Many people who become interested in building their own system, whether after years of computer use or soon after starting out with computers become interested in this subject that is often discussed in technical forums. Often this means the question of what overclocking is comes up, as well as questions about potential risks and dangers involved in the practice of overclocking. This post is intended to be a basic answer to those questions. It's not the aim of this post to be all inclusive, so please feel free to ask further questions if you have any.
What is overclocking?
When processors are designed, one of the things that hardware engineers have to do is select and set a clock frequency, measured in megahertz, or millions of clock ticks per second. These clock ticks are produced by a tiny device located in the computer called the system crystal. The way it works is, voltage is applied to the crystal, and the crystal vibrates. It will vibrate at different frequencies if different voltages are applied to it. It's the same idea as a digital quartz watch, only quite a bit faster.
This clock frequency is based on another part of the design process, which is developing the actual instructions that the processor will execute and the circuit that they flow through. Computer instructions are carried out in the processor in several stages: reading the instruction, interpreting the instruction, performing the calculations, and storing the output. Each instruction takes a certain amount of time to complete its path through the processor and end up as good, stable data on the other side. This amount of time is the base number used in setting the amount of time for each tick of the system clock.
In order to be absolutely certain that the computer is using good, stable data hardware engineers add a little bit of time on to the base number. For example, if our design tells us that we will have good data in 0.6 nanoseconds (ns), in order to be absolutely sure that we have good data, we add in a little bit of extra time to make up for the fact that the materials and electricity we have to work with isn't perfect. We decide that the clock should tick only every 0.8 ns instead of every 0.6 ns. To figure out how many times that clock will tick in a second, remember that 1 Hz is 1 tick/1 second. We take 1/0.8 ns and get 1,250,000,000 Hertz, or 1.25 GHz. This processor is then set with a clock speed of 1.25 GHz (1250 MHz).
When we overclock a processor, what we're really doing is making our system crystal vibrate faster, so that we can reduce the padding time between when the results coming out of the processor are good and stable, and when we start our next instruction. We do this by increasing the voltage that's applied to the processor. Today, that's most commonly done through a BIOS setting.
What risks exist with overclocking?
The most significant problem that people encounter when trying to overclock their processors is that they adjust the voltage (through the BIOS setting or on the motherboard) too much and cause overheating. Computer processors are electrical circuits made up of silicon transistors. All electrical circuits generate heat as voltage is applied to them and current flows through them. The more voltage that is applied to a processor, the more current there will be flowing through it. Since the amount of heat that comes out of a circuit depends on the amount of current through it, higher current will mean more heat and higher temperatures. Users who overclock their processors often find that they need to use larger heatsinks, fans that move more air, or heatsinks made of copper rather than aluminum, since copper conducts heat away from the processor better. Some users even choose to use liquid cooling systems in order to make sure that their processors don't heat up too much, because too much heat can cause physical damage to the processor as well as causing the system to crash and shut down. The documentation for most processors will state the safe operating temperature range, and using the temperature sensors in the BIOS as well as those that are available for Windows can help to ensure that the processor is not overheating. Check your documentation for the safe temperatures for your processor before you decide to overclock.
Although overheating is not the only problem associated with overclocking, it is likely that your processor would overheat before you were able to adjust the voltage enough to cause the system clock to tick too fast to get good, stable data out of the processor. Such a thing can cause system instability, odd values and results appearing in applications, and crashes also, but if these things are occurring it would be beneficial to check the processor's temperature before assuming that it's too short a clock cycle that's causing the problem. Overheating is a serious condition that should be taken care of immediately so that no physical damage to the processor chip results.
If you do decide that you want to overclock your processor, consider the risks as well as the advantages and be sure to do your homework. It could mean the difference between a system that gets better performance, and a destroyed processor. Remember that overclocking will not give you extreme performance enhancement like doubling the speed of your processor; it will only give a small boost and only if it's done correctly. Check out the specifics for your processor when overclocking. Make sure that you do your homework on which settings (either in the BIOS or on the motherboard) to change, and how much it is safe to change them.
If you're uncomfortable with the BIOS, or in any way unclear on how to safely overclock your processor, my recommendation is not to attempt it. Study more, learn more, and when you're really clear on how to do so safely, if you still want to overclock, that's when to try it.

After opening the practice with stretching and allowing some time for each position to work on drills in their groups, the Mountaineers lined up for some 11-on-11.
Much like Monday's practice, it was junior quarterback Clint Trickett who trotted out for the first drive with the first team offense. And although both Paul Millard and Ford Childress got to play for a drive, Trickett's was the only quarterback to run with the first team, and he was the only one to play two drives.
On his first drive, Trickett was joined in the backfield by junior running backs Charles Sims and Dreamius Smith with K.J. Myers and Ronald Carswell at the outside receiver positions and Mario Alford in the slot. The offensive line with the first team remained the same from left to right: Quinton Spain, Marquis Lucas, Tyler Orlosky, Mark Glowinski and Curtis Feigt
West Virginia moved the ball well on both of Trickett's drives – the best of any of the three quarterbacks.
Trickett's drives saw a variety of pass and run, and even included Mario Alford taking the touch pass perfected by Tavon Austin over the last few seasons.
The offensive line paved the way for plenty of room for Sims and Smith to run, but there were a handful of plays when the defense was able to get into the backfield and get stops.
When Millard took the field with the second team, WVU stalled and was not able to get much going. Dustin Garrison took the majority of the snaps at running back with the second team.
But it was the second drive with the first team that the Mountaineers started shuffling players around a bit more. Freshman Wendell Smallwood was the lone back for Trickett's second drive and, due to Dana Holgorsen's displeasure with the progress of his inside receivers, Daikel Shorts made an appearance in the slot. Shorts went on to make a few catches - including an impressive grab along the sidelines on Karl Joseph.
Defensively, West Virginia kept moving players around much like Keith Patterson has said he would like to. The linebacker rotation of Isaiah Bruce, Doug Rigg, Jared Barber, Wes Tonkery, Brandon Golson, and Sean Walters spent time rotating around at each position with a number of them playing both inside and outside spots.
Childress took the final drive, completing a few passes to Devonte Mathis. His first attempt during the session came on a play-action pass in which the redshirt freshman was able to roll to his right and avoid pressure before finding Mathis across the middle.
The drive ended with an incomplete pass from Childress to Ivan McCartney on an unsuccessful fade route.
Sophomore Garrett Hope earned some time at fullback after making the switch to the offensive side of the ball. Hope was in the backfield during the final drive and caught a pass and blocked well for junior running back Andrew Buie.
Junior wide receiver Kevin White was once again in a green medical jersey with a shoulder injury and did not participate in the team session, as did linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski who worked with the first-team defense Monday.

