Not necessarily.When you have a de-facto monopoly, as we do now with Adobe Photoshop, it benefits no-one other than the monopolist. It stifles competition, can stifle innovation and good products (companies) are often bought in their infancy rather than be allowed to flourish and thereby pose a (financial) threat.Think RAW Shooter, NIK software etc. I know Jeff Schewe claimed in another post that Adobe bought RAWShooter to acquire one of their engineers, (that didn't work out) but nevertheless they did buy the then 'leader of the pack' and, if I remember correctly, Adobe at the time were not exactly even on the map when it came to RAW converters. Lightroom 1 was a 'freebie' to all RAW Shooter licencees.But until we all understand that a lack of alternatives is detrimental to our long term health AND are prepared to back fledgling companies by actually supporting (buying) their products, then you're putting your head in the guillotine and praying ...It's BAD business practice to be engaged in any 'negotiation' without an alternative. Pure and simple.
Decisions are made with not your best interests, but the shareholders best interests, always has been, always will be. Thinking any differently is just being naive.
And now you want to give them your money after Adobe spent 10's of millions of dollars investing in PS and other products and moved image processing forwards while others sat still. I know who I'd rather repay...the ones that brought us here, not the ones that bailed on us long ago.
Anyone remember LivePicture or know what happened to it? It was around in the mid late 90's. I became fairly profficient with it and then it dropped off the radar.It had some interesting features. All effects were layer based and brushed in. It was non destructive in that once all the edits were made you output or built to a new file. The edits were saved as a project. Quite a thing back then.
Anyone remember LivePicture or know what happened to it? It was around in the mid late 90's.
There is little point evaluating alternatives today that may not be needed until, say 4 or 5 years down the line. By then there may be more and different options available.
I was an early adopter. It's long dead. I do have a copy around here somewhere but I'd need a very old machine to run it (Pre-OS X).
But, but, you have a perpetual license, right?
But, but, you have a perpetual license, right?Just keep using it!Right.
If perpetual's income stream was not sufficient for Adobe to keep investing in CS software, then why should we think that Adobe will keep investing in the, arguably, more expensive to run CC framework if it ends up generating less cash?
I understand that this is not a fight you are interested in fighting, but it is a very deep societal shift that many people find not to be in their interest. This is really not just about a 2 fold increase of the price of a great piece of software.
That's a big IF. It is possible that perceptual income stream was sufficient, but a subscription income stream would be greater no? What company would not move to this newer model if they thought it would increase their income? Wouldn't your company do so? I would. The bottom line is, this is a cost to benefit proposition for all Adobe customers. If enough bail, it will hurt Adobe. But many of us will accept the new model just as we accept increases in prices for other products and services. We don't like the increase in fees but we recognize this is a fact of life. We sometimes pass these fees onto our own customers. This is capitalism in progress.
That is of course a valid point, perpetual licenses from dead companies are useless.
It is possible that perceptual income stream was sufficient, but a subscription income stream ...
STOP PRESSOne notable absentee, was Jeff Schewe, an early proponent of the Adobe subscription model. Reuters understands that this is because Mr Schewe has revised his views, as result of a recent trip to Italy, and taken out a lifelong subscription to 'La Dolce Vita' describing his decision as the only real and practical step towards increased productivity.
Not quite. Perpetual licenses of "dead" software have gotten me through some vexing file migration and work productivity issues on more than one occasion. It's not just about companies going belly up. It's about companies abandoning software while failing to give customers appropriate migration tools and time frame. For example, Adobe bought Aldus Pagemaker, then canned it when Adobe Management decided to move all those Pagemaker customers over to Indesign. But the Adobe-supplied migration software to migrate Pagemaker files to Indesign files was half-baked, so having a perpetual license on Pagemaker running on a personally archived hardware/software platform for a few years longer than what Adobe thought was "reasonable" bought me more time to deal with the manual editing/migration problems associated with my obsolete Pagemaker files. Similarly, I kept using a functional copy of Live Picture well past the point where it had "died" at the hands of bad corporate management decisions. Why? Because it took a few more years past that point before the computer hardware I could afford to purchase could actually handle my big high-res scans in PS that had always been effortless in Live Picture. PS and my computer hardware did eventually catch up and overtake Live Picture in terms of ease of use and ability to handle large files, but there was a three year transition/migration window where my obsolete perpetual license for Live Picture 2.6 was still kicking PS butt before I finally made the total transition to PS.

