Here are 101 diet tips for fast weight loss and fast fat loss. It is far more important to lose fat than lose weight. Body weight should consist of less than approximately 20% body fat. During a fast weight loss diet, if it is not done correctly it can reduce muscle mass, especially if you are trying to lose weight fast. Muscle burns fat even during rest periods so it is obviously a good thing to maintain muscle while trying to lose weight. Fast diets and quick weight loss can cause you to lose muscle as well as lose pounds. That is why it is important to supplement with high quality protein to avoid muscle loss during a quick diet / fast diet.
These tips for dieting are general recommendations as everyone is different and responds differently to weight loss diets based on age, gender, genetics, health, medications and a multitude of other factors. As always, check with your doctor before making any radical changes to your diet plan and "listen" to what your body tells you. Generally you do not want to lose fat at a rate of much more than 3 pounds a week. Toxins are stored in your body fat and by losing fat fast, you are overloading your body's detoxification mechanisms – liver, kidneys, skin, bowels, lymph and other systems. The rest of your body suffers through the elevated toxins also – brain, organs, blood so it is best to go at it slow and steady and drink plenty of water. If you feel ill from the toxins from a rapid weight loss diet, slow it down.
Some of these tips to lose are probably foreign to you. They buck the traditional bad advice of the mainstream media and medical doctors. Remember – eggs are bad (cholesterol) – wait, now eggs are good again, butter is bad – margarine is good – now butter is good again and margarine is bad (trans-fat). Salt is bad (sodium chloride is bad), natural sea salt is not only good for you, it is absolutely necessary for life! Remember lard (animal fat) is bad, vegetable oils are good – NOPE, another complete reversal – vegetable oil throws off the Omega 3/6/9 balance. If you have been following their advice, your health will be suffering. Notice how heart disease has continued to climb despite all our "food science" ? How about another "brainchild" idea – we have an iodine shortage in our American diet which can cause hypothyroidism among other problems, lets supplement table salt with iodine, then tell everybody to avoid salt – what sense does that make?
As a general rule, the less man messes with a food, the healthier that food is. Somehow "scientists" think they can out do our creator and "improve" upon foods. It is getting scarier with genetically modified foods (Frankenfoods). Microwaves are another "advance" in science – there is controversy over their safety. I personally use them as little as possible, something about vibrating the atomic structure of the food does not appeal to me. NEVER microwave food in plastic containers or covered or wrapped in plastic wrap. Any fats or oils interact with the plastic and leach BPA at an accelerated level. BPA is a chemical which mimics estrogen (yes – the female hormone) and causes weight gain as well as unbalancing healthy hormonal levels in males and females.
There appears to be many factors that affect weight gain (fat in this case):
Those are some of the culprits of weight loss difficulty. Now you know what to avoid or minimize your exposure to. Eat organic whenever you can and avoid the hormones and antibiotics. Re-stock your gut with probiotics either via supplements or fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchee, cheeses, yogurt, kefir, raw milk…). Get a water filter for your sink and your shower (or whole house). Basically stay close to nature and your body will function as it is supposed to / divinely designed.
If you apply one of the above weight loss tips, you will make progress towards your goal of fast weight loss / fast fat loss. Apply many of the above diet tips and your fat loss will increase exponentially. Keep in mind, food is life – don't abuse it.
The main reason any plan fails is being unable to follow it. The biggest reason for not following a diet is inability to control your appetite or hunger. The easiest way to control your appetite is with an effective appetite suppressant. Click on Easy Diets for the most effective appetite suppressant and fat burning weight loss product.

