Deep Fried Ice Cream

2010-11-24T16:27:00.000+07:00

Get your ice cream and scoop out about 1 or 2 of your vanilla ice cream and plate it. Flatten each of the scooped ice cream with a spatula or a pie spatula. Afterwards, place the balls of ice cream inside your freezer. Wait for the ice cream to harden again. In a bowl, combine and mix your cinnamon, sugar and cornflakes all together.
Roll it around your ice cream balls until it is fully covered. You want to press the cornflakes in and roll them in your hands. Make sure that it is all covered with cornflakes. Refrigerate the cornflakes ball for about one to two hours, and wait for it to harden again.
Beat the eggs to a scramble like consistency, drop in your ice creams balls, and then to the cornflakes mixture again.

Today I’m going to teach you how to make a banana split. First, we need to cut the banana into halves. You will need a knife to cut the banana but carefully use your knife to cut the banana down the center (always be careful when using a knife). Place the two banana halves on the dish. Now you’re going to place one scoop of vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry ice cream in your dish. Now its time to add our toppings. Put your hot fudge on our chocolate ice cream, your strawberry sauce on your strawberry ice cream, and your butterscotch on your vanilla ice cream.
Now lets get these out of the way and add the whipped cream.In my opinion, you can never have too much of whipped cream. Last but not the least, we will top it off with chopped nuts and cherries. Let’s get these out of the way. Finally, just grab your spoon and then enjoy!

Ice Cream Cake

2010-11-24T16:23:00.000+07:00

In every joyous celebration, ice cream and cake are always present. These two wonderfully tasteful desserts give tremendous happiness and satisfaction with just one bite – the ice cream melts together beautifully with the cake. It’s no wonder that some genius had thought about combining the two ingredients to create a truly decadent and sinful dessert.

The ice cream cake is composed of regular cake and hard or soft serve ice cream. Its overall appearance is just like that of a layer or sheet cake. Numerous stores and ice cream parlors offer their own versions of the wonderful ice cream cake. Dairy Queen, for example, has their own ice cream cake called Blizzard Cakes. The Blizzard cake is a combination of the Blizzard ice cream with layers of chocolate and fudge crunch. A typical Blizzard Cake serves up to ten people and can be customized for any type of occasion or non-occasion for that matter. The famous ice cream company, Baskin and Robbins also offers ice cream cakes consisting of the delicious combinations of their ice cream flavors.
While store bought ice cream cakes are mouth watering, they can be quite expensive as well. If you want to save money and learn how to make an ice cream cake, try doing it at home. It will be so much fun.
To make your own version of an ice cream cake, you will need cake and ice cream. Whether homemade or store bought, it could be any flavour of cake and ice cream. First, you will need to cut the cake in inch thick slabs. For a first timer, it is best to make a circular ice cream cake. Once you get the hang of it, you can experiment using a rectangular or other shaped pan to create your ice cream cake.
On the bottom of your circular cake pan, assemble a bottom layer of cake then make a layer of ice cream with the same thickness. Continue adding layers of cake and ice cream until your cake pan is full. Make sure that the topmost layer is cake so that you can add frosting and other toppings later on. In the meantime, cover the ice cream cake with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for a couple of hours. The key to a perfectly made ice cream cake is the right softness of cake. It should not be too runny or too hard. It doesn’t hurt to work swiftly when making the cake too.
When the cake is frozen, you can take out your delicious ice cream cake and frost it with soft serve or slightly melted ice cream. Adding toppings such as cherries, crushed Oreos or M&Ms will add more flavour and fun to your cake. The cake should be taken out 10 to 15 minutes prior to serving, this way your ice cream cake masterpiece won’t be too melted and runny.
Make and enjoy your very on ice cream cake now. It is definitely the best of both worldly desserts. Your whole family will surely love it.

EATING HEALTHY AND STAYING FIT TO CONTROL AND MANAGE DIABETES

2010-05-19T21:15:00.000+07:00

What is diabetes and are you at risk?
Diabetes is a disease that results in too much sugar (glucose) in the blood. Your body does not have enough insulin available to turn food into energy. High levels of glucose slowly damage your eyes, heart, kidneys, nerves, legs, and feet. Diabetes is a serious disease affecting 20.8 million people in this country, and you may be at risk if you are Hispanic, overweight, or do not exercise regularly. Hispanics are nearly twice as likely as non-Hispanic whites to develop this disease.

Steps to healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle to control and manage diabetes:

• Begin with a healthy eating plan. Healthy eating means eating more grains, fruits, and vegetables, and less meat, sweets, and fats every day. "Let the Food be the Medicine and Medicine be the Food" (Hippocrates).
• Be physically active every day to help prevent weight gain and improve blood sugar control.
• Check the sugar in your blood and take your medication every day if needed.

How to create a healthy meal plan:
To create a healthy meal plan you should do the following:

• Eat a variety of foods as recommended in the Diabetes Food Pyramid to get a balanced intake of the nutrients your body needs - carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
• Make changes gradually because it takes time to accomplish lasting goals.
• Reduce the amount of fat you eat by choosing fewer high-fat foods and cooking with less fat.
• Eat more fiber by eating at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.
• Eat fewer foods that are high in sugar like fruit juices, fruit-flavored drinks, sodas, and tea or coffee sweetened with sugar.
• Use less salt in cooking and at the table. Eat fewer foods that are high in salt, like canned and packaged soups, pickles, and processed meats.
• Eat smaller portions and never skip meals.
• Learn about the right serving sizes for you.
• Learn how to read food labels.
• Limit use of alcohol.

What is the Diabetes Food Pyramid?

The Diabetes Food Pyramid is a general guide of what and how much to eat each day. It is similar to the Food Pyramid you see on many food packages. The pyramid is divided into six groups. You should eat more foods from the largest group at the base of the pyramid and less from the smaller groups at the top of the pyramid. The number of servings needed every day is not the same for everyone, so a range of servings is given to ensure you get the foods you need for good health. The food groups and suggested servings per day are listed below.

• Grains, Beans, and Starchy Vegetables: (good source of B vitamins and fiber) 6 or more servings/day
• Fruits: (contain vitamins C, A, potassium, folate, and fiber) 3-4 servings/day
• Vegetables: (provide vitamins A, C, folate, and fiber) 3-5 servings/day
• Milk: (source of calcium, protein, vitamins A and D) 2-3 servings/day
• Meats and Others: (good source of iron, zinc, B vitamins, and protein) 2-3 servings/day
• Fats, Sweets, and Alcohol: The foods at the tip of the pyramid should be eaten in small amounts. Fats and oils should be limited because they are high in calories. Sweets are high in sugar and should only be eaten once in a while.

What is the right number of servings for you?
The Diabetes Food Pyramid gives a range of servings for each group, but it is only a guide. If you have diabetes, a dietitian can design a specific meal plan for you.

Remember that the number of servings listed is for the entire day. Since food raises blood sugar levels, it is best to space servings throughout the day. For example, 4 servings of fruit might be divided between 3 meals and 1 snack.

Keep in mind
Follow a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy foods, and keep physically active to help control diabetes. If you have diabetes, be an active member of your diabetes care team: you, your doctor, dietitian, and other health care providers. This meal planner gives you only general information. Consult with your diabetes care team.

What is a serving size in the Food Pyramid?
Each of the following represents one serving from each of the food groups in the Diabetes Food Pyramid:

• Grains, Beans, and Starchy Vegetables: 1 slice of bread; 1/2 small bagel, English muffin, or bun; 1/2 cup cooked cereal, pasta, rice; 3/4 cup ready-to-eat cereal; 1/2 cup cooked dried beans, corn, peas

• Vegetable Group: 1 cup raw vegetable; 1/2 cup vegetable juice

• Fruit Group: 1 medium-size fresh fruit; 1/2 cup canned fruit; 1/2 cup fruit juice

• Milk Group: 1 cup (8 ounces) milk or yogurt

• Meat Group: 2-3 ounces cooked lean meat, skinless poultry, or fish; 1 egg; 2 tablespoons peanut butter; 2-3 ounces cheese

• Fats, Sweets, and Alcohol: 1 teaspoon butter, margarine, or mayonnaise; 1 tablespoon cream cheese or salad dressing; 1 tablespoon cream cheese; 1/2 cup ice cream.

Your own Meal Plan:
If you have diabetes, consult a registered dietitian to help you make your own meal plan. Your meal plan will be based on many factors, including your weight goal, height, age, and physical activity.

Health Minded Consumers are Tricked into Eating More Processed Sugar

2010-05-19T21:12:00.000+07:00

Sugar and monosodium glutamate have one thing in common. People are more likely to buy products containing them if they are called something else. Consumers trying to avoid sugar have started reading food labels. Many have begun to think that sugar by another name is not really sugar. Manufacturers know that calling sugar evaporated cane juice for instance, fools people into thinking there is less sugar in the product. Many label readers have caught on to the fact that ingredients have to be listed in order, from the largest amount contained down to the smallest. By using different names for sugar, manufacturers can split the content among the different names, putting the idea of sugar further down on the label without actually reducing the amount of sugar in the product. But aside from a few minor differences, sugar by any other name is still sugar.

Sugary products in "health food" stores are a recent phenomenon

Once upon a time health food stores did not carry products containing sugar. Today what we think of as a "health food store" is often a type of hybrid resulting from the cross breeding of true health food stores with traditional grocery retailers. These new stores are trying to capitalize on having a healthy image, while their shelves are stocked with products containing processed sugar, often listed by one of its other names.

Evaporated cane juice is one of the other names showing up in many products on the shelves of both hybrid and conventional grocers. It is available in a variety of forms that vary in texture and flavor. Because it has not undergone the final processing step that removes the last bit of molasses, it is slightly darker in color than white sugar. However, both evaporated cane juice and white sugar are both sucrose, and both contain 400 calories in 100 grams.

Sugar by any other name is still processed

Both evaporated cane juice and white cane sugar have been heavily processed to remove the molasses content. During this processing the vitamins, minerals, fiber, amino acids, and trace elements that make molasses nutritious have been striped away, leaving one of the purest chemicals ever manufactured. Only tiny amounts of vitamin A and calcium remain in evaporated cane juice. Following processing, evaporated cane juice is 99.5 percent sucrose, and white sugar is 99.9 percent sucrose. Turbinado sugar, considered the least processed of any of the forms of sugar, is 99 percent sucrose.

Whether sugar is eaten in the form of white sugar, evaporated cane juice, turbinado, or any of the other names for it, its effect on the body is the same. When eaten in large amounts, or eaten without fat or protein, each of them will produce the same sort of insulin spike, weight gain, immune system suppression, and increased chance for diabetes.

The terms raw sugar and natural sugar are more words used by the manufacturers of today, but the terms are misnomers. True raw sugar is processed from sugar cane at a sugar mill and then shipped to a refinery for processing. In this stage, it is about 98% sucrose. Truly raw sugar that has not been processed is unfit for consumption and is not sold. The FDA notes that raw sugar is "unfit for direct use as food or as a food ingredient because of the impurities it ordinarily contains." These impurities include plant residues, bacteria, mold, and dirt. They make up the 1 percent difference between true raw sugar and turbinado.

