![]() However, the Playthings article states clearly that Odyssey works on any TV of at least 18 inches.īy 1979, Playthings magazine featured frequent stories about electronic games. For example, in December 1972, Playthings noted the dawn of the video game era with a story, “Home in on Odyssey.” This piece announced the launch of the Magnavox Odyssey, “an all-electronic game simulator that will let you use your television set, not just watch it.” Some video game historians have contended that Odyssey’s sales suffered because people thought they had to own a Magnavox television to play it. Scanning even a few random pages of Playthings magazines reveals a treasure trove of information about the history of electronic games. ![]() Today, many products such as WebKinz blur the line between video game and toy. As video game companies became more established, they in turn ventured into the toy and merchandise business Nintendo has a long track record of this. Milton Bradley produced Microvision, the first handheld system with interchangeable games. Both Mattel and Coleco made handheld electronic games. ![]() Mattel produced Intellivision, and Coleco made ColecoVision. Nolan Bushnell failed to find any interested buyers for Pong at the 1975 New York Toy Fair (Sears ended up selling it through its sports division), but many of the early manufacturers of electronic games came from the toy industry. The video game business has had a long, sometimes strained, relationship with the toy industry. The broader universe of play helps us to understand the world of video games. For example, playing war in the backyard resembles playing war in Team Fortress 2, and it’s a short leap from fighting an orc in Dungeons and Dragons to battling one in World of Warcraft. I’ve noted elsewhere that video games intimately relate to other forms of play. The magazine highlighted toy trends, publicized new releases, noted what was hot and what was not, and featured in-depth articles on products, companies, organizations, and leaders in the toy industry. Started in 1903, Playthings appeared monthly and for more than a century served as the main publication for the toy and game industry.

![]() Though, she is not happy to be an errand girl, she still does it with optimism and her boss takes note of her “work.” The next day, she gets sent on an errand, but this time, she is told to drive there. Even though Cho Rim wants to study to be a comedian, her senior colleagues treat her as an errand girl, rather than a member of the group. Haha! We get a special guest, RUNNING MAN, in their first drama cameo. He tells Moo Gak to give up his pursuit of becoming a detective, but it looks like Moo Gak will not heed that advice.Ĭho Rim works at a comedy troupe in hopes of becoming a comedian, a famous one at that. This doesn’t sit well for Major Crimes Squad detective, Kang Hyeok ( Lee Won-Jong) who is furious at Moo Gak for interfering with the big boys case. He robber comes in and Moo Gak tries to be a cool cop, by doing some cool moves, only that he ends up passing out as he tries to apprehend the robber due to his body giving out from exhaustion. His tongue will not thank him if he was normal, but he is not. While he waits patiently, his stomach is not as he eats about 5 bowls of noodles, all scalding hot- I am emphasizing on the hotness of the food. Moo Gak is in a neighborhood supermarket on his day 5th day stake out, looking for a wanted robber. Oh and she doesn’t remember who she was, but all she knows is that detective Jae Pyo is her real father…he adopted her.Īs time goes on, so does the new Cho Rim gets super accustomed to her new powers and she uses it for good and not evil. She naturally freaks out, but as time passes by, she accepts her coolness, even though people around her are naturally afraid of a one green-eyed girl. That is a bad name, I will think of some other’s cool names. 193 days later, Eun-Seol/ Cho-Rim wakes up from coma and is greeted with a new special power and should be known as Smell Eyes. As he gets to Eun-Seol’s bed side, he sees a pool of blood and a slashed neck.ħ days later, accident Eun-Seol’s parents are found by the beach, the detective in charge of the case, Oh Jae-Pyo ( Jung In-Gi) sees a bar code inscribed on their arm and it looks like this is a series case. On his way to her hospital bedside, he bumps into a cute, yet mysterious doctor who is covered in blood. Her brother, Choi Moo Gak ( Park Yoo-Chun) a marine biologist, goes to the hospital to check on little sis. At the same time of the accident, we see another student, Choi Eun-Seol ( Kim So-Hyun) who calls her brother that she had been in an accident. Unfortunately, she gets hit by a car as she runs into the street, but she is able to still see the killer lurking in the dark as he watches her die. The sound of the clock and that time feels like a foreshadow coincidence. ![]() Luckily, for her, she is able to get away from the grasp of the killer as the wall clock strike 10pm. Eun-Seol enters her home and she stands face to face with the killer. Unknown to Cho Rim, there is a killer in the house and both parents are definitely dead. Cho Rim texts her mom, on her way home, to prepare some noodles. We start off with a student, Choi Eun-Seol/Oh Cho Rim ( Shin Se-Kyung) coming back from school in the evening. I really don’t have prelimnaries except if I have a lot to say, but since this is the first episode, I will just jump into recaps. The Girl Who Sees Smell is a drama I see myself investing in. Handles are real mule deer antlers, selected for their straightness and the best grip when wet. Each blade is durable and sharp with waterproof haftings (two-part epoxy and artificial sinew). The cutting edge has a generous radius and most have a thumb-rest on the backside near the handle. It was developed from the suggestions of hunters desiring a functional