* Myth #2: Cold drinking water after eating fruit is bad for you. This one, around since at least 1923, is probably based on the truth that too much beverage, at any temperature, may dilute digestive juices.

* Myth #3: Cold drinking water harms delicate stomach lining. Currently on the Internet, this has no truth. Stomach lining is extremely robust, as it must be to withstand the highly caustic digestive acids.

For years, health experts have recommended that average adults have at least eight glasses of water daily. That amount should be increased if you exercise, if the weather is hot, or when humidity is low. Overweight adults, who require more water, should add an additional glass for every 25 pounds of excess weight in order to speed metabolism.

The body needs water, and the most important question for most people is not whether the water should be warm or cold, but whether they are drinking enough. =A92007, Anna Hart.

In summer season, people sweat a lot to get rid of this many people prefer being in and having cool things. In every summer season I prefer going out with my family to hill station, as it is cool and pleasant to stay there. Each and every person prefers being cool and keeping their body too cool, by having , going in a pool, turning on the or going out of station as I did. But sometimes circumstances are such that we have to stay at home, in such cases dehumidifiers works the best for us.

In summer, my kids also complain much as the heat becomes unbearable. Due to that they get very irritated; I tell them to have lots of water but this works only for sometime. For long term results, someone suggested me to buy a home appliance i.e.; dehumidifier which will keep me and my family cool in summer. Then I decided to buy one before the summer was near, was getting worse day by day as the temperature was increasing. The only way which worked wonders by tackling the heat was buying this appliance from Toronto appliance. A person who stays at a place where the temperature is hot throughout the year has to prefer having a dehumidifier. This helps to keep the air cool and the humidity at 45%. Whereas people leaving in cool place throughout the year, have to prefer a instead of refrigerant dehumidifier. Desiccant dehumidifier controls the humidity automatically i.e., decreases humidity when the humidity is high and increases the humidity when it is too low to make the atmosphere feel warmer.

When buying a product never try to save money by not buying a unit which does not include an automatic defrosts. Because if a frosted-over dehumidifier is left running for a long time then this can lead to break down. If you don't want this to happen, then it is better you prefer a unit which has a two-speed fan attached to it. You can get this unit sitting at home; log onto your computer and login to Canada appliance site, which will help you a lot. Both types of dehumidifier are available here, leaving these they also have other which can be got.

They have different models which you can select from the website. I was happy with the results that I got, and the site also gave me good customer service, right from taking my order to shipping the product at my house.

When a city such as Downtown strategically plants trees around homes and buildings the interior is directly cooled, therefore reducing air conditioning and peak energy demand. It has been proven that trees effectively cool the air and buildings around them through the production of shade and "evapotranspiration" which is the evaporation of water from leaves.

It is interesting to learn that the shade from trees make the surface cooler anywhere from 9 to 36 degrees F or 5 to 20 degrees C. This is much cooler than the peak surface temperature of un-shaded areas. These cool "shaded" areas decrease the quantity of heat transferring to buildings=85.thus reducing the energy needed for air conditioning.

We should also keep in mind that trees and vegetation improve air quality most notably by reducing Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions, decreasing and by improving community livability. NASA reported in a 2004 article that some US cities have initiated the planting of on city buildings to help cool the urban surface. Rooftop gardens insulate buildings and reduce energy consumption by intercepting solar energy that would otherwise heat the roof surface. And because rooftop gardens are irrigated, evapotranspiration helps cool the air.

The decision is actually far more complicated than that, as there are several different types within those two categories. Let's take an entirely different approach, and ask three important questions: 1. Is noise important? The most popular type of cool mist humidifier uses a fan to help evaporate the water. Obviously, a fan can make quite a lot of noise, and can be very annoying when you are trying to sleep. that use a can make a gurgling noise. This is much quieter than a fan, but it can still be a problem for some people. on the other hand are almost silent to the human ear, making them the obvious choice if you require a noise free option.

2. Do you have children? Warm mist humidifiers used a heating element to boil the water. This means there is a burn risk, and they are therefore not for use with children.

3. How much humidification and do you require? Or, to put it another way, how many rooms do you have and how large are they? To humidify an entire building a whole house solution that will attach to your furnace is ideal. The particular model that you buy will be dependent on your current heating system as it will need to be compatible. For single rooms you have much more choice available. Generally speaking, cool mist humidifiers can cope with a larger space than warm mist. Each model will state clearly on it the size of area that it is designed to be used in. You simply have to match the capacity to the size of room.

Taking these three factors into account is a much better at way of choosing a humidifier. you now have a clearer idea which type is right for your situation.

Their noiseless provides your room with constant supply of and .

