10 Best Free Online Virtual Room Programs and Tools
Check out our updated review on a fantastic room design software company here. This company not only designs your space, but allows you to purchase the furniture and decor from you design.
We hope you like the products we recommend. Just so you are aware, Freshome may collect a share of sales from the links on this page.
Wouldn't it be great if you could see what your design ideas actually look like before you implement them? You can — for free! There's no need to buy computer programs, books or tutorials; simply read this list of the best free online virtual programs for planning and designing your home.
We found the programs below to be easy to use without prior knowledge of using space planning software. They also allow you to accomplish more than one task, such as choosing from a gallery of decor and finishes and laying out rooms and spaces. Most importantly, they are all free.
Try out paint color and move walls, all without buying a thing! But first, be sure to read 10 Floor Plan Mistakes and How To Avoid Them In Your Home.
1. Planner 5D
Planner 5D is the most extensive free room-design tool on the market. It's easy to design rooms down to the smallest architectural details, including windows, stairs and partitions. Don't stop at interiors; it also lets you do landscaping and pools, all with stunning 3D graphics.
2. Roomstyler 3D Home Planner
If you want to upload your own floor plan, or play around with preloaded floor plans, this program is for you. The Roomstyler 3D Home Planner (formerly My Deco 3D Planner) allows you to insert walls, doors and windows and select from a gallery of interior finishes.
The interface is relatively simple to use, and allows you to view your plan and 3D image at the same time. You can move the camera around the plan to see different views, and even paint the walls and ceilings from an extensive color selection.
Real products are used for inserting into your model. You can choose from small kitchen appliances to garden tools in your garage. If you love the decor you put into your rendered model, click on the "Available for purchase" button and you can find out the price, and where to buy the real objects for your own home.
You can use the software without joining, or join and upload your model to your Facebook wall for your friends to see. A free app is also available.
3. Ikea Home Planner Tools
When you flip through the Ikea catalog, do you ever wish you could see how, say, a certain bookshelf and desk would look in your space? You can! Its free, easy-to-use home planner tools allow you to configure your floor plan, choose from the store's gallery of furniture and decor, calculate the cost, and then print out and take the list to your local Ikea store.
4. Ikea Kitchen Planner
You can also use Ikea's planner tool specifically for your kitchen; it allows you to preview appliances, cabinetry and other Ikea kitchen components all on your computer. This program also lets you itemize a shopping list of the Ikea components so you can see how much your new kitchen will cost.
By entering your current dimensions and openings (doors and windows), you can plan how the space will work and see which of the store's cabinetry, appliances and organizational products will meet your needs.
5. Design a Room
Do you hate having to take home dozens of material samples at several stores to try out all the combinations in your space? Problem solved. Armstrong has a nice 3D virtual program that allows you to see different color combinations of flooring, cabinetry, ceilings, walls and even countertops from the comfort of your home.
Design a Room allows you to choose a room in your home, pick a style (contemporary, traditional, global fusion) and play around with colors, textures and finishes. Choosing finishes in a room can be a daunting task, but this program allows you to choose from Armstrong's entire inventory of finishes. You can even coordinate Sherwin Williams, PPG and Benjamin Moore paint colors to go with your cherry hardwood or onyx ceramic tile floor.
This design tool is for those of you who want to see the result before redesigning a room (and before paying a dime). The best thing about this free tool is the ability to learn about the products before you buy them. For example, when designing a bathroom, you might see a note saying hardwood flooring isn't recommended. This ensures that your room will not only look cool, but also be functional.
6. Autodesk Homestyler
Autodesk, creator of AutoCAD, REVIT and 3ds Studio Max, is known for its professional design programs for designing buildings, 3D building information modeling and 3D rendering capabilities. It also has a great program for planning home/office/apartment spaces called Homestyler.
This user-friendly program doesn't require formal training like the other professional programs the company offers. To make floor plans, simple drag-and-drop functions allow you to create dimension and even make angled walls within your design.
Doors and windows come in a variety of choices and require no prior knowledge of types, clearances, etc. Homestyler's 3D floor planner and 3D room designer tools can be used by a first timer; professionals can purchase the Homestyler PRO version.
The furnish and decorate tool allows you to choose cabinetry, appliances, furniture and nearly every decor item you can think of. Then personalize your space with area rugs and finish items by several manufacturers. Once your design is complete, you can print it out.
7. The Home Renovator
For those who want to do it yourself, the next few programs are for you. After you have planned out how the spaces will look, you are ready to start buying the materials and getting started, right? The Home Renovator lets you choose from among insulation, drywall, paint, ceramic tile, ceiling tile and deck (design/build) projects.
You can use the site's free worksheets to measure your space, enter your measurements and review your tool requirements. You'll then get a report that tells you how much material is required for your project; a budget price that can be used to negotiate with local dealers; and illustrated instructions that show cutting and placement of materials.
8. Sweet Home 3D
This 3D software is ideal for those who want more customization options to the average room and decor space planning program. The online software is free (login and some information is required). A more advanced version of Sweet Home 3D can also be downloaded for saving, exporting and manipulation of your home plans.
The interface has four sections. The furniture catalog allows you to choose components by name, then drag and drop components directly into the floor plan. The home furniture list displays the dimensions of each piece by name and size.
The home plan shows you in a 2D format where the walls, windows, doors and furniture are placed (as viewed from above). The home 3D view shows your plan in three dimensions so you can visualize the plan as you design.
To bring in your floor plan, import it into Sweet Home 3D, scale it and trace over your plan so you don't have any guesswork. This program can be simple, but it has advanced features for those who want more from their 3D virtual planning experience.
9. SmartDraw
Smartdraw is a suite of programs for visual graphics and presentations, including project charts, timelines, marketing charts and flow charts. Under the flow-chart application are floor plans and individual room plans.
This program allows you to design, customize and present drawings on a beginner and professional level. Use it to plan office space, apartments, individual rooms and even building elevations. SmartDraw is ideal for individuals or a business that doesn't want to spend a lot for design software. It has a free trial period, and if you're satisfied you can purchase the full program.
With an almost infinite selection of furniture, cars, building materials and preloaded plans, SmartDraw offers a lot of bang for the buck. If you are computer-savvy and enjoy adding a multitude of content and specifications to your design, this program is ideal for you.
10. HomeByMe
HomeByMe is a downloadable free room-planning tool. Start in 2D and build your room from the ground up, finishing with furniture and accessories. Once you're ready, convert it to 3D, where the walls fall away and you can look inside the interior design plan you created.
There are plenty of free online 3D virtual programs that will allow you to plan, design, draw and view your space. Depending on your skill level, objective and how you want to present your final drawings, there is a program perfect for you.
Whether you want to play around or start building a home to your personal specifications, this list of top 10 best free online virtual programs and tools will help you get started.

