I need new appliances, any suggestions for the best brand?

November 5th, 2009

I am buying a house, and all of the appliances are old, and need to be replaced. Does anyone have any suggestions for the best brand to buy?

Everyone will have good and bad stories for their particular brand but I have had good luck with Kenmore and Frigidare. Many of these brands are made by the same company with different names. I also like to see customer feedback on the item I am considering.

Sears.com still is the top retailer for appliances, and each one has a section for customer feedback.

Consumerreports.org also rates products independently. It does cost to have full access but it is well worth it if you are looking at buying just about anything. Many times however, they have free reports particularly on appliances. The cool thing is they are non-profit and when they test a product, they go in anonymously to a store, negotiate a deal and take it to the lab to test it. So it’s not like they are getting sent a hand picked model that is guaranteed to perform well.

Now go get ‘em!

Which juicers is better than the Jack Lelanne power juicer?

November 5th, 2009

The Jack Lelanne juicer is getting wonderful reviews but its very pricey, what others are as effective, if not better?

None are as effective or better.
Have you seen old Jack? He’s in his nineties and can kick the crap out of you and me together! At 70 Jack fought strong winds and currents as he swam 1.5 miles while towing 70 boats with 70 people from the Queen’s Way Bridge in the Long Beach Harbor to the Queen Mary, while shackled & handcuffed!
Whatever it is that is making him go is something we should all have.

Is there any relation between nutrition and head growth?

October 28th, 2009

I really need to know. Do people with bad nutrition and diet tend to have bigger head?How does nutrition effect head growth?
Thanks.

Um…no. The size of your head/skull is determined from birth. Your skull will never get bigger than it’s supposed to be (ie, once you stop growing). Therefore, it stands to reason that poor nutrition will not make your head bigger.

In fact, poor diet can have the opposite effect, since your bones will not be getting the nutrients they need to continue growing. If you have a serious nutrition deficiency, it’s possible that your skull will not grow to it’s maximum size.

what color kitchen appliances should i get?

October 28th, 2009

what do you have?

i have an all white apartment. and i CANT put color on the walls and i’m wanting to put color in the room with appliances, plates…etc.

i’m afraid to do certain colors though because it may cost more, and i need to do this cheaply. what should i do?

Colored appliances go out of style very quickly. Stainless steel appliances are very nice and classy. I would get those with some bright color coordinated
towels
dish drainer (if you use one)
rugs
curtains
pictures
If your table is in the kitchen make sure that the linens and the chair pads fit in with your scheme as well.

Since Marion Jones had to give up her medals, shouldn’t all World Series juicers do the same?

October 28th, 2009

If we’re going to do that to her it should be done across the board!
Cheating is cheating right?
The relay teams that Jones participated on had to return their medals too.
So, in that regards, a WS team should have to give it up as well right?
Explain how that’s different.

You bet they should give up their ill gotten prizes. how is it fair to the guys who played hard and got nothing.

If they are going to clean it up, clean it up.. if not.. start billing it like wrestling.. a drugged up sport.. if you want to watch, watch.. but don’t consider it a fair arena at all.

What a shame.

What is the difference between a nutrition and a dietetics degree?

October 21st, 2009

Hi, so it’s time for me to really think about what undergrad degree I’m going to work towards. But the university where I’m going cancelled their dietetics degree program (Faculty of Biochemistry) They do still have a Nutrition program. So, what I want to know is: Is there any significant difference between a nutrition or dietetics degree? Could I still become a dietition with a nutrition degree?

Almost anyone can call themselves a nutritionist and attempt to provide service without formal training, education and licensing. A dietitian, however, has completed several years of advanced college study to obtain at least a Bachelor’s degree and Dietetic Internship. This training, along with completion of the registration exam, is required for employment in hospitals and other health care facilities. The career opportunities and salary potential are far greater for Registered Dietitians.
Bottom line, you can become a dietitian with a nutrition degree after you get more education. A degree in nutrition alone won’t get you there.
