kansasprairie.net » HELP!
I have friends who would appreciate some advice from cooks…good cooks who know their way around the kitchen. Their DCS “professional” range has finished conking out after 15 years. They are trying to get something else while the burners are still functioning, and they’re the only things left that work. What a crappy range it turned out to be. Repairs are non existent because the parts have to be shipped from somewhere in Sweden. Ugh. So, the question becomes, if price isn’t a big deal but quality is, which gas (or duel fuel) range will give them a happy kitchen again ?
What advice do you have?
They were leaning toward Viking until they started reading the ratings.
So…comments are very welcome, as always. Help my friends locate a good range…I may want to spend the winter with them.
Good info. Thanks much!! While all your research is coming in, we’ve been doing some investigative work: turns out we were misinformed by our first range repairman. He said the parts had to come from Scandanavia, and that From my friend with the problem range: DCS was no longer made. Well, we saw DCS ranges at Sears Sunday; guess he never got the memo. We also have found a dandy place to order parts, and they’re right here in the US, and in stock. If my diagnosis is correct, we need a broiler ignitor and/or oven ignitor, a thermostat adjustment, a good cleaning of the “innards,” and O2/gas mixture adjustments. This should run $1200. or thereabouts. The new DCS price runs about the same as Viking. So, we’re going to roll the dice and use a different company’s repair service, and get an estimate for repair costs. If the new guy says DCS is no longer made or he would have to have a private jet to get him to Cannes to pick up parts, we’ll know we’re screwed and we’ll be moving on toward the new Viking. BTW, DCS is now owned by Fisher Paykel, and the tag end of their email address is .nz Makes me wonder if it’s based in New Zealand. More research will tell the tale.

DCS vs. CAPITAL PRECISION RANGES
I have been searching for gas ranges and it seems like the DCS and the Capital Precision line have received numerous recommendations. I am looking at the 36" inch models; all gas, 6 sealed burners, with self-cleaning ovens. Both of these makers offer this. Also, the people at Capital Precision used to work for DCS so I'm sure there are more similarities than differences between these two ranges. My question, however, is what are the differences between these two ranges and are any of the differences significant? Is one of these ranges "better" than the other? If anyone has had experience with both of these ranges, please post your thoughts here.

Starting an immune response: Find your dance partner | Mystery ...
At the peak of an immune response, hundreds of thousands of identical T cells are scampering about, searching out the pathogen and doing their own special T cell things to try to get rid of it. We know that these hundreds of thousands of cells weren’t there at the onset of infection; the whole T cell schtick involves rapid expansion of very, very rare cells. Only a very few T cells are able to recognize any particular antigen; but within a few days, the progeny of those rare cells are now common, and all retain their ability to recognize the same antigen.
In the past few years, we’ve learned a little more, quantitatively, just how dramatic this expansion phase is. Delicate work has established that there are maybe 20 to 1000 potentially-reactive T cells in a mouse, before infection (see my discussion here and here ). Those few cells are the precursors of the huge numbers of T cells a week or so after infection.
If you think about it, it’s pretty remarkable that these few T cells, hidden within millions upon millions of other, irrelevant, T cells, ever get the signal to divide. That signal is carried by specialist antigen-presenting cells, most often dendritic cells. A simplified overview goes something like this: A dendritic cell is hanging out somewhere in the body — let’s say in the skin. It’s constantly filter-feeding, sampling the surrounding environment. Mostly, this surrounding environment is innocuous; there are only normal self antigens in it. If the DC finds evidence of an infection, like, say, viral RNA, then it grinds into action; it migrates to a local lymph node and shows the local T cells everything it (the DC) has been exposed to over the past 24 hours or so. Early in an infection, there usually aren’t a lot of pathogens present, and so there aren’t very many of these activated DC; maybe a few hundred or a thousand.
...anyone using sony dcs h3?
Q: hi guys.. iwanaa take an extra zoom camera....in range of 18000 rupees...
i have sorted out sony dcs h3 and canon sx 100 ..
which one u suggest....have u used them....i want zoom but at any cost image quality should not be compromised.......
cheers
A: first off let me admit that i'm no expert or pro on subject
fella above me > "larger sensor = better quality" is spot on
now i have no clue where he came up with the canon having a larger sensor. both have identical sensor size > 1/2.5 "
help yourself to a comparison and you know better,
http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_ post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=c anon_sx100is%2Csony_dsch3&show=all
have been debating for sometime about the need to replace my ancient digital camera and my last short-list was sony t70 v/s sony h3 ... so i know some bit about the h3 too
ultimately i settled for the t70 cause of sheer compactness
but then my needs were a bit different in that i wanted low light shoots and the iso 3200 feature helped
the biggest downside of the sony is their proprietary memory stick > pro duo ... and heck i cannot even use it on my card reader. the cannon uses sd cards which are pretty cool and cost less than half the sony pro duo's
another big plus for the canon is that it uses aa batteries and should you run out of charge, you can just buy it anyplace till you charge your regular one's
lastly, despite the downsides i still found the h3 could capture incredible and impressive shots
a review, including a video review
http://review.zdnet.com/digital-cameras/ sony-cyber-shot-dsc/4505-6501_16-3257872 5.html?tag=ut
btw: going by your requirements the h7 fits your bill too, with 15x optical zoom, if size is not an issue cause it's much bigger and no way qualifies as a 'compact'
the h3 easily fits into a jacket pocket
and the t70 slips into a shirt pocket
who builds a quality gas range?
Q: I/m looking to spend up to aprox. $4,000 on a 30" all gas range.When I find one I like such as DCS or Viking etc. they all seem to have bad reviews.Any suggestions
A: Have you tried Jenn-Aire. My uncle has 2 of them -- one in huge kitchen and one in his canning room --
how do you check to be sure a business (online) is legit ?
Q: mega-store electronics .com has a range (dcs) that normally sells for $5000 to $6000 on sale for $ 1599 + $39 ups shipping. They want a western union wired money as they cannot yet process credit cards--business located in the UK. Now, why do I think this could be a scam ? the link came from bizrate. Is there anything on the net that allows one to check if a business is legit ?
A: If they are setting up shop in the online world, and the only form of payment they will accept is "Cash" (which is wiring money via Western Union is), then you need to look no further.
