Hey gang! I've been reading a lot of great material in this forum and it's finally time for me to make my first post. I have what I hope is a fairly simple problem. I'm getting ready to brew my first batch in the next couple of weeks. I'm prepared to do a Dusseldorf Altbier and a California Common. I bought WLP036 and WLP051, and I intend to do the Altbier followed by the California Common a couple of weeks later. So far, so good.
The plan all along has been to conduct my primary and secondary in my basement. A few days ago, I put little cups of water all over the place, and I went today with a liquid thermometer to check the temps. The warmest spot is 59*F! That's under the stairs. I'm not going to call this a crisis, but it's an issue.
So, the big question - can I just put my primary under the stairs at 59*, or, failing that, is there a way I can keep it warmer? I've thought about maybe enclosing it more by walling off the underside of the stair with cardboard or something. Once it starts fermenting maybe it will provide some of it's own ambient heat. Once thing is for sure, cold conditioning the California Common is not going to be a problem.
Let's go ahead and rule out moving it upstairs now. I don't have a convenient place, my wife would be pissed, and my kids would be into it. Let's also rule out waiting until spring. That would be a bummer.
WLP036 - 65-69* (although I read on their website even 62* is okay)
Thanks for the help!
Your friend,
Barley Bob
With those temp ranges,59F would be a bit too cold. Maybe get a heating pad or some similar devoce to keep the temp in range?
I think you'll be ok as is at 59. I ferment in a fridge with a temp probe and I usually set my controller to 59-60 and my Carboy typically ferments between 66-70. Since fermentation normally raises temps 7-10 I think you'll be good. I would just try to pitch at the temp you wan it to ferment at since you'll be placing the Carboy in a colder spot.
My initial ferment temps usually only go up a couple degrees if the room is cool,like this time of year. At least wrap an old winter coat or quilt around it. That help a couple degrees.
You are definitely going to want to move the fermentation to a warmer part of your house. Otherwise your yeast will start to go dormant and won't do their job. The only other option you may have is buying a good space heater with a thermostat or something like this.
Remember the fermentation will raise temp. In my experience its about 6-7 degrees. You're looking at a ferment temp around 65 degrees. A base temp of 59 is perfectly fine. I ferment all my ales at 64 degrees and they come out nice and clean. At that temp, the yeast will not go dormant. Go for it!
Perfect temp for a lager. I use safelager 34-70 all winter and the beers are exceptional.
Not sure what all the issue is, I ferment my common steam at 60 all the time and it turns out fine, go for it, the temp will bump a bit when active and the beer will ferment perfectly fine and then cold condition as well.
Thanks for all your help, guys. I'll stop worrying, and, if the temp is a hair low, I'll wrap it in a blanket or something. I will definitely keep a close eye on it. Adding a heater would be good, but, as I'm just starting out, I'm not eager to sink cash into the added piece of mind. It would be a good investment down the road.
I really didn't realize how cold my basement got. If I had, I would have set out to do lagers from the beginning. I do love a good Oktoberfest. Anyway, my storm cellar is 33* right now, and I'll bet money it stays cold enough to lager through summer.
I agree, it should be fine. I find that a two gallon batch in my 59' basement only gets to 61-64, but a five gallon batch gets into the upper 60s. Raising it off the floor helps it warm, the cold concrete saps heat, which helps in summer.

Bootstrap Immigrants: Assessing the Conservative Transformation of Canada's Immigration Policy
December 15, 2014
CIGI Policy Brief No. 52
Of all the reforms launched by this most conservative of Conservative governments, none surpass the root-and-branch restructuring of Canada's immigration polices. And what has come before does not equal what is to come. On January 1, 2015, the federal government will replace the points system used to select immigrants for nigh on 50 years with the entirely new Express Entry program. The goal is to better align the abilities of immigrants to the needs of the Canadian economy. Well-educated, fluent in English or French or both, self-reliant, able to fit seamlessly into the workforce without need of government assistance — these "bootstrap immigrants," as they could be called, might also be inclined to vote Conservative.

