Choose The Right Washing Machine For Your Family...!!!!

Washing machines have come a long way, and are an essential part of a smooth-running household. When there's a problem with the washing machine, laundry chaos ensues. Choose the right washing machine by knowing the pros and cons of each type, and what features are a must-have for your family.

Top-Loading Washers

Top-loaders were the standard home washing machine for a long time, and many people still use them. They have a door that opens on the top for loading, and an agitator sits in the middle of the wash tub. This agitator moves the clothes through the water to get them clean.

One advantage of top-loaders is price. They are the most economical choice among washing machines by far. Also, the door does not lock on these models so users can throw in forgotten garments after the cycle has started.

Unfortunately top-loading washers typically don't get the best ratings for effectiveness, when compared to front loaders, or the newer high-efficiency top loaders. If getting clothes as clean as possible is important, you may need to consider other options. Also, top-loaders use the most amount of water, and the agitator can be tough on clothes, sometimes causing stretching and pulling. Washing heavy or bulky items can cause balance problems in the machine as well.

Front-Loading Washers

Aside from the obvious difference in the door location, front-loaders differ from top-loaders in that there is no agitator. Rather than pulling clothes through the water, the clothes are pulled up and dropped down into the water repeatedly. Because the tub does not have to fill up with enough water to cover the clothes for washing and rinsing, front-loaders use about forty percent less water. Because less water is used, less detergent is needed as well (using high-efficiency detergent is recommended).

With no agitator, front-loaders have room to handle a larger laundry load. Many are designed to stack a dryer on top to save on space, and because they spin so much of the water out of the clothes, drying time decreases as well


A disadvantage of a front-loader is the price, which can be more than twice as much as a traditional top-loading washing machine. It's high velocity spinning can also cause vibrations that may be disturbing if the washer is near a living area or bedroom.

High-Efficiency Top-Loading Washing Machines

The HE top loaders are the newest creature in the appliance aisle, and thus, has had less time to develop a reputation. These look similar to traditional top-loaders, but work like a front loader in that they have no agitator; they turn and spin to move the laundry through the water. They spin at high speeds to reduce drying time, and use less water and detergent like the front-loader. One advantage over the front-loader is the user won't have to bend down to get that last sock out of the back.

A typical complaint about these washers is the high spin speed causes clothes to become overly-wrinkled, but the spinning seems to vibrate less than the front-loaders.

Washing Machine Features

Walk though an aisle of new washing machines and you'll see all sorts of buttons and lights that do different things. Consider some of these features before shopping so you'll know which ones are important to you in a new washing machine:
Automatic dispensers for detergent, fabric softener, and bleach
Extra rinse cycle (helpful for removing excess detergent for those with sensitive skin)
Automatic temperature control
Manual/dial controls vs. electronic controls
Porcelain lid to resist scratching
Stainless steel or plastic tub to discourage rusting
Steam feature which claims to sanitize
Delay start
Pre-wash or soaking feature

There are an abundance of choices in washing machines today, and each household has different needs. By considering price, advantages, disadvantages, and desired features, families can easily find a washing machine that will work for them.

3 Tips To Help Men Date After Divorce.....!!!!!

Beginning to date after a divorce can be stressful for a lot of men, but look on the bright side. It can be a lot of fun too. Let's face it, you've been married for a while and the marriage obviously was a drag otherwise you wouldn't be divorced and dating again. Remember how much fun you had dating in your past? It's time to relive those memories. But the playing field is a little different now. Women come on a little stronger these days, so don't be too alarmed. This article will give you 3 tips to help you date after divorce AND how to get women to like you almost immediately.

1. Men typically think that touching a woman when they first meet is forbidden. However, that's just not true at all. You'll want to have a good first impression while creating a bond immediately. You can do this by a simple touch. When you introduce yourself to her or when you're talking to her, softly and casually touch the outside of her right arm. The outside of her arm is not an intimate spot, so she won't feel uncomfortable. However, she will know that you're interested and that you're a personable guy. Go ahead and try it. You'll be pleasantly surprised with the results.