I have been asked by a number of county residents to provide my opinions on the current gun control and gun violence issues at the forefront, certainly in Colorado, if not the nation.
First and foremost, I took an Oath of Office, sworn before God and those people present, in a public ceremony, to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the laws of and Constitution of the State of Colorado. I have taken this oath four times after having been lawfully elected by the citizens of Morgan County, as your County Sheriff.
Next to my vows when I married my beautiful wife, there is no stronger binding obligation than my Oath of Office as County Sheriff. And I do not need to take any other organization's oath or pledge, nor be a member of any other association to "affirm" my Oath or be some kind of "bona fide" Sheriff.
I have served the citizens of Morgan County since 1977, both as a peace officer and a paramedic. Not all would agree with every decision I have made and I have certainly made my share of errors and wrong decisions in my career. However the people of this County have elected me as their Sheriff and then re-elected me three more times. My bias aside, I think the People of this County are solid, down to earth Godly folks who seem to be a lot more in touch with reality than other parts of our country. They have kept me in Office because apparently they trust me in the decisions I, and my very capable staff, do every day.
I have worn a badge for some 33 years now and experienced the changes and trends in criminal activity in Morgan County and northeast Colorado. I have received specialized training in violent crime and offenders from some of the top names in the business and have spent many hours talking to offenders learning why they do what they do and what makes them tick. Some of them have left physical scars on me and I admittedly have left my share on them.
Though we are fortunate to live in a county without a lot of serious violent crime, I have responded to or investigated more shootings, stabbings, sexual assaults and serious physical assaults than I can remember, and now direct my staff as they do the same. All of my experiences have allowed me to experience first-hand what we as a society, especially here in Morgan County, face today. I am not endorsed by the courts as an expert in any topic, but I feel I can truthfully speak as to violence, at least in the area I live.
So agree with what I write below, or not, it is not politics, it is how I feel, and where I stand, as your County Sheriff.
1. Gun VIOLENCE will not be solved through more laws, banning of firearms, whether they be current legal assault rifles, or the banning of high-capacity magazines.
2. There ARE adequate laws on the books which cover the ILLEGAL carrying, use or possession of firearms.
3. Either make schools much more secure or allow school staff, or other designated people, to carry firearms to protect their children and teachers. I prefer a mixture of both.
4. Those who MURDER, especially where a child, the elderly or the defenseless are involved, or there is a sexual component to the murder, should be put to death, PERIOD.
I could speak for hours and write pages as to why WE have violence in America, and why it seems to flourish, so I won't even go there. Erosion of the family unit, becoming too much of a permissive society, and perception of entitlement of one who lives in a free society ("I have the RIGHT to do…." most anything they want, right or wrong). We reap what we sow.
As I mentioned above, our society also seems to have reached the point where the blatant disregarding of rules and laws (yes, even some of those which seem petty), means nothing because punishments don't fit the crime. Law enforcement arrests/charges offenders for the unlawful use, possession and carrying of legal firearms, however these offenses end up being bargaining chips and offenders seem to be rarely held accountable for weapons violations.
We fail to punish adequately those who do the most harm to our citizens, especially our children and seniors. The deterrence of the law for many offenders is thus, lost.
I truly feel the restrictions against firearms, or banning them outright, only serves the criminal element and holds a law abiding society hostage.
I will admit I have mixed feelings about expanding background checks. However this I am certain of … criminals and those who wish to obtain a gun for ill intent, will, and DO, despite ANY law on the books. That is why they are criminals.
However, there DOES need to be a better system of identifying people with SIGNIFICANT mental health issues or concerns. Mental health is a medical issue when it comes to confidentiality but there can be reasonable legislation which will allow the identification of people who pose a risk to the public and DENY them a legal attempt to purchase a firearm.
There a MANY people out there we (law enforcement and the general public) know are "ticking time bombs" who have never had a serious criminal arrest record or involuntary mental health holds, which would show up as a disqualifier when buying a gun. I think we in law enforcement are very much in touch with who those people are, and there should be a system which allows us to make an entry or referral to reasonably prevent a transaction to someone who should not have a gun, without infringing on a person's civil liberties.
Every educator, school board member, or parent who cares about their children in school, should read "Terror at Beslan: A Russian Tragedy with Lessons for America's Schools. I am not into hype and conspiracies, but I have learned enough from those "in the know", that terror lurks for Americans, right here at home – terror which is above and beyond Columbine, Jonesboro, Virginia Tech, Aurora, and Sandy Hook.
We as law enforcement and your local schools have taken strides to evaluate the physical security and procedures within our halls of education to protect our babies when we send them from our nests to educate them beyond what we as parents and grand-parents teach. But it's not enough.
We as Americans must realize the vast oceans no longer protect us from an evil we have only read about, but not experienced first-hand. As much as we want our schools to be fixtures of hope and community in our towns and neighborhoods, we need to start looking to make our schools more resistant to those who have, and will continue, to target our babies.
State law should be changed to allow school boards to make their own decisions about whether to, or not, allow firearms (with a concealed carry permit or by persons authorized/designated) on their property, in their buildings, and on their busses. We will not stop violence overnight but in the past 50-some years, I am not aware of ANY person who has been killed by fire in a school. Yet we have fire extinguishers throughout the school.
While I don't advocate a "break in case of emergency" case containing a Glock above every fire extinguisher in every school hallway, we are foolish and irresponsible to not allow willing, responsible, and trained persons to provide ready defense of a school. For God's sake, child molesters and drug dealers getting their constitutional due process within the Morgan County Justice Center have better protection than our kids!!!
And when asked, the Morgan County Sheriff's Office will provide training to those people your child's school chooses to protect them. I trust that training when my deputies "have my back" and I will pledge that training will ensure others will do the same for your kids.
I will end with that. I have probably spoken more than most people want to hear and some will say I didn't say enough about what they want to hear. And I have yet to speak my mind about how we as a community can make some changes right here at home, but that is a topic for later.
Our country and our society are very divided over the above issues. I have more questions than I will ever have answers. But I pray those who will make these important decisions which affect us, do so with the best interests of all of the People they serve, not just the vocal few.
God Bless America – He has, but we need it now more than ever.

For some bizarre reason, I seem to attract more than anyone's fair share of random inquiries, peculiar requests for assistance and other assorted mystery messages on a regular basis. One such recent item that caught my attention was the following snippet from a person presumably running some sort of "recruiting" service…
As you will notice, this was a generic message sent to my email but not addressed to me by name – probably because I was only one of the thousand or so recipients. To protect the privacy of the subjects' identities, I've removed all gender references, mentions of the "candidate's" and sender's name and their current titles. The remainder of the content was left intact from the original unsolicited correspondence.
Good afternoon,
A friend of mine is seeking a high level VP or C- Level Executive position in the {geographic region} area. I have attached his/her resume for your review. Person's contact information is on his/her resume and I have an Executive Bio if you're interested in that as well. I am reaching out to you because we share a connection through LinkedIn. Person is currently working as a CXO so please respect his/her privacy and do not contact his/her current employer without speaking with him/her first.
Please feel free to reach out to PERSON if you have any positions he/she may be a good match for.
Where do I start with how unlikely I am to have any reaction aside from ridicule for this pimptastic placement project?
First, I get it that swaths of unimaginative types seem to be under the impression that blasting out their blanket broadcasts is groovy and swell with the connected age. Except, that lazy method is inevitably detected and intercepted by those that know plenty of people personally and professionally and don't bother shooting their stuff to strangers. Further, they don't look too kindly on those that sully their entire occupation with their sloth-like ways.
Second, for someone concerned about their "friend's" privacy, isn't it ironic to be mass distributing their CXO friend's resume to countless people that have zero interest in who this person is, where they work and why they may be seeking a new "high" level VP or C level executive (with a capital L and E) position?
Next, is "sharing a LinkedIn connection" a compelling enough reason to "reach out" to someone who at the time of this writing has the following network statistics?
1,631Connections link you to 13,950,729+ professionals
118,766New people in your Network since August 29
Finally, if someone does in fact care about helping their "friend" find a position he/she may be a good match for, why on Earth would they enable them to suffer the professional embarrassment and likely extended period of zero positive response caused by an atrocious (dys)-functional first page of a (way too long) pretentious and pompous three page semi-chronological, yet sloppily prepared resume?

So true, funny, and yet not funny! I get this a lot in physician recruitment and it amazes me. Much like politics these days, people tend to trust what they believe to be true rather than the actual facts and run with it blindly. Not only does this candidate and their "helper" acting like a recruiter not know how badly their privacy is being breached already, but this sort of resume blasting will hurt the potential candidate in the long run.
Awesome, Sandra. I'm copy/pasting that into Evernote for repurposing. All I need to do is replace the Texas drawl with a few smartass Mid-Atlantic zingers. You just saved me a ton of time.
Actually, I usually try to reply with a tactful but unambiguous note that this is not a high-percentage play. Maybe I shouldn't be wasting my time. But maybe it's causing a few people to re-think their job search strategy and focus on better tactics.
I receive those emails all the time. Somehow my name got on a list which I cannot track down so that I can have myself deleted. Our first rule is that no resume ever leaves here without the candidate's express permission. This is done to protect the candidate's identity as well as to determine their interest in a particular assignment. Sending out a mass email with someone's resume and all their information not only breaks this rule, but, at least form me, is totally abhorrent; among other things. It not only increases the chance that if they are working their search will be found out but if they are not working, it can fall into the wrong hands at a company and it may preclude the candidate from getting a real job. (You know the comment, "we already have their resume.")
Paul, I also abide by that cardinal rule that no resume or identifiable information about a candidate is ever distributed without that person's express advance approval. In fact, over the past week, I've had 2 instances where a candidate's information was in a client's DB and both times, the candidates were confounded and had no idea how it had happened. Of course I had established during our first conversation that they had had no interaction with this client. Fortunately, the client looked at each case individually and ruled in my favor (helped to have a strong advocate in my hiring manager), but still annoying. In one case, it seems clear that a recruiter submitted a person w/o that person's approval or even knowledge. A bit off-topic, but your comment made me think of this. Chris.
I have a love - hate relationship with these fools. I love them because they make me and people like me, who are ethical and professional recruiters, look brilliant. I hate them because they make it harder for each and every one of us to keep a good reputation and they damage the appearance of the profession. Sometimes I wish we were able to 'strike people off' and prevent them from practicing.
Sandra, I need a Canadian version of that. Brilliant!

