of ammonoids that didn’t appear until about 200 million years ago, in the Jurassic period.ĭuring their long history, ammonites survived three mass extinctions-most notably the Permian extinction, a global warming that was brought on by volcanic activity about 252 million years ago, and that killed 96 percent of the planet’s marine species. Ammonoids are related to other cephalopods-such as squid, octopuses, and cuttlefish-and they were early relatives of the modern nautilus. Scientists have identified more than 10,000 species from fossils found nearly everywhere on the planet where oceans once existed, from the Great Plains of North America to the foothills of the Himalaya and the glaciers of Antarctica.Īmmonite is actually the colloquial term for ammonoids, a large and diverse group of creatures that arose during the Devonian period, which began about 416 million years ago. With squidlike tentacles extending from their distinctive multichambered shells, the extinct marine predators known as ammonites were once among the most successful and diverse animals on Earth. Minion masters king puff4/3/2023 ![]() Most games given way via this site are games for all ages. ![]() If you're not into the games given away here, then please do find other sites that are willing to give away for free what you consider adult games. This site can only give away games that developers or game sites are willing to give away for free. I've done a lot of beta testing over the last decade and have received many games for doing so. A good tactic is to offer to beta test their games. If you can't afford to buy any games at the moment you could try contacting developers yourself, explaining your circumstances. There's lots of places where you can buy 18+ games for example, try Steam, Ubisoft or Origin for starter, or try GreenManGaming or Gamersgate.

Best looking 90s jdm cars4/3/2023 The car is technically so ordinary that there’s nothing to write about, but its incredibly simple silhouette, embellished with a few details, can evoke admiration. The angled (top) fourth generation Accord fits best with the JDM style. The older four and the seven newer were very receptive to any change, especially since they had the perfect donor in the form of a Prelude. If you think that popular cars for retired doctors are not suitable for tuning, then you are probably thinking about the sixth generation of Europeans produced in Britain. However the Prelude has been a major donor of engines (especially with the H22 series) and other Honda model gearboxes. The smaller, sportier Integra has a much better supply of JDM goods. Although the mechanical changes are not revolutionary, the car looks really good even today, especially when it goes through a series of modifications.Īs for the tuning, the Prelude is treated somewhat negligently by companies like Spoon or Mugen, which specialize in component construction for Honda. The final fifth generation (below) looks much better. The VTEC engine was introduced, thanks to which its owner can boast a power of up to 200 HP. The fourth generation (taller) was not impressed with his performance, but he found a large following. The only drawback of this car is rear drive. It is a car, on the one hand, comfortable and well-equipped, and on the other – it drives very well. In addition, the car is equipped with a four-wheel steering system. There are engines available, which range from 2 liters to a power of 140-150 hp. The third generation – as at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s – are very modern cars. However, it’s not always easy determining which brands are good and which aren’t this is why it’s important to do your research by reading reviews online or in magazines such as Consumer Reports before making any purchases.As we know Prelude, this is actually a model from the third generation (above) and above. Big companies tend to offer better quality products at lower prices than smaller companies. ![]() When shopping for an item, there’s no question that brand matters. It’s important to check this information before making any purchases so that you know exactly what your options are if something goes wrong. Most reputable retailers offer a return policy where you can send back your item within a certain time frame and get either a refund or exchange for another item. If you’re not satisfied with your purchase, or if the 90s jdm cars turns out to be different than you expected, there’s no need to worry. Also, check whether they come with warranties just in case something goes wrong with them later on down the line! Return Policy Durability assures you that your money will not go down the drain easily like most people think! This means that if you are buying 90s jdm cars, then you should look out for those with strong material so they can last longer than expected. You must ensure that the product you purchase will last