La pinta tequila costco10/31/2023 ![]() Reposado (rested) and añejo (aged) tequilas are golden-brown in color because they have absorbed coloring and flavor characters of the wooden barrels they’ve been stored in. There is, for instance, no such thing as a gold tequila. One of the greatest sins of mass-produced hard alcohol is the use of coloring agents and added sugars. Rum and whiskey acquire all of their color and flavor from the barrels they are aged in post-distillation - or at least they should. What color is it?Įvery alcohol (except agave based-spirits like tequila and mezcal) comes off the still looking and smelling very much the same. Alcohol served this way is meant to be savored, or at the very least noticed, as it’s being consumed: Do not try to pass off Costco-brand gin for Hendrick’s in a room full of martini drinkers. The flip-side of this is, of course, if you plan to drink these spirits neat, on the rocks, or in more spirit-forward cocktails like martinis, Old Fashioneds, or Manhattans. With all that mixer, it doesn’t much matter what your base is. The same is true for many highballs: Ordering a top shelf vodka and cranberry juice is a waste of money. The lemon, mint, and sugar are going to be much more discernible flavors than any differences between those three bourbons. In a whiskey smash, for instance, it barely makes a difference if you’re using Jim Beam or Jack Daniels or something less widely marketed like Four Roses Yellow Label. The most readily shared secret of the bar industry is this: When you’re making mixed drinks or juice-and-modifier-forward cocktails, the brand of base spirit you use rarely matters. Here’s what to consider: What do you want to do with it? The major question, of course, is “Is it worth the discount?” Will that “Blended Scotch Whiskey” make a decent Penicillin? Will anyone notice the difference between Kirkland’s “Spiced Rum” and Captain Morgan? Do you care? There’s a lot to consider when it comes to purchasing off-brand booze from, let’s be real, distilleries we know nothing about. practically everything, even generic Kirkland liquor that, despite being cheaper and of more mysterious origins than the name brand stuff, will absolutely satisfy holiday cocktail needs. To ease the stress of buying supplies, they start settling for “good enough,” heading to Costco where, if you have a membership, you can buy. Every holiday season, neophyte party planners come to realize that their ideal soiree - one replete with the finest of cheeses, homemade baked goods, and small batch cocktails - isn’t entirely realistic.

Dew point psychrometric chart10/31/2023 Along this curve, the system air is saturated with water vapor. Saturation curve This is the relative humidity equal to 100% curve. The brown diagonal lines, with values read under the temperature values on the horizontal axis moisture content, is the vertical axis, with the blue lines representing it is constant along the line. This is the green-olive colored curves, which range from 10 to 100%. Once you get that point, you gain access to several other properties (such as enthalpy) by following along the other axes. When you are given any two properties that appear on the chart, then you can find a point on the graph. The technique is the same for any combination of properties given. Given a combination of these properties, we would be expected to determine the enthalpy. The chart relates the mixture's enthalpy to T dp, T wb, h a, h r, and specific volume. Where the actual water vapor - air psychrometric chart forms a continuum of lines. But this also allows us to determine several properties for a gas-vapor mixture simultaneously. Psychrometric charts can seem more confusing because they offer several more axes on one graph instead of just two. On this page, the focus is on how to read and use the chart.Īs engineers, we have probably become comfortable with using two dimensional plots. ![]() That is, it allows us to obtain enthalpies from dew point temperature and relative humidity (as an example), or from the humid specific volume and wet bulb temperature. ![]() It allows us to get the enthalpies for an air-water vapor system not only directly from temperature, but also from other properties that are functions of temperature. It is just a composite of empirical correlations of different properties. However, this chart is used specifically for water vapor - air systems. From an energy balance point of view, it functions just as enthalpy tables do for obtaining enthalpies for different compounds, and as steam tables did for water vapor.

