Minimum Health or Maximum Health? That is the Question!

December 31, 2008

Picture yourself in one of the following scenarios.

You’re cruising along in your new car by the ocean or in the mountains near the ski lodge, or just a leisurely drive through a beautiful forest or in the country. You stop and smell the fresh air you hear the scenic sounds. You are at peace.

You’re relaxing on the patio of your new home - you see the mountains or lake in the distance. Your friends are over as you barbecue in your new back yard. Everyone loves your new home. Or you’re out on the lake in your new boat with family or friends. Feel the breeze in your face - smell the fresh scents in the air.

Picture yourself on vacation - you are on the deck of a cruise ship - you are on the top deck under the stars. You feel the warm tropic breeze in your face. The full moon is reflecting off the water as you are holding the one you love in your arms.

We analyze the lives most of us actually have and what our lives could be and the role they play!

The question is who would want only minimum health (or worse) when they could have maximum health!

Maximum health is like you feel when you ask that special someone for a date for the first time and they say yes!
Minimum health is when you ask that special someone out and they tell you, that is the Saturday night when they have to do the laundry and wash their hair!

Picture maximum health as cruising next to the ocean in a sport car convertible with your lover next to you..
Picture minimum health as stuck in traffic in your 10-year-old station wagon with the air conditioner broken.

Maximum health is like being on a honeymoon on your own private beach in Hawaii. Running down the beach at night with the one you love with the warm tropic wind in your hair. The huge moon shining down on the palm trees and the tranquil bay.

Minimum health is stuck working overtime in an un-airconditioned office with a huge pile of paperwork stacked on your desk. In walks your boss - the one with all the personality of a geek with BO. He can’t stand going home to his abusive wife so he works 14 hour days and gives dirty looks to his employees when they leave before him. Your boss starts yelling about some stupid unfinished report…

Minimum health is like living paycheck to paycheck - just getting by, just barely having enough money to pay the bills each month. Minimum health is like Darling we have a little extra this month - would you like to go out to eat at McDonalds and get a Big Mac?

Maximum health is sailing away on a cruise ship to the Caribbean with the one you love while dining in elegance each evening!

Sure the above minimum health situations aren’t going to kill you (or at least not immediately), but is this the way you want to live your life? Do you really want to just scrape by when there is an option? Let’s examine the statement …aren’t going to kill you or at least not immediately.

Minimum health is simply the current absence of real illness or disease. Often people in minimum health are often too tired or sluggish to do things, they are overweight, etc. They don’t feel real bad but they sure don’t feel terrific. And what about our statement, some would argue that the above minimum health scenarios lead to premature and even a slow death!

Actually the attitude of minimum health is like too many other attitudes we have. We are always too willing to sell ourselves short. We are too willing to settle for second best even when we don’t have to. Too often this attitude can flow over into our jobs and relationships. This over the course of a lifetime can cause us much unhappiness and cost us a lot of money.

But the real issue here is minimum versus maximum health and what are we doing to strive toward maximum health? For example do you take high quality nutritional supplements or are you depending on the fast and processed foods to get all your nutrients? I would encourage you to take high quality vitamin and nutritional supplements with enzymes, antioxidants and dietary fiber along with exercise and weight management on a daily basis to strive toward maximum health.

Microsoft Dynamics AX - Axapta - Technical Notes Plus Customization

Axapta or current name Microsoft Dynamics AX has one of the newest ERP design and architecture among Microsoft Business Solutions, Oracle and SAP ERP families. Microsoft Axapta targets upper mid-market and would like to suggest you consider Axapta even if you represent large corporation - the idea of using one-step-down ERP is great and is in the stream of current ideas about deploying reliable MRP, sitting in excellent database platform and customize it for your specific needs, rather then paying for high-end ERP and use only portion of the functionality available (and in this case already paid for). Axapta customization options, such as MorphX/X++, SQL database scripting, end-user tuning and customization tools, to name a few. Currently Microsoft Business Solutions promotes Axapta in all the traditional (USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand) and new/emerging markets: East Europe, Russia, Asia, Middle East, Africa, Brazil, Latin America. Among other market niches, Axapta is targeting multinational corporations, when they have to implement ERP, automating headquarters in Germany, France, Belgium, Canada and their overseas manufacturing subsidiaries: Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Venezuela. We are launching a set of technical articles about Axapta, MorphX/X++ with sample coding and customization scenarios. In this article you will see the introduction.