It's the part of gravity that causes space to expand so that very distant things accelerate away from each other.
What's new is that it's been measured. Nobody expected it not to be zero, but it's not; and now we can't just pretend it's not there any more. And this is what the winners of the Prize – Perlmutter, Riess and Schmidt – with the help of many, many others, have given to the world.
And yes, lots of research needs to be done to check that it's not this kind of field or that kind of modification or that it's doing this or that crazy thing, which is very important and great fun for the scientific community... but as it stands, there's no evidence for anything beyond good old gravity, doing its good old Einsteinian thing.
And if it turns out that it is as simple as that, then it means the fate of the universe is that clusters of galaxies will separate over time until they're no longer visible to each other.
I (try to) study this stuff, so it's fascinating to me. The details of the logic of the theories can be daunting, but I like to think that the real substance of ideas like this are accessible to anyone. But perhaps this belief just helps me feel less isolated from those not mad enough to dive into it all in detail.

Moving Forward With Metastatic Cancer
Tomorrow. Next week. Next year. With today's personalized treatment approaches and breakthroughs just round the bend, you have every reason to look to the future.
Relax. Take a deep breath. Give yourself a chance to process the news. After all, if your doctor has told you that your cancer has metastasized—that tumor cells have traveled to another part (or parts) of your body—it's normal to feel overwhelmed.
But you'll soon see that life goes on—even with metastatic cancer. Remember: Although it may not be curable, metastatic cancer is treatable, and you can live many years with the disease, just as you might with a chronic condition such as heart disease. So that special birthday, your child's wedding, the birth of your grandchild...don't count it out.
You may also find comfort in the knowledge that you are not alone in this fight. Your healthcare team understands your unique needs, and with the many effective treatment options now available, they are up to the challenge. They know your symptoms can be quite different from those experienced by people with early-stage cancer, and that your treatment goals are different, too.
Of course, those closest to you will offer their love and support. But don't forget all the other people out there, just like you, who are coping with the challenges of metastatic cancer—people who "get" you and who are available to support, encourage and applaud you, in support groups, on blogs, on message boards and on this site.
No doubt, your thoughts and emotions will take on new weight as you consider your treatment options and what they'll mean to you and your loved ones. To stay in a place of "calm," try focusing on what you can do now…today. Learn about the therapies that can work best for you. Ask questions. And rely on your oncology care team for the honest answers you deserve. But take one day at a time.
We've asked the experts—doctors, other healthcare professionals and people with metastatic cancer—to shed light on the issues that may concern you most.
Whatever your personal style is in fighting your disease—fierce warrior, sound strategist, savvy manager—this site will be a source of practical information, everyday inspiration and hope.

Cisco, Google sign patent agreement
Google Inc. entered into a patent cross-licensing agreement with Cisco Systems Inc., the Internet search giant's second such deal in as many months.
Google's shares were up one percent at $1,145 in premarket trading on Tuesday.
The "long-term" agreement is an effective way to help prevent unnecessary patent lawsuits, the companies said in a statement.
"We're pleased to enter into this cross-license, and we welcome discussions with any company interested in a similar arrangement," said Allen Lo, Google's deputy general counsel for patents.
Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
Google last month reached a global patent agreement with Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd.
Most of the large technology companies, including Apple Inc., are involved in multiple patent litigations against each other, with the majority involving smartphone patents.

New KDE Telepathy version features audio and video calls
After four months full of work, the KDE Telepathy team is back with another release. Version 0.4 of the Instant Messaging suite for KDE Workspaces now supports making audio and video calls right from the desktop. It also adds the ability to browse chat logs. We focused strongly on stability and performance, so most of the improvements are "under the hood". In addition, work was started to have a Kopete log importer in the next release.
User Interface
Plasma Integration Tech Preview
Groundwork was done for further Plasma integration, so tech previews of new Plasma components can be tested:
Even though these Plasma components are alpha, they are integrated with the release and installed by default. We encourage you to try them out. Please report bugs, ideas and suggestions at the KDE Telepathy Bugzilla or our new forum, where we continuously watch and provide support.
Opportunity to Contribute
Our wiki pages are being revised to create a central place for basic support and guidance for common tasks. If you are a KDE Telepathy user and you'd like to help the project in ways other than coding, this is your chance. Visit the #kde-telepathy IRC channel on Freenode.net or email our mailing list. We are always very happy to welcome any contributors, so if you feel like joining a KDE project, we'll get you started.
Getting KDE Telepathy
You can grab the sources for KDE Telepathy 0.4 from KDE's FTP network.
Thanks for all the continued support!
Nice to see the progress. Hope it soon will be a full Kopete replacement and more. It appears like there is not much missing.
By Mark at Mon, 2012/06/11 - 2:20pm
Great !
thats great,I wish to see all the KDE tightly integrated into plasma to get a solid desktop and consistancy.

1. Ivan Cukic, where are your rotten Telepathy patches for Lancelot? Now it's time for them, but it seems Lancelot for KDE 4.9 won't compile with them. Can you tweak and finally release a Telepathy-KDE ready Lancelot?
2. Nepomuk integration. It's in the backburner, but how much we will have to wait for it? ;)
By Ernesto Manríquez at Mon, 2012/06/11 - 6:14pm
Looks ready for public use as far as I'm concerned. If it does all the things that google chat does, then it's good enough.
Or is there something I didn't notice?
By Anonymous at Mon, 2012/06/11 - 6:55pm
Wow you are heading towards the right position. It is very integrated and easy to use and the new plasmoid for quick chat is very handy. It is somehow rough for now but still very usable.
By Anonymous at Mon, 2012/06/11 - 9:29pm
Sound notifications
Sound notifications are working just fine without the chat plasmoid. When using chat plasmoid though they are disabled and can't be enabled. I asked in #kde-telepathy and it was said that this aspect was not taken into account and I was prompted to open a bug report which I did.

