It's easy to be instantly drawn to a plasma TV screen, especially one that is displaying full HDTV programming. The visual beauty is amazing. And plasma TVs tend to be among the lower cost thin screen technologies that are available today. But there are a few problems inherent to the design and you should at least be aware of them before making a buying decision.
The first is that plasma TVs use inert gases that are illuminated to display colors on the screen. The way that this is accomplished makes for very high contrast, vivid images on the screen, but it also can be affected by high altitudes.
If you live above 6,000 - 7,000 feet above sea level, you should know that plasma TVs have to work much harder to produce the same image than they would at lower altitudes. This may not cause an immediate problem, but over time the monitor wears out much faster due to the extra work load. So if you happen to live in high altitudes, just bear this in mind when buying a plasma TV.
The second problem that plasma TVs can exhibit is a susceptibility to screen burn-in. This happens whenever any static image stays on the screen for a very long time and is still faintly visible even when the image changes. It is said to have been "burned-in" to the screen, and can be very irritating to see a ghost pattern still visible as you watch TV.
The easy way to avoid this problem with older plasma screens is to make sure that you don't leave the TV on when you are not watching it, and especially when pausing a video game for a very long time. Thankfully though, newer plasma screen TVs have technology built in to address this problem that subtly shifts the image to surrounding pixels as you watch and essentially keeps the image moving although your eye does not detect it.
The third plasma TV problem that we will discuss is the heat it generates as it runs. Plasma screens often cause so much heat inside the unit that manufacturers usually install a fan to cool it down while operating. This actually works very well, but on some models the noise that the fan makes can become an annoyance. So listen for this problem carefully before you buy.
None of these problems are major enough to say that you shouldn't buy a plasma screen TV, but they should be understood beforehand so you can use the equipment properly, and choose the
right plasma TV when you buy..
FrequenSea With Marine Phytoplankton Creating an Amazing Story Relating to Diabetes and Cancer
(ContentDesk) January 23, 2006 -- Marine Phytoplankton created in the ocean is the oldest food known to mankind. A sea farmer named Tom Harper harvests this Phytoplankton for his shellfish. As chance would have it, he became ill with diabetes and a rare cancer. So he did the unthinkable and ate the Phytoplankton. He has now recovered and created the newest superfood available to humans.The sea farm owned by Tom Harper is situated in British Columbia, Canada.
The $30 million dollar facility has the exclusive technology to extract the phytoplankton from the ocean to the land. This is a remarkable achievement considering how tiny these single-celled plants are. Phyto means Light and Plankton means Floating/Suspended.NASA scientists theorize that Phytoplankton are 3 1/2 billion years old or so. These single celled plants have the ability to convert sunlight, warmth, water and minerals into protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and amino acids. Phytoplankton are responsible for making...

Spirulina and diabetes management
Question : I HEARD that spirulina is good for health. I am a diabetic. Can I take spirulina? Other than this, what else can I take? Answer : SPIRULINA, with its high concentration of functional nutrients, is emerging as an important therapeutic food. It is an excellent source of complete protein, beta-carotene, B vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll and enzymes, which occur in their natural form for optimum assimilation. It also contains essential fatty acid, gamma linolenic acid (GLA) found in mother's milk, and evening primrose oil.
It helps to strengthen the immune system; support cardiovascular function; improve gastrointestinal and digestive health; enhance natural detoxification and reduce cancer risks with antioxidant protection. Due to these beneficial effects, spirulina is a good supplement for diabetics. There is evidence showing that insufficient insulin and excess sugar in the blood plasma can impair the conversion of the essential fatty acid called Linoleic acid (LA) to...

Wired. It's More than the Name of a Magazine
Recently I posted a couple of articles on my blog that discussed the new products that were being introduced at February's International Homebuilder's Tradeshow in Orlando, and how they will ultimately change the way new homes are built in the future. (See: http://www.stlagent.com for these articles).Some of the products are novelty items (like a magnetic chalkboard door), some are trendy (like a built-in coffee machine), but some will truly change the landscape of new home construction for years to come by addressing issues like environmental changes (such as the plethora of recycled products designed to reduce builder's consumption of wood).But to really understand many of these new products and why their development is important, you have to look at the underlying changes in our society and culture that drives their inventions. Steel, for example, was invented to build skyscrapers which could house the hordes of people cramming into...

How Do Plasma Televisions Work?
Plasma TVs have been one of the most popular home entertainment solutions on the market for several years. They offer outstanding resolution and a quality picture and are usually capable of displaying HDTV signals, allowing you to watch all of your favourite HDTV programs. Compared to rear projection TVs, plasma technology offers some of the best viewing angles- no need to fight over the best seat anymore- and offer uniform screen brightness.But how does plasma technology work? It's pretty simple. Some form of inert gas- say Xenon, for example, is inserted between two plates, which are held together, between which are over two million pixels, capable of producing a mind-boggling array of colors. The gas is then energized by a charge which turns it into a viscous substance, creating an ultraviolet light, which allows each pixel to display the appropriate color.
Unlike rear-projection TVs, each pixel in a plasma display contains red, blue, and green phosphors, there is no need for...
