Exercise wood chopper3/1/2024 In addition, you can change the amount of weight or resistance you’re using. Conversely, widening your stance decreases the challenge. Place your feet or knees closer together to narrow your base of support and make the exercise more challenging.ĭoing so will increase lateral instability and force your muscles to work harder to maintain balance while performing the exercise. Increasing or decreasing the degree of challenge Your trunk extensors and shoulder muscles are emphasized in this version. Repeat the movement, this time performing low to high. To emphasize the lifting motion, change the anchor point to a low position. This version emphasizes the obliques on the side you’re pulling toward. Grasp the handle and pull down to the opposite hip. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart with the handle position to the left side. Use either a cable machine with the pulley set to the highest point or a resistance band anchored to a high point for the chopping motion. They provide variety with hand position and grip to add challenge. Substitute a medicine ball or kettlebel l for the weight. This exercise can also be performed in a full kneeling position with your knees parallel to each other. Lift the weight from the outside of your rear hip up and over to the outside of your head on the lead-leg side. Start with one leg in front and your rear knee bent directly under your hips. This exercise can be performed from a half-kneeling (lunge) position. There are multiple ways to add variety and adjust the challenge of the movement. ![]() They emphasize different sides and muscles of the trunk. There are two phases to the wood chop exercise - the lift and the chop. Perform 2 sets of 8–15 repetitions on each side. Keep the movement controlled, and pause between each rep to decrease the momentum used. Also, remember to keep your trunk and head tall as you perform this part of the movement. The weight will go from above the left side of your head back to your right hip. The second phase involves the chopping motion of the movement. Most of the motion comes from your arms and pivoting on your foot. In this standing version, there will be minimal movement of the trunk. For instance, if you start at your right hip, you will lift it up to the left side of your head.Īs you lift, pivot your right foot to aid the rotation and elevation of the weight. ![]() There are two phases to this movement - the lift and the chopping movement.ĭuring the first phase, with the dumbbell at the outside of one hip, lift and rotate the dumbbell up above the outside of the opposite side of your head. Pivot your feet to the right also to avoid straining your back. Doing so means your body will be rotated to the right.

Tera strongbox keys ps43/1/2024 ![]() I love EU, and so if you give me exciting reasons on the webshop to support EU, I'm going to support it. Even if they don't go away, I am still in favor of adding more options to the webshop. The Founder's Pack contains an exclusive mount, a pet with a portable bank to carry your items around, a stack of ten strongbox keys, and 1,000 EMP to spend in the in-game TERA Store. For now, one of the only ways I deposit is through strongboxes, so if those go away I do hope there are some nice alluring alternatives in their place. I'm sure there's a ton more! You guys can likely come up with ideas way better, but I'm all in favor of giving players more reasons to spend their $ on the webshop. ![]() Weapon and Armor Skins Purely Cosmetic: Let players pimp out their weapons and armors with exclusive webshop obtainable skins. All clothing items would be purely cosmetic. These items should never provide any sort of in game advantage of have buffs, they only need the ability to make one look sexy. Hats, shirts, pants, or no pants, skirts, backpacks, sunglasses. ![]() All included items must be tradeable, minus the UA.Ĭlothing Purely Cosmetic: Create new items! Did you see the Mankini hype? Give us more ways to pimp our avatars with new exclusive webshop purchasable content. These come with increased auction listing slots and reduced auction listing fees, as well as universal ammo, an (L) weapon, and an assortment of new pills. Some suggestions for more webshop content: I'm okay with your suggested change so long as MA introduces something equally attractive and motivating as keys on the webshop, if they indeed move them to trade terminals one day. When deposits increase for MA, that ensures the lights stay on and more content is rolled out. I'm arguing that for our benefit as players we should look down the road long term, encouraging implementations from MA that raise their total deposits. I believe we would see a major decline in nominal deposits if the keys were moved to in game, absent a comparable alternative. I do believe that the strongbox deposit method is one of the most popular forms of players deposits because of the value it can provide. I understand that a move of strongbox keys to the in-game tts would not "cease all deposits", that's not my argument. Everything we have in there would be useless if deposits ceased. Letting old PED just stay in the game without circulating new money would eventually crash the entire economy. Unpopular opinion: keys should stay on the webshop for one major reason:

Super mario 3d world gamestop3/1/2024 Most of the traditional platforming stages have three green stars tucked away in hidden nooks, encouraging exploration or challenging you to hang onto a power-up like the Double Cherry long enough to unlock a gate. The Captain Toad stages are one key way that 3D World fills your coffers with green stars, a sort of in-game currency for unlocking new stages. He can't jump on enemies due to his comically massive backpack, so instead, Captain Toad puzzles become subtle games of timing and patience, manipulating the camera to view the 3D space from all angles and plumbing its depths for treasure. They feel familiar enough to Mario's standard platforming that it isn't distracting, but Captain Toad's natural pacifism makes for a unique challenge. His platforming puzzles are cute departures from the main platforming challenges. Super Mario 3D World on Wii U was also the debut of Captain Toad, and it's easy to see why he became a breakout star. The game keeps up this regular pace of delightful surprise from start to finish. One stage is essentially a Mario Kart riff, recognizable from its rainbow-colored bumpers and dash pads that speed you along the entire length of "track." Another is clearly modeled after a classic Zelda dungeon, with your Fire Flower power-up serving to ignite lanterns and solve simple puzzles. The game also frequently pays homage to other pieces of Nintendo history. One stage might have you navigating a forest or a battleship, while another will time its rhythmic block switching to a steady beat. The sheer variety of ideas on display in 3D World is its biggest asset. Each stage is presented as a diorama slice and usually include a limited degree of Z-axis depth, but the core idea between them is the same: Get in, see a clever application of Mario mechanics, then get out before the concept overstays its welcome. The stages are relatively small, self-contained bouts of creative platforming, often with their own theme or mechanics at the forefront. It's a successor to Mario Galaxy, not in direct mechanics but in a broader design philosophy. It's easier to see Super Mario 3D World's place in Mario canon with the benefit of hindsight. Because of this very split design, though, it only makes sense to examine them as separate games. This makes sense-the two share some superficial traits but are otherwise very different design philosophies and platforming approaches. The two experiences are bifurcated to the point where you need to quit out of one completely to start the other.

The vecx cores core provided FPS is 59.72. So I can't figure out why when I load a CV game it is overriding the. Either way, when I go to load msx roms I get a blank screen and booted back to the menu. Ive have all of the bios in the both the bios and machines folders, with the proper MD5 checksums (which I verified through winMD5). Therefore, I know the BIOS was correctly installed to the proper folder and it worked also it is still there. MSX or MSX2 Roms wont load (bluemsx) RESOLVED None of my MSX files are working. Prior to this, I could play Coleco games fine with the lr-BlueMSX core. The retroarch-core-options.cfg file in my /opt/retropie/configs/all contains this for bluemsx: Okay, I updated my retropie core, main, optional and experimental packages via the RetroPie Setup Script.

Night owl wired camera3/1/2024 ![]() The Live View tab of the app allows you to view one or multiple cameras in a variety of layouts. You can also find an infrared motion sensor on each camera, which triggers motion recording and notifications. This protects the video/power cable so it's harder to tamper with. It's a good idea to secure the cables along the top of a wall, and you can buy a cable run or cord cover to conceal them if you don't want to stress about hiding them (though it will be pricey if you do 60 feet for each camera). But having multiple cameras does make up the shortfall a little.Įach camera comes with a 60-foot video/power cable, which is long enough to reach most areas of an average-sized home-provided the DVR is in a central location. Although this is wider than you might see on other wired security cameras, it's narrower than the 130º average on most wireless cameras. We're not big fans of the cameras' narrow field of view (80º), which limits how much they can see. There are also bright spotlights for color night vision. ![]() This type of night vision is more effective than most Wi-Fi security cameras, which illuminate about 25 feet on average. Each camera comes equipped with powerful infrared LEDs that give it up to 100 feet of night vision range. The four DP2 cameras in the Night Owl system are weatherproof, so you can use them indoors or outdoors. Still, the lag was less apparent compared to a wireless camera like the Arlo Pro 4, probably because there's no Wi-Fi involved on the sending end. When you watch a livestream on the mobile app, you can expect a short lag depending on your internet speed. Still, renters in apartments (like the small apartment where we tested) might see a little motion blurring close to the camera with people walking directly in front of it. If you view the video on a monitor connected to the DVR, it looks crisp without any noticeable motion blur at a distance. Compared to wireless cameras like the Ring Stick Up Cam and Wyze Cam Outdoor, the quality doesn't hold up considering those are easier to install. With Night Owl in particular, we found the color wasn't great in dim rooms and just decent in bright spaces. (We didn't test this, but it's true for most wired surveillance systems.) In our case, the included cameras topped out at 1080p, which is standard for security cameras these days. Still, we suspect it supports a variety of wired add-on cameras with lower resolutions as well. The DVR supports recording resolutions up to 1080p. If your order was sold by Amazon and its within 30 days, we recommend contacting Amazon support and they will be able to either process a return, replacement or refund as needed.Video quality is a tricky subject when dealing with DVRs like the one Night Owl uses. Please note you can click on the sellers name from this screen to see their contact information. Find your order and go into your Order Details screen and look for where it says " Sold By:" Is it, Night Owl SP, Elite Techtronics or someone else? If you see anything other than Amazon, Night Owl or Elite Techtronics in the " Sold By:" section make sure to reach out to that seller for assistance as we don't have any information about the order.