field blade. ![]() You won't find my basic skinner blade design in flint anywhere else. My knives are uniquely designed with the hunter in mind. Overall unparralled performance compared to steel. The serrated edge also prevents accidentally cutting holes in your cape. Consider it's properties much like that of a modern ceramic knife except that my knives are more durable and they have a serrarted edge ideally suited for skinning. And yes, it can break and must be treated with care when handling. If used properly it will NEVER get dull! Yes, it can get dull when used on something other than hide or soft tissue, but it CAN be easily resharpened (I suggest sending it to me for FREE expert re-sharpening). Why use a knife that is less sharp and has to be frequently resharpened? Animal hides "melt off like butter" because of the extremely sharp and serrated edge. Sharper than steel and absolutely NO resharpening when used to skin any animal. including feral hogs! Why use a knife that's less sharp and gets dull often? Of the hunters I know that use flint knives, none have gone back to using steel.įlint knives are AMAZINGLY BETTER THAN STEEL in many ways: Flint offers more than steel blades with its superior edge for hide removal. Great for any animal. All of the knives on this website are for those desiring a better knife for field dressing large and small game. A flint knife is a great gift for the hunter who THOUGHT he had everything. My flint knives are very popular with deer hunters who not only want a better knife but also want to bring something different and impressive to the camp. Sharper and holding an edge longer are important, but they also possess something else above steel blades. Enjoy what hunters are re-discovering: Flint knives are very effective, and in some ways superior to steel. ![]() My hand-crafted knives and sheaths are designed for both the collector and for using in the field. SUPERIOR TO STEEL IN SHARPNESS, PERFORMANCE, KEEPING AN EDGE, AND LESS PRONE TO CUTTING HOLES IN A HIDE. So what's the big deal using flint instead of steel? ![]() The 134-page book shows readers over a dozen practical and fun ways to use your iPod for more than just listening to music. The search on 2011’s and SSD drives leads me to believe that cable may be the problem which makes a lot of sense.Editor’s Note: The following article is an excerpt from the just-released second edition of Take Control of Your iPod: Beyond the Music, a $10 electronic book available for download from TidBits Electronic Publishing. I’m pretty sure the clean install helped as it restarted 20 times easily after I finished. When they opened it up, same white screen! They’ll bring it back today and I’m planning on opening it up to see if possibly one or more cables is pinched and causing some of the troubles. After the reinstall, which took forever and stopped several times, and then doing the same recent update which was not on the usb install, it worked great- until I turned it off and closed it up and my neighbor took it home. I then backed it up to an external hard drive, wiped the current hard drive using target disk mode with another MBP also running High Sierra (I had to install the update to that computer first as disk utility had a glitch before the recent update), and then made a usb boot disk of High Sierra (all very time consuming). I got it working enough to get everything off of it by using the fsck and after “volume appears to be ok”, typing “reboot” (this was the only way to get it to boot up normally as none of the other key prompts would work). I’ve spent the last 2 days troubleshooting my neighbor’s MBP late 2011 with the same problem after they had it in the repair shop 3 times for $500. I'm noticing that the computer is getting unusually hot, roughly where the fans are (i.e. Booting over Firewire from another computer in Target Disk Mode: No difference. What in God's name is going on here?Īlso tried: Apple Hardware Test, extended testing: No trouble found. ![]() I have tried: Booting in Safe Mode (no indication that that took effect), zapping the PRAM (seven reboots in a row to be sure), resetting the PMU (twice), Verbose mode (which works, until it goes to the white screen of death), Single User Mode (which works just fine, but all I know to do from there is to fsck the disk, which returns no errors), unplugging the battery for 30 seconds or so, resetting the RAM in its slot, and, as I said, repeatedly attempting to boot from an emergency drive. ![]() When I boot to my Protogo, it shows a line of random colors in the upper portion of the screen for a second before it goes to the white screen. When I went to Recovery or Internet Recovery (after it downloaded the installer), it would go to a horrible blue screen, that looked like some kind of awful graphics error-it hurt my eyes. ![]() Once it immediately turned itself back on after I forced to turn off by holding the Power button for six seconds. However, last night it would sometimes do that, and sometimes go to the white screen and then shut down, and sometimes spontaneously reboot, over and over. It will show the Apple logo and the loading bar, then go to an all-white screen and stay there. Not only to the new internal drive, but to the Protogo, or to the original drive, or to the Recovery partition, or to Internet Recovery. Everything worked fine I installed the drive, booted with a Techtool Protogo USB stick with the High Sierra installer on it, formatted the disk with Disk Utility, installed High Sierra onto it, waited for it to reboot, plugged the old drive in via a Universal Drive Adapter, and restored all the data using the Migration Assistant built into the initial startup sequence. The original HDD was drastically slowing down and giving SMART errors, so I replaced it with a (somewhat smaller, but still big enough for all the data with room to spare) SDD. I