Load Firefox Faster After Computer Startup

Running Firefox during first time after PC startup normally takes longer time, which could be around 20 seconds to just load and display the browser. If compare with IE or Google Chrome which only takes few seconds to load the browser, obviously Firefox web browser is lacking its advantages. You may feel annoyed to just wait for such a long period of time for launching the browser. Not to worry, if you are Firefox lover, now with this simple trick, you can improve Firefox loading time to less than 10 seconds.

To improve the loading time, follow below steps as shown below:

1. Right click on Firefox shortcut, then choose Properties.

2. On Target field, it displays Firefox executable full path. Add /prefetch:1 at the end of the path with space in between. After adding the switch, the target field should looks like this: “C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe” /prefetch:1

3. Click OK to save the setting.

If you would like to test out and confirm if it really works after completing above steps, you can hibernate/re-start your computer, then launch Firefox browser and count the time it takes to display the browser. You will notice that the time taken to load and display Firefox browser during first time launching after the PC startup is improved drastically. Hope this simple trick will help you to work more effective without doing nothing just to wait for it to load the browser.

10 Steps to Learning from Your Past Mistakes

I've written before about how I strongly believe that in life you should have no regrets. Quite simply you cannot change what has gone before so why waste time regretting what you cannot alter? But that's not to say that you should ignore the things you have done in the past that went wrong or those occasions when you made mistakes. Instead you should always be prepared to learn from them and so take something positive from all of your experiences.

So I'm going to ask you to look back, just for a moment. Bring to mind something from your past where things went wrong or you believe you made a mistake or failed to achieve what you wanted to do. It may even be that something continues to play on your mind and so possibly prevents you from doing today the things that you really desire. You may have to go back to your childhood or it could just as easily be something that happened in the last week that it is still really bugging you.

Whatever it is be open and honest with yourself and then follow these 10 simple steps:

Step 1

Write down exactly what happened with as much detail as you can. Be precise and try not to let any feelings you have about the incident cause you to edit or leave out important facts.

Step 2

Define what part you had in the incident. What actions did you take, were they deliberate acts, or were they things you were persuaded or even forced to do by someone else?

Step 3

Define who else was involved and what they actually did. It's important to be completely honest and, for instance, identify whether someone may have prevented you from doing something or perhaps tried to stop you from taking a particular course of action.

Step 4

Ask yourself truthfully what you could have done differently that would have resulted in a better outcome. Be thorough because it may only be a little thing but it could make all the difference in the future.

Step 5

Identify what anyone else involved could have done differently and what you could have done to help them to do so. Be prepared to admit where you were at fault including by maybe just standing by and letting something happen.

Step 6

Define what the best outcome would have been for everyone concerned.

Step 7

Having followed the steps so far, now write a plan for how you would achieve the desired outcome in the event of the incident occurring today. Be clear and concise in the steps you would take and how you would interact with anyone else involved.

Step 8

Write a list of all the things you have learned by carrying out this exercise. Once again you must ensure you are honest with yourself and don't ignore things that might be less then palatable to you.

Step 9

Identify how the things you have learned can help you to achieve the goals you have and what additional things you need. Establish clearly what you have learned about your strengths and weaknesses and how you can act upon them.

Step 10

Write a clear plan as to what you are going to do in order to put to use what you have learned. Only by setting and following well thought out, well-planned, and written goals will you achieve what you want in life.

We all make mistakes and get things wrong but by having a genuine desire to learn from the events in the past you can truly take advantage and move forward. Don't let the mistakes of your past spoil your future.

Tips To Improve Laptop Performance

How to Boost Computers/Laptops Performance

Clear the startup programs: When you start up Windows, several programs start and get loaded on to memory. These take up precious memory. Ideally, you should remove them using the settings provided in the programs themselves. But, if you can’t, then use Startup Control Panel to do that. This program after its installation will be found in the Control Panel.