Sharing recipes with friends
Started by FEdeRAL , Dec 03 2012 12:28 PM

Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:28 PM
In the process of making my christmas cake this morning. A little late this year but with two little ones under two I am proud I managed it. Anyway, the recipe I use is from Nigella Lawson's Feast. She mentioned in a little paragraph prefacing the recipe about it being passed down to her from MIL of her assistant's sister. I thought it is wonderful for a heirloom recipe to be published and shared with so many people.
Then I am reminded of an ex-colleague who refused to give out recipes. She made the loveliest vanilla butter cupcakes for the office and when a few of us asked if she could share the recipe she said sorry can't cos it was her special recipe. I have asked quite a few people to share their recipes over the years. Most did and some promised but eventually forgot (either accidentally or deliberately, not sure).
So do you share your recipes? I do (although I must confessed I still "owed" SIL a Christmas recipe I promised her last year!!) Is it common to not share?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:31 PM
I share my recipes all the time and if I find a great website, I always email my friends who I think might be interested.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:33 PM
I love sharing but most of the time I don't have time to write down recipes!
Most of what I cook is some of this and a bit of that - added to the fact that I use a thermomix a fair bit so most things I make are not written down.
So if you want to get out a pen I will give you a pretty good approximation of what goes in to a recipe, but mostly I can't be a*sed to write it out.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:35 PM
I share my recipes all the time as I don't see the point in not lol!
However on two occasions previously at work I have taken a particular item in a few times, then been asked for the recipe, only to have the person I gave it to start bringing it in on pot luck days etc.
I don't really care, I don't own the right to make brownies or whatever but it just seems odd to me to ask for the recipe of something I regularly bring in, and then start bringing it in yourself?
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:36 PM
Doesn't bother me to share but then none of my recipes are some secret family recipe handed down.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:38 PM
Maybe she used a packet mix & didn't want to tell anyone?
I used a white wings packet mix the other week & the cake turned out better than the ones I make from scratch! However I'm more than happy to admit that it came from a packet.
Besides that I share any receipie with anyone who wants it.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:39 PM
I can't imagine being so mean spirited as to refuse to share a recipe with someone. It's sad and pathetic.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:40 PM
I never make up my own recipes so I have no problem sharing them! They're not mine!
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:44 PM
Im happy to share. I find a lot on the net or tv.
Reminds me a friend asked me for a cake recipe she wants to serve for Xmas day. I served her the cake. She asked for the recipe. I kept thinking it was 'missing something' but wasn't till the next day I realized I forgot the flour! Whoops. So I better give her the recipe with both options.
Only time I don't share recipes is when a friend C has given me a few, they're 'hers'. Also I have a recipe I've given her and she won't share it with anyone she doesn't like. It makes me laugh. It's just her thing I guess.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:45 PM
I would never even consider refusing to share. If I have a great recipe I often will go out of my way to share with friends because I want them to enjoy it as much as I do
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:45 PM
Maybe she used a packet mix & didn't want to tell anyone?
Of course I'll share my recipes. Why not? The whole point of cooking is to share the love with the people that you love.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:50 PM
I'm always happy to share a recipe. I'm chuffed whenever someone asks!
I think it's a bit weird and mean to refuse to share a recipe. An old flatmate's mother (who lived interstate, and who I'd never met) made a tasty curry sauce. I asked her daughter if she could get me the recipe, and she forewarned me that her mother didn't share. Even though I lived at the other end of the county and wasn't likely to be 'competing' with her.
I also worked in a cafe some time ago that made a really delicious relish. When I asked if I was able to get the recipe, there was much umm and ahhing over whether to give it to me. I was warned that I must never tell anyone the 'secret' recipe; I agreed. The waitress then pulled out a copy of a VERY iconic Australian cookbook
Posted 03 December 2012 - 12:54 PM
I don't own my recipes, they always come from a book or the net, so I think it would be ridiculous not to share.

I know someone who 'forgets' to give you the recipe if you ask but I also have a very elderly relative who outright says no because you might make it better than her and she doesn't want the competition.
The second response is far more preferable, at least she is honest!

I agree with this.
I always share my recipes when asked - even the few I made up myself. It just makes no sense not to unless it's for something you sell commercially.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 01:48 PM
In the OP's case I would bet the farm on the fact she is using a packet mix or is even buying them!
