![]() ![]() The pochards all dive for their food, using only their feet to move underwater (sea ducks also use their wings). Accordingly, scaup bills are better suited for capturing small mobile prey than for digging up tubers. The two scaup species are carnivores, eating mainly amphipods (also known as scuds, or freshwater shrimp) and small mollusks such as fingernail clams and, more recently, zebra mussels. Ring-necked ducks eat a lot of seeds, mainly from wild rice and various pad plants, and lots of aquatic insects. Their bodies are similar to canvasbacks, but less specialized for digging. Like cans, they also eat tubers, rhizomes, plant stems and some invertebrates. Redheads mainly graze on plants like musk grass or sago pondweed in the north and shoal grass in southern coastal lagoons. ![]() Canvasbacks are mainly aquatic plant eaters, concentrating on tubers or rhizomes of sago pondweed, wild celery, duck potato, and other plants (although recently many have switched to eating small clams in places like Chesapeake Bay, where their formerly important plant foods have been greatly reduced). ![]() Canvasbacks are best known for their big feet, long muscular neck, wedge-shaped bill, and unique muscle arrangements that provide special strength for opening their bill after jamming it in the mud-all assets for excavating underground tubers. Similarities notwithstanding, each pochard species is distinctive according to its lifestyle. Biologists can offer a long list of such pochard traits, but the point is that these birds clearly shared a common ancestor long ago. The males have a unique voice box with a thin transparent "windowpane" located at the top end of the trachea. Like most ducks, the voices of males and females differ, and each species shows only minor variations on the common theme. Male pochards all have striking eyes (red, orange, or yellow). Their wings are shades of brown and gray and may be vermiculated or include a patch of white where dabbling ducks show bright iridescent colors. These ducks' plumages are similar-browns and grays mainly for the hens, contrasting blocks of dark and light solid colors on the males. Scaup, canvasbacks, redheads, ring-necked ducks, and their cousins elsewhere around the world demonstrate their relatedness by traits other than diving. Although stifftails, pochards, and sea ducks all dive for food, there are as many differences among them as similarities. The northern-dwelling sea ducks include three species each of eiders, scoters, and mergansers, as well as the long-tailed duck, harlequin duck, two species of goldeneyes, and bufflehead. Among the ducks in North America, three distinct groups, or tribes, of species are considered "divers." The ruddy duck represents a mostly tropical tribe known as the stifftails. Lots of birds dive for a living, including loons, grebes, and many seabirds. The label "diver" is scientifically vague. But who are these birds, and what is Ducks Unlimited doing to help secure their future? Meet the Pochards ![]() There's nothing subtle about a flock of divers, whether they are cans rocketing in from big water to a sheltered sago pondweed bed on a dirty, windy day redheads streaking from freshwater ponds to beds of shoal grass in a coastal lagoon or ringnecks pitching down to a bed of pad plants in a Florida swamp. Scaup, canvasbacks, redheads and ring-necked ducks-the freshwater diving ducks, or pochards-have stirred every hunter who has known them. Squadrons of lsquo bills boring in on the deck like WWII torpedo planes: rising, falling, dropping their landing gear, hesitating, then exploding over the decoys in every direction as they sense that something isn't quite right. Cold wind, slate-gray sky, and angry water-most of us, if we know divers at all, know the birds on days like this. ![]()

![]() ![]() Resizing it back to the original size might result in pixelation. You wouldn’t want to resize an image into a smaller image accidentally. Considering how easy it makes resizing images, that’s a good thing. It will resize the image but save the resized image as another copy instead of overwriting the original one. While you may prefer simply resizing the original image, Image Resizer does not do that. Here, you can use one of the pre-defined sizes – Small, Medium, Large, Phone – or use a custom size of your own. Once you do, the Image Resizer window will open up. With Image Resizer for Windows, you don’t need to do any of that. Then you can resize it as you want and then save it. Even if you use another light-weight tool that allows image resizing, you will probably have to open the image using the said tool first. It’s a huge piece of software and loading it all up to simply resize an image is not an ideal solution. If you’re a professional or even if you just edit a lot of photos you probably have Adobe Photoshop. Usually, resizing an image on Windows involved quite a few steps. But would you mind if you could resize images with a right-click on Windows? Not even Microsoft’s Photos app offers to resize images. Resizing images is a pretty basic image editing function and yet it’s not offered by any of the pre-installed apps on Windows. ![]() But for all its advanced image editing features, simply resizing images is not as simple on Windows. Of course, third-party tools are always there to provide anything you want. With new and exciting updates to Windows 10 and its Photos app though photo editing on Windows has become much more easier and quite advanced compared to what you could do with MS Paint. ![]() Microsoft Paint has been used by many to do some basic image editing every now and then on Windows. ![]() ![]() I own two printers and neither of them support AirPrint. Which means even though iOS supports printing, I haven’t been able to print to any of the printers in my house. However, there are some 3rd-party applications which you can install on your Mac to enable printing from your iPhone or iPad. These apps work by sharing the printers it has access to and tricking iOS into seeing those printers as being AirPrint enabled. If you don’t own an AirPrint-enabled printer, yet you want to print from your iPhone or iPad, you will need to install a 3rd-party app. But, which one? I found that with certain 3rd-party apps you get additional functionality and benefits beyond just being able to print from your iPhone. There are apps available from HP, Canon, Lexmark and others. ![]() Here is a quick look at some of those 3rd-party apps: Fingerprintįingerprint was the first app I came across that could solve the AirPrint conundrum. In addition to print-to-application, Printopia 2.0 also can use PDF workflows. We were searching for AirPrint enablers that worked on Windows.įingerprint has both a Mac and a Windows version, and so if you’re on Windows this may be the ideal solution for you.Īnd the reason I came across this application is because initially I was helping a friend set up AirPrint with his Windows-equipped office. When coupled with Ecamms Printopia, and one of the DT folder actions. It costs $10 and not only does it allow you to print to your printers, but it also lets you set up folders and print to a folder on your computer.īut there was one critical deal breaker for me: Fingerprint runs in the Menu Bar. I am ardent about having as few icons in my Menu Bar as possible, and therefore I kept searching for alternatives. If all you want to do is print, then AirPrint Activator may be the app for you. ![]() #PRINTOPIA SOFTWARE ALTERNATIVE ACTIVATOR# ![]() ![]() Our vast range of in-stock items can be collected from our sales counter during trading hours or by using our click and collect service.