Every year at the start of school, I introduced my kindergarteners to the principal, kitchen staff and other VIPs by sending them on a playful gingerbread hunt. My students smiled from start to finish. (And so did the staff!)
Now that I'm out of the classroom, I was excited to share this playful reading activity with my three year old son, C. And, since Christmas is right around the corner, the timing of the activity couldn't be more perfect. You can download your own free copy of the clues we used here.
The Setup
To start, I gathered a few supplies:
- A copy of The Gingerbread Man.
- A set of the printable clues. I included two designs for you to choose from – one with festive colors and one with gingerbread men.
- A pair of scissors.
- Gingerbread cookies. I took the easy route this time and bought a package of Pepperidge Farms' Gingerbread Men.
- Two plates.
After cutting and folding the clues, I placed one on an empty plate and left it on the dining room table next to our mischievous Elf on the Shelf. I surrounded it with red sprinkles to give the illusion that the gingerbread man lost a few decorations when he ran away.
Since the first clue said that the gingerbread man was hiding next to the door, I placed the next clue on our doorknob. That clue said, "Come and find me on the tree" so I walked to our living room and laid the next clue in our Christmas tree branches.
Once all of the clues were hidden, I placed the congratulations sign and a plate of gingerbread cookies in the refrigerator like this:
Whew! The hunt was ready.
The Hunt
Before C laid down for his afternoon nap, we read The Gingerbread Man together and laughed at how mischievous the cookie was. When he woke up a few hours later, I told him that our elf had listened to our story and brought a plate of gingerbread cookies for him to enjoy. (I'm sure that you can imagine how excited that news made him!) C raced upstairs to find the surprise. But, of course, the plate waiting for him was empty and all that remained were a few sad sprinkles and a note telling him to look for the gingerbread man at the door.
Off C went, running around the house finding one clue and then the next. After reading two or three notes together, he had already memorized the first three lines: Run! Run! Fast as you can! You can't catch me! I'm the gingerbread man! Each time that he "read" the words on his own, he beamed with pride and then excitedly jumped up and down as I read the next set of words out loud to him.
When the final clue led him to the plate of cookies hiding in the fridge, he happily enjoyed his treat and then BEGGED (and that's no exaggeration) to repeat the hunt again.
We spent the next thirty minutes hiding the clues and following them around the house. To say that this activity was a hit would be a big understatement. I hope that your family enjoys the game as much as mine.

Dwight Howard in L.A.? It just might fly
Orlando's superstar center could fit in L.A., and L.A. could fit him
Updated: December 7, 2011, 10:49 AM ETBy Arash Markazi | ESPNLosAngeles.com
LOS ANGELES -- The third most popular basketball player in Los Angeles plays 2,500 miles away and has never lived in California.He's more Disney World than Disneyland but is as Hollywood as it gets at heart. Dwight Howard hasn't been traded yet but all indications are that the Orlando Magic center will be dealt at some point before the trade deadline and if his final destination ends up being anywhere other than Los Angeles, something went wrong. Somebody somewhere dropped the ball and this city and its future favorite son will suffer for it. Howard belongs in Los Angeles. He's done everything but hop in a convertible and cruise down Sunset Blvd. singing Randy Newman's "I Love L.A." when hinting about his future plans and his refusal to sign a contract extension with the Magic. Basketball fans in Los Angeles have already embraced Howard as one of their own in the hopes of his arrival. Do a Google search of Howard and you'll see plenty of superimposed Lakers and Clippers jerseys on his 6-foot-11, 265-pound frame. (Hey, fans with Photoshop can dream, right?)
Howard's fate will end up being the first true personnel test for two organizations that have long lived on opposite ends of the NBA's spectrum but are now embarking on new paths toward the same goal. There is, of course, the Los Angeles Lakers, which have won 10 championships under the guidance of owner Jerry Buss since 1980. The team began the Jim Buss era in May when Jerry's son essentially took over the reins and swept away Phil Jackson and nearly every remnant of his staff to begin anew with Mike Brown. Then there's the Los Angeles Clippers, who have made the playoffs only four times since 1976 and have played in three different cities during that time under two different names. Clippers fans' dreams for a new owner to replace Donald Sterling haven't been answered yet, but the next best thing has happened: The emergence of Blake Griffin as one of the league's biggest stars has forced a once-frugal team to start spending money to build a championship contender around him to keep him with the franchise long after his rookie deal expires. If the Lakers get Howard, they once again become the championship favorites and set themselves up for another run at a three-peat during Bryant's final three seasons under contract with the Lakers.

AP Photo/Eric Gay Wouldn't it be nice to see Dwight Howard flying around Staples Center?
If the Clippers get Howard, they will become title contenders and just as importantly will become the new "it" team in Los Angeles. The Clippers' bandwagon with Howard and Griffin would be too heavy for even Howard to lift and to too tall for Griffin to dunk over.The Lakers and Clippers should make this real easy for Magic general manager Otis Smith, who knows he will lose Howard after this season. They should send him a copy of their rosters with the names of Bryant and Pau Gasol crossed out for the Lakers and Griffin crossed out for the Clippers and ask him to pick two or three players. Both teams should also be willing to throw in a couple of drafts picks as well to sweeten the deal.

Property was very clean and well maintained. No major issues were encountered during our stay, minor issues were immediately and professionally resolved (gas grill ran out of propane). The web app was great for information and communication. We love going to the Currituck Club and Summerland was a nice change from our usual location. Nice sized pool and hot tub for 6-8 people. Nice amenities, kitchen supplies were great, cable, wifi, games and sound systems and TVs were great. All Bathrooms were clean and average size. Minor item to note that 1 of 5 bathrooms was aging and seemed in need of updating.