6 Timesaving Automation Tools for Ecommerce Merchants
Lack of time is common among business owners. Between sales, marketing, customer service, accounting, and everything else, it's no surprise that many entrepreneurs feel overwhelmed.
The good news is there is a way to lighten the load. By automating the routine and repetitive tasks in your company, you will be able to focus less on mundane activities and devote more time to other essential tasks such as building relationships with customers or finding ways to grow your business.
Use the six tools below to put certain tasks on autopilot so you can free up more time in your busy schedule.
IFTTT — If This Then That
IFTTT lets you link different web tools and services by means of "recipes." All recipes follow the format "if this then that" wherein "this" is a trigger and "that" is an action. IFTTT recipes allow you to automate several activities, such as posting to Facebook or sending text messages by assigning channels to the trigger and action parts of the recipe.
Say you want to automatically update your Twitter photo whenever you change your Facebook profile picture. All you need to do is create a recipe wherein a Facebook photo change is the trigger (this) and updating your Twitter image is the action (that).
Or, say, you want to automatically receive a text message every time a particular stock price rises above a specified level. For this task, you can assign stocks as the trigger and SMS as the action.
IFTTT currently supports 71 channels, including Dropbox, Facebook, Instagram, SMS, and more.
It may look a bit confusing on paper, but the service makes it really easy for users to create recipes. Try it and start automating the repetitive digital tasks in your business.
Boomerang for Gmail
Boomerang is a Firefox and Chrome plugin that enables you to schedule emails in Gmail. Simply type your message in Gmail, specify the date when you want to send it, and you're good to go. It even lets you create reminders if you don't hear back from the recipient.
Boomerang is a convenient tool that can be used to automatically schedule follow-up emails or reminders and ensure that you won't miss the chance to re-connect with your leads or clients.
And if you want a cleaner inbox but don't want to lose track of an important message, you can "Boomerang" it by opening the message and specifying when you would like to see it again. The plugin will then archive the message, and at the time that you chose, will put it back in your inbox and star it, mark it as unread, or place it at the top of your message list.
This clever tool enables you to schedule social media posts throughout the day. No need to manually set dates and times; Buffer lets you schedule your updates with fixed time slots, allowing you to line up your posts with just a few clicks.
What's especially helpful about Buffer is that it can be integrated with several other apps and extensions, so you can add posts to your Buffer account from just about anywhere on the web. Want to share an article that you're currently reading? With the Buffer browser plug-in, you can schedule it right from the web page itself.
You can also connect the tool to various RSS readers, such as Feedly, Pocket, and more so you can share posts straight from your reader.
This is a handy tool for Mac OS X that lets you assign keyboard shortcuts to your most frequently used phrases, sentences, and even paragraphs. If you find yourself typing the same things repeatedly — dates, boilerplates, instructions — then simply add them to your snippet collection and assign keystrokes to them.
TextExpander helps you type faster, avoid your most common typos, and even fill out forms more quickly.
While building meaningful relationships cannot and should not be automated, Rapportive does make it a bit easier. Another browser add-on for Gmail users, Rapportive displays public social media information about your contacts inside your account.
Ever wanted to personalize your emails even more? Rapportive displays your contact's photo, location, recent tweets, and social media profiles as you type your message, allowing you to find content, shared interests, and posts that you can reference to.
Are you drowning in receipts and other paper documents? Are you dreading having to sift through all of them when tax season rolls along? Let Shoeboxed offer up some assistance. This service provides an easy way to digitize, categorize, and archive your receipts, business cards, and other documents. It streamlines accounting and bookkeeping tasks and helps users find deductions, expenses, and other pertinent information.
Submit your receipts and other docs to Shoeboxed and the service will extract significant information — vendor, total, date, payment type — from the documents, verify them with human eyes, and then organize the data into your fully searchable account.

If you want to make print catalogs from your e-commerce site, another automation tool is Catalog-on-Demand. They also offer a free service to automate production of a PDF-per-product for any e-commerce site.
Thanks Tim, great feedback.
Just discovered a new Gmail chrome extension, Email Toolbox, which does everything Boomerang does plus more and is free. Also I find it cleaner.
Thanks Alex, that is great. I will also try it out, as Boomerang now only allows you to schedule 10 sends for free a month. Appreciate your feedback very much!
Jerry this is an amazing article. Is hard sometimes to keep up with all tools out there!
I'm definitely trying out Buffer. But I guess I'm not the only one (seeing now someone else commented on this). I've tried mxHero a couple of weeks ago and so far it's been my Monday's time saver. All my inbox is amazingly organised. I've tried Boomerang in the past but their interface has not been working very well lately I'm afraid.
Thank you Matt for reading.
I hope you've enjoyed using Buffer so far! Please let us know if you have other feedback!
For our Magento site we dropship with several vendors. With our order volume we have trouble keeping up with fulfilling orders with each of the vendors.
Our most helpful automation tip is using Spark Shipping http://sparkshipping.com to automate sending of all these emails. As soon as an order comes in this service automatically send it to the correct vendor for fulfillment.
Hope this helps!
THanks for sharing Nathan. Spark Shipping sounds like a good tool. Another order management tool that I have heard of that is pretty good is called "Lettuce App". Feel free to check them out too.
Jerry this is a brilliant article. Buffer is something that I am exploring and I am planning to explore IFTTT.
For workflow automation you can check out https://kissflow.com/ – I find the interface much easy to use
You missed Glew! ;)

