While lacing up the boots, the locking feature allows for different lacing tightnesses for the foot and the ankle and adding more function to the design. Breaking in the Salomon Quest 4D Gore-Tex Forces 2 EN tactical shoes (Joel Mason) I then put on a pair of crew socks, with a pair of wool socks over top, before getting the Salomons on. Flipping them over at the half-hour mark allowed both sides of the toe to get wet from the inside. I needed to submerge the boots and soak them from the inside, as the water repellant applied from the factory was working too well, and the boots were actually floating in the bathtub for the entirety of the soak. When the leather gets soaked through, it allows more give in the material. The solution to this was simple: Soak them in water for an hour. I did find them to be a bit tight on the sides of the toe and ball region of my feet, even with some walking. I have a wide foot, but with these boots not having a wide option, I was concerned about the toe box, where most of my issues with normally sized boots arise. On the first day of testing and wear, I put the boots on simply to test how they fit out of the box. Salomon Quest 4D Gore-Tex Forces 2 EN tactical shoes (Joel Mason) How we tested the Salomon Quest 4D GTX Forces 2 EN tactical shoes I’ve never owned a pair of boots both this light and this rugged before, so I am happy with the weight. At a total weight of 22.5 ounces, or about 640 grams (for those of you not using freedom units), these are light compared to some heavy-duty boots, but heavy for trail boots, according to the internet. I was pleasantly surprised at the weight of the boots themselves upon first lifting them out, having only used heavier combat and winter boots before. One set of tags on the boots, easily removed, and stuffed paper in the toe box, as well as a cardboard tube in the ankle sections, were the extent of the packing material. The lack of fanfare made for a simple opening. Opening the simple box reveals a single sheet of packing material, in which lies the Salomon Quest 4D GTX Forces 2 EN tactical shoes. The motto “Time to Play” is emblazoned on a brown flip-top cardboard box. The boots arrived in an unmarked box containing the Salomon box, which is minimalistic at best. Let’s find out why they may be your next boots of choice. These boots are simply better than the heavy, thick-soled boots of years past. While more expensive than my beloved Garmont T8 Bifidas, I’ve found myself preferring the Salomon boots every time I needed supportive footwear. service members and veterans who may be more used to the standard military boot. With an MSRP of $230, the Salomon Quest 4D GTX Forces 2 EN tactical shoes come at the higher-end price range for U.S. The SensiFit technology used in the construction ensures there are no hotspots from the inside of the boots on your feet, keeping blisters to a minimum. Lace locks allow you to tighten the foot and ankle sections to different levels, and the heel strap and double-stitched materials ensure a strong boot that should stand the test of time. Built with leather uppers, a strong rubber outsole, and Gore-Tex, all sandwiching the Salomon 4D Chassis which provides stability, comfort, and a puncture-resistant sole, these boots are made to last. These are hiking and trail running boots that can tackle trails, brush, and mud. The Salomon Quest 4D GTX Forces 2 EN tactical shoes have you covered on all fronts, with water-resistant materials, aggressive tread on the outsole, and plenty of ankle support. When you need to move fast on rough terrain, for hours, you need lightness, traction, stability, and dry feet.

Rivers of high conservation value are also not stocked. Water catchment dams used for supplying drinking water are not allowed to be used for fishing. Not all suitable waters are stocked with trout. Broodstock stockings, while very low, are big fish and are prized captures by those that manage to land them. These are used for a year or two for their eggs and sperm and then replaced. This ex-broodstock brown trout was released into Drakesbrook Weir during the 2019 Troutfest! Trout are stocked in three discrete age classes. Trout stocking takes place every year to replenish popular freshwater fishing rivers and dams. Redfin are not found in all waterways but the waterways that do have them are very popular locations to fish as they are very tasty to eat and offer a great by-catch when chasing trout. Redfin perch were released back in the late 1800s and have been here ever since. We have two types of trout, the most common is the rainbow trout, and the other is not stocked as heavily and is considered the prize species of the two and is the brown trout. This refers to the fish being bred and reared in a hatchery and then “put” into dams and rivers for anglers to “take”. The trout fishery is primarily maintained as what is called a “put and take” fishery. Trout and redfin perch make up the majority of our freshwater fishing experience here in the west and is mostly limited to the southwest corner of the state.