You are Not a Certified Vet Tech. Until you take & pass your state boards. Penn/foster cannot certify you.All they can do is give you a diploma. so you can take your state board exams. Doesn't anybody read the fine print anymore. You can go to YOUR home state And request that they get your trans-scripts from Penn/Foster.0 0 Reply

Another Democratic candidate, New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, is scheduled to speak Sunday night at the Jefferson-Jackson Dinner in Carson City. On Monday, he will meet with some state lawmakers, union leaders and supporters before traveling to Las Vegas.

Greene Vs. Sonoma County....Why Marriage Equality Is Important
That is exactly what happened here in my home of Sonoma County to Clay Greene and his partner of 20 years Harold. When faced with a health crisis, the county swooped in, confined them both in separate nursing homes, assumed control of both of their finances, sold all their combined property, and surrendered their home back to the landlord. All the while trying to explain away their relationship to each other as "roommates", even though they all appropriate legal documents naming each other as beneficiaries should something happen to the other. All this resulting in Harolds death three months later leaving clay little more than memories of their life together. Their lives together where very nearly erased....and it happened in my back yard.
This horrific story was sent to our facebook page and my jaw dropped when I saw it. It was just days ago that I was expressing happiness with my city for finally approving an LGBT retirement community and then along comes along this account of gross discrimination. This is a story of callous cruelty against two men who thought they had their legal protections in place yet found those swept away as if they did not exist at all.
Full text from the National Center For Lesbian Rights Case docket:
Clay and his partner of 20 years, Harold, lived in California. Clay and Harold made diligent efforts to protect their legal rights, and had their legal paperwork in place—wills, powers of attorney, and medical directives, all naming each other. Harold was 88 years old and in frail medical condition, but still living at home with Clay, 77, who was in good health.
One evening, Harold fell down the front steps of their home and was taken to the hospital. Based on their medical directives alone, Clay should have been consulted in Harold's care from the first moment. Tragically, county and health care workers instead refused to allow Clay to see Harold in the hospital. The county then ultimately went one step further by isolating the couple from each other, placing the men in separate nursing homes.
Ignoring Clay's significant role in Harold's life, the county continued to treat Harold like he had no family and went to court seeking the power to make financial decisions on his behalf. Outrageously, the county represented to the judge that Clay was merely Harold's "roommate." The court denied their efforts, but did grant the county limited access to one of Harold's bank accounts to pay for his care.
What happened next is even more chilling: without authority, without determining the value of Clay and Harold's possessions accumulated over the course of their 20 years together or making any effort to determine which items belonged to whom, the county took everything Harold and Clay owned and auctioned off all of their belongings. Adding further insult to grave injury, the county removed Clay from his home and confined him to a nursing home against his will. The county workers then terminated Clay and Harold's lease and surrendered the home they had shared for many years to the landlord.
Three months after he was hospitalized, Harold died in the nursing home. Because of the county's actions, Clay missed the final months he should have had with his partner of 20 years. Compounding this tragedy, Clay has literally nothing left of the home he had shared with Harold or the life he was living up until the day that Harold fell, because he has been unable to recover any of his property. The only memento Clay has is a photo album that Harold painstakingly put together for Clay during the last three months of his life.
With the help of a dedicated and persistent court-appointed attorney, Anne Dennis of Santa Rosa, Clay was finally released from the nursing home. Ms. Dennis, along with Stephen O'Neill and Margaret Flynn of Tarkington, O'Neill, Barrack & Chong, now represent Clay in a lawsuit against the county, the auction company, and the nursing home, with technical assistance from NCLR. A trial date has been set for July 16, 2010 in the Superior Court for the County of Sonoma.
Words can not express the anger I feel at reading this. the way these men were treated was shamefull and I can't believe this occured in a county that traditionally is very accepting of gays and lesbians. As my husband expressed, "If we're not safe here, where can we be safe?" To which, I guess the answer is "nowhere". Only full legal rights could have stopped the events that happened to these two men.
Sonoma County is my home. It voted against Prop 8 by 68% of the population and has been recorded to have the highest population of gay couples raising children in the nation. It has always been a safe haven for Gay and Lesbian Californians second only to the city of San Francisco. I was utterly floored to see that this happened here. The last time I had heard of a story of this nature was the account of Janice Langbehn and Lisa Pond, who had medical visitation denied them in a Florida hospital resulting in Lisa Pond dying alone without her partner or children at her side. At the time Lisa Pond was told not to expect any sympathy because she was in an "anti-gay state". Indeed, that story was so awfull I promised not to go to Florida again until they change their treatment of LGBT people. ...and now it has happened right here in my home.
Jay contacted Anne Dennis, the attorney representing Clay Greene, to see if there was any way we could help support his case. the attorney expressed her own outrage and explained that they had tried to get the story printed in our local paper, The Press Democrat, to which they have still recieved no answer. Immediately I thought, " Oh no, you don't go to the local paper with a story like this, you take it to the net." This story needs to be shouted from the rooftops. It needs to reverberate to every blog and website it can because what happened to these two men can happen to each of us.
There should be no gay or lesbian out there who reads this and thinks, "This can't happen to me". Thats just what these two men thought and it DID happen to them. I think they must have also felt some level of protection living in a county that normally normally considered a safe place for gays and lesbians. Which to my mind, goes to show that it can happen to anyone, anywhere, anytime when society is allowed to treat us as second class. Would this things have happened to Clay and Harold had the county workers been dealing with a legal marriage instead of Wills and Powers of Attorney....I doubt it greatly.
Many gay couples did not marry in California while the window of opportunity was open, Clay and Harold are only one example of those who didn't. Some believed their Civil Partnerships were enough legal protection. One Couple I know personally had their commitment ceremony more than a decade ago and felt as if that was enough for them. Still more couples where not ready to marry their partners yet, even though they considered the idea, knowing that the chance may not come around again. In short lots of gay Californians were left out of the narrow window of opportunity in which they could have legally wed.
Sean Chapin and yours truely took our outrage to Youtube:
As Sean Chapins video points out, anything less than full equality and full recognition leaves the door open enough that events like this can continue to happen. These two Gentlemen went to great pains to name each other as legal beneficiaries within their legal documents yet all it took was the change of a name from "partners" to "roommates" for a judge to o.k. what happened to these two men...thats the knife edge on which we stand.
In addition, Jay and I have heard a strong voice from within the gay community expressing the opinion that the struggle for marriage equality is in some way a selfish venture. They ask why we are fighting for the right to marry when Don't Ask Don't Tell(DADT) and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act(ENDA) affect the gay community in much more practicle ways. Well folks...this is why....Clay and Harold can be you and me with just the redifinition of the word that describes our relationships. As California Supreme Court Justice Kennard quiped during the trial over the validity of Proposition 8..."aren't we really just talking about a label?" No Mam...not when the label means this much. The label of marriage is more than a word, it is inseparable from the connotations and legal protections that the word "married" carries with our society. Clay and Harolds case demonstrates this through tragedy. Is this what it takes for people to understand this? Must every change begin through tragedy before we see its need?
As the video states we will continue to follow Clays story and plan on being present for the trial. I encourage everyone to show their support and to let it be known that these kinds of events can not happen under the cover of darkness. This is how you can help:
1. HELP SPREAD THE STORY! I have tried to get this story out to Pams House Blend with the intent of raising awarness. Please feel free to use this blog entry or our Youtube video to help get the story out there whether through your own words..or ours. Facebook it, twitter it, send it to any blog you can think of...but please share it.
2. Help contact our local paper, The Press Democrat, and let them know that they can not ignore this issue. You can find them:
at their contact page or...
Email the Executive Editor at: catherine.barnett[@pressdemocrat.com
Call the newsroom at: 1(800)675-5056
until next time dear readers...
Thanks for sharing these stories, painful as they are to read. It's essential to keep people aware of the human rights violations being perpetrated, and to keep fighting for genuine justice.
I'm a Sonoma County resident as well. This pisses me off to no end. We are supposed to "get it" here. We support gay rights. We spit on idiot ignorant boobs. And yet, here we are, as bad as fucking Alabama.

