What is Boulder Creek, CA Business VoIP?
No matter the industry, every business needs a phone system that is designed to meet their calling needs. Business Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the system for businesses in Boulder Creek, CA. It uses the high-speed Internet connection in your business for making and receiving phone calls. Additionally, this type of service offers all types and sizes of businesses necessary flexibility and features.
Although business and residential customers have VoIP service options, there is a major difference between the service delivered to each. There are tools and features for businesses that enable them to succeed. For residential customers, however, the plans are for standard inbound/outbound calling and other basic features.
By using the broadband Internet connection, companies can use business VoIP to make calls without using the traditional phone lines. When companies choose a plan for this type of service, they will receive a PBX phone system that includes call management and advanced productivity features.
While these features are usually considered add-ons when companies get business phone service through traditional phone companies, they are part of the business VoIP service. In addition, most providers also include flexibility and mobility that does not come with a traditional phone company.
With this in mind, it is a good idea to shop around to know what is being offered in the market. Companies should compare what they can get with a business broadband provider compared to what they are receiving from their current phone service provider. Companies will see obvious differences in service offerings and prices.

"Fighting in Japan is always something I've wanted to do and I'm glad I get to do it on the biggest stage in the world in the UFC." - Brad Tavares
As a kid growing up on the Hawaiian island of Kailua, Brad Tavares dreamed of one day seeing the world. The ambition to do so was never in short supply, but the idea of traveling the globe and the means to bring this goal to fruition, at times appeared to be as distant as the sun setting across the western horizon.
In many cases, leaving the small island paradise is a door which never opens. And while Tavares may be Hawaiian to the bone, there was a world and a sport beyond the shores that were waiting for him.
At just 23 years old, Tavares was selected to participate in the 11th season of The Ultimate Fighter. While the reality show was the Xtreme Couture-product's introduction to the UFC fan base, the two years which have followed have been the most rewarding. In his five showings inside the Octagon, Tavares has emerged victorious in all but one affair, showcasing an ever-evolving skill set in the process.
Working under mentor Ray Sefo has allowed Tavares to add unique elements to an already strong striking game. The 25-year-old's standup attack has always been the foundation of his success, but with a mind for detail and a blue collar work ethic, Tavares has added elements of speed and power, making his greatest attribute all the more dangerous.
The commitment to honing his craft has allowed Tavares to collect back-to-back wins, and he will be looking to keep the momentum rolling when he steps into the cage this weekend with Riki Fukuda at UFC on FUEL TV 8 in Tokyo, Japan.
For Tavares, competing in the "Land of the Rising Sun" will be another dream realized. For a kid who has made his way through the world based on his ability to stay on the grind, the fires of motivation are stoked heading into his showdown with Fukuda in Japan.
"Honestly…growing up, Japan was a place I always wanted to go," Tavares said. "I'm not much of a person who wants to fight in crazy places, but Japan is definitely one of the places I've always wanted to fight in. I grew up watching PRIDE and K-1. I've seen those crowds and the type of shows they've put on. It has always intrigued me. Fighting in Japan is always something I've wanted to do and I'm glad I get to do it on the biggest stage in the world in the UFC.
"I'm always trying to please the fans and put on a fun fight. I'm looking to showcase my striking and go for the finish. If the opportunity arises, I'm going to take that finish wherever I can get it. I'm going to try to knock him out, but if it goes to the ground, I'll try to submit him there. I want to get one of these bonuses and put on a great fight for the Japanese fans. I want to win these fans over forever. That's what they say about the Japanese fans. You put on a good show for them and you have fans for life. That's what I'm going to do for them."
While striking may be the source of talent that sparked Tavares's career as a mixed martial artist, training at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas has paid dividends in other areas. The Las Vegas gym is well known for housing some of the best wrestlers in MMA, in addition to a revolving door of top-level grapplers aspiring to cut their teeth in a new venue. The constant grind has served to sharpen the TUF alum's wrestling skills and they will come in handy against Fukuda.
The Japanese fighter uses a wrestling-heavy attack, and training at the American Kickboxing Academy will only serve to strengthen Fukuda's skills. While Tavares expects the 32-year-ol to be looking to take the fight to the canvas, he is prepared to handle anything Fukuda brings his way.
"[Fukuda] likes to grind and wrestle but he doesn't really possess that strong, Division I-type wrestling," Tavares said. "I'm not taking anything away from him because he is a good fighter, but he doesn't bring that powerful style of wrestling. He strikes to get to a single and tries to put guys on the mat, but I'm confident in my takedown defense and that I'll be able to stuff him and stop his takedowns. I've seen in his past fights, when that does happen, he is no stranger to brawling. If he wants to do that, it is all the better for me. A standup battle is exactly what I want.
"That being said, this is the UFC where the best of the best fight. Anything can happen. I'm not expecting only one attack from him, and I've taken all aspects of the fight into consideration. If he does take me to the mat, I've been working heavily on my jiu-jitsu and wrestling games. I'll be ready for wherever the fight goes. Obviously I'd like to keep the fight on the feet, but if it doesn't go that way, I'll get to show a different side of my game."
"I never wrestled in high school, college, or any of those things," Tavares continued. "But the team I started out with, wrestling was one of our foundations. We saw it early on that wrestling can dictate where the fight goes and it's something we worked on constantly. Striking is where I excel and the most fun part of fighting for me. That is what a lot of people see from me, but I would say I have a pretty strong wrestling game as well.
"On occasion we've had college wrestlers come by the gym, and I do very well against them. Recently Martin Kampmann brought in a wrestler who had just competed in the Olympics and I was able to do pretty well against him in straight-up wrestling. Those things are confidence boosters. People probably won't see a (Jon) Fitch from me, where I take my opponent down and grind them, but I do posses solid offensive and defensive wrestling skills."
With the bout against Fukuda quickly approaching, the goals Tavares has set for himself are coming within reach. Often times, young fighters are looking to grab the lion's share of opportunity as quick as it comes, but an elevated sense of maturity has Tavares willing to take his journey through mixed martial arts one step at a time.
He understands victory is the catalyst which makes all things possible in the realm of combat sports. By defeating Fukuda on Saturday night in Japan, the next step will become available, and Tavares is ready to hit the next tier of the middleweight division at full speed.
"I want to keep the ride going," Tavares said. "I definitely want to be in the Top 10 of this middleweight division and a win over Fukuda will get me closer to that goal. I don't think it will quite get me into the Top 10, but it will definitely put me in a position to fight the guys who are there. I want to be on another good show, especially for the Japanese fans, and come home with the 'W'".
"2013 is the perfect time for me to make my move up the ladder. A bunch of the guys who were in contention fell out recently. The opportunity is there, and with a good win over Fukuda, I can get a bigger name on a higher stage. I definitely think the division is wide open and I'm looking to make my run."

