Next, mix the oil and bud together in your pan or slow-cooker until the bud is totally submerged in oil. The ratio of oil to cannabis you’ll want to use will depend on the recipe you’re following. If you don’t have a recipe, 3 parts oil to 1 part cannabis will work fine. However, you can go as high as 16 to 1 (as in 16 ounces oil to 1-ounce cannabis). If you’re using the metric system, 1 ounce is approximately 30 milliliters.
BUT…that said, you must be EXTREMELY cautious when it comes to THC and pets, especially dogs as dogs have more cannabinoid receptors in their brains than any other species! Likewise, it is very easy for them to get too much. In most cases they will sleep it off and be fine but it is scary for the owner to watch and uncomfortable for the pet if they get too much. Overdose is characterized by a condition known as Static Ataxia, which is characterized by a wide-legged stance, drooling, disorientation, and the animal being hypersensitive to touch (if you pet dog who has had too much, it will react almost like an electrical shock). They are likely to have quick shallow breathing too. It can take hours to wear off and it is scary to watch.
As the dough cooks, gather all of the ingredients that you plan to use as the toppings. Press together the minced garlic and the kosher salt to form a thick paste. Add the garlic paste to the melted butter and mix to combine everything. Once the dough is done, remove it from the oven and brush it’s entire surface with the garlic butter mixture. Be sure to coat the dough all the way to the edges. Sprinkle the pizza evenly with the cheeses, in whichever order you choose, and add other toppings if you would like. Bake the pizza until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted. This will take about ten minutes but may vary depending on ovens. Allow to cool before slicing! Serve with sauce for dipping! Enjoy!
Now that we’ve gone over cannabis-infused oils, let’s dive into their similarly monikered cousin: cannabis oil. Similar to olive, vegetable, or coconut oil, cannabis oil is made through a chemical extraction process. There are a variety of methods that the marijuana industry uses to extract oil, resulting in similar but unique products. Most cannabis extraction methods involve a solvent, like butane or CO2—or extreme heat and pressure—to extract the cannabinoids. These processes can be time-consuming and usually involve expensive laboratory equipment. Without proper training and the right tools, extracting THC from weed using certain methods is downright dangerous. Unless you’re using a solventless method, the excess yield—or product that isn’t cannabis oil—needs to be removed in order for a clean, non-toxic final result. For those of us who aren’t chemistry experts, most methods of this process should be left to the professionals.
A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America and current contributor to The Denver Post and Cannabis Now, Laurie Wolf is the founder of Laurie & Mary Jane — a website that sells products made with medical marijuana. According to Publishers Marketplace, she is currently putting together a cookbook titled My Cannabis Kitchen: Recipes for Modern Marijuana Cuisine that will include a guide to edibles made from medical marijuana. Published by Quarry Books, the cookbook does not yet have a release date.
Studies show cannabidiol (CBD) has tremendous medical potential, especially in the treatment of seizure disorders and pediatric patients. Indications also suggest CBD lowers blood sugar, which makes it desirable for treating diabetes. Its sedative properties make it useful in the treatment of stress-related and sleep disorders. CBDA and CBD are non-psychoactive. Unlike THCA and THC, converting CBDA to CBD will not make a psychoactive product. CBD has a calming effect. This makes it ideal for treating children, the aged or patients that prefer less psychoactive effects. THC vaporizes quicker than CBD, so decarboxylating higher CBD varieties may produce higher CBD-enriched material. However, if you are not using a high CBD strain, extending the heating process may accomplish no more than burning off the THC.

Have all equipment ready because you have to move fast to make candy. Drop your water, corn syrup, and sugar into your saucepan and cook on high until the sugar dissolves. Now drop to medium heat for 15 mins then check with the thermometer until you reach 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Now remove from heat and add your drops of green food coloring, canna oil and peppermint flavoring. Pour your liquid into the pan and let it cool. Once it is semi-hard, use your molds or scissors to cut it into your desired shape. If you have used a half ounce of weed in your oil, cut into 14 or 28 pieces the size of a jolly rancher. Now toss the pieces into the pan buttered with canna butter or oil and get them nice and greasy. Next, take your baking dish and cover it in powdered sugar. Take the greasy candy pieces and roll them in the powdered sugar. Next, insert the lollipop sticks and let your candy harden. Now you have weed lollipops with the appropriate doses. Each lollipop is a bowl of smoked weed. Use this simple recipe and you will impress your friends and have a great way to enjoy the effects of marijuana without smoking, and without having to eat cookies or brownies. Even though it’s sugar, you will tend to take in fewer calories with candies than with baked cookies.
The following day, the candy should have hardened in to a taffy like substance, not too hard but not too soft. If the mixture hasn’t gained the correct consistency, continue to let it sit out until it does. Once the mix has the taffy consistency that we all love, you can cut it in to pieces and wrap them individually in wax or cellophane. Give them out as treats or hoard them all for yourself! Either way, enjoy your awesome taffy candy!
Regrind the unground parts. The unground parts left in your strainer need to be reprocessed. If you have a coffee grinder, send them through a second time. If you are not getting the result you hoped for or if you started with a food processor, move the unground parts to a mortar and pestle. Apply pressure with the mortar and "stir" the unground parts to produce the necessary grinding action.
Stir together the brown sugar, salt, and melted cannabis butter. Mix together well, at which point you should add in the corn syrup. Continue to stir the mix while slowly adding in the milk. Be sure that all ingredients are getting blended together well. Put this mixture in a pot and place on the stove over medium heat. Let this cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The ingredients should have taken on a firm texture, almost like pizza dough. Take the pan off of the stove and add in the vanilla that you have ready. After adding the vanilla, pour the entire mix in to a pan (Be sure to spray it with cooking spray first so nothing gets helplessly stuck). Let the pan cool off and you’re ready to cut your candies in to whatever shape you want. You can wrap them and give them to friends as special little medicated surprises as well!
Because marijuana in food takes longer to metabolize, it will take longer for it to affect you. Expect to feel the effects in about 30 minutes to an hour.[16] Expect the effects to last longer as well compared to smoking. You will not get the same effects due to the differences in how the body absorbs the cannabinoids. Be careful not to overdose by overeating when the effects are not as strong as desired.
If you’ve ever used a tincture and tried to mix it in a drink, you’ve probably noticed it doesn’t mix all that well. Why? Pot isn’t water soluble; it’s oil soluble. So you’ll do best using a high-fat oil, like coconut oil or canola. You can even use olive oil. Keep in mind, however, that canola has a higher boiling/smoking point than coconut and olive oils.
For example, if you are planning to prepare 30 cookies with your full gram of wax that has 65% (650 mg) THC, then you’ll simply divide 650mg by 30, yielding 21.7mg (approx.. 22mg) per each cookie—which is a little higher than what some states allow for sale. This is a high amount for inexperienced users. If you’re not entirely sure, it is a good idea to start on the low end and mix in less, or even half of your concentrate until you arrive at a comfortable euphoria.
I messed up a batch. I’m hoping I can save it. I have a MB2 machine, but I didn’t have enough “stuff” (butter and buds) to get the the minimum fill line on there. So I added water to the minimum fill line. I also added some lecithin. Now I have a watery, sludgey mess. Can I put it in the oven at like 220 and evaporate the water, or is the whole batch jacked?
During Saturday's class, Charley Wheelock, the chocolate maker who taught Sugar High with Hukill, gave students a brief history of chocolate before diving deep into his passion for infused goodies. He initially got some flak from other chocolate makers when he said he wanted to partner with Serra. But pot culture is here for the long-term, and he’s determined that his kitchen be at the forefront of that movement.

Concocting your own pot brownies has long been a haphazard and inexact science for recreational stoners—instructions will vary on the amount of bud and method of infusion, and often DIY cannabis cooks pay no mind to the potency of the strain they're using. And while residents living in states where medical marijuana is legalized can buy a wide-range of dank, delicious edibles from dispensaries, the average pot enthusiast is more likely to dump an ounce of mids into some brownie batter than whip up something digestible if left to his own devices in an amateur cannabis kitchen.

