East ocean alameda dim sum menu10/3/2023 The cart is out of shrimp rolls, their favorite - but no need to settle for less. Meanwhile, an elderly couple picks out a plate of steamed rice noodle rolls from another cart. There's usually a couple of places inside the Ranch 99 mall that are pretty decent + authentic for Chinese palates.Nearly every dish served during dim sum is a crowd-pleaser.Ī gaggle of twentysomethings examine the dumpling cart’s offerings, each little metal container releasing a chimney of steam as the cart lady opens it for display. Dai Mo on the other side of the parking lot was a decent place for less fancy Cantonese food. Since it was a nicer venue than Alameda East Ocean, and better food than Emeryville East Ocean, it was kind of a Chinese dinner banquet pipeline pre-Covid for the Chinese and Vietnamese crowd, not sure what they're like now since covid has changed a lot of places for the worse.Īsian Pearl in the Richmond Ranch 99 plaza was always pretty solid for Chinese seafood and dim sum. Pacific Lighthouse on the Alameda Island Yacht Harbor has a much nicer view (not as nice as East Ocean Emeryville) and pretty decent dim sum for flavor/value. This isn't unique to the area, NYC Chinatown had the same thing going on back when I was growing up on the East Coast. Since then, the Koi Palace founders opened Dragon Beaux which is a crazy popular "fusion" dim sum joint in SF, so I'd be shocked if East Ocean Emeryville was actually better.Įast Ocean Alameda is the main place our family goes to, but it has the common "Big Box Dim Sum" problem where you're basically in a giant windowless box that has been dressed up with Chinese furniture. I haven't been to Koi Palace in Daly City in about 20 years, but it was heads and shoulders above East Ocean Emeryville, even back then. But the view is awesome - its good for impressing people who don't really know what good dim sum tastes like, and who might be more impressed by the view across the bay at sunset. If you're picky about the actual dim sum, then East Ocean Emeryville is overpriced and mediocre. Yung Kee/King Kong > * for their roast duck.Ībove list is a compilation of all the great places mentioned in the comments of this post.Gum Kuo (Cantonese breakfast) in Oakland Chinatown.China Live in SF Chinatown (don't get the ghost kitchen delivery ones they're awful).It has better (imo) hand pulled noodles with sichuan flavors and spice. We’ve gone twice and think it has the best shen jian bao and xiao long bao in this area. Special Noodle just opened in the 99 Ranch mall in Richmond.Gum Kuo in Oakland Chinatown or in Dublin-the best Cantonese BBQ I know of in the east bay, if there's better, I wanna know about it!.New Gold Medal in Oakland Chinatown-good Cantonese fare (jook and noodle kinda stuff), open late.Peony in Oakland Chinatown-for dim sum or Cantonese banquet fare, it's not quite as good as East Ocean, but the location and venue are both great, and this is an old stalwart I think is worthy to celebrate and support.More great suggestions from the comments: Da lian - It's right there in the gourmet ghetto.Delicious Chinese food and it’s organic :) Beautiful interior, too it’s very earthy and inviting. Renee’s Place in Albany - Renee establishes such a personal connection with her customers.King Yen in the Elmwood for their walnut prawns.New Dumpling in El Cerrito is very good.Cheng Du Style - is underrated and hits the spot.Good to Eat Dumplings in Emeryville - it’s Taiwanese, my Chinese friends says it tastes like home to them.Noodle dynasty - Its delicious and the portions are huge! It’s on Telegraph.Yet Wah - is a bit out of the way out in Marin county, but is a local favorite. ![]() ![]()

Automatic slims memphis zorro camarones10/2/2023 ![]() I would definitely go back to Automatic Slim's. They both bent over backwards to accommodate our "quest". Automatic Slims 4. Bob was our bartender both nights, and Jeff our server on Saturday. I can't overstate how helpful the bartender, Bob, and our server, Jeff, were to us. Tables and banquettes downstairs provide a good view of the long bar, where locals line up to meet and drink the martinis. The chicken curry pasta was a little heavy on the curry side for some, but my taste of it was good. WIth all of the barbeque options, Automatic Slims is a nice change. ![]() Four of the party ordered beef tenderloin, both the standard menu item (quite delicious I was told) and the crab meat topped special, which was also quite good. I ordered the shrimp (tasty but spicy hot), which I wish had been served with some kind of vegetable. Address: 83 S 2ND St Memphis, TN, 38103-3009 United States Phone: Website: Employees (this site). After viewing the menu on Friday we decided to come back for dinner on Saturday. Doing Business As: AUTOMATIC SLIMS TONGA CLUB. With the exception of 2 or 3, at least one of our party liked each martini, with some, like the Key Lime Pie, being big hits. Their list of 40-50 martini's brought out the competitors in us, and we decided we would have one of each over the course of the weekend. On a recent girls trip weekend, we discovered Automatic Slim's happy hour lasts from 11am until 7pm every day, offering $5 martini's during that time.