INDIANAPOLIS — A born and bred Hoosier, Ryan Newman spent his childhood racing everywhere from Anderson to Winchester and every short track he could find in a state mad about racing.
He graduated from Purdue and landed a summer job working in Jeff Gordon's old race shop in Pittsboro. One of the perks? He got to live in the shop and sleep alongside the cars.
And like many Indiana kids, he revered Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the track he first visited in 1986 and later accidentally stumbled upon NASCAR's inaugural 1992 test while out buying tires with his mother.
A win at the famed Brickyard? That would be a dream come true for the South Bend native.
Newman made the boyhood dream a cool reality, taking the checkered flag Sunday to end a 49-race winless streak in front of his home state fans. His parents, who fueled his love of racing and took him to the 500 as a kid, joined him for his biggest win in Indiana.
Newman was as cool and collected in Victory Lane as he was on the track when he held off Jimmie Johnson. There were no tears, no quiver in his voice and no need to collect himself as Newman was strangely stoic.
"I don't show a lot of emotion, I think everybody knows that," said Newman, who likened the victory to his 2008 win at the Daytona 500. "I had the same emotion, the same thankfulness I did when I won the Daytona 500 because I feel everybody that has been a part of my racing career — from people that bought my racing uniform, bought me a right rear tire, given us a credit card to get to some race track at some point in my career — those are the people that helped me get to where I am today.
"To me, it's awesome to be here at Indy. It's awesome because it's my home state. I've raced go karts at pretty much every go kart track around here, been kicked out of half of them. Those are the things that make it special. I think about those things more than I carry the emotion on my cheeks."
So the emotion was seen in father Greg, who spotted for Newman on Sunday, and his mother, Diane.
Newman kept it together during his celebratory burnout and the drive to Victory Lane, a hallowed area that he twice had to ask his crew over the radio for directions how to get there. He took the customary ride in a convertible around the track with his wife and two young daughters, and happily bowed again and again to kiss the Yard of Bricks.
Sure, he smiled, and shared some tender hugs with one of his daughters. But that was the most anyone was getting out of Newman, who had admitted to getting emotional after winning the pole on Saturday but seemed almost numb following Sunday's win.
"I'm not sure (how I feel) at this point. I know it's an amazing feeling," he said. "I was more emotional yesterday after winning the pole than I was two laps after doing my donuts and everything else today. I'm not sure why. I took an emotional hit yesterday. Just an awesome day."
Newman beat Johnson twice on this Brickyard weekend, first when he set a NASCAR track record in knocking Johnson off the pole in qualifying, then Sunday with a fast final pit stop to snatch the win from the four-time Indianapolis winner.
The two were the class of the field — they combined to lead 118 of the 160 laps — but it was Johnson who dominated the race and appeared to be just a bit better. But Johnson pitted from the lead with 27 laps remaining and it was a slow final stop for the Hendrick Motorsports crew.
Newman pitted after that and took only two tires to move into the lead after the green-flag stops cycled through the field. The closest Johnson would get to him again was when he paid a congratulatory visit to Newman in Victory Lane.
The victory comes as Newman is looking for a job.
Stewart-Haas Racing has signed Kevin Harvick to join the team next season, and team co-owner Tony Stewart informed Newman two weeks ago he won't be brought back in 2014. It didn't change the post-race mood, as Stewart hustled to Victory Lane, lifted Newman from behind and the two shared a long embrace.
"He just had an awesome weekend," Stewart said. "I kept looking up the board and watching and I was scared to ask where he was at and how big of a lead he had. I didn't want to jinx him. Just really proud of him — he's a great teammate and an even better friend."
Johnson, the Sprint Cup Series points leader who was hoping to tie Formula One's Michael Schumacher as the only five-time winners in Indy history, finished 2.657 seconds behind Newman in second.
"There's definitely disappointment there, but that's racing. It happens," Johnson said. "We win as a team, lose as a team. There's been some late race mistakes on my behalf that have taken race wins away from us. Granted, not a major event like this. We still ended up second.
"We have a lot to be proud of over the course of the weekend. We'll do the best to let it roll off our shoulders by tomorrow afternoon."
Kasey Kahne, Johnson's Hendrick Motorsports teammate, was third and Stewart was fourth as Chevrolet swept the top four spots. All four cars were also powered by Hendrick Motorsports.
"We had pretty good power all day long. There were a lot of scenarios where I noticed how good it was," Stewart said. "That's what you expect out of the Hendrick engine department. That's the standard that they set."
Matt Kenseth was fifth in a Toyota and followed by Hendrick's Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon, as all four Hendrick entries landed inside the top seven. Earnhardt rallied from a loose wheel on the opening run of the race to grab his top-10 finish.
"I knew it was loose," said Earnhardt, adding it was a no-brainer to pit. "You have a wheel falling off, you have something serious happening. Come in, it's dangerous staying out there. You can hit the wall, or wreck something, or wreck some other people. I don't want to do that. It is a long race. We had an early chance to fix that, and that is fine. It gave us an opportunity to try some different strategies, and it worked out for us."
Joey Logano was eighth in a Ford, and followed by Juan Pablo Montoya and Kyle Busch, who picked up his first career win at the Brickyard in Saturday's Nationwide Series race.
NASCAR's 20th running at the historic Brickyard wasn't the most exciting race — there were three cautions, for stalled cars or debris, and no accidents or spins — and the field spread out into single-file racing and passing wasn't easy. Montoya complained at one point over his radio that attempting to pass another car only cost him position on track.
"It's just Indy, it's always hard to pass," Kahne shrugged. "The competition's close, so you can get runs and then you can kill your run a little bit if that guy runs a certain part of the race track. So the guys that know where to put their car when a car being them is faster, it's tough to pass them."
The in-race intrigue came via varied strategies among the teams as they all tried different methods to steal a good finish in a race that logged as the fastest Brickyard in history at 2 hours, 36 minutes and 22 seconds.
"Overall I thought it was an exciting race," said Kenseth. "I thought there was a lot of different strategies there at the end and the two fastest cars ended up battling for the win. It wasn't any harder (to pass) than normal. It's just always hard to pass here."