Hey all....just found this site, and appreciate Jay's work, and the subsequent posts. When Prop8 passed, I dreamed up an art piece using the YesOn8 signs, and the piece has traveled up and down the state on display. I'm planning to take it to the courthouse steps for the closing arguments of the Prop8 trial, and I thought you all might appreciate it. It's a bit "in your face", but it also tends to give people a shot in the arm over the irrationality of Prop8. You can see the details on my website, which is http://scottterryprojects.com/Prop8.html .....I hope it becomes irrelevant at the conclusion of the trial. Best to everyone...Scott
Oh that is disgusting!! Rated and I'm reposting the link to this article everywhere I possibly can!! Thank you for sharing and getting the word out about this horrible and tragic incident.
Wow. This story makes me sick. I can't believe the county and state would ignore legal documents. I'm sharing this with everyone I can. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. This is the kind of story that deserves wide recoginition so we can put a stop to such illegal, discrimnatory, and callous practices.
Someone else mentioned that it's a case of greed. That's true reduced to the simplest terms. It is actually quite common for an institution like a hospital to seize property and hold it, indefinitely, to "protect" itself against the threat of financial loss when a person is incapacitated and placed in their care. Nothing justifies how these men were treated..it's an egregious case of neglect, disregard, and inhumane treatment, but our system is set up to defend and protect the finances of businesses before individual's rights. The people of Sonoma County may have voted to protect the rights of its individuals, but no hospital (nursing home), insurance company, bank, or any other institution is going to defer to an individual's rights when they can argue that their bottom line is at risk. And the courts side with them. So, yep, at the end of the day..it's greed. I would think this story is going to get very messy and even uglier as time passes and more details emerge.
I'm straight, and I can say there's intense outrage over this among straight people as well. Maybe this will be the catalyst to finally fixing some problems.
This is not ONLY a gay issue (though the court filing makes it clear that it clearly is that). It is also an issue of elder rights, and of unbridled power of the state over the individual (from the 14th Amendment is supposed to protect us).
And most of all, it is an issue of basic humanity.
The civil complaint is available here. It's even worse than the news story: http://www.nclrights.org/site/DocServer/Greene_v_Sonoma_County.pdf?docID=7461
Having read the entire court filing -- if the facts are as stated there, I believe there should also be criminal charges as well - elder abuse, elder financial abuse, and kidnapping.
But it is up to us to ensure that this doesn't happen again, anywhere. This is not how our government should treat people -- especially people who are unable to stand up for their rights.