Ha ha - that's a good one. It's quite true at some level but I have
to tell you - things are getting a ton better. As we get more and
more into running our own software as a service - a lot of that
nonsense is going away. I've seen some of the biggest "OH, SHINY!"
guys get converted into very pragmatic people after trying to stand up
a service using their software. (there's another Microsoft phrase for
you - "Stand up" a service)
Again, it will take us a couple of cycles but we the right people
experiencing the right pain for the right things to happen going
forward. It is not a coincidence that the folks that are doing this
are some of the biggest fans of PowerShell (duh!). We've been working
closely with some teams standing up services and they have been
driving much of our V2 work. A lot of V2 is catch up work to have the
things you Unix guys take for granted but there is also quite a bit of
new stuff that I think you might find interesting (maybe not).
V3 will probably focus on catching up with VMS and AS400 :-)
I couldn't resist the tease - Unix is great and you should be proud of
your communities accomplishments but the fact of the matter is that
those technologies are great as well. Those superstar engineers
deserve credit and admiration for their great achievements as well.
Credit and respect are not a zero sum games. Respecting other
communities does not take away from your ability to boast about your
accomplishments. Publicly acknowledging the contributions of other
technical communities honors our grand adventure of moving the ball
forward and creating the technologies which are changing the world.
A while ago I heard something about the IBM guys saying how well
positioned they were to take advantage of the move to virtualized
environments saying, "whenever a tough problem comes up, we're able to
walk down the hall and describe the problem to our guys and ask, 'how
did you solve this 30 years ago?'"

This list is to honor 10 fighters who have given either spectacular performances or extremely compelling ones.
The year is still young, but we've seen dazzling displays of mastery from the likely suspects, and we've seen some fighters we didn't expect to win reach down into the pit of their souls and find the heart and courage to defy the odds. Erik Morales, pictured above, did not make this list because in the end, he didn't win the fight. But his effort, refusing to back down with a horrible eye injury and trailing badly on the cards, was amongst the year's most memorable, and once again, carried out the old axiom that every great fighter has one last great fight.
He stood toe-to-toe with one of the hardest punchers in a weight class well above where he fought in his prime, and with supreme skills and a champion's heart, was winning a substantial stretch of that fight. But the fact that he coasted through the first four rounds and was beaten in the last two meant he needed to sweep Rounds 5 through 10 just to earn a draw, and in a hotly contested, very close fight, that was too much magic for even the old wizard from Tijuana to conjure up. But the effort deserves a mention, and I am convinced Morales-Maidana will be one of the most memorable fights of the year.

Lace up your running shoes for the fourth annual Avondale 5K Run + Walk for Special Kids happening Saturday, Oct. 12 benefitting The Charles Webb Center. The Avondale 5K is the sixth largest 5K in Charleston! Last year's race brought in 450 participants and nearly $50,000 for the CWC. With the community's help, the goal is to top that this year. Carolyn Murray, WCBD News 2 anchor and former Avondale resident, will be on-hand to kick off this year's race which begins at 8:30 a.m. Murray not only is an avid runner, she also is a huge supporter of the local community.
Starting on Magnolia Road in front of Triangle Char and Bar, Avondale 5K runners and walkers will make their way through the lovely streets of the Avondale neighborhood in West Ashley. Strollers and dogs are welcome. The After Race Party starts as soon as participants cross the finish line. Triangle Char and Bar is hosting the party complete with live music, all inclusive food and drinks. Awards and prizes will be given at the After Party.
Hosted by the Avondale Business Association and Triangle Char and Bar, all proceeds from the Avondale 5K benefit The Charles Webb Center. The Charles Webb Center is a non-profit, day care center that serves children from age 6 weeks to 10 years old who have developmental disabilities and special needs. The center is under the umbrella of the Disabilities Board of Charleston County and is located at 1611 Evergreen Street, behind Bessinger's BBQ on Savannah Highway.
In an aggressive effort to raise awareness about the children of the Charles Webb Center, runners and walkers have the option to "Sponsor a Child." This allows participants to choose a specific child to run/walk for. They can create teams and get sponsors. For the team with the highest amount of funds raised in the name of a child, Triangle will throw them a private party for 25 with drinks and food! Last year's winning team, "Anna Blake" brought in nearly $6,000.
The top winners in all categories will take home a unique recycled glass trophy donated by the Avondale Business Association. All attendees and participants are asked to recycle wherever possible using provided bins. If you do drive, please park in designated parking spaces and not on the race course. The Avondale 5K's presenting sponsor is Bi-Lo, with many other generous local businesses also sponsoring the race. Please visit www.avondale5k.com for a complete list of this year's sponsors or to find out how you can be one.
There is a $30 fee for race registration which includes T-shirt, race and entry to After Race Party. It increases to $35 for day-of registration; non-race participants can attend the party for $20.

40 hikers rescued; were lost on Ky. mountain
WHITESBURG, Ky. -- More than three dozen Pennsylvania college students spending spring break in Kentucky on a mission trip were safe Friday after becoming lost for hours when a sightseeing mountain hike unexpectedly stretched into the night, officials said Friday.
Rescuers were able to find them -- hungry and cold -- after an hourslong effort in rough terrain and freezing temperatures.
Most of the hikers were seen in the emergency room at Appalachian Regional Hospital in Whitesburg, with one woman admitted and listed in good condition, spokeswoman Dena Sparkman said Friday.
The few who declined to be seen at the hospital "were like, 'feed me and we're good,'" Sparkman said.
The group was made up of 37 students and three staff members from La Salle University on a mission trip building houses in Harlan.

|-> Chapter 2 -> Biodiversity -> Global overview
Invasive species
Invasive species are organisms (usually transported by humans) that successfully colonize native ecosystems. Such species have been a major threat to native species through the effects of predation, alteration of habitat or disruption of ecosystem processes. Notable terrestrial examples include the loss of many endemic land snail species of French Polynesia following the introduction of the predatory snail Euglandina rosea, and the decline in New Zealand's native birds due to the introduction of Australian brushtail possum. Aquatic examples include the introduction of the predatory Nile perch Lates niloticus to Lake Victoria around 30 years ago, which contributed to the apparent extinction of 250 endemic species of cichlid fishes (Harrison and Stiassny 1999). The number of aquatic introductions rose rapidly during the second half of the 20th century (see graph).
The CBD recognizes the importance of invasive species as a global problem and calls upon contracting parties to prevent the introduction of, control or eradicate those alien species that threaten ecosystems, habitats and species. In response to a recommendation from the CBD in 1996, the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP) was developed, which is coordinated by the Scientific Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE), in collaboration with IUCN, Centre for Agriculture and Biosciences International and UNEP. The programme will review current knowledge on invasive species and develop new tools and approaches to deal with the problem both locally and globally.

