Slow Carb vs Fast Carb – Know what you eat

There are two types of Carbohydrate. Lets discuss about them in this page. Slow Carbohydrate : Slow Carbohydrate is the one which breaks slowly and create energy at a regular speed. Fast Carbohydrate : Fast carbohydrate is the one which takes less time to break down the foods. They also produce energy very quickly. If you are planning to lose fat, then slow carb is the one you have to look for. Let's discuss why. Fast carbs break very fast and increase the sugar level in blood. When there is a rise in sugar level and body understands that it cannot take all the energy that is producing at a faster rate. So it secretes insulin, which will turn down speed the metabolism. Insulin also direct body to store those extra energy to store as fat cells, which is the last thing you want. Now which are the slow carb and which are the fast carb, you need to know. Table sugar, sweet fruits, white pasta, white bread, white rice, fries and dessert are fast carb, while brown rice, wh...

Black Hawk Down

WAR for a common man is something that he/she gets to read in a newspaper every morning over their cup of tea/coffee. WAR for a politician is nothing but to formulate a new domestic or foreign policy. But what is WAR to the actual soldiers who are involved in it ??? Do they fight for a cause or do they die in vain ??? PLOT : " The film depicts the Battle of Mogadishu ,a raid by the United States' effort to capture Somali warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid " Black Hawk Down is based on the book of the same title by Mark Bowden ,there are some critizations from various quarters that the depiction of the battle was more biased towards only the sufferings & hardships that the US troops faced. But whatever might be the case the audience will never forget the fact that whatever country the troops represented they had fought not for their country but for the man standing next to him . Ridley Scott ,the man who gave us the epic " Gladiator (2000)" delive...

Hiss Movie Review

The movie which was supposed to be a kind of re-launch pad for Mallika Sherawat has finally hit the screens much to the delight of the front-benchers as they have lot to cheer about in the movie as their favorite sex symbol goes full monty in the movie. However, for others who look for something more than just skin show this movie is a real dampener. Director Jennifer Lynch has made a mockery of what could have been made as a decent movie. The primary aim of the director seems to have been riding on the sex-appeal of Mallika and to make matters worse the screenplay is as shoddy as it can get, the graphics are amateurish and finally the acting is no where to be even compared. It is a mystery how Mallika agreed to co-produce this movie and next is how come actors like Irrfan Khan and Divya Dutta decided to be a part of this debacle. The movie is about a greedy American (Jeff Doucette) coming to India in search of Naagin. In his search for the treasure he captures the mate which angers th...

Tips for filling fuel

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A 1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE. If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapours that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapour return....

Random Harvest

How often have we seen a famous novel being butchered when adapted to a full length motion picture ???? Then are comes a glimpse of hope that these adaptions sometimes do serve their purpose ,many novels have become international sensations when they are made into movies.Most times the movie doesn't follow the book faithfully but takes some cinematic liberties which enhances or spoils the essence of the book. And its the latter that prevails in most of the adaptations. PLOT : " A woman's quest to restore the memories of her amnesiac husband who doesn't even remember being married. " It was said that this novel was impossible to translate to a full length movie so to the creators made some changes to the script & dare i say that they have done an amazing job of it. Random Harvest is a 1942 film based on the 1941 James Hilton novel of the same name ,the novel follows the life of a war veteran who looses his memory ,falls in love & again regai...

Videocon launches Android at 12900 INR

Videocon has just launched an Android 2.1-based full-touch phone, the Zeus, and further extended its portfolio, by introducing four other phones as well. Providing full access to the Android Market, the Videocon Zeus (V7500) also comes with a whole bunch of preloaded applications as well as an 8GB microSD card, all at a rather attractive price of Rs. 12,900. At that price, you can't help but compare it to the LG Optimus GT540, another Android full-touch phone that was released just over a month ago, priced at Rs. 12,990. The GT540 currently however is based on Android 1.6, though it will support an upgrade to Android 2.1. The Zeus ships with 2.1, and is powered by a 600MHz Qualcomm processor. Other specifications include a 3.2-inch multi-touch screen, 5MP camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, A-GPS, and push mail. The other four phones have sketchy details, and no prices.   Story from Think Digit

