![]() ![]() ![]() Many of the auto-soap dispensers out there can use up to four AA batteries which can last up to ten thousand hand washes before you have to replace them. Q: What is the lifespan of auto-soap dispensers? With a soap dispenser, you will have an accurate amount each time. You may find it difficult to use liquid soaps if you don't have a dispenser. If the soap comes in a dispenser that is mounted close to the faucet, you will find it easy to wash your dishes without needing to search for the soap each time you need to use it. If you find an excellent dispenser that coordinates effectively with your kitchen faucet, it will give your kitchen the facelift it deserves. Here are a few reasons why you should get yourself a suitable soap dispenser. But while searching for a motion-sensitive device, you don't need the sensitivity to be too much, especially if there are kids who will use the dispenser What makes soap dispensers so important? Īnyone who wants to wash their hands will want it done quickly, which is why you need a dispenser that comes with excellent motion detection. You may select from bronze or glass dispensers if you don't mind forking out some extra cash. There is a wide range of quality soap dispensers for customers who are fans of elegance. You may purchase a plastic dispenser which is generally affordable, but the quality may not be guaranteed. If you feel the cheapest dispensers are the best, you may be wrong. It would help if you had a dispenser that is designed correctly so that the batteries don't get wet because it is not watertight. Note that the dimension should be selected depending on where it will be used.Īlso, some dispensers are made with a battery compartment which is found at the base. The space will dictate the amount of shampoo or soap you can place and the period it will last. Where you intend to mount the dispenser is quite essential. Before choosing this, make sure it comes with IPX4 protection. They may be electrically, or battery powered. They come with infrared sensors, and the soap gets automatically discharged by simply placing your hands under it. Auto-dispensers, on the other hand, come equipped with top-quality technology. This type of sensor is used by pressing a sensor. The manual dispensers do not use batteries and also do not come with a hand sensor. You can opt to choose between manual and automatic dispensers depending on what your needs are. However, the wall-mounted dispenser is ideal for commercial use due to hygiene reasons. The freestanding dispenser is perfect for use in the kitchen. Selecting a wall-mounted or freestanding dispenser largely depends on what you are searching for.

You will do well to ensure that the sensor is intuitive so that it will dispense soap as soon place your hand under the sensor. Īlso, be observant about the sensor of the auto dispenser you intend to buy. Go for a robust, durable, and large enough dispenser that will do a decent job holding as much soap as you need per time. A dispenser with a value lower than this is not ideal because there will be a need to fill the dispenser bottle. Go for a dispenser with at least seven ounces of capacity. Īnother critical factor you should consider is the dispenser capacity which is measured in ounces. There is a brand with batteries that last up to 10,000 hand wash which literarily translates to at least three months of the machine dispensing soap. Ensure to buy a dispenser that comes with good battery timing so there won't be a need to replace the batteries repeatedly. Any of the top brands will make their dispenser come with batteries. Ensure to check if the product comes with a battery. If you want an auto soap dispenser, you should know that batteries will power it.

![]() ![]() So far everything works fine, but problems might arise further down the track. Not a problem, as I don't need it, but if you want to install on USB, you might have to insert an extra USB controller. ![]() My onboard USB controller is not recognized by ESXi. Ive search high and wide for the various codec settings used and cant find it so far in this forum. TranscodeMPEGAC3 is apparently not the correct setting for iPhones though. Pre-scan with the Scan all folders in the navigate section. Be careful though with the hardware you chose. gmackenz wrote:Well, Ive solved the timeout as PS3 Media server scanned the directory. I haven't got any experience putting all this on USB storage. Adding a small extra disk for all this should be sufficient. Ubuntu server edition doesn't take much space either, and neither does FreeNAS. That's why in the end I didn't opt for a Synology NAS with Plex capabilities (they are usually Atom based), but went for a PC with FreeNAS based on Intel Core i3 for the transcoding. On those mobile devices you need transcoding if you use a codec that is not supported by the mobile OS (so most codecs). So generally you put it on your media center PC and your mobile devices. The client can be installed on Windows, Mac, iOS and Android. You run the Plex server on your media server (you can even run it on some higher end dedicated NAS devices from Synology and Qnap). You can think of it as XBMC in a client server model. The alternative is to build my new box for storage only, (a bit cheaper/less hardware) and keep using my desktop PC to transcode the movies - eventually get a Boxee or something that can replace the PS3 Media Server desktop.