A VICTORIAN woman has been jailed for killing her aunt by drunkenly driving so dangerously the car crashed and its engine flew out.

Adelaide District Court Judge Simon Stretton told Gabrielle Loretta Harney, 25, of Lakes Entrance, her offending was too serious for a suspended sentence.

"Your drunk, unlicensed, speeding and dangerous driving was clearly the sole cause of your aunt's death," Judge Stretton said.

Harney was found guilty at trial of causing her aunt's death by dangerous driving.

Sentencing her to five years, with a non-parole period of four years, Judge Stratton said Harney was speeding in Royal Park in March 2008 when she lost control.

The car slid across a road, mounted a curb and hit a tree before catching fire.

Her aunt was pronounced dead at the scene.

Judge Stretton said Harney's failure to say sorry to her family until recently in court had caused them "great suffering".

Harney, who has a 14-month-old son, had a history of driving offences including stealing a car.

Judge Stretton did not suspend the sentence.

"Your offending is simply too serious, the consequences too great and the need for general deterrence too high," he said.

It's not hard to see why fruit juice bars are still growing strong with very affordable, quick and much healthier alternatives to most other drinks. Australians seem to be increasingly aware of these healthier options and, in most cases, taking full advantage of them. A quick stroll past a juice bar, in a major shopping centre, around lunch time on a weekend and you'll see almost as many staff as an apple store working frantically to fill the orders of a growing crowd.

A great Juicing summer!

It's about time Juicers came with a little more... Juice!
 
Spring is in full swing and summer is just around the corner, bringing with it fresh berries, apricots and melons! Is eating fruit really the healthiest option though? Experts beg to differ, claiming you can get 40% more nutrients from fresh fruit juice than from whole fruit.
 
In 2006 Dr Sandra Cabot not only highlighted the health benefits of fresh orange based juices in a report titled, ‘The health benefits of citrus.’ Dr Cabot also provided tips on how to make fresh juice a regular part of each day:
 
· Choose the time of day that is the easiest and most relaxing for juicing.
 
· Buy a juicer with a large feed chute to avoid fine chopping, and one that’s easy to clean.
 
· Keep the juicer on the kitchen bench, where it is visible, to remind you to use it.
 
Anyone with a juicer from 2006 though is probably now poking holes in all three points. It’s never a relaxing process with a motor cranking out around 70-90 decibels(db) of noise (The same levels of a large truck or subway). “Easy to clean” is a matter of opinion but pulling it all apart to wash everything separately, with only some parts being dishwasher safe, just doesn’t seem to fit the bill. Finally, apartment owners beware, the coup de grace of traditional juicers: if you do manage to fit one on your bench top, take care it’s not teetering vicariously off the edge.
 
They did all have large feed chutes though, allowing less manual chopping time but more time for your juicer to enact Murphy’s Law on your white shirts with renegade tomato pulp. However, there finally seems to be an end to all this juicing madness!
 
Coway’s Juicepresso joins as one of the latest in juicer technologies. Making less noise than your average conversation, a simple matter of pouring water in to a generously sized feed chute to clean and taking up less bench space than your coffee machine; Coway have finally taken today’s ‘grab and go’ society, added Australian families increased awareness of healthy eating and squeezed them together!

Coway Juicepresso Review

This new juicer is a very exciting addition to health and wellbeing products and truly stands in a league of its own.

The JuicePresso is quieter, healthier and extracts more juice compared to other juicers currently available.

This fantastic product is especially handy for people on the go, the health conscious or mums and dads that are time poor yet want to ensure their children are receiving the essential vitamins and minerals they require every day to grow up strong and healthy.

The problem with existing hand graters, blenders and traditional juicers is that they destroy the majority of the nutrition, which is one of the main reasons we have juicers; besides the taste of course. 
Some of the advantages the Juice Presso has over other brands include: -

  • It retains approximately four times the amount of nutrients such as fibre, minerals, anti-oxidants and live enzymes vs. a traditional juicer
  • JuicePresso extracts approximately six times the amount of vitamin C from household fruit vs. other juicing systems.
  • The high quality DC motor utilized by the JuicePresso is whisper quiet and is a mere fraction of the sound produced by noisy competitors.
  • It’s easy self-cleaning system means that a simple rinse through with water is all the JuicePresso ever needs.

All of this is made possible through the use of the JuicePresso’s innovative SmartExtractionSystem (SES) utilising its patented low speed technology system based on materials developed by NASA. It slowly yet gently presses out the juice, separating pulp from juice.

Although many of us are now aware of the benefits of fresh juice, a number of us are concerned with the amount of juice obtained from all the fruit and vegies we buy. The JuicePresso however, produces an amazing twice the amount of juice, so there always plenty to go around. Furthermore the JuicePresso is looking after your wallet by ensuring you’re getting the maximum value for money with each visit to the supermarket

So if you’re looking to give your family the best in healthy living, you can’t go past the JuicePresso
