Domain transfer complete…0
Yesterday I was able to get my domain transfer done. I am now 100% at hostgater. I think it's been good to get away from godaddy with all the bad press and SOPA issues as of late. Not to mention my issues. So far hostgater has been really good during the move.
Now and things to come.0
Some things that have been working on. I have moved my web
host From godaddy to hostgator. So far it's been a smooth transition. All that's left is godaddy to release the domain
to host gator. During this time I have been revamping my site and social networks.
This blog is a part of the work I have been doing. I have decided that I will
what I can to the blog, but most like just one or two times a week, Just
With Christmas and the new year coming up. I want to start
having a new outlook of things to come, and to try very hard to improve my heath
and quality of life. I want to work on improving my skill sets, and to become
more active with my family and friends. I
know I have a very challenging new year, but when I reach my goals, I believe
things will be better.

On Mandrake 9.1 you may not be able to hear sound yet, for some reason by default the Mixer is set to MUTE ALL. If that is the case follow the following instruction to uncheck the mute option.
Open a virtual terminal and type aumix on your command line and you should see the mixer pop up.
Launch the CD-Player and you should be able to hear the sound.
You may also have to consider checking the aRts sound server option, figure 5.3. Make sure it is enabled to start on KDE start up. If it is not enabled, enable it and restart the system. On any other version of Linux it may be worth checking the sound server option in case you are having difficulties getting it to sound.
Depending on your computer's BIOS ability, you may additionally manage the IRQ settings allocation starting at boot in your /etc/lilo.conf. To do this edit lilo.conf and find the line that says append, and insert the pci=biosirq at the end of that line.
Make note that assigning allocation of IRQs in lilo.conf is just an alternative if your system is having trouble allocating resources. To learn more about resources use dmesg as indicated in Chapter 7 installing hardware.

Songs appearing on the album include the first single, "Open Your Eyes," and "Down to My Last," featuring Tremonti's trademark guitar onslaught.
"It's half about thanking the fans -- and half about the critics," Tremonti says. "They actually helped our career, because they kept us hungry to prove them wrong."
Alter Bridge will embark on a U.S. fall tour in support of One Day Remains beginning September 23rd in Pontiac, Michigan.
Coincidentally, August 10th also marks the arrival of Stapp's solo debut with his single "Relearn Love," from the CD compilation to the film The Passion of the Christ, due August 31st. The song features the Canadian rock trio the Tea Party as his backing band, who met Stapp while co-headlining a tour with Creed in 1997.
"He's definitely a very intense soul," Tea Party lead singer Jeff Martin says of Stapp. "He's got a good heart, so I was curious when he gave us a call and said that we were always his favorite band and he wanted us to come down and try out a song with him."
The Tea Party will head to Miami in September to co-write Stapp's album, which is slated for an early 2005 release.
"Scott Stapp and the Tea Party is going to be all over MTV, all over rock radio," Martin says. "It's going to be a number one song for a gazillion weeks in a row."

SystemTrayN is an applet that shows the status of various applications on a computer. It is compatible with the freedesktop.org notification area spec so it can be used with programs compatible with either gnome 2.2 or future versions of KDE. .
To use it, just drag it to your panel. Icons in the system tray can display important messages in a small window near the tray. Click on the window to acknowledge the message.
This is an updated version of Andy Hanton's SystemTray application and it is now available via the ZeroInstall injector.
how to remove or shorten vertical bar
When I drag SystemTrayN to my panel, it grows a little because the tray applet has a vertical bar that is longer than my panel is high. I think it is some sort of separation bar...
Is there a way to either remove this vertical bar, or can I somehow make it shorter?
Vetical bar
It's a GtkVSeparator (or a GtkHSeparator for a vertical panel) and that is its default size. It's not a good idea to remove it because then the applet has a tendecy to reduce to zero size when there are no icons and you can't get at it anymore for the menu. It should be possible to reduce the size using gtk_widget_set_size_request().

Any chance of this in a future release?

Weddings 1993 - 2005
I'm not a wedding photographer, but my friends won't believe me. They keep twisting my arm and making me shoot these.
Click each one to see some images. There are a lot, so if you're on an old dial-up Internet connection it may take a while.
Joy & Chuck 1993
Mike & Jen 1998
Paul & Sandy 2002
Tom & Stacy 2003
My own wedding 2005
Today I shoot these digitally and hand the happy bride and groom their CD the same day. As soon as I get to an Internet connection I can have the photos up on the Internet for everyone to enjoy.
Back in the 1900s I shot these on film like everyone else. I even shot some of Joy's wedding on 4 x 5!
Shooting a wedding digitally saves film and lab costs. It also lets me hand you all your original images the same day.
It's trivial to get great prints from digital files. Professionally I use Costco and they look better than prints I used to have made from film. Huge 12 x 18" prints cost only $2.99! You can take your CD there or home and start printing and emailing on your wedding day. I don't suggest it: my friend Paul got yelled at by his new wife for going home and starting to print them out on their wedding day!
Most professionals charge $3,000 just to give you a book of preview prints and post them on the internet, from which you then have to pay even more to get the final prints for which you thought you paid in the first place! They keep the original negatives and digital files for themselves so you can pay them for each print.
I'll give you all the original everything for you to do with as you please, and help you get all the good prints made.

