Laptop Battery Life - 3 Powerful Ways to Extend the Lifespan of Your Laptop Battery

2010-01-15T23:51:00.000-08:00

1. Lower your laptop screen brightness to about 70%. Doing this will save you up to 10 watts of electricity per hour and prevent the laptop battery from getting discharged faster.

2. If you're buying a new laptop, make sure it has enough RAM. That's because when your system RAM is full, programs access the Virtual memory on your hard disk. This consumes more battery power than directly accessing RAM.

3. Ventilate your laptop and keep it cool at all times. High temperatures are known to kill your laptop battery faster.

Herpes & Cold Sores - Use Toothpaste to Cure Cold Sores

2010-01-14T22:10:00.000-08:00

Cold sores are a contagious, communicable disease that spread through skin contact and touch. Mouth sores (mouth herpes) are among the most common forms of this infestation, though it may affect the fingers and eyelids as well.

While there's no easy cure for herpes & cold sores, one home remedy that actually "cools" the infected skin area, is toothpaste.

Firstly, wash the infected sores with an anti-bacterial liquid to sanitize it off germs and bacteria. Ointments with alcohol content in them also work well, if you don't have an anti-bacterial liquid.

Next, apply a good amount of toothpaste on the sores till it hardens and dries. Leave it for 3 days before washing off. The sore blisters turn to crust, leaving new skin to form.

Pot Belly Pigs As Pets - 3 Facts About Pot Bellied Pigs

2010-01-14T00:13:00.000-08:00

1. They may be known as stubborn, aggressive animals but are in fact playful, intelligent, curious and (almost) as lovable as dogs. Research shows that they are the 4th smartest animal and can be house trained with the right instruction.

2. A pot bellied pig reaches full size in 3-4 years. It can live up to 15 years of age and weigh 130-150 pounds. Obese pigs are known to cross 200 pounds, and that's where pet owners need to be careful.

3. Pot belly pigs as pets are very popular in the UK and US. The original pigs brought into the US were black. Over the years, you see pigs in a variety of colors including white, gray, tan and red.

DUI Miranda Rights - The Miranda Warning is Not Mandatory if you are being Arrested for DUI

2010-01-13T11:02:00.000-08:00

Here's a case where a civilian is being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and endangering the lives of citizens, while also putting himself at risk. What are his rights? Is the cop obliged to read out the Miranda warning before placing him under arrest?

The answer is 'No'... And that's where comes the tricky issue of "your right to remain silent" as anything you say can be used against you in a court of law.

While the Miranda warning is mandatory under all other circumstances, it is not mandatory that the cop reads out your rights before making a DUI arrest.

That's probably because the defendant (innocent until proven guilty) is too drunk to understand the "nature" of his rights. So till he comes to his god-given senses -- or till he is assigned a lawyer -- he must try and remain silent.

Pontoon Boat Plans - Easy to Build your own Pontoon Boat at Home with PVC Pipes

2010-01-12T10:43:00.000-08:00

PVC is a perfectly good and buoyant material for the pontoons. The simplest way to build a complete boat is by connecting together PVC pipes that are 12 inches wide and 16 feet long.

You can do it better with boat plans that show the top-side-front-back views of what your pontoon should look like. Of course, for more complex designs like commercial quality pontoons or a seasonal houseboat, it pays to work with custom plans that you can tweak on a computer.

You can also fabricate a pontoon boat from aluminum. If so, buy a good MIG welder like Pulse.

Reconditioned Laptop Battery - The Fast Solution To Revive & Reuse Old Laptop Batteries

2010-01-12T05:25:00.000-08:00

Like car batteries, laptop batteries can be recharged up to 500 cycles. Once the cycle of 300-500 charges is done (in about 2-3 years), you will notice your a steady decline in your battery's charge retaining capacity.

If you don't want to junk it yet, reconditioning is the answer to revive and reuse an old laptop battery. So how do you figure out if your own battery can be reconditioned?

Simple! Just see how long it runs on a full charge. If the time till complete discharge is about 1 hour, the battery can be reconditioned.

But if you notice the battery discharging in just a few minutes, then it needs to be replaced.

Slip And Fall Injuries in Senior Citizens - 3 Reasons Why Fall Injuries Affect the Elderly More

2010-01-11T23:10:00.000-08:00

1. Senior citizens are at a greater risk of slip and fall injuries because of age complications. They are prone to Osteoporosis which makes their bones brittle and prone to fracture.

