The seventh isn't actually a class but addresses the non-crystalline minerals. Through the help of science and the creation of a crystal class system, we are able to organize crystals into six/seven categories that match their internal crystal structure with categories that relate to how the crystals can assist us. Understanding the energy matrices with crystals, forms the basis for selecting, arranging and using crystals on a crystal grid. He teaches that through modern science we can actually see six secret energy structures of crystals which has helped to unravel much of their mysteries. No matter what your needs, with a little knowledge you can construct your own highly effective Crystal Grid to align and amplify the Universal Life Force for any purpose. In the case of Grids, there is definitely strength in numbers. Think of Crystal Grids as you having a whole team of healers focusing on one specific and specialized area. Crystal Grids can often be more powerful or effective than individual crystals because you are combining a variety of crystals energies to work together. Individual crystals are wonderful and effective on their own, but there are times when something more is needed. Creating and utilizing Crystal Grids is a powerful tool to add to your self-healing tool belt. A Crystal Grid is utilizing the benefits of a variety of crystals in a certain arrangement in combination with Sacred Geometry, Colour Rays, Universal Life Forces (sun, moon & earth) and Healing Affirmations to achieve a specific outcome.

That is my two cents which is why I do not call it a lazy port and rather refer to it as part of a creative decision. That and the Crash and Spyro Trilogy bundles also shared a ton of assets between games between core gameplay mechanics, textures, model compared the completely different game feels between Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy (those games also have very different art styles so it be a far larger undertaking than Crash and Spyro) If Nintendo were to remake Mario 64 it should be as it's own package rather than a limited time re-release to make sure it gets the polish and time that kind of remake deserves. 1) with three 3D games the size of Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy. That and All-Stars was so much easier to remake back in the day because of shared assets that and you cannot compare the scope of remaking three 2D games (Lost Levels hardly counts as that was just a remix of Super Mario Bros. That and if they completely remade Mario 64 similar to Crash and Spyro it makes the other two games look older and not show an accurate evolution of the series so they'd have to remake them too. Think of this the Crash and Spyro releases did not sell as well as Mario 3D All-Stars and that is just a fact. Tue 20th Apr I say they made the right call.So it was a creative decision you can agree or disagree with it as much as you want. As far as implementation it take maybe an hour at most to remove the FPS limiter in the emulator for the game considering that is what they did for Mario Sunshine. And if you are talking about 60fps? It was Nintendo's creative choice to not port Mario 64 with 60fps to Switch as it's not like they couldn't they chose not to. it's kinda redundant feature as you don't even need to implement one when you play. But, if you wanted to you can just as easily not save your progress while you play or delete your file if you die. If you are talking about permadeath I think that is a rather silly feature to put in a Mario game. Unlike Microsoft they do not own a storefront on PC nor does it promote another part of their business like Microsoft owning Windows and Xbox to even have one. Nintendo has no incentive to release a PC port of any of their games. The first image is a triangular prism and has an equilateral triangle for its cross section.

A prism with a pentagon-shaped cross-section is a pentagonal prism. A prism with a triangle-shaped cross-section is a triangular prism. The polygon shape of the cross-section may be used to name the prism. That means that the cross-section is the same throughout the length of the prism. There is a red cross next to the cylinder.

