![]() With high-quality materials, a complete seal for safety, and easy cleaning, these replacement parts offer convenience and value. The New Blender Cup and Blade Replacement Parts are a great investment for NutriBullet owners who want to renew their blending experience without purchasing an entirely new unit. Concerns about potential failure in the future.Still, for making quick protein shakes at the gym or blending up simple smoothies while away from home, we highly recommend this model. This is a blender for one, so don’t expect to make super-sized smoothies or pulverize tons of solid ingredients. The only downside is the limited capacity. It’s powerful enough to crush entire ice cubes. It comes in a range of fun colors (even more than the original version). The next-generation model, after the BlendJet 1, the BlendJet 2, offers a larger capacity blending cup (16 ounces), more power, and longer battery life. It is battery-operated and recharges via a USB-C cable, so it can be charged in the car or plugged into a laptop and used to blend anywhere, no electricity required. The blender cup and base function as a single unit and can easily be tossed in a gym bag, large purse, or even luggage. PROSĭesigned with portability in mind, the BlendJet 2 can go anywhere you want. The blender has a 200-watt motor, so it’s not as powerful as some, but it’s sufficient for smoothies, shakes, and sauces. One has four prongs, and the other has two. Two grinding blades are included as well. Tribest also offers an XL version (19-piece set) if you want even larger cup options. It also includes its own large and small cups with cup lids, as well as mason jars, mason jar lids, and a commuter lid, so you’ll have plenty of options for blending large or small amounts. Many reviewers found it very easy to attach their mason jars, although some note that the mason jar adapter can sometimes get stuck to the blade mechanism, which may make it tricky to remove. This blender is designed to work with standard mason jars, so you can blend and drink right out of jars you are already using with the mason jar adapter. Most portable blenders use proprietary cups or jars for blending, and extras can be expensive when you need more jars for the whole family or guests. A lower-wattage machine won’t be able to handle thick, frozen cocktails, sorbets, and granitas. The higher the wattage, the more versatile your machine will be. Opt for the most powerful motor you can afford when choosing a blender. The high-performance blenders weigh in at an average whopping 1,300 watts. The average kitchen blender boasts between 300 and 600 watts of power. Motor Size :Īs with juicers, the power of the motor is important for blending hard and fibrous vegetables. The ability to reduce from a high speed to a very low speed allows you to add ingredients at the end of blending that you don’t want to be liquidized or puréed into the rest of the mixture. ![]() Variable Speeds :īeing able to start the blender at a slow speed and gradually increase it to high puts less stress on the motor. Without the pulsing button on your blender, you will have to stop and mix up the ice before starting the motor again. The ice falls into the blades when paused and is ground up again when the blades begin to spin. If you plan to make iced drinks, sorbets, or granites, a pulsing button is essential. This protects the motor from overworking. The drive socket should be easy and inexpensive to replace because it may be stripped down if something blocks the blades from turning. Look for stainless steel drive sockets, blades, and blade driveshafts because plastic wears out quickly. If you plan to make use of the blender frequently, you’d want to keep the blender on top of the counter, so height, size, and appearance will be a consideration in addition to other features: Drive Socket and Blades: Blenders are different, but people sometimes forget that different features make each make and model unique, or even better. ![]() ![]() I didn't need to watch my Sim play the Sims (and probably have a better time doing it) and I definitely didn't need Sim-Chris having a better life than Chris-Chris. I not only stopped playing The Sims but I uninstalled it. Then my Sim-Chris sat down at his virtual PC (which looked like a better PC than I owned) and started playing a game, and I thought "What if he's playing The Sims?" That was enough. It suddenly seemed ridiculous, even repulsive, that I was neglecting my own life in favor of making a better life for fake-me. Very late one night I was making sure the virtual me had washed his dishes, paid his bills, and had gotten enough sleep, and I realized I myself had not washed my dishes, paid my bills, or gotten enough sleep. That was the end of D2 for me.Ĭhris Livingston, staff writer: Pretty sure I've told this story before, but back when The Sims first came out I played it obsessively, creating a Sims version of me, getting him a job, moving him into a little house, and managing his life. It was fun! But seeing that photo, I realized that it was also Really Not Good. I think it was taken near the end of a week-long vacation that I'd used for a non-stop Diablo 2 binge. It also just made me really sad, so it was time to move on! Diablo 2Īndy Chalk, news writer: Many years ago, I was presented with a photo of myself sitting naked in a chair, unshaven, hair long and scraggly, cigarette burning in an ashtray overflowing with butts, surrounding by empty Coke cans, and here and there, dirty food wrappers. If someone died during my run I would immediately quit and restart it from the beginning, considering it a failure. It's a pretty brutal game in terms of subject matter and difficulty but I remember playing through every one of its scenarios trying to save all the characters. When it first came out it was like nothing I had played before and it completely swept me away. Rachel Watts, staff writer: I put so many hours into This War of Mine. In other news, I started a new Titan in Destiny 2. I’m scared of where that line of reasoning leads, so I uninstalled AdVenture Capitalist. ![]() Destiny 2, Diablo 3, The Division 2: they’re all just very pretty clickers. If I play one for too long, my mind drifts into loftier realizations. Still, the pointlessness of the exercise is laid bare in clickers. Watching numbers go up is fun, OK? It’s a time-honored tradition in video games. Morgan Park, freelance writer: I’ve never had a problem tearing myself away from a game, but I have felt repulsed by my recent interest in clicker games like AdVenture Capitalist. "I uh, well you know I keep busy haha.