Patty W-This should be a terrifying thought for anyone who is involved with assisting any elder through planninf of wills, estates, power of attorneys etc. If these legal documents can be ignored so completely in such a situation, what legal standing does anyone have? This should be very upsetting for anyone who is named as executor, trustee, power of attorney, or heir on any document.

Our two music awards editors -- Darrin Dortch and David Schnelwar -- agree on the winner of Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at this Sunday's Grammys.
Flo Rida f./ Sia - "Wild Ones"
Jay-Z & Kanye West f./ Frank Ocean & The Dream - "No Church In The Wild" -- Darrin, David
John Legend f./ Ludacris - "Tonight (Best I Ever Had)"
Nas f./ Amy Winehouse - "Cherry Wine"
Rihanna f./ Jay-Z - "Talk That Talk"
Darrin's analysis
The star power of Jay-Z, Kanye West, Frank Ocean and The Dream on "No Church in the Wild" should be enough to win here. The video is also nominated.
However, watch out for Nas and Amy Winehouse's "Cherry Wine." Voters gave Winehouse a posthumous Grammy last year.
David's analysis
Jay-Z, Kanye West and Frank Ocean lead with six Grammy nominations each.
Jay-Z is the biggest winner in this category with five. Kanye West has won this race three times.

Yvonne - 05/06/2001
Robert taught us this dance at a Workshop on 19 May, dressed in a very appropriate outfit specially made for the occasion! The dance is fantastic to both S Club 7 and Steps tracks. It went down a treat up here in the North of Scotland, as I am sure it will in all other parts. Hope to see this published in the not too distant future. Well done again Roberto!!

Love the music but found the dance a little complicated. We now do the 'Deadwood Stomp' from your dance database. This is a shorter, easier, just as much fun alternative...and you don't have to remember the tags! Your dance database came up trumps yet again, providing alternatives and a choice. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic combination of dance steps and music with an opportunity to let youself "fly" in the touch-point-cross ending. Have also tried this to the music from S-club 7 "Don't stop moving" (dance mix) and it goes very well with this too so if you haven't tried it - do so !
Lin - 02/06/2001
Easy dance,great for improver levels.The Madonna dance mix is the best track to use.

Lin - 02/06/2001
This is already a class favourite.Another great little dance from T & v - Well done!
Born To Fly
Jean Barlow - 02/06/2001
Nice dance, not difficult. California Blue music a bit slow though, try it to Roy Orbison's 'You Got It' which is slightly more upbeat and fits the dance well.

Today is National Butterscotch Day!
Do you like it?
Here's a recipe (of course)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup bourbon whiskey
8 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 quart half-and-half
2 cups pecan pieces
8 cups ½ inch Country White bread or Sourdough Bread cubes
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Preheat: oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 9x13"baking dish.
To make the butterscotch sauce, combine the brown sugar, butter, vanilla extract, and bourbon in a small saucepan over medium heat. Simmer the mixture, stirring until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth in consistency. Cool ½ cup and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, half-and-half, and the cooled butterscotch sauce. Fold in pecans and bread, transfer to the prepared dish, and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake 30 minutes, uncover, and then bake an additional 10 minutes. Gently shake the pan to make sure the pudding has set.
Serve with remaining butterscotch sauce, warmed, and powdered sugar.

