Install Windows 7 with Sata Hard Drive and IDE DVD ROM Drive
Hi, Is this possible? I have tried numerous times on my PC to install Windows 7 onto my Sata Drive to no avail. Yet as soon as I plug in my IDE HD it installs fine.
I have unplugged all external peripherals USB and internal Card Reader. Set my Bios ok as it sees both the Hard Drive and DVD fine (Both in the bios and during selection of hard drive during windows 7 installation). Yet when I come to install it, it craps out at a random percentage saying cannot read from source or worse yet it crawls so slow through the percentages (I really don't think Windows 7 should take 6 hours to get to 15%!!) Yet both the hard drive and dvd are fine and the disc works great on my other PC without the sata drive in. I'm pulling my hair out here!!!
My motherboard is a Biostar G31-M7 TE with latest bios now what is odd is that I recently updated the BIOS to the latest one so does my problem come from here or was it always going to be a problem on this board? Also when I do have win7 installed on the IDE drive when I plug in ther sata drive inside the whole system goes belly up (from freezes when transferring large files to just not seeing the drive)

Have you checked out all of our Questions list ?
Questions to use for help with Installation Issues
One of my favorite tips is to pre-format the HD on another computer to the partitions that you want for the new install on the new computer. Sometimes SATA drivers are required during install either from Disc or USB flash drive containing the correct Sata drivers needed.
Also check your Bios setting for AHCI, SATA, IDE.
|My System Specs

If you are sure the SATA drive and the IDE optical drive are fine and no failing, then your problem is something to do with the BIOS and configuration. It isn't due to formatting, and there's no need to take the drive to another computer. You always want to try and start your Windows install with a blank drive, especially with Windows 7, or else you may not like what your drive letters are assigned as, among other issues.
At this point, I would probably run a diag test on the SATA drive to make sure it doesn't have any errors, and you could also try loading your SATA drivers on a flash drive and forcing them to be used, as Doc Brown suggested. Your BIOS may also have an option to reset to defaults or something like that.

Thanks for the replies!! How do I get Sata drivers this drive? I always thought the sata drivers were really for the problem of the drive not appearing during install
|My System Specs
|08 Oct 2010
In the past, yes that was the case. However, given that you are having install issues, it doesn't hurt to try and get the controller drivers on a flash drive and give them a shot. You would need to find the drivers for whatever controller your motherboard uses, such as Intel's, and then have them extracted and saved to a flash drive.
I suggested testing the drive out first, just to make sure that is fine. A damaged or failing drive will have the issues you are experiencing.

If you can't find a dedicated download for your sata drivers download the chip-set drivers for your motherboard and look though the folders. If you see a folder named SATA, thats the one you want on your flash drive. There should be SATA drivers on the CD that came bundled with your motherboard. They would likely be outdated but should work to get you going. I think its hit or miss depending on what chip-set your motherboard has. I just did a clean install to my new SATA drive from an IDE DVD-ROM drive with out a hitch. Windows must have had a driver for my system on the DVD.

Hello Bladeforce.
Have a look at this tutorial at the link below to see if doing a wipe to the HDD will help out, sometime it helps with issues like this, just create a single partition to do the install to; be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.

Sorry I forgot to say I already had gone the process of formatting the drive as describe in your link. My chipset drivers do indeed have a SATA driver on them, the problem is they are inside an exe file that I cant extract from. Tried numerous things but to no avail. They must be installed on my system haing run the exe now trying to use double driver to see if it can save them to a flash drive

If your SATA drive shows up on the "Where do you want to Install Windows" screen then it doesn't need the SATA drivers, which are all in the installer. You could try loading them at the "Load Drivers" link below the window but the drive wouldn't show in windows if they're needed. To find the drivers, find the file the chipset .exe unzipped to, probably in the C: root. It is okay to run it again.

As a last resort, delete partitioning on SATA HD, plug in IDE and clone it to SATA using free Acronis cloning software on your HD model's Support Downloads webpage if you have WD or Seagate. Otherwise save a backup image externally from IDE, swap drives, boot DVD to reimage SATA.

