And yes, it’s compatible with all full-size Vitamix machines built since the early 1990’s. Care: container and lid are dishwasher-safe.Dimensions: measures approximately 8.25" x 7.5" x 10.25" The Aer disc container is a completely new class of kitchen tool that gives home cooks the ability to fine-tune delicate blends like emulsions, culinary foams.Compatible with all full-size (Classic and Smart System) Vitamix blenders.Make batches of handcrafted-quality cocktails in a fraction of the time.Unlike a typical blending container, the Aer disc container acts like both a muddler and a cocktail shaker, extracting essential oils and juice, while at the same time chilling drinks without crushing the ice. Add fresh fruit, veggies or herbs to the mixture, and the Aer disc will partially crush the ingredients, adding additional texture and bursts of flavour. On todays episode, were making a delicious strawberry lemonade using our. Although I am using the new Vitamix Aer Disc. No fake ingredients, chemicals, or preservatives. Vitamix Strawberry Lemonade - SUPER EASY A La Carte Cooking. This is a very simple beverage, made with only a few ingredients. Great for colds and sore throats, especially if you throw in some ginger root. The basic recipe is water, lemons, and a sweetener (sugar or honey). Use HOT Water (obviously skipping the ice cubes - substitute an extra 1/2C of water) and enjoy a nice hot lemonade. With only 4 ingredients water, ice, 1 lemon + infused honey, this lemonade can be whipped up in about 5 minutes if you already have the infused honey on hand. The Aer disc container from Vitamix excels at producing consistently creamy emulsions, light culinary foams and stiff whipped creams. With the Vitamix Aer, making lemonade is a cinch. The Ascent Series A2500 + the Aer Disc Container deliver powerful precision in one convenient package. ![]() ![]() There are no longer any 1-ups in the game, and Sonic just respawns at the last checkpoint. Going slow is often treated as a punishment for making a mistake, which makes sense given the game's time attack-centric nature.Ĭolors Ultimate also makes some changes to further push the "time attack" aspect. It's clear that the intent of the game is to chain together moves and keep moving as best as you can. It's pretty much on par with Sonic Generations if you played that, so it doesn't break the game. Sonic can feel both weighty and floaty at different times, and trying to do low-speed precision platforming can sometimes feel awkward. The downside is that anything that doesn't involve going at top speed can feel a little awkward. If you use the Drill Wisp to cut through this area, it can save 20 seconds, but if you launch a daring homing attack on a distant enemy, you can avoid an entire dangerous area. It also makes it fun to play through stages over and over to try to optimize your run just a touch more. It feels incredibly cool and captures the feel of a supersonic speedster really well. When you're using everything Sonic can do, you're basically a nonstop pinball of boosts, dashes, jumps, slides, and transformations. Part of why Wisps work so well is because the core design of Sonic Colors is about chaining various moves to remain as mobile as possible. The only one that doesn't work so well is the Cube Wisp, which slows the pace of the game more than I'd like where it's basically required. ![]() Sonic's primary motivation is to go fast, and the bulk of them offer different ways to do so, usually unlocking alternate paths in the process. Part of what makes Sonic Colors work is that the Wisps don't feel intrusive or out of place. The Wisps unlock alternate paths through the stage, some of which help you trim time from your final score and find hidden red rings. Wisps are gradually unlocked as you play the game and populate older levels, so you have more reasons to revisit earlier stages. Each Wisp only lasts a short time but can be stored until you want to use it or get a replacement. New to the HD version of the game is the Jade Ghost Wisp, which is slow and provides a Homing Attack mechanic that lets Sonic hit a nearby enemy or special object. The Blue Cube Wisp transforms certain special rings into blocks and vice versa. Drill lets Sonic tear through dirt with ease, Frenzy turns Sonic into a terrifying beast that gets larger as he eats more, and Hover lets Sonic float and perform the Lightspeed Dash from earlier Sonic titles. Rocket makes him zoom high into the air, Spikes lets him spin-dash along walls, and Laser has him rush forward at tremendous speed and bounce off objects. The one unique gimmick of Sonic Colors is Wisps, which are power-ups hidden throughout stages, and each one grants Sonic a new, temporarily power. It is Sonic gameplay at its most basic, but the core gameplay is a lot of fun, and Colors doesn't get bogged down. Certain actions, like collecting wisps or destroying enemies, will give him Boost Energy that he can use to zoom forward at Mach speed to destroy a weak enemy in his path. Sonic can run, slide, and perform a timed homing attack to damage enemies. It's a mix of 2D and 3D platforming with a heavy emphasis on speed. Sonic Colors follows on the same basic gameplay formula introduced in Sonic Unleashed and continued in the 3D segments of Sonic Generations. Eggman has an evil plan that involves kidnapping cute (alien) animals called Wisps, but in the end, good triumphs over evil in an all-ages adventure. Sonic is at his best when he's facing simple but amusing threats, and Colors leans hard into that. It's just a cartoon hedgehog being snarky at his egg-shaped mad doctor nemesis, and it works. ![]() There's no world-eating monster, no scenes where