This is a problem it shares with the Air-lock and Thingamabobber, although due to its lightness, I find it to be less problematic with the CorQs compared to the competition. No strike indicator is perfect, and the CorQs does have a slight issue with being off-center, causing some turbulence during the cast. It is certainly easier than tying and untying a knot, although not as user-friendly as the screw-mount methods used by the Oros or airflow indicators.īefore discussing the cons, it’s worth noting that the CorQs is a single piece, eliminating the risk of losing small screws or nuts while on the river. To remove the CorQs, simply create some slack in the line and reverse the procedure. Installing the CorQs is a simple process: push a loop of line through the rubber o-ring, up and over the ball, and then tighten the line. This feature is likely to spook fewer fish, making it an advantage over other options. From below, it appears like a piece of wood floating downstream. Unlike plastic indicators, the bottom half of the CorQs is exposed cork, which almost always floats facing downwards. However, I doubt anyone will struggle to see them on the water. The painted top of the CorQs is highly visible, although it may not be as vivid as some foam indicators. When compared to other ball indicators, they are only surpassed in castability by the Oros. They claim their cork is even more buoyant than synthetic indicators, although in my experience, both materials float equally well.Īdditionally, due to their lightweight nature, CorQ indicators are incredibly easy to cast, almost as effortless as yarn indicators. Firstly, a good indicator must be buoyant, and the CorQs performs exceptionally well in this aspect. It’s unfortunate because I hold them in high regard, although they can be challenging to find in stores.ĬorQs indicators are excellent examples of environmentally friendly strike indicators. The CorQs indicator somehow escaped my memory when I first wrote my round-up of indicators.

It is, however, advised to use a resourceful text editor, like notepad++ ( link ), instead. Editing this can be done within the IniEditor (mod-specific, choose the matching one). There we decide on which features to use ingame and handle a large scale of other settings. One of the main configuration files is "JA2_options.ini" (mod-specific, i.e. fullscreen, fps-rate, etc.) run nfig (it's in the main directory) In case you want or need to configure the settings used by cnc-ddraw (i.e. That's working way better and easier than the former provided registry-fixes and such. That's no longer a concern, since Oct 2022 cnc-ddraw, a neat little app (by Funky Fr3sh), is implemented into JA2 1.13 (no need to download and instal it, it's already included). The use of modern hardware and OS with an old game like ja2 was causing issues in the past (blackscreen, performance lags, non working alt-tab, etc.). That can save a lot of time, avoid some possible frustration and allows you to make full use of them.Ĭlick on "INI-Editor setup" to see more details ![]() When choosing certain features, it's highly advised to at least take a peek at feature descriptions (scroll down to links). See further down this thread for some informations about other files you might want to look at (not nescessary, but based on FAQ those seem to be of interest) "Starting Cash"), so you may want to look at such files as well and need a texteditor anyway. And some former entries of ja2_options.ini have been moved to other files not covered by IniEditor (i.e. No more worries about not being able to change a value (which can happen in IniEditor if those fields got forgotten to be updated), just type them directly. The ja2_options.ini has grown large over the years and the drop-down trees in IniEditor might be less convinient than using a search function in a texteditor. Reasoning for the use of an texteditor for those tasks is simply convinience. It can still be done via IniEditor as well, if you prefer to do so, no worries. It's recommended to edit the respective files for feature selection and fine tuning directly with a texteditor like notepad++ instead (scroll down for more on that) However, if it comes to feature selection and all the other settings in the ja2_options.ini, Those might be chosen more conveniently with the Ini-Editor (see "IniEditor setup" below). The IniEditor is build for that, however, it's recommended to only use it for some of the basic settings, like resolution and/or which mod is used. There might be situations where you want to use a mod on top of 1.13, change the screen reolution or select features and fine tune settings and options. Recommended use: choose basic settings such as resolution and mod to play Some worth mentioning ways to change or adjust those basic settings The version shipped from gitHub already comes with pre-configured basic settings for an immediate start of JA2 1.13 Step 03: extract the downloaded file from step 02 (it's a zip-archive) over your JA2 installation (from step 01), allow overwriting of existing files Step 02: download latest 1.13 from link above Steam Folder), it's adviced to copy-paste ja2 from there to somewhere else if you purchased ja2 via a platform that installs it into some special folder (i.e. you can have multiple instances of JA2, so you may wanna make a copy of original install as template for later use since Windows-Vista some folders are "protected", so don't use Program Files, Program Files (x86), etc. Step 01: Install your original JA2 (from CD, Steam, GOG or elsewhere) ![]() To find out game version ingame, press "v" and it will show up in history (the text-window down left) The game folder contains a file called "JA2_113-Version.txt" which contains very detailed information of version in use There, scroll down to "Assets" and click on language version of choice to start download The download link will bring you to the releases page on gitHub compatibility with older operating systems such as XP is no longer given (technical and maintenance reasons), Win7 and higher are supported all-in-one releases come for different languages and include JA2 v1.13, JA2 Unfinished Business and a MapEditor for both, JA2 and UB autogenerated, will always be up-to-date with development ![]() Feel free to participate in the developmentĭownload: > latest 1.13 release <<< (click here to get there) More information on the move to gitHub can be found here As of October 2022 the official development of ja2 v1.13 takes place on gitHub: JA2 v1.13 on gitHub Links and information for getting started with JA2 v1.13 ![]() The Best Prime Day Health and Beauty Deals ![]()
![]() Here, pretty emerald-hued subway tiles frame an expansive wrap-around display cabinet that is brimming with the ocean’s bounty – from bright blue Western Australian live marron and freshly steamed Southern crayfish through to king crabs and calamari. From the moment you step foot inside Miami Fish Market, it’s clear that this is not your average fishmonger. Opening its doors just prior to the Gold Coast’s week-long lockdown, the brand-new venue is the handiwork of longtime locals and seafood aficionados Paul Gloftis and Craig Warren – the latter of the two has spent time working in the Japanese fish markets and farms. Miami Fish Market has changed the game with a seriously upscaled (pun intended) offering that is guaranteed to ignite your curiosity for creatures of the deep. Up until now, most of the real high-end seafood – the kind you see gracing menus at the coast’s fine-dining institutions – has been reserved for chefs and restaurant owners. Miami Fish Market’s incredible range of responsibly sourced seafood from Australia and New Zealand (as well as some show-stopping selections from abroad) will have you salivating in seconds. ![]() Transforming a former factory into an underwater wonderland, this upmarket retail space will satisfy your penchant for prawns, lust for lobster and cravings for crustaceans. The Gold Coast’s seafood scene has well and truly levelled up with the opening of brand-new superlative supplier Miami Fish Market. For every person added on if you’re not splitting a check, it’s doubled.Share Cure your craving for crustaceans at the Gold Coast’s newest seafood supplier, Miami Fish Market For one person depending on what you like you might spend less and $125 (MAYBE) I usually spend about $80 dollars. Waitresses and waiters are sweet, kind, and very respectful. Let say you wanted brisk or a sprite you have to buy two cans to satisfy you. With the drink situation, unlike other seafood places where you can get unlimited refills, you have to consistently buy the soft drink. As for the atmosphere, it’s chill, not to loud, and is very clean, it’s like if Target made a seafood baby. Another thing, the chocolate cake with ice cream-when I came the first couple of times, it was absolutely delicious but over the years it’s taken a wrong turn and it’s not even good anymore. If YOU want to go and add it to your boil that’s up to you. Now that’s a waste and I advise no one to buy it unless they (Cajun Boil) change that. I can not make this up, 5 pieces, literally 1-2-3-4-5 pieces of sausage and they are not 5 thick pieces of sausage, 5 little thin slices of the meat that you barely could see under that sauce. However, one thing I will say that is ridiculous and I absolutely HATE-which is a waste of your money is the amount of “sausages” they give out as an add on. The ultimate sauce is amazing, words can not describe the flavors in my mouth. I’ve been going here for three years straight for seafood, the flavors never changed and it is amazing. 1 star because the hostess was super friendly! ![]() It's of note that this place seems to be owned and operated by Asians, and the cuisine they're cooking just may be outside of they're expertise. It was unexplainable and not posted anywhere.I would not go back here again. They also included a random service fee on every check. I see all the garlic bits but there was no garlic flavor. Pricing is hugely imbalanced: $3/add on (corn, sausage (5 die cut slices), broccoli, potatoes, egg, etc) $35/1lb of crabs. Boil "sauce" became cold and congealed as we sat there trying to eat. The boil flavors are not balanced, it does not taste right. Sauce is only on the outside, and it's super messy. The crab clusters we're not properly tempered, meat was cold. The boil "sauce" is thick, like flour is added. The seafood rice alone was $18! That's insane. Fried rice was delicious! Broccoli was perfectly steamed and fresh!Cons - everything is added separately at an additional price. This place is radically expensive.Pros - outstanding customer service, seafood rice is tasty, they offer green veggies for your boil. ![]() Among those in attendance was Penn State legend Saquon Barkley. The stadium was packed for this prime-time matchup - 109,958 people to be exact - the tenth-highest attendance in stadium history. 22 Auburn Tigers for the 28-20 victory in Beaver Stadium for its White Out game. 10 Penn State Nittany Lions and their defense held on against the No. On Saturday night, one of college football's greatest traditions made its triumphant return.

