![]() ![]() Step 5: Examine For Cracks & HollowsĪfter the pool has been completely drained and prepared, we will thoroughly inspect the swimming pool walls for any cracks, hollows, or other issues that could compromise the resurfacing job’s longevity. Undercutting allows us to start working in the plaster right away. Step 4: Plaster PrepĪfter the hydrostatic pressure under the pool has been relieved, the pool must be prepared for plastering by undercutting all waterline tiles as well as any pool fixtures and features such as lighting, jets, returns, and the main drain. There is nothing holding the pool down in its place now that the water is gone, which could result in your entire pool springing up! This is why removing the hydrostatic pressure is so important. This will prevent the pool from “popping up” during the plastering process. The removal of hydrostatic pressure from beneath your pool is an important aspect of the replastering process. The submersible pump is normally placed in the shallow end and left running until the water is mostly drained, after which our team will come in the next day to finish the draining! Step 3: Relieve Hydrostatic Pressure This makes it possible to drain the water fast and effectively. The first stage in a professional pool plastering job is to completely drain the pool with our submersible pumps. Our staff will arrive at your property and get to work once we’ve decided on a course of action for your pool plastering project. You can look over our plastering color selections online here: Colors for Pool Plastering Step 2: Draining the Pool We’re thrilled to now be able to provide fully digital plastering catalogs complete with color swatches and more. We’ll show you how to choose the right color for your pool, whether waterline tiles should be added, how your color choice looks at different water depths, and more! Our goal is to make you understand the procedure and feel at ease with our knowledgeable staff. Our Houston pool plastering crew will demonstrate the several pool plastering color options available for your pool. We work closely with each client to develop a project cost and timeline that outlines all of the work that needs to be done to replace pool plaster. Here’s a quick breakdown of the plastering procedure that our skilled and professional pool contractors provide: Step 1: Select a Plastering ColorĬlear and unambiguous communication is the foundation of any successful pool plastering operation. ![]() The last thing you want to deal with when installing a new pool or remodeling a pool is squandered funds on shoddy plastering.ĭo you want to see how a regular pool plastering job is done? While each project is as unique as the customer and their pool, there are some common threads that run through all of our pool plastering and pool replastering projects. ![]() Proper maintenance and frequent care are two of the most important investments you can make in your pool. This deterioration can result in corrosion, chipping, and cracks, reducing the structural strength and overall appearance of your pool. However, with time, the plaster may begin to deteriorate and lose its tensile strength. Pool plaster not only enhances the aesthetics and design of your pool, but it also provides a protective covering that extends the life and enjoyment of your pool. While you may think about the water that fills your pool, have you considered the layer of pool plastering that keeps everything contained? On sweltering summer days, a pool may be a precious retreat that provides hours of enjoyment and soothing relaxation. ![]()

This includes Google Chrome, VLC Player, X264, CCleaner, MalwareBytes, LAVFilters, MKVToolnix, FFmpeg, AVIDemux, MakeMKV, MP4Tools and some others. Whatever filter has been installed last will get the highest merit.įor us retro XP users (and even more retro using Non-SSE2 CPUs) I started an ever growing list of the latest software versions which do still work under XP and/or Non-SSE2. After this Win7 will behave exactly like WinXP when it comes to DirectShow Filters. Of course you need to grab the permissions first. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred (obviously, 圆4 OS only) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\DirectShow\Preferred I chose the more radical approach to disable the Preferred Filters in the Registry altogether. To make the DirectShow Filters usable under Win7 there is the Filter Tweaker Tool by CLSID. And since users can screw up their Win7 installation pretty bad by using such a tool it is also essential to have the "acl_repair_utility_for_vista_7.zip" readily available. I use an older REG script (which unfortunately is language dependant so I won't post it here). One essential thing for Win7 is to have a utility available to grab permissions for files and folders by right-clicking a file or folder in Explorer. But basically I try to avoid Win Explorer, I use Total Commander instead. It provides a lot of options to tweak the Explorer appearance, works for me. I do not need to be babysitted and protected from myself, at least not by M$.įor the Win7 start menu I use the older Classic Shell v. I tried both, but my conclusion was to disable UAC altogether. There also is a software called "CacheMan" which has an option to tame UAC. ![]() (as I still use XP on multiple machines, at least P4).ĮDIT: I run as an administrator, and would prefer to keep UAC if possible to tame it.įor taming Win7 UAC there is a software called TweakUAC.