Apple and IBM Team Up to Bring Apps, i-Products to the Enterprise
Tech giants Apple and International Business Machines today announced a huge partnership that brings together two long-time competitors and ushers Apple, long known for its focus on the end-user, into the enterprise arena.
In the partnership, Apple and IBM engineers plan to develop more than 100 industry-specific business applications specifically for iPhones and iPads that will run on Apple's iOS platform. IBM will sell Apple products with those built-in apps to its clients across the globe. Apple will also add more services to its AppleCare program to support enterprise customers.
The deal underscores Apple's push to expand the iPhone and iPad's reach into companies, while IBM looks to move more of its business software onto mobile devices increasingly used by employees, reports the WSJ's Daisuke Wakabayashi. Companies from Barclays PLC to Procter & Gamble have rolled out iPads for their employees.
For CIOs, the partnership could radically change the way they deploy and use Apple products within their businesses. Corporate technology leaders have said that Apple can do more to make it easier for companies to manage iPhones and iPads, particularly when it comes to management capabilities like the ability to load pre-configured applications and better interoperability with software from the likes of Microsoft The deal could perhaps make them more comfortable pursuing a mobile-first strategy.
This is a huge strategy shift for Apple. While the company has done much to accommodate CIO needs for such things as access and security controls, it is still perceived as being emphatically focused on the end user experience, leaving CIOs to figure out how to deal with the technology in the business. Steve Jobs' comment about CIOs being the "orifice" of an organization, probably did not help matters. Under CEO Tim Cook, there has been some success selling to corporate technology managers. Still, as the Journal notes, IBM has much deeper ties in that world.
"Apple is not an enterprise company, but that's not their DNA. It is IBM's DNA and IBM has had those relationships forever," Gartner analyst Van Baker told the WSJ. "It's an unlikely combination but a very strong one if they can pull it off."
That doesn't mean Apple isn't deployed in the corporate world, though. The Journal reported earlier this year that Apple won about 8% of global business and government spending on computers and tablets in 2012, according to Forrester Research, up from 1% in 2009. The numbers excluded the iPhone, which may be the most widely purchased Apple product by corporate customers.
The deal could also be a blow to competitors like Blackberry Ltd. and Microsoft Corp., who focus heavily on selling to enterprises. Earlier this year, Microsoft announced the availability for its flagship Office software for iPad.

Folau quits AFL, Eels lie in wait
Star rugby league convert Israel Folau has confirmed he will leave the AFL after two seasons with Greater Western Sydney.
The 23-year-old fronted a Greater Western Sydney news conference on Thursday to announce he was leaving the club.
Folau announced in June, 2010 he was joining the Giants and he played 13 games for them this year in their debut AFL season. He averaged just six possessions and one tackle per game. Playing as a key forward and occasional ruckman, he booted only two goals, and cut a forlorn figure as he struggled to read the game.
Although he had minimal on-field impact, securing Folau was a marketing coup for the AFL and their latest expansion team.
Giants chief executive David Matthews said the club supported the decision. He wished Folau all the best for the future saying he would a "friend of the Giants forever".
He described Folau's first season as containing "significant achievements', saying he was part of the team's first win against the Gold Coast Suns, and showed his best form in his final game, a loss to North Melbourne in round 23.
Matthews claimed Folau had "showed all the skill and flair required" to make it in the AFL.
He described Folau's decision as "courageous" and said his club supported that decision. He said Folau was an "exceptionally popular person" at the Giants but the club was "not going to stand in his way."
Giants coach Kevin Sheedy said Folau was "still not sure if he could be a great player [although] I think he could. We'll all wonder for eternity".
Folau said that he thought it was the right time to leave.
"In the end I didn't quite have the passion there I would have been cheating myself…and the club," Folau said. "I gave it my best shot the last few years."
Folau left NRL club the Brisbane Broncos to join the AFL on a four-year deal worth approximately $6 million.
As recently as July, Folau refuted claims he was to switch back to his original sport.
At that time, industry sources confirmed he would take a massive pay cut if he were to cross back to rugby league.
The former Australian rugby league representative is on the verge of joining the Parramatta Eels in the NRL under former NSW State of Origin coach Ricky Stuart.
However, Parramatta have denied signing Folau but admit he is a target now that he is available.
VIDEO: In his own words: Folau quits
Fairfax Media revealed in April the Eels were Folau's most likely destination if he were to switch back to the NRL. Eels recruitment manager Peter Nolan was the man instrumental in luring Folau from Melbourne Storm to Brisbane Broncos and it appears he has again got his man.
Ken Edwards, the newly appointed chief executive of the Eels football club, denied that a deal was done.
"He is the sort of player and person that we are certainly interested in," he said.
"We could see him fitting into the culture that we are building here and we could see him being a part of the club going forward.
"We would possibly have some salary cap issues in the first year we are yet to discuss with the NRL.
"We would be interested and we would seek to talk to his management."
Folau's brother, John, is already in the Eels system.
It is understood the Eels have made contact with his manager and will be keen to snap him up to bolster their backline after finishing with the NRL wooden spoon in 2012.
Folau first season in AFL football was in 2011 in the second-tier NEAFL competition, and he struggled with roles in defence before Sheedy began playing him up forward. Former Essendon legend Sheedy remained positive that Folau would improve in time, saying it was a "bit unfair" that he was compared to youngsters who had played Australian Rules football all their lives.
One former AFL key forward star backed Folau - in June Dermot Brereton labelled Folau's critics "naive".
The other former rugby league star signed up by the AFL at the beginning of its northern expansion, Karmichael Hunt, has fared much better for the Gold Coast Suns, impressing in his two seasons in the midfield, but he had a more solid grounding in the code as a youngster. Hunt remains committed to playing with the Suns, 34 games into his new career. In March, after Folau's humble debut, Hunt backed the big forward's capacity to succeed in the AFL.
Folau played 90 games in the NRL for Melbourne and Brisbane from 2007-10 before switching codes.
He made history as the youngest player to represent Queensland in rugby league's State Of Origin and is also the youngest member of the Australian league team.
His return to league will fuel speculation that the Giants could recruit former Adelaide key forward Kurt Tippett through the national or pre-season drafts.
GWS have the No.1 picks in the two drafts and, with no Folau, they would have ample room in their salary cap to accommodate Tippett's hefty asking price.
Adelaide are the subject of a major AFL investigation over draft tampering and salary cap breaches.
The investigation relates to Tippett's last contract with the Crows, signed in 2009.
The Crows face massive penalties if the AFL rule against them.
Tippett wants to play for Sydney, but the Swans were unable to negotiate a deal with Adelaide during the trade period.

