Not by Fire, but by Ice by Robert Felix
A book that I urge everyone to read. The Author is an architect who has laboriously read through enough scientific papers so that the reference section is TWENTY EIGHT pages long. He puts it all together in a way that makes a lot of sense and in also in ways that anyone can understand it. See www.iceagenow.com and “Global Warming: The cause is oceans warming, not greenhouse gases“ by Gary Novak. here…

Don't AGE Yourself With Your Cooking By Kelley Herring
The way you cook may be just as important to your health as the food itself.
“Advanced glycation end products” (AGE) is a class of toxins that have been linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, diabetes, vascular and kidney disease, and Alzheimer’s. And they are absorbed into your body when you eat animal products cooked or processed at high temperatures. (Think grilling, frying, smoking, or broiling, as well as pasteurizing.)
A recent study published in the Journal of Gerontology: Medical Sciences evaluated 172 healthy men and women in two age groups – a younger group (between the ages of 18 and 45) and an older group (between the ages of 60 and 80). The researchers wanted to determine how age and diet influences the accumulation of AGE in the body.
While researchers found that AGE levels were 35 percent higher in the older group, they could be very high in young, healthy people, as well. In fact, AGE levels in some of the younger, healthy adults in this study were as high as those seen in diabetic patients.
The higher the consumption of foods rich in AGE, the higher the blood levels of AGE and CRP and other markers of inflammation… in all the study participants.
So how can you cook to AGE less? It’s pretty simple. Just keep the heat down and maintain the water content in your food. That means enjoying more raw, fresh foods. And when you do turn on the heat, choose to boil, slow-roast, steam, or stew. Also, because pasteurizing promotes AGE, opt for raw milk, cheeses, and juices.

Tip Altiris SVS – a wonder! By: Laurent Duchastel
I just stumbled yesterday into a very interesting FREE application. It’s called SVS and it’s from Altiris (recently acquired by Symantec). It qualifies easily as a “LITTLE GEM” to me and I adopted it at once.
SVS stands for “Software Virtualization Solution”. Basically, it allows you to install and run most top-level applications into a virtual sandbox on top of your actual operating system. A very small driver (less than 1Meg RAM) filters all I/O to files and registry keys from specified applications and redirects them to the sandbox. It allows you to install and run almost any application, or *different versions* of the same application (ex: Excel 2000, 2003 and 2007 in different languages), allows it to interact with other applications, but when you don’t need that application anymore, a click of the mouse and the application is “deactivated”, which means not a single trace left in your OS registry and file system!
The application is FREE FOR PERSONAL USE. The commercial application has a server-side that allows share and control of pre-packaged layers (*.VSA). For large companies, that means no need to install applications anymore!
Now the links.