Cholesterol is related to but not the direct cause of arteriosclerosis, heart disease, and strokes. We cannot live without cholesterol, we must have it to make cell membranes, vitamin D, many hormones, and bile salts. Yet it is related to heart disease. In general, the higher the cholesterol the worse the risk for heart disease. But it is not the total that is most important, it is the relationship between types of cholesterol subfractions. There are nine different types of LDL cholesterol and five different types of HDL that provide even further information. In general, it is the ratio of HDL to total cholesterol that should be used in general screens. Lowering LDL has value to a certain point, but beyond a certain point low cholesterol may reduce heart disease but increase all cause mortality. Vytorin is a combination of Zocor and Zetia to lower cholesterol more may reduce mortality from heart disease, but overall survival is not increased, and all cause mortality may be higher.
All About Cholesterol
Dr. Len and Nurse Vicki present everything you need to know about cholesterol. What it is, what the fractions mean, what they predict, and what we can do to deal with elevated levels. Statins, how they work, what they do, and their side effects are reviewed. The role of inflammation, oxidized cholesterol, and why it should not be lowered too much are explained. The deception of big pharma is revealed in the Vytorin story. The causes of inflammation can be managed with lifestyle better than with drugs. HDL and LDL and their ratios are reviewed and contrasted. The role of supplements in lowering cholesterol is reviewed.
Take Dr. Saputo's Free Cholesterol Health Assessment
All of the Health Assessments on DoctorSaputo.com have been developed to provide you with integrative and holistic medical information that may help you understand your health condition more fully and share our opinions about possible treatments you may choose to consider with your healthcare practitioner. All of our Health Assessments have been created by Dr. Saputo with the intent of taking just a few minutes of your time and, upon completion, providing instant emailed information in short audio and video files that are specifically related to your unique health condition as determined by the way you answered our simple questions.
In this Health Assessment you will learn more about what cholesterol is, why we need it, what its fractions mean, the safety of conventional statin treatment, nutritional therapies, the importance of a healthy lifestyle, how to treat abnormal cholesterol values, and who should use which strategies.
For primary prevention of heart attacks there's no data showing that there's an increase in survival. And there are many side effects of statins that are problematic such as liver inflammation, peripheral neuropathy, muscle inflammation, kidney failure, global amnesia. Lifestyle is still the major way to stop and reverse heart disease. There is value during an acute heart attack and for secondary prevention of heart attacks.
New Ultra-bad Cholesterol
A new ultra-bad very sticky form of LDL cholesterol that is small and dense has been identified and found to be present in both type 2 diabetes and in the elderly. It may be the reason why the risk of heart attack and stroke is eleveated in these groups. The cause is suspected to be related to glycation (damage to proteins by high levels of glucose) and is more likely to occur when blood sugar levels are above 170, as these levels activate an enzyme called aldolase reductase that speeds the conversion of glucose to toxic sorbitol.
HDL Cholesterol is Not Always Protective
The Framingham Study showed that for every rise of 1 mg/dL of HDL cholesterol, there was a 2% drop in the risk of an MI. However, not all HDL cholesterol is protective. HDL's protective effect depends on the environment in which it exists. In premenopausal women, generally HDL is protective. However, in postmenopausal women who have the metabolic syndrome and a chemical environment characterized by high triglycerides and inflammation, the HDL that forms is smaller and denser and does not participate in reverse cholesterol transport nearly as well. HDL is being asked to do a job it is no longer capable of doing.
For these reasons, in postmenopausal women with high levels of HDL who have either symptoms or signs of arteriosclerosis should be evaluated fully even if HDL levels are high. Many of these women are insulin resistant, have already had a heart attack, have type 2 diabetes,
There is no value in adding niacin to statin therapy for this group of patients...it doesn't lower the risk of MI or stroke even if HDL goes up. This is particularly true in women with LDL levels in the range of 70.
What Determines Arterial Stiffening
Apolipoprotein E (apoE) plays a major role in maintaining arterial softness by supressing production of a network of connective tissue in the body according to an article published in the November 2012 issue of Cell Reports. This work suggests that it may be the apoE-containing HDL that confers the main benefit of HDL cholesterol by promoting arterial softness. It is interesting that even when cholesterol is high the softening effects of apoE take precedence in protecting against heart attacks and strokes.
What Determines Arterial Stiffening?
Low HDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks
Even though there is abundant evidence that people with low protective HDL cholesterol are at risk for heart attacks, a large new study refutes this myth. People with high HDL in this study of 70,000 people had a much lower incidence of heart attacks, but people with a genetic defect in producing HDL and had a low level in this study did not have an increased incidence of heart attacks. Thus, HDL by itself is not protective for heart attacks.
People with low HDLs often have other associated risk factors such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure that might explain why low levels are associated with more heart attacks. Raising HDL may not be such a good idea and may explain why drugs that raise HDL cholesterol have increased all cause mortality and have not prevented heart attacks.
Low HDL Cholesterol Does Not Cause Heart Attacks
HDL Level and Risk of MI Questioned
Treatment to increase HDL cholesterol has been viewed as useful, but new data published in the journal Lancet in May of 2012, suggests that there's no value in doing so to prevent heart attacks. It could be that HDL is a marker for increased risk for heart attack, much like the PSA is a marker for prostate cancer. This does not mean that statin drugs don't benefit people with established heart disease because LDL lowering is directly related to decrease the risk of MI and death in this setting.
However, lifestyle is the most powerful and safest approach by far to prevent heart attacks. Raising HDL cholesterol with drugs or supplements is now called into question as well; so niacin, polycosanol, guggulipid and others must be re-examined. Previous studies with CETP inhibitors (that specifically raise HDL) have shown an increase in the risk for heart attack. How HDL is raised makes the difference. Artificially increasing HDL with drugs doesn't work, but lifestyle does as evidenced by the Framingham studies done several decades ago.
Statins Cause Fatigue
A study published in Archives of Internal Medicine in June of 2012 showed that people using statins had a much higher incidence of decreased energy and fatigue upon exertion. Forty percent had worsened energy or fatigue with exertion; 20% had both, and 10% were severely effected. Other known side effects of statins include liver disease, muscle pain, muscle necrosis, kidney failure, peripheral neuropathy, global anmesia, and a higher incidence of type 2 diabetes. Statins also block the production of coenzyme Q10, which is important in energy production, antioxidant protection, and helping with congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, adriamycin induced heart failure, periodontal disease, Parkinson's disease, and some cancers.
For those people who feel statins should be taken by most everyone, this collection of serious health problems should make them think at least twice!