longer and not break after a short period. Sometimes, you can find the same thing for less money at another store or online retailer. If a product costs more than you want to spend on it, look for something similar that’s less expensive. ![]() The best 90s jdm cars are expensive because they’re made from high-quality materials and/or have more features than their cheaper counterparts. It shouldn’t be the only consideration, but it should be part of the decision-making process. The price of a 90s jdm cars is an important consideration when buying a new one. If there aren’t many reviews on the 90s jdm cars, then it might not be as reliable as it could be. The best way to determine quality is by reading reviews from other customers who have purchased the item before. ![]() You want something that will last through regular use and won’t break down easily or stop working while you’re using it. ![]() Quality is an important consideration when shopping for 90s jdm cars. It’s also important to consider how easy each feature is to use and if they’re necessary for your particular application. But sometimes, you may want to choose a 90s jdm cars with fewer features if they are particularly important to you and they work well. The more features a product has, the better it will likely be. This includes how many features the product has, what they are and how they work. When considering a 90s jdm cars, the first thing to look at is its features. That is why in the section below, we will study some of the most important points you should keep in mind when buying a 90s jdm cars. It is not always easy to decide which are the best designs, and often it depends on personal preferences. When buying a 90s jdm cars, we have to consider a lot of things: the design, durability and material, among other important factors that make a 90s jdm cars really good. What To Consider When Choosing Funny Vest Patches ![]() and a better bang for your buck than Coachella to get to let loose for five days straight, LIB is your gateway festival for those wanting to go off the grid, see a stacked lineup of music, pretend you’re at sleepaway camp and get as weird as you’d like. (Yes, we’re still talking about a music festival here.)Īll in all, only a few hours outside of L.A. At the end of each day when a stage’s sets are over, a “clean up” song even plays, encouraging folks to dispose of fallen trash on their way out. Attendees are just as ready to get rowdy on new levels as they are to take personal responsibility towards environmental sustainability. ![]() LIB is also extremely green-maybe one of the greenest festivals in America. Yeah, their cups and cutlery are compostable, but there’s an even bigger differentiator: Those who flock in to LIB also seem fully cognizant of their role there when it comes to leaving Buena Vista Lake how they found it-trash-free. Instead of sticking with their crew, people mingle around plenty with strangers, because that’s the kind of neighborly ethos the festival sets. ![]() Positive vibes persist across the dusty dance floors, and everything-including the crowd-smells like patchouli oil. Woogie is for techno and deep house devotees getting down to the likes of Damian Lazarus and Shiba San, and at Lightning, heavy-hitter headliners like Disclosure, Flying Lotus and Big Gigantic take the helm. The Thunder stage booms with low-end rowdiness thanks to acts like G Jones. The energy shifts as each stage erupts with bass. Attendees can keep entertained all day with yoga, meditation, body healing (think: accupuncture), fermentation cooking lessons at the Learning Kitchen, sex lectures at the Beacon and abstract art classes at the Artclave. Others may wander the festival grounds to shop among vendors or hunt for an acai bowl or a crepe from the mostly vegan and vegetarian food trucks.īy late afternoon and long into the night, groups come back from their campsites ready to dance and boasting decked-out totems (stick-topping crafts used to keep groups together and strike up conversations, like just how much hot glue and bedazzling went into their creation). Lightning in a Bottle encapsulates the thrill summer camp used to bring, only it’s for adults who are here to party-and boost their well-being, too. Others are just sporting bathing suits for now, ready to recharge by the lake or hop from one extracurricular activity to another. Worried about showering at Lightning in a Bottle? Psst: Last year they were sponsored and stocked by the hippest soap brand, Dr. At Lightning in a Bottle, you’ll forget all about your cell phone and dig down into your spiritual consciousness, but without the same deep-in-the-Nevada-desert, “Kumbaya” sort of commitment as Burning Man.įestivalgoers are awake at their campsites and getting ready for the day in expressive outfits like faux-fur jackets over a kaleidoscope of bralettes, bohemian harem pants and leather harnesses.