But feel free to adjust to your spice preferences as needed. Jalapeño and chili powder: If you like your salsa with a kick, the fresh jalapeño and chili powder will bring on the heat. Mangoes will continue to ripen over time, but you can speed up the process by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a couple of days.īell pepper and red onion: Add crunch and a pop of color with peppers and onions. It’s important to use ripe mangoes that are tender (but never mushy). Mango: The star of this tropical fruit salsa is sweet and slightly tart. Once you know how to cut a mango, just toss it together with the rest of the ingredients in a bowl. How do you make mango salsa from scratch? It’s perfect for easy entertaining-whether you serve it as an appetizer, condiment, or BBQ side. The fruit gets tossed together with lime juice and crunchy veggies (like bell pepper, red onion, and jalapeño), but you can easily make it your own by adding multi-color peppers, fresh herbs, or even diced avocado. I served this dish with some fried rice – the recipe ain’t perfect yet so I’m not sharing – but you can also just have the chicken with the salsa or just plain white rice.There are so many fun ways to serve salsa-from fresh pico de gallo to chunky restaurant-style salsa-but if you’re looking for something new, try this tropical twist: mango salsa! The key to this summery and colorful salsa is using fresh mangoes that are juicy and ripe. Place in the refrigerator, covered, for at least 1 hour.ġ5) Pan-fry/grill the chicken till cooked through. I decided to add more onion for more crunch. I hope I’m making you all hungry enough to go cook this dish!Ĥ) Alternatively, pound the chicken breasts until they are of even thickness.ĥ) Grate a ginger, a little garlic and snip in a chilli padiħ) Add in the mangoes (I decided to mash the mangoes later on).ĩ) For the salsa, chop some tomato and mango.ġ4) Give it a toss and adjust the seasonings. The bite of the raw red onion, the fragrant and crunch of coriander, the sweetness and juiciness of the mango and tomato and the tang from the lime all combined together into one very delicious concoction. This salsa, though I modified the recipe a little as I don’t have some of the ingredients, is every bit AMAZING. What brings this dish up a notch is definitely the mango salsa. The resulting chicken does not have a very pronounced mango flavour, probably because I used a bit too much ginger and the lack of the grilling sauce, but it was still pretty tender, juicy and gingery. (Another exception is when the chicken breast is served with a sauce, like this very yummy pan-fried chicken breast with mushrooms.) I also added a bit of soy sauce to colour the chicken as well as to enhance the marinade. I usually won’t use chicken breast in a dish as a main course as it’s pretty dry and tough, however, I know the lime juice and ginger will help tenderize the meat so I still sticked with it. There are 3 components in Bobbi’s recipe, the marinade, grilling sauce and the salsa, but I omitted the grilling sauce because I really can’t bear with the thought of using any more mangoes in the dish – I was dying to eat the fruit as it is, plus I was lazy (okay lazy was the real reason…) If not for the fact that they are pretty heaty, I would love to eat them everyday! These bright, yellow, lovely fruits are sweet, sticky and juicy. Mangoes, especially Thai mangoes, are one of our favourite fruits. When Bobbi posted her Tropical Spa Mango Chicken recipe recently, I was intrigued. I’ve seen Korean, Chinese, Western, Italian and Thai dishes being featured on her blog, all look mouthwatering delicious! She also revamped her site recently, and I LOVE her search page – I can search ingredients, difficulty levels, cuisine type… very useful! Bobbi creates all these amazing international dishes that her kids all love. Today’s recipe is adapted from Bobbi, from Bam’s Kitchen. (Don’t worry, I’ll be posting something sweet on the next recipe post!) Since it’s a lot easier to scale cooking recipes down for 2-4 people than baking recipes, I’ve been cooking a lot more these days – which proved to be really fun, interesting and tasty. As I’m not in office most of the time, I can’t bring the baked goods to office and share the fats goodness with my colleagues. I would love to bake desserts every week (in fact I would love to bake almost everyday), but the butter, sugar and the occasional chocolate are contributing to the disappearance of my waist (thankfully it’s still here).

These are great numbers from a 600 cc motorcycle but are a little down on the previous generation.Īrguably the latest Yamaha YZF-R6 has a ten horsepower advantage at wheels over the original, a number that could be higher if it were not for the stringent noise and emissions regulations already mentioned.įrom 2006 onward is where the YZF-R6 got more powerful than the previous generations but it did come at a cost to the midrange and bottom end. The latest Yamaha YZF-R6 produces 110 horsepower at 15,000 rpm and 43 ft/lb delivered at 11,000 rpm. The actual hardest part is meeting all of these ever more aggressive regulations without actually losing power. It’s hard enough adding more power to an engine that is already on the borderline of its potential without restrictions. Motorcycle manufacturers have an incredibly hard time designing very high revving high output engines that also have to abide by ever more stringent noise and emissions regulations. Much of the latest YZF-R6’s diminishing power can be attributed to the very stringent noise and emissions regulations that were not so strict for previous generations. The generation 3 YZF-R6’s actually are a little more powerful than the latest model which is surprising While the generation 4 YZF-R6 has seen many tweaks to the engine over the original 1999 model – including an even more over-square motor at 67.0 mm x 42.5 mm, it only makes a claimed 3 hp more at the crank over the original. I would argue that the Yamaha YZF-R6 is the more attractive motorcycle. Now though, like most current Supersport and Superbikes the latest YZF-R6 has an array of electronic rider aids and very up-to-date modern styling that the 2020 Yamaha R1 took much of its inspiration from. Roll on to today, and we have the fourth generation of the YZF-R6. Most other bikes in the class at the time topped out at around 13,500 rpm which by any standard is still very impressive.Īs a result of the R6’s ability to rev so astronomically high, as a result, it produced more peak horsepower at around (5-10 at the wheels) over its closest competitors such as Honda’s CBR600F4i and later on the CBR600RR. It has a very aggressive bore and stroke of 65.5 mm × 44.5 mm. The Yamaha YZF-R6’s ability to rev so high was possible via an impressively designed and compact extremely over-square short-stroke motor. The needle on the tacho will actually show north of 16,500 rpm but it’s optimistic just like the speedometer. The import Japan only 250 cc pocket rockets such as the CBR2500RR were close, making a wild 45 horsepower from only 249 cc but they made around 180 hp per litre.Īs motorcyclists, we are used to high revving high output engines but the original Yamaha YZF-R6 took it to the extreme and was able to rev to an astonishing 15,500 rpm plus. The first generation YZF-R6 was the first production normally aspirated engine to hit the magic 200 hp per litre mark, a number only a Formula One car could match and beat. The Yamaha YZF-R6 is also the most popular club racer too in domestic championships all over the world, and has been for years racking up countless championships at all levels. The latest Championship is coming about via Andrea Locatelli as of this week and time of writing. While this little banzai Yamaha has seen many changes throughout the course of its life, it has remained as deathly focused as ever and racking up 8 World Supersport Championships since 1999. It is amazing to think Yamaha’s YZF-R6 has been with us since 1999 and twenty-plus years.