In honor of Valentine's Day, Bonnie, from The Life of Bon, and Taylor, from The Daily Tay, ganged up for a love themed link up – encouraging others to write about why they and their partner "work".
After deciding to participate I just kept muttering to myself "Why do Ryan and I work as a married couple?" over, and over, and over. I kept trying to recall that one magic moment when everything clicked and fireworks went off and I know we were just perfect for each other. Sorry to break it to you, but I don't believe moments like that exist. No one is perfect for each other.
While I repeatedly asked myself the question, "Why do we work?" I couldn't help but envision a well oiled factory machine with many complex parts all working together perfectly to create a flawless and productive product. This analogy may work for some couples (or maybe just in fairy tales?) but my marriage to Ryan is nothing like that.
We are two separate machines and unlike a well-engineered piece of factory equipment, our parts don't always line up perfectly or complete each other. We don't work because there is some magic chemistry between the two of us or because it was our destiny to end up together. We work because we work at being together. And it is hard work.
Not only are we two separate machines, but Ryan and I are often working in two separate factories miles and miles apart. Yet, with communication our two independent factories work together attempting to create a product that will please the other and create a joint profit. Somedays I will create a product with just the hopes of making Ryan's day, while others I hope that the product I'm creating will work well with the one that he is simultaneously creating for me.
There are days when all lines of communication are down and our attempts are complete failures. We'll end up creating two useless items. I'll create a TV remote and he'll create a picture frame. They are both fine and dandy, but what is a remote with out a TV and a frame with out a picture? These two items are useless alone and they will never be productive together. Failure day at the factories.
Those days are the worst, like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, and they are often filled with tears, resentment, and mean words. But no matter what, you are never going to get that TV remote and that picture frame to work together. It's best to just say goodnight and go to bed. (yes, going to bed angry "works" for us) That TV remote and picture frame will usually be gone by morning and we can get back to work at making something else.
Other days we surprise ourselves and create two separate products that are essential to one another, like a lightbulb and a lamp. You can't have one with out the other can you? These days far outweigh the bad ones. They, like the lightbulb, ignite our love and give us hope which we use to light the way through those darker failure days. But these days take hard work.
It's hard work fitting two different people doing two different jobs together for life. There are days when we both want to quit, that we both want to push the reset button and go back to our factory settings of default. When our machines are in default mode we always come first, we don't have to think about another person's needs or ideas. Ryan and I work because we don't believe in hitting the "reset to default" button. Instead, of the "default button" we select the buttons labeled with words like respect, sympathy, kindness, and patience.
It takes work to be patient when Ryan is dead tired and as grumpy as a toddler. It takes work for Ryan to not jump to conclusions as to why I'm being quiet or distant when I just need some space. It takes work to be understanding when Ryan forgets an important date because he has 5 billion things going on inside his head. It takes work for Ryan to be kind when I forget to rinse out my dirty dishes before putting them in our inadequate dishwasher (once again). It's the constant little acts of kindness that makes us work.
We work because at the end of the day our two separate machines have churned out a plentiful array of products. Yes, some are disasters, but others are productive and beautiful. Together the good and the bad create a beautiful work of art. To others it may look like an abstract mess, but to us it is a masterpiece. It depicts our love, our life's work and tells our story. As with any piece of art, Ryan and I will always view it with a different perception and take away a different meaning. But by choosing to simultaneously admire and to put value in the same piece of work day in and day out; that is what makes us work.

Super Squishy
I love this yarn. I am making a super soft squishy baby blanket with it and hope to make another one for my son. It can get heavy if you are using a lot of it but the product is very worth it for the softness and the colors.3 out of 5 found this review helpful

Great Yarn
I would prefer to give this a 4.5 but only because of the knots that I have in my skein. I am working on a hat and a scarf from the one skein of Evergreen and I really love this yarn. I had to frog the hat a couple times with a few starting up errors and though it fuzzed up a little, it held up well to the repeated frogs. I love the subtle color variations in the yarn. This is one I will be buying again and again.3 out of 5 found this review helpful

Don't have to worry too much about porn...most units have a "unit hardrive" with around a terabyte of porn that has been slowly accumulating over the years.

Yeah but Hustler is a very entertaining magazine. I can honestly say, if there was no porn in it, I would still buy it. I love all the article and stories. Crack me up.

Severe cases of kidney infection can be treated using surgical procedures and treatments. Kidney specialists at Anand hospital, Meerut, suggest medications, physical therapy and a change of lifestyle for minor cases of kidney infection. However, if the above non-surgical methods of treatment fail, the patient has to undergo surgical treatment procedures. Some of the treatments for kidney infection include:
Sling procedures
It involves the use of synthetic strips which make up the sling. The strips are made from the body tissue of the patient and are used to form a sling around the bladder's neck. This sling will help to support the bladder when pressure is applied such that it remains closed to prevent leaking of urine. It might be adjustable, tension free or conventional.
For the tension-free sling, it is made from mesh and hence it does not involve stitches. To put this sling around the neck of the bladder, an incision under the urethra is made using a needle. The adjustable sling is used when the patient is under anesthesia and adjusted when the patient is awake. The conventional sling is made from the body tissues of a donor, patient or animal. It is placed into the abdominal part so that it can exert the right pressure on the bladder.
Bladder neck suspension
The aim is to apply pressure at the neck of the bladder as it is the one that separates the body from the urethra. The specialists at Anand hospital are the best in terms of kidney infection treatment. With their many years of providing successful treatment procedures for kidney infection related cases, they have what it takes. A cartilage is secured to prevent the urethra from sagging during the treatment process. The procedure might involve stitches at the abdomen where the patient may be required to use a catheter during the recovery process.
Bulking agents
Kidney specialists at Anand hospital will insert the agents carefully in the surrounding regions around the urethra to prevent leakage of urine. The agents are made from bone and teeth components like collagen and carbon-coated zirconium beads.
This is a device, which is removable, placed in the vagina and provides support around the pelvic organ prolapsed. It is made from plastic, or rubber or silicon. You can find pessaries in Anand Hospital in a variety of shapes including among them Gellhorn, doughnut or inflatable.
If you have any type of kidney infection, whether minor or major, it is only safe to consult a kidney specialist, known as oncologist. Anand hospital, Meerut contains the best oncologists who have both the expertise and experience in dealing with major and minor kidney infection problems. Skills will play a huge role when dealing with kidney infection problems for patients. It is with this that you have to seek a reliable yet effective health center to have your kidney problem treated. You can get this at Anand hospital, as it has modern equipment, facility and specialists to successfully help you with your kidney infection problem.

I think Robi will be the one who will host the live shows in Vietnam.. The mistake from the past seasons of combining the teens and regulars have a lot of flaws that i think they were not able to intercept at the planning stage.. kinda sucks that there's a very little possibility for it to happen again.. but i hope and pray they will fully segregate them this time..And i hope that there's a swap to happen.. I miss those kinds of events.. (Sighs..) .. I just miss PBB.. .. my heart still goes for PBB no matter what.. (Image removed from quote.)
The two in one housemates were kinda fame and has a decent enough number of fans.. I think there's no current Vietnam BB on air.. This is interesting for the fact that they just built a new house just for PBB in vietnam.
Okay, i am now officially rooting for Ellise.Lol I also follow Hideo's daughter.@marie, they added another Ruben in the mix. A guy named Nonong Ballinan is also a housemate.
Why I see always someone half-brazilian? lol

