![]() ![]() The announcer is enjoyable and has some funny quips from time to time but the music, on the other hand, is awful. Note: when you first start playing, be sure to visit the options menu and adjust the screen size to fit your TV, otherwise the on screen HUD will clog up your viewing space. Environments are varied such as the large Bleak City and the Area 51 like desert (complete with a massive UFO crashed into the ground). The cars each have a unique look to them and there’s a huge assortment of pedestrians to mow down in each level, including animals (even a penguin). I imagine motivated gamers could find like-minded gamers on Carmageddon forums and arrange play times but that’s a chore.Ĭ:MD is not Forza 6 so don’t expect to be blown away by the visuals. On that note, my recommendation is to make sure you have friends with the game or you’ll likely be stuck playing single player. There are four multiplayer modes but unfortunately, I can’t speak about any of them because on the occasions I tried no one else was playing. “Carmageddon: Max Damage is a decent return for the franchise but the driving mechanics and AI need to be tweaked a bit to improve the overall feel of the game. Yes, I understand that “in the real world”, high speeds would hinder your ability to turn, but in a game like Carmageddon, we don’t need real world physics – we need tight controls that allow us to zip along a course. Even slight adjustments while driving at high speeds can result in excessive weaving back and forth that usually leads to getting off track or crashing. A turn at high speeds almost always result in straying way off course. The vehicles often perform like they’re driving on ice. While I found some of the more traditional racing modes a bit dull, I did get a kick out of the stages where you hunted down and ran over targeted pedestrians every driver’s dream.Īn important aspects to any racing game is vehicle control and unfortunately, this is where Carmageddon fails. There is an extensive variety of game types throughout the games stages from traditional lap races to checkpoint races where you can steal extra points by wrecking your opponent. ![]() “I did get a kick out of the stages where you hunted down and ran over targeted pedestrians every driver’s dream.” Vehicles are upgradable as well and you can change a few aesthetic features like their colour and rims. Each vehicle has its own stats (strength, speed, etc) but I didn’t notice any significant difference in performance between each vehicle. In each stage, one opponent vehicle is chosen as “Stealworthy” – and all you need to do is destroy the vehicle during that stage to have it added to your garage. In addition to unlocking levels, you can also earn new vehicles. The nice thing about this system is that you don’t need to win each stage to unlock the next level. To unlock subsequent levels, you must achieve a certain amount of points. It should be noted that each stage will require you to sit through a painful load time, usually over one minute in length. The modes and locations are often repeated, but not in the same combination, so there is some variety. Each stage features a different location and game mode against five computer controlled vehicles. Career will take you through 16 single-player levels, each comprised of three to four stages. C:MD features three different modes, Career, Freeplay and Multiplayer. ![]()

Your hair sticking in different directions, limbs splayed all over the bed, drool staining your pillow, and you would still look like a goddess to Spike You’re woken up by Spike smoking a cig and watching you as you sleep, still a little sleepy Will sleep the entire night but usually wakes up to take a leakĭefinitely an early bird, waking up at 6 every morning Spike sleeps quietly, but has bouts of snoring TOO fucking much Secretly you don’t want to admit you never wanted to leave him in the first place but you both like your space Gets super upset when you do move to your side of the bed, and reaches out to you for any kind of comfortĪfter many pleas and cries about how lonely and sad he is without you, you are pressured to return by his side If you’re sleepy, and you think Spike is asleep as well, you move over to your side of the bed You were believe it’s not the most ideal position to fall asleep in (it’s more of a bonding and comfort thing before going to sleep). He absolutely loves when you lay your head on his chest, his arm wrapped around your body When in bed with you, wants to be as close to him as possible. His night light is from his holoTV, playing some smooth jazz softly in the background Oddly specific, but doesn’t like the blanket covering his feet Radiates heat naturally, so that’s a plus when you’re in deep, cold space Goes to bed with either no shirt and underwear, or a t-shirt and boxers (you think he looks cute either way) Sleeps comfortably at any temperature BUT cold, and will get super agitated and restless Can sleep anywhere at anytime (but loves to nap on the couch) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() “Restaurants have rapidly accelerated their digital transformation in recent years, and today merchants can’t compromise when it comes to technology.