• Recent VAR Incentives. 2004/2005. This was the time, when major US VARs decided to invest into Axapta consultants training & certification. At the same time we could see certain signs from Microsoft, when it localized Axapta for challenging emerging regional markets, such as Brazil, where taxation is complicated and unique. In December 2005 Microsoft demoed Axapta in So Paulo office to local partners - mostly specializing in Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Navision implementation.

• UK & Europe. Navision Software has traditionally strong positions in Europe, and this is not a surprise, that we see very good market redistribution signs, giving green light to Axapta sales & implementations. Microsoft partners, traditionally strong in Navision heading into Axapta promotion to their prospects and existing clientele.

• LATAM & Brazil. Axapta has advantages when we consider corporate clients, especially manufacturing, drilling & mining facilities of multinational corporations and international mid-size companies, Very good interest is seen in Venezuela (oil drilling), Columbia (textile), Bolivia (timber), Chili and Argentina.

• What is the next? When Oracle is in the process of launching its Fusion project, to some extend resembling Microsoft Project Green or Currently Microsoft Dynamics project, SAP R/3 has Mendocino initiative with Microsoft, Microsoft itself has very good chances to open up corporate ERP market with Microsoft Dynamics AX - Axapta

Have You Downloaded Firefox Yet?

December 30, 2008

The internet browser market has long been dominated by Internet Explorer, but a new kid on the block — Firefox — is making strong inroads against the Microsoft product’s dominance. To date, over 75 million copies of Firefox have been downloaded by users around the world. Here are some reasons why you should replace Explorer with Firefox.

1. No Pop Ups. Unlike Explorer, Firefox has a nifty pop up blocker in place. No more garbage to fill your screen as you search the internet with Firefox. Can’t say the same for Explorer, however.

2. Your Security. Spyware, trojan horses, and ActiveX controls are stopped in their tracks. Explorer limits through unreliable third party downloads.

3. Quick Downloading. Downloading files is a snap as they are done quickly and painlessly. Once Firefox completes the download you will be prompted to clean up [remove] unneeded files.

4. Tabbed Browsing. Surfing the internet is easier as users can open up one window and set tabs for quick access to multiple web pages. Specifically, all your browser windows actually work within one window, each marked by tabs that you can click in and out of with ease.

5. Tons of extensions, themes, and plug-ins. You can customize Firefox to work the way you want it to work. Download an ad blocker, a new toolbar, a special theme, or include plug-ins such as Adobe Reader, Windows Media Player, Shockwave, Flash Player, and more.

Firefox is not perfect, but it goes a long way further than Explorer in giving users an enjoyable internet experience. For this reason alone, it is worth being downloaded by you.

Name That Tree

I’m native to the European Alps, you know, where the great discovery of Otzi, the 5,300-year old man was made in 1991, and also the Balkan mountains, as well as the Carpathians near the Black Sea. My normal range extends north to the country which gives me my name and I merge with the “obovata” specie of my genus in northern Russia. Introduced to the British Isles as early as 1500 AD, I am now widely planted in North America, particularly in the northeastern United States.

I have quite a range if I say so myself: I grow well in in southern Canada from Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia all the way across to Vancouver Island. In America, I grow well in the Pacific Coast states, and in the Rocky Mountains. I’m in naturalized populations from Connecticut to Michigan and where altitude makes it cool for me, I’ll grow in the mountains of the Appalachians as far south as Georgia as well as New Mexico and Arizona’s northern mountains.

I grow with fir trees, or with hickory and oak trees, as well as maple, beech and birch trees, or aspen and birch trees. I grow quickly, especially when I’m young, the fastest of any of the trees in my taxonomic family.