If there's one thing he realised during his stint as a judge on the first SA Masterchef series, it's that you can and should pursue your dream.
Yet food doesn't feature in popular judge Benny Masekwameng's dream.
"I absolutely love music," he says with that disarming smile.
What he has been reminded of is that he should follow that dream.
"I'm always listening to music," he says. "I cannot play a musical instrument, but I can pick up the rhythms and I want to produce."
So don't be surprised when a few years down the line you hear he's moved into the music world.
If it's production, it has to be hip hop, says Benny, and he doesn't care if he doesn't make bags of money. This is his passion, and perhaps more than anything Masterchef will allow him – as well as the contestants – to follow dreams.
In the meantime, he's still firmly part of the kitchen. For the moment, even if we are still watching the first series of Masterchef, they have finished filming. His head is already spinning about the second series and they're in negotiations.
Being in front of the camera is something Benny wanted to do.
"I would think about having my own show," he says.
He didn't think it would happen this way and is surprised by the adulation and his popularity.
"I kept reminding myself that I am a chef and not an actor," he says, and that probably explains why he is such a natural.
Being the diplomat he is, he is not going to diss his fellow judges and is adamant that he, Pete Goffe-Wood and Andrew Atkinson hit it off from the start.
"We connected," he says, knowing full well they will probably have to work together for a few more seasons. But he has been this season's star and you just have to ask around to hear how viewers feel about the chef who seems to be most comfortable in his skin.
They were all put through many tests and auditions before selection, and even though Benny is a Tsogo Sun chef and it is one of the spon-sors, the Masterchef producers were under no obligation to employ one of the sponsor's chefs.
"That's a good thing," he says. "We have to make it on our own merit."
What they were most interested in was what the judges would be looking for in a Masterchef winner, SA food trends and how each individual would come across.
SA food is one of Benny's touchstones and something he feels strongly about.
"We need to promote our own food," he says. "There's such a rich history out there."
He notes he's travelled the world and done the French cuisine bit and everything required of a master chef, but when visitors come to this country they want to eat local food, not sample the way we do French or Italian food.
That is another of his dreams. If he was given the chance to make his own TV show, it would concentrate on local food.
"I will travel from dorpie to dorpie and find that dish everyone loves and get those people to share their secrets," he says.
Then he would return to the studio with that dish, give it his contemporary twist and hopefully in that way contribute to a stronger local cuisine.
He also wants to give back to the people. "I was given many chances along the way," he says.
He knows the Masterchef season doesn't make a chef out of anyone, but they can possibly spot some of those contestants who go out in the earlier rounds and give them a chance to take hold of their dreams. It is about learning the basics, then allowing people to grab hold of something and opening doors.
Benny, who grew up in Alexandra and first got to grips with food in his mom's kitchen, studied catering management at Natal Technikon before working for a few years at the Hilton in Durban, where he met his wife – also a chef. She works at the Southern Sun Hyde Park, not in the kitchen any longer, but she is the one who cooks 95 percent of the time at home.
What dominates his mind and cleaves strongly to his heart is his 12-week-old daughter.
"I'm often away," he says, but when he's home, he's all over her.
"When she's sleeping, I'm the one who wonders why it takes so long before she wakes up."
With two chefs ruling this little one's heart, chances are she might run in the other direction and Benny is fine with whatever his heart's desire wants in life.
Starting out on Masterchef, Benny was the executive chef at Tsogo Sun's MondoVino Restaurant, situated on the square at Montecasino close to the Teatro. This is where the winning chef will spend two years running the restaurant. In the meantime, Benny has become a kind of roving chef for Tsogo Sun as he promotes the brand as well as the TV series.
Tsogo Sun has grabbed the opportunity to add some zip to its food: "We want to make food and cooking fashionable again," he says.
When Benny has to make food choices, he finds he turns to seafood. His many years spent at the coast have turned Durban into his second home, and I suspect when he wants to tune out you'll catch him listening to music.
He talks excitedly about Masterchef and loves the questions flung his way. He praises chef Arnold Tanzer, the culinary director for Masterchef.
"The challenges, for example, are tailor-made so the contestants are challenged, but also learn," says Benny. "It will prepare and equip the eventual winner for the future."
He knows the winner has much to learn, but all of that is a process. Turning his mind to this week's Zanzibar challenge, he believes the girls got it right because of Khaya's blood, sweat and tears with the sugar cane, as well as Lungile, Manisha and Ilse's selling prowess.
"They had to sell the food and that's what counted in the end."
The winner? He's not saying. But it is all about riding that wave and how you deal with the challenges.
"They have to show courage and confidence," says Benny, who has all of that wrapped in the biggest and heartiest smile.
If your idea of a Masterchef is the rant of a Gordon Ramsay, think again. Benny is doing it his way – with a smile and an embrace.

Glen Johnson says that Brendan Rodgers is a better man-manager than Jose Mourinho and admits that he lost respect for the Portuguese after being dropped after man of the match displays.
Liverpool defender Glen Johnson played under Jose Mourinho during his time with Chelsea, but could never become a regular first team player for the Portuguese then. Johnson admitted that Mourinho could not get the best out of him, unlike at present, because Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is better at 'man management'.
"It was difficult for me under Jose at Chelsea because there was a moment when he said I deserved to play on merit", the England full back said
"He said if I played well in the next game I would play the week after. I got man of the match so he couldn't drop me. Then in the next game he said the same thing and I got man of the match again.
"Then we had another game and after that Barcelona. I remember speaking to my agent and saying, 'He won't play me in this game because if I play well then he has to play me against Barcelona', and I knew that wasn't going to happen.
"He didn't play me in that game and from that moment I just lost it and thought, 'Well, how am I meant to respect you now? It's just finished'.
"Brendan wouldn't do that. He's shown that if you're good enough you're old enough and you'll play in the big games if you deserve to. So in terms of man management, Brendan is definitely better."
Johnson heaped praise at Rodgers and added that the Anfield manager's footballing philosophy is not easily imitable:
"Mourinho is one of the best in the world and I would never say he's not because of what happened between us. But Brendan is different to Jose, he has his own mentality and is definitely one of the best".
"Some managers like the thought of playing the way Brendan does but haven't got the confidence or know how to pull it off.
"Others would probably have panicked and changed their philosophy just to try and win. But Brendan was mentally strong enough and knew what he was trying to implement was right and that once we grabbed hold of it we would be a success."
Glen Johnson said that he has confidence in the present season and Liverpool's abilities as a top team:
"We believe we can win every game and I remember having that feeling at Chelsea. The first year we won the title (2005) we could be losing 2-0 and still think we would win, and we usually would. That was confidence at its peak and we are moving towards that at Liverpool.
"You have to believe you can win the league and until there are not enough points available we'll keep thinking we can. We've got 10 cup finals, really, because we can't afford to lose games or drop many points because Manchester City and Chelsea won't.
"City are favourites because they could field a second team that would be competitive, and you can't compete with that. So we will need a bit of luck but we are definitely good enough.
"Our goal at the start of the season was to finish in the top four and that is still our minimum aim. Finishing third, second or winning the title is a bonus but we are in a good position.
"The character and mentality in this squad are different. There were games last season when we battered teams and didn't get results. We've got more of a killer instinct this year."
Johnson is going to win his 50th cap for England against Denmark on Wednesday and while he admits that he could have had a better season, insists that he doesn't have to prove his credentials.
"I know I could have had a better season, but you can't play 12 years in the Premier League and not have a bad couple of weeks,
"I'm my biggest critic and I don't need to be told when I'm playing badly.
"You don't get 49 England caps, play in World Cups and European Championships, you don't win the Premier League twice, the League Cup twice and the FA Cup if you can't defend. It's that simple.
"No disrespect, but you'd be in the Championship."
Brendan Rodgers recently commented that he wants to extend Johnson's contract which runs out in the summer but the 29 year old is himself unaware of anything regarding a possible extension. He says that he wants to extend his stay at Anfield, but hasn't had any contact about an extended contract as yet.
"I've loved every minute of the five years I've been here and I'd love to stay but really the only truth in it is that I've not been offered a new contract on any level,
"I know some people have been saying Liverpool don't want to pay me my current wages, but I've not heard that. No one has come to me from Liverpool at all. I don't know the situation the club are in or if they want to renew it. So I've not got a decision to make other than to see my contract out because no-one is telling me any different.
"It is an unnecessary distraction. I'm more than happy to sign a new contract and I'd love to stay here for many more years. But at the moment that is not for me to decide because I've not been offered anything and I've not been told I'm going to be sold.
"I just have to honour my contract and try not to let it distract me."

