People’s obsession with espresso martinis has also benefited Kahlúa’s bottom line. It’s a relatively young drink, reportedly invented at a London bar in the 1980s when a model asked for a drink to “wake me up and f–k me up,” inventor and famed bartender Dick Bradsell once said. The espresso martini is a mix of vodka, coffee liqueur and espresso. “The elegance of the espresso martini elevates your cocktail experience at a bar or restaurant, and it also serves as an impressive after-dinner cocktail when entertaining guests at home.”Ģ022 was the year of the espresso martini. “Spirits consumers are drawn to the simplicity and decadence of this cocktail,” she said. Lisa Hawkins, senior vice president for public affairs for the Distilled Spirits Council, told CNN Business that the “convergence of two major US consumer trends: Americans’ affinity for high-end coffee and cocktail culture” explains why it’s having a moment. It’s not just nostalgia espresso martinis’ renaissance. The espresso martini has even displaced the classic Manhattan, a bourbon-based cocktail, in the top 10.ĬGA by NielsenIQ, which tracks cocktails sales at US bars, reported that the margarita remains the country’s top-selling cocktail. The coffee-flavored drink has experienced such a resurgence that it has entered the top 10 list of most ordered cocktails at US bars this year, according to research firm CGA by Nielsen IQ. It might be 2022, but people are still ordering espresso martinis like it’s the 90s. “OK, Google, skip backward 30 seconds.”.“OK, Google, play the song that goes, ‘Guilty feet have got no rhythm'”. “OK, Google, clear all Bluetooth devices”.“OK, Google, what’s on my shopping list?”Ĭommands to make or receive phone calls/ remotely use your phone.“OK, Google, add to my shopping list.”.“OK, Google, remember that I put my driving license in the top drawer”.“OK, Google, how much time is left on my timer?”.“OK, Google, set a second timer for ” or “OK, Google, set a spaghetti timer for.“OK, Google, set an alarm for ” or “OK, Google, set an alarm for every day at.“OK, Google, what’s the time in San Francisco?”.“OK, Google, what are my notifications?”Ĭommands that have to do with time and setting alarms.“OK, Google, what’s next on my calendar?”.“OK, Google new calendar event” or “OK, Google, schedule for me on Saturday at 8 p.m.”.“OK, Google, how’s the weather in Malibu?”.“OK, Google, tell me about my day” or “OK, Google, good morning.” (You will get a personalized greeting, info on weather, traffic, reminders, calendar entries, flight status and curated news stories.).Before saying any of the below, don’t forget to first utter the word ‘Hey Google’ in order to wake it up.

One instance, he'd recall something and regret his behavior as a god, and then another moment, he'd argue he was entitled to do so, even without reason. It's not predictable at all and quite unusual. It's interesting to see how Riordan has chosen to allow Apollo to look back to his godly days and regret every now and then. Even with the first person narrative in PJO, we had a number of sub-plots while moving towards doomsday, but ToA appears to have no sub-plots so far. Unlike in PJO and HoO, the storyline seems to be moving along the main plot line. I liked all the new characters, and hope at least some of them will make re-appearances down the line. Environs of Commodianapolis was interesting, and I have no complaints. "Defense Plan Omega - falling to my knees and begging for mercy."Īn entirely new set of vivid characters help move along the plot, which is somewhat longer than the first, while letting us meet a couple of characters we had encountered in PJO and HoO. As if it hadn't been funny enough with all the bad things which kept happening to Apollo, Leo is back, not only to add his own share of humor, but to torment Apollo whenever possible. With The Hidden Oracle's prophecy unraveled, our ex-god - demigod - ex-sorceress trio is already on the way towards the second stage of the journey. Quick note: there are spoilers for the Percy Jackson books, so maybe don't read this if you haven't read them yet.īlog | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Youtube It is full of adventure, haiku and mechanical dragons, as well as some great LGBTQ+ representation (Apollo is, himself, bisexual). In this book, Apollo has left Camp Half-Blood behind and is venturing out to restore Oracles and - hopefully - regain his place on Mount Olympus after Zeus cast him out and made him human. But sometimes there is just something so delightful about a character who is definitely NOT a hero and doesn't even pretend to be. Don't get me wrong, I praised the Percy Jackson series for being all about how a seemingly regular kid discovers he is actually so much more and proceeds to become a hero. Unfortunately, I missed the wall.