Shadows of Brimstone: Trun Hunters Enemy Pack
A brutish, reptilian race of alien warriors, the Trun spread across the stars, conquering world after world and bringing destruction to all they encounter! Their ritualistic approach to hunting their prey often leads them to fight in small packs, tracking their quarry and facing them in brutal close quarters fighting! Of all the worlds the Trun have visited, the frozen cities of the Targa Plateau have been deemed the most...challenging. Because of this, they use it as a training ground for their warriors. To survive a hunt on the Targa Plateau is to prove one's worth as a warrior!
This Enemy Pack contains everything you need to add deadly, alien Trun Hunters to your games of Shadows of Brimstone! There are 3 large Trun Hunter models included, as well as the large Enemy Record Sheet and all of the Threat Cards needed to add them to your games.
Posted by Panner on 4th Jun 2017
The models are made of HIPS plastic and they come in a whooping nine pieces. Assembling those pieces can be somewhat annoying, since it's possible to mix up the left and right foot, and ditto shoulderpads. The model is very top heavy, and needs to be leaned against something while being glued to the base.
Also, I would have liked to see a tail on these guys, but I guess that would have added yet another piece.
These models are fine, just don't try to assemble them in a hurry. My rating is 3/5 - Decent.
The rules for Trun Hunters try to do a lot, and unfortunately it becomes too much. They have both melee and ranged attacks, and they have knockback, and they have scaling defenses. This results in Trun Hunters needing an extra rules card, containing the text that couldn't fit on the stat card. Inelegant, to say the least. And I think all text would have fit if the abilities Fear and Knockback were removed (the text on the extra rules card is super verbose).
Other that that, these guys have a high damage output and high Defense, but they get torn to shreads by anything that generates multiple crits, such as shotguns. The elite abilites don't boost their defenses at all.
A fun enemy, burdened with ugly rules execution after trying to do too much. I rate them 3/5 - Decent.
Only a small part of Trun Hunters' damage output, about 14%, come from their ranged attacks. So why are they armed with guns, and not melee weapons? It's a bit strange, and would feel a lot better if the models had a melee weapon in their right hand.
But that's just a nitpick. It's fun to fight alien scavengers, and the special rules they have make sense, and make them stand out.
Regarding theme, I rate Trun Hunters 4/5 - Good.
With an overall score of 67%, I can recommend the Trun Hunters enemy pack. But remember, some assembly definitely required.

AFAIK, there hasn't been a single change in logging output formatting in years.