All sugar is processed from the sugar cane or sugar beet plant, and the two types of plants are used interchangeably. High quality brown sugar is made by cutting short the refinement process and leaving a bit of molasses in the sugar for taste and color. Lower quality brown sugar sold in conventional grocery stores is usually made from processed white sugar with the addition of caramel for coloring. Some brown sugar is even made by processing white sugar through animal bone charcoal to add color.

The big difference between evaporated cane juice and granulated sugar is the price, which runs about 8 to 10 dollars a pound for evaporated cane juice compared to about 1 to 3 dollars a pound for white sugar. If manufacturers are willing to spend the extra money to put the words evaporated cane juice on their labels, it means they know the public is seriously trying to avoid eating sugar and needs to be tricked into eating it anyway.

Why eating sugar is so compelling

Our collective sweet tooth goes back to the days when we lived in caves and life was a physical event rather than a mental one, as it is now. We needed to eat foods high in nutrients in order to have energy to get through the physical challenges of the typical day. Sweets eaten back then were primarily berries and other fruits that contained beneficial nutrients, enzymes and many phytochemicals to keep us going strong. Back then, a sweet tooth was not a bad thing.

Today, sugar craving is not often answered by a piece of nutritious fruit, but instead by a processed concoction that tastes sweet but from which most nutrients have been removed. But sugar craving still exists for the purpose of compelling people to seek high energy nutrition. Until that nutrition is obtained, sugar craving continues, leaving today's people in that vicious circle where more nutrient depleted sweets are eaten, and more sugar craving signals are sent. For many people, sugar has almost completely replaced nutrient dense foods, with obesity and health issues as the results.

Buying products made with forms of sugar that sound like they offer significant nutrition and less processing is a way of eating sugar while sugarcoating the conscience. It is an excuse to eat sweets, made even better if the product is organic. But the best sounding form of sugar in an organic product is still just the sucrose that results from processing out all other compounds. It is not a whole food. The real difference between organic and non-organic sugar is the lack of pesticide in the one labeled organic, and a reduction in the possibility of eating sugar that has come from genetically modified plants.

Also in the minds of manufacturers is the realization that in addition to giving the product a more "healthy" connotation, the other names for sugar have appeal to green-minded customers because sugar that does not go through that final processing may require less fossil fuel to produce.

For genuine good health, give your sweet tooth some fruit

The bottom line is that we have been hardwired to have a sweet tooth. Nature has provided the means for satisfying our cravings through an abundance of fruits. Eating fruit breaks the vicious circle of consuming processed sugar and failing to provide the nutrients needed to quiet sugar craving. Fruit provides those necessary nutrients to energize the body and to keep it healthy and well. Fruit is a whole food, and as such has complete integrity. It is backed by nature.

People who engage in heavy consumption of processed sugar can break the habit by substituting fruits and vegetables. Once the body realizes it is getting all of its nutritional needs easily met, it will slowly turn down the volume on the signal to eat sugar. After a period of maximum nutrition with fruits and vegetables, processed sugar will taste abhorrently sweet.

When you make the decision to give up processed sugar in favor of full nutrition and good health, you break free of the manipulations and trickery used by manufacturers to get you to spend your hard earned money on products that are harmful to your health. Breaking away from such a situation is a personally empowering event that can highlight your inner strength and place you in control.

Can vitamin D help fibro symptoms? Read this

2010-03-13T17:08:00.000+07:00

While more research is needed, experts believe supplementing with vitamin D may lessen pain, says Gregory A. Plotnikoff, MD, the medical director at the Penny George Institute for Health and Healing at Abbott Northwestern Hospital, in Minneapolis. “Many Americans are reporting that replenishing their vitamin D results in significantly reduced pain, increased energy, and better sense of well-being,” says Dr. Plotnikoff, who published a 2003 study of the link.

However, W. Michael Hooten, MD, an assistant professor of anesthesiology and the medical director at the Mayo Clinic Pain Rehabilitation Center, in Rochester, Minn., notes that patients in pain may be more inactive and spend less time in the sun than people who are pain free.

“They may stay indoors more, their diet may become altered, which may predispose them to develop a vitamin D deficiency,” he says.

In a study published last year and co-authored by Dr. Hooten, pain patients with a vitamin D deficiency took almost double the amount of pain medication to control their symptoms as pain patients with adequate levels of the vitamin.

In the study of 267 chronic pain patients, 66 had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Over half of the participants had such intense pain that they were using opioid painkillers daily.

“If you’re choking down 150 milligrams of morphine per day, you don’t have energy, you feel lousy, you’re staying at home all the time,” he says. “Clinicians should be suspect of chronic pain patients. What we measured justifies screening for [vitamin D deficiency].”

For now, more research is needed to determine whether exposure to more vitamin D will truly help cut fibromyalgia pain.

It is known that vitamin D can help lessen pain caused by osteomalacia, a softening or weakening of the bones caused by a severe, long-term lack of vitamin D. Researchers aren’t sure how many people suffer from osteomalacia, says Dr. Hooten, but it can be misdiagnosed as fibromyalgia or other conditions.

But even if an adequate intake of vitamin D doesn’t alleviate pain, it may boost mood and could potentially prevent 150,000 cases of cancer annually.

According to a 2009 study, supplementing vitamin D may also protect you from the common cold. In a study of nearly 19,000 people 12 and older, colds and other respiratory tract infections were found more frequently in people with lower levels of vitamin D. People with asthma and low vitamin D are six times more likely to get a cold, and people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema, were at two to three times the risk.

"Simply replenishing vitamin D,” says Dr. Plotnikoff, “can have profoundly positive effects.”

Can the Sunshine Vitamin Ease Fibromyalgia Pain? Check it out...

2010-03-13T16:58:00.000+07:00

Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because when sunlight hits skin, the body produces this vitamin, essential for strong, healthy bones. (That’s the reason your mother told you to slurp down your vitamin D-fortified milk.)

However, a mountain of new evidence suggests that the vitamin may have a more versatile role than previously thought, particularly when it comes to maintaining a healthy immune system and boosting mood.

Low levels have been associated with more severe asthma, colds, seasonal affective disorder, depression, and even chronic pain or fibromyalgia.

So does that mean that taking more vitamin D (or spending a bit more time in the sun) can combat fibromyalgia? Not just yet.

Studies have found that pain patients, including those with fibromyalgia, are more likely to be vitamin D deficient than their pain-free peers. However, it’s not clear which came first; people in pain may get less sun (presumably because they may be more likely to stay inside, due to pain), which could lead to a vitamin D deficiency, rather than vice versa—a vitamin D deficiency leading to pain.

And it’s also not clear if making sure you have adequate levels of the vitamin will help relieve pain or other fibromyalgia symptoms, such as lack of energy or difficulty sleeping.

What’s known about vitamin D
Our bodies make vitamin D naturally when exposed to sunlight. It only takes 10 to 15 minutes a day outside (without sunscreen) to make an adequate amount, but according to studies, about half of adults and 70% of children don’t get enough. In a 2003 study, 93% of pain patients had low levels of vitamin D. The current dietary reference intake for people up to age 50 is 200 international units (IU) per day of vitamin D. Adults ages 51 to 70 need 400 IU/day, and those older than 70 need 600 IU/day, with an upper limit of 2,000 IU/day deemed safe.

Easing the pain of fibromyalgia

But some experts suggest raising that upper limit. Toxicity levels, they say, are closer to 10,000 IU/day, and 2,000 may be closer to the baseline of what healthy bodies need. Current recommendations were established by the Institute of Medicine in 1997 to promote optimal bone health and are under review to possibly be revised in the summer of 2010.

Screening for vitamin D deficiency is as easy as a blood test, and deficiency can be righted with a few minutes of sunscreen-free time in the sun, supplemental pills, or by incorporating foods like eggs, mushrooms, and salmon—all natural carriers of vitamin D—into a healthy diet.

Getting vitamin D from natural sources can stop you from getting too much of the vitamin, since the body makes only what it needs.

Although it’s hard to overdose on vitamin D, it is possible if you take megadoses of the vitamin, which can cause hypercalcemia, an above-average concentration of calcium in the blood that can lead to kidney failure and nervous system problems, and hyperphosphatemia, an increase in levels of phosphates in the blood, which can affect bone density and increase the risk of osteoporosis.

Many who lack vitamin D—especially during the dark and dreary winter months when sunlight isn’t abundant—do turn to supplements. In 2008, Americans spent $235 million on vitamin D supplements, up from $40 million in 2001.

Kitchen Colors Ideas to Your Home

2010-03-12T17:05:00.002+07:00

Are you bored of the dullness of your kitchen? Wondering how to make it lively? If yes, then you would be happy to know that an easy way to make your kitchen bright and lively is by adding colors. We all are aware of the fact that colors bring life to any object, so, why not try it on your dull kitchen as well? Apart from making the kitchen an exciting place to be in, it also revamps the look completely, also at a minimal cost. Creative use of colors can result in a budget-friendly kitchen Decor that can stimulate your hunger and punk-up your surroundings. Right from the mottled, textured neutrals - whites, grays and black to the silver metallic, the options are varied and endless. Materials like Corian, granite, laminates, stainless steel and tiles are another way to spice up your kitchen. To know more about how colors can give your kitchen a complete makeover, browse through the following lines.

Kitchen Colors Ideas

One of the most efficient ways to add color to a kitchen would be to paint the kitchen cabinet. Since cabinets usually occupy the greater part of the kitchen, adding color to them would be a great way spice up the kitchen Decor.
For the kitchen walls, the best bet would be to install new tiles in trendy designs and deep tones all over the kitchen or above the kitchen counters. Apart from looking beautiful and colorful, tiles make cleaning and wiping easy and simple.
A monochromatic color scheme with matching cabinet, countertop and wall colors can be spiced up by creating a focal point in the kitchen in bold contrasting colors and stenciled motifs.
Another area of concern for beautifying a kitchen would be to install bright, multihued curtains available in decorative patterns. However, get curtains that are easily washable.
Do not overlook the fact that colors look different in different lighting systems. If you are planning to go for fluorescent or incandescent lighting, it may affect the hue of your kitchen color in a different fashion entirely.
Since lighting affects the color greatly, the best bet would be to go for recessed and cabinet lighting plan in the kitchen rather than the uniform lighting plan. The former would give a diffused light to the kitchen and also make it look brighter and appealing.
You may add a dramatic touch to your kitchen Decor by using light and shadows to compliment the kitchen colors. A spotlight above your cooking area and dining area may actually make your simple kitchen look like a studio kitchen.
Besides the cabinetry, ceiling, floor and window coverings, moldings and trim, there are other design elements too such as chandeliers and designer lights, knobs and pulls, hanging plates and pot racks.
Using color in accessories, flowers, jars, vases, pendant light shades, bar stools, pictures and so on are great ways to provide focal points and pockets of color.

What makes a successful business person?

2009-12-11T07:33:00.001+07:00

I have a theory on doing business. If my business is good, it's not because of the weather, the time of year or the economy. It's because of me. I'm doing something right. If my business is bad, it's not because of the weather, the time of the year or the economy. It's because of me. I'm doing something wrong. Somebody is always buying something from somebody, so how can I make them buy from me?

