My Sister's Keeper



Couldn't control my tears when watching. A real 5 stars movie.

USB Windows 7

USE UltraISO 9 !!!

1. Simply insert your USB pen.
2. Open any win XP, Vista or Windows 7 ISO in UtraISO,
3. Select “Bootable” and “Write Disk Image”.

REMEMBER to double check the drive letter ;-)

Thats it !!
And it also works on USB disks etc.
Windows 7 installs in 7 minutes.


An other way to create a bootable USB drive to install W7 from is:
Format the drive from a Vista/W7 machine:
CMD
FORMAT F: /FS NTFS (where F: is of course your USB drive)

Activate the first partition on tht drive:
Start DISKPART
LIST DISK
SELECT DISK x (where x is the drivenumber shown from the previous command)
SELECT PARTITION 1
ACTIVE
EXIT

Mount your newly downloaded ISO from Microsoft with Daemon tools or other mount-tool
Place a W7 bootsector on the drive:
Z: (where Z: is your cdrom drive where the ISO is mounted)
CD \BOOT
BOOTSECT /NT60 F:

Now copy all of the files of the mounted cdrom to the USB drive
XCOPY Z:\ F:\ /S/E

Now boot from the USB drive to install W7!

Healthy live

Exercise is an essential component of healthy living. It not only increases the level of HDL (“good”) cholesterol in the blood, but also reduces the level of LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. In addition, it helps us to maintain our weight within a healthy range, lower our blood sugar levels, and improve our overall cardiovascular fitness. A physically active person is approximately 1.5 times less likely to develop heart disease and 30-50% less likely to be hypertensive. Conversely, lack of exercise may leave a person more vulnerable to developing diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity. Fortunately, exercise need not be overly strenuous before we are able to derive health benefits from it. Just 20 minutes of physical activity (for instance, brisk walking, aerobic dancing, swimming) at least three times a week can substantially reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

What is BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It is used a measure of body fat in adults and help assess whether you are at risk for weight-related health problems. A healthy BMI for adults is between 18.5 and 22.9.

You measure your BMI as shown:

BMI =
______Your Weight (kg)_______
Height (metres) x Height (metres)

BMI (kg/m2) (for adults)

Risk of Heart Disease and Diabetes

27.5 and above

High Risk

23.0 – 27.4

Moderate Risk

18.5 – 22.9

Low Risk (healthy range)

Less than 18.5

Risk of nutritional deficiency diseases and osteoporosis

HDL cholesterol (the good stuff) and more LDL and triglycerides (both bad)

The American Heart Association has set guidelines for triglyceride levels:

<150

<1.69

Normal range, low risk

150-199

1.70-2.25

Borderline high

2.26-5.65

High

>500

>5.65

Very high: high risk


The International Diabetes Federation and American College of Endocrinology recommend HbA1c values below 6.5%, while American Diabetes Association recommends that the HbA1c be below 7.0% for most patients. A high HbA1c represents poor glucose control. Persistent elevations in blood sugar (and therefore HbA1c) increase the risk for the long-term vascular complications of diabetes such as coronary disease, heart attack, stroke, heart failure, kidney failure, blindness, erectile dysfunction, neuropathy (loss of sensation, especially in the feet), gangrene, and gastroparesis (slowed emptying of the stomach). Poor blood glucose control also increases the risk of short-term complications of surgery such as poor wound healing.

The approximate mapping between HbA1c values and average blood glucose measurements over the previous 4-12 weeks is shown in the table.

Typical values for a resting, healthy adult human are approximately 120 mmHg systolic and 80 mmHg diastolic (written as 120/80 mmHg, and spoken as "one twenty over eighty")
