![]() The game is understandably tightfisted with the number of times you can activate Tiger vision (it can be enabled once or twice during a game), but this feature is still indicative of what seems to be the underlying philosophy in Tiger 2005. Tiger vision is used when you're on the green, setting up for a particularly challenging putt, at which time you'll be shown exactly where you need to aim in order to sink the shot. Though it's no substitute for a full-featured course editor, Tiger proofing can be good for freshening up courses that you think you've already mastered.Īs mentioned earlier, Tiger 2005 makes a serious effort to take some of the stress out of golfing, and this is most apparent with the new "Tiger vision" feature. There are more than 20 different variables in total, many of which you'll have to unlock by earning more legend coins. Greens and fairways can be shrunk, undulations can be added to the turf, hole placement can be changed, bunker depth can be increased, and so on. They also score you legend coins, which you can use to purchase courses for "Tiger proofing." Tiger proofing is essentially a very lightweight course editor that gives you a certain amount of control over the size and condition, but not the location, of different course elements. Game Face II adds an even greater level of character customization.īeating your competitors in the legend tour and winning medals in the legend scenario mode both earn you a fairly substantial cash prize. As established Tiger players should expect, these scenarios are rather good at testing specific sets of skills. As before, these scenarios present you with a series of specific challenges, whether it's coming back from a string of bogeys or playing the toughest greens the game has to offer. The other half of the legends set is the legend scenario mode, which is essentially a repackaged version of the scenario mode from the past few Tiger Woods PGA Tour games. Golf isn't the uptight sport it once was, but still, the tone in Tiger 2005 is different enough that fans of the sport, or fans of past Tiger Woods games, may be put off by it like we were. Granted, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour games have always included a set of non-traditional player characters, but the wackiness level in this year's batch is too extreme and feels a little too contrived. ![]() Yet for all the seriousness these revered golfers bring, the caricatured characters created by EA (seemingly with the game's own Game Face II tools, at that) basically negate it with an excess of funny nicknames, funnier haircuts, goofy victory dances, and improbable swing styles. The addition of these well-respected names to Tiger's already brimming roster of real-life PGA pros adds a certain esteem to the affair. But before you can take on the legends, you'll need to win a series of match games against a mix of colorful fictional characters and real-life PGA pros. There is the legend tour, which gives you the chance to play against six of the most legendary names in golf: Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Seve Ballesteros, and finally, Tiger Woods himself. The Game Face feature has always ostensibly existed for the purpose of creating a fair facsimile of yourself, and Game Face II definitely brings things closer.Īlongside the PGA tour mode, which has been the heart of the Tiger Woods games for years, Tiger 2005 introduces the legends mode, which is divvied up into two portions. With this fairly modest number of options, you can create some pretty bizarre-looking swings. Now you can make such characters look appropriately lifelike.Īlso included in this customization suite is a new swing editor, which allows you to tweak the bend of your knees and the positions of your hands and wrists at the three different stages of your swing, as well as the total length of your swing and the focus of your technique. Before, if you wanted to make a morbidly obese or incredibly gaunt golfer, you could only go so far before it started looking unnatural. Game Face II seems to be more capable of handling extreme character designs. There are a ton of new variables, many of which seem tailored toward creating a character with a more flawed appearance, including laugh lines, bags under the eyes, and crow's feet around the outer edges of the eyes. PGA Tour 2005 features an enhanced version of this feature, creatively dubbed "Game Face II," and it offers even more options and greater flexibility. You were given a good half-dozen different variables for the appearance of your golfer's nose, for example. EA introduced its "Game Face" feature in last year's Tiger, which was a character creation system that allowed you to customize the appearance of your golfer to an almost absurd level.

