How and when to bring the Hubble home
| 27 August 2003
Two Berkeley physicists recently joined colleagues on a NASA advisory panel in unanimously recommending that NASA extend the life of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to maximize the amount of science it does before plummeting to Earth.
“We are urging them to keep it going as long as practical,” says Nobel Laureate, physicist, and panel member Charles Townes, a Professor in the Graduate School at Berkeley.
Fellow panel member Christopher McKee, chair of Berkeley’s physics department, says the panel’s recommendations reflect the consensus of the astronomical community, but must be weighed against other new space astrophysics proposals.
“The Hubble Space Telescope has revolutionized astronomy, and will continue to do great astronomy,” McKee says. “But NASA must take many factors into account in addition to science in reaching a final decision about the telescope.”
The six-member panel, formed in January to advise NASA on the future of the HST, issued its final report earlier this month, providing the agency with three preferred options, depending on the ultimate fate of the shuttle fleet.
NASA originally planned to service the telescope for the fourth time in about 2005, then send up a fifth shuttle mission around 2010 to bundle up the telescope and haul it back to Earth. This would provide a nice museum exhibit and remove the admittedly small risk of injury should the telescope plummet to Earth.
The February disintegration of the Columbia shuttle, however, threw a wrench into these plans, promising fewer shuttle flights and making NASA less willing to risk astronauts’ lives to bring the telescope home.
Astronauts’ zeal for risk is science-dependent
Says McKee: “Astronaut John Grunsfeld addressed the panel and says that he and his colleagues realize that whenever they go up they are risking their lives, and they are perfectly willing to do that in order to enable Hubble to do more science, but they were not ready to risk their lives just to bring it back to stick in a museum.”
NASA has proposed strapping a rocket to the butt of the telescope to guide it safely through the atmosphere to a mid-ocean plunge, but it’s unclear whether a shuttle trip will be required to do this or if it can be performed by an unmanned robotic mission.
“Right now, there is no propulsion module that can be taken up in a shuttle, and it’s possible that, after review, that may be regarded as too dangerous,” McKee says. “Then you would have to go to a robotic propulsion module that would latch onto the shuttle and bring it down, but such a module does not exist, either.”
The panel, chaired by John Bahcall of the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, N.J., argued to keep Hubble aloft because it can contribute great science for another decade or more and it complements its successor, the planned James Webb Telescope. Hubble provides great images in the visible and ultraviolet wavelength bands, while the Webb telescope will be optimized for infrared observations to probe the heart of dust clouds and the red-shifted light from the earliest days of the universe.
“The James Webb Telescope is going to provide a much greater leap in our capabilities than Hubble will, offering the potential for making new revolutionary discoveries,” McKee says. “But you still have the option of putting new instruments on Hubble, making it even more powerful than it is now.”
The Hubble Space Telescope has been a boon to astronomers since it first started snapping pictures of the heavens in 1993. Since then, the public has feasted on colorful photos of dust clouds, startlingly sharp pictures of distant galaxies, and hauntingly deep images showing the wealth of galaxies in the universe. These images have had a major scientific impact in nearly all areas of astronomy.
“One of the most important discoveries in the physical sciences in recent years was the discovery of acceleration of the universe,” McKee says. “That was done with ground-based telescopes, but observations with Hubble were crucial in helping to both establish that result and show that the acceleration hypothesis was the correct explanation of the data.”
“By any standards the HST has been a spectacular success — one of the most remarkable facilities in the entire history of science,” the panel’s report concluded.

It is accurate that a lot of countries https://thebestmailorderbrides.com/latin-countries/colombia/ do stop the partnerships of people who are certainly not their child children, such as in the US and in some areas of Europe, however the mail order brides own a way of navigating around these constraints because they will pretend to get couples. They normally have a daughter and a daughter together so, who are so tightly related that they can can't seriously tell the difference. Many people is not going to care and say that really like getting in a two-parent home. The truth is that they can be committing against the law immigration and that is a crime.
Every time a mail purchase bride pertains to the United States this girl may not have got a visa for australia. If the woman does, then the problem is greater because this girl may be applying her visa and trying to have a husband below too. The US government has had problems with these brides to be for years, but recently, the number of k-1 marriages is actually on the rise. This means that there are a whole lot of email order brides coping with the United States illegitimately.
If you are reading this article, then you certainly probably health care a great deal regarding getting married in america legally. You probably also want to understand if it is unlawful for a email order bride-to-be to marry. The answer is yes. It is illegitimate for any woman, who doesn't have her own country, to get married without the proper paperwork.