• RAM: A machine’s speed can be simply improved by adding more RAM rather than going for a CPU upgrade. Get some additional RAM and see the improvement. If you have adequate RAM, but memory supply seems to be bottlenecked, then use RamBooster. It routinely frees some memory and can be custom adjusted for your needs. There are several such programs, but most of them make your system unstable. I had found no such problems with Rambooster.

• Watch the programs in memory: Using software such as TaskInfo to find out which are the programs that are running in memory and weed out those that you do not need.

• Three-button salute: If you cannot get software such as Taskinfo, then just press Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination once to bring up the Close Program dialog box. Ideally, when you have all programs closed and your taskbar is empty, there should be just three programs in this box - explorer, system tray, and your antivirus program. All other programs should be a waste. Most common culprits are Microsoft office, RealPlayer, Winamp, antivirus scheduler, etc. Just remove all those that are not needed using Startup Control Panel or using msconfig from the Run dialog box.

• Increasing the performance of individual programs: You can increase the speed of a program, by setting the priority of the program’s process thread to either High or Realtime. Use TaskInfo (in Win 9x/ME) or Task Manager (in Windows 2000 by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del). Do not go overboard on this or your system will look very unresponsive.

• Active Desktop: Unless you run stock market price tickers on your desktop, deactivate Active Desktop to save memory. If you have enabled Active Desktop just to enable a GIF or JPEG file as the background, then convert the file to a BMP file and set that as the wallpaper without Active Desktop.

• Plain desktop: Remove the desktop background image and set it None. This will save some memory.

• Screen resolution: Set your screen resolution to 15 bit or 16 bit for both speed and saving memory. Set a higher level only when playing games and other such special stuff that require better resolutions.

• Clear the Desktop: Remove all unwanted icons from the desktop and shortcuts from the desktop and the quick launch bar. If you have shortcuts for CD drives, windows will check for their contents every time it loads up and cause a delay.

• Delete sound events: If you remove the sound events, your operations will get faster and are less likely to hang. To do so, go to Control Panel » Sounds and Multimedia » Schemes and then choose No Sounds.

To make our muscle more susceptible to insulin, you can eat foods above, which can help you to store more glycogen and grow more muscle mass. In order to forbid deteriorating of muscle and helping the metabolism of protein, we need glutamine. And the above biological process helps to preserve the storage of glutamine.

Cell Stress Increases Risk of Liver Disease

Scientists at the University of Iowa and the University of Michigan recently reported the findings of a study that uncovered a "direct link between disruption of a critical cellular housekeeping process and fatty liver disease.

The findings were reported in a recent issue of Developmental Cell and may explain the background behind the development of this condition, which affects one in three U.S. adults and is "the most common form of the condition in the Western world," according to a Science Daily news article.

The study reported that when mice developed cellular stress caused by mutations in their genes, which could occur in adults and is often a characteristic of linked to plaque development in Alzheimer's disease, they were unable to cope with or guard against the "cellular stress caused by protein folding problems," according to Science Daily.

According to a medical dictionary published by Princeton University, "protein folding is the physical process by which a polypeptide folds into its characteristic and functional three-dimensional structure." While protein folding is an essential process within the body, when proteins are unfolded or miss-folded it is often a sign of cellular stress, thus increasing the risk of developing amyloid plaques, which are linked to Alzheimer's and now the onset of fatty liver disease.

However, investigators are continuing their research and looking at additional physiological stresses to understand what may also lead to the development of fatty liver disease. Additional physiological stresses may include the following according to the Science Daily news article:

* chronic alcohol abuse/consumption

* obesity

* viral infection

Other Causes of Liver Disease

Fatty liver disease occurs when "build-up of excess fat in the liver cells is produced," according to the American Liver Foundation (ALF). There are several causes behind the development of the condition, according to ALF, including:

* alcohol consumption/abuse

* lack of physical activity

* developing diabetes

* elevated triglyceride levels

* obesity, including a body mass index (BMI) of above 30

* overweight, such as having a BMI of 25 to 30

While ALF reports that "fatty liver may cause no damage" it can also cause inflammation of the liver, which is known as steatohepatitis. Over time, fatty liver disease may cause the liver, which is inflamed, to harden and scar causing cirrhosis of the liver which is a key factor in leading to liver failure and liver damage/disease.

