![]() ![]() The cons of the Copper Canyon are worth noting before you buy: the price comes at the expense of materials. Wirecutter called this tent “the best car camping tent for most families.” BustedWallet gave it an 8.8/10, and Mountains for Everybody an 8.4/10. The Copper Canyon is well-loved by other professional reviewers, too (see Sources). Particularly impressive, Eureka has solved an age-old problem of tangled guylines on the rain fly by building in a small pocket for each line, so they don’t get tangled during set up. As with the Boondocker, Eureka also offers an optional add-on gear loft that attaches to the sides of the tent for even more storage. There's even a hanging mesh storage pocket in the middle of the tent. They're located higher up from the floor than its competitors, meaning the pockets are accessible for cot users. One of the things we liked the most about the Copper Canyon is that it has plenty of gear storage pockets. The tent body is heavy on mesh - great for ventilation and views of stars when the waterproof rain protection is off. ![]() This tent will perform well in spring, summer, and autumn conditions. But senior editor Brandon Lampley notes that tent manufacturers base season ratings on a tent's ability to survive a snow load, and secondarily, high winds. Like all the camping tents we considered, it may not handle winter conditions well. Remember our math - if it lasts 10 years (it should) and you use it three times a year on a weekend at full capacity of 6 people, the price breaks down to $3.80 per person, per weekend.Ī few words of caution - the Boondocker is a solid 3-season tent. However, this generously-sized, well-built tent will serve you well for many years if you’re looking to take extended camping trips. For more budget-minded folks, look to our other recommendations. Still, we were surprised by how often you can find it for about 25% off at certain retailers. Our biggest concern with the Boondocker is the price (which honestly, isn’t uncommon for tents of this size-see the REI Kingdom 6 for reference). The caddy hangs right inside the tent but can be carried around camp as well.Įureka also offers an optional add-on gear loft that attaches to the sides of the tent for even more storage. It comes with a “gear caddy,” a portable mesh bag that can hold anything from headlamps to dirty laundry. We also like that the Boondocker has floor-side gear storage pockets for each person it can fit (6 total). Outdoor Gear Lab ranked it #4 on its list of 11, and says “this is a different tent, but different can be good." Man Makes Fire called it “one of the most versatile and reliable 6-person tents” and a “can’t go wrong” pick. We’re not the only ones to think the Boondocker is the best tent for most people (see Sources). You can even roll up the side and turn the vestibule walls into a sunshade. In fact, stormproofness is surprisingly far less common in the category.įar and away the coolest feature of the Boondocker is its “garage vestibule.” This can hold a bike, a small boat, a few chairs, or all your camping gear. While being able to stand up to extreme storms is a requirement for a backpacking tent, it shouldn’t be taken as a given with camping tents. If it happens to rain on your camping trip, the Boondocker’s rainfly covers the entire tent, with a durable structure that should hold up in all but the most extreme storms. In contrast, many inferior tents required you to go outside to seal waterproofing up. The Boondocker's rain window can be zipped up from the inside, which many reviewers appreciated. ![]() Tents with tall, straight walls give you room to breathe, even when you sleep in a cot. Tents with angled walls end up in your face if you use cots. Famil圜 notes that the vertical walls “allow for the use of bunk cots.” Cots are elevated beds that work with blankets or your sleeping bag. The Boondocker is a large camping tent that features two large doors, a 6 foot peak, and near-vertical walls. ![]()

![]() The programmer makes an edit, and then posts the NC code for the current job they are running. On the face, there is nothing wrong with this method. There are many CNC Programmers that "hack" the post processor, to get the code they need "right now!". A break in this chain can spell a headache, or in some cases a disaster. You've got to know the CAM System itself (how the data is created in the "generic" format), the Post Language that is used by the post processor, and the proper syntax for the NC code that will be run on the machine. There are many honest and reliable Post Developers in the CAM business, but I'd also provide a word of caution. In reality, there is nothing wrong with using this business practice. I've seen many companies over the years that rely on their Reseller or a 3rd-Party Post Builder to obtain their posts. All CAM systems use some form of Post Processor, so make the effort to learn how they work, and how to edit them. It is a matter of "when", not "if" there will be an error introduced into your NC code. Without having a properly configured post processor, your company is