Aka rpi2 is an inexpensive and popular device platform for the armv7h ARM architecture.Archlinux ARM on Rpi2
Have you had an Archlinux ARM question, typed it into Google and didn't find an answer?
Perhaps you found the answer later. Either way, do let me know at hendry AT iki.fi and I'll add it to the site source.
Not specifically for Arm on Archlinux, though https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Raspberry_Pi is a good start since much of the excellent Archlinux wiki applies to the rpi.
User name
root and password
Note that you really should disable ssh logins with that default:
grep ^PasswordAuthentication /etc/ssh/sshd_config
PasswordAuthentication no
pacman -Syu
pacman -Ss $packagename
Refer to pacman reference for more examples.
Setup your terminal to upload your console to share the output.
curl http://archpi.dabase.com/tmux.conf > ~/.tmux.conf
tmux. If it's not installed, installed it
pacman -S tmux.
Now using tmux's default prefix of
ctrl+b and the letter
p, will upload your console to be shared.
To learn more about what tmux can do, have a look at its default key binds with
tmux lsk.
See http://pi.dabase.com/ for such a service.
No there isn't, however there is an annoying phpBB forum though.
wifi-menu/netctl is the old way and I would encourage you not to use it, though I am biased.
Sadly you need to
pacman -Syu wpa_supplicant since it's not on the default
install image. I do this by temporarily wiring my rpi via the ethernet port.
systemctl start wpa_supplicant@wlan0 will fail without a config as you can see from
systemctl status wpa_supplicant@wlan0 output.
# cat <<EOF > /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf
And hopefully
systemctl start wpa_supplicant@wlan0 will now work.
wpa_cli to add a network. The user interface is unfortunately pretty awful.
Note you need to quote the essid and psk else it might fail:
set_network 0 ssid "MYSSID"
set_network 0 psk "passphrase"
enable_network 0
Obviously check
/etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlan0.conf is looking correct.
See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/WPA_supplicant for details. Once
systemctl enable wpa_supplicant@wlan0 to make sure it associates with
wireless on boot.
Finally you need to setup
systemd-networkd for DHCP functionality like so:
$cat /etc/systemd/network/any.network
And of course, enable it.
systemctl enable systemd-networkd
Reboot to see if you device comes up online correctly!
pacman -Sy wiringpi and
watch -n 0.5 gpio readall
See this video a friend made of my living room light.
Here is the systemd file that controls it:
[root@rpi2 ~]# cat /etc/systemd/system/motionlight.service
Description=Turns light on thanks to motion
# Step 1: We invoke a shell to setup the GPIO and if motion is not detected, turn it off
ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/gpio mode 0 out && test $(/usr/bin/gpio read 7) -eq 0 && /usr/bin/gpio write 0 1'
# Step 2: If motion is detected, turn on the light
ExecStart=/usr/bin/bash -c '/usr/bin/gpio wfi 7 rising && /usr/bin/gpio write 0 0'
# Go to Step 1 after 5 minutes
Rpi userland is packaged as raspberrypi-firmware-tools.
# pacman -Ql raspberrypi-firmware-tools | grep bin/raspi
raspberrypi-firmware-tools /opt/vc/bin/raspistill
raspberrypi-firmware-tools /opt/vc/bin/raspivid
raspberrypi-firmware-tools /opt/vc/bin/raspiyuv
If you get:

WHAT'S THIS? Ernie Salomon was in a rage, as usual. Whenever he sniffs the ugly scent of rank injustice, he lets loose on his Santa Barbara TV talk show.
"This will happen here!" Ernie warned after an L.A. Superior Court judge cancelled Palmdale's November 5 election.
Judge Mark V. Mooney slammed the windblown high-desert town, calling its at-large system of voting unconstitutional because it makes it virtually impossible for minority City Council candidates to get elected. He nixed the November election and banned another until the city installs district-by-district votes.

How Appy Couple Works
Getting started with Appy Couple is a painless process. You start by choosing a design for your website, app, and digital stationery then you enter the desired information (stories about and pictures of the couple, key people, event and travel data, your registry, etc.). After that, you enter your guest list and send out invitations either by including your Appy information on printed versions or sending digital invitations via Appy email. Your guests will be able to browse and RSVP via visiting your website or downloading your app. Depending on your privacy settings, guests can only enter your site or view event information if they have your wedding code or match what's on your guest list. You will be notified each time someone responds to the RSVP, and you can send out additional reminders as well.
Appy Couple Templates
Depending on which pricing plan you select, you can choose from Appy Couple's selection of themes. The lower paid tier allows you access to the Boutique Collection of templates, which is quite exhaustive (over 500); the higher paid tier adds options from the Luxury Collection, which includes limited edition designs created by designers like Carolina Herrera.
You can change designs at any point in time by simply selecting a new template. My wife and I had a great time browsing through all of the options which included plain colors, patterns, floral designs, vintage designs, and even overlays of maps (New York, London, etc). Designs are applied to your website, your app, and email templates. All of our guests commented on how nice the website and app looked.
Appy Couple Features
Appy Couple is an exceedingly simple wedding website builder to use. That being said, it comes with a fairly complete list of features.
- Web-based Editor. You can access your editor from your phone or computer – wherever you are. The editor is your home base where you manage the entire system.
- Sharing Information. The website has dedicated areas to upload important and fun pieces of information including:
- Stories (e.g. how you met, how you got engaged, etc.)
- Pictures
- Key People (bridal party, best man and maid of honor, parents, siblings, etc.) with pictures and stories
- Events (reception, ceremony, bachelor and bachelorette parties, and anything else) that you can set to be only visible invited guests
- Travel information
- Registries (Appy Couple interfaces with most major wedding registries) directly accessible from your website
- Guest List & RSVP Management. One of Appy Couple's nicest features; this is reviewed in detail in the next section.
- Photo & Video Gallery. You can add photos and videos of yourselves as well as the event and share them with everyone. The nice thing about Appy Couple is that once you pay for it, you have it forever. In addition to before the wedding, we used the website afterwards to show everyone our pictures as well as to get everybody else's pictures.
- E-mail. Beyond the invites, Appy Couple allows you to send out reminders, updates, and even address collection e-mails before it all gets started.
- Sections Just For Fun. Appy Couple allows you to a countdown clock to build excitement, a Guest Book to receive notes from loves ones, and on the app, a section for virtual champagne toasts!
Guest Lists, Invites, and the RSVP System
One of the nicest aspects of Appy Couple is its guest management system. Most weddings consist of multiple events leading up to and following the actual 'I Do'. Appy lets you invite guests to specific activities rather than just one generic wedding invite. The first thing you do is add your guests. You can add their contact information manually or upload by filling out Appy's CSV file template if you want to copy your list from somewhere else. The system for this is easy and intuitive. From there you can add plus ones, create groups and select which guests you'd like to invite to private events.