I happily share recipes - however I constantly annoy a particular friend of mine who asks for recipes all the time as I am a 'by feel' cook...
The recipe as such is always guided by what I have on hand at the time so doesn't really exist.
She finds recipes I write out for her with instructions like:
'Beans or bok choi or broccoli or whatever..' and 'about a half a handful' or 'till it isn't sticky anymore'
She finds them very annoying!
Posted 03 December 2012 - 01:49 PM
I always share recipes. I share the food, why not the recipe?
Anyway, this thread reminds me of my grandmother who passed away several years ago. She was a brilliant cook, and an excellent baker in particular. She was a member of her local CWA, and would tell me stories of a particular woman in her group who used to give out her recipes but alter them a bit - like omit or dramatically reduce the sugar, or not include eggs, or add another random weird ingredient. Apparently this woman was very competitive and didn't want her friends stealing her recipes, some of which had won awards in the local competitions. I remember my grandmother once used this woman's recipe for profiteroles, and they came out green (she didn't add food colouring or anything, it must have been a weird and random ingredient combination thing)! It was hilarious, and she never used this woman's recipes again!
Posted 03 December 2012 - 02:30 PM
I share recipes, happy to. When I remember to write them down. Or type out an email from the cookbooks/recipe book. I'm pretty slack sometimes with that, but it's not because I don't want to share the recipe. I do, it's just finding the time to get the recipe together and pass it along.
And I am happy to admit when I've used a packet mix. Some of them are great!

Exactly this. Many of my recipes have been passed on to me from friends or family so I can't imagine why anyone would choose to be a recipe grinch.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 02:43 PM
Ha ha, i agree that she definitely used a packet mix! With EVERY cake i bake i get comments on how delicious they are and every time I have to give 100% credit to Greens cake mixes as they are the only thing i ever use!

This is the way I feel too. The whole point of sharing food is undermined if you refuse to share the recipe. If you're so posessive & competetive limit your cooking to show competitions.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 02:56 PM
Normally I am happy to share my recipes, but I do have one I don't like sharing. Sadly that's the one people are always asking for. It's a personal creation and rather tricky to get right, I used to freely share the recipe but got sick of being accused of having left ingredients or important steps out. I'd rather put up with being nagged to bring it in again than be accused of leaving things out of a recipe.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 03:00 PM
OP maybe the butter cake was Betty Crocker and she didn't want anyone to find out!
I always share but mine are mostly not original.
Posted 03 December 2012 - 03:03 PM
I share my recipes, but only the things I actually cook from a recipe, not the things I make slightly differently every time.

When dads believe their baby doesn't 'like' them
Q: My two-month-old baby doesn't like me. He's perfectly content with my wife, but when I try to hold him, he gets upset and cries.

GeForce GTX 460 SLI review -
Power Consumption
Power Consumption
During the stress tests we measured power consumption based on the power draw from the entire PC.
The methodology is simple: We have a device constantly monitoring the power draw from the PC. After we have run all our tests and benchmarks, we look at the recorded maximum peak; and that's the bulls-eye you need to observe as the power peak is extremely important. Bear in mind that you are not looking at the power consumption of the graphics card, but the consumption of the entire PC.
Our test system is a power hungry Core i7 965 / X58 based and overclocked to 3.75 GHz. Next to that we have energy saving functions disabled for this motherboard and processor (to ensure consistent benchmark results).
I'd say on average we are using roughly 50 to 100 Watts more than a standard PC due to higher CPU clock settings, water-cooling, additional cold cathode lights etc. Keep that in mind. Our normal system power consumption is a little higher than your average system. But with multi-GPU setups .. well that fact fades away real fast. Check it out.
So yeah with 2-way SLI we noticed our power consumption for the GTX 460 768MB peaked to roughly 435 Watts, that's not bad really as that is slightly higher than one GTX 480 yet we certainly are more powerful.
BTW we stress the GPUs here,. not the processor, so you need to add another 100~150W for overall power consumption.
