![]() ![]() I felt it was worth a little extra patience to get that perfectly crisp outside, however if you are planning to pop your waffles in the toaster to crisp them up before serving (a handy trick for small waffles), letting them be a little less cooked might be better. The waffles were completely cooked at about 3 minutes, but the exterior remained soft unless they got a little extra time on the iron. It took about 4 minutes to cook my waffles until they were crisp on the outside and completely cooked inside. It heated evenly and produced waffles that were uniformly brown, though the batter didn’t quite always make it to the outer edges (I chronically underfill my waffle makers, apparently) and the coloration was a touch lighter there. I found my waffles released easily from the iron both when I greased the iron and when I did not. The Dash heats up quickly and the nonstick surface works very well. It does, however, mean that you need to plug it in to preheat about 2 minutes before you’re ready to use it and that you must remember to unplug the machine when you’re done. It does not have a on-off switch or any audible indicator, but that is true of some larger machines and not something I mind much. ![]() It has an indicator light on the top that lights up when you plug in the machine, then clicks off when the iron is hot. The waffle iron is so small and lightweight that it almost looks like a toy at first glance, but the waffle iron has a surprisingly heavy duty nonstick iron inside once you open it up. As a waffle fan with a Belgian-style waffle iron that I really like, I wondered how the Dash stacked up to its full size competitors and ordered one so I could give it a try. It comes in a variety of colors and has a price tag right around $10 – making it a perfect impulse purchase, whether you’re shopping online or see it in the store. The pint-size waffle maker is just a bit bigger than the palm of your hand and produce 4-inch waffles that are almost too cute to eat. The Instant Pot might have been one of the popular holiday kitchen gifts last season, but the Dash Mini Waffle Maker has consistently been a best seller this year. ![]() ![]() The invention of the first working transistor set the stage for all subsequent solid-state device developments. It’s hard to imagine any field of human endeavor where it has not had a profound positive impact from communications, computing, transportation, medical, etc. The transistor has been cited as the most important invention of the 20th Century. The innovation revolutionized the electronics field and eventually ushered in the information age via small, low power electronic devices and eventually low cost integrated circuits. This was beginning of solid state electronics which quickly reduced the size and power requirements of existing electronic tube-based electronic devices. Shockley - discovered the principle of the transistor and developed and demonstrated a point-contact germanium transistor. Bardeen - under the direction of William B. Moreover, they are very sensitive to touch and integrate well with guitar volume knobs and tone knobs.From 17 November to 23 December 1947, Walter H. This means that they are smoother and have a mid-range boost. Fuzz pedals that are made with germanium transistors also tend to lean on the amp overdrive side. Some guitarists actually freeze their fuzz pedals before use because it gives them more volume and better fuzz. Germanium transistors are also very sensitive to temperature which allows guitarists to adjust audio tone as they please. However, this diminishes the intensity of music notes. Moreover, these pedals clip audio signals into square waves to create a massive amount of harmonic saturation. Fuzz pedals help achieve a special type of distortion with harmonic overtones that guitarists seek. Germanium transistors are a key fundamental in building fuzz pedals. The limitations that germanium had in the electronics industry proved beneficial in the music industrial guitar pedals. The germanium semiconductor offers the best method to achieve certain levels of distortion, fuzz, and overdrive characteristics. This is due to their ability to produce vintage-inspired tones. However, germanium transistors have niche value in the music industry. The semiconductor industry has effectively replaced germanium with silicon as a cheaper, more efficient alternative. The “PNP” works the same way but adjusts the holes in the base instead of electrons, which is essentially the identical inverse of the “PNP” transistor. The “NPN” resistor works by adjusting the electrons in the base and in turn adjusting the current in the collector. They are arranged in alternation, such as “PNP” or “NPN.” The ‘p’ and ‘n’ denote different types of semiconductor material. Junction transistors have two types of semiconductors attached to them. These transistors are junction transistors. By 1953, high-performance germanium transistors were in use for car radios to amplify weak signals in the atmosphere. The transistor upgraded electronics with a valve that was extremely smaller and used much less power than the vacuum tube. However, vacuum tubes were too large and often overheated to a short life span. ![]() Before the 1950s, vacuum tubes were the defacto choice to control the flow of electrons in most electronics. ![]() PurposeĮlectronic devices were in need of a “faucet-like” valve to allow weaker signals to control a larger flow of electrons. This inspired Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain to use the same concept on a “point-contact” transistor where they replaced the Galena with Germanium and made the first successful transistor. The fine wire is the “Cat’s Whisker” and is put on a germanium crystal which finds a point of contact. The early radios had signal detectors made with Galena (lead sulfide crystals) in the form of a fine wire. Physicists