Pro Tip!
When adding plus ones, add the guest and then just mark how many plus ones they have. When the guest RSVPs, they will put in all of their plus ones' information. This isn't so intuitive but is a great addition as you won't need to track down all of your friends' latest significant others.
Once you have uploaded your guest list, you can arrange families and groups. Appy will pull out a guest count of how many people are invited to each separate event.
Inviting guests is as easy as the rest of it. In Appy Couple's "Email Guests" area, you choose what type of message you want to send, fill out the message, mark which guests you want to send it to, and hit send. Appy Couple is not an e-mail system at its core so your customization options are a little limited here, but it's more than enough for what most people will need. Once you have sent messages, you will be able to see how many have been sent, how many have been received, and even how many have been opened.
Real-Time Notifications and Informative RSVP Responses
Guests RSVP through the website to individual events, say a rehearsal dinner versus the reception, so a guest might accept one event but decline another. If you have the app, you will get real-time notifications every time someone RSVP's (which I admit is a little nerve-wracking!). Otherwise, you can log in to your dashboard to see who has RSVP'd which way. Later, you can send emails to groups of people based on who has accepted, declined, or not responded.
You can also add additional questions that guests can answer when they RSVP, which can be useful for getting information about meal choices (especially for vegetarians or people with food allergies). All of that information is saved and can be downloaded into spreadsheets.
Appy Couple Pricing
Appy Couple has two pricing plans based on your access to designs: the "Boutique Collection" and "Luxury Collection". The Boutique Collection is a $39 one-time fee and the Luxury Collection is a $89 one-time fee. These prices are low compared to competitors, and extremely low compared to designing, printing, and mailing real invites.
What's the Verdict on Appy Couple?
Appy Couple Review 2018 – Conclusion
In conclusion, Appy Couple is a pleasure to use and a major money-saver. It has a few cons but they are more small kinks in the system than anything major and we are confident that the platform will only improve with time. It wouldn't surprise us in the slightest to see more and more people moving to a system like this for managing their wedding.

When Pat Santeramo, former president of the Broward Teachers Union, was arrested for allegedly bilking approximately $300,000 of the organization's funds through contractor kickbacks, a judge granted him bond of $480,000.
But before he can post that sum and be released, Santeramo must prove that the money he uses isn't tainted.
In a two-hour hearing Thursday evening, Santeramo's attorney took pains to show his client's funds were clean. After hearing testimony and arguments, Circuit Judge Carlos Rebollo took the issue under consideration before issuing a ruling.
Santeramo, 64, turned himself in at the Broward County Jail on Tuesday, charged with 20 mostly felony counts, including grand theft, money laundering, fraud and racketeering. Between 2001 and 2012, investigators with the Broward Sheriff's Office and Broward State Attorney's Office said, he collected $165,000 in kickbacks from BTU and another $121,848 in false sick and vacation time.
David Esposito, of Marstan Construction of Coral Springs, told investigators that in more than 30 instances from 2006 through 2011 he submitted inflated invoices to the union for work such as changing light bulbs, dyeing carpets and exterminating ants. He then paid cash back to Santeramo in amounts ranging from $1,000 to $20,000.
Esposito was given immunity from prosecution in return for his information, Assistant State Attorney Adriana Alcalde-Padron said.
Circuit Judge Ilona Holmes set a bond of $480,000 for Santeramo, who faces at least 30 years if convicted.
But before bond could be granted, Santeramo's attorney, Benedict Kuehne of Miami, had to prove that $48,000 — the 10 percent premium his client must pay —didn't come from ill-gotten gains. Santeramo and his wife, Lynne Webb, president of the Pasco County school employees union, would pay the bond money from legitimate sources, he argued.

Miley Cyrus has added a new member to her family after adopting a new dog.
The Wrecking Ball star, who is an avid animal rights activist, has taken in many dogs in the past and now she has added a beagle named Barbie to her pack.
"Happy to introduce the newest member of my family Barbie @beaglefreedom #stopanimaltesting #donttestonbeagles," she wrote on Instagram.com.
"Sisterzzzz!!!! Barbie (loves) Tani!!!! @beaglefreedom #stopbeagletesting #loveanimalsdontharmthem," she added alongside a picture of Barbie and another of her pet pooches.
The 23-year-old also posted a picture of cleaning products in her house which aren't "cruelty free", urging her fans not to use the brands because company researchers allegedly conduct product tests on animals.
"what do allllll (sic) of these things have in common!," she wrote. "None of them are cruelty free! Bite back ! @beaglefreedom".
News of Miley's latest adoption comes in the same weekend (02-03Jul16), the pop superstar was spotted with former fiance Liam Hemsworth on an outing in Malibu, California.
Miley and Liam reunited last year (15), but have been keeping a low profile since confirming the rekindled relationship.
"I just find it's easier to not talk about my personal life because usually I say the wrong thing, so it ends up just complicating things more," he told Entertainment Tonight in May (16). "So, I feel like it's better not to talk about it."
Rumors have swirled for months suggesting the couple is heading down the aisle in the near future, but in April (16), Liam denied the two were engaged again.
However, when Miley and Liam do decide to wed, they already have a volunteer lined up to officiate the ceremony - Miley's dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, who portrays a dysfunctional Elvis Presley-loving preacher in his new TV comedy Still the King.
He recently told breakfast show Today, "They know if they need a preacher they've found one!"

In a meeting that could foreshadow a continuation of the warming trend in city-county relations, newly elected county executives from some of Baltimore's neighboring counties came in from the suburbs last night to attend a downtown fund-raiser for Mayor Kurt L. Schmoke.
Incoming county executives for Howard, Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties, all Republicans, were among scores of elected officials and business leaders from around Maryland whom the Democratic mayor invited to last night's $500-per-ticket fund-raiser at the Omni Inner Harbor Hotel.
"Building a relationship is important, and this is an important first step," said Roger B. Hayden, the incoming executive for Baltimore County. "He was gracious enough to invite me, and I thought it was important enough to take the opportunity to meet him in person."

CNET First Look
Nike FuelBand SE: New colors, new tools, same conceptThe newest FuelBand fitness tracker adds Bluetooth 4.0 and some new motivational tools. And guess what? You can wear it in the shower more worry-free.