All in all, they’re not so different—but they’re definitely not the same. Cannabis oil can be used to make marijuana butter, but not all marijuana butter is made from cannabis oil. While nearly anyone with cooking experience can make marijuana-infused oil or butter, making cannabis oil should be left to the chemists, and while weed and cannabis oil are mostly readily available in legal states, pre-made marijuana butter can be hard to find—leaving both legal residents and those getting their bud on the black market in the same boat: making it at home.

Marijuana cooking with concentrates, namely kief and hash, opens up a whole new world of recipes that can be converted to cannabis cooking.  A lot of these recipes contain far less fat than ones that depend on butter or oil to carry the medication, an important consideration for those trying to curb calories or limit fats. Of course cannabis metabolizes better with some fat, but when you cook with concentrates, you eliminate the need to add extra oil or butter to achieve a proper dose.
How do you grind your weed? You can use a quality cannabis grinder which you can buy at our store. You can use a food processor or a coffee grinder, although you’d probably want to designate a processor or coffee grinder specifically for that use (unless you don’t mind leaving a little residual flavor, which could be a good thing if you like your morning cup of Joe to taste like Bubba Kush).
One more point I should make. I live in the bush, and only have a wood cookstove to do my baking in. The oven temperature is hard to control, and I realize now that that is an important consideration. So in future, I’ll do my baking in town at my niece’s place, in an electric oven where I can control the temperature better. So if you suggest that I should heat my pot first for 20 min (decarbing, I guess), then can you suggest what temp, and for how long I should bake the little critters? Thanks in advance for your help. A very informative site!
Begin by placing the cannabutter (or regular butter) and the ham in a larger frying pan. Take the eggs that you have ready and crack them in to a mixing bowl, making sure to whisk them together well, so that all of the yolks are broken. Grind up your marijuana very fine (it’s a good idea to use a coffee grinder and to be sure that your weed is incredibly dry) and add it in to your eggs. This is also where you add in your food coloring, making the eggs green in two different ways.
Take the cannabis, lime juice, water, green onion, and the oil and place it in the crock pot. Cook the materials on low for about two hours. Once two hours has gone by, place the apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, honey, ground ginger, cayenne pepper, and the apricot nectar in to the crockpot with the previously cooked mixture. Mix everything together well and cook on low for another hour at least. Be sure to stir the mixture occasionally. Once the sauce is done cooking, store it in an airtight container in the fridge. The recipe will yield about two cups of sauce and is definitely perfect for your backyard barbecues! Enjoy!
 Pour in the cereal making sure to mix it well and to get all the cereal generously coated with the sticky marshmallow mix. Place it inside your pan spreading it out evenly and press down on the mix to help the firming process. leave it to cool while you think about how good it’s going to taste and then cut into whatever fancy shapes you like. If you thought rice kripsy treats were boss before, wait till you experience what the power of canna-butter can do… And thats how to make Rice Crispies with Marijuana!
I am the only person I know of who does not recommend you finely grind your weed. I do not understand whay so many people are obsessed with finely grinding the plant material. What you are trying to extract is ON the plant, not in it. The more grinding, the more plant particulate in your food and the yuckier the flavor, IMO. I use a coarse hand grinder or my fingers to break up the plant material, no more.
Preheat your oven to 350 F and line a non insulated cookie sheet with parchment paper. Take a knife or kitchen shears and CAREFULLY remove the kale leaves from the thicker stems. Cut up the leaves in to small, chip sized pieces. The actual size of the chip is up to you. I made mine about 1 inch by 1 inch. Be sure to wash the leaves thoroughly and dry them. Some people have access to a salad spinner but for those that don’t, I used paper towels and blotted them dry. Lay the kale out on the cookie sheet and slowly pour the cannabis olive oil over the the kale chips and then sprinkles with the sea salt and pepper, as well as any other spices that you’d like to add in. Place the chips in the oven and bake them until the edges begin to turn brown, absolutely no longer than 10 minutes. Let the chips cool off for a bit and your healthy, medicated snack is ready!

Also, remember that you do not have to use just the primo bud. You can also extract cannabinoids from shake, stems, leaves, and trim. Shake is the leftover pieces at the bottom of your bag that frequently contain a mix of several kinds of cannabis. Commercial kitchens, especially in the United States, frequently use mixed bud for their cooking. If you can find it, consider this option. Save the primo stuff for smoking!

Official: Huawei is transitioning to a single-chip platform MediaTek

This was stated by the head of the Honor Zhao Ming
Our assumptions are that in smartphones is Huawei proprietary single-chip system Kirin can appear MediaTek SoC, has been fully confirmed. This was stated today by the head of the Honor brand, and not the last person in the structure of Huawei Zhao Ming (Ming Zhao).

Today, China introduced the Honor smartphone X10 and then held a press conference with the head of the brand Zhao Ming (Ming Zhao). Of course, journalists could not ignore the recent rumor that the smartphone is SoC Huawei Kirin, with the production of which there have been great difficulties because of U.S. sanctions, will be used SoC MediaTek. Zhao Ming answered this question in the affirmative
According to a top Manager, MediaTek is a longtime partner of Honor, its platform was used in many products of the Chinese company: “Our strategy has always been like this. We will also use MediaTek SoC 5G in the future, and MediaTek has always been an excellent partner.”

In General, we can say that the US sanctions, which sets the production of single-chip HiSilicon Kirin platforms at any equipment which makes use of American technology, outside the law, have brought Honor and MediaTek cooperation to a new level. But Honor is just the beginning. As many smartphones of the brand are actually clones of models of Huawei, the Huawei smartphone will have a MediaTek SoC.

ALSO READ:  Russia tested the latest 500-kilowatt electric motor

Platform MediaTek and so are used in some budget models of Honor, Play like 9A, but now we are talking about the transfer and mid-range MediaTek SoC, because while 5G is only the top SoC manufacturer – Dimensity 1000L, 1000, 1000 Plus and Density 820. And this is a completely different level of cooperation and volumes. According to preliminary estimates, released and paid orders for the SoC Kirin Huawei and Honor will last until the end of the year, so the first smartphones and the Huawei Honor mid-level (or even slightly higher) on SoC MediaTek logical to wait for fall.

Literature and Transnational Citizenship

‘Literature and Transnational Citizenship’ is the title of a year-long series of graduate workshops and events that marks the beginning of the new partnership between Oxford and the Berlin universities. The study of how texts and ideas circulate across and beyond national borders is one of the most pressing issues within literary studies today. Stefano Evangelista (Oxford) and Gesa Stedman (Berlin) have put together a team of fourteen doctoral students and postdocs from Oxford and Berlin’s Humboldt and Freie universities, whose interest in this topic comes from within different historical and disciplinary perspectives. The group comprises, among others, experts in English and French early modern writing, Russian émigré literature, German modernism, war poetry and contemporary Argentine novels. The workshops create a forum where participants can share their expertise and, at the same time, discuss different theories and approaches that can help us understand how literature challenges the categories of citizenship and national identity. An important aim of the project is to provide graduates and early-career researchers with an opportunity to gain experience in how to communicate their research effectively and creatively to a wider public.

The first workshop took place at the Centre for British Studies, Berlin, in October 2018. It included several presentations, a seminar session on theories of transnationalism and a workshop on research-driven public engagement led by Victoria McGuinness. “There was a definite buzz in the room from the first moment.  Theories and research projects were very quickly translated into innovative formats and ideas on how to captivate diverse audiences. We cannot wait to continue our discussions with the doctoral students at the next meetings”, says co-leader Gesa Stedman from the Centre for British Studies. The next workshop is a planned to take place at TORCH, in Oxford, on 11 and 12 April 2019. In the intervening months the participants will hold several virtual meetings by Skype. The year-long initiative will culminate in a public exhibition in Berlin as part of the Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften, on 15 June 2019.

The Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften is a yearly, high-profile public engagement event in which the city’s research institutions open their doors to the public for an entire night, showcasing innovative aspects of their work. The Oxford-Berlin group will design their own joint exhibition and host a series of talks, roundtables, and other activities for a wide variety of audiences.

Posts From the monthly archives: "February 2018"

Even a monkey can paint.

Just one of many naïve and derogatory slights I’ve endured over many years serving as a red seal certified journeyman painter. This one uttered from the carpenter on my job, who, professes to do it all…except paint. The truth is, the path to a successful paint job in terms of adhesion, aesthetics, wearability, and cost, is a complete mystery to most non- painter types, and the people I hear these things from usually couldn’t tell the difference between a good paint job and a bad one.

Ultimately, the true “cost to the homeowner” of any given house painting project is the culmination of those 4 things . If Joe pays 20% less than Stan for his side of the duplex but Stan’s looks better and lasts 10 years longer, who pays more?

Be ready for your quote and look for these things:

  • Proper surface preparation- Be sure that dirt, grease and foreign matter is being removed prior to painting. Most surfaces should be sanded.
  • Proper priming- Not all surfaces require priming but when they do this a step not to be skipped.
  • Familiarize yourself with the materials that are being offered with your quote. Some quotes include cheap or inadequate materials including primers and finishes that wont last.
  • You can help keep cost down by planning ahead and knowing EVERYTHING you want to have painted BEFORE your painter starts. This will allow him to work in the most efficient manner. It is SO common to have extra things thrown in all along the course of your painting project, often in the wrong natural order for finishing.

For example: Jane wants to save money on her paint job so she decides to skip painting the ceilings. After the walls look clean and fresh suddenly the ceilings look dingier than before. She decides now that the ceilings should be painted.

Its also good to know if you have oil- based paint on any of the surfaces. Oil- based paints have only been banned for most residential purposes for a decade or so but was widely used for its scrubbable overall durability well into the new millennium. It is most commonly found on trim, doors and in kitchens and bathrooms where exceptional moisture resistance or abrasion resistance is desired. Oil- based finishes often feel smoother and harder than acrylics and most acrylic latexes will not bond well with alkyds or other oils. Some latex products will adhere to well sanded oil- based products, but its always better to prime first for maximum adhesion. Rub some rubbing alcohol on an inconspicuous area. If it comes off with relative ease it is latex.

The obvious danger here is the possibility of paying someone to essentially make your paint-job worse. It happens every day and its a costly nuisance to correct properly so you could end up paying twice. With your careful advanced planning you can easily prevent minor disasters caused by inexperienced or under-priced quotes or if you hire the wrong monkey!

Speed dating events on long island

by  |  25-Feb-2020 18:57

There have been a number of dating shows aired on television over the years, using a variety of formats and rules.

They are presented for the entertainment of the viewers.

speed dating events on long island-43

We sincerely wish you the most wonderful, loving experience on our site!

Spiritual Singles has provided the online spiritual dating venue for hundreds of singles to find their soul mates, life partners and twin flames for more than a decade.

Human matchmaking is involved only in selecting the game's contestants, who are usually selected more for the amusement value than any concern for their happiness or compatibility.

Soft ride for hard roads

Us Kiwis love the outdoors. But let’s face it, sometimes the best places can only be reached by the worst roads. From rutted highways to rough metal tracks and bumpy farm races, Kiwis take their trailers everywhere. And whether there’s precious cargo like livestock or beehives on board, or a furniture trailer carrying fragile loads riding behind, the softness of the ride is critical.

That’s why Trailparts has introduced the award-winning Timbren trailer suspension. Timbren uses tough-walled Aeon(™) rubber springs that deliver air-bag-like ride quality without the complexity of electrics and compressors. Plus they reduce failure of other components from shock loading when running empty.

Quiet and smooth towing whether full or empty

With Timbren trailer suspension, empty trailer squawking, clanking and banging sounds are silenced. When laden, precise rebound control enhances stability. Rough and uneven towing becomes a thing of the past. Timbren rubber suspensions deliver extraordinary ride quality and reliability that other rubber torsion and spring suspensions simply cannot.

Go axle-less for maximum clearance with low decks

Timbren’s axle-less independent suspension offers the freedom to go places without the usual clearance restrictions of a traditional beam axle - a big advantage for off road users. Or increase safety at highway speeds by lowering the trailer centre of gravity, positioning the trailer deck as low as you need it to be between the chassis.

Silent-Ride equalising suspension for ultimate off-road capability

When conditions are out of the ordinary, an extraordinary solution is required. Timbren’s fully equalising tandem suspension is the best you can specify for harsh road conditions. The rugged design means they can endure the roughest terrain without ever compromising on ride quality.

Affordable soft-riding suspension

Silent-Ride non-equalising suspensions offer all the benefits of the Aeon(™) rubber springs, but at a cost that is comparable with torsion rubber suspensions. Say goodbye to trailer suspensions that are either too stiff when empty, or too soggy when laden, with this affordable and easy-to-fit option.

Timbren suspension features:

•  Progressive jounce spring

•  Rebound spring for constant tension

•  Easy bolt-on installation

•  Urethane bushings for long life and quiet operation

•  Limited lifetime warranty

Timbren trailer suspension: only from Trailparts

Trailparts is the only supplier in New Zealand to offer the unique advantages of Timbren trailer suspension. Find out how your business could benefit from specifying innovative Timbren suspension - get in touch with us today or order now.

Nice place for surfers and fishermen.

Great stay for people on a budget but with little confort. It is a old place that needs a few fixes but the personnAL of the hotel is the best. Especially Danise was amazing with booking activities for us at the cheapest prices. We even did an excursion in Nicaragua awesome !!

Bringing your vacation home

photo 5

Ok, so you’ve planned a fabulous vacation and you’re psyched to create some amazing memories after the fact. Here are some tips that I have learned through my travel adventures to bring the memories home.

  1. Invest in a good camera. Why you ask? I’ll explain through a recent aha moment that I’ve experienced. Last year I had an amazing opportunity to go to my #1 dream destination of Ireland so I decided to invest in a Canon IOS 7D camera. I took some amazing pictures that more than supported the cost of the camera. But now what? Well,… The first thing that I did was to make a book through the standard IPhoto application on my Mac which turned out incredible and sent a copy to my friend that traveled with me as a memorable birthday gift. The second thing I did was to blow up my favorite pictures to use as as artwork throughout my house. I did a significant amount of research; reading reviews, looking at pricing and shipping charges, etc. and decided on Nations Photo Lab. The enlarged photos were received in about a week with the largest being a 3’x4′ enlargement that will go above my couch after I frame it. It turned out, well… I was speechless (in a good way) about how well it turned out. I’ve even had friends ask for copies. The third thing we’ve done with photos is to stream them to our apple TV when we have parties. This is a great way to share photos without being that person, or couple, that traps people in a room while endlessly going through photos. You know… Like that person who traps people at a party and endlessly talks about their cats. You know what I’m talking about. This way people who are interested can look at pictures and it ends up being a great talking point.
  2. Create a book. As I mentioned above, this can be a great way to capture and share your experiences and it is relatively inexpensive and easy to do. While I used the application that came with my mac, there are endless applications and photography websites that allow you to do the same thing with the cost usually ending up around $20. The book is a great way to share experiences at work, at home or through a unique present.
  3. Enlarge pictures for artwork around your home. Again, invest in a good camera so that you can blow up the pictures and the artwork alone will pay for the camera after a couple of great pictures.

  4. Budget for some artwork or souvenirs that will add value to you’re memories for years to come. I invested in some masks of the Greeks gods and a handcrafted copper plate while In Greece, some pottery in Italy and wooden dishware in Hawaii. Lets face it, we all have stuff for our homes that look good, but don’t have much meaning. By investing in items that draw you in on vacation, you can create memories for years to come. Not only will you relive your memories when you see them, friends and family will ask about your unique furnishings that will provide ample opportunities to reflect on your experiences.