William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain had made a breakthrough. This led to the first successful build of a germanium transistor in 1947 at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. This need kicked off the “semiconductor age” and the necessity for faster computing arose afterward. It was not until after World War II that the need for high-frequency rectifiers surged the demand for higher resolution in radar receivers. ![]() Germanium was discovered as a valuable semiconductor in 1886 by Clemens Winkler. In this article, you will learn about the history of the germanium transistor, its purpose, and pinout. Its technology would become the building blocks of modern electronics. The discovery of the germanium transistor ushered in a new age of computing. As civilization grows bigger, technological developments get smaller in size. ![]() ![]() Suddenly the time and energy required to clean up after an ox seems a lot more worth it.100% Cotton 100% cotton 100% Polyester 'Twas Advent Amber Kemp-Gerstel Americana Apples Applique Ariga Mahmoudlou At Waters Edge Autumn Baby Baby Quilt Kit Bag Kit Batiks Bats Bears Bee Basics Bee Vintage Beginner Beverly McCullough Big Game Birds Black Blue BOM Bonnie Sullivan Bright Stars Butterflies Calico Calico Garden Christina Cameli Christmas Christmas Quilt Kit Clearance Color Therapy Cook Book Cuddle Kit Cup of Cheer Dahlias Dr. Either way, that limitation wouldn't be a good thing at all. I doubt many farmers are using oxen these days! So, without an ox they save on the time and effort spent cleaning the barn, but they also limit their harvest, limiting either the food they produce for their own family or how much they could sell. Well, it would have been in Bible times, anyway. On the flip side, though, without an ox to pull the farming equipment, the land they could farm would be severely limited. Obviously, if a farmer didn't have any oxen in the stable, they'd save a lot of time and effort keeping it clean! I'm thinking there would be a lot of time spent removing manure, which doesn't sound like it would be much fun. I don't even remember ever visiting a stable that housed oxen, but I can imagine such a stable is not an easy place to keep clean. I smiled recently when I read "Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest" (Proverbs 14:4). It's full of little wise snippets about living well, so it's a practical book, plus most of the proverbs are easily understood, so it's not at all a hard book to read. Being aware of our own attitude could do wonders for our enjoyment of our work, as a general principle. If I'm focused on what I'd rather be doing, there's not much joy in my day at all. ![]() Usually, whether or not I enjoy the day has less to do with the kids and more to do with my attitude. I would like to purchase the pattern or book of the Let It Snow pattern. ![]() On the days I do enjoy my time with the kids, though, the day goes by faster and there's just a lot more joy. About Heather Peterson Quilt pattern designer View. Not to mention it's work and I'd rather be doing something fun like quilting or reading. It can be monotonous, for sure, and it can be irritating. I have to confess that I don't always enjoy my work. Instead, Solomon says that it is people who enjoy their work and accept their lot in life who are too busy enjoying life for anything else to get in the way. After all, we all know there isn't a person alive who has no troubles their entire life. It's not even that they don't have any troubles. So what is it that Solomon says gives people this kind of life? It's not that they have everything money can buy or that they never have to work a day in their lives. Fat Quarter Shop features the latest quilting fabric collections including Snowed In by Heather Peterson for Riley Blake Designs. I love that last sentence! "God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past." That's the kind of person I want to be! I want to be so busy enjoying the life I have that I don't have time to brood, or focus negatively, on anything. ![]() God keeps such people so busy enjoying life that they take no time to brood over the past" (Ecclesiastes 5:18-20). To enjoy your work and accept your lot in life-this is indeed a gift from God. And it is a good thing to receive wealth from God and the good health to enjoy it. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life. "Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. But then suddenly at the end of chapter 5, he takes a different view. Solomon writes a lot about everything being meaningless, "like chasing the wind" he says in chapter 1, verse 14. I am currently reading a chapter of Ecclesiastes each morning. I'll still be sharing quilt posts over the summer, but it's nice to take some time and just let my Bible reading thoughts steep for a while rather than needing a new devotion every week □ I may sometimes re-post an old devotion, but I haven't decided for sure if I'll be doing that. ![]() Before I go into today's devotion, I want to let you know that this will be my last new devotion until September as it has become my tradition to take the summer off from devotion writing. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s extremely tastefully decorated with marble floors and bathrooms, lots of wood and soaring ceilings. It nestles next to the enormous Mandalay Bay at the southern end of The Strip, but offers a tranquil alternative to that mega-resort. The Four Seasons is another classic choice, although its incarnation in Vegas is actually seen as an exclusive secret. The fabulous style and range of facilities make it the ideal place for gay travelers on their first trip to Sin City. With sunken living areas, cloud-comfort beds, rich color accents and all the amenities you need, your suite will become a home away from home. Even though you’re in one of 4000 rooms, it doesn’t feel like they’ve phoned it in. Glide around on the gondolas, bask surrounded by palms on the neo-classical pool deck, shop and eat to your heart’s content in the Grand Canal Shoppes, or explore the 10 outdoor pools.