how to lose weight

By
Losing weight is a journey that requires dedication and a holistic approach. Here's a breakdown of key steps to help you achieve your goals:
 * Set Realistic Goals:
   * Start Small: Aim for 1-2 pounds per week, which is a sustainable and healthy pace.
   * Focus on Health: Prioritize improved well-being over just the number on the scale.
   * Track Progress: Use a journal, app, or photos to monitor your journey and celebrate milestones.
 * Nutrition is Key:
   * Balanced Diet: Prioritize fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
   * Portion Control: Be mindful of serving sizes to avoid overeating.
   * Limit Processed Foods: Reduce intake of sugary drinks, fast food, and processed snacks.
   * Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
 * Regular Exercise:
   * Find What You Enjoy: Whether it's dancing, hiking, or swimming, make exercise fun.
   * Mix It Up: Incorporate both cardio and strength training for overall fitness.
   * Set a Schedule: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week.
 * Mindful Eating:
   * Listen to Your Body: Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're satisfied, not stuffed.
   * Eat Slowly: Savor each bite and pay attention to your body's signals.
   * Reduce Distractions: Avoid eating in front of the TV or computer to focus on your meal.
 * Lifestyle Changes:
   * Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night.
   * Manage Stress: Practice relaxation techniques like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing.
   * Seek Support: Join a weight loss group or find a workout buddy to stay motivated.
Remember, sustainable weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint. Be patient, kind to yourself, and celebrate every step forward. If you have underlying health conditions, consult your doctor before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine.

Some observations on Script Callbacks, "AJAX", "ATLAS" "AHAB" and where it's all going.

By
I've taken a more than cursory interest in the whole Remote Scripting (.NET species) vs. AJAX and now ATLAS discussion, mostly because I started using Remote Scripting since Microsoft first released it, and because I continued to refine it after seeing Brent Ashley's excellent work with JSRS, which was one of the first "real" cross-browser solutions back in 2000 (that's the turn of the Century for you history buffs). Now Bertrand Leroy, a Microsoft guy whose work I like , has authored some very interesting ASP.NET 2.0 script callback stuff that he points to on his blog, and he is obviously (at least, to me he is) involved quite heavily in the development of this new ATLAS infrastructure that they'll preview at PDC. Leroy's most recent post brings to the surface what I agree are the major differences between the "AJAX a - la .NET" approach as popularized by Michael Swartz with his AJAX.NET library, and Leroy's RefreshPanel, the ASP.NET 2.0 b...

IE7 - Vista: "Internet Explorer has stopped Working"

By
Image
This one was a bitch. All of a sudden for no reason at all, out of the blue, I get this dialog "internet Explorer has stopped working". I didn't install any new software, crap- I didn't do anything! So here I am using FIREFART to go on the internet and find out what to do! Damn! Good thing I've got the sucker on the same machine (I'm not "anti-Firefox", i just don't use it that much except to check my page renderings). The Fix The fix (at least for me): 1) Go into Control Panel, and choose "Internet Options". 2) Under the "Advanced" tab, press the "RESET" button at the lower right: Don't ask me why this happens, or why the fix works. That's a BUG, D00D - I don't care how you slice it!

FIREFOX / IE Word-Wrap, Word-Break, TABLES FIX

By
One of the most annoying things a developer (who would normally delight in writing code, not futzing with markup) can have is getting rendering issues between different browsers. The two biggest players are of course Internet Exploder and Firefart (as I lovingly like to refer to each). In most cases that's going to take care of 98 percent of your total site traffic. IE has had a proprietary "word-break" style attribute for a long time, and this made it into the CSS 3.0 spec. But that doesn't necessarily help you with Firefox right now. Firefox literally - (and I consider this completely idiotic, since it's been in their bug database for FIVE YEARS) does not have a reliable CSS style element to force table cell content to break in the middle of a word in order to stop the content from expanding your table / div off the page or over other content on the page. Here's a partial fix, which will work for most tables and browsers. The style declaration (I call it m...

System.Web.Caching.Cache, HttpRuntime.Cache, and IIS Recycles

By
Recently I chimed in on a newsgroup thread to an OP (Original Poster) who was questioning why he was losing Cache items. This individual would load a dataset from the Cache object into a local object to use to perform processing. He had been using httpcontext.current.cache and noticed that sometimes he was not able to get the dataset out of the cache. He tried switching to HttpRuntime.Cache and it seemed to help. The OP claimed that the application is under heavy hits, and once or twice every month he would see this error. He wanted to know why does the HttpContext.Current.Cache call work sometimes, while some other times does not. A couple of posters replied, one of whom is a respected MVP who usually makes very astute, high-quality posts. He posted," The cache is only valid during the life of the request. how is you[sic] code using the cache?" Somebody else (also pretty astute, usually) responded, "Cache is valid during lifetime of application not request.....". W...

FIX: Requested Registry Access is not allowed (Visual Studio 2008)

By
Symptom: in Visual Studio 2008, you attempt to add a new WebContentForm and associate it with a MasterPage. You receive an error dialog "Requested Reqistry Access is not allowed". Don't ask me what caused this; I'm guessing that the registry keys involved had their access denied due to removal of a previous version of Visual Studio, leaving the new guy (Visual Studio 2008) in the lurch. Here's the fix: Download "subinacl" here . This is a command-line tool that enables administrators to obtain security information about files, registry keys, and services, and transfer this information from user to user, from local or global group to group, and from domain to domain. After installing subinacl.exe (it will be in the C:\Program Files\Windows Resource Kits\Tools folder.), drop to a command prompt and run the following batch file, which you have saved in the same folder with the filename "FIX.bat": subinacl /subkeyreg HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VisualStudi...
