I even stopped the garbage man one day and asked for some Waste Management paraphanelia and he gave me a toque with the Waste Management logo on it and some stickers.

The safety element comes with a trade-off – it doesn’t feed slack to the climber very well and when we pulled out slack quickly it had a tendency to lock-up, hindering the climbing process. Lowering a climber felt effortless and totally controlled – mainly due to the long thumb lever where one can really tweak the angle with precision. While safety is all about how you use it – it just felt almost impossible to drop a climber regardless of technique or experience. It also felt like the safest for beginners with a fairly aggressive assisted-lock. This is by far the cheapest of the three devices. Instead, we focused on the devices that followed the classic tubular style. We don’t have much experience with Gri-gri belaying as we controversially believe it isn’t intuitive, so we omitted the Birdie from our process. That being said, the Birdie is cheaper and performed really well. The Birdie seemed to be very similar to the classic auto-locking Gri-Gri which has been around for 30 years without much competition. We both have a Mammut 10mm rope, a classic workhorse.Ĭoming from using an ATC which we both feel is more intuitive, we were more interested in testing the Mega Jul, Smart and Pilot. We currently use a Black Diamond ATC Guide, so we are comfortable with tubular devices. We have been climbing for about 2 years so we are relative newbies – we are mainly focused on outdoor sport climbing. These devices were the Edelrid Mega Jul, Black Diamond ATC Pilot, Mammut Smart and we also tried the auto-locking Beal Birdie. Wanting to be as informed as possible we asked if we could try all the new devices that the CityRock gear shop sold. With the new Edelrid Mega Jul there are now three tubular assisted devices to choose from at the CityRock gear shop, so what better time could there be to do a roundup. Gambling Casinos tell us that “winners know when to stop”, and when you hit your mid-twenties, assisted braking devices start to look like a good idea. We have never “written up” anything before so don’t judge us too hard!Īh, the good old (bug, tube, etc) – it’s classic, dependable, and totally prone to error. We are relative novices and don’t have a mountaineering/trad background, so this is more geared at other newbies looking at getting an auto-lock device for the first time. Myself and buddy Andre were comparing some of the new devices, and saw others had the same questions – so we put together a little comparison to help out. Review by Fabian Humphry and Andrè le Roux CityROCK loved this review found in the forum, so we’ve posted it here for you to enjoy! This game takes that to a whole new level when it comes to getting the stars. It does not store any personal data.As a long time adventure game fan I really hate pixel hunting or should I say I ♥♥♥♥ing hate all the god awful pixel hunting parts in adventure games.