This pattern had a good rhythm

I bought the kit for this hat. I loved the pattern, and it was easy to knit.
However, the yarn was another story. I loved the Bijou Basin Yak/Como yarn, but I realized as I was working with it, my hands and fingers became the color of the yarn. This caused me to set the work down (for a few months). I just recently decided to finish my frogged projects, so I picked this back up. I wasn't able to tell where I was in the pattern, so I ripped it out and started over.
The pattern is easy to follow, at one point I realized I dropped a stitch and had to pick it up. This did mess the visual pattern up in one area, but you can't tell, unless you know what you are looking for.
This was a fun easy project that took maybe 5 hours to knit.
I have received so many compliments on the hat.
The decreases worked perfectly for shaping the crown. Basically remember to decrease every other purl stitch.

I've made three of these and love them all. The pattern is just interesting enough to keep your attention while knitting up remarkably fast. I've made this in different blends and found my favorite was an alpaca/silk/merino blend in a dark tweed/fleck. Subtle color shifts throughout are all this crisp geometric pattern can take without becoming overwhelmed. It is truly a gender neutral hat.

Loved this pattern. I made one for one daughter and am now finishing my second with at least one more to go. They all say it is 'so warm' and 'cute'! I also had to tear out some until I got the hang or always knitting in the back of the stitch.

I fell in love with this hat the first time I saw it. The concept behind it and the pattern were stunning. Now I will admit that I started and ripped out 3 times before I got it past the first pattern repeat. After that it was smooth sailing and it turned out beautifully. My daughter has worn it this winter and tells me it is warm and brings many compliments.

I am a beginner and this was a good pattern for me to learn some new things such as following a chart and using a cable needle. One problem I had was that after completing the first decrease row there were 65 stitches left instead of 91 that the pattern says. To fix this I skipped a few rows to where it ends at 65 stiches. The hat came out fine and my daughter received some complements on the hat.

If you thought the iPad was gaining traction in enterprise, you haven't seen anything yet. That appears to be the view of Deutsche Bank Equity Research analyst Chris Whitmore, who believes that future 64-bit iPads could directly compete with PCs.
In a note to investors on Monday, Whitmore talked up corporate iPad deployments all the while describing back-to-school demand for Windows 8 devices as "tepid at best".
"We expect growing [desktop] virtualization and iPad deployments in the enterprise to pressure corporate PC sales through 2014-15," read an excerpt from the note (via CNET).
"We expect AAPL's [Apple's] iPad refresh to include 64 bit architecture, which should enable a greater array of enterprise app development and facilitate greater enterprise penetration over time."
The analyst is referring to reports that the upcoming iPad 5 – as well as potentially future versions of the iPad mini – will get Apple's 64-bit A7 processor, which already features in the new iPhone 5S.
Elsewhere in the note, Whitmore detailed how most enterprises will next upgrade their hardware in the second half of financial year 2013 – just months before Microsoft drops support for Windows XP – and claimed that PC vendors could discount Ultrabooks to try and get on level terms with tablet makers.
"Heading into the holidays, we expect PC vendors to increasingly position Windows 8 Ultrabooks against tablets on an ASP [average selling price] basis (i.e. <$500 Ultrabooks)."

Between the two traces, here's what I see in the Before vs After traces:
I'm not sure what to tell you that I haven't already, specifically that if you want to run these programs (specifically steam, origin, and utorrent), you'll have to live with the fact that the games engines you've installed are your major issue. I would also contend that running Daemon Tools for disc emulation isn't necessarily a wise choice for either performance or stability, and I would recommend Virtual CloneDrive instead (drivers are more stable, and program is much lighter overall). The system's disk I/O is somewhat slower due to antivirus install, but it appears to be a very small amount (adding 3 - 4 seconds of time to each phase of boot) that you would get with any antivirus program anyway, so I am excluding that as a major cause (and probably an unavoidable one - MSE is pretty light for an antivirus program, and should be used).
|My System Specs
|21 Dec 2011
That would 'cover' the problem but not fix it
I know I'm not crazy but before the last format (as I already said) I had the same programs, Steam, Origin, CCC, Daemon Tools, Xfire, Utorrent and Avast (now I have MSE) and my PC booted much faster, something must have broke, in the past it only took 30 secs and it's not normal with my specs to take 62.5 secs to boot, that's just insane , I had the same software before and never happened this, couldn't it be a problem regarding CPU, GPU , HD or with the floppy? ; It's not the only weird problem I had with my PC I have another one but that cannot be fixed until I change all my PC at once (but that's another story) , so it's not that strange that this kind of thing happens to me
By the way everytime I Log on I get this error in Event Viewer:
Event filter with query "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA "Win32_Processor" AND TargetInstance.LoadPercentage > 99" could not be reactivated in namespace "//./root/CIMV2" because of error 0x80041003. Events cannot be delivered through this filter until the problem is corrected.
I've tried looking it up but found nothing on Google.
|My System Specs