"They shall look on him whom they have pierced" (Jn 19:37): the Gospel of life is brought to fulfilment on the tree of the Cross
50. At the end of this chapter, in which we have reflected on the Christian message about life, I would like to pause with each one of you to contemplate the One who was pierced and who draws all people to himself (cf. [link] Jn 19:37; [link] 12:32). Looking at "the spectacle" of the Cross (cf. [link] Lk 23:48) we shall discover in this glorious tree the fulfilment and the complete revelation of the whole Gospel of life.
In the early afternoon of Good Friday, "there was darkness over the whole land ... while the sun's light failed; and the curtain of the temple was torn in two" ( [link] Lk 23:44, [link] 45). This is the symbol of a great cosmic disturbance and a massive conflict between the forces of good and the forces of evil, between life and death. Today we too find ourselves in the midst of a dramatic conflict between the "culture of death" and the "culture of life". But the glory of the Cross is not overcome by this darkness; rather, it shines forth ever more radiantly and brightly, and is revealed as the centre, meaning and goal of all history and of every human life.
Jesus is nailed to the Cross and is lifted up from the earth. He experiences the moment of his greatest "powerlessness", and his life seems completely delivered to the derision of his adversaries and into the hands of his executioners: he is mocked, jeered at, insulted (cf. [link] Mk 15:24-36). And yet, precisely amid all this, having seen him breathe his last, the Roman centurion exclaims: "Truly this man was the Son of God!" ( [link] Mk 15:39). It is thus, at the moment of his greatest weakness, that the the Son of God is revealed for who he is: on the Cross his glory is made manifest.
By his death, Jesus sheds light on the meaning of the life and death of every human being. Before he dies, Jesus prays to the Father, asking forgiveness for his persecutors (cf. [link] Lk 23:34), and to the criminal who asks him to remember him in his kingdom he replies: "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise" ( [link] Lk 23:43). After his death "the tombs also were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised" ( [link] Mt 27:52). The salvation wrought by Jesus is the bestowal of life and resurrection. Throughout his earthly life, Jesus had indeed bestowed salvation by healing and doing good to all (cf. [link] Acts 10:38). But his miracles, healings and even his raising of the dead were signs of another salvation, a salvation which consists in the forgiveness of sins, that is, in setting man free from his greatest sickness and in raising him to the very life of God.
On the Cross, the miracle of the serpent lifted up by Moses in the desert ( [link] Jn 3:14-15; cf. [link] Num 21:8-9) is renewed and brought to full and definitive perfection. Today too, by looking upon the one who was pierced, every person whose life is threatened encounters the sure hope of finding freedom and redemption.
51. But there is yet another particular event which moves me deeply when I consider it. "When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, ?It is finished'; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit" ( [link] Jn 19:30). Afterwards, the Roman soldier "pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water" ( [link] Jn 19:34).
Everything has now reached its complete fulfilment. The "giving up" of the spirit describes Jesus' death, a death like that of every other human being, but it also seems to allude to the "gift of the Spirit", by which Jesus ransoms us from death and opens before us a new life.
It is the very life of God which is now shared with man. It is the life which through the Sacraments of the Church-symbolized by the blood and water flowing from Christ's side - is continually given to God's children, making them the people of the New Covenant. From the Cross, the source of life, the "people of life" is born and increases.
The contemplation of the Cross thus brings us to the very heart of all that has taken place. Jesus, who upon entering into the world said: "I have come, O God, to do your will" (cf. [link] Heb 10:9), made himself obedient to the Father in everything and, "having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" ( [link] Jn 13:1), giving himself completely for them.
He who had come "not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many" (Mk 10:45), attains on the Cross the heights of love: "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" ( [link] Jn 15:13). And he died for us while we were yet sinners (cf. [link] Rom 5:8).
In this way Jesus proclaims that life finds its centre, its meaning and its fulfilment when it is given up.
At this point our meditation becomes praise and thanksgiving, and at the same time urges us to imitate Christ and follow in his footsteps (cf. [link] 1 Pt 2:21).
We too are called to give our lives for our brothers and sisters, and thus to realize in the fullness of truth the meaning and destiny of our existence.
We shall be able to do this because you, O Lord, have given us the example and have bestowed on us the power of your Spirit. We shall be able to do this if every day, with you and like you, we are obedient to the Father and do his will.
Grant, therefore, that we may listen with open and generous hearts to every word which proceeds from the mouth of God. Thus we shall learn not only to obey the commandment not to kill human life, but also to revere life, to love it and to foster it.

feelings maps
passing clouds
To add to this concept, students can make small 3-D clouds with string attached, write their feelings on the cloud, and watch the cloud float away (I hide it in a cupboard in my office, but you can always just walk away with the cloud for the student's visual memory). It can be helpful to hang the clouds in the office so students can "notice" the clouds whenever they visit (if your security alarm won't go off at night, of course!). Discussions can occur about how feelings can linger (i.e., storm clouds of anger that we feed, overcast clouds of enduring sadness), as well as what coping skills might be utilized to notice feelings without judgement and to encourage emotions to pass rather than linger.
identity maps
I have read about identity maps as a tool that students can create completely on their own, but I have not done this yet. As I speak with a new student or one who may be seeing me individually, I either draw the map or have the student do it (depending on their age and ability). This helps me to get a better overall picture of the person with whom I am working. I also find that the visual focus and casual conversation centered on the student's every day life helps them to relax and build relationship with me as their counselor. Sometimes I ask what makes them most happy, sad, and frustrated, which can provide a great deal of information to me as the counselor. When I write the map, younger students often ask to add pictures to the map as we talk, which seems to bring further ownership to the process.
self portraits
During my elementary internship, the first grade teacher team had students create self portraits of their face. Students were instructed to fold the page into eighths. The chin was drawn at the one quarter fold, the mouth at the half, and the eyes around the three quarter fold. Students could choose the colors and the background. As I walked past the results, I found some striking representations in the students' choices of color, sizes of features, and location of features. I have since used this with students in counseling sessions and continue to marvel at the conversations that ensue after completion of their art work.
self as superhero
free draw
My soapbox: we do not allow children nearly enough space, time, or opportunity to imagine and create. This may be one of the most therapeutic techniques we can offer as counselors.
I find it most successful when the counseling office has a wide variety of art materials readily on hand:
* crayons, colored pencils, markers, oil crayons
* a variety of magazines & print materials
* a variety of paper (weight, color, size, etc)
* a scrap bucket full of treasures
* yarn, string, beads
* glue, mod-podge, tape,
* scissors (regular & craft styles)
* anything your crafty heart desires!