What's the quality of audio/video compared to skype?
By Anonymous at Tue, 2012/06/12 - 1:59pm
Given that it's xmpp only at the moment, the (current) answer to your question probably is largely "it depends on who your xmpp provider is". When SIP (which is more P2P, like Skype) is more supported, I would guess the bottle necks will move more towards your bandwidth and client software (ie telepathy).
I am not an expert on either xmpp / sip :)

Why don't you guys gather and make a fundraising effort to backup open-sourced cross-platform (at least linux and android) voip solution? There is such a mess out there. It would be good to have an alternative to skype. Especially when skype is going to be adware.

why so many plasmoids?
there is a "quick chat", a "contact list", an "IM contact" and an "IM presence" plasmoid.
Are there plans to make one flexible plasmoid out of them all? Currently when you move the contact list into a panel it's not usable, the quick chat is invisible until needed and the status opens the the contact list window.
A possible combined "telepathy plasmoid" could look like the "presence plasmoid" when moved into a panel, unfold into the "contact list plasmoid" and display the "quickchat" when needed.
Wouldn't that be more convenient than having 4 single purpose plasmoids?
By Anonymous at Tue, 2012/06/12 - 2:21pm
I'd prefer if they were kept separate
I agree with the component-based approach and I think you should stick with it because it makes it easy to change out components, make changes to one without affecting the others and just keep things clean on a coding/design level.
That said a container plasmoid that brings everything together would not hurt.
By Anonymous at Fri, 2012/07/13 - 9:36am
quick chat
I've just updated to 0.4, added a quick-chat plasmoid, and it worked properly, display a message notification and receiving/sending messages.
But then I clicked on the baloon icon to see what it is for, and the conversation was moved to a normal window. The problem is that I can't get the plasmoid to work again now. When I get messages, I receive the same old notifications and I'm able to chat only via window. I tried reinstalling the component, but quick-chat plasmoid seems to be dead.
What can I do?
By Anonymous at Sun, 2012/07/15 - 12:29am
trouble shooting works best in forums
"What can I do?"
Go to forum.kde.org.
Specifically the KDE Telepathy section
That works better than this news channel for dealing with problems. It's more useful for other users too.
By Carl Symons at Sun, 2012/07/15 - 1:39am
contact list
Also, it would be nice to have a filter box in the contact list plasmoid, as well as some options like sorting contacts. Finally, it could open the conversation with the quick chat plasmoid instead of with the normal window if it is present at the workspace, or at least offer the option.
By Anonymous at Sun, 2012/07/15 - 12:32am
Could you possibly help me running it?
I have openSUSE 12.2 with the unstable whatever telepathy repository which installs 0.5, not the git stuff.
I've added "a bunch" of ktp and telepathy packages (I don't get why they don't pull all of the necessary stuff to behave correctly as dependencies) and I can run the contact list both as plasmoid and as "application" but when I click some name I get Handler no longer available for org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Error
I have no idea what I may be missing and there's no meta package. I haven't installed the file transfer, vnc and ssh stuff but the rest should be there (and it would had made sense if text-ui brought in what it needed or something, I suppose.)
Feel free to tell me a zypper install line for all the packages I should have or something such.
And mail me =P

Sarah Hyland left a "Modern Family" party abruptly after a male fan groped her while posing for a photo with the star.
Hyland became visibly emotional and teared up after the alleged fan grabbed her breast outside of the Sebel Pier One in Sydney.
According to eyewitnesses, Hyland immediately pushed the man in question away and screamed, "Don't touch me there!" before her security guards intervened.
U.S. & World
Police said in a statement on Friday that a 29-year-old man had been charged following the alleged indecent assault.
NEWS: Did Rihanna diss Sarah Hyland?
The brunette actress took to Twitter to vent her frustrations saying, "Sorry to all the fans outside the #quantas event that I didn't get to say hi to but I had to leave due to an inappropriate touch by a fan."
Her boyfriend, Matt Prokop, added his two cents regarding the scary ordeal, tweeting, "To the a--hole who assaulted Sarah tonight I hope to God you don't see next week.
"All Sarah wanted to do tonight was say hit to he girls who were waiting outside one douche can ruin it for everyone. Goodnight."
The 23-year-old actress was joined by costars of her hit show at the Quantas hosted event, including Ariel Winter, Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Ty Burrell, and Eric Stonestreet.

Students in Spain soak up history, art and language
The city of Toledo, Spain, became a summertime classroom for 33 Princeton undergraduates who spent a month there studying the Spanish language and immersing themselves in the local culture.
The Princeton in Spain program, in its inaugural year, offered the students an opportunity to learn Spanish intensively, live with local families and volunteer with elementary school students during the month of June. And it gave the students the chance to see the world in a new way.
"The program challenged me to see beyond my own relatively limited worldview in order to understand Spanish culture's distinct viewpoints and traditions, something I never could have achieved from the comparative comfort of a Princeton classroom," said Kevin McGinnis, a member of the class of 2011.
Students who were less experienced in Spanish spent three hours a day in language instruction, followed by a class in Spanish culture. More advanced students took classes in culture and society as well as in Spanish art. Classes were held at Fundación Ortega y Gasset, a Toledo school, and were taught by instructors from the school as well as Princeton faculty members.
Once a week classes were held at either the Museo del Prado or the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid -- half an hour from Toledo by high-speed train -- to give students "direct exposure to the masterpieces they were learning about in class," said Antonio Calvo, a senior lecturer in Spanish and Portuguese languages and cultures at Princeton, who directed the program. The students, who are rising sophomores and juniors, also traveled to Madrid and Segovia, where they visited historic sites.
"This was a bunch of curious and brave students eager to push further their knowledge of Spanish culture," Calvo said.
Marieugenia Cardenas, a member of the class of 2011, learned that "sometimes experiences outside of the classroom are more enlightening than those inside of the classroom," she said. "Professor Calvo would always encourage us to go out and get a real look at things, as well as encouraging a sense of curiosity."
For Joseph Stanger, a member of the class of 2011, the experience demonstrated the benefits of exploration. "After getting lost a few times on the windy streets, I began to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the ancient city," he said.
Members of the group taught English to local elementary school students, which afforded them a "chance to interact with younger students who were always excited to see us and as enthusiastic to learn about the United States as I was to learn about their country," said McGinnis.
Many found their stays with a local family to be the trip's highlight. For John Preston, a member of the class of 2011, living with a Spanish family gave him "firsthand experience with Spanish culture" and demonstrated to him "how you can communicate with a limited vocabulary," he said. Students were required to be home with their families for breakfast and dinner, exposing them to conversations about food, culture and the Spanish devotion to soccer.
For Scott Baxter, a member of the class of 2011, the most rewarding part of the trip was interacting with his Spanish peers. "These conversations were great practice, and they taught me the most about contemporary culture in the city," he said.

