The drive slides into the dock and connects via a mini USB connector. Figure 2 shows the DockStar with an optional FreeAgent Go drive. The DockStar is designed to be an accessory for Seagate’s line of FreeAgent Go portable external disk drives. Of course, If you don’t activate a Pogoplug account, you’ll give up all of the remote access and file sharing features which I’ll cover in detail below.įigure 1: FreeAgent DockStar access via network browsing The DockStar will show up when you browse your network either in Windows as shown in Figure 1 or in the Mac OS finder. You can, however, connect the device to your local network and use it as shared storage without activating a Pogoplug account. The DockStar comes with a one year subscription to Pogoplug and the Pogoplug subscription costs $ 30 after that. The management features that exist are managed through Pogoplug after you activate your account. There isn’t a web-browser-based management interface built into the device. It’s important to note that the DockStar is not a full-featured NAS, nor is it intended to be. And as an added bonus, your files are available anywhere on the web via Pogoplug, courtesy of Seagate’s partnership with Cloud Engines, So File sharing between Windows, Mac OS, Linux and pretty much any other computer or device that sits on a network couldn’t be simpler. Seagate’s new $99.99 FreeAgent DockStar network adapter lets you share the contents of a FreeAgent Go external hard drive or up to three connected USB drives with any networked devices that support SMB/CIFS file sharing.

In retrospect they might have been claws or teeth.) Get wowed by the view … and by the long drop belowīecause I’m a keen and eager traveller I read all the info boards then stopped to talk to an Icefields staffer whose job it was to stand behind a briefcase-sized display of bird skulls.Learn no end of things about big horn sheep and ecology.Walk along the 400-metre cliff path called the Discovery Trail.Once you’re off the shuttle, pick up a free audio guide at the entrance.Note: If you’re driving you need to park at the Columbia Icefield Discovery Centre and take a shuttle from there.I quickly learned that the Glacier Skywalk, a 6-minute drive up the Icefields Parkway, is more than a view. So after a quick lunch at the Columbia Icefield Glacier Discovery Centre, a tourist hub with a very crowded cafeteria, gift shop, information desk and hundreds of sightseers milling around, I hopped the shuttle to the Glacier Skywalk while the rest of our tour group boarded a shuttle for the Athabasca Glacier. I’ll take one glacier-inspired adrenalin rush, please It’s not that I didn’t want to revisit the Columbia Icefield, which is cold and mysterious and in some places deeper than three Statues of Liberty put together, but I also wanted to visit the icefield’s newest attraction, the Glacier Skywalk, a glass platform perched 280-metres (918-feet) over the ancient Sunwapta Valley. (I worked in the staff kitchen if you must know, and only once did someone find a rusty nail in the brownies.) On iceīecause I’m so intimately acquainted with the Athabasca Glacier, I opted out of our Glacier Adventure Tour, a 20-minute ride over the Athabasca Glacier in a monstrous-looking Ice Explorer. I worked at one of the ‘toes’ of this frosty sightseeing attraction – the Athabasca Glacier – for three summers after high school. I don’t like to name drop but the Columbia Icefield, a 325 square kilometre (125 square miles) mega swath of ice that sits in a high plateau in the Rockies, is a good friend of mine. Undoubtedly, the blockbuster stop on the Icefields Parkway is the Columbia Icefields. And there are a ton of things to do in Jasper and Banff, which makes an Icefields road trip even better.įor those without a car, you can sign up for a bus tour. It’s a classic driving route complete with forbidding-looking glaciers, waterfalls and alpine lakes. With one end in Banff National Park and the other in Jasper National Park, the parkway is part of the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Icefields Parkway is a 232 km-long (144 mile) highway that slices and curves its way through a dramatic stretch of the Canadian Rockies from Lake Louise to Jasper in Alberta, Canada. My husband had the wisdom not to say any more, although for him the so-she’s-the-one-who’s-going-to-hold-up-the-bus expression is a semi-permanent condition. Nonetheless, at our next stop I vowed to be early, so early I probably wouldn’t even get off the bus. How was I supposed to know everyone else would board our tour bus early? With such clear views of turquoise Peyto Lake and the Canadian Rockies I’d just wanted to maximize my time so I’d gone for a mini hike, amazed at the pine-y sun-saturated silence that sprang up as soon as I’d stepped away from the viewpoint. “You said Peyto Lake was a 15-minute stop!” “I’m not late!” I said, trying to ignore the uncomfortable sensation of having an ENTIRE busload of tourists stare at me with a steely so-she’s-the-one-who’s-always-going-to-hold-up-the-bus expression. “The bus driver said you’d abandoned me,” Mark said, as I hastily boarded our bus after a stop at Peyto Lake on an Icefields Parkway tour between Banff and Jasper. Couples shot at Peyto Lake, with woman strangely dressed like a mountie in the background, and yes, I know my pants are dirty – that’s what you get from lolling around on the rocks. For all the how to’s about driving or taking a tour, scroll down. This spectacular route through the Rocky Mountains of Canada includes stops at knock-out sights such as Peyto Lake, the Columbia Icefield and Athabasca Falls.