IPhone available since the release of iPhone 3G It launched on June 29, 2007, at a starting price of US$499 in the United States, and required a two-year contract with AT&T. The iPhone incorporated a 3.5-inch multi-touch display with few hardware buttons, and ran the iPhone OS operating system with a touch-friendly interface, then marketed as a version of Mac OS X. ![]() Jobs unveiled the first-generation iPhone to the public on January 9, 2007, at the Macworld 2007 convention at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. Cingular gave Apple the liberty to develop the iPhone's hardware and software in-house, a rare practice at the time, and paid Apple a fraction of its monthly service revenue (until the iPhone 3G), in exchange for four years of exclusive U.S. Among other deficiencies, the ROKR E1's firmware limited storage to only 100 iTunes songs to avoid competing with Apple's iPod nano. Īpple rejected the " design by committee" approach that had yielded the Motorola ROKR E1, a largely unsuccessful "iTunes phone" made in collaboration with Motorola. According to Jobs in 1998, the "i" word in "iMac" (and thereafter "iPod", "iPhone" and "iPad") stands for internet, individual, instruct, inform, and inspire. Apple created the device during a secretive collaboration with Cingular Wireless (later renamed AT&T Mobility) at an estimated development cost of US$150 million over thirty months. Then-Apple CEO Steve Jobs steered the original focus away from a tablet (which was later revisited in the form of the iPad) towards a phone. As of January 2017, Apple's App Store contained more than 2.2 million applications for the iPhone.ĭevelopment of an Apple smartphone began in 2004, when Apple started to gather a team of 1,000 employees led by hardware engineer Tony Fadell, software engineer Scott Forstall, and design officer Jony Ive, to work on the highly confidential "Project Purple". The iPhone has been credited with popularizing the smartphone and slate form factor, and with creating a large market for smartphone apps, or " app economy". The first-generation iPhone was described as a "revolution" for the mobile phone industry and subsequent models have also garnered praise. The iPhone has generated large profits for Apple, making it one of the world's most valuable publicly traded companies. The iPhone is one of the two largest smartphone platforms in the world alongside Android, and is a large part of the luxury market. Touch ID is still used for the budget iPhone SE series. Since the iPhone X, iPhone models have switched to a nearly bezel-less front screen design with Face ID facial recognition, and app switching activated by gestures. Up to the iPhone 8 and 8 Plus, iPhones had a single button on the front panel with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. ![]() Since the iPhone's launch, it has gained larger screen sizes, video-recording, waterproofing, and many accessibility features. The iPhone was the first mobile phone to use multi-touch technology. As of 2022, the iPhone accounts for 15.6% of global smartphone market share. As of November 1, 2018, more than 2.2 billion iPhones had been sold. Since then, Apple has annually released new iPhone models and iOS updates.

I can only speak for myself, but I moved on and found something more valuable and functional.But we did have some lovely years when everything were promising and damn great at least, didn't we, PlayOn? <3 I'm not hating, harsh and a bit salty maybe, but yeah. Hence why I don't think the idea to back-stab those old farts like me who bought the lifetime.I don't have any experience with AnyStream but I recon the tale would be similar.I understand that PlayOn isn't a huge company, and probably need to be "clever" to get some income but I think they stepped in the wrong direction with how they dealt with it as they are now charging equal or more than software that they "compete" with and have technically been caught lying repeatedly.- If they can't deliver equal or more in their software than their competitors and doesn't have a good relation to their customers because of poor communication and bullshittery. So if you actually do record allot monthly with PlayOn, and would keep on subscribing from a pure time and value -standpoint, you would be wasting allot of money in the long run. It downloads videos directly, saving you allot of time, giving you the best possible quality and it has allot more features and support to it than PlayOn. ![]() You can also subscribe monthly to the all in one-thing they have DVDFab 360 I think it's named, it's offered in the all in one-software as well if you just need it a few months a time but in total, after 5-ish months you have payed the same as the one-time license.So after a year you'd pay over double the one time price.To put it this way if you buy the all in one license for Stremfab which is rather costly.It still is cheaper than one year subscription