![]() Then, if you switch to the SAS Program Editor in a Unix environment, you will know almost immediately why that clinical company resorted to an alternative text editor such as UltraEdit. I think the important keyword here is "Unix" and I assume that you are familiar with the SAS Enhanced Editor or any other common text editor under Windows, e.g., Notepad. Why would a company need to use this software? They are using SAS 9.4 on Unix not SAS Viya yet. Hello had a conversation with a clinical company yesterday and they mentioned they were using UltraEdit with SAS. I would write and debug programs on Turbo Pascal before transferring the code files to the school system because I loathed the VI editor that was the only one available at school. Do they "need" to? Depends on how essential the features the user wants that are not in the SAS supplied editor.įWIW, once upon a time I was in a programming class that used Pascal as the language. There were also some useful features such as customizable syntax highlighting that were not in the SAS 6 version of the editor. Since I was working in SAS and FORTRAN having a single editor that let me choose which system to submit the code files to was helpful. I discovered the programming editor EPM and quite often used that as one of the features of that editor was to submit the file to different programs. Once upon a time my SAS environment was hosted on an OS/2 operating system. ![]() So choice of an editor is one way that users can implement such. There are things some editors do that some programmers consider "essential", whether it be code formatting or regular expression search and replace or something else that others don't. ![]() Editor choices (and abilities vs limitations) is a very old programmer topic. ![]() ![]() Stearic acid creams (sometimes called vanishing creams) are o/w emulsions and have a semisolid consistency but are only 15% internal phase volume. the internal phase volume to external phase volume ratio.The consistency of emulsions varies from easily pourable liquids to semisolid creams. They are intended to be used in areas where the skin rubs against itself such as between the fingers, thighs, and under the arms.Įmulsions are also used an ointment bases and intravenously administered as part of parenteral nutrition therapy. The term “lotion” is not an official term, but is most often used to describe fluid liquids intended for topical use. Emulsions are also the bases used in lotions, as are suspensions. They can be either o/w or w/o and are generally opaque, thick liquids or soft solids. Topical emulsions are creams which have emollient properties. More typically, emulsions are used for topical administration. But sometimes, emulsions are the formulation of choice to mask the taste of a very bitter drug or when the oral solubility or bioavailability of a drug is to be dramatically increased. Oral administration can be used, but patients generally object to the oily feel of emulsions in the mouth. ![]() W/O emulsions are generally formed if the aqueous phase constitutes < 45% of the total weight and a lipophilic emulsifier is used.Įmulsions are used in many routes of administration. ![]() Conversely, where water or aqueous solutions are dispersed in an oleaginous medium, the system is known as a water-in-oil (w/o) emulsion. An o/w emulsion is generally formed if the aqueous phase constitutes > 45% of the total weight, and a hydrophilic emulsifier is used.

Tomb Raider has actually been in development for a lot longer than people know, though it did restart when they shifted from Foundation to UE5. Just heard the waters were choppy for Perfect Dark. He further explained some of the details of his story on ResetEra: Tomb Raider is full steam ahead, Perfect Dark I've heard has hit a roadbump or two. ![]() It is therefore likely that more resources can be used for the new Tomb Raider and that we can soon look forward to the continuation of Lara Croft's story. After all, they stopped the service for Marvel's Avengers. It would make sense that the development studio Crystal Dynamics now has more time and can develop the game faster. According to Ross, the development is further advanced than we knew so far and the game could be revealed this year. This news is based on info from leaker and reporter Miller Ross from exputer. ![]() Forspoken PC Requirements Revealed & They Are Shockingly Highĭo you need something to improve your PC setup? Here you will find everything: PC Accessories ! New Tomb Raider Could Be Revealed This Year.But it now actually looks like the next Tomb Raider could come sooner than we thought, as a known insider revealed some new details on the title. It was generally assumed that the game will take a long time to come out. We already know that this new game is in development, only it's still unclear when it will be released. So, it isn't surprising that there will be a new title sooner rather than later. The release of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, the