Devil backbone4/2/2023 ![]() There are no contraindications within the indicated daily dose since the devil’s backbone is not classified as a toxic plant but it is essential to consult a doctor before starting its consumption. Children and people with hypoglycemia and low blood pressure should not consume this plant. The consumption of the devil’s backbone plant is contraindicated in pregnant women, as it can interfere with uterine contractions. Therefore, a daily dose of a maximum of 30 grams of the leaf is recommended, since ingestion of a higher dose can cause paralysis and muscle contractions. There is a risk of poisoning with consumption higher than 30 grams/day. The application on wounds is also traditionally used to accelerate the healing process.īefore starting the consumption of devil’s backbone, a doctor should be consulted and the certification that it is the correct plant is essential, so as not to run the risk of ingesting plant species that are toxic to humans. No more than 30 g of devil’s backbone should be consumed per day, due to the risk of toxic effects in the body with high doses. The popular use of devil’s backbone is made by consuming its leaves in the form of juices, teas, or raw in salads. Medicinal propertiesĭevil’s backbone has anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, healing, analgesic and potentially anti-tumor actions. However, so far there is not enough scientific evidence of this benefit with the direct consumption of the leaves of the plant. It can be effective in fighting cancer because it has a high cytotoxic property, by attacking cancer cells. Because it has sedative actions, it is also used in patients with psychiatric illnesses, such as panic attacks and schizophrenia. Local songwriters still met every Wednesday at the club to perform their original material, and a variety of other musicians played an acoustic jam session on Friday nights.Devil’s backbone is popularly used in the treatment of inflammatory and infectious diseases, diarrheal episodes, fever, cough, and wound healing. In the 2010s Devil’s Backbone Tavern was open every day. Actors Jason Earl and Crispin Glover filmed parts of their comedy Drop Dead Sexy on location at the tavern in 2005. Musician, author, and politician Kinky Friedman has been known to stop by. Many other entertainers have visited Devil’s Backbone Tavern. According to Snider, the song has served as a personal reminder as to why he chose to pursue a musical career. After going inside to ask for directions, Snider decided to stay and play for the patrons there instead. He never did locate that bar, but he did stumble across the Devil’s Backbone Tavern. Snider recalled driving along the Texas Hill Country backroads and trying to find a bar in which he was scheduled to perform. One of the most prominent of these is singer–songwriter Todd Snider, who wrote the song “Ballad of the Devil’s Backbone Tavern,” which he included on his album Happy to Be Here (2000). Some of the artists who have performed at Devil’s Backbone Tavern have acknowledged the venue through their song lyrics. In 2010 Devil’s Backbone Tavern was owned by Helen and Rick Ferguson, who began hosting live performances there in 1994. By the late twentieth century and into the early twenty-first century, the club had become a haven for singer–songwriters. In the 1950s a dancehall was constructed at the venue, although it is no longer in use. ![]() Whether or not these stories are true, the Devil’s Backbone Tavern certainly has long been a favorite “haunt” for musicians and music fans alike. Others say that the tavern itself is haunted, with some patrons claiming to have encountered ghostly visitors. ![]() Some people even claim to have witnessed an entire Civil War battle on the Devil’s Backbone. At Bahamas newest waterpark, Baha Bay at Baha Mar, it all starts with an unforgettable drop, as a trap door opens and sends you plummeting into a body slide. The most famous of these stories describes a woman who walks down the road and is carrying a baby and calling out for her husband. Ghost stories are an important part of the history of both Devil’s Backbone and Devil’s Backbone Tavern. The Devil’s Backbone Tavern is situated on one of the most picturesque spots along this earthquake fault, providing the historic venue with a spectacular view of the surrounding Texas Hill Country. The powerful earthquake helped separate the land into two different regions, the Edward’s Plateau to the west and the lower Gulf Coastal Plains to the east. ![]() Stretching from Wimberley to Blanco, the ruggedly scenic area known as Devil’s Backbone resulted from an earthquake that occurred in the region more than thirty million years ago. Devil’s Backbone Tavern is known not only for its long-running live music performances but also for what some believe is its haunted history. Devil’s Backbone Tavern was established in 1932 and is located at 4041 Ranch Road 32 in Comal County, Texas. AuthorWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.