2. It is estimated that 1 in 3 senior citizens above the age of 65 suffers from a fall accident every year. A sizeable percentage of these accidents result in injuries that prevent them from leading an active, normal life.

3. As age sets in, it is much more difficult for the body to heal. Healing action in a 65 year old is not the same as that in a 25 year old. Add to that higher medical costs and extended hospital stay, which makes treating slip and fall injuries much more expensive in senior citizens.

Buy A Wooden Shed. It Lasts Longer Than Metal, Vinyl or Plain Plastic Sheds

2009-12-30T00:44:00.000-08:00

People who build sheds (including home owners and woodworkers) know this for a fact - Sheds built out of wood are known to be more durable than those built from metal or vinyl.

I know professional builders whose sheds have lasted 10, 12, 16 years without much maintenance. While it's true that metal and vinyl sheds are cheaper than wood sheds, if you add the cost of maintenance & ownership over the long term, wood as a shed building material comes on top.

Vinyl Storage Shed - Cheap Vinyl Beats a Wooden Storage Shed but Costs More in the Long Run

2009-12-17T01:05:00.000-08:00

Compare the cost difference between a vinyl storage shed and a wooden storage shed and no surprises, vinyl comes on top.

A vinyl shed costs $100-750 in various shapes & sizes while a comparative wooden shed begins at $500, costing upwards of $2000-3000 in the premium range.

But if you're planning to build one outside -- for your garden tools or other equipment -- keep in mind that vinyl can become the devil's curse after a couple years in the sun or rain.

Expect your cheap vinyl storage shed to develop leaks, cracks and wear out its utility in 3-5 years. In comparison, I've got a custom-built wooden shed that has lasted 12 years with just a fresh coat of paint!

Isochronic Tones for Stress & Anxiety Release - How Isochronic Tones Differ From Binaural Beats

2009-12-07T21:00:00.000-08:00

Both Isochronic tones and Binaural beats are powerful in releasing stress & anxiety symptoms. The difference between the two is in the sampling used.

Binaural beats require a headphone as each beat (pulse) is played differently to each ear. The combined effect creates a brainwave entrainment environment that induces a sense of calm and a feeling of release from stress & anxiety.

In comparison, Isochronic tones use a single tone manually engineered into a holistic brainwave pattern. The result is a more powerful mind-body experience that does not require a headphone.

Isochronic Tones vs Binaural Beats - Are Isochronic Tones Better Than Binaural Beats?

2009-12-07T11:38:00.000-08:00

Isochronic Tones are a "step up" from Binaural Beats even though the end purpose of both is to beat stress, induce relaxation and boost mental & creative energies in life-changing ways.

Both affect the brain in similar ways but what makes isochronic tones more effective is the sampling used.

When listening to Binaural beats, you need headphones to gain the full effect of the program. That's because the mp3 samples use different tones that are played differently to each ear. (You probably won't notice it as it happens very fast)

In comparison, Isochronic tones use a single tone that are played in a pre-engineered pattern. Since they don't need headphones, the end result is a more powerful mind-and-body experience.

Toddler Discipline Techniques - Yelling At Toddlers Is NOT A Discipline Technique

2009-12-03T02:40:00.000-08:00

An Australian study has confirmed what most parents secretly knew: Yelling and arguing with toddler behavior issues does not create lasting discipline. Kids will be kids, and tantrums are second nature to tots who defy both reason and logic.

The only way that you, as a parent, can realistically expect your toddler to listen to you is by gently disciplining him.

Gentle does not mean weak and discipline does not have to be harsh. It means mature and firm.

When you are gentle, the reprimand has the desired effect. It may be slow & difficult at first, but toddlers listen, toddlers understand, and the difference between right and wrong becomes more clear to their impressionable minds.

Hostile parents create hostile kids. It's not a healthy environment for kids, parents or the society we live in.

Farmville Tiki Torch - Are the Tiki Torch & Mud Puddle Real Farmville Items?

One of our ever-observant Farmville players noticed two Tiki Torches outside a Red Barn and a Mud Puddle by the side. Though some claimed that it was a photoshopped efect, by the looks of it, both the Tiki Torch and Mud Puddle are real.

So, when will these new items be available? Only the developers can say.

But I did see both items on the main banner in Farmville. Zynga seems to be testing them out before deciding on their release. (Wait and watch!)