First of all, you need confidence in yourself and your merchandise with clear goals and knowledge of the products you are selling. Only then can you inspire dedication from your staff and a willingness to buy from customers.

Successful business people, no matter what their industry, have been found to share similar traits. Today's world is no longer satisfied with simply success--we want to know how the successful get to the top. The Russians developed a concept called "anthropomaximology," in which they try to answer the question of why some individuals outperform others. Through the years I've done some anthropomaximology of my own and found there are certain qualities that describe successful business people. Here are a few:

1 They constantly set higher goals Successful business people are mountain climbers who, having climbed one peak, look beyond to the next highest. They are the retailers who send 1,500 mailers to their customers and yield a good turnout of 100. But instead of being satisfied with 100, they ask how they can increase that number to 150 the next time.

For example, Donald Kelley of Kelley Frame and Art Galleries, with locations in Minnesota and Wisconsin, continually tries to improve his e-mail list. "My goal is to collect 150 new e-mail names every month and send out a new e-mail message to this list every two weeks."

2 They avoid "comfort zones" To a successful person, standing still feels like going backwards. People who stay in their comfort zones do what they did before because it's "the way we've always done it:" They run the same ads, buy the same merchandise in the same way and avoid anything new, different or unusual because they feel they might do something wrong. They blame any lack of business on the weather, the time of the year, the economy--anything except for themselves.

Successful gallery owners attend art shows, read catalogs and visit other galleries in their travels. They are always searching to find unique art exclusive to their galleries. They take control of their own destiny and market their businesses as exciting destinations.

3 They are driven by accomplishments, not money

Successful people follow the theory of Apple Computer's founder Steve Jobs, who said, "The journey is the reward." They are customer focused, not product focused. Their thrill is not the ringing of the register but the crowds responding to their mailing. For them, there is no greater high than a line outside the store before the doors open.

4 They solve problems rather than place blame

A telephone pole blocked the view of Ron Bishop's Canadian gallery. He knew it would be difficult, if not impossible, to have the telephone pole moved. His solution was to paint the pole with an Impressionistic theme. Once it was finished, the local paper came, took a picture and wrote a story about it. "It was great publicity," said Bishop. "And then the calls started coming, asking, 'Is it for sale?'"

Successful gallery owners do not waste their time looking at problems and saying, "It's not our fault" or "Why didn't we ..." They say, "Let's look at what went wrong and realize it was a learning experience and figure out how we can make it work next time."

When a customer hears it will take a week or longer to have their art framed, and says, "Sorry, that's too long," do you shrug your shoulders and say, "Well, that's how long it takes." Or do you think, "Hmmmm, if that's what the customer wants, how can I solve their problem?"

5 They look at the worst possible scenario

"What's the worst possible result if we follow this plan?" they ask themselves. Then, knowing that, they decide if the risk-taking is practical.

However, once they make the decision, they proceed with the confidence, knowledge and expertise necessary to make it work.

They understand the most harmful result and then decide if they can live with the outcome. If they can, they move ahead. Confidently.

Galleries that concentrate on one type of art often decide to reach into an unrelated area. Sometimes a gallery will fail in an attempt to broaden their focus, but successful performers understand even defeat is a learning experience.

"Every time I fail," said Thomas Edison, "I learn something." He tried 1,114 times to find a filament to stay lit in a bulb. He failed 1,113 times.

6 They rehearse the future as they see it

"I believe our future is a one-stop shop for decorating. In addition to limited-edition prints and posters, we now offer collectibles, gift items and small occasional furniture pieces," said Christine Knoll of the Art Gallery of Hog Hollow in Chesterfield, Mo.

Successful people move towards the pictures they create in their mind. They can rehearse coming actions or events as they "see" them. They are like chess players who can "feel" the next move of their opponent and have half a dozen responses ready when their time comes to move.

50 home remedies that work

2009-12-11T07:31:00.000+07:00

1 Bad Breath

No other natural remedy freshens bad breath as well as parsley, says David Orlarsh, N.D., a naturopath in Plymouth, N.H. This herbal food garnish is rich in chlorophyll, a green plant compound that kills the bacteria that cause bad odor. Nibble on a sprig after eating raw onions or garlic or whenever your breath smells sour.

2 Blemishes

To clear zits quickly, keep a small sealed jar of this natural topical remedy on hand (it keeps for a few months): Combine 2 tablespoons of green clay, 1 tablespoon of goldenseal powder (Hydratis canadensis), 2 to 3 drops of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia), and enough water to form a paste. Apply the paste to your blemish at bedtime and leave it on all night. The clay dries up pore-clogging oil, and the goldenseal and tea tree oil kill the bacteria that cause infection.

3 Blisters

Don't pop your blister, no matter how tempting it is. Doing so increases the chance of infection. Instead, dab a cotton ball dipped in plain old drugstore witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) on the area at least four times a day, says Brad Bongiovanni, N.D., a naturopath in Atlanta, Ga. Witch hazel contains astringent tannins that dry up the fluid-filled skin and relieve pain by increasing circulation. It also contains alcohol, which is drying.

4 Body Odor

If your body odor persists despite good hygiene, your problem may be clogged pores. When your skin can't properly eliminate body wastes, bad body odor can result. Gently dry-brushing your skin just before every shower exfoliates the dead skin that traps those odor-causing wastes. You'll find body brushes in most drugstores. If you brush with long, gentle strokes moving toward your heart, you'll also improve circulation, which will help your body detoxify more efficiently. (This won't eliminate your need for deodorant, but you may be able to use less of it.)

5 Bruises

Experts say the popular muscle soreness remedy Arnica is also your best bet for minimizing bruises and healing them fast. As soon as you bump your knee or other body part or notice a swelling or discoloration, gently rub a dollop of this homeopathic cream on it. Arnica shrinks inflammation and increases circulation to flush away the stagnant blood that turns your skin black and blue.

6 Burns

You may know lavender essential oil (Lavandula angustifolia) best for its soothing scent, but you can also use it to take the sting out of a first-degree burn (the kind you might get by touching a hot pan). Not only does this oil speed the healing process and prevent scarring, Bongiovanni says, but it also fights bacteria on vulnerable new skin. Gently clean the burn with soap and water first. Then combine one part pure lavender essential oil and three parts carrier oil, like almond or olive oil, and apply the mixture liberally to the burn at least three times a day, leaving the wound uncovered.

7 Canker Sores

You can once again eat spicy foods in comfort if you douse painful canker sores with raspberry leaf tea (Rubus idaeus). Steep 2 tablespoons of dried raspberry leaves in 1 cup boiling hot water until it cools. Strain the tea, and then swish a few mouthfuls for about one minute each three times a day. The tannins in this tea (which tastes a little like black tea) reduce the swelling and clean the sore so it can heal faster, explains Andrea Candee, a South Salem, N.Y.-based herbalist.

8 Chapped Lips

First, chuck your Chapstick. Conventional lip balms contain petroleum and sometimes alcohol, both of which dry the sensitive skin on your lips. Instead, moisturize and protect your parched, peeling lips with castor oil. Carry a small squeeze bottle of the oil and apply it with your finger often throughout the day. If you plan to be out in the sun, use a natural petroleum- and alcohol-free balm with an SPF of 15 a few minutes after rubbing in the castor oil.

9 Chest Congestion

The sweetness of your breath may suffer, but eating a plate of curried, sauteed onions on rice can really loosen congestion in your chest. Lightly saute two onions, sliced, and at least 1 teaspoon of curry powder in 2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil until the onions are soft. Onions contain quercetin and sulfur, two plant compounds that break up mucus and increase circulation, explains Orlarsch. Curry also loosens phlegm. And for that breath? See remedy 1, page 48.

10 Constipation

If you don't like prunes, you have another option for constipation relief. Dried figs work just as well as prunes. They contain soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which flush out your intestines. In fact, five figs supply at least 20 percent of your daily fiber requirement, more than almost any other fruit. Nibble on four or five at the first sign of constipation and drink at least one glass of water. If you don't get results within three hours, eat a couple more every three hours until you do.

11 Corns

Soften this thick, callused skin with a little castor oil, recommends Bongiovanni. Apply a drop of oil to the corn with your finger first thing in the morning, as soon as you get home from work, and right before bed. Cover the corn with a Band-Aid before putting on socks and shoes. You should see slow and steady improvement over several weeks.

3G: naughty or nice?

2009-12-11T07:30:00.000+07:00

There is an axiom in technology circles that porn drives technology usage. Pick a category--VHS, video rentals, premium cable, pay-per-view, CD-ROMs, PC games, the Web, chat rooms, broadband, online shopping, etc. Porn has been given credit for the rapid growth of just about all of them. Even VOD owes what little success it's had to naughty content.

Porn's track record as a tech driver has come up again as more new technologies start cropping up. HDTV is one example, although as Wired columnist Brendan I. Koerner once pointed out, porn is a genre where high-def may work against it.

The other big example is next-gen cellular, now that color-screen handsets are mainstream and 3G services are popping up around the world. Many 2.5G operators already offer adult comtent in some form or another, and 3G operators are following suit. Hutchison, for example, has an arrangement with Playboy, which now licenses content to cellcos in well over a dozen countries.

For all the buzz over wireless porn, however, skepticism abounds, and with good reason. Several of them, actually.

The first, of course, is the morality issue. Even in markets where porn is more socially acceptable, like the US, it's still a bugaboo for many cellcos that don't want the bad publicity that anti-porn groups will give them for carrying it. In Australia, Optus is currently in hot water over the revelation of its involvement in a deal several years ago to host porn content and generate international porn traffic for porn company Gilman via Vanuatu--not exactly the publicity it was hoping for with plans to launch mobile adult content services this year.

There's also the device itself. Proponents claim the handset or PDA is a good medium because it's more personal than a desktop--you can view it anywhere, and more discreetly. Critics of mobile porn point to the small screen and say, "No way." Storage demands can also be a problem, though devices like the new photocapable iPod could up the ante considerably--or create expectations 3G can't deliver.

Interestingly, the introduction of handsets with cameras and camcorder features creates some DIY porn opportunities, from sending naughty MMS postcards of yourself to your spouse/lover to sending them to strangers for money. And imagine what you could do with 3G video calls.

The upside is more traffic for the cellco. The downside includes potential illegal activity (like taking pictures in gymnasium locker rooms) or highly unethical incidents like the one reported in India last November, in which a Delhi Public School student took cam-phone video footage of himself and his girlfriend having sex and then, after they broke up, sold MMS clips to his friends for too rupees a clip.

From driver to niche

As for the business case, Yankee Group research analyst Adam Zawel noted in an October report that PhoneErotica.com, a UK-based Web site for mobile users that provides adult pics, video clips and text, generates over 300 million hits per month, and rings up more minutes of use per month than MSN. Zawel also estimates the annual market for wireless adult content could reach $1 billion globally by 2008.

While $1 billion is a nice number, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what mobile operators earn from non-voice services today--and non-voice revenue is still well under a third of their ARPU.