Scientific Name: Acrantophis dumerili
Fast Fact:
Dumeril's boas can be confused with their cousins, Acrantophis madagascariensis, or the Madagascar ground boa, made even more confusing by the fact that both species are native to Madagascar. They are similar in size and coloring.
Like other boas, Dumeril's are non-poisonous, but instead capture their prey by asphyxiating it. Contrary to popular belief, constrictors don't squeeze their prey or break its bones, but rather keep the prey's lungs from expanding until they can't breathe at all.
STATUS: It has been difficult for scientists to ascertain the number of Dumeril's in the wild. Like many animals that have a very small range, any amount of habitat loss could be exponentially detrimental to their population numbers. For this reason, the IUCN lists them as Vulnerable. On the other hand, they have fared well in captivity and the pet trade, so if something were to happen to their native Madagascar home, zoos around the world could make strides toward replenishing their numbers.
HABITAT: Dumeril's ground boas are native to the southwest part of the island of Madagascar (closest to the eastern coast of the African continent). Their home is made up of arid woodlands and dry forests, meaning those areas don't get a lot of rainfall or humidity, and these snakes like it that way. Because Madagascar is below the Equator, their coldest months are May through August, and Dumeril's ground boas hibernate during this time. Their favorite homes are under fallen logs, piles of leaves, or in burrows dug and then abandoned by other animals.
DIET: When not hibernating, the Dumeril's ground boa prefers to hunt after dark. They use their keen senses to find and sneak up on prey such as small birds, rodents, amphibians (like frogs and salamanders), and lizards. They do not climb trees, but instead hunt on the forest floor.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: This type of boa can grow to be up to eight feet in length, but most individuals are around five or six feet long when full grown. The main part of their body is dark, either grey or brown, with patches or spots which are usually a darker color. These patches help them blend in with the leaves they slither through on the forest floor. Like other nocturnal animals, their pupils are vertical (up and down) to help them see better in the dark.
It's All in the Name
The Dumeril's ground boa is named after the French zoologist and herpetologist Auguste Dumeril, who lived from 1812 to 1870. In addition to his most famous work, Catalogue methodique de la collection des Reptiles, which he wrote with his father, Dumeril also studied in Mexico and was once of the first scientists to seriously study the axolotl, another L.A. Zoo resident.

If you went bananas over Love.Angel. Music.Baby., the 2004 hit that established Gwen Stefani as much more than just the girl from No Doubt, then you'll lap up the candy-coated pop of The Sweet Escape. Although not as hella-good as its predecessor—it mostly sounds more familiar than fresh this time around, and there's nothing here that should prove as inescapable as "Hollaback Girl"—it cements Stefani's status as a solo superstar from Hollywood to Harajuku.
Several songs hark back to "Hollaback Girl," with mixed results: The delicious "Yummy," with its tribal drums and spacey sound effects, finds Stefani in her B-girl glory, while first single "Wind It Up" is a misguided mishmash of marching-band beats, yodeling and samples from The Sound of Music. When Stefani winds down, though, she does so nicely: The melancholy "Early Winter," cowritten by Keane's Tim Rice-Oxley, is a sweet escape from the dance floor.

Coach: Joe Wiles (boys), Joy King (girls)
2013: Boys eighth NCC, girls 10th NCC.
Returning letterwinners: Seniors Alec Baldosser; Graham Lewis; Stone Wurm. Juniors Karsen Kaple; Lane Sautter. Sophomores Carter Bishop; Brice Brenneman; Lizbeth Figueroa; Laura Metzger.
Others: Jacob Burton; Wyatt Kisor; Reid Martin; Ross Martin; Tim Showman; Wyatt Delarber; Avery Garberick; Derek Kalb; Trevor Reed; Mark Robertson; Owen Ackerman; Trenton Langjahr; Conner Lewis; Tyler Trapp; Wesley Stewart; Emma Breyley; Sydni Brown; Sydney Moore, and Lydia Shealy
Outlook: The Bucks have 32 athletes (23 boys and nine girls) between the teams, so depth is an issue. Winning dual meets will be difficult; however, according to Wiles, "We have a small team and we know it. Our team record is important, but it is more important that with the limited numbers we have, we get our strong individuals to perform well."
The girls have seven returning letterwinners led by senior distance runner Amy Rietschlin.
The strength of the boys team comes in the distance and long jump with veteran distance runners Stone Wurm, Graham Lewis, Alec Baldosser, and jumper Bryce Brenneman. Also back is junior Lane Sautter, taking the throwing for the Bucks.
Returning letterwinners also include Carter Bishop, Karsen Kaple, and Warren Wechter.
Wiles said the sprinters, for the most part, are a new group headed by Graham Lewis and Alec Baldosser.
"Lewis is a great role model and example to our younger class. His work ethic is undeniable," Wiles said. "Baldosser is another leader on our team that really sets the pace at practice each day. Our group looks up to these guys and we are coming together as a team."
After finishing eighth at conference championships last year, Wiles believes the focus has shifted from how the team finishes; to getting his athletes to regionals.
"As a team, we can get it done, but our numbers may affect our meet scores," Wiles said. "But, the athletes we do have are more than capable of achieving big things this season."
"The focus and the goal is getting certain kids to regionals in events we know they can strive in. At the end of the season, all of our hard work will show us where we are and where we need to be."