    Cufflinks from Sweden, Key West, Murano Italy and Saint Petersburg Russia

  5. Look for items that you would wear on a normal basis back home and invest on them while on vacation. You’ll save a ton of money as they are a lot cheaper where they are made and they quickly become talking points when people notice them. I often wear cufflinks and I cannot tell you how often people comment on these, often leading to stories about travels and new connections that otherwise would likely have not come up. While my objects of choice are cufflinks, the same could work for other jewelry, shoes, hats or just about anything that you appreciate. If you are worried about how to get these items home, most stores will ship for you, even overseas. If not, it is usually pretty easy to find a Fed Ex or other global shipping company. I would recommend paying a little extra and having the items insured. While we have never had any damage to items shipped, it does provide peace of mind while you are waiting for the items to be delivered after you get home. If you are unsure if it is worth the investment, take a photo of the item and take a business card from the store. If you find that you are regretting not getting the item, you can always e-mail the store with a picture of the item to arrange a way to purchase and ship it.
  6. Bring home a cookbook from the area or region that you visited. One of the best parts about traveling to new places is trying new foods. While in the moment, it is easy to be awed by new flavors which we quickly forget once we get home. Cookbooks are a very easy and inexpensive way to relive and recreate some of those memories. For example, say you just returned from Scandinavia and loved the meatballs and loganberry jam, smorsbord and many other foods that you tried. Flip through the cookbook that you brought home and plan a scandinavian dinner party. If guests want to bring something to contribute, ask them to bring a drink or cocktail that is from the region. They’ll have fun getting creative and learning about what’s popular in other regions and cocktails are taken care of.

    Sink vessel we purchased in New Orleans after Katrina

  7. Incorporate items into your home.  We were visiting New Orleans shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit and found a sink vessel at the farmers market that we fell in love with.  So what did we do?  We bought it and brought it home as carry on luggage and ended up designing a complete bathroom remodel with this vessel as the centerpiece.  Every time someone uses the guest bathroom, they always comment on this piece and it’s a very unique and cool way to relive this adventure.
  8. For the more adventures travelers out there, body art can be a great way to keep the memories alive while telling a story. I have been collecting images for years that will eventually be incorporated into a living tattoo that will tell the stories of my adventures. Once I get this started, I share the compiled images!

Just because you are home, doesn’t mean that the adventure has to end. As always, thanks for reading and please share any comments or thoughts that you feel can help to contribute. If you appreciate this blog, please share via social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc)

Life is short, make it an adventure!

The Big Island, Hawaii… Volcanoes, Beaches, Hiking, Coffee… And a great frick’n tan!

The Big Island, Hawaii… Volcanoes, Beaches, Hiking, Coffee… And a great frick’n tan!

Volcanic coastline – Southern coast of the Big Island

Aloha!    Before I start, I feel like I should confess that I actually avoided Hawaii for years.  I thought, how can a place that is so hyped up actually live up to the expectations?  Besides, every time I looked up Hawaii online, the tourist areas looked so congested.  I pictured shoulder to shoulder people pushing their way through to their limited spot on the beach.  I have to admit that I could not have been happier to be so wrong!

In 2011, I came across a deal through for a package deal to Oahu, Hawaii that was just too good to be true and I immediately fell in love with both the Island and the spirit of Hawaii.  So when it came time to book our Christmas vacation, an annual tradition to escape the madness that the Holidays always bring out, it was easy to give the Big Island of Hawaii a look.  We decided to fly out 1st thing in the morning on December 24th.  That’s right, we flew on Christmas Eve.  Much to my surprise, the plane was not even full and I had a full row to myself.  What a great way to start a vacation!

After quite a bit of research, we booked the Hapuna Prince Beach Hotel,  which was only about an hours drive north of the Kona airport on Queen Ka’Ahumanu Highway on the Kohala Coast. This is a hotel that I would book again without hesitation. The Hotel had the best buffet that I have ever had, and I am usually not a fan of buffet eating, but I do love good yet healthy food.  The location was ideal as it is one of the sunniest spots on the entire Big Island and let’s face it, the Big Island is small enough to go anywhere for a day trip, so isn’t it worth it to come back to one of the sunniest and most beautiful beach locations on the Island?  I thought so.  It is also the perfect place to go whale watching and snorkeling. We booked an excursion through the concierge at the Hapuna Prince beach hotel and not only did we get up close and personal with several whales, but we had fantastic sea turtle sightings and went snorkeling along a beautiful black sand beach.

OK, so speaking of day trips, plan ahead and make reservations if you plan to rent a vehicle as supplies are limited.  While a convertible may sound sexy, I suggest going with a 4×4 Jeep on this Island.  Keep in mind, that is is primarily a volcanic island and if you want to get off of the main road, and you will, you’ll really need a Jeep.  And think of it this way, when that sexy convertible is stranded alongside the road, you’ll be actually soaking up the sun on some deserted beach or getting a workout from a nice hike.  So I guess the Jeep really is the sexy choice here, eh?

Hiking the lava fields at Volcanoes National Park

Hiking the lava fields at Volcanoes National Park. My inner geek, which I am proud of, felt like we were hiking through Mordor!

The Big Island of Hawaii is deceiving since it is a volcanic island made up primarily from lava flow formations.  And this is something that you will see a lot of and the one thing that does get “old” after a while unless you make the most of it or get off the main highway.  To make the most of it, I suggest taking a day trip and hiking Volcanos National Park on the SouthEast side of the island.  Plan to go early as you do not want to get stuck out in the lava fields after dark, especially if you do not have a flashlight.  Which may have happened to us, but man was it fun!  Even if I did wreck a branch new pair of shoes.  On the way back, if driving along the southern coast, plan to hike out to the green sand beach.  It’s a bit of a hike and you’ll need a Jeep or similar vehicle to get close, but it is worth it.

For a stark contrast, take a drive up the Lush North Kohala Coast, and you will not be disappointed.  While on your drive, look for Kohala Burger and Taco in the small Kawaohae Shopping center.  I had one of the best seafood civeche’s here (it was a daily special and I do not believe that it is on the regular menu) and amazing fish fajita’s!!!  You’ll find lush and breathtaking views, great hiking with State Parkland, cute little towns with unique shoppes and a lot of local artisan works for sale.  We found a great set of wooden dishes and bowls made of a local Hawaiian hardwood at a little shop in Hawi.  The store owner even shipped them to us so that we wouldn’t have to worry about how to get them home.  Once you’ve reached Hawi, you are almost to the end of the road in which you’ll find the Pololu Vally, with an incredible view and some nice hiking.

At the Waipio Valley Lookout – Big Island, Hawaii

Slightly to the west of this area is Hamakua Coast and an easy drive is the Waipio Valley Lookout.  This is one of many great sites for some great pictures in addition to good hiking trails.  There are several beautiful waterfalls in this region, several of which are viewable from this lookout point.

Should you keep going east, you’ll eventually make it to Hilo, which is where a lot of folks fly into and out of the Big Island.  This is also the only area on the island where we wished we had bug spray. This is the rainforest side of the island and is lush and full of life, but very wet and can have a lot of mosquitoes.  We decided to spend our time in this area very randomly and we just simply explored.  As a result, we ended up driving down a valley to the ocean and came across a local gathering of families.  Some were preparing food and cooking out, while others were surfing, or attempting to surf.  It was awesome to see people who lived there, truly living there!  While in Hilo, save up your appetite for the Hilo Burger Joint.  Seriously!  While I have my list of upper end restaurants that I love, some of the best food I have ever found has been street food, or small places like this one. I think I had the best burger of my life here.  They also have vegetarian options, so there is no excuse not to go!