The PPV featured a 30 minute pre-game show, featuring promos from Finlay, Hacksaw Duggan and The Rock N' Roll Express. The promos and the presentation were old school as you can expect but also entertaining.
Kevin Nash cut a promo on The Rock N' Roll Express, referencing what they did to "Marvin" (promoter Marvin Ward, who was Nash's original partner but was attacked and laid out by the Express) but never explained who Marvin was or why a new viewer should care who about it.
They replayed the promos three times.
Former WCW announcer Chris Cruise welcomed everyone to the PPV stating that "AWE is made in America." He was flanked by Dutch Mantel and Larry Zbyszko. They noted that their first match was a bout that was originally scheduled in 1999 but would take place tonight - Dreamer vs. Funk. Zbyszko said that time only fears the pyramids and Terry Funk. They talked about the main event.
Tommy Dreamer vs. Terry Funk - No DQ
Chris Cruise kept referring to Funk as a former NWA champion. I guess the fact these guys were both former ECW champions as well? The announcer claimed that Funk and Dreamer didn't want to wait, which is why this is opening the show.
Funk called for the mic as the bell rang. He was playing heel. Funk said that he wanted to tell Tommy and the fans something. He said that he got a physical from a doctor who told Funk he was too old to wrestle but Terry wanted to come here for Virginia and for Dreamer. He said Dreamer said he's been Funk's friend since he had pimples and greasy hair. Funk said he might be 105 but they say the older you get, the meaner you get and he struck Dreamer with the mic.
Funk tossed Dreamer to the floor and worked him over with right hands, then tossed him into the barricade. Dreamer nailed Funk with a fan's soda and nailed several right hands. He slammed Funk into the ringside table, flipping it over. He tried to whip Funk into the table but Funk reversed it and Dreamer took a flip bump into it on the floor.
Funk started throwing chairs at Dreamer and gave him an atomic drop on the railing. He then chopped Dreamer off the railing. Funk tossed Dreamer back into the ringFunk began peppering him with headbutts. He hurt his own head doing it. He started nailing headbutts on all fours. Dreamer ended up on the outside. Funk followed and tossed Dreamer into the railing again.
Funk argued with fans, allowing Dreamer to get a drink and spray it into Funk's eyes. Several chairs were tossed into the ring. Dreamer tried to send Funk into a chair which fell over. Dreamer fixed it and rebounded off the ropes but it fell again. Dreamer took a step toehold into the chair. Funk began beating Dreamer's leg with the chair. Funk locked on the spinning toehold. Dreamer responded by nailing him in the head with a chair.
Dreamer nailed Funk again and small packaged Funk, pinning him. It looked like the referee screwed up the call.
Your winner, Tommy Dreamer!
Funk attacked the referee and threw him across the ring hard.
Funk threw a chair at Dreamer and walked off.
It was an OK brawl but the finish sucked. Really short and disappointing given all the history involved.
Chris Graham interviewed Jamin Olivencia. He was asked what he had in store for Sonjay Dutt. He said that he beat Dutt the first time they wrestled and Dutt has to cry and whined about it. He said he used to be a loser and complained too but one day, he woke up and realized who he was and after that day, he became a winner. Olivencia cut a good promo. He said that if Dutt wants him tonight, good, he wants that too. Graham called him on cheating last time and he said, forget about the past. He said Dutt is going to wish he was Olivencia tonight. He promised to have the whole world notice and that he would change the atmosphere at any given moment.
They went to Bill Apter, interviewing Sonjay Dutt for his response. He said that Jamin figured it all out and said that he wants to be a liar and a cheater too. He said that he's going to show Jamin that he's fine being him and on the biggest stage of them all, Jamin better have his "A" game ready. Dutt said that he's the best high flying wrestler in the world.
Sonjay Dutt vs. Jamin Olivencia
They had some nice back and forth wrestling early. Olivencia has a really good swagger to his work. Olivencia escaped a side headlock and tackled Dutt. Dutt slapped him and drilled him with a dropkick. He nailed another and Olivencia went to the floor. Dutt went for a dive but Olivencia ran out of the way. He hit the ring and nailed a flying punch on Dutt.
Olivencia worked over Dutt in the corner but Dutt fired back. He went for a springboard move but Dutt's legs were grabbed and he was slammed down hard to the matt. Olivencia covered him for a two count. He worked over Dutt with shots to the chest and the punch.
Olivencia suplexed Dutt and nailed a running splash for another two count. Olivencia scored several two counts but couldn't get the job done. Olivencia slammed his hands down on the mat in frustration. He grabbed a side chinlock. Dutt fought his way out and nailed a rana, sending Jamin to the outside. Dutt hit a springboard moonsault off the top rope to the floor.
Dutt rolled him back in and covered Jamin for a two count. Jamin cut him off and nailed a running splash in the corner. He went for another but was hit with a Yakuza kick. Dutt hit a springboard splash but Olivencia kicked up at the last second.
Olivencia missed a charge in the corner. Dutt nailed a kick using the ropes for leverage. They went back and forth with strikes. Olivencia went for a back suplex and Dutt slipped out, almost being dumped on his head in the process. He struck Olivencia and both were down and nearly counted out by the referee.
They went back and forth with forearm strikes. Dutt went for a sunset flip but Olivencia grabbed the ropes. The ref kicked his arms off and Dutt scored a two count. Olivencia collided with the referee and hit his finisher, the O Drop, scoring the pin.
Your winner, Jamin Olivencia!
Good back and forth athletic match. Nice showing from each man.
Zbyszko and Mantel tried to tell Olivencia that Cruise was burying him.
They showed some replays after the match.
Some guy named Hank came out and said he wanted to watch Perry Saturn. He buried Saturn. They later started calling him Rick Garrison and stated he was the AWE President.
CW Anderson was interviewed backstage. He said that every PPV he's on, he has the match of the night and he's going to do the same thing. Anderson was told the pressure was on him and he asked how that could be since Saturn hasn't been in the business for the last nine years. Anderson said when he was done, Saturn can go back to living under the bridge he was under all this time.
Perry Saturn was interviewed. Saturn acted like he didn't know who Anderson was and joked around. He said that he was going to be serious for a minute. He said that Anderson could kick his ass, "but he's going to have to."
CW Anderson vs. Saturn
Saturn was way heavier than he ever was during his legitimate career. He was running around like a fat Rick Steiner early. Saturn shoulderblocked Anderson and peppered him with punches in the corner. He nailed a T-Bone Tazplex on Anderson.
He nailed a head scissors, sending Anderson to the apron. Saturn nailed him with a punch off the apron. Anderson grabbed a chair. Saturn went for a dive but Anderson cracked him in face with the chair. The shot cut Saturn open hardway above the eye. Anderson brought him back into the ring and nailed a big right hand. He ran Saturn shoulder-first into the turnbuckles.
Anderson began working over Saturn's arm, focusing on it. Saturn fired back but Anderson went right back after the shoulder. He grabbed an armbar and cinched it. Anderson nailed him with a big right and covered him for a two count. Anderson tossed him to the outside again. Anderson used the ringpost to snap Saturn's arm.
Anderson snapped Saturn's arm over the ropes. Saturn went to the floor, hurt but returned to the ring. Anderson grabbed the arm and went back to work on it. Saturn fought back and nailed several right hands. Anderson cut him off with a right his own and covered Saturn for a two count, then went back to the armbar again.
Anderson kept beating on Saturn's armbar. Saturn went to the floor. Anderson slammed Saturn's arm on the stairs. They must have been told not to say ECW on the broadcast as there were some clumsy references to "wrestlers who changed the business" a few times by Chris Cruise. Saturn made a comeback (including blowing right through Anderson's superkick) with a series of rights and a clothesline. He covered Anderson for a two count.
Anderson came back with the spinebuster for a two count. Anderson went for a backdrop but Saturn sunset flipped him into a lousy looking finish.
Your winner, Perry Saturn!
They tried to paint this as some great comeback for Saturn, but the reality was that Anderson carried the entire thing while Saturn showed up in pretty bad shape and his timing was waaaay off even for a pretty basic match. They were probably going too long too. Anderson's work was good.
Chris Graham interviewed Mohammad Akbar. They showed a promo from a previous show where he cut a pretty good promo saying he was made rich by America's addiction to Oil. He then cut a good promo saying America plundered and rape the natural resources of the Middle East for America's benefits and that ends tonight. He said his name means Mohammad the Great and he is the champion of his people's cause. He said AWE is his platform to change things. He said he was going to take out Hacksaw Duggan. He promised we'd all know Akbar means the great.
Bill Apter interviewed Hacksaw Duggan. He said he was on an Akbar hunt. He said he's not an old timer sitting around feeding the ducks. He said he's been fighting tough guys from all over the world. He said when he comes out, there will be thousand of people chanting "USA." He said that he's going to be lacing up his boots and people will be chanting. He said fans ask him if he ever gets tired of fighting in the ring. He said he never does because it's his life's work. He said he was going to kick open the doors and kick Akbar's head in. Duggan can still cut a hell of a promo.