Įventually, you might make your way back to your room amidst this wealth of distractions. It’s got style and character in abundance, and there’s always something new for guests to see or do. Famous for its incredibly intricate recreation of Venice’s Grand Canal, Rialto Bridge and Saint Mark’s Square, as well as the interior’s homage to the Sistine Chapel, the décor is astounding. We loved the entertainment by the outdoor pool and the on-site nightclubs if you do drag yourself away from the facilities here, the Strip is mere moments away.įrom understated elegance to pure, decadent glamour, The Venetian is justifiably the byword for Las Vegas livin’ around the world. Each one has at least 2 TVs (no fighting over the remote!) and a work area, should you need to get down to business while you’re on your Vegas trip. The interior of the towering Encore building is elegant and opulent without being over the top, and the suites are spacious with a contemporary design. It’s such a simple and inclusive approach we’re amazed more places aren’t offering it! Of course, it helps that this program goes hand-in-hand with an absolutely stunning hotel with luxurious accommodation options, amazing restaurants and the ideal spa to relax after a tense few hours in the casino! This enormous 5-star hotel and casino is setting a new bar for gay-friendly hotels in Las Vegas with its Pride Concierge service specifically to help LGBT travelers find the best gay nightlife, events and entertainment around the city. Essentially everything you need is here: you could come to Vegas and never leave the Palms (we recommend you try to at least once, of course!). ![]() If you’re saving money for your cocktails, go to the 24-hour food court if you’ve won big on the slot machines, head up the tower to the Michelin-starred Alize. Unwind after all the gambling and dancing at the luxury spa, or enjoy the mixed hammam. Oh, yeah, and there are rooms, too! 703 of them, to be precise, ranging from the minimalist standard rooms in the Ivory Tower to the (in)famous suites designed for bachelor/ette parties that include pools, bowling alleys and jazzy colors. Nightclubs and the famous Sky Villas live in the ‘Fantasy Tower’, the Pearl Theatre hosts pop divas, and the art in the new KOAS ‘entertainment experience’ (including work by Damien Hirst) makes the Palms stand out. Opened in 2001, it has only grown since then, and a multimillion-dollar renovation from 2016 to 2019 has put it at the forefront of Vegas entertainment.

It is pricier than a regular car, but Costa Rica has very few regular roads…when you are driving up a steep hillside on a newly-flattened dirt road, you will be glad for that extra traction! Equally, there are no road names, very few signs and generally lots of surprises along the way – best to be prepared and everything will then be much smoother.Īlso, definitely hire a 4×4. We never usually bother, however phone internet coverage in Costa Rica is almost non-existent and you cannot connect to maps on your handset. If you decide to self drive (which I recommend, we had a great experience) definitely rent a sat nav too. Having our own transport made everything much easier and meant we could stock up on some gluten free Costa Rica adventure essentials from supermarkets and keep them in the back of the car. I genuinely missed it when we left!Ĭosta Rica has much better infrastructure than the guide books give it credit for, however we wanted to pack a lot into our two weeks so we hired a 4×4 jeep to drive ourselves around (we hired from Sixt San Jose – they were brilliant, even when our incoming flight was delayed by 4 hours they stayed open late for us on a Sunday night). It’s a very filling breakfast and would keep me going long into the afternoon. Give staff your gluten free restaurant card to make sure there’s nothing gluteny going in with the rice and beans, but I had this every single day and didn’t get glutened at all. ![]() Asking for “ desayuno tico sin pan o tortilla” (traditional breakfast without bread or flour tortillas) gets you gallo pinto (rice and beans stirfried with various spices), scrambled eggs (“ huevos revueltos“) and fried plantain, often with a side serving of fresh fruit. Gluten free bread is not readily available in many parts of Costa Rica, but that’s not a problem as the traditional Costa Rican breakfast is rice-based and is delicious. ![]() Having print outs, rather than just displaying the text on your phone, makes life a lot easier as staff can take a copy back to the chefs in the kitchen. I rely heavily on these when abroad and it’s very useful to have a few with you to give to restaurant staff when you don’t speak the local language. Take some Spanish language restaurant card print outsĭespite my husband’s reassurance that he speaks Spanish, it quickly transpired that he had over exaggerated somewhat and we stumbled our way through the language with the help of my trusty coeliac gluten free restaurant cards from Celiac Travel. I had no problem at all as a coeliac travelling around Costa Rica and I would go back in a flash. It often helps at breakfast to stress that you don’t want any toast with your meal, as they sometimes add it on even if not on the menu. Many meals centre around rice, beans, meat, vegetable and fresh fruit, all of which are naturally gluten free. Generally it is very easy to stick to a gluten free diet in Costa Rica. Gluten Free Costa Rica Overview – being coeliac or gluten free in Costa Rica Here are my top tips on how to THRIVE as a coeliac in Costa Rica, along with some gluten free restaurant suggestions and travel recommendations. I had no idea how I would get on as a coeliac in the country, but with a suitcase full of gluten free snacks we set off for a two week adventure.
