Now I know you say to me how do you know they’re hypnotized if they don’t even know you hypnotized them! You might also be a little bit skeptical because all those medical journals and books on hypnosis claim that you can not make someone do anything that they don’t want to do, or wouldn’t want to do even under hypnosis. And even more of you are skeptical because you’ve seen “stage” hypnosis and can’t quite grasp the reality of it. Well, I’m telling you that Hypnosis is simply state of sleep. You go into hypnosis most nights, it’s sort of like the REM stage of sleep, but your brain is more conscious of its surroundings.

If you learn to control hypnosis for yourself you can actually learn faster, sleep less, and still feel energized. I learned this when I was young, though I didn’t know what it was I would put myself into a state of hypnosis at school during lectures, or readings. Doing so helped me to retain 99% of what I heard or saw. It has also been said that a thirty minutes of hypnosis can be like eight hours of rest… not sure how much of that one I believe, I know it does seem more peaceful and relaxing than normal… but your body does still need to just stop for a while and rebuild.

A few things that do bother me a lot about it are A) it’s slow to swing, which is understandable, just sucks vs. knifers with quick jabs B) the secondary fire isn’t a one shot kill, you really only get a single shot with this secondary fire, it had better count more! C) the reach isn’t extended, alright come on, I’ve got a sword, they’ve got knives… let’s do the math I win, they die.

I can’t complain that much… especially seeing as the first game I played with it I ended up with 25 kills and 12 deaths. The second game was a little closer as I only had 18 kills and 10 deaths. Still a LOT better than I usually do.

None of this is very odd to me since I’m a strong believer in the idea that you can do church, and really should DO church everywhere. We’re not talking about some building, church is about the people because Jesus was about the people. We call ourselves Christ Followers or Christians yet we often forget that Christ didn’t have the comforts of a nice “church” building to preach in, nor would he ever pass up the opportunity to stop and do church with the least, the lost, and the lonely along his journey’s.

If you’re not into the “traditional church” (which is non-traditional in my mind since it doesn’t come from the source of Church. Church is God’s idea, and he started it in the fields and along the streets not in some rusty old building) then you really should check out the first-ever inaugural Theatre Church Conference in Silver Spring, MD on October 22 & 23

Don’t be afraid to Find out more. Who knows you just might end up liking it

All I need is like $2,000 and I’d be doing awesome!  If I could get ApplyMyWay.com launched (which is going to be two weeks until the Beta, doesn’t help that I can’t work on it tonight) it would be amazing to be able to launch it with a PRWeb press release, put up two $100 opportunities, $5 a piece one for Archmaille.com to try and push it over to a PR4 and one for ApplyMyWay.com to try and make the site successful.

It sucks that tonight I can’t even work on ApplyMyWay, or Archmaille.com because in the switching over of my servers (moving to one that is more powerful but costs $100 a month less) they are the only two sites that haven’t moved with the DNS records yet… It really sucks that Archmaille.com hasn’t since there are still opportunities open on P3 and it’s the weekend!  I know once daylight hits they’ll get gobbled up… I’d like to make my $20 for today and call it good… just can’t!

One of the greatest things about True isn’t that they have thousands, and thousands of users, but rather that IT’S FREE TO SIGN UP! You can also search for free! So what are you waiting for? Why haven’t you found your true love yet? Prince charming, or your beautiful princess could be waiting just around the e-corner. In today’s age of computers there is no reason why anyone needs to be single. Especially when you can sign up for a dating service online for free! Luckily I don’t have to get on you, and yell at you about doing this right away (I mean because you already are aren’t you?) because this isn’t some special promotion offer to get people trapped into a monthly payment on the site. It’s always free to sign up, it’s always free to search. You can find the love and happiness that you deserve without high monthly fees.  What other dating service can say that?  Don’t hesitate to get started, signup is free!

Whichever one it is I’m glad most of the part time bloggers are moving out of the market place which gives room for us full time bloggers to, well actually make a living!  It also takes up some of the pressure that was there as I was trying to get ApplyMyWay.com ready to go, which I figure is about 2 weeks away from Beta Testing.

