Tech, electronic, gadget Discussion

1. If you are juicing for health, it is useful to remember that fresh juice starts to lose nutrients as soon as it is made. If you want to retain the full benefit of your effort, drink the juice immediately or as soon as possible.

2. Some juice extractors, such as the centrifugal-ejection type, generate enough heat during operation to do some damage to the delicate structure of the juice. The resultant oxidation destroys nutrients.

3. Masticating juicers use a more gentle process, preserving more of the valuable nutrients. This also enables you to store the juice for a longer period.

4. If you have to store the juice for a while, make sure that the container is airtight, add a few drops of lemon juice, and keep it refrigerated.

5. When juicing for health, a clever gadget named PumpNseal can be used to vacuum seal juice in any jar. Removing the air enables you to store the juice for longer periods without nutrient loss.

6. In general, masticating juicers offer extra features, such as accessories you can use to mill, grind, puree, to make pasta, and to come up with the most delectable frozen desserts. When juicing for health, these extras will give you a fairly varied repertoire in the kitchen. A raw food diet will become more feasible in the process.

7. If you are concerned about a high noise level, rather choose one of the masticating models.

8. Remember to remove hard pits from fruit such as peaches. You won’t eat these and neither will your juicer! Don’t ruin the blades! Apple seeds contain small amounts of cyanide. Be sure to remove these before juicing.

9. Most body-building, leafy greens have strong flavors. Cucumber is a terrific disguise for this, and has the added advantage of containing important nutrients. Maximise the benefit by using one that doesn’t need peeling.

10. If you are juicing for health, use organic produce as far as possible. Otherwise wash everything thoroughly.

11. Often the greatest concentration of nutrients lie just beneath the rind or skin.

12. Don’t peel carrots, but do remove their greens. Rhubarb greens also need to be removed. There may be a problem with toxicity if you juice these.

13. Do peel citrus, mango and papaya. These peels are not usable and may even be harmful to you. The skins of oranges and grapefruits contain toxic substances. However, the white, pithy part just below the skin, contains valuable bioflavonoids. Aim to retain as much of this as possible.

14. Soft fruits such as peaches, melons and strawberries will produce a much thicker juice than harder textured fruit such as apples. Combine the two to improve the results.

15. Rather blend banana and papaya. They don’t juice well. If you have one of the masticating juicers with added features, you can try these as a frozen dessert. Juicing for health isn’t suppose to be a punishment, after all! Enjoy something sweet regularly.

16. Follow soft fruits with harder textured produce, to facilitate clearing the pulp.

17. Juicing leafy greens becomes much easier if you roll the leaves into a little ball, before feeding it into the machine.

18. Wheat-grass is exceptionally nutrient-rich, and has a taste strong enough to equal its value! If your juicer can manage it, start with tiny amounts and increase the quantity slowly.

19. It is claimed that the benefits of drinking wheat grass juice includes cleansing the lymph system, building the red blood cells, removing toxic metals from the cells, nourishing the liver and kidneys, and restoring vitality.

20. Wheat-grass needs to be consumed in juice form, as the body cannot process the plant fibres.

21. Wheat-grass is gluten-free, in spite of its name. Gluten is found only in the seed kernel, and not in the stem and grass leaves of the young plant. It should therefore be safe for individuals with a gluten intolerance.

22. Drink freshly made juice daily and concentrate on using as wide a variety of produce as possible, to ensure that your body receives a bit of all the most beneficial micronutrients.

23. Your need for expensive supplements in the form of vitamin and mineral tablets, will diminish significantly, if you are juicing for health on a daily basis.

24. Many ailments will improve if juice forms a regular part of your diet. For example, cabbage juice is one of the most healing juices in case of ulcers. In this case, use under medical supervision.

25. If you experience water retention, juices such as celery, cucumber, cranberry, and watermelon are extremely helpful.

26. A general rule is that a pound of produce will give you about a cup of juice.

27. One cup of carrot juice is equal to about four cups diced, raw carrots. Carrots are much easier to consume in liquid form. Your body is also able to assimilate them better.

28. Vegetable juice is a low-calorie snack and contains no fat. Use it as part of a sensible eating plan, and experience the wonderful results.

29. Fresh juices act as a healthy, harmless appetite suppressant, and craving curber.

30. Vegetable juice can also help to stabilize blood sugar levels. It has much less sugar than fruit juices and about 50% less calories, yet it will satisfy that sweet tooth every time. Try carrot or a combination of carrot and parsley juice when a craving hits you, and the juice jolt will give it a knock-out before you know it!

31. A water fast may leave you feeling drained, while a vegetable juice fast will give you an energy surge. Fasting should always be done under supervision.

32. If you really don’t like the taste of certain vegetables, try juicing these and adding them to some of your favorites. You probably won’t even notice the difference in taste, but your body will certainly notice the difference in nutritional value!

33. Your skin may become slightly yellow if you consume large quantities of carrot juice. This effect is harmless and will disappear once you reduce your consumption.