Set in the tony Hyde Park section of Tampa and close to all the sights and attractions, the Epicurean is the brainchild of the Bern's Steak House family, owned and operated by both Bern's and Mainsail Lodging & Development and a member of the Autograph Collection of the Mariott International family.
While a relatively small property there's much to show and talk about so I'm adding a slideshow at the end and capsulizing some interesting tidbits below about the various components that make the Epicurean a special place.
It's all about titillating the senses while offering top-notch service and comfortable little public spaces that are surprisingly warm and relaxing.
Everywhere your eyes wander, there's something of interest. The decor is a well-appointed melange of rustic, nostalgia and modernism — pieces made from Kentucky-sourced wood, custom-made Venetian plaster walls designed by local artists, kitchen antiques and a strong presence by their A+ partners, like Viking and Shun Cutlery. There's also a clear effort to showcase local artisans and farmers.
Adding a touch of whimsy to the food and wine-theme, little surprises await guests as they make their way from parking to rooms via elevators that depict floor numbers with a measuring cup motif and lit panel room entrances which, by the way, you don't have to insert key card into – just a wave will do it.
First of all, everything (restaurant, wine shop etc.) was built to face the street so the outdoors adds natural light and another decorative element to the interior — and then, there is the pool, the fabulous second floor patio with outdoor seating and the rooftop bar (see photos in slideshow);
Under the direction of Chad Johnson, a James Beard semi-finalist, the Élevage restaurant offers a creative (and sometimes playful) selection of items, like this appetizer take on "fish and chips" with seared tuna, fried pickles, malt vinegar chips and foam. Also shown: Duck, Duck, Goose Burger with Black Currant Ketchup, Shrimp + Grits with Pork Belly, and a praline and chocolate dessert.
Chocolate Pi is the on-premises patisserie which is also part soda shop, part candy store. A definite delight for the sweet tooth.
There's no shortage of opportunities to indulge … from Bern's Fine Wine & Spirits shop, to the open-spaced bar at the entrance to the Élevage restaurant and Edge, a rooftop outdoor "social drinkery" space which is conducive to pre- and post-dinner cocktails. (Photos in slideshow.)
The Epicurean Theater
This space is fully equipped with top-of-the-line equipment and seats about 40 people for live culinary and mixology discussions and demonstrations.
The newly-opened Evangeline spa continues 'the theme' using aromatic herbs from a living wall garden and treatments with such intoxicating names as: Hot Whiskey Sour Massage, Grand Cru Anti-Aging, Dulce Delight and Quintessential Cabernet Massage.
Special Events
The hotel has a banquet room that can be split for 2 events and two large outdoor open spaces on the pool level and second floor patio. In addition, indoors, a lot of the furniture was built on wheels so things can be moved around and reconfigured at will — like the wine shop, where all the center store wine racks are on wheels and rolled to the perimeters for Friday night wine tastings and other events.

Dieting has become crucial for most of the people who want to lose weight quickly. While losing weight may be the main goal of going on a diet; achieving a slimmer figure is what we dream of getting!
With the right diet plan, we will not only finally get our dream body weight; we will also feel more physically fit to do everything we need and want to do. Going on a diet is no picnic in the park!
But it is the rewards of all the hard work we put into which can be sometimes far more than we ever expected.
In This Article
Coming Up With An Easy And Effective Diet Plan for Weight Loss
The efficacy of the diet plan we have chosen largely depends on several factors: the amount of pounds we want to get rid of; our body mass based on our age, height and gender; and the natural ability of our bodies to retain or lose excess fats and water.
Having checked all these factors, we can then come up with an effective diet plan (such as Master Cleanse, Mediterranean diet, Paleo diet and many more) that will help us to get back into the shape in no time.
Bear in mind though, that a diet plan will only work if we stick to it no matter what the conditions are.
Researching And Finding The Right Diet Plan Suits Your Body
Research is an important factor in coming up with an effective diet plan. Finding out everything we need to know about dieting, the risks involved on each diet plan we come across with, and a sound advice from experts including our trusted medical practitioner will help us to come up with a good diet meal plan that will work for us.
There are lot of sample diet plans available on the internet today. So we can easily check these out to give us a better understanding of what we are about to get ourselves into.
It should be kept in mind that our diet plan should always include physical exercises so we can tone our muscles and keep fit while losing weight.
Finally, before starting on our chosen diet and exercise plan, we should always check first with our doctors to find out if our body is ready to take the rigorous diet meal plan. This is important for to eliminate health risks, if any.
Make Room for Adjustments And Stay Motivated
While one diet plan may work for one person, it may not necessarily work for another. So the key is to find out what works best for us and stay focused on it.
In the beginning, we may find out that the diet plan we have designed is not giving us the kind of results that we are aiming for. But this should not be the reason enough to quit and forget about losing weight!
In fact, this should serve as a good motivation for us to keep trying until we get everything right. If we find ourselves slipping, we can always get right back on track.
You need to be rigid and dedicated before you can start achieving your goals and then only can you help yourself to get the figure you dream of.
As with most of the difficult things in life, the first try may not always work in case of weight loss. So we have to make room for adjustments.
Once we've figured out missing or incompatible elements in our diet plan, it will be much easier for us to determine the right diet plan to help us lose weight and maintain a healthy body.
Help Yourself To Maintain Slim Figure Forever with A Healthy Diet
Sure, it would be tempting to give up an inviting ice-cream or a calorie rich snack for a bowl of salad; but remember whoever said toning your belly is not an easy task!
To achieve extraordinary results and an attractive slim figure, one must be prepared to give up short term joys of taste for long term happiness which comes in the form of health and fitness.
Sugar is the main enemy for most of the weight reducers. The sugar and simple carbohydrate diet increase the weight drastically and it also resists the weight reduction even if you are doing strenuous workouts daily.
Hence try to reduce or better cut off the sugar totally till you are getting perfect weight and a well-balanced toned body.
The diet for getting flat belly forces the body to give up all the cravings for foods that are rich in sugar and fat. And it may sometimes take long time for the body to get accustomed to a healthy and nutritious diet.
There might be some symptoms of fatigue and nausea as you switch over to this sort of diet, but this is the normal process which occurs when the body is getting rid of the toxins.
So, What Should Your Healthy Diet Meal Plan Consist Of ?
It is a popular myth that toning a belly is achievable by crash diets (weight-loss diet plan undertaken for achieving very rapid results). However, crash diets disrupt the normal functioning of the body and do not produce the desired results in the long term.
But if one follows a regular healthy style of living coupled with nutritious diet and exercise, then the body remains fit and in shape.
The diet for flat stomach basically is a healthy combination of fat burning foods which helps to flatten your stomach. This diet should of course take into consideration your body fat levels and body metabolism rate. It should contain good amounts of green leafy vegetables, fruits and salads. You should cut down on sweets, coffee and fat rich food.
Having protein rich food such as white meat, fish and eggs, along with vegetable juices and brown rice are also good. Having plenty of fruits and fluids such as juices helps to cleanse the body from the harmful toxins and forms an essential part of your most effective diet plan.
Although nutrition supplement products and fat burning shakes are also adopted by many people as part of the diet for flat stomach, these are not very necessary. The same nutritional benefits can be had by directly switching over to a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

