If you have a Kidde fire extinguisher make sure it is not recalled. See pictures for example.Īfter all of that soldering it was time to test it and luckily everything lit up. This will simplify soldering these together. NOTE: When laying out the strips you want the the connections to be the same on either side of the gap. See PDF for the layout dimensions I used. I haven't done much soldering so this was going to really test my soldering skills but I liked the layout so I stubbornly stayed with the harder but better looking design. The way I laid out the LED strips meant that it would be a lot of smaller strips soldered together. The panels dimensions are 5.5 inches by 7.5 inches. I was originally just going to use a MDF sheet for both the front and the back but there was a piece of scrap aluminum at work that was large enough to use.

The Dilemma of Direct Lighting with Conventional Optical Design. I got them to work but I no longer will buy anything from them. After contacting the company they would only do their standard return which meant not getting reimbursed for the shipping cost.

Pierce/Assault and Sniper Gun: Using overhead homing or pseudo-homing shot or laser type bullets are the easiest way to kill a Fallen Chi-You.But still watch out for its spark karate chop attack, which can inflict Stun, and 360 degree spinning attack. Land a couple of hits before it attacks, evade or block, then and land a few more blows during the backswing animation, then rinse and repeat. It usually makes some noise and steels itself first before attacking. The best way to melee attack a Fallen Chi-You is to circle around it and wait for it to attack.These parts become weak to blaze once unbound. ![]() Elemental: Blaze elemental blades are effective against all of Fallen Chi-You's body parts other than the lower legs and arm wings.You might also want to target the arm wings to inflict Down on Chi-You and make the part weak against the blaze attribute. Aim for the fist and/or the upper body to maximize your damage. Wait for it to perform a move with a long animation before attacking it with Charge Crush. Crush/Buster Blades: Not the best weapon to use against Fallen Chi-You.You can also target and unbound the arm wings to make it weak against the blaze attribute. After this, you may opt to continue using blaze elemental impulse Edge on the lower body to inflict Down on Fallen Chi-You or you may shift your attacks to its fist or the upper body as these parts are weak to sunder.

The heating element isn’t great, as it is a 1600w thermal coil, but it does have a PID (unfortunately not adjustable), and an auto purge function. Around me, it often goes on sale and is extremely cheap, plus, it comes with a full compliment of accessories like a steaming jug, tamper, and full set of 1 and 2 short single and double walled baskets. I think the Breville Duo Temp Pro is weirdly underrated. For ~$100 or so more, the Bambino Plus is a good upgrade over the base Bambino. However, it does lose the hot water function of the base Bambino. Additionally, it has an auto milk steaming function and auto purge. First of all, it comes with a set of unpressurized portafilters in the box (at least in some markets). Finally, with a 3 second start up time, the Bambino is probably also the fastest way to get hot water.įor ~$100 or so over the base Bambino, the Bambino Plus gets a few additional features. ![]() The machine can also support an unpressurized portafilter if you decide to swap it out. Overall, its affordable price, low profile, and fast startup time puts it ahead of most of the affordable competition. Additionally, it has an (albeit unadjustable) PID system, something that most other cheap pressurized portafilter systems do not have. Breville’s advantage here is its Thermojet system, that allows for a really quick 3 second set up time. The base Bambino is a simple small profile low end machine, designed to compete against cheap pressurized portafilter machines. Considering that other dual boiler machines are typically significantly more expensive, the Breville Dual Boiler is probably the best machine in its class at its price point. It also has a large aftermarket community, with plenty of mods such as flow control. Depending on where you are, it is probably the cheapest dual boiler espresso machine you can get, and it includes features that you would like such as adjustable PID, pressure gauge and full sized 58mm portafilter. Probably Breville’s best machine, the Breville Dual Boiler is an affordable dual boiler machine that has probably every single feature an enthusiast might need. I personally think a good case could be made for buying every single machine in the S, A and B tiers, but I’d say skip everything below that. S tier: Dual Boiler, Bambino/Bambino Plus.I will not be taking reliability into account, as I have no used enough of them to establish a representative sample for each model. I thought I might as well go over every single machine in the Breville roster, sort them into a tier list, and talk about which ones you should buy and which ones should you skip. Some of their machines are great, while you should probably steer clear of some of their other machines. Breville/Sage probably sells more espresso machines than anyone else. ![]() 11/29/2023 0 Comments Zankou chicken anaheim![]() ![]() ![]() Rita Iskenderian said her husband, who was by then battling cancer, had wanted to settle family issues.Īccording to Glendale police statements, a loud argument was heard and shots were fired. Their mother, Markrid, 75, was also there. 14, 2003, Mardiros drove to the home of his sister, Dzovig Marjik, 45. The fight became increasingly bitter over the years. For several years, Mardiros and other members of the family fought over various aspects of the business, including the rights to the Zankou name. The business’ patriarch, Vartkes, died in 1992. But his parents balked at the idea, and Mardiros struck out on his own, opening Zankou branches in Anaheim, Glendale, Pasadena and Van Nuys. The oldest of their three children, Mardiros, worked with them in the restaurant and had ambitious plans to expand the operation, even to Paris. The couple eventually fled war-torn Lebanon and in 1984 opened the first Zankou in America on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood. Their shop was tiny, but the tangy garlic sauce that Markrid invented distinguished it from the competition. Zankou Chicken started humbly - it was founded in Beirut in 1962 by Armenian couple Vartkes and Markrid Iskenderian. “But people haven’t seen a multi-state chain doing this type of food before.” “Chinese food has a very broad appeal so does Mexican food,” Ludington said. But there’s a heightened risk when moving beyond the traditional hamburger and fried chicken staples in a fast-casual chain. He thinks a chain like Zankou with Middle Eastern-inspired food could catch on in diverse metropolitan areas. “There are a lot of attractive locations right now that you can get in some very prime locations for next to nothing,” said Brad Ludington, a senior restaurant analyst for KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. They just want the same things when they go to any in the chain.”Įven though the economy is far from robust, it could be a good time for a small chain to take the plunge. “The customer doesn’t know who owns what. “The danger is if they don’t meet up to customers’ expectations - if they have different prices or different recipes,” said Bonnie Riggs, a restaurant industry analyst with NPD Group. “There are too many bad feelings.”Ĭhain restaurants depend on a strong central core that demands uniformity in the branches. “I don’t think things can be fixed,” Iskenderian said. And that’s not a good recipe for expansion. In 2003, the fight reached horrific proportions when her husband, the son of Zankou’s founders, fatally shot his mother and sister.Īlthough the two sides now coexist, there is no real peace. “Everybody is doing their business, but the relations are bad,” said Rita Iskenderian, who, with her four sons, runs eight of the restaurants. And that family is at war, with two factions long in battle over the chain. So why has expansion of the chain, which debuted in Hollywood in 1984 and once had dreams of spreading across the nation and even to Europe, been so tough?Īlthough there are signs that it’s finally getting off the ground - five more Zankous opened in Southern California in recent years, bringing the total to 10 - it’s a family-run business. Zankou was even mentioned in a Beck song, “Debra.” Critics as far away as New York have swooned over its secret garlic sauce, and the Zagat Guide has called its chicken dinner “the single best takeout dish in town.” Families line up at the little restaurant chain’s counters for moderately priced rotisserie entrees. ![]() 11/29/2023 0 Comments Purple tree kentucky![]() ![]() Pruning out the diseased branches and disposing of the cuttings will significantly help to reduce disease.