These words come from To You, a collection of thoughts from Sawaki Kodo you may find on line on Antaiji's website:
As a human being, whatever you do, you should do it in a way that can't be repeated a second time. What can be repeated is best left to the robots.
Life doesn't run on tracks.
Birds don't sing in major or minor. Bodhidharma's teaching doesn't fit on lined paper.*
The buddha-dharma is wide and unlimited. When you try to hold it still, you've missed it. It isn't dried cod, but a live fish. Living fish have no fixed form.
In the soldier's handbook it says that in war you must be prepared for a thousand different possibilities. That doesn't just go for war – there's no rule book for life either. When you try to live your life according to a manual, you're sure to fail.*
For a court case as well, it goes without saying that you have to be on your guard when everything runs according to the book.
The wild geese leave no traces,*
yet no matter where they fly, they never lose their way.*
There are no footprints on the way of the bird. It's not the same as a steam engine that runs on tracks or an ox's well-worn path.
Don't we live life from moment to moment? How could we possibly take life, analyze it, systematize it and file it away?
However much you accomplish in this life, you can't present any of it at the last judgement. You will die naked.
In the end, there will be nothing left for you to do besides let go.
Isn't it evident that the greatest happiness consists in doing what you have to do?
You can't depend on anything. The value of things changes. This insight is what motivated Shakyamuni to renounce his King's title, to leave his wife and son and become a monk.
These words are inspired by one of the most neglected yet the most important chapter of Shobogenzo called Yui Butsu Yo Butsu , Buddhas alone, together with Buddha , which I will soon start to comment on. The ungraspable is the very essence and secret of our path, coming from nothing and going to nothing, we are a pure expression of freedom or this is not that depressing after all, nobodycan actually describe who we are, pin down what we are made of. The freedom of being nobody and going nowhere cannot be matched.

Alana: What a generous soul. Love your podcast. Sitting in a hotel room knitting a citron with Malibrigo Lace listening to your blog is sublime. I like the Thistle #1 - white as snow. You knit beautifully. Rosemary

I really like the Old Rose colorway. It is so vintage and soft. I enjoy your podcasts so much!

thanks for another great podcast... #3 looks the best colour to me, although I love the burgundy too.

Love the darling little Dindy Beret in the Old Rose. I've missed your podcast; happy the next series has begun!

My favorite is the deep red - Thistle #8. Love the photos of your daughter in the Dindy Hat. My 4yo oftens begins the day by declaring it is going to be a silly day. And she's always right!
- March 18, 2010 at 7:52 AM
You should really try cabling without a cable needle! Makes the whole process much smoother, and no fiddly little extra bit to use.
I love #8. Looks burgundy, but when you enlarge it, it becomes a nice red. At least, it does on my monitor! - March 18, 2010 at 9:17 AM
- Elly said...
Wow! What a beautiful hat! I'd love to try Thistle # 1. I can imagine myself wearing each hat in white, that way, they match my spring clothes that I will be wearing soon. Thx for this fun giveaway :)

Loved hearing you discuss your experience with Thistle. I'm a huge fan of Louisa Harding's Grace and from what you say about Thistle, I'm going to have to get my hands on some of that.
My color faves are thistle #8 (looks like a nice glass of Zinfandel), and second fave is #3, a very pretty soft gray.
Love listening. - March 18, 2010 at 4:49 PM

Love the yarn - thanks for the give-away offer.
I would be so happy with the old Rose colour way.
Was happy to have you to listen to on our March Break trip.

I've been thinking of making this hat for a few weeks now and love how yours turned out. My favorite color in the Louisa Harding Thistle would have to be #3.

- PinotNoir said...
It's a tough choice on the color of the Thistle I like best. The berry #8 is really pretty, but I think I have to go with the natural #1 as a go-with-everything choice.
Love the 16 cable hat - I just love berets anyway, and that one has some real character. - March 18, 2010 at 11:03 PM

It is such a treat listening to your podcast while I ... KNIT, of course! I am smitten with Thistle #11, but all of the colors are lovely. Thanks for offering the giveaway, Alana!

Just discovered your podcast today. It's been a wonderful distraction... I just waved goodbye to my son as he goes on a camp with the school to Central Australia. The house seemed very empty when I got home but listening to your podcast was a wonderful distraction.
Where was I? Ah yes! I really like the 'Old Rose" colourway. That hat looks exquisite. (Fingers crossed!!)

