![]() Note that if you access the preserve from the Stumphouse Tunnel Park the hours of operation are posted on the gate. The blazed trail continues the entire width of the preserve and goes past the Middle Tunnel to the Saddle Tunnel. Follow that yellow blazed trail, signed and marked by the Boyscouts of America, into the Heritage Preserve. Follow the trail toward the waterfall and look for a sign "BRRR" and yellow blazes on your left. Take that gravel road which leads to parking and Issaqueena Falls and park. Follow winding Stumphouse Tunnel Road for 0.39 miles down to a gravel road on your right. From Walhalla, SC, follow SC 28 north (toward Mountain Rest and NC) for 4.5 miles and then go right into the Stumphouse Tunnel Park on Stumphouse Tunnel Road (paved). The park also has a nice picnic area.Currently, the best access for hiking and sightseeing is via the City of Walhalla Park at Stumphouse Mountain. to sunset, except on Christmas and during inclement weather. Located 7 miles northwest of Walhalla on Highway 28, Stumphouse Tunnel Park is open from 10 a.m. (Photo by Jeff Samsel) A short easy walk leads in Stumphouse Tunnel Park leads to a platform that provides a great view of Issaqueena falls. Past the platform, an unofficial but heavily traveled trail allows for a steep descent to a flat area at the base of the 100-foot main drop for an up-close vantage.Īsher and Eli Samsel enjoy an up close and personal look at Issaqueena Falls. ![]() The creek drops 100 feet over an almost vertical edge, with just enough ledges breaking its fall to spread the flow into a complex and striking veil.įollowing the footpath across a small bridge leads to an easy downhill walk to a platform that provides an outstanding view of the falls. (Photo by Jeff Samsel)Ī short walk away from the tunnel, small and nondescript-seeming Cane Creek suddenly plunges into a gorge to form beautiful Issaqueena Falls. On the way out, you can just walk toward the light.Ī gentle, cool breeze comes out of the entrance of the Stumphouse Tunnel at all times. That said, enough natural light creeps in to sort of see once eyes adjust, and exploring without the aid of a flashlight is kind of cool. There are no artificial lights, so phone flashlights get used a lot. An air shaft just past the gate creates a constant cool breeze coming out of the tunnel and condensation, which keeps the tunnel floor moist. However, a locked gate prohibits travel past about halfway for safety reasons. ![]() The tunnel, which is 17 feet wide and 25 feet tall, is 1,617 feet long. ![]() The boys also spent at least a half hour flipping rocks in a tumbling tributary of the main stream, catching crawfish and seeing what kinds of aquatic insects were under rocks.Ī dead-end tunnel cut into a mountainside that was part of an abandoned railroad project, the Stumphouse Tunnel was created in the 1850s. ![]() The splendor of the falls exceeded what I had remembered, and the tunnel, which had been closed last time I was there and only visible from the outside at that time, turned out to be super fun to explore. What I’d expected be a half hour stop for quick looks at a couple of features turned into more than two hours of fun discovery. The park is pretty close to Walhalla, and we had time, so we made a detour. Until a couple of weeks ago, I’d forgotten just how just how cool South Carolina’s Stumphouse Tunnel Park is. I was in Walhalla with two of my boys and had just finished a round of disc golf when it struck me that they might like to explore the park’s namesake tunnel and to see Issaquena Falls, which is in the same park. There are no artificial lights inside the tunnel, but on the way out you can just walk toward the light. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mylio stays connected to Photos, so any new photos you take are automatically added to your library. Mylio can now import directly from Apple Photos. I know this is pretty nerdy, but I'm excited! For example, I might have a photo that is keyworded "street" and "Travel" but I only want it in the street category. I had previously used keywords for this, but this is messy, because sometimes a keyword can have cross connotations - but this is more specific, and it is handy to have this separate from keywords. Here's how I'd probably use this: I've used categories to define my work for a while now - you can see them on my portfolio site. I wanted this in iTunes too, as a way to organise collections. You could do this with unique keywords, but this kind of structure is really useful and something I’ve wanted for ages in all of my cataloguing apps (not just photo ones). ![]() Think of it as an additional layer of organisation. This can help you filter between "work" and "personal" with ease.” This is great. It does have some editing features too, but I generally don’t use those.Īnyway, they just announced a few new key features which are pretty handy:Ĭategories: Fromm the press release: “Add one or more categories as you organise to find photos even faster. It’s great because it syncs across all your devices and you have access to your catalogue pretty much anywhere. Whenever I’m finished with a set of images, I export them out as full resolution Jpegs, and I then use Mylio to catalogue and manage those. I’ve been using Mylio for a long time now as my overall library and archive tool. Also, the company recently changed its pricing levels. The latest version adds some significant new features and is available now. Mylio has just received a pretty big new update. ![]() ![]() You can choose to store new data on your internal drive or your external drive. ![]() When you boot from it, your Macintosh should also be as fast as it was when it was new.

