Keeping Wine Fresh?

I'm a bachelor and it takes me way too long to finish 750ml and even longer 1.5L. By the end of the week its pretty acidic.

I bought a four pack of those mini screw top bottles. After I drink them, I'm going to refill them with 750ml bottle. My assumption is that it will keep the air out. With a larger bottle as you drink more air is let into the bottle. So do you think this will work?
thx for all the answers. I don't refrigerate, because I don't like what it does to the taste of red wine even though I've heard it lasts longer.

I'll also have to try that cork thing too. good point about the spillage. I think I'll pour first into a measuring cup or get a funnel.

I usually have one glass with dinner after work, just to enjoy and take the edge off. If it was a party I could finish a bottle myself.

yes, that will work. the wine fills the bottle, displacing any air.

Benefits of Hepa Air Purifiers

Contrary to what you may have heard, not all air purifiers are created equal. While most air purifier designs vary little, the look of a purifier is not nearly as important as the filter contained within it. A HEPA air purifier benefits you by lasting longer and capturing more pollutants than any of its competitors.

The secret is in the technology. HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Arresting) air purifiers, created by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission, are advanced enough to capture even the minutest particles (down to .3 microns), including bacteria. When HEPA purifiers are combined with military activated carbon cloth, even chemicals and odors cannot escape. These purifiers use the same technology as hospital filters. Vapors and gases, undetected by most other air purifiers, are caught and held by HEPA air filters. The benefit is incredibly pure air. Chronic allergy and asthma are alleviated because the filters trap allergy and asthma triggers such as pollen, dander, mold, mildew, dust mites, and chemicals smells associated with common household products such as detergent, soap, and cleaning solutions.

HEPA purifiers can be installed directly into your heating and air conditioning systems, but should you sell your home, it would be difficult if not impossible to take the unit with you; and would be unlikely to be able to adapt in your next home's heating and cooling system. The advantage to the portable HEPA's is that they are relatively light-weight, and can travel easily, whether from one room to another in your home, or with you to a hotel room or condo for vacation. The portable units guarantee that the air you breathe will be free of pollutants wherever you are.

Just as with other household appliances, most HEPA air purifiers are offered in an assortment of colors and styles that will compliment most any decor. And the best part is that you just plug it in and breathe!

Take good care,

The Lessons That Must be Learnt From Whitehaven's Digital Switchover

Whitehaven in Cumbria, North West England today (17 October 2007) became the first town in England to have its analogue television signal switched off.

At 0200 British Summer Time the BBC2 analogue signal was switched off. The other analogue channels will be switched off on 14 November.

Whitehaven is being closely watched. The process being followed here is the model for the digital switchover to be followed by the rest of the UK between 2008 and 2012.

The selection of Whitehaven as the first English town was announced in June 2006. Since then there has been an intense programme of public information including letters to every household, public briefings, posters, radio and TV commercials and information drop in points.

Despite this massive public information and media campaign, Digital UK, the organisation responsible for managing the digital switch over, can only say that they think "that probably 90% of homes in Whitehaven are ready for the change". With 25,000 householders in the area that still leaves 2,500 that will be unable to access any television channels. It seems breathtaking that Digital UK can only say that "probably 90%" will be ready particularly when Ofcom report that almost 85% of all households in the UK can already receive digital television. Television is now a part of the fabric of our society. Such a major, centrally imposed change demands very tight scrutiny and control.

Judging by reports in the Sunday Times and the Mail on Sunday, most Whitehaven residents welcome the change. They look forward to the greater flexibility and programming options that digital provides. Most question the cost - "If the government are going to make billions selling off the airwaves why can't they do more to help pay for the transition?"

Good Question.

We think these concerns will only increase as many people have still to upgrade secondary televisons and video or DVD recorders.

A particular shock for many homes will be the loss of many portable televisions. Most portables are used in kitchens and bedrooms and get their signal through the attached aerial. Digital requires a much stronger signal. Indoor aerials do not receive sufficient signal for use with set top boxes so all portables potentially need connected to roof mounted antennae. The alternative is to buy, not only the obligatory set-top box for every tv and recorder, but also a powered signal boosting aerial with built in siganl amplifier.

Nevertheless, for the majority of households in Whitehaven the digital switch over seems to be going smoothly. Residents welcome the greater range of viewing choice and interactive options that digital television brings. For the 10% or so still to upgrade there is still time. The local electrical retailers and aerial erectors will be rubbing their hands with glee.