Similarly, if a couple gets involved in unprotected sex without using contraceptive methods resulting in a pregnancy, what step should they take, if they’re not prepared for the baby? At the end, it is the pregnant lady who suffers everything. What about the rights of the mother? If a woman is pregnant due to unfortunate incidents like rape then is it not her right to choose abortion? After all it is her body and she as a human being has control over it. It is wrong to cause pain and trauma to a potential life. This argument is further said to be misleading by anti-abortion groups because according to them, if a cell has life, it will experience pain if killed. Hence, if killed before, it won’t amount to killing a life. So generally embryos start showing signs of heartbeat development in at least 21 days of conception. If killing a fetus is wrong, then amputating a hand or a leg in case of accident must also amount to murder.įurther, proponents of abortion believe the embryo in a womb must only be considered to be a human after it has reached a certain stage of development. Just because a group of living cells exist in the womb, it is not right to call it a “human being”. As per the supporters of abortion, there is no fixed definition of “human being” in the womb. In response to this sensitive question, pro-choice people come up with their own logical argument. ![]() So killing a fetus is just like killing a human being, which is completely wrong. Is it ethically/morally wrong to kill any fetus that has the potential to life? Those against abortion argue that a fetus is very much alive like us and has the capacity to evolve into a complete human being. Following are some ethical issues that need to be thought over deeply. In debates on abortion, it is always wise to be unbiased as only that can help you arrive at a better position to conclude anything. But as individuals we can study and know more on both sides of the story and then form our opinions. So does the debate on abortion have any end? Probably not. Nevertheless, there are pro-life enthusiasts who’re against abortion and then there are pro-choice groups, who’re either partially or completely in favor of abortion. It is virtually impossible to give a legal judgment in any case of abortion in quick time because the debate is extremely complex and every single question raises more sub-questions and sub-parts. If you look at it from the moral angle, there are many dimensions associated to abortion. ![]() ![]() The issue of abortion presents an ethical, psychological and religious dilemma for women and couples who wish to opt for abortion. Besides these people, some don’t have any idea whether to support or go against abortion. On the other hand, if there are life-threatening conditions for the mother, some people resort to the idea that abortion is a better choice, from an ethical viewpoint. For some people, abortion in essence is completely wrong, as it is a serious blow to the existence of morality and human values. In a democratic country like the US, where liberation and right to freedom of choice are given the most priority, it is not surprising to witness two different groups of staunch supporters when it comes to the abortion debate. ![]() |