(Image credit: Hyper Hippo Games) AdVenture Capitalist He meets a new coworker and they ask what he does in his spare time. Years go by, the gamer feels like he blinks and suddenly he's 35. ![]() "Tomorrow for sure" he thinks to himself. He makes some microwave slop and heads to bed. But, it ended up being a long day, maybe just one competitive match to decompress. Maybe tomorrow he will try to read a book instead of gaming. Outside of games, he has no knowledge or opinions on anything beyond what he reads on Reddit while waiting in the queue for his next competitive match. It's not so bad at 25, but by 30 the gamer really starts to notice the widening gap between himself and his peers. The gamer stagnates while others use their free time to develop mentally and gain skills to progress in life. "Pff, normies, they wouldn't understand anyway" he copes. He has nothing except +50 competitive ranking points from his hours of grinding last night. The gamer is sidelined in the conversation. These people are all doing cool things and developing tangible skills in their free time. Allison published 2 novels and is working on another. Roger has a software project that he's building as a side business. Jim brews his own wine and likes to do challenging hikes. The gamer shrinks a bit as the conversation continues around. When these same people meet others who ask them what their hobbies are, they usually just stammer about some BS or say something non-committal like "I dunno I do a lot of things." They don't want to admit they play games because they're subconsciously aware how childish and lame it makes them seem. This isn't something people generally admit when you first meet them, almost like they're embarrassed about it. Despite gamers all over the internet seething about it being a "real hobby" and valid use of time, every time I have found out someone that I know is a gamer they were fairly meek about it, like they didn't want to admit it, even the hardcore ones that play for hours per day. ![]() In this case, whether you are landscaping with flagstone, pea gravel, or boulders, a landscaping expert can come to the rescue so you’re not stuck between a rock and a hard place for long. Sometimes people start landscaping projects and need a pro to finish the job. If your DIY landscaping vision is far outside your skillset (a large rock wall with water flowing down the sides into a bog garden, for example), you want expert advice, or you just don’t have the time, a professional landscaper near you can show you how to make your yard the talk of the town - and then make it so.

![]() ![]() There are two basic types of secondary storage: sequential and direct-access. ![]() Programs and data are kept in auxiliary memory when not in immediate use, so that auxiliary memory is essentially a long-term storage medium. This is achieved by placing the contents of the large, “virtual” memory on a large but slow auxiliary storage device, and bringing portions of it into main memory, as required by the programs, in a way that is transparent to the programmer.Īuxiliary memory (sometimes called secondary storage) is the slowest, lowest-cost, and highest-capacity computer storage area. Virtual memory is a technique whereby the programmer is given the illusion of a very large main memory, when in fact it has only a modest size. With cacheing, a small, fast memory system contains the most frequently used words from a slower, larger main memory. Interleaving involves the use of two or more independent memory systems, combined in a way that makes them appear to be a single, faster system. Two prevalent techniques for increasing effective speed are interleaving and cacheing, while virtual memory is a popular way to increase the effective size. A major goal of the computer architect is to increase the effective speed and size of a memory system without incurring a large cost penalty. ![]() Main memory holds the data to be processed and the instructions that specify what processing is to be done. Normally contained within the processing unit, registers hold data that are involved with the computation currently being performed. Registers are the fastest and most costly storage units in a computer. These types include registers, main memory, and secondary or auxiliary storage. A computer will generally have several different kinds of storage devices, each organized to hold one or more words of data. Bits are conceptually combined into larger units called bytes (usually 8 bits each) and words (usually 8 to 64 bits each). In a digital computer, these are stored in a form known as binary, which means that each datum or instruction is represented by a series of bits. The storage or memory of a computer system holds the data that the computer will process and the instructions that indicate what processing is to be done. The storage system is used to keep data and programs the processor is the unit that controls the operation of the system and carries out various computations the peripheral devices are used to communicate with the outside world and the input/output system allows the previous components to communicate with one another. Over the years, other goals have been added, such as making it easier to run multiple programs concurrently or improving the performance of programs written in higher-level languages.Ī computer system consists of four major components (see illustration): storage, processor, peripherals, and input/output (communication). The architect's main goal has long been to produce a computer that is as fast as possible, within a given set of cost constraints. Architecture consists of those characteristics which affect the design and development of software programs, whereas implementation focuses on those characteristics which determine the relative cost and performance of the system. It is related to, but different from, computer implementation. It is analogous to the architecture of a building, determining the overall organization, the attributes of the component parts, and how these parts are combined. The discipline that defines the conceptual structure and functional behavior of a computer system.