2. After you strike a conversation with her, you'll want to maintain physical contact with her throughout the conversation. This can be done in a stealth way so she doesn't think you're a weirdo. You don't want to be too pushy or too obvious about this now either. For example, when you two share a laugh, simply put your right hand on her left arm while you are both laughing. Or if she needs directions to the restroom while you're on a date, put your arm around her and swivel around towards the direction of the bathroom while holding her close to you. Then while you're holding her, simply point past any people or obstacles in the direction she needs to go.

3. Don't forget the contact close. A contact close is similar to a good-night kiss. Here, when you finish exchanging phone numbers or arranging a time for a first date, simply give her a side hug. A side hug is when you put your arm around her and pull her towards your side. This way she won't feel uncomfortable. A front hug is a little too personal. But a side hug is just enough for you both to feel a sexual attraction without being creepy. And as long as she feels some sort of sexual attraction, she'll want to see a lot more of you.

Dating after the divorce can be a lot of fun, so go out and enjoy yourself. Don't worry if you don't get the girl on the first try, if you dig her then keep her in your sights and don't give up on her. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day and your new date life won't be either.

Treating Diabetes....Cure & Remedies...........!!!!!!!!!!

Every day, scientists and researchers continue to get closer to finding a cure for diabetes. In the meantime, however, the focus must remain on treating diabetes and its symptoms.

Diabetes is a chronic disease. That is, once you have been diagnosed with it, you will essentially have to be treated for it the rest of your life. Fortunately, unlike in years past, we now have a variety of treatments available that can enable a diabetic to live an almost normal life with relatively few inconveniences.

Treating diabetes basically comes down to managing the disease. For most people, this means making a change to their lifestyle. And as a diabetic, the primary and most important lifestyle change that you will have to make is to begin to pay attention to your blood glucose levels.

Monitor Blood Glucose Level - You really don't know how you're doing in managing your day-to-day diabetes unless you periodically measure your glucose levels. You should monitor your levels as much as your doctor instructs you to. Normally this will be before meals, after meals, immediately upon rising, and before going to bed. Most blood glucose meters keep records of the readings over a period of time. This can be very helpful to your physician as it lets him judge how effective his prescribed treatments are working as well as giving him an opportunity to make course corrections on your medications and the like.

Medications - There are a number of medications that can help you to control your blood sugar. If you are don't like to take injections, there are oral medications that your doctor may be able to prescribe for you. Your physician may also be able to suggest natural herbs that can help your condition as well. The important thing is to always let your doctor know what alternative treatments you are taking. There are basically two types of diabetes drugs. Some drugs work by slowing down the rate at which starches break down to glucose. Other work by helping your body to more effectively make use of the glucose. Your doctor, in collaboration with you will decide which type of drug is best for you.


Begin to Eating Healthy Meals - When diagnosed with diabetes, this should be one of the first changes that you make. Your diet is something that you can do on your own and something that you have complete control of. In particular, modify your diet so that you are eating more foods that don't cause your blood sugar to fluctuate to extremes. Use the glycemic index to find foods that are both healthy and that cause only moderate increases in your blood sugar levels.

Start Exercising - It's long been known that exercise can help diabetics to control their blood sugar. As you exercise, the body uses the blood sugar to provide energy. In the process, it lowers your blood glucose levels. Regular activity will also help to keep your weight down which is another factor that diabetics, in particular, need to control.

The hope is that as time passes, your lifestyle changes will become so habitual to you that they become part of your normal daily routine and no longer are seen as impositions.

The Formula For Happiness.........!!!!!!!!!!!

He became a preacher in the 1940's, traveling across the United States and Europe, sharing about the love of God in stadiums filled with tens of thousands of people. He had influence upon hundreds of thousands of lives, and American Magazine said his leadership 'set a new standard Towards the end of his life he walked away from everything he had ever known, proclaiming that he had lost his faith. Though Charles Templeton was once known for working alongside his friend Billy Graham, their paths in life took dramatic turns in the opposite direction. In a final interview before his death, Templeton bemoaned where his path had taken him.