This morning, The Huffington Post reached out to Numero for comment about the controversial editorial called "African Queen" which featured, in the fashion magazine's very own words, "the American [read: white] model Ondria Hardin posing as an 'African queen,' her skin painted in black."
Here's the statement Numero sent back, in full:
"Some people have declared that they have been offended by the publication in Numéro magazine n°141 of March 2013, of an editorial realized by the photographer Sebastian Kim called 'African Queen', featuring the American model Ondria Hardin posing as an 'African queen,' her skin painted in black.
The artistic statement of the photographer Sebastian Kim, author of this editorial, is in line with his previous photographic creations, which insist on the melting pot and the mix of cultures, the exact opposite of any skin color based discrimination. Numéro has always supported the artistic freedom of the talented photographers who work with the magazine to illustrate its pages, and has not took part in the creation process of this editorial.
For its part, Numéro Magazine, which has the utmost respect for this photographer’s creative work, firmly excludes that the latest may have had, at any moment, the intention to hurt readers’ sensitivity, whatever their origin.
Numéro Magazine considers that it has regularly demonstrated its deep attachment to the promotion of different skin-colored models. For instance, the next issue of Numéro for Man on sale on 15th march has the black model Fernando Cabral on the cover page, and the current Russian edition’s cover of our magazine features the black model Naomi Campbell on its cover. This demonstrates the completely inappropriate nature of the accusations made against our magazine, deeply committed to the respect for differences, tolerance and more generally to non-discrimination.
Considering the turmoil caused by this publication, the Management of Numéro Magazine would like to apologize to anyone who may have been offended by this editorial."
Photographer Sebastian Kim sent in his own apology:
"I would like to apologize for any misunderstanding around my recent photos for Numero France. It was never my intention (nor Numero’s) to portray a black woman in this story. Our idea and concept for this fashion shoot was based on 60s characters of Talitha Getty, Verushka and Marissa Berenson with middle eastern and Moroccan fashion inspiration. We at no point attempted to portray an African women [sic] by painting her skin black. We wanted a tanned and golden skin to be showcased as part of the beauty aesthetic of this shoot.
It saddens me that people would interpret this as a mockery of race. I believe that the very unfortunate title 'African Queen' (which I was not aware of prior to publication) did a lot to further people’s misconceptions about these images. It was certainly never my intention to mock or offend anyone and I wholeheartedly apologize to anyone who was offended.
The two statements above are a study in contrasts. Kim's short and direct response articulates his original concept and makes a convincing case that the controversy was the result of a misunderstanding. His apology seems sincere, and I can see how he envisioned the editorial as a story about a Maria Berenson or Talitha Getty-type glamour girl. And yes: like him, I believe that it didn't read that way because of how it was framed by the publication.
Numero's defensive, drawn-out comment is less sympathetic: If Kim's original concept was for the most part inoffensive, the glossy's packaging of the editorial is another story. Numero not only ran the feature under the title "African Queen," the publication also truly believed that the pictures showed a white girl with her skin painted black posing as an 'African queen,' and didn't think that was a problem. I understand that in France, sensitivity to questions of racial justice might not be as sophisticated as what we're used to in the U.S., but as HuffPo pointed out, Numero's made this mistake before: in 2010, the French publication ran an editorial set in something resembling a savanna, featuring an "overbronzed" Constance Jablonski styled with an Afro, posing with a black baby.
Despite its willingness to, as Numero points out in its statement above, hire some black models sometimes (the references to its Fernando Cabral and Naomi Campbell covers are the magazine equivalent of being like, "I'm not racist — I have black friends!"), the publication clearly has a race problem. It's incredible that, thinking he'd deliberately styled Hardin in blackface, no one at Numero reached out to Kim to at least be like, "Hey, some people might find this offensive and that's totally fine with us (we're all about making fashion statements with blackface!), but just checking in — That's what you're going for, right?" Still more remarkable: after seeing how people responded to the editorial, Numero did what looks like zero soul-searching, releasing a statement which reads like they think we're the ones that should be apologizing for being offended in the first place.

In a several hours of walking up this valley we see only one tree, except for two or three others not much larger than shrubs. It leans over the river we walk along and it is caked with mosses. Wood over water with stone all around. This landscape is breathtakingly primal in its bones and its openness. It is wild and we exult. It is a gift to be in a tree here.

