![]() It's something different, elegant, and refreshing but also aggravating and at times unfair. It definitely needs more polish on the technical side those who hate failing should pass on this. There's also no inverted camera option so if you're used to flying with this feature be prepared for some extra deaths.ĭespite all the vexation and deaths, I had fun with I Am Fish. It was a unique adventure that ran with novel ideas. The cutscenes run at a lower frame rate and it's hard not to notice. There are other technical problems with the cutscenes and certain visuals. If you plan to play the game on the hardest Iron Fish mode be aware that the game will fight you every step of the way. During the final mission, you get access to all your fish allies but swim so close to you that you'll constantly knock into them. Valves are difficult to turn, gliding is annoying due to the poor trajectory system, you cannot reset the camera, and the ally AI clings to you. There were plenty of times where I charged from across a tank only to do a tiny flop. The momentum system is not great and can be fickle when you're attempting to make critical jumps. I Am Fish can create some challenging obstacles but it can become frustrating. ![]() Then again the visual design is also contradictory to the game's challenge but both are well designed. Matching the cartoonish tone is a light-hearted musical score that tends to go against the game's punishing difficulty. What was a bit shocking was the quality of the music, it's pretty good. With 13 stages you'll have to memorize a lot of content if you wish to get all 5-star ratings in everything. You're graded based on your performance for each stage, this is based on deaths and time completed. If you do fail you can hit a button and instantly reset. The game's platforming is unforgiving and usually requires to pinpoint accuracy, especially when jumping out of water. If you're gutsy there are optional collectibles in hard-to-reach areas that only count if you grab it and hit the next checkpoint, followed by clearing the level. I Am Fish is a trial and error game so expect failure a lot during your first playthrough. Since there are plenty of checkpoints you won't lose much progress when you die, and you're going to die a lot. To guide the player checkpoints are placed at your next goal and are visible. There are plenty more of these puzzles and solving them is fun. For example, to escape a bathroom the Piranha has to flood the room by destroying valves and then biting a seagull's leg so it would carry it to the water outside. The developers created some great puzzles to complement these boundaries. When not available you'll use fish tanks and drainage systems to move around. Since you're a fish this restricts you on how you move around the environment, using hamster balls full of water, mop buckets, and even a glass of water as to not suffocate. Moving forward and turning isn't as easy as moving the joystick, instead, environmental limitations prevent this. Since I Am Fish deals heavily with momentum-based physics you can just move instantly. ![]() ![]() Each fish has challenges linked to each of these skills with each fish having 3 stages that increase in difficulty. The Pufferfish can blow up and move on the land easier, the Flyingfish can glide, and the Piranha can use its teeth to destroy obstacles and open valves. Players start with the Goldfish, which serves as the tutorial, and then choose whatever of the other 3 fish's campaigns. With the exception of the Goldfish, each fish has a unique ability. It's a good story that wraps everything together by the end and even shows the developers trying to build a larger universe with their games. Each one stars in their own story of how they reached the ocean in distinct levels. You control a Goldfish, Flying Fish, Pufferfish, and finally a Piranha. I Am Fish story is simply, 4 fish friends suddenly gain a newfound intelligence after eating some "special" bread and desire to escape to the ocean after being separated. Despite these shortcomings, I Am Fish is a delightful platformer full of charm and challenge. The problems rise up with the technical polish of the title with low frame rate cutscenes and an inconsistent momentum system. The narrative is joyful and simple as a bunch of fish friends attempt to find a way to the ocean and reunite. The difficult physics-based platforming offers a variety of challenges that test the player's precision and endurance. I Am Fish has a lot of positive qualities. ![]()

To plant bell pepper seedlings in a container or in the garden, make a hole big enough to place the root crown (where roots and stem meet) ½” below the soil level. If the cold weather persists and you can’t transplant your seedlings outside, you can change them to a bigger pot and wait a few more weeks. Hardening will help the newly formed leaves to thicken and adapt to the dry air and direct sunlight. Seedlings should have 3-4 true leaves and be 4-6” (10-15cm) tall before transplanting them outside.Īlthough you could transplant bell pepper seedlings outside as soon as 2-3 weeks after the last frost date, it is better to wait until the temperatures are warmer, and you have hardened your plants for at least 10 days before transplanting them. If you are germinating them in trays or pots indoors, place the seeds in a warm and dark place, keeping the substrate consistently moist but not wet until they germinate. The second common reason is that they have too much water, which will limit the amount of available oxygen and promote rotting. Try to keep them as warm as possible for best results.