We review the GeForce GTX Titan X. Now it surely hasn't been a long wait as in-between the introduction announcement and launch there have been two weeks. But yeah, the 12 GB beast has arrived. Initi...

For three years after being forced from office as President of the United States of America, Nixon remained silent. But in summer 1977, the steely, cunning former commander-in-chief agreed to sit for one all-inclusive interview to confront the questions of his time in office and the Watergate scandal that ended his presidency. Nixon surprised everyone in selecting Frost as his televised confessor, intending to easily outfox the breezy British showman and secure a place in the hearts and minds of Americans. Likewise, Frost's team harbored doubts about their boss' ability to hold his own. But as cameras rolled, a charged battle of wits resulted. Would Nixon evade questions of his role in one of the nation's greatest disgraces? Or would Frost confound critics and bravely demand accountability from the man who'd built a career out of stonewalling? Over the course of their encounter, each man would reveal his own insecurities, ego and reserves of dignity -- ultimately setting aside posturing in a stunning display of unvarnished truth.
For more about Frost/Nixon and the Frost/Nixon Blu-ray release, see Frost/Nixon Blu-ray Review published by Ben Williams on April 21, 2009 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5.
Starring: Frank Langella, Michael Sheen, Kevin Bacon, Rebecca Hall, Toby Jones (I), Matthew Macfadyen

Frost/Nixon Blu-ray Review
Opie does politics.
Reviewed by Ben Williams, April 21, 2009
As one of this year's Oscar nominees for best picture, Frost/Nixon is a strange and compelling film. It's represents something of a departure for Director Ron Howard, a filmmaker who has made a name for himself through films with much broader appeal and a reliance on big name actors and larger than life premises. Frost/Nixon finds Mr. Howard exploring more subtle territory and focusing on his actors performances. It's a unique experience, and one that is sure to enthrall students of history and presidential politics.
In 1977, down on his luck television journalist David Frost (Michael Sheen) stumbled upon a glorious opportunity. Frost had recently suffered a series of career setbacks and had found himself relegated to menial roles hosting second tier talk shows on British television. He wasn't proud of his fate, but was resigned to improving his station. So, when the opportunity to interview scandalized former president Richard Nixon (Frank Langella) presented itself, Frost sprung into action. He'd have to raise a considerable amount of money for the interview; Nixon's people demanded $600,000 for the privilege. Most serious television news organizations weren't interested in the interview; they considered paid interviews to be below their standards. But when Frost miraculously raised the money and sat down for 12 days of in-depth interviews, the world was treated to the first serious discussion from the former president on the scandals and controversies that had plagued his administration. Frost was an instant star, Nixon showed his more vulnerable side and the rest, as they say, is history. Frost/Nixon tells this tale.
Frank Langella would seem like an odd choice for the role of Richard Nixon; the two bear very little resemblance and Langella has always exhibited a more towering presence on screen than the hunched and humbled president. Clearly, my fears were completely unfounded regarding this casting, as Langella so encompasses and embodies the role, that any dissimilarity in the two men's appearances disappear completely in the wake of Langella's powerful and moving performance. It's an amazing thing to see someone disappear so completely into a role, but Langella simply IS Richard Nixon in this film. Michael Sheen, on the other hand, has an easier time filling the shoes of David Frost. Most aren't as intimately familiar with Frost's mannerisms as the world is with Nixon's oft parodied and referenced traits. Regardless, Sheen is incredibly effective in the role, providing a decidedly neutral and stoic presence in the film, often in stark contrast to the bloodthirsty attitudes of his producers. These folks want to skewer Nixon on international television.
The complexities of Richard Nixon's personality and character are on full display in Frost/Nixon. It would have been an easy task to simply portray the controversial president as a liar and a crook, an opinion that many audience members would have happily accepted. Instead, the filmmakers have gone to great lengths to present a new Richard Nixon; one who isn't just the caricature that popular forms of entertainment have made him out to be for the past 30+ years, but a real person who is often extremely likable and capable of remorse. The fact that this interview actually exists in reality definitely explains most of this, but the scenes involving Nixon when the cameras are off, often are the most telling.