DC Comics has one of the most impressive stables of superheroes. Caped crimefighters, superhuman strongmen, sensitive robots and of course speedsters. Marvel Comics may have Quicksilver and one or two others, but DC has the Flash, the human whirlwind, the sultan of speed, the fastest man alive.
So how come there are three?
When college student Jay Garrick breathed in some heavy water vapors, he found he had been changed. Able to move faster than any mortal, he donned a helmet looking much like the one belonging to Mercury, the god of speed, and fought the criminal element, even when it was just a weird guy armed with a violin.
The Flash may have started as the only super-powered speedster on the DC Universe, but in 1956 he was joined by another Flash from a parallel Earth and then another, young Wally West the Kid Flash. Soon there was a vast Flash legacy that extended into the far future and into the past, thanks in part to Mark Waid who developed Max Mercury and the ‘speed force.’
A fan favorite hero, the Flash has one of more impressive rogue’s galleries in comics and makes a startling scarlet impression on readers. Even today, his series is one of the most visually stunning comics on the racks. The Young Justice series has been incredibly impressive and (despite a lag in broadcast) ranks up there with the Bruce Timm Justice League cartoon for excellence.
Image: Character design by Jerome K. Moore.
There’s been a lot of speculation among Young Justice fans about the fact that Kid Flash/Wally West has been missing from the five-years-later second season, and that the Flash has barely appeared (and hasn’t spoken). Did Wally West die during the gap? Did the Barry Allen die, and Wally West stepped up to become the new Flash like he did in the comics?
One thing is known: An upcoming episode by Peter David will feature three Flashes: Jay Garrick, Barry Allen and Wally West. Geoff Pierson will provide the voice of Jay Garrick.
I haven’t found a definitive source for the airdate, but it appears to be the June 2 episode, “Bloodlines.”
Set your DVRs, folks. This is going to be bigger than Wally’s spotlight in “Coldhearted.”

My wife and I recently bought a "demo" from our local car dealership. Just before we took our first trip, I thought it would be a good idea to check under the hood first, just in case it needed oil, anti-freeze, or windshield wiper fluid.
When I opened the hood, I stood there for a few minutes looking down on the maze of wires, hoses, belts, and brackets that had been crammed into a space no bigger than a backpack. I wondered where the engine was. The jet propulsion system of the space shuttle couldn't be more confusing. I managed to check all of the fluid levels, which had probably been topped off by the dealer anyway, and got into the car with the feeling that even though I started working on cars when I was 15, I was way over my head with this one. I expected to at least be able to see things I had become familiar with, like spark plugs and distributor wires, but since half of the parts I used to work on were gone, I began to wonder whether or not the latest cars even had spark plugs.
My grandparents on my mother's side were florists. They had three huge greenhouses, and grew corn and other vegetables for their own use in a big field behind their house. My uncle George lived with my grandparents, and worked in the greenhouses along with my grandfather, and had converted an old Model A into a pick-up truck by cutting off the entire top and rear of the car, leaving nothing but the dashboard, steering wheel, and two seats. He added a wooden bed to the back to carry in the vegetables, and to transport "flats" of newly planted flowers between the greenhouses.
When my sisters and I would visit my grandparents, we would beg my uncle to give us a ride on the truck. He allowed us to stand on the running boards with one hand on the dash, and the other gripping the side of the wooden bed, while he drove out to the field over a bumpy dirt road. Sometimes, it was to pick vegetables, but most of the time, it was just for fun.
When I became a teenager, I worked in the greenhouses too, helping to weed the flower beds and water the plants, but my grandparents no longer grew vegetables in the field, and the old Model A had not been running for years. I asked if I could “work on it,” and for a couple of weeks in the summer of '59, my friends and I would ride over to the greenhouses on our bikes with dreams of getting it running again. We took off the carburetor and cleaned it, replaced the points and the rotor, and had my uncle charge up the battery, and although we never got it going, it got me hooked on cars.
From that point on, I became the official flashlight holder for my father whenever he worked on our own car. He usually didn't get home from work until 6, so sometimes we would be out in the driveway late at night doing a tune-up, replacing a belt, or just changing the oil, and I got to see firsthand what it took to maintain a car. I couldn't wait to get one of my own. My father had given me my own toolbox, which I was slowly stocking with wrenches, screwdrivers, and assorted hand-me-down tools that he no longer needed, and occasionally, he would send me out to the driveway to replace a part, or adjust the carburetor or the points, and he would hold the flashlight for me.
One day, in my junior year of high school, I came home to find a pale green '52 Chevy parked in front of our house. It belonged to my aunt's brother, who had offered to sell it to me for $25, so I could use it to go back and forth to school. I didn't even have my driver's license yet, but I did have a permit.
When my father and I went out to take our first look under the hood, I could see that there was enough room around the engine to climb in over the fender to work on it. All of the parts were clearly visible; the distributor, carburetor, spark plugs, and alternator were all bolted to a simple 6-cylinder engine, and it only took me a few minutes to check the oil, air filter, and hoses before I took it out for my first drive. Sitting behind the wheel, I imagined myself taking all of my friends to school and going out just for fun, and never having to ride my bike again.
The "hatchback," as we came to call it, proved to be a mechanic's dream, especially since I went through transmissions about every other month. I learned how to change a transmission the first time after I went down a steep hill and tried to downshift from third to second doing about 40 miles an hour, and ended up permanently stuck in second gear. Changing the transmission was easy. It was held on by four bolts at the rear of the engine, and connected to the driveshaft by a universal joint. The hardest part was riding my bike to the junkyard, and balancing the new transmission on the handlebars on my way back. If I remember right, I made that trip at least 4 times, since none of the replacement transmissions lasted very long either.
Sometime in August, my wife and I are planning to take the family up to Lake George for a week. I'm sure the new car will need a few adjustments I could probably do myself, and maybe an oil change, but I think I'll take it up to the garage instead, and if it has spark plugs, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to have them changed too.

