This stuff is pretty harsh and the need for a vented hood was a no-brainer. So, Robb started using this solution at Sandia Labs, but installed a vented hood system over the quench tank. Robb found that the sodium hydroxide quench resulted in average Rockwell ratings in the 43-45 range, with an occasional test result as high as 48. Generally speaking, in a plain water quench you shouldn't expect to get more than Rockwell ratings in the low to mid 30's. It may get a little harder than if annealed, however it doesn't harden in the typical toolmaker's sense of hardening. Metallurgists and others will tell you quite readily that mild steel won't harden. The manufacturers claimed that it was also suitable for many tools, but that it should be quenched in a solution of sodium hydroxide.Īt Sandia Labs, Robb and his cohorts experimented with this lye quench and, a bit to their surprise, they found that mild steel hardened considerably more that expected. Mild steel (1005, 1018, and the like) was touted as the all purpose steel destined to replace wrought iron. The Bessemer process gave the steel manufacturers the ability to produce steel in a variety of carbon levels. Here's what he had to say about it at the Guild of Metalsmiths 1997 Fall Conference:īefore the Bessemer process made it feasible to effectively control the amount of carbon in steel, blacksmiths generally had only iron or tool steel to work with. There is often a great deal of disbelief as to the efficacy of this Super Quench. Yes, there are some errors, but generally minor. Whether its on the internet group "theforge", at ABANA chapter conferences, or just general discussion between a couple of friendly smiths, when the subject of Robb Gunter's "Super Quench" comes up, most of it is fact, but some of what is passed around is erroneous. It will result in a spectacular visit from the TINK fairy.Ask me how I know. A bent spike will still hold a rail whereas a broken spike will not.ĭo not and I repeat do not use this stuff on anything higher than about. The reasoning is that the railroads want mild steel that will bend rather than break. Knife blade steels typically contain between 0.85% and 1.5% carbon, or 3-5 times as much carbon as a "High Carbon" railroad spike. According to the specifications, low carbon spikes may contain no more than 0.12% carbon and "High Carbon" spikes may contain NO MORE THAN 0.30% carbon. The problem is that what the railroads consider "High Carbon" is equivalent to what a knifemaker would call low carbon mild steel.Īccording to specifications set forth by American Railway Engineering Association there are two classes of railroad spikes, low carbon track spikes used on straight sections of railroads and high carbon steel track spikes used on curves and switches. One big misunderstanding comes from railroad spikes that are marked "HC" for "High Carbon". However, they simply do not contain enough carbon to make a good blade. Railroad spikes are readily available, usually for free, they are a novel item, and they can make a perfectly useable knife. Nearly every bladesmith has made knives from railroad spikes. Another "high carbon" misconception involves railroad spikes.

But overall it appears that Ancestry is testing the waters for an a la carte pricing scheme so bent on nickel and diming its customers that even a mobile phone carrier would think twice about implementing it. There are a LOT of potential changes to discuss here. Below are some screenshots of proposed price structures from the survey: The new proposed structure is a drastic departure and appears to charge for DNA matches among other items that previously did not require a membership. Viewing the trees of matches requires a membership, though any of the three levels will suffice. records, World Explorer has access to worldwide records, and All Access has access to records from Ancestry-owned sites and Fold3.Ĭurrently, DNA Matches do not require a membership to view the matches, view ethnicity results, or contact matches. The differences between these three are pretty straightforward. Discovery Membership for $19.99/mo, World Explorer Membership for $34.99, and All Access Membership for $44.99. Currently, Ancestry (at least in the USA) offers a U.S. The differences in the proposals floated in the survey are significant from Ancestry’s current price structure.