Sonic is tortured for a year, and certainly no uncomfortable human-hedgehog kissing. Eggman created an evil amusement park, and Sonic and Tails have to destroy it. Sonic Colors: Ultimate stands out from most of the other recent Sonic titles by being a simple adventure story. Sonic Colors, originally released for the Nintendo Wii, had an idea very much like the popular Sonic Mania game: What if Sonic the Hedgehog just ran through hoops and jumped on robots? It turns out you get a darn fun game. Sometimes these weird gimmicks can be fun (like Chao raising), but other times, they become the low point of otherwise fun games. A lot of that boils down to the need to tack on weird, extraneous mechanics in an attempt to pad out the gameplay, whether that's fishing, robot fights, or the one time he inexplicably became a werewolf. His series features some of the greatest platformers ever made - and some of the worst. Mario's longtime rival never reinvented himself as much as the plumber/doctor/go-kart racer/sports star. ![]() Sonic the Hedgehog is a bit of an odd duck. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Still reeling from the sudden death of Dr Thomas Chamberlain and the shock departure of. Thomas investigates the apparent suicide of a successful businessman, finding unexpected connections to the plane crash. Scott’s return, the reminder of Thomas dying and Clarissa leaving, even a simple mention of Harry allowed us to see that the show actually remembered Nikki’s past. Synopsis The return of the BBC One award-winning crime drama. 2020 Deadhead: Part 1 7.3 (243) Rate A private jet crashes into woodland outside London. There were a few elements in ‘Redemption’ that immediately showed us this series was going to be different from the rest. It also featured prisoner Scott Weston – a character from a story back in 2010 that saw Nikki and former colleague Harry trapped in a university while a shooting spree took place. So, what is so different about this year? It’s simple – character development and continuity.Įpisodes one and two saw Nikki and Jack investigate the death of a prison inmate. The Metro review says ” Silent Witness has just aired its strongest series ever – why has it taken so long?” The main storyline and characters will be introduced in part one, usually a cliff hanger ending delivers a plot twist or runs the risk of the case being in jeopardy, but in part two, the story and who is responsible for the murder/s is always exposed. Surprisingly, it’s been its strongest output to date.Ĭreated by Nigel McCrery in 1996, Silent Witness is typically made up of two-part stories. The show is the longest running crime drama in the world and has just aired the final episode in its 24 th series on BBC One. ![]() What a privilege to work with such a great team an behalf of the BBC. It was great seeing this crime scene being staged at one of our locations for Silent Witness Season 24.

A transformation from a normal outhouse to a burnt out shell. ![]() ![]() ![]() If you want to use it in the early stage, Can only choose to buy in advance by way of way.Ĭompared with the mighty new plant, the thorny new enemy is not so much loved, the game adds some zombies that indirectly hindered the players, such as appearance on the map of Egypt, will absorb the sunshine of the pharaoh zombies, threw Bones summon the witch doctor zombies of the tombstones, both of which, although not really detrimental to the player's plant, are enough to affect the overall situation - when the player goes down then 25 sunshine can plant a strong plant, Absorbed by the enemy, is simply "God annoying!" In contrast, in order to highlight these new plants, PopCap put some of the old plants "into the cold palace," and the classic plants in the previous works require the player to get the process to a certain degree under normal circumstances. Cabbage, for example, has a high frequency of attacks but a single attack range, which is good for breaking tombstones and even working with nuts to make a splash at the front. These new plants not only have the same attacking style as the older generation, but also the tactics the players use to take them Different. Most of the plants that are available for the first game of the game, except potatoes, pea shooters and sunflowers, are brand new - boomerang shooters who can attack up to three targets in a straight line, preferring melee cabbages, You can freeze a zombie's frozen lettuce without any sunlight, and even lightning reeds that can use lightning attack. New plants and new enemies are a part of PopCap's big part of this promotion, and in real games these two new features really give players a completely different and pre-emptive experience. I believe in most cases, players will give priority to choose it, right? However, this setting can be understood as PopCap is to encourage everyone to try more new plants to deal with the enemy, so let's talk about these newly added stuff! However, this setting has also somewhat weakened pea shooter, an attacker that can not penetrate the barrier of old plants - if there is a zombie and pea shooter in the middle of a tombstone, then the zombie before crossing the tombstone, the pea shooter only Can attack the tombstone, but can not cause damage to the zombies, relatively speaking, the new plant parabolic attack is much more beneficial, you can directly attack the zombie across the tombstone, and the price is 100 sunshine. In this scenario, any plant attack can damage the tombstone and destroy the tombstone a few times. ![]() Although the tombstone appeared in the past, these obstructions can only be destroyed by the specific plants. However, the biggest change in the