Health Supplements you should be taking

Hello once again! Here is a list of supplements you should likely be taking. Note that this is not medical advice, and some supplements are tolerated better by some people than others due to health / genetic factors. Generally, taking excessive amounts of supplements do not increase benefits, so stick to reasonable dosages. There is some variation between male and female in terms of requirements, I'm more familiar with male physiology and supplementing. There are some supplements I will mention that are not OTC, or are special prescription, which I may or may not take myself, and are not freely available. These supplement types are generally more expensive and less accessible, but I will discuss them also. Ideally you would start supplementing in your mid to late 20's. Most people only discover vitamins/supplements later in life when they begin to feel run-down, and by that point a lot of 'damage' has already been done to your body, which is accelerated with life...

Using Windows command prompt to put a machine to sleep

 

 

 

 

I ran into a problem where a machine was no longer responding to the sleep selection in the GUI on Windows 7 Ultimate.

 

An alternative way to sleep the machine is to utilize the command-line (create a shortcut to a .cmd script that contains the instruction) as follows:

 

Open an Administration Command Prompt. Hit the “WINDOWS” key once and start typing “CMD”. Right click on the “Command Prompt” item that is displayed and select “Run as Administrator”.

 

Ensure the machine doesn't hibernate as we're trying to sleep it:

 

POWERCFG /HIBERNATE OFF

 

(The above may fail depending on policy if on domain etc.)

 

RUNDLL32.EXE powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0

 

 

With some machines, you may have to briefly press a power button once to wake the machine back up. It should return in a locked state, requiring login/password.
