Aleratec Adds Performance Software to its 1:21 USB Flash Drive Copy Cruiser

Aleratec Inc. announced today the release of the Aleratec USB Key Cleaner utility, which will help customers ensure the best performance from their Windows-based computer. This utility will be added to the powerful Aleratec USB Duplication Software Suite already included free with purchase of the duplicator.

Chatsworth, CA (Vocus) May 25, 2010

This utility will be added to the powerful Aleratec USB Duplication Software Suite already included free with purchase of the duplicator.

Computers that use the Windows operating system keep a record of every USB device that has ever been installed to that particular machine in its Windows Registry. As the number of these “USB Keys” grows, the computer’s performance can be negatively affected.

The new Aleratec USB Key Cleaner utility gives users the power to remove USB Key entries from their Windows Registry through a simple, intuitive interface. Once installed, users can manually execute a cleaning or create a custom schedule for automatic cleaning at configurable intervals, including daily, weekly, and/or monthly. Best of all, it is compatible with Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

“We recognize that performance is critical to our customers, “said Perry Solomon, President and CEO. “With the USB Key Cleaner utility, our customers can quickly and easily restore their computer’s performance with a safe and user-friendly application. I’m happy to announce that this upgrade will also be available free to customers who have already purchased one of our 1:21 USB Flash Drive Copy Cruiser units.”

The Aleratec 1:2 USB Flash Drive Copy Cruiser duplicates up to 21 USB flash drives simultaneously and includes a full-featured software suite that guides you in selecting parameters and functions such as Copy Only, Format Only, Format and Copy, Image Copy, Format and Image Copy. It also has a File Copy option where you can select down to the file level for copying from available folders.

Existing Owners

If you already own an Aleratec 1:21USB Flash Drive Copy Cruiser and would like more information about taking advantage of this new utility, please contact Aleratec at support@aleratec. com. You will be required to show proof of purchase for your Copy Cruiser.

"Think Yourself Healthy!™ The Effectiveness of Hypnotherapy" From The North Shore Women's Journal, December 2005, <a href="http://www. NSWJ. com" onclick="linkClick(this. href)">http://www. NSWJ. com</a&gt

"Think Yourself Healthy!™ The Effectiveness of Hypnotherapy" From The North Shore Women's Journal, December 2005, http://www. NSWJ. com

It's July 2000. I am sitting on a paper sheet in my doctor's office in Beverly Hills, California and am anxiously looking at my watch. Doesn't he know I'm busy?! Dr. Michael Soffer finally walks in and tells me that I had to quit smoking. "Funny", I said. "My OBGYN just said the very same thing a few days ago, but now just isn't a good time for me". I was responsible for six companies and was under a lot of pressure. He then suggested I see a hypnotherapist. "A whatie what"?! Having my conservative and highly respected Doctor tell me to see a hypnotist was like, well, - "like so totally LA…"

Essex County, MA (PRWEB) December 20, 2005

The North Shore Women's Journal, http://www. NSWJ. com (http://www. NSWJ. com).

It's July 2000. Juliette Lackey was sitting on a paper sheet in her doctor's office in Beverly Hills, California and was anxiously looking at her watch. Doesn't he know I'm busy?! Dr. Michael Soffer finally walks in and tells her that she has to quit smoking. "Funny", Juliette said. "My OBGYN just said the very same thing a few days ago, but now just isn't a good time for me". I was responsible for six companies and was under a lot of pressure. He then suggested I see a hypnotherapist. "A whatie what"?! Having my conservative and highly respected Doctor tell me to see a hypnotist was like, well, - "like so totally LA…"

I loved to smoke! You see, I was born, raised and educated in Switzerland. After age 12 it was illegal "not" to smoke. Nevertheless, I made the appointment (to get the Doc off my back) and smoked 4 cigarettes on my way to Terrie Huberman's office. I was nervous, guarded and more than dubious. Aren't hypnotists voodoo practicing, devil worshipping vampires? Terrie opened her door, looking like a normal human being - go figure. She asked me a ton of questions about my smoking, relaxed me to the point where I felt like dozing off, and 3 hours later, I was a non-smoker.

Terrie recorded our session and gave me the tape to take home. I listened to it every night while falling asleep. That's it. That's all I had to do. It was so easy but it didn't make sense to me! Why did I not go crazy? Why wasn't I tense and driving everyone around me nuts? Well, let's just wait and see until that one big bad dramatic thing happens that always threw me off the wagon in the past. And then it did - big bad dramatic divorce! And during the entire process, I never even thought about smoking.

I was so intrigued that I began looking into these "mind-over-matter" topics. The more I read, the more impressed I became. I dreamt about being a hypnotist one night and the next day, enrolled in the Cara Institute of Advanced Hypnosis.

So how does it work? When we repeatedly do something, a network of kindled nerve cells is created. These nerve cells are in a constant state of "firing", ready to do that one thing over and over again (smoking while drinking a cup of coffee, or grabbing a bag of chips while watching TV). When we go into a deep state of relaxation, somewhere between Theta & Delta, those cells relax and calm down. A "communications" channel is established between the two sides of the brain and by using guided imagery, visualizations and positive suggestions, new nerve networks can be created. By repeatedly listening to the new suggestions, these newly created cell networks begin firing more and more consistently, while the "old" networks start losing their firepower. That's how we change a behavior or a habit like smoking, overeating and overreacting during stressful situations.