Even so, there is a sort of inevitability to 3G porn, regulatory environments permitting. For one thing, the novelty factor alone will result in some downloads initially. Also, bear in mind that "adult content" is a broad category. It's not all XXX hardcore or even Playboy-level softcore--Page 3-style pics from such magazines as FHM and Maxim also count as "adult content". So do Java game downloads (i.e. strip poker on your PDA) and directory services (i.e. where the good gentlemen's clubs are in town).

The other key thing to remember about mobile porn-apart from the critical importance of access control--is that while porn may be a driver of tech adoption, technology has never become dependent on it. Of all the technologies that owe their start to porn, none of them rely on porn to stay in business today. Case in point: porn titles today account for a fraction of the total home video market. The same goes for CD-ROMs, games, pay-per-view, and whatever VOD services are still out there. Porn may be at the vanguard of new technology, but it's almost always relegated to niche status once the technology in question goes mainstream. 3G will be no different.

Detox in 7 days

2009-12-11T07:28:00.000+07:00

When you simplify your diet for a week, something amazing happens. If you eat only wholesome foods and give your body a break from refined flour, sugar, and caffeine, your body sheds up to 10 pounds of excess water weight and your energy soars. You improve your digestion, stop feeling bloated and congested, and decrease your risk of disease. Detoxing, as this process is known, can also improve your eating habits. These new habits help you keep the bloat off and lose more weight.

Detox diets are a time-honored practice of limiting yourself to certain foods for a short period of time. Some detox diets are so strict that you only drink juices, but ours involves a more varied diet of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains. This practice is healthy and safe for most people, say holistically minded doctors like Elson M. Haas, M.D., director of the Preventive Medical Center of Marin in San Rafael, Calif., and author of The Detox Diet (Celestial Arts, 1996) and The False Fat Diet (Ballantine, 2000). Haas says he's helped more than 10,000 people detox in his 30-year medical practice, and he personally detoxes three times a year.

We asked Haas to create the following seven-day detox plan. It gives you step-by-step instructions on what to do and tells you how to continue to lose weight after the detox is over. Don't follow this plan if you have a chronic disease like cancer or heart disease or are pregnant or nursing. The plan is also not recommended for children or teens.

What to Eat

FOLLOW THIS MEAL PLAN DAILY DURING your detox week. Sit down for each meal and eat slowly, chewing every bite thoroughly. Chewing this way helps you feel full on fewer calories, and taking the time to sit down will keep you from feeling deprived.

WAKE-UP DRINK: As soon as you rise, drink two 8-ounce glasses of filtered or spring water. Squeeze half a lemon into one of those glasses; the lemon stimulates your digestive juices. Your goal is to drink at least six glasses of water by the end of the day. If you have trouble remembering how much you drank, keep track in your journal.

BREAKFAST: Between 7 and 8 a.m., eat one piece of fresh fruit like an apple, pear, or banana. Fifteen to 30 minutes later, eat 1 to 2 cups of cooked whole grains like amaranth, buckwheat, brown rice, millet, or quinoa. (This delay aids your digestion.) Avoid barley, corn, oats, rye, and wheat; many people experience congestion, poor digestion, and other symptoms when they eat these grains. To prepare most of the grains, you'll add them to boiling water, reduce the heat to a slow simmer, and cook them covered for 30 minutes or more until they're tender. (For exact instructions, consult the packaging.) You may want to prepare several servings ahead of time and reheat them in the morning.

To flavor your grains, add 2 tablespoons of 100 percent fruit juice or I teaspoon of an oil and butter mix per serving. To make this mix, combine 1/4 cup of extra-virgin olive oil or cold-pressed canola oil and 1/2 cup (1 stick) of room-temperature butter. Store it in the refrigerator. Use a maximum of 3 teaspoons a day. The fats in this mix keep your tissues healthy as you detox, and butyric acid, a compound in butter, helps heal and protect cells in your stomach and intestines.

With your grains, take a multivitamin and additional supplements to get 200 to 400 IU of natural vitamin E (d-alpha tocopherol) and 100 to 200 mcg of selenium. These antioxidants fight the free radicals your body produces as you detox. Taking supplements with food prevents the nausea you may suffer if you consume them on an empty stomach. If you usually take other supplements, continue to take them unless they contain caffeine.

MIDMORNING SNACK: Around 11 a.m., sip 1 to 2 cups of the vegetable water left over from steaming your lunch and dinner. (For more on the steaming process, see "Lunch," next page.) You should reheat this water and can season it with a dash of salt. The broth provides valuable nutrients that separate from the vegetables during steaming, eases hunger pangs, and keeps you hydrated (it counts toward your daily fluid consumption). Next, take 500 to 1,000 mg of vitamin C powder buffered with calcium and magnesium. You'll find this powder at natural food stores; choose a brand that's free of sugar and artificial sweeteners. Mix it with 6 ounces of water and drink. Vitamin C, an antioxidant, neutralizes free radicals produced as you detox, and calcium and magnesium help ease any agitation you may feel as you withdraw from addictive substances like caffeine or sugar.

LUNCH: Between noon and 1 p.m., eat steamed vegetables. You can make them the night before or in the morning and reheat them at lunch. Save the water from the steaming process in a covered container and refrigerate it.

To make your lunch, steam up to 4 cups of raw vegetables in at least 2 cups of water until they're tender but still crisp. Prepare at least four vegetables for each meal, aiming for a variety of flavors, textures, and colors. For example, try a starchy vegetable like a potato, a bitter green like kale, a sweet vegetable like red bell pepper, and a pungent vegetable like scallions.

We'll be waiting for you to voice your opinions regarding these boy-isms at www.girlslife.com , so feel free to take notes.

1 Calling you on the phone does not mean what you think it means.

"Please, tell me why a girl thinks calling her equals I want her to be my girlfriend," says Mikey. Blunt, but we like blunt. Mikey is in the majority when it comes to romancing the phone. Nearly every guy we talked to says he feels tons of pressure from girls when it comes to the telephone. "It's like calling a girl means I'm admitting I like her, but that's not what's up," explains Mikey. "It's more like I'm calling because I might like her. I hate calling because the next day the girl acts like she owns me. Or, if she's shy, suddenly she can barely talk to me because she's scared. It's stupid."

Knowledge is power You know you're hung up on the phone if, when a guy calls, you think you have some kind of romantic upper hand. "I'm just calling because you're cute or nice or whatever," says Jordan. "If you treat me like I'm a dog just because I think you're cool enough to dial up, then you're a b-word." In other words, for a guy, it's just a phone call, not a confession of undying love. Hel-lo?

2 You are much prettier without all that makeup.

Judging from our survey, boys can't stand makeup. In fact, it seems they can't complain about it enough. Sure, they all like pretty girls, but they also have a problem with a face that looks full-on painted. And what looks painted to a guy is far less than what you might think.

"Why do girls think they need to have so much crap on their faces?" asks Billy. "Girls at my school wear all this black crap on their eyes, and their lips are, like, thick with brown goop. It's ugly. Do they really think that will get them a guy?"

Don't think we didn't set Billy straight about one thing: Not all girls apply makeup to "get them a guy." Still, it's true that lots of girls get all dolled up so they'll be attractive to the opposite sex. But the makeup thing... It's more fun than anything. Right, girls?

Knowledge is power The hated for cosmetics is no joke. One dude even tided his survey "Rodeo Clowns." Could natural-looking makeup be the best date makeup? If being hot to guys is your goal, remember that. Otherwise, it's your choice if you want to apply enough purple mascara to impair your vision. Go for it.

3 When you act spazzy and giggly, ifs seriously embarrassing.

"What is up with girls hopping up and down when they're happy about something?" asks Pete. "A girl definitely invented the word 'yay!' because no guy I know has ever used it." Are you guilty of doing the Gily Woo-hoo! dance? It's a combo of baby claps and bobbing on your toes while emitting high-pitched squeals of delight. This all in reaction to, say, seeing the slide projector set up upon entering French class.

What's the big deal? "I really do want to know why are girls so excited about normal stuff," says Pete. "Every other thing, it's like, 'Ohmigosh! No way!"'

Knowledge is power Colin, a self-described shy boy, has something interesting to say: "I think girls like attention, and being excited about something makes people look and wonder what she's so happy about." Good theory.

Arnie, a jokester, has a theory of his own: "I think girls are just different. You're raised to let your feelings out, even if they're bad. I've never seen a guy friend cry, but I've seen a chick fall apart because some dude she liked didn't pick her for his volleyball team in phys ed. That's dumb."

We're not here to tell you how to act. Just tuck it in the back of your mind that all the boys we surveyed agree that girls could mellow out a little. Let's have a round of baby-claps for that, please.

4 Gossiping, whispering and writing notes makes y on look beyond shallow.

"Girls are always passing notes around in class, and it's just so friggin' dumb," says Joey. "Or they'll look right at me, then whisper to each other and laugh. Do they want me to think they're talking about me? 'Cause I do. And if it's really true and they are talking about me, then that's just lame."

Rude is the word, actually, Joey. Whispering, especially with the cupped hand at your girl's ear, is just so third grade. And gossip? "When I hear one girl talk trash about another girl, it's like I can't believe it," says Dominick, "like I'm in a bad movie about how mean girls are. If I heard my friends were talking about me like that, I'd transfer schools."

History of Italian Cuisine

2009-11-25T19:03:00.002+07:00

Most people will recognize pasta and pizza - two of the most popular dishes that form part of the Italian cuisine

. However, Italian cuisine has a lot more to offer than just these two well known dishes. Most importantly, Italian cuisine also has a rich and tempting history - just like the different dishes that form part of its offerings.

All over the land of Italy, all the Italians always maintain a distinctive cooking habit or style that shines in their eating habits, their styles of preparing a meal and the way they select local ingredients. Right from the pre-Roman era till date the Italian food history has gone through a considerable change.

In the ancient times, the preparation of food was very important. One of the ancient and surviving cookbooks is known as the Apicus. The Apicus dates right back to 1st century BC.

It was after the downfall of the Romans that the spread of the Italian cuisine began. Individual states started to uphold their separate traditions and identities. Every region started its own special and unique method of cooking, from the very basic preparation of the meatballs to characteristic varieties of cheeses and also the wine produced in any locale.

For example Northern states developed the Tuscan beef, on the other hand black truffles was prepared in Marches, and the very famous Mozzarella and Provolone cheeses developed in South, simultaneously being the host of a lot of citrus fruits.

There were varieties in bread, pasta, and other different food preparation methodologies according to the region. The eating habits were also a total contrast as the people in Southern Italy loved hard-boiled spaghetti, but those from the North preferred the soft-egg noodles.

Different cities started to become famous for their specialties like Milan for Risotto, Bologna for Tortellini, while Naples for Pizzas.

In these past few years the Italian cuisine evolved greatly due to the wealth from outside influences which added a flavor and an appeal. The ancient Greeks with their wealthy imports from various places added an exotic ingredients and spices to the Italian cuisine.

The Coastal regions of Italy are popular for delicious seafood and fish. For example, while Sardinia has a traditional style of cooking that includes foods such as Swordfish, anchovies, lobster, sardines, etc, Sicily has heavy North-African influences.