As cord cutters, what you always tell others (and yourself) is “I only watch like 5 channels!” Well, time to put your monty where your mouth is. However, Spectrum also has a very quietly advertised package called TV Choice (confused yet on this naming?) and this is where things get good. But like so many other other streaming services, they pick the channels, and if you don’t like what they’re offering and want more ‘tiers’, the price is going to jump right back up into the same $40+ range you can get almost anywhere else. It works on Rokus and most other devices you probaably have and seems to look a lot like an independent streaming offering. Recently, Spectrum introduced a “TV Stream” package which consists of 25 channels for about 25 bucks, on the idea that if you’re going to pay for a slim TV bundle with only a few channels, you may as well pay them for it. Enter Spectrum TV Stream and TV Choice Packages Needless to say we were still on the hunt for an alternative, and despite some promising recent developments in YouTube TV land, a lack of full Viacom and Turner channels meant it was still out of the running for us. I really don’t know how it’s possible that Sling managed to negotiate such a bad deal with the channel providers when it came to pausing or commercial skipping, but boy did they do just that. And just forget about skipping commercials on the majority of shows you record for later. Nothing is more frustrating than being told you can’t use a feature you’re paying extra to have. Kiss that modus operandi goodbye, dear cord cutter. If you’ve ever used TiVo or any decent DVR before, you are probably accustomed to watching live TV a certain way and it goes something like: find something you want to watch, select that channel, pause at the first commercial break to let the recording buffer fill up, come back in a few minutes, skip over the commercials, and repeat. MSNBC?! That’s right, you can’t pause the news in Sling TV land. Sling DVR: Nothing is more frustrating than being told you can’t use a feature you’re paying extra to have.īut have you used the DVR/live TV pause feature on Sling? Want to pause that NFL Network show you’re watching? Nah. All for about $40, still under Verizon’s ‘best’ deal we could figure out how to get at least. We more or less had settled on Sling, which had both a mix of channels we liked and features we were used to from years of TiVo: a cloud DVR and ability to pause live TV. We tried Hulu and I balked at the commercial infestation that comes with their basic $40 TV package, unless you shell out even more money. We tried Playstation Vue and found it ok, but pricey to get all the channels we wanted. We still watch traditional TV occasionally in my house, so we had to find something to satiate that need. So I’m willing to forgive a momentary loss of service now and again if my cable modem hasn’t been rebooted recently enough, and it’s suddenly overwhelmed by a tidal wave of kids streaming YouTube and online gaming. At the best of times, the broadband tests say our speed gets up into maybe the 80 Mbit/s range, and for a much more manageable $40 a month. That was the last straw, goodbye Verizon.īeing fortunate enough to live in one of the few areas in America with somewhat of a choice of broadband provider, I signed up with Charter I mean Spectrum for plain and simple Internet. Then, I was told when canceling my service on the 2nd call that they could have gotten my cost down as low as $65, if I had figured out how to threaten them in just the right way the first time I called, whatever that means. Somehow having TV in the bundle actually lowers the price (probably due to some stupid government subsidy). If only I’d threatened to cancel in just the right way…Īnyway, after making my complaints known, and listening to FiOS customer service hemming and hawing, the best Big Red could do for me was $95/month, still including local channels by the way. But I started to wonder more and more as the bills came rolling in: is that reliability worth such a mark-up, when Verizon was recently offering Internet-only plans for $40 for new customers (and only new customers)? I decided no. Mine came when I called Verizon this summer to try and get a better price than the $120+ I was paying for (to be honest, decently fast and pretty reliable) FiOS Internet along with an assortment of cable channels we almost never used. Every cord cutter knows what their breaking point was. Let’s be clear: there is no better feeling than the day you break up with your Internet/TV/Phone provider and cut the cord.