Holy cow, has it really been five years since I started writing the blog? It has.
Please forgive me for self-indulgence, but on this anniversary, and by no means being guaranteed that I'll be around five years from now, I want to take just a moment to share some reflections and thank my readers. It seems appropriate and ironic, from an industry standpoint, to mark this date given that the traditional gift for such an anniversary is wood.
First of all, I love writing SciGuy. It's true, some days it's a grind. My philosophy on blogging has evolved over the last five years, but essentially, in addition to beat reporting on the weather, hurricanes and spaceflight, I try to bring lightly covered nuggets of information to light. I try to find stuff I haven't seen that might pique the curiosity of others who are interested in science. Some days it's a grind to find that stuff.
But most of the time it's a blast to share interesting things with interesting people. And that's what this blog is really all about.
When I got into this five years ago I had no idea what to expect. I certainly didn't anticipate writing more than 2,600 blog entries or publishing more than 76,000 comments in that time. I've been overwhelmed by the response of readers, and the level of discourse (well, except maybe on a black hole entry that received more than 700 comments, only about 500 of which were publishable).
After five years I can honestly say I'm not burned out. In fact, this blog continually nourishes my interest in journalism because of the great feedback from readers (including the first three people who ever commented) and participation of experts like N-G, Steve Clayworth, Carl Carruthers and others.
So if you promise to keep the comments coming, I'll do the same with the content.

"Awesome! The Hypnosis Live collection will bring you the opportunity for change you've been seeking. Recommended!" (Stephanie Mulac, StephanieMulac.com)
"As a psychotherapist and hypnotherapist, I highly recommend Hypnosis Live. It's superior in quality, content and thoughtfulness" (Kim Nagle, CreativeHypnosis.net)
"I'm noticing real, significant change after listening just a couple of times. The Hypnosis Live MP3s work, simple as that!" (Sasha Stephens, Effortless-Sleep.com)
"This is the best hynosis series that I have ever.."
The sound of the speaker's voice just take you away to a place that is easy to relax and enter a trance.
I love how detailed the speaker is about what I am doing as I enter my trance and what she says to help me eat less.
The woman speaker was my favorite by far.
Best hypnosis series I have ever heard. Extremely effective too.
I think you have to listen to it everyday, like they instruct...I love it and I use it to fall asleep with. I have noticed a difference in how I eat and my water intake is a lot better....it's weird because I'm skeptical. I like it but when she says Hello and Welcome, it kind of startled me, I think it's because I'm already starting to fall asleep. great content
"Exceptional voice, easy to follow, great story. Na"
Narrator was calming, easy to listen to and convincing. I enjoyed all of the steps and was able to follow sub conciously while my body was doing what she said would do. i felt like i was weightless
"Can't Say enough good things about these sessions"
these sessions are great. if your mind is closed or cannot be hypnotized then this is not for you. However if you are ready to allow these powerful suggestions through the form of hypnosis into your life the hold on and get ready for the wild ride of changing your life.
not that type of audio book
you are the character that is taken through each guided journey
again you yourself are the character playing out scenarios in your mind.
during the healthy eating hypnosis the moment she ask you to imagine being at the funeral and seeing all your loved ones and how sad they are because you never changed your eating habits. i caught myself literally crying at this moment. it made me realize this has to change in my life right now.
these can help you to change your life, it is not magic but it has to start in the mind and then you have to put into practice what you are trying to do. I still have not lost all the weight i want to but i have made a lifestyle change that i will never give up on.
I have listened to this bundle for four nights running and I can already see a difference in my attitude to food and exercise. I don't seem to have the same hang ups about what to eat and what not to eat and I walked my dogs twice yesterday just for the joy of it! I cant recommend this audio book highly enough.
I got SOOO tired on the radio...same thing over and over again. Then I found this app. It is now the only thing I listen to unless someone else is in the car too! On the days I take the kids with me to work I go bonkers because I'm missing my "me time" lol. Driving and listening to this is my only me time lol.
"Worked for me..."
This is a positive meditation collection that I have listened to each night for about 3 weeks so far and it really has had an impact on me. Virtual gastric band is great and I have stopped believing I am constantly hungry and have lost my relentless focus on food, especially evenings watching TV where I would always pick at something. Have lost 6lb in 2 weeks simply through eating less and feeling fuller quicker... as I said, it is working for me!
Relaxes me as I go to sleep, lose weight the easy way
Virtual gastric band
No not yet
'The' most relaxing way to lose weight
Really struggled, I wasn't impressed with the speaker nor the quality of the material. Sorry
"Good value."
This covers 4 chapters. Found it really good. Not had time to listen to it every day but will.
I tend to fall asleep very quickly. Instead of relaxing.
I have the gastric band one too.

Like typical closenado news and happenings, it comes in spurts. The White Sox, Giants, and the Angels all made changes this past week. All changes were needed, but only one team, the Giants, look like they will try something new and not return to the original status quo. Sergio Romo is a proven and decent closer, but he's overused, predictable, and doesn't throw very hard. The change to Santiago Casilla and the cast of Affeldt, Machi or any other Giants RP seems to be temporary. Casilla has done well in the past with 25 saves in 2012, and a shiny ERA that hasn't eclipsed 3+ since 2010. Consistency makes you reliable as a relief pitcher. I stole that from a German beer ad, or at least I think I did…it was in German and me no sprechen di lingie. So to continue the look down the road, take a look at the SF bullpen picture for next year and you'll notice that Romo is a free agent. So the point is: either Santiago Casilla is the answer there for a one-year stop gap, or should they look to, what is IMO, the best relief pitching group of prospects in baseball. They have three guys who look to be ready (dynasty leaguers go get a pen!): Stephen Okert, Heath Hembree, and my favorite, Ray Black (public advisory over drop pens). So sit on Casilla if you grabbed him. It could be a long ride, but big head Bochy, and the monsters of the SF bullpen have a proven closer that will, for all intents and purposes, be back…maybe. It's more fun to leave it suspenseful, like Murder She Wrote.Please, blog, may I have some more?