Hi. I'm Scott Stein and I'm wearing a Nike Fuelband SE, to try to get a little more fit. This is one of a variety of intelligent fitness trackers that are suddenly all over the place on the market. You've got Fitbit, you've got Jawbone UP. So, what's the advantage of the Fuelband SE versus others? Well, Nike came out with a Fuelband a year ago and it have this innovative design that has LED lights here, doubles as a watch and has a really slick features to read out, that lets you tell how many steps you take and how much fuel you've earned. Now, if you haven't used the Nike System before, fuel is a point system that accumulates daily and overtime to calculate what it considers, kind of a gamer score for your health. And it calculates how faster walking, how many steps you've taken using its three access accelerometer that's in here, and it does some additional magic sauce math to come up with that number. The whole Nike+ System is about earning achievements and badges and how does it feels on motivating tool? Well, I found that being able to glance with a press of the button here as I'm working or walking encourages you to say, well, I've only gotten to this point, maybe I can do a little more. And it's not just the digital readout here, it actually has this really cool multi-colored LED progress bar that tells you like a little gauge, how close you are to the goal that you've set. Now, Fuelband SE, the main hardware differences are that it uses Bluetooth 4.0. Now, that's a big trend across all wearable devices. What it means is that it can connect and disconnect wirelessly and sync even when you're not setting it to in a more seamless way. And only is available for the iPhones still, no Android support and it works with the iPhone 4S and later which have Bluetooth 4.0 in it. It will also sync to a computer. In fact, one of the coolest things about this Fuelband besides its comfortable feel, is the fact that when you disconnect it, it actually use its own USB stick and the durability on this has been amped up a bit so that it's now shower resistant, far better than before. And so you can wear this in shower, you can wash your hands with it, you can go swimming with it. There's also a session tracking feature. Now, if you play basketball, if you ski, if you're sleeping, which is an activity, if you press and hold this button, it will begin to log an activity, and what it does is it actually shows you like a speedometer, how many fuel points you're earning per minute and you can share that with your friends. In fact, there's a social system here that if friends wanna join in, become your fuel buddies and you can see how they're doing over the course of the week and a nice thing about the Nike system is that it's kinda getting a little more open because you don't have to just use the wrist band, although the Fuelband is the way that Nike intends for you to experience this. There's actually a Nike move app on the iPhone 5S that uses the M7 accelerometer tracking technology in there that also records your steps. It doesn't give you the same amount of points over time because it's in your pocket but it's a good little starter kit to experience the ecosystem. But in this day and age, the Fuelband is a little simplistic. It does tell you to move every hour with a little notifier but it doesn't buzz, there's no vibrate in this. I need a cattle prod. I need this thing to tell me to move. It's a nice step up but it's expensive compared to the competition, but for a stylish and comfortable sports tracking band, it's hard to be the feel of the Fuelband and it is fun to use especially if you want it as a watch. Just don't expect too much beyond that fuel scored gamification. I'm Scott Stein, and that's a look at the Nike Fuelband SE, which did get me to go to the gym and enjoy walking and running.

I Talk with a Tempter
Ruritania is not England, or the quarrel between Duke Michael and myself could not have gone on, with the extraordinary incidents which marked it, without more public notice being directed to it. Duels were frequent among all the upper classes, and private quarrels between great men kept the old habit of spreading to their friends and dependents. Nevertheless, after the affray which I have just related, such reports began to circulate that I felt it necessary to be on my guard. The death of the gentlemen involved could not be hidden from their relatives. I issued a stern order, declaring that duelling had attained unprecedented licence (the Chancellor drew up the document for me, and very well he did it), and forbidding it save in the gravest cases. I sent a public and stately apology to Michael, and he returned a deferential and courteous reply to me; for our one point of union was—and it underlay all our differences and induced an unwilling harmony between our actions—that we could neither of us afford to throw our cards on the table. He, as well as I, was a "play-actor", and, hating one another, we combined to dupe public opinion. Unfortunately, however, the necessity for concealment involved the necessity of delay: the King might die in his prison, or even be spirited off somewhere else; it could not be helped. For a little while I was compelled to observe a truce, and my only consolation was that Flavia most warmly approved of my edict against duelling, and, when I expressed delight at having won her favour, prayed me, if her favour were any motive to me, to prohibit the practice altogether.
"Wait till we are married," said I, smiling.
Not the least peculiar result of the truce and of the secrecy which dictated it was that the town of Zenda became in the day-time—I would not have trusted far to its protection by night—a sort of neutral zone, where both parties could safely go; and I, riding down one day with Flavia and Sapt, had an encounter with an acquaintance, which presented a ludicrous side, but was at the same time embarrassing. As I rode along, I met a dignified looking person driving in a two-horsed carriage. He stopped his horses, got out, and approached me, bowing low. I recognized the Head of the Strelsau Police.
"Your Majesty's ordinance as to duelling is receiving our best attention," he assured me.
If the best attention involved his presence in Zenda, I determined at once to dispense with it.
"Is that what brings you to Zenda, Prefect?" I asked.
"Why no, sire; I am here because I desired to oblige the British Ambassador."
"What's the British Ambassador doing dans cette galere?" said I, carelessly.
"A young countryman of his, sire—a man of some position—is missing. His friends have not heard from him for two months, and there is reason to believe that he was last seen in Zenda."
Flavia was paying little attention. I dared not look at Sapt.
"What reason?"
"A friend of his in Paris—a certain M. Featherly—has given us information which makes it possible that he came here, and the officials of the railway recollect his name on some luggage."
"What was his name?"
"Rassendyll, sire," he answered; and I saw that the name meant nothing to him. But, glancing at Flavia, he lowered his voice, as he went on: "It is thought that he may have followed a lady here. Has your Majesty heard of a certain Madame de Mauban?"
"Why, yes," said I, my eye involuntarily travelling towards the Castle.
"She arrived in Ruritania about the same time as this Rassendyll."
I caught the Prefect's glance; he was regarding me with enquiry writ large on his face.
"Sapt," said I, "I must speak a word to the Prefect. Will you ride on a few paces with the princess?" And I added to the Prefect: "Come, sir, what do you mean?"
He drew close to me, and I bent in the saddle.
"If he were in love with the lady?" he whispered. "Nothing has been heard of him for two months;" and this time it was the eye of the Prefect which travelled towards the Castle.
"Yes, the lady is there," I said quietly. "But I don't suppose Mr. Rassendyll—is that the name?—is."
"The duke," he whispered, "does not like rivals, sire."
"You're right there," said I, with all sincerity. "But surely you hint at a very grave charge?"
He spread his hands out in apology. I whispered in his ear:
"This is a grave matter. Go back to Strelsau—"
"But, sire, if I have a clue here?"
"Go back to Strelsau," I repeated. "Tell the Ambassador that you have a clue, but that you must be left alone for a week or two. Meanwhile, I'll charge myself with looking into the matter."
"The Ambassador is very pressing, sir."
"You must quiet him. Come, sir; you see that if your suspicions are correct, it is an affair in which we must move with caution. We can have no scandal. Mind you return tonight."
He promised to obey me, and I rode on to rejoin my companions, a little easier in my mind. Enquiries after me must be stopped at all hazards for a week or two; and this clever official had come surprisingly near the truth. His impression might be useful some day, but if he acted on it now it might mean the worse to the King. Heartily did I curse George Featherly for not holding his tongue.
"Well," asked Flavia, "have you finished your business?"