adventure mode lies in the tombstone. The plants are also not moving, but add a lot of dynamic effects, such as the familiar pea shooter in the attack will muster the cheek and then spit out the bullets, the new plant cabbage will be looked around with provocative eyes, this Changes in detail not only give the old players a fresh feeling, but also as a swap, so that players waiting for the enemy offensive not so boring. Compared with the previous game, the optimization of the game has done very well, even in the "old machine" will not feel any significant delay. PopCap has greatly improved its software production capabilities after it has been developed by various platforms. Īlthough there are not many breakthroughs in how adventure levels are played, this does not mean that the model is immutable. ![]() Simple game concepts and user-friendly teaching make it easy for new players to understand the "Plants vs Zombies" for the first time. ![]() Plants vs Zombies2 well inherited the fine tradition of the past, the game's main mode is still an adventure level, that is, the majority of players are familiar with the five-line offensive and defensive mode, the basic mode of play in this mode is exactly the same as before, players need to collect sunlight Planting plants on the ground to prevent the invasion of zombies, eliminating the sad reminder of zombies eating your brain. ![]() ![]() ![]() I loved my time with the El Primero Striking Tenth, and consider it one of the absolute coolest watches around right now. You have seen that Zenith now offers a Striking Tenth with a flyback mechanism, but in a much heftier, sportier case called the Stratos - which, despite the great movement and vintage dial, just doesn't have the same appeal to me. I was told that Zenith is now reaching the end of production of all 1,969 pieces and that at no point in the future will they ever build a watch using the Striking Tenth movement with this vintage case and dial again. ![]() Only 1,969 pieces will be made in stainless steel, while 500 will be made in gold. What I haven't mentioned yet, which will matter to some, is that the Striking Tenth is a limited edition chronograph. All alligator straps from Zenith are very thin and soft, yet come lined in rubber to make for a longer lifecycle - they absorb sweat better than any alligator strap I've ever worn. On the tail of the red center hand you will find the Zenith star, just as you will on the crown, the buckle, and the rotor. Imagine the possibilities - A Striking Tenth Movement In A 38mm Case?The detailing of this watch is really very nice. I simply couldn't help myself from playing with the chonograph! Press play below to see why. I began timing elevator rides, walks around the corner, and telephone conversations - all to 1/10th of a second. The sweeping hand on this watch is nothing short of mesmerizing and one of the most entertaining complications on any watch I have ever worn. Wearing the watch in my daily activities for a week's time, I can tell you there isn't another chronograph I would've rather been wearing. Understanding how the Striking Tenth does what it does is one thing, but seeing it and living with it is quite another. The Striking Tenth is the first chronograph from Zenith to take full advantage of the capabilities found inherently in the El Primero movement, and while the idea for such a display was patented in 2002, it took until 2010 for the brand to fully implement it in a meaningful way, with this watch. The silicon clutch wheel has 100 teeth on it, which translates into 100 beats per the ten second rotation, or ten strikes per second - which provided Zenith with a little naming inspiration for this model. It is also driven by a small wheel for less inertia. Silicon was used because it is 3.5x lighter than a tradtional wheel, and since this one is continually running, it would cause less wear on the movement. Zenith's beautifully finished caliber 4052 B can be seen through a sapphire caseback The blue double-layered clutch wheel, which can be seen at the top in the picture above, is made completely of silicon and runs both the continually running seconds register and sweeping hand. I found myself timing everything to a 1/10th of a second, just because I could. Essentially, the sweeping hand here moves at 6x the pace of a normal chornograph's hand, and thanks to the clearly marked flange on the rim of the dial and a chronograph clutch-wheel that is perpetually engaged (even when the chrono is not running), stopping the 1/10th second hand and reading it precisely is incredibly easy. The idea behind this watch is to have a center seconds hand that rotates around the dial not once every 60 seconds, but once every ten seconds, allowing the reader to measure 1/10th of a second accuracy with ease. ![]() These 11 new components allow the El Primero, which has had a frequency of 36,000 vibrations per hour since its launch over forty years ago, to take full advantage of this incredibly high frequency (FYI - when Rolex used the El Primero movement in its Daytona, they modified it to beat at a slower 28,000 vph). And, inside is not your standard El Primero - it's your standard El Primero plus 11 new components. This El Primero isn't about tracking hours, it's about tracking a fraction of a second. Here, you'll see that there exists no hours register, and that is because the Striking Tenth does not account of hours at all with its chronograph function. The Striking Tenth's Sub-Dial Layout Is Different Than Other El Primeros To Accommodate The Innovative Movement 40 Years + 11 Components ![]() ![]() Casey had long been wondering about the VCR in her office, which she said never worked.

