There will be several new catagories of interest.
Not all the items are up yet, but soon.

Thanks for your interest.

Go to START >  Control Panel > Power Options > Power Schemes tab

There you can set the Hard Drive and Monitor turn off time, or spin down time if you will.

This will slow down file access and opening ‘My Computer’ if the drive you’re accessing has spun down. I only use this to quiet things down.  Would like to be able to have setting for each drive as I prefer to keep my drives running at all times (except the noisy ones).  Unless you’ve got a drive that gets hot, like the old ones liked to, I think you’re better off leaving them on.  I’ve seen data loss and crashes from allowing them to shut off or spin down, but not on XP though as I recall.  This being a Windows problem more than a HD problem I believe.  But if you leave your computer running all the time (like I do) but don’t use it that much or aren’t having it running something that accesses the drives all the time (like I do) then you may get more life out of your hard drives by letting them rest.  Just realize there will be lag time when you need them, so be patient.

As always, backup everything important regularly.  This applies to everything, not just your computer data. Protect and backup your important paperwork, photos and videos.  It’s ‘your’ life, no one else is going to do it.

If this was helpful to you, please let me know by dropping a comment.

The new format will enable me to arrange articles the way I want them, that’s the major reason that I haven’t added new articles.

We’ll have a seprate FlavorWave Oven section to better assist you in finding articles related to the Flavor Wave. Also a Projects section and more.

Stay tuned and keep checking back.

So we’re back to our UK syndrome after all, we have a place (VT) where firearms are outlawed and we find that only the outlaw was able to have the gun. No one on the school was LEGALLY able to have a gun to defend themselves.

So you tell me, here’s a tragic example of gun control in action, does gun control work?

I’m not as far off as you might think on this time travel thing. Stay with me. You see, that microwave radio transmitter you have in you kitchen might not be changing time for your food, but it very well my be changing time for YOU. Making your life end sooner! Not from the fact that it’s a dangerously high level of dangerous radio waves being transmitted in the near vicinity of your body (the FCC seems to have better regulations governing human proximity to that AM or FM radio station in your town than the one in your kitchen), no it’s what it’s doing to your food that you’re consuming that’s taking time from your existence.

A note on the microwave levels for those who think it’s no big deal … ask yourself why they have to put up notices for pacemaker patients in business where microwave ovens are in use?

The food death health issue I’m dealing with is that microwaveing food kills many vitamins. This is known. I believe it also alters things at the molecular level too. I’ve heard several times that plants will not live when watered with water that’s been microwaved (cooled back down of course).
If something as basic as water isn’t water anymore, then what’s happening inside that box, what dimension is your food going to? What is it doing then to all other foods?

Shall I continue on the female hormone estrogen that is given off from plastics when microwaved. You know, the plastic containers that you store your food in that goes straight into the microwave oven to be warmed up. Now THIS might be a health hazard, or perhaps this answers some unasked questions with female problems or our children in the last say 30 years, or on the increase of homosexuality in the same time frame.

No this isn’t a shameless plug for the FlavorWave Oven, it’s just facts. I’ve also found there’s a NuWave Oven available that’s very similar to the Flavor Wave Oven. These are both convection ovens, and most likely advertise on this site. They cook with something called heat, not radio transmissions. Check out heat, it’s has been in use for about 6,000 years. Pretty safe stuff as far as cooking goes.

Here’s some links to articles I’ve come across, you read, you decide.

Microwave oven, The Hidden Hazards

The Hidden Hazards of Microwave Cooking

A Windows Vista computer is completely unsuitable for any critical application because it can be degraded and/or disabled by any number of events, deliberately by Microsoft, by malicious software, or even by power fluctuations and similar events.

Or better yet, Linux. Or buy a Mac. Take a look at these articles.

Windows Vista – Broken by Design
Vista – Arrogance & Stupidity

One thing I think it should have (maybe the new ones do) is a lower ring that has air holes in it, for when you’re cooking things with lots of water in them, so it can dehumidify and cook them faster. Thou the complaint might be you’d risk a better chance of drying out your food then, but some foods need dried out. Just a thought, I’m not a cook.

It seems since I wrote that I found they did make a lower ring with holes, stainless steel none the less . My brother dug it up for me, as I’ve stated earlier, this FlavorWave Oven was bought by my Mum so I didn’t know what came with it.
So a screened ring was included, nice. Also a special pan for baking cakes in that has a special side release ring. I haven’t tried this one yet.

I (as an industrial microcontroller designer/programmer) would have designed the timer to run the fan a while after the heat cycle timed out, to cool the hot heating coil that sits close to the fan, and give the fan some extra life.

Perhaps now they make the timer so you can program to come on at a preset time and run for a preset time, like a simple bread machine or coffee machine does. If not, then they should have. Next time maybe. Better to use a multi stage timer then, so you CAN cook a chicken and have it finish when you come home, without it poisoning you. (Simple to do with a microcontroller).

Well, just some thoughts. I’ve got a better review coming up, and pictures.

Now they make the “Culinary Award winning Flavorwave Deluxe Oven.” But I digress… to take a look at my antique, that’s still running fine. Stay tuned for that look in my next post.

After burning almost everything I put my hands to, (*keep that fire alarm plugged in*). I’ve got too many things to do, so I’m always multi-tasking, and when I cook I run off to do other things … but then I forget I was cooking … and … opps, toast again.

Today I found hiding in a closet, like are many thing that Mom bought and never got around to using, or bought for backups, (she has enough Christmas gifts stashed away for years to come), I found a “Flavor Wave Oven”. It’s a convection oven, the first model no doubt (#20007). This oven has a TIMER on it, *joy*, that’s what I need. Something to stop the burning process that I begun and forgot about.

But I found no manual for it, and wasn’t sure if I was operating it correctly. Naturally I can push enough buttons to figure anything out, but how they though it would be operated and how I’m deciphering it, might be separate realities. So I looks for a manual in the great ether of knowledge, and Shazzam, I find Thane who now markets it. Mine was made by Hearthware (TM) Home Products, but remember mine is the original *lightning , thunder, echo* “Flavor Wave Oven”. (Oven, not Onion, I keep wanting to say onion. I must still be hungry)

I found the Thane site here. And they actually have their manuals available for download here.

So now I’ve found a great Oven to do my burning for me I can set it and if I forget, it shuts down, unlike my stove and oven. I really like convection ovens anyway. I hate microwaves, I don’t use them! Microwaves are for radio communications, not for mounting in your kitchen. Dangerous on your health, and on your food. Try watering a plant from microwaved water (cooled back down of course) and see if it lives.

Perhaps I’ll let you know how this all works out, Cheers.

Let the flames begin.

Jeff Rense is on the edge sometimes, but probably more on the right side then he looks — http://www.rense.com/

Alex Jones and his InfoWars and PrisonPlanet is on the cutting edge, this is a must see, visit it often. This site I will endorse — http://www.infowars.com/ & http://prisonplanet.com/