Even a glare from the alpha wolf can be sufficient to cause another wolf in the pack to show obeisance such as tucking in its tail, lowering its body and crawling to the alpha wolf, etc. The alpha wolf displays a very confident stride with tail raised and ears forward. The omega wolf is the lowest ranking member of the pack, subordinate to all others, and often forced to wait for food until the rest of the pack is finished eating. ![]() An aide to the alpha, called the beta wolf, often acts as the caretaker of the pups and the enforcer of the alpha’s decisions. He and the alpha female are the only members of the pack who can mate. Strict hierarchy maintains order within the pack. On occasion, an unrelated wolf will be permitted to become a pack member. Packs consist of a dominant male and female, called the alpha male and the alpha female, together with their offspring or other wolves related to them. It has been said that the wolf pack is one of the strongest social organizations found in nature. The pack is a tightly knit, highly organized group which travels, hunts, protects territory, and raises pups together. After a successful hunt a wolf can go up to two weeks without eating. They eat almost all of the carcass leaving only hair, horns and a few bones. But when they are successful, the wolves gorge, eating up to 20 pounds of meat and gristle per animal. Most hunts by wolf packs are not successful. If the animal makes a spirited fight or if it is fast and can outdistance the pack, the wolves will let it go and look for easier prey. Once the quarry is located, wolves surround the animal, biting it wherever they can, particularly the backside, sides, neck and head. By controlling population growth, taking out the old, the sick and the genetically inferior, wolves help protect the herds that they hunt. Wolves usually hunt at night, looking for the weakest animals in the herd. Their main prey are large herbivores such as deer, moose, and caribou, but they will eat whatever is available. Wolf packs are between two and twenty animals. Like men before the advent of powerful bows and guns, wolves hunt in packs. To hear wolf howls go to The Searching Wolf. Howling, one of the most beautiful and haunting forms of communication in nature, brings the pack together for a hunt, solidifies pack unity, signifies a celebration, or notifies other wolves of the extent of the pack’s territory. Growls threaten or enforce pack hierarchy. Whimpering or whining is often a display of friendliness. ![]() They howl, growl, whimper, whine, bark, and squeal. In very cold weather a wolf will keep warm by curling himself into a ball and tucking his muzzle in his tail. The undercoat will be thicker in cold weather and lighter in warm weather. Wolves survive in very different climates because they have two types of fur: a thick, downy undercoat for insulation and an overcoat of long, guard hairs to repel water and snow. Most countries give legal protection to wolves and most wolf populations are stable or increasing. There are an estimated minimum of 150,000 wolves in more than 37 countries.