It's just sad when you watch what should be a fluid situation turn out to be a fiery car wreck. That's what the bullpen situation with the Angels is like. Just awful to think about, watch and….yikes, to even be immersed in their roster purgatory is just dreadful. Their bullpen is like the Swamp of Sadness in The NeverEnding Story. Atreyu (Mike Scoiscia) leads his horse, Artax (Ernesto Frieri) there, and the horse gets swallowed up with despair (your roster). The only bad thing is that Fred Savage isn't in the Angels pen. Instead, we are stuck with Joe Smith, Ernesto Frieri and the schloo of underachieving or unproven arms that they have to offer. I for one would like them to just settle on a guy, who cares if he fails 5 out of 10 times. I was just informed that this is exactly what has happened already. In all seriousness, roster Joe Smith, bench Ernesto. Monitor everyone else, but don't hold out hope that a luck dragon is going to come swoop in and save the situation, or your team if you got pot committed to the situation there. Stick around for some random tidbits of mental masturbation…Please, blog, may I have some more?
I know bad raps can make a career… I mean Shaq made his secondary career off of them, but Joel Peralta is really getting one. Everyone loves change, and the whole shiny new toy factor associated with bullpens, but I'm here to learn you something about guys that have been drafted, dropped, and then added and dropped twice over this year. The Tampa Bay bullpen, and starters for that matter, are just bad this year. But, in the last 30 days, Peralta has lowered his ERA by 3-and-half runs. That's not exactly easy, especially on a team 15-plus games below .500. Also, he has more K's, same ERA, and more Holds than the now more-coveted Jake McGee during the last 30 days. Better pitcher all year, McGee, better lately? Peralta (but he burned us, so we give him the finger). Just me giving my two cents. I mean fluctuation, and "oooh that guy looks good in macrame shorts" are a blinding factor for rostering fringe bullpen guys. Stick around for some cool bullet points shaped like baseballs… neat.Please, blog, may I have some more?
The job in Tampa isn't as pretty as it used to be, as the team is super underachieving, and not in a superhero-footed pajamas kinda way. Joe Maddon looks like he needs an executive parachute, even though he is a hoot to listen to during an interview. I think he is waiting for someone to jump and run with the job. Jake McGee, Joel Peralta or even the artist formally known as Leo Nunez may be the most obvious and experienced options, but I have another one for ya: Kirby Yates. I didn't make that up. He reminds me of what Jim Henderson did two years ago with the Brewers. Career journeyman, decent, but nothing stands out about his minor league numbers… then boom. K -ates in the minors are above 12 for the last 3 seasons, and he has over 50 saves during that same time. Tampa is the place to rehab relievers, and Korean War shrapnel wounds, so crazier things have happened. Kyle Farnsworth, Fernando Rodney, Troy Percival, Danys Baez, Lance Carter, Al Reyes…. you get the point. The rule with closers is: It's better to be first then not at all. So if time and space are in alignment and Rod Serling is already taken, pounce. Stick around, it's a good week to speculate on saves and save-nots.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Everyone knows about the top prospects getting called up. The Singleton's, Tavares', and Springer's get all the pub, as they should. Hitters that actually hit the ball only need to be successful 3 out of 10 times, and they are considered fantastic… even all-stars. Now a pitcher gets 3 out of 10 wins, he's a bum of the highest order, like a bum that can't play an instrument, but has a puppy for sympathy change. We all know that guy. So the rookie RP getting called up around this time may stick with their respective teams, and they may not. The three in particular I am referring to are Cam Bedrosian, Shae Simmons and Corey Knebel. Bedrosian's numbers in the minors are crazy unimaginable, and he could find himself in a great situation once he gains the trust of the bullpen-opath in Scoiscia. The latter two are prolly not really factors, just yet as Simmons is blocked by the current GOAT at the position, and Knebel, albeit the first 2013 draft pick to make the majors, is going to be a bit-player until next year unfold's. I just wanted to point out that bullpen only-guys that get promoted need some love, it's not like they smell like that musically challenged, puppy wielding guy from previous. These adds are more of a deeper league or keeper league adds now, though I have speculated on Bedrosian in a 16-teamer with a deeper bench.Please, blog, may I have some more?
There is something to be said about doing your job, and then saying "good job but the regular guy is back, and he's taking your job back." Mark Melancon filled in swimmingly for the injured Jason Grilli and his line is better than most closers in the F-tier of my rankings. To his dismay, Grilli is back, and is being eased back into his role. Is it fair? Probably. Does it suck for Melancon stat vultures? Most definitely. Going back exactly one year, when Melancon became a fantasy stalwart on our rosters, he has an ERA under 2, 25 Saves and 17 Holds. That's all after Grilli went down last year. Besides the K factor, which is in Grilli's favor, Melancon is basically being grounded for getting only an A- in English class… but but but it's still and A!, I'm sure he's muttering. But, I'm rooting for Grilli, dat journeyman done good, saved all those kids from dat thang. Whatever that thing was. You know the story. No? Well make one up, tell your friends it happened, and let's start a rumor. So good luck Jason Grilli, just make sure to look both ways when you cross the street. Oh, we totally forgot about your 3 BS in April. Cause you're back here forever. Subliminal message: Hold onto Melancon.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Lots of haps going on in the end-game of fake baseball this week. Matt Lindstrom fell down and sprained his crown. Surgery has already happened, so if you're stuck in traffic, or your league has weekly adds instead of daily, Ronald Belisario looks like the dude. In case your looking for alterior adds, Daniel Webb looks like he will get some looks, as Belisario isn't a spring chicken, nor proven commodity. So add willingly if space allows. Also in Oakland, where nothing ever survives, or lives there permanently, according to Jay(Wrong) [Ed. Note– I was wrong. Bail Bondsman flourish there…], they finally got smart, used their shoe phone, and called in the option that may have been the right choice all along. Sean Doolittle is the shiny new toy, until the new shiny toy comes around or he breaks. I love me some Doolittle. If there was a wagon that hosted bands on it, I would be a groupie I guess. He has the K rate, the arsenal, but gets the whole "he is a lefty" shenanigans. So look past his Loogyness and just dig on the beard and 12-plus K rate, or if that doesn't do it for ya, the 30/1 K/BB ratio. Or if that doesn't get ya… well, err… that was my last detail, sorry. Enjoy the tidbits of straight sizzurp laced knowledge that Stephen Hawking would even Ctl+Alt+Esc.Please, blog, may I have some more?
This whole opening will be devoted to Trevor Rosenthal. Why? Because you are being put on notice, a notice to cease and desist your sucktitude. Watching you makes me wanna renew my prescription card to the herbal remedy place. The stats are yuck, take your K's and jump around as he huffs and puffs and blows your WHIP house down. I wanna take a moment and send this note just for Trevor.
Trevor… Hey what's up man. I don't know you, don't know if you read Razzball, but you should, because we are like the Danity Kane of Fantasy Baseball. Take a look over your shoulder my friend, you see that beard having flame thrower getting prepped in the minors? Yeah, that's basically Wally Pipp coming back, but in this case he will be called Jason Motte. Now, Jason is a level-headed bloke, he stabbed someone in 3rd grade for stealing his apple sauce at snack time, and though all charges were dropped and wall-ball was played after… he is coming. Like the Balrog that Gandalf had to beat up… You have been warned homie. Oh, and say hello to your mother for me.
So if you are reading this and have a DL spot,or a wasted spot you wanna spec on for a week or two, now is the time. What's the worst that can happen? Well, he comes back and shats the bed on your bench, but who cares? That's like doing it on someone else's bed, and they have a maid. Stick around for some tid-bits or bits of tid for the guy who wears a helmet and reads this column.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Another Saturday with money on the line. It's like sitting in AC, but not being bothered by the annoying people whose whole day revolves around being in AC. That prolly doesn't make sense if you have never been so go and bring NJ some money. As you can tell by the title I am like a stutterer today and hitching my cart or your cart to the Cabreras. You don't have to listen but the matriarch of the Cabrera family won't be happy or amused one bit. So mosey on over to DraftKings for some fun today and if you are having trouble deciding who to use go check out Rudy's version of Skynet. The DFSBot is so helpful for you daily fantasy folk that if you don't use it you should be arrested and charged with some felonious crime that in the end of the day gets you community service. Enjoy the day and good luck.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Hey, hey, hey, talking relievers on Thursday. What could be better? Well, maybe ice cream covered in Kate Upton. Actually strike that and flip it. That sounds better. OR exactly the same. Regardless, the top 'pens are starting to take shape as we reach the 1/5 part of the season. The who's are the who's and the what the eff's are, well, what the eff's. The MLB average for bullpen ERA is 3.92. Now, that isn't exactly something that makes you have confidence in any teams collective bullpens. That's why you get to be selective… take who you want and disregard the rest. It's like the Chinese buffet down the street– not everything looks edible, and yeah, you will probably get sick from most of it, but there's some value savings. Always go with the soup, excellent starter, can't go wrong with that option. So, take a look at bullpen arms that are doing these three things: Save situations, games with the lead, and total batters faced (and the percentage of K's from that). You have those three things, you have a stout middle reliever. Yeah, I hear ya dude in the corner with his hand raised, there are other stats that we should look at. Everyone looks at them, every site pounds you on the simple stats. Dig deeper, look past the first page of stats and do something different. Sorry… I was yelling. I get mad when I am hungry. Food for me, continue reading and comments for you.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Playwright: David Mamet
Director: Barbara Damashek
Set during one long day, this play follows three small-time but ambitious crooks as they plan to rob a man of his valuable coin collection, including what they believe to be an extremely valuable "Buffalo nickel." As the day goes on, paranoia builds, motivations change and loyalties shift, with characters wielding words like weapons to intimidate and manipulate each other. But they're a little out of luck and way out of their league, so when the con goes awry, it's every man for himself. Tickets: auroratheatre.org; (510) 843-4822