My record height was in The Olympic National Park of Washington State at 143 feet, but my normal mature height in the area of http://www.highlandhillfarm.com southeastern Pennsylvania is 80 to 100 feet. My form or profile shape is conical with horizontal to upward sweeping branches that often droop small branchlets (”Profeeele” as Jackie Gleason’s best friend Ed Norton used to say on the classic TV comedy which ran from 1952-1969 constantly repeating the same 39 episodes). My drooping pendulous branchlets make a uniquely attractive sort of skirt, hanging straight down as much as several feet in length, especially on my upper limbs. This is a rare feature very few trees can say they have. Leaves on my branches are stiff, 1/2 to 1 inch long, 4-angled but somewhat flattened, with a sharp pointed tip, shiny deep green and a mere sixteenth of an inch in diameter. Each one is borne on a raised, woody peg (sterigma). Diameter, you ask? Are my leaves the needles of an evergreen tree?

My flowers are monoecious; males are yellow-brown in large groups with my females upright, and purple-colored.

My fruits are very large, almost cylindrical cone-shapes, 4 to 6 inches long, with stiff, thin scales that are irregularly toothed, chestnut brown, maturing in fall.

My branches have twigs which are slender to medium in size, lacking “hair,” tree fur, with a shiny orangish red-brown surface. The leaves or needles are borne on woody pegs with buds that are very loose. The orange-brown scales resemble a rose. As my twigs develop into full branches my bark progresses from the orange red-brown into darker and darker shades eventually becoming a flaking scaly gray with plates as much as a few inches in area that can fall off. Just like people all continually lose their outer later of skin, you could say I too “exfoliate.” Soil requirements I make are rather liberal. I prefer moist, well-drained, acidic sort of soil which can be loamy to sandy. But I’ll grow well in dry, rocky, even claylike (argillaceous, you could say and impress your friends) ground too. I grow most anywhere, just check my range again, as I described above. Okay, so I won’t grow in the desert. Or in a swamp, on the other side of the coin, the other end of the spectrum I WILL DIE if the ground is overly WET. I like rain. You see, we trees can like water, enjoying lotsa rain, while NOT wanting soil that stays wet. There is a difference for us there. Please note, I am ESPECIALLY drought tolerant. You don’t have to worry about watering me. Partial shade is okay, even if I do prefer full sun. I’ll grow happily in hardiness zones 3 through 7, where the coldest temperatures can get as low as 40 degrees BELOW Zero, or relatively mild winter lows get down to just 10 degree above zero, like in Virginia or Kentucky. For Bucks County, in southeastern Pennsylvania, my temperature preferences are positively perfect (How’s that for a little alliteration? See, I’m a pretty smart tree too.) Insects and diseases generally don’t bother me. Only Cooley Spruce Gall Aphids will get me and mess up my flowers, my cones, and the spider mites which bother other trees can affect me too. Yet, these two troublemakers don’t come near to killing me. I’m relatively inexpensive to purchase as compared to imported fruit trees. I make a great landscaping tree, I’m proud to say I’m ornamental, and make a great windbreak or snowbreak along walkways and driveways. So, whaddya say? Ya got enough information fer sure. What tree am I? If you think you know go to my web site at http://www.seedlingsrus.com and get my email address. Email me the answer and when you come to our farm I will give you a free one. We have 500 these trees to give out by Feb. 27th 2006. (Residents of Doylestown Township will get a free tree even if they guess wrong.)

Poker Cheating

When playing poker, one must always be aware of cheats. When playing online, the number of people that don’t play fair is significantly reduced. The dealer can’t be bought because the dealer is a program, that randomly deals the cards and programs don’t care about money, they can’t cheat or have preferences. Unlike real life poker, online poker doesn’t have real cards, so no one can trick you by hiding them down their sleeves or swapping them somehow. Those abilities mean zero here.

Let’s talk a little about hackers, the ones that are so feared amongst some online poker players. In the past, way back there were hacker’s attacks. But many years passed since then and all technologies have improved. If a hacker should try to somehow turn the odds in his favor or influence the program, he wouldn’t be able pass all the way through the poker rooms. Like thieves are stopped in real casinos by security, so are harmful programs stopped by the protection software every online poker room has.