Optical to rca cable10/2/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The amount of jitter in the recovered clock depends on how much jitter is in the incoming signal transitions, and the ability of the PLL to reject it. This is done with a PLL synchronized with the incoming SPDIF transitions. SPDIF embeds the clock into the signal, so it must be recovered. This is a "receiver not doing its job" problem, not a cable problem. If the receiver doesn't clean jitter properly then you'll have audible differences between cables. If it does it properly, there will be no measurable difference, and good luck hearing anything in a double blind test. This only matters if your DAC at the receiving end doesn't implement proper clock recovery (ie, WM8805, ESS DACs, or other FIFO-based systems). If the coax implementation is botched (not enough bandwidth extension on the low end, violation of 75R impedance, high intersymbol interference, etc) it can also add jitter. Optical receivers add a lot more jitter (in the ns range) than well-implemented coaxial. Also SPDIF includes error-checking, so the receiver will mask any errors. Anyone who talks about bit errors in SPDIF has something to sell, usually an expensive gimmick to solve a non-existent problem. If the digital signal is too attenuated the receiver won't be able to decode it, or errors will occur).īarring a major issue, all the bits will be there with both systems (I checked). (Note 1dB/m is for the digital signal, not the analog audio. Connectors are, of course, not compatible. This isn't high-quality glass-core telecom fiber with 1-2dB/km loss! This doesn't matter for a 1m long fiber in your home cinema, but if you need a 100 meter run, coax will be the only option. Whether 192k is a marketing gimmick or useful is an interesting question, but if you want to use it and your optical reveiver doesn't support it then you'll have to use coax. Of course you can buy optical transceivers with much higher bandwidth (for ethernet, among other things), but you won't find these in audio gear.Ĭoax has no trouble with bandwidth, it'll pass 384k with no trouble, whether it will sound better is left as an exercise for the marketing department. That's rather binary: it works or it does't. ![]() If you want to know which one you got, make a test. The majority of optical transceivers on the market will have enough bandwidth for 24bits/96kHz, but only a few will pass 24/192k, and none pass 384k. This really matters for cable TV boxes which are connected to the cable's ground, as this tends to create annoying ground loops. A quick test with a multimeter between digital RCA ground and any other RCA ground will reveal if there is transformer isolation or not. Coax can also be isolated with a transformer, however this adds to the cost and is uncommon in consumer equipment. Optical fiber isn't conductive, so it solves ground loops, hum/buzz issues and any is insensitive to RF interference. I want to ask, within the scope of digital audio transmission, it is their any observable or measurable differences between the two cables? Needless to say, this issue is not present in the optical versions, and thus they are more suited to hot-plugging. For this reason I have often been told that you should always connect the RCA connectors first, before connecting the entire system to the mains voltage - or use the ground lug that some of these devices have to reference the system to mains earth at all times. In the RCA connectors, the first connection is the center pin that carries the data. If data is connected first, this still happens - but the currents to do so now have to flow through your likely far more sensitive digital receiver circuits. As a result, the two circuits being connected are first pulled to the same potential, and then the actual data is connected. If you look at most modern connectors, you will see that the ground connection is made first. It also means that the grounds can't act as a big antenna which might make it easier to get low noise in the system as a whole.Īnd additional disadvantage of the RCA connectors is in the ground connection. As a result, there might be less issues with ground loops, networks can remain isolated, etc. In the case of optical, there is galvanic isolation between the two. With RCA, the two networks connected have to be referenced to each other. In addition to the answer of TimB, there is another advantage of this optical communication.