Zagara has a organic animation on her back, that looks a bit blocky. The light will manipulate the ground appearance, to track my position and allow me to stay there, without having to layer and animate an object to remember it. Then make a transparent light source, (Say hero light radius) that gpu will triangulate my position based off. So the idea is, I can make multiple materials on the ground. So long as there’s a pattern or edge or what ever type of something there, the GPU is already working on this spot that allows me to stay there as well. Is it using a texture? Maybe it’s a long drawn out process… Tessellating this may allow the gpu to render my current position, without using the CPU to confirm it and save it. Is there a vertex there? How does remember where to keep me. Im looking at the ground in game wondering, how it is the game knows where I am standing. Same idea in a different sense, with new tools to accomplish it.Įxample maybe difficult for me to tell, without getting away from the point. Oh yeah 4 LODS will do this I suppose in due process, like building a base mesh then adding more to it each time to produce a result. The limitations will how be many materials you support per object and how many variants of patterns, you allow per material. These spots are then recognized as a material, then GPU then will render these materials as a single object though with different consistencies in shading. You’ll flag a set vertex and edges with a pattern, this flag will be taken by the GPU to produce a pattern in the isolated spots. Assuming there’s not enough vertex’s to work with, you’ll have the GPU add some pattern of geometry based on guides. I am talking about both texture mapping and tessellating, for advancement in material gpu level automated recognition. With Tessellation you’re adding a very expensive operation for no benefit because your camera distance doesn’t move far enough. HOTS IIRC does this which is how the character model on the screen appears so detailed but it doesn’t crash your game with that much geometry in a match. Tessellation is rather expensive anyway, it’s better to use multiple levels of LOD like how Overwatch has 4 levels of LOD for character models. Aliasing is computing the average color between pixels to remove jaggies. Usually a normal or bump map is used for this.Īre you confusing aliasing with tessellation? Tessellation is polygonal geometry. Tessellation is the mathematical addition of triangles to add more geometry to a model that wasn’t originally modeled with that level of geometry. Still a still image is boring and need some attention to details, that I am sure you don’t want to manually setup. A guide for the GPU to shade and light even if unchanging. You’re looking down on the ground unchanged I suppose it’ll only be a guide to texturing the ground, or one sided trees and buildings unchanging also need a guide to texture on. It looks cool and is the length the whole city block, but in order to replicate that in game, there needs to be geometry to support the structure of texturing.Īnd the last example I posted about armor plates bending and sckewing was just an additional though I noticed and remembered to post. Example being we have a wall in our city, people have tagged and spray painted all over. I suppose I also know where you guys are coming from, considering tessellation as a large surface mapping. I mean both examples are most likely done in this game, or well managed geometry hides the things I speak of. Armor and other objects have hard corner edges, when I think they are supposed to be rounded.Įxample detailing embossing textures on a sword or armor, making it look like it’s popping or conclave. I see the same type of thing, on a lot of the characters in game. It’s more like isolated tessellation, for surface texturing and smooth edging.Įxample you’ll see a lot less these days is, wheels that aren’t round but instead blocky. Ashanti wrote an amazing song that, by itself, has incredible power and emotional resonance. Įsta Soler, founder and president of the Family Violence Prevention Fund said: "When we heard 'Rain on Me' and saw the Ashanti LidRock mini movie, we knew the powerful messages about violence that they artfully convey would speak to a lot of people. Proceeds from sales of the LidRock discs were put toward the FVPF. LidRock and the Family Violence Prevention Fund Īshanti partnered with LidRock and the San Francisco-based Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF) to raise awareness of domestic violence during National Domestic Violence Awareness Month and to help distribute the mini-movie, which was also shown on MTV, BET, and other music video programs. There are three versions of the video: one where the song begins at the start with the video's end showing Ashanti still sitting in a limo looking out of the window the second with Ashanti singing in the rain wearing a yellow dress as scenes from the first video play in between, and the third (the mini-movie), which has more dialogue spoken by Ashanti and Tate