Here's the scenario: You're shopping for your dream car, a Toyota Camry, but you come to realize it is hardly "an experience above all else." You find that it lacks "superior comfort," "refined driving performance," and is not "built exclusively in America."
Fortunately, it is 1995, so a discriminating customer such as yourself has another front-wheel-drive snoozemobile to choose from: the Toyota Avalon, which is described in this ad as the company's new flagship. I always thought that was the twin-turbo Supra, but whatever.
As the Avalon soars majestically through the clouds, one thing is apparent: inflation is a bitch, y'all. The ad says the Avalon starts at only $22,758. Popping on over to Toyota's website reveals that in 2012, the same car starts at more than $33,000. Someone should get the government to fix this or something.

Hit 90 today or +21. After 7 holes I was +10, but I then embarked on a run of awesomeness. I was +11 after 15 (69 shots), looking on track for an awesome score, only to capitulate over the final 3 holes to finish up with 90. dam annoying. on one par 5, i hit the green in 2 shots. dam that felt good

I don't play golf anymore.. since the local course shut down but in my glory days I once shot 5 over par.
Truth be told the course was quite easy but it was still a great achievement as far as I am concerned. Played off a 10 in my prime.

Michael Campbell played at quite a easy course growing up. Didn't do him any harm.Originally Posted by Clarence
I was there tbh. Kurt played like 8 holes in which he got 6 pars, 1 birdie, and a double bogey. Then on the last 3 holes he went 7,8,6. Definitely a choke imo. He was aiming to go under 90, then after 15 holes he looked a good chance to get 84, which would beat my best score. This seemed to really get to him mentally imo.Originally Posted by Blaze
I shot 95 and Kurt shot 90. Which is not good as I am on a 16 handicap and Kurt is on a 25.
Up until not so long ago Kurt had gone several years without beating me, now he has beaten me 3 times in close succession. Damn embarrassing.
Highlight of the day was the par 5 9th hole where both me and Kurt hit the green in 2 and made birdie
martin, hitting my eagle ball into that pond broke me tbh.Originally Posted by thierry henry
clarence, tbh, this course has about 9 bunkersOriginally Posted by Clarence
Kurt, when it gets to situations like that you've just got to ask yourself. What would Steve Prefontaine do?
he'd show guts imho, although Clarence, if you could clarify exactly what the situation is, it'd make answering the question a lot easier ffs.Originally Posted by Clarence
where abouts do you play golf?
winner of formula 1 prediction thread 2005 competition and look forward to next year
Good to see this thread re-discovered.
for those of you interested I've got my handicap down to 8, after some consistant play. The drives are really setting things up and my chipping has been on fire of late with plenty of ups and downs.
My main problem of late has been my game from 120 in however with me missing plenty of greens...
I'm hoping to work on this with my golf coach, Scott Davis.
I also got selected into Eric Apperley (pennants representatives for under 23's) and last weekend I played against an assistant pro. It's matchplay and I took him to the 18th hole so it's proving I can match it with the best of them.