Prescription Drug Liver Dangers

In addition to the previously mentioned causes of liver damage and liver disease, there also remains a new and disturbing trend among the development of these conditions, which includes consumption of dangerous prescription drugs. One such prescription drug that has been linked to the onset of liver disease is that of Ketek, which is an antibiotic used to treat upper respiratory conditions and antibacterial illnesses among adults.

Ketek was released from Sanofi-Aventis in 2004, however, there have been approximately 100 cases of Ketek-induced liver damage that have been reported during the last few years including at least 18 deaths allegedly caused by the drug's consumption. In 2006, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health advisory on the Ketek dangers, but no recall of the drug occurred.

Individuals who have been subject to any of the Ketek side effects including liver disease, liver damage or liver failure, are encouraged to contact a medical professional as well as a knowledgeable pharmaceutical attorney as it may be necessary to develop a Ketek class action lawsuit

The Worlds Can End at 2012

Scientific experts from around the world are genuinely predicting that five years from now, all life on Earth could well finish. Some are saying it'll be humans that set it off. Others believe that a natural phenomenon will be the cause. And the religious folks are saying it'll be God himself who presses the stop button...














Can we believe it ? Are we ready for it ? Is it true ?

Reasons why the worlds can end at 2012



Mayan Calendar


The first mob to predict 2012 as the end of the world were the Mayans, a bloodthirsty race that were good at two things:Building highly accurate astrological equipment out of stone andSacrificing Virgins.Thousands of years ago they managed to calculate the length of the lunar moon as 329.53020 days, only 34 seconds out. The Mayan calendar predicts that the Earth will end on December 21, 2012. Given that they were pretty close to the mark with the lunar cycle, it's likely they've got the end of the world right as well.






Sun Storms




Solar experts from around the world monitoring the sun have made a startling discovery: our sun is in a bit of strife. The energy output of the sun is, like most things in nature, cyclic, and it's supposed to be in the middle of a period of relative stability. However, recent solar storms have been bombarding the Earth with so much radiation energy, it's been knocking out power grids and destroying satellites. This activity is predicted to get worse, and calculations suggest it'll reach its deadly peak sometime in 2012..



The Atom Smasher

Scientists in Europe have been building the world's largest particle accelerator. Basically its a 27km tunnel designed to smash atoms together to find out what makes the Universe tick. However, the mega-gadget has caused serious concern, with some scientists suggesting that it's properly even a bad idea to turn it on in the first place. They're predicting all manner of deadly results, including mini black holes. So when this machine is fired up for its first serious experiment in 2012, the world could be crushed into a super-dense blob the size of a basketball.


Super Volcano

Yellowstone National Park in the United States is famous for its thermal springs and Old Faithful geyser. The reason for this is simple - it's sitting on top of the world's biggest volcano, and geological experts are beginning to get nervous sweats. The Yellowstone volcano has a pattern of erupting every 650,000 years or so, and we're many years overdue for an explosion that will fill the atmosphere with ash, blocking the sun and plunging the Earth into a frozen winter that could last up to 15,000 years. The pressure under the Yellowstone is building steadily, and geologists have set 2012 as a likely date for the big bang.


The Physicists


This one's case of bog-simple maths mathematics. Physicists at Berekely Uni have been crunching the numbers. and they've determined that the Earth is well overdue for a major catastrophic event. Even worse, they're claiming their calculations prove, that we're all going to die, very soon - while also saying their prediction comes with a certainty of 99 percent- and 2012 just happens to be the best guess as to when it occurs.



Slip-Slop-Slap-BANG!