Are you willing to spend hours going through hundreds of files and determining if you need them or not? Are you willing to risk damaging your software setup and having to troubleshoot your Macintosh if you trash the wrong thing? (I hear from several people each year who have borked their hard drive irrevocably doing this.) OmniDiskSweeper for Mac 1.8 JOmniDiskSweeper now requires 10.6.8 or later to run. So here is another way of looking at things. It's true that there can be millions of files on your hard drive. When I ran a test, I got an email with the attachment AND saw the new attachment in my computer record in our JSS that I could download and view. Obviously you can just remove the whole upload attachment section, or the send email section and use whichever one you want, or keep both. Not 100% sure of the required privs since I used my all purpose API account for testing, which has access to everything. You need to use an API account that has read and write privileges to computer objects, and perhaps a few other things. If you look at OmniDriveSweepers Drive List window, you will see a FileVault icon there, just as if it were a separate disk drive. It determines the JSS ID of the machine its running on and uses that to upload the file. Posting an updated version that includes uploading the final log as an attachment to the JSS Computer record. In fact, I think I may have already posted an example on another older thread somewhere on how to do that. In the interim, feel free to search around on here because I know there are existing examples of using the API to attach a file. So you'll need to test this under as many conditions as you can to ensure it works.Īs for attaching to the computer record in the JSS, give me a few and I'll post some code to do that as well. I've seen some environments that block sending email from the command line, and the email ends up stuck in the local machine's outbox. The results are saved to your desktop as: Computer-DiskUsage.txt and " "$emailRec"įew other items: you can also add both cc's and bcc's to any email by doing something like: -c -b -c is CC and -b is BCC One main issue with OmniDiskSweeper is that it wont allow for deleting any files owned by root.

It is safe, virus free, and completely free for you not to have to worry about anything else when doing searches on your whole computer without worrying about it. ![]() To aid end-users in determining where all their hard drive space has gone, we have a Self Service policy which leverages du and outputs text files of the top 75 directories of the root volume and the user's home folder.

Katawaga drops the Sand Hawk and Megamind the Hellshock, both work wonders on MH10. ![]() Although you certainly can, my advice if you are going to jump into MH10 is to farm Katawaga jr or Megamind at start, Katawaga can be instakilled with pre-MH2.0 gear and both are easy fights regardless. MH10 is supposed to be the hardest mode and not meant to just jump in. So TVHM + Mayhem will be even more bullet spongy enemies. There'll be less annoying modifiers and enemies will be much elss bullet spongy, plus, i like to use all kinds of guns, especially ones with fun/weird quirks ^^Īs for true vault hunter mode, all enemies will be harder since they will be scaled to your level, so default have more hp. **Note: My pre-mayhem 2.0 M0 weapons still shreds on M5, and only start to become weak when i reached M7.**įor me, I'm using the sand hawk/yellowcake atm on M10 for easy farms, until i get M10 version of my previous weapons and then going to play on M6/M7 after i got all the weapons. However, if you want to try out and use a variety of different weapons, I'd recommend farming M5+ for those weapons and then play M5+, as M5+ versions of old weapons can still kick ass as long as you are not on M9/M10. So my recommendation is that, if you don't mind using just a few weapons and you have M10 version of these "specific" weapons, then you should play M10, cos everything below that will be super easy with these weapons (sand hawk, yellowcake, OPQ system, Kaoson etc.). Using the sand hawk/OPQ/yellowcake, M10 enemies goes down relatively easily. ![]() I am currently farming M10 weapons, new ones (sand hawk, yellowcake etc) and the old ones i used to use (cutsman, alchemist etc.). I completely agree with you that the enemies in M10 with 12,500% hp is not balanced at all, cos at that kind of health level, literally only 8-10 guns really matter in terms of killing enemies fast. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I’m looking to partner with optimistic visionaries, and this color is exactly what I need. It’s an upbeat, attention-grabbing color. I’ve strategically selected an orange color scheme on part of my site’s landing page. It’s most powerful effect, however, is on the emotions, which in turn affect our actions.Ĭonversioner’s color wheel outlines some of the ways in which we are affected by the colors we see.

