Once in a while a bottler will screw up the formula for Mt. I believe that "extremely sweet" is one of the more accurate descriptors of the flavor. However the flavor of Mountain Dew is even farther removed from artificial orange sodas. Unlike most sodas, Mountain Dew contains orange juice as a minor ingredient, and perhaps this should appear in the entry. I have heard Mountain Dew described as lemon and lemon-lime, but it does not taste like Sprite or other lemon-lime sodas. ![]() In my opinion that is difficult to describe - "citrus-flavor" is about as close as you can get.What flavor is Mountain Dew exactly ? The article says citrus flavor - but what citrus fruit ? I think it is hilarious though so I am going to repost it as new news on my site. I know this because I made it up! The purple graphic floating around some websites is from my site from a few years ago. My name is Vince Cracchiolo, and my website is.

Cburnett 04:44, (UTC) Check out the boards at for more info on this, apparently it's very delayed. ![]() Again, nothing substantial to show it exists. I couldn't find anything either and, in fact, I found references made in 2003 that it was coming out for the next easter.which was over a year ago. Can someone provide some more reasonable verification that this is not a hoax perpetrated by the blogging community? User:chrysrobyn 03:03, (UTC) I can't find reliable personal or web references to Mountain Dew Electrocution. Elwin Blaine Coldiron 04:55, 12 February 2007 (UTC) I was wondering if it was going to be up there forever. It's the colorful details like this that show the fascinating interactions between mountain dew, youth culture, misinformation, irrational fears, blah blah blah. Some may feel it doesn't merit inclusion because it isn't true, but I feel that it adds a lot of flavor to the mountain dew story. The Straight Dope: Mountain Dew = shrinking 'nads? Urban Legends Reference Pages: Toxin du jour (Don't Overdew It) I think that the well-known rumor regarding the yellow #5 food coloring in Mountain Dew causing men's gonads to shrink would make a nice addition to the article. = Testicular Atrophy Urban Legend = Smallnuts!! 0.o Example: "Do the Dew."- Cyberman 02:46, (UTC) I think you should put in something about the slogans they have had. Why don't we get a copy of the logo that has the green background so it's more consistent with the old logo?

I would just revert it, but I was wondering if anyone had any reasons not to? Colin Hill 11:24, (UTC) Also, that logo really shouldn't be a jpeg. That isn't the new logo.that's the old one!

I'm not sure what's more pathetic, the act of vandalism or the crap they put in. Just fixed the article with another revert. This article for some reason is a high target for vandalism.

If you want to save $10 sim shipping charges, call sprint customer service to swtich, set up your account and once you have established the account with sprint (credit check,other eligibility ) go to a sprint store & give your account number & pin (they can pull up your account with your SSN aswell) & get a free sim. Sprint is a thief, they get your money one way or the other. Sprint sucks, when I switched I told the representative that I don’t want any service, still he activated “cell phone insurance ” for $13 a month, I called sprint cust service like 20 times to cancel it or remove it, but it doesn’t get cancelled. Remember you have to use the same phone for 120 days before switching to different device. Easy! I could have got a better phone, but did not wanted to spend more than what I would spend anyways, there are no plans for less than $30 a month. Hi, I switched to tmobile pay as go & brought a phone for $350 (iphone se) from Apple store and switched. You must own the phone(s) you’re bringing to Sprint.For accounts with multiple phones, the total spending limit is calculated as the number of phones on the account multiplied by the spending limit per phone.Your Spending Limit is the monthly maximum amount of spending per phone on your account based on your credit decision.charge will apply for Account Spending Limit customers If AutoPay and eBill are removed, a $7.99/mo.If AutoPay is cancelled, you’ll pay $5/mo./line.Requires a Sprint SIM card, eBill and Sprint AutoPay ($5/mo./line discount applied within two invoices).The fee will appear on your first bill and a credit will appear within 2 bills. Your $30 activation fee is waived as part of this promotion.A standard $1.99 admin fee, $0.40 regulatory fee and other taxes and fees apply.Switch your whole family and save even more!.You’ll save more than $900 (compared to Verizon’s one-line unlimited rate plan) in the first year.Free service for 1 year for new customers who switch to Sprint and sign up on /1yearfree between 6/9/17 and 6/30/17.Purchase more on-network high-speed data for $15/1GB to tide you over for the rest of your bill cycle.Continue at up to 2G speeds (32 Kbps) on our network for no additional cost, or.10GB of high-speed data per line to use toward mobile hotspot, VPN and Peer-2-Peer usage.Data deprioritization applies during congestion.

There’s no annual contract and you can keep your phone, number, accessories, photos, apps and music. Check out the fine print as I did not scour it too closely (Sprint’s coverage isn’t solid enough where I live to seriously consider this as our regular service). The hard credit pull kind of turns me off - we’ll see. I’m tempted to port one of those lines to Sprint just to use as a hotspot for a year. However, we have 2 T-Mobile lines with new numbers (since we never ported over the other 2 family members). We’re going to go back to Cricket (or maybe AT&T to take advantage of the Amex Offer there). We ported my number and my wife’s number and found that T-Mobile’s coverage is unfortunately still too limited for us. For example, I recently decided to switch to T-Mobile and planned to port over my wife and I and two family members. You may even be able to add a line to one of those services just to switch it to Sprint - I don’t see any requirement as to how old the line needs to be to take advantage of this promo. This might be a particularly good deal if you have a line that you don’t need with Verizon, AT&T, or T-Mobile. If you don’t have a Verizon phone or one of the phones above, you will probably need to buy a new phone for this deal. In addition, the following phones should all be unlocked and compatible with Sprint: Sprint’s service runs on a different technology than AT&T/T-Mobile, so not all phones will work on Sprint’s network. Must buy a SIM card ($2.99 + $10 shipping or pick up in-store for free).Hard credit pull required for activation.Free unlimited talk, text, and data for 1 year. ![]() I haven’t dug into the terms of this offer, but thought it was worth making readers aware. While Sprint’s coverage map isn’t as strong as its competitors, free is still a great price (and might be worth it for free mobile hotspot service alone). Sprint is offering free unlimited cell phone service for 1 year* (*not entirely free as there is a $1.99 admin fee and some taxes) for customers switching from post-paid AT&T, T-Mobile, or Verizon service.