And last but not least, if you are going to the Big Island, plan to spend a day in Kona.  After all, this is the only place in the world that Kona coffee comes from and there are plenty of coffee plantations that hold daily tours.  We took the tour at Greenwell Farms which was really cool to see the process close up and actually see the coffee bushes at different stages.  Plus the property was filled with avocado and multiple fruit trees.  It was hard not to daydream about buying a lot and moving to Hawaii while on the plantation tour.  Hmmm.. Someday???

Tim’s Recommended activities

  1. Hike to the green sand beach, locally referred to as Papalokea Beach
  2. Take a whale watching and snorkeling cruise
  3.  Hike the lava field at Volcanoes National Park
  4. Drive up to the Northern Coast for some amazing views and hiking at Pololu Vally and then head to Waipio Valley
  5. Soak up the sun at the beautiful Hapuna Beach
  6. Drive to Hilo
  7. Spend a day in Kona and take a coffee plantation tour

  1. Kohala Burger and Taco
  2. The buffet at Hapuna Beach Hotel

As always, thank you for reading and please feel free to share if you found this helpful or if it made you daydream about moving to Hawaii as well.

Life is way too short, make it an adventure…

Ireland: “Take the world nice and easy and the world will take you the same”

Seascape in the Connemara region

“Take the world nice and easy and the world will take you the same”. I saw this on a sign in Dublin and it has stuck with me ever since.  That’s just one of the many beauties of Ireland…. It becomes a part of you.

For as long as I can remember, I have always dreamed of going to Ireland.  I have always been captivated by the people, the lore, the music and of course… I kinda love Guinness.  So in 2011 when a friend of mine said that he always dreamed of going to Ireland since his family was originally from there, the trip was set in short order.  We arrived in Dublin in July, 2011 and immediately started a memorable adventure.

We stayed at the Brooks hotel which was a really nice hotel and perfectly located to explore with its close proximity to the trendy and fun Temple Bar area which has great nightlife, Grafton Street for shopping, Dublin Castle and St. Stephan’s green.

Our first stop was the Guinness Factory at St. James Gate which was a nice walk from our hotel.  If you like Guinness, this is worth the stop.  We took the tour which finished off at the very top of the factory in the Guinness pub with a 360 degree view of Dublin.  Although I have to admit, several people looked like they were going to loose their Guinness as it’s completely enclosed by glass and pretty high up.  Ohhh, good times!

The next day we visited Trinity College to see the Book of Kells exhibit which was incredible.  Almost equally breathtaking was walking through the library, which sounds odd, but it was like walking through a movie set where the library shelves are several stories high dark hardwood filled with century old books.  We filled our first couple of days with these sites, some shopping and several pints of local brews.  We quickly became fans of O’Neill’s Pub as they had a great selection on tap and great live traditional music.  It was very easy to melt into the woodwork and simply enjoy the sights and sounds.

Dublin is a great city to simply explore, grab a pint, people watch, catch some live music or do a little shopping.  There are great restaurants and pubs everywhere and the Temple Bar area is full of funky shoppes.  You can easily spend a couple of days full of doing very little, but having a fantastic time doing it.

Pub in Cavan with a group of young musicians

One our third day we decided to drive up to Cavan County to do some research on my friends family.  It just so happened that Cavan was hosting the world largest Irish Folk Music festival as we pulled into town.  This was incredible, with fantastic music flowing out of just about every door that we walked by.  We ended up spending a good deal of time in the pubs listening to music.  The most surprising thing was that most of this music was played by school aged children that had more talent than I have in my little finger.  I also quickly learned that the pubs in Ireland are often family and community gathering places.  Big difference from the States, eh?

Previously, the world’s largest telescope on the grounds of Birr Castle

From there we decided to drive towards Galway on the Western side of the Island. With no real itinerary, we decided to get off the main roads and randomly explore. We came across Birr Castle which housed the world’s largest telescope for 75 years, built in 1845. We spent a good chunk of time exploring the grounds before continuing our journey where we came across Clonmacnoise Castle and ultimately ended up in Galway.

Beautiful, energy filled Galway

MMMMM! Oysters and Murphy’s stout at a local pub

Galway was probably my favorite city for many reasons. At 7:00 in the morning, sitting at a coffee shop in the square, live music was already being played. All the pubs served incredible seafood and there was just an incredible energy everywhere that we went. Galway is also a great location to venture off to the Connemara region, which is drastic in its topography. Some areas look like what I would imaging a moonscape to look like, while others are lush and full of life. We spent a day driving through Connemara where we came across Aughnanure Castle and then the magnificent Kylemore Abby and Victorian walled gardens.

Ghostly and beautiful prairiescape in Connemara

The drive back to Galway was mostly coastal and full of suicidal sheep…EVERYWHERE!  I will forevermore associate Ireland with sheep, vast untouched areas of raw and rugged beauty,and a simpleness that I have yearned to go back to.

From Galway, we decided to head south to Killarney and stopped along the way at the Cliffs of Moher.  For the most part the weather was beautiful and in the 60’s until we reach the cliffs where the temperature dropped to the 40’s with a pelting rain.  It was still absolutely beautiful!  A good rule to follow about dressing for the weather in Ireland, dress in layers.

Cliffs of Moher

Upon reaching Killarney, we settled in at the Lake Hotel which reminded me of an old world hunting manor.  The rooms all have a lake view and there is woodwork and old world character throughout.  The restaurant was also one of the best we experienced in Ireland.  We spent most of our time in this region hiking as the Lake Hotel borders a National Forest in which we hiked through a rhododendron forest at least 20 feet high on our way to Tok Waterfall.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  Our last day in this region, we decided to drive around the Ring of Kerry.  A friend advised that most tours go counterclockwise, therefor we went clockwise to avoid the traffic which was a very smart idea.  Well, except for the occasional freakout where a huge tour bus was heading straight for us and the road was only wide enough for one vehicle.  Ehhh, we dealt with it…  One of us may have been screaming.  After all the hiking and screaming from the near death driving experiences, we decided to end our time in Killarney with a guys spa night at the Europe Hotel and Spa.  This was the BEST spa experience I have ever had.  Period.  Prior to the massages, they had us spend an hour or two in the men’s spa equipped with a salt water inifinity pool, steam room, sauna and a shaved ice machine to cool down. We probably hiked a good 20 miles so I feel pretty comfortable stating…Real men do spas!

The beginning of our drive around the Ring of Kerry

Small coastal village in the Ring of Kerry

From this point we are heading back up to Dublin, with a stop in Killkenny where we stopped to see the Rock of Cashel.  Which, by the way, is not a rock but an old castle with ravens nesting in the walls.  It was a bit eerie and cool at the same time as the property also housed a very large graveyard with ornate gravestones.  Not only was it fun to explore the castle but we also hiked the grounds and came across some other old buildings and gravestones… And sheep.  Always sheep.

While we  were in Kilkenney, we noticed a lot of people taking pictures around us.  It was just odd at first and then it became aggressive.  After exploring the town we were sitting in the hotel lobby having afternoon tea.  Um, yeah… we had afternoon tea, which was actually pretty good and a calming way to plan the rest of the afternoon and that night’s activities.  Anyway, there we were, minding our own business and a younger middle aged woman comes running up to me with a camera, squatted about 5 feet from me and started taking close up pictures.  Come to find out that there was a huge rugby tournament in town and I apparently am a dead ringer for one of Irelands top rugby stars.  So not only did we have an amazing vacation, but I left feeling like a star…If only for a day.

Well, I could go on and on, but this is a long enough post for now.  I hope you enjoy.  I cannot wait to go back and I hope that you find your way to the Emerald Isle someday as well.

Rock of Cashel

Sheep. Good bye!

#AMonthOfFaves: Favorite Book To Movie or TV Show

Today is about a favorite book to movie or TV show.