You would think there would be more New York high school guards who have played their way into prominent roles at the Garden. It is just the way things are.īut as good as it was for Knicks fans to be Knicks fans again, it can only be better now that Kemba Walker has come home. They just will never have the same hold on basketball New York that the Knicks do. The Nets have a right to think they can win it all. And the Knicks, more than the Yankees or the Mets or the Giants or the Jets, will feel like the biggest game in town. Nets a real rivalry, it will be something to see. But the Knicks desperately want to show that the 2020-21 season, the one that brought life and hope and noise back to the Garden when the fans came back, was no fluke, or happy basketball accident. It doesn’t mean they will go toe-to-toe with the Nets, or find a way to be better than the Hawks this time, or even allow themselves to think they could knock off Giannis and the world champ Bucks one of these days. The Knicks try to do it again this season. It was an old jazz man named Dizzy Gillespie who said, and famously, that the professional is the one who can do it again. He could not finish the Celtics-Nets playoff series last spring because of that left knee. There have been surgeries on his left knee. There is a lot of mileage on him, absolutely. He will turn 32 during next year’s NBA playoffs. Kemba Walker, the rare city kid who grew up to get the ball with the Knicks, can be a part of all that. And if they ever do win the team’s first title since 1973, that Knicks team will take its place with the most storied teams the city has ever produced, in anything. If he can help the Knicks become real contenders again, do something more than surprise us the way they did last season before Trae Young and the Hawks got them in the first round, it will become one of the great New York sports stories. Unlike Marbury of Lincoln High, this looks like absolutely the right place for Kemba, absolutely the right time.

Little big man in the pros the way he was in high school, the way he was in college. He has averaged as many as 25 points in a season. He has averaged 20 points per game for his career in Charlotte and Boston. Kemba Walker, even slowed by injury the past couple of years, comes home as someone who has been as much of a star in the NBA as he was with the UConn Huskies. ![]() ![]() ![]() Take an unforgettable journey on an airboat tour through Floridas Everglades National Park.

However, the rovers’ current equipment wouldn’t be able to detect it on Mars. Azua-Bustos’s team go one step further, proposing a “dark microbiome” which contains potentially relic, extinct Earth species.Īzua-Bustos’s team found sophisticated laboratory techniques could detect a dark microbiome in the Atacama Desert’s Martian-like hyper-arid soil samples. To identify them, we require next-generation sequencing. In my field of extreme microbiology, “microbial dark matter” is when the majority of microscopic organisms in a sample have not been isolated and/or characterised. Traces of life are scarce in the Atacama Desert. This tells us the limits of our detection. Finally, we determine how sensitive tools need to be to detect those biosignatures, on Earth and also Mars. These include organic molecules like lipids, nucleic acids and proteins. Then we need to develop tools to identify the “biosignatures” for life. Finding evidence of life is challenging, given the harsh conditions and the scarcity of microbial life present.įirst, we must define the biological and physical boundaries of life existing (and being detected) in analogue “extreme” environments. In both of these sites, life exists despite extreme pressures. In my team’s case, our Mars analogue sites are the cold and hyper-arid deserts of the Dry Valleys and Windmill Islands in Antarctica. They were able to detect the mineral components of the samples, but were not always able to detect organic molecules. Armando Azua-Bustos/Centro de Astrobiología, CC BYĪzua-Bustos and colleagues found the rovers’ testbed equipment – tools for analysing samples in the field – had limited ability to detect the traces of life we might expect to find on the red planet. Scientists take samples from the Atacama Desert’s arid soil. The new research, led by Armando Azua-Bustos at the Center for Astrobiology in Madrid, tested the sophisticated instruments currently in use by NASA’s Curiosity and Perseverance rovers – as well as some newer lab equipment planned for future analysis – in the Mars analogue of the Atacama Desert. We call these terrestrial environments “Mars analogue” sites. In astrobiology, we study the diversity of life in sites on Earth with environmental or physical features that resemble regions already described on Mars. ![]() New research published today in Nature Communications suggests the rovers’ current equipment might not actually be up to the task of finding evidence of life.Īs an extreme environment microbiologist, the challenges of searching for life where it seems near-impossible are familiar to me.
