Chicago, IL (ContentDesk) May 4, 2006 -- In the past, enduring a power outage was as simple as lighting a candle and starting the fireplace. Not anymore. Without electricity, basements can flood. Security systems can falter. Home businesses can fail.
"You don't realize how much you rely on electricity until it's gone," says Jon Hoch, founder of ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com(http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com) - an online generator superstore. Many homeowners are unable or unwilling to wait out the next power outage, so they are converting their portable generators into emergency backup power systems. "The key to picking the perfect generator," says Hoch, "is to pick the right style first, then pick the right wattage." Shop by Style (http://electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/shopbystyle.php)Recreational generators are great for tailgating or camping. A power outage, however, is no picnic. Small recreational models will only power an appliance or two.
Plus, you'll need to refill their small gas tanks every few hours. Unless your a contactor using your generator on a daily basis, you don't need to go overboard with a jobsite model with a professional grade engine either. "What's the point in purchasing a top-of-the-line portable generator with all the bells and whistles that's only used a few times a year?" asks Hoch. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com actually grades the style of every generator to help customers quickly find their perfect portable generator. Hoch recommends purchasing a residential-grade model specifically designed for "Emergency Power" and reinvesting the savings into a generator with additional wattage.
Shop by Watts (http://www.electricgeneratorsdirect.com/catalog/shopbywatts.php)Yes, you can calculate your exact wattage needs through various online wattage calculators, like the Home Wattage Wizard at PowerProtection.org. According to Hoch, the service is nice, but not always necessary. ElectricGeneratorsDirect.com has categorized their "Emergency Power" generators into three sizes: Mid-Sized,
Large and X-Large. Mid-sized portable generators (3,000-6,000 watts) will power your basic survival appliances, including your refrigerator, sump pump, furnace fan and several other appliances. Large portable generators (7,000-9,000 watts) will help make the power outage experience more peaceful, supplying power to even more appliance.
X-Large portable generators (10,000+ watts) supply enough electricity to restore power to small homes. Most include an electric starter, which is ideal for elderly homeowners who are unable to pull the cord. Electric Generators Direct is an online emergency generator superstore owned and operated by Power Equipment Direct, Inc. The company also maintains PressureWashersDirect.com(http://www.pressurewashersdirect.com) and AirCompressorsDirect.com (http://www.aircompressorsdirect.com)..

What is White Noise?
The best way to explain White Noise is to first look at why it has been given that name. White is used because of the way light works. White light is not an absence of color but is rather a combination of ALL colors. Going along with that same reasoning, White Noise is a combination of ALL frequencies of sound all playing at the same time.Because white noise is actually a combination of all frequencies it is most likely used as a sound blocker. It is typically used by those in loud city environments or with exceptionally noisy neighbors.Think of it this way.
If you are having a conversation with one person in an empty room you would have no problem understanding that person. Now imagine you are at Sunday family dinner and instead of that one person there are now 20 people around the table all talking at the some time. You would struggle to hear them all so you only pick up one or two voices. Now multiply that times 1,000. Suddenly you have a sea of people all talking at the same...

IFPA Tradeshow: Growers, Shippers, and Packers of Fresh Cut Produce Learn to Extend Shelf Life up to 50%
Baltimore, MD (ContentDesk via ContentDesk Direct) April 25, 2006 --At the IFPA Fresh Cut Expo, Selective Micro Technologies (Booths #724 and Bunzl booth #319) will demonstrate how to extend the shelf life of fresh cut produce by using the companys Selectrocide sanitizer, a chlorine-dioxide biocide.
Chlorine dioxide is one of the most effective inhibitors against spoilage microorganisms, including bacteria, yeast, mold and fungus, all of which cause fruits and vegetables to decay.
Selectrocide kills E-Coli and other pathogens at low concentrations and leaves virtually no taste residuals on food.
It also requires less rinsing than conventional biocides.Background Information on Chlorine Dioxide and Selectrocide"Chlorine dioxide is effective at low concentrations across a wide range of pH (roughly 4 to 10), and, because it is a gas in its natural state, dissipates upon exposure to sunlight.
As a result,...

Tips for Purchasing a Standby Generator
So you've decided that you don't want to be left in the dark if a hurricane or a tornado or other disaster hits your area.
You've decided to buy a standby generator.
Sounds simple enough.
But when you get to the store, you find a bewildering variety of generators, from a small 5.5 kilowatt model for around $2,000 to a 45 kilowatt monster for $25,000 or more.
How do you determine which one is right for you?
Of course, your budget will be a factor, but there are other factors that are equally important.
The first factor is whether you want a portable or stationary generator.
If you want a stationary one, where will you put it?
A generator's exhaust gas includes poisonous carbon monoxide, so it must be located outside, in a well ventilated area with plenty of space around it, and protected from the rain.
If you want a portable one,...
