For years fitness “experts” have been preaching the merits of endless crunches and sit ups in pursuit of great abs. Combine that with the latest low fat diet and the tedious, slow boring cardio and – voila! Instant 6-Pack Abs. Over time, however, evidence is showing that this just simply isn’t the most effective way to shed belly fat.  Unfortunately, the notion of crunches and sit ups has been in-grained into our brains as being the “tried and true” way. So when I get regularly asked how to lose fat and get six-pack-abs, my answer more often than not, tends to be met with a look of confusion… 1. Perform full-body exercises. 2. Train your abs the way they were meant to be trained (by forcing them to stabilize your torso, not move it or rotate it). 3. Use some form of interval training instead of long boring cardio. And the most important rule of all… 4. Eat real, clean food focusing on fruits &...

On a recent episode of the Oprah show, one of the guests was a 51 year old man with the heart of a 20 year old. He's been following a calorie restriction plan and they said he might be one of the first people to reach 120 years old by following this plan. There have been stories both in the lay press and scientific press about calorie restriction for years and it has been a frequent talk show topic on other many other TV shows. However, before you cut your calories in half in hopes of adding another decade onto your life, you'd better get the other half of the story they didn't talk about on Oprah. I've seen a lot of strange things in the health field, and although calorie restriction (CR) is the subject of serious and legitimate scientific study, I consider CR to be one of those strange things. Of course, that's because I choose a different lifestyle – the muscle-friendly Burn The fat, Feed The Muscle lifestyle – but there's more than one reason why I'm ...

Aquaponic gardens can give you lots of fresh vegetables and tasty fish, they are great for any type of home as well as for any age and occupation you may have.  However, they will not take care of themselves! It is true that they require very little care, but it is essential that you give them those few minutes a day each and every day in order to obtain very good results and keep the farm producing for a long period of time.

A frequent question I am asked is when some of the more popular Photoshop plug-ins will be available to run in Photoshop CS4 when using the 64-bit mode. If you are using Windows Vista you can install both 32- and 64-bit versions of CS4 together. Existing plug-ins run fine in the 32-bit version of CS4; however to run in the 64-bit one they will require updating. 64-bit support for Portraiture 2, the newest version of Imagenomic's skin retouching plug-in, is expected to be released January 2, 2009.

The World of Warcraft economy has long been reliant on three things – players going out and farming for materials, players wasting huge sums of gold on things that can never be resold or reused, and players using the Auction house to trade, buy, and sell items with each other.

A sinus infection is an inflammation of the sinuses. Sinuses are cavities that are present near the nose. They perform the function of evacuating mucus and dry air from the body. An inflammation of sinuses creates blockages in them and, thus, mucus and dry air get trapped in the sinuses. This gives rise to a severe pain and discomfort. This condition causes the condition called sinusitis. But what is chronic sinusitis? And what is the treatment of chronic sinus infection? Sinusitis can be branched into three branches, namely – acute sinusitis, chronic sinusitis and recurring sinusitis.
