Complex carbohydrates such as whole bread require the body to work harder to get the energy out of these calories, so some of the calories are actually burned in the processing of these foods in the body. In fact, your body doesn't even like to change carbohydrates to fat. It prefers to keep them in the form of glycogen(that's the energy stored in your muscles and liver) so they will be ready for immediate use when you exercise.</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">This means that carbohydrates should be the food of choice for everyone. The body prefers to use carbs but it prefers to store fat. So when you eat a baked potato topped with butter and sour cream, the potato will be burned up before you eat your next meal. The butter and sour cream, however, will likely be stored somewhere in body. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Life is full of choices, and most them affect us in one way or another. While choosing the right foods can affect your life today, choosing to serve God will affect you for all eternity. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">-Kean<i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i></div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-68995439472967112772010-07-12T02:40:00.000-07:002010-07-31T03:28:41.465-07:00Essential in controlling obesityFirst of all, exercise is essential in controlling obesity.

And the less we eat, the less we want to eat? These are proven facts. This principle is okay in moderation, but a person with an eating disorder or someone with compulsive, obsessive behavior usually goes overboard. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The key is balance. Exercise and diet are only a part of our life. When your eating is normalized, then changes can be made-moderately. Routine regular exercise is good, but the motive should be to build not to punish. A healthy attitude is the most important factor in developing a healthy body. </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">With a balanced attitude, we can develop good habits and maintain self-control. Destruction occurs when compulsion and obsession are behind our actions. Be a wise woman/man and keep everything in perspective.

Sure you can gift him a wonderful present - a tie, a shirt or fancy gadgets and he is going to appreciate the gesture. But today things have become so much commercialized that gifts sometimes sound and look a mere formality. Now this is not the reason we celebrate Father's Day - just to present a gift and say a formal Happy Father's Day.<br /><br />If you really love Daddy why not express it in the right way. This Father's Day make it a point to spend quality time with daddy and make him feel that it is his special day. Here are some interesting gift ideas rather Priceless Gift Ideas as these costs nothing in monetary terms but are valuable when you think in terms of their sentimental worth for both you and daddy. These will help you to come closer to your daddy and strengthen the affectionate bond between both of you.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Spend a Day with Daddy</span><br />You must be having a busy work schedule managing whole lot of studies or pending office jobs or having occupied yourself in other social engagements but remind yourself that this is Father's Day. It means that you are supposed to spend quality time with dad. Share thoughts with daddy listen to his words of wisdom and note them in your diary. They will always come in handy.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Prepare a Special Father's Day Meal</span><br />There is no better way especially for daughters to please dad than to cook him a sumptuous Father's Day meal. A better idea would be to make an extra effort and cook daddy's favorite dishes. This way you can grant mommy some time away from kitchen so that she can give a relaxed company to daddy.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Write a Letter</span><br />If you are staying away from daddy and for some reason cannot meet him in person write a letter to him. Sending cards is fine but they lack personal touch which comes in a letter. Also have an extended chat on phone and share happy memories. You can call up twice or may be more to compensate for your physical absence and to make Daddy not feel alone<br /><br />-Kean<i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-21378875246333797592010-05-22T22:30:00.000-07:002010-05-22T22:30:00.430-07:00Bleach.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8e30EVmvZW_zKXFRQIZjn-QNhXB8QijiSjY5-XGSh6tO2Vd6Xu2HHPr_idrwJ_8XH7PAIehDPtuEFpbxwJiyk-ZcWKDJr9sJf2B7xlOsmWxR8wClyNt7rV3TCU-HVvtPFg6ya2Ypsf4/s1600/41.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgF8e30EVmvZW_zKXFRQIZjn-QNhXB8QijiSjY5-XGSh6tO2Vd6Xu2HHPr_idrwJ_8XH7PAIehDPtuEFpbxwJiyk-ZcWKDJr9sJf2B7xlOsmWxR8wClyNt7rV3TCU-HVvtPFg6ya2Ypsf4/s400/41.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468768070000333138" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Kurosaki Ichigo is not a regular 15 year old, because he has always had the ability to see spirits and ghosts.