to PlayOn. I see people say it is too expensive, yet think that a subscription to PlayOn is not. “As always, it is important to read the ingredient label, as sometimes stevia and monk fruit are combined with other unhealthy artificial sweeteners. Monk fruit is low-calorie and may contain antioxidants so it can be a good alternative to sugar,” she explains. “Though stevia has been generally recognized as safe, there are concerns over its impact on our overall health. If artificial sweeteners don’t cause you GI distress and you don’t have a medical condition like diabetes or high blood pressure to consider, Gately says they are safe for most people to consume in moderation. “Some people may experience GI distress, like diarrhea, after consumption,” explains Gately. Though faux sugars like stevia and sucralose (known as Splenda) have no sugar content, they also have zero nutritional value and can cause digestive issues. Then there are the sugar alternatives found in many energy drinks. ![]() The seed itself isn’t unhealthy, but it’s an NCAA-banned stimulant -it can show up in a urine test and shouldn’t be consumed by competitive college athletes, says Gately. If you’re starting your day with a quad-shot latte, reaching for an afternoon Americano, and taking down a Celsius before your men’s league basketball game, that’s overdoing it.īeyond excess caffeine and sugar, some popular “healthy” energy drinks, such as Celsius, also include guarana, whose seed s contain about four times more caffeine than coffee beans ( 1 ). The average person can safely consume around 400 mg (or less) of caffeine per day, or about four small cups of coffee. So it’s not about avoiding caffeine altogether, but rather about limiting your intake. “When you consume caffeine, it stimulates your nervous system causing your heart rate to increase, which pushes blood to your muscles and signals your liver to release glucose, providing you with energy,” adds Gately. Though some caffeine is perfectly healthy-it gives you energy and improves your ability to focus and concentrate-“some energy drinks contain high levels of caffeine that can be dangerous and negatively impact your heart, not to mention your anxiety and ability to sleep,” says registered dietitian Valerie Gately, MS, RDN, LD. ![]() Fortunately, it’s 2023, and there are plenty of healthy-ish alternatives to the sugar bombs of youth.ĭoes that mean we can consider these new-wave energy drinks to be “healthy”? Not quite. But that vice may come with downsides: caffeine jitters and an eventual sugar crash.

I hope everyone can finally understand that there is no publicly available version of Days Before Rodeo that is higher quality than 192 kpbs (other than for Mamacita and Don't Play, which were released as singles and can be found in higher quality).

The Tools menu can be used to customize the MSMG CLI itself or customize the new image that has been created, such as change its name, convert it, or merge it with another image, etc. The Target menu is from where you can create an ISO image or a bootable device using the new customizations. This will save any changes made and dismount the image. Once all of the customizations and changes are made, it is now time to apply the changes to the new image through the Apply menu. This way, you can pre-enabled or remove the settings that are not required by the end-user. Customize Customize menuįrom the Customize menu, you can enable or disable Windows features as well as import or export system registries and other settings. Remove Remove menuįrom the Remove menu, you can remove existing components from the image, such as Windows components and Windows applications. Each type of component first needs to be moved to its dedicated and respective location first, which will be discussed further down the article. You can integrate content into the image from the Integrate menu, as you can see in the image above. This will be discussed in detail further down the article while performing the task. For that, the image or its extracted content needs to be pasted/moved to a dedicated folder. Source Source menuįrom the Source menu, you need to select the image you want to work on. Thus, most of the menus need to be accessed one after the other. We must apply (5) the changes and then save the customized image to a target (6) location. At this point, we would like you to understand that not only one item from the menu needs to be accessed to perform a task.