During his decades in the music business, the late Record Theatre, Transcontinent Record Sales and Amherst Records founder Lenny Silver amassed a treasure trove of collectibles.
Now, much of that collection is for sale.
The Lenny Silver estate sale kicked off at 1 p.m. today and continues from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Dec. 1 and 2. The sale takes place in Silver's home, at 172 Halwill Drive in Snyder.
Silver's basement den looks like a music memorabilia collector's vision of nirvana.
Down a staircase lined with leopard print wallpaper you'll find records, posters, autographed gold and platinum albums, a collection of funky '70s sport jackets that would make Herb Tarlek green with envy, publicity stills, music-related books, crates full of 45s, 8-track tapes, vintage stereo equipment, framed art, music periodicals, and a bevy of Elvis Presley collectibles.
It's all cool stuff. But it conjures in me some conflicted emotions. Like so many other members of the Buffalo music community, I worked for Silver for many years. During that time, I too amassed a sizeable collection of ephemera. It all means something to me, as I'm sure Silver's collection did to him. But these days, it all serves to remind me of what feels like a bygone era, when the record store was the hub of the music community, and having a well-stocked collection of Creem magazines, a near-mint edition of "Let It Be," or an autographed R.E.M. poster felt like a badge of honor.
Sadly, like Record Theatre itself, that feeling seems to be a thing of the past.
Still, I'll be there. I've got my eye on that mint-looking original copy of "Beatles VI"…

AHP readers may be interested in the soon-to-be-published edited book Histories of Sexology: Between Science and Politics. Edited by Alain Giami and Sharman Levinson, the book is described as follows:
Histories of Sexology: Between Science and Politics takes an interdisciplinary and reflexive approach to the historiography of sexology. Drawing on an intellectual history perspective informed by recent developments in science and technology studies and political history of science, this book examines specific social, cultural, intellectual, scientific and political contexts that have given shape to theories of sexuality, but also to practices in medicine, psychology, education and sexology. Furthermore, it explores various ways that theories of sexuality have both informed and been produced by sexologies—as scientific and clinical discourses about sex—in Western countries since the 19th century.