"Most satisfactorily," said I. "Come, shall we turn round? We are almost trenching on my brother's territory."
We were, in fact, at the extreme end of the town, just where the hills begin to mount towards the Castle. We cast our eyes up, admiring the massive beauty of the old walls, and we saw a cortege winding slowly down the hill. On it came.
"Let us go back," said Sapt.
"I should like to stay," said Flavia; and I reined my horse beside hers.
We could distinguish the approaching party now. There came first two mounted servants in black uniforms, relieved only by a silver badge. These were followed by a car drawn by four horses: on it, under a heavy pall, lay a coffin; behind it rode a man in plain black clothes, carrying his hat in his hand. Sapt uncovered, and we stood waiting, Flavia keeping by me and laying her hand on my arm.
"It is one of the gentlemen killed in the quarrel, I expect," she said.
I beckoned to a groom.
"Ride and ask whom they escort," I ordered.
He rode up to the servants, and I saw him pass on to the gentleman who rode behind.
"It's Rupert of Hentzau," whispered Sapt.
Rupert it was, and directly afterwards, waving to the procession to stand still, Rupert trotted up to me. He was in a frock-coat, tightly buttoned, and trousers. He wore an aspect of sadness, and he bowed with profound respect. Yet suddenly he smiled, and I smiled too, for old Sapt's hand lay in his left breast-pocket, and Rupert and I both guessed what lay in the hand inside the pocket.
"Your Majesty asks whom we escort," said Rupert. "It is my dear friend, Albert of Lauengram."
"Sir," said I, "no one regrets the unfortunate affair more than I. My ordinance, which I mean to have obeyed, is witness to it."
"Poor fellow!" said Flavia softly, and I saw Rupert's eyes flash at her. Whereat I grew red; for, if I had my way, Rupert Hentzau should not have defiled her by so much as a glance. Yet he did it and dared to let admiration be seen in his look.
"Your Majesty's words are gracious," he said. "I grieve for my friend. Yet, sire, others must soon lie as he lies now."
"It is a thing we all do well to remember, my lord," I rejoined.
"Even kings, sire," said Rupert, in a moralizing tone; and old Sapt swore softly by my side.
"It is true," said I. "How fares my brother, my lord?"
"He is better, sire."
"I am rejoiced."
"He hopes soon to leave for Strelsau, when his health is secured."
"He is only convalescent then?"
"There remain one or two small troubles," answered the insolent fellow, in the mildest tone in the world.
"Express my earnest hope," said Flavia, "that they may soon cease to trouble him."
"Your Royal Highness's wish is, humbly, my own," said Rupert, with a bold glance that brought a blush to Flavia's cheek.
I bowed; and Rupert, bowing lower, backed his horse and signed to his party to proceed. With a sudden impulse, I rode after him. He turned swiftly, fearing that, even in the presence of the dead and before a lady's eyes, I meant him mischief.
"You fought as a brave man the other night," I said. "Come, you are young, sir. If you will deliver your prisoner alive to me, you shall come to no hurt."
He looked at me with a mocking smile; but suddenly he rode nearer to me.
"I'm unarmed," he said; "and our old Sapt there could pick me off in a minute."
"I'm not afraid," said I.
"No, curse you!" he answered. "Look here, I made you a proposal from the duke once."
"I'll hear nothing from Black Michael," said I.
"Then hear one from me." He lowered his voice to a whisper. "Attack the Castle boldly. Let Sapt and Tarlenheim lead."
"Go on," said I.
"Arrange the time with me."
"I have such confidence in you, my lord!"
"Tut! I'm talking business now. Sapt there and Fritz will fall; Black Michael will fall—"
"—Black Michael will fall, like the dog he is; the prisoner, as you call him, will go by 'Jacob's Ladder'—ah, you know that!—to hell! Two men will be left—I, Rupert Hentzau, and you, the King of Ruritania."
He paused, and then, in a voice that quivered with eagerness, added:
"Isn't that a hand to play?—a throne and your princess! And for me, say a competence and your Majesty's gratitude."
"Surely," I exclaimed, "while you're above ground, hell wants its master!"
"Well, think it over," he said. "And, look you, it would take more than a scruple or two to keep me from yonder girl," and his evil eye flashed again at her I loved.
"Get out of my reach!" said I; and yet in a moment I began to laugh for the very audacity of it.
"Would you turn against your master?" I asked.
He swore at Michael for being what the offspring of a legal, though morganatic, union should not be called, and said to me in an almost confidential and apparently friendly tone:
"He gets in my way, you know. He's a jealous brute! Faith, I nearly stuck a knife into him last night; he came most cursedly mal a propos!"
My temper was well under control now; I was learning something.
"A lady?" I asked negligently.
"Ay, and a beauty," he nodded. "But you've seen her."
"Ah! was it at a tea-party, when some of your friends got on the wrong side of the table?"
"What can you expect of fools like Detchard and De Gautet? I wish I'd been there."
"And the duke interferes?"
"Well," said Rupert meditatively, "that's hardly a fair way of putting it, perhaps. I want to interfere."
"And she prefers the duke?"
"Ay, the silly creature! Ah, well, you think about my plan," and, with a bow, he pricked his horse and trotted after the body of his friend.
I went back to Flavia and Sapt, pondering on the strangeness of the man. Wicked men I have known in plenty, but Rupert Hentzau remains unique in my experience. And if there be another anywhere, let him be caught and hanged out of hand. So say I!
"He's very handsome, isn't he?" said Flavia.
Well, of course, she didn't know him as I did; yet I was put out, for I thought his bold glances would have made her angry. But my dear Flavia was a woman, and so—she was not put out. On the contrary, she thought young Rupert very handsome—as, beyond question, the ruffian was.
"And how sad he looked at his friend's death!" said she.
"He'll have better reason to be sad at his own," observed Sapt, with a grim smile.
As for me, I grew sulky; unreasonable it was perhaps, for what better business had I to look at her with love than had even Rupert's lustful eyes? And sulky I remained till, as evening fell and we rode up to Tarlenheim, Sapt having fallen behind in case anyone should be following us, Flavia, riding close beside me, said softly, with a little half-ashamed laugh:
"Unless you smile, Rudolf, I cry. Why are you angry?"
"It was something that fellow said to me," said I, but I was smiling as we reached the door and dismounted.
There a servant handed me a note: it was unaddressed.
"Is it for me?" I asked.
"Yes, sire; a boy brought it."
I tore it open:
Johann carries this for me. I warned you once. In the name of God, and if you are a man, rescue me from this den of murderers!—A. de M.
I handed it to Sapt; but all that the tough old soul said in reply to this piteous appeal was:
"Whose fault brought her there?"
Nevertheless, not being faultless myself, I took leave to pity Antoinette de Mauban.

