"ONE APPLE A DAY, KEEP A DOCTOR AWAY"

Health benefits of apple

• Delicious and crunchy apple fruit is notable for its impressive list of phtyto-nutrients, and anti-oxidants. Studies suggest that its components are essential for normal growth, development and overall well-being.
  
• Apples are low in calories; 100 g of fresh fruit slices provide only 50 calories. They, however, contain no saturated fats or cholesterol. Nonetheless, the fruit is rich in dietary fiber, which helps prevent absorption of dietary-LDL or bad cholesterol in the gut. The fiber also saves the colon mucous membrane from exposure to toxic substances by binding to cancer-causing chemicals inside the colon.
  
• Apples are rich in antioxidant phyto-nutrients flavonoids and polyphenolics. The total measured anti-oxidant strength (ORAC value) of 100 g apple fruit is 5900 TE. Some of the important flavonoids in apples are quercetin, epicatechin, and procyanidin B2. Additionally, they are also good in tartaric acid that gives tart flavor to them. Altogether, these compounds help the body protect from deleterious effects of free radicals.
  
• Apple fruit contains good quantities of vitamin-C and beta-carotene. Vitamin C is a powerful natural antioxidant. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful, pro-inflammatory free radicals from the body.
  
• Further, apple fruit is a good source of B-complex vitamins such as riboflavin, thiamin, and pyridoxine (vitamin B-6). Together these vitamins help as co-factors for enzymes in metabolism as well as in various synthetic functions inside the body.
  
• Apple also contains a small amount of minerals like potassium, phosphorus, and calcium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure; thus, counters the bad influences of sodium.
  
  
  

  election and Storage

  Fresh apples are readily available in the stores all around the season. Choose fresh, bright, firm textured apples with rich flavor. Avoid fruits with pressure marks over their surface as they indicate underlying mottled of pulp.
  Fresh apples can be kept at room temperature for few days and stored inside the refrigerator for two to three weeks. Wash them in clean running cold water before use to remove any surface dust and pesticide/fungicide residues.
  
  

  Preparation and Serving tips

  Wash apples thoroughly in the running water to remove any surface dust, insecticide/fungicide sprays. Trim off top end using a paring knife and cut the fruit into two equal halves. Take out tiny, centrally placed, bitter seeds. Slice the fruit into desirable cubes or slices.

  Here are some serving tips:
  
• Eat apple fruit as they are, along with their peel in order to get maximum health-benefits.
  
• Sliced apple turns brown (enzymatic brownish discoloration) on exposure to air due to conversion in iron form from ferrous oxide to ferric oxide. If you have to serve them sliced, rinse slices in water added with few drops of fresh lemon.
  
• Cloudy as well as clear apple juice is a healthy alternative drink with dinner.
  
• Apple fruit is also used in the preparation of fruit jam, pie, and fruit salad.
  

Safety profile

Good yield demands close attention and supervision of apple crop. According to the environmental-working group reports, apple fruit is one of the heavily pesticide-contaminated produce. The most common pesticides found on apple are organo-phosphorous and organo-chloride pesticides like Permethrin and DDT. Therefore, it is recommended to wash the fruit thoroughly before use.

Windows XP Easter Egg - Updated Rainbow

I believe this goes under the "Vanity" clause; my theory (I can't tell since I'm *not* a programmer) is that they wanted to differentiate between the last "home user" version of Windows (ME) and XP. I happened to notice the difference when I tried the original "volcanoes" egg and didn't get a single name of an actual volcano! To see the "updated" rainbow:

1. Open up the Display controls panel. You can find this in two ways:
a. Go to Control Panel, then double-click on the "Display" entry/icon, or
b. Right-click anywhere on your desktop that is _not_ covered by an icon and click on "Properties".
(Both of these will get you to the exact same place; just use one or the other.)

2. Click on the "Screen Savers" tab, then scroll to "3D Text".

3. Click on the Settings button and tweak the settings this way:

Text: either (although the time will show this off better, IMO)
Rotation: Any (Spin or Tumble recommended)
Surface Style: Here's where the similarity is. It's the same as the one for Windows 98SE (http://www.eeggs.com/items/1959.html) that Nikolas wrote about (just scroll down after clicking the above link for his entry). *Please remember to close the textures window by clicking on the "abort" (the small x in the upper right-hand corner) and NOT the "ok" button!*
You can tweak the rest of the settings as you wish. Be sure to hit "OK" after setting things up or this won't work!

4. Hit the "preview" button to see the new rainbow! (On some machines, the preview window in the tab is too small to view this properly.)