Immerse yourself in untouched beach and wilderness hiking along this remote 23-mile trek on Nootka Island in British Columbia, Canada. Getting yourself to the island will prove to be your first adventure with access provided via boat or float plane but once arrived you won’t want to leave.
Quick Stats of The Nootka Trail
Distance: 23 Miles
Elevation Gain: 1,646 Feet (Very Minimal)
Start / End: Gold River, Vancouver Island BC
Type: Thru Hike (Point to Point)
Average Time: 4-6 Days
Hiking Season: June through September
The Nootka Trail is a 23-mile trail along the coast of Nootka Island which is off of the northwest part of Vancouver Island.
The trail is on native land which requires a permit and fee arranged by your island transportation service.
The trail has a ratio of about 75% beach hiking and 25% coastal forest hiking with campsites located directly on the beach.
Although the trail is only 23 miles, the hiking is a slower pace due to its difficulty and the fact that people enjoy time on the beach and at swimming holes.
The trail ends at the Nootka Lighthouse in Friendly Cove, the place Captain James Cook landed and made first European contact with natives in British Columbia.
Access is provided primarily by chartered boat and float plane, Air Nootka operates out of Gold River and is the popular provider of float plane transportation services.
The largest float plane holds 6 passengers and costs about $1500 total round trip.
Check the latest at Air Nootka here.
Route & Conditions
The route can be hiked in either direction but if acquiring transportation via float plane, only a half capacity plane can fly out of the Louie Bay due to the shorter take off lane. This will require groups of 4 or more to start in Louie Bay and hike south towards Friendly Cove.
This was the direction my group hiked and I think we would all agree it would be our preference again.
I find it motivating to be hiking towards civilization and we were enticed with the possibility that there would be a place to get some burgers at the cove but they had just had a big group clear them out the day before.
Since most of the hiking is on the beach there won’t be many trail markers. What you’ll want to look out for is buoys tied up on trees that will signal the route coming in from the ocean.
Expect wet and extremely dense jungle conditions when hiking in the forest.
Where as there’s not much elevation change, there are large cliff sections that will have ropes to assist with climbing.
In general, there are plenty of fresh water sources that flow from inland out to the ocean. It is important to note that the section between Friendly Cove and near Calvin Falls is a dry section.
It’s only about a 5-mile stretch but that could be split into two days so preplanning is required. Your transportation provider will give you clear instructions on the way out as you go by and update you to current water conditions.
One additional item to take into account are the tides. There are a few stream crossings along the route and knowing the tides and planning around high tide will be beneficial.
Some of these we read about being impassible during high tide such as the one coming out of Calvin Falls. We were at Calvin Falls swimming during high tide and frequently crossing with no concern.
The one tide that is the most imperative to time is closest to Friendly Cove.
This inlet will be swimming depths during high tide and pose the greatest risk.
Ask your transportation provider on the way out for a current report because shifting beaches can create different hazards.
For example, we read about the inlet by Beano camp to be a crossing but when we were there a dune was built up so high that the inlet didn’t extend to the ocean any longer.
It’s hard to pick a favorite aspect of this trip but I think if to choose one, it would be the campsites.
They’re all right on the beach or just inland where the forest is touching the sand.
Food storage wasn’t too big of an issue. Many campsites had hangs already set up, or limbs that were well equipped for hangs. You definitely need your own bear line but finding quality hang locations was breeze.
We had some amazing clear nights of stargazing and fires might be banned but enforcement is limited out there and on the beach you can practice responsible fire management.
Food & Supplies
You will be off the grid this entire trip. Not even Friendly Cove has a resupply option. We had to beg a long stay fisherman family to let us buy chips and sodas off their supplies after finding out the woman who cooks burgers was out.
Plan to overpack on food because weight shouldn’t be a huge concern for this hike for a couple reasons.
The first being no elevation change. The second being the daily mileage totals are very low, all within single digits.
Even in slow beach and dense jungle conditions you won’t be doing a full day of hiking.
It’s better to overpack (within reason), then enjoy the food you might not typically carry on other backpacking trips.
I lead the group in liters of wine carried which made for some tougher hiking but incredible memories swimming, cooking, and watching the sunset with quality bagged wine.
For non-edible items to consider, a GPS like the Garmin inReach Mini is very handy and should be carried by at least one member of your group. You'll need some type of GPS to communicate with your transportation to confirm pick up. (There is the possibility for the lighthouse caretakers to make a call but you don't want to place the responsibility on someone else)
A water filter and having large water sacks will be needed and helpful for longer water carry sections.
A Run Through of My Itinerary:
Start: Gold River
End: Third Beach
We got a float plane heading out of Gold River at 2pm which put us at Third Beach camp around early evening. We had plenty of time to swim, relax, and cook before the sun went down.
We had Third Beach completely to ourselves which made for a wild experience. We spotted Orcas off the coast as well and thoroughly enjoyed this location.
Especially if starting at Louie Bay, I would highly recommend this campsite.
Third Beach as seen from our float plane coming in pictured below.
End: Calvin Falls
This was our favorite day and a very close favorite campsite as well. Calvin Falls is incredible and what you’ve probably seen pictures when looking up the trail online. It’s a great place to explore and walk upstream above the falls.
Of all campsites I think this is a must stop. Even if you show up first thing in the morning, just take the day and night here.
End: Beano Camp
Our weather became overcast the day we hiked to Beano and after the fun we had at Calvin Falls the day before this day seemed average in comparison than the others.
We had a great time relaxing at camp and playing games but I didn’t feel like we would have missed anything if we camped elsewhere.
Can't remember if we saw this whale carcass this day or the day before but it was super cool!
End: Friendly Cove
We had planned to stay at another campsite and walk in the Friendly Cove early the following morning but were lured by the possibility of burgers.
This day of hiking was incredible, we did what some groups would do in two days but it was filled with cliffside vistas and sea caves.
Save some time to explore around Friendly Cove, there is a lot of history and is important to read about the area before setting off.
End: Gold River
We woke up and flew back to Gold River in the morning to end our trip.
Orcas – We saw these from the shore at Third Beach camp
Bears – Actually not plural, we only saw one Black Bear but it was on the beach ahead of us while hiking
Otters – We saw these cute guys floating as our plane was landing in Louie Bay
Eagles – So many Eagles, never have I seen a higher concentration in my life
Deer – We spotted these from afar and thought we might have found Wolves. Unfortunately not.
Maps & Guides
I think it’s definitely worth getting a specific paper map for this trail because of the granular information it will have on the map like names of campsites and stream crossings.
This will make it easier to communicate and plan. A general map like Gaia or AllTrails is good and links to them below but they won’t have the level of detail most would want.
As mentioned one of your best sources of information will be your float plane pilot or ship captain taking you to the trailhead. It was hard to focus flying by and engine roaring but we spotted Calvin Falls and the stream before that we would need to fill up water.
We also got an aerial view of the water crossing approaching Friendly Cove.
This is a truly special hike so I hope this post gave some inspiration to get out there!
Also a big shout out to the group that invited me on this trip! It remains a strong favorite!

