![]() The result is that the ski has lots of pop as you combine turns on and off trail, grips exceptionally well on hardpack, and still can put a lot of power down with two sheets of metal. Notable tweaks to the design, including greater use of carbon fiber and a lighter-weight front end that features less plastic and more wood, increased versatility. The mid-width “94” is our favorite of bunch for all-mountain use thanks to its sturdy yet fun personality. Updating a top-selling model is risky business, but we think Nordica nailed the latest Enforcer line. What we don’t: A little narrow for powder days. What we like: About as well-rounded and versatile as it gets in the all-mountain category.

It’s a crowded all-mountain field, but below we’ve picked the best models for the 2023-2024 season. In general, those who ski primarily on the East Coast or in the Midwest should look in the 80- to 95-millimeter range, and those who ski out West will want a waist width from 90 to 105 millimeters. The definition of “all-mountain” varies by manufacturer and retailer but typically includes skis from 80 to 105 millimeters underfoot that can both carve on hardpack and provide float in fresh snow. Distance from hood to gripper: 18" (the longest distance of any 1-Pc.If you're searching for that elusive one-ski quiver, this is the category to find it.All the finer points: Overall length: 19 3/4".No more arrows making noise, vibrating loose or falling out of your quiver! By simply moving the ArrowWedges in or out, you get a custom grip in each individual arrow slot. The exclusive Bulldog Gripper System is different because you can adjust the grip for each individual arrow.

![]() From here, Link proceeds to the Woods of Mystery, where the layout changes for each day of the cycle. With the Goron Mask, the speedrunner can proceed as Goron Link to West Clock Town and dance with the scarecrow to skip to the Dawn of the Second Day. ![]() To boil it down, the game's code is corrupted by the actor (the deku bubble) and forced to retrieve code that was written in the save file name (Fpr). Fpr allows the player to equip the Fierce Diety's Mask, the Goron Mask and the Hookshot to the C-buttons. Fpr can then be set to specific values that represent items that can be equipped to the C-buttons (the little yellow arrows on the original Nintendo 64 controller). This allows the player to scroll through the game's memory to the save file name. This corruption places the menu cursor in the game's pause menu in a row it shouldn't be. Here is where the name of the save file comes back in. Now that this space in the memory is corrupted, the bubble's XY values will overwrite the place in the game's memory where the code for the puff of smoke disappearing was stored, triggering an instance of ACE. When done correctly, the puff of smoke from the popped balloon will load into the same place in the game's memory where the Deku bubble was. Link must then catch one of the Clock Town Bombers, pop a balloon and blow a Deku bubble all on the same frame while the bubble is positioned in specific XY coordinates. However, that changed in November 2021, when glitch hunter and speedrunner Türkenheimer posted a video titled " SRM in 1st Cycle is possible." After a couple of weeks and with the help of fellow speedrunner MrCheeze, Türkenheimer posted " Human in First Cycle," showing a practical method to use this exploit in a Majora's Mask speedrun.įirst, the name of the save file must contain the characters Fpr (case sensitive), optimally at the end to save time later. RELATED: Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Creator Confesses to Hating One of the Game's Most Iconic Mechanics The only problem with using SRM and ACE in Majora's Mask is that none of the previously established methods could be performed using Deku Link, and since Link is stuck in this form for the entirety of the First Day Cycle, it made the game's long introduction impossible to skip and impervious to shortcuts. We also have some great things in the works for bringing a Guinness World Records twist to these high-speed challenges, so be ready for even more speedy videogame record action.For Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, this sometimes means manipulating the XYZ coordinates of an actor to replace another code in the game's memory. Guinness World Records is partnering with to acknowledge some of the world’s most exceptional players. If there is a game you’ve played and beaten in 8-10 hours, there is a high probability that has a leaderboard for it, with someone at the top who’s beaten it in 20 minutes or less. Popular website is the place where these gamers gather. The enthusiastic and nurturing community is one of the reasons speedrunning is so popular. If you are just staring out, a master will tell you to watch others and learn from them. Speedrunners delight in sharing information about how to improve times. Every game has its own community of players who have spent hundreds of hours finding glitches that allow them to skip entire levels or developing new movement techniques to move faster though them. The great thing about speedrunning is that each videogame has a different story. Here’s a hint for the next one: It’s for a game originally released in 1985 and its hero’s likes to dress himself in red. We will be featuring more speedruns on our YouTube channel in the coming weeks, so watch out for them. But in the end, discovering these short cuts is what a speedrunner lives for. It would have taken players uncountable hours of experimentation, pushing Link against every wall and joint in every conceivable way, just to find that one glitch. Advertisementsīut then miraculously, Link will land at the end of the game, right at Ganon’s feet. ![]() There are even points when the player breaks the game.