![]() ![]() The 1966 mockup was sold at auction for $70,150 in summer 2012. The Galileo shuttlecraft (a full-size theatrical prop) was not dismantled, but passed through the possession of several owners. During " The Omega Glory", the USS Exeter, a starship of the same class as the Enterprise, is said to carry four shuttlecraft. In the latter episode, the full-size mockup sported the name Galileo II, acknowledging that the original shuttlecraft was lost during " The Galileo Seven". Once the shuttlecraft had been established, footage of them appeared in episodes including " The Menagerie", " The Doomsday Machine", " Journey to Babel", " Metamorphosis", " The Immunity Syndrome", and " The Way to Eden". When Galileo and her crew go missing in the episode a second shuttlecraft called Columbus is launched. Its registration number is NCC-1701/7 and carries a crew of seven. The shuttlecraft, named for Galileo Galilei, was first featured in " The Galileo Seven". This boxlike, utilitarian shape became the prototype of shuttles throughout Star Trek. A separate set was used for interior scenes as the mockup was too small for filming. The final design of the mockup, by Gene Winfield, is 24 feet (7.2 m) long and weighs one ton, has a plywood hull, and was built in two months by a team of 12 people. AMT offered to build a full-sized shuttlecraft at no cost in exchange for rights to market a model kit. ![]() The curved shape proved too expensive to build for the first episodes. Shuttlecraft designs were often shared across different media, for example the Danube-class runabout featured heavily in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, was also featured in Star Trek: The Next Generation.Ī Shuttlecraft prop from the original series, in a museumĪrt director Matt Jefferies originally envisioned a sleek, streamlined shuttle based upon his background as a pilot. ![]() Though shuttlecraft were initially expensive to build, they were eventually used in every Star Trek series. For television writers, they served the dramatic function of putting characters in a small ship that could get lost. Used to carry personnel, cargo and reconnaissance payloads, shuttles filled the same need as boats on a navy ship. In the first year of Star Trek: The Original Series, the need quickly developed for shuttlecraft. For most of the series the transporter served to teleport characters on and off the ship. The shuttle rocket was too expensive to build for the first episodes. Dated March 1964, the premise mentions a "small shuttle rocket". Given the special effects complexity of landing a giant starship each week, "rarely" was quickly changed to "never". Gene Roddenberry's original premise stated that the starship Enterprise rarely lands. Also referred to as shuttles, their introduction preceded the development of the Space Shuttle.īefore Star Trek, science fiction productions from Forbidden Planet to Rocky Jones, Space Ranger assumed that a long-range starship would land on planets. Shuttlecraft are fictional vehicles in the Star Trek science fiction franchise built for short trips in space, such as between a planetary surface and orbit.

If you have a small kitchen and want a single waffle machine, the Presto Flipside is perhaps the only waffle maker we tested that is simultaneously affordable, space-conscious, and actually capable of making great waffles.Īt $13, it was by far the least expensive model we tested, and while it is not the best waffle maker, it’s perfectly serviceable. The Presto also only makes one waffle at a time, while the All-Clad cooks waffles in batches of four-regardless of the price consideration, this is a better waffle maker for people cooking waffles in smaller batches, while the All-Clad is great for feeding a whole family or a big brunch party. While the waffle maker is made of comparatively cheaper materials and is undoubtedly less durable than the more expensive All-Clad, it’s priced very reasonably. The instructions recommend a four-minute cook time, but we suggest cooking the waffles for five minutes.Įpi staffers who tasted the Presto’s waffles described them as “fluffy, but still nice and crisp along the edges,” and appreciated their deep wells, which could “hold maximum syrup and butter.” Every waffle we made with the Presto came out evenly cooked on both sides, a rarity for cheaper waffle makers. We found this design pleasantly straightforward and loved that it allowed you to more easily control the doneness of your waffle without the need of rigid brownness settings. There’s a timer on the base, which you set yourself depending on your waffle crispness preferences. ![]() While the All-Clad senses the doneness of your waffles automatically and alerts you with a beep, the Presto asks you to take a little more ownership over your waffle’s cook time. However, we realize that its price tag and heft may make it a prohibitive choice for many, which is why we are also fond of the Presto. ![]() When it came to waffles themselves, the All-Clad’s waffles still won over pretty much everyone in