I don't want to brag or anything, but there was a time when I was as proficient with a spoon as with a baseball bat. Yes indeed. It says so right here.
And I don't want to brag or anything, but my grade 8 girlfriend was one of the top two or three hottest chicks in my class. That's us dancing in the church basement.
I would walk Lynn Sinclair home and we'd make out on the sidewak outside her house, and her chest would rub against me, causing my hormones to do the mambo and give me pains below my belly button for hours afterward.
And I certainly don't want to brag about the time my peewee baseball rode on a fire truck in a parade, celebrating the fact that we won a bunch of tournaments, with me being as proficient with a bat as I was with a spoon.
And I also don't want to brag about playing in the NHL. Okay, it was called the Little NHL, and it was a pile of teams from Ontario going at it. But anyway.
John French would one day become property of the Habs, and enjoyed a fine career in the WHA. Ron Clarke became a successful heavy equipment salesman and I hear from him every so often. Myself, I never ever made it to third base with Lynn Sinclair.

Microsoft Offering Alternative Browsers to Windows 7 Users
Now this is something really very surprising! Microsoft is offering other "alternative" web browsers to its users in Europe.
In the latest Windows Update, Microsoft prompts users of Internet Explorer using Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 to make an "important choice" of choosing their web browser. The move is part of a settlement with the European Commission.
Flock 2.0 Beta Is Out – Powered By Firefox 3
Two weeks ago, we gave you the heads up that Flock 2.0 beta, which is powered by Firefox 3's technology, will be soon released for public. And yesterday, the Flock team announced about the availability of the first beta version of Flock 2 for download. Till now, Flock has been running on Firefox 2's code, but with the release of Firefox 3 later today, Flock 2.0 will soon be released, which will be powered with Firefox 3's code.
Flock 1.2 Released With Digg and Pownce Integration
Flock, after weeks of beta testing, has finally released the version 1.2 of its popular social web-browser. Flock is known for integrating some of the most popular web 2.0 social networking services. Like we saw in in the beta version, the final version also has Digg and Pownce support, making Flock more social than it really was! Another announcement that Flock made for everyone is that they will soon be releasing the first beta of Flock 2.0, which will be based on Firefox 3.
Within the coming weeks Flock will release it's first beta of Flock 2.0, which incorporates the Mozilla technology that powers Firefox 3. So get ready to have all of the latest performance (memory management), security and feature enhancements found in the latest Firefox 3 release along with the unique user experience innovations only delivered by the Flock browser.
Upgrade Flock: Changes In Facebook Code
Whenever, I want to use social networking sites, I always use Flock for that purpose. I've all my information like passwords, saved forms related to such sites saved in Flock. After all, it's a Social Web Browser. Yesterday, when I opened Facebook, I noticed that the usual sidebar that always opened while browsing Facebook, did not open.
At first I thought, that may be because of my slow PC, but later I came to know from the official blog, that it was actually a problem at their end. Facebook changed some code in their site yesterday, and due to that, all previous releases of Flock now have this problem, that the Facebook People sidebar does not open.
They got aware of the problem as soon as it occurred, and they have rolled out an update as Flock 1.1.4. It is recommended to all Flock users to update your browser. It will be available through Automatic Update later tonight.
Download Flock 1.1.4 (10.6 MB)
The Problem Still Persists?
It has been reported that for some people, the problem is still there. Even after upgrading. Well, for those people, Flock has given some instructions to follow. Follow them carefully:
- Select the Tools->Options menu, or, if on a mac, Flock->Preferences
- From that dialog, select the Advanced pane
- Inside this pane choose the "Update" tab
- Click on the "Force Service Updates" button
- Restart Flock
- Enjoy your Facebook people again!
I hope you Flock People sidebar for Facebook is now up and running.

East Boston High School students learn financial skills from Cambridge Savings Bank
Cambridge Savings Bank
A group of East Boston High School students recently got a practical lesson in dealing with their personal finances through a program sponsored by Cambridge Savings Bank.
The CSBsmart Financial Education Program has helped educate more than 7,000 participants since 2010 in topics such as budgeting, saving, managing a checking account, using credit, and preventing fraud.
But the sessions on Jan. 22 and 23 were the first at East Boston High School, according to a statement released by Cambridge Savings Bank.
Leo Fitzsimons, a math and financial literacy instructor, praised the program, which was presented to 46 students at the school.
"CSBsmart lessons are very well scripted and supported with appropriate materials, such as handouts, PowerPoint slides, and props that bring concepts to life," Fitzsimons said in the statement.
"CSBsmart is not only an invaluable curriculum, it is presented in a way that keeps high school students fully engaged," Fitzsimons said.
In addition to live presentations, the bank offers online educational tools at its CSBsmart site.

Loveless Bedhow i wish i really don't have to wait
when will be the next time
i would cuddle you on my bed,
so i can kiss your worries away
and hug the troubles at bay.
fate may never be kind for the two of us
because we have to endure the pain of the past
how lonely it is to let the day separates us
remembering the night of mistrust
i want to love you again
but am still hurting inside
maybe i have yet to forget the pain
so love and trust would be our gain.
just love me now and embrace my tears
take away my troubles and fears
the day of our red wine has yet to come
love has to grow to where it has begun.

I wish i was better at music so i could write the notes to make your heartfelt words into a song. I bet it would top the charts.
Beautiful...from the soul. A window into a very beautiful heart......
That was truly beautiful. Thank You.
You have a great gift with words. Thanks for sharing
So beautiful.

Fencing with shadows.........C&C welcome.

