Choosing Between HDTV Plasma TV and LCD Televisions | By Fatima Edris

High definition television gets a lot of buzz today, everyone seems to be promoting a HDTV plasma TV. There are other technologies out there too, like LCD televisions, so which one should you buy when you are looking at a new television? Some of it might come down to personal preferences while technological factors will also play a part in deciding if a plasma HDTV is better than an LDC television.

Sound and Vision - Subscription Sound & Vision is at the forefront of the ever-changing, always dynamic world of electronic entertainment. Authoritative and accessible, written with insight and humor, Sound & Vision is the preeminent source for consumers of home theater, audio, video, and multimedia products.

The Differences

When you look at various plasma HDTVs such as Pioneer Plasma HDTV you will notice that it looks the same as an LCD television. Plasma and LCD TVs are both flat screen TVs and both types of televisions look similar but there are big differences in how the different technologies work.

It seems like a given that when you are talking about a plasma HDTV that you want to go big. Not everyone has the space for a really big television. Some people might not even want a huge flat screen television.

If you do want a big television then a plasma television is the way to go. They tend to be bigger, with the biggest models around 50 inches wide. Probably the best way to get the home theatre experience that you are after.

An important part of choosing between a HDTV plasma TV and a LCD TV would be the picture quality. After all it’s no good having a fancy TV if it won’t give you amazing picture quality. A TV HDTV plasma has a definite advantage over an LCD television in this respect. A plasma HDTV gives you better color contrast.

The difference in picture quality becomes apparent when you are watching anything with night settings. The technology of plasma TV’s allow for better color definition when it comes to dark colors such as black, dark blues, and shadows. LCD TV’s allow light to leak in so the darks in a movie are not truly dark.

Older LCD televisions really had a problem when it came to viewing angles. Meaning that someone who was sitting way to the side of the television would not get as much picture quality as someone sitting right in front of the screen. Improvements in newer models means that this is not so much a problem.

The great thing about HDTV plasma TV is that you don’t have this problem, or it is not noticeable. You can get good views and picture quality no matter the angle that you are sitting away from the TV.

How to Answer Essay Questions – 10 Tips | By Marianne Wolff

One of the most difficult type of questions to answer is the essay question. Typically essay questions have a high point value on tests and sometimes they are the only kind of questions on the test. Sometimes essay questions are given on worksheets and homework assignments. College applications also use essay questions to screen students. Here are ten tips to improve your answer and hopefully your grade.

Popular Science - Subscription Travel to the cutting edge of science and technology with Popular Science- and discover a world of incredible inventions and amazing scientific advancements. Be the first to know about the latest developments in cars, electronics, communications, tools, energy, aviation, space exploration, and much more. Popular Science is your guide to what’s new and what’s next.

1. Essay topics are not just topics you can simply find the answer in the book. The teacher is usually looking for you to use the information in the books or notes as a basis to support the conclusions you make in your essay. You need to have a good understanding of the topic to be able to apply it to a problem i.e. the essay question.

2. Make sure you answer the essay question. Often students will write what they know about the topic in general but never actually answer the stated question

3. Make sure you stay on topic – Sometimes students in an effort to gain some credit will find a related topic they are familiar with and write about that. Their hope is that they will gain some points but usually teachers are wise to this technique.

4. Follow the five w’s – Who, what, when, where and why are all going to part of your answer. In constructing a response to an essay consider each of these aspects of the question.

5. If you are asked how two concepts are related or how they are different don’t respond with a simple yes or no answer i.e yes they are related or no they are not. Explain how the relationship came to exist or how it works. Give examples if you can.

6. If you are asked to compare and contrast make sure you do both. Write about how and why these topics or subjects are related and how and why they are different.

7. Sometimes you are asked to make a recommendation. Don’t get wishy-washy make your answer sound assertive. The teacher has asked for your opinion and actually in this case wants to hear it (see it). Make sure you support your decision with evidence. What do you know about the topic that will support your decision and help convince the reader of your essay that your recommendation is the right one.

8. If you copy text word for word from another source, cite that source. Otherwise you will be guilty of plagiarism.

9. If your teacher specifies a length for the essay, keep your essay close to that length. Writing more is not going to get you any more points and the teacher make take off for not following instructions.