Suckle Creek Bridge
Longlac Station Suckle Creek Bridge Behun Station
The Suckle Creek Trestle is located west of Longlac within the Long Lake First Nation at Milepost 102.5/1.7.
The structure is a 110-foot long ballast deck trestle which was rebuilt in the 1980s. It is unusual in that it is the only trestle on the line that features concrete beams on the supporting bents. Visible on closer examination, the trestle bears charring on its underside from a fire (which is why it was rebuilt twice in the span of a few years).

Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte
This easy-to-make iced pumpkin spice latte is a perfect budget-friendly chilled alternative to the popular Starbucks PSL! Customize it with your favorite milk, top with homemade whipped cream, and enjoy every sip!
This iced pumpkin spice latte is for those who aren’t big on a morning hot cup of java but still crave those fall flavors first thing in the morning. With all of the indulgent ways to drink your coffee this time of year, whether it’s hot or cold, adding a bit of pumpkin flavor is the way to go, and this iced latte checks all the boxes!
About this iced latte
If you’re on the hunt for something a little different than everyone’s favorite pumpkin spice latte, you’re going to love this cold version. If you love your coffee cold, don’t miss our caramel iced coffee, Irish cream latte, and our iced vanilla latte!
This PSL is not a one-for-one copycat of Starbucks’ because it’s made without pumpkin puree, which means there’s no blending required. Instead, we use Torani pumpkin pie flavored syrup.
You can easily make this delicious drink at a fraction of the price you’d pay at your local coffee shop. If you have an espresso machine you’re way ahead of the game as it’s the easiest for making this recipe. Don’t have one? No problem, a Nespresso machine or French press works too!
Using regular brewed coffee turns this into a café au lait, but if that’s ok with you, then enjoy it just the same! Top off your iced pumpkin-flavored espresso with whipped cream or cinnamon whipped cream and a sprinkling of pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon sugar and it’s a drink you won’t be able to resist!
What you need
A detailed, printable list of ingredients is in the recipe card. Here is a summary of what you need:
- Ice – If you prefer the ice to melt more slowly, make sure to use cubes, not crushed ice. otherwise they’ll melt too quickly and dilute your coffee. If you like stronger coffee, try freezing cubes of brewed coffee so they don’t dilute your coffee as you melt.
- Whole Milk – Whole milk is a great choice for adding creaminess to any coffee drink. You can choose skim or 2% milk as well, or a non-dairy milk of your choice.
- Espresso – Pick your favorite espresso. Nespresso also works great! Avoid using instant espresso unless you’re in pinch, or if you prefer it.
- Pumpkin Pie Syrup – To make this coffee super smooth and creamy, we use Torani syrup instead of pumpkin puree. If you’re looking for a thicker, more syrupy consistency, try our hot pumpkin spice latte poured over ice. Both are great!
- Optional Toppings – Whipped cream and pumpkin pie spice.
How to make it
Grab a large glass. Add the ice and drizzle in the pumpkin pie syrup.
Next, pour in the espresso.
Stir in the milk to combine.
Top with whipped cream and spice if desired.
Typically yes, especially if you get yours from a coffee shop. It can be loaded with sugar. Making it at home is a great way to control the amount of sugar, and therefore control the level of sweetness. The syrup has sugar in it, whether you’re buying it or making it, but otherwise, there is no sugar in the coffee itself.
You bet! Just use a decaf espresso and follow the directions as listed.
Definitely. Use whatever milk you have on hand. Almond milk is great, it also froths and foams nicely. Oat milk, coconut milk, cashew milk will all work. Mind you, it will change the taste a bit, but if you’re used to the flavors of your favorite milk, you’ll love a dairy-free version.
How to make this iced pumpkin latte your own
- Skip the store-bought syrups and make a homemade brown sugar syrup like what you’d find in my PSL recipe.
- Double or triple the recipe for more than one serving.
- If you are unable to find the pumpkin pie flavored Torani syrup, use 1½ ounces of simple syrup mixed with ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice extract instead.
- If you want to increase the pumpkin flavor without increasing sweetness, you can add ¼ teaspoon of pumpkin pie flavor extract to 1 one of the Torani Pumpkin Pie Syrup.
- Substitute delicious cinnamon whipped cream for the topping along with a homemade caramel sauce.