playing with fire. Making hand-edits to your NC code breaks the link between the CAM program, and the code being run on the machine. This is an error-prone and dangerous process. Without a properly formatted post processor, you must resort to making hand-edits to your NC code. The Post Processor is the fundamental link between the work you do inside your CAM system, and the machine that is removing the metal. The "best" of them have one thing in common they know something about how to edit the post processor to get proper NC code for their machine. ![]() ![]() I've met so many different CNC Programmers over the years. Understanding how to make the post processor output the proper code for your machine is a critical part of the program creation process. But what is a Post Processor? A Post Processor is a software script that is used to convert the generic CAM program into NC code that is formatted with the proper Syntax for your machine. By far the most important skill I've picked up along the way is the ability to make edits to a Post Processor. I've been using Mastercam to program CNC Machines since 1997. ![]() ![]() ![]() It claims to stop annoying spam calls and telemarketers with smart caller ID, giving your visual voicemail a junk mail folder. YouMailĪs the original third-party multi-platform visual voicemail service, YouMail has been operating for 15 years. The best Android email apps include Outlook for Android, Gmail, Email by Edison and Newton Mail. If you want to access visual voicemail, your best bet is downloading a third-party option. If you’re connected to an audio-only automated voicemail system, your carrier won’t provide visual voicemail. You’ll be prompted to set up your visual voicemail inbox if you haven’t already. Today, to access your iPhone’s built-in visual voicemail, open the dialer app and tap the voicemail icon in the bottom right-hand corner. One of the original iPhone innovations in 2007 was an app offering speech-to-text voicemail transcription. Except for the Android- or iOS-specific services (which we’ve noted in parentheses), these solutions should work on multiple networks and devices. Here’s a look at seven of the best visual voicemail packages and their platforms. Visual voicemail apps often come with additional services, including the ability to record individual greetings for specific contacts, broadcast an out-of-office message, or prevent unwanted callers from leaving a message. Hearing an angry voice can be disconcerting and stressful, while reading their comments can help you feel more composed and detached. Reading a written message can be easier and less stressful than listening to an audio recording in many circumstances.

They meet, and it is revealed that the girl that Gulsher had been talking to on the phone, is the same girl that Faraz is in love with: Shahnaz. Back to Gulsher, the girl calls for him again, and he insists to meet her so he can apologise. Kashif tells him that they are his family friend. Kashif is talking to the man that is with her (her adoptive father) and Faraz asks him how he knows them. At a nearby mansion, Faraz sees the same girl. Faraz and Kashif are sent to Mona Depot, to get a horse-riding course. He is also very impressed, and starts liking her a little bit. Faraz is very surprised about the facts that the girl is so bold and not shy at all. The girl tells Faraz that she noticed what he has done. In the first holidays, Faraz goes for a jog in the jogging park and sees a girl. He goes there, stands there for 4 hours and eventually returns. He is told that the General will be meeting him at 8PM at the park. The girl didn't like this at all and tells him that she is the daughter of the General in the Army, and he will have to pray a price for this. Gulsher tries to flirt with her and says if you want to talk to me, just be honest. In the 2nd episode, when Gulsher takes the seat of the Adjutant, he gets 2 calls from the same girl who is claiming that the call mistakenly goes to this number, and she is trying to reach another number. The three slowly get settled down into the army. A couple of days later, Gulsher joins as well. But Kashif already knew because of his father who was a General in the army. The day after, Kashif comes in as well and he is also fooled by the batman. He is bashed for this, and he is even fooled by the batman, who happens to be the Major. Faraz enters first, and he comes in with his brand new Mercedes car which his father (a very rich landlord) gifted him for winning the sword of honour. The drama starts when the three friends have just passed out from PMA (Pakistan Military Academy) and enter the army as officers. The drama is based on the life and times of three characters - Faraz, Kashif, and Gulsher also known as Alpha Bravo Charlie. The events in the drama involve romance and comedy, while reflecting the Pakistan Army's operational involvement in the Bosnian War and Siachen conflict. The drama was produced by PTV Lahore centre and Shoman Productions. The last shooting was completed at Pakistan Military Academy, Kakul on 4 December 1997.

