What Is an ASP File? Files created with Active Server Pages have the extension .ASP. This story is an example; take a look at the address above. With ASP files, you can activate your Web site using any combination of HTML, scripting such as JavaScript or Visual Basic?

Is It Hard to Use? I don't know about you, but whenever people start talking about doing things on the server, I start to get nervous. I think a lot about threading issues, synchronization, and generally stuff without a user interface. I assume it's going to be hard to do. Well, using ASP is about as easy as anything I've come across in years.

Aw, Mom. Not Another Object Model! I really hate doing this to you, but I'm going to have to use that overused and overcomplex term "object model" again. Here's how it works. When a browser requests an ASP file from your Web server, your Web server calls Active Server Pages to read through the ASP file, executing any of the commands contained within and sending the resulting HTML page to the browser.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the US today. According to the American Heart Association, 71 million Americans are suffering from some form of heart disease. Statistics show that there is a death every 20 second that can be directly attributed to complications from heart disease. Heart disease has many causations, one of the major causes of heart disease has been linked to poor diet. Many Americans tend to be eating foods that are high in cholesterol, and fatty. Ultimately this form of unhealthy eating, combined with poor exercise habits, leads to an unhealthy body weight, and increases in cholesterol levels. (Levels above 200 are considered to put one at risk of heart disease.)

High cholesterol levels promote buildup of plaque and fatty deposits in the heart's arterial system. This arteriole build up can lead not only to high blood pressure that can lead to stroke, but to serious forms of heart disease, and ultimately death due to heart attack. High cholesterol is one of the risk factors of heart disease that can be controlled by diet, and if needed medication. As one might demise, it is very important to know your cholesterol level. A visit to the doctor is recommended, not only to have your cholesterol levels checked, but if necessary your doctor can provide you with just the right diet information, and medication is needed.