Īlso, will I lose the stored data if I start with a single drive (say a 3TB disk), fill it up and then buy another one and decide to create a RAID configuration? If you’re a member of a Plex Home, you can use this option to have the app automatically sign in to the last used user and bypass any PIN for that user. I really want to avoid a GPU because of the noise/heat, will a decent CPU be enough to run the FreeNAS and do transcoding of 1080p? Settings for the Plex for PlayStation app can be accessed from the (accessed by selecting your avatar image) located at the top of the the Navigation Side Bar. For storage I'm thinking up to four 2-3TB drives in RAID5. The box needs high wife approval factor, so I'm going for a fanless power supply and a micro ATX card and a decent looking, probably "box-like", silent case. Is it unwise to combine FreeNAS with transcoding? What kind of hardware would be required to have FreeNAS running smoothly (quite large torrent throughput, running basically 24/7) and have it transcode full HD videos (using for example PS3 Media Server) a couple of nights each week? I know transcoding is pretty heavy stuff, especially 1080p, and my desktop PC currently doing it has good hardware and lots of RAM so I'm not really sure abot the lower limit. (mainly to even out the costs over a couple of months, but it also seems more future proof, plus I want something to build)Īt first I planned to have it as a strict NAS, handling only storage, but as I frequently stream and transcode video to my entertainment room from my desktop PC (currently), I am now thinking if I could put some more (or at least better) hardware into the NAS box and perhaps give it the role of my video transcoder as well? Currently I am using PS3 Media Server for this and it works very well for my purposes. Even if the PS3 Media Server is able to play all the video files out there, some of them (the ones that are not supported by the PlayStation 3, yet) will require real-time video transcoding. Planned to use a NetGear NAS Ultra first but I changed my mind and will go with custom box + FreeNAS. The PS3 Media Server that you previously downloaded comes to use here.Hi, I'm currently looking into centralizing all my spread out USB and internal drive storage and am putting together a new box. In fact, the PS3 actually fits best for this purpose. What this also means is you don't need to deal with transcoding of videos, resulting in clearer picture quality. There's one secret of the PS3 that makes its presence felt over the Xbox 360: The support for more video formats the Microsoft-made console. So going ahead, make note that you will be needing you console, a computer with a copy of PS3 Media Server and a stable home network that connects both your console and PC on the same router.įrom here on, when you are all set up, it will become easy to stream audio files, videos and images to your console-turned-home entertainment system wireless with just a few clicks. We aren't big fans of too much work, you see. Oh, and did we mention that it's free? With the console, you can even copy stuff directly to a hard drive or USB stick, but that process is too much work. That's one of the simplest and best cross-platform options you will ever get in this respect. Since we are dealing with the PS3 here, you will need to use the PS3 Media Server. ![]() ![]() ![]() Ombre nails are very in this season and this candy corn ombre design is super trendy and just too cute for words!

![]() It's the first time I've had gel acrylics and they're short and I'm happy. Then they make you feel bad for going shorter (like that video on FB!) But this woman cut right to the chase, bam super short and then asked. ![]() Usually they cut half way down (still 4cm long) and think that's short. They were the first nail salon to actually listen to me when I said I wanted my fake nails SHORT. Most of the other staff members are friendly but at the end of the day, I'd prefer someone to just be damn good at their job more than anything. ![]() The lady who did my nails did a wonderful job (despite hating life it seemed). They're SUPER busy, it's probably better to book next time as they're very popular. I usually go somewhere closer to home but I ran out of time and ended up going here on my lunch break. I don't know how long they've been around - seems like they're relatively new. HMU if anyone knows any good nail salons in the CBD. I've even had to return back after the shellac peeled within the first day. The staff are sweet, but the nail jobs usually feel rushed and I leave disappointed. Sure the coffee was free, but then there's like milk, and a cup, and chocolate powder.I used to love this place, but I've decided I'm not going back. Imagine going to a coffee shop with the promise of a "free coffee," and being asked at the counter for $3. Apparently it costs $15 to buff nails and remove polish from one finger. So you can imagine my disbelief when I am asked at the counter for $15. After well over 10 visits I was super excited to claim my "free shellac," right in time for my 22nd birthday. Plus, the promise of a "free shellac" at the end of the card was too tempting an offer to go elsewhere. It's underneath where I work and was super convienient, almost too good to be true. So naturally I stamped my loyalty card every time I visited Liquid. But if you get the lady I had today, you’ll be sore and disappointed. If you’re lucky enough to get one of the kind girls who works there, and shows you genuine care and interest in you as a customer- then this place is the place to go to for your nails. Save yourself the money, pain and trouble it causes. But hell, I don’t want to go back to LNB. I asked for her name but she didn’t give her name to me so I can’t directly say who this nail lady was. I also asked to keep my natural long length of my own nails, but instead she cut them down so short, it’s unattractive and chipped my natural nail too. And when she asked me to stop shaking, I asked her to be more careful and gentle with the removal.