![]() While bringing your one knee closer to the upper body, extend the other leg and push it. Many also keep both the legs in the same position through the exercise. So, keep your hands in front of your ears. Pulling your neck this way can lead to tension in the neck. Usually, people keep their hands behind their neck and bring their knees close to the elbows.

But here’s a closer look at 11 of my favorites and why I think skiers should consider them instead of – or in addition to – the Epic and Ikon Passes: 1) Ragged Mountain, New HampshireĬurrent price: $449 (increases to $499 on Sept. I’ve broken down season pass details for every mountain in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and New England here, including the Northeast’s eight regional multi-mountain passes. There is no perfect formula and no exact right way to do it. They do not need to be cheaper than an Epic or Ikon Pass, but they do need to offer a compelling value that acknowledges that these passes, with their sprawling access and approachable price points, exist. It can be very affordable, offer a lot of access outside of the home resort, have a creative suite of options, or include customer-friendly features like a payment plan or a clear refund or deferral policy. But there are more than 130 ski areas in the Northeast, and many of them have developed compelling pass offerings.Ī good pass can be many things. Northeast-specific editions will also occasionally nod to New York’s SKI3 Pass, New Hampshire’s White Mountains Super Pass, or Boyne’s New England Pass. No, the Ikon Base Pass is non-transferrable.There is no shortage of “comprehensive pass guides” that dutifully summarize the offerings of exactly four ski passes: Epic, Ikon, Indy, and Mountain Collective. No, upgrades are not currently available on the Ikon Base Pass.Ĭan I buy a Premier Platinum Pass and transfer the Ikon Base Pass to a friend or family member? Codes must be redeemed prior to December 14, 2023.Ĭan Premier Platinum Pass Holders upgrade their Ikon Base Pass to a Base Plus Pass? Guests that purchase Platinum Passes for the 2023-24 winter season will receive an email from Ikon at a later date with a code and instructions for redemption. How will Snowbasin Premier Platinum Pass Holders receive their Ikon Base Pass? ![]() No, Ikon Base Pass access isn’t provided to Platinum Passes until the 2023-24 winter season. This pass also provides the same benefits as the regular Premier Pass so you'll get unlimited summer and winter access at Snowbasin.Ĭan Snowbasin Premier Platinum ski this spring at Ikon Pass resorts with Buy Now, Ride Now? In Utah, that provides access to Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton and 47 total destinations. Snowbasin Premier Platinum Passes were introduced during the 2022-23 winter season and include an Ikon Base Pass. What is the difference between the Snowbasin Premier Platinum Pass and Snowbasin Premier Pass? They have formed a multi-year pass partnership, starting with the 2022-23 winter season, with Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective to offer benefits to each other’s season pass holders. Sun Valley and Snowbasin remain independently owned and operated. What is the relationship between Sun Valley, Snowbasin and their Pass Partners: Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective? It has not been determined if that will be available next winter. The Trifecta is a flexible ticket product that was only available during Black Friday and other sale promotions. I previously purchased The Trifecta or Sun and Snow 3-Day Pass. Upon a failed payment, your season pass will be deactivated until that payment is made. What happens if I miss a payment or have an expired credit card? If you purchase a Value Pass, access begins with the 2023-24 winter season. If you have a Premier Pass and purchase on a payment plan, you can start using it when we open for summer operations in 2023. If I use the payment plan, when can I start using my pass? It will automatically charge your credit card at the time of purchase, on July 31st and October 31st. No, the payment plan divides your purchase equally into three transactions. Prices will increase next after Labor Day?ĭoes the payment plan do a credit check or add fees? How does it work? Now is the time to purchase Snowbasin passes for the 2023-24 winter season and receive the lowest price of the season. When is the best time to purchase a season pass for the lowest price? No, it must be added during the original time of purchase to have coverage. If I dont buy the Pass Protection Program at purchase, am I able to add it at a future date? Your most recent season pass will be activated upon renewing your pass. No, if you are a returning pass holder from any previous season you will not need a new card. Premier Pass begin in tthe summer of 2023.