Even today the varieties in Italian cooking show distinctions between the northern and the southern style of cooking. Each and every region carries their traditions reflecting deeply in history. This wonderful culture with never-ending preparations of appetizers, main-courses, and desserts that will always continue to tempt our taste buds.

Home Made Pasta

2009-11-25T19:02:00.002+07:00

Home made pasta is a delight to the palate.

If you have never had the opportunity to ever taste home made pasta then this recipe will literally blow you away! Many people never even consider tackling home made pasta because they have a mistaken idea that it is difficult to make. Nothing could be further from the truth, in fact it is easy, it does however require some time - in no way can it be considered fast food.

So without wasting any of your time, let's take a step by step look at how to make this particular home made pasta. I call it "Mediterranean Pasta" as it is packed full of Mediterranean aromas, such as fresh basil, oregano and thyme. There is no doubt that this special dish comes from my Italian blood and distant memories of my mother hand making her pasta so many years ago. Bless her!

Ingredients:

Half a cup of fresh basil
Quarter cup of fresh thyme
Quarter cup of fresh oregano
1 pound of flour
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Approximately quarter cup of fresh water
Pinch of salt
2 eggs (optional)

First of all for this green home made Mediterranean pasta you are going to have to remove the leaves from your aromas (basil, oregano and thyme). Please try to find fresh as it really will make an explosive difference. Discard any leaves that are turning brown.
Place the leaves together with the olive oil and the water in the blender and blend until you have a liquid sauce. Make sure the leaves have been completely blended with the liquids and no large pieces remain, even if this won't cause any harm whatsoever.
Sift the flour on to a working top. It is much easier to work on a large working top than in a bowl. You will be using your hands here, no mixing machines please.
Make a well in the sifted flour and pour in the green sauce that you made with the blender and the optional eggs. The eggs will make the pasta more pliable and easier to work as well as to supply protein. However, if you don't use eggs in your diet, cut them out from the recipe.
mix the eggs and sauce together with a fork then start mixing with the inner part of the flour. Once you have a less sticky mixture discard the fork and use your hands and mix all the flour with the sauce and work well until you have a dough.
Knead the dough for approximately 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and cover and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

After the home made pasta dough has rested for 30 minutes it is ready to be worked. For this you will need a pasta machine or a simple rolling pin.

Cut the ball of dough into 4-6 equal pieces and keep one aside - cover the others with the cloth again. Sift a little flour on the work top and using your hands flatten the piece of pasta dough into a rectangle about 4 inches by 10 inches. Select the widest opening in the pasta machine, place one of the narrow ends in the machine and turn the handle until the entire rectangle has passed through the machine.

Repeat this two more times, then select the next smallest opening on the machine and pass the dough another two-three times. On my machine I do this a total of four times until my pasta is just over a millimeter thick. If you are using a rolling pin, make sure you have enough flour on the pasta so as that the rolling pin doesn't stick. Roll out the rectangle and then fold it over double and roll again. Carry out this operation three times and keep rolling until the pasta is totally even and about 1 to 1 and 1/2 millimeters thick.

With a kitchen disc cutter or a knife cut the pasta into strips about half an inch wide and 4-6 inches long, or longer if you prefer. Then repeat the above with another piece of the pasta that is resting in the cloth. If you have the possibility to hang the pasta to dry somewhere under the sun do so. Otherwise, leave to dry on a wooden surface making sure that no piece of home made pasta is on top of another. Inside an hour should be sufficient, especially if you dusted with flour during the pressing phase. Outside in the sun, 30 minutes should be enough.

How to cook your green Mediterranean home made pasta

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add salt (preferably large grain sea salt). Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for no more than 5 minutes stirring occasionally. When cooked add directly to another pan containing the pasta sauce of your choice. The pasta should be enough for four servings.

For my personal taste there is nothing better to serve this home made pasta with than a fresh tomato, basil and pine-nut sauce. Fast and simple to prepare and guaranteed to get you heaps of compliments, click over to our site now for the recipe with simple photos to follow.

Select a menu that is both your prospects and the outlooks of the people at your event is elementary justice to the feeling, dash your event, and some calves success. However, the choice of cuisine is to be decided not only to die what kind of food you eat.

In all my years of experience, the best option is to put together a buffet. With a buffet to your guests a variety of flavors can be enjoyed and a variety of savings might be done. Buffets can be done like a dinner. One way to spice a buffet is to have plants those different foods from around the world. They may have a Mexican, Italian, Brazilian, Persian, French and American broadcasters. The possibilities are endless. For it is in the presentation. Also, remember buffets the quantity is not always synonymous with quality. Sit down with your caterer and make sure to try everything before them in your menu.

Not the setting of a catering company in the last hour. Plan early in advance and hire. It is a sad truth that some restaurants tend to increase their prices if they know you have to create their emergency services. Therefore, you should always plan ahead and hire a caterer for at least 1 week before the event. In this case, when a catering offers you receive a ridiculous price, you still have time to source another caterer.

Once you have a catering company called, make sure the caterer you are short on every detail of your event. This is a misunderstanding, the last-minute event will avoid going crazy. Before the event, you must confirm the number of people who come to your event. Please note that all persons who are registered for your event, ending on the same day. It is advisable to carry 80% of total attendance, the number of confirmed guests, so you will not be too much for the food they need.

Laptops on Sale

2009-11-08T22:02:00.003+07:00

When searching for quality affordable laptop which provides the best value for every single cent, some people follow the wrong guidelines by choosing all the cheap ones and ignore everything else. This can lead to the result of maintenance cost in very new future resulting overall higher cost than high quality ones. To prevent this mistake, you should follow this simple guideline to get a good laptop at sales price.

So, How to choose the right laptop?

1. Brand: Try to choose known name. Well-known brand names are simply better since they have more service centers, spare parts, and user forums. Here is a good list of well-known global brands: Hewlett-Packard, Lenovo, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, Apple, Acer, and Asus.

2. Hardware: You will need 4 important factors which are CPU, Memory, Hard Drive size, and the Body.

CPU is the easiest factor since any CPU nowadays is fast enough to compute normal office software and internet application. However, if you are going to use your laptop to complex tasks such as editing DVD clips, you'll need faster CPU, otherwise, the difference cannot be seen with bare eyes.
Memory is the most important factor. Every IT guru said that 1GB (Giga Bytes or 1,000 Mega Bytes) is enough, but it is exactly at the level especially if you run Windows Vista. 1GB is fine but it is better to get 2GB.
Hard Drive Size should be determined by the usage of your laptop. If you need to save many DVD ISO files or large video clips, you will need larger one. If you are going to store mostly word documents and some pictures, then a standard sized should be more than enough. If you feel that at some point in the future you might need the extra space, then get a larger hard drive at the first time instead of paying more to upgrade it.
The Body of your laptop is easy to choose since you are the one that going to use it the most often. My recommendation is choose the one you think the body is solid, keyboard is easy to use, and the style matches yours. Don't forget to notice the fans out flow direction. If you are right-handed don't choose the one that blows heat at the right side directly to your hand.

3. Price: There is no exact recommendation since price changes every single day and what I recommend today will not be a good one tomorrow. A good method is to see other's chosen list. I have visited this website, OutletEye.com, which provides such updated information on daily basis. You can easily see the chosen laptops at sales price there. Click to see Laptops On Sale at OutletEye.com. To get a good laptop at sales price is not about luck alone, but you need to see through the deals.

Windows 7 or Ubuntu 9.10

2009-11-08T22:01:00.001+07:00

Since its launch five years back, Ubuntu has turned into one of the most popular Linux operating system. After the launch of Windows 7, a major update of Vista, Ubuntu 9.10 or "Karmic Koala" has launched on October 29th. At present, Linux operating system has about 1% market share for desktops as compared to 92% of Windows, whereas it is popular for servers or embedded systems. Ubuntu, based on the Linux’s Debian flavor has focused to bring Linux OS to the common people.

Here, the article compares some of the features of Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10:

Installation and upgrades

Users can easily upgrade their PCs with the new version of Ubuntu and it can also installed on your vintage PCs. Further, like Windows 7 and Mac OS X, Ubuntu 9.10 automatically keeps users’ operating system up-to-date. While, Windows 7 will update only the Microsoft software and the OS, Ubuntu updates itself with any other software installed on users’ system.

Multimedia

Due to their own terms and conditions, Ubuntu does not ship with the ability to play commercial DVDs. However, you can download the commercial DVD support via Ubuntu Restricted Extras in the Software Centre. It has Rhythmbox player for music and the Movie Player for video.

Microsoft’s Windows 7 come preinstalled with Windows Media Player and Media Centre, which take care of your personal files. Further, if your hardware permits, you can also watch live TV on the PC.

Software and applications

According to developers, Ubuntu is like Apple’s iPhone and supports vast softwares and applications. Users can have instant access to thousands of free and open-source applications. It comes with free OpenOffice.org 3.1 installed by default as its office productivity suite through which you can create professional documents, spreadsheets and presentations. The suite is compatible with all office apps including MS Office.

Windows 7 users have to buy Microsoft Office, or they can download OpenOffice and GIMP. While Windows users will have Outlook for their email, Ubuntu comes with Evolution, its emailing and calendaring software.

Windows 7 comes with Internet Explorer 8 and MSN Windows Live messenger, Ubuntu 9.10 ships with Firefox 3.5 and Empathy multiple protocol IM client.

Cloud Service

The new Linux version offers cloud storage to the masses with its Ubuntu One service, where users can store upto 2GB of data for free, but will have to pay for more storage. Ubuntu 9.10 can also take advantage of Amazon's EC2 cloud computing service.

Microsoft also provides a cloud storage application called Live Mesh that offers 25GB of storage for free, but the service is not integrated with the OS as in Ubuntu.

Speed and hardware

In terms of speed, the latest OS of Microsoft is definitely lighter on hardware than its predecessor, Vista and it will run well on older hardware. However, Ubuntu 9.10 also works well on a wide range of hardware.

Security

According to various analysts, Linux OSs are more secure than Windows and are not easily infected by bugs and viruses. In Windows 7, Windows Security Center has been renamed to Windows Action Center, which covers both security and
maintenance of the computer.

How to Register a Domain Name and Upload a Website

2009-11-08T22:00:00.000+07:00

Many companies offer domain name registration, and if you're a newbie web builder it can become a bit confusing. There are many domain name registrants out there, and you want to make sure that you choose a reputable company. Most of the time, you're going to be okay choosing almost any domain registration company that's well known, such as GoDaddy or Enom.

How much does it cost?

Usually prices run $6-$10 per domain name. Any more than that, and I wouldn't shell out extra bucks for a domain name when you can get it for cheaper. Sometimes you can catch nice specials at GoDaddy for domain packages and end up only spending about $2 bucks per domain name.

What's next?

After you've purchased your domain name you'll need to make sure you go purchase your hosting so you can have a place for your site files to reside. Only then can you use your domain name to show up on your website.

If you are with a company like GoDaddy, you can actually purchase both your domain name and hosting with them. This may make the transition seamless for you and the customer service with GoDaddy is great so they will take you through the steps you need to sync up your domain name with your hosting account.