Join hosts  GirlxoxoTraveling with T and Estella’s Revenge for our 4th annual #AMonthofFaves blog event – a fun way to recap the year that was. We have every day of the event (Monday, Wednesday and Friday) planned out for you, so you can join in anytime. There will also be a link-up on all our blogs – put a link to your post so  that we can stop by each and every post to leave comments, high fives, good vibes and well wishes. Here’s what we’ll be blogging about.

Today’s prompt: Wed. | Dec 13Favorite Book to Movie or TV Shows #AMonthofFaves – what were your favorites (and / or least favorites); did you both watch the movie and read the book; which was better?

So…. I don’t really watch much (new) TV. All the shows I liked got cancelled or I grew weary with (looking at you Scandal and How To Get Away With Murder) and even though I did like This Is Us at first ( I got tired of the dragging out of how Jack died and how the internet was all a-buzz and the magazines that would write click-bait titles of interviews with the stars only for you to read them and know they knew no more than you did about THE big secrets. )

I’m still a huge fan of Law and Order re-runs. I sometimes watch The Blacklist. Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy are my game shows.

The shows I find myself watching: Designing Women (love those Southern women!) The Golden Girls (especially the one where they go on a murder mystery weekend!) ER, and sometimes The Nanny in the morning while I’m eating breakfast.

The Book To Movie I wanted to watch (and just haven’t yet) is Murder on the Orient Express.

Link-up here:

*What book to movie or TV shows are you LOVING this year?*

Happy Reading and Bookishly Yours,

T @ Traveling With T

Manifesto for an Independent Revolutionary Art. 1938.

Written in 1938, during André Breton’s trip to Mexico, where he visited Leon Trotsky. It is signed by André Breton and Diego Rivera.

It is believed that the Manifesto was written by Trotsky and André Breton, although it was signed by Rivera and Breton. The trip to Mexico provided the opportunity for Breton to meet Leon Trotsky. Breton and his friends traveled via a long boat ride from Patzcuaro to the town of Erongaricuaro. Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo were among the visitors to the hidden community of intellectuals and artists. Together, Breton and Trotsky wrote the manifesto Pour un art révolutionnaire indépendent,  calling for the “complete freedom of art.” This freedom was becoming increasingly difficult with the world situation in 1938, with the rise of Hitler and Stalin. They also state that “true art is unable not to be revolutionary, not to aspire to a complete and radical reconstruction of society.

We can say without exaggeration that never has civilization been menaced so seriously as today. The Vandals, with instruments which were barbarous and comparatively ineffective, blotted out the culture of antiquity in one corner of Europe. But today we see world civilization, united in its historic destiny, reeling under the blows of reactionary forces armed with the entire arsenal of modern technology. We are by no means thinking only of the world war that draws near. Even in times of ‘peace’ the position of art and science has become absolutely intolerable.

In so far as it originates with an individual, in so far as it brings into play subjective talents to create something which brings about an objective enriching of culture, any philosophical, sociological, scientific or artistic discovery seems to be the fruit of a precious chance; that is to say, the manifestation, more or less spontaneous, of necessity. Such creations cannot be slighted, whether from the standpoint of general knowledge (which interprets the existing world) or of revolutionary knowledge (which, the better to change the world, requires an exact analysis of the laws which govern its movement). Specifically, we cannot remain indifferent to the intellectual conditions under which creative activity takes place; nor should we fail to pay all respect to those particular laws which govern intellectual creation.

In the contemporary world, we must recognize the ever more widespread destruction of those conditions under which intellectual creation is possible. From this follows of necessity an increasingly manifest degradation not only of the work of art but also of the specifically ‘artistic’ personality. The regime of Hitler, now that it has rid Germany of all those artists whose work expressed the slightest sympathy for liberty, however superficial, has reduced those who still consent to take up pen or brush to the status of domestic servants of the regime, whose task it is to glorify it on order, according to the worst possible aesthetic conventions. If reports may be believed, it is the same in the Soviet Union, where a Thermidorian reaction is now reaching its climax.

It goes without saying that we do not identify ourselves with the currently fashionable catchword, ‘Neither fascism nor communism!’ – a shibboleth which suits the temperament of the philistine, conservative and frightened, clinging to the tattered remnants of the ‘democratic’ past. True art, which is not content to play variations on ready-made models but rather insists on expressing the inner needs of man and of mankind in its time – true art is unable not to be revolutionary, not to aspire to a complete and radical reconstruction of society. This it must do, were it only to deliver intellectual creation from the chains which bind it, and to allow all mankind to raise itself to those heights which only isolated geniuses have achieved in the past. We recognize that only the social revolution can sweep clean the path for a new culture. If, however, we reject all solidarity with the bureaucracy now in control of the Soviet Union, it is precisely because, in our eyes, it represents not communism but its most treacherous and dangerous enemy.

The totalitarian regime of the USSR, working through the so-called cultural organizations it controls in other countries, has spread over the entire world a deep twilight hostile to every sort of spiritual value; a twilight of filth and blood in which, disguised as intellectuals and artists, those men steep themselves who have made of servility a career, of lying-for-pay a custom, and of the palliation of crime a source of pleasure. The official art of Stalinism, with a blatancy unexampled in history, mirrors their efforts to put a good face on their mercenary profession.

The repugnance which this shameful negation of principles of art inspires in the artistic world –a negation which even slave states have never dared to carry so far –should give rise to an active, uncompromising condemnation. The opposition of writers and artists is one of the forces which can usefully contribute to the discrediting and overthrow of regimes that are destroying, along with the right of the proletariat to aspire to a better world, every sentiment of nobility and even of human dignity.

The communist revolution is not afraid of art. It realizes that the role of the artist in a decadent capitalist society is determined by the conflict between the individual and various social forms which are hostile to him. This fact alone, in so far as he is conscious of it, makes the artist the natural ally of revolution. The process of sublimation, which here comes into play and which psychoanalysis has analyzed, tries to restore the broken equilibrium between the integral ‘ego’ and the outside elements it rejects. This restoration works to the advantage of the ‘ideal of self’, which marshals against the unbearable present reality all those powers of the interior world, of the ‘id’, which are common to all men and which are constantly flowering and developing. The need for emancipation felt by the individual spirit has only to follow its natural course to be led to mingle its stream with this primeval necessity –the need for the emancipation of man.

The conception of the writer’s function which the young Marx worked out is worth recalling. ‘The writer’, he said, ‘naturally must make money in order to live and write, but he should not under any circumstances live and write in order to make money…The writer by no means looks on his work as a means. It is an end in itself and so little a means in the eyes of himself and of others that if necessary he sacrifices his existence to the existence of his work…The first condition of freedom of the press is that it is not a business activity.’

It is more than ever fitting to use this statement against those who would regiment intellectual activity in the direction of ends foreign to itself and prescribe, in the guise of so-called reasons of state, the themes of art. The free choice of these themes and the absence of all restrictions on the range of his exploitations – these are possessions which the artist has a right to claim as inalienable. In the realm of artistic creation, the imagination must escape from all constraint and must under no pretext allow itself to be placed under bonds. To those who urge us, whether for today or for tomorrow, to consent that art should submit to a discipline which we hold to be radically incompatible with its nature, we give a flat refusal and we repeat our deliberate intention of standing by the formula complete freedom for art.

We recognize, of course, that the revolutionary state has the right to defend itself against the counterattack of the bourgeoisie, even when this drapes itself in the flag of science or art. But there is an abyss between these enforced and temporary measures of revolutionary self-defense and the pretension to lay commands on intellectual creation. If, for the better development of the forces of material production, the revolution must build a socialist regime with centralized control, to develop intellectual creation an anarchist regime of individual liberty should from the first be established. No authority, no dictation, not the least trace of orders from above! Only on a base of friendly cooperation, without constraint from outside, will it be possible for scholars and artists to carry out their tasks, which will be more far-reaching than ever before in history.

