Diet Coke Plus; the Healthier Option PDF Print E-mail
Written by Edina Nasseri   
Friday, 26 December 2008

Diet Coke Plus; Diet Coke with Vitamins and Minerals. Well, that’s what it reads on the bottle. Which is why the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have sent Coca Cola Co. a warning letter stating that the beverage does not have enough ‘vitamins or minerals’ to warrant the term PLUS. According to the FDA, the term/word is retained for foods that contain at least 10% of the reference daily intake value of a nutrient compared to another similar product. Coca Cola have no plans to change their labels. How exciting! I guess "...your friend really got a little friendlier..."

Stroke Signals PDF Print E-mail
Written by Edina Nasseri   
Wednesday, 24 December 2008

Stroke affects millions of people worldwide every day. In fact, in the US alone, 600,000 to 700,000 people experience yearly. That is a staggering amount! Defined as interruptions of the blood supply to any part of the brain which leads to brain or cell damage, it has become the third leading cause of death in America.

So do you want to save a life? Here are simple symptoms to recognise possible stroke. Ask the person:

S – Ask them to SMILE

T- Ask them to TALK coherently. Even stringing together a simple sentence like, “I had a good time today”.

R – Ask them to raise both arms above their heads.

Easy Aiming Makes Sewing Fun...Uh Huh!! PDF Print E-mail
Written by Edina Nasseri   
Wednesday, 17 December 2008

Not that I sew other than to darn my old socks…but this is pretty cool when it comes to reinventions.

I think a camel can now seriously think of squeezing itself through this needle.

Designed by Woo Moon-Hyung the Big Eye Needle is exactly what it says on the label. A needle with a rather big eye for easy thread stuffing.

I just wish this was around when I was doing my home economics in High School!

$1 A Day PDF Print E-mail
Written by Edina Nasseri   
Tuesday, 16 December 2008

Christopher Greenslate, 28, and Kerri Leonard, 29, are experimenting if they can survive on $1 dollar of food a day for a whole month. Their progress and stories can be followed on their blog at: http://onedollardietproject.wordpress.com/.

 

It seems like an interesting experiment. The rules are simple, both high school social studies teachers have to:

1. Only consume food that totals $1 each day for each one of them.

2. Not accept free food or donated food unless it is available to everyone (example, foraging, samples in stores, dumpster diving, etc).

3. Any food that they plant, they pay for.

4. Do their best to cook a variety of meals.

5. Should they decide to have guests over during mealtimes they must eat from the couples share. Which means that meaning guests don’t get to eat their own dollar’s worth of food.

 

Hmm, I don’t think they’ll be having any guests over during that time!

Never Spill A Drop Decanter PDF Print E-mail
Written by Edina Nasseri   
Thursday, 11 December 2008

Centuries ago, knights on horseback drank wine from this to avoid spillage. Used widely around the 1500’s and 1600’s, the kuttrolfen typically had narrow curved necks to slow the pouring of its contents down to a trickle.

 

Today, the design has been updated by Czech glass maker Josef Flek. It has also been designed in such a way that wine is aerated as it is being poured out.

 

Each item is signed by the atist himself and is retailing at about $38.00 - $58.00 depending on which size you choose.