The risk of Luftwaffe attack on training bases in Great Britain coupled with the urgent need for larger numbers of well trained aircrew than the pre-war systems could produce brought about the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan ( BCATP), often referred to as simply "The Plan". Training Initial flight training Ī flight of North American Harvard IIAs from No 20 Service Flying Training School being flown in formation by RAF trainee pilots participating in the Commonwealth Joint Air Training Programme at Cranborne, near Salisbury, Rhodesia A memorial in Green Park in London was unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II on 28 June 2012 to highlight the heavy casualties suffered by the aircrews during the war. Therefore, a total of 75,446 airmen (60 percent of operational airmen) were killed, wounded or taken prisoner. Bomber Command aircrews suffered a high casualty rate: of a total of 125,000 aircrew, 57,205 were killed (a 46 percent death rate), a further 8,403 were wounded in action and 9,838 became prisoners of war. In total 364,514 operational sorties were flown and 8,325 aircraft lost in action. (For more details, see "Aircrew Ages" section below.) Most aircrew were aged between 19 and 25, although some were as young as 16, and at least one was in his sixties. Of these, 32 were officially non-British units: 15 RCAF squadrons, eight RAAF squadrons, four Polish squadrons, two French squadrons, two RNZAF/"New Zealand" squadrons, and one Czechoslovakian squadron. Likewise many RAF personnel served in Article XV squadrons.Ī total of 126 squadrons served with Bomber Command. While it was intended that RCAF, RAAF, and RNZAF personnel would serve only with their respective " Article XV squadrons", in practice many were posted to units of the RAF or other air forces. Under Article XV of the 1939 Air Training Agreement, squadrons belonging officially to the RCAF, RAAF, and RNZAF were formed, equipped and financed by the RAF, for service in Europe. While the majority of Bomber Command personnel were members of the RAF, many belonged to other air forces – especially the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF), Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) and Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF). The crews were men from the United Kingdom, other Commonwealth countries, and occupied Europe, especially Poland, France, Czechoslovakia and Norway, as well as other foreign volunteers. The aircrews of RAF Bomber Command during World War II operated a fleet of bomber aircraft carried strategic bombing operations from September 1939 to May 1945, on behalf of the Allied powers. They also acted as a vital element to Operation Exodus that saw the repatriation of over 70,000 POW’s from internment camps across Europe.RAF recruitment poster featuring the Handley Page Halifax. ![]() It was Bomber Command that delivered the world’s first airborne humanitarian mission, Operation Manna, delivering over 7,000 tons of food parcels in 10 days over the west of Holland, where one million people were registered as starving. They too suffered losses and are memorialised on the IBCC Walls of Names.īomber Command developed and pioneered new technologies that together with Allied contributions of both men and material allowed a huge expansion of bombing operations after 1942, contributing to the eventual victory in Europe. Their tasks included engineering, scientific developments, the loading of bombs, air traffic control, plotting, map creation and a myriad of other essential roles. So concerned were the Axis powers about Bomber Command’s capabilities that they permanently stationed more than 1,000 Luftwaffe aircraft for the purpose of fighting the bombers as well as more than 30,000 artillery pieces.Ī million men and women supported Bomber Command on the ground. Their bombing sorties did great damage to the Axis powers industrial capacity. ![]() ![]() ![]() When it comes to character animation, NewTek has been listening to its users. Setup and control of character animation is now faster, more flexible, and more intuitive than ever before. Yet, it is in the area of character animation where LightWave really shines. Version 8 also sports an improved work flow in Layout and Modeler, thanks in part to a new Bridge tool that allows one object to be pasted to another and unlimited layers. The program also gained Autosave, which will save your work at any given point automatically-a useful tool for those 3 a.m. ![]() With the push of a button, you have access to a large searchable database with an easy-to-navigate index and a full glossary of 3D terms. New users or those working with earlier versions of the software are really in luck with the new real-time Help system, perfect for any beginner. One trait that I've always appreciated is the ability to configure the menu layout and hot keys any way you'd like so you can work the way you want. Menu and interface refinements make things cleaner and more standard. The user interface is more intuitive, and the new menu layout felt more natural. I experienced fewer crashes than with previous versions. At the same time, LightWave has been optimized for speed via its support for the OpenGL standard. This latest release features several enhancements, the best of which is its improved stability. Those who purchase the electronic upgrade version (for $495) receive a PDF of the manual. The Getting Started guide and the full printed manual, which weighs in at a whopping 1500-plus pages, is comprehensive and includes several well-written tutorials to get you up to speed on using the tools. The package includes four CD-ROMs, including two discs of content, as well as a bonus CD of useful third-party plug-ins. LightWave 3D Version 8 makes a great impression right out of the box. At the very least, I'd prefer a dongle that has a pass-through, so other USB devices can be used. While I understand and support the need for NewTek's developers to protect their hard work, I believe there has to be a better way. ![]() Software piracy, unfortunately, is rampant, so LightWave 8 ships with a USB dongle. I tested the program on a Mac G4 equipped with a 1ghz CPU and Mac OS.X Version 10.3.3. Of all the 3D tools in my arsenal, LightWave has the cleanest and most user-friendly interface. And that's especially true with Version 8. LightWave 3D is an affordable software package that can create whatever the designer's mind conjures. Whether for modeling, texturing, scene layout, image correction, titling, or animation, the program suits a broad range of users in a wide variety of disciplines, including the print design and manufacturing industries. LightWave 3D's greatest strength is its flexibility and versatility. The Amiga is gone and Toaster is now on the PC, but the LightWave 3D animation and graphics program continues to be refined and improved. the early 1990s, there was the Commodore Amiga, NewTek Video Toaster, and LightWave 3D. ![]() ![]() ![]() Browse the entire range online today and start shopping.