Over 20 years ago, studies found that children with violent tendencies will relax and calm down when placed in a pink room. Use colors that cause the right emotion.Ĭolor plays a major role in our emotions. When you look at images of someone who is exhibiting a certain emotion, you will experience that same emotion to some extent, too. Humans tend to mirror one another’s attitudes and actions. This isn’t just some psychological gimmick. These are emotions that Evernote users-to-be may want to feel, too. The user, looking at this picture, may also feel the pangs of romantic emotions, and then want to look for a match.Įvernote’s landing page pictures a woman who looks confident, organized, and in control. Usually, these people are expressing an emotion that the user is supposed to feel.ĮHarmony uses a picture of two people who are obviously in love. Pictures of people are remarkably effective. And because of that feeling, they decide to convert. Landing pages that use pictures of people can affect the emotions, too - perhaps not in a tear-jerking way, but at least in such a way that the user will feel something. In a way that is both immediate and unavoidable, our emotions are affected by what we see. We are drawn to such pictures because we can identify with the person in the picture. We see emotion in their eyes and in their faces and in their body language. ![]() But what types of pictures are the most emotionally powerful? Use images of people.Īs a general rule, pictures have the most power in affecting emotion. Then, you use the techniques described below to tap into those emotional needs on your landing pages. All you need to do is identify which of these emotional needs your customers have. ![]() There are a basic set of human needs and desires. If you design outdoor living spaces, then your customers want relaxation or enjoyment or respect from their neighbors.If you are providing consulting services for office organization, then your customer’s emotional needs are for control or stress relief.If you are selling arthritis relief cream, your customer’s emotional needs are for relief.Every purchase and conversion is a driven by the customer’s emotional need. The first step to using emotion in a landing page is discovering the emotions that will make a difference in your audience's actions (assuming that you already know who your customers are). That being said, you don't want to go overboard. In this post, I want to show you is how you can use emotion in the most effective way in your landing pages. Not only is it appropriate to use emotion in your landing page, but it’s essential for the decision-making process. In fact, without guidance from our emotions, decision-making would be nearly impossible. Emotional decision-making is hardwired into our brain’s functionality. ![]() ![]() ![]() Previous / Next Strips Side strips that allow user to browse between panoramas.Previous / Next Dots Side dots that allow user to browse between panoramas.iControl Bar Control bar with Mac style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.Urban Control Bar Urban control bar style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.Rounded Control Bar Rounded control bar style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.Docked Thumbnails with Control Bar Docked Thumbnails control bar style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.D-Pad Control Bar D-Pad control bar style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.Classic Control Bar Classic control bar style to allow your visitor to browse your tour and interact with it.Domain-limited virtual tours: your virtual tours can run only on the websites you authorize. ![]()

Late in the game, the player receives a "long jump module" for the HEV suit, which allows the player to increase the horizontal distance and speed of jumps by crouching before jumping. Instead, such organisms occasionally define chapters, and the player is generally expected to use the terrain, rather than firepower, to kill the boss. There are few bosses in the conventional sense, where the player defeats a superior opponent by direct confrontation. Some puzzles involve using the environment to kill an enemy, like turning a valve to spray hot steam at their enemies. The game regularly integrates puzzles, such as navigating a maze of conveyor belts or using nearby boxes to build a small staircase to the next area the player must travel to. Progress through the world is continuous, except for short pauses for loading. Half-Life has no levels it instead divides the game into chapters, whose titles flash on the screen as the player moves through the game. In line with this, the player rarely loses the ability to control the player character, who never speaks and is never actually seen in the game the player sees "through his eyes" for the entire length of the game. Compared to most first-person shooters of the time, which relied on cut-scene intermissions to detail their plotlines, Half-Life 's story is told mostly using scripted sequences (bar one short cutscene), keeping the player in control of the first-person viewpoint. Unlike most of its peers at the time, Half-Life uses scripted sequences, such as a Vortigaunt ramming down a door, to advance major plot points. Half-Life is a first-person shooter (FPS) that requires the player to perform combat tasks and puzzle solving to