34. Juicing for health is more beneficial if you consume juice that is at room temperature.

35. Ginger gives a bit of a bite to juice. Try it! It has anti-inflammatory properties. Stomach irritations, nausea and motion sickness can be relieved by taking ginger.

36. The nutrients in the juice you drink, is taken up immediately by all the cells in your body. Your juicer magically transfers the produce into pre-digested food. This means that your body is able to make maximum use of all the enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

37. Juices help you to maintain the proper PH in your body, which is important in preventing diseases like cancer.

38. The phytochemicals in the juice also helps to remove carcinogens from your body.

39. The properties in many vegetables, such as cucumber and carrots, will improve your skin, hair, and nails. If you up your intake of fresh juice, expensive beauty treatments may become a thing of the past.

40. Juicing for health is anti-ageing and puts the spring back in your step.

41. Children love the sweet taste of carrot juice. It is easy to add other, perhaps detested veggies to the juice, without them noticing it.

42. Remember that, it you have kids, they may be more willing to try the juice at first if you turn it into a smoothie. Try apple, carrot and grapes or strawberry. Put ice-cubes in a blender, and pour in your juice mixture. Add some frozen yoghurt or sherbert if you want, and blend to the desired thickness.

43. A good way to add extra flavor and sweetness to juice, is to use fresh or shredded coconut.

44. You can also add some cranberries if you like the taste. Cranberries have an extremely high antioxidant content. In addition, they may help you to avoid urinary tract infections.

45. Scientists recommend 8 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables to be consumed per day. A substantial portion of the population don’t even reach 20% of the ideal. Juicing for health is the easiest way to bring you closer to this goal.

46. Although juicing removes some of the fibre, the process allows you to ingest a much more concentrated, easily assimmilated form of enzymes, minerals and vitamins. Just be sure to boost your fibre intake, by eating fibre-rich foods such as cereals and whole grains.

47. It is believed that sugar cane juice has properties that help to prevent tooth decay. In contrast, eating sugar cane often, will result in frequent visits to the dentist.

48. There is also evidence that there may be some wound healing and immune strengthening properties in sugar cane. In addition, the juice has a soothing effect on the digestive system, especially when combined with fresh ginger.

49. Juicing for health isn’t a cure-all! If your lifestyle is unhealthy in general, don’t expect juicing to magically wipe out the negative effects of all the things you know you probably shouldn’t do!

50. If you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, nursing or have any illness, you need to get medical advice before starting a juicing for health program. The same rule applies to small children. Some juices are quite potent and may do more than good under certain circumstances.

It is a lot of fun to try growing fruit indoors year round. This is a great hobby if you live in an area that receives severe winter weather that would not support the growth of certain warm-weather fruit, such as citrus trees. With indoor gardening, you can provide everything you fruit plants need to thrive and produce fresh fruit year round.

Dwarf fruit trees can successfully be grown indoors. Citrus such as lemon and lime, as well as fruits such as apple, avocado, nectarine, banana, fig, pomegranate and kiwi provide a lovely fruit. A self-pollinating tree is best, because otherwise you will need another tree of the same type to pollinate your desired tree in order for it to fruit. Happily, dwarf fruit trees produce regular-sized fruit, just not as much as on a standard-sized tree.

Lemon and lime dwarf trees in an indoor situation bloom throughout the year. They will produce three to four crops a year. They appreciate the warm temperatures that reign in your home. You will need much light for your citrus to be happy indoors.Grow lights and Grow lamps such as HID lights, which are used along with electronic ballasts or digital ballasts that control the flow of electrical current, produce light that is most similar to sunlight than other types of chrome dome light bulbs, and they are a great choice for indoor citrus.

There are other tropical trees that will bear fruit indoors. A Natal plum has white fragrant flowers that bear bright red fruit. Surinam cherry has white flowers that have fruit that starts green, moves to red and ends up dark purple. The stunning Barbados cherry starts with lavender or pink flowers that form bright-red berries. Dwarf pomegranate will get to three feet tall indoors, and can actually be used for bonsai because they are evergreen. The fruit is a bit smaller than what you might find at a supermarket, but the taste is wonderful.

Because we don’t have birds or bees indoors to pollinate our fruit, we have to help our plants along by transferring pollen from flower to flower by using a small paintbrush or a cotton swab. You will want to water your fruit plants thoroughly, and then let them dry out a little between the times you water. Any good-quality potting soil will work well, and you can apply an organic blooming houseplant food to give them the nutrition they need. Increase the indoor humidity by putting a tray with pebbles and water in the bottom near the plant, or running a humidifier in the room with the plants.

You will be happy for your indoor fruit when you pick a fresh lemon in the middle of winter.

What to do if your computer is slower than it used to be?

There are several things that you can do. In this article I’ll try to present the most common problems, and the solutions for it.

The bases is that your OS is Windows.

For a fresh copy of Window you should follow the next guideline:

Install Window on a clean formatted partition.