Inside the room you can break one of the boxes for a little surprise.īehind the “Bouncing Side by Side” puzzle on a tiny dune. On the ground there is some wooden planks to break. On the way stop at the half sunken statue. From here continue in the direction of the ruins with two obelisks. Here you will find Freeman’s favourite weapon. Go left of the “Whole Lotta Jamming” puzzle and follow the wall until you see some ruins. Then jump from column to column until you get to the top.įrom the teleporter, if you look in direction of the pyramid, on the left you will see a leaning obelisk. From here jump on the edge sticking out of the exterior wall and follow it to the left until the end. Start from the only stone you can jump on, next jump on the statue and then on the wall. You need to climb to the top of the teleporter room. Jump on this fan ! You will land right next to the teleporter. Use the box to get on the wall and put the fan into the mechanism. From here take the box and the fan to the other side of the nearest sunken contraption. Here start by sending the box outside using the fan, then take the other fan with you before getting outside. Now put one on the air flow, use the other one to jump on it then take it with you before jumping on the wall. In the “Behind the Iron Curtain puzzle”, get to the fan with 2 boxes and bring those up on the platform. To be able to use the telescope you first need to get the key in the water right below it. No get back to the message and stamp it away.īehind the “Alley of the Pressure Plates” you will find it in the middle of the sunken structure. In the “Wrap Around the Corner” puzzle (first one on the left), you will find an “approved” stamp on the Hint Altar. But it will show you and “entry denied” message. Right behind the teleporter you can use the wall and it will open. In the corner you’ll find a slope leading to this Easter egg.įrom the entrance, go to 8 o’clock into the corner of the map. Just right before the entrance of the “Blown Away” puzzle, go to the shadow on the right. Look into the telescope… Spaaaaaaaaaaaaace To manage this you must hold left and bounce on the column during the jump. To get there, use the left fan to jump on the platform on the left. First you need to get the key in the far right area of the puzzle, it’s easy to find. Surprise !!įor the telescope, get Inside “Man on the Moon” puzzle. Power from the “Moonshot” puzzle using the connector and the red laser. On the left side of the moon you can see a connector (Bind the zoom, it help). Here it will be inside a hole in the ground. From here you have to jump on the left side of the tomb entrance. Go right from up the slope leading to the star area. I will only post public recipes that I have in fact cooked, and that my family has enjoyed - at least 3 stars on the above scale.Īll of my photos that I post on the forums are hosted on Flickr. This does not mean it is worse than a one star recipe!! :) No stars - Means that I want to say something, but don't wish to post stars. * - "We would eat this again only with a lot of condiments to mask the taste." It would be good if some changes were made. ** - "We did not like this very much, but we would eat it again if served it. We woud eat it again without any changes, but it's not our favorite." **** - "This is wonderful and we want to see it again fairly often, a new family favorite." ***** - "Scout is not allowed to make this very often because it is highly addictive and will be inhaled on sight!" Dump Cakes, Sweet Salsa Chicken and Wasabi Peanuts are in this category. Beat butter and granulated sugar with a mixer on medium-high speed until pale and fluffy. The only thing that really upsets me enough to be mean is when a poorly written recipe forces me to have to clean my kitchen. Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. Here’s what you’ll need for these magic cookie bars: (Scroll below to the printable recipe card for details and measurements.) Vanilla wafer cookies: These need to be crushed into fine crumbs. I don't believe there is any reason not to. We prefer vanilla wafer cookies for the crust, so we made seven layer bars without Graham crackers. Not every family will like every recipe, and sometimes what you didn't like about a recipe, another family will love! :) I also try to be as nice and polite as possible in my reviews. And I fully appreciate the same from people reviewing my recipes. We try to be very honest and very descriptive with our reviews. I have to admit, it's been a couple of years since I updated this text and in the meantime, my picky picky DD has flowered into a girl who enjoys California rolls, will give almost everything a try, and in general much less picky than the average 7 year old in this area.ĭS, at 2 and a half, asks for salad for lunch and then demolishes it. I reserve the right to bump up or down a half star a recipe based on the actual recipe and how easy it was, etc. Just to let everyone know, after a half hour discussion about it, the boys (DH and Roommate) have settled on ratings meanings. I'm an artist by avocation, and am working to being one by vocation as well. I'm a stay at home mom with two lovely children, a wonderful husband, and 2 hungry roommates. 64 Keebler Vanilla Wafers 4 ounces cream cheese, softened 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 1 tablespoon grated orange peel 1 to 2 tablespoons orange juice 1/.

The scientific culture of the 19th century introduced some "scientific" rationalizations for the myth's origins, by suggesting that the origin of the myth of the roc might lie in embellishments of the often-witnessed power of the eagle that could carry away a newborn lamb. In the modern era, the roc, like many other mythological and folkloric creatures, has entered the bestiaries of some fantasy role-playing games such as Dungeons & Dragons. Ulisse Aldrovandi's Ornithologia (1599) included a woodcut of a roc with a somewhat pig-like elephant in its talons, but in the rational world of the 17th century, the roc was regarded more critically. 1590 or Theodor de Bry in 1594 who showed an elephant being carried off in the roc's talons, or showed the roc destroying entire ships in revenge for destruction of its giant egg, as recounted in the fifth voyage of Sinbad the Sailor. Such descriptions captured the imaginations of later illustrators, such as Stradanus c. Doubtless, it was Polo's description that inspired Antonio Pigafetta, one of Ferdinand Magellan's companions, who wrote or had ghost-written an embroidered account of the circumglobal voyage: in Pigafetta's account the home grounds of the roc were the seas of China. Because of Polo's account, others identified the island as Madagascar, which became the location for stories about other giant birds. In The Arabian Nights the roc appears on a tropical island during Sinbad's second voyage. He explicitly distinguishes the bird from a griffin. Polo claimed that the roc flew to Madagascar "from the southern regions", and that the Great Khan sent messengers to the island who returned with a feather (likely a Raphia frond). And it is so strong that it will seize an elephant in its talons and carry him high into the air and drop him so that he is smashed to pieces having so killed him, the bird swoops down on him and eats him at leisure. It was for all the world like an eagle, but one indeed of enormous size so big in fact that its quills were twelve paces long and thick in proportion. In the 13th century, Marco Polo (as quoted in Attenborough (1961: 32)) stated Rabbi Benjamin of Tudela reported a story reminiscent of the roc in which shipwrecked sailors escaped from a desert island by wrapping themselves in ox-hides and letting griffins carry them off as if they were cattle. The merchants break the roc's egg, Le Magasin pitoresque, Paris, 1865 Western expansion 1690 painting by Franz Rösel von Rosenhof showing two roc-like birds carrying a deer and an elephant a third grasps a lion. The mytheme of Garuda carrying off an elephant that was battling a crocodile appears in two Sanskrit epics, the Mahabharata (I.1353) and the Ramayana (III.39). Common romanizations are ruḵḵ for the Arabic form and ruḵ, rokh or rukh for the Persian form.Įastern origins Illustration by René BullĪccording to art historian Rudolf Wittkower, the idea of the roc had its origins in the story of the fight between the Indian solar bird Garuda and the chthonic serpent Nāga. In both languages, Arabic and Persian, the word is written in the Arabic script as رخ. The English form roc originates via Antoine Galland's French from Arabic ruḵḵ ( Arabic: الرُخّ, romanized: ar-ruḫḫ) and that from Persian ruḵ ( Dari pronunciation: ). The story collection One Thousand and One Nights includes tales " Abd al-Rahman the Maghribi's Story of the Rukh" and " Sinbad the Sailor", both of which include the roc. Ibn Battuta tells of a mountain hovering in the air over the China Seas, which was the roc. The roc appears in Arab geographies and natural history, popularized in Arabian fairy tales and sailors' folklore. The roc is an enormous legendary bird of prey in the popular mythology of the Middle East.