The variety of modes each add a twist on the basic novelty here where players put items into the levels. Free Play is well, you can just play around in an empty level to your heart’s content. Creative is much slower paced and instead of a random Party Box, items can be chosen from an inventory. Challenge is a race to the finish in custom maps, which can be created locally or downloaded online. Party gets batty at times, especially as it goes on and the level gets filled with all sorts of impediments. The goal here is to place a platform so you can complete the level or drop an item to thwart your opponents. Each player picks one and then lays it out in the level. ![]() Party is the heart of the experience, where each round kicks off with a “Party Box” filled with random platforms, traps, or items. Select one of many animals and choose between various modes: Party, Challenge, Creative, and Free Play. The design of the main menu, which allows for some exploration of different options, deserves some commendation. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party game with a narrower focus that requires a little bit of work to get to the glorious gooey center of fun, but when you get there, it’s hysterical. The fun isn’t necessarily consistent, especially with an online mode that makes matchmaking somewhat difficult. The way your games go will likely oscillate between the two, depending on the players you’re with and the items you can place. At its worst, it’s frustrating or slow-paced. ![]() At its best, it’s absolutely nutty and insane, making for a hilarious time. This zany two-to-four player platformer is all about quickly laying out traps and platforms trying to make your path to the finish line easy while impeding the progress of your foes. Ultimate Chicken Horse is a party game that makes as much immediate sense as its name, which is weirdly at odds with its overall playability. ![]() ![]() ![]() After clearing a few games from my backlog, I'll have to go back and try playing through on the hardest setting :) i remember i interrupted No Regret at level 4 or so, then i dunno why i didnt play further i think i was a bit pissed my lovely game was so unfair somehow and i didnt want to lower the difficulty ), i will retry soon!īut i also had the feeling the game was a bit rushed released cause of the lack of the interludes etc. I beat both games on loose cannon difficulty. Remember in No Remorse how later in the game, some enemies had one hit kill weapons? We'll they started showing up a lot sooner in No Regret. In No Regret, if you got hit with anything other than the RP-32's, you were in for a very serious owwie. In No Remorse, enemies started out with weaker weapons like the BA-40's (handguns), In No Regret, the weakest weapon was the RP-32, which was one of the higher tier guns in No Remorse. IwubCheeze: No Regret was the harder game but I think the available weapons had something to do with that. After clearing a few games from my backlog, I'll have to go back and try playing through on the hardest setting :) She was a lot more toned down in No Regret which made the sparse "news" segments not as fun to watch. I prefered Trina Jenkins in No Remorse because when she delivered her lines, it was cheesey as hell but it fit the atmosphere perfectly. Talking with your fellow resistance members and the "news" sequences really added atmosphere to the game. I also prefered No Remorse to No Regret because of the rebel base interludes. I remember in one level, you could blow the floor open, drop down and take an alternate path to complete the level. Sometimes there was more than one way to complete a level (which could be easier or harder). Remember in No Remorse how later in the game, some enemies had one hit kill weapons? We'll they started showing up a lot sooner in No Regret.Īlso, in No Regret, the devs were even more punishing about hiding those keycards. ![]() Crusader No Remorse Music - Rebel Base 1.

No Regret was the harder game but I think the available weapons had something to do with that. ![]() ![]() Which is not an issue considering we saw Tony's butt. I know they did the whole jumpcut for comedic effect, but they could have quite easily included this scene without ever having to show anything more than Goal's butt. It's odd that Rufus feigns innocence after the eagle comment (which is an obscure reference that Goal probably wouldn't have figured out anyway) considering he had no issue what so ever with bringing up her piercing as soon as the opportunity arose. The whole dialogue choice and direction seems a little messy for this scene anyway. Probably not though considering they are flying at that point in time and eagles fly smoothly. We have anime, hentai, porn, cartoons, my little pony, overwatch, pokemon, naruto, animated. Smooth > Eagle > Bald Eagle > Bald > you get the point. One other little thing that could be food for thought is Rufus specifically chooses to mention "like an eagle" after Goal says "smoothly" so it could be a really roundabout way of saying she shaves downstairs. ![]() How exactly does her underwear get pulled down too in this situation? The hook is only attached to a loose part of the suit and the last time her suit was yanked off (goodbye deponia) her underwear remained fully intact and that specific yank would have had much more force than this yank. There does seem to be one little detail that they overlooked though. The second character (one of my own designs transfered into the art style) and the background was drawn by me. It shows Rufus, the main character of the game. ![]() Slightly changes to the eyes were made to adjust the line of sight. Little late to the party, but this pretty much seems to be what the devs implied.

It must be cool to have a skin of yourself. So before you start Valorant, first make sure you’re not running large programs like Chrome, Discord or Skype.