ĭo I need to pick up a new card if I'm a returning pass holder? If I buy a Premier Pass for 2023-24, when to the benefits begin? It is also notable that this version produces so little recoil that when Cortez fires it one-handed and with a folded stock, it still barely moves. However, it cannot be obtained by the player and is not encountered again during the rest of the game. During the player's first encounter with Cortez, this version proves to be powerful enough to kill a Berserker or Grunt in one single headshot. Notably, Corporal Cortez seems to use a sharpshooter variant that, while unchanged from the outside, operates in semi-automatic only and fire a different kind of ammunition that is highly damaging. Outside of the immediate design, the machine gun boasts a few extra capabilities an integrated flashlight mounted under the barrel and a 2x scope, giving it limited sniping qualities - although the scope is not needed very often as long-range gunfights in Quake 4 are not common. The scope itself has a small digital ammo counter, which is hard to see on lower graphical settings. It can be equipped with forty and eighty-round magazines which have rubberized buttplates. The Machine Gun operates in semi-automatic and fully-automatic modes of fire - in-game, firing from the hip produces fully-automatic fire while aiming with the gun's scope allows for more precise semi-automatic fire. It has an extendable shoulder stock which is always retracted, an ambidextrous ejection port (for off-handed shooters or use inside vehicles etc), a muzzle brake at the end of the exposed barrel, a rounded foregrip and a small switch on the top of the grip which is likely a fire selector or safety switch. ![]() There is also the GDF assault riffle, which looks more like the Q4 machine gun and which handles like a compact GPMG.ĭespite its namesake the Machine Gun is quite a compact weapon, ranging about twenty to twenty-five inches long but is also quite angular and cumbersome in appearance. The Machine gun also appears in Enemy Territory: Quake Wars as a GDF weapon which can be operated by the Soldier (labeled "GPMG") or as a fixed turret on a vehicle or in a guard tower (also labeled as GPMG). The Machine Gun is obtained in the Air Defense Bunker, you will find it again in Strogg Medical Facility. Small, accurate and all-purpose, the rifle is the most common Human Weapons on Stroggos and commonly used by Tactical Stroggs. The Machine Gun is a compact, select-fire automatic assault rifle operated by the Space Marine Corps as their primary service rifle. To use the scoped mode, pull and hold the Zoom/Weapon Special trigger. If there’s a machinegun in your inventory and ammo is available, pressing the Flashlight button brings up the machinegun’s flashlight rather than the pistol’s. ![]() It holds 40 rounds in the clip, and, like the blaster, it includes an under-barrel flashlight. "Tire Alarm" would be that the tires do not have enough pressure in them.For multiplayer strategies, see Machine Gun (Q3).Ĭombining fully automatic fire and a single-shot scoped mode, the machinegun is truly a versatile weapon. ![]() Here are 10 of the most dangerous airport landings in the world. Test your piloting skills and handle the most critical flight conditions known to man. You deal with that one by coming in at a lower speed. Saba Airport World’s Shortest Commercial Airport Runway. The Saba International Airport has the world’s shortest commercial airport runway. It is 400 meters (1300 feet) in total length. Cope with emergencies and incidents inspired by real life scenarios in a climactic adrenaline rush. Start each engine individually, navigate between the equipment dashboard panels and be ready to solve over. Once you land, you would have to compensate for whatever direction the airplane lurches in.įor the airspeed and altimeter alarms, just use your memory of about how a certain altitude and speed looks like. For airspeed, the engine sound might also help.įor any of the braking alarms (brake, air brake, thrust reverse) just go in a little slower and lower and prepare for a longer landing roll.įlaps alarm. ![]() This game is developed by RORTOS a company that has a lot of experience in developing flight simulation games. Just fly and land normally, not too much of a problem with that.ĪSY and No Fuel (for certain engines) alarms would best be counteracted by just using more throttle than you normally would since a number of engines would not be working. One of the earlier products that you may know is AirFighters, F18 Carrier Landing, Extreme Landings, Real Flight Simulator or Extreme Landings Pro that I am recommending. Note: Tire, airspeed, altimeter, braking, and flaps alarms can't be "fixed" from your controls. The ASY and No Fuel may be able to be fixed by transferring fuel over to the empty tank. However, in certain alarms, the fuel just leaves immediately, so forgo trying to transfer fuel over. You also want to keep your attention of your flying or you might smash into the ground while trying to take care of your alarms. ![]() Not to say the puzzle feels overly simplistic it just doesn't require abstract thought to solve. The solution is so blatantly logical it's obscene. For example, early on, Kate needs to