- Product overview
The ultimate sport performance product, this revolutionary eyewear lets athletes take full advantage of Oakley's wide array of performance lenses, thanks to an ingenious invention called Switchlock™ Technology that makes lens changing fast and hassle-free. Switchlock lets you adapt your vision for any environment and keep up with changing light, and all lenses are optimized with the unrivaled clarity and impact resistance of High Definition Optics® (HDO®). Engineered to meet the uncompromising demands of world-class athletes, RadarLock™ changes the game with a new definition of performance.
Whether you're competing for Gold or just squeezing every ounce of possibility out of those prized moments of athletic escape, you're either wearing RadarLock™ or wishing you were. If you haven't heard about Oakley Switchlock Technology, you're wasting too much time fumbling with the outdated designs of ordinary interchangeable lens systems. Our simple switch mechanism makes the process quick and easy, and the lens is held securely in place without uneven pressures that can bend it and distort your vision. Somebody finally got it right, and did so with a vengeance against conventional technology.
HDO® sets the standard for optical clarity, visual fidelity, and impact resistance, and RadarLock is racked and revved with all those benefits including Polaric Ellipsoid™ geometry to extend clarity across the entire lens. The sweeping contour gives you a wide-open view with maximized peripheral vision and enhanced side protection against sun, wind and impact. You'll have optical performance rated at ANSI Z87.1, and that same uncompromising level of standards applies to protection against high velocity and high mass impact. For even more protection, our Plutonite® lens material filters out every eye-searing ray of UV.
The lightweight yet insanely durable frame is made of O Matter™ and shaped with surge ports to maintain a cooling flow of air. Interchangeable nose pads let you achieve a comfortable, customizable fit, and the earsocks are made of the same sport-optimized Unobtainium® to increase grip when you sweat. You won't feel any uneven pressure points with this frame because its Three-Point Fit doesn't hook your ears — it just holds the frame comfortably in place while keeping the lens in precise optical alignment.
RadarLock comes in an Oakley Soft Vault case that lets you store an extra lens, and each frame comes with two lenses: one for bright days and one for low-light conditions. Choose Oakley HDPolarized technology and enjoy the glare-killing clarity of the best polarized lenses on the planet. Balance light transmission and tune your vision with Iridium® lens coatings, and take advantage of Oakley Photochromic technology for optics that darken automatically in response to sunlight. Oakley Authentic Prescription Lens Inserts are available for RadarLock Path and Pitch.

Have the Fed's massive interventions to keep down long-term interest rates failed to neutralize expectations driving the bond market behavior?
The answer from some of the Fed's leaders would be an emphatic "no." They believe that their "operation twist" (buying long-term bonds by selling short-term Treasury securities from September 2011 to December 2012), and the $85 billion monthly purchases of long-term bonds and mortgage-backed securities have been "successful."
That is as one might expect. After all, the Fed is unlikely to agree that the net addition of $745 billion to its $3.4 trillion balance sheet since September 2011 was an ill-advised fools' errand. But please note that the Fed is not defining the word "successful" in terms of any particular achievement in the realm of real economy.
Before we discuss that, let's see what the Fed was trying to do.
(Read more: Durable goods slowdown could soften Fed taper)
In a laudable effort to accelerate the U.S. economic recovery, the Fed thought that large and sustained purchases of long-term Treasury and mortgage debt would hold down the bond yields underlying an entire range of credit costs. That, the Fed expected, would speed up the growth of interest-sensitive components of aggregate demand – household consumption and residential investments, which account for nearly three-quarters of American economy.
The decision to start twisting the yield curve in September 2011 also implied the Fed's conclusion that its virtually zero interest rate policies (in place since December 2008) were not working. Indeed, one now learns that this extraordinary measure was taken because the Fed feared a recessionary relapse of the U.S. economy.
An ill-judged decision
Looking at the evidence, it seems that this was a puzzling error of judgment, because most of the data available at the time the Fed began its "operation twist" could not justify fears of an incipient recession. The gross domestic product (GDP) was growing at an annual rate of 1.7 percent since the spring of 2011, retail sales were growing (in volume terms) at an average annual rate of 3.3 percent in June, July and August of 2011, private consumption was advancing at a rate of 2.6 percent, and the residential investment was rebounding at a rate of nearly 5 percent, marking the beginning of a robust and strengthening upturn of the housing sector.
These numbers are much stronger than the GDP growth of 1.3 percent and private consumption growth of 1.8 percent in the first half of this year. Should one conclude then, using the Fed's own logic, that "operation twist" and asset purchases have been a massive policy failure?
(Read more: Who will lead the Fed? Questions nag at Jackson Hole)
And here is an even more important question: In view of this dismal result, should the Fed follow last week's advice from the IMF to keep blowing up its balance sheet with continued asset purchases, or should the Fed observe the folksy imperative of the first law of holes -- "when you are in a hole, stop digging?"
The answer is clear. The bond market has led the Fed to its epiphany, whispering that it was an ill-judged decision to try and manipulate the yield curve (the fools' errand if there ever was one).
Here is an example showing the futility of the Fed's attempt to suppress market forces.

I love clothes. Obviously that's pretty standard for a site like this, but I truly do! I feel like each piece has a soul. So, my favourite way to shop is in secondhand stores of any sort: vintage, thrift, consignment… which is convenient because I manage a used clothing/ consignment shop! I have very eclectic tastes. I tend to go for skirts and dresses over pants, although my pants collection has been slowly increasing… I tend not to "label" my style, rather dressing for each day as it arrives. One of my favourite pastimes is putting together outfits for myself and my friends! I have so many inspirations as well. I LOVE Paris, ever since I visited there when I was 14! I have a tattoo of the Eiffel Tower on my inner left ankle. I also love old movies in general as a source for fashion inspiration. Lately I've been loving 40s style looks a la Katharine Hepburn! I never thought I'd say this, but I love to 90s looks that have been creeping back… I was, and always will be, a Spice Girl. If anyone finds a Union Jack dress, let me know!
I am also very artistic and love to draw and paint. I've recently started taking sewing lessons as well, with a future goal of going to school for fashion design after I finish my BA in Religious Studies/ Religion in Popular Culture. Among other inspirations: Japan, mermaids, Gwen Stefani, Debbie Harry, Marilyn Monroe, Tudor history, Princess Diana, Grace Kelly, all four seasons, sunsets, crayons… Chictopia! etc.
Life and fashion are so exciting!