However, if you choose, for whatever reason, to purchase your domain name elsewhere, then you will need to make sure that your domain name is "pointing to" your hosting server. It's called a "nameserver".

For example, I have an account with Enom.com where I purchase nearly all of my domain names. But having this domain name alone is no good if it's not pointing to the nameserver of my hosting at GoDaddy so that my websites can show up.

Here are the steps I would need to take to ensure that my website shows up with my domain name on the web.

1. First I will need to attain the DNS server settings from my hosting provider. I should ask my hosting provider (in this case, GoDaddy) to tell me what the DNS server settings should be for my domain name. They usually look something like this:

ns21.domaincentral.com
ns22.domaincentral.com

2. Next, I should change the two settings to what my hosting provider gives me. I would just log into my domain account and take a look at the DNS server settings to ensure that these match what my hosting company gave me. I have video tutorials available at my website which show you how to do this in depth.

3. Then, I go ahead and upload my files to the web. I typically use an FTP program for this. One free program is FreeFTP, which can be downloaded from download.com.

I would just need to make sure my index file is uploaded (this way my home page will show up on the web)...and wait for up to 72 hours for the nameserver to point in the direction of my hosting. Typically this takes about 2 hours or less, but domain companies like to tell you to wait the full 72 hours, just in case. My video tutorials show you how to do this.

(*The INDEX file is the homepage of your website, which under most circumstances should always be named "index". This ensures that your website home page will show up on the site!)

Once this is completed, you should see your website appear at your new domain name within a few hours! You're done.

Now, it's time to enjoy your website and its benefits!

How to make Chocolate

2009-10-03T10:17:00.001+07:00

Many think that making chocolate is a time consuming and difficult process. With careful research we have prepared the easiest recipe to make the daunting task easy for you. You need to begin with getting cocoa pods from which we can get cocoa beans. These pods have to be crushed and the pulp surrounding it needs to be extracted. This pulp has to be then fermented in a natural way for about six days. The fermentation can be done in boxes or in open heaps after the beans have been dried.

The fermentation can be done by artificial means but the quality is affected. The artificial methods are mainly used while making chocolates in bulk. The beans are then graded and roasted thereafter.

The time that the beans should be roasted for depends on the type and the size of the beans. The roasting affects the flavour of the chocolate that will be made. After crushing the beans lightly, the kernel or the nib is separated from the shell. The husk is then is discarded after being separated.

Many manufacturers at this stage add the nib through an alkaline process to enhance the flavour and the colour of the chocolate which is not done by purists. These purists like to make the finest chocolates without this alkalisation and leave the colour and the flavour on the quality of the beans and its natural processing.

The fat content in these nibs or as it called cocoa butter is very high. The nibs are milled finely and liquefied in the heat of the milling process to make cocoa liquor. After this the cocoa liquor is allowed to cool and solidify.

Some of the cocoa butter is reserved if the end product is chocolate.

The other part of the liquor is then pressed to make cocoa butter. The retained liquor is then blended with chocolate butter and other required ingredients to make the final product we all wanted… Chocolate. So it is not that difficult to make chocolates- a sin we all love to commit.

What’s it take in becoming a chef?
Professional chefs are clean, organized and work in teams. Chefs must be capable in handling stressful situation, and the stamina to support each situation. Being adaptable and thinking quickly on your feet—like deciding what to do when your signature dish doesn’t turn up on time
So, ‘if you can’t stand the heat, then get out of the kitchen’. But if you can, the rush you’ll feel from cooking meals, and having people enjoy may just what you’ve been looking for.

Having the passion
Having the passion for cooking recipes is not enough. It’s imperative to express your enthusiasm through your cooking techniques as well.
You can chat up about food as enthusiastically as you want; talking about your cooking techniques and what becoming a professional chef means to you and what your special unique cooking ideas would be if you had your VERY OWN cooking show. Just make sure you can back up everything thing you say through your every dish you cook!

Getting started by Cooking Meals
Work experience in the kitchen as an assistant or just for occasional evenings and weekends helps. It helps to see chefs at work and get a feel for the environment other professional chefs’ work in. This will also bring to your attention and may be the deciding factor of becoming a chef is really for you.
There is no specific ‘cooking recipe’ for trainee chefs; it’s not a simple math equation where you’re guaranteed an answer every time. Before handling food it’s important to get your Basic Food Hygiene Certificate first. And if you really want to reach the next cooking level like star Rachel Ray or Paula Dean, you should try working in top restaurants as soon as possible. The competition is rough but if you have motivation and commitment, you can reach that goal!

Basic Cooking Ingredients
If you're planning a career as a professional chef, it's good to know the basic structure of a kitchen. Most professional chef kitchens are very hierarchical; structure may change, of course, but only according to how many people a particular restaurant serves and how large (or small) the kitchen staff is. Below are some common kitchen terms that you should be familiar with.

• Aides: often trainees. This is usually the first port of call for those new to working in professional kitchens
• Commis Chef: the first rung of the ladder for newly trained chefs. The commis will usually work under a chef de partie, learning basics such as vegetable preparation.
• Chef de Partie: responsible for running sections of the kitchen. The chef de partie will make sure the food goes out during service and will also cook. All the commis chefs will be expected to help the chef de partie during service.
• Sous Chefs: essentially the head chef's right-hand man. The sous chef will fulfill any role the head chef asks him or her to do in their absence.
• Head Chef/Chef de cuisine: the boss. Will plan menus, hire and fire staff and deal with suppliers and manage costs and budgets. Depending on their profile and other commitments, the head chef will often leave much of the day-to-day work to the sous.
• Executive Chef: larger establishments such as hotels will have an executive chef. This person may have much the same responsibilities as the head chef of a restaurant but on a larger scale. They may be responsible for planning the menu and setting the agenda for the style of the cuisine served, for example.

Chef Training and Qualifications
If you are 16 years of age, or older, you are able to apply for a ‘Modern Apprenticeship’. Here you will be able to get practical chef training along with experience learning from other professional chefs. Once you get a Level 3 National Vocational Qualification (NVQ), after about 3 years of work.
Another way is you can study full-time at a culinary college or chef training school. There are a number of City & Guilds chef qualifications at varying levels, aimed at those who want to work as professional chefs and other food outlets.

If you check your local careers service, they will have more detailed information about finding jobs and courses in food preparation. Here are some organizations that maybe help. (But additional research is advised)
• City & Guilds
• The Hospitality Training Foundation
• The Learning and Skills Council
• There are several websites that make useful starting points for finding out more about Modern Apprenticeships. Scottish Enterprise
• Modern Apprenticeships in Scotland

How to Pick and Cook Popular Steak Cuts

2009-10-01T07:42:00.001+07:00

Many of us have trouble determining which steak is the right one for you, especially if we mostly see steak on our plate in a restaurant. This can make it seem pretty intimidating for those of us who would like to start cooking our own steaks at home. Let us take a look at some of the steaks we can buy, and the best way to prepare them.

Rib Eye - A good cut for beginners and popular all round choice in restaurants, this fatty steak is flavorful and juicy, and works well in most cooking situations, whether broiled, grilled, or pan-fried.

New York Strip - A tender, versatile cut that has a reasonably good level of flavor, this steak grills, or pan cooks well, but do not bother broiling it. Trim fat only after cooking to preserve the greatest amount of flavor.

Tenderloin - Steaks from the tenderloin are among the most expensive cuts available, but are lean and extremely tender, due to the limited use these muscles receive. The low fat of this steak causes many people to wrap it in bacon before cooking or sear it in butter. High in price, tenderloin is usually a choice for important occasions.

T-Bone - We have all heard of the t-bone, a combination tenderloin and New York Strip. Porterhouse steaks are a kind of large, tender t-bone steak that is cut further up the loin. They can be pretty tricky to cook, since the bone makes it hard to cook evenly throughout. This is not a steak for those who prefer their meat well done, and it does not sear or pan fry well. Try broiling or grilling a t-bone for best results.

Flank Steak - This long thin cup of meat is traditionally used for making London Broil. Many people like it during grilling season, as it is a good choice for large groups. This steak is more flavorful but tougher than the above steaks, and should be marinated, grilled or broiled whole, and sliced across the grain on the diagonal.

Skirt Steak - A lot like a flank steak, this is a piece of meat that can be cooked a number of different ways. Many choose a pan, but cooking steak on a grill works well here, too. Use this kind of steak in traditional fajitas and have a great Mexican or Tex-Mex themed cookout.

Top Sirloin - This popular steak is affordable, and more tender than flank and skirt steaks. It is tougher than the fanciest cuts, however, and is very lean. Pound and marinate it for cooking on the grill, or use it in kebabs.

Now that you have a better idea of the many different cuts of steak and their various cooking methods, you will be better informed the next time you are shopping for a good steak for dinner. Picking great steaks does not have to be difficult if you keep the information in this article in mind when making your decision. Once you have some experience at this, it becomes almost second nature and you will be amazed at the difference in your guest and family's reaction to the steak choice of old.

Frozen Foods in the United States report ( http://www.bharatbook.com/Market-Research-Reports/Frozen-Foods-in-the-US-2nd-Edition.html ) examines the U.S. market for frozen foods and beverages sold to consumers through the entire retail spectrum, focusing primarily on savory meal-type items and meal components. Following a comprehensive “Market Overview” chapter, separate chapters are devoted to the Center Plate, vegetables/Appetizers/Snacks/Sides, and Breakfast Foods classifications—each of which focuses on high-growth product categories and market trends and opportunities. The report provides extensive retail sales breakouts, past and future, along with a thorough examination of market drivers, the competitive situation, marketer and brand shares, marketing trends and consumer trends. Special features include extensive data presented in easy-to-read and practical charts, tables and graphs. The report also covers topics including organic and “green” appeals, competition from fresh meal solutions, shifts in the retail landscape and global new product trends.

To stretch their food dollars, cash-strapped consumers have been reining in their spending and changing the way they shop. Many are trading down—going to restaurants less often for dinner, reconsidering which products really are necessities, and switching to brands and product types with higher perceived value. The good news for the frozen foods industry is that consumers appear to be cutting back on away-from-home meal purchases and buying more convenient frozen items to eat at home or to ‘brown bag” to work for lunch. Even as the nation begins to pull out of recession in late 2009 or early 2010 frozen foods will continue to be buoyed by new convenience- and health-targeted introductions, with sales forecast to grow 25% between 2008 and 2013 to reach $64.8 billion. The report extensively documents ongoing and emerging product trends, using data from Datamonitor’s Product Launch Analytics tracking service to quantify and categorize new product introductions. Via Information Resources, Inc.’s InfoScan Review data for mass-market channels, the report tracks sales and marketer/brand shares across five categories (Dinners/Entrees, Pizza, Vegetables, Appetizers/Snacks, and Breakfast Foods), while relying on SPINSscan data to document sales and brand shares through natural supermarkets.

Soul Food Recipes: Why Soul Food Gets Healthier

Soul food recipes have turned from health danger to healthier dining, thanks to better ingredients and updated cooking techniques. The tasty southern meals your grandmother or great-grandmother fixed with love and caring may bring back fond memories, but they may have been the best for your health. The comfort southern food has traditionally brought is legendary. But a high price has been paid by those who were tempted to over indulge. For example, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and other ailments related to diet.

