![]() ![]() As my train travelled through the mountainous Rhône Valley in southern Switzerland, it was plain to see what this region is known for.Tucking into some cheese fondue in a traditional Swiss restaurant © Getty Images / iStockphoto Fall in love with hot cheese Terraced vineyards carpeted the slopes, while fruit trees covered the valley floor: apple, pear and especially apricot, from which the area makes its famous schnapps, Abricotine. The people in the Swiss canton of Valais are rightly proud of their home-grown products. The Rhone Valley in southern Switzerland is famous for its terraced vineyards and home-grown produce (Credit: Karl Thomas/Getty Images) And so it’s perhaps no surprise that they are now embracing a home-grown way to buy them. In May 2017, a group of Valais residents launched a new regional currency. Like the UK’s Bristol pound and the the Franco-Spanish Basque region's Eusko, it’s a complementary rather than replacement currency. Its banknotes are worth the same as Swiss francs – the country’s official currency – but can only be spent in participating businesses in the Valais, which so far includes more than 150 restaurants, artisans, farm shops and wineries. It’s a local initiative, backed by local people, that aims to boost the local economy, so it is apt that it’s been given a name with such local meaning: Farinet. The name Farinet is common in Valais towns: it’s a restaurant in Crans-Montana, a pub in Champéry, and an après-ski bar in Verbier where skiers dance on tables in their thermals. Tourists may not realise its significance, but locals know that all those popular nightspots are so called because their namesake, Joseph-Samuel Farinet, probably would have enjoyed dancing on tables himself.įarinet was a roguish charmer, lover of wine and an infamous 19th-Century counterfeiter (Credit: Caroline Bishop)Ī roguish charmer, a lover of wine and women and an escaped convict, Farinet was a 19th-Century counterfeiter and a legend in these parts, even if the myth that now surrounds him is more colourful than the reality.Īfter fleeing from authorities in his native Italy where he was wanted on counterfeit charges, Farinet arrived in the Valais in 1869 and once again began minting fake money – specifically, 20 centime coins dated 1850. To court favour with the poverty-stricken locals, he was generous with his forged currency, in return gaining food, shelter and protection from the authorities who pursued him. In doing so, he not only evaded capture for many years but also liberated local people from debt, something that later earned him the nickname ‘Robin Hood of the Alps’. The new regional currency was named after Joseph-Samuel Farinet, a known counterfeiter and a local hero (Credit: lefarinet.ch) In 1880, at the age of 35, Farinet was finally cornered by police in a gorge above the medieval Valais village of Saillon where he fell, jumped or was possibly killed – a mysterious death that only added to the intrigue of his life.

![]() If that's all you got from that then this conversation is pointless because you have trouble with reading comprehension. However he did miss his deadline and that is literally the only truth you provided. He never outright lied on any social media he just never addressed that he missed deadlines, he never forced anyone to harass anyone. A very small minority of Fans did it themselves and overreact, even in the open letter from Marty starton the executive producer he wrote and he addressed saying that himself & mick condemn and don’t accept any of the harassment sent to chad and other ID employees. He NEVER explicitly sent or told anyone to attack ID employees at all! He never sent anyone to attack anyone. Someone asked him in instagram if he’d ever work for ID again and mick said “we probably won’t work together again” most people took what he said out of context and over reacted causing a small minority of fans to harass the audio lead chad. What actually happened from start to ending is that Someone noticed the weird mixing and asked mick on Twitter, Mick replied and said he didn’t mix most of those tracks. Mick did miss his deadlines yes, but everyone else you said is soo inaccurate that it makes Fox News look like the truth. That’s so far from what actually happened.