the blind taste test thanks to their superior craggy, crispy texture on the outside and pillowy interior, and thus we stand by our initial recommendation. While we did not venture into the world of “ will it waffle,” we came across anecdotal reviews that reported using it to make “amazing” brownies and panini. We did, however, notice that making only one or two waffles at a time, instead of filling all four waffle segments in the plate, throws off the machine’s ability to sense overall doneness our half batches came out a little underdone and unevenly cooked. And judging by the reactions of customers on Amazon who call this the “best waffle maker on the planet” and report that “the results are perfect every time,” our outcomes were not a fluke. Every batch of waffles comes out tall and airy, uniformly cooked on both sides: crisp and golden on the outside, moist and tender on the inside. The 4-square model allows you to feed a family in one fell swoop. Without removable plates the waffle maker is slightly cheaper, but it can be a hassle to clean-Epi digital director editor Maggie Hoffman, who has the same All-Clad waffle maker at home, says that her biggest frustration with it has actually been trying to clean it. The nonstick surface requires no greasing and releases the waffles with ease, and it is available with removable plates. The interior heats up evenly and is generously proportioned to produce one-inch-thick waffles with deep, crisp wells. The locking lid is solid and the handle feels comfortable in your hand. ![]() Indicator lights and a chime let you know when your waffles are done cooking. As for extra features, there’s a small clip-on drip tray attached to the rear of the waffle maker to catch any errant drips (it really works), and a sturdy dial that allows you to adjust your browning preferences on a scale of one to seven, one being the lightest and seven being the darkest. ![]() ![]() ![]() The fries provide the most flavor - a nice mix of paprika, salt, onion, and garlic with the smallest hint of cayenne pepper. ![]() White Hot Ranch aside, the rest of the burrito isn’t great either. I know that seems like an overly harsh way of describing it, but truly, it tastes like something that’s going bad like something you’re not supposed to eat. I like the heat level a lot, it’s surprising and probably the hottest sauce I’ve ever tasted from Taco Bell, but kind of curdles when mixed with the flavors and aroma of flour tortilla. Instead it hits you with a sharp tang that ignites your taste buds, leaving you with a pronounced and lingering burn. It doesn’t have that cool and refreshing quality that buttermilk ranch has. Let’s talk about the sauce first, since that’s the only part of this burrito that’s really new or novel. If you hate ranch dressing, this burrito is only going to make that hate grow stronger. If you like ranch dressing, this burrito might, at its best moments, make for an interesting curiosity. Okay, let me rephrase that, this burrito is entirely contingent on how much you like ranch dressing. No shade to the Chi but… this burrito is awful. Taco Bell - Steak White Hot Ranch Fries Burrito Dane Rivera But hey, if anyone can take something that sounds disgusting and make it disgustingly delicious, it’s Taco Bell. Over in the Windy City they love ’em, but here in California we’re kind of, you know, the capital of California Burritos, so it might be hard to win us over. Both preparations are joining the menu for a limited time, after a successful test run in Chicago last year. Which features all of the same ingredients except for - as you might have guessed by the name - the burrito. In what must be their attempt at another SoCal Mexican food favorite, carne asada fries, the item is also available as a Nacho Fry platter, dubbed the “Steak White Hot Ranch Fries” (seriously, who named these?). Doubling down on the doubling down theme, they marry the sour cream with a healthy dose of stinky White Hot Ranch, Taco Bell’s new spicy take on ranch dressing. They’ve traded the guacamole for tomatoes (for an easy hack, add the guacamole back in) and the jack for their salty sharp cheddar cheese, which they then double up with even saltier nacho cheese sauce. Okay, so the Steak White Hot Ranch Fries Burrito (worst name ever) is essentially Taco Bell’s version of a California burrito - a wonderful medley of flavors combining char-grilled carne asada with crispy French fries, melty Monterey Jack cheese, creamy guacamole, and cool sour cream. My brain didn’t just malfunction and starting spewing out random modifiers, that’s the actual name. So what are we eating today? The “Steak White Hot Ranch Fries Burrito.” No, I’m not having a stroke. So whatever else Taco Bell concocts with them, we figured, we’re in. They’re crispy, crunchy, and some of the best-seasoned fries you can order from a drive-thru in all of fast food. Taco Bell has answered our call and brought back its delicious Nacho Fries. ![]() ![]() Valid only on as marked select final sale apparel & accessories while supplies last.