Then I’m going to do a $100 at $5 a piece blogging campaign for it.  I’d love to launch with a PRWeb press release too… but that may be a couple of months (if at all).  It’ll be nice saving $100 a month on server costs though!  Now just to take advantage of that.

I tried to coast home with Rose’s car… and failed miserably. Her car is a big heavy car with a powerful steering box to help turn. You don’t really notice how much a power steering rack improves turning until you go without. It was instantly as if the car had no turning capacity… needless to say that’s not something I’ll be doing while in Rose’s car any more

Entering the home I was greeted by Rose who was greeting everyone else as they came in and she asked if a certain piece had been added to the exhibit. As if it were my home and we were the ones putting on the show for everyone, I knew exactly what she was talking about, a piece of art gathered late for the showing, but to be the center piece of all. Remembering that it in fact was not added to the gallery I went back outside to gather the piece which was veiled and on a cart… obviously to tease the guests. While the guests all mingled, danced, and snacked I spent the rest of the dream attempting to discretely add this piece of art to the gallery unnoticed.

The gallery had not yet been opened to the guests so getting to it unnoticed was no problem… it was however a problem to add anything to it. Even though it was my own home the guards patrolling the gallery posed a problem… for some reason I didn’t want to be seen by them. So I wandered around, trying to sneak this art piece into the exhibit while dodging guards the whole night until one spotted me and followed me for a while until I mixed in with the crowd finding Jason, and Ken dancing together I mingled with them and lost the guard… that’s about the time I woke up.

Unfortunately it is impossible to beat Dragon Naturally Speaking not only because it is a very quick typing program. Since all they have to do is talk and it types it out for you. I was trying to do things the way that they would normally go… it’s most certainly not the first time that guy has read that sentence, so why should it be the first time I type it?

I have nothing better to do so I kept on taking the dragon speed test, trying to get better at it while writing this Dragon Reviews post. Thinking I could at least show a little speed increase while typing.

The real problem is such that the little flash game is neither consistent, nor accurate.  Oh it’s fun, and does an excellent job of making their program look great as the results for it are always consistent… even if it’s not humanly possible for it to be consistent.  Because they just have a pre-recorded little message, and the speed for it on record and that won’t change.

I just want to know what happens when you’re trying to think and say things like “Um…” and “Oh crap… quit typing… backspace!!! Backspace!!! No, quit… stop it… go away!”  Does it type that out?  Does it actually backspace for you?  Does it really put the punctuation in like it does in the little impossible flash game?  (Oh, and if you were wondering, yes, that does say 1,020 words per minute, and an 87% accuracy rating even with 100% correct spelling, 100% correct punctuation, and 100% correct capitalization).

87% accuracy… odd… wonder if anyone has ever been higher.  I’d really like to know… I’d love to see what my real accuracy rating is… Okay, yeah, I used a macro to get the uber high WPM count (and BTW what they mean by Dragon Naturally Speaking could increase your speed by: 22% they really mean that it could decrease your speed by 78%).  I have no doubts that Dragon Naturally Speaking could improve some peoples productivity, but the whole speed test they use and everything are just deceptively worded, deceptively capped accuracy rating, and so on…

Watch these videos for accurate information on Dragon Naturally Speaking, and how it might be useful to you.

Which actually reminds me that here soon I’ll have time to work on A2562!  It’s still going to be some time yet, I’m writing for it little by little so that I’ve got several weeks built up to start with.  I want to get ApplyMyWay launched first (which I just stayed up all night working on, and have VERY good progress on, should be functional by Friday, October 17).  Then I’ve also got to get an Oasis Community Church site going.  That shouldn’t take more than a week or maybe two though.

Okay so I was commissioned by the SportsVids website to write this post… no problem, I do a lot of paid posting as you all know. I also give my honest opinion as you all know as well At first I just found a couple of my favorite sports clips on Youtube… I mean, where else do you go to find videos. If I were more into sports it’d be nice to have a designated place where I knew I could find nothing but sports and wouldn’t have to dig through so much crap… but even at that I don’t think I’m so dedicated to handle their website.