Hi MOHO!
I like the scenery and the composition with strong graphical elements and rich tones: it makes my eyes follow the fence from the first post to the distant grove and makes my feed wanting to follow the peacefull path..
What I don't like is the feebleness of the sky. If I had done this photo with a black & white film, I would have srewd a yellow-green filter to the lens to darken the sky and differenciate the green-tones even more. If I had converted it from color to b&w I would have simulated the effect in pp, at least my DxO allows for applying "filters" or channel mixing.
How about this idea? Instead of playing around with the sky, elevate the camera and shoot at more of a downward angle. Make the shadow the main subject and the fence a supporting element. Optionally, aim a little more to the right and use a vertical crop. Just a thought,

We want to be amongst the top three Indian pay TV operators: Anil Khera
When the Dhoots of the Videocon group decided to foray into the direct to home (DTH) television business, the odds were stacked against them. Five other players had already established themselves, and the segment was already boiling over with competition. But that did not deter the Dhoot family which was keenly looking at investing in high growth emerging businesses.
They charged an old hand who had spent nearly three decades with the consumer durables and electronics group in various managerial positions in sales and marketing - Anil Khera - to get the venture going under Bharat Business Channel. Launched in 2009, with Khera as CEO, Videocon d2h, is another success story for the Dhoots.
And Khera has contributed in no small measure to that success. A very desi brand builder and marketer, he is known to have his ear very close to the ground, and his eye on the consumer. Today Videocon d2h has more than 10 million subscribers and claims to be the fastest growing company in terms of net DTH additions. And Khera is looking at further accelerating that growth.
He took out some time to speak to indiantelevision.com's Vishaka Chakrapani about the company's stellar performance, the way ahead and the DTH industry on an overall basis.
How has 2013 been for Videocon d2h? What are your expectations in 2014?
2013 has been a tremendous year for us. We consolidated our market leadership further and maintained a 26-27 per cent market share in incremental growth. We crossed 10M subscriber base and introduced several innovative products like 1TB DVR recording facility in zapper boxes through USB etc.
We expect 2014 to be a similar year. We would also look at introducing new products and services to our customers like Anywhere TV etc.
What is good about the India DTH industry? How can it be made better?
The size of Indian Pay TV market in terms of number of subscribers is unparalleled across the world. Also, it's a completely open market structure that promotes competition by accommodating several DTH and Cable companies at the same time. However, its overly regulated and high rate of taxation is the single biggest issue.
What differentiates Videocon d2h from other players?
The hallmark of Videocon d2h is its simplicity and execution focus in approach. Some of these can be described as:
·We constantly thrive on simplifying our offerings to customers.
·Our consumer durable DNA means we have decades of insights and knowledge on customer behavior.
·Our entire organisation is very execution orientated constantly speaking to trade and customers.
What are the value added services (VAS) that the subscribers get from d2h? How do you finalise the services for your customers?
We offer the following value added services:
·Pay Per View channel bringing the best and latest movies to our customers
·In house VOD channels
·Audio music channels bringing music across 20 genres ranging from religious to romantic
·Audio Video channel
·Premium subscription channels like Star World Premiere
·Special customised tickers like stock market updates 24X7 across any channel
Our services are finalised on the customer's demands, maturity of offering and our hypothesis on future potential of the service.
Do you have plans to target the mobile space any time soon?
We would be launching Anytime TV sometime soon in 2014.
How many net customer additions did you have in 2013? Have you seen a fall in the number of subscribers?
We have added arguably the largest chunk of industry net additions in 2013. We have certainly seen dramatic fall in churn rates post phase 1 and phase 2 digitisation. We expect this to further drop post phase 3 and 4 of digitisation process.
How has revenue growth been in 2013? Has the revenue growth been on account of subscriber additions or rise in average revenue per user (ARPU)?
2013 has seen significant growth in terms of revenue. This has been on account of:
·Subscriber base has gone up significantly from where we were at the start of the year.
·Customer prices have seen a 5-6 per cent increase during the year.
·Increase in HD is improving our revenue mix and hence overall revenue.
·With reduction in churn and suspension rates due to digitisation, customer realisation has improved quite a lot.
Have your ARPUs grown over the years?
Over the past few years, ARPU has grown at a healthy double digit rate. We expect this to continue to grow and a low double digit rate for the next three years
How do you work on increasing your ARPUs?
We expect ARPU to grow by a low double digit this year on account of Better HD mix; marginal price increases; and introduction of VAS offerings like Anywhere TV.
Claims are that the DTH business has stayed stagnant for some time now. Your opinion?
While the overall industry is growing at only 10-12 per cent, this is not necessarily true for each player. Various players are growing at rates varying from negative to high double digit rate.
What is status of your IPO? Why has it not happened even after getting SEBI approval in March last year?
We have had fantastic feedback from potential investors across the world on our IPO. However, given the election year, there is uncertainty about any investments in the market at this point. We are waiting for the opportune moment and investor mindset to realise the true value of our IPO.
Do you believe that content aggregators are trying to push several unwanted channels along with the popular ones on DTH platforms? What is your way of dealing with the aggregators?
This does happen at this point for sure. We generally avoid putting unwanted channels. We focus on channels only which will add value to the customer and some channels which are entering in carriage arrangement with us.
Should the DTH players bring content costs down, or upselling is better as both the content owner and platform increases its revenues and thus the ARPUs?
This is the moot issue today as for the past 10 years DTH industry has alone bore the brunt of broadcasters cost. We have subsidised the cable industry for far too long. With digitisation complete in Phase I and II, major markets for carriage, it's high time broadcasters and aggregators star treating digital cable and DTH at par. They can't continue to expect DTH to fund everyone's P&L forever. In entire value chain DTH is the only industry where all six players are still making losses.
Having said that, there is no doubt we need to continue to focus on revenue growth and subscriber growth also. We need to strike the right balance between growth and cost efficiency.
Are you planning to move from a fixed-fee deal with broadcasters to per subscriber arrangement?
In our view once a certain critical mass is achieved, which today almost every player has achieved, it doesn't matter whether deals are fixed or per subscriber. There are similar robust calculations and negotiation that go behind it.
How many subscribers from phases I and II switched over from cable to Videocon d2h? What is your expectation from phsases III and IV?
Close to 25-30 per cent in various Phase I markets and 30-35 per cent in various Phase II markets have shifted to DTH. Our estimate is that 26-27 per cent of that has shifted to Videocon d2h. We expect Phase III and IV to be in favor of the DTH industry.
What is the vision for the company?
We want to be amongst the world's leading top 10 Pay TV operators and surely amongst the top three in the Indian market. We want to be known for our simplicity, innovation and customer centricity.

Cor Jesu, Rosati-Kain, St. Dominic and Ursuline are raising money for the Footprint's Program at Cardinal Glennon Children's Medical Center. Footprint's provides financial assistance for families with seriously and terminally ill children.
At 4 p.m. on April 22, Cor Jesu will host Rosati-Kain. Each player on both teams will wear special jerseys from Soccer Master that they will purchase for $15. Jerseys for fans will be available for purchase through the school as well for $15. There will be a small admission charge to the game and a concession stand will be available to help raise money, which will also be donated to Footprints.
Ursuline will host St. Dominic in their game at the same time, at 4 p.m. on April 22. Fans will also be able to support Footprints via jersey purchases, game admission and concessions. There will also be a raffle.
Everyone has a story for why they are involved in this effort. As I understand it, for Coach Beekman of Ursuline it is a sibling. For Coach Koeller at St Dominic, well, here's his story
…when I was asked three years ago to join in this effort by then IWA coach Annie Beekman I did not hesitate to answer her request with an emphatic "Yes!". All I heard was Cardinal Glennon and the title "Footprints" and I was sold! The story below explains my reason….
Family & faith are vital to Koellers ST. DOMINIC COMMUNITY RALLIES TO LIFT SOCCER COACH'S WIFE'S SPIRITS
As my photo of Molly Ream above shows, the Crusader girls are still wearing armbands to this day remembering Marsha Koeller. Her daughters Madeline (#12) and Mary (#2) will be on the pitch Monday.
Both games are followed by JV games as well…..Ursuline is white , St Dominic are navy….. The schools are asking for a $1 donation at the door for every fan to get the youngsters involved from area grade schools!