But then one day she goes unannounced to his agency with a delivery, and overhears him talking about her; he reveals to his manager that he only took her with him as a maid, and that he doesn't care for her at all. Upon hearing this, Kyoko doesn't just sit around and cry.

While Hikari considers Kei a rival and somewhat of a friend, Kei loves Hikari. Everyone knows this, but she is too dense to notice. Their wrestling loving fathers first introduced them to one another when they were 6 years old. Assuming that she was the best in wrestling, young Hikari challenged Kei to a wrestling match only to be thoroughly defeated by him. Ever since that fateful incident, Hikari swore to beat Kei in school grades, a sporting event - anything. To do this she has enrolled in the same school as Kei since elementary. Now she attends Hakusenkan, an ultra elite school, that costs her carpenter father a lot of money. Hikari and Kei are the top two students in the school, with Kei holding firmly to that number one position.<br /><br />-Typical shoujo, but is really a funny one.<br /><br />-Kean<i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i></div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-36015990261206349642010-04-28T22:09:00.000-07:002010-05-07T22:11:27.650-07:00Death note.

Users never accepted the less attractive interface, the slower performance, and boring menus with a “corporative style” that require several clicks to execute any function or task.<br /><br />For that reason, Microsoft introduced Windows Phone 7, the last version of its operating system for smartphones. It is supposed to transform a cell phone in a sort of electronic manager that anticipates the users’ needs. For example, this new OS include tools to consult the contacts network and users’ data automatically in order to find scheduled meetings, photos, and messages from friends; then, this information can be presented in an attractive way with a visual aspect similar to the interface of the Zune music player, instead of the traditional interfaces based on personal computers.<br /><br />The development of this new OS required the humble recognition on the part of Microsoft (the biggest sotware maker of the world) that the clumsy architecture of Windows Mobile was a failure in the market. This way, the company needed to start from scratch in order to hopefully be able to compete with Apple and the iPhone.<br /><br />According to Terry Myerson, the VP in charge of Windows Phone engineering, “to be entirely candid, the iPhone opened our eyes as to some things that needed to be done that were not in our plan… Some execution had really gone astray”. It is not clear yet whether the new Microsoft software is really a challenge for Apple, or simply it will end up being just a niche product with a poor result in the industry, just like happened with the Zune and its weak impact compared with the Apple iPod.<br /><br /><br />-Kean<br /><i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i> </div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-51323288727929435902010-04-20T18:00:00.000-07:002010-04-20T18:00:00.502-07:003D without special glasses :)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTX99wO-a3Y4lhrrfujddDUOxaFbRas0R2mjtNWolcatSc1QGx9V2t7J13AzzbZ-2RZsiMuq609FjBYaho9eG-MeMiJ1IK6PlyVQPT36ekKwdu6Y16pA9VMfCbAzkaPdM96uUx9i2GrUg/s1600/3D-display.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 220px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460905650617180674" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTX99wO-a3Y4lhrrfujddDUOxaFbRas0R2mjtNWolcatSc1QGx9V2t7J13AzzbZ-2RZsiMuq609FjBYaho9eG-MeMiJ1IK6PlyVQPT36ekKwdu6Y16pA9VMfCbAzkaPdM96uUx9i2GrUg/s400/3D-display.jpg" /></a><br /><div align="justify">The new Sharp gadgets will show bright and clear three-dimensional images without needing special glasses, which were required (so far) to use this type of technology.<br /><br />The bad news is that those gadgets only will work with 3.4-inch displays, which should be placed at a distance of 30 centimeters (12 inches) from the user’s eyes.<br /><br />Yesterday (April 2), Sharp Corp. introduced some displays for mobile devices (which are able to show three-dimensional animations), as well as touch-sensitive panels where you can browse a gallery of 3D pictures, and a small screen connected to a 3D video camera.<br /><br />In recent months, some 3D movies in domestic formats and TVs with 3D technology have been introduced in the market, too. In fact, at this time, companies like Sony Corp., Panasonic Corp., Samsung Electronics Co. and LG Electronics are selling or plan to launch 3D TVs around the world.