advance through the game. In this scene, the player must bypass a dam reservoir guarded by an AH-64 Apache attack helicopter, a squad of marines, and a gun emplacement. It was followed by Half-Life 2 (2004), Half-Life 2: Episode One (2006), Half-Life 2: Episode Two (2007) and Half-Life: Alyx (2020). Half-Life inspired numerous fan-made mods, some of which became standalone games, such as Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat and Sven Co-op. In 2020, Crowbar Collective released an unofficial remake, Black Mesa. Valve ported Half-Life to its Source engine as Half-Life: Source in 2004. It was ported to the PlayStation 2 in 2001, along with the expansion Half-Life: Decay, and to OS X and Linux in 2013. It was followed by the expansion packs Opposing Force (1999) and Blue Shift (2001), developed by Gearbox Software. By 2008, it had sold over nine million copies. It is considered one of the most influential FPS games and one of the best video games ever made. Half-Life received acclaim for its graphics, gameplay, and narrative, and won over 50 PC " Game of the Year" awards. The science fiction novelist Marc Laidlaw was hired to shape the story and assist with design. Valve developed using GoldSrc, a heavily modified version of the Quake engine, licensed from id Software. Valve co-founder Gabe Newell said that the team was disappointed with the lack of innovation in the FPS genre, and aimed to create an immersive world rather than a "shooting gallery". Unlike other games of the time, the player has almost uninterrupted control of the player character, and the story is told mostly in scripted sequences rather than cutscenes. The gameplay consists of combat, exploration, and puzzle-solving. Players assume the role of Gordon Freeman, a scientist who must escape the Black Mesa Research Facility after it is invaded by aliens. It was Valve's debut product and the first game in the Half-Life series. Half-Life is a 1998 first-person shooter (FPS) game developed by Valve and published by Sierra Studios for Windows. ![]() ![]() ![]() For competitive players, high score records are kept for users. ![]() Users see statistics about scores, speeds and bonus points at the end of every game. By level three on the same activity, they must identify words that match one of four given patterns. For example, the “Push Sort” level one activity demands that students identify words that match one of two given patterns. Users can control the complexity of the task at each level, as well. The game-like feel to the app will appeal to older students, making this app especially useful for remedial readers. ISort Words offers fast-paced sorting games that rely on the player’s ability to rapidly scan words and notice letter clusters that match. It would make a great vocabulary extension activity for many students. On the other hand, the words are all phonetically regular, and there is no reason a beginning reader would have trouble sounding them out. For example, level 1 words include words like “broil” and “forlorn.” It would be nice if the user or the teacher had a bit more control over the vocabulary used at each level, or could assign specific word patterns for students to practice. The words formed at each level are a bit on the challenging side. This would be an excellent activity to practice rhyming word recognition as well as sound substitution. In addition, the app includes an exploration mode, where students can build words by choosing a word pattern and then placing consonants, digraphs and blends in front to create rhyming words. ![]() After each game, users (and teachers) can see a list of troublesome words that elicited incorrect responses or that had the slowest correct responses. There are over 70 word patterns covered, including long vowel spellings, short vowel spellings, diphthong spellings, and R-controlled vowel spellings. There are three game activities of increasing complexity, each with three levels of word complexity and demanding increasing speed of response. ![]() The system is designed to build speed and accuracy with word recognition. This app offers clean, fun practice with word analysis skills. Swiping an incorrect word does not cause such a separation, but the word turns red. Swiping a correct word separates the onset from the rime. In the Swipe Sort activity, players must swipe their finger across words that match the target with the same ending letter cluster. For example, in the Speed Sort activity, correctly placed words turn green and incorrect responses turn red. Game authors also make good use of animation and color to show correct and incorrect responses. The Options panel gives users a lot of control over the look and feel of the activity, including the ability to turn sounds on or off, to turn music on or off, to turn tutorials on or off, or to reset the statistics. Users can even reset scores to begin again. The skills covered are vital for efficient reading, and the levels allow for a range of abilities and experience. Game play is entertaining and fast-paced, with ample opportunity for competition with friends or previous scores. Troublesome words clearly listed Quality.Since it’s crucial that students build speed at word recognition, this app will provide a fun avenue to build skills. ISort Words gives readers practice at rapid recognition of words, letter clusters, beginnings and endings. ![]() |