![]() I smell like: Right now, as we speak, I actually smell like our fragrance that we just developed. I could probably live with that for forever. We have this herb garden, and I love the natural smell the leaves leave on your hands when crush them and you can still smell the earth in there. That’s one smell I’ve always really enjoyed. If I could have one smell on my hands forever, it would be: The smell of fresh, crushed mint leaves. It smells really nice, it’s a little aromatherapy for me. As far as candles go, it’s my preferred candle. The last thing I smell at night: A Le Labo Santal 26 candle. It tells my brain, Hey, time to start doing, time to start creating. ![]() That first whiff of coffee is what gets my brain going, ten minutes before even taking the first sip. That first cup of coffee, sitting there in the French press, steeping. The first thing I smell in the morning is: Definitely coffee, that’s the one thing. It smells just like the fun times I had baking cupcakes as a kid and, now, as a parent, having that fresh cup of coffee to be able to keep up with them. I have an amazing family, two sons and one daughter and an amazing wife, and that’s what’s been keeping them entertained with everything going on. My home smells like: A combination of fresh-baked cupcakes and freshly made coffee. Amalfi Coast, just unwinding, watching that guy come out of the water with the octopus, the sun is shining, but it’s not too hot … it’s just perfect. That specific combo of salty air and fresh grill smell it’s taking me back right there right now. That smell that you get when the breeze is pulling the ocean smell and you catch the smell of grilled seafood being made right there, beachside. My ideal vacation smells like: The Mediterranean. It smells like stale paper that’s been left in an old trunk, like things just sitting there. Regret smells like: An old, stuffy room that hasn’t been opened in years. It also has this earthiness to it where you want that smell to last. There’s a sweetness to it, but it’s also a deep smell that has this depth to it, which mirrors the amount of work and effort you have to put in to achieve success. It’s not quite there yet, but it’s something that can still cut you. Heartbreak or loss smells like: A very distinct smell that’s again related to weather: that smell right before a big snowfall, where you’re outside and you can feel the temperature changing, but there’s this sharpness to the air, there’s this icy feeling. Similarly, I have those friendships where we don’t talk for years and years, and you jump on call and everything feels super-familiar instantly, never intimidating. It’s also a very distinct smell that everyone recognizes. Whether it’s turbulent at times or not, they’re always there for you in the end. It’s fresh, easy, and new, and it’s how I view that true kind of friendship. It’s exciting but quite easy and comforting at the same time there’s no stress around it.įriendship smells like: That smell right after it rains in the summer, when the sun comes right back out and you get that rejuvenated smell. ![]() It’s another happy smell but it’s not forced - there’s an ease to it, and love reminds me of that. Love smells like: Lavender, because it’s soothing and embracing. It’s got an energy and a freshness to it that I associate with happiness. Happiness smells like: Lemon, or a citrusy smell where it’s very light and energetic, and it has this crispness to it. Summertime took an entire year to get there, and that was the craziest part about it as a kid. It’s all about fun and being outside, the whole thing. Every time I smell that, it takes me back to my youth and remembering that excitement of Oh my God, summer’s here. My first scent memory is: That fresh-cut grass smell the smell of summer. The Cut recently caught up with Sanz to talk rain-soaked earth, freshly baked cupcakes, and a relaxing Le Labo candle. Today, the brand launched two men’s fragrances that travel as well as their luggage: Awaken, an energizing boost to start the day, and Unwind, a finishing touch to reset once you reach your destination. Next up is Victor Sanz, creative director of travel-and-lifestyle brand Tumi. In Scent Memories, the Cut asks people about the scents they associate with different times in their lives. Scientific studies confirm that, of all the senses, smell offers the best recall. Yielding also applies when merging onto highways or entering roundabouts (for more context, check out our guide on the difference between a highway and a freeway) drivers should always give way to those already on the road before entering themselves. ![]() When approaching an intersection with multiple lanes of traffic, yield signs are often used as indicators for which lane has the right of way at any given time. This helps ensure that all drivers are aware of each other’s presence and can safely navigate the area without causing any accidents or delays.

What trends are you dying to incorporate into your renovations this year? They don’t want to lose it and therefore they are more likely to pay list or even over list in a multiple-offer situation. A stale house results in the buyers low-balling on their offer versus a buyer who sees a house that is fair market value on the first week it hits the market. If a seller decides to price WAY above the other comparables, and it sits on the market, the house can become stale. What are the biggest reasons sellers wouldn’t get the price they wanted for their house?īecause they listed too high to begin with. I highly recommend hiring a stager or designer to come over to either stage or at least work with the furniture you already have to configure it in a way that makes your house look its best. How can sellers stage their home to raise its value? Incentives are nice and keep everyone motivated to stay on schedule. I’ve had clients offer bonuses to their contractors to meet certain deadlines. I think by budgeting and having realistic expectations on the front end, you are more likely to meet the deadlines. What can homeowners do to ensure the renovation is completed on-time? There are lots of great options that are really inexpensive and with online options now, shopping for the deals is much easier.