Product Review: Kyjen Tail Teasers
One really fun dog toy that we received from Kyjen was the Tail Teaser which looks kind of like a fishing pole. It's a long handle with a rope attached to the end, and a little squeaky skunk-like toy attached to the rope. And you thought these kinds of toys were only for cats… guess again!
It turns out that Ellie really loved this thing!
Positives: It was a great way to get Ellie running around and panting without having to go to a big open field or dog park! I did it in the comfort of my apartment and it really wore her out. It was also very little effort on my part which was very nice. Also, she never lost interest, so she would keep going until she either: a) killed the squeaker, or b) I put the toy away.
Negatives: You need to be in a wide, open space. If there are other pets around, they may get run over by the pet chasing the toy, or if they are aggressive players, they may fight over the toy. Also, Ellie got very anxious because I wouldn't let her get it, so it will definitely get your dog riled up!
Overall ratings:
Durability: 4/5 (if your dog gets hold of the squeak toy, it might be easily chewed up)
Entertainment value: 5/5
Aesthetics: 3/5 (the long pole makes it difficult to store)
Human enjoyment: 5/5
Disclaimer: Kyjen provided this toy for us to test and review.

Parse Errors
How to Fix Parse Errors:
A parse is an error that was detected by the parser.
Invalid format and spelling mistakes are the two most common issues.
The error will usually give you a line and column number and maybe an element name.
You can fix these errors in one of two ways:
Use a code editor to find error. Use the error message to find element with problem.
Fix problem(if known) in the application that you exported the xml file from. Then export a new file with these corrections.
Note – Since most parse
errors are element format or spelling issues you will find
that you have probably repeated the same problem in most if
not all of the records. Option 2 above will be the best way
to fix this by fixing in export or file creation process .

EDISON — The Middlesex County College Alumni Association and Democracy House, the college's Service Learning program, combined to collect food for Middlesex County Food Organization and Outreach Distribution Services (M.C.F.O.O.D.S.) during the Student Activities Fair in September.
The fair brings several thousand students to the center of campus where they can talk with representatives of College clubs about becoming new members. The Alumni Association and Democracy House were responding to the needs of M.C.F.O.O.D.S., which had its food supplies diminished because of Hurricane Irene. M.C.F.O.O.D.S. collects and distributes nonperishable items to 100 local food pantries, soup kitchens, residential facilities, shelters, social service agencies, and others.

Get The Right Hunting Knife
Hunting should be taken seriously. That means that if you're going to do so you have to make sure that you have most if not all of the necessary equipment that could potentially let you end up having success at the entire thing. Being in the outdoors would let you be exposed to so many things like the elements and would certainly let you be far away from conveniences. With that in mind, since you'll most likely be in a remote area when you'd do your hunting, you should definitely carry with you things that are important. Of course, aside from food and shelter, you ought to have the correct weapon. Still, aside from your weapon, you have to have a trustworthy knife. Without one, it may be challenging for you to take home what you'd bring down. Killing game could be done with the use of long range weapons but sometimes such can miss and animals have this tendency to retaliate for themselves or their kind. When you'd have a trusty blade by your side, you would have peace of mind knowing that you'd have something to grab on to when faced with a dangerous animal at close range. Still, you definitely need one to cut up what you'd kill into pieces and have things skinned. But, when you do decide to buy a knife, you have to be smart since not all are made equally. For a guide on getting the perfect blade for hunting, please check out what are written under.
When buying, you should consider your entire arms. That means that you should bear in mind the shape and length of your fingers, hands and forearm since you'll need the kind that you could handle well. Make sure that you pick the kind of knife that has a handle that could accommodate your fingers and be gripped tightly by whichever hand you use to hold and thrust. Consider getting the type that has a grip and a bolster to make sure that you've got the type that is reliable. To make sure that you could choose properly, try checking out different models for comparison. For your convenience, you could use the internet and visit websites that display things like best survival knife 2018. Still, it would be ideal to head to a store and check out real knives for sale so that you could handle each during your assessment.
Of course, in buying a knife, the blade is something that you should definitely take into account. This means that you ought to get the type of knife that has a full tang at the bottom, sharp point and bevel or edge and proportional spine. Make sure that the metal that your knife would have would be sturdy enough to withstand breaking when you'd thrust it deep into the hide and flesh of an animal. Don't go for a folding knife. Rather, you ought to get that which has a fixed blade so that you would have a tool for immediate cutting.
Industrial Cleaning
Industrial cleaning is something which is being used more and more today as businesses start to realize the advantages that they can offer. Industrial cleaning companies can now be found all over the world, like http://www.wasweeping.com.au which is based in Perth. This company and companies like it are becoming busier and busier with tasks both big and small and their services are being increasingly more appreciated.
Some businesses may hire one of these companies to do their daily cleaning chores in their offices whilst others merely hire a cleaning company perhaps once a year to give the premises an annual good cleaning but whether a company is hired for a continued cleaning job or just for a 'one off' task, their standards are always high. Because the standards of cleaning which these companies offer is both high and consistent, many property managers hire them for end of tenancy cleaning of different premises and in doing so, ensure that a property is ready for a new tenant and will be expected to be handed back at the same standard; if not, the professional cleaners will once again be hired but at the exiting tenant's expense.
It is not only businesses which hire these professional industrial cleaners though as they are often called on to do domestic work in a household. Although most people will clean their own homes or perhaps hire an individual cleaner, many homes hire an industrial cleaning company for their spring clean or, perhaps just to clean some awkward places like stoves or garages, perhaps even a driveway.
In order to meet their own high standards, the professional industrial cleaning companies hire full time cleaners and the best, most modern machinery. These professional cleaners, armed with the latest machinery can clean any property quickly, faster than a business's own personnel could with whatever may be available for them to use. This means that an office or any other work area is disrupted for the shortest possible time and yet can still be thoroughly cleaned to a very high standard.
Equipped with road sweepers and pressure washers, many of these professional cleaning companies are hired by the local authorities to clean public areas, including streets parks and even building sites, ensuring that the district is maintained properly and tax payer's money is being spent efficiently. Car parks are one type of place where cleaning companies are often hired to clean as they can become very grimy with oil and other fluids which only industrial machinery will be able to clean.
Although of course any cleaning company will make relevant charges for their work, an increasing number of businesses are realizing that it is cheaper to hire these types of professionals than it is to buy their own equipment and use their own staff. Not only do these companies often work out cheaper but they are also more convenient and provide results that are above expectations or at least as good as any cleaning job can be done, regardless of what needs to be cleaned.

Disposing of Asbestos
Asbestos can be a serious hazard to people's health and if this had been known in the 1800s, it probably never would have been introduced for use as an additive to construction materials to make them more insular. Unfortunately that was not the case though and so about 50% of all houses constructed through the 1800s and into the 1980s and 1990s have asbestos as an additive in their construction materials.