Air-Purifiers - Breathe Easy In Fresh Air

Air- purifiers are devices that clean and filter the air. It helps in air-purification by freeing the air from all types of pollutants and contaminants. Air-purifiers are beneficial for people with asthma as the allergy inducing particles like dust; pollen and mold spores do not get released into the air. Air purifiers are basically used in the hospitals, work sites and homes to protect people against suffering from pollen, pet dander, tobacco smoke, dust mites, viruses, molds, bacteria and a huge amount of industrial and household chemicals.

Components of air-purifiers

The air-purifiers use a number of technological approaches to clean the air so that you can breathe easily. The different components of air-purifiers include electrostatic filters, ozone generators, HEPA [High efficiency Particulate Air] filters, ion generators, ultraviolet light and various other modern methods to get rid of both large and miniscule particles. The air-purifiers work in several ways. They either operate by drawing in air via a fan, cleaning the air and then re-releasing it again. Or they work by actually sending out "purifying agents" throughout the room.

Types of air purifiers and their benefits

Different air purifiers make use of different air purification techniques like mechanical filters, electrostatic charges or ionizers and adsorbents like charcoal. Often the additional setups in the air-purifiers include germicidal UV light and the emission of ions into the air to react with contaminants, making them harmless enough to breathe.

However following are the different types and benefits of air-purifiers:

§ HEPA air cleaners - use very thin, paper like material to filter out almost 99% of dust particles and are the best way to clean the rooms from the dangerous airborne particles that can cause allergies.

§ UV light air cleaners - also known as ultraviolet air purifiers, they can effectively neutralize microorganisms like germs, viruses, molds and bacteria from the air. These purifiers work with emissions of light and breaking organic molecular bonds of germs and viruses. However activated carbon air filters are the best way to clean air infected with allergens, smoke particles and odors.

§ Electrostatic air-filters - these purifiers clean your whole house by purifying the air in your home or in office. They work by filtering almost 98% of the dangerous pollutants from the air that passes through your cooling and heating system in your house and office. These purifiers contain an electronic filtration machine that cleans dust, cigarette smokes, smog dust particles and spores of mold.

§Ozone air purifier systems - they are designed to clean all types of unwanted and stale odors from your home. More than cleaning allergens or chemicals, these are ideally used for irritating odors and getting rid of them.

§ Ionic air purifiers - these are one of the best purifiers as they help you to get rid off very fine dust particles. They purify the indoor air by negatively charging the polluted and allergen air. When this negatively-charged polluted indoor air passes through the ionizer, the allergens gets gravitated to the negatively-charged metal collection plates in the air purification machine and sticks to the plate. This clears the air perfectly.

§ Carbon air filters - if you want to clear the air off chemicals, gases, cigarette smokes and other odors, then activated carbon air-purifiers are your best option.

Purchase an air-purifier to make the air fresh, create a healthy environment and breathe with relief.

Answer Your Doorbell With Your Mobile Phone While You Are Not At home

Witura Corporation, the designers and manufacturers of a suite of GSM Telecommunications products, today introduced the GSM Intercom & Access Control, a new and revolutionary product aimed at giving emerging businesses high quality and uncompromising services, provides an infallible and cost-effective solution.

Since its initial market launch in April 2009, the WT-9002 GSM Intercom & Access Control has seen a broad market penetration and is approved by many customers with diverse challenging needs and innovative requirements. These versatile ready-to-use gadgets offer total solutions to users to gain a competitive edge in the crowded marketplace.

"This is a cutting edge product far superior to anything in the marketplace," said KC Chin, the President of Witura Corporation. "We expect tremendous sales of this product."

The WT-9002 is a clever application of mobile phone technology which forms part of a gate automation system that allows you to open your gate with your mobile phone regardless of whether you are home or not. It has a wireless intercom in front of your gate that includes a speaker, a microphone and a "Call" push button. When the "Call" push button is pressed by a visitor, the system will call the owner's phone number automatically via the GSM /UMTS network allowing him to speak to the visitor in spite of the location of the telephone being called. Communicate and allow entry from anywhere in the world as there is no limitation on the distance as to how far the system works. No longer let visitors realize you are out or away as every time the Intercom button is pressed a call is made to your mobile. Should the visitor require access to your property when you are not there, opening the door or gates is a simple matter of adding a number into your phone.