My passion for working with salvaged and discarded materials is not simply about recycling waste, but a necessary recognition of the obligations we all must share to limit the damage caused by our often unthinking consumption. It is vitally important that we reframe our understanding of what sustainability actually means in very real terms, the most sustainable materials are those that already exist. Reflecting my passions for science, art and design, history and memory, these are distinctive and unique objects with a rich sense of character and a deep hint of mystery. ![]() ![]() As a result, many are one-off pieces that may never be repeated. I do not simply flip pieces, they are all carefully restored and repurposed, sometimes waiting for the right detail or component in order to be finished. The process of transforming them into new pieces is intended to show just how much possibility there can be in many of the things that we habitually throw away. This work represents my commitment to more sustainable living practices through the refashioning of older materials to newer purposes.

As for web design, lower resolutions such as 72 or 96 are generally preferred since they load faster than higher resolutions without sacrificing a huge loss of quality. Printers require images to be saved at 300 DPI for optimal quality. This is why it’s important to set your DPI properly when exporting artwork for print or web use. If you are printing an image at 72 DPI, it would likely appear blurry and pixelated, whereas if you were to print it at 300 DPI, it would look smooth and crisp. How to set DPI in Illustrator Why Do You Need to Set DPI in Illustrator In this case, if you see DPI being used in this guide, it is the same as PPI in Illustrator, unless otherwise stated. When it comes to the value, there’s nothing to worry about, Adobe has confirmed that “ the conversion of PPI to DPIis usually 1:1“. The similarity between them is the value. How to set DPI in Illustrator What is the Similarity Between DPI and PPI?īoth DPI and PPI refer to something similar, hence, it’s easy for us to get confused with the terms. Due to the constant usage of DPI via such communication, “DPI” becomes the common term to use when someone is referring to the quality or resolution of a file.ģ00 DPI becomes the default DPI resolution in a custom setting for producing sharp printouts. They are not wrong, because DPI is the correct term when it comes to the resolution of printed images. Most of them would have likely instructed you to increase the DPI of your design. The people in the print shop will have to communicate with you to set and change your file to a preferred resolution. There’s nothing the printer can do if you were to submit a file with poor or low-resolution images. When it comes to printing, submitting a good enough resolution to the printer is key to the results of the finished product or printed artwork. Then why is DPI always been used and PPI is seldom heard of? There isn’t a scientific answer to this, but based on my own experience as a designer for more than 20 years, print work used to be huge in the graphic design industry. ![]() How to set DPI in Illustrator Why do Some People Use DPI Instead of PPI in Illustrator?Īt this point in this guide, you know that DPI and PPI are not exactly the same things. You can do that and the text will still look crisp, sharp, and clear at any size due to its vector properties. For example, there are times you may wish to enlarge text in Illustrator to make a drop cap or emphasize certain words in a paragraph. Note that this does not apply to editable or outlined text in Illustrator. The higher the DPI, the more dots it has, and the more detailed and sharp an image will look when printed.Ī lower-resolution or pixelated image has fewer but bigger pixels than a higher-resolution image PPI is meant to be used for web or digital purposes.In other words, it’s how you see the image file on your screen that’s not yet printed out. PPI is also the Adobe or Illustrator image resolution.DPI is meant to be used in a printing process.DPI is a measure of the resolution of a printed image and refers to the number of ink dots that can be placed in one inch on a printed page.The difference between DPI and PPI in Illustrator is that DPI has to do with the printer resolution or printed image from an output device while PPI has to do with the number of pixels on the image displayed on a screen.