Being hypnotized does not mean you'll have an out-of-body experience. You always remain in control. I cannot make you say or do anything you don't want to. Think about going to sleep at night - it's like that very last thought that crosses your mind. Like: "I have to remember to buy toilet paper tomorrow". Now, you won't wake up in the morning, yelling at the top of your lungs:"TOILET PAPER!"

Think you cannot be hypnotized? The only people that cannot be are the severely retarded and children under the age of 7.

I absolutely love what I do. There's nothing better than to help someone quit smoking and see them two weeks later smelling great, skin glowing and eyes sparkling. Their breathing has already improved; they are back in control and feel free from the addiction.

How about Robert who smoked 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 45 years, tried to stop countless times, and hasn't had a cigarette since our first meeting well over a year ago.

Smokers have different habits. Some smoke everywhere in the house, some only in the kitchen and the bathroom. Some people's car won't start unless they light up… And others only smoke at social functions. That's one of the reasons I do not conduct group sessions. Each hypnotherapy session is completely personalized.

I get equally excited when an overweight person starts losing weight - easily and effortlessly. One of my clients called one day saying: "Juliette, I just walked into a fudge shop and walked back out realizing I didn't want any! I'm not sure how this works, and I don't care - I'm just so happy"! This star of mine has lost 30 lbs so far and continues do to great. Not everyone is heavy for the same reasons. Some don't feel satisfied unless they've eaten 3 plates full of food. Others eat all day long, never allowing their stomach to rest. Some have sugar addictions and others go nuts about salt, there's emotional eating and irrational eating. Stress can be a causative factor for eating or overeating. Thus, my weight loss program is completely personalized, addressing each client's specific needs.

By the way, Hypnotism is approved by the American, Canadian and British Medical Associations. Recent scientific studies done at Harvard and Stanford Universities involving PET (positron emission tomography) scans have proven the effectiveness of Hypnotism.

As a member of the National Guild of Hypnotists, Juliette Lackey adheres to a very strict code of conduct. She has written several articles which have been published, was interviewed on a nationwide radio talk show and speaks frequently about hypnotism to the public. Juliette is a member of the missions committee of her local church, belongs to the North Shore Women In Business, the Lynn Area Chamber of Commerce, and recently earned her certification in Complementary Medical Hypnotism.

If you have a behavior or a habit you'd like to quit or change, Juliette wants to help.

It's time to…

Invest Smart – Buy Miami Real Estate

Invest Smart – Buy Miami Real Estate

The American paradise – is known for the picturesque settings, unbelievable weather of sun, sunshine all the year around, celebrations, and gaiety. Those who have missed Miami have not visited Miami have missed America.

Miami, FL (PRWEB) May 20, 2005

There is more to Miami than the sparkling water and ethereal sandy beaches. The city of diverse cultures Miami is known for itÂ’s unbelievable nightlife, condos on the oceanfront and recording studios. The city is a gourmetÂ’s delight with exquisite eateries catering to all moods and styles.

The familiar deco drive, which runs north – South parallel to the Oceanfront, is punctuated with cafes and ocean front real estate.

The Miami River is the futuristic landmark of recreation and trendy living which will drive the Miami real estate in the years to come. The flurry of real estate and construction activity Miami is scheduled to torpedo the economic scenario of Miami and the place to invest for the discerning investor.

The zenith of the real – estate escalation is well within site and predictably, this makes real – estate a desirable and highly competitive market for the investors of yore.

The market has a gamut of options for investors regardless of the purchasing power for significantly the real –estate market has properties both residential and commercial to suit all tastes and budgets.

The draw of the commercial properties is but to be expected considering that Miami is a purely cosmopolitan city, which has a huge influx of visitors all round the year. This sunshine city boasts of the sun the year round little to discourage the pleasure visitors.

Not surprisingly, the real estate market is buoyant in Miami considering that it is fuelled by real estate investors the world over – be America, Canada or even Europe. The sunny climate, houses for all budgets and healthy economy in this pleasure city only further reiterates that investing in real estate in Miami – it the right choice!

The phenomenally low rates of interest – a shade under six percent for the year 2004 and the projection for 2005 is a marginal firming up of interest rates. This further reiterates the belief that property rates would continue to escalate in 2005 and an investment in real estate whether in commercial or residential property would make enormous economic sense.

Miami has the right product mix be it education, entertainment or even jobs – which dispels any myths about Miami being a viable destination – but only for the upward mobile.

The exponential growth in real estate prices in Miami are the logical sequel of the restricted supply of real estate relative to the ever – increasing demand for real estate.

The median sales price is better defined as the sale price at which fifty percent of the houses sold are at a higher price than the median price and the balance fifty - percent are at a lower price. Miami homes have shown a steady increase in median price of homes, which is evidence in itself of the viability factor of real estate here.

A phenomenal increase in real – estate costs by an impressive seventy percent over the last five years will go a long way in inducing the economically aware customer to opt for that Miami buy which has but few alternatives.