To insure predictable results in this mode, it is best to also check Weight Map Normalization.Īnother thing to know is that in this mode all other bone functions cease to apply. The same goes when using negative weights. If the total value of the combined Weight Maps exceeds 100%,unpredictable results can occur. In order for a bone to have partial control over a point, that point must have at least two Weight Maps assigned to it. Note that if a point has only one Weight Map, the bone assigned to that weight will have 100% influence on that point no matter what the value of the Weight Map is. Since each vertex can have multiple Weight Maps, various bones can have a distinct influence on a vertex based on the strength of each Weight Map it is assigned to. Only uses values attained from an applied Weight Map to set bone influence. The influence a bone has on a point is now modified with the strength of the various Weight Maps on a given point. Use this dropdown menu to select a Weight Map to apply to the current bone. This determines the length of a bone at the time it was rested. This determines the orientation of a bone at the time it was rested. The most important is distance from the bone and bone falloff. ![]() How much a point is weighted towards a specific bone depends on several factors. ![]() How much effect it has is called weighting (not to be confused with Weight Maps). When a bone is rested in layout it has an effect on every vertex in the object. This determines the position of a bone at the time it is rested. "Use Morphed Positions" is (intentionally) not supported with Limited Bones. When Limited Bones mode is set for an object, it applies to all bones used for the object (unlike the other modes, which can be overridden by nulls in the skeleton). Limited bones instead limits the number of bones to the "Limited Bones Number" value. Both Faster Bones mode and Limited Bones mode work by choosing bones with the highest weights, but where they differ is that Faster Bones picks from all bones with the four highest weights (which can be any number of bones if multiple bones have the same weights). When active, the value in the new "Limited Bones Number" is used. Limited Bones - Designed to be more inline with how bones are used with game engines, Limited Bones is more restricted than the other modes for simplicity and speed.This can increase performance in objects with more than four bones. Faster Bones - Each vertex will only be affected by the bones with the four largest weights.Full Bones - LightWave legacy bone system.This option can adversely affect performance normally it should be turned off. With this enabled, bone deformations will be applied after morphs. Inverse Distance ^128 Use Morphed Positions ![]() Left: Inverse Distance, Right: Inverse Distance ^2 The larger the number the quicker the influence of the bones will falloff. An exponent is used (^2, ^4, ^8, ^16) to figure out how quickly the falloff will happen. Falloff typeįalloff Type uses a mathematical formula to set the falloff strength of a bone’s influence in the current object. Clear All bonesĪs the name suggests, this button will clear all bones from the current object. This allows you to change to a different object without having to leave the Properties Panel. When you first open the Bone Properties Panel, you only have access to the bones of the object that you had originally selected. This pop up menu allows you to choose a different object whose bone properties you would like to edit.

The Mail Merge panels in Pages '09 may not be complete, but since I do not use Pages '09 for Mail/Data Merge, I could be mistaken. Drag and drop of images from Finder still works. It is now impossible to update to iPhoto 9.6.1, as far as I know, and Photos may not migrate your iPhoto Library without a functional iPhoto v9.6.1 present. If you did not update iPhoto to v9.6.1 by now, then the Toolbar media tool will not show your iPhoto library images. Hyphenation no longer works in Pages '09 v4.3. This is now a manual export, and then attachment process. The Yosemite upgrade broke the Share menu : Send via Mail items in all iWork '09 applications. Provided that you have the iWork '09 DVD applications updated to their last revisions, then most of the features still work on macOS Sierra. |