But there is a form of online cheating and it is manifested by players talking to each other, it is a type of player conspiracy. The players involved would tell each other what cards they have and evaluate together the odds, trying to make one of them win. The winnings will be eventually split between them. In real poker rooms this is impossible, but online they can talk on the phone or be sited at adjacent computers.

Luckily the majority of these players are beginners and they are not doing it to cheat the others, but simply because they don’t know how to play or what to do. They don’t know the power they are holding, so they pose no real threat. Anyway there are ways to stop them. Online poker sites usually check players that use the same IP or play at the same time every time in the same poker rooms. If spotted in any of these situations they are either banner or warned or even kicked from the rooms. As this can only be a coincidence, sites do not ban payers before really looking into the situation.

So, here are some thinks to spot when you want to see if you are cheated.

1. Some players that try to get the others players to leave the game. They will raise each other so that they can be left alone in the game.

2. Players that don’t play quick pre-flop. They might be having someone to protect or someone they are teamed with.

But it is very rare to met real online cheaters. If you think they cheat, do not under any circumstance accuse them directly of cheating. Just follow their actions and contact the webmaster, he will deal with this. Or, if you don’t want to get into any complications, just leave that room and enter another one.

Are Glyconutrients Right For You?

December 25, 2008

Glyconutrients are part of the carbohydrate family. They are a collection of 8 saccharides. These are important factors in the body’s ability to fight infections and heal itself.

There are 8 necessary saccharides needed by our bodies

• Mannose
 • Glucose
 • Galactose
 • Xylose
 • Fucose (not fructose)
 • N-acetylglucosamine
 • N-acetylneuramic acid
 • N-acetylgalactosamine

These elements form the building blocks for glycoforms. Which serve as coverings for the body’s cells. Each has specific benefits for your health.

Mannose: is the main saccharide and the others are attached to it. Mannose plays a major role in building cells, and cell interaction. Other benefits include helping the body heal itself and improving the immune system. Mannose is a major factor in manufacturing cytokines. Cytokines are used by the body’s immune system to fight infections. The Mannose phytochemical can be found in the Aloe Vera plant’s inner leaf gel.

Glucose: is the most commonly known of the group. Table sugar is made up of this and other saccharides. Glucose is found in sugar products such as candy bars cake and ice cream. Elements are found in vegetables as well. Glucose can be absorbed directly into the blood stream and for this reason is widely used for a quick absorbing strong form of fast acting energy. Excessive amounts of glucose can lead to health problems such as obesity.

Galactose: Is usually found in combination with glucose in a saccharide known as lactose which is a disaccharide found in milk and other dairy products. It is also used in the body’s healing processes. It also decreases inflammation.

Xylose: is a carbohydrate with antibacterial and antifungal properties. Some manufacturers use it instead of sucrose and corn sweeteners in toothpaste and chewing gum because it does not harm your teeth.

Fucose: is found in human breast milk and some types of mushrooms. Research has shown fucose to be helpful in brain development and memory. It also helps the immune system

N-acetylglucosamine: also helps the immune system. It produces Glucosamine, used in cartilage. It helps to repair, and reduce inflammation in cartilage and also helps the digestive tract. This is also found in human breast milk.

N-acetylneuramic acid: is used in the learning process and brain development. It helps with many blood functions and improves the immune system. The levels of this saccharide decrease, as we get older. It is found in breast milk.

N-acetylgalactosamine: is another ingredient in breast milk. Research is still being done on this saccharide. It has been shown to help with cell interaction and communication

These Glyconutrients are found in some fruits and vegetables. Unfortunately due to soil depletions and processing of foods these vital nutrients (except glucose) are no longer prevalent in foods as they once were. This has resulted in shortage in the body of these saccharides and has led to the deterioration of our health. We must become aware of these vital elements and ensure that we are getting enough of them in our diets to ensure our good health.

Zach Thompson is a Glyconutrients Consultant. His clients range from pro athletes and actresses, to cancer patients and children with Learning Disabilities. To learn if glyconutrients can help you, visit: http://www.nutritionalreview.com/79.php