was doing a routine hard drive replacement. Resetting PRAM, PMU, Safe Mode, and booting from external drives all have the same result. Tl dr No matter what I do, I get a white screen on startup after the Apple logo. Skipping, in that light, isn't just a kid's play. One of the big movements in fitness trends today involves a return to playground activities - the kind of 'workouts' you did as a child. Cycling in the open will not just help you lose fat and get fit, it will also encourage you to get outdoors and soak in some Vitamin D. While a cycle in the gym isn't a bad idea at all, cyclists will tell you that nothing compares to the real thing. Cycling isn't just one of the best cardio exercises for fat loss but it also helps you strengthen your leg muscles and build stamina. But use it well and you will be able to burn as many as 1200 calories in a single hour. The stationary cycle is often the most overlooked machine in the gym. Unlike a treadmill or a stationary bicycle, an elliptical tends to workout your entire body. The elliptical is an excellent way of losing fat without hurting your joints. Switch up the intensity and speed for your elliptical workout to be more effective. EllipticalĮlliptical workouts can help you burn up to 500 calories per hour at a moderate speed. Even though a treadmill will do just fine, there's nothing quite like running on a track. ![]() To make the most of your workout, alternate between sprinting and jogging for 30-45 seconds each for an hour. Sprinting helps you burn calories and increase your stamina. Yet again, sprinting doesn't require any equipment other than a pair of good shoes. Walking is good, running is great but sprinting is even better. It also helps you strengthen your bones and muscles. Not only that, a simple exercise like walking helps you maintain a healthy weight and is the best way to improve your mood. You need to take a brisk yet moderately fast-paced walk for the fat loss to happen. But, you can't expect to take a light evening stroll and lose 400 calories. Walking as a cardio exercise helps you to burn 300 to 400 calories per hour. It is one of those exercises which you can incorporate into your daily routine without having to shift around your schedule too much. Walking is perhaps the easiest and the best cardio exercises for fat loss. Weight-training is also equally important, not just to gain muscle and give your body better definition but also to avoid muscle injury. But, as with everything else, it is also important that you start slow to avoid injuries. When it comes to losing weight though, it's a pretty straightforward deal: cardio exercises help you lose fat faster. (To find out which is the best cardio machine to burn fat, click here.) The best cardio exercises for fat loss Every cardio machine works differently on the body and tends to burn varying amounts of fat. For someone who's never been to the gym, it is easy to get overwhelmed by the cardio machines and have to choose between, let's say the treadmill or the rowing machine. Cardio coupled with weight-training is one of the oldest trick in the book to lose fat and gain muscle. Instead, an individual can start from low-intensity exercises and gradually move to more intense ones.Cardiovascular exercises are usually the easiest way to lose fat. That said, following this suggestion blindly can be harmful to one’s health. In some cases, a trainer may suggest going for high-intensity workouts, which support muscle strength and allow you to shed weight. In addition, considering the body shape and existing medical conditions is also essential before starting cardio. In this regard, one can follow the Body Mass Index or BMI results and plan an exercise schedule. Moreover, it is imperative to set a target or weight goal. Hence, in order to lose weight and maintain it, one needs to include cardio exercises into their workout regime for at least 300 minutes a week. Certain individuals prefer a high-intensity cardio workout as it is the quickest way to burn calories through physical training.Ī form of aerobic exercise, it relies on the body’s ability to control oxygen reaching the muscle to burn energy and fat. This increased heart rate indicates that the body is burning excess fat. ![]() Practising cardio exercise for weight loss elevates your heart rate. Plenty of coffee shops put their own spin on popular drinks, and their espresso machine becomes the portal to an entirely new world of creative coffee expression.Īn iced mocha typically combines cold brew with milk and chocolate flavoring. Depending on your preferences, you can dress up your drink with whipped cream, syrups, sauces and other toppings. What Is The Difference Between Iced Latte And Iced Mocha?Īn iced latte is a light, espresso-based drink that combines 1/6 espresso with 4/6 milk and foamed milk. However you like yours, the sky is really the limit so long as you have coffee, an ice cube tray and milk. Some cold coffee drinks can function as dessert recipes with all their added confectioneries while others are a simple way to enjoy leftover coffee on a hot day. It's derived from the Frappé coffee takes its name from the French verb meaning, "to beat," referring to the frothy substance that the iced coffee takes on after being shaken or blended. The modern frappuccino we all know and love was actually invented by accident in 1957 by a Greek man named Dimitris Vakondios. But the act of pouring brewed coffee over ice is can be traced back centuries to various countries throughout Latin and South Americas. Coffee recipes that combine lots of sweet flavorings and toppings, like chocolate syrup and whipped cream, are recent inventions. ![]() Iced coffee seems to be a modern invention, and by many standards, it is. ![]() It's stronger than its cousin, Robusta coffee, but it makes up nearly 60 percent of the entire world's coffee crops.