Many soul food recipes have traditionally included high amounts of fats, salt and other artery clogging ingredients. For example, fat-back, ham hocks, butter were staples in most southern cooking of the past. In addition to the unhealthy ingredients, most of the cooking techniques have proven to cause a loss of valuable vitamins and nutrients in the cooking process.

In response to the growing demand for healthier alternatives, the recipes continue to adjust to a more health conscious consumer.

Medical professions have taken notice of these changes and give them a thumbs up in most cases as long as their not over consumed and a proper program of exercise is taken up.

The new changes for soul food recipes include healthier cooking methods. For example, stir-frying instead of boiling in larger amounts of water , which helps to maintain valuable nutrients and vitamins. Another change cooking change is baking or roasting meats instead of deep fat frying. This one action can reduce cholesterol levels up to 30-40% in the average adult when combined with a proper exercise program.

Many southern recipes are now incorporating more leafy green vegetables, fresh fruits and leaner meats in menus to meet the demands for healthier menus. Many soul food restaurants are including these changes in their menus and receiving rave reviews and compliments from critics and more importantly from customers. The biggest concerns by many critics with all these changes is how will they taste. With the proper seasonings, marinades and herbs, the natural flavors of soul food continue to please consumers.

Memphis Coffee Shops

2009-09-24T08:34:00.002+07:00

Need to chill. Get some work done. Have a home office and want to be around people while having yummy beverages at your beck and call? In Memphis, here’s a guide to Memphis Coffee Shops and what to expect.

First Tier Memphis Coffeeshops

1. Café Eclectic- 603 N. McLean Boulevard
Memphis, TN 38107
901-725-1718

Featuring the ultra luxe Lilly Coffee, homemade desserts and gelato, a full menu, and lot’s of seating this is one of the A-grade coffee establishments in Memphis.

2. Republic - 2924 Walnut Grove Rd
Memphis, TN 38111-2714
(901) 590-1578

The claim to fame of Republic is being the latest open coffee shop in town. Need to work till 12, this is the place. Has a good variety of seating. Featuring a menu of great food that a lot of people don’t think to order, try the specialty French toasts. Downside is they’ve been convinced of the wisdom of cold-brewed ice coffee, which at its best is okay and at its worst one of the most horrendous inventions of man. Also, the place is kept fairly low key and dark, which makes working dangerous as the temptation to drift off is constantly present. Just opened this really cool conference room in back that sometimes can be reserved for groups. Very good regular coffee.

A lot of patrons know each other, rumor is from recovery groups.

3. Otherlands-
Otherlands Coffee Bar & Exotic

641 S Cooper St
Memphis, TN 38104-5352
(901) 278-4994

Features good and varied seating. The backroom is a great place to get some work done. Most well known of Memphis coffee shop. Along with Republic to a lesser extent attracts a grungy hippie chicks if you’re into that. Food menu not quite as nice as the other two. Has a Friday and sometimes Saturday night folk music that tends to be quite good and well attended.

4. Starbucks-
In terms of coffee quality, I quite like it compared to most Memphis coffee. Downside is of course that wifi is only free with an annoying card and account. Tends to attract more clean cut women and students. Also, a lot of credit for having locations out east which are quite rare.

5. Panera Bread-

Lots of credit for a good solid menu. They all feature these nice quite media rooms that would be a great idea for a local group meeting place. You should see if you can reserve them .

Second Tier Coffeeshops

1. Quetzal-
I really struggle putting them in second tier. Used to be a favorite. Known for the owner periodically firing all the staff and shutting down for a day or two. Can be great coffee. Good but very expensive food menu. Bad parking situation and also frequently doesn’t seem to run air conditioning and can be hot and muggy. Can be a good nightclub as well.

2. Bluff City Coffee-
All espresso coffee that’s quite good. I would have considered first tier and a unique resource when they had a working printer that made meeting clients there super slick.

3. Java Cabana-
Used to be one of the classics. Still decent.

4. The Edge – Really third tier.

5. Harbor Town Coffee- Located on Mud Island. Needs a better seating area. Good coffee. Really needs an aesthetic upgrade. The white tile floor is glaring. Seems very out of place in Memphis. Run by really chipper owner who you just want to see do better.

Chocolate Facts

2009-09-21T09:24:00.002+07:00

When you're in the market for chocolate, you will wind up doing a lot of research through consumer magazines, products reviews and the Internet in order to get the best information and chocolate facts. Knowing what to look for in the highest quality will make your choice a lot easier.

Dark chocolates are made without milk as an additive. Milk chocolate is made with milk powder or condensed milk added. White chocolates are a confection based on cocoa butter without the cocoa solids. Unsweetened is pure chocolate liquor, also known as bitter or baking chocolate. Couverture is a term used for chocolates rich in cocoa butter. Bittersweet is chocolate liquor to which some sugar, more cocoa butter, vanilla and sometimes lecithin has been added. It has less sugar and more liquor than semisweet chocolate. Compound chocolate is the technical term for a confection combining cocoa with vegetable fat, usually tropical fats and/or hydrogenated fats, as a replacement for cocoa butter.

Cocoa powder. There are two types of unsweetened baking cocoa available: natural cocoa and Dutch-process cocoa. Both are made by pulverizing partially de-fatted chocolate liquor and removing nearly all the cocoa butter. Natural cocoa is commonly used in recipes while Dutch-process cocoa is frequently used for drinks. Chocolate is a product based on cocoa solid and/or cocoa fat.

Chocolates contain phenylethylamine which is a mild mood elevator and anti-depressant. It happens to be the same chemical that produces the love or happiness feeling in our brains. It also contains a very small amount of caffeine. It is also considered an aphrodisiac. Very much like red wines, fruits, teas and vegetables, cocoa seeds contain important antioxidants called flavonoids, and has been linked to cardiovascular health. Dark chocolates contain about twice as many antioxidants as the milk chocolates do. Not everything that tastes good is bad for you and chocolates is definitely one of them. While chocolates and cocoa butter contain both saturated and unsaturated fat, but unlike many saturated fats the stearic acid in chocolates is a neutral fat and does not raise your bad cholesterol levels.

Proper storage and care is important and here is a short but very important list to ensure you will be enjoying every last bite. Store in a cool, dry place at approximately 65-70 degrees F. It can and will absorb aromas and odors of other foods stored around it and should be kept in mind when storing. For the most part the shelf life is around 1 year if stored properly. Do not store in the refrigerator, the moisture from the refrigerator will effect both the appearance and texture. The same is true with storing in high heat, this will cause a "bloom" effect which will not affect the taste but it definitely affects the appearance.

So, there you have it. Now that you have been given at least the basic information, the next step is up to you. Take these chocolate facts and make use of them, if your a chocoholic or know one these tips will benefit you for a lifetime.

Saving Money

2009-09-13T18:31:00.000+07:00

I see people in hardware stores paying out big money to buy new cabinets. I can't help but wonder if they know about the cheaper option out there called cabinet refacing. A professional craftsman builds custom doors, veneer side panels, and changes the hardware on your current cabinet body. There is nothing tacky or cheap looking about this and it has several advantages over completely new cabinets.

1. You don't have to spend the extra money that it cost to buy the wood framing. You only pay for the doors and some thin sheets of wood paneling. The savings can be up to 60% over the cost of a new set of cabinets.
2. The building process is much quicker. A cabinet maker can have the new doors and sides built in just a few days and have them installed in a few hours.
3. Using a cabinet maker versus pre made cabinets gives you the ability to customize the design of the doors. You can match the molding to other doors in the house or something you've seen on a luxurious cabinet set.

To get a quote for this service the easiest thing to do is search online for (cabinet refacing + your city). You will see local companies in your area that can give you a quote for this service. Agieslist.com is another good way to find a cabinet maker with good reviews from people in your city. Always get a few quotes because pricing can be very different from one builder to another.

The last thing I want to mention is the option to do it yourself. There are plenty or DIY resources online and in books about reface your cabinets. I have to warn you that the quality will look much less than a professional's work. To keep it simple, the process entails cutting the new cabinet skin out of a thin piece of plastic vinyl and gluing it to the cabinet sides. This won't help the value of your home and it might even devalue it. The only advantage is instead of paying a few thousand dollars for a professional, you only have about $200 in cost.

Green Tea for Good Health?

2009-08-30T11:14:00.002+07:00

Good health, fitness and weight loss? Green tea could be the answer you are looking for. For thousands of years it has been known to promote good health in nearly every possible way. Research has found time and again that it can lower cholesterol, reduce heart disease, fight cancer, boost immunity and give you great skin!

How is this possible you might ask? Well, research has shown that green tea burns more calories and is a powerful anti-oxidant. That it not only inhibits the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.

More importantly green tea is known to calm the mind. What could such a mind achieve? Anything! Think about it. We could set our minds on what we want to do and achieve it. Even if the day is hectic, one doesn’t feel it. You have the energy to finish all the office work, ordinary chores and go to the gym or for a long walk. A combination of the right food, right exercise and the right mind-set can achieve wonders. Any thing that one does is with the right focus and the results speak for themselves. The Zen monks call it mindfulness.

According to various researchers, L-theanine is an amino acid found in tea plants that is responsible for the unique flavor of green tea and said to promote relaxation and modify the stimulating effects of the caffeine present in green tea.. Some Japanese researchers have even found that theanine is a caffeine antagonist, meaning that it offsets the "hyper" effect of caffeine. No wonder people say lets have a soothing cup of tea and not coffee!

Green teas have 10 times the amount of antioxidants found in fruits and veggies, by one estimate. And is a very rich source of a specific kind of antioxidant called flavonoids. Antioxidants that protect cells from free radicals and the damage that can lead to blood clot formation, atherosclerosis, and cancer, says research. Green tea extract seemed to make the cancer cells behave unusually in a study involving bladder cancer cells - they had a hard time multiplying.

The journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how substances found in tea may help the body's immune system to fight off infection. Another report shows how substances in green tea may be linked to skin-cell rejuvenation.

Chemicals—known as alkylamines—which are commonly present in tea (as well as wine, apples, mushrooms, and other sources), are also present in some bacteria, cancerous cells, parasites, fungi, and other disease-causing agents. Drinking tea could prime the body's immune system against these agents, by teaching disease-fighter immune cells to recognize and remember alkylamines.

A study in the Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, reveals that other chemicals found in tea are able to reactivate dying skin cells and could one day possibly be applied not only to anti-aging remedies but also to wound healing and the treatment of skin conditions. In fact some anti-aging cosmetics already contain tea extracts. So given the research and evidence a few cups of green tea could keep you refreshed through the day.

The Chinese reputedly discovered tea several thousand years ago and felt that it did them a world of good. And maybe you could feel the same too. What could be better than sip a cup of green tea, calm the mind, get everything in the day done, and still have energy for the gym or a refreshing walk? A passerby might just say ‘hey you are really glowing today!