Aguardiente Parcero
We are a group in Miami interested in launching a Latin Liquor for national distribution.
Latin American Market in the USA. It is an existing market that consumes imported product like the one we are going to produce in the USA
The brand is "PARCERO". The type of liquor is Aguardiente. (like saying rum or vodka) . You would say " Aguardiente Parcero" Its is made with Sugar Cane alcohol, is 29% proof, and will be made and bottled in Miami Florida. The Logo work has to go on a label that is 6" in height and 4" across. The main background should be the colors of the Colombian Flag (Yellow, Blue and Red) It will need to be bold and eye catching since it is going to compete for attention on store shelves. Maybe make it look like a waving flag with the letters floating in front. The other design Idea to consider is lettering and fonts / borders that remind the buyers of Spanish Colonial signs as those seen in Cartagena, Colombia. I have included some files to help give perspective but feel free to incorporate other images etc. The objective is to identify the product clearly to the Ethic Colombian market as a "Colombian Product"

Silvias necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 21 diseños de 8 diseñadores freelance.
Episode39.it - http://www.episode39.it
Brad&k Productions is an italian startup that is publishing two different websites: one devoted to movies (http://www.screenweek.it) the other to Tv Shows (http://www.episode39.it).
On Episode39.it, after one year of work on database (Shows, Seasons, Episodes, Stars, Characters) and service (tv schedule), we want to redesign our core page, the episode page you can see as an example here http://www.episode39.it/shows/20-Dr…sodes/8560 to involve more our readers with the site interaction opportunities.
Now in the head of the page you have the main data about the Show and Season and then the title of the Episode, with schedule info, director name and with a plot you can hide.
Then you can give a rate to episode and using the "Personaggi" tab also rate all the character performance in the episode. All rates are then visible in the "Grafico" tab for the show, and in the same tab located in the character page fot the character itself.
In the "Link" tab people can "do something like digg" links to interesting content connected to the episode. In the "Commenti" tab people can comment about the episode, these comments are then gathered at season/show level.
The "Compra episodio" tab is devoted to e-commerce links, while the "Gallery" ... is pictures.
Actually, for us due to design errors, the site is working pretty goog for people looking for information about tv shows and episode scheduling, of them less than the 10% rate the episode, less than 5% rate character performance and less than 1% is involved in comments and other forms of real interaction.
We want the desing to evolve remaining attractive for people looking for information, but absolutely engaging for tv show fans that here can find a way to trend their favourite shows/character, post/find resources on the show, and discuss with other fan using comments.
We want to increase the target of active users.
The Episode page is the core of Episode39.it, so, if you think that it is useful, you can also change how the content/services is distributed using the sidebar and the page header even if we prefer to keep these for cross-sectional services.
We will also like to move to a fixed width page, and, if necessary, eliminate the small icons used for rate/prefer if the design suggest something better, but we want to keep the logo palette.
The design we are looking for must be able to highlight everything that is hot around the Episode: recent comments, more interesting links, trends in episode/characters rates from one episode to the other and, from these highlights focus access to more detailed information and interaction.
One of the problem we have with the episode page on our site is that we have a lot of content opportunities in the tabs (link, comment, Grafico, Gallery) but only one of them selected when you arrive on the page (in this case we see Personaggi selected) so we are very interested in adding a tab, or adding something to this tab, that hilights some of this content directly on the landing page, can you provide some ideas for that.

Roberto Luongo's 'great run' in Vancouver over … as is Canucks'
'I've got nothing but good things to say towards the fans who were really supportive, especially towards the end,' says netminder who took club to 2011 Stanley Cup Final
Roberto Luongo talks to reporters in Phoenix, Ariz., on Tuesday. The Vancouver Canucks traded their star goalie back to the Florida Panthers on Tuesday, nearly eight years after he arrived on Canada's West Coast from the Sunshine State.
Photograph by: Twitter @vancanucks , .
PHOENIX — Nearly eight years after he arrived in Vancouver, goalie Roberto Luongo made a U-turn home Tuesday and the trade that sent him back to the Florida Panthers was nearly as unexpected as the one that brought him to the Canucks in 2006.
And as surely as former general manager Dave Nonis's acquisition of Luongo was the greatest catalyst in the Canucks' rise to excellence in the National Hockey League, current GM Mike Gillis's trade on Tuesday is proof the team is at the end of its cycle.
With the NHL trading deadline at noon Wednesday (Pacific time), Gillis still has plenty of pieces in play. The most important and valuable is centre Ryan Kesler, believed to be pursued by the Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers among other teams.
Any trade Gillis makes will probably make the Canucks younger and perhaps deeper in the long run.
But the Canucks, 1-8-1 in 10 games before facing the Phoenix Coyotes Tuesday evening, look likely to miss the Stanley Cup tournament for the first time since 2008.
The Canucks' trades involving Luongo represent the book ends on the most successful period in franchise history — a seven-year run that included six division titles, two Presidents' Trophies as the NHL's regular-season champion and a 2011 appearance in the Stanley Cup Final.
"This organization brought my game to another level," Luongo, 34, said Tuesday, and he had the same effect on the Canucks.

He was traded to Florida for goalie prospect Jacob Markstrom and centre Shawn Mattias. But a key benefit for the Canucks is that they've shed the final eight years of Luongo's 12-year, $64-million US contract.
He returns to the Panthers, who under previous management and ownership dealt him to Vancouver in June 2006 for a package of players that included Todd Bertuzzi. Luongo is going home. He lives in the Miami area in the off-season and his wife, Gina, is from there.
But Tuesday's trade still "stunned" him, and ended a goaltending Canucks soap opera that began 23 months ago when Luongo lost his starting job to Cory Schneider.
"There was a lot of stuff that happened … but I've got nothing but good things to say towards the fans who were really supportive, especially towards the end," Luongo told reporters as he left the Canucks' hotel here. "It did not go unnoticed, for sure. All in all, it was a great run."
So he bears no hard feelings towards Gillis and the Canucks?
"No, it's tough for everybody," Luongo said. "Everybody involved in this process had some tough decisions to make. I can understand that. Management had some tough choices to make and when they were made, I tried to handle them the best way I could and move forward."
After the Canucks and Luongo agreed two years ago that he should be traded, Gillis overvalued his asset and underestimated how much the goalie's huge contract would impede a deal. Luongo's contract includes a no-trade clause, and the goalie flexed his legal rights by insisting Gillis deal with the Panthers.
So two potential trades with the Toronto Maple Leafs — likely better than the one Gillis made Tuesday — collapsed. The Canucks felt strung along by the Panthers in the summer of 2012. Luongo seemed untradeable. Needing to duck under the NHL's reduced salary cap for this season, Gillis shockingly traded Schneider at the entry draft in June.
Although the Canucks and Panthers talked off-and-on for nearly two years, Florida general manager Dale Tallon said Tuesday's trade came together quickly.
"We had some talks last year and it just didn't come to fruition," he said. "Yesterday afternoon we had a brief conversation with Vancouver, just making calls, kicking tires. I said 'we can revisit (Luongo).' Here we are. We are excited about it."
To close the deal, Gillis agreed to pay about $800,000 of Luongo's annual salary, and that amount will count against the Canucks' salary cap.
"We were reluctant to do that," Gillis admitted. "We're the same as our fans — we live this every day and we want to win. Sometimes you have to make tough decisions in order to try to move ahead. These are tough decisions. It takes a lot of courage to trade a player like Roberto Luongo and insert younger players into your lineup. We felt strongly that this was the right time frame to think that way and this was the first opportunity to act on it."
Asked if he should have handled his two-year trade mission differently, Gillis said: "People out there want to think that we have total control over this. We signed Roberto to a long-term contract that had a no-trade in it, and he was able to exercise an element of control over how we proceeded. Unfortunately, a team he really wanted to go to … was Florida and they didn't have the wherewithal financially to take him on.
"Would we have done some things differently? Perhaps, but we didn't have complete control of the situation."
Gillis is now trying to get control of his aging team, whose core group has gone stale. He insisted Tuesday that the Luongo trade shouldn't be interpreted as management giving up on this season while finally undertaking the "reset" Gillis promised last summer after the team's second consecutive first-round exit from the playoffs.
But while it's one thing to trade Schneider and argue the Canucks are just as good with Luongo, it's impossible to promote the idea of winning now by trading Luongo, too, and giving the No. 1 label to rookie backup Eddie Lack, who had 25 games and nine wins on his resume.
The Canucks may yet rouse themselves and make the playoffs, especially if Gillis makes an impactful trade Wednesday morning. But what amounted to a golden era for the Canucks is over.