We all know the Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field that sheilds us from most of the sun's radiation. What you might not know is that the magnetic poles we call north and south have a nasty habit of swapping places every 750,000 years or so - and right now we're about 30,000 years overdue. Scientists have noted that the poles are drifting apart roughly 20-30kms each year, much faster than ever before, which points to a pole-shift being right around the corner. While the pole shift is underway, the magnetic field is disrupted and will eventually disappear, sometimes for up to 100 years. The result is enough UV outdoors to crisp your skin in seconds, killing everything it touches.

Tips For Making Love the Right Way

Love makes the world go round. And an extension to it is making love to your partner. When you love someone, it can be taken to the next level by making love to that person. Making love connects both of you emotionally and it builds an intimacy that is very healthy for both. Lovemaking is generally full of fun and energy when we are young but after few years of togetherness, it might become just a mundane routine. It is a known fact that not many people experience satisfaction in making love after being together for some time. We get so lost in the rat race that we tend to ignore the most beautiful part of a relationship between two lovers.

What is the solution to this problem? Is there any way to bring back the lost magic and feel the same sexual energy that you once had? Yes! It is possible to bring the spark back into your lovemaking. All it takes is the will to bring it back and small efforts from both the partners. Here are a few tips for making love the right way.

* Setting the mood: Setting the mood is what converts the ordinary into extra ordinary. Imagine the pleasure your partner is going to experience when you set the surroundings for making love. Dim light, soft romantic or passionate music, lighting aroma candles all around, can be used for creating the right atmosphere for making love. Besides setting the mood it gives a feeling of importance to your partner that you wanted to make it special for him/her.

* Sensual touch: When the mood is set, you would not be able to keep your hands off each other. This is where you have to be careful. Don't be in a hurry to start lovemaking. Hold your partner for a long time. Touch each other slowly, tenderly, and sensually and enjoy each other's body. This foreplay is going to elevate your pleasure and make you ready for the main attraction.

* Communication: This is a very important aspect of making love. When you like something your partner is doing, don't forget to appreciate. When you want your partner to do something, don't forget to ask. Don't force your wishes on to your partner and respect his/her wishes too. Communication is not just appreciation or request, you must also tell your partner how much you love him or her, how much you enjoy making love to him/her and how much you need your partner.

* Experiment: Why does making love lose its charm? It is because you want to do it the same way every time. Be experimental and spontaneous! Try making love in different places and in different ways. A quickie once in a while can also be an aphrodisiac. It is going to bring in a lot of excitement and a lot of fun.

* Take your time: Don't be in a rush to finish things off. Remember that you are not performing a duty that needs to be completed in time. Lovemaking is for enjoyment, intimacy and satisfaction. Taking time, holding back will give both of you more intimate experience and in the end, a wonderful climax!

Helping others to develop a deeper, more loving relationship is Brooke's passion. Find out how you can Make Love Grow in your relationship

New Therapy Treats Lung Cancer

The results of an international Phase III clinical trial on the effects of an oral prescription medication as a treatment of lung cancer has concluded that the drug is just as effective, if not more so among certain tumor patients, than that of chemotherapy, according to reports from a Science Daily article.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center and followed 1,466 lung cancer patients in 24 different countries around the world. Patients participated in receiving randomized treatments of Iressa, a once-daily tablet, or docetaxel, which is a form of chemotherapy.

Patients who received chemotherapy treatments were found to have an overall median survival rate of 8 months and 34 percent had a one-year survival rate. Similarly, patients given the Iressa treatment had an overall survival rate of 7.6 months with a 32 percent survival rate of one year.

However, while Iressa appears to be on par with the chemotherapy treatment, scientists found that lung cancer patients who suffered from tumors with EGFR gene mutations and who were given Iressa had "an improved response rate and progression-free survival compared to docetaxel," according to researchers of the study who spoke with Science Daily.

Iressa is a considered a "biological oral therapy" and, according to the researchers from the news article, "this is the largest study in lung cancer comparing an oral biologic to chemotherapy, and shows, for the first time that an oral biologic therapy is just as effective as chemotherapy."