It is hard to believe that W7 Windows Explorer has survived so long without its bugs and peculiarities being squashed. Unfortunately the explorer is still bloody awful in comparison to the XP edition. I currently have Classic Shell installed (which fixes that god awful Windows Explorer jumping about thing when you click on a folder). (above with VD2 and MeGUI x86, have not as yet even tried 圆4 where I anticipate even more problems). Also, in MeGUI, it simply hangs before showing the Aspect Ratio preview window. One weird prob I'm having is when I right click avs file and load into VDub2, on pressing VD2 avs script editor F7 (save and refresh) key, it just stops responding altogether. I hope that ReactOS will be ready by then. Once they succeed in making Win7 unusable I will certainly say goodbye to MS. ![]() Just read that their upcoming Office 2019 will need Win10. But MS is actively working to put Win7 into the position WinXP is in now. Also getting rid of the built-in ZIP support, installing Classic Startup Menu, make Windows use the DS source filters which I have installed instead of the crappy MS filters, and some more.Īfter applying all these tweaks I can live with Win7. This includes turning off this stupid UAC, tame this whole permissions thing, disable Virtual Store (I want to know where my files REALLY are stored). Leaves Win7 which is not too bad, but only after tweaking dozens of things to make it resemble XP. Win8 and Win8.1 was a joke (at least for users without touchscreens), and Win10 is an absolute nightmare for me. I was wondering if there has been some tutorial posted on-site for taming said 7.īecause Windows did indeed improve up to XP (with the exception of the Millennium version which came out after Win98SE). Having recently 'upgraded' to W7, I'm trying to get to grips with the W7 weirdness, probably due to permissions and UAC. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This isn't always the case, as Lapis Lazuli fused with Jasper, whom she did not trust but fused with a purpose to stop her.Īlthough it's seemingly impossible for a human to fuse with a gem, Steven, being part human and part gem, has the ability to fuse with both gems and humans, the first human fusion being Stevonnie. Garnet gives Greg a more literal explanation of fusing in a romantic sense, that the Gems turn into light and have to be trusting of the other Gem with their light. An example of a stable fusion (and de-fusion) was shown in " We Need to Talk" when Rose and Pearl fused into Rainbow Quartz. If unsuccessful, Gems will be ejected before finishing the entire transformation. However, Sardonyx was the first fusion Gem not to show gemstones during fusion. If successful, Gems transform into an amorphous mass of light before fully transforming.ĭuring the process of fusion, the gemstones of the participating Gems are visible and will morph into their corresponding locations from their fusing Gems. Same type Gems are able to fuse by physical contact. Fusions are usually formed when two or more Gems perform a synchronized dance, though this is only optional, as seen with Smoky Quartz. To fuse, Gems must be in perfect sync mentally, physically, and emotionally. For example, the second time that Garnet and Pearl fused into Sardonyx in " Cry for Help", she did not know that Pearl had secretly repaired the tower. ![]() However, Gems who fuse together do not automatically share their memories with each other. Fusions retain all standard Gem abilities, such as fusing, shapeshifting, bubbling, and even more.Īn example of a stable de-fusion, Rainbow Quartz.Ĭommon memories from the fusing Gems are carried over to the fusion, such as Sardonyx, Sugilite, and Opal knowing who Steven Universe was. A fusion of hatred is inherently unstable. Certain inflicted defects can be carried and spread through fusion, such as corruption.Īs seen with Sugilite and Malachite, certain fusions will cause the loss of individuality between their fusing Gems if fused for long periods of time. However, for Garnet, this was not done it was only the fusion's voice, although it is unknown whether this is intentional. For Malachite and Alexandrite, the Gem in control's voice was layered over the fusion's voice to show control. It is also possible for different Gems to take control of different parts of the fusion, as proven by Lapis Lazuli's control of Malachite's hydrokinesis while Jasper was in control of the body. Malachite, Garnet, and Alexandrite, showed that one component Gem can take control of the fusion. Some dominant features in Gems can occur in their fusions, such as Pearl's nose shape. The same is presumably true of other Gem types that have only been seen as fusions so far. However, single-Gem Garnets can exist without being fusions, and individual Garnets (like Hessonite, Demantoid, and Pyrope) would look different from the fusion Garnet, as well as Obsidian and Snowflake Obsidian. For instance, the fusion of Ruby and Sapphire is named Garnet. Existing non-fusion type Gems will look different to that of a fused Gem. ![]() A fusion of multiple types of Gems is referred to as a Gem type other than those of the components. Fusion will cause the creation of a new Gem however, this does not necessarily mean that this Gem does not already exist. This creates an entirely different entity, as opposed to two minds sharing a single body. When Gems fuse, their bodies and minds become one. Alexandrite, an example of an unstable de-fusion. ![]() ![]() ![]() So I used Ni-Mh rechargeable batteries until its M1 button started failing (a mechanical issue fixed with disassembly and spray contact cleaner).