Two hundred years before Christ, Romans would scare their children by telling them, 'Hannibal is at the door' The legendary conqueror rode elephants into the fabled city, terrifying the people and the Roman army. After conquering the city, he captured the gold and the government, leading from his throne in Carthage. Yet after all of his accomplishments, he felt desolate and alone and ended his own life by drinking poison

It is said that one of the greatest lies the devil tells is, 'For you, personally, things will never change' As we will see, this belief is especially crippling.

Recently I attended a seminar led by Anthony Robbins. He introduced what he called the 'formula for happiness' Simple but brilliant, it is made up of two sets of letters, LC and BP.

When LC = BP, a person is fulfilled and happy. When LC doesn't equal BP, and the person feels helpless to make a change, they are headed for unhappiness. LC stands for 'life condition,' and BP stands for our 'blueprint' or our expectation about how life should be. What if your life is not where you want it to be? You have two choices, you can change your blueprint, or you can change your life condition.

For example, if your current life condition means working a job that is far from your ideal career you have a couple of options. You can find a new job, or you can alter the meaning you give to the position you currently hold. Or even better, you can change both.

Remember, it is when a person feels that things can never be different that they suffer despair. It is important to realize we are always in control of the meaning we give to our experiences.

Consider for a moment the life of Nelson Mandela. Spending more than two decades suffering injustice as he was held in prison, there was little he could do to modify his circumstances. However, he was fully in command of the meaning he would give those years, in fact sharing that he saw them not as suffering but as preparation for the day he would lead South Africa out of apartheid. Unlike Templeton or Hannibal, he found an empowering meaning behind his experience, and thus lived a life of fulfillment in a place where many would have given up.

So take some time and consider areas of life where you feel the most fulfilled and I believe you will find that your LC = BP. And in the areas where you find the least fulfillment, realize that in a moment of decision you can find happiness by changing your life condition or your blueprint, and perhaps even both.

Beware Of Credit Card Fraud........

Credit Card Fraud :

Always keep your CREDIT CARD in sight, when you give it for swiping…….. The next time you decide to use your credit card on a shopping trip, think again.

The Mumbai police have busted a hitech credit card fraud which they believe is the crime of the future. Four gadget-savvy youngsters from Andheri, two of them software engineers, got together to earn a quick buck and ended up ripping off over Rs 3 lakh of citizens’ money.

The foursome were arrested by the Juhu police on Tuesday. Interestingly, one of the boys was all set to leave for the United State s for a job in a well placed computer firm ..

According to the police, the mastermind of the gang is 19-year-old Leo Paul . A second-year engineering student at a Bandra college, Paul had read about a magnetic card-reading device which could store data once you swipe a card through it. Data from at least 12 such cards could be stored at a time. Paul realised that if credit cards were swiped though the machine, the personal data of a customer stored on it could be accessed.

He then teamed with Akash Kamble , a 19-year-old Lokhandwala resident, and ordered the card-reader from USA , using the Internet, since it’s not available in India ..

‘The boys befriended a waiter at Kings International hotel at Juhu to take their plan ahead. Every time someone ate a meal in the hotel and paid by credit card, the waiter would discreetly swipe it through the magnetic card-reader, which is no more than 6-inches long and can be stored in the pocket,” said investigating officer Ramesh Nangare.

Once the waiter was done, he would hand over the device to Paul who would download the data from the cards on to Kamble’s personal computer. The duo would then feed the data into blank cards, available in the gray market.

The cards were now ready to be used in Shopping malls and theatres, or to withdraw money from an ATM. Senior inspector Pradeep S hinde said that the boys forged information from more than 22 cards in this manner.

The fraud came to light after officials from HSBC bank complained to the police. The cops quizzed customers whose cards had been duplicated and discovered they had all visited Hotel Kings International and paid by credit card.

Investigators then caught the waiter who led them to the four youngsters. Paul , Kamble and the two other collegians identified as Manoj Chauhan (24) and Mahesh Valani (20), have been remanded to police custody.