Once the temperature hits 180 degrees F, you can press and hold he power button.The temperature read-out on the controller will start to fall. ![]() You'll start to hear the grill sound like it's "pushing" air through the system and the auger won't dump pellets anymore.Dial the temperature down to 180 degrees Fahrenheit and leave the lid open.Once your food is done, you need to follow the shut-down process: With that said, I also understand why it's necessary. I will note that the shut down process was a bit different from other pellet grills. Initially as the pellets ignite it will create A LOT of smoke, this is normal. Upon setting the temperature, leave the lid open and the auger will begin feeding the fire chamber with pellets. However, you could also use the standard mode which has more of a temperature swing (results in more smoke due to smoldering of the pellets).Ĥ. The Silverbac Alpha features a PID controller which allows you to digitally set a temperature and maintain a +/- 5 degree Fahrenheit difference. If you opt to use a different type of wood based on the meat like brisket or ribs, it's easy to add and remove pellets.ģ. Note: The Silverbac hopper features a pellet dump. Simply dump the pellets in and you're done. In the case of the Silverbac, it has a 20-lb pellet hopper. ![]() Regardless of brand, most pellet grills essentially work like this:Ģ. Not to mention, if you buy from a manufacturer that actually cares about their products, it will last you much longer. If you're someone who is on the fence about owning a pellet grill, don't be, I'd wager to say that they're easier to care for and operate than Gas Grills. You simply dial a knob and it outputs the temperature, similar to a range or oven. One of the biggest reasons people invest in gas-powered grills is because of how easy they are to use. Grilla Grills notes that this is entirely normally. The grill can give off a slight odor during this initial seasoning/burn-in time. The above process pre-primes the auger with pellets and the high temperatures helps to cure the high-temperature paint.

It’s therefore logical to assume that there are optical quality reasons as to why I’m now using the 85/1.8 G instead. ![]() You’ll also know that despite trying multiple samples, I was never quite happy with the performance of this lens on the D800E mainly due to lateral chromatic aberration wide open, and so-so edge performance. Regular readers of my site will know that I was originally a huge fan of the 85/1.4 G, especially on the D700 for it’s sharpness, quality of bokeh and incredible ability to shoot into direct light sources with minimal to no flare. Even the new 50/1.8 G employs asphericals! There’s no Nano-crystal coating, no ED glass (let alone Super ED glass) and no aspherical elements. All it has is internal focusing and the silent wave motor – that’s it. At this point, it’s worth noting that unlike Nikon’s newer optical designs, it’s remarkably free of any exotic technology – whilst the bottom of most lenses now play host to entire essays in abbreviations about Nikon’s lensmaking prowess, the 85/1.8G is remarkably clean. As far as I can tell, the front and rear elements (possibly more than one) are fixed, and the rest move back and forth. This complex formula has two benefits: firstly, lower chromatic aberration because there’s that extra element there for correction secondly, internal focusing is now possible (the previous design focused by moving the entire optical assembly back and forth, like all double-Gauss designs). It doesn’t seem to be any heavier, though – and noticeably lighter than the 85/1.4 G. The images are to scale, too – note increase in size. Note far more complex rear group the pairs of lenses do effectively the same thing as the single lenses in the earlier design. The D is on the left, the G is on the right. As far as I can tell, the same basic optical principles apply, except every single element in the rear group has been replaced with an achromatic doublet of sorts not a true achromatic doublet because there’s an air gap between neighbouring elements. The elements in front of the iris ostensibly retain the double Gauss formula, but everything afterwards is new. The old lens was made first in Japan, and then Thailand since 2010.) The 85/1.8 D was a simple double Gauss design with 6 elements in 6 groups the new one uses a 9/9 optical formula. ![]() ![]() (It’s also now made in China, which might have something to do with it. Unusually for Nikon, the new version doesn’t cost a lot more ($50, give or take a bit) than the old one doubly unusually, it isn’t a warmed-over cosmetically-modified version, either. The Nikon AFS 85/1.8 G (released at the start of this year) is a slightly odd product. ![]() Choose the file you want to convert, and click the ‘download’ button.