10. Follow the instructions – My father’s favorite quote was “If all else fails, follow the instructions.” So let’s say here “Don’t fail at all, read the instructions.”

Southern Seafood Pizza – Can it Be That Easy to Make? | By Eric Stifel

Southern Seafood Pizza

1 Can Pillsbury French Bread Loaf
1 LB. Snow Crab Legs (Steamed)
1/2 LB. Shrimp (Steamed)
4 Whole Baby Portabella Mushrooms (Sliced)
1 Jar Alfredo Sauce (about half the jar)
Flour All Purpose (just enough to dust your pan)
Cheese (1/2 Cup) Shredded Cheese (what ever you have)
Cheese Parmesan Cheese

Saveur - Subscription Saveur is for people who experience the world food first. It was created to satisfy the hunger for genuine information about food in all its contexts. With its emphasis on heritage and tradition, home cooking and real food, the magazine evokes the flavors of food from around the world (including forgotten pockets of culinary excellence in the United States). It celebrates the culture and environment in which dishes are created and the people who create them. It serves up rich, satisfying stories that are complex, defining and memorable. Saveur is the definitive culinary and culinary-travel magazine of its generation.

This is how pizza is done down south. Well, this is how I did a pizza in the south. It all started with a can of Pillsbury French Bread sitting in my refrigerator. I was looking at it and knew I wanted to make something with it. So I headed down to the store, and looked to see what would jump out at me. Well the Snow crabs were on sale and so were the shrimp, so the stage was set. The Baby Portabella Mushrooms were on sale to, so I snagged a pack of them too and headed home.

The shrimp were already steamed, but the crab legs needed some attention, so I set things up to steam them and smothered them in Old Bay Seasonings before I steamed them. They were done in about 6 minutes and once they sat for about an other 3 minutes I tore into them and got all of the meat out of the shells. While the crab legs were cooking I set up a baking sheet, with a sheet of aluminum foil, but the key here is, I did it upside down. It is, for me anyways, easier to work the dough with the pan upside down. Also get you oven preheated to 350 degrees.

I sprinkled some of the flour on the pan and opened the can of dough and very carefully unrolled it. If you look closely, there is a seam, and you can unroll it so it is a flat piece of dough. I supposed you could just buy a ready made pizza crust and adjust your ingredient sizes to accommodate that size crust. None the less, I used the unrolled French Bread and I stuck the pan with the now flat dough in the oven for about 7 minutes.

Saveur - Subscription Saveur is for people who experience the world food first. It was created to satisfy the hunger for genuine information about food in all its contexts. With its emphasis on heritage and tradition, home cooking and real food, the magazine evokes the flavors of food from around the world (including forgotten pockets of culinary excellence in the United States). It celebrates the culture and environment in which dishes are created and the people who create them. It serves up rich, satisfying stories that are complex, defining and memorable. Saveur is the definitive culinary and culinary-travel magazine of its generation.

After 7 minutes, I pulled the pan out and very carefully flipped the dough over. The bottom, which is now the top is a bit more cooked then the top, now bottom. This works out perfect. I took the crab meat, shrimp and mushrooms and generously placed them everywhere. When I had completed that, I took my jar of Alfredo sauce and poured it on top of everything else, being very careful to make certain I covered everything. I then shoved it back in the over for 6 more minutes.

After 6 more minutes, I pulled it out and proceeded to pour the shredded cheese all over the top, once again, making sure to cover as much as possible. I used a Mexican 4 cheese blend, because it is what I had, but any shredded cheese should work for this recipe. I then stuck it back in the oven and basically watched it from that point. Since all oven are not the same, rather then giving a time limit for the final step, I’ll just say, keep an eye on it from this point. You just want the cheese to melt, but not burn. My oven took about 4 minutes for it to get the way I wanted it.

Get it back out, let it cool for about 5 minutes, top it with Parmesan cheese and hot sauce if you like it and have at it. You can cut it into 4 good size pieces. Good Eats and enjoy!