The GSM intercom is also linked to an electronic door release, allowing the owner to unlock the front door from the mobile phone keypad, using a password. Should the owner wish to allow entry to the visitor, he merely needs to enter the password on his cellular phone and the visitor is granted access to the premises! The system can call up to 3 mobile phone or land line numbers in the order they were programmed into the system. When the homeowner is at home and doesn't need the GSM mobile functionality, the GSM doorbell can be switched to normal doorbell mode with a single key push.

Another additional feature of the WT- 9002 is its capability to allow up to 1000 registered users to open any garage door or gate with their cellular phone or landline phone …. and all this at ABSOLUTELY NO COST OF A CALL TO  THE USER!. If any of these users call the system, it will reject the call and open the gate without any cost of call. However, if the incoming call is not from a registered user, the door will never open. Absolutely foolproof! No hassle. In addition to the cost effective measure, the WT-9002 also comes with 2 inputs which can be connected to motion sensors or magnetic sensors, to smoke detectors, door and window sensors and in the event of any intrusion or break-in, the alarm system will be triggered off and a warning text message will be sent out to 3 cellular phones. Deter possible burglary or break-in attempts by answering your doorbell and giving the impression that you are home when in reality you're not!

The WT-9002 GSM Intercom & Access Control System™ combines a comprehensive package, fully meeting all specifications and resulting in a cost-efficient solution to the state of the art. The product will be of tremendous value to entrepreneurs and commercial users. This is a big benefit in industrial, urban or civilized areas with the ever growing need for such state-of-the-art technology. For example, a  practical everyday benefit is having your children come home  unexpectedly early from school and being unable to let them in without having to rush home and physically opening the door or missing a courier delivery which requires signing for. By a direct voice connection to the courier, alternative delivery instructions such as a different address to deliver can be communicated or simply to instruct delivery on another day when you will definitely be home.

A regional health authority in Europe has put the Witura GSM Intercom to good use by giving nurses the opportunity to respond more quickly to calls from home patients without first having to drive to a central key-holding depot to collect a front door key. In this manner, when a nurse arrives at a patient's front door and presses the GSM doorbell, the call is taken by the regional call centre, and the operator will be able to open the door. This approach saves time which is crucial in responding to emergency calls from house-bound patients especially in life and death circumstances.  

Mr Chin added: "As part of our range, the WT - 9002 will enjoy a presence in markets worldwide. What's more, our customers trust in our global spread of highly innovative products, which are governed by a strict, uniform quality standard that surpasses regional regulations. We ensure complete reliability and durability.

...... It's this commitment to quality that gives our customers supreme products and peace of mind."

Our marketing and sales staffs, together with our research and production teams, both in China and Malaysia, are committed to providing outstanding products and services to support customers in applying new materials and technologies such as these."

Truth About The Ionic Pro Air Purifier

When you are a first time buyer of an Air Purifier, it's almost certain you have heard of or seen an image of an Ionic pro air purifier or something like it. These types of purifiers are extremely popular and sell very well. However, their performance is not what it could be compared to similar products. So why do they sell well? Easy, they have excellent marketing. They look very attractive and sleek, and are sold as something that looks good in your home. In reality, how well does the average person understand an air purifier? I myself had to do quite a bit or research to even understand how they worked.

The main problem with these types of purifiers is the ozone they produce. For whatever reason it is not that well known that the ozone that is produced is a known Lung irritant, which can be a bad combination for anyone with an asthma type condition. The ozone builds up in the room fairly quickly and if it is poorly ventilated the amount will go past what is the recommended exposure.

Another draw-back of an Ionic Pro Air Purifier is the electrostatic charge it uses; this will make dust stick to walls and other surfaces, thus making your room even dirtier. Consumer Reports has voiced their opinion quite a bit on these purifiers, basically saying they are no good with the ozone and that they don't circulate the air well enough. You can also find reviews of people who have purchased these before at online stores and see the similar trend of negative reviews. An alternative to these is a good HEPA purifier. They have a good reputation and don't produce anything that would be harmful.

For more information on the subject and some good HEPA style filtration options, check out Indoor Air Purifier Review.

The Benefits Of Having Home Security Cameras

There are many things you can do to improve the safety of your home. Having home security cameras is one such important step. Cameras are not just for burglaries--though this is often their chief use--but rather for many small problems one would never think that cameras could solve.

If your house is under camera surveillance, do not hide the fact. Tell everyone you know--but do not tell them where the cameras are. And by putting signs in your window, you may stop a crime from happening. Many burglars will turn away from your house and focus on a target that provides less risk to themselves. You may be able to put some people behind bars too, people who would have gone into other houses and never been caught if it were not for you.

