![]() ![]() I’ve been working in world-class kitchens my entire life, and I’ve also been able to cook in many home kitchens. How is your own personal spin, both as a professional chef and as a person who cooks at home, incorporated in the soon-to-be-released kitchen designs from Van Metre? This partnership really represented the opportunity to bring a constructive idea to the classic home kitchen and give home chefs a world-class kitchen they can feel good about. But that’s not really functional for a home chef or someone who is actually trying to entertain in the kitchen. The idea is that … I’ve always felt like the standard kitchen is designed behind this idea of the holy triangle, where the sink, island and fridge are all connected. A lightbulb went off, he reached out and we hit it off. He visited one of my restaurants, Vim & Victor, and loved the aesthetic and design of the kitchen. Glenn Forester had logged onto my website and saw the different things I’ve been up to, as I am not really the typical chef. I think Van Metre was looking for a way to amplify the message and they started seeking out a chef. Van Metre and I definitely share the same belief that the soul of a home for most people is in the kitchen, at least it is in my family. Photo by Jim Vecchione What inspired this partnership between you and Van Metre? Find highlights from our conversation below. The Van Metre x Spike initiative will include the launch of Spiked Kitchen, featuring several designs for the home that are inspired by the needs of a chef, as well as in-person and virtual demonstrations that at-home cooks can follow along with.Īhead of the launch, we chatted with Mendelsohn about what it was like to intertwine the standard home kitchen with that of a chef’s, how his personal style is incorporated into the designs and so much more. From working with local organizations to make a positive impact on the food system, to owning and operating more than five different dining concepts in the DMV, his decades-long career has been diverse.Īnd now, this fall, Mendelsohn is trying something new once again by becoming the brand ambassador to NoVA-based builder Van Metre Homes.

If you’ve seen my stuff, you know I’m a stickler for low emf, low voc, no frills, so we can use the extra money saved on NOT buying a full spectrum sauna to get more effective health equipment.īut this is me, and I’m fully aware that not everyone wants what I want. The M Pulse is high quality cabinetry though, I’ll give them that. Which means neither model are low body voltage.īut if you had to pick between the two, the Signature is much lower overall in EMF. However, neither the Sunlighten Signature nor the Sunlighten M Pulse have electric fields mitigated. The Sunlighten Signature is lower magnetic, but not as low as some of the other saunas on the list. The M Pulse is high emf compared to Radiant, but the Signature is a bit better. Radiant Health has electric and magnetic fields mitigated, and there is no bluetooth in their saunas. ![]() You can see this clearly in the video where I take it a part) It doesn’t pass through like far infrared does, so I’m not sure why you’d want to pay all that extra money for it. I talk about this at length in my youtube videos, but you can’t have NIR led’s behind a grill. The Sunlighten M Pulse is nowhere near similar on price, emf levels, etc… It’s in a category of it’s own, but there are some feature in it that are questionable. ![]() Unless you’re comparing the Sunlighten Signature to the Radiant Health Elite, they’re kind of apples to oranges like some other sauna comparisons. I’ve gotten a few questions this week about Radiant Health saunas compared to Sunlighten saunas. ![]() ![]() ![]() Videopad System Requirements for Windows Minimum:

I'll buy a more expensive SSD in the future, since the one that I have now should have to do. I'll install my OS there and I have a 500GB SSD, I should then install my applications (Davinci Resolve, Games, etc.), Davinci Resolve files in the 500GB SSD and leave the 256GB SSD alone for the OS, correct? I hope that helps and is a reasonable spend. for $500 or less, you'll have your DVR storage solution. If you can do this, put your cache drive, especially the cache drive, and file drive is their own SATA channels. You might give that some thought and check your MB as to what it will allow you to partition your SATA channels. I set up my MB so that I have separate SATA channels and assign my different drives so that they are well utilize by the OS, giving some parallel optimization possible. Not all my drives are on a single SATA channel. It works just fine for me.Īnd here is another tidbit that I think does help squeeze I/O performance. In this case, I just have to dock their drive and work the files from it. Why do I have this setup you ask? Well, filmmakers who comes and have me work on their pictures usually have their clips on either 2.5" SSDs, 3.5" HDD and usually formatted as Ext-FAT already. You can find them on Amazon and they are not expensive. My setup for file drive: Although I have an internal 30Tb HDD which your budget won't allow and probably will not need, I have a 2.5/3.5 multi-dock hot swap drive bay. Depending on your project, you can even use this drive for archiving as well. Get an 8Tb drive which will give you then lowest cost per MB ($200). A mechanical 7200rpm drive should be good for holding your files during edit. I found to get better performance with a RAID 0 setup but I think different folk's mileage will vary so go with whatever is cheaper for you.įile Drive: HDD 7200rpm. I suggest getting a 2Tb ($180) or 2 1Tb SSD set it up as RAID 0. This is where you invest more for the cost. This can be a 512Gb SSD ($50).ĭRV Cache Drive: SSD or NVMe drive. ![]() I'd keep the project files (or database on a separate drive). This does not have to be large as well but depending on how much project you have. Even a 256Gb SSD ($30) or NVMe is good enough.ĭRV Project Database only: SSD. If this is just your DVR workstation, you don't need a lot of storage here. OS and Application only: SSD or NVMe drive. My recommendation is that you save up a bit and at a minimum configure your storage system like this: ![]() Using your boot drive as your application drive, and your working drive will not be optimal, regardless if it was an SSD or better. Whatever is the weakest link will cause DVR to be dismal. I just feel that my computer is not running Davinci Resolve optimally since my boot drive and the files I'm working on are on the same SSD. What if I use an HDD as my second Drive? Would that work too, I just can't afford a SSD at the moment. Joemart wrote:So based on what almost everyone is saying is that I should have a second SSD for the files i'll be working on or for it to work as a cache. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not keeping the core tight and locking the spine in. Unfortunately, most lifters do pullovers incorrectly, negating many of the benefits while simultaneously producing trauma to the joints and connective tissue. Done right, the movement pattern is very similar to an ab rollout or long-lever plank. They're incredibly effective for working the entire core because you're essentially resisting extension forces on the spine as you move from shoulder flexion to extension. Besides improving stability and mobility in the shoulders (when performed properly), they also tax nearly every muscle in the upper body. Pullovers are one of the most underrated exercises.

For applicants requesting a paper check, distribution began the week of October 6. Recipients who elected to get their PFD and energy relief payment via direct deposit should have already received it via a single direct deposit on September 20.