A collision between an SUV and a moped in Beaufort, South Carolina (SC), left the two teenaged moped riders badly injured and the driver of the larger vehicle facing multiple charges. The crash happened on Ribaut Road at around 10:30 pm on February 18, 2017.
According to news reports, the woman behind the wheel of the SUV never stopped after striking the moped, dragging the two-wheeler and its riders nearly 2,000 feet before continuing on to her home. Witnesses wrote down the at-fault driver's license plate number and shared it with police, who arrested the hit-and-run driver at 1 am on February 19.
The fleeing driver faces initial charges of leaving the scene of an accident and failing to render aid. Under section 56-5-1230 of the South Carolina Code, drivers who get involved in any type of wreck are required to stay on the scene to share their identification, insurance information and witness statement with investigators. Language in the statute also places a legal duty on drivers who are not incapacitated themselves to "render to any person injured in such accident reasonable assistance, including the carrying or making arrangements for the carrying of such person to a physician, surgeon or hospital for medical or surgical treatment if it is apparent that such treatment is necessary or if such carrying is requested by the injured person."
Fortunately, the teens' injuries are not considered life-threatening. Their families will still large medical bills and other significant negative financial impacts as a result of the SUV driver's negligent and careless actions. If the at-fault driver fled in order to escape responsibility because she lacks insurance, the injured teens' families should have coverage under the uninsured and underinsured provisions of a parent's own policy.
South Carolina requires all fully registered drivers to carry uninsured motorist coverage, which exists to ensure crash victims do not pay every accident-related expense out of their own pockets. State regulators also strongly encourage residents to sign up for underinsured motorist coverage, which pays for crash-related expenses that exceed maximum payouts from an at-fault driver's policy.
Seeking advice and assistance from a South Carolina personal injury lawyer who has experience helping victims of moped accidents and hit-and-run drivers will enable the teens and their families understand and take advantage of all their options to claim compensation and damages. Holding a driver who flees the scene of a crash that could have easily proven fatal accountable is imperative.