ĭuring Torje’s record breaking Ocarina run, you will see Link breach through a dungeon wall, so that he looks like he is falling though parts of the game that were never meant to be seen, into a weird nothingness. ![]() Like a racing driver finding the perfect racing line of a track. You begin to appreciate that the players every action has been rigorously tested to ensure it is the most efficient. It can be hypnotic to see someone play a game with such precision. Right now, you can watch an interview with Norwegian gamer Torje Amundsen on our YouTube channel, who beat The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in 16 minutes 58.366 seconds. ![]() After the avatar has been created, enter a name for the avatar, your name and email address and your account is created. As for clothing, there were around 50 different pieces to choose from including tops, bottoms, and shoes. The range from plain everyday ponytails to hip asymmetrical bobs to voluminous curls. The hairstyles came in natural colors as well as neon pinks, reds, blues, and purples. Maneuvering the character while designing was clunky, and it was difficult to see what hairstyles and accessories like earrings looked like from the side because the character focuses on the user during the turn instead of looking straight ahead. The user starts off with only eight different skin shades to choose from and nine “heads”, or premade features. Now if a product cannot be found using the IMVU API, an attempt to find that product by scraping the IMVU product page will be made.Avatar creation is relatively simple. It only required a minor change to the front end, but the back end (Triggerless API) required quite a few additions. I modified Expose Outfits so now products that are hidden in the catalog are revealed. And I plan on writing a more comprehensive post about the Triggerless APIs, so you can use and abuse them to your heart’s content. I’m sure people will start using it once they find out about it. I have some novel ideas for this and plan to pursue this soon. In the near future, I plan on modifying this behavior so when a product can’t be probed using the IMVU APIs, we can fall back to the web scraping technique to gather as much information as possible. At the time of this writing, products that are hidden in the catalog don’t show up in the results. Another advantage is that I can modify the intermediate behavior between a calling application and IMVU. ![]() And because the Triggerless APIs call the IMVU APIs using credentials that have Access Pass, even someone who lacks AP can learn a thing or two about what other AP avatars are wearing. One is that calling the Triggerless APIs requires no authentication. This gives several advantages over calling the IMVU APIs directly. The Triggerless APIs act as a sort of proxy to the underlying IMVU APIs. But the results in the Expose-Outfits tool will start populating more quickly, so there is nearly immediate feedback.Īnother thing to note is that Expose-Outfits is using my custom Triggerless APIs. The gnarly URL has the logged-in user’s avatar ID first, and then the others in ID order from lowest to highest, which is also chronological order of when they joined. What used to take a couple minutes with IMVUOutfits can be accomplished in a couple seconds using my new Expose Hidden IMVU Outfits tool.Īnd interesting side effect of asynchronous execution is that the avatars who are wearing the fewest products will return results more quickly than avatars who are wearing lots of items. React also takes advantage of asynchronous execution, so you can be downloading multiple streams of data, and progressively updating the user interface as more data becomes available. ![]() Most of the execution is done in the user’s browser, not on the server. I’m using React, a JavaScript library that allows for component-based user interfaces. In contrast, my new tool does very little on the server. By comparison, APIs are more likely to not change, because their specific purpose is to deliver raw-ish data, not a user interface. So that could become a maintenance nightmare. Every time IMVU decides to change something that affects the web site, it can mess with your code that depends on certain assumptions. Another advantage of the APIs is that they are typically more stable than web page scrapes. The new APIs are faster and easier to work with. I believe it was created before IMVU introduced their JSON APIs, so it probably involves a lot of web page scraping. The original tool does everything at the server. It’s a great idea, but it’s hit or miss in operation. The issue is that the IMVUOutfits tool often crashes, and it can take minutes to complete. You right-click in the IMVU chat window, select “View products in this scene”, copy the URL, and paste it into a text box and click “GO”. It’s a bit of a clone of the tool created by, which does much of the same thing. ![]() I’ve introduced a new tool to expose hidden IMVU outfits. 2020 was a rough year for reasons above and beyond the COVID mess. It’s been over a year since I added anything to this blog. And in truth, you aren’t saving much money w/ the Xtreme III compared to the Mach 3. ![]() My contacts are disposable & still have the same quality as non-disposable. Yes, I know it is disposable & will sacrifice quality, but it still is low quality in my opinon to what a disposable razor should be. It was just thrown together with 3 blades. One can tell that the Xtreme III wasn’t built & developed with such time, care, & money like the Mach 3. And the Xtreme III shave is pretty painful compared to the Mach 3. Washing out hair is a chore due to how close the razor blades are. Not as much comfort padding as on Gillette razors, but the shape of the handle is better then the Mach 3, thus giving you more control. One thing I did like was the handle shape. There are no really hi-tech features on the Xtreme III that are found on the Mach 3 or other high quality razors. It doesn’t have nearly the protection as the Mach 3 or Sensor, and isn’t as sharp of course. However, it feels like shaving with a disposable razor because that is what it is. It can do the job in 1-2 strokes, like the before mentioned Mach 3 & Sensor. I have tried their Protector & Tracer and to shave smooth like the Mach 3 and Gillette Sensor do in one to two strokes over the area, the Protector & Tracer does the job in 3-4 strokes or more. Great ideas, but not developed to the best of their ability. And as always in my opinion, Schick is behind. This is Schick’s new baby…their attempt at competing with the already legendary Gillette Mach 3. I’ve been fortunate enough to receive 2 reviews from readers about this product. Still, it’s definitely the best disposable razor I’ve used, and would function well as a regular-use razor if required. I’m also not entirely comfortable using disposables regularly, as it seems a waste to throw away the entire thing when you’re done, as opposed to just throwing away a blade. The initial investment is lower, but Mach 3’s blades are cheaper per use than a new pack of Extreme III disposables. Price-wise, I don’t see much advantage to the Extreme III compared to the Mach 3. I did tend to cut myself a bit more with the Extreme III though. At first it looked like it might be a little flimsy, but I didn’t have any problems using it at all.