We do not offer this type of service at this time. A service of that nature would be significantly more expensive as a great deal more time would be required. To create that type of edge will necessarily scratch up the blade surface and we lack the machinery and time to provide a full re-polishing of a blade’s surface. The service will not provide a completely bevel-less edge. In other words, we intend to provide you with a serviceable weapon, not a personal grooming implement. Our goal is to provide you with a usable edge for cutting practice that will hold up to some use and not require constant re-sharpening. The resulting edge will be “sword sharp” not razor sharp. Our sword sharpening expert has personally sharpened several thousand swords at this point, so will provide you with a professional service. We can sharpen only the last half or third of an edge, for example. If you have a different preference, feel free to make that request in the special instructions at check out. By default we will sharpen as much of the blade as possible including any false edges if appropriate. The blades are rested between passes to prevent them from becoming hot and damaging their temper. The process involves many passes with sanding belts of various grits. The sharpening service is done with a belt sander. We adjust the angle of the edge to suit the specific blade and attempt to get as close to a bevel-less edge as possible without marring the surface of the blade. Some blades will take and hold sharper edges than others and the thickness of the blade will determine how wide the bevel will need to be. The resulting edge is somewhat dependent on the particular blade. The result is typically “very sharp” with a small secondary bevel and a bit of an “apple seed” profile. Our sharpening service will provide a good serviceable edge on the blade. Consider this as a general guideline only. The Edge ratings in particular are somewhat subjective and each blade can vary. This info is provided to give you a good idea of the product being presented, the one you receive may vary from the specific one we took measurements of. Please note: Due to the hand made nature of these items, all specs should be considered as approximates. However for reasons we won’t get into here, this is not the case. A common misconception is that swords should all be “razor sharp”. Moderately Sharp is close, but may need to be touched up to get the best performance. Possible values could be “Rebated” meaning the edge is intentionally thickened for safety, “Blunt” meaning the edge is fairly thick with little to no taper, ‘Unsharpened” which would taper to the edge but stop short of having any real cutting ability, “Slightly Sharp, Moderately Sharp, Sharp, or Very Sharp” Sharp or Very Sharp are considered good for cutting swords. The “Edge” spec will tell you about how sharp a blade is. A very high POB will result in a sword that feels heavier than it actually is and is difficult to wield. In general, a low POB results in good point control well suited to a thrusting blade, while a higher POB adds impact to a cleaving blade. A POB of 3”- 5” usually results in a well balanced sword, but does depend on the type of sword. In practice however, there are many reasons why you may not want this for a particular sword. In theory a sword with a POB of 0” is perfectly balanced. A number of 0” would balance exactly at the guard, while a negative number will have a POB in the hilt itself. It refers to the point on the blade where the sword achieves a perfect balance. stands for Point Of Balance, this is measured in inches from the hilt down the blade. We haven’t tried it, but it might allow you to skip the step of soldering the strip lights to the lamp, and just screw it right in.