You would be amazed at how convenient the cameras can make it for you, too. Very intense systems allow you to be able to see your house wherever you are, provided you always have a web enabled cell phone with Internet connection. You will be alerted if the motion is detected in your home; you will then log onto a secure site via your phone where you can see real-time footage from your home cameras.

You can watch over your house and the people in it. If you leave someone at home and they have health problems, you can check in on their safety. It also means you can be alerted about fires or any other sort of damage that would trigger a motion detector.

Privacy is a great concern for many people, and this is why they have avoided getting cameras. Cameras can be turned off when you wish. It is just important to let everyone in the house know that you have them installed. The professional who installs the camera will place it for optimum privacy to you and your neighbors while focusing on danger areas of your house.

The equipment can fall under any price range and any level of convenience and security. It all depends upon your personal situation. One excellent camera system that is relatively inexpensive is bullet cameras. They are little tube cameras often used on the outside of houses, hidden under the eaves. They are subtle and not easily seen, especially at night. Though they can not see in very low light situations, they can give a boost to your home safety. It is certainly better than nothing and worth the price.

Infrared cameras are on the higher end of this equipment. Typical infrared security cameras are equipped with an array of IR illuminators for night viewing. During the day you will see a color picture but at night these cameras switch to B/W to provide surveillance even in complete darkness. The distance you can see in complete darkness will depend on the number and size of the infrared LEDs used.

Mini-security cameras are the last subtle piece of equipment. They can be much smaller than bullet cameras and can therefore be far more easily hidden. These are often placed inside instead of out, since they are not weatherproof on their own as are most bullet and infrared cameras. They can be hidden into other objects and therefore not seen as a camera.

Anigmo Dimmer and Dimmer Switch: Beauty and Function

In most homes, light switches are of the traditional type. A push-button switch is preferred for its old world appeal; a toggle switch is desired for its durability but the loud clicks can be disconcerting; a rocker switch is favored for its large paddle but the cover plates design are limited; a mercury switch is ideal for its silence but there is a toxic risk. Most homes too have round knobs that function as a dimmer switch, which you turn in either direction to darken or brighten light. This type of dimmer can be a hassle to operate; in the dark, you have to grope for the dimmer switch (which is easier said than done when you have your hands full), then you turn it on only to realize that you might have set it too bright or too dim. This dimmer requires constant adjustment since it does not retain its old settings when you turn it off completely. And with the limited designs available on a round dimmer switch, personal touch is out of the question.

Fortunately, there is Anigmo, an international company with headquarters in New York and manufacturing facilities in Europe, staffed with professional engineers and committed to improving life through sound engineering. Anigmo has a complete line of dimmer products that will suit discriminating design tastes and technical requirements. An Anigmo dimmer comes in 28 pre-designed wall plate covers in ceramic, glass, wood, stone, photo and miscellaneous materials. You can use these Anigmo designs or create one of your own designs using any non-conducive material. With Anigmo’s unique adapter, you can then attach your distinctive wall plate to the dimmer switch. With this unique style feature, your wall plate can become a piece of art on your wall and a thing of beauty that complements your home décor while giving you the convenience of electronic dimmer switch technology.

For example, you can have the Calligraphy ceramic plate to complete the Oriental look of your bedroom; or you can use the Simple Blue glass plate to complement your blue-toned bedroom; or you can use the Smooth Walnut wood plate for your kitchen; or you can put pictures on the wall plate to serve as wall decors; or you can make it look anyway you want just make sure that the wall plate cover is only ¾ inches thick (any thicker and the function is affected). Indeed, with an Anigmo dimmer, the style choices are endless and limited only by your imagination and design flair.

With the Anigmo dimmer switch, you do not have to deal with unwieldy toggle and rocker switches. You just pass your hand to within an inch of the dimmer switch or just tap the plate; the lights will turn on and off. You just hold your hand over the plate to activate the dimmer, until you achieve the desired brightness or dimness. The best thing about the Anigmo dimmer switch is its capacity to remember your last brightness setting even if you have completely turned off the unit. This is more convenient than the traditional round dimmer switch.

Installing Your Own Cctv System

CCTV systems are now been used in an increasing amount of domestic properties. Domestic CCTV systems offer the house holder an extra level of security and many CCTV installations are now been installed by the end user. Many home owners are buying professional DIY CCTV kits or CCTV packages and cutting out the CCTV installation companies, this often means you can install much better quality components for half the price of what you would pay for an installed system.