The Cold Nowhereby Brian Freeman
Edgar Award finalist and international bestselling author Brian Freeman brings the long-awaited return of Lieutenant Jonathan Stride to the bitter cold of Duluth, Minnesota. Sixteen-year-old Catalina Mateo shows up unannounced one night in Detective Jonathan Stride's home, dripping wet from a desperate plunge into the icy waters of Lake Superior. Her sodden clothes stained with blood, Cat spins a tale of a narrow escape from a shadowy pursuer. Stride decides to trust this girl, but his judgment may be clouded by memories of Cat's mother. Ten years earlier, Cat hid under the porch of her family home while her mother was brutally butchered by her ex-con father. Stride still blames himself for not preventing the slaughter. But is Cat telling the truth? Stride's police partner, Maggie Bei, doubts the homeless girl, who has been living rough on the streets of Duluth since her mother's death--and now sleeps with a knife hidden under her pillow. As Stride investigates Cat's story, more violence trails in the teenager's wake--and Maggie's suspicions about her deepen. Now a single question haunts the void between them: Should Stride be afraid for--or of--this terribly damaged girl?From the Hardcover edition.
Goodbye to the Deadby Brian Freeman
Detective Jonathan Stride's first wife, Cindy, died of cancer eight years ago, but her ghost hangs over Stride's relationship with current lover, and fellow detective, Serena Dial. When Serena witnesses a brutal murder outside a Duluth bar, she stumbles onto a case with roots that go all the way back to the last year of Cindy Stride's life.At the time, Cindy and Stride were on opposite sides of a domestic murder investigation. Gorgeous, brilliant Janine Snow--a surgeon transplanted to Duluth from Texas--was the prime suspect in the shooting death of her husband. Cindy believed her friend Janine was innocent, but Stride thought all the evidence pointed to the surgeon--even though the gun was never found. Despite Cindy's attempts to help Janine, the case led to a high-profile murder trial in which Janine was convicted and sent to prison.During the current investigation, Serena finds a gun used in the murder of a woman connected to an organized crime syndicate--a gun that turns out to be the same weapon used to kill Janine Snow's husband. Two unrelated cases years apart suddenly have a mysterious connection. As Stride investigates the possibility that human traffickers are targeting women in the Duluth port, he begins to question whether he made a terrible mistake eight years ago by putting an innocent woman in prison. And whether he will ever be able to make peace with the memory of his beloved wife and give his heart to Serena.

Strippedby Brian Freeman

Any number of people might have wanted to kill M.J. Another death is troubling the Vegas force - that of a little boy, killed in a hit-and-run incident involving a stolen car. Then the body of a woman is found in a remote farmhouse. Could the murders be linked? It seems the killer wants to send a message about the brutal slaying decades earlier of a nightclub dancer.