Although there are 6 different types of asbestos, all 6 are potentially harmful to health but only 3 were ever intentionally used in the construction industry, the other 3 though are also often present as contaminants in those buildings. In Australia, the use of asbestos in construction materials was banned and so any house or other building constructed since then will be clear from any asbestos hazard but unfortunately, all buildings constructed prior to 2003 when the ban was introduce, may have an asbestos hazard.
Today there are companies like www.vipasbestosremovalsydney.com.au which can test for asbestos hazards and if necessary remove them. This is a specialized task as each of the 6 different types of asbestos has to be handled and disposed of differently. Fully aware of the risks and correct procedures for the safe disposal of asbestos, these companies are in demand more and more as an increasing number of people want to know if they or their family are at risk of catching cancer or mesothelioma which has been associated with asbestos.
When first constructed, many of the buildings, that have asbestos in some of their materials, are usually safe as the asbestos is known to only escape into the environment from the materials they are combined with when those materials are disturbed or damaged. It is at those times that the asbestos can be harmful and in some cases, even lethal as the asbestos fibers are inhaled into the lungs where they cannot be removed, potentially resulting in either mesothelioma or cancer. This means that when a building that was built prior to 2003 is demolished, it could release lots of asbestos fibers into the atmosphere where they can be inhaled by those people in the surrounding area. For this reason today, when buildings are due for demolition, these specialist companies are called in to check for asbestos. If asbestos is present then those same companies take measures to ensure that the asbestos is safely removed and disposed of correctly in accordance with current safety instructions ordered by both national and local authorities.
As signs of ill health from asbestos can take years to develop, many people are having their homes checked for signs that asbestos was used in the construction materials and if it was, have the asbestos removed, hopefully before it can have a detrimental health effect on their family members. These specialist companies that deal with asbestos are therefore becoming very busy and will probably remain so for some time as the removal of asbestos safely, is not something that can be done as a DIY task.
Use Your Property While You're Away
If you're going somewhere for quite some time and it'll be a while before you could come back, you could try using your place to gain income. Instead of just leaving it as is, you may want to use it to obtain rent money. A lot of people nowadays are interested in renting. That's because purchasing a house and even lots are quite costly. Aside from that, so much paperwork needs to be done when it comes to buying real estate. That's why, if you're going to go, you ought to use your space to accommodate people in exchange for money. However, instead of simply leaving your flat open for anyone to use, you may want to be choosy and pick who you're going to leave your unit to. Also, you ought to know just how much money you're going to charge. You still have to find out the ideal price that you're going to put up so that you could encourage folks to contact you. Still, you have to improve the physical condition of your unit so that you would make it perfect for habitation. Moreover, you still have to secure the items that are precious to you so you have to make arrangements on where and how to keep them so that you won't end up having regrets. To get more details regarding what was enumerated to be helpful in terms of using one's apartment for rent collection, please read on.
You can find a close friend that you could pay to keep watch over your unit while you're out or elsewhere from home but it would be best for you to contact professionals instead because they're the ones who can literally be liable for the condition of your unit. Right now, there are companies that manage properties for clients. You should look for different ones to compare and from them, you ought to select the kind that has been recommended and highly-rated by people so that you would have the confidence of leaving your unit in capable hands. Go for a group that can give you the assurance that your flat would stay well during your absence but it would be best for you to choose a company that can also give you suggestions regarding what needs to be improved in your property and how to makes contracts for a rental agreement. To be immediately directed to an example, you could visit the official website of John Hausam. But, as said, it would be best if you would find different firms to have some of those that you could compare.
Instead of just leaving everything to the professionals, however, it would be best for you to at least get a safety deposit box where you could store the things that you hold dear to you. Other than that, you could try bringing those that you really want to preserve just to be sure that they won't be lost or stolen. It would be best for you to have experts who could watch over your unit from time to time, though, since you still have to make sure that your tenants are there during their stay and that they haven't done bad things to your possessions.
Selling Properties
If you own an apartment or even a house which you allow tenants to rent, if you decide to later sell that property, you may have problems getting the tenants to move. One way that you may be able to avoid this problem is by approaching a property buyer, as they will sometimes buy a property even if there are still tenants in it. Of course they would want to first look at any tenant agreement but that usually isn't a problem that will stop them buying the property if they want it. One disadvantage of selling to a property buyer though is, they will often pay less than what you may get were you to use a real estate agent. A real estate agent would probably insist that the tenants move though before they will have dealings with the property and so you are left with a decision, go to the hassle of having the tenants evicted or selling for a cheaper price. Another time that you may want to consider getting a lower price for your property is if it is in need of some serious repairs. A realtor in most instances will insist that the repairs are made, by you, prior to them taking responsibility for its sale.
This can sometimes be a problem as you may not have the cash readily available to make those repairs and it certainly will be a huge inconvenience even if you do have adequate funds available. Buyers of Houston homes and buyers of other homes and properties around the country though, will often consider buying a property in the condition that it is in and then make arrangements for any repairs that are needed. Of course, as mentioned, this will mean that they may offer you less for the property than you may have expected to get using a realtor but at least you would not have had to find funds in advance nor had the inconvenience of the repairs being done whilst you were the owner of the property.
There are in fact several advantages to selling directly to a property buyer rather than through a realtor whilst often, the only advantage to using a realtor is that you may, eventually, get a better price for the property but at what cost in time and inconvenience? Often property buyers are used when it comes to inherited properties as they will offer cash and only take a matter of days to finalize a sale. Realtors on the other hand will go through their same lengthy processes which can take weeks perhaps even months and although the person inheriting the property may not have a use for the property itself, they often have a use for the money and need it as soon as they can possibly get it. Not every time would you want to use a property buyer but neither would you necessarily want to use a realtor every time either and so each individual instance needs to be considered separately.
The Clinching Process
For many years if someone did not want to use rivets to secure two sheets of metal together, they would weld the metal together. Although welding does produce a good seal, there are safety concerns when welding. Perhaps the main safety concern with welding is the possibility of the welder getting an electric shock. A electric shock of only 50 volts could cause injury to or even the death of a welder and so extreme safety measures have to be taken when welding to avoid a shock of any kind. Another safety concern when welding is the risk of fire. Some welding processes can create temperatures of up to 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit and therefore the process has the potential to cause a fire or even an explosion.
The welding process also creates fumes that can be dangerous to health and so another safety precaution that has to be observed is that any welding is done either in the open air or at least in a place where there is adequate ventilation. Although there are many other safety concerns associated with welding, the last major one is that the welder could receive burns to the eyes or other parts of their body if they do not wear adequate personal protection equipment, such as goggles or a mask.