When I review apps, my years of experience play a significant role in my assessments of their usefulness. I rarely base my reviews on research to determine if the app is evidence based. This is because research is time-consuming and the reviews of apps already takes a considerable amount of my time. However, I do check suspicious claims. A claim will strike me as suspicious if I suspect that the citation of research has been done to sell the app. Those of you who have read my earlier posts know that I have shown where a claim of an app being based on research is not supported by the research cited.
In this month's ASHA Leader, Lara Wakefield and Teresa Shaber, in their article, "APP-titude: Use the Evidence to Choose a Treatment App," noted, "App developers' descriptions and customers' reviews, however, may lack discussions of evidence and contain inherent biases. SLPs who use only this information may be relying solely on opinions and advertisements to make decisions." Wakefield and Shaber then discuss a five step process for determining if an app is evidence based. These steps are:
Step 1: Frame your clinical question using PICO (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome).
Step 2: Find the evidence.
Step 3: Assess the evidence.
Step 4: Search the app store and consult the evidence.
Step 5: Make a clinical decision and integrate the different types of evidence to determine your choices.
It is quite easy to do the research. Some app developers cite research in their app descriptions. Follow their lead and make sure the research does support the developers' claims. ASHA has a database of thousands of articles. Do a search using a few key words and a screen will appear with various articles to peruse.
If one wants to be certain that a particular app meets evidence based standards, one needs to go that extra mile.

These strategies—for mealtime, gym time, downtime and bedtime—will help you burn more calories all day long.\\n\\"Protein is the building block of muscle,\\" says Roberta Anding, R.D., a spokeswoman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association). \\"The more lean muscle you have, the more calories you expend.\\"\\nYour muscles can use only 30 grams of protein at any time, a study in the *Journal of the American Dietetic Association* notes. Any more than that gets stored as fat. Aim for a minimum of 46 g of protein per day. A sample menu:\\n\\n__Breakfast:__ 6 ounces lowfat yogurt with 1/2 cup berries and a medium skim latte (23 g)\\n\\n__Lunch:__ Spinach salad with 2 oz chicken and 1/3 cup black beans, served with pita with 2 tbsp hummus (30 g)\\n\\n__Dinner:__ Asian stir-fry with 1/3 cup each tofu, snow peas, red bell peppers, bok choy, bean sprouts and 3/4 cup brown rice, sprinkled with 2 tbsp slivered almonds (23 g)\\nIt's impossible to live in a worry-free bubble, but *constant* anxiety can cause your adrenal gland to pump out too much cortisol. High levels of the stress hormone change how your metabolism stores fat, sending flab to the belly, where it affects vital organs (and your [bikini confidence](/fitness/workouts/2011/08/flat-abs-in-5-minutes-slideshow)).\\n[Yoga can reduce stress](/takecareofyou/mind-body-techniques-slideshow) by signaling to your brain to lower cortisol levels, according to a review in *The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine*.

Relax after the tough workout, and revel as you burn nearly 200 more calories from your couch.\\n\\"As you age, you start to lose some muscle mass,\\" says Geralyn Coopersmith, an exercise physiologist and national director of the Equinox Fitness Training Institute. \\"Lifting weights helps you maintain and build on what you have, so your metabolism stays high.\\"\\nTwo or three times a week, finish your calorie-zapping cardio sessions with 15 to 30 minutes of strength training. \\"Perform 12 to 20 reps of moves that engage as many muscles as possible, such as squats, [planks](/fitness/workouts/2011/08/plank-slideshow), [lunges](/fitness/workouts/2010/10/lower-body-workout-slideshow) and push-ups,\\" Coopersmith says. \\"You'll get higher muscle activation and calorie burning with this strategy.\\" Devise your own plan with the self Workout Builder at [Workouts.Self.com](http://workouts.self.com).\\nAs few as two sleepless nights can mess with your metabolism—increasing levels of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates hunger, and decreasing levels of the hormone leptin, which tells you to stop munching—a study in *Endocrine Development* shows. Research also notes that sleep debt causes insulin resistance, interfering with how your metabolism processes fat and leading to weight gain.\\nSeven to eight hours of sleep per night is considered the sweet spot, says Richard D.