There is something quite unique and special about looking at an area of space with such a wide field of view with both eyes. You would be surprised just how amazing the solar system and deep sky objects can look through a good pair of binoculars. One thing that can be said about Astronomy is that the cost of equipment can ramp up quite quickly for more advanced telescopes and mounts (especially for Astrophotography), however you really don't have to invest much at all to get some fantastic views of the night sky - In fact we would always discourage beginners from jumping in and purchasing expensive equipment from the start, as the learning curve for this is very steep and its easy to become discouraged and loose interest in a hobby which can otherwise provide you with a lifetime of fascination and enjoyment. In fact some of the larger and closer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn and Venus are very easy to locate even from bright city skies and are often mistaken for a bright stars. You just need to know where to look and this is where the planetarium apps on your phone will help - J ust load them up and hold your phone to the sky and as you move around it will tell you what you are looking at, its that simple. away from city lights) our own galaxy the Milky Way and even some of the larger galaxies like Andromeda are also visible to the naked eye as well. For many of us when we look up at the night sky we see lots of stars but some of those may be planets and if you are fortunate enough to live in a dark sky location (eg. Observing the night sky with just the naked eye and no equipment may seem slightly underwhelming at first but actually with the help of various Planetarium Apps now available on your phone (e.g 'Stellarium'), its amazing what you can see without a telescope at all. A much more important thing to consider when choosing your first telescope is actually its aperture - We have more detailed information on this topic in our 'Choosing a Telescope' article which you can view here.īut even before you decide on purchasing any equipment, here are some other ways you can begin your journey in the fascinating and exciting field of Astronomy: This is actually not true, in fact we never recommend purchasing a telescope advertised by its magnification capability. In the field of Astronomy like everything else, using the necessary equipment does come with a learning curve and in this article we will try to cover some of the basics which we hope will offer beginners in this hobby a better idea of what to expect and also offer some advice in getting started in Astronomy.įirst off, there is a tendency for many people to think you need a telescope with the most magnification you can get, to see the best views of space. In fact we are living in quite a privileged time where amateurs now have access to extremely high-tech and advanced optical equipment which allows us to see detailed surface features on the moon, or the rings of Saturn (1.4 billion km away), or even distant galaxies and star clusters (billions of light years away) - all from our own back garden.Īstronomy can enjoyed by anyone at any age and can be made as simple or as complex as you like, depending on how deep you wish to go into it.

Just be aware that the shorter the focal length, the larger the field of view and vice versa. In reality, these conversions are just conventions and for someone who has never used a FF sensor, it doesn’t really make sense. Also, a 50mm mounted in front of a Micro 4/3 sensor will give a field of view equivalent to a 100mm mounted in front of an FF (50×2=100). As the Micro 4/3 format has a diagonal 2x smaller than the FF (43.3/21.6=2), the focal length is multiplied by 2 to get the equivalent in FF.So, a 50mm mounted on an APS-C body will give a field of view equivalent to a 75mm mounted on a FF sensor (50×1.5=75), The APS-C format having a diagonal 1.5x smaller than the FF (43.3/28.4=1.52), we will multiply the focal length by 1.5 to have the equivalence in FF.So, a 50mm is a 50mm on full frame (that’s why we buy FF, so that we don’t have to worry about calculations anymore haha!),