Given Windows boots fine without the software added, I would say it's not hardware. If it was hardware, it'd boot slowly in both scenarios (hence why I wanted you to test before and after). As I said, I completely understand that telling you what's wrong doesn't fix things, but at least we are certain (well, at least I am, it seems) that I know what's causing it. What you choose to do about the stuff you've added is up to you, ultimately. Like I said, I can't say how it used to work, nor do I have anything from your machine during the "working" time previously to compare it to so that I can pinpoint what's causing it. Origin is the biggest offender in slowing you down, then Steam, then uTorrent. I'll let the others answer here as to what those could be, as I am old and don't play games or download things from torrents, so I really have no experience with how those things should work or shouldn't.
As to the event log messages, it's been a wierd issue since Vista, but at least there's a KB article to fix it on Vista and Windows 7:
|My System Specs
|21 Dec 2011
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 SP1
senjougahara, it seems cluberti has specifically identified the cause of your issue. And yes, I know this setup worked in the past, but unfortunately is does not now. Is there even any reason to have Origin, Steam, and uTorrent starting at boot? Surely you could run these manually as needed? You can also set any that run as services to Automatic (Delayed Start), or, and I hesitate to recommend adding yet another program at startup, you can also use Startup Delayer to delay anything not needed at startup.
I know you want everything to work as it did before, but it appears that isn't going to happen. I don't believe cluberti could do anything more to help you as he has provided you with some facts that, while unpopular with you, are none the less facts. If you disable Origin, Steam, and uTorrent, even as a test, I believe you'll see the obvious difference. You might be better served asking on the Steam, or Origin forums why their programs are slowing your system down. I'd say it's time to punt, go around the problem, and enjoy your system. A Guy

4 servings
Prep Time
Cook Time
|3½ cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting
|½ teaspoon baking soda
|2 teaspoons fine sea salt
|3 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
|3 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme leaves
|1 stick (½ cup) butter, cut into ½-inch pieces, at room temperature
|¾ cup water, plus extra, as needed
|2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Combine the flour, baking soda, salt, rosemary, and thyme in the bowl of an upright mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment. Add the butter and mix on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. With the machine running, slowly add the water until the mixture forms a dough, adding more water, if needed, 1 tablespoon at a time. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead for 5 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough into 4 equal pieces. Form into disc shapes and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes. Place a grill pan over medium-high heat or preheat a gas or charcoal grill. On a lightly floured work surface, roll out each piece of dough into an 8 to 10-inch circle, about 1/8-inch thick. Brush each circle with olive oil and grill for 4 minutes each side. Remove the flatbread from the grill and cool slightly before serving.

Heritage - The Las Vegas Racquet Club
Ann & John Miller's eyes met over the bar of a vintage soda shop when they were only in high school. They basked in the sun on the California beaches performing gymnastics stunts and body building techniques. John says that he invented the 6 pack abs! He won every body building competition that he entered begining when he was only 14 years old!
They married in 1949 on Christmas Eve and quickly signed John up for the Olympics. Unfortunately, they couldn't afford to send him so he won Mr. America...not to shabby! They proceeded to have four gorgeous little girls and John was an engineer for the local Pamona fire department.
After visiting the Palm Springs Racquet Club, they purchased 22 acres and moved to Las Vegas in 1962 in hopes of creating a tennis oasis in the desert. They were shockingly successful from the beginning, quickly becoming know around the globe that the Las Vegas Racquet Club was the place to be when you were staying and performing in Vegas!
The gorgeous Miller couple hosted the most famous celebrities, politicians, and even mob bosses of their time for several decades! In the 80's, their daughter Christi watched as Tricia Nixon got married in the gardens of the White House. She was inspired by the fledgling Martha Stewart and told her parents that she was going to turn the facility into an exclusive wedding venue! We are now in our 50th year of hosting amazing events and hope to continue for many, many more generations to come!

November 11. I can only sit here and try to imagine what those soldiers, what the people of this world, felt when all was ceased.
I don't need November 11 to remind me of the freedom I have at the expense of others. I'm reminded every morning when I wake up safe and sound, I'm reminded when I can dress how I like, I'm reminded when I pick up my bible with freedom to read Gods word, I'm reminded when I leave my house and walk the streets, I'm reminded when I am in society living amongst others, I'm reminded just being a woman who is able to vote, I'm reminded each and every time I enter church, I'm reminded right now writing these things and sharing them with you.
Lest we forget the other 364 days of the year as we live in freedom.
I am so thankful for what complete strangers have done and have sacrificed for me.
Let us remember everyday and not take it for granted.
Thank you soldiers. Thank you to both my grandfathers who sacrificed their lives, thank you.
Remember, lest we forget the other 364 days we live in freedom.