Relieve yourself to run your car

We have been hearing about fuel cells for quite a long time and we know that cars running fuel cells (made of hydrogen) are already a reality. Now Chemistry World reports that the catalyst could not only fuel the hydrogen-powered cars of the future, but could also help clean up municipal wastewater. Gerardine Botte of Ohio University uses an electrolytic approach to produce hydrogen from urine - the most abundant waste on Earth - at a fraction of the cost of producing hydrogen from water. Urine's major constituent is urea, which incorporates four hydrogen atoms per molecule - importantly, less tightly bonded than the hydrogen atoms in water molecules. Botte uses electrolysis to break the molecule apart, developing an inexpensive new nickel-based electrode to selectively and efficiently oxidise the urea. To break the molecule down, a voltage of 0.37V needs to be applied across the cell - much less than the 1.23V needed to split water. Her work is described in ...

Apple to Launch iPhone in India

Apple is holding discussions with Reliance Communications and Tata Teleservices about bringing an iPhone using CDMA, or code division multiple access technology, to India, the newspaper said. An iPhone based on another mobile standard, GSM, or global system for mobile communications, is already available in India through the operators Bharti AirTel and Vodafone Essar, a unit of Vodafone Group. The report that a CDMA-based iPhone could be coming to India comes just days after the Journal said Apple plans to make a CDMA version of its iPhone that Verizon Wireless will begin selling early next year in the United States. AT&T, which uses GSM technology, has been the exclusive carrier of the iPhone in the United States since the touchscreen smartphone was launched in 2007. "Tata has been in talks with them (Apple) for four to five months now," the Journal quoted a "person familiar with the negotiations" as saying. The Journal said launching a CDMA phone in ...

Forrest Gump

More often than not we have the tendency to complain about everything or most things life throws at us.Whatever it might be , for example a promotion is a moment of joy but as time goes on we curse the grueling shifts & wonder as to why life's treating us so badly . Is this how we behave ,are we all the same ???? Do we overlook what life has given us all the time for the things we don't have ???? PLOT : " The chronicles of the life of Forrest Gump. " " The World will never be the same once you've seen it through the eyes of Forrest Gump " The above tagline was used for the movie's promotion ,these lines i should say were coined for perfectly that gelled very well with the film. Forrest Gump is a 1994 film based on the 1986 novel of the same name by Winston Groom ,the film is said to have to have many differences to the novel but this was one such film which truly captivated me such that thought of reading the novel has never yet occu...

Endhiran Movie Review

The costliest film ever made in Tamil cinema has finally seen the light of the day. The movie which has been in the making for close to three years is nothing short of a visual extravaganza. The only disappointment though is that in terms of story there is nothing great to boast off. This movie is definitely a landmark film in Tamil cinema but it is not the best Tamil film till date. The major talking point of the movie is the computer graphics that occupies the last 25 minutes of the film which leaves the audience in awe. The movie is not a trademark Rajnikanth's movie but it has the trademark of Shankar written all over it. The introduction scene of Rajnikant is subdued and the movie is sans any punch dialog from the superstar. The movie begins with Dr. Vaseegaran (Rajnikanth) giving final touches to his dream project of making a Robot so that it can serve in the Indian Army. The Robot is names as Chiti (Rajnikanth). When Vaseegaran tries to give a demo to the approving authoriti...

Precaution before helping…

Sad, especially if you are inclined to 'help' people... While driving on a rural end of the roadway on Thursday morning, I saw an infant car seat on the side of the road with a blanket draped over it.  For whatever reason, I did not stop, even though I had all kinds of thoughts running through my head.  But when I got to my destination, I called the  Police and they were going to check it out. But, this is what the Police advised even before they went out there to check.... "There are several things to be aware of ... gangs and thieves are now plotting different ways to get a person (mostly women)to stop their vehicle and get out of the car. "There is a gang initiation reported by the local Police  where  gangs are placing a car seat by the road...with a fake baby in it...waiting for a woman, of course, to stop and check on the abandoned baby.   "Note that the location of this car seat is usually beside a wood...