This far along in history and after the events that lead to Nixon's resignation, a single film like Frost/Nixon isn't going to change the historical context of the Nixon administration or lessen the crimes that the president committed. Like the stage play from which it is based, Frost/Nixon simply exists to show that there are sometimes two sides to every public persona, and that on occasion, there's more to a person than meets the eye. Frost/Nixon is highly recommended.
Frost/Nixon Blu-ray, Video Quality
Bathed in period details and filmed in a style reminiscent of the films of the late seventies, Frost/Nixon arrives on Blu-ray in a form that accurately recreates the film's theatrical exhibition. Universal has, unsurprisingly, done the consistent thing and delivered the film via a relatively high bitrate VC-1 encode. The results are pleasing and entirely consistent to the intentions of Ron Howard and cinematographer Salvatore Totino.
Much of the actual interview featured in Frost/Nixon is shrouded in deep black shadowy hues. As such, this Blu-ray encode does a fine job of presenting satisfyingly deep black levels and robust contrast. I was pleased with the level of detail on display as well; Nixon's craggy face bore the signs of years of doubt and insecurity, while Frost's youthful appearance stood as a stark contrast. Colors are vibrant and deeply saturated throughout the presentation. As one would hope, compression issues and digital artifacts aren't ever an issue. Frost/Nixon isn't exactly the kind of picture that was destined to challenge Blade Runner in the impressiveness department, but it sure looks good! Recommended!
Frost/Nixon Blu-ray, Audio Quality
Here's an odd proposition: take a movie about a television interview from the 1970s, make the film a series of long and drawn out conversations and exchanges, score the film with a minimalist series of compositional sketches and then deliver it on Blu-ray in crystalline 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio. Now, I'm not saying that lossless audio is overkill; it never is and always delivers a soundtrack that is superior to its lossy counterpart. However, there's just not much more than 122 minutes worth of in-depth and perfectly captured conversation presented on this Blu-ray disc.
In spite of the lack of any kind of traditional action-themed sound design, Frost/Nixon succeeds in being a perfectly realized audio experience. The film's abundance of dialogue is presented as flawlessly as possible; every grumble and terse statement from Nixon is rendered with impeccable aural resolution. The film's score is rooted in the front soundstage with the occasional flourish finding its way into the surround channels. Dialogue moves around the front soundstage nicely and is never rooted primarily in the center channel. What more could one really ask for? Recommended!
Frost/Nixon Blu-ray, Special Features and Extras
Here's what's included:
- Feature-length audio commentary with Director Ron Howard
- U Control - Picture-In-Picture (BD Exclusive)
- U Control - The Nixon Chronicles (BD Exclusive)
- "Discovering Secrets: The People and Places Behind the Story" (BD Exclusive)
- Deleted Scenes
- "The Making of Frost/Nixon"
- The Real Interview
- The Nixon Library
- BD Live - Download Center (BD Exclusive)
The big question raised regarding the special features included with this Blu-ray release of Frost/Nixon is, why not include the actual Frost / Nixon interview? It would be a natural item to include, but I can only assume it wasn't possible due to rights issues. Regardless, Universal has included a few short clips of scenes from the actual interview that match up nicely with the content covered in the film. Ron Howard contributes an outstanding commentary track that held my attention and was informative enough to actually have me wanting to give it a second listen. Good stuff! What's left is a few short featurettes, a short feature on the Nixon Library and a light making-of documentary.
Frost/Nixon Blu-ray, Overall Score and Recommendation
Frost/Nixon is a deceptively engaging film that blends outstanding performances with a keen insight into historical precedent. What seemed like fodder for a boring and one- note film has been transformed into a riveting dramatic narrative that never fails to entertain. Universal brings Frost/Nixon to Blu-ray sporting an outstanding video transfer and audio that never fails to deliver. While I felt that the film's included supplementary features could have been a bit more in-depth, the film is the main attraction here. Frost/Nixon is highly recommended!