Growing comfrey plants in the garden can offer a wide variety of uses. Nemesis: Lockdown is a hard game in every sense of the word. The escape routes themselves, via randomly discharging escape pods or out onto the planet’s toxic surface, are filled with peril. To win, you must not only fulfil your objective but escape. As such, a key part of the game is players co-operating - or otherwise - to pin down what this is. There’s also a hidden contingency which the arriving corporate suits put into action at the conclusion to try and contain the aliens, and this will kill players who haven’t fulfilled its criteria. Each player has a hidden objective, some of which involve killing other players. Particularly when you reach the game's end. Speaking of which, there are a lot of ways to die in Nemesis: Lockdown. You may be infected, in which case your character is fated to die when the game concludes.Įach player has a hidden objective, some of which involve killing other players Worse, each has a hidden code printed on it which can be revealed by placing it into a neat 'scanner' component which resolves the image into letters via a sheet of red plastic. These can’t be played or discarded and so clog up your hand (luckily, some rooms and actions can help you clear them). When players encounter aliens, they often end up having contamination cards in their action deck. Of particular note is the infection system. Aliens can be researched and probed for weaknesses. Items can be scavenged or crafted into more powerful combinations. Powered-up computer terminals can be accessed for various effects. Power fluctuates throughout the station, leading to lights going on and off (this is not a place you want to be in the darkness). Some rooms start on fire, and too much fire will destroy the complex. To make matters worse, escaping isn't even the end of your problems - you’ll also face a dangerous event card draw.Īround this basic framework, there’s a jaw-dropping tangle of additional rules and effects.

The more the Combo Meter builds up, the more content that is unlocked across both games. If you pledge for one game, you not only add to that stretch goal meter but also the combo meter that fills up with support from both games. That’s not all: the Kickstarter campaign will also use a “Combo Meter” that affects stretch goals across both games. The Early Bird Combo pledge level will allow early backets to pledge for both titles at a discount. Stretch goals include current-gen ports (Xbox Series, PS5, latest Nintendo hardware). Both games will share a mutual funding goal of US$750,000 this will ensure a PC release for each game. In case you couldn’t tell by their names and artwork above, Armed Fantasia is the successor to Wild Arms while Penny Blood is for Shadow Hearts. The two companies are launching a Double Kickstarter campaign for their respective games: Armed Fantasia: To The End of the Wilderness and Penny Blood. Wild Bunch Productions and Yukikaze, two new game developers consisting of ex-Wild Arms and Shadow Hearts series creators & developers respectively, are teaming up via Kickstarter. If you’re itching for a new Wild Arms or Shadow Hearts game in the next year or two, your prayers have been answered. The fewer such codecs there are, the fewer the developer resources required to implement this feature *for only those codecs* (which is what everybody is asking for). I mean, can't a 32-bit integers count up to 4294967295 frames? If that is not enough, then just use a 64-bit integer. number VLC is willing to store of "how many frames since the last I-frame", and expose the modification of that number as a modifiable parameter in advanced settings. number of frames it can count between I-frames. Why not have a set of codecs for which this feature is supported, and only implement this feature for those codecs? Isn't it possible to implement this feature for those codecs which support accurate time-reporting capabilities so you'd know how many frames have passed since the previous I-frame?Ĭan't VLC just record how many frames it has moved forward since the previous I-frame? That is just a single integer, whose size will determine the max. Again, I don't think this needs to work beautifully for every codec under the sun, if we see ugly artifacts appear on certain codecs, i'm willing to live with that to be able to use this function on most codecs. On lower-spec machines the Previous Frame key might work slower, but it would be very useful for many people to have this as an optional feature / hotkey.Įdit: Then again - since Jump to Specific Time works for 1 second increments, maybe it could work for frames too. Then, I can press the Next Frame hotkey to scroll forward to the correct frame.Ĭould we use this sort of operation, in code, as a work-around way to enable "Previous Frame" functionality? It might have problems with a few video codecs, but this method seems to work well for many videos I've tested it on manually. I notice that on any video, I can manually seek back ~1 second by using " Jump to Specific Time" and entering 1 second prior to the current playback position. So it will be either super slow in some cases or memory hog all the time.Īlso not all access methods support random access all the time (so you really cannot seek), so it will cause frustatration in users when keys or GUI buttons don't work (this just a minor annoyance). And you really cannot cache so many previous frames because they will eat all the memory very quickly. Like said earlier codec frame access is very problematic (I, P and B frames), because in worst case scenario you have to decode about 248 sequential Full HD H.264 frames before you can get previous image (so there will be major LAG). It can be added in theory, but there would be certain problems. ie - seek back to the right(!?) frame, and then frame next > I was wondering if there could be some kind of emulation at the input > Many modern codecs don't support backward playback. > Of course, there is no limitation at the hotkey layer but. > What kind of limitation prevents us from having "frame-previous"? > Added hotkey code for input "frame-next". > vlc | branch: master | Laurent Aimar | Mon Oct > On Oct 22, 2008, at 10:22 PM, git version control wrote: > Le vendredi 28 août 2009 18:06:15 Pierre d'Herbemont, vous avez > On Aug 28, 2009, at 5:09 PM, Rémi Denis-Courmont wrote: Simple.Pierre d'Herbemont kirjoitti kello 18:15: When watching YT Downloaded videos (made with 5KPlayer) - I use Reaper 6.59.