It should be clear by now that in defending freedom of thought we have no intention of justifying political indifference, and that it is far from our wish to revive a so-called pure art which generally serves the extremely impure ends of reaction. No, our conception of the role of art is too high to refuse it an influence on the fate of society. We believe that the supreme task of art in our epoch is to take part actively and consciously in the preparation of the revolution. But the artist cannot serve the struggle for freedom unless he subjectively assimilates its social content, unless he feels in his very nerves its meaning and drama and freely seeks to give his own inner world incarnation in his art.

In the present period of the death agony of capitalism, democratic as well as fascist, the artist sees himself threatened with the loss of his right to live and continue working. He sees all avenues of communication choked with the debris of capitalist collapse. It is only natural that he should turn to the Stalinist organizations which hold out the possibility of escaping from his isolation. But if he is to avoid complete demoralization he cannot remain there, because of the impossibility of delivering his own message and the degrading servility which these organizations exact from him in exchange for certain material advantages. He must understand that his place is elsewhere, not among those who betray the cause of the revolution, and of mankind, but among those who with unshaken fidelity bear witness to the revolution; among those who, for this reason, are alone able to bring it to fruition, and along with it the ultimate free expression of all forms of human genius.

The aim of this appeal is to find a common ground on which all revolutionary writers and artists may be reunited, the better to serve the revolution by their art and to defend the liberty of that art itself against the usurpers of the revolution. We believe that aesthetic, philosophical and political tendencies of the most varied sort can find here a common ground. Marxists can march here together with anarchists, provided both parties uncompromisingly reject the reactionary police patrol spirit represented by Joseph Stalin and his henchman García Oliver.

We know very well that thousands on thousands of isolated thinkers and artists are today scattered throughout the world, their voices drowned out by the loud choruses of well-disciplined liars. Hundreds of small local magazines are trying to gather youthful forces about them, seeking new paths and not subsidies. Every progressive tendency in art is destroyed by fascism as ‘degenerate’. Every free creation is called ‘fascist’ by the Stalinists. Independent revolutionary art must now gather its forces for the struggle against reactionary persecution. It must proclaim aloud the right to exist. Such a union of forces is the aim of the International Federation of Independent Revolutionary Art which we believe it is now necessary to form.

We by no means insist on every idea put forth in this manifesto, which we ourselves consider only a first step in the direction. We urge every friend and defender of art, who cannot but realize the necessity for this appeal, to make himself heard at once. We address the same appeal to all those publications of the left which are ready to participate in the creation of the International Federation and to consider its task and its methods of action.

When a preliminary international contact has been established through the press and by correspondence, we will proceed to the organization of local and national congresses on a modest scale. The final step will be the assembly of a world congress which will officially mark the foundation of the International Federation.

Our aims:

The independence of art — for the revolution.
The revolution — for the complete liberation of art!

Poster presentation: Evaluating heat tracing models in a pool-riffle-pool sequence, GSA Portland 2009

gsaPoster2009A pool-riffle-pool sequence in streambed morphology is thought to drive hyporheic downwelling near the head of the riffle and upwelling at the tail of the riffle and head of the lower pool. Heat tracing is a potentially useful method to characterize these hyporheic flow paths. A pool-riffle-pool sequence within Jaramillo Creek, Valles Caldera National Preserve, New Mexico was instrumented with a two dimensional vertical array of thermistors during the summers of 2008 and 2009. Three one-dimensional analytical heat transport models (Hatch et al 2006, Keery et al 2007, and Schmidt et al 2007) were used to individually interpret sections of the pool-riffle-pool sequence to quantify vertical fluid fluxes. The modeled fluxes were then compared to values obtained from vertical hydraulic gradient and hydraulic conductivity measurements. The fluxes estimated by the heat tracing methods exhibit a trend that partly follows the conceptual model of a pool-riffle-pool sequence. The directly calculated fluxes mostly agree with heat tracing based estimates. The deviation in flux distribution from the conceptual “downwelling-upwelling” model is partly due to the dominantly loosing conditions at the study site. Moreover, varying assumptions concerning boundary conditions and physical properties of the streambed that are intrinsic to the analytical models produce somewhat inconsistent results between methods. Careful selection of a model for heat tracing is vital to obtaining accurate fluid flux estimates. Click on the image of the poster to download a PDF of the poster.

Some flights are not being shown in TTS Consolidator, what can I do?

Rui Figueiredo -

Because search in TTS Consolidator is based on availability, only flights with available seats are returned.

Another reason could be that the respective carrier has been blacklisted by your agency or by your consolidator/host agency.

Blacklisted carriers can be found in the “Settings” area, which is only available for super users.

Comcast Loses 125K Video Subs In 3Q

No comments

Comcast said today that it lost a net of 125,000 video subscribers in the third quarter,

The losses were not unexpected. Matt Strauss, a Comcast executive vice president, said in early September at an investors conference that the company was likely to lose from 100,000 to 150,000 video subscribers in the third quarter.

Strauss blamed increased competition, and Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, which seriously damaged the states of Florida and Texas, causing many pay TV subscribers to jettison service, at least temporarily.

Still, the third quarter loss, which was revealed today in Comcast’s third quarter earnings report, nearly wipes out the cable operator’s entire net gain for all of 2016 when it added 161,000 video subscribers. (Comcast added a total of 8,000 video subscribers in the first two quarters of 2017.)

AT&T this week said it lost 385,000 net video subscribers from its traditional pay TV services, DIRECTV and U-verse, and also blamed increasing competition and the hurricanes. (The company’s live streaming service added 296,000 net subs, helping offset the losses by DIRECTV and U-verse.)

Comcast, the nation’s largest cable operator, now has 22.4 million video subscribers.

Follow TV Tropes

Compromising Call

Go To

This trope occurs when someone's attempt to communicate with a character ends up compromising them. Unlike other times when this happens, this is almost completely out of the character's control. Most of the time, it's not even malicious; the person calling just has no idea what situation the character is in when they make the call.

This most commonly occurs when a character is sneaking through enemy territory and someone on their side calling them or breaking radio silence reveals the character's presence. Note that the character needs to be aware that they have been discovered for this trope to apply.

Subtrope of So Much for Stealth. May overlap with Embarrassing Ringtone. Compare Kinda Busy Here when a call becomes inconvenient not because the callee's cover is blown but because they are busy with something else more important, which is usually played for laughs. If someone is trying to assure others that things are a certain way and a call soon afterwards says otherwise, they are Instantly Proven Wrong.

    open/close all folders

  • When vibrate functions were a new feature for cell phones, a cell phone commercial featured a spy who gets her cover blown by the cell phone spokesperson, who's calling to tell her about how having a cell phone with vibrate is better than one without.

    Anime and Manga
  • Episode 1 of Code Geass has Lelouch trying to sneak his way out of a massacre where his long lost best friend was just shot for refusing orders to kill him for knowing too much. Unfortunately for him, Shirley, who is at school, calls his cell phone in hopes of reaching him, alerting the soldiers to his location, resulting in him almost getting executed.

    Comic Books
  • One of Deadpool's attempts at a stealthy assassination was spoiled by his agent calling him. Doubles as Embarrassing Ringtone as the jingle heard is "YMCA". See here.

  • In Arthur Christmas, after crash landing Santa's sleigh in the Serengeti, Arthur manages to put a pride of lions to sleep by waving his musical slippers and singing. Afterward, the north pole tries to communicate with them via the sleigh. The resulting noise wakes the lions, leading Arthur and company to make a hasty escape.
  • In Batman: Mask of the Phantasm, the Joker has paid Councilman Arthur Reeves a visit. During this time, Andrea Beaumant—the daughter of the man they're discussing—calls, and the Joker—immediately suspicious—forces Arthur to pretend that all is well. Afterwards, the Joker comments on this:
    The Joker: Now ain't that a co-inkidink. We're discussing the old man and the spawn of his loins just happens to call. Makes you wanna laugh...
    The next scene is Reeves in a fit of laughter in the hospital.
  • In The Incredibles, Helen, in order to find out where her husband is, activates the homing beacon on Mr. Incredible's suit while he is infiltrating Syndrome's base. This activates the base's defenses which results in his capture.