![]() ![]() Placing your Town Hall within the range of your most powerful defenses can give them the most shots to destroy enemy troops. ![]() Town Halls have the highest hitpoints of any relative level building, with the exception of Walls, which means they take a long time to destroy.Anti-3 star bases are used for war more commonly than they are as normal bases because getting the full 3 stars in war is more important. At higher Town Hall levels (especially level 9 and above), players can, instead of protecting their Town Hall, use it as a high hitpoint damage sponge - similar to Storages - as part of a strategy to prevent 3-star attacks from Dragons and other high-level armies, at the cost of making 2-star attacks much easier. This concept is, however, thrown away when you are trying to design an anti-3 star base, in which the Town Hall is considered just to be a high hitpoint building and is used to protect key structures to prevent the attacker from claiming a third star (hence the name).However, if they are unable to destroy it, they will get a maximum of one star. If an attacker destroys your Town Hall, they will immediately receive one star. If one is designing bases to protect their trophies or war bases, they should aim to protect their Town Hall at all costs.Players should aim to protect their Town Hall at all costs, as it contains 20% of all 3 different resources. Since the change that players no longer gain a shield if the opponent destroyed their Town Hall, placing it outside a farming base serves no purpose anymore, other than to rapidly drop trophies.The Town Hall is the equivalent of the Builder Hall in the Builder Base or the Goblin Hall in the Single Player Campaign.Protection of the Town Hall is critical for achieving player's objectives.The Town Hall lets you unlock new buildings the more you upgrade it. The Town Hall is the main and one of the most important building in the game. ![]() ![]() ![]() The upgrades don’t help at all and every level is exactly the same. I really gave this game a chance, kept it for weeks, but there is no getting around it. Everyone knows video games cheat, but this is by far the worst. Do yourself a favor and just download a slot machine. Then in a “magical” round, the enemy got energy drain, firewall citadel, and unmaker omega in a row!!! I obviously lost! I failed and I got hack pro and failed again! That is a summary of all my losses. The enemy stole my heroic droid and I had hack elite and I had persuasive code and so 90% from two drones. I had so many losses and they were stupid. If I want to purchase upgrades it’s because I want to, not because I have too. I love that I can play without paying for features I don’t want. The last thing I want to do is download a free game only to find out I have to pay to actually play the game. Either pay for the game or use in-app purchases to inhance the game. Update: Still love this game.Out of all the games that do in-app purchases, only 2% of them are used effectively. I haven’t found the game to be unfair as of yet and instead its really enjoyable. So, even if the opponent lands a couple of triples, it is still possible to turn things around and win the match. I’ve found that getting 3 of the same icons on a spin isn’t really down to random luck but more to do with timing. I’m currently Lv.13 and the game is beginning to be a challenge. What’s the deal? And the in app purchases are priced perfect. Players have 5600 wins and 3 loses? And I’m level 3 and can and have defeated these players. If I’m not using Wi-Fi it is nearly impossible to get a mp game going.Is there something I can do to fix this?I suspect there is some exploiting going on. The visuals are pretty, the music is kinda cool except highly repetitive. Very sad considering this game has such promise. That entire match I was not favoured whatsoever. ![]() Literally just finished a game where the AI hacked 3 of my tank drones and I never recovered from it. The fact that the game mechanics are quoted to “favour the user” is quite false. This game starts out fun then turns bad really fast. This game does take skill – not just luck – but if you hate the idea of doing everything right and still losing, then this one’s not for you. That being said, you usually can figure out the best moves, which should work most of the time. The computer simply will get better roles than you. OK, so this game WILL rob you, and I don’t think it’s just the “RNG”. ![]() ![]() ![]() We always recommend visiting your local Famous Footwear store to try the shoes on, or reading customer reviews if you are unsure which size is best for you.

Another integral part of the Nike brand is the “Just Do It” campaign, which was unveiled in 1988. Its appeal grew on him, and the rest of the world, and as a reward, the company gave the designer stock in the iconic company. She was originally paid only $35 for the logo, which Knight didn’t even like at first. The logo was designed by a student at Portland State University, who had met Nike co-founder Phil Knight by chance.

However, it’s important to note that this might not be appropriate for younger players due to its gore and mature themes. From fast and explosive to stealth and sniping types, it lets you create a skillset that will match your gameplay style. Still, contrary to the long-ranged mage archetype, there’s a lot of spell types you can try and master. Lastly, its battle system relies on real-time actions using magic spells. You’ll see Frey jump across canyon gaps, scale walls, and sprint through large landscapes–keeping you busy and entertained for hours. Of course, more than being visually breathtaking, the environment is also largely interactive. From bright and colorful landscapes to dark and twisted dungeons, there’s a lot of range as far as set design is involved. Visually speaking, the game utilizes the available technology to create stunning graphics. Meanwhile, it's great story draws similarities from Moana, the Disney film, with its use of once benevolent female figures corrupted by darkness of some sort. The interaction between her and Cuff, the gold and sentient bracelet, is funny and natural. Although the story feels like a fish out of water trope, Forspoken is actually far from it once you start playing. ![]() |