Creating a Protective Environment For Computers, Printers and LCD Screens | By Richard N Williams

There is much more to protecting computers, printer, TV and touch screens in hazardous and harmful environments than just enclosing the device in a metal box. Industrial areas, outside locations and unmanned locales provide different hazards and potential problems for any electrical equipment.

In industrial areas the amount of airborne particles and liquids can be extremely high. Not only are industrial locations extremely dusty in many manufacturing and processing facilities, water and liquids are used constantly to clean and wash down surfaces.

PC WORLD - Subscription PC WORLD is the best-selling monthly computer magazine in America with over 6.2 million readers devoted to personal computing and related technology. Our award-winning editors deliver the Top 100 PC and product rankings and reviews from our state-of-the-art Test Center. Each issue is loaded with in-depth special reports and authoritative news stories, how-to's and tips, new PC trends, technologies, the Internet, and more. PC WORLD is an essential tool for any computer user.

So whether it’s a computer, a printer, an LCD screen or a touchscreen and it is to be used in an industrial area it has o be protected from a wide variety of hazards. Whatever device is used, the enclosure that protects it must be dustproof to stop airborne particles getting inside the electronics and causing havoc.

Furthermore, if water is used, even in small quantities the computer enclosure (or printer/ LCD enclosure) needs to be waterproof too. Indeed, some industries, particularly food processing, water is used very liberally so any computer enclosure of LCD enclosure needs to be completely water tight.

When it comes to outdoor use, there are other considerations to be taken into account. Of course, waterproofing is vital for any device that is to be kept in the open air, but also the device needs to be protected from the unwanted attention of vandals or thieves, especially in unmanned areas. For this purpose they need to be solidly built and be strong enough to withstand a heavy impact.

Richard N Williams is a technical author and a specialist in the digital advertising industry helping to develop PC enclosures and computer, printer and touch screen enclosures for all environments. Please visit us for more information about an LCD enclosure or other industrial computer solutions.

Kryptonite is Killing Superwoman | By Rebekah Pierce

Many women today tout being a modern day superwoman. They cook, clean, raise the kids, work and volunteer in their churches and/or communities. This is the 21st Century feminist.

Feminism of the early 19th and 20th centuries espoused the rights of women to have a voice and thus to choose what they wanted to do with their lives: work or get married and have children. Women like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Charlotte Perkins Gilman weren’t necessarily fighting for equality of the sexes, but rather the right of a woman to create her own destiny in a time that determined it for her: the silent, reproductive woman.

Subscribe to the digital edition and have BlackBook delivered to your computer the same day it hits newsstands. Get your first issue now!

The feminism of the mid 20th Century saw a major shift in ideology with the advent of technology. They wanted equality across the board. That meant access to jobs traditionally belonging to men, equal pay for equal work and being sexually free and choosing to not have a family. This Helen Gurley Brown generation supposedly burned their bras as a testament to how strongly they believed the Declaration of Independence was also talking about them when it said all “men” are created equal: men meaning humankind.

It’s 2009. Where is feminism now? Did women get their equal rights? According to a 2005 research report by the American Academy of University Women, “women working full time earn about 75 percent of what men working full time earn.” Health wise, women still live longer than men, but “Each year about 55,000 more women than men have strokes, and about 60 percent of total stroke deaths occur in women.” With regards to corporate America, they say the glass ceiling has finally been broken, yet “Currently, 12 FORTUNE 500 companies are run by women, and a total of 24 FORTUNE 1000 companies have women in the top job.” Teen pregnancy rates have been fluctuating over the last 10 years, but the STD rates are higher than ever it seems. In fact, 1 in 4 teen girls has an STD, according to the Center for Disease Control. Finally, the national divorce rate is still at 50% and the number one reason for divorce is…finances. Yet, the dating services industry is a multi-million industry.

Elle - Subscription ELLE is the international fashion magazine for sophisticated, independent women with a strong sense of personal style. The hottest designers. The latest fashions on the street and on the runways. Plus the beauty, health and fitness finds to keep you glowing.

Is this the end result of the equality so hard fought over the last 200 plus years? Today, if a woman decides to leave her career and be a stay at home mom, women in her own circle call her “nuts.” If she decides to put the kids in daycare and go back to work, many in her circle say she must not love her children, or she’s touted as a superwoman…a role model even…until she dies of a stroke.