My favorite color is the #11, the dark peacock blue.
I have had the 16 cable hat in my Ravelry favorites for quite sometime. *Crossing my fingers* - March 20, 2010 at 2:19 AM
If I was lucky enough to win I would choose Thistle #8, a sort of mulberry color.

YAY! The NNK podcast is back!
I love Thistle in #11.
DebbieC - March 20, 2010 at 9:16 AM
I am totally in love with Thistle color #11. It is a deep green that I think would be perfect for the 16 cabled hat! The podcast, as always, was wonderful!

Deb in NJ - March 21, 2010 at 10:52 AM
- Stephanie said...
Hmmm... a fav color is so difficult to choose since there's a couple I like. I think I'd have to go with the old rose color as I'd be able to make a warm and pretty hat for my daughter with it!

I like Thistle #11. Beautiful yarn. Love your hats. I'm really enjoying your podcast. Thanks for the giveaway!

I love the hats and the yarn! I want them all! #11 is my fave.
Your story this podcast was hilarious. I had a similar experience when I discovered my first yarn store. HEAVEN!! I haven't slept with any yarns yet, but I have some Misti Alpaca that I admit I fondle often. SO SOFT.

Hi Alana. I am new to your postcast and really enjoying it.
I always drop or lose my cable needle, but I stumbled on a solution. I "inheritied" a couple of slightly bent dpns -- I don't know if they're wood or bamboo or what, and I'm not sure it was purchased already bent or that the previous owner bent it. But it stays stuck in my knitting projects much better than my other cable needle and it works just fine as a substitute cable needle. I don't know if this will help you or not. - March 23, 2010 at 11:35 AM

Love the depth of #8. And the yarn does look wonderfully cushy!

I loved your podcast!!! Although I've never worked with Thistle before I think my favorite colors are #1, #3 and #5 and I have seen your pictures for the 16 cable hat and it makes me want to knit one up right away.

Cute hat! Don't know where I've been--I have never seen that pattern. I like color #1, white (or cream).

Chris in Maine - March 25, 2010 at 6:23 PM
- Bronwyn said...
It's tough, but of all the colors listed on Loops, I think I'd choose #11, the greenish-tealish color. I've been considering the Cedar Leaf Shawlette anyway, and this color would be nice and leafy without being all-out green. (And I agree: why do yarn companies, and car manufacturers, for that matter, just use numbers? Isn't creating color names the fun part? It's just like lipstick or nail polish. Color names evoke emotion and inspiration.)
I also have to say that the Yarn Fetish story made me laugh out loud in the car. Who hasn't snuggled up with a ball of yarn fresh from the store? But to roll over and pull the ball from its own bed and into yours is hilarious! Must have been some dream!
Bronwyn in IL - March 26, 2010 at 6:36 AM

This was the first time I have listened to your podcast and really enjoyed it. If I was buying LH Thistle I would either buy #1 white or Old Rose. Wish there were more color choices but I could always dye the white. Thanks for the info. Love the hat you made for your daughter.