- Add ice, pumpkin pie syrup, and espresso to a large glass.

- Prefer a pumpkin spice latte made with real pumpkin? Try our hot pumpkin spice latte.

The MDS system was developed for the task of detecting hidden persons on vehicles and in their cargo. The control is carried out by special sensors, which are placed on the vehicle and transmit measured data to a computer with MDS software. The acquisition and evaluation of the measurement data takes about 30 seconds. Including placing and removing the sensors, the total control time is usually less than 2 minutes.
The MDS Portable fits easily into any car and is thus practically everywhere applicable.

Since it is Halloween weekend, I have decided to watch a few horror films and review them. When I told my brother Ben about wanting to watch some horror movies this weekend, he suggested a few, and the only one I could remember was the 1960 Alfred Hitchcock film Psycho. While I debated watching the 1998 remake instead, I decided against it and watched the original, which was probably the smart thing to do. The Hitchcock version of Psycho is considered to be not only one of the greatest horror films of all time, but one of the greatest movies period. The movie stars Janet Leigh, Anthony Perkins, Vera Miles, John Gavin, and Mitchell's main villian, Martin Balsam. Psycho was nominated for four Academy Awards, although it did not win any and was not even nominated for best picture. The plot is as follows: an officeworker named Marion Crane (Leigh) is asked to take $40,000 to the bank before leaving for the weekend. Instead of taking it to the bank, she takes it for herself in the hopes of paying her boyfriend Sam Loomis (Gavin) debts so they can wed and live happily ever after. While on here way to meet Sam, a driving rainstorm forces Marion to pull over and stop at the Bates Motel, which proves to be a bad idea. A few notes about this film, and there are SPOILERS ahead.
- If you didn't know better and watched the first 20 minutes or so of this movie, you might think that this movie will be solely about Marion's theft of the money and her attempts to avoid the law. Heck, the whole first part of this movie is all about establishing Marion's character, explaining the motives behind her actions and making her relatable to the audience so the impact of her demise will be felt all the much more.
- During the first part of the film, Marion is suspected by a local cop of something because she fell asleep in her car on the side of the road and acted as if she was in a major hurry, which she was. After the cop follows her to a car lot and watches her drive off with a new car, he becomes more suspicious and starts to question the car dealer. After that, the cop is never shown again, which leaves a rather big plot point unfinished. Normally, this type of thing bothers me, but in this case, well it does bother me a little. I mean, wouldn't it be normal for the PI Arbogast (Balsam) to check with the police forces along Marion's route to see if they had seen her? Or to check where her car might have been? At the very least, we could have got a 30 second scene of Arbogast asking the cop about her whereabouts. Then again, perhaps I'm being a bit too picky.
- While Norman Bates is truly a 'psycho', Marion seemed to go off the deep end herself for a while. After ten years of working at the same office, she all of a sudden goes off and steals 40 grand and takes off to California, all in the hopes of marrying Sam, throwing away her previous life in the hopes of achieving something just a little better. As it turns out, Marion realized her mistake and had planned on returning the money back to the bank on Sunday, thanks in large part to her conversation with the one and only Norman Bates. How ironic, as Norman basically convinced Marion to save her own life only to take it just hours later.
- For its time, Psycho was a very controversial film, what with a naked woman being stabbed to death in a shower and all. One of the most controversial aspects of the film was the use of the word transvestite. Today, that word is tossed around in movies like baseballs are tossed around in the World Series but back then, it was a very big deal. Just goes to show how much things have changed over the years.
- In a film full of top-notch performances, nobody's performance comes close to Anthony Perkins' portrayal of Norman Bates. Perkins did such a great job of portraying Bates that it ended up hurting his career, as he ended up being typecast as a psychotic of some sort. But, as Vince Vaughn proved in the 1998 remake, not everyone can pull off the multi-faceted role of Norman Bates, and very few actors, if any, could have made Norman so psychotic and yet sympathetic the way Perkins does in this film. In contrast, although most of the actors did a fine job, John Gavin's portrayal of Sam Loomis is kind of dull, as he portrays Sam as a one-dimensional bore. Hitchcock himself has been rumored to be upset with Gavin in this movie, and to be honest, I can kind of see why.
At the end of the day, there may have been better movies than Psycho, but you can count on one hand the number of films that had the impact on the movie industry that Psycho had. From its revolutionary cinematography to it's profound use of blood to the haunting score to the establishment of a regular human like Norman Bates as the embodiment of terror, there have been hundreds of films that have borrowed from Psycho in some way. This is the original 'slasher' film, so to speak, and it's also a darn good film. Overall, I'd give Psycho an 8.8 out of 10. Well, thanks for reading, and if you have any thoughts about Psycho or my review, or you have an idea for a future review, then share those either by leaving a comment or by sending me an e-mail at email@example.com.