Her salary was $16 a month for three months of 22 days each. Henry knew I had gone to Normal School," she later recalled. "I got a good certificate, partly because Supt. Nevertheless the instruction was good and after one term, which ended in the spring of 1868, Abbie returned home and was hired to teach at what she called the Blue's school. ![]() When she commenced her studies there in December, 1867, the school was barely a year old and consequently not large. Afterwards she taught, and then attended Keystone State Normal at Kutztown, now Kutztown State College. When Abbie was 15 she enrolled in the Danville Institute, two-and -one-half miles from her home. The daughters of the family, Abbie, Rebecca, Penina, and Mary, stayed home to help their mother with her hospital aid work. Dennis and Philip were severely wounded during the conflict and Hiram contracted a serious disease which resulted in his early discharge. "No farm in Valey Township had such a variety of fruit, and so many flowers, as we had."Ĭhildhood was pleasant in Pennsylvania but when Abbie was 12 the Civil War broke out and her three brothers, Dennis, Hiram, and Philip, enlisted. "It was a fine farm home," Abbie wrote many years later in an autobiographical sketch. Her parents were Peter and Mary (Evans) Bright who had moved onto their 180 acres in 1833. She did tour her West and the record of her trip was recorded in the diary published here.Ībbie had been born on December 17, 1848, on a farm near Danville, Pa. She accepted the restrictions which society placed upon those of her sex. She was a woman with a sense of propriety but also with a determined mind and a yen for adventure. Instead it was necessary to visit relatives and friends along the way in order for virtue to be protected by the men of the family.Ībbie Bright was no ordinary Victorian female. In 1870 the fruition of such a desire was not easily attained for single girls did not just pack their bags and roam the country unescorted as some were doing 100 years later. NOTE: The numbers in brackets are links to footnotes for this text.Īt 21, Pennsylvania-born Abbie Bright had a great desire to see the American West, which to her was that part of the country west of her native state. Unlike the rest of the series, Chain of Memories features a real-time card-based combat system, which is as strange as it sounds. The gameplay of Chain of Memories is the biggest obstacle for people who want to play the entire series. The Disney worlds are the same as the first Kingdom Hearts this time around, as Sora is technically visiting memories of them, with slightly different stories. ![]() Riku and Mickey find their way to the castle as well, as Riku tries to come to terms with the darkness that he faced in Kingdom Hearts. All the while, everybody’s memories are being altered by Naminé, a secretive girl who mostly just makes crayon drawings in a notebook. ![]() Originally released on the Gameboy Advance, a PS2 remake would later come out (after Kingdom Hearts II’s release) featuring voice-acting and an enormous graphical overhaul.Ĭhain of Memories starts right after Kingdom Hearts, following Sora, Donald, and Goofy as they wander around a mysterious castle, dubbed Castle Oblivion, while being attacked by members of the mysterious Organization XIII. This is the entry a lot of older fans didn’t know they had to play before Kingdom Hearts II came out. Kingdom Hearts (Re:) Chain of Memories (2004 on Gameboy Advance, 2008 on PS2.) (The PS2 version is part of the Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD Remix collection) Even though it isn’t the first game in-terms of the timeline (as a prequel exists), you should definitely play Kingdom Hearts first, as it’s the best introduction to the insanity to come. The combat is clunkier than in future entries, but still functional and rather fun. The story, while silly, is pretty easy to understand at this point in the franchise. The first game is the most Disney oriented game of the franchise, and ties classic Disney villains like Jafar and Captain Hook into the main plot outside of their respective worlds. Kingdom Hearts is all about Sora, Donald, and Goofy travelling to different worlds based on multiple Disney movies in search of Mickey and Riku. The main enemies of the series, the Heartless, are introduced here as well, alongside Sleeping Beauty’s Maleficent, who plays a large role in the overall plot as the series goes on. Mickey Mouse is shown to be a King, with Donald and Goofy as his loyal companions. This is the game that introduces the three primary characters of Kingdom Hearts, Sora, Riku, and Kairi. You need to play the first Kingdom Hearts to get into the series. ![]() Kingdom Hearts (2002) (Part of the Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 HD Remix collection) As someone who has played the series since childhood, and at one point hosted a podcast and fansite for the series (hey, we were all teenagers once), I’m here to tell you which games you really need to play, which games you can skip, and what order you should do this all in. While these can be handy, it’s understandable that there are a lot of people who want to actually play the games before they get in on the Kingdom Hearts III hype. Over the last few weeks, you’ve likely seen plenty of summaries of Kingdom Hearts as a series. ![]() What’s the Snap feature?įireAlpaca has a useful ‘Snap’ feature, which creates a number of perspective overlays, including Radial, Crisscross, Parallel, and Vanishing Point.