He put a ring on it! Although Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston split in December 2008, just weeks after their son Tripp was born, the couple are now engaged, reports Us Weekly.
The news comes as a surprise to all, including Bristol's mom, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. "We got engaged two weeks ago," Bristol says. "It felt right, even though we don't have the approval of our parents."
Bristol, 19, and Levi, 20, got back together three months ago when they met to talk about a custody plan for their 18-month-old son Tripp. Levi didn't believe there was any hope for him and his ex, but something changed that day. "When he left that night, we didn't hug or kiss, but I was thinking how different it was," Bristol continues. "He texted me: 'I miss you. I love you. I want to be with you again'... I was in shock."
But while the couple is celebrating, they still have to face Bristol's mom, who has made it clear that she doesn't like her daughter's fiance. She once said Levi would "say and do anything for even more attention." Bristol adds, "It is intimidating and scary just to think about what her reaction is going to be. Hopefully she will jump on board."
Are you suprised to hear about Bristol's engagement? Do you think she's doing the right thing for herself and her baby? Or do you think she's making a huge mistake by going back to Levi? Let us know what you think in the comments below. %Poll-49443%

The earliest practice of manual therapy dates back to Hippocrates in 460 B.C.. Spinal mobilization as a physical therapy technique became widely accepted in the early 1950's. One of the most eminent manual therapists at that time was Geoffrey Maitland, PT. As taught by Maitland, spinal mobilization, not to be confused with manipulation, is a passive movement through the range of motion of the spinal or vertebral articulation. Today his and other manual techniques have become an important part of the curriculum in most schools of physicians and physical therapists.
The Advanced Spinal Mobilization Instrument (ASMI)
The Advanced Spinal Mobilization Instrument was designed to act as an extension of the hand, combining precise mobilization with infinitely variable control. Unlike the hand, however, the instrument was developed to deliver treatment for a longer period of time, more powerfully and at much quicker speeds than an individual practitioner could ever hope to achieve manually.
The handset incorporates four pads powered by variably controllable electro-pneumatics. These pads operate in opposing pairs and are spaced so as to align with the vertebrae. The treatment is delivered in three modes, a spasm mode, a reflex mode and the mobilization mode. Each mode is used throughout the treatment depending on the patient's condition as determined by the practitioner.
As represented in the illustration to the left, the ASMI is used to apply pressure to the diagonally opposite transverse processes of neighboring vertebrae. The condition of the joint determines the response to the applied effort. Initially the joint may be fixed or out of alignment. The goal of the treatment is to restore alignment, flexibility and mobility to the joint and restore the para vertebral muscles that support and stabilize the spine .
The specially design, touch sensitive handset enables practitioners to feel movements of the individual vertebra. It is important to note that this treatment is impossible to do manually because the spinal joints are bigger and tougher than the practitioners hands. There are many treatments available for back pain yet the problem persists because most treatments target the symptoms and not the root of the problem. Practitioners can work on the entire spine to ensure it is all working as it should and this is achieved in 5- 10 sessions on average which means patients can get back to LIVING A PAIN FREE LIFE.
A Unique Treatment
Treatments are performed with patients lying prone or face down on a specially designed treatment table. A SPASM mode always begins and ends a treatment, relaxing the patient and acclimating them prior to the beginning of the treatment.
In the REFLEX mode the alternating pads provide short taps to the paravertebral muscles. These muscles run parallel to the spine from the base of the skull to the tailbone, and provide stability and support the spine at rest and during movement. The Reflex mode stimulates the muscles of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral paravertebral muscles that may have been shut off due to injury, poor posture, or inactivity.
The third and therapeutic phase of the treatment is the MOBILIZATION mode. Gentle force is applied by the handset applicators that applies pressure to the alternating transverse processes of adjacent vertebrae (see AB model). This produces a counter rotational movement of each vertebral pair and increases the mobility and alignment to the spine. This mobilizing movement allows the body to release it's natural synovial fluid to each facet joint (the same fluid found in your knee or elbow joint) Skilled practitioners will recognize resistance of stiff or immobile joints and will focus on returning mobility and flexibility to these joints throughout the use of this mode. Treatment sessions lasts for approximately 20-30 minutes, alternating between the Reflex and Mobilization modes, and finishes with the Spasm mode.

Linux Projects' Best Kept Secret
Webpath Technologies, the parent company of On-Disk.com, is proud and excited to report that they have reached a record in pay-outs to developers and software projects. This month's calculations showed that developers have received a total of over 21,000 USD in 2006 and 2007 so far.
Large or small companies, organizations, and individuals with low-budget or no-budget can publish their software and digital media products with no out of pocket expenses through On-Disk.com. On-Disk.com was originally created as a live, portfolio site to showcase Webpath Technologies eCommerce and hosting capabilities. Due to the success On-Disk.com has achieved, it has become Webpath's primary focus.
On-Disk.com gives developers and projects an outlet for cdrom and DVD disk distribution while also allowing them to earn some much needed resources to further their work.
The Projects
There are a total of 42 developers earning money at On-Disk.com. Some of the projects being supported include Wolvix Linux, Ark Linux, Frugalware Linux, SymphonyOS, Berry Linux, Zenwalk Linux, Goblinx, Feather Linux, PCLinuxOS, and dynebolic.
Karlie Robinson, of Webpath Technologies, states, "And some of our projects aren't Distros at all. Projects like Glest (Open Source Turn-based game), Smart Technology for Smarter Business (tutorials for commercial office software), Ray Larabie/Typodermic (Fonts) to name a few." They also participate in Fedora Sponsorships and other disc donations.
The projects sign up at no cost to them and set their own price. Then they receive any of the funds on sells over 4.99 USD. Karly states, "As far as building a payout, a project like Linux Mint or the Super Gamer won't ship as many discs to trigger a payout because they earn $5.40 per disc. Other projects have set their price to earn $0.90 but their discs fly out of here." A payout is triggered when their account reaches 250 USD. In addition, On-Disk.com is non-exclusive so they can work with other vendors if they want to.
On-Disk.com does more to help the projects than provide cdroms to customers. "Besides cash to keep their projects going we can help in a variety of ways. One of the things we do most often is marketing help. Sometimes we find that Software developers get so caught up in the technical specs for their release that they forget what regular users or more importantly users switching from Win/Mac will want to know.
But it doesn't stop with Marketing. We've done a variety of tasks for the projects. We were once asked by Flavio Pereira de Oliveira to re-master GoblinX to include a major update because there were some bandwidth issues and he wouldn't have been able to get a new ISO up to the server," Karly explains.
So, if you are a developer, you might want to consider a partnership with On-Disk.com to earn money for your project. More information can be found at On-Disk.com's Developer Portal.
Many times users don't know that a project earns money from On-Disk.com. "In some cases we're a projects best kept secret." If you are a Linux user and purchase your disks from an online retailer, please consider purchasing your disks from On-Disk.com and give back to the community in a substantial way.