Although it will be very complicated we see CF cards with this capacity, the new range of 48-bit addresses will allow to overcome the limitations of the previous specifications.<br /><br />Shigeto Kanda, Canon representative and CFA chairman of the board (by the way, the CompactFlash Association website is a really really basic and old-fashioned site), pointed out that “the higher capacity and higher performance of CF cards enabled by the 48-bit addressing feature in the CF5.0 specification will further increase the value of DSLR cameras. The Video Performance Guarantee feature of the CF5.0 specification will help CF cards to expand into new markets such as high-speed movie equipment like professional video camcorders.”<br /><br />As was pointed out in the official announcement, the new benefits of the 5.0 specification are mainly supported by the new range of 48-bit addresses, which allows to overcome the previous limitation that established a maximal storage capacity of 137 Gbytes for a CompactFlash card. Again, it will be very complicated the production of 144-petabyte cards in the short term, but of course, the new feature adds a margin of evolution to the industry.<br /><br />Besides the theoretical increase of the capacity, additional improvements for the ATA standard have been added, as well as a better execution control and the so-called “Video Performance Guarantee Profiles” (recording guarantees for storing video), which is a field where CompactFlash cards had lost ground (at least temporally) with other formats such as SDHC that is currently more popular among the DSLR (Digital-SLR) and digital video camera makers.<br /><br />Compact flash is very useful for others that are very outgoing. :)<br /><br />-Kean<br /><i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i> </div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-18270622344148567732010-04-16T17:39:00.000-07:002010-04-16T17:42:09.204-07:00Aspire Ethos.

In addition, apparently, Sony would be creating a device with a wide range of features, so it would not be easy to define it as a netbook, or an e-reader, or a handheld console (like PSP); actually, it would be a combination of all of them.<br /><br />These projects are the reaction of Sony to Apple strategies, particularly regarding the iPad and iPhone. So, this is an interesting competition that, hopefully, will benefit the end users. But, at the same time, it could be interpreted as an obvious and meaningful evolution of the PSP, a console that has had strong competitors since it was launched commercially.<br /><br />As you can imagine, the new smartphone that would be able to play PSP games won’t include slots to insert game cartridges. Instead, they could be connected to the online shop “PlayStation Store” (which is currently accessible by using a PlayStation 3 or PSP console) to download games developed for PSP. Sony Ericsson is working on this smartphone and, most likely, it will impact the mobile market in a strong way. However, it is not clear yet whether the whole PSP catalog will be supported, or only a reduced number of games. Apparently, the original games developed by Sony will be totally supported, but maybe third-party games could have some limitations, at least initially.<br /><br />For the moment, the only thing we can do is to wait for official announcements and watch for the way how these projects move forward, since Sony is constantly surprising us with innovations and unexpected products. After the launch of the PSPGo, which has had very little success, the company needs a new product with a “wow” factor: That would be an opportunity to recover fans and increase earnings.<br /><br /><br />-Kean<br /><i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i></div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-55182963073649280262010-04-10T17:51:00.000-07:002010-04-16T17:54:59.430-07:00USB external hard drive: USB 3.0 SSD Aviator -2<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg91Z1ezVKAtIoVc8dFI4ezEfvEKB2e7vCiFgwvD4WcqNnsRAuTEp6v2sPsFHaMNrD5mBlM0TwZfaDLcF4vA5MQwQvuIwHolv2CqRFFGjoNqGmvFemsvO6srfMzxkvRis8erCGqpD3ChQ/s1600/USB-3-Active-2-SSD-external-drive.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 394px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg91Z1ezVKAtIoVc8dFI4ezEfvEKB2e7vCiFgwvD4WcqNnsRAuTEp6v2sPsFHaMNrD5mBlM0TwZfaDLcF4vA5MQwQvuIwHolv2CqRFFGjoNqGmvFemsvO6srfMzxkvRis8erCGqpD3ChQ/s400/USB-3-Active-2-SSD-external-drive.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460903551054990690" /></a><br />Approximately one year ago, the first SSD drives were introduced: They constitute a new storage system that leaves some magnetic and mechanical parts behind in order to adopt an innovative, faster, silent and efficient way of storing information; however, this technology is still an expensive option with (relatively) low storage capacities and, for that reason, it has not been adopted massively in the market yet.