Seven Ways to Open EXE Files in Mac OS X
File Juicer
File Juicer does not run EXE files. It searches inside the EXE file to see if it contains images, Flash games or animations, compressed .ZIP or .RAR archives and many other formats. If if finds any, it will extract and save them.
13 second movie showing how to extract images from an EXE file (a screen saver). This will work on some EXE files, but not if the EXE file is encrypted or use a proprietary storage system.
ZIP and RAR files are common inside EXE files which are made "self extracting" on Windows by wrapping them in an EXE file. You open ZIP files by double-clicking them. RAR files require RAR Expander.
Pocket PC applications are often packaged as "Windows only installers" in EXE files, and the developers forget to make an
installer for Mac OS X.
File Juicer can extract the CAB files from the exe file, and you can manually copy this file to the Pocket PC and get it installed this way.
Adobe/Macromedia's Flash files are also often wrapped inside an EXE file. File Juicer can extract them, and you can play them with iSwiff .
Some EXE files containing other files are not possible to open with File Juicer. Typically this is packages made by installer applications like InstallerVise from MindVision.
Parallels Desktop
Parallels Desktop require a Mac with an Intel processor. It is more convenient to use than Apple's Boot Camp as it does not require to restart your Mac every time you want to run a Windows application.
You still need a copy of Microsoft Windows and install it on a part of your hard disk. You also need to keep this part of your disk free of spyware, viruses. You can keep the Mac part of your disk separate from your Windows part, so nasty applications will not ruin your Mac data.Amazon: Parallels Desktop 12
VMWare's Fusion
If you have a Mac with an Intel processor, VMWare Fusion will be an alternative to Parallels Desktop. They are already known for making virtual Windows environments on Windows, so Windows users can run different versions of Windows on the same PC.
Amazon: VMware Fusion 5 for MAC OS X
You do need a copy of Microsoft Windows
ClamXav - Antivirus
EXE files can be nasty to Windows users. If you want to use any of the applications below to run the EXE file you have, I recommend checking it for virus first. This is a good idea even though Windows viruses will only be dangerous for the part of your hard disk you set aside for Windows: one can never be too careful when running EXE files. Because File Juicer does not run EXE files, but search them for images, Flash animations and more, even infected EXE files are not dangerous when dropped on File Juicer for a search for extractable files.
ClamAV knows about 90.000 viruses. It is free and you can download ClamXav for Mac OS X here.
ClamXav is quite nice as it does not run in the background and slow your Mac down unless you directly ask for it (by launching ClamXav Sentry from the File menu).
Microsoft Virtual PC - requires a PowerPC processor
If you have a Mac with a PowerPC CPU, Microsoft's now discontinued (search on eBay) Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 with Windows XP Home which is the most compatible and easiest way to get PC software running on your Mac.
If you already have a Windows CD and a few hours to install it, you can save $35 by buying: Virtual PC for Mac 7.0 without Windows.
Virtual PC run Windows as a PC about 3 years older than your Mac. To improve performance you can turn off the most CPU hungry features in Windows.
Microsoft's Virtual PC is no longer updated and will never become compatible with Apple's new Macs with Intel CPUs. If you plan to upgrade your Mac soon, Microsoft Virtual PC may not be worth the purchase.
Apple's Boot CampThe newest Macs have an Intel processor inside, and Apple has made it possible via BootCamp to install Windows in a part of your disk. With Boot Camp, you shut down your Mac and restart it as a real Windows PC which works at full speed. When you want to go back to Mac OS, you restart it again as a Mac.
You still need to purchase a copy of Windows, install it and keep that corner of your hard disk free of virus, worms and spyware.
Amazon: Microsoft Windows
Crossover MacCodeweavers have released CrossOver (Jan 10 2007) - another way to run Windows applications on Intel based Macs.
The big advantage of their approach is that you do not need to buy and install Windows.
The disadvantage is that it is not a 100% Windows replacement, but they have focused on the most common parts of Windows, and if an application only depend on those it should work. Their list of supported applications (and database!) give an impression of how much of Windows they support.
Amazon: Code Weavers Crossover Mac (Mac)
How to avoid EXE files (Where to look for Mac Software)The 3 most popular places to look for Mac software are:
While all active software developers list their software on these 3 sites, there are more which write about using Mac software. MacWorld.
Alternative Emulators
Alternative emulators are coming and they are a cheaper alternative to Microsoft's Virtual PC. They still require you to install Windows and to spend the time doing so. Virtual Box is likely the most well known.
Emulators run Windows as a PC about 2-3 years older than your Mac. To improve performance, you can turn off the most CPU hungry features in Windows.

Guest Post: Felicia Ptolemy "Tool Review: Transcendent Man on The Dynamo Player"/
A while back we had Dynamo Player's founder Rob Millis introduce us to this useful tool for DIY Distribution. But how do the filmmakers using it, feel about the Dynamo Player? Today, Felicia Ptolemy, one of the producers behind one very successful film, Transcendent Man, shares their thoughts on the Dynamo Player. I look forward to sharing more direct reviews of the tools we use to get our work made and seen. If you are filmmaker using some of the innovative tools and methods that both necessity and opportunity has offered Indie / Truly Free Film recently, let us know your experiences. Write to me and we can run a post for the community, okay?
Transcendent Man is a film about the democratization of technology. Basically, exponentially growing information technologies are allowing for an explosion of new applications that are disrupting entire industries and offering powerful tools to people everywhere. Dynamo is one such tool, affording the filmmaker, directly, the opportunity to offer our audience immediate access to our film and ease of payment, which together create an instantaneous and seamless viewing experience.
With today's audiences expecting and demanding to watch movies the way they want to watch them, Dynamo introduces the unique convenience of an embeddable video player that can be hosted on any relevant destination. We started by putting the film on our own website – the first place our potential viewers go to learn about Transcendent Man and find out where they can watch it. As a filmmaker, once you capture the interest of a viewer, you want to close the deal. There is so much content out there to distract people and by eliminating the need to go to another site to watch the film, we've captured the audience interest at its height. We also simultaneously put up the Dynamo player on our Facebook fan page, where many new and existing fans of the film go daily to share information and debate the ideas – it was a perfect spot to again access a passionate and interested audience (who can also easily share the film with their network) and offer the film for rent right there on the spot. By creating this flexibility and allowing us to embed a player right at the source, Dynamo gave us a tool to combat a primary challenge facing filmmakers today: content over-proliferation.
Also, with exhibitors still demanding a 90-120 day holdback to DVD release, Dynamo offers a more timely opportunity for our fans, which are demanding that a film like Transcendent Man should be available via many portals using any and all new technologies. This is the primary reason we wanted to use Dynamo, who was the first video player application that could accept safe, reliable forms of payment via trusted sites like PayPal. Couple that with the capability of embedding the video player on any website or portal where Transcendent Man is relevant to that site's content and we have an exponentially growing audience who is not being blindly marketed to, but rather who have found the film naturally through their own likes and interests. Highly democratizing!
For these reasons and many more that we are still learning, Dynamo is a powerful tool for filmmakers and self-distributors. We've even had filmmaker friends learn about Dynamo through us and thank us for making them aware of a tool with so much potential. It's a portal that offers access and convenience to a targeted audience and expands on your existing fan base organically across the web. It transcends the limitations previously put on filmmakers whose goal has always been to just get more people to enjoy their films.