Lung Cancer Causes and Prevention

According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), lung cancer is considered a leading cause of death in the United States. Science Daily reported that "in 2008, approximately 215,000 people will be diagnosed with lung cancer and approximately 114,000 people will die from the disease." Additionally, the Mayo Clinic reports that "smoking causes the majority of lung cancers -- both in smokers and in people exposed to secondhand smoke."

Because the condition is considered preventable through smoking cessation therapies, the Surgeon General has outlined several steps that may assist a smoker in quitting the often addictive habit.

* Set a date to quite within two weeks.

* Remove all tobacco products from work and home environments.

* Alert friends, family, coworkers of your decision and request support.

* If any past attempts at quitting have occurred, review and determine what didn’t and did work.

* Make a pro list on reasons for quitting as well as benefits of quitting.

* Try to determine challenges in advance and determine strategies to overcome these anticipated challenges.

In addition to this method, there are several varieties of nicotine replacement therapies (NRT), both prescription and non-prescription, that can assist a smoker in succeeding with quitting their tobacco addiction. The ACS reported the following as several smoking cessation aids:

* nicotine gum

* nicotine patches

* nicotine nasal spray

* nicotine inhalers

* nicotine lozenges

* high dose nicotine replacement therapy (Zyban, Chantix)

Smoking Cessation Prescription Drug Dangers

Unfortunately, not all smoking cessation prescription or non-prescription aids are ideal for an individual and some come with dangerous side effects. For example, one such smoking-cessation prescription drug that continues to make headlines for its alleged risks is that of Chantix (varenicline tartrate). Chantix, from Pfizer, was released in May 2006 and is currently consumed by nearly 3 million Americans hoping to quit their nicotine addictions.

In November 2007, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began receiving hundreds of complaints associated with the consumption of Chantix. The drug was allegedly causing suicidal behaviors and tendencies among patients, 37 of which were successful in committing suicide. The FDA began investigating the Chantix risks, but did not recall the drug from the market.

Tips For a Successful Niche Marketing Campaign

Do you know how people make thousands of dollars by using the internet? It’s a thing called internet marketing that is making people rich all over the world. This is not as complicated as many people think it might be. Here are a few easy steps that will take you to where the money is:

Know your customers. Find out what they need so that you can spot the sort of products or services that they want and need. You can do this by looking at what keywords people type into search engines when they log onto the web.

Build your niche market. When you have selected that which your customers want—you have to sell it! Put up a website that advertises your products. Do not be ashamed to advertise openly the product that you are using. Publishing the popular keywords onto your website will allow search engines to detect your site easily and bring your customers to you.

Sit back, relax and watch the money come to you!

After reading this, you might think that everything is so ridiculously easy… Well, it is relatively easy. Those three steps are pretty basic internet marketing strategy but this is the same strategy that all internet marketing companies adhere to.

Making money from the internet is easy as long as you find the right niche market where you can easily provide service for your customers. Finding the right product or service that you can provide people is the challenge.

For example, you know that people log onto the net looking for different ways to lose weight and you want to provide them a program that will allow them to lose weight. However, you don’t know anything about physical fitness and you have no inclination towards that.

After all, one tenet in internet marketing strategy is how one should fully satisfy one’s customer because this is the easiest way to get word about your product around.

JVC claims world’s lightest TV

What monicker would you like to go by? World’s thinnest? World’s biggest? How about the world’s lightest? That last one is what JVC’s claiming that its latest telly is. In fact it’s saying it’s so light that you can hang it from the ceiling.

So how light can an LCD be? Well, this 32-incher from JVC is only 5kg. That’s the same as five 1kg bags of flour (oh yes Math fans, we’ve been doing our Brain Training). Aside from being as light as a heavy feather, what else does this TV have to whet our gadget appetites? Well, with liquid crystal display technology and a 1080p resolution it’ll throw out spiffy-looking pictures on it’s 7mm-thin screen.