Coastal Living magazine chose Cassique, a Kiawah island Development, as the site of its 2005 Cottage Retreat Idea House, which was described this way by one of the architects, Stan Dixon: "The house is made for casual living. It's not about formalities — it's about the beach. It's about being together." When completed, the development's 39 homes will emulate English country houses.
Viking Featured Designer Linda McLain worked closely with Rick Broome, the Charlestonarea sales representative for the Viking distributor, HADCO, who assisted in specifying and design as it related to the Viking appliances. She credits the team of architects from McKellar & Associates of Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina, and Interior Designer Jackye P. Lanham of Atlanta, Georgia, for their vision in design and selection of materials. It was very much a team effort that brought about the success of the project.

0 caregivers with Post Surgery Recovery experience found near Clearlake Park
The process of post-surgery recovery may involve changes in one mobility, diet, and mood. In some cases, individuals only need pain medication and a few weeks rest, but in others, recovery can be quite extensive and require physical, occupational, and nutritional therapy. The recovery plan may require adminstration of dietary supplements/digestive aids and time spent outdoors, and surgical incision care from skilled professionals. Along with these postoperative care concerns, the caregiver will need to assist the patient with daily activities and errands while he or she takes time to recover.

The Mills Precinct, Toowoomba
Ball Park Music
Line Up
What do people imagine when they think of Ball Park Music?
Do they imagine five youngsters cruising top down in a blaze of glory through the guts of Brisbane's indie-pop-rock utopia? Do they imagine a planning meeting atop a pyramid of vintage amplifiers and festival ticket stubs? Maybe a wild and wondrous party serving custard-flavoured coke, raging proudly through the Valley and on into the night...?
Ball Park Music has spent twelve months sitting naked before a pedestal fan in a lucid, humid fantasy. Instead of chasing the bright lights and big dreams of the world's major cities, the band decided to crank it in their own backyard and do their third record on their own.
Determined to leave their own print on their craft, they opted to record their new work themselves and rented a dirt-cheap property in the northern suburbs of Brisbane. Every day they endured the overwhelming heat of their 70s fibro shack, scooped the mud from the doorway, smashed in the broken door, cleaned away the rotten food and insects and recorded to the sweet backdrop of leaky taps, magpies and main roads. And somehow, it's worked.
After almost twelve months of recording in a proverbial sauna, the band appointed Grammy-nominated mixing engineer Tony Hoffer to help complete their hard work in the studio. It was a no brainer. The band believed that hiring Tony would be a treat after months of isolation and self-production. Hoffer's esteemed work with Beck, The Kooks, M83, Air, Belle and Sebastian and countless others was a tantalising prospect and has no doubt helped to enhance the eclectic, vibrant nature of the band's new material.
The new record is called 'Puddinghead'. They tell me a Puddinghead is a Shakespearean insult offered to someone who manages to fuck up even the most simplest of tasks. The band wanted to celebrate their underdog leanings and rejoice in the love, loss and banalities of suburban Australian life with all their fans (who, we're pretty sure, feel the same way).
'Puddinghead' debuted at #1 on the iTunes chart, #2 on the Australian ARIA chart, and was voted #2 top album of 2014 by Triple J listeners. The band have toured Australian arenas with Weezer, and continue to sell out headline shows and play outstanding performances at Australia's major festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Falls Festival, Southbound, Homebake and Big Day Out. 'Puddinghead' will be released in UK/Europe in early 2015.

I recommend marketing this product to BAR/BRI & PMBR, the two main bar preparatory courses, to supplement their bar preparation materials. Because of your product, I studied and went into the exam without anxiety. "- Michael Shaw, J.D. - Interim Associate Director - Cuny Black Male Initiative

Do not listen to any sessions while driving or while engaged in any activity that requires your attention.
The Hypnosis Network takes great pride in our programs. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
Hypnosis Network CD programs are very powerful, but are NOT a substitute for therapy. As with any self-help modality, you may not achieve the desired result.
Can I be hypnotized? What if I'm "resistant"?
People of average intelligence (unless there is some form of organic brain damage) can be hypnotized in most cases if they are willing and do not resist.
The depth of hypnosis varies with a person's ability to respond. If you are not a naturally responsive subject, you can improve your receptivity to hypnosis with practice.
If you are totally resistant to the intent of the program you are considering, then it's not for you. You can't use hypnosis if you don't want to, because no one can hypnotize you against your will.
How should I use this program for maximum effectiveness?
A comfortable chair is the best place to listen, although a couch will also work. If you are listening to these in bed, for the first cycle it will be best if you do not go into a deep sleep unless so stated by the hypnosis session itself. After the first cycle, you may use the sessions before bedtime (they make great sleep aids). Do not try to listen at your computer – experience shows that it won't work.
These sessions work best when you are undisturbed and comfortable. Please make sure your phone ringer is off and that you will not be disturbed for a 25-minute period. Headphones are OK, but are not necessary.
Listen to only one session a day - the introduction does not count as a session. The sessions are incremental and should be listened to in the order presented on the CDs. We do recommend that you repeat each session at least four times before moving on to the next session. You will find that the programs will be the most effective if you listen at least 5 days a week for a minimum of three weeks . . . changing behavior is not going to happen overnight.
Once you have listened to all the sessions in order, we suggest that you go back and re-listen to the sessions that you find most relevant. The listening order can now be mixed.
If you have multiple programs from The Hypnosis Network, please complete each program separately and completely before moving on to another one.
How do I know if it is working? How will I know if I am actually hypnotized while listening to the sessions?
The experience of hypnosis is different for everyone. For many people, hypnosis is much like reading a good book. You are absorbed, but are still aware of your environment and your internal dialogue.
The depth of the trance has no effect on your results. The best way to notice if the hypnosis is working is to notice your decisions during the day surrounding food and exercise. Gradually, it will be easier and easier to make the right decisions.
Can I listen while sleeping?
It is not a good idea to listen to the hypnosis sessions while lying down to go to bed. If you fall asleep, the sessions will not be effective. A great time to listen is in the morning when you wake up, or in the evening when you get home from work.
Will the program work if I fall asleep while I'm listening?
Probably not, but sometimes hypnosis is confused with sleep. If you wake up at the end of each session, then you were in a deep trance and were not asleep – which is excellent! If you wake up hours later, then you were asleep and the session will not be effective.
What if I stay completely aware during the hypnosis session?
The hypnosis sessions on these CDs are pretty light, meaning that it is not like the movies. You're not going to become a zombie.
Some people experience the sessions in the way you would experience a great work of fiction. You are totally absorbed, but are aware of the outside world. Other people (usually if they are tired or really need the relaxation) get so absorbed that they do not remember listening to the session. Either way, you will get results. The results are not tied to "going under," but instead are tied to the focusing.
Can I listen while driving?
Absolutely not. Never listen to a hypnosis session while driving or engaged in any activity that requires your attention. Please listen in a quiet place where you will be undisturbed, without operating a vehicle or any dangerous machinery.
Can I contact someone if I still have questions?
Yes! Please let us know if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions. We always welcome customer input.