Īs a general rule, the most common reason for bell pepper seeds not germinating is that temperatures are too cold or closer to 60☏ (15.5☌). Pepper seeds do not need a lot of water, so avoid over watering the seeds because the lack of oxygen could cause them to rot. You should water your seeds frequently enough to keep the soil or substrate consistently moist. Soak them in warm water for three hours or in water at room temperature for 6-8 hours at most for best results. Pepper seeds will germinate normally if they are not too old, but you can also soak them briefly to prepare them for planting, and speed up germination. Place the seeds ¼-½” (0.6-1.25cm) deep into the soil and thin them out to a single plant when they have 2-3 true leaves. Add more seeds if you don’t know how old they are. If you are using fresh seeds, plant 1-2 per hole in trays or 2-3 if you are sowing directly into the bed or pots. Heat will be your greatest ally to develop vigorous and healthy plants. The best time to plant bell pepper seeds or transplants is when daytime temperatures are above 75☏ (23.8 ☌), and night temperatures do not drop below 55☏ (12.7 ☌). Bell pepper seeds need on average 10-21 days to germinate, depending on the temperature. In fact, the minimum soil temperature for germination is 60☏ (15.5☌), but most seeds will germinate normally in temperatures between 75-85☏ (23.8-29.4☌). Seeds will not germinate if the soil temperatures are below 55☏ (12.7 ☌). Start your bell pepper seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last spring frost date, or plant them directly into the garden bed when the danger of frost has passed, and soil temperatures are warm enough. It might not be too late to plant bell peppers if you start with transplants, and you have at least 10 weeks before the first frost. This, however, varies with the climate and variety you are using. The problem with using this kind of seeds is that they will probably not breed true, this means that the next generation of plants could be totally different.īell pepper plants will take 8-12 weeks on average from sowing the seed to the first harvest. Planting fresh seeds straight from a store bought bell pepper is possible, but the fruit must be totally mature for the seeds to be viable. If you are growing your bell pepper plants in containers, you can move them indoors in winter, or carefully dig out a plant in the garden and transplant it into a pot to overwinter it indoors. On the other hand, pepper plants will grow as perennials (living more than two years) In warmer areas without frost in winter. They have no tolerance to frost, and will die in winter. ![]() Since pepper plants will not grow back every year in areas with cold climates, they are grown as annuals in these areas. Place them in a spot with well composted soil, full sun exposure (at least 6 hours), and provide constant moisture for best results. It is not hard to grow bell peppers if you plant them in the warmest part of the season, because they need hot temperatures to develop properly. How to Plant Bell Pepper Seeds And Seedlings ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() High alpine hiking in American Fork Canyon, UtahĪs is usual for LowePro, the bag carries very comfortably- even when I really loaded it up. A smaller pocket on the top front has been great for quick access items- boarding pass while I was traveling, remote shutter release when headed out for some night shooting… business cards at the quick and ready… It has a big zippered opening on top, with a large area for “whatever”… holding non-photog gear just as easily as it can be used for additional gear, depending on the day’s needs. It has big side access zippered openings on both sides, both with pockets and organization on them for smaller items. It has a new and unique divider system, and I dig it. It’s called the Freeline, and it’s made by LowePro. I recently picked up a new bag, though… and after putting it through it’s paces pretty hard during a week of adventure shooting in Utah, I have to share my enthusiasm for this pack!

LowePro FreeLine BP 350 AW | click for larger view Every gig starts with an anxiety stricken debate over which bag to bring, and then a time consuming gear shuffle ensues as I move everything from one bag (or case) to another. Having a stack of bags lying around, for lack of better word, sucks. At least for me, this happens because I fall in love with a bag for one type of shooting environment, but then I find it doesn’t meet my needs for other shoots. If you’re like me, you might have a small museum of camera-carry options collected over the years. There’s a galaxy of camera carry options out there! Maybe selecting a style isn’t too tough… a backpack, or maybe an airline carry-on friendly roller? Or maybe the protection and durability of a Pelican (or similar) hard case? After that, options explode and it’s easy to get overwhelmed… Any photo-enthusiast already knows, finding “the bag” is a daunting challenge. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cookie is used to store the user consent for the cookies in the category "Performance".