Īs I said earlier, the shave was comfortable, and skin irritation levels were almost as low as the Mach 3. It’s the most substantial handle of any disposable razor I’ve used, but it’s definitely lightweight when compared to the Mach 3 handle. They also tended to gunk up a bit more than the Mach 3 blades, but they aren’t hard to clean out. They didn’t seem as durable as the Mach 3 blades to me, but for a disposable razor they’re fine. ![]() The blades on the Extreme III are pretty good, and I felt the shave I got was close and comfortable. It’s primary competition in the shaving market is the Gillette Mach 3, so most of my comparisons will be between those two blades. The commercials I’ve seen show tennis player Andre Agassi shaving his face and head, which is nice. The Schick Extreme III has been marketed based on two primary qualities: it’s a three blade razor, and it’s conveniently disposable. ![]() ![]() Omega was also expected to provide a front end to the Microsoft SQL Server. It was going to include the "EB" Embedded Basic language, which was going to be the language for writing macros in all Microsoft applications, but the unification of macro languages did not happen until the introduction of Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). It was confirmed in 1988 that a database product for Windows and OS/2 was in development. In the late 1980s Microsoft developed its own solution codenamed Omega. Microsoft's first attempt to sell a relational database product was during the mid 1980s, when Microsoft obtained the license to sell R:Base. In the 1980s, Microsoft Access referred to an unrelated telecommunication program that provided terminal emulation and interfaces for ease of use in accessing online services such as Dow Jones, Compuserve and electronic mailbox. With Microsoft's purchase of FoxPro in 1992 and the incorporation of Fox's Rushmore query optimization routines into Access, Microsoft Access quickly became the dominant database for Windows-effectively eliminating the competition which failed to transition from the MS-DOS world. Microsoft Access was the first mass-market database program for Windows. Prior to the introduction of Access, Borland (with Paradox), Ashton-Tate (with dBase, acquired by Borland in 1991) and Fox (with FoxPro) dominated the desktop database market. Visual objects used in forms and reports expose their methods and properties in the VBA programming environment, and VBA code modules may declare and call Windows operating system operations. Like other Microsoft Office applications, Access is supported by Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), an object-based programming language that can reference a variety of objects including the legacy DAO (Data Access Objects), ActiveX Data Objects, and many other ActiveX components. Software developers, data architects and power users can use Microsoft Access to develop application software. It can also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and databases. Microsoft Access stores data in its own format based on the Access Database Engine (formerly Jet Database Engine). ![]() It is a member of the Microsoft 365 suite of applications, included in the Professional and higher editions or sold separately. Microsoft Access is a database management system (DBMS) from Microsoft that combines the relational Access Database Engine (ACE) with a graphical user interface and software-development tools. 4th Generation: This model gained the high-resolution Retina Display screen, two cameras including one that records video at 720p HD, and support for FaceTime.Available in 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB models.

This can increase your risk of reinfection. This means even if you get infected again, your immune response should help protect you from severe illness and hospitalization.Īs the virus evolves, new variants with the ability to evade your existing immunity can appear. ![]() Protection against severe COVID-19 illness generally lasts longer than protection against infection. Under the CDC’s guidance, anyone with COVID-19 should stay away from other peopleincluding others in their householdfor five full days, or longer if they were seriously ill or symptoms. People with weakened immune systems who get an infection may have a limited immune response or none at all. This immune response can protect you against reinfection for several months, but this protection decreases over time. New versions of Omicron, known as BA.4 and BA.5, are once. But you can still make a plan to get through the course of illness. Testing for COVID-19 Use viral tests like PCR or rapid at-home tests to determine if you are sick with COVID-19. Once you have had COVID-19, your immune system responds in several ways. Having Covid can be a wildly confusing experience. Some of these symptoms are very common and can occur due to many conditions other than COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus called SARS CoV-2. People may experience sudden fever or chills, cough, shortness of breath, loss of taste or smell, and other symptoms. Staying up to date with COVID-19 vaccine and treating COVID-19 illness within a few days of when symptoms start decreases your risk of experiencing severe illness.