With all the safety concerns associated with welding, there is obviously a relatively cost in taking adequate safety precautions to secure the safety of personnel which increases the costs of health and safety overall. There is now however a process called clinching that can seal two sheets of metal together without much cost in terms of health and safety. Although safety precautions of some kind or other should always be taken in any working environment, clinching does not has a need for fire and so risk of burns or harmful fumes are not a concern, making it a much cheaper option for many engineering tasks. As can be seen on the website http://www.juradotools.com/en/clinching-clinciatura/, clinching is a process that joins sheets of metal together by use of a die or punch and a clinching machine which is similar to pliers. The pliers apply pressure to the die which in turn applies pressure to the sheets of metal to be joined.
This pressure causes the sheets of metal to form what has become known as a button which keeps them securely locked together. An added benefit of the clinching process is that the join is not affected by weather or chemicals, making it ideal for use in the oil and gas industries. It is an easier process than riveting or screwing the sheets of metal together and requires less expense in terms of quality control. This process is being adopted by all areas of engineering and industry and it is also even being considered for use in the aerospace business. The process has already shown that it can have uses within the medical industries and is currently undergoing further research in that area to try and discover yet more uses for it.
Splitting Wood for Therapy
I never had the chance to do many outdoor activities as a child until my early teens. I grew up in a fairly normal home in a fairly normal suburb.
Everything was typically suburban for my early years. I had a bike and would play basketball with friends after school. But, all that ended when my parents divorced and dad got the royal shaft of the divorce proceedings.
My mom kept the nice house but my dad got kicked out and was living in a dive apartment in some shady complex. Eventually he got sick of it all and of working 1o hour days in a job he hated just to provide for a wife that didn't want him anymore, so he moved to a small cabin in the middle of nowhere.
I only saw him when he would come back "home" for random events like my confirmation. Then, when puberty hit and my hormones were in full swing, I started to get that normal kid of a divorced couple anger. I asked him why he abandoned me.
His reply was he didn't and I was free to visit any time as long as my mother said it was OK. I guess she had fought and won sole custody. My dad said it was some nasty legal trick, but I didn't really get into it.
My mom fought me but she was so busy with her new boyfriend(s) that she eventually broke down and let me visit him during summer breaks. She said she didn't like the idea but I got the feeling she was more than excited to get more free time.
I ended up taking a bus (actually 3 buses) to get out to near where he lived so they didn't have to see each other. It was weird being out in the woods away from my friends, bike, and TV. It was weird being around the man that I only saw when someone died or I received a fake award.
Then, the weird went away when he went to work. He would get up early and go do some blue collar hands-on type of work, something to do with logging though not a lumberjack. I would go outside and explore, because there was nothing to do.
One day my dad asked if I wanted to split some logs for him while he was out. I never did it before, so he showed me how. He taught me how to swing this weird looking splitting axe called a leveraxe.
It was designed with safety in mind, so he was OK with me using it.
After a couple swings I got the hang of it. And, I loved it. It was so fun. I split logs until my hands were shaking.
The next day I was sore but I felt great. I didn't seem to be so angry at everything anymore. I just wanted to go outside and split more logs.
To this day I still use the outdoors and everything you can do there, from splitting logs to hiking, as a way to cope with stress. The gym is great, but there's nothing like nature and all the gifts she has to offer.
Heating Your Home
For many of us, after paying the mortgage, the heating of our home is probably the most expensive thing we face each month. This though is a cost that can now be reduced by buying a smart thermostat. It has long been a tradition for a home owner to hang a thermostat in the hall of their house and use that to judge as to whether or not the heating needed to be turned up or down but those traditional thermostats were manual and so could not really help us in reducing our heating bills. The new smart thermostats though can as the best thermostats 2016 include up to 32 individual sensors that can be placed in each room and via Wi-Fi, pass on to the main control all relevant information for their individual rooms. The thermostats can then adjust the heating accordingly in each room and the smarter of these thermostats can even detect when a room is empty, or in fact when the whole house is empty and so adjust the heating of the whole home accordingly. Now obviously everybody wants to return to a nice warm house especially during the winter months, so they can immediately feel warm and comfortable.
In the past in order to achieve this, many people would leave their heating on all day, burning money every hour as it took too long for the house to warm back up after they arrived otherwise. Today though everything can be done remotely by the use of a hand held app and that includes these smart thermostats. This means that once everybody has left home in the morning, the sensors will inform the control panel which can then turn off the heating, only turning it back on when you tell it to remotely from your app or, when the sensors detect the first person has returned home. Some of the better smart thermostats also have settings that will allow for pets being in the home whilst the residents are away and make adjustments accordingly, depending on where the pet happens to be.
These modern thermostats and their sensors are very accurate unlike the traditional, old, manual thermostats and so that fact alone could make savings but when you add to that their ability to turn up or down the heating, by room, depending on whether or not a room is occupied, the savings grow and then finally, having the ability to turn down heating in the whole house whilst it is unoccupied, can make the savings very noticeable and certainly beneficial to the family finances. Imagine the hours of heating costs you save each day if the thermostat turns off the heating as the last person leaves and then you turn it on remotely, before the first person is expected to return. The savings are there but the warmth and comfort of your home is not compromised in any way, a win/win situation if ever there was one and one that affects your second biggest expense for the month.

Kassadin Build Guide by Sizyx
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Kassadin Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Chapter 1
NS = Null Sphere
NB = Nether Blade
FP = Force Pulse
RW = Riftwalk
This build is a lot like all the others. Runes and Mastery Tree are mostly the same as well. My spells are different however, I prefer to keep (clarity) early game the Mana is needed for Spamming. Ignite helps to get those runners too...even tho Kass can chase for days...you don't want to get to greedy.
To start off get Meki Pendant and 2 healing potions, your first skill should be Null Sphere. Use NS to farm creeps if you can't get close enough, again don't be greedy. Put your subsequent skill just like the guide says. I usually stay out till I have around 1100 gold then go buy Tears of the Goddess, Boots of Speed, and 2 more health potions if you used the ones you had.
Now its time to be a "LITTLE" more aggressive. By this point you should be at least level 6. Use NB to keep your FP charged up, and continue to farm creeps. Here how I harass, (This should all be done in a split second). :P
RW next to enemy champ.
(you don't have to hit them directly with this just get close enough).
NS so they cant cast on you/Dmg.
FP to slow/Dmg.
Then RUN away...before they can damage you.
Repeat the process until they are low enough. When they are low repeat the combo one more time but this time don't run. Cast Ignite and attack until they either are dead or have reached there tower. At this point hope your Ignite will kill them.
Kassadin doesn't have a lot of life or armor, Especially with this build. Hit and run tactics are your best asset, which is why I have clarity. Having the Lichbane in this build makes killing Champs, with magic resist, a breeze.
I hope this helps everyone. Just remember Good luck and Have fun, even if this build doesn't work for you.

How to Create Palatable Vegetable Juicing Recipes
Here is Why Vegetable Juicing is the Answer
Many people wonder how they can consume all of the recommended greens in only one day. Many of us especially with a hectic life schedule do not make vegetables and fruits our first priority. We feel that juicing is the answer for all of us. And although we can make various concoctions, having a few vegetable juicing recipes handy will above all work in favor of our health.