Cilantro-Lime Rice Bowls Is a Healthy Meal You'll Actually Crave
Show Chipotle who's boss with homemade cilantro-lime rice.
Anyone who's ever tried Chipotle's rice (so, everyone) knows one thing: It's. The. Bomb. A perfectly salted blend of fresh cilantro and lime juice. Taking inspo from their burrito bowls, I made a shrimp one, with avocado for some extra texture and protein.
The beauty about this dish is how well the shrimp and rice go together. On its own, the shrimp tastes good, but with the fresh cilantro rice, see you later. It's like a flavor explosion in your mouth. Seasoned with tons of lime juice and zest, soy, garlic, and honey, the shrimp is fresh and citrusy.
We show this with microwaveable frozen rice because it really is a smart shortcut—frozen rice does not sacrifice quality of taste or texture at all—but you can obviously use whatever rice or grain you want.

As floodwaters recede in many areas of the Midwest, the next wave of misery arrives: mosquitoes.
Mosquitoes annoy inside and out. Celebrating National Mosquito Control Awareness Week can be as simple as changing the water in your birdbath. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water, even something as unlikely as a toy dump truck filled with rain from a week ago.
Anything that holds rain water should be turned over or thrown out, such as old tires, unused buckets and trash cans.
Pot saucers on the deck are another potential breeding site; it doesn't take much water for mosquitoes to breed. And don't neglect the gutters; clogged downspouts create wonderful reservoirs for mosquitoes.
If you are among a growing number of homeowners with rain barrels, standing water provides another welcoming breeding ground. Use a natural biological control called Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis; it comes in products such as Mosquito Dunks that kill mosquito larvae before adults hatch.
I can confirm that the mosquitoes are horrendous in my area. It has to be even worse in those areas that really flooded out this year. Here are a few pointers for homeowners on how to deal with mosquitoes. It's a really good idea to do whatever you can to help control the little pests. West Nile virus is in many areas of the country and is nothing to sneer at.

You will have an opinion on the issue of immigration. I am sure you are aware that as a member of the EU the UK is legally obliged to operate an open border policy. There are huge problems across Europe with the influx of eastern Europeans. It is rarely mention but there are two million gypsies who roam across the borders.
Migrationwatch estimates that around 1,000 immigrants a week will start to arrive from Rumania and Bulgaria in the New Year. It is generally accepted by more serious commentators that David Cameron's rhetoric about stiffer tests is window dressing devised by his overpaid Australian strategist.
'The Sun' in the last week has published some fascinating articles on the subject. On Wednesday Rod Liddle visited Boston in Lincolnshire. In 2001 the population, called Bostonians, were nearly 100% British. They now numbers 64,000 of which 84% are home born. The main thoroughfare is called 'West Street'. The locals have renamed it 'East Street'.
The immigrants come because there is money to be earned in the potato and cabbage fields. They work very hard and reduce wages. They open shops, bars, restaurants. The dominant influx has come from Poland. Rents have increased because landlords can make more money from five or six male workers sharing than from a family with children.
The weakest part of Liddle's article is about the Council. They see impotent and overwhelmed. The police are dealing with the crime which seems mainly to centre on drink and theft.
'The Sun' editorial seems unable to come to a conclusion. They side with the local population ("their anger is understandable") and then refer to the fact that without migrant labour the booming fruit and vegetable farms would be struggling. On Friday their surveys seem to side with those who are already here but show rising concern about the coming Eastern Europeans (59% negative).
Nigel Farage is capturing the national concern brilliantly. If you read the UKIP election manifesto you will realise that he is a popularist who is basically beer and hot air. I think Cameron drinks fine wines but his utterings fall into the Farage camp.
Over to you. Is the main Street in Boston looking East or West?

For Captain Picard Day, a Star Trek mug cozy. Hot.
Did you know that June 16th is recognized by Star Trek fans as Captain Picard Day? According to Memory Alpha:
Captain Picard Day was an annual event held aboard the USS Enterprise-D for the ship's schoolchildren. Activities included a contest, judged by Captain Jean-Luc Picard himself, in which the children created paintings and models of the captain. Picard was himself not very fond of the event, as he generally did not respond well to children.
To honor Captain Picard's favorite beverage, here is an easy mug cozy for you to whip together to enjoy a cup of tea. Earl Grey. Hot. Katie over at Punk Projects has all the how-to details waiting for you in the Ready Room. You still have time to make one before Tuesday.
How do you plan to celebrate Captain Picard Day?

There were no surprises at Vanderbilt on Sunday when the 2008 NCAA Basketball Tournament brackets were announced.
The 18th-ranked Commodores, 26-7, received a No. 4 seed and will play No. 13 seed Siena on Friday in the first round of the Midwest Regional at the St. Pete Times Forum in Tampa, Fla.
VU received its highest seeding since 1993. Coach Kevin Stallings said justice was served.
"I thought our résumé clearly spoke for itself," he said. "There's just not a lot on there not to like."
Vanderbilt, making back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances for the first time since 1988-89, finished 19-0 at home this season, won 10 Southeastern Conference regular-season games for the second straight season and matched a school record with 25 regular-season wins.
In addition, the Commodores remain No. 11 in the latest Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) despite last Friday's loss to Arkansas in the SEC Tournament quarterfinals.
"When they put those top 16 seeds up there and our school was listed, that was certainly a source of pride," Stallings said. "We feel good about what we were doing during the regular season. We've had a wonderful season so far, but we know we'll be remembered by what's coming in front of us."
Siena, which won the MAAC Tournament championship on Monday, will make its first NCAA Tournament appearance under coach Fran McCaffery and its first since 2002. The Saints' previous postseason tournament was in 2003, when they advanced to the third round of the NIT.
The Saints [22-10], winners of six straight games, posted regular-season victories over NCAA Tournament participants Stanford and Boise State. They lost to tournament teams Cornell, Saint Joseph's and Memphis.
Already, some national analysts are predicting a Siena upset of Vanderbilt. Seth Davis of CBS made such a proclomation Sunday.
At this point, the Commodores expect it.
"That's kind of been the story of my life here at Vanderbilt," senior Shan Foster said. "All four years, we've been the underdog. Even going into the tournament last year we were the underdog. We just take the same attitude and approach that we have all season."
VU hopes the lessons it learned in last year's NCAA Tournament hold sway this week.
Three Commodore senior starters — Foster, Alex Gordon and Ross Neltner — were starters last season as VU toppled George Washington and Washington State before losing to Georgetown in a controversial East Region semifinal.
"Having that experience last year will really benefit our team this year just because we understand what it takes to win and the tournament format," Neltner said. "We have a lot of guys coming back who played a lot of minutes in last year's tournament. The upperclassmen will try to convey that to the younger guys, that everyone steps up their game a level."
That's what Stallings is counting on.
"I think tournament experience is really important," he said. "If you haven't been there, you don't know what it's like. We're hopeful that that is beneficial to us and we think it will be."