Here’s the deal. They wanted me to upload five videos and put ‘em on their site, and on here to share with the world… awesome! Not a problem, a little bit of a hassle since I don’t have any sports clips on my computer I’ve got to download ‘em from YouTube first and then upload them to SportsVids eh… yeah, not happening.

After being on the team with MTV for two years, and finally moving away from that job I REFUSE and I mean absolutely completely utterly refuse to look at horribly coded websites and try to use them. When people have more money than sense is when I run out of patience. I used to get paid $400 to work out the kinks of websites like this one, and I am not doing so for $15 heck I hated it when I got $400-$1,000 per site. Here’s the deal, when you register you have to put in your country… okay, a little more info than they need, but it’s not out of standard range so I can deal. Then out of nowhere when you go to fill out the captcha there’s an Ajax load of additional fields for City and State… er… annoying but fine. After registration there is no email validation! Woot! Gonna fill the site with spam at some point I’m sure, but hey makes it less annoying for real people. uh… problem is logging in is more of a pain in the rear side. Type your username, hit tab, type your password, hit enter… nothing… yeah, for those of you like me who don’t like to move your hands from your keyboards unless absolutely necessary when filling in forms… you’ll hate this site, the mysteriously appearing ajax forms for City and State suck when trying to tab through registration, and you can’t log in without using your mouse… le sigh! Then when you finally do log in it first logs you in to the PHPBB 3.0 forum (or at least I believe it’s PHPBB 3.0.2 could be wrong). However when you click “upload videos” you’re not logged into the main site! Whoever built the site did a decent enough job of integrating PHPBB 3 and the user log in system, they just obviously didn’t get the whole cookie system down and you have one cookie for the PHPBB forum, and another for the rest of the site… so it’s log in time again. Now on to uploading videos. This is where I ran into even MORE mysteriously appearing City/State forms and this is where I gave up. So here are my two favorite Sports Clips from YouTube.

SportsVids.com call me back when you get the bugs worked out of your site… it really should be in Beta phase right now… you’re kicking out a site WAY too early, it needs testing, and flukes worked out of it before you launch it. This is one thing that bugged the crap out of me with MTV launching 4-5 sites a month, not a single darn one that should of even come out of Beta phase.

And then some Michael Jordan Action… seriously… I’m not a huge basketball fan, but watching this guy play, there are just some things a man was born for, and playing b-ball was what Jordan was born to do.

One of the greatest matchups of all time. Kobe Bryant, vs. Michael Jordan

Of course another great athlete gotta give some respect to Tiger Woods. (I know it’s a commercial, but jeez… that’s still some skillz!)

After getting all my sites on the server I started noticing more and more that I was missing… mostly because the first site I was testing was not a live site so there was nothing to worry about.  So now I wasn’t getting email updates for anything, which I thought was either A) my updated plesk version or B) my new Linux OS I was trying.  So I first reimaged the server back to Plesk 8.2 and tried again.  Still nothing was working exactly correct.  So I went back to the other OS… still to no avail, and other problems were MUCH worse now…

It’s been that way for at least a month or so because of Pirate Fest and everything I just didn’t have the time to stay up all night reconfiguring my server.  Now that I’m back though I’ve finally done so and it’s great being back!  I also found out that the email problem was a Plesk thing, but didn’t matter what version I had, it’s just a quirk and easily fixed (oddly enough fixed it by turning my email service off)

Charter Cable Services is also giving away a Honda Civic Hybrid! Not only save money on your cable, television, or high speed internet access but you can also save money every month in your brand new Honda Civic Hybrid that gets 45 miles per gallon on the highway! Makes me think back to my days of driving my little Geo Metro around. It also got approximately 45 MPG and I remember being able to travel to my girlfriend Rose’s house, and back (a 150 mile trip round trip) twice on a single tank of gas! Not only are you saving tons of money every month both in your cable bill and your gas mileage but you are also helping to save the environment with fewer emissions.