They will then build them up all the while working towards taking power for themselves and their political faction. Initial MMO players will manage their conquered lands by organizing it into feudums, which are areas formed for administrative purposes. The lords of the land are all playing the “Game of Thrones” to see who can seize power and rule the land. Feudums take place in a land where the high king has died, leaving a power vacancy in his passing. In the 4X MMO-Strategy game Feudums, this is the level where players will start. Each lord provided management over individual fiefs, or feudums, in exchange for their loyalty and military and tax support. Nobles ranged from low-class (maybe even just titular, landless) nobles actually providing military service for their title and rank, to high-class nobles like the big landlords, holding several feudums and their own vassals, to the peers of the king - who could rival or exceeded their monarch in military or political power. Even ruling class members had a social strata depending on the circumstances of their birth and how powerful the family was. ![]() The next level up were the Nobles, or Lords, who ruled the king’s estates. A soldier could be knighted by a monarch or their liege and could even become a landholder - as a vassal to the king. ![]() Only the most exceptional soldier had even a remote chance to move up and out of the ranks of the peasantry. The best of the best might become a knight. While common soldiers weren’t held in much better regard than many serfs, they had better quarters and were better clothed and fed. The next layer of the pyramid were knights and soldiers. These enjoyed a better status in life although they worked just as hard to survive. While the great many serfs had no education or special skills, some showed promise and had an aptitude for woodworking or as a blacksmith. One small step up from serfs were freemen and craftsman. ![]() Serfs helds various jobs in a feudum - from working the fields, harvesting the resources of the land or working to make sure the buildings of the land were kept in repair, their lot in life was a hard one. Unlike slaves, however, they could not be bought, sold, or traded. They could not leave the land of their birth without permission and gave up much of what was produced to their lord. Serfs were just the regular people of their day who lived in the villages and worked the land of the feudum. Almost 90% of the population of Medieval Europe were serfs. In almost all cases, your position in the pyramid depended on your birth status and nothing more.Īt the bottom rung, were the serfs and peasants. Medieval societal structure was like a pyramid with the lower class creating the large base while slowly moving higher with more “royal” and less people occupying higher slots. But the European lords must of liked the pyramid design because they copied it, not in architecture, but for their society. The ancient Egyptians built their pyramids long before there were castles and knights in Europe. ![]() ![]() ![]() It may not have the same charm as PvZ, but it's a solid example of the more time-honored style of tower defense, and really showcases how the genre can be done well.

What's the Difference between Triglycerides and Cholesterol?įor most of our lives, we are worked up about the presence of the other fat in our body - cholesterol. Because triglycerides flow in our blood, we can analyse their values from a regular blood sample. Women, however, showed a tendency to accumulate more triglycerides before they hit 35. High triglycerides levels: When it crosses 200 and is less than 500 mg/dL (2.3-5.6 mmol/L)Ībnormally high triglycerides levels: More than 500 mg/dL (5.7 mmol/L)Ī look at the triglycerides level chart by age reveals that men in the age group of 36-55 years have consistently higher triglycerides than women. Normal triglycerides levels: Under 150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L). Their values can also be measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). Your physician will order a lipid profile test to check whether your cholesterol and triglycerides are within the acceptable range for healthy living.Ī triglycerides level chart is commonly measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). The obvious question that crops up is what are the normal values in a triglycerides level chart? Triglycerides like cholesterol, which are also lipids, actually work for the betterment of the body when within the normal range. ![]() When our consumption of fats and sugar becomes more than the daily calorie requirement, the body converts these excess calories into lipids and stocks them for future use.īut if unused, an abnormally high count of these lipids (fats) can result in heart ailments, pancreatitis, and diseases of the liver.

(Frustratingly, in many ways and in many places across our globe, each one of us being of equal value is still a bold statement even today.) Clarifying this point took a lot out of us, but we reached a just conclusion: that each of us is equal in our value as a being. “Men” means all of mankind, not just the ones who are actual men. Are black men equal, too? What about women? Of course they are. Some of those struggles have found us grappling with (what we thought at the time were) big questions. This radical-for-its-time idea had essentially never before been implemented, and the “grand experiment” that followed has wrought massive struggles and remarkable successes.