Manchester City have won their second Premier League title in three years. With the wealth of the club, it's easy to jump in and claim that innumerable trophies are on the horizon, that a dynasty is being built.
But it isn't always that simple. The right pieces need to be in place. We've seen questions of dynasties come up well away from European football.
The Miami Heat could win their third straight NBA title this season, but it hasn't been straightforward. They lost their first NBA final after LeBron James had been signed, and they haven't exactly been flawless this year.
The NHL hasn't seen a dynasty since the eighties; it hasn't seen a back-to-back Stanley Cup champion since the Detroit Red Wings won it in 1997 and 1998.
Closer to home, and the easy assumption would have been that Florentino Perez's first Galactico movement would have swept up league titles and landed La Decima, the tenth European Cup, with ease.
Dynasty may be a long shot when talking about Manchester City for now. Juventus have just won their third title, while Barcelona are the most well-known in recent history, and oddly they could add their fifth La Liga title in six seasons if they beat Atletico Madrid this Saturday. But we mainly attribute Barcelona's great period to the four years in which Pep Guardiola was coach.
Manchester City can be a success, and success for them is only measured by how many titles they bring home. But there also has to be an analysis of the manager. Is the manager one of the right pieces for the puzzle?
Manuel Pellegrini, at 60, finally landed his first league title as a manager in Europe. Some may say that he's been a victim of unfortunate timing. While he was at Real Madrid, he secured the club their highest points tally in La Liga up until that point, but was beaten to the title by Guardiola's Barcelona. On top of that, he and Real crashed out of the Champions League knockout phase at the first hurdle to Lyon. In Italy, Jose Mourinho would go on to land the treble with Inter Milan. No coach has done that for Madrid, but the focus was on Mourinho's success in Europe.
It's also worth looking at Pellegrini's time with Villarreal. His successes in the Champions League (and also with Malaga) have been much publicised, but he did once guide the Yellow Submarine to second place in La Liga, 10 points ahead of Barcelona.
Pellegrini was unfashionable at Real Madrid and never accepted. With City, he's exactly what they're looking for to uphold those "holistic" values.
Pellegrini has been known for incredible feats of accomplishment with limited resources – and Malaga's adventure deep into the Champions League was during a time of financial uncertainty – so his winning of the Premier League title with Manchester City this past weekend shouldn't have been much of a surprise.
Despite what City's designs are on the Champions League, the first obstacle to overcome is in retaining the league title.
It's probably the most uncertain period in the Premier League's history. Manchester United have fallen away and need to be built back up; Jose Mourinho's Chelsea may come back a stronger force next season, though with the Portuguese you never know; and then there's the added threat of Liverpool and Arsenal.
It's an uncertain period for the Premier League, but one Manchester City can capitalise on.
The question is whether City themselves can capitalise on the good they have. Every club is in danger of tripping itself up when it initially appears impossible to do so. City's lacklustre effort in the market following their title win under Roberto Mancini is an example, so too is the fiery atmosphere the Italian created.
Dynasty is too long a projection to hold in English football, or anywhere in Europe. Success breeds further success, in theory, and Pellegrini is good enough, with the right people around him. Before setting too high a marker, the next target, the realistic target, is retaining the league title.
After that, lay down the next building block.

My son Aidan makes his living as a musician in Vancouver. He has a regular gig in the lounge at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel, a high-end downtown spot with a stunning view of the water and mountains.
We went to hear Aidan play while visiting him and his brother after Christmas. I was perusing the beverage menu looking for something that wasn't too overpriced, when I came across this:
Balvenie 50 2600/5200
|From the beverage menu
Pacific Rim Hotel
"Do people order this?" I asked my son. "All the time," he answered.
Clearly, there are people who will shell out $2600 for an ounce of Scotch. But, equally clearly, they live in a different world than I do, a world I can scarcely comprehend.
But it's becoming more and more like that, isn't it? For all our connectedness, we feel like there are worlds of people out there whose lives we can't even imagine. We are becoming more and more isolated from one another, inhabiting social, economic, political and cultural bubbles, and interacting less and less with people from other worlds.
One of the best books I've read in a long time was Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. Vance is a Yale educated lawyer, but he grew up in the subculture of Appalachia. His grandfather had moved from Kentucky to Ohio in the 1960s to work in a
Vance wrote the book to provide a window into the much-maligned and mocked way of life. Reading it really helped me understand people I am quick to dismiss – and to understand why those people helped to propel Donald Trump to the White House.
Our churches say that they welcome everyone. But if that is true, why do our congregations look so much the same? It hard to venture out beyond our comfort zones and encounter people from worlds very different from our own. It takes courage, effort and imagination.
But the ability to do that will become a more and more vital skill, not only to save our churches, to but keep our world liveable.
As Christians, we need to reach out to people from different worlds. But the reason we must do that is that we affirm another, more profound truth: for all our differences, we all inhabit the same world.
"We are not alone. We live in God's world."
This is the crucial and counter-cultural message of the Gospel. In spite of everything that divides us, we share the most important things in common:
We are all made in the image of God.
We are all broken (by what Scripture calls sin).
We are all in need of healing.
We are all loved and forgiven through Christ.
We persist in believing and affirming these things as true of all people, whether they share our faith or not. And these beliefs shape how we live and behave.
As our world becomes more dangerously fragmented, Christians have a sacred calling to both to encounter people from different worlds, and to announce that we all live in God's world.
All of us, Even those who can order a $2600 glass of Scotch.

Comedian and car-show host Jerry Seinfeld is parting with a trio of his prized Porsches — the first of multiple vehicles from his collection that could be headed to auction.
The three will be on display at the Gooding & Co. auction in Phoenix, starting Jan. 29. They will go under the gavel at Gooding's Amelia Island, Fla., auction in March, along with about 80 other valuable collector cars.
The "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" host is selling a 1955 Porsche 550 Spyder, a 1958 Porsche 356 A 1500 GS/GT Carrera Speedster and a 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR.
"We are grateful and honored to be entrusted with these superb examples from the collection of Jerry Seinfeld," said David Gooding, the auction house's president.
The 1955 550 Spyder, Porsche's original four-cam sports racing car, is an unrestored vehicle, with its original chassis, body and engine, with 10,300 miles on the odometer. It is valued by the auction house at $5 million to $6 million.
The 1958 Porsche Carrera Speedster, one of only 151 Carrera Speedsters built, was recently restored and has been a prize winner at the Quail Motorsports Gathering in Carmel Valley. The car is expected by Gooding to bring upwards of $2 million.
The 1974 Porsche 911 Carrera 3.0 IROC RSR, originally owned by transportation and racing magnate Roger Penske, was a race contender in the 1970s at Riverside Raceway and Daytona Speedway, and has participated in Daytona vintage races. It is expected to fetch more than $1.2 million, Gooding said.
Why is Seinfeld selling? The comedian didn't say. But in a prepared statement released by the auction house, he said he'd never bought a car as an investment and doesn't even think of himself as a collector.
"I just love cars. And I still love these cars," he said. "But it's time to send some of them back into the world, for someone else to enjoy, as I have."
These aren't the first Seinfeld Porsches to go across the Gooding auction block. The company sold a 1958 356A Speedster owned by Seinfeld for $330,000 at a 2012 Pebble Beach event. And Seinfeld bought another 1958 356A Speedster from Gooding at Pebble Beach in 2015 for a reported $583,000.