latest game in the legendary franchise, already happened 4 years ago. The new Tomb Raider game could come sooner than expected. The story of Lara Croft could soon be continued, as has been reported by a known insider. Good news for all Tomb Raider fans: the next part of the series looks set to be released earlier than expected. ![]() ![]() ![]() Compared to the traditional carved style, chalet clocks depict various scenes, each featuring lots intricate little details often including woodcutters, dancers, beer drinkers, kissing couples, horses, waterwheels, and many other design elements. As you may have guessed, Chalet style clocks resemble the traditional chalets found in the alpine region of Switzerland and Bavaria. Chalet style cuckoo clocks originated in Switzerland in the late 19th century. The other style of cuckoo clocks is known as the Chalet style. With the carved style clocks, the only movement of the clock on the hour is the cuckoo bird that emerges from its enclosure and calls out its distinctive call. Carved cuckoo clocks feature elegantly hand-carved cases often featuring animal and leaf designs. The first is the carved style, also known as the traditional style. With hundreds of options to choose from, you are sure to find the cuckoo clock that matches your style and budget.Ĭuckoo clocks are available in a couple different styles. Although some clock makers might refer to their clocks as Black Forest cuckoo clocks, only clocks with the Black Forest Clock Association seal and certificate of authenticity are truly authentic Black Forest cuckoo clocks.We stock the widest selection of high quality German Black Forest cuckoo clocks, chalet cuckoo clocks, hunters cuckoo clocks and quartz cuckoo clocks, all at discount prices. Consumers can now easily date a clock because any clock with a VdS seal that has the trademark symbol, ®, was built after 2006. In 2006, the seal, designed by Black Forest artist Benno Gasch, was awarded protection by the German trademark office. The seal indicates the cuckoo clock originated from a clockmaker in Black Forest Germany who is registered with the association, and the certificate is a guarantee of origin, authenticity, quality and integrity. The VdS Certificate of AuthenticityĪuthentic Black Forest cuckoo clocks are delivered to customers with an official certificate of authenticity and a seal from the VdS. Only if a clock is driven by mechanical movements and is completely produced in the Black Forest region will it earn the VdS seal and official certificate deeming it an authentic Black Forest cuckoo clock. Most members of the VdS use industry standard REGULA movements by SBS Feintechnik, a metal processing company in Black Forest Germany that is known for its high-quality clockworks. ![]() Mechanical movement clocks are powered entirely by weights and gravity, as opposed to quartz movement clocks, which are powered by batteries. Additionally, the clock must work using mechanical movement, which is how cuckoo clocks worked centuries ago. The clock must be made entirely of wood, except the movements, which are made of hard brass. What Makes a Black Forest Cuckoo Clock AuthenticĪ cuckoo clock is deemed an authentic Black Forest cuckoo clock when the clock and all of its essential parts-everything from the clock case and the decorative details to the cuckoo pipes and the mechanical movement components-have been handmade exclusively in the Black Forest region of Germany. Anton Schneider, a clockmaker in Schonach, won the cuckoo clock of the year award in 2014. ![]() Every year, the VdS chooses a cuckoo clock that best represents the art, integrity and standards of an authentic Black Forest cuckoo clock. The members of the association formalized guidelines that determine if a clock is an authentic Black Forest cuckoo clock and created a certification process to ensure cuckoo clock owners that their clock was built using the same mechanics as the Black Forest Germany clockmakers from centuries past. ![]() In fact, about 90 percent of all producers of authentic Black Forest cuckoo clocks are members of the VdS. The Black Forest Clock AssociationĪlso known as the Verein die Schwarzwalduhr, or VdS, the Black Forest Clock Association is comprised of producers, traders and experts, as well as providers, dealers and collectors, who are passionate about preserving the time-tested traditions of Black Forest Germany clock makers. In 1987, these cuckoo clock experts formed the Black Forest Clock Association to protect the Black Forest clock making tradition. For more than 300 years, wood-carvers and clock makers in the region have been preserving the art and craftsmanship of cuckoo clock making by using the same mechanics, components and construction as clockmakers from the early 1700s. There are many types of cuckoo clocks, but only mechanical movement clocks handmade in the southwestern region of Germany known as Black Forest, or Schwarzwald, can be considered authentic Black Forest cuckoo clocks. ![]() |