Installing your own CCTV system is straight forward and can be done in a number of ways. The easiest method is to use ready made RG59 cables that carry the cameras power and video signal to a CCTV DVR, which in turn is connected to your TV via a BNC to Scart connector. A CCTV DVR will allow you to record more than one camera’s images at the same time directly to an internal hard disk, while adding the time and date. The type of DVR you select for your installation will depend on the number of cameras you require or may need in the future, as standard they range form 4-16 cameras. CCTV DVR’s allow you create a split screen so you can see multiple cameras at once or you can just select the camera you are interested in. If you want the feature to connect your DVR to the Internet to allow remote viewing this too is possible. Configuring your DVR to allow you to see your property across the internet is becoming extremely popular and requires a little IT knowledge to configure the Router, Firewalls and your DVR.

Selecting the type of CCTV camera depends on your budget and the quality you desire. An external camera will have an Infra Red distance, this is the maximum the camera could see in darkness, bare in mind that the rating means there and back as the Infra Red has to reflect back to the camera for the image to be visible. Also its worth noting that IR Cameras don’t work too well if they are just pointing at grass, trees or bushes are these are very absorbent. Cheaper cameras usually have a fixed lens, these are the easiest to install but don’t offer the flexibility of a vari-focal lens camera that allows you to change the focal length. A CCTV cameras resolution is measured in TV lines ie a camera with a 540 TVL sensor will generally have a higher resolution that a camera with a 400TVL CCD image sensor. Although the quality of a CCTV camera depends on more that just the TVL rating, the lens, circuitry and build quality can be more determental. Also the best cameras at night use whats called an ICR filter, this is other wise know as a True Day Night Camera and these cctv cameras generally offer up to a 30% increase in image at night compared to non ICR cameras. Buy your cameras with care from a reputable dedicated CCTV supplier as the quality can vary enormously.

To install a system in your own home firstly work out where you would like to put the cameras and how far these points are from the likely location of the Cctv Dvr Recorder, work our how much cable you will need before you purchase your CCTV Kit to ensure you will have enough to reach your desired location. You will need a drill with a long drill bit, some ladders and just a little common sense!

CCTV Systems For Electronic Surveillance

The use for electronic surveillance is ideally recommended for business men  or even home owners who want to keep an eye on things that are happening in or around the place of business or at home. It helps to keep tab on people whom you want monitored for any reason whatever it might be.

The knowledge that they are being watched all the time prevent employees in a business establishment to be always on their toe or prevents them from behaving unscrupulously when they think they are alone.

This can be achieved by installing cameras in specific places within the building where the business is conducted. The images captured by the camera would be transmitted via a secure link to monitors where security personnel can monitor the feed for identifying possible undesirable behavior or threats to security.

Various uses of CCTV Systems

Home owners usually have the CCTV systems installed so that they can have added protection. It allows them to see what is happening outside their four walls without actually having to venture out and take the risk of being exposed to possible harm.

CCTV systems are widely used in departmental stores where the goods are kept open for customers to pick from, which might lead to temptation and possible pilfering of certain items. CCTV systems help identify and diffuse situations where a customer might steal some goods and feign innocence when caught. It gives the shop owner the proof to implicate the thief.

They are also used in casinos and gambling centers where tricksters and con artists could employ sleight of hand or other common tricks to strike it rich. In areas where security is high priority, such as airports and train stations or within secured perimeters of military bases etc, the CCTV systems are used to identify possible threats to security like terrorist infiltration or possible hijackers.

Home users find it useful not only as a security measure but also to keep an eye on philandering spouses who like to have a little fun behind their partners back. The main highlight of having CCTV systems installed is that they catch the perpetrators red handed without them being aware. It also prevents those who are aware from committing a crime. Unlike the regular feeds on television CCTV systems use secure transmission that allows only for limited viewing on a set number of monitors or for recording.

These cameras also find uses in those areas where humans can’t possibly venture like high temperature or pressure environments or where elements that are hazardous to human beings are active. An example is controlled testing environment for testing nuclear activity or where nuclear radiation might be experienced.

There are motion detection CCTV systems that start operation upon being triggered by a movement. There are also systems that allow for night time monitoring and have night vision cameras as part of the system.

Excellent deals on purchase of Closed circuit cameras are available on alwayslocksmith.co.uk. They also provide installation services which ensure that everything is spick and span and functions properly.