Supercharge Your Life With A Remarkable Mind
Into Matter Technology That Trains Your Brain To
Pull Your Wildest Dreams Into Reality...
The Mind Movies phenomenon has empowered over 5.8 million people to transform their finances, careers, health and relationships. Join the revolution today!
A message from Natalie Ledwell, founder of Mind Movies:
Every now and then, an invention or breakthrough comes along that changes, well, everything.
For transportation it was cars and airplanes.
For power it was electricity.
For communication it was telephones, then the internet.
Each of these breakthroughs sparked an important shift in the human experience.
But what about the most important experience of all... the one taking place in our minds?
Is the way you use your mind today, different from how your parents, grandparents and ancestors used theirs?
What if I told you it could be different... in all the right ways.
What if I told you there has been a scientific - yet also beautifully spiritual - breakthrough involving the mind...
That could erase virtually all the brain fog... the bad habits... the self-defeating thoughts... and even the sense of lack that may have held you back in the past?
And that could once again change everything about your human experience?
If you're like most people, you've arrived here because there is something, big or small, that's missing in your life.
Maybe you're struggling to get out of debt -
Or maybe you just want a little more money in the bank.
Maybe you're dreaming of a career breakthrough -
Or maybe you just want a little more recognition and compensation at work.
Maybe you're looking to overcome an illness or lose weight -
Or maybe you just want more energy and vitality in your daily life.
You might even be searching for a soulmate who's made for you -
Or maybe you want to feel closer to the one you've already got.
Whatever it is that brought you here, there are two crucial facts you must know:
1. You are not alone, and it is NOT your fault that you're not exactly where you want to be (I'll show you why in just a second).
2. This vital discovery I've found may finally spark that turning point you've been craving (even if nothing else has worked for you in the past).
But before I show you this discovery, we first need to take an honest look at...
Why you're not yet where you want to be.
Chances are, you're no stranger to personal growth.
Maybe you already meditate.
Maybe you're a student of the Law of Attraction.
Maybe you set goals, or you're passionate about productivity or mind hacks that can make you a more efficient human being.
And yet whatever it is you're doing right now...
It's not consistent enough for you.
It's not erasing your most stubborn bad habits and self-doubt.
And you're still struggling with roadblocks, both inside you and around you.
And maybe, despite everything you've tried, it STILL feels like that 'higher' you...
The you with the unbreakable clarity and personal power to live up to your GREATEST potential...
Is still frustratingly out of reach.
But you know what?
I believe you were destined for so much more than just being STUCK.
In fact, I believe you were placed on this planet to achieve, experience, enjoy and create virtually anything your mind can imagine!
This is why I've committed the past decade of my life to showing people that YES... there is an easier, more joyful path to living your greatest life.
One you're about to see for yourself, so please pay very close attention...
My name is Natalie Ledwell,
and I'm the founder of a global human
potential movement known as Mind Movies.
And this discovery I'm talking about began back in 2008, when my business partner Glen and I were struggling serial entrepreneurs.
We owned four messy businesses, each one slowly eating away at our sanity, time and higher purpose.
I had always been a bit of a dreamer, and at the time I was already a student of personal growth for years - thanks to my former boss who got me hooked on a set of Brian Tracy cassettes.
But in all the courses, books, videos and events I devoured, I had always sensed a missed opportunity in it all...
A 'missing link' that should have bridged that crucial gap between what we know we must do on a conscious level...
And the subconscious fuel needed to get us there.
I saw this problem manifesting in myself and in others, over and over... and maybe YOU can recognize it too:
You'll read a book, or attend a seminar, or learn a new technique, and get a priceless a-ha moment from it.
But then, when it's time to put that realization into action, you'll push through with it for a while...
Only to lose steam a few weeks or months down the line -
Ending up right back where you started; none the richer and none the wiser.
And that's what so much of conventional personal growth is like:
It's like being handed the keys to a supercar... only to realize the car breaks down every few miles!
For years I dealt with this frustrating reality in almost every practice I used, from meditation to the Law of Attraction to goal setting.
But everything changed for Glen and me when one day, a friend shared a visualization technique he had been quietly developing.
It was a homemade 3-minute slideshow-style video of what he wished his life looked like.
He had uploaded this video on YouTube, thinking he'd inspire others with it - and within days it had gathered thousands of views from curious people who wanted to know:
How can I make one of these for myself???
Knowing Glen and I as resourceful (and crazy stressed out) entrepreneurs, he reached out to us to help him grow this idea.
That's how Mind Movies was born...
And today, over 8 years later, it has spread like wildfire across personal growth communities worldwide...
Revolutionizing how over 5.8 million people grow, manifest, earn, heal and achieve.
But what exactly is Mind Movies?
Mind Movies is a multi-sensory technology that simplifies and streamlines your process of personal growth...
Allowing you to spark DEEP inner transformation, as easily as pressing PLAY on a video.
And how it works couldn't be simpler:
1. You CREATE your own personalized 'Mind Movie', using our easy creation software (anyone can do it, and it only takes a few minutes).
2. You WATCH your Mind Movie, and the visualization and affirmation technology naturally reprogram your subconscious mind to be in unison with your dreams and desires.
3. Your subconscious mind then works on autopilot to MANIFEST your desired outcomes into reality.
Under the hood of this seemingly simple process you'll find two POWERFUL mind sciences, working in harmony to elevate your reality.
1. The first ingredient is VISUALIZATION
Visualization is the practice of training your subconscious mind to 'see' certain scenarios and outcomes that you want to bring into your reality.
Did you know that your subconscious can't fully differentiate between thoughts and reality?
When you visualize, your subconscious draws on the scenarios and outcomes that you programmed it with, and then takes steps to mirror that 'internal movie' in your actual reality - all without you even realizing it.
This is why many of the world's top performers, from professional athletes to musicians to CEOs, use visualization to stay on top of their game.
2. The second ingredient is AFFIRMATIONS
Affirmations serve the exact same purpose as visualization, which is to reprogram your subconscious mind.
Except instead of visualizing 'movies' in your mind, you recite positive statements like "I am healthy" or "I have all the money I need" or "I am in love with my soulmate."
Just like with visualization, your subconscious mind then absorbs these statements, and works on autopilot to make them a part of your reality.
Further reading on affirmations:
1. The surprising science of affirmations
2. Affirmations boost performance, study finds
3. Leading psychologist weighs in on the power of affirmations
Okay, so visualization and affirmations are powerful on their own... But what happens when you COMBINE the two?
Well, that's where Mind Movies technology comes in.
Through short multimedia videos that harmonize both visualizations and affirmations, Mind Movies reprograms your subconscious mind...
In a way that's easier, faster, more fun and more transformational than you've ever experienced with ANY personal growth tool in the past.
Because by drawing on both vivid imagery AND carefully selected words and phrases...
Your specially engineered Mind Movies give you a truly multi-sensory personal transformation experience that dives deep into your subconscious...
Rewires your thoughts, emotions and habits for the outcomes you want in your life...
And brings your mind's desires into your living, breathing reality.
So, now that you know how it works... let's start putting it to work in YOUR life:

Unexpected cash, unexpected checks, a beautiful spa vacation, even pets!
'I personally have had an amazing experience with Mind Movies. Unexpected cash, unexpected checks, a beautiful spa vacation, even pets; specific pets that I wanted just fell in my lap. It's been great."
Dianne Orwig
Leading Neuroscientist explains how Mind Movies reprograms your brain
"Have you ever been driving down the road in your car, and heard a familiar song on the radio that instantly brings a rush of visuals, emotions and memories into your mind?
Maybe it reminds you of a time in your life - like when you were 16 years old and you had a crush on your first boyfriend. Or when you were 22 and graduating from college. Or when you were 30 and you had your first child.
This trigger is known as an associative memory; the song activates a set of circuits in your brain to remember the past.
Mind Movies works in the exact same way; except instead of remembering your past when you hear that song...
You remember the future you want to create when you watch your Mind Movie.
What's amazing is that biologically this process looks exactly the same in your brain:
"As this associative memory is triggered, your brain begins reorganizing its circuitry and laying down the tracks that turn the future you visualized in your Mind Movie, into reality."
Dr. Joe Dispenza, Neuroscientist & Author
How an 'old school' meditator used Mind Movies to overcome his sense of unworthiness... and manifest a life-changing windfall.
For Tom, a long-time meditation enthusiast, Mind Movies wasn't love at first sight. He was skeptical about the idea of using 'technology' in his meditation and personal growth practice.
But with his friend's encouragement, he decided to try it.
"My first Mind Movie was filled with pictures of saints, yogis, and wise quotes from Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill," muses Tom. "I was focused more on enlightenment, and less on wealth and material things... not so much because I didn't want them, but because I somehow felt unworthy."
Then Tom stumbled upon an online photo of gold and silver coins. On a whim, he decided to include it in his Mind Movie, along with the Chinese character for affluence.
Tom proceeded to use his Mind Movie for a number of weeks to, as he put it, "communicate with my future self and erase my sense of unworthiness."
His turning point happened on a seemingly ordinary day, when a good friend whom he hadn't seen in years came to his house, and placed an envelope on his table.
"Open it," she told him.
In the envelope was her will, written just shy of her 68th birthday.
When Tom skimmed through it, he couldn't believe his eyes.
She had left him $110,000 worth of her fortune... in the form of her gold and silver collection.
Experience the Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit NOW
You now have the power to create your life's greatest story.
A story where success, affluence and well-being are your default state.
And where even your most stubborn challenges and obstacles have ZERO power over you.
What does that story look like for you?
Are you sipping ice-cold daiquiris on a warm and breezy tropical beach?
Are you carving your convertible sports car down the breathtaking slopes of Italy's Amalfi Coast, wind in your face and love of your life by your side?
Are you growing a passion-driven career or business empire that rewards you for helping others with your gifts and talents?
Or maybe you're just enjoying long and lazy afternoons with your loved ones, finally free of the financial, time and health worries that held you back in the past.
Whatever your story is...
Mind Movies can make this your reality - and I'd love nothing more than to PROVE that to you.
At this point, you can surely see the impact Mind Movies can have on any area of life you choose to upgrade.
And yet this is also the point where a lot of people wonder - can I afford this? Will I have time for this? Will I really get the results Nat is talking about?
It would be a crying shame to let your own self-talk get in the way of your highest potential, which is why...
I want to make it an absolute no-brainer for you to try the Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit.
First, please bear in mind that developing the Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit has not been cheap or easy for us.
We've invested hundreds of thousands of dollars working with the world's top audio engineers, videographers, musicians, personal growth and peak performance experts...
To give you what we believe is the most powerful and easy-to-use subconscious reprogramming tool on the planet.
I still remember back in 2008, even before all the new upgrades, our business advisors suggested we sell the basic Mind Movies Creation Kit for $1,000.
I won't lie to you, we did consider this... and we wouldn't have been the first ones to be selling a high-end personal growth technology at that price.
But then we asked ourselves...
How are we going to reach 10 million people - especially those who need this MOST - with a price tag many can't comfortably afford?
So we knocked down the price to the absolute lowest figure we could possibly afford:
Not $1,000...
Not $800...
Not $500...
And not even $300...
But just $197.
And that's the retail price everyone else normally pays for our flagship technology.
But for an extremely limited time, to celebrate crossing the mark of 5.8 million students, I'm pleased to offer you the Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit at a generous 50% off...
So you invest not $197, but just $97 for lifetime access PLUS a whole bunch of goodies you're about to see for yourself.

Try the Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit 100% risk free for 60 days
There's always going to be a movie playing in your mind...
what will yours be?
The truth is, disempowering movies are a fact of life.
They can invade your mind from anywhere - like from things you saw your parents saying or doing growing up.
Or the pain of a bad breakup.
Or a traumatic childhood incident.
Or the frustration from a problem you can't seem to solve at work or at home.
Or fear about something that hasn't even happened yet, like surgery or a tough conversation you need to have with someone.
What's frustrating is, even when you're aware of these 'bad' movies, it's nearly impossible to press the STOP button on them.
But here's the thing:
While you can't stop these 'bad' movies from forming...
You can replace them with empowering movies - and that's exactly what Mind Movies does for you.
So just like how you take a shower whenever you're feeling icky...
The Mind Movies 4.0 Creation Kit is a tool you use over and over again to 'cleanse' your subconscious... whenever negativity or self-destructiveness starts building up inside it.
Let's do this. Together.
Even if nothing else has worked for you in the past...
Even if you're still 50/50 (remember that's what the guarantee is for)...
And even if you're not yet confident in your OWN abilities to make this work...
All I ask is that you do yourself a favor and give this experience a fair shot.
Over 5.8 million people use Mind Movies every day to live happier, healthier, more successful and more abundant lives.
Now it's your turn - just place your order below, and in minutes we'll be helping you make the movie of YOUR greatest life... and turn it into your reality.

A BOY Said "Hi"!
We walked in and a boy said, "Hi Savannah!" A BOY said hi to my little girl!
In my mind, I walked over to him and demanded, "Why are you talking to my daughter? Do you know she's only 13? How do you know her? You better not let your eyes drop below her face, Mister! And pull up your trunks! And get a haircut!" I snapped back to reality and kept on walking before I could embarrass my daughter and make her hate me forever.
Instead I casually asked Savannah, "So, who is that and why does he think he has the right to talk to you?!" I mean, "So, how do you know him?"
Just as casually, she answered, "From school."
"A-HA!" I shouted in her face! "I mean, oh, really, you know him from school. That's nice."
She looked at me, perplexed as to why I was suddenly acting like some sort of psychopath.
"He's just a boy, Mom," she assured me with only the slightest hint of an eye roll.
"Do I know his parents?! Does he go to church? Where does he live? What kind of grades does he get? Does he smoke? Does he do drugs? Is he a nice boy?"
"I mean, um, what's his name?" I asked with a forced smile.
Savannah looked at me, deadpan, and was about to tell me to get a grip when a group of her girlfriends came over, giggling and talking and they all ran off toward the diving board. Being the completely sensible, logical, non-freak-outish mother I am, I sent Lexi to spy on her. Then I sat down to design Savannah's future bathing suit.