The Yin Yang symbol of Taoism is a good example of the balance between Light and Dark. His mission in the Hell worlds was to see them, to understand them, and then to train his disciples how to go into those worlds too so that they could be the great celestial warriors that they are and do battle down there to rid the world of demons. One cannot enter the gates of Hell if they do not know their own dark side. He also had a dark side, but his was under control, unlike most undisciplined humans. It is not true that Jesus was only filled with Light. He needed to do this because being an incarnation of Vishnu, his whole teaching is about Balance, and so he needed to understand both the Light and the Dark within himself. He also, during that time, was taught how to enter through the gates of Hell. The dream oracle is ever willing to share her gifts, open her Akashic records, ours by the rites of passage, indeed the spirit has ever been willing to enter the fray and fight by our side but it had problems getting past the stench that blocked the temple doors……įrom my own studies of similar titles, I believe that in the missing years of Christ’s life he was in India learning the disciplines needed to harness the powers that he had. Thank you 888 such an eloquent summary of my quite spontaneous thought processes, I totally agree with you in the sense that the mind no matter how purified by spiritual practice can actually override its hard wired agendas, I suspect that the true source of reality is even beyond the soul which really seems to struggle with the eternity principle, all is not lost however if one begins to intuit as you say that which is beyond experience or perception.Ĭhristians friends called a born again experience, quite staggering and yet I never for a moment assumed it was a confirmation of this or that religion…….it was of that incomprehensible joy and grace that our juggled words cannot really express, the seeds planted a few eternities ago suddenly began to burst forth into a harvest of hope, this is where I sort of started I guess, the good can only arise from the good, sooner or later after many diversions the essence of our very being must ripen in its own time and season…. Perhaps if a man or woman did begin to delve into the question of what God is by studying the Pistis Sophia, his or her mind would open enough that he or she would learn where the Feminine spirit of God actually does reveal itself, and it is not through the mind. That is very interesting about your dream and how you were asked if you had decided to do a course on the Pistis Sophia. I’ve been having a few of those myself lately. yes, it is a treasure-house of infinite memories and wisdom. ![]() ![]() It is through experience, and through inner perception, which doesn’t come from the mind, that one begins to understand God.Ībout lucid dreaming…. By its very nature the mind locks itself into a certain level of perception, and due to the fact that the mind can’t resonate at the vibrationary level that God resonates at, God can’t be perceived with the mind, so it is futile to try to figure God out with the mind. They resonate at a vibrationary level that cannot be perceived by the mind. however, those who do have experience of that which we call God have gone beyond the mind, and so those who try to figure God, freedom and the immortal and eternal out by using the mind cannot in fact ever have an experience that would allow them to know that such things exist, for God, freedom and immortality are beyond the mind. Well he is right about the mind not being able to accurately perceive God, this is true…. The Critique of Pure Reason by Immanuel Kant – is that who you mean? Kant’s opinion on how the mind can never arrive at pure thought or truths about entities which, by their very nature, can never be objects of experience, such as God, freedom, and immortality, which he believed that because such understanding comes from the mind it is therefore a sham. ![]() ![]() ![]() To comment on a BLABBERMOUTH.NET story or review, you must be logged in to an active personal account on Facebook.

"The British people understand rock and roll like no other country in the world, which is why fellow Seattleites Jimi Hendrix went there, why MUDHONEY went there, and why WALKING PAPERS is going there as well. Two of us, myself and Duff McKagan, have debuted our first bands in London: Duff with GUNS N' ROSES, myself with both SKIN YARD and SCREAMING TREES. Mixed by Jack Endino, the record is due out on October 16 via Boredom Killing Business/ Sunyata Records and the first single, "Your Secret's Safe With Me", is streaming at the band's Facebook page.Ĭommented Martin: " WALKING PAPERS is excited to play our first international dates in the U.K. McKagan plays bass on the band's entire debut disc, while McCready contributes lead guitar solos. This is a very promising debut record that is down to earth, humour injected and will get you moving too.PEARL JAM guitarist Mike McCready and ex- GUNS N' ROSES and VELVET REVOLVER bass player Duff McKagan are working with WALKING PAPERS, a new Seattle band launched by former SCREAMING TREES drummer Barrett Martin and longtime Seattle musician Jeff Angell. You get the feeling the band won't really care what some review says though from the line " I ain't looking for respect or rewards / please talk shit on your message boards," which is fantastic and about as punk as oh I don't know, yelling "fuckyouoioioi." Due to this and a few non-distinct guitar melodies there are a number of songs that just don't stick. ![]() The record does fail to deliver in some respects such as the lyrics, where Colin's heart is in the right place talking about a range of topics from the working stiff, greed and an unwanted pregnancy but sometimes the actual words themselves fall flat. However one of the real strengths of the band for me was the drumming there is some rhythms on this that will undoubtedly shake the body politic. While a lot of the songs have a throwback flavour the band plays slivers of a more modern melodic punk flair at times during songs like "Carbon Heart Radio" and "Hell Awaits Hostage Life."Īll in all, vocalist Colin still has a great sneering voice to lead the band and the guitar playing is effective throughout the release. ![]() Some really solid guitar work is displayed throughout the album, such as the solo on the single "This Song Was Written by a Committee." The band really works best when they try a more straight-up mid-paced old-school rockân'roll sound, such as on "How to Die with a Smile" or "The Quietest Mutiny." Those two songs cover a similar territory to what One Man Army and the Ducky Boys have done in the past. While a Clash influenced street punk vibe that Rancid seems to love can be readily found in the guitar progressions and socio-political lyrics, there are a few different tricks the band comes up with throughout that keep things fresh. Luckily for the listener, Hostage Life puts a reasonably refreshing spin to their collection of Clash inspired punk ditties. Like those bands, Hostage Life contains alumni from Toronto's mid-to-late `90s melodic punk stalwarts, Marilyn's Vitamins. Their label, Underground Operations holds amongst their lackluster releases albums by Bombs Over Providence and Dead Letter Debt., which have been mediocre to downright bad. I'd say I had to agree when listening to the debut full-length by Hostage Life. "Don't judge an album by its label" is the type of saying that seems to get thrown around a lot in the world of punk. ![]() |