treequell vky17 Thank you both for the suggestions.
Signal/Molly - I didn't think of this but good idea. The limitation is that I didn't see a way to add shapes such as boxes or circles, only a draw feature. This draw feature is also in the Simple Gallery app already which would limit a step as compared to the Signal method.
Simple Gallery - This gallery has a draw tool, but also no shape options. This is my current photo Gallery as well.
Google Photo - This may be a viable option but I am not willing to use it. I already installed Google Camera, Google Maps and Gboard. I don't want a GrapheneOS phone with all google apps because at a certain point this defeats my purpose. I appreciate the suggestion though.
Does anyone else have any recommendations for my very niche request?

Mercedes-Benz fans in the UK will be pleased to know that the seventh-generation SL roadster is expected to arrive sometime in the middle of 2012. This new SL, which is codenamed as the R231, has reduced its weight under a program that’s expected to eventually affect all of its future models. Its most significant change is the use of an aluminum body structure instead of the high-strength steel construction of the current SL.
The new SL makes use of methods that were applied initially to the SLS. As a result, it lost weight of up to 200kg, model for model. It’s an impressive achievement, considering that it boosted its safety level and it added standard equipment throughout the range. The styling of this two-seater is an expected evolution of the SL theme, featuring a long nose, steeply raked windscreen and relatively long boot meant to provide space for a folding hard-top.
This model’s styling is very similar to that of the new SLK. Among its features are a big, open grille, signature side air vent, angular headlamps with unique LED graphics, heavily structured flanks, and a tapered rear end. Its width is highlighted by tail-lights that drape around to the body sides. It also has been given a heavily contoured bonnet.
The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is now in its sixth generation, around six decades since the original version was launched in 1952. Just like the first of its name, the new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class intends to set a trend with its athletic performance, picturesque proportions and high utility value. Two new BlueDIRECT engine options are initially available for the latest iteration of the SL, a V6 engine with an output of 225 kW (306 hp) for the SL350 and a V8 powerplant with an output of 320 kW (435 hp) for the SL500. The new V8 engine in the SL500 is around 12-percent more powerful than its predecessor.
Interestingly, the designation “SL” for the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is derived from the German term “Sportlich-Leicht” that means sport lightweight. The latest evolution of this sports car stays true to this definition as achieved by systematic weight reduction. In fact, the Mercedes SL-Class will be the first series production to benefit from an all-aluminum body shell, which is around 110 kilograms lighter than comparable body shell made from sheet steel.
Despite its lighter nature, the aluminum body shell is more rigid and safer. This level of lightness and rigidity of the Mercedes-Benz SL-Class was attained via a systematic intelligent material mix of aluminum alloys and aluminum components that are custom-made to comply with their respective requirements. Mercedes-Benz also employed high-strength steel and magnesium for some parts of the SL.
The weight savings achieved by the use of aluminum body shell were partly offset by the addition of more safety and comfort elements into the SL. But compared to their respective predecessors, the new SL350 and the new S500 are still much lighter, thanks to a host of intelligent details aimed at reducing their weight. For instance, at 1,685 kg, the new SL350 is around 149 kg lighter than the previous model, while the new SL500 – with a weight of 1,785 kg – is around 125 kg lighter than its predecessor. These and other improvements have resulted to better on-the-road performance for the new SL.
For instance, the sports car’s improved longitudinal and lateral dynamics allows for a more superior performance especially during cornering. Moreover, the new SL has wider tracks both at the front axle (plus 38 mm) and rear axle (plus 77 mm) and it boasts of sporty and agile handling. In fact, the new Mercedes-Benz SL-Class is seen to be more agile than its predecessor. Clients could choose from two suspension variants: the standard semi-active adjustable damping and the optional active suspension system ABC (Active Body Control). The semi-active adjustable damping is lowered by around 10 mm in the AMG sports package.
As expected, the new Mercedes-Benz SL is the perfect blend of an athletic profile, agile nimbleness and a luxurious ambience. It uses high-quality materials, equipment and appointments to deliver an exceptionally high level of comfort and everyday practicality. The Mercedes-Benz SL-Class definitely scores high marks in terms of open-top motoring experience, suspension comfort and long-trip convenience as well as in terms of low background noise.