Yeah, I GET it, but seriously - my daughter would NEVER speak to me again if I had posted a pic of her like THAT on my blog. And MY blog is only read by a handful of family friends!
Love you though. And, I feel your pain.

It's only going to get worse, my friend. I, too, have a 13 year old daughter. She recently asked me when I went out on my first date. I confessed that I was a sophomore in high school, which for her is only 2 years away.

She's really pretty. You should probably design a mask to go with that suit.

This is very funny. I feel that way about my 4 year old. All the little and not so little boys at our small church are in love with her. (They think she's sweet. HA HA HA HA HA) I keep saying we'll move to Alaska before I'll let any of them NEAR her.
I love the bathing suit! But I don't think even that would keep the boys away - she's very beautiful! - July 30, 2009 at 8:14 AM

I've seen the Duggars wear a bathing suit just like that!! They probably have the link on their site somewhere...

This didn't embarrass Savannah at all because she has a sense of humor and knows that I was just making fun of myself. I ask my older kids if it's ok before posting about them. That's why I don't write much about them.

I was at the park the other day and watched how a group of teen boy and girls were interacting and started to freak out, in my mind, that this will be my girls in ten years. I think I'll have them starting to take tae kwon do classes so they can fend off the male species.

Have you hear Bill Engvall's line about his young daughter wanting to have her belly button pierced? He said the only good thing about a piercing there was it gave him a place to attach the padlock for her chastity belt.

Just wait till she's 17 and you run at her with a towel because she decides to walk through a hotel lobby in here bikini and grown men are staring at her!
Or, when your 12 year old tells you that she has bigger boobs than all the 16-17yo's that she played softball with...and she says it with a gleem in her eye!
Does that bathing suit come with a hood? I'll take 2...no, make that 3... - July 30, 2009 at 2:02 PM

Ah the joys of growing up. My oldest son will be 12 this year. I keep hearing stories about what "other" 12 year old boys are doing (even though mine still thinks all non-related girls have cooties) and I'm thinking....a deabolt on the OUTSIDE of his door might be a good investment.

I have three daughters, the oldest is 7. I'm so not worried about the teen years, cuz I'm packing them off to a convent until they are 35 or I am dead, whichever comes first.

- Katie said...
Mom, he just said "hi"! My daughter is 8 and I am sure I'll be worse.
But on the other hand my oldest son is 6 and he (honestly since he was 3 he has been my little Walmart Greeter) loves to say hello to people. He is quite outgoing and honest to goodness watching him at the pool is like watching a bond salesman work a room. It humors me.
He is just saying hello, mom! Geez. - July 30, 2009 at 2:28 PM
- noexcuses said...
It's only the beginning... but, thankfully, she has an older brother who will kick the butts of (interview) all prospective suiters!
Kudos for not caving in with Brooklyn and taking her with you!
LOVE the designer swimsuit! - July 30, 2009 at 2:29 PM
Love the bathing suit, but are you sure it comes up high enough on her neck? Maybe it needs a hood, too. And I'm sure you intended to include: flippers for the boys with foot fettish disease; and goggles for the perverts who are drawn by the eyes! Too funny, Dawn - too funny! It's the first time in 2 years of sharing that I've ever seen you respond like a normal mother. In situations where the rest of us would be pulling our hair out you are usually so cool and calm. Ahhh - the teen years.
(Seriously - she is so beautiful I'd have her under lock and key and just simply never let her leave the house till she was at least thirty.)
And another thing - how'd you get her to only partially roll her eyes at her age? My kids invented the "whirling dirvish opticalus" in their teens. I'd love to know your secret with kids!;) - July 30, 2009 at 3:12 PM
PS - I've been gone for a while because I've been up at 7:00 every morning for the past several weeks in order to ferry people around our area to find jobs or get to work or get groceries, etc. I'm not saying this to pat myself on the back but thought I would share it with you that there is a tremendous need for this type of asistance - so many people lost their cars while trying to save their homes, or lost both because it took so long to replace their jobs. They can fairly readily receive assistance for the basics in many cases, but there's nothing left over to obtain help with maintaining the new lifestyle once a new job is in place and all the dust settles. If anyone is interested and this is something they could do, I suggest you call your church leaders and see if they know of people in need. I would not do this for anyone who hasn't been screened by people you trust. Even when you have a heart to help you need to stay safe.
- July 30, 2009 at 3:24 PM
- MaBunny said...
uhoh - tell Joe to get out his shotgun... is he ready for his oldest girl to have boys calling and such?
good luck Dawn - and btw - she is a beautiful girl! and love the new bathing suit, lol. - July 30, 2009 at 3:45 PM
I am so not looking forward to those fast approaching years. My daughter will soon be 11 and I know it is coming closer and closer. My husband used to say we were going to send our daughter to the convent but she stopped believing it. Now we tell her that she can't date until she is married but she doesn't believe that anymore either. Two of her classmates (4th graders) hooked up this past year and when I talked to her about it the first thing out of her mouth was "they're way too young to be dating" followed closely by "it's stupid to date that young" so I think I'm safe for a little while longer.
One of my friends made it a point of displaying his very real and very sharp swords in a prominent location along with pictures of him using them when his daughter reached the dating age. It was his way of warning the young man who dated his daughter to behave themselves. - July 30, 2009 at 8:49 PM
- Stressed Out said...
As the mother of 3 daughters, I'm wondering which store will be carrying your bathing suit line so I can place my order...
I recently saw pictures of my grandma wearing one of those 1920's style bathing suits (since, funny enough, it was the 1920's) and I was wondering if I could make a pattern just based on seeing the photo, but your design is much more stylish and colorful!
Just wait. It only gets "better"... wait until that boy calls and you're stuck in a closet with the cordless phone listening on their conversation trying to hide from the other 5 kids and not let Savannah hear them through your extension and then explain why you were in the closet when she just "happens" to be walking by when she hangs up the phone and you open the door.... not that this has happened to me or anything... (I wondered why she got her own cell phone and this might explain it...)
Laugh - it beats the alternative! - July 30, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Oh My Gosh!! I am about to fall off of my chair I am laughing so hard!! That swimsuit is hilarious!!!