wake up a pilot who has fainted after his plane crashes on a snowy mountaintop. Even with some frustrations, the game does a pretty good job overall of integrating puzzles into the game world. The puzzles in Syberia II are a mixed bag of anything from flawlessly logical brain teasers to completely illogical brain roasters. When not rummaging through a hundred billion pixels to activate the aforementioned hot spots, chances are you'll be out solving puzzles. It is way too easy to completely miss an entire section of a restaurant, bar or what have you just because you don't hold title as the world's best hot spot hunter. Which brings up problem number one: unless you have super-vision, you'll either need cornea implants or your glasses cleaned and tweaked to find some of the more reclusive hot spots in this game. Usually, this means mousing over characters to initiate a conversation or scrolling over an item to pick it up. As in most games of this type, a bulk of the adventure will have you moving your cursor around the screen in search of hot spots. Now though, you only make a few phone calls that actually matter story-wise, making the phone feel more like a novelty than anything else. I really didn't mind the heavy cell use in the first game, as it sometimes provided bits of needed info on the story. She ends up hanging up on most of the calls she gets. The cell phone has taken a backseat in Syberia II, as Kate Walker has pretty much severed all connections with her former self. Fans of the original will remember getting tons of phone calls from Kate Walker's mother, boyfriend and boss. You control Kate Walker through a very simple interface made up of an inventory screen, a document screen, and of course, a slot for Kate's cell phone. Most previews of Syberia II mention the first few hours spent in the dreary town of Romansbourg, so I'll just skip past all that. Kate Walker forsakes family and career to head off into the frozen north in search of the old man's dream, even if she's still not too sure about it herself. She's now resolved to help Hans Voralberg reach the mythical island of Syberia. She disregards her boss's plea to have her return home to New York after she left for France on a business trip weeks earlier. The opening movie in Syberia II reveals Kate Walker letting go of her roots. It's ok if you don't know what I'm talking about, Syberia II graciously provides a bite-sized prologue for the Syberia virgins of the world through an optional cinematic. The trio soon boards a whimsical wind-up train and shoot into the frozen unknown in search of Syberia. Kate Walker meets and joins Oscar, a wimpy yet loyal automaton built by Hans, in a bid to realize the crazed dreams of the frail old man. The old man seemed deliriously obsessed with finding Syberia, a sacred island where Mammoths still freely roam. Syberia: The World Before is the culminating point of the late Benoit Sokal’s steampunk and wonderous universe.When gamers last saw Kate Walker, she had found the elusive Hans Voralberg, an aging toymaker who built advanced machines and automatons. The Budapest Film Symphony, led by the internationally acclaimed composer Inon Zur (Prince of Persia, Dragon Age, Fallout…) created a sublime score, and interpreted meaningful themes for the characters and locations throughout the game Accompanied by the music of Inon Zur and the Budapest Film Symphony, piece together the puzzles that will disentangle the mysteries of two lives entwined togetherĬarve your path across an unprecedented adventure using your wits, repair broken instruments, open tricky locks, find elaborate ways to activate mechanisms from the past, but above all watch closely your surroundings for clues Unravel the intertwined fates of Kate Walker, a New-York attorney whose life was turned around by the call to adventure, and Dana Roze, a young and promising pianist in Vaghen whose career is threatened by the shadow of the Second World WarĪ tale like no other! Embark on a magical journey through the enchanting cities of eastern Europe, both in 19. ![]() If you have an old oven like me, then you'll also need to increase the cooking temperature (325 F is just waaaay too low). Serve in slices with caramel spooned over.Īs many people point out, the cooking time is a little over-kill. If not, tap plate against countertop until it does. Slowly lift off dish crème caramel should slide out. ![]() Invert a large plate over dish, then quickly flip. To unmold, run a thin-bladed knife around edges of dish, making sure tip of knife stays flush against bottom of dish. Remove dish, cover with plastic wrap, and chill crème caramel until set, at least 4 hours and up to 2 days. Bake until custard is set but still jiggles a bit at the very center, about 1½ hours. Transfer to oven and pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of dish. Pour through a fine-mesh sieve into caramel-lined dish. Reheat coffee mixture until steaming, then pour into eggs, whisking constantly to combine. Whisk eggs in a medium bowl to break them up a bit. Set inside a roasting pan or other ovenproof dish with high sides. Quickly tilt pan to coat bottom and a bit of the way up the sides with caramel. Cook, swirling pan every few minutes, until caramel is deep mahogany and wisps of smoke appear. ![]() Once syrup turns clear, stop stirring and increase heat to medium. Do not rush this step if liquid boils before sugar dissolves, the caramel will never darken. Cook lemon juice, remaining ⅔ cup sugar, and ¼ cup water in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, cover, and let sit 30 minutes. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Put the chips out for the broccoli nay-sayers.Combine milk, coffee, lemon zest, and ½ cup sugar in a small saucepan. Scatter seeds all over and add some dashes of hot sauce (or pass the hot sauce at the table for people to control their personal spice destinies). Spoon reserved chile-lime mixture over, then place broccoli on top. Spoon avocado sauce onto a platter or big shallow bowl, then use the rounded side of the spoon to spread it out. That's the goal - shoot for the very crisp end of the crisp-tender continuum. You want to slightly soften the broccoli and get good color on it, which will mellow its raw flavor and assertive crunch without overcooking it. Turn and cook until second side is browned, 2 minutes more. Toss to coat, then cook in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden-brown on underside, 2 minutes. Working in batches if needed to prevent crowding, add broccoli to pan, cut-sides down, and season with salt. Place a large cast-iron skillet over high heat and add reserved coriander oil plus remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Some florets will break off, which is no big deal. Cut the stalks lengthwise through the crown into 1/2-inch wide spears with florets and stalks attached. Trim the woody end from broccoli stalks, then peel with a vegetable peeler until you get down to the light green, tender layer. Use a slotted spoon to transfer seeds to a plate season them with salt and let cool. Cook, swirling the pan often, until seeds are golden-brown, 1-2 minutes. In a small skillet or saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons oil, sunflower seeds and coriander seeds over medium heat. Set avocado sauce and chile-lime mixture aside separately. Squeeze lime juice into a small bowl, then thinly slice the serrano and add it to the juice. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as desired. Season with salt and pepper, add sour cream and buttermilk, then use a whisk to beat into a thick, slightly coarse puree. In a medium bowl, smash avocados with a fork until chunky. ![]()

How can you add more of the attitudes and actions in the first list to your own behaviours? How can you control those behaviours you recognize in yourself from the second list?Īctive listening should accomplish two things: Now compare these lists with your own behaviour. Use these items to create your second list. Describe what actions and postures they use to show they are not listening. Focus on what they do, not what they are saying. Picture that person clearly in your mind. Think of a person you consider a poor listener. Use these items to create your first list. Describe what actions and postures they use to show they are listening. Think of a person you consider an excellent listener. The principles of active listening are not hard to understand, but they are hard to implement and require practice to use them effectively. ![]() Listening is an active process, as opposed to hearing, which is passive.īeing an active listener takes concentration and work. “With the objective of understanding” means that you will learn enough about what the speaker is saying to be able to form your own thoughts about the speaker’s message. “Purposefully focusing” implies that you are actively processing what the speaker is saying, not just letting the sounds of their voice register in your senses. This definition is straightforward, but there are some important concepts that deserve a closer look. Active listening requires focus and attention. Listening is nothing more than purposefully focusing on what a speaker is saying with the objective of understanding. And it is a skill that will benefit you on the job and help your relationships with others. Effective listening is one of the most important learning tools you can have in college or university. ![]() We’re distracted, thinking about other things, or formulating what we are going to say in reaction to what we are hearing before the speaker has even finished. Active listening is being engaged as a listener, not just hearing the words.Īre you a good listener? Most of us like to think we are, but when we really think about it, we recognize that we are often only half-listening. People usually love to be heard but are often not as excited about listening. Listening is an essential part of communication and is often the weakest link in the communication process. Being a good communicator involves not only being good at speaking.