The portable evaporative coolers are the best option to beat the heat if you are residing in a hot and dry climatic region and looking out for some cost effective cooling system. They work by using either the direct or the indirect evaporative cooling techniques. What makes the portable evaporative coolers all the more attractive and useful is the fact that you do not require to install it permanently at any place. These evaporative coolers can be carried easily from place to place depending on the area that needs cooling.

Requirements For Portable Evaporative Coolers

Before opting for a portable cooler, it is essential to know how well it can satisfy your requirements. The portable units are suitable for rooms that are small in size. For better results, you need to position them near and open windows. The opposite side of the room needs to have an opening for proper air circulation. Water has to be poured at regular intervals as the water consumption rate can go up to 3-4 liters per hour. It is best to search for models having variable fan speed and gauge.

Workings Of Evaporative Coolers

The evaporative coolers provide a natural way of cooling the room temperature by supplying a constant flow of fresh and cool air to keep you comfortable during summer. Placed next to an open window or door, they draw outside air and make it pass through moisture rich pads. This process cools and filters the warm air which is then circulated in the room. The fresh cool air entering the room flushes out the stale hot air through the open doors and windows.

Due to their portable nature, you can not control the water level by connecting them to water mains. The water level needs to be regulated manually by adding water at regular intervals.

Maintaining Your Portable Cooler

Extreme humid conditions decrease the cooling capacity of evaporative coolers. Moreover, humidity can speed up corrosion of the cooling unit and shorten its lifespan. Make sure that your portable swamp cooler has regular supply of water to moisten the pads. Use water softeners to decrease mineral content in water to ensure that no mineral sediment is accumulated on the wet pads. Proper filtering system must be installed to restrict pollens and odors from entering your room. The water line requires protection against freeze bursting during winters. With their low initial cost and equally low cost of operation, the portable evaporative coolers come as a blessing for those with restricted budget.

But you can control the humidity indoors. s allow you to moisturize your indoor atmosphere. We give you some detailed instructions on how to choose a right humidifier for your home.

What is humidifier? A humidifier is a device that raises the moisture level in the air. It lowers the in the home, thereby minimizing the chances of getting an electric shock. Maintaining a humidity level in the range of 30 to 50% will ensure comfort and health for your family. Humidifiers easily achieves this optimum level of humidity.

How does humidifier work? The basic principle used by all the humidifiers is holding the water in the tank and spraying it in the air electronically. Cool mist humidifiers or evaporative humidifiers use a fan that blows water through a filter. This water evaporates, raising the humidity levels. first heat the water and then dispenses it in the air.

How should I decide between cool and warm mist humidifiers? You can make this decision based on your . Warm mist humidifiers are comparatively quiet. It also serves the purpose of dispensing inhaled medicines. You do not need filters as the bacteria are killed when heated. Warm mist humidifiers consume more energy because it has to heat the water. You run the risk of scalding if you are careless while handling the warm mist humidifier. If you live in a warm climate, it makes your air warmer.

What are the types of humidifiers? There are many types of humidifiers based on size, water storage capacity and affected area. Tabletop humidifiers, or are meant for one room and hence are small in size. They are either cool mist or warm mist. Console units are large and hence can humidify many rooms. So you need to check the area covered to decide if it is right for you. They are cool mist. Furnace humidifiers are located in the furnace ducts and can affect the whole house. Though they seem more expensive in the beginning, the expenses incurred on their maintenance are negligible, thus saving your money in the long run.

How do I use humidifier regularly? Clean and disinfect the humidifier frequently. Replace or clean the filter according to manufacturer's instructions. If you do not follow the instructions, there would be growth of mold, mildew and bacteria, thus worsening the problem. Low humidity can dry out the nasal passage while high humidity is conducive to the growth of bacteria and mold. Maintain the humidistat properly, which in turn will regulate the humidity of the home.

Of course with the puppies in the pond there isn't much room even for . When the heat is on outdoors it's a big help to keep the and birdbaths running on high, even better put a little ice in the water to help them cool down. The babies still don't quite have what it takes to keep themselves cool.

Make sure you clean out the fountains and birdbaths regularly. In this heat they can get very dirty quickly and can get deadly as well. You also want to make sure you aren't raising a bumper crop of mosquitoes either. Make sure there are ways for clumsy babies to get up out of the water, a little pile of rocks or a ramp helps.

The geothermal heat pumps are considered environmentally friendly since the technology uses the earth as a heating and cooling source of energy. Geothermal heat pumps save consumers money because one geothermal heat pump can be used to heat and cool a building.

The geothermal heat pump does not need to burn fuel for heating or cooling. A geothermal heat pump transfers the into the home for heating purposes and absorbs heat from the home to cool it off. This system works ground pumps that collect the heat in . The heat is concentrated and stored in these pipes until it is needed. These same pipes will send the heat into the building upon command.