oh, 13 doesn't sound too bad. A boy was flirting with Jazzy at swim lessons last month. He told her, "You bathing suit smells like Downy." I am switching fabric softener!

You made me choke. On a rice cake. Covered in nutella.
LOVE the bahing suit. And good to now that I have all of nine year (or less) until I am that psycho mother (in her eyes). - July 30, 2009 at 10:58 PM
- Sunnyworld said...
I'm tellin' ya, Dawn, you have trouble coming your way! Savannah is absolutely GORGEOUS!! This is just the beginning! Been there, done that, so I know what I'm talking about. That being said, she really seems like a truly lovely young lady.
- July 30, 2009 at 11:22 PM
- Lisa said...
Wow Dawn! I haven't seen a recent picture of Savannah in abit but she sure doesn't look 13,She looks 15! and also I'd like 2 of those suits please. One for a 15yr old and one for an 8yr old who thinks she is 15.
- July 31, 2009 at 9:17 AM

Well, she's a knockout, so I can see why the boys want to say hi to her! What a great smile she has!

Oh HUGS!! I too have a 13 year old beautiful daughter. And I'd like to know where you get the new swimsuit...I want one too! I'll need 4 eventually :)

The head of National Transportation Safety Board said today that the FAA should reconsider their approval of the Dreamliner's lithium-ion battery.
Essentially, the NTSB Chairman Deborah Hersman said during a news conference, what Boeing told the FAA about the risks involving the battery have proved different in practice.
The New York Times explains that Boeing said the batteries on the new 787 planes "were likely to emit smoke less than once in every 10 million flight hours."
Once the planes started flying, however, "smoke came out of the batteries twice last month in fewer than 100,000 hours of commercial flights."
Not only that, reports the AP, but Boeing also said that any short circuit within the battery would be contained to a single cell. The NTSB found that in the case of the Japan Airlines 787 that caught fire in Boston, the "the fire started with multiple short-circuits in one of the battery's eight cells." That spread to the other seven cells and created an "uncontrolled chemical reaction known as 'thermal runaway.'"
"This investigation has demonstrated that a short-circuit in a single cell can propagate to adjacent cells and result in smoke and fire," Hersman said. "The assumptions used to certify the battery must be reconsidered."
Because of the battery issue, the 50 Dreamliners in service around world have been grounded since mid-January, causing a major headache for Boeing.
"Hersman said a review is needed of the 'special conditions' under which aviation regulators approved Boeing's use of this particular battery technology on the 787, a decision that has lately come under close scrutiny."The NTSB plans to issue an interim factual report in 30 days, though the decision on returning the plane to regular flight rests with the Federal Aviation Administration."Copyright 2016 NPR.

text: Energy | 02. November 2010 | posted by Jan Oliver Löfken Energy question of the week: What progress is the DESERTEC project making on power from the desert? Last week the industry consortium, Dii (DESERTEC industrial initiative), invited attendees to Barcelona for its first annual meeting on the DESERTEC desert power project. Top of the agenda were current developments in the plan created by DLR for the future supply to Europe of solar power from North Africa and the Middle East. But what projects are bringing us closer to this vision of future energy supply? DESERTEC idea gains support in industry and politics Without doubt, support for the desert power concept is on the increase. New members are regularly joining the industry consortium Dii, and the French parallel initiative, Transgreen, is also consolidating new partners. From mid-November, Transgreen will concentrate on the design of the power networks in North Africa, the Middle East and Southern Europe, working under the name of MEDGRID. Dii and MEDGRID's objectives will be identical and so instead of working in competition, they will want to work together on the assigned tasks. The desert power vision has political backing from Berlin and even more so from Brussels. Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger wants to expedite the deregulation of the energy market, with plans to propose to the European Energy Minister Council a single feed-in tariff for solar power from the MENA (Middle East North Africa) states. DESERTEC project: Solar power from the desert, wind power from the coast – the DESERTEC plans are based on three DLR studies backed up by satellite data. Credit: DLR. Momentum in North Africa and the Middle East Like the momentum in Europe, interest in renewable energy supplies in North Africa is also growing. Most countries between Morocco and Jordan get over 90 percent of their current power from fossil-fuelled power stations. Rising oil, gas and coal prices make investing in solar power stations and wind farms more appealing from an economic perspective. With the support of the World Bank and the African and European Investment Banks, projects to develop power plants that will output several hundred megawatts of power by the year 2020 are now taking shape. Solar-thermal power plants are also planned, as are extensive wind farms – particularly in Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt and Jordan. Dii wants to smooth the way By 2012 the consortium will present a final plan, which potential investors can also use to initiate their financially sustainable projects. To avoid excessively high expectations, Dii representatives reiterated at the annual meeting that they themselves will not be building any power plants. They see their task as laying the groundwork for the desert power project in the MENA states as well as in Europe. And so it could be years before the first kilowatt-hour of solar power finds its way to Europe – with plenty more debates to come about power security, benefits for the MENA states and economics.