It's pretty clear while he still has great natty genetics, that he has west african hyper responder genetics. He got bigger and leaner(obviously he never had abbs and was always porky but he lost a lot of the dyel fat guy look he had in photos from 2010 2009 ish and gained some more slightly noticeable muscle tone). His bench after that continued to blow up. He said in rehab a guy recommend he do powerlifting so he trained with some guys at a tiny gym and hit 500 for a triple touch and go and 525 for a paused single. He looks porky and flabby like any natty would at this weight and height on a permanent bulk.īut then after jail in 2012 he is bigger and leaner then before. Still seems natty achievable especially since his bench only went up by 120lbs in 7 years and after some puberty and a bit of size gain. He then said in 2011 right after he was getting locked up in the middle of his prison run he hit 405 at a bw of a bit over 300 at 6:3. Julius Maddox inching closer to 800-lb bench press goal with 730-lb lift. Of course, Zamani isn't the only powerlifter with his sights set on the 800-pound bench press holy grail Julius Maddox has been working his way up to this number for the past few years. Seems reasonable as many guys lighter than that hit that with good genetics. He trained bench quite a bit and got to 285lbs at 285 bw 6:0 at 17 in 2004. In an interview on his benches over time with candito and some insta posts, Maddox said he started getting into sports in second grade when he was a food addict 4:8 180lbs and for other kids safety they didn't let him play peewee. Obviously a 700lb natty bench is cap but julius being a painkiller addict, roid dealer, etc in the past who got locked up a few times over it says he doesn't want kids in lifting getting involved with that so I get why he claims it. Our school didn't put much emphasis on weightlifting as others did.Heard maddox claimed natty until he hit a 700lb bench in 2018 around 420lbs bw 6:3. I had no desire to do it anyway, because I was naturally strong and wasn't aware of the many benefits. The coaches didn't want me to get too strong, and they limited my weightlifting. By junior year I could dunk a basketball with two hands, ran a 4.8 40-yeard-dash, and threw the shot put 58 feet. I was a big kid at 285 pounds and very athletic. I didn't like it and had no interest in it. When did you first start lifting weights? I plan on breaking the 800-pound record at Wrigley Field before or after the Cubs play the Cardinals on May 18. I just took it for what it was and moved past it. They were on a tight schedule and I guess things were rushed. Typically the judges have to sign off on the weight before the lifter goes for his or her attempt, but this was a crazy situation because ESPN was there covering it. I saw that you had attempted the mythical 800 pounds prior to that, but there was an issue where a spotter added an extra 25 pounds to one side of the bar and ruined it? equipped debate, and more.įirst off, congratulations on being the strongest raw bench presser of all time. We spoke about his troubled past, how he accidentally discovered his talent, the raw vs. He had quite a story to tell, as Julius turned his life around from being a drug addict and prison inmate to one of the strongest human beings on earth. That's why I was happy to speak recently with Kentucky's Julius Maddox, who for the past several years has been the strongest raw bench presser alive. We even tend to follow current world records. The error took Maddox who holds the raw bench record at 770 pounds out of the zone, and caused him to miss the historic lift. Yet even among our own, there has always been a fascination with that most basic of upper body lifts. As bodybuilders, we get that question fairly often from regular folks who have no idea we focus more on the development of our physiques than the amount of weight we can lift. "How much ya bench?" Every one of us has either asked that question or had others ask us.