Do Bunions Always Need Surgery?
A bunion is a painful deformity of the joint where the bones of the foot and the big toe meet. The enlargement of the bone and tissue around this joint is known as a bunion or hallux valgus. Symptoms of a bunion include a swollen bursal sac, a bony deformity on the side of the great toe joint, tender and swollen tissues surrounding the deformity, and displacement of the big toe, which may turn inward.
Bunions are a result of complex biomechanical changes that occur in your feet. The type of footwear that you wear does cause bunions. We know that foot bunions occur in about 30% of the population of most Western countries but only 3% in Eastern countries. They are seen most commonly in women and become more common as people get older. Tight-fitting shoes are thought to be the main cause of bunions.. Shoes such as high heels and shoes with tight toe boxes (eg womens fashion shoes and cowboy boots) are particularly damaging to the toes. These shoes have a sloping foot bed and a narrow toe box. The slope causes the front of the foot to bear your weight, which encourages your forefoot to widen. Also, the angle pushes your toes into the narrow toe box, causing the toes to become angled and squeezed together.
Red, thickened skin along the inside edge of the big toe. A bony bump at this site. Pain over the joint, which pressure from shoes makes worse. Big toe turned toward the other toes and may cross over the second toe.
Before examining your foot, the doctor will ask you about the types of shoes you wear and how often you wear them. He or she also will ask if anyone else in your family has had bunions or if you have had any previous injury to the foot. In most cases, your doctor can diagnose a bunion just by examining your foot. During this exam, you will be asked to move your big toe up and down to see if you can move it as much as you should be able to. The doctor also will look for signs of redness and swelling and ask if the area is painful. Your doctor may want to order X-rays of the foot to check for other causes of pain, to determine whether there is significant arthritis and to see if the bones are aligned properly.
Non Surgical Treatment
When a bunion first begins to develop, take good care of your feet. Wear wide-toed shoes. This can often solve the problem and prevent you from needing more treatment. Wear felt or foam pads on your foot to protect the bunion, or devices called spacers to separate the first and second toes. These are available at drugstores. Try cutting a hole in a pair of old, comfortable shoes to wear around the house.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery takes place either under local or general anaesthetic and takes about one hour. After surgery you will have either a plaster cast or special dressing on the foot and you will be given a special walking shoe and crutches to use the first few days/weeks. Recovery usually takes approximately 6-8 weeks but swelling often lasts longer and it may take a few months before you are able to wear normal shoes again. Full recovery can take up to a year. Bunion surgery is successful in approximately 85% of cases, but it is vital not to go back to wearing ill-fitting shoes else the problem is likely to return.

A very Happy Independence Day to everyone on either side of the border. In the 64th year of independence how free are we? I mean, I don't want to get into the political and literal aspects of freedom and the connotations it spurs in our minds, I am talking of something more deep. I am talking about the relevance of Independence in our lives.
Since 1947 we have fought just 3 wars, the latest being in '99 at Kargill. So does that mean we have been free ever since? Or let me just take my case in particular, I was born in '85 so I missed the first two wars, also I read somewhere that almost more than 50% of Indian population is in its 20s so that means they also missed the wars. And most of us during the wartime were not directly related to the war like it used to be in the old days of 'mutiny' and 'Satyagriha'. Now I ponder on the question again ' If we are not fighting any war, how relevant is the Independence to us?'
For me in particular, I feel that we are fighting a more severe battle; without any condescension to our martyrs; because in our case the enemy lies within us, there are no boundaries and no guns in this war. The war that most of us wage is between our hearts and our minds. Most of us are born with some talent and most of us have dreams. But as we grow older, 'reality' start to dawn on us. We realize along the way that being an astronaut or a cricketer is not possible, being a singer or a painter sounds absurd and it seems more sensible to pursue 'safer' options, obviously because we cannot feed our families or satiate the expectations of the society by following the heart. Right?
Practical and sensible makes more sense and seems safer. Thus starts a war which we all wage daily, day in and day out. Some people fight it when they look themselves in the mirror first thing in the morning, some people fight it tossing and turning sleeplessly in their beds and some, when they see some daring warriors win their fights.
For me right now, I fight it day in and day out and console myself by considering it as a prelude to the good fight. Till the day I win my own independence, I will not be able to celebrate and appreciate the happiness independence brings in one's life. And for you, who is reading this, I wish that you too win your war for independence soon.