īut instead, she continued being super rough and I was in pain. ![]() Removing the acrylics, she was so rough that I was in so much pain that my hands were shaking. It wasn’t overly busy so the lady I had could’ve given me her time and care but she didn’t. I was at the nail bar for no longer than 5-10 minutes. Mine were grown out a bit, so I thought the removal of my acrylics would be a nice, painless procedure and being a customer of LNB for a while, I thought and believed the nail lady would give me her time and care to ensure my natural nails are great before leaving. Usually I would give this place 5 stars and if you check previous reviews I’ve made about LNB, I have given them 5 star reviews but I can’t make that same review today.ĭue to circumstances, I had to have my acrylic nails removed. ![]() ![]() Return after dying in the Dark Mirror - you'll get it after ending your first runįirst Dark Mirror Destroyed - simply complete your first successful run (level 0) ![]() LEGENDARY SKULLS - achievement unlocks immediatelyĭark mirror content unlocks after beating the First Hero for the first time!Įnter the Dark Mirror to arrive in the Dark Side of Harmonia Acquire Carleon Commander - upgrade the Carleon Recruit to maxĪcquire Elder Ent Skull - upgrade the Ent Skull to maxĪcquire the Savior - upgrade the Grave Digger to maxĪcquire Desperado - upgrade the Petty Thief to maxĪcquire Vanguard Captain - upgrade the Skeleton-Pike to maxĪcquire Guard Captain - upgrade the Skeleton-Shield to maxĪcquire Royal Guard Captain - upgrade the Skeleton-Sword to maxĪcquire the Overlord - upgrade the Stone Monkey to maxĪcquire Eternal Werewolf - upgrade the Werewolf to maxĪcquire Thundergod - upgrade the Viking to max (DLC)Īcquire Demi-God - upgrade the Slave to max (DLC)Īcquire Dark Alchemist - upgrade the Alchemist to maxĪcquire Frozen Spirit - upgrade the Frost Skull to maxĪcquire Golden Gargoyle - upgrade the Gargoyle to maxĪcquire Ghoooooul - upgrade the Ghoul to maxĪcquire Sniper - upgrade the Hunter to maxĪcquire Minotaurus III - upgrade the Minotaurus to maxĪcquire Eternal Mummy - upgrade the Mummy to maxĪcquire Nightmare - upgrade the Rider to maxĪcquire Demolitions Expert - upgrade the Skeleton-Bomber to maxĪcquire Warlord - upgrade the Warrior to maxĪcquire Poseidon - upgrade the Water Skull to maxĪcquire God of War - upgrade the Officer to max (DLC)Īcquire Devil Berserker - upgrade the Berserker to maxĪcquire Dark Avenge - upgrade the Dark Paladin to maxĪcquire Abyssal Monarch - upgrade the Great Warlock to maxĪcquire Soul Knight - upgrade the Living Armor to maxĪcquire Master Ninja - upgrade the Ninja to maxĪcquire Destroyer - upgrade the Predator to maxĪcquire the King - upgrade the Prisoner to maxĪcquire Super Rock Star - upgrade the Rock Star to maxĪcquire Neo Samurai - upgrade the Samurai to maxĪcquire the Absolute - upgrade the Ascetic to max (DLC) ![]() ![]() In India, these fighter kites are called “patang” and are used in competitions during festivals such as the Indian Independence Day, Basant, and Makar Sankranti. In fact, its history begins in India, after India borrowed the invention of the kite from Chinese influence. The kite fighting sport did not originate from Japan. That last story does not have a happy conclusion - he was caught because he had been boasting about this act, and his entire family was boiled in oil. Some of these legends are very grandiose, telling stories of men who would ride kites to visit their lonely sons in faraway islands, while others spoke of a thief who flew up to the roof of Nagoya Castle to steal the golden scales of the statue of a dolphin perched on top. They were also used in religious practices and were incorporated in many mythological legends. Kites were made to aid in the construction of buildings, lifting carpentry materials up to rooftops. In Japanese, "kite" is written as “凧”, pronounced as “tako”. Buddhist monks who would travel from China to Japan would bring all sorts of cultural factors that would play major roles in Japan’s society, such as language, religion, and inventions – and one of those was the kite. Kites in JapanĬhina heavily influenced Japan during Japan’s infant years, so that’s how kites were introduced to Japan. A more aggressive, recreational kite sport that is famous in different countries and is often celebrated is kite fighting. There’s aerial ballet, for example, where sports kites are made to follow certain patterns of movement simultaneously to put up a show. Kites have so far been used as a lift to carry people off the ground, signals for the military, tools to test winds, a means of rescuing people, as a distance measurer, and so much more.Īs for recreational purposes, aside from the fun that comes with simply stringing a kite along, there are several competitions that involve the creation of kites, and the mastery of manipulating kites. Ever-progressing technology has aided in developing the kite to fly more efficiently and to be used for purposes both important and recreational. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A hearty winter dish is the short rib pappardelle served with unctuous whipped ricotta, gremolata, and a silky green peppercorn sauce.