text: A scene with (at least) three characters present (Alice, Bob and Carol). Alice is refusing to talk to Bob for some reason, so she repeatedly says to Carol, "Please tell Bob...". There are a few variants on this:* Bob sometimes replies directly, sometimes also via Carol.* Carol sometimes actually repeats what she's been asked to say, sometimes doesn't bother.* If it goes on long enough, an exasperated Carol might tell Alice to tell him herself.Bonus points if Alice and Bob are sitting right next to each other.----!!Examples:[[AC:ComicStrips]]* ''CalvinAndHobbes'': Calvin's mother drifts into this following a HorribleCampingTrip.-->'''Calvin's Mother''': Calvin, tell your father that any judge would take this trip as grounds for divorce.\\'''Calvin''': Dad, Mom says...\\'''Calvin's Father''': '''ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT!'''[[AC:{{Fan Fic}}]]* ''FanFic/TheFledglingYear'':** Cor and Aravis often engage in variations of not-talking-to-each-other during [[BelligerentSexualTension their many fights]].** Cor and Corin do it using Aravis as the middleman at least once, which Aravis promptly {{lampshades}}.[[AC:{{Film}}]]* In ''WesternAnimation/IceAge 2'', Ellie doesn't talk to Manny, with Crash and Eddie in the middle, but the middle guys end up rewording the messages she says into their wording, trying to make him leave her alone. For Manny's credit, he ''can'' hear her as they walk. For example:--> '''Manny:''' I thought we could walk together. --> '''Ellie:''' Crash, ask the mammoth why he thinks that.--> '''Crash:''' She said she thinks you're a jerk and to go away. [[AC:{{Literature}}]]* Granny Weatherwax and Magrat put Nanny in the middle in ''Discworld/WitchesAbroad''.* In ThomasCostain's novel ''The Black Rose'', Walter's grandfather has made an oath never to speak to him, and always speaks to him via his mother. Near the end, though, he accidentally addresses Walter directly three times, and decides the oath is permanently broken.* ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire'': Happened between Harry and Ron, with Hermione in the middle.* In ''Magyk'', the first book of the ''Literature/SeptimusHeap'' series, the message rat Stanley is initially relieved when asked to do a job for wizards, as his previous job had consisted of conveying messages between two arguing sisters that had eventually descended into this. Things were so far gone that he was essentially running back and forth and saying nothing, until finally the sisters' mother was shocked by the huge bill and canceled the service.* Happens in ''Literature/TheHouseOfTheSpirits'', after Clara and Esteban's disastrous fight over Blanca and her boyfriend Pedro Tercero that would end in tragedy. [[spoiler: From then on Clara never told him a word anymore, though later she softens up a little and writes messages to him instead.]]* In ''Literature/OneHundredYearsOfSolitude'', Amaranta and Fernanda spend ''years'' not talking after Amaranta verbally humiliates Fernanda in front of the family due to her pompous attitude. [[spoiler: Not even Amaranta's death changes their minds; when Ursula asks the dying Amaranta to say goodbye, she bitterly says "it's not worth it anymore".]]* Towards the beginning of ''Ptomely's Gate'' from ''Literature/TheBartimaeusTrilogy'', Nathaniel and Bartimaeus go through a variation of this, with Nathaniel's secretary, Ms. Piper, as the unfortunate intermediary. It finally ends thus:-->'''Nathaniel''': ...tell him, Ms. Piper, that if he successfully completes the following mission I shall agree to his temporary dismissal for the purposes of recuperation, and let him be satisfied with that.-->'''Bartimaeus''': Tell him that this offer will only be acceptable if the mission is simple, swift, and utterly without danger.-->'''Nathaniel''': Tell him—-oh, for heaven's sake, just tell him what the mission is and have done![[AC:LiveActionTV]]* In one episode of ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', Dr Cox gets annoyed with Elliott for deliberately setting him up to [[FunWithForeignLanguages say the wrong thing to a German patient]], so when she asks him for help, he talks to a ''stapler''. For much of Season Six, once she becomes "Private Practice Barbie", Dr Kelso refuses to acknowledge her existence, and talks to her through the nurses.* ''Series/{{Whites}}'': Caroline refuses to speak to Roland at the end of Episode 4, so he has to make conversation with Robin.