Do not repair the old installation (unless you can not recover precious data…) because there would be tons of garbage left over. Instead, delete the old system by formatting its partition. By formatting the partition any bad sector would be discovered and mark as appropriate. This means that data would not be written in the bad sector, and so it would not be lost.
On a clean formatted partition the files would not be fragmented, and would be placed in the right order.
If you install windows XP, immediately after the installation, install the latest service pack.
When everything is ready first thing when connecting to the internet try to download a good anti-virus, and if you do not trust windows firewall download a basic firewall.
Do not use the computer without anti-virus and firewall online for more than 3 to 5 minutes because it can be infected very quickly.

Install only free/open source software, or licensed software. Do not install cracked software because in 95% of the cases it is infected with some kind of malware. And install only the programs that you need, no tons of them…

Keep it clean, and it will run like new for a long time.

If your PC run Windows for some time, and its performace drops you can try the followinds:

Uninstall all unused software (try to use a dedicate program for uninstalling. Personally I use Revo Uninstaller). Delete all unwanted, and garbage data. Write all important media (like pictures, video-clips, documents) that you do not use frequently.
Did you know that if on the main partition (aka Windows partition) the space is low, the performance is definitely affected? I do not have time to explain here why, but you should trust me ..

Use a free software to fix and defrag the Winndows registry. If Windows registry data base is huge, and has lots of unused entries it would has a great impact on your computer speed. Every time the system is turned on, the registry data base is loaded, and every file extension is searched for in it. Almost any action has something to do with registry database.

After you cleaned your system you should try a defragmentation program. Windows has utility that do that, but also there are plenty of free software online.
Personally I bookmarked some links to free software that I use at: http://www.102links.com/en/folderThumb-links_of_firefly.html&folder=speed-me-up&curentCategOut=1673
Defragmentation could speed up considerably your system, especially if you used allot and for a long time the system.

So, if you browse this steps and your computer is still slower than it used to be maybe that is time to reinstall a fresh new copy of the system.

malware

This article do not treat the malware problem, but if all the above steps fail, than it’s very probable that you PC to be infected with some kind if malware.
If you scan your system for viruses with several anti-virus software, and find nothing, the it’s time to consider a radical change (format and reinstall). From time to time this is inevitable if you want your PC to run smooth.

Well, good luck.

Don’t Trash it! Use the 3 R’s When Spring Cleaning this Year.

Call it spring fever, call it the madness of March but it’s that time of year when people get anxious to get rid of the clutter! Whether it’s a few boxes of old clothes or years’ worth of stuff, everyone has something they need to unload. Tossing the stuff in the trash isn’t an option for many items as they may pose a hazard to the environment. Furthermore, people throw away thousands of dollars in usable goods every year because they don’t know where to recycle or resell them. A local business-owner says there are ways to clean out, stay green, get organized and even make some money in the process.

“We are such a disposable society that many people think nothing of throwing away an outdated computer, old china or pottery that’s no longer in style, or books that have been collecting dust in the attic,” said Niki Campbell, owner of Quick2Sell eBay Consignment and Shipping Center. “They don’t realize these items might have a negative impact on the environment or that they have some value to someone else.”

Campbell, whose company sells on eBay for clients, says keep the 3 R’s in mind as you spring clean to ensure you make the most of your stuff:

Reuse It! Could your child’s school or day care use the baseball or soccer equipment that your child has outgrown? Or, would the local senior center benefit from the DVD player you are getting rid of because you are now using a Blue Ray player? Check out local organizations, schools and community groups that may be able to reuse your items. Or, list it on a site like www.freecycle.com.

Recycle It! From sneakers to computers to batteries to light bulbs – you can recycle more than just paper, plastic and glass. Before you trash it, check online to see if it can be recycled. A great site to start with is www.earth911.org. You can type in the item you have (i.e. paint, electronics, etc.) and your zip code to find a recycling center nearest you. Or, call your local municipality to see if they offer resources.

Resell It! Consignment is a great way to recoup some of the investment you’ve made in things like designer clothing, high-end electronics, collectibles and antiques. eBay is the obvious first choice as it offers a global marketplace with millions of buyers. Studies have shown that the average household has $1000-$2000 worth of eBay sellable items in their home. Businesses like Quick2Sell offer a consignment service that sells for clients on eBay. While it may seem easy to post a listing on eBay, Campbell cautions rookie sellers to be prepared to take good pictures, write a compelling ad, be available 24/7 to answer questions, and ship the item quickly after it is sold. Check out their auctions at www.quick2sellpgh.com.

Campbell recommends taking the time now to go through your unused items and put them up into groups that fall into the categories above. Because, once the warm weather hits, we all have excuses to keep us from clearing out the clutter. Once you’ve conquered the clutter, take one day to drop it off at the school, recycling center or consignment shop. You’ll be glad to be clutter-free and you’ll feel good that your stuff is not just sitting at the curb.