In a Police State Like Modern America, Even Peaceful Resistance Is Considered Violence and Cause for Even More Brutality
As I've repeatedly documented, passive resistance is considered "violence" and aggression in today's militarized police state.
For example, protesters peacefully linking arms is considered "violence" by the UC Berkeley police. And failing to get on the ground is grounds to beat a peaceful war hero so bad that his spleen is ruptured (and then denying him medical treatment for 18 hours).
Of course pregnant women, old ladies, judges, legal observers (and see this), reporters , veterans and skinny students are all scary and violent enemies who need to be beaten into submission.
And as AP reports today – in relation to the pepper spraying of peaceful UC Davis students:
Charles J. Kelly, a former Baltimore Police Department lieutenant who wrote the department's use of force guidelines, said … After reviewing the video [of the pepper spraying of UC Davis students] he observed at least two cases of "active resistance" from protesters. In one instance, a woman pulls her arm back from an officer. In the second instance, a protester curls into a ball. Each of those actions could have warranted more force, including baton strikes and pressure-point techniques.
"What I'm looking at is fairly standard police procedure," Kelly said.
So in today's "standard" police state procedure, curling into a ball to avoid violence from police is considered "active resistance" which warrants more force, including baton strikes?
The real problem, of course, is that the criminal class that defrauded our country out of prosperity is now sending in the mercenaries to keep the peasants in line. See this, this and this

Porter's S.E.L.F. Foundation hosts benefit dinner
HOUSTON -- College Football Hall of Fame coach Hayden Fry knows something about winning, and he's convinced the Houston Astros will get things turned around under manager Bo Porter -- who played for Fry at the University of Iowa from 1992-94 -- relatively soon.
"He'll do it quicker than people think," said Fry, who was honored Thursday night at the inaugural "A Legacy Lasts Forever Dinner" at the Hilton Americas Hotel, which benefited the Bo Porter S.E.L.F. Foundation.

More than 400 people attended the $500-per-plate star-studded gala, which helped the foundation started last year by Bo and Stacey Porter raise money to benefit local youth programs. The dinner was the vision of Porter, who just completed his first season as Astros manager.
"It's a night that obviously we have looked forward to for a long time, my wife and I and our board and all of our volunteers, all of our host committee," Porter said. "To see it all come together, it's pretty rewarding."
Hall of Fame outfielder Andre Dawson, a close friend of Porter, delivered the keynote address and was among a handful of present and former Major League stars in attendance, including LaTroy Hawkins, Chris Young, Gary Sheffield, Jimmy Wynn, J.R. Richard and Darren Oliver.
Current Astros players Josh Zeid, Jarred Cosart, Matt Dominguez, Lucas Harrell, Brett Wallace and Robbie Grossman also were in attendance, along with Astros coach Pat Listach, former Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward and former football star Jerry LeVias, who was recruited by Fry to play at Southern Methodist University, where he broke the color barrier in the Southwest Conference in 1966.
"Those people that are out here tonight are showing their support for the S.E.L.F. Foundation, and we can't thank them enough for everything they've accomplished," Porter said.
But man of the hour was Fry, who coached 47 years and turned around programs at North Texas, SMU and Iowa, where Porter was a defensive back and a star outfielder for the baseball program. Porter flew to Nevada earlier in the week and escorted Fry and his wife, Shirley, to Houston, and he hosted a dinner at his house for the couple on Wednesday.
"This is going to be an extremely special night for Coach Fry," Porter said. "He was surprised from the moment he stepped off the airplane here. We had a great reception dinner at our house with a lot of ex-players that have come into town here. He's on Cloud 9 right now."
Porter presented Fry, 84, with the inaugural Legacy Honoree Torch Award during Thursday's dinner following a video of his career highlights.
"Bo Porter is like my son," Fry said. "I'm so proud of him. He was a great student, a great football player, a great baseball player in college and junior high school, and he has the intelligence to turn any program around. He was so close this year and lost so many games by one run."
Porter also paid tribute to the family of fallen Houston firefighter Matthew Renaud, a huge Astros fan who was one of four firefighters killed battling a restaurant blaze on May 31. Renaud's brother was presented with an Astros jersey with his last name and No. 51 on the back, emblematic of fire station 51.
Established in 2012, the S.E.L.F. Foundation is dedicated to improving and impacting the lives of others through "Sports, Education, Life skills and Faith." The foundation presented checks to three Houston Independent School District middle schools for a total of $87,500 on Thursday to help fund afterschool programs and summer programs to assist eighth-graders transition into high school.
"We're happy and we're not a bit surprised to see what Bo has done," said honorary dinner chairman Robert Duncan.
Young, a free-agent outfielder who spent last season with the A's, knew Porter from his time as a young player growing up in Houston and later with the D-backs, where Porter was the bench coach and third-base coach.
"It's great he's doing something here, and I wanted to come out and show some support," he said.
Dawson and Porter befriended each other while both were with the Marlins, and the Hawk was thoroughly impressed at how grand Porter's dinner was for a first-time event.
"I should hope his mom is very proud of him," Dawson said. "There's only a select few in the position that he's in and now to start his own foundation, which is something he's always dreamed of. He's driven. He would never take 'no' for an answer, and he knows how to get the job done. When he has a vision and he says he's going to do it, he does it."
Porter said it was thrilled to have Dawson in attendance.
"When Stacey and I started the foundation, he was one of the first phone calls I made and asked him to be a part of it," he said. "Our relationship is a special one, and to have him here for what he means to baseball and what his relationship means to me and my wife, it's an honor."

