Nvidia broadcast with zoom11/6/2023 ![]() ![]() A chroma and a complete set of it are worth good money, but now NVIDIA with its AI will eliminate our wallpaper (the one from the camera obviously) allowing it to be replaced with any image, even showing the game we are playing in the background, or allowing a blur of our background to focus attention on us. Aug 31, 2022, 6:00 AM PDT Image: OBS Popular open-source streaming software OBS Studio is getting some new features, including AI-powered virtual backgrounds from Nvidia Broadcast that allow.

Plants vs zombies 2 all plants almanac11/6/2023 ![]() Therefore, it is generally a bad idea to put Potato Mine inside a Pumpkin. If Potato Mine is planted inside a Pumpkin, only a few zombies with unusually large hitboxes can trigger him without eating the Pumpkin first, such as Football Zombie. Potato Mine is highly effective against the Zombie Bobsled Teams, capable of destroying the bobsled along with all four zombies if armed and planted right next to the ice. Potato Mines can also be used against Gargantuars, but it should be remembered that two Potato Mines will be required to kill one since they can absorb up to 3000 damage. An armed Potato Mine can also catch a subsurface Digger Zombie and instantly kill him, preventing him from rising up and attacking other plants. Similarly, they can be planted to make a Pole Vaulting Zombie jump early (even when unarmed), in addition to catching later zombies. Potato Mine can also be planted behind Wall-nuts or Pumpkins to catch any Pole Vaulting Zombies that try to vault through. Defensive plants such as Wall-nut or Tall-nut can buy Potato Mine additional time for arming, as well as gather more zombies to increase Potato Mine's efficiency. Potato Mine should be planted at least three squares or more in front of zombies with Basic speed in order to explode right when the threat approaches him. However, his arming period greatly hampers his usefulness in the long run, as the massive amount of threats will give Potato Mine little time to arm himself. Killing a zombie with a Potato Mine will net the player the SPUDOW! achievement.īecause of his low cost and early availability, Potato Mine can be effective in the early part of the level for neutralizing the first few zombies, especially if the enemies in question are Conehead or Buckethead Zombies, who will pose serious difficulty against more conventional offensive plants. It takes 15 seconds to arm himself, and cannot be planted on a Lily Pad. Potato Mine is the fourth plant unlocked after the player beats Level 1-5. Potato Mine's word on the speech bubble when he explodes, "SPUDOW!!", is a portmanteau of "spud" and "kapow." Mines are also an underground cavern, referring to how Potato Mine is an underground plant. He was inspired by the film Swiss Family Robinson, as George Fan felt it was satisfying to watch a zombie step on the mine so as to be defeated and covered in mashed potatoes. His name is a combination of "potato" and " land mine," an explosive device concealed under or on the ground designed to destroy or disable enemy targets, ranging from combatants to vehicles and tanks. To avoid them being overwhelmed, try to only have a select number of zombies in the lane until they are all eliminated.Potato Mine is based on the real-life potato, the starchy, tuberous root portion of the plant Solanum tuberosum. Since the zombies are moving in the same direction as the peas, the Repeater might struggle a bit as the target moves further, speficially when they're dangerously close to the player's house. This variant provides phenomenal support in fighting strong zombies like Gargantuars since it can constantly chip them from behind. ![]() In Vasebreaker, the Split Pea never appears, with its role superceded by a Repeater that fires backwards. The player should remember however, that flaming peas can remove ice-based effect from their direct target, making plants like Ice-shroom less effective, but not their splash damage targets. Like other pea-firing plants, Repeater benefits greatly from the use of Torchwood, as the latter can ignite peas passing through it, doubling their damage and giving them small splash damage. However, Repeater continues to suffer from some of Peashooter's weaknesses, namely poor crowd control capability and the inability to bypass Screen Door Zombie and Ladder Zombie's shields. This is further improved by the fact that Gatling Pea, Repeater's upgrade, is capable of the highest damage per second potential in the game under the right condition. This means that while the player will have more difficulty deploying Repeater early, the plant itself will prove to be much more useful as the level progresses. Overall, Repeater could be considered as two Peashooters combined into a single plant, with double the firepower and sun cost of the average Peashooter, and the benefit of space conservation, costing less than 2 Peashooters, and a faster recharge rate. Costing $5000 to buy and 250 Sun to plant, Gatling Pea is capable of shooting four peas at a time. A reverse version of Repeater appears in the Vasebreaker mode starting with To the Left, functioning identically to Split Pea's back head. ![]() In Beghouled and Beghouled Twist, Repeater acts as Peashooter's upgrade, costing 1000 sun. He can be upgraded to the Gatling Pea for 250 sun upon purchasing from Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies for $5000. Repeater is obtained after beating Level 1-8, and is the last non-mushroom plant received in the Day stage. About For more information about this character, see Repeater. ![]()