Make it the show, possibly of the entire college football season. Why do it: The game is just too big not to give it the top-line treatment. Plus, can you really get enough fans to wear white on a 30-degree winter coat night? Maybe, but. Yes, Penn State and the Big Ten can do November night games in State College. Do you want to risk 100,000 people driving home on slick or frozen roads at midnight? While the Lions and the TV networks could certainly schedule a mid-November night game in Beaver Stadium, there always are weather concerns. The timing of the game, however, is the biggest hold-up. Nothing could be bigger − or more fitting of a White Out, right? This could/should determine if Penn State makes its first College Football Playoff appearance. The penultimate home game of the season against Jim Harbaugh's back-to-back Big Ten champs. 21? This White Out would then be good medicine. An undefeated Penn State would have the college football world's undivided attention − and may need a pick-me-up after a draining victory at Ohio State the week before. Remember, it's not like Penn State hasn't used its White Out on a non-traditional power before (see Minnesota, 2022). If the Lions were undefeated at this point (7-0), Beaver Stadium would still just about lift off with this kind of White Out. Plus, even if that's not likely this time, would Penn State's White Out fans really complain about celebrating the anticipated comfortable victory for eight hours before kickoff? Still, the Hoosiers typically give the Lions fits. we don't know if head coach Tom Allen will even be employed at this season's mid-point. The Indiana Hoosiers got so bad last year that. No home-run qualities but probably the best combination of timing and opponent intrigue. Why do it: Still early for ideal White Out season build-up but better than the opener. Just that, alone, should keep the Hawkeyes undefeated as they visit State College. And it may have solved enough of its offensive distress with transfer Michigan quarterback Cade McNamara, the super-solid headliner. Once again, Iowa will boast a lights-out defense. The most testy Penn State opponent relationship returns.Įven more, the offensive-impaired Hawkeyes are due for a fast start and are quite used to ruining promising Penn State seasons. Pull out all the stops to get the season started against a unique opponent. Why do it: With the biggest opponent (Michigan) not visiting until potential wintry mid-November, just make the biggest warm-weather party that much bigger. While this would be understandably early for a White Out, Penn State did stage one against Auburn in mid-September just two years ago. Plus, West Virginia's notorious rowdy fans will have only a three-hour drive to State College and certainly will find enough tickets to show out.Īlso, NBC will be televising a Penn State game for the first time in 17 years, since the Lions' blowout loss at Notre Dame. 2 Miami Hurricanes visited in 2001 (Beaver Stadium renovation unveil, Adam Taliaferro's return).

They mailed him the tape, labelled “Stone Gossard demos.” “I recorded my vocals in four or five hours,” says Vedder, who wrote most of the lyrics and melodies in his head while surfing. “I got the sense that Stone had a pretty big picture of what this next musical endeavour would be,” says Cameron.įormer Red Hot Chili Pepper Jack Irons told Gossard and Ament about a singer living in San Diego named Eddie Vedder who was working as a gas-station security guard. To record the demo, Gossard recruited the best drummer in town: Soundgarden’s Matt Cameron ”“ who wouldn’t play again with Pearl Jam until he joined the band in 1998. It can be kind of like ”˜Achilles Last Stand,’ or anything moving toward that heavy, funky, grooving, chaotic thing.” “I like propulsion, I like rhythm,” he says. Fascinated by the Led Zep-influenced Jane’s Addiction, Gossard had a very specific idea of the music he wanted to make. It all started as riffs written by Gossard, who was determined to start over after the death of Andrew Wood, frontman of Gossard and Ament’s band Mother Love Bone. “I’m fortunate they were able to see beyond that and give me the job.”īut the rest of the three-song tape ”“ a cassette version is included in a super-deluxe edition of the reissue ”“ comes eerily close to the sound of Ten. “I haven’t laughed so hard in years.” He’s referring to his early version of ”˜Once,’ which is the goofiest thing he’s ever recorded ”“ the humongous chorus is intact, but the rest wavers between bizarre spoken-word segments and falsetto funk breaks. ![]() “There was one part in there that’s as hysterical as anything I’ve ever heard,” Vedder says. And while Vedder’s bandmates know that none of it would have happened without him, the singer feels equally lucky to have gotten the gig ”“ especially after the harrowing recent experience of listening to the cassette demo that started it all. Since its August 1991 release, Ten has sold 9.6 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan, more than Nirvana’s Nevermind. “We’d be paying you two grand under the table to do this interview.” ![]() Ament is sure of one thing: “If we had chosen that guy, instead of sitting in an apartment above our warehouse now, this would be the apartment the three of us live in,” he says, cracking up his bandmates. ![]() With a remixed, bonus-packed reissue of Pearl Jam’s first album, Ten, out on March 24, the group is in the mood to look back ”“ and at the moment, Gossard, Ament and lead guitarist Mike McCready are trying to dredge up details about one of the few frontmen they considered before Eddie Vedder. Bassist Jeff Ament, who’s sitting at a kitchen table, isn’t having much luck with his memory either: “He was kind of a tall, skinny guy,” he says. Downstairs is PJ’s merch and fan-club operation, along with their rehearsal space, museum-quality band memorabilia and indoor batting cage. “Tyrone? Ian? Liam?” he says, rummaging through a refrigerator in an apartment on the top floor of the band’s warehouse headquarters in Seattle.