Eno slack line10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() When you go to a climbing spot, you’re almost destined to see some climbers on a slackline to keep them occupied on their rest day. For instance: some webbing is great for only 1 person to walk on, another works best for more dynamic aerial tricks, and another works well if you want to have more than 1 person on the line at a time. We now have 1″-2″ wide webbing and different types of webbing. Since then, slacklining has progressed, with a lot of help coming from Andy “Sketchy Andy” Lewis. It was a great in-between class activity that started to attract crowds right away. This gave them more dynamic ability to jump and do tricks and walk with more than one person on the line. They quickly got the idea to string up 1″-wide climbing webbing to walk on. has been going on for centuries, slacklining wasn’t actually brought into the limelight until 1979 when two climbers, Adam Grosowsky and Jeff Ellington, who were going to school at The Evergreen State College, started walking around on loose chains and cables they found on campus. While walking on some sort of wire, rope, etc. TIP: If you wind your webbing nice and round together it will be easier to transport in your backpack or how ever you move it.Top 5 Reasons You Should try the ENO SlackWireĮver since the 2012 Super Bowl Halftime Show, the slackline community has started to gain more recognition. Pull the slackline webbing belt out of the ratchet. TIP: The harder and faster you pull the the ratchet down the more webbing gets out of the ratchet and it will be easier to get the slackline belt out there. You need to hear a loud ´´KLACK´´ and see that the tension is off the line. Hold the black handle part of your ratchet like you would hold on to your bike handle bar and reach out like you would want to pull the brakes on your bike and pull the little metal square. Lock the ratchet! (see how to do this in the illustration) And now you are ready to go! But once the slackline is build up and the ratchet is locked and secure the webbing belt it self holds up to 25,000N (2500kg) of tension! So go crazy!!! Tighten it up man! TIP: If you put your arms around the slackline, one left hand side the other right hand side around the webbing you´ll be able to put more power towards the ratchet handle to pull it. GOOD TO KNOW: The ratchet itself can only handle 500N (50kg) of force to tighten the webbing up. ![]() TIP: Don´t get frustrated at the first time you do it – it needs some practise, but after some runs you´ll do it like it´s your job! Pull the webbing slackline end part all the way through the ratchet and make sure there is already some tension so you don´t have to pull the ratchet too much, because it cant wrap to much belt webbing through. TIP: Double check that the woven in text of your slackline is pointing to the top and make sure it´s not twisted and straight up all the way through Insert the end of your webbing sling through the ratchet middle part which will turn later when you put tension on it. TIP: Fold the part where the slackline webbing touches the sling in half (as seen on first picture on setup illustration) STEP 1: Wrap both parts, ratchet end and webbing sling end around the trees you have chosen and put each part through the sling itself. Here is a short and simple how to set up slackline with a ratchet webbing slings system: You can carry it easy in your backpack or leave it in your car all the time to have your slackline kit ready when ever you need it. The ratchet and the webbing belt is also no problem to carry it around town or lift it up all the way of a mountain summit. A slackline set with a ratchet and webbing slings is probably the most simple and most durable system you can get. Goodsync review10/31/2023 GoodSync has a good UI that is intuitive and the manual is excellent. ![]() you need to backup on Mac to actual disk formatted by Mac. Tech: yes, you NAS does not support any such thing. All of his responses were similar, no matter what information I provided. Here is one response a GoodSynch tech to a carefully crafted question from me that contained relevant log entries and observations. I really wanted to like this product and even offered a suggestion for a workaround but they weren't interested. Applications from other companies support syncing Mac extended attributes over SMB to a NAS albeit with a worse UI and poor documentation. GoodSync has a slick website that promises a critical feature that they can't deliver and thier tech support is rude, unhelpful and technically out-of-date.

This is not really a bad thing as once understood or after using it for a while it be very easy to use. ![]() The way the data represented (conflicts, copy left to right and vice versa) and also the action that needs to be taken presented in a better way. It took some time to realize how exactly it works so first time users can find it a bit difficult. User Interface for synchronization can be improved. It is really fast and makes the easily done. I have 9 hard disks and i back up and sync between all of them using GoodSync. (the price is slight higher) -Ability to save sync or back jobs is very convenient and being able to group is quite nice. Synchronizing tool is very powerful and accurate -There is built support to sync with many cloud storage accounts (google drive, onedrive, box etc) -Portable version of the software is handy as it can be used in many computers. ![]() No need to have different tools for different jobs. Saves a lot of time and make the whole process easy. It takes care of comparing and we just have to choose what actions needs to be taken. Having a software like GoodSync, we don't really have do any manual tracking. In some cased it can be easily overlooked. We also need to keep track manually of the changed files and update. When we have too much data it is really easy to forget back up or sync.

We are just adding the finishing touches to make it absolutely perfect. “The game is just about complete and has been in QA for quite a while. When asked about a retail date, Fergus had no solid answer, hoping February or the beginning of March. “That said, we have still managed to keep all the locations and puzzle elements totally authentic, and all the locations use the same viewpoint and are identical to the PlayStation version.” The problem has been addressed by using a text window that appears at the bottom of the play area.” The speech was also a problem because the Game Boy is not suited to large amounts of speech, especially when it is critical to the game. ![]() “All of the characters and enemies in Resident Evil Game Boy are software scaled, so given the limited amount of CPU bandwidth the Game Boy has available, it is very difficult to have extremely large enemies, and lots of enemies on screen at the same time.