I also tried enabling / disabling Vsync and nothing worked. I tried setting the game to High Priority and to run on Core 1, but nothing worked. I really could use some help.Īny ideas as to the cause of the slowdown/stuttering at those two locations, and how to solve it? Here are my PC's specs…ģ069 MB Virtual Memory (Since I know Gothic 1 uses a lot of this!) My stepfather has a copy of Gothic Collection that he paid $39.99 for at and he too is having this problem with the game, the slowdown and freezing when using the Playerkit. He paid the pounds equivalent of $9.99 for the game in the budget section of an electronics store in London, for Heaven's sake! So it is certainly a legal copy of Gothic 1. I tried to post for help at World of Gothic and some idiot acted like my copy of the game was pirated and told me to buy the game AGAIN! I said: HELLO! I have the box, the manual, the discs, and even the receipt my cousin gave me. However, installing that not only did nothing to remove the stutter and slowdown in those two locations… but the Playerkit also makes the game freeze whenever I climb the ladder in the Fog Tower during the Chromanin quest. Over at World of Gothic I inquired about it and they told me to try the FPS remover which requires the 1.8k Playerkit. Here's the trouble: the game's FPS is stuck as 25 but when I enter the nest in the Old Mines and the huge idol chamber in the Sleeper Temple the FPS goes down to 10 or less! Thus making the game unplayable in those locations. It's the English version and had to be patched to 1.8k from 1.8j.

It was hurt badly and very urgently needed its medicine, which it lost, whilte running here. Then, at the far end of the mine I met an Orc Slave named Tarrok. Also, I killed all the minecrawlers I encountered and took the plates from them, which wolf asked. Me and Gorn killed them all and freed the free mine. In the Free Mine, there were nearly 20 to 30 guards. I killed them and went into the New Mine. There, Jackal and other few guards were guarding the entrance to the free mine. In the free mine, I took the best two-handed sword, "Warrior's Voice", from Okyl's body. ![]() He also taught me how to cut those hard plates from the minecrawlers. To create one, he wanted me to get some hard minecrawler plates, which is the hardest material in the valley. He told me about a completely new type of armor made of minecrawler's plates. I went back to the new camp and met wolf there. But, before going there, Gorn told me to go and meet Wolf in the new camp. He told me that we must do a Stealth mission and capture the Free Mine. He is waiting for me on the way to Free Mine with some other Mercenaries. ![]() There Riordian welcomed me and told me that Gorn was waiting for me and also he has a plan to recapture the free mine. ![]() If Outlook automatically discovers your workspace email account, enter your password and select Connect before proceeding to step 11.

If cabbage root fly is a problem (see photo left) use protective discs around the base of the plants so the flies can't lay their eggs - purchase them from garden centers or make your own from roofing felt, old carpet or underlay. remember these cabbages are growing through the winter. Don't apply it when growing cabbage like spring cabbages though, as this variety needs to be grown slowly in a sheltered spot. Don't dig up those pea and bean roots as they contain lots of usefull nitrogen that plants require.Ībout a week before planting apply a general fertiliser like Growmore.

Pick a reasonably sunny spot for the site where you are growing cabbages.

Cassette never actually died as a format, although it hasn’t enjoyed the renaissance that vinyl has. The common access to recorders, dual decks that made copying tapes easier, and all types of media helped keep cassettes ubiquitous.Ĭassettes reigned as the media of choice until the early '90s, when CD became accessible to most consumers. Portability has always been a keystone of cassette use, and brands like Walkmen became synonymous with the format. Their flexibility and relatively low cost made copying, combining, and sharing music easier than ever. New releases on 8-track can still be found, although the medium has become niche.Īs compact cassettes caught up in quality in the early 70s, they became the standard audio format. They were more popular than compact cassettes through the late 60s, partially due to their inclusion in some factory automotive stereo systems. In the mid '60s, blank and pre-recorded cassettes came to market.Īround the same time, early versions of 8-track tape cartridges were released, composed of a single reel of magnetic tape. In the late '50s, the RCA Victor produced the first tape cartridge, but magnetic tape-based cassettes were not popular until Phillips developed a version using narrower tape in a smaller form factor, known as Compact Cassette. Current albums and reissues both go for hundreds of dollars. The entry level, even for new releases on ¼-inch tape, is steep. Although the format is mostly obsolete, partially because loading and storing media is less than convenient, the resale market for vintage units is healthy, and some boutique companies offer brand new R2R players. Reel to Reel Tape PlayersĪround the 1960s, audiophiles began adding reel to reel players to their home systems. Keep in mind that vintage machines will require regular maintenance. Some examples of open-reel tape recorders that can be found at reasonable prices include the Akai models and the Sony TC line. And the earliest samples were created by building tape loops. Many effects heard on classic albums, such as those by The Beatles and Slowdive, were created by physically manipulating tape. The image of a reel to reel recorder has become synonymous with the studio: two large metal circles rotating near the top corners of a large rectangle.Īlthough never really popular with consumers, collectors and producers still value these devices for their warmth, flexibility, and nostalgia. Engineers capture sound on analog tape using reel to reel recorders. ![]() Reel to Reel Recordersįor decades, tape was the standard medium for recording anything.