Tips for Grilling Organic Beef

2009-08-30T11:10:00.002+07:00

There is nothing wrong with cooking a steak or hamburger inside the house, using your stove. But let's face it: summertime is grilling time, and there's nothing quite like the taste of juicy organic beef that's been grilled to perfection in the great outdoors.

We sometimes get asked whether there's a special technique for grilling organic grass-fed beef, as opposed to conventional beef. The answer is no. But you should be ready for a steak that looks and tastes different than what you may be used to.

High-quality grain-fed steaks have the abundant white marbling you may associate with a classic steakhouse meal. Grass-fed beef is much less marbled. It's also lower in saturated fat and higher in healthy omega-3 fatty acids (which are also found in fish such as tuna and salmon). While marbling has conventionally been the sign of a superior steak, we think you will be surprised by how fantastic grass-fed steaks taste. Many people find grass-fed beef especially full of flavor, and they love the health benefits. Others incline organic beef that has been grain-finished.

Whether you opt for grass-fed or not, following these simple guidelines for grilling will assist in helping you avoid turning a good steak or burger into a flavorless meal?every backyard cook's worst horror!

1)CHOOSE THE BEST BEEF! We can't stress this enough. Meat is our business, and we can tell you that a lesser quality product makes an inferior meal. And grilled steak generally shows no mercy, since you can't "bury" the taste under a bunch of other ingredients. Organic beef sustainably raised on family farms is not only a enjoyable choice, but also an environmentally friendly one.

2)Heat, clean and oil your grill. The grill needs to be HOT. If you're using charcoal, that means you shouldn't be able to hold your hand over it for more than 2 to 3 seconds. On a gas grill, use medium high heat. Ideally, use a stiff wire brush to scrub away any leftovers from your last grilling adventure when the grill is hot, and oil the rack using tongs and a folded paper towel. For more about the finer points of grilling, direct heat, indirect heat, charcoal versus gas, etcetera, visit the Barbecue Bible website.

3)Bring your meat to room temperature. Let sit on your kitchen counter for about 20 minutes. This will help your hamburgers or steak cook more evenly and faster.

4)Season. Salt and pepper is all you really need for great hamburgers and steaks. But of course there are endless choices if you want to get creative: rosemary or thyme, hot peppers, whatever you like!

5)Cook. Turn the meat once during cooking. Adjust time for size of steak or burger and desired doneness. The most foolproof way to test a steak for doneness is to use an instant read thermometer. The internal temperature for rare beef is about 120 degrees; medium-rare is between 125 and 130 degrees; and medium is 135 to 140 degrees. With practice, you'll determine how to tell doneness visually and through touch (with a "poke test").

6)Let the meat rest. The meat will continue to cook for a few minutes after you remove it from the grill, and will be juicy and ready to eat after about 10 minutes. Enjoy!

Different Drinks for Different People

2009-08-30T11:06:00.002+07:00

Have you ever bought a cup of coffee and found that the taste is not to your liking? You wanted to throw it away but then you remembered you paid a few dollars for that cheesy cup of coffee! So you drank the whole cup even though the taste didn't really appeal to you.

This is not a problem that is unique or uncommon. It can happen to anyone. You see, the problem lies in the brewing process, and the choice of drink mix. When you buy a latte or a mocha from a cafe, you are buying a drink that is produced using a standard brewing process. Here is where the problem arises.

If you are an avid coffee drinker, you know that it is possible to produce many different types of tastes. You use a coffee powder that is well roasted for a stronger fragrance. Or you can choose to use a powder that has a lighter flavor so that your drink don't come out too strong.

But you can't really customize your drinks at a cafe can you? So the only option here is to brew coffees of teas yourself. This is not a really good option in the past because there is no easy way to brew coffees of teas without going into too much hassle.

Fortunately, Flavia has come up with the ideal solution. You can now have your favorite drink within minutes. The magic is all in the system. Here is how it works.

First, you need to purchase a Flavia Fusion Drink Station. This is no ordinary coffee maker. The design itself is ingenious. The drink is produced from a pack to cup. This means that there is no for washing or changing of filters in between drinks. You start by choosing the type of drink that you want to make, then load in the appropriate filter packs. The brewer has a detachable water tank at the back. Hot water is then mixed with the contents in the filter packs to produce the drinks.

In other words, the same brewer can be used to create many different types of drinks. If you visit the Flavia's official website, you will see that there are many different types of drinks that you can choose from. These range from more traditional coffees to special drinks like Milkyway swirl or Mars swirl.

You can have a Flavia Fusion System in your home or office, then load up on the filter packs. Make sure that you have at least 3 types of drinks available - one coffee, one tea, and one chocolate. When guests arrive, you are confident that there will be something that is ideal for your guests.

Machines come in 3 sizes - 1 to 5 people, 5 to 30 people, and 30 people and above. The larger the machine, the bigger the water tank. With a larger water tank, you can make more drinks without having to worry about the tank running out of water.

Now you can have gourmet coffee at home or at work, without having to pay exorbitant prices. The best part is, you are sure that the taste of the drink is what you really wanted!

Using Coffee Filters

2009-08-27T08:06:00.003+07:00

Perhaps you start your day in the exact same way as billions of other people – you head to the kitchen, grab the coffee filters and canister of coffee, and whip up your morning brew. Though you probably get the same results from this procedure almost every single time, you could actually improve the taste of your coffee simply by considering a different sort of filter.

Aren’t all coffee filters alike? Actually, there are a few varieties of coffee filters that include disposable paper filters, manufacturer’s filters, cloth filters, and even specialty filters too.

We’ll start this discussion with a look at the most commonly used of them all – the disposable paper filters. Because these are often highly processed products, they can be full of chemicals and bleaches that may not be harmful to the individual but which can seriously impact the flavor of the coffee. Bleach in a coffee filter? Remember these are paper products and they are treated to give the sort of appearances that consumers are used to. This means that they can contain whiteners and all kinds of materials that can change the taste of the water and the coffee. What is the solution? Most consumers are encouraged to look into the all-natural paper filters or those using no chemicals in the manufacturing process. This can create optimal results with even the simplest brewing processes.

If you are interested in retaining flavor and also being as “green” as possible, you can purchase clothcoffee filters. These are reusable filters usually made from unbleached muslin or cotton that can be quickly and conveniently rinsed out between pots of coffee. Most come as multiples and should be purchased to fit into the specific brand name of coffee machine to ensure the best results. Some manufacturers will create their cloth filters to work with any machines, but they give the reservoir size number to help with the purchasing decision. For example, a size #6 cone filter is very common.

If you are more interested in a permanent filter instead of those that require disposal or washing, you can always buy a manufacturer’s filter or a specially designed gold filter. The manufacturer’s filters are usually offered to consumers at the time they buy a new machine. Generally a blank order form is included in the printed documents inside of the packaging, but if not, most also make such filters available through their websites. These require no paper filters and are simply emptied into the trash or compost pile and then rinsed with water to use again. The important thing to remember about this sort of permanent filter is that it might absorb “off” flavors if the owner consistently uses tap water or water with chemicals or minerals that can build up in the coffee machine. For this reason it is usually a good idea to always use filtered water when brewing coffee.

Finally, there are some coffee machines with specially designed filters that include gold filters. These too do not need any further paper filters to be used, but they can work with any sort of water and prevent off flavors from developing.

Putih Telur untuk Hilangkan Komedo

2009-07-17T09:57:00.002+07:00

Komedo memang tidak terlalu mengganggu penampilan bila dibandingkan jerawat. Tetapi, kotorannya dapat menyumbat kulit wajah dan menjadi awal masalah pada kulit. Komedo lebih sering menghiasi hidung dan mengurangi keindahan wajah dan wanita biasanya memencet komedo untuk menghilangkannya. Justru cara tersebut akan membuat kulit merah dan meradang, apabila menggunakan alat yang akan membuat kotorannya semakin menyumbat.

Ada cara yang sehat dan alami yaitu menggunakan telur ayam atau telur puyuh. Pisahkan putih telur dari kulitnya kemudian kocok hingga berbusa. Ambil selembar kapas dan oleskan putih telur hingga merata pada kapas dan tempel ke bagian hidung yang dipenuhi komedo. Ketika kapas ditarik setelah mengering, komedo otomatis akan terangkat.

sumber http://www.acehforum.or.id/

Ada cara yang lebih gampang untuk menghilangkan komedo menggunakan putih telur. Pisahkan kuning telur dengan putihnya, bisa pakai telur jawa atau telur ayam biasa. Saya sarankan memakai telur jawa karena khasiatnya yang dipercaya. Oleskan putih telur ke seluruh wajah atau sesuai kebutuhan, tunggu hingga mengering (usahakan jangan sampai bergerak karena sedikit gerakan saja akan membuat olesan telur yang kering menjadi pecah-pecah akibatnya pori-pori wajah bisa rusak). Kalau sudah mengering, bilas dengan air hangat kemudian basuh lagi dengan air biasa...

Selamat mencoba dan bebas KOMEDO dengan cara yang alami, aman, dan halal tentunya... hehehe...

IBM Smart Kitchen

2009-05-18T15:31:00.002+07:00

I recently saw IBM’s Smart Kitchen that includes several items that are meant to speed up the time you spend in the kitchen while allowing you to spend more time with your family. IBM is known for making many innovative products and like most people, I am always looking at ways to save time so I was really looking forward to seeing what they had to offer. They had 3 products that they were really focusing on: a refrigerator/stove, a multimedia center for the kitchen, and a new refrigerator.

In this article I’ll solely be focusing on the refrigerator/stove, which is an actual stove that includes the functionality of a refrigerator. Basically what you do is prepare the meal ahead of time and put the food in it and turn on the fridge part. When you’re coming home you call the refrigerator/stove and it starts cooking. You can put food in overnight, go to work and while you’re driving home call up the stove, tell it “hi”, and turn the oven on to 350 degrees.

Now, I have mixed emotions about this product. I mean sure it’s great that you can start your stove while you’re headed home, but do you really need the ability to call your appliances. I mean yeah you’re saving the cooking time, but is it really saving you time? I mean while the food is in the oven there’s not a lot to do. I mean if you were at home you’d be doing something else anyway while the food was cooking. It’s not like you have to hand crank the oven.

The other thing with this gadget is the people who normally have time management issues are not really the people who are good at preplanning and preparing meals before hand.

I guess it’s good for someone that has to eat right when they get home, but that’s what an afternoon snack is for.

How To Make Strawberry Muffins

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Grease 24 regular size muffin pans with vegetable spray or use paper muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, blend flour, baking powder and salt together. Set aside.
In another large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, brown sugar, melted butter, lemon peel and almond extract until mixed well and set aside.
Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a small bowl.
Add liquid ingredients to dry ingredients and mix only until blended. Do not over mix, it makes tough muffins.
Spoon about 1/3 muffin batter in pans, plop about a tablespoon of cream cheese batter on top and then a teaspoon of jam on top of that. Add enough muffin batter to fill cups 3/4 full.
Sprinkle a little sugar on top of muffins before baking.
Bake for 20-25 minutes at 350° depending on your oven. The muffins should be light golden brown and spring back when you touch them.
Remove from pans and cool completely before storing them in a tight fitting container.
Makes 20 - 28 muffins depending on how big your pans are.