This seems to be the feminism of the 21st Century: the Superwoman. But in an effort to be the superwoman who has it all and can do it all, women are dying physically, spiritually, emotionally and financially by the minute. Kryptonite – the career, volunteer work, the family – the feminism of today – is killing superwoman. What are we going to do about it? What can we do about it?

The Dark Side of Online Dating | By Jessica Z

When browsing in the world of online dating, there can be many benefits realized, as well as dangers and drawbacks. In addition, as with any dating niche, there can also be many dangers and drawbacks associated with online dating as well. Here are a few things to keep in mind when browsing and considering which online dating sites to use and, more importantly, what some signs of dangers and some of the drawbacks can be.

Women's Health - Subscription Women's Health is a fresh, smart, inspiring magazine for today's active young woman, offering practical, modern advice in a voice that really speaks to you. Through compelling journalism, a sense of humor and an authentic voice, the magazine speaks to every aspect of a woman's life including health, fitness, nutrition, emotional well-being, sex, relationships, beauty and style.

One of the biggest things that make online dating so very popular can also be one of its biggest drawbacks as well. This is the anonymity of the online world. For example, when a person signs up for a service, such as a chat room, or an email client, what guarantee is there that the information that is given by anyone is in fact real? Unfortunately, none whatsoever. Just like there are ways to spoof an email address, there are ways to spoof a photo or a profile of oneself. It is the biggest known factor on the internet that when given the chance, people can, and do, lie. While most of the prospects a person may be interested in on one of these dating sites may in fact give correct information, there are up to 5% of people who do not. Everyone has heard the story of a friend of theirs who has met that special person online who sounds like they might be the “one,” or they are “soul mates.” Just to find out that when they meet in real life they look nothing like their online picture or the stats that were given of their height or heaviness were not exactly right. This leads right into the next reason that online dating has its drawbacks.

This would be the fact that some people are sometimes so desperate to find love that they are willing to let go of their ideals or, sometimes, their dignity just to find and be with someone, anyone. The drawback itself being that by the time you actually meet in person the prospect, by now, you probably already so involved with this person, that it might not matter to you that they lied in the first place. That is what causes some people to be dishonest about their pictures or profile in the first place.

Elle - Subscription ELLE is the international fashion magazine for sophisticated, independent women with a strong sense of personal style. The hottest designers. The latest fashions on the street and on the runways. Plus the beauty, health and fitness finds to keep you glowing.

The fact that they know and understand that there are very “trusting” and “naïve” people out there that can fall for someone so hard and so fast, that by the time they meet, it really does not matter what they actually lied about. They figure it is something that they will get over soon enough. But one thing that needs to be remembered is, if they lied about the little things, what makes you think that they won’t lie about what really matters? And why is it that they don’t trust themselves enough to put the real picture or information on the online dating site in the first place? What exactly is it that they are hiding? These questions need an answer before continuing in any kind of relationship.

Another drawback to online dating ties in with the first one above, the anonymity factor, and can pose a great danger to anyone looking to join an online dating site. While most people are truthful when it comes to giving information, those 5% who decide to fudge their info do it for a reason. Some of those reasons may be innocent enough, but some surely are not. Take, for example, a sexual predator. A person like this may have joined an online dating community looking for their next “target” and, by giving false information, can most times succeed in hiding their past from their prospects. An online dater would have no way of knowing if the person they are interested in has a history or not. Now if the dater happened to meet in person the sexual predator posing as a prospect, the dater could be in a lot of danger and never know it. For this reason alone, it is always a good idea to check out anyone who you might be interested in meeting in person. Do some kind of background check, or Google them even if just to get the slightest bit of information you can on them. If nothing comes up, or if anything looks suspicious, always ask your prospect. It can save a lot in terms of time and, sometimes, even your life.

Online dating has become very popular over the years and with good reason. It is necessary, though, to keep in mind that there are dangers and drawbacks to consider, along with all of the obvious benefits. If you join an online site, have fun, but always remember to do your homework, because your “soul mate” may not be who they claim to be. It never hurts to check someone out once or twice, but not checking at all can kill.