As he walks through the cemetery, a local sheriff's car pulls up and an officer steps out, pulls out his gun, and takes his own life before Stride even has time to react. After giving his statement to the police, Stride is asked to unofficially investigate the reason behind the suicide by the officer's young widow--a woman who several years earlier had become famous as the survivor of a horrific kidnapping--and to clear out of town as soon as possible by the sheriff, who is up for reelection. Against his better instincts, Stride becomes enmeshed in a gruesome and suspenseful search for a local killer who knows things no one alive should know--and who may kill again to keep it that way.
The Watcherby Brian Freeman

Lieutenant Jonathan Stride has never forgotten the case that made him decide to join the police force. Back in the 1970s, Laura - sister of Stride's girlfriend - was murdered. The obvious suspect was a vagrant, who slipped through the hands of the police, including Stride's detective hero Roy. Now, though, Stride's looking at the case in a new light. Tish Verdure, an old friend of Laura's, has come home: and she's certain that the killer was a local boy, now an attorney with connections at the highest level. Stride's soon convinced that there was a deliberate decision to direct the investigation towards a simple solution and away from Tish's suggested perpetrator: but he's also convinced that Tish is hiding a secret about the past. A secret that could have shattering consequences - including a second murder...

vlc4iphone Ports VLC Media Player to... You Guessed It
Jailbroken iPhone/iPod touch only: Free application vlc4iphone ports the popular open-source media player VLC—voted as one of the best desktop media players by Lifehacker readers—to your iPhone or iPod touch. Apart from supporting virtually any media type you throw at it (I'd recommend using an app like previously mentioned DiskAid to get media to your iPhone), the VLC port streams internet radio, and can even stream media over your network. If you're dying to play unsupported file types on your device and aren't eager to transcode them to do so, vlc4iphone can do the trick. vlc4iphone is free, requires a jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch. The app is still rough around the edges (some playback was buggy for me, and there's no landscape mode), but it's not a bad start. Thanks Niranjan! vlc4iphone [zodttd]

Watch YouTube Clips Inside GNOME's Built-In Movie Player
The Tombuntu blog points out something many GNOME-based Linux users may not have known—the newest version of Totem (available in the Hardy Heron beta), the default multimedia player, can search and play YouTube videos directly through the video sharing site's API. Simply head to Edit->Plugins->Configure plugins, then check the "YouTube" plugin. Want some of the higher-res goodies web viewers are getting? Go ahead and grab a H264 plugin and activate it the same way. From my experience, search runs a little slower, but I haven't seen the occasional syncing/freezing problems once in Totem that I often spot at the Flash-based player.

text: Joel Esler wrote: > My only problem with the article is the inaccuracy of the headline. > Gawker is known for their sensationalism. Frustratingly awesome. My only problem with your commentary on this is the inaccuracy of your use of the word "inaccuracy". Although technically "inaccurate" means only "not accurate", due to the tendency of (simpler) humans to conceive "accuracy" as a binary state (akin to true/false), common use of "inaccurate" tends to have a strong connotation of "false", and even "wrong" (with all its connotations). (Should we be surprised that Wikitionary suffers this misperception, unlike the professionally maintained dictionaries I checked?) You would have been more accurate (now, how can that be a meaningful utterance for something that ostensibly has binary state?) to have said: My only problem with the article is the less than fully accurate headline. Gawker is known for their sensationalism. ... Of course, that is not quite as sensationalistic as strongly connoting that Gawker was wrong... True, their headline was not fully accurate. But do you really not think that Apple must at least partly carry the can for this? After all, it was Apple that decided to make 3G iPads available in the US (and Canada I presume) via an exclusive deal with AT&T. If the devices were available across any 3G network, Apple's customers would have had to choose their carrier, and thus only those who chose AT&T (a presumably small number from what I've heard of that network's coverage, reliability and service) would have been exposed by this lack of security smarts at AT&T (well, we have to speculate and as you seem to be into sensationalism, let me assume that none of the other 3G networks are run by such security dullards as those at AT&T). Of course, the real reason behind Apple's choice of AT&T had nothing to do with "providing the most consistent user experience" and all that touchy-feely mush the fanboiz lap up, but had everything to do with making the device "more exclusive" and keeping the price rather on the high side (i.e. it was about making profits for Apple, and presumably the fixed-term service contracts had something to do with making profits for AT&T). So, I have no sympathy for Apple being socked with the full blame for something like this. If Apple really cared about its reputedly ever so valuable customers, Apple would have made sure that it was not teaming with a security-challenged carrier and thus inflicting that carrier's low standards on Apple's "valuable customers". (And arguably it would have made the device network agnostic to provide its ever so valuable customers the best range of choice to get the device and carrier deal that suited them...) Apple is at least as guilty in this as AT&T, because from a great deal of pre-existing commentary on the quality of AT&T's service in general, and from its direct past experince with the iPhone fiasco, it seems that Apple should have been more than aware of the potential for brand spoilage by partnering with AT&T. So, to label this anything other than a failure by Apple, and worse to only focus on AT&T's role in this (I'm not saying that Joel did this -- just that some are), is actually aiding and abetting Apple, maintaining the Jobs/fanboi circle-jerk that "everything Apple is perfect".

Amada has merged Amada Cutting Technologies (ACT, Los Angeles, California) and Amada Wasino America (AWA, Chicago, Illinois) to establish a new sales-specific company, Amada Machine Tools America. Headquartered in Chicago, the location of the company's core base for its sheet metal and press business in North America, the new firm combines AWA's turning and grinding technologies with ACT's band saw and bimetal blade technologies. The company says this will provide customers with a wider range of proposals on the cutting process and further develop the branding of the Amada name based on a two-business-line system.
Toshinori Ichimura, current president of ACT and AWA, has been appointed president of the new 40-employee division. Amada Machine Tool (Isehara, Japan), a sales company for the manfuacturer's cutting and machine tool business that was established in October 2009, will be responsible for sales and manufacturing as well as general administration of overseas affiliates.