The Texas Senate was poised to cast a final vote on tough new abortion restrictions after a committee approved the measure Thursday, and top Republicans and Democrats acknowledged there is little to stop it from becoming law this time.
Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst scheduled the vote for Friday afternoon, less than two weeks after the GOP-led Senate failed to finish work on the bill during a chaotic end to the first special session. Senators were expected to offer amendments and debate the virtues and dangers of imposing some of the toughest abortion restrictions in the country.
It could be Saturday morning before senators actually cast their votes if debate lingers through the night.
U.S. & World
During the Senate Health and Human Services Committee hearing Thursday, Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, offered amendments that would have added exceptions in cases of rape or incest and helped keep open clinics that also provide other women's health services, such as check-ups and contraception. The Republican majority rejected each amendment, just as it has rejected any attempt to modify the bill since it was introduced.
As senators on the committee cast their votes, a group of protesters began singing, "No, we're not going to take it," the refrain from a 1984 rock song by Twisted Sister. State troopers escorted them out of the hearing as the senators finished the 6-3 vote along strict party lines.
Democrats acknowledge House Bill 2 will become law, saying there is little they can do to stop the Republican majority. But groups will challenge the law's constitutionality in federal court.
"We do not have the numbers to stop it," said Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas. "As soon as it's signed by the governor, it will be challenged ... we believe the whole bill is unconstitutional."
Royce said the next battle would be in court.
"And if some of the other states are instructive of what is going to happen, I think a preliminary injunction will be granted on this particular bill," he said.
Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, who chairs the committee, said she expected a lengthy debate on the Senate floor on Friday afternoon, and she hoped there would be no interruptions. On the final day of the first special session, the Republican majority cut short a filibuster by Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis of Fort Worth, triggering a 20-minute protest in the gallery that prevented the bill from becoming law.
"I think there will be some heartfelt comments both in favor and opposition to the bill," she said. "I hope we're able to make those comments without disruption."
Nelson rejected criticism that the bill was part of a "war on women."
"This bill is trying to end a war on babies that is taking place," Nelson said.
There are 20 days left in the current special session, so there is no possibility for a filibuster and Democrats have dismissed suggestion that they flee the state to break quorum. However each of the 31 senators may speak on the bill Friday afternoon and the gallery holds 467 people.
The Department of Public Safety has more than doubled security at the Capitol and Republican leaders have said they will clear the gallery if anyone tries to disrupt the Senate again.
"I hope we don't get to that point but if we do, we do. This is a democracy and we will not be interrupted from doing the people's work by an unruly mob," Dewhurst said.
Also on Thursday, Dewhurst welcomed support from former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, who visited the Capitol to express support for the measure.
"I wanted to come down here because I wanted to stand with these men and women who are doing something great for our country, shining a light into this darkness," Santorum said. "The country is watching ... and I think many around the world are watching."
If passed Friday, the bill immediately goes to Gov. Rick Perry for his signature. Perry has made the bill a priority, calling two special legislative sessions to pass it.
NBC 5's Omar Villafranca contributed to this report.

Police in Mexico investigating sale of videos showing brutal mob killing of alleged rapists
TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, Mexico – Police in southern Mexico are investigating how vendors in local markets obtained a grisly video that shows a mob beating and burning to death three suspected rapists.
A voice is heard on the video saying "Gasoline on everything!" and then the tape shows a man in flames, tied to a tree, writhing as a he apparently burns.
Tapes of the attack were being sold in street markets for 15 to 20 pesos ($1.15 to $1.50) apiece.
The Chiapas state attorney general's office said Wednesday all three men died. It is investigating both the mob attack and the sale of the video.
Voices on the tape allege the men were caught dumping the body of an Indian woman they raped and killed.

Media Advice: Letters to the Editor
Media Advice: Letters to the Editor
There are a number of reasons why you might want to write a letter to the editor of a newspaper or broadcast program. You might wish to raise an issue which you feel has gone under-reported; respond to an article or to notify them of any errors they may have made.
Whether dealing with the editor of a local free paper, or the BBC News, there are certain principles which it pays to follow. Firstly, it is absolutely vital that your letter is well written, professional, and does not come across as a rant. A badly written, ranting letter will do your campaign no end of trouble - undoing any good relationships that you may have built up with various journalists.
It is worth noting that there are two different types of 'letter to the editor'. The first is (rather obviously) a personal letter written to the editor; the second is a letter written for publication. There are slightly different guidelines to follow:
- If you are writing directly to the editor, then try to find out his or her name. If you can, then use it.
- If you are writing a letter for publication, then it is customary to begin your letter with "Sir," rather than addressing the editor directly. Be sure to check whether there is a seperate address or email for letters (often email@example.com).
- Give a daytime phone number where you can be contacted. Be sure to be available for comment.
- Make your first paragraph count.
- Keep your letter simple and short. Editors are pressed for time, and are unlikely to struggle through a long, rambling letter. Also, if you are writing for publication, then you are more likely to get published if there is little or no editing to be done.
- If writing for publication, remember that your letter can be edited. Make sure that you stick to one point, so that your words cannot be twisted or misinterpreted if cut down.
- Avoid point scoring and piety. It looks petty. Be calm, rational and authoritative.
- React quickly, particularly if writing for publication. Newspapers have deadlines, and the letters section's is normally about 2pm for a daily. What was relevant today may not be relevant tomorrow.
- If commenting on an article, be sure to mention the title and date of the piece. This will make it easier for the letters editor to know what you are talking about.
- It is also worth reading a few examples of published letters to get an idea of the house style. Tabloids are more acceptable of slang; broadsheets tend towards dry, academic responses.
- Some groups have written letters opposing their own demands (under a pseudonym) to keep a debate going. This can work well, but can also backfire. Be sure to make your fake letter less convincing than your real one, or you might lose the argument!