Sometimes web designers get caught up in the illusion that they are building just a tiny little "local" web site, or that their employer is such a "well known" entity that "everybody" knows what their acronym stands for.
Mega illusion.
No matter how "local" your business is, if it's a public site, remember this: it takes the same amount of clicks ("one") to reach it from Mongolia as from Michigan.
So design it as though your visitor would be a total stranger. Otherwise you can frustrate even your local visitors.
Example 1:
I forgot the number of local newspaper or TV station sites which do not even bother to mention the STATE in which they are located!
Many times in the past I read a story I liked in a local publication. I then wanted to give full reference to the story but all I'd see on the page would be "Springfield Herald" or "Rockville News", etc.
WHICH Springfield or WHICH Rockville?
If you spend a few minutes clicking on 3, 4 or 5 pages in a row, you eventually find the state but you end up asking yourself "why?"
Why does a local publication be so oblivious to the fact that people NOT from your neck of the woods might be visiting your site as well?
Why alienate them since you never know who will click and honor your advertisers?
Example 2:
Again, the issue of acronyms... Some large organizations get so complacent that they simply forget to write the open form of their well-known acronyms.
AARP is a case in point.
I challenge you to visit www.aarp.org and find out what "AARP" exactly means.
If you find it let me know and I'd be happy to note it down. But if you can't, don't feel too bad because I've already spent 15 minutes to find it with no success.
I'm of course 100% sure that AARP stands for "American Association of Retired People" due to the power of the AARP brand but why turn it into a mystery game and a puzzle who may not know it?
Why frustrate the visitors who might not be too familiar with your acronym?
GOLDEN RULE: help your visitors easily find the MOST OBVIOUS INFORMATION about your company or organization like your full address, or the full name of your organization.
Frustrated visitors do not make profitable customers or members. They do not come back either.

TEL AVIV (Jul. 22)
Sgt. Yitzhak Levy, 19, the Israel Defense Force soldier killed in an ambush attack while on routine patrol in the southern Lebanon security zone, was buried with full military honors in his home town of Ashkelon on Wednesday.
His funeral was delayed until the arrival of his sister, who had been on vacation in the United States.
Four of five other soldiers wounded in the ambush which killed Levy and in the explosion of a roadside bomb under another vehicle speeding to the aid of the stricken patrol, have been discharged from the hospital. The Iranian-backed Hezbollah group claimed credit for both attacks.
One more soldier remains in the hospital for treatment for chest and neck wounds.
IDF and South Lebanon Army forces in the Israeli-controlled security zone safely dismantled two more roadside bombs on Wednesday without casualties or damage.

How Binaural Beats Help with Self Hypnosis
We have all heard of hypnosis and many of us have seen people hypnotized. I have vivid memories of going to a hypnotist show where he had people speaking foreign languages and quacking like a chicken. It never seemed very appealing to me.
However in later years I have realized the value of self-hypnosis and how binaural beats can make the process easy and quick.
What is Self-Hypnosis?
Self-hypnosis does not mean sitting in a trance like state with no control over what you say or do.
Self-hypnosis means having full control over your subconscious mind. It is a way of bypassing the conscious mind in order to re-program your expectations and inner belief system. By working directly with your subconscious, the possibilities for positive change are endless.
What can be Achieved with Self-Hypnosis?
Often we are not consciously aware of the blockages that we have accumulated over our lifetime. Our programming started from the second we were born and likely even before that. The subconscious is working day in and day out to mold and shape our life, expectations and actions.
It can be difficult to understand why a blockage is there or why you are not able to achieve something. The conscious mind can't always make sense of what is going on and why. However if you can tap into your subconscious mind and clear the blockages that are hindering you then you may find all sorts of positive changes occurring almost instantly.
Self-hypnosis can be extremely beneficial for:
- Sharper focus and concentration
- Achieving success
- Beating addictions
- Clearing negative thought forms
- Having a more positive outlook on life
- Relationships
- Self-love and self-confidence
- Athletes
- Achieving goals
- Improved health
- and lots more
In fact self-hypnosis has been so successful that even major companies and organizations are promoting self-hypnosis techniques to their employees. Olympic athletes are also champions at using self-hypnosis for focus and concentration.
Whether you have a major goal in mind or just want to make some positive changes to your life, hypnosis is a fantastic way to achieve that and binaural beats make the process ten million times easier.
To find affordable, high quality self-hypnosis products please read our page on binaural beats to see what we recommend.
Using Binaural Beats for Self-Hypnosis
Binaural beats work with the brain frequencies in order to tap into the subconscious state and work with different altered states of mind. When the brain gets into a highly focused state as it does when listening to binaural beats, it will respond very quickly to our instructions. The mind is able to tune into only the positive aspects and eliminate the negative energy that may be there.
If self-hypnosis with binaural beats is used effectively it can bring about excellent and long-lasting results. You will find that besides achieving your desired goal, self-hypnosis with binaural beats can help with:
- increased memory
- sharper focus
- much higher self-confidence
Hypnosis can actually change the way you approach life in a very positive way. Binaural beats are the fastest and easiest way I have come across to achieve this kind of success quickly.
Brainwave entrainment has been around for well over 170 years and is totally scientifically proven. There is no reason that only major corporations and athletes should be able to take advantage of self-hypnosis techniques. Every single person out there has some type of goal they want to achieve… whether it is for their careers, for their family, for their health, or for their relationships… we all want to achieve something.
Binaural beats and other forms of brainwave entrainment can help you do that.
How to Use the Binaural Beats to be most Effective with Hypnosis
When I use binaural beats for self-hypnosis I usually start my session by choosing one specific goal. For example, perhaps I want to work on self-love. I will choose an affirmation such as "I love myself exactly as I am right now". I will then put on my headphones, plug into my brainwave entrainment software and allow my brain to tune out.
You will feel when you are in that total relaxed state. The conscious mind begins to leave and you will likely feel an almost out-of-body experience. At this point I begin repeating my affirmation over and over. If I am working on love I will usually visualize myself being surrounded by a pink light that radiates love. I feel love, see love and think love all the while repeating my affirmation over and over. This process can be done for any goal or aspiration of your choice.
This can be done with any good brainwave entrainment product but the Unexplainable Store does have a very specific recording for self-hypnosis that is very effective and very affordable.
For more information on the Unexplainable Store and the effectiveness of binaural audios please see our page on binaural beats.