For example, the installation of the external SSD drives is a really easy process and they can be connected to any PC or laptop in seconds.<br /><br />A new enhanced product in this category is Aviator-2. It is an external SSD drive with a faster transfer speed and an improved performance, thanks to its USB 3.0 port. In fact, a new major feature of the USB 3.0 specification is the SuperSpeed bus that can provide a transfer mode at 4.8 Gbit/s.<br /><br />The maker Active Media Products has introduced the first product of this new generation: An external SSD drive that, initially, will be available in 64GB and 128GB versions. Besides, this drive is supposed to support transfer rates of up to 4Gbits/sec (10 times faster than the USB 2.0 specification).<br /><br />Also, this external SSD drive comes in sizes that are smaller than usual sizes. Specifically, the dimensions are 5.3 x 3.3 x 0.6 inches (135 x 84 x 15 mm); actually, it could be carried in a pocket of a regular jacket. The price of the Aviator-2 is about US$ 260 (190 EUR) for the 64GB version and US$ 453 (333 EUR) for the other version with a storage capacity of up to 128GB.<br /><br /><br />-Kean<br /><i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2978635629413343552.post-64180452853925821032010-04-08T17:48:00.000-07:002010-04-16T17:51:38.230-07:00Apple launches a 27 inch LED monitor.<div align="justify"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij6hThjoSQbyls6n6tlH0Aavb5gDnpTNkIeH4BlG4UXkvsvoDq2az8x7Zw92q8CeqRQI2akX3g-F0y7AyZR_Tvb-_tDSpVIC6UstLJ06FAODy5q_DICfoiVId_q9kuPMI6jMjLiz2SaIk/s1600/LED-monitor.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 326px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 326px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460902628281581330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij6hThjoSQbyls6n6tlH0Aavb5gDnpTNkIeH4BlG4UXkvsvoDq2az8x7Zw92q8CeqRQI2akX3g-F0y7AyZR_Tvb-_tDSpVIC6UstLJ06FAODy5q_DICfoiVId_q9kuPMI6jMjLiz2SaIk/s400/LED-monitor.jpg" /></a><br />Rumors come and go all the time about Apple and its products. This time, some news are appearing regarding a possibility: Apparently, the Cupertino company would be preparing the launch of new 27-inch LED Cinema Displays and, besides that, an update in its Mac Pro line.<br /><br />As for the displays, there won’t be changes (technologically speaking) because, according to some reports, the new displays will be similar to the 24-inch ones that currently exist in the market, which were introduced in October 2008.<br /><br />With this, the company would pretend to introduce another additional screen with similar size to the 27-inch iMacs that have had a successful reception. This thinking is really logic, so the introduction of a device with these characteristics to generate some additional money for Jobs and his company is not an unrealistic plan, but rather a reasonable move.<br /><br />But why now and not before? Well, a possible reason is that Apple would have been waiting for a fall in the high price of LCD panels that support a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels, but apparently, the new products are being developed since a long time ago.<br /><br />On the other hand, regarding the Mac Pro computers, the updates are related to the use of Intel Xeon Processors: The Xeon 5600 Series (12 cores) will be used in new Mac Pro models, while another version will be using a single processor model, with only six cores and a lower price.<br /><br />This is really a must have :)<br /><br />-Kean<br /><i>"every moves are counted, every attacks are calculated, every skills are mastered."</i> </div>ellen4669http://www.blogger.com/profile/05667631154608686786noreply@blogger.com0