IGNPocket interviewed Fergus about the status of the game in early January. The English-Japanese language communication barrier was cited as one of the reasons for both games’ setbacks ( link). Originally planned to be sold in time for Christmas that year, Capcom delayed the game and tentatively moved its release date to the first quarter of 2000 ( link).īy December, however, Resident Evil had suddenly gone AWOL from Capcom’s games schedule, along with another UK-developed Game Boy Color port, Street Fighter Alpha. “The most unlikely Game Boy game on show will be a translation of the brutal Resident Evil.” In May 1999, while previewing the upcoming E3 conference, The Times announced that Resident Evil would finally make an official appearance. Together with a small development team, they labored all year long and through 1999 to make the Resident Evil Game Boy Color port as faithful to the 1996 original as possible, which meant transferring all of the pre-rendered backgrounds and every last line of hokey dialogue.

Panasonic d snap digital camcorder10/31/2023 ![]() ![]() Self-retracting lens cap for the Leica D-Lux 6 or Lumix LX-7 Image quality Cindy outside of Bill’s house in AustinĬonsidering that the camera has a compact-sized sensor, I was quite impressed with the sharpness, image quality, as well as the colors the camera produced during ideal lighting situations (the day). The D-Lux 6 that Leica sent me had a piece of string that held the lens cap to the camera (so it wouldn’t get lost) but I still found having to put the lens cap on and off a bit of an annoyance.ĮDIT: Chris Moore from Leica informed me that you can purchase a $14 attachment that solves this issue here. I don’t mind this so much, except the fact that if you want to use the lens cap, you have to always put it on and off. However when you turn it on, the lens extends. The camera is very compact when turned off (could probably slip into a front-pocket). However one thing that I found a bit annoying about the camera was the retracting lens. Probably not the best LCD screen I have ever used– but I never found the LCD to distract me from any picture-taking on the streets, and reviewing the images on the screen was accurate to my eyes. The LCD screen is nice, bright, and colorful and found it easy to compose even with bright sunlight. It turns on quickly, and the autofocus is very fast to lock on, and there is no noticeable shutter delay when taking a photograph (at least of which I could notice). The first thing that I was quite impressed by was the responsiveness of the camera. I’m not not a leather connoisseur, but the leather felt of great quality– it was soft, hugged my body well, and comfortable around my neck (even when using it for an entire day). However I was surprised to see how comfortable it was, and I ended up using it the entire time. The D-Lux 6 also comes with a leather neck-strap, which I didn’t expect myself using so much (I generally prefer wrist-straps for compacts). A few times I found myself changing the focusing to macro mode (when taking photos of what I was eating for breakfast). However I rarely found myself changing the focusing settings (I generally kept it on autofocus – which was quick, reliable, and versatile). You can also adjust the camera from Autofocus, Macro, and Manual focus on the side of the lens on-the-fly. I found this a great design touch, and used it very often. Right next to the top-right grip of the camera, there is a jogging dial which you can dial left, right, or even push in (to activate the exposure compensation mode). The dials on the camera are surprisingly solid, tactile, and give you pleasing clicks in-between settings.Įrgonomically, the camera is comfortable to hold, with a thumb grip in the top right of the camera. However as I will mention later, I never found myself using this– just shooting in P mode. On the front of the camera, an interesting feature is that you can actually change the aperture (from 1.4 up to f8). The Leica D-Lux 6 has a beautiful design: coated with a black matte finish that feels good on the hands, and feels solid without being too heavy. The differences is that it has nicer cosmetic touches, comes packaged with Lightroom, and commands a higher sticker price (the Leica is ~800 USD, while the Panasonic is ~330 USD). ![]() So how is the Leica D-Lux 6 for street photography? Read on to see my thoughts.įor those of you who don’t know the Leica D-Lux series, it a compact camera sold by Leica that shares the same internals as the Panasonic Lumix LX7. I think at the end of the day, I prefer having smaller cameras for street photography– as I generally end up carrying them with me everywhere I go (whereas my bigger cameras of the past tended to stay home and collect dust). I have always been a huge fan of compact cameras– for their weight, size, and easily portability. About two months ago (before I was going to embark on my Michigan to LA road trip), Chris Moore and Shirley DeSilva from the marketing division of Leica lent me a Leica D-Lux 6 to test out on the streets (thanks guys!).