It’s also eco-friendly, using half the amount of materials manufacturers normally use to make a television, and less mercury. All of which means you’ll be (sort of) saving the planet whilst watching the latest goings-on in Home and Away. And that can’t be bad, can it?

Dating Tips For Both Women & Men

Everyone of all levels of the dating game will have something to learn from the top dating tips, advice and philosophies in order to get themselves a better relationship. The first thing is that good looks do not always lead to good relationships. Have we not seen too much celebrity breakups? They also struggle in love so ultimately it’s not about looks, though it does play a part. There are no perfect tips or magic tricks that can lead to good relationships, but there are many tips to follow that altogether bring forth a better relationship. Remember different things work for different people.


Get prepared and do some due diligence on which types of people you are going to date. The Internet is a great tool to use. Also be mentally prepared for bad ending. A wise man once said “Never underestimate the unimportance of nearly everything”.

Prepare to look good. Buying good clothes and sporting a good hairstyle is not enough. You have to work your body and read magazines that relate to dating, get some health tips, eat well and maybe get some supplements as well. This is a great way to boost confidence and that definitely helps.

Know your game plan. Do you want to just have a happy peaceful courtship or do you actually plan to get married and in how long? You have to first find those answers in yourself, and ultimately let your date know.

Boost your confidence through the above tips and do some reading regarding confidence or some other emotions. Avoid the negatives in life. You should be old enough to know which friends are better left alone. This way you lead a better, more confident life.

Join social clubs and frequent places of social gathering. This lets you meet more people and is definitely better than just random approaching some girls outdoors. Now you have more people to choose from. Be realistic about what sort of person you want to date. Ideally, the personalities should match. If it is not, at least one part is going to be unhappy.

If all is well, take a break sometimes away from dating. If all is not well, all the more you should take a break to cool yourself. Then analyze where you have gone wrong, where you need to improve on keep improving yourself. After all, mature people know that growth is lifelong and does not stop with age.

Enjoy dating as if it is sport. It should not occupy your life. It is simply meeting people and getting along well with them. It is an activity that is good in all ways. You never know that the people you meet will bring you a love life, or a business opportunity or some other great stuff life has to offer.

Reasons People Fail to Lose Weight Fast and Keep It Off

I believe rapid fat loss, and permanent fat loss, is easily accomplished when people have the correct plan in place.

I believe there are three key reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep it off. Rapid fat loss is easily achieved once dieters understand these three keys.

The following are my top three reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep the unwanted pounds and inches off:



Lack of support:

All the latest research has shown how critical it is for dieters to have a support system in place. When times get tough, and they will, people need to have a community of positive people to turn to that will help them achieve their rapid fat loss goals.

People who seek social support may be 42% more likely to lose weight compared to those who do not seek social support. Remember the mindset you are creating ... social support is a significant part of your new mindset. Surround yourself with positive people who will be there to help keep you on track.

Where should your social support come from? Don't assume your family members are the best candidates. Sometimes they are the worst choices! Anyone who has a negative attitude concerning your body weight should not have a role in your social support. Friends or colleagues who also want to lose weight may be good allies because you can work together to keep each other on track.

For starters your social support is the forum and your fellow participants. Of course I always recommend finding your social support in family members or friends as well.

No emphasis on lifestyle changes:

A very big reason people fail to maintain their rapid fat loss for a lifetime is a complete failure to focus on lifestyle changes. Temporary fixes and fad diets need to be replaced by healthy habits and a new self-image. I believe people put too much emphasis on the "lose weight fast" and not enough on the lifestyle changes necessary to keep the pounds from ever coming back.

Lifestyle changes means consuming whole foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar, such as lean protein (lean beef, chicken, fish, whey protein), fruits and vegetables (oranges, apples, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, peppers, asparagus, carrots), nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), and whole grains.

It also means eating low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as vegetables, wholegrain products and oatmeal instead of refined, processed carbohydrates. Refined, process carbs usually come in a box or a bag. Shoot for starches that contain at least 3 grams of fiber per serving.