NEW-AGE CRIME A portable magnetic card reader can store data from around a dozen cards tha t have been swiped through it; made in China, the device was bought on the net for Rs 18,000.

The card-reader is connected to a computer and the entire data is transferred there. The data is then stored in blank cards available in the grey market.. These duplicate cards can now be used to buy a fortune and also withdraw money from ATMs.

LPG Cylinders Expiry Date ?

LPG cylinders Expiry Date ?

Do you know that there is an expiry date (physical life) for LPG cylinders?

Most of us do not know this.

Expired Cylinders are not safe for use and may cause accidents.

In this regard please be cautious at the time of accepting any LPG cylinder from the vendor.

Here is how we can check the expiry of LPG cylinders:

On one of three side stems of the cylinder,

the expiry date is coded alpha numerically as follows

A or B or C or D and some two digit number following this e.g. D06.

The alphabets stand for quarters -

A for March (First Qtr),

B for June (Second Qtr),

C for Sept (Third Qtr), &

D for December (Fourth Qtr).

The digits stand for the year till it is valid. Hence D06 would mean Fourth Qtr (December) of 2006.

Information on Thyroid Cancer

There are about 20,000 new cases of thyroid cancer each year in the United States.
Females are more likely to have thyroid cancer at a ratio of three to one. Thyroid cancer can occur in any age group, although it is most common after age 30 and its aggressiveness increases significantly in older patients.
The majority of patients present with a nodule on their thyroid which typically does not cause symptoms. Remember, over 99% of thyroid nodules are not cancer! But, when a thyroid cancer does begin to grow within a thyroid gland, it almost always does so within a discrete nodule within the thyroid.

Symptoms of thyroid cancer: Occasionally, symptoms such as hoarseness, neck pain, and enlarged lymph nodes do occur in people with thyroid cancer.. Although as much as 75 % of the population will have thyroid nodules, the vast majority are benign. That’s right, most of us have nodule in our thyroid glands! Young people usually don’t have thyroid nodules, but as we get older, more and more of us will develop a nodule. By the time we are 80, 90% of us will have at least one nodule. Far less than 1% of all thyroid nodules are malignant A nodule which is cold on scan is more likely to be malignant, nevertheless, the majority of these are benign as well Thyroid Cancer Type and Incidence Papillary and/or mixed papillary/follicular ~ 78%
[ Follicular and/or Hurthle cell ~ 17% Medullary ~ 4% Anaplastic ~ 1% Overview of Typical

Thyroid Cancer Treatment : Usually diagnosed by sticking a needle into a thyroid nodule or removal of a worrisome thyroid nodule by a surgeon.
The removed thyroid nodule is looked at under a microscope by a pathologist who will then decide if the nodule is benign (95 – 99% of all nodules that are biopsied) or malignant (way less than 1% of all nodules, and about 1 – 5 % of nodules that are biopsied).
The pathologist decides which type of thyroid cancer it is: papillary, follicular, mixed papilofollicuar, medullary, or anaplastic.
The entire thyroid is removed by a competent surgeon (sometimes this is done during the same operation where the biopsy takes place). He/she will assess the lymph nodes in the neck to see if they need to be removed also.
In the case of anaplastic thyroid cancer, a decision will be made regarding the possibility of a tracheotomy. About 4-6 weeks after the thyroid has been removed, the patient will undergo radioactive iodine treatment. This is very simple and consists of taking a single pill. The pill will contain the radioactive iodine in the dose that has been calculated for that individual.
The patient goes home, avoids contact with other people for a couple of days (so they are not exposed to the radioactive materials), and that’s it.
A week or two after the radioactive iodine treatment the patient is started on a thyroid hormone pill. You can’t live without thyroid hormone and since you don’t have a thyroid anymore, the patient will take one pill per day for the rest of their life.
This is very simple and a very common medication (example of drug names are: Synthroid, Levoxyl, Armour Thyroid, etc).
Every 6 – 12 months the patient returns to his endocrinologist for blood tests to determine if the dose of daily thyroid hormone is correct and to make sure that the thyroid tumor is not coming back. The frequency of these follow up tests and which tests to get will vary greatly from patient to patient. Endocrinologists are typically quite good at this and will typically be the type of doctor that follows this patient long-term.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS :

1. No Breakfast : People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level. This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2 . Overeating : It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking : It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption : Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution : The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our 20 body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6 . Sleep Deprivation : Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells..

