Talking Phytochemicals For Free Radicals

A 1996 study conducted by researchers at the USDA and the University of Connecticut at Storrs shows that the antioxidant activity of both green and black tea was higher than many common fruits and vegetables, including broccoli, cauliflower, strawberries and garlic. What accounts for tea’s ability to fight free radicals? Researchers from Horticulture Research International say it’s polyphenols, a type of phytochemical. Within the polyphenol group are catechins (which act as antioxidants), from which theaflavins and thearubigins are produced during the manufacture of black tea. Theaflavins and thearubigins contribute to

When Your RAID Breaks, How To Deal

With everything being digitized these days it’s getting more and more important to keep data safe and to ensure that your servers are protected. With more people starting their own businesses in order to live out their own personal dreams losing productivity is the worst possible thing that can happen to someone.

Raid-0
Since RAID systems are made up of various hard drive systems they will be susceptible to the very things that haunt computer users. Your hard drive could suffer a physical or logistical error that renders it useless. With RAID systems you need to be careful if your controller software bites the dust. It’s not really recommended to try to repair RAID failures on your own, unless you are extremely confident in your skills. Good RAID repair information can help, though.

If you aren’t confident in yourself or if you are completely aware that this is something over your head, you’ll need to look into a company that you can count on in your time of need.

How Much Data Can Be Recovered From A Clicking Hard Drive?

Blue Flowers Are The Best

EVERYBODY LOVES BLUE. Blue skies, blue eyes (at least in Nordic and Anglo-Saxon countries), candor, innocence, all such connotations. Blue flowers are in such demand, are such certain sellers, that the nurserypeople have to stretch the meaning of the word to its snapping point. More than half the flowers described in seed lists and plant catalogs as blue are some shade of mauve or purple. Truly blue flowers are few.

Yet many gardeners insist on having a blue border. Gertrude Jekyll, writing at the turn of the century, was

Orange Flowers Underrated

marigA widespread bias against orange prompts writers to resort to such euphemisms as flame, tangerine, and apricot. Yet there’s an inconsistency here. Marigolds are popular annuals, and marigolds serve up great gobs of orange. Sophisticates prefer Zinnia angustifolia, which is dainty of flower and leaf but still unabashedly orange. And which of us hasn’t admired butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) in a green meadow, or California poppies (Eschscholzia californica) on a grassy hillside? It isn’t the color itself that offends but the way in which it is used.

Preserve Fresh Cut Flowers Easily

Make summer flowers last. Our guide to easy drying methods.

The Basics

* When you dry flowers is key; cut garden blossoms at their color peak, in the midday sun. If you’re not preserving them immediately, place in a vase of cool water, in a dark location. Before drying, remove leaves.

* When sending florist or garden flowers to be freeze-dried, enjoy them for 2 to 3 days, then ship overnight. (You don’t want to dry tightly closed buds, or blooms past their prime.) Wrap stems in damp paper towels,

Delphiniums Are A Finicky, But Beautiful Flower

Where Delphiniums are concerned, good taste flies out the window,” essayist and devoted gardener Eleanor Perenyi conceded in 1981 in Green Thoughts (Vintage Books; $12, paperback). Flaunting “all the sapphires and azures of a Chartres window,” the flower-packed spires of the giant hybrids sometimes reach seven feet. Unfortunately, these rulers of the delphinium race, as Mrs. Perenyi calls them, are lately frowned upon by those who see no place for such gaudy showmanship in today’s more “natural” landscapes. Surely the plants’ outrageous colors (including newly available pinks, reds, and yellows,

Tea Service Takes America By Storm

In foodservice operations, tea service typically involves some version of the traditional tea setup with a choice of blends, both caffeinated and decaf. But “traditional” doesn’t have to imply the formality of high tea; nor does it require an elaborate undertaking.

“We saw the [increased] interest in tea as an exceptional opportunity to service our guests and increase profits,” says Cary Spence, general manager of Poets Inc., an English-pub-style restaurant in Jackson, Miss.

The Web Changed Flower Delivery Forever

“I still wonder if the flowers were wet because the stems were damp or my palms were so sweaty,” said Jim McCann, president of 1-800-Flowers. “But from then on, I knew flowers would be an important part of my life.” Mr. McCann was referring to his first date with Margarite, and the relatively circuitous route he took to becoming the first name in flowers in the on-line world.