Screens in East Columbus, OH
Window Screens
When we think of screens, we generally think of them strictly in terms of functionality. But the appearance of our screens and the condition of them is often a good indicator of the overall state of our home.
There are many different types of screens and purposes they serve. Screens can keep pests, birds, and dirt from entering the home through the windows and doors. They can also deflect rainwater and even reduce heat transfer when kept in good working condition.
Whether on your doors or windows, keeping your screens in good working condition is important.
Screen Mesh in East Columbus, OH
Typically, screens are made of a mesh fiberglass, aluminum or metal wire, or other synthetic fiber and stretched over a frame of wood or metal.
There are different mesh sizes indicating the number of tiny square openings across one inch of screen. To measure this, choose a once inch square of screen. Count the number of tiny square openings in a straight line from the top left corner to the top right corner. This is called the foundation or warp of the mesh. Next, count the number of tiny square openings in a straight line from the top left corner to the bottom left corner. This is the second number in the mesh size, called the width or fill of the mesh. For example, 18 warp openings and 16 fill openings means the mesh size is 18 by 16 (written as 18x16). A higher mesh number equals a finer mesh.
Finer mesh fiberglass screens are often used in coastal regions with tiny insects, while heavy-duty fiberglass screens with larger mesh openings are standard for screen doors and enclosures. Aluminum wire window screens are strong, durable and rust resistant. Solar screens are usually made of a polyester mesh, sometimes with the added durability of PVC coating.
Frames in East Columbus, OH
Modern screen frames are usually made of aluminum, either roll form or extruded. Roll-form screens are light-weight and work well for bug screens and sliding screen doors. Hinged screen doors and some sliding screen doors are typically made from extruded aluminum, which is a stronger aluminum than roll-form.
Bug Screens
Allowing a breeze to flow through the home is so important, but it needs to be done without letting in every bug and pest in the neighborhood! Bug screens perform this job by covering the opening of a window with a fine wire mesh.
Solar Screens in East Columbus, OH
Solar screens or sun screens reduce the amount of sunlight that is allowed to pass through the window and into a home. They work by absorbing or reflecting much of the sun's heat. They also help to lower energy bills by stopping the heat transfer through windows and doors. Solar screens can be installed on all windows for maximum effectiveness. However, they are only absolutely necessary on east and west facing windows and highly recommended to protect all south facing windows. North facing window solar screens are not absolutely necessary but look best for continuity and may be necessary depending on whether or not those windows receive a reflective glare.
Solar screen mesh is considerably and necessarily heavier and darker than bug screen mesh. These screens are easily installed over existing windows with frames and clips that come in a variety of colors to compliment any home's exterior.
Screen Doors in East Columbus, OH
Sliding screen doors are generally installed in conjunction with sliding glass doors. They are lightweight and allow easy access to the outdoors and free flowing air without allowing pests inside.
A hinged screen door usually refers to one on the front or rear of an exterior door. Sometimes these doors are referred to as storm doors and contain a glass panel in addition to or in replace of a screen.
Retractable Screens in East Columbus, OH
Retractable screens for windows and retractable screen doors have insect screens that roll into a compact housing. Retractable screens are designed to not interfere with regular window and door function. When they are not in use, they disappear out of sight, preserving the look of your window or doorway. The retractable screen easily extends from the housing and is held in place by a magnetic latch that easily retracts with the help of a spring-loaded roller tube that is built into the unit housing.
For Windows in East Columbus, OH
One of the benefits of retractable window screens is that they don't inhibit the window view because they retract out-of-sight when not in use. Mounted from the interior or exterior, they provide protection from insects, shade, and privacy while also being discreet and aesthetically pleasing.
For Doors in East Columbus, OH
Retractable screens fit many door types including single, double, and sliding doors. For double doors, screens are mounted to each side of the door frame and are pulled to the center of the opening when in use.

Once again Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has attempted to impose furloughs on state workers without going through any negotiated agreement which is required in the contract between the state and most of its employee unions. For now, the courts have said otherwise.
Honoring a contract is a cornerstone of the American legal system, something that's difficult to do in a time of crisis but must be done nonetheless. The governor says he has to furlough state workers because the state is suffering a cash crunch.
But when you do the math, you quickly realize a three day per month furlough doesn't even come close to solving the budget mess.
State employee salaries amount to $1.3 billion per month, or $15.6 billion per year. We know this because last year when the legislature and governor were congering up their latest round of budget gimmickery, they postponed delivery of all state worker paychecks from June 30 to July 1. Of course, that one-time, illusory savings can't be replicated, but served the momentary purposes of "closing" the budget gap--on paper at least, only for it to reappear this year. Regardless, furloughs, whether for three days per month or any entire month, can't make up any shortfall or make even a dent in bridging a $20 billion budget gap.
For argument's sake, however, let's buy the governor's claim that he needs to save cash.
The easiest thing to do would be what Pete Wilson did in 1992 during a similar crisis and legislative stalemate. Wilson ordered the Controller to issue IOUs to employees for their entire work periods until settlement of the budget, potentially saving much more money than furloughs. The state also arranged for banks to cash the IOUs, with the understanding that the banks would receive a 5 percent handling fee for managing the transaction. Nobody liked it, but at least employees were kept whole.
All of which begs the question: If there is another way to save funds in the short term, why isn't the governor taking it?
Opponents claim that he's using the 300,000 state employees as leverage on the legislature. Schwarzenegger counters that he's just trying to avoid laying out cash. Still, the fact that there is an alternate, less disruptive way of meeting his stated goal without causing harm makes one wonder whether the governor's detractors are right.
If so, Schwarzenegger's shot across the employees' bow may wind up hitting him in the foot as employee unions focus on the general election candidates and campaign issues.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities say a squirrel at a Southern California campground has tested positive for exposure to fleas infected with the bacteria that can cause plague.
Riverside County officials said Tuesday the discovery at the Fern Basin campground north of Idyllwild marks the first time in nearly a decade that a ground squirrel found in the San Jacinto Mountains has tested positive.
Officials says the risk of transmitting the bacteria to humans is minimal if people take proper precautions.
They recommend people avoid contact with squirrels and other wild animals and not camp near animal burrows.
People who become ill with such symptoms as fever, chills and tender swollen lymph nodes should see a doctor immediately.
Meanwhile, authorities say they plan to test other animals in the area later this month.