7. Head covered while sleeping : Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness : Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts : Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely : Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain...

Top Five Cancer-Causing Foods......

Top five cancer-causing food :
1. Hot Dogs Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can’t live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.
2. Processed meats and Bacon Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.
3. Doughnuts Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.
4. French fries Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .
5. Chips, crackers, and cookies All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.

Great Tips On Hair Care

If you want your hair to grow long and healthy, you will want to make sure that you take care of it as much as you possibly can.
Use a good shampoo and moisturizing conditioner, as well as a good leave-in conditioner.
Always remember that you should avoid using a brush on your hair when it is wet, so invest in a wide toothed comb.
Don’t make extreme changes in color, such as going from a shade of blonde to black.
Be sure to avoid using hot styling tools, such as blow dryers, curling irons and flat irons too frequently.
Try to limit it to once to twice a week, as more than that may cause heat damage to your hair. Proper hair care is not only essential to healthy hair, but it is also an important key to the hair growth process.

FOUR FRIENDS AND THE HUNTER

Long, long ago, there lived three friends in a jungle.
They were-a deer, a crow and a mouse. They used to share their meals together.
One day, a turtle came to them and said, "I also want to join your company and become your friend. I'm all alone. "You're most welcome," said the crow. "But what about your personal safety. There are many hunters around. They visit this jungle regularly. Suppose, a hunter comes, how will you save yourself?" "That is the reason why I want to join your group," said the turtle.
No sooner had they talked about it than a hunter appeared on the scene. Seeing the hunter, the deer darted away; the crow flew in the sky and the mouse ran into a hole. The turtle tried to crawl away fast, but he was caught by the hunter. The hunter tied him up in the net.
He was sad to lose the deer. But he thought, it was better to feast on the turtle rather than to go hungry. The turtle's three friends became much worried to see his friend trapped by the hunter. They sat together to think of some plan to free his friend from the hunter's snare.
The crow then flew high up in the sky and spotted the hunter walking along the river bank. As per the plan the deer ran ahead of the hunter unnoticed and lay on the hunter's path as if dead. The hunter saw the deer from a distance, lying on the ground. He was very happy to have found it again. "Now I'll have a good feast on it and sell its beautiful skin in the market," thought the hunter to himself. He put down the turtle on to the ground and ran to pick up the deer.
In the meantime, as planned, the rat gnawed through the net and freed the turtle. The turtle hurriedly crawled away into the river water. Unaware of the plot of these friends, the hunter went to fetch the dear for its tasty flesh and beautiful skin. But, what he saw with his mouth agape was that, when he reached near, the deer suddenly sprang up to its feet and darted away in the jungle. Before he could understand anything, the deer had disappeared.
Dejected, the hunter turned back to collect the turtle he had left behind on the ground in the snare. But he was shocked to see the snare lying nibbled at and the turtle missing. For a moment, the hunter thought that he was dreaming. But the damaged snare lying on the ground was proof enough to confirm that he was very much awake and he was compelled to believe that some miracle had taken place.
The hunter got frightened on account of these happenings and ran out of the jungle. The four friends once again started living happily.
Moral :A friend in need is a friend indeed...............

Be The Best of Whatever You Are

If you can't be a pine on top of the hill, Be a scrub in the valley - but be The best little scrub at the side of the rill.
Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a bush be a bit of grass Some highway to happier make.
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass, But the liveliest bass in the lake.
We can't all be captains, we've got to have crew, There's something for all of us here.
There's big work to do and there's lesser work too And the task we must do is near.
If you can't be a highway, then just be a trail. If you can't be the sun be a star.
It isn't by size that you win or you fail. Be the best of whatever you are.