    Films — Live-Action
  • In Die Hard 2, the conveniences of the 90's conspire against McClane, as Holly calls his pager from a skyphone. The first time is harmless, as McClane is just waiting at the airport, but the second time, after the plot's in high gear, it's far more hazardous. That time, McClane is trying to sneak towards the church that the terrorists are using as a base, and the pager alerts the guard.
  • In Sneakers, Martin is using an Air-Vent Passageway inside an enemy-controlled building. A guard is moving along a corridor under him while searching for him. Martin's partner Crease calls him on his radio, making enough noise that the guard hears it and Martin's location is revealed. The guard starts shooting into the ceiling with his shotgun to try to kill him.
  • Subverted in A Walk Among the Tombstones. After the cemetery shootout, Scudder realises his Tagalong Kid is missing and calls his mobile, not realising he's hiding in the back of the serial killers' van. Fortunately they've arrived at their destination by the time the call is made; one hears the ringtone, but dismisses it as coming from a nearby house.
  • In DEBS, Lucy Diamond is moving along an Air-Vent Passageway in the ceiling while her nemesis Bobby is following her in the corridor below. Suddenly Bobby's radio squawks, alerting Lucy to the fact that she's been detected and allowing her to escape.
  • The French movie Rosalie Blum is about a sympathetically portrayed Stalker Without a Crush who starts regularly following a woman (the titular Rosalie) around because he's convinced to have met her before but can't quite place her. Rosalie is part of a church chorus and the protagonist forgets to turn off his phone while entering the church. His My Beloved Smother chooses that moment to call him.
  • In The Terminator, this is inverted. Sarah is the one in danger, and tries to call her friend Ginger to warn her of the killer that's stalking her. Unfortunately for Sarah, Ginger is already dead and the voice mail Sarah leaves lets the Terminator not only know it killed the wrong woman, but exactly where Sarah is.
  • In World War Z, the protagonist's wife calls while he and his team are trying to quietly sneak through a horde of zombies. The call alerts the zombies and results in some deaths.
  • Spider-Man: Homecoming: Peter is trying to spy on Toomes' dealers Brice and Schultz selling alien weaponry to Aaron Davis, when his position is inadvertently given away by the sound of his phone ringing as Ned tries to call him.
  • In T2 Trainspotting, as Renton tries to hide from Begbie in a car park, his iPhone's ringtone gives him away when Simon calls him to ask where he is.

  • One Of Us Is Lying: When Addy records Jake incriminating himself, Cooper (who is parked outside, but not in on the recording plan), calls her to find out what's going on. Unfortunately, Addy forgot to silence her phone...
  • Discussed then Averted in The Thrawn Trilogy. Han goes off to follow a suspicious looking character, leaving Lando and Luke on their own. Han tells Lando not to call him, as he might be somewhere he wouldn't want a callbeep going off. Lando later tries to comm Han anyway, since there's an Imperial raid happening, but it's moot because the Empire is jamming comm traffic and Han had his comlink taken by the suspicious-looking character's associates anyway.

    Live-Action TV
  • In Agent Carter, while Peggy is investigating the Roxxon factory, Mr. Jarvis calls her on his walkie-talkie. This alerts the workers to her presence, which ultimately leads to a truck of Nitramine escaping and to the implosion of the factory.
  • Bionic Woman. While the title character is hiding from well-armed mooks in "Paradise Lost", her Bratty Half-Pint sister rings demanding to know where her Tenacious D T-shirt is.
  • Black Mirror: In "Playtest", this is subverted and then played straight. The protagonist of the episode tries to take a sneaky photograph of the new gaming device he's testing with his phone, and his mother calls when the technician comes back which raises the suspicions of the technician (who confiscated the phone and turned it off before the test) but she merely dismisses it and carries on with the experiment. Only at the end do we find that the events of the whole episode were in fact just a Dying Dream in the protagonist's head, as the ill-timed call in real life caused the device to malfunction and fry his brain.
  • Blake's 7. As their teleport bracelets also serve as Comm Links our heroes can't afford to turn them off, so this trope happens a couple of times when hiding from patrolling Federation troops.
  • Has happened at least once on Chuck, when Chuck's Locked Out of the Loop best friend Morgan Grimes calls his cell phone, alerting his enemies to his location.
  • CSI: Played for Drama during an episode following the investigation of an undercover cop that was infiltrating a criminal biker gang and had been beaten and stabbed to death by them. It turned out that his wife had gotten drunk and, believing that he was having an affair for some time already, called a number that he had on speed-dial (which was the gang's hangout) and blurted out his real identity to the waitress (who she thought was the officer's mistress)... and to make things worse, the officer was right inside the bar when she did this. After a whole episode of being devastated because of her husband's death, she utterly collapsed when Brass told her this and then arrested her.
  • CSI: NY: In the season three finale, "Snow Day", phone service in the area is down while the lab is being stormed by thieves who want their confiscated drugs back. Peyton, realizing Mac is trapped inside with them, repeatedly tries to call him. Service is restored and she finally gets through at the exact moment Mac is sneaking up on the Big Bad to get the drop on him. By this time the sprinklers are going off; cue Battle in the Rain.
  • Daredevil (2015): While James Wesley is in the midst of trying to intimidate Karen Page, his phone suddenly rings as Wilson Fisk tries to call him from the hospital. The brief amount of time that Wesley looks down at the phone is just long enough that Karen is able to grab Wesley's gun and shoot him to death.
  • The Defenders (2017): The sound of Claire's phone ringing tells Bakuto that someone is hiding nearby, but he's too busy intimidating Colleen to do anything about it.
  • Father Ted. A recurring gag has Ted often call a friend, fellow Priest Larry Duff, for advice. Every time his cellphone ringing results in disaster for Larry. In one example he is strapped to a wheel on a stage while a blindfold magician is throwing knives at him, having called for complete silence.
  • In Frequency, when Raimy sneaks into the killer's house on her own, her phone starts ringing which alerts the villain and eventually leads to his escape.
  • Subverted in the first episode of How to Get Away with Murder. In one of the flash-forwards, Wes, Connor, Michaela and Laurel are hauling Sam's corpse into the woods when Laurel gets a call from Frank. A nearby couple hear her phone ringing and decide to leave instead of investigating further.
  • On an episode of It Takes a Thief (2005), Jon is robbing a sorority and decides to wait until all the residents are home (presumably so he doesn't have to worry about anyone showing up while the heist is in progress). Jon makes his move while all the girls are in the living room, assuming they'd all be there for a while. Instead, the girls almost immediately split into small groups and meander about. Matt, watching the cameras decides to call Jon to warn him. The trope ends up subverted when it turns out Jon turned his phone off prior to beginning the heist.
  • In one episode of NCIS: Los Angeles the team rescues a group of kidnapped Marines from a group of mercenaries, then is led to their employer through one of their cell phones.
  • A crowning moment at the end of Sherlock's episode "A Scandal in Belgravia". Irene texts Sherlock to say goodbye as she is about to be executed. A few seconds later she hears the text message tone she put on his phone for her number. This makes her realize he is with her in the room. Cue a Big Damn Heroes moment as Sherlock blows his cover and frees Irene from her captors.

  • Pop Up Globe's 2019 production of Hamlet has several anachronistic touches for comic relief, including Polonius having a smartphone that keeps ringing at inopportune moments. This turns out to be a Chekhov's Gag when the phone rings while Polonius is spying on Hamlet's conversation with Ophelia, tipping Hamlet off to Polonius's presence.

    Western Animation
  • On Archer, a ridiculous number of ISIS' undercover agents have had their covers blown because Sterling Archer got drunk and happened to call them while they were on a mission.

Code Geass

Probably should've put the phone on vibrate.

How well does it match the trope?