When the home is hot, the same heating pipes are used to draw the heat from the home. The heat air is cooled underground and sent back to the home. The geothermal heat pumps can be modified for use in , water heaters and to melt snow along walkways in the winter.

The system provides a steady stream of heat or cooled air into the home. Unlike other heating systems, the geothermal heat pump does not send particles into the air when it is working. Geothermal heat pumps also provide silent service which is a welcome change from noisy air conditioners or heating systems. The system is activated by a wall mounted thermostat which can be used to heat or cool the home.

A geothermal heat pump may be either a closed loop or . Households generally use a closed loop system. A closed loop system uses an underground pipe filled with a liquid solution to conduct heat or cool air. The open loop system uses ground water or the earth to transfer the heat or cool air.

The geothermal heat pumps require an annual cleaning. Cleaning means that an acid based wash will be used on the pipes. With regular maintenance, the system will work well with infrequent need to replace parts. The air filter should be checked and cleaned as often as once a month. A technician can provide any further details about the operation and care of the geothermal heat pump.

Owners of geothermal heat pumps can save money on their heating and cooling bills. Despite the cost of buying and installing the system, owners report significant savings from using the geothermal heat pumps in comparison to heating or cooling the home with more traditional systems. Since the temperature of the ground and ground water remains between 45 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year, it allows the geothermal heat pump a continual source of warm or cool air. Fans of the geothermal heat pumps claim that they save almost half the money that they would have otherwise spent on their heating bills and up to 30% on their costs to cool their home.

Geothermal heat pumps are used in homes, commercial and industrial buildings. Their ability to save on heating and cooling costs is a tremendous attraction for many consumers. As an alternative heat source, the geothermal heat pump has a great future.If you are considering installing a geothermal heat pump to save money on your heating bills check out out geothermal heat pumps guide.]]> Going Green in the Data Center http://www.artwoo.com/article/going-green-in-the-data-center http://www.artwoo.com/article/going-green-in-the-data-center#comments Sun, 12 Oct 2008 21:01:27 +0000 heat reductionserver roomsincreasing energyextra energyusing energyserver backupenergy use http://www.artwoo.com/article/going-green-in-the-data-center increasing energy use, data centers are starting to find ways to lower their consumption.

Many companies are finding ways to make their data centers more energy efficient. One way of doing this is to use servers that shut down or idle when they're not in use. By allowing servers to have idle time, you save energy and power when the server is not in use. The problem that comes along with this is that it takes about twice as much energy to power the than it does to just let it run. So for this option to work you have to take into consideration the that will be used when the server needs to be accessed again.

One solution is to use the "80/20" rule, where 20% of the servers will be accessed 80% of the time, and the remaining servers being accessed the rest of the time. In this case, a plausible solution is to have only the most used 20% of servers on all the time. And the remaining 80% will run with energy-efficient servers that have the ability to power down when they are not in use. This way, the data center still saves energy without interfering with access to the server.

is the area that eats up most of the energy in many data centers. It can be a difficult task to keep the room cool with so many servers generating heat. Data centers can go green by -efficient cooling systems. Instead of using the traditional method of cooling the room with air conditioners, data centers can use water to cool the room.

Using water to cool the is much more efficient than air cooling because it can handle higher temperatures since water is more conductive of heat. Data centers are slow to implement this cooling system though, because of the potential problems it might cause within the data center. A small leak could do great damage to many of the servers. However, there are many systems available now that have been tested and are proven to be reliable.

Another idea that some people are throwing around for green cooling is using liquid metal to cool the racks. The benefit of this is that the metal can cool the servers without any moving parts and without the concerns of pumping water through the racks.

Other ways that data centers are implementing green solutions are by using on-site power generation using fuel cells, solar power, or by using direct-current wiring to lower electricity use. Collecting rainwater for toilet and landscaping, using non-volatile paints and using reflective materials to reduce heat absorption are some other techniques data centers are implementing to reduce costs and raise the overall efficiency of the building.

Energy consumption is rising exponentially and data centers are one of the leading consumers of energy throughout North America. With increased awareness to the problem of energy efficiency and over-consumption, it's important that data centers implement as many techniques as they can to curb the amount of energy they use.Saleh Tousi is the CEO of SmarttNet, a Vancouver IT company offering comprehensive business Internet services including Vancouver colocation since 1995.]]> Promotional Personal Fans -- Keeping You Cool When the Sun is Hot http://www.artwoo.com/article/promotional-personal-fans-keeping-you-cool-when-the-sun-is-hot http://www.artwoo.com/article/promotional-personal-fans-keeping-you-cool-when-the-sun-is-hot#comments Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:43:31 +0000 personal fanshot weathergreat advertisinggood advertisingbeginning of springpromotional itemfundraising events http://www.artwoo.com/article/promotional-personal-fans-keeping-you-cool-when-the-sun-is-hot personal fans.