Plus! There is no purchase necessary. Which means all current Charter customers are eligible to enroll in their chance to win the Honda Civic Hybrid as well! The only eligibility requirements for registering to win the Honda Civic Hybrid (worth $24,000 if I hadn’t mentioned it already) is that you are within the Charter service area. And if you’re already a customer with them, you know you’re in their area

I’ve been using AD.com for my handcrafted sterling silver chainmail jewelry for years now… and well it’s about time the site started bringing in it’s fair share of the profits as well… now that I pay $200 a month in hosting fees for my server I feel it is necessary to make more of my sites profitable. Especially since I spend over $150 a year just in domain fees! You never really realize how much things add up over time until you really stop to look at them. So for my handcrafted jewelry it’s now blogging time on the subjects of everything from handmade sterling silver jewelry to just plain old chainmail jewelry. Whatever takes the cake and makes a profit in the process.

When it comes to women’s watches though something more refined, delicate, and intricate is in order. Bulova does great work, but Cartier does amazingly beautiful things with their watches. They make the most elegant women’s watches you can find anywhere. Now a cartier women’s watch is not going to be cheap anywhere you look. We’re talking about $40,000 watches such as this one that I just love:

But from The Watchery you save 25% (or $10,000 for those of you like me bad at math). Still a better deal than you will find anywhere else, and most certainly a better price than you will get if you buy it directly from Cartier. These are not cheap Chinese knock offs or faux brands… they’re the real deal, at better prices than you can find anywhere else. Come visit The Watchery for your watch needs!

I would love to surprise my wife with a Cartier watch this holiday season. Don’t you think she deserves something beautiful to make her eyes sparkle?

I really wish PMC had white gold so that I could make a wedding ring for myself.  I was thinking just a white gold band, and then the Celtic knot through the middle of it in yellow gold.  Of course I can still do it with Silver and Gold, but silver tends to tarnish a little bit more than gold… so who knows which way I’ll go.

Speaking of white gold I was able to obtain a beautiful 14k white gold ring for Rose last weekend so I could propose to her :-D  I did so at Pirate fest right after she got done with her Irish dance with 3 pints gone on Sunday.  The ring is quite simple, but still beautiful, both of us are very satisfied with the outcome (even if it was free, just about fits my budget :-P)

So I made a trip to Wally-World and grabbed some uber cheap speakers just to do the job.  Granted they’re only $15 and I didn’t expect much out of them the only real complaints I have is the lack of sound quality (go figure).  There is absolutely zero bass, and the highs are piercing and painful… but so long as you keep them at a semi-low volume they do alright.

Anyone who is looking for prescription eyeglasses should check out ZenniOptical.com for great deals! If you need more information on ZenniOptical and their great deals check out http://clarkhoward.com/liveweb/shownotes/2007/06/27/12362/ <– that link for great information!  Personally I don’t have to worry about glasses yet… though I wonder how long that will last as I don’t think I see very well, even though the doctors say I do I’ve never gone to see an Optomitrist so it will be very good to keep Zenni Optical in mind when I go looking for prescription eyeglasses in the future… that is if I end up needing them.  Maybe my eyesight is just normal and they’re not lying to me :-P  That is one catch 22 about eyes you never really know, or well any sense for that matter you never really know what “normal” is because you can’t borrow someone elses eyes, or ears for the day.

Let me tell you though if you do anything bad they will be the first to vote you down… which really sucks because I write lots and lots of very good articles… a few not so good ones where I get sarcastic and rude at times, but still lots of very good ones.  The funny thing is I usually get sarcastic on the uber low paying ones like $5 (that is the minimum payment for a P3 post) and review these sketchy companies as they should be… because I’m not recommending these companies to my readers when they have terrible work!  They’re always the first to complain… stupid cheap bastards.  The higher paying reviews I do a much better job with and most of them don’t tack rating me up any… I finally got the tack rating I needed though to push me back up to a 3 which opened up TONS of opportunities for me :-D  that sort of rating allows me to make a minimum of $15 per blog, per day which currently with my two blogs (here and archmaille.com) that are on P3 makes me $900 a month…. and soon when bo-lings.info gets up on it’s feet will add another $15 a day to that list and make even more money