themselves. In the mini-movie version, we see Tate driving in a car as previous scenes are shown before he is hit by a truck and killed. After a last confrontation, Ashanti ends the relationship as sounds of rain and thunder are heard gradually increasing leaving André behind. Towards the climax, Tate is caught cheating on Ashanti with another girl as she tells him to leave. In the video, Ashanti and Tate (playing her boyfriend André) are shown in a relationship together while close-up scenes of her bruised face and glimpses of the two of them fighting appear throughout. The abusive boyfriend was played by actor Larenz Tate, best known for starring in Dead Presidents, a film which also features " The Look of Love" by Isaac Hayes. Ashanti explained: "We wanted to make a short movie that was 'real' - that showed that no matter if you're rich or poor, black or white, famous or not, domestic violence can touch your life." Wanting to make a cinematic and narrative-driven video for the song, she worked with LidRock and director Hype Williams to produce the clip. Records labelmates Charli "Chuck" Baltimore and Ja Rule.Īshanti's lyrics for "Rain on Me" address the pains and challenges of facing, and eventually overcoming, an abusive relationship. The remix also features Hussein Fatal and fellow The Inc. The rap remix found on the Collectibles by Ashanti album interpolates "Can I Live" by rapper Jay-Z, which also samples the same Hayes song (and also produced by Irv Gotti). The song's music video was released on August 28, 2003, and features Ashanti playing a superstar abused by a jealous boyfriend, played by actor Larenz Tate. In 2004, the song earned Ashanti a Grammy nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance. "Rain on Me" reached number seven on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and the top 20 in the United Kingdom. It contains a sample of " The Look of Love" by Isaac Hayes that was used on Snoop Dogg's song "G'z Up Hoes Down", a track that was removed from his debut album Doggystyle for sample clearance issues (and later cleared for the compilation album 15 Years on Death Row). " Rain on Me" is a song by R&B singer Ashanti, released in August 2003 as a single from her second album Chapter II. Commanding Coolness: Referred to as "Commander" in the film, despite being credited as a "Moff".The Cameo: He appears in a non-speaking role at a meeting of the Empire's Joint Chiefs during Tarkin.However, once Vader begins to Force-choke him, Jerjerrod clarifies that it's the Emperor's command, to which the Sith Lord agrees to wait. Bullying a Dragon: Attempts this in a deleted scene, in which he smugly tells Vader that he may not enter the Emperor's Tower.Beleaguered Bureaucrat: This is the most characterization he receives in the film, where he desperately tries to finish the Death Star II before the Emperor finds fault with him.All There in the Manual: His first name and homeworld were established in the reference guide Ultimate Star Wars.Whereas deleted scenes from the film have him hesitate when ordered to fire on Endor, in the book he shows no such qualms. In the novelization, he's a sociopathic, self-important, arrogant, petty, sadistic bully who relishes the prospect of killing the Rebels. Adaptational Villainy: In the film, he's merely one of Vader's flunkies, not necessarily evil, but more concerned about doing his job and keeping his head.An architect and logistics officer, he was responsible for overseeing the construction of the second Death Star. Jerjerrod was the commanding officer of the second Death Star and a member of the Imperial Navy's Joint Chiefs. At full power, the superlaser would probably not just destroy any rebel ship, but punch straight through, keep on going, and possibly take out one of their own Star Destroyers behind them.
It is also super cheap worth every penny and then some.Ĭomments: Best ice fishing lure there is for panfish in my opinion! I do change the hooks to a wider gap light wire. Losing a expensive lure on the cast is not a nice thing to experience.Ĭomments: Sweet lure amazing action and works on all kinds of fish caught a pike on my first time using it. A warning to those buying the heavier weight lures, make sure you invest in the swivel ring. I noticed the lighter lures did come with a split ring. This resulted in the loss of the lure after a hour or two of fishing. Great value, and the smaller models work well for pan fish!Ĭomments: I purchased a Kastmaster 1 OZ chrome to pair with a Super Fluke to fish heavy grass/cover, worked great but I noticed that the heavier lure did not come with a split ring on the line tying end of the lure. They work well for schooling fish, but I suggest switching out the treble for a higher quality, sharper hook. My only issue is snapping them of on a cast and snagging them on a log or in a tree.Ĭomments: I have several of these lures, in various weights. I think the flash and erratic swimming motion just drives fish nuts, not to me to mention the versatility of the lure as it casts easy even into the wind. I've got about every color and size kastmaster there is, I love these things.