* Used in ''Series/BoysBeforeFlowers'', but it takes very little time for Jan Di to get fed up with Jun Pyo and start yelling at him directly.* ''Series/TheBigBangTheory'' had an interesting variant where Howard was not only not talking to Leonard but also insisting that Leonard had passed on ("dead to me"). Sheldon was willing to participate until Howard acknowledged his presence and thereby violated the terms of his own premise.* Is there any family sitcom that doesn't invoke this trope at least once?[[AC:WebComics]]* ''{{Spacetrawler}}'' has a variant where it's less about refusing to speak, and more about recruiting the third party to bolster their argument, and the third party is an ExtremeDoormat.-->'''Nogg:''' Cardinal62. Tell them we're the good guys.\\'''Cardinal62:''' ''(To Emily)'' We're the good guys.\\'''Emily:''' Well, tell alien-fish that I know a dozen good seafood recipes he'd go lovely in.\\'''Cardinal62:''' ''(To Nogg)'' She knows a dozen good seafood recipes you'd go lovely in.\\'''Nogg:''' Well, you tell ''her'' that-* In ''Webcomic/DarthsAndDroids'', [[http://darthsanddroids.net/episodes/1119.html Princess attempts this.]] The person she refuses to speak with is right there, and her intermediary won't cooperate.-->'''Princess:''' C-3PO, please inform Chewbacca that I'm not sharing a cell with him.\\'''C-3PO:''' Chewbacca: Princess insists on sharing a cell with you.\\'''Princess:''' Nevermind. Lando, please inform--\\'''Chewbacca:''' Oh, don't pretend you didn't know.[[AC:WesternAnimation]]* In ''WesternAnimation/DrKatzProfessionalTherapist'', in "Big TV", Dr. Katz refuses to talk to Ben when Ben bought a big screen TV without his permission. The trope is initially played straight (with Laura being the party relaying the messages), but is subverted in short order when both parties forget who they're not talking to.-->'''Ben:''' Dad, look me in the eye, and tell Laura to ''shut up''.* In ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', Homer and Lisa talk via Marge/Bart when Lisa ruined Homer's barbecue in "Lisa the Vegetarian". (Homer soon gets confused about who he is/isn't talking to).-->'''Homer:''' Marge? Since I'm not talking to ''Lisa'', would you please ask her to pass me the syrup?-->'''Marge:''' Dear, please pass your father the syrup, Lisa.-->'''Lisa:''' Bart, tell Dad I will only pass the syrup if it won't be used on any meat product.-->'''Bart:''' You dunkin' your sausages in that syrup, homeboy?-->'''Homer:''' Marge, tell ''Bart'' I just want to drink a nice glass of syrup like I do every morning.-->'''Marge:''' Tell him yourself, you're ignoring Lisa, not Bart.-->'''Homer:''' Bart, thank your mother for pointing that out.-->'''Marge:''' Homer, you're not not-talking to me, and secondly, I heard what you said.-->'''Homer:''' Lisa, tell your mother to get off my case!-->'''Bart:''' Uhhh, Dad. Lisa's the one you're not talking to.-->'''Homer:''' Bart! Go to your room.-->'''Lisa:''' Why don't you just eat him, Dad?!* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Doug}}'', the breakup of Music/TheBeatles homage band The Beets plays out like this, with all four members of the group holding a press conference where they face away from the microphone and say things like this ("I'm not telling them, YOU tell them!") before one finally has enough and very curtly says that they're splitting up.* Shaggy and Scooby didn't speak to each other throughout an episode of ''WesternAnimation/APupNamedScoobyDoo'', trying to use Daphne as an intermediary. However, she was too annoyed with both of them to actually do it - plus, both of them heard what the other was saying.* ''WesternAnimation/PBAndJOtter'': Jelly and Pinch put Peanut in the middle of their fight in "The Silent Treatment," to the point where he collapses on the ground from tiredness of running back and forth between them.* In "Date Night" from ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'', Don refuses to speak with the babysitter Keira, using Buddy as his messenger, until he finally warms up to her.* In ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', Raimundo and Kimiko do this through Omi once. Since they were right next to each other at the time, they directly respond to one another while keeping up the TellHimImNotSpeakingToHim charade, leaving naive Omi to politely try to send the message at each interval.----