Our wild hearts11/6/2023 ![]() That was the more challenging part of the process – the post-production. My relationship with my kids has never been better. Some of the challenges of working together were that my wife and I had very strong opinions in the editing room about scene selections, about shots or music. It was really cool because the movie was about a dad and a daughter getting to know each other, and we actually did get to know each other better through the process. And I got to know my daughter in a way which I’ve never known her. I treated Cambrie as I would any actress, which is with respect, but I demand that they give their best every day. We had a job to do, and the stakes were high and a lot counting on it. They were members of the crew and members of the cast. I didn’t treat them like kids, and they didn’t treat me like Dad. On set, it was actually no different than working with other professionals. How does it differ working with your family like that on the set? My family got to know me better and what Dad does and understand me in a way, and I got to know them better in a way. I don’t know if we’ll ever get the chance to do it again like that, but it was a great time. It was just such a great, great experience. And my wife helped with a lot of the female dialogue and a lot of the relationship between Willow and her mother…. So, I sat down, and a month later, I was done with the first draft of the script. I said, ‘It’s really good.’ Cambrie and Ricky Schroder on the set of “Our Wild Hearts” And it came to a point where we just thought, ‘Wow, it would just be fun to work together as a family and do a project, a new adventure.’ And I said, ‘Well, Cambrie and Andrea, why don’t you guys think about it and come back to me with an idea of something that you like.’ And they came up with ‘Old Wild Hearts,’ and they pitched it to me. My daughter has also wanted to be a performer since she was six years old, and we’ve held her back because we didn’t want to choose that life for her and for the other kids. And it’s something that my wife and I and my daughter feel passionate about. They pulled the pioneers’ wagons, they plowed their fields, and they’re in jeopardy. They’re such an important part of America’s culture and west. We’ve always been fans of wild mustangs, wild stallions, and horses. Tell me how the “Our Wild Hearts” story came about. We had a very relaxed chat about his experience working with his family and his future career plans. Usually, interviews are conducted with a public relations rep on the line, but Ricky called me from his house without anyone else listening in. It premiered on the Hallmark Channel in March and becomes available Jon DVD and VOD. It’s a heartwarming film that’s appropriate for both kids and adults. The two become entangled with the fate of a wild horse and develop a relationship with one another in the process. Ricky plays a cowboy who discovers that he has a teenage daughter, Willow, when she seeks out the father she has never known. ![]() In fact, the star of the film, “Our Wild Hearts,” is his daughter, Cambrie. One of his recent projects as writer, director, and actor involved every member of his immediate family either on camera or behind the scenes. ![]() Now 43, Schroder is not only an actor, but also a writer and director. ![]() If you’re old enough, you’ll remember little Ricky Schroder on the TV show, “Silver Spoons,” or in the film, “The Champ,” with Jon Voight and Faye Dunaway.

Shades of red top 711/5/2023 ![]() ![]() Tip: Fairer skin tones look great in orange shades like peach, while darker skin tones look gorgeous in deeper oranges like terracotta. Some of the most universally-flattering colors to bring out blue eyes with any skin tone range from rust and copper (which Guzman says particularly makes blue eyes radiant) to burnt orange. Orange eyeshadow may seem daunting, but many warm, neutral eyeshadows actually have orange undertones in them and vary from light to dark shades that you can mix, match, build up, and layer.