- Juicing gives your body a quick and efficient way to absorb all of the wonderful nutrients that are contained in vegetables and fruits, because juicing breaks down the cell walls of whole foods. Your body and digestive system will not waste energy working the foods to get these nutrients because juice can be absorbed by your body within twenty minutes.
- The fact that nutrients are immediately available to the body without any digestion - juicing becomes an excellent solution for those that are fasting, ill, aged or compromised health-wise. You will feel the impact of nutrients almost immediately upon drinking a glass of fresh vegetable juice. Make vegetable juicing a daily habit for ultimate and long term health benefits but also use the juicer of your choice when you are dieting, cleansing or recovering from any illness.
- Juicing is the best way to consume high volumes of greens during the day. Although green vegetables are the most alkalizing, mineralizing, and healthiest foods, they may not always the most flavorful. But you can mix other fruits and tastier vegetables into the mix to make it taste better or palatable. Foods such as apples or carrots are the best choices for this purpose. Keep reading there is more below on that!
Delicious Vegetable Juicing Recipes
When it comes to creating delicious juices that are also healthy, not only is it a matter of personal preference, but it's also an exercise for your imagination. What fruits would taste wonderful together and help you to take advantage of the many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes that fruits and vegetables have to offer?
Juicing is easy to learn and you can make and invent recipes that are easy, tasty, and best of all, healthy. But there are a few things that you need to remember when juicing vegetables and fruit.
- Make sure to wash all of the vegetables and fruits that you'll be using. It is best to purchase produce from a health food store or a local produce market. If you are buying them from the local supermarket, washing them will ensure that you have removed any lingering dirt, bacteria and pesticides. Since you'll be juicing the fresh produce with the skin on, this is particularly important. Make also sure that your cutting board and utensils are clean as well.
- Many fruits and vegetables do not have to be prepared further than cutting them up into smaller pieces to fit inside the juicer. However, most pits and larger seeds will need to be removed, in addition to the rind from some citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits. Many melons can be juiced with their peel and all. It is best to investigate how each fruit and vegetable should be juiced before you attempt to use it in a recipe.
- If vegetable juicing hasn't been in your diet until now, start by making your vegetables about 25% by volume of the fresh produce you are juicing and have a "simple" base of something like celery, cucumber, zucchini, carrots and apples. Furthermore carrots and apples help to sweeten the bitterness of some leafy greens like kale and beet leaves.
- When creating a juice recipe, make sure to use your imagination and try new combinations of produce. Keep in mind that you should juice the soft fruits and vegetables first. Then juice the harder and tougher ones like carrots. The tougher ones will push the softer ones through the juicer.
- Do not juice many vegetables at a time. Keep the ingredients simple, or I should say less crowded. We can argue here that "less is more" especially if you're a novice. Once you get a hold of it and get a kick out of creating new concoctions you can most certainly start to add more types. If you'd like to add many vegetables in your diet, consider creating simple but different juices a few times a day, instead of creating one complicated 12-veggie juice once a day.
- You might think that fruits like bananas or avocados will help to make the bitterness that comes from some vegetables go away, but as we said it before especially these two can clog your juicer and definitely perform better in smoothies.
- If you're a newbie do not have the urge to dive head first into a juice cleanse or detox juice. Most likely your body won't be able to take it in. Juice-only cleanses have a good place in a healthy diet or helping your body get rid of some issues, but it sure is not for people who have never juiced before. This is a very important point to consider because otherwise you're not only setting yourself up for failure but also risking your health.
- Consider adding lemon or ginger to your vegetable juices. Lemon adds a ton of zest while ginger gives it a great kick. Lemon rinds are OK to juice but most people find them a little too strong at first. They can also help you curb your appetite. On the other hand a 1/2-inch piece of ginger can help to mask some of the unusual raw tastes coming from the veggies that you're not used to yet. And ginger is a great source of wellness in itself.
Nothing is more energizing than a quick glass of home-made vegetable juice. Do not buy V8 or a similar product when you feel like boosting yourself up with a vegetable juice. Bottle products contain many artificial ingredients and preservatives in them and when we talk about fresh juicing we certainly do not refer to those products.
Juicing at home only takes a few minutes to do, but will offer your body huge benefits for a long time -- such as weight loss and more importantly assistance to cure and prevent common health issues.
Furthermore with juicing, there is no cooking, no pans to scrub or time wasted eating a meal. Juicers are relatively quick and easy to clean so you can get on with your day. Juicing does not have to consume your life. Drinking just one glass of fresh juice a day will give you ton of energy and perk up not only your over all physical and mental performance but also your spirits.
Vegetable Juicer
We hear this question a lot: "Do I need a vegetable juicer in order to juice anything other than fruits?"
So we thought it's worth mentioning juicer options in relation to our vegetable juicing needs.
There is no such a thing as a vegetable juicer that would be different than a fruit juicer for instance. All juicers can juice both vegetables and fruit. However some do better with leafy greens and wheat grass. The top reason for juicing is to extract nutrients each fruit and vegetable contain, and generally speaking the goal is to get the smoothest juice with the least amount of pulp.
What are your options to juice vegetables?
Although you can use a blender to juice your vegetables, and you can be sure to obtain nutrition-packed beverages from raw fruit and vegetable of your choice, be aware that juicing and blending are significantly different and so are the beverages they produce. With a blender you would be creating more like a smoothie with ton of pulp making it more filling.
Read more about Spinach Smoothies, if you'd like to use a blender to blend vegetables.
And click here if you'd like to learn more about the best blenders on the market.
However when we talk about juicing we usually refer to extracting only the fluid and nutrients separating the liquid from the solids in raw produce, therefore the fibrous or pulpy remains are discarded and not consumed (at least inside the juice.)
And the best way to obtain this kind of juice for any raw produce (fruit or vegetables) is using either a centrifugal juicer or a masticating (slow) juicer. There is also a third type which is triturating juicer that presses the produce.
Although all of these types will be able to juice hard vegetables such as celery, carrots, beets, apples and pears really well, not all centrifugal juicers are capable of doing a good job with leafy greens such as kale, chard, collards, spinach and lettuce. And if you want to juice wheat grass you should definitely get either a masticating or a tritulating juicer.
Centrifugal Juicers in a Nutshell
This is the type that separates the fiber from the juice by spinning. It juices the fastest but it's noisy due to the fast spinning motor. This rapid movement also generates higher heat which can kill some of the nutrients in the raw produce.
Learn more about Centrifugal Juicers
Masticating Juicers in a Nutshell
This is the type that yields between 20 to 25% more liquid from raw produce by slowly masticating whatever you chute down from its feeding tube. It's quiter, slower and more expensive but the quality of the juice obtained is much higher.