Paralysis by analysis:

Too often dieters wait for the perfect time or want to have the perfect plan in place before trying to lose weight fast and keep it off. The plan only needs be good enough to get started. Creating a weight loss plan is mandatory, but not at the expense of never getting started on the road to rapid fat loss. Create a plan centered around a support community and lifestyle changes and adjust the plan as necessary.

Master Cleanse Secrets 10 Day Diet

Don't Go Breaking Your Heart

Recent studies have shown that inflammation is closely linked to many health disorders including cancer, diabetes, DNA damage, and heart disease.

Inflammation is the process by which the body responds to infection or injury. But studies have shown that inflammation is also a key factor in the onset of atherosclerosis, the process in which fatty deposits build up in the arteries of the heart, leading to possible blockages and other cardio-related issues.

Here are some tips to identify and deal with the effects of inflammation in the body.

Get Tested

You won't see this test on the normal checkup menu, but you can request your doctor to administer a high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) test. Just think how impressed he or she will be that you even know what that means.

A CRP level of 1 mg/L or greater indicates a risk for heart disease. A level greater than 3mg/L places you in the high risk category.

Take the test at least twice over a period of 2-3 months to ensure accurate and consistent results.

Go Fish

Experts recommend the intake of a 4:1 ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3s. However, the typical American diet provides 12 to 25 times the amount of omega-6s, in the form of saturated fats such as soy, canola, sunflower, and corn oils, as omega-3s. To achieve a healthy balance, try to eat 2-3 servings of fatty fish, such as salmon or trout, per week.

Eat Mor Chikin - Maybe Not

Gotta love those crazy cows in the Chick Filet commercials, but maybe they have it all wrong. Chicken has a high concentration of arachidonic acid, a fatty acid that encourages the body's production of inflammation causing chemicals. Lean beef contains half as much arachidonic acid and also provides high levels of the inflammation fighters selenium and zinc.

And when it comes to beef, grass-fed is always better due to the healthier omega acids balance.

Lose That Gut

It has been proven that the most effective way to reduce CRP levels, is to reduce excessive abdominal fat.

The Rainbow Is Your Friend

Flavonoids found in brightly colored vegetables and fruits not only provide healthy antioxidants, but also serve to reduce inflammation in body tissue. Choose from peppers, blueberries, sweet potatoes, oranges, grapes, and other colorful raw foods to enhance your daily diet.

A Little Spice'll Do You

A diet that includes 3-5 grams of ginger or tumeric a day has been shown to suppress production of inflammation causing chemicals in the body. Interestingly, studies have shown that these spicy substances work at the DNA level to shut down the genes responsible for inflammation.

Pass The Beans

A high fiber diet (30+ grams/day) can reduce CRP levels by 12-15 percent. A diet rich in whole grains and beans will ensure that you meet the required levels. Black beans, lentils, Buckwheat, and amaranth are excellent choices.

It's also critical to remember that recent studies have shown that as fitness levels go down, CRP levels go up.

Researchers are not sure if poor fitness leads to an increase in CRP or vice versa, but exercise is an important part of maintaining a healthy heart either way.

Thunderbird Fixes Seven Vulnerabilities

A new version of Mozilla's email application Thunderbird was released last Wednesday to fix seven flaws rated, five of which were rated as moderate.

Thunderbid 2.0.0.19 addressed a vulnerability titled XSS and JavaScript privilege escalation, which involves XBL binding and can be used to "violate the same-origin policy and execute arbitrary JavaScript within the context of a different website, according to a Mozilla press release.

Another flaw, XMLHttpRequest 302 response disclosure, could have allowed sensitive data on a machine to be revealed.

However, the "cross-domain data theft via script redirect error message" may be the flaw that could have potentially caused the most damage. Had it been left unfixed, it could have been used by a malicious website to steal private data from users on a redirected website.

The five moderate flaws were the same fixed in the latest Firefox browser update last month, which appeared to be a response to the security issues IE was experience with its Zero Day flaw.