įor example, if we wish to optimize an ISO image, we first need to select the source (1), integrate (2) or remove (3) components, or maybe both. Now let us discuss each item on the menu and what its function is. But in reality, you will be saving it by not performing the same tasks on each device you deploy the image on. Having said that, in comparison, there is no downside to using MSMG Toolkit, except for the fact that you may require to spend some time performing the task of adding and removing components. You are also saving space on the system partition by removing bloatware (components that are not required) and simultaneously upgrading the ISO image by integrating additional add-ons such as feature packs, Windows updates, drivers, etc. ![]() Thus, you will no longer be required to perform the same actions after deploying the image on each individual machine, saving both time and additional unnecessary effort. First, the changes made to the image will be replicated across all devices the image is used on. There are several advantages of using MSMG Toolkit, especially for those that regularly need to install OS on a number of devices. For example, if I want to select a source, I shall enter 1 and press Enter. For example, simply select a number alongside the actions mentioned in the main menu in the image above. Rather, it is a system based on actions and their corresponding numbers. The MSMG Toolkit does not require you to learn any extra or complicated cmdlets. Today, we are going to be using this handy utility to add and remove Windows components so it becomes lightweight and bloat-free. It can be used for conversion, adding and removing components, creating bootable devices, etc. MSMG Toolkit is a command-line utility used to manipulate ISO, WIM, and ESD image files in all sorts of ways. Let’s talk about the MSMG Toolkit in more detail and its benefits. Whereas the MSMG Toolkit that we are going to be using here is used to customize the existing packages and components within an ISO image or to add more standalone components. Slipstreaming is a process to integrate update packages released by Microsoft to existing ISO images so that one does not need to download an entire ISO package again, and simply update their existing one and use it for deployment. We had previously discussed slipstreaming in one of our posts. ![]()

The 1969 record features the Kris Kristofferson-penned classic, “ Me And Bobby McGee,” before Kristofferson, Kenny Rogers or most notably, Janis Joplin, recorded their versions. The releases will be rounded out with 1968’s romantic-themed A Tender Look At Love, featuring Miller’s covers of songs like “ By The Time I Get To Phoenix,” “ Gentle On My Mind,” and the Top 10 country hit, “ Little Green Apples ” and his 19 self-titled albums, which continued his rein on the country charts, peaking at No. 26 on the Hot 100 the Top 20 hit, “ I’ve Been a Long Time Leavin’ (But I’ll Be a Long Time Gone) ” and the tracks “ My Uncle Used to Love Me But She Died” and Miller’s take on Elvis Presley’s “ Heartbreak Hotel ” his two albums from 1967, Walkin’ In The Sunshine, with the top 10 country title track and Waterhole #3 (Code Of The West), the soundtrack to the James Coburn-starring Western comedy film of the same name which saw Miller collaborating with jazz composers Dave Grusin and Robert Wells for an orchestrated pop-western style exemplified in the Top 200 crossover hit, “ The Ballad of Waterhole #3 (Code of the West).” The digital album releases will also include Miller 1966’s Words And Music, with the four notable singles “ Husbands And Wives,” which peaked at No. 13 on the Billboard 200, as a result of the four unforgettable singles: the Top 10 crossover hit, “ Engine Engine #9,” and the country Top 10 hits, the “ One Dyin’ And A Buryin’” and “ Kansas City Star,” plus the melancholy “ The Last Word In Lonesome Is Me,” which went on to become a hit for Eddy Arnold the following year and a decade later became a surprising hit for football great Terry Bradshaw. Miller’s third LP and second of 1965, The 3 rd Time Around, continued his ascent to pop and country stardom giving him a No. 1 in the UK, and was awarded five Grammys in both the “Country” and “Rock ‘N Roll” categories the album, meanwhile, took home the Grammy Award for Best Country and Western Album. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, it also went to No. His 1965 follow-up, The Return Of Roger Miller, also quickly went Gold on the power of his signature song, “ King of the Road,” the Top 40 hit “ Do-Wacka-Do,” and the beloved novelty tune, “ You Can’t Roller Skate In A Buffalo Herd.” In addition to “King of the Road” hitting the top of the Country and Adult Contemporary chart in the U.S. 1 country song and Top 10 pop crossover hit, “ Dang Me,” which along with the hit single, “ Chug-A-Lug,” garnered him his first five Grammys, including Best Country Song Best Country and Western Recording, Single Best Country and Western Performance, Male Best Country and Western Album and Best New Country and Western Artist. Miller’s Gold-certified debut, Roger And Out, made him a household name with his first No. In all, 12 albums will be made available throughout the summer months, including three of Miller’s biggest records: 1964’s Roger And Out (later to become known as Dang Me) and 1965’s The Return Of Roger Miller and The 3 rd Time Around.