Īlso, I just kind of love that Apollo is a narcissistic ass. "Um.nah." I leaned against the wall, hoping to look casual, attractive and suave. And the plots of the other books seemed to move in similar cycles of prophecy-quest-resolution, whereas this and The Hidden Oracle contained more surprises. Percy Jackson and Magnus Chase - started to blend together after a little while, and their characters were hard to distinguish from one another. I think I like these Apollo stories so much more because they feel the most unique. Apollo is just so sassy and snarky, and his disdain for humans rings with hilarious truth. I know all of these books have the same light, humourous tone, but none of the others seem to make me laugh so much. Honestly, Apollo is hands down my favourite character that Riordan has ever created. Unfortunately, the only thing that came to mind was weeping in terror. I will be much kinder and more generous than everyone is being to me-especially that sorceress Calypso. or I really just don't feel like doing it myself. And unless I am sure the mortal can handle it. I vow that if I ever regain my godhood, I will never again send a poor mortal on a quest. Shouldn't there be a reward at the end of each completed task? Not just more deadly quests? Oh, the indignities and pain I have already suffered! Untold humiliation, impossible time limits, life-threatening danger. Despite all this, if I have a chance of prying her away from her villainous stepfather, I have to try.īut I'm new at this heroic-quest business, and my father, Zeus, stripped me of all my godly powers. And while I'm mortal, she can order me to do anything. She betrayed me to Nero back at Camp Half-Blood. Meg, my demigod master, is a cantankerous street urchin. But why would an ancient Roman emperor zero in on Indianapolis? And now that I have made it here (still in the embarrassing form of Lester Papadopoulos), where is Meg? Those were the orders my old enemy Nero had given to Meg McCaffrey. If you cannot bring him to me alive, kill him. Capture Apollo before he can find the next oracle.

Would I like to pull down a few "tall ones" with my 32" SuperFox and some of these? Heck yeah. In slang if someone takes a good picture of something it is referred to as a nice shot. It was really good, and continues to be, IMO. But, when I went to Arkansas the first time I didn't want to subject my hosts to any embarrassment if I was charged by a warden, so I bought steel. I won't argue for criminality, I'm just being honest. I was hearing so many reports on crippling ducks with the early steel that I decided I was taking the moral high road even if I was a lawbreaker. I intentionally shot ducks with illegal lead loads until I started hunting in Arkansas about 1996. I can't really compare them to today's steel loads, as I didn't start using steel when the ban on lead for ducks happened. I have heard, and read, that the early steel loads were pretty poor in performance. Last point- I have no idea why RST keeps it on the site - it seems to me to be a poor choice since it annoys folks with false hope the product might somehow become available - which i don't see happening soon- the last proper duck sized bulk Nice Shot I got from the maker was #4's about two years ago, only a few pounds and jealously hoarded for my short tens If you do not reload - i do not see an option outside of RST's bismuth loads- and if i didn't reload I would stock up just in case they cease to be offered If you reload - bismuth is available and data is out there (I reload all my short ten non tox) Kent's products are great performers if you have a gun to handle them. We are, sadly, not a big enough market for sales - think about it- take the number of vintage gun shooters and then subdivide that into the number of us that actually still use these old fowlers for ducks. Kent I believe makes their own (as they do their improved Bismuth) and is not offering it to competitors The issue, as i see it, is that no one is making a similar tungsten shot available in quantities that will allow a small scale commercial loader such as RST to offer a load. Nice Shot was/is a specific product - made by a company in PA- it is a tungsten alloy and in fact in load recipes I have had actually tested - all other things equal, it seems to be very comparable to Kent's TM shot (which is also not available outside of Kent) |