Ĭomments: I have 6 or 7 kastmasters in different colors and sizes. Since then I've figured out the proper colors and presentation and have been catching 5+ pound trout nearly every trip to that lake with these lures. Corrosion-resistant fishing spoons Durable brass construction. After thousands of casts and countless miles of trolling with every lure imaginable I finally tried a kastmaster and hooked up to my first lahonton. Shop a wide selection of Acme Kastmaster Spoon at DICKS Sporting Goods and order online. The barrel swivel won't affect the lure's performance.Ĭomments: There's a small lake in Washington that is full of monster lahonton cut throat trout. Install a small #7 or #8 barrel swivel to the split ring to reduce line twist. Simple, effective, and easy to throw on bait casting and spinning equipment. I have caught black/white bass species and trout on these lures in cold water conditions when no other lure in my tackle would produce. Comments: I have owned these Kastmaster jigging spoons for probably 25+ years. Moon Drive: a Chain Shift/Roman Cancel/Overdrive-based power-up that can be activated by using all of Moon Icons any time with more than one half full.These deal greater damage than regular Specials, and are not only powerful but easy to activate with simple controls using combinations of the directional buttons and attack buttons. Moon Skills: very powerful Specials that can be unleashed by consuming the Moon Icons that appear next to the Life Gauge.However, the original function of Rapid Beat is required in Mission Mode. As of August 2022, Rapid Beat has option through either pressing A+B after a normal button, or being disabled. However, once a same button is pressed second times, the third followup will immediately goes to a Launcher (regular main button outside Rapid Beat is universally 3C) while on the ground and Air Throw while in the air, meaning Reverse Beat cannot be used normally. Rapid Beat allows players to execute combinations with repeated presses of the attack buttons.There are new gameplay systems introduced: Most of the gameplay systems carried over from the Act games, with the exception of Guard Meter and Moon Styles. Len: Appears as a silhouette following the credits of Boss Rush 4, where she attacks Neco-Arc.Jingle Abel Meuniere: Appears in Edmond Dantès ending.Shiki Nanaya: Appears as an opponent Noel's Boss Rush stage, in addition of having different voice lines to differentiate from Shiki Tohno.Fou: Appears in Mash's ending Part A and Edmond's ending.EMIYA (Archer): Appears in Mash's ending Part A and Edmond's ending.Leonardo da Vinci: Appears in Mash's ending Part A and Edmond's ending.Ritsuka Fujimaru (Male version): Appears in Mash's ending Part A and Edmond's ending.Choosing one of their color palette will change to one of the Neco spirit counterparts' voice actress. Neco Spirits: Among the other Neco Spirits, there are counterparts of other major route heroines from original Tsukihime release ( Neco-Ciel for Ciel, Neco-Akiha for Akiha, Neco-Hisui for Hisui and Neco-Kohaku for Kohaku, barring Satsuki).Eco-Arc: Part of Neco-Arc's tricky summon moves.Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg: Mentioned in Aoko's arcade ending.Touko Aozaki: Mentioned in Aoko's arcade ending.Lord El-Melloi II: Mentioned in Aoko's arcade ending.Alice Kuonji: Mentioned in Aoko's arcade ending.Mio Saiki: Only her tent in "Actions in the Lower World" battle stage.Arach: Indirectly mentioned in the beginning of Dead Apostle Noel's arcade mode. Satsuki Yumizuka: Appears in the gallery's special pool artwork, and mentioned in Noel's arcade ending.Master Panda: Part of Miyako's Last Arc, also when Miyako being hit by Powered Ciel's Last Arc.There are a few characters who either appear or are mentioned in the game: There are only 4 guest characters from Fate franchise. It was said that some characters who appeared in the original timeline depicted in the Melty Blood Act sub-series, such as the game series' original main heroine, Sion Eltnam Atlasia are not yet to physically appear in the remake timeline, initially due to this game's timeline continuity taking place before the remade events of Tsukihime, Kagetsu Tohya, and Melty Blood Act sub-series. The roster currently consists of 18 characters (14 initial and 8 DLC rosters). Since the appearance of Artoria Pendragon (Saber) in the initial roster, there is a storyline depicted a crossover between Fate and Tsukihime, dubbed as Neco-Arc Saga, due to Neco-Arc being the main antagonist of the two seasons. However, some of the characters' episode takes place within certain routes in Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon- or Tsukihime -The other side of red garden. Unlike Melty Blood Act sub-series, which took place after both Tsukihime's non-existing route of Satsuki Yumizuka (a year later), and Kagetsu Tohya (a month later) in original timeline, Type: Lumina takes place ten days before Tsukihime -A piece of blue glass moon. |