No-Piece Geometric Quilt Part Two
Hey guys! It's Alexis back with part two of my No-Piece Geometric Quilt Tutorial (be sure to go check out part one here). The great thing about this quilt is that it works up fairly quickly (compared to a traditional quilt) because there is no piecing involved! The top and bottom are both flat sheets, which means you can get to quilting right away, but quilting in triangle and zig zag patterns still gives the quilt lots of pattern and texture. When we left off at the end of part one, the quilting was done and it was time to finish [&hellip

Looking to 2013 Anna Bartula, the executive director of the Parkdale Business Improvement Area (BIA), has her strategic plan in place and there are set to be some changes this year: Street festivals and a kindness campaign are in, while Nuit Blanche and those distinct jute shopping bags branded with the Parkdale BIA's logo are out.
"The approach this year is to do smaller programs more often," Bartula said. Primarily, Bartula said the BIA will look at what is happening in the community and promote and piggyback on the initiatives that already exist as opposed to starting them from scratch.
A timeline with bullet points and post-it notes lines the wall in the BIA office at 1313 Queen Street West. Initiatives will be spread throughout the year, specifically so they line up more clearly with the retail calendar.
"There are certain times throughout the year that are the most important for retailers," she said. "There are times that are really busy and times that are really slow."
Bartula said it's important to support businesses through busy and slow times. The BIA targets programs and events that will appeal to its entire membership.
One of the first events for the new year will be celebrating the anniversary of Parkdale's incorporation as a Village, which happened on Jan. 1, 1879. The BIA will coincide the launch of its new website with the anniversary.
The BIA has also created a new emblem for window decals to be displayed on member businesses' windows, which will be rolled out in January. In the spring there will be a street event called 'Spring into Parkdale' where member businesses will be encouraged to have sales and samplings.
"We have some really great plans like apple cider and all kinds of wonderful things that encourage families and people to walk the strip," Bartula said.
The new year will see the BIA re-design promotional materials and produce a new shopping bag to be handed out. The BIA will continue with its partnership with Parkdale Collegiate Institute to participate in the CONTACT Photography Festival in May, a program the BIA started in 2011 to give students an opportunity to show their work during the festival.
In June, Bartula said the BIA will launch a "kindness campaign" where a street team of hired ambassadors will be interacting with business members, residents and people on the street.
"Maybe doing a little sweeping of the streets... opening doors for people, paying for parking, handing out free newspapers," Bartula said. This summer, the Lab Cab Festival will be moving to Parkdale July 27th and 28th, 2013, according to Bartula and the BIA is on board to be one of the sponsors of the annual, two-day multi-arts festival.
Aviva Armour-Ostroff, one of the organizers of Lab Cab, said they will be using many businesses between Roncesvalles and Dufferin as performance venues, including Mascot Cafe, Coriander Girl and FiXt Point Studios.
Bartula said the BIA's involvement in Lab Cab will replace the late winter festival Fireside Culture Week, which the BIA hosted for the past four years. The BIA will continue to participate in the Queen West Art Crawl in September, but Bartula said Nuit Blanche is off the roster of events for 2013.
For the past few years, the Parkdale BIA hosted a significant Nuit Blanche installation called LEITMOTIF, but Bartula said that because it is a nighttime festival and most of the BIA's member businesses are closed at night, the BIA will not be continuing with installations.
Wrapping up the year of activities, Bartula said in the winter of 2013 the BIA will host a street-focused celebration similar to the one in the spring.
Just a few months at the helm of the BIA, Bartula said she will also put the mechanisms in place to evaluate and measure the success of programs the Parkdale BIA does, which will help the organization plan for future years.

May 24, 2007
As the U.S. military continues to fight insurgents and terrorists in the middle east, another battle is being waged on the internet. Terrorists have become increasingly more sophisticated and organized in cyberspace.
"It is a tremendous weapon on this new battlefield of information" said Greg Saathoff, Executive Director of the Critical Incident Analysis Group at UVa.
Saathoff is one of the main authors of a congressional report showing that extremist Islamic groups consider the keyboard as important as a rifle.
"The impact of the internet more and more is just as much or more impact than some of their other tactics including weapons" said Saathoff.
Propaganda, recruiting, fundraising and even researching potential targets are just some of the ways these groups are utilizing the web.
"Also it's used as a covert communication source for the terrorists to communicate amongst each other or provide plans back and forth between different groups" said FBI special agent Steve Duenas.
Communication that is even done on legitimate websites. By using sub-directories on these websites terrorists can hide training manuals, and because it's cyberspace anyone is vulnerable.
"We in Charlottesville are just as high a probability of being victimized as anybody" said Duenas.
And while the internet has proved a useful tool in everyday life Duenas warns to keep an eye out for anything suspicious.
"Most people don't realize that the internet is a great source of information but it can be very dangerous" said Duenas.
